EDMUND HALSWELL, Chairman. Board Room, October.l3, 1847. THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT, 8, LIIDGATE-HILL, SIDNEY and COMPANY, Proprietors. The rapidly progressive increase in the consumption of Tea and Coffee is one of the pleasing features of the age. The people abstain ing to a considerable extent from the indulgence of intoxicating li quors, more especially from ardeit spirits, have become thoughtful, the nation energetic and powerful. The very interesting statistical iccounts published by order of the Rouse of Commons at once show that both Tea and Coffee are com paratively of modern use in these kingdom?, and that only within the last few years have they become the ordinary beverage of the people. They are no longer received as luxuries attainable by the wealthy, but aided by the wisdom of the Legislature in throwing open the markets of the East, prices have been brought within the range of all classes of the community. The Customs' duties on Coffee were very considerably lowered in the celebrated Tariff Bill of Sir Robert Peel in 1842 ; and it is grati fying to know that the revenue has been benefited by such reduction, and the consumption, from 28 million pounds in 1842, increased to upwards of 36 million pounds in 1844. The duties levied upon Tea are enormous. In the past year this article alone yielded the sum of 5,110,8971. 15s. 9d. is the revenue. It is the prevailing opinion, that if Parliament on its assembling should reduce the tea duties to one-half their present rate (and the select committee appointed by the House of Commons recommend the adoption of such a measure), the consumption would be so vastly augmented, as to fully yield an equivalent revenue to that hitherto derived from this source, and by thus cheapening an article so ge nerally esteemed, extend the comfort and social habits of the com munity. The system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been actuated by the principles of fair dealing, in meetinx the altered cir cumstances of the markets as they arise. This course has been ap preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefully acknowledge a large share of confidence and patronage. The present year's importation of Tea is likely to be very large ; and this circumstance has had a marked effect upon the value of all descriptions, which, added to the derangement of the Money Market, has tended to depreciate prices below all former precedent. COFFEE —The importation is an average one, the quality good, Prices low. We invite attention to the following quotations : Previously Present sold at price, per lb. per lb. BLACK TEAS. s. d. s. d.

MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES. —The money-market to-day has been thrown into a singular state of uncertainty and ex citement from accounts received of the suspension of the Royal Bank of Liverpool. The paid-up capital of the bank is 600,0001, being a much larger amount than that of a - .iy similar establishment in the town, and hence, when its stoppage became positively known, the strongest anxiety was felt for some authorised details of its actual position. In London, however, no parties were in possession of particulars, the agents of the bank, Messrs. Robarts, Curtis, and Co. (who, we are happy to say, are entirely free from advances or commitments of any kind in connexion with it) having been permitted to remain in entire ignorance of the event. It is generally understood, however, that the bank, about ten days back, applied to the Bank of England for an advance upon bills, and that, although this assistance was declined in money, it was granted to them in stock, which was at once thrown upon the market, and tended to in crease the heaviness which about that period began to manifest itself. Previously to that time, and since, large sales of the shares o f th e b an k, which at the commencement of the ye ar ' were a t 3651. premium, the price being 865/. with 50 0 1 pa id , we re forced at Liverpool, and discredit h av i ng t h us b eco me attached to it, rumours were in constant cireulation. After the assistance it was un d ers t o od to have obtained, however, th e pu bli c were scarcely prepared to hear of it s i mme di ate stoppag e. An in fluential London shareh o ld er , a l arme d, it is said, at the reports which were p reva l ent, star ted for Liver pool on Saturday with a v i ew to an i n vestigation of its affairs, and this was followed by an immediate suspension of payment, and by the dispatch of a de putation of three directors to the Bank of England, with an appeal for further aid, the ams.ant required being stated at about 500,0001. This application, however, has been declined. That the results of the suspension will prove very unfavourable for the shareholders is now generally believed, since, as an illustration of the management of the bank, it is affirmed by some parties, that in one case an advance has been permitted, to a single firm, of not less than 500,0001., of which only 50,0001. is covered by security. This, however,'as well as the other reports we have mentioned, must be taken without reliance upon their correctness. In some quarters, even after its po sitive announcement, the failure was still doubted; but this arose from Messrs. Robarts and Co. having re ceived a remittance in ;the morning, which they had paid according to instructions, and from their not having subsequently had any information of what was going forward. It may be mentioned that the num ber of shareholders in the bank is 250, and that it was established in the year 1836. The English Funds opened this morning at an ad vance of a quarter per cent. on the closing prices of yesterday, the first quotation of Consols, for money, being 81 to The difficulties of the Royal Bank, however, speedily transpired, and a fall then com menced, which left the price at the close of business as low as 791; a point whence they further declined, after the regular hours, until they reached 791 or 791. For the account they began at 81f to advanced to 81+, and receded to 801 13-, bargains being afterwards done at 801, and finally we believe at 80. Bank Stock left off 180 to 182 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 78i ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 79i to 80 ; Indian Stock, 220 to 224 ; India Bonds, 40s. to 30s. dis, and Long Annuities, 8. Ex chequer-bills in the morning were quoted 15s. dis., and closed sellers at 30s. In the Stock Exchange to-day the rate for money was from 7to 10 per cent. Both at the Bank of England and out of doors the demand was less urgent. Letters from Liverpool, received this morning, mention the stoppage of Mr. William Pearse, an agent, who had drawn largely upon Barclay, Brothers, and Co., for shipments to India, and also of Messrs. Molyneux and Hulbert, tea brokers. In the share market several defaulters are reported. A meeting was held this afternoon of the creditors of Messrs. Cockerell,' , Larpent and Co., at which the chair was taken by. Mr. Samuel Gregson, M.P., and the following statement, which had been prepared by Mr. Oliverson, the solicitor, in conjunction with Mr. Hall, was submitted for consideration : That the debts of the houce in open accounts amount That the house is under ac ceptances for ...

In the formidable te *t whole , of be consi dered appears to be due from the item 435,5001. Calcutta em house, we have a sufficient explanation of the cause of the stop page, and also the indication as to th e p r i nc ipal co- tingency upon which the character of the liquidation will depend. It appears that securities are held against a portion of the amount in the shape of indigo facto ries and other proper t y , which have hitherto been estimated at 200,0001., although, of course, it must be expected that they will not produce that sum when a realisation shall be attempted. The item of 339,0001., "which is in course of remittance," arises, it was stated by the chairman , from .. c ,_ , .i 8 oas shpped by the London house during the past and present year, all of which are, in the regular cour se of business, to be remitted for during the present season. It was further stated to the meeting that Mr. Mar tin, who was formerly a partner in the Calcutta house, and who is intimately acquainted with the various properties, had gone carefully through the last balance-sheet of that house (made up to the end of April, 1846, along with other parties conversant with the commerce of India, and that " their very confi dent opinion is, that it will be found fully competent to meet all its liabilities, and that nothing but a most unwarrantable sacrifice of property by panic and forced sales can defeat its capacity to do so.' Under these circumstances it was finally arranged by the meeting that the estate shall be wound up under in spection, and that Mr. Martin, who is still interested in the concern, shall proceed to Calcutta, accompanied, if it be deemed fit, by some other competent person, wholly unconnected with either hou s e, in order to protect the interests of the creditors generally. Mr. Samuel Gregson, M r . Edward Mills, . Mr. John Horsley Palmer, and Mr. 3. D. Campbell were then appointed inspectors. 5,0001. was agreed to be set apart for the liquidation of small claims not exceeding 100/., and an understanding. was come to that divi dends will be made from to time whenever there may be sufficient funds in hand to distribute 10 per cent. Mr. Cockerell, Sir Geo r g e Larpent, and other part ners were present, and it was evident from the tone of the meeting that they retain the entire confidence of all the creditors. CHRONICLE. —The memorial of the Liverpool merchants to Lord John Russell has excited consider able interest in the City to-day, which has not been diminished by the events which have taken.place. It is remarked that it differs very little in effect from the petition of the London bankers before the Bank Act became law, urging that the power of increasing the issues on an immergency should not be withdrawn from the bill ; and as this petition was supported by all the clearing bankers with the exception of Mr. Jones Loyd, whose house withdrew their signature in consequence of his- remonstrance, it will not be out of place to bring it again prominently under notice. It was as follows : " We, the undersigned bankers of London, are in duced by the importance . of the me asure , an d our in terest in its success, to address you upon the subject of the Bank Charter Bill, now before Parliament. " We were led to believe, when the measure was first brought forward—and we feel confident it was generally understood throughout the. .country—that although it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment that the paper circulation of the Bank of Eng land, in their issue department, should be lithited to an amount not exceeding 14,000,0001. upon securities, yet that, in the event of any particular crisis arising, a power was to be reserved by the Bill enabling the Bank of England, with the consent of the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Master of the Mint, to extend their issue, upon securities, beyond that amount. " It was with considerable surprise that we find that the Bill now before the House of Commons does not contain any provision for an extension of the issue beyond 14,000,000/. upon securities, excepting under the special circumstances named in the fifth clause of the Bill now before Parliament. f ` t ‘ h W e i e s s a u r e e a t o p pl. e 4 h , o e o n o s o v e 0 o t l h . t w t i h t e h o a u b t s o l a a n t y e pourer li m i tat i ono o f expansion being reserved, whether that amount be in itself a proper amount or not, will create a general feeling of uneasiness throughout the country, and, by preventing the satisfactory reception of the measure, will deprive the scheme of many of the advantages it possesses, and interfere with its success. " We respectfully submit that the effect of such an absolute limitation will be to restrict the business of the country, by leading to a general withdrawal of legitimate accommodation, unless some power be re served by the Bill for extending the issue, with the sanction of the authorities above alluded to, in cases of emergency, to be made apparent to such autho rities.

L. ITAM'S Clothing, lat, and Outfitting Establishment, M, Graceehnrch-street. TO THE LADIES, - _ This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Its. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet pernime itis far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and ,revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may ass this delightful product of the nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops a the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' cads, it has'such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art , alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, syinpathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse •sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost coalidence should be extended.

A public meeting of the West London Central Anti-Inclosure Association was held at Clarke's Rooms, Edgeware-road, last evening, pursuant to an advertisement, for the purpose of taking measures to prevent Lord Holland from depriving the public of the footpath in front of Holland House, Kensington. There were about twenty persons present. Mr. P. Amor; took the chair, and said he thought that the proposed change of the footpath, instead of being an injury would be a very great benefit to the public, and he hoped Mr. Griffiths, the secretary, who had convened the meeting, would not take any fur ther steps in the matter. Lord Holland's proposed diversion of the footpath would be a; great benefit to the public. Mr. GRIFFITHS said that the magistrates, at quarter sessions, had refused their sanction to Lord Holland's application, and his Lordship had since proposed a less objectionable course; but it appeared that the board of surveyors were urging Lord Holland not to make such concession. Mr. G. then read a letter from Mr. Hume, M.P., regretting he could not be present, but sympathising with the objects of the meeting. The speaker concluded by proposing that a committee should be appointed to take such steps as might be necessary for opposing any deviation from the existing footpath. The resolution having been seconded, Mr. STALWOOD moved an amendment to the effect that the proposed path offered as a diversion of the footway by Lord Holland, was far superior, and infi nitely more popular, than the existing one. Mr. MAasu said Mr. Joseph Hume had certainly been wrongly informed, for it must be evident to every inhabitant of the locality that the proposed new footpath would be a great boon to the neigh bourhood. . . . Several other persons expressed a similar opinion. A show of hands was then taken, and the amend ment carried by a large majority, only three hands being held up against it. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. DINNER EXTRAORDINARY.-A few days ago the proprietor of the Cafe Anglais sent to seek the guard to arrest a gentleman, who, after having made, in company with a friend, a splendid dinner of 701., had allowed the friend to depart, and had written to the proprietor, begging that he might be given into custody. On the arrival of the guard they found that the gentleman was very soft spoken, and extremely polite. " Gentlemen," said he, with a low bow, "I thank you sincerely for the trouble you have taken ; have the kindness, if you please, to conduct me to the guard-house as a prisoner!" "You will not, then, pay for your dinner ?" " I should like to do nothing better, for it was excellent, but I have not a farthing in the world !" " Then why have you made a dinner of 70f. ?" "To get arrested." " What a strange idea !" exclaimed the guard, "Perhaps it is; but what would you have !" returned the polite stranger. " I have not the courage to commit suicide, and I will not turn thief. I have already done enough, but I will not dishonour myself completely. I know the law—l shall have three months'. mprisonment." The polite dinner-eater then went on to say that he was a sergeant in the 70th Regiment on leave of absence; but that, having sold his equipments, he could not venture to return to his regiment. He had had, he said, nothing but that dinner for five days ; and he had chosen the Cafe Anglais to dine at, because he thought it could afford the loss. " But why not have contented yourself with a simple dinner of eight francs or ten francs?" asked the perplexed proprietor. "If I had you would, perhaps, not have detained me." " Per haps not." " Well, then, :you see, my dear sir, that I did well to take the dinner of 70f. I have arranged my affair perfectly well. I wanted to be arrested, and yet to commit the least offence possible. Have me arrested without delay, my dear sir, I beg of you!" His wish was complied with, and he was conveyed to the guard house. On the road he continued to express himself in the politest possible manner, and to offer repeated ex. cuses for the trouble he had occasioned. He had taken a great deal of wine and spirits at his dinner, but was not tipsy, and nothing in his manner showed that he was acting a 'part. On reaching the guardhouse he himself pointed out the cell in which he was to be locked up, and when the guard left him he again politely demanded pardon for the trouble he had given, and most courteously bade them good night. Shortly after he was loeked up it was discovered that a silver dish which had been placed on his table was missing. The polite gentleman, on being questioned, strenuously denied having taken it. He, however, after some hesita tion, gave the name and address of the person with whom he had dined, and who, as already stated, left before the prisoner declared his inability to pay. This individual was arrested.— Galignani's Messenger. A melancholy instance, occasioned by the danger ous habit of playing with fire-arms, occurred last week in the family of Alfred Power, Esq., Poor-law Commis sioner in Dublin. In consequence of a recent attempt to break into the house, Mr. P. loaded a brace tof pistols in case of further attack, carefully, during the day, putting them in what he deemed an "out-of-the-way place.' His youngest boy, aged seven years, unfortu nately saw his father deposit them, and in his absence placed some books on a chair, and succeeded in getting one, when, going, to the top of the stairs, he called to his sister, who was ascending, " Mind your eye, or I'll shoot you," !little imagining the weapon to be loaded, or that the words spoken in play were to be so horribly verified. He pulled the trigger, and the ball passed through his sister's heart. SALE OF LAND RECLAIMED FROM THE SEA.—.& few days ago were offered for sale, by the Nene Outfell Commissioners, at Wisbech, 960 acres of land, in 27 lots, being their portion of between 3,000 and 4,000 acres that have been gained from the sea, by the completion of their great work. The lots varied from 7 acres to 180 ; and the reserved bid for the several lots varied from about 45/. to 801. per acre; and though none of the lots were actually sold at these prices, above 60/. per acre was bid for lot 24, containing 103 acres, and for some of the smaller lots higher prices were offered. Prices like these would have been deemed high a few years ago, in every part of the country, for land in a high state of cultivation ; but that such prices should be offered for is l s a o n i lad fact auittn England e ao c nr o dt v h e i sr r eei recording, from nocrrdeiansgi ;i t g h a e s i ni s t e v a sah , laounwe and d t ywi increas i ng d er t ra e e pa n ids c ny o gstehe, at this point also in extent.

[PiticE SD. IRELAND. MEETINGS OF THE PEASANTRY-SEI ZURE OF CATTLE AND POTATOES. DUBLIN, OCT. 17.—The Limerick Examiner, re ceived this day, contains the following account of a very extraordinary movement in that county, where the labouring classes, congregating in large numbers, demand relief, and, failing to obtain what they re quire, seize upon the cattle and potatoes of the gentry and clergy, not even exempting the pastors of the Roman Catholic Church! Two meetings of this kind are described in the subjoined letters. Those assembled at the first were induced, by the persua sions of the parish priest, to restore the property they had appropriated, including his own cattle, as well as those of a magistrate, Mr. Fetherstone, and of the Rev. Mr. Massy, a clergyman of the Established Church. But the peasantry who attended the second meeting plundered the parish priest in the first in stance, and retained the spoils, consisting of nine barrels of potatoes. You will observe, in the ac count of this strange agrarian movement, that the peasantry exhibited extreme indignation when Mr. Fetherstone explained to them the arrangements con templated under the new poor-law, by which, in order to apply the workhouse test, the able-bodied were to be relieved within the house, whilst the aged and infirm were to obtain out-door relief. Consider able difficulty may yet be experienced on this very point, and great firmness will be required, on the part of Government and the Poor-law Commissioners, in enforcing the workhouse test. GARRYFINE, TUESDAY NIGHT, OCT. 12, NINE O'CLOCK.—The meeting of the peasantry, which was to have taken place yesterday on the hill of Garryfine (and which excited so much attention in the country) was postponed by general consent to this day. At an early hour this morning the peasantry from the surrounding localities flocked in multitudinous masses to the focus of attraction, and at the hour of twelve o'clock the hill of Garryfine presented a most formi dable appearance. There could not have been less than 2,000 persons assembled on the occasion. The meeting was held on that part of the mountain which is nearest the Croom road, and on its highest summit the people took their stand to proclaim their miseries and make known their wants. The sound of the peasants' bugle was heard from all directions during the greater part of the day, and owing to the elevated position of the meeting the inhabitants of the Bruree, Rockhill, Charleville, Killacolla, and Drew's-court, could easily discern the assemblage. At the hour of three o'clock the meeting proceeded to deliberate, and after a few moments it was unani• mously resolved that all should proceed to the resi dence of Mr. Fetherstone, Bruree, and in the name of mercy and suffering humanity invoke his friendly aid and intercession at a crisis pregnant with misery and woe. On the way to Bruree the proces sion halted at Rockhill, and drew up opposite the residence of the Rev. Mr. Ryan, P.P. The Rev. Mr. Ryan was absent on parochial duties in a distant part of the parish, and the Rev. Mr. Meany, the re spected and worthy curate of Rockhill, presented himself before the people, and addressed them in brief but appropriate terms. The Reverend Gentle man advised them to preserve order, and refrain from any manifestation of indignant feeling or out rage on property, which might expose them to the consequences of the law. He would advise them to make known their grievances in a proper quarter. Let them form themselves into a deputation, draw up a proper statement of their wants, and wait on the poor-law guardians of the Kilmallock union. He had no doubt that such a step would be found to be the proper one, and which - ultimately would lead to sue. cess. But above all, he would admonish them to respect the rights of property, to act legally, consti tutionally, in the furtherance of their objects. Should they violate the law, they themselves would be the sufferers ; they would be dragged from their homes, wives, and children, like felons, and immured in the cold walls of a prison. —(A voice—" We'd be fed there, and not allowed to starve.") [Here some countrymen spoke in the vernacular, and occupied the.attention of the people a moment.] The Rev. Gentleman's friendly admonition was listened to with the greatest attention, and the meeting promised implicit obedience to his precepts. Mr. MiTinw, who was in company with the Rev. Mr. Meany at the earliest stage of the proceedings, next ascended an eminence near the door of Father Ryan, and addressed the people for some minutes in a speech which was freqdently interrupted by loud applause. He said—My suffering friends, as one of the people—as an Irishman, and a lover of order— perhaps you will permit me to second the excellent ad vice of your excellent clergyman, Father Meany.—(A Voice, " You're welcome.") It cannot, alas ! be denied that your complaints are but too reasonable, and founded on the forlorn wretchedness of your situation. As this is not a political meeting, it is not my province to explain the cause of your sufferings. Your suffer ings are many—they are depicted in your counte nances; they afford a melancholy lecture to the phi lanthropist and the benevolent. This is a land of wheat and barley, where no man should starve. — (Cheers.) Go then to the fountain-head, and ask bread. Go to the poor-law guardians of the Kilmal lock Union, and tell them your tale; they cannot but hear you; but above all be patient, be forbearing, and commit no breach of the peace. Respect the sacred right of property, and keep within the limits of th• constitution. Petition, demand, implore, and suppli cate, until your grievances are remedied.—(Cheers.) The horn was next blown as a signal for departure, and in a moment the procession moved on to Bruree. Arrived in that locality, they surrounded the residence of Mr. Fetherstone, J.P., where they were met by that gentleman and the Rev. Mr. Ryan, P.P. Mr. Fetherstone presented himself before the hungry as semblage, and told them that he as an individual could not take upon himself any responsibility beyond his province. He would feel delighted to act in concert with the gentlemen of the country, and do all in his power to mitigate the wants of the poor. They were aware that the new poor-law provided that all the able-bodied paupers would enter the workhouse of each union, and that the aged, the infirm, and the decrepid would be set at large to be supported by out-door relief under the authority of the new poor law. At this announcement the people became enraged, and after some angry exhibitions seized on Mr. Fe therstone's cattle. These they drove to the premises of the Rev. Mr. Massy, whose stock they lessened by six or seven fat cows and bullocks, and, without offering the least apology to his reverence, took their departure for Garryfine, and along the public road fired some volleys of powder in the air, in order, it is considered, to let the neighbours know that they passed that way. When the cattle were driven into the little hamlet of Rockhill the people were all as tounded at such an unusual exhibition, and every farmer in the neighbourhood viewed it with alarm, each apprehensive lest his own cattle might be taken. i The people were again met by the Rev. Mr. ya n, who admonished them against thei r proceedings, but instead of acting on his counsels they entered his own yard, seized his cattle, and carried them away to the other captive animals. The Rev. Mr. Ryan followed them on horseback for some distance beyond the vil lage, and repeated his exhortation. The people at length yielded to his persuasion. The better feelings of the peasant's heart gave way. With the conviction of the impropriety, of interfering with the rev. gentle man's cattle, the people returned them, as well as those of Mr. Featherstone and the Rev. Mr. Massy. Mr. Ryan thanked them, and told them that he would do all in his power to procure them food. The meeting then peaceably separated. I cannot close this com munication without recording, however briefly, my admiration of the Christian zeal and forbearance of Father Ryan, and 1 would boldly assert that in the entire diocese of Limerick there is not another cler gyman who had done more for the poor during the last winter and summer, during which he has been often known to be absent on parochial duty until eight o'clock at night, without taking a morsel of dinner. GARRYFINE, WEDNESDAY NlGHT.—Another " mon ster meeting" has been held this day by the peasan try, in the village of Ballyagrane. Poor Father O'Flanagan, P.P., was forced to yield up his potatoes to the multitude, and in the course of a few moments he lost eight barrels. He thought vainly to oppose vi el armis the unwelcome intruders, and applied physical force to a second " Poll of the R ee k s, " who first entered with a prodigious bag for b oo t y. A fter thanking Father O'Flanagan for setting the potatoes, they next proceeded to Mr. Drew's residence, Drew's Court, and deprived that gentleman of a quantity of wheat and carrots. His sheep they also took to Ballyagrane ; but on second consideration set them at liberty. This is but the beginning —where will it end ? DISTRESS IN THE COUNTY OF CLARE. The Limerick Examiner says—" Destitution of an appalling kind has again commenced on the western coast of Clare, particularly in Miltown Malbay. We learn from the parish priest of Miltown Malbay, the Rev. Mr. 111‘Mahon, that nearly all the labouring population of his parish—whose existence even in the most plentiful seasons was a very wretched one— are without employment. Eight hundred families have not, at the present moment, any visible means of support, except by second digging the potato fields for the purpose of collecting a scant► meal, at which . 1 two k thiy aA3 okttr4 4 toi 3 / 4 try RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATEg. DUBLIN, OCT. 16 —There are some indications of a dogged resistance to the collection of the rates for the support of the poor, even in some parts of Ulster. " Tommy Downahire," the northern Captain Rock, is beginning to move. It appears from a statement in the Banner of Ulster that " Tommy" has fixed his head. quarters in the electoral division of Tullylish, a portion of the union of Lurgan, extending into the county of Down. In another northern county the same spirit of re ' sistance is exhibited, as will be seen by the following extract from the Monaghan Standard : • " There is at present a wide-spread desire among the peasantry and farmers of this county to avoid, and if necessary to resist, the payment of the rates Vl hich have just been struck in the various unions by the respective boards of guardians—not, however, that the people wish to escape the legitimate burden of the poor of the county, but because they conceive that the major part of the heavy rate struck is des-! tined to repay the relief, such as it was, afforded to this part of the empire during the late national calamity." A truly noble aid generous example has been set in the Castleblayney unicn, in the same county of Monaghan, where Lord Blaney has announced hisde termination to pay the entire of the landlords' portion of the rate, thus relieving his tenants from the onus of paying the whole rate in the first instance. In the Castleblayney union, ako, steps are about to be taken to disabuse the peasantry of the false impres sions about the payment of the relief advances. It appears from the Tipperary Vindicator, that the farmers in some parts of the IN enagh union are still opposing the payment of the poor rate, and that the collectors in the Templederry division have been hunted off, and in some instances "compelled to eat the notices." The guardians very properly deter mined at once to communicate on the subject with the Codamissioners, and take their advice on the most effectual means of compelling those heartless persons to pay the poor man's rate. ALARMING RIOT IN HAMILTON. On Tuesday morning this town was thrown into a state of indescribable alarm. Some hundreds of na vigators turned out and effectually took lawless pos session of it. They filled the streets, brandishing clubs, picks, &c., broke windows, assaulted every Scotch person they could meet with, jumped, yelled, and altogether frightened for their lives the peace able inhabitants of the usual quiet town. All the shops were shut, and the shutters put on. A gentle man, a J.P. who was formerly a magistrate, got a gig and drove up to the barracks, where a portion of the Ist Royals are at present lying, and they imme diately accompanied him. Mr. Sheriff Veitch and the Procurator Fiscal were speedily at the scene. The Riot Act was read by a magistrate. A number of prisoners were apprehended, and marched up to the prison by the military. On the appearance of the soldiers, many fled, but were afterwards secured. Thirty were eventually lodged in prison under the charge of a party of the military. The command ing officer, Major Kerr, was very energetic, and behaved in a most gallant and soldier-like manner during the affray. While the streets were quite wedged up by the unruly multitude, he sometimes by persuasion, and smetimes with his flat naked sword applied smartly to the side of their heads, sent the rioters off. Such an unruly day has never been seen in Hami'ton. The prisoners were examined by the Sheriff in the prison office—ten were discharged and twenty detained. There are several more yet to be taken up. In the course of the day a number of the respectable inhabitants were sworn in as special con stables, and some of them took duty the same night. A party of the military were also stationed in the town, as it was feared that another outbreak would take place. All was quiet, however. The riot may be said to have commenced on the Saturday night preceding, being th e p a y d ay ; the disturbance con tinued to a greater or less degree during Sunday; the navvies still remained in an unsettled state on Monday, and their violence increased on Tuesday till it was necessary to call out the military, as already stated. They have too long got leave to do as they like. If they had been checked with greater vigour by the town authorities before, this would not have occurred. The parties in the row sent notice to all the navigators in the neighbourhood, and these marched into the town armed with shovels, &c., in great numbers, but by this time the soldiers had, as before stated, got 30 lodged in prison.—Glasgow Argus. S F- AHIP EVER IN CANADA.—On the eve of the departure of a mail for England, we desire, once more, to draw the attention of the authorities in Great Britain to the continued practice of shipping to Canada parties in the utmost state of destituticn, and among whom disease must have existed prior to their embarkation. The last case in point is the ship Superior from London derry, now at Grosse Isle. This vessel left with 366 passengers. ller deaths on the passage amount to twenty, and 120 sick (of typhus fever and dysentery) have been landed at the quarantine station. Of the number (not positively ill) sent to the sheds for the reception of the healthy, the inspecting medical officer is of opinion that not more than twelve can be said to be free from disease. The whole of these poor creatures are said to exceed in squalor, wretchedness, fifth, and misery any that have arrived from the old country during this season of misery and death. One fact will suffice to illus:rate the wretched condition of these poor creatures, and to convey a fearful idea of the miserable position in which they are about to find themselves. It is given in a few words:— So destitute were they, that the captain had to cut up the canvas bread bags for clothing tor some of them I Is not this truly appalling ? What hearts must those possess who could deliberately expose their fellow creatures to misery such as we now detail ? Man cries shame upon his fellow-men for such cool, calculating, and mercenary atrocity. A secon d vessel, fre i ghted with Higkland . era, equally as m i sera bl e an d fil t h y i n condition as hitherto reported, is also at Grosse Isle at this moment—the Eliza Jones, from Glasgow, with 369 passengers. She has landed 30 sick at the station, and lost 30 during the voyage. What, we ask, will be the fate of those poor souls arriving here at a time when employment of every description is about at an end ? fur winter seals up almost every channel of industry, and winter is fast drawing nigh. Whence can they hope for a subsistence ? Begging alone is open to them. —Qu, bee Mercury. DIABOLICAL ACT.—One night last week, some mischievously- disposed person committed several de predations in the neighbourhood of the Bridge of Don ; and, among others, the bridge being under repair, and scaffolding being for this purpose suspended by ropes over the parapet in the usual manner, they actually cut the ropes, leaving only a few threads ; so that if the workmen had not in the morning discovered the deed, they must, on taking their places on the scaffolding, have been precipitated into the river and lost their lives, or at least rendered their escape almost miraculous. The perpetrators have not yet been discovered. EASTERN HARMONIC SOCIETY.—Last night the Eastern Harmonic Society performed a selection of sacred music in the Eastern Institution, Commercial road. The band and chorus were stated to consist of about two hundred performers (Mr. Arthur conductor) ; assisted by Miss Ellen Lyon and Miss Felton ; Mr. Loekey and Mr. Farquharson Smith. Mr. Harper also added to the attraction, and played a trumpet obligato, in the second part. The first part commenced with the National Anthem, after which the band played Haydn's Symphony, No. 3, in a very creditable and effective manner. " Haydn's Service, No. 2," followed, and the second part consisted of " Handel's Dettingen Te D om e," with additional accompaniments, by Mr. Perry. The choruses were very well drilled, and the perform ance was altogether exceedingly gratifying to the mem bers and friends of the Society. EDUCATION OF THE ARCHITECT.—OPENING or THE ARCHITECTURAL A SSOCIATION.—On Friday even ing in last week the Architectural Association opened the session, in Ly'on's-inn Hall, Strand, under pro mising circumstances. More than one hundred gentle men were present, and the walls and tables displayed an interesting collection of architectural drawings, and other works of art. Mr. Robert Kerr , the president, took the chair, and Mr. Jayne, the Hon. Secretary, read the report of the committee , setting torth the po sition of the association. Twenty-one gentlemen were proposed as members, and letters were read from Pro fessors Cockerell and Hocking, Messrs. Angell, Bell amy, and others, regretting their inability to atte n d t h e meeting, but expressing their cordial a pp ro b ation of the objects of the association. The President then delivered an able address ; after whi c h P ro f essor Do naldson and Mr. Godwin being called on, a d dressed the meeting; a nd thanks having been voted to the visitors and contributors, and to the President for his able address, the . meeting wa s a dj ourned to the 22d, when a paper will be read by Mr. J.
