The cost of the latter is only sixpence, and if thPv learn it by heart, or only read it once or twice with moderate attention, mre will warrant its do ing, even the wisest of them, at lea , t a pound's worth of good. Indeed, the wiser they are, unless they have already come to the conclu sion that, although they have got pockets, others have got stomachs and hands, the greater will be the service the " Catechism " w►ll render them. " Poor Laws for Ireland, a Measure of Jus tice to England, of Humanity to the People of both Islands, and of Self-preservation for the Em pire," is the title of a pamphlet which, although advocating a principle we have often opposed, contains many facts and arguments well worthy of the attention of all who desire to find a practical remedy for the ills of Irel Lnd. The arguments the author (Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN advances in favour of poor laws ge nerally, we shall not at present enter into, fur ther than to observe that we should imagine he has almost exclusively gathered his knowledge from books, and has mixed little with the poorer classes in England. It will be needless more than passingly to notice either, his arguments showing the injustice wrought upon England by the absence of poor laws in Ireland, whilst they are maintained in this country, for we believe that every one has long ago acknowledged the fact. Indeed, the only marvel is that English landlords should have so long suffered themselves, by a false feeling of delicacy, or by negligence, to be burdened with Irish poor in the manner they have been, to the benefit of heartless landlords, whose ne glect of the duties imposed upon them by their situation has driven the peasant of Ire land to this country for the bread he ought to find at home. Mr. MARTIN wishes to establish poor laws permanently in Ireland ; we only wish to establish them temporarily ; but he agrees with us, that a bare subsistence, with hard work, is all that ought to be provided for the unem ployed poor. He does not acknowledge that the principle on which poor laws rest, viz., the undertaking to provide food and employment for all born in a country, whether the amount of food capable of being grown in that country is sufficient to supply the wants of all or not—he does not acknowledge this, we say, but clearly sees and refutes the fallacy of the arguments against the establishment of poor laws in Ire land, drawn from their abuse in England. He says— " That the evils ascribed to the poor laws are owing to mal administration, is proved by the numerous state ments laid before Parliament, of parishe4 where a rigid system of management was put into execution, and at tended with the happiest results. In the parish of Maidenhead, for instance, a better system was adopted, of empioying the able-bodied poor at herd labour by the piece, and giving .hem in return the lowest possible ere of sustenance, showdig that the parish was the hardest task-master and the lowest pay-rnast«r they could possibly apply to. " Nothing was given in aid of labour, rent, or rates." This statement,founded upon Mr. BECHER'S evidence, is borne out by many experiments made in different parts of the country. The follow ing extracts will at once serve to prove this fact, and to show our readers the nature of the work we recommend to their attention— " The Rev. Mr. Whateley. following Mr. Becher's system at Southwell s.ys, " We have reduced our poor• rates from 121. to 2s. in the pound." The High Sheriff of Essex followed the plan of Mr. B-cher, and in one year the rates were reduced from 4/. to 2/. each. The perni cious consequences of the system which has crept into op-ra tion in England since 1795. and which totally departs from ti e spirit and letter of the Act of E izaheth, is now clearly utide‘ stood. The Cmmons' report of 18-28 says, th it " the plan of paying part wages 1., a Lb .uier f om the parish rates depresses the na oral rate of wages; and, under the allowance system, few care to exert thein•elves diligent :y to seek liesh channels of employment." Mr. Day, in his valuable inquiry into the poor laws and suip'us humor in 18:33, shows the resul. of such a procedure (as that recommended by Parliament) in a parish which he had under his management in Sussex The exp. nses of the old and new systems were— OLD SYSTEM NEW SYSTEM. lE+23 1824 1E25 Total-- •E 15,101 Total £9,893 4, of upwards of 5,000/. and, ition in the comforts of the " A saving, un three yea in addition, a great amelior labouring clans." No other account has yet been received at the Portuguese Embassy of the affair of the 4th at Oporto, than that which was communicated by Lord PALMERSTON to the Chevalier de LIMA. DEDEL having received his instructions from the King of HOLLAND, has had an inter view this day with Lord PALNiERSTON. No thing positive has transpired ; but it is rumoured, in the Tory circles, that the Dutch Sovereign refuses to treat otherwise than with the Con- Terence. The Times, in exculpating itself from the imputation of having, through intention or culpable negligence, given insertion to the ru mour, which was falsely circulated a fortnight ago, of the surrender of Oporto, denies every syllable of what was stated in The Sun of yes terday respecting the mode in which that report gained currency. A little consideration would have shown that so extens►ve a denial must necessarily create doubts of its correctness, as there could not have been time between the publication of The Sun of yesterday and the writing of the denial to have ascertained the truth or falsehood of that ' statement. What was said of the way in which the Times obtained its news, was, of course, founded on inference. All the facts stated by us, however, were true, and cannot be met by any thing beyond assertion. We regret that the Times should have considered it necessary to vindicate itself in this manner. No person who had read the able and heart stirring articles of that paper, in support of the C o nstitutionalists, could have attributed its statement relative to the condition of Oporto to intentional hostility ; and after the confident manner in which the report was circulated by persons whose station in life ought to !Lae been a guarantee again: , deliberate falsehood, we were not surprised that the Times was deceived into a belief of its correctness. AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENT INSTITUTION. PUBLIC MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) A public meeting was held to. lay at the Freemasons' Tavern, f the purpose of considering the objects of the above Institution. Various print-d documents were given out, from which it appeared, that the object of the society was to obtain waste land by gift, lease, or purchase, and allot it among the poor, who are to he furnished with implements to cul tivate it, the cost being gradually repaid. From Parlia mentary returns it appeared, that there were in the United Kingdom above fifteen millions of acres of waste and uncultivated land ; since the establishment of the S wiety the experiment had been tried in many parts of the kingdom on a small scale, and the results were found to be highly beneficial to the labouring p o . potation. In stating the causes which have led to so [ouch distress among the labouring population, one great cause was assigned, viz. that from the year 1690 to 1801, no l•ss than 30,034 cottages, each cottage pos. s. ssing a portion of I mod, had been destroyed in eight counties—B•dford, Ctrnbridge, Essex, Huntingdon, Lin coln, Norfolk, Rutland, and Suffolc—while the po pulation of those counties had nearly doub'ed. The labouring population, therefore, had become most wretched, and a great portion compelled to seek parish relief. Lord Burletgh, in the time of Queen E izabeth, in traduced a Bid to prevent the taking away of the land from cottages then existing, and enacting that not less than four acres of land should be laid to all cottages i❑ future built, in order, as the statute expressed, that the dweller therein should be a yeoman, and not a beggar. During the continuance of that act, the labouring classes were in a more prosperous condition ; but it was revealed in the midd'e of last century, and since then the same miserable results had occurred as before the act was introduced. The plan proposed by the Society is similar to that adopted by the Dutch at Frederick's Oord, where it has been successfully practised for some time past. About 1 o'clock the Committee arrived, and Lord Ro- BERT GROSVENOR was voted into the Chair. . . The Noble Lord opened the business of the tneetiner by stating that this was the first public meeting of the friends of a Society which, he trusted, and indeed felt confident, would from year to year inere.ise in public estimation and public utility.—(Cheers.) Toe purport of the resolutions which would be submitted to them, was first setting forth the distress which all persons allowed prevailed a neng tl.e labouring agricultural population, then showing what, in the opinion of the Directors, had led to that distress, and lastly, to show that the objects of the institution were the most effectual in remedying the grievance. He entreated a fair and patient hearing for every gentleman who felt disposed to address them, whe ther for or against the plan proposed ; and he trusted that no gentleman would introduce any party or political topic, in order that it might not go forth that the institution was founded from party principles, but solely from that desire which all persons ought to have of endeavouring as far as he could to alleviate the distresses of their more distressed fellow suhjects.--Cheers.) Mr. STURGEON then proceeded to read the report of the proceedings of the institution up to the present period, and had not finished when our reporter left. NSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Charles Mason, on being brought up for his dis charge, was opposed by his landlord, Mr. Best, who stated that the insolvent took a house of him in D e vonshire-place, in the latter part of 1831. representing himself as a person retired from the busin-ss of a potatoe merchant, and having an independent property. Quart. r•• day having come round, payment was put off from day to day, by the insolvent tell'ng him that he was expecting a remi.tance fr. m the Continent. Mr. Best, in order to make the Ir.use ten ,ntable for the insolvent, had been at an expense of 1901., and, at his departure, found th it the railing at the h irk part of the premises had b en destroy , d, and the fixtures of the house taken away. He afterwards learnt that the representations made to him by the insolvent, about lie independent pro perty, were utterly false, and that he had been discharged from this Court just hefore raking the house of him. ' ' The Gout sentene , 4l him to two m.olths' imprisonment. THE MAiIKE N.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GA RDEN MARKET.

GREGORY.-In the Crown Cour John Rochfort and John Doyle were indicted for the murder of Mr. Gregory, on the 19 , h August, 1831. Mr. Gregory, a solicitor, held some land in the district of the collieries, but resided in Carlow. During the harvest of 1831 he was in the pracrice of visiting his farms twice or oftener in the week, and had, on the occa sion previous to his last visit, intimated to his steward that he would be there again on the 19th of August. He came in a taxed cart, attended by his clerk, and having remained far some rime and dined in the farm house, set out to return about 6 o'clock in the evening. At a plac• called the Rushes Cross, where four roads meet, s ix m g re came out of a field, and one of them, named Carroll, s.ized the horse's head. Gregory asked him what be toe int. " You shall soon know that," s.i.l the fellow. endeavouring to stop the horse ; but Gregory prevented him by whipping the animal. In this way tlie proceeded about one hundred yards, the t uffian stil holding the bridle, until the horse plunged and dis eng reed himself from his grasp. Just at this momen' Doyle (the prisoner) came up with a blunderbuss in the rear of a vehicle, and fired it. The contents, consisting of a great number of pellets, entered at th. right should.rblade, and passed through the unfortunate man's bo.ly, many of them, when his waistcoat opened, falling out, as the sureeon described, like a hand ful of peas upon the floor. The prisoner Rochfort at the same moment, with a pitchfork, struck him a blow uptit the arm. The horse then started forward, Gregory stil retaining his seat, and looking hack earnestly at his pur suers. lie recognised llochfort in the number. The clerk also distinctly identified Rochfort as basting beet• amonest those who pursued his master. The same night, while Gregory was in perfect possession of his senses, the prisoner was brougl t before him. He pointed to him a' nce, and said, " That is the man." This was subse quent to an information he had sworn before two Magis trates, in which John Rochfort was named as one o' th- murderers. Rochfort replied, " I can bring nine witnesses to prove that I did my day's work ;" upot which the murdered man subjoined, "And mine too I' , The approver, a man of powerful frame, named Martin Patterson, stated that he was sentenced, at the last As sizes, to be transported for life. His crime was connecter with the Whiteloot system. He had been ',moved to the hu k at Cork, when he volunteered to give evidence ag linst his accomplices in this murder. He bad been present at three or four attacks on farm-houses, but on no occasion where personal violence was used. Ooly a woman had been struck. Being pressed to explain the nature of the blow, be replied, with a broad grin upon his face, " A fellow had a sword, and he gave her a snit' in the head with it." A more perfect specimen of a " gay bold-faced villain" never came upon a green cloth than this same Mi. Martin Patterson. He very readily. and with a good deal of humour, described the mysteries of Whitefootiam, into which be was initiated at Lugaa. corrin, an estate of the Marquis of Lansdowne's. The ()All has been described on former occasions. I. hinds the subscriber " never to go on the green cloth to prosecute a brother ; to ride fifty miles on horse. back on a law ful occasion ; never to have a chil ling and see a brother want sixpence ; not to be crimi nally familiar with a Whitefoot's wife; to suffer his right arm to be cut off, and nailed to the gaol-door. sooner than betray a brother; and to keep down land johl.ing and heresy." This list object, be said, was to b. eff,cted " by the means that were going on in th, country." The signs by which the members of the fra teroity knew one another were various ; such as takinr off their hats, and replacing them again with a particula flourish, which the fellow exhibited with great alacrity t. the Court, lifting up and readjusting the collar of th, coat, and passing the right hand across the mouth. Th. dialoesue which ensues is curious— " Who made you 2—A low-sized man, of a sandy com plexion and fair hair; or a back-haired man, of David's own complexion;" with other jarg..n of the like unintel ligit.le descrip•ion. A great host of witnesses were produced to prove an alibi for Rochfort, another for Doyle, and a third for the up prover-, 'flowing, or endeavouring to show, that he cool not possioly have been present at the murder, and, coos, quently, that all he swore ib. , ut it was false. There wee doubtful circumstances in the ca-e, and they very pro oerly gave the I:frriefit of those doubts to the prisoner The verdict of a cquittal was certainly not the result intimidation, but its ju , tice and propriety met the appro.

TOP THE PUSLO - ,':‘ .. ~..,.„7 .7 1 :,!., ..„-,' The rnoootony of chscussto :~x of Irish Disturbances, was 40171 e Villat an episodical discussion on the subject 61-WAT tich distress. Mr. Thomas Attwood opposed the motion that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Irish Coercive Bill, as he considered it extremely dangerous that the ti me of the House should be further occupied in discussing a Bill that concerned the English people so very slightly, and moved that " A Se -1:•ct Committee be appointed to inquire into the causes of the general distress existing among the indu , trious classes of the United Kingdom, and into the most effectual means of its relief." The picture drawn by Mr. Attwood of the distresses of the country was greatly overcharged. Profits are unquestionably low, and in B orne branches of manufacture there is much distress. But the condition of the labourers generally is by no means what he represents it to be. Who, fur instance, would recognise the working people generally in this description ? " One half of the working population toiled with scarcely any benefit to themselves, and another half had no employment at all. One half were dying by inches, and the other half were wandering from door to door, claiming charitable relief. The labourer that cultivated the soil, by his labour alone produced one quarter of the produce of it, whilst with the aid of machinery he pro ►luced four times more of the good things of life than were necessary for himself. Yet his ungrateful country, when he gave bread to four families, refused to him a sufficient quantity to support one. At the present time, working men consumed three-quarters less flesh meat than they did at the time of the war." We have not a doubt that the condition of the agricultural labourers is actually better now than it was du- ring the war. Wages have not fallen in the ratio uf prices ; so that those who receive no parish Allowance, are actually much better off; while those whose wages are partly paid out of the rates, are not worse off; for the allowance is calculated now as then, according to the price of bread. The hand-loom weavers are in a state of great suffering, because they impossible compering with power-looms ; and it is that their condition should ever improve. If the vorking men consume three-quarters less flesh meat now than they did during the war, who consumes that meat? for Mr. 'l'. Attwood will 1 not pretend surely that three. quarters less animal food is produced now than during the war. We have not a doubt that more food, both vegetable and animal, is raised in the country now than during the war. From the end of the American war to the end of the late war, agriculture and manufactures made great strides in this country; and though we may have continued since to improve, the improvement has b,en certainly less sensible ; but, though man for man of the population may not be so well off, on the whole, as during the brisk part of the war, w en we were consuming ever year hundreds of millions of ca pital in guns and bullets, the interest of which capital, so consumed, is now pres sing on us, we yet are not in a declining s p t e a t t e e. wit N l N t 'e nat a i r o e ns ev l eywhre forced es r she e avilyh to m urdened c t o han ourselves. The backs of Englishmen are strong, hut it is possible to place too heavy a weight on the backs even of Englishmen. V, e should, no doubt, run better if we were less heavily laden ; but there is no use in exaggerating the evil, as the only safe remedy is, not to lie down under the load, but to set about lightening it by the only safe mode of doing so—namely, low, eriug expenditure and paving off debt. Accord ing to Mr. Attwood, the change in the currency in 1819 is the cause of all the distress of the country in 1833. We are far from wishing to deny that many very disastrous effects flowed from the change in the currency. In a country like this, in which the employers of labourers, the active middlemen of the nation, generally avail themselves of borrowed capital, any change which reduced the nominal value of their stocks, while it left the debts against them of the same nominal value, was necessarily disastrous. The. andholders, too, who were left with mortgages and with provisions to mothers and brothers and sisters, suffered greatly from the change. The •vil was heightened by attempts to stave off the vii by reliance on corn laws, instead of reducing expenditure at once, and making the reductions . rent which the times demanded. Many disc , ressing results have flowed from the change in he currency. But a change now would only , enew the distress by producing another revolu ion. What Lord Althorp stated on the subject was characterized by his usual fairness and can :lour—" He was quite aware (he said) that there was great distress among the labouring classes, but It was not greater now than it had been some time before. He believed, on the contrary, from he information he had received, that the great mass of the labouring classes were in full ems nloyment, and that there were fewer persons out of work now, and less general distress, than at several former times.—( Hear, hear.) Amotag, one class of the people, and in one part of the. country, he knew that there was great distress-- that nothing could exceed it—that the distress w as grievous, and that it was—at least he was afraid it was—increasing rather than diminish, inn—he meant among the hand-loom weavers. They constituted a large and numerous class, mud were in a state of great destitution. But . that was not owing to the currency—it aea a owing to the competition between then and machinery, and must therefore, he was afraid, increase. He was aware, too, that in many warts of the country the agricultural labourers were in a state of great distress; but he did not think that that was caused by the state of the, currency." It is quite clear that the currency ..an have nothing to do with the wagea of all those branches of industry which exceed the consumption of the country, ami of which the brices are consequently regulated by the state, the foreign market. Let us, for instance., take the cotton manufac.ure. We have tinw before us a letter from Kirkman Finlay * Esq., o Lord Aspresent state or that manufacture ensively engaged, and wi t h respect to al matters , h i l n ey' whichon the Mr. Finlay is must ex ,oncernina which he is so excellent a judge.

It maintains in many counties in Great Britain, nore than one-half of the population ; and by as means, either directly or indirectly, is a vast ortion of the whole people maintained. * spun in this is always to be recollected, that not only do •e depend on foreign nations for the supply of to raw material, but that we also de l imit oil goods. e re:4l o fre,irig three. , •e u : r n th f p or art t s he e,alithte consumptions cotton-caroltwist or r 8 exported ass Aton maiwiacturi. i c ;o a u li i i z e tr , y )t ,. r , T i d2 a of i d d in 1832 exceeded twelve millions."
