TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not, Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow?" Derrinane Abbey, 25th August, 1834. Fellow Countrymen,—lt is quite true that agitation has re - commenced—it has recommenced with our enemies. Never yet was there so wantonly outrageous a proceeding as that of the recent meeting in Dublin. It was, indeed, a melancholy exhibition. It is afffieting to think that so many persons could be got together belonging to the class which should have some education, and yet that there should not be one amongst them to cherish one single spark of the spirit of Christian charity—that it should be a pandemo nium of demonism and diablerie—a crusade avowed a g ainst the people of Ireland — aga in s t the p oorer classes especia lly of the people of Ireland. Blood, blood in every sentiment, and every aspiration for a renewed reign of bigotry and cru elty ; the religion of the sword and the propagandism of the bayonet ; and this they call Protestantism ! How amiable it must appear in the eyes of all real Christians ! But I am weary of comment on the knaves and fools who figured at the Dublin meeting. It is the duty of every man to prepare to resist the fell spirit of Orangeism. The only question is—how is that spirit to be most effectually resisted ? The means of such resistance are, in my judgment, twofold, negative and affirmative. The negative means consist in the absence of agrarian dis turbances and crimes. I wish to God I possessed any influ ence over the persons who perpetrate the Whiteboy crimes. In the name of our suffering country—in the name of the living and all-avenging God—l conjure my countrymen to desist from agrarian crimes of every description. Again, expressing my most fervent wish to suppress all agrarian disturbances, I come to the more active means of re sisting the Orangeists—of protecting the people from the murderous designs of that execrable party, and of procuring solid and substantial advantages for Ireland. I at first thought that it would be usefel to organise lodges of " Friends of Ireland," to be called " Irish Lodges," to counteract and oppose the Orange Lodges ; but I have aban doned the idea almost as soon as formed, although, I confess, I was for one moment fascinated with the idea of having twenty " Irish Lodges" for every " Orange Lodge" which is or should be in existence. But I gave up the plan after a short consideration. First—because any secret or private society, in its nature, tends to crime, and is liable to every calumnious and false charge, and puts all the individuals composing it in the power of the worst man in the society, who may with safety and success accuse his companion of any political crime he pleases, although of his own invention. And secondly, be cause the " Orange Lodges" are clearly illegal bodies ; every member of an Orange Lodge is liable to be indicted, con victed, and punished for a misdemeanour. I, therefore, gave up my idea of " Irish Lodges," because I would not advise any of my countrymen to imitate theillegal conduct of the Orange men, which, on the contrary, ought, and I trust will, be put down by law. The " Irish Lodges" being thus impracticable, the next re source will be found in the county clubs. I wish to see a " Liberal Club" established in each county upon the plan now existilag in the counties of Monaghan and Meath, and about to be established, I hope immediately, in the King's County. The very superior state of public spirit and energy in the counties of Monaghan and Meath is to be attributed almost exclusively to the organisation of the " Liberal Club" in each of them. My plan, therefore, is to procure the institution of a Liberal Club in every county in Ireland. A subscription of Is. a month, and the being proposed by one member, and se conded by another, to be, as in the Catholic Association, the only requisite to constitute a member. I intend actively to exert myself to reduce this plan into practice. When a few counties are organised, it will be my duty to form a Liberal Club for the City of Dublin, to guide and direct all the others; and I hope to be in Dublin quite in time to have the arrangement of the Dublin Liberal Club com plete before November. Before I proceed to detail the duties of the Liberal Club in each county, allow me to confess myself, candidly and dis tinctly, to be a Ministerialist. lam at present a supporter of the existing Ministry. I wish to act myself, and to procure the people of Ireland to act, in the manner least calculated to embarrass, and most calculated to give strength to the present Administration, subject, however, to the paramount duty of attending, above all things, and before all things, to the inte rests of Ireland. It is exclusively because I am convinced that the interests of Ireland arc identified with those of the present Ministry, that I support them. It may, indeed, be said that most of the present Ministers belonged to the Administration of Stanley and Grey, which has inflicted such insults and injuries on the people of Ireland. ( Here follows an assailment of Mr. Stan ley, Lord Grey, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Sir James Graham.) For a long time I cherished a faint hope that the Orange faction might be conciliated to Ireland, and I have, for some years—indeed since emancipation—acted on the plan of con ciliation. I have exerted all my energies and devoted all the resources of my mind to the endeavour to reconcile the Orange men with Irishmen—l acted with as much zeal as if I believed success attainable. I, however, scarcely deceived myself by my hopes, and I am now—and for ever—convinced that Orangeism must be put down, or that it will keep Ireland down, without hope and without redemption. The success of my plan—embracing, as it does, a Liberal Club for each county, and a " Grand Liberal Club" for all Ireland, to be assembled in Dublin—will depend upon the utility of the measures to be promoted by these clubs—upon the perfect legality of their proceedings—upon the co-opera tion they can afford to the King's Government against the dis loyal machinations of the murderous Orange Lodges—and upon their holding out peaceable and legal redress to the poorer classes of the Irish for the inflictions of Orange op pression and atrocity ; and, above all, upon their sympa thising with the wants and wishes of the Irish people, and, in return, enjoying the perfect confidence of that brave and faithful people. ~To attain these ends, the following definite objects should form the constitution of the " Liberal Clubs ;"—First, to pre vent, if possible—and to punish where they exist—all " agra rian crimes." This should be considered as the primary and vital principle of the " Liberal Clubs." Without the sup pression of agrarian crimes, we can neither resist the threatened Orange combination to perpetuate oppression, nor obtain for the people of Ireland those measures of legislative relief which the present Ministry are, I believe, disposed to grant. In short, no evils can be avoided, nor any good procured for Ire land, until " agrarian crimes and miscreancy" are totally ex tinguished. The Second object of " the Liberal Clubs" will be to put the law rigidly and actively in force against the members of the Orange Lodges, and to punish by due course of law all the crimes and misdemeanors of the Orangemen. Every insulting proceeding on their part, provocative of a breach of the peace, is in itself a misdemeanor, and should be indicted and punished as such. Of course, every riotous assembly of Orangemen should be equally proceeded against, and punished in a similar manner. So should their riots, and, above all, their murders. In punishing these crimes, "the Liberals," for that is our de nomination, will give all the assistance they can to the Govern ment and to the constituted authorities, and we shall be entitled to the assistance, in return, of the constituted autho rit'es. = The third object of the" Liberal Clubs" will be one of vital importance—to procure peaceably, legally, and constitution ally, the total extinction of tithes. It is our fault if we do not succeed. We will have none to blame but ourselves if tithes are ever again demanded or paid in Ireland. The tithes are, at present, in fact, if not in law, payable only once a year —that is, at November ; and shortly after that month the Par liament will meet again ; and if the voice of the people of Ireland be loud enough in demanding the abolition of tithes, the Legislature will extinguish them for ever. The House of Commons, we all know, at a blow knocked off two-fifths of the tithes, and this reduction would now be law but for the folly of the Upper House, and the wickedness of Irish parsons and their advisers. The tithes are, therefore, staggering, and it requires nothing but a peaceable and legal determination on the part of the people to seek constitutionally for their extinc tion, in order to have them abolished for ever. To this point the attention of the " Liberal Club" in each county must be directed. They must procure a meeting in every parish to state its local grievances, and to petition against the continuance of the blood stained impost of tithes. It will be right to begin the meetings to petition as soon as possible, in order that petitions with from one to two millions of signa tures may be ready before the first day of the next Session of Parliament. The law of tithes has undergone a considerable alteration by means of Mr. Stanley's Act, which is in operation at present, so far as to prevent the Clergy from levying tithes with the flippancy they formerly did—and it takes away the power to distrain in nine cases out of ten. This point is of the utmost value. It will protect almost all the poor occupiers of lands from being distrained, or indeed sued in any way. It will, to use a familiar Irish phrase, bother the most truculent of the parsons pretty considerably. On this point, too, I will address another letter to " the Liberals," so soon as my books arrive. I will state to them bow far the claws of the Orange parsons are tied up. The " Liberal Clubs" will then be able to afford legal protection to the occupiers of the land against all species of illegal harpies. In seeking hitherto for the abolition of-tithes, we have spared the existing interests of the present race of incumbents. I doubt much the justice of making such a concession, and I am convinced of its impolicy. We cannot conciliate these men, and yet we leave them at liberty to continue the contest, with out any risk to their individual interests I believe the time is come to insist upon the immediate cashiering of every sine cure ecclesiastical benefice, and, at the utmost, to put upon a species of half-pay every sinecure parson. Indeed Ido be lieve that it is a bad reason to give any man money who has hitherto received a great deal, without gi:ing any kind •of value for it. • The fifth and greatest object of each " Liberal Club" should be to procure "the repeal of the Union." This is an object which should never be lost sight of. It is not possible to do full and effectual justice to Ireland in any other than a domes tic Legislature. None but an Irish Parliament will ever consent to extinguish that greatest of all existing evils—absenteeism. We must, however, agitate "repeal" with as much caution and prudence, as determination and perseverance. Above all things, and before all things, we must take care that it is not made a sectarian or religious question. The Orange Lodges arc endeavouring as much as they can to convert it into a Catholic question. They are giving it a religious hue, and denouncing it as such. This, then, is a critical moment. It is one in which " repeal" may be flung back ten—nay, twenty years. We are, it is true, agitating to oppose the Orange faction—let us keep the repeal question quite se parate from that opposition. Let us get rid, if we can, of the " tithe question " first ; or, if that be tedious, let us at LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1834. An express from Madrid, bearing date the 23d inst., has just been received. The finance project of Count TORENO has been rejected by the majority of the com mittee, who have come to the determination of paying off the whole of the Cortes Bonds with the full amount of the interest due upon them. Of the nine members composing the Committee, three only were for recog nizing the debt contracted in France since the year 1823 ; but the question is not yet decided. The fol lowing is a copy of the resolutions which are to be submitted to the decision of the Committee : " That the royal loan negotiated in 1823 (meaning that of Guebbard) be forthwith annulled, seeing that the loan in question was contracted by the Regency established in Madrid, and afterwards at Ceus d'Urgel, without the con sent of the Government then established in Cadiz, and that although it was afterwards ratified by the King, it ought not now to be recognized, inasmuch as Ferdinand would have ratified anything. " Resolved, therefore, that the committee take none of the royal loans into consideration, except such as were negotiated since 1824." We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday, and refer to our extracts from them for the only information they bring us. The extreme hazi ness of the weather in France for some days previous prevented the arrival in Paris of all telegraphi c intel ligence from Bayonne ; but that this is no great mat ter of regret, will appear sufficiently evident from a letter which we have given from that city, addressed to a Morning Contemporary. There is, in truth, no news in any of the foreign papers received this morning, except repetitions of stale intelligence respecting Don CARLOS, slightly varied so as to supply our Parisian neighbours with some topics on which to employ their conversational powers. Arrivals from Madrid are hourly expected, though we are in no hopes that they will be more satisfactory than those which we last re ceived. The Gazette de France, the regular organ of the French and Spanish Carlists, contiins what it is pleased to designate an " official despatch" from ZUMALACARREGUY to the " MiniSter of 'War," in which a slight account is given of a victory obtained by the Insurgent Chief over General CARONDELET and a body of the QUEEN'S troops. We need scarcely add that we believe this document a piece of genuine Carlist manufacture, of which every sentence is a falsehood. Those of our readers who feel inclined for a hearty laugh will do well to peruse Mr. O'CoNNELL's Letter to the People of Ireland." Anything more droll—anything more grotesque—anything more irresistible—than this production, has not ap peared in print since its author last put pen to paper in the solitudes of Derrinane. 'Talk of the farces of FOOTE What is there in all FooTE equal to this one farce of O'CONNELL ? We quite envy the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the high, rollicking animal spirits under the influence of which he must have penned it. He commences, as a matter of course, —and this is the only serious part of his epistle,—with a fierce attack on the late Orange exhibition at Dub lin, which he calls a " Pandemonium of diablerie." Let the word " Pandemonium" pass ; it is correct, and will stick ; but as regards "diablerie," surely the phrase is incorrect, for it implies the presence of conjurors ; and can Mr. O'CoNNELL look in the faces—innocent of sense as a young calf's—of Lord WINCHILSEA the Head, or Lord RODEN, the Rump, of the Dublin Pandemonium, and imagine for one instant that he can detect ought of the conjuror about them ? The accusation is as false as it is calumnious. But to pass to more diverting matters. Having exhausted all his stock of seriousness on the Orangemen, Mr. O'CONNELL proceeds in a more playful vein to propose his plans of amelioration for the "gem." First, he tells us that he thought of instituting " Irish Lodges," by way of counteracting the influence of the " Orange Lodges ;" but while he was yet travail ing with this bright idea, his moral sense took the alarm on recollecting that all such " Lodges" were " illegal." He therefore abandoned the project, for he would not for the world—not he !—do ought that might militate against the settled institutions of his country. And this from the friend of BARRETT—from the advo cate of Repeal—from the uncompromising Radical who enlarged on the virtues of " short-sticks"—from the ultra Democrat who reminded his countrymen that their " every hill was a fortress, their every ditch a redoubt,"—from the red-hot Revolutionist who pointed to the " three days" of France, and the " six weeks" of Brussels as a useful example to Ireland, at that time convulsed to her heart's core ! Is not this the very perfection of irony ! But though Mr. O'CONNELL is far too moral a citizen to recommend the establishment of " Irish Lodges," he by no means entertains the same virtuous dislike to " Liberal Clubs." He therefore proposes to substitute the word " Liberal Club" for "Irish Lodge," seeing that the former, having as yet no existence, cannot by any possibility be illegal, whereas the latter, having long been a public nuisance, occupies a conspi cuous station in the black books of the ATTORNEY GENERAL. So reasoned the Ordinary in Jonathan Wild, when eschewing wine, as a sinful beverage, he yet professed a perfect readiness to get drunk with punch, " because it was nowhere spoken against in the Scriptures !" _ _ Mr. O'CONNELL'S reasons for substituting " Clubs" for " Lodges"—in addition to that we have already hinted at—is because he hopes by their means to give an impetus to Repeal. And this impetus he is.more especially anxious to give, because he is " a supporter of the Ministry !" In fact, so enamoured has he now become of Whiggery, and all its ways, that he thinks he cannot - possibly render it a greater service, than by doing his best to cut its throat. The con ception is a humorous one, but it is not original. VOL TAIRE'S Shah of Persia used to act in something of the same manner. Whenever this great monarch felt disposed to show more than ordinary affection towards his cour tiers, he always began by kicking them about like a foot-ball, and he who was most kicked was looked on as most honoured. Now, though Mr. O'_CoNNELL may desire to enact the Shah, yet Ministers will be in no hurry to play the courtiers, and if be persist in thwarting all their best measures by his repeal agitation, he will find, Ministerial as he is, that it will be absolutely necessary for him to look about for another BARRETT as his proxy in jail. Then inark the cunning of the man ! He proposes to establish his clubs as a means of still further as sisting the Ministerial tithe plans, knowing well that the only effect such clubs can possibly have— and he means them to have no other, for they are all to be subordinate to one grand one in Dublin, of which he is to be invested with the supreme control—will be to throw the whole weight of Irish Government into his own hands, and, so far from assisting_ Ministers, to keep them, chained and prostrate, at his feet. Thus he actu ally makes use of the name and influence of Government for the purpose of thwarting, at his pleasure, all its best plans ! We have given but an imperfect idea of Mr. O'CoNNEL Cs amusing epistle ; for, to thoroughly appreciate it, our readers must peruse it themselves. Its chief characteristic (mixed, however, with some small cunning) is rich absurdity—absurdity of logic—absurdity of plan—absurdity of everything in which absurdity can show itself. Possibly, however, Mr. O'CONNELL meant it in earnest, and if so—if we should really be mistaken in our conjectures—then we can look on it in no other light than as an expedient to " raise the wind " for another year. DANIEL'S agitation always sets in with the Rent season. He reaches his most inflammable point of combustion at the autumnal equinox—just when the begging box is setting out on its travels through Ireland. That auspicious period is close at hand. Hence the present epistle, from which, in justice to the " Liberator," we select the only extracts that bear the slightest appearance of sagacity ; and in which it will be observed that poor Repeal is somewhat un handsomely treated, being compelled to play a subor dinate part to Tithes, in the new scheme of Irish agitation. This portends badly for the Rent. I propose, then, that there shall be formed in each county, city, and large town in Ireland, " a Liberal Club," principally for the following purposes :- Ist—To suppress agrarian crimes and outrages. 2d—To suppress, by legal means, and to punish by due course of law, the members of Orange Lodges, and all other Orange criminals. 3d—To procure, by legal and constitutional means, the total extinction of tithes, in nature as well as name. 4th—To attend to the elective franchise thrcughout Ireland, so as to secure the return to Parliament tf" frina is to Ireland." sth—To advance and secure the restoration of a domestic Legislature to Ireland. all events use every exertion to convince the people that the repeal" is intended and calculated for the benefit of all, and that it is immaterial for the purposes of the club what the religion of any individual may b We are looking for the restoration of the liberties of all classes and creeds in Ire land, without any distinction whatsoever. This duty is an awful one—it consists in the perpetual severance of religious prejudices or interests from the agitation of " the repeal." If we succeed in this separation, our ultimate success will not be remote; but if, by our present indiscretion, we enable the Orangemen to convert " the repeal" into another Catholic question, no other event can have the power of inflicting such a blight upon the hopes of repeal. Let us, then, whilst we act firmly, act also cautiously, and steer such a course as will prevent the great cause of legislative independence from, on the one hand, embarrassing a Ministry disposed at present to be just towards Ireland, or from, on the other, enabling the deadly foes of Ireland—the Orangists—to tarnish and griev ously injure that cause by degrading it into a sectarian squabble. Let us, then, in agitating the repeal, keep these dangers in view ; and whilst we neither abandon nor relax our efforts to attain " repeal," let us put those efforts under the guidance and control of the most prudent and discreet caution, recol lecting that, after all, a domestic Legislature is the only one under which Ireland can prosper. Having thus sketched my present plan of counteracting agitation to that of bigotry and tyranny which has been com menced by the Orange faction, I beg that the leading features will be borne in mind, not for mere approbation or for idle dis cussion, but for practical adoption. I propose, then, that there shall be formed in each county, city, and large town in Ireland " a Liberal Club," principally for the following purposes :- Ist—To suppress agrarian crimes and outrages. 2d—To suppress, by legal means, and to punish by due course of law, the members of Orange Lodges, and all other Orange criminals. 3d—To procure, by legal and constitutional means, the to tal extinction of tithes, in nature as well as name. 4th—To attend to the elective franchise throughout Ireland, so as to secure the return to Parliament of " friends to Ireland." sth—To advance and secure the restoration of a domestic legislature to Ireland. All of these are of great importance—the last is the most important of all ; but the most pressing is the extinction of tithe • and also the most immediately practical. If the Irish people exert themselves as they ought to do, tithes will speedi ly be extinguished by law. This is the point on which we ought all to combine—the constitutional extinction of tithes —and, for my part, I will co-operate with every " Liberal Club" which concurs in that alone. I feel strongly that we have this game completely in our hands, and that if the tithes were once extinguished, the moral effect of such a victory over the Orange faction would be to destroy their power for ever.—l have the honour to be, your ever faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL CK. Montreal papers to the sth, and Quebec to the 3d August, have been received at the North and South American Coffee. house. (From the Montreal papers.) On Friday, the Ist inst., there was a meeting of the coloured population, to celebrate the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. The meeting was opened by prayer, and an address was delivered by one of the Africans. From the official return to the Mayor of the City of Mon treal, it appears that during the month of July there has certainly been in Montreal this year an extraordinary source of mortality ; and everybody agrees in saying that the cause is the introduction of the Asiatic cholera. Board of Health, Kingston, July 30. Number of cases reported since the commencement of the disease up to the 29th ult.:—Cases 85 ; recoveries, 8 ; deaths, 20 ; remaining 7. JULY 30.—New cases, 8 ; remaining, 7 ; recovered, 3 ; deaths, 4 ' • remaining, 8 ; t o t a l 48. The Herald mentions the disease to be subsiding, and that it has nothing infectious in its character. His Excellency the Governor has appointed a Board of Health in Upper Canada. A gentleman who has arrived from Toronto states, that the cholera has made its appearance in every town between that city and Montreal, with the exception of Belville and Hal towell. The cholera has made its appearance at Prescott, but not to an alarming extent. ( From the Quebec Papers.) SANITORY COMMITTEE, JULY 29. For the information of the public, the Committee publish the following report for the week, ending this day:—" Total num ber of cholera patients received at the hospital, at St. Ann's Common,—from the 12th to the 29th July inclusive, 75 ; dead, 43 ; discharged and convalescent, 21 ; remain, 11. The Halifax and St. John's papers of the 15th inst. are without news. Reports arc in circulation, and, we believe, well-founded, that the prevailing disease has shown itself among the settlers at Grosse Isle : 20 deaths had occurred at that station in 24 hours. The Quebec Papers of the 2d August say, that they are gra tified to state that the health of the city is improving, though severe cases have occurred. The New York papers bring accounts from Mexico, stating that tranquillity prevailed there, and in the whole of the Re public, with the exception of Puebla ) which Santa Anna was besieging. TIIE FUNDS. The express from Paris this morning is not of a favourable tendency respecting the affairs of Spain, and unfortunately for the speculators in the Spanish funds, the weather has pre vented the Government from receiving any telegraph despatch from Bayonne ; but report states that a despatch was received from General Harispe, which presses the immediate interven tion, as the position of Rod►! is critical, and destitute of supplies. The French Council was sitting in deliberation on the above despatch. Consols opened as they left off, 84- 90 ; Spanish, 45. HALF-PAST TWELVE. Since our former article was written a great change in the Spanish Market has taken place. Spanish has improved from 44i. to 461, owing, it is said, to some favourable accounts being received from Madrid. The private letters by the Express bring Spanish after the closing of the Bourse done at 35 left off at 344. HALF-PAST ONE. We understand that several expresses liavebaenrecei;ed from Madrid this morning with favourable accounts respecting the Cortes bonds, in consequence of which Spanish Stock im proved from 44i to 461-; at present it is 46 to 46i. Portu guese sq.. Consols have continued inactive during the morning at 89i to 90 for the Account, with little doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CX. Consols for the Account, 89i 90. At the Devonport and Stonehouse regatta, last week, the gallant crew of La Pique (officers of the 66th and 75th regiments) had a narrow escape at the conclusion of the regatta. The gentlemen alluded to made their gig fast to the stern of Captain Daniels' yacht, which was cruizing about Hamoaze under easy canvass ; the yacht's jolly-boat was also being towed, and, on the vessel putting about, the jolly-boat took a yaw and ran foul of the gig, which capsized her, to gether with the gallant crew. The cup which they had won was in the boat ; but, notwithstanding the suddenness of the accident, one of the gentlemen had the presence of mind to seize the cup whilst in the act of falling, and, although by this time immersed to the chin in water, he bore it over his head, and with a loud huzza of triumph cheered his companions on to renewed exertion, until they were all saved from their perilous situation. This accident has more than doubled the high estimation in which the cup was previously held.—Ply mouth Journal. COTTON HAND -LOOM WEAVERS.—The cotton hand-loom weavers of Todmorden and the neighbourhood, are at present fully employed. The cuts are thirty yards long; Is. 2d. per cut was formerly paid them, but the price is now is. 3d. The masters say that, if the trade continues good, they will advance another penny per cut. A storm fell last week with so much violence, at about two leagues from Montdidier, in the Somme, that the v illage, which lies in a hollow, was completely inundated; three houses and a great number of trees were carried away by the torrent, and other very considerable damage was done. A shoemaker who resiOes within a mile of Paisley Cross, went out one forenoon lately to deliver some accounts ; in the course of his rounds he had to call on a brother snob who was owing him some money, and as he knew his debtor was a man of very eccentric habits, he was determined to be as delicate in his advances as possible. After some little chat about the weather, the news of the day, and other important matters, the creditor began with " Well, Richard, I have a heavy account to pay on Saturday." " I don't doubt that in the least," replied Richard, sewing away. After a short pause the visitant ventured a step further, saying " arid as the person I have to pay the account to has to come a long way, I would like to be honourable to him by settling his account." " I have no objections to that," said Richard, giving an extra girn as he brought home the steek. Another pause ensued, after which the creditor popped the question by saying, " I will take it very kind, Richard, if you will pay me the account you owe me, on or before that day." " Get away, Sir," bawled out Richard, " get down stars, and see and attend to your own debts, and give yourself no concern about mine."— Western Independent. FINE ARTS. MEMORIALS OF OXFORD. No. 22.

LITERATURE. STANDARD NOVELS. No. XLIL BENTLEY, 1534. We have now come to the forty-second number of the Standard Novels, and when it is considered that the publisher has found it expedient to go to the ex pense of stereotyping this immense mass of matter, no other proof will be needed to show that the novel readers must be prodigiously on the increase. Nothing short of an enormous sale could possibly requite the outlay incident upon so extensive a publication. It is got up admirably at half the usual cost of far inferior works ; and though much of it, Nye fear, may be liable to premature decay, yet there are parts of the collec tion which, for years to come, will find a place in many libraries. If a few only of the authors gain ad mission to the Temple of Fame, it is as much from the want of vacancies as from the want of merit. The building has long been crowded to excess, and no one now-a-days need hope for a niche, unless he has vigour enough to . eject the ancient gentlemen, who have already found a place there. Scott, being a broad shouldered layman, did, indeed, contrive to make a place for himself, and that, too, in one of the most conspicuous parts of Fame's TeMple ; but what was an easy matter to the author of Waverley and Ivanhoe, may be a very serious task to the inditers of fashionable novels, or of those unlucky romances, the only object of which seems to be to amuse people by making them wretched. They invariably remind us of a cer tain placard, setting forth the merits of a recent penny book of horrors. This is a huge Saracenical head, with a pocket-handkerchief of no ordinary dimensions, the said head spouting torrents from a pair of large goggle eyes, while below is inscribed, " only read this work,and you'll weep for a month afterwards." The inge nious inventor of this broadside had a very pretty notion of the taste just now prevailing with our beloved public, who are never so happy as when they are crying their eyes out. It is a pity they should be disappointed. The present volume, though not the best specimen of Bentley's standard fruit, is pleasant enough to the palate, and might do very well with wine and walnuts to beguile the lazy hours after dinner, read partly by the blaze of the fire, and partly by the twilight that is dimly mingling with it. The Curate is no bad story teller ; his tales are seldom deficient in that mystery and interest which novel-readers so much delight in, and occasionally his descriptions are exceedingly gra phic, the breezes of the country seeming to inspire him with healthier feelings and raise him above him self. There is much quiet beauty in the following pic ture of a winter's night, when he has been suddenly called away from his fireside to visit a ferocious mur derer who is equally unwilling to die or to repent. " We now walked on in silence till, having gained the brow of the eminence which bears the name of Team Hill, we found ourselves within a few rods of Bushell's dwelling. Unwilling to enter the sick man's chamber under the influence of such an impression as had just been excited, I again halted, and looked round upen the landscape with the well-grounded hope, that the contemplation of such a scene would restore, at least in part, the composure of which our recent conversa tion had deprived me. The moon was high in the heavens, over the face of which not so much as a fleece of grey cloud floated ; and the stars were out in millions, glittering with the peculiar brightness which never fails to attach to them in a serene and frosty night. One sheet of brillit snow covered the whole surface of the ground ; from which there arose, from time to time, flashes such as the diamond emits when the flame of the lamp falls on it. Hill and valley, fallow-field and mea dow, all bore the same dazzling livery ; whilst the few build ings visible, with the trees about the churchyard wall, the vicarage, and a cottage or two in the distance, were each of them arrayed in a garb of exquisite frost-work. 'I he silence, again, was deep and solemn—so deep, that the breaking of the sea upon the distant beach alone interrupted it,—for there was not a breath of air stirring, and the movements and voices of living things were every where inaudible." Descriptions like this are not unfrequent with our Curate, but he seldom shows much of that dramatic power, which forms the charm of the higher class of novel writing ; he has little knowledge of the human heart in its fearful depths, or if he possess the knowledge, he has not the happy gift of clothing it with language and making it sensible to others. Thus, in the tale of the Miser," founded upon a fact most strikingly illus trative of a ruling' passion, we find nothing but the bare incident, heightened, perhaps, to novel-readers, by mystery, but without the slightest attempt to de velope character, or show the powerful workings of the sentiment that has led to it. According to the original anecdote, a gentleman, by name Williams, was de prived of a small hereditary estate in Wales, either by his own follies, or, what is more probable, by the spendthrift habits of his ancestors. Determined to re cover his property,—he cared not how distant the time, or at what expense of suffering to himself,—he retired to a cure in Romney Marsh, and at length, after a life of penury and privation, found a recompense for his perseverance in the accomplishment of his object. He went back, took possession, and was found lying a corpse in his bed the very morning after his arrival. How would a master hand have displayed the workings of a mind like this I—the determined singleness of purpose, which could endure, unmoved for many years, the strong temptation from within, and the no less urgent goadings from without—the first, almost hopeless, feelings, with which the task was com menced, when the ohject was removed to a distance well nigh beyond the sphere of vision—the absorbing strength of the passion, gradually engrossing to itself the whole man to the utter exclusion of all other thoughts and wishes—and finally the sudden breaking up of the bodily frame, when the single idea, which had supplied life and energy to its weakness, was at once lost in success ; such a subject might well have stimulated a more sluggish fancy than seems to belong to the author of the Country Curate, and it seems passing strange he should have done no more nor better with it. We should much like to see it dramatised, not by the barren imitators of our old plays, nor by the vam pire crew, who gain an ephemeral life to themselves by sucking the blood of the French writers, but by some one of the many men of talent who are wasting their powers on the more ungrateful fields of literature. But no ; there is little hope of. this ; under the hands of speculators, the stage has degenerated into a slimy, sleepy receptacle of mud and filth, stagnant 'as a Dutch canal, and there the dramatic frogs sit and croak in a congenial element ; if the bulbul of the East were to attempt his sweetest notes, the creatures would outcroak him. It would be useless to enter into the details of the other stories that compose this volume. They are all amusing, so far as mere incidents, not badly told, can amuse, and they all labour under the same vital defect. The " Poacher" is perhaps the best of them, as the Fatalist" is decidedly the worst. It will be remembered that when Carlile was making the tour of the West of England, he was anxious to have an opportunity of instilling his poisonous notions into the minds of the inhabitants of the manufacturing town of Bradford ; but that his object was frustrated in consequence of Mrs. Hales, of the Swan Inn, and another landlady at that place, to whom he applied, steadily refusing him the use of a room for the purpose of a Lecture. The conduct of these worthy persons was so much approved, that a subscription was en t ere d i n t o , for the purpose of presenting each of them with a handsome silver snuff-box. Last week the boxes were presented to the parties, bearing suitable inscriptions. They were of exquisite, work manship, and very massive • and were manufactured by Mr. Tucker, of Trowbridge.—Bath Chronicle. BOWSTREET.-(THIS .DAY.) A young gentleman, of the Tom and Jerry school, name; Thomas Hobbs, was brought before Mr, Charge(' with obstructing the police in the discharge of their duty. th? • Police constable Th Harris, 23 deposed, that s morning, between three omas and four o'clock, he was on clutY, i ' ll e the Strand, where he saw the defendant very druuk. came up to witness, a n d c h arge d him with being drunk, the sisted on having his num b er , and took hold of his c ollar for purpose of taking it.

He again saw him in the Strand, along with threetioie four prostitutes, when he ordered them all tb move °,9 f i e d girls went away, but the defendant refused to stir, and u e ha d the police. As that was the fourth time the defendantdu ti conducted himself in the same manner, li felt it was his to fake him into custody. to Mr. MiNsnuLL—Well, defendant, what have you to saY ni the charge ?

He was discharged with a caution as to his future u `" haviour. • w ith Sarah Jackson, an old woman, was charged by Currie selling unstamped newspapers. Thos. Page, Currie's witness, deposed that this t. between 7 and 8 o'clock, he saw the prisoner in Co les garden Market, with a lot of papers called the Wee* P s Gazette. He saw her sell two of them to different for which she charged twopence. ivh° In her defence she pleaded poverty and a sick husb and ' t oe had been unable to move for many weeks—it was the first her she had offended, and she hoped the magistrate woul d let off, and she would never do so again. On e ' Mr. MINSHULL hoped it was both the first and the ou p He would commit her to the House of Correction for f teen days. The Prisoner—l hope you will not, Sir. stand over till the evening, Sir ? At least le t it Mr. MINSHULL—What - for ? Prisoner—That I may have my Solicitor in attendance. She was ordered to have him there by three o'clock, (31" would be committed, though the magistrate could n ° ` what good he would do for her.
