Seeing that the projector of the Connaught bubble was mute and silent, William Brown took courage, and boldly as truly told the house that there was plenty of land in Ireland for sale at pre sent, but no purchasers. But William Brown, being a corn-law repealer, only stated as much as served his pur pose, and did not give the reason why there were no pur chasers. There are no purchasers, because the iniquitous Corn Bill of this same pseudo-Connaught planter, Peel, has ruined, has u tt er l y d es t roye d , the agriculture of Ire land. What man of capital will risk it in Irish lands, if the produce be not remunerative of his outlay, his skill, and his experience ? Unless the tenants cultivating es " tates obtain the land on terms ruinous to the whole race a I of proprietors, it is impossible for such tenants to make a e living, even on a pot a t o di e t.

If Irish agriculture were protected to the most moderate degree, Trish agricultural operations would .d proceed as usual, and Irish estates find a ready sale.

This sort of agility was generally rewarded by a shower of coppers, a considerable quantity of which he managed to pick up. At length, so habituated did he become to this mode of progression, that he resolved to accomplish a feat which had never hitherto been, or would henceforth be attempted. This was to run by the side of the mail from London to Birmingham. lie actually performed this exploit; his mode of locomotion being that of an alter nate rinmhar efe.vsn -- One of the most remarkable features in the importations at the present time is the arrival of window glass, parti cularly from Belgium.

It is said that he ran a still more incredible race, namely, from London to Liverpool, alongside the coach. But these times did not continue. Weakened by a somewhat reckless mode of life, the bitheness of youth left him, and with it his occu pation went too. His rooted dislike to labour, however, remained unimpaired; so he resolved to turn conjuror, and endeavoured to pick up a precarious living by exhi biting his tricks —which principally consisted of walking barefoot over red-hot iron, applying a heated poker to his tongue, &c.—in public-house tap-rooms. Even this means at length failed him, and during the last few weeks he has subsisted by begging. On Tuesday week, how ever, a woman residing in London Prentice-strFt.t, Bir mingham, found poor Jack, clothed in rags, sitting on her door-steps in an insensible state. He was conveyed with all speed to the workhouse, but no efforts could save him, and he died almost in a moment after.
