Effingham Wilson, 18, Bishopsgate-street Within. Prithee do not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in November will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been determined shall be called 1 1 H E W 0 R L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bxt his style would have been too spark ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at leiagth seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out r- k. city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the corn pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man aline loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the war. paid to our own humble exerti, ns by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection S 9 bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carrvers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the whole concern fißANlcs,s SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF Wit h .

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art hath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We shall always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, however they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty ; but we shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be realized— " My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose aPremier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary, when he resists the Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented urtil she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing "the even tenor of our way," we shall "run on glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From grave to gay, from lively to severe." The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will discover that we know a thing or two ; the Physician shall learn that we os c hf a a n Fl c an l s e bo a ti r ohn a a v eg at t r eb y wo be t ls h a n h c i o m of ti . orut ‘ proclaim us l overs of the healing art ; the Sportsman shall a o ' G r . e l l a; l E e i g t Casett e , andeß; thetph t A o gr th ie e ul L tu ad ri y st r interests of the Merchant and Manufacturer shall receive our taclocsbeedatttoenttbieonciottb ;he UwneitsebdalSl e,r,vtiackeewoiullr fin a d rl u an s, d as an o d f oslidn'giantg robes about us" with the P oe t ; v i s i t the st g udio of the Artist--; and E d w e r a y l o n u u r m i b m e p r a o r f ti , a , l T ex H it E ici vir sm o a ß t the LD ~in Theatre. richness and variety will be a Magazine ; and arrangements have been made to eils embellisthedh its columns with sketches froin•some of the b est pee of a. 4.

TRANQUILLITY OF IRELAND.—I will DOW, my Lord (addressing Sir N. W. Brady, the new Lord Mayor of Dublin), turn to another agreeable topic, which relates to the peace and tranquillity which pre vails at this the time of your inauguration ; for that peace and tranquillity I am willing to give my full share of approbation to the exertions of your predecessor ; but at the same time, I must say that it has been owing in a main degree to the good feeling and good sense of the great body of your fellow-cititizens. I cannot, on that occasion, but mention with peculiar sa tisfaction that tranquillity prevails, not only in this city, but throughout the whole portion of this part of the empire ; and this at a time when the designs of misguided men had produced serious disturbances in other portions of the united empire. I cannot sufficiently express my commendation of the conduct of your fellow citizens, who, without any extraordinary exertion of power, or without any extraordinary assistance called for by the constituted authorities, did, by their own free act, defeat those emissaries of mischief who were sent from England to excite and disturb us, and who so utterly failed in that attempt, that they have been, I trust, effectually discouraged from renewing any efforts of a similar nature.—Speech of the Lord Lieu tenant at the Municipal Inauguration of Monday. TAME Fisir.—ln Anstruther Wester, there is a fishpond of considerable length and breadth, and fourteen feet in depth, and which was dug out of the solid rock a few years ago, at no little trouble and expense, by the late Captain James Black, R.N., in the garden of his marine villa. The pond communicates with the sea by means of a small passage bored through the rock, so that its water rises and falls with the tide. It is stocked with cod, turbot, an d fl ounders ; a few l o bsters and crabs were also introduced, but these car ried on such a cruel and incessant warfare against their more defenceless neighbours in the pond, that the Cap tain was obliged to exterminate them. The fish are very tame, and flock towards the peison who feeds them like poultry in a barn-yard. Of course they are too great favourites to be cautzht for gracing the table ; but oe .seful ius nl,t it,ko nature and habits of the finny tribe.—The Poultry Yard. server. SlR—This question, in my opinion, I have never yet seen treated in that sphere of reasoning which belongs to it; therefore, with your permission, I offer what in my mind seems to bear most forcibly upon it. The public feel themselves heavily oppressed by an evil, and which evil is, that their bread shall not be af forded them on those fair terms at which it might be ob tained. This is the evil, and which is the effect of some cause. Now for the cause. The cause is this :—Re strictive laws, prohibiting the supply of that food, or laying upon it such a tax as makes it a prohibition. Now the cause for that? The owners of the soil of the coun try, being themselves the Lords, or representatives of the people to keep up, or increase the value of their land (as they suppose) and income derived from it, pass such laws, tending to keep the price of corn (and other pro duce from the land) high ; consequently, the price or rent of the land, which high price making food difficult to obtain, especially by the working class, hence is the burden felt, and a cry for its removal, under the appel lation of the " Corn•lavva." Now, let us inquire the pretence the landowner has for inflicting what is called by the other party, and the bulk of the community " an evil." This is his argument, as he remarks, " I have a large family, and I cannot educate and bring them up in that manner suitable to their rank and dignity under sixty thousand pounds per annum." "It is very true," answers the civilian, " as things are ; but, my Lord, al low me to inquire, of what does this large expenditure consist ?" " That is very soon answered," replies his Lordship, " there's my servants' wages, myself and sons' tailors, shoemakers, cOachmakers, saddlers, wife and daughters' milliner's bills, and many such others too long to detail." " But," replies the civilian, " suppose I put your Lordship in a way of getting all these mat ters for forty thousand pounds, then in that case won't that sum do as well as the sixty thousand pounds ?" " Aye," says my Lord, " it would, I can't deny, but how can that be done 9" "0, very well," says the civilian, " but mark with attention what I shall observe—you mention your tailors', shoemakers', &c. &c. bills ; pray, my Lord, do you know what your tailor charges for your suit of clothes ? Did you ever, my Lord, weigh your suit of clothes 9" " No, never." " Well do so, and I dare say you will find it to weigh about 81bs. Cloth is made of wool. Do you know, my Lord, what price your steward obtained for your last shearing of your prime Spanish and Saxon breed of sheep ?" My Lord— " I believe about 2s. per pound." " Oh, my Lord, you surely must forget, for your whole suit of clothes only weighs eight pounds, and at two shillings per pound is only 165., and you say that your suit of clothes is charged 121., why then, it would seem that the price of the material, the wool, of which the clothes are made, is of small value compared to the price charged by the tailor. 0, hut, my Lord, we forget. The wool was sheared, which cost something ; then it was cleaned, at a further expense ; then combed, at more ; then dyed, at further ; then spun, still more ; then wove, more again ; then dressed and smoothed, again more ; then st y hb o ae u np r tailor euut bought ,audcou it, tri and then hevedtomake it t oo t k your o your measure, sizu and together, t r: h b e e n au h t i i s ful m a e s n fell wesee to i w t now w r fitt t i o work ngto to e your sear it body; and this is what is called manual labour ; and you, my Lord, may well call out, what a deal of labour, and what dear labour, too! So indeed it is. Now, we will inquire about the labour, as we have inquired about the wool, and see what makes the price of that, for the labour seems to be nearly the whole cost of your suit of clothes. Oh, here is a labourer coming. Here good man, I want to speak to you, to ask you a question. " Pray what are you ?" " Please your honour, I'm a labourer." " What wages do you get ?" " I get 4s. a day." " Could you not work for less 9" " How can L for I've a wife and nine children to keep, and look at the price of bread. _I have 4s. a week to pay for rent, and then there's only 20s. to buy bread, &c., and as dear as it is." " But what do you pay so much rent for ?" " Because my landlord says that joiners' and bricklayers' wages are so high he cannot afford to build houses to charge less rent." " Well, but suppose that joiners, bricklayers, &c., would lower their wages 9" Oh, then, I suppose we should have rent cheaper, but I suppose the won't, while bread is so dear." " But they are going to take off the Corn-laws, and bread will be cheaper." " Oh, that alters the case ; then rent being lower, and bread cheaper, then I can, and we all can, work cheaper, and the tailor and shoemaker can do the same, then, all things will be cheaper ; Oh, yes, we can all afford, then . , very well, to look at lower wages." Now, my Lord, I believe we are beginning to dive into the very marrow of the question. Some say, if bread is lower, they will all work lower. Now, let's see what you will have to pay your tailor next time. I find this suit of clothes ofyours has been through about twelve hands since it came off the sheep's back, and so the price of the wool is run up from 16s. to 121., and so, my Lord, if you will weigh your boots and shoes, your harness, aye, and your car- ' riages too, you will find, in the same way, that the material forms but a small part of the cost, but that it consists, almost wholly, in the expense, or paying for labourers, employed in putting together the article, whatever it may be. Now, my Lord, I have ,shown you, that the expenditure of your family, consisting of articles, requiring much labour, that by reducing the price of labour you reduce the expenditure of your family, which is to be done by reducing the price of bread, and which is to be done by taking of the Corn laws ; then will your land, at a rental of 40,0001. per annum, be as valuable and useful to your family as the 60,0001., and which you are now obliged to wring from your tenantry; but that is not all, which I will directly explain. Here, says my Lord, comes my neighbour, Lord Fortune Threadbare. I know you can't convince him ; no—if it were as clear as that two and two are four, or that the sun gires light at midday." " Tush, tush ! not a word ; his estate is mortgaged over head and ears, and his business is not altogether like mine, done by tailors, Sce , but mostly by those fellows called Jews, and who will have five per cent. interest for every 100/., besides a good bonus." " Civilian—Then, poor fellow, I -,:an give him no comfort, for if he did not know how to take care of his estate when it was his own, I am afraid that he would to-.e it again if it were released to to him ; and I hope that Englishmen are no longer to be disgraced by having such men to prescribe law for their Government, and to make bread high priced, so that the poor working man shall pay their debts of honour (disgrace I mean). But, methinks, I hear some one say that we must keep a protecting duty. I have shown that the value of the produce of the land, and conse quently the value of the land itself, ranks in proportion to the value of labour, and vice ver.sa. But we have always been beginning at the wrong end of the argu ment, land instead of labour, to show, whereas the proof is in the labour, and all the results. If the price of land is reduced from 30,000/. to 20,000/., and that 20,0001. can produce, on account of labour being ie7 dueed as much as the 80,000/. could have done, cense quently the landowner loses nothing. But mark the benefit produced by the change, which I promised •to show. Manufacturers, upon which this country de pends, will be virtually benefited, inasmuch as labour being reduced, goods will be produced lower, hence will soon be put a stop to the rapid strides now making against us by foreign nations supply ing themselves, owing to the high price of our goods consequent upon the price of • Eng lish labour. Again, protect ! who ?—protect! what ? The owners of the land : and who are they? One, perhaps, out of every 10,000 of the people. And what of the 9,999 ? They must suffer ; and what else ? why, the evil suffered by them will in a short time revert on the few, for commerce being blighted by protecting them, the few—and manufactures, being produced elsewhere, the wealth of the nation, its industry, being m a d e nuga t or y--then, my Lord, you wou ld, I believe, be glad of the 40,000/. per annum now offered —.when you would, I believe, find that you must content yourself, perhaps, with something like one-tenth part, or 4,0001. per annum." I know, Mr. Editor, that I have drawn this picture true and correct, and I hope that such of our legislators who may glance it over may take advantage of the warning given by it. I assure you lam no meddler in politics, but I have common sense, and a question of such vital importance to our interests as the one before us cannot have escaped my observation and reflection. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A CIVILIAN. N.B. Speaking of price of labour remind s me of a late visit I made to Germany, where, bei ng a few days about 10 miles from Dresden , 1 s p o ke to a man wh o attended a flour and saw mill, and asked the wages he got, who answered me with great glee that he was very comfortable, having only two children, and be had, ac cording to their money, about 6d. a day. I staid in Wurtzburg, in Bavaria, a few days, and a tailor told me that he kept fourteen men at work, and the most that he gave hi s b es t men was about Is , per day ; yet I saw no distress and wretchedness as in this rich land, where labour is 4s. per day and upwards. The day mail performs the journey between London and Dover in seven hours and a half, beating the night mail by upwards of two bours,—K eid i sh ob. CAB ACCIDENT.-01 1 Wednesday morning about nine o'clock, as a poor woman named Mosely was crossing the end of Down-street, in Piccadilly, she was run against by the cab No. 93, and one of the wheels passed over her right leg, fram urine: the large and small I),ties just I),ve thu She was taken to St. George's Hospital. The Committee who have the management of the intended building, resolved that it should go to public competition, and advertised for plans and designs some months ago, to be delivered at Mercers' Hall or or before the Ist of August last. In pursuance of that resolution, thirty-eight plans were, we understood, de livered. They occupy the Hall and principal room, and consist, each design, of from eight to fourteen draw ings, mostly framed, some in gilt, and others in maho gany frames. We have not seen them, but we have been informed that such is the case. The inspection has not been extended beyond the Committee, and the architects whose names we are about to give. It seems that the well-known first-rate architects of the metropolis, such as Sir Robert Smirke, Cockerell, Decim us B urton, Wi lk i ns, Barry, Joseph Gwilt, Hard wieke, &c., would not enter into a general competition, consequently the public will not be favoured with a specimen of their works for this great national under taking. The Committee, we think, have adopted a plan which entitles them to great credit for impartiality, by the mode of selecting the best designs in accordance with their written instructions. They have requested and obtained the acquiesence of Sr Robert Smith, Mr. Joseph Gwilt, and Mr. Hardwick, to select from the thirty-eight plans five of the best, out of which five the Committee are to select three for the premiums. There are, we are assured, some very splendid and admirably executed drawings amongst the designs ; yet the internal buildings and arrangements of :•0 ne of them are such as will place them out of the pale of competition, differing very much, if not wholly, from the printed instructions. This circumstance is greatly to be regretted, as the restrictions appear to us to be as clear and explicit as any ever issued for any public work ; yet in justice to those who have complied with the instructions, it may be said that it must be ex tremely difficult to avoid such departures ; at the same time, we hope that there will be found amougst the thirty-eight designs some splendid specimens of taste and genius for a building worthy of this most noble metropolis. The Mercers' Company have, as before stated, al- lowed, at considerable inconvenience to themselves, the whole of the plans and drawings to be put up in their hall, and we believe the public will, under certain re gulations, shortly have a❑ opportunity of viewing them. Great progress has been made in settling with the freeholders and tenants of Sweeting's•alley, and other premises adjoining, for the erection of the New Royal Exchange upon an enlarged site. We may, therefore, soon expect to see the ground cleared, and, perhaps, early in the next year, the first stone may be laid. The Committee who have the management of this interesting and important work are twenty-four gentle men, twelve (with the master) of the Court of As sstants of the Mercers' Company, and twelve selected out of a Land Committee of the Corporation, at the head of which is Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, who is the Chairman of the joint Committee. Mr. Jones has been many years Chairman of the London-bridge Com mittee, and for talent, integrity, and independence, is as well known in the City as the arena of the Royal Ex change itself—a better selection could not have been made. W e hope shortly to be able to give the decision of the three eminent architects whom we have mentioned, and the consequent selection of the Committee for the pre miums. It is proper to copy the following from the instruc tions to which we have referred:- 3. That the new building, being the Grecian, Ro man, or Italian style of architecture, having each front of stone of a hard and durable quality. 4. That the designs offered by the several candidates must all be drawn to the same scale, viz. ten feet six to one inch and a half, exhibiting the plans of each story, with an elevation of each front, and longitudinal and transverse sections, together with an interior elevation. That a copy of the lithographic plan be also sent by each candidate drawn in Indian ink to the same scale as the design, and showing correctly the outline of the proposed building, the site thereof tinted red, and of all adjacent buildings in Indian ink. That all the draw ings sent by each candidate shall be tinted with brown Indian ink only, and that no perspective drawings of the designs shall be received except two, which shall be taken from the situations specified in the lithographic plan, to be delivered to the parties. 6. That a specification be required to accompany each design, giving a general written description of the building, and such other information as cannot clearly be shown on the drawings, stating also what stone and other materials are proposed for use in the different parts of the building, and specifying par ticularly the estimated expense of carrying the designs into execution in the most substantial and complete man ner in every respect for occupation, the expense not to ex ceed 1.50,000/. 10. That for the design to which the Committee shall award the first premium, the sum of 3001. shall be given ; that for the second design the sum of 2001. ; and for the third the sum of 1001. The successful compe titor to whom the first premium is awarded, shall not be considered as having necessarily a claim to be entrusted with the execution of the work ; but if not so em ployed, and his designs are carried into execution, a further sum of 5001. shall be paid to him ; the Com- mittee retaining possession of all the drawings for which the premiums have been given. Lord Brougham and the Marchioness of Clan ricarde, with her family, visited the Polytechnic Insti tution, Regent-street, on Thursday. They were de lighted with the beautiful spe c i mens o f D aguerreotype, by Mr. J. 'F. Cooper. They partook of the cookery performed by the reflectors from the fire 100 feet from the meat The Duke of Manchester, and the Marquis of Conyngham and his daughter, were also at the Institu tution on the preceding day. A considerable sensation was excited in Salisbury last week, in consequence of the Earl of Radnor having summoned before the County Magistrates our Con servative Representative, Wadham Wyndham, Esq., to answer a charge of having trespassed on the Noble Earl's property in pursuit of game. Mr. Wyndham attended in person to answer the charge, and reminded Earl Radnor that he had given him (Mr. W.) permis sion to shoot over the land in question more than ten years back, and that he had yearly availed himself of such permission. The Noble Earl hereupon withdrew the charge, with the observation that the fact of his having given permission had escaped his memory.— Dorset Chronicle. HIGH PRICE OF LAND.—At a sale by auction, by Messrs. Crockett and Son, on Monday last, at Brat. ton, four acres and one rood of arable land, situated in the neighbourhood, fetched the very high price of 6001. ; and half an acre and one rood of orchard obtained 1401. -- Devizes Gazette. TII E WEST PENNARD ROYAL CHEESE.— Tile Royal Cheese manufactured by the spirited inha bitants of West Pennard was last week opened to public inspection. The Committee appointed to manage were in attendance. Several samples of supe rior cheese, of the largest sizes, made from the con tributing dairies, were placed around, which s erve d only as foils to set off in contrast the mighty moun tain o f curd standing on a platform underneath, surrounded by the machinery constructed for its completion at a great expense, consisting of a self acting press, of forty tons power, a dividing vat or mould, in which it was first formed, and crane for turn ing it, with an elaborately -carved follower, in beautiful Spanish mahogany, by Mr. Halleday, of Chilton Priory, which has given the royal arms, encircled in a wreath of oak and laurel leaves, with a most spirited effect, to the surface of the cheese. Its figure is a regular octa gon, thirty-seven inches in diameter, giving a circum ference of nine feet three inches, and twenty-two in height, the produce of seven hundred and thirty-seven cows, and computed, upon the lowest calculation, to weigh upwards of ten hundred weight.—Sherburne Journal. A LONG STORY..—M. Hoverlant, ex-member of the Conseil des Cinq Cents, has written the history of Tournai, his native town. A fact unprecedented in literary annals, he has extended it to the 114th printed volume ! M. Hoverlant, who is advanced in age, lately lost his eyesight, when it was feared that his " History of Tournai" would stop at its 114th volume ; but this indefatigable chronicler has since found an obliging neighbour, who writes under his dictation, and the 115th volume of the " History of Tournai" will shortly be published. An EAGLE IN SHEFFIELD.-011 Saturday afternoon, while a working man was engaged in a field, at Whirlow, his attention was arrested by a great number of small birds giving chase to one of very ex traordinary size ; he immediately procured a fowling piece, joined in the " hue and cry," and succeeded in winging the " monster of the air," in front of Mr. Waterfall's house ; on taking hold of the bird, which 'turned out to be a very fine brown eagle, the latter seized the sportsman in a way he did not anticipate, and before he could release himself, had to call out lustily for assistance, which being speedily at hand the " big bird" was finally carried off in triumph. It mea sured across the wings five feet four inches.—Shellield Iris. . A PRIZE FIGHTER'S BENEFIT.—In the In solvent Debtors' Court on Thursday Reuben Gadd, known as Reuben Martin, an ex-pugilist, applied to be liberated on bail. He only owed 581.

W e copy from the Calcutta Government Gazette of June 5, the following official despatch from the British Envoy a►►d Minister at the Court of Shah Shoojah-001-Moolk, addressed to the Secretary to the Govirranent of India with the Governor-Gene ! ral. " Although a little flattering to the Shah and our Government," alleges an Indian Contemporary, " it is nevertheless a satisfactory document, con firming all the news already published respecting the conduct of the Baraksye Chiefs, and the en trance of the British army into Candahar OFFICIAL DESPATCH. POLITICAL DEPARTMENT, FORT WILT TAM, 3D JUNE, 1839.—The following official despatch from the Envoy and Minister at the Court of Shah Shooja-001-Mooik, dated the 24th of April last, is published for general information : (Copy.) TO T. H. AIADDOCK, ESQ. Office of the Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. SIR—In my letter to your address of the 1241 instant, I ventured to record an opinion to time effect, that the lapse of a few days would suffice to show the high estimation in which his Majesty Shah Shoojah-001-Moolk is held by his country men, as well as the wisdom of the policy pursued by the British Government, throughout the whole of the proceedings in which we are now engaged. 2. Yesterday the Shah, with his disciplined troops, made a march of 22 miles to lleh Hadgee, where we had the satisfaction of learning that the Sirdars were about to decamp. We have since ascertained that they actually set out about three o'clock yesterday evening, attended by about 200 followers. Their conduct to the last was marked by meanness and rapacity. Whilst with one hand they were selling their stores of grain to the merchants of the city, with the other they were practising every species of extortion and violence towards the peaceable inhabitants, and they de parted amidst the execrations of all classes. 3. This morning we marched upon Candahar, a distance of about 18 miles, and we are now encamped within two miles of the city. The spectacle which presented itself to us on the road, was the most interestin g one it ever fell to my lot to witness. His Excellency Lieut.-General Sir John Keane, with the army of the Indus, was one march in our rear, our advance haring been made on an erroneous calculation of the distance, which, owing to the heat of the weather, was too great to be performed by the European troops. The Shah's disciplined troops were be hind us, and his Majesty advanced, attended only by the officers of the mission and his own imme diate retainers. At every hundred yards of our progress, we were met by bands of well mounted and well armed men, all tendering their allegiance to his Majesty, whilst the peaceable inhabitants of the country assembled in crowds, and manifested their joy at the Shah's restoration in the most un qualified terms. 4. Tranquillity is restored—the people flock, to our Camp with the greatest confidence. There is no longer any apprehension of scarcity, and even the confidential servants of the Sirdars, several of whom have visited me, declare their satisfaction at the change of Government, and state that they would sooner have joined the Shah, but for the dread, that some evil would have been inflicted on their families, whom they must have left in the City. 5. His Majesty proposed to send out a party in the hope of overtaking the fugitive Sirdars, and they certainly appear deserving of little considera tion after the wickedness and folly which they have displayed, in spite of repeated and solemn warnings. It doubtless would be dangerous to allow them to remain at large, and excite disturbances in the country; but I was apprehensive that, in the pre sent excited state of men's minds, they might, if seized by the Shah's party, be subjected to unne+ cessary cruelty ; I therefore prevailed upon his Ma jesty to permit me to make the Sirdars one more offer, which, if accepted, will enable them to retire to our territories in safety. Any provision which his Lordship the Governor-General may please to assign to them will, of course, fall far short of what they would have received had they at once come into our terms, and I am of opinion that five hun dred rupees per mensem for each of them would be an ample provision. 6. It is my intention, therefore, to write to the Sirdars through Moollah Nussoo, their con fidential adviser, and I am not without hope that they will come into my terms, deserted as they are by nearly all the followers who left the city with them, and surrounded as they must be by dangers, and difficulties of every description. 7. I now proceed to detail the progress of events from the date of my last communication. 8. Since the dispatch of my letter to your ad dress, dated the 12th instant, giving the substance of my communicatims with the Sirdars, nothing of sufficient importance occurred to require a sepa rate report. 9. In the Kajak Pass we found a natural ob stacle of a much more formidable nature than we anticipated, but it was speedily surmounted by the energy of the British troops. Brigadier A mold, who went to reconnoitre the Pass, suddenly came upon a small party detached by the Sirdars, and was fired upon. The party, however, made a pre cipitate retreat, and it was evident that the. Sirdars had been surprised by the rapidity of our advance. 10. In the same Pass letters were intercepted from the Sirdars, addressed to the authorities in Sevee and the Eastern Provinces, stating that they intended to advance and oppose us in Pesheen, and calling upon all true INlalioinedans to join in a religious warfare against the i nva di ng i n fid e l s. We further learnt that the Sirdars were still unremitting in their endeavours to excite the same feelings of animosity against us at Candahar. 11. It subsequently came to our knowledge that Rahim Dii Khan, and Mehr Dil Khan, with a number of other Chiefs, and a body of between two and three thousand cavalry, had quitted Can dahar with a view of annoying us in every possible way, leaving Kohun Dil Khan to guard their in terests in the City. The main body advanced as far as Killa Futtoollah, whence they detached parties to the vicinity of Dunda Goolam. These parties succeeded in killing several of our fol lowers who had incautiously strayed, and in carry ing off two of my elephants which had been, against orders, taken f or th e p ur p ose o f procur i ng fodder to too great a distance from the camp. They also put us to considerable inconvenience for a short time by diverting the stream which supplied our camp with water. 12. On the morning of the 20th instant Hajee Khan Kakur, who had accompanied the Sirdars from Candahar, and who is decidedly the most powerful chief in these parts, reported his arrival, with about 200 horsemen, to pay his respects to the Shah. He was escorted into Camp, and received with all honour, both by his Majesty and myself. This defection, it was obvious would at once prove fatal to the hopes of the Sirdars. 13. On the same day two other persons of consi derable influence came in, namely , Abdool M u j ee d P u k s hn su n n n d d za da Khan, ,a Moolah, Governor ofK ha L n a , s t h h , e a s n o d n of G ISlnliiaamh Akhoondzada, who, I have good g rounds for believ ing was one of those who were most violentin staring up t h e popu lation to oppose us. 14. Th e secession of these individuals, and the near approach of our troops, filled the Sirdars with consternation, and they fell back rapidly upon Candahar. - 15. The ancient nobles of the land have been nearly exterminated by the rapacious tyranny of the Baraksye usurpers ; hut it was gratifying to find that the advent of the Shah was cordially welcomed in every stage of his progress by every man of re spectability who has been left in the country, and his Majesty's reception at Candahar, as above de tailed, has fully justified the opinions that have been pronounced, as to his popularity with all classes of his subjects. 16. I shall report further proceedings in the course of to-morrow. I have, &c., (Sigred) W. H. MACNAGHTEN, Envoy and Minister. Camp at Candahar, the 24th April, 1839. MOST MELANCHOLY.—A Correspondsnt writes thus from one of the new cities in the South :—" I am dying of ennui. Indeed I am. The city is a desert ;—no business—no a musements —no anything—almost no no. thing. I have seen but one—only one handsome woman here, and she had her defects. I haven't a single button on all my shirts ; and my thumbs are quite sore with trying to make pins do instead." -4 me. rican Paper. Just published, Price 3s.
