CHAIRMAN 01 7 TITS commit - rex •PPOINTED BT ISIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD LIEUTENANT TO PROMoTE 1111: SM. PLOYMTNT OF THE FOWL IN IRELAND. SIR—I shall make no apology for addressing you thus publitly on • subject of great national import ance. Our first consideration in reeking the means of affording. employment to the poor of Ireland, is to reader, as fur as may lie Practicable. she labour of our own people the medium whereby to supply the deruntid (or our own consumption of those articles which are imported from other countries. I du not mean at present to recommend any pre ference to be given, 'generally, to Isiah above Eng. hill, or even foreign manufactures, 'noires where such preference may consist with the iuterest of the consumer; but iu the particular case which shall form the-subjes,t of this letter, a slight exertion on the port of the Committee, of which you, Sir, ere the head, would sdffice to combine site interest of the individual with those of the whole people. It is stated in a Report of a Committee of the Horst Dubin' Society, presented Nib of February, MO, founded, I presume, upon satisfactory evi dence, that a quantity of worsted yarn, of 300,000/. its valise, is annually imported into Ireland. It is also ascertained that a quantity of linen yarn, to nearly the lame, or, ',ramps, equal . amount, is ansmolly imported front Germany to supply a coherent demand for this article in Eng land nod Scotland. Now, Sir, if she statements here set forth he correct, and I believe they •re, it requires, as I have before stated, but • mo derate exertion to enable the poorest and the most helpless of our people, to provide Ilse respec tive artich s alluded to, in sufficient quantity to supply;. as well our own consumption as that of Great Britain; thereby affording the mean* of im mediate permanent and prc!fitabk employment to the male and female peasantry of the south of Ireland—a part of the country, where for want of manufactures of some sort. the people are, duo. ing a large portion of the year, unemployed, the evil consequences of which are so obvtous, that it is unnecessary to dwell upon them here. The materials which form the two articles I have men tioned, can be produced in Ireland, in, any swan tity that may be required ; and besides supplying the demand fur worsted and linen-yarn, to the limited extent berme mentioned. we might he brought to save a quantity of flax-seed sufficient to obviate the necessity of importing thin article from Russin, Holland, or the United States; and it might, I have no doubt, ultimately enable us to grow the important article of hemp in sufficient quantity to supply our own want., and thus resider us indepeudent of importation from the north of Europe. To enable us to produce in the South of Ireland the article of worsted yarn, it is only necessary to make • liberal distribution of wheels, reels, and woollen cards ammo; the pourer peasantry. The article of wools is there already in abundance. It is a lamentable fact, that the great majority of the females are destitute of wheels and reels, although p messing a very general knowledge of spinning. I have often been surprised, thet in the county of Tipperary. the women, should hare so generally acquired the knowledge of spinning, with o ut any eatabhshed manufacture ; hut it is a fact which I have ascertained io my endeavours to introduce the spinning of courre linen yarn where I result., or haul any influence. and have often admired with what eagerness these poor itsdustitosis people will go a considerable distance on the chauce of borrowing • wheel. _ _ From my knowledge of the linen bnsisiess, hav ing lived in the midst of it in the county of Down for more thin 30 }ears. and from my observation of the province of Munster, if the sowing of flax was more generally introduced into the South, with a sufficienry of wheel, and reels (I allude particularly to the inqsroveil wheel, the iovention of Mr. Bernard Coils, for which he received the thanks of the Dublin S ciety, for their superior uttlity and abridgment of labour, and bring equally well adapted to the spinoiog of flax and wool). its • short tithe r.e would sir industry and comfort, in place of idleness, illegal meetings, and disturb ances; and in place of taxing the counties for spe cial commissions, prosecutioes, 'piing • pca sanity prove, to industry, if properly siotisted, we should have ;ware, content, and subordination, the necessary and constant attendants on industry. There is no where to be met with a more indus. trios* people thaii the pi:wintry of Munster, or who grasp so eagerly at employment in any shape. The %stamen W II wolf: the year through, wet or dry. at field labour, whhout duet, for 4d. per d.,y, and the men for ed. (but even that is precarious, as is the case in my neighbourhood, in the barony of Middlethirdy. Besides their employment Ur the field. the women' continue to stake time fur li n o. tiug (even as they come to mot go from wools), mail whilst employed at oilier domestic. offices. Can they be licensed of idleness ?—No ; it is soh ly the want of means that keep. the women as well as the men unemployed, for uolerai the lot.- ltaid or tusk in a leanly is able to procure a little flex or wool by his labour, after the iweesotry food, potatoes alone is raid h,r, nod that die kmale can Mores. a wheel, to make clothing for the family, they must be destitute of raiment ; indeed, lit many instances, loth boo, and tor ,ears back, they have been at night compelled to set k blither in the most Inclement .e4Sona, under the same clothes which cover tliem by il , y, and these often damp. There is not a doubt .but flex-seed can be saved as easily in' Irelaitil as 'stout. woo. or any other grain, together wish She _Paz. Tlris is a point of the utmost importance to the country, as the general impression is, tlutt either the flax or lie seed must be sacrificed. My hither has saved for thy last three ye.es seversl hogsbeests of seed, from which, when sown, there have trivariablf been pro duced as good crops as were fineb tote:igu peed (will s the exception of one eery drp season). And the flax on which it grew ss preferied to that from which uo s ti ed bad I,een WSW. it is truly necessary that the flair should be litiker,stesprd iu .wattr, end afterwards kept a loner dine 011 the psis than th e venal time allowed fur these purposes, whets the snricg of wed has not beets attended ie. consequence of increased arteution to the mode of prrporios the flax, sod the itrroOnctiogi I • . . . . of scotch 'nine, the [rich Max,- from !Vomiter, be girls to supersede the Russian flax in Liverpool, altliongh formerly it would scarcely be boulllit fur rope-making. I um coofident Ireland might he made to enjoy a very considerable trade in hemp, flax, Ilax-seed, and spun yarn, now curried on to the exclusive benefit of foreign countries--I mean the South awl Santh-west of Ireland, where so much ground remains to be cultivated. The niarrufatctore of coarse ,yarn in Munster would not interfere wills the linen trade of the North of Ireland, where the article is so much finer, and where, they are obliged to pull the flax greener, and before the seed is quire ripe. I doubt very much if any part of the world can produce so good coarse flax as I have seen, in large quantities, w forme parts of Munster; and it is • pity we should not avail ourselves of those advantages nature has so generottly thrown wry. • My.ohject is, to endeavour to enlist our leading men, who have a direct interest in the peace and prosperzty of the country, to give their aid to the introdurlng of those branches of trade owl manu facture into 'rebind. which would be a permanent nod au increasing source of employment to a large portion of our population, bringing tehef home to every cottage; and, instead of colonizing foreign lauds, Ireland would soon be üble to support double its present population. At the exocirse of about 1/. fur each family, a supply of wheel., reels, and cards might be obtained, which would afford such an addition to their-mea n s of obtaining an indus trious livelihood, us "would render them in a manner independent. 1 remain, Sir. &c. &c. - .

A company of 180 adventure rs are stated to have left St. Charles, Missouri, on the 10th of April, for the Rocky Mous taigas. They are described to be of vigorous and mascu line app , well armed, and prepared for a three years tour through this almost unknown and savage country.

MASSACRE OP CLEAVE. The belief that punishment of the cruelly, oppression, or inisronrinet of an individual descended as a curse to his children, was not violin. d to the common people. The tale Colonel Cant nisei', of Glealyan, retained this belief through a course of thirty years intercourse with the world. He was grandson of the Laird of Glenlyore, wbo commended the mi litary at the niussere of (Ilene°, sod who lived in the Laird of G!enco's house, where be and his men were hospitably received An friends, a fortnight before the execution of ids orders. He was playing al cards when the first shot was fired, and the murderous scene contriteneed!-s-Iti 1771, Colonel Camp bell was ordered to superintend the execution of • ma rine condemned to be shot. reprieve was newt, b u t the whole ceremony of the execution was to proceed until the erireinel was upon his kneel, with a cap over his eyes, prepared to received the volley. It was ties he was to he informed of his. pardon. No person was to be told previously; and Colonel Campbell wag directed not to inform even the firing party, who were warned 'km the almost for &slag world be the waving of a white handkerchief. When all was prepared, and the cltryfyntau had lift the prisoner on his knees in momentary expec• 'slim' of his fate, and the firing party were looking with intense expectation for the signal, Colonel Campbell put his band in his pocket for the reprieve, and in pulling out the packet the white handkerchief accompanied it, which catching the eyes of the party, they /red, and the unfortunate Preemie, was shot dead ! The paper dropped through Colonel Campbell's fingers, and clapping his hand to his forehead, he exclaimed, " The curse of God and of Gleneu Is here! f am an unfortunate ruined maw!" He instantly (pitted the parade, and soon after retired from the service. This retirement was not the result of tiny reprimand on account of this unfortunate affair, as it was known to be accidental. The imprmisi (((( on his mind, however, was sever effaced. Nor is the massacre, and the judgment which the people Inhere lass fallen on the descendants of the principal actors in this hags dy, effaced from thew recollection. They carefully note, that while the family o t the unfortunate gamic -man who suffered is still entire, and his estate press ad to direct arise succession to his posterity, this is not the case with the poste rity, and estates of 1110411 who were the principotti, promoters, and actors in the black affair.—(Sfearart's Sketches of lke Manners, *cc! the Highlanders.)

Nicholas Marie Alexandre less born •in - Paris, in the year 1797. Hit father was an advocate of considerable practice at the Correctional Tribu nal, and was much distinguished M his day fur his zeal and eloquence in his profeloarni. lie was devoted to the principles of legitimate go veriarneivt : this political devotion raised against him snit only the persecution of th admirers of liberty and equality, but also that of the creatures of Boimparte's government at a more subrtquent period. Wristled at last by the an noyences of the several revolutionary fictions, which ut that time rapidly succeeded each other. he retired with his sou, the subject of this little memoir, to a small estate he possessed at Lisieux. in Nottnandy. It was here that tile strange pecu liarities of young Alexandre's voice were first dm. covered by himself, he being then between seven and eight years of age. This discovery occurred in the following way :—lle was one day playing at the school-boy game of Bide and Seek, with a boy of the saute age, belutigirig to a neighbouring family, and, wishing to elude his companion's search, called him, as children are wont to do, iii a feigned tune of voice. as if he were in a certain cellar, near the place where they were playing; the child, com pletely deceived by the sound, instantly hastened thither, where he experienced no small disappoint ment in not finding the object of his search. Young Alexandre now perceiving, fur the first time, his powers of vocal illusion, coutitused, as was natural, to amuse himself with the deception. His companion, still culled to by a voice with which he was totally unacquainted, tan to complain to his father of the person that thus played tricks upon Mar. His father, after much importunity, accompanied the child to the cellar they supposed concealed the un known, and carefully searched every corner fur the intruder, whose voice continued to be heard in diffe rent part., and were greatly surprised that they could not discover the hiding place of the mocker. The perplexity of the father, and the terror of his boy, were much increased by young Alexandre then causing the voice to proceed as from under some stairs, near which they were shouting. Elated at the perfect success of his previous atiessipt, the arch boy now made the voice appear to be that of an Mil woman grasping abed and soliciting help ; they immediately hastened to see and relieve her, and retired much chagrined, on finding their kind in tentions useless—young Alextuidres deception re maining completely undiscovered. After this convincing proof of his powers of oral deception, oar juvenile hero, in all the wantau nces and cunning of boyhood, began to exert him self to ascertain how fur he could carry his illusions into practices It may not be teresting to record some of there early efforts of his. A dyer, who at that time lived at Lisieux, and was one of his father's neighbours, was in the habit of hanging up his clothes, &c. to dry in the ruins of an old castle in the town. Young Alexandre hid himself one day in a corner of these ruins ; and, while the dyer was occupied in hanging tip his thin 4 caused his voice to set in such a GOIIIIIMIT lir to make the slyer believe there was some one concealed in the mum of on ul.per story, immediately above the spot in which he then was, calling lustily to him to come tip and open the door, that lie might get out. The dyer thought it was some persists who hail conceal ed himself there with the Intention of robbing, if not murdering him ; cod. being a bold man, immediately rushed up stairs, armed. with one of his own poles, of no common diameter, to try the force of it on the bones of the hidden thief.— While she dyer was searching for his victim, young Alexandre managed to . attract the attentiou of a fishwoman, who was at that moment passing in the street below ; he made use of some expression., not the most pleasing to her delicate ears, and challeng ed her to come up the castle stairs, it' she dared. Such an invitation needed tee repetition to be at•- mord by a true dame de In hulk. The summoned heroine instantly rushed up, where meeting th e dyer, and, supposing him to have been the M- I lulling challenger, apse wooded him, first in us very gentle terms ; and. from wordy war, in spite of his long pole, proceeded, very soon after, to blow.. A third actor in this sceue of mistake mild Mi. raglan ices now caused, by our hero's frolicsome powers, to appear; a smith's apprentice passing down the street, attracted by a voice from the castle, that called aloud to hint to lend his assist ance in opening a door, ran up stairs with great 'rmies., to thew his uodersitmelnig of a luck; while in 0:e act of ascending, the litherwonent. knocked down by the dyer in the boat of his fury, fell against the unotlentling smith, who, retorting in kind. considerably increased the affray. The noise occasioned by the contests of the different parties for victory, who ell got soundly drubbed, drew half the inhabitants of Lisieux to the spot, sod afforded young Alexandre an opportunity or escaping unubeerved. The parties being separated, and an ingiviry inrti toted into the cause of the affray, impenetra ble mystery attended each explanation, and the old castle soon lad the• aepeitation of being the haunt of evil epirirs, This .adeciattire making constilesable 'poise, the all yet unnoticed author of it thought prudent to remain quiet fur a while, and only go iloutigh such wheats/4d as were Acers•tiry, to keep his organs in readiness for sudden and sole occaeleits.
