THE. QUALIFICATION OF APOTHECARIES. . _ The Society of Apothecaries, entertaining an opinion, which they h a ve publicly expressed upon several occa sions, that a penal check upon the practice of medicine by unqualified persons is indispensably necessary for the protection of the public, and that the pecuniary penalty imposed by the Apothecaries Act, is but ill adapted for checking such practices, have long desired that a more summary mode of proceeding a.,gainst illegal practitioners should be adopted; and they have advocated an altera tion of the law in this respect, whenever a favourable opportunity for so doing has presented itself. A recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, in a criminal prosecution instituted against an attorney for practising without qualification, seemed to lead to the conclusion,. that notwithstanding the specific pecuniary penalty im posed upon unqualified persons practising as apothecaries, such persons might be indicted criminally as for a mis demeanor. This decision appeared to the society to suggest a mode of proceeding for checking the illegal practice of medicine, which might be attended with such important results that they determined to lose no ti me in obtaining the highest legal opinions upon the subject. They, therefore, laid a case before the law officers of the Crown, and it will be found from the answers given to the questions submitted to the Attorney an d S o li c i tor - General, in consultation with Mr. F. Robinson4that it is the opinion of those learned gentl emen th at an indict ment will lie against a person who h as praotised as an apothecary without legal qualifi ca ti on . Th e soc i e ty subjoin the questions proposed to counsel and their answers thereto. QITESTION S. 1. Whether an indictment will lie against a person who has practised as an apothecary without legal quali fication, notwithstanding the particular penalty imposed upon persons so practising by the 20th section of the Act, and the disability imposed upon them by the 21st section ? and, if you should be of opinion that an indict ment will lie? 2. In what courts, metropolitan or provincial, could such an indictment be preferred ? and could it be pre ferred at the instance of a private prosecutor ? 3. Would it be competent for the Society of Apothe caries to prefer such an indictment, notwithstanding the interest given to the society in the pecuniary penalties imposed by the 20th section, and the particular remedy given to the society for the recovery of such penalties ? 4. What would be the extent of punishment which could be inflicted by law upon a person convicted of the offence of practising as an apothecary without legal qua lification ? 5. Can any more summary proceeding than an indict ment be resorted to, for the punishment of persons prac tising as apothecaries without legal qualification ? ANSWERS. 1. We think that an indictment will lie against a per son who has practised as an apothecary without legal qualification, notwithstanding the particular penalty im posed by the 20th section of the Act, and the disability imposed by the 21A section. 0 - The indictment may be preferred in any of the ordi nary criminal courts having cognisance of misdemeanors committed in the county or place in which the party has so illegally practised, and it may be preferred at the instance of a private prosecutor. 3. We think it is competent for the Society of Apo thecaries to prefer the indictment. 4. The punishment, as in case of other misdemeanors, would be fine or imprisonment, cr both, at the discretion of the Court. 5. We are not aware that any more summary proceed ing than an indictment can be resorted to for the punish ment of persons practising as apothecaries without legal qualification. JOHN JERVIS, DAVID DUNDAS, Temple, Nov. 23. FREDERIC ROBINSON. It is, perhaps, hardly necessary for the society to point out the increased facilities which this mode of pro ceeding affords for putting the law in force against un qualified practitioners. Instead of proceeding for the recovery of penalties by a civil action, which in the case of a country practitioner could only be tried at the spring and summer assizes, an indictment may be preferred at the quarter sessions and at the assizes also ; and, instead of the power of proceeding against unqualified practioners b e ing restricted, as in the case of the specific penalty imposed by the statute, to the Society of Apothecaries, it will be competent for any person to prefer an indictment who may be disposed to do so. Another dist;nction between the two modes of proceed ing, which is likely to operate still more powerfully as a check upon illegal practice, is this, that whereas an in dividual against whom a judgment for a penalty is ob tained,. under the present form of proceeding, can re lieve himself from the consequences of his offence by ob. taining his discharge under the Bankrupt or Insolvent Acts, an individual found guilty on indictment of having practised as an apothecary without legal qualification, will be punishable by fine and imprisonment, and will have to undergo whatever measure of punishment the Criminal Court may in its discretion award. The society sincerely hope that a public intimation, that the penalties of the law can now be enforced against illegal practitioners of medicine more summarily than heretofore, will deter all persons from prac tising as apothecaries who have not given such evidence of their competency to practice as the law demands. But if individuals who have not possessed themselves of a l ega l qua lifi cat i on w i ll persist in practising in the absence of such qualification, they will do so at the risk of being criminally indicted for the offence at the instance of any individual prosecutor who may be induced to prefer an indictrrent against them. The society on their part will be ready, as they have ever been, to enforce the law to the extent of the means placed at their disposal, but those means are inadequate to the institution of frequent prosecut 7 ons. It may, therefore, be anticipated that indictments will be pre ferred at the instance of other parties ; and the society take this opportunity of stating, that they will endea vour to render such experience as they may have ac quired in administering the Act of 1815 available in furthering the ends of justice ; and that they will be prepared, upon proper application, to furnish any infor mation in connexion with the subject of illegal practice which they may have it in their power to afford. Apothecaries' Hall, Dec. 10. COMMERCE OF THE REPUBLIC OF ECUADOR. The French Minister of Commerce has just addressed a circular to some of the chambers of commerce, con taming information as to th" French products and manufactures most in demand at Guayaquil. The Minister says— " In the markets of the Equator, as in the other mar kets of South America, English, Swiss, and Rhenish manufactures in linen and cotton have had too frequently a preference over us. Our silks, which have much success at Valparaiso and Lima, are less in demand at Ilu tyaquil, on account of the poverty of the country and foreign competition, which is formidable for the inferior qualities. Our broadcloths, the superiority and fine ness of which begin to be acknowledged by the inhabi tants, gain ground, but as yet are purchased only by the rich. In mixed stuffs, of wool, thread, and cotton, new designs of which are produced every day, we pre serve a marked advantage over our rivals. As to cut lery and hardware, England supplies the first almost exclusively, and shares the supply of the second with Germany and the United States • but we lave still th e supply of articl es o f luxury. We have little competi tion to dread in fine mercery and Paris articles, the con sumption of which increases daily. In the supply of paper, Genoa and Spain hove almost monopolised the trade as regards the common sorts. In the fine qualities we compete with some advantage with Italy and Eng land. Our printed papers maintain the first rank. In the book trade, as regards French and Spanish works, Re have to fear the competition of Spain and even Ame rica. Our preserved food and fruits maintain theirsupe riority, notwithstanding their high price. This is the case also with our oils and our wines. French licoeurs are esteemed beyond all others at Guayaquil. Cognac brandy is imitated to such an extent by brandy made from sugar, that it is difficult to compete with the adul terations." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, DEC. 22.—The recent decline in the cotton market, and the close approach of the Christmas holidays, have combined to limit the demand for goods and yarn, and to depress prices. Many spinners and manufacturers, indeed, still refuse to name prices ; but, in the few instances in which business has been done, slight concessions have been made from the rates of last Tuesday, both in goods and yarn-. We understand that most of the mills in this district will stop for about ten days at the close of the current week. ROCHDALE, DEC 21.—There has been another dull market to-day, and the demand for prices has been very limited. In the wool market there has been very little doing ; the dealers are asking higher prices, and, in some instances, have obtained a small advance. HALIFAX, DEC. 19.—We cannot report more favour ably of the business done in the hall. The advance in long wools, not being followed by any advance in the price of goods, has tended to check even the limited de mand that there was, and everything is exceedingly dull. The early and severe frost has put a stop to the demand for yarns for the continent, and scarcely any orders are being given out. The spinners having liberally supplied themselves with wool, little is now changing hands; and there is no disposition to advance upon the old rates. Short wools are rather harder to buy, but the quantity sold is not large. HUDDERSFIELD. DEC. 22.—A few sales have taken place to buyers who have visited us to-day to purchase job-lots ; and the manufacturers of cashrnerets and cas sinets, during the last two or three weeks, have been fully employed. German wools have met with ready sale, but there is little doing in colonial. LEEDs, DEC. 22.—There was little doing in our cloth halls to-day. The last few markets of the year usuall3 are dull and neglected, the merchants being unwilling to increase their stocks when the period fir balancing their books is so near.--Manchester Guardian. , R - -- —-- (His and Sons being fully determined not to be " punch e d .

Struts left town yesterday for the holidays. . _ STATE of the WEST HIGHLANDS (From the Inverness Courier of the 16th inst.) The snow storm has interrupted our communication with the Hebrides, but the latest accounts are more sa tisfactory with respect to the sneply of provisions. The Stromboli steamer had arrived in Skye from Glasgow with a cam) of meal, a private speculation, intended for the nose of Lord Macdonald's tenants. Meal was landed from this vessel at Armadale, Uig, &c., and such was the demand, that it was supposed the cargo would be ex hausted in a week. The two Government store-ships were, however, daily expected. The Eolus is to be stationed at Portree, and the Belvidera at Tobermory, both containing ample stores of provisions, to be sold in whatever quantities the poor people demand, and at the lowest market price. No charge is to be made for freight or other incidental expenses. Sir Ed ward Coffin, the Commissary Officer, (who is now at To bermory), calculates that they ca', sell barleymeal at about 28s. per sack of 2801bs. or 14s. per boll of half that weight. The country people are more partial to barleymeal, in the absence of potatoes, than to any other kind of grain, as they think it the most wholesome. The Government stores can only be sold for ready money, and the great object on the part of the proprietors must now ho to furnish employment to the poor people, that they may be enabled to purchase provisions. Most of the crofters had some little crop past them, for seed in spring, but, of course, this, in many instances, has been partly used, to avert actual famine. A correspondent writes The ship that went ashore lately in Harris was laden with flour, and part of the cargo being saved, the flour was advertised over the country for sale. People flocked to the spot from all quarters, and it was calculated that nearly three thousand persons were present. The owners, however, asked extravagant prices. The first lot, I hear, was put up at 345., and no one making an advance, the sale was given up. It is a great pity, both for the Long Island and Skye, that sales were not effected, as the supply of meal has been far too limited, and the flour would have been a great help to us. The subsequent arrival of the Stromboli and the Go vernment ships will, we hope, have obviated this loss. The Firefly steamer has arrived to assist in conveying stores, and keeping up communication between the different localities. With respect to employment, there is a general dis position among the proprietors to avail themselves of the Drainage Act, and even to anticipate the grants by set ting the people to work. Mr. Macleod, we are happy to see, has applied for a sum of 5,0001. Sir James M. Riddell, of Ardnamurchan, intends soliciting a sum of 4,500 L, as there is a large mass of unemployed at Ard namurchan. At Coll, the factor, Captain Campbell, em ploys a considerable number of hands on his own farms. Barra is perhaps the most wretched of the islands, and there only do the poor people appear in rags. like the Irish peasantry. Generally throughout the Hebrides the people wear strong homely clothing, which has an air of comfort, but those of Barra are an exception. The inhabi tants of Uig have also been in a very miserable state. The people of the Lewis, notwithstanding some insinua tions that have been made to the contrary, are undoubt edly better off than any of their neighbour islanders. There are fully 1,600 employed in out-door work, ac cording to the system laid down by Mr. Smith of Dean stop. A gentleman who has recently been at Mull, Coll, and some of the other Western Islands, remarks:— " There is much suffering everywhere, hut it will be worse in the spring. The people aro consuming their oats and barley, and they will have no supply for seed. This should be provided for. The change of food and destitution have increased the mortality among the people. I was surprised, however, to find that the men (most of whom have boats for communication) do not fish for cod, haddocks, &c., which would vary their diets of meal, and be nourishing food. Boys fish for small cuddles from the rocks, but during the three weeks I was there I could g t no good fish, though abundance might be had in the sea, and the weather was remarkably fine and calm." The Highland population have generally little inclina tion for the sea, and in this respect are very different from the east-coast fishermen, who go out in all weathers, and are hardy and industrious. We hope to have our fisheries prosecuted with more activity and diligence when this orisis of destitution is passed, or at least mitigated. The subject is one of national import ance. We extract the following from a private letter as ho nourab'e to Lord Macdonald The minister of Kilmuir told me that he has leave from Lord Macdonald to give a certain quantity of meal to every person applying for it, and really needing it—say one pound per day to every grown-up person, and to young persons three quarters of a pour.d. He was, however, unable to act upon this at the time, there being no meal in the parish, nor, indeed, in almost any parish in Skye ; but since the Stromboli has come there will be a supply." The Government store-ships will also furnish excel!ent depots, and all that is wanted is money, or its equiva lent, labour, on the part of the people. THE SUN, LONDON, THPRSIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 184(L " DREADFUL MURDER. "Four O'CLOCK. —A man residing in the neighbour hood of Tipperary was barbarously robbed and murdered on Friday night. I saw the murdered matt yesterday morning. The Tipperary Constitution has the following:— " PLUNDER OF PROYISIONS.—On Thusday, three at tacks on four flour carts were simultaneously made on the Caher, Marltield, and Old Cashel roads, and the provi sion with which they were loaded taken away by large mobs. In consequence of the number of applications made by parties requiring escorts, to protect their lives and properties, the magistrates, in order to lessen the harassing duties of the military and police, have deter mined that the following arrangem en t s shall in no case be deviated from. Escorts of military and police will proceed from the police barracks, Irishtown, on the mornings of Tuesdays and Saturdays, for Caher, at ten, A.w.; Mondays and Thursdays, for Clogheen, at ten, a.m.; Wednesdays and Fridays, for Cashel, at eleven, And that any cart which, from the badness of tbP horse, tackling, &c., causes unnecessary delay on the road, will be left behind. There are daily and nightly patrols of both military and police on the sev.ral roads in the vicinity of this town. The aspect of the times is indeed anything but cheering; the accounts from al! parts of the country are of the most alarming descrip tion." The Evening Post has the following regarding the state of Mayo:— " DEATII FROM STARVATION.—We have se'n a letter addressed to one of the trustees of the India Poor Relief Fund, dated Castlebar, December 19, in which the writer narrates the appalling fact that thirty-one persons have died from starvation in Castlebar and the adjoining districts during the last two months." The Cork Reporter of Saturday contains several letters from correspondents, fully corroborating the previous accounts as to the extreme destitution of the people in Skibbereen. Dr. Donovan says:— " Distress is fearfully increasing —disease spreading rapidly —employment getting scarce, and provisions be coming intolerably dear." COUNTY OF KERRY.—CAHIRCLVEEN.—Since the date of my last, a steamer arrived at our quays, laden with Indian meal for the tenantry of Daniel O'Connell. It i s altogether untrue that Mr. O'Connell':: tenantry were concerned in what has been called an attack upon the Government stores, as the inquiry about to be held on Saturday will show. LEITRIM.—DEATR FROM STARVATION.-•-•A poor IR bourers was found near Clonee with a hag of meal under his arm. He was employed at the public works, and was going home with his scanty store after receiving his payment, when he dropped never to rise. This is another case of death by starvation.—Ballinavloe Star. COUNTY OF GALWAY.—ANOTHER VICTIM TO STAR VATION !-It has been reported to us within the last week another unfortunate man has died of starvation in the neighbourqood of Spiddle.—Aid. A SKETCH OF IRISH LOCO MOTION. The Irish public have not, as yet, had an advanta geous opportunity of appreciating the superiority of railway travelling over the old-established means of locomotion. The Kingstown, to be sure, pays its share holders, notwithstanding the spirit of jobbing which taints it, as well as almost every other Irish under taking ; but then it should be remembered that it is a pet line, and only made use of to transmit the luxurious Dublin tits from their shops and counting-houses to suburban mansions, where they reposo until another day recals them to light and labour. But, look at the Drogheda affair, which neither gratifies the shareholders by " putting mons) , in their purses," nor the public, by carrying them quickly over the ground. The rate of travelling is very low, presenting a marked contrast to the charge for it, which is very high, when com pared with the accommodation on English lines. The pace, however, accomplished by tie engineer on the Drogheda line is the ne plus ultra of speed, when viewed in competition with the jog-trot system of going a head on the Dublin and Carlow Railway. Really, any one who has plenty of leisure and humour may en joy ample amusement by graduating to Carlow through the agency of the Great Southern and Western Railway. The swift footed pedestrian, who delights in the name of "The American Deer," and who has astonished so many admirers of human agility in England, I would back against the railway for as large a sum as a penny-a-liner might be expected to exhibit, and, ten to one, before half-a-dozen miles of the road had been covered, the puff would be out of the engine, and, in sporting phrase, it would be "nowhere." If the directors wish to make the undertaking pro , perons, they must display some spirit in keeping with the advanced state of science. As far as yet appears, if they had been prompted by a wish to disgust the community with travelling by steam carriages on iron roads they could not have done so more effectual than by their management of the line. As a medium of speedy transit it is the greatest farce that ever was imagined, and as the merry pantomime days are approaching, I would not be surprised if the fertile genius of Calcraft founded upon it a happy scene, in which would be represented a " monster" snail " drag ging its slow length along," and with it a train of car riages, the subject being further illustrated by the face tious clown exclaiming, " Tremendous travelling in the nineteenth century—Dublin to Carlow, at the rate of the sixteenth part of a knot in one hour." There are three or four stations along the line which may be serviceabl to the inhabitants of neighbouring towns or villages, but there are about a dozen which have been constructed for no public purpose whatever, that I could ascertain, unless it be anticipated that from the womb of time marts of commerce and manufactures may hereafter spring up among them. Whether those whom it most concerns—the shareholders—will regard the prospect of the country's prosperity a century hence as a full remunsration of their investments—whether they will be content with a draft upon . posterity, it is not for me to say. At each of these stations the train tarries about a quarter of an hour, and as they are neither few nor far between, a vast deal ef time is con sumed, most provokingly to energetic spirits, on the road. The utility of the system I could not fathom, as scarcely any persons emerged from or entered the car riages at the different stages excepting poor devils who were passing on to their labour, under the Board of Works, and who could not be expected to patronise any other vehicles than the Parliamentary or the penny-a• mile ones. For my own part, as my mission was one of observation and reflection, I had no particular wish to fly over the ground at the rate of a flash of lightning ; but there were two gentlemen in the box with me, who did not think there was any "luck in leisure." I should mention that the carriage was a second-class one ; the seats in which were not cushioned like those of the same rank on the Kingstown and Drogheda lines. To sit upon them for five or six consecutive hours, is assuredly "mortifying the flesh," and doi ng p enance f or one ' s sins. One of my fellow-travellers was a solicitor, who w as h astening to Clonmel to oppose the discharge of an insolvent, and he was afraid that, owing to the slo w mot i on o f t h e tra i n, he would not be in time for the coach to the capital of Tip israry, and Commi ss i oner F errell would have liberated his victim before in he could arri ve t o prevent hi m. The other was an emissary from a n entens i ve grocery esta blishment Dublin, that has a large business in the south of Ireland, but rarely allows its customers to amass fortunes. His object in travelling wa s th e b enevolent one of issuing an execution against the goods and chat tels of a molasses vendor in Waterford, and he was in anguish lest he might have taken wing to America, be fore he could reach the urbs intacta. The griefs depicted on the visages of this pair at the delay at each stage was irresistibly comic to an indifferent spectator like myself. If malisons, showered ad libitum by my temporary com panions upon the heath of railway directors and engi neers, can do them any mischief, I would be very sorry to stand in the shoes of any of these officials. As an illustration of the tedious system of locornotion on the Carlow line, I may state that its Operation has failed to drive the Wexford day coach, and the night mail, off the road. Although a coach leaves Wexford every morning for Carlow, people still prefer going the whole distance to Dublin by the old-fashioned four-in-hand vehicle. Would this be the case if anything like cele rity or comfort were studied by the directors of the railway ? Who would, at such a season as this, be con tent to be perched the livelong day upon the top of a coach, exposed to all the winds of heaven, if the rival conveyance by steam were not a magnificent humbug? Verily, it is well that the Queen's highway, running parallel with the Carlow Railway, is being kept in repair by the Board of Wog ks. We need it yet. There will be no chance of grass growing upon it, at all events, for lack of use, until the railway directors turn a new leaf, and, instead of making their undertaking a huge laugh ing-stock, render it worthy of a country that has long been sunk in degradation, but which is now bent upon its elevation.—Dublin World. IREL AND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, DEC. 21.—The usual weekly meeting of the members of this body was held to-day at one o'clock, in the Conciliation Hall. There was but a very thin attendance of members and associates present. Amongst those of the Committee upon the pl ttform were—Mr. O'Connell, M.P., Mr. J. O'Connell, M.P., Mr. N. Maher, M.P., Mr. J. A. O'Neill, Mr. Steele, Mr. C. M`Loughlin, Mr. James O'Hea, Mr. E Clements, Captain Broderick, &c. Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, the chair was taken by Mr. W. Thomas Kelly, solicitor. Mr. RAY (the Secretary) having read the minutes of the previous meeting, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Steele, and others, handed in various renewed subscriptions, includ ing 161. 10s. from Thurles ; 71. 16s. from Edinburgh ; 41. 13s. from Antrim ; and 31. 7s. froth Liverpool. A letter having been read, enclosing some subscrip tions, in which allusion was made to the Clare election of '2B, and the Catholic emancipation— Mr. O'CONNELL said that they had succeeded on that occasion, because they were unanimous, or nearly so, for, although they were joined by a few, those few were afterwards ready to reap all the fruits they could from the movement.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STEELE observed that Mr. William Smith O'Brien was at that time a member of the Catholic Association— and, notwithstanding. did all in his power to put out Mr. O'Connell, but his attempts were fruitless and faith less.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. O'CONNELL then brought up a report "upon the money question between England and Ireland," with reference to the threats that, he said, were held out, that the last penny advanced by the Govern ment that year to relieve the distress amongst the poor, would be most rigorously exacted from the landlords, even to the sale of their estates.—( Rear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman here referred to several London newspapers as his authority for this statement—(Hear, hear)—and the fact, he (Mr. O'Con • nell) believed, was, that the intention of the English people was to confiscate the lands of the Irish landlords under the Labour Act, and to purchase them up and keep them themselves.—(Hear, hear.) And under such circumstances, he would ask Irishmen of all creeds and politics, to lose not a moment in coming forward to join the Repeal Association, which would oppose the repay ment of one penny of the moneys then advanced, which were only a part of what was actually due to the country. --(Hear.) In conclusion, he moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. MAHER, MP., and passed. Mr. O'CONNELL here said he wished to make an ob servation which referred to himself. There was a little Orange rag in Kerry, called the Kerry Evening Post, which had lately stated that some of his tenants from Renard were engaged in an attack lately made in that county.—(Hear, hear.) Now he (Mr. O'Connell) had a letter from his son Maurice that morning, stating that this allegation was false; his tenants had made no attack, and had no need to make one, for he had sent them ten tons of Indian meal a few days before. Mr. CLEMENTS read a letter from Thurles, addressed to Mr. Maher, M.P., which, he said, proved that the Young Irelanders were not the only Repealers in that town, as had been stated.—(Hear.) Some subscriptions having been handed in, Mr. O'CONNELL then came forward to address the meeting. He said that the first thing he would refer to was the horrible state of the country.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") They must have all read the awful letter in that day's paper from Mr. Comyn, of Skibbereen, who detailed a series of the most disgusting cases of wretchedness—cases of such a nature, that they were never equalled before in a Christian country. Now, a remedy they should have for this state of things—and he would at once tell the Government what the remedy was he required. He wanted 30,000,000/. of money to be lent to Ireland—to be re paid out of the revenues of the country, and not out of the pockets of the landlords. He (Mr. O'Connell) had joined the Agricultural Society to call on the Govern ment to relieve the poor and to relieve the landlords of Ireland from burdens they were unable to bear ; but that body was not one calculated to carry out his views. He hoped to have an aggregate meeting of land lords in Dublin in a few days, which would not be afraid of their own shadows. They would pint and make propositions to relieve the country permanently, and prepare petitions to the Government to take up exten sive measures of relief ; and in such a work he would not grudge to give up his Christmas holidays. They had leisure to consider these things—they had time to think of something besides the Young Irelanders. This question of reconciliation was all over— there was an end to it: and as the association was able and willing to work by itself for repeal, in total dis regard to the machinations of the little Ireland party, he would tell that party that he gave them his defiance.— (Loud cheers.) Now, he was assailed for stooping to the Young Irelanders, and he was told that they would claim a triumph.—(Hear, hear.) Of course, he knew that such would be the case before he made an offer of reconciliation, he knew he would be so taunted ; yet it did not hinder him from making the offer—and why?— (Hear, hear.) Because the result he knew must turn out in his favour.—(Cheers) What had he done? He sacrificed his feelings and his pride—and, after a strug gle for Ireland for fifty years, he was ready to place the palms of his hands under the feet of the seceders to bring them back and obtain unanimity ; in fact, he did all but sacrifice principle, and they, nevertheless, refused his offers—ungraciously refused them.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) was glad at having made this effort, and at what had occurred, although he could not but regret that there was not a reunion. He was glad at what had occurred, because important facts had come out—for instance, Dr. Miley stated in his letter a matter which he had altogether forgotten— (Hear, hear)—it was an inciden t that occurred a few weeks before the secession, in his own house.—(Cheers.) Mr. Meagher was in his (Mr. O'Connell's) stuiy, and Doctor Miley came in ; and, in the course of conversation, he spoke to Mr. Meagher as to the language he used in Conciliation Hall, telling him he ought to abstain from such language, as it might place their necks in jeopardy ; in reply to which Mr. Meagher said he would offer himself to be hanged, in case his language should lead to such a result ; but he (Mr. O'Connell) stated that perhaps he would not be taken. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded at considerable length to discuss the difference between the Old and Young Irelanders. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and after the announcement of the rent, 88 the meeting adjourned. THE MURDER OF MR. LYNCH. The inquest on the body of the unfortunate Mr. Lynch, of Clonkeely, has been continued at Tuam, from day b day, during the last week, before the coroner and a most painstaking and intelligent jury. All the cir cumstances connected with this bloody tragedy have been, or will be, thoroughly investigated, and though the evidence had not closed at the time of the dispatch of our active correspondent's letter, yesterday evening, sufficient has transpired to warrant th e au th or i t i es in .. --- ... ordering the apprehension of five individuals, upon whom there rests something more than suspicion.— Galway Mercury. PROVISION RIOTS IN TIPPERARY.—MURDER. The following communication has been addressed to the Dublin Evening l'ost : " CAHER, DEC. 20.—This country is in a frightful state—robberies of all descriptions, flour in particular, notwithstanding the protection of police escorts. As I write this, a company of soldiers has been called out of the barracks here to protect a quantity of flour on its way from Clonmel to Limerick and Tipperary. Last evening about one hundred and fifty cars laden with flour, the property of several persons, accompanied by police, on the way to Tipperary, had only gone half a mile outside this town when the drivers were obliged to return back, the road being blockaded by armed men and women with other weapons, and determined to take the flour at risk of life. I cannot enumerate or describe the quantity of robberies and the appalling distress of the people. ANOTHER DISASTER ON THE 33DINBeRGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY, On Saturday night the passenger train which left Edinburgh for Glasgow at five o'clock was suddenly stopped a few hundred yards before arrival at the Castlecary station, in consequence, as it appeared, of the complete blocking-up of the rails by the ruins of a previous train of lug4age waggons and cattle-trucks. A. gentleman who was a passenger by the train has com municated a few of the particulars to us. He states that he never beheld such a scene of devastation and horror. Numbers of oxen—some alive or half alive, and some quite dead—were seen lying amongst the wreck of several of the trucks, and crowds of people were busily employed in endeavouring to extricate them. The ruins of the engine, or, at all events, a fire of some kind was on the bank, smoking and burn ing, and several of the trucks lay directly across the rails, perceptible only in the glare of the fire, or by the faint light of the lanterns that were car ried hither and thither amid the crowd. It was not at first known to the passengers whether any human lives were lost in this calamity, and while this uncertainty existed, nothing could exceed the horror a n d c o nfu s i o n of the scene—people running about here and there giv ing contradictory orders. and masters and servants seem ingly quite ignorant of what ought to be done. It after wards turner', out that no passengers by th e train had been injured, and no lives lost, except th ose o f th e c a ttl e . How the accident occurred is not known. Railway ser vants are never very fond of giving information in such cases as these, and no intelligence whatever could be procured from them as to the cause of this calamity. The greatest mystery was made of it ; but amid the many rumours that were afloat, the one that obtained the most credence was, that it had been caused by au improper signal at the Castlecary station, by which means an engine had been d r i ven i n t o the cattle trucks. If legislative interference be not neces sary in railways generally for the preservation of the lives of the public—a point on which we shall say no thing just now—it seems to us that some special enact ment should be made with regard to this line, which has of late become quite notorious through the whole coun try for mismanagement of every d escr i pt i on . I n conse quence of the discontinuance of the Sunday trains, we believe that this train was more than usually heavy ; and we need scarcely point out the awful results that would have ensued had this accident occurred to the pas sengers' train instead of to the cattle trucks. Our inform ant, who luckily succeeded in procuring a carriage for himself and some ladies, where the only passengers that had arrived in Glasgow up to 10 o'clock on Saturday night ; and the mass of broken trucks and engines, and mangled bullocks that were left on the rails at his de • parture was so great, as evidently to require the labour of all the available hands to be procured for six or seven hours, before the line could be cleared. Under these circumstances, we suppose that even the four directors have admitted the propriety of setting men to work on the Sabbath. The necessity and mercy were too obvious even for them to cavil at; though to expect that they will learn a lesson of charity from it, and suppose it possible that other people may have works of necessity and mercy to perform between Glasgow and Edinburgh on the Sabbath, is, perhaps, expecting too much from people who presume to be buth law-givers and theolo gians. As we go to press early this morning, we have been unable to obtain further particulars. We understand that a large deputation of the citizens of Glasgow, ac companied by the Lord Provost, went into Edinburgh on Saturday to wait upon the Lord Advoeate, intend ing to return by the last train in the evening. Whether they have yet arrived we cannot tell; but it is very doubtful whether they could arrive in time for church yesterday ironing without hiring post-chaises for the purpose. — Glasgow Argus. LINGERING SUPERSTITIONS , A clergyman, in the account of a parish in Orkney. in Sir John Sinclair's" Statistical Account of Scotland," regretted the rapid disappearance of the superstitions which had such fast hold of the minds of our forefathers, such as a belief in witchcraft, and thought that the French Revolutirn ought to be a warning to us not lightly to meddle with popular prejudices. People who live in great cities are apt to undervalue the inconvenience to which enlightened individuals are often expo Fol from the superstitions still lingering in remote parts of the country. If a house has anyhow obtained the reputation of being haunted, it is with difficulty that a female servant can be induced to pass the night in it. Though the law throughout Europe at this day takes no cognisance of witchcraft, yet in districts where the multitude possess power, such as the Forest Cantons of Switzerland, it was with the utmost difficulty that an en , I could be put to punishments for witchcraft. An indivi dual was executed for that crime in one of these cantons, so late as 1785. Whoever possesses any knowledge of German litera ture, must have rend the letters from Johannes Von Muller, the historian of Switzerland, to Boustetten, a Patrician of Berne, published under the title of "Letters of a young Scholar." Bonstetten was also an author, and though less distinguished than his correspondent, was not without his celebrity. In one of his publications he gives an account of an excursion of his friend Muller and himself in the canton of Lucerne. On a beautiful summer day they were seated before an inn door, under a shady tree, in one of the most picturesque parts of Switzerland. Muller, who generally carried a classic in his pocket, took out a Tacitus, and began to read it aloud. A monk was preaching to a multitude at some distance, and all of a sudden Boustetten perceived the multitude making hastily towards them. The landlord advised them to depart with all expedition. They heard the words y'fiorene uttered loudly. The literal meaning is frozen persons, but it seems it has the local meaning of what the Scotch would call uhcanny. They were at last obliged to take to their heels, assisted by a gentleman, who attempted a diversion in their favour, and it was with the utmost difficulty they succeeded in reaching the Berne frontier in time to save their lives. Bonstetten being a man of great consequence, the canton of Bern. made an angry representation to Lucerne against this outrage, and some proceedings were adopted against the monk, who was supposed to have excited the multitude by an appeal to their superstiti on . S t ill, t h oug h t h e two friends escaped with a whole skin, and had the satisfaction of knowing that the outrage was resented, we will answer for it that neither of them would ever afterwards feel so comfortable when admiring a pic turesque scene with Swiss peasants in the foreground. Coleridge in his Autobiography gives an account of his residence at Stowey, on the south-west coast of Eng land. His friend Wordsworth, who had charge of a pupil of distinction, occupied a respectable mansion at a short distance from him. Wordsworth was in the habit of walking in his garden by moonlight, and spouting poetry. The neighbourhood took alarm, conceiving Wordsworth to be a most formidable wizard, and the gentleman from whom the mansion was hired would for no consideration allow the great p oe t t o cont i nue to oc cupy it. It may be questioned whether it would yet be safe to spout poetry by moonlight in really parts of England, more especially the west. That there are wizards in Devonshire who contri ve t o ma k e a good inferred thing of it, may be from what occasionally transpires at assizes. It is very generally reported that, at Lord John Russell's last election for Devonshire, the Tories got hold of a celebrated wizard, who at the pre ceding election had been on the Reform side, and that this fellow had influence enough to deter several persons from voting for his Lordship. The poetry of superstition is all very :fine. Sitting by a good fire on a winter's evening, a German Volks marchen by Musaeus may be a great treat ; but it is quite another thing to come in contact with superstition in real life, stripped of poetical adornment. A mind enslaved by degrading superstitions acts in a way often not a little inconvenient to others. The belief in the evil eye, which prevails so generally in Italy and the Levant, has brought many a man into much trouble. NEW SOUTH WALES. ATTEMPTS AT DIS FELIX. COVERY IN AUSTRALIA The Galway Advertiser of the Bth of August has the following account of a frustrated expedition of Mr. Smythe, colonial surveyor:—"Yesterday this indefati gable explorer returned from his second expedition to Cape Otway. His return has been hastened in conse- quence of the murder of one of his men by the blacks. After the expedition left the Barwon Heads, about a month ago, they encountered a succession of westerly gales, and made several ineffectual attempts to get round the cape. They at last landed on the eastern side and encamped, while Mr. Smythe, accompanied by four men, penetrated to the westward to survey the Eyre River. Mr. Smythe started on the 25th of July. Proceeding along the shore they fell in with a tribe of blacks, c( nt • posed of one man, four women, and three boys, all V whom had been at the tent some days before. Mr. Smythe prevailed on the man and one of the boys to act as his guide to Gunna-waar, or Eyredale. After travelling for about three hours, they came to a part of the country with which Mr. Smythe was familiar, and as he had no further use for the blacks, he sent them to the tents, first giving them a supply of tea, and a note to the coxswain, directing him to give them some flour. Mr. Smythe re turned on the evening of the 31st, when he learned that one of the men, named Conroy, had been barbarously murdered about 200 yar d s from the tent, where he had gone to cut wood. Thi s h appene d on S un d ay morn i ng between nine and ten o'clock. The blacks had arrived at the tent early that morning, and had been supplied with . damper. They th en went away along the b each ; and . just previous to th e mur d er t h ey were seen re turntne, making a great noise. On their again retiring, the body of the deceased was found by his companions dreadfully mangled about the head, and life entirely ex tinct. A tomahawk was found near the spot, with which no doubt the blows had been inflicted. The left jaw was broken, and there were several deep gashes on the left temple ; there were three deep cuts on the neck and throat, the clothing had been stripped from the body and carried off —even the boots were not left behind. The body WAS not mutilated in any other manner, so that it appears the only ob ject of the murderers was to possess themselves of the clothing worn by the unfortunate man. The body W 95 buried. After this event, Mr. Smythe finding his stock of provisions nearly exhausted, deemed it ad visable to return. The party, therefore, re-embarked, and sailed eastward to Loutit Bay (under Plattopped Point), a well-sheltered harbour, where they beached their whale-boat, and secured it above high-water mark, Mr. Smythe determinin g t o ma k e hi s wa y to Geelong by land. It is his intention, we believe, to make a third excursion to the Cape Otway country as soon as he has given in his report to Government. Under the circum stances of Mr. Smythe's return, he was prevented from bringing many geological specimens. On one part of the coast the cliffs are a pure chalk, and he has ascer tained that the coal formation extends to the westward of the Cape, towards Moonlight Head. In the neigh bourhood of Loutit Bay there are immense beds of rot tenstone, used for poli s hi ng b rass , &c. The rivers and water courses were almost Impassable from the floods." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Paterson, a tailor, was summoned before Mr. Al derman Wilson for assaulting Mark Anthony Markham, his apprentice. Mr. Scott, a solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, tth jected that he was not an apprentice, for the indenture had not been stamped, and was not worth a farthing, The lad's father said this was very odd, as this gentle man drew up the indenture, and charged 14s. 6d. for his trouble. He also told him that all was complete. Mr. Scott replied, he told him it would require a stamp for 11. If the father had not paid it, that was his tault. The father denied that he received any such intima tion. The defendant told his boy about three w4•eks after the binding that he could have an apprentice with a 501. premium, and he had ill-used him ever since. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN said it was an ungracious act on the part of the solicitor to seek to take advantage of the want of a stamp. He ought not to have prepared such indentures, or should have given the parties lull notice that they were of no use whatever if they were not stamped. Mr. Scott said his client bad no desire to take any ad vantage, and he was ready to carry out the indenture as if it w..re stamped. lie told the father they ought to be stamped... Mi. Alderman WILSON said he could take cognizance of a charge of assault without regard to the apprentice ship. He asked what premium was paid? The master said none. It was a binding for only two years. The boy was a thorough bad temper. Mr. Alderman Johnson joined Mr. Alderman Wilson in hearing the case. It appeared that the boy came forty minutes beyond his time, during which the master was workinc , without a fire on a frosty day. Wh en th e l a d b egan to light the fire he threw the fender aside so as to break a piece of it off, and chip a piece off the oil cloth. The master ordered him to leave. The boy would not go, and in resisting his master's efforts to force him out gave him a black eye. The boy had previously received two blows in the face, and had been beaten over the arms to make him give up his hold of a looking glass, which he meant to pull down if his master persisted in forcing him away. The MAGISTRATES wereof opinion that the master had given way to unnecessary violence in the outset, instead of appealing to the magistrate. At the same time, con sidering that the apprentice had struck the master, they reduced the fine to ss. and costs. As 'he servant was paid weekly wages, he might set up his claim for wages at the Court of Requests, if the master refused to pay what was due to him. A donation of 101. was received from the Goldsmiths' Company. THAMES. GENERAL FLORES' EXPEDITION.—Towards the close of the proceedings at this Court Mr. Adderley With:oche Sleigh, K.T.S., who, it was understood, was to have commanded the squadron intended to aid General Flores' expedition was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged by Inspector Evans of the river police, under the 59th Geo. 111., cap. 69, sec. 2, with unlawfully enlisting British subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the sanction or consent of her liajesty. Mr. Cottering, solicitor to the Board of Customs, who attended for the prosecution, said that as the defendant had only been just arrested, the case was not in a state for thorough investigation then, but he would pro duce evidence sufficient to warrant a remand. He then called John Wyming, resident at No. 9, Crown street, Westminster, who deposed that he was an Englishman, and had served in the Portuguese Legion. About seven weeks ago he was engaged to act as sergeant in a corps going to the Equador, and was told at the time that he would be certain of promotion. On the 15th ult. he was sent to the Angel, at Botherhithe, where he saw Cap tain Sleigh, with whom he had served on the continent, who was passing two or three hundred men, as they were examined by the doctor. The captain told the men they were going to the Equador, were the privates were to have six dollars per month, the corporals eight, and the sergeants twelve, with clothes, rations. a house, two bullocks, and a cow each, He told the men that they must not object to fight if they found it necessary to protect their property, but he said privately to witness, " You are the sort of man I want, though the others need not know anything about the matter." Wit ness heard something mentioned in the presence of the prisoner about the men thus engaged being called emi grants, but he did not hear the term soldier used, unless the word sergeant could be so construed. A promise was held out to the men that they would find most corn fortzble accommodation on board the vessels engaged for the expedition, namely, the Mo narc h, t h e N eptune, and the Glenelg. Witness had instructions to engage all the old hands he could fall in with, by which he understood those who had served with himself and the defendant, in Spain and Portugal. Witness acted in accordance with his instructions, and his mode of doing so was after the usual way of military enlistment. lie had no doubt that he himself was enlisted for some foreign mili tary service. Thomas Rinings was then called, and stated that he was a lapidary, residing at 6, Wood's-buildings, George street, Chelsea. He had served under Captain Sleigh in Spain, and seeing a placard headed "Emigration to the Equador," with a reference to Captain Sleigh, ap plied to that gentleman, who said he was the sort of man he wanted, and desired him to procure as many of the " old bench" as possible to join General Flores in South America. Witness did not understand more than that they were to drive away some Don Roquo, who had been set up as Presid en t, an d th at Generat Flores did not wish to undertake the expedition without the assis tance of an English force. Captain Sleigh on that ocea ,ion stated that there would not be much military ser vice to be performed, as the breast work and batteries were such as any man of spirit might kick down with his foot. Witness had engaged 50 or 60 men, and dis tinctly understood that he had engaged them for a ini iitary service. The defendant, however, told some of the men that they were going out as emigrants, whilst he told others that they were going out as soldiers. Mr. YARDLEY said there was sufficient evidence to call upon the defendant to find bail to answer the charge. _ _ The defendant, a fine agile-lcolcing young fellow, about 30 years of age, whose features were deeply bronzed by exposure to various climes, and who looked more like a Spaniard than a native of the sister isle, asked with a tone of mingled surprise and composure, " What is the charge?" Mr. YARDLEY—That of unlawfully enlisting British subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the sanction of their sovereign. Captain Sleigh—Why these men have already served under a foreign power, and I am not aware that they had such sanction. Mr. YARDLEY—That does not form the question now before me. The defendant (glancing contemptuously at the wit nesses)—l do not pretend to understand the question, for my solicitor is not here. All I know is, that these faithful followers, who tell you that tney fought with and served under me in Spain, have been brought here for some paltry purpose, that I cannot approve ; and I am glad to find that General Flores' expedition is not likely to be disgraced by the service of such despicable wretches. They solicited the service from me, for they sought me, and I not them. It was unnecessary for you, sir, to issue a warrant for my apprehension ; the slightest intimation that my presence here would be necessary would have instantly brought me. Ido not feel myself at all disgraced by my position; for being bred to arms, I would, in the pursuit of my profession, engage in any foreign service not opposed to my own legitimate sovereign. Mr. YARDLEY held the prisoner to bail to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court, himself in 2001., and two sureties of 1001. each ; but he will be brought up again to complete the evidence. CRUELTY TO A HORSE. - A brutal-looking fellow, named Charles Frankling, was charged with horribly maltreating a horse, the property of Mr. David Stevens, corn merchant, of North-street, Poplar. It appeared that the horse was a young and playful animal, and would bite, through mere playfulness, at those who were employed in dressing it up for the night. The prisoner, though cautioned as to the animal's pro pensities, neglected the usual precaution of binding him up by a head-stall, and the consequence was, that it gave him a nip in the side, which broke the flesh. The fellow immediately seized the stable fork, and after belabouring the poor animal desperately about the sides, plunged one of the prongs deeply into the fleshy part of one of its hind-quarters. The veterinary surgeon could not say whether the animal would or would not survive the injury, and the complainant stated that he was at a loss per day amounting to almost 11. The prisoner was fined 405., and in default committed fur fourteen days. LAMBETII. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO AN INFANT BY ITS MOTHER, —Emma Allen, a rather good-looking young woman, at present an inmate of Lambeth workhouse, was brought before Mr. Elliott, by order of Mr. Bushell, one of the guardians of Lambeth parish, on a charge of ill-using an infant, her illegitimate offspring. Several witnesses were examined, who deposed to the Prisoner having been in the habit of treating her infant with great inhum a nity, snch as feeding it with food so hot as to scald its mouth, and so beating, pinching, and bruising it as to reduce it to a wretched state. Mr. Johnson, assistant to Mr. Duke, the parish sur geon, deposed that he bad attended the prisoner's child for some time, and did not at any time perceive any marks of violence upon it. The complaint under which the child was labouring was diarrhoea, and it was much worse now than while he had been attending it. Mr. ELLvoTT—Had you ever examined the child to ascertain if there were marks of violence upon it? Witness—No, sir, I did not ; I had not the slightest suspicion that it had been ill-used, and th ere f ore did not think it necessary to examine it. ~ . . Mr. ELLIOTT-- H - ow long has it been ill? Wit ness -- About five weeks. Mr. ELLIOTT—DO you think the diarrhoea might have been produced by the infant being bruised and pinclled, or giving to it food too hot, as has been de scribed, or has it been the result of natural causes? Witness— From natural causes, I should think. Mr. ELLIOTT—What was your opinion as to the pri soner's treatment of her infant? Witness—She did not appear to me to be over kind or attentive to her infant. Mr. Bushell here said that the matron of the ward had frequently spoken to the prisoner about her negli gence and treatment of her infant, and he wished to ask the prisoner what her replies used to be? Prisoner— I always told her. " I had a right to do what I liked with my own." Mr. ELLIOTT—This expression, together with the evidence that has been given, satisfies me that you are not a person who should be entrusted with the care of an infant. It is quite clear that you are a person of very violent temper, and that you have not treated your child as you should have done, and my order therefore is, that the child be taken from you, and sent to the nursery, and that you yourself be taken back to the , --- workhoup: e un til you can provide yourself with a T i ne prisoner was then discharged. ROBBERY AT A STLE es THEATRE.— George Morris, property man, and I homas IVray, one of the carpenters at Asti , y's Theatre, were finally examined on a charge of stealing eight wands, the property of Mr. William Batty, their employer. From the testimony of Mr. Batty, the proprietor of Astley's Theatre, and Mr. Broadfo9t, his stage manager, it appeared that on Sunday evening last the former gen• tletuan was sitting near the outer gate when the men were going away from work, and observing the prisoner Wray suddenly tura hack on perceiving him, he fol lowed him, and found in his possession six four-feet and two six-feet wands, handsomely painted and decorated with rich tinsel paper. He gave varied accounts about the property, but at length admitted that he had made them from the timber belonging to Mr. Batty, for Mor ris, the property man, and was taking them out for his use. Morris did not deny that the wands, which were for a private order, had been made from the wood belong ing to Mr. Batty, and by Wray, one of the carpenters, but said that the tinsel paper, colouring, and decoration were his own, Ile was unable, however, to prove the latter ; ad Mr. ELLIOTT ordered both prisoners for trial. On the kind intercession of Mr. Batty, who said that Morris had been for a I. , ngth of time in his service, at a salary of two guineas a week, and the other prisoner had also been in his employment tor some time, and, with overtime, earned nearly as much, the case was taken summarily, and the prisoners were committed for 21 days each to the Honse of Correction. G REENTV IC 11. ALLEGED FELON Y.—James Scudder, a sawyer, and G. Furnam, a dissolute fellow, hsving no fixed place of abode, were charged with stealing a clock, the property of Richsrd Thomas, a coachman, residing at Sydenham, under the following circumstances : Mr. Thomas deposed that himself and wife were sitting: by the parlour fire, about half past eight o'clock the pre ceding evening, when he heard the street-door forced open, and immediately afterwards the prisoners came into the parlour and walked rcund the table, Scudder lighting his pipe at the candle. They then left the house, and immediately after they were gone, a boy came arid told him that a man had run off with his clock, which was kept in the passage. John Hopkins stated that he was standing near the house when he he saw the pris'iner Furnam come out with the clock under his arm, and make off as fast as he was able, and because witness noticed him, he used very abusive and threatening language. The other prisoner was standing at the door, but left immediately after wards, going the contrary way. C. Lever, police-constable, 72 R, deposed that he ap prehended the prisoners, both of whom denied taking the clock away. The clock was subsequently found secreted in the out premises of the Woodman beer-shop, which is kept by the father of the prisoner Scudder. .f. Jenkinson, 10 R, deposed that he found the clock. The pendulum and weights were found in the road, but the bell of the clock was lost. Scudder denied being concerned in the clock robbery, or that he knew it had been removed off the premises. He had certainly gone in and lit his pipe, and that was his only offence. Mr. Thomas said he did not believe Scudder would wob him; he had an opinion that Scudder would do no thing wrong towards him. The police-constable told Mr. Jeremy that the prisoner Furnam was a painter and glazier, but seldom worked, and slept about in sheds and barns at night. Mr. JEREMY said, he did not think felony was in tended, but a most daring and impudent trespass had been committed by both prisoners, and he should fine them 104. each, and order them to pay ss. each for the damage done to the clock, and in default he should com mit them for one month to the House of Correction. The prisoners were locked up. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 23. STOCK EXCHANGE.-The market has been decidedly firm to day, and a large business done.

TUB POLES IN SIBERIA.—A Polish journal, pub lished in Paris, gives a long account of the exile to Si beria, and escape of a Pole named Piotrowski, who had taken part in the Polish insurrection of 1831, and sub sequently found refuge in France. In 1843 M. Piotrow ski left France, and contrived, under the assumed name of Cataro, to enter Russia, where he established himself as a teacher of the French language, and remained un suspected for nine months, at the end of which period he was denounced by a person named Lesczinski, to whom he had imprudently revealed who he was. He was ar rested and sent in chains to Kief, where he was sen tenced to be shot, but the Governor-General commuted his sentence to hard labour for life in Siberia, and the commutation was confirmed by the Emperor. The de nuneiator, Lesczinski, received the thanks of the go vernment and the decoration of the order of Saint Sta nislaus. On his arrival in Siberia, Piotrowski was sent to work in a distillery belonging to Prince Gortchakoff, at Ekaterinsk, and where he found 300 convicts, all of whom, with the exception of two Poles exiled for politi cal offences, were thieves and murderers. At the be ginning of January last, M. Piotrowski, unable to bear this association and the hard labour and bad food to which he was condemned, resolved to attempt an escape, and has succeeded, after undergoing dreadful hardships and privations. He travelled at night, swimming through rivers and lakes, and cone, aling himself occasionally during the day under the snow. He r, ached Paris on the 22d October last, after having travelled at least 4,000 leagues on foot. M. Piotrowski asserts, but which we much doubt, that the number of Poles now in exile in Si beria exceeds 50,000, many of whom are condemned to hard labour in various establishments, and are treated with great rigour ; others are placed on lauds belonging to the Government. Wild fowl was never so abundant or cheap as at present. The country " boys" are engaged every day at the pastime of shooting game, but the largest field day is the Sabbath, when shuts may be heard popping in all directions. The consequence is, that fowl are hawked about the town for sale in the greatest plenty.— Lit/wick Chronicle.
