IRELAND. THE PREMIER'S LETTER ON IRELAND. - - - DUBLIN, Nov. 6.—Lord John Russell's recent letter to the Duke of Leinster has called forth the following defensive rejoinder from the Earl of Desart. It is ad dressed to the editor of the Evening Mail:— " November 5, 1846. " Sir,—l trust that I may be permitted to a vail my self of your columns to enter my protest againt the im plication of neglect of duty on the part of the Irish landlords conveyed in the first part of Lord John Rus sell's letter (dated the 17th of October, 1846), to the Duke of Leinster. Lord John Russell writes,—' It had been our hope and expectation that landed proprietors would have commenced wor ks of drainage and other im provements on their own accou nt, thus employing the people:on their own estates.' " Does Lord John Russell here allude to those who have hitherto neglected their estates? If so, surely his knowledge of human nature must have been sufficient to tell him that these whom neither a sense of interest nor mutual obligation had hitherto been able to incite to a p er formance of theF duties would not be likely to com e forward at this crisis. But if he alludes to the r es ident and improving proprietors, how does he expect them, with a diminished rental and increased burdens, to create a new fund to meet the present emergency? If they have hitherto done their duty, they have employed their available income in carrying o u t i m p rovemen ts on their properties ; and, in the present times, it will require the utmost economy on their parts to continue (not to in crease) the number of their labourers. "But, say that a landlord still wishes to overcome these difEculties, and by laying out borrowed money on remunerative works give additional employment. He turns to the Million Act (for borrowing money on en tailed estates, by private loan, on advantageous terms, is next to impossible in Ireland),: the provisions of which, though far from faultless, and impeded by cumbersome machinery, seem to be available. lam not theorizing, but speak from experience. His application for a loan under that Act is met by the brief but conclusive state ment, ' that no tenant for life need apply.' The absurdity of denying to entailed estates advantages of which they, above all others, stand in need, is too glaring to require any comment. Were it indeed provided that every proprietor willing to support the poor on his estate should be exempt from the general baronial tax, I am sure that the number of those who would most joyfully accept the offer would be very. large. But this provision would, I fear, be impracticable, and, at any rate, has not been adopted. What more, then, can Lord John Russell expect from the Irish resident proprietors ? In spite of diminished resources, they are endeavouring, by strict economy and self-denial, to maintain their usual amount of labour; and they are giving up their time and attention in the hope of rendering available the pro 'Asions for useful and profitable works sanctioned by the Executive. " Te recount the difficulties of the task, or 'to blame those by whom those difficulties seem to be caused or aggravated, would be entirely foreign to my purpose in writing these few remarks. I will only add, that the difficulties to be encountered by all Irish proprietors at the present crisis cannot be understood or appreciated by any but those intimately acquainted with the social condition of Ireland. To meet these difficulties they are giving (at least a large portion of them) their incomes, their time, and their abilities. Let us hope that the result of these endeavours may prove their reward—the only one, indeed, they seem likely to reap.—l have the honour to be, your obedient servant, " DESART." DEATH BY STARVATION. The Cork Reporter publishes a full note of the evi dence taken at a coroner's inquest held at Skibbereen, on the body of a man named M'l(ennedy, who died of hunger, although it was proved by several witnesses that a fortnight's wages, due to the wretched man at the time of his decease, were withheld owing to a very inex cusable blunder on the part of the subordinates in the employ of the Thud of Works, it having transpired that one pay-clerk got in mistake, and paid in his dis trict, the money intended to be paid on the road on which M'Kennedy died. Evidence upon this point having been given, the report concludes as follows : " CRONER—Gentlemen of the jury, we have gone minutely into the consideration of the case before you— namely, the death of Dennis M•liennedy. You have the painful details before you, and it is quite unneces sary for me to add one word in explanation of the evi dence. This case will, I trust, prove of infinite service, not alone to this district, but to the country at large,—it will show the Board of Works that men in their employ are starving to whom money is due for their labour on the public works. " The Rer. Mr. Townsend—Mr. Coroner, does it ap pear that the money for payment of poor 111‘liennedy's wages was in the hands of either pay-clerk at the time of the poor fellow's death? " CORONER—No, the contrary has been sworn to. " The Rev. Mr. Webb—We have no evidence that there was any money in the bank or elsewhere for poor M'Kennedy's pay._ _ " The Rev. Yr. Townsend—Such is the evidence on oath, that there were no funds. " Captain Gordon's successor—The money came, but, through some mistake, went to Mr. Notter, and was expended by him in payment of his district, when it should have been paid on the Cahara line ; but these stories, received in gossip, are turned against the Board of Works. " The Rev. Mr. Townsend—Sir, the question here is not about the Board of Works or its officials; the ques tion here, sir, is about the death of my fellow-creature. Those accounts, you say. we get in gossip; but, sir, the contrary is the fact. We have poor &I'Kennedy's death and the cause of it sworn to. That evidence proves that oar people are dying by the ditch side for want of pay ment of their hire. 'We take no such statements, sir, nor shall we be told by an official that we do. " To Mr. Gaynor—Had Mr. Ross funds for the pay ment of this poor man when he died? " Mr. Gaynor—l believe not, sir. " The Re - v. Mr. Townsend—Admirable system! The money due in the east we have paid in the west. The board, sir, should settle between them and their officials, but none under them should starve. As an instance of our present state, I must mention that, a few days since, a poor countrywoman came to me to sell a pullet —poor little Jerry's pullet, she said—a present—the tears start ing to her eyes at the thought that she must part with poor Jerry's pullet. But the pullet she should sell, or poor Jerry should starve. She was asked, 'lf your children love this pullet so much, why sell it—isn't your husband at work?' Yes, but he couldn't get his hire, and he'd rather starve off the road than on it;' and yet public functionaries tell us that such stories as poor APlCennedy's are all gossip. " The jury returned the following verdict That the said Dennis M'Kennedy on the 24th day of October, in the year aforesaid, at Cahara-road, in the county afore said, died of starvation, owing to the gross negligence of the Board of Works.' " In the meantime, while such melancholy scenes as the foregoing are being enacted, the supplies of food are be coming daily cheaper and more abundant. There was a further decline in the price of wheat at the Dublin Corn Exchange to-day, and the meat markets are gradually receding to their average rates. Large quantities of Indian corn, too, are,fast pourimg into our southern port s , the effects of which are already perceptible in the reduc tion of prices. The Cork Constitution of yesterday thus reports progress:— _ SinCe our publication of Tuesday four vessels have come in. The cargo of one of them was sold to the Cork Reliet Committee at 14/. 17s. 6d. a ton. Another cargo, of the finest quality from Viana, in the north of Portugal, is offered at 15/. The same description of corn brought last week 161., and some sold as high as 161. 10s." The Cork Reporter of the same date adds : " We are extremely happy in being enabled to record the gratifying fact, that there are now in our harbour seven vessels heavily laden with Indian corn from the Mediterranean. The cargo of one ship has been pur chased by the Relief Committee, of another by Messrs. Goold and M'Namara, one by Mr. Morgan, and one by the Messrs. Hackett, of Middleton ; another vessel re ceived orders to proceed to Waterford, where her cargo was purchased. When we consider that this supply is entirely independent of the vast importations now on the way from America, it affords a complete corroboration of our view 3, that the supply of food from abroad would be fully equal to the demand, and that prices should recede from the point to which speculators had raised them."

NOVEMBER 7.—The following letter appears in the Nation of this day:— " Cahirmoyle, Nov. 5. "My dear Mr. Duffy,—lt has given me much plea sure to learn from you that several men, whose patriot ism, worth, and abilities are not unknown to the public, have signified their desire to give effect by their co operation to the suggestions offered by me in the letter which appeared in your last publication. " It is desirable that there should be no misunder standing as to the circumstances under which this pro posal originated. " A considerable number of individuals, who are ar dently devoted to the cause of repeal, having been ex cluded from the Repeal Association because they are unwilling to subscribe a test imposed for reasons which are not yet fully understood by the public, are naturally led to seek other opportunities through the means of which they may be enabled to labour in the service of their country. " No other organization being at present available, it seems to us that the Nation newspaper may be advan vantageously made an organ for giving utterance to the opinions of men of this class. " We do not contemplate any interference with the editorial department of your newspaper, nor with your arrangements for giving that information respecting passing events which every newspaper is expected to convey to the public; but we ask whether it be com patible with the essential requirements of your journal to dedicate an assigned space to the reception of such papers, letters, essays, suggestions, criticisms, &c., as may be supplied by writers whose capacity for affording instruction to the people has been sufficiently tested? "It is not necessary nor desirable to lay down any unalterable plan for carrying into effect this suggestion ; but I am disposed to think that it would be sufficient to allot weekly eight or ten columns of your publication to the purpose contemplated in this proposal. " The papers ought to be short, terse, and well consi dered. In no case should an article exceed two columns. A valuable thought may often be communicated in a few lines. The form of address ought to be left to the judg ment of each writer. The subjects should be as much varied as possible, but the animating principle of each composition must be the desire to propagate a spirit of nationality. " I am much pleased with the title which Mr. O'Con nell has, by way of derision, bestowed upon us—the Phalanx—the National Phalanx—the Patriot Phalanx — the Irish Phalanx ; any of these denominations cannot fail to be acceptable to men who are struggling for the rights of their native land. We trust and believe that this phalanx—wielding no other weapons than those of reason and truth—may hereafter tecome formidable to the enemies of our country. Mr. O'Connell will find that it is not easy to laugh down men who are heartily in earnest, and single-minded in purpose. A misplaced sneer disfigures no face except that which wears it. He need not fear, however, that provocation will lead to re prisal. We shall endeavour to imitate his virtues, not his failings. Our duty to our country warns us to avoid the strife of personal controversy, and bids us devote all our faculties to the high and holy task of endeavouring not only to augment the happiness of our fellow-country men, but also to place the enjoyment of that happiness upon the secure foundation of national freedom. "We challenge emulation in such a career, and shall rejoice to find ourselves outstripped, even by thosa who first flattered, then wronged and misrepresented, and who now appear disposed to insult us. "Believe me, very faithfully yours, " To C. G. Duffy, Esq." " W. S. O'BRIEN. THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE • COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED TO INQUIRE INTO THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN WALES. Committee of Council on Education, Council Office, Whitehall, October 1, 1846. Sir, —Attention was called, during the last session of Parliament, to the state of education in Wales, by a mo tion in the House of Commons, for an address to the Queen, praying her Majesty " To direct an inquiry to be made into the state of education in the Principality of Wales, especially into the means afforded to the labouring classes of acquiring a knowledge of a • English language.' The Secretary of State for the Home Department undertook on that occasion, on behalf of her Majesty's late Government, that such an inquiry should be insti tuted, and he intimated that it should be conducted under the authority of the Committee of Council on Education. Their Lordships having had this subject under their consideration, entirely concur in the expediency of such an inquiry; and, having selected you ab one of the per sons to whom it is to be entrusted, they have directed me to address to you the following instructions, as to the nature and objects of your commission, and the mode in which your duties are to be executed. The object of your commission is, to ascertain, as accurately as circumstances will permit, the existing number of schools of all descriptions, for the education of the children of the labouring classes, or of adults the amount of attendance the ages of the scholars and the character of the instruc tion given in the schools, in order that her Majesty's Government and Parliament may be enabled, by having these facts before them, in connexion with the wants and circumstances of the population of the principality, to consider what measures ought to be taken for the im provement of the existing means of education in Wales. The schools for the instruction of the poorer classes in Wales have chiefly been erected by private benefi cence, and some have been endowed from the same source ; such of them as have no permanent endow ment are supported by the small payments of the poor, by collections in religious congregations, and by volun tary subscriptions. You will be furnished with a list of those schools which have of late years been erected with aid from par liamentary grants, and the report of the Charity Com missioners will give you useful information as to the endowed schools. You will be able to ascertain by local inquiry, the ex istence of other schools not comprised in either of these classes. FOREIGN POLICY. (From the Tittles.) The foreign policy of Lord Aberdeen loses nothing by the contrast with that of his succcessor ; and a series of untoward circumstances has cast a remarkable gloom over Lord Pahnerston's return to the department over which he presides. If we were disposed to retort upon him, or upon the organs of his confidence, that angry criticism and unsparing abuse which they lavished upon the late Foreign Minister, subjects and opportuni ties for this kind of retaliation would not be wanting ; bat we may safely trust to the force of facts to annihi late accusations which never obtained the ear of the na- Their Lordships cannot confer on you any absolute authority to enter into and examine schools, nor to re quire from any persons information respecting them which they may be unwilling to communicate. Your success will, therefore, in a great degree depend on your own courtesy and discretion in the prosecution of your inquiries, and on that sense of the importance of your commission which their Lordships trust may pervade all classes ; and on a disposition to co-operate with her Majesty's Government in the adoption of means for the removal of popular ignorance. Their Lordships confidently anticipate that this dis position will be generally evinced, and will greatly faci litate your labours. You will explain to the trustees and managers of the schools, coming within the scope of your inquiries, what is the object of your commis sion ; and that your visit to them will be limited to an attempt to form a just general estimate of the means of education available for the poor in Wales. If no objection is made to your visit, you will person ally examine, where practicable, the condition of the school, keeping in view the following particulars, as those on which it will be important to obtain corret in formation :—The tenure of the school, whether held under a mere temporary occupation, or secured by deed for ever, or for a term of years—the capacity of the school-room—the state of the school furniture and ap paratus,--the number of children on the books—the average attendance—the organisation of the school, and the methods used—the subjects professed to be taught— the time allotted to each—the books used—whether the children are instructed in the Welsh language, or in the English, or in both—whether in each case in the gram mar or not—the actual condition of their instruction on all subjects professed to be taught. You will ascertain the amount and sources of the annual income available for the necessary expenses ; the number of teachers— their ages, whether trained at a normal school or at a model school—for what period and when. At what age they commenced their vocation as teachers : their previous occupation—the salaries of each teacher—their income of school pence, and other emoluments. Whe ther they follow any trade, or hold any other office. Whether they have a house rent free, a garden rent free, fuel, or other emoluments. 'Whenever you have means to form a just estimate of the qualifications and attainments of the master, it should be so stated as not to operate as a discourage ment to humble but deserving men, who may have had few opportunities of education. Where circumstances may render it impracticable to institute a minute personal inquiry, you will endeavour, by such means as will be available, to obtain as much information, on which reliance can be placed, as possible. Numerous Sunday schools have been established in Wales, and their character and tendencies should not be overlooked, in an attempt to estimate the provision for the instruction of the poor. The Sunday school must be regarded as the most remarkable, because the most general, spontaneous effort of the zeal of Christian congregations for education. Its origin, organisation, and tendencies are purely religious. The amount of secular instruction communicated is generally limited to the art of reading : while, there fore, you avail yourself of any opportunities afforded you to enter such schools, you will bear in mind that they are schools of religion, and that the respect which is due from you, as an officer of the Government, for the liberty which religious communities enjoy, should render you exceedingly careful that you in no degree infringe the civil privileges of religions congregations, either while in the schools, or by the use ycu may make of the information you may be permitted to ac- Lion ; and it were well for England if those energies which were then so exclusively attributed to Lord Pal merston could insure to this country as much influence, security, and respect as it enjoyed under the temperate guidance of Lord Aberdeen. The sinking tide has, how ever, disclosed rocks and shoals about our course, over which we floated a few months ago in confidence and safety. We have reason to be dissatisfied with our foreign relations on more sides than one. The Queen of England can no longer meet her Parliament with the customary but im portant assurance of an undiminished good understanding with all the world. The Government have loudly and justly remonstrated and protested against a transaction accomplished without us, and in spite of us, at Madrid ; and in the New World Lord Palmerston seems to be condemned to witness, without even the relief of a re monstrance, the incorporation of an empire into the Ame rican Union. We are not so unreasonable or so unjust as to impute to Lord Palmerston evils which he could not prevent and cannot repair. We shall not even press upon him considerations arising from the mistrust he unluckily inspired abroad, at a time when his policy was supposed to be accomplishing its greatest triumphs, but when it was in reality sowing the seeds of humiliation and dislike. If it were possible to separate the present from the past, our Foreign Secretary might lay claim to the praise of: having done all that could now be done to maintain the honour and interests of the country, when we were tricked by our nearest ally ; and it is not the business of an English pen to recal those incidents of a former time which have unfortunately made him an object of such bitter rancour elsewhere. We pointed them out in 1840, when they took place; we recorded the verification of our predictions when Lord John Russell failed in his attempt to form a cabinet eleven months ago; and although the obstacles which then occurred have since been surmounted, the state of our foreign relations is certainly not calculated to prove that they were unfounded or that they have been re moved. Nothing is clearer in the history of the late achievements of French diplomacy in Spain than that Louis Philippe and M. Guizot took advantage of Lord Palmerston's return to office to effect a stroke of policy under pretence of a counter-intrigue on the part of England. They hoped, in the first place, to throw the blame and disgrace of the rupture that must ensue on a rival statesman whom they hate; and they expected, in the second place, that their statements would obtain credit in Europe, in opposition to those of an English Minister who does not personally enjoy the confidence of the Northern Courts. In both these expectations we are convinced they are signally deceived. We are per fectly satisfied that the whole course of the British Government, with reference to the Spanish marriages, was as plain, straightforward, and disinterested under Lord Palmerston as it had been under Lord Aberdeen, and that the forbear ance and good faith of this country have been as complete as those of our neighbours have been the re verse. As long as our case stands thus high, we en tertain no fears for the consequences to our character and influence in Europe ; and we are convinced that the means and acts by which Louis Philippe and his instru ments have filched this Princess and her inheritance from Spain have done far more injury to his station and cha racter in Euro,pe than that which we have sustained by these intrigues. Some of the journals of the French Court have amused themselves in speculating on the for mation of new alliances with the continental Powers. Do they imagine that the best means of earning the confi dence of those states who view the dynasty of Orleans and the character of the King with profound aversion is to show that no obligations are sacred in his eyes, and that the only country which has made a hundred ge nerous sacrifices to the French alliance has made those sacrifices in vain ? The Presse is ready to purchase a Russian alliance at any price—the partition of Turkey, and the final abandonment of Poland. The alliance of England was proffered on more moderate terms : we re • quired nothing but good faith and plain-dealing, but those are qualities which are sometimes more rare than offers of joint spoliation and combined injus tice. As a matter of fact, however, we are confident that these speculations on a Russo-French alliance are entirely visionary and unfounded. As long as M. Guizot adhered steadily to the cause of peace, which was identified with the alliance of England, he stood better at Vienna, at Berlin, and at St. Petersburgh, than any former Minister of France since 1830. But in pro portion as he has receded, or diverted his course from the original principles of his administration, he becomes an object of suspiCion at the other Courts, as well as at his own. In 1810 a combination of the four Powers, pro jected by Russia and adopted by England, was instantly regarded as a hostile coalition by France ; and the isolated position in which she stood shook her frame to the centre. The deliberate and spontaneous act of the French Government has now placed her in a position equally isolated, unless indeed she boast of her alliance with Spain, and her strength in the Peninsula. The apprehensions and distrust of Austria are heightened to a state of terror by the attitude of the Papal Government, the increase of French influence in Italy, and the disturbances in Switzerland, whilst Paris is still regarded as the seat of those revolutionary doc trines which infect under peculiar forms several pro vinces of the empire. In Prussia, as well as in Austria, any act which threatens to disturb the balance of power and the tranquillity of Europe is viewed with dismay; ' for the Court of Berlin is perfectly aware that its sub jects will make the discharge of their military duties contingent upon the recognition of their constitutional rights. In Prussia, the finances of the kingdom could only be supported in the event of war by the concur rence of the estates of the realm. In Austria, the) could not be supported at all. In Russia, we know not what the French t xpect after having endured fifteen years of incivility and insult from the Court; but if they are content to supplicate for the favour of Ni cholas in humble guise, they make up for their ser vility at St. Petersburgh by their arrogance at Madrid. In all these Courts the late transactions are vie ed with indifference as regards Spain, with a little malicious diversion at the expense of England, but with indigna tion and disgust at the duplicity of France. The main support which M. Guizot gave to the Government of Louis Philippe was derived from the supposed integrity of his character —a quality more valuable by far in the eyes of Europe than his Parliamentary eloquence or his diplomatic address. The King, however, has made so large a draught on the virtues he wanted, that he seems to have exhausted the supply, and he has proportionably weakened his Minister and impaired his fame. To the King such sacrifices cost but little, and he will probabh not stop there, if the destruction of the Cabinet can cover his own share in these performances; but to the real in terests of France and the reluctant confidence of the European Powers, he has given a shock from which they will not soon recover ; and nothing could tend more effectually to strengthen the closest understanding be tween our own Government and the other great Powers of Europe, in case more agitated times should follow the termination of his reign. quire. The results of your inquiries will be important in proportion as they are complete and accurate, and you will be provided with such temporary aid as may be ne cessary for the purpose of collecting and arranging the statistical facts which will be embodied in your report. In some parts of the country, it will probably be necessary that you should avail yourself of the services of persons possessing a knowledge of the Welsh language. In reporting on the number and description of schools in any district, you will not fail to keep in mind the amount, character, and condition of the population, and the means available in the district for the maintenance of schools. You will also be enabled to form some estimate of the general state of intelligence and information of the poorer classes in Wales, and of the influence which au im proved education might be expected to produce, on the general condition of society, and its moral and religious progress. You will be furnished with instructions to civil and ecclesiastical authorities, with a view to procure for you their advice and co-operation. And you will be supplied with copies of the printed minutes of the Committee of Council on Education, containing reports and informa tion bearing on the subject of your inquiries. You will report the result of your inquiries to their Lordships, limiting the report, in the first instance, to the facts which you have ascertained. I hare the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, J. P. KAY SHUTTLE WORTH. GARRICK THEATRE.--TO the following communi cation, forwarded by the secretary, we readily give in sertion, trusting that it may have the effect of advancing the benevolent object had in view:—" In consequence of the late fire at the Garrick Theatre, Leman-street, Whitechapel, having thrown the numerous company out of their engagements, it has been determined by the Committee of a Theatrical Fund for the relief of dis tressed and deserving members of the theatrical pro fession, lately established at the east end, 'and entitled the Society of Birds,' held at the W eavers ' A rms Tavern, Baker's-row, itechapel, and now in a very flourishing condition, several leaving members of the profession be'ng members, to devote the receipts of the Society's benefit, :which takes place on Thursday next, the 12th instant, at the Pavilion Theatre, Whiteehapel, towards compensating in some degree for the several losses of the late company, many valuable instruments belonging to the musicians being destroyed, besides the personal properties of the actors. On the above occa sion several amateurs, members of the fund, will give their services. The Committee have already disbursed the sum of 20/. from their reserved fund, for the relief of the burnt-out company. It is also the intention soon to hays another benefit for the same benevolent pur pose, the lessee of the Pavilion, Mr. Richard Thorne, having given the use of the house, and the company their services gratuitously, for the oceasion; and it is to be hoped that other theatres will follow the same laudable example." SALE OF A WIFE AND MURDER OF THE PIM.- CHASER.—A butcher, named Claude Offray, residing at St. Etienne, a man of bad character, and who has al ready been convicted of various crimes, had married a young woman named Francis Foressier, whom he treated with great cruelty, and almost starved to death. Offray having reduced himself to a state of poverty, and knowing no other mode of obtaining money, resolved to put his wife up for sale, and first offered her to a sca venger, of whom he asked 110 francs (41. 10s.), but who would not give more than 100 francs, so that the bar gain was not concluded. He then offered her to one of his neighbours, a man named Jean Marie. This latter agreed to give 150 fr. (61.), and to ratify the sale by an authentic document ; the parties all went before a notary, who, however, refused to have anything to do with them. On receiving this refusal, four wit nesses were procured, and in their presence the sum of 150 francs was paid down. The goods were immedi ately given up to the purchaser by Offray, while the wife, glad to be rid of such a husband, was only too happy at he transaction. Offray, however, soon spent the pro• duce of this sale, and hoping, without doubt, to sell her a second time, wanted his wife back again. The buyer was ready enough to return the purchase, but on con dition that he had his money back.

He had no time to escape from the danger by which he was menaced, for Offrey immediately fired a. gun at him, the contents of which struck Jean Marie in the thigh and right side, completely riddling him with shot. About six the same morning some one entered a caba rat in which Offray was, and told him his rival had been killed.

(From Galignani's Messenger.) ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, PARIS.—SITTING OF Nov. 2. —Most of this day's sitting was oceupied with commu nications on the recent discovery of the mode of ren dering cotton explosive. Our readers are aware that, since the first announcement of this discovery having been made by M. Schonbein, M. Otto, of Brunswick, and at least a dozen other persons, have declared that they have done the same thing, and some of them have even published the process by which they render cotton explosive. The truth is that there is nothing so very wonderful in the mere announcement of the discovery, for it has long been known to chymists that any ve getable matter would acquire explosive properties when treated by nitric acid, and a French chymist long ago announced that, by operating upon starch with nitric acid, he produced a fulminating power of great force. The wonder lay in the perfection to which M. Schonbein was said to have brought his preparation, the secret of which he still keeps to himself as regards the modes operandi. If we are to be lieve the statements that have been made by persons of high respectability, the explosive cotton of M., Schon been is a.perfect substitute for gunpowder, possessing, weight for weight, much more strength than that article, and, at the same time, being free from the many serious objections which attend the manufacture of gunpowder. On the other hand, it does not appear that any of the specimens of other discoverers have given fully satisfactory results ; that is to say, they are by no means of so destructive a property as the cotton of M. Schonbein. Many charges of illiberality have been brought against that gentleman for not making his pro cess known, and endeavouring to make a good specula tion of it for his own interest, under the protection of patents. We do not join in this outcry. If M. Schonbein, who is reported, we know not how truly, to have dis posed of his patent right in E❑gland for 40,0001., could make a million sterling of his different patents, we should not think him too highly rewarded, if it be true that his cotton is so much more powerful than that of his competitors, as his friends represent it to be. The man who invents the most rapid and the most effectual means of destruction, as regards war, is the greatest friend to the interests of humanity. Before gunpowder was invented war was a very favourite pas time of the rulers of nations, for it served to gratify their bad passions without presenting the chances of utter ruin to them. By risking a portion of the money de rived from the labour of their subjects, and sacrificing a few hundred lives, they were able to play at the game of ambition, and, having always the hope of success before them, they had a constant excitement to violence and outrage. Nor did the pastime cease with the invention of gunpowder. The scale on which it was carried on was greater ; but in a few years, when military tactics had been improved, and fire-arms had been made on surer principles, the game became too hot for the gamesters, and they were glad to retreat at length from the struggle of vain glory. The bow and arrow work of the ancients was nothing more than child's play to the fields of Austerlitz and Waterloo, and when once a suspension of hostilities had taken piece, Governments began to reflect that the game was too costly. Thirty years of peace have served to hive birth to better ideas ; but there is every now and then an indication of a desire to involve nations in warfare. We are quite sure, however, that if any man could invent a means of de struction, by which two nations going to war with each other would see large armies destroyed and immense treasure wasted on both sides in a single campaign, they would both hesitate at entering upon another. We re peat, therefore, that in this sense the greatest destructor is the greatest philanthropist ; and, supposing what is said of M. Schonhein's invention to be true, we think that all Governments will, in the event of differences, try all possible means of concession and conciliation before coming to a trial of strength, in which the strong as well as the comparatively weak must be such great losers. We must return, however, from this digression to the question before the Academy. M. Otto, of Brunswick, has stated that he has produced explosive cotton by im mersing it in very pure and strongly concentrated acid for half a minute, and then washing it thoroughly and drying it. This is a very simple process ; but we can assert from experiment that it does not produce a cot ton which could be used as a perfect substitute for gun powder. Explosive it certainly is, but by no means to the extent described in the account of the experiments with the Schonbein cotton. Dr. Knopp, of Leipsic, states that he produces a very powerful article by the following process :—Take equal parts of English sul phuric acid of commerce and strong nitric acid of cons merce ; mix them in a porcelain vessel, and then plunge into the mixture as much cotton as the liquid will cover. Having done this, cover the vessel with a ground glass lid, so as to pre vent all evaporation, or the entrance of air. After having left this preparation in a state of repose for a few minutes, take out the cotton and wash it thoroughly, carefully separating the cotton, and using sufficient water to remove the whole of the acid. The cotton being then pressed and dried in warm air, will be very ener getic. If this cotton be carefully prepared, and tho roughly washed and dried, it will have nearly the same appearance as it had before the operation. With 12 grains of this preparation, says Dr. Knopp, a etlusket, which would for an ordinary charge require 28 grains of gunpowder, sent a ball through two planks, one deal the other of oak, and each two inches in thickness. The distance from the mark at which the gun was fired is not stated, but we presume it was at the ordinary ball range. Dr. Bley, of Bernberg, announces that he has made ex periments with a view of replacing cotton by cheaper substances. He prepared shavings and sawdust in the same manner, and found them equally powerful. After these communications had been read to the Aca demy, M. Pelouze, one of the member., made the follow ing observations. He said—" Although M. Schonbein has not published the nature or mode of preparation of his cotton, it is evident that the properties which he assigns to it can only apply to xyloidine. M. Dumas, as well as myself, made this remark on the origin of the first communications of M. Schonbein. Reasoning on the hypothesis that the'poudre coton is nothing else than xyloidine, I may be permitted to say a few words with respect to its history, and of some of its properties. Xyloidine was discovered in 1833 by M. Braconnet, of Nancy. He prepared it by dissolving starch and some other organic substances in nitric acid, and preci. pitating these solutions in water. In a note inserted in the Comptes rendus de PAcademie des Sciences, in 1838, I showed that the xyloidine resulted from the union o: the elements of the nitric acid with those of starch, and explained, by this composition, the excessive combusti bility of the substance produced. I ascertained—and this I think is a very important result in the history of the applications of xyloidine—that, instead of pre paring it by dissolving the cellulose, it might be ob• tained with infinitely greater facility and economy by simply impregnating with concentrated nitric acid, paper, cotton, and hemp, and that these organic matters thus treated took fire at 180 degrees, and burnt almost without residuum, anti with excessive energy ; but I think if right to add, that I never for an instant had an idea of their use as a substitute for gunpowder. The merit of this application belongs entirely to M. Schonbein. Eight years ago, however, I prepared an inflammable paper by plunging it into concentrated nitric acid. After leaving it there for twenty minutes I washed it in a large quantity of water, and dried it in a gentle heat. I have recently tried this paper in a pistol, and with about three grains pierced a plank two centimetres in thickness (about three-quarters of an inch) at a dis tance of twenty-five metres." After these observations, made by M. Pelouze, M.M. Piobert and Morin addressed the Academy. They stated that several experiments had been made by engineers of the artillery with explosive cotton, and that the result was not satis factory. It was found to leave behind a residuum of charcoal and water, and that it frequently escaped by the touchhole from the cannon without displacing the ball. They added, that cotton prepared with an equal mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid was the most powerful, as it exploded at a temperiture of 75 degrees. Some even exploded spontaneously at 100. The conclusion appears to have been, however, that none of the preparations tried appear to be fit substitutes for gunpowder. We do not place implicit faith in this opinion. Sir Humphrey Davey, the greatest chymist of the day, said it was wild to suppose that coal gas could be used for general light ing ; and another great man, whom we will not name, for he is still living, said, in his younger days, that a man mnst be mad to suppose that steam could be used in Transatlantic navigation. ROYAL THAMES Y i-kuHT CLUB• The monthly meeting of the above club was held on Thursday evening, at the Piazza Hotel ; Lord A. Paget, the Commodore, in the chair. Captain WHEELER, the treasurer, read the financial report, which showed that, from the 30th of July to the 30th of September, the receipts, including the pre vious balance, amounted to 7491. 78. 4d. The expendi ture, including 1201. for cups, 251. to the holder of the challenge cup, and 2881. 10s. for the purchase of 300/. Consols, amounted to 5501. 2s. 9d., leaving a balance of 1991. 4s. 7d.. in addition to the 3001. funded stock. Lord A. PAGET said it was necessary to take into consideration where the future meetings of the club were to take place, as he understood they could not continue to be accommodated on the present terms, and the question would therefore be, whether they would choose to accede to an increased demand, or locate else where ? He must confess that considering they had a small room for their use every day in the year, with lights, coals, &c., that they were not paying a large sum. He would suggest the appointment of a com mittee on the subject. On the motion of Mr. MORGAN, seconded by Mr. BAKER, a committee of seventeen, including the Com modore and Vice-Commodore, ware appointed to report to a special meeting, fixed for the 26th instant. Mr. J. WILKINS called the attention of the club to the provisions of the Act for the Registration of Sea men, as far as it affected yacht-owners, and after some discussion, a resolution was carried for referring the matter to the Sailing Committee, who are specially con vened for the 26th instant.

Glemont Dom POOR RELIEF WORKS. A circular has just been issued by Lieutenant Hotham, of the 75th Regiment, inspecting Officer of Works for the county of Carlow, to the chairmen of relief committees, in order that they should clearly comprehend the duties they are called upon to discharge in the application of the funds to be raised off the counties to carry public works into effect. After pointing out the impractica bility of the public officers being able to correct abuses without the co-operation of the gentlemen in the neigh bourhood, the circular goes on to say— " The subjects which will come before you are of so various, and of such different natures, that it will be hard for me to specify them all to you. But I may mention a few:— " Complaints have been made to me already, that al though numbers of people are anxiously seeking for employment on the roads, farmers and others cannot ob tain labour even at increased prices. " If this should be the case in your neighbourhood, it will require a close investigation. " If the labour which is required is of the ordinary description, and the payment offered sufficiently remu nerative, I think we shall find that the cause of it will be that too many labourers are employed on the works ; or else that those employed are making more money than the farmers can afford to give as wages ; and, de sirable as it is, in the present high price of food, that wages should be increased for the sake of the poor, they can never be increased to such a pitch that the farmer cannot afford to pay them without doing a serious injury to next year's crop, by causing imperfect cultivation of land—thus aggravating for the ensuing year the cala mity we are suffering in this. This is one point which a committee on the spot, able to hear all statements, and acquainted with the wants of the country, is peculiarly qualified to investigate." Complaint is then made of the want of sufficient care in employing the carts of the poorer description of la bourers ; and it is estimated that, as all work is to be done by task, it would he desirable that the poor mall should have the benefit of his children's services when under 14 years of age ; after that age adult tickets are to be issued to the most deserving. The circular then proceeds:— " The overseers of the works are placed in a most re sponsible position, standing as umpires between the Government and the poor; on them I hope the com mittee will direct their attention, supporting them by their influence as long as their conduct is Upright, and reporting them to me if they consider them inefficient. " It is in these and other matters connected with the relief of the destitute that I should wish the commit tees to become, as it were, local courts of investigation as to any alleged grievance or abuse ' and considered by the people as such. By th e or d er o f Government they can have no power of interference with the works, how ever great the abuse; all they can do is to authenticate it, and report it to me; but I am confident, under this system, no abuse can exist very long; moreover, the very knowledge that a power exists enabling committees to examine into and report upon abuses prevents their occurrence, strengthens the hands of the over seers , an d convinces the people of the necessity of conforming to the established regulations. " Overseers, and all others connected with the works, have received orders to give any information the com mittees may require, and, in the earnest hope that our endeavours to carry out this system of relief may be at tended with advantage to all classes in the county, "I have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obe•• dient servant, " A. T. TIOTHAM, "Lieutenant of the 75th Regiment, and Inspecting Officer. "The Chairman of the Relief Committee at -." WHY IS THERE §0 MUCH DIS EASE AMONG US ? Because, in numbers of things, we do just what by our nature we were never intended to do. For example:- Ist, Man is intended to draw in fresh air every time he breathes. Almost all people, when in their houses, and the working-people in their shops, breathe the same air over and over again. To show the necessity of allowing fresh air contin ua lly t o enter li v i ng rooms , an d t h e b a d air to escape, it may be stated that every person, during each minute of his life, destroys a quantity of air twice as large as himself. 2nd, Man ought to breathe pure air every breath. Oar sewers and drains ar e so b a d, t h at t h e vapours and foul gases rise, and we breathe them. 3rd, Man was intended to take exercise in the open air every day. Neither his heart, his stomach and bowels, his liver, his skin, his l ungs , hi s kid neys, nor his brain , will act rightly without walking exercise every - day. Most of us do not get any walk, or only a very short one, which is scarcely of any use. 4th, Man is formed to take simple plain, wholesome food. He eats all sorts of things, which not only do him no good, but do him harm, and he drinks large quanti ties of beer, spirits, and wine, which hurt his stomach, and take away the proper use of his brain. sth, Man ought to wash himself all over with water every day, so as to cleanse the pores of the skin, else they get stopped up; he cannot perspire rightly, and his skin cannot breathe. The majority of the people only wash their hands and faces every day. 6th, Man should wear clean clothes next to his skin, because the body gives off bad fluids.. At present many people wear the same things day after day for weeks to gether. ith, Man was intended to live in the light. Many, very many, have scarcely any light iu their rooms. Bth, Man in thi s c li ma t e mus t wear warm clothing. Many have no flannel, and are clad with heavy and use less things.—Report of the Metropolitan Working Classes' Association. OPENING OF A DAILY EXCHANGE AT NEWCASTLE. —On Friday afternoon, the Exchange on Sandhi'', New castle-upon-Tyne, was formally opened as a place of daily business for the merchants of that port.

The dispute between the military and police at Devon port, of which an account appeared in our columns yes terday, has been followed by criminal proceedings against the man Webber, who was brought before the magistrates on Wednesday, charged with keeping a dis ordrly house and with assaulting and resisting, by causing their detention, two policemen, while in the execution of their duty, On each charge he was fined. making altogether 161. and costs, and in default was com mitted to hard labour to the county House of Correction for four months. In reference to this case, the subjoined letter has been received by the mayor, stating the result of the court of inquiry:— _ _ _ _ " Brigade Office Department, Nov. 3. " SIR-I am directed by the major-general command ing the western district, to acquaint you that a court of inquiry has been held for the purpose of ascertaining the facts connected with the detention, by a military guard, of two police-cfficers of Devonport, on the 30th of October. " The facts elicited by the inquiry only show an error of judgment in that detention, and no desire on the part of the military t o i nter f ere w i t h or oppose th e police in the execution of th e i r d u ty. " The major- genera l, h as , therefore, merely issued an order, of w hi c h a copy i s enc losed, that will prevent any similar mist a k es f rom com pliance with an irregular de mand up on a guard to interfere in a concern of a civil nature. " I h ave th e honour to be, " Your most obedient humble servant, ~ " C. F. MAXWELL, Captain-major of Brigade. To the Worshipful the Mayor of Devonport." The general now states that the military shall not:assist the civil power. except upon the written requisitiion of a magistrate. WorspEuruL FEAT.—A woman verging on seventy four years of age, travelled on Thursday last from Abernethy to Kinross ; where, after her little business was done, and as she was preparing to return home, she entered into an agreement with a cattle dealer to drive some beasts to Perth, he having failed in finding any other person. She executed her task faithfully. The cattle dealer, who had gone in his gig to Perth before her, in the evening went out on the road a little way to meet her ; and had his considerable apprehensions al layed by hearing her " shoo, shoo," at the top of the South Inch.

He remained unobserved, and, on arriving the following morning at the Red Lion Hotel, Worksop, was recognised by the servant accom panying the carriage, and by him and the ostler at the Red Linn was driven off.

No doubt strong efforts will be made by the Bear speculators, who are suffering pretty severely this account, to lower prices ; bat we do not apprehend any material changes for the worse, as the amount of money coming for ward is very large and confidence is good. The negotiation between the Preston and Wyre Company and the Manchester and Leeds, is understood to be at an end. The directors of the latter company hay- ing refused to confirm the bargain made by their representative (sub ject to the approval of the board). Dewaburys, and Huddersfield and Manchesters, end today II p. and 4% p. respectively. It is said that the North-Western Company has agreed to take both lines at 7 per cent., but no official announcement of the terms of the bargain has yet appeared.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Saturday, the marriage of George Charles Constantine, Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, the newly-appointed Governor-General of Canada, with the Lady Mary Louisa Lambton, eldest daughter of the late, and sister of the present Earl of Durham, was solemnised at St. Peter's Church, Eaton square, in the presence of a select circle of the aris tocracy. The bride arrived at the church at a few minutes before twelve o'clock, in company with her uncle, the Earl Grey, by whom she was conducted to the vestry, where a large party had previously assembled, including the Duchess cf Hamilton, the Countess Grey, the Earl of Durham, Lord George Lennox, his Ex cellency Baron Brunnow, Lady Elizabeth Bulteel, and the Misses Bulteel, Lady Caroline Herrington, the Right Hon Charles and Lady Mary Wood, Lady Emily Cavendish, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Grey, lion. Mrs. W Lambton, Hon. and Rev. Francis Grey, Hon. Frederick Bruce,' &c. The bride was attended at the altar by a train of eight bridemaids, viz.:—The Lady Alice Lambton (her Ladyship's sister), the Misses Lambton (2), 'the Misses Bulteel (3), Miss Mary Bar rington, and Miss Cavendish. The Hon. and Rev. John Grey (brother of Earl Grey, anti uncle to the bride), performed the service, the Earl Grey officiating as the father of the bride. At the conclusion of the ,service the parties retired to the Earl Grey's mansion in Belgrave square, where an elegant dejeuner was served in celebra tion of the happy event. Early in the afternoon the bridal pair left town for Coddicute, the seat of Lady Emily Cavendish, in Hertfordshire. The Earl of Elgin, our readers may remember, is a widower, his first wife having died in Jamaica during his Lordship's governor ship of that colony. A daughter is the only issue of that marriage. VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY.— The directors and shareholders in this company held their usual half-yearly meeting on Thursday, at the George and Vultui e Tavern, Lombard-street ; Mr. Barron, president of the com mittee, in the chair. The secretary read the minutes of the proceedings of the last board, and the report of the directors for the present half year, from which it ap peared that the balance now in hand, in Exchequer bills, amounted to 4,500/. ; that the unpaid dividends amounted to 965/. 54. ; that the receipts by tolls for the half year ending October, 1845, were 6,481 l 12s. 4d., while those for the present year were 8,063/. s s , ld., being 1.5811. 12s. 9 d. over the recei▪ pts of October, 1845; that the receipts from the steam-boat pier amounted to 138/. 6s. 6d., from which was to be deducted 92/. Is. 9d. expenses, leaving a profit in favour of the company of 46/.45. 9d. The account current was then r ea d, b y which it appeared that the expendi▪ ture of the company was 11,086/. 16s. 9d., less by balance brought forward from last half-year of 2,647/. 12s. 9d., and the creditor side showed a balance in favour of the company of 3,629/. 10s. 7d., less the above balance. A g oo d d ea l of discussion arose upon the subject of the liability of the company to be rated to sewage rates by the Commis sioners of Sewers. It appeared that the rate had been demanded, and was refused, a distress levied, and notice of appeal served ; but as the trial of th e quest i on would involve an expensive law suit, it w as agree d upon to suspend legal proceedings for the pre sen t, w i t h a - view to an amicable arrangement. It was then agreed upon to pay the directors 200 guineas per annum, after which the meeting broke up. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —Colonel Greenwood states the following application of the electric telegraph: —" On Thursday last I bought a two-year-old colt at Newmarket, and embarked it in the 10-41 up train from Cambridge; but, having some difficulty in persuading him to be of the party, I forgot my portmanteau in the consequent hurry. I mentioned my omission to the guard at Bishop's Stortford ; he gave me a pencil and a sheet out of his memorandum book, on which I wrote, ' A portmanteau, directed —, Cambridge station, to be forwarded to London.' The clerk at Bishop's Stortford said he would telegraph the message, and as sured me that I should receive my luggage by the next train. When I arrived in town, the superintendent has tened with me to the electric telegraph. The question was asked, When will —'s portmanteau be for warded?' The immediate reply was,' By the two o'clock train.' What have Ito pay?' You are a passenger and with a horse?' Yes." There's nothing to pay, sir.' The question and answer conjointly travelled about 120 miles before my young one was disembarked." JUVENILE PREACHER.—During several nights of the past week sermons have been preached in the Town Hall by a boy of only ten years of age. A good many people attended through curiosity to hoar so young a teacher of righteousness, who certainly displayed ac quirements not often attained at his early years. The boy is very smart, and delivers his discourses with wonderful ease and volubility, and if they are his own productions one would be induced to call him a preco cious genius. Be that as it may, he has astonished not a few. The reason given for his thus appearing before the public is, that money may be obtained to further his education.—Kelso Chronicle. PEDESTRIAN FEAT FOR TEN POUND.—Last week the snatch in which O'Connor undertook to pick 100 stones from the. ground, each being laid a yard aprt, in fifty minutes, was performed in Gpenhagen-fields. The stones were deposited in a line, and were fetched sepa rately, the pedestrian making l 0;) starts in the perform ance of his task, and eventually he acc3Dplished his match in forty-seven minutes. In the course of his match he had to travel over 5 miles, 5 furlongs, and 200 yards of ground. THE PAVILION.—Mr. Slight, the clerk to the Commissioners, had an interview with Lord Alfred Hervey in London on Wednesday, and with Captain Pechell, at Castle Goring, yesterday, on the subjrct of the proposPd sale of the Pavilion, and preparatory to a with Lord Morp ; win Co- wh:)le of the facts connected with this property will be submitted to his Lordship's consideration ; and, from what we hear, a sale of the Pavilion, as it now stands, for building par pozes, quo utlio plAce.--/Srighton Herald. liiaimairs ................................................." , SPORTING INTELLIGENCV. ~ NEWMAIIHET COURSING MEETING CONCLUDEI, FRIDAY.
