NEWSPAPER commenced this day The publication of .Tus Su. st Three o' Clock. at 10 minutes ~~~ ~~~~ =;_ y~/ _ 4 r T) --Yral LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 183t7.- It was our painful duty to lay before our readers yes terday, a :lamentable account of another tithe massacre in Ireland. The inferior agents of the law in that coun try have tak;tri their cue from Lord LYNDHURST, and his Tory compeers. The fierce spirit of hatred to Ire land which manifested itself in the Hereditary Chamber, 'has been practically exemplified and followed up by the murderous ferocity Qf the tithe police at Dunkerri n, as na turally as the cause is followed by its effect. No one pauses to inquire why these m urders have been committed—no one asks who is to blame for the perpetration of these barbarous atrocities. All with one voice exclaim — The Lords ! the Lords ! .On their devoted heads rests the guilt of all the blood ;Aid' has been poured out like water in this unhallowed v,-arfare, and against them shall the avenger of blood cry, till the last drop be atoned for. When the House of Lords rejected the _Bill sent up from the Commons, which, though far from a complete measure of justice to Ireland, would have been a peace offering to that much injured portion of the empire, they well knew the direful consequences that would re sult from such rejection. They had made up their lordly minds to witness that state of things which could not fail to be produced by the insane attempt to en force a law against which the feelings of a whole na tion revolts. We say a. whole nation, for the number, even of Protestants, vho voluntarily pay tithe in Ireland, is so small that it is not worth mentioning as an exception. Experience had amply convinced their Lordships that the Irish people would suffer any pri vation, any hardship, any degree of misery which an inhuman law, and the still more inhuman wretches who set the law in motion, could inflict upon them, rather than submit to th,- payment of an impost, in itself the most unjust and oppressive that it is possible for the mind of man to concei ye, and rendered still more hateful, still more execrable, by the wanton cru elty exercised, and the innocent blooz; shed in attemp ting to levy it. They have no re-ach: on--no hope even of re-action—to plead in this case. They may go back more than half a century, and still find il.rostes tant combinations existing in Ireland against For more than fifty years has opposition to this de testable tax been spreading among the Irish people. Has it, durin7 all that time, ever relaxed ? Never : so far from this, every succeeding year has seen its further extension. It has grown with the growth, and strengthened with the strength of Ireland, until, as we have said before, it embraces the whole mass of the population, both Catholic and Protestant. Every new scheme for subduing this popular feeling h as only served to render it more inveterate. Every successive massacre of the Catholics has rivetted more and more their conviction of the unholy nature of the exaction, and their determination to resist it even to the death. And what degradation to a Christian Ch arch—what dis grace to the Christian religion itself—have the vain endea- Yeurs to enforce the sacrifice of conscience occasioned ! Who that has the welfare of Christianity at heart—who that cai2s himself a Christian—but must recoil with horror from the awful spectacle of Ministers of that re ligion which ;sreathes peace and charity to all men, with their own h a ,:zds shedding the blood of their fel low-creatures, rather than relinquish an imaginary right, to wring from them a few pence as a tribute to the ecclesiastical Mammon who s . :, rites they abhor. Merciful Heaven ! What a view d o cs this give of human nature—what a testimony doe s it a fford of the truth of the Protestant religion, in its power over the hearts of its votaries—aye, of its chosen Ministers 1 The Paris journals of Monday contain no political news of importance. On the evening of that day a melancholy accident, attended with loss of life, occur redit in th e Pl ace d e l a C oncor d e , during the trial of e ma c hi nery f or t h e erect i on o f t h e L uxor o b e li s k. v stoat utanliinest in the form of triangular ladders were raised, so as to be bound together by cables above, when suddenly one of them fell, killing two persons dead on the spot, dangerously wounding ano ther, and bruising several with whom it came slightly n contact. Fortunately the great bulk of the speeta ors were scattered about in other directions, else the less of life would have been awful indeed. The accounts from the Swiss frontier mention the cessation of the blockade at several places. If we arc to give credit to the assertions of a Deputy in the c onfidence of the present Ministers, the Prefects and Sub-Prefects by whom the blockade was conducted, greatly exceeded in rigour the letter of the instructions addressed to them by the Government. Switzerland, on her part, is fa cilitating the means of a return to friendly relations with France, by the timely removal of such political refugees as have abused the sanctity of the asylum which she has afforded them. Of the prisoners accused of participating in the gunpowder treason, twenty-five have been found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for various terms. The trial excited no public interest in Paris. The King of the BELGIANS left Paris on Mon day for Brussels. M. DUPIN, President of the Chamber of Depu• ties, has returned to Paris, and has had frequent interviews with the Citizen KING. There is a work of conjectures afloat as to the object of the test: President's frequent appearances at the Palace. Madrid Journals of the 16th inst., one day later than those previously received in London, have been forwarded to us. The defeat of GOMEZ by ALAI; was not so complete as was at first reported, though the rebels suffered a severe repulse, and lost a great number of prisoners. No doubt, however, is now entertained by Ministers as to the result. GOMEZ is now surrounded on all sides, and cannot escape from his enemies, unless by some stratagem, which, if suc ftessful, will rank him first in the list of the Pretender's Generals. it is said that Ministers are impatient at the delays which Lave taken place in attacking the rebels. MENDIZABAL, in particular, is reported to have addressed a letter to G eneral RODIL, imploring him to lose not a moment in attacking GOMEZ ; at the same time, by way of encouragement, accompany ing this letter with the sum of four hundred thousand francs, to supply the pressing necessities of the troops. The dilatory movements of the army are severely cen sured by the Madrid independent Press. A correspon dent of the Eco writing from Cordova, states that the Carlists under GOMEZ, were guilty of the most frightful excesses during the eight days they kept pos session of that city. To the eternal infamy of the QUEEN'S army, the Carlists remained undisturbed masters of this provincial capital till they chose to quit it, although—according to this writer—the divisions under GOMEZ, CABRERA, QUILEZ, SERRADOR, PALILLOS, and OREJETA, did not exceed 8,000 in all, including cavalry The Captain-General of Granada has addressed a letter to the Minister of War, to the effect that the British Consul at Malaga, and Captain Lord INGES TRIE, of his Britannic MAJESTY'S Tyne frigate, had offered their assistance in defending that city, provided the QUEEN'S authority was properly respected. This offer was accepted with acclamations of joy. Advices from Barbadoes were yesterday received to the 17th ult. The Pigeon packet, from Falmouth, had ar rived there previous to the 16th ult. These accounts fur nish nothing of moment. Lisbon papers to the 19th have been received. Tranquillity reigned in the capital, but some fear was en tertained lest General Gomez should get to the Algarves, and join the Miguelites on the frontiers. We have to record the death of a young gentleman named Reed, at Topsham, by another of those dreadful ac- I dents which too often occur from the use of fire-arms. He was only eighteen years of age, the eldest son of his pa rents, and was going out in a boat to shoot on the river Exe on Tuesday, when, by stepping out of the boat and Aling his gun towards him, it went off , and the char g e PL. • in his right side, he died almost instantly.

SIIAKSPEARE'S MARRIAGE LICENCE.—This curious document has recently been discovered in the ar chives of the Consistorial Court of Worcester, hearing date Nov. 28th, 1582. At the time of his marriage he was only eighteen, and the object of his choice was Anne Hathaway, daughter of a substantial yeoman in the neighbourhood of Stratford. The marriage must have taken place within the diocese of Worcester, but in what parish cannot be known from th e record, as the transcripts of parochial rogisters preserved there do not commence till about the 'Tear 1660.

(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. MYLNE.) SAINT MICHAEL BASSISHAW. On ' Mr. MYLNE taking his seat this morning, Mr.. Kemble, the Secretary to the Reform Association, whose claim to'sote was postponed for his appearance this morn ing, to show that he was something more than a mere ser vant to the Club ; but it appearing that he did not pay the rent of the premises in respect of which he claimed his right, his name was rejected. In consequence of this opposition, it was stated that Mr. Rowcroft (the a g ent to the Conservative As sociation ) would be objected to on the same ground ; and upon his name being called this morning his claim was disallowed, the circumstances being precisely similar. SAINT LEONARD, EASTCHEAP. There were no claims, alterations, or objections, to this parish. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) PAYMENT OF TAXES.—Mr. Rogers objected to the name of one individual, on the ground of his not having paid the taxes. Mr. Trott, for the Liberals, stated that the individual had been summoned before the Magistrate for the non• payment of taxes, and excused ; and he contended that that was a sufficient payment. Mr. Rogers submitted that that was a receiving of pan cilia relief. Mr. CRAIG so considered it, and expunged his name. CENTRAL CRIMINAI:COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Frederick Shouls, aged 21, a red-haired ill-looking fe low, was.indicted for feloniously assaulting Lawrence Jo seph Russell, a member of the corps dra»zatique, who had, within the last few months, imported himself from Cork, and taking from him a hat, his property. Mr. Russell stated that he was a dramatic performer, havinc , no defined place of residence, for which offence he had been vilely incarcerated for nineteen days. Having ob tained his release, he determined to regale his inward man, in order to make amends for the ill treatment his outward one had received. On returning home on the 18th of Oc tober, between one and two o'clock, after having devoured roast beef to repletion, and drunk sundry pints of strong ale, he was knocked down in Jew's-row, Chelsea, and his hat taken from him by a person unknown. Though he was elevated, he was sober enough to know how to go home. On finding that he had lost his hat, he immediately gave the alarm, and two officers came up. The night was so dark that he could not discover who the person was that knocked him down. Saw his hat afterwards in the station Mouse ; it was worth about one shilling. The hat pro i duce& was his. Police Constable B 17—I saw the prisoner on the night in question, going up White Lion-street, Chelsea, with a hat in his hand. He bad a cap on his head. Discovered the prosecutor lying in White Lion-street. On assisting him up he complained of having been robbed of his hat. Witness sent a constable in pursuit of the prisoner, bit he could not overtake him. Witness then went to his lodgings with another constable, and after some de -lay - they were admitted. On seeing the prisoner, witness asked him what he had done with the hat he taken from a person in Royal Hospital-row. He denied that he had taken it. Witness said that was useless, as he had seen him go up White Lion-street with the hat in his hand. The other constable searched the house and found the hat under the bed. On taking the prisoner to the station•hotise, he said he had picked up the hat. The prosecutor was the worse for liquor, but the prisoner was perfectly sober. The former had been imprisoned 19 days for having no settled residence. George Foster, another police-constable, corroborated the evidence of last witness. The prisoner in his defence said that he accidentally stumbled against the prosecutor who was so drunk.that he could not stand ; as to the hat I that had been found in his room, he had picked that up. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing the hat, but without violence. The policeman stated that the prisoner was a very bad character, and bad only been 12 days out of' prison. Wm. Waller, 22, was indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Conyers Metcalf, and stealing there from four Si. notes, the property of Daniel Stanhouse. From the statement of Metcalf it appeared that on the night of the 10th of the present month himself, his wife, and a lodger named Stanhouse, left the residence of witness in Backchurch lane, Whitechapel, to go to a public house ; they locked the house up, and everything was safe when they left ; on return ing home they discovered that Stanhouse's box had been forced open, and the four notes stolen out. The prisoner was at the public house when witness, his wife, and Stanhouse entered, immediately after which he left and again returned. Upon witness discovering the robbery, suspecting the pri soner who bad been in the habit of occasionally calling at his house, he had him taken into custody, but he denied having anything to do with the robbery. Stanhouse stated that he lodged in the house of Metcalf, and about a month ago he received 701. for wages at Somerset House, which he deposited in his trunk. He af terwards took 351. out. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody stated that on searching him he discovered only ls. and a knife. Qn taking him to Metcalf, the prisoner said something to him, upon which Metcalf said he had made it all right, and if the witness would say nothing about it he would give him a sovereign. Witness said he would do no such thing fcr a 100 sovereigns. The landlord of the Angel and Crown, Wenclose-square, stated, that on the evening of the robbery the prisoner came to him, and requested him to take care of 141. which he 'gave him. Witness took the number of the notes and marked the sovereigns, which he now produced. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN, in summing up, said that, al though the prisoner was capitally indicted, yet as no proof had been given of the house being broken into in the night, the capital charge must fall to the ground. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing to the amount of 51. in a dwelling-house. NEW COURT. The Learned Sergeant, on taking his seat this morning, complained that the names of several of the prisoners were not inserted in the Calendar before him. ..• Tho officer explained that a t the time the Calendar was prepared, there were only 224 prisoners in custody, and since then the number had been increased to 265.. A new Calendar would be printed in the course of the day. The Common Sergeant expressed himself satisfied. Lewis Welford, 49, a respectable-looking man, was in dicted for stealing three pounds of green metal, value 55., the property of Messrs. Braithwaite, the engineers. The prisoner, who was in the employment of the prose cutors, was seen to take the metal in the middle of the day by Mr. Braithwaite. Several of the workmen also saw him, He received 335. par week wages. Mr. C. Pittr.,Lips, under the now Act, addressed the Jury for the prisoner, He observed there was no doubt that the Legislature, in giving prisoners the benefit of Counsel, was actuated by a belief that many persons had been unjustly convicted, and this view of the matter was confirmed by the fact that Counsel were not authorized or directed to up— pear for the prosecution, but for the defence. From the in— struetions he (Mr. Phiilips) had received, it appeared that. the prisoner was possessed of a good deal of ingenuity, and was about to proceed to Constantinople at a salary of 3501. per annum, to superintend somo scientific ex periments in progress there, He made no secret of having taken the metal, as his object was to make some experi ments for the benefit of his employers. If this statement was true it could not be considered a case of felony, and if any doubt remained upon their minds they would, of course, give the prisoner the benefit of it. The ColcMoN SERGEANT called Mr. Braithwaite, who deposed that the prisoner denied havin g taken the metal. YHILLIPS complained of the hardsh i p and inconve nience;s4 o f witnesses and new facts being go ne into, af ter Counsel f or I:.`s." prisoner prisoner had concluded his sta tement. The COM MON SEI FA NT having consulted with Mr. Sergeant Ar a bi n , w h o lieu j u st entered, observed, that it was competent f or a J u dge to ask tv‘c question he thought proper, after the case for the prosecution had closed. lie admitted, however, that he should have asked the queaon before the Learned Counsel had commenced his address. Mr. PHILLIPS again addressed the Jury for the prisoner. The COMMON SERGEANT, in summing up, expressed hope that the very unpleasant duty of conducting prosecu tions would no longer devolve upon the Judges. As pri soners charged with felony had now the benefit of Counsel, he trusted that a public prosecutor would be appointed, the more effectually to protect the interests of the public. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly re corninended the prisoner to mercy. .Robert Osborn e, 50, was indicted for embezzling the su ms of 2/. 12 s. 9d., 21. Bs. l I d. , and 4 / , Is, 21, the pro perty of his employer, William Terry. The prosecutor is a wholesale and retail grocer, carrying on business at High-street, Bloomsbury, and Queen -street, Soho, and the prisoner was employed to collect accounts.

Ekazei. and Frances Lctscelles . .sere indicted for stealing. two pillows, a set of fire-irons, ar.d other articles, the pro perty of William Perry, of Oalr',ey-street, Lambeth. Police constable L i 162 was sent for to the house of the prosecutor 04 . ‘"ne Sd October, where the prisoners lodged. He 6 6't taw the female, who said at once that she had pledged the property. The man was in a room on the ground floor ; he said, whatever of the things were pledged was done by his order. He searched the prisoners, and found eight duplicates upon the female. Cross-examined by Mr. DuNean.—The woman told him she had pledged the property without his saying a word to her, nor did he ask what property she meant. There were evident marks of poverty and distress about their lodgings. Mrs. Perry said the prisoners lodged in her house for a year up till the day in question. On the Saturday before the :).(-1 October, the woman went out for some money which she went for weekly. She locked the old man in the back parlour. As she did not return till the Monday, they were obliged to give him his meals on the Sunday through a window, When she was doing so she thought the room looked very bare. On the Monday when Mrs. Lascelles returned, witness followed her into the room, and found it stripped of two pillows and cases, blankets, fire-irons, a candlestick, and other articles. She sent for a constable, who found the duplicates upon the female prisoner. The property was produced, and identified by Mrs. Perry. A pawnbroker proved that the property was pawned by the female prison;, In his eross•examination, he said the prisoner was very frequently in the habit of pawning and redeeming articles such as those in question ; so that she might pawn the ar ticles when short of money, and redeem them when she had. Mr. DUNBAR submitted to the Court that this was a mere case of illegal pawning, and that the facts would not bear out the indictment for larceny. The COURT said they were bound to leave the case in the hands of the Jury. The Learned COUNSEL then addressed the Jury for the defence. He argued that had the prisoners intended to steal the property, they would have gone to some place where they would have got more for it than they could get at a pawnbroker's shop. Besides, there was no evidence whatever against the old man, and the woman ought to have been punished under the Illegal Pawning Act. The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence and said it was the peculiar province of the Jury to say whether the case was merely one of illegally pawning, or if it did not go a little farther, and amount to a larceny. If the law was as it was laid down by the Learned Counsel, no man's pro perty would be safe, for a servant. would merely have to say he intended to return any property he took away when he got more money, and so put the law at defiance. The Jury consulted together for ten minutes and then returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, but re commended the man to mercy on account of his age. The prosecutor also begged to recommend the prisoners ,o mercy. Sentence—Three months imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING. -(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, OCT. 25.—Wind W. N.

The accounts received this morning by the Mediterranean mail from Gibraltar, Cadiz, and Malaga, do not confirm the statement of a battle having taken place between Gomez and the Queen's troops under General Alaix. As was re ported from Madrid, Gomez appears to be playing a game of chess, advancing and retreating according to circum stances. Finding that he could not take Malaga by a coup de main, he retreated to the mountains of Murcia, no doubt to place his spoils in some sort of security.

Whoever expect. to meet in these volumes with tales and descriptive essays, such as abound in those admirable works of fiction, the " Sketch Book," and " Braccbridgc Hall," will be disappointed - ; for " As is no work of fancy, no " gay coinage of the brain," but a record of real life, a history of the perils and adventures, encountered by the early foun ders—under the patronage and active superintendence of Mr. Astor, from whom the book derives its name— of the American Fur Companies, in their attempts to ona loet's establish depots and settlements in those wild, inhos pitable, and savage regions which lie beyond the Rocky Mountains, and stretch away to the Pacific. The materials for the work were supplied by the journals and letters of many who were engaged in these lazardous enterprizes ; and Mr. Washington Irving's :ask has been to softe❑ down the crudenesses of these journals, condense and arrange the various information contained in them ; and so polish and improve the style as to render it generally readable. In this task, an ungracious one at the best, the editor has been very successful. He has presented us with an in telligent, and perspicuous narrative of the expeditions of the adventurous Fur Traders to Santa Fe, and the Columbia, abounding in lively and minute touches o savage life, and sketches of nearly equally savage back-woods character, all pourtrayed in that graphic and picturesque manner for which Mr. Washington Irving has ever been so remarkable. As far as regards what is called interesting reading, we know not that this gentleman has ever yet penned a work which is likely to be more generally popular. Here we have accounts of extraordinary natural phenomena, met with among that, till lately, untravelled district—the Rocky Mountains ; of voyages in canoes down thundering cataracts ; of surprises by savage chiefs ; of the domes tic manners of the Red Indians ; of nights passed in vast deserts, under the sole canopy of heaven : and, in short, of all those strange novelties and start ling reverses, which those must make up their mind to encounter, who pursue a course of travel among countries where the footsteps of civilization have never yet trod. The adventures, in particular, of Mr. Hunt and his party, on their way to the banks of the Co lumbia, which occupy the largest portion of the second volume, are full of the most romantic vicissi tudes ; in short, as interesting in their;way as Robinson Crusoe, and for the same reason. We subjoin an ex tract, taken at random, from this animated record of difficulties and dangers At the time we are treating of, the grizzly bear was still frequent on the Missouri, and in the lower country, but, like some of the broken tribes of the priaries, he has gradually fallen back before his enemies and is now chiefly to be found in the upland regions, in rugged fastnesses like those of the Black hills and the Rocky mountains. Here he lurks in caverns, or holes which he has digged in the sides of hills, or under the roots and trunks of fallen trees. Like the common bear he is fond of fruits, and mast, and roots, the latter of which he will dig up with his fore claws. He is carnivorous also, and will even attack and conquer the lordly buffalo, dragging his huge carcass to the neighbourhood of his den, that he may prey upon it at his leisure. " The hunters, both white and red men, consider this the most heroic game. They prefer to hunt him on horse back, and will venture so near as sometimes to singe his hair with the flash of the rifle. The hunter of the grizzly bear, however, must be an experienced hand, and know where to aim at a vital part ; for of all quadrupeds he is the most difficult to be killed. He will receive repeated wounds without flinching, and rarely is a shot mortal unless through the head or heart. " That the dangers apprehended from the grizzly bear, at this night encampment, were not imaginary, was proved on the following morning. Among the hired men of the party was one William Cannon, who had been a soldier at one of the frontier posts, and entered into the employ of Mr. Hunt at Mackinaw. He was an inexperienced hunter and a poor shot, for which he was much bantered by his more adroit comrades. Piqued at their raillery, be had been practising ever since he had joined the expedi tion, but without success. In the course of the present afternoon he went forth by himself to take a lesson in venerie, and, to his great delight, had the good fortune to kill a buffalo. As he was a considerable distance from the camp, he cut out the tongue and some of the choice bits, made them into a parcel, and, slinging them on his shoulders by a strap passed round his forehead, as the voy ageurs carry packages of goods, set out all glorious for the camp, anticipating a triumph over his brother hunters. In passing, through a narrow ravine, he heard a noise behind him, and looking round beheld, to his dismay, a grizzly bear in full pursuit, apparently attracted by the scent of the meat. Cannon had heard so much of the invulnerability of this tremendous animal that he never attempted to fire, but, slipping the strap from his forehead, let go the buffalo meat and ran for his life. The bear did not stop to regale himself with the game, but kept on after the hunter. H a had nearly overtaken him when Cannon reached a tree, and, throwing down his rifle, scrambled up it. ~The next instant Bruin was at the foot of the tree ; but, as this species of bear does not climb, he contented himself with turning the chase into a blockade. Night came on. In the darkness Cannon could not perceive whether or not the enemy maintained his station ; but his fears pictured him rigorously mounting guard. He passed the night, there fore, in the tree, a prey to dismal fancies. In the morning the bear was gone. Cannon wearily descended the tree, gathered up his gun, and made the best of his way hack to the camp, without venturing to look after his buffalo meat. " While on this theme we will add another anecdote of an adventure with a grizzly bear, told of John Day, the Kentucky hunter., but which happened at a different pe riod of the expedition. Day was hunting in company with one of the clerks of the Company, a lively youngster, who was a great favourite with the veteran, but whose vivacity he had continually to keep in check. They weft in search of deer, when suddenly a huge grizzly boar emerged faun a thicket about thirty yards distant, rearing himself upon his bind legs with a terrific growl, and displaying a hideous array of teeth and claws. The rifle of the young man was levelled in an instant, but John Day's iron hand was quickly upon his arm. Be quiet, boy !be quiet !' exclaimed the hunter, between his clenched teeth, and without turning his eyes from the bear. They remained motionless. The monster regarded them for a time, then, lowering himself his fore paws, slowly withdrew. Ho had not gone many paces before he again turned, reared himself on his hind legs, and repeated his menace. Day's hand was still on the arm of his young companion, he again pressed it hard, and kept repeating between his teeth, Quiet, boy l—keep quiet !—keep quiet !'—though the latter had not made a move since his first prohibition. The boar again lowered himself on all fours, retreated some twenty yards further, and again turned, reared, showed his teeth, and growled. This third menace was too much for the game 'spirit of John Day. By Jove!' exclaimed he, I can stand this no longer; and in an instant a ball from his rifle whizzed into the foe. The wound was not mortal ; but, luckily, it dis mayed instead of enraging the animal, and he retreated into the thicket. " Day's young companion reproached him for not prac tising the caution which he enjoined upon ethers. Why, boy,' replied the veteran, caution is caution, but one must not put up with too much even from a bear. Would you have me suffer myself to be bullied all day by a varmint ?' " FINE ARTS.
