In the shires of Suther land, Ross, Inverness, and Argyle, throughout the entire Hebrides, and in the insular group of Zetland there is a frightful want of provisions, a general cessation of employment, and a complete deprivation of the most 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, of their superfluous apparel, of their more moveable articles of furniture, to buy meal for themselves and their children. 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 !'' 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 abo 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 the hands of Messrs. ROWTON, VINCENT, STEVENS, &c., who have chiefly figured at the meetings alluded to, the question has certainly not prospered—on the contrary, it has 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 the present 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 from 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 the apprehension of forfeiting their lives upon the gallows, would not run about bruiting to their r e the vio u f s a l c t a n n e i d g thhbaotur cowardice the devilish alone n e hadpurpose thwa r t t e h d e y had its gratification fostered. and ost ered . thaTtoomamnyuchwhstoreshsavaeppheeaerns up onthoanbgeedlaihdadpy l f b e e a e r n ful presently debased, iin; a ll executions. This probability, their when they first looked upon the apparatus of death, and by no means militates against what only shows minds inds were ' how is also very probable, viz., that many have quitted the scene of an execution im. pressed with the awfulness of the spec tacle, and with the resolution never to subject ,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 ,he days of another, his life shall pay the penalty of his fearful transgression. The best 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 upon 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 Ireland 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 sums that may be so collected, and which appeared in our advertising columns of Thursday, will 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 she 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-spread 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 political 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 HAYDON, 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 dis 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 for 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; whatever the country, the creed, or the colour of the unfortu nate, 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 has placed a comparatively small island among the leading 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 that now unfortunately exists for extensive aid! What day has elapsed without a considerable portion of our columns being filled with the heartrending details of misery such as has rarely been equalled, never 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 creatures were cut off from the combined effects of pestilence and famine, while in the corresponding months of 1845 only seven fell victims—an increase more than thirty - fold—sufficiently attests the fearful nature of the visitation on our Irish brethren. Thousands upon thousands are exposed to eq ua l wan t s . Th e hardy highlander is in similar difficulty. 400,000 of the children and brethren of those who never deserted their country in the hour of danger, who aided to fight our battles, to roll back the tide of war from our shores, have been deprived of their principal, if not their sole means of subsistence, by the destruction of the potato, their chief article of food. The fund to be collected will be most properly applied to their exigencies as well PS to those of the Irish poor, it will be expended in the distribution of food, cloth ing, and of fuel ; by an excellent regulation, no money aid is to be given i n any case. The objects of the charity, the recipients of the bounty, will be chiefly selected from the sick and the infirm, the widows and the orphans, for such, alas ! are to be found amongst the sufferers who have no earthly protectors, who are unable to avail themselves of the means afforded by the Government measures, but none will be exempt from relief—the ext en t o f t h e i r necess i ties will constitute their title to assistance wherever it is practicable. Some equivalent, in the shape of labour will be required, from those able to give it, to be ap plied to some useful purpose; so that none but the incapable will be suffered to eat the bread of idleness, and every possible precaution will be taken against the abuse of the public beneficence. Any perkons feeling peculiar interest in any of the suffering dis tricts may indicate the localities to which their con tributions should especially be applied, which will be strictly observed by the committee. A large and powerful steamer will be immediately dispatched to Ireland, with supplies of food, clothing, &c., and any kind of contributions, clothing, flannel, blankets, &c., will be thankfully accepted, and faithfully applied. Under the direction and superintendence of the com- ared, many an ac hi ng mittee m any a lif e will be sp heart will be made glad, and throb with gratitude to its benefactors, for the aid so readily afforded and received. Ireland will be conquered by a weapon more potent and efficacious than the bayonet, and bound to us by stronger ties than have ever hitherto existed —the bonds of affectionate regard and grateful love. A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult., published in the Rhenish Observer of the sth inst., contains the g • following . "Much excitement has been created in the diplomatic salons by a'protest against the incorporation of Cracow, which Baron de Hochschild, the Swedish Ambassador, has presented to the Austrian Government on the part of King Oscar, in his quality of a guaranteeing party to the treaty of Vienna. It is said that the style of this note is most dignified, and that the King of Sweden, although convinced of the necessity of the measure against which he protests, expresses a hope that it will be the last measure of a •similar nature to which the three Powers will have recourse." Madrid papers of the Ist have arrived. The report of the escape of OLOZAGA. is not con firmed, and it is said he ►ill be tried on a capital charge. Senor CORTINA has set out from France for Madrid, to take his seat as Member for Seville. Don Fenuicio DE POTESDAD has been appointed Spanish Consul at Bayonne, in the TOM of Senor BUSTAMENTE, dis missed for countersigning OLOZAGA'S passports. A reinforcement of 5,000 troops has been sent to the Basque Provinces. The Bolsa was closed on the lst. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The following programme of the business to be trtmeacted by the chamber of Deputies at the open ing of the session, is published in the Journal des Debats " The Chamber of Deputies will hold its preparatory sitting on Sunday next, in the Salle des Conferences. The Bureau was constituted in August last, M. Sauzet being President; Messrs. Bignon, Lepelletier d'Aulnay, Hebert, and Delessert, Vice-presidents; and Messrs. Saglio, de Buss'ares, Ogar, and Languinais, Secretaries. The grand deputation of 20 Members to meet the King will then be chosen by lot. On Tuesday, the day after the royal sitting, the Chamber will hold a public sitting to appoint its Bureaux, and will afterwards proceed to the examination of the elections not yet verified. On Wednesday the Committee on the Address will be appointed. All the Bills and propositions of the last Legislature being nul lified, the Chamber will devote its first sitting to the verification of the returns of ten Deputies not yet ad mitted. Six of them have been named since the proro gation of the session, viz.—General de Lamoriciere, Marquis de Rourd, and Messrs. Hennecart, Bethmont, Guerrin, and Portalis, jun. The two last have replaced Messrs. Genoux and Portalis, sen., deceased since the last elections. The election of M. Portalis, jun., will be necessarily annulled, as, when elected, he had not at tained the required age, though he has since reached it. Three Deputies, Messrs. Conyers, Drault, and Hallez Claparede, whose election the Chamber had annulled, have been since re-elected. The tenth, M. Teste, was sub ject to re-election, on being promoted to public functions. The Chamber will also have to pronounce on the election of M. Drouillard, whose admission has been adjourned. Three electoral colleges will be shortly convoked in con sequence of the double returns of MM. Salvandy, Berger, and Count Thiard, who will have to make their option known in one of their first sittings. It is said that M. Salvandy decides for Evreux. Count de la Ferronays, a Conservative, comes forward at Lectoure to replace him. M. Berger decides for Paris, and Count de Thiard for Chalons ; Viscount de Cormenin presents himself at Lannion to replace him. The Ministry intends present ing to the Chamber at an early sitting the Budget for 1848, and the Bills for regulating the credits of 1844 and 1845. The Committee on 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 com mence on the 25th, supposing that the Chamber of Peers had already, at that period, voted its Address. The Committee on the Address in the Chamber of Peers will be appointed on the day after the ro3 al sitting." The Constitutionnel replies to an article in the Debats of the day before, and denies the truth of the rumour alluded to in the Ministerial journal, to the effect that th( re was a schism in the Opposition ranks, and that MM. DUFAURB 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 BILLA.ULT 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 Mondes which may be considered as M. GulzoT'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 bad merely opposed a Coburg candidate for the hand of Queen Isabella, wo should have applauded him without reserve. To marry the Queen to Bourbon was well. To prevent a new scion of the Coburg from spoiling a younger branch was to be permitted. But this conquest could have been accomplished by the union of Isabella with Don Francisco. The blood of PhilipV., would have been satisfied. The crown of Spain would have re mained on the head of his descendants. The Coburg would have been set aside, and England would have met with a check. What necessity, therefore, was there for concluding the second marriage so precipitately?" After going through the history of the various pre tenders to the hand of the QUEEN, TRAPPANI, MON- , TEMOLIN, Don ENRIQUE, and Don FRANCISCO, tO all of whom it was offered on one condition, viz., that the Duke DE MONTPENSLER should marry the Infanta, the National thus concludes : " Why then this condition, if your only object was to preserve the bloodiof 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 likewise—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 ot France, that you risked the displeasure of England. It was not through love of adventure that 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.' You 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 lf. 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. One of them contained 2,000 sacks of wheat, and sunk under the enormous weight of that cargo. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 79f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents., 118 f. 20c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,237 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 906 f. 25c. , Havre, 680 f. ; Great Northern, 635 f. ; Avignon, 855 f. ; Vierzon, 600 f. ; Bordeaux, 562 f. 50c.; Boulogne, 442 f. 50c. • Basle, 218 f. 75c. ; Diepp e , 355 f. ; P ar i s and Strasburg, 483 f: 75c. ; Paris and Lyons, 507 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 485 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 452 f. 50c. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 34; Ditto Domestic Debt, 30%, BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JANUARY 8.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—So much has been said respecting a new Italian opera that any informa tion relating to the arrangements for the season at her Majesty's Theatre cannot fail to be interesting. From authentic sources we have learnt that Mr. Lumley, in providing for the ensuing 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 Superchi (Verdi's favourite hero), Colletti, and Staudigl, The orchestra is composed of artistes of tried abilities, at the head of whom are Tol becque and Nadaud, and a chorus of extraordinary power has been selected with great care. The ballet will be under the direction of Paul raglioni and Perrot. The pas de quatre, and the pas de deesses, will b e rev i ved, with the aid of Taglioni, Lucille Grahn, Cerito, Car lotta Grisi, and Rosati, a young Italian dancer of distin guished ability. We believe we might add, that the vocal department will be enriched by other talent of no ordinary power. ILLNESS OF MISS PAIJCIT.--We regret to say that the sudden illness of Miss Faucit disappointed a large audience last evening. The h ouse was full, including the boxes, when it was announced that Miss Faucit, who was to play Mrs. Hall er , was too ill to appear.' Of course, the audience immediately rose, and departed. We understand that Miss F auc i t wou ld 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 be fat a l ; an d, w i t h t h e j u di c i ous im perativeness of the faculty, he would not allow her to quit her chamber.—Cork Examiner. The Adelphi Theatre is about to be rebuilt on a larger scale; adjoining properties have been purchased for that purpose.—The Builder. The will of the late Right Hon. Lord George 'Wil liam Russell, G.C.8., was executed in March, 1844, whereby he has directed that a sum of 10,000/., vested in him and his Lordship's brother, Lord John Russell, should be given one moiety to his son Arthur John Ed ward, and the other moiety to his son William Odo Leopold, and that his house in Grosvenor-place, and the furniture, plate, books, &c., to be enjoyed by his relict, and then to his three sons, to whom he leaves the residue. The personalty was estimated for duty at 7,0001. A NEW ENTRANCE TO ST. J AME S S PARR.—For the accommodation of the public a very handsome portico and flight of stone steps are now being con structed at the north end of the private gardens of Buckingham Palace, as an entra n ce for fo ot passenger s from Grosvenor-place on to Constitution - hill. ADVANCE INITHE PRICE OE SFlRlTS.—Yeste r d ay morning nearly all the licensed v ictuallers, according to previous agreement, advanced the price of " corn spirits" 20 per cent. for all over-proof, and 10 per cent. for under proof, spirits. • ,p.

Summonses were issued this day from the Foreign office to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council, on Wednesday next, at the Foreign-office, Downing street. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is expected to return to town on Wednesday next. 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 from the sufferers in the Northern provinces of the United Kingdoms, but there has not been less wretchedness 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 moral 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 want 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 different 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 language, that very nearly one-sixth of the entire population 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 mem bers 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 i s no ava il a bl e means of restoration to abundance. When th e crops of potatoes i n 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 coin 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, th e y are unable even to remove singly by reason of their necessitous con dition. Th e resu l t i s, they are entirely dependent * upon their respective landlords and employers, upon the nation at large upon the Legislature, upon the law. They arazt incapabl e o f emerg i ng o f t h emse l ves from the qu "Agmire of destitution, they want stronger hands to lift them out, they want a ser te ies capac i inlligclice to prevent the r epetition of more similar mi ous , they want a stauncher sympathy than has been hitherto evinced towards them in the regulations and enactments re ,gating to agriculture and its labourers. On gland ,n g through the Statement recently pub lished by t' ne acting committee of the Free Church we are ir.resistibly persuaded of the soundness of the foregoir jg opinions. Whe t} suc h f ear f ul woes are AMERICAN NEWS EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The packet-ship Mar mion, Captain Edwards, has arrived here from New York, with papers from that city to the 19th ult., from which we take the following in reference to the war in Mexico : (From the New Orleans Picayune ' Dec. 9.) The United States revenue scho o ner Forward, 11. B. Nones, Eq., commander, arrived yesterday from Ta basco, via Alvarado and Tampico. The Forward left the latter port on Friday, the 4th instant, and anchored at the S.W. pass on the evening of the 7th, making the run in 72 hours from Tampico. Lieut. W. B. M‘Lean, of the Forward, arrived in the city this morning in a tow-boat, with dispatches from Coin. Conner to our Government. The Forward left at Tampico four gunboats captured at Tabasco, the steam schooner Spitfire, the Nonata and schooner Mahone, Commander Conner's flag being hoisted on the latter. For interesting naval intelligence by this arrival, we refer to the annexed report, for which we are indebted to Captain Nones. The country will hail with pleasure the signs of activity now exhibited by the squadron : The Forward left Tabasco river on the 21st November —all quiet. Lett at that place U. S. revenue steamer, M'Lane, Captain Howard, for the purpose of blockading said port ; officers and crew well. Left Anton Lizardo on the 27th November. On the 25th ult. experienced a violent norther, which has done considerable damage ; the wind blew violently for 20 hours, and drove from their moorings the following ves sels :—Prizes taken at Tabasco —steamer Tabascano, schooner Tabasquena and brig Descrada. The schooner was seen on shore about 15 miles to the westward of Alvarado; supposed three men who were on board of her were saved. The brig and steamer had not been seen; on board the brig there were six men—no officers. Brig Somers and schooner Morris, late Laura Virginia, frigate Cumberland and prize steamer Petrita, rode out the gale with the Forward, and all are safe; officers and crews well. Left at Anton Lizardo barque Morgan Dix, Csptain llamilton, nearly discharged; brig Oneco, Captain Lovett, and brig Chinchilla, Captain Patterson, arrived two days before the Forward sailed, they also having rode out the gale in safety. On the night of the 26th of November, about midnight, the United States brig Somers, then laying at Green Island, four or five miles distant from Vera Cruz, sent a boat with Lieutenant Parker, Passed Midshipmen Robert Clay Rodgers. and J. R. Hynson, with five men, and burned the Mexican brig Creole, moored to the Castle of San Juan. The following is a list of officers of the U. S. brig Somers:— Raphael Semmes, Lieutenant Commanding; M. G. L. Claiburn, Ist Lieutenant; James L. Parker, 2d do.; John H. Wright, Passed Assistant-Surgeon; John F. Steele, Purser; Henry A. Clemson, Acting Master; Robert Clay Rodgers, John ,R. Hynson, Passed Mid shipmen; Francis G. Clarke, Midshipmen. 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. On the morning of the 2d December, Com. Perry sailed from Tampico on an expedition not known, with the following vessels of war :—Steamer Mississippi, 'I steamer Vixen, sloop John Adams, and schooners Bonita and Petrel. Com. Conner, with the remainder of his force, will, in all probability, remain in Tampico until a sufficient number of troops arrive to warrant his leaving. The health of the Commodore, officers, and crew, good. Off the bar of Tampico, arrived on the 3d inst., the steam-ship Massachusetts—discharging. Arrived at Tampico, schooner Home, from Brazos ; schooner Velasco, from New Orleans. The U. S. frigate Poto mac, Captain Aulick, and steam-frigate Princeton. Cap tain Eagle, are also off the bar—all well. Left the following vessels at Tampico ; U. S. steamer Spitfire, Captain Tatnal ; schooners Reefer, Lieu tenant-Commanding Sterret ; Nonata, Li eu t. Roan ; Elizabeth, Lieut. Roots ; Unicorn, Lieut. Winslow ; Virginia, M. C. Perry, Junr. Commander Connor has hoisted his pennant on board the schooner Mahone. The steamers Undine and Mary Summers have arrived with troops, and expect to leave soon for more. The troops as well as the marines are in a perfect state of disci pline, and are preparing to hold out against a sur prise. All seems quiet. The officers of the army are enjoying good health, as are also the troops; and the citizens begin to feel themselves secure since their ar rival. VESSELS SPOKEN.—U. S. frigate Raritan, Captain Gregory, near Vera Cruz, on the 27th November, from Tampico, to relieve the frigate Cumberland, which re turns to the United States. December 4th, boarded schooner Henry M. Johnson, fourteen days from New Orleans, bound to Tampico ; she was within thirty miles of said port. On the sth, boarded brig Em presario, latitude 24 deg. 20 min. l ong it u d e 95 d eg. 50 min. W., three days from New Orleans, for Tampico. The Forward has been absent four months in the Gulf. The following is a list of officers :—H. B. Nones, Captain ; John M'Gowan, Ist Lieut. ; Wm. B. M'Lean, 2d Lieut. ; Wm. F. Rodgers, 3d Lieut. ; Joseph Davis, Acting Master ; Charles Wilson, Boatswain ; David Ross, Gunner ; Wm. 11. Harley, arpenter. NEW YORK MARKETS, DEC. 17.

ESCAPE IN A SEWER.—On Wednesday afternoon, a narrow escape of being buried alive, occurred in Bride lane, Fleet -street. A new sewer has for some time past been in the course of formation there, but on turning the northern corner, it would appear that the excavators experienced much difficulty in their progress by the well belonging to the pump. They were, in consequence obliged to swerve round the well, to the westward, un• dermining thereby some portion of the burial ground of the church. In this work one of the borers, named Valiant, had gained considerable progress when suddenly a rushing noise of water was perceptible, and in an in stant the poor fellow was lost sight of and buried in the gravel, earth, and water, in which he had become en veloped. Fortunately, however, a brother workman, with his nails and fingers only, succeeded in removing a sufficiency of mud, &c., to give his comrade breathing room, and other assistance having arrived, the buried man was speedily exhumed. lie was in a state of insen sibility, and was conveyed into the Twelve Bells public house, and in a short time he was enabled to walk home, without having sustained any other injury than that of temporary unconsciousness.
