      were present at the Theatre on Thursday evening , and not liking the position assigned them in the npper part of the house , they determined on a move , and commenced a most perilous descent by letting -themselves down into the lower boxes . Mr . Mllles missed his hold , and was precipitated headlong into the pit , a fall of about sixteen feet . The young gentleman ' s head was so severely injured that his life was at first despaired of . Lord Sondes immediately proceeded to "Windsor , where his Lordship has remained ever since , and we are glad to learn the last accounts were favourable .

      SPIBITiD AND TERY PROPER REPLY . —A curious inciuent occurred at Union Hall on Tuesday last , while arrangements were making for the purpose of getting Hnbbard out at the rear of the office . The Duke of Bronswick , who was present , probably with a view of facilitating Hubbard ' s exit from the of £ c- without molestation irom the crowd , said , "If I v . ^ e you , Hnbbard , I would cut off those whiskers , and that would disguise you sufficiently to er - .: e you to get away without risk . "

      Hubbard had : , conception at the time as to the rank ef the individual by whom be was addressed , and his reply was , seeing that the Pake wore large tnu-ttaehios , "If I were you I would cut off those black patche ? you wear upon your upper lip , and I think it would improve your beauty . " The Duke said , "But it is my fashion . " Hnbbard—" Well , if it Is yoar fashion to wear so maeh hair over your mouth , it is my fashion to wear the pair of whiskers you now see , and I shall not cut them off , for I have done nothing of a criminal nature that should make

      me attempt to disguise myself . " Accident on Board a Steam-boat . As the City of Canterbury was coming np from Herne Bay , yesterday , with upwards of 140 passengers , when near the Nore , theforce of the steam drove out the plug of the boiler , and in an instant the deck , of the vessel and passengers were enveloped in steam . The captain immediately ran the vessel on the sand opposite Sheerness , and put up signals of distress , and the Ducliess of Kent came along-side to receive the passengers , but upon

      the engineer examining the vessel he succeeded in sjt-tting in the plug , which he-did at much personal rwk , and with great coolness and credit to himself The calm and seaman-like conduct of Captain Large succeeded in allaying the fears of the passengers , who were for a short timeJn a most dreadful state of alarm . The vessel was detained about an hour , when she got off and resumed her passage , landing her y ± ssengers soon after ber usual time at London-bridge wharf . The engineer was scalded in the arm , but no accident occurred beyond this .

      Fatal Effects of Fright . — -La * t week , a youth of tender years , 3 iri . g in Heaton Norris , died from the effects of nervous excitement occasioned by fright . It appeared that about three weeks or a fortnight ago , he went to a show on Waterloo-road , whereat tie " Bottle Imp " was amongst the entertainment * published for that evening . The appearance of the Bottle Imp , who is represented to be a demon surrounded by fire , had such an effect on his mind , that on quitting the booth he fancied that the Pr ince of Darkness was with him , whether be looted before him or in bis rear , or to the right or the the left—there be was also . The boy , however , took to his ieels , pursued , as he imagined , by

      the " Bottle Imp , " and meeting with a watchman in the Hillgate , screamed in a most pitiable manner , be * eechiup tbe officer to relieve him of his tormentor . In -rain did the watchman endeavour to dissuade him that his fears were the result of imagination only , still the boy continued to scream , and point out the aerial presence of the devil . In this condition he was carried home , ever and anon resuming his plaintive situation ; and from this state he never recovered , for tbongh . professional assistance -jras calleddn , the poor infatuated youth died from the effects of the fright . His mother was a widow with a large family , towards whose subsistence the poor boy contributed greatly . —Stuckport Advertizer .

      Gloves for one Haxd . A contraband speculator bought some time ago in Paris , 10 , 0001 wortli of gloves for tee English market . It is known that in the English Custom-house certain goods are taxed according to the value sworn to by the owners , and that to prevent fraud the Custom-house sometime ? takes possession of goods at the price so determined . In this case the speculator , having stated tie value of the glove .- at 5 , 000 f ., the amount was ~ paid to him and the gloves retained . The speculator , determined to have his revenge , procured an accomplice on his return to Paris , and purchased 40 , 000 / . -sForrb of g ] orcs . Thefe were adjusted and made -op into two packets , "with "which the two friends started , the one to Dover and the other to Bristol . At Dover the packet was opened , aad the owner stated the value of the gloves at 15 , 000 f .,

      which was immediately paid to him , and the gloves retained . The same occurred at Bristol . The speculator at Dover , started for Bristol , and met his friend half-way on his road to Dover , and each of them with 15 , 000 f . in his pocket , waited patiently at bis post "till tbe day of the Custom-house sale . At the sale the gloves were exposed , when our speculator at Bristol , bidjing among other people , observed , after pretending to examine them minutely , that they were all for the le ! t hand . ' and so in fact they turned out to be ; purchasers , of course , could not be found , and he bought the -whole Jot for 6 , 000 £ . The sme thing rock place at Dover with , the right hand gloves ; and the friends procfefeded to London , where it is presumed , the gloves were a third time profitably disposed of . —Courrier Francois .

      MELANCHOLY CASE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION by a Yocxg Lady . —On Friday an inquest was held at the Seacombe Hotel , " before Faithful Tboma ? , Esq ., one of the eorcners of the county ol Chester , and a respectable jury , of which Mr . John Bali was foreman , on the body of a yonn . < r ladv of but 19 year ? of age , who committed self-c .-struction on Thursday , by talcing an ounce and a half ol arsenic . The many melancholy circumstances attending the death of the lady in question gave the ease a painful interest . " We understand that , though but 19 years of age , she has been , in effect , for

      some twelve months , a widow in ber husband ' s lifetime . Her parent ? , whose name is Amphlett , reside at Broom , near Siourbridire , in the county of Stafford , where the deceased , a young lady of great personal attractions , at the age of seventeen , contracted an innmst-y with a gentleman ( of the bar we nudersta-co' ) of the name of Smyth , which ended in an union . But the day dreams of happiness which then beguiled this youthful maiden proved evanescent , and after a very brief periodsome six months—a separation took place between her and her husbsnd . But the best and holiest

      feelings of her young heart bad been too devotedly engaged—her ill-fated marriage was an event which had too fatally entwined itself with her sources of happiness—to permit unscathed , buoyant as are the « p'irits of maiden youthfulness , this severing first of Leans and then of p ersons , on whose union , in her innoctnee , see had vainly calculated that her cup of felicity would be ever overflowing and ever full . The shock was great , and from that moment she has eEQured fixed , immo-reable , nnmiri ^ ated unha ppiTit ?? . Change of .-eene was sought by her atixicus ¦ parent ? , and they paid a visit to Seacombe ; from thciice they pTocetded on a tour through Wales , and about three weeks ago thev spent seven or

      eight days at Carnarvon , where the deceased , it appears , purchased the poison -with which she deprived herself of existence . " Llanberris , Ahergde , Rhyi , Parkgate , and some other places , were respect ively visited on their return , and on Sunday last they again arrived at the Sescombe Hotel , in their family travelling carriage . On Thursday the deceased accompanied her father and mother and uncle to Liverpool ; but she returned Before her parents , as she complaintd sbe was weary of ghoppng . She ictired to btr chamber , and when there , it appears she toot the poison , and changed her shoe * for slipp ers , and divesting herstlf ef her veil , scarf , acd brooch , s » ht returned to the packet

      station on the Cheshire shore , and mixed herself among the passengers on board the "Alice of Seacombe " ¦ Steamer ^ and what is somewhat unusual with ladies , she waited forward , and for a time stood . near the fore gangway , evidently in mental anguish . Here ahe . remained but for a brief period , foT after thowing her bonnet upon deck , she sprang overboard The cry of " a person overboard" soon brought the captain and the hands oh board the vessel , to her assistance ; a boat was immediately launched , and another boat put off from ^ The Liverpool" steamer , in which sbe was p icked up and conveyed ashore , and then back to the hotel , where sbe expired in about two hours . Verdict "Died from the effect of poison taken during a fit of temporary insanity . ''

      AtiBifPTSD Assassination of two Noncommissioned Officers of the 12 th Lan-CEBS , at Hampton-court . ——Since Thursday evening , great excitement has existed at Hamptoncourt , and the neighbourhood , in consequence of a desperate attempt at assassination by a private of die 12 th Royal Lancers , two troops of which regiment hare for " some time been quartered at the barracks-within the precincts of the palace . It appears , that John ^ Kitchie , the individual fn ^ question , has for some time been in the regiment , and up to the period of this transaction has borne a good character for sobriety and deeorunu Oh Thursday ,: however , which was the grand day of the Hampton raceshe

      , was observed to be drinking very hard , and to commit -rarious acts of insubordinatiba , wiych induced the military authorities to order him to be placed under arrest . On his being made acquainted with their intentions , he , however , declared he would « ubmit to no controul , and immediately retired to his apartment in the barracks , which he barricaded from within . About seven o ' clock in the evening Sergeants James Hamilton and Taylor , proceeded to his apartment for the purpose of taking him into custody , but were refused admittance . Shortly afterwards , however , he opened the door , and appeared in the passage with a loaded pistol in each hand , which ; advancing , he presented at Sergeants

      Hamilton and Taylor , and before he could be pre ^ vented be pnlled the trigger of both . That presented at Sergeant Taylor , fortunately flashed in tW pan , but the other , we regret to state , was discharged , the ball entering the body of Sergeant Hamilton , jugt above the navel , and passing out at the back , struck a private of the name of Wilsoa , who was standing behind the unfortunate man , in the hip . Ritchie attempted to effect his escape , but he was promptly secured and conveyed to the guard-room , where he Temaina under a strong guard . Sergeant Hamilton was instantly conveyed to his apartment , where he was soon afterwards attended by Mr . Turner , one of the surgeons of the regimen * , who , on examining the wound , pronounced it to be fatal . Artists' G-enbral Benevolent Instittj .

      tion . —On Saturday evening the anniversary dinner of this institution took place at the Freemasons ' Tavern . The society was founded in 1814 , and as there is another society with a title somewhat similar already in existence , it is right distinctly to state that the object of the Artists' General Benevolent Institution is to extend relief to all distressed meritorious artists , whether subscribers to its funds or not , 11 vrhese works are known and esteemed by the public , as well as to their widows and orphans , " merit and distress constituting the claims to its benevolence . Since the foundation of the society 566 cases have been relieved by sums amounting to £ 5 , 204 . Sir T . D . Acland was in the chair , and performed the duties of his situation in a manner

      which gave universal satisfaction , and greatly promoted the interest of the charity and the festivity of the evening . The announcement made by the hqn . Baronet that Her Majesty had voluntarily signified her intention to be the patroness of the society was received with loud applause . The amount of subscriptions collected in the course of the evening was £ 444 , among which were £ 10 from the Duke of Sutherland , £ 5 from Lord Francis Egerton , 10 guineas from Lord Northwick , £ 10 . from the Duke of Norfolk , £ 50 from the Marquis of Westminster , £ 10 from Sir T . D . Acland , £ 5 from Mr . Acland , M . P ., £ 200 by bequest from Loid Farnborough , 5 guineas from Sir M . A . Shee , £ 5 from Mr . Phillips , R . A ., 10 guineas from Sir J .

      Brutal Murder and Robbery near Manchester . — "We regret to state the neighbourhood of Manchester has been disgraced by one of the most brutal and cowardly deeds that it has ever been our lot to record . The victim is a married woman , named Mary Moore , aged , 45 years , the wife of Joseph Moore , a bricksetter , who lives in a lane adjoining the road leading from Hulme and Moss Side to Withington , and not only was her life taken in the midst of the day , but she was robbed of all the available property that she had upon her person . The general circumstances are as follows VThe unfortunate woman , was a servant to Mj 3 . Chorlton , an extensive fanner , from whose house and that of Mr . Wood , another farmer , she lived at a short distance . Part of her duty was , on market

      days , to take charge of the farm produce , and dispose of it in Manchester , and her integrity in this respect is universally acknowledged . It appears that on the morning of Tuesday last , she had to dispose of pome fruit and vegetables in Smithfield market , and she received them there , as Usual , from a lad fourteen years old named Thomas Hooley , who brought them from Mw . " Charlton ' s in a cart . About eleven o'clock , having disposed of what sbe bad , she delivered to Hof > ley the empty baskets , and told him that she had to call at Brooke-street , Oxford-road , at the end of which she directed him to wait for her , and she would ride home in the cart . Hooley on arriving there , waited for some time , but Mrs . Moore not making her appearance he proceeded without her , and arrived at Mrs . Charlton ' s about two ' clock . It seems . that the deceased must have

      been but a few minutes after Hooley , and that finding that he bad gone she walked alone . Mrs . Charlton ' 3 house is in a lane to the left of Mos * -side road , and it is conjectured that just before turning the corner the unfortunate woman was struck from behind with a stick or some other heavy weapon one hiow from which , deprived her of sensation , and a second of life . After being , killed , her murderers opened a gate , dragged her in the field opposite Mrs . Cbarlton ' s lane , head foremost , through the meadowgrass , for 130 or 150 yards , till they came to a pit , which is separated from th . e me < idow by a tolerably high ftnee ; and what Is very remaikable , tbis particular spot can be seen from the deceased ' s

      own bouse , from Mrs . Charlton ' s , and from Mr . Wood ' s . Over this fence the body was thrown , and it fell face underneath , into the ditcb , in such a manner , that the back and surface of the water » ere level . In this position , it appears from the evidence given on the inquest , the corpse was found on Wednesday night . Before throwing her over , the ruffians robbed the -unfortunate woman of a sum , it is supposed of £ 3 5-., her umbrella , a reticule , and a can . She had 9 s lid . of her own money in a secret pocket , which they did not find . The police have three young men in custody , on suspicion of having been the perpetrators of this atrocious murder , and tbev are on the qui-vivc for a fourth , who has

      alirconded . The . names of the prisoners aie Charles Leach , and two brothers named Joseph and Thomas NYilson . The man who has disappeared is a brother of thg Wilsons . An inquest was held on Friday . Several witnesses were examined , and an adjournment took place till Tuesday . From the evidence little was elicited likely to throw a light on the mystery - attending the poor woman ' s murder j but circumstances have come to the knowledge of the police , which it is hoped may yet give a clue to the murderers . Yesterday afternoon , Mr . Alccck , deputy constable of Hulme , and police-officer Lipsr tt , were informed that on Tuesday aiternoon a man , about 23 years of age , of swarthy complexion , and dressed in fustian clothes , was seen i n some ¦ fields near the . White House , Stretford new road

      spparently looking about the hedge bank , as though in search of something hid there . Hp left in consequence of persons approaching , him , but was seen there again early on the following morning , and parsons who suspected something was wrong- went to aslc him what he was looking for . He refused to tell them , and went away ; . but the curiosity of the parties being excited , they remained , searched in the bottom of the hedge , and found in a piece of plaid muslin a piece of brown paper , containing about £ 3 in silver . Instead of making the circumstances known to the police then , however , they spent the money , but having preserved the piece- of muslin , which , if it has been the deceased ' s , will , probably be identified by her . friends , and be the means yet of discover ing the murderer . The man is said to have hid a reticule in hia hand .

      Floggisg s . — -There have been several floggings recently in the Twentieth Foot , stationed in the Tower , in consequence of repeated acte of insubordi-. nation among the men , a great number of whom are mere striplings , beardless youths , supplied from the various depots to make up for the losses sustained by the regiment while in foreign service , Desertion and absence without leave , have been frequent . One , on being asked his reason for absenting himself , said he had beea to see his father and mother , whom he did not like to be away from long ; and another said he had been home to feed his rabbits . During the past fortnight , some were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment , varying from twenty to sixty days , with hard labour , and some to solitary confinement . Amongst them were two sergeants , who , 'in addition , were reduced to' the rank of ^ udvates . — Globe .

The parade is most beantifully decorated with a splendid ^ proscenium , 78 feet iaheightby 200 inlehgth , the centre df which is entirely open , to allow ^ the public a distinct and uninterrupted view . "' . of ¦; thei process of inflation . In another part , bf the premises the proprietors have constructed ; a ^ range of ne > v ; gas works of tuch extent as ¦ " ¦ . will supply the whole of the eas reauisite for

      the balloon . It may also be mentioned that among other advantages / to " be derived froin the above iraprorementsi are thp foliovring . —The balloon being under shelter Is protected from the violence of the weather during the inflation , and the public are enabled tq witness the process as well as to examine the whole of the apparatus , the ; machine remaining in a perfectly tranquil state , and not rolling about from the sudden gusts of wind in such a manner as to . forbid the approach even of the most courag « ou 8 inquirer . Oh the occasion of any private or scientihe ascents being : made , the balloon can be kept inflated and provided until the time of ascending arrives , ; and then , should the weather prove unfavourable , it can be taken back into the hall , th *

      gas retained , and wait in readiDess for a propitious day . The doors were thrown open at four , aad at six o'clock there were about six thousand persons assembled , including a number of the most distinguished of the haui tori , who were doubtless attracted on this occasion b y the propitious state of the weather , and the variety of tlie amusements announced . At seven o ' elpcV , after the arrangements of the numerous preliminaries , Mr . Green stepped into the car , accompanied by four aspirants for aeronautic fame , viz ., Messrs . W . Hughes , Spencer , AVight , and Boyd , and shortly after pulled the liberating iron , when the ponderous machine majestically arose into the regions above , taking a north-westerly direction .

      The result of the above statement is , that only four measures involving impprtarit discussions , the Ciril List , tlie Duchess of Kent ' s Annuity , Capada Government , a «< l the Slaverv Aboliripn Act Amfendment Bills , had been carried through Parliamantby the Government at the time of fixing the coronation . There are , however , two bills- —the Irish Poor Relief and the Benefices Plurality—now in the Lords , but sent up hiiice thiit time— -measures must be admitted of great importance , the first in redemption of a promise which ought to have . been performed in 1836 , and the . othrr . a remanct of the same yea' , passed by the Lords , but stopped in the Commons ill consequence of the ready obedience paid by Lord Jobzi Ru .--sell to Ihejtat of ^^ Joseph Hume .

      ADMIRABLE WORKING OF THE NEW PO ^ RLAW . HARTISMERE UNION , SUFFOLK . Of this Union , formed on ' . he 1 st of September , 1835 , Dr . Kay « is assi * tant-commi : sioner , and the Rev . Sir Augustus Henniker , Barf ., chairman . The U uion Workhouse at Eye and the gaol of that borough are under the same roof , the keys of the prison being in the hands of the policeman , and the governor and gaoler are the same pers n . Fora lougperiod subsequent to the union , prisoners have b « eu confined and attended upon ; by the governor , porter , and ser * 'ants of the union , as is proved by the case of Harriet Rose , who is still in the house . This pauper , a single woman , and about 35 years of age , relused to perform some work , which would have obliged her to consign to anotlier pauper a sickly iniant which she was then nursing , and was in

      consequence of that reiusal , punished by spiitary imprisonment , with her infant ^ for a week , in the depth of winter , and without tire or caudle . The breakfast for men , women , and children , consists of bread ami gruel ; and this is , or was in 1837 , the Hartismere gruel recipe for ^^ 97 breakfasts : —To a pint and a half of groats add two or three handiulsof salt ; throw these ingredients into as much water as will give a pint and a halt to each man and woman and one pint to each child , under 16 , and an economical beverage is produced . For dinner on three days , and supper every evening , is given to each man and woman an ounce of "fleet cheesp , " worth it is said , about twopence per pound , with bread .

      The cravings of hunger have been known so to overcome a man named Thrown r , when an inmate , as to have induced him not enly to eat potatoe peeling from the _ gutter , but to lift tip the fall-door of the cistern into which they had been carried , and transfer them from among all manner of filthinto his own stomach . Henry Albridge , a pauper , being diseased with the evil , was in the habit of applying a bran poultice to his foot every evening . Ou the occasion referred to , however , the poultice had remained a day and a uight , two sores having all the while being discharging matter into the poultice . It was between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon ( some men standing about him ) , when , having dressed the wound , he cast

      the poultice upon the tire . After it had become warm , a man of tlwmvmu of RobcTtGo , vTatt . « natchBd it from the tire and devoured it with avidity , and when he was lately asked why he had descended to the level of a beast , he said he washungry . A boy named Cjjuiutin , between eleven and twelve years of age , having watched the mouse-trap set in the men ' s attics , secured a mouse from it , and skinned , roasted , and ate it in the men ' s sitting room , and in their presence . The Governor says he considered it a lark . The boy says he Was hungrj ' . The opiuion given of this dietary by those who have practically experienced its effects is , that the allowances are uot half enough , aud not sufficient to support nature . That " after dinner men feel

      more hungry than before ; that the Ipswich gaol allowance ot 2 rioz . of bread per day , and 14 oz . ot best cheese per week , is preferable to that of the Workhouse , which is ) 8 oz . of bread per day , lOoz . of meat , and lOoz . of fleet cheese per week ; that the Workhouse cheese is not worth naif of the same quantity given at the prison , arid not no good ias can be purchased in Palgirave parish , at 2 d . per pound . That .- children , after a lortuight's residence , are unable to take the gruel , and that few constitutions can bear the dietary . Therein no surgeon V book from which to ascertain the amount of mortality ; and the complaints of which the paupers have die :, but an accouiit kept by the Governor makes it appear , that between September 1 , 1835 , and May 9 , 1838 , there occurred 33 aeaths—24 of children undei 13 ; 5 of piupfers above 60 ; 4 Ot" paupers between 13 and GO . And , if this be correct , it is remarkabie that as many as nine of that number should have

      died within seven ' weeks of the 18 th of April , 1837 , as appear from the statement given by an inmate during that period , as follows " . —" While I was in the house , ( seven weeks ) there were nine deathsone an old woman , and eight children ..-. 1 think four of them were brought down by thn badgriiel , which seemed to putrify their insides . One of the four uied of the measles ; aaother was taken one day with hoarseness and a cough , and died in tue evening of next day , without the surgeon haviug s ' oen him , for he was from home when sent lor . Due died from a hurt , arid he was three-quarters of a year in an ailing condition , as 1 was told , and died the bigg ' st object 1 ever saw , his bones pricking through before his death . I tidtik he was going four years old , aud was a chance child . Tlie last was a Doy of the name of Thpmtou ; he died from want as \ believe , fpr when he came in he ^ 'as a fine , lovely child , and he pined by degrees , ancl diVdin about six or seven weeks . "

      45 women and children , of all ages , ( states tlve same informant , ) slept iu one room , and the stench was enough to putrify a healthy person . There was not an hour in the- ' night but a woman or a child was upon tlie chair . Lice Were prevalent , and we hear of stockings being worn for six weeks , and govvn ^ for months together ; of three ctUdreu being received into the house , aud not afforded any change : of linen or clothes for 17 days , and their mother no ptherchange thau a gown in-which to app « ar before the board . Two instances in proof of this negligence will suffice . When the stockings of Charles Crackling , which had been worn for six weeks , were taken off , they swarjned with lice ; and the flannel worn round the neck of ! 5 arah Page was found to be covered with the same description of vermin .

      For disobedience to the porter ' s orders a msfti naxned Perry was in .- the early part of 1837 handcuiled by the governor , and made to sleep or remain iu bed all night in manacle . * . A young woman iiamed Elizabeth Booty , between fifteen and sixteen yejw of age , though pleading illness as her excuse for not having performed , hev task at lace weaving , received two strokes on the head from the governor ' s hand and fist , and afterwards ti cut across the shoulders from his caue , and faintiuj in consequeHce j W'as carried ap stairs to bed . The poor girl , as the informant has beard ; within two months afterwards died of a decline . Two men , aged seventy-seven and seventy-six , work all day in the oakum-room , and two little boys

      have been separated from their companions Jat Wortham ( where the elder , boys and girls ol the uuion are now domiciled , and where they are allowed to take a run on the common , ) and cooped up within the walls of this workhouse , because at the former they were too near their tnends . . This catalogue of horrors may be aptly broTight to a close by offering congratulations to the Kev . chairman on the comp liment paid him on luesday , the 2 i » th of May last , when his eminent semews were acknowledged and slightly recommended by the presentation of a piece of plate . . . , ; . . - ' . ;¦ -. ¦¦ .. this statement

      DANIEL O'CONNELL , THE WHIGS , AND THE PEOPLE . The enrtain is about to fall at the close of the Whig farce , which , with a short interlude c ^ Tory presuniption and experiment , has been acted for the laat six years ; and , if from what has been done ire may judge of what is likely to be accQi » pli 8 hed , we quite agree with the Sim , that if our rulerg ire wearied with attention to their duties , w ^ are no teas wearied with their performanees , arid our pleasure at parting will be mutual . We should greatly

      prefer that our parting salutation , instead of aiirevoir Bhould he fare welt and for ever . Afte ? the passing of the Reform Bill , the London jottrnais , one and all , pointed out to any Ministry yrWch might attempt to hold the reing of Goyerriment j daring the tempestuous season ^ which so great a change waa certain to produce , the necessity , the ' paramount necessity , of trying some means different front any which had been previously adopted for the management of Ireland . Even the Tory jJress ( the measure having passed ) was loud in its demand for

      justice ; while the Whigs , having diacovertd that religious distinctions were the cause of every Irish . malady , whether social or political , proclaimed their determination t » lay the axe to the root of the evil . The Whigs , we doubt not , were sincere in their intentions , but the power of Mr . O'CoNJiEtL depending wholly upon the degradation of thelrish Catholics , and the power of the Whigs depending wholly iipon the support of Mr . O'CoNNEtt , it was impossible to do substantial justice to Ireland , and yet preserve the popularity , which lived upon disorder . We admit

      that some trifling experiments were made ; but O'Connell being a prophet , with complete power of fulfilling his own predictions , na mattier hoir extravagant , acquiesced in experiments for the trial ' s ^ ake , but always foretold a failure and discontent ; which he invariably succeeded in creating . Not one single principle which was placed before tie Irish p eople in 1 B 32 , and by which seats in Parlidment were procured , novr finds a place ia Mr . O'Connell ' s political catalogue . Not a grievance then complained of , now excites his wrath , or swells

      his indignation ; all has been sunk in the base ,, traitorous design of silencing , by the wages of corruption , those who , if unprovided for , would be turned into accusers , and of pensioning his friends and his family upon the country . JDurhig the Vice-Regency of Lords VTellesley and Haddington , the general ferment was sufficiently kept up - by ; the protected ascendancy of the Grange faction ; while during the administration , of Lord MutGRAYE , the triumphs of thei popular party have coHsisted in the formation of a middle class ascendency . Popular discontent has beea smothered in the anticipations entertained from the

      rule of new local authorities , who require but the fiat oi law and the sanction of custom , to ^ change places with , and be as great tyrants as , those rulers against wbose dominion the people have so long contended . After so great a change as that promised by the Reform Bill , surely the first six years should have produced some of the promised benefits ; but , on the contrary , we find , that after the first flash in the pan of opposition to the Coercion Bill and the Repeal of the Union , each session has brought with it an increased surrender upon the part of the people , increased turpitude upon the part of their leaders , and increased tyranny upon the part of their rulers . When nations declare that the

      existence of an Administration depends upon an individual ' s-breath , we must naturally conclude that the individual is the organ of a party more powerful than that which the Government represents , and we must imagine his views and opinions to be in unison with those of the majority of the " people . His station we must suppose to be sustained by his support of liberal measures , and by his opposition to tbe usurpation of a party . We have , however , but to take a brief review of the last session , and we find Daniel O'Connell either directly

      sanctioning , or hypocritically abstaining , from denouncing the most flagitious acts of a most corrupt administration . Had O'CoNNEii . raised his voice in favour of justice to Canada , Canada , would have had justice . Had he , who professes to hate the shedding of blood , interceded for the murdered patriots , their lives would have been spared . Had the support of the . working classes been still necessary for the preservation oif O'CoirnelL ' S power , the Glasgow Patriots , would now have been a comfort to their disconsolate families . Had'O'Connell not lived upon Irish poverty , the

      poor of Ireland would have had a resting pla . ee and a home . ( If the Governnient system of Poor Lawa was bad , why did not he , from great experience , not intrcduce a better ?) If O'Connell had been a Christian , instead of a political Catholic . , the foul brand of the Law Church Ascendancy , w ; ould long since have been removed from the forehead of the brave Irish Roman Catholic . Had O'Cont ^ eli . not been the tool of the moneymongersj the white infant slave would have been protected from the tyrant ' s lust . Had Mr . O'Conkell not dreaded the united virtue

      of a fully represented community , each mas , vrovild ere now havebeen the part nominator of his . ; representative ; and hadvO'GoNNELL not been a ^ traitor , Ireland would now have been a land of freedom , peace , aad contentment . ^ To the ignoianc , e , the vanity , and the lewdness of Lord Melbouknethe poverty , the love of anyhow-distinction of Lord John Russell ; the determinationtp . uphpld political station of the petty officers of Gpvernraent , and the power which religious inequality in Ireland , has given to Mr . O'Coknell ^ we attribute the great popular discontent , which nothing short of a just representation of the people eyer can

      allay . To have attacked any particular measure of the Whigs , duripg the Session of Parliament and in a weekly paper , would have been mere waste of tin . tj , and , therefore , ws deferred a revision of their general policy until the close of the Session , which thank Providence is now at hand . Daring the recess We shall prove to the English people , that the necessity for a bad state of society in Ireland , in order to uphpld O'Connell , that he may support the Whigs , has been the whole cause , not only of Irish , but of Imperial misery and . complaint . We shall continue our examination of Mr . ^ 'CpJTneijL's acts , from the period at -which v » e left him

      in our last series of letters , and shall shovr . by reference to them , that every prediction ,, which we therein hazarded , has been verified to the . letter . With the pageant which has taken place , and the slight damp which the , imposirig novelty may throw upon " agitation , - " we have nothing to do ; boi- do we hazartl any opinion as to the new character , which Mr . O'Connell may perform in the farce . In opposition ^ however , to the general assertion , we do not think that he will sacrifice his indjrect mode of serving hinwelf and his friends , for the

      contemplated honours which- some of our contemporaries have in store fof him . Each Session of Parliament should be preceded by a declaration of ike amount of projection which the people are in receive for the amount of taxes which they are called upon , to pay . Each reign should 'be preceded by a declaratipn of those principles , to vrhich the people are ^ reQ . uired to swear allegiance , arid each rep close his Sessional account with " his cpnstituents , by tendering himself in the . Market-placey fpr ^ a perr spnal examination by those whose servant hie ought ' to-be . " : ' . " - ' ¦ '¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ ' "" ' ' - ' . ¦ " : " •¦¦ ¦¦" - "
