Wend Porte= Wanted .~+~' V. v ~ .. _ a CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty In meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the snored conditions of Matrimcheque rony, d i d d they feel themselves eq ual to its obligations; and the page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affee tioa to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigahle anguish and fettered solitariness into which his afilitaced to be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections- of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will snake such excuses for precrastination as contribute to his selfish desir of excsively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accept i ng othe r offers. There Is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as •to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. source The d i squa lifi c ations for Marriage ha ve more than one primary the chief of which is 1m puisss.nce, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural De fi ciency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the beattheg kenin eects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera en ; n e xt sources of importance are here ditary and acquired disease ; and. lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when 111-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and Ise fails to consult even his own medical attendant.

[PRICE: SD. to prevent the expression of opinion—pledges to eschew all participation in its acts have been penned by employed pamphleteers, and presented for signature to the public through the medium of viceregal tradesmen. The society desired to discuss with friendly calmnesss the means of restoring to our social system the parts requisite for its harmonious and tranquil working. The Government, illustrating in its act the necessity of its false position, rather than its natural inclination, meets that desire for cairn discussion by ungenerous and hostile agitation. If this character has been given to the opposition to the project, it is not the society which is to blame, nor should it in justice to its own views yield them up at once to senseless and unjustifiable clamour. Its appeal is to the good sense of the country, to its sound reason, and its informed judgment in their futufe action on our rulers. Entertaining these opinions, the society, acting constitutionally, will court inquiry, and meet argu ment by argument, till discussion shall have elicited truth. "The next point the Committee desire to call atten tion to is, the practicability and Parliamentary ad advantages of the measure itself. Objections under this head resolve themselves into two classes—the one refers to the character and description of the law makers likely to attend the proposed session ; the other to the character and description of the laws they are likely to make. " Your Committee will apply themselves to both. "The first objection presented to them is, that it will be impracticable for Cabinet Ministers to take any part in Irish Parliamentary proceedings, should those be of such a nature as to require their attend ance. This assertion amounts virtually to this—that during the; recess, when no Parliament is sitting in London, and at the time when most of those person ages are now in the habit of amusing themselves at their country residences, neither they nor any work ing portion of them could find an opportunity of being together in Dublin without serious detriment to the public service. " In calmly considering the statement, it becomes in the first instance necessary to inquire from the ob jectors how many members of the Cabinet there are whose opinions on Irish subjects influence in delibe ration the decision of their colleagues. In'the Com mittee it would appear invidious to go t h rough the list of their names to answer the inquiry ; perhaps some half-dozen may be with difficulty enumerated. If it be necessary for any one of these to be in Lon don when his presence might for other reasons be desirable here, information can surely be communi cated upon paper. Bills do not pass like lightning through both Houses of Parliament ; nor is legisla tion as rapid in its workings as the imagination pro ductive of such obstacles ; nor would Ministers lose all guidance and control over their several departments during their temporary absence. All the arguments so industriously used against the project derived from the facilities of communication between London and Dublin, on this point at least, cut both ways ; with this difference, that their absence would be in the one case brief and temporary for the one country, while now it is permanent and perpetual for the other. " Nor, supposing their attendance to be requisite, would it seriously interfere with the period of relaxa tion necessary to recruit their health. and strength ? Irish business being conducted here to its successful termination would cease to offer its irregular inter ference with the Imperial business of the country at large, and thus help materially to diminish the labour and protracted duration of the London session. In law-making, as in other trades, the division of labour will possess its natural advantages, and time saved' will be time gained' for the Cabinet Minister as for the artizan. " What other counsellors would meet together would of course very much depend upon the character of the measures to be discussed. All Members con nected with Ireland not simply by representation merely, but by the possession of property, whether in land, mortgages, banking shares, railway scrip, or other investment, would naturally in any case take an interested part in our legislation—the Caven dishes, Stanleys, Fitawilliams, Russells, Pagets, Thynnes, Pettys, and Talbots—the Beresfords, Boyles, Courtenays, Capels, Conynghams, the Adairs—Lords Palmerston, Jocelyn, Ebrington —Messrs. Shirley, Lennard, Os borne, Clive, Ormsby Gore,: Baldwin, Stafford O'Brien, Shar man Crawford. How many names rush in crowds to the mind in an endeavour to enumerate them I Nay, the very Aldermen of the city of Lon don,—the Thompsons, Copelands, and Humpherys. All these are Irish proprietors, andi would be obliged by self-interest to take their share in the conduct of Irish local affairs, and in framing Irish Parliamentary enactments. " To these, as well as to the local representatives, would be conjoined all those busy and untiring spi rits—those living encyclopaedias of blue-book know ledge, whose minds, well stored with information, require but practical acquaintance with us to make very useful and valuable advisers. " Upon these, and men like these, thoughtfully desirous of the welfare of Ireland, because conducive to their own, zealously anxious to prevent Irish mal administration from continuing to be productive of English deterioration, would legislation probably de volve, so long as the Parliament confined itself to its legitimate operations. The Committee freely admit that the mass of uninterested obstruction now found cumbrously detrimental to sound and well-considered legislation would probably vanish and disappear. No noisy shouters would disturb debate, or be heard, night after night, vociferating ill-timed interruptions from back benches ; business could be attended to — business could be done—arguments could be heard, could be listened to, could make their impression, and could influence Government. " But it has been said such a Parliament would not confine itself to its legitimate operations. Upon this portion of the subject the Committee hopes to be able to present its report at the next meeting of the so ciety, when they also will endeavour to show the mis taken analogy supposed to exist between the cases of the Scotch and Irish Unions. " WM. FITZGERALD, Chairman." Ordered to be printed and inserted on the minutes. Letters were then read, new members admitted, and the society adjourned until Monday next, after a vote of thanks to its chairman. MORE GEMS FROM THE " HUE AND CRY." In the last two numbers of the Hue and Cry we find the following gems : Under the head of Monaghan county is the follow ing description of " three yearling calves :"—The first is described as "a bull, all white, with brown stripes over his shoulders," and his horns are " short, wide, and in good condition." " A heifer calf, all red or yellow, except a white face " "horns six inches long, value 3/. 135."! ! Mr. Robert Creig, of Ballysodare, county Sligo, lost a horse, which is described as " entirely bright bay," with legs rather long forthe body, and the legs all black, except the off fore, which is white above the fetlock and the hair off the " fore knees" This truly unique horse, it is further stated, has a " white star on the forehead, which is very badly shod" ! Under the head of Tipperary there is a description of three persons unknown "who Oared at William Tracy, of Springfield, barony of Kilnemanagh, which (the pistol, we suppose) missed fire, and then gave him several blows of stones, which inflicted a slight cut on his head, and then ordered him to leave the place !" (An extraordinary pistol that !) John Sexton is a decided martyr, at least in the Hue and Cry. He was described heretofore as having two blue eyes, with one of them blind. He is now stated to be by trade a labourer, and supposed to be in Kilkenny at present, or gone to England or Scotland to reap the harvest ! Tyrone is not without its gems. Amongst some persons who are described as having escaped from Omagh gaol on the 30th of August are—Patrick Quinn, who, it is said, "has brown eyes which lost the toes off the right foot," and John White, with " grey eyes which wore a fustian jacket !" Under the head of Wexford county (seldom men tioned in the Hue and Cry) is a description of a he ass stolen from Arklow, the townland of which is said to be " rising four years old !" FATAL ACCIDENT AT TUE NEVI \VORCESTER. CORN EXCIIANGE.—WORCESTER, TUESDAY.—A sin.zular fa tality appears to attend the building of two rival corn exchanges in this city. This morning an inquest was held before Mr. Hyde, the local coroner, on the body of a stone mason, named James Powell, who was engaged, with others, in the erection of a new corn exchange on the site of the old market in this city, and while occu pied in assisting to raise a heavy block of Cornish stone, lay means of a pulley, he slipped from the scaffolding at the top of the building, and fell to the floor, a distance of upwards of fifty feet. On being picked up by his fellow-labourers, it was found that he had fractured his skull, and received other very serious injuries. lie was carried to the Worces ter Infirmary, where he died shortly after his arrival. Verdict, " Accidental death." A precisely similar accident happened a few weeks ago at the rival corn exchange just completed. A man en gaged at the top of the building fell to the ground from the scaffolding, and was killed on the spot. AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.—If the guardians of Bedlam have missed one of their inmates, they may bear tidings of him by applying at our office, as we have recentl met with a gentleman who believes that the funds vo y ted for Ireland went to the ppon—The Puppet Show, . THE MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY IN TOXTETH PARK, LIVERPOOL. The following particulars were stated at the prelimi nary portion of the inquest, which was commenced on Monday afternoon, before Mr. Curry, but necessarily postponed until this day (Tuesday), several witnesses, whose evidence was requisite, not being in attendance. Jamas Calderbank, a glass.cutter, said in effect—l live in Henderson-street, and - knew the deceased parties by the name of Howarth. On Sunday morning I saw, while at my own house, three females at Mr. Webster's house, opposite to mine. They knocked, and he came down and spoke to them. Mr. Webster then came across the street, and asked me to go with him to Mr. Howarth's house, as he (Mr. II.) and his wife had been missing for some time. We went there together, and not being able to get in by the front door, which was fast, went to the back. We called another person, and an entrance was finally obtained by the stable. We ell went up stairs into a bed-room, the door of which was halropen. When we entered, we saw the body of Mr. Howarth lying on the bed, partly across it from the bottom to the top. He was lying partly on the right side. We saw his face. We then saw the body of Mrs. Howarth lying on the floor, her legs partly under the bed. I saw no blood about him, but a good deal about her. I did not examine the bodies, I was so much shocked. I went for two police-officers, and returned with them to the back door. I did not again enter the house. I did not particularly notice what was in the room. I have known Mr. Howarth about 15 years. He was a confectioner. He and his son did not live on good terms. James Baird, a police-officer, was called by the last witness, who said a man and a woman were dead in Park-place, and went with him to the house. Another officer was called by the last witness. Baird continued : —I asked last witness if he knew how it had happened, and if it were a murder. He said he did not know. -We all went together and entered at the back by the stable. We went up stairs to the front room facing the street. One or two other persons were with us. We saw the deceased, Mr. Howarth, lying in bed, partly on his right side, and lying diagonally, from corner to corner. He was quite dead. The female was lying on the floor, partly on her side, and with her legs partly under the bed. She was also quite dead. I supposed, from the way she was lying, that she might have fallen out of bed. Her head and neck were bare. He had no coat, and he had the rest of his clothes on, excepting his shoes. A doctor was sent fur by the superintendent. I saw two basins in the room, like wash-hand basins, one larger than the other. There was something in both of them of a dark colour, as if persons had been vomiting in them. This morning I found a small pill box on the wash-hand stand (produced), with what appeared to be a small quantity of white powder in it. Here the CORONER, finding that the several witnesses requisite to maintain the chain of evidence had not come up, felt it necessary to defer further proceedings. Ile noticed that the bodies appeared to havo been found in rather a different posture from that in which the jury and himself had that day seen them. lie said he had learned from the surgeon who had examined the bodies that there was no doubt but that both the parties had been poisoned; but he had not yet been able to as certain precisely the nature of the poison, for it was not of the usual corrosive substances; but he expected to be enabled to determine it by to- morrow. He should, there fore, postpone the case rather than adjourn it, and he thought it would be better to commence de novo, when all the witnesses were present. We have learned from a party who visited the apart ment in which the tragedy was so privately and fearfully performed that the spectacle was a truly frightful one. Beside the female was a pool of blood, and her head pre sented a number of contusions, on both sides, and espe cially over the left eye, and it remains to be seen how this can be reconciled with the absence of violence, which, however, might not be sufficient to produce death. But it were improper to speculate in this stage of the proceedings. The inspector of police,. who visited the house after the police-officers were first -there, found a h com mon pint jug, with a tea-spooninit, and which con tained a small incrustation of a white substance at the bottom. This has not yet been examined.—Liverpool ;ndard. THE FRENCH NAVY. The Constitutionnel contains some interesting facts relative to the French navy. IZ setiout by reciting the Royal ordinance of the 22d of 'NoveNber, 1846, which fixed the naval peace establishment ,at 40 ships of the line (24 afloat and 16 on the stocks), 50 frigates (40 afloat and 10, on the stocks), 136 vessels of an inferior class afloat, 100 steam -vessels (all afloat), and two float ing batteries with from 40 to 50 guns.—Total, 328 ships. In November, 1846, the Navy board, in order to com plete the projected establishment, had to construct about 17 ships of the line, 27 frigates, 85 it4erior vessels, 32 steamboats, and 2 floating batteries. demanded seven years and 03,000,0001', (3,700,0000 to execute the works. The delay and the trinney were granted. The year 1847 passed away in preparatory measures. The works in the arsenals was conducted slowly and con fusedly. The expenses were ill calculated, and the sum voted for the wages of the operatives was exhausted before the conclusion of the works which those wages were intended to represent. The money allotted for the purchase of materials was consequently applied to the payment of wages. In 1848 the naval administration appeared disposed to display more activity and snore order. A statement of the constructions to be executed during the present year, to make up for lost time, was laid before the public. It was satisfactory, but events prevented its accomplishment. The revolution of Feb ruary took place, and the new Government lost sight of the navy is the midst of the difficulties which surrounded them. The Constitutionnel then goes on to show that none of the measures adopted by the Government of the Republic have tended to the advantage of the navy. The abolition of slavery in the French colonies has forced 4,000 French seamen previously employed in the colonial trade to emigrate to the United States. Corporal punishment has been abolished in the French navy, and the comforts of the men have been increased at a cost of 1,900,000 f. (76,0000, for the year 1848, but that measure has not added a ship nor a seaman to the French navy. The French navy now consists of 24 sail of the line afloat, 38 frigates, and 86 steam-vessels. Of those 24 ships of' the line, 12 require to be replaced in conse quence of their age. Ot the 38 frigates there are 19 condemned, and of the 86 steam-boats not more than 70 are effective. The situation of the French fleet is, in faCt, such as it was on the Ist of January, 1846. As compared with the fleet of Great Britain that of France is comparatively insignificant. As compared with the other maritime powers it comes after Russia; and if the 12 ships of the line and the 19 frigates are deducted, the French fleet falls short of those of Sweden and Hol land. Tho Constitutionnel next observes, that it is im possible the French fleet can be improved during the present year, inasmuch as the Minister of Finance re quires a diminution of 30,000,000'. (1,200,0000 to be saved in the Navy budget. That announcement has caused the utmost consternation amongst the operatives employed in the French dockyards. SERIOUS FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—A little before six o'clock yesterday morning smoke was discovered issuing from the premises of Mr. Wright (late Rigby and Wright), timber-merchant, of Nelson-street , imme diatel y contiguous to and in the rear of Dr. Rafiles's chapel. The fire, the origin of which is unknown, broke out in the lath-room, whence, from the extreme dryness of the materials, it rapidly spread to the surrounding timber; the store-room in the yard, forming one side of Grif fithi-street, was completely destroyed, and its valuable contents, chiefly mahogany and furniture woods, fell a prey to the flames. The engines of the West of Eng land Company and of the Liverpool fire-police were quickly on the spot, but, from a total absence of water from the mains for a considerable time after their arri val, they were rendered inoperative. At the time we are writing (9 A.M.), the fire is burning vigorously on the site of the store-room, but all danger of its extending is happily past. The premises and stock, we learn, were insured, but whether so as to cover the damage, which must necessarily be very great, we do not know, Mr. Wright being absent from town. Had the flames extended in the opposite direction to which they did, in all probability that beautiful structure, Great George street Chapel, would ere this have been again in ruins.— Liverpool Standard. CITY Commlssfort or SEWERS.—Yesterday a pub lic court of the CoMmissioners of Sewers for the city of London was held at their council chamber in the Guild hall; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The statement of Mr. Heywood, the surveyor, who had been specially appointed to report upon the practicability of emptying the cesspools in the City by night instead of by day,was read. It recommended in general terms, as these ope rations were to a great extent inoffensive, that they should be carried on as much as possible in the daytime, particularly where the traffic was not likely to be much interfered with. —Mr. Kemp said if this recommendation were acted upon they should render themselves liable to a penalty under the Act, which expressly provided that these operations should not be carried on between the hours of five in the morning and eleven at night. —Mr. Heywood said that the Act referred to the empty ing of cesspools by night carts. The present process, however, was wholly inoffensive.—Mr. Blake and other Commissioners concurred in this view of the case.—Mr. Deputy Cornet' inquired whether this sewage matter, as it was all deodorised,, .would not be extremely valuable as a manure, aad whether persons might not be found who would he I,ilad to take it away at their own expense. This vtould be- miich preferable to car rying it all into the TheWs.—Mr. lleywoed said thtit . ,iro d.arbt, when this matter was prepared ,and reduced to a highly concentrated state it became extremely useful as manure; but, in its present condition, it was not so valu able that any one Would remove it without being paid.— The report was at length received and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The various accounts were then audited and agreed to, and the Court adjourned. THE INTEREST ON THE GREEK LOAN —A further instalment of interest due to British creditors to the amount, as is reported, of 8,0001., reached Malta on the 7th September, in five-franc pieces, by her Majesty's steamer Meteor, from the Plum*. of Athens, to the con signment of the Governor of Malta, who immediately paid same into the commissariat or military chest, autho rised to receive same under orders from the Right lion. the Lords of the British Treasury. The five-franc piece is now worth four shillings Brit 44 currency. DNESDAY EV NING PUBLICATIONS. MR. BENTLEY WILL PUBLISH TO-MORROW, MANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN'S NEW ROMANCE, In 2 vela. post Bvo., 11.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more englipssing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends.

LONDON. THE BUILDERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.— Yesterday evening a meeting of the members and com mittee of the above institution, was held at the Free masons' Tavern, for general business; Mr. G. Bird in the chair. The society was founded twelve months since, for giving relief and granting pensions to decayed mem bers of the various branches of the trade, their widows and orphans, also temporary relief to workmen in cases of accident, and likewise to form a separate fund for the erection of an asylum for decayed masters, their wives, and widows. The report congratulated the members on the steady progress which was being made, the sub scriptions and donations amounting to nearly 1,0001. The annual income was about 2001., and it proposed. as soon as it is increased to 3001. to commence the relief fund, there being already several distressing appeals for assistance. The report made a forcible appeal•to the trade, to enable them to dispense relief. The Stranraer oysters are being brought into the Greenock market more plentifully this week. They are small in size, but extremely well filled, and very sweet. On the fishing ground they were sold at 17s. to 18s. per 1,000 and are retailing here at 3s. per 100,--Glasgow paper. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—AII continues most marvel lously tranquil, not even a ripple on the surface to disturb the calm which set in concurrently with the opening of the Special Commission. The corre spondent of the News Letter, writing last night from Clonmel, thus describes the state of that district:— " The town is perfectly quiet—there is not the slightest excitement, and the surrounding country is also tranquil. The mission of the military and police to Knocklofty and the adjoining districts resulted, 1 understand, in the arrest of two or three cou ntr y people who were not able to g ive a satisfactory account of themselves. The statement that Bar on Parke is coming here to assist the judges in expound ing the criminal law is, I have been informed, un founded. The aid of any English judge is assuredly unnecessary while Chief Justice Blackburne is one of the presiding judges at the Commission. The name of Baron Parke is not in the document nominating the judges—the Irish judges alone are empowered to act ; and those before whom the Court was opened are, as has been already stated, Chief Justice Blackburne, Chief Justice Doherty, and Mr. Justice Moore. It is s ta o t e d f hthisatßa experienceron Pennefather will g ive the benefit to ibis brother judges, if it be necessary for him to do 'so. His Lordship lives upon his estate, which is between three and four miles from Clonmel, and, as he is named in the com mission, it is very probable that he will be present at the trial, or at least in the Judges' chamber , i f a consultation be advisable. Baron Parke will , i t is believed, come to Knocklofty Castle, the seat of the Earl of Donoughmore, and it is very likely that he, too, will be in court during the trials. I have just learned that a man named Patrick Cunningham has been arrested on a charge ckUressonable practices. He. was rather a respectable-married man with family, and was' in the establishment of Barry, Tenin, and Company, Carrick-on-Suir. Being fearful of arrest, he left his employment, and while on his way to Limerick was taken into custody by a detective who got into conversation with him upon a car, and extracted from him that he was a good deal ,impli cated in the rebellious movements which for some time have been going on, and was the leading mem ber of a club in Kerry. The prisoner was conveyed to Tipperary by railroad, and thence in the custody of four police-constables on one of Bianconi's cars to Clonmel, where he is now confined. Information has been received of a gathering of the people upon a hill not far from Thurles, to disperse which a number of military were dispatched ; but nothing of any serious character need be anticipated from this event. The State prisoners, except Mr. Leyne, are in good health. The privilege extended to Mr. O'Brien, of seeing the members of his family, and professional advisers, at all reasonable hours during the day, has beenlimited to particular periods, owing to a complaint made by another of the State prisoners, that a similar privilege had not been con ferred upon him." It is understood that the counsel for the defence of Mr. O'Brien have finally decided not to call Lord J. Russell into the witness-box. Touching the Premier's appearance in Court, the Evening Herald observes " After all, we shall not have the Prime Minister on the table at Clonmel. It has just been discovered that Mr. S. O'Brien's advisers were mistaken, not in the nature of the documents in reference to which Lord J. Russell received a Crown summons, but with respect to the individual actually compromised by them. The facts, as they were believed by Mr. O'Brien's friends at the time when the summons was delivered, were exactly as we then stated them. It is, however, now ascertained that Lord J. Russell is not implicated, at least directly, in the disclosures which were looked for. It is perfectly true that a noble lord, who held a foremost place among the Reformers, and afteiwards one of the highest offices to which a subject can -aspire, did actually Rending- the reform riots write alletter, at this moment in existence, inviting a gentleman then holding the rank of colonel to place himself at the head of 50,000 men, and march upon London, for the purpose of overbearing opposition by terror. We cannot say whether evidence to this effect will be tendered, or whether the necessary Crown summons has been served; but, although the illegality of such evidence was clearly established, and there existed, of course, no chance of its being admitted, even its tenor and the comment of counsel in the case we speak of would lose much of their point and meaning, for the party actually implicated by the letters is not a mem ber of the present Cabinet. In conclusion, we have to state that Lord John Russell has been written to by Mr. O'Brien's solicitor, ;apprizing him that his attendance at the ensuing trial will be dis p ensed with." THE CONVICT JOHN MARTIN - . The following appears in the Freeman of this morning : " We deeply regret to announce that Mr. Martin has been labouring under fever for the last week, and that he is at present in a very precarious stat e. He is attended by his own private physician, and also by Dr. Banon, the medical attendant of the prison, and it appears that but slight hopes are entertained of the patient's recovery." PERIODICAL SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT The Society for Promoting the Periodical Sittings of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin met yesterday at their rooms in the Northumberland bu i ld ings ; Lord William Fitzgerald in the chair. The following report was presented by the sub committee appointed on the last day of meeting : The sub- committee h av i ng ca refully , considered the objections hitherto made to-the project for pro moting annual sittings of the Imperial Parliament in h the Dublin, feel it-to be their duty to lay before the so ciety their first report on the subject, thong y a re fullyaware that it is, in many respects, a very imperfect one. " The allegations made in opposition_ to the objec, of the society hare been generally of a very vague and indefinite character; Your committee will en deavour to refer to each of them in its turn, briefly and yet fully, not mis - stating it, and being most anxious to be set right should they appear to do so. " The first leading objection, and the on e a pp arently most relied upon, is ' the mischief of agitatio n ; an objection founded on the hypothesis tha t a state of things so unsatisfactory as to render discussion unhen ne ' ce ssary exists in Ireland; a position w hich, w thus clearly stated, is so remote from t he truth that, so far as your Committee is aware, n o ob j ector has had the hardihood to support it. That a g itations have latterly been the occasion of vast evil t he Committee freely admit, and the main advantage they promise themselves in the success of their project is the ulti mate cessation of those - manifestations of moral and physical force which the ill-balanced and ungoverned position of the country have hitherto rendered not only practicable but continuous. Deeply interested in bringing about the permanent tranquillization of Ireland, the chief object of the Committee is ' to seek peace and insure it.' They desire nothing so much as to relieve the country from that wasting. agitation which is the immediate cause of most of her miseries, but which must continue so long as the influence of the legislative classes remains abstracted from Irish society, the regulation of its feelings, and the direction of its energies being altogether retained in other hands. The Committee knows that the in ititutions of British society ha ve g ro wn up in ac iccordance with the existence of these elements in her social system. They see th e En g lish community easily guided through tranquilli t y to prosperity by the co-operation in all its parts o f m onarchical, aris• tocratical, and democratical machinery, well fitted, and working easily and. safely tog eth er. It appears `o them that in Ireland, on the contrary , the attempt is made to work the British social machine without either its regulator or male wheels , the means resorted to to supply the defects in its movements being utterly inadequate. They c annot doubt b u t th at i n the insufficiency of the patchwork is to be found the n ecessary cause of those unfortunate agitations and disturbances which are •sO banefully operati ve . A Court that is not a C ourt is the substitute f or royalty. Viceroyalty, so const i t uted as to be a gigantic un reality, is not only not the regulator, but is actually in itself the disturber of society. It is and can be but the centre of intrigue, the focus that collects and renders intense the emanations of the spirit of syco phancy and place -hunting, which is the direct opposite of that independence and industry d by which a nation c an be elevated int o prosperity an wealth. It s fi n . mediate accompaniment is a host of persons who, in the absence of an aristocracy, lead th e peop l e , an d ascend through a cou rse of agitation into the heights of office. " The Committee does not believe that any system of agitation which offers rewards to its promoters, and which is in itself a necessary attendant and sup port to mock authority, will cease and determine at the bidding of either the press or the Ministry. It sees that even the attempt made by the society to evoke a calm and temperate discussion upon an im portant public question has been encountered by agitation of the most unreasoning character—discour teous misrepresentation of its motives and objects have been unfairly put forward by the organs of the Executive. The names of respected and influential citizens have been forged to its disparagement—all the influence of the Government press has been used , ,~ ~.., _ _ ` r ~~•__.._ ~..5,. A ' S .ILISM. W. DAyEs , . , EL MARTIN FOR 501 Alglsg• yhe eneaunter _ 2se professors of the pugilate‘took ace yesterday, on the brown heath-clad common or Woking, a water party, at this precarious and chilly season of the year, being wisely eschewed, and the rail of the South-western patronised. The interest which.. the match gave birth to was manifest by the atteedance. of betwc en three and four hundred a the London divi sion, recruited by a tolerable gathering of the natives of" the parts adjacent to the scene of action. Martin has been long before the public as a pugilist ,• his game battles with 0. Attenbury and Williams, at the outset or his career, and his more skilful, though less fortunate ones with Tom Lane, Phelps, of Brighton (twice), to gether with his defeat of 13arnash, on this very ground, bear testimony to high skill and good con fidence on the part of his backers. True it is, that there were not wanting those who insinuated that Martin's want of success in his remarkable battles with Phelps and Lane was attributable rather to lack of game and perseverance than to physical incapacity. Such, however, as witnesse d to-da y 's con test will concess their error, for, though defeated, Martin's conduct a as courageous in the extreme, until his strength left him, which it always appears to db after a certain period, whatever lead or advantage he may have ac quired by his skill and science. Hayes is, in comparison ith Martin, a fresh youth, as yet in his novitiate, and a I , lsely plant if not brought too rapidly forward, against ti first -rater, apt as he has shown himself, at each succeed ing appearance in the roped arena, first with Finn; se condly with Cooper; and now with the accomplished Mar-: tin, he has much to learn before it will be safe to match him with the top of the light weights, as was yesterday talked of among his more sanguine admirers. The inner and outer rings being duly formed by the veteran commissary, at twenty-five minutes before twelve, the men advanced from their corners and shook hands manfully, and threw themselves into position. Martin esquired by Turner and young Sambe, while Maley and Barnash waited on Hayes. The weights were —Martin, 9st. 71b., Hayes 9st. 61b. Hayes having the advantage of length of reach, Martin his balance of weight in muscularity of build. The sparring, feints, and stops were numerous and skilful, and elicited loud applause from the critics in this branch of the arts of attack and defences. Hayes at length got in a trifling tap on Martin's left eye, which flushed the skin a little; Martin returned heavily with the right on the body, pretty mutual stops of left-handed counters, at length brought them to a rally, when Martin got home over Elayes's left eye. The second round was similar in cha racter, Mayes undermost in close. In the third Hayes got the first event, by drawing the purple fluid slightly :rem Martin's olfactory organ, and threw him in the close. Thenceforth, the battle progressed until the 2"9th round with much equality of skill, courage, and merit; • Hayes appearing the fresher and stronger run, while Martin was the more skilful in the use of both hands. He frequently visited Hayes's side with his right, in a style that appeared consideralaly to embarrass the young one's left, and deprive it of nsuch of its hitting power. About this point Martin, who had for 62 minutes, boldly faced his man with a pros pect of victory (several times, after slipping dawns 14 V 1 P - ' ing up, and courageously renewing the round), visibly' and remarkably fell off. He became slow, and after being thrown in the 21st round, was ineffectivessand completely out in his distance, throwing away both hands widely. We cannot say that Hayes became confident, for from the outset he fought with excellent temper, coolness, good humour, and determined courage. In the 27th and 28;11 rounds Martin, after a random attempt at a rally to turn the tide in his favour, went down, t end • his last chance was out. Turner threw up the sponge, and at 93 minutes from the time of first crossing hand, Haves stepped across the ring once more to shake hands • with his defeated antagonist. Martin has thus been de feated in four battles out of the last five, a proof that • mere skill, unless seconded by a due quantum of lasting qualities, cannot successfully oppose youth, coolness, strength, and resolve. Shortly after the battle the victor was seen walking the common enjoying a cigar, the outward signs of his recent affray being by no means prominently remarkable.—Advertiser. ROYAL EXCHANGE CHIMES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM Slit,—Allow us, in justice to ourselves, to state that the ill effect of the tune " God save the Queen," as now played, is caused by its injudicious arrange ment. We have the written testimony of Mr. T. Cooke and other high musical authorities as to this fact, and as the Gresham Committee referatd the matter to Mr. Cooke, he arranged the four tunes intended to be played in such a way as to bring out the best points and effects that ca.n be prodaced on bells. Two of these tunes were completed and played to his satisfaction, but for some reason, never explained to us, they were taken off the barrel imme diately after his death, and the public were never allowed to hear them. The present miserable affair was then set after a similar fashion to that of which Mr. Cooke complained. Four tunes were contracted for to he played upon the bells`; at present, however, the monotonous chime brings into action every three hours the six smallest bells, out of a. set of fifteen. We have plenty of tes timony from high authorities as to the merits of the hells, and when justice is done to them, and they are properly treated after the suggestion of Mr. Cooke, we will guarantee such a set as will give general satisfaction. We are merely doing our duty to the public and ourselves in explaining the matter, and if no better arrangement is made, and no other tunes are played, we must absolve ourselves from any blame. 4 We have spared no pains, and will spare none, to render the chimes excellent in every particular. We can refer to the numerous peals and sets of bells we have made, and are constantly making, as to our capabilities, and it is somewhat singular that, with a reputation of a century and daily increasing experience and practice, we should incur so much obloquy in a solitary instance. 11'e are, Sir, your respectful servants, CARLES and GEORGE MEARS. Bell Foundry, Whitechapel, Sept., 1848. NARROW ESCAPE OF TIIE YACHT 4AUD.—The beautiful schooner-yacht Maud, Leigh, Esq., of the Royal Yacht Club, from Cherbourg, in running for our roads on Friday evening, about five o'clock, struck ()litho Muse() rock, one of the Lower Heads, where she hung arly a quarter of an hour. Captain Sadler, of the Sir Francis Drake, ran close to her, and offered to render any assistance, which, however, was declined. It was discovered soon after the Sir Francis Drake bad left her that she was filling last; the wind, however, being fair, she fortunately got into the harbour about seven o'elock. They were then compelled to engage a number of hands to bale out the water to keep her from sinking, the water being above the cabin deck. On the tide leaving her it was discovered that her fore-foot was split, iho deadwood and garboard streaks started about twelve feet, and her felse keel a little rubbe3. The whole of the repairs were finished in a workmanlike manner. We were happy to hear the owner, Squire Leigh, tell the captain of her, that he did not blame him in the least for the accident occurring. We strongly advise our hat beur master, Captain Collis, to have these sunken dangers buoyed on, which would evidently be of service to our pilots as well as other nautical men, as the glare of the setting sun sometimes makes it difficult to see the leading marks; at the same time we strongly recommend our yachting gentry never to attempt our roadstead without a pilot. —Guernsey Sun,Sept. 20. For extinguishing Fires, the apparatus should be readily distinguishable night and day, and always ready for use without any appliances which may be mislaid or forgotten at the very instant they are needed. With this view, Mr. Newlands says—" I propose that several lamp-posts in each street should be made receptacles for the water apparatus, the pedestal being made of a size sufficient to contain it. In each lamp-pedestal I propose that an upright hydrant be fixed, with a coil of hose, "• ' sufficient tor washing the streets, or filling the watering carts, constantly attached. The cock box I would fix in the footway, always on the same side of the larag posts, and at a constant distance from them. In the event of a fire, the firemen's hose would be instantly at tached to the hose of the standpipe by a coupling screw. ‘ The pedestals for the water apparatus being square, and those for the common lamps being round, would point out at once the place of the water apparatus; and, if necessary, the panes of such lamps might be of coloured glass, as a still greater distinctive mark by night. Every superintendent of scavengers and every fireman would he provided with a key to the door of the pedestal, and in the pedestal the key of the cock would constantly re main; thus there would be no delay in using the water for any purpose. In places where lamp-posts are not required, the pedestals merely might be used, and these might he used as guard posts at the entrance to narrow streets." The lamp irons thus made prominent, might, he thinks, be rendered still more useful by a label at tached to their tops. On these would be cast the 'lames of the streets (as at Edinburgh, we may add), and on the centre panel the distance in miles and funlongslKom I the Exchange. Coach and car faros might be thus regu lat,d.—Builder, REDCAR.—NARROW ESCAPE OF A CLERGYMAN FROM DROWNING. —On Wednesday morning an eikent occurred at this fashionable sea-bathing place which created an immense sensation, and which had, unfortu nately, well nigh terminated fatally-.
