With only one exception in the county Limerick, end one in Tipperary (for we do not place much confidence in the stories or the Cork Advertiser), the South appears to enjoy profound tranquillity. We regret, ho-ever, to mention, that a dispositioo to outrage has manifested itself iu the county of Roscommon, at a place called Croghan, near Boyle. A policeman was attacked, and Ins wile wounded ; bat the sillies's did pot effect their purpose, which was to seise and carry off the man's arms. The Magistrates of Cork assembled yesterday, for the purpose of appointing 376 constables under the Curistabulaiy Act. Thus this measure is com ing into full operation, and we hope and trust that it will be followed by the results which its framers and the Legislature calculated upon. The markets and fairs are still oil the decline. Currency, in deed, has almost disappeared from the country; and we find that Colonel Rochfort, a great pro prietor in Carlow, is receiving his rents in kind. Something must undoubtedly be attempted during the strproaching Session. What will or can bas . done. Heaven only knows. We acarcely recollect an instance in our long ex perience at the Public Press, of a document creat ing such a sensation—such a good sensation—as the Pastoral Address of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fernseipousands of copies have already been cir culated!, Yesterday morning a smell edition was ready faliklbe public. and hundreds of copies sold in the course of the day, although the Address ap peared in two Morning Papers of the same day.-- ( Dublik Evening Post.) • _ - ECCI ESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

[Eros• the Dublin Mercantile Advertiser.] Before we conclude we shall have, perhaps, an interesting piece of intelligence to lay before our readers. But let us not auticirite. Our object previously will be to submit• very plain and simple statement to the Irish pubtie. It is needless to pay that the condition of the agricultural interest is still changing for the wore. Though iii some markets the price of the superior order of grunt has continued nearly stationary for the last three months, mill particulary at Mark. Line; yet the heaviness of the markets were never so completely sod so constantly experienced: The fittest wheat has ranged front 37% to 41a. at the London Cora Exchange; and, with the exception of beirley,„which if now demanded by the mallaters, the other corn proportionately leas—that is to say, • full third or more. The middle price of the quarter of wisest, of the best quality, averages, perhaps, in London, 395. In Liverpool it is about 361.; in the remote parts of England and Scotland it a not more thin 34.., while the general average of Ireland, taking in Kerry, Galwsv, Donegal, mid Uubiny does not much exceed 32ri. for very fair samples. II is clear th a t, wills such remetteratimi, such rems as are still paid must be disbursed !ruin the capital of the tenant. The prices of black cattle and sheep, which con liaised to maintain themselves after the depreciation of tillage had commenced, have beets wow time yielding to the pressur t e s 4the • times. At length they baste Come down irvel, sf wet wail lei. low the level of the corn market. At the fair of Ballitiasloe, in 1821, fat cattle, bought the previous year as stores, sold fur exactly toe price paid for them in 1820, leaving the grazier not only no profit, bat without the memos of paying his rent, except from the flaying, of previous years. In 1834, at the fair of the same place, fat cattle d d not bring so much as was paid fur them in their lean state ; ISi I was considered a year of unexampled depressive', but the prices had declined full thirty per cent. in 1844. Since this period, only about a month to the present date, the general fall in the country his been even more rapid than at any former period. At • fair in the county of Tipperary last week, ten fat bullocks sold for fifty guinea.; they would have fetched one hundred guineas eighteen months ago. It is absurd to think that from these profile rent can be paid. In fret. Gentlemen who farm their own estates are the must distressed people in this distressed country. It is user's to multiply instances, or to go, at present, into any lengthened dirquisition as to the causes of this distress, or to state the reasons why we think, if something wheal be not done, that the distress will continue, sod that its features will be still more deeply aggravated with the progress of time. It is manifest that the motley is not in the country, and without a currency we need not say that business must come at last to a full stop. Although the landed people and the land oc cupiers complained for a lung time—for the last three or four year*, indeed—yet to complaints and to ineffectual petitions they have hitherto confined themselves. 10 the mean time the race of Irish farmers is almost extinct. IVe speak quite ad visedly. The middle-men have all gone. They have sunk into the class lions which they emerged, or died off, broken-hearted. The inferior gentry, those who had I , demised to the groadlathero, from the year 1760 to 17go, have followed. Agri cutaral produce is now far below whin it was, as we clearly proved on a former occasion, in the year 1790. Beet, in a word, is now 2d. a pound. These persons have felt the shock. inn, from being gentle men of some rank and leading in their respective counties, are now busy in soliciting places under the Constables' Bill. In the county of Galway we have heard, and we believe we know the land—very poor and bad, it must be confessed it is—that • tenant, whose father or grandfather held a farm, leased in the year 1760, at 78.6 d. an acre, threw it upon the landlord's hands the week before last. Though the land was bad, yet it is • good sheep walk, and it is situate within six miles of the most considerable town, and indeed the capital of Connaught—Galway. The truth is, that we doubt whether the tenant could keep it, even if rent had been entirely remitted. la England affairs are in as bad • situation, but there the farmers, being for the most putt men of considerable capital, are able to hold out longer ; and, if we may tire • phrase of the fancy, to die harder. As it is, there is not a tenant in England who is not at this moment paying out of his capital, 'it being utterly impossible, that after selling the produce of his farm, Ise could pay a single sixpence from his profits. Nay, we are satisfied, that in • majority of caser, the English farmer must lose, even if he paid. no rent at all. Besides rents, tithes, and lazes, which are as high, and, with the excep tion of the tithes, higher than similar imposts are to Ireland, the English farmer has to maintain the infirm and unetuployed poor. This is a tax which amostito to between seven and eight . millions annually. . We have not -heard sermuch of agricultural dis tress from Scothiod, until lately. Yet it is in the nature of things that the Scotch must have partici pated iu the general paralysis.- 'We know, indeed, that the Highlands are in sl most deplorable con dition. Yet the country-is constantly eared by the incessant emigration ;• stilt this could not be felt as a permanent relief, for,•by the law of nature, if not of habit, it is well known *hot districts from which the greatest emigration-pourii• out are generally the most populous. It was from Gallia., in Spain, that South America, or a considerable part of it, was supplied with colonists; yet Galicia cuntinued for many years the most populous province in the Peninsula. But, though they have less poor to support in Scotland, and though their system of poor laws be better, and better administered than in England, yet the distress they experience is similar in degree and extent. Thus, the., the agricultural interests of the whole empire 14 involved in one common scene of destitu tibn. From peculiar circumstances, and particu larly front abundance of her population, and the unsparing ity with which the tithe system is practised we are of opinion that Ireland is, of the three no, the worst off. But in Ireland, till within the last week, we have not heard that any plan is in contemplation for the purpose of arrest ing the evil before it arrives at its final termination, general anarchy and irretrievable ruin. The county of Galway, s county difficult enough La" _ to be moved, but which is bow writhing in its heart's core, has, much in the credit of its resident gentry. taken the lead. A requisition signed by almost all the proprietors of the county, ha s been handed to ' I the High Sheriff, requesting him to convene the county, in nrder to adopt resolution', and to pre- pore a Petition Parliament on the unparalleled state or misery to. cb the !aided juiciest of that county b Sar beets wed. and paying the Legisla ture to grant relief. The Sher.ffs complied with the revolution, and dm county is to meet on the 30th instant, at Longbres. We suppose that the example set by this county will be generally fol• lowed by every other iu the kingdom. What the Legislature proposes to do, or whether they purpose to de any thisse it is not for ha to say; but it is material that the people of Galway, and the kingdom of Ireland, should know this, that the agricultoral interest of &gland will press for • low to limit the importation of Irish coca into England, wider the pretext that foreign ems is smaegled throng's. OE 'enemy into -site .. market. This is the circumstance to which we alluded at the begi tttt ing of this article; mid, though it is very unlikely shut Parliament will listen to an iniquitous 0 proposition, it behoves the people of this country to be on their guard. It is impossi ble to say what distress may compel it man or a nation to do. The agricultural iistereg of Eng land is, after all, the strongest, the most influen tial, as well as the most numerous body in Parlia ment. As to the import of forrigu grain into Ireland, slid its re-export to England. it would be wasting words to shew its utter falsehood. Yet this bright thought has gotten into the English land holders' head-. has been put fairly forward in print, ' and changes have been wrung upon it. saw ad nauseam, in The Farmer's Journal, • paper which is their text-book; and which, we conscientiously believe, by putting the farmers on the wrong scent, by ;nosing to them about averages and foreign im portation, has done more injury to the interest it affected to advocate than any newspaper pablished in England. When we say it is the echo of all the crude and ignorant dicta of Mr. Webb Hall, we nerd tint add, that it is wrong in its theory, and most ridiculous and foolish in the remedies it would propose. Yet John Bull believes in the same; and all history shews that John is an obstinate and head strong animal. We beg the people of Galway, and the other counties, which no doubt will follow their example, to bear this fact in their recollection—the thing will certainly be attempted : they should be forewarned. EARLY HISTORY OF mg •TRAKENGINE. Among the numerous competitors for the honour of having first suggested steam as a moving power in mechanics, we must certainly place Braticas and the Marquis of Worcester in the foremost rank. The former of these was to Italian philosopher, of considerable eminewce, sod who, in 1629, published • treatise entitled Le Muchiae, which contained • description of a machine for this purpose. The appeatua employed by Broilers ass, in fact, no thing more than a large seolipile, similar to the blow-pipe invented by M. Pictet, of Geneva, with this difference, that the aperture in the pipe con nected with the body of the trolipile, instead of being directed to the lamp (or, in this case, the furnace that bested the mschine),• was made in strike against the floats or vanes of a wheel, by which means a rotatory motion was produced. After the publication of this scheme, which, it is probable, was never put in practice with any useful rffrct, nearly 30 years elapsed ere the further consi deration of th is important subject was resumed by the Marquis of Worcester. The mode of.Amploy nig steam recommended by the Marquis. and which he describes to his Century of Inven'ions to have completely carried into rffret, was entirely different from that of his predecessor ; and it is evident that the Noble Author had received no previous hint of Branca.' invention, as be expressly states. in another part of the above work, that he " desired not to set down any other men's inventions ;" and if he had iu any case acted on them, "to oomitirtelikewire the inventor." . It is said that the Msrquis, white confined in the Tower of London, was preparing some loud on the fire of his apurtmeni, anti the cover, hosing been closely fitted, was, by the expansion of the steam, suddenly forced off and driven up the chimney. This circumstance attracting his attention, led him to a train of thought, which terminated in this im portant discovery. But no figure has been pre served of his invention ; nor, as we have good Ilia 711en to suppose, any dstscription of the machine he employed, except the sixty. eighth article in the above-mentioned work. IVe shall content our selves, therefore, with extracting that article from the noble author's MSS. preserved in the British • Museum. " An admirable and most forcible way to drive up water by fire; not by drawing or socking it up wards, for that must be, as the philosophers call ii, infra spherant activitaiia, which is but at such a distance. But this way bath no boundary, if the vessels be strong enough; for I have taken a piece of a whole cannon, whereof the end was burst, and filled it three-quarters full of water, stopping and screwing op the broken end, as also the touch-hole, and making a constant fire wider it, *lain' twenty four hours it burst, and made a great crack ; so that, having found a way to make my assets, so that they are strengthened by the force within them. and the one to fill after the other, I have actin the water run like a constant fountain stream, forty feet high ; one vessel of water, rarilitil by flue, (hived) up forty of cold water. Aud a min that tends the work is but to turn two cock*, that one vessel of water being consunitd, another begins to force and refill with cold water, and so suecetwively, the tire being tended and kept constant, which the self same person may likewise abundantly perform in the interim, between the necessity of turning the [ said cocks.—(fide Harkian MSN. (Yo. Y 0128.) In 1683, a scheme for raising water by the agency of steam was offered to the notice of Louis XI V. by en ingenuous Engl eh nrechluic, of the name of Method; -this, however, was ev.- &fitly suggested by the plan previously furnished by the Marquis of Worcester to Isis (*eatery If Ineelationt.

The only notice of tint iihn occurs in the collection of AIS.S. to 151.. , ;5 we have already alluded, and farms the letter p u t Of r very beautiful volume, contaioingabout Shim eight pages, and entitled, " Elevalson des Eitux, par toute sorts de Machines. redone a lo meson-. an pools, et als belsuce.

" Societies. modelled on the present system of the world, NOM to render war itidtspeinable; but it has been long lamented that a plan could not be devised to prevent the effusion of human blond, and the destruction of our fellow-creatures. Philoso phers, in their philanthropic speculations, have often recommended Sovereigns to discuss their pre tensions, and amicably decide what should be con ceded,and what should be refused— to circumscribe unruly ambition, and preserve the territories of the feeble. Their wishes have been realised, and a Congress of Monarchs is formed ; but what a body of malcontents has it excited ! The Reformists; who so exclaimed at bloodshed, who so lamented the death of the Lancastrian traitors, have taken alarm that measures are adopted to prevent disturb ance, and harmonize the world. Yon have, Sir, mistaken the Radicals : it is not sober discussion, it is not peaceable reasoning, they require ; it is over. whelmiiig States, it is the subversion of every reign. fir the favourite one of anarchy. If to the Revo lution had succeeded a just and free Government, some pretext might be offered for regretting its abolition; but if not one patriot was found, horn Mirabesu to Bonaparte, but all were atrocious im postors, all veiling their ambition under the garb of public good—and when all jarring interests were confounded and subjugated in the Emperorship— and when all the evils were concentrated, and in greater activity than ever, under this extraordinary usurper—it is evident that murder and theft are their order of the day, and no constitution, or the peace and happiness of the world. " The immense fin tune* of the family of Bona parte astonish the beholders. I occupy a palace that lately belonged to Lucien; it was not grand enough for him ; lie has purchased the moat magn:6cent palace that could be obtained, but yet is outrivalled in mansion and display of living by Prince Bag giochi. They are suffered to enjoy, peaceably and unmolested, the wealth they ransacked riom France, arid pillaged from invaded nations. Vicissitude of fortune has effected no change in the Bonapartean pride; all the daughters of Lucien call themselves Princesses, and will answer to no other appellation ; they are short clumsy girl., with no more appear ance of personal elegance than of mental dignity; fur, whatever distinction they arrogate, they hare no endowment to discriminate them from the lowest Bolognese females. The manners of Prince Bei giochi are a burlesque. as illiterate and as coarse as • dray-horse. I know of no parallel for him but the brute Bergami. • _ "'NOVEMBER t 4.
