FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INIELLIGEACE UNITED STATES By the arrival of the Hibernia, Capt. Judkins, British and North American Post-office Steam-packet, we have intelligence from the United States fifteen days later than by previous vessels. The Hibernia sailed from Boston on the Ist instant, and reached Liverpool shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning. She has brought fifty passengers. . . _ - The Great Western sailed from of the out the day after the Hibernia. The Hibernia Teacbed Boston at ten at night of the lith August; and the Great Western made the passage to Ne►w York, against strong adverse gales, by six in the morning of the 21st August. The New York papers are chiefly occupied in discus sions upon the result of the elections, and the manner in which they will affect the political complexion of the new congress, which will meet at Washington on the first week of December next. The whip party have carried Tennes see, and have a majority of three in the senate, and of seven in the representatives of that state. This secures the election of two United States senators from that state, as they are chosen by the two houses in joint ballot. Elec tions have taken place in other states of state officers and representatives to congress, and resulted generally in the success of the democratic candidates. The accession of those members will not, however, alter the political cha racter of the house, as the democratic party had already a majority sufficiently large to carry all its measures so long as its members remain united. The senate, when full, will probably stand 28 whigs to 21 democrats. The house of representatives of the United States will consist of 223 members under the new Appor tionment Act, and in this body the democrats will have a majority of two-thirds. It is very clear, then, that very little can be ccomplished next session. Each branch of congress will be equally opposed to the President and to the other. He can do nothing with the whigs, and the democrats repudiate his alliance, coupled as it would be with a tacit understanding that he might be brought for ward as a candidate for the next Presidency. Many important appointments have been made by the President since the adjournment of Congress, by virtue of his authority to fill vacancies which occur during the recess of the senate. By virtue of such appointments Mr. Cushing has gone to China, Mr. Proffit to Rio Janeiro; and the holders of many less important offices are simi larly situated. Their appointments have not been con .firmed by the senate, and unless they are their acts will be invalid, even if they are not recalled. Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Calhoun are candidates for the Presidency ; and President Tyler is anxious that in his case the rule which has obtained of late, of allowing the President to hold the office for twice four years consecu tively, should be permitted to prevail. The reports as to Commercial and Monetary affairs are satisfactory. In the New York market there is abun dance of money without any corresponding demand. Con sequently, the exchanges on Europe were looking up, and as low rates of interest prevailed, it was probable that if any further advance in the Exchanges took place the sur plus bullion would be exported. The stocks of the divi dend-paying-States were readily purchased, and for all other public securities the market was firm and buoyant. The Wheat crop of the West is described as larger than ever was known before. The papers mention that Mr. Horsley Palmer, a late Governor of the Bank of England, and who lately arrived in New York from England, is about to take up his resi dence in that city. From Canada we have no news of importance. His excellency the Governor General, Sir Charles Metcalfe, has paid a visit to Quebec, and been well received. The Canadian Parliament is to meet at Kingston, on the 28th instant. The question as to what town shall constitute the seat of Government in Canada still remains undecided. Five towns in particular contend for the honour—Quebec, Montreal, Bytown, Kingston, and Toronto. The Col onial Office consider Quebec and Toronto to be situate too far from the centre of the Province, but with regard to the other three are anxious to be guided by the wishes of the majority of the Legislature. The Montreal papers speak confidently as to that city being selected. FATAL DUEL AT NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans Diamond, of Sunday, the 20th ult., comes to us with the following account of a duel, which took place there on the day previous : There was considerable excitement in the city last evening, in consequence of a hostile meeting between Nlr. Hueston, of the Baton Rouge Gazette, and the Hon. Alcee Labranche. The public are well acquainted with the particulars which led to this meeting, and as they were stated in our paper of Thursday, we do not deem it necessary to refer to them again. The parties met at six o'clock, at " The Oaks," a short distance from the Gentility-road. The distance agreed upon was forty yards, and the weapons selected double barrelled shot guns, to be loaded with ball—the parties to fire between the words one and five, They fought four rounds, the result of which was as follows : First round.—Mr. Labranche discharged both barrels at the same time, and before Mr. Hueston bad fired a second barrel the time fixed upon expired. Of course, he lost a fire. Second round.—Both fired single barrels at intervals. Mr. Labranche's second barrel struck the pantaloons of Mr. Hueston, and passed through the knees of them, without touching the flesh. Third round.—Mr. Labranche fired both barrels at the same time; the balls passed through the bat of Mr. Hueston, about two inches apart. Fourth round.—Mr. Hueston fired first. Mr. La branche's shot took effect in the left side, on the last rib, and passed out on the other side, ranging low down. He threw his gun forward, and fell back at full length on the ground. The wound was at first pronounced mortal by the physicians in attendance. The parties exhibited on the ground the utmost cool ness and fortitude. Mr. Hueston was placed o❑ a litter and carried to a house near the ground. We are happy to state that at a late hour last night, hopes were enter tained of his recovery. P.S. Most sincerely do we regret the duty that de volves upon us of announcing the death of Mr. Hueston. He expired at half past eleven o'clock, in the full posses sion of his mental faculties. MONTE VIDEO The 2lionte Video Reporter of the 24th of June con tains intelligence of a victory obtained by General Rivera, of which the following is the bulletin : " Ensign Bustos, who has just arrived with the official news of the glorious triumph of General Rivera, states that at the moment of his departure the number of killed was calculated at upwards of 400, and that parties of pri soners were arriving every moment. The enemy's army, disorganized by this amazing defeat, will soon be buried under the soil which it profanes with crimes. " THE GENERAL IN CHIEF OF THE ARMIES OF THE REPUBLIC " Head-quarters, on the Heights of Solis Chico, June 18, 1843. . .. .. . _ " It is highly satisfactory to me to acquaint your Ex cellency, that you may be pleased to make known to the Government and the public, that this morning the army under my orders has obtained a complete victory over the vanguard of the enemy, under the command, according to the information given by the prisoners, of one Flores (a Porteno), who dared to present himself before our brave troops. " The field is strewn with more than 300 slain, and up wards of 200 prisoners are taken. " Ensign Bustos takes this first despatch, and a supe rior officer will follow with a detailed account of this im portant victory, which will probably (Heaven grant it !) be the forerunner of greater triumphs. " From this moment I recommend this army of brave men to your Excellency, intending to do so with greater earnestness in the next account, which will contain all the details. " God preserve your Excellency many years. " FRUCTUOSO RIVERA. "To his Excellency the Minister of War, Colonel Don :Melchior Pacheo y Obes." The report goes on to state, that no detailed account bad yet been officially received, but that the rout of the enemy was represented in private letters to have been complete, and the loss greater than estimated in the de spatch, which was written on horseback, and sent while the troops were still pursuing the enemy. The opposing forces in this affair are calculated at 2,000 men, and the object of their appearing in front of General Rivera's corps, it is conjectured, was to draw his attention from foraging parties in other directions. The concentration of the whole of th e cava l r y an d i n f a ntry upon the city is cited in support of this conjecture. SPAIN. The Monifeur publishes the following telegraphic de spatches : _ " PERPIGNAN, Sept. B.—On the 7tb, at five o'clock p.m., Fort Montjuich opened its fire against the Atara- " A brigade of artillery, coming from Molins del Rey, and 400 military from Igualada , have arrived at Gracia: The auxiliaries of Vich, Villafranca, Manresa, and Berga, are marching to co-operate with the Captain-General against the insurgents.

Private accounts from Barcelona of the sth instant state that Prim and his force withdrew on the 4th to some dis tance from the city, which enabled the Nationals of Sabadal to enter the place. Echalecu, summoned by Prim to fire upon the positions occupied by the insurgents, had refused obedience to his orders. Mataro, Vinaroz, and other dis tricts had declared for the Junta.

MACGOWAN'S LETTER-FILTHY STATE OF PART OF THE CITY. &C I was called on by a Jew about _ wcvne ado to visit wno was dangerously ill. • As I approached the house, which was situated in the Jewish quarter. I was assailed by an insufferable stench, which I soon dis covered proceeded from the slaughtering place for the city, and which is the most disgusting of all the many nuisances it contains. It is a large square piece of ground covered with fragments of carcasses in a state of putrefac tion, drenched with the gore of slaughtered animals, which is constantly renewed. All these debris are allowed to accumulate and lie exposed to the burning sun. The only scavengers are the gaunt famished dogs of the city. num bers of which I saw scattered up and down the fields, de vouring the offal and fragments. Some of them who had gorged themselves to the full, were stalking slowly away from their horrid feast licking their gory jaws. The stench arising from this Alcedama, or field of blood, is perfectly pestilential. I have no doubt that it is the fruitful source of fever and ague of the worst description. The house of the patient was situated in one of the sides of this same square, and surrounded by its tainted atmos phere. The poor Jew who was my guide led me into an open court, wherein were two small low tenements, in one of which was the patient, laid upon a mattrass on the floor. The room was small, wretched, and dirty, and swarming with vermin. I walked to the bed-side and spoke to the poor sick woman, but she was unable to answer me. She was lying on her back in utter helplessness, and her tongue was brown and parched, as in the advanced stage of typhus fever. She motioned with her hand to her right side, as the seat of pain, and on examination I ascertained that she was labouring under inflammation of the lungs, which hail assumed a typhrid character. A female was seated on the ground beside the patient, affected with leprosy, who addressed me in Spanish, and to whom I delivered my directions respecting the medicines and diet of the patient, in the same language. As I ordered fowl-broth, she gave me to understand that they had no means of procuring it, which difficulty was soon removed. In the adjoining tenement I found a young woman suffering from ague, and a sickly child. As I was leaving the lazar-house of sickness and misery, I could not help alluding to the danger of their living in such an infected locality. The poor Jew seemed almost unconscious, and even indifferent to the evil. " What can poor folks do ? " was his only answer to my remark. I had small hopes of saving my patient under such unfa vourable circumstances. For ten days successively I went to see her, at the end of which it pleased God to bless the means employed for her relief, and raise her from her sick bed. There are few cases which have given me more hearty satisfaction than the recovery of this poor woman. LETTER FROM THE REV J. NICOLAYSON. Mr. Nicolayson gives in his letter, dated Jerusalem, June 28, the following account of the establishment of the mission at Safet ; to which station Mr. P. H. Sternschuss and Mr. A. J. Behrens had been appointed : It was thought advisable that I should accompany the brethren Sternschnss and Behrens to Safet, to see them settled there, on account of the peculiar state of things at this new station. Tanoos Kerm, a native Christian, hav ing succeeded in purchasing a house there, we did not in deed anticipate any serious difficulty ; but still there was reason to expect such occurrences, as might prove per plexing and discouraging to new corners, and also lead to more serious consequences if not rightly met. Accord ingly, I left this with them and Tanoos Kerm and his fa mily on Monday, the 29th of May, and by God's good hand upon us we have succeeded in establishing that sta tion permanently, I trust. Of this I have now to report to you the particulars. Early on the day after our de parture from this we reached Jaffa, and had time and op portunity to engage a boat for Acre, and to start the same afternoon with a promising wind. We landed at Acre in the afternoon, and started next morning (the Ist of June) for Safet. Having much baggage with us, we did not ex pect to make more than about half the distance that day, and slept near the village of Rameh, at a copious spring in the fertile mountains of Naphtali (Upper Galilee). Thence we started very early next morning, and rode for many miles through the finest natural scenery I have ever seen in this country : whole forests, in fact, of the richest olive-trees, afterwards succeeded by evergreen oaks, and other forest-trees, in a very elevated but most abundantly watered region ; little brooks and rapid rills rushing down the hills in all directions, enough to enchant by the con trast to the parched dryness of the south. The depth and ruggedness of the ravine that separates the last of these delightful mountains from the dry chalky ridge of Safet, makes a turn in the road necessary, which adds a tedious couple of hours to the journey ; while Safet, " set on a hill," is constantly clear in sight, but, near as it is, seems to mock the a ttempt.of reaching it. Still we arrived early in the day, June 2. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS JERUSALEM, MAY 4TH.—A sermon was preached by the Bishop in St. James's, in behalf of the above society. Prince Albert of Prussia was present. After the sermon, a collection was made, which amounted to 7634—about 71. MAY THE sTH.—This being the day of the annual meet ;log of the society in London, a meeting was held in the room adjoining the chapel, which was addressed by the Bishop, Dr. Macgowan, Mr. Nicolayson, Dr. Kerns, and Mr. Ewald. Collection 394 piastres, or £3 63. MAY 21.—This morning, at a special Hebrew service, at seven o'clock, Rabbi Eleazer, Rabbi Benjamin, Isaac H irseh , and Simon Fraiinket, were baptised by the bishop in the holy tongue. Louis: Philippe has given the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and a handsome present, to the postilion to whose great strength, courage, and presence of mind, the royal family owed their late narrow escape from destruction. The National German Gazette of the 9th instant an nounces that a new conspiracy had been discovered at Warsaw, and that more than 100 persons had been ar rested. A letter from Guadaloupe announces the destruction. by fire, of the Amedee-Constance, from Havre to Vera Cruz. with a cargo valued at 500,000 francs. She had nearly arrived at her destination when the fire, which is supposed to have proceeded from the spontaneous com bustion of part of the cargo, made its appearance. The crew were saved. A NEW CRIME.—NAPLES, Aug. 2G.—The police are extremely active in arresting persons charged with setting fire to the clothes of women and children. It does not appear, however, that the practice is put an end to ; for a case has just occurred in which a lady was much in jured. It appears that the barbarity is accomplished by throwing on the dress a fluid which takes fire of itself. Great alarm prevails amongst the inhabitants, and a lady now is seldom to be seen in Toledo-street. Very few ladies, also, are to be seen in the church. Further politi cal arrests are spoken of, and it is said that considerable reinforcements of troops are to be sent to Sicily. THREATENED DESTRUCTION OF BAlllA.—Thefollow ing is a transcript from the Diario Novo, Pernambuco paper, of the 31st of July last. It is given under the head " Bahia, July 10 : "—The lower town of Bahia is threatened with total destruction, owing to the heavy rains having undermined the mountain which overhangs the town ; already part of it has fallen, and buried the Church of Pillar, the wharfs and houses in the neighbour hood, together with the vicar of that church and many other persons. The mountain has also fallen in other places, and it is expected that the lower town will be abandoned altogether. Great consternation and distress prevailed, and the heavy rains continued. INSURRECTION AT ST. DOMINGO.—By the arrival at Falmouth of the schooner Elizabeth, Captain King, from Aux Cayes, St. Domingo, we have advices of the Ist of August, and learn that the coloured population had risen in that town, and proceeded to the plains adjacent, in numbers about six hundred strong. The most extreme threats of extermination had been used by them towards the white inhabitants; the British merchants had, there fore, been preparing to embark on board the shipping in the harbour with their effects. The commandant of the port had sent despatches for reinforcements to the nearest head-quarters, and also to the general in chief, who was at the east of the island. The Waterville was to sail on the 3rd of August, for Falmouth, for orders, and she may bring more detailed accounts. -- T _ LOSS OF THE REGULAR EAST INDIAMAN, Numerous errors having appeared in the published ac counts of the loss of the above vessel, Captain Carter, her commander, has forwarded the following correct narra tive to The Times : " The ship Regular, W. R. Carter, commander, 500 tons, left London, on the 22d February last, bound to Bombay and China, with a valuable cargo of specie, iron, steel, copper, &c. The passage was an ordinary one until the Sth of May, when, scudding in a heavy gale from the N.W., off the Cape of Good Hope, she suddenly sprung a leak, which, in spite of the continued exertions of the crew for four subsequent days and nights, gained con siderably upon them. On the: second day the water gained upon both pumps three inches. The gale con tinuing with unabated fury and a tremendous sea running, it was deemed expedient to lighten her, and about 80 tons of copper, &c. were thrown overboard without any good resulting. The crew were then divided into parties, and the pumps assisted by baling at the fore hatchway. For the two subsequent days the weather continued nearly the same, blowing furiously with a mountainous sea. There was no alternative but to scud before the blast, which was done under a reefed foresail and close-reefed maintopsail. On the 13th all hands became completely exhausted, the pumps never having been left for four days and nights. The ship, at noon, on this day, was in lat. 37 deg. 30 min. S., and in Inn. 35 deg. 30 min. E., when the immense quantity of water in the hold affected her steerage, and it was evident to all she was nearly waterlogged. At three, p.m., the water in the hold being nearly up to the beams, and the crew, despairing .of keeping her afloat by their exertions much longer, they were compelled to take to their boats. At eight, p.m., they left her to her sad fate. In the launch were placed eighteen persons, including the chief and second officers and two female passengers ; in !Anna( rY Captain Carter and four persons. Several ,9. VISIOII9 and water were placed in each boat. n ow KO miles from the nearest land, scudding, ic!i was only 23 mall l and 6 feet 6 inches broad,) before a furious Cape gale, direct from the land. About ten, in a heavy squall of wind, each boat shipped a tremendous sea. From the larger one every thing was obliged to be thrown overboard to lighten her, water, food, compass, charts, &c. The gig cleared herself as she filled over the stern. So, on the top of a mountainous sea, the whole THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD of her contents, save the crew, were washed over her bows. The pinnace shared the same fate as the launch. The gig was then pulled towards the launch, and reached her at midnight. The crew was then removed into her, and she cut adrift. The launch was now too crowded almost to move in, and had lost sight of the pinnace. Thus, in despair, they drove the wretched night through, without chart or compass to direct them, or a sinplp cessary to • Lne sea birds (such as albatross and Cape pigeons) hovering close over them, as if only await ing the moment when the frail boat should be engulphed. At dawn, to their inexpressible joy, the Almighty directed two vessels to their relief, which were descried directly to windward, running immediately down towards them. A signal of distress was made by hoisting a shawl belonging to one of :he lady passengers, which was, providentially, not unobserved. The vessels proved to be the French frigate La Cleopatre, 52 guns, and the corvette Alcmene, 50 guns, proceeding to China, via Bourbon. The com modore, on being made acquainted with the discovery of the signal, immediately rounded the frigate towards the boat, and, at eight, those in the launch were received in safety on board her. On reaching the frigate's deck Cap tain Carter instantly implored the commodore to go in search of his missing men and officers in the pinnace. This request was immediately complied with, and, in less than an hour, the missing boat was discovered by the cor vette, and by her miraculously preserved, all parties thank ing God and the French officers with tears in their eyes, who, through 1 - lis mercy, had been the means of rescuing them from a watery grave. The appearance of these ves sels seemed the more miraculous on this day, as, for forty two days previous they had not sighted a single sail, nor did they fall in with any after on the passage to the Mau ritius. It was, also, afterwards learned that, on the pre vious day, the commodore had determined to alter his course, but had not eventually done so : if he had he would have passed eighty or ninety miles to the eastward of the unfortunate crew. _ _ _ _ The preparations - made by those on board the frigate for removing the poor wrecked people from the boats could never be surpassed. It displayed the skill of a seaman, and, at the same time, showed that every head and heart on board the Cleopatre seconded the exertions of the excellent commander ; and, when they had been safely taken on board, they found that every arrangement had been made for their reception which either humanity or medical skill could dictate, and, from that moment until the arrival of the frigate at the Mauritius, the crew of the Regular received such generous treatment from their de liverers as will never be effaced from their memory. The whole of the officers, passengers, and crew were saved. The former are proceeding to England in her Majesty's ship Belleisie. BLOWING-UP OF A SCHOONER.-SHOCKING MASSACRE. Accounts from Sydney give particulars of the partial destruction of the schooner Catherine, 164 tons burden, Bannatyne, master, which took place in the month of April last, off the Isle of Pines, by the powder magazine being wilfully fired by a gang of native pirates. It appears that the Catherine was on her homeward passage when she stopped at the Isle of Pines on the 12th of April, for the purpose of bartering with the natives. Having previously visited the island, and being received in a friendly manner, the captain apprehended not the least danger of any attack being made on his vessel or on the lives of the crew, and a canoe coming off from the shore to the ship, he allowed several of the natives to re main on board whilst he and some of the crew went on the island. They had not been ashore long when their suspicion was aroused by observing some confusion on board the vessel. At this the captain determined upon making a sudden retreat to his boat, which was lying some yards from the beach. On the boat nearing the schooner the captain instantly saw that the blacks had gained possession of her; he also noticed two of the crew in the foretop, or on the foretop-sail yard, who were armed with fire-arms, and but for the heroic conduct of these two poor fellows, who kept constantly firing on the blacks and wounding them, the vessel and the whole of their lives must have been inevitably lost. The captain hailed the crew on the foretop, who returned an answer, that all the hands were murdered except themselves, and that they in the boat had better keep off, or they would meet with the same fate. Captain Bannatyne, on hearing this in formation, decided upon not boarding her, but ordered the boat to row round the schooner, so as to see how many blacks were on board. On nearing the stern the natives instantly hurled into the boat several large pieces of timber, evidently for the purpose of either murdering those in the craft, or sinking her, whilst they one and all sto , “:1 round the bulwarks brandishing their tomahawks and axes, clearly showing that they were quite prepared to meet the captain and his party. The boat was ma noeuvred about, the captain now and then hailing the two men on the yard, from whom he learned that they were prepared with firearms. Captain Bannatyne instantly ad vised them to shoot on the natives, in the hope of forcing or frightening them from the vessel. A shot was fired, and was immediately followed by another, when the men on the yard informed the captain that two of the blacks were killed. They were advised to keep on firing, and after several more shots had been fired the schooner blew up with great violence. The natives either were thrown or jumped into the water. They had previously cut away the whale boat in order to gain the shore, their canoe having been rendered useless ; but their designs were frustrated owing to the violence of the concussion. The boat's crew strove to get hold of some of the wretches, but they acted in a very resolute and determined manner, and defended thomselve with their tomahawks, although in the water. The captain, seeing that the vessel was in flames, made all speed towards her, and on getting on board the flames after some time were providentially subdued. In the meantime Mr. M`Leod and one of the crew assisted in picking up a poor fellow (a seaman,) who was just expiring ; he was completely flayed from the effects of the explosion, and it is presumed that he must have been close to the powder magazine when it blew up, On a further examination, Finnie, the mate, was found in a dreadful condition ; his face was much swollen ; he bad a large cut down his left cheek, another across his head, and another a little above his eyebrows ; his shirt, face, and hands, were dripping with blood. Two blacks were also lying on the deck covered with gore. The steward was found with his head, arms, and thighs nearly severed from his body. It ap pears that he met his death by suddenly rushing upon deck, when be received a severe blow from a tomahawk on his head ; he then sought shelter in the bow of the schooner, where he was noticed by two of the savages, who dragged him forth from his hiding—place and brutally murdered him. A fine little boy, related to Captain Ban natyne, was most inhumanly sacrificed by the natives; he was placed on the hulworks, when a tomahawk was level led at his head inflicting a most terrific gash and throw ing him overboard ? and what renders this shocking tra gedy more painful is, that Captain Bannatyne saw the mangled corpse of his adopted child floating by the stern of the scooner, and was unable to pick it up. Almost as soon as the flames were extinguished, the surviving por tion of the crew slipped the cable and succeeded in getting the ship out to sea, where their sufferings increased to an almost unendurable extent, the wind subsequently increas ing to a severe gale, with heavy falls of rain, which lasted upwards of 48 hours. The first object was to ascertain whether the compass was damaged ; they found it to be almost destroyed, and buried in the ruins caused by the explosion. They however, managed to collect the pieces, and by sticking them together enabled them to steer a somewhat correct course. During the following night another of the crew died. After many days of horrible suffering a sail hove in sight, which proved to be the Nor whal, commanded by Captain Baker, from London, who, observing signals of distress flying at the schooner's mast head, bore down on her, and Captain Baker being inform ed of the dreadful calamity which had befallen the vessel, he ordered Dr. Monroe to their assistance. The explosion was occasioned by the firing of a cask of powder by Finnie, the mate, as the last resource. It is a most extraordi nary circumstance bow he escaped with his life. Since then we are happy to announce the safe arrival of the ship and survivors at Sydney. IRELAND. A " monster meeting" was held on Sunday week at Loughrea.

Mr. Bissit was a gentleman of the most engaging and unassuming manners, a native of Scotland, and was ac countant to the Provincial Bank of Ireland here, the duties of which office he discharged with integrity and ability, and his courteous and amiable disposition en deared him to a vast circle of acquaintance.—Galway Vindicator. PROGRESS OF THE ANTI-RENT WAR.—The following statement appears in the Carlow Sentinel of Saturday. On Sunday morning last, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, about 200 men and women, principally stran gers in the district, proceeded to the farm occupied by a man named John Harney, near Ballon, in this county and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats, before six o'clock. The party who were pro vided with horses and cars, bore off the crops towards Hacketstown, and have not since been heard of. This plan of evading the payment of rent, or of preventing a distress on the lands, is being generally adopted, and hitherto with complete success. It therefore remains to be seen, after this warning, how far the proprietors of land and the public authorities can co-operate to prevent its being carried into practical effect generally. The Sentinel, in the course of an article commenting on the prevalence of this new method of defeating the landlords, remarks— such occurrences would be only deserving of passing notice, but that they possess features in connexion with our pre sent social, policy which should not be overlooked. In the first place it will be observed that none but strangers, who cannot be identified, interfere ; and secondly they appear in such numbers, and at such an hour as to effect their designs without observation ; and lastly their move ments are so systematic, no clue whatever can be disco vered to lead to the recovery of the property. We have made every enquiry into the proceedings that took place near Ballon on Sunday last, and we cannot find that they originated in the tenants inability to pay his rent, but on the contrary, if we can believe his own oath, he had the land at a reasonable value and had considerable interest in the same. GOVERNMENT AND THE ORANGEMEN.—In point of fact, if the government be chargeable with any fault in regard to the Orange party, it is that in proving their de termination to be impartial, they have even denied to their loyal Protestant subjects in Ireland their just rights, so that a Romanist, or a latitudinarian Protestant, some So cinian or Arian Radical, would have a better prospect of success at Dublin Castle, than a staunch loyal adherent to the union, who was tainted with Orangeism. Tie testi mony of O'Connell may be taken as conclusive on this point, and it is well worth the while of our ministers to consider, whether there be not some danger with regard to their anti-Orange, anti-exclusive system, lest they act over again the part of " the candid friend," whose arbi tration Canning, in the Anti-Jacobin, long ago de nounced as " the most teasing and worst of ills." Cer tain it is, that in Lord Eliot the government have a most amiable, but, we fear, a most weak and inefficient Secre tary ; and were it not for the ability of Mr. Lucas, the public would long ago have discovered how inadequate Lord Eliot is for the difficult post he occupies. We be lieve that had his lordship lived in the days of the Anti- Jacobin, he might himself have been supposed to be the original of " the candid friend ;" and it is notorious, that such is his dread of appearing to favour Protestantism, that if an Orangeman happens to have been unjustly im prisoned, and if it is proved on the clearest evidence, that one sentenced for appearing in an Orange procession, was actually engaged in his lawful calling, and only swept away by the crowd, Lord Eliot would admit the hardship of the case, but fear to allow the mercy of the Crown to in terpose, lest it should be said that there was partiality to Protestants. SALE OF OULD IRELAND.—O'ConneII sold poor Paddy to the millers for 2,000 guineas ; and poor Paddy is now working in the mill there. Now we do not want to draw any political inference from these facts, and we will not say that O'Connell deserts his best friends when they can no longer be of any use to him ; but the following cruel announcement of a sale by auctio❑ of the best milch cow O'Connell ever had might extract tears from Joseph Hume himself ! Let our readers pull out their pocket handkerchiefs and read if they can without weeping : OULD IRELAND. To be sold by Auction, on Michaelmas Day. In Merrion-square, opposite thr house of DAN. O'CONNELL, The celebrated Irish Cow, called OULD IRELAND.'' She has been milked by the Liberator the whole season, and has given 1,300 quarts of milk per week on an average ; besides 7,0001b5. of butter to Maynooth College. and 70,000 lbs. of butter to the trustees, of the Agricultural Bank ; all of which can be attested on oath by Ray, cow boy to the Liberator, who had the care of her. Being quite dry, she must be sold without reserve, as she is totally useless to the Liberator, who, having a large, young, sucking family, must have milk for them. She would answer any gentleman in the habit of feeding for the stalls. She is perfectly quiet when coaxed, wheedled, and cajoled, but if treated harshly is inclined to be wicked. N.B.—She would have been entered at the late show at Belfast, but that the bloody Orangemen of Ulster would not admit her because there was no Saxon blood in her veins. September 13, 1843. BRIEF MEMOIR OF O'CONNELL.—DanieI O'Connell was born on the 6th of August, 1775, at Carhen, near Caherciveen in the barony of Iveragh, and county of Kerry—the very year in which British oppression forced the American people to seek for security in arms, and commenced that bloody struggle by which they established their national independence. His father was Mr. Mor gan O'Connell, of Carhen, who was married to Catha rine, daughter of Mr. John O'Mullane, of Whited church, in the county of Cork. His father's mother was of the family of O'Donouges (dhuv), or the black chiefs of their tribe. Mr. O'Connell was educated on the con tinent, partly at Louvain, partly at St. Omer, and partly at Douay. On his return to Britain he had to undergo the formality of studying his profession (the law) in England, for, to use his own words, " when he was pre pared to enter Trinity College, Trinity College was not prepared to receive him." Having swallowed the regular number of legs of mutton at the Middle Temple, he was duly admitted to the Irish bar, in Easter term, 1796. Mr. O'Connell married on the 3d of June, 1802, his relative Mary, daughter of Mr. Edward 0 Connell, M.D., of Tralee ; he succeeded his father in 1809, and in 1825, by the death of his uncle, Maurice O'Connell, succeeded in the family estate of Derrynane. The O'Connell fa mily are proverbial for living to a very old age. General Count O'Connell, Knight of the Cross of the Order of the Holy Ghost, and Colonel of the late 6th Regiment of the Irish Brigade in the British service, was uncle to the Liberator; he died on the 9th of July, 1833, at Meudon, near Blois, in France ; he was the youngest of 22 child ren by one marriage, of whom one half lived to the age of 99, at which age this venerable patriot died ; he was born in August, 1734, at Derrynane, the residence of his father, Mr. Daniel O'Connell.—Limerick Reporter. WALES. STATE OF SOUTH WALES On Saturday night week, about twelve o'clock a small party of men attacked Hendy Cate, on the road from Pon tardulais to Llanelly, and began to pull down the gate, and set fire to the toll-house. The gate-keeper, Sarah Wil liams, an old widow, seventy years of age, ran for safety to the house of a neighbour, but, unfortunately re turned a short time afterwards to secure some of her fur niture. Several shots had been heard previously by the neighbours ; but immediately on her return to the toll house a shot was heard, followed by a loud scream, and the poor woman rushed back, wounded in the face and neck, and fell at her neighbour's door. She was assisted into the house, but died immediately afterwards. Many speculations are afloat as to the cause of her death—some suppose her to have been wounded by accident. and others that she was deliberately shot for imprudently avowing her knowledge of the rioters. It is currently reported in the neighbourhood that immediately before she was shot a neighbour heard her say, " I know you ; you shall suffer for this to-morrow ;" but no evidence of this nature was offered on the inquest. Col. Trevor, Col. Love, and the officers of the staff were sleeping, at the time, at the house of Mr. Neville, a magistrate, within a mile of the toll house. The troops were at Llanelly, about five miles distant. The inquest was held at Pontardulais, before a jury consisting of freeholders and farmers. The jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict that " The de ceased died from the effusion of blood into the chest, which occasioned suffocation, but from what cause is un known." On Monday the three men taken at Pontardu lais on the morning of Thursday last, while engaged in the attack upon the gate and toll-house, were conveyed to Swansea, where a public examination of witnesses took place. The prisoners, whose na mes are J o h n H ug h es (the Rebecca), David Jones, and John Hugh, were placed at the prisoners' dock, and accommodated with seats. Jones, who appeared in a dying state on Thursday morn ing, seemed to have recovered. Hughes (the Rebecca) was pale and thoughtful ; while John Hugh, who stood before the court in the dress he had on at Pontardulais at the riot, seemed very apprehensive of the probable con sequences of his conduct. The following is a correct translation of the writing found in the prisoner Hughes' pocket by Mr. Cox :—" Daniei Jones, 13rynhir, come with your armour (or covering) to Lanbystia, to assist us, on Wednesday night next, or else you shall not have another (or further) notice. " B Ecc ." yarious witnesses were examined to prove the participa tion of the prisoners in the riot and the illegal proceed ings connected with it, after which the prisoners were remanded. On Sunday morning week the barns and outbuildings of Air. Chalmers near Llanelly were set fire to and com pletely destroyed.. The men who committed this diabol ical act were then seen to go across the country to another farm of the same gentleman and here three stacks of corn and one of hay were burnt. It is now ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the special commission for the trial of the Carmarthen Rebeccaites will take place early in next month. " Rebecca" last week compelled another farmer to take home an illegitimate child which he had neglected. This new assumption of judicial powers by Rebecca will not only make libertines more watchful in their conduct, but will, very probably, raise up an imperiusn in imperio in Rebecca's own camp against her supremacy. THE COURT. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. Tr ^enerally urn.i.::;;;.(ma in Brighton that her Ma jesty and Prince Albert would leave on Tuesday morning last for Ostend, the avenues to the palace and cliffs were crowded from an early hour, and the steam got up on board the roial yacht and the various war steamers in attendance. At half-past eight the gates of the Pavilion were thrown open for the royal cortege. The first carriage was drawn by four horses, and contained her Majesty, Prince Albert, Viscountess Canning, and the Hon. Miss Hamilton. In the other carriages were the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Charles Wellesley. and several of the royal suite. The royal party, on arriving opposite Penny's library, on the esplanade of the Chain Pier, alighted from the carriages, and proceeded to the head of the pier. The grenadier guards lined the head of the pier, and presented arms on the approach of her Majesty. The barge belong ing to the royal yacht, manned by twelve seamen in white, and steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, was at the bottom of the steps. The steps of the pier were covered with crimson cloth, and Sir Samuel Brown had the honour of assisting her Majesty into the barge. At ten minutes before nine her Majesty and Prince Albert and their at tendants had safely embarked on board the royal yacht, and about nine o'clock she got under weigh and proceed ed on her voyage, attended by the armed steamers, the Fearless, the Prometheus, the Tartarus, and the Cyclops, and the Warspite and the Euridice men-of-war. The scene at this time was most animated; the cliffs were crowded with company, and every window commanding a view occupied. The beach was also covered with thou sands of spectators, and the pier and various vessels gaily decked with colours, the guns firing from the men-of-war, the battery, and the Chain Pier. At three o'clock in the afternoon the royal yacht passed Dover in gallant style. The vessel passed about a mile off the shore. It was blowing a fresh breeze from the eastward at the time ; but such seemed the powers of the " Victoria and Albert," that even with this head wind she walked the waters with a rapidity that nothing could exceed, leaving the other vessels in the royal squadron far behind. At twenty-five minutes past three the yacht had arrived nearly off Walmer Castle. The Duke of Wel lington proceeded from the shore in a gig to visit her Ma jesty on board the royal yacht. It was expected that her Majesty would have landed, and honoured the Duke of Wellington by again visiting Walmer Castle; but his grace accepted an invitation to dice with her Majesty on board. The Duke remained about two hours on board, and afterwards returned on shore. Her Majesty remained on board the royal yacht during the night, and on the fol lowing morning at seven o'clock the squadron stood out for sea on their way to Ostend. On Wednesday, at half-past two o'clock, p.m., her Ma jesty and Prince Albert arrived safely at Ostend. As soon as the Royal yacht was descried in the Roads (which is rather earlier than had been expected) the King and Qucen of the Belgians drove down to the landing place to receive their illustrious visitors. As soon as the yacht came to quay-side, King Leopold and his Royal Consort went on board, when they were most affectionately received by her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Queen kissing her uncle and aunt several times. The Royal party then entered his Majesty's carriage, in which they all four drove off to the Palace. The Queen looked extremely well, Prince Albert a little pale, having probably suffered slightly from sea-sickness, the breeze a-head having been rather fresh in the evening. A grand banquet took place at the Hotel de Ville. King Leopold sat in the middle seat opposite the windows ; on his right hand was Queen Victoria, next to her the Queen of the Belgians, and next to her Prince Albert ; on the left hand of King Leopold was a lady who we be lieve was the Countess d'Aerschot, and next to her Lord Liverpool. The rest of the company were arranged ac cording to their ranks. King Leopold was dressed in plain clothes, but wore the riband of the Garter, as did also Lord Aberdeen. Prince Albert was in plain dress, and wore the riband and cross of the Bath. Several others of the company wore ribands, and most of them were in splendid uniforms, decorated with stars and orders. Queen Victoria, who looked remarkably well, was dressed in a white lace and muslin dress; she wore her hair in bands, ornamented with flowers and bound with a ferronier of brilliants. Her Majesty had on a brilliant necklace, and across her shoulder the blue riband of the Garter. The Queen of the Belgians was in a pale blue silk dress, with a stomacher of brilliants, and had on her head a dress bonnet of white lace with feathers. The ap pearance of the whole party, from the brilliancy of uni forms and stars, was magnificent. At nine coffee was served up, and about half an hour afterwards the royal party returned to the palace of the King of the Belgians. On Thursday the King of the Belgians visited the royal yacht, and in the afternoon, after the royal party had been present at a review of the troops at Ostend, another mag nificent banquet was given in the Hotel de Ville, and the r Majesties and Prince Albert then repaired to the opera. In the evening a brilliant illumination took place. Every demonstration of joy and respect were manifested at the opera. The entertainment consisted of the second act of Guillaume Tell, a one act vaudeville entitled 1' Heriliere, with (introduced between both) " Oh, Richard ! Oh, nion Roi," from Richard Oeur de Lion, and a song from Madame Laborde. On Saturday the royal party paid a visit to the ancient city of Ghent. The entry and the reception given them by the inhabitants, will long live in the recollections of the illustrious personages themselves, and in the memory of those who received them, and will be a matter for poste rity to moralize upon and admire. The royal party entered the city about twelve o'clock, from the railroad station, to which they were conveyed by a special train, amidst the noisy. but loyal and hearty con gratulations of thousands of voices. The streets, as at Bruges, were decorated with triumphal arches, flags, ban ners, devices, interminable lengths of coloured cotton, and white cotton cloth—the manufacture of the place, and branches of trees and young fits stuck in the pavement. The royal cortege, on leaving the railroad, proceeded through the principal streets, all of which were crowded with people, and at the windows of every house of which were to be seen heads innumerable of spectators, the cor poration of tne city and the various public societies, with their banners and ensigns, falling into rank, and a regi ment of cuirassiers and the band of the regiment of the guides also forming in the procession ; the cannon firing a salute of welcome, and the bells of the celebrated belfry, as well as those of all the churches in the city, pealing ing forth harmonious sounds. In the first of the royal carriages, of which, as far as we could judge from the im mense pressure of the mob, there were four, were her Majesty Queen Victoria, and, on her left hand, the Queen of the Belgians—both dressed in the same manner as when they entered Bruges ; and, on the opposite seat of the carriage were King Leopold, in a military uniform, and Prince Albert, in English regimentals. The cortege first stopped at the hotel of the provincial government, where their Majesties and the whole party alighted, and were conducted into the apartment prepared for their reception, and in which refreshments were pre pared with the proper ceremonial, and whence, after hav ing remained some time, they were driven to the celebrated Cathedral Church of St. Bavon. Their Majesties were received by the bishop and clergy of the cathedral, and surveyed the stately monuments and rare specimens of carving and sculpture. The cele brated font in which the Emperor Charles V. was christened is in the transept of this cathedaal. It was particularly pointed out to the observation of Queen Victoria, who admired it for some minutes. The candle sticks brought from the old palace at Whitehall, which are also here, attracted her Majesty's attention. They are very fine specimens of workmanship, and recall many historical recollections. From the Cathedral of St. Bavon the illustrious visitors went to the university, where they were received by the persons in authority there ; and, having examined every thing that was curious, proceeded to the " Beguinage," or convent of Beguin nuns, a very curious building. Here also the authorities of the place were in attendance, and everything that could make the reception such as it should be was attended to. It would not he an easy task to describe the Place d'Armes, as the Royal party were afterwards proceeding to the theatre, where a morning concert was prepared for their amusement. At this time, half-past three o'clock, a regiment of infantry was drawn up around the square ; squadrons of cavalry were employed to keep clear the avenues and approaches ; thousands of people on foot thronged the side pavements. At the windows and bal conies were crowds of elegant and beautiful women, both natives and foreigners. A string of carriages, some of them of very elegant construction, and such as would be no disgrace to Regent-street, and scores of hired equi pages, were conveying, in an endless line, those who had procured tickets for the theatre. The scene was as full of spirit as could be imagined, and was increased by the ringing of bells, end every now and then the shouts of the mob. At length the Royal corterge appeared at one end of the !square, preceded by a guard of cavalry, and defiled to wards the strect leading to the theatre. As the Queen of England and the Queen of the Belgians, and King Leo pold and Prince Albert passed, the acclamations in creased, and on their alighting at the theatre a universal shout rent the air. Their Majesties bowed and acknow ledged their gratification in the most affable and con descending manner. The reception in the theatre was a counterpart to what took place without. The air of " God save the Queen," was, as at Ostend, played by the musicians, the whole company standing. The Royal party, on leaving the theatre, went again to the Government-house, where their stay was but short. The Corte - ye then made for the station of the railroad in the same order in which it had left in the earlier part of the day, and their Majesties, Prince Albert. and their suite, &c., having entered th , carriages of the special train, took their departure for Ostend. _ _ This visit to the birthplace of the Emperor Charles V, and of " Time honoured Lancaster, great John of Gaunt," though it will not obliterate the memory of those worthies; will rank in the page of history as an event equally ho nourable, and of which it is to be hoped the results will be equally advantageous. It was reported in Paris that the question of the mar riage of Queen Isabel 11. had been settled at the Chateau d'En, between the governments of England and France, in favour of the son of the Infant don Francisco de Paula. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice will, we believe, take their departure from the Palace for Windsor Castle next Tuesday ; but, according to the present arrange ments, the Prince of Wales is to remain here, no time being fixed for his royal highness's departure.—Brighton Gazette. , 1 sePt• s 4 (rtti elimhetnnahspttseysos,trtthhaen 1,, . - VI P ' INCOMP P ' `'. ••- ti CL 641 CLARICAL 01175. -.... ...rin.•••••• -1 01 --- the soil 10 1 The following particulars relative to am so ,„/( Property and Income Tax, where incurn b . c ooll' curates are concerned, will, no doubt, b` 4 tel /afir e t e it From Property and Income Des re , n d se', of , and Licensed Curater.—Clause 6 0 ; •‘' ts ine( l ,4 o :„ Schedule (marked A,) shall be assessed se .ieer ae4, , 4 , the following rules : which rules shall betutbeis!ois five strued to be part of this set, and w fell er sill° ~;, as if the same had been inserted an i''' ment." tr.
