APRIL M. vnlent anti :patTioic a work, and by ths powers which each fright possess, to deviNe means for the enspictymont of the overflowing population. ''The introductit n-ofuninnfzetorics and fisheries, of trade and commerce, could not hut prodnee a protilgimis increase of manual labor, s% hich, alt being rewarded nceording to ex_ z•rtiun, would soon proi:nce ?lidusiry will emulation; these %sunlit speedily create artificial• wants, tlit- indulgence in which after a time, would di.incline the puople, if not to improvi dent, to early marriages i and thni the present icereasing population might receive a cheek, said to a certain P%lriut he restrained within the limits prtscribed by the needed mil' ploymont of the country. •• Although the mannC7 in which the Irish peasantry exists is revolting to the feelings of those unaccustomed to the inspection of their wretchedness and poverty, • yet ace they rich in the contentment which springs from a patient sub mission to their lot, from their coeyngal attachment and affection to their otf4pring, and from a itatural buoyancy of spirits, that makes the heaviest evils sit lightly on Omit hearts, with the exception of their being linable to earn a sufficiency to ensure the cant 1111 l 4nee of the cabin roof o ve r the heads of their families—a source of the groitest alliictiate and misery, from one end of Ireland to the other." The state of the Irish people has been so often clearly elucidated, and solemnly discussed, that to dwell at any length upon it now would be deemed impertinent. We are happy to agree generally, with Mr. Curtven's views of the causes of existing evils, as we think them liberal, temperate and just. Omitting many minor points, which, though they are in themselves mighty mischief , are rather consequences that: causes, we ap prehend that the imposerished and distracted condition of the people at large, may be principally attributed to these three—ignorance, want of employ, and oppres sion—and were the natural remedies for •these, educa tion, employment, and kindness judiciously applied, we have no doubt but that tie mists would vanish, and the Sun et' Irelaratrise to gladden and to bless ; not shin ing as some of the dreamers have amused themselves in depicting, on regal splendours and insubstantial mock eries, but diffusing the genial rays of instruction, com fort and peace into the cuttier's cabin, and reviving the drooping flowers of national prosperity, independence, and hope. Our Author is also an advocate firr the Emancipation of the Catholics—and so arc we, as sub seqnent to the amelioration of their lot in other particu lars. The kind of emancipation most wanted, is a re lease front the bonds cf ignorance ; it is that ignorance• which is the fountain of all the moral evil—it is that which makes it requisite to pause befbre we accede to the demands of the Catholics—it is that which perpe tuates-the discoies and outrages of the country. On this ground, the people clai in our most sincere commi seration, and our strenuous exertions for their relief. It has been a fashion (we blush to confess it) for centu ries to oppress the Irish ; and to keep them in a state of intellectual slavery. Can, we be surprised at hatred, at violence, which is fostered by acts of tyranny or cri minal neglect? Can we reed of the outrages that are too frequently cmamitted, without a feeling of indigna tion that the great work of instruction has beet: se•long delayed? The habits, feelings, and prejudices of un enlightened men cannot he expected to gi.ve way in a. monient—oppression and its train of miseries have con. • binned tin- ages, but amelioration and kindness have comparatively only just begun. This desirable plan is now prosecuting with zeal and :ocean, and the most beneficial results may be conti dentl;, anticipated, but the progress must be gradual ; and. if we are nut mistaken, the experience and delay of a few years would exhibit the question of Catholic Emancipation in a new light, both to its friend:: and opponeets. We have scarcely left ourselves room to teach upon the other points mentioned above-- It ap pears that the population is so abundant, that Agricul tare is by no means sufficient to employ it. Mr. C.'s suggestions we need not repeat, but we most say, tat we should be sorry to see Ireland become wholly a ma nufacturiag country—to :• , ee the plough exchanged for the shuttle throughout; these, we know, are Hot our Author's views, and we have only to add to what he has so well observed upon the subject, that there is no thing sr, detrimental to the health and morals of a peo ple, as the crowding. them together in a town, which is properly but one large manufactory ; natural feclin r s are destroyed—artificial wants arc ereated, and though we arc persuaded, with Nil% C. that agriculture will not suffice alonr, we hope that it will a lways have the prcpmdtraoce. hot we must conclude—we have :d -ready given an opinion of the „moral merits of the tvork befiire us, and we have otrly ta express a hope that the harnanc mid suggcstions of its Author may be attended to—ana that the effect of a wisr and conel:iatory system will, ere Icing, be visible in the lucre 'Ned happiness, prosperity, uod; loyv,lty of the peo ple of Ireland.

On Thursday a special Court of Common Council, which wa► very thinly attended, and at which there was but two 'Wenner' besides the Lord Mayor, was held lin the purpose of considering the propriety of addressing the Mince Re gent, the Queen, the Princess Elizabeth, and the Hereditary Prince of Hesse Hom here, upon the marriage of the two last. 'Fite Lord Nlayor having stated the object, there was a panne, as if for the purpose of fixing upon a mover. Alderman hi ictges rose and said, he had nu doubt the questions lie hai to propose would meet with the unanimous approbation and adoption of the Court. A Iter a few words expressive of the estimation in which the Princess Elizabeth and her roil !met were universally held, he rem:bided with tiros ing ad dresses in the order above mentioned. Mr. Savage seconded the motion, whicli were unanimously agreed - 17poil the motion for the committee to plepare theseconil Ali% Dixon slid, he could not hell) noticing, in. the ninq public manner, the thin attendance of Aldermen. A neglect of such a ile , cri i .tion, lipc.-nnalell an oecaNion, was extremely condemnable, and the Court were !mould to prevent, if pttvii- Wit, a sr stein of conduct which was eel tainly and which, he was sorry to say, was not limited to one branch Or their duties. Mr. Griffiths felt very much. hurt at the peculiarly thin Court, ann agreed in all that had been said about the absent Aldermen. Ile declared that he should complain to thepub lie of them, whenever he bast , such culpable itcdanees of neglect. 3lr. Oldham said, he shoithi submit a motion to the Court, upon au early day, upon the subject of the attendance, or rather the nomattentlance, of the Aldermen to their ditties. It was to hint a matter of doubt, whether the (butt had the power of compelling them to do those duties. The question should, however, be decided at once, that in the client of their independence upon the Court, Parliament might be applied to. Perhaps a titie for absence,. would have the effect of sharpening people's memories. Mr. Waithinan thought the Court was rather in an odd situ ation. litiionah the Mermen were generally inattentive to the pet fat :flatlet. of their 11111101, the present was itnameasion upon which they might, pet haps, rind an aileiptato excuse, 11111111 the „(round of the 'shortness of the notice.

EXAMINATION AN;) commurmENT ):t:1-.1", AT UttEENWICII. - --• Thursday masning, at an early hour, a vast number ef per- CMS had collected round the House of l'orreetiati, Cold Bath Fields, from motives of iu•ity, to see 2111! i (Tilted Tigard...rue, Hussey. About a quarter befui e nine o'clock a giass-auaely dt use out, in which was the prisoner heasiiy ;roiled, giia fah d by three police-officers with him in the coach, slid three ur four eonsh‘bles ou each side. They set cli for dititwich, where his examination was to Like plare. The prisoner did nut appear to feel the least {-mon to : there Was all ai 1' of bi tat carelessness about au of the cnosla We: , got behind . the coach and one on the box wi:h the co:whin:in, and the coach diuve on at a quick pace iii order to get clear of the crowd. On their arrival at Greenwich, the coach drove lip, 4111Wst several thousands of spectators assembled on the oc casion, to the door of the national school, near the chinch, woich wa• fitted up with a bar, &e. for the examination.-- When the prisoner was conducted out of the roach, he saw his brother, whom he shook by the hand and spoke to con cerning a debt of :is. lie was then taken'in and placer' ;it the bar, and the examination proceeded before the following ma gistrates :--Culonel rifleman, Mr. Smyth, Mr. Davis, Mr. SVatson, Mr. Williains, aid Mr. Puree'; Mr. Itickutt flue solicitor, and several ether gentlemen were pi escort. 'file prisoner's box was produced, ua which were 5 shirts,3 watches, a silver punch-ladle, a n d other articles already mentioned a former report, and likewise the ring and other !Mugs font.il on the prisoner when apprehended. The whole of the pro. perty produced was identified by Mr. George Bird, and Mrs. Bell, washerwoman to Nit.. Bird deceased The only material circumstance in the examination we here subjoin; the rest was what has already appeared. Mr. Ouster', the landlord of the Tiger's Head, stated that Hussey and Hazeldon were at his house on Saturday, the dup. preceding the murder about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he (liT• not ace either of them after, until half past 10 o'clock, when lie saw Hussey in the Lodge-room. What became of Hussey from 3 o'clock mail 10 he could not say. Hussey slept at his house on the Saturday night the murders were committed, rind left as soon as he had breakfasted in the morning. Nlagistrate.--• Were nut Hussey and !laze:duo in enitody of the constables (Larkin and Hodges) at your house, a few days after the murder Was discovered %" Yes, they were ; and the constables examined them, and discharged them without taking them before a magistrate." Magistrate.—`• Did you nut then say that both Hussey and Hazeldou were at your house all the night cut Saturday, on windh the murders were supposed to have been cot iiiii 'Med •" --'• I eau t !rosins ely say the precise words I tol.l the offi cers ; but if I did say it was under a mistake. Lai kin and Hodges declared that the winless did most positively say to them that Hussey and Itizeldoil were in his house all the evening and night of the Saturday when the murders were committed. The 3lagistrate severely reprimanded the constables fur not Winging the prisoners Wort:then, instead of taking upon thcitiNelses the stake of Magistrate., to examine au 1 ch..- charge prisoners ; and the witness, Aft. (fn-ten, was censur ed very much fur leading the otlicerb into au error, by speak ing a falsehood. Mr. Otiteii s iid lie was sorry, bii: it was quite an error what he said. Toe evidence of Mrs. Garnlivin, of Peckham, Hussey 's bro. thet's wife (which we have already gi veto etas ut I I Vold j the only additional part of it wuttli notice is, that she ',kid that Ilu•sev ;tint Hazeldon had heat' together at her latu•t•, and that she lueud the watches belonging to Mr. lltrd in this, e y box. Mr. M. Bird was next examined. He seemed much affected at the right of the hlociil.stanied propetty. He Wen. titled the watches, the silver ladle, and alt the inner property . , except the hank notes. The el,ifknce of Mr. Litton, of the Greenwich academy . , wars their.read ; the chief part has already appeared; the only part worth mention that liassey a nil I Lizcidon isegorotly Caine together, after the inord , !r, to his house, and cleaned themselves, their shoes, :1:441 often ale and drank toge ther in his home; indeed, lie believed they were nearly al ways together, and had been companions Lor a cou,iderable time.
