DUTCH, GERMAN, and BRUSSELS flourishes there are always guarantees of tranquillity, order, and the security of our institutions. Senor Don Fei nand() Abarzuza (who, of all that were present, with the exception of Senor Urtetegui, contributed most to the establishment of the associa tion) next addressed the meeting, amidst general marks of approbation. After expatiating on the advantages of free trade to society, he said—Eternal gratitude to Mr. Cobden, who has carried this glorious principle into practice, presenting those admirable doctrines with in domitable perseverance, until they triumphed in Great 3ritain ! That tribute of gratitude which mankind oyves him, we now rejoice in having this opportunity of paying, assembled as we are for the purpose of founding an association for the diffusion of his salutary principles. Senor Abarzuza concluded an eloquent address, by calling on the meeting not to suffer any more time to be lost, but to constitute immediately the society that they so much desired. Senor Zulueta, and some other gentlemen having ad dressed the meeting to the same effect, the proposition for forming a junta, or committee, to direct the efforts of the association was received with enthusiasm ; the junta to be composed of a president, vice-president, eight members, and a secretary. The following were then unanimously elected to those offices :—President, Senor Don Jorge Urtetegui ; Vice-President, Senor Marques del Pedroso. Members, Senors Don Juan de Dios La sante, Don Rafael Lobo, Don Pedro Pascual Vela, Don Francisco Paul, Don Jo:é Lopez Bonal, Don Jose Nico las de Oviedo, Don Francisco A. Conte, Don Antonio Gargollo. Secretary, Senor Don Antonio de Zulueta. The Come: do concludes its article by a quotation from the speech delivered by Mr. Cobden at the last League meeting in Covent-garden Theatre, in which he described the apparently insignificant origin of the Anti-Corn-law League ; and expressed a hope, that however small the association now founded in Spain, it might ultimately achieve similar success. PAPERS. CRACOW, DEC. 2.—lt is stated that the Police De partment, where they expected to arrest John Schubert. at the barrier of Zwierzynice, were in the hopes of disco vering thereby an important secret. His disappearance has, however, frustrated their expectation. Report points out the said John Schubert as one of the ringleaders of the new conspiracy, which is said to be brooding against the Austrian Government. It might have been inferred that in the present state of affairs, every thought of a conspiracy would have been given up as utterly futile. The report, however, is so often repeated, and frequently with such certainty, that apparently there must be some foundation for it. VIENNA, DEC. 3.—Two days after, we received the intelligence that the well-known Polish insurgent Chief, Dembinski, who appeared after the defeat of the Gali cian Nobles at Lisa Goroe, and had not been heard of since, has been arrested in Cilli. He had been kept in concealment on the estates of an Hungarian nobleman, but had latterly obtained a passport for himself and a female, and, under a false name, had succeded in getting as far as Cilli, where he was arrested. BERLIN, DEC. 5 —The King of Hanover is said to be on the point of expending a pretty considerable sum (re port says five to six million dollars) in the purchase of landed estates within the Prussian dominions, and that several negotiations have already been commenced with large estate owners. It is, however, added, that there is danger that the entire plan may f a ll to the ground, as e difference has hitherto subsi s t e d i n regar d t o the forma lities which the King of Hanove r , as soon as he shall ob tame estates in Prussia, will be obli ge d t o observe towards our King, as landowner, and which have been observed by other sovereigns who have possessions in Prussia; for instance, the King of the Netherlands, the Duke of Bruns wick, the Duke of Dessau, &c., &c. VIENNA, DEC. 6.—The day before yesterday, the im perial Russian Lieutenant, General Von Bibikoff, ar rived from St. Petersburgh, wil.h a numerous retinue.

Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Helen has recovered from her indisposition. Our mails from Constantinople have for some time arrived very irregularly ; the mail of the 25th November arrived hore two days after date. BRESLAU, DEC. 6.—Letters from the Polish frontier state that the time in which the kingdom of Poland is to cease, is approaching, and that it is no secret that Prince Paskewitsch has orders, on the slightest revolutionary movement, to fire on Warsaw from the citadel, and utterly destroy it. KONIASBURG, DEC. I.—With respect to the marriage contracted by Dr. Falkson with his wife in England, the Procurator-General has instituted proceedings for de claring this marriage between a Jew and a Christian lady to he null and void. The tribunal has resolved to require the opinions of the Consistory and of the Rabbis, how far a Jew could comply with the Christian laws of MEETING OF LANDED PROPRIETORS. There was a meeting of landed proprietors yesterday in Dublin. Amongst those present were the Right Hon. F. Shaw, M.P., Messrs. G. A. Hamilton, M.P. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, Ed ward Grogan, M.P., Monsell, Napier, J. R.Godley, Chas. Wm. Hamilton, Bolton Massey, &c. It was resolved—" That with a view to meeting the difficulties of the present alarming crisis, a committee be formed to collect suggestions to be laid before the Irish Members of both Houses of Parliament, as to the mea sures which ought to be brought forward." TRALEE, DEC. 12.--A company of the 77th, under the command of Major Clarke, proceeded yesterday morning to Cahirciveen, together with a large police force, to pro tect the Government stores, threatened by some of the hungry population of that locality.—Tralee Chronicle. IRELAND. SUSPENSION OF PUBLIC WORKS. DUBLIN, DEC. 15.—1 n consequence of a very heavy fall of snow in some of the western counties, it has beeir found necessary to suspend public works, and vast num bers of the destitute peasantry are left totally without the means of providing themselves with food. An order is likely to be issued— indeed that it has lready been decided upon—directing the inspecting officers to call over the list of working people each morning during the suspension of the works, and to pay them for each day equally as if the works had been in progress. PRODUCTIVE LABOUR —CULTIVATION OF TE LAND. The Board of Works have issued the following im portant and well-timed circular, with a view to the carrying out of works undertaken in accordance with the circular of the Chief Secretary : " CIRCULAR., NO. 38. " Board of Public Works, Dec. 9, 1846. " The employment of the destitute on roads and other public works must soon terminate, and reproductive works be substituted for them. To render such works really beneficial and morally useful, the landed proprie tors must join hand in hand with the Board of Works. Every proprietor or farmer will be interested in the practical success of some local work, and as the number will be great, the success will be in proportion to the zealous co operation which the Board may receive. " Works connected with thorough draining and sub• soiling with the spade must be executed systematically and calmly—no external force, no hurry can be admitted. The number of labourers required for each particular work can be accurately known, and each individual labourer should have a task allotted to him, say, suffi cient for a fortnight or three weeks. " To entitle each labourer to till his own farm, or that of a neighbouring farmer, and at the same time earn the support of his family through employment on drain age works, it is proposed that the task to be allotted to each labourer should consist of a certain length of drain, and the collection and breaking of stones for the drain ; where the stones are to be gathered from the same or neighbouring fields, the children of the labourer may be employed by him in collecting them into heaps, and, if sufficiently near, depositing them on the tide of the drain cut by the father. " If, with the assistance of his children, the task, sufficient for a fortnight, be completed in six or eight days, the labourer will receive his money, and be at liberty to devote the remainder of the fortnight to farm labour, and still will have earned sufficient to support his family until the time arrives for commencing a second task, and so on. " To render the drainage works substantially bene ficial to the landed proprietors, it is necessary that the most approved system of thorough draining should be adopted.,To effect this object, the Commissioners of Public Works mean to appoint district inspectors of drainage, whose duty will be, in the first instance, to examine the site of every work presented for ; to determine the ex tent of land to be drained, and mark its boundaries on the Ordnance plans ; to lay out the works connected with the main or open drains ; to determine the depth and all the detail belonging to the covered drain ; to estimate the cost of the drainage per acre ; to value the land in its present state, and give his opinions as to the increased value which will result from the drainage ; and report on the whole to the Commissioners. "During the time occupied by the inspector of drain age in the performance of his duty, the landed proprie tor, the agent, or steward, should attend for the purpose of receiving instructions as to the particular works to be executed in each case, and should recommend suitable persons, who may be employed as local overseers to carry them out " The stewards or farmers, as the case may be, to act without salary; but the local overseers recommended by them, when approved of by the inspector of drainage, will be paid according to their qualifications and ex ertions. THE LATE., COLONEL DAVIES. (From the Worcester Chronicle.) Our obituary of this week records the decease of Col. Davies, for a long period the esteemed and independent representative of this city in Parliament.. The gallant Colonel was descended of an ancient family which had been long seated in Montgomeryshire. His grandfather was rector :of Fownhope, in the adjacent county of Hereford, and he was the eldest son of the l ate Thomas Davies, Esq., Advocate-General to the East India Com pany, and a great friend of the Governor-General Warren Hastings, by Anna, daughter of Hugh Baillie, Esq., of Monckton, Ayrshire; He married on the 17th January, 1824, Augusta Ann, the only child of Thomas Crespigny, Esq., who survives him. Some twelve years ago Colonel Davies had the misfortune to be thrown out of a carriage, whilst canvassing, and was slightly para lysed thereby. This gradually increased, so that for some years he has been perfectly helpless. On Tuesday he grew worse and was taken•with slight sickness, which continued at intervals. On Wednesday and Thursday he was attacked with hiccup, and it became evident that he was gradually sinking. On Friday morning, about three o'clock, he expired without a struggle, in the pre sence of his attached friend and medical attendant, Mr. Francis Davies, of Pershore. Colonel Davies was in his 58th year, and has left no issue. He first appeared before the electors of Worcester, as a candidate for Par- liamentary honours, in 1816, on the death of Mr. W. A. Robarts, which occasioned a vacancy in the representa- tion of Worcester. He professed himself the advocate of retrenchment and Parliamentary reform, but Lord marriage. BERLIN, DEC. 3.—The Crown Prince of Sweden is gone to Hamburg, having first obtained from Prince Charles and Princess Louisa the final promise of grant ing him the hand of the Princess. His Royal Highness went to the King from Weimar a week ago, and immediately received his Majesty's ap probation of his intended marriage. The bride, however, is so fur from having recovered from her illness at Genoa, that the King has lately sent his own physician, Privy Councillor Grisma, to that city to take part in the consultations of the physicians in attendance on her Royal Highness. The affairs of Cracow seems to very much occupy the attention of our Minister for Foreign Affairs, and while we can only confirm our former statement that Russia very reluctantly agreed to the incorporation of the Republic, it appears now that our Cabinet is ready to approximate on certain terms to the Western Powers. The protest of Lord Palmerston has already been received here, and is expressed in unlooked for mild terms with respect to the Prussian Cabinet, whereas the reply to the Russian Government is said to be very severe. We have now a contradiction of the report which was purposely spread, that the Western Governments, or at least one of them, had been secretly informed before hand of the intended incorporations. BERLIN, DEC. 2.—Though earnest representations and wishes for a favourable decision, respecting our commercial interests at Cracow, hal been sent from here to Vienna, doubts are entertained of their being complied with, because it is foreseen that they will be opposed by the Russian Government. The free trade of Cracow has hitherto been offensive to that Govern ment, and Russia considered Cracow not only as the focus of revolutionary ideas, but also as a great depot for a contraband trade in Poland. The commercial se clusion of that kingdom, whose complete incorporation with the empire is near at hand, as the first consequence of the new convention at Vienna, is one of the results of the system which has latterly obtained so great a vic tory, of which we will hope, that it may not be found diametrically opposed to the German interests. HANOVER, DEC. 9.—Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess, and the Hereditary Prince, arrived here to-day from della by an express train, and alighted at the Royal Ernest Palace, which is assigned to their Royal Highnesses for their future residence. BERLIN, DEC. 9.—The bankruptcy of the house of Schiller and Muller, which was made known yesterday, has excited a great sensation on 'Change. Their debts amount to 800,000 dollars, of which, as far as is just ' known, 80,000 dollars fall upon a house in this city. The alarm is increased by the apprehension that the blow will not be the only one, since it was supposed, on one hand, that it has some connexion with the affair at Cracow; and, on the other, it was found extraordinary that the bankrupt house was unable to obtain timely assistance from the other influential houses of Breslau. German papers. BRUSSELS, DEC. 13.—Their Majesties the King and Queen will leave Brussels, as we hear, on Tuesday next, for Paris. Their absence will not be prolonged above a week. It is said that after the promulgation of the law on the promotion of the Princes of the Royal Family in the army, the Duke of Brabant will enter the Regiment d'Elite, and the Count of Flanders the Regiment des Guides, both with the rank of sub-lieutenant. — Brus sels Papers, Dec. 14. THE HAGUE, DEC. 9.—A1l the boats, e xcept one, have now returned, God b e p ra i se d, i n safety, from the English coast, to Scheveningen. The number of herrings that they have brought is nearly four and a half mil lions' which is more, by half a m illi o n, than last year. The fishery has been very successful, only two of the owners are said to have barely covered their expenses, the rest have all ample reason to be satisfied. The prices have lately risen. ArasTEnua.m, DEC. 9.—This morning there was a general meeting of the shareholders of the Dutch Com mercial Company, in which it was resolved, with the ap probation of his Majesty the King, to prolong the grant to the Company, of the 31st of December, 1849, for a second period of 25 yeats, that is, till the 31st of De cember, 1874. We shall revert in the sequel to the re solutions taken by the Assembly, and communicate it at length. THE HAGUE, DEC. B.—His Excellency the Minister of the Interior, has given notice to those persons inter ested, that conformably with the public advertisement, the public lottery, for drawing ten shares in the loan of 950,000 florins, for the construction of a causeway from Maestricllt to the frontiers of Guldersland, took place ou the 7th of this month. The ten series drawn, were Nos. 6, 152, 165, 196, 198, 203, 418, 636, 735, and 804. Deerhurst, who had bean an unsuccessful candidate at the general election in 1812, was in the field before him, and - had made his election secure. In consequence, after a canvass which made it apparent that it would be fruitless to oppose his Lordship, Colonel Davies retired, with a promise that he would again present himself at the general election. In 1818 he fulfilled this promise, and three candidates appeared on the hustings, Sir William Duff Gordon, who had; represented the city in the two preceding Parliaments, Lord Deerhurst, and Colonel Davies. The poll was kept open for seven days, and the number of votes recorded for each candidate was as follows: Lord Deerhurst 1,422 Colonel Davies Sir W. D. Gordon 874 At the election consequent on the (loath of King George the third, in 1820, Lord Deerhurst and Colonel Davies were elected without opposition. At the general election, in 1826, Lord Deerhurst retired after a can vass, on the pretext that his appointment to the Vice- Lieutenancy of the country would devolve upon him a mass of public and private business incompatible with the discharge of his duties as a representative. The can didates were Colonel Davies and Mr. G. R. Robinson, to whom was very unexpectedly added, on the morning of the election, a third, in the person of the late Mr. Richard Griffiths, of Thorngrove. The poll, as in 1818, was kept open for seven days, and the numbers at its close stood as follows: Mr. Robinson Colonel Davies 1,268 Mr. Griffiths 1,036 The two first were d elared duly elected. On the sudden dissolution of Parliament, in 1831, arising out of the question of Reform, Colonel Davies and Mr. Robinson were returned without opposition. The Hon. Captain Fitzroy, a brother of Lord South ampton, also appeared in the field, but his address, offer ing himself as a candidate, was immediately succeeded by another, in which he announced his intention of with drawing from what he quickly ascertained would be a hopeless contest. At the general election, immediately succeeding the Reform Bill, Colonel Davies and Mr. Robinson were again elected without opposition. Mr. B. A. Dundas, now Christopher, and one of the Members for Lincoln shire, addressed the electors on the Tory interest, but, as his address states, he did not receive a sufficient num ber of promises on his canvass to warrant his proceeding to the poll. In 1835 Mr. Joseph Bailey came forward upon Tory principles, and after a severe contest, suc ceeded in defeating Col. Davies by a majority of 17, the numbers being—. Mr. Robinson Mr. Bailey. Colonel Davies 1,137 On the opening of the session of Parliament, a peti tion of George Munn and others was presented against Mr. Bailey's return, on the ground of bribery and treat ing, the improper reception of votes, and other causes, and praying that the election of Mr. Bailey should be declared void, and that Colonel Davies should be declared duly elected in his place. The committee to which this petition was referred was composed of a large majority of Tories, and of course the result, from the beginning, was foreseen. After a sitting of eleven days, the peti tioners withdrew from a contest which the nature of the decisions pronounced by the committee in regard to certain disputed votes rendered hopeless, and Mr. Bailey's election was confirmed. _ _ _ SPANISH FREE-TRADE ASSOCI At the general election consequent on the death of King William IV., in 1837, Colonel Davies again came forward. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Bailey were also in the field, but Mr. Robinson, though put in nomination in the usual form, annonnced from the hustings his in tention of retiring, and Colonel Davies and Mr. Bailey were returned. At the election in 1841, Col. Davies declined again " The sanction of the Treasury having been received for the drainage works of any district, and the number of labourers to be employed in each determined, on due notice - being given to the Relief Inspecting Officer of the Board of Works, he will name labourers for each from the list of the destitute residing within the electoral division or barony as is usual for the road works; and it is expected that the landed proprietors, farmers, and stewards connected with each work will use every exertion to scrutinise the list of the destitute, to insure that none who have other means of support be employed. The land will be assessed for the expendi ture, and consequently the admission of persons not requiring relief, by adding to the number, will propor tionably increase the assessment ; hence it becomes the interest as well as the duty of all cess-payers to limit the admission of labourers to those who are wholly des titute. _ " By order, JOS. C. WALKER, Secretary." DESTITUTION.—DEATH FROM STARVATION. The Tunm Herald contains the following : " We regret to state that our various communications during the week represent the state of the people of the country as fearful in the extreme. From some of the remote districts of our own county we have received the most horrifying details of the sufferings of the poorer classes ; and, alas ! various particulars of deaths from starvation have reached us. " On the 6th instant, an inquest was held by A. Hosty, Esq., coroner, at Lisheenager, on view of the body of Michael Walsh. " Mary Walsh, having been sworn and examined, said—The deceased was my husband. We had neither potatoes nor corn for the last twelve weeks, nor did de ceased get but six days' work during that time. There was no public works in the neighbourhood, but one road, and he was unable to get employment ; the only sup port ourselves and three children had were a few tur nips, and occasionally a little meal we used to get from a neighbour ; we lived upon one meal a day, and often suffered from hunger for the last three weeks. Deceased took ill on the Ist instant, and died on the Thursday following. All the relief I could procure him during his illness was a dose of castor oil from the Headford worth of ,bread a neighbour gave me. During that time myse l f an my cniictren lived on a few boiled turnips, without meal or any other mixture, and we are all suffering from hunger. " Such, reader, is a specimen of many of the details that have reached us." The following letter appears in the Tralee Chronicle:— " Killarney, Dec. 9, 1846. " Dear Sir,—Having travelled with the c oroner Mr. O'Riordan, rom Kenmare, on Monday last, I learned from him the particulars of an inquest which he that day held at Shountore, three miles to the west of Ken mare ; and with the hope that publishing them may at tract attention in some quarter to that neglected part of the country, I send them to you for insertion in your useful journal. " Tee name of the deceased was Mary Sugrue. She and three female children, aged ten, six, and four years, lived in a wretched hut near the road side • and it ap peared, from the evidense o f Mar y Reilly, that deceased and her three children went to her house on last Satur day week, and told her she and her three children were starving. She gave them some small share of food, and they went away. She did not see her after until Satur day last, when, hearing a child crying near the hut, she went towards it, and found the second child outside the door, unable to stand from weakness. She took the child into the hut; where she found the mother dead, and the young child apparently so. She called in some neighbours, who took the children away. The eldest child was not there ; it is supposed she went to her grandfather, who lives near Sneem. The deceased ap peared to have recently died, There was neither food nor drink of any kind in the hut—no furniture—nothing but a little straw and a miserable blanket. She swore she had no doubt but deceased died from went of food. " Dr. Mayberry made a post mortem examination ; he found the stomach and bowels perfectly empty—no trace of food of any description could be found, and he had no doubt the deceased died from want of sustenance. " There was a verdict accordingly. " The Coroner had another inquest at Benano, near Kenmara, about a fortnight before, on the body of a man, named Robert Hampston, who died on the roadside, of hunger, when a similar verdict was returned. " I have just heard another death has taken place since Monday in the same quarter, from starvation. God only knows how many have fallen, and how many others will fall victims from the same cause. Where is all this mi sery to end 2.-1 am, Sir, your obedie nt servant, " DOWNING." ATION „ (From El Comercio, Cadiz paper, of Nov. 21.) The other day, on the occasion of Mr. Cobden's visit to Cadiz, and of the banquet given in honour of the distinguished chief of the English League, we said that some commercial gentlemen of this city had conceived a mpreaiie leaeue. or association for the rkt purpose of promoting t ie discussion or suen sou%iu uoc trines as should form the basis of a reform in our eco nomical and commercial legislation. At present we have the satisfaction of announcing to our readers that this happy idea has been realized in the most satisfactory manner. The friends of free trade may henceforth calculate upon a centre of union and an efficient support in extending and carrying out their opinions. An association for that, purpose was esta blished in Cadiz yesterday, which is composed of per sons of respectability animated with the best and most ardent wishes to consecrate their energies to the tri umph of those doctrines, and has at its disposal great forces, both moral and material, gradually to destroy the obstacles which so patriotic an enterprise will, from the commencement, have to encounter. At one in the afternoon, a meeting, at which Don Jorge Urtetegui presided, took place. The following noblemen and gentlemen were present: —The Marquis del Pedroso, the C o u nt de Casa Bru net, Don Fernando Abarzuza, Don Juan de Dios Laganta, Dun Julian Lopez, Don Pedro Pascual Vela, Don Juan Escribano, Don Miguel Ruiz Tagle, Don Francisco Augusto Conte, Don Jos4 Lopez Bonal, Don Ignacio Docavo y Casa], Don Rafael Lobo, Don Jose Antonio de Riano, Don An tonio Garr/ o lio, Don Francisco Paul, Don J oaqu i n a nd Don Juan Urtetegui, Don Jose de Abarzuza, Don Jose Nicolas de Ovioclo, Don Juanßrautisto Page, Don San tiago Terry , Don Manuel iv ayzan, Don Antonio de Zulueta, Don Manuel Velez Rubio, D on Francisco San chez del Arco, editor of the Nacionoi, and Don Fernando Garcia de Arboleya, editor of the Contercio. The meeting being, opened , _Don Jorg e U r t e t egu i an nounced in the following which the obje c t o f t h e proceed ings :--The ob j ect for you have been assembled on the present occasion is solely to discuss the best meanie of establishing a Spanish association to propagate ti .e doctrines of free trade. In the 17th and 18th centuries Sp a in was the first to propose those ve r y d octr i nes whick o th er nations have since carried into practice. We then,. it is true, held the highest place in the commercial world ; but the liberation of America, and, still V l ore, ds ha ' our civil and political discor , ve since then brought neglect and ruin upon these sacred interests. Now that peace is established, and the present dynasty secured by the union of our Queen with a Spanish prince, it is time . that we occupy ourselves seriously in extending those principles on which depends the development of thu wealth, happiness. and prosperity of our country ; and iii is also time that our country should know that commercce is the best promoter of civilisation, and that where i offering himself as a candidate, on the score of ill- health, and was succeeded by our late learned representative, the present Chief Baron Wilde. Thus the gallant Colonel represented Worcester for more than twenty years, and in six Parliaments, or, with the exception of the short Parliament of 1835, uninterruptedly from 1818 to 1841. The Hon.

From the declaration of the master, mate, and one of the seamen of the schooner Jane Jones, of Leith, be longing to Robert Innes, Esq., shipbuilder, emitted be fore her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Constantinople, we learn the following particulars regarding an attack on that vessel by Greek pirates, off the island of Tenedos, on the 11th of October last. The Jane Innes sailed from Cardiff on the 9th of September, with a cargo of iron for Galatz. After passing Gibraltar the vessel en-. countered very severe weather, in which she sustained some damage ; on the 10th of October they came to anchor, between Tenedos and the main, and remained there all the following day. At eight p.m. on the 11 th the watch was duly set, that duty being assigned to Wm. Forbes, an apprentice ; the captain went to bed about half past eight, all the crew, with the exception of the watch, having previously turned in ; about ten o'clock be was awakened by a noise on deck, on which he jumped out of bed, and called to the mate. Immediately after, three men, apparently Greeks, ran down the cabin stairs, each armed with a drawn cutlass, a brace of pistcls, and a dagger. One of the pirates seized the captain- by the throat, and holding the cutlass to his breast, made signs for money. The captain en deavoured to make them understand that he had none, on which he was struck twice on the face, and caused to open his chest and turn out' the contents, from which the pirates took a purse with a few sovereigns and a variety of articles of clothing. Not satisfied with this, one of them held a pistol to the captain's head, and de manded more money, but being satisfied that be had no more, they proceeded to ransack the cabin, and Carried off the chronometer, a watch, telescope, knives, forks`, &c., together, with a large quantity of stores. The pirates then tied the captain and mate with their hands behind their backs, each in his own berth, and after having fastened the cabin doors with a rope, they went on deck. While these proceedings were taking place in the cabin, the hatch was nailed down on the crew in the forecastle. They were awakened about the same time as the captnin by a scream from the watch, and one of the men was going on deck to see what was the matter, when he saw two cutlasses over the hatchway; he was imme diately thrust back; and the hatch fastened down. The crew then broke through the bulkhead into the hold, and getting near the cabin, they asked the captain if they should break in there, but were told not to do so as the pirates were all well armed. After remaining on board from an hour to an hour and a half, the pirates departed, and the captain and mate then managed to release each other, and went on deck, when they saw what they con ' ceived to be the boat with libeftrates under sail standing in shore. On going forward they found that the apprentice on watch had been murdered, and on examining the body they found two deep wounds on the breast, and an exten sive one on the back of the head. They then released the crew, and discovered that the decks had been cleared of every portable article, including sails, old canvas and spun yarn, all the studding-sail-haulyards, tacks, spare lines, compass, binnacle cover, all the ropes off deck, a half cask of beef, and another of pork. They had, in fact, helped themselves to almost everything except the standing rigging. Afraid of another visit from the pirates, the Jane lanes was got under weigh, and dropped down within a quarter of a mile of an Ameri can vessel that was lying close in to Tenedos. The vessel arrived at Constantinople without further mis hap, except that they were put into quarantine off the Dardanelles on account of their communication with the pirates. We would suggest to the merchants of Leith, that a memorial, founded on the case of the Jane Innes, be drawn up, and forwarded to Lord Palmerston, calling his attention to the piracies so frequent among the Grecian Islands, and the vast amount of British property annually exposed to the depredations of the lawless in habitants. DETENTION of the EDINBURGH MAIL-GREAT SNOW STORM. In the absence of authentic information, much specu lation exists as to the fate of the two Saturday mails from London, one of which was due at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and the other at eight o'clock on the • vening of the same day, but neither of which up to a late hour last night had arrived. The two previous mails from London were detained several hours beyond their usual time in consequence of a heavy fall of snow on the road between Newcastle and Berwick. On Sunday the snow had increased to such a depth that the mail from Newcastle that day did not arrive in Edinburgh till yesterday morning, having occupied eighteen hours in coming from that town to Ber wick, instead of the usual space of eight hours; notwith standing it had the aid of two additional horses. No certain information has been received to account for the detention of the mails from the south of Newcastle. It is reported, however, that a mail train was blocked up in snow on the line about forty or fifty miles to the north of York, and that it was so thoroughly embedded that the power of several additional engines sent to render assistance had been unable to extricate it. Of course, if this be the state of matters that line will be rendered completely impassable, and all the subsequent mails may be accumulated at nearly the same place. Whatever be the cause, this . is the longest detention of the London mail that has taken place for a great many years. We observe from our Glasgow contemporaries of yesterday, that their communication from the south had not sus- tabled any interruption, so it seems evident that the storm has been confined to the east coast. The Inver ness mails, due on Saturday and Sunday, were both behind their usual time from a similar cause, the latter by seven hours, and the one which was due yesterday morning had not arrived at twelve o'clock last night. We learn that the snow storm prevails generally in several of the north-eastern counties, and that at Montrose and Brechin on Saturday the snow was nearly six feet deep. This severe suow storm appears to have passed over us, for there has been no snow in the Lo thians since the thin costing which fell about ten days ago. A frost of great keenness has prevailed here since Thursday, and continues with unabated severity. The lochs and ponds are all frozen, and curlers and skaters are enjoying their healthy exercise under most favour able circumstances. We may add, that on Saturday night a great number of falling stars were observed, and that vivid flashes of lightning illuminated the sky for a considerable tame.--Edinburgh Advertiser. STATE - OF TRADE IN PAISLEY AND THE UNEMPLOYED. A meeting of manufacturers was held on Monday week, with the magistrates, regarding the prospects of trade and the probable continuation of the depression. At that conference a great many subjects were talked over, relating to the cause of the depression and its probable issue. It was stated by a manufacturer, that one cause of the depression was, that plain cloth, which is at present brought into town for shawl printing in large quantities from Caine in England, can be got woven there for about the half that is paid in Paisley— the rate being, for a piece of cloth sixty-six inches wide and thirty yards long, with twenty-four to twenty-six shots on the glass, 6s. 6d. per piece in Caine, while for the same piece, 12s. would have to be 'paid to the weaver in Paisley, and with this ad ditional advantage in favcur of the English manufac turer, that his cloth was woven from coops, while the Paisley maker would have to pay 4s. additional for pirn winding, making his total payment for labour 165., against 6s. 6d. by his rival. It was stated by the repre sentatives of two other manufacturing houses on the other hand, that they make their cloth in Paisley entirely, and that they can do so, with a handsome profit on their outlay, and have their goods cheaper than any English maker can produce them. The result of the meeting was the calling of a more extended one of the business classes on Fri• day, to enter into a subscription for affording temporary relief in the mean time. That meeting accordingly took place in the County Hall ; and, after a very feeling statement of the destitute condition of a great many, which was given by the Provost, who presided, and sup ported by Bailie Hutcheson, it was moved, and unani mously agreed, to open a subscription, which was com menced on the spot, and a handsome sum put down. The general impression amongst the gentlemen in trade at the meeting of Monday seemed to be, that the greater part cut of work will be taken up by the end of this month or the beginning of next, and, so far as we can learn, this has been so much confirmed, that a number of webs have been given out during the week to those who were out of employment.— Glasgow Post. the whole of the Peninsular war up to the crowning victory of Waterloo, where he displayed the character istic bravery of a British soldier, without a day's illness. During his lengthened Parliamentary career, Colonel Davies distinguished himself as the unflinching enemy of improvident expenditure. In the cause of retrenchment he was a fellow-labourer with Mr. Hume, whose econo mical motions he so constantly seconded or supported, that he acquired the soubriquet of Smollett, atter the eminent continuator of Hume's History of England. Colonel Davies was the advocate of all well• considered reforms, but opposed to rash and causeless innovation. He was favourable to an extension of the suffrage, to the vote by ballot, and to a shorter duration of Parlia ment, and, as might be expected, strenuously supported the Reform Bill is all its stages. His vote was unitormly given on behalf of every measure calculated to extend the privileges or increase the comforts of the people, while he watched with jealous supervision every item of the public expenditure. The revision of the pension list, the abolition of sinecures, and the reduction of taxa tion, were objects for which be also contended in Parlia ment. By pursuing a steady, persevering, and inde pendent career, he secured the warm attachment of his political friends, and was equally respected by his oppo nents. In his capacity of a country gentleman he led a quiet and secluded life, which indeed the state or his health of late years rendered indispensable, at his beau tifnl seat of Flealey Park. which he purchased of the executors et the late Bourne Charlett, Esq., shortly after forming a parliamentary connexion with the city of Worcester. Colonel Davies retired from the army a few years since, having been up to that time on the half-pay list. His late constituents will receive the intelligence of his disease with sincere regret, for he had won their esteem by long and faithful service in Parliament, and their good will by his courteous demeanour and the at tention which he paid to the humblest of the citizens. An accomplished gentleman and a most humane and kind hearted man, the death of Colonel Davies pro duces a blank that will not readily be filled up. In every relation of life he was exemplary. An admirable officer and upright !and clear-headed magistrate, a kind and benevolent master, an affeetionate friend, and an in dulgent husband, he was respected and bel'uved by all who had the gratification of knowing him, s more vs1:007 cially by his own immediate circle, which he pre-emi nently adorned. The funeral of the late gallant officer will take place on Friday. Sir J. Pakington, Sir T. Winnington, R. Temple, Esq., C. Hanford, E 414., E. Holland, Esq., and E. B. Marriott, Esq., will be the pall bearers on the me lancholy occasion. Colonel Davies leaves two brothers, who reside in Sussex, Warburton Davies, Esq., and Col. Francis Davies, of the Coldstream Guards. Amur warn POACHERS.—A rencontre took place between the gamekeepers and watchers of the Marquis of Anglesey, and Josiah Spode, Esq., of Armitage Hall, near Rugeley, and a determined gang of poachers, from twelve to fifteen in number, in a preserve on the Armi tage Hail estate, on Monday night last. After a despe rate conflict, in which one of the keepers was sevi rely wounded, and a poacher shot through the thigh, five of the offenders were secured. They have since undergone an examination, and 'n en committed for trial.—. Bi rmingham Gazette. DIE WEATHER.—We have had most intense frost since Friday last ; and every loch, dam, and pand, is coated over with a thick sheet of ice, so strong that skating and curling are the order of the day every where. We have not as yet heard, however, of any im portant matches having been played. The various clubs and parish rinks are only training, as it were, for the more serious work of the season.—Ayr Observer. The Conde de Montemolin was occupied during Thursday in receiving and returning visits. In the even ing the Condo dined as, usual, with the noblemen and , gentlemen of his suite. • MESMERISM APPLIED TO TOOTH-DRAWING.—We witnessed, the other day, the extraction of a tooth from the mesmeric sleep.

She slept on after the operation was concluded, and when awakened in a few minutes, did not seem to be for some time aware that the tooth had been extracted.—Northern Warder. CHEAP OMNIBUSES IN M A NCHESTER:-..We are likely to have omnibuses established in Manchester on the penny a mile system, which has been found to answer in London. This is to be effected by means of a company with a capital of 250,000' We cannot doubt that the scheme will answer; it is one that has never yet had any approach to a trial, with the exce p tion that low fares have been found to p a y well on man y lines of road out of Manchester, in cases where with high fares the parties could do little more than pay the expenses. The adoption of a good plan of intersection, together with frequent accommodation, will, we are persuaded, show the speculation to be a highly successful one.—Courier. lion PRICE OF HORSES.—The continual increase of the means of railway transit does not appear to affect the value of horses, if we may judge from the prices which have been obtained in the neighbourhood of Salis bury for useful cattle. In the market place, last [week, the carthorses taken off the Salisbury and Bishopstoke railway works were sold by auction at from 301. to 42/. each. FALLACY OF TIIF. REPROACH OP SCIOLISM.—It ......_ _ is vain for the arrogance of learning to condemn the people to ignorance by reprobating superficial know ledge. ' The people cannot be profound, but the truths which regulate the moral and political relations of man, are at no great distance from the surface. The great works in which discoveries are contained cannot be read by the people ; but their substance passes through t variety of minute and circuitous channels to the shot and the hamlet. The converson of these works of un productive splendour into latent and unobserved activity resembles the process of nature in the external world. The expanse of.a noble lake—the course of a majestic river, imposes on the im ag i na ti on, b y every i mpress i o . of dignity and sublimity ; but it is the moisture that in sensibly arises from them which, gradually ininglink with the soil, nourishes all the luxuriancy of vegeratiot. and adorns the surface of the earth.—Sir James Mackin tosh. TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me, " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan•street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ' t ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies woald gladly purchase an lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the rcetoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The moat delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the heal ; if v_ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on c hildren's heads in a f ew appplications. It used on infsnts' vent heads c onvulsions, as well as , it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre prornotlng the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.
