IRELAND. DESTITUTION IN DONEGAL. DUBLIN, DEC. 27.—1 n this extensive northern county there are no manufactures worth naming, and pauperism is as general as in some of the worst circumstanced districts of the south and west. On many of the large estates farms are minutely subdivided, so that a large portion of the occupiers are mere cottiers, holding from one to five acres. It is upon this class that the destruction of the potato crop has operated most severely. They have lost their usual means of sub sistence—their little oat crops have either been sold to pay the rent, or eaten by their families to stave off star vation, and they are in consequence utterly destitute, as there are few resident gentlemen to form a relief com mittees, or otherwise to promote measures for relief and employment. The Belfast Vindicator contains the following repre sentations respecting the condition of one district in that county:— " The memorial which we subjoin, from the Catholic and Protestant clergy of the parish of Inismacsaint, in the barony of Tyrhugh, discloses a fact which one could scarcely credit, were it not so respectably authen ticated. Distress was so urgent, that a presentment sessions was held in Donegal, for the barony of Tyr hugh, on the 26th of last September, and 2,800/. were then voted, to give immediate employment in the parish of Inismacsaint, yet not one shilling has yet been expended in that palish. We will let the memorial speak for itself:— " TO HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN EARL OF BESBOROUGII, LIEUTENANT -GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. " The respectful Memorial of the Catholic and Pro testant Clergy, parish of Inismacsaint, barony of Tyrhugh, and county of Donegal, " Humbly showeth,—That distress, to an alarming extent, prevails in this parish; that one-third, at least, of the inhabitants have patiently subsisted, during the last six weeks, on one meal a day, expecting daily to be employed on public works ; and although money, to the amount of 2,8001., had been voted by the magis trates and associated cesspayers, at the presentment sessions, held in Donegal on the 26th of September last, for the purpose of giving immediate employment to the distressed of this parish ; yet, for want of the works having been put into operation, not one shilling has been received by them as yet, whilst employment has been afforded in all the neighbouring parishes. " Your memorialists further state, that Lieutenant Milward, one of the officers employed in this county by the Board of Works, called here in the course of this week; but his stay being short (owing, we suppose, to pressure of business in other parts of the county), was only calculated to add discontent and disappointment to the alarming distress that already prevailed, iu conse quence of his not (giving employment to more that sixty of our poor parishioners. " Yourmemorialists, deeply sympathising with our poor distressed flocks, and alarmed at the awful con sequences that must necessarily ensue from further de lay, beg leave most respectfully to request your Ex cellency to issue such instructions as will cause public works to be put into operation in this parish, that will be calculated to give employment to all who are in distress ; and your memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. _ " B. KELLY, P.P., Inismacsaint, " F. KELAGHAN, C.C., ditto, " JOHN DUNBAR, Minister of the Parish, " ' D:e. 12, 1846.' " ANSWER. " Dublin Castle, Dec. 17, 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to ac quaint you, for the infbrmation of the parties signing the memorial forwarded by you on the 12th instant, that the particu:ar attention of the Board of Works has been called to the state of th e d est it ute i n t h e par i s h o f Inis macsaint.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " T. N. REDINGTON. " Rev. B. Kelly, P,P., Ballyshannon.' " A reverend gentleman, writing to u; from this , parish, states-4 The people here are in gnat distress. From almost every barony and parish of the county, complaints against the neglects and delays of officials reach us. In the town and neighbourhood of Ramel ton there are over seven hundred families in a state of misery and destitution, and only one hundred and eighteen individuals have as yet received employment on the public works !' Nine weeks ago presentment ses sions were held in Buncrana, yet not one individual in that locality has obtained employment. The (anise , (pence is that in one week twelve deaths occurred, prin cipally from want of food I To render this most unac countable delay in the public work, not only in Ennis howen but Tvrhugh, more intolerable to those who are suffering by them, the corks in the adjoining counties are proeceuted with rigour." In the Barony of Tyrhugh, above referred to, employ ment will soon become general, so far as the estate of . the Earl of Arr an extends, that nobleman having made the necessary arrangements for large advances from the Board of Works under the Summary Drainage Act, for the improvement of his property. Mr. Hamilton, of St. Ernans, also in the same barony, is about to commence operations under that Act. It the landed proprietors generally had had the prudence and forethought to avail themselves of its provisions, the peasantry could have been employed everywhere upon productive agricultural works, and there would have been an immense saving of expenditure for useless road making. THE GUN TRADE. There has been a good deal of most m'schievous mis representation on the subject of the purchase of fire arms by the peasantry. It now appears from the most authentic information, that the purchases hare been made almost altogether by the gently and farmers, from an apprehension of attempts at plunder by the destitute peasantry. This "gun trade" is, in fact, only another evidence of the terrible condition of the poor. The Drogheda Argus thus disposes of a recent story about the " sale of arms" in that town:-- " We perceive that the Times has published, on the authority of the Drogheda Conservative, a statement that two cart-loads of fire-arms were sold by auction, at the fair in this town, on the 17th inst., and such was the avidity with which they were sought that men with scarcely a coat to their back became purchasers. These are gross falsehoods. The whole quantity c-f arms ex posed for sale was contained in a box which could be lifted by one man. It was certainly placed on the cart upon which the auctioner stood as a platform, and the entire number sold did not, we believe, exceed four pieces, of which the purchasers were small farmers; certainly not one was bought by any person of the pauper class, as the Conservative would vilely insinuate. " The sales made by the respectable hardware mer chants of Drogheda (three of whom out of four are Conservatives), have been to those who have property to defend, and to respectable persons for sporting purposes. " We notice this matter because the natural conse quence of the foul calumny, published by the Conserva tive, would be to prevent all persons at a distance from contributing towards the removal of the destitution which unfortunately prevails in Drogheda and th e neighbour hood around." EMPLOYMENT OF THE NAVY IN THE PRO VISION TRADE. The Northern Whig, a moderate and sensible journal, thus earnestly urges the employment of ships of war in the conveyance of grain from America, to supply the great deficiency in the mercantile marine. Some weeks since the Dublin El:e7ling Port and the Mercantile Adver tiser suggested a similar step, and more recently the committee of landlords have followed up the recommen dation : " If the suspension of the navigation laws, in so far as the present emergency requires, should not be sufficient, all the available resources of our navy ought to be put in requisition. Already Government ships have been used for conveying provisions to several parts of Ireland; and why should they not be used tier carrying provisions from America, for instance, where the supplies are greatest? It need not be required that they be given gratis. Indeed that would not be thought of unless the Government wer e t o b ecome importers, which they have properly declined. Let a number of Government vessels be made available to merchants, to be chartered at the ordinary rates; and in this way the treasury will suffer nothing, but rather gain something, whilst the public will be benefited by the more abundant importation of provisions. If the chief purpose of our great navy be, to form a defence of our country, it will be legitimately employed in aiding to protect us against the most ter rible enemy by which we have ever been assailed. Two other remedies are obvious, and have been repeatedly pressed upon the attention of the Government. These are—first, the opening of the ports, and, second, the ad mission of foreign articles for the use of distilleries and breweries. Other remedies will be suggested. The Government must, and will do all they can; and, all having been done which men can do (if we will only stand up, worthily, and not crouch and grovel, and whine like spiritless creatures) we must make up our minds to stand or fall, as may be, but as becomes men;—we may not have it in our power to escape the scourge of famine, but we may at least struggle manfully, and bear with courage." REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, DEc. 28.—The weekly meeting of the Asso ciation, held this day, was rather numerously attended. On the motion of Ur. O'CONNELL the chair was taken by the Hon. Cecil Lawless. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting. He ex pressed his intention of devoting the little experience he possessed to the service of his country, and trusted it might prove useful. When he contemplated the present condition of the country, he was obliged to confess that there was but a poor prospect of a happy new year for Ireland. He had read of the state of destitution to which beleaguered towns had been roduced, but he did not be lieve that in the history of human destitution anything could approach the appalling misery which at the pre sent moment existed in his native land.—(Hear, hear.) To the Union, in his mind, were those miserable results to be attributed.—(Hear.) The Union was aptly de scribed by Lord Byron, who called it the Union of the shark with its prey. Looking then upon the Union as the cause of the manifold evils of the country, it could not be wondered that he was associated with those who were endeavouring to effect its repeal.—(Cheers.) He did not mean to charge the present Government, or any particular Government with creating this state of thing s , but he w ou l d fearlessly assert that if they had a home Government the existing crisis would have been antici pated.—(Hear, hear.) John B a ll, t h oug h full of the noblest qualities, at all times exhibit..d a selfish spirit with regard to nations with which he was connected. It was that spirit which lost him the American colonies, which, had his conduct been otherwise than it was, would have rendered those colonies to him at the present d ay , a source of strength. — (Hear, hear.)' This same feeling actuated England in all her dealings with Ireland. Ile would ask, had the Irish ports been opened for the im port of foreign provisions ? or had the exports from Ire land been stopped? Why were not these courses adopted? manufacturing district s o f England Simply, because the revenue might perhaps suffer some inconsiderable inconvenience from a rise in the price of pr s ov p is p io ed n , s. les l t Y the h rvveasnuoet distillaticn stopped? it was not to THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1846 might suffer. And was a trifling loss to the national exchequer to be put in competition with the lives of the people. The English press had been vaunting of the great liberality and munificence of England, in making its advances to relieve Irish distress ; but it ought to be borne in mind that there was very valuable security for these advances.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, the Chair man expressed a hope that the Association could work out its end ; and he congratulated the meeting that there was a growing spirit of nationality springing up amongst those who had been heretofore its most strenuous oppo nents.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr. O'CONNELL handed in a number of remittances, including the renewed subscription of a freeholder of the county Meath, who required to know why Henry Grattan, M.P., the representative of the county, had not latterly attended to his duties in Conciliation Hall. In answer to that interrogatory, he (Mr. O'Connell) would reply, that he believed illness alone prevented him from being amongst them.—(Hear.) He was sure the genius of Grattan was present in that hall.—(Hear.) Mr. STEELE read the following notes of the reply of Mr. O'Connell, at the conference, on the subject of the point of constitutional law involving the safety of the Repeal Association : Mr. O'Connell seemed to expect that James Houghton would be, but Dillon was, spokesman, and his manner was not merely unexceptionable, but most courteous and respectful. As the Liberator rigorously refused any discussion of any point whatever until the law point was decided, although several efforts were made to alter his resolu tion, I rigorously restrict this note to that point and to that alone. Mr. Dillon, after expressions of compliment to Mr. O'Connell, uttered in the most courteous and gentle manly manner, saying that the seceders " considered Mr. O'Connell, and him alone, the person fit to be the poli tical leader of Ireland;" and after declaring there was nothing in the world which they (viz., the seceders) were so anxious for as for reconciliation, he expressed his firm assurance that there was nothing in the world which Mr. O'Connell was so anxious for as the same. The Liberator responded serenely in these ever memo rable words:— " The tenor of my whole life gives proof of my anxiety for conciliation of Irishmen ; but when you say there is nothing in the world for which I am so anxious as for a reconciliation, now you are greatly mistaken. I am infinitely more anxious for the safety of the Association. and that safety cannot be assured until Mr. S. O'Brien lays aside that sword which he has been flourishing in his letter from Limerick. " Do you forget, or do you not know, that bills, charging us with high treason, were prepared and sent up to be found by the grand jury ? " The bills were sent up rather late, at about half after three o'clock, and the grand jury had separated and could not be brought together on that day. " Sugden and Beeweter went together that evening to the Vice-regal Lodge, and the question was discussed with the Lord-Lieutenant, and, I believe, that it was on the suggestion of Sugden that the charge of high-treason was abandoned. " Had the grand jury not separated, the bills charging us with high treaon would have been found quite as soon as the others, and the verdict of the other jury proves what would have been the result of such a finding. " Under these circumstances, and with such an ex ample before me, am I not bound to watch vigilantly over the safety of the Association ?" Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to address the Associa tion, and was received with loud cheers. He said his address should be brief—his words should be few ; for his mind was oppressed too strongly by the intelli gence hourly reaching him, to enable him to have the heart or spirit to say mush.—(hear, hear.) He was frightened at the state of the country, and doubly so, because he did not think that others were not frightened enough.—(Hear, hear.) Food was w anting—foed was insufficient in supply. The people were starving ; and even if they had the money they could not procure food in many localities. There never was a country in such danger as Ireland at the present moment. And talking of the affairs of the Association, they dwindled into miserable insignificance when compared with the horrors of the state of the people. Much di,trese existed in the north of Ireland. Thereswas great dis tress in Leinster, almost the whole of Munster was starv ing, and Connaught, he grieved to add, was in the same awful predicament (hear, hear). He was horrified at tLe species of apathy which he saw surrounding him ; they were n•etting up committee and all that sort of thing, but something on a large and comprehensive scale should be done, or the people would inevitably starve.—(Hear, hear.) It would not du to have soup shops merely. He was c, rtainly not opposed to them, on the contrary. Let soup shops be established in every locality where it could be convenient to do so, but the calamity was a na tional one, and required a national and a comprehensive remedy.—(Cheers.) &ins populi suprema lex was an adage perfectly true at all times ; but it had all the force and energy of such conviction at the present moment.— (Hear, hear.) Something should be done on a grand scale. He (Mr. O'Connell) had been laughed at, because he made his proposal—he cared nut for their laughter— he did not think any adequate proposal had been made except his.—(Erear, hear.) His plan was to bring to gether the lauded proprietors of Ireland. Since the month of September last, he had been urging that subject on the attention of the people. Delusions, not inten tionally, but practically delu,ive steps had been taken. However, there was still an opening for the adoption of his plan. There was still a period offered for the meet mg. The meeting in the Music-hall on Wednesday lasi, resolved on calling a meetinet for the 6th of January. He (Mr. O'Connell) wanted to know, would the gentry of Ireland come together on that day ?—(Hear, hear.) At that meeting they formed committees, one a metro• politan committee, to which he had the honour of belong ing. Of course, whatever assistance he could give, was at the service of his country.—(Cheers.) It was a small thing to offer, but it would be still loss wore he to con fine these efforts to committees.—(Hear, hear.) lie hael purposely restricted himself in interfering in that matter hitherto in the association, but the time fur ceremony, and delicacy, and apprehension of every kind was gone. The people were starving, and would starve by thousands and hundreds of thousands. He was not exaggerating. He was speaking literally the truth. They would starve by hundreds of thousands if the gentry of Ireland did not rally together, and adopt a remedy of sufficient mag nitude to meet the terrible magnitude of the evil.— (Cheers.) From every quarter the cry of hunger was raised •—in Cork, the county he represented, one-fourth of the inhabitants of a district in the neighbourhood of Skibbereen were in their graves—as the result of the present famine.—(Sensation.) The rest of the county is in a state of the greatest starvation—the price of food was hourly increasing, and although the government were employing the people at an expense of nearly one million a month, yet the price of provisions was rela tively so much higher than the rate of wages, that the people were still starving and struggling with want. The wages were inadequate to the price of food. Food was daily becoming dearer, and notwithstanding that lessees of political economy were daily read from the r Castle, the people were actually starving and perishing by hundreds, and dying the horrible death of hunger.— (Cheers.) It was a hideous thing to think of ; lie would, at all events, free his own mind from any respon sibility. He would say—Liberal i unimain means.— (Cheers.) He would call upon the gentry of Ireland to arouse themselves. Let them not imagine that he had any desire to involve them in any agitation for a repeal of the union by any trick or dexterity. He did not mean any such thing. He wanted them to come together and to see whether it were possible to do anything for Ireland without repeal. If they could do anything for Ireland ; if they could do any thing to save the people without repeal he would go with them, and not ask them to go one step beyond such limits. If they could not do it, he would not ask them to move one step at all. But something should be done for Ireland. That was the first and greatest consideration.—(Cheers.) What was his play ? If the landlords came together on the 6th of January, and combined manfully for the re lief of the country, he would propose that they should insist upon the English Government raising a loan of 30,000,000 or 40,000,0001. as an increase to the national debt, to be paid for by the interest provided by the usual ways and means. That was his plan. To augment the national debt by the suns he had mentioned in order to ransack the world for food, and buy it up at any price. —(Cheers.) Yes, that was his plan. lie was sneered at and laughed at because he had suggested such a plan, but he would demonstrate that England, since the union, owed Ireland 60,000,0001.—actually 60,000,0001.—50 that they had been defrauded of that sum. They might laugh as they pleased, but when they laughed and sneered at him for making such a proposition, he would remind them that at the time of the union, Ireland owed but 20,000,0001, and England owed 446,000,000. He wished the meeting to mark the difference; and how, he asked, could anything be more unjust than to make Ireland liable for half the 446,000,000, one penny of which they did not owe, and one penny of which they would not owe if they had an Irish Parliament.—(Cheers.) They were perfectly willing to pay their own debt, and even itnhethbeligwi(iitrisntg u ol n t i i o m n, es, if not cramped and crus h e d b y would have been able to pay it.— (Hear, hear.) He woul I remind the English press which so cautiously and studiously avoided all mention of that fact, that the debt had been since increased to 800,000,000, and the English Parliament had continued to saddle Ireland with an undue proportion. If at the time of the union, the Irish debt were only 20,000,000/, and that of England 446,000,0001, , i t was reasonable to . expect that the debt of England having since increased to nearly double the amount, the increase of the Irish debt would have been in the same ratio. Why did not the English press take notice of that fact? It was one that could not be denied, and it was one which marked as strongly as any other feature, the accursed effects of the legislative union. —(Cheers.) If two men were get ting into partnership, one owing 20,000/, and the other nearly half' a million, could anything be more ludicrous than that the man owing the large amount should say to the other, " I will take you into partnership, and make myself liable beside for half your debt of twenty thousand?" " Why, you are very generous and good," would be the natural reply. " Yes, but if," he added, " you must make yourself' liable for half my 416 thou sand," would not the natural impulse be to kick such a dishonest man out?"—(Laughter.) The principle was the same. That was precisely the way as regarded the financial robbery of Ireland by England. That was the position of the two countries.—(llear.) England should not flatter herself they forgot or forgave it. To for give it they were ready, if she came forward to save the country ; but forget, they never could, till they hid a Parliament in College-green to take the seal oil' the bond.—(Loud cheers.) The lion Gentle man then adverted to the secession from the association, and repeated what he had so frequently urgi d on the subject. He commented on the obstinacy of Mr. Smith O'Brien in refusing to agree to a conference to decide the " legal que s ti on ," w hi c h formed the sole matter of dispute 'between the seceders and the association. It was not, however, to be wondered at th.at Ur. Smith O'Brien should prove so pertinacious, when it is recol lected with what obstinacy he opposed the entreaties of the Irish on the question of attendance on Parliamentary committees. In spite of every entreaty ho persisted, and the consequence was that he got locked up in jail. He did not go there in vindication of any public prin ciple, but solely to indulge a whim of fancy, and for his pains he was laughed at by the whole House of Com mons. The present was the last occasion on which he should advert to the " secession " or the seceders. It appeared as if Mr. Smith O'Brien was walking in the steps of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who had ruined the reform party by his inculcation of the principles of physical force. But he would assure Mr. O'Brien that he should not destroy the Repeal Association by any such means. The Association now stood on a fair and intelligible basis, which he trusted the machinations of the evil disposed would never he able to shake. In con clusion, he announced that it was the intention of the Association, before the end of the week, to issue an address to the people to give up all force and violence, and to abstain from plundering property, and interfering with the transmission of provisions from place to place. Mr. J. MOLLOY, barrister, read the following petition to the Legislature on the subject of Irish distress ; " The petition of the undersigned members of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland, " Humbly showeth,—That in this, the 46th year o, the union, life and property in Ireland are rendered in secure by distress and destitution of the most appalling nature, the horrors of which are aggravated from the consciousness that none but an Irish Parliament can bo expected to have the local knowledge and intimate local interest requisite for devising adequate means of relief. " That for eight months to elapse, until the harvest of 1847 relieves their immediate wants, 4,000,000 of the Irish people must be mainly supported upon the grain supplies imported from foreign countries, or the British colonies ; and that the Executive does not appear to have as yet estimated and provided against the deficiency of food for such a lengthened period. " That the merchants of Great Britain and Ireland cannot procure sufficient freightage to transport the re quisite supply of bread-stuffs to the Irish ports. " That the suspension of the navigation laws, prohi biting importation in foreign bottoms, would do much to supply the deficiency in tonnage requisite for the transport. " That several of her Majesty's frigates and war steamers, now lying idle in dock or elsewhere, might be usefully freighted for that purpose, with the collateral advantage to the state of keeping able seamen in em ployment. _ _ _ "That the Lords of the Treasury should purchase and store food at convenient depots, such food to be trans mitted with dispatch to the districts where food has risen to famine prices. " Therefore your petitioners humbly pray that the navigation laws be forthwith suspended, and that such vessels of her Majesty's navy as shall be deemed requi site for the purpose shall be made available to the mer cantile interest, or in their default to the Lords of the Treasury, for the prompt importation of the required supplies of food, and that depots thereof be formed at convenient places for sale below famine 'prices, in order to mitigate, in so far as human efforts may, the fearful calamity with which it has pleased Divine Providence, for its own wise purposes, to afflict Ireland. " An I your petitioners will ever pray." Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., in bringing up a second report of the Parliamentary Committee, took cccasion to advert to the very laudable anxiety which existed to lay the foundation of a peasant proprietary in Ireland, The Allorring Chronicle had assumed that the former report of Captain Broderick should bellooked upon as the mani festo of the association on the subject, to which every member of it should consider himself pledged. In prais ing a considerable portion of that report, the Morning Chronicle complained that it did not go far enough in its recommendations as to what was to be done with the waste lands. But that report was merely the first of a series, and did not profess to dispose of the matter en tirely. The Honourable Gentleman reiterated the de mand of Mr. O'Connell for a loan of 30,000,0001. insist ing that, in strict justice, England ought to confer that sum as a gift on Ireland, in consideration of the finan • chit injustices committed on her since the Union. At the conclusion of the proceedings the rent fur the week was announced to be a7l. 7s. 4d. The meeting then adjourned. THE LATE TREASURY MINUTE, LETTER OF MR. MORE OTERRALL, M.P. The Dublin Evening Post says :—The following is the letter alluded to in the Treasury Minute of the Ist of December, addressed to Colonel Jones by Mr. R. More OTerrall, M.P. : "Dublin, Nov. 9, 1846. Sir—l address you, as First Commissioner of Public Wallis, on a subject relating to the reproductive em ployment of the labouring classes, although the decision of the question with which I shall conclude belongs ex clusively to her Majesty's Government. That decision may be influenced by your report on the validity of the grounds which I allege in favour of my views, and, therefore, it may save time to address the Government through you. " The magistrates, rate-payers, and principal pro prietors of the barony of Carbery, county of Kil dare, having, at meetings assembled by public no tice, taken into consideration the several Acts passed in the last session of Parliament for the promotion of employment among the labour ing classes, and having given full consideration to Mr. Labouchere's letter, unan , _mously resolved to act under the 9th Vic. cap. 4, commonly called the provision for summary proceedings to facilitate drainage, which was passed, as stated in the words of the title, To afford facilities for Increased Employment for the Labouring Classes in Works of Drainage during the present year.' It received the royal assent on the sth of March, 18-16, and expires in August, 1847. I request your attention to the words of the 45th clause—' And whereas, by reason of the failure or destruction of a portion of the potato crop of the last season in Ireland, there is reason to ap prehend that in certain districts great distress may, during the ensuing spring and summer, prevail among the labouring classes of the population, and it is expe dient, with the view to alleviate such distress, by provi sions of a more summary nature than hereinbetore con tained, to give for part of the present year increased facilities and powers for commencing, without delay, and carrying on various works of utility connected with the drainage and improvement of lands in such districts, whereby remunerative employment may be afforded to the labouring classes. Be it therefore enacted, &c., Sec.' "It appeared to the meetings that this Act was ad mirably framed to effect the object of speedy and remu nerative employment ; that under its provisions pro perty would be better protected; that public loans would be better secured, and greater facility afforded for re payment of principal and interest than by the plan pro posed for reproductive employment—by drainage and sub-soiling, under the terms of Mr. Labouchere's letter, That the provisions of the Act of Parliament being clear and precise, no delay could arise from mistakes of form, and no impediment intervene from want of suffi cient authority, and, consequently, that the unemployed would be sooner set to work than if we held sessions under the 9th and 10th Vie., cap. 107, commonly called The Useless Employment Act.' At each of the meet ings above referred to, a number of applications under the 9th Vic., cap. 4, were signed and transmitted toyour office, amounting to 21, for opening the main outfalls of all the lands of the barony, which comprises 38,352 arable statute acres. " You are aware that the barony of Carbery is bounded by the rivers Boyne and Blackwater, and that the latter has been opened under the provisions of the sth and 6th Vic., cap. 89, at an expense under 10,000 L, and that the Boyne is now in progress on an estimate of 26,0001. " The object of the proprietors is; therefore, to take advantage of the means :to improvement afforded by these two great works, and by opening up the small tri • butaries through every part of the barony, to enable all the laud to be thorough drained to a depth of three feet. The great impediment to drainage hitherto in flat coun tries, has been the want of sufficient outran, or the power to maintain it if once established. " The drainage Acts of the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 89, and 9th Victoria, cap. 4, have fully and beneficially supplied these advantages—the latter of which cannot be obtained for drainages executed under Mr. Labou chere's letter. " Many thousands of pounds have been wasted on drainage in Ireland from the want of co-operation on an extended scale to maintain the outfalls. " Unfounded apprehensions prevailed as to the ex pense of works executed under the Board of Works, which the experience of the works on the Blackwater in some measure removed, and a disposition prevails to have the smaller works executed under the same super intendence. The high rate of interest charged for loans under the 9th Vic., cap. 4, still offers some impediment ; but I have strong hopes that when the proprietors con sider calmly the amount of expenditure proposed, cons. pared with the benefits to be conferred, they will give a ready assent to most, if not all, the works now under survey. You will observe that the sinking of the outfalls is only a preparatory work to the large and useful under taking of thorough drainage. " The sinking of the outfalls, if generally assented to, may occupy our surplus labour about six months ; but the thorough drainage will afford employment for some years with large profit, when conducted under a proper system. " There are many matters of an engineering and agri cultural character which will require close and careful consideration beforo we can undertake the rough drain age on a large scalp ; and, therefore, it is desirable to make all necessary inquiries while the outfalls are in progress, to en a bl e us to come to a satisfactory decision without unnecessary loss of time. " If thorough-drainage is carried on simultaneously on each estate, the charge for the best professional advice will amount to a small contribution from each proprietor. Tile manufacturers, of skill and experience, will be in duced to establish works by the large and constant de mand, and can afford to sell them at a very moderate price, from the low cost at which peat fuel can he sup plied, which will again afford employment for a class of labour unsuited to the more skilled operations of thorough drainage. A system of general employment and improve ment will tend to establish a market value for labour in the district, according to its quality, raising the intelli gent and industrious man from a class in which there is no emulation, because there has hitherto been no reward. The price of labour will rise according to its quality; the farmers can afford to pay for it like any other com modity which is high or low in price, according to its quality and supply. There will be, I trust, a constant and growing demand throughout the country for well instructed foremen drainers; and in this way, by being early in the field of improvement, I trust our barony will be able to dispose of the growing stock of labour, without resorting to those means of compulsion which has brought discredit on Irish proprietors, and accumu lated misery on the poor. " The effects of individual proprietors in improvement are necessarily very limited. There is a point at which individual exertion must cease. Public opinion exercises a great influence for good or evil. If opinion does not keep pace with individual efforts, they cannot be long sustained. To this cause I attribute much of the apathy which is said to prevail among Irish proprietors ; great efforts have been made by individuals, and they have too often ended in disappointment from want of public sympathy. " I agree with those who complain that Irish proprie tors look too much to Government for aid ; but on the other hand, they have just reason t o compain that the laws intended to aid their exertions are se imperfectly framed as to lead them into difficulties and impede their efforts at moments of the greatest pressure. It is with reference to this subject in particular that I now ad dress you. " I have stated the general desire that prevails to sink the outfalls of the barony, under the 9th Vic., cap. 4, which it is desirable to follow up by a general thorough drainage. It is true that applications for thorough drainage may be made under the provisions of the 9th Vic., cap. 4 ; but under that Act money has seldom been obtained under 5 per cent. interest, though the Treasury are empowered to advance it at any rate of in terest they think fit. " The - Million Act, 9 Vic., cap. 101, was intended as a boon to landed proprietors. It authorised an advance of money at 34 per cent. interest, and 31. per cent. for repayment of principal in 22 years ; but, unfortunately, the Act is inoperative in this country through its de fects, and no steps can be taken to profit by the benevo lent intentions of the Legislature until the Act is amended, unless the Treasury follow the example of Mr. Labouchere, and assume similar responsibility. " A difficulty suggested itself to me on the publication of Mr. Labouchere's letter, which, I presume, has been overcome in some manner unknown to me, otherwise I would not venture to propose an issue from the million voted for drainage under the provisions of 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 101, to be expended under the provisions of the 9th Vic., cap. 4. " The difficulty appears to me increased under the in struction issued on the 3d November, by which it is di rected that the sessions shall decide by resolution whe ther they will proceed strictly under the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 107, or under Mr. Labouchore's letter. If the works are executed under Mr. Labouchere's letter, they cannot be paid for out of money appropriated by Parliament, to be expended under the provisions of 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 107, so far as I know the provisions of the Appropriation Act ; but if this difficulty has been overcome, and the money appropriated to be paid under an Act of Parliament can be paid on a Miaister's letter, there is stronger ground for presuming that money appropriated ,to be expended under the pro , visions of 9th Vic., cap. 191, may be authorised to be advanced under the provisions of 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 4, both being Drainage Acts. " From your experience as Chairman of the Board of Works, you are fully aware of the delay and inconve niences arising from the defects of the Million Act, which cannot be amended for some months ; may I, therefore, hope you will represent the facts to her Ma jesty's Government, and inform me of their decision at your earliest conveaience—namely, ;whether they will direct advances to be made from the million ♦oted for drainage in Ireland on the terms specified in the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 4. I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " R. MORE O'FERRALL. " To Colonel Jones, First Corn. Public Works." TREATMENT of JEWS in HANOVER IN 1846. An act of barbarity has recently been perpetrated in Germany against a Jew, which, to a certain extent, is unparalleled in modern history. We call it unparalleled, because it did not proceed from a frantic snob, but from a deliberate Government—because it did not originate in a heated populace, but was executed under cover of the law. We abridge the melancholy particulars from Der Jude : " Shulm Moses, a Jew about fifty years of age, was a native of Germany, but his father having died in his infancy, and he himself having with his mother (who married a second time) led a wandering life for many years, he could never ascertain his birth-place. He subsequently settled in the kingdom of Hanover, married, and became the father of three children. Having in the spring of last year come under judicial examinatior, he could not prove' his country, and thus became, as it is termed in the German law, homeless. Shulm, after a fortnight's imprisonment, was released, receiving orders to leave the country, and under penalty of corporeal punishment, never more to enter it. No regard was paid to his representation that having been settled in the country for nearly half a century, and not knowing his native country, the neighbouring Governments would send him to the states whence he came, viz., Hanover. He was first sent into the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, the authorities of which immediately sent him back to Hanover. Having thns, though involuntarily, returned into the country, the penalty of corporeal punishment was inflicted, and he himself then sent into the neigh bouring duchy of Brunswick. The authorities returned him again into Hanover, and' the poor wretch underwent a second time the degrading punishment for an involun tary act. Upon this he was sent into Prussia, but again returned, and was again punished. It was a heart rending scene to behold the miserable Shulm in the midst of the winter, on foot, laden with the few things he still possessed, hunted about by the authorities from place to place, and followed on foot by his wife, with a babe at her breast, and two little children, one of five and the other of four years old. At last, when no country would receive him, he was kept in custody at Hopi, in Hanover. It was in vain that a humane lawyer, Opper• man, applied for him to the Diet of Frankfort : he re ceived no answer, and equally unsuccessful at first was the application of Shulm to Government for means to enable him to go to America. His benefactor then opened a subscription, when the public showed itself more humane than the Government. The latter, however, at last came forward, and the miserable wretch was enabled to embark at Bremen for America. Throughout the whole transaction it is not the people of Hanover, but the Government, that has behaved most inhumanly."— The Voice of Jacob. THE LATE DAVID BOOTH, ESQ. The death of this gentleman, at the house of his son in-law at Balgonie Mills, on the sth curt., was noticed in the obituary of our last week's paper His connexion with the county of Fife, as well as his literary pursuits, call for a more extended notice at our hands. Mr. Booth was born at Kannettles, in Forfarshire, on the 9th February, 1766, and was thus, at the time of hi, death, in his 81st year. He was entirely self-educated, so much so, that he often spoke of his father having only paid eighteenpence for his instruction, being one quarter at the parish school. In the early part of his life, he followed commercial pur suits, first in his native county, and afterwards in Newburgh, in this county, where he is still well remem bered as the occupant of the brewery at Woodside. It was at Newburgh that his love of literature became that passion which ever afterwards remained the master one o f hi s lif e . He bade adieu to his previous occu pations, and settled in London " a literary man." In describing his life thereafter, we copy from a writing he has left, "I am now (1843) in my 78th year, and during more than fifty of these years, have been chiefly employed in writing or in editing literary works. Several of them have been tabular for the count ing-room, such as the Tradesman's Assistant' and a Ready Reckoner,' in 8 vo.; and a volume of Interest Table,' in 4to. Others of my works have been miscel laneous, consisting of the Art of Wine Making,' Re. views," Poems,' &c., the ' Art of Brewing,' published by the Society for Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and the Explanation of scientific Terms,' published by the same society. The only works of mine that can be called politi cal are A Letter to Malthus on the Comparative State ments of the Population of Great Britain in 1801, 1811, and 1821,' and An Essay on the English Jury Laws.' My chief literary pursuits, however, have been concern ing the English language, of which I have published a Grammar, and the Principles of English Copositio❑ ;' but the work in which I have built my fondest hopes dur ing the last fifty years, and of which one quarto volume has been published, is entitled 'An Analytical Dictionary of the English Language,' on a new plan of arrangement, in which the words are explained in the order of their natural affinity, or the signification of each traced from its etymology, the present meaning being accounted for when it differs from its former acceptation ; the whole exhibiting, in one continued narrative, the origin, history, and modern usage of the exist ing vocabulary of the English tongue. The portion of th© work already published comprehends nearly one-half of the existing vocabulary, and I have mate rials collected sufficient to complete the work, if life be spared me to carry them through the press." Shortly after writing this notice, Mr. Booth was permanently laid aside from literary labours by repeated apoplectic attacks, and the publication of his great work has never been completed. We understand, however, that the manuscript has been left by him in such a forward state, as to afford good hope of the finished work being yet laid before the publie.—Fffe Herald. Alumunt IN ALGERIA.—The Correctional Tribunal of Phillippeville, in Al ger i a, was occup i e d on the 4th, with the trial of four Arabs for the murder of M. Guieu, , contractor of works at the village of St. Antoine. It app(ared from the evidence that, in 1845, three natives having been executed for the murder of two French wood-cutters, the Arabs of the same tribe exclaimed loudly against the injustice of thus taking three lives for two. In consequence they swore vengeance by eating a piece of bread together, declaring that it was the salt that bound them together to revenge their brothers. On October 14, 1845, the prisoners and another man, who afterwards escaped, hid themselves in a thicket, close to the Constantina Road, and when the deceased rode past, they . fired at him; and, on his falling off his horse, they seized on the animal and made off with it. A servant of the deceased, named Berthaud, came up shortly after, and found his master expiring, being just able to state what had occurred. On the trial three of the prisoners did not attempt to deny what they had done, but the fourth showed that he bad been in some measure constrained to accompany the party. In consequence this man, named Messaoud -ben-Ali, was acquitted, whilst the other three, Messaoud-ben-Saad, and Ahmed-ben-Saad, and Abdallah-ben-Bouchelig a , were condemned to death. The same sentence was passed by default on Ali-Ben- Anari, who has hitherto escaped arrest.—French SINGULAR POLICE NOTICE.—The following sin gular information was on Tuesday circulated throughout the divisions of the metropolitan and city police P Division, December 28, 1846. At 3 o'clock p.m., this day, a coachman and footman, with carriage, set down at King's-cross, and have not yet returned. It is supposed they are locked up at some station.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. 11 o lda Boddington and Jenlan hincke6 were again put to the bar on suspicion of having stolen a bundle of male attire, which they were carrying across Smithfield, about nine o'clock in the morning on Tuesday last. Hawkes, who is a hairdresser, was attired as a woman in a lavender and white dress, with a black veil and black bonnet. He had ringlets of false hair hanging about his temples, and looked exactly the character be had assumed. Ile had been allowed to put on the coat and trousers his companion was carrying, to see whether they would fit him, but he was obliged to resume his masquerading garb before ha was put to the bar this morning. Alderman JOHNSON inquired if the policeman had made any inquiry into the character of the prisoners. The officer said he had, and he had found nothing to their prejudice. Hawkes was carrying on business in Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell, and was considered a respectable man in the neighbourhood. The landlady of the house where Boddington resided was present to speak to her character. Mrs. Slater, of Wingrove-place, St. John's-street, said the prisoner had lodged in her house a fortnight, and she had given her notice to quit on account of the late hours she kept. As the room was not furnished she was not required to give a reference. She had not been guilty of any improper conduct in the house till this affair occurred on Monday. She saw the young man arrive in his proper dress, but he went away attired as a woman with Miss Boddington. He changed his dress in her room. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON asked Miss Boddington how she obtained her living ? The prisoner said she was assisted by her friends, who lived in the country. She had a sister residing at Fulham, but no other friends in town. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said she had disgraced her self by joining in this adventure, and she must be very careful for the future. He discharged her, and required the barber to find a surety for his good behaviour for a year. _ _ His father, with some reluctance, became that surety. The Court was occupied a considerable time in further hearing a charge of feloniously stealing four plated can dlesticks, with snuffers and tray. Mr. Alderman Johnson was assisted by Aldermen Farebrother and Moon. Mr. Locke, one of the Common Pleaders, attended with Mr. Jones, a solicitor, to sustain the charge; and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Moss, a solici tor, defended the accused, Messrs. Frederick and Edmund Coleman, wine-merchants in Old Broad -street. The previous evidence of Mr. Charles Green, of Assam Villa, Forest-hill, was first r ea d over , f rom which it ap peared that on the 15th instant a search -warrant was issued, on the oath of Mr. Green, that the candlesticks were lately stolen from his house, and were believed to be lodged at Messrs. Coleman's. When Roe, the City officer inquired for the articles they were given up to him, and Messrs. Colrman appeared before the magis trate to account for the possession of the property which they were then charged by Mr. Green with having stolen from him. It appeared, that early in the present year the two Colernans, with a friend named Perry, and Mr. Green, agreed to rent and furnish Assam Villa, and live together. Servants, food, &0., were to be put down to the joint account, and each pay his fourth share at the end of the year. Perry became a bankrupt, and the ac count to the end of July was found to be 4121. Mr. Frederick Coleman seceded, as well as Mr. Perry ; but Mr. Edmund Coleman continued to reside at the villa, as well as Mr. Green. About the end of November, Mr. Frederick Coleman called for a division of the plate, which was of considerable value. Mr. Green resisted it because he was liable for the rent of the house and debts to the amount of 501. ; and he locked up all the plate in two cupboards in his bed room, each gentleman having a separate room. One day Mr. Frederick Coleman came down with a cart, and, in the absence of Mr. Green, opened his cupboards, and carried off all the plate, and all the furniture that was used in Perry's room. Mr. Edmund Coleman was present, and assisted in the removal of the property. Mr. Locke applied for a search -warrant to seize and recover the whole of the property, on the ground that it was a felonious taking to enter a mail's private room, unlock his cupboards, and carry off what he might find there. If he had any right in the property he must seek his legal remedy, and not resort to lawless force. Mr. Alderman Moon granted a warrant, but restricted it to articles the private property of Mr. Green, and which had not been purchased for the joint use of the parties. Mr. Clarkson now cross-examined Mr. Green, who said he was formerly a clerk in the Birmingham Railway establishment, and then became an accountant. An action was pending against him for detaining a bank rupt's books, but he should prove he had a lien on them. He had detained another bankrupt's books till the Court of Bankruptcy satisfied his claim. He had referred the landlord of Assam Villa to Messrs. Vere. Had per mission to do so, though he had no account there. If he had been advertised in the swindlers' list he was not aware of it, and should seek redress. He had employed a solicitor to compound with his creditors a year ago. He was nothing now. He had been nothing since Mr. Henry Coleman lent him 1 5001. As to when he had last any money of his own, Mr. Clarkson had no right to fish into his private business. Mr. Locke re-examined him, when he stated that he was introduced to Mr. Perry to advise with him on his pecuniary difficulties. Mr. Perry introduced him for a like purpose to Mr. Henry Coleman, who was involved by railway transactions. He resolved to go on the Con tinent, leaving witness 1,5001. to speculate in railways. 11e bought shares, sold them, and gave the money to Perry by direction of henry Coleman, Mr. Alderman FAREHROTHER asked if Messrs. Cole man retained the property they had carried off, or had converted it to their own use? Mr. Moss said they retained it. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON intimated that his colleagues agreed with him that the taking was not felonious, be cause the Messrs. Coleman believed they had a right to take care of the property. Mr. Clarkson said, that relieved him from much that he had to say ; but he proceeded to make some caustic observations on the evidence of Mr. Green, Ile had never in his life heard a more impudent charge of felony. Mr. Green threatened to make Mr. Clarkson pay for what he had said about him. The Magistrates concurred in dismissing the charge against Messrs. Coleman. Mr. Green claimed, and Mr. Moss conceded to him, possession of the four candlesticks, snuffers, and tray. BOW-STREET. A man named Timothy Mahony, who occupied a miserable house in Shire-lane, Temple-bar, was charged with suffering a poor family to inhabit a cellar under his premises, contrary to the provisions of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 84, s. 103 (the Building Act). The charge was preferred by Mr. Boswood, the re lieving-officer of the Strand Union, at the instance of the board of guardians, and the defendant pleaded guilty. Mr. Dowling, one of the guardians, described the wretched condition of the cellar, in which an old man find a woman and several children had been living, with out furniture or light, and with nothing but a heap of shavings for their bed. The place was desolate in the extreme, and wholly destitute of ventilation. It was stated that the defendant had pleaded his igno rance of the prohibitions of the Building Act, and that he had received no remuneration from the poor creatures occupying the cellar. Mr. Mosely, another guardian, observed, that it was not the wish of the board to press the present case, but they desired that the liability imposed by the new Act upon persons in a similar situation should be better known. Mr. HENRY commended the guardians and other officers of the Strand Union for their general attention to the interests of the poor, and adverted to the clauses of the Act, which rendered the defendant liable to a penalty of 20s. per day for suffering his cellar to be in habited. He regretted that there was not some better means of making the provisions of the Act known among the class of people whom these clauses were in tended to affect. He thought much good would result from a personal visitation by the officers of the parish in districts which the poorer classes generally resorted to, with the view of communicating a knowledge of the law upon the subject, and warning them of the consequences of its infrigement. As the guardian did not press the charge against( the defendant, his Worship merely required him to pay the cost of the summons, upon which he was discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Thomas !Word Campbell was summoned before Mr. Hardwicke for having assaulted Mr. Charles Hartnung. Mr. Hartnung said he was a watchmaker occupying apartments at No. 47, 'Warwick -street, Golden-square, where the defendant also lodged. On Monday last ho had occasion to open the staircase window for an instant, when the defendant came out of his apartments in a great rage, and seized him by the collar, and after striking him, threatened he would be the death of him. The defendant then armed himself with a poker, which he brandished about, and renewed his threats of vengeance should yo f have o the n c h o o m u p s i c n o a m n t p . I n l a a n d t h i it d n n o o i d b o e u e b n sustained further injury. A s it wa s, his shirt and habili ments were torn in th e scu ffl e . The complainant pro ceeded to say that th e d e f en d a nt was generally belie ve d to be not in posse ss i on o f soun d intellect. The def en d ant had been in confinement for some time, and d ur i ng the period he had recently been at liberty, he h a d conducted himself with so much eccentricity and vi o l ence, as to t t fo h r at t h h o e afford ground for the opinion that he ou g h t not to be permitted to remain without being placed un d er some degree of restraint. Ile (complainant) declared he went in fear of personal violence, though there really was no cause why the defendant should enterta i n hostile feelings towards him. There were several persons with whom the defendant had lodged present, who had also been th rea tened with personal v i o l ence b y him, and who would state their opinion of the defendant while he was their lodger. Mr. Rowe, bracemaker, Air-street, said the defendant lodged with him for a s h ort t i me. The defendant was very hasty in his behavi our , an d h a d acted with so much violence in consequence of some imaginary of fence, that witness was obliged to say he would call in the police. Air. Tomlinson said the defendant had lodged with him a short time ago. The defendant's principal occu pation was I: , oking through a telescope at the stars and giving odd names to his alleged discoveries of new planets. He would freguently stand before a looking glass, and after reg4rding himself attentively for a short time would suddenly call out " What an ugly ape I am." Mr. Campbell, in defence, denied the assault. He was inconvenienced by the complainant opening the window, and on attempting a remonstrance he was as saulted. He certainly did lay hold of the complainant to protect himself from injury, but he released him on being requested to do so. " An outrage against feel ings," continued Mr. Campbell, " may lead to conclu sions, but it does not amount to an outrage in law. If person in a field wishes to shut a gate, and another person attempts to prevent him, and is struck, this is an outrage against feelings, but not an assault. This is my case.•. the landlady, Mrs. M.Cloud, said the detaidant was a very quiet and good lodger. The complainant, on the contrary, was in the habit of breaking the peace of her house. Mr. HARDWICK said, as the complainant swore he went in bodily fear, the defendant must find bail, himself in 501. and two sureties of 251. each, LAMBETH., John Bober! Lee Middleton, a young man, who had been apprehended on a warrant that morning, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of committing a gross outrage in the house in whch he lodged. Mr. Games, who attended on behalf ,of the prisoner, submitted, upon his client being put to the bar, and the complainant not appearing to make the charge, that the friends of the former had made a fair and suitable com pensation to the latter for the insult offered and injury done to her, and under the circumstances he hoped the prisoner might be discharged. Mr. ELLIOTT replied that the prisoner's offence was of too serious a character to permit of a private arrange ment. In fact, he had been guilty of a very serious outrage and assault upon an infirm woman, deprived of her sight, as well as one also upon a little girl who slept with her ; and, therefore, the case must be heard in the usual way. Shortly after the complainant m9,de her appearance, and the case wa s proceeded with. From the state ment it appeared, that she was blind and had bean confined to her bed for the last five weeks, from illness, at her lodging, 5, Lambeth-square. On Saturday morning, about four o'clock, the prisoner, who WAs a lodger in the house, came home, forced her bedroom door open, and threw himself upon the bed, upon which she and a little girl, the daughter of her nurse, were sleeping. He first assaulted the girl in an im proper manner, and then attacked her. She resisted him as well as her strength would allow her, and got out of bed, but he caught her, tore her nightdress, and flung her on the bed again. She called out for assist ance, and sent the little girl down for the landlady, but the latter did not come to her, and she (complainant) ultimately managed to get away from him, but how she scarcely knew, and went down stairs. In her cross-examination by Mr. Games, the witness admitted that after going down stairs on the morning in question, and after the alleged outrage, she had drunk some brandy and water, which had been sent for by the prisoner, but added that she had done so at the earnest request of Mrs. Poulter. She also admitted having re ceived 21., and had a promise of a third pound from a friend of the prisoner, as a compensation for the offence and the injury done to her bed and other things in her apartment by the prisoner. Mr. Games submitted that this admission put an end to the case. Mr. ELLIOTT thought otherwise, and elicited from the witness that she had been recoma3endal by her friends to take the money; first, in consequence of her bad health and her confined means; and next, in "considers tion of the mother of the prisoner, who was represented to be a very respectable woman, to whom a prosecution would be a very serious injury. The little girl who slept with the last witness deposed to having been assaulted herself, in the first instance, and described the prisoner's disgusting conduct on the occasion. For the defence, Mrs. Poulter, the landlady of the house, and her brother, were called, but their evidence did not contradict the testimony of the witnesses for the complainant. After hearing them, Mr. ELLIOTT regretted he had not the power to deal with the case as it really deserved, by sending the pri soner to the treadmill. By sending the case to the sessions he feared„ rom what had already occurred, that justice would be defeated, and he should, under all the circumstances, take it on himself to dispose of it sum marily. In doing this, he should impose the highest penalty the law permitted, namely, 5/. for each assault on the little girl and the poor blind woman, or four months' imprisonment. Mr. Games applied to the magistrate to order the com plainant to give back the 21. which she accepted - as a compensation; but he refused to do so, remarking that she m as entitled to it for the injury done to the property in her room.
