EMORNINO HERALD.] ,"Redundant population" seems to bethe hobby of , the many who write and talk, and even of the very- : few who .think, on the .state of. Ireland. There is inione of the philosophical tales,of Vol, taire, a passage bearing a curious and even useful Mpplicatiou to this subject.. It is ,the dialogue of a geometrician with his disciple, on finance, in dustry, subsistence, and taxation—or, what is termed political economy-rthe colloqUy must,be imagined:' considerably advanced --- the popula tion' of France ,settled at twenty millions—and the Income of the kingdom such as, equally divided, to allow each individual-of the twenty millions, forty crowns for his share. The disciple, who is called Phowne aux quaranto ecus—from his.having exactly an income of forty crowns, puts the case to the philosopher. " If we took a fancy to get double the number of children we do—if the population was doubled, and ~that instead of twenty, we had forty millions, what would be the consequence !" The 'Geometrician replies-- ",The crilsequence would be that each would, be reduced to expend, one with another, only twenty crowns- or .that the produce o(the laudshould be ' doubled---or that we should have double the num, ber of paupers—or that we must gain double,(by balance of trade) upon,the foreigner ---- or that we must send half the nation to America—or that one half of the nation must eat the other."--,This disjunctive proposition .of .the philosopher in cludes every possible condition—quid,, therefore, the actual condition ; every possible cure, and therefore, the most Advisable cure .for : the ,condi tion of Irel an d.

MELANCHOLY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE We have received intelligence from a Gentle. man at Brighton, who was an e ye-wit nes s to most of the facts he details, of a most melancholy at tempt by a young female of grea t p ersona l b eauty to commit suicide. The circumstances under which she was instigated to this act of despera tion are peculiarly distressing, and the apprehen sion- for her safety is the more alarming, from a second, but unavailing repetition of the attempt. It appears that this beautiful young woman maintained an unblemished character until a few days previous to the first attempt site made to destroy herself. She had been some time past under an engagement to a wretch, to whom she yielded, under a promise of immediate marriage. With a , brutal disregard to her feelings, and bare abandonment of his own plighted faith, and after a sacrifice, in which he at least ought to see nothing but what was noble and disinterested on her part, he flung his victim " like a loathsome weed away"—deserted her, and left Brighton. Stung with disappointment and despair, and feeling that it is not life, but the condition of living, that makes human ex istence supportable, she resolved not to survive the ruin of her reputation. She determined on self-destruction ; and accordingly on the night of the 2d of A ugust,at 11 o'clock, she plunged from a retired part of the West Cliff at Brighton. It was a clear moonlight night,and it providentially happened, that one of the preventive guard was near the spot. He saw a female form plunge into the waters, and with that generous and noble intrepidity which has ever distinguished the naval character of this country, he plunged after her. With considerable difficulty he succeeded in seizing her before she was drowned, and ",buffeting the billows to her rescue," he bore her in arms to the temporary barrack, situated on the West Cliff, close to the Artillery Fort. The Officer in, charge of the party gave immediate attention to the unfortunate unknown, and the sailors' wives were ussiduous in adniinistering every assist ance in their power. Mr. Pitt, a surgeon, re siding in thee neighbourhood, was in i ns t an t at. tentlance,, and with a promptitnde and. anxiety that reflect much credit upon him, pursued those means fOr ,ielitierhig. suspended animation' that hive beau so successfully pursued by the Humane Society. After s"veral hours of anxious vigilance he bad the satisfaction to observe his exertions were crowned with success, and that the hap. IPIN female seas restored to life.

ASSIZg IgTELLIGhNCE:' . „CHELMSFORD, Aug. 4. CIVIL SlDE.—Beibit Mr. Justice Bvituouatt. num.zw V. fiTIIINGFELLOW AND WIFE. This was an action in case, against the defendant for mali ciously injuring a picture, the property of the plaintiff—Plea, " Not guilty." The plaintiff is an attorney; and the defendant a tradesman, both residing at Southend. The picture, which was the sub, ject of the action, was an oil painting of a horse, upon which the plaintiff set great value. It appeared that the plaintiff having in his character of attorney stied the defendant in a bill of exchange, a day was appointed for the latter to meet at the office of the former to pay the money. The defendant deputed his wife to pay the money, and she went in company with a Mr. Cobbold, to the plaintiff's house for that purpose. 'When she got there, she found the plaintiff from home. She seemed angry at the breach of the plaintiff's appointment, and broke out. into some passionate expressions.. A female servant who attended the door, invited her to sit down in the parlour, and told her that the plaintiff' was in the neighbourhood,. mentioned where he was, and said that he should be sent for. Mr. Cobbold then went to look for the plaintiff: In the interval the defendant's wife remained in the parlour, and, as was alleged, maliciously injured the•picture in question, which hung up in the room. The principal witness to support the case was the plaintiff's female servant, who deposed that whilst Mrs. Stringfellow was in the parlour, she heard her walk about the room, go to a table drawer in which was a knife-steel, anti then make a rumbling noise as if a picture was moving on its peg against the wainscot. Before Mrs. Stringfellow came to the house, the witness was quite sure her master's picture was uninjured; but as soon as .Mrs. Stringfellow went away, she observed the horse's eyes had been poked out with some such instrument as a steel, there being two small holes punctured in the canvass. Mrs. Stringfellow was altogether in the room for about ten minutes. On her cross examination, she admitted, that she had been a witness on two fonner occasions for her master once in London, and another time at the assizes.. There was a peep-hole in the wainscot of the room, but the did not look through it. Was quite certain that the picture was safe before Mrs. Stringfellow went into the room, and that it was injured when she left.. The picture was exhibited in court, but it was any thing but a masterpiece. The utmost value set upon it was 51., but it was obviously worth no such money. No objection was taken to the form of the action, but the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. Auourr 3. CIVIL. SlDE.—liefrre the LOAD CHIEF BAIIO2I. YANDERMICULEN V.VANDIRMICULICX. Thig was an action brought by a sister againit her brother, to, recover the sum of 1561. for the funeral expences of their father. The plaintiff's case was, that her father. (Mr. Joseph Pom fret Vandermeulen) bad died in the year 1822. Being left his executrix, with a very limited income (not more than from 60!. to 1001. a year), she had intended to bury him respectably,•but inexpensively, in Cambridgeshire. Alr. Frederick Vander meulen(the defendant), liqwever, who, by the bequest of his grandmother, enjoyed a very con sid erable fortune, thought such a course derogatory to the honour of the family, and insisted upon carrying his deceased father to the family vault at St. Al , ban's. In doing this, a very heavy expence had been incurred, which, in the first instance, he had declared should be his; but which, when called upon by the executrix (who had paid it), he now refused to defray. . Mr. bewOrthy, a Clergy Min of respectability, and a Magis trate for Cambridgeshire, was called to prove the case. This gentleman, who was married to the aunt of both the parties, and in whose family the plaintiff lived, swore that tbe defend ant had undertaken the charge of his father's funeral, and had employed him (witness) to give all necessary orders and direc tions. Witness had done this ; paid all the bills, and beenre paid by Miss Eve Vandermeulen, the executrix. In the course of the funeral arrangements, lie (the witnesi) had frequently spoken, to the defendant about the heavy expenee, incurred. Defendant had answered, that he would hive the thing 30--. that he would sell his coat rather than have his father buried otherwise—that he would pay the expence. Mr. H. Coop): n, for the defendant, endeavoured to show that Mr. beworthy was the real plaintiff in this cause he having in fact brought an action against the defendant, and failed in re. covering at the very, last assizes. lie denied any intention on the time, to render himself liabl e 64 part of the defendant, at any his father's funeral. Alias Vandertneulen Was the father's sole heir (and to considerable property) as well as his execu. trix, Mr. F. Vandernieulen not being even mentioned in his will. All that the defendant had wished was to see his father buried respectably, which he knew his sister had assets suffi cient to afford. The Lorin Cniiiir Bailor( nil, that the short question for the Jury was, whether the defendant had undertaken to indent nify the Plaintiff for the expence of condu c ting their fath e r's funeral in the way in which he desired to see it done. His mere wish, nor even his interference (which had evidently been very active) with the funeral arrangements, would clo to sus. lain the present action there must have been a specific under taking by him. Whether the defendant had ever given such an undertaking, the Jury must collect from the evidence of Mr. Lewortlty. It appeared that (as to some points of expence) he had said, " I will have it so;" about others, " I would sell my coat, &c., rather than it should be otherwise t and, upon one point, " ,I will, pay for it all." How far these.declarations would constitute an undertaking as to the whole charge, or as to part,' it would be for the Jury, peculiarly, to consider. He (the Chief . Baron) thought it questionable, whether the posi. tive. undertaking necessary had been given. The Jury. after retiring for hulf an hour, found their verdict fur the defendant YORK, Alto. 3. SIeDUCTIO)L—ALICE THOMPtION v. FRANCIS COVIERVEY. This was an action brought by the mother for the loss of ser. vices of her, Alaughter t Miss Elizabeth Thompson. (kir.

The damages were laid at One Thousand Pounds. , The defendant pleaded the general issue. The defendant in this case, it appeared, resided at Bridling. ton Quay, a w a t e ri ng place, about twenty miles from Scarbo. r ough, where he invited the daughter of the plaintiff to coma and visit him in the absence of his wife, and where the de. fendant accomplished the ruin of the young lady in the *bort space of twonty.four hours after her arrival. A more cold lover it was not possible for a warm-hearted girl to passems—one too of th e wrong s id e of forty, and - who could begin his notes (for they were not love letters) in in. this frigid manner Mr. ('.ovens), presents his coin. pliments to Allis ThoMp s o n , a nd would - be happy to see her at Bridlington Quay," Ace. to which place Miss T. went forth. with ; and in reply to a question from the defendant's Counsel, she could not say whether her bcd.room door Will fastened or not. Miss Elizabeth Thompson, who appeared to be about 24 years of age, possessing blue eyes, and of interestin g a p pearance, was examined as to th e f act , a nd she gave her evidence in a becoming manner, shedding a few tears at drat.

Jonathan !fall was called, who swore to nearly the sant; ef fee! as the last witness. J. Aker, the shepherd, on being called, identified the sheep as his master's. The JUDGE observed, that they had to consider the int.- tion of the. prisoner as to the theft ; for Lad he not been de tected, he would, of a certainty, have carried it into perfect execution. The Jury then returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly re- commended him to the mercy of the Court, in consideration of his advanced age, and large and distressed family. His LORDBIIIP passed sentence—Transportation for life. John Hoare, aged 30, stood indicted for stealingon the 20th of July, last, at Lumly, in the parish of SVestbourne, in the county of Sussex, a quantity of bacon, the property of Charks . Mont, a miller ; he pleaded Not Guilty. It appeared that the prisoner was in the habit ofgoing to the mill to catch rats (that being his profession), and thereby had free access to all parts of the house and buildings. Several witnesses were called, who proved h►s having taken away the bacon. The prisoner being called upon for his defence made one which excitedconsiderable interest, from the wanner in which it was couched and.delivered ; it was certainly s most splendid defence from such a man. The Judge appear• ed astonished at the unhesitating manner in which he spoke. He was a married man,. lie said, and had served in the army nine years, and was discharged a serjeant, since which tins he had maintained himself and family by destroying rats at farm houses. , He called a respectable looking farmer to speak to his characi ter, and who gave him•a most excellent one; lie never heard any harm of him up.ta the time of the alleged theft, and he had known him six years. The prosecutor's servant also spoke well of him up W tha t time. They Jury , returned a verdict of Not Gully, a nd the pri' soner was discharged. COPPER A Tui ship Mercy, the Ixolteiti of Messrs. T. Daniel and Co., lately returned from the W.est Indies, exhibits the first successful proof of an improvement in copper sheathing. This ship was sheathed with Mr. .110 , shet's patent copper, whiCh, after her West India voyage, remains with the same smooth surface as when manufactured:, The test, no d ou b t , i s short, but it is k nown by pilletic_t ; men, that a disp os i t i on to premature corrosion can be trams even on shorter trials ; and Sir Henry Davy's experiments (see Philosophical Transactions for 1824, Part Ist) deseribeo most accurately the' appearances of that corrosion freAss ni in common copper, the absence of which i s th e remark able character of Mr. Musliet's patent copper; and the same ' high auth or i ty b ears evidence to Mr. Mushet's that copper judiciously alloyed is advantageous to sheath in g' for he (Sir IL D.) found, on trying the action of sea wa ter upon two sp ec i mens of copper, sent by J. Vivian, Esq. to oa r " Faraday for analysis, that the specimen which appeared solutely pure was acted upon even more readily than the specimen which contained alloy. These facts give us ittOot hopes that Mr. Mushet has really obtained the object ofhts AO.' bition, in having discovered the intrinsic valunof that sheath ing placed in his hands by the Nary Board, which a ft er having been 26 year s i n use on the Plym o uth .
