%malicious satisfaction what only become; impor tant in their eyes front the absurd vain glory which we have alluded to, namely, the contrast 'between our pretensions to universal influence, and the share of influence which we really pos sess. We shall be more thought of if we abate a little of our lofty pretensions ; and if the Duke . ref Wellingt on h ave b ut a mo d era t e portion of sense, he will not run a-muck against all , self-willed rulers and debased notions, merely to show th a t we h av e a fretful feverishness on the score of national dignity, and ti t we arc ashamed of being accused of sc denial. With respect to the East, we wilt own that we do not believe it is in the power of this country to prevent the destruction of Turkey. We can only make ourselves felt in Russia ehrough the medium of Austria, and they who k new by what a precarious tenure Austria holds ltelay and Galicia, and moreover that the most warlike part of the Continent is leagued with Nslussia, eve mean the North of Germany (for Prussia tray he said to determine all the country to the Rhine), will be slow to believe that Aus tria will think of such a Quixotic scheme as at ria-icing Russia, at the hazard of her own. safety, oo please us. Austria will share in the spoil. IVe can no more prevent this result, titan Russia could have prevented our conquest of the Mah ratta States, or our victories in the Burmese Empire. We might have succeeded in fright ening an irresolute Emperor of Russia, but w e , cannot prevent a resolute Emperor from effec tuating the design, haying once entered on it. It is no reproach to us that %cc cannot regulate every movement in every part of the road. While we arc of opinion that our Government ought to be exceedingly cautious - of embark- Mg the nation in war cm light grounds, and that nu policy is more reprehensible than that of wasting our resources merely to show that we ears make ourselves be felt, we think, at the Ante time, the Ministers would do well to put an end, as aeon as possible, to whatever may by possibility lead foreign Governments to mistake the cause of our forbearance. Ireland is thought not to be an addition to the strength of England, but a deduction from it. The Irish do not entertain the idea of separating them -elves from us, but they are determined to emancipate themselves, and that too in a more extensive sense than many may suppose ; and if tee do not form one people soon, the very force of circumstances will lead to meosures of force, of which it is not so easy to foresee the termiva tion. It is bad, it is petiful policy to l ea ve I re . Lend in a situation which may form a temptation ro foreign Governments to misconduct them selves in reliance on it. Say they are .wrong— ell)/ that Ireland would remain insensible to the truth of the maxim, that all that she has yet obtained has been extorted front our fears, and -would out avail herself of circumstances, still is good to remove the temptation.—/bid. Our readers would sec from the Mor4ing Herald of yesterday, in an article wilier the head ." Frankfort," that the Rothschilds, and some bankers from Vienna and Amsterdam, were to azsemble there shortly. The article rays, it is to be a " Congress of Financiers," and that some new "financial plan," on a. " grand scale," is to be proposed by Austria,l for the purpose of reducing her debt. The leug and the short of this article is that further loans, to the amount of as many millions as pos little, will he endeavoured to be effected, in order that the dividendsola!' be paid on Austrian, RUS-- lian, Neapolitan, and a variety of other ricketty Bonds. It is much if this Congress of Finao ciers does not, in the long run, prove to be a Congress of public pocket easers. Nosy, sup pose this Congress should prevail on the mo. ueyed dupes to lend 100,000,000/., the coon. mission, bonus, &c. to this Congress would not ;amount to less than 5 per cent. here would be a profit of 5,000,000/. to be divided among the Cougmess. The end of the Continental " finan cid systems" will be a blow up—such as we have experienced by the New Woild that Mr. into Can- ?ging said " be had called existence." And then, when the gulled find that they receive no dividends, and that what they have in possession are bits of paper merely, the gulled will probable say', what we have insinuated, th a t th e C ong ress ref - Financiers had better have been eallet by the Editor of the Frankfort paper a Congress of emptiers of the public pocket.

The Lord High Admiral has resigned-1 and the Cabinet of his Grace of Wellington is, i n other re,peets kept together by such Slender ties, that a total dissolution of it is confidently ex pected. The reasons which induced the Duke of Clarence to resign arc variously stated, but we believe they may all be summed' up in two words—diai4ust at the haughty d e meanour and napc,rions c o ndu c t of the Pr-2Tnicr, and the de waded situation to which his foreign policy Las edue-A this once fl o uri s hing and influential Country. With regard to the harmer, it is confi dently averred that his. Grace of Wellington having becom e j ea l ous o f t h e popu l ar i t y w hi c h t h e Duke of Clarence was • • acquiring in all guar- ters and xith all . classes, through his attention to the duties of his office, bad 'signified to the latter, some time ago,that hi s official visits to, and surveys of the different p or t s, must be discon tinued (assigning their exp ellee as the cause), —that high words arose on the subject between these Royal and Noble Personage, --and that no satisfactory understanding havin g been come to between them, the Duke of Clarence seized the opportunity of the recognition of the block- , ade of Madeira, to declare to his Grace that he I could not hold office under a Government wi l i c h appeared to have no fixed principle or policy— which puroued do consistent line of coiuluct— and by its measures relative to Oporto and Ma. deira, had done its best to establish the principle that the rule of 'succession to thrones was not legitimate right but established power. know not whether these arc, or are not, the real grounds of the resignation of the Lord High Admiral. They have been etate'd to us on no indifferent authority as - the -cause; but it is not improbable that other grounds may have existed, and we give them, therefore, as mere reports, and not as facts on which reliance should be placed. To us it has always been a matter of astonishment that the Lord High Admiral, who owed his ap pointment to tb e late Mr. Canning, could have pos sibly continued to act lo long under a Ministry which pursued a line of policy so wholly op posed to that by which the latter reieed his coun try into such importance among the states of Europe ; and it is in consequence rather matter of satisfaction than of regret to us, that he has separated himself from it. Others, 1% e have reason to believe, will soon follow the same ex ample. Mr. Peel h as b een men ti one d as ex tremely dissatisfied with the politics of the Ca binet of which he is a member, and as having threatened more th a n once to res i gn . The sup port which he gave to the Duke's government during the last Session of Parliament was cer tainly not such as to render it very desirable in future ; but after all—Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Charlee Grant having been thrust out by mis take —we know not how his Grace of W:elling ton, with all the talents, both civil and military, which he possesses, could get on without him. Even the blank-paper gentry would form but poor substitutes.—Morning Adverk:scr. It is understood in the best informed circles, that if his Royal Highness the Lord High Ad miral has not actually resigned, his resignation is a matter of certainty, and is hourly expected. What has led to this occurrence, we are averse from diseuesing: but this we may say, that cir cumstances which took place more than a month ago, and which brought his Royal Highness into collision with the head of the Government, rendered almost unavoidable the present swam- Lion. His Mejesty, we sincerely regret to say, 1 has been placed, by the differences which have arisen, arulthe imperious and ostentetious con duct of his Royal brother, in et situation of extreme delicacy. But, now that the matter has ended, as it was most desirable it should tenni , nate, we abstain from any further remarks. It is gratifying to know that the Duke of Welling ton has the unqualified confidence of his Ma jesty, and that he never stood higher in that con fidence than he does at present. Rumours also are in circulation of the contemplated resignation of Mr. Peel. That they arc premature we are aware ; but still, it must be admitted, it would be as well if the causes Nellich gave rise to such rumours did not eseist. It will ever be matter of regret, as welt by all neutral parties, as by the early ends most zealous supporters of the Right titneorsable Secretary, that he has so tenaeaous'l and inseparably bound himself up with the fate of the Currency Bill. It has been said by his friends that he has made the sine qui! non of his remaining in office the carrying of this measure. He has certainly identified his principles and his character with its success. He has dune more to enforce it than any other Mi nister. In short, he has so involved himself with it, that it is publicly designated as his mea sure exclueively. All this is matter of un iniogled regret. - That the country—we mean the esountry out of the immediate precincts of London—is complaining loudly of the effects of this unfortunate measure, is known to all. That the agricultural and commercial interests of the country look forward to April next with utter dismay, is equally well ascertained ; and that the Duke of Wellington is daily besieged. with re monstrances of the most urgent kind, is best known to himself. From every corner of the country—from noblemen of great influence— from conimoriers of great weight—from men whose Ca - tunes are at stake, and in whose hands is the bread of thousand:3, come memorials, pray , ing for relief and protection. On all sides the Duke of Wellington is assailed. Facts are poured into his ear which he never dreamt of; and-symptoms of increasing embarrassment, of pending ruin, of anticipated gloom and diffi culty, are pointed out, and appealed to in a tone which cannot be misunderstood. There is no nation in the world which possesses in itself so many sources of re-action, or so much internal power, which, if once exerted, can so effectually sway the policy of the Government. All these are verging to a focus—all arc bearing on the same object—all 'are concentrating to offer re sistance to the favourite project of Mr. Peel. The questien is not now a party one. The bankers are dissatisfied to a man ; they are still smarting under the aspersions heaped upon them by Lord Goderich. Through them the chan nels of commercial intercourse are impeded; and, consequently, men formerly of oppo site opinions, of many shades of difference on various leading measures, are united in not only dreading the panic which they anticipate, but hi condemning the policy which has led to it, and which they are assured will not be departed from. All ask with an impatience which evinces more sorrow than anger, will the Duke of Wellington, in the teeth of these remonstrances, enforce a measure to which he is not pledged, and to which he is not bound ? It would give us un feigned pleasure to be able to allay their fears in this respect ; but all we can say at present is, that our confidence in the Noble Duke remains unshaken, and that he will not allow the country to suffer either to gratify the feelings or the pre judices of any of his colleagues. Sure we arc he has the interest of his country at heart. He is one of her proudest and most incorruptible pa , triots, and he will shield her, when the day of trial comes, by his wisdom and his unbending integrity. In him, therefore, we would most ur gently, most imploringly, call upon the country trumpetho fleet l i r to repose confidence. He is too prudent to ifleeting is his sseraiments to the world ; he knows popularity ; h e . only waits his op portunity prov e that he is wedded to no ex periniental measures, but, on the contrary, pre pared t o b eha u s hour assertdomestic sprungm esotttilicire welfare.arstelneli.oitul ascendancy abroad and pro motel z o O re u s t i resignation ttilown of set trou bles Peel- We should be sorry to see him in retire ment ; but if the prosperity of Great Britain ehould demand it, to retirement he must go.— Nen' .71;nes.

SUMMER ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WELLS, .AUG. 12 Clark.; Bcxt was indicted for an a..sitult on Mary Harri, , , with intent forcibly to abuse her. There was' another count charging him with a common assault. Mary Harris, the prosecutrix, a good-looking young girl, lives at Deniton. On the evening of the 13th of July she wa4 returning home from ll minster, when sh^ met the prisoner with thr ee ot h er persons. The others went away, and prisoner asked witness if he should go home with her. She said " No, she did not want his company."—(The wit ness here described the nature of the violence offered to her by the prisoner, and stated that he repeated his assault several times.) —Witness struck him with the umbrella, and cried " Murder !" but he still per sisted in attacking her ; and she then told him she would follow him and have him taken into custody. He was apprehended on the some night about eleve n o'e lock. By the JUDGE—Lived with her parents at the time. She informed her parents of the assault. The prisoner cursed her when she said she would have him apprehended. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the com mon assault. Mr. Justice PARK told him that his conduct was most infamous, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for six calendar months, regretting at the same time that the law did not allow of his putting him to hard labour, inasmuch as he was only convicted of the common assault. Thomas Parr, a coarse-looking rustic, "as indict ed fors similar offence against Hannah Lever, a far mer's servant-maid. The prosecutrix lives at Dowlish, in this county. On the 4th of August, while returning home, she met the prisoner, who said " Where are you going?" She said " What adds is that to you ?" and he re plied "I'll go home with you." She told him he should 'mot, and then endeavoured to get away from him bat he pursued her, and made a violent attack ttputi her.--(The prosecutrix here described the particulars of the attack.) She at length succeeded in escaping from him, and he continued to pursue her to her master's house. The prisoner, in his defence, denied having used any violence towards the prosecuttix, and said he had offered her marriage. He also said that she had had an illegitimate child before, and was ready to consent to his wishes. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK then sentenced him to bi months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. The prosccutrix is an exceedingly plain-looking creature, with weak sere eyes, and a Chinese cha racter of countenance. Janics Whitc was put to the bar, charged on the Coroner's inquisition with having killed and slain Charles Soarry, on the 22d July last, at Bridge water, by furiously riding over hiin. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of man slaughter, through furious driving. Mr. Justice PARK said he should pass only a light sentence upon him, as it appeared that he had no intention to injure the eieceased, and was a mild, inoffensive young Man. The Court, therefore ordered that he should be imprisoned in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour, for one ca lendar month. GLOUCESTER, AL G. 13. Mr. Justice GAsEutt: and Mr. Baron VALGitAN opened the commission for this county here this afternoon. The calendar conteil,l3 the names of 38 prisoners, and some of their offences are, it is said, of an atro cious nature : 59 causes are entered for trixl. = MONMOUTH, Auo. 12. John. Farmer and Edward Thompson, alias Ed ward Hewitt, were this morning put to the bar, pur suant to the directions of the learned Judge. The prisoners had been removed to this place from Staf ford gaol by habeas corpus, to take their trial on an indictment for stealing three homes, some bridle, saddles, and other articles, from Cicely Watkins, of Lianhileth, in this county ; on being arraigned yes terday, they pleaded guilty, but his Lordship hu manely ordered that they should be allowed till this day to consider of their plea, which he cautioned them would not be the means of procuring any miti gation of punishment. The le.trned Judge having again warned them of the awful situation in which they were placed, and tne prisoners having persisted in their plea, sentence of death was pro nounced against them. WARWICK, WEDNESDAY, Arc. IS. Isaac Parkes was indicted for forging the Gold smiths'-hall plate stamp, upon several pair of spec tacles, made of base metal, and selling them as plate. In consideration of the prisoner's pleading " guilty" to the minor offence, of only forging the Birmingham plate stamp, there was no evidence offered against him, on the part of the Stamp-office, on the capital charge. Jo/in Hunts, a respectable looking young man, 22 years of age, was indicted for stealing from the Post-office, at Birmingham, a certain letter, contain ing a 30/. Bank -note, a 31. Bank -note, and divers promissory notes and bills of exchange, the property of George Sheppard and others, his partners. The prisoner pleaded Guilty to the minor cha►;ge of embezzling the property of Messrs. Sheppard and Co., and no evidence MIS offered against him on the capital charge. He was sentenced to be transported for seven yea rs. Sarah Gibbs was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The defendant, who was not the most captivating in her appearance, becoming the mother of an illegi timate child, the parish officers where she resided threatened to remove her to her own parish, and she threatened to swear her child to the first man who should attempt to do so. Both parties were as good as their word. Mr. Gude, a parish officer, obtained an order for her removal, and she went before a magistrate and swore the child to Mr. Gude. Mr. Gude most solemnly swore that he had nei ther hand, act; or part, in the getting of this child ; while the defendant as strenuously persisted in fixing the paternity on him, and expressed her astonish men;. at the very ungrateful return he made her for ' the many favours she had conferred upon him, in the course of his frequent visits to her house, where she lived alone am! independent. She was found Guilty, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisombent. Isaac Green, aged 35, a married man, and the father of five children, was indicted for a most ag gravated assault, with intent to commit a capital fe lony upon Sarah Elizabeth Clarke, at Birmingham, on the 29th ofJuly last. Mr. READER, on the part of the prosecution, briefly opened the case to the Jury, and then called the following witnesses:— Sarah Elizabeth Clarke, an extremely delicate girl, in appearance about 16 or 17 years of age, was assisted into the witness-box, where, however, it was evident, from her state of nervous agitation and debility, she could not continue many moments. She was therefore placed in the crier's seat, and, with the most unaffected modesty, and obviously painful feelings, related the following circumstances : —She is now 13 years of age; her father keeps the Wheat Sheaf public-house at Birmingham. On Sunday the 27th of July her father and mother went . from home on a visit to some friends for a few days, leaving her in charge of the house, and re questing the prisoner, who had been known to them for several years, to assist in attending to the busi ness. On Monday evening, the 28th, there was. a meeting at the house of the members of two clubs or• benefit societies, and at about seven o'clock, when the witness was in the bar, the prisoner came to her and asked her for Bs. to pay to a sick member. She at first hesitated to pay the money until her father returned, but, upon the prisoner saying that he • ' would see that all was right, she went up stairs to her father's bed-room to procure it. For that pur pose she took a drawer, containing the club money, from under a chest of drawers, and laid it on the dressing-table, while she went to fasten the window, as it was growing late. She was in the act of pulling down the blind when the prisoner came into the room. He immediately shut the door, which closed with a spring-lock. The witness went On to de scribe a very gross and violent attack committed on her by the prisoner. She made every possible effort to scream for assistance, but could not make her self heard, in consequence of the manner in which he stopped her mouth. At last she fainted. When she recovered her senses, she found herself lying on the floor, with her pers on exposed. She got up and went down stairs, and met the prisoner on the . last step. He accosted her, saying, " Sarah, give me a kiss. You must not tell." She passed on, and the house being full of company, she 'vent out at the back door and through the yard into Mrs. Stringer's house, which is next door. Here she was only able to utter, " Oh, Mrs. !Stringer, a mare—Mr. Green," when she again fainted. Mrs. Stringer sent out for Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Clarke's servant, and as soon as the witness came to her self, she stated how she had been ill used by the prisoner. She felt very ill next day, and had been extremely unwell ever since. (Indeed this was but too apparent.) On her cross-examination by Mr. Gout...Bens, she said, that to go from the bed-room to the room where the members of the club were assembled, you had to descend two steps, and then go along a passage. She could not say how many yards long the passage was. The tap-room was full of people. She made all the efforts in her power to call out, but the prisoner prevented her. She was in the act of pulling down the blind before she saw the pri soner coming. She was out next day, because she was obliged to go and pay the excise before twelve o'clock ; but she was extremely ill. The prisoner was to have paid it, but he did not come near the house. (The witness was carried out of Court in strong convulsions.) Mrs. Stringer and Mrs. Rogers corroborated the proseeutrix's statement.. Mr. Evans is a surgeon at Birmingham, and was called in on the 30th of July to visit Miss Clarke. Upon examining her person, he discovered marks of violence. He has continued to attend her ever since. Her health has been materially injured, and she has been subject to hysterical fits ever since. Mr. GOULBURN addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, admitting . that he had been guilty of gross misconduct, and must be convicted on the count for the common assault; but contending that it was impossible he could have intended to commit the aggravated offence imputed to him. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, said, it would be an outrage upon common sense to suppose that in making this assault upon the prosecutrix in the manes e described, the prisoner did not intend to commit the higher offence. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned fo two years, and kept to hard labour; telling him at the same time, that he ought to con sider him elf most fortunate in having escaped with his life. IRISH ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CLONMELL ASSIZES, AUG. 1 i. John Desmond was indicted for stealing a pig, the property of Thomas Byrne. Thomas Byrne, examined by the Court—Your Honour's Lordship, the pig was my own property, and John Desmond was in my own place, and he stole it, for I heard it from the neighbours. That was the 18th day of the month of May, and a Sun day too, your Honour's Lordship. COURT—W e don't want to hear stories in this place ; when had you the pig ?—The same morning, your Honour's Lordship, he stole it, and there - is John Desmond that was in the house that day, your Honour's Lordship. COURT—Did you see him in the public-house ? No, but the neighbours did ; and there is John Davis that had it in his pussesshun. I lost the pig on the Sunday, the 18th day of the month of May, above all the days in the year. COURT—When did you see it next ?—John Il2s rm,rvi, your Honour's Lordship ?

Cross-examined by Mr, Bennet—How old was the pig ?—ls it my own pig ? liow did you know the pig, Tom ?—Arral didn't I know it to be my own ? Did the pig know you ?—No. Did he run up to you when he saw you ?—Not he, the crater. Was it by the suggoane you knew it ?—Would I know the pig that I reared I sure it had the sug goaue (straw) about the leg; and I'd know my own pig; for, plase your Honour, the cratur was born'd in my own house. Had the pig a long tail ?—He had no tail at all, the cratur, for I tuck the bit of the tail off my own I pig. Wasn't it a fresh cut ?—lt was a fresh cut the day I bought him; sure I cut the bit fresh; be gannics, it was fresh cut, sure enough, your Honour's Lordship.—(Laughter.) Mr. Justice Moong summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner " Guilty." Our early risers were amused on Monday morning in witnessing a man comfortably tied in a sack, jumping round the Race Course (a mile and twenty rods) which he engagul to do for a trifling wager in thirty-five minutes. Although much rain had fallen during the night which made the ground very slippery, he complead the undertaking within two minutes of the given time, to the great astonishment of the spectators. INSTRUMENTAL IVILSH.3.—At, a Court for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, held at Carlisle, before Mr. Chief Commissioner REYNOLDS, on Wednesday week, GEORGE FREDERICK PARRIN, teacher of music, kc., came up to take the benefit of the Act.

On Sunday ,se'nnight JOHN . PoLLocK, weaver, Charleston, left his own house about eight o'clock. On the previous part of the day he had taken a walk with his wife, and when they had gone as far as the little plant ing at Gleniffer, he wished her to return, saying that he would now get to his rest here, and at the same time told her not to grieve for him. With much ado she succeeded i n persuading him to return home. When in the house, he exhibited every sign of a person whose mind was far estranged. At times he would be grasping at something which be stedfastly looked at before kim; other times going up and down the house, wringing his hands in de spair, crying " Oh ! there is no hope for me!" His wife watched him; but from her situation being obliged to rest herself in bed, he took that opportunity of slipping out of the house, and went to the very spot above-mentioned,,and there put a period to his existence. Not returning that n ight, his wife male it known next morning, when search was made for him. He was found by some persons about mid-day, suspended from the branch of a tree. He had taken his neckcloth, and fastening it about his neck, went u p into the tree and tied it, and then threw himself off. He has left two young children and a wife fur gone in pregnancy, to mourn his loss. He had been afflicted with fits of deep melancholy, and had several times attempted to take away his life.— Greenock Advertiser.

All will admit— that is, all who are net quite of the school of the Colonel—that these " battalions" are either wholly useless or ill-distributed. They consist altogether of 19,853 mcn, and of these 13,440, or more than two-thirds, are assigned to Ulster. There is scarcely a county of the North that has not more b a tt a li on i tes than all Munster or Connaught. In Tyrone there are 2051, and in Fermanagh 2089, whereas in all Munster there are only 1.507, and in all Con naught only 1393. We shall slim the reader the distribution of these corps throughout the kingdom generally : L,rr THE LEG COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Lcgs was convened on. Tue iday evening, in the Green Roam, for the purpose of tak ing into consideration certain articles, but par ticu lady one which appeared in the 3iorning Chro ;side of Monday, reflecting on the legs of actresses. Ma dame Vestris in the. Chair. The Chairwoman addressed the meeting in . the following terms :—Ladiss Mixtrcsaes, and M es rs— We Are this day assembled to vindicate our rig kt to such use of our own property as we think fit, , and to mark by some signal measure our disapprob. Won of a very improper freedom taken with our leg 0. — (Hear.)—l may here remark by the way, that It is singularly incensistent in the critic to make so free with our property, while he denies U.l, the owner. 6, the same liberty.—(blear, hear, and applause.)— :This gentleman, though I can't say much in face CI of his gentleness, has however let out the secret c if his vehement attack, when he says " there never • was a time when good legs among actresses were s( ) rife, and among actors so rare." - Envy, you see, ,is at the bottom of all this; and while men borrce w our petticoats as it were, by wearing large trows( nrs to hide their bad legs, they cannot patiently ' en dure our display of good ones by the t 'scans which were once thought proper to th (blear, hear, hear)—What he means by " Miss Bartoloezi wants calf," it is difficult to tinders rand; unless he would insinuate that she wants,a hu eband —that, it is true, would be one way of sup; plying the defect. (A laugh.) It is fatal to a good , critic to wander from his subject, and having taken Legs for his theme, it was most improper and it jud acious of him to speak of " the admitted beauty r of the young lady's (Miss B.'s) proportions al rovre the knee." In all trades, and criticism I toke to be one, though none of the best, the man wh o gets above his business is sure to be ruined. •1 le i , t so— and, as Sterne says, " Shame and sorrot v go with him." Although it may be thought that I justice is done to me, I should blush for my vanitv:, if it re conciled me to any aspersion on the qualia es Of the members of any other of our corps. No, we must make common cause, for no limb can suffer without affecting the whole body. We can be on DO footing with this man, except ono which I shall urestently mention—and must now and at once:a-pike .ur :stanch against him, or if we allow our legs to bo s(!t at t nought, ll,i tt hasvt • been said and sung e shall soon be told that o our a about the r :. sare not all that I propose then to submit to the Committee of Legs, for their approbation, is, that Mrs. Faucit, or any other full-sized lady, that does not stand upon i'rVes, be deputed to wait on this gentleman, and give I tim a good kicking. (Hear, hear ! and loud applouse.) I imovv no better mode of making him intinuatitly acsjuainted with the subject of his criticism, or more likely to inspire him with a feeling respect for our understandings. Such Legs as are inclined to lead ulatir support to this proposition will step forword. Here twelve Ladies rose at the same time, and br an agreeable chorus rendered it utterly impossible to consprehend a single sentence. Order was cuilled, but called in vain. The Chair-woman findi»g it I price • impracticable to obtain a hearing by level spa icing, began to sing a portion of Jemmy Jampe's song in The Farmer— " Short kg Ladies, long leg Ladies, Thick leg Ladies, thin leg Ladies, All leg Ladies, be quiet"—which created a momentary suspense, during which the question was put and unanimously agreed to by a simultaneous stamping of feet— tongu es, as less concerned, would not have been half so satisfactory. The Committee of Legs then stood up, and walk ed off.•—Morning Chronicle. The influx of Irish labourers continues greater than evor. Yesterday morning not less than 600 Irish shearers iaassed through this city to the eastward on their way to the harvest. This morning about 530 passengers were laruled at the Broomielaw from one of the Belfast steamers. When they left I3elfast, almost the whole of therm had i'arge sticks, weapons which it was found neces sary to deprive them of on the passage, as they at one time began to discover a strong desire of using them in a fight which soma of the more unruly threatned to commence. On arriving at the Broontielaw they demanded their shil lelahe, were restored to them ; but it turned out that a numhor had not received the identical clubs with which they lert Belfast, and they would take ix) others.
