It appears also that similar notices had been served on several farmers in the same county. But horrible facts like these do not rest merely on newspaper reports, they are vouched for by the resident noblemen and gentlemen of the county, and representations of the strongest character have accordingly been made to the Irish Government on the subject. Finding that the LORD - LIEUTENANT can render them little additional protection, without he is empowered by Act of Parliament to adopt some more coercive system than that allowed by law, the magistrates of the North Riding of Tipperary, at a meeting of which Lord DUNALLY was chairman, have issued an address to the British public, which paints in the most vivid colours the deplorable state of that country. "From August, 1844, to February, 1845," they state, " there occurred in this riding 16 murders, 16 attempted murders, and 52 cases of firing into houses, robberies of farms, grievous assaults, and threatening notices." They complain to the English public that they are without protection, that they have forwarded to succeeding Governments representations and recommendations oil the subject, and answers received led them to the conclusion that the Government considered measures of coercion for Ireland could not be proposed to Parliament with any chance of success. We are and always have been opposed to any system of coercion till every legitimate means of pre serving life and property had failed, because such partial enactments are most invidious, and generally impose grievous hardships and sufferings on the industrious and innocent part of the population. Besides, they have rarely or never effected a radical cure ; the disease at periods returns with renewed vigour, and the law less depredators and murderers recur with impunity to their dark deeds of cruelty. The whole system of government in Ireland is out of joint; law is neither respected nor feared; and till the magistrates, Catholic clergy, and all the well-disposed portion of the com munity, combine together for mutual protection and the discovery of the criminals, we can hardly see any per manent cure that Government or Parliament can effect. In this respect the magistrates of Tipperary have set a good example; they have endeavoured to make the English people acquainted with their desperate condi tion, and have braved the bullets of the assassins in re commending means for the punishment of their erimes. But why is a labour so imperative left only to the laity, and to only a very small number of them? The Catholic clergy are not afraid to come forward ; they brave the terrors of death in visiting the huts of those afflicted with fatal and contagious dis tempers; they spare no labour in rendering comfort to the sick and the dying, and no class of men devote themselves more willingly to their religious duties. But these are only a portion of their labours, and by no means the most important, when such awful visi tations afflict their country—when life and property are totally unprotected, and a system is in full operation which must loosen the bonds of society, drive capital from Ireland, and obstruct the very means yet devised (we mean the construction of railroads) for furnishing employment, and disseminating the blessings of civilisation among a half-barbarous race. Why do they not assemble and threaten, as they are bound by the precepts of Scripture, with the ..punishment of Heaven all those who commit such a flagrant reich‘ of the commandment, " Thon shalt not commit murder: , Their injunctions and denunciations would have the best effect, and would contribute infinitely mere to the abatement of crime than Coercion Bills, and prisons, and gibbets. It appears that there is a most culpable apathy displayed on their part in such dangerous times, and that they cannot remain longer silent without incurring the most awful re , sponsibility. We here subjoin the :measures recom mended by the Tipperary magistrates to the attention of the British public : " First, that a modified insurrection Act be placed on the statute-book, to be resorted to by Government only in case of any particular barony of a county, which shall appear to the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council to require the same ; and secondly, the creation of a law imposing a fine on any district where a murder, or attempt to murder, shall have occurred, the proceeds to be paid over to the family of the injured party. The insurrection Act to which we refer would empower the authorities to enter all houses by night. Per sons absent from their homes, or strangers discovered in houses not their usual places of residence, would be obliged to account for themselves, and, failing to do so satisfactorily, might be brought before a military tribunal or a special com mission, and subjected to severe punishment. Such a mea sure would at least afford security during the night to the houses of the humbler classes, who might then be induced with less reluctance to come forward as witnesses in a court of justice. The bad characters, most ofwhom are well known to the police, would soon .be expelled from the country, and detection would be more likely to follow the commission of the crime of murder, inasmuch as the perpetrators of such acts are usually strangers who come from a distance." returns being increased 11. Os. Bd. the acre, while the ex penses are only increased ss. 4d. " This kind of farming, therefore, enjoys a clear pro tection of 15 4d. the acre; and as the rent of =nch land does not exceed 20s. or 255., three-fourths or three-fifths of it may be said to be made up of protecting duties. " On the other hand, when the same land is broken up, yielding grain and forage crops alternately, employing more capital and more labourers, at wages which enable them to live as well as the few who, under the former state of husbandry, were boarded in the farm-house, the cost of production becomes raised by protecting duties niece than the value of the returns by Bs. 7d. the acre. " It is evident, therefore, that even supposing the protecting duties on food to be repaid in wages,. they injure the agricultural labourers by diminishing the demand for their labour, and consequently depressing the value of it." We are glad to see the effect of the corn-laws on the cost of cultivation brought so ably under review by a practical agriculturist. Cheapness of production has been found the best source of profit in every branch of industry, and it would long since have been applied to agriculture as well as to other branches of production, had not farmers been duped into the belief that high prices are coincident with large profits. Farmers are too apt to forget that they, their families, and their la bourers, are consumers as well as producers, and that every addition made to the cost of their consumption is an equal addition to the outlay requisite for repro duction, a cost which must be defrayed before they can begin to estimate profit. When they cannot buy cheap corn they must purchase dear manures, they must pay higher rates of wages, or they must pay higher poor-rates to atone for the inadequacy of wages. They must also live in constant insecurity, and see capital pre vented from flowing into their business from the want of confidence in farming pursuits. It is because the corn•- laws compel the farmers to produce a diminished quantity at an increased cost, that "protection" has been justly stigmatised as " the bane of agriculture." The general demand for the abolition of restrictions on the importation of food which has been raised by the principal manufacturing towns in the empire within the last fortnight, has been witnessed with apathy by the great body of English farmers. They have raised no antago nistic cry for the continuance of protection—they have not shown any anxiety for the retention of the corn laws—they have held no meetings, and framed no peti tions. This abandonment of a cause for which they were recently ready to make large sacrifices, arises from two causes : the agriculturists are convinced that their prosperity is identified with that of the manufacturers, that distress in Lancashire is inconsistent with pros perity in Lincolnshire, and that the fall of profits on cotton takes away customers from the growers of corn. A second, and more important cause, of this change in the " agricultural mind " is, that the farmers are beginning to discover that the system of agricultural protection is a system of mutual plunder, under which the growers of the different descriptions of agricultural produce mutually rob one another ; and that it besides creates an uncertainty which prevents the application of capital to the improvement of the productive powers of the soil. This view of the question is very ably main tained in a pamphlet just published by two sminent practical agriculturists, Mr. MORTON and Mr. TRIMMER —the former already favourably known as the author of the best treatise on the nature of soils which we possess in our language. Estimating the average cost of pro tection at ss. 6d. per quarter, he proceeds, first, to calcu late the effect of this enhanced price on the farmer of 400 acres of land in East Norfolk. Such a farmer sells no protected article produced by himself except wheat and barley. Now, it is clear that he must either repay his labourers the amount of the protecting duty which they pay on their articles of consumption in the shape of increased wages, or that the system robs the labourers to that amount. Having examined all the details of ex penditure, with a minuteness which it is not necessary to follow, Mr. MORTON arrives at the following con elusion:— "Amount paid by the cultivator of 400 acres of light land in East Norfolk, in the shape of protecting duties on agri cultural produce consumed by himself, his labourers, and cattle : and first for seed, as we have allowed the protective duties on the gross produce of the farm without deducting the seed, we must here charge the same duties on the corn sown:— Seed Corn.

The elections for supplying the vacancies caused by late appointments had commenced, and caused some excite ment, as a hope seemed to exist that the Opposition had displayed more vigour, and that several candidates of that party would be returned. The election for Barce lona began on the 23d,- when three candidates on each side were proposed, and at the close of the first day's poll all the Opposition candidates had a majority. The city remained perfectly tranquil. At Cadiz the Govern ment candidate had been returned by a considerable majority. On the 24th the Three per Cents. closed at 36 for GO days. No other stock was quoted. The chief articles in the Paris papers relate principally to the operationsiagainst Buenos Ayres, the late decision of the Court of Cessation, so destructive to the influence and independence of the press, and the Oregon question. We, however, find little new ; but what is new is of an agreeable character. The Sikle, with a degree of im partiality at last, which does honour to that journal, places the Oregon question in a fair light, very different indeed from that in which it is viewed by TYLER and POLK. " The question," it says, "is no longer entire. America has recognised the rights of England, and England ha; recognised the rights of the United States. The whole world has been witness to these reciprocal engagements. Neither of the powers has new a right toi withdraw from them. , ~ , L et, them, then, negotiate be tween themselves an amicable division, or let them both submit to arbitration. For the one of the two who first draws the sword, and who thus will set at nought a half century of diplomatic arrangements, without reckoning the perils which it will create, will draw upon it self the blame of civilised nations." The National, of Friday, stated that M. GUIZOT was in a very indifferent state of health, and that the duties of his office pressed heavily upon him. It appears, how ever, that the Minister is as vigorous and active as ever, and officiated publicly, and in good health, at the cere mony of laying the first stone of the hotel for the Mi nistry of Foreign Affairs, which took place on Satur day. M. GUIZOT, who was assisted by M. DUMON, in a suitable speech addressed the assembly, and congratu lated them that another monument was about to be added to those which had already rendered Paris so ce lebrated among the capitals of Europe. The site is near the Chamber of Deputies, and the building will be com pleted in four years. It appear: from the following article in the Govern ment paper, the Epoque, that the defections from the Anglican Church.pcite the liveliest hopes among the Catholics of France, and that devout prayers have been ordered by the Archbishop of PARIS for success in such a holy cause : " Monsieur Wiseman, Bishop of Melipotama, in partibus, and co-adjutor to the apostolic vicar of the central district of England, has just addressed a letter to the Bishops of France, in which he expresses the hopes which the feeling now mani fested in England gives rise to. According to Monsieur Wiseman, the conversions to Catholicism on the other side of the Straits are not only becoming numerous and more bril liant,but the old prejudices are disappearing, and more people than ever are intent on the return to unity and anxious fur it. The Catholics of England have learnt with gratitude th e sympathy with which their Continental brethren watch their progress; Monsieur Wiseman demands that the Catho lics of France will continue to join in their prayers, and soli • tits of the Archbishop of Paris a grand manifestation in behalf of the English Church. The reply has not been long awaited; the Archbishop of Paris has addressed a letter to his clergy, wherein he urges the priests of his diocese, who may have dus devotion, to offer up at once at least the holy sacrifice, and all pious souls to take the communion once or several times for this pious purpose." Some - of the papers state that the Minister of Finance intends to present to the Chamber a Bill for the better regulation of business transacted in the stock and share market.

The man who was suspected of having set fire to the premises of Mr. John Cane, of Colnbrook, in revenge for not being allowed to sleep in the barn, was yesterday ex amined before the magistrates at Feltham, and no satis factory evidence having been brought against him, he was discharged. IMPORTANT TO APPRENTICES.—Esther Blythe, a married woman from Bolted, complained to the Bench, at Colchester, of the conduct of her apprentice, Jane Holmes, who had been bound to her by indenture, to learn the trade of a milliner and dress-maker, at a premium of 101., which had been paid by the lady of Sir Joshua Rowley, Bart. Owing to the disobedient conduct of the defendant, com plainant wished to have the indenture cancelled. On the indenture being produced, it turned out that the defendant was bound to complainant, and not her hus band, which rendered it an invalid instrument, and took the case entirely out of the jurisdiction of the Bench, as no mar ried woman could legally enter into such a contract. The defendant, therefore, should have been bound to the husband to have made the indenture valid. The Bench recommended the complainnt to return half the premium to defendant, and separate altogether, as there appeared to be no chance of their living together on friendly terms. Complainant ob jected to these terms ; but, on being told that her hustand would in all probability be sued for the whole of the pre mium, she offered to return 4/., which was agreed to.—Essex Herald. FRIGHTFUL A CCIDENT.—Two HORSES KILLED.-- On Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, as Mr. John Lewis, of Mahlon, horse-dealer, was on his way on horseback from TilbUry Fort to Brentwood, a man riding a second horse belonging to him by his side, when near the Cock at Orsett they were overtoken by Mr. Wm. Stephens,farmer,ofßulphan Fen, who was riding at a furious pace, and the horse, over which it was evident he had no control, came in contact with that upon which Mr. Lewis's man was mounted. Such was the violence of the collision that the man was thrown from his scat, but fortunately he escaped unhurt. Mr. Stephens was also precipitated to the ground, and his horse rolled over him. Ire was taken into Barrington's farm, and Inspector Smith, of the police force, who was near the spot, with the greatest promptitude obtained the assistance of Mr. Corbett, surgeon, when it was found that Mr. Stephens was much injured upon the hip, and greatly bruised. The poor animals fell a sacrifice to the casualty, the one rode by Mr. Lewis's man expiring from the effects of the shock in about five minutes; and Mr. Stephens's being so much injured that its sufferings were necessarily put an end to with the knife half an hour after the occurrence. The latter, it ap pears, from some cause took fright at Chadwell, near Grays, from which time Mr. S. lost all•powcr over him, the animal, we are informed, actually clearing by a leap a donkey and cart, which wore upon the road. Air. Lewis's horse is said to have been worth about 121., Mr. Stephens's 251.—Essex The daily accounts from Ireland of the horrid system of :assassination so prevalent in some districts of that unfortunate country, are of the most alarming character. No man considers his life secure from the murderer's bullet; the very peasants, who are witnesses in open day of deliberate assassinations, and who might be inclined to give evidence against the perpetrators of such atro cious crimes, are afraid to come forward from a well grounded dread of being subjected to the same fate. The Limerick Chronicle, of Saturday, says, " No rank or sta ticu, from the humble cottier to the noble peer, is safe from outrage.

HONE aTrd COMIVIERUIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, the staple being freely offered. Sales 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were more lively, and better prices were generally ob tained. A correspondent has circulated some suggestions relative to potatoes, from which we take the following extracts : " With respect to soil," he says, "the potato delights in that which is moderately light and porous, which points out the necessity of draining all heavy and wet lands, if they are expected to grow potatoes. In the next place, the potato requires a frequent change of soil, and on this account heavy crops are usually produced on newly broken up lands. In kitchen gardens, and cottage allotments, Where the root is grown year after year on the same spot, this necessity is in some measure provided for by the large quantity of fresh manure which is commonly used. Extremely favourable seasons will counteract to a great extent the disadvantages of the soil, but no man has a right to expect a large and healthy crop who plants his seed in land exhausted by fre quent cropping, which has not been well worked by the spade or plough, or which is retentive of cold and excess of moisture." Upon the subject of seed the same party tell us, when re ferring to one of the most common practices, that " it ought to be whole. The practice of cutting potatoes into pieces for seed, leaving one or two eyes in a piece, cannot be too strongly deprecated. The result of repeated experiments has unanswerably proved that the plan has nothing to recommend it, but a penny wise and pound foolish eco nomy. It is true, that every eye possesses the germ of a perfect plant, the same as the eye of a Dahlia; but every cultivator of this flower knows, that although he may get a well-formed plant, and handsome flowers, from a single eye, or the cutting of a Dahlia, he only gets a good crop of roots from a perfect tuber." Ile further observes that it ought to be in a state of ma turity, of medium size, and well formed, it having been found that potatoes of the size of hen's eggs have produced the heaviest crop out of a given weight of seed, the writer even giving the preference to sets much smaller, if ripe, whole, and well formed, to pieces cut from large potatoes. • The potato should likewise be frequently raised direct from the seed contained in the potato apple, and the seed ought to be well preserved, as the best seed may be injured by bad management.

But he has to pay for protection 541. in the shape of increased rent, and at least 401. in increased household expenses, so that instead of a gain we find a positive loss of 761. 15s. sd. But this is not all ; if the price of grain were sufficiently low to allow of his feeding sheep and cattle on oats, &c., the manure produced by such stock would be more beneficial than the bones, rape cake, or guano, which could be purchased for 2001. ; so that if he sold his sheep and oxen when fatted at their prime cost, he would still save the 2001. which he is now obliged to expend in the purchase of artificial manures, because the high price of grain will not now allow of his feeding stock. A similar estimate gives the loss on farming 1,000 acres in Lincolnshire, at a rate of something more than 2/. per acre. In fact, the only persons that appear to de rive any gain from protection are the dairy farmers, and their gains would be converted into losses if they turned any part of their pastures into arable land. On this it is justly remark e d,— " We are often t o ld th a t th e o bj ec t o f th e p ro t ec ti ve system is not to keep up rents, but to benefit the agricultural labourers, by preventing millions of acres of arable land being thrown out of cultivation, which means being con verted to pasture. The re su l t of calculations shows the effect of the protective system t o b e the very reverse of this, na mely, to discourage the conversion of pasture into a.able land. 'They show that the syst em of farming, of which the Glouces t er shire dairy-farm is the representative —a systein under which the tenant merely collects the natural produce of the soil with the em p lo y ment of as little labour as pos- ' sible, is that in which the greatest excess of returns over ex penditure arises from the protective system, the value of the COLONIAL.

SOLLEY. This was an action of debt for work and labour done, aml money paid and laid out to the use of the defendant, to , which the defendant had pleaded that, except as to 10i . 10s., he never was indebted, and that sum he paid into Co art. The plaintiff replied that he was indebted in a larger amount, and upon that replication issue was joined. *Mr. Crowder and Mr. Petersdorf appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Smith for the defendant. Mr. CROWDER stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff s !its an auctioneer and house-agent, carrying on business i a Grosvenor-street, and the defendant was a gentleman of property, who in the beginning of this year married Lady ',Sykes, the widow of the late Sir Francis Sykes. The action was brought to recover 331. 45., for business transacted by the plaintiff in respect of a house which was the property cf Lady Sykes, and which she was desirous of disposing of. The jury were no doubt acquainted with the ordinary busi ness of an auctioneer and estate-agent. It was to find a customer for a seller, and a seller for a purchaser. Lady Sykes was the lessee of the house No. 6, Grosvenor-street, and early in February last she applied to the plaintiff, ac companied by her husband, Mr. Solley, to let it for her fur nished. The plaintiff undertook to use his best endeavours to do so, and sent two of his men to take an inventory of the furniture, inserted an advertisement in the newspapers, and, in fact, took all the ordinary steps for letting the house. In March, the house not having been let owing to the terms being too high, Lady Sykes took it into her head to let the house unfurnished, but the terms she demanded being still exorbitant, the plaintiff was unable to let the house. Lady Sykes then determined upon selling the lease, and the plaintiff took the usual steps to dispose of it; but in the month of June the plaintiff suddenly received a letter from Lady Sykes, to the effect that she had commissioned Mr. Phillips to sell the lease of her house on the 20th of Jane, unless it was previously disposed of by private contract. The price asked for the lease was 4501., but the highest offer the plaintiff had succeeded in getting for it when he received this note was 3001., which was made by Mr. Vaughan, a builder. The plaintiff sent this gentleman to Mr. Phillips' sale, and he ultimately became the purchaser of the lease. The plaintiff therefore claimed his commission on the sale, Mr. Vaughan having obtained the information of the lease in the first instance from his offices; but the defendant refused to pay it, and the result was the present action. Evidence having been adduced to prove the business done, and the reasonableness of the prices charged for it, Mr. V. VILLIAMS addressed the jury for the defendant, contending that the ten guineas which had been paid into Court was an ample remuneration for the trouble the plaintiff had been put to. The plaintiff did not dispose of the lease, because it was taken out of his hands before he could do so, nor did he give Mr. Vaughan the first information that it was to be disposed of. All that he did was to tell ' Mr. Vaughan tha terms, and Mr. Vaughan afterwards at tended a sale, which was announced by public hand-bills and advertisements, where he bid the highest sum, and the lease was knocked down to him in the usual form. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, remarked that t here was no evidence to show that the lease had been dis ts used of through the instrumentality of the plaintiff ; on the ~t, eitrary, it was admitted that before he could dispose of it a ir an estate-agent, it was taken out of his hands, and in law the refore, he was not entitled to recover commission on the I he jury appeared to differ with his Lordship, and wished to ze•turn a verdict for the plaintiff. The Loi) CIIIEF BanoN said the jury would forgive him for • telling them that there was no evidence upon which they co aid ,find a verdict for the plaintiff beyond 101. 103., the an 3ount paid into Court. The jury under these circumstances found a verdict for the de Pendant. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) • (Satings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice CRESSIVELL and a Special Jury.) CLARK V. DUNSFORD. 'This was an action for crim. con., which occupied the Co urt the whole day, and in which the case for the plaintiff wa 6 not concluded when we went to press. COURT OF RE VIEW-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) MtBOIJIN V. ItEAY.I TI to plaintiff appeared on petition, praying to be allowed to pro vt against the separate estate of John Reay, sen. Goods wer a sold and delivered to John Reay, sen., and Co., and the usua T. contract for the debt was framed in the name of that firm ; but it turns out after bankruptcy that the only other nomil uftl partner is John Robert Reay, nephew to the other, whose Linterest in the concern, if interest it might be called, anfoun.',, A only to this, that the nephew, previously clerk and salesma tl, received, in consequence of a promise by the, uncle to take him . into the business, a contract to the effect that he should receive a xed amount out of the profits of the business, besides cer tain allo games for expenses, the nephew continuing town sa lesman, .and being unaffected by the debts or profits of the company. It was, therefore, contended on the part of the petitioner, that he had a right, by all the case 9 in the books, to prove ag. tinst the separate estate of the elder Reay. The rase excik d very great interest among the gentlemen of the bar. When arguments were heard, his HoNoun felt it was a case of difficulty as well as importance, and on all the cases cited, he could not decide that John Reay, sen. is separately indebted, feelint ; he could do no more than give an opportu nity of bringing an action at law. It was finally V.rranged that the bankrupts should bring an action, that there• should be a plea of abatement on the part of the creditor, Mr..., t.rbouin, and that one or both of the bank rupts 'nigh't be ex..am ineti as witnesses. BANKRUPPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) .(Before Mr. Cotnmissioner SHEPHERD. ) IN R I YEOMAN. In this c ase the insolvent was opposed on the ground that he had not . inserted the whole of his debts in the schedule. The insolvt !nt admitted that from one of his creditors he had received gyods to the value of 201. more than he had put down, ha vii ig given a bill of exchange for the amount. The So ucrron contended that the giving the bill did not relieve ins olvent from the debt—he was either debtor for the goods or tl to 1.411. Mr. 'lnc utt...;, for the insolvent, urged that the acceptance of a bill wt is a discharge of the debt, although subsequently the debtor migiit become liable on the bill if it was dis honoured. It was precisely the same as paying a bank bill or note:— say of a country bank—which was clearly re ceived in nafasfantion of the debt at the time, and if it was kept by for some :ime, and then the bank broke, the debtors were neither liable 170 r blameable. In this case he insolvent had endorsed the bill, but, supposing the rules as to present ment and no tice were not followed out, he would be dis charged from his responsibility. The opposin g SOLICITOR said that, however the nature of the liability was • changed from the goods to the bill, yet it was clear that the . Act contemplated that the full amount of the debts and ities might be inserted ; if, on the contrary, the mere giving a 1. ,ill would reduce the debt, any friendly cre ditor might. reveive a bill, and so reduce the amount of a trader's debts from a large amount to below the 3001. He also urged that in bankruptcy creditors might prove on undue bill s and colloteral securities. The I ,earned ColibussioNEß said, that in that case they were ea' rrying out spocific directions. In cases of insolvency, Like the present, the Act did not require that liabilities should be ente red, it distinctly inentionea "debts." It was clear that at the utmost there was only a contingent liability, who was to say that the bill would not be honoured ? Under the circum stances, he had no hesitation in saying that there was no deb t, and that in this instance tLe schedule was correct. This objection, the first of the kind raised, was overruled.
