expected, exists between the emancipated convicts, and their families and descendants (although sometimes these are the richest men in the colony) and the free emigrants and settlers. You may often see,' says Mrs. Meredith, a man of immense property, whose wife and daughters dress in the extreme of fashion and finery, rolling home in his gay carriage from his daily avocations with face, bands, and apparel as dirty and slovenly as any common mechanic. And the son of a similar character has been seen with a dozen costly rings on his coarse fingers. and chains, and shirt-pins glistening with gems, huying let more expensive jewellery, yet without sT.Ac or stock ing to his feet, the shoes to which spurs were at tached leaving a debatable grond between them and his trousers! Spurs and shoc.l,7s are, I imagine, a fashion peculiar to this starop of exquisites, but among them very popular.' the market in Sydney is well supplied, and the dis play fruit is very beautiful. This includes the pro duce of hot climates, especially all descriptions of melons. The large green water-melon, rose-coloured within, is a very favourite fruit, grows to an enormous size, and may be seen, piled up like huge cannon-balls, at all the fruit-shop doors, being universally admired in this hot, thirsty climate.' Mrs. Meredith, however, thought it insipid; and notices, as an improved method of eating this crisp, cool, and refreshing fruit, the mix ing a bottle of Madeira, or sherry, with its cold, watery pulp ! We recommend this new kind of sherry cob bler' to the Reform Club, " Excellent fish i* to be procured at Sydney; and Mrs. Meredith h0...1 here the good taste to prefer such to the preserve:l salmon and cod from England, which are alone s°j-ved at a Sydney dinner-table. Rock-oysters and eray-fish are also abundant and good. " The dust is one main source of annoyance at Syd ney. Unless after heavy rain, it is always dusty. One would suppose the phrase of Down with the dust !' must have originated in the colony; but this Mrs. Mere dith does not mention. Flies are another nuisance; they swarm iu every room, in tens of thousands, and blacken the breakfast or dinner table as soon as the viands ap pear. But worse than these, are the musquitoes, whose bite, Mrs. Meredith, on two different occasions, describes as being mountainous,' and their attacks so persevering, as to be always more or less successful. These fierce as sailants are also aided in their nocturnal invasions by still worse, and thrice-disgusting creatures;' to say no thing of fleas, which seem to pervade the colony in one universal swarm.' " The Cumberland hunt have a tolerable pack of hounds, and the destructive native dog, or dingo, serves them for a fox; and this is often a bagged dog ! " There are several rival and mutually abusive papers published in Sydney, where there is, also, a public li brary; but literature appears to be at discount; for ' the gentlemen,' says Mrs. Meredith, ' are to busy, or find a cigar more agreeable than a book; and the ladies, to quote the remark of a witty (?) friend, ' pay more at tention to the adorning of their heads without, than within." FRASER'S MAGAZINE. Fraser is less amusing this month than usual. The Number opens with a "Fine Day at Stratford-upon- Avon," wherein the writer gives an account of his departure from London on a pilgrimage to the birth place of our greatest dramatist. The article is some what of the heaviest, being chiefly taken up with dull antiquarian details respecting Shakspeare, &c. The " Smiths" is a passable story, and refers to sundry passages in the lives of a family of that name who dwelt at Brompton. It might have been curtailed with advantage. " Prichard's Natural History of Man" is a notice of a very able work recently pub lished, in the course of which the Reviewer makes a striking extract from one of Mr. Hope's latest pro ductions describing the physical and mental pecu liarities of a race of dwarfs who reside in some of the islands of Polynesia, and bear the closest possible ap proximation to the baboon. " Military Tableaux" is a spirited description of the achievements of the Prussian Brandenburgh Hussars in the tremendous campaigns of 1813 and 1814. In the essay headed " Hints on the Modern Governess System," we meet with some serviceable practical suggestions respecting the education which the majority of females in the middle classes receive now-a-days. " Scotland and England" is a review of Mr. Kohl's recent volumes of travels in these countries, and corrects some mistakes into which the German tourist has fallen respecting Edinburgh. Our readers may perhaps be pleased with the following pleasing little poem on the subject of the " Opening of the Royal Exchange :" " In the heart of the City, When Mammon lay still In the Sleep of Night's silence, (Hush'd Word and hush'd Will!) `When the garner'd gold rested Untouch d and unturn'd, And in hard chests of iron Man's wealth lay inurn'd! " When London had pass'd all His crowds to the West, And the Spirit of Commerce Grew dull in its rest; When the haunts of the merchant No sharp echoes woke; From the heart of the City The flame-tempest broke. " It rose on its grand wings In strength and in ire, Up, up to the red sky, The beautiful fire! It screamed and it crackled In column and flake, Till up-leaped the great city Alive and awake! " In the temple of Dives The flame-monarch stood With bright eyes of saffron And red limbs of blood; And as the walls crumbled Beneath his great tread, The millions came round him And shriek'd as he spread! " Too grand and too awful, Too vast in dismay, In the arms of the flame-king The gold temple lay; As swift and as sure Was his wreck, as the wave, Till the reeking rod Mammon Lay hot in his grave! " Old London! grand London! Low, low in the dust Thy proud Commerce watcheth Her pride and her lust! Thy tryst place a lucre Hath siliunk from the eye, And Viacken'd or bleaching Its dead embers lie! " What, ho! for a Phoenix To come with new flame, Up, up from those ashes To beauty and fame!— To stand on that dark spot In glory and pride, And call back the City Again to its Bride! " They bring the sharp chisel, Tbey hue the white stone, They make the crane rattle, They oil the black hone; They rear the high scaffold, They climb, and they ruu: Lo! again a grand temple Mounts up to the sun; " The Temple of Dives Once more hath its priests; They will deck it with trophies, And crown it with feasts! To day a grand pageant Will honour their band When the king-merchants crowd round The Queen of the Land! " Come Queen and come Consort In pomp and in pride,— Come nobles ! Old London Now weds his new Bride Fair plentiful Commerce (Gold strewed on her way), In his grand palace temple Of riches to-day I " In wealth and in honour, In pride and in state, In envy and wonder, They watch and they wait. Now the pageant is ended The million may roam, And royal Old Mammon Again has a Home !" TAIT'S MAGAZINE. Tait's political article is very brief and meagre this . month, which is not to be wondered at, when we con sider the present aspect of affairs. In whatever di rection we turn our eyes, all is dull, lifeless apathy. Ireland—an unusual thing with her—scarcely gives a stir to convince us that she exists ; and in England, Chartism, Radicalism, Whiggism, and all other isms and schisms are as dull and tranquil as the grave. In the dearth of subjects more congenial to his tastes, our Utilitarian friend Tait alludes to " Young England," which he does in a spirit highly creditable to his sense of justice. " We cannot," he says, " in view of some of the recent proceedings of this party, refuse them credit for a sympathy with the people, and a mental independence which must, ere long, produce . something very much better than has yet appeared in their Parliamentary votes and speeches. Their late visits to the seats of democracy and manufactures can scarcely be interpreted as a pledge to go on withhold ing . the working man's fr anc hi se an d t ax i ng hi s b rea d . " . Th is is certainly a logical sequitur from the opinions hitherto maintained byYoung England. "A Teacher's Jo - urnal" is interesting chiefly from the apparent . truth and reality o f • entitled " Recent P its ' descriptions. In thecriticism quisite productionsoetrr justice is done to the ex thouwrlteMiss Barrett--the most ghtful female o f the day. We find . in the present chapters 0; Hearth and Homestead," the foldlowint ills's novel, " Our . portrait of a direct w et ip wears the country razor-grinder and his • appearance of having been drawn odif.; high and life : • g an and si slopin g " In a green lane, flanked by two hi • banks, on which the prickly bramble • flourished, with many a flower born to bloom unseen, ' man was industriously engaged in the humble occuPe a - I tion of razor-grinding. He was old, and, if his hablll ments and general appearance offered any etidence of his means and resources, poverty stricken in the extreme: A darned, tattered, and faded soldier's coati bereft of its skirt, and which now, in its curtailed state came under the denomination of a spenser, hung upon his shoulders, and seemed as much disposed to drop from them as to remain in its doabttli.l position. His legs were barely protected from tie glance of the passerby in Cf trouser., rayed almost to the knees, and his feet were 'scarcely capable of forming a union with the soleless and dilapidated shoes in which their owner shuffled on his way. A worn and greasy foraging-cap placed jauntily on one side of his head, almost as devoid of hair as the back of his brown and bony hands, completed his unpre possessing costume ; but notwithstanding its lack of at tractions, there was an air about the wearer which gave note that he had seen far better days, and afforded more than a probability that he had known how battles were lost and won. His features were hard and contracted, and his gray eye-brows sprouted in thick wiry bristles over a pair of as bright and twinkling eyes as ever glis tened in human sockets. Deeply marked and wrinkled were his cheeks ; but from his iron frame, still well-knit with thews and sinews, it would seem that hardship and suffering had more to do with the stamps than the sap consuming hand of time. Quickly he turned the wheel of his machine, and the sparks flew as he held against the stone a pair of rusty and blunt scissors which he was endeavouring to whet to a keen edge. Now and then he stopped the bur-r-r of his work to examine the effects of his progress in the task, and after trying the edge of the instrument of the sensitive and fleshy part of his dexter thumb, he renewed his labour. " In the gleam of sunshine streaming on a patch of rank grass, some three or four yards from the itinerant sharpener of a diversity of domestic tools, a bobbed-tail, wiry Scotch terrier squatted. It must be confessed, in the graphic language of an eminent dealer in the canine race, that he looked " a varmint." More refined diction would not convey an apt description of this constant com panion of the razor-grinder. Short, crisp, and staring was each hackle upon his body, which in colour com bined the hue of a grimy brown and an undecided black, not dissimilar to an impenetrable London fog. His ears had been clipped to a sharp poiat, and the ornament to his rear docked to the only joint remaining. His front legs were unproportionably less in length than his hind ones, and were so immeasurably bandy, that more than once a cat, or some such object of attack, had slipped between them, in doubling from his evil intentions of committing grievous bodily harm. And what was the creature gifted with life that he would not attack? From a bull to a butterfly he was ever ready to tilt, and, in deed, run a-muck at everything that he might meet. To growl and snap at the fleeing legs—although slow in flight withal—of an old woman, as he trudged through a village, gave him special gratification ; and as he re turned to the side of his master, who conceived a secret pleasure at this delinquency, equal to the apparent one of his favourite, the last remains of his tail would wag with a demonstration of delight inadmissible of doubt. Then to set a group of children squalling, or to fix his fangs in the ear of a truant pig, was unsurpassable diversion; and whenever these legitimate objects of his pleasures were wanting, he consoled himself with the less exciting oc cupation of barking at vacancy with a power of inere dible,magiliture. In truth, the intervals were few and far between when this unexampled dog was not using his best endeavours to render himself as superlative a nuisance as his many accomplishments rendered him capable of." DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The first article in 'the present Number of this Magazine is headed "'waddling Tourists in Ireland," and is severe—and no altogether unjustly so—on divers and sundry volunes of trash that have lately been published on the subject of the sister country. The absurditiesOincleiror misrepresentations, arising from ignorance, of a recent German traveller, who strolled through Ireland in the Repeal year, are spe cially held up to ridicule, and never was ridicule better applied than in . fhis particular case. " Etruria" is a critical notice, accompanied by numerous extracts, of Mrs. Hamilton's clever antiquarian work on this subject. The " National System of Education" is a skilfully reasoned essay, though in places it evinces somewhat too much of a party bias. Some of the writer's suggestions are well worthy the consideration of Government. " Major Lynch's Journal of a Residence among the Ghilzies in 1839" contains some graphic sketches of character and scenery. " Glimpses in the Mountains" is a wild, desultory article, but by no means devoid of fancy. We sub join one of the poems with which it is interspersed Coward heart and failing limb, Drowsy sluggard of the earth, Where the sun and stars are dim— Come where Hope and Love have birth ! Like the embers from the earth, Like the blossoms from the tree, Plenty there decays to dearth, Death from Life is hunting thee. Here are Fancy's purpled hills, Here Ambition's towers of gold. Earthly fountain never fills Streams like those our vallies hold, Down in every mountain fold They go apparelled from the sun— Faltering heart awake, be bold, And the heritage is won. When the dew of boyhood's dawn At the kindling morn of Youth, Rose in glorious dreamings gone, Here they settled into truth ; Never Time's devouring tooth Gnaws the bud or fruitage here ; Here, enchanted, gentlest Ruth Holds her urn without a tear. There thou art a silly slave, Shepherd Conscience pens thee in, From the cradle to the grave. Trembling for the old wolf, Sin. Here thy golden years begin, Wolf and flock together play; No more frets th e s h e ph er d' s din, Nor his angry dogs all day. Wealth shall trouble thee no more; House, or raiment, food, or drink. Wish—and ere the wish is o'er, Teems around the fountain's brink Fruit of boughs that never shrink From the cold calamity. Labour here is but to think, And the God-like hand is free. Would'st thou utter noble thought— It is uttered ere it rise, Bywatching no wasting brought; 0 er the blushing ear th it lies, Like the rosy dawning skies; Genius stirs the trembling grass, Weeps from out the violet's eyes, Fills the breezes as they pass. Here the heart can find its brother, As the blossom finds the dew, And another and another, Like the flowers that spring anew; And the free life passes through, Like the wind-sigh through the tree. Dream of Love, and is it true; When thou wak'st, embracing thee. When the heart would utter love On that frustrate earth below, The stumbling tongue in vain would move, As deep as love it cannot go. here to and fro thy life doth flow, Breathing the immortal hours; And the thoughts, unspoken, grow On the leaves and on the flowers.

PROM THE EtENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLORE.— = Vi r b revert to our position that price or payment, in private transactions, IS no tnatter for discussion or regulation —except as regards the ful filment of contracts. This position is recalled to our minds by , what we can term only vague extravagance —the notions pfotnulgated of the required interference of third parties, or public authorities, in settling the money rate at which labour should be remunerated. It May be deemed just retribution on the landed class that they . should all at • once find themselves assailed w ith precisely similar c l amours a b ou t o ppressing the labour employed by them, to those which, for a series of years, their organs and mouth-pieces have showered on the manufacturers. All such clamours, however, raised indiscriminately against any class— all claims, vaguely insistad on, to rates of remunera tion without reference to means—all assertions of oppression merely deduced from existing distress — we regard as of bad example, and not of allowable imitation. It is not because 111 r. Ferrand, or such persons, were cheered on by country gentlemen in their coarse and false aspersions :.21 opposed to the corn-law s , th a t we s h a ll selves free to perpetrat e repr i sa l s o f equa l coarse ness, and equal fal seness . N e ith er d o we thi n k the classes c ourselves, or any other third parties, or any Legisla ture, competent, or entitled, to fix what money wages such or such employers can pay. Denunciations and demands of this kind are coming thick on the landed interest. They are coming thick on them at a time when it is too notorious that the solvent part of them are not too solvent—the employers not too ready to employ labour on any terms. Under such circumstances, what can be the nse of phrases like those of a writer in Fraser's Magazine for the present month, who says that " industrious and wil ling men struggle hard to keep out of the workhouse, even though they be offered for their week's labour no more than eight, or at the most ten shillings." What can be the use of vaguely stating it as the duty of the landlord to see " that his labouring de pendents are remunerated for their work at a just rate of wages ?" What is a just rate of wages? In the writer's mind it seems ten shillings a week are not a just rate t In how many places does the writer suppose fain "labour can earn more than ten shillings? Or by what process are farmers to be made to pay more than the labour is to them worth? Nothing to us can be more certain than that it is mere throwing the words to the wind to talk ge nerally about this or that rate of wages as the one suitable to be dictated—or—what is worse—de nouncing all rates now paid as unfit to be en dured. Much, much more research into the past than these writers seem to have exercised—much more inquiry into the present money-payments in other countries—(for, be it remarked, we have no longer the sort of monopoly of traffic which placed us on a different level)—much more, in a word, of knowledge of all that enters into prices, and means of payment—is required, befere either landlords or essayists can dictate what wages farmers can pay. But these attempts at erecting some fixed standard of money payments—or talking vaguely about some standard, which never has been erected—flow the most naturally in the world from the long blind worship of the golden calf. Why, indeed, should labourers be the only class in whose favour no talk should be made of "remunerating prices," and of securing those prices by direct dictation ? Alas, alas I—it is just when all this effort has broken down in behalf of their employers, that it is now idly claimed for the employed ! Equally idle, as it appears to us, is the notion that direct means are available for enabling, in the new style now in vogue, labourers to rise above the class of labourers. How did Benjamin Franklin rise from the rank of a journeyman printer ? By means open to the common class of minds ? By steps adjusted to that end expressly ? Assuredly not ; and assuredly no such stepping stones can raise the ordinary members of any class into another. It is only the most energetic and vigorous spirits in any class that rise out of it; the true object is to enable the mass of men to enjoy well-being in the sphere where their lot is cast. The true subject of complaint is not that those trained to manual labour continue labourers : society has manual work to be done; and those habituated to it are, and continue, the fittest to do it. The tr ue complaint is, that the lot of labour is depressed below the conditions of well-being. The remedy must be sought for this; and, if found, it will also be found a remedy for the injustice suffered by th e compara tively few, whose energies, if less weighed down, might have raised them to a higher sphere than that in which their lot was originally cast. We shall be asked, however, how we ourselves propose to ame liorate the lot of labour. And we should say that a great step in that direction were the perception of having hitherto pursued a wrong one. If the whole effort to keep the higher classes of the agricultural interest at an artificial level has proved a failure—the remedy will likeliest be found in trying back towards a natural state of things. STANDARD.—SeveraI friends have written to us upon the subject of the pecuniary difficulties in which the Rev. Mr. Mathew is said to be involved, asking why we have not alluded to the affair, and also inquiring as to the estimated amount of the reverend gentleman's debts. These inquiries in some measure answer the one the other. It is chiefly because we have never heard any guess at the amount of Mr. Mathew's embarrassments, that we have abstained from rendering him all the assistance that we could; for none can give the reverend gentleman more credit than we do for the purest and most ardent benevolence none appreciate more highly the benefits that lie has con ferred upon the empire I Here, however, is the difficulty that has perplexed us and that must per plex others a difficulty that the persons who manage Mr. Mathew's concerns can dissipate at once if they please, and which they will please to dissipate if they are honest. Large sums of money have been received in Mr. Mathew's name and on his account, but we are not aware that he has been subjected to any considerable expense, beyond the demands of mere locomotion, which in our day are not exorbitant. No human being will suspect Mr. Mathew of pecuniary meanness or of any other meanness ; but the disappearance of the large sums that have been levied on his account and in his name, must lead to the suspicion that there has been foul play among those about him, and this suspicion will be much ag gravated if it is found that not only has the great amount collected disappeared, but that the reverend gentleman is heavily in debt. If such suspicions are well founded, it is plain that to contribute, as it is called, to the relief of Mr. Mathew would be merely to pamper the rogues who have robbed him, and the public through him. There is another point that calls for explanation before Englishmen and loyal men put their hands into their pockets to pay Mr. Mathew's debts. Is it true, as stated in an Irish newspaper, that great part of Mr. Mathew's debts have been incurred in aiding the outfit of what are called " temperance bands ?" If it is true, we say at once, loyal Englishmen hold your hands. These temperance bands are really the most mischievous nuisance in Ireland; they are, without a figure, trumpeters of sedition and of reli gious bigotry ; they are the staff of Mr. O'Connell's rebel army, and the inseparable companions of every insolent or seditious movement. Certainly no pru dent man will be a party to paying debts incurred in organising this most insulting and dangerous nuisance DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. We have received the following from a person who subscribes himself a " Constant Reader :" " OLDHAM, OCT. 31.—One of the most dreadful catastrophes which ever happened in this neighbour hood occurred this afternoon, by the sudden falling of a portion of Messrs. Ratcliffes' cotton-mill. About half-past three o'clock the whole of the part recently erected upon the most modern principle instanta neously fell, almost to the foundation, burying every hand then at work. The magistrates are on the spot superintending the removal of the ruins. Up to this time (half-past eight o'clock in the evening) about 12 or 14 bodies have been found. It is not yet known how many are missing, but report says 30 or 40. You shall know by next post." 118 TIM LONDON GAZETTC. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, Noit. 1, 1844.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 1.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were less inclined to realise, and the demand being good they obtained prices rather above those of yesterday for the lower kinds, and former rates for the better qualities, so that prices closed the same as on Friday last ; 500 were sold to-day, making the total sales for the week 2,200 hhds and trcs. REFINED.--A further reduction in prices having been submitted to for Refined goods, the Home trade have been induced to purchase largely ; brown lumps have been selling at 7ls to 71s Gd, standard lumps 72s to 72. 6d, tittlers common to middling 71s 6d to 745, good 768 to its, fine 78s to 83s, Hambro' loaves 72s to 82s, double ditto 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt. Bastards at 38: to 425, middling 43s to 465, good 478 to 50s, and fine 51s to 55s per cwt. For pieces there are still several purchasers, but prices are not so higb, fine selling at 68s to 70s, good middling and good 66s to 67s 6d, middling 02s to 655, and low 57s to 61s per cwt. Treacle is firm in price and good request ' • boiled from W est I n di a Mo lasses at 19s to 19. s 6d. Patent 21s to 225, and Golden Syrup 23s to 27s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—The supply at market this week has been principally of brown, low yellow, and grey sorts, which are not mu c h wan t e d, and a decline in prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place; mid dling good and fine yellow kinds, however, have sustained the former currency, and are in demand, but few parcels are to be had privately. At auction, 1,631 bags were disposed of, common brown at 40s to 425, middling 44s to 455, good 47s to 48s, fine 50s 6d, middling grey 52s ; a few lots of yellow went at 52s for low, 53s 6d for middling, and 608 for good ; 2 casks of very low brown were sold at 35s 6d per cwt ; there has been one arrival, and the stock is 7,502 bags more than it was last year at this period. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon two large parcels of Bengal Sugar, attiotifiting to 8 ,032 bags, were brought to publizrsale, 1,500 of which consisted of chrystalised yellow, and although they were slightly tainted by sulphur, 'still : the whole sold at high rates, Dobah fine fetched 07s to 695, good 65s to 66s 6d, middling 63s to 63s 6d, Ilatlip and washed 59s to 62s ; the remainder consisted of common yellow and brown, a part only of which found purchasers at comparatively low prices, fine brown sold at 40s to 47s 6d, good 44s to 44s 6d, middling ils, damp and washed 40s to 475, low yellow but bright, 508 to sis, damp and washed, 46s to 48s 6d; there was no white in the sale. FOREIGN.—In Brazil there has been only a limited business transacted by private treaty, but importers sup ply the thai‘kct sparingly t brown is held for the previ ous currency, but for white rather lower rates have been accepted': . 22, having . been taken for a floating cargo e . 1 74 eats •pf Bahia for R e fi n i ng h ere under rbpaying the landing charges.— Only c Imo, all damaged, have been offered at auction, which sold at 16s to 17s for low soft yellow, and:l6B to 15s 6d per cwt. for brown. Holders of yellow fLivannah have shown firmness, and refused to sell but sit full rates. White 26s to 275, middling and good 28s to 303,. and tine 31s to 325 per cat. Porto Rico is held for the former currency. MOLASSES.—West India are held with firmness, and the market is not largely supplied : a parcel of good Antigua has been sold at 24s per cwt. East India cannot be purchased upon lower terms, but there is at present not much demand : one cask of Madras in bond at public sale was taken in 7s 6d, and 17 hhds of Bengal Treacle at 21s per cwt duty paid. RICE.—For Java less demand has prevailed this week, and former rates are barely supported. Middling white wither broken at lOs to lOs 6d, good middling ditto 10s 6d to 11s, and good bold 12s 6d ; sea damaged how ever all at 6s 6d to 9s Gd, ditto and repacked 5s to Os 6d per cwt. Madras of 600 bags at auction a part only sold at 9s 6d to lOs for mid white rather dusty and broken, 9s to 9a 6d for low ditto, ogd 53 to 8s 6d per cwt for sea damaged.

DITIOLIN, OCT. 30.—1 t appears by the following com munication, addressed to us this morning, that Lord Besborough is not likely to suffer any serious conse quences from his recent accident : " Carrick-on-Suir, Tuesday Evening. " In reference to the accident met with by the much esteemed Earl of Besborough, mentioned in my last com munication, I am now happy to be able to inform you that the symptoms have much abated—that his Lordship is greatly relieved from the severe pain under which he has been suffering for the last three days—and, also, that the apprehensions which his ..medical attendants enter tained at first of serious injury being done to his hip joint, are now nearly removed. That your readers in general will rejoice at this, and that they will unite with the people of this locality in cordially wishing for his Lordship's perfect and speedy recovery, I can have no doubt." SUBSCRIPTION FOR FATHER MATHEW. A meeting of the Irish Total Abstinence Association was held yesterday evening, iu the Arena, Abbey-street. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M.P., addressed the meet- ,ng at some length. When (he said) the blessings which resulted to the country from the labours of this great and good man became so apparent that they could not be denied by any one, a meeting of the great ones of the laad was held for the purpose of erecting an enduring testimonial to Father Mathew. This project he (Mr. O'Connell) always considered a presumptuous and ab surd one, for Father Mathew's own virtues had already raised to him a memorial which would endure as long as ono particle of common sense, or of common gratitude existed in the hearts of Irishmen. The undertaking, however, such as it was, caused a great deal of noise at the time ; but what was new found to be the fact ? It now turned out that of all those exalted personages who had sanctioned the proceeding, and talked se; much about it at the time, not snore than one-twentieth I zirt had paid their subscriptions.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") So much for the aristocracy ! He would answer for it, that amongst the defaulters there was not to be found a single Irish peasant, nor a single Irish tradesmen.--(Hear.) It was the tradesman and the peasant classes of Ireland who had derived the most benefit from the philanthropic exertions of their great benefactor ; and now, that he was unfortunately in pecuniary liabilities, which were incurred by his devotion to their interests, temporal and eternal, it behoved them to make some move with a view to rescue him from his difficulties. It would be a foul stain upon the Irish people—yea more, and upon human nature generally—if such a man as Father Mithew were to be permitted to suffer in his purse, his person, or his peace of mind, for his glorious exertio is in favour of humanity at large.--(Hear.) So nothing must at once be done. Money must be procured, and that, too, in a large sum, and by the accumulation of many items. The contributions should be small ; no man's subscription should exceed one pound, but the smallest offering— even to a penny--should be accepted. They should go systematically to work, and if they did success was cer tain. If every man in Ireland to whom Father Mathew's philanthropic exertions bad been the cause of content ment and happiness were now to come forward and to resolve upon giving him the value of one day's work, a sum would be accumulated which 14 uuld not only extri cate him from hie present difficulties, but would make him independent of all contingencies, and would afford him the means of gratifying his natural benevolence of disposition to his heart's content for the rest of his life. --(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded, amid loud cheers, by reading the resolution proposed by Dr. Gray. The motion was put from the chair and carried una nimously. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL moved a resolution to the following effect:— " Resoved—That every:individual teelotaller pre,ent do pledge him or herself to devote one day's wanes, is his or her contribution to :the fund for the relief of Father Mathew, and do urge the same upon every tee topljer of tua Qr her Acquaintime."--(Lcmd cheers.) •••• .ma OM • ~..................
