He knew addressed him ought `lt, by arraying in disturbing government. less difficulty thnn he had accepted office. But no spell considerations should prevail upon him to swerve from the course which be felt to be a right one. He thought it unjust to allege that nothing had been 'one for Ireland. They had been but ten months in office, and yet they had been as active as cir cumstances would allow, and as the reform bill would permit, in their efforts for the benefit and improve ment of the country. The reform bill would itself be of great service, he hoped to Ireland. A grand jury bill was in preparation. The poor lbws were tinder consideration. The vestry laws were sur rounded with difficulty, and could not be brought before Parliament until next session. Taxes had been diminished. The coal duty had been abo lished, and the drawback on English calicoes bad been repealed. Much more was intended,but all could not be at once accomplished. As to the yeomanry, he should not revert to circumstanoes which rendered it necessary for Government to give them arms, and to call them into activity ; but to disband them now was impossible. Regulations for the removal of the evils incidental to their constitution were proposed, and be entertained a strong hope that these regula tions would be effectual. A few observations were made by the gentlemen who had assembled to hear this intimation, and the meeting then broke up, without any mitigation of feeling on the part of the Irish members. We trust that, whatever may be their grounds of complaint,they will not indulge, pending the reform bill, in any suicidal retaliation. But we think it right to state, that there is evidently some rottenness in the state of the country. Ireland will not be contented with a flippant heedlessness of her grievances on the part of Mr. Stanley ; and the harsh frivolity of his demeanor has caused a great deal of resentment. If it be intended to introduce new yeomanry regulations, promptitude will be requisite to induce us to give any credit for the sagacity of design. There were present— Lord Killeen it. M.

Their merit about the Reform Bill is undeniable ; yet in the situation of the trade, industry, and population of this kingdom, men of genius ought not to be li mited to one idea ! Why not repeal Sturges Bourne's oppressive poor laws ? Why not pass the trruck bill at once ? Why not reform the magis tracy ? Why not repeal tho despotic six acts ? Why net hasten the select vestry bill ? Why break promise with the press? Why not recognise Poland? Why not disband the vile Irish yeo manry, and give Ireland the benefit of liberal poor laws? Wby not correct the absurd laws which min debtor and creditor? Why not carry back tenantry in land to its wholesome state in 1790? —and if not all these necessary measures, why not some of them, and why not AT ow CE In ante of the countless thousands spent in missionary subscriptions in India, Ramahun Roy declares that he does not believe that a single case exists of an Hindoo being converted from his own religion to Christianity. In effect, the office of a missionary in that count.) , is a mere sinecure. The most•curious developentent of the wisdoms • of the closet took place last week, in a certain as sembly, which we ever remember to have seen out of the purlieus of a University. Colonel Torrene told the Parliament, that improved agriculture was • the remedy for Ireland—that this consisted in con solidating small farms into large ones—and then as the doing this v culd provide for fewer families and labourers—the remedy is to send the created sur pies of the people to the colonies ! This wicked system is the science of political cconcmy itself, a cobweb string of absurdities. We, on the con trary•, should call improved agriculture that system which enabled the same land to maintain the greatest numbers on the spot or in towns ; such as would not merely provide for all in existence, but for every in crease of numbers, we should consider the improve ment as imperfect exactly as it became necessary to send people easy.. We should consider it as con .. . . t.isting in the multiplication of farm houses and farms ; and if the perfect husbandry and variegated produce of small farms, did not supply food enough, we would then e,seend limn the plough to the spade, and by inctc:Ang labour increase the pro duce indefinitely. We should not have noticed Col. Torrens and his paradoces, but his science mystifies small thinkers; and too many of these are in seats .of authority. At this moment half the stifferings of the people, alas ! are created by these pedants and their half-witted disciples. • Mit:Li t t nt. ta e... . d t sk4. .. e ____-- • a . 944 - VI l' .7• 4 REMONSTKANCI r ''''. 71441 4 1 most important meeti irE4i% Loa y's, of the Irish members sent the interests of their countryn • i : ' - gentlemen t. signed a requisition to tit :lister, praying of tl.e Prime Nlinist ‘'. 1, i asdience.

The number of dill joepnal for the month is, as usual, very rich in curious and resting information. We particularly reeol to the attention of oar readers the paper on trees—the visit to Warsaw—the account of a visit to some of the Polynesian islands—and a sketch of the voyage of the Chanticleer, in which that spirited and enlightened navigator, Captain Forster, termi nated hie meritorious career. In Wilkins's Leges Saxon, as quoted by Doctor Henry, we have prices of various articles in Eng land in the reign of Ethelred, about the year 997, which the learned Doctor has calculated with great correctness in money of the present time. Price of a man or slave, 21. 16e. 3d. sterling ; a horse, 11. 15s. 2d ; a mare or colt, 11.35. 5d ; an au or mule, 14e. Id ; an ox, 7s.

Lord Palmerston's explanation is anything but satisfactory to those who want a war, new bales of paper money, another thousand millions of debt, and aft the sweets of plunder. To me it is per fectly satisfactory. The Ministers have done their best (and fools they were for their pains) to keep the French out of Belgium, and to secure Holland, Prussia, and Hanover, from French attack; and' the French have gone into Belgium ; and there, if the Ministry be wise, they will let the French quietly remain, in spite of all that can be said by the enemies of parliamentary reform.—Cobbett's Register. The funeral of Mr. Monroe, at New York, the result of popular affection, invited the whole popu lation ; and was such a solemnity as none but a free country would display as a tribute to mere public virtue. Mr. Cobbett, in his Register of t Saturday, has printed the entire ceremony; and it appears, that without the pomp of heraldry, no Sovereign was ever followed to the grave by more attendants, nor with a hundredth part of the same number of real mourners. It is Mr. Monroe's highest praise, as it was that of Jefferson, that be died poor, after filling for years the highest em ployments which his country could bestow. He could have acquired wealth without peculation, and his forbearance to abuse his opportunities, will render him more wealthy in character( and more dear to fame, than any accumulators, who, living only for themselves, rot, and are forgotten, or if ever remembered, it is only to be despised. A hushel of malt, says a writer on this subject, contains 101bs. of saccharine matter, hence 101 be. of molasses will probably produce as mach spiritas a bushel of malt. If such is the fact, barley must be at 10e. per coomb to keep it out of usd. SPIRITS OP BREAD.—In a recent number we noticed the curious discovery, that bread in the process of baking emits a vapour which, being con densed, proves to be a spirit of great strength. The experiments are still going on, and the re sults are most satisfactory. A quartern loaf af fords several dranis of pure spirit, with something of the flavour of noyau, (it is thence proposed to call it doughyou), and from the general quantity of baking, it is estimated that 800,000 gallons per annum may thus be produced from what has hitherto been utterly wasted. But we are not now going into the -scientific history of the dis covery, and we only mention it, during the pro gress of its tests, to record the humerons ingenuity of a baker, near the place where the experiments are carrying on, who has placed in his sbopwindow the following placard : " Bread sold here with gin in it !" A memorial has been received from the Cape, I against raising the duty on Cape wines. It states, , that the capital embarked in the wine trade exceeds i 26 millions of rix dollars, and gives full employ ment to one-third of the population. All this may be, and still a very plain tale may put the memo rialists down 1 They tell us that the price of Cape wine in the English market is 101. per pipe, from which, if we deduct freight, insurance, and im porters' profit, the value at the Cape may be about 71. 1 10 it. Now, the whole importation of these wines into the three kingdoms is rather under 600,000 gallons per annum, or 6,500 pipes, the va lue or cost of which at the Cape must, of course, be about 49,0001. Assuming one-third of this to be prat to the vine grower and merchant, all that the , rape lose, supposing the export of wine toy Britain were annihilated, will be only 17,0001. It follows, then, that if one-third of the population of the Cape subsist by the wine trade, nine-tenths of the demand must be found within the colony, or in foreign countries, and the closing of the Bridled market, market, which abs orbs only one-tenth, must be a perfect bagatelle ! Cape wine is usually used in Britain for adulterating Sherry and Madeira ; and the 600,000 gallons so employed, which put only 50,0001. into the pockets of the Africans, take, in all probability, 300,0001. from John Bull! Surely there is neither equity nor reciprocity here. Grant ing that the black and yellow men at the Cape are all our brethren, does it follow that we should pay 300,0001. to create a trade of 50,0001. per annum to them ? In point of fact, the high duty, which is only to take effect in 1834, will not annihilate the trade ; it will merely confine the impartation to the Cape wines of the first quality, and exclude the rubb.sh. Au investigation has been going on before the magistrates,of the Head Police-office, respecting a charge of forgery preferred against the Rev. Mr. Henry and Lord Netterville. The particular charge is fur having uttered divers bank post bills to a large amount, di awn in favour of the late Viscount Netterville, and purporting to have been indorsed by him. It appears the late nobleman was very eccen tric in his habits, and for some time prior to his death, did not, as he was accustomed, fund his property, but having lodged it in the Bank of Ire land, got bank post bills drawn in his favour, which he never indorsed. Henry was his lordship's do mestic chaplain, and was left 1,0001. with other property, as a residuary legatee. The other person charged is claimant for the extinct title, and who has his claim, we understand, lodged before th e House of Lords. The late viscount was accus tomed to hide the post bills about the house, in different boles and corners, sometimes in his poc kets, and tied up in his shirts. After his death securities of this kind to the amount of 2,0001. or 3,0001. were found in this manner concealed. Some of them have been traced to the poseessiort of 'Henry and the claimant for the title. The prodecntion* has been instituted at the instance of the heir-at-law, E. J.

The Court has such authority (says Mr. Harvey), and will ex. anise it. At a meeting of the owners and occupiers of land, ink rested in the growth of barley, in the county of Fasex, held this day, August 12, at the Shire 110, Chelmsford, it was resolved.—That this meeting have heard, with considerable alarm and surprise, that a Committee is now sitting, deputed by the House of Commons, to report " whether it would not L be proper to allow the substit u ti o n o f molasses in the dis tilleries and breweries, when barley reached a certain fixed price." Secondly, That should such a measure be recom mended by the Committee and adopted by the House of Commons, it moth necessa rily reduce the value of barley many shillings the quartet; and that it would prove most, ruinous and injurious to the growers of that article in parti cular, and consequently to the farming interest in general.

Information was given to the 27 prisoners under sentence of death in Newgate, that the Report would be received last Wednesday. The usual time at which the Council breaks up is between five and six o'clock. The unfortunate con. viets, and upwards of 100 men, women, and children, wh o were outside the prison, waited in vain, however, on tred. nesday night, for the arrival of the Recorder's clerk with the Repoli. At nine o'clock, it was thought proper to send a Eger to the house of the Recorder, to learn the cause of the dtLj . " Gon bless you," said the Recorder's foot. man, "my muter got a note on Tuesday, informing him that the Report would not be received on that day l" On .Thursday morning, the Recorder sent officially to Newgate, to communicate the postponement of the report. The good wishes of the prisoners, and those interested abort them, it may be well supposed, were not wanting. It wu supposed that, after what took place at some time ago at Windsor, no further negligence would be exhibited upon oe. elisions of the kind, upon the part of the Recorder. Upon that occasion, the Recorder put the report in his pocket, in. steed of sending it up to town by his clerk, and remained all night at the inn. At the next Court of Aldermen the goes. du will be brought *mud, and some proceedings will be adopted _to prevent the possibility of any future m i sta k e of the kin d . - -1 SCIZITILL.E.
