IN CONSE QUENCE OF THE AKOLITIONof the Duty on Adveitisements , we bt .-g u

inform onr Friends mid the Public generall y , thaioe have resolved on reducing the j rice of Adver -tisements not onl y a shilling each—as allowed bythe rrcent Act—but yet a great deal nm;e.

Prior to tha passing of 'his Act it was wellknown that our lowest price for the smallest Ail-vertisenient was S:>. Cd. and upwards. Thatwould be, if continued—¦

For One Year, £S 0s.This being so hi gh, that trades-people scldoir

advertised b,y the year. But now we pronoe to adojila different scale of prices , ond one which , wehope , will not onl y increase the number of ouiAdvert isements in a marked c.'cgrce, but augnieuiour list of Subscribers very considerabl y.

We therefore propose to charge siJvr.rlisen£2 10s. a year for our Paper, which will entitlethem to publish an announc ement of their owntusincss , if not more than Six LINKS , in everypublication f o r Ttrrlve M milLi.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.(Fiom the Morning Post.)

The Sultan, it appears, by the latest accounts from,the East, has ordered his generals not to commencehostilities until the 1st of November, in order to givea last opportunity to Russia to withdraw from thefalse position in which she has placed herself.

Russia will now at once and completely yield, orat once the Porte will enter upon a long and bloodywar, of which we may venture to believe the onlyresult can be the complete defeat of Russia, becauseEngland and France are resolved to fight in the causeof tlieir ally.

The two Great Western Powers now fully com-prehend that the readier they are for war the morechance there is of peace.

The indications, however, which reach us from St.Petersburg, induce us to expect that the Czar willyield. These- indications, nevertheless, are not sostrong now as they were two months ago. Then wewere misled. It will be fatal to Rustia and to thepeace of Europe if we are again deceived.

With regard to the nature of the proposition madeby the Sultan, we have every -reason to believe thatit is based upon an immediate .evacuation of thePrincipaljtks and that.its tenor admits not one par-ticle, no t^rie iotaToiTtSe'cIaims of BSJlaS.'-' '".

PRANCEUpon the subject of the reported armistice between

the Turkish aud Russian armies, the MONITEUR sup-plies the following particulars :—•" The government lias received despatches from the

French Ambassador at Constantinople, dated 21st ofOctober. The reply of Prince Gortschakoffwas con»sidered negative. Nevertheless, at the request of. therepresentatives of the Four Powers, the Porte had gi-ven orders to adjourn hostilities to the 1st of Novem-ber.

" In case hostilities should have been commenced,the order was to be considered as null (NOS AVENUE .)Tlie fleets were to pass the Dardanelles on tbe follow-ing day,"~ " RUSSIA.

WAIISAW, OCT 22.—Reinforcements have beenaentofl to the Crimea. The impregnability of Sebastopolis considered past question. The Circassians, havelately exhibited wonderful activity, and have presseddown to the coast of the Black Sea. Forts Gortogo-jewsk and Tenglnsk have been completely demolished,and the Russians so hard pressed that a number oftheir priests, who were carrying crosses to stimulatethe soldiers, were left dead upon the field. ThreeRussian brigades have been sent from Tortum to theTurkish frontier. Oslen Sacken's corps still halts inVolhinia. A portion of the corps of General Lndersis still on . the Russian side of the Pruth.

A Russian steamer had carried away from Constan-tinople the Russian residents and tie Consul. '•

ALARMING RIOTS IN ENGLANDRiots, fierce and desperaf&r-ihe natural consequen-

ces of prolonged "strikes"—have taken place, dur-ing the past week, in Lancashire.

The town of Wigan, on Friday last, was the sceneof a most alarming tumult, during which a largeamount of property was destroyed, and many parties,quite unconnected with the movement or its origin,severely injured. The population of Wigan is setdown at 32,000. Of this number 6,000 factory opera-tives and some 5,000 colliers have been on the " turnout" fGr the last five or six weeks.

A GRAND SHIP—The great Boston builder, DonaldM'Kay, has built another magnificent clipper. It iscalled the Great Republic, is of 4,000 tons burthen,and will spread 16,000-yards of canvass to the winds,She is expected to surpass in sailing qualities the Fly-ing Cloud which ran, 374 geographical miles in 24hours, and the Sovereign of the Seas, which once ran420 geographical miles in the same time.

MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.On Tuesday, 1st of November, a meeting of the

Town Council was held at their chamber , Town IInil ,at which the following members attended :—

THOMAS F. ST R A N O B , K.sq., Mayor, in the chair.Aldermen—Owen Carroll , Richard Cooke, Henry

D.ivii . Ma tthew Slane-v, Thomas L. Mnckosy, SamuelWoods. Councillors—Sir Benjamin Morris, John A.Blake , Thomas Piirecll , Captain Newport , HenryDenny, Kdmond Walsh , Samuel 'I'.

Carroll (M.I) .), John K. Feohan , Char-les Xcuj mi t , Jolin L.ilor, ;ind Henry Gnlhwy,

The Town Clerk read the minutes of proceedingsof last meeting, and the several reports of the com-mittees. COMMITTKl: KVT OUTS.

The report of the finance committee , recommend-ing die pavment of £1 oU Ms .">d , was recei ved amiadopted. u ivr. t ; W A TCH .

A memorial from the quay and river watch—whonre paid out of the water bai l ifl 's' fees—was, on themotion of Captain Newport , for .in increase of wages,from ]().». (3d. to 12s.—owing to the advance in provi-sions—passed unanimousl y.

Doctor J. Mackesy again urged the necessity ofhaving ni:» lights , and oilier protection ? , in and onthe river side for the protert :on of sailors ' lives.

Mr. J. F.gan agreed with Dr. Mackesy, and it wasdirected that the neceb -ary requirements- should atonce be \ rocured.

M U ;I > AU :N ASY I .I ' M .It was unanimousl y agreed that a p lot of ground

adjoining the Mag dalen Asy lum , should lie leasedto the l?ev . Mr. C'rotty, at the yearl y rent of one gui-nea , to he added to the asy lum.

Mr. Reid spoke in warm terms of the advantage ofgranting the plut of ground for such a purpose.

Alderman Slaney said the asy lum was an invaluableinstitution—it greatl y in -proved the morality of thecity, and , ('.wing to S U M P incidental observations asto the amount of rent) said , you should not use strin-gent terms where such good has been and is beingeffected. You cannot dispose of your funds betterthan in the regeneration of the morality of the city(hear, hear.)

Mr. Lalor said there were at present thirty-oneinmates in the asylum , and it was trul y edify ing towitness the industry, good and quiet conduct thatprevailed amongst all. The establishment should re-ceive every encouragement from all public bodies inthe city. There were coutentand happ iness app arentamong all—they were industrious—their behaviourwas edify ing, and he hoped no opposition would hegiven to the encouragement of such an iuvaluableinstitution.

Mr. Cooko said the lease should be given to Mr.dotty, solely for the benefit ot the asy lum , as hesaid Mr. Cooke, is, like ourselves, not to live forever.

It was then finall y arranged that the lease be givento the Rev. Mr. Crotty and the managers of the asy-lum , for its sole use and benefit, at the yearl y rent ofone guinea.

• ¦ conrouATi: pnorr.RTY.An app lication was read from Mr. John Mullow-

ney, of Arnndcl-sqnare, proposing to take some pre-mises in Milk-lane, adj oining his bake-house, at therent of £6 a year.

After a good deal of discussion on such applications—without due notice—it was agreed that the lettingshould be advertised , not , however , without a division ,the numbers being, for the app lication 11—for pub-lic competition 11.

RF.VAI I tS OF ROAD.Mr. S. T. G rubb moved , and Mr. Clarke seconded

that a certain portion of the road at Fcrrybank shouldbo contracted for its repair, for three years, at ,£-13Si. l id. per year !

Mr. l'u reel I said they should advertise in this caseas well as in Mr. Mullowney 's—in his opinion theroad could be kept in repair at an expense of onl y£5 a year, he should , therefore, move that they ad-vertise for tenders for keeping it in repair for throeyears.

Capt. Newport seconded the motion. Such ofi-hand work might lead to jobbing (hear). lie didnot accuse Mr. Hudson of any such charge, butothers might do so—there was nothing fairer thanpublic competition.

The motion wa=i carried with onlv one dissentientvoice.

C ITY SIir.RirrAI.TY.The town clerk read a letter from the Lord Lieu-

tenant's private secretary, in reply to a. communi ca-tion from the council , stating that it was usual forthe judges of Assize to recommend persons to fill theoffice of sheriff, and that it was his excellency 's in-tention not to interfere with their discretion.

A letter was also read from Jud ge Moore , addressedto the Mayor, stating that he should lay before thejudges at their next meeting, the letter he received onthe subj ect.

Mr. Purcell—I move that all these letters MI:under the table (laug hter).

lMri i OVF.MI '.NT MM..Mr. Thomas V. Carroll , Mayor 's clerk , read the

report of the committee on the " improvement bill ,"on which a lengthened discussion took place. Thefollowing is the report , which , after some discussion ,was ordered to be inserted on the minutes :—/We, the Cnnimitti'C uf tlie .nnlirr Council. nppuintiM tn (.•in-

Mr. Denny suggested that a copy of the bill , be-fore any further proceedings be taken , shall be sentto the Chamber of Commerce. It was desirable thatthe approbation of the citizens generall y should beobtained before coming to any final decision on thematter (hear).

Alderman Davis said—You may receive the re-port, enter it on the minutes, and reject all its clausesafterwards if- you think proper (hear).

CORPORATE ARREARS.Mr.'T. Miirphv inoved that the Borough Treasurer

be directed to give a return at the next council , of allrents and arrears of rent , due to the corporation upto the 29th of September, with the names of thetenants owing same. He said h? had not for the lasttwo years received a copy of the langable, which ,According to the act of parliament, should be printed-_ .i .i:.._fi.... -J L.uv. ' '

Captain Newport heard that various persons wereconsiderabl y in arrear, and it was absolutely neces-sary that their names should he published , and thatthose ¦persons should be made pay up at once. Heseconded the motion.

The Mayor having put the question , it was passedunanimously.

" TIII : rfcoTcsT."The Mayor read the following notice of motion by

Mr. John A. Ulake, to the effect nx follows :—" Thatthe protest of certain members of the council againsttlte presentati on of an address to her Majesty fromthe Mayor , Aldermen , and Burgesses, determined ata meeting of the council, held on the. 30th of August,1853, shall be taken into consideration , and suchmeasures adopted relative thereto , as the councilmay. umlcr tho circumstances of the case, call fur."

The following is a copy of the protest , which wassigned by twelve members, five of whom W K R C NOTI'ltrsr.sT when the address was adop ted :—

" We hope mul trust that your lordship, in the exerciseof your jud gment , as state secretary, will feel your-self justified in withholding * the niMrcsM, an(l not presentit (in its present form) to her Majesty.

" (Si gned), kc, &c" AVatcrfon], 30th Au ^u .st, 18S3.''Mr. O'Reill y asked Mr. Blake what his intention s

were with respect to him.Mr. Blake—When you arc found in bad company,

like the stork in the fable, you must expect to sharothe same fate as them (laug hter).

Mr. O'Heill y—If the council pass a vote of thanksto me I shall thank them for it, if a vote of censure Is!::iil de :ptse it (laughter).

Mr. Blake then spoke rts follows :—Mr. Mayor andgentlemen of the council , in pursuance of the inti-mation which I gave at the last meeting, of myintention to bring the matter relative to the protestunder the consideration of the council , I will claimthe indulgence of your patient attention , while 1 willendeavour to .,lay before you my views on the matter ,as well as the reasons which I conceive ought to in-duce a large majority of the members present tounite with me in passing the resolution which I shallhereafter propose, and althoug h 1 must confess (haton the last day I did feel some annoyance at thecourse which you , sir, thought proper to adopt inpostponing the proceedings,, still on the whole J amrejoiced that it was done , as it has given the partiesagainst whom we complain the opportunity whichsome of their sympathisers sought for, of pre-paration for meeting the charges against them , andbesides, by affording myself, and those who agreewith me in opinion , time for reflection , it must to aconsiderable extent have had the effect of guardingus against coming to a hasty jud gment on the matter.Of myself I will only say that i have never alteredthe op inion on the subject which I first formed ,unless, indeed , I except some increase of indi gnationwhen I became aware of tho full terms of the protestwhen it was produced on the last day of meeting,and which feeling has if possible increased , the more1 have thought over the matter ; and although y ield-ing to the advice , indeed , I may say with truth , to thesolicitation of older and wiser heads than my own ,I have been induced to modify both my commentson the conduct of the protesters, as well as the reso-lution condemnatory c( them. Still I must in can-dour say, that for this I deserve but very little credit;even at this moment it is not without a strugg le withmyself that I give up my original intention. For Itel l the protesters plainl y that so strongly do I feeltlte indi gnity ivhicli 7 conceive they offered the coun-cil by their act, as well as tho infringement they at-tempted on its rights , that if left to myself I wouldconsider it my incumbent duty to those whom I repre-sent, even if I stood alone , instead of being supportedby every independent minded nnd unprej udiced manpresent to day, as I expect I will be, to come forwardand condemn in as strong terms as either pen ortongue could convey, thu proceedings of these gentle-men. And I may here remark that if I ever oncewavered in my determination to do so, the ofleusivd ytriump hant tone of the individual whose signatureheads the protest , at a time when ho antici pated t .iatthe weight of ill's grea t name, and the strength of hisrepresentations would have secured it a diii'iTcnt re-ception—as well as his threat on the last day of meet-ing that if I again broug ht the matter forward hewould ba compelled to make remarks and statementsabout me of a character unp leasant for me to hear ,added to intimidations of a similar kind which he hassince uttered , and which I believe lie intended shouldreach my ears, made me resolve to meet him hero to-day to force from him whatever he had to say againstme, and to change him besides with another act towhich I shall hereafter more particularl y allude , andwith with which I am happy to believe none otherbut himself will be found to have had any connexion.And although he has affected a commiserationamounting to 'contempt for my lenderyears , still 1 amvery much mistaken , if before the close of this day 'sproceedings he will find that he has not had such aCII ICKKN to deal with after all (laughter.) [Thisnoteof defiance seemed to afford Mr. lilake 's friends greatsatisfaction , and was followed by considerable ap-plause.J Having now disposed of the first part of thematter , I will endeavour to lay aside all circumlocu-tion and before commenting on them , to lay before youas clearly as I can , what I consider to be the realfacts of the case. On the 30th of August , at ameeting of this council , conveyed I believe for thepurpose, after considerabl e discussion on both sides,it w.'is resolved to insert in the congratulatory ad-dress then voted to her Majes ty, a prayer for theextension of ths royal prerogative of mercy, towardsWilli.Kii Smith O'BnW and the othar Irish politicalexiles. After having been forwarded in the usualmanner, the Mayor received a communication whichwas read on the last day, from tho Earl of Granvillestating that the address as well as a protest againstits presentation , signed by certain members of thecouncil , had been forwarded to Lord Palmerslon asthe Secretary of State for the Home Department , forhis consideration. And this beyond a mere rumourwas the first intimation which either the Mayor orcouncil received that a minority of the councilhad thought proper to make an attempt to have theact of the maj ority set aside. And in a word hadendeavoured to take advantage of the position whichthe citizens had conferred on them , to prevent theexpression of the wishes of the rery great majorityof them from reaching licr Majostv , conveyed asitwa3in the address of the MLVO I-, Aldermen and Bur-5resscs. And* I entertain very litt le doubt thatnearl vevery man who calmly nnd dispassionatel y considersthe whol e question , will come to tl t c same conclusionas I have done, namel y, that ths act was a violationof all the rules and forms which should govern anassembly like ours—a proof of bad taste—an indica-tion of intolerant feeling—and an insult to thocouncil , and throug h thi-in to the citizens , IV1IO.IL>frelii " ; are notoriousl y in unison with the spirit ofthe address . Claiming and asserting the right of freethoug ht and independent action , I do not seek for amoment to deny the right which those gentlemen hadto vote on all questions in the manner which theirj ud gment ami conscience might dictate—nay, I willeven go further and say that it is the undoubted rightof member.", or even a single one , to enter a protestacainst any part of the proceedings in which theydisagree—such a course has been pursued before,and had it been adopted on the late occasion so faras expressing their own dissent from the act of ths

•council , and stating their reasons for so doing, itwould not in the sliehest degree have been informal,or even disrespectful to the council ; but their con-duct as a minority, in clandestinel y attempting tocounteract: the deliberate decision of the council ,(the very secresy with which it wus done betray ingin itsel f consciousness of wrong), as well as dictatingto the government the Course which they should pur-sue regarding it , was an act at once insolent andtyrannical in the highest degree towards the council—most presumptuous towards the government—insolent , and tyrannical towards the council ,because of their endeavour to have the act andwishes of tlie major ity set aside and superseded bythem, the minority—for the question will naturallyoccur to any one, what would be the use of a majorityon any question , if it was for ever to be overruled bya minori ty (bear, hear) ?—and their' conduct wasmost presumptuous to the government hi attemptingto dictate \v|iat <!u>i 1 * be done, ns it) it vras actuall y .

unable itself to determine on the propriety of thecourse which it should adopt in the matter. I willnot here dwell on the injurious effect which theirproceeding, if successful , would have been likely tohave had over the fate of those for whom theexercise of the prerogative of mercy was sought,as we may well imagine that such would have beenvery likely to have been the case, preventing as itwould the royal attention from being called to thefeeling of sympathy which exists for the exiles, andwhich it document like the address would have hadmuch more chance of aoing from the greater ¦proba-bility of its being read by Her Majesty, than the usualmemorials on such subjects, which , generally speak-ing, never reach the eye for which they are intended.Soiiie of these gentlemen have made large professionsof their wish to see mercy granted, and their readi-ness to j oin in a memorial to that effect on a properoccasion, and I will onl y remark , that the occasionwas a proper one, is to my mind evident to a demon-stration. The Queen either came to Ireland as a pri-vate lady, or as the reigning monarch. It ' as uprivate l?tdv her privacy should not have been in-truded on, and there- -' 'mul d have been no address.But she came i:i all the posnp and circii 'rHtauce ofroyalty, as the CJm.-u ii of tiie realm, and iu that capa-eity invited her subje cts to make known their wishes,an j that t!i'.' occasion was a proper one, and the con-t-.'nts unobject ionable is still further proved by its re-ception ; and I can well imagine how very smallthese gentlemen must now appear even to themselveswhen their great solicitude to preserve her Maj estyfrom a knowled ge of the wishes of her subjects, ona matter so dear to their hearts, as well as their ownprofessions of ultra loyalty, was treated with the in-difference which it so well merited , and the honest ,manly sentiments of the council as expressedin their address received in its stead , andacknowledged by roynl command. And hereI will take the opportunity of ollc .ring thehumble tribute of my praise for this act, creditablealike to the wisdom and good fcfj ling of her Majestyand her advisers , dictated , I haj,fe no doilbt, on herpart by that true queenly feeling' which so latelyprompted that hearty recognition of the claims whichour great countryman , William Dargan , possessedon the gracious consideration of a sovereign anxiousto honour one who like him has contributed so muchto the true progress and welfare of Ins country. It isby acts like these that the fealty and affection of anoble , true-hearted race like our own may h? obtained.A fealty based on neither sel fishness or slavishnos*,but spring ing from that gratitude for kindness,and that instructive loyalty which has ever distin-guished the Irish people, proved by the noble devo-tion , the gallant bravery with which they followedthe fallen fortunes and foug ht and died in the despe-rate cause of one of the most unworth y mnuarchsthat ever filled the British throne, the weak andpusillanimous James the II., in return for somefavourable disposition which he evinced towards thiscountry at the communccment of his reign; andalthoug h fV.il a century and half had elapsed fromthat period up to the occasion of lierpv^cntMajesty 'svisit during which the unfortunate Irish suffered anamount of civil and religious persecution , at whichhumanity shudders and of which the whole history ofthe world does not afford a parallel , jmd which solong a< Irish blood flows- in human veins can never beforgot ten ; still we all remember the enthusiastic joywith which that event was hailed from one end of thei.slaiid to the other, prompted by the antici pation ofhaving a sovereign whose early promise of the pos-session ofa kindly disposition added to the solicitouscare which had been taken to prepare lier for theduties and responsibitio s of her hi gh position thatunder her reign the wants and rights of her Irish sub-jects would be attended to—a hope , however , whichI am pained to say, without pausing to onqutrewhose fault it may be, is far indeed from being evenpartiall y realised. To return to the subj ect of theprotest , I would wish particularly to call the atten-tion of the council to tlie manner which it was com-posed. The authors of that document lay strongstress on the circumstance of there being onl y amajority of three in favour of the address—tlie num-ber being nine to twelve—and that subsequently asmany as the latter were formed to protes t against it.Now it must be borne in mind that at the meetingon the 30th of August , the liberal party were notproportionatel y represented, and that if the leasttrouble was taken or the slightest exertion made ,the measure which I then proposed would have beencarried by full y two to one. And fn the next place,these gentlemen who arc such sticklers for form mustbear in mind , thkt even if tbe tyi es tMn vras carriedby onl y a majority of one, that it was as much anact of the council as if there were forty. And inthe next place, after all! the industry and exertionwhich we must give the withors of the protest cre-dit for using, still out of a council of forty onlytwelve names could be found to sign it. And a.s aproof of how littl e these allowed their judgment toguide them in their proceeding; I believe not evenone of them at tlie time had seen the documentagainst -.vhich they protested , both address and pro-test having been prepared and sent oil' together , andfive out of the twelve were not present at the debateat all , and therefore knew tui 'h 'ug j icisonally of theni-i't f- ¦: !:LI. Miuy protested against ; two of tliegentlemen who originally voted with the protestershaving very much to their credit be it said , so farretrieved the error the}- fell into (and which I hope alittle reflection would have saved them from), by re-fusing to countenance a matter so disrespectful to thebod y to which they belonged , and out of that twelvethere are some who have told us that they neverread the very document which they signed , or au-thorised their names to be attached, and others willendeavor to make us believe that indeed TIIKY DIDNOT MI ;AN , what it is very plain to the commonestunderstanding that that document meant, and in-tended very strong ly to convey ; and there are otherswho when ' they expected that their names wouldnever come tu light , led us to believe that theirnames were not attached to it , until its productionon the last day at my instance has lefc them in thevery enviable position of explaining the predica-ment in which they now find themselves.

[Here there were loud cries of name, name .The Mayor said that under the circumstances ,

Mr. Blake was not called on to name.Mr. Blake however said that as they were anxious

for him to name, he would name Mr. Samuel Grubb ,as he was present.

Mr. Richard Cooke here rose and proceeded to saythat Mr. Gubh had authorised him to attach hisname and appealed to the latter gentleman if suchwas not the case, to which Mr. Grubb assented.

Mr. Blake—Aid. Cooke , I did not for a momentdoubt you when you made the same statement here onthe last day, and needed no better authority for thetruth of what you said than your own , but you havenothing to say to the statement which Mr. Grubbmade to me and which he canr.ot with truth attemptto deny. These are tho ciremmtancos. On the Sun-day after .the meeting he met i>.ie tv'i >rrainnj -e. andvolunteered to tell me that he had not signed the pro-test ; I said, " but taka care you did not tell yourname to be put to it , for that would be quite as bad."" No, indeed ," replied Mr. Grubb , " and if any oneput my name to it they had no right to do so, as Iwould be. very sorry to do anything of tho kind"(hear , hear. ) I am ready to swear if necessary thatthis .statement was made by him (Mr. G.,) and sub-sequentl y en ihe protest appearing with his name toit , I asked him to exp lain how it came to be there ;] y v said that I must have misunderstood him , which I(,,ld him both then as well as I do now that he knewt)>at there was no misunderstanding on my part.

After sum;* Mbscrvaliom froin Mr.Grubb to the effectthat he had <i t: t .'ioiise (t Mr Cooke to 4)111 hi.s name totlie protest if it contained nothing disrespectful to thestate prisoners ,] Mr. Blake resumed. There arc thenames of some attached to tlnit protest too, who,bound to the parly with whom I am acting by strongties, might have been pxpuctei to have acted diifui-cntly. I will not , however, dwel l upon a matter sopainful , for no mote bitter misfortune can fall upon aman than to have to mourn the defection of those whoshould have been found1 battling by his side, and I feelbesides that their own inward condemnation forthe course they have pursued must be a strongerone than even I would be disposed to pronounce.As the gentlemen who got up the protest have mainlysought to justify themselves by the precedent of aformer protest , which emanated from some membersof this body, against the grant of a reversionurylease of certai n property of the corporation, and as Iexpect that case will again be quoted in justification ,I will venture to trespass on yout '»ttention u littlelonger, while I endeavour to showyou that neither intiie principle which they were fbu'troed, or in tlie mo-tives which actuated the concoctpra - (to bororw aphrase from the other side) was

^then any anal ogy

whatever. The first protest relate j to a matter inwhich the intsre-jts of the corporation werz vitally

concerned,-and \of which the protestors vere theguardians and trustees, and as such were bound bytheir oath to protect it from what they conceived wasa misappropriation ; the authors of that protest didnot so much oppose the act of the council on thatoccasion, on the principle of the measure as on thedetails relative to a sufficient value having been ob-tained for'the property, and which they strongly main-tained had not. Nor did the principal author of thatprotest seek to prevent investigation on the subject,or to employ any other than fair, open , legitimateagency to carry his viewa, nor to influence the treasuryby any other means than a plain open statement ofthe real facts of the case. There was no endeavouron his part to cushion the memorial sent to the Lordsof the Treasury on that occasion , or to prevent it fromreaching its destination , as in the present instance.No, everything was fair, formal, and above board ,and notwithstanding all this, I well remember thatamongst the most violent denouncers of that protestwere nearly ell the gentlemen whose names arefound tobe.attached to the late one. They declaredit was an insul t to the council , an outrage on its rights,they all joined in one beagle-tongued cry againstMr. Power for liis presumption , and the very gen-tleman who, on the last day of meeting here, showedsuch sympathy for the present protestors, by hoggingthat I would not drag their names before the public ,was so irrate, that he declared if the request thenmade to have, the protest inserted in th."* corporationbooks, was complied with , that he woul d leave thecouncil , and I will recollect the indignation , not un-mingled with contempt , which I felt at the conductof many of my new colleagues , for it was the firstday I entered this room as a member, for the zealwith which they ran to see who would be the firstto move for the expulsion of the obnoxious document ,the race being won by one of the late protesters ; andit was accordingly taken from the table, and I mightalmost say, literall y flung in Mr. Power's face, andwhy ? Becaiue, to his honour be it said, he had themanly honesty, the unflinching courage, and thecreditable public sp irit , to stand forward to protestagainst an .act, which his conscience told him was in-jurious to the interests which he had sworn to protect.So much for the toleration ! and consistency ! of thesegentlemen , when it suits their purpose to be otherwise.What I have just detailed were the facts and meritsof the former protest, but the one we have now todeal with is very different , indeed , in its character.The matter which these latter gentlemen protestedagainst was one I contend purel y of feeling anddiscretion , the only true way of accrtaining whichwas by a vote to be determined by a maj ority of theassembled council ; and this having been done , Iconsider , as 1 b-jfore observed , that it evinced anabsence of good taste, right feeling, and an utter dis-regard for all form and regularity, for a tyrantminority—as these protestors were—to retire evenbefore they could be aware of the contents of thedocument which they objected to , and to endeavourto set aside the deliberate act of the maj ority of theircolleagues, and if the}' would only have the candourto confess the i-eal cause oi' their objection , I thinkit would be found that it rested on no better groundsthan the mere personal pi que of the authors of thatprotest , because we would not take their "i pse dixit "on a matter which they assumed to possess a superiorknowled ge, because indeed we would not accept their" dictum ," as to what was proper to put into an ad-dress to royalty, or what was not. And regarding us,as no doubt |these celestials did , as " poor outwardBarbarians ," as the " mere Irish ," they resolvedthat we shoul d bu snubbed , aye, and very properl ytoo, for our presumption. What could poor devilsJike. us know of such mutter. We held no honoursor emoluments from the British government , not oneof us ever climbed the " Castle Backstairs ," or thrustour ungainl y bodies into a court suit , and bent ourstiff necks in I I .U X K Y H U M I L I T Y to power at a vice-regal levee. No ! we had not qualified ourselves forthe task to address royal ty by the performance ofany of these, and therefore we could not do anythingwith propriety. Whatever we would write withouttheir assistance must of a necessity be offensive, andtakinj: this for granted , they waited not to see whatwe did do, but almost before it was done wrote a pro-test against it , and after all , the address that weadopted , and which even I wrote was received byher Majesty at the instance of the Home Secretary,even after he had heard all about me. And whatwas there in it after all ? A courteous and respectfulwelcome to her Majesty, a prayer for her happ inessand prosperity, a hope that she would often comeamongst us, and au>cutreaty that she would restore totheir CQiiutry, men j vlio had loved und suffered somuch for it (cries of " hear hear/') Thislast they alleged as their objection , because itwas producing political matter according to TIHUHideas. But I tell them , and I contend , that fromone end of that address to the other , there was noteven one line of political matter. We onl y prayedfor thu exercise, of the noble and humanu prerogativeof mercy, in favor of Irish gentlemen of the highesthonour , and the purest patriotism , prisoners in the.power of her Maje sty. We did not either defend orextenuate their offence, no allusion was made eitherto their politics or our own , we sought but for tln-irrelease, the release of men whose onl y crime was aperhaps mistaken love of country. Men whosemotives had elicited the admiration , and their fl itethe commisseration of every noble and sympathisingmind , the most earnest , the most gifted , and thebest loved of them all , a fellow citizen too of ourown. We sought but for them the same mercy whichhad been granted to criminals convicted of the mostrevolting crimes, after undergoing not more thanhalf the punishment already endured by the Irishexiles. We asked but for the exercise of the samemercy which the go vernments of m.'itiv other civi-lized countries had extended to political offenders assoon as the period of political excitement had passedaway, a wise and humane princi ple on which eventhe British Government had acted , in the case ofthe Canadian or Pap inean rebellion , and even raisedsome of the chiefs of that movement to the highestoffices in their country. But there , sir, there wereCanadian representatives of the people like tho Wa-terford protesters to interfere between her Maje sty,and the exercise of her noblest preogative (greatapplause from the anti-protesters). There remainsanother matter connected with this affair which Ialluded to at the commencement of my obse rvation!:,and which I approach with considerable difficultyfrom the circumstance of being more intimatel yconcerned than any one else, lest it might be sup-posed that the observations which I am about tomake are influenced by personal feeling. I can how-ever say with truth that such indeed is far frombeing the case, as if I had onl y mere personal feel-ings to consul t in the matter , I woul d at once sitdown , as personally I could not and do not enter-tain any other sentiments regardi ng both the act andthe author, than those of the most profound , unmiti-gated contempt (loud cries order, order, name). 1am not out of order and when I have mentioned thoact you shall have the name too, and I have littledoubt that when you have heard the former thatthere is scarcely a man present to-day of any party,even you, gentlemen conservatives, differing withme as you do on many points, and opposing me, as Iexp'j et you will to-day, to tho very utmost, I willseek no other verdict than yours to proclaim that theact (unless the individual .who perpetrated it ex-p lains it away, ns he will have the opportunity to-day), as one which no one possessed of a singlemanly or honourable instinct would be guilty of—evincing as it did a meanness, malignity and treache-ry, more characteristic of a detective than of anyone claiming even a solitary attribute of a "r entluman(great sensation and renewed cries of order) .

The remarks which I made on state my opinions above board, I feel great^Eijurethe occasion , in question were made in the right of in-seconding Mr. Blake's motion. Aiutl consider itmy privilege as a free citizen, to express my views a disgrace to the gentlemen who concocted that pro-upon any question under discussion, in any assembly test, and particularly to the. gentleman who sent offto which I might belong, I dissented from the mat- Mr. Blake's speech to the Larl ot .Uraayille, with th9ter when proposed, and therefore spoke against it, view, as he thought, of having a prosecution for sedj-and perhaps gave my reason pretty freely, for doing tion against Mr. Blake.

Mr< Grubb said on the 30th of August, when theI would be glad if they would favour me with their address was adopted , he was obliged to leave theideas on what is sedition , and what is loyalty, as I meet ing of the council as he was about to start foropine they must be original indeed. If these gentle- Dublin.

Under that pro-Cambridge, they would find that my sedition is thatwhich is there instilled into the future legislators ofEngland , and written more than fifty years ago byonu of the most learned divines, profound philoso-phers, staunch Protestants, and loyal subje cts thatGreat Britain ,ever possessed, the great DoctorPaley. These loyalists wonld be astonished to findthen the duties of the Soverei gn to the subject laiddown thereeven in stronger terms than I attempte d todo, as well as the rights of the latter, in the event oftheir interests not being attended to, and perhaps itwill astonish these learned gentlemen , still more tobe told that my sedition is that on which the veryconstitution of these realms is founded , and whatwill n:: think who took such trouble to bring meunder the notice of Lord Pit lmerston , when I tellhim , that if my humble remarks met his Lordship'seye, it was only to remind him that mine were thevery princi ples which have guided his conduct asa statesman , during his long, brilliant , and usefulcareer, and which ho has endeavoured to instil,into the hearts of every potentate and people, withwhom he has had to do, from Naples to Bergen , andwhich induced the British Cabinet mainly at hisinstance , to support the revolutionary governmentsof Spain , France, Greece, and Belgium, and ledthem to regard with a friendl y eye the insurrectiona-ry movements in Hungary, and the Italian Penin-sula , and which , for the sake of the noble peopleinvolved , as well as for ths cause of human liberty,and true progress, we must mourn were successful.And to her honour and disgrace , be it said the wiseand benevolent policy, founded on this princi ple, hasbeen generall y carried out by England , in all her re-lations with every country over the broad earth , un-less with a strange perversity with that part of herown great empire, called Ireland. So much then forthe effect which my remarks were likel y to have onthe Home Secretary, and I mistake that sagacious ,well-intentioned nobleman much , but thatif the sametrouble was taken to send him the account of thisday 's proceedings as the last (but which I doubt verymuch will be done), and that he could hut find timefrom his very important duties to read them , that hewould devoutl y sigh for the day when circumstanceswould arise, calculated to inspire a love for Britishrule , in other hearts, and render its maintenance un-necessary, by the aid of such instruments as LordClarendon 's head pacificator in '-!8, the compli-nientor of his most determined foe, in 'oii (hear) .Her Maj esty 's Deputy-Lieutenant of the city otWaterford—th e disinterested , consistent , chivalrousCaptain Simon Newport—from whom 1 now beg toinform you all I derived my information as to myremarks having been scut to Government , a revela-tion made to me at a time when , judging by hisformer experience and influence , he antici pated thatmy freedom of thought would procure for me a duecurtailment of that most 'hiestimable blessing for myunfortunate body, a most creditable proceeding, whichI am willing to believe, and anxious to hear , that hewas alone concerned in ; and I am sure we must allmourn that we have fallen on such evil days, whenthe foremost name iu the protest , and the soleclaimant FOII ALT , THE CI.OU Y of the transactionwhich I have j ust detailed , was allowed to go withoutthe rich reward which ho antici pated , and so welldeserved , and , worse still , the address which I hel pedto frame received and acknowled ged. And althoug hthis gentleman lays claim to the advantage of ageover me, yet I pray Heaven that I may never growold, if I will have to look 'back upon my path in lifestrewn with vile apostacies , mean shifts, and paltrydissimulations ; and that if instead of endeavouringto eleva te ni}- countrj', J ha ve only sought to profitby her distractions , and to batten on her misfor-tunes, and abandoning the legitimate exercise ofthe faculties which Providence has given mefor the attainment of an honourable existence.I have turned and twisted , renounced my manhoodand assumed every caineleon hue to crawi my way tothe achievement of a place-beggar 's dole, or winsome glittering bauble and pocket the paltry stipendattached , or more base still to carry the reptilesimile a little further to 'watch vampire-like for spe-culation upon , and found my hopes of prosperity ona kinsman 's death . [Here a scene of tremendousexcitement ensued, several of the Conservative mem-bers calling on the Mayor to put an end to languageof such a highly personal nature.]—[The Mayorsaid that he would have done so before but that he didnot feel himself bound to do so, unless it was statedto him that the expressions used by Mr. Blake appliedto any member of the couucil, and as this had nowbeen done, he would request that Mr. Blake wouldavoid using language which might be consideredpersonal.] Mr. Blake resumed—It is not my iat iJr ,sir, if these gentlemen insist that my obser-vations app ly to one of their number, and asI .should be sorry indeed to embarrass you, Iwill not dwell any further on this part of thesubject than \o say that I will waste no morewords on him , who hns called forth, and more thandeserved , all I have said , but I will leave him to theworst species of punishment, the scorn of every ho-nourable mind , and his own sense of conscious de-gradation. [Here there were counter cries of orderand applause]. I will now conclude as I began witha confident hope, that a large number of those presentwill be found to j oin with, me in vindicating the dig-nity and rights, of the body to which we belong, byrecording their disapprobation of the course pur-sued by the protestors. I mainly senk . to found myargument , against that proceeding, from its violationof rule and form,' and . this I beg you will bear parti-cularly in mind. There are amongst the gentlemenwho protested , many honourable men , and good citi-zens, with some of them I have laboured to promotemore than one useful project, and there are f ewamongst them whom I would willing ly offend, butduty should know no failing of the heatt. I am nowdealing with their act only, and regarding it in thelight I do, and opposing, as I have ever done, intole-rance, no matter in what shape it appeared , or fromwhat quarter it might pj oceed, I would despise my-self for ever if I did not come forward, to con-demn this act. I have done so, regardless ofthe unpleasantness it entailed and the disadvan-tages which may result to myself, the government ontheir part have done well , it remains now for you todo yours. I have resolved that the matter shouldstand or fall on its own merits, I asked no man tocome here and vote on the question to day, no onewas aware of a single observation which I intendedto make, so let all the responsibility of them rest onmy own head , as well as the resolution which I amabout to propose, and which was not seen until Ientered this room, and for which I have not evenprovided a seconder, leaving it entirely to your ownjudgment and feeling, whether it will even obtain somuch support.

[Mr. Blake then concluded amidst much applausefrom his own side of the house, by proposing thefollowing resolution] :—

Resolved—That whilst We admit the perfect right ofevery member of this Council to dissent from any portionof our proceedings, and concede that the minority whodisapproved of the Addrws adopted to her Majesty bythis body on the 30th of August last might have beenjustified in forwarding a separate document for presenta-tion, expressive of their, own views, and the reasons fortheir dissent—we feel ourselves imperatively called'upon,in the maintenance of tho rights and digaities of the

visohe did authorise them to put Ins name to the pro-test (hear).

Mr. O'Reilly said he signed the protest for theiereasons, that he did not recognise the proceedings ofthe council on that day, and in consequence of theintemperate language used on that occasion he leftthe council

Capt. Newport said language had been used byMr. Blake which one gentleman would not use toanother. His (Capt. N.'s) public character was wellknown—he was for twenty-eight years a member ofthat council, aud it was with pain he was then calledon to make any observations. If he used such lan-guage he would feel as if branded with a leproujdisease, and under the stigma of disloyalty (hear).Such language was an insult to the council , and toone of the best sovereigns that ever ruled this coun-try , and the sooner Mr. Blake made a retractation ofit * the better for himself. He (Capt. N.) regrettedthat the name of Her Majesty was brought in ques-tion , but the conduct which Mr. Blake used at thiscouncil , and towards the citizens at large, in abusingtheir belovee Queen (hear , aud cries of " oh, oh"),which stamped him as a disloyal man (laughter) ,obli ged him (Capt . N.) to speak strongly on it. Us(Mr. B.) abused the Queen , and made comparisons,to her prej udice, with a foreign sovarcign, w.ho hesaid in Ireland's affliction gave double what she didto relieve her people's wants (hear). He (Mr. B.) in-insulted tho Queen—he, (said Capt. N., with gnatemp hasis) he shewed disrespect and disloyalty to theQueen by his unwarranted language, and he (Capt.N.) was glad he signed the protest (hoar, hear)—herejoiced also in fathering that protest (hear). IfMr . Blake was in London when her Maj esty, Godbless her , was about to set out for Irelan d he wouldsee one universal feeling, from the peer down to thssweep, of love and affection toward s their belovedsovereign. Mr. Blake says he does not care if hisevery act was proclaimed through the streets, andplacarded on the hou»e to]) (hear, hear). His Ian-guage would not bear such publicity, as, for thetwenty-eight years during which he was a member ofthe council , he never heard more treasonable lan-guage (hear), and th.i t in the presence of the chiefmagistrate of the city (hear). He (Capt. N.) as amagistrate , should luivu at once silenced him and or-dered him to leave the room. (Mr. Blake—I repeatwhat I did say) — (hear). It would , continued Capt.N., be diflicuit to follow Mr. Blake, he spoke withsueh rap idity . Ho advocated the freedom of SmithO'Brien and others, who might well exclaim , " saveus from our friends" (hear , hear). Whim the Queencame to Ireland to benefit the artizans of this coun-try, Mr. Blake said she was not worthy of an ad-dress (hea r), however , to show his consistency, hewas afterwards the mover of an address to her ma-j esty (hear). But it was with an object (hear). Itreminded him of u nuai who invited another to din-ner for the purpose of asking a favour fromhim. [Mr. Purcell—That 's likcourchief magistrate*from whom we never got a dinner or anything else](laug hter.) The cream of the petition was the boonrequired (hear.) Mr. Blake should apologise to thecouncil and to the citizens of Waterfor d for the insultoffered to the Queen (" oh , oh"). Some peop le maylaugh, but every honest man will hoist his coloun(laug hter). It was quite p lain that Mr. Blake wastainted with disloyalty—hut the loyal people ofWaterford were able and willing to bear, what ?[Mr. Purcell—A cock and a bull story] (great laugh-ter). The onl y way -Mr. Blake could get out ef hispresent unp leasant position is by an ample apol ogyfor the language he had used (hear). His languagewns disloya l to tier Majest y , and lie(C<ipt. N.) defiedany one to controvert it (hear). He signed the pro-test, his name was at the top, aud he j- loried in it(laughter). If Mr. Blake did not apologise for thelanguage he used on the 150th of August , he (Cupt. N.)would hold no intercourse with him , directl y or indi-rectly, so, said Capt N., in conclusion, " 1 wish you »good morning " (laughter).

Alderman Cooke «aid the less the corporation hadto do with political matters the better . Any uersonthere who was present on the 30th of August , wouldsay that Capt. Newport as a magistrate , was justifi edin ordering Mr. Blake to leave the room (hear). MrBlake was a young man , and he would advise himin future, to study his words, in order that he shouldnot overstep the bounds of the law as he had done.He asked what is the crime of sedition. There i»such u crime, and he would read it for him. Mr.Cooke then read from a paper, what constitutes, thecrime ofsidition , nenrly as follows—"That any 'manwho publishes or utters contemptuous words calcu-lated to create disrespectful to the Sovereign, or tobring such into contempt , is liable to be indicted forsedition." Capt. Newport was justified in protest-ing against such language as had been used, and ifhe did not do so he deserved to be deprived of thecommission of the peace (hear). He, Aid. C, w»*at the head and tail of the document called " a pro-test." He drew it up—he did not consult any manabout it (hear)—not one of the gentlemen whosigned it—and lie would say that that document put«that of Vienna into the shnde—that was signed bythe six powers of Europe, cowards (hear), not on«of whom knew what they had- signed (hear, hear).The address—the adop ted address, had beensent off to Dublin , he supposed, in three _ghip»(laug hter)—front thence it was forwarded »Balmoral , but on going up the back stainthe protest shot it behind (laug hter), ond the .protest was received , and the address kickeddown stairs (hear, hear). Mr. Cookeheve read Lord 'Puhnerston 's letter, acknowled ging the receipt of th«address, a fortnight after it had been adopted. Theaddress , to welcome her Mnjcsty to Irelan d, was pre-sented at Balmoral to her , full y one fortnight after ytohad left the country. In 1849—he wished to remindthem of dates—th e corporation got up an addmi toher Majesty. That address was passed on thtjWti?.of August in that year, and «n the 6lh an answerV f*received , acknowledging that it was graciously rk-eeived bp her Majesty. In the present case—or,.onthe last address—there must have been somethinffwrong, when the acknwledgnient was BO long defer"red. [Mr. Lalor—There was no protest on that. cC'casion] (bear, hear).

LOSS 01' LIl-'K J5Y THE FLOODh.

Ab )'.'.t nine o'clock on Monday night as tliL' concli

was proceeding from Dunkit t t lation to Wateri 'orJ ,

the driver [Commins'") missed his way, owing to the

Hood which crossed t'ic road nearly opposite New

Rath , when his vehicle was overturned. The ni ght

was very dark , and the road was covered with several

feet of water. A traveller named Nay lor was drowned ,whilst the others—except the driver, who has not

since been heard of—escaped by the greatest dilliculty.

On Tuesday evening James Delahunty, E^q., coroner

held an inquest on. the bod y of Nay lor, when thej ur ,

very properly agreed that the authorities whose duty

it is to keep this road in repair, are responsible for

the death of this man ; and called on them to make

the road fit for travelling. We fear that a member of

the grand jury must be drowned before this is dont .

Near the place of the accident a drowned mule was

fij tind , a crate of fowl, and a woman's cloak.

FRIGHTFUL INUNDATION IN CORK.The tide and floods became so high in Cork or

Wednesday morning, that the streets were over-flooded , the shop* closed , and Patrick's-bridgc, onwhich eight or ten persons was standing, fell into thtriver. All were drowned. Soon after a blacksmithwhose house bad been carried away, was seen floatingdown the vivcr on. his—bed. Soon after a live tur-key came down perched on a tree.

LETTER FROM THOMAS FRANCISMEAGHER.

Our respected May or, THOMAS F. STR .VSOII, Esq.h.-.s received a letter from our exiled citizen , THOMAS

F. M LM OHKR, of which the following is a copy. Thefeelings of the hear t, the ineffacahlc recollection ofhis native home and his poor old country, the im-perishable wishes for Ireland's prosperity here givenutterance to in the patriot 's own burning language,must move the heart of the bitterest foe of the move-ment by which THOMAS FUANCIS Mr.A Giicu lost hischerished home and his country, and will kindleanew fresh feelings of soi row in the bosoms of thosewho are full y convinced of the loss this fragment ofa nation has sustained in his perpetual banishment.Further comment here would only detract from theunequ alled composition :—

ME TROPOLITA N HoTKt , N F.W YO RK ,October 10th , 1853.

Mr OF.AR Mu. M AYOR —From the first , it was myduty to acknowled ge the welcome which the citizomof Waterford gave my wife on her arrival amongstthem. The delay that has occurred, in the dischargeof that duty, will not be ascribed to a graceless neg-lect ; but prove, I trust , that the circumstance, whichcalls from me this expression of feeling, lias made alasting impression.

It is natural to speak promptly, where deli jr hf , orgratitude , or any other pleasurable sensation , is deeplywelted. But this promptitude, however strongly itmay indicate the intensity, fails to give an assuranceif the permanent nature, of the emotions. A fewwarm words—utterred when the occasion , to whichthey refer, has receded some distance from tinview—will demonstrate more surely the degree nn< ;permanency of the effect produced.

To me, 'thenj the cordial greetings, the goldenofferings, the written testimony bearing the ancientdevice of our city, with which you received the com-panion of my exile, were sources of the happiest inte-rest and reflection. Evidences of a friendshi p strongerthan time, and all the effacing influences which timeevolves—cling ing to one who has looked for Ihe las ttime on his native home—they recall me to the scenes,M'ing in groups before me the familiar fuees, and sorevive the gladness , th? srai -.-ly, iho ii-uits , -he fra-ijr.uice, the song, the sunshine of a. summer that hasnasscd.

Events that lead to such results , arc happil y dis-posed. Contact with men in tli o ruder relations oflife—contact with them in the wider world , wherecommerce, politic ;;, fashion , avarice , or adversity forcemultitudes to congregate—conduces to a knowled ge,which , in most cases, lessens our faith in the doinpsand susceptibilities of the world. This faith lessened ,perhaps too unjust a measure of distrust succeeds ;under the pressure of which we ourselves contractthe faults we reproved in others ; becoming wholl yincredulous, where we should be simp ly careful in ourconfidence ; and selfish , where it wasbut necesssary tobe prudent. It is fortunate for tho bette r impulsesthat have been implanted in our nature, that occur-rences now and then arise, to moderate the changewhich the darker asp'ects of experience work uponour disposition , our thoughts, and conduct.

That 1 have known these darker aspects ;have seen those clouds ; have counted theshadows tilt1)' cast , and been made sensibleof how cold they make the current that once waswarm and coloured with the brighter tints of life ;that such has been the case with me, it is not worthwhile lo saw Yet had itco inn to this, the proof whichhas been given in the city of my birth , that men canbe faithful to their earlier memories ; can cherishthem with an exhaustlcss constancy ; can perpetuatethem through all seasons ; can save them with a lov-ing watchfulness from every calamity and caprice ;this would have brought out the sun once more abovetho shadowed stream, and made the waters sparklethat were dull.

Confined to no one creed , or club, or circle; exclu-sive neither in the social , nor the political, nor thereli gious point of view ; contributed toby all classes,callings, persuasions, and professions ; comprehend-ing all ; exemplifying all ; the. welcome which ha.'called from inc. those; words, was especially gratefulto my mind. For as my conception , my desires, myhopes embraced every interest, every dwelling, everyaltur in the land ; as the future to which I looked,wai one in «~ iicii aii should hj (.'lotMfGi i, &nrl nonecast down ; so it hart happened, that the honour whichwas conceived in the like spirit , and rendered in thesame broad measure, was to me most dear.

For what you said and did in my regard, I heartilythank you. For what yon said and did in regard ofher, whom I love to sec honoured above mvseif, Iknow not how to thank you.

She hadcoinc from one uf the farthest islands whiclthrow their coral reefs, and the shadow of their painand pine trees, upon thcsnnds and solitudes of theSouth sea.* From the' hour in which she had lookedfor the last time upon the cross that shines in theclear sky above her father's roof, man}' nights had£0110 down over thu dec-p, before she stood amongstthose who had known her husband from his cradle.She approached you with tho timid footsteps of astranger. You went out to meet her ; and you wel-comed her ; and you made her feul at home, as afavourite daughter of the aged city. Fitting recom-pense, for her , who, in the depth of the forest—by theitill shore of a lake where tin: wild swan and diamond•nake were seldom scared , and the echoes in the cir-cling mountains never woke—strewed the hearth of;he solitary one with sweet herbs, and shed , as thought were from a jewelled lamp, gleam i of gladness on:hi> desolation !

Having spoken of the feeling from which emanatedtho reception you gave my wife, and the tokens offriendshi p with which you enriched her, it hardlybecomes nie to speak of the delicate taste and man-ner in which both were conferred. Divested of thegenial grace with which the act was adorned, it wouldscarcel y have been less gratif y ing to me. The re-finements of life contribute l i tt le to thuieal value of agenerous endowment. Yet it so rarely happens thatproceedings of a public nature are so distinguished ,hat it is refreshing to dwell upon ono instance at

least, in which the gentleness of society mingled with ,softened , beautified , and with di gnity invested theaction of the public sentiment.

Here lctim: rc.it. I have written much, and havesaid l i t t le . W n d s are at fault , wh.ira tlu b?art isfull. The painter who threw an impenetrable veilover the face of ths old man, knew host how to de-scribe great emotions. 1 leave pyou with the assu-rance , that as you have not forgotten me , neitherhave I forgotten yon.

Of Linneaus it has been said , that his fajhor. whenobli ged to leave him in his cradle , usud to put flowersin his hand, so that the- child might be soothed to.deep. The love they softly kindled , the impressions[hey gently wrought , led his mind , slowl y and mys.ten'ou-ily, to the study of that science, which has:ovcrcd" his grave with flowers that shall he everfresh , and full of beauty, and rich perfume , it i.-thus that the earliest impressions, if vividl y produced,will prove through life the most enduring.

>? Never, for a moment, since I heard her eveningbell for the last t ime, have I lost sight of that oldt'i'y by thu Suir ! Never have I ceased to think ofthat gentle river , as Spencer—himself a gentle poet—calls i t ! Never ceased to think of the mountain!),the ruins, the fields , the woods, which , like solitarysentinels or crowded camps, mark out its course fromtin; peak where it bubbles into light , to the grey abbeywhere the cadences of the three rivers—linked likethe graces of Canova—once mingled with the hymnsof the hooded choir !

We, how-ever, understand the assertion was sustained by theop inions of those talented artists who lately visitedimr city.

_(w^.e-—-_-- IlEVfS'rON OV THE BURGESS LISTS.

The cdurV for the revision of the burgess rol|opened on Wednesday, before the Mayor, M. Uob-byn , jun., and Pierse Kelly, Esqrs. There were Clclaimants for liberal burgesses to be inserted on theroll , and 9 for the conservatives.

For the last 11 years the revision court never ob.jeeted to service of notice of claim, by a thijjd party ;but on this occasion the court objected because Mr.Keogh, who prepared and sen-eel the notices iofclaim , had not the positive authority of the partiesfor doing so, before the day of service, namel y, the1st day of October ; notwithstanding which he hadthe approval of the different parties for whom heclaimed.

Messrs'. Peet and Ambrose acted for the conserva-tives, auel Mr. Keogh forthc liberals. Why not haveii professional gentleman to assist Mr. Keogh ?

To the Editor of the Watcrford News

Tramore, November 2, 1853.Sui—In your account of the proafediuj-j of the Bo.-u'i;

of Guardirius at last Thursday 's meeting, as reports I iithe Waterford Neios of October 2B, Mr. Burke said •' hihad written to the Commissioners to know if Mr. Dillon ,who had changed his residence from the elestoral divisionin wliich he resided when he was elected for that divi-sion , hud thereby become disqualified to act as guardian.Mr. Dillon rose in a rathei excited manner, and said thatMr. Kcily stated thotRev. Mr. Ciwtwell, P.P. ofTramorcjwas desirous of Iwving Mr. Power elected ; and when be(Mr. Dillon) npoko to Mr. Cnutwoll about tho matter, lieactually cried iluion tears, ami declared he knew nothingof it."

Now,sir, I beg leave to say distinctly that I neithersaid¦ •• 1 ki-cvr nothing of the matter," nor ''cried downtears,'1 on ;lie very moracmtou3 occasion. On the con-trary, I told Mr. Dillon that Mr. Kcily called ou mu inthu Sacristy of the (Jhapul of Corbally, and s;ud , us Mr.Dillon was disqualified lo act as guardian , by chauginghis rcttJeuce, he would move, on thu next meeting day oftho lieurd, that another guardian be elected in his stead ,and that he thought; Thomas Power woul.l bo fi fit person.I respectfully suggested to .Mr. Kuily, us Mr. Dillon isLord l'ortcscue's agcut, and iu a, great mcisuio hisrepie seututive here, that it was due to that n-.'bleman ,who always voted on the liberal side when a member ofthe llniisc of Commons, and who, yeai\3 ago, not onlygavo inu I'eraj i&aiutt jx) assure his tenants tlusy were ;nlJe'rfcct nboTl^iit^abl^nse~ofth^rchTtWt> 'frwwhj s>i hlfavour of the candidate i't wiioui they placed mo3t con-fi leiice ; buf ; as a further guarante-', sent them indi-viduall y a circular letter, stating they might vote ns theythoug ht proper during his life. Mr. Keily did write toliin J.ui'uahi p, fur which I thank him, but 1 must cun-fess- 1 felt , au'd do feel , a good deal annoyed for havingmy name at all introduced , as I considered Mr. Keily's:unversaiioa with me strictly private.

Having made this statement to Mr. DiMon , word forword as I now write it, I cunnot hut fear that the goodman'd memory was strangely affected by the great excite-ment he is reported to have laboured under at themoment. However, 1 feel quite satisfied Mr. Dillonwould be on«j of the last men to s:iy what he did notbelieve to bo true. When Mr. Keily spoke of Mr.Dillou'.-j disqualification , and the necessity of filling hispkue. at thu 13o.ml, I had no reason to think , nor have1 now, that he was influenced Dy any hostile or vin-dictive feeling towards Mr. Dillou. He t 'l lkrdofit asumatter of fact, and I took it as such. I shall say notliii sgof the silly assertion, "He cried down tears." Howuonsensteal!— how ridiculous !

One word iu reference to the election of guardiansand I Imvo done. It strikes mo that, experiencing tinworking of the Pour Law for many years, it is hi gh timethe ratepayers should open their eyes to the importanceof sending honest, dUiuturcsted , intelli gent men to theISo.ird of Guardians to protect their rights and interestsand tenderly look after tho poor. Aud hence I havemade up uiy mind not to interfere in their elections,uuluss where I perceive party or uudiio' pressure about tobe brought on the voters. Their duty U plaiu and openbefore them; it comes home to their pockets, untl thecomlbrt and well- being of the poor (soul and bod^

y)loudly call on tbem to discharge that duty houcstly andfearlessly, without being urged to it by me.

To tlic Editor of Ihu ffater fanl News.Wutdford, November 3, 18J3.

Sm—Can you inform me who will bo our next•Mayor? I find two ¦•uiit ieiuuu mo in tho field—one nnultra Tory mid the other an ultra Liberal. Neither oftliu.se gcnt li-men, 1 fear, wili answer. Wo do not want aTory (Jbiel' Magistrate for the ensuing year, after theirultra loyal display with r egard to the exiles. Then , willMr. r'eehiin bo the man to uuite all the liberals 7 In myopinion he will not; a itl it is absolutely necessary for theliberals t'i combine in order to keep out a tory.

Lot .Mr. iVehaii withdraw for this year, aud AldermanSlanoy, who will receive tho support of the entire liberal>j ody, bo p'.it^-foi'waiil, «j\<\ he will be returned triuin-phamljr. Mr. Slancy,',l believe, would not poclici oncI.eimy of bis salary, but the poor of the city (to whom hebus always been a beuetaetor) will receive the benefit olit Let tho liberals take warning iu time , or they willdiscover their error when it will be too late. We haveseen how the tories mustered at thu last Cuuncil ; butwhere wcro they when they o\ight to l«ne bei-n there7They were, as Aldermau Cook said, nun eat invc.ntus!

AWFUL OCCURRENCE—CORONER'S> INQUEST.

Utteretuve" THE INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT IN IRE-

LAND."By JOHN FRANCIS MAOUIRE , M. P., MAYOR OF

CORK.—We have to npologise to the learned author,

as we ought also to our readers, for not having notice*

ed this admirable work on Ireland and her manufac-

turing productshefore this. Wehaveread Dr. Kane's

" Industrial resources of Ireland"—a book of great

research and of much importance—but we confess

that Mr. Maguire's work seems to be infinitel y moreinteresting. And why ? Because it is natural in itsconstruction , and devoid of those professional techni-calities which render the best works more or less un-popular. When looking through this book—ad-mirable both as to typography and composition—wecould not hut feel astonished when we reflected thatthe man who penned it was, at one and the sametime, " a public journ alist, a member of parliament ,and a chiefmng istrateofalarge and populous city"—the second in Ireland. No Irishman—at all eventsno Irish family—should be without this book. Webegin by making extracts which, in some measure)refer to our own locality :—•

ALB AND tORTKIl.PtrftngmRn, Davis and Co. of WaterforJ , represent a

vast aud influential trade in Iceland, by the exhibition oftwo casks of ale and porter. It would be rather a diffi-cult matter to express any opinion as to the clitirac'er ofthe liquor from tlie appearance of the vessel in which itis contained ; besides, 1 must admit ray total injompe-tency to pronounce a judgment, in any shape, upon anarticle which is so popular, and B > largely consumed. Itis only necess ry to say, with respect to the Irish brewingtrade, that it is recovering from tbo serious injury whichit sustained by the temperance movement , and the re-newed depression in the years of famine ;. that its homeconsumption is very little interfered wi b

^by English ira -

por !a'ion—B:>ss' pile or bitter ale : ring the chief art 'e'ewhich finds anything like favour iu this country ; and thatthe Irish brcwirs.onthe coutiary, rlo u large and increas-ing business in England , and with foreign countriesCork porter. Droghcda ale, and Dublin stout, are wellknown aud highly appreciated out of Ireland. The firmsof Beamish and Crawford, and Lane, of Cork, and Guin-ness of Dub'in, are amongst the most eminent in theUnited Kingdom. Abbott of Cork also enjoys a hij-li re-putation. Thero are; besides, several prosperous brew-eries in the principal towns throughoot the country .Kinsale, B;»ndon, Fermoy, Youghal, Dungarvan, andmany others in the neighbouring counties, have each tln-irthriving brewery.

UOOK-rnWTING AND BINDING.To those who doubt that books can be printed or bound

in lrelund , ! s y, glance at tha publications of Hodgesnnd Smith , M'Gl.stian , GUI, and f Duffy, of Dublin, orNash of Cork ; or at the bindings of IHufy, or Shaw ofDublin, Guy of Cork, or Redmond or Soutberliuid of Wa-terfbrd. Something disparaging of Irish engraving; waspublicly asserted, nud in connection with, this exhibition.Take a fact as its best refutation. Not long since, a gentleman,» friend of mine, happened to be in the estab-lishment of a publisher in Dublin , and accidentally stum-bled on some parcels of a work loosely made up in sheet?.On looking moro clo3i-ly at them, he (bund they consistedof a work of travels, elegantly brought out, and illus-trated in the finest style of art. but bearing on the titlepage the nnme of an eminent publisher in London. Onmy friend expressing his surpriso at seeing such a workin an unfinished stat e in the warercom of a publisher inDublin, the quic', matter-of-fact reply of the Iriihpublisher was, that if tho work were known to be ofIrish origin, it would prove a failure ; and that hisguarantee for its sale wa3 the name of the English pub-lisher. As a matter of trade, he was compelled to sub-mit to the degradation. But tbo best proof th-it we canhave as to the artistic ability of tho Irish engraver , hasbeen afforded the visitors of our National Exhibitiou inthe ei»ht beautiful engravings published by their exhi-bitor, Thomas (.'ranfield of Dublin.

IRON SHIP-BUILDING IN WATERFOJID.When alluding elsewhere to the building of iron ships

in Ireland, I omitted, by some accident, to mention whathad been done at the " Neptune Foundry Works," inthe city of Waterford . This establishment, like the fac-tory in Cork , commenced its operations some ten yearssince, for effecting the necessary repairs to the steamships of the . Waterfbrd company, of which Joseph Mal-coenson is the distinguished head ; but, like the Corkfactory, it was also gradually extended, from the repairingto ths building of tho company's vessel?. Four ot thesehave t*«r already launched, and another has jj sfc beercommenced. The following are the dates, names, andtonnage of the vessels l>uilt:—

18>6 Neptune 690 tons.1848 Nora Creina 200 „1849 Mars ..800 „1853 Sylph 600 „

The new vessel is much the largest yet attempted,being 1,000 tons.

The number of hands constantly employed is about onehundred.

NAPOLEON'S ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUI-CIDE.

In Montholon's history of the captivity of Napo-leon at St. Helena, it is recorded that he twice at-tempted self-destruction, once early in his career, andagain in 1815. On the first occasion, his life wa3saved by Demasis, a former comrade in the artilleryregiment. Napoleon was then in Paris—depressedand suffering from illness. His mother having fledfrom Corsica, was at Marseilles, without subsistence,and had written to him for aid. Napoleon had no-thing but an assignut of an hundred sous. Relatingthis adventure to Montholon, Napoleon says :—

In a state of dejection I went out, as if urged tosuicide by an animal instinct, and walked along thequays, feeling my weakness, but unable to conquerit. In a few moments I should have thrown myselfinto the water, when I run against an individual dress-ed like a simple mechanic, and who recognised me,threw himself on my neck and cried, " Is it you, Na-poleon ?—What joy to see you again 1" It was De-masis, a former comrade of mine, iu the artillery regi-ment, He had emigrated, and had returned to Francein disguise, to see his aged mother. He was about togo, when stopping, he said, " What is the matter?You do not listen to me. You do not seem glad tosee me.^What misfortune threatens. You look tome like a madman about to kill himself."

This direct appeal awoke Napoleon's feelings, andhe told him everything. l( Is that all ?" said he ;opening his coarse waistcoat, and detaching a belt hendded " here are thirty thousand francs in gold ; takethem and save your mother." " 1 cannot," said Na-poleon, " to this day exp lain to myself the motivesfor so doing, but I seized the gold as if by a convul-sive movement and ran like a madman to send it tomy mother. It was not until it was out of my handsihat I thought of what I had done. I hastened backto the spot where I had left Denrmsis, hut he was nolonger there. For several days I went out in themorning, returned not until evening searching everyuUce where I hoped to find him," .. .' The end of the romance is as eccentric as the begin-ing. For fifteen years Napoleon saw. no morexif hiscreditor. At the end of that time he discovered himr.nd asked " Why he had not applied to the 'Em-peror?" The answer was he had no necessity for themoney, but was afraid of being compelled to quit hisretirement, where he lived happily practising horti-culture.

Napoleon now paid his debt, as may be presumed,magnificently; made him accept three hundred thou-raiid francs as a reimbursement from theEmperor forthe thirty thousand lent to the subaltern of artillery ;and besides made him director general of the gardensof the crown, with a salary of thirty thousand francs.He also gave a government place to his brother.

In April, 1815, when Napoleun. was at the head ofJiis army, preparing to attack the allies, his Marshalsdemanded an interview with him. They were op-posed to his plan of operations, and looked upon anattempt to re-enter Paris as hopeless. They proposedthat he should abdicate in favor of his son. This wasalso the advice of the Emperor Alexander. Napo-iron did as was proposed; but Marmont and his armyhad surrendered on that day. After this the alliesrejected all negotiation. The propositions and offersof Napoleon to his officers and soldiers were unheed-ed by them, and he at length signed an unequivocalAbdication for himself and family. This led to the• cond attempt on his own life. He thus narrativesif :—

" From the time of the retreat from Rucu's," saidY.p , " I had constantly carried around my. neck, in a1 ttle silken bag, a portion of a poisonous powder. Inch Ivan had prepnred by n>y orders, when I was

fear of being carried off by the Cossacks.. My lifei. longer belonged to my country ; the events of tho*t few days had again rendered me master of it.hy should I endure so much suffering ? and who

• ows that my death may not plnce the crown upon<> head of my son ? France was saved."" I hesitated no longer, but leaping: from my bed,

mixed the poison in a little water and drank it witha sort of happiness."

" But time had taken away its strength : fearfulpains drew forth some groans from me; they wereheard, and medical assistance arrived. It was notHeaven 's will that I shsuld die so soon. St. Helenawas my DESTiN r.'"

To the Editor of the Water ford News.COMMENTS ON DEAN HOARE'S LECTURE ON

POPUJ/AK EDUCATION.SIXTH LETTER.

SIR—In concluding the fifth letter I ridiculed DeanHone for saying that " education , moral discipline,

ea-id intellectual culture, well directed, will beeomeuseful hand-maids to religion. Why ? Because, inthe same lecture he lauds a Godless system, in whicheducation is made, not the hand-maid, but the mis-tress of religion.

" Intellectual culture will become useful hand-maids to religion." How does he exemplify it ? I*it by giving a picture of Ireland'scon version to Chris-tianity, when religion was followed by learning, science,and civilisation—when Pagan Ireland passed away, andCatholic Ireland took her place. Her colleges andschools held the first plnce for efficiency during thesixth , seventh , and eighth centuries ; and Irishmenwere almost the sole instructors of Europe duringthose days of rapine add bloodshed. The halls ofIrish schools were; open to all who thirsted for know-ledge; no distinction being made between the nativesand strangers who flocked to Lismore, Armagh, Clo-nard, Ross, Clonfert, Bangor, and Kildave. Thelovers of learning who travelled from foreign coun-tries were hospitably received , supplied gratuitouslywith books, and even maintained when in want ; andnone availed themselves of these opportunities morefreely than the British. No fewer than seven thou-sand scholars studied at the same time in the univer-sity of the city of Armagh. The conventual collegeof Mayo, established in the seventh century for theeducation of strangers , contained at one time no lessthan 2.000 foreign .students. From the fifth to thefourteenth centuries, Irish ecclesiastics furnished thechurch with the brightest examples of Christian vir-tue. When Europe beheld her ancient glory disap-pear with the fall of Greece and Home ; when theDane and Hun preyed like vultures on her fallengreatness ; when the shadow of barbarism darkenedinto a deeper gloom , nnd spread a dismal pall overthe remains of civilization , who restored Europe tolife and civilization , and converted herpeoples to thetrue faith ? It was Irishmen. They were soughtafter as the most enlightened teachers, and the mostsaintly pas tors. The two hundred Irish saints, whosenames are venerated on the Continent, and overwhose remains gorgeous churches have been erected ,hear testimony to the purity of their lives, and the ex-tent of their labors. These were the men who madeeducation the hand-maid of religion, and not ourmodern reformers, who plundered Monasteries nndUniversities; treated as felons the Catholic school-masters, who dared not to teach unless at the rUk oftheir liberty, or perhapsof their lives. Yet after all,we find thatin Munsterthe people were taught Greek ,Latin , Mathematics, History, and other sciences.Centuries of persecution have not been able to eradi-cate religron, and learning from the Irish soil ; andnow it is attempted to spoil what could not be de-stroyed. The tyrants of yesterday have become thepatrons of to-day ! As education could not be ba-nished from Ireland, the only way to neutralise itseffects is to make it not the hand-maid of religion,but of the state. Dean Hoare does not refer to his-tory to exemplify his theory ; he does not even pointto the conventual schools of the present day—to those of the Sisters of Charity, or of the ChristianBrothers, but he recommends a mixed Godless systemin which religious instruction is barely permitted,and made a matter of secondary consideration. Iam not surprised that Dean Hoare, a Protestant cler-gyman, should take this view of it, but that Catholicsshould applaud him, excites my astonishment.

I don 't mean to undervalue mental culture or civi-lization , they are pood means to a good end—eternalhappiness. And I beg to observe, EN PASSANT , thatin my opinion a person must be happy here, in orderto be happy hereafter. " Virtue alone is happiness."The virtuous man ishnpp ier even in suffering than thewicked or unjust in their sunniest hours. No manwas every happy, without God. Impossible. Noman can come to God but by religion and by thehelp of His grace.

We have heard the opinion of Dean Honre on theprobab'le effects of mental tjultute ana moral disci-pline rightly directed, ashand-maidsto religion. Andherecoinmends the Governmental system of Nationals,Models, and Colleges, as happy instruments in carry-ing out his views. ~ These schools are in full play, andI fear they are acting rather as stepmothers than ashand-maids to religion ; for we find them teachingeverything most vigorously that promotes civiliza-tion, unless religion. The mental culture is going onall day. Mathematics, Hydrostatics, and all the"statics." Astrology, Geology, and all the "ologies"are cherished , but the religion of Jesus Christ mustwait at the door until the " ologies" are served !Perhaps I am misstating the case ; for the sake ofcommon decency and the honorof humanity, I wouldwish to be in error. But alas, it is not so. I don 'tmean to question the opinion of the very reverendgentleman , as far as Protestants are concerned ; theymay support whatever system of education that mayplease them best. But thoug h I respect him for Iiisvirtue, his learning, his humanity, I must respectfullyobject to his principles as being un-Catholic.

" Knowledge is power." Power for good or evil.Knowled ge and education are the main-springs ofcivilization. I shall now give the authorities. To showhow totally unconnected civilization and Divinefaith are, the Rev. Patrick Murray, D.D., Maynooth ,in the third vol. of his miscellany, says :—"The influ-ence of advancing civilization is j ust now insisted onwith peculiar and triumphant reliance, as of itselfalone capable of changing, as they say it is destinedto change the whole moral aspect of society—toaccomplish a revolution in human nature, which revo-lution has attempted, but failed to effect.

The progress of civilization , so far as it expels thehabits and idenB of savage life, removes certain ob-stacles to the discovery of religious truths ; but onlyto substitute others perhaps still more fatal in theirplace. It changes the idols from hideous to beau-tiful : error is not broken to pieces, but chiselled intomore graceful shapes. Advancing civilization with-out revelation rather tends to draw away the mindfrom God and eternity. Painting, music, sweetpoetry, measured prose, gilded p.-daccs, and elysianvillas, become, substitutes for the grosser idolsamongst the rich and refined. Universal conquest,a glorious constitution , the perfection of manufac-tures, fairs for the nations, crystal palaces, the " al-mighty dollar" come to share in all that remairis ofthe feelings of veneration formerly bestowed oh theidea—monstrous as it was—of a Supreme Being.

Civilization watched, controlled, vivified by reli-gion, may undoubted^ produce great moral effectsby generating a dislike for war, by making moralityreputable, by taming the fiercer passions of humannature, and in other ways. But the improvement inliterature, science, arts, polish of manners, the com-forts and conveniences of life, may go on for agesand yet not open the least glimpse into the invisibleworld, but the reverse. Men cease to be cannibals ;civil wars are at an end, liternture, art , the pleasuresof . the table and of society, the love of display, formso many distinct centres of aggregation for persons ofdifferent capacities. The world is made veryBgreeabln. Imagination , feeling, all the powers ofthe mind have all abundant food to pamper them.—The obvious tendency of all this, where the tendencyis not counteracted by religion, is to draw away themind from the spiritual, and to make that idea dis-agreeable, disturbing, nnd painful.

Some erne has said that " the proper study ofmankind is man," and this is really the practicalfaith to which in such a state of civilization, the mindwould be naturally led. Humanity becomes a di-vinity. The- Christian creed, however, is very dif-ferent. It teaches that " the proper study of man isGOD." and what concerns him and leads to him ;man is a proper stndy only in that relation. ItwouH be just as reasonable to expect this kind ofcivilization to lead to God, as it would be to expectthat the excitement of a debating club, or a magni-ficent ball, with its music, lights, and whirl of sen-sualism would, while they last, lead to a serious cowsideration of death. Civilization where it banishespolytheism only introduces epicurism, indifferentism,atheism. Physical civilization without revelation,lias never yet reformed the morals of a people.—Where it has checked the prevalence, or rather thepublicity of the grosser vices, it has done so not asmoral', good, but as a mere physical improvement—for the greater animal happiness and comfort of so-ciety. It has not subdued but refined the animalpropensities. A peasant has no relish for- richwines. H e prefers strong beer to claret, and whiskey

to champagne. The man of - taste is not mor» tern--'pcrate than he ; luxury is not lei* but rather,more |intense when it is more delicate and select; Therestraints of civilization are only a zest to the-moreexquisite enjoyment of sin ; as the usages of eti-quette are often'a provision for more elegant indul-gence. '; _ >••

¦... . ;.,^>- - : .i f ;

On the other hand moral civilization of a veryhigh order may exist where physical civilization stillcontinues in a very low degree. A striking exampleof which is furnished by the extraordinaryMj ssion ofthe history of the Jesuits in Paraguay^But, as myobject is'to show not what can be effected? withoutcivilization but by it, I abstain from further refer-ence to facts which will1 occur to every historicalstudent.

It is a fact that civilization has never yet led apeople to the knowledge of God ; and as to its influ-ence on morals—though with this I am not directlyconcerned—whatever eft'ect it may have in refiningmanners and speech, it never reaches the heart, thetrue centre and sphere of moral action.

We need not go to the distan t or the past ; _ wehave only to look nrniuid us and to behold ! it isunder our eyrs. I content myself with suggestingthe fact.

Mr. Mueantoy s'lya— " A* to what becomes ofman sifter do sith , we do not see thnt n highl y edu-cated Eurnpi'an, Irft to his unaided reason, is morelikel y to !>• • in tho right than a black foot Indian .—Not a single one of the many sciences in which wesurpass the black foot Indians, throws the smallestlight on thu state of the soul after the animal life isextinct."

Dean Hoare, it is true, lauds in his lecture thesublime nnd indispensable influences of religion, andI suppose would delight in giving it its proper placein the education of Protestants. But when be comesto the practice he falls, off from his principles, andeulogises the Godless Colleges' 1 and the un-Christiangovernment system. He prb^bW* the sublimity ofthe rel igion of Jesus Chridl ; lbut'allow3 her to waitoutside till the spelling class is over !

JOHN CARROLL.Earlsrath, Wednesday.

"T AKE . A NEWSPAPER ."—According to a long-given promise, the Rev. James Aspinal , the rector ofAlthorpc, Lincolnshire, delivered a lecture, the open-ing one of the season, in the Mechanics' Institute atWorksop, on Tuesday week. We need not say that ,as j ournalists, we highly approve of the following ex-tract from it :—" And here, while speaking of lec-tures, I will mention a subject on which an occasionalone, or even a course might be delivered with verygood effect in a town which must be the centre of alarge and important agricultural neighbourhood.Not long since , listening to two farmers, who were inconversation , I heard one of them ask the other whatpaper he took. The answer was, ' I can't afford totake any one,' which drew from his companion therejoinder , " Well , now, 1 can 'taflbrd notto take one.'This led to a demand for an explanation fro m theuon-taker, which was thus given by his clear-headedfriend. ' Of course I want to sell my produce to thebest advantage, and, to enable me to do so, I find mynewspaper the safest, and indeed the only safe guide.As soon .is I receive it I turn to the report of the mo-ney market, study the state of the Exchanges, the rateof interest and discount , nnd sec what the goldenpotentates in the Bank Parlour are doing, and thenI consider what effect will be produced on the pricesby all this, and carry my stuff to market or withholdit accordingly.' The explanation seemed to be aproblem and a mystery to the inquirers who aftethearing it appeared to be in a greater fog, and mist,and cloud than before. Now, I doubt not that thiscase is that of many,, and therefore I would suggesta course of plain, explanatory lectures to enlightenour agricultural friends on a question which is at pre-sent positive Greek , if not actual Hebrew to a greatnumber of them. And to make the receipt completesay the lesson effective for theiradvantage. I wouldadd to every one of them, " Take a newspaper.'"—[Liverpool Albion.]

IHE INCOME .TAXThe country is now enj oying the agreeable fruits

of the policy of those Irish members, who lent them-selves for ministerial purposes, to the scheme of im-posing a fresh arbitrary and vexatious weight to theburden of taxation which we already bear. For seve-ral days past, forms of returns to be filled up withina limited period have been handed about, and while,we write many a trader and householder is puzzlinghis brains as to4he -niannef in whitj t he. is to carry outthe provisions of the law. The schedule of the actof parliament, at present in circulation , is not veryintelligible, and as the sfatement of each person will beliable to be verified on oath, it is necessary that some-thing akin to accuracy must be adhered.—[Wexfordford People.] '

The "CarWSentinel"says, " We are requested tostate thatno proceedings will be adopted against par-ties who have not made their returns within 20 daysto the income tax office, and in no case but for wilfulneglect or refusal to comply with the law. The sur-veyor, Thomas Smith, Esq., will return from Wexfordearly in next week, and will afford the public all theinformation they may require on the subj ect of thereturns referred to."

anything of the kind , and he must therefore respect-fully decline this also.—[Guardian.]

RUSSIAN CORRUPTION .—It is well known that inRussia government function aries are easily corrupted.The following instance of their corruption is relatedin a recently published work :—" A young man in-herited a large estate in the government of Moscow,a neighbour unjustly claimed a part of it. Theyoung man asked his uncle, the chief ju dge of thedistrict, if he ought to go to law,'or consent to an ar-rangement. The uncte'wcwrinjwided him to go tolaw, assuring; him he would gain his suit. Somemonths after he learned that he had lont the action,because his uncle had allowed himself to be corruptedfor the sum oflO,000 robles. Huhnstened to his unclennd approached him bitterly. ' It is true,' said theuncle calmly, ' that you h:ivo lost your action—truealso that I accepted 10,000 roubles from your adver-sary, but thnt w.u all lie had. If you had gainedyour suit here , as was your right, he would have ap-pealed, and by actid 'n? his ]0,O00roublestoSt. Peters-burg would have gistii pj his cause. But now do youtake the money, appsal , and you will succeed.' Thenephew, delighted, gratefull y embraced his uncle."

EXTRAORDINARY CASK GOLD DIG GING.

Margaret and Sarah Murphy were charged byJohn Crowe of Abbeyside, Dungarvan, with felo-niously taking one pair of shoes, one pair of stock-ings, and several other articles of wearing appavelbelonging to his daughter, on the 22d Sept. last.

Mr. Barron brought before the court, in a face-tious manner, that this case was linked with one ofthe most extraordinary acts, he might say of necro-mancy or magic, which has ever occurred in thecounty Waterford, or perhaps in Ireland. It ap-pears that this ingenious piece of imposition had beonpractised and carried out effectually by the prisonersat the bar, and so far worked their part on the simpli-city and credulity of John Crowe and family thatthey actually believed the statement to be quite cor-rect. Some time since prisoners called to the houseof Crowe and informed him that there had beensome hidden treasures at the Abbeyside old castle,which was destined for no other persons exceptCrowe's family (great laughter). From tins infor-mation Crowe and his son-in-law seemed to be capti-vated in pondering over the crocks of gold they werein a short time to possess (laughter) . The prisonersthen accompanied the old Crowe and the younggoose (the son-in-law being a tailor) to the wished-forspot, and of course commenced operations to seek forthat much admired metal (laughter). They foundit, and carefully rolled it up in a white cloth, placedit in a travelling bag purchased in town for the pur-pose, and given* to Crowe's son-in-law, who was full ycommissioned to make sale of it in Dublin (laughter).On his arrivalin Dublin to make sale of the golrl

^ I

believe it would be morally impossible to describehis joy in thinking of his easily acquired wealth andindependence ; but when he examined the coiitt-ntaof the bag he found about 30lhs weight of a stone—(roars of laughter). Now gentlemen I shall readfor you the communication which has been receivedfrom him to his father-in-law, John Crowe, and it isthen for you to judge for yourselves :—

[At the reading of this classic production it is im-possible to describe with any sort of accuracy theside-splitting laughter which pervaded the wholecourt during the time Mv. Barron was stating the;ase. The following is. a verbatim copy of .theletter :—

Court—Did you think that you" would be veryrich ?

Witness—No, because we got a letter it was astone (laughter) .

of laughter.)Court—Did the prisoner effect the robbery with

which you charge her ?Witness—I lent them the shawl, the frock, the

DER OF A GENERAL OFFICER.The terrible tragedy which has just occurred

Chalons, was the chief topic of conversation in Paon Wednesday. This horrible murder of a most Atinguished officer , by his aide-de-camp, is frightfulcontemplate—it is but a part of a vast whole, whis absolutely corrupt through very rottenmThe French army is a hot-bed of immorality andsubordination—circumstances have come to- li|which invest the murder with additional horror. Cade Laporte ha9 not only to answer for this crime, 1for another, which is considered as a mark of distiltion in all ranks of the French army. It appears tifor some time past rumours were in circulationspectng the conduct of the Countess de Neuilly, «was represented as keeping up a criminal relatiwith Captain de Laporte, her husband's aide-de-cai:and frequently repairing to the private rooms of t!officer. These rumours, it must be declared, at fimet with general disbelief, particularly as they ]commenced a little after the death of the only ciof the countess, a charming young woman, whose]had plunged the countess, and the general intodeepest affliction. At the same time persons wunwilling to suppose that an officerto whom the geral had behaved in the most paternal manner coact with such base ingratitude. However, the captand the countess acted with so little reserve, theirtrigue was soon the public talk of the town, so tlsome of the general's friends determined to put a sto it , by mentioning the matter to the general. Ihaps it would have been preferable to have appeato Captain de Liporte himself, but the gemleinwho had undertaken to enlighten the general aswhat was going on, selected-the course of denouncthe intrigue to the husband. Accordingly on Sunomorning, j ust as the general was going out shootia secret intimation reached him to the effect that iCountess de Nenill y had ju st before left the hoand that she was at that moment to be found atlod ging of Captain de Laporte , on the first floor ohouse in the Rue St. N'icaise. Tke general proce«at once to the house mentioned , and knocked louiat the door of Captain de Laporte'srooms. He hefinside the words, " It is he '—itis he!—we are lespronounced by his wife in an accent of the grealalarm. " Open ! open at once !" cried the gen«" or I will opun the door!" At the same momCaptain de Laporte appeared on the threshold witpistol in each hand, and barring the general's psage, threatened to fire at him if he attempted to*vancc a single step. A rapid and terrible scentaltercation followed, and then both pistols were finearly at the same moment. The general recei'both balls in the centre of the breast, and fell hea^from the top of the staircase to the outside dcbatbed in his blood. The report of the pistolstracted some personn to the spot, and- they found :unfortunate count at his last gasp. " The cowsithe wretch ! he has assassinated me !" he exclaimand then expired.—[Morning Advertiser Correspdent.]
