They are of earthen ware, glazed inside. They are insoluble en water, and con structed of any diameter by Moue. Belliield, potter., Pres tenpins, East Lothian. They are in lengths of from two to an feet, with spigot and faucette joints, and the luting is Boman cement, or Intonico plaster. I have learned that tubes are admirably made of Iron-stone pottery, by Messrs. Stephen Green, Imperial Pottery, Lambeth. I can bear witness to the success of this mode of sewering. Under the direction of Mr. Dye* Guthrie (who first suggested tubular sewerage, in his evidence before the health of towns commission •), I had a four-inch earthen ware tube substituted far my house drain, for a length of silty feet, with a fall of one foot. It has now worked excellently for a year. No sewage re- Mains in it, and when flushed the water flows from it quite clear. All drain emanations from sinks, water-closets, 4:o, have disappeared ; sad all anxiety, on that head, for the health of my family is at an end. I may add that the tubular drain defies rats.

IRELAND. FATHER MATHEW IS LONDONDERRY.—On Tuesday evening, Aug. 17, the members of the Total Abstinence So ciety, accompanied by several thousands of the inhabitants, wow. ded to meet the apostle of temperance, on has way boo &unearths to Derry. They formed a regula r procession, accompanied by music, all parties joining in paying respect to Father Mathew, without regard to party . or sectarian feelin In the evening a wine took place mthe Town hial, g. Alexander Lindaay, mayor of Derry , in the chair. Bit hundred persons sat down to their • frugal fare." At one end of the hall " God save the Queen" appeared in letters formed ef gas jets, and at the othe r, _ " Welcome, Father Mathew," in the some form. After the usual loyal touts, the chairman gave " Father Mathew," remarkieg upon the vast benefits arising from his labours. The tout was received with loud and repeated cheers. In returning thanks, Father Mathew expressed his gratitude for the enthusiastic reception they bad given him in Londonderry. He had never been more warmly received than in the province of Ulster, and could never forget the reception he had met with from all Glasser that day. He hadleng wished to come to that part of the country, and await the enemy in his atroaghold, the barony of Isiphowen ; but his lordship, Dr. hi qiin, and the clergy of Londonderry, had already nearly conquered the enemy. The chairman text gave the health of the Right Rev. Dr. Msgin, Roman catholic Bishop of Derry. The toast having been enthusi astically received, his lordship, in returning thanks, said that temperance, aa the poet or philosopher, or both, expressed it, was • virtue lying between two extremes. The question with them was not about the virtue, hut about the means to the virtue; how the habitual drunkard, or nations ha• biteally drunken, are to be brought to temperance was the 'ortion at issue. To say take a little, or, take enough and ao more, was to suppose the man or the nation to be already temperate; but this was not the case in their hypothesis. They supposed both to be intemperate; and, therefore, scold not say to the intemperate man, "take a little," or. " take enough ;" for the intemperate nation or individual most, from the very nature of things, be disposed to take mare than enough, otherwise they would not be intem perate. But it might be asked, why should the tem perate man be waked to abstain altogether ? The reason was dear—ea Father Mathew has well expressed it t" He is bound to do it, not so much for his own sake ea the public good." He wu a member of society, he held by his fellowman , and his fellow-man by him. If his example be contagious, and if he be to his brother the proximate occasion of sin even by taking • little, he was bound to abstain altogether. The entire services of Father Mathew were owin g to • perfect knowledge of the true ethical and social trinciple that man was bound to sacrifice his own pleasures for his fellow-man, and that to arrive at the virtue of temperance, nations, as well as individuals, when habitually intemperate, =lit have recourse to total abstinence as the only certain means to the end. He was sure the clergymen of all awed, with whom he that evening had the pleasure of associating, and who had had any, the least, experience in the cure of souls, would join with him in the seed= that the only remedy for the inveterate habit of tiembemithe line Father Mathew's principle of total abed. nom. mooam that principle, under the divine guidance, he V wain' the greatest modern miracle the world ever Whom& Lae them look what Ireland is now—and what II bin bees: thrsmerly a bye-word ameogi e be nations- now-1 *sigh but partially recovered, and gi here and then /irk were, signs of renovated diiitiaie a amnia a meta pieta anew the pee _mei kingdoms oldie earth.

Another cheap excursion to London is to be made io a few weeks, and for the gratification of the Londoners, arrangements are said to have com menced fora Scotch tour, which is to include the original Highland route of the Queen. Last week forty four carriages came from Newcastle with the workmen of an engineering firm, but having sipped tee freely of the distillation of the north, many of them had to be placed in " durance vile " for a time. The Glasgow subscription for a testimonial to Sir Harry Smith amounts at present to 3001. A public mark of respect le also to be presented to Mr. Ban nerman, the ex-M.P. for Aberdeen, whose long and faithful services to the granite city will deserve it. The member for Roxburghshire is also to be similarly honoured. -- --- The Perth statists note that this year there are fewer boxes of game going south, as presents, than usual. If the Perthshire slaughter be lees there ap pears to be no diminution in Inverness-shire, and pos sibly the great influx of visitors to the northern regions may call for local consumption, and so limit the export supplies. Some complamts have been made as to the balance in hand of the Edinburgh section of lar g Highland Relief Committee. Lately it was 85,0001., but that included some sums not remitted; by last return the balance in bank was 45,0001. There is, however, no cause for alarm ; the committee is com- ' posed of gentlemen of great sagacity and prudence, and it is to their cre di t if they have staved off starvation by a minimum monetary expenditure. The social evils of the Celts, although immediately developed by potato failure, have been long accumu lating, and slow diseases require slow remedies. POTATO CROP IN Sconstro.—Altkonfth the proemt appearance of this crop is healthy, and promises an abuedent mum, there is still so much uncertainty as to the ultimate muntlems of the root, that hitherto few es/es have been effected, or, indeed, have been offered to the public. At a reup of growing crop near Methven, last week, a trial was made of one field, and the result showed that confident* prementnatem over apprehension. for the whole was sold off, I " lieu& from 261. to 271. per acre. This tally exceeds the price of 1846, which was the highest ever known here. There are, unfortunately but few who will benefit by it ; as. on um farms, the breadth planted does not exceed five am. In several mess the tumor has divided the risk with the speculator; the one amply*. the manure and the labour, and the other the red; and halving the net pro mil. There are two exceptions to this characteristic caw don on the pert of the arrinsiturits in this rafter—one in in Strathmore, who has forty awes under to crop at his own riot , and another in the Cane, wi ll nears fifty.— Anlsshire Courier.

Happily, a chew had Wino pease in public; opinion, and et this day all down it the emaulay, sad ell de nomination of Christieee, combined in aemilaraling the progress of education, believing that it improved the moral and social condition of the people, induced habits of prudence and industry, and promoted their happiness end prosperity here, whilst it held out a brighter hope of happiness hereafter. It bad been proved to be the beat corrector of vice and repress.? of crime, and the school master was discovered to be a better supporter of the authority of the law than either the gaoler or the executioner. Talent and genius were not wafted to the noble or affluent, they were found in the cottage as well as in the palace, and there were not wanting instances in our day of men arriving at the highest places of distinction in the state, and on the bench, who bad received their education at charity schools. The mind of man was like the ore in the colonel furnaces they sow before them—when in the earth it was valueless, but when fashioned by the chill and labour of man its worth was immeasurably increased: so it was with the mind—when uneducated it was rude and barbarous, but when cultivated, it became valuable to it possessor, sad to society in general. He was glad to me so numerous and respectable an atten dan oe, as it augured well for the pperocssppeerity of the institu tion. He hoped all would unite in advandag this great work, which promised to confer inestimable benefits on the labour ing claws, by diminishing pauperism and crime, and afford ing to the promoters the aatLfic 'on of seeing around them a grateful and contented population. He prayed the bless ingot Him on their labours in whose sacred volume it was written, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." It was re marked by the Rev. D. Rees that during Mr. Morris's visit to Llanelly, a few days previous to the election, not a single person asked him for money for beer. It may here be stated that the money thus sated, amounting to 1601., has been for warded by Mr. Morris to the people of Llanelly, to be ap plied to relieve the distresses of tho poor, and for other benevolent and useful purposes. PROVINCIAL. 111 - ari - A — eommeneed ite three days' annual sports on Monday, and there was a large com pany collected on the banks of the Irwell to witness the races contested on that day. There were five. The Trial Stakes for youths under 18 years of age, the winners to re ceive 61. • the Chadwick Cup, value 2 6 1. with sweepstakes of 16*. e ach crew; the Stanhill-hall Stakes of 101., with a sweepstakes of 106. added ; a sculling match for 21. 10s. ; and the Irwell Stakes of 201. The race which excited the greatest interest was that for the Chadwick Cup, between three four-oar gigs, in one of which, the Prince. and Bei tennis, Rowing Club's gig No. 3, the atrokeeman was Robert Newell, better known on the Thames than in the north. The other boats were the Little Wonder and the Lightning. The course is a mile up the river, going through one arch of one of the nearest of the Manchester bridges, and re turning through the other arch to the starting point. The Little Wonder had the " crack " crew, in- Juding Thos. M'Cormick, George Coiling., S. Wood, and Henry Ault for stroke • and the betting was five to one in their favour. All the boats got well off, and went at so great a pace that Lightning very soon found herself " nowhere, ' in sporting phraseology, and gave up the contest. There was a fine struggle at the commencement of the second mile be tween the other two boats, but Little Wonder, which had kept about • length ahead from nearly the beginning, gra dually widened the distance, and won by about three lengths. The races were all well con tested, and the large company, congregated to witness them were apparently much gratified. These sports are comparatively new to Manchester people this being the fourth year since the establishment of them in that town. There were to be four races yesterday, and one of them, for the Ellesmere Plate of 2.51., in specie, being " open to the world," numbers amongst the crews one from Loch Lomond. MURDER AT LITTLE HEATON.—A shocking murder has been perpetrated in the township of Little Heaton, near Bolton. The victim is a woman considerably past the meridian of life, the hand which dealt the fatal blow being that of her husband, Robert Pilkington. For more than ten years they had lived apart from each other, in conse quence, it is alleged, of his brutality towards her. She kept house for her son, John Pilkington, farmer, who is unmar ried, and occupies a house and land called Langshaw Fold Farm, situate in the township of Heaton, neer to Barrow- Brides, who wu sentenced at the Liverpool Amines on Thursday to nine months' imprisonment for striking a man named Ketshaw on the head with a poker, some months Riau. The murderer was formerly • farmer, but, through his intemperate habits, has been, for some time past, com pelled to earn his living as a labourer upon the neigh bouring farms or quarries. The prisoner went to the house in question about seven o'clock on Sunday morn ing, but it would appear that he was by no means a welcome visitor, since the door was barred against him. There were in the house, his wile, his son William, a young man, who also lived on the farm, and an Irish servant girl, named Bridget Dean, about twenty years old. Pilkington said, he merely wished to light his pipe, and on prng his eon to go out again as soon as he had lighted it he was admitted • but once in the house he refused to leave it, and at himsel f down by the fire. The milk sold from the farm is taken round in contrary directions by the ten, William Pilkington, and the servant girl. It was time to take it, and William let off with his, but the girl, aa if apprehensive of something occurring, and unwilling to leave the man and his wife to gether, persuaded theJatter to go with her ; she consented, and went. They returned to the house Ant, and found the elder Pilkington still sitting by the fire, sa they bad left him, and alone. We do not learn that there were more words paned betimes the parties than those stated in the wideness of the girl Dean, es given below. The unfortunate women had taken of ber bonnet on returning from taking the milk round, when her husband asked her if sbe were going to be master. To which she answered in the affirma tive, adding that John (her son) had le ft her in charge of the haws Immediately on this he seized a small crow-bar, and mask the unfortunate woman to the ground with two fearfal Mews upon the head. The girl interfered, and at tempted to take the weapon away from him, but as if he had net done enough mischief, he wrested it from her and drub her too a blow on the head,. fortunately, it anus, without producing any serious Injury. Dread ft Uy awned she at length rushed out of the house to those ; of the nearest neighbour., some few herbed yards' distance, and roused their attention by bee meow be help, and telling them that " Robert had killed the all woman." Several of the neighbours ran im mediately to the spot; the first was a young man named Howdy a door. He found the poor areseare on the floes ermines, as and evidently dying.

The prisoner said no more. but took hold of the poker and struck her with it twice oi the head. I seized bold of the poker to prevent him from striking her again, but he wrenched it from me, and struck me on the left side of the head. The old woman had fallen to the ground. I ran out and gave an alarm, telling the neighbours that Robert had killed the old woman.

DEATH MOM BATIIING.-4111 Thursday Mr. Joseph Marshall, of the firm of Thompson and Marshall, solicitors, of Hull, left that town with his wife and three children, to spend a few days in Hennes. On their arrival, the whole family went down to the seashore, and Mr. and Me.. Mar shall - bathed in separate machines. When Mr. Marshall hod been in the water about a quarter of an hour, being a considerable distance out, he appeared to be labouring under the cramp, and was evidently powerless. Etc .h tl m t time Mrs. Marshall had come out of the water. were a great number of persons on the beach, among whom was Mr. Thomas Wing, the driver of the Horned mail, who seeing Mr. Marshall was in danger, in the most courageous manner went to his assistance. On reaching him he found Mr. Marshall floating on the water to all appearance dead. After a considerable struggle, Mr. Wing brought him within a short distance of the shore, but finding himself sinking was obliged to let the body go. Several of the bystanders then waded and got Mr. Wing out. After a delay of shout 20 minute*, during which time Mr. Marshall's body was carried out some distance by the tide (though for the whole time viaible), a boat was launched, and the body brought to the shore, when everything was done to restore animation, but without effect, life being quite extinct. ntiaizam. SUNDERLAND DOCK COMPANY.—OR Monday the half-yearly general meeting . of the Sunderland Dock Com pany was held in the Commissioitroom. From the directors' report it appeared that the undertaking was progressing as favourably as their most sanguine expectations could desire. The construction of the large dock. and half-tide basin was let by contract. They expected to have the work completed by the 31st of December, 1849. From the engineer's report it appeared that the groins bad been made of solid mason work. The excavations were progressing rapidly, sad every other department of the work now in progress was proceed ing very favourably. The chairman, Mr. Bramwell, remarked that the shipping trade of Sunderland ex ceeded its harbour accommodation. The dock ;now in progress, however, would, he hoped, increase the accommo dation to the extent required. It would be one of the finest docks in the kingdom, occupying an extent of 27 acres, and adapted to give the greatest facility to business, of which there was every prospect of a good share. The coal-field of the neighbourhood was one of the first in quality in the world—already 1,500,000 chaldrons of coals in a year were shipped at the port ; and recently other collieries had been added, which were likely to vend their productions at Sun derland. The railway leading to the dock would shortly be extended to Bishop Auckland, and a great amount of traffic by the increased facility . of transit to the west side of this extensive county might reasonably be looked for. The dock dues would be of a very moderate character, and ships loading therein would not be subjected to the expense of ls. 6d. per keel for towing on the river as at present. The directors expected that the undertaking would be completed without the full amount of 251. on each share being called for. Ile would mention that a claim on behalf of the bishop had been made upon the directors, for a consideration for hie privilege. A valuer had been appointed, and the award could not be much, as the ground was previously useless. . _ DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL IN3I7RY.—At the Small Debts Court, North Shields, on Wednesday, Mr. Black ap peared to answer the information of J. Ro bs on, of the same place, boatman. It appeared that some time ago, the com plainant was lying in his boat, with his hand over the aide, when the defendant, in a small boat, ran against the com plainant's hand, and injured his finger so severely as to cause amputation to be necessary. The complainant now sought to recover damages, and the court awarded him 201. SUNDERLAND SHIP-BUILDING TRADE.—By Bpar liamentary paper, we find that the number of ship. built in the port of Sunderland, and the amount of their tonnage was, in 1843, 84 ships, 20,356 tons; in 1844, 116 ships, 29,542 tons ; in 1845, 139 ships, 38,017 tons; in 1816, 151 shim, 43,937 tons. It will thus be seen that bath as to num. ber and tonnage, 1846 nelrly doubles 1843. THE HARVEST IN THIS DISTRICT it filEt Coming into active operation.

HUDSON M.P.—On Thursday, at a meeting of the In committee, at which Mr, Hodson attended, an agreement was entered into by that gentleman to purchase the property of the corporation required for railway purposes, at the sum salted by the council (23,0001.). Mr. Hudson ' however, de clined to pledge himself either to make a now street from the high-level bodge to St Nicholas'oquare, or even to contri bute towards its construction. PRorOBED DINNER TO SIR R. PEEL—A special, but private, meeting of the members of the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce was held on Monday, to consider the propriety of evincing their sense of the 'entree rendered to his country by Sir R. Peel, an opportunity for such an ex pression of feeling being likely to arise in eomequence of tin right hon. baronet's visit to Wynyard, next week to be present at the marriage of the Earl of Portarlington and Lady Alexandrine Vane. SUICIDE OP A CLERGYMAN.—The Newcastle Ad vertiser of yesterday says : "We have to announce the death of the Rev. H. Huggard,:curate to the Rm. H, W. Wright, of St John's Church, Newcastle. On Friday, while walk ing in company with his brother he suddenly le ft him to return home ; but from what subsequently transpired the unfortunate gentleman, after taking • razor out of his room, proceeded to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway station, and took the train for Carlisle. On arriving at that place he re paired to the Railway Hotel, where he took up his residence for the evening ; but on the following morning, as he did not make his appearance or answer the call of the maid-servant, she was induced to enter the apartment, when she discovered the rev. gentleman lying in bed dead, with a large wound on the left aide of the neck, and the razor lying by his side. In the course of the day an inquest was held, and on Monday hi remains were interred at Carlisle. The rev. gentleman appeared to be about 26 yaws of age, was • native of Ireland, and had performed the duties of his office for about six months; but during that time was observed occasionally to be labouring under depreseion of spirits." NEWCASTLE SANITARY ASSOCIATION.—The com mittee of Shia emaciation held their monthly meeting last week, the Rev. the Vicar of Newcastle in the chair. The secretary presented letters from Messrs. Headlam end Hodg son, the new candidates at the late election, in which they expressed their approval of the objects of eke association, and their desire for the enactment of a general sanitary measure. Dr. Charlton read • report on the condition of Pipe wellgate, in Gateshead, which district had been minutely examined by himself and Mr. Proctor. This report de scribed scenes of filth and wretchedness equal to any met with in the other crowded end unhealthy dielatelsof Newcastle.

TITS Csa OF INFANTICIDE AT IRMINOHAM.— The 001'01111e8 inquisition upon the body of the infant child of the girl Ste ad man (referred to in yesterday's Ezßresa) was protracted until one o'clock on Tueeday morning. From the evidence it appeared that after her delivery the prisoner cut the child to pieces in bed; but, remarkable as the fact may appear, the wife of the supposed father, who slept with the accused, and who was perfectly aware of her condition, never heard the slightest noise from either mother or child. The details of the case are unfit fbr publication. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder," and the prisoner, so soon as she has sufficiently recovered, will be removed to Warwick ge9l for trial at thenest spring assizes. • ATAPPORDMMUS. THE SEAT FOR WOLVERHAMPTON. A private letter mays: "Then will be no public meeting here after all. On the proceedings at late private meetings of Mr. Villiers's supporters coming to the hon. gentleman's notice, he was net merely eurpnsed but somewhat hurt, that his repeated and positive meertion of his wish and intention to maintain his 000nexion with his old friends had not been implicitly believed. The meeting referred to was therefore altogether uncalled for, as it is now dearly understood by both parties that the elation here (Wolverhampton) are not more attached to Mr. Villiers than he is to them, and that both are equally unwilling to sever t h e connexion which has so long existed. I area scarcely add that the electors will not now be called together."

The coroner's jury found as their verdict, "That the deceased came to his death by a blow from a constable's staff, given by the superintendent of police while In execution of his duty, and that it was excusatile homicide." This decision gave rise to considerable disaatibfaction • which was participated in by a portion of the country magist racy. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the town was convened, to consider what coune should be adopted in having the matter farther investigated, and the magistrates acting for the town re solved upon going into the whole of the facts. This occu pied three entire days ; Sharpe, the superintendent of police, being in attendance to answer =yeas of unnecessary vio lence that might be charged against him. The circum stances of the tumult were detailed, and the part the de ceased was seen to take in it. On the other hand, it was shown that he could not have been where stated, and that at the period he was struck he was not taking part in any act of violence. The magistrates, after a lengthened coasulta tlon, declined to disturb the verdict given by the coroner's jury, by entertaining any criminal charge against the officer. h is said that the melancholy affair will be brought under the attention of parliament. NORIVILK. THE FORTY-SHILLING FRANCHISE.—The return of Mr. Cobden for the West Riding of Yorkshire, and of Mr. Villiers for South Lancashire, are in some measure to be ascribed to the movement commenced he the League to in crease the number of 40i. freeholders. The results of these elections afford encouragement to the liberal party to carry forward that movement, as a practicable and sure me thod of counteracting tory influence in the various counties of England. A prospectus has been issued at Norwich, containing some suggestions as to the mode of extending the 40e. franchise. It proposes: " 1. The appointment of a central committee to collect the boot information as is the present state of the county constituencies, with a view to the selection of such as would be most favourable to the contem object. 2. The formation of local committees throughout the kingdom, to carry the system into complete o 3.

The thieves, who are sup. pled to be the same parties who stole a large sum of money from a public-house in the neighbourhood, got clear off although the police ware instantly on the spot. FIRE AT Wurrris.--On Saturday last, at the Lord ship Farm, Writtle, the property of Lord Petre, in the occupation of Mr. Lucking, an aged men named Harris was sleeping in the yard, when be was awoke by the crackling of fire, which he found had broken out in some straw in another outbuilding. He immediately alarmed Mr. Luck ing's family, and a Nasser was despatched to Chelmsford for the engines. Those of the Sun, Equitable, Economic, and Royal Exchange aloes were promptly conveyed to the spot, and were brought to beer upon the flames with con siderable effect. Before, however, the progress of the fire could be stayed, scow shed, in which were four calves, and a barn containing a email quantity of tans, with some per, were consumed, the animals perishing in the flames. A haulm wall then took fire, and a large haystack ignited, the greater part of which was destroyed. Fortunately there was little wind during the conflagration, or several large corn stacks must have fallen a prey to the flames. A nume rous body of labourer were present, and exerted themselves to save the property, many females lending all the aid in their power. The canoe of the fire is net clearly ascertained, bat Harris was 'applied with a pipe and tobacco at a public house on the Friday night as late as ten o'clock. Before re tiring to rest he went to the building in which the fire ori ginated. and procured straw wherewith to make his bed. and it is thought that he must have smoked his pipe at the time (although he denies that such was the fact), and dropped some of the ashes amongst the straw. The buildings and stock were insured. LITBRATURB. irelood Sixty non Ago. The title of this work is hardly supported by its contents, which are records of curious incidents in Irish life, and anecdotes of Irish manners, in the last century. Although some of the topics treated of are rather trivial, there is abundance of interesting matter. The work belongs to a class that is rather rare in Irish literature. It contains authentic ma terials pour *emir d rhistoire, and, for an author en owed in the history of the last century in Leland, has many suggestive illustrations. It treats of Irish manners, eccentric characters, and strange doings. Some of the topics are too " low n to write about. The author might have passed the subjects of Dublin cocltheyiin, and Irish slang mg, like "Lord Altham's Ball" But the curious facts indicating the growth and origin of popular habits in Ireland are very valuable in their way. An essay on Irish manners by a competent writer would be a valuable and entertaining contribution to oar literature. The author before us is perhaps scarcely equal to each a work, although he has evi dently many of its requisites. But that besetting vice of antiquarians, an extravagant taste for triviali ties, overmasters him. His mind is apparently not very methodical, nor his habits of thinking scientific ; heice his book is a miscellany of Irish eccentricity. His materials, however, have evidently been =Wally gathered, and if he be not a discriminative, it as certain that he is a pains-taking, collector of facts relating to past times in Ireland. His style, though correct and east e l g s not sufficient ly vivacious. Though far from ' a dull writer, our author does not sparkle ove r a ht subject with that animation which is so charming an works written on muets of national manners by Voltaire and Disraeli.' The late Lord Dudley well remarked, in his review of Hardy's "Life of Charlemout," in the Quarterly Review, "How strange it is that the annals of the liveliest people in the world, the Irish, have been consigned to the dullest of writers !" The remark of the noble critic, by no means applicable to Hardy's work or to the book under our notice, is, nevertheless, true in the main. Irish history has been left to be trodden down by a heavy race of pedants. Cold dissertation, or spiteful pamphleteering, meet us in place of the charming and graphic accounts of past times in Ireland, which we miAt naturally look for. It is a pity, for the sake of Irish history, that the Anglo-Irish aristocracy never numbered in its order any Horace Weipoles or Lady Wortley Montaguee. For want of lively memoirs, and entertaining letters, the published annals of the sister country are uninte resting. Yet the private histories of many of the leading families in Ireland abound in curious and so- mantic incidents, upon which the pen of a man of genius would be well employed. Oh! for an Irish Walter Scott! Fancy a man of his large and Ge nial nature, living in the heart of Munster, dwelling on the banks of the Blackwater, said scenes of enchanting loveliness. What traditions he would record, and how many picturesque incidents he would portray ! With plastic ease he would embody in fiction some of the characters that have pealed away from Munster : he would lay under contribution the family histories of the Elizabethan and Cromwellian adventurer,- The mere personal anecdotes of an Irish Walter Scott would be of great literary . value. But to look for such a man in Ireland is at vain as to expect another Daniel O'Connell in Scotland. AB we doubt whether any Scotchman could be bun with the amount of blarney and capacity for droll humbug poi 'eased by O'Connell, se do we think that it would be impossible to generate an Irishman of very powerful genius with the calm and serene temper of Walter Scott. Lord Plunkett is the only case we know of a first-rate Irishman of genius exempt from the impulsive vehemence and extravagant vivacity of the country. In the case of the Duke of Wellington, it is difficult to decide whether his an- Irish steadi ness be the result of physical conformation, or of military habits, overcoming all local influences and early associations. Meanwhile, we must be thankful to such writers as the author of " Ireland Sixty Years Ago." As the sister island has not yet produced any lively mora list like Voltaire, tb dissert with witty vivacity and critical decision upon the manners of the people, nor a catholic genius like Scott to paint all ranks and classes in all eras of history, we must be satisfied for the present with an agreeable annotator on pest times like our author. He can evidently produce more of the materials fit for an instructive history of Irish manners. He ought to select a good model, and systematise his subject, after the mode adopted by some of the approved writers on national character. Books of the class before us belong, strictly, neither to history, nor bio graphy, nor morals, but they partake of all. Neither are they compilations. In the present work the author has collected several particulars from old men of tenacious memory. So that in some respects his book may be classified under memoirs. The exact 1 1 character of the work is an original miscellany of curious anecdotes on Irish life. His choice of illustrations is sometimes not felici tous. In his chapter on abductions, he ought not to have omitted notice of the extraordinary case of Miss Pike, upon which the forensic genius of Curran was employed. Possibly, he may have preferred to treat of cases more remote from our own times, and in which the chance of wounding the feelings of surviving relatives would be unlikely to occur. Such a feeling en an author's part is doubt less praiseworthy; but in cases appertaining to history it should not be carried too far. The chapter on duelling is the least original in the book ; that on the college visitation, by Lord Chancellor Clare, the most st riking and novel. It is supplied chiefly from the manuscript of a friend, whose name the author does not give. This is a contribution of much value. It describes the state of Trinity College daring . the close of the last century. The conflict of opinions which prevailed there is indicated faithfully, and the details relating to the political conduct of some eminent men are very interesting. The sketch of Whitley Stokes is very pleasing lie was one of the fellows of the university, and resigned his fellowship from conscientious sereples, having imbibed peculiar reli. eons opinions. Out of respect to his character and talents, a prodossonhip was given to him. Oa the occasion of Lord Clare's visitation of the college in search of secret societies, the following circumstance oecnired.

He pre served his intellect and love of science to the last, honoured by all parties, and revered by his old pupils. He belonged to a clue of proud, self-respecting men of the last generation. His opinions were those of a " northern whig." The well-known Irish barrister, Robert Holmes, belongs to the same order of men. It was one of " the sights" of Dublin, some years ago, to visit a small dissenting chapel, and see the remark able old men who met to worship there. Amongst them Stokes, Holmes, and Hamilton Rowan used to attract particular notice. We have heard that a man of letters in now em ployed on a reties of curious volumes, illustrative of Irish life in all its varieties. Amusement and in struction may be looked for in them, and we hope the talked-of works will be forthcoming. Irish memoirs, if written by a man of the world, posseseing mental vivacity and good taste, would no doubt prove very agreeable reading. The Irish writers have mostly been authors by profession, admitted only by courtesy to know what was passing in the higher circles. Few Irishmen of fashion have soiled their fingers with printer's ink. Always ready to talk, the Irish gen tleman has not shown an equal propensity to write. Echoes from the Backwoods ; or, Sketches of . Trass-Atlantic Lye. By Captain B . G. A. Leaman. An amusing and instructive volume. Capt. Levinge saw a good deal of colonial and American life, and describes it with much gusto and vivacity. He is, moreover, a keen sportsman, and possesses a scientific knowledge of the requirements and resources of that favourite English pastime. His accounts of his hunting and fishing expeditions are not the least interesting portion of the work; but it is not without information of a graver sort. For much of his matter the anther is indebted to Mr. Perley, a descendant of that Isaac Perley, who, in 1761, was despatched by the then governor of Massachusetts, with twelve men, to ex plore the regions of the great river Bt. John, and who led the first English colony to its banks in 1763. His descendant is now the government emigration agent, and, at the same time, Wunjeet Sagamore, or head chief of the Indian tribe of the Micmac/. No man possesses a better acquaintance with the condition and capabilities of the province; and, consequently, any information coming from him is stamped with an appreciable value. New Brunswick has hardly had justice done to it. This magnificent province contains about 16,500,000 acres of land. Of this 12,000,000 at least (according to Mr. Cleener's reports) are capable of immediate and profitable cultivation : and 1,000,000 acres more might be reclaimed under a better system of agricul ture. The country is well watered by numerous navigable rivers, and is covered with wood of the grated utility and value. Coal is found in several plums. The climate too—except on a narrow sea board of about twenty miles depth, which is foggy— is as healthy as any co the American continents. All kinds of provisions are plentiful and cheap. Beef, mutton, lamb, and veal, are each sold at 3d. per lb. ; butter at 9d. ; cheese, sd. ; tea, 2.5. 6d.; coffee, 10d.; loaf sugar, 6d.; beer, la 6d. per gallon, and so forth. Wages, too, are high—averaging from 341. per day for farm labourers, to 6s. per day for millwrights. The facilities for acquiring land—either cleared or uncleared —are uncommonly easy. Yet with all these splendid advantages, the tide of emigration has continued to roll over New Brunswick towards the Canadas and the northern states of the Anglo-American re public. Thousands have " gone further and fared worse." The resources of this fine territory are little recognised or known in England—even by the legis lators who are called upon to control its destinies. In 1840, the populatica of the entire colony was 158,162. It 110 W probe*, amounts to 200,000 souls The lands already granted to genies 11 1 1 1 6bn 090 five millimis of acres. There are (according to Mr. Perley's report) about tea and a quarter millions of acres, all fit for cultivation and settlement, still un granted, and at the disposal of the government. The want of good roads and greater facilities of com munication have been the principal causes of the g,iclity of new settlers. I Pith more oonvenient • ways, more enlarged river navigation, and, above railways, the vast natural resources of the pro vince would become rapidly developed, and a large proportion of the emigrants who now paw over it to the countries beyond would be arrested in their march, and induced to settle upon its unoccupied lands. There are still the remnants of two Indian nations in New Brunswick—the Micmaot, of which Mr. Parley is the acknowledged chief, and the Milioete. The Micmacs are, both intellectually and physically, a superior race. They are tall, strong, and hardy. They inhabit the seacoast , to which they are warmly attached. Their hunting-grounds, over which they range at pleasure, extend along the whole north- eastern °oast, from Baia Verte to the Bak des Ma kers. Their language is a 'dialect of the Algonquin, of which powerful sake:Cl:bey once constituted nein fiaential tribe. It is exceedingly complex. All the changes of mood, person, tense, and *maw are formed by changes of termination. Upwards of 2,000 terminals are made on one radix ff Via Micmac tongue : from which fact the difSemity of speaking it accord' to the grammatical form may be readily i • The process by which a barbarous people coal build up a language, both 'la copiousness and complexity of constrsotion net unlike the ancient Greek, le by no mesas easy to trace. Can it have originated in a period of great, but now unfortunately extinct, civilisation ? The number of Mimics in New Brunswick is about 1,000. The Milicete tribes are somewhat lees numerous, being about 300 strong, or a little leas, and decidedly inferior. They frequent the countries watered by the St. John and its great tributaries. They principally re side in a village situated about ten miles from Frede ricton, the seat of colonial government. The slight birch-bark wigwam is their ordinary abode ; but some of the more industrious and civilised of them have built two-story houses, chiefly to please the whiter, who entertain a laudable desire to see the natives adopt the acts and appliances of European life. Their love for their traditional usages is, however, inveterate. An old and powerful chieftain was strongly importuned by an English governor to erect a large house of stone es an example to his people. At length he did so ; but on a closer examination it was found that he had built his wigwam inside! The Indian nature is slow to adopt changes, and the English have only been in contact with them for two generations. Time may produce greater effect. It is painful in the extreme to think that the march of civilisation can only advance over the tombs of so many unoffending nations. There is, perhaps, more hope of gradually attracting the Indiana of New Brunswick into the circle of civilised society, then most of the other tribes of North American aborigines. Neither the Micmacs nor the Milicetes paint their bodies. They have given up the custom in consequence of their in tercourse with Europeans. They have both adopted the Christian religion—which, however, they little understand. They were converted by the Jesuits, who atoned for many of their political sins in Europe by bestowing unquestionable blessings upon the poor inhabitants of the New World. They consequently remain very devout catholics. In addition to all these hopeful circumstances, Mr. Perley, their adopted chief, has induced the whole of the Micmac tribe to take the teetotal pledge—a curious and novel fact! This is by no means the least important iv form introduced amongst them ; for the " lire-water " has always been the most prolific source of destruction to the red man. The wild sports of the forest attracted a large share of oar author's attention, and they oc cupy no inconsiderable portion of his pages. He has the keen relish of the true sports man for spirited adventure • and he confi dently recommends his brethren of the rod and the gun to the preserves of New Brunswick. The rivers which flow on the northern side into the Gulf of St. Lawrence abound with salmon ; and offer facilities for fly-fishing, fully equal to those found in Norway. The best season to pursue this sport is from the middle of July to the middle of September; after that, there is a succession of snipe, woodcock, and wild-fowl shooting of every description on the coast, until the setting in of winter compels the birds to migrate to a more southern clime. This region can now be reached in fifteen days from London ; and with as much certainty, and almost es expedi tiously, as the Scotch moors could be a few years ago. The sportsman might spend his summer months in fishing on the lakes and rivers—ascend the mighty St. Lawrence —pay a visit to Niagara—camper through the United States—have a dip into the mys teries of American life, and yet be home in time for " the meet" at Kirby Gate. To such as are disposed to take the hint, we would suggest the desirableness of stowing Captain Levingee volume into their port manteaus. They will find it a cheerful and useful ROYAL ITALIAN OPrm.—Last evening there was an extra performance, at reduced prices, "in order," in the words of the advertisement, " to afford the general public the opportunity of witnessing the new and beautiful theatre, and of hearing the powerful ensemble in Rossini's celebrated opera ' La Donna del Lege,' embracing the entire strength of the company." The prices of adinimion were not much above what they formerly were at the two great English theatres ; and the house was crowded to overflowing in every part. The opera (the first performance of which we have already described) went off with great eclat, and was received with enthusiastic applause. Grief, Alboni, and Mario were vehemently encored in their principal morreaux, and, at the fall of the curtain, they, as well as Signor Costa, were called for in enecession and made their bows and curtsies amid the loudest acclama tions. In short, the " general public" exhibited as arong and discriminating a perception of the beauties of Roesinii gorgeous music and of its exquisite performance as the habi tual frequenters of the Italian Opera could have done. The opera was followed by selections from the new ballets " Lea .7S syades" and " La Resiers," and the divertissement .' La Mewls." There is to be another extra performance of the same kind this evening, when the entertainment will consist of " Le Nozze di Figaro." We hope that these performances at reduced prices are of an experimental nature, with a view to permanently reduced prices next season—a measure which we conceive to be essential to the future welfare of the CLERICAL.
