U Irish benevo- lence needs encouragement, English charity must be warned against attempts to check its freedom by complaints that every penny given to the poor there is withdrawn from the poor hem. Government has taken steps as prudent as fore sight can devise, and as complete as human means can compass, for strengthening the hands of local charity ; while at the seine time it provides for a repayment of all pecuniary advances much more effectual than a return of the mousy to the Treasury, in the eevelopment of Irish resources, and in the planting, amidstthe present desolation, seeds of last ing good for the future. Following the present article in our journal of to day, will be found the copy of a Treasury Minute dated yesterday, embodying revised instructions for the Board of Works and the Commissary- General, with recommendations urged on the Relief Committees.

PILODUCE. The Duke of Glucksberg, First Secretary of the French Embassy, arrived at Madrid on the 24th of August. He is said to have been the bearer of im portant despatches to M. Breason, on the meet of the Queen's marriage ; and, according to retart, tlrs French Government are now satisfied with didalikillet that the marriage of the Queen's sister, tho Infants Luisa Fernanda, should take place simultaneously with that of the Queen herself with Don Frostiest Some time since an understanding was supposed to have been comp to between the English and French Governments, to the effect that, in case of the mar- 1 riage of the Infanta with a French prince, seek mar riage should not take place until the Queen had ism; in ceder, no doubt, to diminish, as mu& is possible, the chance of his sharing the crows of SOB in case of the demise of the Queen. It is to be pre sumed that if such be really the tenor of the Duke of Gluckberg's despatches, the British Government will not make any change in the arrangement just referred to. 111INCINO-LiNe., SEPrllYnlta I.—SUGAIL—The market opened to-day with a very dull appearance ; the ' large operations of lint week, and the decline in ywices sub mitted to on Friday, made the trade very cautious, and a eery small amount of business in W.

Of shuY.P"b S S at aflame, CAPTAIN RICHARDSON'S CASE. The extraordinary case of Captain Itichardson, who is charged with an extensive forgery on Messrs. Coon's', bank, has been this day under investigation at the Mansion. house. Captain Richardson was some time since in the East India Company's service, and subsequently resided in Char. lotte-street, Bedford-square. He has been connected with a vast number of companies (especially railroad companies) both as a provisional committeeman and an allottee, and is reported to have speculated to an enormous extent. He was not only chairman of the Tenby,Worecster, and Ludlow Rail wny,butbe was deputy-chairman of another railway compeny, and director of a great many, amongst which were the Wex ford, Valenti..., and Waterford, and the Harwich and Eastern Counties Rahway Company, and it is confidently believed that if parliament had been dissolved he would have come in for the representation of Harwich, with the assistance of Mr. Attwood, who had the highest respect fur him. Indeed, no man connected with the heavy speculations of last year could reckon amongst his friends a more substantial commercial man. The examination of Captain Richardson commenced this day at 2 o'cice:k. Messrs. Bush and Mullen. appeared for the pteeccution, and Mr. Woolfe, from the office of Mr. Flower, for the defence. On the case being opened, Mr. Bush stated the circumstances connected with the autho rising of the cheque by the Board, as gathered from the minutes of the company; and said that he would now: trace the proceedings of the prisoner. Robert Hare examined : Was clerk and cashier to Messrs. Celan'. On the 20th of July paid that cheque (pointing to it) for 6,000/. in five notes of 1,000!. each The numbers were 96,087, 96,091, 96,002, 96,093, and 90,091; and the dates of each the 13th of February. Could not identify the person to whom he paid the notes. The money was paid to the account of William Richardson, William Lechmere Whitmore, John Williams, Thomas Stephenson, and Henry Whittall. Knew the handwriting of all the parties. Bleu cheque was required to be signed by three persons, of whom the prisoner must be one. The principal partner of the house of Coutts and Co. was Edward Mejoribunks. [The witness was then referred to the original order by which the payment of the cheque of the company was authorised. Did not know the prisoner per sonally at the time when the account with the bank was opened. Cross-examined b: Mr. Wolfe. The account was opened in April of the present year. He cashed the cheque unhesi tatingly, because he bad cashed similar ones before. Did not remember acing the prisoner until last Saturday. The account was a capital one, and a there was still a balance eight or nine hundred pounds bed onging to the company William Pulsford examined: Had been secretary to the Worcester, Tenbury, and Ludlow Railway Company ever since its formation. The offices of the company were at 5, New Palace-yard, Westminster. A meeting of the directors was held on the 7th of July last. (The witness here referred to the minute book of the board.) The minute of July 7 contained a correct account of the proceedings of the board on that day. It was verified by the signature of the Chairman and the Directors present. Found an entry in the cheque-book in Captain Richardson's hand-writin g . The book had been in his possession from the 7th of July till within the last week, when it was given up to the solicitor. (The witness referred to an entry in the minute which speke of • cheque for 101. to be given to Mr. Howell's messenger, for his ser vices. The signature "W. It." was in the margin.] After wards receisid a cheque for 101. from Capt. Richardson, dated the 7th of July, and signed only by Capt. Richardson. ' The figures at the corner were also for 101. ; he was quite sure of that. On being shown a cheque for 6,0001., witness said it was identical with the former one referred to, with the difference of "5,0031. " instead of " 101." being written upon it. Was asked by Cspthin Richardson to obtain two other signatures. There were three cheques, one for 1001., one for 201., and one for 101., which were enclosed to Mr. Whitmore for his signature. There wee an alteration in dite—a figure " 1" being put before the " 7," in he cheque for 15,0001. There was no "1" in the original cheque.

The papers from the former place, of which three numbers of the Contereio del Plata, of the B'b, 9th, and 10th of June, appear only to have been received, strangely coolish contain not the slightest allusion to the two successes which, accord iog to private letters from thence in a morning paper to the 7th of June, had been achieved over the troops of Rom, at Las Vivoras and near Salto, by Rivera and Garibaldi, com manding different bodies of the Oriental forces. There can, however, be little doubt of the fact that the two actions had hesofaught, and not improbably with the results stated, 011111110 when the version of the affairs comes from Buenos Visit is likely emenfrh that another colour will be given dom.

The second decree announces that the executive ;Power is authorised to negotiate a loan for five millions of hard dollars, either within the republic. or abroad, to be secured upon one-half the custom-home duties, commencing from the Ist of Ja nuary, 1849, until which period it would appear they stand hypothecated to the foreign loan company of that place for sums already advanced. In order to promote the success of this operation, the government proposes to grant exclusive privileges for the importation of tobacco both in leaf and manufactured, in the same manner as by decree of 1814, similar privileges were conceded for the import of salt and coal. The advices by this aerie.' give some farther particulars about the return of the " great con voy," consisting of 110 sail, from the Parana. It is stated that on making the pass by the batteries of San Lorenzo four merchant vessels were .o damaged by the fire, as cithrr to have been sunk or burnt. One oily of these was British, the brig Caledonia; the other three Correntino schooners. According to the-c papers it was certain that the troops of Paraguay had retired from Corrientes, and General Pu also, with all the Argentine officers under him, had been compelled to leave that province, the Governor of wh , ch, Madsriaga, bad come to terms with Urgings who commanded for Roses in Entre Rio. against him. Iu order better to provide for the security of Monte Video, in the absence of the forces detached for service clong the coast and in the interior, the government had decreed the formation of a corps to he comyeeed of all the citizens exempted from active service, to he called and toad as a " public security " force, under the direction of the chief of the police. On the 7th of June a meeting of the mercantile commu nity was ellled, at which the Ministers of France and Lag land were present, as well as members of the government, to consult about the best means fur raising a supply of money. The merchants were appealed to for assistance, but, excepting one, all declined, pleieling the utter exhaustion of their circumstances from the effects of the wan. Subsequently, however, another more private meeting took place, in which arrangements were entered into for supplying the govern ment with 30,000 dollars per month for a limited time, on security of the Custom-house revenues for 1843 and 1660, under the " diplomatic guarantee " of Mee:es. Ours ley and Diffendis, the French and 3nglieh ministers. What the " diplomatic guarantee" meant, or how it was to be con strued, was a mystery with the merchants. Exchange on Eneland was 461 at the latest date. The British Packet, of Buenos Ayres, announce, that a detachment of Monte Videan troops, which had been sent from Salto to collect cattle, had bees met and cut to pieces by Colonel Lames, only eight men escaping. This is the same encounter alluded to above, in which the victory was claimed for Garribaldi and the Monte Videans. Such are the conflicting statements of the contending parties. The Packet gives some curious particulars of the revolutioe at I Corrientes, which ended in the expulsion of Paz cud kin adherents, who had taken refuge in Paraguay, and the triumph of Madariaga over him and some members of the Correntino Congress who had sided and fled with him.

It is probable that the spirit of specu lation, rather wildly manifested of late in the foreign market may have caused some uneasiness in sober thinking moneyed quarters as to the result, if not discouraged by a more licrupulous dispensation of money accom modation, without the easiness of which speculative opera tions cannot be long carried on upon a scale of any particular magnitude. Money is in effect rather more ddiacult to-day in the Stock-market already, whilst there is no greater dis. position of unemployed capital to flow into the funds than has been remarked for some time past. The prices are considered to be too high by the public, compared with the larger edsu of interest to be readily obtained upon other nnex tionable securities. There is no change in prices to notice, to-day, the principal feature being the absence of ballades. The last quotations will be found below. The Mexican fever appears to be somewhat abating in the foreign house. The rapid advance during the last two or three days may probably have thrown the speculators off their guard, and an ied them further than otherwise, more pratingly they would have hesitated to venture. It is membered that a very considerable amount of bonds arising out of the late conversion are held for, and to be dis peenief, on account of the Mexican Government.

Without meaning to cavil at the relief measures of the late government, we only repeat a general im pression when we say, that much mischief was mixed up with the good resulting from them. •In their immediate purpose of staving aff famine, they were eminently successful. That, more permanent benefit has not flowed, nor is likely to flow, from the public works carried on ander sanction and by aid of their provisions, is not attributable to the Ministry. They erred only in not forming a sufficiently low estimate of the bulk of Irish landlords. They believed that in the wail of almost universal starvation, the voice of private interest would be unheard. They expected that such a visitation would have startled selfishness into originating the future prosperity of a nation, while it relieved the sufferings of a tenantry. They were mistaken. Where they looked for an eagerness to feed the hungry, they found a greedy emulation for share in the grant." They calculated on patriotism, and were encountered by jobbery. In less than 'three months they had applications for trea sury aid to an aggregate amount of 737,4481., awe isprysed to considerably upwards of a mil- Ok i these the Twat; - swanned , awes ta, ImVisT or/141,1%81r. Bow fur their applications were created by the distress, or had in view the re lieving of it, is sufficiently indicated by the fact that the applications which used to be made in great num bers to the Board of Works for the construction of roads, and other smiler undertakings, on the ordinary and less advantageous footing of loans secured by grand jury presentments, have almost entirely ceased. The cause is not far to seek. In the latter case, Go vernment only lent the money required; in that of works undertaken ostensibly fur relief under the act , of last year, half of the money was a loan, the other half a grant. As if to aggravate the mischief, any two magistrates and three cess payers of any barony might at once make appli cation, under the latter act, for the execution of public works to the Lord-Lieutenant, without that control of the representatives of the other rate payers which is exercised in grand jury present ments. The jobbers have at least, in the latter cam, a check on each other. In the former, any two at them had only to agree in order to job on a joint account There is, in short, reason to fear that a great pro portion of the money advanced, either as loan or grant, by the Treasury, under the relief measures of the late Ministry, has been absorbed in the execution of works which should have taxed private pockets, as they chiefly benefited private interests. In most of these cases, no adequate test of destitution has been applied, notwithstanding all care on the part of the Board of Works in superintending the execution of the works themselves. Another relief-measure of the late Government was the second act of the session which empowered grand juries to consider and put into operation, works laid before them by Extraordinary Baronial Presentment Sessions; the whole of the money advanced to be paid by the baro nies. The nature of these works was, however, limited to such as were not likely to be called for, ex cept for relief purposes. Thus two mischiefs of the first act were avoided. But even in this less objec tionable measure, there was no machinery provided for saperintending the execution of the works ap proved. To avoid these double mischiefs, the Government, by its present bill, throws the initiatory step of assembling Baronial Relief Services on the Lord- Lieutenant, guided by the accurate local information which he has of course the best means of procuring. The nature of relief works is restricted to matters of public, not private, interest. And abuse is most effectually restrained by the provision that the Government shall advance money for such works by way of loan only, to be repaid recording to the poor-rate assessment It was at first proposed, we believe, that a number of cheeks and limitations should have been thrown around the works thus under taken ; but the main check having been established of requiring from the districts. re-payment of the whole of the cost of the relief works, a considerable latitude will now, we understand, be allowed as to the description of works to be undertakeln ; which I (with the restriction before noted, that their advan tages are to be of a public nature) will be left very much to the choice of the parties who have to pay for them. The measure as it stands in this respect secures two important ends. It renders tha ap plication for these loans improbable in all cases where sheer necessity for employment of the poor does not exist ; and it throws the burden of repay ments where it ought to fall, on the owners and not the occupiers of the soil. It compels the landlord to discharge at least some of his arrears of duty.

The derangement thee canoed • to the regular trade ha, been sufficiently pointed out. ' Warned by this, their successors have determined to I , confine their commissesiat functions to the narrowest ! l i possible limits ; while yet they do not exclude them selves from furnishing food where no regular chan nels exist for the purpose. The ports on the northern, eastern, and southern coasts, from Cork to Londonderry, gad those parts of the interior ordina rily supplied Gum them, may, they state, be safely :fi left to the tortvight end enterprise of private merchants. • ' . 1 4 . They confine themselves, accordingly, to protecting the a stocks of private dealers, in transit and is store ; and t they concentrate the existing supplies of goverment t grain at Longford and &nigher, in the interior, and s at Limerick, Galway, Westport, and Sligo, on the A e / western coast, where the moans of private supply are . scanty and irregular, and the dangers of starvation / .; T., meet imminent. For other proviions to avoid '' alt mischievous interference with regular trade, to regulate the time of opening the depots, and to settle the price at which the grain is to be sold, we refer our readers to the Treasury minute. The organisation of the commissariat will be so improved that it can effectually communicate with the local relief committees; and, through them, afford all necessary information to the government. The Board of Works, we may add, has beet strengthened by the appointment of' new commis sioners. The chairman and deputy chairman remain as before ; the three new commissioners, we believe, arc Mr. RADCLIFF, Mr. MULVANEY, sad Captain LARCOM. Every step has been at the same 61110 taken to secure a thorough efficiency in the several ' departments of the board, from the highest to the lowest of the officials engaged upon it. We have been thus explicit in our explanation of thesegoverainent measures formeeting a terrible emer gency, not leas from our admiration o their excellent adaptation to the end proposesi,and their freedom from the defects which impaired those of the lute adminis tration, than from a sense of the importance of the present crisis to the future of Ireland. This it appears to us impossible to overestimate. Instead of a prospect of permanent pauperism for Ireland, in the calamity which now presses upon , her (and which has not left her six weeks' IP resources of her ordinary food throughout tfte I: length and breadth of the land), we seem to foresee her ; redemption from that very misery. Ireland has been permanently pauper hitherto. If not dependent on . 3 us for annual supplies of grain and doles of money, she has sent over yearly her erratic and superfluous labour to carry home English capital, abstracted from eager English industry. All the expenditure required for constabulary force and stipendiary magistrates, is so much indirect parish payment. Every tax which England pays, and Ireland is exempt from, is so much contributed to the relief of Irish wretchedness. The radical cause of Irish poverty is to be sought in the cottier's depend ence on the con-acre. The potato was the symbol of that dependence. The peasant remains an aderiptus glebm, a villein regardant, so long as his sole hope and support rest ou that root. lf, by well-con trived public works, new fields of employment be created, and the peasant be taught to substitute labour for hire for labour for rert ; if, at the same time, _ , education be diffused, and political rights ecTicelized ; if the burden on the landlord be proportioned to his neglect or discharge of his duties ; if leases increase as ejectments diminish ; who shall say how much blessing may have sprung from the potato-blight ? At the present moment, moreover, Ireland requires proof that an English Imperial Parliament can legis late for her interests, soundly as well as sympatheti cally. In the measures now about to be carried into effect, we see not the seeds of future pauperism ; not the unjust appropriation of our child ens breed to aliens ;—but springs of kindly feeling from the governed towards their governor; a stronger argu ment for Union than Conciliation-hall or Nation can furnish against it, even to Irish apprehensions ; a sweetener to bitter recollections of the past, and a guarantee of good intentions fur the future. COPY OP A TREASUBY MINUTE, DATED AVO. 31. My Lords have before them the Act 10 Viet., cap. 107 " To facilitate the employment of the labouring poor for a limited period in distressed districts in Ireland," and proceed to consider the revised instructions which the provisions of this act and the experience which has been acquired from the operations for the relief of the people suffering from the failure of the potato crop in Ireland, since the month of November last, render it dooirablc should be if...0wl to the Board of Works, and to Commissury-General Sir It. Routh, who is in charge of the duties lately executed by the relief commission. _ _ _ No authority can, from the present date, be given for the execution of any new works under the 9th Viet. cap. 1; and goal works as may hereafter be required for the relief of distress must be presented and sanctioned according to the provisions of the 10th Vict., cap. 107. The Bowl of Works were instructed by the Treasury minute dated 21st ultimo, to bring to an early elope all the works under 9th Vict., cap. 1, which were not required for the relief of urgent distress ; and the board were informed that if the parties interested din lied that works so dawn ' tinned should afterwards be recommenced and completed, it was open to them to take the usual steps to provide fur that object, either by obtaining loans secured by grand jury pre sentment, or by other means. Their lordships desire that the Board of Works will report Ito what extent works have been discontinued under these instructions on the ground of their not being really required for the purpose of giving relief, arid that it may be under stood, in accordance with the passage above adverted to in the minute of the 21st July, that if it should become neces sary to recommence any such works, the renewal of them must be provided for either in the manner above referred to, or under the 10 Viet., cap. 107. With a view to give every practicable assistance to the i presentment sessions, the Board of Works should be prepared with plans and estimates of those works in each di-trict in which relief is likely to be required, on which the destitute poor might with the greatest public advantage be employed; and an officer of the board should be in attendance at the sessions, to furnSh every explanation that may be called for. In order to prevent labourers from being induced to leave their proper employments and to congregate on the Relief Works, in the hope of getting regularly paid money wages in return for a smaller quantum of work than they have been accustomed to give, the following rules ought, in their lord ships' opinion, to be strictly observed No person should be employed on any relief works who can obtain employment on other public works, or in farming or other private operations in the neigUet r hood. The wages given to persons employed on relief works shisuld, in every case, be, at least, 2d. a-day less than the average rate of wages in the district. And the persons employed on the relief works shou!cl, to the utmost possible extent, be paid in proportion to the work actually done by them. Their lordships suggest for the consideration of the Lord Liente. ant, that it may be advisable that in every ci se in which it may be determined to assemble extraordinary ses sions for the presentment of works under the. 10 Vict., cap. 107, instructions should also be issued to the lieutenant of the county, to reassemble the relief committees of the dis tricts in which such works are proposed to be carried on, making much changes in the individuals composing the com mittees as circumstances may require ; or. if no relief com mittees have yet been organised in the districts in question, to appoint new committees la accordance with the rules pre scribed by the Relief Commission. Their lordships also suggest that, in order to obviate in conveniences which have been experienced during the late relief operations, the following alterations should be made in the instructions under which the local relief committees have hitherto acted : First, with regard to the assistance given by the relief cont. sauces in the proper appropriation of the relief provided under the 10th Vict., cap. 107, by means of public
