INFORMATION FOR EMIGRANTS

The following is the copy of a letter received byCaptain O'Gonnan , of the ship Jessy, of Limerick,from A. Bucbannan , Esq., chief officer of emigration,Quebec :—

" Emigration Department , Quebec,17th February, 1853.

" Dear Sir—I am desirous of having the earliestinformation as to the prospects of emigration fromyour port during the ensuing spring, more particu-larly as some apprehension exists that labour will bescarce, and that the completion of our railroads mayconsequently bo much retarded.

" Should any inquiries be made on thi3 subject, youcan safely state that Canada never presented a morefavourable opening for the reception of all classes ofEmigrants than at present. Able-bodied unskilledlabourers will command a dollar per day throughoutthe spring and summer months ; masons, carpenteas,miners, are also much wanted , nnd will command pro-portionate wages, and during the whole of the presentwinter, labourers have found full and steady employ-ment, at wages from 2s. 6d. to 3s. sterling per day.The extensive works now in course of progress willnot be completed for several years; and as such alarge outlay of public money will stimulate everyother branch of trade, it will not be possible to over-stock our labour market for some years to come. Thework on the Quebec and Richmond railroad , fromtheir proximity to this port, will afford those seek-ing labour immediate employment on their leavingthe ship.

" I should be glad if you would give these factspublicity in your districts.

" I remain, dear Sir,Your obedient Servant,

"A. C. BlICHAS 'NAS*.11 To Captain D. Gorman, ship Jessy."A copy of an advertisement, r.lso forwarded to

Capt. Gorman , states that a number of first-classquarry men are wanted for the Quebec and Richmondrailway, and may, by applying at the contractor 'soffice , in Quebec, find immediate employment at li-beral wages.—[Limerick Reporter.]

MASSACRE IN THE BERENICE AND BURN-ING OF THE VESSEL.

A most tra gical event has unhappily befallen themaster, his . lady, and officers of the English shipBerenice, in the Straits of Gaspas, while on a voyageto Sydney, who were horribly murdered on board ,and th«ir ship aftewards destroyed by fire. Aprevious mail had given rise to some fears of a vesselhaving been burnt in the Straits, and an impressionwas entertained that the ill-fated ship was the Bere-nice, which was missing ; and from the fact of someof the fragments of the wreck having been pickedup bearing the Berenice 's initials, little doubt wasfoil in the matter. Much anxiety then arose as to thefate of those on board , who comprised Captain Candy,his wife, firs t and second mates, a Frenchman (a pas-senger for Australia) two servants of Mrs. Candy,and about 35 hands. With the exception of the offi-cers, there were- hut few Europeans among the crew ,who, for the- most part , were Java and Mnnillsi-mcn. The ship sailed on the (> th of June fro m Sin-gapore for Shang hai, and then from that port to Syd-ney on the 4th of November, with the intention ofcalling at Java. Several of the crew evinced n strongdesire to leave the vessel on her reaching that island ,but the captain holding out an increase of wagesand additional rations to take the ship on to Sy dney,they were induced to remain, and the vessel proceeded.Nothing was heard of her until about the 10th ofDecember, when a report reached Marabaya , the re-sidence of Togel, of a burned wreck having beendiscovered in the Straits. A day or two previousl y,a boat containing 15 persons arrived at Marabaya ,who, on landing, dispersed themselves inland beforethe authorities had time to institute inquiries aboutthem ; and on the day following another boat camein with a similar number, and same character of men ,a mixture of Java nnd Manillamen. When interro-gated , they stated that they were the crew of a prahubelonging to Rhio, laden with gambrie, which theyrepresented had capsized, nnd that a boy had beendrowned. The whole of them adhering to that onestatement, they were released , their story at the timebeing believed*to be true. The police, however, hadtheir suspicion being aroused by the conduct of someof the men, as they displayed much anxiety to partfrom each other 's company and to leave the place,and it was not until they had been subjected to amost searching inquiry that the truth was revealed.Some of them at length confessed to having belong-ed to the Berenice , and to the horrible fate which thecaptain and his officers met with. According to theirrepresentations , it seems that , on the 2nd of Decem-ber, a mutiny broke out among the Manillamen, onaccount , as alleged, of the master not having allowedthe additional rations which he had previously pm-miscd. About midnight, they got Mr. Cand y.on thequarter-deck , where they horribly murdered him.His wife, hearing his cries, rushed on deck with twoof the officers, when they also immediately fell a sa-crifice. The third mate and the French passsiitj er,who witnessed the tragedy, leaped overboard to e?-cape the vengeance of the wretches, and perished.Mrs. Candy 's servants shared a similar fate to theirunhappy mistress. The whole of the bodies, withweights attached to them, were hurled into the sea.The ringleader then took to plunder the ship of every-thing that was portable, and , after two or three days 'riotous living on board , they commenced destroy ingher. Having lowered the boats they kindled a firein several parts of her, and when she had got com-pletely alight they abandoned her. By the last ac-counts the authorities were using every effort to bringthe principal actors in the barbarous acts of murderand piracy to justice, and as many as nine had beenlodged in the gaol of Togel. The - Berenice wasfreighted with a valuable cargo of tea, and her loss is,therefore, considerable.

Of Thomas Murray, a native of Kilmacthomas,county Watesford, Ireland , who arrived in this coun-try about 4 years ago ; he left his brother in Brook-lyn , N.Y., about 3 years, and wont to New Orleans ;he is supposed to be in St. Louis, Mo. working in apaint shop. Any information will be thankfull y re-ceived by his Brother, Patrick Murray, No. 152 Yorkstreet, Brookl yn. If Mr. Edward Mulligan , of St.Louis, will enquire for him he will much oblige.

THE NEW AMERICAN CABINET.The following is President Piercc 's cabinet :—Secretary of State—W. L. Marcy.Secretary of the Treasury—James Guthrie.Secretary of the Interior—Robert M'Clelland.Secretary of War—Jefferson Davis.Secretary of the Navy—James Dohbyn.Postmaster General—James Camp bell.Attorn ey General—Caleb dishing.The above nominations have been confirmed by the

Senate.

SWIFT .—Swift having paid a visit to Sir ArthurAcheson 's country seat ; and being, on the morningof his return to his deanery, detained a few minuteslonger than he expected at his breakfast, found,when he came to the door his own man on horsebackand a servant of Sir Arthur 's holding the horse hewas to ride himself. He liiountcrl , turned the headof his horse towards his own man , and asked him , ina low voice if he did not think he should give some-thing to the servant who held his horse, and if hethought five shillings would be.too much ? " No,sir, it will not , if you mean to do the thing hand-somely" was the reply. The Dean made no remarkupon this ; but when he paid his man's weekly ac-count, wrote under it— •• Deducted from this, formoney paid to Sir Arthur 's servan t for doing yourbusiness—five shillings."

A USTRALIAN CROTCHETS .—Some of the pianoforte-makers are said to be exceedingly busy in makinginstruments for exportation to Australia. Contraryto expectation , the plenitude of gold creates a demandf or notes.

ACTIVE WOMEN .—As a rule it may be remarkedthat noisy women do much less than they seem to do,and quiet women often do more. But it does notfollow that all quiet women are active ; on the con-trary, six out of ten are indolent and work only oncompulsion. Indolent women have their goodpoints, and one of the most valuable of these is theirquietness. It is a great luxury in domestic life ; butperhaps it is a luxury which is too expensive for apoor man unless he can get it combined with activity.The wife of a poor man , no matter what his profes-sion or position, ought to be active in the best senseof the word. She ought to rule her own house withdiligence but not boast of it. Her managing powersought to be confined to her own house, and never besent out to interfere with her neighbours.

FALLING INTO GOOD HANDSThe acts regulating the completion of the Water-

ford and Kilkenny and Waterford and LimerickRailways, entrusted to the former company themaking of the line from Granagh Junction to Water-ford Brid ge (one mile) with the proviso that if notmade before the 25th ir.st. the making is to be trans-furred to the latter Company. In acconletice withthis proviso , that part of the line being unfinished,is to pass into the hands of Mr. Dargan on the partof the Limerick Company, and the energ ies of thisgreat contractor will be app lied to complete thisshort but difficult part of the line at a period of timeearlier than could be anticipated under any othercircumstances. There is reason to believe that bothlines may he travelled to the Waterford Bridge inthree months hence.—[Kilkenny Journal.]

Prom our London CorrespondentLONDON , March 22 , 1853.

A few days back , at the Middlesex sessions, MaryHill , an unfortunate girl, was convicted of robbing arailway clerk of his watch, and some of'the policestating that she was a notorious offender, Mr. Ser-jean t Adams pronounced on her a sentence of sevenyears transportation. The prisoner, upon hearingthis, lost all command of herself, called the principalpolice witness a perjured thief, and as climax shriekedout that he was a perjured pvig. Whereupon , as Ihave been informed , by a person who was in court ,the solon of Clerkenwell rose from the bench , and,in a tone which indicated no great equanimity oftemper, said, " Now you shall have ten !"

The company during the past week held furthermeetings in this city at Dobbyn 's Hotel, for the pur-pose of settling with the owners and occupiers ofland , not heretofore agreed with .

Mr. Einond Power, the local director of the com-pany, investigated and settled every claim on theline. All the land has been obtained , and we Jtreglad fo announce now in the possession of Mr. Dar-gan. Messrs. Dobbyn , Ambrose, O'Brien , andClarke, attended as solicitors for the several claim-ants.

CONCLUSION OF THE MISSION.On Sunday evening last the mission of the Vin-

centian Fathers concluded by an impressive andappr opriate sermon from the Rev. Mr. K I C K H A M .We never witnessed so crowded an audience—andthis op inion has been shared in by many—withinthe walls of this spacious edifice—said to be thelargest in Ireland. We are gratified to perceiveby advertisement in our impression of to-day,that the people did not permit the beloved Fathersto depart f rom amongst them , witliout tenderin gto them their gratefu l thanks and acknowled g-ments. The address and re solutions to which weallude , are t ruthful l y and expressivel y written. —To them we beg to draw at tent ion.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENT S.It is gratif y ing to learn that , at length the

Corporation have adopted effective measures forknockin g a wing off the old rotten island in Bar-ronstrand-street (see our report.) When the firststone shall be removed , then , and not till then ,may we calculate that the whole nuisance is nearits dissolution.

THE WEATHERFor some days past the weather has been unu-

suall y severe—snow , hail , and rain having fallenvery fre quentl y. This present March has realisedthe old adage—that is, so far , come in like alamb , and gone out like a lion !

PUBLIC LECTURES.Surgeon LO-VKR vvi]] commence his course of

Lectures in the Town-Hall on Monday evening.We are sure his fame will ensure him a good aud-dience. At present—and it has been remarkedto us by a learned gentleman—Rev. Dr. CAIIILLand the Surgeon arc the two best public lecturersin Ireland.

We have heard that Mr. PARSONS , accompa-nied by a lady who is to sing MOORE 'S songs , willshortl y deliver a lecture in the Town-hall , on thelife and writings of our national Bard—the "poetof all circles," as Bynox called him , " and theidol of his own."

THE (O ULD ) R ELIGION !— We have heardthat the Rev. Mr. M ORGAN purposes, on this day,in the Protesta nt Cathedral , to prove that his formof worshi p is the " ould" one ! Quid mine "!Perhaps some otlier theologian belong ing to thesaid firm , will set about provin g that the littleChurch of Tramore , finished last year , is olderthan St. Peter 's in Rome. Up to this we tookyou to be a man of sense, Mr. MORGAN. If theghost of H E N R Y VIII , could speak , the questionwould soon be decided against you.

We learn that Mr. Sinnott is in the fiel d for the of-fice of Superintendent of Public Works to the Cor-poration , vacated by Mr. Thorton. Without takingfrom the merits of other candidates (if there be any)we can confidentl y state that it would be hard tofind a better man for the office than Mr. Sinnott.—We have seen his maps, drawings, and other works,and we are bound to say that they would reflect cre-dit on older heads, ana persons of far greater pre-tensions. Having had long and practical experienceunder Mr. Roberts, C.E., and Mr. O'Reilly, &c, weconsider him one of the most generally informed menat his profession, in this quarter of the country.

WATERFORD: AND LIMERICK

The progress of Irish industry is going on with

?rea t rapidi ty and with greater unanimity, io

Limerick. At the last meeting 1 of the Parent

Board of Irish Manufacture in Dublin , Mr. COYNE ,a man to whom the public owe much for his

talents and energy in the good cause, made the

following gratif y ing announcement :—•

" He had seen in the convents of Limerick41 shirts making for the army, navy, and for ex-" portation. He was proud that the Parent" Board had obtained these army contracts for" the Irish poor, which had been formerly sent" abroad (hear , hear). He had seen the splendid" factory of Todd and Co. ; they were erecting" a large building, and required one thousand" additional hands. Ho was glad to find that in" Limerick the Catholic Bishop and the Protes-" tunt Bishop united on the industrial question ;" there was no sectarianism in the making of a" shirt (hear , and laug hter) .1'

Whut a happy state of things this—one thou-sand hands wanted—the Catholic and ProtestantBishops united ! Have we such union in Water-ford ? No. And how can we, when prosel yt-ism, the kidnapping of hungry childien , and theposting of offensive placards , are made the chiefstock in trade of one of the Lord Bishops , aidedand supported by his faithful Clergy !

We reall y do not see how our city can pro-gress in science or manufactures , so long as thishateful religious animosity is kept up and fosteredin the minds of the people '? But , what do theori ginators of this nationall y-inj urious systemcare for our poverty or our oppressive taxat ion ?They are, at any rate well paid—they feel nohunger—and what matters it to them so that theyhave an audience and a stage !

Dr. DALY has a princel y income—lie hasselected for himself the hol y life of celebacy—hehas , like our Catholic Bishops , but himself to pro-vide for and supp ort—he draws this princel y in-come from the peop le—and yet we do not recol-lect his having given one pound towards the ad-vancement of Watcrfonl' s manufacture. And hisClergy, too, are very backward in this respect. —borne of them , we know , cannot afford much ;but they all could give a little. Dean H OAKE ,we admit , is a stirring, and , comparativel y speak-ing, a tolerant man—he does all he can (or theprogress of local trade— so does the Rev. Mr.M'C ANCE , who is one of its most zealous advo-cates. But , we regret to repeat , that Dr. DALY

is very backward in this respect.The Waterford Industrial Association have

done wonders since it commenced operations ;four or five hundred persons are now emp loyedthat were before idle—several have been takenfrom the poor-house, and numerous others keptfrom its gates—many poor families have, evenwithin our own hearing, blessed this Association.For how much was this happy change effected ?What was the sum subscribed ? About £80. Ofthis how much did Dr. DALY give ?—not a far-th ing ! !—he refused point bl ;ink—whilst DoctorFoil AN , a poor Bishop—very poor in worldlymatters—contributed his mite , with the greatestalacrity. Wh y do we make the contrast ? Inorder to show that wiud-b -jgs, loud talkers , andplacard-posters , are not the men who have reall yat heart the comfort , pr osperi ty, and happ inessof the people of Waterford.

Our port and peop le have vast natural advan-tages , and great growing prospects , if we be butunited , anil vie with each other for the commo ngood. Let bill-posting be put down—let tradebe revived —let the sp inning-wheel be set going—let a thousand hands be emp loyed—let every onetravel his own road to Heaven , but let us firstprovide: something to eat for him whilst he is herebelow—let pamp hlets about trade be published—let sermons concerning Irish Indust ry be deli-vered ; but Jet us hare no more heart-burningson the score of religion , and let us regard thosemen who endeavor to fan the flame, as this poorNation 's bitterest enemies.

«-p THE LAUNCH. •At five o'clock on Wednesday evening, a mag-

nificent steam-shi p, called the " Sy lp h,'' waslaunched from the yard of the Neptune Foundry ,After a few blows had been given , and her crut-ches removed , the noble vessel beautiful l y glided ,in the midst of a snow-shower , and hailed byloud cheers, into the element for which she wasintended. As a specimen of naval architecture,she reflects great credit on Mr. HORN , Mr. MUR-

PHY, and our native aj t izans generall y. And weshould not forget the Messrs. M ALCOMSON either ,who have done so much for the extension of na-tive industry and the emp loyment of our peop le.We shall always accord praise where praise isdue. We regret , however , to learn that thisvessel must go over to England or Scotland to getin her Engines, and , doubtless it is by them thatthe most money is made. We learn that anothershi p of a larger size will be immediatel y com-menced with , and many additional hands—if theycan be procured—employed. This is anotherpractical sign of the progress of trade in this mostfavored—by nature we mean—but heretofore ne-jglected city.

DOCTOR GRAY. 1

The address of the people of Monaghan to Dr.G RAY —in presenting him with a costl y piece ofplate—and the learned gentleman 's rep ly, havedul y come to hand ; but , we regret that previousarrangements will compel us to hold them overtill our next. Though the Doctor lost the elec-Mon in Mona g han , we are glad to find that thehonest portion of the peop le of that county havebeen , and are still , with him. This is more thansome of the successful candidates at the last elec-tion can boast of. Doctor GRAY , however , de-serves this and more, for his great ability, uprightconduct , and public spirit on all occasions. Hav-ving acquired honor and an independent fortuneby his talents , whenever he may be returned toPar liament, he need not beg his breakfast fromthe Minister of the day, It was a great mistake,and we said it prior to the last election, not tchave chosen him in place of GKOHGB for theCounty Wexford. Had he come forward , hissuccess was as certain as that of M'M AHON 'S, be-cause he was infinitel y better known. However ," {here's a good time coming."

The Right Worshipful T. F. STRANGE, ;Mayor,':inthe chair." - V

Aldermen T. L. Mackesv, (M.D.,) M. Slaney. S.Phelan, R. Walsh, R. Cooie, and S. Woods.

Councillors M;-Dobbyn, S. Newport, H. Gallwey,T. Clarke, A. Ryan, T. Purcel l,. J. A. Blake, T. Mur-phy, J. Lawler, P. A. Power; P. Cox, E. Walsh, J.Power, M. Egan, T. O'Reilly, J. Kenny, and W.Carroll, (M.D.) •

Mr. O'BRIEN, Town Clerk, read the minutes of lastmeeting.

MR. DARGAN.The MAYOR read a copy of a letter which he had

sent to Mr. Dargan, in compliance with a resolutionof the council, inviting that gentleman to a public en-tertainment, as a mark of the high respectan d esteemhe is held in by all classes of the citizens. The mayorsaid he had also a personal interview with Mr. Dar-gan on the subj ect, who said he was rather averse toreceiving public honours,, but, however, at some fu-ture time, he said , he would be in a better position toaccept such a favour when he shall hav e done some-thing to merit such a compliment from the people ofWaterford (cheers.)

SAILORS ' HOME .His WORSHIP said he wished to introduce the sub-

j ect of establishing a " Sailors' Home" in Waterford.He did not agree with some members of the councilwho say that we ought not travel outside the cleans-ing, paving, and lighting of the city (hear, hear).His opinion is that in all social progress the corpora-tion ought to take an active part (hear, hear). Sincehe became chief magistrate of the city he had ampleopportunities of seeing that there was a necessity forprotection for that class of people more particularlythan others. They were at present exposed to theschemes of crimps and " land sharks," who too often,leave them pennyless. If they had a lodging andboarding house for sailors, such as they have in Cork,Liverpool, Belfast, and other places, the schemes ofvice and drunkenness which too frequentl y take placeon the quays ond streets of the city would in a greatdegree be completely prevented , and the best possi-ble resu'ts follow from such an establishment. InLimerick , his worsh ip said , the Mayor and Bishop ofLimerick , and the President of the Chamber of Com-merce- the Collector (if Customs, and otlier highlyinfluential gentlemen of that city formed themselvesinto a committee , on the 1st of February last , toadopt such measures as might be deemed necessaryfor establishing a "sailors' home" in Limerick. Themayor here read a prospectus, which he had receivedfrom Captain Stuart , of Cork, on the subject , andwhich bore the signatures of the committee, and alarge amount of annual subscriptions and donationsliberally subscribed for the purpose. The followingextracts which we copy from the prospectus, w

^fully explain the purposes of such an institute :—" Tlie object contemplate.] by tlio.se who advocate the

Establishment of biiiilors' Home.-!, at the principal Seil'ortaof tiic United Kingdom, consists in the moral andsocial elevation of a class of men on whom, perhaps morethan any other, the maratime supremacy, commercialgreatness, and general prosperity of 'his khigdoin de-pend ; yet. whose condition has hitherto received butlittle attention from either its Legislators or Philanthro-pists. Hence it is the proverbial characteristic of theSeamen to be utterl y improvident of the earnings resulting from a lire of peril and of toil ; while the want of anymoral or menial training too frequently :>Ilowi this im-pro 'Menco to be directed into courses oftiepravity aridciimc. Generosity, tun, is a large ingredient iu theSailor's character; and it cannot he too much to hope,that UU good dispositions,if protecte d fiom tli a destruc-tive associations which inevitably await him at everyport, would leail him to a more jus l appreciatio n of hhduties to those who have cl'iiins on the produce of his la-bors, :is well as to (io<l - to ."•ociety - ami to i.iiiiielt'

"The immediate purpose of these establishments is toafTonl to Sailors , on returning from a voyape, a home , inwhich they may find , at the lowest possible expense, aatmturtiitj leand well pioridc il Ijo.inl and lodging, us y/eilas the means of usel'ul occupation fur leisure hours , byreading or otlierwi .se. .A bout ~'i of these Institution shave been established in the United Kingdom within thelast seven ye.ii'3—including the Ports of Dublin , Cork au<lBel ast—and have, everywhere , been fouud productive ofthe most beneficial results.

" To carry this obj-c' into effect in Limerick wherethr evils which surround the Sailor, on landing, from theassociation of abandoned and dishonest characters , is asgreat as at any other l'ort—the Commit t*e has been form-e>.l, iuid a considerable amounlof funds already subacrib-cl. It is propose! that, the es'ablishmeii! shall bi- made,ns fur as possible, self-supporting, by the furs which willbe charged for board and. lodging ; but as it will still benecessary to provide for a c ¦nsidorabl.1 portion of ex-penses, particularly at ihe outset , by a public fund , thebenevolent tire now appealed to to aid in i his most desira-ble object A large and commodious h. use must be ub-taincn , anM furnished , and conducted in such a nmnnerasto induce the Sailor to prefer it to other places , iu whichsimilar dcc<>mmotfat ion will be otfered to him at , pi'rlmps ,nominally less expense, but where he will, iu reality, beexposed to all those temptations from which it is neivisa-blcto protect him. A Library and lloailing-Hoom willbe Attached , and an Hospital provided for Sai.'ors in tem-porary sickness or digress."

His Worshi p h.iving again alluded to the good re-sults from such establishments, said the lords of theadmiralty had givoii to Liverpool and Plymouth£100 each, for similar purposes, as donations. Hethen concluded by moving for a committee, withpower to add to their numbers, to carry out the ob-jects he had stated.

Capt. N EWPORT said he had great pleasure in se-conding the mayor 's proposition, as sailors were aclass of people that deserved to be looked after—from the merchant seamen their navy was manned—and were the country 's best bulwarks against foreigninvasion.

The M AYOII said Capt. Stuart would come to Wa-terford whenever the committee pleased, and affordthem every information on the subject.

Mr. PUKCKLI .—I hope the lords of the admiraltywill assist the people of Irelan 1, as well as they didin England , to establ ish such a bc-nclicial institute aais contemplated (hear.)

The M AYOR said, the harbour commissioners ofCork gave £100 there ; aiitl as the matter principallyconcerns ship merchants, all that class also liberallycontributed.

The following committee was then named, withpower to add to their numbers—The Mayor, Capt.Newport , and Messrs. Power, Oallwcy, Kenny, Cox,and E. Wnlshe, who are to communicate with theharbour commissioners and chamber of commerce tosolicit their co-operation.

FINANCE AND OTHER COMMITTEES.Mr. O'BRIEN then proceeded to read the reports of

the several committees.A sum of £25 due to the late Edward Mullowney,

corporation rent warner, was recoinmended' tojbe paidto his widow, and that the tender of CounsellorWalsh, of £3 an acre for pai^ of the lands of Logloss,be accepted.

The appointment of a SU^

USSQE to_Edward Mul-lowney was agreed on by a general committee of thecouncil.

I lUnRONSTRAND-STIlEET.The town clerk read the consent of the lords of

the treasury to ullow the council to borrow £400 at4 per cent, per annum , for the purpose of purchasingfrom the Christian Brothers some houses their propertyin Barronstrand-street. for the purpose of wideningthat great thoroughfare.

FISH MAI1KET.The lords of the treasury also consented to the

memorial of the council to borrow £400 to pur-chase the premises of Mr. William Thompson 'inHigh-street, for £J00, and for the erection thereonof a fish house.

Mr. PURCELL said it would be desirable to have anentrance to it also in Peter-street.

Mr. DODBYN said Mr. Thompson 's premises ranup to within one holding of the corporation propertvin Peter-street, and that would not cost much to pur-chase it. r

The MAYOR said, he thought the two houses on itcould be got very reasonable as they were some yearsunoccupied.

Alderman Woons said it would be desirable to pur-chase them at their present figure, not when improve-ments would be made adj acent.

Mr. DOBBYN said the fish market on the quay wasa great nuisance, and dangerous to the public healthof the city from the affluvia arising therefrom. Itwas a doubl e nuisance to the shopkeepers in summer,and to the fish women in winter, not having anyshelter there in that season.

Alderman WOODS said a fish-house in High-street,with only one entrance would be a complete nui-sance. There should be a thorough passage intoPeter-street.

Alderman PHEI.AN was of opinion that no newmatter could be entertained on the subj ect, and thatthe council should confine their discussion strictly to.he memorial eent to the lords of the treaiury.

¦ ¦¦' " ¦

Mr. POWER said it would be better to use the fuhdf v.necessary for it out of the money they had in the :funds, than to borrow any more, as the corporate debt ;

was Already large enough.On the mayor being about to put the question of

commencing the work at once without the secondoutlet,

Alderman MACKESY moved as an amendment thatit be carried out to Peter-street.

The MAYOR put the amendment which wag carriedon a division of 17 to 6,

GAS.Mr. MURPHY introduced the question of the gat

lighting of the city generally, and produced severaldocuments and letters conected therewith, which,together with the discussion thereon, we are unavoid-ably obliged to hold over till our next number. Thesubject is one of much interest to the citizens gene-rally, we therefore wish to give all the facts on it wholaand entire.

The whole matter was referred to the finance com-mittee to report thereon to the next meeting of th«council , which it was stated will take place on the 4thof May.

PUBLIC PUMPS. \On the motion of Alderman Woods, seconded by \

Mr. Ryan, it was resolved that the Mayor be autho-rized to offer a Reward of five pouuds, for such infor-mation as will lead to the discovery and conviction •of the person or persons who shall be found injuringthe pumps and conduits of the borough. ' J

CORPORATION YARD.On the motion of Mr. Dobbyn, seconded by Al-

derman Woods, it was resolved to give Mr. JohnWilson a lease of 31 years of the yard in Boltpn-street, adjoining the fish-house, at the yearly rent of£30.

On the motion of Alderman Cooke, seconded'byCapt. Newport , it was resolved to raise the front wallof same, at the expense of the corporation.

ANCHORAGE AT PASSAOE.On the motion of Mr. Gallwey, seconded by Mr.

Ryan , the anchorage at Passage was re-let to Mr.'Conn at £14 per year.

Mr. D OBBYN said it was Mr. Budd who establishedthe rit;ht of the corporation to the anchorage, oniafter doing so they gave it to Mr. Conn (hear.)

RAILWAY BILL.Aid. MACKESY handed in a copy of a petition to

parliament—which he was requested to bring beforethe council for their adoption—in favour of a bill atpresent pending before the legislature, from the Kil-kenny and Southern and Western railway company,whereby it is proposed to renew the powers of thatcompany for the compulsory purchase of lands forthe construction of their railway, and for other pur-poses—and stating that the district through whichthe railway is intended to pass is at present destituteof railway accommodation, and that the inhabitant*labour under great disadvantages for tho want ofsuch communication—that in consequence thereofthe trafnc which would be brought to the port ofWaterford is now diverted by an unnatural and ex.pensive course to Dublin , to the injury of the inha.hitauts of the district— and finall y, that the proposedrailway is calculated to increase the traffic , and de-velop the resources of the district through which .itis intended to pass, and by improving the communi-cations with other places by opening markets to theproduce of that district , by employment of labour,and circulation of money, to promote the prospe-ritv of the district , and the surrounding country.

The MAYOR said as they had not a copy of the billreferred to he did not think the council could at pre-sent entertain it.

The matter then dropped, and the council adjournedto next day.

WEDNESDAY.The following members attended the adjourned

meeting this day— •The MAYOR in the chair. ^

RESIGNATION OF MR. TI10HNT0N.The TOWN CLERK , read a letter from Mr. James

Thornton , giving a detailed statement of all the cor-porate works superintended by him since his appoint-ment to office , and stating that lie had , from theeconomy he used in their management, saved hun-dreds of pounds to the corporation. Hesides the cor-porate works, he had to superintend a vast deal ofpublic work s, which, at the time of his appointment ,fie did not expect or calculate on , and for which ex-tra work , amuuntim: to £20,000, he considered hewas entitled to compensation. Mr. Thornton con-cluded his letter by tendering his resignation of theoHice of superintendent of the works of the corpora-tion.

Mr. R YAN moved , and Captain Newportseconded ," That Mr. Thornton 's resignation be accepted."—Agreed to.

Alderman CUOKC said the resignation was rathersudden , and that Mr. Thornton ought to act till asuccessor be appointed.

The M AYOR said the council should at once adver-tise for a successor to Mr. Thornton.

Alderman W ALSH —He should give his exclusivetime to the coi-porntion works.

Mr. OTlctLL*—Confine it to the borough.Mr. DOB BYN suggested that the subj ect should be

discussed by the finance committee to report on thebetter mode of carrying on the borough works infuture.

After some further discussion, it was moved byAlderman Cooke, and seconded by Alderman Slaney,that they advertise for a successor to Mr. Thornton ,who must be capable of drawing mans, plans, speci-fications, &c, also of keeping detailed accounts of•the general expenditure on the borough works, and¦who is not to undertake any contracts with othersthat might interfere with his corporate duties.—Passed unanimously.

The salary is fixed at £80 per annum.STEPIIEN-STRRC T.

On an inquiry by Captain Newport as to the po-sition they stood in relation to the contemplated im-provements, it was stated by the Town Clerk andsome members of the Council tint there was someinformality in ths precept obtained—that it was putinto the bunds of Mr. Arthur Smith, solicitor, witha view of having it rectified, and that when donethe improvements will be proceeded with.

rn nii-s riif.r.r.Application was made by Mr. John Mullowney

lor a reduction ot rent of premises in Peter-street,held by him under the corporation. He stated inhis application that they scarcely p'ud the taxes, andhe hoped they would be given to him at a fair rent.

The M AYOR — What , would be " a fair rent" forpremises not capable of pay ing the taxes ? (laughter).

After reading the Miuute.of tlio> hoar.l which was ofsome length, a discusson took'placc relative to the severalsuiKMti'ms ton'-.line.1 1 therein.

The CH A I R M A N ami .ill the morn'mrs present expressedtheniiclvea much in favour of the plan laid down by Mr.Cole, anil the former remnrknl u tint with the exceptionof i;ivin^ instruction in p iblic schools, nearly the entireot the recommendation* were then in practical operationin the school , and which had boon fnuivl to work mo>tadvantageously With regard to nllurding instruction inl>uMic schools some difficulties at present offered them-selves.

The school therefore re-quired the whole of the master's time and attention andany withdrawal would DJ likely to be attended with in-jurious effects."

Doctor ' "arroll , Mr. Gallwoy and other gentlemen PX -presse'l their concurrence with the views expressed by theDean , ami remarkel that although auxiouj to carry outto the fullest extent the recommendations contained inthe Mrmoranilutn, yet that with the assistance of only onemus'er it was apparent that it would bo quite impossibleto do so without injuriously affecting the working of thepresent school.

The Hon Secretary was tiian Tcque-tcd to communicateto the Depirtmentof Practical Art, the willingness of thecommittee to carry out ns far as possible, the suggestionscontained in the memorandum referred to, and to statethe difficulties which prescntcl themselves to the carry-ing out of all the recommendations contained therein.

The following memorial wa* then real, signed by twentytwo of the principal artisan students attending the nightclass :—

To the Committn of the School of Design.G ESTLEMRS — We, the pupils who Attend the evening

class of your school , having heard that you have cnmc tothe resolution of reducing the nights of attendance tothree weekly, take leave most respectfully t« remonstratewith you Rgaiust that resolutiou, and rcquost you to re-consider it.

Yon must be aware that nearly nil the pupils who attend that da<3 are daily engage 1 in industrial pursuitsand have no timo to engage in stil ly hut the mere sch' olhours which are barely sufficient tor our properly acquir-ing even u tolerable proficiency in the beautiful hut diffi-cult art taught in your school , ami that nny reduction oftlio.se hours must therforo render it absolutely useless toattend .it all.

We wouM be exceedingly unwilling t>> interfere withany arrangements which you mi^ht think proper tomake , knowing well that nothing hut the public good canbe the motive of your resolutions; but in this case wedeem you in error, as no advantage jou could confer onany portion of the community would compensate for theevil of an ignorant or imperfectly educated workingclass

Besides other ailnntaecs the school H a recreation to us ,indeed to many it may be the i:nl y alternative betweenrational enjoyments ami loss laii'lablc ones, and infull confidence that you will not restrU-t ns in the advan-tages or pleasures which your school affords,"

We remain, Gentlemen,Your obedient -Servants.

[Here follow the names of twenty-two of the principalArtizan Students Rttcuding the night class.]

The ( "ommii tee expressed themselves much gratified :;tthe striking evidence which the memorial afforded of the.high value which the class, for whom the school was par-ticularly iuteudeJ., set on the instruction which it affonl-ed, and it was uiiauiuaously rosolved to comply with theirwishes.

Some discussion ensuerl is to the best mode of affordinginstruction at night , to females unable to attend duringthr day, when it was resolved to apply to the Trustee* ofthcSarings' Bank, for permission to use the lowir roomthroe nighis in each week for the purpose, until anotherupa'tmcnt could be procured

In reply to an enquiry from Doctor Carroll, the Chair-man stilted that the admission Committee hivl <l.*emeJ itbetter to postpone the distribut ion <>f the prizes untilWhitsuntide , as the pupils would , by tint time, be suf-ficientl y advanced to produce highly finished drawings in»lmoatcvery branch within the Drawing Master 's Dcpirt-Went.

WATERPORD UNIONBOARD OF GUARDIANS.

At the usual weekly meeting of the board onThursday (yesterday), the following guardians at-tended :—

The Assistan t Master—owing to Mr. Burke labour-ing under a severe cold—read the miuutcs of lastmeeting, and the following

COllllESI' QN 'DEXCE.1.—From the poor law commissioners, expressing

their opinions on the arrangements of the guardiansin receiving wages from a private individual , for thelabour of the workhouse inmates emp loyed at sewedmuslin work. The commissioners say they are readyto sanction such employment when conducted uponsound principles, but they consider it inexpedient andimproper for the guardians to receive wages for thelabour of the workhouse inmates, and request theguardians to take into consideration the subject, witha view to other arrangements which may be less opento obj ection.

2.—From same, not sanctioning iny change in thedietary till the medical officers report thereon.

3—From same, calling on the guardians to rescindtheir resolution to allow a second medical officer tothe Ullid dispensary district.

•1 —From Dr. Cullinan , as follows :—Kilmacow, March 24, 1853.

"G ENTLEMEN .—In the newspaper reports of theproceedings of your board on Thursday last, it wasstated that I was influenced by Mr. Carr, relievingofficer , to give certificates for persons whom I hadnot visited , for the purpose of getting outdoor relief.I must now beg, most emphatically, to say, that therewas not a shadow of cause for the allegation , and myfeeling is that no faith could , or ought to be placedin the person who would sign a certificate on themere assertion of another, in justice to me I amsure that the gentlemen of the press will give pub-licity to this—my vindication.

" I have tho honour to be, gentlemen, your veryobedient servant ,

" A LEXANDER CULMNAN ," Medical Officer

of Guardians.VOTE OF THANKS.

Captain Newport said he understood there werethree gentlemen about to leave the board , and heconsidered they should not be allowed to retire with-out a vole of thanks of the board , which they, aboveall others, deserved for their assiduity and constantattention to the interests of tho ratepayers at thathoard (hear.) He coulil not allow them to retirewithout a vote of thanks. Captai n Newport thenmoved that , in consequence of their valuable ¦Nwrvi-ces it hi*—

" Resolved—That having learned that Messrs.Dwyer, Slaney, and Lawlor, have not been re-elected as guardians of the poor for the city ofWaterford division for the ensuing year, this boardcannot allow those gentlemen to retire from theirofKce , without the wannest expression of our acknow-ledgments and thanks for the U N R E M I T T I N G atten-tion and assistance given by each of them in the dis-charge of their duties. "'

Counsellor E LLIOTT seconded the resolution , whichpassed unanimously.

FINANCES OF THE UNION.The CHAIRMAN said he had a long interview .with

the treasurer that morning, and informed him "thatthe whole amount of rates outstanding uncollectedwas about £4100—that goes to pay their presentdebts. To-morrow (Friday) they would have tomeet claims to the amount of £2500. The commis-sioners will allow the guardians to borro w £4500but they will not allow them to pay interest thereonout of the poor rates. The treasurer says lie willgive the money but he must have a personal guaran-tee from the guardians for the interest , which wouldbe about £100. He would be satisfied with the per-sonal guarantee of four respectable guardians forthat amount. Some guardians said they wouldgive the guaran tee required provided the commis-sioners allowed the profits of the muslin work to gointo their hands to meet the interest on the loan.If not their checks on Monday would be dishonour-ed at the bank.

The Clerk said the bank allowed one-h alf per cent,on over lodgments by the guardians, but unfortu-nately latterl y they had very littl e (laughter.) Kil-lnactliomas owed £1400, and as the guardians hadlately made a rate that sum, it was expected , would besoon paid.

Chairman—The sum to be collected of the rates isabout £3,000. A new rate of 2s. will realise about£5,000.

After some observations it was resolved that a rateof 2s. in the £ be declared on the electoral divisionof Waterford , and that the collectors be cautioned touse every possible exertion to collect the outstandingrates. o . . [l^ NEW GUARDIANS.

ULLID „ Andrew MackeyWOODSTOWN „ Robert Carroll ,

MR. MURPHY.A letter was read by the chairman from Mr. James

J. Murphy, late rate collector, stating that, at theconclusion of Mr. Hcwetson 's collection, it would befound his returns are correct.

DISPENSARIES.Dr. Mackesy brought forward the subject of out-

door relief to sick destitute persons, and Handed in aform of certificate to be signed by the medical officerof the district , in all cases where the removal of thepatients would be attended with danger.

A discussion ensued on this s\ibject when it a\>-pearetl to be the general opinion of the board thatit would be much better, when it could be safel ydone, to remove sick persons to the workhouse orfever hospital , where they would receive much moreattention than in the country. It was resolved o;ito provide covered vehicles for convey ing the sickpoor from the various dispensary districts of theunion to the workhouse or fever hospital.

DIETARY , &C.The medical officers brought forward a report ,

staling, in explanation to a letter of the commission-ers relative to the mortality in the workhouse, that ofthirty-four deaths in one week , fifteen were brokendown bv disease and old age, and the majority of theremainder were young children and infants who diedof measles, principally in the fever hospital sheds.

A conversation ensued on the contemplated changeof the dietary, and Alderman Slaney said, abouttwo years ago his attention was called to the differ-ence between the children at New Ross and Water-ford workhouses, the latter being generally affectedwith diarrhea in consequence of the food not beingsufficientl y nutritious. He then advocated a changeto a bread diet which was adopted , and the result isthat since the change there have not been one-tenththe number of deaths. The board should be cau-tious how they made any change from good bread toworse, as the result would in the end be more expen-sive.

CONTRACTS.Mr. Dwyer complained that the day the tenders

were scut "in one for flour at ;52s per sack was notproduced , nnd it was as good, if not butter, than theone selected at a higher price.

Capt. Newport said he had been informed the daybefore at the town council meeting that Mr. Reidhad sent in a tender for oatmeal, and a worse descrip-tion , and a dearer, had been selected. There shouldbe an inquiry into this "superfine" j obbing with aview to put it down. If jobbing went on the personsguilty of it ought to be punished.

The Chairman said he was most anxious on thatoccasion to have everything fairly done, and Mr.Spencer and Mr. Cadogan , being judges of flour ,were requested to examine the samples. Privatemarks were previously placed on the samples by theclerk , so that the owner of each could not be knowntill the selection was made. If samples were notbrought before him he could not help that.

Mr. Cadogan said Mr. Dwyer was passing a voteof censure on himself, for he was one of the mostactive in selecting the samples (hear). No mancould tell who owned them. Mr. Devereux sent ina tender for supp lying second flour for one month at32s. Gd , and if for three months at 35s. There neverwas a fairer selection made than on this occasion.

Mr. Hully said it was he recommended the selec-tion of the 'oatmeal—he did so because it was thebest, for he didn 't care a straw whose was approvedof provided it was the best.

The chairman , Mr. Cadogan and the other guard-ians who attended the selection of tenders were un-der the impression that Mr. Devereux 's tender wasaccepted for three months at 32s. Od. It was, how-ever, a mistake on their part , as the tender expressedlystated that Mr. Devereux would not supply flour forthree months under 35s., but would for one month at32s. (3d.

A very stormy and angry discussion ensued , dur-ing which strong language was made use of by a fewmembers of the board , so much so that Mr. LU.'ubynleft the chair, and Mr. Hamilton , inspector, said thopolice ought to be sent for, if such language as hadbeen used were persevered in.

The " amende honorable" having been made, Mr.Dobbyn resumed the chair , and the usual businesswas proceeded with.

Mr. Devoreux, the contractor for the flour , havingbeen sent for an exp lanation took place relative tothe tender, much in favour of Mr. Devereux, whooffered very fair terms to the board , after which itwas resolved to serve notice on tho contractor to endthe contract at the expiration of one month, and thenenter into anew one.

THANKS.Capt. Newport said as several guardians had en-

tered the board room since the vote of thanks toMessrs. Slaney, Dwyer, and Lawlcr, had been unani-mously passed, he deemed it necessary to read itagain. Having read it ,

Mr. Cadogan said—I approve of it as respects Mr.Slaney and Mr. Dwyer, but I disapprove of anythanks being given to Mr. Lawler (laughter) .

The contract for beer, 2 Is. a barrel , was given tothe Newgate-street brewery.

It was resolved not to contract for new tin vessels,as directed by the Commisbioners, the board deemingthem unnecessary and expensive.

After some other matters of no generfil interestwere disposed of, the board adjourned.

TOWN COUNCIL OF WATERFORD.

GENTLEMEN,—

IN compliance with the expressed wish of severalmeoihers of your body, I take leave to offer

myself-as a candidate for the vacant office of Super-intendent of Corporate Works.

As I am aware that personal considerations shouldnot influence you in the appointment, and convincedthat you will consider it your duty only to consultthe public interests, I deem it more respectful toyou to refrain from all personal canvass, more parti-cularly, as I believe, that I am sufficiently knownto each member of the Council to enable him toform an opinion on my qualifications.

The interest which I have hitherto manifested inevery matter which appeared to me conducive tothe well-being of my native oity will furnish the bestsecurity which I can offer for a faithful discharge ofthe duties.

Should I be the object of your choice, if I fail togive general satisfaction, I will at the expiration ofone year resign the office into your hands.

I have the honor to be,Gentlemen,

Your obedient, humble servant,JOHN HUDSON

Proselytisui In Waterford—Dr. Bell Unmasked

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WATERFORD NEWS.SIR—I should be greatly mistaken if your nume-

rous Catholic leaders and subscribers, who have beenattentive to, or have taken the least interest in therecent " conversions" to the Catholic faith in theWaterford poor house, be not fully convinced , fro mthe subj oined " declaration ," of the vile and shame-less practices resorted to hy your Waterford " Pro-Rel ytizers," in corrupting and , if possible, in extin-guishing the faith of such famishing creatures, who,ofF their guard for the moment, listen to the " voiceof the tempter," and , by so doing, fall an easy andunconscious prey into those infernal meshes so art-fully laid to entrap their poor souls.

This plain " declaration" of Mrs. Brown speaksvolumes on the "machinations and artifices " of the" princi pals" and of their worthy associate Mr. Sul-livan , the bible expounder ; and no matter whatamount of sophistry, falsehood, or mis-representationMr. Bell may draw on to decoy the readers of hisstatement into a disbelief of the reality of the recentconversions from Protestantism—or, as it is termedin ConneinRra , 'Broth-es-tant-ism'—th e fact ofthnseconversions is patent and notorious, for it can beproved from the free and voluntary declarations ofthe individuals themselves, witnessed by competentand respectable persons.

I am , Sir,&c, &c, &'c,

CATHOLICUS.

THE DECLARATION OF MARY DROWN AN INMATE OF TIIF.WATERFOn f) WORKHOUSE.

I Mnry Brown, am heartily sorry for having sentmy children to attend the Ragged School in Water-ford, and for having myself listened to heretical doc-trine from Mr. Bell, Mr. Morgan, and other Protes-tant ministers. I have not enjoyed one moment 'speace since I joined the Proselytisers. I alwaysknew and believed the Catholic religion to be theonl y true one, and my object in outwardl y conform-ing to Protestanism was to procure for myself nndchildren the weekly money and the daily stiraboutgiven by Mr. Bell and Mr. Morgan to such Catho-lics as are weak enough to deny their fai th for lucre,to which dreadful sin I have heen tempted, by beingat the time with my children hal f dead from hunger.I now beg pardon of the Almighty God for my sins,and hope I would die a thousand deaths rather thanever more do the same. I make this statement vo-luntaril y and with the view of repairing as far as> inmy power the scandal I may have given by mynpostacy, and as I apprehend that other poor hungryCatholics may be ensnared as I have been , I thinkit right to caution them by declaring on this occasionthat a John Sullivan a bible reader and an agent andcoadjutor to Mr. Bell and his confreres in this wickedunchristian work , strove to induce me to put myname on the Poorhouse register as a Protestant whenentering, and promised if I did so, Mr. Bell wouldstand to rnyself and family, and that he would wellreward us.' Again I beg pardon of God, and theprayers of the faithful for myself and children.

Signed, herMARY X BROWN.

? HATEFUL SPRING

{From the French of Berenger.)i.

From my window I beheld her,All the dreary winter through ;

Strangers both, we loved each other,Through mid air our kisses flew,

'Twixt the lime-trees' leafless branches.We would love-sick glances fling-

Now the leave:: Gill thick between us,Why return, thou hateful. Spring ?

II.

No more 1 see her angel form,Hidden by those envious leaves,

Come forth to feed the shivering linnets,When frost lay white upon the eaves.

My heart would watch as some dear signal,The fluttering of each tiny wing ;

Ttiat snow than thee was far more lovely-Then why return, thou hateful Spring ?

III.

Wert thou away, I still might see her,Rising from her gentle sleep—

FreBh and rosy as th« morning,Smiling on some cloudy steep-

Still might say, when eve was closing," My Btar's light now is vanishing

Her lamp expires, she calmly slumbers !"Oh! why return, thou hateful Spring ?

IV.

Winter, winter, I implore thee,With a lunging heart to come ;

Twine thy frost-wreaths round my window,Fling thy hail showers round my home.

But vernal breeze and tinted flowersTo my dull heart no joy can bring,

The weary days flit by in sadness-Then, why return, thou hateful Spring ?

Works of true merit are seldom very popular in theirown day ; for knowledge is on the march , and menof genius are the " Prrestolatores or Videttes" thatare far in advance of their comrades. They are notwith them, but before them ; not in the camp, butbeyond it. The works of Sciolists and Dullards arestill more unpopular, but from a cause ; and theirs isan unpopularity that will remain, because they arenot before the main body but behind it; and as itproceeds, every moment increases the distance ofthose sluzerards that are sleeping in the rear, but di-minishes the distance of those heroes that have takenpost in the van. Who then stands the best chanceof that paltry prize, contemporaneous approbation ?He whose mediocrity of progress distances not hiscomrades, and whose equality of merit aflbrds a levelon which friendship may be built. Who is not sodull but that he has something to teach , and not sowise as to have nothing to learn ? Who is not so farbefore his companions as to be unperceived nor so farbehind them as to be unregarded ?

HEALTH AND WEALTH —There is this differenceLetween those two temporal blessings—health andv ealth ; wealth is the most envied, but the least en-j t yed ; health is the most enjoyed , but the least en-vied ; and this superiority of the latter is still moreobvious when we reflect that the poorest man wouldnot part with health for wealth, but that the richestwould gladly part with all his wealth for health .

COMMON SENSE.—Fine sense and exalted sense arenot half so valuable as common sense. There areitrty men of wit for one man of sense; and he that•will carry nothing about him but gold, will be everyday at a loss for want of readier change.

AN ELECTRIC LADY.—The German papers give anaccount of an Austrian lady who is so charged withelectricity, that sparks are constantly given out fromher fingers' ends. It is seldom that a lady is foundsending sparks away from her, though it is a commonattribute of the sex to attract sparks, and even totwirl them round the fi nger with the greatest ease.We suspect that the account in the German papersif—like the electric lady herself—a little over-charged.

P A RL I A M E N T A R Y PRO-CEEDINGS.

8IX-MILG BRIDGE.

"On Thursday in the House of Commons, Mr. Ex-Attorney-General Napier's motion on the late proceed-ings in the Six-mile Bridge* case, resolved itself intoa bitter attack upon the Government for not havingprosecuted the Catholic clergymen, against whom theAdministration of Lord Derby institutedaprosecution.Messrs. Whiteside and Cairnes (Belfast,) Mr. J. D.Fitzgerald, Sir J. Young, and Mr. Cockburn ablydefended the course adopted by the present Attor-ney-General for Ireland. The papers moved for byMr. Napier were ordered.

THE LAND COMMITTEE.The Irish Land Committee met twice during the

present week—on Thursday, and ngain next mom-ing, Mr. Bouverie presiding. Nothing of any greatimportance occurred at Tuesday 's conference. Somefurther clauses of the Leasing Powers Bill were con-sidered and slightly amended. Nearly all the Te-nant Right members mustered early and remaineduntil the adjournment of the Committee.

The ninth clause respecting agricultural covenantswas under discussion for some hours. Incidentallythe committee debated the right j¥<-' the tenant tothose improvements which he af&cts. bjt.his -laboin-and industry in the sale. After an animated discus-sion the committee resolved by a majority of thir-teen to nine, that all improvements made by thetenant should be regarded as his property and hisproperty alone. Lord Palmerston and Sir JohnYoung voted with the majority against the land-lord pwty, and thereby lent the sanction of their highauthority to the recognition of this important prin-ciple. !

In the House of Lord«, on Friday night, the royalassent was given by commission to several bills.

SIX-MILE BRIDGE.On . the motion of the Earl of DERBY, certain

papers relative to the Six-mile-bridge affair wereordered.

The Earl of CARDIGAN , however, took the oppor-tunity of passing a general censure upon the con-duct of the Government in the matter, and wascalled to order by the Earl of Aberdeen for irre-gularity.

LONDON POOR.The Earl of SIIAFTSBYRY drew attention to the

violent displacement of the poor, occasioned bybills which had for their object the improvement othe metropolis. The noble lord moved an additionto the standing orders, with a view to remedy thisgrievance.

The. motion was, after some discussion, withdrawn.; SYDNEY.

Lori MONTEACLE prsssnted a petition from thediocesa of Sydney, protesting against the introduc-tion of any system of Church government into thecolonies in which the bishop, clergy, and laityshould; not meet in one council with one jurisdiction.

The; Archbishop of CANTERBURY believed thatsome legislation on the subje ct was necessary, but atthe same time he consideted it was a matter of greatdifficulty.

The; Duke of N EWCASTLE declined to enter into anydiscussion, but explained that the colonial bishops hadnot impugned the Queen's supremacy.

After some further discussion, in which the Bishopof EXETER and Lord MONTEAGLE differed as to theconstitutional origin of the Queen 's supremacy,

Their lordships, on the motion of- the Earl ofA BERDEEN , adjourned until the 4th of April.

In the House (if Commons, on Friday, the MaldonElection Committte reported that Dr. Du Cane andMr. Miller were unseated, on the ground that briberyhad b<;en practised at their election.

ADJOURNM ENT.On Lord John Russell's motion , that the House at

its rising soouuU adjourn to the 4th of April,Lord JOCELYN , after an introductory speech, in-

quired what measures had been adopted for the relieiof the Ameers of Scinde.

Sir CHARLES WOOD declined to discuss the pointsraised by his lordship, but said that the subj ect wasunder consideration , and that , in the meantime,an allowance would be made to the individuals ,inquestion.

Lord John Russell's motion was agreed to.A discussion arose on Lord John Russell's next

motion, for giving orders of the day precedence overNOTICES OF MOTIONS.

Mr.- D ISRAELI , on behalf of the Opposition andof independent members, obj ected to a proposal fortaking away a inoiety of the days allowed to thelatter.

Lor i J. RUSSELL contended that in consequence ofthe increase of duties thrown upon the Governmentthe proposed arrangement was necessary, but con-sented to defer its commencement until the 18th ofApril.

Mr., Williams, Mr. Duncombe, Lord R. Grosvenor,and Mr. Walpole took part in the discussion, and ondivision Lord John Russell's motion was carried by171 tO 1.39. EDUCATION.

Lord J. RUSSE I.L gave notice that on the 4th Aprilhe should state the intentions of the Government onthe Question of Education in England and Wales,and that on the same day the Chancellor of the Ex-chequer would state on what day (an early one) heshould introduce the budget.

THE MADIA!.In reply to Mr. BLACKETT , Lord JOHN RUSSELL

said that Government would support tlie representa-tions o!? the Sardinian Government to that of Austria onthe subject of recent sequestrations, and that LordClarendon had setit instructions to that effect to ourambasnador at Vienna, but that it had been intimatedthat such sequestrations were not to be continued ex-cept in the case of those actually implicated in re-cent disturbances. He then stated, amid the cheersof the House , that a telegraphic message had beenreceived , announcing that the Madiai had been libe-rated by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and that theyhad left that country.

GRAVEYARDS.Lord PALM T-RSTON, in answer to Mr. WHALLEY ,

said that he had instructed a member of the Boardof Health to inspect all the graveyards in the metro-polis, and that as his reports were received, orders incouncil would be obtained for shutting up the variousplaces of interment, all of which would, he hoped,be speedily closed.

. CLERGY RF.SERVES.The House went into Committee on the Clergy

Reserves (Canada) Bill, and the discussion of thefirst two clauses occupied ft large portion of the sit-ting. In addition to the ordinary debate of a com-mittee, several of the speakers reiterated argumentswhich, in previous stages, had been advanced onthe general question. Two out of the three clausesof the bill having been agreed to, and the third beingput,

Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed to omit this clause(which went to repeal the provision of previous legis-lation for charging deficiencies on the ConsolidatedFund), and after sketching the history of the gua-rantee:, said that, as no intimation had been givento the Canadians as to this clause, it was thoughtthat it might be desirable to exclude it. It had beenconsidered, therefore, that the Duke of Newcastleshould write to the Governor-General of Canada,and n:ate that no other terms would be imposed thanthose which had been communicated , and that hisExcellency should lay the 'matter before the Cana-dian Parliament, with a recommendation to thatbody to take steps just as would meet the justice ofthe case.

Mr. Mi ALL complained of the omission as n de-parture from the principle of the measure, and as anevidence that it was feared to trust the colonists. Heshould divide against such omission.

Mr. VERNON SMITH thought that, after the state-ment of Lord John Russell , they ought to wait tohear from the colony before proceeding with the bill.He wt .rned the House against supporting a dominantChurch in Canada, to which the exclusion of thisclause tended.

Mr, ADDERLCY was opposed to subsidizing a colonyor its Church, and thought that for the paltry sumin question the Canadian Church ought not to beput in to an odious position. He should support Mr.MiilL

Tho CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer repudiated theidea of anything like compromise in the matter, andsaid that the decision to omit the clause was theresult of careful consideration by the Government.Admitting that it was undesirable to pension anycolonial Church out of the funds of this country, he«aid that the present question was simply one as tothe proper form and order of proceeding. He ex-pressed warm approbation of the legislation by which,in 18-10, this guarantee had b^n gi™ ana- aslccdwhether it would be wise and just to remove thatguarantee without first hearing the parties concerned.

It was not sought 'to give any additional weight foit j but when the' decision of /the .colonists' shouldbe known, then would be the time for Ministers andthe Parliament to consider what 'should be done inregard to the guarantee. His hope was that no bur-den would be entailed upon the: people of Englandin respect to it, and years must elapse before it could ;but, at all events, it would not be. consistent with thegood faith always manifested by the House to doaway with this security in a precipitate manner.

Mr. H UME complained that the Chancellor of theExchequer had forgotten his proper character—thatof a defender of the Consolidated Fund ; and he de-manded why thisi clause had been introduced intothe bill at all, if it were to be withdrawn.

Mr. DISRAELI sarcastically upon a " carefullv-con-sidered bill," of which the first clause had to be al-tered , the seconded was a parenthesis, and the thirdwas to be omitted'. He could only come to the con-clusion that there had been a change of policy on thepart of the Administration. He was desirous toknow whether Sir W. Molesworth concurred in thenew policy. It would, he thought, be decorous, un-der the circumstances which had that night beenstated , to pause for the opinion of the colonists. Cha-racterising the measure as an immature and unsatis-factory one, he moved that progress be reported.

Lord J. R USSELL, after explaining the formalitieswhich must take place, and, therefore, the time thatmust elapse, before the opinion of the colonists couldbe taken , contended that the Canadian Parliamenthad applied for leave to legislate on these reserves,and , in ju stice to Canada, he considered that his mea-sure ought to be sent out to the colony.

Mr. BRIGHT thought, in opposition to the Chancel-lor of the Exchequer, that this was the time for tak-ing the guarantee into consideration, but expresseddoubts whether there were really anything in it all.He hoped and believed that the reserves would all bespeedily secularised, and he thought it an impudentproposition that money should be taken out of thetaxes of our own people to maintain a sect thousandsof miles away. He re-advised Lord J. Russell to bejus ter and bolder in following out his own right con-victions. He was for passing the bill in some shapeor other.

Mr. DISRAELI 'S motion was then withdrawn, andthe original question put.

Sir GEORGE G REY begged to remind the Govern-ment that the guarantee was not given with a view tosuch a coutingency as was now expected , namely,the secularization of the reserves. But he shouldvote f or the omission of the claus», deeming that wewere to a certain extent bound by the guarantee.

The committee then divided, and the numberswere—

For omitting the clause 176For retaining it 108

Majority for Government JEWS.

Majority lor Government 68JEWS.

The third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Billwas fixed for the 11th of April.

The other orders of the day being disposed of, theHouse rose for the Easter holidays.

ROSS BOARD OF GUARDIANS—MARCH 16

About 12 o'clock, the Guardians commenced as-sembling, when the admission of paupers was pro-ceeded with,

Mr. JOHN O'FARRELL in the chair.Tlie following Guardians also were then , or subse-

ings made by "The People" on that day fortnight,in which a Guardian was represented to have statedthat a contract had been entered into after the pro-per hour. From this expression having gone forthwithout being contradicted by the Board, the publicbelieved that it was true, and a letter was foundedupon it containing false and libellous charges againstthe Board. The Board on the last day had come tothe resolution of consulting their Luw Agent uponthe point.

The minutes of last meeting were read by the Clerkand confirmed , Mr. Purcell scrutinizing the severalBooks of the House Infirmary and Hospital, beforeattachin g to them his signature.

The Medical Officer , Dr. Mullen, reported that thelabour in Weaving in the Auxiliary House was toosevere for young girls, and that in consequeuce theirhealth was delicate. He suggested that in futureonly full grown girls be employed, and that they re-ceive an additional meal.

Mr. Shaw, the Master of the Auxiliary House,concurre d in the statement, and believed that one ortwo of the girls had already become consumptive.

Mr. Magee urged the necessity of granting the ad-ditional meal. There are eleven girls employed at thelooms, and their appearance was quite different fromthat of the other girls.

The Board were unanimous in granting the thirdmeal to females engaged in such employment.

On the motion of Mr. Magee, £5 was granted toDaniel Ryan, a pauper boy, who for some time as-sisted the Clerk in making up the Books, to enablehim to emigrate to America.

Mr. Warren proposed, that in consequence of theRev. Mr. Doyle having stated publicly that he wasinformed by Mr. Sweetman,' a Guardian, that hewould resign unless a few honest and capable menwere sent in to work with him.—Resolved—ThatMr. Sweetman be' called on to explain the abovestatement.

Mr. P'inn seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.

The Board theni separated—[People.]

NEW ROSS GUARDIANS—PUBLICMEETING.

A meeting equal in numbers in determined energyand unanimity, to any of the meetings held duringthe preparation for Mr. Duffy's election, was held inRoss on Thursday in the Tholsel. Among those>resent we observed the Catholic Clergy of the sur-

rounding districts :—Rev. John Rickard, P.P., Rev.Thomas Clancy, Rev. W. Lambert, Rev. ThomasDoy le, Tintern. The guardians put in nominationby the people are—James Browne, Michael Power,and John Bryan. About three o'clock Mr. EdwnrdDoherty, of Irishtown, was called to the chair. Theobjec t of the meeting was to select independent guar-dians of the poor for the year 1854.—[Ibid.]

CLONMEL ASSIZESAN EMBRYO A POSTLE .—A fellow named Maurice

Jennings was sentenced to seven years' transportation,having pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing someproperty from the house of the Rev. Mr. Drury, Pro-testant curate. Jennings was formerly imprisonedfor twelve months for sheep-stealing ; and finding,on his release from jail, that he had a call, appliedto the Rev. Dan. Foley, who received the distin-guished convert, amidst the 'jubilates ' of the soupersaints. Jennings was soon a vessel of election—afterthe abominations of Popery had been well scouredout of him by a course of Friday soupings—nndwas put in training for the mission as a Scripturereader ; but whilst he was learning anti-Maria(Gregg's), theology, the horrors of the confessional,and praying for the dead, he was fingering tho par-son's silver spoons and handy property. But cruelJudge Crampton has deprived his country of theservices of this intended successor of St. Patrick.Jennings was not a native of Clonmel, but he wasremarkable as being the only convert that the Clon-mel Sonpcrs could parade for the Exeter Hall dupesin return for the thousands of pounds squandered bythem during the last few yeais.—[Limerick Re-porter,]

A1 letter of that date informs usthat the committee of the Senate, on the demand ofMarshal Narvaez to have his case examined by theSenate, has decided against the proposition that heshall have a trial by his peers, and also against theproposition that the Senate should pass to the orderof the day on his claim. The committee has now todecide on the proposition that the marshal shall bepermitted to come to Madrid to take his seat as asenator.

GERMANY.• The latest advices from Vienna state that thehealth of the emperor is completely restored. It isstated that the intention of the Austrian governmentis to continue indefinitely the blockade of the cantonof Ticino without making any attempt at occupation.

ITALY.MILAN .—Count Giulay has relieved the inhabi-

tan ts from the obligation of illuminating their housesat night. In case, however, a cannot-shot from thecastle—the signal of alarm—is fired , the whole cityis to be immediately illuminated, the doors are to beclosed, and the streets deserted.

MONTENEGRO.Tlie Turks have evacuated Montenegro. Omer

Pasha had retired into Albania, Reis Pasha to Nic-sitch, and Dervis Pasha to Kowienne. The Monte-negrins Jiad attacked the last-named general andentirely routed him. It appears that one of the pri-soners, named Samaritch, who could not continuehis route on account of fatigue and suffering, wasshot by the Turks. Tlie Montenegrins, on hearingof his death, determined to avenge it, and attackingthe Turks, completely defeated Dervis Pasha, andtook booty to the amount of 6,000 florins.

AMERICA.The " America" steamship arrived at Liverpool on

Monday ; the " Washington" at Southampton onthe same day ; and the " Arctic" at Liverpool onWednesday. By the latter arrival we have advicesfrom New York to the 4th instant. General Piercewas formally inaugurated as president on the 4thinstant, at Washington, amid the striking demonstra-tions of enthusiasm. He was conducted to the Capi-tol by a very numerous procession, composed of judi-cial personages, clergy, military, members of theSenate, foreign, ministers, corporate authorities, andother official dignitaries. At half-past one o'clock,all being arranged , the oath of office was adminis-tered to General Pierce by the Chief Justice, as fol-lows :—" I do solemnly affirm that I will faithfullyexecute the office of President of the United States,and will , to the best of my ability, preserve, protect,and defend the constitution of the United States."After this ceremony had been completed, the presi-dent stepped to the front of the platform, was greetedwith entusiastic cheers, and proceeded to deliver thespeech.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.The news from the Cape is ten days later than that

received by the Indian mail. It appears that thenative waggon-drivers into the sovereignty havespoken in such light terms of the victory over Mos-hesh, that some of the Kaffir chiefs are again givingevidence of subordination. Kreli's adherence isequivocal , and the governor is making arrangementsto visit this amatola chief, who, however, has by thelast accounts sent in a friendly message. GeneralCathcart left Croham's Town on the 27th of Januaryfor King William 's Town, accompanied by Major-General Yorke, Colonels Cloet and Seymour. Lieut.Colonel Eyre, 73rd Regiment, through ill-health, isabout to return to England.

BUENOS AYRES.By the arrival of the " Teviot" at Southampton on

Wednesday evening, we have news from BuenosAyres to the 2nd of February. Political matters re-mained much in the same state. The besiegers werestill outside the capital , andoccasional sKirtnisheshadtaken place. Two sons of the Commander-in-Chiefhad fallen into the hands of Lagos, but by the inter-position of tlie French Admiral they were restored totheir friends. The capital had been well fortified ,and those persons professing neutrality were wellarmed, and should their persons or property be me-naced, they were determined to fight hard. Cols.Rosas, de J. Belgrano and Acosta were marchingfrom the south towards the capital with a strongforce. They had an engagement at Salada with theenemy, whom they routed.

AUSTRALIA.The Australian steamer "Sydney" arrived at Ply-

mouth on Wednesday evening. Her dates are :—Sydney, Dec. 4; Port Phili p, 11 ; Adelaide, 17;King George's Sound , Jan. 1; Cape of Good Hope,Feb. C ; St. Vincent , March 2. She has 122 adultand 17 children passengers, 175,790 ounces of goldon freight.

By the overland mail we have received later ad-vices from the Australian colonies ; the " Ckusan,"which left Sydney, Dec. 28 ; Melbourne, Jan. 3 ;and Adelaide, Jan. 16 ; having succeeded in deli-vering her mails at Celon in time for the Hindostansteamer, bound to Suez. The intelligence by thisarrival is highly satisfactory. The yield of goldfrom the Victoria diggings alone amounted to about100,000 ounces a week in spite of the attractions ofthe Christmas holydays and the scarcity of water insome localities. Twelve thousand emigrants and152 ships had arrived in Port Philip during themonth of December, but though such an enormousaccession to the population had been naturally at-tended with some inconvenience, nothing approach-ing to suffering had occurred. The price of flourhad fallen considerably. The labour market waseasier, and the harvest and wool crop, both of whichhad beea abundant, had been secured in all thecolonies in good condition and without extraordinaryexpense. INDIA AND CHINA.

By overland express we have accounts from Bom-bay of the 12th , and Calcutta of the 5th of February.The latest dates from Ranroon are to the 26th ofJanuary. The health of the troops was improving.'I he stockade at Aeng Pass had been surprised byCaptain Nuthull, and captured without loss on thenight of January 6. General Steel's force was re-pulsed before the Sitang stockade. A boat expe-dition against a robber chief near Douebew was alsodriven back. A second was under orders. GeneralGodwin and an embassy had started for Ava. TheGovernor-General at Calcutta : Lord Falkland aboutto start for the hills. Lord Frederick Fitzclarenceis suffering from a severe attack of gout and fever.

No authentic particulars have been received re-garding the revolution at Ava. The latest accountsreport that General Steel had met with a reverse.

From the ' Bengal Hurkarn' of Feb. 5.—Weleamthat his Maj esty the King of Ava has been assas-sinated by the Prime Minister, who is the King'sbrother-in-law, and who has assumed his insignia ofsovereignty, though he is opposed by the adherentsof the heir apparent, a nephew of the murderedmonarch.

The total destruction by fire of the ship ' GovernorHigginson,' in the Midras roadstead, is reported.Suspicion attached to her native crew, but nothingcould be proved against any of them.

CHINA.A proclamation has been issued by the Chinese au-

thorities establishing an impost of one mace and fivecandareens per pecul on tea, in addition to the twomace laid on in 1850. This exaction will no doubtbe taken notice of by her Majesty's Superintendentof Trade, to whom it has been represented.

The export of tea from China is aboui 2,000,000lbs.under that of last year to the same date, but severalvessels will shortly leave full from Shangai. Of silk,the export is estimated at 23,000 bales.

NOTES FROM AMERICA

Ohio, Feb. 20th, 1853.OHIO.—There is no state in the Union in which I

have spent so much time as in Ohio. Having visitedthe chief city, Cincinnati, the capital, Columbus,and almost every city and town of any note withinits limits, hence I am able to speak with confidenceof its advantages and disadvantages as a place foremigrants, labourers, and farmers. This state, if weconsider its great extent of forty thousand squaremiles', its adaptation for fanning purposes ana theraising of stock, its wonderful facilities for the exportof its products and the import of merchandise, mustbe, in a very few years one of the wealthiest andmost important in the Union. Ohio has all the &d-.vantages arising from the navigation of Lake Erie,which, with the rich state of Michigan, forms hernorthern boundary, and has, in addition, fcer southern

whreb the<MJU«t:t*ke.5»«4 \^d-^hTAofo n«'.agreat highway o£com$ftiiut5irtton wHS1Whettn$-andRtteburgi'ahd -BJtOT^whilst it affords wonderful facilities' for''**e<raniipdr.;tation of mefchiomdise to,- New.Orleans-in Sre'Jsbuthita St Louis and-tbe:6.|1ieK;citiHii!ffar,«Mt>1 iheMississippi arid Missouri. The state has a great faci-lity for rauway transportation; ijrbicbj by.,tenderingaccess to markets easier, has considerably enhancedthe value, and increased the price of land. ' A farmerhaving some capital can secure a good farm for him-self and family in thip state, and sufficiently near tochurches and schools/which ought to be the primaryobject to the Catholic emigrant For labourers, it isan excellent state ; there is no slavery as in Mis-souri and Kentucky, and hence labour is more valu-able. Labourers nnd here plenty of employment atall seasons, and good wages. Servant girls are paidbetter in Cincinnati than in any other place visitedby me, not even eiccepting New. Orleans. Theclasses enumerated can easily perceive that Ohio isan eligible locality. In some parts, particularly onthe lalce shore, there is a considerable sickness, fever,ague, and bilious diseases; whilst in a few other loca-lities the inhabitants are afflicted with milk sickness,arising from poisonous vegetables eaten by the cows.The cities, with the exception of Cincinnati, are notvery large, and all enjoy a fair share of the tradeand co i merce of state. It is really wonderful toobserve the very exraordinary increase in the popu-lation of the city and state during the past ten years.From all I have seen of the States, I would decidedlyprefer Ohio as a residence—for Irish farmers andlabourers.

HEALTH , MANNERS OF THE PEOPLE, &C, &C.—Ohio is generally pretty healthy, but like most 'ofthe other states, is exposed to those sudden transitionswhich so strikingly effect Europeans on coming toAmerica. Yesterday the weather was like June inIreland, and on the day preceding there was a biting,penetrating frost , accompanied with snow. Thus inthree days we have had three seasons—winter, sum-mer, and spring, and in the unnatural order as I havewritten them. Health must be seriously, even thoughinsensensibly, affected by. these sudden changes ;and the state being on three sides surrounded by anabundant supply of wet weather. Very many die ofconsumption and diseases of the chest and lungs.—They are a very cold people in Cincinnati, and thoughnot more given to business than their more westerlyneighbours of St. Louis, you feel there is a greatwant of that suavity which so strikingly shows youthat the latter are truly polished, notwithstandingtheir over attention to business. Perhaps much ofthis is owing to the different races which constitutedthe basis of society in both places. In St. Louisthere were numerous French families, and someSpanish, who by intermarriage and by their socialintercourse gave society there that character forwhich the Spaniards and the French in the old coun-try were so remarkable. In Ohio the first, or earlysettlers, at least, were rude back-woodsmen, or boor-ish Germans, or the poorest of our countrymen, andfrom this combination the present society of Ohiosprung ; and hence you meet little of that which issweet and gentle, and which so clearly marks thepolished and educated gentleman. The Catholics arevery charitable, and most of them very enifying.Those belonging to other churches are excessivelyrude ; they stand right before you in the streets, and,idiot-like, they stare you to death, having their mouthsfilled with huge cigars.

SUBURBS OF CINCINNATI .—Outside the city, for adistance of three or four miles, there are numerous man-sions belonging to the more wealthy, and villas, re-markable for the beauty of their architecture and forthe variety of plan on which they are constructed.The country residence of the Jesuits, about two milesfrom the city, occupies a very handsome site over-looking the densely-wooded hills, and the rich val-leys, and rising villages in the neighbourhood. Dur-ing the night preceding my visit, snow had fallenabundantly. The trees in the early part of the flaywere covered with snow, and the branches had allthe appearance of coral. When the sun at middayhad partially melted the snow on the branches, theearly evening frost congealed the dropp ing waters, sothat from each bra nch were suspended myriads oficicles of various forms. Tlie spttincr sun was re-flected through these, and I never witnessed a morebeau tiful sight. You would imagine yourself in somefairy land, the trees around being hung with spark-ling diamonds, reflecting the rays of a lovely westernsun.

Up to the date of this letter there was very littlefrost or snow, and now, when some has fallen, thelovers of excitement, fun , and frolic, eagerly availthemselves of the opportunity to sleigh-ride, an amuse-ment of which nearly all are passionately fond in theStates.

A USTRALIA .—The emigration from the States toAustralia will shortly equal the emigration from Ire-land here. Fifty-six vessels went from the differentports in the United States last year, all fully freightedwith adventurers for the ' diggins.' Since Jan. ofthe present 'year several others have left, and thereare more than thirty in course of preparation, allwhich will most probably leave in a few months.Boston alone sent out eight splendid ships, and ispreparing some eight or ten more. The Californianseven are leaving the mines there for the more pro-ductive ones in Australia. A company is now or-ganised to have steamers run from Panama to Aus-tralia, in which event the passage can easily be madefrom New York to Australia in thirty-five days.There is on» vessel of this line now ready (the GoldenAge) which will be the first of the line. With a lineof steamers from Galway to the States, the passageto Australia can be easily made in less than 40 days!

EDUCATION .—By a retu rn lately made, it appearsthat half a million of children are receiving gratui-tous education in the' public schools of this state, atan expense to the community of seven hundred andseventy-two thousand dollars !

THE PRESIDENT—ROBBERIES , &C.—The cabinet isnot even now finall y arranged, but must be in a fewdays, as the period for entering on office is rapidlyapproaching. The Senate passed two resolutions inreference to Central America and English encroach-ments. They are pretty strong ; but America willnot bully where the contending power is strong, asin this case.. The mail from Milwaukie was robbedon its way to Buffalo ;; it probably contained moneyintended for remittance to Ireland, and your corres-pondent was robbed of his purse on leaving the rail-cars yesterday. You will be glad to learn the amountwas small , only thirteen dollars.—[Correspondent ofthe Tablet.]

MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER.

Bristol, Thursday,The fashionable locality of Ciifton has just been

thrown into a state of the utmost excitement andalarm, in consequence of the discovery of a most ap-palling tragedy, which has been perpetrated by arespectable master shoemaker named Isaac Tucker,who after having murdered his two children, agedrespectively five and three years, by cutting theirthroats with a shoemaker's knife, put a period to hisown existence in tlie same way. It would seem fromwhat particu'ars have as yet transpired, that the de-ceased had recently taken a house upon Prince's-place, near the Royal York-crescent, Clifton, in whichfor many years Mr. Kempster, shoemaker to theQueen, carried on business, and into the possessionof which Tucker entered, with his family, only a fewdays since. To-day, at between twelve and oneo'clock, his wife had occasion to come into Bristol onsome business, and he was left at home in the housewith his children and a female servant. Soon afterhis wife left he was observed to come down stairs, goto the street door, look up and down the thoroughfare,and then go to a looking glass and survey himself,putting out his tongue and working it about in asomewhat strange manner. He then went up stairs,and soon afterwards his eldest little girl went up also.Nothing subsequently was heard of any of them, butsoon after, upon a person going up stairs, the doorwas discovered to be locked, and upon its being after-wards broken open, all three of them were discoveredquite dead, their clothes saturated with blood, andtheir throats cut.in a shocking manner, the head ofthe youngest being all but completely severed fromthe body. The instrument with which the/atal deedshad been accomplished was a shoemaker's knife hav-ing a remarkably keen edge, which was found in theroom. The fatal occurrence had created quite a sen-sation in the neighbourhood, and the house, since thebodies were discovered, ha3 been surrounded bycrowds of persons. Information has been sentto the coroner, and the inquest , will be held to-mor-row. :.

To the question of an Irish Party, since it becamea QUESTION , we have, in common with ourcontempo-poraries, devoted earnest attention, because of it*great and paramount importance. Whetherthe ma-j ority of the late Irish elections have been successesor fiilurc-s entirely depends upon tlie mannerin whichit shall he settled. Between the people and their re-creant representatives all these battles have now tobe fought over again. It is not, however, particularconstituencies alone that are concerned ; the generalinterest of the country is involved in the issue. Uponthe country at large, then , the settlement of thisquestion devolves as a primary and indispensableobligation. Before all others, it stands upon thethreshold pressing for decision. It is, virtually andin fact, the key to all the vest, the SINE QUA NON con-sideration, the" pivot on which every Irish demandturns, the sole point on which the hopes and fortunesof the people hang in anxious and trembling im-pensc.—" Wexford Guardian."

NATIVE MANUFACTUREThe letter of our esteemed correspondent, " Pro-

gress," we are compelled from unavoidable circum-stances to hold over. We regret this the more as tinsubject on which he has written is one in which wetake special interest. The employment of the pooris a matter which interests every ratepayer in We*.fovd, and we are astonished that such unaccountabljapathy should exist amongst those most interestedinthe keeping down of taxes. In Waterford they aremore alive to the public welfare, and there, as »elearn by an excellent article in the " WaterfotdNews," and to which our correspondent calls otirattention , eighty girls have left the Workhouse toeam an honest livelihood by working at embroider/.—" Wexford Guardian."

WEXFORD FAIROn Thursday, St. Patrick's Day, the fair belda

this town was largely attended with stock, and peo»pie. Horned cattle were numerous, but the qualityand condition of most rather low. Of prime beefthere was no show, the best of that clasj not exceed,ing £10. In milch cows there was a fair supply andgood demand , all thin and rough coated, but bringingprices from £8 to -£11. In dry stock and youngbeasts there was but little done at from £2 10s to £7.There were a few fat sheep sold at from 30s to 50$a he id, and ew»; and lambs from 25s. to 35s. Sheepof all kinds are scarce in the country, and must holda high figure. In prime fat pigs there was a gooddemand at 42s to 433 per cwt.

TAGHMON FAIR.This fair here on Friday was very poorly attended,

and the little business transacted much on the sameterms as those of the previous week in Wexford.-'" Wexford Guardian."

A GOOD EXAMPLE—LORD MONCKThere are few landlords who give more practical

proofs of his respect for theprinciples of Tenant-right,which he advocated so ably in the House of Com-mons, than Lord Monck. The townlBnd of Torngsr.row, in the parish of Adamstown, was leased 100years ago at 10s an acre, exclusive, of coursvojtithes. The lease some, time ago expired. LoriMonck is now giving a new lease to the represent*-tives of the old tenant, at lls an acre, including orcourse the tithe rent-charge. He fully recoenwithe principle that the tenant has the full new »whatever improvements he makes on his holding.We rejoice that one possessing his Lordship'* feeling*along with his propertyis on the Land Committee*—" Wexford People."
