This, however, is the least part of the mischief that has been occasioned by the measure. Had the land-tax been completely redeemed, instead of partially—had the measure been compulsory, and of universal application—it would have left the field clear for the imposition of some more equitable tax. As it is, however, it furnishes a never-failing plea against imposing any further taxes upon land.

There are, lam bnnnv to sax_ stung, indicatinns of a spirit of energy and it gentry in various localities, employment against such a calamity." IRISH TENANTS.—Mr. John O'Connell has published a long letter to the Irish people, in which he says that • " seizure of crops and eviction of tenants are progressing with fearful rapidity at this moment in various parts of Ireland ;" and he exclaims "no mercy to the landlords if they don't show mercy to the people.' With regard to the'fact, in a general point of view it is esse The real state of things is this :—A wide conspiracy against the payment of rent exists in the provinces of Munster and Connaught, and in some of the counties of Leinster. The landlord, to whom long arrears of rent are due, and who is himself pressed with burdens newly heaped upon him, beholds the haggards of his tenantry crammed with wheat, oats, barley, and other produce of his land, while he is told there is no money for him. What ! is he not only justified, but in duty bound to attempt the enforcement of his just demands under such circumstances ? None can deny his right, or insinuate oppression against him. 'MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On the night of Monday, a hut, which was erected by a man of the name of Leahy, at Ballyverigan, about two miles from-Yougls al, and which contained six human beings, viz. :—a woman, wife to Leahy, her mother-in-law, and four children of the former, two of whom, with the mother, were in fever —took fire, and every soul of them perished in lheflames.

The whole affair gated by Mr. William Paton, justice of the Confined in irons ensued THE HOLY-CROSS DEMONSTRATION.—On Sunda3 week, a meeting of tenant farmers and about 4,000 in number, was held at Holycross, Tipperary. Resolutions were passed, establishing a tenant league, or an associa tion of tenant farmers, for the purpose of asserting and securing the rights and improving the condition of the occupying tenantry of the soil, and declaring " that any person now holding the actual possession of any portion -c ra this emintrv. shall he'deemed to have a per: manent possession of the same, during so long as he shall continue to pay such rent, as shall be fixed and determined by the adjudication of sworn arbitrator ituted and impartial ade on such principl ,fter be determined or other fairly of the Your ntry ne not to be vice to the y ads, leaving the and the govern- ment;;;;11:ci rates if they can: There is a good deal of difference between this and the professed object of the meeting, which was the extension to Tipperary of the tenant-right of Ulster.

AMIENS AND BOULOGNE RAILWAY: — An official letter was published in the Times of Saturday, from the secre tary of this company, relative to the meetings held in Liver pool and London. The secretary regrets that " false communications were made which passed uncontradicted," and states "that at the ordinary yearly general meeting, to be held next month, the directors will lay before the pro prietors an account of their affairs, and will feel happy to have it in their power, by a true and detailed statement of the position of the company, to restore among the sharehol ders that confidence which mayhave been shaken by the last interested misrepresentations made to them in England." EXPERIMENTS WITH THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. — Experiments have, it appears by the New York papers, been recently made with the electric telegraph, to deter mine the difference of longitude between New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. From these experiments two important conclusions have been deduced,—first, that by means of the magnetic telegraph, a clock in New York can be compared with another at a distance of 200 miles quite as accurately as two clocks can be compared in adjoining rooms ; secondly, that the time required for the electric fluid to travel from New York to Washington and back again, a distance of 450 miles, is so small a fraction of a second that it is inappreciable to the most practised observer. To this we may add, that Mr. Bain, of Edinburgh, the inventor of the electric clock, offered so to apply the principle to the clocks of that city and GI - - asgow, through the agency of the railway telegraph, as to give them motion from one and the same source, and thus to indicate precisely the same time at the same mo ment, though 46 miles distant. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—A return of the number and nature of the accidents which occurred on the various railways in the United Kingdom, from the Ist of January to the 30th of June, 1847, has been issued. It shows us, in brief, that of a grand total number of 23,119,412 pas sengers conveyed during the said half-year on railroads in England, Scotland, anreland, 101 were killed and 100 more or less injured, being at the rate of 1-2300th per cent. on both. Moreover, it appears, from a careful analysis of the returns, that of the 101 persons killed and 100 injured, there were 14 passengers killed and 48 wounded from other causes beyond their own control, 8 killed and 3 injured owing to their own folly or incauti ousness, 8 servants of companies killed and 17 injured from causes beyond their own control, 51 servants killed and 24 injured owing to want of caution or recklessness (such as leaping from engines or carriages in rapid motion, Id other similar acts of temerity), 19 trespassers killed injured, and 1 person killed and another injured CASTER AND PRESTON JUNCTIC RAILWAY special general meeting of this company was held at the station, at Lancaster, on Thursday last, for the purpose of declaring a dividend. The cluirman (Joseph Bushell, Esq.) stated, that during the half year they had received from the canal company, £6,650, being the half-year's rent of their line, and this sum, together with interest re ceived from the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, and other receipts, left a balance in_ hand of £8,290 10s. 7d. after payment of all expenses, which would produce a divi dend of about 15s. per share, on the old shares; 10s. per )n the three-quarter shares; and 4s. on the guar 'res. It was proposed that the dividends be de accordingly, when Mr. Kynaston moved amendment, that the dividends be 15s. 7d. or shares, 9s. sd. on the three-quarters, and 4s. 2d. on the quarters. The full amount of discount (Xl2 10s.) at which the three-quarter shares were issued, had been added to them in calculating the dividend, when only £l9 stock. A somewhat lengthy discussion took place on the subject, in the course of which the' chairman expressed himself favourable to Mr. Kynaston's views. The amend ment was ultimately lost, and a dividend of 15s. 10d. and 4s. declared. THE LIVERPOOL DEPUTATION AND THE RAILWA COMPANIES.—On Thursday a deputation, consisting o Mr. D. Neilson, Mr. S. Woods, Mr. Healey, and others, deputed by the Liverpool Stock Exchange, waited on the chairman and directors of the principal railway compa nies, in accordance with the wishes of the entire members of the Liverpool Stock Exchange, to take into considera tion the present state of railway property, and to adopt such measures as might be deemed advisable. The de putation first had an interview with Mr. Geo. Carr Glyn, M.P., the chairman, and the directors of the North- Western Railway, and Mr. Hudson, who met them at the Euston Station.

Amongst those gentlemen were several of the class known in Eng- land (but unknown in. Ireland) as Literates- who have not received a university education ; some who had studied in colleges not qualified to confer degrees ; and no less than seventeen graduates of the Dublin Uni versity—about one-fourth of the whole number, The re mainder were gentlemen who had taken their degrees at either Oxford or Cambridge. On the same day, the Bishop of Salisbury conferred orders upon about twenty gentlemen more, making, on the whole, very nearly a hundred ordinations. The latter were chiefly students of one or other of the English universities. There thus ap pears to be a very great demand for labourers in the Eng lish vineyard —a demand which her own universities are unable to supply. But, whilst this is the case—and while the Church in England is thus fain- to recruit her clergy out of a class which has not had the advantage of the training of a university—the Lord Bishop of London, acting upon a caprice, or influenced by a prejudice has not the slightest reasonable foundation, refs merely to ordiln, but —even when ordained by his he sacre )y a most ,nd extensive education in a university second to none in the empire for the excellence of its general curriculum of studies, and, in particular, for the course of divinity learning required of the students seeking to be qualified for the church.
