IMPORTANT PROM INDIAThe following letter has been kindly given to us

for publication. It was written by a "Waterford

man who had been in the midst of the late fighting

in India :—Camp Ramnugger , 17th Dec. 1848.

D EAR , I now take up my pen to an-swer your welcome letter which I received yester-day. I don 't know what to think of this country—Idou 't believe it ever will be settled. "We are nowon the field of battle , and the first engagementover , which took p lace on the 2d, 3d and 4th inst.with a " glorious victory !"

On the 9th of last month we marched from Fe-rozepore to this ground , distance 190 miles, which-we marched in ten days, and came in with a por-tion of the enemy on the banks of the river Chinnab ,which we attacked and soon knocked them out oftheir position with little loss on our side, and up-wards of 2000 of the enemy were killed We thenpitched our tent on this ground , we on one sidethe river and the enemy on the other , 2 miles dis-laut. We remained very quiet until about the 26thof last month , when our armv commenced to makebuttresses in front of the enemy 's camp ; at whichthe whole of our army was at work until the 2d oftliis month , when they opened fire on them (theenemy) which held up from the morning of the 2duntil the night of the 4th instant , which overthrewthe enemy out of their position , with a great losson (heir side. They have now taken up a new po-sition , about 17 miles beyond the river , in a closej ung le near the mountains ; there is one of our di-visions across the river keep ing them in view. Weexpect to make another attack on them on oriibout the 21st of this month.

Our army has enough to do in this country, asthe natives are breaking out in all quarters up inMooltan. There is a strong force of our arms, andthey have plenty to do there too. There is astrong fort there , well manned with about 1800men and about 100 pieces of cannon. Our armyare ly ing in camp outside this iort for the last fourmonths , and they are likel y to remain there a goodwhile longer , as all the heavy cannon are here withus, ami they can do nothing without the heavy guns.

1 have now three fine sons , Francis , Thomas ,and Patrick. . . . 1 should like to see mynative countr y once more. This is a very uncer-tain country. When we are not in the field of bat-tle we are , perhaps , in some place where there are3S or I'O deaths in a day.

If this a flair goes well with me, which I trust itwill with the blessing of God , I think our regimentwill soon go home after it ; but I am afraid therewill be a great, loss on the side of the British thistvrtic as the " Rebels" are breaking out hi all quar-ters. If we had wings we could not be everywhereour service is requir ed at pre sent. They may settleit easy ; but if they don 't , 1 do not expect to putmy foot in a b arrack room these IS months. It isvcrv i';iti;.-u: i!!g to bo ly ing in tents so long.

The r. siuy season is now setting in. It is verylr.'.rd to In- inarchin g in the wet weather in thiscuuutrv , althoug h the peop le in our country thinkthere i.s no cold weidher here. They are mistaken.In the summer season it is so hot that it sweats alliho substance out of a man , and leaves him not::))](.• to bear the least cold in winter.

BEGGARS.A man , having the appearance of a labourer , was

brought up for street begging.Mr. Tabiteau asked him where lie was from ?Prisoner-r-From every p lace, your worships.Mr. Tabiteau ordered him to be sent over the

bridge, on his way to Freshford ; the poor fellow'snatal place.

A great many wretched looking creatures werebrought up.r.~ras,--vagrants : one ,of whom , a dis-charged soldier named Connors , became so ex-hausted in the dock, that Dr. Mackesy pronouncedhim " pulseless," and ordered that he should beimmediatel y conveyed to the poor house.

STEALING A BLANKET.A rather smart looking man (a pauper too) was

charged -?ith having a blanket in his possession,which was supposed to have been stolen from a far-mer in whose house prisoner lod ged.

Mr. Tabiteau remarked there was such a systemof pillage in the country, that he was not surprisedfarmers should not give lodging to those strollingparties.

The prisoner denied the charge ; but was re-manded.

SALE OF H U M A N BOXES !A most wretched looking woman was placed at

the bar charged with having offered far sale abag of human bones to a bone-man in John-st.

The bag was produced , and the first bone takenout of it by the constable was a human skull !

The magistrates said that they never witnessedsuch a case before.

The unfortunate woman stated that she found thebones iu fields , and on the roads.

The magistrates said that they did nj t believethat statement. Mr. Tabiteau asking prisonerwhat kind of a human being was she ?

The bones were then taken to be buried , andthe prisoner was discharged

NU1SA XCES.A man named Scofield , from John-street , was

summoned for having his yard in a filth y slate.Scofield stated his case in a very quaint manner.

He stated that he never " hend-j red the scavengersfrom clean'en out his yard ; that his tenants paidhim so bad , that he couldn 't afford to be cleanen 'after 'em ev 'ry day, your Wardshi ps. Your"Wardshi ps I gav' orthers to the public scavengersto clean it."

The Mayor—But it is your own business to cleanit • ,

Scofield—I think the principal case now , yourWordshi ps, is the privy (laughter). Ah ! there 'sno chance for a poor man to say a word here at allat all (in a subdued tone).

Scofield was then directed to have his placecleaned by 12 o'clock the next day ; if not , it wasto be done for him , at his own expense , togetherwith 'Js. Gd. a day fine.

Mr. Matthew Coffe y was summoned for a nuisancein Gow 's-lane.

It appeared in evidence that Mr. Cofley had sunka pump there and made other lmprovem eats ; butthat a new sewer to the main one was necessary,which Mr. C. agreed to construct , for which themagistrates pronounced him a resp ectable nia: i.

A couple of other nuisances were then statedby Mr. Edward Williams , &c.

Mr. Edward Elliott (solicitor) produced an actof parliament showing that it was the duty of thepolice to assist in arresting those nui sances. Mr.E. remarked that the presence of the police wherenuisances existed or were being ' removed , wouldoften , perhaps, prevent disorder and entra in.

Dr. Mackesy enquired if an officer of hea lth calledon the police to act , would they not da so ?

Captain Gunn expressed himself wi i i in g to giveall the assistance in his power.

Mr. E. T. Power appeared on the part of thenuisance abolitio.iists.

SANITARY COMMITTEE,A meeting of this Committee took place on

Monday evening, Alderman MACKESY in thechair. The following gentlemen were in attend-ance :—Rev. Messrs. Bugby, Tracy, M'Cance*Lawson, Sargint ; Alderman Slaney, Town Coun-cillor Slaney, Joseph Ambrose (solicitor), RobertA. Carleton , Edward Williams , Strangman Ri-chardson , Dr. Hunt , J. Hudson , J. G. Palmer.&c.

The Hon. Secretary read the minutes of the lastmeeting, and a letter from Dr. Malcolm, hon. sec.to the Belfast Sanitary Association, enclosing areport of the proceedings of tfiat body'Mbr thepast year , and mentioning that theyhad forwardedfrom that town petitions toparliament .mimerouslysigned , praying for a Health of Towns Bill, and aRegistration of Births, Deaths,and Marriages Bill .Dr. Malcolm further slated that the officers ofhealth in Belfast were rigorously abating; nuisancesof every descri ption , and that their labours werehems; attended with the best results.

Mr. Carleton then stated that he , in companywith the president , Dr. Mackes y.. had interviewswith Mr. Meaglier and Sir H. W. Barron , duringthe past week. They entered full y into the me-rits of the Sanitary Association on the subject ofthe necessity for introducing a Health of TownsBill , and a Registration of Births , Deaths, andMarriages Bill for Ireland. Mr. Meagher statedthat he would , in conjunction with bis colleague,and other Irish members , urge the matter strenu-ously on the government. He handed the Se-cretary two bills on the subject , which the go-vernment had introduced for Scotland , and horequested the committee to examine their provi-sions , so as to be able to report whether any oftheir provisions were applicable to Irelan d. Thematter was one of such importance that he trustedthe association woul'l continue to d evote theirbest energies to the labours they had undertaken ,anl n.)t rcl vx till t.iey had placed the sanitary re-gulations of Irish towns in a satisfactory position.

Mr. Carleton apolog ised on the part of the llevA. Alcock , who was unavoidably absent on a press-ing engagement , otherwise he should have attendedto deliver his Report of the interview between theAuxiliary Relief Committee and the deputat ionfrom that Committee , of which he was a member.

The Chairman then stated that their next busi-ness was to hear the Report from the deputation ap-pointed to wait on the Auxiliary Relief Committee ,in order to procure from them additional funds formore effectuall y cleansing the abodes of the poor ,and supplying them with straw beds at the presentemergency.

The Rev. Mr.Sarg int , one of the deputation ,said that he , the Rev. A. Alcock and Mr. Carletonwaited ou the Auxiliary Society and respectfull yput before them the obje ct of the committee. Hedid not then wish to make any comment on the re-ception they had mot with , as he considered it wouldbe bad taste to 'lo so just now , he would thereforelet it die a natural death , particulary as the chair-man was aware of it. He would merel y make oneor two observations more , relative to the deputation ,but would not allude to certain insinuations—char-ges he wouldn 't call them ,—they were not chargesof embczzelincnt , but something approaching verynear it. (Hear hear) It was said a larg e sum ofmouey had been collected in '32, that a balanceremained in hand which it was intended to keep inorder to aid in the suppression of cholera should itappear at any future time. He was one ofthe three treasurers in '32 for the largestdistrict ; within the hist few days the Rev. Mr.Lawson put into his bands a printed statement ofthe accounts , and audit of same, at that period , bywhich it appeared he received <£ 1,000 0s Id.V\r hen cholera had ceased the accounts and voucherswere submitted to two gentlemen , whom to namewas sufficient to stamp their every act with theseal of correctness ,honor and fair dealing—h e. mean tMr.Joshua Win. Strangman , who can testif y tc thestatement , and Mr. Francis Davis , who , he trustedis gone to another and a better world. The debtorside shewed a sum of £] ,'.)Q G 0s Id , and the cre-dit side a similar sum , the accou nt having beenbalanced with the sum of £'2o on hands. Thisbalance was directed to be lodged in the Bank ofIreland in li quidati on of £130 which had been rais-ed. In a note appended to the printed statement ,it was stated that the account was examined bythose'two gentlcmen ,%nembcrs of the board of health ,and every item in it found to be correct. [HereMr. Sargint , handed to our repor ter a copy of theprint ed accounts and audit , and from his extensiveexperience as an accountant , coup led with the cer-tificate of the respected auditors , he states teat henever saw a more satisfactory account, that Mr.Sargint 's having previous to the meeting, very min-utel y examined it.] The Rev. Mr. Sargint said ,in compliance with tne instructions he received , helodged the £23 balance in the Bank of Ireland , andfrom insinuations thrown out the other day he wasanxious to clear up the matter , and accordingly hecalled at the bank and received from the managera corroboration of the lodgment, [Mr. Sarginthe.ie produced a note from one of the gentlemen ofthe bank certif ying the lod gment on the 6th ofApril1833, of£23 to thecredit of the Cholera Relief Com-mittee.] He had nothing further to say, he cleared upthe matter as far as necessary, and he hoped the as-sertions or strong insinuations of those gentlemenwere considered by the committee as totally un-founded and uncalled for. In consequence ofthose insinuations, the subject was bruited aboutvery widely, for he was asked the question—notbe one, or ton , or twonty, but by a great manyof the persons whom tbey solicited for subscrip-tions " Is it possible ye have the audacity to askfor money when there is a large sum of money inhands to meet l li o present emergency ?" " Whenthat is the case," said those pet-eons, " not oneshilling shall you get from us" (hear, hear).—Those insinuations-have done a vast amount ofmischief the chairman can explain what became

of the balance, and as the treasurer of the largestfund, he (Mr. S.) thought it necessary to enterinto this explanation.

The Chairman said he only stated the feelingsof every member of the meeting, by saying thatMr. Sargiat fully and fairly accounted for every-thing he was concerned in. Of the sum of moneyin hands in 1833—about £330 was expended onthe widows and orphans caused by cholera, andthe residue, some £20 or £30, was handed ovorto the mendicity in 1837, when destitutionvery much prevailed among the working classes.

The Rev. Mr. Sarg int said that the conduct ofcertain members of the Auxiliary Relief Committee ,was most insulting, and anything but that whichmight be expected from gentlemen. For his par tifiie was to consult his own feelings lie would per-emptoril y refuse the £10 granted by the ReliefCommittee, it having been given in so unpleasant amanner.

Rev. J. Lawson said that we shoul d not blamethe whole of the Auxiliary Committee for tbe con-duct of the minority. We had been granted themoney, and he was of opinion that under these cir-cumstances we should accept it. He deplored themisunderstanding that had arisen.

Rev. F. Bugby would recommend Mr. Sargintto treat the slanders which had been insinuatedagainst him as they deserved with contempt : lethim act as he was convinced he would continue todo, fearless of the petty jealousies of individuals. —Let us lak e the money, as these were no times torefuse money, especially when required for sc im-po rtant a matter.

Doctor Bu rkitt ?aid that such an impressionAvas abroad as stated by Mr. Sargint, but it wasnow quite satisfactorily accounted for.

Rev. Mr. Sargint—Insinuations , almost directcharges, were made—the shrug of tlvj shoulder ,iind the sneer , have done their work—the mis-chief is done, and, Mr. Secretary, I request youwill remove my name from the list of the Col-lectors.

The Rev. Mr. M'Cance said he was unavoi-I ablyabsent from home, otherwise he would have at-tended with the deputation.

The Rev. Mr. Sarg int—You may congratulateyourself you were not there.

Mr. W. Slaney—How or when did the Auxi-liary Relief Association get the funds they have ?

Chairman—In IS 16-7, the time of the famine.Rev. Mr. M'Cance—They collected money

from the inhabitants, and received also a grantfrom government.

Chairman—The trustees of that fund receivedit to provide food , and therefore they objected togive it out for whitewashing. Some gentlemen,however, differed, and they consented to give £10.

A long discussion here took place among themembers present as to the best m xle of providingfunds for sanatory purposes. A vestry rate, anapp lication to the corporation , and a public sub-scription were severally sp ••ken of. It was ag-greed to divide the £10 between Trinity and St.Patrick's parishes, for the purpose of bring ing theNuisances' Act into operation in those places.

Mr. Hudson stated that a balance of £13 re-mained on hands of the £20 granted by the Aux-iliary Relief Committee. —2.50 houses had beenalread y whitewashed and cleansed with the sum of£ 10 ; and an inspector of them is paid at the rateof 8s. per week.

The Chairman said that already 400 or 500 nui-sances had been abated by notices from the Mayor.

Mr. J. Strangman Richardson made some ex-cellent observations on the powers conferred onthe corporatiou by the nuisances act , and sug-gested an application to that body for the neces-sary funds to carry out its objects.

Mr. W. Slaney, T. C, and Alderman Slaneysaid they had no doubt that if the Council wereconvinced they had the power to do so, theywould have no objection, as a body, to appropriatea portion of the corporate funds to incut the wishesof the Sanatory Association.

Mr. T. S. Richardson moved that the Rev. Mr.Bugby, Messrs. James G. Palmer , and Robert A.Carleton, wait upon the Town Council and urgethe adoption of more effective measures iu con-nexion with the powers vested in them.

It was also moved and carried that the op inionof the law officers of the crown be obtained ,through Mr. Redington , the under Secretary, asto the powers of the Council in the expenditure oftheir funds.

The Chairman announced that the lecture ofthe Ri*v. Mr. Bugby on intr amural intermentwould be delivered mi Wednesday evening, whenhe trusted there wouid be a large attendance tohear the talented gentleman 's statement on thishi ghly important subject.

TE R R H S L E DESTITUTI ON .—With in four dayslast week , inquests were held by P, Mannion , Esq.,coroner , on the bodies of six of the unfortunatepeople in this district , whose names are—John Har ',Thomas Gl ynn , Mary 1'orde, Patt Walsh , JamesWalsh, and Thomas Gibbons. In every case theverdict : of the ju ry was, '- that death was caused bydestitutio n and starvation. " In Rusmuck a wo-man who died from want of food , was found by theside of a ditch , and her body half eaten by doys.Several other death s have also occura-d, some undersimiliar revolting circumstances ; but if inquest3were held on till the wretched victims of starvation ,the coroner 's work would be the largest item in thecounty ' expenditure.— Tuam Herald.

A TAXABLE COUNTRY .—A nobleman in thiscounty, we have been credibly informed, has of-fered 600 acres of laud rent free , for a period ofseven years, to any respectable party, who will,undertake to pay the poor rate and cess thereonf or the terms specified.— Cork Examiner.

Imperial parliamentHOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY.

The Lord CHANCELLOR took his seat uponthe woolsack at five o'clock.

Lord BROUGHAM asked if it was true that theRoman and Tuscan Republicans had J aid a sacri-ligious hand on the works of art, aad had soldthem.

The Marquess of LAN SDOWNE believed thatthe reports were very much exaggerated, andthat the great works of art had not been touched,nor had any attempt been made to dispose ofthem. With regard to. the smaller works of art,he was not able to speak so positively.

POOR LAWS (IRELAND) COMMISSION.The Earl of DEVON asked whether the report

of the poor law commissioners of Ireland wouldbe laid on the table, or whether governnment inten-ded to act on the recommendation of the report. ?

The Marquiss of LAN SDOWNE was understoodto say that the government were prepared to re-commend certain alterations in the sense of thereport ; but his reply was so inaudible that itwas scarcely possible to catch its purport.

[Left sitting.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY .In the House of Commons on Friday night Mr.

HENRY HERBERT'S amendment for substitutingProperty and Income Tax in lieu of a Rate iuAid, was rejected in the House of Commons by amajority of 48 ; and the original proposition ofMinisters for advancing a grant of one hundredthousand pounds on the Rate aforesaid, was sub-sequently affirmed , the numbers being, 201 against106.

Sir G. GfiEY said he was to be brought upagain at the next commission.

Mr. HUME hoped then that the house shouldhave an account of the expenses of the next pro-secution.

IRISH RAILROADS.Sir H. W. BARRON said that, before Easter, a

deputation had waited on the noble lord at the -head of the government with regard to certainadvances of Irish railroads, and the noble lord,stated that he would, after Easter, make kno^nto the house what the determination of her Ma-jes ty's government should b_i on that question.The noble lord intimated that certain advancesshould be made to certain railroads for drainageand arterial drainage ; and he (Sir H. W. Barron)wished to ask what sum would be advanced forthose purposes, and when the subject would bebrought before the house, inasmuch as there was-an increasing distress in Ireland and great num-bers of the population out of employment.

Lord J.. R USSELL said with regard to the sub-jec t of an advance for the purpose of arterial drain-age in Ireland, it would not be long before he sta-ted a proposal to the house. It was necessary,however, that the house should proceed with therate in aid before he brought that other questionbefore the house.

PROGRESS OF LEGISLATION ANDSTARVATION !

i Legislation aud Famine are progressing ; but in'¦ a different ratio. Legislation is " d ragging its

slow length along, whilst Famine is stalkingi onward with gigantic strides, and literall y decimat-

I ing a third of the empire.: Our rulers, or rather misrulers , are gamblingj for political power , whilst the very air is tainted

with the smell of human beings struck down bystarvation. A grant of Twenty Millions to eman-cipate the blacks was heard with acclamation bythe people of England, whilst their fellow-subjectsin Irelanfi are suffered to rot by the roadside forwan t of food. And this atrocious state of thingsis to be endured by one hundred and five Irishrepresentatives, without any real or effective re-monstrance. They seem to be so familiar withfamine as to look upon it as a matter of coarse '; andEnglish and Scotch members are not to be blamedfor folk wing their example.

But are the People and the Press of Ireland sobruised in heart and spirit as to keep up only acontinual howl of unavailing discontent ? Can theydo nothing to force the Government to stop the car-Jiage. We have before us just now a list of exe-cutions, according to law, exciting the sympathy,reprobation , or astonishment of the English people,who look upon the black catalogue of famine-mur-ders in Ireland with she most phlegmatic indiffer-ence.

It might be reasonably asked do we live in the19th century, or do we profess ourselves Chris-tians ? To a disinterested stranger there must ap-pear to be something bordering on brutality in sucha state of things. It is brutal ; and we should notbe surprised at seeing the carcasses of the victimsof famine conveyed from the roadsides to the ad-joining domains as a cheap and ready manure !—Already we have seen in this comparatively well-off part of Ireland, lmman sculls exposed for sale 1

We are " mere Irish" to be sure, but in thename of humanity, Christianity, and common sensewhat can be meant by the atrocious indifference ofa Government which can look on at the slaughter ofthousands and carry on a discussion for four longmonths as to the prepriety of mitigating such hor-rid barbarities.

DUBLIN(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dublin , April 26.I seldom hear a word about Mr. Duffy here ; in

fact there is much more said nnd known of himand his co-partners in suffering—the State Prison-ers—through the provincial towns than in Dublin.Doubtless he will start a new paper, as his successin that line must be certain. His liberation mustbe looked upon as a perfect victrry over Govern-ment , and a sore blow to the fame of General At-torney Monaghan.

But is it possible that they are going to bringhim up again for trial ? If they do, every onewill laugh at them I What legislation I What amode of expending that which should be given , asyou have justl y remarked , towards making railwaysor some other useful work. Believe me that Mo-nahan has his eye on Duffy, anl he ought to bidhim good bye in time.

HINTS TO THE CORPORAT I ON.

To the Editor of tbc «Waterford' News."SIR—Our corporation has the reputation of;being

rich with surplus funds at their disposal, and h averecently it appears elected an Engineer. Nowwould it not be a wise and humane proceeding, ata season when sickness is likely to be superaddedto destitution, to afford immediate and extensiveemployment to our starving operatives, by expen-ding that money at once, and, as it were, in ad-vance, which will most probably bo laid out bydegrees during the next two or three years. TheEngineer might be directed forthwith to projectthose improvements likely to be suggested .or de-manded , and the employment afforded would re-store a littl e of the money, now lying id]e, to thepockets of those who paid it. I admit that nothingbut an emergecy could jus.if y such a course, but;surely it requires no very great skill in necioman-cy, to discover the emergency, and a fri ghtful onetoo, whilst the only ostensible disadvantage '(if itbe one) to be urged against it , is "the compressingthe work of two or three years into one, in otherwords, giving the employment likel y to arise in1850 and 1851, to 1849, nnd in acknowled gmentof the maxim, "salus popul i suprema lex" preventnumbers from perishing of want , or an epidemic,which seems to have reserved all its deadly andhideous horrors for the poor.

One half hour's perambulation through ourthoroughfares, -will exhibit abominations, whichwould not be'suffered to exist amongst tho Gothsand Vandals, and which should be swept away atonce," coute qui'il coute"

As this is not the cause of faction or of party ;but the common cause of every one of the com-munity, perhaps our civic authorities would giveit a little of that consideration bestowed at theirgeneral meetings upou subjects comparitivel y fri-volous and unimportant.

Hoping you can give this crude suggestion , acorner in your excellent paper.

I am , Sir, yours , &c, J. B.Waterford , April, 27, 1849.[We think our Correspondent is mistaken re-

garding the funds of the Corporation. —ED. N.]

THE HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS AALDERMAN FORRISTAL.

Saturday, at on adjournment of the City PettySessions, Alderman Laurence Forristal was pro-ceeded against at the suit of the Harbour Com-missioners for delivering forty tons of ballast intohis schooner the "Laurence Forristal" on the12th of March. The case was brought under the.74th section of the Harbour Acts, 0 and 10Vic, ch. 212, which decreed penal ty not exceed-ing £25 (to the use of the Commissioners) againsta master of a vessel receiving ballast from nnyperson other than the Commissioners, and asimilar penalty against the person who deliveredthe ballast.. Mr.Alcock, who appeared as councilfor the prosecution , stated that the vessel hadcleared in Waterford as with a cargo, by whichthe payment of the Waterford ballast dues wasevaded, and she entered her port of destination(Llanelly)as in ballast, by which she escaped lightdues and LlanelJy port charges. Into this hitterpart/>f the question the Bench refused to enter ,applying their consideration to the point .'whetherthe loading of the vessel was a material thatcould be fairly accounted cargo. Mr. Ilnyes, theballast contractor, a lighterman in his employ, anilthe pilot who took out the vessel, proved thatshe was laden with a description of rubbish thatcould not be worth freights or be accountedcargo. They proved that the loading was put onboard under the defendant's orders and by hisworkmen.

Mr. Walsh, who appeored for the defendent,raised several preliminary objections, wliicl i wereseriatim overruled by the Magistrates. Mr. Joh nLambert, clerk in the Custom-house, was theonly witness examined for the defence. He de-posed that the vessel took out a cargo transivc, asladen with " Irish goods." On cross-examination ,he said he thought it likey that , he had sonic por-tion of ballast on board . The Bench unani-mously decreed a conviction of £2 penalty andcosts, and accompanied the announcement by areprimand of some heated observations iised bythe forensic gentlemen on both sides.

There was another summons'against the masturof the vessel, but it was abandoned.

SANITARY COMMITTEE

We beg to call attention to our report of themeeting of this bod y which will be found in ourfirst page. We certainl y regret that any misun-derstanding should have arisen between this com-mittee ami any other bod y or number of individu alsin our city. These are tiot times when the effortsof such a usefu l bod y as the Sanitary Associationshould be lightly spoken of—more especially bypunii-s WJ J O , while they are very ready to find faultand abuse others , will do nothing themselves. Thefacts of the case, as far ss we have been able to as-certain them , arc simp l y these :—A deputationfrom the committee appointed by the Sanitary As-sociation to collect funds , was appointed to wait onthe Auxiliary Relief Committee , and Tequest fromthem a small sum of money out of the fund(«£320) which is at their disposal , :and which isnow ly ing idle. The deputation consisted of theRev. Messrs. A. Alcock , A. Sargint , and Mr. R. A.Carleton. The manner in which they were receivedmay he imagined from the tenor of Mr. Sargint'sremarks on Monday evening. We have heard va-rious versions of the matter ; but suffice it to saythese respectable men were wantonl y insulted bycertain narrow-minded individuals notwithstandingtho remonstrance of Archdeacon Bell and the othergentlemen present. These irritabl e persons whocondemned the Sanitary Association in so objection-abie a li ght , feel now angry that a- deputation re-prc sciUiu " fiie citizen s at large, should have madepublic a meeting which is anything but creditable.The deputation were perfectl y right in stating thematter as they did. We will go farther—theyshould have mentioned the parties who thus shame-full y acted.

Mr. Savg int full y vindicated his Hugh characterfrom an insinuat ion of the basest kind ; and forwhat cause he should hate been insulted we knownot. As for Messrs. Alcock and Carleton what havethey done to o ill1 ml these worth y citizens we areutterl y at a loss to know. We won 't insul t Mr.Carleton 's common sense by repeating what he hasdone—how he has sacrificed time and devoted avast deal of labour to further this admirable cause,which so directl y affects the social happ iness andprosperity of the community. Ws think Mr. C.acted wisely in not mentioning himself as an in-sulted person , for the onl y way to treat such ma-lignity is with silent contempt. We warn thosebenerob nt fault-finders who consider the sanitarycause a foolish one , that the press is a powerfuiagent and not to be sneered at as it has, we be-lieve , been done l>v them.

The Relief Committee numbers amongst it someof our most esteemed citizens who should not bemade to .-.iiiiVr i'nr llie acts of a few. Bnt there isa moral obligation upon them to make timely ex-ertion at the present crisis. Much has been doneand is doing with tho £20 granted on a formeroccasion by the Picli -.f Committee to the SanitaryAssociat ion. Alread y 250 or 300 houses havebeen thoroug hl y cleansed and whitewashed, andwe have been informed by some members of theSanitary Association that an additional grantwould be productive of the best results.

Instead of throwing obstacles in the way ofpreventing disease , let the Relief Committee aidto their utmost with the .€230 now at their com-mand— £50 would do much in this work. Wearc, therefore , hopefu l that the individuals whohave behaved so unhandsomel y will make everyreparation in their power— and' that is, cordiallyco-operate with the Sanitary Association. Wehope that we will not be compelled to return tothis subject ; and that all this misunderstandingwill at once be removed.

INTRAMURAL INTERMENT.On this grave subject the Rev. F. Bugby lec-

tured on Wednesday evening in the Town Hall.'—The lecturer, after describing the various modes ofinterment in forei gn countries , ,gave a fearful pic-ture of the crowded state of some burial places inLondon. That great city, Tith all its wealth , itsintellect , its princel y merchants, and its nobles,was far behind Paris, New York , and other citiesin point of burial ground. But this he attributed towhat , is called •' vested interests " He cited se-veral authorities demonstrative of the evil effects ,morally and physically, of intramural interment.—He pointed out the crowded , and consequently dan-gerous state of our city churchyards, amongstwhich he particularl y drew attention to Sts. John's,Patrick's, Olave's, and Christ's. He said theSociety of Friends was the only community whopaid a proper regard to this subject. He wouldrather have his body devoured by fishes than inter-red in the overgorged chnrchyards of crowded ci-ties. The Rev. gentleman concluded his eloquentappeal amid cheers.

GdT We thank our Dungarvan friend for his re-peated acts of kindness. Our " Slaney Side"friend should not take umbrage at a jocose word.—We positively declare we had no intention to offendhim. We are always happy to hear from him, andmay his talents shine out in Ins new ccuntry. ^_

WATERFORD RAILWAYS, aOn this subject we had an article prepared for

this day's paper, which We must 'now hold overtill our next. We may, in the meantime, observethat the Citizens should not allow themselves to beput off by the paltry e xcuses of Lord JOHN RUSSELL,for little does he care if our unrivalled quay wasconverted into a large pasture field and our trades-people and shopkeepers perishing of inanition .

We think the people ought to meet—Petition—and Agitate for a respectable Loan of money thatmight be expended on Railways or some other re-munerative employment AT ONCE .

We say—and say it without fear of contradiction—that every part of Ireland will have its Mayo, itsSkibbereen and its Scull if Irishmen don't, withoujdelay, pull together and bring Public Opinion tobear m A GiArtr FORM against Little RUSSELL.—We would advise the Citizens of Waterford , then ,to be up and stirring ; for unquestionabl y Govern-ment will give nothing as long as we are contentedto lie down and die !

We are very glad to perceive that Sir HENRY

R ARRON has made a move in the right direction inthe Commons ; and if the subject is not followedup, and he backed, by his Constituents , what canhe do ? He will be sneered down , as is usual .We right well know that he will be well sustainedby our honest friends, Messrs. MEAGHER andKEATING.

TO THE EDITOR OF I HE FREEMAN.St. Jarlath's Tuam , Feast of

St. Mark, 1849.DEAR SIR —Were it not for my absence in the

western districts of this diocese, I should not be-so slow in acknowledging the kind and charitaoleremittances by which I have been enabled to miti-gate some portion of the fri ghtful misery that ex-ists j ire-emiRently in those localities. The read-ers of the Freeman's Journal are not strangers tothe harrowing recitals regarding creatures wastedby hunger, being dragged by officials a distanceof near twenty miles in hopes of food , and thenon finding the officials there being doomed a^airtto attempt to return , and finall y found dead onthe way ! Would it not seem as if it were notsufficient cruelty not to relieve the starving, thatthere was a disposition to sport with the lives ofthe people. Yet I was present In Westport whenI had tkose appalling details of cruelty a- d suff-ering attested by a clergyman who witnessed atiagedy which , in any country but. onrs would notfail to excite genaral horror, and then securea remedy against the recurrence of similar scenes.

The worst feature in our present calamity isthis—the. cool and unfeeling nay, ;nsulting, man-ner in which the poor are treated by some of thoseover paid functionaries, who look on them a* ifthey were outcasts from any claims to Christiancompassion ^

As for the boasted plan of out-doorrelief, it is in reality no relief. It is a mere mnck-rj to call it by that na ne. It i«, no ilnnbt , ashort reprieve against the death that impend s overthose victims. But those who are receiving it ,are with f ew exceptions doomed persons, and I osuch a process of slow torture , that they were ata certain stage to receive an abundant supplj-.tlu-ybecome unable to use it and die of an utter lv wast-ed constitution. The relief lists, then, are nowappropriatel y called the starving lists ; and thosewhose names are enrolled omon sj them have aslittle chance of escaping ,is if a verdict of deathwith a brief respite were recorded ajj .-iinst them.

To Mr. Errington , of Carri^Ica. Kingstown , Ibe?, in the name of the afflicted poor of thisprovince, to return my very grateful acknowled g-ments for his magnific 'nt contribution of fivehundred pounds. It is clearly on its way to se-veral more or less distressed districts , aod willnot fail through that ministration of relig ion onwhich the Almi ghty pours a blessing to give con-solation to many a creature shutout of the pale ofrelief administered fiom mercenary sources. T>*others, some of whom have withheld theirnames, we are also indebted , whose contribu-tions 1 purposed to note down on co nmencin^this letter, especially one of twenty pounds ,from a benefactor who on several occasions con-with his seasonable charity the poor of this di c S2The other contributions I an obliged to deferuntil your next publication, remarking onl y thatthe halves of a five pound note from a Dubli ngentleman , of one pound from another , and ofthree pounds from Rathmines, have duly reachedme for the relief of the poor, and for which I begto return the warmest acknowledgments.—'I h3?eI found necessary to rrention now, as they statedthat for the security of the tranmission of the mo-ney, they would defer forwarding the other halvesuntil they should see the acknowled gement of thefirst in the Freeman's Journal . To the other com-passionate persons, who, like the widow in thegospel, gave of comparatively small funds, as Ipercfived from your journal , withholding theirnames, whilst they dispensed their charity , I begto convey my sincere thanks, and to assure themthat they will have, what I am sure they havefaith enough to value more than stipends wrungfrom the funds raised to relieve the poor—-thepious prayers of the patient and ill treated victimsof starvation.

I remain, dear Sir,Your very faithful servant,

DUNGARVAN.(From our own Correspondent.)

Dungarvan, April 26, 1849,

On Sunday last, an inquest was held on the

body of an infant, which was fonnd at the water's

»cbe, under Dower's timber yard. Dr. Comar

performed a p ost mortem examination on it, and

stated that the child had been still-born. The

ury returned a verdict in accordance with thevidencc of Dr. Coman and the woman who found

the body.THE UEV. MB. ELLIS AND TIIE DTING PAU

ri:B A poor man , named Huddy, took seriouslj

ill in one of the auxiliary poor-houses. He was zProtestant, i he mercy of God cast a gleam oi

divin e light into his long-erring and gloomy soul.

He saw that Luther's path to " life everlasting"

was but another road to "perdition." The se-riousness of eternity pressed heavily on his mind,

uid the voice of conscience—that stern, but safe,nonitor—asked his doubt-tossed soul " what.vaileth a man to pain the whole world, and lose

}iis own soul ?"' He sent for a Catholic priest—the Rev. Mr. O'Gorman received him into the

" one true church," and his former doubts andfears vanished. The Rev. Mr. Ellis came to hearof the poor man's spiritual regeneration, and histurning his back to Luther, and the " Law-Esta-blished Faith." The Rev. Mr. Ellis, like a cer-tain "roaring lion," runs to the \vorkhouse,knocks

it the door, and demands admission to the pre-sence of the " dying Protestant." One of thepaupers in charge of the door announces thePreacher—Huddy says he does not require hislerviccs, and the pauper door-keeper, guided byhis own good judgment in the matter, keeps th<key in his pocket. The preacher, much chagrinedreturns home, sets himself down, writes a longand vexatious " charge of tampering with th«tenets of the Protestant inmates" against the of-ficers of the workhouse, and particularly againstthe master. Mr. Commissioner Burke came downfrom Dublin to see int» the truth or falsehood ofthe charge. An investi gation tcok pluce at theworkhouse, when it appeared that the master, nor

unv other officer of the house, had never, directly^^1B y _ - - - — _ ^ _ — _ , _ _ _ _ _ _

r — — _ — _ - - j _ _ _ _ _

^

or indirectly, tampered with Huddy ;—conse-quently, Mr. Ellis'scharge turned out to be un-founded. Mr. Ellis, no doubt , is it-solved to makethe most he can of his " stock and trade" in bi-gotry, and to enhance his own value in the esti-mation of Dr. Daly ; but he should, in future,manifest more regard for truth , &c, in prefeiringserious charges against public officers , the inves-tigation of which cost the public considerable ex-)ense. The rate-payers of this Union could treat,vith the greatest indifference—nay, silent con-empt—the ranting and selfish bigotry of thosemngry and sordid Swadd ling preachers, who area pest to society ; but when their vexatious con-duct runs the public to unnecessary and wantorcosts, real ly they become a nuisance and an an-noyance almost intolerable. If ever there Was itime that Irishmen , of every creed and ratik.shoulclay aside their foolish bigotry and prejudices, andunite in peace and chanty, it is the present, ivherfamine and pl<tgue sweep over the land, mowingiown the devoted population in thousands. I for-got to mention that , after the examination , Mr.Buike proposed that It. B. Uniacke, Esq., andmother guardian, should go and ask Huddy his:reed , upon which thn poor man replied, " I ami \\oi\y lloman Catholic."

APPEARANCE OF THE CROLKRA .—On yesterdaya lad named Fitzgerald, with his mother , left th<workhouse, and went home to his own house , inThomas-street. He was suddenl y tnkc-n ill , andwas attacke 1 w'tli cramps and vomitting. —He died in about t in hours afterwards. No me-dical aid was procured. Dr Coman saw the body,md pronounced it a case of Asiatic cho 'era , andrequested the f.iiends of the deceased to have the•orp.«p interred immediately, which was done inibout six hours nfter the lad's dea'h.

Health), charged Henry Whitney for having in ayard in John-street, a large heap of dung, and astagnant pool of water, from which there was av« ry oflunsive stench, and considered it a nuis-iincn, and dangerous to the health of the city.

The Mayor—Mr. Whitney this nuisance mustbe removed.

Mr. Whitney—It will be done, immediately,your worship.

Mr. Tabiteau—Perhaps it would be well tostate for the information of parties summoned be-fore us for nuisances, that they must pay 2s. 6d.per day f"or any length of time that those nui-sances may remain unremoved after the decisionof the magistrates, with costs.

Mr. T. Clarke, T.C., was also summoned byCornelius Kyan, for h aving in a yard in Alexan-ler-street, a large pool of stagnant slimy water,"rom which on his approach to the yard he found avery bad smell.

Dr. Mackesy—Such pools or reservoirs of stag,nant lbul water at such" a crisis, when a threaten,ing epidemic is at hand are very dangerous.

Mr. Clarke— Mr. Mayor, I sunk a pump at someexpense some time 6ince in this yard for the con-venience of th e neighbours, when some lawlesscharacters destroyed it.

Mayor—We wish we could bring to justice theperpetrators of such gross conduct.

Mr. Clarke stated he would at once have theevil removed.

A few other cases of a similar character in Peter-street, were, then disposed of, all the parties pro-mising to have the nuisances removed.

WINDOW BREAKINGA suspicious looking character, Kivin«r hi«

name as John M'Carrhy, was charged by a police-man with breaking Mr. Lahore's window, a SoScm Broad-street, and taking therefrom a iar|e loaof lump sugar, valued 7s. The prisoner wass^t fortnaJ to the sessions.

LAMP BREAKING.Three females, who stated they were from the

county Cork, were charged by Constable Harty,with breaking three lamps in John-street.

Ihe prisoners pleaded poverty as their excuse,and were discharged, the magistrates orderingthem 1 s. 6d. and to be put over the bridge

HOME.We regret to hear of the desecrations and rob

beries that daily take place under the auspices othe fteebooting Government of Rome. It appearsthat Church Bells and private property of allkinds are swept away before the face of the3wner?, and in open day.

On this day we read in a Paris Paper, that thentended arrival of the French troops in Italy, haslad the effect of striking terror into the obduratelearts of many of the ringleaders in these nefa-ious transactions.

THE POTATO.We learn that this ill-fated root has suf-

fered a little by the frost. We understand thata vast quantity has been planted. Whatever somepeople may think on the subject of the ancientroot, we had misery and desolation enough, at allevents, since its disease was first discovered.

NEW YORK.We have heard it stated that many of our pooi

emigrants in New York are so destitute that shedshave been provided by the state for them.

STATE OF MAYO.Mr. Brett County Surveyor of Mayo stated

before the Lords that " 50,000 acres heretofore ircultivation, with an enormous extent of mountaiicountry, has been abandoned, and furth er that theproprietors would be glad to let those lands tem-porarily for the rates," an eminent public officeiaf the same place states that " about 50,000 diedaf famine" He likewise told the Lords that thepopulation lias decreased one fourth in some pla-ces more than half " the paupers in Ballinrobclie at the rate of 47 a day, and on Friday last the^ice-Guardians" had not one pound of provisions,lor money to buy it, nor credit, nor contractor,o keep life in the bodies of 27,000 human beings."

To Professor HOLLOVFAY.

SIR —For a long time I was a martyr to rheumatisra and Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks previou:to using your medicines, I was so bad as not to be abWto walk. I had tried doctoring and medicines of ever jkind, but all to no avail—indeed I daily got worse, ancfelt that I must shortly die. From seeing your remediesidverlised in tlie paper I take in, I thought I would give:hem a trial. I did so. I rubbed th} Ointment in as di-rected, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thicklyspread with it, and took the Pills night and morning. In•.hreo weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour>r two in the day with a stick, and in seven weeks I could;o anywhere without one. I am now, by the blessing of.5 od and your medicines, quite well, and have been at-cnHn^r. t f\ .1 IT

(For The M 'aterforS- News )I often tasted heretofo re

The Lit t PI - cup of woo,But never drank so deep ly,

Nor fuunci it ove/ llnw ;Till now a Hnle sorrow

"Was Hire the- j iassin^' wir..l.But every brec/.o is now n blj vst ,

That leaves a blight behiiul.

AHho' the enp is bitter ,And tho chill is in the bl i st,

They teach me what mankind will do,When prosper ity is I"*1!

One frown succeeds another ,Where my poverty is known ,

And those so proud to know me once,Seem anxious lod ixiwn.

But hold my heart— ih-.» (•».]'> salute—The hollow wo; Id' s <li sd.tia ,

Should only teai'h you ne'er to trustSuch worthless th ing s a~:im ;

And when the summer stv.ie dispels.Surrounding sorrows- now ,

Remember how their wintry looksLeft furrows on thy brow.

Remember what a nascsiw draught,Was sorrow's bitter cup,

And shun the friends whose shadows comeWhe.ii fortune's sun is up ;

.Remember all the bleeding wounds,Your present fate disclose,

An- 1 tho , the summer brings its heat,The winter brings its snows.

Then hold , my hca ir — do not. despair,The deepest wounds will heal,

And bett er days and brighter hours,Will banish what you feel ;

The ark of hope which decks the sky,I' ts herald is a shower,

And that which ushers in the dawn ,Appears the darkest hour.

Tho height of human happinessWill pall without alloy,

And tiro atlcast unless sonic care ,I s mingled with our jov. ,

T H E L O N E C H U R C H Y A R D .Oh! I love to muse in the lone church yard where the

the yew tree rears its head ,Where scattered about o'er its rugged plain lie the graves

of the silent dead ,Hove to sit on the abbey wall , where the ivy creeps

around,To list to the bell of ils ancient spire throw out its dismal

sound.

Oh ! the lone church yard has charms for me which theqrarden rray can 't tel l ,

For here entombed in their silent graves are the friendswhom 1 loved so well

The friends of my childhood' s hippy pleasures, she whowatched o'er my infant yo !irs,

How can I pass o'er their verdant gvavcswithoufsheddingthe biinv tear ?

Oh". I love to sit on this lone grave where the cypressrears its head ,

"When the wind is rustling throug h its leaves and thomoon her lustre sheds,

"When the twinkling stars arc shining bri ght in the blueunclouded sky.

When all is silent is silent and still around to this lonograve I hie.

For beneath this day there sleeps a maid 1 loved withfond devotion ,

"Whose anfcl smile I nri/.ed more dear than hidden gemsoi ocean,

She sleeps beneath in her lowly bed which the cypressand willows cover , ¦ • • • ' ¦', .-" " '. '.' .While I remain to pine in tears her fond and hearlbrplceVidVPi" .

Then why not love the lone church yard where all thatwas dear are tied ?

Then wiiy not nv:-e in the silent ni ght o'er remains cfthe onre lnvi -d dead i

Oh! there 's charms for me in its old abbey wall in thetoll of its dismal bell ,

Jn its rugged graves and moss flail tombs which no otherplace can tell.

REV. D. W. CAIIIL, D.DWe continue to give outlines of the discourses

of this remarkable and magnificent lecturer ; andnever did we feel greater pleasure in devoting ourtime and space than for such a purpose. Whocan listen to Doctor Cahill and not to be struckwith amazement at the vast amount of knowledgepossessed by him upon everything and upon everysubject , and his lucid and commanding powers incommunicating that knowled ge to his auditory ?And then to hear those occasional bursts of elo-quence of the finest and noblest description asthe subject of the lecture admits , in which theRev. Gentleman breaks forth , is most enrapturingand deligh tful. We have had some experience ofDoctor Cahill's powers, and how he has been re-ceived in many parts of the sfouth . where theau diences were dazzled with the splendour uf hiseloquence and the almost nnlimited scope of hislearning ; and we are gratified to find that his po-pularity &s alecturei is, if possible, on the increase ,from the greatness and grasp of his lectures inW exford. Several professional men have declaredto us, that thoug h they heard lectures in the Uni-versities of London , Edinburgh, and Dublin , theyn.ver heard or witnessed anything at all approach-ing to Doctor Cahill's powers.— Wexford Guar-il>nn.

A NECDOTIC OF Poi'ic Pius IX. —Before PiusIX., applied the axe to the numbiM-less abuseswhich he found .spreading even to the very stepsof his throne , he commenced with that which wasnearest to him , his own household. Sixty horseswere fattening in the royal stables. "These aretoo many by half" said the Pope , and thirty ofthem were immcdialelv sold for the benefit of thnpoor of the city. His establishment he also re-duced to the number absolutel y necessary. En-ormous sums had been lavished in keep ing upthe pontifical gardens ; lie modified the systemwithout in the least degree derogating from theirbeauty or utility. "I am a priest of Jesus, " hesaid to his clerk of the kitchen ," and not a Lu-cullus . Serve me in future as a poor priest. "Erom that day his table has been furnished withonly three ])luin dishes and very ordinary wine ,After alonir conversation with Cardinal Gizzi oneeveuing, upon the subject of the reforms he con-templated , heasked for lemonade. His valet re-tired to give the necessary orders , and in thecourse of a few minutes the servants entered bear-ing two splendid gi/t trays , laden with refresh-ments of every descri ption , and prepared as if byenchantment.

'( It is true , mostHoly Father ," they replied ; " but we have onl yconformed to the prescribed ceremonial , and , ac-cording to custom , have to ofTer to your highnessthese various refreshments." " Very well ," re-plied the Pope. " He good enough to bring mea lemon." It was brought immediately. " Nowgive me the sugar and a glass of water." Thenhaving made the lemonade, he added " Takeaway these dishes ; distribute the refreshmentsthey contain to the first poor persons you findupon the place of the Monte Cavallo ; give eachof them ten baiocci , and for the future neveroffer me anything beyond that for which I ask .—Go."

EXECUTION OF RUSH THE MURDERER'

NORWICH , SATURDAT , QUARTER -PAST TWELV E,—The day appointed for the execution of the mur-derer Rush has come at last in showers of sleet,and gloom, varied at intervals by short gleams ofsunshine. A cold biting wind drives through theair , and the clouds above head are spread out inI arge and watery masses, and give a dismal andcheerless hue to the prospect.

The drop is erected on the west side of the Cas-tle , and stands on the brid ge which on that sidespans the moat.—Its position and effect are verystriking, from the battlements behind it having animmense black flag, which by the orders ot theHigh Sheriff has been placed there to mark thfcextraordinary guilt of the criminal who is aboutto expiate his offence on the scaffold. This greatbanner swings slowly in the wind , and givesa solemn and funeral look to the whole scene.

It was expected that an immense crowd ofspectators would be attracted to the spot , as thepopulation of the surrounding country which hadtaken so deep an interest in the dreadful tragedyof Stanfield-hall , would catch it to the very clo-e ;but this has not been the case.—Norwich has re-ceived no sensible addition to the number of itsinhabitants, and . though it is market day, there isvery little additional bustle or excitement in thestreets.

On the Castle-hill might be observed , at anearly hour , a few groups of farmers eying the dis-mal preparations for an execution from anexceedingly respectful distance , and blend-ing curiousl y in the expression of their features ,horror for the crime, and awe for its tremendouspunishment.

As the fatal hour approached the crowd in-creased in numbers ; for many it was evidentl y aday of great excitement , and they crowded to dieexecution as to a theatre or public show ; otherscame obviously in a different spirit to notice thedying moments of a man whom they had knownin their daily pursuits, and to see how he borehimself in that supreme hour , when oppressed bythe recollections of such tremendous crimes.

Turning from the crowd and preparation out-side the Castle to the unhappy convict within ,there has been little opportunity for gleaning ;.nyadditional particulars to those which have alread yappeared. At 9 o'clock last ni ght he received aletter from his eldest daug hter , and on reading ithe became greatly depressed ; he rallied , however ,after a time, and made a hearty supper. Thechaplain to the jail has been in constant attend-ance on him all the morning, with what effectupon his conduct and feelings remain to be disco-vered.

Just previous to the execution the sun shoneout and the day became fine, and the crowd onthe Castle-hill increased. The space is a largeone; and there might have been 7,000 or S,000people present. The earl y trains from Yarmo u thand other places were loaded with passenge 1. s,and the arrivals were also very numerous fromSuffolk , and even Essex.

The magistrates and reprensntives of the presslined the short space between the prison gate andf:hr> .frfiffoid.

Precisely at twelve the profession loft thecondemned cell , headed by the sheriffs and javelinmen. Tho convict walked with a firm step, andwas attended by the executioner , who stood im-mediately behind. As the procession emergedfrom the Castle , the chap lain of the jail j oined it ,and commenced reading the burial service of theChurch. The cul pri t then mounted the seaffbl ',and the rope been immediately adjusted round hisneck the drop fell , and he was launched intoeternity.

He retained his firmness to the last , looking upto heaven and shaking his head as if protestinghis innocence. He shook hands with the Go-vernor , to whom he w hispered somethir.g, andthen died without a struggle.

N ORWICH , Half-past twelve.—Rush has justsuffered, lie died as he lived—firm and obdu-rate. As ( lie hour of his fate approached , theCablle-hill became one dense mass of peop le.

Rush ha? all along preserved the most perfectcoolness. He went to be.l last night at his usualhour , rose at two o'clock this mornin g, and wrot euntil five o'clock , when lie went n> bed , after or-dering a clean shirt and a clean cravat t ;> be pie-pared for him.

Exactl y at twelve the murderer came forth ; hewalked firml y, and the colour had not even lefthis face. He spoke not a word , save to requestthat the drop should fall when the chaplain waspronouncing the words " the grace of our Lofa*.Jesus Christ ," in the service. He died withoutflj|p«?.parent suffering. '^/'vitf

TERENCE BELLEW M'MANUS(From the New York Peop le, March 24./

r Last ,week we published an article stating thefactsconnected" with the arrest of Mr". M'Manus, andclearing away some mis-apprehensions connectedwith the matter. Since writing that article thebarque N.. D. Chase, in which Mr. M'Manus Masseized, has arrived in this port, and is now lyingat Brooklyn. Some friends of Mn M'Manus , im-mediately upon her arrival, visited her, and ontheir request , the mate, Mr. Bacon , swore theaffidavit we subjoin. Mr. Eacon has given everyinformation and assistance in his power , and thefacts of which he has given testimony are pre-cisely those we have already published.

At present we cannot further comment on thematter.—The affidavit has been laid before theSecretary of State , and a correspondence openedon the right of the AmericanExecutive to demandM'Manus, which in due time we shall submit toour readers.

Mr. M'Manus is still under sentence of deathin Richmond jai l , and , if he be not hanged , willbe transporte d for life—that is, if the administra-tion of General Zachary Taylor chooses :

Henry C. Bacon, of the state of Massachusetts, havingbeen dul y sworn, deposed that he i3 now the firs t mate ofthe American barque, N. D. Chase, an American vessel,built in the ctate of Maine, commanded by Captain DexterWhite , an American, and owned, as deponent believes,wildly by American citizens. That on the twenty-fifthday of August , oue thousand eight hundred and forty-eight. the said vessel was clear .d from the port of Cork,in Ireland, for Jtlio port of Boston , in the state of Massa-chusetts. Tli'at while lying wind-bound, and four orfive days after I eing examined, and cleared, namely, onthe30th of August , 1843, three persons came on board ;one dressed in the uniform of the Constabulary or Police ;the other two whom deponcut believes wore Govern-ment detectives, dressed in common apparel—and afterquestionin-r several of the passengers, they arrested oneTerence Hellew M'Manus, without showing any war-rant or writing—the said M'Manus, and said dcp&ent ,who then had charge of the deck, protesting against theirri ght to take said M'Manus from beneath the Americanensi gn, which had been hoisted as they came on board.That, notwithstandi ng said protest , said jM 'Mati'Js wastaken from the vessel , and , as deponent believes,) after-wards tried and sentence.t to .leath. That the said threepersons, afterwards, during the same day*, returned andtook ftom the said vessul one Daniel Corcoran ; who de-ponent believes was imp risoned in Ireland—and tookalso various articu - s of clothing, and a pistol from theaforesaid barque.

" Deponent further states that the captain of the saidbarque was not on Iwird at the same time of the arrivaloi' said lU'Manus and Corcoran , and that said drpj nentprotest d against the forcible arrest , without warrantof said M'Munus, and Corcoran , from an American vesseland from under the national ensign , the protection ofwhich said M'Manus and Corcoran had claimed.
