DUBLIN, SEPT. 2.—The weekly meeting of the Re peal Association was held to-day in the Conciliation Hall, which presented a crowded appearance. Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., M.P., for Mayo, discharged the duties of leader with great ability, in the absence of John Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P., and Henry Grattan, Esq., M.P. for Wicklow. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who was greeted with loud and rapturous applause on taking his seat next to Mr. O'Connell's chair, moved that James O'Hea, Esq., barrister-at-law, and one of the junior counsel for the traversers in the Irish State trials, do preside. The Learned CHAIRMAN called the attention of the meeting to the fact, that since the incarceration of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-martyrs, the chair had been in variably filled by Members of Parliament—men of rank and station ; but the Committee had, on the present oc• casion, deviated from the principles which regulated the selection of chairman, and selected so humble an in dividual as himself to hold that high and important position, for the purpose of showing to the lowliest mem bers of the Association that the highest honours which the Association could bestow were as open to them as to their superiors in rank and wealth. Mr. O'Hea then alluded to the fact, that while they (the Repeal ers) were holding their great national weekly as sembly on that day, the House of Lords were pro nouncing judgment on the writ of error in the great State cause of the Queen v. O'Connell. He was perfectly aware that if that legal decision should be ad verse to the Repeal meetings, it would be turned to an improper and unjustifiable use. The Premier of Eng land had said, in his place in Parliament, that Mr. O'Connell and his compatriots had had a fair trial— (Loud cries of " NO, no")—and if the decision of the English Judges and Law Lords on the record proved un favourable to the men who were suffering incarceration for their country, he had no doubt on his mind but that the Tory press and the Tory speakers would assert that such decision was corroborative testimony that the pri soners were fairly and impartially tried. The Chairman then argued at great length and with considerable ability, that even in deciding adversely to the prisoners the House of Lords would make no pronouncement whatever as to the fairness or unfairness of the Judge's charge to the jury empannelled for Mr. O'Connell's trial. He forewarned the public mind not to be led away by the arguments of the Tory press. They should remember that it was upon the proceedings on the record that the House of Lords was t2.iecide, and not on the merits o f the case.—(Hear.) eWuding to the present state and present prospects of the great national cause, the Chair man said that he saw no reason for despair, much less for despondency, but every reason for cheerfulness. War was impending, arid it seemed unavoidable—it was all but proclaimed. I4kuch an event occurring Sir Robert Peel said he relic upon the loyalty of the Irish people.—(Laughter, and - ironical cheers.) He was right, however, and he might rely that the Irish would be found like a wall of fire,around their Sovereign. But he asked, had the Minister any right to oppress, to har rass the Irish people, and to strain their loyalty too far ? Was it reasonable to expect that they would bear the brunt of the battle, and reap no advantages from the victory ? The Tangiers pepper would perhaps season some agreeable condiment, of which the Irish people would be called upon to partake. It was their (the Repeaters') time to make their own terms. As he before said, it was unwise to press and strain too much upon the well-known and proverbial loyalty of the Irish Ili tia people, more esp ec i a lly as i t h a d ever i n time of war and danger that th e ir r i g ht s h;.rb artly con ceded to them. In conclusion, h e s t a t e d t i the felt sa tisfied in his own mind that the day was not far distant when the mighty shadow of a coming event would be lost in the bright reality of an Irish Parliament. Several contributions from different parts of England and Ireland having been handed in, Mr. R. D. BROWNE rose and stated that he appeared there as the representative of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, from whom he would read a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Association. After the Hon. Gentleman had con cluded reading the letter of Mr. O'Brien, he proceeded to compliment the Chairman upon the speech with which he had opened the day's proceedings. He next dwelt upon foreign affairs—upon the French fleet and army located on the north coast of Africa, and then touched upon the intended visit of her Majesty to Ireland. The first, indeed, deeply affected the interests of Ireland. With respect to the other, there were perspective con siderations as to the demeanour of the Irish people upon that occasion when the eyes of the world would be upon them, but _it sank into insignifance when compared with the former topic. A French fleet was now sweep ing through the Mediterranean. Now, it was a melan choly fact that the political aphorism, " That England's weakness was Ireland's opportunity"—(Loud cheers) — was only too true.—(Renewed cheering.) With one so litary exception, Ireland had never gained a concession except by the arms of France—(Applause)—by the arms of America—(Great cheering)—orby s o me intes tinal tumult. The p resent t i me was the hour of Eng land's weakness.—(“ No, no," an d cr i es o f" H ear , hear.") The Learned Member then proceeded at great length to consider the present state of the Mediterranean, which in his opinion was most perilous to the interests of Eng land. He praised the Prince de Joinville and the French navy. Suppose the armies of England were occupied in the Oregon territory, or in Canada, where the French hubitans sympathise with their European ancestors—or on the heights of Caubul, contending with the stardy Affghans—or in suppressing monster meetings in Ire land —or, what is still more formidable, in stifling the cries of the hungry artisans of England for bread, who are beginning to feel that it is as well to die by the sword as by famine. If .England's army was thus en gaged what was to prevent the Prince de Joinville, who had already seized upon one of the pillars of Hercules, from ascertaining whether Calpe's boasted rock was in deed inaccessible. Whom would England have to sup port her in such a contest ?—(Hear, hear.) Would the Russians tender their assistance ? Would Mehemet Ali feel grateful to England for her past conduct ? Would the Pope coincide with the people of England against Catholic France ?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Would the Sultan join his forces to those of England while an avalanche was in the act of gathering in the North which might roll down and crush the minarets of Constantinople ? The English had applied the term cowards to the gallant navy of France. The noble spirit of Condi leaped into life at the word in the youth ful presence of the Prince de Joinville, who had an swered it with the thunder of his cannons against Tan giers. —(Loud and long-continued applause.) The con duct of England had been marked by weakness and indecision, and reminded him of a story which he had heard of a man who said to an assailant of Isis, " You have called me a rascal and a liar. You have kicked me too, but beware! If you insult me again, you will rouse the Bi itish lion within me."—(Applause and laugh ter.) Now, he came to the royal visit to this country, the people of Ireland were attached to the person of their Sovereign; they would even be ambitious to shed their blood in the defence of the glory of her empire, if justice were done to Ireland.—(Cheers.) They would welcome their Sovereign in their hearts, but he would say, it was an ill-timed visit.—(Hear.) If O'Connell was liberated it would be an ill-timed visit, because he would not, nor would the people of Ireland take it as a boon; injustice had been done them, and they did net come crouching either before a Sovereign or a Minister. —(flear.) But if she came this year, he for one would not shout in her train ; and while O'Connell was in pri son, let it be recollected that Ireland was a house of mourning, and no idle and ostentatious pageant should intrude upon the soil.—(Cheers.) But if she came to Ireland, he trusted she would take advantage of the op portunity and learn the real condition of their country; that she would not take Dublin as what it might appear then for the moment, but that she would inquire and hear of its deserted Custom-house--its deserted Hall of Trade—its deserted shops—ite deserted streets in ordinary circuinstances—(Hear, hear)—the houses of its nobility uninhabited—the houses of its gentry crumbling to ruins—its Exchange a mockery—its Bank a monopoly, and its Castle the rent of their Government—a despotism. —(Hear, hear.) Let her Majesty travel to the interior of the country, and see the almost naked peasant —a hapless, shoeless human being and her subject, the proud Victoria.—(dear, hear.) Let her see its spacious harbours—let her behold its rapid, its liquid streams, capable of turning a great portion of the manufactories of England and floating the armada, rolling on in their majestic course through millions of acres of uncultivated land.—(Hear.) Let her at last contemplate her peace able, intelligent, sober, and loyal people ; and when she went back to her Ministry, let her exclaim, "Ise country so circumstanced to be in such a condition ? Are a people so blessed by Providence to be reduced to such a state of ineffable misery, of dangerous despair ?" Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun., read a communication from a private source in London, bearing date Saturday even ing, and detailing some particulars connected with the consultation of the Judges on the writ of error question, who, it was stated, had assembled on that morning at the residence of Sir N. C. Tindal, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, to consider in private, and interpret the law bearing on the most material points urged in objection on the part of the traversers. Lord and Lady Prudhoe have returned from a tour of the German Spas. THE NEW MINISTRY IN GREECE. ATHENS, AuG. 20, 1844.—The following proclama tion was issued yesterday by our new Ministry : " His Majesty has deigned to honour us with his confidence, in calling us to the direction of the affairs of the State. The circumstances are grave and critical; but, trusting in Providence who has so many times succoured us,—full of confidence in the patriotism of which you have again given new proofs, your love of order and respect for the laws which characterise the Greek people, not less than your disposition to advance peaceably the social state of society—trusting in these, we have accepted the task. " We propose nothing which shall not be avowed ; we announce plainly, and with sincerity, the spirit which shall direct us. We hate exclusiveness. Jus tice and Impartiality !--this is our motto. To exe cute religiously every portion of our valuable Consti tution ;—to apply rigorously our laws ;—to prefer for public offices those who have made sacrifices in the cause of independence, when accompanied by neces sary qualifications ;—to reward the honest, and to punish the guilty ;—to administer the strictest eco nomy which it will be . possible to adopt :—these are what we propose. Having for our support in the accomplishment of this - task the confidence of the• King, and for encouragement your assistance and co-operation ; be assured, fellow-citizens, that with the aid of the MOkt Hi g h, our efforts for the pros perity of the country will be effectual ; and that we shall ever have in view the dearest object of our hearts —the glory and the dominion of the constitutional throne of his Majesty Otho, our beloved monarch.

RESULTS of the BATTLE of ISLY. (From the Semaphore of Marseilles ) "It cost us 21 killed (four of whom were officers) of the Spahis, and 99 wounded. If we were to credit the accounts of the Arabs, the Marshal must have greatly underrated the truth in announcing that the enemy had only 800 killed. More recent intelligence, exaggerated no doubt by the natives, estimates the number of their killed at 3,000. The field of battle was literally strewed with dead bodies, which were on the following day in a state of putrefaction —so much so, that the Marshal, to avoid the pernicious influence of the miasma produced by a heat of 45 degrees (centigrade), deemed it prudent to transfer his camp to the distance of a league —that is, four leagues to the west of Ouchdah. On the 15th he aban doned the Moorish camp, and ascended the Isly as far as Condiat Abderrahman. It was there Colonel Foy left him to embark in the Oronoque at Djemaa Gha zaouat, a small bay, where 500,000 rations for the army were committed to the keeping of the natives„ We captured upwards of 400 metrical qu i n t a l s & gunpowder, cannon balls, grape-shot canisters, mus ket balls in great quantity, upwards of 1,000 horse shoes, and a large supply of flour. A portion of this article was distributed among the soldiers, and the rest sent to the Hospital of Lalla Magrania, by order of the Marshal. We also found a considerable pro vision of excellent tea, which our men now enjoy in the evening, at their bivouack. Upwards of 2,000 tents remained in our power, 300 of which were for warded to the camp of Lalla Magrania. Our soldiers converted the remainder into drawers. The Marshal was to embark on the 2d at Djemaa Ghazaouat, and return to Algiers, visiting on his way all our establish ments on the coast and Orleanville. He is expected at Algiers between the 15th and 20th." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREENWICH AND DOVER RAILWAYS.

The general meeting of the Order took place in Glasgow on Thursday, the Bth August, the Hon. Sir John Campbell, Baronet, in the chair, for the purpose, first, of receiving a report from Sir Richard Broun, of the steps taken since the year 183.5 for the revival of the rights of the Order in the province of Nova Scotia as anciently bounded (which comprehends New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Island, Cape Breton, Gaspe, &c.), and of the circumstances which have oc curred to suspend these proceedings since October, 1842 ; 2 , 1, To sanction a renewal of negotiations with Lord Stanley, Colonial Minister, and with Sir W. Colebrooke, Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick, for grants of land to the Baronets whose creations are subsequent to 1637, and for new grants in lieu of those originally given for such concurring Baro nets as inherit titles of a prior date ; and 3d, To join in a specific course of action for substantiating the chartered rights of the body, and making them avail able for the national ends for which they were bestowed. After hearing the report read, and con sidering the correspondence opened with the Lieu tenant-Governor of New Brunswick, resolutions were passed to the effect, that the meeting received with satisfaction Sir R. Broun's report, which was ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the members of the Order, preparatory to another general meeting to be held at Edinburgh, for the consideration of a series of resolutions to be grounded upon the same. A vote of thanlrs was passed to Sir R. Broun for his valuable services to the Order, in raising and advancing the proceedings to their present state ; and also one to the Hon. Baronet who pre sided. Amongst . the documents laid before the meeting were copies of Sir R. Broun's " Letter to Lord Stanley, explanatory of the charges made against the late British American Association," and of the petition presented to the House of Commons on the 24th of April last, praying for a Committee to inves tigate the same. There was also laid on the table a copy of Dr. Rolph's recent work on " Systematic Emigration and Colonization," dedicated, by permis sion, to Lord Stanley. The report made set forth, inter alia, that since the recent action, Lake v. the Duke of Argyll, legal proceedings have been adopted by Sir R. Broun against the proprietors of the Globe newspaper for libel, the issue of which, it was stated, would afford to the public an opportunity of judging as to the real character of the attacks upon the asso ciation made by the press.—Glasgow Chronicle. TOTNES. THE REV. J. SHORE. A meeting of a few of the friends of the Rev. James Shore was held on Wednesday evening, in the school room behind the Bridgetown Chapel, for the purpose of adopting measures to assist the reverend gentle man in resisting the unprecedented prosecution is sued against him by the Bishop of Exeter. About fifty persons attended, amongst whom were, John Derry, Esq., magistrate of the borough, Mr. Thomas Michelmore, Lieut. Boardman, R.N., Lieut. Lus combe, R.N., Mr. John Windeatt, Mr. F. B. Cuming, Mr. W. F. IVindeatt, Mr. James D. Searle, Mr. Edwin Searle, of Longcomb, &c., &c. On the motion of Mr. T. MICIIELMORE, seconded by Mr. J. WINDEATT, Mr. Derry was unanimously called to the chair. He proceeded to state the objects of the meeting, and read a copy of the notice calling the same, which had been affixed at the chapel doors on Sunday last. After a few preliminary remarks from the chairman, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Moved by Mr. BOARDMAN, and seconded by Mr. J. WINDEATT—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to his Grace the Duke of Somerset, for the kind and handsome manner in which he acceded to the wishes of the congregation attending the Bridge town Chapel, by securing to them ministry of their valued pastor, the Rev. James Shore; and for permitting his chapel to be opened for Divine service under the Toleration Acts, when he found, in come quence of the unprecedented opposition of the Rev. Mr. Cousins and the Bishop of Exeter, it was the only means by which he could accomplish the desired objects of the congregation." Moved by Mr. LuscoMnE, and seconded by Mr. J. SHIITE—" That this meeting gladly avail them selves of the opportunity of expressing their unabated attachment to the Rev. James Shore, whose zeal in the performance of his ministerial duties, and high moral character, during his long residence among them, have earned for him the respect, gratitude, and affection of all classes of his hearers; and at the same time the meeting think it right to express their opi nion that the opposition offered to Mr. Shore, in a great measure arises from personal feeling, and is an unjust attempt - to injure an unoffending man, and a faithful minister of Christ." Moved by Mr. F. B. CUMING, and seconded by Mr. E. SEARLE—" That, in addition to the injustice of the unprecedented persecution to which the Rev. James Shore is personally exposed by the Bishop of Exeter, this meeting cannot but view the course adopted by the Bishop as a fearful encroachment on the religious liberty of Englishmen, and an attempt to render use less the Toleration Acts, passed expressly to protect persons conscientiously seceding from the Established Church ; and that it is, therefore, the opinion of this meeting that the Rev. J. Shore, in resisting the at tack of the Bishop, is supporting the cause of reli gious liberty, and, consequently, is entitled to the aid of every one opposed to intolerance and persecution ; and that this meeting pledges itself to render him every legitimate support and assistance." Moved by Mr. J. E. SEARLE, and seconded by Mr: T. PARROTT—" That a committee be now formed, for the purpose of receiving and soliciting subscrip tions, and to determine as to the future plans to be adopted to carry out the opinion expressed in the last resolution ; and that such committee be empowered to correspond with any friends of civil and religious freedom in other towns and cities in England and elsewhere to solicit their co-operation for the same purpose ; and that such committee do consist of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their num bers : Mr. T. Michelmore, Mr. J. Windeatt, Lieut. Boardman, R.N., Mr. Frans. 13. Cuming, Lieut. Luscombe, R.N., Mr. Thos. Parrott, Captain Finch, Mr. James D. Searle, Mr. Sampson, Mr. Edwin Searle, Mr. Derry, Mr. J. D. Moysey." Mr. Derry having left the chair, Mr. T. MICIIELMORE moved, and Mr. BOARDMAN seconded—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Derry, for his straightforward and manly con duct in the chair ;" hich was briefly responded to by Mr. Derry. A subscription was immediately entered into, and before the meeting separated upwards of 501. was subscribed.— Western Times. A CONTRAST.—Rather more than fifty years ago, the sinking sun shone bright, one fine afternoon, on the stately tenements of Dumfries, and threw its slant rule of light athwart the principal street of the town. The shadows of the houses on the western side were stretched half-way across the pavement, while on the side oppo site the red beam seemed as if sleeping on jutting irre gular fronts and tall gables. There was a world of well dressed company that evening in Dumfries ; for the aristocracy of the adjacent country for twenty miles round had poured in to attend a county ball, and were fluttering in groups along the sunny side of the street, gay as butterflies. On the other side, in the shade, a soli tary individual paced slowly along the pavement. Of the hundreds who fluttered past no one took notice of him—no one seemed to recognise him. He was known to them all as the exciseman and poet, Robert Burns ; but he had offended the stately Toryism of the district by the freedom of his political creed ; and so—tainted by the plague of Liberalism—he lay under strict qua rantine. He was shunned and neglected ; for it was with the man Burns that these his contemporaries had to deal. Let the reader contrast with this truly melan choly scene, the scene of his festival a fortnight since. Here are the speeches of the Earl of Eglinton and of Sir John M'Neill, and here the toast of the Lord Justice General. Let us just imagine these gentlemen, with all their high aristocratic notions about them, carried back half a century into the past, and dropped down, on the sad evening to which we refer, in the main street of Dumfries. Which side dces the reader think they would have chosen to walk upon ? Would they have addressed the one solitary individual in the shade, or not rather joined themselves to the gay groups in the sunshine who neglected and contemned him ? They find it an easy matter to deal with th© phantom idea of Burns now ; how would they have dealt with the man then ? How are they dealing with his poorer relatives, or ho w w ith men o f ki n dred genius, their contemporaries ? Alas! a moment's glance at such matters is sufficient to show how very unreal a thing a - commemorative feast may be.—Edinburgh Witness. , DEATHFROAI CHOK ING.—Mr. Wakley, Aid ~ on Tuesdsy held an inquest at the Freemasons' Arms, Suf folk-street, King's-cross, on the body of Mary Ann Searle, aged 49. It appeared that the deceased, who had an asthmatic complaint, on Thursday last was sitting up in bed, when her husband offered her a cup of tea. She had drank some, and whilst drinking the remainder she was seized with a cough, became black in the face, and exhibited other symptoms of strangulation. A.medical man was at once sent for, but before his arrival life was extinct. Verdict—" Natural death," Mrs. Elizabeth Dark said, my husband died, as I am informed, yesterday morning. I have not lived with him for the last eighteen months. lie occupied a house at No. 3, York-place, Pentonville, where he resided with a girl named Eliza, whom he had met with in the country shortly after the time he had left me. I frequently saw my husband, who allowed me a sovereign a week for my maintenance, and I have seen the furniture in the house, which was his. I went to the house yesterday morning, but found it locked up. Yesterday evening I saw part of the furniture of my late husband at a beer shop, kept by a man named Boucher. I saw that furni ture safe in his house on Friday last. Cross-examlin d —I saw my husband last on Thursday afternoon. lie said he was going into the country for a month, and gave me four sovereigns in advance of my allowance. My husband went into the country at the time he left me, seventeen months ago, for the benefit of his health, and he brought this girl, with whom he after wards lived, to London with him. I visited him at his he.use in York-place three times. I never saw the furni ture in his possession before. Isaw-it at that house six months ago. My husband was badly off when he left. 1 understand he was very ill in the country. He was a baker, sometimes in work, sometimes out of work. I can't say that he has had a day's work for the last twelve months. I believe not. I called at his house on Friday evening, but be was out. I then saw the pri soner, Eliza Smith, who opened the door to me. George Towel!, of 55, Baldwin's-gardens —I knew the late Alfred Dark intimately, and have frequently been to his house in York-place. Yesterday morning I heard that he was brought into Westminster dead, and that he was brought to a house in a very mys terious manner. I immediately apprised his wife, and on finding his house shut up, and that the property had been removed, we went to the Bank and stopped some money that he had there. I went to a house in Orchard-street, where I saw the prisoner Lear and the female with whom Mr. Dark had been living. I told Lear that I understood Dark was dead. Lear told me that it was the body of another man that was in the house, and if I was a friend of Dark's I should say nothing about it, as some person had abused the female he was living with, and Dark bad knocked him on the head, and was keeping out of the way until it was all blown over, which would be in a month or two, when he would come back. In consequence of some suspicions I immediately went, accompanied by the in spector and another officer, to the house in Orchard street, and on going up stairs found the body of Mr. Dark; the prisoner Smith was in the room with it. Thomas Turista, a police-constable—l went last evening, in company with Inspector Moran, to No, 15, Orchard-street. .In the front room on the first floor we found the body of a man. Prisoners Lear and Boddington came into the room, and asked by what authority I was there. Collins then joined the party, and they_ became so boisterous that I sent down stairs for Mr. Moran. By his directions I took Lear to the station-house, and returned to the house. At Mr. Moran's request, Boddington pro duced a bundle of clothing, a gun in a case, and some other articles belonging to the deceased. Harris then came into the room, and said that she had come there to see a man that had been 'shot, and wanted to know who it was. She was with the other prisoners taken into custody. William Boucher, of 4, Pear-street, who described himself as the conductor of a beer-shop, then proved that a roomful of goods had been brought into his house before he was up in the morning ; there was a piano and - two chests of drawers, and a sofa, which the room IN ould not hold, and which the police had taken possession of. Witness had been asked on Sunday evening by George Boddington (not in custody) to let him the room to put some furniture in, and he had done so. Jane Boucher, the daughter, was called, and said several people brought the things on Monday morning. Boddington and Lear were among the numbers. Mr. Wontner submitted that nothing whatever had been Froved against his clients to justify their detention. There was no evidence to show that the furniture had ever been the property of the. deceased ; and because the wife now came forward and pleased to set up a claim to it, everybody found at the house where the lady was had been taken into custody. _ _ Mr. 13URRELL said the evidence respecting the pro perty was slight. He wished to know whether anything could be said of the previous character of the prisoners. Mr. Moran said Lear and Beddington were well known. Mr. BURRELL said he should remand the prisoners for a week, and, in the meantime, care must be taken of the property. On the application of Mr. Wontner, the magistrate consented to take bail for the appearance of the accused. In the course of the afternoon the worthy magistrate liberated four out of the five prisoners, on their putting in the necessary securities. Since the discovery of the dead body of Dark, in Or chard-street, Westminster, under circumstances of a sus picious character, a report has got abroad, and ob tained general belief in the neighbourhood, that a crime resembling in its leading features the case of Mr. Weare, who was murdered by John Thur tell, had been committed, and this impression has by no means subsided, although the case has undergone an investigation. The opinion of that portion of the detective police, who have looked into some cir cumstances connected with the case, and who are well acquainted with the characters, and of those who are unquestionably mixed up most intimately in the whole affair, points strongly to the conclusion that a deed of violence has been committed, and that a most searching investigation will only be able to draw the truth to light. A correspondent has sent us a number of particulars of Dark's life and proceedings, which go to justify the worst suspicions, but we forbear to publish them till they are narrated, if there be any foundation for them, in a court of justice, as they involve serious charges not only against the late Mr. Dark, but against his associates. HINTS TO VISITING AND RELIEF • SOCIETIES.— Having entered a poor person's dwelling, behave as if it were your own. Do not wait to be asked to sit down. If you are a gentleman, keep your hat on. Address the male occupant of the house as " My Good Man," and his wife as " My Good Woman ;' or if you find it necessary to assert your dignity, omit the " Good" altogether. Say, " Boy," and " Girl," to the child ren, as the case may be. Your first ()Eject is, to im press the visited with a due sense of their distance from yourself. For this reason, if they remain stand ing in your presence, never suggest that they should sit. Inquire in the most direct and unceremonious' way possible, what their rent is—how they are em ployed—what amount they earn—and in what manner they spend it ? Insist on knowing exactly how much they give for coals ; what quantity they burn ; and what' becomes of the cinders ? Find out their exact' consump-` tion of potatoes, and whether they are economical in raring them. Interrogate them with similar minuteness with respect to meat, bread, cheese, butter, tea, coffee, vinegar, and pepper. Ask if their sugar is sixpenny or sevenpeany ; whether any of them take toba cco or snu ff ; and, especialy, if they ever indulge in beer or spirituous liquors. Reprehend, sternly, the slightest excess or waste that you may detect in any of the above respects, and if the expenditure has not been limited to the merest necessaries, lecture them OR it well. Ask when they go to bed ; at what time they get up ; at what hour they breakfast, dine, and sup ? Request to be allowed to look into their drawers and cupboards, to see what there is in them. Smell every bottle you find. Take notes of every pot, pan, kettle, cup, saucer, phial, and gallipot, in the house. Demand to know what articles of apparel or furniture they have in pawn, and to see the duplicates for each. Make them tell you what they do with their rags, and how they are situate in regard to soap. Insist on being minutely informed how each of the family spends every portion of his or her time ; and animadvert strongly on any application thereof to rest or recreation . Having read the whole round o f them a severe homi lyll o o l n d a ny , imprudence or mismanagement. of their house affairs that you may have elicited, give them,.Provided they appear sufficiently abashed, a ticket Let sixpenny worth of relief, accompanied by l a f pen c n o y d ion ; tract. your gift be made with an air of o and dessert.—Punch. EXPERIMENTS ON SALMON. --Numerous experi mreetinrte majestically a t t present ,an s are proving unsettled Several of the s e ettled points i n the natural history of the salm on. d g makingo h ine t o various 3 t-y ou r partse o condescension coursesthe kingdom for the purpose of have been made in the T w e ed and its tribu taries , the last of which, we believe , was the wors ted thread of eslly different colours inserted in the tails of salmon fry. Th e purpose of the experiments was to ascertain the precise time occupied by the fish passing from the lo wer stages of its growth to maturity . W hether any of these h ave beensince captured we have not been abl e to l earn. About a fortnight ago, however, a grilse w as caught on the Shore Side Fishery, by James Afacquee u , fisherman, which may terow some light on thi s i nteresting subject. Among the number of ether fish caught with the net, he observed a black mark on the tail of one, of the size of a No. 4 shot. On examining it more closely, he felt some hard substance, and scraping the flesh to ascertain the cause, discovered a piece of wire twisted through the tail. The fish had a very healthy appearance, was about 51b. weight, and resembled in every respect the other grilse. Perhaps this single recovered specimen may affird the experimenters the information desired. — Bet wick Warder. LONGEVITY.—Among the inmates of St. Ca therine's alms-houses, in this city (Exeter), is Elizabeth Mountloy, who completed her hundredth year in Ja nuary last. She is a widow, and. has been the mother, we understand, of sixteen children. By the aid of spec tacles, she can read, and with the assistance of a stick she enjoys a walk.— Western Luminary. Permit me to address a few lines to you on the sub ject of machinery. They come from one who has to contend with it; one influenced by the same hopes and the same fears as yourselves ; in short, a working man, but one who has devoted the whole of his leisure, for the last seven years, to the attentive study of wages, and the causes which influence them, one way or another. I assure you, men of Norwich, that my feelings towards you, at present, are of a strange nature ; I cannot find language to describe them-- deep regret, almost giving way to indignation and contempt, to think that thousands of my fellow workmen should congregate, for the purpose of yelling—brutally, savagely yelling —at what ? a corpse! Fit result from such leaders as you have believed and trusted in ; one who misled the true hearted, but hot-hcadcd Welsh exiles, calumniating and denouncing, as moral force humbugs and cowards, those who foresaw and tried to prevent the fatal ten dencies of his exciting language ; and the same per son, now leading you astray, has the impudence to tell you that he always advocated moral force alone ! The second of your advisers was imprisoned as a debtor. The third was voted by the House of Com mons, a calumniator ! Truly, are you choice in your advisers, and the tree bears appropriate fruit. Bowl ing at dead men ! Not only is this a disgrace to the working men of England, but a foul stain upon humanity. Such conduct recoils with a fatal force upon ourselves. It gives our opponents a lever which they know full well how to use, while, at the same time, it damps the ardour of our best and most effec tive friends. I have told you, that the leisure of the last seven years has been devoted to the study of wages. I en treat your attention and reflection to a few remarks, regarding the influence of machinery upon them. The question might be asked, what constitutes machinery ? Without stopping to examine this point, I beg to explain that I adopt the popular idea (although an erroneous one), namely, steam power. It would not be possible to come to a sound conclusion, in. such a case, without examining int. the rate of wages, previously .tom the introduction of the steam-engine as a great producing power. Should wages have been greater at the period anterior to this, and as the powers of steam became developed had wages propo • rtionably declined, such events would have been strong presumptive evidence that machinery did ac tually reduce wages. But if it could he proved that, for a long time previous to the introduction of steam power, and up to the very season of it coming into existence, the wages were at the lowest ebb; and that, us the wonderful engine extended its capabilities, so, in like proportion did wages increase; surely, then, machinery could not be regarded as the cause of de clining wages. Bather, the same principles which reduced our forefathers to toil and penury, is now at work ; pulling us down to the same degrading level ; while we, by our fatal delusions and ferocious pre judices, are doing all we can to strengthen this deadly enemy. The first proof I shall offer to your consideration will be from an author who is looked upon with respect by every enlightened mind in the civilised world; he is known to be, with regard to facts, most scrupulously correct. It is from Smith's celebrated work on the " Wealth of Nations." Here is the ex tract :—" Eighteenpence a day may be reckoned the common price of labour in London and its neighbour hood. At a few miles distance it falls to fourteen and fifteenpence. Tenpence may be reckoned its price in Edinburgh. At a few miles distance it falls to eight pence, the usual price of common labour through the low country of Scotland, where it varies a good deal ess than in England."—(Book 1., chap. viii.) I would anxiously entreat my fellow .workmen's attention to the above extract. Let them be aware, that this was the rate of wages just previously to the steam-engine coming into operation, as a great pro ducing power. My father, who is now alive, has a perfect recollection of this state of things. When he was a boy the weavers received, if possible, less wages than they do at present; and other trades most de cidedly less ; in many cases, not above one-half the present rate. I dwell upon this, being desirous, above all things, that the suffering artisan should be attracted from the false scent which he now pursues. Tes, my coun trymen, the two leech-like powers sucked from the labouring classes, in those days of no machinery, all that should have rendered life desirable, leaving nought but toil, and wherewith to continue the miserable race. The same principles are now at work, and we, by every stumble we make, or erroneous conclusion we cove to, tend but to increase their strength. How anxiously, then, ought every working man to devote a little of his leisure to a calm and temperate reflec tion as to what is and what is not an agent of oppres sion on his class. You may imagine, in those days, that food and clothing, &c., were proportionably cheap. Such, however, was not the case; the quar ter of wheat, which fetches now about 505., then ave raged upwards of 405.; while clothing of every de scription was much more expensive than now. The first thing which materially disturbed this shocking deadness—which for a time loosened the bloodsuckers from the industry of the nation—was the application of steam power to the spinning of cotton. This at once reduced the price of yarn, so that goods could be produced at an amazingly less cost ; while, at the same time, the wages of the fabri cators of those goods were four, five, six, and, in many cases, ten times the amount previously earned by them. Ultimately, all trades were affected and bet tered by this same cause ; rent and money powers were for a time confused; they could not fix upon us ; but by cool watching, and legislativ e i n fl uences, at last they got hold, and now, pro Tiding we wake no t from our fatal delusions, the same principles which reduced our forefathers to pauperism, will absorb every advantage which the beneficent steam-engine has given to us. I had intended to have shown how the introduction of machinery, at first, had a tendency to hurt us, and that the remedy rested with ourselves, and ourselves alone ; but I find my space filled up. Should this meet favour, I may yet endeavour to do so. In conclusion, then, I compare machinery to a grand river ; in spring tide overflowing its banks, enriching and beautifying the soil, while on its mag nificent bosom float the barques which spread nature's blessings over the wide, extended earth. This same river, yielding so many benefits, reviving a f a i nt i ng and weary nation, may still, at times, burst through its boundaries, committing havoc and devastation. This is not to be avoided by drying it up or shun ning it, but by a cool, calculating examination into its weak parts, with a resolute determination, at the same time, to strengthen them when they are discovered. Most respectfully, A TIN-PLATE WORKER. MOST EXTRAORDINAY TASTE. A bricklayers' labourer, at Norwich, some time ago, took a strong liking to black beetles, or cockroaches, which he eats with great gusto. His usual breakfast is a penny loaf and some twenty or thirty cockroaches, if he can catch as many, which he eats as he would shrimps, but with out being cooked or shelled ! He says they aro a great dainty, and the flavour excellent. - DEATH FROM OVER-EXERTION.—On • Tuesday, Mr. William Baker, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Black Horse, in the Kingslarn:-road, on the body of Joseph Peachy, forty-nine years of age. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was a coal porter, but had for some time past been in very distressed cir cumstances, arising from the want of employment, and unable to procure the common necessaries of life, On Monday morning he obtained a job of unloading some coals in John-street, Holton, and, whilst carrying a sack into the house, he suddenly fell down, and before medi cal assistance could be obtained he expired. The sur geon attributed death to the rupture of a blood vessel, caused by over-exertion in his debilitated state and want of strength. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.

In his opinion death ensucd from the diseased condition of her blood. Mr. Wakley severely censured the sister fbr having circu lated a report that deceased hod been poisoned, but fur which report no inquest would have been held. The sister said that, as the deceased's disease bad baffled the skill of 'Drs. Quain and Williams, she suspected that the deceased might have been poisoned. Verdict—" Natural death." ELOrEMEET FROM NEW YORK.—ktuue a sensation was created yesterday afternoon by one of those romantic incidents in real life, which now and then spring up t o relieve the monotony of this somewhat dull world of ours, it having been discovered that a daughter of a, certain wealthy baker had eloped with a sturdy.Dutch eyn t h e e e d, man- - -a real anzateur of loaves a nd ladies ; the intelli genceiady,s th s e p r o , polite , a c oi p u u m rs u u n i i t ca w t e 4 d s r tt; om th p e tl p y o c li o c in e. n i: but how it will terminate is yet in a state of uncertainty.
