IMPERIAL PARLIAIENT. SOUSE OF COALWONS. July 19. (Continued from_ our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) sUPPLY.—r EtE ADMIRALTY. Upon the first resolution, Sir D. L. EVANS reminded the House that upon the discussion which had taken place some time since u p on the subject of the naval retired list allusions had been made by himself, which had been replied to by the Right Hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Admiralty, with reference to a gallant officer, Sir G. Westphal. What he (Sir D. L. Evans) bad stated was, that Sir George had made application to Lord Auckland to be employed, but that he had been unable to obtain a ship. The Right lion. Gentleman, on the contrary, bad stated his belief Chat Sir George. Westphal could not have been very anxious to obtain employment, because, had he been so, his friendship wieta Sir C. Cockburn would most probably have secured him one. This statement had wounded the feelings of that gallant officer, and he was now requested to read to the House a communication which had just passed between the Gallant Admiral al luded to and Sir George Westphal. That communication was as follows: " 6, Clifford-street, July 17. " Dear Westphal,—ln consequence of my having seen i n t h e newspapers what passed in the House of Com mons respecting you some evenings ago, I consider it to be due to you to state that you quitted yo ur s t at i on as captain of my fl2g-ship (ma the North Americaa and West India station owing to your extremely dangerous state of health, from fever contra c t e d by your profes sional exertionsin the West Indian climate, which, I assure you, caused me at the time very great regret, as I cannot hesitate to say I considered, and still consider, you to be one of the mo s t a bl e an d e fficient officers of your rank in our naval service; and, as you were fully aware of my intention (if circumstances had caused me again to hoist my flag) to have applied for you as my captain, I cannot but fear this consideration may have, in some degree, prevented your pressing for employ ment, as you might otherwise have done. I will still hope, however, that your gallant war services, and wounds received by you in battles with our enemies afloat and ashore, may procure for you yet sach further command as may prevent our country losing the benefit of your services in the higher ranks of the profession, while you possess such health and strength as you hap pily now do.—Believe me, my dear Westphal, always faithfully and truly yours, " G. Cocitstinzt. " Captain Sir George Westphal, R.N." Sir F. T. BARING should be sorry if anything bad escaped him upon the occasion referred to which could be regarded as derogatory to the service of which the Gallant Captain was an ornament, or which could be hurtful to the feelings of any man• lie remembered it had been insinuated in the c ourse of the debate that persons who had not interest could not obtain employ ment; and Sir George Westphal's name having been mentioned, he (Sir F. Baring) stated that that gentleman was connected with Sir George Cockburn, the admiral of the fleet, and that if he had applied for employment Sir George Cockburn would have brought his name favourably before the First Lord. He still retained the impression that, for some time, Sir George Westphal bad not applied for active employment. Admiral DUNDAS had known Sir George Westphal for many years, and could bear testimony to the value of that officer. The fact of the case was this, however, Sir George Westphal had been three years and one month at sea as a post-captain, and he required , there fore, two years and eleven months to complete hi s time. He had not applied for general service at th e Admiralty, but he beleived that in 1836 or 1337, when there was a prospect of a war with America, h e did write for a com mand, as he knew the coast. Sir D. L. EVAN:;—I distinctly deny that statement. Admiral DUNDAS—I don't know whether language of that sort is permitted. Out of doors it would not be. I know thit.—(Cries of " Order!") Sir D. L. EVANS—Eh? what? Very well, lam quite prepared.—(Loud cries of " Order," in the midst of which Mr. E. B. DENisox rose.) The SPEAKER—Oder, order! The Hon. and Gal lant Member for Westminster having said something offensive to the Hon. and Gallant Mcmber for Green wich, will, I am sure, see the necessity of retracting the offensive cxpressiun. Sir D. L. EVANS—If I have said anything contrary to the forms of the House I will retract; but I will re peat that Sir G. Westphal applied to Lord Auckland for active emplo3 ment. _ _ Admirtil DUNDAS—I speak by documents in the Admiralty. I don't know anything of applications made to Lord Auckland. I don't understand these sort of obaervatiens.—(Order, order.) The SPEAKER—The Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster must retract his expression. Sir DE LACY EVANS—I stated that Sir G. West phal . had applied for employment to Lord Auckland. I•have it from himself that he did so, and I refuse—l don't see why I should retract it. I don't think that the language of the Hon. and Gallant Admiral was called for. lam in th- service as well as himself.—(Order.) The SPEAKER—The Hon. and Gallant Officer does not appear 10 understand my observation. He has al lowed an expression to escape him which is personally offensive to the Gallant Admiral. lam sure he did not mean to say anything personally offensive to the Gallant Admiral, and that he will withdraw the expression. Sir D. L. EVANS—I am quite ready to obey your order, Sir, on all subjects of form, an d l am rea dy to withdraw any expression that was offensive to the Gal lant Officer.—(Hear.) Admiral lAINDi.S—Of course I am perfectly satis fied.—(Cheers.) I rose only to appiy to defend Sir G. Westphal, whom I have known a good many years more than the Gallant General. I spoke only of the Admirait records. The matter then dropped, and the resolution was agreed to. _ _ - Oa the vote of 50,0004 for civil contingencies, &c., Mr. WILLIAMS moved, as an amendment, to reduce it by 2501., the sum paid to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor for the interment of the Queen Dowager, and to substitute a vote of 49,7801. The House divided; the numbers were— For the amendment Against it ... 29 ... 37 ..• -8 Majority ... The resolution was then agreed to. NAVAL MEDALS. Upon another vote, Sir GEORGE PECIIELL called the attention of the House to the case of certain surviving cfficers, seamen, and marines who were present in a successful action, specially approved by the Admiralty, whose claims for naval medals had been rejected. Si? F. BARING said it was well known that the ao tion was commenced before declaration of war, and took plane under peculiar circumstances, of a rather painful na ture. A Committee had been appointed to icquire into the claims of those who claimed to be entitled to medals, and the Admiralty had acted upon their report, Captain SCOBELL said the question was, whether the Government had acted on a right or a wrong prin ciple in the di4tribution cf the medals; if wrong it ought to be immediately remedied. The cfrect of the principle which they had adopted would be to give the smallest ship boy who had no merit of his own a medal, while abla officers, who by accident were not actually present in the engagement, would be obliged to go medallesa. The number who had nut received medals was so small that he thought the Government might properly award them medals, if they found on inquiry that the services in which they had beets engaged entitled them to such honorary distinctions. After a few words from Colonel CHATTERTON and ()tiler lion. Members the subject, dropped. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to draw the atten tion of the Noble Lord at the liesd of the Woods and Forests to the case of Anne Hicks, who had been die. possessed of a house. fie gave notice that he should, on a future occasion, make a motion on the subject. The remainder or the items were then received. The Grand Jury Coss (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. MERCANTILE MARINE AMEND'IENT BILL. The i10ti,4. - Ivv iv into Commit . ..tea ou this ;Bid. Citius ,- 33 1 to IS iueluAve were agreed Cu without • MII3 iOn. Oa elpiaie_l7,_ litr. ANDERSON moved an amendment for the pur pose of modi;ying the system of advance notes. He propo4ed to make these advance no:es granted by the o i pown2 r, reco7eraole trorn Lim under all the ctrcuin stances, whether the sailor deserted or not. This, ho thought, would be to . .make the s hi powner careful to grant them o!.,iy to &Athirst of knownchar,:tter and repu tation. Air. JAMESCLAY supported the amendm en t Mr. LABOUCifEirS, said that thou g h t h e system of a:;vance n , .?tea was open to twiny objections, yet he Should not consent to Me present amendment, because he thonAt it wotdd lead ti, io tO-e entire auelition.ok the m and be the cause of many hardship s to the Sat! or Af t." Elort discussion amendment was with drawn, The clause was then agreed to. The tetn a. ,, k. ing clauses of the Bill wero then agreed to, as also were the schedules. Mr. L A.BotionE RE proposed a c l ause to empower any naval "r consula r officer, in case of A shipwreck abroad, to hold an inquiry shipwreck. intjthe circum s t a nces of such The clause wa s agm , , Mr. ANDERSON e- to. clause of the Act ith ant'civrei a clause to repeal the Victoria, chap. 112, which camp's merchant seamen-v - r h ho enter a vessel of war from for(eitare of their wages. Sir F. BARING said particu lar directions had been issued from the Admiralty on h . prec ,,tion would be taken to prevent the and every recurre nce of these instance s the unnecessary of abandonment. The great protection to the eic.n , system, however, was a pr , , ~ dinthia diqcus. seaman, who ought not to be overlooke clause e tf)deprive sion; and he confessed it would be imprudent him of that protection by allowing this in troduced, which would have the eff,ct of leavingto be' the sea- Juan eLtirely at the mrrcy of the master. Mr. RICARDO was very much astonished at th e course taken by the Right Hon. Barooet the Finn Lord of the Admiralty. Richert° he had laboured under the inspres.ion that the law now complained of was insti tuted for thepurpose of manning tho navy, but now it appeared teat a frecond object of it was to protect the seaman against the ill-tree.ment of the master. Well, if that were so., why not allow the seaman to desert into the merchant r , i.rvice as we n as the navy? He for one had Io faith in Admiralty regulations, and as he thought V -, e existing law acted nnjuitly towards the shipowner, 114- should certainly support the intro duction of the clause. Mr. . • WAWIT mho supported the clause. Sir . J. - GIIAUAM would be glad to know if the Hon. GRiltlem am.. , mr. AN Z2p.proposed theclause intended to divide. '-' 4 USON said he did. Sir J. GRAHAM said, under these circumstances he must request that the discussion be adjourned. I; was not right that an important question of this nature should run the risk of being carried by reason of the thinness of the House. He was not quite sure that it would be possible to man the navy without im pressment, but certainly it was not possible to keep the navy in a state of efficiency without this power of aug• menting the service upon the volunteer principle. He should therefore oppose the clause. Mr. FORSTER thought no reason whatever had been given for the continuance of the power, and announced his intention to bring the salvage question under con sideration early next session, unless in the meantime it was taken up by the Government. After a few words from Admiral DUNDAS, Mr. CLAY reminded the Committee, the clause would not prevent the seaman joining a man-of war while he was engaged in a merchant ship if ho so thought fit, but it would prevent an improper influence being used to in duce him to do so. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the clause ... Against it Majority ... The clause was accordingly lost. Mr. ANDERSON next moved the insertion of a clause to the effect that such provisions of the General Merchant Seamen's Act, 8 and 9 Vic., c. 112, and of the Mercantile Marine Act 1650, as compels seamen in the merchant service to obtain and produce register tickets, shall be repealed. Mr. LABOUCHERE opposed the clause, though he was quite ready to admit that there was ample room for improvement in the registration and ticket system. 32 -20 The clause was withdra . Wn. Mr. ANDERSON then moved a clause to the effect, that such provisions of this Act, and of the Mercantile Marine Act, 1850, as apply to the personal supervision of shipping masters over the engagements and discharge of seamen, shall only be applicable when the services of a shipping master for that purpose shall be required by the master, owner, or any seaman or seamen, concerned in such engagement or discharge; and nothing contained in the said Acta, or either of them, shall author i se a n y s hi pping master to interfere in the engageme n t s or dischar ge of any seaman or seamen , unless the master or owner, seaman or seamen, shall request the interference of such shipping master for that purpose. - Mr. LABOUCHERE said, although this proposal came before the House in the shape of a clause, it was nothing more nor less than a modest proposal to repeal that part of the Mercantile Marine Act which related to the suppression of the crimpi ng s y s t em . H e h a d received assurances from nearly every seaport in the kingdom of the admirable worki ng o f th a t A c t, an d h e hop e d nothing would be done to disturb its provisions. Mr. MOFFATT supported the clause, and denied that the operation of the Act had been at all satisfactory. After a few words from Mr. `YAWN the clause was negatived without a division. The preamble was then agreed to, and the House hav ing resumed the report was ordered to be recived on Monday. CONVEYANCE OF MAILS BY RAILWAYS BILL. Mr. C. LEWIS moved that this Bill be read a second time pro forma, in order to be printed with amendments. It involved mere matters of detail, which - could be better considered in Committee. Mr. GROGAN opposed the Bill, which he said was contrary to the existing law. Mr. GLYN would consent to the second reading, on the understanding that the discussion on the priciple of the Bill should take place in Committee. Mr. B. DENISON considered that the Bill would give to the Post-office authorities much greater control over railways than they ought to possess. The Bill, after some further discussion, was then read a second time, and ordered _to be committed on Monday. THE SUN, COUNTY COURTS. The report on the County Courts Further Extension Bill was brought up and agreed to. NEW FOREST. The New Forest Deer Removal Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be committed on Monday next. BOARD OF HEALTH. Lord SEYMOUR obtained leave to bring in a Bill to confirm certain provisional orders of the General Buard of Health. The Bill was sut:sequently brought in and read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The House then adj.urned. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) DIRECTOR- GENERAL FIELD TRAIN DEPARTMENT. — Colonel Gord , o, Inspector of the Royal C.rriage De partment at Woolwich, will succeed Major-General Lacey as Director-General of the Field Train Depart ment, and Lieutenant-Colonel Colquhoun, the present Assistant-Inspector of Carriages, will be promoted to the office of Inspector. . . _ CHELSEA HOSPITAL—The Spirit of army improve ment, vvhicti has worked so beneficial a change in the condition of the active portion of the service, has now extended it'elf to the admirable establishment founded by Charles the Second for the benefit of old soldiers. A new warrant has, we hear, been issued for re-mo delling the position of the in-pensioners, and augment ing their comforts in the decline of life. The whole body has been formed into six companies, under the com mand of as many commissioned officers. Each company has a company or colour sergeant at ls. per diem; 24 ser geants, at Bd.; 24 corporals, at 4d.; 6 drummers, at 3d; first-class privates, at 2d.; second-class privates, at lkd.; and third-class privates at ld. each, exclusive of rations, clothing, &c. No man is to be promoted to non commissioned rank unless he was a corporal or sergeant when in the ranks of the army; an important change, which will prevent the exercise of undue favouritism. Several other changes have been introduced, which, without putting the public to any additional charge, will add much to the credit of the noble asylumn, and the happiness of those who have selecied it as the locality of their declining days. ARMY RETlREMENT.—Lieutenant-Colonel Hay, 6th Dragoon Guards, is about to retire from the Service, after a period of upwards of 42 years in the army. THE CAPTAIN'S GOOD SERVICE PENSION. The vacant Captain's Good Service Pension, which fell to the patronage of the First Lord of the Admiralty on the promotion of Sir Joha Ross, has been bestowed on Captain Mitchell (1830), an officer who, in the course of his long service in the war, received eight wounds, and who has also served in two commands since the peace. A NELSONIAN TOUCH.—When her Majesty's ship Investigator reached the Sandwich Islands, on her way to Behring's Straits, she there fell in with her Majesty's surveying vessel Herald, Captain Kellett, C.B. The Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C. 8., had not at that time made her appearance, and as the season was drawing on, Commander M'Clure expressed a most anxious desire to proceed. Captain Kellett seemed, however, desirous that he should await the arrival of his consort, but at length consented that he should continue his voyage. Commander M'Clure lost no time, weighed anchor immediately, and made sail. Captain Kellett, however, on second thoughts, decided upon recalling him ; but it was too late, the Gallant Commander of the Investigator could brook no further delay and telegraphed is reply, " Important *Duty," "Own responsibility," and dashed on with an energetic determination to accomplish the object for which he had been fitted out. The Enterprise did not arrive for some days afterwards, and in consequence was compelled to pass the whole of the winter and last spring uselessly at Hong-Kong, while the Investigator reached the ice, made her entry good, and was frozen in. SICKNESS IN THE EAST INDIA SQUADRON.—By let ters received by the overland mail we regret to hear that Captain Austen, of her Majesty's ship Hastings, had been left behind at Madras for medical treatment, and the ship had proceeded on to Trincomalee under the command of Acting Captain Rice. We also hear that the Amazon had been very sickly; her Captain (Barker) had been attacked with small-pox; he was, however conval.scent, thoueh fearfully disfigured. KILKENNY DISTRICT. Major-General M•Donald, cumaJandiug the troops in the Kilkeuuy District, having proceeded on leave of absence on the 12th July, Lieu tenant- Coloe el. C. C. Johnson, Acting- Assis tau ear termaster-General, has taken the command. THE NEW ADMIRAL of THE FLEET —lt is with ex treme regret we h. ar that the newly-appointed Admiral of the Fieet, the Right Hon. George Cockburn, G.C - .8. is seriously ill. The Atheriialty have sent out orders to her Majesty's steam-sloop Hermes, 6, Commander Fishbourne, at the Cv-, to be refitted in Simon's Bay, and then to pro ceed to the East India Station, and follow the orders of Rear-Admiral Austen, C.B. SALE or HER MAJESTY'S STEAMERS ON THE LAKES OF CANADA. — Offers having been made to the authori ties to purchase her Majesty's two steamers Cherokee, 752 tons, and 200-horse power, and Minos, 400 toes, and 90-horse power, now out of commission on the Lakes of Canada, the Admiralty have ordered them to be sold, the Cherokee tor 4,000/., and the Minos for 1,2001. MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal.) MINES.-The market continues dull, but without ma terial change from our last week's report. Dividend shares are still sought for, as also the superior class of non-dividend mines; and it is almost unnecessary 'to add that, with very few exceptions, all others are neglected. Looking at the circumstances in which the business is placed, we incline to the opinion that it will now require some months to restore the market to a healthy tone; but, in the meantime, purchases may be effected of the class cf mines which may be designated progressive, on terms rendered highly favourable to the capitalists by the price being assimilated more closely than of late to their intrinsic value.

At the Cobre meeting, on Tuesday, the directors' report was highly satisfactory as to the progress of the undertaking during the past year, and highly encou raging for the future. A dividend of 4/. was declared, payable on the 24th install,. THE CaYsTAL PALACE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Sits,—The grevesc of,ction to the attempted per manency of the Crystal Palace appears to me to be, money having been subscribed with au understanding that the surplus (if any) should be " applied to pur poses strictly in connexion with the ends of the Exhibi tion, and the establishment of similar exhibitions in fu ture?' Certainly the thing has been well carried out, and for a worse execution of the design a debt might be due, instead of an overplus remaining. As you must, however, separate the admission money from that voluntarily sub s cribed, and when we reflect that a very small portion of the subscribers would take back even all their money devoted to this object, it surely is hardly worth while for a few individuals to show discontent as to the small per-tentage which alone could be refunded to them. " Paying back is double trouble," but as the editor of the T imes knows the name of his correspondent, perhaps he can also learn the amount of his subscription, and reconvey it to him, if the Commissioners approve of such a step. I never subscribed a farthing myself to the object in question, but if the medical men of the Bromptou Hos• pita were to certify that a sanitary winter garden would aid consumptive patients, I should much wish to contri bute to such an appropriation of the building, the more so if a mineral water reservoir, representing the Spas for all Nations, could be added for the benefit of those who seldom quit London. At Brompton Dr. Struve's plan is extraordinarily successful, and now we have an opportunity to seize what we may regret losing after it is too late—" facilis descensus averni" (as Colonel Sibthorp would name it)— " Sod revocare gradum, Hie labor hoc opus eat." The dinner to Mr. Fox at Derby explained so clearly the enterprise as to the conception, and the combination of lightness and strength, in proving the firmness of the building, and energy in the completion of it, that a few drops of rain, near the pillars, must not make us jeer at a national triumph, but send us to our own shower-baths.

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—OR Fri day evening a meeting of the board of directors and other members of the above institution was held at the committee room in Paternoster-row, for general business. The report for the past year was very satisfactory, both as regarded the increase of numbers and finances. The sum of 4751. had been distributed fur permanent and temporary assistance amongst necessitous members and their widows, of which 2101. had been granted for temporary relief to 23 persons, the same parties having received upwards of 8001. since the relief fund was opened. For permanent relief or annuities above 2601. had been expended upon 18 individuals, the same parties having previously received nearly 40 1. Four of the booksellers' assistants, receiving permanent relief, have had comfortable homes provided for them at the " Booksel lers' Provident Retreat," at Abbott's Langley, Herts. The whole sums granted for assistance since October, 1840, amount to 2,5001. The number of members now on the books is upwards of 500. The financial statement showed the income from life, annual subscriptions, and interest, to be 1,4441. 14s. 4d. ; the expenditure, after the investment of 810/. 19s. Id., left a balance in hand of 88/. 9s. 11d., and the amount of cash and interest in the bands of the Commis sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt at the date of last audit was 19,272/. 16, Bd. DESPERATE LEAP OF A FEMALE FROM A RIVER STEAM BOAT.- On Fri Jay afternoon the passengers on board the Bee steam-boat were thrown into a most painful state of excitement, in consequence of the following occurrence :—lt appears that about five o'clock a respectably-dressed female, who was sitting on the deck of the vessel, was observed to take off' her bonnet, apparently for the purpose of arranging her hair, when, in an instant afterwards, she leaped head foremost into the River, nearly facing Paul's wharf. The captain gave immediate orders to stop the boat ; but before that was accomplished, the paddle-wheels nearly came in contact with toe poor creature's head. Two watermen, named Jasper Clements and Edward ulyatt, having put off in their boats, they fortunately succeeded in rescuing the un fortunate woman just as she was sinking for the third time. She was removed to the Rose and Ball public-house, Ben nett's-hill, Thames-street, and owing to the medical treat ment of Mr. Harper, of Farringdon-street, recovered suffi ciently to be taken to the hospital. When restored to con sciousness she expressed regret that her life had been saved, and also that should she recover she would do it again, She also stated that she had left word at home what she intended to do. In a small basket, which she lett with her bonnet on the vessel, was a piece of paper, on which was written, " Marian Johnson, No. 23, Greenhill-rents. Smithfield," which, upon inquiry, turned out to be her name and address. MIDNIGHT OUTRAGE BY ARMED MEN.-Mr. Hine, of Macclesfield, silk-manufacturer, who resides at a lonely spot about three miles from that town, was placed in circumstances of considerable danger on Tuesday night. He and his family had retired to rest a little after midnight, and was aroused by hearing a loud knocking in front of the house, which they soon ascertained was made by five men, masked, and armed with pistols, bludgeons, and other wea pons of offence, who were attempting to force an entrance into the house. They peremptorily ordered him to open the door, and when asked what they wanted, they said all the money and valuables he had in the house. A parley of some du ration took place, Mr. Hine seeking to point out the illegality of their conduct. of course without any effect; for, instead of going away, they threatened the more violently, and de manded that they should have his son's watch if no money was forthcoming. Mr. Hine, jun., added his remonstrance to those of his father's, assuring them that they had no money in the house ; their place of business was at 111accles field, and there all the cash was kept. While this was going on, part of them continued their efforts to get into the house, and broke open a door at the back. There was then only one other door between them and Mr. Hine, and the latter knowing that, capitulated on hearing them approach it. The men got his son's watch and some few shillings in silver, and left the place, swearing that the inmates had got off sadly too cheap, and they might console themselves with the reflection that nothing worse had happened to them. We believe there was a blunderbuss in the house, but no use was made of it.

Upon the person of another man, the father of Hutton, above referred to, a strong kitchen-poker was found, and another deadly weapon, also a portion of en iron poker, about eighteen inches long, with a knob of an inch and a halt in diameter, was found on a man named Byrne, who is now in custody, and various other most formidable weapons were brought in in the course of the night. About midnight the town was somewhat quieter—the police parading the street, and every pre caution being taken by the magistrates to prevent a re newal of the disturbance. The special constables were ordered to be on duty in case of further rioting, but the town has since been quiet.— Caledonian Mercury. ritES FOR 1851 Bridgnorth Guodwood Chewt,in Mendip Downham Park Kaut:lord i Tt nbury IIIST.

A further inspection of the Irish census suggests, in addition to the observations previously made, some con siderations which cannot well fail to secure the notice of those who take an interest in population returns, and which at the same time are not unimportant to the general reader. Leaving out of the calculation the myriads who have recently emigrated from Ireland, and referring only to the excessive mortality which is now the subject of arith metical demonstration, it is important to observe that this great excess of deaths over births has taken place in a country in which the generality of the population were in that state of simple poverty which is favourable to the increase of numbers. Dr. Price (writing in 1783) observes that " there is reason to believe that poor countries . . . . in crease !aster than rich countries. The reason is ob vious. The greatest enemies of population are the arti ficial wants, the accumulation of property, and the luxury and vices which are the constant attendant of opulence, and which prevent a regular and early union of the sexes. The inhabitants of poor countries are more simple, more healthy, and more virtuous; and, wanting little besides food, families are no burden, and the prolific powers of nature have free scope to display themselves." He then says, perhepe Ireland is one in>tance of this. If we may de pend on an acc,unt in the Philosophical Transactions' the number of people in Ireland in 1695 did not much exceed 1,000,000. At present (1783) they are, I sup pose, about 2,000,000," Although at the period when Dr. Price wrote there was a great want of adequate data respecting the extent of the Irish population, there were yet sufficient mate rials to j tiredly the conclusion which he wished toestablisb, viz., that poor countries, provided that the ground sup plied plenty of food, and the poverty of the inhabi tants consisted only in their wanting conveniences and elegancies, in other countries deemed necessaries, in crease faster than rich ones. Subsequent investigation has shown that, at a point even below that con templated by this writer, the rate of increase is very great—an observation which has been fully justified by the increase in the Irish popu lation during the earlier decades of this century. It therefore follows that the sudden falling off in the popu lation of Ireland is a fact of greater value in computation than the same fact would have been if it had taken place in England, or in any country where there is a greater proportionate amount of the luxury resulting from opulence. Tho application of this doctrine to the figures given in the Irish census is worthy of notice. Bear ing in mind the very short time during which those causes have operated which have diminished the population, it would be wrong to look for any very great diminution in the relative numbers contained in families. It will, however, be found that the recent calamity has already told on the size of families which, from containing 5.5636 individuals in 1841, aro reduced in 1851 to 5.3983. To perceive the amount of this difference it would be necessary only for a person to visit 100 families, when he would find them to contain 16 persons less than the same number of families at the corresponding period 10 years back; and this deficiency would become very striking if the number visited were 1,000, in which case it would amount to 165, the fractions being left out in both instances. Of course it is not supposed that this difference in the number of an Irish family is to be accounted for wholly by a diminution in the number of births; it will be ne c,ssary, however, in assigning the causes of this re markable contraction of the faimily circle, to have retereuce to the particular cause which has been in dicated. When more ample details shall be fur nished of the late census, and those details reduced for scientific and other purposes, it will be desirable to inquire why, in 1841, the population could be as certained by multiplying the families by 5 5634, and in 1851 by reducing the multiplier to 5.3983. It will be observed, Isy looking at the numbers under the head of " famil:es" at each of these periods, that in 1841 we have 1,472,787, and in 1851 1,207,002, so that in passing from the number of families to that of persons we have now to deal with factors, both of which are reduced. To obtain the proper answer to such an irquiry we should have to bear in mind the re markable law noticed by Dr. Price, and which should be noticed in connexion with the facts presented by the present census. A person not acquainted with the melancholy history of Ireland during the last ten years, and who should di rect his attention to the popal ;don of the towns at the beginning and the end of that interval, would naturally conclude that the decade had been one of great prospe rity, as the towns now • present a remarkable increase of numbers. Beginning with Drogheda, where the small est addition has been made, the rate of increase has been 3 per cent., and, passing to Limerick and Waterford, where the increase to 14 per cent., then to Belfast, where it is 32, we come to Galway, where it is 43. In the last case, the increase in the population is from 17.275 to 24,697, au addition of 7,422, for which no parallel can be found in the natural increase of towns. These increased numbers, with the exception of Belfast, and perhaps of Dublin, represent not prosperity, but misery and destitution. The several columns confirm the statements which were made daring the seasons of famine and pestilence, of the numbers that rushed into the tomes as the only means left them to escape from death by starvation in the country. Belfast is evi dently a happy exception to this statement, for it will be seen that, while the rate of increase in the town has been 32 per cent., the decrease in the counties of Antrim and Down has not been more than 7. 6 per cent. in Antrim and 10.5 per cent. in Down. This is a striking contrast to the case of the town of Galway, where, while the population has increased in the remarkable manner already noticed, the county of Galway has lost its popu lation to the extent of more than 30 per cent., and Clare to the extent of 29.8. The case of Dublin, both in the city and the county, is somewhat peculiar. While the former has increased at the rate of 9 per cent., it might be concluded that this increase has not been at the expense of the surrounding country, since the increase in the county has been at the rate of 10 per cent. There would, however, be a fallacy in the conclusion that this increase of numerical strength was indicative of pro sperity, either in the city or the neighbouring county. This rate of increase is obviously unnatural, and indi cative of disturbance in some other parts of the country. This excess of increase in the metropolis of Ireland can be readily accounted for, by considering that what a county town is to its neighbourhood, Dublin is to the whole island. While the peasant could not make his way further than the nearest town, the broken down family, and, in some instances, that would be a "county family," could decamp to the metropolis, and fiud a residence there or in its environs. Among the numbers in excess of natural increase added to Dublin, county and city, will be found many who have abandoned the old family mansion for a lodging of very moderate pre tensions on th e Quays, and their wide demesnes for a small house and garden at Dundrum.

We refer to the diminution in the number of houses, which were— In 1841.. 1851— 1,384,360 ... ... ~. 1,115,007 269,353 This number, which would have been much greater if the natural increase had been allowed for, gives the numerical results of causes which do not to any extent prevail in Great Britain—of evictions, fol lowed, or in some cases preceded, by conflagration; of the simple process of pulling the mud cabin down after the tenant had left; and very generally of the result of abandooing the rude hut to the operation of the elements, by which it would be restored to the ground from which is unbaked and undried materials had been dug. The destruction of above 250,00 u " houses," such as are included in this census, is not a fact of any com mercial interest, but it tells a tale of much significance, suggestive of some practical wisdom, which it may be hoped the new race of Irish landlords will not fail to learn. —Times. SERIOUS RIOT 1N GREENOCK. From a late edition of the Greenock Advertiser of Tuesday, we learn that Greenock has been the scene of an alarming and disgraceful riot, in which many per sons have been very seriously injured. It appears that an individual named John Orr, an itinerant preacher, of what persuasion we know not, had on Saturday night last collected an immense crowd on the Steamboat Quay by a vehement denunciation of the Pope. The Roman Catholics of the town assembled in great force at the place of meeting with bludgeons, and a scene of pushing and driving ensued, in the course of which se veral severe blows were given. One or two persons were rather severely injured. On Monday evening the disturbed feeling found expression in an open riot. The Steamboat Quay and Breast, up to the foot of King William-street, was one moving mass, and a series of conflicts took place between the Catholics, who bad come in a body, and . the mob. The riot speedily spread over the town, and the police were completely baffled in their attempts to suppress it. Several persons were here very severely hurt, and one fellow, named Patrick O'Donnel, was captured on the Steamboat Quay, while in the act of striking a blow, with a short stick loaded with lead, which must have caused instantaneous death had it alighted on the per son's head at whom he had aimed. At half-past 10 the mob proceeded by Inverkip and East Shaw-streets, with the view of demolishing the windows of the Ca tholic chapel in Bearhope-street, and suc ceeded in effecting their purpose ; a few of those of the Methodist Chapel in Tobago-street in retaliation sharing the same fate. While the mob were passing along Inverkip-street, a pistol was dis charged, and the utmost alarm was excited by the rumour being spread that a man named Hutton, the leader of St. Patrick's band, who was quietly standing at his own door, was seriously injured; and the report was believed from the yells of his wife who insisted he had been killed, which she ran through the streets shouting. We are happy to be able to say that though the contents of the weapon, which, apparently, were small pellets, struck him, be yond a cut on o ne o f hi s fi ngers no h arm was done. The ruffian wh o fi re d t h e p i sto l was h appi ly captured as he was in th e act o f escap i ng to th e roo f o f the house to which he h a d fl e d f or s h e l ter . H e gave his name as James L a fferty, and his tongue afforded unmistakeab l e evidence of his Irish birth.

AT PL ruouTH.--At three o'clock this afternoon (Thursday) information was received at the police-station of a Peruvian, named Frederick de Bezon, having murdered an old naval pensioner, named Cos tello, a shoemaker. It appeared that the deceased last night had been out drinking, and his home being in Devonport, he repaired to Stillman-street, where the prisoner was residing. He attempted to get in, but was unable. He afterwards went away, and returned about one o'clock this afternoon, when be again presented himself at the house in a state of intoxication. He was desired to leave, but refused. and the prisoner, who was sober, went down to him to put him out forcibly. Still refusing to leave, he took hold of him by the shoulders, and knocked him down in the middle of the street —his head coming with great violence to the paving -stones. He lay senseless for a few minutes on the ground, and was afterwards t , ken into the house, when he as found to be dead. The prisoner has been in the town only a few wesks, and appears to be on tramp. He was immediately taken into custody and conveyed to the station-house, where he now awaits the verdict of a coroner's inquest. The poor old man is above 6U year 4 of age, and was well known in the neii;hbourtwod. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. - - MANCHESTER, JULY 19.—1 n the early part of the week the weather continued showery and unsettled, but has subse quently been dry, and, althou z , h cool, of a more favourable character. The trade throughout that period has ruled ex tremely languid, the demand for all articles being on the merest retail scale, with a view to present consumption only, but in prices no change was observable. Beyond a moderate quantity of oats from Ireland, the imports thence and coast wise into Liverpool and Runcorn are again exceedingly lig ht ' but from abroad liberal supplies of wheat, barley, Indian cor n, and flour are reported. At our market this morning a ve r y lifeless feeling prevailed, and the few transactions which ex - , curred in wh e at an d fl our were at rates somew h at i n favour 0 , 1 buyers. Oat s me t a s l ow sa l e at the previous currency , but oatmeal continui ng very scarce, found purchasers to a moderate extent without alteration ir, value, On Thursday at Sudbury good samples of wheat maintained late rates, but the supply was so large that inferior samples rather gave way. . At Hadleigh business was active at former quotations. the At Bury the millers b oug ht very spar i ng l y, an d only best samples. Beans and peas were cheaper. by At Woodbridge the supply was scanty, an d was taken off the merchants and millers at late rates. On Thursday at Stowmarket the wheat trade was unaltere d ' Fine samples of beans fetched 3?it per qr. NOTTINGHAM, JULY 19.—The cold rain which has fallen in heavy showers every day for more than a week past b 3 materially retarded the ripening of grain; and harvest now or pears likely to be later by ten or twelve days than was cipated a tortnight ago. Wheat in districts favourablet. e °_ quick ripening when rain cea se s w ill b e a ll t h e h e avier for b ._ extra moisture, and in this neighbourhood at least there 1: every appearance of a crop 7..nd a half, taking the yield of rai n rage fall ❑seasatons. Barley sti'd looks thi the effect in places, th e g too late a period to remedy t caused by de ficiency of early moisture. Beans, peas, &c., lock w ell,. °T . seem likely to be comparatively as abundant in yield as whe' in Potatoes are plentiful and cheap, with no signs of disease to any quarter. Much hay is spoiling in the backward dist . i for want of a period of dry weather sufficiently protracted. w!, enable farmers to stack it, but great quantities of earlier bay have been gut in in 13: ime condition. The pastures and gibe crops of all kinds yield an abundance of food for cattle. l eo supply of fresh wheat was again small, and the min ers 711 very cautious, buying for their immediate wants, at prices 0 .; equal to last week. Grinding barley was very dull sale, w l prices looking downwards. 21s 64 Aereanies, JULY 18.—Grain—Oata 21s Od 401bs per bushel; oats (seed), 00s Od to 00s Od, 401bs per bu s !l barley, 23s Od to 24s Od. 52Ibs per bushel ; bear, 23s Od L 0 6d Od, 521bs per bushel ; wh ea t 00 s to 425; oatmeal, 17s 6dt° per boll; flour, 30s to 32s per sack.
