DESTITUTE POOR, ETC., IRELAND. There has just been issued (pursuant to an order of the House of Lords) the appendix (in the form of a thick blue book of nearly seven hundred folio pages) to the minutes of evidence taken before the select Com mittee of the House of Lords, appointed " to inquire into the operation of the Ist and 2d Vic., cap. 56, and the other laws relating to the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland; and also to inquire into the operation of the Medical Charities in Ireland which are supported wholly or partially by grants from the county cess ; and to report thereon to the House." This appendix con sists of reports from parochial authorities, tables, calcu lations, &c., illustrating the present condition of the destitute poor of Ireland and the medical charities there. The following are a few of the more interesting of the extracts to be selected from the mass of materials con tained in this bulky volume. Subjoined is the circular of the Poor-law Commissioners, at the request of the select committee above-named, to the boards of guardians in Ireland ; and some of the answers, resolutions, &c., of a few of the said Boards received in answer thereto, are added : (Circular). Poor-law Commission-office, Dublin, Feb. 20, 1846. Sir,—The Select Committee appointed by the House of Lords to inquire into the operation of the laws for the relief of the destitute poor, and into the operation of the Medical Charities in Ireland, having by a resolution, of which a copy is annexed hereto, called upon the Poor law Commissioners to communicate forthwith to the several Beards of Guardians of unions in Ireland the desire of the Committee to be informed of the different points to which the said Boards shall consider it essential to call their attention, and further to request the Boards to state without delay whether they wish to tender evi dence to those particular points. lam directed by the Poor-law Commissioners accord ingly to request that you will immediately lay before the Board of Guardians of the Union the desire of the committee expressed in their resolution; and at the same time to request that wherever the Board of Guardians may desire to adduce evidence before the committee, they will furnish the Commissioners with the names and descriptions of the proposed witnesses for that purpose. (Signed) ARTHUR MOORE, Chief Clerk. To the Clerk to the Board of Guardians of the ---- Union. (Copy of Resolution referred to.) By the Lords' Committees appointed a Select Com mittee to inquire into the operation of the Ist and 2d Vic., cap. 56, and the other laws relating to the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland; and also to inquire into the operation of the medical charities in Ireland which are supported wholly or partially by grants from county cess. Resolved—That the Poor-law Commissioners be re quested to write forthwith to the boards of guardians, stating the desire of the committee to be informed of the different points on which the said boards shall consider it essential to call their attention ; the boards to be further requested to state, without delay, whether they wish to tender evidence to those particular points. (Signed) CL ANC ARTY, Chairman. ARMAGH UNION. (Extract from Guardians' Minutes, 3d of March, 1846.) (Circular read.) the following resolutions were passed:- Ist. That in the opinion of this meeting a Vagrancy Act of some kind is called for, in order to put a stop to the practice of public begging, still extensively pre • Talent in Ireland, notwithstanding the Poor Relief Act. 2d. That it appearing, from the books of this union, that there are at present in the workhouse no fewer than fifty-three illegitimate children, being about one-sixth of the whole number of children in the house, and it being clearly apparent that the work house is thus becoming a place of refuge for these unfortunate children, and their degraded and un fortunate mothers, it is most desirable that a remedy should be found which would have the effect of checking the evil ; and this meeting is of opinion that power might be given to the guardians to proceed against the reputed father for maintenance of the child in cases where, in addition to the oath of the mother, she could adduce other and corroborative evidence of her claim. 3d. That in the opinion of this meeting it would be desirable that some uniform system should be devised with reference to the county medical institutions, parti cularly fever hospitals, some of which are established under the Poor Relief Act, and supported out of the rates, whilst others are under the Grand Jury Act, and supported partly by county presentments, which operate unequally, and to the disadvantage of those districts which support their institutions out of the rates. 4th. That a general tenement valuation of Ireland for the purposes of local taxation is much required, the present poor-law valuation being most defective and un satisfactory. sth. That this meeting recommends to the Poor Law Commissioners to suggest to the committee of the House of Lords now sitting on the Poor Laws of Ireland, that William Paton, Esq., our vice chairman, be summoned to give evidence in support of the foregoing resolutions. BALLINASLOE UNION.—MAecu 4. lst. That we consider the whole tenor of the Poor Laws of an unnecessarily arbitrary character, giving un necessary and unconstitutional power to the Commis- sioners, which invariably leads to abuse in the exercise of it; but our sole object being to put those laws into an improved state without retrospect, we do not wish to adduce any proof beyond what must grow out of careful perusal of those laws. 2d. We also consider those laws too restrictive as regards the guardians of the poo r . W e thi n k t h at t h e officers who are paid by the ratepayers, more especially , the clerk to tt e guardians, should be under the exclu sive control of the guardians, who are guardians of the property of those who are taxed for the support of the destitute poor as well as of those to be so supported; and we feel that more discretionary power given to the guardians generally would have beneficial effects ; as, for instance, where a small farmer or labourer is able to support a considerable portion of a large family, but not the whole, the guardians are not allowed to give him assistance, by relieving him from the support of a part till they shall be able to assist him by their labour; he must himself come into the work house, and giving up his land is thus established with his whole family paupers for life, and inmates of the work house; so, if a man seeking work at a distance, being unable to find it at home, the guardians must admit his family under the plea of desertion by him, though it is not the truth ; but if it be averred that he is absent in search of means for their future support, the guar dians have no discretion, they must reject their suit; there is no remedy but pauperising the whole in per petuity. 3d. We are of opinion that there should be but one rate struck in each year ; that it should be struck in the month of September, and be collected in the month of November, and from that on. Nothing is more irksome to the ratepayer than uncertainty as to the time of col lection. 4th. We are of opinion that the law, in requiring of the clergy that they should pay more rate than any other ratepayer, acts unjustly, and are unanimous in our opinion that this injustice should be removed. sth. We consider that taxation ought to be made upon one uniform valuation throughout all Ireland ; that the Government valuation affords the means of doing this, and that it should be adopted ; and the laws relating to applotment of grand jury cess should be extended to the taxation for the relief of the poor, whether under the Poor-law or Medical Charities, but re taining for these the pres , nt system of division of tax ation between the occupiers and owners of the land. This would prevent the necessity for employing valua tors ; and while it gave uniformity in the basis of all taxation upon land, would enable the ratepayer to satisfy himself that he was taxed in fair proportion upon that basis. In this case the applotment for grand jury cess should declare the value of each holding, whether of land or house, or both, and cess or rate should be a poundage upon that value, and there should be one valuation applotment for all purposes. 6th. We consider that no sufficient care can be taken in the workhouses of children under seven years of age, and that therefore none should be admissible to them under that age, unless accompanied by their mothers, and to remain only while their mothers remain; but that provision might be made for such as are motherless by the grand juries, as is done as to foundlings, till they shall arrive at that age ; and to such as had been so provided for to that age admission to the workhouse should be matter of course, if sought for by those having care of them when they shall have attained that age. 7th. We consider that, notwithstanding the erection of workhouses for the relief of the destitute throughout the country, the farmer's charity is as much taxed, the health of his family as much exposed to danger, and his property made liable to pilfer by strolling beggars, as it ever wax, while our towns are full of th em . F or this we see no , remedy but a Vagrant Act ; and this we would recom mend to be passed. Bth. That in respect to medical charities, we are of opinion that the present law is unjust in principle, inas much as it only gives relief where private subscriptio n i s made, thus making the rule, that the more impoverished the district the less it sha'l be assisted, while it taxes these poorer districts for medical assistance to those more favourably circumstanced, though no benefit arises to them from that taxation. We consider it unjust, too, that it should be lett optional with land or householders to contribute to this branch of relief to rho poor, and not so as regards those coming under the Poor laws. The system, too, is one without uniformity, control, or in spection, open to abuse, and greatly abused. We are, therefore, of opinion that an entire new system should be created ; that a Medical Board of first-rate profes sional men should be formed by the Crown ; that they should have superintendence over every public medical charity in Ireland, workhouses, and lunatic asylums in cluded; that for this purpose they should have inspectors of high abilities under them, who should inspect at fre quent but uncertain times; that Ireland should be divided into dispensary districts of about seven miles radius from the dispensary, but varying as circumstances might re• require ; that to each dispensary two rooms. holding not exceeding four beds in each, should be attached as a hospital e fo r non -i nfectious cases ; that the medical at t dents to these establishments should pass a strict examination as to qualifications before this Medical Board. But t i tzguardians re f ra i n f rom further detail, which would Rear-Admiral th them into great length, requesting that of our body, whoe Hon. William Le Peer Trench, one ,has given this subject much conside ration, and who has seen the bad effects arising out of the present system, andthe great benefit derived from even partial intprovetnents thereon, may before their Lordships• Committee thereon their DUBLIN UNIONbe examined em Guardians' Minutes of Feb . 25, 1846. ri veS _ 4 , .. ~" era conferred by the Poor -law Acts up th on e ~,,i ~ _fie : , ..1„ ommisaioners are excessi i• ~re-, - • ' • • wi"- -prived of all power, and the w p h r l i i n e ei p a l / i'' % -- -'4 , - - - • .Ri fial •••,,,,'' .; ~ •: . = vd. trithouse are made wholly independent d• ...-:- ,e ~. , , .7 a:, t' 4 l t t i : kil(_, 7: ,-_-• 1e: ,... : 1 i h folk - THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER l2, 846 of them ; and that we are of opinion that any resolution adopted by three-fourths of the guardians of a union should not be disallowed by the Poor-law Commissioners. That the Poor-law Commissioners have exercised their power in an arbitrary manner in many i stances in this union, and that we are of opinion that there should be a separate Commissioner or board of supervisionfor Ire land, composed of men acquainted with her local cir cumstances, and the characters and habits of her people. That the provisions for charging each electoral divi sion with the expenses of the poor have proved unjust, uneqnal, and oppresive; and that all the expenses of the workhouse should be borne by a uniform rate upon the whole union. That it is manifestly unjust that landlords deriving rents from lands or buildings used for public or cha ritable purposes should be exempt from payment of poor rate, and that such landlords should be rated in propor tion to their rents or profits arising from such lands or buildings. That the defective state of the laws for the support of deserted children in Dublin, so often in vain pressed on the attention of the Irish Government, requires imme diate amendment; and that we are of opinion that pro vision should be made from the poor rate for the main tenance and support of such children, with nurses, in the country. That we are of opinion that it would conduce to the better working of the Poor-law to dispense with ex officio guardians, an have the management of workhouses placed wholly under the control of elective guardians. That the present system of Poor-law election is ex tremely defective, there being no adequate check on the creation of fraudulent or fictitious claims and proxies; and the collection of voting papers gives an undue ad vantage to one party to become acquainted with the votes given, which might be obviated by the votes being returned on sealed papers. That this union is unfairly burdened with the numbers of destitute poor sent back from England, an industrial residence of several years there giving them no claim for support there, while the mere fact of their landing at the North Wall is deemed sufficient for charging them to the North Dublin Union. That we have reason to know that landlords refuse in many instances to allow their tenants their proportion of poor rates on payment of their rents, and that we are of opinion that the landlord's franchise, as a Poor-law elector, should be made dependent on his having allowed the poor-rate to his tenant. That we are of opinion that the principal expenses of hospitals and dispensaries should be charged upon the poor-rates; that those institutions should be placed under the management of committees appointed by the guardians, encouraging at the same time private subscriptions, by giving subscribers a share in their ma nagement and superintendence. That evidence should be given to the Lords Committee on these subjects. (Sign , ai) RICHARD O'GORMAN, Chairman, D. F. BRADY, Committee. ROBERT MULLER, P. D.

This was a petition in the above cause on the part o 1 the present trustees against the late trustees, to compel them to act in conformity with certain resolutions that had been agreed to at a general meeting of the share holders. It appears that in consequence of some dissatisfaction, the meeting was subsequently held on the 7th of August, and was adjourned until the 20th of the same month, and it was unanimously agreed at that meeting that new trustees should be elected. A meeting was then held on the sth of October last, when it was resolved that im mediately such election was made those persons who then acted as trustees, as well as the treasurer, should hand over all property and effects they held, ex officio, to the trustees appointed by the subscribers. The defendants refused to accede to the resolution in question, and alleged that the same had not been taken by ballot, and that the proceedings were in other respects informal. The Act of Parliament was to the effect that when a majority of sub scribers decided upon changing the trustees, that those who then held trust should give up the funds in their hands to those who should be appointed to succeed them. Due notice had been given, and all the requisi tions of law had been complied with. The petition also prayed for the costs of a former petition in the suit. Mr. Russell and another counsel appeared fur the petitioners, and Mr. Wigram for respondents. His HoNoun deferred judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIVCH, Dec. 11. CONSPIRACY.-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. JAMES BUTTON AND OTHERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and ex plained the law to the jury. He said it was for them to say whether the three defendants, or any two, or even one of them, were guilty of the charges imputed to them. They could find one of them guilty, because one might conspire with other persons not named in the indictment. The jury, after a short consultation, found all the de fendants guilty of the conspiracy imputed to them. Corduroy was recommended to mercy by the jury on account of the example set him by the Buttons, al though they entertained no doubt of his delinquency. The defendants will not receive the sentence of the Court until next term. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 11. LIMB V. LAMBERT.-LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COM• MITTEEMEN. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 271. 6s. for advertisements inserted in the Sunday Times newspaper. The defendant was a member of the provisional com mittee of the Jamaica Southern, Eastern, and Northern Railway. Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hum frey for the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff witnesses were called, who proved the consent of the defendant to become a pro visional committeeman, also the attendance of the defen dant upon numerous occasions at the various meetings of the committee, when the order was given to the secretary to advertise the company. Evidence was also given of the order from the secretary to Mr. Dixon, an adver tising agent, to insert advertisements in the Sunday Times. Mr. Aguillar, the secretary of the company, was called and said, that the scheme of the company originated with him, and that he demanded the sum of 15,000/ for the company, on the ground that the company was his own. The sum of 15,0001. was a very small one to get for the sale of a company. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed. LIABILITY OF RAILWAY PROMOTERS.-DOUGLAS v. SMITH. In this case Mr. Humphrey appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin for the defendant. The action was brought by Jane Douglas, a laun dress, who was employed by a parson of the name of Campbell, as housekeeper, to take care of a house in Mansion-house-place, where the defendant and others carried on business in connexion with a railway pro jected by the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, or if so, that he was only jointly liable with three others. It appeared that in consequence of a representation made to the defendant by Campbell and two others, he entered into an arrangement, by which they jointly and severally agreed to bear the ex penses attendant upon the projection of the Tours and Ilonfleur Railway, and the plaintiff was engaged to at tend to the office by Mr. Campbell, whose laundress she then was, and still is. She had applied to Campbell for the payment of her wages, and he had referred her to the defendant. A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiff- Damages 171. 2s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 11. WOODS V. HARDING.-TIIE LEICESTER AND SHREWSBURY DIRECT RAILWAY. This was an action brought by the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle to recover from the defendant, Mr. William Harding, a provisional director of the Leicester and Shrewsbury Direct Railway Company, the sum of 271., for the insertion of the company's prospectus in the newspaper. The plaintiff selected the defendant from whom to recover the amount, he being a gentle man well known, a solicitor, residing in the Potteries, Staffordshire, and the coroner of the county. Mr. MARSHAM opened the case, stating that this ac tion differed from many others in which provisional di rectors had been called to account, as he should prove that the defendant had taken an active part in the bu siness of the company. _ Air. Turner, one of the solicitors of the company, proved that the defendant had requested his name to be placed in the list of provisional directors. The pros pectus, immediately afterwards published, contained the defendant's name. It appeared in all the prospectuses published. It was arranged at the time the defendant called about being a provisional director, that his nephew should be appointed one of the local agents. A sub sequent meeting of the provisional directors was held at the company's offices, Finsbury-place, on the 4th of November, at which the defendant was present, having come to London expressly to attend. A managing committee was appointed at that time, and instructions were given as to advertising the prospectuses in the newspapers. The witness in consequence of his in structions caused the prospectus to be inserted in the Wolverhampton Chronicle among other newspapers. Further evidence was called to prove the order given for the insertion of the prospectus, aad the number of times it appeared. Under the direction of the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 191. ; being the amount due for the advertisements inserted after the meeting on the 4th of November, when the defendant took an active part in the concern. At the suggestion of counsel, ___ ._ _ His LORDS ' EIIP agreed to certify that it was a proper case to be tried, as several other causes of a heavier nature would depend upon it. WINTER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CllrCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 10. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) James Hunter was indicted for the wilful murder of Charles Winslow, at Liverpool, on the 23d of November last, by stabbing him with a knife. Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution ; Mr. James ap peared for the defence. It appeared that on the night on which this occurrence took place, about half past 12 o'clock, the deceased, with two persons called Bryan and Marley, all sailors, were at a public-house at the corner of a lane, called Crooked lane, in the neighbourhood of the Liverpool Custom. house. They were all somewhat in liquor, but were, it was alleged, sufficiently sober to know what they were about. On leaving the public-house they walked down to the corner of Canning-place, lacing the Custom-house, and proceeded along Canning-place towards South Castle-street. In so doing they passed the end of a lane called Litherland-alley, running into Canning place. At the end of the lane they saw two men standing, haring the appearance of sailors. The deceased was a little in advance of his companions, and between him and these two men some angry words took place. Bryan and Marley asked him to come away, but he made no answer to them, and went upLitheiland•alley with the two strangers, the dispute still continuing. Bryan then went on towards Castle-street, and Marley remained some time at the end of the lane. He heard a noi:e of quarrelling in the direction in which the deceased had gone, but from the darkness he was unable to see what took place. At this moment a person of the name of Seymour, a private watchman, came to the end of the lane, and, hearing the noise, went up it, knocking with his staff on the ground to intimate his presence. A number of men and women, who had been fighting and quarrelling in the lane, came down, meeting him, and passing him going into Canning-place. lle was then nine or ten yards up the lane. ‘Vhen they passed him he then saw the de ceased about the place where the quarrelling and fight ing had been going on. He was then proceeding up the lane, and there was no other person there. The deceased had gone but a short way further up, when a person, whom the witness swore was the prisoner, came towards him from the head of the lane. The prisoner struck the deceased in the belly, but the witness could not see whether or no he had anythin g in his hand. The deceased immediately cried out, "Oh my God," and turning, ran back to Canning-place, and on to Castle street. He then overtook Marley. The deceased was then in a stooping position, holding his hand to his belly. He called out, " Oh, Nick, Nick, find a doctor's shop ; there's a knife stuck in my belly." Some police-officers came up and took him into their care. The witness Seymour, who saw the blow struck, had followed the deceased for the purpose of ascertain ing whether he had sustained any injury. He imme diately returned to Litherland-alley with two of the con stables, and at the upper part of the alley he found the prisoner leaning against the rails of an area. He took him into custody, and stated to him that he was charged with stabbing a man. The prisoner said he saw no man, and knew nothing about it. The officers then felt outside of his clothes to asc..-rtain if he had got a knife, but did not find one. He said he bad left his knife on board his ship. On searching him, however, more minutely at the Bridewell a large clasp knife was found in his jacket pocket. On the officers taking the prisoner to Castle-street, where the deceased was, the latter immediately iden tified him as the person by whom he had been s tabbed. The deceased was conveyed to the hospital, when it was found that he had received a wound just below the navel, from which the bovi els protruded. The medical attendant replaced th€m, and the deceased, who was very faint, rallied a little. He again sank, however, and died on the morning of the following day. On a post mortem examination it was found that the epigastric artery had been wounded, and the internal hemorrhage which resulted had caused his death. His depositions had been duly taken the morning after he received the injury, and he then stated that he had met two men at the foot of Litherland-alley, who had. some words with one of his companions. One of these men was the prisoner. He, the deceased, walked on up the alley, when the prisoner followed him, and thrust a knife into his belly. It appeared from the statement of Seymour, that though the lower end of the lane was dark, there was a gaslight over the door of a public-house a few yards be - yond the spot where the blow was struck, which gave him a good view of the prisoner, and enabled him to swear positively to his identity. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defence, con tending that the evidence of the identity was not such es the jury could rely upon. The lane was dark, the person was seen but for a moment, and under the disadvan tageous circumstance of the light, such as it was, being at his back, and throwing his countenance into shade• The mistakes so frequently made in cases where the matter in question was the personal identity of the pri soner were sufficient to induce the jury to distrust testi mony, however positive, founded on such imperfect means of knowledge. The supposed corroboration of the deceased was hardly any corroboration at all. He was in pain, weak, and suffering, and was likely, under the circumstances, not to have the accuracy of recol lection and that clearness of mind which would enable them to rely on his testimony. By the mode, too, in which the testimony was taken, the prisoner was de prived of the benefit of a cross-examination, which might possibly have elicited facts which would sati,fy the jury that his evidence was to be distrusted. The Learned Counsel, after commenting on the other facts of the case bearing on this point, urged that by whomsoever the offence had been committed, it would not amount at ad events to more than manslaughter. It was clear there had been a fight and quarrel, in which the deceased had been engaged, and the jury might reasonably infer that blows had been exchanged under the irritation arising from which the wound had been inflicted upon the person of the deceased. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury after some deliberation returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter. His LORDSHIP addressed the prisoner, stating that the jury had taken a very merciful view of the case, but that his offence at all events was but a shade below the offence of murder. It was necessary by severe example to repress the use of such deadly weapons i❑ the case of sudden quarrels, a practice now too common in this country. To be transported for life. William .Hornby was indicted for killing and slaying George Lockley. The prisoner, it appeared, was employed as engineer in the management of a steam-engine at the railway now i❑ course of formation at Walton, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. This engine is used to draw up the skips from the shafts which have been sunk to form a tunnel. In these skips the persons employed ascend and descend, 'rhe engineer, on a signal being given by the person at the top of the shaft, sets the engine to work. If rubbish or stones are coming up, the banksman," as he is called, waves his hand. If men are ascending he waves his hat. On this occasion the deceased and tour other men were in the skip, coming up to their dinner. The banksman waved his hat, and the engine was set to work. It was about one hundred yards from the mouth of the pit, and the engineer had an aperture in the engine house, from which he ought to have kept a look-out to see when the skip came to the surface. There was also a mark on the rope by which he was able to ascertain when it was necessary to stop the engine. On this occasion the engine was not duly stopped ; the skip con tinued to ascend until it came in contact with the pulley block, and the deceased was thrown out by the concus sion. Fortunately the banksman had drawn the " table," on which the skips are lowered, over the mouth of the pit, and the deceased did not fall to the bottom. He fell, however, a distance of about six yards on the table, and was seriously injured. His skull was fractured and his side injured. He lingered for about a month, and then died. From the cross-examination of Mr. Atkinson, for the prisoner, however, there appeared a reasonable ground for believing that the mischief might have been caused in some degree by accident. The prisoner had left the spot where it was his duty to be for the purpose of feed ing the boiter, and on resuming his place for the purpose of putting his foot on the lever which works the break, his foo slipped, and the engine in consequence went on a little longer than it should have done. Verdict —Not Guilty. Nothing of public interest occurred in th• other Court LORD RADNOR ON LABOURERS' WAGES. At the Farringdon Agricultural meeting last week, Lord Radnor said:— There were some labourers on his estate receiving lOs. a week, and some less than that: they were paid accord ing to their services, and on no other ground whatever. —(Hear, hear.) That he contended to be the true principle—it was a principle upon which men acted on every subject, and it was the only way by which to do the labourer justice. He maintained that paying men according to their services was really and truly the only way to make a labourer perfectly independent.---(Hear.) In consequence of acting upon the principle of regulating wages according to the price of corn, the indolent and idle would be paid more than the ixtive. industrious and useful man.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") Nor was it to be said that the wages of the labourer should be such as to meet his wants. He denied that they depended on his wants : they depended on meritorious labour. If they depended on his wants, he wished to know who was to fix his wants ? They must be fixed either by the em ployer or the man himself. It his wants were to be fixed by the man himself, he would say, " I want a piece of roast beef for my dinner every day ; and un less I hare this and good clothes I shall not be satisfied." That, of course, was out of the queFtion. Os. the other hand, if his wants were to be fixed by his employer, who was the stronger man of the two, the probability was that the labourer would be re duced to the lowest possible point at which man could keep body and soul together ; and would become snore like the Irish than the English labourer. That would be the result of paying not according to services rendered, but according to the supposed wants of the labourer. It had been stated that this was a most cruel, harsh, and un charitable mode of acting tow ar d s t h e l a b ourer. Char i ty was a different thing to the payment of labour. He did not object to charity if it was no t g i ven i n t h e shape ofwa!es; if aman wish to b e c h ar i ta bl e l et h i m freely give it out of his own pocket.—(Cheers.) In the opinion that the payment of wages ac cor di ng to supposed wants was most degrading to the labourer, and would reduce him to a condition very little better than that of a slave, he was borne out by the late Rev. Dr. Arnold, to whom the improvement of th e wor ki ng classes was an object more p, T r , ec i he ou sthan principlea n y u f otherru making in k i t u h g e w u o p r d . wanesD r. Arnold, in a letter .to the edit or o f a Sheffield o p u ap t e of th r sai:_c:l,poor-rates (alluding to the old practice) is, in fact, under the mask o f kindness to the p oor , one o f the most degrading systems of oppression. When they are paid, not according to their industry and skill, but according to their wants—when, fo r th e same spec i es of labour, one man rece ives only one-half th e wee kl y wages of another, not because his work is worth less, but be. cause ho is a single man, we are so far advanced towards a state of slavery. The slave, lik e one o f the domestic se rvants, being one of his master's prop er t y, rece i ves, whether the profits of his labour be small or great, as much, and only asm%h, as is sufficient to su pp ort hi m in tolerable condition. He wished to impress forcibly on th© minds of the farmers of England, that their prin cipal object ought to be to make the labourers indepen dent, and they could only make them independent by giving them wages, not according to the price of corn— not according to supposed wants—but according to the work they had done.—(llear.)—Devizes Gazette.

The Chamber deferred the discussion to another opportunity. The Chamber then commenced the discussion of the budget of ways and means. An amendment of M. Eloy de Burdelle, who proposed to lay on foreign sugar the duty of three additional centimes, was not adopted. M. Rodenbach renewed, on occasion of the article relative to the duties on spi rituous liquors, the objection which he has frequently made to the injurious way in which that duty falls on th,.. petty retailer. His observations were supported by M Verlayen, but the Minister declared that it was impos sible to comply with them. The sitting was concluded by the observations of seve ral Members on the necessity of raising the tariffs of the tolls. The Minister of Finance assured them that it was impossible, on account of the multiplicity of duties which must be considered in order to draw up a project of law for such a revisal. "It is a useful labour," said the Minister, " which can only be introduced gradually, and I shall propose in a few days a project of law for the revisal of the tariffs of the tolls on the Lower Sombre." At the commencement of the sitting M. Delelaye and M. Rodenbach warmly insisted on the urgent necessity of the vote of 1,200,000 francs for the immediate relief of the prevailing distress. It appears that the Central Section will propose to augment the vote of credit to 1,500,000 francs. M. Nothomb, the Minister Plenipotentiary at Ber lin, arrivr'd at Brussels, and was to day in his place in the Chamber. A ♦ery deplorable event—a real drama in two acts, with a most tragical termination—took place yesterday in this city. Two women were going to enter the church of Finnisterre very early in the morning, when a discharge of fire-arms was heard, and at the same moment a man ran away at full speed. He had just fired a pistol almost point blank at one of the women. Providentially the assassin had failed in his object. The shot was intended for his wife, who was going to the church with her sister; the bullet only grazed the bonnet of her sister-in-law, and just touched her hair. The author of this criminal attempt stopped at some distance at the corner of a street, and there madly blew out his own brains, and instantly expired. We have inquired into the causes which induced this man to commit this double crime. We have learned the following particulars :—ln consequence of a deeply rooted animosity the wife had applied for a divorce, the proceedings had been commenced, and the witnesses were to appear yesterday before the magistrate, to give their evidence of the facts brought forward in slpport of the application for a divorce. The melancholy event which we have just recorded has put an end to this un happy matrimonial conflict in so suddea and deplorable a manner. TRIESTE, Nov. 30.—Lloyd's steamer, the Impertore, which left here on the 20th, encountered very stormy weather, and near the Punta Grossa its machinery sus tained injury, which induced the captain to return to Trieste, which he reached yesterday. The passengers, goods, &c., will be conveyed to Alexandria in another steamer. VIENNA, DEC. I.—Prince Metternich has been seri ously ill for some weeks past with feverish excitements, frequently interrupted by a complete prostration, which prevents his lying in bed, and obliges him to pass whole nights on his couch. When these attacks come on the Prince is often heard to say, " If Igo to bed I shall never rise again." VIENNA, DEC. 2.—His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Alexander left this city yesterday at half past eight, to return to St. Petersburgh. The object of his visit was to condole with the Grand Duchess Helene, on the part of the Emperor, on the death of the Grand Duchess Maria. The Grand Duchess Helene has been indisposed for some days past. Twelve Russians (Tscherkessen) have arrived here, who are to convey the mortal remains of the Grand Duchess Maria to St. Petersburgh.

A lecture on agricultural draining was delivered yester day at this establishment, by Dr. Bullock Webster, illus trated by a number of tiles, pipes, and other means for drawing off from the surface water which now generally impedes the fertility of a large portion of the soil of the United Kingdom. In the course of his observations, the lecturer insisted on the folly of deep draining, especially on strong and tenacious soils. His impression was, that a drain of four or five feet in depth was quite sufficient to render the land within twenty feet on either side of it sufficiently dry to fit it for the best crops. He insisted especially on the advisability of filling up whatever excavations might be made with porus stuff instead of with the orignal soil. The small pipes lately employed were, in Dr. Webster's opinion, totally useless for anything like an effectual drainage, for their joints might be dislocated either by the contraction or by the upheaving of a clay soil, and, in his opinion, the better plan would he to substitute a pipe of one-and-a-half by two-and-a-half inches, divided longitudinally, so that the upper half of the pipe might be placed midway over the joints of the lower half, and thus dislocation would be altogether prevented, and the water allowed free course. The best system of drainage is that which allows the superffib,us water to be drawn off, and secures the whole of the ammonia and other nutri tious qualities of the moisture w hich falls from the clouds. By the use of a proper tile that would be effected. The Romans made open water courses, and then laid in them bones, horns, and bushes, but all these substances are subject to decay and require renewal, while, on the other hand, for an extra expense of about 10s., an acre effective tiles might be obtained. In some parts of the country peat is used as well as bushes, and the lecturer would allow that, where the landlord would not permit tile draining, either might be a good substitute. Again, in other parts, fir poles, and heath, and stones, are used, and though any of these might do where the work was well done, they are all objectionable ; stone drainage especially, though the best of the three, is, in Dr. Webster's opinion, more expensive than tiles. One great obstacle also, which is experienced by tenant-farmers, arises from the presence of ash trees, which are apt to thrust their roots into the drains and stop them. At the request of the Duke of Richmond, the lecturer exhibited part of the root of an ash tr ee, about the size of a man's arm, which he had taken kind, of his Grace drain at Strathfieldsaye.

Be was led to make this observation from having seen t car boniferous on Sir Robert Peel's estate at Drayton. the various forms of tiles used for drainage, the lecturer observed that no one plan could be adopted for every country, for the nature of the subsoil is in every respect to be considered; but in all the books the most eminent men in different parts of the coun try, he found that deep draining in stiff soils is always injudicious. The lecturer had a numerous and attentive audience, and was loudly and repeatedly cheered through out his observations. that had • „ A Paw THINGS TO AVOID.—A bottle of wine at a public dinner ; a short cut when you are in a hurry ; metaphysics at five o'clock in the morning ; walking between two umbrellas on a pouring wet day ; a man who carries bill -stamps in his pocketbook ; " just an other glass before you go ;" taking a pocket telescope or oranges to the Opera, or asking for a bill of the pla) ; sitting next to the orchestra when they are playing one of llalevy's light operas ; going into a church without a shilling ; being the mediator of a quarrel between a man and his wife ; bowing to a lady from the top of an om nibus ; and taking a new hat to an evening party.— Almanack of the Month.

THE SHANNON STEAM-PACKET. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 10.—Most of the passengers from London and Southampton in the Shannon steam-packet left here on Monday for Falmouth and Dublin by the Duke of Cornwall, Captain Kempston. The Rose, screw-propeller, has been taken up by the British and Irish Steam-packet Company, and is expected to call here to-day for the Falmouth and Dublin goods saved from the fire on board the Shannon. Mr. Astle, the managing director of the company, arrived yesterday from Dublin to superintend the arrangements consequent upon the accident. On Tuesday, Mr. W. B. Cuming, Lloyd's surveyor, Mr. Pope, an experienced shipowner, and Mr. Clark, the Plymouth agent, made an official inspection of the Shannon. The forward beams and flooring of her cabin are destroyed, and her mainmast and aft pumps partially burnt. A man-hole was cut in the cabin floor near the stern, and here, although the upper part of the cargo (hops) were uninjured by fire, the goods, which were well stowed, had settled nearly two feet, in consequence of the burning of the forward and lower portion. The ship's frame below her water bearing appears to have suffered so little that it is contemplated to take her to Dublin (where her proprietors possess an extensive re pairing establishment) for complete renovation, after giving her a temporary repair here. It is difficult to estimate the entire cost of these repairs, but they cannot fall much short of 1,0001. Her cabin furniture is partly destroyed, and the remainder injured. The damage to the cargo will, it is feared, range from 10,0001 to 15,0001 There is about 30 tons of wasted goods totally destroyed, comprising tea, tobacco, coffee, rice, peas, vetchseed, fruit, hops, pimento, perfumery, military clothing. stationery, envelopes, elegantly bound English and foreign books, &c. Among the rest is a box capable of holding 12 bottles, only two of which, containing aquafortis, are perfect. Some have imagined this dangerous liquid to have originated the fire, parti cularly as no flame of any consequence appeared long after its commencement. Her cargo included three very valuable bales of raw yellow silk in skeins, for an Irish poplin manufactory, the whole of which is considerably damaged. About 20 casks of brandy and wine for Dub lin are saved, and seven boxes, containing 2cwt. each of specie, valued at 5,0001., have been safely lodged in the charge of Mr. Morris, manager of the Plymouth branch of the Bank of England. A large portion of the specie consisted of fourpeney pieces, destined for Ireland, to pay labourers and others on the railway works. SUICIDE OF MAJOR EAMES, OF THE 47ra FOOT. An inquest was held last evening at the P r i nce of Wales Hotel, Leicesttr-Place, Leicester-square, before Mr. Bedford, on the body of Major R. F. Eames, aged forty-five, lately residing at No. 61, Jermyn.strcet, St. James's. Ann Linfield, chambermaid at the above hotel, said that the deceased came into the front hall at n i ne o ' clock on Wednesday morning last, and clFm anded a chamber. Having shown him to a room up stairs, he called for pen, ink, and paper, and sat down to write. At three o'clock she again went up stairs to see if he wanted anything, but she cauld obtain no answer to her repeated knocks at the door. At length she entered the room, and found him lying dead across the fender, with a pistol by his side. She heard no rt port of fire-arms, but even if she had she should have paid no attention to it, as there was a s hooting-gallery at the back. Mr. Robert Cross, surgeon, of No. 21, Leicester square, said he was immediately called to the deceased. He found a pistol shot wozind over the sixth rib, in the region of the heart. The ball had broken the rib, and buried itself in the heart, so that death must have been instantaneous. The vest, flannel, and shirt had been opened, and he thought the deceased had pressed the muzzle of the pistol close to his body. There was another loaded pistol on the table. William Ling, gunmaker, of No. 61, Jerruyn-street, said the deceased had resided in his house for the last fortnight, but he had known him for some time before. He was whimsical in his manner. He left home shortly before nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, saying that he should be back to breakfast. He bad held the rank of major in the 47th Foot, but lately was unattached. Witness could not in any way account for the act the deceased had committed. After some further evidence, the inquest was adjourned in order that the deceased's friends and relations might be communicated with. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—MANCHESTER, FRIDAY. —Last evening Juhn Bright, Esq, NI.P., met his general committee, at Hayward's Hotel, where they mustered in considerable strength, and received him with great enthusiasm. George Wilson, Esq., presided. The chairmen of the various committees proceeded to give in their reports as to the result of the canvass, so far as it had gone. Mr. Bright was then called upon, and was received with enthusiastic applause. Having addressed the meeting at some length, Mr. W. Shuttle worth wished to put a question. He wished to know from Mr. Bright himself, in the presence of this assem bly, whether or not, how far, in principle, he differed from Mr. Cobden on such great national questions as now occupy public attention. Mr. Bright replied that this was a difficult question to answer, because it was known that even the best friends had a difficulty in arriving at a correct estimate of each other's opinions upon some questions. He observed that while in Par liament, during three years, they 11,:d only voted in dif ferent lobbies once, and that on the Maynooth Grant ; and from all he knew of Cobden's principles, were Mr. Cobden a candidate for any borough in which he had any influence or power to serve him, there was no man he should be disposed to make more strenuous or un- tiring exertions for than he should for him.—(Cheers.) The meeting gave three enthusiastic cheers for Mr. Bright, and then separated. RUNNING MATCH FOR TWENTY POUNDS.—Yester day afternoon Brooks and Kirby, of London, ran their two hundred yards' foot-race in the Waterloo-road.

It was plenty not deceased's duty to uncouple the carriages, as the guard was at the proper place to do so. There . was lii the tunnel at the time. Verdict— " Accidental death." THE LOR D C HAMBERLAIN AND THE MINOR THEATRES.—A correspondence h as f o r some time past been going on between the Lord Chamberlain and the managers of some of the minor theatres in reference to an order from the Lord Chamberlain against the recent reduction of prices of admission. Mr. Cooper, of the City of Lond on Theatre, was told that if he persisted in the reduction o f prices the Lord Chamberlain would interfere, and Mr. Cooper co nsequently closed the house . The manager s say that is unfair to interfere with them when the dramatic performances at saloons and other licensed places are l eft uncontro ll e d, with the power also of selling wines and spirits. The last communication was a letter fr om the Lord Chamberlain's office, desiring play bills from all licensed places to be sent there every week. THE ROYAL STAGLIOUNDS.—In consequence of the sharp frost which set in on Thursday night, together with a fall of snow at an early hour in the morning, the royal staghounds were not able to hunt yesterday. W e are happy to be enabled to state that Earl Granville is so far recovered from his recent accident as to lead to the impressi on th at h i s L or d s hip will be able to resume . duties in the course of the ensuing week. FERNIOY UNION. The following resolutions were read, and unanimously agreed to (4th of March, 1846)-- Re.olved, that in our opinion the Poor Relief Act, as far as its principles of providing for the support of the really destitute, has conferred great benefits on the coun try, though they are not as )et commensurate with its cost. That we conceive it requires many amenonsents. That we fully coincide in the propriety of providing for the relief of the aged, the sick, and the otherwise destitute. That it has but in a very trifling degree relieved the country from strolling beggars. That notwithstanding we believe that very few have been relieved in this house but the really destitute. That from an experience of five years we d eclare that seeking relief in a workhouse is nearly a sufficient test of pauperism. That the fifty-eighth section of the Relief Act should be so amended as to give guardians discretionary power to permit members of a family to seek for employment, in order to enable them to support their families "inde pendently ;" persons enjoying this permission to give security to return within a given time. That one of the greatest objections to the Poor Law made by the ratepayers is the continued and increasing pressure of mendicancy. That another great objection to workhouse relief, and one of much practical difficulty, is, the condition of the children growing into men and women in the establish ment. That in eur opinion this may be met to a certain ex tent by a sound system of industrial training. That to carry out this principle a greater extent of ground than the present limit of twelve acres would be required. That a well qualified agriculturist should be employed for the purpose of training the boys in field labour, to which alone inmates of workhouses should be trained. That they should be particularly taught the system best suited to small allotments. That they should use only the best implements of hand labour. That with a view to make the girls useful servants, and anxious to earn an independent support, they should be taught all plain works suited to their strength. That to prepare them for the change likely to be made in the dietary of our labouring classes, they should be taught the simplest and cheapest modes of cooking coarse flour, meal, and vegetables. That emigration, particularly for female paupers, should be encouraged, simplifying the mode of providing the necessary funds. Say, money to be advanced for this purpose on certi ficates signed by the guardians of the divisions charge able and seven rate payers of same of a given amount. That we protest against the transmission of Irish panders from England, after a long industrial residence there. That power should be given to guardians to advance small sums to travelling paupers, who may obtain means of support or employment in their native union, though they may otherwise remain chargeable to the poor rate. That, waiving the necessity of a Law of Settlement, a better definition of chargeability of paupers is required ; and that a readjustment of the electoral divisions with a view to the formation of fever hospital districts, ought to be recommended. That we are of opinion that the rate is not at present equitably divided amongst all parties interested in the property rated. That mortgages and annuities ought to bear a propor tion of the support of the poor. That persons receiving rents, or otherwise beneficially interested in such, payable from public buildings now exempt, ought to pay the full poundage rate on such rents. That owners in fee of turbaries, and all others deriv ing profit from them, where turf is sold, should be rated. That in appointing rate collectors, guardians ought not to be compelled to give preference to high constables : the practiae in this district of employing persons for smaller districts having been most beneficial. That we recommend an amendment of the ninety-third section, so as to render it impossible to have any prose cution under it without first obtaining the sanction of the Pour Law Commissioners. That in order to insure the better attendance of guar dians on whom it is probable still more onerous duties will devolve, we recommend that no guardians who shall not have attended at least once within a calendar month shall have a voice in any question moved in the month next suceceding. That any guardian who shall not have attended a fourth in number of the ordinary meetings within each year, shall not be re-eligible for the succeeding year. That further to insure attendance, where sufficient cause cannot be shown for non-attendance, any guardian who shall not attend at least once in each month shall be fined 2s. 6d. for each day of absence, the fine to be re covered from his electoral division, and applied to a fund for travelling paupers. BONDED GOODS.—lnconvenience having been ex perienced from the frequent changes of the masters of exporting ships, after bond has been given for the ship ment, &c., of goods, and the solicitor having reported that the insertion of the master's name is not essential to the validity of the bond, orders have been issued by the Customs' authorities that the name of the master be in future omitt-K1 altogether in such bonds, of which the officers of the revenue at the various docks and deport ments in the port, and the collectors and comptrollers of the Customs at the several outport: of the United King dom, have been apprised for their future government in the matter. THE LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM, CLAPTON.—MT. Samuel Crickmar, senior clerk and book-keeper to the eminent firm of Messrs. Ralli Brothers, of Finsbury circus, lately died at Southgate from an attack of erysi pelas, leaving property amounting to about 5,0002 to the above excellent charity, after the death of his widow and brother, who will enjoy the interest thereon during their lives. Tho deceased was for many years a resident at Hackney, in the vicinity of the asylum, and we be lieve this noble act was quite unanticipated on the part he ever given of th e i nst i tution, to none of the officers of which had the slightest intimation of his generous intention. JusTICR TO THE POOR.—It is to be regretted that, in all public improvements, and the opening of new lines of streets, the comfort of the poor and industrious classes is nut considered, as well as the architectural improve ment in the town. It is found that these great streets have not been formed without an increase of misery amongst the poor, who were previously the occupiers of the ground, and it seems never to have occurred to any one, that there was a most favourable opportunity for building dwellings on some principle such as we have before recommended. It is to be hoped that no future occasion will be allowed to pass, of doing a simple act of justice to those who ere at present suffering from the results of late "improvements." Like certain attempts at ventilation, which perhaps attain their object, but at the expense of health, those streets have purified bad neighbourhoods, shortened distances, and added to the appearance of the town, to inflict upon those who were already sufficiently wretched, evils innumerably greater than any which the promoters have removed from thorn. selves. —The Builder.
