business of Government, of the dictates of expe rieuce atutthe discoveries of economical science ; and on that ground the question for the adoption or rejection of Mr. OWEN'S Plans may be safely committed. The Memorial states that in Ireland, where there• are no large manufacturing establishments, no injury could be done to capitalists by enabling the population to 'Manufacture in the New Aril lages for themselves. By way of remark upon this statement, we think it necessary 4o observe, that no injury would result to capitalists or to manufacturers, even by the establishment of New Villages in the thanafacturing dis tricts of England. It can never be too often repeated, that one of the direct effects of Mr. OWE N'S arrangements, is that of giving an illi mitable.eatension to the markets, by enabling the population to consume equivalents • for all that they can produce ; and therefore that the em ployment of all Me capital, of all the skill, and of all the productive power, now possessed by, the country, would continue to .be required under' the new arrangements, with the additional certainty of their' employment being profitable and (idea?). tageoui.lo all parties ! The MEMORIAL of the PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE of the HIBERNIAN PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY. To the Honourable the Select Committee of the House of Commons for the Relief and EMployment of the Poor in Ireland. GENT t.Ewstsr—The Hibernian Philanthropic Society f2el ' grateful to the llOnourable the House of Commons for having appointed a Select Committee to consider and report on the means of providing Employment ftir the Poor of Ireland.. They are anxious to draw the -particular attention of every Member of the Committee to the situation of this country. By a knowledge of the existito , evils, the danger which may.fol low, if not speedily counteracted, will be sufficiently obvious to induce every friend to humanity, but more especially every person who has any interest or property in the country, or any feeling for its inhabitants, of whatever Sector party, to exert himself to the utmost to meet the emergency, and avert the consequences. - It has been estimated, upon information which we fear is but too well founded, that a majority of the whole labouring point- Winn of Ireland have not the half of their time employed i they are not half clothed, nor half fed, even with food of bad quality. Those who have families, though fully employed, cannot maintain and clothe themselves at the low rate of wages which is general in the interior, and the South and West— thire being no poor rates in Ireland. It' the Committee satisfy themselves that the fact is as here stated, they must be con vinced of the utter futility of all partial endeavours to remove the evil; but when to a knowledge of this state of' things is added the consideration that a people, thus circumstanced, is rapidly multiplying in numbers, the population having been increased one-half within the last half century, and when the prevailing political discontents and dreadful state of social dis organization are added to the account, the anticipations of every reflecting mind cannot be otherwise titan of the worst de scription. In the city of Dublin, in a population exceeding 220,000 souls, weber a large portion of the youth rising up under our view, who.have no means of }ruining a livelihood save by thiev ingested prostitution. In every labouring and handicraft occu. potion there is a large surplus of hands, the decay of business having had a double operation..—to drive the adult out of oM ployment, and to prevent the youth front being taken as ap prentices. It is true that our city abounds in Charitable. Lod, cations, where destitute children are reared in vast numbers ; but it is not necessary to remind an enlightened Committee of the. House of Commons, that the certain result of all such establishments, where adequate means cannot he provided for their employment when the children shall have arrived at:Ma-, turity, is but still further to add to the pauper population, already so overwhelming. The finer feelings of our nature are - thus converted into the means of aggravating the evils undeti which the country suilbrs. The most intelligent, sober, and industrious individuals of the middle and labouring classes, ax soon as they are enabled t o co ll ec t a sma ll sum , w hi c h w i g ht .he deemed sufficient to establish themselves in attothes,country, arc in the general practice of emigrating; by this evil, the coin.. munity is deprived of many of its most valuable members, and a portion of capital annually withdrawn, a ,loss which is the more to be regretted, as the deficiency of capital is a chief obstacle to the improvement of the country. We are far from desiring to depreciate the advantages of edu. eating the lower classes of the people; but in a state of society, such as now exists in Ireland, the obstacles to any plan of vary general extent are insurmountable, and unfortunately; in one instance where the attempt was made with some prospect of success, speculative differences respecting the use of the Bible in the schools have rendered the attempt abortive. It is only by combining education and employment, under a system wholly unrestricted in matters of religious belief and discipline, that any effectual progress can be made in the education of the lower classes. The large sums whirls have been from time to time most liberally voted by Parliament under various designa tions, with a view to relieve pressing exigencies, or contributed for the same object by private benevolence, have hitherto proved unavaiiing,—because . the sonrce,.of our multiplied estils being permanent, ail attempts to divert the current which incessantly Bowe from it are futile, unless so far as a temporary alleviation of the prevailing calaMity may be thereby obtained. • Nothing that we have as yet heard of, appears in our opinion 80 well adapted to remove the disease as Mr. Owen's principle of mutual co.4peratien, applied to the present state of the labouring classes in this country. A small proportion of the sems annually wasted in expedients for temporary relief, would be snore than sufficieht . to snake an experiment on such a scale as would. in a very short time, decide the qaestion of its perfect prat ticability , in the minds of 'those who still entertain doubts upon. that point. • • As every Member of the' Select Conimittoe is doubtless al ready informed of the nature of Mr. Owen's plati of forming villages of mutual co-operation, we shall not occupy its time by dwelling on that subject; on one point only, Religion, we shall say a few words; the chief opposition ;qr. Owen's plan has encountered haVing arisen from an ill.grounded itlipeehen sion that the people were to be deprived of their religion; if they joined in the Villages of mutual co-operation. ' The Hibernian PhilanthropicAssocietion is composed of intli sithials professing different forms of worship ; they 2ia agreed in this rest cet,—That die rising youth should be carefully in. structed not to hate each other for difference of religious belief, any more than for differences of belief or opinion upon other subjects--that all should be taught to pracuse the pure Chris tiamprecepts, " Do as you would be done unto," and " Love your neighbour as yourself." The chief pestilence that withers our 'country is an. unchristian disunion, caused by religious dif. ferences. If we can improve the condition of the people, and teach them to practise charity and love.towards each other,--if a'e can carry into effect an improved system of education ex tem ling equally to all, but leaving religious subjects to parents, as, and clergy, we are strongly of opinion that they can &P tar . Ise =L ie better Christians than under the existing state of things. stances and soil of Ireland offer peculiar facilities The circ.'un for estahlishi..nit villages of mutual co-operation. There are no great rnanufact'uring. capitelists who would be injured by these villages inanufa,ltunng for themselves. Where local conve nienctes m i g h t r ender a situation favourable for particular branclws, the villagt'nt might manufacture for. others not poe. sassed of similar cata wniences, but who might have local ad equally valuable. The labour of vantages .of a different lt,(nd, these villaffers, ,under juAieious direction, would soon create 'wealth ! which would be their own, after defraying the cxpence of outht. The cost of apprehending, pi.osecuting, and transporting one felon, would establish at least Ntree .families in one of these villages. The expence of the police and criminal jurisprudence of the counety is very large, and It is an increasing charge. Would it itot, as - a measure of economy, deserve an expert. meat, to try if that expence might no t h e g reatl y diminished, if not rendered altogether unnecessary ? It is not too much to anticipate sueh n a result, if the unemployed and now superabun. were placed in the proposed establishments. otm ortant improvement to draw from their latnwtmillillabetin° a am e ar tiess and isolated dwellings a people who, from local situation and their scattered residences, cannot be controlled ltli ver d by force, unless you place an armed so et in e y we ng. A large portio n of the lands of Ireland are lying waste. The • commons, generally sources of litigation and quarrel, might be mountainous districts rendered enclosed; the hogs byesreelaj theployinagpauinthosegwherojuaireesoc. cuied accessible and cultivates 't here In-plotting and-executing,most p • ate, it is stated, two millions of acres of reclaimable , hog, of a soil suited to the production of grain ; the mountain districts, capable of being cultivated or otherwise, improved, :one and a half millions of acres ; the enelosed commons a million °rams tr in 'all, four millions of Irish acres. If a loan of .five millions sterling, raised at interest of fourper cent., guaranteed by Go vernment, were applied in the purchase of those waste lands, wider the valuation of a jury, and in laying out the samein villages of mutual co-operation—a plan of this kind, seri ously.undertaken, would, in our opinion, pacify Ireland per manently, and without expence. The saving to the Govern ment and to the Public, thenceforward, ,must be Considerable, and what is still more important, the good enanifile afforded by the new establishments could not fail of having the best cfl'eet on the'inhabitants of the surrounding neighbouthOMs. Laying aside, howeyer, the reasonable prospect of a future saving in the public expenditure; by adopting the iMprovement suggested, and supposing that it were dpub..ful whether the principal sum guaranteed by government could be repaid , to what better use could a portion of the national resources be ap plied, than that of extricating millions of the. people from a state of misery and suffering, w ithout a parallelin the his!ory of civilized nations? Should the Select Committee deem it pro per to recommend a grant or loan of Money,' and :thus form a basis for obtaining, by donations and ItianS - frOintrivate indi viduals, such farther sums 'as May be required, the Philanthropic Society would most cheernilly, . eoftsih,o e their personal and gratuitous exertion 'in aid of any COnunfsslon that may be appointed, for superintending any PinkaPprded of by Government, for establishing villages of inuniarco..oP'i , ration. Several Members of the Philanthropic Society have already given donations of money, and others'have subscribed to a loan, to the amount of 4000/. tor the purpose Of carrying this nnicii. to be desired object into effect. • ' Signed, by order of the Committee, CLONCLI R Chairnian."

Georgr-Strcet, AMA!, August 3,11123; SI It —I did myself the pleasure of attending your Meetings in the City . of London tavern on Tuesday and Friday last, and cannot resist the impulse by which I am urged to address you, though a perfect stranger, in this manner. I feel the strongest conviction on my mind that your bide fatigable endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the nu merous labouring classes of mankind proceed from a genuine principle of sympathy and benevolence towards that estimable, though in general distressed, portion of the human specks...-. You are engaged in a mighty warfare, and may look for every engine that perverse and powerful opposition can devise to be brought against you, for overthrowing the bright and consoling results you have so long contemplated, with a liberality of soul and sentiment almost bevondithe reach of expression. I pray and hope yours may be the victory,—and that many -more will be for than against you. Being now considerably advanced in years, and having from infancy occasionally mixed with that portion of- our species whose enlightenca advocate you are, and whose dis tresses I never • failed to commisserate, though. without the power of alleviating them in any degree suited to my inclinations, I cannot bl•hold your efforts—l must not call them disinterested (because it is impossible for any one to take a deeper interest in their ultimate success than your. self) without a mixture of joy and confidence, that the era of emancipation is fast approaching; and that the glorious dawn is already perceptible in the horizon of Inman life. If you would favour me with an interview, however short, I think I could unfold to you a state of misery and suffering in part of Scotland little known, that would, if possible to be done, give additional energy to your exalted views. My stay here is only for u very few days ; but wherever I go, and so long as I shall be a terrestrial sojourner, I will never cease to pray for your support and success in the great cause you have sogenerously espoused. With every benign sentiment in my power to confer, I truly am, Sir, your sincere and obedient servant, Itobert Owen, Esti; •10**•11 61.7 N OFFICE, HALF•?AST Two o'Cr.ocx.

The Prince was very anxious to avoid meeting him, which he effected by embarking in a boat from the Bay ut the moment that ids attendants were going on board the Sovereign steam packet in the harbour, which instantly proceeded to sea, and took the Prince on board, a short distance from the Pier. Mr. Bettera was much enraged at discovering the manteuvre, and leaped into the packet going to Calais. The Sovereign packet went to Bou logne, and is this instant returned, bringing no news later than the French Papers of the Bth inst.—French Renter, f. 55 d.

DAVY THE COIIPOSErt.—The admirers of musical genius will hear, with regret, that this gentleman has been reduced, by long continued indisposition, to such a -state us renders him an object, of benevolent friendship. It is to be hoped that a man of his talents, the victim of severe ill. ness, wil I not be suffered tqsistic uin his distresses, but that a liberal subscription will take place for his relief, and perhaps. by such timely assistance, his abilities tnay be restored and exerted for his own support:, tis 'a duty of 'humanity, as well as re o act for talents, ,Which. induces, us to sub. mit this suggestion to persons of taste and feeling, and to add', that we understand his residence is in May's Buildings, St. Martin's.lane.

M ELLNCIIOLY esitakTANcE.--T w o respectable families at the east end of the metropolis have been plunged into the greatest grief within the la s t tew days ofiing to the fol lowing affecting occurrence :-- Two tine girl's one aged ten, and the other nine, the daughters of Mr. T a yl or andi Mr. AI tick intosh, both of Featherstone-buildings, Limehouse-Selds, who were in separable companions, and in the habitof playing together eN'ery day after school hours, were missed by their parents on Friday evening last. The circumstance, after some time had elapsed, of course excited a more than ordinary degree of alarm, and ap prehension for their safety, and persons went in quest of them different directions. It was , at length le a rned from the child of a neighbour that both the girls were playing, about half-past eight o'clock, near a pond in a held close by. The father of one of them, accompanied by a watchman with his lantern, pro ceeded to the pond about ten o'clock the same night, when a bonnet was discovered floating on the w a ter. The feelings of the poor father may be easier conceived than depicted, when, after searching In the water fob some time, he succeeded (by means of a clothes pole, to which was attached an iron hook) in dragging out of the pond first the lifeless body of his own child, and then that of his neighbour's child. There were between six and seven feet depth of water in the pond, which was originally formed by digging clay out to make bricks. A plank had been 'stretched across it, and it is presumed the children were walking on it when they tumbled in. EXECUTION Or WILLIAM DONALLAN.--Wa. Beim Dunallan was executed at Maidstone, on Friday, pnrint ant to his sentence, for the wilful murder of Bridget Donal lan, his wire, at Chatham, in the year 1111 g, by drowning her in a well . During the short interval, between conviction and execution, the wretched culprit betook himself to earnest prayer and repentanre. Being of the notnan Catholic per suasion, a rriest of that religion Very huinanely attended him in his devotions. At his trial, and even after the verdict, the wretched man solemnly declared that he WRO innocent of the murder, but on returning to prison his tone and manner kecame altered, though nothing escaped him indicating a disposhion to confess the atrocious crier°. At eleven, o'clock the melancholy procession left the gaol for the 1 !Late of, exe cntion on Pennenden Heath, i%liere it arrived i n a b out the space of half an hour. The culprit Was accompanied in the waggon by the Catholic Clergyman and the gaol as sistants. In his passage to the Heath he etnployed him self in earnest supplications to Heaven for mercy and his' 'prayers' were distinctly audible. On arrivineat the drop he remirined a considerable time in deVotion . Up to this mament he had made no ,confession,' and it was supposed that he would leave the world with protestations of innocence ; but on as cending the scaffold, he add - rested the crowd for several minutes in a distinct and firm voice, declaring the justice of his sentence, and the merited punishment which awaited bid guilty , conscience.
