Address of GENERAL AN I'ONio LOPEZ DE SAN-TA ANNA to'his countrymen upon the subject of the plan proclaimed for the real regeneration of the Republic. (Issued at Vera Cruz, Aug. 16, 1846.) Mexicans,—Called by the people and the garrisons of the departments of Jalisco, Vera Cruz, and Sinatoa, South Mex:c,t, and other points of the Republic, I quitted Havannah on the Bth instant, at nine in the evening, with the solo object of coming to aid you in saving our country from its enemies, internal and ex ternal. Great has been my joy when, on arriving at thi3 point, I learnt that the former had been overthrown by your forces ; and that I was already proclaimed, on all sides, as General-in-Chief of the liberating army. A proof of so much conMenee will be met by me with the ut most loyalty ; but on accepting the plan proclaimed, al low me to enter into some explanations, which I con sider necessary, in order to dispel any suspicions founded on a past, the recollections of which are so painful to me. Desiring, to consolidate peace in the interior of the re public, in order to make it flourish and prls.per, and to insure by that means the integrity of our immense terri tory, I have devoted all my efforts in consequence of the events of 1804, to establish an Administration endowed with vigour and energy, and capable of keeping down the spirit of turbulence and disorder. Without ever going beyond Republican forms, I endeavoured for this purpose to support myself on property, on high posi tions, on cree( s. and even on the few historical memorials existing in the country, hoping thus to moderate by the inertia of Conservative instincts, the vehemence of po pular masses. But without ascendancy and prestige as ' I was, and the elements assembled by me being viewed with distrust, resistance was made on all sides, which I, however, expected to overcome in time. I call God to witness that in this I acted with patriotism, with since rity, and with good faith. After some years of trial I began to remark that the republic did not advance, that some departments showed tendenCies of separation from the others ; and that the public discontent was daily increasing. Wavering then in my convictions, they afterwards lost all their power, when a part of the country had been occupied by strangers, and our national existence of the whole was endangered, I called on the people to the rescue, and they answered me with threats ; as if any other misfor tune could have been preferable to that in which the country then was placed. Urged •by the firm determi nation that we should be a sovereign and independent people, and knowing, on the other hand, the vast re sources on which we could rely for support, I then be came convinced that our Government, being organised in a manner by no means confirmable with the.wishes of the nation, and governed by a secondary Legislature not adapted fir the advancement of its interests, the people revenged themselves in that way by seeking for an oc casion in which they should be called on to take care of their own good, and to organise their Government in the manlier a hick they should consider most proper. In our time we have seen another nation, in a similar conflict, employ similar means to oblige its Government to promise the representaiive system, which it was anxious to have e.itabliihed, and wh .tr that had been ob tained, we have teen its moral apathy changed into heroic enthusiasm, against the foreign invader who en deavoured to subjugate it. Is there anything, therefore, strange in the idea that our people should, in this in stance, do as much to recover the full enjoyment of their sovereignty, acknowledged by all governments, though trodden under foot by all, in the practical administration of affairs ? On this point I owe to my country, in consi deration of the part which I have taken, to declare frankly and honestly, upon this critical and solemn occa sion, that it can be saved only by a return to first princi ple., with entire submission of the minority to the sove reign will of the majority of the nation. Upon proof so clear and peremptory, of the serious difficulty attending that which I had considered best cal , culated to secure to the republic respectability abroad, I found it right to recede, and to yield to public and follow* with the Same 'arils= and constancy with which I had opposed it before comprehending it. Tu dicover the most effective means of raising the spirit of the public, and predisposing it to 'the war, with which we are threatened on the north, was my employment ; and was beginning to develop the measures for that pur pose, when the events of the 6th of 11, comber, IS 14 , oc curred, and plunged the republic into the miserable situ ation in which you now see it. Expatriated from that time for ever from the national territory, with a prohibition to return to it under the hard penalty of death, the obstacle which I was sup posed to present to the establishinent of an administra tive system, confcreaable with public exigencies, being removed, I believed that the men who had succeeded in placing themselves in my stead, by calling public opinion to their aid in effecting it, would respect that opinion, and summon the nation to organise its government ac cording to its own wishes. Pained, a 3 I was, not to be allowed to take part in the real regeneration of the country, I still most sincerely desired it, because I be lieved that, whilst our political horizon was daily beccm ing darker, no other means were left to save us. My prayers for this were redoubled on seeing that, in consequence of the development of the invasive policy of the United State;. stimulated by the perfidy of the Cabinet of General Herrera on the serious question of our northern frontiers, the European press began to in dicate the necessity of a foreign intervention in our domestic concerns, in order to preserve us from the am bitious projects of the neighbouring republic. That, however, which raised my uneasiness to the greatest height, was to see in a newspaper of credit and influ ence, published in the Old World, a proposition made in October last, to bring us back by , force under the yoke of our ancient masters. My conviction was, never theless, still strong, that no Mexican, however weak might be his feeling of attachment for his country, would n a el‘ r n e rde t a o tnh fweamhv Meanwhile, t u e, tn s h u eew c such s considerationideas reached openly,me e h . project e d ofo ever s r ; for by General P a red es , w hi ch revived m though he had b een th e determined enemyy o f e a a tnidle resolution still op le to recom. l ss e presentative popular government,l supposed that hey hared altered his opinions, and I honoured himso far as to believe him incapable of advancing schemes for European inter vention, in the interior administration of the republic. He succeeded, and his manifesto declaring his adhesion to the plan proposed by the troops quartered at San Luis Potosi, increased my uneasiness, because I clearly saw in it a diatribe against the independence of the nation, rather than the patriotic address of a Mexican General, seeking, in good faith, to remedy the evils of his country. His perverse designs were in fine fully revealed, as well as by his summons (for the assemblage of a Congress) of the 24th of last January, issued in consequence of this revolution, as by the newspapers showing the ten dency of his administration to the establishment of a monarchy under a foreign prince, in the republic. As one of the principal chiefs of the independence of our country, and founder of the republican system, I was then indignant at this endeavour of some of its sons to deliver the nation up to the scoffs of the world, and to carry it back to the ominous days of the conquest. I thereupon took the firm determination to come and aid you to save our country from such a stain, and to avoid the horrible consequences of a measure by which its glorious destiny was to be reversed, carrying it back to what it was, and to what it never should be again. To execute this determination was to offer up my blood to any one, in case of failure, who mi g ht c h oose t o s h e d i t, in compliance with the terms of the barbarous decree which drove me from the republic ; but I preferred to perish in this noble attempt, miler than appear indiffe rent to the ignominy of my country, and see the countless sacrifices made for our independence, and the right to govern ourselves rendered illusory. Mexicans, the real objects of those who, while invoking order and tranquillity, have constantly endeavoured to prevent the nation from organising its Government as it chose, have now been laid open; and the time is come when all true republicans of all partics, the body of the pebple as well as the army, should unite their efforts sincerely, in order to secure entirely the independence of our country, and to piece it at liberty to adopt the form of Government most suitable to its wishes, each sacrificing his own individual convictions to the will of the majority. How, indeed, can the micro icy, however wise and opulent, and powerful they may bra, pretend to assume to themselves the right to regulate the affairs of the community, or to govern the majority, without an express delegation from the latter, given of their own accord, not presumed, nor still less extorted by force? This may be among people who are ignorant of their own rights, and where the want of the means of inde pendent subsistence subjects the many to the few, who have monopolised everything ; but it is not to be effected among us, in whom the democratic spirit in the midst of hirty many fav oura b le circumstances, has been developing - six Year s and now renders imperious and itself d for ecisi t ve, the necessity concentrating by practice the political axiom of the sovereignty of the nation. This most essential circumstance has been disregarded and despised in all constitutions hitherto given to the . country; and in the only one which hen appeared most popu ered it the neffentagonism of the p r i nc i p l es adopted has rend iective ; so that democracy, which alone can serve as a solid basis for our social edifice, has been unable to develop itself, and thus to afford the peace which is its instinctive law, and the other benefits in effable, which it produces. Hence the convulsions which have so long .agitated us, and of whi c h some European writers have taken advantage, so far as to depreciate opposing i ; " our race ; si m ng ani t re b s e tin l g ibe t r hep t in necessityf inter fei eice, order o liberty independence of the republic and inde to strengths n it against th e f e b r i le in vesion l of the United States ; an d declaring, in fi ne , that it would be as easy to conquer Mexico with a por tion of the troops now quartered in the island of Cuba, as it was in the time of the native Mexican princes. My bloo I boils on seeing the contempt with which w e o either do not know us are tins treated, by men wh well, or who, interested in transplanting among us the fruits of their old social system, and of the . times in . .ich they ori g in a t e d, consider America the same 'tate in which it was during the sixteenth century. Should any attempt be made, as indicated, to carry t iese mad plans into eff e ct, all interests of race would ould then be be silenced, and b u t o ne vo i ce w ould be heard through out - the Celt:tient. The one hemisphere w • seen arrayed again s t th e othei,nd for the disasters which would fall on the rash agresser who should thus atte.npt to interfere with the internal administration of other nations, ha alone would be responsible. To pronounce thus against the many nations which form the great Ilispano American family, to declare them incapable of enjoying republican institutions, is, in fact, to be ignorant of, or not to conceal, what is proved by the testimony of Chili, New Granada, and Venezuela, in contradiction of sueli assertions. It is to attribute, no doubt with evil intentions, to men of a certain race, defects of adminktrative forms which, not being entirely democratic, have produced the bitter fruits of monarchical forms engrafted on them, without adverting to the fatal influence of the latter on the lot of the others. To expect, moreover, to strengthen the nation by •monarchy, under a foreign prince, •is to_suppose the ex istence in it of elements for the ..t0,i;ebn,„—.....,1 ven :tnce of that system ; or that, wearied by its struggle to c „,:uer its I:berty, the ration sighs for European masters, for anything else than the peace which alore it wants. Et:Toncous , most erroneous is this idea. In the efforts of tiict nation to emancipate itself from the power of the few. who, in good or bad faith, have en deavoured to rule it in their own way, its democratic ten dencies have acquired such a degree of intensity and energy that to expose them, to attempt to destroy the hopes to which they give birth, by a project such as that advanced, would be to provoke a desperate measure ; to endeavour to cure an evil by the means calculated to ex asperate it. Fascinated by the example of a nation not yet a century old, and which under its OA n government has attained a degree of prosperity and advantages so enjoyed:by those of the old world notwithstanding their antiquity, and the slow progress of their political sys tems, our republic aspires only to the management of its own affairs, either by itself or through representatives in whom it has confidence, in order to develop the vast resources of power and wealth in its bosom. This being therefore its dominant, its absorbing idea, it would have resisted the other plan with all its might ; and if an attempt had been made to change its direction by the employment of foreign bayonets, it would have flown to arms, and war would have burst forth through out its immense territory, renewing even more disas trously the bloody scenes of 1820, and the succeeding years. From such a state of things, the Anglo-Ameri can race would have derived great advantage for the progress of its ambitious scheme, or for forming a new republic from our interior departments, by exciting their sympathies and gratitude for the services recdered them in repelling a project no less injurious to itself. This tendency, which has been excited in some departments by disappointment from not obtaining provincial liber ties, which they dezired, would have become general throughout all ; and no force would have been able to restrain them from carrying such views into effect. On the other hand, the republic being composed for the most part of young men, who have no knowledge of the past, except from the sinister accounts of their fathers, and who, educated with republican ideas, rely wifi confidence on a Government eminently popular to lead their country to prosperity and greatness—where are the internal supports on which the monarchy pre sented as the means of our salvation can be founded ? That which was has disappeared. Habits of passive obe dience no longer exist ; and if there remains a sentiment of religion, time has undermined the political power of the directors of consciences. An influential aristocracy, so necessary for the permanence of monarchies such as exist in old Europe, the only proper place for institu tions of that clas=-, is not to be found, nor can it ever be organised here. In Europe, the misery of the great mass of the overloaded population, which depends on its own labour to obtain what is strictly and merely necessary for its subsistence, in the midst of an industry which is so severe'y tasked, allows no time to the people to think of their po altylltlricatahnlen tyranny landedi o g f h t t h s, e p n pr o ao r tprei m er it e ay a n n bf s ae im t n o igl i f e r isn e , e ot rithi which m h dependnytedhsse.yfrßomu t t n h o e , such ha whic which t a a l t i e It gs i va tceadn, virgin, sound rgin r theichi,naiid fruitful, republ republic ,• in is of un t c h u in greatestoffer ing'e t ha t t c o au m f a a l c n ei a , id t i y n o t a h l t e l h thataut tm i n o hd s e t i y ic a da b un u a n l ads independence d c fez p , r a nh n di d se ni : w eb iot whichuh r, all favours the development of democratic instincts. These difficulties being, therefore, of such a nature as to render nearly impossibl e th e es t a bl is h men t o f monar chy in our country, attempts have been made, in order to overcome them, to throw the affairs of the republic into the greatest disorder, preventing the organisation of its Government within, and aggravating the most serious question of our northern frontiers with another nation. In this manner the faction which fostered that para. cidal project having attained the fi:st of its ends,by many years of artifices and manceuvering, next proposed to carry the second into effect, by provokinz, in a manner almost direct, the Goveri•ment of the United States to ag;randise itself by taking OM' rich department of I eras, and then advancing into the very heart.of our country. To involve our people in the evils of a fearful invasion has been the last resource, in order to force them to accept its painful altereative ; obliging them to become the prey of Anglo• American ambition, or t) fly, for the safety of their national existence, to monarchi cal forms under a European Prince. For this o' j: ct it was that this party, having t'.e con.. trol of the Chambers of 1844 ' 45, refused to the Govern• merit of that period the appropriations which it asked for maintaining the integrity .pf the national territory, already seriously jeopardised,- It did tnore,, it raised up a revolution, in which the slender allowance made to the Government for that object, on its urgent demands, were unblushingly declared to be suppressed ; and on its triumph, it scattered the means collected for the war, and hastened to recognise the independen ce o f T exas .' Th e chief of this revolution, who has always acted under the influence of his own fatal inspirations, then appeared again in insurrection at San Luis Potosi, with the force destined fur the defence of the frond( r ; and withdraw. ing that force to the capital of the republic, he there slurped the supreme power, and began to put in opera tion his; scheme of European intervention in our interior administration, whilst the hosts of Anglo-Americans were advancing to take possession, even of the banks of the Rio Bravo. Having at his disposal considerable forces in the capital and the adjoining departments, he allowed the enemy time to advance, without resistance, through our territory, and at length—mt. V, tardily—he sent to Matamoras a small body of troops, needy and unprovided with an ythi ng necessary for conducting the campaign with .suceess. Who can fail to see, in these perfidious manceuvres, the bastard desigr.s of attracting these forces of the enemy tozi our central territories, in order there to propose to us, in the midst of the conflicts of war, as the oily means of safety, the subjection of the republic to servitude, the ignominy of the country, the revival of the plan f Iguain—in fine, to return to the government of the viceroys. With this object, and for this fatal moment, which. every means was employed to hasten, was a Congress assembled, chosen, for the purpose, composed only of representatives of certain determined classes, forming even a sixth 'of our population, and elected in aonanner, pet fidiously arranged, to secure a number of voices suf ficient to place the seal of opprohrium on the nation. Leaving with scarcely a single 'representative the great majority of the nation, the eleven bishops of our dio ceses were declared deputies, and our ecclesiastical ca- I•ilios were authorised to elect nine others on their parts, giving to thubishopsithe faculty of appointing such proxies as they might choose, to take their places in case they should not find it convenient to attend in person. Does not this prove abundantly that a decided endeavour was made to supplant the will of the nation, in order to give somei t T e rhveespecies of auth or i ty to th i s sc h eme f or E uropean n p t r i o o t n es i t n at t i h on e s se o tt f le r m ep e u n b t i o jel f a int s e e r n n t a im l affairs? General Par e d es , a f ter these irretragable proof.; sents, aodfeulblyy t c o o n d tranquilliseenanin him,th were republic,e lnteowteateittssofperfidy suspicions a inte t n r d es e t d , and to arrange the occasion for carrying into effect his base designs, lie uttered these protestations in the middle of March last, when he saw the public discontent manifest itself against his power and plans. But what followed? Did he not continue to protect the Tiempo, a newspaper established in the capital-itself, for the sole object of rendering republican forms odious, and recommending the necessity of a monarchy; advancing every argument which could be supposed calculated to lead astray the good senses of the nation? Did he con vene another popular Congress? Did he retract ;the summons which he issued in January, placing the fate of the nation at the mercy of the few men who remain among us of the old regime ? Everything continued in the same way, and when the press was prohibited from discussing forms of Government, it was in order to give an amnesty to the writers in favour of monarchy, who were then prosecutedby the judici a l p ower , and to en courage them to continue their criminal publications while silence was imposed on the defenders of the re publican system. Meanwhile he hastened by every means in his power the assemblage of the "Congress destined to carry into effect his monarchical plan; he con centrated his forces in order to suppress all movements on the part of the people, alarmed by the near approach of such au unpropituous event; abandoning our frontier to the invaders, or rather surrendering them to the foreign enemy, by the reverses which he had prepared and arranged at Pala Alto and Resaca de In Patina. No, Mexicans! let there be no compromises with a party a hose conduct has been a ti,sue of cruel treachery towards our country ; have nothing to do with it, how ever flattering be its promises, and whatsoever the forms with which it may in future invest itself. In the last convulsions of its agony, it sought to assure its safety by its accustomed mancea:res. It proclaimed principles which it deteste l d. It allied itself with bastard republicans, and exhibited itself as the friend of liberty, in order, by that means, to avoid its just punishment, to maintain itself in power, and to continue to determine the edifice cemented by the illustrious blood of the Hidalgos and Morelos. The fraudulent schcasz.s of the enemies of our country being thus unfolded, and the true source of its mis f•irtunes being laid open to all, the radical remedy of the whole evil consists in putting an end for ever to the ruinous 'control of minorities, by calling on the nation honestly to fix its own destiny, and to secure its terri tory, its honour, and its welfare. Thus placed in entire liberty to act, as it should be, in the midst of the discussions carried on by the press, in the tribune, and mu in the streets and squares, it will take into consideration the evils which surround it, and seek the means of resisting them; and satisfied in its desired mi tras of its own tate, it will di s pl a y th e energy pecu li ar to a free people, will prove equal to the conflicts in which it is to be engaged, and will come out of them, not only honourably, but, moreover, entirely regenerated. In this way the administration established, resting or, and springing from public opinion, may display all its or ganised forces to maintain its territory, instead of quar tering them in the central towns, as hitherto, under a Government created by seditious m. , vements, constantly at war with the nation, and occupied solely in endea vouring to save itself, without regard for our external dangers. Fellow countrymen, never has the situation of the re public been so difficult as at present. Its national existence threatened on one side, en the other an attempt has been made to subject it to the hardest of all lots, to European dominion. Such is tho abyss to which we have been brought by the endeavour to govern our young society ac cording to the system adopted in the old. This is the true cause of the long struggle in which we have been engaged which has weakened our forces, and by which the inte rests of the majority have been sacrificed t , ) the extra vagant pretensions of a small minority. This state of things must be ended, in compliance with the wishes of the nation ; and, by opposing to the former the union of republicans of true faith, the concert of the army and the people. By this union we shall conquer the independ ence of our country; thus united, we shall ccirilirm it by establishing peace on the solid basis of public liberty ; thus united, we shall preserve the integrity of our im mense territory. But now, with regard to • thl. plan proposed for the revo . u . ion, it is my honour and my duty to observe, a L. St'N, LONDON, SATURI)A V MORVING, OCTOBER 10, 1846. to the organisation of the :.;yst( m of government, and .he determiutti a of what relates to the serious question of our northern fro itiers, the Previsional Government of the nation would find itself required. til the system has bs. n thus organised, to use its own discretion on other points. This would be invest ing the Provisional Governmtnt with a dictatorship, always odious, however imperious might be the cir cumstances rendering it necessary. I, therefore, pro pose, that the said assembly should come fully autho rised to determine with regard to all branches of the pnb.ic administration, which may be of general interest, and within the attributes of the legislative power ; the provisional executive of the nation acting with entire submission to it: determination. I consider it, moreover, indispensable that a uniform role be established for the regulation of the interior affairs of the departments ; and that for this purpose the Constitution of the year 1824 be adopted until the new Constitutional Code be completed. By this means we shall avoid that divergency of opinions, at this cri tical moment, when uniformity is so much needed ; Cie national will which sanctioned that code will have been consulted, and the executive of the nation will have a guide to follow, so far as the present eccentric position of the republic will allow. I submit both mea sures to the will of the departmenis, expressed by the authori:ies, who may be established in consequence of the revolution; proposing, moreover, that the Provisional Government of the nation should adopt forthwith the second, as the rule of its conduct, until it be determined otherwise by the majority of the departments, in the form already indicated. The slave of public opinion myself, I shall act in accordance with it, seeking for it henceforth in the manner In which it may be known and expressed, and subjecting myself afterwards entirely to the decisions of the c instituent assembly, the organ of the sovereign will of the nation. Mexicans ! there was once a day, and my heart dilates wi.h the r. membrance, wher,, leading on the popular masses and the army to demand the rights of the nation, you saluted me with the enviable title of soldier of the people. Allow me again to take it, never more to be given up, and to devote myself until death to the defence of the liberty and independence of the Republic. ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. Heroic Vera Cruz, Aug 16, 1846. IRELAND. STATE OF THE PROVINCES. DUBLIN, OCT. 7.—A letter dated Tuatn, October 5, in the Freeman's Journal, gives an alarming account of the state to which the population o" that town and neigh bourhood is at present reduced:— "I am sorry - to inform you that this town, I may say, is in open rebellion—taking away cattle in the open day in spite of the police and, townspeople. There was one heifer belonging to William Sinnott taken yesterday on the top of the hill of Tullynadally road, in spite of the drivers. The animal was killed awl carried off, and nothing left but the hide and part of the fat. Other cattle were stopped this day. The people cannot help this outbreak, for if they even had money they cannot get bread, as the Galway people are not letting any of it come to us. Mrs. Davis, of Claremorris, was severely injured coming from Galway with flour. The people are watching the batches of bread coming out of the ovens, and almost killing each other fur it. Mr. Blake's mill was kept going all day yesterday (Sunday) dressing and grinding whole flour, and they were divid ing it up to two o'clock this morning, so you may judge how the town is. Dragoons are expected here every moment." A writer in the Waterfw d Chronicle furnishes the subjoined sketch of affairs at Dungarvati DUNGARVAN, OCT. s.—lt is impossible for the most sagacious to calculate where the present state of thiegs will end. The people are starving ; hundreds are living upon a meal of cabbage and salt in 24 hours. They want employment, and a rate of wages which bill support themselves and their families. 101. a day is offered them, and it is refused ; for that sum would, according to the present price of Indian meal—the cheapest de scription of food—be perfee ly inadequate to support more than one man. And I ask, in the name of God, are the wife and children of the wretched labourer to starve ? Soul harrowing as it is to think of it, there is no other alternative for them, if the Board of Works give only 103. a ets The stubborn adherence to the "Treasury minute' appended to the Labour Act, in-not giving snore than this unfor -tanate--10d.a thy, is already producing; its tifeets upon the country, particularly in the rural. districts in the west of this country.. Great holies of the peasantry are niginly patrolling the county, making visits to the houses of the several farmers, for the purpose of inti midating them into refunding the rents paid for conacre land this year ; alleging, that as the potatoes failed, no value was had, antr, consequently, farmers should refund the rents. Already several of the inti midators have been arrested—to the number, I believe, of twenty-four. The military are out every night in search. There is a force new in this town, including police, drago ons , an d cava l ry, of about seven hundred —a considerable reinforcement is hourly expected. A rumour that about 8,000 armed peasantry were en camped at Ballinamult, a distance of nine miles to the west of llungarvan, was afloat here to-day; in conse quence of which, I have learned, that a force of some thing near five hundred, consisting of dragoons, infan try, police, &c., under General Sir Charles O'Donnell, accompanied by P. C. Howley, Royal Marius, left town this morning at eleven o'clock, and marched towards the place of the rumoured encampment of the peasantry. I trust that no collision will take place. Sad would, in deed, be the result if there should.' The accounts from Tipperary arc extremely unfavour able. Agrarian outrages, of the old stamp, are daily increasing, destitution lending fresh vigour to the Rockite organisation. THE ARMY. The Queen's Bays, in the Royal Barracks, have re ceived the route for Newbridge. Three troops oldie 7th Hussars arrived at the North wall from Liverpool, and on disembarking from the steamers proceeded on their route to Athlone, which will be the head•quarters of the regiment. THE CONFLICT AT CASTLECONNELL. The Nenagh papers of yesterday give the correct version of the circumstances which led to the loss of life at Castleconnell on Sunday last. The military were, it seems, the leading transgressors ; indeed, nothing could be more disgraceful, or subversive of discipline, than the conduct of the draught of the 88th Regiment. The Tipperwy Vindicator's account is as follows : " B. draught of the 88th Regiment of Foot (the Con naught Rangers), en route to Cork to join bead-quarters at present stationed at Malta, passed through Nenagh on Friday, and appeared rather excited in consequence of drink. They attempted to create a row with the police after nightfall, but they did not succeed, owing in a great measure to the forbearance of the police. On Saturday they marched for Castleconnell, where they arrived that day; and on Sunday n'ght after, we understand, giving annoyance to the police stationed there during the d ty, in which they were joined by some of the idle scamps of the place, they proceeded to attack the police barracks, breaking in the windows both in front and rear, when, we regret to say, the police fired, and the consequence was that a poor man who was passing from a chandler's v candles, and the father of a family of seven shildren, was shot dead ; a soldier was Ms) severely wounded, the ball having passed through the latter, who is yet dangerously ill, and hit the former, who died almost immediately. The utmost confusion and excitement prevailed during the night, and throughout Monday, so much so that two pieces of artillery and a large number of soldiers were ordered to the spot from Limerick. An inquest was held before Mr. Bennet, the coroner, when a verdict according to the facts was returaed. It is to be re marked that the soldiers appeared to be under very loose discipline. Their conduct during the short time they re mained in Nenagh was by no means calculated to insp're one with a notion of thatsoldierly demeanour wl i 1 should be observed by the army on all occasiats. They seemed particularly obnoxious to the police, and did what lay in their power to annoy and irri;ate them. We should wish to see the police, too, under that strict control which would prev e nt their use of fire-arms in the deadly man ner they used them on Sunday night; and, while we say so, we are bound to add that pi ace and order would have prevailed, if the 88th were bm•tter conducted and under proper rules ; as it is, an unofr nding victim has fallen, and serious injury has ben inflicted on more than one of the soldiery." Accordii:ig to the IVenagh Guar . , Earl, the conduct of the military was even more disgraceful than is represented in the foregoing account. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. It is reported to-day that the coast guard and revenue police establishments are to be amalgamated and an p d lac th ed e under one authority. It is inte n d ed to make the coast guard a purely naval service —all civilians are to be inspector-generals upe rs ede d b li e u b t e y n a a n t pest 0 i s n t e t a h p e t a l i ? n o — y a t h l e Navy, civilians, in chiding the inspector-general, to retire on pensions, and the service altogether deprived of its civil character. DEER STALKING. The first week of October generally ends the regular sport of the deer- sealker. A few of the oldest stags will yet be selected, while they roam through the forest, bel lowing and shoueng defiance to the younger stags of the herds. The following notes from the corries are mostly the returns of the last fortnight :----At Torridon, W. 0. Jackson, Esq., stalked four red deer, killi ng two the rifle. In his of the number, both stags, with right end left shots. At Dundreggan, R.

We hear that the Marquis of Abercorn, has had excellent s p ort th i s sea son in the forest, having killed some very fine stags, all in capital condition. Cluny Macpherson shot one of the largest stags that has been seen this year on his Aberar c?®r grounds, weighing, as h e fell, 24 stones and 3 lbs. At Conon, Capt. B.

CHANTILLY RACES. __ _ F t I p in e g et th to e oI R ) that of May, a large attendance of sporting characters, anti ms very R n Y i Oh inferior3..N i n o ttelri every t a r n e d s of persons taking an interest in horse racing, was repeat e d on this occasion, on account of the ope n i ng o f t h e N or th ern O Railway having facilitated the means of re ac hi ng an d re turning from Chantilly. Unfortunately, from an early hour in the morning the sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and at intervals rain fell rather heavily. Nevertheless, there was a very fair attendance of the members of the Jockey Club, and other distinguished patrons of sport. Among them we observed M. le Comte de Pontalbe, M. de Norman die, M. C. Laffitte, M. la Comte de Cambis, M. de Baron A. de Rothschild, M. le Baron de Rochette, M. le Baron de Pierre, M. le Comte Cornelissen, M. Lupin, M. Fould, and M. Fasquel. M. Charles Laflitte officiated as commissaire and judge, and M. de Normandie, assisted by Corringliam, started the horses. The Marquis of Normanby . was present, with a party of ladies, and occupied a place in one of the tribunes. . The races are under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours. It was fully expected that his Royal Highness would have honoured the course with his presence, but to the great disappointment of every one a message ar rived in the course of the morning to say that he could not attend. _ At two o'clock exactly the weighing of the jockeys com menced, and immediately after the races took place' in the following order. The weather held up well until their close. Criterion Stakes of the first class, for two year old colts bred in France. 1,000 francs given by the Duke de Nemours. Entrance, 100 francs; each colt to pay two napoleons to the racing-fund. Weight 54 kilogrammes. Distance about 815 metres. Eight colts entered; four ran, viz : Baron N. de Rothschild's b c Gland (Flatman) 1 M. Aumont's b c Morok Comte d'Hddouville's b c Dividende Baron de Pierre's b c Stop Gland took the lead and kept it, winning easily. Stop was awfully behind Criterion Stakes of the second class, for two year old fillies bred in France. 1,000 francs given by the town of Chan tilly. Entrance, 100 francs. Each filly to pay two napo leons to the racing-fund. Weight 53 kilogrammes. Dis tance about 815 metres. Four subscribers; two ran. Baron de Rothschild's b f Laura (Flatman) 1 Comte de Cambis's b f Girandole The Constable's Stakes of 500 francs, given by the town. 250 francs entrance. Distance one and a half round, about 2,940 metres, starting from the stables. Weight, three yrs, 48 kilogrammes; four yrs,_ 57 kilogrammes; five and up wards, 60 kilogram mes . The winner to be sold for 1,000 francs with his engagements. Baron de Rothschild's 3 yrs b f Convalescence (Flatman) 1 Baron de Pierre's b c Charlemagne 2 The Omniurn.— 4,000 f. given by the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, for horses of all ages; distance about 2,400 metres; the winner to pay 15 naps to the Racing Fund; weights according to age; the winner of a 2,000 f. stake to carry 2 kilos additional ; the winner of two such stakes, 3i kilos additional. Twenty horses were first entered, but twelve declined to accept the weight. Of the remaining eight the following only started : Prince de Beauvau's 3 yrs b f Dorade, 50-i kilos (Chifney) 1 Baron de Rothschild's 6 yrs ch c Drummer, 63 kilos M. de Pontalba's 2 yrs b f Tronquette. 40 kilos M. A. Fould's 3 yrs b f Mariquita, 45 kilos • 0 M. Guichard's 6 yrs b m Catin, 324 kilos The betting in the yard was 2 to lon Dorado. The race was a very good one. They all got well off at the start, Tronquette taking the lead. They kept together exceedingly well, until they arrived at the stables, when tailing began. At the hill it was all up with Mariquita and Catin. The latter was far . behind, and every minute left it still further. On turning the 'corner, Dorado, Drummer, and Tronquette struggled pretty stoutly. Drummer at one time took the lead, but Dorade, who laid well to her work all through, and seemed determined to win, gave him the go-by, and kept ahead until she passed the winning-post, distancing Drummer by about a length and a half. Tron vette was about a length and a half behind Drummer. Mariquita came in shortly after, and at a long interval Catin hobbled up. Dorade's triumph seemed to afford general satisfaction. SECOND DAY, SUNDAY, OCT. 4.—To• day the weather was everything that could be desired, the sun shining gloriously, and the sky being undimmed' by a single cloud. This circumstance, in conjunction, perhaps, with the interest felt to witness the running of the St. Luger, attracted a much larger attendance of the beau monde than on the previous day. His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours was on the. course some time previous to the commencement of the day's business. A stand - had been specially prepared for the Prince and his party, and his Royal Highness seemed to feel much interest in witnessing the racing. In the intervals be tween the Cifferent races the Duke descended into the yard, where he entered into conversation with many persons, and among others with the British Ambassador. We observed on the ground the Marquis of Normanby and a party of ladies, Lord Exmouth, M. le Comte de Pontalba, M. le Baron de la Rochette, M. de Normandie, M. Charles Laffitte, M. le Comte de Cambis, and many other eminent sporting and distinguished characters. M. Charles Laffitte again officiated as judge, and M. de Normandie started the horses. A few minutes after two o'clock the races commenced, and went •"l in the following order:— The Como de Paris' Stakes of 3,000 E, given by his Royal Highness the Prince Royal for two-yrs old colts, and fillies bred in France. Entrance 300 f., hf. The owner to pay 10 naps to the racing fund. Weight, colts 54 kilos ; fillies, 53 kilos. Distance about 800 metres. (11 Subs.)

Tronquette ran ex ceedingly well, and won easily by a length and a half or two lengths. Stop was greatly behiudhand. The race altogether was a pretty one. In betting Tronquette had been backed against the field; and we heard that her owner, the Count de Pontalba, had backed her to the amount cf 1,000 naps. The Consolation Stakes.-I,ooof. given by the Racing Fund. Entrance 200 f, for horses, mares, and geldings bred in France which have never won. Weight, three yrs. 494 kilos; four, 55 kilos; five and upwards, 57 kilos. The mares and geldings to carry 14 kilos less. The win ner to be sold for 2,000 f, without his engagements. If the wi.mer of the Constable's Stakes should be engaged, his entry will be repaid. Entry, 2 naps to the racing fund. Distance once round, about 1,960 metres. Three heats. (3 Subs.) Baron N. Rothschild's b c, 3 yrs, Ulm Comte de Cambis's b f Sans Tache 2 In the first heat Sans Tache started oft with the lead, and kept it up to the corner beyond the stables; Ulm then began to push forward, but Sans Tache contrived to maintain the lead up the hid, and saved the corner coming home. At that point, however, Ulm began to show pluck, and came down to the winning-post in good style, with about half a head in advance of Sans Tactic. Sans Tache went admirably. and the heat was a spirited one, though not so quickly run as it might have been. In the second heat Sans niche again took! the lead in the hill. , Chu then gained ground, and they came together round the corner. After keeping quite c'ose for some little distance, Ulm got first, whereupon the jokey of Sans Tachg used the - whip freely, and improved I:er pace. 111 M, however, got a neck in advance, and kept it until the winning po:t was passed, notwithstanding S ans T ac h e tr i e d h ard to ofit strip him. The Haras Royaux Stakes of the Third Class, 4,000 franc.", for four yes old horses and mares, thorough- Lred, whose genealogy is traced in the French stud-book. Entrance 400 francs.

Comete first took the lead, Meudon was second, Philip Shah third. From thence to the hill all laid so close together that it was difficult to dis tinguish one from the other. At the corner Souvenir was driven out, but instead of this acting as a disadvantage, it caused it to push forward and get the lead. At the same time Dorade got in front, and in soming down home, got a little in advance of Souvenir. Arrived near the winning post Souvenir's jockey pulled in violently, so as to let Dorade win, which she did by about a nec k. , Had Souvenir's jockey not done this, he would certainly have gained the victory. Both Dorade and Souvenir belonging to the same person, the object of the - latter in letting Dorade win was to save Souvenir's entry. The race was a very flue one. All `the horses were Su close together at the winning post, that it was impossible to say positively which was third and which fourth. Some accounts say that Le Chourineur was third, others Miss Waggs. The result of this race sadly disconcerted the knowing ones. Meudon had been the first favourite, Miss Waggs the second, Philip Shah the third. There was little, in fact no betting among the members of the Jockey Club, , but other people freely backed Meudon 2 to 1, and 7 to 4 against the field. Miss Waggs was also warmly supported. - FOOT RACE FOR X 220. This match, between Sherdon and Manks, came off on Tuesday, on a piece of road contiguous to Doncaster. Sher don, who is a cutler, matched himself against Minks, knoWn in the sporting world as the Warwickshire Antelope. One false start took place, but at the second bidding they both went away well' together at a tremendous pace, which was kept up for the first quarter of a mile, when Manks began to show strong symptoms that he was no match for his oppo nent; and at about half the distance to be accomplished, he was completely ,run off his legs.

FLANDERS MAIL BRUSSELS, Oc:r. 5.—A letter from Ostend of the 4th of October says ;he English steamer the Garland, Cap tain Sunned, which came to Ostend on the 19;1 Sept. expressly to wait for the India Mail, received on the 2nd of October orders from its Government to r:turn England. The Garland had scarcely kfr, our port en Friday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon—wss;hardly out of sight, when the India Mail arrived by the railway. It was immediately sent on board the Princess Alice steamer, Captain Scriven, and forthwith proceeded. to, Dover with all expedition. For the first time the dis • patchs from India, that is to say those of the Goiern meat and of the merchants, have reached England- by, ,the way of Btlgium, passing through Germany for Ostend. • Yesterday morning, a little before high mass, in the Church of St. Jacques, Mr. Caudenburg, a man of lofty stature, with his hair falling below his shoulders, a red beard, which fell over his breast, and dressed in a red blouse, having in his hand a large white hat, and a cane, representing a crucifix, with a grave and ' solemn step entered the building, and advanced to the foot of the high altar. The beadle pursued him, and endeavoured to stop him, but , was, vio• lently pushed aside. A vicar then addressing him, sought, with great mildness, to induce him to retire, but he immediately fell into a passion, declaring that he was God, and threatened the crowd who had gathered round him in order to remove him. With great difficulty, he was carried out of the church, when the police took this unfortunate madman and conveyed him to the Amigo. It is said that this man spoke several languages, alter nately German, Italian, Spanish, and French. A letter from Konigsburgh, of the 26th of September, has the following article :—" It may be remembered that, some time ago, Mr. Talkson, a young Jewish physician of our city, who was going to marry a Christian, could not obtain permission from the Government to consent to their union. Mr. 'Talkson has just had his marriage 'solemnised at Trinity Church, Hull, and having returned to our city, required that the certificate of his marriage should be inserted in the registers, a formality which - the law de• mends from all Prussians who marry in foreign coun tries. He was informed, in reply, that this insertion could not be made, because marriages between Jews and Christians were not recognised in Prussia, that they did not possess a legal character, and that the children of such marriages were considered as illegitimate. Mr. Talkson has addressed a remonstrance on the subject to the Government. LEMBERG, SEPT. 18.—We learn from the 3 - iurnal of the Austrian Lloyd that the agricultural reports from several parts of Galicia are very unfavourable. The want of water which succeeded the long drought has had a most baneful effect upon the cattle and cause,' much disease among ,them. Added to this is tha lamentable failure of the potato Crop. In the uplands this disease attacks the entire potato, so that it is utterly unfit for use;; and in tho plains, although this disease is not so prevalent, the crop is, nevertheless, very scanty, and the potato small. BRAILA, SEPT. 7.—The wheat which we have been obliged to import has suffered much from the damp, we have been compelled to send to ealafat for a fresh supply. REGERSBERG, SEPT. 29.—Our magistrates have issued a proclamation containing this - resolution, that the poor inhabitants shall have good rye bread under the tariff prices during the present distress.

THE MURDER Al' DAGENHAM—A communication was sent by Sir George Grey, tbe Secretary of State for the P• ne Department, to the Commissionirs of Police at Su) lard yard, late on Wednesday, suggesting the withdrawal of the rewards offered for the apprilension of the murderer or murderers of the policeman Clark, in June last, at Dagenham. No less a sum than 6751. has been collected for the apprehension of the guilty parties, including the Government reward of 1001. This has been done in the several divisions of police, whose sub scriptions have varied according to the number from 701. to 201. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM, BIRMINGIIAM. —A very numerous meeting of the members of the Li censed Victuallers' Association was held the other day, at which it was resolved to give the sum of 1001. out of their funds towards the erection of the proposed asylum in this town. It was also agreed to engage the theatre for two nights next month, and the proceeds of the even ings to be applied to the same purpose. Since the last annual dinner a number of subscriptions have been sent in for the above desirable project, and it is expected before long the building will be commenced. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMEN T.—Thursday even ing public meetings were held in the school room of York road Chapel, Lambeth, at the Grotto Tavern, Bouthamp ton-buildings, Holborn, and at the Castle Lin, City-road, to organise district societies to co-operate with the Me- - tropolitan Early Closing Association, for procuring an abridgement of business hours in and about London. The committees and other officers for conducting the affairs were elected, and a determination was expressed to support the object of the Association in every pos sible way. THE LORD PROYOSTSIIIP.--The citizens of Edin burgh, of all parties and ranks, will receive, with no ordinary satisfaction, the announcement made in the Town Council yesterday, that Mr. Black has consented to retain the office of chief magistrate for another year.

In all railway prjects, particularly with regard to those of any magnitude, it seems en i nev i ta bl e conse quence that some disappointment, soire dizquiettide; some fancied grievance, should arise on the part of pri vate individuals touching the right of property, the ad vantages of locality and position, and those many cir cumstances whose centre will be invariably found in a man's own pocket, without, in some instances, the most remote reference to the conveniences of the public, or to the interests of the shareholder. It would seem as if one party possessed peculiar privileges, end another was-exposed to ail the annoyances and injuries cense quent upon a determined and inevitable puipoie. le it:, however, the duty of a directory not to be delude i by any one; but, acting on the principles of justice and ' • propriety, to pursue that course which is found, after due consideration, in accordance witli-the interests of the public, and in the end, with the interests o: those who, as shareholders, are more immediately concerned it yet remains to be shown whether the one can be ju diciously separated from the other, without inflicting injury on both. These remarks apply to the proposed deviation of the line of the Great Northern, so far as the town of Don caster is concerned—a scheme whose magnitude is of the first importance, and the extent of whose beneficial use fulness it is a matter •of some difficulty to correctly define. It would be fbreign to the purpose of this notice to lay any particular stress upon the plan of Mr. Locke; to point out theimpropriety with regard to this particular course or that particular position with respect to the station ; equally foreign to throw the imputation of blame here, or the presumed advantages of self-interest there. But, in carrying out successfully the gigantic scheme of the Great Northern—takin g at the same time all matters into due consideration, with regard to the 'sub- stantial good which seems fully calculated to arise from the full and proper operation of the whole undertaking r -we are decidedly of opinion that the plan of Mr. Cubitt, with regard to the town of Doncaster, in altering . . the site of the station fr om th e eastern to the western , :side of the town, is marked by a sound discretion and a '_ judicious propriety. This opinion is justified by many ~ circumstances, not only of an immediate local character, s „ but of those in which the true interests of the directory and the company are inti ma t e l y assoc i ated. The beauty ~ ,: i. and convenience of th e sou th entrance to the town from i,j' the race-ground, onc e th e great north road, whose fame ,ii . 11th , is spread far and w id e , w ill b e preserved, with its _ range of magnificent elms, as well as the beautiful race ground . itself. The o p en town, f i eld, too, which is the ad- ~I miration of strangers, as well as the property inne- • . dirstely contiguous or connected with private residences, ; will remain int ac t. B es id es, the inconvenience, which, from the nature of the approaches alone, would inevi- -: tahly have been ex p er i enced by fixing a station at -., Docken Hill, without mentioning the interruption of ..), the river navigation to th e town i tself, will be wholly' • -- 9 obviated. In short, a bad course and a worse local ty for all the purposes and requirements of an important " : ~, station are now aba n d one d, f or one the adoption cf ' • which satisfactorily ev i nces t h at ne i t h er the true inte- rests of the town of Doncaster and its neighbourhood, ~ nor those of the company itself in one portion of its essential particulars, are disregarded by those who are plecad in the position to carry out, succet efully, one cf the most gigantic and magnificent schemes that ever was projected or brought into operation. The proposed new • Site, indeed, whil e it f orc ibl y evinces the correct judg- , ment of Mr. Cubist, is better in every point of view— better as to mere locality—better as to convenience-- betteE. as to the population—the approaches—the outlets —the transit and receipt of goods—the arrival and d - parture of passengers, and those many moans and ap pliances,, ramifications and branchey, connived with railway operations, which - lire of essential importance ; affording, at the same time, facilities for the erection of buildings, wile:her of a public or private charrcter,v.-hich.. ~ are in vain Liolred for in the locality which: jii , ,s'ii, et i !

For. the erection of the station itself, and all the build -ings connected therewith, as well as those si ilh regard ..to the' plant, however extensive, there is " ample room and verge enough." Nor is this all. The appro priation of the ground for all the required purposes t f one of the most important stations on the whole line, inflicts no injury upon private italividuals, creates no public in• convenience, and mars no existing realities. As, there fore, all matters and circumstances are as admirably adapted to all the required purposes as could have been possibly desired, with regard to ground, b u ildi ngs , an d poiition, so the site w h' c h has been fixed upon by the engineer, and which, we doubt not, will receive the sanction and approval of the directory, is decidedly the best which could have been selected; looking to the best interests of ,the town at large, as well as those of the surrounding locality, and consequently, to the best in terests of the company itself. With regard to the deviation of the line in other re spects, no loss, with regard to distance, will have to be sustained. It will remain the same as the original line ; so that many important advantages, so far as the town of Doncaster is concerned, will be conferred without the infliction of loss to the company in other respects. In deed the company, by the adoption of the proposed de viation, will save a sum of money amounting to nearly 100,000/.—an important point in all railway under takings, especially as is the case in this instance, when a larger amount of benefit is conferred upon no inferior portion of the community, and the line itself is ren dered more efficient, more comprehensive, and more sa tisfactory. • It is :impossible to contemplate the operations of this magnificent scheme without being impressed with the most powerful, if not the most overwhelming convic tions, particularly, as will undoubtedly be the case eventually, when other contemplated lines shall find their junction at the Doncaster station. A wholly new era will be opened upon the town of Doncaster and its fruitful neighbourhood. The capabilities of both will possess the best chance of a full development; and, in connexion with other borough improvements, concomi tant as to their means, and appropriate as to their appli cation, the elements of prosperity, associated with judicious enterprise, with more-exrensive markets, more extensive intercourse, and more improved trade, linked with rapidity and cheapness of communication will be rendered fully available, and produce their beneficial results to all classes of the community.—Donaistei• Gazittc.
