political knaveries, at once complex and systematic, by which Ireland has been cursed for some years past, be not already in its outline pretty well understood throughout the empire. In fraud, no less than in other walks of industry, experience has shown to its practitioners the expediency of employing a division of labour towards producing one grand and harmonious result. The Irish gang of swindlers, therefore, have formed themselves into two sections, who play adroitly into each other's hands—the first of which disturbs the nation by an unceasing outcry about what it calls " grievances," while the second shares the public money with the shouters, and that it calls " redress of grievances. "The first of these confederate bands, again, are the " patriots," who, without saying " by your leave, or with your leave," have christened themselves " the people of Ireland." The second are those mem bers of the Whig Rump Administration, whose parti sans and accomplices out of doors have been used to celebrate them as the " Liberal Government of Ire land." There is one quality common to them both—far more lawfully their own, indeed, than the food which they devour, or the houses they inhabit, or the clothes that cover them, or the cash which, quarterly, they pocket—to wit, an amouut of impudence more immea surable than ever before presented itself to human ob servation. Under all the noise and dust which these many-coloured cheats arc for ever stirring to deafen and blind, and throw the community off its guard, the main truth at the bottom of the whole has long since been detected—namely, that there is neither patriotism in those who clamour against grievances, nor liberality in those who profess to cure them—that there exists not the shadow of principle on either side, but that the real gravamen with both is unappeased cupidity—that the support claimed from the " patriots" by the Rump, on condition of redressing grievances, and promised by the said patriots to the said Rump on the same ostensi ble understanding, is all parcel of the one code of base and villainous hypocrisy !—the real pledge being one of thick and thin support by patriotic votes, in return for profuse patronage by Liberal Ministers in the shape of public money, and the en tire scheme beine simply one for " rdsing the wind," after the fashion of a gen tleman extensively known by the name of " Jeremy Dildler." A correspondent, whose means of information Lave enabled hint to nnkennel no small numher of those mysteries which the craftsmen holding office and aspiring to it would fain wrap up, like so many gem's, in cotton—writes us an exposition of that branch of Irish proceeding to which we have adverted, well worthy of universal notice. In his article, the patriots —or, to use their own term, the " people of Ireland" —undergo a surgical process, which may considerably advance the cause of political science. The dissecting knife is dexterously applied to the whole band of S 3-- called " Irish Refono:l-s," and we scarcely think that any museum in Europe exhibits a finer preparation than our friend and correspondent has produced. " Agi ta•ion," quoth he, " is kept up by a very limited class of persons in each county. Theee men are the orators and leaders at repeal myetin,;s, anti tithe assemblages, corporation questions, and, above all, at elections, or at tae re gistrations with a view to the elections. They mire chiefly attornies and mid llemen ; the. former are looking for office through the influence of the Radical and O'Connell members, whose creatures they are ; the latter hope to SeiZ 0. on the constabutarg situa tions as their particular source of emohunent and plunder." Now, we ask, could a more strikingly just or graphic description be imagined of the true gri.ius and moving power of Irish Liberalism, and cotepressed into fewer words ? Fer " three tailors in Tooley-street," who placarded themselves as " we the people of England," read " three pettifoggers in Tipperary," or " three landserews in Kerry," and you have at Once the toaster-key to the " misgovern nenit of Ireland for seven centuries," " the oppres t:ion and persecution of the whole Irish race." and the " intolerable suarings of seven millions of people." It is accurately nothing more than a mo dern adaptation to present circumstances of those old instruments of extortion the " sturdy beggars" of Ire land, who gained their livelihood by wandering over the country whining to the powerful and bullying the feeble, but who now, after a mere change of costume, appear in the guise of agitators, rebel associators, radical Nitnts, electioneering ruffians, horsewhipping priests, stipendiary O'Connellists, Tipperary rhetoricians, and the voluminous tribe of turbulent and hungry Papists, disgracing a creed which is none of the best by diabolical practices, which, so far from enjoining, that creed, in words at least, if not in spirit and in truth, prohibits. Such is the e_ennine character of that sys tem of which Mr. Daniel O'Connell and Mr. Richard Shiel are now the organs, or, more properly speaking, the bellows ; it is falsehood, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and treachery, from its first inception, to the only con summation which it meditates, and which it dares not avow. The allusion of our correspondent to the fila cership of the Irish Exchequer, recently bestowed on one of the local wasps of agitation, of the name of Power, connected, in some way or other, with that lo quacious patriot, Mr. Lalor Shed, affords matter for reflection, though not very novel matter, upon the prin ciple of government which now prevails in Ireland. A Repealer, a tithe agitator, an electioneering jackall of Mr. Tipperary Sheil, a man with neither talents nor propensities, but for selfish aggrandizement through mischievous exertions—this man is made filacer of the Queen's Court of Exchequer, with a salary of 800/. a-year. It is insinuated by our correspondent that the Plunket interest has on the occasion succumbed to that of Mr. Richard Sheil—a contingency not, we suppose, contemplated by the Learned Lord when he stood up so perseveringly for the Catholic Bill, or swallowed so successfully his qualms about Irish Parliamentary Reform. We recommend the whole subject treated of by our correspondent to the attention of sober-minded men.—Times. In recurring to the subject of juvenile delinquency, which, from its continually growing increase, has be gun to attract such general attention, it is impossible not to be struck by the singular fact, that the little which has been done in the shape of reform and pre vention has been wholly the work of individuals, and that, as far as the Government and Legislature are concerned, " how to punish!' has been the sole object of their attention. It is of the nature of things that the dense population of the metropolis, and other large towns, should produce the evil we are discussing, and it is impossible for the most casual observer to pass through the lanes, streets, and alleys of London and Westminster, and their suburbs, without seeing crowds of children, on whom parental care is little, if at all, bestowed, and who are, on the contrary, train ing up to those paths of wickedness which render them, in early life, a curse rather than a blessing to their country. Among the charities for which this metropolis is so renowned, there is more than one supported wholly by voluntary contributions, which is dedicated to the protection and reform of these unfortunate children. And when we see the good which individuals, with their slen der means, are capable of effecting, it surely be comes a question as well of policy as of duty, whether the Government might not be better employed in following up and enlarging upon these admirable institutions—such as the Marine Society, the Philan thropic, the Refuge for the Destitute, &c., than in merely discussing whether children shall he tried by magistrates or juries, and whether they shall he con signed to prisons in London, the Isle of Wight, Dart moor, or the hulks. Considering how fragile even the parental tie is too often found to be, it would, perhaps, be a dangerous principle to recognise, that the State should adopt all the children who, from poverty, vice, or any other cause, are neglected by their parents ; yet it becomes, on the other hand, not merely a question of duty, but •of policy and pi udence, whether it is not wiser in the State to hold out an early hand of protec tion to such children, than to wait till, as criminals, they become expensive objects of its vengeance. In the present age of statistics, we should like to see a calculation of what the expense would be of making our juvenile delinquents good and useful members of society, compared with what it costs to maintain them in gaols and as transports, together with a separate head of the tax upon society of each one's pl un d er . It seems undeniable, then, that the care of a large proportion of children who become criminal of neee: , - devolves upon the Government. When they reach that point the parental tie, at all events, becomes dis solved ; and it is surely then well worthy of considA-a tion whether the care of the Government should not occur much sooner, and become of a very different cha racter to what it is, especially when we bear in mind that our present vindictive proceedings are taken against those who have, for the most part, been ori ginally led into error and vice from no fault of their own ; and that they contained, if earlier attended to, the seeds of private virtue and of public usefulness. Instead, then, of appointing a Parliamentary Com mittee to inquire into various modes of punishing, liuw much better would the Government and Parlia ment be employed in devising means of preventing an accession to the costly and increasing host of juvenile delinquents, and of reforming and reclaiming those who, in spite of every effort, will still become such. They have before them, as we have already said, proofs of what individual exertion and individual funds can do towards these desirable objects. We are shy, after our recent experience, of recommending Com missions, but still we think that out of the many ex cellent and intelligent persons who belong to the institutions we have alluded to, a Board might, at a very small expense to the country, be formed. whose deliberations and suggestions upon the subject would prove of infinite value and importance, and from whom a plan might emanate of accomplishing that upon a large scale which they have so successfully carried on upon small ones.—Morning Herald. The Government prints have announced that the Queen has been pleased to bestow on Mr. George Villiers, the British Minister at Madrid, the Grand Cross of the Bath. We are sorry that her Majesty's Ministers have advised the Queen to confer so proud a distinction on a public servant so little deserving of the honour. In the name of common sense, what has Mr. Villiers done in Spain to call for this unnecessary display of favour ? He has failed in every part of his mission, and, through ignorance, or the love of mis chief, has reduced the cause he was sent out to uphold to the lowest possible ebb. Never has there been in the diplomacy of this country a more contemptible ex hibition than Mr. George Villiers has made ; and it really seems as if Queen Victoria's Government was desirous of holding him forth as the laughing-stock of the whole diplomatic circle, by investing him with Honours as a " sequel to his Spanish policy." ' Surely it must he with that object the Grand Cross of the Bath has been sent out. Lord Palmerston is de termined to follow the example of the Minis ters of Donna Isabel, anti as they have loaded their beaten officers with crosses and orders in proportion to their demerits, so he burthens Mr. Vil hers with a decoration so unworthily earned. The starving wretches from the British Legion who lately appeared at the Mansion-house had each their bit of rihband to display, which Mendizabal had given them in lieu of more solid remuneration. Is it possible that his Lordship is treating Mr. Villiers after the same fashion ? Is this young Protector's career to be cut short with this single decoration ? Is he to be turned over to the public compassion as the disgraced and de corated champion of Spanish constitutional liberty ? Mr. Villiers is a very respectable man in private life. but without talent, nerve, or knoWledge—totalle un fitted for the mission which lie was promoted to over the heads of older and abler men. The family title which awaits him would have been a sufficient distinc tion in the retired life which of necessity he must be consigned to when his Peninsular campaign is at an end, and it is only exposing in the most remarkable manner his frailties to force upon him a badge of ho nour which has hitherto been reserved for those who really distinguished themselves in the service of their country.—Morrring Post. The third report of the new Poor-law Commie sioners has just made its appearance. It is a work which must put to silence the opponents of that mea sure ; for anything more conclusive as to its salutary operation could not have been desired by its greatest friends and most strenuous supporters. It appears at a most seasonable time, as it triumphantly exposes, by the unanswerable logic of figures and of facts, the mis representations made at the late elections as to the working of the measure by the enemies of Ministers. Of the conduct of the Tories on that occasion in en deavouring to embarrass Lord Melbourne, by appealing to the worst and most powerful prejudices of the lower classes on the subject of the new Poor-law Bill, we cannot trust ourselves to speak in such language as the circumstances of the case would justify. They had the baseness first to ascribe effects to that measure which it had never pro duced, and then to represent the Melbourne Mi nistry as being alone responsible for it. They had, we repeat, the unparalleled profligacy to do this, while they knew, as well as we did, that the New Poor-law Amendment Act was a measure which had no con nexion whatever with party politics, but was as zea lously supported by the Duke of Wellington and others of the leading Tories in both Houses, as it was by Ministers themselves. The delusion which these per sons have so long laboured, and with some degree of success, to practise on the lower classes, will be dissi pated for ever by the Report before us. It proves to demonstration, that the New Poor-law measure is pro ducing the most beneficial results in every place within the sphere of its operation. Not only has it already reduced the poor-rates to the extent of nearly one-half of what they were under the old system, and thus re lieved the property and industry of the country from a pressure which threatened their destruction, but it has at the same time raised the moral character of the poor themselves. It has inspired them with notions of independence, and taught them to trust to their own labour and their own resources, rather than degrade themselves in their own eyes, and in the estimation of every one else, by throwing themselves as paupers on the funds of the parish. It has impressed them with a sense of the injury done to their means, as well as to their morals, by debasing indulgences, and instilled into their minds principles of steadiness and economy. It has, in one word, effected, or is in the course of effecting, one of the greatest and most beneficial moral revolutions recorded in the history of the world. The Whigs have been charged with the want of moral courage, and of the decision of character anti energy requisite to carry their views into effect. Never was there a more unfounded accusation. If they had done nothing more in the six or seven years they have been in office than the carrying of the Poor-law Amend ment Act, that of itself would have been sufficient, not only to prove them the greatest benefactors of their country, but that they possess a moral courage and energy of character which have never been sur passed by any other Government in this or any other nation.—Morning Advertiser. LEIPSIC, OcT. 7.---Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdv, decorated with the laurels gained on the Rhine, in Lon don, and in Birmingham, was received with enthusiastic applause at our first subscription concert on Sunday last by his friends and the many judges of music now assembled here. This compliment was partly intended as an acknow ledgment of his prompt appearance among us, and of the sacrifice of a benefit concert offered him in London, but which would have interfered with his duties as musical composer. A new telegraph has been invented in Austria by a M. Kieninger. It is an acoustic telegraph, consisting of a tube in the form of a speaking trumpet six feet five inches long, which conveys the sound in 11 and 1-10th seconds to a distance of 12,000 feet. A trial made of this instrument at Vienna proved i very satisf ac t or y. Th e Go vernment intends to employ tin the army for the purpose of conveying military orders to troops dispersed over a great tract of land, &c.—National. REVERSING AN OLD -PROVERB.—One of the Owenite tracts, just published, is devot e d to a di squ i s i tion on an infallible method of making a pleasure of a toil, in other words, of rendering work a matter of amusement. The Mendicity Society seem to have discovered this grand secret ; for on the placards which they circulate about the 'streets, cautioning the humane against the im positions of street-beggars, they announce that deserving objects, on application at the Society's offices, are " supplied with food, work, or other relief." The Diario di Roma complains bitterly of the articles in the Al*limbic Zeilunq on the appearance of Rome during the cholera time. The Allgemeine Zeitumg, however, in reply, gives it pretty plainly to be understood, that it places more reliance on its own correspondent than on the semi-official contradiction in the Diario. At a fleeting of the Merchant Company held on Monday, it was unanimously resolved that a memorial should he presented to Government, urging upon them the policy of bas,ing a survey made, under the direction of the Ordnance, of the best line for a Railway wherewith to con nect the capital of Scotland with one of the great leading English lines, now being constructed.—Scotsman.

The average price of Muscovado Sugar, from the returns made in the week ending the 17th of Oct., 1837, is 355. Bd. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Importa tion thereof into Great Britain. Biberich, the seat of the Duke of Nassau upon the Rhine, is to be made a port, for the first time, and Cob lentz, with the consent of Prussia, is to be declared a free port. The railroad from Mayence to Frankfort has been at last sanctioned ; and it was expected in Germany that these various measures would greatly promote the trade of the Rhine. Reports were lately in circulation that the cholera and the plague had appeared simultaneously in Hungary. There seems to have been one auspicious case at Esseg, but i►t has not been followed by any serious consequences. MARKET INTELLIGENCE ( From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.-We have still to report a brisk and improving Market for British Plantation ; the deficiency in the stock and the improved state of the Refined trade that has given the buyers increased confidence; there has been a good demand from both the grocers and refiners, and an advance on previous prices of 6d. to Is. has been established ; sales of dry brown Berbice at 565. to 575. Demerara and 'I rieidad rather better at 575. 6d. to 58s. ; St. Kitts, Jamaica, and from other islands mid. yellow at 58s. 6d. to 615., good 625. to 645., fine 655. to 665. ; of Barbadoes there has been no public sale, but 120 hhds. will be brought forward on Tuesday next ; the deliveries for consumption still continue to exceed those of 1836, and last week were 260 hhds and trs. more than at the corresponding period of last year ; the arrivals since our last have been 1,817 hhds. and 395 trs., which are rather heavier than at the same period a twelvemonth ago, so that by the next returns the deficiency in the stock will be much the same as on Tuesday last, when it was 1,041 trs. 11,998 hhds. and 1,091 barrels less than last year. This day previous prices were fully maintained, but there was less business doing, refiners as well as grocers pur chasing rather sparingly ; the purchases for the week arc 3,100 hhds. and trs. Refined goods have been much wanted ; there has been a good disposition evinced on the part of the grocers and ship pers to purchase even at an advance on previous rates of Is., but the demand has been rather checked by the limited supply at market; Lumps for the scale have been taken readily at 755. for those rather under and 765. for those passing the standard; several sales of double Crushed made at 355., at which there are further buyers, but no sellers under 355. 6d., and even very little is to be purchased for immediate delivery at that price; large and small Lumps have been improved in value to 725. to 745. ; Bastardshave been taken freely at previous rates; pieces have sold readily, and the supply of both has become short. Treacle has sold with spirit at former quotations. Dutch Crushed Sugar is held for 335. ; there has been some enquiry, and 325. freely offered and refused. This afternoon there were considerable enquiries, particularly from the grocers, and higher prices were obtained, Lumps passing the standard selling at 775., and those rather under at 765. Treacle and Bastards in brisk demand at rather higher prices. MAURITIUS.-This article has participated in the briskness with West India ; there has been a good business doing pri vately at 6d. to ls. advance on previous rates ; and 74ebage, at auction, sold briskly at a similar improvement-mid. and good heavy brown went at 535. to 545. 6d., low and mid. yellow 565. 6d. to 585., good 625. 6d. to 645. Nothing is advertised for public sale, and there have been no arrivals ; those remaining unsold in first hands consist principally of mid. and good yellow descriptions, and of which we have had very few samples amongst the late arrivals. EAST INDIA.-For Bengal there has been a good demand privately for the scale at ls. advance on previous prices; none has been offered at auction; the stock is now 7,590 bags against 14,142 bags at the corresponding period of last year ; in Manilla and Siam there hare been no transactions, the wants of the buyers having been supplied for the present, but the supply at market being short there is no disposi tion evinced to submit to lower prices ; 517 bags of the former and 180 casks of the latter are advertised for auc tion on Tuesday next, besides 750 bags brown and 358 bags , white Bengal at the 245. duty. This afternoon Bengal was in brisk demand by the grocers, and 1,700 bags duty paid at public sale sold with spirit at rather higher prices, fine and very fine white at 675. 6d. to 705., good 665. to 665. 6d., mid. 655. to 655. 6d., damps, 645. to 695. FOREIGN.-The market has become very uninteresting; there has been nothing doing in either ' Havannah or Brazil, but the supply being short, there is no disposition evinced on the part of importers to submit to lower prices; for some lots of low mid. white of the former 38s. has been offered and re fused, 40s. being required ; there has been arrivals of 330 chests of Bahia and 2,500 chests Havannah. This afternoon at auction 197 chests Bahia were brought forward, the princi pal part was taken in at previous rates, good white at 30a. a 31s. 6:1., ord. and mid. 255. a 285., mid. yellow 255., fine brown 20s 6d. to 21s. ; a few lots went at the valuations, good and fine brown 19s. to 205., mid. at 17s. to 18s. 6d., washed 15s. 6d. to 195., mid. white washed at 265.

Dunlop, of Leith, who had embezzled sums to the amount of 4501., and subsequently absconded,was reported to have come to this town, and engaged a passag e , to the United States. The constabulary went in se arch, an.. in a short time they succeeded in tracing L aird to the Bel fast Hotel, Ritchie's-dock, where they captured him, ttrao ' gether with a female named Euphemia Bain, who bad yelled with him and passed as his wife. It wa s found tbat he intended proceeding to Charleston, and fo r that pur pose had embarked his luggage on board the Arapokel, then in the river, for that port. The circumstance of that vessel having been detained for a day or two proved very fortunate for the ends of justice, as the fellow would other wise have had such a start of his pursue rs as would ha ve ren tiered detection impossible. Only 701. of the plunder b.as, been recovered. He and his paramour we re last vigw. il' transmitted in the custody of the Scotch officer to Glasgo —Belfast Northern Whig. the THE WEATHER.—During the last fortn i g ht weather in this quarter has been delightful. The coldness in natural to the present season begins to be slightly felt the mornings and evenings ; but the air, while The brigb t e s un Is up, is of a mild and agreeable temperature. bly sunny days we have lately enjoyed, have been a gree a followed, during the last week, by fine moonlig ht nights. In consequence of the clearness of our atmosphere, the istinetlY whole progress of the lunar eclipse on Friday wa s d seen by the inhabitants of Edinburgh and neighbo ur hood ; while we learn that in various other parts of the country the sky was so obscured by clouds as to render it scarab' visible. Notwithstanding, however, the excellen ce of the weather, it is easy to perceive that the face of the countrY is gradually losing its rich, animated appearance. The l anes and roadsides are now strewed with and y elloW leaves, while the trees and hedgerows are beginning } assume that bleak and naked aspect which reminds es approaching winter. In all circles, too, there are preparai Lions making for the cold, long nights.
