_:~- `"_ carried into effect:—Let a man, desirous to go to our North American Colonies, obtain a certificate from his landlord, clergyman, and nearest local magistrate, stating his desire to emigrate, with a wile and so many chil e- dren, and that he has only part, or no part, of the 'money requisite for that purpose, the Government agent at the nearest port of embarkation should, on such a voucher being handed to him, be empowered to provide them wi h a passage, enclosing it again with a state ' ment of the expense incurred, to the secretary of the g.rand jury, to be by that body assessed on t he county at large, or, as I should much prefer, to the chairman of the electori'tl division to which the emigrant belongs, to be recovered by an additional rate, because it is better for the rate-payer thus to get rid of a whole family of paupers by at once paying a certain sam, than for them for ever to be a burthen on the union, while the evil of small holdings is pointed out in a most intelligible manner—throueh their pockets—to the rate-heyers and public, doing more to uudermine and make unpopular the system, than all the speeches, writings and enact ments of the last half-century ; the landlord, of course, in the first instance, having bound himself in bis certifi cate that the holding will not again be let to a separate tenant, .eit. will be add: el to the farm of the nearest and most improvine tenant. late Chaacellf,r or the Ex chequer does not thibk tiert. any Government ought to be intrusted with powor to gtaw for en iedetinite a mount on the Conselideted Fund, but that the ldieister t.hould came t House of Ceneeen., repria time to tang lot the sum, hotvev'r large, he may sr: quire. There is a ce:d propriety in this which will erailt aoxte little Topuliirity in the day-book and 1e,1g , 14 pertiee of a conmionirc ; in it we can all pere.e ye a holding back, a paritlYSilig of the hand of succour t. 9 ire held out Ire.land..lnd a clogging of the maci:ieery for her relief. No Minister will come down to the Huus, of Commons, day after day, or year aft,r year, with demands upon his liberality, knowing the long and vexetiott,; debates, and, _perhaps, divisions, to which he aili be subject, and with which moray bills are indeed so sure to be assailed in that Hone, and especially in certain quarters of it. The time I may hope is past when Ireland can be legislated for in such a spirit, which seemingly confers what it in reality withholds, better far to fix at once a large and liberal sum as the maximum to which the Minister may proceed, when all that the most pinching economist can require is a full statement, from time to time, to be lei t before the [louse of the monies expended to benefit the country ; I would reiterate the necessity of a revision of the Grand Jury Laws, especially as regares the great power of assess . meat, and of those relatieg to salmon fisheries, as I can not help thinking that almost all recent enactments in regard thereto have much tended to oppress and embar rass the proprietors, while no one else is in any intelli gible degree; benefited, unless, indeed, such people as would grasp and poach a property they well know they have no other right to than what is conferred by an unfair and unwise law. If some early enactments do not throw these people further from the entrance of salmon streams, this description of property will, in a few years snore, be little worth legislating for. Lastly, Sir, I would draw the attention of Irish Members to a force which this country has to support—the revenue police— the existence of which I cannot help thinking an indig nity to Ireland, which, happily, she does not at this moment afford a satisfactory pretext for having in flicted on her. Reduce the duty 2s. a gallon on whiskey, and then to assert, as some gravely will, that such a force is more required here than in England or Scotland, is in my mind exceeding a formal imbecility? Thanks to Father Matthew, and the great aid given to that good man by the clergy and gentry of all creeds and classes, it is indeed not so ; but it affords large patronage, and will consequently find many friends and arguments to uphold it ; but I shall still hope that the day is not far distant when justice and sound policy will assail the existence of a most ex pensive.and unnecessary force ; fur be it from me to say one word which can pain or disparage a body of men which in zeal, efficiency, an l good conduct are hardly to be surpassed by any in the service of her Majesty. I should simply tejoice to see them absorbed by the Irish constabulary or the army, where I am certain their services would be of some greater value to the state, and somewhat less irksome to themselves. It is a fallacy to assert that. the greater portion of spirits ma nufactured in this ceuetry is consumed by the lower orders ; it is not so. and its consionteaen, therefore, is not attended with a ,leirtoralizing a ti, et. Conscvently there will be no materislly ineremed demand, and no ill effect to be apprehended in doing away with the re venu,' pelice, if the du.y on whi!le ) is wisch - r-duced.

A LT EMT EG, FEB. 6.—A few days ago a courier from St. Pet,rAurg arrived here, bringing the portrait of the Grand Duke Constantine as a present to the Princess Alexan dria. At the same time, the portrait of the Princess was sent to St. Petersburg. and to-day- the Baron Von Schroe ler, the Russian Ambassador at Dresden, came to this court to arrange the affairs of the marriage. An ambassador is ex pected in the spring from St. Petersburg direct, to ask in fe-m the hand of the Princess Alexaadria for the Grand Duke Constantine. CHILD-DROZPING AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—A newly-born infmt, apparently deal, was found on Thursday evening, about 8 o'clock in one of the recesses in the shop of Mr.Clunes, pawnbroker, Brydges-street. Mr. Snitch, the sur geon, was immediately sent for, who caused the infant to be removed to the station-house, in Bow-street, where, on exa mination, a ligature of list was disc . /erred tiNI tightly round ills infant's neck. Mr. S•Atch having caused the ligature to be renaived, ad.,pted the usual measures for resuscitation (immersion in hut walcr,triction, stimulating the lung►, &c.) and in about ttnee-quarters of an hour he succeeded in com pletely restoring the child to life. No clue to the discovery of the depi•sitor of thr, infant in such a situati.m has as yet been obtained.

Dr. Spry had taken the chair, Mr. Hodg kinson, a guardian, entered the vestry-room and begged a temporary suspension of the business to enable him to communicate to the board some important information respecting the state of the poor of the parish. He said that there were 800 men in the workhouse yard at that moment, imploring for bread, :lithout obtaining any re lief, or the prospect of it, as there was no work for them. Unless immediate steps were taken to give them food he could not answer for the result. Mr. LAURIE (city pleader), said that although Mr. Flodgkinson's statement was the suggestion of a kind heart,, it betrayed but little policy. The fact was that so pressing and so numerous were the claims upon them that they were compelled to resort to the labour test. During the last fortnight, theishish paupers seeking out door relief were 70 per cent. as compared with the English. Such should not he the case; but Irish pros perity should be compelled to relieve Irish poverty. Sir PETER LAURIE never signed a vtition with greater pleasure than he did the one calling upon the Legislature to force the Irish landlords to support their own pot r. Mr. GLAZIER flounced the conduct of the guardians in allowing 800 men to starve, as being eutrageous and scandalous in the extreme. Mr. ItawLussoN (magistrAe)—lf there are SOO of our fvl!ow-creatures starving, why not ad j ourn this; meeting instanter, an LA the guarclians assemble anfi devise measures to relit tine them.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. M. CIIEL—Of the 22,000 lately relieved in the workhouse, a in,jority were imiß;stors. Mr. G. DANIEL—It was lately resolved to abolish the latv - , , ur test, an , f to afford assistance to every applicant deserving of relieF. It that resolu, ion were acted upon, such a frightful statement as had been just made would not have come before them. Every poor person ought to obtain instant relief.—(Hear, hear.) The guardians having prouliseal to inquire into the statement, and Mr. Skase, the surveyor, having gua ranteed to provic:e all the able-bodied with work, the subject was dropped. IRISH WASTE LAND IMPROVE- MEN r SOCIETY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this society was held oh Saturday, at the King's Head Tavern, PoUltry; the Earl of Devon in the chair. After a considerable delay, The CHAIRMAN said that it appeared there was not a suf ficient number of shareholders present to constitute a legal meeting ter any efficient purposes. He was not aware that there there was any very pressing matter for the society. There would be no call on the shareholders for money, nor would any resolution be passed, It was, however, the opi nion of the directors present that as there were so many of the shareholders there who might wish to hear the report of their engineer, Colonel Robinson, it would be as well to read it, though they could adopt no steps in reference to it —( hear, 1 ear.) The SEcaemsey then read the report, which after alluding to the distress that existed in Ireland, but which prevailed less generally on the estates of the society than elsewhere, and the refusal of the Government to afford them any assist. ance, proceeded to state that the expectations held forth last year of the tenants generally having sufficient crops, had been realised, and hopes were also enti rtained from the efforts of the society, that a system of rotation crops might be introduced. In some cases they had, however, failed to induce their tenants to abandon the sole planting of the potato. Those who had been the longest on the estates of the society , had ' showed every disposition to adopt the suggestions that were thrown out to them for the improvement of their land, and every means had been used, by giving seeds gratuitously, promises of reward for improvements, and other means to stimulate the apa,hetic, and .to encourage the industrious. The society, notwithstanding ell their eialeaveurs, had found a vast amount of destitution on their estates. In some cases one-fifth of the crops had been lust, and an apathy, in duced by their sufferings, existed among the tenants in several instances, against which all the efforts of the sociey were ineffectual. The society had, notwithstanding, given employment to a great num ber, and they had every reason to expect that a much larger portion of land would be shortly reclaimed. 4 In consequence of the losses that had been sustainei, those tenants who were under progressive rents had not been sub jected to any increase in their rents during the past year. Several applications had been received from persons desirous of taking land on the estates of the society, but such were refused, unless it could be shown that there was sufficient capital• to meet the contingencies that were to be naturally loeked forward to during the coining six months. Treaties by i been entered into for the purchase of five thou sand acres of land. On the estate of the society at Bel linakill was a loss of seventy-five per cent., and some of the tenants would not work on the land. No exertions had been spared to overcome this feeling. Rob beries had also became frequent in this district, as well as in every part ot Galway. Wages had been paid in Indian meal, at the request of ' tenants th, inselves. In some cases there was a loss of 90 per cent. in this district. Since October, h,wever, 7,500 perches of land had been drained. In Kil ker le it was found that the crops of twenty tenants had failed. and the losses in some cases varied from 80 to 90 per cent., but the average was only 30 per cent. What was scientifically cal:e4 nullipora had been successfully used with ina•iure in tide district. A communication had been effected between the counties of Mayo and Gaiwa) ; a grant had been obtained for schools, and every effort had been made to meet the distress that existed in Connemara and Mayo. The CitAtestesi said—lie thought the meeting must agree with him as to the propriety of having the report submitted to them. It could not in the present state of Ireland be ex pected that there would be a return fur money invested in a speculation ot this kind, but it was evident that they had every reasonable prospect of success. He thought that from the dis i xisition of the Government to forward everything beneficial to Ireland ; therefore, notwithstanding their turner failure, another application would be successful. To promote this oW ect the directors would use every endeavour.—(clear.) An 110 S. PROPRIETOR suggested, that if application were made to Government for lamer to enable them to become purchasers instead of lessees, it would be desirable. The CIIMIMAN said lie aeproved of the suggestion, and he had no doubt application to Government for such a per ; pose would be successful. It bad been entertained by the directors, but there was an unacceunteble jealousy in Ireland of those who met in the Poultry, by some who gave them. selves the title of •‘ Ifeetitis of Ireland," that they did carry out their views. There was, however, a diffeleut feeling at present, from which he augured the best results. The meeting then separa:ef. EXTRAORDINARY AND PERIL OUS ADVENTURE IN A SNOW STORM. We were recently put in possession of the details of one of the most singular and perilous adventures during a snow storm, which we recollect to have heard. The parties concerned are highly respectable and well known gentlemen in this neights.nrhood,— James Side bottom, Esq. of Waterside, near Glossop, and Mr. Ed ward Wrigley. colliery surveyor and civil engineer, of Cross-street, Manchester ; and though these gentle men were naturally averse to making themselves the subjects of a notoriety, such as a newspaper report may be calculated to give them, yet Mr. Wrigley was induced, from a representation that the notice might operate as a caution to other parties, at this inclement season of the year, not hastily to place themselves in a similar position to the very dan gerous one from which they have escaped, to give us the particulars of a story, an outline of which had reached our reporter through another channel. It may be remarked that the scene of this adventure is on the same biesk and lofty range of hills, forming the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorksaire, and only five or six miles from the spot. on which a soldier of the 69th regiment perished a fiw weeks ago, under circumstances i not unlike those we are about t i relate. Mr. Wrigley, on this occasion, was • -a a professional j eirney, one of th objects of that jeurney being to search tor :he inlet of the broek known by the netne of the Great ' Crowden Breole into tha river Etherow. He was ! accompanied by Mr. Sidebottom, and they reached Woedhead Stecio», the nearest point to their destination they could attain by a travelling convey ance, by about nine o'clock on Monday morning, by the train of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, which leaves Manchester at a quarter before eight. From thence they walked down the turnpike road towards Huddersfield, as far as the summit of Holme Moss, and turned westward on to the moors, en deavouring to follow the boundary between the coun ties of Derby and York ; but whilst they were thus en gage 1, a snow storm came on, and they were completely bewildered. They took a direction which they con ceived would lead them into the valley down which the Great Crowden flows ; but after a cold and fatiguing walk, they came to the turnpike road from Greenfield to Holmfirth, a distance of several miles from the place at which they aimed. The snow was coming down et this time very fast ; there are neither paths nor vegetation in the desolate coun try they bad traversed, and the snow prevented them from obtaining a sight of any. landmarks by which to direct their course. They had a copy of the ordnance map, however, with them, and after some .considera tion as to the course they should take, they again left the turnpike road to cross the moors. This was about one o'clock on Monday, and they had reason to believe that their best guide to the point of which they Herein search was to walk in the teeth of the snow. To their astonish ment and disappointment, however, after traversing a rough and precipitous country for nearly three hours, they came, at nearly four o'clock, upon the turnpike road to Greenfield, at link more than a mile from the point at which they had first left. Mr. Wrigley now suggested that they should desist from the further prosecution of their search till more favourable weather, and that they should pursue the road to Greenfield, and from thence get home bv way of Stalybridge, which place.they could have reached in time for a railway train. Mr. Sidebottom, how ever, had confidence in his knowledge of the country, and the snow having abated for a time, thought they should still be able to retch the p int at which they had aimed. They consequently rest red again upon the moors, and had been engaged for nearly three hours in the object of their excursion ' when they came upon a brook, which they were led to hope was the Crowden. With great difficulty they reached the bed of the brook, down a precipitous arid dangerous ledge of rocks, with the in tention of following the course of the stream. But darkness had overtaken them nearly two hours before this, and they at length found it impossible, under such circumstances, to surmount the obstacles pre sented by the immense rocks in the course of the stream. In crossing one of these rocks, Mr. Wrigley met with a serious accident. A portion of it was covered with ice, but both the snow and the darkness tended to con ceal it, and the consequence was, that he was precipi tated with almost stunningviolerce into the water which in this place must have been four or five feet deep. In deed, it would be difficult for any one not placed in similar circumstances to conceive the dancer and diffi culties with which they had to contend after darkness had set in. The moors in this place are covered with peat to the depth of from five to fifteen feet, often affording a treacherous footing to the traveller; and in these great. gullies (locally called " gruffe"), have . been washed from time to time by the rains. Many of these gullies are eight or ten feet deep, and several yards in width, but they ate now, in some places partially, and in others wholly choked rep with snow, adding to the fatigue as well as danger a crossing them. Mr. Sidebottom, who is a stout man, had begun to feel the letigue of the journey much more than his companion when they arrived at the brook, and was so overcome by it and the cold together, that as they sat in a recess formed by the reeks, ut the side of the brook, an almost irresistible drowsiness stole over him, and he proposed to pegs the night there. That they should both have been fatigued and worn out is no wonder, for they frequently lost their &sating, and had severe falls. Mr. Sidebettom slipped down a ledge of rocks ten or twelve feet in depth, and had many Heavy falls, and Mr. Wrigley, who fared little better, sunk at one time kin the bog to his armpits, be sides getting wet in the brook. as before mentioned. Mr. Wrigley resisted the proposition to pass the night in the recess, which only partially sheltered them from the weather, believing that from the state they were 1 s th u e rv n i : e n, ti ( l re the or ret b u o r t n h c l da tl y ie 1.. induced his companion to make an effort to find the ' turnpike road, or a • more suitable place of' shelter. ;manccieu‘ildithasssamreedldyillinet:tcyr • They then climbed the rock, to an elevreion of probably a hundred feet about the level of the stream, and it then became evident that Mr. Sidebottom was too much benumbed and exhausted to move much forth -, r. In this dilemma, it is a sinetilsr circumstance that Mr. Wrigley, who had seats(' himself on a ledge of rock, regardless of the snow, to wait ter his companit n (eho had called upon him to step, declaringhis inability to continue the journey), feeling an opening beneath his feet, which he could not fathom even by holding on the re ck with the hands, was led to hope there was some recess in which they could obtain shelter for the remainder of the night. In the darkness, how ever,' it was impossible to see of what depth it might be; and they were afraid .to trust themselves to a descent which might involve serious injury, or lose of We. At length Mr. Sidebottom, taking hold of the bands of Mr. Wrigley, was let down, and enabled to touch the bottom with his feet, and both of them descending, found them selves immediately in a cavern of the rocks, of irres.,rular shape, but about 3 yards in length and li yards in width. Here they at once resolved to pass the night. It was difficult to say which was in the worst rendition for such a resting place. Mr. Wrigley was wet to the skin, but had a topcoat and gloves on; Mr. Sidebottom had left home without either of these useful cover ings. They could not see the time by their watches, but imagined it to be about eight o'clock when they discovered the cave. To keep out the snow, which blew into their retreat with bitter coldness, the only thing available to form a door was the ordnance map, which hail been wet through in Mr. Wrigley's pocket when he fell ioto the hreok ; anti this, on !wine held to the mouth of the cave, soon stiffened with the frost, and, to some extent, formed a screen from the wind and meow. For several to.urs they sat haek to I. a. k, in the hope that they should be able, with the heat obtained in this way, to resist the effect , of the cold, but they found it re:Tess vary at interve.s to get upon their feet and move about, and stamp on the floor, to Educe ma circulation of the blood, Even with these aids, however, they found the cold so piercing about midnight, as to induce them to try other means, rind oue of, these was to wrap their handkeichies s o ver th e i r faces and mouths, as veils, to obtain the benefit of warmth to the face from the breath thus confieed to that locality. For several hours, Mr. Sidebottom lay across Mr. Wrigley': knees, as that gen tlemen sat on the finer of the cave with his back against one of the aid( s, and his right arm resting on a shelf' of the rock; and additional warmth was obtained by each in this way. The great difficulty was to keep off sleep, which each felt must he fatal to the party indulging in it; and to kee l , off this friend so refreshing to the tired frame under ordinary circumstances, but now dreaded as the worst enemy that could insinuate itself, they found it necessary continually to ask each other the question. In spite of all their efforts, however, they seem to have been so benumbed and cold as only to have retained half-consciousness, and day-light, at seven o'clock, sur prised and gladdened them by its appearance, when they supposed it to be only three in the merning. With . the return of light, on Tuesday morning, they ventured forth from their wretched retreat, but so nearly deprived of sensibility,they c ou ld w ith difficulty difficulty walk. Nor was that difficulty lessened by the nature of the country they had to traverse. They followed the course of the brook which they had sup posed to be the Crowden, till they came t o a she ep. track on the southerly side, and here they made the disappointing discovery, that they were several miles from the point they had supposed themselves to have reached. Instead of finding themselves on the Great Crowden Brook they found it was the Greenfield Brook ; and the object by which they first made this discovery was the plantation at no great distance, at the top of which stands the house known by the name of Bills-'O-Jack's, the scene of a notorious murder, committed some years ago upon a father and son, the perpetrators of which have never ) et been discovered. They pressed forward as fast as they could, having iliscovered tho locality, and soon arrived at a farm-house called Ash way Gap, where they broke a fast which had been protracted to twenty-six hours' duration I It they walked with difficulty and pain, however, befoie reaching this shelter, they had still greater difficulty in walking after sitting before a warm fire for a time. They tried in vain to obtain a convey ance on the road, and had to walk to Stalybridge, a dis tance of eight or nine miles, from whence they took " ths rail" to their respeetive homes. Mr. Wrigley had left home, stating that he might probably be away all night, and his absence created no uneasiness; but Mr. Sidebottom had given no such intimation to his family, and the alarm in which his protracted absence hal placed them may be conceived. Both of the gentlemen have iuffsred severely from the effects of cold and bruises since—Mr. Sidebottom in particular—but we believe they are now fast recovering from them.' It is a sin gular circumstance, that though they must have walked a distance of not less than nine or ten miles on the Monday night, after leaving the Green field turnpike road, the cave in which they shel tered is not more than half a mile from the point they started from. and at which they had s second time found themselves at four o'clock; so that they seem to have journeyed, probably from some peculiarity of the country, continually in a circle. The rocks in which the cave is situated are marked upon the ordnance map, sted are called "Seal Bark Rocks," OM 13 i and a-quarter from the home above-nun?* tioned—Bills 2 o-Jack's. The people at Cireenliel.l stated that the night had been one of the se verest they had experienced for many years, and, ac customed as they had been to the keen air of the hills, it was with difficulty they could be made to believe that human beings had survived such a bitter frost and snow in a situation so exposed. Mr. Wfigley states that the position of the cave is ruch, that it is doubtful if it has ever lit • e been visited ; and that f they had perished, it is probable that years would have elapsed before their bodies would have tech discovered, ia indeed, they had ever been dis covered! Their fingers on the Tuesday morning were so benumbed and contracted, that as they took them from their pockets, pulling out with them money and other articles, which fell in the snow, they had no power of picking them up from the ground; and up to this time sensibility has been but imperfectly restored to these important members.—Manchester Times. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Froze a curious " Table of Prices of Wheat," by Lieu tenant Mackenzie, author of the Elements of the Cycles of the Winds, Weather, and Prices of Corn," compiled from Smith's " Wealth of Nations," and our Parliamen 'ary records, the following deductions are made. We are induced to lay these before our readers from the electimstlnee that, of late, public attention has been aroused, teeli e,t home and abroad, to the discovery made by Maekeezie of a fifty-four year cycle or Dent odical revolution of the weather. The " Table" we refer to records the prices of wheat from the year 1203 to the present time; and, by a minute computation, it is proved that during twenty-seven years of the cycle prices have a tendency to rise, and during the other twenty-seven years to fall. From 1836 till 1847, the in clination to higher prices has been perceptible; and, from the present year till the year 1862 they will, it is conjectured, still further advance. This the author ascribes to the great prevalence of unfavourable winds on th i s di v i s i o n of the fifty-four years' cycle. The dreadful years of 1800-1801,- when prices were at 110-. , c w or h r e e n s p p o r n iwere i s i o l n l 6 c : f . is no doubt (the author a :he effect and other emven ndtml i l t l s 6 ) s t . h ; a t t i h 2 fi ,Icrleoe3rn laws, a ci twenty-sevenuarter; fell tional arrangements of legislators, political economists, changes in the currency, &c., materially affect the prices: these, and a state of peace or .war, vary the rate and generally produce higher prices upon both the dear and cheap divisions of the cycle—more espeAully when Europe is suffying under a striking visitacion of nature; but Legislative measures can have no Owe in any sys tematic account' of the weather or itrtlie revolution of seasons ; and such is the powerful Influence of the weather, that prices, on the average, are oroved to be cheap and dear on the respective divisions of the fifty- four years' cycle. This very influence of the weather—altogether in:lepen4ent of conventional ar rang,ements—would produce, as it has produced already for a period extended back for more than five hundred years, an average of 54 s en the dear half (or twenty seven years) of the cycle; and of 365. per quarter 00 the cheap half. We are now in the comtnencement of a series of unfavourable years, which (if the theory be well-founded) wi l prevail till 1862, when another revo lution of the cycle will occur, which will have a tendency to produce greater abundance, and consequently the prices will decrease from that period till the year 1889. —Church and Ade Gazette. FOOD RIOT—STATE of the NORTH. Avoca.—At the village of Avoch, in floss-shire, very determined opposition was made by the fishermen and others of the villagers, upon Friday and Saturday last, to an attempt, by Mr. George More, farmer and corn dealer, to ship some bixley. Mr. More having applied for protection in the shipment, Mr. Jardine, the sheriff of the county, accompanied by Mr. Cameron, the sheriff substitute, Mr. Mackenzie, the procurator-fiscal, and some officers, repaired to Avoch upon Friday, and were joined there by Sir Jas. Mackenzie, Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch, .and others. • Arrangements had been made for procuring from Fort-George, the aid of a company of the 76th Regi ment; but the forenoon was so stormy that they could not be brought across the ferry in time to render their ser vices available that day. In their absence the sheriff and his Firty endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain ac cess to the vessel, which lay at the pier-head to receive the grain. Previously to their arrival, the entrance to the pi.-r had been barricaded by means . of boats reversed, and, when they came up, a crowd of from 100 to 200 men and women, old and young, expressed to them, very unequivocally, their resolution to obstruct the grain in its passage to the ship. Proceetliogs were, in conse quence, delayed until Saturday forenoon. when the au thorities and ~their friends re-appeared,. . supported by sixty men aid two officers from the Fort. The villagers had, in too aaeantime, loosened the vessel from -het :moorings, anti it was not until about two o'clo:k the state of the tide admitted of her being afloat ; but several of the fishermen entered their boats in the herbour, with the evident design of drawing her away, should she move towardi the pier. The people were . addressed, and reasoned with by the Sheriff and others to no purpose. - One o' the crowd read aloud the Resolutions; of a meeting held ' about n fortnight ago, containing a pledge, subscribial by Mr. More Among .others, not to export any more grain from . the district this season.

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO. (From the Northern Whig.) The interest with which every addition to our stock of plants, capable of affording food, is at present regarded, will rendetea few observations, on a species of grain hi therto unknown in Ireland, acceptable to our readers. At a late meeting of the Council of the Cheinico-Agricul tural Society, I produced a sample of the seeds of a South American plant, which,by the kindness of a friend, I had procured, about a year ago, from a Peruvian gen tleman, who, at present, resides in Liverpool. The parcel, containing the seeds, was accompanied with a note, in praise of their numerous valuable qualities, and stated, that they were known in Peru by the name of quinoa. At the same time, my friend sup• plied Mr. Ferguson, Curator of the Royal Botanic Garden, with a parcel of the seeds, but which, I regret to find, upon inquiry, dill not vegetate. The only infor mation which I could, at that time, procure, respecting the plant that yields these seeds, was in the writings of the old Spanish voyager, Don Antonio de Utica, wine in his work on South America, when giving an account of the vegetable productions of the Province of Quito, speaks highly of its value, both for food and medicine. In the interesting work on South America of Dr. Tschud', a German traveller, which has lately been translated into English, I observe some additional particulars re specting it, which are of peculiar interest, from the circumstance, that the plant his been successfully culti vated in Germany ; and should, according to hie ac count, be regarded as , valuable substitute for the potato. The following is the description which Ulloa gives us of this grain :---" Besides the grains of the same species with those in Spain, this country (Quito) has one peculiar to itself, and which very well deserves to be ranked among the most palatable foods ; but. still more valuable, from its being one of the best preserva tives against all kinds of abscesses and imposthumes. This useful species of grain is here called quinoa, re sembles a lentile in shape, but much less, anti very white ; when boiled it opens, and out comes a spiral fibre, which apears like a small worm, but whiter than the husk of the grain. It is an annuel plant, being sowed and reaped every year. The sw m i about three or four feet in height, and has a large pointed leaf, something like that of the Mellor°. The flower is of a deep red, awl five or six inches in length, and in it are contained the grains or seed. The quinoa ' is eaten boiled, like rice, and has a very pleasant taste, and the water in which it has been boded is often used as an apezem. The quinoa is often used in external applications, in order to which, it is ground aed boiled to a pre-per consistence ; after which, it is applied to the part, from which it soon extracts all corrupt humours occasioned by a contusisn. Dr. Tschudi account oF this plant is not less interesting.—" Maize," he slys, "is the species of grain most extensively culti vated in the Sierra ; it is of excellent quality, though smaller than that grown on the coast. Wheat, though it thrives well, is cultivated only in a very limited quantity, and the bread made frem it is exceedingly bad. The other species of European grain, barley ex cepted, are unknown to the Serra.nos. To compensate for the want cif them, they hare the quinoa. (cheno podium quinoa, L), which is at once ethrious, whole some, end a pleasant article of food. The leaves of this plant, before it attains Lull gmturity, are eaten like spinach ; but it is the seeds' which are generally used tor food. They are prepared in a variety of ways. but inost frequently boiled in milk or broth, and stenetimes cooked with cheese and Spanish • pepper. Tee dried stems-of the quinoa are us' das fuel. Experiments in the cultivation of this plant have been tried in some parts of Germany, and with considerable success. It would appear, however, that its flevour is not much liked—a circumstance rather surprising to the traveller, who has tasted it in Peru, where it is regarded in the light of a delicacy. It we're to be wished, that the general cultivation of the quinoa could be introduced throughout Europe ; for, during the preys fence of the potato disease. this plant would be found of the greatest utility. It is a well-known fact that pota toes and tea, two articles now in such universal use, were not liked on their first introduction into Europe. The quinoa plant, which yields a wholesome article of food, would thrive perfectly in our hemisphere • and though, in its hitherto limited trial, it has not found favour, there is no reason to conclude that it may not at a future time become an objest of general consumption."

HRNRY RUSSELL AT THE STRAND THEATRE.--• Few of our native vocalists and composers have reached greater popularity than Mr. Henry Russell—none have better reserved it. We attribute this success to a variety -cif Air. Russell has a very tine voice, of great compass, and so xceedingly n.an,geable. that.. it is espalde alike ot expre,s- Mg the thpths of •passii:ia' and A pathos. Ili, manses. too, is siitinguislied for its utter want of pretension. His styl both as a singer and a compose-, is distinguished for its purity. After a -provincial campaign of considerable dura tion, be has come ha€k to Loudon for a short time, and has taken the Strand Theatre• for the purposes of his performs slices. That place of amusement, which is too small for any hut private theatricals, is exactly the place for a performer who, without any assistance, undertakes to make two hours pass so Very pleasantly that the auditors "take no note of time,'' • and when it is done wonder how he performances could have extended to such a length. Be sides, the size of the Stroud Theatre peculiarly adapts it tbr the voice. There " hearing does not die in vastnesa," and tie varying intonations and inflections of that magnificent iegan-s-the human voice—can there be heard with satis faction.: The theatreerhas been crowded during the week, and Ale. .Russell has never been in better voice. The changes from grave to gay, from lively to severe," in his songs and :Anecdotes is very pleasant,. " l'lte Dream of the Re,beller" (which, by its truth and power, thrills through the heart), or the celebrated " Song of the Shirt," have scarcely been uttered, with the added force which music can give, ere the change is giVen to the impulse by some clever and arousing Negro anecdste, or some lively song. This variety gives the' greatest relief. It has been Ebenezer Elliott's greatest boast that the immortal C"hristopher North once designated him " The Poet of the Poor.'-'- It. may be Mr. Russell's pride, that he, :merits to be called " The Musician for the People." Through the medium of his art, he has constantly aimed at the amelioration of the poorer classes. He has made the truth plead for them,—be has familiarised the wealthy, the Aristocracy, and the proud, with the sufferings and wrongs of the bumble and lowly. His is a high mission, and he fulfils it worthily. We may add that a new system has been introduced by Mr. Russell at the Strand 'Theatre. At other places of amusement the attenCnts expect fees for taking charge of cloaks, bonnets, &c., but at Mr. Russell's no such payments are permitted, white the needful is dose quite as etliCiently. and far more courteously, than by feed but ever craving servitors MORE STREET ROBBERIES IN EDINBURGH.—We !tear that on Wednesday night, last week, a gentleman con veyed with the Excise, was knocked down on the road lead ing from Market-street to the Mound, and robbed of a gold watch--and late on Saturday night, a tradesman while going to his house in Potter-row, was assaulted in that street and rubbed of about 15s.—Caledonian Mercury. The fo - lowing paragraph, which we find in the Toronto Herald, gives a vivid picture of the extreme cold in Canada It is with no small concern that, at the v. ry outset of our new volume, we have been compelled by cir cumstances, over which we could have no control, to be behind-hand as to the hour when to.day's Herald is issued. On Saturday evening the first side was worked off, and pre pared for going to press with the inside sheet the first thing this morning. Owing, however, to the extreme cold of last night, the paper—which, as every one acquainted with printing is aware of, is wetted down previously—was frozen together in a solid mass, despite all the precautions taken (luring the intervening day to prevent such an occurrence. The consequence has been that the paper had to be thawed, and some portion of it worked off a second time, ere the ordinary process could be gone on with. Hence the reason for the Herald being out so late this day." LYNCH LAW IN DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.-. 4 ra ther summary mode of executing justice was adopted here last week, on board the hulk occupied by the crew of the Brazilian vessel now undergoing repair in the dockyard. It appears that two officers of this vessel engaged a couple of watermen to row them on board. not taking the caution to agree as to the fare previously. Now it is well known what watermes consider it their bounden duty to do under these circumstunces. In the present instance, then, they did not fail to demand 2s. instead of the one the Btazilians believed to be properly due. These refused to pay, and began to ascend the companion ladder. One of the men, with that polite and courteous urbanity which characterises his profes sion, instantly laid his hand upon the coat-tail of the hind most, and the result was a considerable rent in the laced skirt, and the ignominious detection of the officer. In this shuation the latter judiciously sounded a parley. " Well, my good fellow," said he to his grim Charon, " come on board, and we'll arrange what you're to have." Nothing suspecting, the waterman went on deck, but was seized soon after by a file of marines, and received an uncertain number of lustily applied lashes, which, we are told, lie (id not bear with that amiable spirit of resignation one would have ex pected. His companion, artfully seduced on deck by visionary promises of biscuit and grog, was served in a similar manner, and after being kept some hours, the two were dismissed to make their reflections on the incompatibility of possessing at the same tune roguery and a sound back.--Deroaport Journal. PERILOUS SNOW STORM IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE —The mail from Gloucester to Aberystwith was in great peril on its road at the foot of Plitilimmon Mountain, on Tuesday, the 9th inst. On its arrival at Llangwrig, at eight o'clock in the. evening, being five hours after time, six horses were attached to it, and it proceeded with the greatest diffi culty for five miles, when the obstructions increased. With the aid of Mr. Scott, of the Trewythen Arms Inn, Llanidloes, who happened to be at Llangwrig when the mail passed, and volunteered to swiss, they got it onward another mile ; further, however, it was impossible to go, the drift being as high as the top of tha Co ach f and the road being without fences of any kind, was totally undiscoverable. Sometime before this the postilion on the third pair of horses had been put inside the coach, he being totally benumbed with the intense cold, and his place on the saddle was taken by a stable boy. In this distress, it being evident that the coach must be abandoned for the night, the horses were detached, and the coachman (who for some time had been unable to drive, and had resigned the reins to Mr. Scott, who fortunately knew the road Al ell) was put upon one of them, bat could nut retain his seat, and was so totally helpless that Mr. Scott and the guard had nu alternative but to put him also within the coach, with the postilion, for the night; whence he was fetched to Dyffrvn Castle Inn, on the tollowing day, in adk plorable state. The horses were with dia•ulty taken to Dyffryn Castle, and the mail bags were taken thence by Mr. Scott and the guard to Aberystwith, where they arrived at six o'cloek in the morn ing of the 10th. Thu coach was cut out of the drift in the course of the day. Fortunately there were no inside pai- • sengers.—Shrewabury Chronicle. , STATE OF TRADE.

Dent," as sing out of a dispute respecting some mercantile tranactlons between the plaintiff and de fendant, the representatives of houses in Manchester and London respectively. The case, • dry and uninteresting one, was not expected to close before the rising of the Court. COURT OF - QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 27. • (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DJ NNAN and a special jury:) TIM QUEEN v. DUNN. Immediately after the openieg of the court, it was crowded to excess, and much curiosity was evinced tie see the parties in this celebrated cause. Tile circum stances of the case are too well knoWn to the public to need recapitulation, and it may he sufficient to say, that the defendant was indicted fer perjury, in swearing that an order of Miss Burdett Coitus, on the hank of Messrs. Coutts and Co. for 100,0001., was genuine. The trial had been removed by cer , i4rari from the Old Bailey to the Court of Queen's Bench, and Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Hawkins, were retained for the prose cution. Mr. Dunn conducted his own defence. Miss Burdett Coutts, who was accompanied by Lord Sandon, sat upon the bench with the Lord Chief Justice, and*gave her evidence with much calmness and self pos session: She, with Mr. MarjoribankS, Sir Edward An trobus, and a clerk in the bank, proved the application at the bank, as also that no authority had been given to Mr. Dunn to draw upon the bank by Miss Coutts. The several Witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Dunn, and the declaration for the writ of certiorari was read, the substance .of which was. that the defendant Would elsewhere be deprived of a fair trial. Mr. DUNN then entered upon his defence, and said that be stood before them in what Sir F. Thesiger had called a painful position. He dins not take the shield of weakness; of intellect, being in the full posseasion of his mental faculties, and with ill the Means for tupporeiiig•of his own eefence. He might have employed some .legal advocate to state his case, but, by the oath which he was ready to take, he felt assured that the jury would come to the conclusion that he bad net acted with any fraudulent inte.'t. It shi ,uld be recollected that the law did not consider a man guilty of perjury if he made an assertion in mistake. While a prisoner in the Fleet, at Mies Burdett Coutts'a instance he received a number of letters - signed A. B. C., to each of which he had sent a reply, and had in all twee obtained a rejoinder. He way prepared to prove that these letters had been sent and replied to with the same signature, and all were dated iron .No. 1, Stratton-street, Piccadilly. What would. they, the jury, have dune, had they sent letters and received replies, as he bad done, with these signa tures acknowledgine their letters—would they have at all hesitated to say that they came from the party by whom they professed to be signed? He would produce these letters, and would, by the evidence of his servant. who had been with hire during the four years of hi-; im prisonment, show that these signatures were ap parently genuine. He would prove that the sig nature of Atti e !a Burdett CouLts was precisely the same as that,which was affixed to the. letters which he bad received. But what would they think when be told them that the judges wire acted with the Noble Lard on the bench had unanimously discharged him from custody. These letters had been forwarded through the post office of this metropolis, and was it to be believed that they never reael!ed her hands. He would ask them if Hiss Burdett Coutts had received those letters i,f his, whether she hae Lot committed as gross aid wanton a fraud upon win as was ever committed against any man? If she did receive these letters, why did she not F seed some intimation to him of her indisposition to con tinue the connexion? Whichever way they might de cide, one thing was evident, and that was that some trick had been played upon him, either by Miss Burdett Coutts or by some other person, sod he thought that if he had been guilty of the annoyance to her which he was represented to have occasioned, the only thing that could be done, when he offered to retire from her presence for ever, was to return him the letters .which he had sent to her. But this had not bet n done, and the only aim appeared to be to save her pocket from the payment of the sum of this cheque. The defendant then put in the articles of the peace sworn by Miss Burdett Coutts at Harrowgate, in which the circum• stances well known to the public were detailed. He then endeavoured to read Mr. Edward Majoribank's letter, several of which had been written during the negotiation fir the delivery of his letters. but the Lord Chief Justice decided that they were beyond the date of the present action , _ as they were all dated as far back as the year 1838. The defendant then went on to say that from the hour when his letters were written to the pre sent moment, be had got no denial whatever that the letters which he had received wire genuine. Further, did the jury believe that when he had applied to Mr. Majoribanks, stating that he had authority from Miss Burdett Coutts, authorising him to draw a certain sum from the bank, that that gentleman would not either have gone or have written to No. 1, Stratton street, to inquire whether this authority had been given or not. If then he put in these letters, and showed that the signatures to them were the same as that attached to the articles of peace, he at least was entitled to a formal assertion, that, the..letters which he .had received were not written Burdett Courts. Why did she riot give sash an seeiritoa ? r THESIGZA i d.erposed with a reinerk that Mira Burdett Coutts had etrereet re write such assertion, but tied been prevented by biro, _ • Mr. Duxt4 Proceoed to that there could not be any renvion foi the refection of this assertion. but some object which would present the whole truth from comit:g b-foro the jury. lie had compared the signatures of the letters which he bad received, wit's the signatures in the Crown Court. and helieved.dhem to be identical. Further than that he had evidence to show that the_ signatures of these letters' was' precisely the same as that which had barn affixed to :eaters addressed to Lord James Stewart. Lird . DENmax said that he could not admit such assertions as - these; but the facts might be brought out in evidence. Mr. DeNN then went on to say th a t h e h a d tw i ce been diseharged by Lord Denman, and on the last occa si ,n he had stated, in the prestice of his L,rd,hip, that if Miss Coutts watill come forward and say teat his attentions were oppressive to her, he would flt once ab.ltain from airy t urther pro,ecution of his suit. There was a cearaAer about :he handwriting which, h o w e v er it might be twisted about. Vi 11 still indelibb , :mod that character sva•t' evident iu the signatures of ell the letters which he had recei,ed He had ,addre,,sed a letter to Mr. Majeribails, to stare that he had rece•ved a letter from Miss l'eutts, authorising him to draw upon the bank fir comp7. , nsation, ar . ,d this letter, he thwight. threw a great colour on the case. Afar a number of assertions ; to the ex. et, that through the in s t remewit n t y of Mis 4 Cowts, he had been driven from Lis pr f sse,n, and bad bs•en deprived . - ioth of pi.operz,y amid cosracter, Mr. Thum read his etwo eomtounietion to Mr, Mejeri beaks, and ataed his h-liet Veit on:y was the aothu city to draw gentile., but that an underst,ndin t e laitO been come to b:- twcen that g,n , lianan and Nile Coutts, so that it: the eveet ef tit irawiii ;4 (or a small sum. :! would be allowed to pies ; while it he drew tor a la,g: sum he would be pulled u,t Bu , he had at the ~ne, time written to Miss Cou• and wiam h- ee. e t, !Tan the letter, he put it ieto Mr. 31,jotitiaiiks' and asked him whether that was Miss Coutts's i,and wri:ing. When he did so, that •genti, man put on svetieles, had held it for some time, and t,:•, th had called a clerk to state that the writing was not Miss Coitus's. File very eireinn,tanee of this hesitation to his mind was convincing pi ci , f that the letter was genuine, and he went away, telling Mr. Major banks that he should act upon the authority. Mr. Dunn then read the authority, whien is written in verse, desiring hint to go to the bank and get compenstvion for the in caret-ration which he had suffeaed. Wnen he had saris • fled himself of the genuineness of this document, he asked himselt what the compensation was to which h• was entitled, snd he came to the conclusion that one year% income would be an equivalent for the suffering which he had endured, and for this he hail given notice to Mrs Marjoribank that he intended to draw upon the bank. On his application to Sir Edmund Antrobus he was told that the authority he ptes,nted was no authority at all. but upon it he had made the affidavit for which he was charged with perjury. When this cause came before Mr. Justice Pattesen he had made a statement of the same facts which he had related to-day. At that time Mr. Bodkin had prayed for time for a riply, and t;.,ur ays had been given, but at the end of that time no reply had been made. If this letter were nut genuine, why did they withhold the satisfaction to which he was entitled, and refuse to give him the assurance that the document was a fabrication. After ~capitulating his arguments, Mr. Dunn called Sarah Northfloat, had acted as ,er: , ard iluttug the year 1842. when he was art 13,0 eh, and who testified to the re. - Tipt of letterA, and the posting el letters addressed to Miss Burdett Cuutts, when he was in the Peet and Queen's Bench prisons. Miss Turner confirmed this esideuce. David Law, an accountant, testifird to an interview be tween the defendant and a past.n of the name of but bis evidence was objected t••, and it was ultimately postponed. Nathaniel Wells stated that he h.id had an interview with the defendant, and the object of that interview was 'o convince him, that from a comparison of the letters received by him , the letters in the possession of tln, de fendant were not the genuine letters of Miss Coutts, and he had told him ;that he believed they were no t her Irt t-rs as he could ceriity from his knowledge of her hat d writing. David Law being recalled, stated that at the interview between Mr. Dunn, Mr. Wells, and himself, the two letters addressed to Lord James Stewart were producid b y Wells; and, on exateination, it was agreed that there was a great lik,,ness between the signatures, Wells had also at that time stated that he would produce those let ters in e•mut. Jahn Smith, postmast er o f the Que2n's Bench pt.:son, testified that the post-marks on the letters addresse.i to the defendant were genuine. J. Jonas, clerk of Mr. Clark, of the Centr , l Crlminal Court. merely t, that an incLcttnt-Lt ha.i been pe lt rred a4sirit the deioidant. Mr Dunn th en en d eavonred to put in the letters in evidence, but they were declined, and Sir F. TIIESIGER, in reply, said that, never in his life had he felt great-r difficulty to repress his feelings than on the present occasion. When he opened this ease, he felt it but due to the defendant to suffer the jury to judge whether he was a person of sufficiently sound mind to be responsible for his actiotis, but the result of this painful inquiry had shown not only hat he was i a person of soun d i n t e ll ec t, b u t a l so o f cons id e rable e. , genuity, and quite competent to carry out any previ ously devised scheme, and who, relying on the indispo sition of the prosecutrix to undergo a public ordeal,. expected to escape with impunity from this trial. W th unnecessary cruelty he had put into the hands of]Liss Burdett Coutts the writing of her deceased father. and in the course of his observations had c harged all the witnesses for the prosecution with deliberate perjury. arch, 1846, When he made the aftadavit on the 31st Pa that Miss Burdett Coutts was indebted to him in the turn of 100,0001 e, he had, according to his ° Wil account, held it in his poisession since December 1844. So that according to . the defendant's own state went he had remained in prison for fourteen or fiftee n months for a debt of 80/, which he did not owe, when he had in his possession a power to immediately,rali e r himself of all pecuniary obligations. Then, again, tn. the face of all that had passed, when Miss Model' Coutts had actually sworn articles of peace against hitt. in order to relieve - herself from the persecu tion t o alsin i ! she was exposed. Ur. Dunn alleged, that acting al fe,lings of compunction she had sent him this order. W es this at all likely, and still further, was it pruble that . a n y a lady of position and character should send _ message as that .in the doggerel which had. het': thproduced in Court to day. Sir Fr ed er i c k then wol' e ugh the evidence adduced by the defendants sh' • the inconsistencies which it presented, and rern arkit ilia; Miss Burdett Coutts ha d never written a letter 0 him in her life. It wel t evident from the mode of d irec t. ing and ri•ceiving the letters, that the whole was s e ll: pt. to plan to extort money fr o m Miss . B u rdett. CPut Then there was considerable ingenuity also in thee ' which the affidavit had been framed by the defendaneee't: still it did nut waive the actual swearing. The defen_ i da n st ha't said that his object was not to make Miss Baru', Coutts a bankrupt, but to obtain an equitable considlh; tion of his claim. But this *as evidently a pad of I scheme, fur he made the affidavit that she was indebtn. to him after be had been told by four differt individuals that the supposed authority ' wa s n • it in Miss CoSts's hand-wri.ing. Still further,d..o was evident that the attempt to drag Alial, l3l ,„ r li Coutts before the Court of Bankruptcy arose ir°i— same motive, from the terms of the writ of .certioratio, which the case had been moved into this Coad. , Learned Counsel then investigated the assertions ea Dann respecting the conduct of Mr. Majoribanks wards him, showing their utter futility, and Pr f t l a t that every information had been given to him. an' d o he had bad a formal assurance at the bank that authority was net in Miss Coutts's handwritingf,.„ n lw " wi lb ll•tnore, in reply to a letter addressed by Mr. ', to Miss Coutts, her attorney had written to him on I 20th of March, also formally: denying that she ( 4 ° l, did owe, or ever had • owed, him anything; and Y e t° eleven days afterwards, be deliberately goe s 'g the Court of Bankruptcy and makes an affi dsli i that she is indebted to him in the sum of 10 0 1: After again going through the circum s tances, Sir n Thesiger put it to the Jury to say w h e ther Mr. Du u n ; had made this affidavit with the belief that there was Id truth in the allegation which it contained. If they.c°llt come to such a conclusion, they would, of course, seq 3 ;,.. the defendant , but if not, they would discharge t ne cluiy by finding him guilty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sumed up at enflame. - ble length, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. • , t i, Sir. F. TIIESIGER mu‘ed for judgment on the countoind the Lord Chief Justice, in passing sea_ A t erj r,; expressed his opinion, that the papers were fabricater,l the defendant. He then sentenced him to aigb' o f months imprisonment, and to find security, at the an i d r i s that time, to keep the peace for two years, kin 3s°. 1001, and two s:curites of 561. ekoh.
