      ICHAHTIST TRAGTS FOR THE TIMES m Ifo .-VIIL Chartism , and the Charter , dem fended . By the Kuikpale Chartist Pbi-M soxees . London : J .

      g | THE JUm-CORX LAW AGITATIOS . H The agitation originated with the Lancashire cot-Ktoii spinners , some of whom had previously joined in Einassacring the people who assembled at Peterloo Sfcr ihe same purpose in August , 1 S 19 , the only dif-Kerence being that Henry Ilunt required Universal Hufirasc with a Repeal of the Corn Laws . The liaise statements with which the Free Traders en-39 eavoured to prop up iheir arguments , called for §| he opposition of the leadine Chartists , and the doctrines of Free Trade were made the subject of Searching scrutiny bv these able and indomitable i&iampions of tucV . ghts of labour . The lying so-Khistrics of the paid lecturers of ihe " Anfa-Ooi-n Haw League , " were scattered to the -winds , and on ventured

      Krei-v occasion that the League hirelings HiO tiold a public discussion they were uniformly gSefeated . We have been termed disturbers , obstructives , < Lc , for honestly upholding our -news Wbn these occasions , but , let the real facts be known , fend it will then be seen , that the Chartists merely M&cted on the defensive . When the Free Traders Mound their arguments refuted at open air or public gfneetings , they betook themselves to the exclusive nvstem , and under the pretence of ascertaining public Sppinion , contrived , by means of the ticket system , lo exclude the only portion of the pahlic who would S > ecome sufferers through the establishment oftheir raRews , namely ; the working class . * , * KThev abused the power which they gained under aim

They convened packed gineetings , issuing tickets to their laequeys and dependents , and afterwards published ibe l'esolutions als the free and untramnieled decision of the public , ¦ frhev employed bands of ruffians to bludgeon ana Kpaltrcat their opponents ; and caused the news-¦ lapers in their pav to falsify the decisions of public ¦ gneetings . As a proof of this Litter charge , we shall B | ive one glaring example , which , for unblushing Sfalsehood , cannot be paralleled even oy our noto-Eiously lying press . The Free Traders of Coventry Convened a meeting of the inhabitants of "Warwickshire , to consider the question of Free Trade . The Kjfceeting was held at the County Hall , and was so Emmerous tint it had to he adjourned to St . ffiklichael ' s Churchyard . A string of resolutions was for the wnicn

      ^ prepared occasion , but tne nrst , as-Sfeerteu the principles of Free Trade , was rejected by E » lar ;; emajority ; and an amendment in favour of Khe People ' s Charter earned in its stead , amidst wbnthusiastie cheering , and so decisive and deter-Etoined was the opposition to the object of the connrcncrs ' of the meeting , that they declined to proceed Esrith the remaining ' resolutions . How mark the Subsequent conduct of these philanthropists . They norwarded the rejected resolutions to the Morning mtCi ' ifonkk , and they were duly published in its Kcoluinns , as bein ? asreed to at a meeting of the gCounty of "Warwickr This needs no comment . E ' arlies who can be guilty of such a fraud on the Rrcblic are utterly umrcrthy of confidence . Yet the Wfcisvcetabk chairman of that meeting , whose name » ras attached to this falsehood , has since been Banavor of the ancient citv of Coventry .

K The miJlocracy , taking advantage of a turn-out Efi-r wages , endeavoured to excite the feelings of the Efcctory operatives by declaring that the sole cause Bc-f low -rages vras the existing Corn laws . Some of BiLem closed their mills uniler this pretonco , and ¦ thus caused a large number of people to be added Bio the mass of unemployed operatives , who availed Btlieniselves of this opportunity of assembling toggether . They held large meetings and unanimously gsjreed , that-their onlv protection consisted in being l&urly represented in Parliament according to the document entitled " The People ' s Charter , " and xnuvcrsally rejected the Free Trade doctrines of their employers . The feeling spread from town

      to town until a great portion of the manufactaring operatives of Yorkshire and Lancashire , cMefly unemplovcd , took up the question . The idli-owners , finding that the people -would not succunib to their views , immediately turned round on them , charging them with riotous proceedings of vMcli themselves had been the sole authors , introduced the military , swore in special constables , and committed a larg ' e number of the leading Chartists to prison to take their trial at the ensuing assizes , after which thev sat as jurymen , and repeated the ¦ pord " "nifty" ' like a cuckoo ' s note , -whenever any c-f tiwapprehendDd operatives appeared uefore them , ifini consigning numbers Of honest men to afelon 5 Sdsn < rcon .

      I After sketching the progress of Chartism to ithe present time , the writer concludes with a IMef , hut clear , exposition of the several 1 " points " of the Charter .

      stand the disadvantages to which we have been subjected . Our brother Dcniocrats will , at least , behold in these tracts , that imprisonment or suffering cannot destroy our love of principle . And that , even when in the hands , and under the power of our enemies , our hearts are with the people , and , however they may neglect or slight us in our seclusion , we do not forget our duty , from the performance of which no power on earth shall intimidate us . The writing of these tracts has been a labour of love , as not one farthing of benefit has accrued to us therefrom , not though any fault of printer or publishers , but from the difficulties to which we have alluded . We intended to have carried them to a greater length , and to have entered into many questions of vital

      importance to the working classes , so -that the whole should have formed a manual of politics , and a clear definition of the social reforms which are necessary to the happiness of the people , so as that no demagogue or political adventurer should be enabled to cheat them . We have performed part of the work , and concluded by a brief defence of Chartism , and shall continue to issue tracts under the same title , as opportunity offers , not vouching for the regularity of their publication , and we earnestly hope that our efforts may induce our readers to have an abiding faith in the ultimate success of the god-like principles of Democracy . Any errors which may appear must be excused for the reasons stated , and we trust that under more favourable auspices we may be hereafter enabled to communicate our thoughts to our proletarian brethren .

      As far as they haveheen published , these tracts do constitute " a manual of politics , " which every working man should possess , and , possessing / should " read , mark , learn , and inwardly digest . " We sincerely hope that , ere long , we shall see our talented and patriotic hrothers resume their literary lahours under more encouraging circumstances . The loss will dg the people ' s if they fail in their snpport of patriots so able , devoted , and incorruptible . . .

"We are informed that the funds rose am « zingly at Changarnior's success in barricade

The monied classes in France will gloat , like our own , over the sacrifice of life at the shrine of " order , " —they a e ignorant of the causes and aims of revo l ution , beyond ( heir own selfish aggrandisement ; bat I say , it were a gain to humanity , and better were it that the minions of tyranny were extirpated in one night —better fifty years of blood than that this infernal thing called " order" should endure much longer " Peace and order !

      '' order "—fools , go read your Testament , ye will find it written there ! the revolution is there inscribed , for there c < n be no millennium until the sons of labour are rendered justice so that thsy may become happy . The sublime teachings of Christ can never become h-me-trutus and heart-companions while people are starving ! It shall not continue , the world slia'I not know peace while we are robbed of our inheritance and our rights are trampled in the dust ! until we , thi producers of wealth , are enfranchised , and have power to ensure our just value in the scale of beingwe will share your heaven or ye shall share our hell !

      suxsimra axd shadow ; a tale of THE ISKETEEXTH CENTURY . BY THOMAS MAKTIN wnEELER , Late Secretary to the ^ National Charter Association and National Land Company . Chapter XIY . From out of everything around he drew A vein of deep and melancholy thought ; Kb plant more sprightly than its fellow grew—2 fo birds could sing sheir melody untaught—No slightest object past unheeded by , But furnish'd food for thought and minstrelsy . * * * * His home , her home , how sweet the accents sound , To every heart hi every clime they come , With fairest dreams and visions interwound ; Dreams of past bliss enhancing present gloom . How fondlv hi the exile ' s heart abound

      Those o'erwrought fancies of the joys of home ! How fondly still he paints his native place ! How decks it out in charms none else can trace ! Dcste . Speedily the vessel neareil the wished-for port , — they had been five weeks at sea , and a few more days would end their voyage . The weather continuing calm , they often passed the forenoon on deck , gazing on the vast expanse of ocean , and noting with curiosity each incident that broke the monotony , of the scene , —a cormorant chasing a flight of sea-gulls—a shark in pursuit of the boneta or flying fish—a tree borne down by the river from its parent forest and launched on the mighty ocean—each event was a text from which Arthur drew a homily , pleasinff and instructive , or dark and chequered

      like his own fate , but all , all were tinctured with bis political aspirations . The cormorant was a picture of the world , where the great preyed upon the small , growing fat and luxurious in the exact proportion that they ground down and oppressed those beneath them . The shark was an emblem of the law ; the poor boneta was the victim , that , driven out of its element , sought shelter in its dry atmosphere , but finding it not was again speedily compelled to seek shelter beneath the waves , until chased and driven from one clement to the other its weary wings can no longer sustain it , and it falls into the jaws of its stronger pursuer . The tree was an emblem of himself , that , torn from his parent earth by the whirlwind of power , was driven about

      by the waves of adversity , and knew not where his resting place would be . Thus did his ever active mind feed upon every aliment , drawing nourishment to his soul , and strengthening the bonds ivhich bound him to his fair auditor . - ;¦ - ¦;¦ - Seated at dinner a few days prior to the termination of the voyage , Mi \ . Weeks , as captain of the Camden , and bound to see the remnant of his crew and passengers to their destination , informed Arthur of his " intention to take passage to Sew York for all those who chose to avail themselves of the opportunity , as speedily as a ship should present itself . Arthur thanked him for the information , and trusted that when they nexj ; sailed in company their voyage would prove more prosperous than the last . 3 Ir . Burke seized the opportunity to call on Capt . Wickham for an extra bottle after dinner to pledge

      their prosperous voyage . " I would thank you for a portion of the breast of that chicken , " said 3 Irs . Elkmson to Mr . Burke ? " Chicken , madam , our voyage has been so long that it has positively got as tough as an old hen , though the cook assures me that he bred them himself ; I fear that the rascal having a greater demand , owing to the honour of your company , ( bowing to Arthur , Capt . Weeks , and the Purser of the Camden , ) has been serving us with the parents instead of their offspring . " " Shall I help you to a little of this loin of lamb , Mr . Burke , " asked Capt . Wickham , " seeing you prefer the juniors of the family ' ?" " 2 fo , captain , in this instance , I prefer the parent . Mr . Morton , I will thank you for a portion of that haunch of mutton . "

      " Will you take turnips or artichokes , Mi . Burke , " inquired Julia ? " The turnips yesterday were ill-mashed , and the milk sour , I will therefore prefer artichokes . Ah ! captain , I would certainly discharge your cook , " said Mr . Burko , as he swallowed the first mouthful , " he has put sweet sauce instead of milk and butter to the artichokes . " Dinner being disposed of , arid wine introduced , in many successive bumpers did Mr . Burke propose a prosperous voyage—abundance of provisions—and a good cook to Capt . Weeks and his companions when next they sailed . The wine flowed freely , for Capt . Wickham was a liberal man , who disdained not to worship at the shrine of Bacchus when bis duties

      interfered not with his pleasures ; all wore elate with tho generous liquor , and the speedy prospect of reaching port . Julia and Arthur alone were melancholy—they had . so lived in tho past that they thought not of the future , but this dinner conversation had roughly reminded them that the hours of their happiness were rapidly gliding away , and that a lew days would in all probability dissever their destinies for ever , —bitter , indeed , was the thought , and no ray of hope from the future came to sweeten or soothe the recollection .

      Their reflections were broken by Mrs . Elkinson inquiring of Arthur , " whether he should avail himself of Capt . Weeks ' s offer or remain some time in the islands ?" Arthur , in a desponding manner , replied , " that island or continent were alike to him ; that his own exertions must create himself a home ; but lie presumed that America would offer the fairest prospect . " Mrs . Elkinson thought otherwise , and offered her interest to secure him an eligible situation either in h ' cr son ' s establishment , or on some neighbouring plantation . Gratefully did Arthur thank the kind-hearted woman for this acceptable offer ; a vague dim hope of future hours of happiness in Lady Baldwin ' s company insensibly animated him and dispelled the melancholy that brooded around him ; and Julia ,

      though she took no part in this conversation , with what feelings of delight did she listen to it ! she could have ftillen at the feet of her kind chaperone and thanked her for thus gilding the dark cloud that hovered over her fate . She had no hope for future happiness—no dream in which her fate could mingle with that of Arthur ; but the thought that he would be an inhabitant of the same island—that she , perchance , might hear of his welfare , might even catch a glimpse of his presence , was a happiness which seemed great indeed when compared with the gloom which previously shaded her thoughts ; and as she walked the deck that evening , leaning on the arm of her beloved , a calm and tranquil joy pervaded her bosom , and found utterance in her sweet and silver

      tones—she spoke of her childhood and the home of her infancy , of her loved parents , and her once adored brother ; and though she had not many ties to attach her to Albion's shores , yet she feared that all the splendour nature had lavished on a tropical clime would not solace her for the recollections of home . And Arthur , he , too , partook of this joy , and grew eloquent as he replied to the gentle breathings of his childhood ' s choice . " Yes , Lady . Baldwin , the green fields of our native land , its pleasant vales and rural villages , will live lon <* in our imagination , becoming more bright and lovely as revolving years increase our absence from them ; and though the land of the tropics may be rich and gay with plants and flowers , whose dyes seem steeped in lleaven ' s

      own beauteous arch , and its atmosphere glitter with winged wanderers , whose plumage shames the sober tints of the noith , and though the l-egal sun shed its splendours over a sky whose beauty is unknown in colder climes , yet will our hearts cling to the past and pant to return to the land of the daisy and tho primrose , the haunt of the redbreast and the nightingale ; still shall we gaze on the cold star of the north and recall , in fancy ' s imagery , the happy English homes its beams enlighten . Truly does the poet say" Oh talk of spring to the trampled flower , Of light to the fallen star , Of glory to those who in danger ' s hour Lie cold on the fields of war :

      But ye mock the exile's heart when ye tell Of aught but the home where it pines to dwell . " Thus did this youthful pair give vent to their feelings of joy , —they dare not speak of each other , or "trace their future lot , this would break the spell which binds them , and lay bare the rocks and shoals of misery and guilt by which they are surrounded , so they fall back on the past , and , in union of sentiment and commingling of recollections , nourish that love which , pure in itself , will , if madly indulged in , bring at least on one of them the world ' s censure and the world ' s scorn . Harsh and unfeeling world—how many noble minds have sunk beneath thy iron censure—how many gentle hearts have rushed into eternity rather than writhe beneath thy

      cruel scorn . Hard is the struggle and difficult the choice . Poverty and the world ' s reprobation , but love , blissful love , on the one hand ; wealth and respect , but a blighted heart and an early grave on the other . Julia chose the latter , and the world's wisdom hallows her choice . Who shall dare to contend against it , let him prepare for bullets , sharp and severe , for he has an enemy to contend with who , once enraged , is hard to be appeased . Religion may boast of its devotion and philosophy , of its equanimity , but both , when severely tried , have bowed to the opinions and customs of the world , false and injurious though they know them to be How long shall man remain a slave to this arbitrary

      rule ! Iiow long shall woman wittier beneath its fiery breath ! Alas ! we progress in all else ; the hands that bound the slave dissolved before the breath of public opinion ; the sway of tho few over the many is gradually losing its potency ; even that dire monster , superstition , is fast losing its envenomed fangs ; but the most fatal of all errors , a false and slavish code of morals , still reigns in all its pristine barbarity , diffusing its poison through every ramification of society ; every effort to loosen its hold seems only to tighten the chain , —its martyrs are few and far between , none daring to encounter the awful fiend .

      PRESENT POLITICAL ASPECT AST ) PROSPECTS OF FRASCE . ( From 2 fo . II . of the Democratic Review for July . ) Paris , June 20 ih . —Paris is in a state of siege ; the Democratic Press is swept away ; and the printing offices of the popular organs have been devastated by a delirious National Guard ; the prisons are full of patriots ; the representatives of the Mountain have been arrested , or are fugitives ; Lyons , our sister , has been conquered and bombarded ; daily does an insane majority make a fresh attack on the constitution ; never , in the worst times , did the cause of democracy seem to be more hopeless ; nevertheless , we exclaim to our friends , to France , to Europe that expects salvation through democracy : Nothing is lost;—take courage . As on the 29 th of January and the 20 th of March , the Government , on the 13 th of June , wished to

      entice Socialism into the streets , in order to crush it with bayonets . Socialism did not answer the perfidious appeal . By a pacific manifestation the people evinced their sympathy for the Roman Republic ; then , dejected and sorrowful , they returned to their homes ravaged . by hunger and cholera , The day of battle is not yet come . Socialism docs not wish ' to establish itself by force . When it has obtained a majority , the Revolution will develop itself , and there will remain only the task of chastising the wretches who , by their sanguinary plots , have retarded social renovation . The

      day is not distant ; for Socialism progresses rapidly . On the 10 th of DocGmber we had only 400 , 000 votes . At the election of tho 13 th of May we mustered 2 , 900 , 000 voters of the deepest Red . 100 , 000 more sum-ages would have given us a majority . « Five departments voted exclusively for the Socialists . In all the manufacturing and central towns our lists obtained a striking majority . If the Legislature exhibits a factious majority of 500 Royalists , we may trace them from the rural districts influenced by tho tyranny of the great landowners , and kept by them in a systematic state of misery , ignorance , and brutisbness . President of the

      By the result of the election for Assembly it was immediately discovered that the forces of the two parties were thus divided : SiO votes fer the Royalists , 75 for the Republicans of the National , and 180 for the Mountain . In this situation , conciliation was impossible . On the very first day of the session , the Royalists gave way to such violence , that even Bugeaud , the man of tho Uue Transnonain , was obliged to remind the Moderates of moderation . Ledru Rollin was insulted at the tribune . All the propositions of the Left were systematically repelled . " We will yield nothing" exclaimed the Royalists . The amnesty was rejected without discussion ; and then the men in power , sure of impunity , decided on striking the

      Roman Republic a final blow . To mankind and history is Cavaignac responsible for the massacres of June , for the slaughter of three thousand prisoners . And you , Barrot , and _ you , Louis Buonaparte shall be called to account for all the blood shed under the walls of Home ; of that Republic coolly assassinated by another Republic You speculated on the massacre of our soldiers sent against a town formidably defended ; you sent a few regiments without artillery , relying on then- defeat , because you wished to induce " French honour to avenge a check prepared by your infamous calculations . Your general thought fit to accumulate mistake upon mistake , which cost the lives of thousands of Frenchmen

      . .. For this , anywhere else , the traitor Oudlnofc would have been tried by a court-martial . But you required a pretence for continuing your work of carnage . This work is , undoubtedly , consummated by this time . You have ihe curses of Europe ; and chastisement awaits you . , , . In the midst of political commotions , Socialism continues its overwhelming march . Throughout Franco the holy doctrines of fraternity ' and equality arc propagated with indefatigable zeal . During the last two months , more than six million copies of Socialist hlets have either been ' sold or .

      distripamp buted gratuitously . When brutal force suppressed the organs of the popular press the daily circulation of the democratic journals was as follows : —Lc Peuple nearly 70 , 000 copies , La RepuUiquc 45 , 000 , la Vrai RepvMiqiiC 20 , 000 , La Riforme 15 , 000 , Itf devolution and La Democratic Pacijique , each nearly 10 , 000 . What compared with this immense publicity were the 6 , 000 subscribers of the Vebats , the 20 . 000 of the iYcsse and the 20 , 000 of the Cmtitutionnel ? Every day tho number of worKing ro . tn ' 5 associations is increasing , and acauu-iag additional strength ,

      1 he people understand that no revolut . . n J" 11 bc of any benefit to thorn , that even imivem . suffrage will be only a bitter ¦ mockery , wis long as m » ls used up by nian . Thus did Louis Blanc , froL ^ tribune of the Luxembourg lay down the proi , of social revolution . ThauSs to the intelligence ol the people , . and . to the heroic efforts of the deJc . " gates of the Luxembourg who constituted them- , selves the untiring apostles of social doctrines , the work--of emancipation pi-cresses . The Parisian associations comprise already more than 0 , 000 worKmcii ireeu

      irom the tyranny of masters . One hun * ed and fifty associations belonging to fifty-five trades are now in operation . I will instance , among others , the tailors , the shoemakers , the hatters , the bakers , the barbers , the cooks , the button makers , the wine-shop-keepers , the saddlers , the coaehmakers , the joiners , the cabinet-makers , the locksmiths , the masons , the carpenters , the painters , the upholsterers , the tinmen , the washerwomen , the sempstresses , the shirt-makers , the staymakers , &c . ¦ ¦

      Several of these associations haveattained colossal proportions . The barbers and hair-dressers have , in 1 aris , thirty-seven branches , whose customers equal m number those 800 masters that Paris contains . In the town and suburbs , the cooks have twelve large establishments , many of which possess rooms capable of receiving 1 , 500 and 2 , 000 persons each . Here were held the great popular banquets of recent times . The value of these social establishments now amounts to several millions of francs , a capital formed entirely from the labour of the shareholders .

      , Bonds of strict fraternity exist between the different associations ; and they exchange their produce ; which plan suppresses the ruinous interference of the dealer who parasitically places himself between the producer and the consumer . This medium will be entirely destroyed when the associations are rich enough to establish and employ on their own account manufacturers of raw material , and to found agricultural colonies destined to regenerate agriculture . In all the large towns of France associations have been formed on the same principles as those in Pans . At Rouen , Nantes , Lille , Bordeaux , Limoges , Rheims , Lyons , and other places they are inactive operation ; and arrangements have been made for the exchange of produce between them and the Parisian . associations . The movement has spread into _ Belgium- ; and Brussels possesses several associations , such as shoemakers , compositors , upholsterers , marble-masons , tailors , &o .

      I can to-day only sketch an outline o £ this immense subject ; another time I will enter into details , if you think that the English Proletarians take an interest in hearing of the efforts that their brethren of Trance are making to prevent man being used up by man—a horrible system that has afflicted society for ages .

      to , and their own representations to make . They want Ireland for themselves , and not for the Irish . On yesterday I was speaking with one of those , and he made to me the humiliating declaration that he had a place , and therefore dare not speak but according to his instructions . One grand proposition I have just heard from the lips of an Irishman in this room to-day— ' At the next elections let the Irish elect a body of Englishmen of wealth as their representatives in Parliament , and they have some chance of justice to Ireland . ' The people of England do really feel for the Irish misery , and are willing to relieve it ; but one thins vexes thorn , and

      it is this constant cry of want from those districts to which relief has beezi sent . Those people expect some return from money bestowed in the shape of fruits from tke earth . Hence it is that my proposition of establishing a universal system of agricultural schools is fast gaming ground . Such establishments , I have reason to believe , will be ore long founded by tho government . " Destruction of a Ciiuiscn by Fire . —The Free Church in Great Clinrlcs-strcefc , in this city ( in connexion with the Established Church ) , was destroyed by fire last night . The cause , it is believed , was some accident occuring to the gas pipes . The walls alone remain .

      Tuk State Prisoners . —The Mountstuart Elphinstone has sailed for its destination from the Cove of Cork with the political prisoners , Martin and O'Dogherty , a fact which has caused some surpr ise , as it was supposed that all the state prisoners would be sent together . Hun Majesty ' s visit to Ireland . —The Dublin Evening Post says ;— " We have great pleasure in being enabled to assure the public that before many : weeks shall have passed , her Majesty and her illustrious consort will visit this metropolis , where we have no doubt a hearty Irish welcome awaits her . "

      LXFORCEMEXT OF PoOlt RATES I . \ ULSTER . —The Ncwry Telegraph contains the following : — "We lately stated that in the A ' owry Union persons were being summoned in fifties and sixties for non-payment of poor-rates . AVe have now to add that , ' tho plot thickens , the work goes bravely on , ' and fresh fifties and sixties are called up to petty sessions to pay what they are quito unable to pay . Happy summary mode of preparing , on a large wholesale scale , inmates for union workhouse ! The present

      state of things cannot last long . We both predict and require a change . " Check to Emigration . —According to a letter in the Evening l'ost tho approaching harvest is an effectual check to emigration , Landlords who consent to grant leases at reduced rents have no difficulty in finding tenants , even in districts where tracts of land had been neglected or abandoned last spring . Several proprietors , including Sir Compton Domville , Bart ., have made temporary reductions of their rents .

      Sale of Lauded PnorERtr . —For the present it it almost hopeless to look for bidders for property . The Earl of Courtoun has for a long time been desirous of concentrating his property in the county of Wexford , where his residence is , in order to acquire more political influence in the county . Ho has repeatedly offered his admirably circumstanced county of Kilkenny estates for sale , intending with the purchase money to buy the Mount Norm property in Wexford , adjoining his own , hut no purchaser will bid for his Kilkenny estates . It is quite a mistake to suppose that Lord Courtoun is an embarrassed peer ; hois one of the most independent proprietors in Ireland , and the sole reason of his anxiety to part with the Kilkenny property

      arises from the cause mentioned . Neither does a bidder appear for the Buckingham estates , though their titles arc clear . ; fur who will buy land when it appears that on the 2 oth of September next there will be a debt of half a million of money on thirtytwo poor-law unions , which would make a rate , as Sir James Graham calculates , of 25 s . in the pound . It is very muuh complained of hero by various parties , that this simple view of tho case is blinked by parliament , and that such stress is laid on tho importance of facilitating the sale of estates . But nothing could have been easier thau the conveyancing of the Courtoun estates consequent on a sale , if purchasers had come forward . In truth , bidders are wanted for Irish property , and where they are to come from is not shown . A . fewdays since , in the Bankruptcy Court , some wellcircumstanced property in the city of Cork was

      offered for sale in convenient lots , but no bidders appeared . —Daily Neivs . Mondat , July 2 . — Prospects of the Country . —The proceedings of the London corporation , in furtherance of tho suggestions of Sir Robert Peel , and of the objects of the Encumbered Estates Bill , are the theme of every Irish journal . With an exception or two , this movement is regarded by the press of all shades , as one of the deepest importance to the : future prosperity of Ireland , whilst it is calculated at once to produce good fi-uit in the way of example amongst British capitalists . There , are still very lamentable accounts of extreme distress in some southern and western districts , and there is little hope of alleviation until the harvest . However , if Providence bless the country with abundant crops , we may look with confidence , not only for present relief , but gradual

      recovery . . A Baronet is a Bridewell Guard ! — A Cork weekly journal , the Prwinca of MmsW , has tho following singular paragraph : — . " Sir Richard Moore , Bart ., the eldest son of the late Sir Emanuel Moore , has , we are informed , just been appointed ono of our city Bridewell guard by the High Sheriff . This is , indeed , a strange position for the representative of one of our oldest baronetcies to occupy . What makes it the more distressing is , that his poverty has not come of his own folly , but has been entailed on him by the indiscretion of others , "

      The Papal Fund . —The Right Rev . Dr . Keating , Roman Catholic Bishop of Ferns , has received a letter from the Pope , acknowledging the receipt of £ 902 , transmitted from that diocese . ; Harvest Piwsr-ECTS . » -Xone of the provincial journals received since Saturday make any allusion to the appoaranco of blight in . tho potato ; on the contrary , they , all represent the crop as . looking healthy / and . vigorous , with no indication of the disease either in the atom or covering . In the county of Korry , where a great breadth has been planted , new potatoes of an excellent quality are selling at Is . per stone . From all quarters the reports of the grain crops are , without a single excep-

Ljectmexts . —At the Cashel quarter-sessions now Sitting there wove 112 cases of ejectments entered , t of which were undefended , ' tho defendants appearing to be quite reckless of the issue . On Friday a decree was obtained by Mr . Mahony , of Ciish ^' . . tor £ 8 lbs . against Mr . Robert Keating

      , M . P . lv ° r the county of Watcrford , being the rent due for $ hOBse he used in Cashel while ¦ ¦ superintendent unde . v tfip Board of Works for carrying oat the Drainage Act . The hon . member enjoyed a salary of 7 s 63 . per die-m , and ; the rent was ' 7 s . n , week for 28 weeks . It was irhife cogaged in this employment that the electors or Waterford fixed their choice on-Mr . Koatinge as a suffciijle representative in the Repeal interest , to set asidethe claims of the son of one of tho best and mast indul gent landlords in Ireland .

      Tuesbay , July 3 . —Tiis Quesn ' s Visit ;— At a meeting of the corporation , yesterday , the' Town Clerk read a letter from the Lord ' . Lieutenant to- the Lord Mayor , enclosing a communication from' Sir George Grey , announcing that her Majesty will visit her Irish subjects as early in August as the termination of the present session of parliament will permit . The Homo Secretary ' s communication * stated that , in consequence of the distress prevailing in this country , her Majesty will not visit Dublin in state ; and that the Queen purposes to embark in the royal yacht , and to visit the Cove of Cork in the first instance—thence to proceed alon <» the Irish coast to Dublin , and , after remaining in this city for a few days , as the Lord Lieutenant ' s

      guest , to visit Belfast , and cross over from the north to Scotland . —Th ? town-council then proceeded to the election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year , and a most stormy discussion ensued on the question whether Alderman Kinahan , or Mr . John Reynolds , M . P ., should be chosen . The debate was vehement and personal . Alderman Hudson , the leader of the Tories , making a very bitter and taunting speech against Mr . Reynolds , mocking at the lion , member ' s sincerity , and imputing selfish motives to him . Mr . Reynolds was finally elected Lord Mayor , by a majority of thirty against thirteen . As the approaching visit of hoi- Majesty is not one of state , it is supposed that the present Lord Mayor of Dublin will not be made a baronet , but that knighthood will be tendered to him .

      Destitution in Ulster . —At the meeting of the Newry board of guardians , on Saturday , communications were read respecting the deplorable distress amongst the peasantry in an isolated district of the county of Armagh , called Jonesborough , which , however , is an exception to the gcneral . condition of that and other northern counties . The Neivry T < ilcgrai ? h says : — " Information has reached us , on unquestionable authority , that many poor people in the neighbourhood of Jonesborough arc trying to subsist on boiled nettles and a species of nuts called pig-nuts , poked from the ground , preferring doing this to surrendering their independence , and comin <* into the workhouse . Ifow are these people to pay a rate in aid ? They cannot do it : neither can thosn

      whom Providence has blessed with the means feel pleased at the idea that money is to be wrung from them for strangers when their neighbours are in such a deplorable state of want . " Tue Sultan . —Irish Distress . —During tho last year , the Sultan subscribed the munificent sum of £ 1 , 000 to the fund raised to alleviate the misery which pervaded the southern and western districts of this country . An address of thanks to tho Sultan was subsequently voted at a public meeting , at which the Earl of Charlomont presided . Mr . O'Brien , a native of this country , and holding an official situation at Constantinople , was selected for presenting the address to the Sultan . The following extract from a letter , dated Constantinople , June 5 ,

      to the Earl of Charlemont , contains the Sultan's answer . " Tho Sultan said , that he was greatly flattered by the terms in which the distinguished persons , from whom the address emanated , spoke of himself , and that he felt grateful for tho kindly feeling which they professed for the Turkish people . He said that he was deeply grieved when he heard of the distress which had fallen upon the poor people of Ireland—that had he only listened to the dictates of his own heart ho would have come to their assistance in a much more effectual mariner . He was sincerely happy , he said , to hear that tho sufferings of the Irish people were now at an end , and he hoped in God that henceforth they would be prosperous and contented . ' It was , moreover , my duty , '

      continued the sultan , ' to come to the relief of the poor people of Ireland , for they are the subjects of her Majesty Queen Victoria ; and the English nation , over which , I hope , her Majesty may long and happily rule , has always been the best and firmest ally of Turkey . ' His Majesty spoke with an accent of deep feeling , and with his eyes fixed upon me , as if ho wished me to remark attentively wlistf lie said , that I might afterwards repeat it to those who had entrusted me with tho address . " Patrick O'Brien . Murder in Tipperart . —Mr . Denis Egan , son of Michael Egan , Esq ., of Ballydonah , Donegal , near Dunkcrin , county Tippcrary , was shot on Sunday , the 1 st instant , by the hand of an assassin , while going to chapel . . Agriculture in Conkauoht , —The vast improvement in husbandry in the western provinces , to which I lately called attention , is thus described by the Ballinasloe Star : — " Travel through what part

      ot the country you may ( and we speak on the authority of a personal inspection of a large portion of tho Western Province ) , the gratifying conviction is forced upon you , that tho old system of farming is completely exploded—you no longer witness a field half corn and half weeds , as heretofore , but everything indicating the possession of an amount of agricultural skill which the most sanguine , three years since , would not have dared to hope seeing in operation in a quarter of a century , so firmly rooted to old habits did our farming classes then seem . For this gratifying—this most important change—the thanks of every well-wisher of liis country is duo to Lord Clarendon , who , in originating the practical instruction system , adopted the only efficient means of grappling with an evil which had no small share in . bringing Ireland to the miserable position through which she is at present struggling . " All this lnnlcs vfill for t ! n fntiiw . But in snnifi

      western districts the prospect of an abundant harvest and tho hopes of a revival of the potato , are inducing the landlords to prepare for a resumption of the old and ruinous system which has inflicted such frightful calamities upon the country . The following statement from tho Iloscommmi Messenger , is significant as to tho intentions of this class of proprietors , who n ill make desperate efforts to keep out of tho range of tho Encumbered Estates Act : — " Tho landlords , at least , so it would appear from their pz'csent conduct , are beginning to dream

      of a return to the old state-of things . One good harvest , they fondly imagine , will bring hack rackrents , conacre , and the thousand and one means by which they contrived to live at case on tho poor man ' s labour . Rents are boina ; enforced , ejectments are being brought , whole districts are being cleared , everything ' is being done , to enable the landlords to resume , in the coming year , their old position . In believing in the possibility of this , they arc mistaken , grossly mistaken ; tho old order of things has passed away , never to return . "

      Wednesday . —Chime ix Tipperary . —After a long interval of peace Tippcrary has again become the theatre of assassination , and those , other crimes for which its annals have obtained so infamous a notoriety ? The IfciiJigli papers which reached this morning contain a fearful catalogue of outrages , including tho particulars of Mr . Duniel Egan ' s murder , of the old stamp—manslaughter , firing at the person and into dwellings , threatening notices , &c .

      THE CHOLERA . Devonshire . —Saturday . —This pestilence is now prevailing in several of the villages in the neighbourhood ¦ of Plymouth . At Noss it has much abated its rigour , so that the deaths are not anything so frequent as they were a wieek since ; there have , however , been three deaths during the last three days . It is currently reported that the medical inspector sent down from the Board of Health in London has expressed himself in very strong terms as to the unhealthiness of the locality ef this village , and the total unfitriess of most of tho houses for human habitations ; and that had the intensity of the mortality not decreased the whole of the inhabitants wouid have--been received on board some vessels supplied by the government for that purpose , and the village- destroyed . Indeed ,

      the arrangements for this purpose went so far that two vessels were ordered to be taken out . from the Dovonport Harbour for this purpose . At Ycalmpton , a parish a few miles from Noss , and eight miles from Plymouth , a bad type of diarrhoea has been prevalent , and several deaths have been caused by it within the last fow days . At Colbrook , a hamlet in the parish of Plympton St . Mary , and about five miles from Plymouth , the cholera made its appearance on Thursday . At half-past eleven o ' olock on the morning of that day Mr . Slartin , a tenant to tho Earl of Morley , was attacked , and by eleven o ' clock tho sanio evening he was dead . Two of his farm servants were attacked the same evening , ani'i died on Friday morning . A Mrs . Parker , who resided in a cottage opposite Mr . Martin's farm-house , was attacked on Friday morning , and died the gawie day . Several other cases have occurred .

      BLACKFRiAits . —Some Burpriso and alarm has been occasioned by the sudden outbreak of cholera in this locality , particularly near Apothecaries ' -hall , A very slight inspection of the place will render it rather a mattor of wonder that it has so long escaped .

TIig drainage of this place is generally bad , and in some places notoriously imperfeet , and some of the residents are not very cleanly in their domiciles . Underneath and around this square runs a very important portion of ther sewage of London ,- and from some of these sewers'an addition to the

      volatile poisons necessarily engendered in suchYa place is made . In ? Water-lane alone' there are twenty-five ' gulley holes opening into a large sewer , about eighteen feet below the surface . These are uritrappod , ' and' the oxhnkvfiions from them ,- at all' times , unirliolcsoine , a > v& at times intolerable . These hofes'are dispossti in threes , and in-one spot there arc sitfwithin ftvry . irds . Water-laaeis about fourteen feet in width , but slightly widsi ' at each end , and the'houses on ejfclwr side arc se'high that the vapours irhich fill tfxrplncc have but little chance of being dispersed by wind . The addition : of heat or moisture 6 o- the various-poisonous basss- enclosed within this apaco would ! at once convert tfe ' em into active gaseous poisons-,- In this locality ten eases of cholera and nearly as many attacks * have occurred within the last few days .

Gray observed that the premonitory symptoms ought to bo promptly attended to . Verdict , " Natural death from Asiatic cholera . " A third inquest was taken at tho City of Canton , on the body of William Bless , aged G years , who was living with his parents near the Eel l ' yc House , and who died of Asiatic cholera on Friday last , after seventeen hours' illness . There was a want of drainage in the neighbourhood . ' ¦ - Two other similar inquests were held : one was on the body of Mr . John Miller , aged 27 , residing in Hunter-street , Hoxton ; and the other was on the body of William Marten , aged 10 years , who resided in East Smitlifield . In the last cases the decensod

      were healthy , and there was no complaint of bad drainage . Monday . —Death of a whole Family . —Before Mr . Carter , at the India Ilouse Tavern , Platform , Rotherhithe , touching the deaths of Henry Gibson , aged 33 , Maria Gibson , aged 37 , Sarah Gibson , aged 07 , and John Gibson , aged C 9 , who died from Asiatic cholera in Gillham ' s-court , Paradise-street , Rotherhithe . The evidence of one of the relatives proved that the deceased persons were in good health until Tuesday last , when the son , Henry , was seized with cramp , sickness , and diarrhoea . A surgeon was called , but the deceased gradually sank , and died on Wednesday last . The mother was attacked with similar symptoms tho same day and died on Thursday morning . The daughter , Maria ,

      was then taken ill on the latter pint ol the day , and expired on Friday . The father , John Gibson , was also afflicted with the same malady , and died late on Saturday evening last . —Mr . Henry Gardner , the summoning officer , stated that he had examined the house where tlie four deceased jtoisoiis hud uceu living , and ifc was perfectly clean and well ventilated . The drains were likewise in good order . Another son of the elder deceased man was then in tho workhouse labouring under the same disorder , and there were no hopes of saving his life . Tho deceased persons wore chiefly engaged on the river or the water side . —Mr . Til ley , surgeon , said the four deaths were the result of Asiatic cholera , notarising from any local cause , but from atmospheric influence . —Verdict in each case , " Died from Asiatic cholera .

In the first case the jury agreed to the subjoined verdict , " That the deceased ' died from Asiatic cholera , and that every attention was paid hy the nuthoritics , but the jury could not separate without calling the attention or tho commissioners to the bad state of the drainage of the district of Christ Church . " In the other three cases it appeared that the deceased had lately arrived from Ireland , and had taken up their quarters at a low lodging-house in lledcrosssquarc , Suuthwark . Verdict , " Died from Asiatic cholera . "

      Falmoutii , July 2 . —The ship Havering , Captain Fcnwick , which sailed from Deptford on the 21 st June , with a detachment . of tho 11 th Foot , under the command of Captain Pntisou , for Dublin , there to take in convicts for Kew South Wales , anchored Hi tho extreme part of the outer roads of this port yesterday afternoon , having borne up ti ' . e previous morning ' from thirty niilcs west of Scilly , the wind Oeing unfair for Dublin , in consequence of the existence of cholera on board . The first fatal ease was that of a sailor , on the 2 Cth , and subsequently five other deaths , including a soldier . Wiiuii tho ship anchored there were eight eases , six of whom wore declared bv ( lie medical officers on board to bo

      convalosccnt . The six alluded to above are continuing to improve , but the other two are . still dangerous . Every possible precaution is adopted on board to check * the spread of this malady , and the medical officers in charge hope the worst is over .

The reduction is relatively greater in civil hospitals than in tho town . In the course of Wednesday and Thursday the new eases admitted were only 22 , and the deaths 10 , while the number discharged cured was 112 . The hospices hi tlie total of admissions bear hut an insignificant proportion . At the Salpetviere the new cases duriug the two days AA'erc only two , announcing a total extinction of the disease in that establishment . The state of the military hospitals is even more favourable . AS tho Val-de-Srace there were only nice attacks ' nncl four deaths- ; at the lloule , three cases and no death at all ; at tho Gros Caillou there wi ' .
