BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. . __ • CANADA.—The Montreal Herald given the fol lowing account of the results of the recent census of Upper Canada:—" We understand that the result of the census, just completed, of Upper Canada., will give that section of the province a population of from 689,000 to 700,000 souls ; while, by the census of 1642-3, it was only 401,061, giving en increase In five years of nearly 200,000: The lint census for Lower Canada was taken in 1844, when the poputition was 699.806 souls, the increase upou whilh during the last four years is calculated. by reference to ',weeding terns' et whicts censuses have been taken, tu be shoat 70000, gis Ina this section of the province a present population of about 770,000. The p .pulaticn of Upper Canada would thu. , &ppm to increase at thereto of about 40,000 per annual, and L wee Canada at that of about 17,600 per annum. Supposing these rela tive rates of invents to be rnai.itained, near 1852 will see Upper Canada with a population of 8.59,000, and Lower Canada with only 840,000 sank. 1862 will give the tenser • population of 1,259,000, and the latter only 1,015,000 souls. The experience of the past and the pcnient condition of Greet Britain and Ireland will, we think, justify the be lief that the increase of our population i by, immigration, will be greater during the next 12 years thus t has ever hitherto been, wad that the relative proportions of such increase will be largely in favour of Upper Canada. The probability, then, is, the', by the year 1862, the western section of the provisos will contain one million and • half of iLks .itanta, or one-third Isere than that of the eastern section." _ _ min; pnigeari,,;;;F t h e 7th of August):—" We ►earn, with regret, that much mischief has already been dose to the potatoes by the rut. There ere mune fields which have been perfectly destroyttl by this merge in twesttpfour briars." NEW BRUNSWICK.—In this colony also the potato diem* his shown itself. We find the following para graph in the Now Bnatnoicker of August 10:—" Once MOM has this fatal malady made Its appearance in our fields, and commencei its destructive career. Never was the potato mop more promising to the eye than it was about a week ago in this quarter. The loss to the people in the country will be very great, and, is the circumstances of many of them, hard to be borne. Should any other crop be sought 'o be obtained from the ground thus rendered unpro ductive, we should recommend, by all means, recourse being had to the parsnip, the seed of which we dare say may easily be had, as it is a crop which can remain out the winter, and be available early in the spring. The transplanting the ruts. bega has been recommended, and might be resorted to in situations favourahls to the procuring the plants, and getting them quickly into the ground." The St. John's Courier of the 12th speaks more hope- folly : "The weather for the last fortnight has bees generally dry and very warm, affording in excellent opportunity for farmers to secure their nay crops in good cendition.

The state of American society is particularly exem plified by the fast that during the warm weather of our nom ra but little general hugeness is transacted. As I have before anutioned all our watering pints are crowded to ez. etas. The disposition to seek the sea shore, or the inland spas, is not confined to the wealthy. It affects all darer. The wives of our barbers and oordwainers visit Cony Island, es well as the coteries Gif the SOKIPMIX riches. Indeed, it is quite a blot upon the reputation of our cockneys, it they have remained in town all summer. Nearly all the paper of the city, within • few days, have been publishing tall re ps.:a of a fancy hall at Saratoga, just as the Court Journal would of the Queen's levee. Saratoga sad Balaion are two very pretty villages, eon. netted by railweys with Albany, and about forte milts dia. tent. Tarty abound in sparkling eitalybestes of the most 1 delicious taste—at least, to those who are accustomed to their ' flavour. They wen known more than a hundred years ago to the whites, and it is recorded of the early English who were resident ta the colony of New York before the revolu tion that they frequently visited these sprines, an I remained near them in tents while they were drinking the waters. dir William Johnson was constantly in the habit of doing so. As year. rolled on hotels were erected, and now fl teat )ga has its full complement of them, with cottages and Wing 1 houses. Here the Americans resort from ad puts of the ' union, and you see them in their holiday dress. Of tonne the picture is highly coloured, but it is amusing. Among the thousands at then places there are to be found the ride of the land, many who are rich and have no other merit, many beautiful women, of whom we flatter our eaves we have our full share, and many prettndrn of mune. Oar females adopt the French style of drew, regarding the English as staff and formal, sad we believe thot a New York mantras-maker has far more talent, if act tote, than even her counterpart of Peril. Our belles, who bays wintered in the " capital of the world," insist upon it that no este but an American can fit a dress elegantly. Perhaps to the choice of colours or of trimming; the Parisian would excel. Sara toga is the place where the splendour of costume is 'aerially studied, and is constantly visible. Whe her this display be in conformity with good tans is another question I will not now raise. I have been in the habit of visiting Saratiga with the rest of the Americans, and my attachment to it Is sincere. No- thing can be more delightful than to be there with attendant friends. The air, the drives, this wants, the scenery, are lovely. Mazy of the frost pigmies reeolltctions of say life are connected with Saratoga. thie of the modern assessments now n to make the semen at Suatoga fashioaable is that of • ball.

The real is to reed the amounts of I: in the newspapers afterwards. Rat erten are despatched fr the city, and every on who wishes to be in print takes care to have hie paragraph prepared.

Ai.d here we may °been: that this is the Isiah of the American prose. We do not at 1 1 this mantas remember, except in the mom of the Coaster widEersirer, a sines editor in this city who Is 'thoroughly educated and prtsonally a .consplished man. As pofiticiaus. practical observers, and men of shrtednese and besinees ha bits, they have no superiors; but as scholars or itiatOrial3 they are soap. A fancy ball at Santee* has proved quits a godsend to the press, now that the Nexicen war is over and the Irish war is not begun. There is no particular dig: resift pereeptible in the amusements of our fashiouable people and ' those of other countries, but there is much is the mode. The peruse who ae.ire notoriety in an American newspaper are but the reflection of those who send their guinea and their parsgrapt to the newt Gazette in Linden aitzr having been presented. On the subject of American society I shall have same to say hereafter. I have noticed the surprise of f, reign en at what they have observed here, and have diseweed very tictuently the topics inside ntal to coutrasts of manners. A Mae of an English ctrl told me once at Saratoga thst she WWI utterly amazed at the sums of aunty the Americans there would pay tur the use of a carriage tor a short driv.. She equally surprised her listener by assuring him that her sant wee in the hahit us keeping her hoesehehl accounts en titan rolls of paper, and of luokirg personally alter tn. ca p. int s of her kitchen I Toe fine-t sp. cozens cf English gentlemen we ever had in the innate, together were the " thee month. re of parlia ment " as they were call. d, and whose quiet, yet pleasing, manners, shining through even the caution of a retest tact, gave universal pleasure to those Americans who made their ecepiaio• ante, accidentally or otherwise. When they reached the summit of the Catskills, one pleasant morning, they rushed to the cliff and gave a is, erty hung as they gas d on the landscape three theasand feet below. New Turk, Aug. 16.

UMW*lrk, '&q., Dr. 8 enthwood Smith, the Dean I of Westminster, the Bev. Mr. Stone, and other commis amen.

He had desired that a statement snould be made out of their proceedings, of which the foltewine are the principal points The commiesioners at once and throughout the whole of Use districts stopped the current expenditure on works which had been proved to be false in principle and worse than wastetul of money. They speedily put an tad to the Imre per system of mixing up private prof, asional practice with the public service, and resolved, that every paid officer should give his whole doe to his public duties, and by consolidating the executive machinery of paid o ffi cers for ell the districts they increased the aviu.able force at a diminished rate of ex. pease. They are, however, tensible of the additional labours they have tureen upon some of these officers, and of the seal and ability with which they have been performed, and it will be their wish that these circumstances should not be per manently left out of consideration. On the very first day that they assembled--namely, on the 6th of December, they took steps to obtain an authentic and accurate surv , y of the whole of the metropolis on one uniform plan, to put a stop to the waste which had been incurred by works earned on ie separate districts without regard to any common system of levels. Tha commissioners regr t that they have had to expend much time in overcoming difficulties in the way of this work, which was not effectively commenced until the beginning of June. Upwards of 26J men are now in it, and it is going forward with satisfactory speed. he new act, now about to Cane into force, will give authority for completion it fully, and for engraving it on such scales as to be applicable to other important purposes, private as well as public. It will then be a valuable aid in ell new build ings; it will serve for the identification and valuation of property and for the equal assessment of rates, for the con strut:Glow of roads, for the distribution of water and gas, and for other public objects. In the suburban districts it will facilitate land drainage and agricultural improvements. Until this work is completed the commis-ioners will not be able to decide on the practical measures for the introduction of amended drainage works. Th , y are fully sensible of the deplorable condition in which the population of eater sive dietrica are kept during this delay; and to expedite the work they have reduced it, in the flat instance, to the minimum required for immediate and pressing purposes, and have postponed the coneideration of all others. The survey of the denser districts is promised in the e nine of a few months. Concurrently with this survey of the surface of the streets and open spaces in the metropolis they have directed a subterranean or exploration of the various sewers and old sub drainage works, to ascertain their extent and condition, and how far they may be available for future works. The commissioners gave their first attention to immediate measures of relief to the worst conditioned places. They introduced a new mode of emptying cesapools, by which the offensiveness of the opera tion is diminished, the time reduced to one-sixth, and the expense one-third. 1 he adoption of this process was volun tary, and it was employed in more than a thousand places, with the same favourable results. Toe commissioners have considered and prepared instructions for processes of cleani ng, which may be carried into effect by voluntary 11111100 it. dons and private individuals. Thee' are now in oeuree of circulation, and they are preparing oth-rs of the same eha recter. As one means of relief, they directed the extensive cleansing of the sewers by flushing. This has been carried out on 163 miles of the worst c •nditioned sewers, and up wards of 139,000 cube rugs, or about 200,600 tone of refuse have been removed, at a savant of expense of 38,0001. above f reser charge?. Thie, however, could only affect the sewers whibi comprise one-fourth only of the comma evapo retiree surface of a district, ore-fours h beep constituted by the cesspool., and two-four:he or one-half being the surface of ill.coostructed hots e drains. But in general, even the diminution that has been made in this meth, has been sensibly and beneficially felt. The conuaiseioners have net been able fully to effect the operation as they would hare wished. Toe weather has been irregular, and the mans nous from deposit throughout tne sewers, are reported to have been unusually copious, offensive, and injurious: yield ing to the applications of parties, lines of ditches have been covered in, and sewers have been trapped. But these measures have on:y 'kited the evil upon other places Applications and plans have been sent in for the ventilation of sewers by ascending shafts. But from the evidence with relation to the effect of chimney shafts, in the diffusion of vapours from chemical works, such a mode of relief appears to be ea for doubtail as not to justify a retroximendstion for incurrieg the expense. The more effectual cocain will be the prevention of deposit by proper arrangements of the drains, and the system of sewers acted upon by appropriate supplies of water. The first and met urgent work is the execution of such arrang , meets as to effect the speedy and complete removal of all decomposing refuse from beneath tee houses, thst is to say, the omelette system of house drainage. Tr obtain preparatory information as to the nature and extent of the exist.ne home drainage and the expense of cleans.ne and repair, the commissioners have caused queries to be left from house to house to obtain answers teem the occupi , r', and they propose to extend the like inquiries threngrout ther districts; the informatics at present obt , ,ined leads thorn. to believe 3 at at half the annual espeules incurred in the one district examined for re . *rep a had system of old drains, tit -7 will be enabled to have laid down an entire system of new ones. They have had trials ma o with a view to a mon accurwe determina tion of tbe sizes requisite for house drains and other am rains. They have ~erected the consulting engineer and the survevon to prepare a report expneitory of the most ap proved plans of hone drains and cle 'nitre apparatus, with a new to extend the improved principles by voluntary adop tion.

Mr. Cat :mica mated that examinations had been made with a view to ascertain what had been the effects of the darling upon the river. The asurlyees of the water showed no worse a condition than was believed to hay: been shown bOO2ll years ago. A larger proportion of the banks WAS now more cker of mud than formerly. This was attributab'e to the action of the steam-boats, for during the night the de posit increased, and it was els trod away during the day-time. The removal of the dam of the old London-bridge increased the flaw and the sweet) of the water. The proportion of the matter flushed into the river was inconsiderable in propor tion to the bu'it of water, and probably of the natural detritus, brought down the riv. r, and so to as inquiries had yet proceeds.: there was maims to believe that it lasted only a day or two. No doubt the addition of any such matter was injurious for the time ; but it was equally undoubted that it was 1.. r more injurous to have the matter permo. neatly under the houses of the populagon. The flushing operations he hoped would be only a temporary measure. STATE OF HEALTH IN MILLBANK PRISON IN 1847. The following statement, made by the inspectors of Millbank Prison, in their fifth report, dem aids serious oaten. tion. The opinion of the hot ecturs that " the present state of tt,inge is productive of a sacrifice of lift, which might to • considerable extent be avoided." involves a grave charge egeinst government and thy legislature : " The health of the price daring the early part of the year was as goad as in former years; but during the sutures, and winter months there Incurred an unusual amount of sirkeees, and en almost unprecedented mortality. It is not difficult to account for tbis great increaso of fatal disease. Fur, besides the increase in Sao number of prisoners, there were severs: Winn in operation from which no other result ' could follow. One cause was, the abandonment of the system, which had been in practice Ur s: veal years, of re moviug from blink:auk Prima to an invalid hulk at Woolwich all Woe male convicts who, from infirmity, disease, or other cause, were not fit either to undergo transportation, to work is the elocnyar ts of this country, or to be submitted to refor matory discipline at Pentonville or Patkhurat. This pre the was discontinued at the commencement of the year 1847. Fur several months later convicts advanced in years, or labouring under various chronic dimes. s, were ant Inn the local gaols en England, Wales, and Scotland, to Millbank Prison; while of other convicts, app irently healthy when received at Millbank, a larger number than before, owing to musts which will presently be adverted to, became affected with serious chronic disease during their sojourn there. The consequence was an accumulation of unhealthy and infirm prisoners, who, for the most part n quired medical care and the comforts of the infirmary, and who, even if their original infirmities did not tied to a fatal result. yet were liable to suffer severely from accidental causes of illness which would have affected healthy persons but slightly. Another circumstance which has had considerable there in the production of an increased amount of serious diseue, and went particularly of consumptive disease, in Millbank Mass, den the middle of the yes. 1647, is the ohms* total discontinuance of the transport. Min of male convicts, and their consequent deten tion et Millbank for longer periods than before. This cause operated especially in the cans of those convicts who, being lees robust end healthy, were less well fitted for dockyard labour; but, in a measure, it affected ell the convicts, and it nearly doubled the length of the aver doe term of imprison ment of the whole body of convicts. Owing to this Mecum. ranee, disease had time to develop itself in many prisoners who in envier yews would have lett Millbank in good or apparently good health; and this development of disci's:: was the more frequent end rapid trom the mental depression produced by the sentence ot expatriation being now mops sued by the aex:ety and doubt which the convicts felt with respect to their ultimate destination. The 'lichees and mortality were further increased by the fever and influenza which during the autumn and winter were epidemic in the tropolis and 'in other parts of the country. Prisoners generally, owing to the depressed state of their minds end uoilify powers, are especially liable to suffer severely from lever ; and the convicts in Milbank Prism were in the late epidemic attacked by it in large numbers, in several in stances with a fatal result. The intineces did not affect a disproportionate number oldie prisoners. Only 36, out of a impulsion of 1,243, required infirmary treatment on account Of it; and in no instance did it alone arse death, although it hastened the fatal termination of two eases of consumption. The teal mortality in the year was 33 deaths, or 28.646 per 1,000 primmer, ; in the previous year the mortality was only 13 026 per 1,000 prisoners. On referring to the causes of death, the excess In the tire of mortality during the year 1847 is seen to be due to the great num ber of deaths mused by consumption and fever. Of the 33 deaths, 18 were caused by the termer and 7 by the latter disease. The remaining eight deaths were severally due to the following comes : epilepsy, chronic bronchitis with gan grene of the lung, diseased heart, dysentery, cholera, diseased cervical vedettes, Mildbed, and suicide by hanging. Fif teen prison's' were pardoned on medical grounds in the year 1847. Four of these laboured under consumption, and eight under other chronic bodily diseases or infirmities, Tenth ring them unfit for transportatioo. Two were the subjects of mantel delusions ; and one had recently been 'dieted with inanity, and his pardon was recommended ham the fear that continued imprisonment night induce a return of his mental disorder. Ammo* the deaths and pardons there were 21 instances in which the prisoners at the time of their reception were evidently affletecl with the diseases which caused their deaths or formed the grounds of their panto. a. These 21 prisoners, together with an infirm old man who sank under • slight attack of fever, would in former years have been immediately transferred to the invalid hulk. Ot those, too, who died of consumptive disease de veloped in Millbank Prison, several would likewise have been sent to the hulk; sod the result of this would have been not merely to transfer mortality from one piece of imprisonment to another, but really to prolong and even same lives. For undoubtedly many instances have occurred where disease, tending progressively to the destructioa of life, ha been wholly arrested, and health been restored, on the patients being transferred to the hulks, where they have had the advantage of a purer and firer atmosphere, and where *dr minds have been in some measure relieved tram do depression and anxiety which bad before exerted so ilejniene an ii.fluence on their bodily health. The urgent maw city that exists for a healthily situated and well-ordered criminal invalid establishment is shown by the fast think since the commencement of the present year, 18 d. have already been caused by pulmonary comunaptimm other forms of internal scrofulous diereses, and that have been granted to eight other prisoners who in al p=aba bihty would have died of the same disease had they remised in prison. It would be eivy to show that this groat nor tality from consumption is not peculiar to the Minna Prison ; that the same disease is everywhere proadnosil by imprisonment sufficiently prolonged, mom espeslallf when the imprisonmest isattended with circumstancessil le produce much mental depression ; and that the proportiond mortality from all diseases must be exceseive in • prim serving, like Millbank Prison, as a depot from Whisk only the healthy convicts are taken for distribelie other places of confinement. It is not, therefore. bee the desire of diminishing the apparent mortality at Milbank that the evil results of detaining convicts long in this 'stab lament in estate of aspens., and the desirableness of an invalid criminal establishment, have been initiated on, but simply from a touviction that the present state of thing., is productive of a sacrifice of life which might to • considerable extent be prevented." IRISH WASTE LAND IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.— Yesterday the half-yearly meeting was appointed to take place at the offices, 6, Mildred's court, Mansion-house, but no business was transacted because a sufficient number of proprietors did not attend. In the report which was pre pared for presentation to the meeting the directors called attention to the sixth call, on which the sum of 1,8251. rill remained unpaid. The unsettled state of Ireiand and the recent conunereial distress would, no doubt, account for the &Gamey. The anew- were, notwithstanding, in course of payment, though but slowly. Tee proposed lean from the government had not as yet been realised, being impeded by legal preliminsrire, which, however, were drawing to a conclusion. The ametructinn of the pier and mill at Kil herein was proesedlng rapidly, and the second instalment of repay sent from the Board of Works on account of the pier was now due, and expected to be shortly paid. There appeared too moth reason to credit the unfavourable accounts reeposting the return of the potato disease ; but they (the company) were confident that the provision they had made hi the planting for other crops would in a great measure compensate for any loss which they might sustain by the re appearance of the disease. Colonel Robinson, the msnaeing dlreMor, was now in Inked, making his annual inspection, a report of which would be laid before the directors at tits general meeting in February next. From the amounts for the half year ending the 30th June last, it appeared that the balance ist mak then in hand was 8081.4 x., and the assets 14,9241. 10s. FURNITURE BROKERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. —Yesterday the eighth annual general meeting of the above charity was held at the Freer/worts' Tavern, Great Queen street, J. Winter. EA., in the choir.

POOR HATE AND POPOLATIOS.—A return has jest been made to a motion by Sir Robert Fergana in the House of Connaolll. It thence appeals that the population in England, according to the last ceases of 1841, was 15,908,741; the amnia value of property rated to the poor rate was 67,291,171 e, the rate in the pound being oa an avenge le. 7d. The expenditure for the relief of the poor in England from Use year ending Lady-day, 1847, was 6,298,7876; the total eumber of paupers relieved bang 1 721,3.50, and the avenge relief afforded to seek beteg 35 Is. 61d , and the prop .rtion per not, of the number of the paupers relieved to the population 10.8 per mot. In Ireland the population, in 1841, was 8,176,124, and the annual value of the property rated to the poor's rate, 13,187,42 U. The tate in the pound was, on an average, 101 d.; and the eat enditure for the relief of the pane, 657,8971. The total nuttier of peepers relieved, including casual poor, was, 333,019, and the per tentage of paupers re lieved out of the entire populetioe 4 p.r cent., the rate per heal expended on each peeper on an average being U. 14s.

A PARISH DEPAULTER.—Yesterday large bill. were posted on the Surrey side of the river offering a reward of 201. for the apprehension of Mr. Themes Woodward, of the Wandsworth-road, who has been for many years a eel lector of the poor rate for a large district of the parfeh of Lambeth, and who has Amended. The defalcations of Mr. Woodward are maid to be considerable. Tree affairs of this extensive parish, in so far as the rates are concerned, have, it le said, been somewhat confused. le. some ma s the pour rates were allowed to be as many as fin or ex years in arrow, but the present defaleeti an will, it is believed, lead to a general change in the parish government. Woodward has given sureties to the parish to the amount of 2,0005 it is said, but it will be some time be the sureties can be made to pal** amount of their respective hail heeds. INQUEST. YESTERDAY.

For this ho was arrested, and sen tenced to a mouth's imprisonment. His wife and children were compelled to become inmates of the werkhouse.

He complained of great FirkflEßP, and said that the nurse treated him moat cruelly, by kicking hint ant kr.ocking his head against the well, bemuse front weak ness he lay on the ground. He olio said that he had not enough food. His brother was also ill, and charged the schcolmuter with having struck him on the head wit,, the brar.ch of a tree. When she sow the latter his head was plastered, and he was suffering from the effects of the wound. The two brohen were brought to her house co Saturday week. As they were leaving Tooting Dread and cheese were given deceased, which he could not eat. The muter then gave him wine and water. Deceased lingered untl Friday night, when he died.

THE OCEAN MONARCH. ROBBERY AND SUSPECTED MURDER BY PILOTS. Yesterda7, Thomas Bethell and John Bennion, two of the Dm pilots, were charged at the Po:ioc-court, Liverpool, with the robbery of several of the unfortunate passengers of the Ocean Monarch. The wart was crowded, and the ease exerted, of course, the deepest he.erest. Mr. Heary Powell, a second-cabin passenger in the unfor tunate vessel, stated that be was on deck a'. the time the fire broke out, leaped into the water, and was taken into the boat which the mate and some of the crew had gut out. After floating adrift for some time, they were taken up by a pilot boat, with the name " Pi ot Qu, en, of Chester," upon her. As they were dripping wet, he en I five or six others took o ff their clothes and got into berths below. In &beat an hour afterwards he heard a noise above—a quarrelling about property, and, putting on a seaman's jacket, he went on deck. He observed a man gliding away from the bow, in a small boat, with a trunk in it. RI and the re-t of those picked up left afterwards in the boat to which they came. They kit, however, one pessenger ' a respectable young man , behind in his berth; he appeared to have a good deal of money upon him, and witness had previously heard him offer a sovereign to the crew it' they would put him en shore. Witness, on leaving the boat, had a blanket which he had brought up from the berth wrapped about his shoulders. One of the crew, whom he believed to he the prisoner Bethel, swore, and attempted to snatch the blanket from him. He beseeched him not to strip it from him, and taking a valuable watch from round his neck he gave it to him that he might be allowed to keep the blanket. He found, when on the deck, that a hand kerchief and portions of his clothes had been taken away ; the studs had also been extracted from his shirt. He and those who left with him in the boat were picked up by a smack and landedat Beeoombe. When on board the smack the young roan left behh.d became the subject of conversation, and a general fear was expressed that from the rapacity and inhumanity which the pilots had shown for the sake of his money they might throw him overboard. Edward Rosen, a mama on board the Ocean Monarch, stated that alter the tire had broke out he got with the others into the stern boat. He said ." I e.. - 1 her adrift myself. We were at the mercy of the wind and waves. We had only one oar. and could neither steer nor pull MR the Chests: pilot boat picked us up. I can swear to the prisoner Bethell as being one of the crew nu board the pilot boat. After they picked us up they picked up the other boat in which the mate and Mr. Powell were. The men in charge lent the mate an oar, and he and tour of our crew returned to the burning vessel. The prisoner Bethel was tacking and trying to get to windward ; he said he would put us ashore at Hilbra Island; but in stead of doing so he kept veering and picking up thine', amongst them a main gallant yard quite new. The other prisoner Bennion picked up a trunk, on the bottom of ' which I read, " Richard Young, Portsmouth, Virginia " They afterwards picked up two can and a ladder. He kept tacking and would put us neither at one place nor another. We met an Irish smack, "the Queen of Wicklow," and he said he would put us on board of that, and we got into our own boat for the purpose. Mr. Powell bad a blanket round his neck, and the prisoner Bethel wanted to take it from him. Mr. Pow,•U said, " No, don't take it from me," and gave him his watch, Bethell afterwards wanted a shilling a piece from each, for having picked us up.—Croasexamined by Mr. Davenport ; The pilot boat was three or lour miles to the windward of the heroic g vessel, but we thought they might have worked up. They gave the mate their oars, however, and would have had to go against both wind and tide. When the trunk will picked up they were five or six miles from the Welsh coast, Adam Jones,another of the seamen of the Chwan Monarch, claimed the trunk in question. He said the name of Young" on the bottom was, he supposed, the maker ; he had purchased it in Boston. He had examined tee cont,nts of the trunk now, and found mi sing two pairs of trougers, • shirt, two black silk handkerchief., and a spotted colour..d handkerchief; some pictures, and things of that kind, and a pair of boots. It was lock .d at the time he heaved it overboard. Jahn Polk.; a boy employed by the prisoners on board the pilot boat, said that Bennion had asked Powell ss. for the blanket, when he gave him his watch. John Bennion took the trunk that was picked up to his house at Dte Hank. There was a man left on board the pilot boat; be and another boy, under instructions, took the small b at , and put him on board the " Taliesin, Rhyl steamer, bound for Livespool. Bates, the detective officer of this town, who apprehended Beth, 11, said that on asking him he denied that he had picked up may treat. He afterwards confessed to it, Lut said it had been picked up on Friday. A jacket and trow aers which the trunk had contained were found hung op is Bennion's house, and some of the other things bad been washed. He got Mr. Powell's watch firom a watchmaker at Holywelt, to whom the wiled Bennion had digiosed of it. Police coistable Tuck stated tom he apprehended Ben nion. He, also, at Best denied that anything beyond riktglig had been picked up, and talked • good deal about the sal vage be expected. A number of other witneeses were in court, but as they could merely speak to the points already in evidence they were not called. Mr. Rushton said he must have the young mon who had been left in the cabin of the pilot boat clearly accounted for. A person, named William Greenough, a preens!. r. step peed forward, and cad there was a young man , Henry Fisher, in wart, who could prove that a relative of his was taken on board the pilot-boat; every inquiry had been made, how ever, concerning him, but nothing could be learned. Mr. Rushton said there was an absolute felony as to the cloth's. The prisoners ware plots —men on wnosi ship. wrecked people ought to be able to rely mere than upon ohm. He remanded the prisoners.

IRELAND. DMILIN. Emigration to a considerable extent is now in pro gress from many of oar pour law unions. The parties enabled to emigrate are young females, and their des tination Australia. Tho females recommended in every instance am those without near relatives, and who would in all probability, bad they remained at home,be permanently chargeable on the union. They are supplied with abundant rations, good clothes, and a free is afforded them by the government, who e rare also that, on reaching their destination, they shall be provided for until they ob tain eneagements as servants either in the house or farm. This there is no difficulty iu their achieving, as such persons are much wanted in Australia, and the wages given arc good. Thus those young women who if left at home must be per manent paupers or worse are placed in a position to earn an independent livelihood and enabled to make respectable settlements for life. The yonng persons seem to like the opening presented to them, and they leave with cheerfulness for their new sphere of life. A considerable number of these emigrants arrived on Tuesday from Ballina-100, Tuam, Westport, Castlebar, Bernina, and other western unions, and e ere received on board the Shaenim—a vessel provided by govern ment fer their reception, and in which they will sail with all speed fur Australia. Mr. W. I. Ilerceek, assistant poor-law commis sioner in Ireland, died on Tuesday, at Sutton, near Dublin. Mr. Hancock was formerly land agent to Lord Largan, and his evidence before the Devon Land Commiseron presents the beet end most com prehensive account of the northern custom of tenant right. The deceased gentleman was father to Mr. W. N. Hancock, professor of political economy in our university. His death was caused by severe typhus fever, caught in the discharge of his duty. He was in his 57th year. An accident which, fortunately, was not productive of any serious damage, occurred on Monday night to the Cambria steamer, belongirg to the London and Holyhead Company. About midway between Holyhead and Dublin, the belt which binds the rods which keep the flanges of the paddles in their places broke short. The rods flew wild, and the whole of the paddle wheel was in stantly torn away, and the wheel rendered per fectly usek,s. Tho vessel steamed to port wine one wheel only at work, and the result was that she was four hours lute in her arrival, not having reached Kirgstown pier until three this morning. The acci dent was one which no vigilance could guard against, hut no danger could occur from it unless a storm should prevail, which fortunately woe not the cave in this instance. The Irish public regard these boats with very great favour. The Tipperary paper gives ample note of the out cry we shall have most probably from thence during the approaching winter. It records an attack upon a dwelling, and the beating of the owner, a person named Tracey, wh3 had ventured to take a farm from which a person had been ejected who would not till it. The seems paper reports a notice from Captain Spillblood, a highway robbery, a house robbery, and the shooting of a valuable horse. These are the crimes of the district fur one week. At the same time it ought not to ba unknown how diligently certain gentry are employed in furnishing pre texts foe these outrages, and perhaps pro voking or stimulating thereto. A Limerick paper gives names and particulars of 21 families and 102 persons evicted a few days since in Owney, the dis trict around Nenagh. The gentleman who has done this is a clergyman of the established church. A Mr. Philips has evicted 32 persons in the same die t.ict ; and Mr. Augustus Stafford (late O'Brien) is adding his contribution to the fund of reckless dis content these acts are sure to generate. There are nearly 6,000 persons in the receipt of relief in the union of Kilkenny. The Italian Opera company has commenced per here, and Dublin presented iu its theatre, on the fleet night, ae gay and splendid au outside as if we never knew distress, or as if famine had never visited us. The temper shown by the people was as outwardly . loyal as if we never s had a club or an abortive insurrection. The house was very full. Many military and naval officers were present. No, inn was the opera. Perhaps there could be no better evidence offered of the progress which Newry is making in trading importance than is presented by the fact that another new steamer has arrived there to be placed upon the New:7 Canal. On Tuesday five individuals of foreign air and lan guage mere seen to land front on board an English ship at our quay, and as the police have had strict orders given them to watch each persons with mere than ordinary vigilance these men at once attracted their notice. On investigation and inquiry it was found that all the men were armed, and they were at once taken into custody and brought before the magistrates. They stated in the police-office that they were Germane, and had, with others, taken passage for America at a German port. The vessel in which they sailed was wrecked at sea, and they were picked up by another vessel, which landed the party at Plymouth. The vessel in which they came here took them on beard at Plymouth, and they were intending to make theft way to Liverpool, and thence to America. They accounted for the possession of the arms by stating that they had intended to use them in " the far west." The police having used all diligence in investigating these statements found them true so 16r as they could be tested, and the Germans were eoesequently released from custody. The magistrate desired) that as respects the arms the pollee should take care they were not pertained to dispose of them. A storm of hail and rain passed over the north p.or tion oethe county of Dublin on Tuesday lay', doing immense damage to the crops yet standing, which were in the more exposed situations beaten into the soil. Indeed, Ido not had any accounts of the state of other districts which come in any degree near the reality of the state of things around Malabide. A farm was last night pointed unt to me, from which wheat was cut last week and Fold as straw in the market, the farmer not finding it worth the expense of thrashing. The accounts yesterday from the coun try are not all one could wish. In some dietricte the weather has continued very unsettled ; in others, however, the harvest operations are proceeding with great success and under favourable anepicee. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, Aro. 29. Subscriptions have been commenced for the relief of the families of the ahipwreked fishermen at Peter head. The lives lost at that port are given at 19, whilst the destruction of boat property is estimated at 3,0001. Tce harbour trustees of Peterhead have commenced the list with a donation of 2001. The alleged want of harbour light, and the certain ab sence ..sf a hfe boat, are circumstances disgraceful to a port so largely patronised as a fishing station as Peterhead appears to be. The independent or Cowan party in Edinburgh is invreasing. At the Registration Court the conserva tives exhibited a decrease of 44 ; the whigs of 318; whilst the independents bad an addition of 24. The total decrease on the register is 366. Fillan's bust of Proteaso* Wilson, exceat , cl for this community of Paisley, was inaugurated last week. Paisley has always been proud of Christopher, and in this respect forms an exception to the usual frigidity ' with which prophets are regarded in their birth I places. The bust is said to be an able one. The inhabitants of Aberdeen are waxing anti quarian in anticipation of the Queen's vied, and have evoked from one of the Spalding Society's pub lications the follow i ng document sent by the privy council to the burghers of " Bon-Accord,' on occasion of the visit of James VI., in 1617: To our richt treat fter.dis, the prowest an l bailliee of Aberdcine after our Irene hartie commendrionis, whetmek tee K.ngis hisiestie, at his comeing to this kingdom° (God willing), this approeheing spring, will haws occasioun to ye. m.vne s dire aertane space shout hinorewmouth to his span and mac, it is like sough that it the necesaitie of hi princtlie alio', and adois will not suits him ti come fords, Berth*, that yitt divers of his tryno and followari., ups nelemen and vtheris of rank and gusliti:, out el their curiosity tt visite the prioei.all pain., and chili banowis at Mk kingdoms, will tak Farina in
