      IRISH ABSENTEEISM . Let parsons descant on the joys of eternity , Misers find pleasure in viewing their store ; And Socialist * talk of their blessed community Ramblers waader to some foreiga shore—Nothing shall hurry me , V « ac me or worry me , Working for bread as I haTe done before ; I will liTa and ba happy , And laagh at the sappy , Who dare not a Tote claim because he is poor .

      Many mea praise the Italian scenery , Others must go to Vienna or Borne , To Holland or Paris , to show off their finery , Leavinj their tenantry starring ai home—To see things so funny , And spend all their money , While commerce is sinking fast into the tomb Of things that has been , It will shortly be seen , Whether Iriahaen tamelv -will welcome tieir doom

      Has not Erin ' s green meadows , her gardens , and wo » ds , Sufficient attractions for freemen to prize , Or is there no charms in her mountains and floods , To constitute beauty in Irishmen ' s eyes . Oh , who will direct us , Support , and protect us , Tnlesj we ourselves take the helm in our hand , Axd the Suffrage demand For each ons in the land , Xtetermined no more to wear slavery ' s brand .

      Irishmen ! Ireland !! awake from your slumbers , Must liberty still be confined w a cls * 3 ? What utility is there in boasting of numbers , As long as you ' re shackled by fetters of brass . Then off with the chains That on yen remaiss ; Let your voices be heard in one long loud hurrah While demanding the Tote , As yc-ar green banners float ! Cry success to the Stiffrare , and Erin go br * gh .

      THE FLEET PAPERS . By Richard Oastles . >* o . XL . We love to tee native kindness and benevolence breaking out through the cloud of a good man ' s prejudices and party preferences . This is precisely the difference between Jhe patriot and the political partisan ; and hence we haTe unmitigated pleasure hi observing that , in his " Fleet Papers , " Mr . Oastler hesitates not to tell troth equally as boldly to the Totie 3 as to their predecessors . In his present number we find the following : —

      " I am also asked , ' If I approve of the delay , which his been proposed by Sir Robert Peel , for fiva cr six months , before the state of the nation is to be considered ? ' Tniesitatingiy I answer , ' No . ' Delays are always dangerous—de ! ay , under our present circainstaccee , vill be rnicoua . T £ e inconsistency of Sir Robert Peel's first proclaiming 'he Estional affairs to be ia a most rainoas condition , and then demanding the immediate expulsion of those who tad mismanaged thesa , and his own call to office , before he would propose a remedy ; and now , when in office , refusing to attempt any restoration o . the national health until he has received two quarters' p ^ y , as his prescribing fee , can meet with no defence frcra me . It may , or may not . be considered good diplomatic generalship , by mere partisans ; that is a qnfcricn to be settled between the two parties , and , as parties , I shall not inteiiere with t ^ em . Sir Robert ~ ai justified in keeping silence whiie ihs Whigs retained < See ; since then his silence appears to nse to be indefensible .

      I orject to any ilehy , becan 3 e I know that the country cannot sifdv -wait . Ta&ie are not ordinary tiaes ; Gre 3 t Britain has , it this epoch , reached Ler riost perilous 6 lj of tris ! : she has been driven about by the whirlwind of faction—Bbfe has almost lost her reckoning ; wives and billows , and rocks and sands , rtill beset her course ; she has cbanged her captain , not to slumber awhile in this raging storm , but Eteadiiy to direct her truck towzxes the haven from which the billows of party strife Mid false philosophy have driven her . If Sir Robert Prel has no meliorative- and restorative principle to propose , I think that he would have shevrn his wisdom by refusing oS * e . Tiue , he has for the Ecn-cst exalted himself and his party , but wha . ; c ^ a tie nation g ^ lc , if the ruiruU 3 course of Whig le-gisliticn is to cot : irue another si * months . '

" " Thia last ' proof of affection has almost unmanned me . I am thankful—I am gratefnl to thote , my frienila , of the working classes . And why ? Ah , Sir , the reasons why I am thankful to them press so numerously and so tonckingly , that I cannot speak them . To eon * template , that midst all their own unmerited and unprecedented sufferings and priTittoni , they still think most of what they fancy are mine , makes my heart matt , its feelings force lay eyes to orerflow ; my lips cannot utter what I feel , my pen cannot write what 1 think .

      Jfy privations axe not like theirs—I have no Bufferingi t This place , to me , if more like Heaves than & prison ! -1 am wiser , I am happier , I hope that I am better for being here . I hare no wish to leaTe this cell , except in God ' s own way . Shonld that day arrive , I conld sot leaTe it without sojie feelings of regret Tea snch happy months were never my portion elsewhere . The face of man has neyer frowned upon me—the harsh tones of his anger has never reached my ears—I have not seen a foe in all that while . ' My friends have clustered around me i Perhaps my health has suffered ; but God has never left me . I cannot give place to anxiety or fear , because his promises are faithful . I believed them bo , before I carae to prison—now , I know them to be true!—No , Sir , I have not a wish to leave ; and should I die , then the working men will see to it , that my rem-uns shall moulder and mingle with my own Yorkshire ' s dust—I know that they wilL

      " There is Sir , a principle involved—J am a prisoner for debt ! I do not rebel , I do not complain—I submit , but I protest ! If the unconstitutional Jaw thus barbarously wantons with the liberty and the life ( for that law leaves men here to starve asd die ) of the subject , it also ordains , that caption pays the debt ! It unjustly gives-tfce saTage murderous heart the power to choose ' body or goods , ' not both , I offered you more than the law awa-dsd , all that I had , and then my after earnings 1 Your choice fell on my body : it is yours , the law says so—fiesh , blood , sinews , bones , skin—they are all your own ; and had I owed you all Eugland ' s currency , the moment my body became your property , that debt would have been cancelled . Bamember , you did not tske my body , till J had givea you all the boois —books which the verdict could not award you ! Thty

      were not iEcladed in your cl&ims against me , nor were they yours . I trcsttd to year honour . I believed , from what I heard in CoHrt , that we were friends . When yourcsolTed to be vindictive , bad honour retaiiu-d her seat in Thomhill ' sbreast , you would have returned th « books , which were delivered up by me , under the conviction that your anger was appeased . But , unhappily for you , you were betrayed by those whom you believed to be your friends : thus did the false representation of my enemies and yeurs , compel you to perpetrate an act , which , wh » n reason resumes her wonted seat , you will regret nmch more than I . Your prejudices now blind your reason , and force you to " reward me eTil for good , and hatred for my love . " Time will remove those prejudices 1—honour will once more find a home in your bosctn , then all will be well : till then , Sir , I am willing to remain your prisoner .

      " I can never tuntil 1 am proTed tobs in eiror ) admit the principle , that after ten months' imprisonment , & detaining creditor has any elaim . in law bat blood and bofiea , anl sinews , and flesh and skin . " I hope , Sir , that my friends will excuse me—lam grateful to ihem ; but I protest , on principle , against payment for my release ! I protest , ia the same of the spir it of the Const : tutioa , against my , or any Englishman ' s or EnglishwoKian ' s , imprisonment fur debt!—necessity forces iae to submit . I no so with some degree of pride , knowing thai I suftr icron ^ failj / ! Tha hand which strikes me should have bsen the hand to nomish me . I hope , however , that the mistaken kindness of my friends will not / ores me to submit to , and then protest against , my release . In reference to the Insolvents Debtor ' s court , Mr . Oastler writes thus : —

      " ' Bat , ' say you , ' why does not Oistler take the beneS : of the insolvent Debtors' Act ? ' An old friead ot mice , a nue one of yours , says , ' that you wish ma to do so / Have you forgotten the birgain made between tout attorney and mine , ' th * t OiStler was sot to avail himself of the InsolTen ; Debtors' Act ? ' You remember , that it was propcad by your attorney , and agreed to by mine . " Bet , Sir , had no harjain been made between our solicitors , 1 conld not " pass through the Court , " without sanctioning tbe barbarism which gives you the power to imprison and starve me to death ! I am too much of an Englishman to admit that that is justice , and I can never become a viiling party to that which is tyranny . "Were I to regain my liberty by submission u > that ' law , " I should become its flare- I would much , rather be an unconsesting prisoner ' inside , ' than a consenting slave * st large . "

      so much thirsts for and requires ; and being surrounded by the most mournful examples of rice and drunkenness;—he has still , by applying his mind in an innocent , if not a profitable pursuit , succeeded in bringing forth a number of minor poetical effusions , which i&re not only the claim of a purity of thought to recommend them to the acceptance cf the reader , but also one of chaste and well measured expression ; such as may well become " the tuneful Muse , " if not in her highest , at least in some of her happiest and most amiable moods .

      Having in the latter end of the last year a wish to try his luck in London , two gentlemen connected with the press kindly promised that if he should determine upon doing bo , they would not see him starve ; but that if he would t > e willing to " turn his Land to anything" some small pittance should . be forthcoming for him . With this prospect before him , our author left his native town aad relations , to mingle with strangers , and walked the dreary journey from Manchester to London , with but nine shillings in hia possession .

      He arrived in London in the beginning of September last , and since then has been apprenticed to the trade of a printer . His master having had the kindness to lend him the use of type and furnish hiin with everything else necessary , he has composed and printed the present little volume in his leisure honrg , independently of his usual employment . Such are tbe circumstances under which these poetical flights aro introduced to us ; and they are themselves of a character to command attention and patronage . These circumstances become doubly to terosting , when coupled with the fact , that there is in this little pamphlet a considerable share of that most scarce article , genuine poetry and fine feeling .

      IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA . ARRIVAL OF THB BRITANNIA . The royal mail steamer , Britannia , Captain Cleland , arrived at Livprpool on Thursday night . She left Boston on the afternoon of the 16 th , and Halifax on the night of the 18 th ult ., and , notwithstanding easterly gales and heavy weather , has completed the voyage in fourteen days and a few hours . She has brought only twenty-six passengers . The files of papers received by the Britannia extend over the long space of fifteen days . Their contents are interesting and highly importa » t . The New Fiscal Corporation Bill , the object of

      which was to enact tho establishment of a national bauk , passed the senate by a vote of twenty-seven to twenty-two . The president , however , refused to sanction the new bill , which ho vetoed as he had vetoed tbe old one . As the refusal of Mr . Tyler to sanction the bill had been anticipated , the actual refusal did not surprise the public , nor did it cause any popular excitement . Ho transmitted a message to congress , embodying his objections to the bill and his reasons fer vetoing it . The House of Representatives took the veto message into consideration ; on a division , however , the bill was lost by 103 to 80 , the constitution requiring the concurrence of twothirds of the hous 9 to carry a measure which the president has refused to sanction by his signatare .

      The disagreement between the president and the majority of the houses of congress had caused the dissolution of the cabinet , which had enjoyed tho confidence of congress and of the whig party at targe . Messrs . E-Ting , Crittennen , Badger , and Beil . sent in their resignation on Friday , the 10 th jiH ., to take effect at twelve o ' clock on Saturday . They were accepted . The president immediately nominated in their plaoe 3 Mr . Walter Forward , of Pittsburg , Pennsylvania , to be secretary of the treasury ; Mr . H . S . Legare , of Charleston , South Carolina , to be attorney-general ; Judge Abel S . Upshur , of Virginia , to be secretary of the navy ; and Mr . John M'Lean , judge of the Supreme Ceurt of the United States , to be secretary of war . Mr . Grainger also resigned , and Mr . Charles A . Wickliffe . of

      Kentucky , was appointed postmaster-general . The gentlemen who had resigned are said to have adopted their courses without any previous concert with Mr . Webster , but not without previous consultation with Mr . Clay . Mr . Ewing , in a letter of considerable length , had Btated the reasons which had influenced him in resigning office . Mr . Webster , in a short letter , assigned his for . retaining it / Agreeing with the president on the foreign policy of the go * vernment , Mr . Webster considered it to be his duty not to abandon office in the present critical state of the relations , it was surmised , of the United States and Great Britain . Congress bad adjourned , after having perfected and carried out all the great measures for which the extra session had been called , save ouly the bank bill .

      The senate had confirmed , by a vote of twentythree to nineteen , tho nomination of Mr . Everett as minister to England , an appointment which had given general satisfaction . Thc > trial of Mr . M'Leod was appointed to take place at Utica on Monday , the 27 th ult . The panel of jurors made out for his trial consisted , it was said , of several quakera and others , who would , it was supposed , be disposed to view the matter in a farourablo light for M'Lf-od . Considerable excitement had been caused at Utica from information said to have been received by the sheriff , that some desperadoes , refugees from Canada , and others , whose exasperation again England and especially against the colonial authorities , knpw no bounds , had eaterlained a design of carrying off M'Leod from tho gaol at Whites borough , Dear Utiea , and hanging him , in the hope to render war inevitable . It was presumed ,

      however , if the design was ever seriously entertained , that the measures which had been taken by the local and state authorities woald render any smch attempt hopeless . A roiDOur had obtained circulation , that Mr . Fox had received , by the steamer , orders to demand the instant release of M'Leod , and , if it was refused , to demand his passports ; but the story was generally discredited . The detention of tbe prisoner had been the subject of debate in the House of Representatives . Mr . Adams condemned thoeeurse which ihe state of New York had adopted iu reference to him , r . nd praised Mr . Webster's letter to Mr . Fox . He referred to the conciliating tone assumed towards the United States by Sir Robert Peel in his address at Tamivorth , and slated his conviction , that while the rights and the honour of the country would be firmly and fully maintained , peace would bo preserved so long as Daniel Webster waB secretary of stats .

      The city of Cincinnati had been the scene of lawless violence and sanguinary conflict . The riotB which had disgraced that city had their origin in the strong feeling which the efforts of the friends of negro emancipation , had caused . A mob of whites collected and proceeded to the negro quarter for the purpose of attacking fne blacks . The negroes , who , having expected the attack , wero armed , fired on tho whites , some of wi . ^ in were killed and more wounded . The a ^ aiia nts iuimedia feiy fled , pursued by the victorious blacks . For several days tho city was the scene of riot ; but the civil pow < r having been reinforced the rioting was qm-iled and great numbers of blacks apprehended .

      The ilonseof Representatives had been the scene of a general riot . In a discussion on the Diplomatic Biil Mr . Stanley twitted Mr . Wise with inconsistency ia opposing the amendment of the senate , striS ' . rj ; out of the list tho mission to Naples , seeing that , last session , he had worked hard in favour of dispensing ; viih the mission to Mexico , or , at lea . st , i : i favour of reducing the appropriations for it . Mr . Wise remarked , that the mention of this mutter wa 3 prompted by a spirit of " little malevolence . " Mr . Stanley admitted that the allusion was of malice aforethought . As soon as Mr . Stanley sat down , Mr . Wise crossed the hall to him- Words took place , the lie was KJ > and Mr Wise struck Mr . S ' . anley . A violent coi flict ensued . The fight bocame general , members of both parties attacking

      each other with the fiercest determination . The affair threatened for several minutes general bloodshed . Amongst those who were teen in tho most violent contest , each grappling at the other ' throat , were Mr . Arnold , of Tennersee , and Msjor Butler , o ? Kentucky , Mr . Wise , and Mr . Stanley , the original combatants , were lost sight of amidst the now numerous conflicting panics . Order was at length restored . Explanations and apologies followed , and , on the following day , the quarrel between the two gentlemen , which had threatened to end in a , duel , was , by the interrentieH of friends , amicably adjust ed . A committee of the house had investigated the affdir and reported on the subject , recommending certain regulatious i ' or the future guidance of members during the debases of a personal nature .

      A more minute account of the " 6 cene is given by the reporter of the Intelligencer , » 3 fdlows : — While Mr . Filhnore was m the midst of a sentence , the reporter ( who nad noticed Mr . Wise cross over to the seat of Mr . Stanley , and had observed those two gentlemen ia conversation , apparently of a very excited nature , ) saw Mr . Wise raise his hand violently , and aim a blow at th « face of Mr . Stanley , who as Instantaneously met or returned it . A violent fight followed , ard in less time thsn it can be described in this report , a scene of mingled uproar and fight , such as the reporter in many years' experience haB never witnessed on the floor of the house , ensued . Messrs . Wise and Stanley were lost to the eight ef the reporter in the general rush , while Mr . Arnold , of Tennessee , and Mr . Butler , of Kentucky , were noticed in a violent personal struggle , striking at and grappling with each other . Mr . Dixon , H ,

      Untitled Article

      LewiB , and Mr . Gilnjer , and others , were seen in the midst , endeavouring to quell the disturbance , which had now reached a point at which it seemed impossible to arrest ita progress . The members had rushed from all parts of the-hall v some rushing over , and others standing npon , the tables , literally piling themselves one on the other , and several canes were Been by the reporter raised as if ia the act of striking . The speaker during this time had resumed the chair informally , but no one paid the least regard to bis voice

      , and he called in tain on the officers , none of whom were observed by the reporter , with the exception of the doorkeeper , who was endeavouring to close the doors and windows against the 5 k ° 7 . d , from without , who attempted to rush within the haU . The goneral melee < of which the reporter was takwc notes ) continued for about three minutes It tnfn subsided , though by what direct process the reporter could not understand ; but he heard the voioe of Mr . Wise , who had returned to his seat ; addressing the ohair .

      The director of the baBk of the United States had made an assignment of most of the valuable assets to the following gentlemen : —James Robertson , president ; J . S . Newbold , a director ; Richard Bayard , D e laware ; Thomas S . Taylor , cashier ; and Herman Cope , assistant-cashier . The course now adopted by the board of directors had , it was understood , been rendered necessary by the great number of suits instituted against the bank . These events were absorbing the funds of the bank , and it was thought that the directors had consulted and protected the interests

      of the noteholders and stockholders by the course they had followed . With this assignment tho banking business necessarily closed . I he shares in the institution , which sold at 13 on the 1 st ult ., had fallen to 6 | , aud were offered freely at that rate . The assignment of the property of the bank had induced holders of stock to realize at auy price , the universal opinion being that there would not be enough property left to enable tho bank to pay its debts , and , consequently , that the stockholders will lose everything . The notes were selling at from 30 to 35 per cent , discount .

      The exchange on England , per the Britannia , was 109 ^ , at which a fair business had been done . On Pang , the rate was . 5 f 20 o ; Holland , 40 A ; Hamburg , 36 £ to I ; Bremen , 78 $ to 79 . The intelligence from Canada is of a painful kind . Lord Sydenham had been thrown from his horse , by which accident he was severely bruised , and his leg broken in two places . The latest bulletin of Wb excellency's health was not favourable ; he suffered a restless uight , and had shown symptoms of returning gout . The House of Assembly , with four dissentients , had voted an address of condolence to his Lordship .

      The Canada legislature had rejected , by 40 to 29 , the Governor General ' s project of a government bank- The sessiou was just on the eve oi closing .

      ..... —^ ^ ~* r ~~~ . A Man killed by a Tobacco Pipe . —An inquest was held on Saturday forenoon , at the Cumberland Head , City Road , before Mr . Baker , the Coroner , on the body of George Joliffe , aged 29 , a shoemaker of Graham ' s Buildings , St . Luke ' s , whoso death was caused in tho following singular manner : —It appeared , according to the evidence of Mary JoliflV , that on Tuesday nii ; ht , the 21 st ult ., she was following the deceased , her husband , home from a publichouse in Twister ' s Alley , St . Luke ' s , when he accidentally trod upon his boot-lace , and fell forward on tho ground . He wai smoking a short tobacco pipe at tha tima he fell , and when he aTose he had great difficulty in pulling it from his mouth ; but she did not then know that it had been , by the force of the fall , driven into the flesh , and that a pieco of it remained there . The following morning he ate

      a hearty breakfast , and in a short time afterwards was interrupted in his work by a pain in his throat . The pain increased , aud recollecting the circumstance of his accident , he went to St . Banhoioaiew ' s Hospital , where h ; s mouth , which was by that time greatly swolien , was lanced , but ho was not even then certain of the cause of the pain . On Tuesday last , she took him to St . Luke ' s Workhouse , where ho was immediately received , put to bod , and attended by the surgeon . The swelling in the mouth and throat gradually increased , and on Thursday last he died of strangulation . Deceased , at the time he fell , was intoxicated . Mr . Thomas Ranee , the workhouse surgeon , said that he opened and examined tho deceased ' s head , and , without much trouble , found in the back part , near the throat , a piece of tobacco pipe , about two inches in length . That was sufficient to cause death . Verdict , " Accidental death . "

After Mr . Hare had dropped from the coaoh it proceeded about 100 yards further to a turn in the road , when one of tho wheelers fell . The coach was at tbi 3 time upon part of the wall bounding the road , and it is thought that if tha wheeler had not fallen at the very niomenc it did

      tko coach would have been precipitated over tho low wall into the valley below . Its legs wero broken , and it was thought proper to kill n immediately . Tho other wboelei' was also seriously hurt , and reHdered comparatively of no value . They both belonged to Mr . Richardson , of Snap , who it is said , will sustain a loss of upwards of £ 40 . Two other gentlemen leaped from , tin ) coach tho moment the wheeler fell , and sustained no injury , as it was at that timo nearly at a stand ; the one leaped upon the other . The coach was driven to Kondal by oue of the guards , aud the driver was loft on tho road . On the same day , in the same coach , and with the same driver , another horso was seriously injured by comiBg in contact with a cow , upon the road between Plumpton and Penrith . The driver ia the same person who was thrown off the coach at Laccastorbridgeand seriously hurt , some months back .

      Rascally TREATMRNr of Emigrants . —On Thursday a party of emigrants , eleven in number , from Stroud , in Gloucestershire , waited on Mr . B&llfintine , at the Thames PoJice-ofiico , to complain of the conduct of the people connected with the ship Himalaya , Henry Burn , commander , th ? n on her weigh down tho river to Port Pbilip and Sydney . It appeared , from tho statement of the emigrant ? , that their passage was engaged on board tha Himalaya , and they wont into the St . Katharine ' s Dock about e ' even o ' clock , as tho ship was about to get under way , and were told they could not coma on board then , and must wait a little while , although there was no reason why they should not have gone on board at onse . Soon afterwards tho ship began to

      haul out of tho dock , bui no notice was taken of them , nor were they allowed to enter the ship . They then went round to tho lock entrance to mett the ship as it was co : ; iing out , and upon the swivelbridgo being opened , the vessel remained in the lock some tir / . e , close alongside the quay , and they could easily havo stepped on beard , and were preparing to do so , when they wore forced bask by the Captain aud others , who used tho most gross l&vguage towards them , and declaring they could not conio on board until the ship reached Gravesoud . A married woman with her child wa 3 , however , assisted on board by a relative , and had no sooner cot ou dock than she was rudely assailed , and a man laid hold of her , dragged her along with brutal violence , and

      forced her outside tho ship . Sho stood upon the rail and clung to tho rigging , screaming violently , while tho feiiows npsn deck , unmindful of Iht perilous situation , endeavoured to shove her back upon tho pier , and one man held up her child with the intuition of throwing it to the people ou i ho quay , who hissed , hooted , groaned , and called out " Shams suauie » . " A sceno of the greatest confusion ensued , in tho midst of which the ship made a sheer off , reiidcring the situation , of the poor woman st ? U mure perilous . , The Captain of the vessel t ! : en called out , " Let her stop , I'll serve them out for it , " and she was dragged upon deck aud pushed about in a , brutal iuauer . The applicants could not su ceed in reaching the vessel ; and

      a . Uer meeting with a good deal of abuso were told to join the Himalaya at Gravfscnd . They had , however , no msans of reaching tka !; place , or sufficient to purchase a meal , and tiioy humbly implored tho magistrate to assist them and to interfere iu their behalf so a 3 to secure tin m from ill-treatment during the voyage , which they were fearful might be exercised towards them after the threats nude use of by the persons in authority < m board the Himalaya . Mr . Ballantino said tho poor emigrants must not be left behind , aid ho thought more kindness might have been pursued toward numbers of inuividuals about to leave their native country for a distant land . Heasked who were the agents of the ship . The emi grants handed up a card , from which it appeared that Masson and Hoggins , a very respectable firm in Lime-sircet-Equare , were the agents and bankers of the Himalaya , and it was stated they wero not likely to tolerate such

      misconduct as that complained of . Mr . Ballantine directed Blaby , the chief U 3 her of the Court , to take charge of the emigrants , to see them on board a Gravesend steamer , aud pay their passage , give them a dinner , and present to each of them 6 d . to pay a boatman to convey them from the Bteamer , on her arrival at Gravesend , to the Himalaya . He also directed Blaby to wait upon the agents , and inform them © f what had occurred . He expected that no harshness would be exhibited towards any of the emigrants iu oonetqueries of this complaint . The applicants , consisting chiifly of young men and women , expressed their gratitude to the worthy and humane magistrate in a way not to bo misunderstood , and left the Court with the officer . The brutality exercised towards tha female who nearly lost her lifoi was witnessed by one hundred and fifty people on the quay , and the police . The dock-meu and other * joined in loud expressions of indignation .

      The Ibish Djstii-lebs . —The distillers of Ireland have had a very large raoetingj which continued two successive days—Tuesday and Wednesday last —for the purpose of briaging before the Government the depressed condition of their trade , arising from the ataw of the law as regards the intercourse between England , Ireland , asd Scotland ^ and also for considering what steps tfhoold be taken to obtain redress . Sunderland . — -Poor Alderman Thompson * bo recently the idol of the Tories of Sunderland , has fallen under the ban of his old worshippers . His political flirtations have grave names applied to them by the Tory magnates of that venerable borough ; his . portraitisno longer to ornament the

      Exchange Buildings ; nor are his arms to direct the thirsty traveller to where the best treble X . is to be obtained . The Tories of Sunderland do not like being Jilted by suen every-day catches as the Alderman , and they show the bitterness of their mortification by removing from their sight everything calculated to reaiuid of a connexion not over and above oredi able to any of the parties concerned . Thus at a public meeting of the Sunderland Tones , held on the 19 th ult ., the following resolutions were unanimously . adop . ed : —" That this meeting are of opinion , that the conduct of Mr . Aid * man Thompson has been unconstitutional , and highly detrimental to ? he interests of the borough . " — " That the portrait of tho Alderman be immediately withdrawn

      horn the Exohauge Buildings , and that the same be submitted for saio by public action . "— " That Mr . Homer be instructed to remove ! lie Alderman ' s Arms from his building , and to adopt tho title of * Horner ' s Commercial Hotel . '" These resolutions wero advertised at the expence of the meeting , bat as we would not have the characser of tha Alderman among the Tories confined to tho Conservative Journals , we insert them for nothing . The picture , with two hundred engravings from it , are also advertised to be sold ; but as there is nobody in Sunderland to bid a penny for them , the bovouyh had better make a present of them to Lord Low ther . All parties are how sick of the Alderman , whose person and picture are equally a drug in the Tory market .

      Thuk Conservatism . —A truly popular Parliament we conceive would be the most strictly Conservative body in the woild , for it would make the foundation of all its legislation rest upon preserving to each man his own . It would put dowa all inroads and invasions of another rsaa ' a property , securing from all aUaoks whether of force or of fraud , the fruits of man ' s labour whether of head or of hands—and most surely wonld it examine into the nature of all impositions , shams , 'humbugs , quackeries , and pretensions by which society is now gulled , and by which so cmoh that is idle and worthless usurps the place of reality . " Money for money's worth , and vice vet ' na , " would be a law whieh would reduce to nonentity many a lord , biehop , agricultural game-preserver , Whig patriot , lawyer , doctor , able editor , idler , &c .

      Death op a Wealthy Miser . —On Monday morning last Mr . Robert Smith , who was by trade a smith , died at his late residence , No . 12 , Great St . Andrew street , Seven Dials , in the possession of funded , freehold , and leasehold property , it is stated , to the amount of nearly £ 400 , 000 . He wa 3 of the most singular habits from early life , and was left a considerable sum of money by his father , with which he speculated in the funds and in building houses , his speculations turning out almost always to advantage . In the neighbourhood of Morningtonorescejit ho built between 150 and 200 houses , besides having many other houses in different parts of the town . His property in the funds is believed to ex * ceed £ 100 , 000 . He was born in the house in which he died , and resided in it throughout ! -. is lifo , be ng

      about seventy years of age . Though possessed of this immense wealth , hia habits were most penurious . His mode of living was scarcely sufficient to support nature . He had no servant , but a woman used to como occasionally to char . His neighbours knew little of him , as he had no associates . His house exhibited the appearance of a tenant not provided with the meaus of keeping it in decent repair , and the windows wero cleaned about twice a , year . He has left a brother and sister . The former will inherit the property , as ho has left no will . The latter , who was early " crossed in love , " was allowed by him £ 1 a week . She is a woman also ot the most eccentric habits . Mr . Smith once held the offico of ovt r . < eer of ihe parish of St . Giles , in which he was a resident .

      Total Destruction Kiniiel Hall , the Seat of Lord Dinohben . —The mansion of Lord Dinorbea , at Kinuiel-park , near St . Asaph , was totally destroyed by fire last week . We understand thai soon after ten o ' clock on Monday night it was discovered that her ladyship ' s dressing-room was on fire , and that the names had already gained some height . Immediately after the discovery an alarm was given throughout the mansion , and happily none of the domestics had retired to rest , so that they all directed their efforts to quench the flames , but , we regret to . add , without effoct . The fire had obtained such an ascendancy aa to baffle all their endeavours , aud from there not being any eagines foi many miles around , nothing could be dono to arrest the

      fury of the flames , which continued their devastating ravages until five o ' clock next morning , leaving the Buperb mansion and its costly furniture a heap of aahes . Tbe inhabitants of Llan St . Siors , Aber ^ eley and St . Asaph , wero greatly alarmed , the cor . fligratioa illuminating the country for many miles around , and althoKch hundreds of persons were willing to render all tha assistance possible , all their exertions could not . prove of the slighvest ase . The furniture and other property saved is comparatively small to that which fell a sacrifice to the ilaipes , and we understand the family plate ia buried in the ruins , as also her ladyship ' s jewellery . The greater portion of his lordship ' s valuablo library a : id MSS . were rescued at an early stage of the fire , as we are informed . Lord and Lady Dinorbeu have been

      obliged to take up their residence at his Lordship ' s land steward ' s , Mr . Murray . Lady Gardner , who was staying with her noble father , has lost everything , and is compelled to sleep at the dairy for the present . The servants of the establishment have had all their apparel consumed . The fire appears to have originated through the carelessness of her ladybhip ' s raaid leaving a candle too near the furniture of the dressing room . Their royal highnesses the Prince aud Princess of Capua were to leave Richmond early in the ensuing week for the purpose of staying several weeks with tho noble lord and lady , and other visitors were also invited . It will be a serious Ios 3 to his lordship , for it is said the whole of the property was uninsured , and it is computed £ 35 , t 00 will not cover the damage dono .

      Attempt at Mup . dkr .-St . Aibaw ' s , Monday , Oct . 4 th . —This morning the town was thrown into a state of great excitement by a report that a young woman had been murdered at an obscure public house , called the Boot , by a soldier , with whom sho cohabited . On inquiry it was found that thero was but too much foundation for the report , for although tho girl is not dead , the injury bhe has received ia so great that but slight hopes' are entertained oi" her recovery . At twelve o ' clock , Mr . Rumball , tbe mayor , and Messrs . Lipscombe , Coles , Osbaidiston , and Kindar , borough magistrates , assembled at the Town-hall to investigate tUo affair . The accused party was in custody . His name is Jabiz Kirk : he is about 10 years of age , belongs

      to the 74 th Regiment of Foot , and presented a most unprepossessing appearance . Tho fallowing evidence furnishes the main facts of the case : —John Lacy , or . e of the borough police , proved being sent for , about a quarter before seven o ' clock this morning , to tho Boot pubiic-houeo , in the Abbey parish . On e 2 iteriii £ the houso , the landlord i » formed him that a soldier had committed inunlcr in his house . On iioing up stairs to a bed room , the prisoner met him at the door and said , " Lacy , take aio ; I have cut her throat , " pointing at tho same time to the girl Pearce , who was lying ou a bed in the room the prisoner came out of . Witness immediately aeiz d him by tho two wrists , and sat him on another bed in tho same room . He trembled very muchand the upper part of his person was covered

      , with blood . He had no shirt on , only his trousers and shoes . His face was bo much covered with blood that he could scarcely distinguish his featn . ros . There was no b ' . ood on hia trousers . Witness a ked the prisoner what he had dono it with ? he replied , with a razor , and that it was on the bed where the woman was lying . Ho looked among the bedclothes for tho razor , but could not find it , when Jane P «; arce pulled tbo bed up a littla aa well aa she could , and between tho bed and mattrass he found the razor he produced . [ The witness produced the razor , which was covered with blood ] He asked tho prisoner U he had any reason for committing the act , but ho shook his head and made no answer . The prisoner also pointed out to witness his shirt . On being

      produced , it was found to be covered ^ with blood , and very much torn . Tho quantity of blood on the left Bide was the greatest . The prisoner washed himself in witness ' s presence , but had no wounds on his own person . He eaw Jano Pearco lying on a bed with her throat very much cut . There was also » cut on the right arm , another on the right bud , £ « d several more on her left shoulder ; while the bed and the room bore ample traces of the prisoner ' s erime . Robert Thorpe , a Private in the ? 3 J Foot , proved that he and the prisoner were stationed with a recruiting party « t St . Alban ' s . He lent the r * zor , produced by the policeman , to the prisoner for him low

      to show on inspection , as he &au ms own . no knew it to be the same , as it bore nis regimental mark and number-viz ., E 73 , 320 . Mr Webster a surgeon , residing at St . Albau ' s , proved be : ug called in abVui a quarter before seven this morning , to attend Poarce . Ho found her in bed with her throat cut itnd other injuries , and it was evident to him , from the nature and number of the wounds , that they could not have been inflicted by herself . He found two or three wounds on the left shoulder , one on the cheek , and a wound upon the left ear , obliquely running to tho right side of tho neck . It was deep and jagged , and had evidently beeu inflicted during a violent

      Untitled Article

      struggle . This wound was seven inches long , and had divided the muscles of the ; uvular vein , and wounded the trachea , without , however , cutting it through . There had been before his arrival considerable hemorrhage , which had subsided ; it again , however , took place to such on extent that he had beeu fearful of the patient being suffocated ; it had again , however , subsided . He also found that the tendons of the inside of the right hand had beeu cut . fcr . Webster concluded his evidence by stating at aa his opinion the girl was not in a fit state to be examined . The magistrates then committed the prisoner for further examination . It was stated in the court that the prisoner is a runaway apprentice from Coventry , and that he has beea in the army nina months . No probable motive has been ass igned . About six o ' clock the prisoner came down stairs , and took up a pint of beer for himself , and a bottle of ginger beer for tho girL

      Dbeadful Accident on the Lokdox and Brighton Railway—Four Lives Lost , and many persons Dangerously Wounded . —On Saturday about twelve o'clock , an extensive train , propelled by two engines , left Brighton for London , and proceeded safely until it arrived at Hay ward ' s-heath , where from some cause not ascertained it met with the following upset . The first engine got off the line , and drew after it the tender and four carriages belonging to the train . The engine was dashed to atoms , aad the engine driver and tho engineer were tilled on the ? . pot . The tender and the four carriages were knocked to pieces , two of the passengers were also kilied , three others were dangerously wounded , and many more , it is stated , havo received severe

      contuMons and wounds . It is stated that owing to the great fall of rain during the past week , the founda < - tion of the railway somewhat sweikd , and henee the rail , in a slight degree , bulged out of iis proper position . Under such circumstances an accident would most likely ensue . The passengers by this train , which ought to have reached -town by half-past two , did not arrive at the terminus until eight o ' clock , p- m . The sufferers were removed to Crawley , and other places for medical assistance . The place where tho accident occurred is about 17 miles from Brighton . At six o ' clock the superintendent dispatched an engine to ascertaiu the case of the non-arrival of tho train , and upon its return with the melancholy intelligence , some of the Directors immediately started to aseeriain the real cause of the mishap .

      Oke av "she proprietors of the first hotels in Dublin decamped in the early part of last week , leaving the late owner of tne house in question minus £ 6 , 000 , besides owing large sum « amongst numerous other creditors . The absconding party was hitherto deemed a person of strict probiry , and has carried off property to the amount of £ 28 , 000 , leaving hia creditors minus that amount amongst them .

      CORPORAL PUNISHMENTS IN PRISONS . SIXTH REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF PRr-SOVS FOR THE NORTHERN AND EAbTERN DISTRICT . [ Extracts ] ro the most noble the makquis op normandy , thb secretary of state for the homk departkent . S' . rand-on-the-Green , Aug . 17 . Mr Lord , —I have the honour to submit tr > your Lordship my Annual Report upon the state of Prisons , risited by me in the Norihern and Eastern District of Englaod . in 1840 . * * * *

      Tue manner of inflicting corporal punishment in gaols appears very objectionable . I am of opinion the sumbur of lashes , tho time of punishment , aud the instrument should be dt-fined , aud tho attendance of a surgeon rendered imperative by legal enactment . The consequences of such not being the case are , that the keepers of prisons have nearly absolute power in the execution of this senfcnca ; aad that the method varies ia almost every prison , at least in the great majority of those ¦ which come uznier my observation : for instance , in one the whipping of prisoners is carried to the utmost extern ot sevtrity , and to the number of eight or ten doian lashes ; in another not m ^ re than ten or twelve lashes are given , aud with a lightness which makes the sentence ' nominal . Tho time when the sentence is to b « carried into effect is also generally left to the discretion of the keeper . In one

      house of correction punishment takes place the day previous to a prisoner ' s discharge , a practice which I have strongly recommended to be discontinued , more particularly as tho whipping ordinarily inflicted there is severe , and must therefore greatly add to the already too numerous obstacles in the way of discharged prisoners obtaining employment In some prisons the scourge in use is similar to that in the army ; in others to the navy ; in -another it is a simple school-rod . I havu occasionally found these instruments improper from their weight and siaj , and have considered it my duty to recommend the use of others less severe . The fact of whippina being now almost confined to delinquent boys , many of whom are little above tbe age and appearance of children , appears to me to call for the exercise of greater circumspection in the infliction , and which , from personal observation , I am satisfied it

      requires . I have most particularly to solich your Lordship ' s attention to tho subject of juvenile delinquency at Liverpool , and to the remarkable testimony it contains of the serious consequences arising from the low and debasing character of the public amusements which are provided for the entertainment of the humbler classes , and particularly for those of younger years . I cannot too stn > D « iy recommend tha extension oi tho pswers of the Metropolitan Police Act , to towns containing a large population , whereby some centroi may be exercised over these sources of corruption . Williah John Williams , Inspector of Prisons .
