PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 25.—The Belleisle, 72,1 Captain King come, arrived this morning from the West Indies, bringing the 7I st (Highlanders) Regiment from Barbadoes. She came into harbour this evening to disembark the troops. We regret to announce a most melancholy catastrophe which oc-... curred on board the Belleisle on her passage home. Captain Kingcorne's son, a midshipman, with another young gentle man of the same rank, was " skylarking" in the dusk of the evening about ten days since, and chasing each other about . the ship, and having gone aloft, Mr. Kingcome missed his footing, and fell into the sea, at a time when the ship was going very fast through the water. She was put about, the boats hoisted out, and every exertion made to recover the unfortunate youth, but all was of no avail. Mr. King come was a gallantly-disposed and daring youth, and exhi bited considerable promise. He was universally beloved by all who knew him. The African steam-tug arrived this morning from Ostend, bringing the carriages and baggage of Sir Hamilton Seymour, G.C.8., who is going out as Minister tod.isbon. • The remains of the late gunner of the Sphynx (Mr. liar. ris) were interred to-day at Gosport. During the time the body was crossing the harbour, the flag and other ships in commission lowered their colours half-mast. The corpse was carried by a party of men of the Excellent. All the officers of the same rank the deceased held followed his remains to the grave. 'A° Contest, 12, Commander M'Murdo, was at Sierra Leone on the 10th of December—all well on board. The Cygnet, 10, Commander Montresor, at the above date was ordered home. Heavy gales from S. by E. to W.S.W. have been blowing during the last two days and nights. Two merchantmen have been towed in to-day considerably damaged in their rigging. It is f eare d b a d news will be heard from the Sphynx. No communication has been made to-day with this place. Mr. Murray, Chief Engineer of this dockyard, went down to the wreck yesterday. IRELAND. [RISII POOR-LAW-ADVANCES FROM THE TREASURY. DUBLIN, JAN. 24.—The hoards of guardians in several of the poor-law unions are making arrangements for affording increased accommodation, in order to lessen the danger of the spread of infectious disease from the over crowded state of the workhouses. In other unions the guardians declare the establishments insolvent, and threaten to close the work houses. At the meeting of the Bailieborough guardians on Monday, a resolution to that effect was adopted, and a call was made on the Poor-law Commissioners to " enable the board to raise a sufficient sum of money to carry on the ex penditure of the house until part of the rate shall be col lected." Daniel Conner, Esq., chairman of the Dunmanway board of guardians, county Cork, recently forwarded a set of reso lutions to Lord John Russell, describing the dreadfully em barrassed condition of the affairs of that union, owing to the great advance in the price of provisions, and the increase of the inmates in the workhouse to more than quadruple the ordinary number. The object of Mr. Conner's application was to show " the urgent necessity that the Treasury should be authorised to make advances by way of loans to boards of guardians on the security of the future rates, for the purpose of affording additional temporary accommodation to the destitute poor." Mr. Conner, in a letter to the Cork Constitution, says— " On Wednesday, the 13th inst., I forwarded to Lord John Russell a copy of the accompanying resolutions, and entered fully into details in my letter. This day's post brought me the following reply from the Premier, in his own hand writing. This attention to any subject connected with the distress in Ireland proves his Lordship's great anxiety on the subject : " COPY OF LORD JOIIN RUSSELL'S LETTER. " Jan. 18, 1847. "' Sir,—l have received the resolution of the Dunmanway board of guardians, conveying a distressing account of that union. The Treasury have empowered the Lord-Lieutenant to act in urgent cases in the manner he shall deem expedient, and I shall transmit to him the resolutions. I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " Daniel Conner, Esq.' " " 'J. RUSSELL. THE IRISH. GRAIN MARKETS. Some of the principal country markets will show a ten dency to decline, but fears are entertained that prices will soon again advance. At Limerick, yesterday, there was a larger supply of wheat than for some time past, and sales were made at a reduction of about three farthings per stone of 201bs. on previous rates. At Belfast, on Friday, the supply of grain being much larger than usual, prices at length turned in favour of the buyer. In farmers' wheat there was a decline of 3d. per cwt. Flour and oatmeal also declined. Indian corn declined from ss. to 10s. per ton. In Limerick, on Friday, West India sugar advanced to 60s. per cwt., being an increase of 4s. DEATH FROM THE 13.1 TE OF A PlG.—About a fortnight ago an elderly man, named Thomas Green, living at Bare, Lancashire, had his thumb severely bitten by a pig, whilst engaged in " ringing" it. The wound inflamed, and produced death. The Conde de Montemolin attended last night at the House of Commons to hear Lord John Russell's speech. Her Excellency the Marchioness of Normanby gave on Friday evening a brilliant soiree dansante, at which the chief rank and fashion of Paris were present. There was a full attendance of the diplomatic circle. Amongst the dis tinguished personages were noticed Marshal Seult, Count Mole, and M. Thiers. PRICE OF POTATOES AT THE SOUTHWARK WHARVEII.—The York Regents stand at from 200 s. to 2405. per ton; the produce of the midland counties, 150 s. to 170 s. per iditto ; Lincoln and Cambridge, from 1455. to 180 s. per ditto ; Lincoln and Cambridge red-nosed kidneys, 140 s. to 1555. per ditto ; Essex and Kent sound regents from 200 s. to 2405. per ditto; Essex and Kent kidneys, 2055. ditto, the best samples; and French whites range as high as 170 s. per ton. The supplies have evidently been kept back to lift up the prices, under the impression that the winds have proved unfavourable to their arrival; but notwithstanding this attempt to aggravate the prices, the season will ope rate in favour of immediate arrivals. ROBBERY IN A BANKING-HOUSE.—Yesterday in formation was received by the police, that on the 23d inst., Mr. Petty, of Knight's Hill, Norwood, was robbed of a 201. No. 56,440 Bank of England note, whilst standing at the counter in the banking-house of Messrs. Glyn and Co., Lom bard-street, supposed by a man, about thirty years of age, dressed in a black great coat and black hat. DARING ROBBERY AT SIR CHARLES PRICE AND Co.'s BANKING-HOUSE.—On Saturday a lady named Hovill, residing at 17, Magdalen-circus, Southwark, went to the above bank to obtain cash for a cheque for 125/. Having received twenty Bank of England notes of Si. each, she placed them in a side pocket, after which twenty-five sove reigns were given, and she was placing them in the same ildf6rhatcken taiierrotii: - An alarni - wai ghitil b -Wlielele is who was present stated that he observed two genteelly dressed men, who had been previously engaged in conversa tion and warming themselves at the fire, deliberately walk up to the lady, raise her dress while she was counting the gold, take the notes from her pocket, and walk off. He added that he was so astonished at the audacity with which the robbery was committed that he had no power at the moment to give the alarm. Immediate search was made after the villains, but without effect. THE LATE HON. CHARLES STUART.—An inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Bedford, upon the body of the above-named gentleman, whose sudden death on the 21st instant was recorded in our columns. The medical evidence adduced proved that the deceased had died from apoplexy, and a verdict of natural death was recorded. THE SMITHFIELD MARKET NUlSANCE.—Yester day afternoon a youth, named Radcliffe, while in the act of crossing the carriage-way of the eastern extremity of Lon don-bridge, was run against and knocked down by a very powerful-looking beast, which had proceeded in advance of several others from Smithfield market. In addition to being most fearfully trampled upon, the poor youth was very se verely gored by the infuriated beast, which appeared the more irritated by the screams of the foot-passengers witnessing the accident : ultimately, however, he was rescued from his pe rilous position, when it was found that the injuries sustained were of such a serious nature that the most alarming results are likely to follow. THE WORKING-MAN'S RELIGIOUS, MORAL, AND INTELLECTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.—Last evening the annual meeting of the above society was held at the Music hail, Store-street; the Earl of Radnor, the president, was in the chair. Ha said the society originated amongst the men employed in the manufactory of Messrs. Maudslay and Field, Westminster-road, who established a library of religious and literary works, a few years since. His attention had been called to it, and finding that much benefit had arisen, he subscribed to it, and presented to it a variety of works. Ilaving been requested to become president of the society, he had consented, and was glad to state that libraries for the workmen had been established in several other factories. The Noble Earl expatiated on the good that must result front bringing within the reach of workmen the best books on the most useful topics. The report stated that the library of Messrs. Maudslay and Field contained upwards of 600 well-selected works, affording amusement and instruction to 1,2b7 readers. Auxiliary societies were progessing favour ably, and wanted nothing more than to be more generally known. The Rev. Mr. Hughes of St. Pancras, and the Rev. Samuel Merchant, having addressed the meeting, thanks were voted to the noble president, and the proceed ings terminated. DARING ROBBERY AT LADY FEVERSHA.NI'B.—Be tween the hours of five and nine yesterday morning some thieves effected an entrance from the Green Park, on to the kitchen roof of the mansion occupied by Lady . Feversham, and stripped it of a quantity of sheet lead, weighing about 1801bs., with which they got clear off. A boy about twelve years of age was committed for trial yesterday from Marylebone Police-court on a charge of having stolen a pennyworth of plum pudding. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.— On Thursday after noon last a partridge, supposed to be pursued by a hawk, flew into the bed-room window of W. Hawkins, Esq., of Martins town, pitching in a bandbox that lay open in the room at the time, and which, by the flitting of the timid bird, brought the cover to a close, at once making him a t cap tive. A lady, of the name of Richards, c ured and moving in the room, began to be in som h e ea m r h i e n e as g :r e 7 alarmed, but having discovered what it leasinansion.—Salis speedily took the prey to the owner of the bury Herald. ors who make bills pay- PROCRASTINATION. .... , 111 e Off the advice till the last able in London, g and the bags are delayed day,Swansea wi i the mail front by accident, as was . . broke down near Neath • the week when n a se s a le t t o t 7 1 - s b e a , r g o e auo:fetitenhtnnen:cot not to e l rl : a n su s t t t , ~ . . . con sequence was that the letters from Him am, merthyr, Tre degar, Rumney' Nantvglo, Beaufort, an Coalbrookyal e , were all delayed, and did not reach London till Saturday instead of Friday.

WILLIAM HARDING.—It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the decease of this gentleman, who expired. at his house in Woodstock-street , on Sunday evening, aged 60, after an illness of nine days. The deceased was for many years proprietor of Anderton's Hotel, a member of the Court of Common Council up to the recent election, and a life subscriber to the Licensed Victuallers' School. As a common councillor he discharged his duties to his fellow-citizens, and his constituents of the ward of Farringdon-Without, with zeal and energy. lie was a benevolent man, and prompt to relieve the distress and suffering of the poor and needy. His conduct afforded a bright example to others in a like situation, and constitutes the best eulogy that can be paid to departed worth. His death is deplored and regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, or were capable of appreciating his merits. We are happy to state that Sir George Cockburn, who has been suffering from ill-health for some time, is much better. The Gallant Admiral is-staying at his seat, High Beach, Essex.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—Lord John Russell explained last night to a deeply-attentive House of Commons, the measur es which the Government have been able to mature for re lieving the distress and improving the social condition of Ireland. Never, probably, did the chaste and impressive eloquence of the noble speaker appear to greater advantage. Skilful in arrangement, perspicuous in narration, pointed and full of matter in reflection, preserving throughout the high and earnest tone of feeling and the statesmanlike dignity of manner which great occasions only seem to have the power of calling forth, Lord John Russell never once suffered at tention to flag until he wound up a two hours' speech by a peroration which touched as if by magic every chord of generous sympathy in the bosoms of his auditory, and drew forth from men, who must have heard his general state ment with the most opposite impressions, a burst of unani mous and delighted applause. Deeply, most deeply pained are we to say, that our admiration for the noblePremir's speech cannot extend to his propositions. The policy which he developed last night is not a policy that will regenerate Ireland. It is almost enough to say of it — it is a scheme for improving that country through and by means of the landlords. They are to derive great and immediate benefit from it. We doubt exceedingly whether any considerable part of the good will go further; we speak with reference mainly to those of the proposed measures which are to have permanent effects. Before noticing them more particularly we shall dismiss, in a few words, those which are intended for the relief of the present distress. At this moment, 500,000 destitute persons, representing a population of at least two millions, are re ceiving relief from the Government in the shape of employ ment upon public works. The expense for the single month of January will be three-quarters of a million sterling. This ruinous system is to be replaced cautiously, but as speedily as possible, by a plan for giving relief in food, through local committees, without exacting work in return. The peasantry will thus be free to work for farmers or on their own hold. ings, and the expense of supplying them with food will be defrayed by local rates, subscriptions, and Government donations. Of the probable expense of this new plan no estimate is given. -We fear it will be enor mous. In connexion with this 'subject, we learn that of the vast sum already expended in poor relief on public works, end which was advanced as a loan, one-half is to be remitted. We do not know the precise amount, but a million sterling, or perhaps more, will thus be presented as a gift to the 1..-litocllords.. _Tree - ilia, al Lord John Russell says, that this; will be a hesn'y burden upon the finances of the country at a time when dear food and slackened com merce already threaten us with a financial disorder and de • pression. True it is, as he also says, that it will prevent him from proposing other measures of a remedial kind, because the State cannot afford the expense of those measures in ad dition to the gift to the landlords. True it is, as he again, and with true and lively feeling says, that the money thus to be given away is money that has been paid on their soap, and their beer, and their tea, and their sugar, by the indus trious, self-helping, and now suffering people of this country. Nevertheless, these hard-earned, hard-wrung pennies are to be swept in a mass into the pockets of the Irish land lords. Why this great injustice should be committed we really do not know. But our readers will doubtless examine Lord John Russell's speech to see if it contains a reason. The chief remaining measure proposed for the relief of present distress is a loan of 50,000/. to the landlords, payable within a year, to enable them to purchase seed for their tenants. So much for temporary measures. But the measures for permanent improvement are those which deserve our chief attention. Their object should be, in the memo rable words of the Speech from the Throne, "to raise the great mass of the people in comfort, to promote agriculture, and to lessen the pressure of that competition for the occupa tion of land which has been the fruitful source of crime and misery." What is the first of these measures ? A new series of loans to the Irish landlords for the improvement of their own estates. We are not jesting, as some of our readers may possibly think. The matter is far too serious. The next measure is excellent in principle, but likely to be so limited in its operation that we should be sorry to stake the credit of the principle upon any practical results which can be expected to flow from it. The Government will undertake the ,reclamation of such waste lands as no private owner, even with the temptation of a loan from the State, can be tempted to improve. The last of the measures determined upon by the Cabinet is the extension of the poor-law. We do not wish to pronounce an opinion on this part of the plan without an accurate knowledge of the details, but we are quite sure that " the discretion of the guardians" will turn out in practice to be no discretion at all. It is painful in the extreme, we must repeat it, to be obliged to speak as we have done of the policy of the Government in reference to the greatest subject upon which they have to legislate. But we cannot, con sistently with our own convictions, and with the views which we have repeatedly advocated, take any other course. By the proposed measures we believe that the landlords, and the landlords alone, will reap important benefit. They will be, in truth, as they have long been, the spoiled and petted children of the Legislature. Out of the starvation and dis ease and manifold wretchedness of their country they will find the means of repairing their shattered fortunes. A great public calamity they will feel and remember chiefly as having come opportunely to relieve them from the penalties of past improvidence. We confess we should have been heartily glad if a line of policy productive of such results, since it seems the inevitable doom of Ireland to be so afflicted, had been adopted by any other statesman than Lord John Russell. HERALD. —The intentions of the Government in relation to the relief of the famishing poor in Ireland were last night stated at considerable length by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons. The evil working of the public-works system has become so glaring that it is impossible that any Government should continue to pursue such a course. It was burdening the land, exhausting the Treasury, leaving agriculture neglected, and yet failing to afford any adequate support to the people. While the peasantry were employed upon the highways by day work they relaxed at once their minds and their muscles by conversation and discussion, and when this evil was attempted to be remedied by task-work, a wonderful accession of activity certainly took place, but th&PablifrariVorin'ailiar Al 41 To'ficieet this St evil, the Government proposes to allow the passing of no more presentments, and for the purpose of facilitating the transferring of the people to other kinds of employment, to use the relief committees in each electoral division, which committees are to "receive subscriptions or donations from Government, and relieve the famishing people." This is pro posed as a temporary remedy, and Sir John Burgoyne goes to Ireland to organise the plan. Another temporary remedy is menti•ced, in the shape of a vote to enable the landlords to supply seed for the next year to the small farmers who are I unabled to procure it of themselves, so that the next year's crop may not be found wanting, and the , great scarcity be so perpetuated. Of more permanent remedies these are three —the first, an Act to authorise the advance of money to landlords, for the purpose of draining, at 3 1 A per cent., pay able in 22 years, and to enable tenants for life to alienate part of their estates; the second, the expenditure of a million in the reclaiming of waste lands; and the third, a reform of the Irish Poor-law, by which the poor shall have a right to relief, which at present they have not; by which out-door relief will be given to the old and infirm, and where the workhouse is full to the able-bodied. These are in substance the measures by which Ministers propose to meet the crisis —measures which, had some of them been adopted when they were pressed upon the attention of Governments fre quently within the last half century, would have tended to save us from the occurrence of such distressing disasters as that under which Ireland now labours. As parts of a plan we must approve highly of some of these. Two of them we have taken all proper :occasions to advocate—viz., the 'ad vances for drainage and the enlargement of the poor-law. The advances for the purpose of drainage, when made with s t r ict secarity that no malversation shall be committed, cannot fail to be of infinite advantage to the country. It is lost time to inquire how it has come to p as s that the Irish landlords, are so poor as to be utterly unable to expend that money in drainage and improvement :which the condition of the land demands. For statesmen it is enough to know that the fact exists, and that it is a fact with the nature of which the mode of its coming into existence has nothing to do. Attack and denounce as much as you may think right the extravagance of the last generation o f Irish landed pro prietors, it may, perhaps, have some miraculous effect upon their successors; but do not use these assaults as a sufficient answer to a proposition for the amelioration of the people, and the removal of the annually-recurring distresses which make Ireland at once a loss and a disgrace to the empire. It would, we are satis fied, astonish the public more than any other monetmonetary re velation, if it were possible fully to ex p ose the usurious in terest which Irish proprietors have been compelled to pay for money, owing to those multitudinous and complicated embarrassments of their property which are sufficient to puzzle the most acute. An early and sufficient measure of the nature of that which Lord John Russell now proposes might have done much to avoid the disastersothat have since resulted. Late as it is, however, much good may be done by it, more especially as it relieves the borrower from the necessity of having all operations performed under the super ntendence of the Board of Works. DEATH OF ADMIRAL D'ARCEY PRESTON.—This distinguished officer died on the 21st inst., at Askar, in the county of York, aged eighty-two. He was a native of that county, and at a very early age entered the naval service as midshipman. His various commissions were thus dated : Lieutenant, November 10, 1790; commander, April 4, 1794; post-captain, June 13, 1796 ; rear - admiral , August 24, 1819 ; vice-admiral, November 12, 1840; and admiral of the blue, November 23, 1841. The latter rank was obtained by the brevet of November, 1841, on the occasion of the birth of the Prince of Wales. By the flag promotion of the 9th of November last, the gallant officer was advanced from the blue to the white. His services were chiefly rendered by coasting, cruising, and watching the enemy in their strong holds, &c. He commanded the seamen of the Boyne at the reduction of Martinique, and at the storming of Forts Royal and St. Lucia in 1794. He was captain of the Blanche man-of-war, in company with the Minerva, in the action with the Spanish squadron in 794. Te deceased was a magistrate, as well as ljeputy- 1 Lieutena h nt of his native county. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. —Yesterday m orning, at o an t early hour, a fire, nearly attended wi th loss oi l life ll r o o r k field u s. at the Dyers' Arms pu blic -house, 58, Long- a The flames were first d iscovered in the kitchen, e a Y n ' d had com municated with the club-room and spirit stores before any of the inmates could be made sensible of their danger. After censiderable trouble the residents --eleven in number—were aroused; but the house was so full of smoke that some of them were unable to descend by the staircase, and Mrs. Chapman and another party were saved by the escape be longing to the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire. Two of the lodgers did not effect their escape until the fire had penetrated their room, and they were triflingly injured. They were placed in a cab and conveyed to the workhouse. The engines being set to work , the tire wasextinguished, bat not until several rooms were burned, and the dwelling h o use and contents were seriously damaged by fire. The building and contents were insured in the Sun and Licensed Victuallers, Fire-offices. LYCEUM THEATRE. At length we have what we despaired of ever having again —an original farce. It is entitled The Wigwam, and is from the pen of Mr. Shirley Brooks. It was most suc cessful on its production here last evening, and will, no doubt, become a stock-piece. The scene is laid in the wilds of America, to which a certain Mr. Lobscouse ( F. Matthews), having to emigrate from Finsbury-square, to escape the tongue of his wife, is chosen by the Indians a chief, and becomes the renowned Fondlesquaws, hero of the red men. Pluffy Plumpton, Esq. (Mr. Keeley), having set his affec tions on Miss Lobscouse (Miss Arden), goes to America in search of her venerable father, to get his consent to their union. He falls in with the tribe, transfers his affections to Cora, the agile deer's foot (Miss M. Keeley), the chiefs adopted daughter, and assuming the name of the little fat Buffalo becomes exceedingly popular with the tribe. He, however, has a rival in the person of Mingo, the Monkey's uncle (Mr. Oxberry ), who presses his suit for the hand of Cora with all the ardour of a red man. The whole tribe, however, are thrown into con fusion by the appearance of Mrs. and Miss Lobscouse, who have come all the way from Finsbury in search of the old gentleman. They are made prisoners, but are saved by the arrival of a regiment of cavalry, when the whites, re spectively reconciled to each other, leave with the regiment, and the genuine reds are left in the en joyment of the native wilds. There is a beautiful song introduced in the course of the piece, entitled " The wild, free wind," which was exquisitely sung lay Miss Keeley, and deservedly encored. The music is by Alexander Lee, and the melody, like the melody of all Lee's compositions, is exceedingly sweet. Alexander Lee has composed more beautiful melodies than any maestro now living, and amongst the most beautiful is this exquisite song. The little fat Buffalo of Keeley, and the Fondlesquaw of F. Matthews, were exceedingly amusing, and, take it altogether, The Wigwam is the best farce that has beenintroduced for many a long day SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—TnunsDAY.

TO LONDON ADVERTISERS. rfHE "MANCHESTER EXAMINER." IMPORTANT TO GENERAL ADVERTISERS, PUBLIC COMPANIES, SOLICITORS, ESTATE AGENTS, AUCTIONEERS, PUBLISHERS, SECOND-HAND BOOKSELLERS, &c. The proprietors of the " Manchester Examiner" beg to call the attention of London advertisers to the following bona fide statement of the unexampled success which has attended that journal : " The success attending the ' Manchester Examiner' has far ex ceeded our most sanguine anticipations. No instance of such rapid and signal prosperity is to be found in the annals of the provincial press. Its average weekly circulation during the first year of its ex istence (now just terminated) has been 5,402. For a considerable period it has reached, and now regularly exceeds, 6,000,—a circula tion higher than that which the ' Manchester Guardian'—one of the most successful newspapers in the kingdom—had attained, after a career of twenty s ears of unvarying prosperity. This fact speaks for itself. It proves that we were not wrong when, at the outset, we declared it to be our opinion that there was ample room in Manchester for an honest, consistent, and carefully conducted liberal weekly journal. Let it be remembered that the Manchester Examiner,' after a twelvemonth's existence, has attained a position which it required the Guardian' twenty years of labour to establish; and the measure of our sue cess will become more strikingly apparent. The Examiner,' in point of circulation, now takes the second place among the news papers of Manchester. and ranks fifth among the three hundred and fifty provincial journals of the United Kingdom."—Manchester Examiner, Jan. 2, 1847. Solicitors, Estate Agents, Auctioneers,' Second-hand Booksellers, &c., arc respectfully invited to forward to the office of the "Man chester Examiner," for reference and distribution, Catalogues of Property, Books, Plans, and Particulars of Estates, &c., advertised in its columns. Every facility will be given to the public to consult and refer to these Catalogues and Plans. The " Examiner" circulates widely in Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire, and is, therefore, well worthy of the patronage of all who wish to advertise extensively in that densely populated part of England. Orders and advertisements may be forwarded to 22, Market street, Manchester, or through any respectable News Agent. 22, Market•street, Manchester, Jan. 23, 1847. WORKS by ROBERT .T.
