Smith seconded, that thanks should be given to Col. Robintion, for his very able and satisfactory re port. In putting this resolution to the meeting, the Chair man gave it as his opinion that Col. Robinson's report would prove a visitable document to any one having the interests of Ireland at heart, or deeirous of becoming acquainted with her present condition and resources. It was impsrtant, also, as showing that what was most of all required in that country was close personal attenianee. Col.

In answer to a proprietor, who wished to know what sum remained deficient on the fourth call upon the shareholders, and what steps were pro posed relative to inch deficiencies, the Secretary said that the only sum due on the fourth call was 251. from Mr. Ronald. With regard to the steps to be taken in such cases, the meet ing adopted a resolution to the effect that, with discretionary exceptions, those sham upon which the d posits had not been paid up, and where it was not deemed advisable to take legal proceedings against the shareholders, should be for feited. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated, without there having been a single dis cussion or objection of any kind raised to lengthen or dis turb it. _ THE BOOKSELLERS?

The chief novelty, however, consists in the absence of all springs ; a hollow tube about fourteen inches in diameter, composed of India rubber or macintosh, and in flated with air, is made to encircle each wheel similar to a tire ; and thus provided, the vehicle rolls along without making the slightest noise, and to the rider the motion is far more agreeable than one provided with the ordinary springs, and totally free from the rattling and jolting by which they are secompanied, and with this additional advert niv, that should any person be knocked down, and the wheels pass over him, the injury he will sustain is compara tively trifling. Yesterday, several persons actually allowed them to run over titter feet, the only effect produced being a alight numbness.

THE GENEEAL Faerr.—Sir,—ln order that the general fest and tribulation may effect tome practical good, I would suggest that every fastin,g person apply what would have been the cost of his dinner to a charitable purpose. The population of this country is, I believe, somewhere about twenty-four millions, of whom, unhappily, full ten million, are undergoing fast and tribulation every day. But suppose that fourteen millions of the fortstnati minium among us daily dine, and that each diner's dinner oasts him or her sixpence; let each give the saved sixpence to a fund, and 350,01101. will be at once realised. This, by the aid of foyer's potent pottage art, would give • good many mil lion dinners to the starving English, who, a less imaginative people than the Irish, can quite ea little lire upon air.— W. 11•Zirre. -• • ----- EXTENSIVR CONFLAGRATION AT BATTERSEA.— Osa of the isest extends, fires that has occurred is the carry of Survey Ilsr • asedderable period, broke eat yes terday morale& brasses des been of 1 sad 2, apse Os ea tisdire= =ins belessiejr to Mr. Joke Bediall, mg law INM prepriets, deur is =lee-fisidi the alsat midway star Bed House Tavern sod Ades Vas /n/arty La reyed formed a continuous lies et lisMilers. seleadias from the water side nearly 100 Lar2 . l „ itk, awl were sissies by the limber-yard and sires Is Mr. W.

The engines were all got ready for work, but unfortunately a deal of time wet loot in getting a supply of water to attack the flames, and it was not until roadways were formed, and the engine draughted down the hanks, and taken to low water mark, that a drop of water could be obtained.

The scene as viewed from the opposite shore was awfully grand • the roar of the fi re was like numerous fur naces en full plity, the rush and crackling of the flames, and the occasional bursting of tent, and the falling of wells were quite deafening. The firemen, however, kept to their Irate until they were driven back by the intense heat, The engines were kept in full operation until past six o'clock, when it at length became apparent that the firemen had ob tained the mastery over the flames, but they were far front being entirely extinguished. At th,t time Mr. Bethel's engine-house was destroyed, the extensive building termed the saw-mill and its valuable machinery were consumed, the rectifying-house and all it coatained were burned, and the whole of the 14,000 sleepers reduced to a/Ms—the latter property was of great value, each sleeper it is stated was worth 6s. Sd. Mr. Robins, the timber-merchant, and Messrs. Pass, together with sundry other persona in the neiglibourbood, will be serious losers by the calamity. Mr. Bethell's manager informed the reporter that his em ployer's lea alone would be between 10,0001. and 12,0001. Mr. Bethell was uninsured. Throughout the whole of yes terday immense volumes of smoke kept ascending from the smouldering ruins, and at noon the engines were still en gaged discharg;ng water upon the same. An engine will be kept on the spot for some time yet, in case of another out break. Mr. Superintendent Bicknell, Inspector Creed. and Iderjeant Emenervon were alternately engaged the whole of the night and day in keeping, with the aid of a strong muster of police constables, the immense crowd out of danger. During the raging of the fire the several bridges were crowded, and numerous boats were engaged conveying people on the water to obtain a view of the conflagration. The metropo litan churches and the abbey were completely illumined, and the streets, for miles round, were rendered as light as at moon-day. FIRE AT ORAVESEND.—On Saturday, shortly after 12, this town was again aroused to a state of alarm end dis may by the outbreak of another fire, which, though not of so serious a character as the recent calamity in West-street and the Town Pier, was attended with considerable loss of property. Its locality was in Harmer-street, in a line with the Terrace Pier, originating on the premises No. 13, aitante ou the east side, occupied by Mr. Powis, fancy toy ware house. It appears to have been discovered by a person pus ing up the street, sod who, on arriving in front of Mr. Fowls 's premises, was attracted by a great light over the fan-light window of the shop-door. Being positive the house was on fire he lost not a moment in giving an alacm, and, obtaining the speedy Resistance of some constables, proceeded to arouse the inmates, who were in bed, and evidently un conscious of their imminent danger. No one making their appearance in the front of the house, fears were entertained they had been suffocated ; but in the course of half an hour it was ascertained they were safe, having escaped byjumping out of the windows at the back. On the arrival of the Town Corpo ration engines, which they did very quickly, the same scene was enacted am at the fire in West-street. No one seemed to have any knowledge of their proper management, and the greeted contention prevailed among the firemen as to who should have priority over their operations. To render the confusion worse, no water wu procurable until the were in flames from the buement to the roof. _ eaatem-house engine was brought to the spot with equal = asserted by a strong detachment of soldien from Ora who, throughout, exerted themselves most creditably. The inhabitants, fearing the conflagration would extend adjacent houses, which at the height of the firep very probable, despatched messengers to Chatham and Dart ford for the assistance of the Brigade fonts and engines be- longing to there towns, which succeeded in reaching Gravesend in about au hour. Luckily, in the mean time, water was obtained, when the Custom-house engine was brought to bear on the adjoining houses. It was impossible to save any portion of that of Mr. Powis ; it was compare. lively speaking, gutted, aid every article of property within it was consumed. The fire was not finally got under tall 4 o'clock. The damage to the houses adjoining Mr. Pods% was not considerable. As regards the origin, not the slighteet information could be obtained. Only s portion of the premises is insured. 'ICE COLLISION ON THE BODIIIB.—OHAVVI IN D. SUNDAY.—By Mr.C.C.

I re member, on sinking with the schooaer, that I managodto lay hold of a spar, which partially kept me idea till I was picked up by • Mat. I law no boat seat from the steamer until after I was picked up. My life was nearly gone. I was taken m board of the steamer, and, on recovering my senses, found theytrere conveying me to Leith. When picked up had only • night shirt on. lam much indebted to one of the pas edgers for furnishing me with clothes.—At the desire of the Jury, Mr. Webber, the master, sketched the position of the schooner at the time of the collision. By it, it appeared that, besides a number of small craft, such as smacks, that were lying close in Aare, there were several larger vessels of the haven. Of dim the schooner was nearest in shore. There were two to the southward, on one side of her, and three astern of her, or to the eastward.—By the Coroner The schooner war moored about 200 fathoms from the shore at low water. She exhi bited no lights ; it ma not usual to do so on board mall vessels. I was not aware that it was the Royal Victoria steamer that had struck the Rose until I was taken on board of her. Sbe bad part of her cat-head and stanchions car ried away. The mptain of her, Mr. Micklereid, told as it was • bad job, and that it bad occurred through a bugs being in his way. The barge he said, was realdni over her bows.—Coroner: Whit is your opinion as to the course the steamer was pursuing when the collision happened Witness : That she was not in her proper one. If she had not run into the schooner she would have gone ashore. Her right course was more in mid channel.—Coroner. What kind of weather was it at the time ?—Witness : It was blowing strong up the river, but the morning was as light as noonday. The moon was up, and vessels could be seen for miles distant.—Coroner Hole Haven a proper place for yawls anchoring in such numbers?—Witness: Yes it is; it's a small bay. My vessel was lying out of the track of larger ones, especially steamers.—A Juror: Have you any idea of the speed of the steamer when she ran down your vessel ?—Witness . I be lieve her engines were at full speed, for so great was her force against the schooner that in less than three minutes after she was struck she went down.—There being no other witnesses in attendance, the Royal Victoria being on her passage to Leith, the inquiry was adjourned until she re turned, and to allow several important witnesses who made in distant parts of the country to be summoned.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, /isnot 13. The cultivation of the land is the consideration most interesting at the present period, and that which occupies almost exclusively the attention of every man in Ireland who discusses the present and future pros pects of the country. It is consolatory to know that us almost every county spring work is in progress— though in ever y county tke cultivation u i yet s only partial. The Cork Ezanaimer speaks very gloomily of the progress of spring labour in that county, and calculates that rot more than one-half of the land usually under tillage will be available for next har vest. There is no ground for such a conjecture. There will perhaps be less than an average quantity of land under cultivation. The winter wheat in that fine county looks healthy. Last night's Gazette contains the list of relief in spectors appointed under the temporary relief act, and approved of by the Lord Lieutenant. The number is 111, of whom 29 are civilians, and 82 naval, military, and engineer officers, or ex-officers. The same Gazette directs the constitution of relief committees in each of the electoral divisions of 89 unions. A SILIBBEAREIII E.7Ol;l 7 lT—We (Liver/mg Jonveref) fear that there is at this moment suffering so great and or deserved in this town as can be witnessed even on the went meat of Ireland. Two or three cases in one court have care to oar own knowledge. That court is Webster's-court, Oriel-greet. It warm-Otis-pest place that the Rev. Mr. Nightingale caught the fever which deprived society of a most kind-hearted, pions clergyman. Last week, a whole family were down in foyer ; there was no nurse, no doctor. ' An infant died, and the mother was able only to push the dead body from off the straw on which she herself was dying. No one came to remove the corpse until the daily call of the Rev. Mr. Newsham, of St. Anthony's. In the house, No. 1, are now lying in fever thirteen persons— four on one floor, five in another. some dying, some getting better. There is no one in attendance on them, and no medical man had seen them from Sunday to Thursday. The pariah allows the two families Bs. a week. and the autho rities will probably inquire why a medical man has not seen them. In another court all the family were down in fever, hot a child, and that child was burnt to death in muse quenee of its clothes catching fire when going for a hot drink to the grate. Food is crowding into the Irish ports, although prices are not very seriously affected as yet. In two days not fewer than twenty-seven cargoes of corn and provisions arrived in Cork harbour, and the Reporter path the question, " Where does it all go to?" How ever, there has been a decline. Indian corn fell in one week fully 15s. per ton. Potatoes are escaping from the oblivion of winter and emerging into market. On Wednesday last, twenty-seven loads of potatoes, of home powth and excellent quality, were far sale in Cork at a comparatively cheap price. A meeting is called for Tuesday next, inDublin, by the Lord Mayor, to take into consideration the ex tremely deprased date of trade in the capital of Ire land, and the great extent of destitution consequent thereon. The requhdiaa was signed by 216 of the principal merchants sad traders the city. THIS VACANCY 1011 7 / 3 61;101Lioliiiiii.—Amongst the pro. bable candidates named for the vacancy in the representa tion mused by the death of Mr. AtsteU, are Lad Chas. Rus sell, Baron 8 0 th..h,7d, W. H. Whitbread, EN., and Francis Pym, Esq.; but it is stated that some gentleman will be flied on without creating opposition. It is also said this Lord Burleigh will be put forward. SUPERSTITION IN tea Wig CIINTUST.—The Hertford Mssestry, of Saturday, says, " In ooseequence of a report that a female named ' Matilda Hands, of Harrow, seer London,' intended to make a' public statement of a heavenly vision with whisk she had been favoured by God, as well u of a minsculoas cure effected in her own body,' the Wes ley= chapel in Watford was one evening in the coarse e last week densely crowded with persons curious to hear the particular of this strange story from the lips of tie indivi• dual herself. So numerous was the assemblage on this oc casion, that the assistance of the polies was deemed requisite to procure due order and decorum The CR lowing brill outline of her extraordinary narrative is given as taken down from her own etseeneent —' She was confined to her bed An sown yam, In the course of which time she enjoyed made of the km of God ; for four year and a half she lost the sight of her fight eye, and for three years and five months the use al Isar be arm and band, and for a short time the sight of bode her eyes. She wee muck troubled with fits, hag tnenethasa had as many as SOO in 24 hairs, and was having Ana 10 to 90 a day up to the time she was restered, does which Yoe she has not had one, and believes that she shall not have I another. She was cupped 117 times. bad TO blisters, and was given up by 17 doctors. On the 7th of April, 1846, at the close of a prayer meeting held in her nosy she states that the Lord detached her spirit from her body, and took it up to the inaasions of the blessed. Her dessr,dee of the heavenly regions contained in it nething wad or exalted. She saw her Saviour, Mr. W , mad a friend who had been dead five yeas beds% as also a host of prophets and martyrs. On the return of her gilt to her body, she became worse; she had an inflammation in am of her eyes, and the doctor's aid was unavailing to Mimi her any relief. Soon after this, at a meeting of friends bold in kw Min, she pmyed for the use of her arm, and as the sued, her hand moved, she lifted it up, praised Gad, and clapped her hands for joy. Her friends then prayed dot she might be raised up ; after raying for moue Slim she muse from her bed, and with a little mistime walked woes the room, which she had not been able to do for six years. From east time she has gained strength, ands now per freely recovered.' Improbableas the above account may appear, beeo are n . great many persons in the town who ph oo , impakdt fidth in it ; and the woes= herself appeals to ROYAL AGRICULTURAL AOCIRTY.—The last proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society tell a very deplorable tale. A sum of 6001., it will be remembered, was placed by the Lord Lieutenant at the disposal of the society, to be distri buted in premiums foe thorough drainage. The 11th inst. NU the last day for receiving the returns from competitors, proprietors, and occupiers, and the number amounted to 12 ! This result is wry _painful—so miserable a competition where the stimulants bad been so powerful, and the necer sky of improvement go great ! The language of the council almost inviter the mind to despair of Irish agriculture, when, with so many concurrent causes to exertion, the result afforded " but too conclusive evidence that, after all the efforts that had been made during the part year to promote reproductive works of the kind, so comparatively little had been aosomplishel. It tow a melancholy ISSidfiC6 of negled on the part of gAs,rnot isseried proprietors, that there were only eight eximpetttare who could qualify for those prime in the senses of Ulmer, two in Leinster, two in Monster, and none at all in Connaught" And yet the competition has been open since November, 1845. A letter was read from a Mr. Junes Clark, of Glastonbury, Somersetahire, urging on the farmers the nesemity of sowing spring w heat, and with that view had seat over some early varieties to this country. The emoted ware of Mr: Clark's opinion, and as I six weeks still remained to sow, a lunge breadth of the old .pktie ground might still be got under spring wheat, which, leer Sony remons, is preferable to oats or barley. 81',NTE OF THE COUNTRY.

The Men farmers in Tippwsrl are endeivOloing to dispose of their interests in their Knell holdings; those who mimed in finding parchmen are emigrat ing to America, While these arrangements are pro ceeding neither parties of course till the land, and "the landlords (Pays the Tipperary Vindicator) in the majority of canes either cannot or will not interfere." A number of " Whiteboys " have been arrested at Caledon, in Tyrone. As a counterpoise to this unhappy indication of rising turbulence, we are informed by the Northern Stand ard, that efforts are being made to resuscitate the Orange Organisation. The mills of Astheaton, county of Limerick, were burned down on Thursday last. These were some of the largest mills in the mouth of Ivel,nd, and were not covered by insurance—the latter reached 4,0001. only. The de *mei m of those mills will be felt very painfully by the people in the surrounding district, to whom they furnished very eonsiderable supplies of ground corn. They were the pro party of the firm of J. N. Russell and sons, whose names have been much connected recently with the milling and corn•trades of Ireland. The fire was accidental. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, Menem 12. Like London, Edinburgh has a " Post-office Direc tory," which treads fast on the heels of the metropo litan model in point of inaccuracy and jobbing. It is the property of some of the post officials ; but in what proportion, or how the letter-carriers are remunerated for their ;hare of the getting .up, does not transpire beyond the precincts of the of f ice. Some time ago it was oppoe by a rival publication, which was , speedily bought up, and now the field is kept by the 'lust alone. The carriers collect the addresses, deliver copies, and collect the cash in payment; hence the proprietors have an agency which in point of cheap ness and efficiency could not be commanded by pri vate adventure; and, provided the work were aocurately compiled, no one would probably grudge monopoly . ; but it is hard that a protected publication should be a blundered one. Up to last year, the places of busi ness as well as residences of professional persons were given, but now the latter arc omitted, and a circular has been sent round intimating that those intending to have them inserted in future must pay threepence extra. The next proposition will probably be to alit payment for mere names. AA association in aid of the poor has for some time I been is operation in Glasgow, its object being to obtain roper allowances for paupers from the several parochial boards. Since the 30th November, when the first annual meeting toek place, the number of cases in which relief was obtained for the first time, amounted to 84, and the depetelents and children of the parties being 51, the total number of persons in terested in the relief so obtained, was 124. In 61 cases increased allowances were obtained, which, wi'sh dependents, tee., involved the comfort of 98 per ireln The agent, in giving in his report, complains steely against the St tided allowances of the boards, and muerte that is Corbels and Govan, 48., Se., and Pa. per month, ate common allowances to paupers of VO and 75 ymire of age. The following appears in the Horning Herald. We think it of great importance tithe parish schoolmasters of Scotland, and of some cionsequesiee to the church of which they are members, to invite their attention to the Registra tion Bill, just introduced by Mr. Fox Maule. Its animus is .04nm. transparent in one single clause, viz., the 12th, which pro vides, " That it shall not be lawful to appoint any T parish CONCERT FOR TTIE FAMILY OF MR.

The prisoner bad been found guilty on Thursday of entering the house of an old couple named Hoekley, in company with others, and not only ransacking the honer, tnt ill.treating the inmate; in 60 shameful a manner that the life of the old lady was, for months despaired of. The culprit was sentenced.- to fifteen years' transportation, and was Wien berg to the gaol, in which extensive alterations ate going on, part of it being poll( d down for thlf purpose of introducing the separate system of dis cipline.
