The state of Ireland becomes every day more alarming, and we fear the coersive measures about to be adopted will not restore her to tranquillity— Horse, foot, and artillery may for a moment sup. press the groan of discontent, but such means will " scotch the snake. not kill it," and nothing short of a radical change in the system of oppression under which the sister kingdom writhes, will make her people satisfied with their state. The Union has beggared those who were affluent —►t has drawn away from their native residences the Nobility and Gentry, by which the money de rived from their estates is squandered, far from those whose labour furnishes the funds, and that curse of Ireland, the Middleman, is introduced to add to the already overpowering distresses--though a Catholic country, Ireland is obliged to maintain and pay tithes to a Protestant Clergy, who not chusing to reside among those whom they charitably consider but little better than barbarians, employ the tithe. proctors to collect those dues to which none but a legal claim can be urged—thus is discontent constantly engendered by oppression, and while that is the case you may dragoon them into temporary submission, but will never have them truly loyal subjects—one may make a child kiss the rod with which it is chastised, but its enmity to the party administering the chastisement, is not less on account of that constrained apparent sub mission. The only way to regain the real esteem of the Iribh nation is, to ameliorate their condition—to 'WI • THE NATIONAL REGISTER lighten 'their burthens ; to remove some of their heavy grievances, and to beget by our conduct to them, a conviction that at all events, we do not feel towards them more harshly than to any of those countries, where our power has been established by recent conquest—they have as yet no reason to feel this for one of the first stipulations in all such capi tulations has always been—" The Religion of the Country shall be respected" while in Ireland, if we do not enforce their conformity to it, we do compel them to support in splendid and distant laziness the Members of a Religion, they have al ways been taught to abhor. We most ardently hope that these things will occupy the earliest and most serious attention of the two Houses, as soou as they shall meet. Died, at Brighton, on Wednesday last, James Perry, Esq. for many years the highly-respected Editor and Proprietor of The Morning Chronicle. In consequence of a letter which Mr. Hunt ad dressed to Mr. Baron Graham„.pardons and remis sions of sentences have been sent to six convicts, at Ilchester gaol, whose cases he stated to the worthy Judge. Of these, five sere of the number of his witnesses. The new gaoler, on his entrance on his office, has evinced a judicious union of vigilance and humanity which is highly satisfactory. The follow ing facts afford u striking proof of the benefit accruing to the county of Somerset upon the late investiga tion:—The amount of the whole rates collected tiff the whole quarter before Mr. Hunt's "Peep" came out, was 7,2291. 3s. 541.; the quarter after the " Peep' was published, it fell to 5,4081. 10s. 6d.; and on the first quarter after the investigation wat ended, the amount was reduced to 2,1621. 16s. 10d. The Marquis of Wellesley is immediately to suc ceed Earl Talbot as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Mr. Goulburn is to be Chief Secretary, in the room of Mr. Grant. Ministers are anxious to have the active support of the Right Hon. Robert Peel in the House of Commons, and he is to succeed Lord Sidmouth as Secretary of State for the Home De partment. These changes, in which the public will feel no interest whatever, will be followed by others, that we expect to be enabled to announce in a few days. Aoaic ovro RE. is reported in ,circles of high information, that ministers have determined so fitr to meet the proposition of the agriculturists, as to lay a duty of 20s. per quarter on foreign corn im ported, to reduce the rate st which importation is permitted to 70s. per quarter tier wheat, and to form a proportional scale for other sorts of grain.— The price of wheat in this country, supposing such a law to be made, will amount to the cost of the grain abroad, the expence of transit and the duty added together. The average of the two first is about 375. and, if 20s. tax be imposed, of course the price will be about 575. with perhaps a sixpence or shilling per quarter for the merchant's profit. Should peace continue, however, it is probable that the price, both in America and an the Continent, would tall from the acknowledged superabundance of the supply. Thus, it is conceived, a law imposing such a duty would only serve to fix the average about where it now stands. Our readers will doubtless remember an account, which we presented them some weeks since, of the Curate of Buttesford and a young lady, to whom he was attached, having absented themselves from the village and retired to a neighbouring wood, where, in consequence of the opposition of relatives to their union, they mutually agreed to take poison, by which the young lady died, hut the gentleman having, in his agitation, spilled some part of his portion, escaped that death which he afterwards attempted to attain by cutting his throat. The inquest on the young lady returned a verdict of—" Died in a fit of tempo rary derangement, caused by taking poison.' Con tinued inquiry has disclosed circumstances which render the young clergyman's account suspected, and his subsequent elopement has not tended to allay suspicion. It has been discovered that the young lady did not, as it was affirmed, procure the poison from her father's dispensary. It is doubted if the lover took poison at all, and the appearances on his neck show that the wounds were such as could not, at the time of their infliction, have endangered his life. The poor girl, it has since her death been discovered, was en famine. The retreat of Mr. Towne, who withdrew with his mother, has nut yet been discovered. His relations are persons of wealth and consideration. The young lady's father, who is distracted with grief, is a gentleman of pro fessional talent and great respectability. OLD BAILEY SESSlONS.—Yesterday T. Saxelbye, was indicted for forging the will of late Nlr. Thos. Rubinson, of Hull, The evidence was of extreme length, from the numter of witnesses exami , ied, and when our Reporter left the Court, at a late hour, the verdict had not been pronounced.—We shall give the particulars nest week. , Letters from Constantinople, dates the 25th of October, repeat, in positive terms, the statement in the French papers, that Persia has declared war against Turkey, and add, that advantages had been gained over the Turks near Bagdad, and also in the vicinity of Erzerum. No intelligence had ar rived there from Petersburgh since the return of Baron Strogonoff, but all apprehension of A war with Russia had subsided. The contest with the Greeks and the Persians was likely, without the interference of Russia, to find sufficient employ ment for the troops of the Porte. An account, said to be official, has been transmitted from Constanti nople, announcing the capture and destruction of a a fleet of Greek ships by the Turks, in a naval action off Patras; but this is supposed, and with some co lour of probability, to relate to the vessels lying at anchor in the harbour of Galaxidi —an affair which has been already narrated, and which bore no sem blance to a sea-fight, as most of the ships had been abandoned by their crews, and the remainder made little or no resistance. Letters from Patras of the lst ult. confirm the fall of Tripollisa, but give a different account of the manner in which the place was conquered. They say that the Albanian Turks, who formed its gar rison, unfaithful to their trust, had delivered it up to the Greeks. Whether accurate or not, this ae count obtained entire credit at Patras, where they, in consequence, deemed it prudent to disband and send away from the place all the Albanian Turks in the citadel. By this step the garrison of Patras was so much weakened, that resistance to the Greeks was no longer contemplated; and they had made pre parations to destroy the fortress, which they were prepared to quit immediately on the approach of the enemy. All the inhabitants, likewise, held themselves in readiness to leave Patras at a moment's notice. THE CARLILES.—On the 3d instant the " So ciety for the Suppression of Vice" obtained a war rant against G. Clarke, Carlile's shopman, for the sale of a work, containing an alleged libel on the King and Government, by virtue of which he was apprehended, and taken before Mr. Justice Bayley, at his Lordship's chambers, from whence he was committed to Newg-ate for want of bail. The de fendant threatened an action against the Society for a false arrest. Clarke had scarcely been arrested 1.1 hour before his place was taken by a young gir!, named Susannah Wright, who continued the sale of the same work, and an information being lotigal against her, she was also arrested, and oa Frittay morning was brought before Judge Best, to put in bail, The trials of these defendants will come on during the next Sittings at Guildhall. A melancholy anti fatql accident happened it Newton House, the seat of the Earl of Darlingtoi near Bedal, Yorkshire, during the violent storm ut last Friday night. Between three and four o'clock the family were roused from their beds by a dread ful crash, and it was found that a stack of chimnies had fallen on the roof of the room in which Mi.s Russell, the niece of the Countess, slept. On re moving the rubbish she was taken out dead, blt without any marks of violence. This interesting, but unfortunate young lady, was in her 20th year. The house was full of company at the time, but no.) other person sustained any injury. The American navy has struck a decitive blow against the hordes of pirates that infest the seas ~1 the West Indies. Off Cape Antonio, on the 1 ti::, of October, a small fleet of bucaniers, consisting t.,t four schooners and one sloop, was descried by the Untied States' brig Enterprise, in the act of plun dering a merchant vessel, and she succeeded in ca,;- turing the whole of them. The crews were seat to Charleston tin trial. This vigour, if followed up must soon lead to their annihilation. MIDDLESEX SesstoNs.--Yesteniay Mr. Robert son. a clerk in the Navy Bill and Accountant Office, was indicted for defrauding the treasurer of the Navy Board of 501. Lis. by means as fictitious Bill of Exchange. A great number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, and the jury found the prisoner guilty, but strongly recomnund ed him to mercy, on account of the very excelie:lt character he received from several gentlemen be longing to that department.—Judgment deferred. In the event of a change in the admiralty, a new place may be found fos the present secretary, by ap pointing him Governor of Croker's Monntains. SHOOTING EXTRAORDIWART.--Nlr.
