Now we must not rely altogether upon the soil of Califor- I Wia to produce the gold or money, wherewith to purchase food, clothing, or other necessaries. The real truth is, by far the largest part of the gold sent to other countries, to top dy it. with necisseariee, was taken from the river bank., with comparatively little bulgur. There is gold still in thiwis banks, but they will never yield a. they bare yielded. The cream of the gulches, wherever water could be got, ha, aloe teen taken off. We have now the river bottoms and the quarts evict,; but to get the gold from them, we must employ gold. The man who lines upon his labour from day to day, must hereafter be employed by the man who has in his possession accumulated labour, or money, the repriosisntative of labour. The mines will utfurd heft. r wages to thousands, for years to come, thin can be made in any other country ; and they will create a good demand for food, clothing. and other product, of industry; but to beep the gold in the country, and become it great and prosperous people, we must live Min. within our own resourees. The true wealtit of a state can never exist in its riches of gold. This metal is our only article id export.

THE it1)111:ER IVA PIA1S11)% AT MAsciiESTER.—The wesmJ adpiiirnasent of the inquest on the nine persons killed in Bata-street, Manchester, by a boiler explosion, bc Mg till Saturday afternoon, the pioe, lines were thee, resumed. The prisaipal witm s • was Mr. W. e.E., who gave the following r. port in evi dence. lie visited the scene of the explosion on the Thursday following the event. The boiler was cylindrical in form, 91 feet ti inches long, 6 ff. 2 inches in diameter, and composed of plates 4-!tills id an inch thick. It had a flue of the .tine thickness of plates. 2 fret three hushes in dia meter, which pa--ed thrieigh it from end to end. The Hue was six ineher clear at the bottom, and the boiler hail two diagonal stays an inch and three-epiartirs square, flattened at the Vila and riveted to the bottom of the title. 'flw other extremities of the stays were attached to the Nat ends, Clllll - of three-0:0d) , * platys, which 1111.44 through tao pies aof angle iron by around pin. '1 he ends of the stays tivetted to the flue were flattened to receive the rivets, leaving a very small portion of metal between the edge of the ravet-hules and the ends of the stays, to resist any severe strain in the event of the aceumulatimi el high pr , e•itte 'team in the boiler. I have com puted the bursting pressure, assuming the flue to be oiver.al with water. at 11011 w. to the square inch taut, providing the ends had been properly stayed, it would Lave sustain, d a pressure of ro a.. to the square inch. The accident did not, however, arise so much from detec tive construction as from grow MillttlatliWlllllllt and igno mace of the inevitable cons“metsces which must arise from the state of the boiler at the time of the explosion, as indi cated by preftent appearances. On a careful eaamination rf the due and the lower parts of the Isider, there was every iailication of a deficiency of water having existed, and that a considerable porting of the upper parts of the Hue, and of the side . of the boil, r, had been red hot during an hour or two previous to the explosion. The fire must have been under the boiler from the time the engine stopped until the explosion took place, there being no escape for the steam. excepting only a defective safety-valve. The result must have been n gradual incense of pressure, and that, probably, without exciting the most distant suspicion on the part of the eugini ter that the boiler was in a dan gerous state. I fully believe that might have been the case, from my experience of engine-Lenten. I should call this reckless inattention on the part of the en gineer, assuming he hail knowledge of his business. but I know there are a vast number who have not. 'faking all the circumstances into consideration, I have no doubt of the came of this melancholy occurrence. I firmly believe the boiler was short of water, every outlet for the steam closed, the safety-valve probably fast, the Hue and upper sides of the boiler red-hot, highly elastic steam was generated until the balance of the resisting forces of the material was overcome, when an explosion must have ensued. If the stays had been better arranged that might have pre vented the accident had the engine started, because the boiler would have been relieved ; but supposing the engine not to start. no amount of staying could have prevented ex plosion ultimately. But that is supposing the plates of the boiler were nut hot. The blue appearance spoken of hy Reed confirms my opinion of the great elasticity at which the steam had arrived. Cross-examined by Mr. Bent, soli citor for the prisoner—There were only two stay-hands, and I think there should have been more. The occupation of 1 the engineer in a state of excitement through being engaged in packing the cylinder might excuse neglect at that time, but not for four or five hours before. By the coroner—l do not think blame attaches to the engineer alone, bat I think blame attaches to those who employ incapable engineers, and there is great blame to the engineer, who from recklessness neglects attending to the state of water in the boiler, and other ordinary precautions. Mr. John Higgins was the next witness called, but not making his appearance, the inquest was further adjourned to N% ed. ntwday neat. FATHER GAVAZZFS FOURTEENTH ORATION YESTERDAY AT THE PRINCESS'S CON- Y CERT HALL THE JF.SEITS (PART I.). The speaker began by referring to a letter he had received, professedly front a lady, m unexceptionable Italian, whereby the fair writer offered to renounce in his favour her share of paradise, provided he brought his lectures to a close by publicly apolo gising fi,r his attacks on the l'ope:dom. The father knew not where to address this enthusiastic catspaw of the Jesuits, but as doubtless their spies were in the crowded auditory—(loud cheers) —they might, perhaps, convey to their employers his scornful re jection of their overtures, and, at the same time, his disinclination to deprive the lady of her vested in terest in the abodes of bliss, a title hardly negotiable in this projected transfer and surrender. Ile had a great work before him, a nation to rescue, a degraded worship to purify, a foul aggregate of infernal um postures to di . mounce and demolish; to that [task he would gird up his loins and freely devote the energies of his life. (Acclamations.) Ihe attitude he assumed towards this order of mis- chievuns übiquity had its attendant annoyances and risks. But he had learned from the dauntless spirit of Paul to hazard every contingenc y in the champion , ship of truth, and trampled in the dust personal ap prehensions. lie came not to distort or to exagge rate. In the ranks of organised treachery were to be found unconscious agents and deluded dupes. These men were put forward as a musk. Arrayed ostensibly as members of the corporation, their indi vidual character and plausibility helped to disarm and to delude. Behind them lurked the plotter and the cheat, the foul type of sanctified intrigue, the bycwnrd for consecrated fraud in the vocabulary of mankind. At his approach the balance between good and evil, as far as the Whole body is invoked, ceases to be doubtful. False appearances kick the beam, and while the flimsy counterpuid is borne aloft, the deep-laden scale of duplicity descends. For such a man it were better for the church of God he pretends to serve that a milestone should be tied round his neck to sink him in the unfathomable sea. By what foul process was such a being fabricated? The cave of Manteau was the dark laboratory of this Spanish fanaticism ' and the "spiritual exercises" its fitting Almond A frightful phantasmagoria was conjured up around the votary of blind obedience, and the proudest attribute of the soul, free will, was forcibly eradicated. The man who entered came forth a machine. Home, friends, kindred, country, he knew thenceforth no more. A spy on his confederates, he is himself girt round by a gang of inbwiners. The heart that beats in a hunum bosom is dead to all further emotion. The mind has abdicated Its godlike functions. A dog with its chain and collar is scouted us an apt embodiment of his new condition by the exponents of the system. 'that implies vitality. A wuoden stock or a corpse, "bacnbui awl ordarer," is put forth us the dismal residuum precipitated by the alchemy of Loyola. The intoxicating hemp. by the fumes of which the " old Mall of the" Syrian "mountains" lulled the senses of his murderous emissaries ere 1w scut them Barth on his errands of assassination throughout Asia faintly foreshadowed this formidable agency of blind obedienee. Poverty and chastity were also vowed, but were held in theory and practice as mere aecoodury appendages to the first and distinctive badge of the tribe, unscrupulous execution of the superiors mandate; and the speaker entered into copious details us to their methods of acquiring wealth, and the sumptuous pulaces they contrived to appropriate in all the great towns of Europe; while he furnished not kits threible instanns of their laxity in point of month., drawn from notorious oveurreuees, such as at Monte Pulciano and Nlodena, in Italy ; Montpellier and Marseilles, in France. Ile exonerated their founder, Ignatius front the imputation of having planned in its subsequent form of hideous develop ment the full scheme of the society's ambitious °rya niwition, which lie traced to the Neapolitan Aquartva, during whose generalship of the order the crafty prin ciples of 3lmehiavellian policy were engrafted on the original stock of stupid but energetic fanaticism. Their influence on European cubiucts, and the pernitious working of their obstructive and retrograde industry throughout the world he would reserve for separate animadversion : making but u brief allusion to a kind of prophecy still treasured up among the traditions of the Order, "We entered Europe us lambs, became formidable as wolves, were chased away like dogs, but our youth shall be renewed like that of the eagle." Aye, from Venice, from Portugal, from Spain, France, and Germany, the hell hounds were driven out umid the jubilee of mankind ; but it deplorably true that their society reappears under the et/gide:ince of an eagle, the tyrannous, two necked, and ill °tweed emblem that darkens our land with its disnatrous shadow, until the avenging arm of the people shall be finally put forth to crush the obscene pheimmenon, and bury in one ..rave the Car nivorous bird with the purveyors of its carrion. (('her..) Thus fur the orator seemed but to prelude by a few prel• • y touches on the general argument which he now divided into two branches ; the order considered as auxiliary to the popes individually, and next, as subsidiary to the general interests of the church; to both which parties he undertook to show it had proved a bitter bad bargain. The original compact lwtwecit this corps of banded junissaries and the father of the faithful, involved pretty touch the game dependeney as the Pretorian guards imposed on their nominal musters in the decline of imperial home; the pontiffs encall to be free agents ; became a puppet in the hands of these, its upholders and satellites to the constant and ludicrous anuoyunee of its ostensible poasessor. In the great controversy about divine grace, Clement VIII. had the hardihood to question the theories of the Jesuit Milani, and showed a leaning towards the old doctrines of the I hind ii i tttttt Aquinas ; au hide pendenee unfavourable to limovity as far as his holi ness was concerned, he having died notoriously " isel adore di rch , n"." Ilisrepugeance to canonise Fathers I Garnet and Mown for their share in the powder plot was doubtless intolerable. when hi, predecessor I hail sung Tr herrms for the kindred pet formance of St. Bartholomew. The urgency with which the order down to this day clamours for the canonisation of Bellurtaine and for the public recognition of his ultramontane creed is felt to be a perpetual nuisance ; in the case of the venerable l'alafox, their veto was found suffi cient to invalidate the acknowledged sanctity of au adversary. In all the minor details of church govern ment. th . eir pressure is felt, and their ill-diasembled omnitence exhibited. As for services done the church, the scandals and odium they had brought on Christianity vastly outweighed and 'fearfully counter balanced any merits of that kind, to illustrate which the Jesuit confessors of kings were paraded in ghastly deformity before the moral sense of the audi tory; •]'arc La Chaiae, Mx. Lets:Hier, and other pan derers to royal profligacy in every Eurotwan court. In the foul detainment of vaauistry they held no un enviable eminence, Escobar, Busembaum, and a host of similar scribes, laboured to mystify the plainest precepta of morality ; while the prurient Senates had rebind three folios on matrimony of such revolting Indecency as to be publicly burnt by the common hangman in France pursuant to a decree of the Parisian parliaments. Dissimulation, perfidy, and falsehood were the familiar instrumentalities resorted to in their championship of Roman catholic as cendancy, and their devottinal inventions, into which the father entered at considerable length, were de rogatoty to the Redeemer and the great work of his atonement. For two hours he continued to accumu late facts and draw inference* illustrutive of the mis chief traceable to this fatal institution, and though the ground he went over has been frequently trod den. old arguments appeared fresh, trite statements were clothed in such novelty and force of diction as to keep the assembly in breathless attention to the close. MuTINT.—On the Ist of August last the merchant schooner Secret, Captain Jamieson, was at anchor in line heanina Bay, New Georgian Group, when four of the crew mutinied, and joining the natives who were on board, took possession of the schooner, which they kept for upwards of an hour. The captain and mate were m the cabin, and by keeping up a regu lar fire through the skylights they killed the native chief, and succeeded in clearing the deck of the mutineers and their allies, who jumped overboard and swam ashore. The captain and mate now went on deck, and found that two of the crew were killed, and one severely wounded. Captain Jamieson then slipped his cable and stood out to sea, followed t 7 the canoes of the natives, who, on the fol lowing day (betngstill in sight of land), attempted to bo ,rd, but were prevented by the steady fire front the schooner. The loss of the natives is not known, but is supposed to hen been severe.—Sautical Standard. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1851.

The calender at present contains the names of 2:23 persons ! for trial at this session. The Recorder, after the grand jury had been sworn, said that although the number of prisoners for trial on the pre sent occasion was larger than usual, he was happy to inform them that, with two or three exceptions only, ail the CaSCA were of the ordinary description ; and he therefore felt it unnecessary to detain them from their duties by making any lengthened observations. Ilia lordship then referred to a charge of child murder, where he said it appeared to him that the principal point for emisid, ration by the grand jury was whether the child was burn alive; and it' thot fact should be proved to their satisfaction, it would be their duty to find a bill. The learned Recorder next called the attention of the jury to one or two other cases, and the grand jury then retired.

REPRESENTATION OF THE AP- PlOW:111:40 ELECTION.—During the past week, the great topic of conversation in Plymouth has been as to who is to .uveeed Mr. Roundel' Palmer as a member for the borough. Divers have been the opinions ventured, and many names have paused from tormue to tongne as that of the person to be honoured with beint selected representative. It appears t be assumed, without question, that Viscount Ebnngton will again be a candidate and again elected, and it is seem ingly acquiesced in by all partic=, that Mr. Roundel' Pal mer, Übe again offers not be elected. A section of the constituency have made overtures to Mr. Robert Parrett Collier, banister of the western circuit. a native and resident of Plymouth, and the ton of the late John Collier. Esq., who for many years represented the borough on the liberal interest, ::nl it is understood that Mr. Collier has given his conditional consent to contest an election. His views are liberal, beyond the type of the Russell cabinet, but manypersons who agree in his political opinions, and think he has some claims upon the town as the son of their late mem ber, and as a townsman, object on th=e ground of his being a ! lawyer, and therellire likely to pre far place to an indepen , deat representation : and these say they would rather that Mr. George William Sultan, a gentleman int. rested in the commercial prosperity of the port, and resident in the neighbourhood, should be the member. Others again think the best person to represent the borough would be some . gentleman connected with the mercantile interests of the country, and especially with shipping and with steam min , gation ; and amongst them Mr. Wigram Crawford is confi dently spoken of. Mr. Crawford was but lately defeated at Harwich, and is a free trader and a liberal. REPRESENTATION OF OXFORDsIIIRE.—At a meet !, big of the Oxfordshire Protection Society, held at the Star • Inn, Oxford, on Saturday, and which was well attended, it . I was fully resolved to oppose the return of Mr. Harcourt and t Lord None!. at the next general election. The names of the Marquis of blandford, M.P. Sir Henry Willoughby, Bart., M.P. for Evesham, and Mr:Stone, of Streatly, a barrister of • some eminence and a large landed proprietor of the county, , were mentioned. Mr. Harcourt has signified leis intention to his agent at Oxford that be ham's, at the mat general e election, to otter himself again for;the county, and there is but little doubt that Lord Sorrel's will also be a candidate. PARLIAMENTARY COMNIITTEES. ST. ALBANS ELECTION COMMITTEE. On Saturday the members of this committee re assembled ; Mr. E. Ellice, chairman ; Hon. T. Charter's, Sir U. Hull, Mr. Stuart, and Mr. Adair. James Puygndestre, officer of the House of Commons, examined, said that on Friday, Oa leaving the house at the direction of the committee, in company with the witness, Elizabeth Edwards, he took a cab direct for Cottage place, Limehouse, in search of Waggett, the missing wit ness. On arriving them, he ascertained from Mrs. Jones, the landlady, who was in a very agitated state, that just ten minutes before, some person or persons had been there, and hurriedly taken Waggett off in a cub. They told her she was inn great all - v, and was liable to two years' imprison ment for having kept Waggett there. The pour woman was in a dreadful state of agitation. (Laughter.) Charlotte Jones examined.—Lived ut 4, Cottage-place, Limehouse. Mrs. Edwards, about a week ago, came and took a room at her place for herself and Waggett, her brother-in-law. Hayward and Edwards, who she under atom' were lawyers, used to come there ; and Waggett gave 'extractions that he would see them, but not any one else. On reading in the Times of Monday last the reward for the " abducted " witnesses, she said to Waggett—" You seem agitated;" to which he replied—" ma'mn, it is a law-suit I am upon, and I do not WWI to appear against the party, fur I must speak the truth, and I wish to keep away." On noticing the advertisement in the Times, in which the MOW of Waggett appeared as one of the absconded witnesses, she said to Waggett--" This mint be you, sir ;" to which Waggett replied— " Yes, it is me, but it's all over at 12 o'clock— it's all done and void." Ile said if any one came, except Edwards and Hayward, she was to tell them he was not there. Hayward came on Wednesday, and said he wanted to see Waggett, when Mrs. Edwards said to witness, " Do nut let that blackguard come into the house: he only wants to decoy the poor old sout(ineaning Waggett) away." Clain which witness said, "Oh dear, you put me in quite a fright ; I wish I'd never seen you.' Immedi ately after this, Waggett rushed up stairs, passed witness, who was in a state of bewilderment, saying. " So help me God, if Edwards doesn't come, I will go to the House of Commons to.morrow morning, and give myself' up, and speak the truth." Was so agitated ever share, that she did not know how the week had gone. (Laughter.) On the Thursday evening, Edwards and Hayward called, and Mrs. Edwards told witness, while they were all inside the room, to stand outside and listen. ''card the lawyerstalk together, and one said to the other, " Are you going to give Waggett the money ?" to which Hayward replied, " Yes, I'vegot it all ready, and they gave Waggett mmwy, utter which they all appeared to he comfortable together. The lawyers then left. She heard something about 9f., or 90f. On Friday afternoon last Hayward came to her house, shockingly agitated, htweeen 3 and 4 o'clock, and said " Wamtt must be oft' directly. Hate you got a haek-duor • can he get away over one of the neighbour's nails ? fur God's sake do; that woman Edwards his *Ail him, and you will be liable for two years' transportation if you let him remain here." l: pore which witness exclaimed, " Lack-astlaisy me, I ion as innocent as the halw fawn, and didn't know that he was in the Me omt ery, nor nothing about it till she nail it in the Times." Hayward rushed up to Waggett, who had gone to get something out of his caret-bag, and witness and all of them got into a cab that was waiting for them outside. After driving about n quarterof a mile, witness got out, and Hayward seemed looking about him all ways at once. (Laughter.) Witness said, " What is the matter ; is the poor man condemned ?" On which the cabman seemed agitated. Witness observed to her daughter, who was with her, that the man looked very much like a munlerer, his agitation was so shocking ; so much so that the effect of it caused witness to stagger against the wall. (Laughter.) The cab, which she thought was 168:1---at any rate there was an N in it —(laughter), . drove iilf in a nipid manlier. When witness got honte she found Mrs. Edwards and the officer of the house who had come to take Waggett into custody. The Committee here ordered that Edwards should be called in to be identified by the witness, us this was a seri ous contempt of the orders of the house. Witness then identified Edwards—to the best of her be lief that was the man and the make of him. (Laughter.) Henry Hayward, who Was stated to have been in the gallery of the house the day before, and on whom a war rant had been served, was here called fur: there was no answer to the summons. Elizabeth Edwards, examined at considerable length,eor roborated portions of the evidence given by the previous witness, and deposed to having heard the sound of money being counted on the occasion. Hayward gave Mrs. Jones a sovereign. Had heanl Waggett say, "If I don't receive 11W. 1 will go away," and heard the rattling of money. The committee then had Edwards called in, and told him that they won't' require his attendance front day to day. They would not decide what they intended to do with re ference to the case of Waggett, but intended to keep it alive. James Biwa, bricklayer, of St. Albans, swore that he had never told Mr. Bennett that he had received 5/., or any money iior voting or not voting. Ilennett, builder, of St.Albana, was then called. Mr. serjeant liinglakto and Mr. James, Q.C., contended at length, on behalf of the sitting member, that Mr. Bennett could not be extuninial on this subject, on the ground that he was one of the petitioners liable fur the costs of the pro ceedings, and, consequently, an interested party. The Commissioner overruled the objection. The witness was then re-ralled.—Swore that on the nomi nation day James Bigg (who on the day previous had sworn 4 or II times to the contrary), had told him that he had re ceived 51. in consideration of his vote. Bigg was one of his workmen. Thomas Brandon, bricklayer, St. Albans, one of the ab scowled witnesses, said lie did not know be was to come there until he had seen it in the noowspapers, which he could not read. (Laughter.) Went to the house in Chequer-street, but saw no money on the table, and had voted tory all his life. (Laughter.) Was in the employ of Mr. Russell, builder, of St. Albans. Dropped four sovereigns out of his pocket the night alter he had seen Edwards, in the presence of Mary Rees, Mr. Russell's housekeeper. Witness's wages were 12s. 6d. per week. The money fell from his pocket, but he did not kuuw how it fell in. (Laughter.) Vol not recollect giving the waiter at the White hart a sovereign instead of a shilling. Wits very tipsy at the time. The money he had was the produce of the sale of some pigs he had brought up—(laughter)—and of some fruit front a garden be rented. 'look this money out of his drawer to have a little bit of a spree during the election. (Laughter.) There were a great many peemle drinking at the White Hart, and hallooing out about election money. If witness said anything about election money, he was drunk, and, of course, did not know what he said. (Laughter.) Mary Bees, housekeeper to Mr. Russell, deposed to Bran don, v:lbroin she had never seen with so much money before, displaying four sovereigns. It was a matter of no toriety at the last election that money was given for votes. John Hawes, waiter at the White Hart, deloused to Brandon having given him a sovereign instead of a shilling. William Lynes, in the service of Lord Verulam, at Gm hionburv, another of the ..abducted" witnesses, examined: depoworto his having been taken, as given in previous evi dence, by two strangers to Watford, het Tuesday week, on his way to attend before the committee, and to the circum stance of Edwards and Blagg having come and taken him back to St. Albans. Would not swear that either of them came into the room. He did not go on to London because he did not like the strangers On getting to St. Albans went to "The George," and was locked up there fur a week, having his meals brought hint. Blagg and Edwards gave the orders for him to stop there. Was let loose to come up to Landon on Thursday. Caine up with Blagg, and a lot of them went is • cab to Eendall's Hotel. Could not say if his wife was there (laughter), or whether there were three, or four, or five, in the fly. (The witness throughout Rave his evidence with great hesitation and nonsensical gesticula tion, and there appeared to be no diminution of it upon repeated cautions from the committee and counsel.) The Chairman rising, said—We'd better give this wit ness, who has prevaricated so much, into the custody of the Serjeant-atsArms, and adjourn to Monday. Officer, take him into custody. (Sensation.) Mr. James—He is a respectable man in the service of Lord Verulam. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham—Wc have seen something of his respectability. (Laughter.) Sir 13.11a1l —AN e know he is in the service of Lord Verulam, but we only know hint here as a witness to speak the truth upon oath without prevarication, and, if we are not satisfied with the way in which he gives his evidence, our only re- CHARGE.

Mr. James—Does not the committee think another cau tion to the witness would be enough ? The Chairman—No. We decide that the witness remain in custody until Monday. Mr. James—We now apply for a ropy of the committee warrant of committal to enable us to obtain a habeas corpus this afternoon ut judges' chambers. The Chairman—Oa what do you found your application ? I am not obliged to give you a copy. Mr. James—There is nothing to oblige you, but you will be obliged to make a return to the writ of habeas corpus.

TIIE SITUATION OF STIPENDIARY MAGIsTRATE AT Ltvtaroot. is vacant by the death of Mr. Edward Rushton, wbo has filled that office since 11439, and who, previous to that time, was known as a very active politician during the liberal struggles of previous years. 3lr. Itusliton's salary was 1,6001. • year; but it is understood that the Borough Council of Liverpool, which possesse s by the act the power of settling the number of justices as well as the salaries paid to those officers, will recommend the appointment of two justices instead of one, whose united salaries will be ! 2,9001. a year. This would certainly be an improvement. The borough property is large, and the council pas- SOWS ample funds, which could not be better employed than in applying an additional ON. per annum to the more effective admine.tration of justice. The business of the police court is too much for any one man, and it was with great difficulty that Mr. Rushton was able to keep it down, with all his indomitable energy and his great local knowledge of the place of which lie was a native. We would be glad to see the system of stipendiary magistrates —men learned in the law, and free from local prejudice and influences—exteudcd throughout the other great towns, and in time even throughout the country. Amongst other advantages, they are known to exercise a most useful and salutary control over the police, which is seldom obtained by the local magistracy.—Obsercer. MOORFIELDS IN CHARLES lI.'S TIME.—" The New Help to Discourse," published about 1670, says Two gentlemen of Stepney going homewards over Moorfields, about twelve o'clock at night, were staid by an impertinent constable with many frivolous questions, more by half to show his office than his wit; one whereof was, If the were not afraid to go home at that time of the night ?' They answered No. • Well,' said he, ' I shall let you pass at this time ; but if you should be knockt on the head before you get home, you cannot but report that there was a good watch kept in Muothelils.' "—Notes and Queries. IRELAND. DrELIN, SATVEDAY EVENING. Mr. Serjeant Shea has declined the proffered h. nour of a seat for Longford, and the liberal electors of that county are at this moment in a desperate fix'' for a candidate. The difficulty in which they are placed is the more provoking as the election will commence before the close of next week, and at pre sent I believe they arc unable to select any suitable person for the purpose. Mr. Serjeant Sheit's excuse, I undendand, was private arrangements which inter fered, although it was very generally understood that he wished to have a seat in parliament. The friends of Mr. John O'Connell in Limerick have succeeded, after repented efforts, in getting the vote of censure passed against him by the corpora tion rescinded. The emigration from all parts of the country is proceeding at a most rapid rite. One of the provin cial papers of this day, the Drogheda Argos, states as an instance of its progress that ten carts laden with emigrants passed the office door in one day this week. and that a thousand lemons had emigrated from a single property in the comity of Monaghan. The Liverpool steamer which sailed yesterday from Waterford had what is described an a •• monster freight" of emigrants for America; and another steamer carried off nearly 200 emigrants from the same port on Tuesday last. The Banner ,!,* Ulster states that a cross erected as an architectural decoration on a new church at Reif:lst was pulled down before the workmen had arrived on Wednesday morning The council of the 'lrish tenant league have been inviting Mr. John Stuart Mill, the eminent writer on political ceotomy, to allow himself to he put in nomination for an Irish county on tenant-right principles. Mr. Mill has replied in a letter, dated . " India House, March 24. amid after acknowledging in flattering terms the honour which the proposition conferred on him, states that a seat in parliament would be considered incompatible with his office in the India House. _ _ Alderman Rooney and Dr. Canaan apivared yes terday before the nmgistrates to answer a complaint for forging voting papers for the election of poor law guardians. The ease of Alderman Rooney only was entered into, and although it would appear that some voting papers were really filled up on the occasion in question without the ColltillTellee of the parties whose names were affixed to them, still the magis trates being of opinion that there was no legal fraud in the matter, the charge was dismis-ed. The proposed new valuation of Ireland has become a subject of general discussion. All parties agree that it is very much mquimd ; and, in fact, t in pro posing it the government would only WON o have yielded to the necessity which the facts every day elicited in the Encumbered Estates Court had shown to exist ; but wane clauses in the new bill are almost universally objected to. This is especially the (11.413 with the averages of market prices proposed to la fixed as a staudanl for the new valuation, which all admit would be much too high under the altered state of things. Them are also complaints against the machinery of the bill. ...... Some satisfactory accounts of the spring agricul tural work me begriming to reach u, from the coutt- try.
