Nevertheless, he obeyed his brother's summons ; and the little party sate out on their return, the two elder ones again linked arm-in -arm, and apparently forgetting that the contained any human being ex cept their own two selves,: Poor Toni trudged after, beginning to feet in the absence of other excitement, a severe re lapse of his undefined curiosity respecting Fanny's fairings. On tripped William and Fanny, and after trudged Torn, until a string of unruly horses passing rapidly by, threw the whole- groupe into confusion. No one was hurt; but the pretty Londoner was so much alarmed as to afford her companion ample em ployment in placing her on a bank, soothing her fears, and railing at the misconduct of the horse people. As the cavalcade disappeared, the fair ' damsel recovered her spirits, and began to enqnire for her basket, which she had dropped in her terror, and for Torn, who was also missing. They were not far to seek. Perched in the opposite hedge sate master Tom, in the very act of satisfying his curiosity by examining her ba s k e t, sm iling and ho ! ho !-ing with all his might. Parcel after parcel did he extract and unfold :—first a roll of white satin ribbon—" ho I ho!" then a pair of white cambric gloves—" ho! }Jo!" again; then a rich-looking, dark-coloured, small plum-cake, nicely frosted with white sugar—" ho ! ho.! Miss Fanny !" last of all a plain gold ring, wrapped in three papers, silver, white, and brown— "ho ! ho !" once more shouted the boy, twirling the wedding-ring on his own red finger, the fourth of the left hand—" so these are Fanny's fairings !

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall. After the minutes of the former Court had been read and agreed to, and some routine business transacted, A report was presented from the Improvement Committee, to which was referred the petition of several citizens, praying that the approaches to the new,market near Fleet-street should be made of a certain width, and that for this purpose the work house of St. Andrew's parish, as well as the burial ground adjoining the site of the new market, should be purchased. The report recommended that the prayer of the petitioners should be complied with, adding, that the expence thus created would not exceed 5,0001. Ci ate. It was then moved that the report be agreed to. Mr. OLDHAM suggested, that as the report invol ved an extra expense above 1001. it should, accord ing to a standing order'of the Court, be referred to the Finance Committee. 2 (1.

Several Members thought this reference unne. cessary. The LORD MAYOR decided that, according to the standing order of the Court, the report must be referred to the Finance Committee, unless the standing order should be suspended. This was accordingly moved. Mr. OLDHAM opposed the motion. Mr. STEVENS, Mr. JONES, and Mr. TAYLOR' sup:- ported it. After a few words from Mr. HICK and Mr. GAL LOWAY, the standing order was directed to be sus pended. It was then moved, that the report of the Com mittee be agreed to. Mr. HICK contended, that the street leading to the market would be wide enough at 30 feet. (The Committee had recommended 4n foot tvidtk) ovveral Members contended, that 40 feet width would be requisite ; that the Corporation had pur chased ground enough to allow of 40 feet width, and that having the room to spare, it ought to be used. It was then moved as an amendment, that the street . should be 30 feet wide instead of 40,,but the amend ment was negatived, and the original motion agreed to, and referred back to the committee for execution. BLACKFRIARS 'BRIDGE. Mr. SAUNDERS brought up .a report from the Committee for General Purposes, stating, that hav ing taken the present dilapidated state of Blackfriars bridge into consideration, the Committee recom mended that notices should be served, of an intend ed application to Parliament next session, for a bill to raise the sums necessary for the repairs 'of the said bridge. Alderman - LucAs said, that such was the very dilapidated. state of the pillars of the bridge; that many persons quite competent to form an opinion had deelared, that should the approaching winter prove severe, some of the pillars at the ends of the piers would come down. . . Mr: JONES said that even if the pillars alluded to should come down, the bridge would be es firm as before. lie thought the present was not the time for fresh - repairs, when the city was already engaged in such expensive works;- , • It was then agreed that the report do lie on the table. A report from the Committee of General Pur poses, recommending the termination of a suit in Chancery relative to cars and carts, was brought up and agreed to. The' motion respecting the expediency of opening the Sheriffs' Court to a greater number of attorneys Was postponed to next Court.—Adjourned. LAUNCH OF THE LADY 40WENA.—ThiS fine vessel, of 400 tons burden; for the Charleston trade, was launched yesterday forenoon froin the yard of Messrs. J. and R.'Fisher, - at the Queen's-dock, Graving-:dock: The apectaCle was not so numerously attended as is" usual on similar occasions, owing to the election for Mayor, which gave more lucrative employment to many of the freemen. Several hundr e d s o f persons, however, were present, amongst whom Were many ladies and gentlemen of respec tability. Exactly at ten minutes before 12 , the supports being rem ove d , the vessel glided ma j est i ca ll y i nto t h e water, amidst the cheers of the spectators and those on hoard; and Mr. Lodge, jun., th e eon o f t h e proprietor, at the same moment performed the ceremony of christening, by dashing a bottle of wine against the bow. Not the slightest acci dent occurred, except it should be called 'such, that at the entrance of the Queen's-dock Ale bow of the vessel came in contact with the mast of a flat, and became entangled in the rigging. The concession tv as i r iot violent, and the flat was soon disengaged, we believe without injury. The Lady Rowena is to be fitted up in excellent style for pas sengers she has eight' births iu her cabin, six of which e double births, and two for families. Captain Pease is the commander, and she is expected to be ready for sea by the middle of next month.—Liverpool Advertiser. The Journal des Debats contains a letter from St. Petershurgh, which states, that the Councillor of State, Langsdorff, now in Brazil, has written to a friend in Germany an account of his travels in some of the pro vinces of that empire hitherto least known. He embarked on the river Tiuta, which bore for the first time the Rus sian flag. In the course of their journey through the pro_ vince of St. Pauli they observed scenes and objects perfectly new—viviparous animals, birds, boas,, fish, magnificent ca.. taracts, &c. After a voyage of six weeks, they entered the majestic Parana, a river full of isles, and in some parts nearly a league in width. From the Parana they entered the rapid Rio Pardo, and they penetrated nearly to its source in the mountains of Camapuam. The place where it begins to be navigable is about 701) feet above the sur face of the Parana. From the small river of Camapuam they entered successively the &whim, the Tacuari, and,the river of Paraguay. The latter celebrated stream flows gently, covered with leaves, roots of trees, and putrid fish. Crocodiles of a musky odour, with a red argillaeeous earth, and a disgusting yellow foam, were observed in it. Its water is scarcely drinkable. The heat of the atmosphere was commonly from 26 t 0,29 degree s (of Reaumur) in the shade; and that of the wate r o f t h e river .24; degrees. Mr. Langsdorff proposed to spend a year in the province re .1 Cuyaba, and to return by the diamond district, the Rio Negro, Rio Arinos, and Tapajoz, and to continue his voy age on the great ricer of tb halms, LISBON, OCT. 13.—The decree of the appointment of Don Miguel' to the Regency is arrived at last, not, how ever, as it was expected, by the Portuguese brig of war Constantia, thai . was lying at Rio Janeiro, but merely by the merchant ship, Canoes, which arrived here on the Bth initant, as you will observe by the , Gazette . of the 10th, in which is also contained the above curious decree. On perusing it, one is struck by its singular conciseness no less than by the' extraordinary facts which it gives to be under stood. Ist, Don Pedro does not mention once the name of the Princess Regent, but considers the state unsafe and insecure ; for which motive, as well as for many other very important ones which he does not choose to mention; (very likely for decency's sake), he considers that the best means of putting the State in the requisite safety and . se- . curity, according to the supreme law of all sovereigns, is to trust its government to the intelligence, activity, an d firmness of character of his brother Don Miguel ; con sequently, neither intelligence, activity, nor firmness of character have been shown in the government of the Prin cess--a most melancholy truth ! 2dIY, Don Miguel is ap pointed to govern and rule these kingdoms of Portugal and Algarves according to the powers ascribed to the King i n , the Charter, and in conformity to the same constitutional Charter ; but in what character ? In that of the King's Lieutenant, which means his substitute, for which no provision is made in the said i charter, where a regent or a regency is only mentioned. It ia therefore evident that Don Pedro does not yet consider the conditions of his ab dication as fulfilled, and that in what respects his rights he does not consider himself hound by the Charter, which is an odd 'anomaly. It is true, that in appointing his brother, who had not attained then the ageuf 25 years, • prescribed by the Charter, Don Pedro refers to the su preme law of , the safety and security of the State ; but why did he not add in his decree, that this law of neces sity was to prevail only until Don Miguel attained his 25th year? If it is to keep him in check, reserving to himself the power Of withdrawing from him the lieutenancy in case of his not governing with intelligence, activity, and firmness of character, according to the . Charter, Don Pedro must be thanked for it ; for a trial, and a long one too, of Don Miguel's moderate and liberal system of govern ing, at the same time that he is under the influence of the old revengeful Queen, his mother, ought to be made, be fore this unhappy natioa is completely delivered over to him alone. I say alone, because, after having governed the kingdom for several years as an independent ruler, is it likely that the young Queen Mary, should he hereafter marry her, will ever get the reins of government out of his hands ? However, what has transpired of Don Ali guel's acceptance of his brother's conditional and restricted commission with respect to his governing according to the Charter, as well as of the guarantee of the great Powers to which the Emperor Don Pedro has confided this mate rial point, and, on the other band, the improvement which Don Miguel's mind and behaviour must have, undergone in the highly polished Court of Vienna, have very much diminished here the repugnancy that existed against him, and much more so since the persecution of all liberal wri ters, and of the Constitutionalists in general, by the worm like Santarem, and the monstrous Bastos ; for, whatever may have been the irsinuating advice of Prince Metternich to the young Prince 'against the Liberals, they certainly cannot be averse than the conduct which has been prac tised lately here in order to crush patriotism, and' to dig nify vice and abjectness. Indeed, Don Miguel ought to thank his sister, and all her perverse advisers, for furnishing him.with so favourable an opportunity of making himself respected and cherished by the great majority of the nation,. which will be for him the easiest task, if he wishes ear nestly to undertake it. Let him, like Don Pedro, be active in promoting justice equally with: all parties; let him be inflexible with 'the empires Of the State aild in the punish ment of crimes, after having made a selection of respecta ble and upright Judges of whatever political sentiments they may be; let him be strict, just, and severe with the army, and turn it into an honourable profession, instead of what it is and has been since the absence of foreign com manders—a most demoralized band of Janissaries ; let him, above all, keep away from bins his former disgraceful friends of bull-baiting memory, and select a clever and ho nourable Ministry among the moderate men of both politi math opinions ; and after this selection, let him visit the whole kingdom, manifesting everywhere his candid but firm and dutiful sentiments of respect for the laws and pre scriptions ; let him observe, by means of his own judg ment and experience, the wretched and' miserable differ ence that exists between this delightful country, and those much less favoured by nature, which he has inhabited of late years, in order to apply the remedies which humanity, justice, and self-interest call for, and which the powerful assistance of the Cortes has established by the Charter, and he will be blessed and upheld, next to Don Pedro, as the saviour and protector of his degraded and unhappy country. Yeaterday was the Emperor Don Pedro's birth-day, and every one expected that the city would be allowed to ills inMate, as there is_ a severe prohibition to do so unless it is ordered, as well as to give rivas to any person, sinless directed by a civil or military authority ! The whole town was therefore last night in perfect darkness, with only the exception of the front of the little Brazilian Consul's house; where three transparent allegories were exhibited. Before the arrival of Don Pedro's decree about Don Mi guel, Government thought of convoking the Cortes for the arrival of the Prince, and felt sadly the want 'of an official' docunient to take that very wise step ; but now they have got the document, Ministers appear indifferent on the subject. I wonder whether it is for the same reason that this city was not allowed to be illuminated yesterday. Some of the Spanish gentlemen imprisoned on account of the desertion of, the Spanish soldiers have been set at liberty, whilst the others are to be shipped off either to England or to France. This unhappy country is too probably about to become the theatre of great events, perhaps of disastrous ones. If any evidence were wanting of the imbecility of its Admi nistration, or rather of the late Administrations which have been called into activity since the publication of the Charter, it would be abundantly supplied by their own acts and measures. The very first we examine will dis close such a state of affairs as could 'only exist in the ab sence of any efficient Government. The people feel justly alarnied for their lives and liberties, and say in general, If the present Government regards the Charter so little, and manifests such contempt for the institutions, what have we to expect when Don Miguel comes ? Exile or death is the fate which seems to hang over us." The publication of the enclosed decree in 'Wednesday's Gazette has produced a general consternation, and Don Pedro has lost a great portion of his influence by this im politic step; his enemies took immediate advantage of it, and I doubt not he will soon see his error and repent, when perhaps his repentance will be as much too late as that o England. In the provinces, the spirit of the people is in a state of fermentation in favour of Don Miguel, and it will not be astonishing if something should happen before his arrival. • The intrigues conti nue; an d t h e party of the Cama rilla has been joined by some of the judges who are;to pass sentence upon the persons now in prison. One of its most recent adherents is a dezembargador, known by the nick-name of Tim Tim, a man who has served all parties, and whose .life has been marked by tle practice of many disgraceful actions.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY--Captain English of the Royal Engineers, has applied the compact limestone found near Lisburn to the purposes of Lithography, and the discovery bids fair to supersede the use of the Bavarian stones. —Freeman's Journal. On Tuesday morning a poor man at Rathro flan, while engaged making a basket in a garden, threw up some blood, after which he went into his cabin, and died in a few seconds.--Dublin Morning Register. A happy boy was Thomas Stokes, the black smith's son, of Upton Lea, last May morning; he was to go to B— Fair with his eldest brother William, and his cousin Fanny, and he never closed hi s eyes all night for thinking of the pleasure he should enjoy on the morrow. " Thomas,", for short ness called " Tom," was a lively, merry boy of nine years old, rising ten, the horse-dealers say, and had as never been at a Fair in his life; so that his sleepless , ness . as well as the frequent soliloquies of triumphant ho hol (his usual exclamation when highly pleased) and the perpetual course of broad smiles in which his delight had been vented for a week before,.were nothing remarkable. His companions were as wake ful and happy as himself. Now that might be ac counted for in his cousin's case, since it was also her first Fair; ,for Fanny, a pretty dark-eyed lass of eighteen, was a Londoner, and, till she arrived that ' winter on a visit to her aunt, had never been out of the sound of Bow-bells; but why William, a young blacksmith of one-and-twenty, to whom Fairs were almost as familiar,a.shorse 7 shoes, why he should .lose his sleep on the occasion, is less easy to diseover-- . - perhaps from sympathy. : ThroughTom's•impatienee the party were early astir : indeed, he had roused the whole house long before daybreak ; and betimes in the forenoon they sate forth on their progress; Tom in a state of spi rits that caused him to say Ho ho ! every minute, and much endangered the new hat that lie was toss ing in the air; William and Fanny,with a more.con centrated and a far• quieter joy. One should not see a finer young couple : he, decked in his Sunday at tire, tall, sturdy, and muscular, with a fine open countenance, and an air of rustic gallantry that be came him well; she pretty and modest, with a look of gentility about her plain dark gown and cottage bonnet, and the little straw basket that she carried in her hand, which even more than her ignorance of tree, and bird, and leaf, and flower, proclaimed her town breeding,—although that ignorance was such, that Tom declared that on her first arrival at Upton Lea, she did not know an oak from an elm, or a sparrow from a blackbird. Tom himself had yet to learn poor Fanny's excuses, how much oaks and elms resemble each other in the London air, and how very closely in colour, though not in size, a city spar row approaches to a blackbird. Their way led through pleasant footpaths; every bank covered with cowslips and blue-bells, and over hung with the budding hawthorn, and the tasselled hazel ; now between orchards, whose trees, one flush of blossom, rose from amidst beds of daffodils, with their dark waving spear-like leaves and golden flowers ; now along fields, newly sown with barley, where the doves and wood-pigeons—pretty inno cent thieves, were casting a glancing shadow on the ground as they flew from furrow to furrow, picking up the freshly planted grain and now be tween close lanes peopled with nightingales; until at last they emerged into the gay high road, where their little party fell into the flood of people pouring on to the Fair, much after' the manner in which a tributary brooklet is lost in the waters of some mighty stream. '• A. mingled stream in good :tooth it was—a most 'motley procession I Country folks in all varieties, from the pink-ribboned maiden,. the belle of her parish, tripping along so merrily, to the sober and demure village matron, who walked beside her with a slow lagging pace, as if tired already,—from the gay Lothario of the hamlet; with his clean sMock froek, and his hat on one side, who strutted along, ogling the lass in the pink ribbons; to the "grave and reverend signor," the patriarch of the peasantry, with: his'straight wltite hair, and his well-preserved Wedding suit, who hobbled stoopingly on, charged With two great-grandchildren- 7 a sprightly girl of six lagging him forward, a lumpish boy of three 'dragging him back. Children were there of all conditions, from '" mamma's darlings" in the coronet carriage—the little lords and ladies; to whom a fair was, as yet, only a "name of power"—down to the brown gipsey urchins strapped on their mother's back, to whom it was t familiar sight—no end to the chil dren !—no end to the grown people !—no end to the vehicles ! Carts crammed as full as they could be stowed; gigs with one, two, three, and four in side passengers; waggons laden with men instead of corn ; droves of pigs ; flocks of sheep ; herds of cattle; strings of horses ; with their several drovers and drivers of all kinds and countries—English, Irish, Welch, and Scotch—all bound to the Fair. Here an Italian boy with his tray of images ; there a Savoyard with her hurdy-gurdy ; and lastly, strug gling through the midst of the throng, that painful minister of pleasure, an itinerant shewman, with his poor box of puppets and his tawdry wife, pushing, and toiling, and straining every 'nerve for fear of being too late. No end' to the people !—no end to the din ! The turnpikeman opened his gate and shut his ears in despairing resignation. Never was known so full a May Fair. And amongst the thousands assembled in the market-place at B—, it would have been difficult to . fitid a happier group than our young cousins. Tom, to be sure, had been conscious of a little ne glect on the part of his companions. The lectures on ornithology, with which ehemin faisant he had thought fit to favour Fanny (children do dearly love to teach grown, people, and all country boys are learned in birds), had been rather thrown away on that fair - damsel. William and she had Walked arm-in-arm ; and when he tried to join them on one side, he found himself cast off, —when on the other, let go. Poor Tom was, evidently, de trop in the party. However, he bore the affront like a philosopher, and soon forgot his grievances in the solid luxuries of tarts and gin gerbread; in the pleasant business of purchasing and 'receiving petty presents; in the clatter, the bustle, and the merriment of the Fair. Amidst all his de light, hOwever,he could not but feel a little curiosity,• when William having lured him to a stall, and fixed him there in the interesting oc cupation of selecting a cricket-ball, persuaded Fanny to go under his bouring shops. Tom escort to m a k e some p ' s attention to his own un rivate purchases at the neigh portant bar ga i n was sa dl y di strac t e d by watching his companions as they proceeded from the linen draper's to the jeweller's, and from the jeweller's to the pastry-cook's ; looking, the whilst, the one proud and happy, the other shy and ashamed. Tom could not tell what to make of it, and chose, in his per plexity, the very worst ball that Was .offered to him ; but as h e h a d seen t h e i r seve r a l parcel s snug l y deposited is the straw basket, he fancied that the secret lay there, and, on their rejoining him, having vainly offered to carry the basket, he summoned courage to ask, point blank, what it contained ; at ‘vhichquestion, F ann y blushed, and William laughed ; and on a repetition of the inquiry, answered with an arch smile—" Fanny's ,fairings." Nov as Fanny had before purchased toys, and cakes, and such like trifles for the whole family, this reply, and the air with which it was delivered; served rather to stimu late than to repress the vague suspicions that Were floating in the boy's brain. A crowd, however, is no place for impertinent curiosity. Lonelines s and ennui are necessary to the growth of that weed. If there had been a fair in Blue-beard's castle, his wives would have kept their heads on their shoulders; the blue chamber and the diamond key would have tempted in vain. So Tom betook himself to the en- IRELAND. • STATE OF SOCIETY IN THE COUNTRY.— There are more ranks in society in Ireland than any country with which I am acquainted. In England, for instance, society in the country is divided into the nobility, the gentry, the farmers, or substantial yeomen, and labourers. Speaking of the country parts only, I purposely omit the commercial, the manufacturing, and professional ranks, which are confined to the large towns, and aw the same •in both England and Ireland —in the latter, manufaCtures are few or none. Of the nobility of Ireland, and ,the higher gen try, such as Members of Parliament, I am also saved the trouble of speaking, as you have spe cimens enough of both every winter, and unhap pily for Ireland, permanently residing with you. The gentry and yeomanry are split here into numberless castes. Of the former, many are in , eluded' in the class of gaol birds, to whom re ' ference is made in a preceding notice of " the ! state of landed property." But there are many honourable exceptions. There are still to be found among. the wrecks of society here many Squires of ancient family, lovers of justice, and of peace, and of their country—men who reside on their, estates, respected more than feared ; who pay their debts without compulsion,•admi- . nister justice with impartiality, and are ex amples of virtue and domestic happiness to their humble neighbours : but it is in the genus of farmers the shades and degrees are to be found. The Squireen is placed at the head, oil the confines that separate the gentry from the yeo manrv—just as the oyster and the polypus are placed by naturalists on the link that divides animated from inanimate nature. This creature, contemptible ?in conduct as well as name, is sometimes the spurious offspring of a prodigal Lord or Squire, sometimes the enriched agent of the absentee—not unfrequently, too, the in dolent son of an industrious parent, wealthy farmer, or shopkeeper—is found often thrust into the commission of the peace—keeps his horses and hounds—imitating his betters in every thing but their virtues. He measures his power of doing good or evil by the length of his rent-roil. By his servility and sycophancy, he often tries, but seldom obtains, admittance to company of high rank, and from the middling ranks he separates himself by his arrogance and affectation—always sure to rule his immediate dependents with a rod of iron. In these and other respects the Squireen becomes the centre of a system of his own, and forms a distinct spe cies in Ireland. The S/ n ween comes next in order. The farmer, ambitious to be a Squireen, gives up husbandry, hangs upon the dark wall, m a cor ner remote and unseen, the honourable imple ments of his father's calling, lets the farm at a rack-rent to the cottiers, who were before the companions of his daily labour, but who are thus suddenly transformed into tenants—perhaps into 40s. freeholders; for it is not the least misfor tune of Ireland, that men scarcely able to keep a house desire to become freeholders. The Mu- neen counts on paper an income' of 1001. a-year, drawn from these paupers, whom he dignifies with the name of tenants. He is now qualified to. keep his gun ; he pursues the ...3guireen's hounds, on a special day ; he is also seen with hiS fishing-rod in due season. Between these pursuits, so unsuited 'to—his miserable condi tiOn, by day, and the more vicious ones, maddening his - brains with WhiSky punch, or seducing simple country Maidens, at night, the Shuzzeen wastes the precious time.- Though his tenantry and family, if he have any, are in equal distress, 'yet appearing the, gentleman still, he has one day the Ensign in country quarters the com panion of his revels---:n e xt day he sits, with equal satisfaction, with the dancing -master, or the horse-rider of the parish. Rejected by the better ! orders, be in his turn disdains the company of: the . .farmer, and is therefore left alone in • the , world, or abandons himself to the company of every stray character that goes his way. Unable to support himself by the, scanty means dragged THE FARMEns.—The two last orders are excrescences grown upon Irish society—inere superfluous links in the chain—neither fit for use nor ornament. The farmer, over whom they af fected a superiority, follows them with his con tempt, and punishes their insolence by branding them with these diminutive names, to mark their degeneracy. • To these Sguireens and Shuneelis, contra-distinguiShed from the farmer, may be ap plied the words of one of Ireland's poets ; They, like' Princes and 'Lords • May flourish ormay fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made; - 13nt.a: bold peasantry, their country's pride, • ' When, once destroyed, can never be supplied." The race'of peaSantry, however, is not yet quite extinct in Ireland. There are still to be found many substantial farmers who, never aspiring be yond their station, struggled successfully against the distresses brought on them by the reverses of the years' 1816 and 1817. They have presented the interesting picture of industry and honesty struggling with adversity,'whiCh they have sur vived. !Many .such - Men" can still be found ill Ireland, as sound and substantial as the yeomanry of England. 'These are .the men who cultivate the soil, who pay the rents to reckless absentees, who produce the corn, and the butter, and the beef, and the pork, that supply the markets of England. THE LABOUREns.-The last and most nu merous Class- remain 'yet to be described ; they Consist4,,of 'men who support themselves and families by their labour; arsixpence pe'r day—of farmers' servants,, who have no families, of half the forty Shilling' freehOlders through the coun try, of nominal householders, rogues and vaga bonds, who know not when they rise in the morning where they shall sleep at night. The appellation of " labourer" is too respectable for the four-fifths of this class. The real labourers, are useful men, working hard for a mere trifle; but such a trifle as supports their families on po tatoes and milk. Attached to the farmer for they work, they share his comforts and. Sympathise in his distress. This class of men is not numerous, and still less numerous are farm servants. Formerly eight or ten healthy, al.l e . bodied young men might be found residing - in the house of a respectable farmer, accumulatin g their wages for years, andliving in common with the family. But that custom is now altered,— Such a rage has lately prevailed for the possession of a house and wife, that as soon as a farmer's servant man can acquire the price of a pot and a pair of blankets, and the consent of some simple girl to marry him, off they go to the Priest to be married. The Priest has no alternative ;he sees the evil consequences of such marriages as . clearly as Dr. Malthus himself, but he sanctions the union as better than a sinful cohabitatiOn, whiji would be the result of his refusal ; the honey moon is spent in raising a mud-wall cabin on the side of the road. From this pair of paupers issue forthwith a progeny of brats, who disgrace the country by their nakedness and savage appear ance. The father's earnings are not sufficient to support them ; there are no Poor Laivs, nor 11:y manufactures to employ them. The Only re source left is for them andthe mother .to rush forth from the cabin at sunrise, traverse the Conn-, try, collect what they can of potatoes, eat some; and bring home the rest for supper, robbing the hedges on their way for the night's firing. They at length grow familiar with this sort of predatory life—the ease balances the hunger of it. A few of them may afterwards be made to labour honestly, but the greater part of them 'continue vagabonds, or become even Worse in time. It is: impossible to describe the wretchedness of these, people, from whom also, I am of opinion, pro ceeds much of that crim e which stains the history of Ireland. MURDER AND SUICIDE. SHELBYVILLE, KENTUCKY, SEPT.

She begged him to go for a physician, declarin:; that, if he did,. she would not tell that he had been the c use of the mis- • fortune. He told her that he would " soon be doctor enough for her," and deliberately shot her through the head, just above. • the right eye. He then reloaded his gun, and tied the trig ger to the latch of the door, and fired, with a view of killing himself; but in this he failed. He took -mother drink of grog, loaded Isis gun again, sat down on the side of .the bed where his bleeding wife was gasping her last, placed his gun between his legs, and holding the muzzle a little ooexeele i i ti ; above his left eye, be fi re d it o ff b y p l ac i ng . out, of his t oes • upon the trigg e r.
