This is, from the force of early impres sions peculiar to these countries, and of comparatively re cent growth, the effect produced by a certain class of ro mance writers. These writers give an obliquity to the young mind which leads to destruction. • Scarcely has a young girl laid down her " Reading made Easy," than she be comes a subscriber to some trashy library, and the hours which, in the country, or in a land where education is unknown, they would employ in jumping about in the open air, are now consumed with intensity of thought upon the maudlin miseries of some hapless heroine of romance, the abortion of a diseased brain. Her " imitativeness," as Spurzheim would phreno logically observe, becomes developed, and she fixes on her favourite heroine, whom she apes in every thing—sighing for her sorrow and moaning to be as miserable. She fixes imme diately upon some figure of a man—some Edwin, or Edgar, or Ethelbert,—which she thinks will harmonize with the horrors of the picture, and she then enjoys her tears and her tortures to her heart's satisfaction. Languor, inaction, late hours, late rising, and incessant sighing derarore her digestion—paleness, loss of appetite, and general debility follow—the cause continues, the effects increase, and hectic fever puts an end to the romance. We have known a young Irish lady who read herself into this situation.— She was, at the age of thirteen, as lively, as healthy, and as beautiful a little promise of womanhood as that country ever produced. When the Leadenhall-street troop of romancers crossed her way, an officer of a very different sort of troop be came her hero. She would " sit in her bower" (the second floor window), and gaze—and gaze—and gaze upon his steed, his helmet and its streaming black-haired crest, as he passed to mount guard, until she sobbed aloud in ecstacy of melan choly. She never spoke to this " knight," nor did she even seek to have an acquaintance—lest, perhaps, that a formal proposal, a good leg-of-mutton dinner, and all the realities of domestic happiness might dissipate the sweet romantic misery she so much delighted in. A year passed over—" she pined in thought, and with a green and yellow Melancholy," entered a convent (for that is the climax of romance), where she died in a few months !—( Medical Adr iser. AS. NGULAR CASE OF ASSAULT. MISS MARSHALL v. THE REV. MR. VIALL. BOW-STREET.--A ase of a very singular na ture was heard at this Office on Saturday before O. R. MIN SHULL, Esq. in the private room. It was a charge of assault preferred by Miss Marshall. daughter of the late Mr. Serjeant Marshall, against the Rev. Thus. Viall, cf Twickenham. The defendant, we understand, married one of the sisters of Miss Marshall, and the cause of misunderstanding has, we have been infbrmed, arisen out of some family disagreement. Miss Mar shall appeared before Sir Ricilmtp BSRNJE on Friday, and submitted to him a written information, complaining of the de fendant having met her while she was riding in her carriage near Teddington, he being on horseback, and having struck her with a whip or stick. Having repeatedly before had occasion to complain of the intemperate conduct of the worthy Divine, she now felt it her duty, from apprehensions of a More serious at tack, to take legal measures to prevent a repetition of such conduct. A warrant was granted accordingly, and entrusted to Perry and Baker, two of the 'patrole, to be executed. At an early hour on Saturday morning the officers proceeded to the residence of Mr. Viall, at Twickenham, and finding him at home, intimated the object of their visit. Mr. Viall was a good deal surprised at such a call ; but after some time agreed to accompany the officers to London. Pest horSes were then ordered to his own carriage, arc: the two officers and the Rev. COPIES OF INVOICES OF SALE TO MESSRS. MAR GRAVE, THROUGH J. B. SNOWDON (AGENT).

You were required to explain the cause, why in a part of the empire, which produces an abundance of all the necessaries of nfe, and which is capable of supplying a great superfluity of whatever is requisite for the support of a considerable addition to its present population, there was a want of employment and of food for millions of British subjects? And you were required to devise a remedy for these evils. You were, in fact, called upon to perform a task which, when executed, would not only relieve the star7i-Pg peasant of Ire land, but would exhibit to all the legislators in dip world the real cause of poverty, and the means by which it may be fe4 moved. It is, therefore, I consider, the appointment which you re , . ceived, as the most important that could be entrusted to any portion of society. ~~P EAST INDIA HOUSE, Feb. 11, ISI4 THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCII ANTS of ENG LAND TRADING to the EAST INDIES, tit) hereby give Notice, That, by a Deed dated this day, a FUND has been pro vided out of the Revenues of Tanjore, for LIQUIDATION of the.

Miss Marshall had previously arrived in her carriage from Tedding ton, where she resides, accompanied by a young lady. Mr. Viall's Solicitor having arrived, all the parties went into the private room, and Miss Marshall stated her charge. She . said, that as she was riding in her carriage near Teddington, on Thursday last, she was met by Mr. Viall on horseback. Her carriage window was open, and as he passed he struck in at the window with his whip, which alighted on her muff and made a considerable mark ; as he rode off he muttered some thing, but she did not hear what ; she added that she was a good deal alarmed, and from ether causes felt it necessary to take measures for the protection of her person from similar outrages. The Rev. Mr. Viall denied that he had any intention to Strike Miss Marshall ; and said that as he was passing the car riage, which was on the wrong side of the road, he merely struck out with his whip, to make his horse, which was a spirited animal, get out of the way. Miss Marshall, however, persisted in her charge of assault, and the Rev. Gentleman was finally ordered to enter into sure ties, himself in 1,0001. and rwo others in 5(10/. each, after which he was discharged. The Rev. Air. Viall, it will be recollected, is the Gentleman who some short time back prosecuted'his servant for stealing about four pennyworth of a cold rump of beef; which servant was acquitted, and afterwards brought an'action for a rnalkions preFecution against his Prosecutor, and recovered fifty pounds damages.—( ..11eritipg Paper. From the period of your first meeting, I daily witnessed the assiduous attentions of your Chairman, of many members of your Committee, and particularly of one, of whose services the country has been for ever deprived.* • In your minutes of evidence, you have collected information of great value, and it is much to be wished that it should be well c . onsidered by both Houses of Parliament and by th e 90 7 6 public From that evidence, no doubt can remain on the mind of any one who peruses it. Ist, That the mass of the population of Ireland is in a state of ignorance, poverty, and wretchedness. 2dly, That the circumstances in which they are, and have been for a long period past, necessarily produce the ignorance ; poverty, and wretchedness in which they are now involved. 3dly, That the poor peasant has not the knowledge or the means to enable him to change the unfavourable circum• 4thly, That the knowledge and the means necessary to enable him to improve his condition must be supplied to him, either by individuals, by associations of individuals, or by the Government. stlily, That these means must include education, employ. , ment, and an advantageous distribution of the wealth produced by his industry. And lastly, That this first step t o improveme n t must be to find full an beneficial employment for all the peasantry. These are the valuable results which you have obtained for the consideration of Parliament and of the public. You have also hastily glanced at some proposed measures both for a temporary and permanent relief. It is evident, however, that you had not time to enter upon this part of the subject in a manner satisfactory to yourselves ; for vou conclude the report which you presented to the House of Commons, on the last day of tile Session, by stating that " front the lateness of the period at which your Committee were appointed, they have not been able to investigate the sub ject as fully as . they could wish, but they trust they may be al lowed to resume their labours early in the next Session. They cannot however conclude without again expressing their opi nion that the employment of the people of Ireland, and the im provement of their moral condition, are essentially necessary to to the peace and tranquillity of that Island, as well as to the general interests of the united Kingdom." To the necessity for your re-appointment immediately on the opening of the approaching Session, every one who is in , terested in the amelioration of the condition of the Irish peasant, and of the general improvement of Ireland, will cordi;.lll subscribe. In the report which you were thus obliged hastily to pre , sent to the House, you have done me the honour to advert to the plan which I recommended to you: attention for the permanent education and employment of the poor of Ireland. You object to the principle of this plan, and approve of the essential part of its practice. It appears, however, from the Re port, that you had not time, with such a multiplicity of objects before you, to acquire a reafknowledge of its principles or prac tices. You supposed that it was founded on a principle that a state of perfect equality can be produced, and lead to beneficial consequences. I have frequently stated my conviction, that no two indi viduals can ever be formed alike, and that, therefore, ahsolitte and perfect equality among mankind can never be obtained; but an equality of wealth among the working classes may be easily produced, and will lead to the most beneficial 'consequeti ces,_ both for themselves and every other p a rt o f soc i ety. This is the equality in principle which I recommended as the shortest and most economical, and best mode of efictUally and permanently improving the condition of the peasantry of Ireland. You express your approbation of such part of the practical details, as from your situations in life you could, prev i o us to experience, understand. You say: "An economical ekPetidg ture of food and fuel ; the introduction of scientifre• ments applicable to the interior of habitations ; regular emPl4- ment, and good education, are all important ;" but you add, " they must be carefully separated from the doctrine of Mes munity of Goods and Equality of Profits." The peculiar education which you have received, enabled you at once to decide that " an economical expenditure of food and fuel, the introduction of scientific Improvements, 'of regular employment and, good education," were indeed " all important" for the working classes ; but your experience and practical knowledge were not sufficient to enable you to dis Cover, that that which you admit to be " all important" can never beob tained but by " a Community of Goods and an Equality of Profits" among the working classes ; while the exteosi-e prac tice in which I have been engaged t'or more than thirty years, has forced upon me the conviction, that the working cfaslies may be benefited to an incalculable extent by airangerricrits which shall enable them in practice to enjoy a Community of Goods and Equality of Profits, that all classes will be great gainers by this change ot' system, and - that no one will' suffer from its introduction. This part of the plan has been for years in extensive benefi cial practice in North America, and it is daily extending under circumstances greatly more unfavourable than those which I propose to arrange for Ireland. At this morrient the indivi duals, who are so arranged in various parts of North'AtricriCa as to experience the beneficial results of. a Community oftiatidi and an Equality of Profits, are in the actual enjoyment of ad= vantages, arising from these peculiarities in their circumstances, that the working classes never have obtained, ' for' ttieinsclves under the existing or any other system of inclividtial dpposition and competition. Vet the feelings of superstition and bigotry, with which a mistaken system of education has impressed these societies in America, prevent them from obtaining more than a very strial . l portion of the innumerable moral and pecuniary benefits, whiWa CommunitY of Goods and an Equality of Profits are cdniPe tent to afford, when they shall be established upon sokinciiirln ciples of political econorny, and' arranged so as to give to every member of the association all the adVantageS that modern. science can supply. to be continued. ) * By the death of 31r. Ricardo, Parliament has lost one of its most honourable and efficient members, and the country a representative full of industry and integrity, and it will be uif ficult, if not impossible, to find another individual equally com petent, in all respects, to fill his situation. The previous habits of his life had made him a theoreticrnonied,yather than &Imo tical man ; and rendered him incapable of estimating the value of measures tending to diminish Pie desire of aceurmilating nominal riches, and to raise the valite of real wealth, and I brrve thus lost the most powerful opponent of that part of the system which I advocate ; but I have also lost a friend whom I most highly esteemed.
