The Government having resolved to send the persons arrested to trial on the charge of having taken part "in secret agencies, with the object of addressing to foreign journals false news on the state of France, and of discrediting the French Govern ment in the eyes of Europe," the Journal des _Mats pays a tribute of respect to the character of M. Tanski, who, after attaining the rank of captain in the foreign legion, " has made for himself an honourable position on the press, au su et au vu de tout le monde, which has placed him in relations of friendship with eminent men of all parties." It appears that General de St. Priest was arrested in place of his son, M. Charles de St. Priest. The police also searched the house of M. de Chantilange, son of Charles X.'s minister, but found nothing. In the Presse, M. Emile de Girardin expresses himself with some warmth against the examina tion of the papers of suspected persons by the police. This, however, is a course not peculiar to the present Government. It was practised under the Restoration, under the constitutional Government of Louis Philippe, and even under the provisional government of the Republic of 1843, which professed to have so much regard for right and liberty. There is in fact no period of history for centuries past in which the French Govern ment did not, in virtue of what is called a jage ment administratif, exercise the power of arrest and seizure of papers without the previous autho risation of a legal tribunal, or even of any high legal functionary. It is quite reasonable to object in principle to this exercise, of power, but it would be wrong to impute it exclusively to the Imperial regime. All governments in France have exercised it more or less, and all on the ground of its being necessary for their protection against secret machinations. The Union also contains an energetic protest against the character of these arrests, and there could be no doubt whatever that the French public views these proceedings of the government with regret, if not with feelings of in dignation. We read in the Journal des Debats : " Amongst the persons arrested is M. Joseph Tanski, who has been attached for several years to our journal. M. Tanski is a polish refugee, but naturalised a Frenchman nearly ten years ago; he served with distinction in Africa in the foreign legion, and arrived at the grade of captain. Pro scribed and without means of existence, without any other resource than his rare intelligence and indefatigable activity, he was able to create for himself in the Parisian press an honourable position which placed him in relation with the most eminent and most important men of all parties and of all regimes which have succeeded each other. The no bleness of his character, the moderation of his mind, the prudence of his political opinions, suffice to de fend him against the accusation brought against him. We consequently do not doubt that the tri bunals, now that they are charged to pronounce on his fate, will soon restore him to liberty." A pre liminary warning has been given by the Prefect of the Bouches-duldone to the Gazette du Midi for publishing an article offensive to the government. By an imperial decree, dated the sth, the follow ing admirals have, on their application, been called from the retired list, and placed on the second section of the Staff :—Vice-Admiral Baron Hugon, Rear-Admiral de Martineng, Rear-Admiral De belle, Rear-Admiral Mengin du. Val d'Ailly, and Honorary Rear-Admiral Bouvet. Although the Bourse was more than usually at tended yesterday than for some days past there was not much business transacted.

Afif Bey, the Turkish commissioner charged to execute the convention entered into be tween France and the Sublime Porte, relative to the Holy, Places, had returned from Jerusalem, after fulfilling his mission. The Greek Patriarch of Jerusalem had left the city, and had protested against the convention. He had it was said depo sited the key of the church of Bethlehem in the hands of M. Ozeroff, Russian Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople. Ahmet Bey had returned from his extraordinary mission to Tunis, which he had fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Divan. The Mar quis de Lavalette had, however, complained to the Porte that, charged with a letter to the Consul- General of France at Tunis, he had only delivered it five days after his arrival, and that the com mander of the Turkish frigate off Tunis had not returned the customary salute to the French frigate the Mogador. The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs had promised satisfaction. The Grand Vizier had presented to the Sultan a report, ap proved of by the Grand Council, recommending the adoption of the treaty on guarantees recently concluded at Paris. The Sultan had not given his sanction to the report, which would authorise the signing of the treaty, but it was not doubted that he would do so. In that case the treaty was to be signed by Vely Pacha, though England and Austria have not yet signed it. The Marquis de Lavalette was waiting for his new credentials, and on the re ceipt of them was to set out for Paris on leave of absence. During his stay in Paris, says one of the letters from Constantinople, he is to treat the af fair of the loan. It was said that an indemnity of 100 fr. is to be accorded to the holder of every share, or that a loan will be raised on the conditions ori ginally fixed by the imperial decision—that is, to be paid off in ten years. A firman had been published on the powers of the governors-general of provinces. From the ambiguous terms in which it was drawn up it was feared that it would give rise to abuses and would favour arbitrary power. The firman was considered a new anti-reformist attempt on the part of the Ministry. Ali Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, had been nominated Governor-Gene ral of Smyrna. This nomination had given great satisfaction, and it was hoped that he would free the environs of the city from the bands of brigands with which they have for some time past been in fested. In Servia the measures taken by M. Yara chanine, Minister of the Interior, to prevent the propaganda of the Sclave monks of Turkey, so dis pleased the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, that it de manded that he should be dismissed, At first the Prince Alexander assembled the Senate, and caused it to declare that, as the nation was satisfied with the services of M. Yarachanine, the request of Russia could not be granted ; but, subsequently, the Prince yielded to the influence of the Russian Consul, and discharged him. M. Yarachanine recom mended his successor ; but the prince was afraid to make the nomination without the sanction of the Russian Consul. This affair had caused profound emotion in the Imperial Divan. There was also a good deal of talk at Constantinople of the move ments of Russian troops on the frontier of Moldavia. Russia . had threatened to again occupy the princi pality, and a distinguished personage, charged with an extraordinary mission, was expected at Con stantinople. St. St. St. St. M.

The general signals require no previous dis ttiguishing signal.

I am about to fulfil my intent. My intent is to free my country—to make her independent, free, and happy. It is not' by force we have been crushed. The force of the world would never have sufficed to crush Hungary. Treason alone did it. "I swear that force shall not conquer us, nor treason injure us again. Our war is the war of the liberty of the world, and we are no longer alone. Not only the whole people of our own country will be with us, not only will those once adverse to us now combat with us the common enemy, but all the peoples of Europe will arise and unite to wave the banner of liberty. By the force of the peoples of the world the tottering power of the tyrants shall be destroyed. And this shall be the last war. "In this war no nation fraternizes more with the Hungarian than the Italian. Our interests are one— our enemy is one—our struggle is one. Hungary is the right wing, and Italy the left wing, of the army I lead. The victory will be common to both. "Therefore, in the name of my nation, have I made alliance with the Italian nation. *The moment we raise the banner of the liberty of the world let the Italian soldier in Hungary unite with the insurgent Hungarian nation, and the Hungarian soldier in Italy unite with insurgent Italy. Let all, wheresoever the alarm shall first sound, combat against the common enemy. Whoso will not do this, he, the hireling of our country's execu tioner, shall never more see his native land. He shall be for ever exiled as a traitor, as one who has sold the blood of his parents and of his country to the enemy. " The moment of the insurrection is at hand ; let not that moment find the Hungarian unprepared ; for should it take them unprepared, should our nation not im prove the opportunity, our dear country would be lost for ever, and our national flag would be covered with ignominy. " I know that every Hungarian is ready for the war of liberty. The blood shed by the martyrs, the suf ferings of the country, have changed even children into heroes. "No nation yet rewarded its brave sons so liberally as the Hungarian nation will reward hers. After the vic tory, the State property shall be distributed among the army, and the families of the victims of patriotism ; but the coward and traitor shall die. "And I, therefore, make it known to you, soldiers, in the name of the nation, that whoever brings you this my order is expressly sent to you, that he may report to me the favourers of liberty in the army stationed in Italy, and that he may tell you, in my name, how you should organise yourselves. "Accept the instructions that are forwarded to you by the nation through me, and follow them. Let it be so in every town and district of our country and every where. "Brave ones ! The Honveds and the Hussars have covered with glory the name of our nation. The world looks on the Hungarian flag as on the banner of liberty. We will preserve that glory, and satisfy that expectation. " It. is principally on you that the eyes of the world are turned, for your number is great. The arms are in your hands ; a generous blood in your veins ; the love of the country, and thirst of vengeance on her executioners is in your breasts. Your task is glorious and easy ; for you are among a nation which will give its own millions of combatants against Austria. " From Rome to the island of the Sicilians—from the Sava to the country beyond the Rhine—all the people are unanimous in a cry joined to the clang of millions of arms. Let God be our judge. Down with the tyrants ! Long live the liberty of the people ! Long live our country ! " Brave ones ! By this cry your voice will be like Joshua's voice, at the bidding of which the Jericho of tyrants shall fall. "So I order, in the name of the nation. Let every one obey. I will shortly be among you. Au revoir. God be with you. " Feb. 1853. " KOSSUTH." THE CALORIC SHIP FRicssoN.—We have no wish (remarks the Glasgow Advertiser of Thursday), to say a word against the new method of propulsion that is about e w te l d lk t h o v to es b s e el t i e n st t e h d e i c n ou i r ts se a o p f p a li s c h a o ti r o t ia pe t r o i od t , h m e na E y ri t c e s e so x n pL arrive in this country from America. All that we wish to draw attention to, without disparagement to any suc cessful modification that Captain Ericsson may put in operation connected with heated air as a motive power, is the fact, that the invention, said to be his, is not new. About 30 years ago, a vessel named the Highland Lad, that many of our readers will remember as a passage boat on the Clyde, was fitted up by Messrs. Claud Girdwood and Co., of Glasgow, with a caloric engine, the invention, we pelieve, of the Rev. Mr. Stirling, now minister of a p ar i s h—Gafston we think—near Kilmar nock. Thi s eng i ne propelled the vessel at the moderate rate that gave satisfaction in those days, being estimated as working to 20 horses power. It was subsequently removed from the vessel in consequence of the working parts yielding to the enormous heat and thereby becom soft and giving way, and its place was supplied by an ordinary steam-engine. We fear that Captain Ericsson's engine will labour under a like disadvantage, but, be that as it may, he must content himself as ranking in this country as the mere modifer of the invention of Mr. Stirling, whose caloric engine we saw working regularly in Dundee, in 1814 a f ac t ory, 1 12— 13i pal— 1p 2 3 / 4 p 1 3 / 4 1 1 1 2i p p 1 dis— par 61 —7ixin 4 —Vain 11 —lixin 1 —4xin dis par p 2 —2h ••• - .•• T 1 - 8 6. - 7 32 -33 i 14 -- 144 8 -- 9 13i -- -- 13ap 38 38 29 -- -- 29a- 99 1 2 -- 31 p Ipar-- 18 p -- 6 1 -- 9 2 p p 5 d 5 4 6 p N MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

The French Government yesterday received the following telegraphic dispatch from the Minister of France in Switzerland : " Basle, Feb. B,_B p.m. " A telegraphic dispatch from Bellinzona, of this day, at half-past four in the afternoon states that an insur rection broke out on the 6th at Milan in three quarters. Five men were killed, but order was re-established, as an Austrian proclamation announces to the public." The French Government received also the fol lowing telegraphic dispatch, dated Turin, Bth, 10 a.m. : " An attempt at insurrection took place at Milan on the 6th. The inhabitants in general took no part in it. It has been suppressed. Turin and Piedmont are tran quil." Many influential people in Paris regard this at tempted insurrection as a pretext used by Austria to collect a larger army in Italy. A letter from Paris, dated yesterday, says : The news of the insurrection at Milan has created an immense sensation here, and great apprehen sions are entertained that it is only the commence ment of further and more serious events. There appears to be no doubt that Mazzini is at the head of the movement. He has been in the canton of Tesino for the last month ; and. the proclamation issued by him, and mentioned in the telegraphic dispatch, addressed by the French Minister in Switzerland to the Government here, has been pla carded, not only in Milan, but in several parts of the canton of Tesino. Copies of the proclama tion are known to be in Paris. It doeS not speak of the form of government which the movers in the affair would wish to see established, but merely appeals to the people of Lombardy to join in securing the independence of Italy, by making war against the domination of Austria. It appears that the movement has not been quite so sudden as may at first appear. There was a good deal of previous agitation, evidently got up for the purpose of exciting the people, and preparing them for the movement. On the 2d a rumour was industriously . circulated that Louis Napoleon had been assassi nated on the day of his marriage, and so generally was it believed that it created a tumult, which threatened the public peace; and ultimately appear ances were so alarming that the authorities were forced to issue placards, announcing that the re port was wholly without foundation. It may perhaps be premature to offer any opinion as to the real cause of this movement. The reports on the subject are various, and perhaps depend in some measure on the opinions of the parties utter ing them. Some say that it is the,work of the Re publican party, aided by French refugees ; others maintain that it is the commencement of a move ment on the part of Louis Napoleon to extend French influence in Italy. It must be said that hitherto it appears as if the movement were a Re publican one. The friends of Piedmont are in great apprehension as to the influence this affair may have upon the state of that country ; but the Turin dispatch is so far satisfactory, as it is known that Genoa has for a long time past been in a state of great excitement, and, if the news given be cor rect, that the insurrection is suppressed, there will probably be no outbreak. But it is not yet quite certain that the news given in the telegraphic dis patch issued by the French Government may not give the latest information. It is probable that in the course of to-morrow this point will be cleared up. There is some talk here to-day of several arrests which have taken place among the Italian emigres. at Marseilles. It was reported at the Bourse that two additional regiments were to be sent to Rome, to reinforce the French army of occupation in that city. SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the 4th. They contain partial accounts of the progress of the election at Madrid, but all interest is taken from them by a telegraphic dispatch, dated one day later, which says that in all the electoral districts of the capital the Government candidates had been returned by large majorities. A Madrid letter of the 4th says—" Yesterday, her Majesty gave a private audience to the Chevalier de Wendland, lately appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Bavaria. The most friendly expressions. were exchanged on the occasion of this mission, the object of which is to consolidate the relations which have so long united the two Governments. One of the last letters ad dressed by the Countess de Toba to her friends in Madrid, a very short time before her marriage to the Emperor of the French, was to a distinguished physician, M. Sevane, in which she ordered him to triple the sum which he had been in the habit of distributing to the sick and poor in her name. This trait of charity is the finer as it was not done with any idea of its being made public."

By Charles Laren an, late his Private Secretary, and Author of " Letters from the Alleghany Mountains." Longman. This book is one of great interest, and it will doubtless be fully appreciated by those who delight to peruse the records of the domestic life of the departed great. The'style is simple and unassum ing, such as is befitting the seclusion and tran quillity of its subject. Occasi ona ll y, h owever, ex tracts are given from distinguished writers, to exemplify some of the public doings and character istic peculiarities of the celebrated man whose career is put before us. It will be seen that he was very quiet and unpretending in his manners, affable in his deportment to all, and in defatigable in his exertions, whatever duties he had to perform. " When all of genius that can perish dies," it is gratifying to meet with tributes to its memory, whether accorded by popular applause in high places, or offered in de voted simplicity, as in the present instance. The author of tjiis memoir has taken for a motto, " He that hath the vantage ground to do good, is an honest man ;" and he endeavours to show how, having the opportunity, Daniel Webster strenu ously laboured to make a glorious and a blessed use of it. At the conclusion of the book there are two eulogies, which were delivered at Boston and at New York, which show in what high estimation the great man just departed was held in America. The accounts of his style and manner in public are thus given in the course of the details :- 1 "As a lawyer, pursuing his professional avocations in the judicial courts," wrote Harriet Martineau in her " Society in America," " and as a member of th 3 Senate, be has ever formed a striking character. In the supreme court, where he has often pleaded before the judges, and' in which many of those masterly forensic arguments were delivered that constitute a considerable portion of his published productions, be is described by an eye witness as sometimes standing firm as a rock, while listening to the Chief Justice delivering a judgment, his large, cavernous eyes wide awake, his lips coma pressed, and his whole countenance in that intent still ness which instantly fixes the eyes of the stranger. It was not uncommon for him to saunter into the court, throw himself down, and lean back against the table, while seeming to see nothing about him, and there was no knowing whether he would by-and-by go away, or whether he would rouse himself suddenly, and stand up to address the judges. Still, however it might turn out, it was amusing to see how the court would fill, after the entrance of Mr. Webster, and empty when he had returned to the Senate Chamber. In his pleading, as in his speaking to the Senate, it was interesting to see one so dreamy and nonchalant roused into strange ex citement. It was something to watch him moved with anxiety in the toil of intellectual conflict ; to bear his voice vary with emotion, and to trace the expression of laborious thought, while he paused for minutes together to consider his notes, and decide upon the arrangement of his argument. "In the Senate his services have always been acknow ledged to be invaluable ; he there displayed industry, energy, and sound-heartedness. He spoke but seldom ; but when he did so, it was generally on some constitu tional question, where his logical powers and legal know ledge were brought into play, and where his authority was considered oracular by assemblages of the first men of the country. When speaking to the Senate, he in variably manifested great earnestness, and seemed to be lieve every sentiment he uttered ; and he convinced by appealing to the reasoning powers of his listeners rather than to their passions. Before entering on the delivery of a speech, on one occasion, he might be seen, absent and thoughtful, making notes. When he rose, his voice was moderate and his manner quiet, with the slightest pos sible mixture of embarrassment, his right hand resting upon his desk, and the left hanging by his side. Before his first word was finished, however, his voice would rise so as to fill the chamber, and ring again to the remotest corner. Then he would fall back into his favourite attitude, with his left hand under his coat skirt and his right in full action. At this moment the eye would rest upon him as upon one inspired, seeing the invisible and grasping the impalpable. When the vision had passed away, the change was astonishing ; he sat at his desk writing letters or dreaming, so that he did not always discover when the Senate was going into a division. Some one of his party had not seldom to tell him his vote was wanted." Autobiography of an English Soldier in the United States Army. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. In these volumes a great deal of information may be obtained concerning the arrangements of the American army. It will be seen that, after giving both countries a fair trial, the writer inclines to that of home. Apart from national prejUdices, however, A is evident that our army has many ad vantages in construction, discipline, and feeling. The time to which the subject of the book refers is the war with Mexico, which was carried on during the years 1846, '47, and '4B. Some of the engage ments and skirmishes are given in detail to cur notice, and many may be pleased to gather these accounts from an eye-witness. It will be shown in these remarks how, after having been enlisted in the armies of the two countries, the author prefers the English system in all its branches. " In looking over my experience of a soldier's life in both the services, I must say that if compelled by cir cumstances to choose one of them, I would not hesitate a moment in preferring the British service to the Ameri can. Neither am lat all singular in my opinion on this point concerning those who have had an opportunity of comparing the relative merits of the services In the American service there are many discharged British sol diers, besides a number of deserters from that army. I have conversed with many of them on this topic, and I never met with one who did not confess the immeasur able superiority of the British soldier's condition to that of the American. An almost proverbial expression in colloquial discourse on the subject, which I have often heard uttered with that emphatic utter ance which earnest conviction alone can give is the following The British soldier is treated like a man, the American soldier like a dog. This difference of the soldier in these two armies is the result of a variety of causes, several of which I will try to point out. In England, the army is very perfectly organised and disciplined, and a strict subordination runs through all the various grades and ranks, from the highest to the lowest, rendering the evasion f the standing rules and regulations of the service an impossibility. In England the army is also a popular profession, and the nation generally is prowl of its achievements in the lists of modern warfare. The public, therefore, take some inte rest in the concerns of the army ; and no abuse could long exist in it, without showing the importance which it attaches to the subject of fair play to the soldier. In the English service, the soldier is enlisted for a comparatively long period, discharged with a pension in the event of his losing his health while in the service, unless such incapability be the result of his own crime or folly. He is provided with good quarters in commodious barracks, and supplied with a sufficiency of wholesome food. On all occasions the complaints of the soldier are patiently listened to by his officers for the purpose of affording him redress. Neither' is all this mere matter of form, the desire exhi bited by their officers to promote their comfort, and pro tect them from every species of imposition and injustice is well understood, felt, and appreciated by the great majority of British soldiers. The American army is com posed of Germans and Irish, with a small portion of na tives of the lowest caste, and a thin sprinkling of English and Scotch. The officers are all natives, and graduate for a certain period at West Point Military Academy before receiving their commissions, as the idea of a standing army is very unpopular in the States ; and as the mass of the army are foreigners, the officers are allowed to govern (or misgovern it) as they choose. The system and subordination extending throughout the various grades of rank, on which the discipline and good govern ment of an army principally depend, is very imperfectly developed in the American army. This evil arises partly from the ideas of equality in which the American officer has been educated, and partly from the difficulty of enforcing proper regulations, owing to the army being split into a number of petty detachments scattered at wide distances. The officers commanding these small bodies, thus removed from the inspec tion and control of their superiors, too commonly be come the petty tyrants and oppressors of their com panies. The American soldier's nominal pay is larger than that of the British soldier, but his comfort and health are not cared for as well as the British soldier's are, and no amount of pay can compensate for the depri vation. It would be much better for the Americanho sol dier to have more comfortable quarters , a Tore and the sympathy dietary, more liberal treatment wh en sick, sympathy and protection of his officers, even if t his should be purchased by a reduction of his pay. At pre sentp the American soldier is paid onl y once every two months, t m is more an debauch in a few days, its large amount and his pay being mostly consu ed in riot and in jury than a benefit to him."

Putnam's American Magazine. It is interesting to observe among the num erous serials and reviews published monthly i n London, a magazine of transatlantic literature.

It is cal culated to instruct juvenile readers by the narra tion of facts, without unnecessary details or elabo rate descriptions. The Flight of the Pigeon. By Drapeau Blanc. __W. Allen. This work is the description of a trip from Paris to Vienna ; b u t th e pre f ace i n f orms us th a t it is neither a story, a book of travels, nor a history, but something of all of them. This is certainly true, for it describes the appearance of the towns and scenery passed ; it giv es us severa l roman ti c t a l es ; and it adds many digressions and accounts of the state of publi c a ff a i rs i n France at the time the journey was taken—the autumn of 1848. It is an amusing and agreeable collection, likely to entertain and interest the reader. The Peak and the Plai n . B y S pencer T. HLll. Author of The Forester's Offering," d c . Houlston and Stoneman. This volume is entitled " Scenes in Woodland, Field, and Mountain ;" and consists of tales and sketches of English villages and scenery. The author's two previous volumes, " The F ores t er ' s Offering," and ' Rambles in the Country," have been out of print for nearly ten years. But he was reluctant to re-publish them, though frequently requested to do so, as he considered they had many defects, from being hurriedly written ; but he has inserted their best passages in the present volume. Should it be as well, received as the former ones, it will be followed by others, describing life and scenery in other interesting parts of the country. The frontispiece represents " The Pass of the Windgates, Castleton ;" and the vignette, "My Native Cot," a view of the author's birthplace. The sketches are very varied and attractive ; one of the most pleasing is a " Wreath of Rhymes," which contains several verses of a superior order. Deane's Illustrated Almanac for 1853. This is one of Messrs. Deane and Dray's, of Lon don-bridge, annual publications. It has reached its ninth year, and we may hence conclude that it has met with a fair share of public favour.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRlEST.—Considerable sensation has been caused among the inhabitants of Salisbury and the immediate neigh bourhood during the last few days, from the fact of a rumour having been circulated respecting a fracas which occurred at the Romish Church of St Osmond, in that city, followed by a public denunciation by the officiating priest. The altercation which gave rise to the unplea santness occurred on Sunday the 30th ult., in the course of the service, and in the face of the whole congrega tion, who were not a little astonished at the extraordi nary interruption of the proceedings occasioned by the anger of the disputants. It appears that for some time past there has been a considerable falling off in the number of worshippers at St. Osmond's, and a conse quent diminution of the stipend of the priest ; but having obtained the acquiescence of his ecclesiastical superiors, the Rev. P. Kelly had lately commenced levying a small fixed sum in the shape of a rate upon the members of his flock, indiscriminately, in order to make up the deficiency. In collecting these contributions no oppo sition was manifested by any member of the com munion until lie applied to Mr. Vandenhoff (brother of the well-known tragedian), a respectable tradesman of the town. Mr. Vandenhoff refused to comply with the demand made upon him, on the ground that the more affluent members should contribute according to the extent of their means, and the poorer brethren should do likewise ; thus making the burden fall lighter on those who were least able to pay. The priest went round on Sunday to make the collection, when Mr. Vandenhoff openly refused to pay his contribution ; an argument of some warmth then arose between them, and the reverend gentleman proceeded straightway to the altar, and publicly adverted in the strongest terms to what had passed in reference to his refusal. A day or two afterwards a bill was sent in to his contumacious brother charging for masses said for the repose of the soul of a deceased child, with an intimation that unless the sum was immediately paid ulterior measures would be taken for its recovery. The Rev. Mr. Kelly is about to terminate his connection with the Catholics of Salis bury ; however, in justice to him, it should be stated, that the above circumstances have nothing whatever to, do with his removal. EXTRAORDINARY DEPORTATION OP IRISH POOL—Yes terday, at the meeting of the board of guardians of the Holborn Union, Mr. S. Pearson brought before the notice of the guardians the circumstances connected with a boy named Jeremiah Carey and his sister, who had that day been received into the workhouse in a state of desti tution. It appeared from the statement of the children that, along with their father, they were inmates of the Clonakilty Union workhouse, in the county of Cork, and one day all the inmates were called together, and asked who would like to go to England. The children and hnn w tg she since t r oha e a afterwardsterbdpes a seea been passage ahgwi wanderingpee money were and,ot enye landed after afe ob i dr n o hui c nt a eh r t s EEewni itgg t gol o l aa England, te t nw h ddo o e ,f, their father were induced to do so, along with about 1s seaside,guardianso.tahn andedTr th d th a and their father died lately at Tonbridge, in Kent. If such conduct had been practised in England, the guardians would have rendered themselves liable to an indictment and the infliction of a penalty, and he was desirous of knowing if the law provided any remedy in the case of Irish guardians sending over their sht.ewypoT huhptadniaeysogri poor in such a wholesale manner—Mr. James, the clerk to the board, stated that he did not think that the act of Parliament forbidding such a practice affected Ireland. It would be well to keep the children here for r the present, as witnesses, if they were needed. —Mr. tten union 4/. He proposed that a letter should be w a il and Pearson continued : To send them back would cost the . to the Poor-law Board, stating the eirc t um an s e ta h n c c o e nduct. urging them to provide a remedy agains t Irish paupers to deprecated the wholesale deportation of then unanimously this country.—The resolution was —Mr. G.
