We have late accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, with Graham's Town papers to the 27th July. The news from the frontier is of an important cha racter, for, so far from indicating any cessation of hos tilitieq,there is every appearance of a combined move ment en the part of the native tribes beyond the frontier against the British settlers and the British government. It would seem that the notorious Kreili had assembled his followers, and informed them of his intention of commencing hostilities; stating, at the same time, that Bandana bad proposed a gene ral confederacy of the Kaffir tribes, in order, by a united effort, to overcome the English, in which con federacy Pato had joined, and likewise Mapassa, the chief of the Tambookies. Information of these pro ceedings reached Graham's Town, and very naturally excited much alarm; for the intelligence received from all parts of the frontier strengthened the belief that such a combination had been effected. The Graham's Town Journal remarks : Several communications have come to band from the upper part of the boundary, all of which go to show that affairs in that direction present no very pleasing aspect. The large and fine territory extending from the Stomberg to the Orange river, and which hag so long courted occupa tion by the white man, is deonrilsed as filled with natives, Kaffirs, Tambookies, and Mumma Formerly these different tribes ware at continual feud, bat it would seem that the war in which the colony to now engaged, has so far suppressed this national, or rather tribal animosity, that they can now dwell together in a country which for merly none of the parties could occupy without being sure of attack by t►e others. The accounts continue to tell also of large droves of colonial cattle which have Nosed in that direction towards the Basouto country, where it is conjec tured, with a great show of probability, they have been bar tered for gunpowder. A letter before as states "It is well known that for several years past a large trade in gunpowder, both from the eastern and western districts, have been carried on in the country north of the Orange river, and that great quantities have been bought by the Basouta chief, Mashesh, who, it is said, has a large magazine on the top of the Table Hill, on which he has his residence. It will be wise for our government not to trust to the friendly professions of this man, or to any other of the native chiefs. It is a fact, that any forbearance which may be shown by them towards the colony arises simply from policy, and not from any innate regard for the white man, or respect for the colonial govern ment. The Kaffir war has had the worst possible effect on their minds, all that salutary fear which they once had of British power having become, from the protracted character of our warfare, weaker and weaker. Any serious reverse on our side would at once precipitate the whole of these tribes upon the colony, and it is impossible to say in that ease what the consequences would be, or where the devastation would end. The most earnest attention of the government should be directed to this quarter, and every measure which may be resolved on should be promptly and decidedly carried into execution." The same paper says : Tne information received from the immediate border is well calculated to induce the authorities, and also the inha bitants, m dealing with the Kaffir', to move with the greatest circumspection. A letter before us from the upper part of the boundary towards the Chumie, contains the following remarks : " It is most important the governor should well consider hie measures, as the next movement against the Kaffir" will very probably decide either their fate or that of the colony. Tke Kaffir" intend to stand their ground, and the contest will, I expect, be severe. I am informed that a Kaffir went to Sandals the other day, and without circumlocution, asked his permission to put to death the missionary Roes. Ssndilla refused this, 'hut, expecting mis chief, sent some of his pakati (councillors) to the place where Mr. Rose resides, to afford him protection. A day or two atter this another Kaffir came there, and deliberately loosed one of his horses. This man then went to a *tore, from which he took a saddle, and, on being asked why he took these things, his answer was, that the country was dead, and that if he did not take them others would. This mode of expression implies that the country is in a state of utter disorganisation, and evinces the worst possible feeling towards the colony." Kaffir depredations continued; but, in order to put a stop to robberies, it had been determined to flog all prisoners taken with stolen property. This had been put in practice with some success in the neighbour hood of the Buffalo. By her majesty's ship Recruit, arrived at Spithead, there is news from Portugal to the Ath bast., at which date Lisbon was tranquil. The Terrible, dispatched to the Coast of Africa for Count Bomfiai and his fel low-prisoners, had not returned to the Tagus. The elections were to take place under a fresh decree, ex plaining the proposed revision of the registry. Accounts from Sydney, New South Wales, to the Ist of Jane inform us of the opening of the colonial legislature by Sir C. Fitzroy, with a speech, in which his excellency dwelt upon the prosperous condition of the colony, and announced that the state of the public finances was such, that the amount already at the cre dit of the crown revenue would enable the administra tion to liquidate, during the current year, the whole of the outstanding debentures, amounting to about 100,0001., which had been issued to meet the expenses of immigration in former years. This, he remarked, would leave the territorial revenue wholly unen cumbered, and consequently available as an adequate security for the issue of fresh debentures, if it were thought desirable hereafter to raise sufficient sums in order to carry out the system of immigration, which he had recommended to the home government, to the extent of 5,000 statute adults. Sir Charles also an nounced to the council the determination of her Majesty's government to surrender to the legislature of the colony the right of appropriating the casual revenue of the crown collected therein, to be applied as part of the ways and means. The speech of Sir C. Fitzroy was received with much favour, and the address in reply was unanimously adopted. The following important, and in some respects very significant communication, has been addressed by Mr. Trevelyan, the assistant-secretary to the Treasury, to the editor of the Times : Sir,-1 hope you will, in justice to those who have ap. Pointed a general collection in the churches on the 17th (the day of the Thanksgiving), and Mill more in pity to the un happy people in the western districts of Ireland, who will again perish by thousands this year if they aro not relieved, Publish the accompanying statement, which has been pre pued by Sir John Burgoyne, for the purpose of explaining silty anu!her effort of this sort is necessary. It may Ma satisfactory to you that I should add my testimony on three main points, having, as you are probably swore, made this subject my principal study for a long time past, and being constantly in the habit of receiving information, both written and oral, from MI parts of Ireland io reference to it. These points are: First,—That the hew Poor Law will be enforced in Ireland to the storm extent of the power of the Government—that an assistance whatever will be given from national funds to those unions which, whether they have the nit or not, undoubtedly have the .power of maintaining thtir own poor—and that the oodleetion of the rates will be enforced as far as it can be, even in those dis- temeed meshes mime le emillime id= elm be si It = IIII MI ath we of lame the wild system was se entirely based upon pdfdloos dismibed by Sir J. Hu , that it was impala Itat the habits of the people eoall be so suddenly change& Ned new modes of subsistence so soddenly established, as to anew of the crowded population midst bad grown up under the plate system sup porting theemelves without usistanoe in thaeassond year after the fellece. And, thirdly, That the change ism an idle, bar harass, Weed potato cultivation, to corn cultivation, which enforces I,deefrf , binds together employer and employed in mutually eMI relations, and, requiring capital and skill for its sismsdhl prosecution, supposes the existence of a class of substantial who have an interest in pre serving the good ease of Red% is preceding m fast es an reasonably be expected =dr elmeassteeme ; and that if the rich and highly-favoured portions of the em ire give some further temporary soisteste to them distressd sections of our population, to enable them to " tide over" the shoals upon which they have Mho, the harbour will, ere long, be attained. If you my testimony on these polo to of any public value on the present ocomion, you are at liberty to make any UM of it you think proper ; and it is Sir John Burgoyne's intention that his paper ahould be published with his name, which, considering the accurate information he has obtained in the management of the relief commission, cannot fail to carry great weight with it. Believe me, air, yours very faithfully, C. E. Tacrat.tax.—Salt•hill Hotel, near Dub lin, Oct. 7. Bir,—Notwithstanding the impatience expressed at the demands for Ireland, we must still, in common charity, afford her considerable assistance. Distress still hangs over that country, from which she is quite unable to relieve herself. It is not the ordinary distress of a lowering the condition of people from one of luxury or comfort, but it is the re ducing them from the lowest state that can support life to one without means even to do that. Absolute famine still stares whole districts in the face, and we must not allow ourselves to become callous to the horrors of such an evil because we have had it before us for any given period. But it is said that it is their own fault, and originates in an erroneous and improvident system. Supposing it to be so, are we to allow thousands to die of starva tion because they were enabled by Providence to subsist previously, for almost ages, on on erroneous system f The only other argument against extraneous relief is that the country ought to be called upon to make sacrifices to re lieve itself, and that the a - property of Ireland mast sunpgrt --a-- and oae that bu been adopted by the legislature in the pro visions of the New Poor Law. That law, being duly carried out, will compel all that can contribute for the support of the poor to do se in proportion to their means, and wall reduce the demand on others to what cannot possibly be met by that proviaion. The extent of the effect of the loss of the potato in Ireland, however, is still not perfectly understood, particularly as af fects all whose income was dependent on the land, up to the greatest proprietors. The great max of a dense population spread over the face of the country lived, 19 is well known, on the potato. A family once located on from one to three or four acres of land wan provided for ; a cabin could be raised in a few days, without the expense of a sixpence ; the potatoes, at the coat of a very little labour, supplied them with a sufficiency of a food with which, from habit, they were perfectly con tent ; and a pig, or with some, a cow, or donkey, or pony, and occasional labour at a very low rate of wages, gave them what was requisite to pay a rent and for such clothing and other articles as were absolutely necewary, and which with a great proportion were on the lowest scale of human existence. The foundation of the whole, however, was the pales...ion of the bit of land ; it was the one, and the only one, thing absolutely necessary ; the rent consequently was high, and generally well paid, being the first demand on all money received, in order to /Retire that essential tenure, and only what remained became applicable to the other objects. Although of the lowest grade, it was an easy mode of sub instance, and led to the encouragement of early marriages, large families, and a rapidly-increasing population; and at the same time afforded the proprietor a very good return of profit for his land. We can hardly wonder at the eon ' tinsance of this improvident system, u it has been called. The entire loss of the potato in 1846 threw this whole class into absolute destitution ; whatever little means could be obtained went for food, thousands died of want, and, of course, not a shilling of rent could be raised among them, thus spreading distress to many superior classes. The next to these were the small farmers who cultivated from 6 to 20 or 30 acres, and may be supposed to have been exempt from being much affected by the calamity, but were not re. They were, in fact, without capital ; the food for themselves, families, and dependents was still the potato ; they had a cow or two, perhaps a pony and a cart, and two or three pigs. Their farming was of the most slovenly de scription, and their selling produce, after paying their rent, afforded a little better clothing and a little more of comforts than enjoyed by the cottiers. Still the main stay was the potato. When that went, everything else at the disposition of this class was required for food, and with a great number was insufficient ; the pay ment of rent was not only impossible, but all the little stock and other means for future continuance of their habitual occupatinn were disposed of ; and a great number of this class were added to the absolutely destitute. Here again is experienced another falling off; for these constituted the lower rate-payers, whose contributions for supporting the poor can wily no longer be looked to, but who will them selves, many of them, add to the number of paupers to be 'We extent to which these two classes were affected by the ' loss of the potato may be estimated by the numbers that it was found necessary to furnish with mere food for many month, in 1847, which at one time amonnted to 3,000,000 individuals. It is usual to consider the property in Ireland generally as fairly chargeable with the remedy for the result of this calamity after the first helping hand given to it, but it cannot be so adjusted. In all parts the evil has been felt, but in some much more intensely than in others. On all the eastern side of Ireland, from north to south, the proximity to the English markets induced a greater cul tivation of produce for barter, and there are more farmers, graziers, &c., independent of such an article as the potato, although there is mixed up with them a large number of comer.; but even these latter have in some degree more resources in available ne_aru for the application of their labour. These districts, therefore, may reasonably be required to make the necessary sacrifices to struggle through the difficulty, and may comprehend, perhaps, four-fifths of the country', but the remaining fifth—that along the west of Ireland—remains in a most deplorable condition, and has not within itself the possible power of relief. The west of Irelands far removed from markets, and it would require the judicious application of much capital, and under more favourable circumstances than Ireland has yet afforded, to raise it from its late condition of mere self su&PhertcioniVqluiEenecencel;as been that these western counties are almost entirely occupie 1 by the coulees and small ho!ders above described, not only arising from their backward state as regards the production of articles for bar ter, but encouraged by another casual circumstance in the nature of the coast, which, being in deep gulfs and inlets, sup plied them with an abundance of sea-weed, which, applied to the land, was peculiarly favourable to the propagation of the potato. Hence the great body of the people there are now without food, and the few above them without the rents which could supply their only means of relieving the rest. In other countries, one interest may come to the relief of another; the farmer may relieve the manufacturer and mer chant, and vice versa, as the case requires it ; but in Ireland there is but one interest, being that in the produce of the land. It may be assumed, perhaps, that the people having now genet trough the periods of dearth of the two last yours, ought to be sufficiently provided for by the abundant produce of the present season. Undoubtedly the especial hand of Providence has been thus mercifully extended towards the relief of the people, in a manner that will greatly mitigate the general distress, but it still leaves a large amount absolutely requiring a great extent of human and humans exertion. Although the potatoes have succeeded better this year than on the two former, not above one-sixth of the usual quantity has been planted, and that not by the small occu piers, as usual for their support because the case appeared hopeless, and, even otherwise, the seed was wanting. The lands of many were ill adapted to other crops, or they had no means of tilling them; or, even where they have put in turnips, or oats, &c., the prates will be quite insuffi cient for their support, for, it must be observed, that it re quires three times Me quantity of land laid out in corn to what would be necessary in potatoes to feed for the year any given number of persons. Thai it must plainly appear that Ireland in all parts is still in much distress; but along the west very active and extended benevolence is required to be exerted from else where to prevent the moat horrible scenes ; that this calamity is continuous, and can only be gradually removed by a new order in the social system, which it will be the interest, and must be the effort, of all parties to introduce and to accele rate.—J.

THE CABINET COUNCIL. -•------ In compliance with the summons issued the week before last, for a Cabinet Council at the Foreign-office this afternoon, at two o'clock, the several Cabinet Ministers I began to assemble shortly before the appointed hour.—Lord John Russell and Viscount Palmerston came to town soon after one o'clock, from Windsor Castle, where their lordships , had been visiting the Queen.—The Marquis of Lansdowne, I the Lord President of the Council, also came to London 1 from Bowood.park, Wilts.—The Lord Chancellor arrived to attend the meeting of his colleagues, from Copse-hill. The following are the members of the Cabinet present on the occasion:—Lord John Russell, First Lord of the Tree- Bury; the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord President; the Lord Chancellor ; the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; Earl Grey, Secretary for the Colonies ; Via count Palmerston, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Secretary for the Home Department ; the Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the Admiralty ; the Marquis of Clanricarde, Postmaster- General; the Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Presi dent of the Board of Control • the Right Hon. Henry Libouchere, President of the Beard of Trade ; Viscount Morpeth, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests ; and the Right Hon. Thos. B. Macaulay, Paymaster of the Forces. The ministers remained in deliberation up to the hour when we were compelled to go to press. It was the first Cabinet Council since the dissolution of parliament, and, as all the ministers have made arrangementa to remain some five or six weeks in town, it is generally thought that there will be a succession of councils this month. t No. 349.] LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 12, 1817. [3d. COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—We have a rather marked rally of prices in the funds this morning under actual circum stances. Consols advanced to 83 to ¢ for money and the 14th, and to 84 to k for the November account, in which business is now done. From these improved rates thero was a slight reaction of about subsequently, but they have now again more than re covered, and, with a market apparently firm, are at 83} to 3 money and account, and 844 to 1 for No vember. The 1 per cent. continuation from the present account to November will not appear so exces sive after what has been lately witnessed of from I to 2 per cent. between the money price and 10 days or a fortnight forward. A con tango of 1 per cent for about six weeks is equal to the rate of between 8 and 0 per cent. for the year. This excess oT interest is sufficiently indicative of the straitened state of money affairs. Capitalists with available resources might make, perhaps are making, a brilliant business by purchasing stock for bank notes, and selling to the Stock Exchange for time, with the certain profit declared, or, if such their opinion, waiting for the chances of a more decided reaction and rise in prices still. The improve ment is mainly grounded, according to report in some quarters, upon the meeting of the cabinet council to-day, which is believed to be summoned for the express purpose of considering and adopting some assiatkal aseseare for present difficulties, and the embarrassing position of the Rank. The result of the council is, therefore, looked for with anxiety, although with no very sanguine expectations any where. The fineness of the weather may, however, have some connexion with the more cheerful situation of the market, for such, without any other particular reason, is not unfrequently the case i n the absence of any special cause of discouragement or adverse poli tical news. _ _ Reduced Threes are 811 to 21 ; Three-and-a Quar ter per Cents., 831 to 1; Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 159. discount; Bank Stock, 180 to 5.

This is worthy of notice in itself i but, taken in combination with the state of the money market, it becomes perfectly astonishing. There is, we believe, no trade ap proaching in magnitude to the Tallow trade, in which so large a proportion of the burineu is done for ready money, as in this market. We speak not now of the operations of dealers, bat of the purchases made by the ulti mate parties, the manufacturers. And this, while it shows the bones fide property of the persons engaged in the trade, explains, at the same time, how it has happened that Tallow hog been less affected than almost any other article by the monetary crisis through which we are passing. But Tallow is not alto ether unsuaceptille to the indocile° of the resent crisis. If a fall has not taken place, a very considerable rise has; at any rate, been prevented. We speak within compass when we say that at least four-fins cd the Tallow lately consumed has been paid for within the fourteenth day of purchase, and of this by far the greater part on the very day the goods were bought Fee the remaining one-fifth, credit has been obtained ; but on such terms as to induce the buyers to do with as little Tallow as possible. So that it may be affirmed, with the most perfect truth, that both these, and many of those who have paid in cash, would have taken a much larger quantity, could the usual accom modation have been granted to them. Seeing, then, that the demand is repressed within the narrowest limits by the state of the money market, and that nevertheless it greatly exceeds any former period, we may safely argue its continu ance in the same relative proportion to other years, as it is scarcelymore possible to conceive of credit being restricted is than it at present. But there is another, and a very im portant consequence, which may possibly arise out of the crisis. The total quantity of Tallow for ship-', meat this season is estimated at 140.000 casks against an average of 115,000 casks for the last five years. Large as this quantity unquestionably is, it is of no moment in our present inquiry, as it has been long known that this quantity existed, and to this expectation our prices have been, so to 'peak, ad justed. But it will be of great importance if any considerable portion of this 145,000 auks should winter in St. Petersburg. It is, therefore, well to consider how far the want of con fidence so generally prevailing here, and which, in its cone.- quenoes, has swept down, within the last fortnight, two houses deservedly enjoying the highest credit in St. Peters burg, may lessen the disposition and the power to make pur chases on the other side, and, by consequence, affect the ship ment of Tallow.

IN our anxiety to promote discussion and inquiry on the subject of currency reform, we republish another plan, which has been put forth through a re spectable Manchester contemporary. Our readers are, however, aware, that in thus fulfilling our duty as journalists, we reserve our opinions on the points a t lane. These we take to be, whether parliament is so wise, and the trading world at large so foolish, that it is imperative to pat the latter under the guardianship of the former ; and, secondly, whether it is necessary to knock down our present established system in Coto, and set up a spick-and-span-new device in its 'stead—the advantages as well as the faults of which we can now only glean from the descriptions given by the originators—or whether a mere removal of restrictions that are now universally denounced, and, indeed, all bat given up by their quondam advo cates, would not be the safer plan. On the first point—the utility of parliamentary tute lage—we shall here say little. We should rather see the merits of electing any guardian over the common sense of the nation evolve themselves out of a recog nition of the true principles of currency. Of the plans for proportioning paper issues to certain reserves of gold we have already spoken, and declared that we thought they presented an insufficient guarantee to the public. This opinion we must extend to the plan suggested in the Econo mist, which would withdraw at least one-half of the gold now in circulation, to substitute bank notes for three times its amount. Independent of their offering insufficient security these plans involve a palpable contradiction. Wh ilst inculcating the fallacy that a bank note is of no value, unless convertible into gold, they yet allow the Bank of England a considera ble capital—not only not of gold, bat not even of iron, sugar, grain, or anything else—but consisting merely of a debt due by government to the Bank. They shut their eyes even to the dilemma in which the Bank at the present moment stands, owing to this absurd contradiction in the charter act of 1844, on the possible practical result of which at the present moment we decline saying more, than that the sooner it is looked to, the better, not withstanding the confident tone of the Examiner. We have hope, however, from the cabinet council of this day. The Bank capital having been employed by government in its own way, some century or two back, it required all the confidence of the ballionists to assume that the present capital, made up as it is of government credit, would stand their test. We heartily wish it may,whenever it comes to be requited. But the very high tone assumed—the abuse of men of long experience in the commercial world, u if they were both incapable of calculation and regard less of their fair fame in the world—is not the best way to conceal a flaw ; and it will be better to examine into the real facts, in a calm and business-like manner, than to attempt to mystify what all who run will soon be able to read. A little foresight would have shown that it was unwise to attract danger to the vulnerable point. Gold or bullion, when re quired, is usually sought at the extremities. It is in manufacturing districts, where wages have to be paid —at our great importing harbours, where bullion is wanted for exportation—that it is first looked for. To have to draw it out of the Bank of England, demands a two-fold, sometimes a three-fold, credit; for, every bill discounted at the Bank must have two London names upon it, and for those the country house must pay in some shape. Upon this position of a national bank, which has only a debt in case of need to fall back upon, we think a dif ferent plan from that concocted in 1844 could have easily been constructed. The credit of the govern ment is doubtless well worth fourteen millions ; but se ' is, perhaps, the tobacco now stored in the London docks. The only difficulty is how to tarn either into sovereigns when they are suddenly demanded. Nor can we see any way out of the dilemma, save that of letting the Bank resume her good old safe position as a citadel of credit in the midst of a busy, thriving, active population, watching over their doings, exciting their industrious dispositions, drawing moderate profit from their gains, and not participating in their risks. If we left a body of people accustomed to mercantile cal culations to themselves, we should, probably, see them build up a hill of credit like ants, by laying sticks and stones and grains of dust together, slowly, perhaps, but with wonderful insight into risks to be guarded against, avenues for escape, conduits to carry off water, and pliant supporta to withstand or bend to storms. If amongst these any aspired to trade in money—one of the oldest trades of which we have any account—there is little doubt that in Lombard-stmt, in Liverpool, Glasgow, and Hull, there are heads able to compass what long since was known to Lombard., Flo rentines, and Easterling'', that if they make use of credit they can only do so by providing due means of payment. The business of buying gold and silver in quantities suited to the current demand of the coan try would pass back again to a certain set of mer chants who held it formerly. With these merchants all who iesned notes or bills would have to deal, and they would quickly perceive whether their issues had a tendency to send the gold out of the country or not. The rules of banking are now so well understood, and the experience we possess has been so dearly paid for, that we think fathers are likely to teach them to their sons when destined for trade, if the old plan of learn ing one's business did not also revive with the good old habits, which we trust would be the case. No man, enjoying in this way his indefensible constitu tional right to make the best use he can of the credit he has earned by good conduct, could easily impose upon his neighbour, since it would by no means be necessary to make private issues a legal tender ; and, when each notes were issued, the issuer would be obliged to state in what he intended to pay them. Private bankers would probably. as hitherto, make them payable in Bank of England notes sr gold. In addition to this, there need be no reserve in making silver a legal tender for moderately-sized sums. Bank of England notes issued against the loan to the crown might be a legal tender also. To set this whole system going, which is nothing more than going back to what we were, there is little I legislation needed. The repeal of all restrictions, and the permission to issue small notes convertible into gold or Bank of England notes, would reinvigorate the shattered credit of the country at once. It would throw the demand for gold from the heart (where it is plainly mischievous) to the extremities, where it can do no harm. The branch banks will act wisely is re li nquishing their delegated trusts to the lo ml banks m the country, and these will act wisely in assuming, as speedily as convenient, the un pretending business-like exterior, and safe sphere of action, of the joint-stock banks of Scotland. The im portance of this subject at this highly critical moment will excuse our recurring to it soon. IT is impossible to read 'without the deepest con cern the murders perpetrated upon landlords in the county of Tipperary, and upon such landlords as Mr. ROE. That gentleman has resided on his pro perty during the late season of distress. He eeta bliahed a soup kitchen at his own expense for the poor of his neighbourhood. and hie sisters presided over the distribution. Both these ladies suffered under dangerous fever caught in their charitably tending the destitute. Mr. ROE was setting on foot large improvements of drainage, which would have offered increased means of employment for the labourer. A man held under him seven acres of land. Of these he only cultivated a small portion, allowing the rest to lie waste. He owed two years' rent. As a yearly tenant, he could not be dispossessed until two years had elapsed. The landlord then endeavoured to remove him,and made him the offer of foregoing his arrears, giving him 101., and the crop standing on the one acre cultivated. The tenant refused these offers, in consequence, say the magistrates, of a conspiracy into which all the tenants of the estate had entered not to pay arrears of rent. To attain this immunity, they met and debated whether the agent or the land lord should be sacrificed, for the murder of one was considered indispensable. According to Lord GLEN GALL, they decided on murdering the landlord, be cause, as his children were young ;the management of the estate would fall into the hands of the Court of Chancery, whose receivers would not be harsh, and would probably either remit arrears or grant reduc tion. Under these incentives, - and in consequence of this general understanding of the tenantry of the noto rious barony of Middlethird, Mr. ROE was shot. In another column will be found the letter of a gentle man residing near Cashel, with some details, and such information as was current in the country. It is impossible not to sympathise with the indignant and alarmed feelings of the magistrates and landlords of the county, who met at Cashel, and forwarded an address to the LORD LIEUTENANT. The sentiments expressed in this address are those of loyalty to the throne, attachment to the government, and full con fidence in the perfect understanding which Lord CLARENDO2.I is admitted to have of the state of the country, and is his zeal and unwearied exertion to improve the condition of the law and of the people. It is impossible not to admit the enormity of the griey anoe, being the utter insecurity of life. Yet what remedy, what means of security, can they propose to the LORD LIEUTENANT ? Absolutely nothing. They merely deprecate the possession of so many stand of fire-arms by the people. Of what airthly avail would it be to pass laws, and establish an inquisition, to prevent the possession of fire-arms by the peasantry ? If, indeed, the peasantry were bent on rebellion ; if they assembled and drilled, and if they meditated a rising in numbers, to oppose the military or wage open war ; then, indeed, it would be incumbent on government to disarm them. Bat of what use could such an enactment be to protect the life of a landlord against what is admitted to be a general conspiracy of the farming and tenant classes of his district? One gun sufficed fur this murder, and would suffice for any. Would not one gun be found in a whole region in despite of the most rigid perqui sitions and the most severe penalties? We might see some use in an arms bill against armed bands, or even in prevention of assaults by night upon houses ; but against the solitary assassin, the proscription of fire arms would fail. He would be sure to have the fat4l weapon at him disposal. Every aid that police or military force could give to the exertions of the magistrates of this criminal district should be bestowed, and every law accorded likely to enforce or produce permanent security. The legislature, however, has little faith in coercive mea sures; and even the magistrates themselves do not call aloud, as they would have done some years back, for such. Let us see if the recent records of the state of this very neighbourhood will not point to other modes of rendering the population more moral and tranquil. It seems generally admitted by the witnesses on Lord DEVON'S commission that leases had quite gone out of use in Tipperary, although that tenure was formerly granted. Three-fourths of the land are now held at will, the tenant being thus kept in a state of continual distrust and alarm. The landlords, too, act upon the most different prin ciple& Some allow tenant-right, some do not. At Nenagh, one district of Tipperary, accord ing to Mr. BAILEY'S evidence, tenant-right exists for land held by will, as for land held by lease, and very nearly " the fee simple is paid for the good will." At Cashel, on the contrary, tenant-right is allowed to leaseholders, not to tenants at will, the farming population having been reduced from the former to the latter condition. In Tipperary, too, although one gale of rent wu not paid till the other was due, even then the gale was paid by means of usurious loans raised in the neighbouring towns. It may be ima gined what effect the failure of the potato crop must have had on a population whose most prosperous times were passed in this way. A tenant might have been in two years' arrear of rent without any lack on his part of industry or honesty. Yet, under such circumstances to take his land, that is his only means of subsistence, whatever the right of the land lord to eject him, generates vindictive feeling, which, however criminal, can be understood. On the other hand, the landlord has not merely his usual incentives to get rid of an unproeperous tenant. He is, moreover, sore pressed, and never stood so much in need of drawing rent from his land. The poor law threatens him, and makes it no longer poeaible for him to leave an insolvent and non-paying tenant on his ground. He is told on one side to improve, on another forbidden to clear. And the landlord is thus frequently placed between hammer and anvil, between the stringent law and the refractory peasant, acting by turns one and the other for the helpless proprietor. Immense allowances ought to be made for both classes, for difficulties, for ristour, for exasperation. Never was a time in which all conditions of Irish, ex cept always the agitating and semi-seditious few, deserved more indulgence, or more consideration, and in which both landlord and tenant hate more reason to cry out for are getting through the present dreadful epoch of patience to be shown them , whilst th e y transition, and almost of social revolution. created neeted relations with China will be found in lamn7 In re port m o i f nu th te e s o c t m ec m id it e tee nce o w n h ° i 7 u .v. ... :i : it, will be found much to lighten the ' 4 " . w" . created by the recent failure of so many' 14, nected with the Chinese and East India .• • 10 1 3 moderate size were sold at our 1/. each over the rates of last year.
