At an early hour this morning the Court-house was crowded to excess, and throughout the town and neighbourhood of Clonmell the most intense interest prevailed respecting the calamitous occurrence at Borris-o'kane. At an early hour Judge MOORE entered the Court, and immediately afterwards Robert St. Ledger was placed at the bar, charged with the murder of Penis Whelan, by shooting him through the neck. The prisoner pleaded " not guilty." The Jury, of which it was said there was only one Catholic, were then sworn. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the facts of the case. The prisoner, he said, was indicted for the wilful murder of Denis Whelan, who lost his life at Borris-o'kane, oil the 26th of June last; upon that evening no less than three persons were killed, and 21 severely, if not dangerously, wounded. On the 26th of June last a fair was held at Borris-o'kane, and not more than 30 or 40 perches from the bridge lived a gentleman of the name of Dobbyn, who was the only Magistrate stationed in that neighbour hood ; a party of police was ordered out on that day, for the purpose of preserving the peace in that town, it being a fair day ; the fair, however, passed off, down to a certain hour in the evening, without the slightest riot or disturbance. It was alleged, upon the part of the prosecution, that a very unne cessary degree of violence had been resorted to on the evening of the fair day, by the police, in the dispersion of the people, who had given no just cause for such an act. They began by riding through them and cutting at them with drawn swords; that some of • the police were then pelted with stones, and retreated in the direction of the barracks. Soon after a Capt. Dobbyn, accompanied by 10 or 12 foot policemen, came to the spot, and without the slightest provocation ordered his men to fire on the people. During this time, according to the evidence for the prosecution, the prisoner shot a man of the name of Denis Whe lan ; and it wai stated that he fired at him at the . distance of about five yards, that he rested his fire , lock on a wall four or five feet high, and shot the deceased, who was seeking protection in a yard be longing-to a man named Robert Kennedy. It was alleged on the part of the policemen, that the mob became so infuriated that Captain Dobbyn was obliged to draw up his men across the street, and to give the order to fire. The mob then hid them selves behind the angles of the houses, in the lanes and yards near the place, and still continued pelting stones in every direction down the street. He (the Solicitor-General) believed there was no doubt of this part of their defence, for it was in one of those lanes the unfortunate mars Whelan met his death, for whose murder the prisoner now stands charged. John Killackey was then examined by Mr. SCOTT, K.C.—I live at Borris-o'kane; was there on the 26th of June last; went these at twelve or one o'clock, and remained there until the evening; did not see any tumult in the street until six or seven o'elock in the evening; it was a fair day; I did not see a very large crowd; I was in James Nowlan's house in the evening; he lives in the main street, about 16 or 17 perches from the bridge; saw the prisoner there that night ; I went outside the door when I heard shots fired ; before I came out saw one man fire a shot, when a man fell dead—it was the pri soner that fired the shot; he was standing in the lane, and fired over a wall, and killed the man at the other side of the wall ; it was Denis Whelan who fell dead by the shot; did not see the deceased do any thing before be was fired at. William Lynch, examined by Mr. DWYER—He was at the fair when the shot was fired by the pri soner; he saw him level his piece on the wall of Nowlan's yard to fire at Whelan; witness said, " Oh Lord, what are you going to do ? sure we are all very quiet ;" he then fired, and Whelan fell dead; there was no riot at the time. Another witness corroborated the testimony given by Lynch. James H. Ryan, M.D., examined by Mr. SMITH —Attended the deceased ; the gun-shot wound caused instant death. John Leeson, examined by the SOLICITOR-GE NERAL—Is a shopkeeper in Borris-o'kane; lives in a house next the bridge; saw the prisoner along with the rest of his party firing on the people ; he saw stones thrown a little before that time; about five minutes before the firing commenced he saw three policemen follow a countryman who leapt into a mill-dam behind his house; the people began to shout, and the policemen turned back; one of them began to gallop through the crowd, and was cutting round about him with a naked sword, and knocked down several people; at that time there were no stones throWn; there were three shots fired at him, and one of them hit him. The above witnesses were strictly cross-exa mined, but 'lathing material was elicited, and the facts spoken to by them were corroborated by sub sequent testimony. Patrick Hogan, examined by the Hon. Mr. PLUNKETT—Witness was sitting on the battlements of the bridge ; a good number of people were there at the time ; there was no riot, or disposition to wards a riot. He saw Captain Dobbyn coining down the street with a party of police, when he commenced taking sticks from the people. (This witness then corroborated Leeson's evidence as to the affair on the bridge.) Wm. Heise, M.D., examined—Lived in Borris o'kane 11 years ; recollects the fair evening. of the 26th of June. Before I went I saw Captain Dob byn march up towards the barrack with about 20 policemen. At half-past six witness heard a tre mendous uproar in the street, and he opened his window and saw four horsemen in full gallop up the street ; one of them was a little behind the others, and was knocked down off his horse by stones that were thrown 'at him by a mob, consisting of not less than 300 persons; he was scarcely on the ground when his horse was also knocked down ; the three horsemen galloped away, and left their comrade shamefully Lehind there, and the mob still continued to pelt stones at him; witness then said to those three policemen that were running, " For shame, go and save your comrade, or he will be murdered. ' He then went down the street to endeavour to in terfere, and he saw the wounded man then supported by a comrade up the street, and he was bleeding profusely from his head; witness then saw a police, man struck with a stone, and he fired his pistol at the man who gave him the blow, and his shot took effect saw 4 Shower o f stones from the bridge; LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1829. thought they were thrown at Captain Dobbyn or witness; knew the police were pressed by the mob, for the stones were flying at them in all directions ; the police were completely surrounded by the mob. Several witnesses were examined' for the defence, and they proved that there was so much excite ment among the crowd, and their conduct was so violent, that the policemen were obliged to fire in their own defence, but they ceased when the mob left off pelting them with stoneq. A witness gave the prisoner a good character. The Learned JUDGE then recapitulated the evi dence, arid charged the Jury at great length. The Jury retired, and at about a'quarter-past ten o'clock at night returned a verdict of Not Guilty, which was no sooner announced than the police assembled in the Couet and' the hall cheered, and otherwise manifested considerable exultation. THURSDAY, Auc. 20. James Burke and Thomas Smith were indicted for the wilful murder of Connor Mulally, at Old town, on the 7th of July last. • Mr. DOHERTY, M.P. stated the case. On the 7th of July the deceased was working in a garden along with Tim. Carr and Michael Delaney. Two persons came up at the time, and got into conversa tion with the deceased and the two workmen. As soon as the two men who came up ascertained who Connor Mulally was, one of them took out a stick with lead in the end of it, with which he struck Mulally on the head. The other took out a pistol, and swore they would shoot the workmen if they stirred. This circumstance took place at eight o'clock in the morning, in the midst of a number of people, who might be aroused at a moment's warn ing. That was a deplorable fact, but such was the unfortunate state of the country, that the man was barbarously murdered, as be had stated. He would produce Carr and Delaney, to prove that the taller of the . men at the bar was the person who struck the deceased, and that the unfortunate young man ‘vho stands beside him was the person who took out the pistol. The witnesses alluded to by the Solicitor-Gene ral were examined, who fully substantiated the state• meat, and the two unfortunate men were found Guilty. The JUDGE then, after a solemn exhortation, sem tented the prisoners to be hanged, and their bodies to be gived for dissection. The unfortunate men were carried from the dock in a dreadful state of insensibility; They were not able to walk a single step. Smith is only about 17 years old, and Burke 24. MUNSTER CIRCUIT.-FRALEE, AUG. 20. John Horan was indicted for violently assaulting Mary Tuomy. Mary Tuomy examined—l was in service with the prisoner's mother. Had occasion to go out on the evening when the prisoner met me. He asked me to consent to his wishes. I refused. He then laid hold of me, and threw me down. He had his will of me. It was against my will. I bawled and roared. Nobody came to my assistance. Chief Baron O'GRADY—Young woman, would you rather marry the prisoner or hang him ?—I would like to give him the benefit of the law, your Lordship. A pretty benefit, indeed Is your parish priest in town ?—I don't know, your Honour. Is your father in town ?—He is, my Lord. The father was called on the table. CHIEF BARON—WouId you rather see that man hanged, or married to your daughter ?—Oh, then, I call God to witness, I would rather see him married to my daughter. Then you consent to the match ?—I consent to whatever pleases your Lordship. CHIEF BARON—Oh, you must manage the matter yourselves, for I am ao match-maker.—( A laugh.)— Now, let us see what your daughter says to the busi ness ; speak to her. (The father proceeded towards the daughter, and, throwing his arm round her neck, gave her an affec tionate whisper.) CHIEF BARON—WeII, what does she say; will she marry him ?—She consents, my Lord. CHIEF BARON—Now see what the prisoner says. The gaoler whispered the prisoner, who said he was satisfied. CHIEF BARON—But how are they to be married, as the parish priest is not in town ?—The gaoler suggested that the Chaplain of the Gaol would be a fit and proper person to perform the ceremony. He accordingly took both into his custody, and instantly repaired to the gaol, where the capital felony was soon converted into a valid marriage. James Daly was indicted for violently assaulting Mary Cronin, on the 4th of April last. The prisoner had been confined for 12 months for an attempt upon the same young woman, and was out of prison but a few days when the offence was committed of which he now stood charged. Mary Cronin, an interesting young woman, exa mined—l live in Boherbee, in Tralee. On Satur day I went for water to the river. It was after dinner-time, about five in the evening. On my re turn with the water prisoner met me. He caught my hands together, put them behind my back, and threw me down. He said, " be revenged of you for keeping me so long in gaol." When he had me down he effected his purpose. I cried out, but he put his hand on my mouth, and stopped me. When he was going away, he said, " Now you may go to the devil, you blackguard." I got up with diffi culty. Was very feeble and faint. When I got home I sat down for a moment, and then called my mother, and told her what happened. There were three other women present. I fainted, and was put on the bed. My arms were bruised, and the side of my head was swollen. My cloak was soiled and dirty, and my gown was torn. Catherine Cronin—Am the mother of Mary Cro nin. Recollects the 4th of April last. Sent her out to the river for water for washing that evening, about five o'clock. When she returned I saw some thing was the matter with her. She did not bring more than a pint of water. She looked very weak. She then told me the misfortune that happened to her. I took her into the room, and put her on a bed. Examined her, and can say upon my oath that somebody must have done her harm. She told me it was the prisoner. Two other women, who were in the house at the time, corroborated this witness's testimony. The CHIEF BAILON, in summing up, told the Jury that country people in general had a very inac curate idea of time. If the prisoner were guilty of this charge, it was a crime of a most aggravated character. It was not a rape of love or of passion, it was a rape of revenge. It was their duty to decide from the evidence whether the prisoner was guilty or not. Verdict—Guilty, accompanied with a recommen dation of mercy. One of the Jury would not agree to the verdict unless accompanied with this recommendation. The prisoner, it is supposed, will not be hanged. The prosecutrix came on the table, and said she was -willing to marry him, to save him from being hanged. Prisoner—My Lord, I am rea dy t o ma r r y her. The JUDGE, in such a ca se , any compromise of the kind. would not listen to to Elizabeth Fahy (a remarkably ordinary woman) large portions of medicine. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Elizabeth Fahy examined by Mr. R. B7,NNETT— I know the prisoner •in the dock. Lived, in 'July last, hi the same house with him. It was at Mrs. Barker's, at Carrick-on-Suir. I was servant in the house. He was an apprentice to an apothecary there. Prisoner endeavoured to make free with me, and I allowed him. One night, when the family were on a visit at 'Waterford, and there was no one in the house but the prisoner, myself and an old woman, who was hired for a short tine to do some work, Mr. O'Brien came into the kitchen and gave me a glass of punch, which, when I had drank, I discovered to have had a very peculiar taste, being very strong, and somewhat different from the taste of whiskey. This was about ten or eleven o'clock at night, the usual time of going to bed. I was then in the habit of sleeping in my master's bed, to keep it wired for him until he would return from the country, and on this night, as usual, I went to his beed, but found myself so sleepy that I had not power to blow out my candle. I did not awake until morning, when I found . mpelf quite different to what I usually was. I found Mr. O'Brien in bed with me thatmorning, and I bawled and jumped out of bed, but he said if I held my tongue he would marry me. Ifound some change in my condition soon after. When I was passing through the shop soon after this, he asked - me what was the matter with me ? and I said he knew very well. He never slept with me but once. I (lid not complain to any one of what he had done, because I. was afraid. He never denied saying that he would marry me. He afterwards gave me a bottle, telling me to take a table-spoonful in the morning; one in the day, and one at night. He gave me no other advice. He gave me twelve pills also, and told me to be particular to bathe my feet with hot water. — Two pills were to be taken every night, and I was to heat a trencher, and put it to my bowels very hot. When I found that the medicine was doing me a great deal of injury, I went back again to Carrick, and told him the state I was in, and that I wanted some poison to destroy either myself or the child. I told him that I was with child by him, and he gave me some powders, which, he said, would du me good, and he said that 1 should get myself bled three times a week. I did not take any of the hist medicine, as I merely wanted to give it in evidence against 'inn. Judge MOORE said there was no evidence to prove that the medicine was deleterious, and it must be proved to have been given with an evil intent to come under the statute. After some discussion the indictment wag gnat-b -ed, and the prisoner was set at large, having been first bound over o❑ his own recognizance to stand his trial when called upon. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The betting yesterday served to show that some altera tions may be looked for without producing any immediate changes of importance. Frederick evidently improves, and will, no doubt, get to his old place. Rowton is short of friends, but Voltaire continues in demand, spite of a well authenticated report that his Noble owner is dange rously indisposed abroad. Lawn Sleeves and Pilgrim have retired almost out of the betting, and are not likely again to come into the market. The Cup betting was dull ; one thing, however, was obvious—namely, that Velocipede is going out Of favour (7 to 2, and no takers). The King's mare is-still talked of, and has been harked play or pay.

YARMOUTH (ISLE OF WIGHT), AUG. 23. —The Carn Brea Castle has completely broken up during last night's gale, and the coast is strewed with her wreck. Lieutenant CHARLES JONES has been re moved from the command of the Vigilant ketch, and _his name is ordered to be struck off the list of the navy. The cause of his dismissal from a service in which he has been engaged with honour fora period of 33 years, is attributed to his connexion with the circumstances under which four seamen of the Vigilant were recently seized in the streets of Lisbon, and confined by order of MmuEL, for being concerned in an attempt to convey treasure out of the kingdom, contrary to the existing regulations. It is said that Lieutenant JONES, when questioned by the Portu guese authorities, to avoid implicating the shippers, and in 61" perplexity of the moment, claimed the property as his own; and the whole case having been strongly represent ed to the British Government by Don MIGUEL, his Ma jesty's Ministers felt it their duty to dismiss this officer from the naval service. —Devonport Telegraph. COWES, AUG. 22.—0 n Wednesday our Noble Commodore returned to our roadstead, in his Falcon, and received a letter from the Vice-Commodore, communi cating a resolution of a special meeting, to present to him the beautiful compass, supported by an eagle, surmounted by a superb crown, made for the KING by M. PRESTON, and in consequence of his MAJESTY'S discontinuing his aquatic excursions, given to the Club. The resolution was propoSed by the Earl of ILCIIESTEIL, seconded by the ➢iarquis of ANGLESEA, and unanimously approved by all present. The woman WELLING, who, as we stated a few days ago, was committed from the New Bailey, Man chester, on . a charge of decoying away a young girl, and delivering her up for the purpose of seduction, has, after some difficulty, procured bail, and been set at liberty. The name of the present finisher of the law is CHESHIRE. When, therefore, a " family man" inquires after any brother of the craft who may have been hanged, he is informed " that be has gone to Cheshire, and has never been heard of since." EFFECTS OF THE LATE FLOODS IN SCOT LAND.—The loss of property on this occasion has neces sarily been much greater than in 1768, on account of the improved agriculture and general condition of the North. The demolition anti injury of the bridges and roads be twixt Aberdeen anti the Grampians, must amount to one hundred thousand pounds. Of the loss of crops and fields —for in many places the soil has been overlaid with stones and gravel to the depth of about two feet—we dare not hazard a calculation, and it will be some time yet ere it can be accurately told. The loss su.o.ained by the Duke of GORDON willit is stated, amount to 30,000/., and that by the Hon. Cul, GRANT, P about V?? 00 0/. nes; courier, AUSTRALIA. (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Behold me established at Sydney in a small house, for which I pay a rent of 2501. a year. For half the money you could get twice as good a house in any English country town. This excessive house rent is caused by the dearness of labour ; which enhances the cost of building ; for, either the builder will exact a rent propor tioned to his outlay, or (if he cannot obtain such a rent) he will not build. ' I now associated with the inhabitants of Syd ney, hoping, as I had become an idle man, to be of some service to the Colony, by directing my attention to public objects. To one I talked of introducing the cultivation of silk, to another of tobacco, to a third of sugar ; and I proposed to form societies for these - several purposes. But all my proposals were received with coldness. Those to whom I addressed myself knew, though they could not well say why ; that my schemes were exceedingly foolish. Seeing them_ appa rently so deaf to the calls of self interest, I en deavoured to find some good reason for their. conduct ; and my trouble in this respect was not thrown away. I puzzled myself a long while with questions of soil, and climate, and markets, and dUties, and: bounties. At length the true light broke upon me. The scarcity of labourers was an insuperable bar to any mode of cultiva tion that requires the employment of many hands ! I profess to be but little versed in the laws which govern production, distribution, and consumption ; but the fact was self-evident. I could not, hough I had been ever so reckless, have embarked my fortune in one of the above named speculations. Had I done so, I should have been ruined by the dearness of labour. But I could not do so ; there were not labourers enough for the purpose, at any rate of wages. I then turned my mind to plans of immigra tion, with a view at once to increase the number of working hands, and diminish the wages of latour. Many projects suggested themselves to my mind, and were discussed by some of the most intelligent colonists. But, one by one, we abandoned all as utterly worthless. This will surprise you ; but attend to me for a moment. Suppose that we had, by- some means or other, brought 20,000 industrious and skilful Chinese into the Colony. For • how long would they have remained labourers for hire ? Just until they had saved money wherewith to obtain grants of land, when they would have become employ ers of labour, supposing any to be had. A sud den revolution in their - condition would have increased the demand for labour just in the same proportion that it would have diminished the supply. The servants would 'have become mas ters, wanting servants. Nothing is more clear. Seeing that this colony could never be any thing but a half-barbarous, Tartatian, ill-culti vated, poverty-stricken wilderness, until in the course of nature, some three hundreds of years hence, the population should become:more dense, I began to hanker after that worst of human ills —the institution of slavery. How often had 1 cursed the memory of Las Cases, for bribing the . first planters of Hispaniola to spare the inhabi tants of that island, by suggesting that they might obtain slaves from Africa ! How scorn fully and indignantly had I abused the democrats of North America for cherishing the horrors of slavery ! How I had sighed, and even shed tears of compassion and anger, at the cruelties which I saw inflicted upon blacks at the Cape of Good Hope ! And yet, in spite of my reason and every better feeling of my nature, I brought myself to find excuses for the Spaniards, Ameri cans, and the Dutch ; aye, even to think that a few thousand negroes would be a great acquisi tion to New South Wales ! So they would ; and they would conduce to the wealth, and— deny it who will—even to the civilization of these colonial landowners. What made Lord Seaford a rich, well-educated, and agreeable gen tleman ?—His slaves in Jamaica ! Had slavery never existed, he would, in the natural course of things, have been a little West India farmer, perhaps scarcely able to read—certainly not fit to be a member of civilized society. What made the most able public men of North America ? Even their slaves, which conferred upon them riches, leisure, and instruction. Slavery has not produced any distinguished men in Southern Africa ; because shivery there is of a gentle kind —domestic, not predial. But the African far mer is highly civilized, when compared with the descendants of Spaniards, who inhabit the Pam pas of the Rio de la Plata ; and he owes what ever distinguishes him from the Tartar to the cheap labour of his slaves, which has prevented him from degenerating into a savage. In my heart I abhor the very name of slavery ; but this is my adopted country, and when I contemplate its future condition, 1 can conceive that slavery was revived for something else besides the pure gratification of man's . worst propensities. Sla very exists, not to gratify the hearts of bad men, but to fill the pockets of those who, without slavery, would be poor and insignificant. It will never be abolished by appeals to the hearts of slave owners. You might as well expect to make Mr. Buxton and Mr. Macaulay live upon vege tables, by spewing them the cruelties of Smith field. But this is almost a digression. I wonder whether it be possible to devise any means by which to establish, in a new country, such a proportion between people anti land as would render labour plentiful, and not extrava gantly clear. Here we have, it is true, a species of slave-labour—that .of convicts; and . to this, combined with the demand for produce created by the great expenditure of Government, the few rich men of New South Wales are wholly indebted for their fortunes. But the supply of cheap labour was always small and variable; and of - late the demand has so much increased, through the increase of landowners, that not the slightest dependence call be placed on convict labour as a permanent source of wealth. You may obtain, though not without trouble, one , two, or perhaps three conyicts, for a term of a few years ; but, that they will rob. you is almost certain ; that they will murder you is by no means improbable ; and that their labour will not be very profitable is beyond a doubt. What, then, -are we to do, to obtain that desirable proportion between the demand and sup ply of labour, without which , I say, no country can flourish'? Answer me that clues- Lion satisfactorily, and I will tell you that " Bo tau Bay " is an earthly paradise, This ; indeed , . would he a glorious discovery. Call - it au tn,- vention,- or what you will, must, whenever established in a country cursed with slavery, cause the natural, slow, easy death -of that hideous monster. Fancy the shivery of America and South Africa in a slow consumption, and Free Labour growing up, healthy, strong, - and. Cheerful, to supply its place! But lam dream- ing—Slavery will flourish in America and South Africa until there shall be no more land to he obtained for next to nothing ; and the inhabit ants of Australia must, for hundred of years to come, secretly long for a trade in human flesh. Tell me the time when the disprOportion be tween the demand and supply of labour in Ame rica, South Africa, and Australia, will ceasei;aind I will tell you when slavery will cease in America and South Africa, and when the Australians will become a rich, instructed, refined, an highly' civilized people. . . Did J not mention something about intellec tual society ? There is no' such thing in this country—at least, in the sense which vou'attach to the words. We are not barbarians ; the colony is too young for that. Not even the thieves of England have had time to forget the civilization, such as it was, which they brought from the old country. Our Free Settlers, whose emigration dates some time after that of the first convicts, are Englishmen and women, very little altered from what they were in England. Some generations hence their descendants will rro bably be as uncouth, and ignorant, and violent, as the great mass of North Americans. - Perhaps, as here are no dense forests to prevent them , from spreading, they may becothe its wild as the inhabitants of the Pampas, or as gross, lethargic, and stupid as the boors of the Cape of Good Hope ; who, by the bye, were compelled to spread by the Dutch mode of granting land.-- But, at prevent, they are English people, to all intents and purposes—of that class to which, ia England, they belonged. You will understand, however, that they were not of a class -particu larly intellectual, even whilst in England ; and it was not to be expected that they should cultivate their minds here. They came here for a very different purpose. Literary men, men of sci ence, philosophers, do not emigrate to new coun tries where their acquirements would be neither )rewarded nor admired. Sir Walter Scott, Sir Humphrey Davy, and Mr. Malthus, would not earn as much in this colony as three brawny ex perienced ploughmen; and though the- in ordinate vanity of a new people might be grati fied by the possession of them, they would be considered as mere ornaments, and would often be wholly neglected for things of greater utility. Unless, indeed, Mr. Malthus could create for us that proportion of which I have spoken above ; in that case we should load hint with riches, and erect statues to his honour in every marke:- place. Apropos of statues—professors of' the fine arts would be of no greater value here than writers and philosophers. I can now easily coat prebend why Copley and West emigrated from America, and why Cooper and Irving are be came citizens of Europe. And I have , said enough to explain why this country imports hardly any superior intellect. Of what class, then, you ask, have been tim great mass, of emigrants from England, not con victs ? Excellent people in their way, most of them- r farmers, army and navy surgeons, subal terns on half-pay, 'and a number of indescribable adventurers, from about the twentieth rank in England. They came here to live, .not - to en joy—to cat and drink, not to refine —to " settle," that is, to roll in a gross plenty for the body, but to starve their minds. To these must be added convicts, many of whom are become rich and influential ; and some, not exactly convicts, to whom England ceased to be a convenient resi dence. The English who live at Boulogne, some for cheapness, some from misfortune, and some from fear, would offer, I should think, a fair sample of the material which composed so ciety in New South Wales ; I say composed, in the past tense, because the bustling, thriving settler . of New South Wales is a companion, rather ignorant though he be, far away, prefer able to the not more enlightened, melancholy. English sluggard of Boulogne. To form n au e conception of the " upper classes" here, suppose all the natives of France annihilated, and the whole country belonging to the English residents of Boulogne. In that case there would be an almost perfect resemblance between those Eng lishmen who, across a narrow channel, can see their own country, and those who, at its, anti podes, look upon the Pacific Ocean. Man-,-how often must it be repeated—is the creature of cir cumstances. In likening these, my fellow,colo nists, to the English outcasts in France, I spe a k only of their original composition. They had nothing to lose, and they have gained immensely, by the change in their con dition. This is true, both in a pecuniary and in a moral sense. A poor man who emigrates to New South Wales may become comparatively rich ; and, though he should be ever so idle by habit, he must become industrious or starve. My case is an exception, to the ordiw a y course of things here. I did not come to make money, but to invest money made by my grandfather. This was a capital error on my part ; but to proceed. The poor Lieutenant, whose miser able pittance would but just support him in England, whose wife and children were a bur then,and whose life was passing away b e t ween the anxieties of poverty and the slor l t w d o a p y r - i day-dreams of brandy and water, becomes here indep en d ent : wealthy in grain rand cattle ; a t thousands of acres ; a master of servants, such as they are ; an uxurious husband and a- fond father, because his wife and children, instead of being a burthen, are of infinite value to him ; and an excellent member of society, such as it is, because be is deeply interested in the well being of the community. What a contrast with the lazy, pick -tooth, e pier fretful lounger of -th at Boulogne ! But this is, the bright side. We must not forget the original composition. I will n ow briefly describe the actual condition of our best Society." TIPPERARY.
