We have already sbewn that viksi tythe flamers, absentee proprietors .. of land, or tyrenaie agents, and the Orange-wreckers, were the pr i o dril causes of Irish misery and insabordina ii. d os ; a bad system of education, and ieligious r ows produce these concomitant effects.

So that elections may thus become e ase, led when a popular candidate offers him self, he bas, at the risk of his fortune, to contend with the whole force of those devoted to the government ; he rust either raise on on his estate, or lose every prospect el II successful issue. The people of Etig. lan d m aims* a curious opinion of what in frith R eremd .diker or Excisemen used to be : we suppose givens me not so managed. In Ireland, an Lease. oss who got Lis place with scarcely a second coat tie bi t tsik,soon cleaned up, bought a good hunter to 01111 . 1' g qr. be took the best lodging in the neighbeinc; kali or if married, the best bonse in the town, with . 10/404 and ail appengeges thereinto beloaging ; be iteirtained some of the Snit people is his district, pidicalarty broweis and distillers; went out hunting 00 the Lord or the Squire, and all that out 4 sJITT pounds per year. Our Readers may nate day ask how was this to be done? The difficulty . h Wiley explained : those conscientious gentlemen swanned an entertainment to their friends—in call the wine, spirits, meat, fowls, game, fruit, and even dainty; the Exciseman only suspected who the boom were, as the brewers and distillers would not Welt his honor by a bribe, so the good things cuss from Mr. Nobody. This was not all, there Irma certain sum enclosed from some unknown Apes on the first of every month ; be might -guess at the writer, but knew nothing of him; he re wired the note thus—Sir. please to accept the ea. third note for twenty pounds, which shall be rev posted monthly for your kindness to A FRIEND. And if' it was the guager's good fortune to have more time one distillery in his walk, he kept a pair of limiters, and bad Esquire tack'd to his name directly. This Esquire woe very loyal no doubt ; be must have become an Orange-wrecker, as a matter of course have sheen hie loyalty, unless his paposeatere is that case he 1 43 7 . alimuldaae. ems teed Ines eie Mean , fit their , They For tweed of apprenticing thole sons t) they were brought up in a state of comparative idle lie's, and rendered little good in the way of trade or Industry. Idleness is the bane of Society ; from want of employment the mind becomes susceptible of bad impressions, and to that in a great measure may be *Bated many of the great evils attending the cos iest of the ruling party in Ireland. • The rising generation of expectant, are taught to lag up to the (loverament for every thing ; they hang n for years, until their habits become vitiated ; the more mischief they do their poor neighbours, the more likely they are to obtain the notice of the great Lords of the town; the more intollerant, the more loyal. To shew their loyalty to the Eno is to persecute his subjects; se after a few years toil in this avocation, the hero ex peels to be made a supernumerary Exciseman. It 1 eafortinately happens that the people of this country Lek with apathy on the continued oppressions of the lAA eeople, whom they cannot charge with a want of laiestry ; the Irishman In this country ventures his life half a dozen stories high with a heavy load an MI shoulder for half-a-crown aglay ; while the women tretic like horses in Billingsgate, Covent Garden, and is all parts of the town. It therefore cannot be said that bard labour and industry are not the character illie.tif the Irish peasantry; all these proofs will not eradieate.the old prejudices, so artfully kept up by the hireling *genteel's both countries; for if the people of this country had a foresight of the consequences that Pull follow a political unioo of sentiment in both; Ikey wet* perceive through the clouds of prejudice a repot political freedom bent forth, and at once en lightes OW Ignorance of the treatment that bas bets for centuries kept-up toward. the Irish.

The weather here is yet fine for.4the season of the year, but it is feared that rain will succeed and render the roads very bad. His Majesty, it is said, had yesterday a slight return of pain, which prevented his dining with the members of his august family. His Majesty, ac cording to the reports in the city, hsd invited their. Highnesses the Dukes and Duchesses ofCumberlaod and Cambridge and their children, the Landgravine of , Hesse Homburg, the Dukes of Brunswick, &c. to dine' with 'him His Majesty resides in his apartangots, where none are allowed to enter, except the members of the Royal Family, and Ministers of State, anti the English at tendants. The avenue leading from Herrenh:usen to the city seems deserted in comparison to.the first days after his Majesty's arrival. His Majesty's continued absence from the various exhibitions. and atnusemints has rendered them dull. The exact day of his Majesty's departure cannot be; Imown, for it depends upon the state of his Majesty's. health. Monday has been fixed upon,: het mine cam s be certain. It is4niended to procemk.by easy stages,; so as to be eleven days upon the road. On the first Might the King is to rest at Rothenkirche, and the se load in Minden. The route afterwards is to continee rough Coblents, Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, Liege, 'and Brussels. Prince Metternich arrived here on the 20. b, in the petting, and on the'following day he was presented to his Majesty by Count Munster, the Hanoverian Minister for 'Foreign Affairs. The King, it is so-1 ported, was not able to receive the Prince otherwise' than as an invalid, seated in an easy chair with his leg stretched out on a couch. The Hanoverian news paper (a paper which is at least demi-official) states that Prince Metternich has come as being specially de puted by the Emperor of Austria to congratulate his Majesty on his arrival in his Continental dominions. That may partly be the object of his visit, but nobody believes that this great diplomatic character came here for nothing more, particularly while one of the Imperial family, Prince Ferdinand, is here, deputed specially for that purpose. Prince Metternich and the Marquess of Londonderry visit each other daily.— Coant Lieven has not yet arrived, although the Countess came to Hanover on Sunday. The protracted absence of the Count, united nith some of the late declarations of Russia, gives cruse of surmises unfavourable to the peace of Europe. The coffee-house politicians here think that it looks as if Russia was determined to wage war with the Turks without the consent of Austria and of England. England, they say, will then wage war with Russie Fd aud they look forward to the occupation of Hanover by the troops of Prin.- sia as a matter of colirsa.A mention this merely as the chit-chat of the place. Letters are said to have been received here from mg, stating, that his simps4 to Italy with for *OM iiiibe4BlE beef I have this moment inquired after his Majesty's ' health at the Palace, and have been informe , l that his Majoity slept well during the night, and that be finds himself quite well. The various members of the Royal Family are to dine with his Majesty, and in the even ing there is to be a drawing•room. His 3lajesty i4not expected to leave the Palace to-day. It is said, that in the evening, the middle classes, or as thry are called here, the burghers. intend to give his Majesty a serenade or torch music, similar to that which was before given by the officers. The Doke of York will, it is expected, attend the meeting of the Lords Justices at the Cock Pit, on Thursday next, and afterwards leave London immedi ately, on a visit to the Marquess of Hertford,at Hatfield. The Exeter Scbseription for the benefit of the fami lies of the unfortunate fishermen and pilots who lost their lives near Clovelly, now amounts, we are happy to state, to about 5001. A general meeting of the Guildry Incorporation of Perth, was held on the 6th inst., when a vote of thanks was unanimously voted to Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. for his indefatigable and meritorious conduct in the House of Commons. Mr. Hume, after returning his acknowledgments for the respect shown him, made the following observation :—" The present self-electing Royal Burgh system is of that nature, containing in itself the seeds of misrule and injustice; and I have only been acting a consistent part in my continued exertions to have it abolished, and the choice of the Councils given to the people whose rights and interests I they have to watch over."--(Glargoto Chronicle.) ROTALTT AND PLUM TM/TH.—ln the summer of July, 1757, the Empress Maria Theresa was walking in the Imperial Gardens at Schaeabrann, reading some pa pers; at the end of an avenge she perceived a hoary veteran, wbo had been placed there as ematinel, fast .asleep. Sbe gave him a gentle tap with the roll of pa pers, and having awoke bhp. she desired him to keep his eyes open, for fear of the punishment incurred by soldiers who sleep on duty. The old veteran, unaccus tomed to compliments, thanked her in the best manner bewail', and she then asked him " if he knew the Em press?" He replied, that" he bad seen her at !poprock some HI or 17 years ago, bat that he had not seen her slate."

Nothing can more strongly prove the badness of the times, and the very anion moate state of the country, that the necessity in which this Society finds itself, oidisoontirming its premiums from its present want of funds. The best Members of the Farming Classes have got so much in arrear in their subscriptions, that they declined to appear or to dine with their neighbours, and general depression damps the spirit of the most industrious and hitherto prosperous cultivators. Notwithstanding the distress and wants of the unemployed Isbourers, they have, in general, the merit of peaceable and orderly conduct.

OLD DAILEY.—Mis Mon Nix& , Hannah Jones was indicted for uttering base and coanterfeitcuin, purporting to be the genuine coin of the realm. Messrs. ANDREWS and NORTON were retain ed for the prosecution. John Isaacson deposed that lie was employed by the Solicitor of the Mint to purchase base coin of the prisoner, who resides in Charles-street, Drury-lane. On the 23d of October he male a purchase of seven coun terfeit shillings, for which he paid two shillings and four-pence. The money with which he purchased them was given him by the officers for that purpose. The base shillings were not quite finished; the prisoner heated a poker, placed the coin upon it, and whilst the shillings were hot, iimuersed then in cold water isi which she had previously put a . powder. Witness had i before made two purchases of a similar nature, (Heed and Kennedy, Pollee officers, produced a great quantity of base half-crowns, shillings, and sixpences, which they found in the room of the prisoner when she was taken into custody. They also fonnil upon her per son the money which Isaacson had paid her, and which they knew by certain marks. Caleb Eltis4rd Powell, is solicitor totieMint, anti has filled that situation thirty . years. He proved the whole of the coin to be counterfeit. It was made of base metal, and merely covered over with a %raids ; the silver would be rubbed off by a elteulation of two days. The prisoner called a witness to character, whose tes timony, however, failed in rendering her any service. The COMMON SIERJEANT ordered the prisoner to be placed at the bar, and sentenced her to twelve months imprisonment, at the same time admonishing her to adopt a different course of life when the term of her im prisonment should expire. Her name would be recol lected, and if she ever stood again at that bar for si milar effete', sentence of death would inimitably folios ligr conviction. --- - 7 — "On Monday, *bile 'a gentleman • in Wellington square, Ayr. was busied at his toilet, a pane of gl ass, in the window near which lie stood was instantly shi vered to pieces, and a tine brown pheasant darting across the room struck violently against the opposite wall, and fell stunned on the floor.

GRCZNOCIC, OCT. 28.—0 n Monday morning, about seven o'clock, an earthquake was very sensibly felt over the Island of Bu:e. At Rothsay, and in its vi cinity,atrentulous motion was experienced which lasted for a few seconds, and it is said by some to have been accompanied by a sound similar to that of the distant rolling of carriage wheels. We understand that it was also felt here, though so slightly as not to excite speculation till corroborated by the above in formation from Bute. A very violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Comae on Tuesday last. We have not yet received the particulars, but understand that it was more alarm ing titan any of its predecessors, and that it was felt, and the noise with which it was accompanied was heard, at the village of Blackfore, twelve miles front Comae.
