He directed his 1 0 ,,, to row towards the place ; but owing to its being , lioWater, they' could not get nea r it. M r .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. On the 25th of July, the driver of the hackney coach 1,191 was charged by the Honorary Secretary of the Society against Cruelty, with having furiously driven the horses, and having for a long distance vio lently whipped one of them under the belly. The offence was distinctly stated and sworn to; but Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, did not deem this cruelty, and dismissed the complaint. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Wednesday Mr. J. R. Farre, M.D., of No. 4, Charterhouse-square, came to the office, and, ad dressing the sitting Magistrate, G. W. MARRIOTT, Esq., stated that he had an application to make of a private nature, as it might defeat the ends of justice if it was made public. Mr. MARRIOTT then desired the office to be cleared of strangers, but said he would allow the re porters for the public press to remain, on their pledge that they would report none of the proceedings, if the circumstances were as stated by Dr. Farre. A promise was immediately given to that effect. Yesterday, on application to the Magistrates, lie said he had no objection whatever for the whole affair to go forth to the public. The application of Dr. Farre was as follows :—He stated that he was the administrator to the estate of Mrs. Johanna O'Keefe, an elderly lady, who died on the Bth of last June, at her lodgings, at the house of Mr. R. Carter, a master-builder, 91, Drury-lane. He had evidence to prove that the deceased had in her desk, about the time of her death, the sum of 225/. in Bank of England notes, a few sovereigns, and a bill of exchange, due next October, for 200/. On his taking possession of the property after her death, the Bank-notes were missing, and there only remained in the desk the bill for 2001., and four so vereigns and a half. He had investigated the circum stances strictly, and he had grounds of the strongest suspicion that the landlady, Mrs. Carter, and her son, John Carter, had stolen the Bank-notes out of the l desk of the deceased after her death. Mr. MARRIOTT desired Dr. Farre to sta'e the grounds of his suspicion. Dr. Farre said, that the deceased had property in the West Indies, and received remittances from Barbadoes. He had obtained from her bankers, in London, the number of the Bank-notes that had been paid to her, and he had traced the greater part of these very notes to have been paid into the Bank of England since her death, endorsed in the name and hand-writing of John Carter. Dr. Farre here produced a number of documents, to prove the receipt of the money by the deceased, and an account of the numbers of the bank-notes paid into the Bank of England, with Carter's endorse ment. The applicant further stated, that Mrs. Carter, who had the key of the deceased's desk, had denied having opened it after death ; but on searching among the papers, he had discovered a memorandum of Mrs. O'Keefe's death, in the hand-writing of John Carter, which clearly proved that the desk musk have been opened after her decease, and which he supposed must have been left there by accident by a party who had opened the desk. Warrants were immediately issued against Mrs. Elizabeth Carter and her son John Carter, and yes terday they were apprehended by Woodberry and Handley, and placed at the bar before Mr. MARRIOTT. Mr. Harmer's clerk attended for the prosecution, who intimated to the Magistrate that they bad sent to Dr. Farre to inform him of the apprehension of the prisoners, but he was from home, and the mes senger had not been able to find him, as he had gone out on his professional business : there were, how ever, several witnesses in attendance. Miss Ann Springwear stated, that she resided at No. 11, Charterhouse-square, with Dr. Farre's fa ther-in-law. She knew the deceased Mrs. O'Keefe very intimately and confidentially for many years.— She died on the Bth of June. Witness had seen her about a week previous to her death. She was in the habit of keeping a quantity of bank -notes in her desk. She had 225/. in bank-notes in the desk on the Bth of last April ; she had since received a bill of exchange for 2001., which was due next October, which was also deposited there. The deceased never would allow any person to change a bank-note for her but witness, and she had told her she never al lowed any one else. Mr. MARRIOTT—How long had Mrs. O'Keefe lodged at the prisoner's house ? Witness—She went to lodge there on the 2d of April last. Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you know the reason of her going to lodge at Mrs. Carter's ? Witness—l be lieve she had a frierd who lodged in the same house, and she had formerly lodged with Mrs. Carter. Witness continued—She was informed of the death of the deceased on the afternoon of the day she died, and immediately went to the house in Drury lane. Mrs. Carter's first expression to her was, that Mrs. O'Keefe was dead, and before her death she was extremely angry with her for employing a nurse to attend. Witness asked her for the key of the deceased's desk, as she knew it contained mo ney, and intended to take it to Dr. Farre. Mrs. Carter replied the key was below, and she would bring it her, which she did. On opening the desk she expected to put her hands immediately on the bank-notes; but they were all gone, the papers were all in confusion, and there was only left in money four sovereigns and a half, and the bill due in Oc tober for 2001. Witness remarked to Mrs. Carter that she expected to find a parcel of consequence for Dr. Farre, but it was not there. She replied, that as they were merely papers, they could not be of much consequence. Witness did not say a word about any bank -notes, as she did not know whether it would be right ; nor did Mrs. Carter allude to any bank notes during their conversation. Mr. MARRIOTT—Did any further conversation pass between you ? Witness—Yes ; Mrs. Carter said that Mrs. O'Keefe had told her that she had no money, but that she had a bill of exchange for 2001., which became due in October, and she would then pay for her lodgings. Mr. MARRIOTT—Had you received any informa tion that Mrs. O'Keefe was so dangerously ill ? Witness—l had not. I was surprised at hearing of her death. She did not appear dangerously ill on the Monday I saw her, which was a week previous to her death. Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you suppose if she felt worse she would have sent for you ? Witness—l have not the slightest doubt of it. Mrs. Carter said F. he did not think it necessary to send for me, and as she was too ill to attend herself, she had employed a nurse, which made Mrs. O'Keefe so angry. Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you know of what complaint the deceased died 2—Mr. Frederick John Farce, son of the prosecutor, here said that it had since b een ascertained that he had died of an inflammation of the membrane of the lungs. Mr. MARRIOTT asked the prisoners if they wished to ask any questions of the witness. Mrs. Carter—l wish to ask her whether she has not heard Mrs. O'Keefe say that she intended to make me a compliment ? Witness—l have heard her say so. Mrs. Carter—Do you remember Mrs. O'Keefe saying that you and I would quarrel before the year was out ? Witness—Never in my life. Mr. MARRIOTT—Did you ever observe Mrs. O'Keefe evince any particular grateful feeling to wards Mrs. Carter, so that you would imagine she intended to make her a handsome remuneration ? Witness—Certainly not; quite the contrary. She paid 13s. per week for her lodgings, and Mrs. Carter applied to me to ask Mrs. O'Keefe to give her Is. per day more on account of her attendance. I thought she ought to have something more for her attend ance, and mentioned the circumstance to Mrs. O'Keefe, which Made her very angry, and she said that she thought 13s. per week was quite sufficient. A bill and receipt for Mrs. O'Keefe's lodgings from the 2d April to the Bth of June was also shown to the Magistrate, which had been paid by Dr. Farre since her decease. William Woodberry, an officer of this establish ment, stated that when he apprehended Mrs. Carter he informed her of the charge against her. She then voluntarily told him that !be said. lady had made her a present of the balik . -notes before she died, and made her promise Inv to say how much the amount was, or any thing about it, to any one. Indeed, she added, that the ohrlady had given her the whole of her property : the bill for 2001. she had given to her little eirl, but the child could not read it, and it was put balk in her desk. Witness 1)1(11 said to her, " 61ippme any of the notes were traced into the Bank with the name of Carter endorsed on them, what would you say ?" She replied that she would say it was all right, for the property was given to her. Mr. MARRIOTT inquired what evidence there was again the son ?—Mr. Frederick Farre, jun., stated that to his certain knowledge most important evi dence would be produced against the son, but the witnesses had not had sufficient notice to attend. Mr. M4RRIOTT asked the prisoners if they wished to say any thing ?—Mrs. Carter made a statement similar to the evidence of Woodberry, and added, that there was a gold watch which Mrs. O'Keefe had given her, which she had given up to Dr. Farm Mr. MARRIOTT said, he should remand the pri sorters for further examination. The prisoners asked if they could not be admitted to bail. Mr. MARRIOTT replied in the negative, and said he made no distinction of parties. The prisoners were then committed to Tothill fields. THAMES POLI CE.OFFI CE. RECRIMINATIONS EXTRAORDINARY.—TWO old women, both of them widows of soldiers, killed in the Burmese war, appeared before Mr. BRODERIP, one charging the other with an assault, during the detail of which the most laughable recriminations arose between them. The complainant, Mrs. Salmon, described, with minuteness, the beating she had received from the defendant, Mrs. Foherty, and presenting her rear to the Magistrate, she was about to show a certain pro minent part of her person, which she described as being " scored like pork," from the application of a red-hot gridiron. The exhibition was, however, dis pensed with. - Mrs. Foherty did not deny being obliged " to stand in her own defence," and in extenuation said, " what do you think she says of me, your Worship; she says, as how that I kept company with a large baboon in Indy, and that I has two children, the very image of monkeys, when every body knows they are the real production of my husband—God rest his soul !" Mrs. Salmon—You had a couple of black children —you know you had. Mrs. Foherty—You lie you ould jade, didn't you have six husbands. Mr. BRODERIP-Six husbands. Mrs. Foherty.— Yes, your Worship ; and I am sinking with shame when I tell it ; five of 'ent were black fellows, but they are all dead, she took care of that, and she is DOW looking out for the seventh. Mrs. Salmon.--Don't believe her your Honour; slie was drummed out of quarters for you know what. Mrs. Foherty.—lt's a lie for you to say so, you ould broken down black fellow's wife. Mrs. Salmon—Arrah then, I suppose you'll be denying that you went through the regiment; black fellows, drummers, and drum-major. Mrs. Foherty—Faith then I wont; and 'tis I what's got a good character from the regiment. Mr. BRODERII'—From the regiment ! Mrs. Foherty—Yes, Sir; from the regiment—Colonel and all. Mrs. Salmon—What's more, your Honour, mother Foherty says I killed all my husbands by poisoning 'em, and sure they all died of the cholery. The ladies were disposed to enter into their past lives a little more at length; but their history was stopped by being required to enter into bail to keep the peace towards each other. UNION-HALL A novel sort of application was yesterday made at this office by a genteel-looking young man, rela• five to a sum of money that he alleged had been stolen from him while asleep at a tavern in South wark. The applicant said, that he spent the preceding night at a tavern along with some acquaintances, and having drank rather freely he fell asleep, and on awakening from his slumber discovered that several sovereigns had been abstracted from his pocket. He at first thought it was a " lark," and that his money would be restored to him, but having waited with the utmost patience for its restoration, and finding no inclination on the part of those who had taken it to deliver it up, he declared his intention of pro ceeding to extremities if the joke were carried too far. At length the person who had actually taken the money was pointed out to him, and on applying for its restoration he refused to give it back. The applicant added, that the person who treated him thus had also taken a pair of scissors while he was asleep, and completely divested one side of his head of all the hair it contained. The applicant here ex hibited the part that had been shorn, and the con trast it presented to the other side, upon which was a profusion of hair, was ludicrous in the extreme. The Magistrate (Mr. SWABEY) asked him what he could do for him ? Applicant—l want to know whether I can't have a warrant against the person who has my money ? Mr. SWABEY—Do you charge him with felony— with having robbed you ? Applicant—l conceive it is a felony ; but what would be the consequence if he was convicted of such an offence ? _ _ Mr. SWABEY-Why, the consequence would be, in all probability, that he would be either hanged or transported : but, added the Magistrate, surely you don't intend to charge your companion with having robbed you ? You admit having been intoxicated at the time; and the circumstance of the lopping off your hair indicates that it was what is usually termed a " lark" altogether. The applicant was silent for about a minute, appa-. rently in deep meditation how he should act in the business,—whether he should proceed to extremities with the person against whom he applied, or let the matter drop. Upon reflection, he adopted the latter step, and walked out of the office, having excited no little amusement at the novelty of his application, as well as the figure he cut with the loss of his hair.

MARRIAGE.—The following picture is from a newspaper published 70 years ago : of course in the present age of moral and intellectual improvement the ' picture is merely an historical curiosity--" nous avons changj tout vela :"--If you see a man and a woman, with little or no occasion often finding fault!, and correct ing one another in company, you may be sure they are man and wife. If you see a gentleman and lady in the same coach, in profound silence, the one looking at one side, the other at the other side, never imagine they mean any harm to each other—they are already honestly mar ried. If you see a lady accidentally let fall her glove or handkerchief, and a gentleman that is next her kindly telling her of it, that she may take it up—man and wife. If you see a lady presenting a gentleman with something sidewise, at arm's length, with her head turned another way, speaking to him with a look and accent different from that she uses to others—it is her husband. If you see a man and a woman walking in the fields in a direct line, twenty yards distant from one another, the man strides over a stile, and goes on sans ceremonie, you may swear they, are man and wife without fear of perjury. If you see a lady whose beauty and carriage attract the eyes and engage the respect of all the company except a certain gentleman who speaks of her in rough accent, it is her husband, who married her for love, but now slights her. If you see a gentleman that is courteous, obliging, and good-natured to every body except a certain female who lives under the same roof with him, to whom be is un reasonably cross and ill -natured—it is his wife. If you see a male and female continually jarring, checking, and thwarting each other, yet under the kindest appellations imaginable, as my dear, 8:c. —man and wife.—From the London British% Chronicle of May 1 ; 1761.

SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

Several engagements were made yesterday at the odds subjoined. The St. Leger betting shows a marked improvement in Voltaire, who has plenty of backers, the layers of odds being very timid. Rowton keeps steady, but the business done on this stakes was very limited.

BURY. MARYLEBONE. Ist Innings lll Ist Innings 74 2d Ditto 66 2d Ditto SI Nothing could exceed the anxiety exhibited this morn ing as to the issue of the match. The country folks backed the " Lunneners," as they thought they were knowing ones. The result caused many a long face amongst the Pastoralities of Suffolk, and some were heard to ex claim, " It's all gammon—it's a made up thing between Bury and themselves ;" which really did not appear so, as several of the amateurs of this town are heavy losers. In one instance there has been 401. to 301. paid six times over by a gentleman who is thought to be a real knowing one. So elated are the Bury Club at their victory, that they have challenged the Marylebone for another match, permitting them to include all England in their Club, with the exception of their own county (Suffolk.) RICHELIEU, A TALE OF THE COURT OF FRANCE.-This new and striking story of the French Court, which is exciting so much interest, commences with the last year of the reign, as it may be termed, of the Cardinal de RICHELIEU, who governed not only Louis XIII., but all France with a despotic and resistless sway. Among the numerous characters introduced are the KING his CONSORT, ANNE of AUSTRIA ; her Majesty's Dame d' Honneur, CLARA D ' HAUTEFORD, a former flame of the King's ; the Due D'ORLEANS ; the Cardinal's great friend and coadjutor, CHAVIGNI; their corrupt tool, LAFEMAS, the Marquis de FONTRAILLES ; CINQ MARS; DE THou, &c. The ostensible hero is the Count de BLENAU, cham berlain to the Queen ; the heroine Mademoiselle de BEAU MONT. THE SECTARIAN, OR THE CHURCH AND THE MEETING-HOUsE.—Ill reference to this popular Work, which has produced so great a sensation in the reli gious world, the Edinburgh Literary Gazette observes, " The author of the Sectarian has shown an intimate knowledge of human nature, and a power of unfolding the passions and unseen workings of the heart, in a great va riety of situations, and in numerous combinations of cir cumstances. He engages our interest at once, and his characters are distinct, well marked, and in good keeping. He is a perfect master of the slang and cant of our modern Saints, and from the discoveries which he snakes, he must have been behind the scenes, and seen their goings on when they met in deep divan, as well as traced with an accurate observation, and a discriminating judgment, the mischief they are doing among individuals and families. The Commissioners of Land Revenue have just granted to the Duke of BUCCLEUGH the renewal of the lease of the ground near to Richmond-terrace, White hall, on which stands the mansion occupied by the late Duchess of BUCCLEUGH, with a garden attached to it, ex tending in front to the line of Whitehall. This house and grounds came into the possession of the Duke on the death of his grandmother, the late Duchess. The young Duke has, it is understood, resolved to have the present edifice pulled down, and a modern house erected on the same site more suitable to his rank and fortune. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. N We have before explained our views on the subject of the final arral.!genient of Greece : we would, for many reasons, ree.):nmend the exten of the frwitier to a line drawn from the Gulf of Negropont, or rather from Volo to Arta ; but we do not think that this is a point upon which our negotiator should insist as a sine qua non. We wish the internal affitirs of Greece were not even more difficult to settle than the geographical extent of the country. We find, at this moment, when the fear of their in veterate foe should unite all hearts, the Govern ment, the military, and the people, in a state of general opposition and hostility to each other. They arc like Milton's uncongenial elements conflicting in the original chaos. We know not what intelligence may reach our Ministers, but we learn from undoubted authority, that Capo d'lstria has managed matters so ill in his late extraordinary, not to say unwarrantable, expedi tion into Northern Greece, that in many places his troops have revolted, and at Missolonghi they actually fired upon his brother, who has been appointed by him Captain-General north of the Isthmus. Nor, according to our own intel ligence, does the feeling of the troops nearer home seem much more friendly to the President. In order, probably, to overawe the free delibera tions of the Representative Assembly now sitting, or about to meet at Argos, he had moved a thousand men to that town ; when, lo ! even these thousand elect turned round upon him in open mutiny ; so much so, that he has been obliged to request aid from the French -comman der to maintain the public peace ; and all this is supposed, by competent judges, to have arisen entirely from his own faulty government. With respect to the negotiations going on relative to Greece, we can communicate nothing positively. We should fear, from past experience, that the Turks are not very tractable; and this surely might make the Greeks more humble in their pretensions, unless they mean to impose an impossibility on their friends. The negotiation between the Porte and Russia is another affair, but one of equal difficulty. We do hope indeed that the English and French Ambassadors will be able to prevail upon the Divan to consent to negotiate with the Emperor Nicholas, under their protection, and with their assistance. And in that case, the best proof of the boasted moderation of Russia will be found in the manner in which she shall deport herself on receiving such overtures. It would not be consistent with the general policy of Europe— it would be contrary to the declaration of the Duke of Wellington—to suffer Turkey to be extinguished as an independent state : and yet if Greece is to have all the southern part of Turkey in Europe, and Russia all the northern, we do not see what will remain.— Times. Mr. Dawkins, who accompanied Mr. Gordon to the Dardanelles, returned to Egina on the 21st. According to letters of that date, the Porte has given the command of a corps destined to operate against the Greeks on the continent to the Albanian Chief Silihdarpoda. Part of his force, consisting of 20 bairacks or companies, along with some Albanians, has relieved the Turks who occupied a position near Zeitouni, and who have directed their march towards Ma cedonia, with the intention, in is understood, to join the army of the Grand Vizier. These letters do not mention the surrender of Thebes, which is reported in the German papers to have been taken by the Greeks. On the 14th of June, Grissiotti was attacked in his intrenchments at Aniforiti, by a Turkish force in front, and by a corps of cavalry sent by Omer Pacha to the rear of his position. The Greeks, however, de fended themselves bravely and repulsed the Turks with the loss of 250 men. Vasso con- tinues in his intrenchments on the margin of the plain of Athens. On the Bth the Turkish gar rison of Athens made a sortie against Vasso's troops, posted in the convent of St. John, but were driven back with the loss of 80 men and two pieces of cannon. All the Greek corps are weak, and greatly in want of necessaries. A spirit of discontent prevails to a great extent among them : They are particularly dissatisfied with Augustin Capo d'lstria, who had been in vested by his brother, the President, with full powers, to act as a substitute in the provinces of the Greek continent. This appointment has given offence to Ypsilanti, who commands in the Eastern quarter of Greece, and from him Augustin did not experience a very agreeable reception. General Dantzel commands the troops in Western Greece, during the absence of General Church, who is gone to Egina. Colonel Maugin, who went to the Morea with the French Expedition, is to have the command of the regular Greek troops.—lbid. A letter from the Mauritius, detailing the present situation of the island of Madagascar, furnishes matter for deep reflection, and will ex cite a powerful interest among the friends to the abolition of the slave trade. None of these can have forgotten the treaty made with Radaina, the late King of that island, concluded by Sir Robert Farquhar, we believe in 1820, by which the gradual extinction of the slave-trade in that part of the world was provided for in the most effectual manner, by closing the great slave market of Madagascar against all nations. Up to the period of Radama's death, which took place about 18 months ago, matters seemed to be progressively in train for accomplishing the ob jects of the treaty, and it was attended with these further advantages,—that this noble island, which is of greater extent than the whole of Great Britain, became civilized and improved ; and the growth of French influence in those seas, to check which was one of the objects of the treaty of Paris, was prevented. This treaty also rendered unnecessary the expensive squa drons of ships of war and guarda costas for the prevention of the slave-trade. It afforded too, a safe asylum to the mariner and merchant, Madagascar being on the high road to India, in the passage either through the Indian Ocean or the Mozambique Channel, when vessels were driven to seek shelter or get supplies of water and provisions. All these advantages, however, are now in the utmost danger of being at once annihilated, and cir cumstances seem to threaten a rapid return to the old system. In addition to the letter from Mauritius, we obtain from another quarter a few hints of the secret influence which has been em ployed to accelerate this change. There is but too much cause to apprehend that there is a " slave party" at the bottom of the new hostility shown to the English Government by the reign ing Sovereign at Madagascar ; and that it is more or less excited by French influence, which is extending there in the same proportion that British influence declines. There are three French agents now in the island, all of whom are suspected to be co-operating in this work.— The principal of these is M. Robin, who fills the post of French Ambassador at Tannanarive, the capital. While Mr. Hastie (the late Eng. lisp Resident) lived, who fulfilled the duties of the situation with singular zeal and intelligence, he contrived to keep M. Robin in check, but he has now become powerful, and is suspected to have brought nn the late change materially by his intrigues and preponderance. His coad jutors are M. Dayot, who is resident at Tama rive, on the coast, and M. Blancard, who is ge nerally engaged in travelling, and keeps up a constant communication between the capital and the coast. Their conduct is at least liable to just suspicion, and the facts stated in the letter before referred to afford strong presumptive evi dence to the same effect. This change is, with out doubt, deeply to be regretted, as well for interests truly British, for those of humanity in general, as for the sake of Madagascar itself, whose inhabitants may be again plunged into barbarism and slavery.—lbid. In addition to the accounts brought by the last French Papers, of important advantages oh - _ _ tained by the Greeks in the Westtrn district of Livadia, we have been favoured with the pernsal of a private letter, entitled to much considera , tion from the station and character of the writet,. The letter notices the prevalence of rumours cif the Grecian successes already alluded to, and considers them entitled to attention ; it goes on to mention the design attributed to the Pre sident, Capo &Istria, of an immediate invasion of Negropont (the ancient Eubcea), and his avowed determination to make the attempt, even with the knowledge of the fact, that this or any other maritime demonstration will necessarily be looked upon with jealousy, if not direct op posed, by the British Admiral, Sir Pultevey Malcolm. We apprehend we were the first W call public attention to the character and objects of the Greek President ; and the opinion of the gentleman to whose co►mnunication we have so often alluded, and who has the very best oppor. tunities of commanding authentic information, on which to form a judgment, are exactly to the effect as some time back stated—namely, that the President, under an appearance of devoted Hellenism, is in effect the creature of Russia. Placed as he is, at the head of a Government, to the existence of which, for a single month, the coun tenance and protection of some great European Power is indispensable, it is not to be supposed that his actual material strength is of much im- portance in the scale ; at the same time it is quite obvious, that by plausible pretensions skilfully put forward, and embarrassing pretexts urged at critical moments, he has ample means of protracting, or even frustrating negotiations, should such be the object of that colossal em pire of which he is presumed to be the puppet. The letter to which we are so much indebted does not go so far as to impute such intentions directly to the President, but its whole tendency evidently leans to that supposition ; and we have no doubt of the fact, that he is an object of zealous observation to the Diplomatists who have lately experienced so distinguished a recep tion in a capital not proverbial for its com plaisance to the Ambassadors of the infidel Franks. We do not insist upon the writer's opinions on certain subjects forming the sequel of his communication ; his apprehensions of the evils consequent upon Russia's establishing a permanent footing in the Mediterranean, are, we think, overstrained ; and as little can we sympathise with his forebodings on the pro spective results of any diminution or dismember ment of the European Provinces of the Com mander of the Faithful.—Morning Chronicle. The History of the Catholic Association, by Mr. Wyse, ought to be studied by those who have at heart the improvement of Ireland. Re ligion no longer affords a handle for oppression or disturbance ; but Mr. Wyse does not fail to throw occasionally a valuable light on those cir cumstances which enabled religion to become so formidable an agent in Ireland, and which cir cumstances, it is to be remembered, still exist in all their force. When people talk of the healing influence of time, they speak like parrots by row —as well talk to a man with a gangrened limb of the healing influence of time. Powerful drastics must be applied, and excrescences must be lopt off. The constitution of the patient must have fair play. When th e necessary remedies have been applied, we may then recommend time and patience. Speaking of the mission of Mr. Lawless to the North, and the consequences which were likely to follow from it, Mr. Wyse observes, " Forbearance has its limits, and these limits are easily passed in the North. The men here brought into collision were not like the men he had 'lately been witnessing—the Men of Clare ;—neither were their wrongs, nor their quarrels, nor their hatreds, as theirs. This was not a question between an old friend and a po pular leader—between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Fitzgerald ; but it was a deadly and inextin guishable national feud, between two parties, the one masters, the other servants; one op pressors, the other oppressed—burning with mutual detestation—hatred by remembrance of centuries of injury, and closing gradually on each other, in the full conviction that they could not separate without blows." Speaking of the Ribbon-men, Mr. Wyse observes—" As it is the common lot of all Secret Institutions to grow Nyorse every day, the Ribbon Society, blameable and mischievous as it was in its ori ginal formation, became gradually more objec tionable and dangerous as it extended, and acts of outragewere latterly amongst the fatal consequences which marked its way. The Catholic Board at that period, and the Catholic Association at various intervals since, published and circulated addresses which tended in a remarkable manner, in concurrence with the appeals and exertions of individuals, to counteract the progress of this dangerous institution. But they were not so fortunate or so effective as perfectly to annihilate it. It exists still in many counties, in its full vigour ; and it is greatly to be apprehended, that in consequence of the dissolution of the As sociation (the only power which has any real in fluence in repressing it), it will now spread out, unchecked and unrepressed, over the greater part of the north and north-west of Ireland." So much for the north of Ireland. Speaking of the movements of Messrs. Steele and O'Gor man Mahon in the south, he observes— ,, They came into a territory, not in the hands of an enemy, with no opposition to encounter, mid with no other task to perform than to teach the people a better appreciation of their own inte rests. Their influence, too (particularly after the recent election), was unbounded. When ever they appeared in the turbulent districts the factious laid by their animosities, and in great crowds flocked to the chapels to embrace, in the spirit of forgiveness, their most inveterate foes. It was certainly a striking sight to see their chiefs on either side advance up the steps of the altar, and embrace each other in the presence of their priests and their respective factions, and call God solemnly to witness, that henceforth, for the good of their soul, and the cause of their country, they would dwell together in amity and ~~ .~
