DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 21. Among the happy symptoms of the decay of strong party feelings in Ireland is, the fact that Colonel Blacker, the Deputy Vice-Treasurer, has re,qc to the Grand Orange Lodge his resignation, its 'Deputy Grand Master of that Association. It ib ',understood that Colonel Blacker had deter mined upon this step some time since, and was induced to hold his Orange dignity Only in the hope of moderating the temper and spirit of that illegal faction. Finding, we believe, that the countenance and approbation he was supposed to give to their proceedings by his continuing to Wear the insignia of office amongst them, far overbalanced any benefit he could effect by his temperate suggestions to his associates, be at length resolved publicly to withdraw from them. We concratulate the people of Ireland on this eveat, because it is another proof of the disposi. non of his Majesty's Government not to suffer the spirit of party to sway their Councils, or per 'rade their functionaries. Colonel [Hacker does himself honour by his wise and manly secession from a body, with which, we dare say, he now regrets he ever had the misfortune to mix him self up.--( Ibid.) [Tuc TIMES.] A mail from Brazil arrived yesterday, with letters from Rio tie Janeiro of the 18th June, and front Pernambuco of the Bth ult. The ad vices from toe capital add nothing of importance to ' what was previously known. At Pernam buco the, order of the Emperor for raising the blockade arrived on the 29th June, and the squa dron set sail, as instructed, without delay for Rio de Janeiro. This event was highly gratify ing to the republican party at that place, who Were thus left, unawed by the presence of the ships of war, to pursue their former machinations. The end to which they were directed was soon Ma& evident, by a Decree put forth by Carvelho, the Governor, and head of that party, in which he promulgated the form of a Supreme Govern. meat for the northern provinces of Brazil, to which he invites them to accede. lie had atiSO . announced hostilities agabiat Paraiba and Alagoes, and ordered two vessels to be prepared for the blockade of those places.--- Finally, he had declared his intention, when iris►: plans were completed, to abolish the trad„ i n s l aves . We have no materials for form. an opinion respecting the means possessed by Carvallto for supporting by his acts the high tone assumed in his public declarations. it appe,irs probable, however, that he would haven contest to sustain for the ascendancy in Pernambuco before he could proceed to develop his ul terior plans with regard to the other provinces to the northward. tt ,has already been mentioned, that some dis semilons prevailed at Maranhao) in the beginning of July.. We have seen letters from that place 4;ote go,, of jtily, by which it appears, that on the 3d the governing Junta notified to the British Consul, MrAfesketh, that a body of troops was eitihineing against the city for the avowed pm- 7 pass of changing the form of the Government.— At the same time Mr. Hesketh had received in dtrectly assurances from the leaders of the hostile' party, that the persons and property of British ' subjects should be strictly respected, which as. , sureness were officially confirmed on the sth by documents signed by the leaders, or as they Ntile themselves,'" The Junta of the Expedi. tionery Commission." On receiving the first in timetion from . the , Covernme'nt, Mr. Ilesketh ad. dresed a . circular to the English merchants at Mar inhdm, lee ving It to them to consider whether steps should be taken to convene a meeting, hut we do not find it stated 'that any meeting did take ft Is therefore probable that the as.

We con fess his beloved Majesty appeared to us - to have deprived himself of all terrors in , ti pt respect.— In the first place, he is in this agreeable dilemma —the larger the sum he now requires the worse terms he must subscribe to, both on the score of interest for the money advanced, and also as to the amount of composition for the Loans of the Cortes which he must acknowledge. In the next place, the demands upon the Spanish Treasury are so numerous and heavy that a considerable sum would not satisfy them alone—to say nothing of a surplus sufficient to carry on, or rather recommence with any prospect of its success ful continuance, the coldest with Peru and Mexico--the only parts of South America where the cause of independence is at all questionable. The cost of restoring the present state of anarchical despotism in Spain must like wise be paid to France, or even the ties of love, legitimacy, and blood between Louis XVIII. and his cousin of embroidered memory, will dis solve into thin air. Next, the demands of all the needy sycophants about the Court of Madrid, who can now neither find a farthing in the Spa nish Exchequer, nor extract one from the Spanish people—they must be paid and pacified—they cannot starve, and to beg (except at Court) they are ashamed. After these claims are silenced, and a share of the capital reserved to discharge one or two half year's dividends on the New Loan, with a portion, perhaps, of similar out standing charges on the old ones, what, we won der, will remain to re-conquer his Majesty's " Indies ?" Nothing, in our opinion, of a very formidable amount. Let the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, therefore, and the King of the Two Worlds, fight out their battle the best way they can ; for we venture to predict the worst result to this country will be the circulation of hatever pledges Ferdinand may think proper to issue for the future payment, or rather the future dis„ Iwol of his just debts. [NEW TIMES.] Yesterday a general depression took place in the Funded Securities, and a variety of reports were in circulation ; the decline in the British Funds, however, was but of a temporary dura tion. Consols fell from 93 to 93L ; btu in the afternoon recovered their former price. A gene ral revolt in the South of Spain was spoken of, and the consequent retiring of the French forces was of course inferred ; but there did n ot u p. pear any • authentic intelligence to that effect.— In Foreign Securities a more extensive alteration took place; South American Securitiei Were the most affected. Reports were in existence of the arrival of Iturbide, and that the whole coast of Mexico had risen in his favour ; but we be lieve that no accounts of his arrival, although expected daily, have yet been received. Colom hien Scrip at one hour was at 8 dis.; Mexican Bonds 50 ; the former recovered to 5f dis count. The New Brazilian Scrip was at 11 per Cent. discount.; and that of Buenos Ayres at about th e same. Peruvia n S cr i p 25 per Cent. discount. The reports respecting Spanish Bonds continue ; and it appears to be now gene rally -believed that a negotiation is going on, which may operate in some degree on their value. It was confidently rumoured that the Brazilian and Portuguese Cornmissioners ap pointed to conclude a treaty between the two countries held their final deliberation in Down. ing-street some few days ago, at which Mr. Canning and Prince Esterhazy attended. The terms it is said received the approbation of those distinguished Diplomatists, and were in conse pence forwarded to Lisbon for his Most Faith fill Majesty's consideration. We give this bow, ever as mere report. [MORNING If MAIM.] t would be curious if, after all, Ferdinand should sueteed . in raising a loan here. We ques tion whether the security he might offer would net be considered by our monoy gulls as . good as the security given by his colonies. If Ferdinand were to acknowledge in part the loan which has been called the Constitutional Loan, and were to At. nut more than a million in the first instance from England, and propOsed as security a certain portion ,of the Church ftevenues,or Estates, which the Cortes confiscated, or were about to, coatis sate ; and if, a t th e sa m e time, he sere to give it out, that his A.Mba.ssadiir had instructions to negotiate a commercial Treaty with 'F,tigland, that, should be particularly advantageous to her; his Ambassador, or his agent, would easily coax from John Bull's pocket a lOan at a million,.or, indeed, two•or three. Then after Ferdinand had got hold of 'our manufacturers and M erc h ants , b y means of his Commercial Treaty, and of our money-grubs, by a beneficial loan, on appar en tly , fair at''cuiiiy'; and hod ithilattheed,tp Mr. Cann ing that he had entered into a contract with his Must Christian Majesty, that the latter'S called the Evolutlon Squadron,, was - to convey 'filpinithiroops and ttiglish Money to South Ane rica; f4r the purpose of bringing to a tine . sense of their ditty his rebellious subjects iii these orts— : Own, we repeat, ti n party at the 'FOreign Stock Exchange, who might he the holders of the contemplat4 new §'crip, t t ons up , their liata for joy at ,tliO, proopect ot.l er . dioaud . u. so . c c ,,, s „ Some may doubt this-=hut we; can as sure them that such would he the fatt,.`and - mo v e especially were such . all allilo4llCPUleq4 to et , op the price of Spanish Stock,. 4, 4 ,4 said, bat we knoWr:ot with what truth, that some persoli*, who not long 6iriCe Were putting forth in certain newspapers lout accounts or the wealth and the ' resources ,of Colombial Mexico, and Peru, ,and what not (but which writers of Constitutional ef-i fusions then held Colombian, Peruvian, and Mexican Bunds), hwee sold these securities, and !eked the proceeds u Spanish Constitutional Bonds at a low price ; and that this change from( one security to another may account for the ex-I traordinary twist which has within this day o 0 two been given to their literary lucubrations. EMORNII4O CHRONICLE. j The following paragraph appeared in The County Uhronick " As a great . :uninher of.lrish labourers were last week wait ing for employment in the fast.coming harvest, about forty of theca were employed in tie interim by the surveyors of the highways of the parishes of Orston and Thoroton, near Bing ham, Lincolnshire, in breaking and spreading of stones on the roads; the labourers of these villages, not approving of this beneficent act of the, parish Surveyors, arose in a body on Sa turday, and drove the.poor Hibernian completely out of their precincts; and in the'hight betwixt Saturday and Sunday, Mr. Wm, Maltby and Mr. Joseph Moggs, the gentlemen who had compassionately set them to wo r k, h a d t h e throats of two valu able sheep cut, by malicious i ncen di ar i es. A handsome re ward 1a of f ered for the discovery of the perpetrators of this dia. bolical act." We pity the conditio►► of these unfortunate Irish labourers, but no one who considers the situation of the agricultural labourers of this country, from the excess of their numbers beyond the em ployment from them, can be astonished that they should resent the introduction of strangers to add to their misery. The hay time and harvest used formerly to be looked forward to by the labourer, as a period during which he might gain enough to enable him to set apart something for the time when work is slack ; but the farmer can now have strangers in any nu►nber, so that the resident poor derive no benefit from these seasons. It is use less to circulate Reports of Committees of the house of Commons, recommending a return to provident habits, and dwelling on the importance of the labourer seeing the connection between the demand for labour and the supply, if the power of giving effect to these views is to be denied him, by emigration from another country. It is the interest of the labourer that the market should not be over stocked ; but the farmer deems it his interest to encourage strangers, with a view to keep down wages. The law favoursthe farmer,and the labourer being unable to reconcile the law with his ideas of justice, becomes an enemy to the former, and has recourse to acts of violence. It seldom hap pens that a new Doctor takes up his residence in a country town with impunity. The Lawyers send a brother to Coventry who leaves one Circuit for another. Even the unowned dogs in a Turkish town, who generally have to complain of a scarcity of bones, have their proper streets, and an intruder always pays for his temerity. Nothing, therefore, is more natural than thnt the labourer should view with jealousy the introduction of strangers to share with him a fund which is too small for himself. Let it be remembered, that the employment of strangers, under such circumstances, though not prohibited by law, is, in reality, committing a robbery on him. The labour of the poor man is his pro perty ; and those who disregard that pro perty, can hardly be astoni,hed that theirs should be disregarded. No experiment can he more dangerous than that of placing men in circumstances which tempt them to violate the law. We are informed on good authority, that the Keeper of a Gaol, of a County in which there were several arsons some time ag • CI, i n every one of the numerous commitments which were the consequenc e , traced the crime to some act of oppression on the part of the individual who had suffered in his property. The bow ought never to be bent too much, lest the string give way. •• I ICELAND. TIPPERARY ASSIZES.—CLONMELL, Auo. 14. Befre Me Hon. Justice JOHNSON. TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF A POLICEMAN FOR MtiRDKIt. David Talbot, a police constable, was indicted for the murder ' of Matthew Houlihan, at Mortlestown, last April. It appeared in evidence that the deceased was to have prose. cuted persons at the last Spring Assires for the burning of Sheahan's house, at St. Johnstown, near Killenaule ; he, how ever, did not conic forward on that occasion, on which the men were discharged. Some time after, from the doubtful cha racter of Houlihan, the police of that neighbourhood had re ceived orders to visit his house frequently, in order, if found absent, to have him prosecuted under the Insurrection Act.-- On the night o f t h e 3d o f A pr i l, a party of the police, consist ing of the p r i soner, hi s father, William Talbot, an d another policeman, named Chislam, came to Ilculiban's house. Wm. Talbot called out to Chislam, " Come In, Chlslarn, there is somebody here drawing his breath, and stab him with the bayonet I" While they were demanding* candle to be lighted, the deceased, when he heard the words " stab him" used, en deavoured to escape t h roug h t h e door et which young Talbot was stationed ; old Talbot who was inside, on perceiving him, called :to his son to atop him t but as deceased had got some distance outside the house, the prisoner David Talbot fired, and inunediately exclaimed, " wh oever he is, I have done his business." The prisoner, received an excellent character for previous good conduct,from Gentlemen of high respectability. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the Jury .retired 'for'about half an hour, when they returned a verdict of Gatilty,•but recommended him to m ercy . Hhi ,LdansuiP addressed the prisoner in the-most feeling 'manner, in the course of which he was pareatly affected. He then pronounced the awl tence' of the biw, and ordered him to be hanged on T ue sd ay, and his body to he given for dissection. The Grand Jury recommended the prisoner to the clemency of the Court.. Hie UntßitifP Aimed tan days' respite, until the opinion of Government be received. The unfortunate young man (who is about 21) was quite collected during the trial, and while receiving sentence.

LITERARY NOTICE. rimoNlATinc nisTrronoN—muntox Cittscerero This is the lige in England for the diffusion of useful knowledge. — yintellectual.pleasures are every day rising in importance : the circle of information is expanding. Knowledge, like sugar or cottons, has long ceased to be a luxury, and is fast becoming a necessary of life, not only for the middling classes, but for artizans and agriculturists. Witness the immense and every day increasing circulation of weekly publications on almost every branch of literature and science, in forms so cheap and attractive as to suit equally the taste and pecuniary means o f a ll. Witness the number of monthly and quarterly publications constantly increasing and vying with each other in honourable efforts to diffuse a taste for intellectual pleasures, and a knowledge of things useful in the moral and physical sciences. As the mind cannot feed upon itself, but must find occupation of some sort, in proportion as the gentler, cheaper, and more permanent pleasures of intellect and sympathy are cultivated, the de mend for the pernicious pleasures of cruelty, drunkenness, and debauchery cease. No insti tutions tend more to produce this salutary effect than literary and scientific Institutions. Some of these, as the London Metropolitan and the Phi lomathic Institution, are extending their sphere of usefulness by the publication of Journals. With the ability and philosophic spirit of benevolence with which the Metropolitan Journal is con ducted, the public have been for many months acquainted. The first number, or part, of the " Philomathic Journal and Literary Review," has engaged our attention from the great portion of original compositions, contributed by the mem bers of the society, besides the Reviews of the works of others us they issue from the press.— There is not room here to inquire whether lite rary Authors are the best critics, even putting aside the chances of rivalships. If it be an ob jection, almost all the Reviews must plead guilty to it. In the Philornathic Journal, now first published, and to be continued, we understand, every three months, there are 150 pages of original matter, in prose and poetry, on subjects of general interest, and executed in such a stile 'as to do honour to the gentlemen who compose the society : if they continue as they have be gun, they will deserve well of the public, event though they ceased to be reviewers. The first prose article gives an account of the Philomathic Institution, and other similar establishments, and occupies ten pages ; the next is on the English Language; then a Phrenological View of the Mutual Influence of the Faculties; then, on the Principles of Life, occupying 16 pages ; then, on Manners ; then, on Human Life, as exhibited in Newspapers; then, on Imagination and Judg ment, followed by 8 pages on Works of Fic tion ; and, lastly, on the Influence upon the Happiness of the Progress and Mutations of Arts and Sciences. Besides writing, this Society is in the habit of dics•assing, every Tuesday evening for about two hours, literary and moral subjects. Of the ar guments, used in five of these discussions, a pleas. ing and useful summary is given. The first dis cussion is 66 Was Pope a Poet of the tirst order ?" The second discussion is on " The probable per manency of Modern Civilization." The third enquires whether " The moral improvement of mankind has kept pace with their intellectual advancement ?" The fourth is on the Usury Laws ; and the fifth asks 46 If the discovery of America has been beneficial to Europe." In the line of poetry, there are no less than three original compositions, occupying 26 pages of the Journal, the first being an 64 Ode to goilve el heview Of Science," the second," Astrea," a poem, a n d t h e third the "'Pleasures of p over ty," a poem. T he second is to be coutinu e d, th e fi rst canto only being Department, occupying about 100 pages, we shall say nothing more than that the Works, Prose, and Poetry are fairly select ed, and the same cultivated spirit pervades it, that renders so attractive the original part of the Journal. A reviewer of reviewers must be of the very last stage of insipidity. Amongst the original articles, that on the " Principles of Life" fixed our attention, from the calm firmness with which a delicate subject is investigated. The author conceives that he has proved that there is a material principle of life distinct from the structure of the body or the fluids which impel or act upon it, a principle sui genera, having affinities like other substances, modifying the different tissues of the structure.— The electric fluid lees, he conceives, so strong an affinity for this principle, that when brought into contact in large quantities with it, the principle of life leaves the structure of the body, to which its attraction is weaker, and forms a new com pound with the electric fluid, leaving the struc ture unprovided with the principle to such a de. greovaistal f tobuencntoionisoLgwieruze suddenintbleof d carr e y a it t ir i b o y n the lightning. The Institution seems admirahly calculated to produce and characters as the author olthe arti cle styled a 46 Phrenological View of the Influ. ence of theFaculties,"rec om m en d s i n the follow ing concluding passage:--“ It ma y b e o b served that an equal balance of power produced, as it is, by an equal and moderate developement of ail the faculties, animal, mental, and moral, con stitutes the happiest and most agreeable charac ter. It is not, indeed, stamped with any impres-. sive or striking features ; 'nor does it present a brilliant or commanding aspect; but it possesses every quality that cane promote its own rational enjoyrnenis and the pleasure and satisfaction of others. Peculiar manifestations of an exclu sive kind of some of the faculties, indi cate correspondent excellence. When remark. ably predominant, the character *ill - biy tinguishable for singular proficiency, but de void of 'other qualifications.

The notice of the Society's " discussions," giv. ing the leading heads of the arguments on both sides of every question, is extremely interesting and instructive.

Bow-STltEET.—Yesterday a young woman ofsuperior man. ners and address, who stated her name to be Letitia Picke, was brought before G. It.

It appeared that the prosecutrix, Mrs. Bricks, had. known her for five years, but h a d l ost s i g h t of her for a l ong timettnti__! about three weeks s i nce , w h en the prisoner went to her ho u r in a wretched state of poverty, and declared she was nesq starving. Mrs. Bricks took her in, and employed tend upon an insane lady who lodged in her house.. LW day morning she left the house as early as five o'clock, witho ut having given any notice of such an intention ; and it was 9, 13 , covered that she had taken with her nearly the whole of 1111 1 _ Bricks' wardrobe. Some months ago the prisoner. went to ti! house of the widow Green, mentioned above, and hired an apartment, which she was to take possession of on a giventi itVhen she had left the house, Mrs. Green missed a sheet a fi l some other articles. She saw no more of the prisonir Thursday evening, when she met her near Charing-crosor_n; gave her in charge.
