I. of their superfluous apfarel, of their more moveable articles of furniture, to buy meal for themselves and tLe'r. childrer. Some have reduced themselves to po sitive beggary by selling their one cow or their one sheep, to satisfy the cravings of hunger. An eye witness writes from the Island of Mull that several of its inhabitants might have been observed " wandering over the blackened patches of land, and pulling up here and there a shrivelled root." Another writes from North and South Uist in these affecting terms :—The cot tars " are suffering already, and - some of them, I fear, seriously, though their cry is not heard F' A third correspondent describes the privations endured by the people at Benbecula, at Uist, and at Barra, in more emphatic words. " Were Ito detail all the scenes of wretchedness and actual famine in the fa milies we saw," he exclaims, "it would melt the hearts and open the hands of every man and woman in the country." Such is the lamentable position of affairs in a considerable portion of the mainland of Scotland, and in the Scottish islands containing a population of 125,326 individuals. We are rejoiced to think that strenuous efforts are at length being made to alleviate the miseries of our afflicted countrymen. Labour still continues to be almost inaccessible, but the lack of employment by the local landowners is being in some measure compen sated through the earnest endeavours of benevolent men in the Scotch capital and elsewhere. In accordance with the recommendations of these honest and unpretending philanthropists, provisions of various descriptions have been purchased and dis tributed among some of the more necessitous districts. Meal has already, through their instrumentality, been forwarded to Barra, to Uist, to Harris, to the coasts of Ross-shire, Inverness-shire, and Argyleshire, to Skye, to Mull, to Tyree, to Coll, and to " the lumi nary of the Caledonian regions," lona. Through these active and spontaneous measures on the part of the more generous-hearted there has been an appreciable, though scarcely perceptible, diminution of the sufferings of those hitherto neglected multitudes. The example of munificence afforded by our Gracious SOVEREIGN and by the PRINCE CONSORT, must likewise act beneficially as an incitement to the philanthropic disposition of the nation. Private beneficence, however, will only be the lopping off of the branches ; it rests with the Legis lature, and the Legislature alone, to tear up these monster evils by the roots.

Since we adverted to the subject of capital punish ment, objecting to the views, and particularly to the arguments, of those who advocate its immediate aba lition, another meeting has been held to discuss the question in the Lecture Hall of the Literary Institu tion, Greenwich. 'When we call to mind the mode in which this grave subject has been treated, and the shallowness of the reasons advanced for re moving the extreme penalty of the law from the statute-book, we feel inclined to regret that any one of the recent public assemblies should ever have been congregated. In !he hands of Messrs. ROWTON, VINCENT, STEYENS, &c., who have chiefly figured at the meetings alluded to, the question has certainly not prospered —on the contrary, it hss retrograded. This failure arises not only from the unseasonableness of pressing for a momentous change in the law before the public mind and the state of society are duly prepared for it, but also from the most infelicitous blunders, as respects both facts and reasons, which have of late been committed throughout by the enemies of expia tion by the gallows. Moreover, we observe that every one of the speakers at Greenwich repeated the same fault which we have previously deprecated — that of giving a purely theological turn to the entire controversy, of introducing passages of Scripture wholesale, for the double purpose of undermining the interpretation of such as are relied upon by their opponents, and of producing others which seem to warrant 'their own conclusions. It may be urged that they are driven to scriptural argument in con sequence of the confidence with which their adver saries appeal to the Bible in support of capital punishment. In the first place, if the Abolitionists think they cannot succeed in their cause without en tering the arena of theology, they should be at some ordinary pains to come out of the conflict with ad vantage ; but we must say that all their polemical efforts have been utterly ineffective. We gave instances of this during last week, and, in * reference to what transpired at Greenwich, we could go on multiplying them ad infinitum. Let one suffice. Mr. ALFRED STEVENS, struggling with the text, " the magistrate beareth not the sword in vain," argues that the sword was only an emblem of autho rity under the Roman Emperors, and that therefore the above passage affords no argument for the power of punishment by death. Few people, we think, will be convinced by such flimsy reasoning. The word "sceptre" is purely emblematical in its signification, which " sword" is not. Had the former been found in the text instead of the latter, there might have been much in Mr. STEVENS'S observation ; but, as the text stands, its sense may be taken (rather than the reverse) to be in favour of capital punishment ; and, therefore, we consider, Mr. A. STEVENS had better not have meddled with it at all. In the next place, we must insist upon what we have written on previous occasions, that references to Holy Writ are best avoided, the question being one of human ex pediency. Does the fear of the gallows prevent people from committing murder and equally heinous offences ? The whole matter lies in the compass of this question. , It is very easy to assert that fear does not deter people from perpetrating the heaviest offences ; but fear, we know, is one of the predomi nant feelings of the human mind. Mr. FREDERICK ROWTON observed at the meeting in Hol born, that " the fear of death never re strained from the commission of murder, because in every case of murder the spirit of the ruffian had risen superior to fear." This is singular logic to wish people to infer that, inasmuch as some have overcome -the feeling of fear when the gallows stared them in the distance, others have not yielded to the terrible apprehension, and been deterred from depriving of life their unoffending fellow-beings. It has never been surmised that, imperfectly consti tuted as society now is, compared with what we believe it may be brought to by the advances of civilisation, a violent and disgraceful death would infallibly repress the crime of murder. But if the present •law has had the effect, by working upon the fears of mankind, of saving innocent men frotn the assassin's blow, then is it humane and beneficial. How far it has had this effect, it has been, and so long as the law lasts, will ever be problematical, for it is obvious, that men who have meditated murder, and from which they have alone been deterred by th e apprehension of forfeiting their lives upon the gallows, would not run about bruiting to their neighbours the devilish purpose they had fostered and that cowardice alone had thwarted its gratification. Too much stress appears to be laid upon the fact that many who have been hanged had previously been present at executions. This only shows how fearfully debased, in: all probability, their minds were when they first looked upon the apparatus of death, and by no means militates against what is also very probable, viz., that many .. _ have quitted the scene of an execution im. pressed ^ with the awfulness of the spe c tacle, and with the resolution never to subjec :hemselves to so ignominious an end. Again, the effect of example is not limited to the immediate pre cincts of the gallows. By reading and hearsay, it is extended throughout the land, and the knowledge is universal that if one man raises his arm to cut short the days of another, his life shall pay the penalty of his fearful transgression. The bet way of getting rid of capital punishment is to ameliorate the social condition of the people, and, above all, to educate them. By these means, incentives to crime would be removed, and the public mind become gradually elevated to embrace the conviction, and to act up( n it, that individual and national prosperity are best consulted when the law is best observed. Already have the anticipations we recently put forward been realised, already have large sums of money been subscribed with a liberality worthy of the sacred cause that has called forth these voluntary donations. The British Association for the Relief of Extreme Cases of Distress in the Remote Parishes of Leland and Scotland has been formed, a committee has been appointed, and the names of the gentlemen who have kindly consented to aid by their exertions in procuring contributions, and seeing to the correct and proper expenditure of the snms that may be se collected, and which appeared in our ad, eet',iee columns of Thursday, et ill afford the strongest guarantee of the honour and integrity with which the fund will be managed, and of its judicious application to the desired purposes. On the very day of the formation of this humane association more than 13,000/. sterling was subscribed to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked. The list was appropriately headed with the name of her Most Gracious MAJESTY, who in a spirit worthy of her exalted station, of the deep and affectionate interest ehe takes in everything affecting even the humblest of her subjects, of open handed charity and true benevolence, set the example to her subjects, by the munificent donation of 2,000/. Her august Consort followed in a similar spirit, with a sum of 500/. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, an English nobleman, of the highest rank, the proprietor of wide-Tread and extensive domains in Ireland, con tributed the splendid gift of 1,000/., while six of our leading mercantile firms sustained the character of the merchant princes of our land by similar subscrip tions. The Premier, the Home Secretary, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer evinced the anxiety of the Government to relieve to the utmost the fearful destitution, not only by their public acts, but by their private liberality—a precedent which will doubtless be followed by their colleagues in office and their Ritical supporters; while Sir R. PEEL exhibited the same promptitude to relieve the wants of his fellow creatures that he did in responding so speedily to the appeal of the highly-gifted, but unfortunate HaynoN, at a moment when pressed to the uttermost with official cares and the necessity of rebutting a most virulent but plausible attack on his personal conduct and character. Many other well-known and di=a tinguished gentlemen have likewise come forward most nobly, and day by day the list will be increased, the sum total will be magnified by the addition of many names, and large sums of money. We are proud of our countrymen, we knew that an appeal, if well founded, was never fruitlessly made to their better feelings. It was sufficient to satisfy them that there was distress and suffering, that it could be mitigated by the application of money or exertion, and the response was invariably the same—worthy of Englishmen, worthy of Christians. They stretched forth the hand of charity to the sufferer. They relieved his wants and soothed his afflictions. They paused not to inquire how the wretchedness had originated, by whose default it was occasioned, whether the sufferer himself had acted prudently and dis creetly, or whether he had evinced gratitude fur former benefits or past favours. The urgency of the wants—the pressing necessity of the applicant—was. all that was inquired into; past errors were forgotten, or only considered after the emergency had been suc cessfully encountered, in deciding on the means of preventing the recurrence of similar evils : in any case his present necessities were supplied, whether out of their superfluities, or, if necessary, by re- stricting themselves, and abating some of their usual and accustomed luxuries or comforts. Their benevo lence knew no limitation, in its objects it was bounded by no cold or selfish considerations; whstevsr the country, the creed, or the colour of the unfortu naqe, it was the same ; assistance was sure to be afforded, and they have had, and will have, their reward. The respect entertained throughout the globe for the English character; the national prosperity that has blessed our existence, and which is chiefly owing to the excellence of that character, and which hays placed a comparatively small island amongtlie leseding powers of the earth ; the inappreciable de lights of a conscience at peace with itself; the intense gratification, the luxury of doing good, but, above all, the blessings that are extended to nations, as well as, individuals, who have well and truly discharged the great duty of Christianity—all reward such praise worthy conduct. It is needless to dwell on the extreme necessity t: tat now unfortunately exists for extensive aid; What day has elapsed without a considerable portion of our columns being filled with the heartrending d etails of misery such as has rarely been equalled, r ever surpassed? The statement of the Rev. Mr. 'CAULFIELD of the deaths that have taken place in his own immediate district, where, in the months of November and December last, 218 of our fellow c reatures were cut off from the combined effects of p estilence and famine, while in the corresponding rn onths of 1845 only seven fell victims--an increase Ln ore than thixty-fold—sufficiently attests the fearful n ature ofthe visitation on our Irish brethren. Thousands upon thousands are exposed to equal wants. The lardy Highlander is in similar difficulty. 400,000 of 61 , children and brethren of those who never deserted eir country in the hour of danger, who aided to fiwht our battles, to roll back the tide of war from our shores, have been deprived of their principal, if not th eir sole means of subsistence, by the destruction of th a potato, their chief article of food. The fund to be collected will be most properly applied to their ex gencies as well as to those of the Irish poor, it will be expended in the distribution of food, cloth , and of fuel ; by an excellent regulation, no mc. ney aid is to be given in any case. The objects of the :charity, the recipients of the bou n ty, w ill b e c hi e fly sel acted from the sick an d t h e i nf i rm, the w i dows andl the orphans, for such, alas ! are to be found am angst the sufferers who have no earthly protectors, self( ) are unable to avail themselves of the means affh :ded by the Government measures, but none will be e ocempt from relief—the extent of their necessities will' constitute their title to assistance wherever it is prac licable. Some equivalent, in the shape of labour will be required from those able to give it, to be ape plied' to some useful purpose ; so th at none b ut the • ince , iable will be suffered to eat the bread of idleness, and . ivery possible precaution will be taken against the a buse of the public beneficence. Any persons feelin ; peculiar interest in any of the suffering dis tricts may indicate the localities to which their con tribut ions should especially be applied, which will be strictl; v observed by the committee. A large and p owe r I steamer will be immedi a t e l y di spa t c h e d t o , Irelam.

Three electoral colleges will be ,shortly convoked in con sequence of the double returns of MM..

The Committee o 2 the Address can scarcely pre sent its reply to the Speech from the Throne before Jan. 23, and the public discussion would in that case cow mence on the 25th, supposing that the Chamber of Peers had already, at that period, voted its Address. The Committee en the Address in the Chamber of Peers will be appointed on the day after the ro) al sitting." The Cunstitutionnel replies to an article in the Deba!s of the day before, and denies the truth' of the rumour alluded to in the Ministerial journal, to the effect that the re was a schism in the Opposition ranks, and that MM. DUFAURE and BILLAULT would ex press their approval of M. GuizoT's conduct in the affair of the Spanish marriages. It is not of much consequence what line of conduct MM. DUFAURE and BrLLAuLT may deem it expedient to pursue. They are both crotchetty, second-rate men, absolutely without followers. They may join in a gig, but they could not manage a dilly. M. BIL LAULT is only celebrated for his unreasonable and unreasoning hatred of England and the English. There is a long article in the Revue des deux Alondes which may be considered as M. GuizoT ' s official statement of his own case, as regards the Spanish marriages. In this article, it is admitted that an engagement was entered into at Eu, and the English Minister is charged with .at tempting to violate it. With the exception of this admission of the existence of the engagement of Eu, which it will be remembered was denied by the Presse and some of the other organs of the dynasty, there is nothing new on the subject in this long article. In reply to the accusation of a violation of the engagement on the part of Lord PALMERSTON by the alleged presentation Of a Coburg candidate, the National observes : "If M. Guizot had merely opposEd a Coburg candidate for the hand of Queen Isabella, we should have applauded him without reserve. To marry the Queen to Thurbon was well. To prevent a new scion of the Coburg from spoiling a younger branch was to be permitted. But this conquest could have lx.en accomplished by the union of la with Don Fro. no. :!co. The blood of PhilipV., would hav, been atistit d. The crown Spain would have re inaii;ea on the heal of hi; descendants. The Coburg would lutvc been set aside, and Eug:and would have mt: t a cheek. What npc;.s.•ity, therefore, was there for concluling the second marriage so preApitately?" After ;;ping through the hietory of the various pre tenders to the hand of the QUEEN, TRAPPANI, MON TEMOI.IN, DOTI ENRIQUE, and Don FRANCISCO, to ail of whom it was offered on one condition, viz., that the Duke DE MONTPENSIER should marry the Infanta, the National thus concludes : " Why then this condition, if your only object aas to preserve the blood of Philip V.? Come, be candid; you possessed easy and honourable means to exclude the Coburg, and to give satisfaction to the Spanish nation, to maintain at the same time the policy announced by you in full Parliament; and we shall be candid liken ise—you would have done so had the Infanta been poor —you would have done so if you were not impelled by your ava rice. It was for the interest of the country, for a national question, for the honour of our flag, or for the grandeur of France, that you risked the displeasure of England. It was not through love of a d venture t h at you deranged your general policy, and induced the northern Powers to offer you an insolent challenge. Cease, therefore, to speak to us eternally of your ' blood of Philip V.,' and of the secular interests of the country.' Y o u might have maintained your right ; you were a thousandfold right not to suffer England to impose a Coburg on Spain; you had the power of resolving the question of the marriages without injury to your royal pretensions, or without incurring the displeasure of the immense majority of Spaniards; but you preferred to incur risks and to provoke the most serious consequences. You have gained a handsome marriage portion ; but look round you, and tell us what portion of it France has received." The Reforme announces that the general rise in the price of grain in the different markets round Paris had been felt in that capital on 'Wednesday. Wheat and barley had augmented by if. the hectolitre on that day, and flour in a similar proportion. Wheat sold at from 49f. 50c. per hectolitre and a half. The price of 50f. was the highest reached in Paris since harvest. Flour of the first quality was offered by the millers at 89f. the 157 kilogrammes. The receipts of the Northern Railroad for the week ending the 31st ult. were 213,500 f. - Four steamers, laden with corn, had foundered in the Rhone, on their way to Lyons.

From au hectic sources we have learnt that Mr. Lumley, in providing for the ensiling campaign, has succeeded be yond his usual success. Three of the greatest lyrical composers of the age will contribute new works for the season. Lablache, a host in himself, will be supported by Gardini Fraschini Superebi (Verdi's favourite hero), Colletti, and Staudiel, The orchestra is composed of artistes of tried abilities, at the head of whom are Tol bccque and Nadaud, and a chorus of extraordinary power has been selected with great care. The ballet will be under the direction of Paul Taglioni and Perrot. The pas de quatce, and the pas de classes, will be revived, with the aid of Taglioni, Lucille Grahn, Cerito, Car lotta Grisi, and Rosati, a young Italian dancer of distm guisceed ability. ‘Ve believe we might add, that the vocal &partment will be enriched by other talent of no ordinary power. ILLNESS OF MISS I'AUCIT.—We regret to say that the sudden illness of Miss Faucit disappointed a large audience last ev: ning. The house was full, including the boxes, when it was announced that Miss Faucit, who was to play Mrt. Haller, was tco ill to appear. Of course, the audience immediately rose, and departed. We understand that Miss Faucet would have played at any risk, but her physician told her that if she did she would certainly rupture a blood-vessel, and that the con sequences might he fatal ; and, with the judicieus im nerativeness of the faculty, he would not allow her to iiiiit her chamber.—Cork Examiner. on . r. o i r n d George mareh, I \l B - 1 4 1 : - 'The Adeiphi Theatre is about to be rebuilt on a larger scale; adjoining properties have been purchased of 10,000/ vested in whorllf i o a r mT t i h 7 . bß e t yliii p ciii U sleel r i p ioi : fa.

The officers who distinguished themselves on the night of the 26th November, by burning the Creole, also suc ceeded in capturing seven Mexican prisoners. No one injured except Passed Midshipman Hynson, who was burned by firing his pistol into some powder to set the brig on fire—he is doing well. 6n the morning of — the 2d December, Cora. Perry sailed from Tampico on an expedition not known, with the following vessels of war :—Steamer Mississippi, steamer Vixen, sloop John Adams, and schooners Bonita and Petrel. Com.

Earnestly is it to be hoped that the extraordinary destitution, at present existing in Ireland, may not so completely engross the attention of the Legislature and the benevolent sympathies of the people, as to create an impression that the destitution of the Scottish population is a grievance of secondary im portance. There has been less clamour front the sufferers in the Northern provinces of the United Kingdoms, but there has not been less wretchediness than in the Western provinces. So little parade has been made of the desolation of the Highlands, and of the utter want of provisions in the Hebrides, and in the majority of the islands of Zetland, that unless an association of philanthropic individuals had, on their own responsibility, accumulated facts illustra tive of the extent to which that desolation had been experienced, and published the particulars of that dismal intelligence, we should have been disinclined to credit the rumours which werepreviously very pre valent. No doubt now exists as to the necessitous condition of many thousands in Caledonia ; a mvoral conviction of the exigencies of that portion of our fellow-countrymen is inevitable from a considera tion of these statements. The accuracy of the data proving the existence of these exigencies cannot be for a moment questioned : the character of the association which has been mainly instrumental in the collection of those data is a convincing gua rantee of their authenticity. As in the starvation among the Irish peasantry, the proximate cause of the present vs ant is discernable only in the murrain of the potatoes. However lamentable may have been the devastation caused by that mysterious blight in other quarters of Great Britain and in the diffeunt countries of continental Europe, the devastation in Scotland has been scarcely less general, and certainly not one jot less calamitous. It is estimated that not less than 400,000 souls are the victims of inanition in consequence of that ter rible visitation, or in more comprehensible langus ge, that very nearly one-sixth of the entire populatio& of Scotland is threatened with actual starvation. Can anything more be wanting to stimulate Parliament in effecting some suitable measures of alleviation, or to enkindle the generosity of the more fortunate me m hers of this populous and (on the average) most flourishing community ? There is assuredly in the foregoing assertion an irresistible incitement to com passion, but, above all, there are in the terrible truths of that calculation additional testimonies of the ne cessity of a legislative examination of the deficiencies of the system of landlord and tenant. While the agricultural labourers in various directions throughout the British islands are liable to such fre quent impoverishment, it is folly, it is madness, it is cruelty, to maintain the perfection of a system by the operation of which their lives are so continually endangered, and their comforts rendered so per petually insignificant. Presuming that no permanent amelioration could be afforded to this class of society by the modification of the Agrarian Code, savage life would be infinitely preferable to, because infinitely safer than, existence under the shadow of such an afflictive civilisation. It would be preferable, espe cially because of the resources afforded by primitive society in every moment of hazard or emergency; because with the barbarian the barrenness of the soil, and the unproductiveness of the chase, and the scarcity of fruits and berries, are always remediable by the simplest of all imaginable resources—migra tion. With the field-labourers, under the existing state of' society, there is no available means of restoration to abundance. When the crops of potatoes in Ireland and Scotland, and the crops of chesnuts in France, and the crops of melons in the Peninsula are partially, and even sometimes entirely destroyed, the peasantry are at once involved in difficulties, from which extrication by themselves is absolutely impos sible. The very ground is poisoned with decayed tubers, or the trees are shorn of their ordinary pro duce by a fluctuation in the atmosphere, from which there is no protection. The peasantry are out of em ployment, because for the time being there is com paratively no labour whatever to do ; they are with out money for the purchase of provisions cultivated in some less afflicted country ; they are unable to remove en masse to a more pros perous province, they are unable even to remove singly by reason of their necessitous con dition. The result is, they are entirely dependent upon their respective landlords and employers, upon the nation at large, upon the Legislature, upon the law. They are incapable of emerging of themselves from the quagmire of destitution, they want stronger hands to lift them out, they want a more capacious intelligence to prevent the repetition of similar mi series, they want a stauncher sympathy than has been hitherto evinced towards them in the regulations and enactments relating to alriculture and its labourers. On glancing through the Statement recently pub lished by the acting committee of the Free Church - - we are irresistibly persuaded of the soundness of the foregoing opinions. When such fearful woes are Possible in an empire as remarkable for its opulence as for its industry, it is quite certain that there must be a necessity for some extraordinary alteration in the relations existing betwee n the proprietors of the soil and the workers of the soil. hi In th e s hi res o f Suther entire lend, R Hebrides and in the os s , Inverness, and Argyle, throughout the oup of Z e tl an d gi there is a f r i g htf u l want of provisio ns , a general cessation of employment, and a complete deprivation of th e mos t ordinary means of obtaining sustenance. Both the cottars and the crofters are in volved in the most serious difficulties. Many have been compelled to dispose of their scanty live stock, Do. E, Do.
