STATION ACCOMMODATION. NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST. The following is a statistical sketch of the stations en the principal workinr , lines, showing the extent of railway accommodation afforded to the various towns and counties, with the corresponding population of each county, according to the last census : LONDON AND A NORTII-WEBTERN.—The number of stations on this line, from London to Birmingham, with branch to Aylesbury, 120 miles, is in all 25, of which Stations. Population. 5 two in Middlesex 7 in Herts 157,237 1 in Bucks - 155,959 2 in Beds 5 ir. Northamptonshire 5 in Warwickshire 25 2,598,961 Showing that the London and North-Western, in its first section of 120 miles between London and Birming ham, accommodates, with its five-and-twenty stations, a population between north and south of 2,598,961. On its branch from Northampton to Peterborough, 47 mih s, there are 14 stations, all in Northamptonshire. From Birmingham to Liverpool, 97i miles, there are 24 stations, of which Stations. Population. 3 are in Warwickshire 403,121 9 in Staffordshire 510,206 9 in Cheshire 3 in Lancashire 24 2 974,691 So that this section in its 971 miles and 24 stations, ac commodates 2,974,691 souls. On the Northern branch from Liverpool to Man chester, 30 miles, there are 21 stations, all in Lan cashire. From armingham to Manchester, 35 miles, there are 26 stat ons :-3 in Warwickshire, 9 in•Su ffJrdshire, 11 in Cheshire, and 3in Lancashire. On tie Chester and Birkenhead in the same counties there are 11 stations in 16 miles. H. ;ice the London and North-Western accommodates a population of upwards of three millions, over its total area of 328 miles, exclusive of a large collateral traffic from the north and south, and from Ireland and Scot land, having connected with its largely ramifying system a total or 121 stations. 'I he West of England ranks next. On the Great Western the total number of stations between London and Exec( r, including the branches to Oxford and Glou cezter, a distance of 240! miles, amounts to fifty. Of the se— Stafons. Population. 5 are in Middlesex 1,576,616 2 in Bucks 10 in Berks 3 in Oxfordshire 8 in Gloucestershire 4 in Wilts 14 in Sourersetshire 436,002 4 in Devonshire 533,731 3,715,451 This shows that the Great Western, running over a less mileage, and through a less manufacturing district ti an the North-Western, apparently accommodates a larger local population, with its fifty stations and 240 miles, exclusive of its Welch traffic, than the North- Western does with its 121 stations and 328 miles. On the Midland (south branch), from Rugby to Derby, 49i miles, there are 22 stations, of which— Stations. Population. 1 in Warwickshire 402,121 14 in Leicestershire 215,855 3 in Nottinghamshire 4 in Derbyshire 1,139,951 On its north branch from Derby to Leeds, 73 miles, the number of stations, including the brunch to Sheffield, is also 22, of which— Static n Population. ii 11 are in Derbyshire 11 in Yorkshire 1,300,000 On the western branch from Derby to Birmingham, 41 miles, there are 13 staticns, five being in Derbyshire and eight in Warwickshire.

A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held, in accordance with the Railway Companies' Disso lution Act, shortly before 12 o'clock yesterday, at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, for the purpose of deter mining whether it should be dissolved or not. Bat a small number of shareholders were present. Mr. Col- . lips, M.P., occupied the chair. Messrs. Strict, Coleman, and Child, were appointed scrutineers. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, which set forth that the line was projected for the pur pose of constructing a line of railway connecting the dis trict of South Wales with the more northerly part of the kingdom, and that they considered it a line of the greatest public utility; that it had received the active suppori, of the principal landed proprietors on its route ; in fact, no undertaking was started under better ,t auspices,,ntohte wi th st at d i o n r g s t h t o e o t dn o or g e a c s h s a u n r a c n e c e o s f engineer, that the plans would be perfectly ready by the o s f uc m ce r s . s. Gr Thl avi t t 30th of November, the directors found the plans and sections so defective, that it would have been utterly useless to have submitted them to the Standing Orders' Committee. They therefore abandoned the intention of going to Parliament. In January last they returned 1/. Bs. per share, bping two-thirds on the amount origi nally paid. So sriiaguine were they of the ultimate suc cess of the line, that they advised the adoption of a new line, with some alight alterations, immediately subse quent to the dissolution of the old one, the retiring shareholders being relieved from all responsibility, and those holding shares in the present company to be en titled to receive a similar amount of shares an the new company. The CIIAIRIIIAN said, the capital originally subscribed was 7x,000/., 11. Bs. had been returned, on each share, m•Aking 50,0001. The liabilities amounted to 30,0001., • 'out they expected, on investigation, that they would be enabled to considerably reduce that amount, and that a sufficient sum would be left to defray all liabilities. They hoped to be in a position to return a farther small sum per share. The balance was en against the company, but the reductions which would - be made in the legal and engineering charges would alter this. The solicitcr had ofFered to make some reduction. In reply to several questions, the SECRETARY stated that 3,800/. had been paid to Mr. Gravitt and to the surveyors, but he claimed, in addition, 7,000 L, which they had refused to ray. The directors had commenced an action against him to recover the amount they had paid, but he had commenced a counter-action for the balance of his claim. 3,6001. had been paid to the local agents, and 3,000/. to the town solicitor, who claimed 5,2001. more. The new line was proposed to start from Wor cester, and to run in a direct line to Runcorn. d rnr a t h hf o oe w rnm o e f r h A resolution i n f avour o f t h e d i ssolution, not, how ever, as a n act o f b ankruptcy, of the company, was then c o a c n e d a s s . Mr. rectors r di occasion the nd meetingto-day day at great length, ed by a . s and contend e d th at t h e statements put forward by the o and fallacious, and that th e whole affairs of companythweere vague had been grossly rcistnun9ged and the shareholders de ceivod. He wished to know how many shares had been applied for, how many allotted and reserved, - and how many paid upon, and advised the shareholders to demand every farthing of their depcsits. The CHAIRMAN said he and the other members of the committee of management, with the exception of five, had taken and paid upon two hundred shares. About thirty of the provisional committee, who had been allotted one hundred shares each, had not paid upon their shares. Proceedings had been commenced against the five directors. Many shares had been reserved for the purpose of contemplated amalgamations with other companits, which circumstances had prevented. To show the anxiety of the directors to economise the ex penses, he might state that a demand made by Mr. Tripp's brother for 1,0001. for brokerage was reduced to 501. The votes of the meeting were then taken, and the majority were infavour of a dissolution. WARWICK AND WORCESTER RAILWAY. An adjourned meeting of-this Company was held yes terday, at one o'clock, at the llall of Commerce, for the purpose of completing the registration of the votes in favour of or against the dissolution of the Company. Mr. T. W. Pocock occupied the chair. The entire number registered in favour of the dissolution, up to two o'clock to-day, was, 7,740 ; none against it ; 2,020 in favour of its lying taken as an act of bankruptcy; aginst it, 4,970. The dissolution, therefore, was not taken as an act of bankruptcy, and the Company was declared dissolved. A committee was then appointed to confer with the directors with respect to its finances, and also with the Birmingham Extension Company, with which this Com pany has been in some measure connected. A vote of thanks was awarded to the chairman, and he meeting separated. ADELPHI THEATRE. The Jockey Club —such is the title of a new Equestrian, Tattersallian, T. Y. C. Extravaganza (we quote from the bills) which was produced at this theatre last evening, with the most complete success. Plot it has none— characters it has, multitudinous. We have Selby as a French turf amateur, excessively amusing, who has hired Robinson, the celebrated light weight, to ride his horse for the T. Y. C. Stakes at Newmarket. Wright, as Mr. Macassar, the President of a Gent's Jockey Club in Little Bell Alley, and Miss Woolgar as Leander Larkington, a brilliant of the first water on and off the turf. There are scenes on and off the turf. Off—representing gentlemen making up their books, and on—representing gentlemen hedging. Then we have a grand scene of the race, in which Paul Bedford (fat Paul) brings in his horse so as not to be placed. The French Marquis is done. The English turfites are vic torious, and the curtain falls amidst the acclamatiots of the crowd on and off the stage. Such is the Jockey Club, which was received by a crowded house with loud plaudits. If asked for the story of the farce, we reply, in the words of Canning's Knife-grinder— " Story? Lord bless you ! I've none to tell, Sir." Yet, still, it is amusing. The admirable acting of Wright, Paul Bedford, and Miss Woolgar, would make a worse constructed piece go ; and many a club has been started and lived upon less pretensions than the Jockey Club of the Adelphi. THE REGISTRATIONS. EAST SURREY. The revising barrister, Mr. T. C. C. FyEhe, held his Court yesterday, at the Workehouse Committee-room, Bermondsey, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in that district. Mr. John Curling claimed the right to vote in respect to a piece of freehold land. A similar claim was made last year, but rejected. Mr. Curling said he was ready to depose to the fact of his being in the receipt of 3/. ss. a year for the use of the piece of land in question. It was used by a person who kept his cart standing on it, and who paid him that amount. The parish officers objected to the claim on the ground that the land was not bonii fide worth 40s. a year. It was a very small piece of ground, in fact hardly large enough to hold the cart, the shafts of which extended beyond it. The REVISING BARRISTER said he should like to see the party who occupied the land, in order to hear under what conditions he did so, and he adjourned his decision for that purpose. The Rev. W. Curling, one of the chaplains of St. Saviour's Church, claimed a right to vote in respect of his office. Mr. Stunny, the vestry clerk, opposed the claim, on the ground, that although the rev. gentleman certainly held a freehold office, yet that he did, not derive such a revenue from land as would entitle him to a vote, It appeared that two chaplains were appointed under a local Act, and they wore paid by i rate levied upon the inhabitants generally, who were liable by their goods and chattels, and also personally in the event of their failing to pay. Mr. Stunny reverted to the various Acts of Parliament bearing upon the question, and contended that the mode in which the chaplains were paid could not be sanctioned under freehold interest in land, which was the qualification under which the right to vote was now sought to be substantiated. Mr. J. Curling, who was instructed to support the claim, argued the point at very considerable length, and urged that inasmuch as formerly it was perfectly clear that the incomes of chaplains were derived from tithes, and that the mode of payment was merely changed by a recent Act of Parliament to one by means of a rate, that they were precisely in the same position, and their incomes were clearly derivable from the property and the land in the parish ; that they had a freehold interest in the land, and therefore were en• tied to vote. The REVISING BARRISTER said the only point in the case was, whether the claimant possessed a freehold in the land. There was no doubt that he held a free hold office, but it appeared to him that the Act of Par liament, under which he received his salary, by giving a power of distraint upon the goods, and of imprison ment in the event of non-payment, contemplated a merely personal liability ; and that there was, conse quently, not such an interest in land as was required to give the right to vote, and the claim mutt, therefore, be disallowed. Sixteen fresh claims, supported by the free traders, in respect to two freehold houses, worth about 46/: a-year, were all held to be good by the Revising Bar rister, and the names of the parties were placed on ti e list of voters. • THE NEW BISHOP.—The Right Rev.

FORTITUDE OF A LAD.—A lad of about eighteen, employed on the Oxford and Rugby Railway, fell down, and a waggon passed over his arm and shattered it. On the night of the accident the arm was amputated near the shoulder. He walked quietly from the place to the inn, talked coolly while the amputation was going on, and requested the bone might be saved, so that he might have a tobacco-stopper made of it ! The lad had tra velled from Dorsetskire to near Banbury for work. PORTLAND BREARWATER.—Owing to the rough ness of the weather, the gentlemen engaged in soanding the intended site of this building, have been obliged to suspend their labours ; they propose, after having com pleted their survey on this spot, which they are now most minutely doing, to re-survey the roadstead and Weymouth bay in several places. Shet bourne Journal. CANADA AND EMIGRATION.—It is not generally known, we believe, that Sir Richard Bonnycastle, the author of the very important and interesting work, just published, under the title of " Canada and the Cana dians," is the son of the Woolwich Professor of Mathe matics, whese admirable school- books rendered his name familiar to the juvenile world. He has drawn (says the Chronicle) an amusing and interesting picture of the present condition of an important colony. There is ex cellent advice, as well as information, of a practical kind, which ought to be treasured up by the intending emigrant, to whom we recommend a perusal of Sir Richard's book, as giving graphic views of the present toil for future independence, which all must encounter. CONDENSATION OF SEWAGE INTO SOLID MANURE. —An explanatory lecture was delivered in our healing at the Westminster Literary and Scieutfic Institution, on Friday last, by the patentee, Mr. William Higgs, who proved, clearly enough, the possibility of condensing, in a solid form, all that is valuable as manure in the sewage of towns, by collecting it in tanks, wherein all that is solid and insoluble, or merely suspended in the fluid, would of course subside, while by aid of calcareous or other reagents, the soluble phosphates, or phosphoric acid, &c., might be converted into soluble salts, and pre cipitated amongst the general sediment, or apart from it, and the ammoniacal and hydro sulphuric vapours, uniting in hydro-sulphuret of ammonia, be also condensed by aid of chlorine, in covered air-tight areas above the tanks, and added, in form of sal ammoniac and sulphur, to the other valuable materials ; tho residual water of the sewage thus, in effect, being rendered perfectly pure before it issues into the river that may flow in the vicinity of the town. Into the question of th e p ro fit a bl e and practicable adoption, or the relative merits of such an economical and save-all system it is not our province to enter, but we may remark, that certainly the health I of towns could not but be vastly benefited by the ab sorption and solidification of the volatile and unwhole ocinuetnhtelybacnokns. some vapours hitherto. permitted to emanate from sewers, a of n d w e h v i e c n h theb th y e ha b p i t u a rge n a s k o o f n m o a f n th a e r e ri s v o er f s r , e G EER .- fAi pyi —Mr. Joseph Woodward, livery stable-keeper, St. Martin's-lane, has forwarded us a statement which we . deem it right to make public, for the sake of all who ride or drive fn London, and who may, by any circumstance; be compelled for a moment to leave their horses or Vehicles. Mr. W. had driven a very valuable mare, the property of Mr. Cogan, of the glass warehouse, Le r y lane i : cest Leicester-square, r squttre, a long journey ; he pulled Theatre, and, whilst ab s ent for a up n ear pru moment, some idle boys began teazing the mare ; on his return he interfered, and was ultimately taken into custody—his horse and gig sent to the green-yard. (As the horse and gig had committed no offenc e , they might have been sent home instead, we think) The next morning, on inquiring where the " green. yard" was, he was informed that " Mr. Perkins, Little Russell-street, Drury-lane, vas the green-yard." Ho went there, and found the mare extremely ill. Mr. P. (th e green -y a rd), had given the poor animal no bed, and, though he must have perceived it had be en driven hard and fast, no corn ; the poor thing had b een lying shivering on the stones all night. For this " care" Mr. Perkins charged four shil lings and sixpence. alien remonstrated with for this conduct, he replied, . My .. instructions are a little hay, and water, if they wan . t. ; nothing else." Common m humanity might have aimed . Mr. Perkins to give the horse a bed and feed, especially as, keeping a livery stable, it could ha Ye been no trouble to him ; or if he did not choose to Z - , ;ive : he must have been assured, hav ing a valuable ma, 'e in his possession, that the owner would willingly pay any charge, if that of four shillings and sixpence was d eemed insufficient. We should like very much to know to whom that fee goes. An altera tion in the green - yal system is imperatively called for. Should a stable boy t aking through the metropolis the most valuable racer in .England, meet with an accident, the ho:se would meet at ith exactly the same treatment, and, probably, thrjubl forfeit all his engagements.— IRELAND: STATE OF Tat'. COUNTRY. DUBLIN, OCT. 10.—The intelligence from the pro vinces, received through the country papers, both yes terday and this morning, is extremely meagre. With the exception of certain districts.in the county of Cork, there are no fresh symptoms of disturbance, beyond the assemblages, natural under the circumstances, of large bodies of unemployed men seeking,for work, in order to procure the means of subsistence.. Universal and well founded are the complaints of the long delays that have ensued between the holding of the presentment sessions and the carrying out of the Labour Rate Act in the spirit of its strict meaning. The landlords have, no doubt, fulfilled their duties ; baronial sessions have met, and gentry and cesspayers have quietly submitted to a taxation in many instances thrice exceeding the income of the baronies, to be assessed according to the required valuation ; but up to the present not a spade has been put into the earth, no works of a " profitable" or " un profitable" nature have been set agoin,g ; and, judging from the time that has been already consumed, and as Lord Besborough's recent circular necessitates the re holding of fresh presentment sessions, which are now at liberty to assess for works of a reproductive kind, fur ther procrastination seems to be almost inevitable. In the meantime, whether justly or not, this apparent su pineness is daily detracting from the confidence hitherto reposed in the Government. At a very full repeal gathering held in Cork, the Premier's inability to meet the pending crisis was the theme of a leading speaker, while—tell it not in Derrynane—Sir 'Robert Peel was Luded to the skies as the trustworthy pilot, the only statesman fit to weather the storm. In the following ac counts of the state of the disturbed districts of Cork, abridged from the Southern Reporter, will also be found some not over-complimentary allusion to the Whig Prime Minister : SKIDDEREEN, MONDAY EVENING.—On Friday last, in my hurried communication, I stated to you that this town and the country surrounding it were in a state of impending danger. I regret now to say, that my appre hensions were too well founded, a day of anxiety and alarm having only passed, unattended, however, thank God ! with any serious consequences, thanks to the promptitude and vigilance of the authorities, and to the exertions and influence of the gentlemen of the Relief Committee, whose services, by the by, our Irish Whigs would disregard. But of that more anon ; I will first give you the particulars of the day. This was a day of meeting here of the late General Relief Committee ; but before the hour of meeting (12 o'clock) rumours of an intended attack upon the town, from the labouring po pulation of Caheragh, which had been circulated at an early hour in the morning, but disregarded, became more rife, and before the hour of 12 o'clock the prin cipal inhabitants of the town bad met, and were in con sultation with Mr. Michael Gallwey, the only magis trate in the town, for the purpose of adopting precau tionary measures, and, if necessary, to swear in special constables ; when Dr. Donovan, who had been on pro fessional duty, rode in to say that a multitude of men armed with spades were coming in, and then close upon the town. And so it was, for in a few moments ap peared in full view of the town, winding by the angle formed on the road near the workhouse, a body of from 800 to 1,000 as athletic men as I ever saw, marching in line ; they came ten abreast, each with a spade shouldered, on the polished iron of which an unclouded sun shone, offering to the eye a very alarming and im posing appearance. Mr. Gallwey, with his usual activity and zeal for the public peace, proceeded to the barracks at the other end of the town, and, having or dered out the military, the bugle immediately sounded to arms, and in an instant the town, but fire minutes be fore enjoying its usual quiet and tranquillity, became a scene of alarm and consternation. The military, who had been scattered through the town, on the call of the bugle were to be seen running in all directions towards thelr barrack ; the men of business, all confusion and haste, closing up their windows and shops (under order of the magistrate) ; parents in every quarter anxiously looking for their children to place them out of danger, and the men of the town preparing to render every as sistance to the military and police. Whilst the military were getting under arms the Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the valued and respected Roman Catholic administrator of the town, whose indefatigable exertions during the pre sent crisis are beyond all praise, proceeded outside the town, accompanied by Mr. T. H. Marmion, Dr. Dono van, and several influential gentlemen, and remonstrated with the people, by which they were retarded for some minutes ; and in the meantime sixty men of the 67th, commanded by Captain Byrne, and some dozen police men, with Sub- inspector Pinchin, all under the orders of Mr. Gallwey, took up their position on a rising ground just at the entrance of the town, and within about fifty yards of the multitude. This was an anxious and critical moment—one hasty or false step taken, and many lives would in all probability have been sa crificed. During the Reverend Mr. Fitzpatrick's remon strance with the people they stated that they would be satisfied if Mr. Gallwey, Mr. M'Carthy Downing, and the. Rev. Mr. Webb went out to them. Shortly after mr. Downing arrived, as Mr. Somerville, of Drishane, the excellent and respected chairman of the Relief Com mittee, was addressing them on their folly and illegal proceedings, and having got into a field off the road, was followed by the people, by which the immediate danger of contact with the military was avoided. Mr. Downing addressed them at length, and inquired of them what could have led the inhabitants of so peaceable a parish as Csheragh into so criminal a proceeding, which led to answers that I would to God the Minister of England could have heard. We have come,' said they, ' because we are famishing ; because we have no food of any kind ; we could suffer death from hunger ourselves ; but can we look upon our children and our wives dying of hunger, and we ready and anxious to work for bread, if we can only get as much as will give us one good meal a day ? But it is not Bd. a day will give our families a meal, and Indian meal ls. 10d. a stone.' The truth and force of this distressing appeal could not be resisted, but Mr. Downing, Mr. Fitzpatrick, and Mr. Donovan assured them that it was to the Government they should attribute the price of food, and upon whom the maledictions of the hungry multitude were poured in unmeasured terms. During this convarsation Mr. Gallwey again and again called upon the people to disperse, and at length pre ceed..d to read the Riot Act. But an universal shout was raised, We might as well be shot as starved ; we have not eaten a morsel for more than 24 hours.' Mr. Downing then besought of the people to follow him out as far as the workhouse, and that he would procure them bread as far as the town could afford it, which after much solicitation they did, and regularly encamped on the rising ground outside the workhouse, where they remained until Mr. Downing returned with 503. worth of biscuit, which he and the Rev. Mr. Webb, assisted by the Messrs. Levis, distributed in the workhouse yard, and about four o'clock the multitude moved on for their dreary homes, ya t sullen, discontented, and unhappy, saying, That while a stack" of corn remained in the country, they would not allow their children to starve,' and denouncing in the strongest manner the Government. The military were then with drawn, and I cannot close this recital without statin g , with the utmost satisfaction, that a bettor conducted body of men was never stationed here, not one man being seen drunk. Since their arrival they are greatly liked by the people. " Since I concluded I am informed on authority that our commissary has by this day's post received an order to raise the price of Indian meal to 151, a ton, and bis cuits from 101. to 121. Oh, thank you, Lord John Rus sell, eternal gratitude to you, Irish Whigs ; your claims on Irish constituencies at the next general election will be large indeed ; remember, badinage aside, that the cry amongst all will be, A Tory, Repealer, a Chartist, anything but a mongrel Whig.' May I ask, through your journal, where is O'Connell from us? or why does he not denounce the base, bloody, and brutal Whigs?" Under the head of " Apprehended Disturbances in Bandor." the Reporter has the following:— " In consequence of the following notice, which was extensively posted through the Bandon Union on Sun day, considerable apprehensions existed that a large and excited assemblage of the people would take place in Bandon yesterday : " DISTRESS AND HUNGER. " Take notice, that all and every one, both young and old, that are in want of provisions, and also of em ployment to support their families with the sweat of their brow, and expect no relief from gentlemen (our patience is worn out), you are requested to come and assemble from every parish in the district of the Bandon Union, on Wednesday, the 7th of October, 1546. " N.B.—To the poor-house of Bandon.' " We have great satisfaction in stating that this mis chievous production entirely failed in its purpose; there was no gathering of people at the workhouse, nor was there the slightest indication of any disposition to violate the peace of the town or neighbourhood. It is right. however, to state that many attributed that to the public works recently presented for having been commenced on Monday morning, while others ascribed it to the sever* inclemency of the day, which, from the heavy torrents of rain and storm during the forenoon rendered it diffi cult to travel, even in the ordinary vehicles, through the country. The magistrates, being apprehensive of the consequences of allowing a multitude of excited people to come into Bandon, took the precaution of obtaining a 'reinforcement of military for the protection of the town, in addition to the usual number stationed there ; and, accordingly, a detachment of the 55th Regiment, from Cork garrison, marched in on Tuesday evening, in aid of the civil power. They were under the command of Major Daubeny, C. 8., with Captain Edwards, Lieutenants Fairtlough, M'Coy, and Shipley, and consisted of five sergeants, two drummers, and 110 rank and file. There was also a party of the Ist Royal Dragoons, from Ballincollig, under the command of Leutenant Gough, and a party of the 67th Regiment, consisting of 2 officers mad 35 men. The troops were placed under the direction of Mr. Little, re sident magistrate, and remained under arms all day, ready to turn out at a moment's notice. Most for tunately, however, their services were entirely dispensed with, the town being perfectly quiet all day, with the exception of the bustle incidental to the usual monthly fair, which was being held there. Shortly after dusk a number of the unemployed labourers of tise town assem bled about the Court house, asking to be employed next day on tke public works, and expressing the privations they were enduring by reason of the want of employ ment hitherto and the high price of provisions. On hearing this Mr. Little, resident magistrate, ordered the i C o urt-house to be opened and li g hts brou g ht, and na few minutes a large conco urse of them were collected in that building, when Mr. Litt le addressed the assemblage at some length, exhortin thm to eepthe peace, an promising speedy employment; after { which, the people se p a rated." The Rev. James M' h riest in the Ilale, a paris p county of Mayo, and a relative, I believe, of the lion of the fold of Judah," writes of the state of his district after the following fashion, taking care, however, to deal more in generalities than particulars ; as thus:— "Deaths, I regret to say innumerable, from starvation, and its direful effects—plunder, robberies, and open at tacks on property, are occurring every day ; the bonds of society are almost dissolved. Parliament bas made am ple provisions for obviating these unparalleled; evils, and yet they are suffered to continue. The pampered offi -1 cials appointed to carry into effect the merciful and just dispositions of the Legislature, removed as they are from these scenes of heartrending distress, can have no idea of them, and don't appear to give themselves much trou ble about them, though well paid for doing so. Were they, however, to see the tears running down the squalid faces of the parents when their children were crying in vain for food ; were they to hear the piercing cries of the poor children ; 'were they to witness the scene that occurs when the clergyman is called on to administer the last rites of the ',church to the poor creatures sinking under the weight of destitution, then, indeed, might they, if *ley could at all, bestow a thought on such things, form some idea of thew appalling occurrences. I ask, then, in the name of humanity, is this state of society to continue —nay, can it continue, and who are responsible for these monstrous evils ?" RESUSCITATION OF THE POTATO. The following cheering announcement appears in the Cork Ea aminer. It confirms, in some respects, a nearly similar statement lately published in the Times with respect to the saving Of a part of the potato crop in Wicklow, after the owner had abandoned it as Jost beyond redemption : We are much pleased to receive more favourable re ports of the potato crop. It wo u ld appear t h at, on in spection, disease has made but little ravages amongst it, and that the tubers which have reached m a t ur i ty are sound, and in a great measure fit for human consump tion. They have not, it is true, either the flavour or the nutritious qualities which, in ordinary years the vege table possesses ; still it is gratifying to learn that, where no produce was looked for, we have now the prospect, in many instances, of a half, or at least a third crop. We trust that not only is this intelligence correct, but that this condition of the plant is general throughout the country, for, if so, it would tend materially to avert those sad consequences which scarcity must ever pro duce." SUPPLIES OF FOOD. The Evening Mail announces that— " Letters just received from Trieste, dated 28th ult., with a parusal of whi c h we have been favoured, informs us that on that day an estafette had arrived in that port from London, supposed on occount of the British Go vernment, with orders to buy up all the Indian corn at that place and at Alexandria, together with all the peas. beans, and other lentils to be had there." APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. The Clare Journal contains the following appeal to the people of England, adopted e t a public meeting, held in the Court-house at Ennis on Tuesday last : " Fellow-subjects,—lt has been openly asserted and admitted, that the people of Ireland do not require, or would not solicit, gratuitous relief, and, under ordinary circumstances, any other principle should be repudiated by every independent-minded man, as humbling and de moralising to his country ; but, under the pressure of calamity, unexampled as the present, when blame could not attach to the people of the land, nor human fore sight calculate on such a dreadful visitation, we feel, with many of our countrymen, that an appeal to your characteristic benevolence would neither be lessening nor injurious to the spirit of independence which becomes us as an integral part of this great nation ; and though, we trust, a blessing will result to the eountry at large by a thorough change of habit and food, yet, for the pre-' sent, unheard-of privations will result, if measures of relief the most extensive are not immediately adopted. " Public works are in preparation under the superin tendence of Government engineers, for which the much maligned landlords and the landholders have readily and willingly taxed themselves; but all the employment and wages the people can obtain will never suffice to pro vide a sufficiency of food at the present exorbitant prices for their already famishing families. Think not we ex aggerate; inquire, and you will discover it to be too true; the labouring class, amounting to several thou sands, are actually without food or sufficient employ ment to procure the means of providing it, and at the present moment the Indian meal, the cheapest food procurable:(the potatoes having entirely failed), has in. creased to 141. per ton in our locality. Englishmen, countrymen ! we entreat you in time to arise and pre serve the unfortunate poor of this land from famine and its dreadful consequences. You have ever proved your selves friends in time of need, and let not now the views or insinuations of selfish men check the current of your liberality. Think of the multitude of God's creatures within a few hours' distance of you on the eve of starva tion. Think of the number of your friends who arc in the midst of their sufferings. Think of the anarchy and confusion which must result if the poor are left without cheap food, and think of the regret you will feel, if from any erroneous impressions, you hesitate to give that as sistance which you nobly and invariably dispense to those who stand in need of it. ThErJ was a large commissariat last year for the distribution of food in •this country ; let the staff of that body be enlarged—raise subscrip tions—purchase provisions—give them to that body to distribute—let depots be furmed throughout the country —and, with the assistance of a few from each locality, sell at such reduced terms as will enable the poor to sup port themselves with the wages they may earn. But without cheap provision every employment will be in sufficient ; the food is in the hands of a few, who main tain high prices, far beyond the reach of the people ; consider the suffering; of the poor—the peace of the country—the lives of the people—but, above all, the goodness of God, who has preserved you from such an awful calamity. Forget any foolish or wicked expres sions that heated passions may have called forth at any time, and think of Him who, though He was rich, yet for our sakes became poor, that we, through His poverty, might be made rich. " Ennis. Oct., 1840 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. A letter from Clonmel, in the Cork Examiner, says:— " I am informed that the police have received instructions to take charge of all arms which may be delivered to them by civilians, and to deliver up the same into the charge of the different storekeepers and barrack-masters in charge of ordnance, armouries, and magazines. This measure has been adopted, I understand, through fear of the present impending scarcity, which might induce the populace to seize on those arms in the possession of people scattered thro•igh the country, and thereby be come rather formidable antagonists, should any further riots take place. This may be, and no doubt is, a wise precaution, but it shows that the Government are fully aware of the condition in which the country is placed. Let them, therefore, adopt measures at once for afford ing employment to the people, and for establishing comissariat depots for the supply of food at a reasonable rate, and they need have no fear of violence or commo tion. Let merchants, landlords, and country gentlemen in general, come forwa rd g enerousl y and liberally in aid of their famishing countrymen and dependents, and they may safely keep their arms and their wealth ; but should they delay, or refuse to a do p t this course, I fear, from the present aspect of affairs, that the time is not far dis tant when English soldiers or magazines will be no pro tection to them or their property." REMUNERATIVE EMPLOYMENT. Lord Blayney has, through his agent, issued the follow ing notice to the tenants on his Lordship's estates in the county of Monaghan. " In consequence of the failure of the potato crop, and in order to afford remunerative employment, and to render the land fit for the production of those crops which, as substitutes for the potato, must now be exten- sively cultivated, such as turnips, beans, carrots, parsnips, cabbages, &c. Lord Biayney offers to his tenantry the following facilities for draining their farms: —6d. an Irish perch will be paid for parallel, and Bd. for sub-main drains, one-half of the above stun to be a free-gift, the remainder to bear interest at the rate of five per cent., the interest to be paid with the November rent, and to continue to be charged until the fall of the lease, if the farm be so held, or, if at will, until a new survey and valuation takes place. Thus, a tenant draining to the extent of 41. will have to pay 2s. a-year as interest for the above period. All persons intending to avail them selves of the above must give in their names to me, at my office, in Castleblayney, of a Wednesday, stating at the same time as near as they can the quantity of land they intend to drain, as soon as possible, after which Mr. Mitchell will lay out the drains, inspect the making of them whilst in progress, and, when completed, if exe cuted to his satisfaction, give a certificate, which being presented of a Wednesday at the office, the amount will be handed to the applicant, provided the rent usually paid at this time be not i❑ arrear. "E. GOLDING, Agent. " Castleblaney, Oct. 1." ENGLAND AND JAPAN. The less Great Britain can conceal from herself that she has lost the western hemisphere, the more energeti cally does she strive to insure to herself the eastern, in order that she may rule without a rival in the Indian seas. The southern extremity of Africa belongs to her; by the island of Aden she commands the entrance to the Red Sea; she has taken her stand on Bushire, to watch the mouth of the Euphrates; Ceylon lies at the entrance to the Bay of Bengal ; on the west coast of Transgan getic India also has she established herself for now twenty years, by the peace of Yandabu. The keys to the Straits of Malacca are, however, far more important, namely, Pub Penang, and the flourishing settlement of Singapore; while, in order to insure the route to the Chinese colony of Hong-Kong, the island of Laboan, on the north-west coast of Borneo, has just been taken possession of. The Malay pirates are thereby impeded in the exercise of their profession, and moreover, the little-explored island of Borneo opened to discovery, while the further inroads of the Dutch, now so active in the East Indian Archipelago, are prevented. At the same time Palo Laboan is important as a coal depot, as it lies about half way between Singapore and Hong Kong, which latter commands the mouth of the Canton River, in the same manner as Heligoland does the Elbe and Weser. Chusan, which England should have evacuated long ago, is still in her possession; but oven if she do give it up , s he has instead of this unhealthy island, another in view, which has a healthy climate, and a far more favourable position for her de signs. This is the island of Quelpaert, the rumoured occupation of which by the English, as stated lately in Antwerp and London journals, we by no means doubt. This island is the largest in the Archipelago of Corea (lon. 126 E., lat. 33 20 N.), and lies about 20 leagues from the S. point of the Corean peninsula; it can ix reached by steam from Chusan in a few days, ani com mands at once the Yellow Sea, the route to Pekin, the Straits of Corea sthich leads to the sea of Japan, and the west coast of the Japanese empire, particularly the neighbouring port of Nangasaki. The possessors of Malta and Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and Aden, know well how to prize such advantages. Quelpaert is well adapted to form the last link in the long chain of maritime stations. On this subject we would remind the reader that about three years ago Captain BeLlher was charged by the Admiralty with making a hydro graphical survey of the Japanese waters, that within the last few years especially, Englishmen, disguised as the subjects of the Celestial Empire, have, at the risk of their lives, entered Japan on board the Chinese junk trading thither, - and that the English Go vernment has more than once attempted to obtain Japan. These fur a direct trad e w i t h t h e su bj ects of These efforts have, indeed, a l ways f a i led of success, but with perseverance, patience, an d i n case of need open force, England has ever succeeded iu attaining its object—the extension of its trade. Even at the period of the opium war, it was undieguisedly declared in the English press, as well as on 'Change, that the seclusion of the Japanese empire must necessarily cease, and that the opening of its ports would be an unavoidable conse quence of that war. As is well known, Japan admits only the Chinese and Dutch, whose trade is, moreover, subject to numerous conditions and limitations ; they are only allowed to visit Nangasaki with a certain num ber of vessels, while every other port is unconditionally closed to foreigners. England is now impelled by a perfectly legitimate curiosity to seek admission to the Japanese people, and to make them acquainted with the blessings of European political economy and English free trade. It is against all cosmopolitisun that a state so populous, and which has attained so high a degree of peculiar civilisation, should, in the nineteenth century, obstinately withhold itself from all interchange of ideas with Europe. The Japanese Government, however, well know why for two centuries and a half it has kept Eu ropeans at a distance, the bitterest experience has taught it prudence. When the Portuguese first landed in Japan, foreigners were received with a kindness and tolerance of which even modern Europe can offer no parallel; they th scarcelyethousands ut ae w nn e ds s e bt oeo freely r s e pp e rr l oe y sa edallowed lpermittedytheesr nr Severalat iog Christian o tr n a d a p e n n a cms t. et daas make states were hundredsh t i o c b h aAp w sti ou i saet would d f, and under Gregory XIII., an embassy proceeded from IJTuaihtepehraeanadmnt anxiety ii ß oet ati ooy,mni Malacca, tafh t o show ateheeedaiif their a u n sdiffusion Portuguese, Macao, o re f c s respect Christianity for .steipvai h enr, re t i ,tdyv who ht, washh eo o l Emperor with fa ther.

Since that time no Portuguese has been allowed to enter Japan. The Europeans, however, were not absolutely excluded, and in 1611 Spanish and Dutch embassies arrived almost simul taneously at Jeddo. The first was denied admission, because they came tricked out in velvets and silk, and allowed their haughty arrogance to appear too visible ; the latter attained their object through their shop-keeping artifices, and the most submissive humility. Since then Holland has driven a trade with Japan, which, although very circumscribed, and only permitted under the most humiliating conditions, has yet excited the envy of other maritime nations. These latter have frequently, al. though fruitlessly, endeavoured to open the ports of this kingdom; even the efforts of Admiral Krusenstein in 1804, whose death has lately been announced, were un successful. The negotiations in which he then engaged show the Japanese in the best Ight ; they acted towards their unwelcome guests with the greatest consideration, with a delicacy and a willingness which left nothing to be desired. The negotiations were conducted by the imperial plenipotentiaries with a politeness and ability which would do honour to the most refined European diplomatist. if, then, the English now give it to be un derstood that it is against all the laws of nations that Japan, which knows nothing of the European law of na tions, and in its exclusiveness can dispense with this highly elastic law, should seclude itself from intercourse with Europeans, we might give them for answer a diplo matic note (if we may so use the term) which was de livered to the Russians in 1805, and which may find a place here :—" In ancient times ships of all nations freely came to Japan, and the Japanese were allowed to visit foreign countries ; but about a century and a half ago an emperor impressed upon his successors no longer to allow their subjects to leave the country, and far ther, to give the Dutch, the Chinese, the Coreans, and the inhabitants of the isiand of Rinkin only, access to Japan. Other nations have repeatedly made attempts. .to contract relations of friendship and commerce with Japan, but they have been obliged to be refused, in con formity with the ancient orders; moreover, it would be dangerous to form friendly relations with an unknown power, unless they rested on the bases of equality; for friendship is like a chain, which, to perform a special purpose, must consist of a certain number of links. If one part of the chain is strong, but another weak, those links which are weaker will soon break. Thus friend ship can only cause hurt to the weaker party. Thir teen years ago a Russian ship, commanded by Lieute namanbtaLssaardm. r an fr , o c m am t c h e t o g J re a a p t an E , a m n p d er n o o r w of an ß o u th s s e i t a • a h i as th a a r n_ rived. The first was not received without mistrust, but the second in a friendly manner. The Emperor of Japan has willingly done all in his power, consistent with the laws of the empire; he regards the arrival of this second Russian vessel with pleasure, as a proof of the amity of the Emperor of Russia. That mighty monarch has sent him an ambassador, and valu able presents. Were these received, the Em peror of Japan must, according to traditions es teemed as highly as laws, also on his side send an ambassador to the Emperor of Russia, with pre sents of at least equal value. But every inhabitant and every ship of the empire is expressly forbidden to leave the same. Moreover, Japan is so poor that it can offer nothing comparable to objects of such costliness. The Emperor can thus decidedly receive neither the ambas sador nor the presents. Japan has but few wants, and the productions of other countries are of little use to it. If its soil denies to it a small number of really useful productions, and if custom has made it acquainted with a few other wants, these are supplied to it in sufficient quantity by its trade with the Chinese and the Dutch. Besides, luxury must not be countenanced. There are great difficulties in the way of introducing an extensive trade here, because all intercourse between the people and foreign sailors is expressly forbidden by law." It must be allowed this ultimatum delivered to Heron Von Rcesonoff is as politely, as it is concisely and decidedly expressed, and that the buccaneering expeditions of the Russian naval officers, Chwostoff and Davidoff, who shortly aster attacked the island of Sachalia, and wantonly encamped on the Japan Kuriles, were ill calculated to make the Japanese abandon their system. The attempts of the Americans to procure admission into Nangasaki, for their vessels under the Dutch flag likewise failed, and when in 1837 the Marmion, an American ship, brought some Japanese sailors, picked up by it, back to the native country, the severe regulations were rigidly maintained against them. Parker and Williams, who wrote an ac count of this voyage, declaim, like the English, against the obstinacy of the Japanese, as people who understood not the law of nations. The Europeans have not, how• ever, often acted in a manner to command esteem. In 1808 Captain Pellew, in the English man-of-war Phaeton, pursued some Date* merchantmen into the bay of Nangasaki, under the Netherlands flag, and the agents suspecting nothing, went to meet him ; they were taken prisoners and kept on board the Phaeton. The Japanese governor, who is responsible to his Emperor for the safety of the Dutch dwelling on Dezima, fell into the greatest embarrassment, which was increased when the Phaeton entered the harbour and steered right upon I)esima, without a lootsen or permit. It was only with much trouble that Captain Pellew was induced to depart. This incident, as Siebald expressly remarks, has not been forgotten in Japan, and the dislike towards England has been thereby raised to a great height. The governor o Nangasaki was reduced to such despair by the event, that he assembled his family and servants, and, as is the custom of the country, ripped open his belly in their presence. The other officers followed his example, an' the Viceroy of the province, although at the time a Jeddo, was cast into prison, because the officer appointe. by him had not been attentive enough. Besides this, the family of the Governor was obliged to pay a year's sa lary of about 1,000/. sterling. On board of the above• named ship, the Morrison, was the Chinese missionare and interpreter, Gutzlaff, who was visiting the Chinese coast in smuggling vessels, and aho condemns most se verely the conduct of the Japanese in thus cxcludine themselves from all intercourse with other nations. Ac cording to all probability, things will take the followir course, either now or at some future time. Some En; lish vessel, well manned and armed, appears before Japanese port for the purpose of engaging in trade. Ti authorities do their duty and refuse it entrance. Job Bull, meanwhile, perseveres in his design, the Jepane command him to quit the harbour, he refuses to stir, a. is warned to depart by a cannot shot from the harbotu battery, and perhaps a ball kills a sailor. The Eaten, now cry for vengeance, as the law of nations has be( broken, war is declared, and finally peace is conclude after the Japauese have granted the English admi sion to such and such ports, and consented to pay much silver. At least that was the mode of procedu in China. We see no peaceful way for England open to herself the Japanese markets. We will silo that attempts are made, through the Chinese interventio . to obtain permission to lay their wishes before the Cou of Jeddo by a special embassy, and that this wish granted. But then there are ten things to one again success : first, that the English will not submitto:i humiliating ceremonial to whic h the Du t c h second,suh submit, that thus certainly offend the Emperor ; and h. threw as many ultimatum is given to the m similar to Thethat Dreucteeihve,dtt would act foolishly , u nless they l the Russian envoy fo rt y y ears ago. anese for keeping oscsoibulledinblmtahee hwtaye j o f a t p heir powerful rive fß d a r es a s n ai ds c e e a ss who,s possible fromthem people who, having, not hundred years ag o built a miserable fort in the jungle the Hooghlv, soon conque red all India therefrom ?
