For Mr. Daniel O'Connell to brooch the topic of " rancour,'' " national antipathy," " vile and virulent animosities of mlarian hate nod bigotry !"—that Mt. Daniel O'Connell, we repeat, should light Upon such phrases accidentally, would indieatc that he was in a run of bad luck for the time ; but that he should Voluntarily, and with his eyes open, take them up and handle them before the whole world, proves him to be down right frail , tic. This unhappy person slavers away upon the expo= dienev of using all the efforts in the power of hitnself, the noble fag-ender of the Peerage, Lord Cloncurry, to whom he writes, and` their congenial spirits of the rebel Association, " to prevent the horrible evils with which. the Tories threaten them, and to procure all the guarantees they can for the protection of their pro perties, lives, and liberties !" Here - is more down right, stark-staring, madness 1 of which it is one of the most frequent and notorious symptoms, as all medical authorities agree, that the wretched lunatic suspects innocent people of conspiring against his life, property, freedom, Ste., and begins to rail at, or very often to shoot or stab them in self-defence. In what other character,but that of maniac is it possible for O'Connell even to glance at " threats being held out of horrible evils ?" or at the necessity of protecting " life and property ?" What are the evils with which Tories threaten the Papists of Ireland ? Do they burn them in their beds ? or, in parties of 10, 20, or 30 ruffians, attack one or two helpless Roman Catholics, and beat their brains out, or leave them senseless by the road-side ? Do they clamour and disturb the peace of society for the avowed purpose of robbing Roman Catholics orthe - ir property, or driving them, by dint of intimidation, out of Ireland ? What new h laws do the English nation or the Irish Protestants call for, to change the whole distribution of land, and the old relations between Protestant and Roman Ca tholic ? When have Englishmen or Protestants dated to announce " a general and bloody rebellion" through out either island, provided the Sovereign should exer cise his or her prerogative in a manner not favourable to the views of a particular faction ? When have Englishmen or Protestants menaced a forcible dismem berment of the State, unless certain political changes in the country dictated by themselves should be passed into laws, and vest in their hands an absolute power of trampling on all their fellow-subjects who are not of their own religious creed ? The blindness of this frenzy, or the wickedness of this hypocrisy, surpasses what we have 'ever read or heard of. All things, hoWever, as human experience teaches, have a cause, could we only discover it, and in the present instance Mr. Daniel O'Connell helps us to the origin of his own seeming hallucination. The subscription for doing " Justice to Ireland" has suddenly shot up into the master-grievance . of that many grievanced land. That subscription is now de signated by the, deep-mouthed Daniel as " an open, avowed, and most profligate conspiracy against all the Liberal Irish Representatives" who were re turned to Parliament at the late election ; and then a corresponding exhibition of O'Connellism follows. In the first place, it is no conspiracy ; a subscription to enforce the law of the land, by defraying the unavoid able expenses of the legal process which that law pre scribes, is no conspiracy, the term " conspiracy" being limited by lawyers to a preparation for one or more " illegal" acts. 2d. It is a gross falsehood to assert that the subscription has for its object to support peti tions against " all" the Radical " Irish Representa tives." The subscribers aim at nothing but the support of such petitions as are fully warranted by the facts of particular cases, wherein certain parties have been returned by unlawful means, and in fraud of those who ought to have been returned. 3d. No resolution of an O'Connell majority in the House of Commons can make that law which the Le gislature has not enacted, or metamorphose that into conspiracy, against whit - lithe law has directed neither penalty nor prohibition. 4th. It is sufficiently mani fest, from the fury of the Radical Press, and from the confused and morbid ferocity of the Agitator's own language, that the subscription is doing its desired work—that we have •hit the nail on the head—that the enemy are frightened into hysterics ; and that if the Conservatives had before no reason for persisting in their course, abundant motives have now been fur nished for increased and indefatigable exertion. Mr. Daniel O'Connell says that we are bought—aye, our very souls—by the Conservatives. May be so, but who told him so critical a secret ? He avows that we are not harmless —he knows that we are venal : why has he not bid for us himself ? Why should he not try, at least, when he is so well aware that we have no sense of honour or principle, to prevent our closing with an offer even from him ? Why should he not take courage and tempt us ? Verily, Daniel, with all thy tricks, thou art little better than a despica ble blockhead.— Times. A most important and interesting letter from Mr. O'Connell to Lord Cloncurry, urging the propriety and wisdom of calling a meeting in Dublin of the Irish Liberal Peers and Members of the House of Com mons, previously to the assembling of Parliament, appears in the day's paper. The object of the pro posed meeting is to consider and resolve upon the measures which ought to be particularly pressed upon the attention of the Government and Parliament in the ensuing Session. A more judicious and effective means could scarcely be devised to make the wishes of the real Representatives of Ireland respected, and their claims admitted by the British Senate, than thus to assemble, deliberate, and decide upon the couse of action best celculated to promote the good of their country. The reasons indicating the neces sity of this proceeding are most ably and convincingly enforced in Mr. O'Connell's letter, which also sug gests measures for the adoption of the meeting, which, if ultimately resolved upon, must produce a powerful effect on the proceedings of the approaching Parliament. When we laid before our readers, last Tuesday, a fratifying proof o f 'th e d ecrease o f cr i me in Ireland, ounded upon the returns to the constabulary depart ment of offences actually Committed, we stated that we were at a loss to imagine to what new device the Tory organs would resort to get rid of this irrefragable evi dence of imprOvement. We hazarded, however, a prediction that the Times would in all probability ac cuse Colonel Shaw Kennedy of making up false re turns ; and this is precisely the course that our vera cious, decent, and consistent Contemporary has taken ! The Times of yesterday (maddened by the production of documents utterly subversive of its daily statements for the last three months, and wholly out of the reach of its absurd objections to the argument founded upon the lightness of the calendars, and the statements of the twelve judges,) has the almost incredible harui hood to describe the constabulary returns, signed by the Inspector -General himself, as "paltry tales,fibri. cated for fraudulent objects." The Times adds, " We have the strongest reasons to be convinced that the manner in which those returns are prepared, and the spirit and animus which direct them, are calculated to stifle the votcc of truth, and to cheat the people of this country." And again—" The official reports, garbled and dis torted, are A LIE." But this is mere sweeping as sertion : the Times condescend.; to be circumstantial. To the stipendiary magistrates and chief constables, who report once a month the amount of crimes com mitted, hints arc given that the lighter they can make their reports the more agreeable to the Government. Again, they are ordered not to report trivial 'natters, leaviu-g , t o these O'Connell journeymen-to decide (in a way the most agreeable to their master), what is or is not trivial." The reader has only to keep in view, while he glances his eye over these extracts, that the returns, thus audaciously assailed, are doccuments signed by Colonel Shaw Kennedy, and made up from the reports of officers appointed by him, and under his exclusive direction and control. The ignorance dis played by the Times is on a par with its mendacity. The monthly reports to the constabulary arc not drawn up by the stipendiary magistrates, who are ap pointed by the Lord-Lieutenant, but by the chief Constables exclusively, officers with whose appoint ments the Lord-Lieutenant has no more to do than with the Bens-d'armerie of Paris. So utterly and flagitiously _untrue are all the assertions that have been made from time to time, by this des perate print, with respect to the interference of Lord Mulgrave in the police department, that net a single chief-constable, constable, or sub-constable in the entire force, consisting as it does of upwards of 7,000 men, has been nomtnated to his office except by the Inspector-General, Colonel Shaw Kennedy. The choice or rejection of the persons applying to be taken into the constabulary has been left absolutely and entirely at the discretion of that Gallant Officer ; the Lord Lieutenant, we are enabled to state, has not, in a solitary instance, interfered so far as even to recommend an individual to Colonel Kennedy 's no tice or favour. But we are enabled to throw still more light, upon the atrocious fabrications of this shame less journal. The Bill for establishing the Irish po lice on its present footing—that " cunning and pro fligate" Bill which Sir R. Peel cordially supported— provided for the creation of a new office in the service, under the name of Head Constable--a post somewhat analogous to that of sergeant-major in the army, and so considerable in rank and emolument as to have been solicited by hundreds of gentlemen for their sons and near relatives. Here was an opportunity, then, for Lord Mulgrave, had he been so rapacious of pa tronage as his malignant traducers assert, of lavishing it to his heart's content. Here was " ample room and verge enough " for " demagogues and priests and Mr. Daniel O'Connell"—if they possessed the as cendancy ascribed to them—to seize upon a means of infusing a new spirit into the whole service, by cramming their partisans and dependents three deep into posts of confidence and honour. But Lord Mul grave was in no hurry to fill up those appointments. He might have given them away eighteen months ago, when the Bill came into operation. He was anxious, however, that they should be rendered as in strumental as possible to the efficiency of the service, by being given to none but men of approved experience and character ; and he was, furthermore, determined that they should all, without exception, be bestowed upon individuals who had served in the police, as a reward of their good conduct, and a stimulus to the exertions of others. For these causes the appoint ments were delayed by order of the Lord-Lieutenant, until Colonel Kennedy should have made himself ac quainted with the respective merits of the persons who were to he candidates for the office ; for to him was con fided the duty of selecting and recommending candi dates to fill it. He has at length done so ; after a careful examination of all constables who presented themselves to -him for that purpose (and the competi tion was thrown open to the whole body of the police), he submitted to the Lord Lieutenant the names of two hundred and fifty-three persons, whose qualifi cations and deserts he approved of, all of them police constables, all of them having served in the old police, and consequently who could not have ob tained their admission into the service - through the • influence so affectingly deplored by the . Times--for they received their first appointment from the local inal,Tistracy. Now every man of these—the whole two hundred and fifty-three—has Lord :Mulgrave pro moted upon Colonel Kennedy's recommendation, to the lucrative and honourable situations which he• could have obliged so many political adherents by dis tributing among their friends. And it is in less than a month after this splendid instance of single-minded and unswerving attention to the public interests that the Times dares to insult the common sense of the British peop.ie by " telling them that Lord Mulgrave has turned the police into a standing army bearing muskets at t h e di sposal of Mr. Daniel O'Con nell," and that he " treats Colonel Shaw Ken nedy's recommendations with such contempt that the gallant officer now never dreams of trou bling the Government with any !" From the above facts the public will judge what degree of credit is due to the daring assertion, that the constabulary returns of crime " are garbled and distorted." If the " official reports" in question are " lies," the liars are Colonel Shaw Kennedy and a body of constables appointed and controlled by him directly, entirely, and exclusively. The public . will also recollect what we have already stated more than once, that the staff of the Irish police fence, designated " Mr. O'Connell's „ journeym en ," and " th e h ouse h o ld troops of Popery, is composed almost exclusively of Protestants ! Among 250 ap pointments, the Papists have only 38. Out of 188 chief constables—those complaisant miscreants who falsify and garble the return s o f cr i me j ust as Mr. O'Connell, Dr. M'Hale, or Lord Mulgrave com mands them—no fewer than 158 are Protestants. If " the tranquillity of Ireland is a lie," the liars are Protestant judges and Protestant constables. What a picture the Times draws of Protestantism l—Morntzw Chronicle. .‘ \Ve have, (observin Mr. O'Connell) formidable, merciless, and unceasingly active cntzmies. The English Tories place their last hope of power in fomenting English prejudice and bigotry to the highest paroxysm of maddened . exertion.

Th e accusat i on is not rashly made. Mr. O'Connell adduces, amongst others, the following proofs in its support :—. " Look at the Tory press of England. Consider the enormous expen se th a t party h ave gone to in order to pur chase the souls as well as the pens of the wretches who conduct the Times and the Standard, and the minor organs of their politics. Look at the terms of reproach, con tumely, contempt, and execration which they use to the people of Ireland. The resources of Billingsgate are ex hausted so find terms and expressions the most smegrading, in order to apply them to the Irish people. They are called by those instruments of Toryism, " ruffians," " mur derers," " a barbarous rabble," " a sava:.,,e rabble ;" " per jury" is imputed to them every hour, if inani.sts," " 17Videle 'la r —such t erms rd but j a urer small sin, Another letter has been nuhlished, hearing the rank Nignature of Mr, Daniel O'Connell.

But it is more than ordinarily savage, because of all feelings the most bar barous is cowardice ; and an unfortunate culprit in a more edifying fright tha n was t h e di sturber of the pr-ace of Ireland when he penned that same epistle has never, we do conscientiously think, been seen on any spot of the inhabited world, save possibly in the short passage between the press-room of Newnate and the \viiitiow which opens t o t h e d rop.

I deem it quite impossible for any constitutional lawyer to doubt that Spottiswoodc and his gang are guilty of such a conspiracy. adly—To form a deputation to wait on Lord Melbourne on the subject of these addresses, and in particular to as certain the proper mode of presenting them to her Majesty. 4thly—To arrange the mode and time of bringing for. ward in the House of Lords a suitable motion on this subject. .sthly—To arrange for the bringing forward in the House of Commons of a motion for an address by that House to direct the Attorney-General to institute the prosecution which I have suggested. . . 6thly—To arrange a motion in the House of Commons for a Committee to inquire and report upon the privileges of the House with respect to election committees in re ference to the existing conspiracy. 7thly.—To arrange a motion in the House of Commons or in both Houses of Parliament, for the repeal of the Grenville Act, and to substitute a mode of trial of election petitions, free from partiality, less liable to expense, and to be presided over by a responsible judge. Bthly—To prepare an addre.ss to her Majesty from the people of Ireland, praying her to continue in office her present Ministry, as being the first Ministry the people of Ireland ever found honestly disposed to administer equal justice to all. 9thly--Having thus testified our confidence in her Ma jesty's Ministers-, we should, I think, make the fittest ar rangement we possibly could, to press upon that Ministry our conviction of the absolute necessity of enabling the Reform Bill to work its intended purposes, by extending and rendering more simple the elective franchise—and, above all, by giving the electors the protection of the Ballot. Thanks to the Tories, the advocates of the Repeal of the Union are never left in dearth of facts to sup port their opinions —and facts, too, more successful in making converts to repeal than the most powerful ar guments which human ingenuity could other wise de vise—facts which make even such men as Lord Ebring tin declare that unless the Tories cease or mitigate their' hostility, Ireland would be fully justified in in sisting upon a domestic legislature. If the decisions of such an overwhelming majority of Irish representa tives as we have no doubt will attend the meeting should be disregarded by the Imperial Senate, Ireland may as well at once decline sending any representatives to a Parliament wherein the national wishes arc de feated by the tyranny of faction, as keep up the mockery of representation, inefficient to all purposes of good, and serving only to sicken the hearts of the people with perpetually disappointed hope.—Morning Advertiser. Mr. O'Connell has just published a letter to Lord Cloncurry on the subject of the election petition fund. We cannot make room for the letter, which is a long one, but we may state in a few words that its object is to convoke a meeting of the Irish - Members—Lords and Commons—in Dublin, between the 21st of this month anti the sth of November, for the purpose of considering how they may best protect the Irish agi tators against the consequences of a Parliamentary in vestigation. The plan suggested by the arch-agitator himself is a petition to the Crown, recommending the prosecution of the C omm itt ee w ith w h om the idea of the dreaded fund originated—the Committee to be pro secuted by the Attorney. General as conspirators. We need hardly observe that such a proceeding, from such a quarter, furnishes a decisive proof, if any such were wanting, of the triumphant success of the fund in question. That the head of the faction is panic-struck appears not only from his proposition, but from the tone and language of his letter ; and we may be cer tain, that when he shows signs of fear, the tremor will he commonivated through all the limbs and arteries of agitation, down to the very tip of its tail. This de monstration of the enemy is, therefore, a most encou raging circumstance to the friends of order and good government. It should encourage them to redouble their exertions, by showing them that those exertions arc likely to be crowned with success.—Morn. Herald. We are never sorry to meet with a letter of Mr. O'Connell, especially when it is addressed to a Whin- R adical Lord, and when it appeals vociferously to the proclaimed opinions of another Lord of the same poli tical class. We think that Lord Cloncurry, to whom a letter, dated " Darrynanc Abbey, Oct. 12," and signed " Daniel O'Connell," is addressed, and Lord Ebrin.Jon, to whose recent speech that letter confi dently-appeals, will have read this production of Mr. O'Connell's pen with much less satisfaction than we confess it has afforded to us. These Noblemen are now made to stiffer the penalty of their past folly. The distinction of being paraded before the world by Mr. O'Connell its his firm allies; is one which they must loathe, but they cannot forget that it is one which they have laboriously and zealously sought. Mr. O'Connell, if we 'night trust to his letter (but unfortunately nothing that he says or writes can be trusted), is determined once more to become a Repealer, The ennouncement is almost too good to be true. That Mr. O'Connell sh ou ld aga i n b e an avowed and active Repealer would be gratifying to the people o f E ng l an d, w h o , never afraid of any ene mies, delight most in the encounter with those who do not fight under false colours. We cannot imagine any circumstan ce that wool(' he hailed in G reat Bri tain with an acclaim more Unanimous and sincere than that of the Repeal fla g b e in g; distinctly unfurled under the auspices of Mr. O'Connell. Lord Melbourne and his official colleagues might or might not range them selves under the tatter e d and vamp e d. p ba n i l d t of their leader, as they thought best. The people of England would have no reason to care which course the Melbourne Government pursued, knowing that if they coalesced with Mr. O'Connell, in opposition to their known and avowed opinions, they would be driven from office, amidst the scornful hisses of an honest na dein and that if they did not coalese with him their fate would be the same, in consequence of the indis pensable support of the O'Connell faction being with ' drawn from them. In either case the Briti,ll nation would get rid of a Ministry the most contemptible and odious that ever governed may country—of a Ministry which has no definite purposes or intelligible prin eiples---of a Ministry which seized at first, and has continued to possess, office by surrendering its own opinions, and pandering to the factious projects and revolutionary passions of other men. This cheering prospect is opened to the view of the English people Repeals 13utthe O'Connell's re sum p t i on o f t h e watc h- wor d o f speet; thought cheering, is, we fear, nct become a Repealer. He gill not abandon Lord Melbourne, or compel Lord Melbourne to abandon him. The honest and loyal people of Great Britain must not permit themselves to be misled by the habitual bluster of Mr. O'Connell in Ireland, Notwithstanding this bluster, there is no room to hope that the O'Connell and the Mel bourne influences will be separated. The people of . Great Britain will still, as heretofore, have to tiumbat them together for the preservation of the British Throne, and the British Altar, which they afe still ris mach aS eiiet leagiiod to destroy: -The Irish Agitator, who provides for Lord Melhourtie the majority in the House of Commons, by means of which the hitter is to govern the country, takes, how ever, in Ireland, as he is entitled to take, a high tone. He r e mi n d s L or d elolidirry of the Leinster declara tion ; he reminds Lord Ebrington of his reedit avowal, that " there were imlications of such atrociously cri minal hostility to Ireland Athritig:lt the Fondish Tones, if successfully persevered in, would justify and would require the Irish people to insist on the Re peal 4" and he insists, tipdo paili of the renewal of the Repeal agitation, oh these Noble Lords and the Go-i 'I/eminent of Lord Melbourne, Colicutthig in Measures to prevent the late elections in Ireland, which have given him an apparent majority of the whole representa tion of that country, from being questioned in the House of Commons. Mr. O'Connell is terrified at the thought of the recent Irish elections being subjected to the in vestigation of Committees of the House of Commons, under the provisions of the Grenville Act. He will agitate the Repeal question, so at least he pretends, if obstacles be not thrown by the Melbourne Govern ment and its partisans in the way of such an inves tation. Upon the subject of the Irish election pe tition fund he is furious beyond measure--a tolerably conclusive indication of his opinion that this sub scription is necessary, and that, with a view to the ob jects which the loyal subjects of her Majesty have most at heart, it will. be eminently successful. Mr. O'Connell does not conceal the alarm which the crea tion of a fund by voluntary subscriptions in England for maintaining the integrity of the Irish representa tiOn, and protecting the rights of the legal constituen cies of Ireland, has excited in his mind. His manifes , tation of terror upon this occasion is not less grotesque and amusing than it is conspicuous. Not content with railing, in imitation of the Ministerial journals of ' England, against Election Committees, without proposing distinctly any better mode of deciding con troverted returns—not content with exclaiming, in imitation of the same journals, against the partiality of these sworn tribunals—not content with reverberat ing the charge of perjury upon their Members—not content with repeating the absurdity that, chosen by lot'from an assembly in which he and the Ministry he protects pretend they have a majority, the Election Committees of the House of Commons have a con stant leaning against the friends of that Ministry—not content with giving renewed currency to these effusions of stupidity and malice, Mr. O'Connell has announced spdcific measures of his own for preventing any inquiry into the Irish elections, which have ended in returns favourable to his friends and followers ; and in these measures he exacts the Concurrence and aid of the Melbourne Government and its re tainers, threatening them that if they do not instantly obey his behest he will renew the Irish agitation upon the question of Repeal. The measures pro posed by Mr. O'Connell for the above purpose re quite only to be clearly laid before the British public, who will form a just estimate of their merit without any assistance from us. There is to be a meeting in Dub lin in the first week of November, if Mr. O'Connell's mandate be obeyed, of the Irish liberal Peers, and Members of the House of Commons. This meeting is to address her Majesty, praying specifically that she may order her Attorney-General for England to pro secute the promoters of the Irish. Election Petition Fund, for a dangerous and unconstitutional conspi racy against the freedom of election, and the privi leges of the Commons House of Parliament. But the efforts of this meeting of the Irish Liberal Peers and Members of the House of Commons against the promoters of the subscription for securing an honest representation for Ireland, are not to end here. The meeting is further to arrange for the bringing forward in the House of Commons a motion for an address by that House to direct the Attorney-General to institute the prosecution above mentioned. The promoters of the subscription surely must be very formidable per sons, that all this cumbrous machinery is to be put in motion for the purpose of prosecuting them. The meeting of Irish Liberal Peers and Members of the House of Commons is not, however, to terminate thus. They are to arrange the mode and time of bringing forward a suitable motion in the House of Lords upon the same subject. They are to arrange a motion in the House of Commons, or in both Houses of Parliament, for the repeal of the Grenville Act. And, lastly, they are to press upon the Ministry the neces sity of extending and rendering more simple the elec tive franchise, and, above all, of giving the electors the protection of the Ballot. These are the subjects which Mr. O'Connell intends to submit, before the session, to a preliminary meeting of his own little Irish Par liament. Between this assembly and the Parliament of the United Kingdom there will, we imagine, be little sympathy. How Lord Melbourne and Mr. O'Connell will so adjust their respective schemes for the session so as to avoid collision we cannot 'guess. It is probable, however, that some contrivance will be adopted to prevent a conflict, which would be fatal to both, notwithstanding any sacrifices of character or of consistency which it may require.—Morning Post. LOVE AT EIGHTY.-SOllle men, it is quite evi dent, have hearts made on the touchwood principle—the more they advance to decay the easier they take fire ; and last week a gentleman of eighty proceeded to Billericay fair, with a heart of this description buttoned up in a trim Sunday going coat, the breast pocket of which contained the precise sum of 141, to be there and then expended in the purchase of two mulch cows. But in passing up the street, as mischief would have it, he stumbled against one of those frail fair daughters of the creation, whose silky tongues and bright eyes sometimes lead erring men, like nil ignix fat tins through the bogs of vice, and the touchwood heart was instantly in a flame. Our lover of fourscore was not disposed to— ." Let concealment—like a worm in the bud, Prey on his wrinkled cheek," and soon his suit was proffered and accepted ; soon again he found that by some legerdemain of love, the 141. had va nished from the innermost recesses of his Sunday coat pocket. Dear-bought • experience, we have heard, is the best ; but fourteen pounds' worth of this description laid in at eighty, is rather more than a man is likely to require for the remainder of his natural life.—Essex Herald. . NEW USE FOR FIIRZE.—We have occasionally seen it mentioned in newspapers, that furze or whin bushes may be rendered suitable food for cattle. The following is a paragraph which lately appeared on the subject, and is worthy of the attention of persons who keep cattle :—A gentleman near Birmingham keeps one hundred cows, and supplies milk to that town ; his land is of a poor, light, dry quality, such as in the common mode of culture would be insufficient for producing fodder for his stock ; he has sown down one hundred acres with furze-seed—he never lets the plant rise into a shrub, but is constantly mowing it for his dairy cows ; when bruised in the mill, it is mixed with a certain portion of chaff, chapped hay or straw, and wash with grains ; but the furze forms the principal portion of their diet, and increases the quantity, an d im proves the quality of their milli, In the ruder parts of the country, the mode used for bruising the furze-tops before giving them to cattle, has been an iron-bound mallet, with a long handle, with which the furze is beaten upon a thick flag-stone ; in some parts of England, however, the bruis ing process is performed by means of passing it between coarsely fluted iron rollers, worked by a fly wheel, or in other cases bruised in a machine like a bark-mill ; but in whatever way it can be reduced to a soft mass, and mixed with a small quantity of cut hay or straw, it forms a most useful and healthy fodder. He also follows an unusual system in other respects, which he finds most profitable. He buys his dairy cows about a fortnight after they have calved, places them in his pens, and they never stir out from their stalls until they are fat, and are sold to the butcher, which is usually at the end of five years—during all that time lie continues to milk them, although they do not have calves ; at the end of five years they are dry and fat ; as the milk decreases, the fat increases ; and he says, by this means of combining milking and feeding, he loses less of the use of the cow, and makes more profit than others, and that he does this with land that would actually be otherwise of no value to him, The system is altogether novel." In Tottenham-court-road may now sometimes be seen a very aged and infirm man, who has not, it appears, an y other dependence than easual benevolence. He is su pported on two crutches, by which he is enabled to jog on at the rate of about half-a-mile an hour. He says not a s ingle word t but, suspended to his breast, is a card label , descriptive only of his present age. He states himself to be a native of Bath, in which city he says he. was born on the Sth August, 1735, that his name is Samuel Coleman, and that he had, is his younger days, worked in the Royal Oardons at Richmond. DUTY OF BRITAIN AND FRANCE TO SPAIN. While the despotS of Europe are screwing money from their beggarly subjects to replenish the coffers of Carlos, lase Often regretted that the richer nations of Britain and Vrance conttitiotii nothing to the cause of Spanish freedom, with which they so heartily sympathise, and With width their own interests are to some eAteot bound up. Even were no commercial advantages held out, we think these two States would hate t o ne no more than their duty bad they jointly guaranteed a loan Or ten millions for the wise and Laic pOrpose of depriving despotisth of emo of its strongholds, and gaining ot7er o. powerful nation to the gteat trttlsc of human improvement. %re say it is the interest of free nationi to make some pecuniary sacrifice:; fvf the pro motion of freedom. it IS obvions that any wars which take 1 - dace in the next half century sill arise between the par tisans of eoilc and bad government ; and whatever weak ens the latter and etrangthens the former 'multiplies the Obarrees of preserving peace ; and will render wars, when they do ete! , r, shorter and less expeosive. Again, for what purpose is Europe burdened with the Cost of maintaining . two millions and a half amen in arms, but to fight the bat tles of the two antagonist principles' Were the ascendancy of the good principro once established, tno-thirds of this feree would be disbanded, and fifty millions a year saved to the oter-taxed nations of this quarter of the world. A few millions upended to hasten the advent of this de sirable state of things aro not thrown away, If free states look on with indifference while the battle of Li . berty is fouglit,Oey are false to their own interests. They may stand neutral, but the despots will not follow their example. It is plain now that there are but two methods of aid ing the popular cause in Spain with any hopes of a good result. The one is to furnish the Government with the means of calling out the energies of the people by guaran teeing a loan. The other is to march an army into the country powerful enough to act independently of the na tional force—an army, for instance, of twenty or thirty thousand men—to put down the insurgents. Experience shows that the plan of employing auxiliary corps of foreign troops has no chance to Sucf,ced.—Scotsman. LOi-WON BEGGAIVi' CAROUSALS SHOAL Of WHALES.—Towards the end of Sep tember last, while the Lighthouse Tender was crossing the Regent Bank (which has of late years been ascertained to abound with cod, bug, and tusk), between Sumburgb Head and the Fair Isle, she passed through a vast shoal of small whales, of a kind nearly allied to the grampus, the larger measuring from thirteen to twenty-five feet in length. A space of five or six miles in circumference was literally swarming with these monsters of the deep, many of which continued for a long time sporting and playing about the vessel. On a sudden, however, the whole mul titude, as if they had got the word of command, took a northerly direction towards the island of Foulah, and pur sued this course in a continuous drove. One of the largest, probably a male, seemed to take the lead, and the rest followed like a herd of cattle or a flock of sheep, till they disappeared in the distance. It is from this herding or following propensity that the popular name of calling whales has been bestowed on them. The tendency is very fatal to the poor animals, but very profitable to the Highlanders and islanders, when the leading whales get bewildered and enter the lochs of the Highlands, the Goes of Orkney, or the Voes of Zetland ; hundreds being then killed by the natives, who arm themselves with all sorts of weapons, matt every boat and yawl, and launch forth with the utmost alacrity and zeal to the grand hattu. This species of grampus was first described by Dr. Neill in his tour through Orkney and Shetland in 1806, under the popular name of Ca'ing Whale ; afterwards more fully by Dr. Traill, in Nicholson's Journal, under the title of Delphinus Melas ; and latterly by Captain Scoresby (now the Rev. Mr. Scoresby, of Exeter), in his account of the Arctic Regions, under the name of Delphinus Deductor.— Edinbarg,h Chronicle. Much food has been afforded for gossip in Leeds, during the last two days, in consequence of a report that a young lady, the daughter of a clergyman, the rector of a parish some miles from Leeds, and allied to a noble family, had eloped with the butler during the absence of her fa ther. On Tuesday morning, during the absence of the rector with a portion of his family at York, the young lady put into execution a design, long entertained, of running away with a butcher, of near 40, residing in the village, who had formerly filled the situation of butler and footman in the family. For this purpose a chaise had been engaged to wait in the vicinity of the house, and about seven o'clock the lady, accompanied by her intended and a younger sister, who had acted throughout the affair as her confi dante, left home and passed through Leeds, with the in tention of being married, it is said, at Liverpool. Soon after their departure, a friend of the injured father thought it his duty to take steps to frustrate the object of the party, and to effect that end he despatched intelligence of the flight to the police-office at Leeds. Mr. Heywood immediately sent some of his force to the different toll-bars in the neigh bourhood, and to the residences of the Registrars under the New Marriage Act ; and he himself, learning that a party answering the description of the fugitives had been seen walking in the direction of Hud dersfield, took a chaise and proceeded with all speck" in that direction. On arriving near Churwell, he came in sight of a chaise travelling at a very rapid rate. He sus pected that this vehicle contained the parties of whom he was in pursuit, nor was he deceived ; for, on running up - to the chaise .(his horse being exhausted), he discovered the two ladies and the butcher. It was in vain that they as sured him he was mistaken in his object. Mr. Heywood transferred the ladies to his chaise, and shortly afterwards returned with them to Leeds. In the meantime news of the transaction had been forwarded to the Hon. and Rev. Mr. --, who arrived at home in time to meet his daughter on Tuesday afternoon. Of the interview, of course, nothing is known ; but, whatever may have been the paternal re monstrances used on the occasion, they seem to have pro duced but little effect on the lady, for she determinedly told him that she would be married, and on the following morn ing—measures of detention being useless—she again left home and proceeded to Leeds, at which place she now re mains, awaiting the completion of a marriage settlement re stricting the property of which she is possessed to her control, when it. is understood that her nuptials with the butcher will take place. The lady is the daughter of the Hon. and Rev, Mr. Cathcartc, Vicar of Kippax, and is not only highly accomplished, but possessed of great per sonal attractions. The person who has succeeded in gaining her affections is Mr. Lodge, an innkeeper, in the same neighbourhood, The lady is possessed of; or entitled to, considerable property in her own right. WELSHMEN TIIE ORIGINAL DISCOVERERS OF AMElliCh.--A correspondent of the Yee; York Express, noticing the rains of Aztalen, a recently discovered city, gives the following story, which will at least serve at; a basis for antiquarian speculation :--There is a tradition amv:ng the Welsh people that an expedition, consisting of a large number of people sailed westward front Wales two hundred years before Ameriea was discovered by Columbus, with a view of discovery and settlement, and that there has never been anything heard of them since they set sail. These ancient works (at Aztalen) have recently been examined by a Welshman, who pronounced the work to be of Welsh construction, and similar to some of the old fortifications in his native country—and that the word Aztalen in his native tongue means good or beautiful land, I am told that Humboldt in hie " History of South America," gives an account of that country being overrun by the people of Aztalen, who came from the North, before its settlement by the Spaniards. If these reports are true, 1 think that historians and antiquarians have a wide field before them, and one worthy their attention. PARIS CORRECTIONAL Po I, E..---J!ilesßranchu, a young labourer of about twenty, with rather a n,,...." 41, °Te face and agreeable person, appeared to take his trial n:.!" having deprived a man of his daughter, whose honour lie I had outraged, and afterwards abandoned her. The name of the prosecutor was Fine!. The defendant, having lodged iu his house, pretended to become enamoured of his daugh ter Marie, a pretty girl of about sixteen. She was neither of an age nor disposition to be indifferent to a lover, and as such she received \ him. Jules became importunate, and the virtue of poor Marie was at length sacrificed to a promise of mer ria,ge. Marriage, however, was altogether out of the question, for the relations of the two lovers were not on good terms. But Jules was not disappointed at this, becau-as marriage was not what he wished, He, however, to accomplish his base pur pose, proposed a secret marriage, and their flight was very soon planned and determined upon. Marie packed up a few articles of wearing apparel, and having eluded the watchfulness of her mother, the lovers were off. Jules was waiting for her on the Boulevard, and in a short time a furnished apartment in the Rue de Faubourg du Temple received the fugitives—the artless Marie, happy in the presence of him whom she confidingly believed to be her devoted lover ; and the treacherous Jules pleased at the success of his villainy. A fortnight thus rolled on, the time passing too rapidly to be observed by the de lighted but deluded Marie. She forgot her father, and the t ears which were shed by her distracted mother touched not her heart, for every other feeling gave way to that of ardent love. Jules, however, soon became weary of their position, which Marie appeared to like better every day, for she really loved him. But while she had left the roof of her parents on account of her love for him, the act on his part was mere caprice, and as soon as he became weary of her, he sent her back to her parents. She was received, how ever, notwithstanding her fault, and it was afterwards dis covered that the ruin of the daughter of Finch had been a concerted matter with the prisoner and his mother, in order to be revenged on the parent s o f th e p oor g i r l for some imagined injury. This fact having been proved, the Court sentenced both Branchu and his mother to three months' imprisonment, and condemned the former in damages of 500 franca for the benefit of Marie Fine!. (From Sketches in London.) . There are numbers of the London beggars who hol d re gular convivial meetings, at which some remarkable rot"' nk , feats are their(perormed. On some special occasions f b e y regularly elect chairman, and have their series of toasts , their speeches, and songs, as on other great public occa sions. It is known to several persons, that Georg Fourth, when Prince of Wales , wen t, on one occasion, with which take hie friend Major Hanger , to witness the scenes place at these guzzling exhi bitions of the mendicants. 151-„. ot toted as the young i 2 , - ince was by Sheridan and otters th his boon companions in aii s orts of frolics, he enjoyed sce ne for some time. At last , however, a circumstane c e r occ urred which somewhat Clisconcerted him. 'rile beggi! the who presided on the occasion as chairman, after a panic !n the merriment of the evening, rose, and pointing to t i n T : , Prince, said, " With the permission of the c ompany 1 ca" on that ere gernman with the clean shirt on for a beggars"song. A round of applause from the rest of the "jolly I showed how eagerly they responded to winked aPPe.a thus made to his Royal Highness. He 315' nificantly at Major Hanger , a nd then stammered o ut the m expression of a hope, that as he was no singer the companY would excuse him. " Not a bit of it," said the chairman. " Ve'll have no denial, young man," said another of the jovial crew. " Perhaps, gentlemen, you'll allow the gentleman to sing by proxy," interpossa l Major Hanger. se Proxy !" said sevcra; voice s at once, " vat's proxy r , another person singing' for him," answered the Majookr... " 0 " 0 certainly, if he can find one " , said the c hairman , le gentl ing round for the concurrence of the cOm pany in his meat. v:ce os,att once. there can be no objections to that," obser'Vedll dozen Come then, 11--...., you must do it yourself," said the Prince, addressing himself to the Major. The latter promptlY responded to the appeal, and sung amids t g reat app l (rater' a well-known ballad—well-known , I mea n, among the nity themselves—called " The Beggar's W edding." " Gen'l'men," said the proprietor of a l ittle unwashed an unshaved face, and a nose of remarka ble flatness, w ho sa health t opposite the chairman, " Gen'!'men, let us drink the and song of the gen'l'man vot's just. sung." 1 " Gen'l'men," shouted the chairman , drawing his uwn glass towards himself ; " genTinen, fill your glasses. Every glass was full to the brim in a moment. " The genTrnan's health and song," said t he chairman in Stentorian accents. o The gen'l'man's health and song," shouted a host of voices, and in an instant every glass was emptied of its con tents, except that of the Prince. 1 " I say, young man, vy don't you drink to your friend ri said a round faced mendicant, who sat opposite his 11° Y ° Highness, his eyes rolling in a fine frenzy through the in spiring influence of the liquid he had so copiously qua " 0, I beg your pardon, Sir, answered the Prince, who bad been for the moment lost in surprise a t the ecstasies a uproarious merriment he witnessed every where around biol. " 0, I beg your pardon, Sir, for the omission ; it w as quite accidental, I assure you." This was addressed to the P.er sonage who had challenged him for not drinking to the Mar i. ' " Vell, vy don't you do it now ? " inquired the other, Tv° was a very consequential personage in his own estimation the The Prince filled up his glass, and having drank efflt contents to the health and song of Major Hanger, 'lel out in his hand in an inverted position. s hou t e d " Bravo ? you're a trump !" "Go itclean shirt !'' " a dozen voices. " Three cheers for the gentleman who has favoured °s with so excellent a song! " exclaimed the Prince, beginniug osand to feel himself more at home. As he spo ke he re, waved his hand with his empty glass in th e air, as i f to lead the plaudits of the others. All present w ere on their leg s in an instant, and deafening and universa l were the cheers with which the Major was greeted. The scene was kePt u P 1 with great spirit and eclat, until at least one half o f t .k be " jolly beggars" bad drunk themselves asleep, and lay I' 7 so many masses of inert clay on the floor, in a horizontna position. The Prince often afterwards spoke of this adven: , turc. He never mentioned it in the hearing of Sheri& 1 without the latter feeling the deepest regret that he was not 1 an actor in so rich a scene of low life.
