THE LAW OF ENTAIL.-1 1 meeting of the proprie tors of entailed estates in Scot land was held in the Hope touu Rooms on Thursday, fol : " the purpose of 6onsidering the great national evil cone .ected with the law of entail, and the propriety of an itnme hate application to the Legis lature thereupon," The meet ,ing being a preliminary one,. the repreeeistsalves. of • the pi . - ess were not allowed access to it. We have, however, boea n furnished with the following outline of the proceedings : Si r David Baird, Bart., in the absence of the Marquis of B re; tdalbane (from whom a corn municati,on was made to th e s heeting), was called to the chair, ano gave a lucid ste ,tem cnt of the injurious effects of the law of entail in preve sting free commerce in land, and particularly as preventing t ;hose bnprovements now rendered necessary to meet the e: cpectet.t competition of foreign corn, and the adjustment of rights between landlord aid tenant. As WAS to be expected, when a subject of such momentous interest was hro ught b.tfore them for the first time, there were .different opinions stated by the proprietors present as to the proper ni ode of following up the move ment. We, understand, by wever, that a unanimous reso lution was entered into, remitting to a committee, of which the most noble the Marquis of Breadalbane was to be chairman, 2 nd Sir David Baird, Bart., the coavenev, to consid t er as to the best mode of seeking a legislative reme d v for the evils of the entail law, and to gall other and n ;ore extended meetings as they might deem proper. The r neeting, which was pretty nu merously att,tuded, lasted foi • about two hours, and only one feeling was e. r pressed .as to t he great national evil intiicted by the law in vestion, and „subscriptions were entered into for carrying fin -ward the mo yet lent, and defraying the neces sary expenses.- -Scotsman.

A new burlesque, entitled Hop o'my Thumb, from the prolific pen of Albert Smith, was produced at this theatre last evening, for the purpose of intro,;ucing the renowned General Tom Thumb as an actor. The General, of course, acted the part of the hero, and never before did little man appear so great. The legend is closely followed, as far as regards the adventures of. Hop o'my Thumb, albeit King Cole, with his Fiddlers three, and his army of five, is introduced to eke out the plot of the drama. By the by, it is to be regretted that Mr. Albert Smith did not make him a President instead of a King. He might have poked some excellent fun at Polk by so doing, for worthy King Cole is quite a match for the Presicknt, in words and ways and means. But to the General, a per son of infinitely more weight (albeit he only weighs fifteen pounds) than Mr. President Polk. He is the drama, and therefore is the whole play contained in a nutsh(ll ; for, in the first scene, certain fairies bring to King Oberon a nut, which he cracks, and out hops the iittle great man, in the double capacity of General and Kernel. The story then goes on "by the book." He is sent with his brothers into the forest. He re views the King's army of five. He finds the Ogre's shoe, which he incautiously turns into a carriage, and in which ho is dragged off by his brothers to the Ogre's castle. Ile overhears the Ogre's plan for murdering himself and his brothers, and changes the nightcaps for the gold crowns of the Ogres children. He efforts the es cape of himself and his brothers —has a broadsword com bat a la Hicks and Hughes, with a jealous rustic — robs the ogre of his seven-leagued boots—takes the command of the army which is to encounter the Ogre ,• and, previously to going forth, is shaved to the tune of Larg' al Factotum, by a regular Barbiere di qualita, sallies forth to fight the Ogre to the air of Suona la tromba, and brings him in a prisoner to the Druid chorus in Norma —ending by entering his own carriage and four, with coachmen, footmen, &c., and driving off at the conclusion of the piece. He was loudly called for at the fall of the curtain, and announced the piece for repetition amidst the loudest applause. Bouquets were thrownto him from all parts of the house. The Gene ral picked up as many of them as he could carry, and walked off with a load of flovters, many of which were individually taller, and all of which, collectively, were certainly heavier than himself. THE WAR IN INDIA. (From the Journal des Debats.) " The war entered into in the north of India appears to be one of the most serious yet undertaken by the British Go vernment. _ " The news came down to the 2d of February. Another great battle was fought on-the British territory on the 21st of January, but the result .was not yet known to the public en the departure of the steamer from Bombay, which had, nevertheless, been delayed for 48 hours, and which could only set sail with the dispatches: of the Governor-General. It was onlyknown that the action commenced at half-pasteight o'clock in the morning, and had been prolonged until half past three o'clock in the afternoon. Daring the whole of that time a brisk cannonade had been heard at a distance, as far as Looslianah and Ferozepore. We have already pub lished an ext-act from a Bombay newspaper, according to which 10,000 Seikhs had made so violent an attack on the corps commanded by Sir H. Smith, that the native troops had been routed, and two English regiments obliged to beat a retreat ; but explanations relative to this fact are still wanting, the exactness of which is, more over, formally disputed by the English papers. The com munications between those two cities, and especially between Ferozepore and Delhi, are most frequently intercepted, and letters reach their destination but irregularly. We are, how ever, perfectly well informed of what took place during the whole of the interval which precedes the most interesting moment—that is to say, up to the day of the second battle, exclusively. The following is a summary of the facts:— " The days of the 21eCand 22d of December having left the English artillery nearly hors de combat (for want of horses and ammunition), Sir H. Hardinge and'Sir H. Gough deemed it prudent not to renew the engagement by pursuing the enemy, although they had only retired to a distance of about two leagues from their first encampment. The two armies, therefore, remained en presence for eight days, on the left bank of the Sutlej, and it was only on the 29th of De eel-Aber that the Seikhs recrossed the river of their own accord, quite leisurely, and without the least molestation. In fine, the motive of their retreat was not, as at first supposed, the dis couragement with which they had begun to be seized on be holding the reinforcements which arrived daily at the camp of the Governor-General ; it was, on the contrary, because the operation which they had hitherto masked was termi nated, and their position ameliorated. The English army concentrated at Ferozepore, and increased by the division of Meerut, became unassailable. It was even dangerous to await it, whatever might otherwise have been theeadyants, tages of the ground, with the Sutlej in their rear. It was therefore necessary, on the one hand, to force it to divide itself, by multiplying the points of attack; and, on the other, to establish a strong body of cavalry on the bank of the river, in order to avoid being driven into it. With a skill which was far from being imputed to them, the chiefs of the Seikh army succeeded in attaining both these objects. Whilst their principal body held in check the English divisions en camped on the field of Ferozeshah, a detached corps of 30,000 men, with 35 pieces of artillery, made so alarming a diver sion in the direction of Loodianah, that Sir H. Hardinge was obliged to dispatch orders to the 12,000 men who came from Meerut, with the greater part of his cavalry and artillery, to advance to that side by forced marches. At the same time, a third division of the Seikh army constructed in front of their bridge of boats at Hurreekee (a bridge substantially con structed) a formidable battery, mounted with 50 pieces' of heavy artillery, and capable of holding a garrison of 20,000 'men. It seems that there was no knowledge of all these pre parations till towards the 15th of January, when the English engineers, sent to reconnoitre the position, reported that this tete de pont was of a nature calculated to require a regular siege ; and that the bridge itself was defended on the right bank of the river by formidable batteries which commanded it throughout its whole length and breadth. " Meanwhile the Seikh division, directed upon Phulloor, the point of the right bank-of the Sutlej, immediately in front of Loodianah, had put itself in communication with the Seikhs protected by the left bank. A powerful tributary, the Raja of Lodwa, raised the standard.of revolt against the English, and joined the enemy with the whole of his contit gent, which may be estimated at 10,000 men, as much infantry as irregular cavalry. Himself leading his troops, he presented himself on the 4th of January before Loodianah, all the inha bitants of which place had fled, and of which the garrison, composed of two native battalions, had retired into a fortress a cannon-shot from the city, with the women and sick of the 50th European Regiment, and, moreover, with the wives of officers of the different staffs of the Commander-in-Chief and the Governor-General. For several days the most lively anxiety was felt at Delhilrespecting the fate of all these per - sons, who, as at the period of the Affghanistan disastets, might fall into the,hands of the enemy, and become very ens barrassing hostages. Fortunately, the citadel possessed 15 pieces of heavy artillery, and the Siekhs had no idea of be sieging it. They contented themselves with burning a por tion of the city, with all the European cantonment, the bar racks, the hospitals, the Protestant church, and the Popish chapel; they then retired to a distance of half a league, into a jungle (very thickly covered with rushee and bamboos), where they commenced active preparations for fortifying themselves against General Grey, who was advancing. " The official details go no further. It is, nevertheless, well known that the army of Ferozepore, having received the provisions which it expected, lesgan to move on the 18th of January by re-ascending the Sutlej, with the view of re pulsing the Seikhs into their own territory. After some skirmishes of little importance, during the days of the 19th and 20th, its van-guard, under the command of Sir H. Smith, arrived, it is said, on the 21st of January before the tae de pont, of which we have already spoken. It was re joined an hour afterwirds by General Grey's division from Loodianah. The battle is said to have been one of the most sanguinary on record, and to have had no other result than the expulsion of the enemy from one bank of the Sutlej to the other. " The various corps which have received orders to reinforce the army of Sir Henry Hardinge will increase its numerical force to 40,000 men, of whom 10,000 are Europeans, with 140 pieces of artillery. Such, however, is the impression produced on the mind of the Governor-General by the resist ance that he encountered on the battle-field of Ferozeshah, that, even with these means of offence, he appears resolved not to advance against 'Lahore till he has brought up in line, either to operate with him, or to protect the rear, the division of Sir C. Napier in Sinde, 15,000 strong, including 4,000 Europeans. Now, the latter not having been able to commence his march from Hyderabad to the Indus until to wards the 15th or 16th of January, and having to travel over a'space of 250 miles (more than 100 leagues), could not ar rive at the point of rendezvous in less than 20 days—that is, before the sth or 6th of February. At that period the beats in the Punjab become so insupportable, that it is to be pre sumed that the Governor-General will content himself for this campaign with the capture of Lahore, and will postpone the remainder of the operations of the conquest till the sea son of 1847. It is calculated that the expenses of this war will amount to at least 10,000,000!., and that the occupation of the new territory will require an S and that the occupation of the new territory will require an increae of 30,000 men to the Company's army. We already see an ordinance adding three regiments of native infantry of recent formation to the army of Bombay, and five regiments of irregular cavalry to that of Bengal. " The destruction of Loodianah is a very considerable ma terial loss to the English. This ancient Mussulman city, raised by the first conquerors of the house of Lodi, is the most frequented place of passage between India and the Pun jaub : a considerable trade is carried on there, and its popu lation amounts to about 20,000 souls. Thus, although it belongs to the Raja of Djhind, one of the most powerful of the protected Seikh Princes, the Company has established a political agent there, who partly exercises the powers of a collector and a magistrate. There was also a garrison sta tioned there, composed in latter times of an European bat talion, with a battery of light artillery, and two regiments of native infantry. "What gives this city great importance in the eyes of the English is,• the fact that it has become the seat of a new trade, which has been immensely extended during the last 30 years—the manufacture of the celebrated Cashmere shawls. It was introduced therein by a colony of Cashme rians, which the Company originally introduced at its own expense, but which afterwards, being sufficiently encouraged, recruited itself annually at Cashmere. Loodianah, at the moment of its destruction, included about 800 shawl manufactories, that is to say, more than 2,000 workmen, who are now dispersed. It had been chosen as the seat of this trade, at first, because it formed the frontiers of the Punjaub ; and, secondly, on account of its proximity to the wool-market of Rampour, in Bissahir, whither the Kanaoris and the Thibetians annually bring a large quantity of paschen," that is, the kind of wool necessary for the manufacture of the Cashmere shawls. This wool is, un fortunately of a very ordinary quality ; the Loodianah cashmeres are very common, and have never found pur chasers in Europe. As a set-off, however, to this disadvan tage, they had the monopoly of the Indian markets. The manufactures of Cashmere could not contend with those of Loodianah, the price of labour being equal in both those manufactures, and the preduce of Loodianah not being saddled with the taxes levied on those of Cashmere. The East India Company was exclusively interested in this enter prise, and was the sole proprietor of all the factories. It thence derived enormous profits, which will now of course cease. This is a fresh grievance, which will furnish it with another motive for indemnifying itself by conquest." CAUTION A 9 TO POTATO STORlNG.—Professos Henslow communicates two curious instances of spontaneou Ignition having nearly taken place in consequence of fibrous mate rials being used to store potatoes. In one case a labourer at Ilitehin, observing that some potatoes intended for seed were sprouting, stored two bushels is perfectly dry bean-dust, the refuse after thrashing and removing the stalks ; but the moisture from the potatoes so saturated the bean-dust, that it heated and became charred ; some of the potatoes were half reacted, and bad it remained unnoticed a few days longer the cottage would probably have been burnt down. In the other case, Mr. Joseph Rand, of liandleigh, in October last, laid up a quantity of potatoes in a small chamber of his malt-house, care fully packed in layers with dry "malt dust," which falls through the kiln tiles. About a fortnight ago the Excise officers, in making their inspection, lighted upon this heap, and happening to stir it up, found the interior in a state approaching to ignition, the potatods par boiled, or half baked, .and the malt-dust perfectly charred. Imme diate steps were taken to remove the heap ; the potatoes being chiefly rotten, were thrown away, and the malt-dust was laid on another of the same material, to be carried upon the land; but in a short time it heated again so powerfully, that no time was lost in it from the premises, the wails and floor of which had been removing visibly affected by the heat. HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT INSTI TITTION.—The seventh annual general meeting of the members and friends of the above institution was held yesterday at the London Coffee-house, Thomas Clark, Esq , late of the White Hart, Windsor, presiding. From the report it appeared that tile receipts of the past year, including the previous balance, amounted to 3771. ss: 3 L, from which a balance of 63. 7d. remained. There had, however, up to the present time been funded 433/. to. 2d., making the total capital stock 4,15 G/. 23. 4.1. During the year 1301. had been received through the chairman and his friends.

P., &c., for their valuable aid, and also to Messrs. Lovegrove, for the gratuitous use of their rooms, to Mr. Tapster, the honor ry secretary, and to the chairmen of the day, and the meeting broke up. MARGATE, MONDAY.—This day, about one o'clock, during a strong vale from the west, the brig Richard, from Liverpool to London, of 267 tons, went ashcre on the 'tongue Sand. Too much praise cannot be given to the crews of the bevelling boats belonging to this pert ; the Mary, in most gallant style, dashing through a terrific sea, and returning to the shore with the captain and all the crew. The brig is flow under water, a total wreck. Should the weather moderate, the cargo may be Saved. The brig is loaded with wine, oil, acids, and materials for an atmospheric railway, consigned to Dlr. Lucas, Oriffin-wharl London. • Two skeieti 'RS werd lately found. at Cross, near Axbridge, on the premises of Mr. Wade, surgeon, of that place, about three feet below the surface of the ground, by workmen who were digging the foundation for a wall. The orchard In which they were found belonged many years to the White Hart Inn. One of the skeletons was considered to be that of a female, about middle age ; the other that of a male alvanced in years. It is the oplcion'of the neighbourhood, that these remains are evidences of the crime 01 murder having been InlTetraikKL-4veruis Bath journal.

Honour to Mr. Stirling Coyne for writing, honour to the Adelphi management for producing, one of the most glorious farces that has ever been acted. Reader, are you getting plethoric, fat, heavy, and stupid?—has your medical man prescribed for you with a view to shake your sides, and to stimulate your absorbents?—do you wish to enjoy yourself, to laugh, to scream for half an hour ? Go and see the new Adelphi farce. It is Al, although it is entitled, Did you ever send your wife to Camberwell? A question as dull as ever counsel put to witness, but the answer to which affords matter for in finite mirth. Mr. Chesterfield Honeybun (Mr. Wright) did send his wife to Camberwell—a wife whom he had married without the consent of relations—a wife, more over, young, pretty (Miss Woolgar acted the part), and jealous ; and during their absence from their attic, Mrs. Crank (Mrs. F. Matthews), with her baby, takes possession of the said attic. Mrs. Crank, imagin ing that the attic is the lodging of her husband, Mr. Isaac Crank (Mr. 0. Smith), clockmaker of Stoke Pojis, who has come up to London on busines, she leaves her child in the bed, and goes out to seek her husband. Crank, hearing a child cry, enters the room, and re cognising his own blessed " babby," which he had thought sate and sound at Stoke Pojis, incautiously becomes jealous. No sooner has he left than Honeybun enters, and, finding the baby in his bed, and fearing his wife's jealousy, hides it behind a the -t of drawers. As he leaves, his aunt enters to bring about a reconciliation, fancies it is a juvenile Honeybun, and takes it, away to adopt it. Crank returns, meets Honeybun, accuses him as the seducer of his wife, seiz2s him by the throat, throws him against the drawers, which fall, and, as Honeybun believes, " squashed" the child. Afraid of being accused of murder he gets out on the roof of the house, and Mrs. Crank entering tired by her walk very quietly en•conees herself in Honeybun's bed. Driven in by a shower of rain, Honeybun finds her there, and at the same time he ars hi s je a lous wife ascending the stairs. Fancy Wright in this quandary. Words cannot do justice to the rich humour with which this scene was given. The dialogue, what we could catch of it, was pointed, but the shouts of laughter were so loud, and so continuous that it was impossible to hear two consecutive sentences. To increase the confusion Crank enters and finds Honeybun on his knees before Mrs. Crank. He is imploring her forgiveness for what he calls babycide ; he is, however, relieved by the entrance of Aunt Jewell with the baby, and then it comes out that Crank lives on the floor below, and that Mrs. Crank has mistaken the room. The piece ends with a declaration on the part of Honeybun of his inten tion to send his wife to Camberwell every night, a promise which, we doubt not, he will keep for some fifty nights to come. The artistes, baby, and all were called for at the fall of the curtain, and in this instance most certainly the honour was richly deserved. NEW BARRACKS AT WOOLWICH, The Board of Ordnance having given notice to the Ad miralty that the west square of the Royal Artillery Barracks, at present occupied by the Woolwich division of Roya Marines, will be shortly required for the accommodation o the 10th battalion, about to be raised, and the numerous re cruits for the Royal Artillery almost daily joining at head. quarters, the works at the new Royal Marine Barracks have been ordered to be expedited for the reception of the corps. The whole of the brick-work of the extensive new Royal Marine Barracks, capable of accommodating upwards of 1,000 men, with residences for their officers, has been e rected, and it is expected will be fully completed within three months from the Ist inst. Ihe basement story will be occupied as kitchens far cooking, and contain large iron ranges, with every convenience for that purpose. The floors are formed of large flag-stones adjoining the fire-places, and the other parts of asphalte on a concrete foundation. To prevent the possibility of the building being destroyed by fire, the whole of the joists ar3 of metal, and the only parts made of wood are the window-sashes and steps leading to the first and second stories. The floors of the first and second stories are formed of asphalte ou concrete foundations, placed upon brick arches, and there are no fire - p laces i n the apartments above the base ment story, the who le of th em being heated by an apparatus for circulating hot air, which is effected by the aid of an furnace - scre w eight feet in di ame t er , connec t e d with a dnaet w i n ter, and by an adaptation o f the works, capable of co ld air from the ext er i or t o th e w h o le of th e u r rr ene c hia i ri r cmc c eu u eil l ming interior of the barracks in summer. The motive power for working the screw is attained by weights, on the same prin ciple as an eight-day clock, and when wound up will cause the screw to revolve with great velocity for eight hours before it will cease working on the weights reaching the bottom of the building. In front of the first and second floors a large open space, the entire extent of the building, has been con structed and arched over f)r the men to take exercise in wet weather, and. every care has been taken for their comfort. On the north side of the barracks fr the men substantial and commodiOuS dwelling-houses have been built for the Colonel in command, and the Colonel second in command, and for officers' quarters. In a line with the barracks for the men and a spacious room for a library and a piece of h a e n ante-rooms, the staff non-commissioned officers' quarters have been con structed,set apart for a racquet-court. On the south side is , with dwelling-houses for s in front of the barracks for the men is in progress of being levelled, as it will be required for drill.before the contractor can finish the outbuildings and boundary walls. In the rear of the barracks a building is constructed for the purpose of being used as a magazine or g o t ft i a er ' ds' mess-roomq uart e quarters. ( 1 1 ' store room, and a framework to represent the b )ws and part of the sides of a ship-of-war vvi:h two port-holes in the bows, and two on each side, for exercising the men with large guns to instruct them in the duties they will have to perform at sea.

The Chester Cup betting was confined to three or four horses, and was limited in amount and importance. Clumsy and Miss Burns were prominently in demand at an improve ment on last week's prices, and not until near the end; to the prejudice of Best Bower, who had previously been quoted at 22 to 1, with several friends. Whinstone, once a " fiist class " favourite, receded to 40 to 1, and even at that figure was feebly supported. Beyond the advance to Poynter of 40 to 1 there was nothing in the Derby betting to call for n remark ; and the business transacted on the Oaks was con • fined to Kent's lot, and Princess Alice at the prices mentioned underneath. • CLOSING AVERAGES : WARWICK TRIAL STAKES. 5 to 4 agst Mr. A.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A few words on the past Coventry, and forthcoming Warwick meetings, will not, I imagine, be unacceptable at the present moment. These meetings do not derive their importance, in the eyes of the racing men, from the value of the stakes which are run for at them, which are compara- tively of trivial amount, but are estimated and visited be cause they afford an insight into the training stables, and " lines (as they are technically termed) of Derby and Oaks can didates" are got from the performances of older animals in the same stable. Moreover several very superior race-horses have made their debut at Coventry, such as Corona tion, Chitchat, - Fitzroy, &c., and alterations of no . mean importance in the Derby market have been caused by the return hots from these places. The late m. eet:ng at Coventry was far superior to any of its predecessors. Five races, a tine day, and a numerous com pany, satisfizd everybody. The weather, indeed, reminded every one of the Houghton meeting at Newmarket, in 1345. The Craven Trial Stakes, always a race of interest, was won with great ease by Buttress,fromPantasa and four others. Pan tasa, asmight be imagined, was the favourite and had penty of friends, who were not a little mortified at his defeat. He, I imagine, is not unlike General Pollock, a game animal, but wanting that great desideratum in a race-horse—speed. The pace at which Buttress came away, completely took the cream out of him. It is singular his late master, Mr. Mos tyn, should have so many game animals in his stud, and yet so few speedy ones. His next cross may, perhaps, prove more successful. In one way, Pantasa and Wee Pet are not unlike; that is, in any great race for which they are backed they generally run second. In the City Handicap, Lord Warwick's Roebuck, a son of gallant Vesuvius, made a sad example of the field opposed to him; among others the celebrated Marian Ramsay. The other Handicaps which followed afforded a most splendid race, and that splendid animal, Godfrey, only secured the stake for the Meiklam by the manual exertion of Tem pleman, for could the boy but have persevered with Billy Purvis, he must have won. As Godfrey gave him only 431 b., it cannot be reckoned a very bad performance. Buttress was again in an excellent place, and must not be lost sight of at Epsom. At Warwick, to-morrow, the chief source of attraction will be the Trial Stakes and the Handicap. To the former there are nine entries, and from my acquaintance with them I should select Boulogne as the winner, with Pantasa in his accustomed place. To the Warwick Handicap ten horses were set down, and, as only two have declared, it reflects credit on the handicapper. I will dispose of their preten sions in a few lines. Godfrey, Bst 71b, after his race on Wednesday, I. do net like, his weight being more than he can conveniently carry. Mosque, if well, should run for ward. Subduer, I cannot fat:cy, will vindicate his name. Kilgram is a very moderate animal, with far too much weight on him. Roebuck, with his slb extra, should be first. Jack Sheppard's character is as bad as his namesake. Isabella and Outcast's chance is, in my opinion, a very meagre one, but, of the two, would choose the latter. In conclusion, I expect to see Roebu.:k first and Mosque second. In the great match for 1,000 soya., between Mr. Clifton's Nottingham, Bst 71b, and Mr. O'Brien's Needful, Got 21b, if it should be run, I would incline to Nottingham. TELEGRAPH. London, March 17, 1846. ILAMBURGH MAIL. CRACOW, MARCg 7.—The Prussian post arrived again this evening. Many families are in the greatest dietress ; almost every one has to deplore the loss of one or more of its members; many are wholly ignorant of the fate of their relations. Thus the celebrated family of Count Patelski in Paremba, do not know whether the head of the family has fled or perished. There are two battalions of Prussian in fantry, and two squadrens of Hulans, in Cracow, which en tered the city yesterday. The Russians, with some pieces of cannon, have occupied the guard-house. General Collin and the Russian General Pamintin, have issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, promising protection to the peaceable citizens, and threatening punishment to those who shall be guilty of any excesses ; and those who do not deliver up their arms in a certain time. General Count Brandenburg is here, the remainder of the staff is at Lipswile. • POSEN, MARCII B.—Yesterday afternoon a quantity of arms were seized in a mill, and about twenty young men ar rested at the same time. After the attempt made on he night of the 3d March, it is said that several of the insurgents, endeavouring to cross over the Martha and its affluent the Cibinue, were drowned, the river being very muck swollen. Prisoners are brought 1 in every hour. Many Polish ladies are in mourning. The inglorious end of the revolt in Cracow will doubtles dis courage the rebels here. PosEN, MARCIE 9. Notwithstanding all the alarming reports of projected attack by night, the tranquility of our city has not been Interrupted ; but though Posen has not been declared in a state of siege, we live as in a time of war: the streets are thronged with military, the gates are closed at night, and numerous patrols do not allow more than two persons to be together.

RAPID APPROACHES OF FAMINE.—IMPORTANT MEETING IN FERMOY. A meeting of the landed proprietors, gentry, and inha bitants generally of Fermoy and the surrounding districts, was held on Wednesday last in the Court-house, Fermoy, for the purpose of adopting some measure in co-operation with the Government for the relief of the labouring population. At one o'clock the chair was taken by Edmond Burke Roche, Esq Letters from several noblemen connected with the county by property and residence were read. • Mr. APICAY, Ballyroberts, said he had no hesitation . in saying that in the parish of Castlelyons they would not have a potato by the Ist of May. He bad seen some of the people in that district making use of food that was unfit for Chris tians. 100 0 0 GO 0 0 The SECRETARY said that Mr. Quinlan, Guardian for the district of Mitchelttown, containing about 10,000 inhabitants, had sent in a report, and it appeared from it the farmers in that part of the country did not possess as much potatoes as would be sufficient for their families for the next cis weeks— some would not Kaye enough for the ntxt fortnight, and they were sending their data to a neighbouring mill to supply their immediate wants. The report added; that unless timely relief were given to the labouring classes the consequences must be lamentable. There were not less than 1,000 people in distress at Mitchelstown. Mr. Thornhill had a list of the labourers in the town of Kildorreri - , showing the quantity of potatoes they had at present-360 persons had not 70 bar rels of potatoes ; 38 families in the villege had not a single potato ; and all these were persons who had gardens, and had the prospect of having as much food as would support them selves and their families.. lle should statp that there were ten persons admitted into the workhouse that day Tro& the - electoral division of Glanworth in fever. TOE POTATO.—Hourly are our prospects becoming more alarming; the panic has now jenetrated to places which were hitherto considered safe; it was thought that this part of Tipperary was in a much better condition th a n m os t o th er counties. But the blight has made frightful ravages,'and the fears of the people are roused to the highest pitch. The prices of potatoes at present are so enormously high that the peor are unable to purchase them. In God's name let some thing be done:to avert starvation.—Tipperary Vindicator. AWFUL ACDIDENT.—We regret to learn that a very awful accident occurred on Wednesday, at New Inn, in this county, under the following circumstances, by which the lives of three men were sacrificed :—lt appears that one of these men proceeded to light a lime kiln, but, not being a regular lime burner, he did not perfectly understand how to proceed to work with effect. lie filled the kiln to about five feet with stones and placed tires under them, but be could not satis factorily produce the necessary heat, and in order to stir up the tire he got a ladder and descended into the kiln—a great volume of smoke arose, and instantaneous suffocation was the remit. A second and third man followed in like manner, and with the same disastrous consequences. The bodies were. got out by breaking down the front wall of the kiln. An inquest was held on the bodies, when a ver dict according to the circumstances was returned.— Tippera7 y Vin&cator. AN AWFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Tuesday night last, a man, named Daniel Berachee, who resides in a mountain dis trict near Newport, called the Copper Mines, retired to bed at an early hour, which was his usual custom, and was fol lowed by his wife, and a young man named Walsh, a servant of his, who lay with Om on each side. In the morning an alarm was given by the wife, who says she saw four men quitting the house as she awoke, and found her husband's skull fractured, and the mark of a wound over one of his eyes. The outrage upon this man is at present involved in much mystery. He was rather advanced in years, and his wife is young and well boking. The window of the room was fastened inside by a boy, a son of Berachee, with a hatchet, and on examination the next morning the hatchet was found in the house, with blood and hair upon it. The unfortunate man still lives, but there is no hope entertained of his recovery.—Nenagh Guardian.—( Berachee's wife and servant boy have been arrested under very suspi c i ous cir cumstances; as they, though in the house, deny having seen or heard the occurrence. It is feared there is not the slightest chance of his recovery.] THE ARMY. eturn "of the Expense incarred, from the year 1840 to the end of the year 1845, by the Rewards paid for the Appre hension of Deserters, by the Expent es attendant on their Committal and Maintenance in gaol—likewise the Expense attendant on the Committal and Maintenance of all other Soldiers during the same period."

THE HOUSEHOLD TRoors.—The following letter in refer ence to the irregularities in the enlistment of soldiers serving in this corps, some account of which appeared in our columns yesterday, has been read to the battalions in parade order, at • the St. James's Park and other barracks : " War-office, March, 1846. " Sir—l am directed to acquaint you that in every ease in which you may ascertain that the attestation of a soldier was irregular, you are hereby authorised to assure the soldier that upon his consenting to be now regularly enlisted and attested, but without bounty, he will be permitted to reckon all his former service in precisely the same manner as if the original attestation had been in all respects regular. ; 1 The soldier must, of course, receiN 7 e the enlisting shilling Formally. . "You will record this upon his new attestation, and also upon his record of service, reference being made to the number and date, &c., of this letter. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " L. SULIVAN." The publication of the above letter will, no doubt, have the effect of quieting the fears of several in tilt/ line, to which the panic has as well extended.

The new military prison, at the rear of Charing-cross Barrackc, is approaching to completion, and way be ready for the purpose fur which it is intended in about two months.
