NORFOLK, Karl-Marshal. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. MACCLESFIELD COURIER, August 27. The Independent Potter was, on the morning of Tuesday last, upset near Gawsworth, partly through the misconduct of the passengers, several of whom,as well as the coachman, were severely Injured. It aFpears that during the journey the former had accustomed themselves to shout at the horses ; and though cautioned by the coachman of the danger they incurred by so doing, they continued to make a great noise at the animals, which ultimately in consequence took fright, set off at full gallop, and becoming unmanage able, drew the coach into a ditch by the road side, by which the vehicle was overturned. We have now in our possession a stalk of wheat measuring six feet three inches in length, taken from a crop grown after turnips and cabbages in a field belonging to Mr. Ogilvie, of Mere, near Kourd, the stalks in which averages mea. surement of six feet, and are thickly planted. The corn is expected to average front 43 to 44 bushels per acre. The cabbages and turnips were also a very great crop, averaging 80 tons per Cheshire acre. The land was immured with about 30 tons of putrescent matter, and 11 tons of lime ap plied in its caustic state to each acre. The kelp trade, which by late legislative enactments is utterly ruined as regards Ireland, afforded means of sub sistence to 40,000 families on the coasts of Galway and Mayo I We have noticed with much pleasure, that of the twenty. seven criminals included in the Report m adei by the Recorder to the King in Council, on Wednesday week, not one has been ordered for execution. WAITERS. I always endeavour to be liberal with waiters, and " such small deer," and I reckon I save 101. a-year by so doing,—for if you will not pay them, they will pay themselves. I get the freshest chops, the best cigars, and a civil good night, with the u s e of a n umbrella, when rains, by this simple expedient. Lord Grey has been in office nine long months, and in that time he has only been able to secure to his own family —sons, sons.in.law, brothers-in-law, nephews, and cousins —emoluments, si necures, and pensions to the trifling amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUM.

A mere technicality caused the withdrawing of the peti tion forwarded to London during the late contest in Dublin. A second petition is at present receiving signatures, and sill be on the table of the house on Thursday evening. The Tories are persuading themselves that there was an end of the matter when the first petition was withdrawn. By fia. turday's packet they will find that their troubles are only in the commencement. The chairman of the Irish distillers has received the fol lowing letter from Mr. O'Connell. There can be no doubt that the honourable member is perfectly correet in the opi. nice), that the only effectual relief from the suffering a t pie. sent sustained, is to be found in a temporary prohibition of the spirit intercourse between Scotland and Ireland. The drawback, alone, does not account for the effects we witness, and time is necessary for the discovery of the other causes to which they are traceable ; London, 27th August, 1831. My Dear Sir,—l had the honour to receive your letter of the 26th instant, this day, informing me that the distillers of Ireland were pleased to confide to my care their petition to parliament. I feel proud of their conidenee, and feel it an honour to be deemed capable of serving the interests of the distillers of Ireland. They could very easily indeed have chosen a person of more ability, but they could not, I venture to say it, have selected any man more unfeignedly desirous of pro. moting Irish industry or of protecting Irish trade and ma. nufacture. In a former letter to you as chairman of a former meeting, I expressed a preference to the plan of reducing the drawback on malt over the plan of prohibiting, at least for a time, the spirit intercourse, I beg to say that I have had much more information on the subject since I wrote, and that my present opinion leads strongly to the conviction that it is necessary to prohibit the inter course for at least a short period. It seems to me that the frauds committed in Scotland by means of the drawback, arenot alone sufficient to enable the Scotch distiller so entirely to undersell the Irish distiller in the Irish market. Those frauds account to my mind for only pan of the diffe rence between the proved real cost of honestly made and sold Scotch whiskey, and the price for which it is, in point of fact, sold in Ireland. At present I cannot account for that difference otherwise than by supposing that the Scotch distillers obtain facilities, when the Irish distillers meet with nothing but difficulties. This would be the mere easily ac counted for, if it be true—and I have reason to believe that there is some truth in It—that the Scotch distillers are guarded by Sootehmen as revenue officers, while the Irish distillers are watched by English and Switchmen. At all events, the means of selli n g Sw.h spirits so much chcapet than Irish can be sold, is a mystery which remains un explained on any avowed and at the same time intelligible grounds. I will of course enforce the object of the petition as well as I can, but I fear without much success. You are de prived of the advantage of a domestic and local legislature. You have not the advantsp of personally explaining e o ti r framers of laws the means by whi c h your industry is & e k ed and your capital interfered with. Neither can you puni t h 'by dbmiasal from the legislature the men who may eithre neglect or op po se your interests. In short, a foreign l e o,. lature has other cares and other sympathies d until h t . land has procured the restoration of her o w n Parliaturr, her merchants and traders must be liable to the fri effects of all the frauds which it may be the interest of °nir parts of the empire to perpetuate upon Irish commerce a r g manufacture. DANIEL O'CONNELL. John Power, Esq. Chairman of the Irish Distillers. As an exemplification of such a scheme applied gene. rally to Ireland, the following notice, as applicable to the county of Meath, is respectfully submitted to considers. tion The poor may be clamed under three heads : I. Able bodied labourers (with their families) nom. ployed at certain seasons. 2. The aged and infirm, being householders. 3. The destitute—(houseless and wandering.) For the relief of those classes respectively, the following means might be made available : 1. For the labouring class:— Meath contains, independently of many thousand acres not yet rated on the county books, 274,778 acres that pay cesa. These, let at an average of 30s. per sae, together with the value of glebe lands, produce a rental to head landlotds, middlemen, and clergy, of about four hundred thousand pounds a year. A charge of three per cent, upon this rental and upon the value of tithes, would amount, in round num. ben, to twelve thousand pounds yearly. This sum at 21. per head, or ss. a wee k, would give employment to 6000 men for two months. These men being heads of families, consisting of five persona each, the employment thus afforded would give an additional degree of support and comfort to at least thirty thousand persons, men, women, and children; that Is. to 16,661 persons in each of the 18 baronies of the county. 2. For the aged and infirm : A levy of two per cent. from all tenan a, upon the rental they pay, on a valuation of the lands they hold rent free, or at a nominal rent, would produce eight thousand pounds per annum. This sum would give to 2,666 aged and infirm householders 31. each per annum, or in each of the eighteen baronies, would allow 149 persons dill portion. Having thus provided, to a certain extent, for the agricul. tural poor, being householders, by means to be taken directly from land proprietors, their tenants and the clergy, it remains to be considered what provision can be made. 3. For the destitute, now houseless and wand er i ng : For these it is prop osed to provide " Houses of Refuge" in each barony, or in joint baronies, on the plan of the Dub lin Mendicity Society. It appears from the report of that institution, for the year 1829, that 31. 17s. 74d. is the an. nual average cost of each mendicant (including all charges for rent, management, &c.) Thus, at the rate of about 41. a head, one thousand paupers may be supported for 4,0001. and for this purpose, there should be in the county ten " Houses of Refuge," holding 100 person s eac h. Th e ne• cessary funds might be raised by a direct tax on the properly of absentees ; by additional charges on the licences of pub. lie houses; together with a druw.back from government of per cent. on the revenue derived from spirits ; and by fines at suites, the quarter, and petty sessions, dtc. To these may be added the alms collected at churches and chapels, and the bequests and voluntary donations of the charitable. For the management and disposal of the funds thus raised, it is suggested that parochial committees should to appointed to be composed of the Protestant and Roman Catholic Clergy, and each landlords and tenants as pay a certain proportion to the rates ; the landlords to serve either by themselves or their agents ; and all the lay members to come on and go off by rotation. It is not pr oposed to give to any individual pauper an abs o l ute l ega l r h t to suppon ; the members of the committee to decide on aclaims.

WHISKY of the Scotch members had a meeting with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his residence in Downing-street, on Saturday the 13th, in re. gard to an application from Ireland for the removal of the drawback of 11s. per gallon on spirits distilled from malt.— Amongst others, were Mr. Campbell of Islay, Mr. Teal Mr. H. Rosa, Mr. Down Gillon, Dlr. Pringle, and Mr. Andrew Johnstoce.—lt was state d by Mr. Campbell, that previous to the reduction of the duty on Whisky and the allowance of the drawback, about 14,000 out of 17,000 of the population on his estates had been engaged in smuggling; that about 200 of these were annually committed to jail ; that since the remission of duty there had not been above two or three persons committed to prison, from that numerous population, for offences connected ith smuggling. The members present deprecated any alteration on the present system, which might tend to injure the morals of the Highland population, or disturb the Scottish distiller in Ibis capon trade. On Monday evening last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Elgin were alarmed by the ring. • log of the Church bell. On enquiry the cause was found to be , a fire which had taken place at Kirkhill. A large stack of straw belonging to Mr. Geddes, farmer there, was nearly wholly burned, and the house occupied by Mrs. Angus, at a little distance, was also discovered to be on fire. In the latter ease the fire was got under before much damage I was done, owing to the exertions of a number of people from Elgin, and from the neighbouring farm houses. The way in which the fire originated is undergoing judicial in vestigation. MARRIED.—At Elgin, D. Alexander, Esq. artist, to Mary Ann DufE--At Park House, Dingwall, A. 31.

We have received several communications from various i parts of the county within the last ten days, all of which, we are happy to say, announced a vast improvement and rapid progress towards tranquillity. One instance alone has occurred of that alarming and savage character shish we have had so often to comment on recently, the murder of a man named Madden, in the neighbourhood of Chiggers.— Western Argus. THE IRISH YEOMANRY.—As an evidence of the deep detestation in which this obnoxious force is held, we take the following from an able and honest contemporary, the Waterjord Chronlek.—" No one pretends that they ever rendered any service in a civil capacity, and how have they done it in a matter, one ? During the rebellion of 1798, they never gained a single victory, or the slightest advan tage over the unarmed peasantry who were opposed to them: nor in fact could they be got even to face them, except ac companied by an iniwense mass of regular troops. How far were they efficient to putdown rebellion in the county of Wes. ford, where they were at that time immensely numerous? As long as the people remained passive, they burned their houses, violated their wives and daughters, and committed such cold-blooded atrocities as were Dever before beard of, except amongst the savage Indians of North America; but the moment the peasantry turned in their own defence, they fled like sheep before them, and lett the rebellion, which they had caused, to be put down by the King's troops and fereign mercenaries, who were Imparted to massacre the Irish. During the entire rebellion, the yeomanry accompa nied the army merely in the capacity of executioners, and half.banged, flogged to death, pitch-capped, and picketted the unfortunate prisoners who were delivered into their custody ; but as to render any service, as soldiers. we defy any person to point out a single instance of it. The only victories they have obtained were such as that at Nev. townbarry, where a hundred and fifty yeomen, without re ceiving the slightest provocation, fired on a body of ddenct. less men, woolen and children, and massacred them in s manner SO merci less and inhuman, as to leave no parallel to it in the whole history of the world."
