proper feeling, must it not be admitted on the other band, that, in a case where no absolute rule could be laid down. the omission of the language did not show that the feeling was wanting ? On the whole, the topic having been in troduced in the most proper manner by the Hen. Baronet (Sir R. Inglis), and his Noble Friend having declared his entire recognition of the general truths to which the Hon. Barouet had referred, he (Mr. Grant) submitted to the House that the discussion had better be discontinued. Mr. W. PEEL thought it much better that the dis enssion should now be dropped, although he did not agree with what had fallen from the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The report was then brought up and read. Mr. O'CONNELL, being prevented by indisposition on the preceding evening from offering a few remarks on the Address, would not now detain the House hut for a very short time. Ile approved of the general spirit of the Ad dress, although he thought it objectionable in some parti cular pins. Ile was sorry that lie could find in it no expression of sympathy with the struggling Poles, whom he looked upon as at this moment the most interesting psople in the world to every friend of mankind.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, that the Government would take a more decided part respecting Belgium.—(Hear.) That nation ought to be placed in the same condition which she held iu n 90. She demanded no more— (Hear), a n d he thought the demand reasonable. 'He eulogised the bravery and perseverance of the Belgians, notwithstand ing the dissensions which had been raised amongst them. They had given another illustration of this lesson, that one nation cannot continue without impunity to wrong and op press another. He hoped that the Government of this country would benefit by the lesson with respect to a neigh bouring country connected with England, which a coutinu anceof bad Government would driveinto the arms of France, or to the adoption of a republic, which would lead to a French connexion. He denied that the distress prevail ing in Ireland was to he called famine. It was starvation certainly; but then it was starvation, not from dearth of food. hut in the midst of plenty.—(Hear.) He referred to Galway, Newport, and other parts of Connanght, from which, at the same time that thousands of people were perishing from the want of food, numerous vessels were daily sailing loaded with provisions.—(Hear.) Neither could the inability of the people to obtain a portion of that food be attributed to their indisposition to labour for it. That they were not disinclined to industry was evident in this country, where they cheerfully engaged in those em ployments which moat required physical strength and con tinued exertion.—(Hear.) Their want of means, there fore, to obtain the food which abounds before their eyes must be attributed to mismanagement; but certainly not to the mismanagement of Irishmen, hut to that of the Eng lish Government, whose rule for seven centuries had brought them to that state, unparalleled in the history of nations, of a people starving in the midst of plenty.— (Hear.) For that he arraigned the English Government as the sole cause.—(Hear.) He did not mean the present Government, whom he believed to be disposed to do good .to Ireland. But as an earnest of their intention, what did ue find in the King's Speech? The utmost he held out was the possibility of devising some means of relief.— (Hear, and a laugh.) Was it then at this time still to be left to a possibility. —(Hear, hear.) The late Govern ment, however, used to say that they could not interfere ; it was impossible to do anything ; Ireland had always been, and would always be, subject to periodical visita tions—that is, the periodical visitations of starvation in the midst of plenty. —(Hear, hear.) Since the Union, the law had been made stronger and stronger in favour of the landlord against the tenant. Twenty-five statutes had since been enacted to increase that power, and to enable the landlord to enforce continually increasing rents. He had long been opposed to poor laws. He still disap proved of them. But he now saw no other remedy for the poor of Ireland but a compulsory provision for them. —(Hear, hear.) Much had been said lately of the se curity of the Church in Ireland. Now, religion was a good trade in most countries, but in Ireland it was parti. cularly so.—(Hear, and laughter.) The poor of Ireland supported two churches, one of which they believed to be necessary to themselves, and they maintained it out of their own poverty ; and the English Parliament said the other was necessary for them, and accordingly taxed them enormously for its support.—(Hear, " and no.") " Yes (said he), you take from the poor man, often in time of . scarcity, his tenth potato for that church.—(Hear, hear.) Every man who heard him knew, that when :the revenues of that church were transferred from one preceding it, one-third of those revenues belonged to the poor. Why should not that third be now restored to the poor.— (Hear, bear.) To see that act of justice done might reconcile the landlords to a compulsory ;provision. . There was another subject, which he.would not the go into, as he should have a better opportstnity--h e meant the system of taxation by the Grand Jury, which he called taxation without representation. The explanation which had been given by an Hon. Gen tleman opposite rendered it unnecessary for him to vindi rate the Government from the charge of too great lenity towards him. The Act under which he was prosecuted had expired, and they could not obtain a judgment upon him.—( Hear, hear.) In another respect he would say, that they Lad taken a right view of the law.—(Hear.) They had considered the existing laws sufficiently strong to put down the disturbances, and the result had fully borne them out. The country was now restored to peace. He bad that day received information from Clare, upon authority which could not be doubted, that the outrages of the Terry Alt system had ceased.—(Hear, hear.) As further proof of the return to peace and good order , dirougliout Ireland, he was enabled to state, that in many places the walls were being rebuilt by the peasantry, and the hedges repaired, which were injured during the late unhappy disturbances. Nay further, that the peasantry in a variety of instances had compelled persons who ille gally possessed themselves of arms to return them to their rightful sr:veers. It was evident from these fade, and hum the past history of the country, that the people had no desire to commit outrage so long as any hope was held out to them that something would be done to ameliorate their condition. He begged it to be distinctly understood that in making these remarks nothing could be further from his mind than Any. intention to embarrass his Majesty's Government ; for, on the contrary, they had his disinterested support, and lie thought them en titled to the support of every independent Member, for they had manifested not only an intention to reform the abuses existing in our political system, but they had practically set about the good work, and bad made a beginning by their attack upon that vile boroughmonger ing traffic of which Ireland had for years been the prey. Ireland was the prey of the worst species of the the borough faction ; they treated it as their natural spoil; but now there was a hope of better things-..indeed the measure of Government was one for which the country ought to feel deeply grateful, and to which he was glad to think the public had responded as bee-erne them. The Toriee, though a few yet were in the House, had been scattered and discomfited—they had been defeated every where, from Cumberland to Cornwall, from Dover to Liverpool, from St. Albans to Bristol—in every p irt of the country the spirit of Reform had been triumphant, and he heartily rejoiced at it. Though mot opposing the Address, he had felt it to be his duty to make those few observation,. Colonel TORRENS, in reference to a remark which had fallen from the last speaker, said he was perfectly ready to admit that the operation of the tithe system was un equal, and in some cases injurious; but at the same time he was by no means willing to subscribe to the inference that it was therefore to be abolished. He wished on the contrary, to see some equitable and satisfactory arrange ment made upon the subject, which, instead of allowing the valuation to be made upon the gross produce, would regulate it by the permanent annual value of the land. Mr. SADLER was quite of opinion that one of the most effectual remedies for the evils un,ler which Ireland Was suffering would be to apply the surplus labour to the cultivation of the surplus land. The land of Ireland was rich and fertile beyond calculation ; the people were as willing to work, and as anxious to obtain employment, as any p eop l e upon t h e f ace o f t h e g l o b e; an d w h at more was required ? Good land and willing hands required only to be properly directed. Not that he thought it was therefor e to be' wouldbe neee. :nrred, that m, provision for the poor far from that, he bad even held it to be sound prinei Y o l e ,: t i, be in at . property should sustain that po verty which must moancsideut to any state of society; but he could by no agreethat the f un d p o i n t e d out by the Hon. and Learned Member o be at all sufficient for the purpose ; a who spoke last would cured, that if property of th at n rl of thi s h e f e l t as t wou fromto every ere to he seized upon, equal justice ought to be deal man, a nd that the property of the laity deriv e d t tieal sources ought to be. seized upon , as well " that o f ecclesias tical Clergy. Further , too , a tax upon absentee s _at t last some arrangement that would reach their property, might be advantageously res o r ted to. The Ho n . Member t. i en went on to complain of the vagueness of that part of the King's Speech which related to Ireland, regretting that the Government had not been snore precise and definite with respect to their intentions upo n the measures to be intro for improviog the condition of that part of the United Kingdom. Sir 11013ERT HARTY said, that whatever might be done with respect to Ireland, he hoped there would be no attempt to keep down the people of Ireland by force. lie thought it important to retnuil , , that nn error mild be greater than to suppose that Ireland never was a manu facturing country. Before machinery bad beer. brought to such perfection in England, the manufactures of Ire land were considerable, and then peace and prosperity pre vailed in that country. Even during the late war there was something like prosperity in Ireland—there was a demand for Irish produce—everything Irish could be, sold —even the rtien to flil`the ranks of the army. - He sincerely hoped that some good might he done by the in troduction of,a system of Poor Laws, but be was-not so sanguine as to hope that that measure would accomplish all which the friends of Ireland expected. Lord ALTHORP denied that the local distresses in Ire land arose out of any other than natural causes—it pro ceeded from a failure of the crop. As to the Poor Laws, respecting the introduction of which into Ireland so much had been said, he must be allowed to observe that the more Hon. Member* reflected upon them, the more would the' be convinced that the subject was one of the greatest diffi culty. Applying himself to the remark made by an Hon; Member in the course of the present conversation, re specting the abundance of fertile land and willing labourets in Ireland, the less necessity there was for additional ca pital to be employed for agricultural purposes. Mr. SADLER denied that he had said any thing of the sort. Lord ALTHORP regretted having fallen into such a mistake, and then went on to reply to that part of the Hon. Member's speech which complained of the vague-' ness of the Speech from the Throne in that part where the circurastane.es of Ireland were adverted to. He con tended that the subject was one of extreme difficul•y ; that it would be exceedingly imprudent for the advisers of the Crown to have committed, themselves to any greater ex tent ; and that, above all things, it was their duty not to provoke premature discussion. Nothing could be more mischievous and inconvenient than bringing forward dis cu..iori, otherwise than when regularly fixed and ap pointed. Respecting, the laws between landlord and tenant, he confessed that his impression was that those laws ought not to be relaxed ; he thought nothing ought to be done to loosen those ties which led to the employ ment of capital in agricultural speculations. Recurring to the subject of the poor laws, he must repeat that the greatest caution was necessary—that the Government was most anxious to do all in its power, but that if driven__ as he feared they ultimately would he driven, however reluctantly--to the adoption of such a system, they ought previously to leave no measure untried fo►r otherwise ameliorating the condition of the labouring classes in Ire land by the introduction of capital, and, if possible, by cre ating a demand for labour, in the hope that eventually no system of poor laws might be required. Mr. RUTHITEN deplored the necessity there was for Poor Laws; but felt that those who were disposed to be charitable ought to be protected from the necessity of fre quent donations, while those on whom the obligation of providing for the poor equally rested ought to be com pelled to do their duty. The report was then brought up, and the Address agreed to. Mr. HUNT then rose to bring forward his motion re specting the interference of Peers in the election of Mem bas of that House, but after a few observations with drew it. BANKRUPT LAWS. Mr. FRESHFIELD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the 6th of Geo. IV., c. IS, relative to the Baukrupt Lawe. Leave given.— The Bill was subsequently brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. OATHS ABJURATION. Mr. WYNN obtained leave to bring in this Bill, which was stopped in its progress last April, owing to the disso lution of the late Parliament. The Bill was brought in, lead a first time, and ordered :o be read a second time this day. The House adjourned at Eight o'Clock. THE ARMY. (From the Gazette of Tuesday.)

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S FETE The long expected fete took place yesterday, and what ever might have been the anticipations of pleasure formed respecting it, we should think they must have been fully realized. The day was splendid, soft, :and warm, but by no means oppressive, for thire was a gentle breeze, just sufficient " to fan the cheek and raise the hair," which tempered even the power of the Enid- 4 y sun, and ma d e the evening positively i n its e lf a joy and delight. The company was very numerous, and most gaily and tastefully attired. The fruits and viands were excellent and abundant. The wines, especially the champagnes, were exquisite, and to all appearance supplied from an inexhaustible reposi tory; and there was a display of female loveliness which certainly never was surpassed. The exhibition of the fruits took place at three o'clock. The entrance to the tent was thrown open in obedience to the sound of a gong, and in rushed the blythe and beau tiful, and anxious and admiring crowd. All was now fmr a space orderly and graceful. The pines towered in the supremacy of their pyramidal grandeur and rich golden hue. The strawberries claimed attention, each in their own fragrant and sp'endid heap—and the cake and jelly, and other pretty tiifles, reared themselves to view in a thousand pleasing and fantastic form , , amidst the rel;eving beauties of leaves and flowers —while the less picturesque, though not less worthy tenants of the many tables—the portly ham, the white- breasted fowl, and the long-accked bottles, graceful in their attenuation, and rich in their promise of the— " Spring dew of the spirit—the heart's rain." wooed the universal n o ti ce w ith a mo d es t con fidence, whi c h was alluring b e yond m easure . All we h ave said w as to the eye orderly and gladsome for a tim e ; but scarcely had the signal been giv e n ere thi s f a i r array van i s h e d, and th e tables display e d n o thi ng b u t a h eap o f ru i ns . Much gra tification, howev e r, was th ere i n - exploring them . ; super.. intending their restoration, and participating in their de struction. Aberdeen had never half so much satisfaction in Athens, or Bankes or Belzoni in the Tombs of Egypt. It appeared, indeed, to be quite a labour of love; for no sooner had one party retired contented, if not weary, when another succeeded and plied with emulative vigour the task which their predecessors had abandoned. We have said the wines were exquisite; let us repeat the assertion, for this is truth, though we did not find it at the bottom of a well, nor once remember the existence of the ungenial element called water; " with the sky all bright above us," and- the generous liquor sparkling be fore in a profusion, which might have induced a man to fancy he was not in Chiswick, but in that glorious and most joyous land of Cockayne, so pleasantly described by Beranger, but which we beg miy not be mistaken for the dominions of Leigh Hunt, the mighty monarch, who rejoiceth in the yellow breeches, and the remembrance of having once , ridden a great horse, with 'hi s h ea d surmounte d by a cap ala Raphael. We have also said something about the beauty of the womankind, but never could we siy enough. If the whole world were rendered tributat y, we can not imagine that the congregation of its choicest samples would afford a more enchanting show of loveliness. The number of young and beautiful beings collected within a space which the eye could well command, gave a touch of interest to the promenade, and a sense of pleasure to the beholder, which would be in vain sought elsewhere. Nor was the charm of music wand's : bands were scattered throughout the gardens; so that, turn your steps whither you would, you were still sure to come within the sooth ing or joyous influence of sweet sounds. Of these bands, two (Weippert's and Littoff's) were ministers to the dance, and had collected around them, from the fall of evening until night bad made no small advance, a happy crowd alternately engaged in the waltz and the quadrille. The Russian Horn Band were likewise present, and they it was who, at ten o'clock, gave the unwelcome signal of depar ture, by playing "God, save the King." The performance was encored—whether for its merit (and it really had merit, for the music they created was such as old Homer would describe as "sweet and strong"), or that the listeners might have the pleasure of lingering a little longer in the garden, we canoe! presume to determine. Amidst such an assem blage as that which yesterday appeared at Chiswick, it would be idle to solicit names from the fashionable, the noble, or the beautiful. All that London could, at this stirring season, boast of—what is distinguished, illustrious, or lovely, was present. In a word, the day was altogether delightful, and cannot fail to form a pleasant passage in the existence of all who had the good fortune to enjoy it. We are only sorry that there is not a Horticultural Fete every mouth in which the sun condescends to look lovingly upon our island. The Wines and refreshments were, we understand, supplied by Gunter. THE KING'S LEVEE. The King held a Court yesterday at his Palace at James's. A numerous assemblage of Peers, headed by the Lord Chan cellor, in his state robs, preceded by Mr. Butt, the Mace Beam, Mr. Pulman, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, Ar. W. Courtc. nay, Clerk of the HousevfLords, and other attendants, arrived at the Palace about a quarter before 2 o'clock, to present an Ad dress from the House of Peers. Shortly afterwards the Duke of Devonshire, as Lord Chain. berlain, announced that His Majesty was ready to receive the Address. The deputation were ushered into the Royal presence by Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher. His Majesty was seated on the Throne, habited in a Field Marshal's uniform; on the right of the Throne were the Duke of Sussex, the First Lord of the Treasury, and the Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners ; on the left of the Throne were the Lord Steward of the Household, the Trea surer and Comptroller of the Household, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the Page of Honour. To the right of the King, below the Throne, were the Duke of Brunswick and Prince Leopold. The Honourable Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners sur. rounded and formed an avenue leading to the Throne. The. Lord Chancellor then read the Address of the House of Peers to the King, in reply to his Speech from the Throne, on opening the session of Parliament, to which His Majesty made a most gracious reply.

On Saturday at Newtownbarry was perpetrated one of tile-most frightful massacres of which there is,any record in a civilized country—perpetrated by the yeomanry armed not six months since amidst repeated warnings of ' their bloody disprisitione. The people, men, women, and children, were slaughtered. like sheep. Nurnberg were shot ; dead in the streets, others were driven by a mur derous fire into the river Slaney, which was covered with hats and bonnets floating down the stream! No resistance was offered, not a yeoman hurt, when a body of them, 154 in number, poured volley after volley without mercy into the crowd, and literally heaped the streets with dead ! No accurate estimate has yet been received of the victims.. Some make them 20, some 30 or 40 slain, and great numbers wounded. The Saunders," whose infor mation we suppose was derived from the head police- office, states the wounded at 100. The loweit mentioned num ber of those shot dead on the spot is 17 ! The circumstances, as far as we have been able to col lect them from various quarters, and particularly from an intelligent inhabitant of Newtownbarry, with whom we conversed to-day, were these :—Two heifers, the propertY of a farmer named Doyle, were seized for a tithe demand of fifty shillings by the Rev. Mr. M•Clintock, brother of the late Member for Louth. Tney were put up for sale on Saturday, no bidders appeared, and they were driven off to pound. A large force of police and yeomanry were present. Of the litter alone there were 150, some state them at 400—and as will appear they• were prepared to seize any pretext. Newtownbarry is the property of Lord Farnham, the yeomanry are all orangemen, and of course panting for an opportunity of shedding blood. They were commanded by Captain Graham, the agent of Lord Farnham. They had been furnished previously with 50 rounds of ball cartridge, and their pieces were primed and loaded. As the cattle were driving off, a large crowd of men, women, and children, followed, land attempted to turn them away. 'The police and yeo manry interfered to prevent the rescue, the crowd op posed an inert resistance, and continued to drive the cattle ; some idle boys threw a few stones, no one was struck, but Captain King, the chief of police, foreseeing the conse quences, entreated the yeomanry to draw off and leave the offenders to the punishment of the law. His humane remonstrances were of no avail, the excuse bad been Liven, and the yeomanry at once opened a terrible fire on the t crowd. The young, innocent, and helpless were 'laugh tered ; numbers, we are informed, rushed from the merci less carnage into , the river, and were drowned; some were shot in the river ! ! The town and its neighbourhood is one scene of mourning. We will not call upon the Government to take any steps —to institute a special investigation or send down a Spe cial Commission. The man whom such a massacre can not move is dead to every call, and law, protection, hunia nity, and life are mockeries to him. TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN. •• Newtownbarry, June 19, five o'clock, evening. Sia,---Yeerdaa most lamentable currence took place here. Two heifers were seized for tithe, and were to be sold on that day. The heifers were rescued. The people, men, women, and even children, were killed. Doyle's son (Doyle was the owner of the heifers seized) was killed on the spot. The company of the 21st Regiment marched from Wexford here this morning at half-past three o'clock, and a large body of Yeomanry. The friends of the dead and wounded have removed them from hence in general; but, as report says, there are at least 17 dead and more wounded. An inquest will be held on some of the bodies to-morrow—l shall give you an account of it. I write in haste. I find from inquiry it is near, if not even more than a Castle pollard case. This I particularly remark, the police are not at all blamed ithe Yeomanry are said to be the authors of the mas sacre ; their commander is a Magistrate. So various are the ac. counts I can only give you reports. The claim only amounted to fifty shillings, it is said. W e h ave as much military array pa rading the streets as if an attack of an enemy was expected hourly. All is as quiet as if nothing had occurred.__t'our's A TRAVELLER. The following affecting letter is from an evening paper:—. Newtownbarry, Sunday Evening, June 19. It is with the greatest trouble of mind I communicate to you the details of a most sanguinary slaughter I wit fleeted on yesterday (Saturday), at Newtownbarry, about three o'clock or thereabouts, but tea times the limits of this paper would hot let you know the half of this bloody tragedy. About a fortnight back some cattle of Paddy Doyle's, of Tomblick, having been taken (it is said ille gally) for tithe, by M'Clintock, were under bail till yes terday, when they were :brought forward to the pound of Newtownbarry; but at the same time Graham, agent to Lord Farnham, and a Magistrate, collected all the orange yeomanry and police from the surrounding towns and country to his own stable yard—screened from the public by a high wall, to the number of about a hundred and fifty ' men, well armed, and haying fifty rounds of ball cartridge each. The cattle being put to sale, and all these yeomen in battle order on the road at the pound, some incautious little boys began to shout, and one or two of them pitched- 't stones amongst the yeomen, which, without any further pl ovocation, was the signal for slaughter : upon. this the yeomen opened on the people—who, unsuspicious of mis chief, were at the muzzles of the guns—a most dreadful, de structive, and galling fire. Oh ! I tremble, and My eyesdrop tears this moment to relate it. In a few minutes theroad snd ' fields were bestrewed with dead bodies of men, women, and children ! I myself had been at the market, and went ' dawn to the.pound ; in a few minutes after my arrival at the pound the fire commenced; several fell at each side of mo on the road, and, thanks to Heaven, I escaped amidst tremendous showers of balls, to the town, where I remained till all was tranquil in the evening, when I came and viewed all the dead and wounded; but, thank God, found no one from our neighbourhood, save only one young man, Mick Doyle, only son of Mary Doyle, of Kildalloo, being • shot through the upper part of the breast, died in about an hour and a half. Of the remainder of the killed and wounded, I knew about ten or fourteen, the lest are from the far part of the Dufry, Kilrush, and the surrounding country; but the whole of the killed and wounded that have been found, is about thirty or forty ; but, besides, many have been drowned in the Slaney, and many shot in it—as it was at the side of the river the slaughter took place—it was bank high ; and many women and children to avoid the bullets, rushed in and became a prey to the watery-element. I saw in the confusion, two women who did so, one the mother of seven children. Enough ! enough ! But every praise is due to Mr. King, chief of police, and the men themselves, for not one of them fired on the people, unless it might be two or three; and great slaughter, had like-to have taken place between them and the yeomen, who are all. this day locked up in Graham's yard, and last night also. How it may end I cannot tell : I saw them looking over the walls at us, as we went this day to Newtownbarry Mass. This is all I can tell at pre sent say—what I have said is only a sketch, and a small one. The road, for about fifteen perches was covered with the blood of the slain, as if a shower of blood bad fallen. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) Borris, Sunday. One of the most sanguinary and brutal butchering, that ever gave pain to the eye,• or sadness to the 'heart, took place at Newtownbarry yesterday. There were three little heifers to be canted for tithe—they were set up to auc tion, and no bidders appearing, they remained in the street. It was a market-day, and the town was filled with country people, who gathered around the cattle, and some persons having cried out they would be suffocated by the heat, the people opened a passage, and the heifers ran down the street. A Captain Graham, from Euniscorthy, with all the police awl yeoman from many miles around, immediately followed the cattle, which were brought -back. The people, the yeomanry, and the police were passing together by an old ruin, from -which a few stones were thrown by some boys inside,' not iu tending' them for the yeomen or police, as they might as well hit the people. Immediately the po lice and yeomanry were ordered to fire —and oh ! how the heart aickens at the consequence. The people not ex pecting any such thing, fled in all directions--every shot left a mother, father, or child a corpse on the street. The people ran for protection to some plantations, and endea voured to hide themselves ; but here the slaughter baffles description —every person seen was immediately a corpse ! Wherever the people were seen running away, they were fired upon. The number of killed could not be known last night, but an eye-witness of the indiscrmimakininagteawcar nage informed me this day, that he counted seventeen dead brfloicnuat.smltyohneTinghistuht,reets, and they were bringing the dead and • wounded every moment from the field. The report at six , o'clock was, that there were thirty-five found dead, or mortally wounded. A fine young woman, from the bloody scene, was shot dead; anoth er Woman, the mother of nine children, shared the same fate. Newtownbarry, Sunday, Two o'Clock, p. m. There have been thirty-six men, women, and children, killed or mortally wounded. The number who have re ceived severe, but not dangerous wounds, is estimated at sixty ; but many unfortunate beings, particularly women, and children, are known to have perished in the river Slaney. ' Only two of their bodies have yet been found.— • A poor woman, the wife of a small farmer, who had ate tended the market to sell some flannel, on her return home was fired at and mortally wounded ! She died in half an hour after. This unfortunate woman was in an ad vanced stage of pregnancy--a n d in the agonies of death, gave birth to a still born child 11 1 It was rumoured.that some of the yeomanry injured dncl crowd, wpa theoann sd h b o e lui wn lo aso n b i sa i en n h g yo et k t o o i m l i i n ed t a h nt e h e a w s S fi s h a a ro i s c l t h i h n a g v : op p i e n l a en r o ye t t . y d 6 7;1 h ive beard it allege 4) 41 tin explanation of the readiness of attack by pelt,d with of Wexford tspoused tl against Lc Farnham.

(From the Times.) • A year has nbt elapsed since our revolution, and every one is already dissatisfied with its results. Public distress is making an alarming'progress, and the discontent of all duxes of society seems incapable of increase. The King has few partisans, and the small number of his.supporters is daily decreasing. 'M. de Lafayette has within these few days published a sort of manifesto of his opinion•, in which the King certainly will not participate. Our King is a worthy man, and though he is rather too lavish of his public oratory, his speeches best the mark of talent. He is, however, ill repaid for the zeal with which he embraced the revolution. All the Journals now labour at the destruction of royalty—some with the view of bringing back the exiled family, but the greater number for the irrevocable abolition of monarchy. They therefore inveigh, strongly against the peerage, and insist on the candidates for the nos; Chamber obeying the in structions of the electors for the abrogation of hereditary legislators. The 221 formerly so extolled, have, with. the exception of a few, lost their popularity, and are now held up to public reprobation. The Ministers, and in parti cular M. Casimir Perier, are daily libelled. The Juries are terrified, and uniformly acquit all persons brought be fore them for political offences. Juries are even exposed to acts of violence, if they do not acquit political offenders with sufficient promtitude. The National Guard alone is respected, but it has lately had much disagreeable ser vice, arid the men begin to be tired of constantly playing a part which leads to no result. A singular example of the distress of the times is af forded by the hackney-coachmen, the greater part of whom have, of their own accord, reduced their fares from If. 50c. to If. The cabriolet drivers have lowered their prices in the same proportion. X. A correspondent informs u s , th a t hi s Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON is labouring under a severe billions attack. His Grace is confined to his bed. Morning Herald. The_Duke of BRUNSWICK'S manner of living at Madrid is of the strangest kind; he spends all his time in a mew public-house, where he has hired a small back room :upon the second floor, seeing nobody, and indeed having no space for receiving strangers in. Among his suite, which is by no means numerous, are two equivocal persons, who are suspected to be of a different sex to what their dress indicates. Scandal first got hold of the cir cumstance, but more recently it has attracted the attention of the ecclesiastical police. The Duke has been accord ingly requested, but in the laio.t respectful manner, to dress differently those novel Aid-de-camps; but, according to report, his Ex-Highness has formally refused to comply. Prince as he is, however, there is a chance that he may find out be is wrong to enter into a contest with the Church. A certain M.

The CHAIRMAN said it was necessary to apprize the, Court that the Directors had received from the Speaker of the House of Commons the copy of a resolution passed by the Hon. House relative to the Charter, in which notice was given to th• East India Company, that the sum of ' 1,207,559/. Iss. and all arrears of annuity, being the remainder of the stock, debt, &c. due by the public to the East India Company, would be paid off on the 22d of , April, 1534.

He wished to know how long it would be before the document was produced. The CHAIRMAN said the document was in a state of fGrwardness, and would soon be 'presented. THE FAMINE IN IRELAND. Colonel AlaicwELL- wished • to ask a questioa of some importance at the present moment. He wished to know if the Company had subscribed any thing toward the re ief of the distressed Irish ? TheCirmumAii—The Company has not yet subscribed. Colonel MAXWELL should make a motion that the Com— pany should subscribe. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the subject of aiding the distressed Irish bad been under the consideration of the Court, and would be further attended to. Col. MAXWELL expressed himself satisfied. The Court then adjourned. QUARANTINE.—The letters and papers de vered by the Hamburg steam. boat, which arrived the day before yesterday, presented an extraordinary appear ance. The letters in particular were much disfigured, owing to the efficient measures adopted by the quarantine officers to prevent the introduction of the cholera tnoibns into this country. The letters, iu some instances, were so much disfigured as to render nearly illegible their contents. The papers and letters were wet when delivered, having been thrust into boiling vinegar, or other acids, and emitted an unusually strong odour. The quarantine laws are now acted upon with the utmost rigour. When the cholera visited China it was re marked that it selected such as lived in filth and intem perance;and that o n th e contrary, persons of und runted mind, with habit s o f c l ean li ness and moderation, were for the most COURT part r : . DUBLIN, JUNE KING v. LAVELLE......Mr. JOHNSON, K.C., applied to the Court on behalf of the Rev. Giro. THOMP. SON, for liberty to file a criminal information against Mr. PATRICK LAVELLE, the proprietor of the Freeman's Jour nal. He applied on the affidavit of the Rev. prosecutor, who stated that he read in the Freeman's Journal, of the 30th May, an article purporting to be " an account of a horrible massacre at Castlepollard," in which the name cif another Clergyman (the Rev. Mr. ROBINSON) was intro duced. He also read in the Freeman's Journal of the 2d June an article purporting to be signed by " THOMAS PETIT," in which the following words were attributed to him:—" That it was high time to begin ; that the fellows deserved to be shot, and that if he were there himself he would have done the same." The affidavit then went oil to state that an appli c ation was made at the Freema n office to have the author of the letter, if there were such a person as THOMAS PETIT, given up to him. The request was not complied with. The presecutor declared that he was the person described in the letter, as being " the son of Major THoursorr, and one of Mr. RoßlNsozes Curates." that he never made use of the l an guage attributed to him ; but, on the contrary, expressed the greatest regret and Borrow for the occurrence of such a dreadful transaction. I%e prosecutor's affidavit concluded by positively declaring The necessary affidavit of proprietorship was read..—Ap plication granted.
