THE LAW OF- ENTAIL.—A meeting of the proprie tors of entailed estates in Scotland was held in the Hope. toun Rooms on Thursday, for " the purpose of considering the great national evil connected with the law of entail, and the propriety of an immediate application to the Legis lature thereupon," The meeting being a preliminary one, the representatives of the press were not allowed access to it. We have, however, been furnished with the following outline of the proceedings :—Sir David Baird, Bart., in the absence of the Marquis of Breadalbaue (from whom a com munication was made to the meeting), was called to the chair, and gave a lucid statement of the injurious effects of the law of entail in preventing free commerce in land, and particularly as preventing those improvements now rendered necessary to meet the expected competition of foreign corn, and the adjustment of rights between landlord aid tenant. As was to be expected, when a subject of such momentous interest was brought before them for the first time, there were different opinions stated by the proprietors present as to the proper mode of following up the move ment. We understand, however, that a unanimous reso lution was entered into, remitting to a committee, of which the most noble the Marquis of Breadalbane was to be chairman, and Sir David Baird, Bart., the convener, to consider as to the best mode of seeking a legislative remedy for the evils of the entail law, and to call other and more extended meetings as they might deem proper. The meeting, which was pretty nu merously attended, lasted for about two hours, and only one feeling was expressed as to the great national evil inflicted by the law in question, and subscriptions were entered into for carrying forward the movement, and defraying the neces sary expenses. — Scotsman. YoSSIBLE EXECUTION OF A WOMAN AT DURHAM.— We need no apology for directing the earnest attention of our readers to the case of the unhappy woman now lying under sentence of death in Durham gaol. The facts disclosed in our report of the trial must reach every heart, and draw a tear of compassion from every eye. The case is one of the most painful that can be conceived. Here is 4 young woman seduced and deserted—driven by a step-mother front her home and deprived of all her former friends—banished from place to place, unable to obtain an asylum anywhere, carrying with her a child clotted in rags which she was unable to nourish, and with a halfpenny in her pocket, tempted to destroy her own offspring that it might escape from the woes of earth ! She is tried for murder, and we feel bound to say that the jury, acting upon their oaths, returned the only honest verdict which they could deliver, when they pronounced her guilty ; and having satisfied justice by that verdict, they accompanied it with a strong recommendation to mercy. Justice Patte - son intimated that their recommendation should be forwarded to the proper authorities, and proceeded to discharge his duty (and a most painful one it was) by sentencing the nnhappy woman to a felon's death. It now behoves the public to do their duty, by memorialising tne queen through the medium of the Home Secretary, to spare the culprit's life, Guilty, it is true, she has been of a foul crime; but look at her hell:ries; condition, her utter destitution, and her over powering temptations, ne, victim of male libertinism, she demands our pity. Let her not be cast out of the lap of society, as one unfit to live. She may be recovered and restored, At all events, let her We the ckance of evincing the sincerity of her penitence by re forming her life in a far distant land. Especially do we invite those who, on principle, are averse to capital punishments to bestir them selves in this matter, and do all they can to prevent the strangula -1 tion of a ruined and friendless woman on a public scaffold in the capital of this county.—rsun4fland ger*. . . ,-- . , •.. . . ~-• • . ...,. .. ~....---... - ~...- '..-.•• - - - - ;:-; 1:::'. --'• r T " ti '' ,. , , — ,.

A new burlesque, entitled Hop o'my Thumb, from the prolific pen of Albert - Smith, was produced at this theatre last evening, for the purpose of introducing the renowned General Tom Thumb as an actor. The General, of course, acted the part of the hero, and never before did little man appear so great. The legend is closely followed, as far as regards the adventures of Hop o'my Thumb, albeit King Cole, with his Fiddlers three, " and his army of five, is introduced to eke out the plot of the drama. By the by, it is to be regretted that Mr. Albert Smith did not make him a President instead of a King. He might have poked some. excellent fun at Polk by so doing, for worthy King Cole is quite a match for the Presidmt, in words and ways and means. But to the:General, a per son of infinitely more weight (albeit he only weighs fifteen pounds) than Mr. President Polk. He is the drama,' and therefore is the whole play contained in a nutshell ; for, in the first scene, certain fairies bring to King Oberon a nut, which he cracks, and out hops the little great man, in the double capacity of General and Kernel. The story then goes on "by the book." He is sent with his brothers into the forest. He re views the King's army of five. He finds the Ogre's shoe, which he incautiously turns into a carriage, and in which he is dragged off by his brothers to the Ogre's castle. He overhears the Ogre's plan for murdering himself and his brothers, and changes the nightcaps for the gold crowns of the Ogre's children. He effects the es cape of himself and his brothers—has a broadsword com bat a la Hicks and Hughes, with a jealous rustic— robs the ogre of his seven-leagued boots—takes the command of the army which is to encounter the Ogre ; and, previously to going forth, is shaved to the tune of Larg' al Factotum, by a regular Barbiere di gualita, sallies forth to fight the Ogre to the air of Suona la tramba, and brings him in a prisoner to the Druid chorus in Norma —ending by entering his own carriage and tour, with coachmen, footmen, sc., and dri%ing off at the conclusion of the piece. He was loudly called for at the fall of the curtain, and announced the piece for repetition amidst the loudest applause. Bouquets were thrown to him from all parts of the house. The Gene ral picked up as many of them as he could carry, and walked off with a load of flowers, many of which were individually taller, and all of which, collectively, were certainly heavier than himself. ADELPHI. Honour to Mr. Stirling Coyne for writing. honour to the Adelphi management for producing, one of the most glorious farces that has ever been acted, Read-r, are you getting plethoric, fat, heavy, and stupid?—has your medical man prescribed for you with a view to shake your sides, and to srimuhtto your absorbents?—do you wish to enjoy yourself, to laugh, to scream for halt an hour ? Go and see the new 'Adelphi farce. It is Al, although it is entitled, Did you ever send your wife to Camberwell? A question as dull as ever counsel put to witness, but the answer to which affinals matter for in finite mirth. Mr. Chesterfield Honeybun (Mr. Wright) did send his wife to Camberwell—a wife whom he had married without tbe consent of relations—a wife, more over, young, preitf(MiSs Wkiilgar acted the part), and j aloes ; and during their absence from their Mrs. Crank (Mrs. F. Matthews), with her habY, takes pos• essio.i of the said attic. Mrs. Crank, imagin ing that the attic is the lodging of her husband, Mr. Isaac Crank (Mr. 0. Smith), clockmaker of Stoke Pojis, who has come up to London on busines, she leaves her child in the bed, and goes out to seek her husband. .Crank, hearing a child cry, enters the room, and re cognising his own blessed " babby," which he had thought safe and sound at Stoke Nis, incautiously becomes jealous. No sooner has he left than Honeybun enters, and, finding the b a by i n hi s b e d, and fearing his wife's jealousy, hides it behind a Chet of drawers. As he leaves, his aunt en ters t o b r i ng about a reconciliation, fancies it is a juvenile Honeybun, and takes it away to adopt it. Crank returns, meets Honeybun, accuses him as the seducer of his wife, seivs him by the throat, throws him against the drawers, which fall, and, as Honeybun believes, " squashed" the child. Afraid of being accused of murder he gets out on the roof of the house, and Mrs. Crank entering tired by her walk very quietly ensconces herself in Honeybun's bed. Driven in by a shower of rain, Honeybun finds her there, and at the same time hears his jealous wife ascending the stairs. Fancy Wright in this quandary. Words cannot do justice to the rich humour with which this scene was given. The ,dialogue, what we could catch of it, was pointed, keit the shunts of laughter were so loud, and so continuous that it was impossible to hear two consecutive sentences. To increase the confusion Crank enters and finds Honeybun on his knees before Mrs. Crank. He is imploring her forgiveness for what he calls babycide; he is, however, relieved by the entrance of Aunt Jewell with the baby, and then it comes out that Crank lives on the floor below, and that Mrs. Crank has mistaken the room. The piece ends with a declaration on the part of Honeybun of his inten tion to send his wife to Camberwell every night, a promise which, we doubt not, he will keep for some fifty nights ha come. The artistes, baby, and all were called for at the fall of the curtain, and in this instance most certainly the honour was richly deserved. NEW BARRACKS AT WOOLWICH. The Board of Ordnance having given not i ce to the Ad miralty that the west square of the Royal Artillery Barracks, at present occupied by the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, will be shortly required fo r the accommodation of the 10th battalion, about to be raised , and the numerous re cruits for the Royal Artillery almost daily joining at head quarters, the works at the new Royal Marine Barracks have been ordered to be expedited for the reception of the corps. The whole of the brick-work of the extensive new Royal Marine Barracks, capable of accommodating upwards of 1,000 men, with residences for their officers, has been erected, and it is expected will be fully completed within three months from the Ist inst. The basement story will be occupied as kitchens far cooking, and contain large iron ranges, with every convenience tnr that purpose. The floors are formed of large flag-A' 11es adjoining the fire-places, and the other parts of asphalte on a concrete foundation. To prevent the possibility of the building being destroyed by fire, the whole of the joists are of metal, and the only parts made of wood are the window-sashes and steps leading to the first and second stories. The floors of the first and second stories ar,, formed of asphalte on concrete foundations, placed up. m brick arches, and there are no tire-places in the apartments above the base ment story, the whole of them heiug heated by an apparatus for circulating hot air, which is effected by the aid of an Archimedean-screw eight feet in diameter, connected with a furnace in winter, and by an adaptation of the works, capable of circulating cold air from the exterior to the whole of the by weights, on the same prin ciple of the barracks in summer. The motive power for as an eight-day c ()mid up will cause the w i t h great velocity for eight hours before it working the screw is a i t o te a d n screw to revolve will cease working on the weights reaching the bottom of the building. In front of the fi rs t an d s,cond floors a large fur mg been , as open space, the entire extent of the bull' h b con structed and arched over the men to take exercise in wet weather, and every care has been taken for their comfort. On the north sale of the barracks for the men substantial and commodious dwelling-houses have been built for the Col , nel in command, and the Colonel second in command, and for officers' qUarters. In a line with the barracks for the men the staff non-commissioned officers' quarters have been con structed, and a spacious room for a library arid a piece of ground set apart for a racquet-court. On the south side is the mess-room and ante-rooms, with dwelling-houses for officers' quarters. The ground in front of the barracks for the men is in progress of being l eve ll ed, as it will be required for drill before the contractor can finish the outbuildings and boundary walls. In the rear of the barracks a building is pp-of the b )ws and part l e i m tw 4 o us p e o i r i tl s iol a es n in ag th az e i ne or for exercising the men with large guns BC,Rinondtrsielttelri:siociodtmoeelds: andeoka r cai t ias h si the frameworkid e to instruct them in the duties they will have to perform at sea.

" The war entered into in the north of India appears to be one of the most serious yet undertaken by the British Go vermaent. " The news came down to the 2d of February. Another great battle was fought on the British territory on the 21st of January, but the result was not yet known to the public t,n the departure of the-steamer from Bombay, which had, nevertheless, been delayed for 48 hours, and which could only set sail with the dispatches' of the Governor-General. It t the afternoon. had been heard During r i a n t g a the distance, was only known that the action commence d a t h a lf-p as t eight o'clock in the morning, and had been p ro l o ng e d until half ist whole cane of , as t p i a l a st t threetbne abrisk cannonade o'clock i far as Loodianah and Ferozepore. We have already pub lieted an ext-act from a Bombay newspaper, according to which 10,000 Seikhs had made so violent an attack on the corps commanded by Sir H. Smith, that the native troops had been routed, and two English regi.nents obliged to beat a retreat ; but explanations relative to this fact are still wanting, the exactness of which is, more over, formally disputed by the English papers. The com munications between those two cities, and especially between Ferozepore and Delhi, are most frequently intercepted, and letters reach their destination but irregularly. We are, how ever, perfectly well informed of what to.ds place during the whole of the interval which precedes the most interesting moment—that is to say, up to the day of the second battle, exclusively. The following is a summary of the facts:— " The days of the 21st and 22d of December having left the English artillery nearly hors de combat (for want of horses and ammunition), Sir H. Hardinge and Sir H. Gough deemed it prudent not to renew the engagement by pursuing the enemy, although they had only retired to a distance of about two leagues from their first encampment. The two armies; therefore, remained en presence for eight days, on the left bank of the Sutlej, and it was only on the 29th of De cember that the Seikhs recrossed the river of their own accord, quite leisurely,and without the least molestation. In fine, the motive of their retreat was not, as at first supposed, the dis couragement with which they had begun to be seized on be holding the reinforcements which arrived daily at the camp of the Governor-General ; it was, on the contrary, because the operation which they had hitherto masked was termi nated, and _their position ameliorated. Tee English army concentrated at Ferozepore, and increased by the division of Meerut. became unassailable. It was even daugeroue to await it, whatever might otherwise have been the advan tages of the ground, with the Sutlej in their rear. It was therefore necessary, on the one hand, to ferce it to divide itself, by multiplying the points of attack ; and, on the other, to establish a strong body of cavalry on the bank of the river, in order to avoid being driven into it. With a skill which was far from being imputed to them, the chiefs of the Seikh army succeeded in attaining both these objects. Whilst their principal body held in check the English divisions en camped on the field of Ferozeshah, a detached corps 430,000 men, with 35 pieces of artillery, made so alarming a diver sion in the direction of Loodianah, that Sir H. Hardinge was obliged to dispatch orders to the 12,000 men who came from Meerut, with the greater part of his cavalry and artillery, to advance to that side by forced marches. 'At the same time, a third division of the Seikh army constricted in front of their ' bridge of boats at Hurreekee (a bridge substantially con structed) a formidable battery, mounted with 50 pieces of heavy artillery, and capable of holding a garrison of 20,000 men. It seems that there was no knowledge of all these pre parations till towards the 15th of January, when the English engineers,-sent to reconnoitre the position, reported that this tete de pont was of a nature calculated to require a regular siege; and that the bridge itselt was defended on the right bank of the river by f irmidable batteries which commanded it throughout its whole length and breadth. " Meanwhile the Seikh division, directedMpon Phulloor, the point of the right bank of the . Sutlej, immediately in front of Loodianah, had put itself insro,tinnunication with the Seikhs protected by the left bank. ',;i7i.-peiverfill tributary, the Raja of Lodwe, raised the standard 15f . resolt against the English, and joined the enemy with the. whole of his contingent,' which may be estimated atslo,ooo men, as much infantry as irregular cavalry. Himself leading his troops, he presented himself on the 4th of January before Loodianah, all the inha bitants of which place had fled, and of which the garrison, composed of two native battalions, had retired into a fortress a cannon-shot from the city, with the women and sick of the 50th European Regiment, and, moreover, with the wives of officers of the different staffs of the Commander-in-Chief and the Governor-General. For several days the most lively anxiety was felt at Delhi respecting the fate of all these per sons, who, as at the period of the Affghailistan disasters, might fall into the hands of the enemy, and become very em barrassing hostages. Fortunately, the citadel possessed 13 pieces of heavy artillery, and the Siekhs had no idea of be sieging it. They contented themselves with burning a por tion of the city, with all the European cantonment, the bar racks, the hospitals, the Protestant church, and the Popish chapel ; they then retired to a distance of half a league, into a jungle (very thickly covered with rushes and bamboos), where they commenced active preparations for fortifying themselves against General Grey, who was advancing. " The official details go no further. It is, nevertheless, well known that the army of Ferozepore, having received the provisions which it expected, b -gun to move on the 18th of January by re-ascending the Sutlej, with the view of re pulsing the Seikhs into their own territory. After some skirmishes of little importance, during the days of the 19th and 20th, its van-guard, under the command of Sir H. Smith, arrived, it is said, on the 21st et' January before the tke de pont, of which we have already spoken. It was re joined an hour afterwards by General Grey's division from Loodianah. The battle is said to have been one ef the most sanguinary on record, and to have had no other result than the expulsion of the enemy from one batik of the Sutlej to the other. The various corps which have received orders to reinforce the army Sir Henry Hardinge will increase its numerical force to 40,000 men, of whom 10,000 are Europeans, with 140 pieces of artillery. Such, however, is the impression produced on the mind or the Governor-General by the resist ance that. he encountered on the battle-field of Ferozeshab, thst, even with these means of offence, he appears resolved not to advance against Lahore till he has brought up in line, either to'operate with him, or to protect the rear, the division of Sir C. Napier in Slade, 15,000 strong, including 4,000 Europeans. Now, the latter not having been able to commence his march from Hyderabad to the Indus until to wards the 15th or 16th of January, and having to travel over a space of 250 miles (more than 100 leagues), could not ar rive at the point of rendezvous in less than 20 days—that is, before the sth or 6th of February. At that period the heats in the Punjab become so insupportable, that it is to be pre sumed that the Governor-General will content himselt for this campaign with the capture of Lahore, and will postpone the remainder of the operations of the conquest till the sea soli of 1847. It is calculated that the expenses of this war will amount to at least 10,000,0001., and that the occupation of the new territory will require an increase of 30,000 men to the Company's army. We already see an ordinance adding three regiments of native infantry of recent formation to the army of Bombay, and five regiments of irregular cavalry to that of Bengal. " The destruction of Loodianah is a very considerable ma terial loss to the English. This ancient Massulman city, raised by the first conquerors of the house of Lodi, is the most frequented place of passage between India and the Pun jaub : a considerable trade is carried on there, and its popu lation amounts to about 20,000 souls. Thus, although it belongs to the Raja of Djhind, one of the most powerful of the protected Seikh Princes, the Company ha' established a political agent there, who partly exercises the powers of a collector and a magistrate. There was also a garrison sta tioned there, composed in latter times of an European bat talion, with a battery of light artillery, and two regiments of native infantry. " What gives this city great importance in the eyes of the English is, the fact that it has become the seat of a new trade, which has been immensely extended during the last 30 years—the manufacture of the celebrated Cashmere shawls. It was introduced therein by a colony of Cashme rians, which the Company originally introduced at its own expense, but which afterwards, being sufficiently encouraged, recruited itself annually at Cashmere. Loodianah, at the moment of its destruction, included about 800 shawl manufactories, that is to say, more than 2,000 workmen, who are now , dispersed. It had been chosen as the seat of this trade, at first, because it formed the frontiers of the Punjaub ; and, secondly, on account of its proximity to the wool-market of Rampour, in Bissahir, whither the Kanaoris and the Thibetians annually bring a large quantity of " paschen," that is, the kind of wool necessary for the manufacture of the Cashmere shawls. This wool is, un fortunately of a very ordinary quality; the Loodianah cashmeres are very common, and have never found pur chasers in Europe. As a set-off, however, to this disadvan tage, they had the monopoly of the Indian markets. The manufactures of Cashmere could not contend with those of Loodianah, the price . of labour being equal in both those manufactures, and the produce of Loodianah not being saddled with the taxes levied on those of Cashmere. The East India Company was exclusively interested in this enter prise, and was the sole proprietor of all the factories. It . - thence &rived enormous profits, which will now of course cease. This is a fresh grievance, which will furnish it with another motive for indemnifying itself by conquest." CAUTION AS TO POTATO STORlNG.—Professes Henslow communicates two curious instances of spontaneou ignition having nearly taken place in consequence of fibrous mate rials being used to store potatoes. In one case a labourer at Ilitchin, observing that some potatoes intended for seed were sprouting, stored two bushels is perfectly dry bean-dust, the refuse after thrashing and removing the stalks ; but the moisture from the potatoes so saturated the bean-dust, that It heated and became charred ; some of the potatoes were half roasted, and had it remained unnoticed a few days longer the cottage would probably have been burnt down. In the other case, Mr. Joseph Rand, of ilatielleigh, in October last, laid up a quantity of potatoes in a small chamber 4.f his malt-house, care fully packed in layers with dry "malt dust," which falls through the kiln tiles. About a fortnight two the Excise officers, in making their inspection, lighted upon this heap, and happening to stir it up, found the interior in a state approaching to ignition, the potatoas par boiled, or half baked, and the malt-dust perfectly charred. Imme diate steps were taken to remove the heap ; the potatoes being chiefly rotten, were thrown awaj, and the malt-dust was laid on another of the same material, to he carried upon the land ; but in a short time it heated again so powernaly, that no time was lost in removing it from the premises, the walls and floor of which had been visibly affected by the heat. HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT Inn- TurioN.—The seventh annual general meeting of the members and friends of the above Institution was held yesterday at the London Coffee. house, Thomas Clark, Esq , late of the White Hart, Windsor, presiding. From the report it appeared thA the receipts of the:past year, including the previous balance, amounted to 377/. ss. 3d., from which a balance of 6s. 7d. remained. There had, however, up to the present time been fuaded 4381.55. 2d., making the total capital stock 4,156/. 2s. 4d. During the year 1301. had been received through the chairman and his friends. The of for the ensuing year (chiefly those of the past) having been elected, thanks were awarde.l to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, to John Mastertnan, Esq., M.P., &c., foi their valuable aid, and also to Messrs. Lovegrove, for the gratuitous use of their rooms, to Mr. Tapster, the honor: ry secretary, and to the chairmen of the day, and the meeting broke up. MARGATE, MONDAY.—This day, about One o'clock, during a strong gale from the west, the brig Richard, from Liverpool to London, of 267 tons, went ashore on the Tongue Sand. Too much praise cannot be given to the crews of the hovelling boats belonging to this port ; the Mary, in most gallant style, dashing through a terrific sea, and returning to the shore with the captain and all the crew. The brig is now under water, a total wreck. Should the weather moderate, the cargo may be saved. The brig is loaded with wine, oil, acids, and materials for an atmospheric railway, consigned to Mr. Lucas, Griffin-whart; London. Two skeletons were lately found at Cross, near Axbridge, on the premises of Mr. Wade, surgeon, of that place, ' about three feet bel , av the surface of the ground, by workmen who were digging the foundation for a wall. The orchard in which they were found belonged many years to the White Hart Inn. One of the skeletons was considered to be that of a female, about middle aee ; the other that of a male a•ivanced in years. It is the opinion of the neighbourhood, that these remains are evidences of the crime of murder having been perpetrated.—Keene's Bath Journal. Bills were posted throughout Douglas, Isle of Man, on Friday, offering a bounty of 41. fbr young men, from the age of 18 to 25 years, as raCrulta for varleus regiment': MARCH 17, 1846. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERsALvS--YEsTERDAy. The Chester Cup betting was confined to three or four horses, and was limited in amount and importance.' Clumsy and Miss Burns were prominently in demand at an improve ment on last week's prices, and not until near the endao the prejudice of Best Bower, who had previously been quoted at 22 to 1, with several friends. Whinstone, once a " first class " favourite, receded to 40 to 1, and even_ at that figure was feebly supported. Beyond the advance to Poynter of 40 to 1 there was nothing in the Derby-betting to call for a remark ; and the businPss transacted on the Oaks was con fined to Kent's lot, and Princess Alice at the price mentioned underneath.

(FROM A CIIRRKSPONDENT.) A few words on the past. CoVentry, and forthcoming Warwick meetings, will not, I imagine, be_ unacceptable at the present moment. These meetings do not derive their importance, in the eyes of the racing men, from the value of the stakes which are run for at them, which are compara tively of trivial amount, but are estimated and visited be cause they afford an insight into the training stables, and " lines ( as they are technically termed) of Derby ark'. Oaks can didates" are got from the performances of older animals in the same stable. Moreover several very superior race-horses have made their &bed at Coventry, such as Corona tion, Chitchat, Fitzroy, &c., and alterations of no mean importance in the Derby market have been caused by the return lists from these places. The late rneetmg at Coventry was far superior to any of its predecessors. Five races, a fine day, and a numerous com pany, satisfied everybody. The weather, indeed, reminded every one of the Houghton meeting at Newmarket, in 1845. The Craven Trial Stakes, always a race of interest, was won with great ease by Buttress, fromPantasa and four ,t hers Pan tasa, asmight be imagined, was the favourite, and had penty of friends, who were not a little mortified at his defeat. He, I imagine, is not unlike General Pollock, a game animal, ,but wanting that great desideratum in a race-hone—speed. The pace at which Buttress came away, completely took the cream out of him. It is singular his late master, Mr. Mos tyn, should have so many game animals in his stud. and yet so few speedy ones. His next cross may, perhaps, prove more succissful. In one way, Pantasa and Wee Pet are not unlike; that is, in any great race for which they are backed they generally run second. In the City Handicap, Lord Warwick's Roebuck, a son of gallant Vesuvius, made a sad example of the field opposed to him ; among others, the celebrated Marian Ramsay. The other Handicaps which followed afforded a most splendid race, and that splendid animal, Godfrey, only secured the stake for the Meiklam by the manual exertion of Tem pleman, for could the boy but have persevered with Billy Purvis, he must have won. As Godfrey gave him only 431 b., it cannot be reckoned a very bad performance. Buttress was again in an excellent place, and must not be lost sight of at Epsom. At Warwick, to-morrow, the chief source of attraction will be the Tial Stakes and the Handicap. To the former there are nine entries, and from my acquaintance with them I should select Boulogne as the winner, with Pantasa in his accustomed place. 'lo the Warwick Handicap ten horses were set d o wn, and, as only two have declared, it reflects credit on the handicapper. I will dispose of their preten sions in a few lines. Godfrey, Bst 71b, at er his race on Wednesday, I do net like, his weight being more than he can conveniently carry. Mosque, if well, should run for ward. Subduer, I cannot farcy, will vindica , e his name. Kilgram is a very moderate animal, with for too much weight on him. Roebuck, with his slb extra, should be tint. Jack Sliepoard's character is as ban as his namesake. Isabella and Outcast's chance is, in env opinion, a very meagre on/., but, of the two, would choose the latter. In conclusion, I expect to see Roebu k first and Mosque second. In the great match for 1,0 A) cove., bet seen Mr. Clifton', Nuttingli.int, Bet 71b, and Mr. O'Brien's Needful, 6•t 21b, if it should be run, I would incline to Nottingham. TELEGRAPH. London, March 17, 1846. HAMBURt-i H MAIL. CRACOW, MARCH 7.—The Prussian post arrived again this evening. Many families are in the greatest distress ; almost every one has to deplore the loss of one or more of its members; many are wholly ignorant of the fate of their relations. Thus the celebrated family of Count Patelski in Paremba, do not know whether the head of the family has fled or perished. There are two battalions of Prussian in tantry, and two squadrons of Hulans, in Cracow, which en tered the city yesterday. The Russians, with some pieces of cannon, have occupied the guard-house. General Collin and the Ru3 , ian General Pamintin, have issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, promising protection to the peaceable citizens, and threatening punishment to those who shall be guilty of any excesses ; and those who do not deliver up their arms iu a certain time. General Count Brandenburg is here, the remainder of the staff is at Lipswile. POSEN, MARCH B.—Yesterday afternoon a quantity of arms were seized in a mill, and about . twenty young men ar rested at the same time. After the attempt made on he night of the 3d March, it is said that several of the insurgents, endeavouring to cross over the Wartha and its affluent the Cibinue, were drowned, the river being very muck swollen. Prisoners are brought in every hour. Many Polish ladies are in mourning. Ihe inglorious end of the revolt in Cracow will doubtles dis courage the rebels here. POSEN, MARCH 9. Notwithstanding all the alarming reports of projected attack by night, the tranquility of our city has not been interrupted ; but though Posen has not been declared in a state of siege, we live as in a time of war : the streets are thronged with military, the gates are closed at night, and numerous patrols do not allow more than two persons to be together. HAtiovaa, MARCH 8. The negotiation s with severa l banking-houses to obtain funds for the construction of an iron railway having failed, it is said that the King has re solved to draw the large sums belonging to the Crown, in vested in the English funds for that purpose, to advance them by way of loan to the public treasury.

RAPID APPROACHES OF FAMINE. -IMPORTANT MEETING IN FERMOY. and inha- A meeting of the landed proprietors, gentry, bitants generally of Fermoy and the surrounding districts, was held on Wednesday last in the Court-house, Fermoy, for the purpose of adopting some measure in co-operation with the Government for the relief if the labouring population. At one o'clock the chair was taken by Edmond 'Burke Roche, Esq , M.P. Letters from several noblemen connected with the county by property and residence were read. Mr. IWKAY, Ballyroberts, said he had no hesitation in saying . that is the parish of Castlelyons they would not have a potato by the Ist of May. He had seen some of the people in that district making use of food that was unfit for Chris: tians. The SECRETARY said that Mr. Quinlan, Guardian for the district of Mitchelstown, containing about 10,000 inhabitants, had sent in a report, and it appeared from it the farmers in that part of the country did not possess as much potatoes as would be sufficient for their families for the next six weeks— some would not have enough for the next fortnight, and they were seeding their oats to a neighbouring mill to supply their immediate w,ints. The report added, that unless timely relief were given to the labouring classes the consequences must be lamentablo. There were nut less than 1,000 people in distress at Mitehel , town. Mr. Thornhill had a list of the labourers in the loon of lid.lorrtry, showing the quantity of potatoes tiny had at pre.ent-360 persons had not 70 bar rels of p,otstoes ; 38 families in the villege had not a single potato; sad all there were persons who had gardens. at d had the pro; ect (f having a., mu,:h fu as would ~ u pport them selves and their families. He should state that there w&-re ten persons winnited into the workhouse that day from the electoral division ofGlanworth in fever. Tli P, , TATO.—Hourly are our prospects becoming more alarming; the panic has now Penetrated to piste; which were hitherto considered safe; it was thought that. this part of Tipperary was in a much better condition than most other counties. 'nut the blight has made frightful ravages, and the fears of the people are roused to the highest pitch. The prices of potatoes at present are so enormously nigh that the peor are unable to Turchase them. In God's name let some thing be done, to avert starvation.— Tipperary Vihrlicator. AWFUL ACDIDENT.—We regret to learn that a very awful accident occurred on Wednee,day, at New Inn, in this county, under the following circumstances, by which the lives of three men were sacrificed :—lt appears that one of these men proceeded to light a lime kiln, but, not being a regular lime burner, he did not perfectly understand how to proceed to work with effect. He filled the kiln to about five feet with stones and placed fires under them, but be could not satin facterily produce the necessary heat, and in•ofeler to stir up the fire he got a ladder and descended into the kiln—a great volume of smoke arose, and instantaneous suffocation was the result. A second and third man followed in like mariner, and with the same disastrous consequences. The bodies were got out by breaking down the front wall of the kiln. An inquest was held on the bodies, when a ver dict according to the circumstances was returned.—Tipperary Find:calor. Awm. CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Tuesday night last, a man named Daniel Berachee, who resides in a mountain dis trict near Newport, called the Copper Mines, retired to bed at an early hour, which was his usual custom, and was fol lowed by his wife, and a young man named Walsh, a servant of his, who lay with bun on each site. In the tn ,, rning an alarm was given by the wife, who says she saw four men quitting the 'house as she awoke, and toured her husband's skull fractured, and the mark of a wound over one of his eyes. The outrage upon this man H at present involved in much mystery. He was rather advanced in years, and his wife is young and well looking. The window of the room was fastened inside by a boy, a son of Berachee, with a hatchet, and on examination the next morniug the hatchet was found in the house, with blood and hair upon it. The unfortunate man still lives, but there is no hope entertained of his recovery.—Nenagh Guardian.—l Berachee's wife and servant boy have been arrested under very suspicious cir cumstances, as they, though in the house, deny having seen or heard the occurrence. It is feared there is not the slightest chance of his recovery.] THE ARMY.

" Sir—l am directed to acquaint you that in every case in which you may ascertain that the attestation of a soldier was irregular, you are hereby authorised to assure - the soldier that upon his consenting to be nov. regularly enlisted and attested, but without bounty, he will be permitted to reckon all his former service in precisely the same manner as if the original attestation had been in all respects regular.
