TO THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) PLYMOUTH, APRIL 10.—The Stag, 46, Commo dore Thomas B. Sullivan, arrived from Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, after a Voyage of fifty days. She brings no intelligence of general interest or importance. The Stag is to be paid off at this port, and is expected to come into harbour 6n Tuesday next. The Glebeig, Indianian, railed on Thursday with troops for Bombay. The Driver steamer is hourly expected to arrive from the eastward with Mr. Henderson, Second Master- Attendant et this Dockyard, and the party of men that took the Vixen from this port to Chatham. The Indus, 78, Captain Sir James Sterling, is still upwards of 100 men abort of her complement, but is, in other respects, as stated by us some time since, quite ready for stn. _ (From the Southern Reporter.) At length a truly wise and patriotic movement is pro posed to the Irish people —one which every man may join, and which, if firmly and prudently , conducted, must result in solid advantages and splendid prosperity to the country. We cannot but begin to hope that it may be so when we see the two great sections of tho Liberal party amongst us uniting for work usefully and intell;gibly. In our last number we directed the atten tion of our readers to the subject of the present tenure of land in Ireland, and, in resuming it, we would refer to the important proceedings in Dublin at the Repeal Association on Monday, as demonstrating that it is not hopeless to effect a cordial union amongst all classes of Reformers on any subject plainly and clearly practicable. The efforts of the Irish people for the last twenty years have been gigantic and most noble ; their sacrifices have been incredible, and their endurance unshaken. But what have they as yet attained? Some few abstract rights and places for some lawyers! The great wrongs of the people are as yet unredressed ; the poisonous evils that taint the heartsprings and deform the face of society have as yet found no remedy, and it is a fearful subject to reflect on that so much blood and toil have been wasted. We are quite aware that abstract terms and abstract rights—Emancipation, Reform—include the principles, and are the foundation of every day happi ness, and detailed improvement ; but, with so many conflicting interests, with the deep-seated prejudices, and jealous monopolies of Ireland, we are convinced that the same ends may be substantially attained, and not unfrequently, under forms snore palatable to the shortsighted fears of many whose station and influence must be always of value to the cause of the people. Such we believe to be the present question. There appears little doubt but that it will become a rallying one. The Ulster and Repeal Associations—Sharman Crawford and Mr. O'Connell have adopted it cordially —it is ably supported by the press—and all we require now is the wise and generous co-operation of the land lords. This is, to be sure, at first sight an enormous difficulty, but we do not believe it to be insurmountable. It is proverbially hard to convince a monopolist of the value and equity of their composition, and it may seem equally quixotic to induce Irish landlords to forego their present advantages. But there are reasons, and these very grave ones—for thinking that this almost Utopian consummation may not be impossible. BRETIIREN,-In addressing you as fellow-labourers in the great cause of human liberty, we would wish to rivet this important truth on your mind : You MUST BECOME YOUR OWN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL REGENERATORS, OR YOU WILL NEVER ENJOY FREEDOM. For true liberty cannot be conferred by Acts of Parliament or decrees of Princes, but must spring up from the knowledge, morality, and public virtue of our population. Be assured, fellow countrymen, that those who have hitherto been permit. ted to rule the destinies of nations—who in their mad ness or folly have cursed the land with wars, cruelty, op pression, and crime, will ever maintain their power and ascendancy whilst they have ignorant and demoralised slaves to approve sod execute their mandates.

At Eleven o'clock precisely, On TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS, and SATURDAYS, from London Bridge Wharf, by the RE[) ROVER, (the only packet on the above Stations).

If, therefore, you would escape your present social and political bondage, and benefit your race, you must bestir yourselves, and make every sacrifice TO J4UILD UP THE SACRED TEMPLE OP YOUR OWN LIBERTIES, or by your neg lect and apathy bequeath to your offspring . an increase of degradation and wrong. Yon cannot sunose that those who revel in the spoils of labour, and live by the wretched ness they have created, will be iastrnmental in promot ing the political and social improvement of the people. They may talk of liberty while they are forging your fetters, may profess sympathy while they are aticlieg insult to wrong, and may talk of ireerneting you while they are devising the most efficient means for moulding you into passive slaves; but they will contemptuously spurn every proposal for establishing egitanttr of political rights and social obligations—the enduring basis of liberty, prosperity, and happiness. Let every man among you, then, who 14 44sircus of see ing the bounties of heaven made sub , ,rviert t', human en joyment—who would bless our land with peace sod human brotherhood, and cause the intellectual and moral capa bilities man is endowed with to spring forth in all their usefulness and excellence, anxiously to inquire hcw be can best aid the holy cause of man's E . uckl regeneration and political freedom. Tracing most of our social grievances to class legisla tion, we have proposed a political reform upon the prin ciples of the People's Charter; we have made it the po lar-star of our agitation, arid have resolved by all just and peaceful means to cause it to become the law of our country. Believing it to have truth for its basis, and the happiness of all for its end, we conceive that it needs not the vio lence of passion, the bitterness of party spirit, nor the arms of aggressive warfare for its support ; its principles need only to be unfolded to be appreciated, and being appre ciated by the majority will be e , tablished in peace. But while we implore you to direct your undivided at tention to the attainment of that just political measure, we would urge you to make your agitation in favour of it more efficient and productive of social benefit than it has been hitherto. We have wasted glorious means of useful ness in foolish displays and gaudy trappings, seeking to captivate the sense rather than inform the mind, and apeing the proceedings of a tinselled and corrupt aris tocracy rather than aspiring to the mental and moral dig nity of a pure democracy. Our public meetings have on too many occasions been arenas of passionate invective, party spirit, and personal idolatry, rather than public assemblies for calmly delibe rating and freely discussing national or local grievances, or as schools for the advancement of our glorious cause by the dissemination of facts and inculcation of principles, as it is by such teachings that our population will be pre pared to use wisely the political power they are now seeking to obtain.

Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr. Alexander ; indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased t Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home. I car. with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye- Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry. I am, Sir, yours gratefully, L. S. BREWER. Observe the Caution.—W. GRIMSTONE is the sole in ventor, and the only genuine is prepared by him.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tior.s, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference by the wdinary practitioner. To enter into the details oithese affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as rninnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied en.

Early on Wednesday morning last an accident, unhappily attended with the loss of life of one individual, and the serious injury of two or three others, occurred on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, by the blowing out of a plug from the boiler of one of the bank engines, on the inclined plane near Broms grove station, by which Mr. William Creuse, the engineer of locomotives, was so dreadfully scalded that he died in about 24 hours after. Two or three other persons, who were on the engine and tender at the time, were also more or less injured, but they are all in a fair way of recovery. On Friday evening an inquest was held at the Cross Ho tel, Bromsgrove, on the body of Mr. Creuze, when the Jury, after consulting for about half an hour. returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with a deodand of 251. upon the engine. Mr. Creuze was a young gentleman of high attainments and great promise in his profession. He was educated at Cambridge, and was generally beloved and respected by the officers and servants of the Cons- pany. His brother, who holds a situation under Govern ment at Woolwich Dockyard, arrived after the inquest on Friday evening, Accidents in Hy de Park are now of daily occurrence, principally from high-bred horses having inex perienced riders or drivers. On Thursday two of the former were thrown off, bur, not seriously hurt. On Wed nesday a young lad, servant to Prince Paul Lieven, fell with the horn, and was so much injured in the left thigh as rendered it necessary he should be carried into St. George's Hospital. The same day a groom of the Earl of Liverpool was taken to the hospital with a broken leg. A horse in a cabriolet fell in consequence of kicking over the traces, and was much hurt ; the driver, a gentleman, was pitched out, but fortunately escaped. A few days pre viously Miss Reynold, daughter of Captain Reynold, riding a spirited mare, was run away with. The animal started from Cumberland-gate, and took the whole line to Apsley House ; the lady was thrown over the iron posts near the statue of Achilles, and seriously hurt, but no limb was broken. A Mr. Artis, a poulterer in Moteomb-street, was on Wednesday thrown out of his cart at Hyde Park corner and thence taken to the hospital.

His constituents entertain Mr. Brotherton, M. P., to a public dinner at Salford on Wednesday next. For many years, the great panacea for all and every form of Irish evil was a Parliamentary Committee, and accordingly we have reports on every imaginable subject. Some of these reports are extremely valu able, and most ably compiled. On the subject of the " State of Ireland" there are many of different poli tical complexions, and returned by both Houses. In all of. them the remarkable feature stands out pro minently " the immense value of land in Ireland ;" in many places it is described as a necessary of life, and, strong as is the expression, there can be no doubt that, with our population, it is the exact truth. Including absentees, the entire number of landed proprietors in Ireland is from 10,000 to 12,000. The standard of rent is the highest value of the land, subject to the deduction only of the meanest and scantiest provision on which the tenant can ma nage to exist. This is a frightful picture. Men are spe culoting as to the source of Irish evils and Irish degra dation, demure and hypocritical economists are horrified at the terrible tragedies that from time to time have bee❑ enacted amongst us. But in common truth, or common justice, are not these two facts sufficient to account for all, and were it even more and more hor rible ? But the system does not stop there. The Irish are inured to suffering and oppression. They would to lerate the monopoly and extortion of their masters— but then their masters have been also for the last hundred years the law makers ! Statute after statute has been enacted, conferring new and formidable powers, and these powers have sever been allowed to be inactive. A deadly system of extermination has been adopted and worked out on cold calculation, so that, with a soil capable of maintaining treble its present popula lation, there are many hundreds of thousands who can not obtain, at any rent, however extravagant, permis sion to live otherwise than on the roads or in a work house. Let us briefly state some facts, Ireland is an agri cultural country, almost entirely without manufactures. In a nation of nine millions there are only ten thousand landed proprietors. Of that nation, from the terrific system of depopulation in operation, two millions are in each year either wholly, or in part, destitute. Can the ten thousand imagine that things can so continue ? But it is not to the fears of class that we would principally appeal, and, fortunately, in the present mat ter, the interests of the landlord and his tenantry are identical. It is admitted by all that the institution of property is the basis of civilization. Many of the faults that appear inherent in the character of the Irish peasant, would be removed if a fixed property gave him a motive and a reward for his industry. The system of late years in England and Ireland has been to break up all small farms, and then the value et such proceeding is instanced by the large surplus produce to be disposed of. In the first place it is evi dent that the surplus produce could be as well disposed of to a resident healthy yeomanry, as to an enfeebled city population, and secondly, it is a great deal more than doubtful, whether a large surplus is obtained, or as cheaply from large farms or from smaller ones. The Irish peasant has shown, in the temperance movement, that, under disheartening circumstances, he can exercise the most powerful self-controul ; in the experiments of late years, landlords have found no difficulty in pro curing the adoption of scientific systems of agriculture; it may, therefore,be well for them to consider whether they would not consult, for their own interests, in seeking also the happiness and comfort of the peasantry. Tue evils of Ireland never arose , from the subdivision of land, but from the uncertainty of its tenure. The high rents ex acted tended also, no doubt. to waste - the capital of the small occupier, and in the end encumbered with paupers rack-rented estates. But things are different now, and the time appears peculiarly favourable. We address the landed gentry of Ireland seriously and earnestly. There are many amongst them of high and excellent feel ing, generous and Christian impulses, and their example . may do much. The time is favourable, because the character of the people is decidedly improved—circumstances are favourable, because there is no necessity of call ing on the landlords to make any sacrifice of their incomes improved systems of cultivation, the certainty of a market in England, and the frugal habits of the people will enable them to pay punctually even the high rents now exacted. But to effect this, it is necessary everywhere, but above all in Ireland, that there should be certainty and justice in the tenure. At present the very lives of the tenant and of his family are in the hands, and hang on the breath of the land lord. Certainty then is the first requisite. The tenure should be for a fixed and considerable period. Equity is a second and indispensable improvement. At the expiring of his lease the occupier should be entitled either to a fair proportion of his capital expended, or to the option of a renewal at a proportionably calculated rent. In the details of a change so extensive, many other points will require and obtain serious attention, but these are its leading and necessary principles. Many will think any appeal to the sympathies of the londholder idle and ridiculous—we do not think so— when his sympathies are united with his interests. But the thing can be accomplished without him—more slowly, but as surely. If the Legislature were to enact that estates set up for sale under the Equity Courts should be offered in small parcels for competition, can there be a doubt as to the large prices that would be given gladly for a small independence? A few years would effect an immense change. Sooner or later such change will be—we call on every good man to help those who are working to accomplish it. BRIGHTON, APRIL 10.—The town has been filling very fast by visitors who have came down to spend the Easter holidays, and the coaches have . been reaping a harvest, in all probability their last; as it i s fully expected the railroad will be completed by Whitsuntide, and . the dly. and Lady laying down of the permanent rails is proceeding The following are amongst the distinguished visitors spending the recess here: -- Earl and Countess of Ken ,them Marchioness Lss m s e a y r e m , the ur a La r d q y u i and ou sa M e l k c h h i t i o m n o e r s e s of Bristol Queensberry, Lord Sondes, and Sir George and Lady Rose, Mr. Raikes Currie, &c. The weather is delightful at present. The gossip of the day is particularly directed to a delicate affair which is alleged to have take n pl ace i n the most fashionable square in this town. Report states that the very accomplished wife of one o f t h e leaders of fashion has been so captivated by the uniform of the " Eleventh" that she has abandoned her family of three young children to " follow the drum." The point of de parture is not far from that of an ot h er occurrence of the sa me kind last year. which caused a great sensation at the time. The Earl of Westmorland has taken the mansion on the Marine-parade for many years occupied by the late Earl of Chatham. The prospects of the Non-Intrusionists are daily getting more gloomy. It is now pretty generally believed *among well-informed persons, that the Government have resolved to interfere, in a decided manner, if any fresh act of rebellion against the supremacy of the law shall be at tempted, such as the deposition of the Strathbogie minis ters; and that, for this purpose, they intend to appoint a Commissioner to represent the Crown in the General As sembly, whose firmness and decision of character can be depended on. The Earl of Stair and Lord Dunfermline have both been spoken of as noblemen admirably qualifi e i to dischar g e th e d u ti es o f th e office. It is very generally understood that Lord Belhaven will not bo the Commis. sinner.--Scotsman. We are therefore desirous of seeing those means applied to a higher and nobler purpose, that of developing the mental and moral energies of the population, to the great end of their political freedom and social happiness. As no earthly power can prevent an intelligent people from ob taining their rights, nor all the appliances of corruption permanently enslave them, we are anxious above all things of seeing them instructAl in their political rights and social duties. Though the attainment of political power is essential to enable them to improve to any extent their physical con dition, yet we believe that a vast increase of social enjoy ment might be effected (despite a corrupt and degrading. Government), if sobriety and moral culture were more ge nerally diffased. And therefore we are desirous of se:ing our political teachers disseminating unpalatable truths against drunkenness and immorality of every description, and by precept and example endeavouring to rescue our brethren from the thraldom of their own icee, and from servilely imitating the corruptions and vices of those above them. As the children of to-day will la a f-;!w years be called upon to exercise the rights and duties of mon, it becomes our paramount duty to qualify them for their future sta tion, and not permit them to be mouldcd to the several purposes of priestcraft, sectarianism, and charity-mongers; but to devise, maintain, and execute a v.ise ;Ind just system of educa , ion, calculated t 3 develope ali the lowers and energies God has given them, to tie end that they may enjoy their own existence, and extend the greatest amount of happiness to all mankind. With no disposition to oppose the Asnociations already formed, but with an anxious desire to see all those inte rested in the social and political impre-ement of their fel low-men united in one general holy to effect it. we pro pene that such an Association be ebt:4blishe4, and that the fallowing Le its objects.

GRAND FETE AND BALL AT ST. OmEn.—The French Consul here has received instructions from the Secretary of the Duke of Orleans to send a list of such ladies and gentlemen of Dover as may wish to attend the ball to be given by his Royal Highness at St. Omer on Wednesday, the 14th inst. In the letter of invitation his Royal High ness graciously condescended to acknowledge the kind attentions he has on various occasions received while pass ing through Dover. We understand that about twenty io diviJuals from this place intend being present at the fete (which expected to be a most splendid affair), including the principal civil and military authorities of the town and garrison. The 54th Regiment, stationed at the Heights, will not kayo Dover so early as was expected. The regiment, it is understood, will remain in their present quarters till the end of the summer. On Wednc sday the whole of the troops in garrison, con sisting of the s.ith Regiment, the 34!1i depot, and the Royat Artillery, were reviewed at the Wester[? Heights by Colonel Munro, Commandant of the Garrison, ;. , om whom their discipline and soldier-like appearance drew forth the highint encomiums. During the la:A few days a number of distinguished in dividuals have passed through Dover, including his Ex cellency- Count IT:;11 Kielmansegge, the Hanoverian Ambas sador, to Calais ; the Earl of Shelburne and La;ly Kerry and suite, to Paris; the Earl of Roden, Viscount Powers court and suite, &c., from the Continent; Lord and Lady Glengall and suite, Lord and Lady Leveson, Baron Stockmar and suite, Sir Francis and Lady Sykes, &c., to the Continent. AUNCII OF HER MAJESTY'S WAR-STEAMER THE GEYSIIII.—This magnificent steam-vessel of war, the Geyser, which for several months past has been building in her Majesty's Dock-v ard, Pembroke, was launched on Thursday, amidst an immense concourse of spectators. The Geyser, which is of the first class of steam-vessels o war, was laid down at the latter end of last year, and, con sidering her tonnage (1,050 tons registered measure), it shows that an unusual degree of activity prevailed in building her. The above day having been fixed upon for the launch, the country for miles round sent forth its po palatine, and every spot, even to the tops of the houses which commanded a view of the Dock-yard and sea, was crowded to excess. The inside of the Dock-yard was filled with the elite of the town, and during the time occupied by the shipwrights in knocking away the sup porters which kept the vessel; on the stocks, the various bands amused the spectators by pe. - forming some of the most popular airs. At length the teeir of five arrived, the hour appointed r the launch, when everything being ready, the supporters were removed, and the Geyser glided majestically into her native element, the band of the garri son playing the national anthem. The colours belonging to the different vessels were hoisted on this interesting oc casion, and several pieces of cannon were discharged from different points. On board of the Geyser was a large as semblage of persons of both sexes, who joined with those in the dock-yard and outside in giving three cheers on the occasion. The Geyser is to be got ready immediately for sea, and her - guns are to be of the largest calibre. The utmost activity at present prevails in the dock-yard and vicinity, in consequence of orders having been issued by the Lords of the Admiralty to build four more steam ves sels of war, of a similar size and description to the Geyser. HONG-KONG.—We find evidence of this island possessing a good harbour and good water, in Captain Hall's " Voyage to Loo Choo" :—" It was indispensably necessary, hoeever, before steering to the northward into seas so little known, to complete our stock of water ; and we made sail accordingly for the island of Hong-kong, one of the great cluster called the Ladrones. Here we found a noble ca , eade ; and the night being perfectly calm, with a sea ES smooth as a mill-pond, in consequence of the anchorage being land-locked on every side by lofty islands, we filled our water-casks easily, and towed them on board c e tbe fi c t a en l or o t n wi y twenty at a time—an expeditious method but inrafts pra when the distance happens to be small, and the sea unruffled, It was almost dark when we anchored ; hut the moon, which was nearly at the full, rose shortly afterwards above the bills. The islands in this quarter lay so close to one another, that even in the daystime it. was difficult to discover any outlet; but at night, the mountains appeared to form a continuous bar rier. The nature of the ground also being black and un broken, it seemed as if the ships had been transported by some magical process toHtihgecaenndtrgeleonf. a s so oo li n tar a y fte l r ak w e e . lying in the bosom of a hl had taken up our station near the witerfall,but w bef h o e r n e this curious basin was light ed by the moon, and the most perfect silence prevailed over the whole scene, a fleet of several hundreds of Chinese fishing-boats suddenly advanced, in large groups of 40 or 50 each, from behind the islands. They were rowed about with great celerity from the bow, with to place, and in each boat two or three men stood i n flaming torches in their hands, which they waved backwards and forwards, while others of the crew were employed in beating, in the most furious manner, several large gongs suspended to the masts. To give full force and finish to this extraordinary serenade, a chorus of yells and shouts was set up from all th e b oatmen, at the full stretch of their voices—an uproar which awakened the echoes of all the surrounding hills, and rendered the whole scene so truly diabolical, that the sailors, astonished and delighted at this sudden irruption, insisted upon• it that a legion of Chinese devils must surely have been let loose to frighten away the Ambassador. But this tumul tuous uproa r was evidently intended tp drive ing e centre of th e h ar b our i nto nets placed the fish and tro a m mu , th across the narrow channels, between the surroundin g islands."
