Vottrp. A CHAPTER ON PINS. ( From the Manchester Guardian.) "Man's form'd so weak, s o little, and so blind," His semblance Franklin did in paper find. But " weaker, blinder, and still less" he's seen, When proved to bear resemblance to a pin. My cushion, with a fair one bath thought fit To fill with pins, acute as her own wit, Presents unto my vision-seeing eye A curious picture of man's destiny. In early youth, ere we have learo'd to roam, We sacklike pins wi!hin our cushion'd home; 'fill woman fair exerts her magic skill, To draw us rme,- end bendus to her will. Ah! then emerging from the social row, We soon begin our weakly points to show; • Our polished forms we awkwardly display, And think by sharpness we shall win our way : But from the circle of our kindred snatch'd, To different habits we became attach'd; Some are ambitious, and contrive to get A snug appointment in the cabinet, While others lift not up their heads so high, Content to hold some badge of dignity; "Scarfs, garters, ribbons," some with pride sustain, As pages some hold up the regal train, Some, more refined, will . fix upon the gown (Albeit their brightest parts are seldom shown;) So bent are others on this vain array, That though the haughty fling them aft away, Then still tenacious cling unto the great, Or fasten on the skirts of royal state. Yet few amid the parasitic throng Can boast of sticking - in their places long; A breach once made, then ties are rent in twain, They soon fall out, and seldom rise again. S.) bow' d by fate, they never find a dress To show their points, and lead them to success, Yet some there are of fir'm and headstrong ways, Their point will carry, spite of slips and stays, Their penetration serves them at a pinch, And though the thin-skion'd start-4hey never flinch ; While many, taking a more tender pal t, Are quickly moved when others feel a smart. Some are so blunt, they nothing can perceive, But "pin their faith upon another's sleeve ;" While others trust so much to their own heads, That they will bend not if another leads; Yea some have heads so loose, and so unsound, The hand that guides them they will basely wound. How many fail in making both ends meet! Who, being poor , are trampled under feet ; Forget "a pin a day's a groat a year, " And oft are lost for want of thrift and care: A set of minikins despised and low, Who in the race for ever move too slow, Or darting forward with too blind a haste, They let their spare acuteness run to waste:* The steady foremost in the ranks we find, Those in a bustle always stick behind. Now let us view men in domestic state, To pins they still display resemblance great : Like them ao all attachments prove but weak, Without some binding tie not apt to break. To bosons friends, the fair (with all their pride) A trust most delicate may safe confide; For they indeed are void of upright worth, Who, wanting closeness,—let their secrets forth. But though it is a just and noble end, From chill and insult, woman to defend, Still there's a task more binding—yea, more glad, In giving aid to corer the unclad; To close the breach time's rending fang doth make, Nor "tatter'd clothes" let " poverty bespeak." These holy objects, then, 0 man ! secure! So shalt thou gain the 'vestments that endure, And to amend the lapses of thy kind, Oh ! let each point be stretched, each head inclined! * Query, waist?—Printer's CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE BIRTH OF THE COUNT OF PARIS. ( From the Morning Herald.) The Ilioniteur of Sunday dwells, as a matter o course, upon the theme which is afforded to it by the birth of the Count of Paris. A medical bulletin, signed by the three principal physicians, and dated from nine to five o'clock on Saturday, attests that the alarming symptoms which had manifested themselves immediately after the accouchenient of the duchess had entirely disappeared during the night, and that her royal highness and her infant were in a satisfactory condition. On Saturday, during the time that the King and the royal family were at the apartments of the Duchess of Orleans, the grand deputation from the municipality of Paris (headed by the prefect of the Seine) arrived at the Chateau to offer the con gratulations of that body to the King on the'birth of the future heir to the throne. Louis Philip immedi ately gave orders for the admission of the deputation into the apartment where he was, in which also the cradle of the young prince was placed, surrounded by the members of the royal family, the ministers, and the grand officers of the kingdom. The prefect, then, in the name of the municipality, pronounced a set speech, congratulating Louis Philip on the advent of the new pledge of stability to his throne, and to ,the institutions of the country. After thanking the King for his condescension in having announced the event by a letter in his own hand to the municipality, the orator proceeded to say, that as soon as his gracious communication had been received, the council had met at the Hotel de Ville, and had voted a sum for defray ing the expense of public rejoicings, and also for pur chasing a sword to present to the Count of Paris.— "This sword," says the prefect, " is not intended by the city of Paris to recall the memory of the swords of Napoleon or Charlemagne. To spirit of conquest has succeeded that of liberty and order, which your reign has caused to be loved and esteemed. Permit me to say, sire, that the sword which we present to your grandson is similar to that of Louis Philip, namely, a sword that will not be drawn but in defence of the territory and institutions of France; a sword which is in the hands of a prince who knows at once how to render himself respected in Europe, and to consolidate in France the reign of liberty and the laws." Let us put aside for a moment the King's re ply to this bombastic and servile flattery. and examine in these lines the real gist of the prefect's assertion in the above sentence. He asserts that Louis Philip has never drawn his sword save in the defence of his French territory. Strange enough, in the National of Sunday we find a complaint, that France is at this very moment on the eve of a war with three powers, which, though weak, are still not contemptible, and a war too arising out of no aggressions on the part either of Switzerland, Mexico, or Buenos Ayres; but, on the contrary, as is admitted by the republican wri ter, entirely originating in the monstrous pretensions of the French government. But, even supposing that this is a strained point, and that, although appearances are threatening, no actual hostilities have hitherto oc curred, either in America or Switzerland, to justify the assertion that Louis Philip's sword has left the scab bard, what will the municipality of Paris say to the assault and capture of Constantine, and the wholesale slaughter of the Arabs, together with the 'subsequent retention of their city and territory ? Will it be pre tended by this peace loving body of citizens that the sword of France was drawn in this instance in defence of the territory of that kingdom? Must it not rather be admitted that in this, as well as in the whole of its African policy, the French government has shown itself a grasping and pitiless ravager, eager to acquire and slow to do justice even to the provinces which fell within its grasp ? Let, therefore, the city of Paris ex haust the language of flattery and of servility in its professions of loyalty and attachment to Louis Philip; that it is not our province to criticise ; but do not let it be supposed that such assertions as are contained in the address to which we have referred can be passed over unnoticed, and tacitly agreed to by those whose duty it is to mark the progress of events on the con tinent. Rather let them join in one great and conti nued protest against the indolence and apathy of those states, and particularly of Great Britain, which have suffered the unprincipled and unsatiable thirst for fo reign conquest, which has always characterised the French nation, to make such powerful and rapid strides as it has of late. The Journal de Paris reports an amiable trait of the Duchess of Orleans at her interview with the French King after her delivery. It is stated that when Louis Philip stooped to embrace her she clasped her arms round him and implored him to complete the amnesty of May, 1837, by permitting those who were exiles from their country, in consequence of their po litical opinions and acts, to return once more to France. We, of course, cannot tell how far this statement is to be relied on ; but, at all events, it is very ingeniously calculated to produce a good effect, even if not exactly true, as humanity is always a popu lar attribute, and the refusal to listen to such a request, Preferred at such a moment, would be considered as not very creditable to the royal heart. The Moniteur contains a long list of promotions in the French army, the ordonnance for which bears date the 24th of August, to accord with the birth of the Count of Path. A Te Deum is to be sung at the Cathedral of Notre Dame on Tuesday next. The necessity under which the King of the French ma y - be supposed to be, of at tending this ceremony, has, according to our corres pondence from Paris, thrown the whole court into a dilemma, but we understand the danger will be braved. Our readers are aware that the cathedral is in the very centre of Paris. __dim_ THE PRECURSORY IZ TOURISTS.—THE 'S TOR. MAR (From the Dublin Evening Our Marquizzical precu rsor is p o do ressing g towards the west-south-west in all the dignity of neglect. No body but the priests,and rabbl e a pp ear to pay him the slightest mark of respect; and if a Protestant gen tleman occasionally gives him a bed and the run of the kitchen, it is only under circumstances where the want of hotels or other places of accommodation redeems the fact from inconsistency in poli.ics by the tender attributes of charity. By the time his excellency has reached the residence of Baron Richards, we calculate on his finding out the secret that no gentleman in Ire land, save the adherents of his own faction, would wil lingly extend to the deputy of Mr. O'Connell the hos pitality to which any other of his lordship's rank and private qualities would be otherwise entitled. Of a progress so obscure it were useless to preserve the memoranda. Addresses and answers we believe there have been; but from the insignificance of th'e parttes, few or no particulars dwell on our minds. We refer to the Castle newspapers for information. Here we_ find that his exce ll enc y h as had an address from a Vacs with the unknown but ominous name of Kill- O'Cottiall—wor some such thing; and on turning to t our excerpta for the answer, we take up one, which; from the pointed and appropriate slap at the rival pre• cursor, we suppose to be the right one. " Much does, indeed," says his excellency, with an obvious allusion to the " Hereditary Bondsmen," &c. "Much does, indeed, at this moment depend upon your selves—for, whilst it is the undoubted privilege of freemen to petition the throne and the parliament for any legitimate ob ject, it is by an avoidance of any unseemly change in the —any untimely alteration in the nature of your demands—it is by a steady perseverance in the course you have hitherto pur sued that the Royal favour may best be confirmed—public sympathy it Great Britain actively developed, and, as a ne cessary consequence of the last, that legislative recognition of the principle of equal rights obtained ou which all just ex pectations for the future may be founded, and, by general concurrence, a perfect union be thus established on an im perishable basis;' But we must attend the Master Viceroy on his southern progress. MR. O'CONNELL'S TOUR. MOUNT MELLERAY, LISMORE, AND CORK. A southern correspondent informs us of Mr. O'Con nell's recent arrival at Mount Melleray, and of the au sterities imposed upon him by the silent brethren of La Trappe. The penance on the honourable penitent is particularly severe. His meals were restricted to a single turkey pout, with the et ceteras—he wore a haircloth shirt—over his waistcoat—lashed his brawny shoulders, much after the manner of Sancho Panza, to the hideous disembarcation of several lusty oaks, and walked upon his bare knees several times a day upon the cushions and mats provided for that purpose in the oratory. Thousands of the peasantry assembled to see his method of digging a grave for himself, and swore they had got a lesson on Whiteboyisrn which they would not forget during the next parson-shooting sea son. Everybody admired the "death's head and cross bones" which he erected as the model for such imple ments at the next general election. It is currently believed, by the credulous, that the honourable peni tent has intimated to the monks his probable intention of ending his days within their holy precincts, and as a member of their order—but not until he shall have. witnessed the regeneration of his country, and spoken out all he had to say in this world—namely, his last words and dying speech. From Mount Melleray the honourable gentleman proceeded on Saturday, in company with Mr. Viiliar. Stuart', to LismOre, where, perfoot keeping with his religious practices, he delivered a most inflammatory harangue on the established church and the repeal of the union ; and we next find him in Cork (on the Monday following) making up for his lenten enter tainment at the Monastery, on a half-boiled turbot and some whisky punch, and delivered, by way of grace, a refacciamento of all his former sedition. There is nothing in his speech on this occasion so differing from the usual tenor of his harangues as to require particu lar comment, except the compliment he has paid to the land proprietors and his treatment of the non consump tion club. The latter he altogether burked, and of the former he says:— " He had shifted Whiteboyism from rags and friezes to Whiteboyism in broad cloth. He promised thcm that from Moor Park to Bantry they would no longer see Peep o'-day- Boys, but in the full noon tide of the sun would be coming forward tneetings—influential meetings to prove that rent charge meant tithes, and that abolition was the remedy for both one and the other." THE FAKIRS. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Referring to the shocking details of the inquest on the infant Tonctie, in our last, we cannot refrain from making a remark or two on the genius of those institutions, the mem bers of which, while they abjure the society of females, claim, in a peculiar manner, the education and even nurture of children. If monks were hermits, or recluses, in the strict sense of the word, they would be comparatively a harmless race of fanatics—a better sort of Fakirs. Man kind might afford to bestow their meat and clothing on them, and when that was done, they would have little else than pity to add to satisfy ail the claims that superstition can reasonable set up against too tolerant benevolence. But, when the Fakir steps forth from his den—when the monk quits his retirement, and carries the foul air of the cloister into the schoolroom and nursery—when the very cradle of innocent infancy is invaded by the harsh hands of ascetics, glorying in an unnatural exemption from all parental feel ing—when fellows fit only to stand on one leg under a shed, and let their nails grow through the palms of their hands, assume the functions of females, dabbling in wash-tubs, and among baby-linens—and well had it been for the world, if their unnatural perversion of mind and body (viros etiam muliebria pati ) had stopped there--when, in a word, Jesuits play the parts of privy councillors, and barefoot Carmelites of dry-nurses, it is high time to hunt the Fakirs back to their cells, if not to shut up the cells themselves, and send their fanatical inmates to join their brother Dervishes in a more congenial clime. How many of these Carmelites have we here in Dublin? There is a dozen of them at Black rock; five and thirty at Clondalkin, and at their head quarters in Aungier-street and Clareudon-street here in the city, we know not bow many—perhaps as many more; for the returns furnished to the - Clerk of the Peace, in compliance with the prOvisions of the Relief Bill, cannot be depended on, as showing their entire number. They are above complying with an "act, which requires free born British subjects to submit to this mode of registering their names and professions in any office whatsoever;" they deem it "in every respect penal, and an infringement on the liberty and privilege of the subject, and trust that a more enlightened Senate will erase it, in common with every remnant of the penal code from the statute book."—(Protest of Brother P. J. LEONARD, Cork, September 15, 1829.) We know of several monks at this moment residing in Dub lin, whose names are not entered with the Clerk of the Peace, and we make no doubt that the return ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on the 22d March, 1836, does not ' contain more than one-half the names of the societies and other members of the church of Rome at present re sident in these countries. In fact, there have been little more than half a dozen registrations since the years 1829 and 1830, while the real increase of the fakirs has been notoriously not only by the dozen but by the hundred. Whenever a country has been overrun by vermin of this description, industry has languished, and liberty gives up the ghost. Their tyranny, their baseness, their beastly perver sion of every natural passion and sentiment have, from time to time, become so intolerable, that there is scarce a country of Europe out of which they have not been successfully ejezted as a pestilential curse. They have been allowed to settle here out of mere motives of humanity. Let them keep to their cells, and we pity them and pass them by ; but when they thrust themselves into the schools and nurseries—tuck ing up their sleeves for offices unnatural to men, they need neither wonder nor complain, if we argue from whathas been to what may be, and begin iu time to put the public on their guard against attempts at the revival of such a monastic sys tem as caused the expulsion of religious orders out of these countries once already, and will probably cause it again. THE RELATION OF ATHEISM TO A FUTURE STATE OF BEING. BY JAMES STEELS.. ( From the Scottish Christian Herald ) Moral writers, in describing the appalling consequences of atheism, enumerate, among others, a total oblivion of all the fears and hopes of a world beyond the grave. They tell us that the fool who says in his heart "there A no God," in the same spirit of absurd impiety says also there is no here after —nought after death but "the dark, unbroken sleep of nothingness." But let us, in dealing with the atheist, ever bear in mind that the two points admit of being argued on different grounds. Independently altogether of the existence of a Supreme Being, we might argue for a future state on the principle of a mere continued existence. Discarding the idea of an infinite series of men, let us sup pose a point in remote antiquity, in which one man was created. This being, whether the creation of chance, fate, a fortuitous concussion of atoms, or whatever the atheist sub stitutes for a Supreme intelligent mind, might have started into existence with the intellect of a Newton. In this there is nothing incredible, even if the hypothesis of the atheist be admitted; for surely the power, whatever it be, which created a mind capable of producing the Principia, might have conferred at once that vigour of intellect which was the growth of years. This man, on surveying but his solitary self, but the one unpeopled planet on which he stood, would, by a rapid act of thought, land in the inference that that which created him could create other beings, that that which had given existence to one planet could have given existence to others. He would not infer that creative energy had ex ' hausted itself in him, and the place of his abode. Nor might this be all. On contemplating life, and if made aware, by any means, of its cessation at death, he would not fail to perceive that if there at first existed an energy sufficient to have called him into existence from nothing, that same energy' could raise him from the dust, and make him to be again all that he was before. All this the atheist could not deny. He may speak of the improbability of future being, but its possibility he must ad mit. His own existence does away with all difficulty in the case. Hii own reason must suggest that there is in this ground for tormenting anxiety. The very uncertainty of the case generates doubts of the most harassing description. The very fact that be may live for ever is sufficient to give a sting to every pleasure. The hand-writing upon the wall is that dread word—Eternity. He must, if he thinks at all, come to this awful conclusion—the same power, however blind and unintelligent, which placed me here, may transpose me elsewhere : it may perpetuate all the pains I feel, increase their number, and augment their intensity, and all this where no wisdom rules, where no mercy pities, where "chaos um pire sits," where all his hopeless woe and irremediable con fusion. It may be that my future destination may be a happy one, but who can assure me that it will not equal in misery all the felicity which is fabled of the heaven of the New Tes tament ? And such is atheism. The man who, insensible to the multitudinous proofs of the divine existence and attributes which meet him on every band, which press upon all his senses, which occupy in their succession every moment of his existence, can yet afford to deny his Creator, must, if he thinks at all upon hisfuture destiny, contemplate but a chaos of disorder. Under the influence of that moral disease which he has suffered to obtain the mastery in his spirit, he can see no truth in religion. no God, no mercy, no life and immor tality. Without believing in a place of punishment , he realises, in his moments of most sober reflection, the essen tial evils of that place which, separated from the Divine pre sence, contains the fire which never shall be quenched, "the worm that will not sleep and cannot die."

A poor fellow who took some part in the election, declared that such was the interest he felt, ►hat if Baring lost the election he would hang himself. The poll closed at four, and he had effectually hung himself, and was cut down before five o'clock.—Noricich Mercury. Elizabeth Struggles , r ni t y e s„ years, a ge d a B u l d .

THE GAZETTE—STATE OF THE COUNTEY. The Globe of Saturday, in commenting upon the reception given by the Priests to our Marquizzical brother editor in his Precursory rambles, thus delivers himself:— " This is a well-merited compliment; but the part of the address which will give most satisfaction here is that which follows, demonstrating as it does the improved condition of the country. and giving the best proof of the advantaL!es which have resulted from the administration of the noble Marquis : " • Short as has been'the period of your Excellency's ad ministration, outrages against person or property have nearly ceased, and those frightful combinations and societies sub versive of social order have totally vanished from amongst us. The laws are respected and obeyed, and peace has re sumed her mild sway over the land. 're your Excellency's prudent, impartial, and conciliating policy, are those happy changes with justice to be ascribed.' " The Ministerial Globe, by its adoption of the foregoing passage from the address presented to the Lord Lieutenant on his passage through Mullingar, by-the Titular and Priests of the diocese, admits its importance, and justifies our design of prefixing it as a perpetual motto to our articles on the State of the Country. In our last we endeavoured to sustain the prelatic and priestly verity of the Church of Rome, by the adduction, from a single number of the " Public flue-and-Cry"— (being its latest publication, and dated but a few days before the delivery of the address) —of such instances of Irish tran quillity as such a document usually affords. The summary is so complimentary to his Excellency's government, and so corroborative of their Reverences' truth, that in justice to both we cannot withhold a repetition of it here : ( From the Public Hue-and-Cry, dated Aug. 11, 1838.) Cases of crime announced • 97 1. Abduction 2; Attempt to assassivate 3. Assaults on dwelling-house 4. Arson 5. Burglary . 6. Destruction of cattle 7. Murderous assault on the person '24 8. Murder 17 9. Party procession 10. Robbery in dweiling.house 11. Robbery of cattle . . 12. Robbery of fire-arms 13. Rape 14. Threatening notices We added, on the same occasion, the announcements from the provincial journals, of attempts to assassinate five gen tlemen; and certain other doings of the mobility equally demonstrative of the "cessation of outrages against tt,a person or nrcrierty, the uvautsnment of those fright ful combinations and societies so subversive of social order, which have resulted from the prudent, impartial, and conci liating policy" of our excellent Chief Governor—lreland's only Marquiz. We have to follow up this laudatory course to-day, by adducing from the last Gazette one case of " barbarous mur der," . fully perpetrated; and one of an attempt at ditto— well intended—but frustrate. From the provincial journals received this morning, wetlikewise extract the corresponding evidence of two or three MURDERS, divers outrages on houses and property by armed parties, sundry desperate assaults upon the person, and some of the fruits of the ribbon conspiracy. Nobody, we presume to say, can read the extracts which we subjoin without admitting, in the words of the Mullingar titular and priests so highly appreciated by the Globe—that "to his Excellency's prudent, impartial, and conciliating policy this happy state of things is with justice to be as cribed :" (From the Dublin Gazette of Friday.) " DurniN CASTLE, AUG. 22.—Whereas it has been repre sented to the Lord Lieutenant, that on the night of Saturday, the 18th instant, about the hour of half-past ten o'clock, some person fired a shot through a window into the dwelling-house of Robert Uniacke, Esq. J.P., of Woodhouse, parish and townland of Stradbally, in the county of Waterford. " His Excellency, for the better apprehending and bring ing to justice the perpetrator of this outrage, is pleased hereby to offer a reward of fifty pounds." "AUG. 23.—Whereas it has been represented to the Lord Lieutenant, that about the hour of eleven o'clock on the night of the 15th instant, a man named Edward Polen, of Hawkswood, parish of Geashill, in the King's County, was waylaid and barbourously murdered in a lane branching from the main road which leads from Tullamore to Killeagh, in the townland of Derryclute. " His Excellency, for the better apprehending and bring ing to justice the perpetrators of this murder, is pleased hereby to offer a reward of fifty pounds and a free pardon. " By his Excellency's command, "T. DRUMMOND." QUEEN'S COUNTY. FRIGHTFUL MURDER IN STRAUBALLY, AND ANOTHER MAN DESPAIRED OF.—Crime is again appearing, with some features of malignity, in the Queen's County. One murder was committed in Stradbally on Thursday last, and there are strong suspicions of a seconil; a third titan also is in a hope less state, from the effects of a beating. The details are as follow:—A large body of people met in Stradbally on Thurs day last for the purpose of cockfighting; but their projected sport having been prohibited by the authorities, the fellows retired in the evening to the public-houses in the town, where several encounters took place, in one of which a man named Casey, got such a frightful beating, his skull having been fractured, that his life is despaired of. But the murder was committed under more cool and deliberate circumstances. Two ruffians coming out of a public-house, met a man named Salmon at the door of another, whom, without any provoca tion. they instantly attacked. One of the fellows struck him with his they and the other, it is thought, with a tongs. When down the same fellows continued to strike him with the same weapon. until all signs of life had disappeared. The unfor tunate man's jaw bone was broken, and he was otherwise dreadfully mangled. One of the causes assigned for the mur der of Salmon, who was an inoffensive person, is having . lived with, and been the tenant of Mr. Luttrell, a respecta ble Protestant farmer. Strong suspicious of another mur der are entertained, as a great quantity of blood has been traced up a lane leading to the fields; and as no person could lose so much and proceed so far, it is thought that•the person, whoever it was, must have been murdered and then dragged up the lane by his murderers. The police have ar rested over twenty persons, several of whom were since libe rated, but summoned to give evidence. It is thought, how ever, that the principals are in custody. At about two o'clock yesterday, a prisoner was brought in from the Heath charged with Salmon's murder. It is a curious circumstance, that tour of the persons who are apprehended for the attack on both men, are in almost every particular dressed alike. An inquest was to have been held yesterday evening. OUTRAGEs.—On the fair night of Borris-in-Ossory, a band ' of ruffians broke into the dwelling-house of John Claxton, situate at the cross roads of Kyle. and into which a poor man had fled for refuge. The fellows smashed the furniture, and did other damage to the house, while i❑ search of their vic tim, whom they at length discovered under a bed, and, hav ing dragged him out, heat in a most brutal manner. Same evening, Mr. William Leonard, innkeeper in Burris-in-Os sory, was standing at his own door, conversing with some of the constabulary, when a stone was thrown at him by one of the crowd. Fortunately, however, it did not strike him; but was thrown with such, violence that it stuck in the panel of the door behind him. The ruffian, we are sorry to say, es caped. On Sunday night last, between the honts of one and two o'clock, the windows of an inoffensive widow, named Elizabeth Whitehead, a Protestant, residing in Borris-in- Ossory, were Maliciously broken, within a few yards of the police barracks. The poor woman had fourteen panes of glass and two sashes smashed. Same night, the whitlows of Thomas Gouger, another Protestant, the widow Kelly, and a man named John Lundy, were also broken. Indeed the neighbourhood seems latterly to be growing very disturbed. Informations were sworn before Thomas Mosse, Esq., at Rathdowney, on Friday last, against William Dwyer, a no torious character in that quarter, when he gave bail to stand his trial at the next quarter sessions. There are several others connected, we believe, with the foregoing outrages, who will be brought before the magistrates at Rathdowney ou Saturday next.—Leinster Express. COUNTY TIPPERARY. THE "EXCELLENT POP-ULATION."—On the night of Sun day, the 19th instant, eight or nine men, three of whom were armed with a gun and two pistols, visited the houses of six men who were by occupation mowers, three of whom live on part of the lands of Cloughleighe, within about. two miles of the village of Golden. They broke open the doors, fired se veral shots into the houses, then proceeded to drig out the owners, placed them on their knees, and swore them sever ally not to work for any gentlemen less than three shillings and their diet. They assaulted one of the men severely, who had made some resistance. So much for the tranquillity of the county of Tipperary.—Tipperary Constitution. MURDER.—An attempt (a successful one we fear) was made to murder .a bailiff, named John Kenna, of this town, in the neighbourhood of Moneygall, on that Thursday. It is probable, and the physician is of our opinion, that the unfor tunate man will be no more by the time this paragraph reaches our readers, for there are three fi actures in his head ; his face is so disfigured that the features are scarcely discernible, and his whole body is one mass of mutilated tiesh. This John Kenna got some lattitats, from a professional gentlemen in this town, to serve on two men named Egan (father and son) in the neighbourhood of Moneygall. As he was passing through Toomavara he called ou another bailiff, a namesake of his, to accompany him. When they reached the load be gond Moneygall, (the Toomavara bailiff) went into a cabin to light his pipe; and when he came out, after some short de lay, he saw at a little distance four ' men climbing over the ditch, and stooping . as if to escape observation, whets he came up the road he found John Kenna lying in the ditch, welter ing in his blood, all mutilated and speechless. The unfortu nate victim has a wife and four small children. We question if the Calihan, of the political Tempest, himself, would es cape assassination in this_couuty, as famed as it is for tran quillity. Since the above was put in type we have been in formed, that Tim Kenna, the Toomavara bailiff, has been rested on suspicion of being in some manner implicated in the foregoing melancholy affair. MALICIOUS LEVELLING.-111 the parish of Templebeg, about two hundred yards of newly-raised fence, which sur rounded that and part of the common of Knockolough. awarded to John and James Landers, have been maliciously levelled by some persons unknown. This outrage is sup, posed to have been perpetrated for the purpose of compelling the Landers to let out the enclosed land to the neighbouring cottagers, at their own valuation. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.—MichaeI Ryan, of Knockenva voola, had his skull very seriously frictured in the "remark ably peaceable" parish of Glankeen. He has three fractures from one blow, and withal, he denies that he knows who struck him, for the purpose, of course, of evading prosecution. It is said that Ryan, after being beaten, accused one Pat Quigly with having assaulted him with the intent of murder, as the hired assassin of Pat Ryan, of Communbeg, and of William Ryan, of Glanbeg, both brothers, and inveterate and sworn enemies of his. The probability is this, that Michael Rvan prefers taking a bloody and brutal revenge of his namesakes., by returning them what in faction parlance is termed the coor, that is, wild and retributive vengeance. ASSAULT.—In the neighbourhood of Thurles, a few nights ago, Thomas Lowry was waylaid , most unmercifull y beaten, and had his skull fractured by a blow of a stone, as he was on his way home to Clondetty. A miscreant, named Patrick Bourke, has been arrested, and the dying man has identified him.—Neliogh Guardian. COUNTY LOUTH. RIBBONISM IN DROGHEDA. — On Sunday evening last, as an inoffensive young man, named Reilly, was returning from a funeral towards town, about live o'clock in the evening, he received several severe blows from a ruffian of the name of M'Veagh, near Laurence's-gate, who, we understand, is designated " The Captain," because, forsooth, unfortunate Reilly had not been competent to answer the query on the sign given. Reilly states that the bludgeon with which he had been assaulted was a short thick one, with a large knob on the end of it, and which his assailant bad concealed under his coat; several persons had been standing a short distance up in Morgan's-lane, and never gave the least a e co ssismtancng" e; hut no sooner had the magic s ound of 'the police ari been cried out by one of the brethren, than the cowardly rriscreants took to their heels, and we have little doubt in stating, that had not the constables been descried approach ing at the time, in all human probability another victim would have been offered on the altar of Popery and Eibbon ism.—Drogiteda Con. COUNTY TYRONE. DARING OUTRAGE.—As a respectable young man, of a most exemplary character, was passing through the Diamond, Omagh, a few evenings since, he was maliciously assaulted by two dastardly ruffians of the holy mother church, who at tempted to beat him. When the row was raised, a very pious and respectable inhabitant came to his assistance, to whom they gave a violent blow, but we hope it will not be attended with any serious consequence. One of the ruffians has since left the neighbourhood. We hope the authorities will not let such persons escape with impunity.—Derry Sen tinel. MRS. NORTON AND REV IE THE BRITISH & FOREIGN W. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN REVIEW. Sir,—l have just read, with some astonishment, a very long, very coarse, and very violent attack upon me in the British and Foreign Quarterly, apropos of the discussioni of the infants' custody bill, the introduction of my name being prefaced by the following flourish .—" Now that we have here followed the plan of those base inuendo-making das lards who dare make insinuations against persons which they dare not afterwards substantiate, but had every reason to believe they were false at the time they made them, we are certain that the readers of the British. and Foreign Review will not for an instant suppose. We abhor all such con duct." How far such conduct may be abhorred I know not, but this is precisely what has beets done in the article re ferred to. In asserting in your title-Rage that I am the authoress of a Statement of the Wrongs of Women, you have printed and published a direct falsehood. Your " wish" may have been " father to the thought" that I was the author. but I am not. I did not write it; I have never even read it; nor knew of its existence till I saw it named in your review. In asserting that I have, as a " renowned agitatrice," cir culated a work on sexual equality," you have printed and published another falsehood. Nothing I have ever written, nothing I have ever said, will bear out the assertion that such are my sentiments; on the contray, in my novel of The Wife you will find precisely the contrary argument, with your. favourite Milton quoted in support of it. I believe the beauty and devotion of a woman's character mainly to depend on the consciousness of her inferiority to man, and that the greatest suffering a rig-ht-minded and pure-hearted woman can feel is the being una ble to res p ect and look up to her husband. Had you read the pamphlet on the mother's claim. from which so many twisted and misquoted fragments are taken, you would have found in it no violence, although so much violence has been lavished upon me, nothing that militated against the religious duty a woman owes her hus band, or the inferiority of the position she is intended to occupy; not a line that the purest woman that ever writhed under unmerited slander need have been ashamed of writing. In asserting that that pamphlet was written with the as sistance and advice of Serjeant Talfourd—that his measure was framed and brought forward in consequence of our be ing " intimate friends," &c.; you have printed and publish ed another falsehood. However proud I might have felt had Serjeant Talfourd considered me of sufficient ability to be his coadjutor in any literary task, your assertion that he or so is false, for this simple reason, that I was not then so for tunate as to have made his acquaintance. It may suit the opponents of this measure to ride it out on the strength of the prejudice they can create aiiainst me, and to throw other cases into the shade; but the notes for my pamphlet were Made before I knew that I should ever have a direct and per sonal interest in the subject; they were Made on the ceac Mrs. Greenhill, whose story and whose petition are so care fully slurred over by the writer of the article in your Review; and after the introduction of Serjeant Talfourd's bill, an abridgement, alluding to that measure, was circulated, com posed principally of selections from the original pamphlet, (as the article in your Review was composed from selections from a pamphlet against the bill, privately distributed amongst the lords.) That a person in my position, parted from her children (the eldest not seven years of age) should take an interest, a deep interest, in the " infants' custody bill," was natural, was inevitable; that Serjeant Talfourd, with his acknowledged intellect and noble character, should bring forward an important public measure, disbelieving in its justice and utility, merely to gratify the caprice of a com plaining woman, is an idea too ridiculous to have entered the mind of any but the Orlando Furioso who wrote the attack in your Review. In asserting or insinuating that the delay in the progress of the bill arose from "the Norton negotiations taking a more favourable turn," you have printed and published another absurd falsehood ; the delay was, as I believe, to im prove the details of the bill ; and for my own part, did it please God to restore my children to-morrow, I should still feel the deepest anxiety for the success of that measure. My interest in it did not begin with my own misfortunes, and will not end with them. I should still think it a gross injus tice that a mother may be prevented from nursing, or even from gaining intelligence of her sick and dying child, by the caprice of an angry husband; I should still think it a gross injustice that a man may forsake his legitimate wife for a mistress, and give her innocent legitimate child into the care of that mistress (as in the case of Skinner v. Skinner,) and the English law have no remedy for such a wrong. For any answer to the arguments on the ostensible and no minal subject of the article in your Review, (namely, the bill itself,) this is not the place. For anything I know the House of Lords may decide next session that Serjeant Tal fourd and the great majority of the House of Commons who supported him are fools, and know not what they are doing ; that so likewise are such of the lords who supported Lord Lyndhurst, as well as Lord Lyndhurst himself (though he has been twice Lord Chancellor of England, and has owed that position not to the adventitious aid of circumstances, but simply to the superiority of his own natural talents;) and that. the only true wise or great man is the wrier of the attack in the British and Foreign Review. But I feel called upon for a contradiction of the four or five distinct false hoods which have becn published respecting myself, as si lence might seem to admit that what you have stated is no more than the truth. I declare all those assertions to be false, and consequently the vehement abuse and contemptu ous arguments founded on those falsehoods, are so many mis representations. I contradict them thus openly, because I perceive a cunning and plausible attempt, as I have already said, to create a prejudice against the bill by mixing up my affair with its discussion. You have said that I " courted publicity." It is attacks of the nature y ou.have made on me which force that publicity. It would, no doubt, suit the author of that article, and other known or unknown foes, that I should always preserve si lence, let what will be said of me. " Do not court publicity !" that is, "let the publicity be all on one side; let us assert what we choose; let us invent what we can; let us pour out what venom and scurrility we please on your name; and do not you venture to deny the falsehood, or reply to the attack ; it is not fit the truth should be known, and if we can bully you into silence, we will" It is on e of the many falsehood's In that long abusive article, that I have courted publicity, or sought any sympathy but that of my family and friends, and the proof is, that to this hour no explanation of the very strange events which have cursed my name with painful no toriety, has been given to the world. I did not "court" the gross and public slander by which four or five unworthy plotters hoped to obtain a temporary political triumph. I did not " court the advertisement which went day by day forth in the public papers; nor the abuse and ribaldry which,. by means of law reports and comments upon law reports, has clung to my name wherever English newspapers are sent. I did not "court" the vehement and tedious article in your Review, the abuse of its writer, or the assertions which it contains; but since these things have fallen upon me; since publicity is to attach to inc and my affairs; since I cannot evade or esceape from it ; since every editor of a paper or a review thinks he has a right to publish what. he pleases in connexion with my name, I will at least so far court publicity on the other hand, as to deny assertions which, were they true, would disgrace me. When that pompous article was written ; and the utter inferiority of women commented on, it might have struck the writer that in proportion to the infe riority and helplessness of their position towards men, should be the generosity and forbearance exercised towards them by men ; it might have struck him, while he sneered at the sufferings of a mother parted from her child, and made assertions he could not prove, that it was suffering enough to be so parted, and to have youth blighted, and "life's life lied away," without his adding comments whose virulence and injustice would better have become a low newspaper squib than the discussion of a Parliamentary question in the pages of a work professing nobler ends, and bearing the motto — "In priinisque hominis est propria veri inquisitio atque investigatio." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CAROLINE NORTON FIRES IN LONDON IN 1838.—More conflagrations have occurred in the metropolis and its precincts this year than in any other on record. The followin g is taken from the re ports in the possession of the London tire establishment . In the year 1836, 6 5.1 fires took p lace ; in 1837, 716; and in the present year —January, 84; February, 65; March, 65; April, 52; May, 57; June. 60; July, -18; and in August, 37 ; amount in the whole, 458. In February and March nine persons fell victims to the flames. THE DEVIL THE MAKER OF BLACK MEN.—We sat at our evening meal in the bed of the small river; and a strange dis cussion took place between old Choubih, Henrick Buys, &c., about the difference of colour in the human race, the differ ence of language, the creation of mall, &c. Of the last some of the Namaquas entertain this notion, that the Deity having created white men, the devil became envious, seeing what. a wonderful and handsome creature had been formed; and he also tried his baud at making a man; but he could not make him otherwise than black like himself ; so, in a rage, he struck his man a blow on the face, which flattened his nose : and hence the negro colour and feature.—Alexander's Expedi tion into Africa. ANSTRUTHER.—ENORMOUS TAKE OF HERRINGS.—A per fect spate of herrings has recently rushed towards our shores, and the take lately has been almost unprecedentedly abun dant. Near " The Auld Haiks" the water seems absolutely alive with fish—swarming and spluttering, crowd above crowd shoal upon shoal, till the course of vessels seems impeded by their abundance. Our fishermen are accordingly making a glorious harvest. Under such unusual and unlooked-for pro. ductiveness the resources of the fish-curer begin to fail. The pits of a tan work have been cleaned out, and tons of her rings deposited—not certainly with a view of converting their hides into leather, but what they may be kept in a tem porary pickle of stilt and water, till they can be otherwise disposed of. Meanwhile the fishing in the north seem to have been superabundantly prolific.—Fifeshire Journal. SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RA ILW A Y.—On Thursday evening an accident of a peculiar nature occurred on the London and Birmingham Railway, about one mile on this tilde of Denbigh-hall. Previous to the starting of the Birmingham mail train from the station in Euston-grove, it was discovered that three soldiers were in the Estafctte Birmingham coach, which is conveyed by the railway train, they having paid their fares by that con veyance. 'By the order of the railway superintendent they were removed from their position to one of the second class open carriages, when it was ascertained that they were rather intoxicated, having been paid off from their regiment that day. The train started, and on its arrival within about a mile of Denbigh Hall, one of the men, named James Tier nan, having observed what lie imagined was a public-house, dsclared with an oath that he would not go a step further without something to drink, at the same time (whilst the train was at full speed) snaking a spring from the carriage .into the road. It being nearly dark he was not missed at the the time, but on the arrival of the train at Denbigh Hall, his comnanitins made known the circumstance, on which some of the officers of the company was dispatched to the spot, where they discovered the into lying on his bark, and on examination, found that the whole of his toes, boots and all had been cut off by the train. Notwithstanding this, the unfortunate man on being loused got up, and persisted in walking with them to Denbigh Hall, which feat he accom plished without the slightest apparent pain. On his arrival, however, at that place he complained of violent pain in his feet and legs, and it was not until medical aid was called in that he became full sensible of what had befallen bins. He was placed on some straw in a s table, and having had his feet dressed, remained there t hat night, and was conveyed to his destination at Birmingham by Saturday morning's train.—London Standard. FOURTH OF JULY HEROICS. — It is not a little amusing to a person of any justness of taste, to read the hyperbolical patriotism with which the , lth of July is annually greeted in some of the newspapers. There is no language too extrava gant to express the exultation of some of these writers, at the advent-of this great day. Many of the rhapsodies are per fectly unintelligible, being made up of all the flowers of rhe toric and all the figures of speech of which the language is capable. One of these delighted editors in Elizabeth Town, Illinois, indulges his enthusiasm in the following eloquent strain •—" Flushed with joy at the invincibility of their an cestors' armies, the Roman people offered sacrifices to their deities, and as the incense curled on sublimely through the silvery bowels of the firmanent, there seemed to gush out streams of affection, which each one deemed the perennial safe-guard of their liberties." The editor of the Louisville Journal, a Wight of most excellent humour. but withal, at times, right caustic, having read the above effusion, annotates upon it anti its author, in the words following, to wit:—" The chap that writes these things is very much in the habit of calling his neighbours `asses;' butswe do think, that of all the asses that ever brayed, or munch thistles, he himself is the greatest. We are credibly informed that after his berth, not another ass was foaled in any part of the world for ten years : the whole asinine material of the universe was used up in his composition. Nature exhausted herself in that one effort. If he were to be cut up into ten thousand pieces, each piece would start up a separate and good sized jackass.--=Baltitriore Chronicle. gibipping ante TUESDAY, AnutsT AintlvED-4Royal William, —, from i cati—Belgrave, from Archangel— Hodbet, —, from the Mediterranean.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 30. The sales yesterday were 3000 bags. and the same amount of business has been done again to-day. Prices are without change ; and the market is steady. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 28. Since Tuesday last the weather has been Upon the whole un favourable for the crops of Grain, and the remnant of the nay crop has been securing in very indifferent order ;—for although on sonic of the forenoons of the past week there has been a little sun shine, it has generally rained heavily some part of the twenty-four hours ;—Saturday was a very bad day, and it has continued un. seasonably cold, that the progress of the crops towards maturity —particularly of Wheat, has been much retarded ; and although as in every other season, in some few favourable situations, some small fields of Barley and Oats and even of early Wheat are now nearly ripe, we fear it will be the middle of September before 11 t, can report Harvest as general in this and the Northern Districts ; in the Southern Counties there has been a recurrence of wet weather, which must be .particularly injurious there, as they are much more forward than we are here :—influenced as our markets are at this critical period, not only by every change of weather here. hut also by the fluctuations in London, the moat capricious changes occur natty ; the depression of our last Tuesday's market here was a little recovered at our Friday's market, owing to a small improvement in Mark-lane, and sales to a pretty considerable ex tent were made, chiefly of fine fresh Foreign Wheat in bond here, or on the passage hither, or to be delivered here free of duty next Friday, at an advance of 3d to 4d per 701 h, whilst in the prospect now almost certain of the release of all bonded Wheat and Flour generally in a week or two, the late high rates of British and Irish %'heat receded 6d to 8d per 701 b ; for all other kinds of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal there was a very limited demand, and last quotations barely supported ; in the Yorkshire markets of the past week, and in Manchester on Saturday, a similar depression occurred. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports has this week, as anticipated, been reducedl3s per qr. on Flour Is 92d per brl. on Oats and Beans Is 6d per qr. ; and on Friday next there will he a further reduction of 4s per qr. on Wheat, and 2a 5d per brl on Flour ;—the imports of Wheat from Foreign Ports are weekly increasing, and in the prospect of almost immediate release for home use at a duty of 2s 10,1, or even at the lowest duty of 2s 10d, or even at the lowest duty of Is per qr the value thereof is now nearly the same as free Wheat, less the duty, and considerable sales have recently been effected at prices in proportion ; of Oats in bond there have been a few sales made for export, but in all other Grain and in Flour in nond very little has recently been done, and prices are quoted al most nominally. Since Saturday night the weather has become more genially warm and seasonable, and so continues to-day, in consequence of which, and of the decline in all free Grain yester day in Maitt-lane, we have at this day's market experienced a very limited demand for free Wheat, at fully the decline above-noted ; —Flour was likewise in very little request at a decline of 3s to 4s per 280th, and Oats were offered 2d to 3d per 451 b, and Oatmeal is to Is Gil per 2401 b lower; the finest white Foreign Wheat was offered to he delivered free next Friday at lOs 6,1 to Ils, and red at lOs to 10s 6d per 701 b, and very little sold ;—the millers and dealers generally abstaining from increasing their very small stocks until the result of the complete release of Foreign Wheat and Flour he ascertained.—Since the close of our market the sky has again as sumed a very threatening and unsettled appearance, and it 'rains very heavily.

The Butter market is very dull,—very dull indeed.—Holders, however, give way to a reduction in price with en indifferent grace.—vainly hoping for a reaction,—which candidly we do not at all look for.

The best Beef was in brisk demand, and those remaining unsold, which were but few, were of an ordinary quality. The supply of Sheep and Lambs has been rattier smaller than for several weeks past, and all have been prin cipally sold up. saving a very few of an inferior sort. Good Beef readily sold at 6d, varying from that price down to 5d per lb. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at 6fd per lb, middling Gd. inferior q tality and Ewes at a shade less.

The arrivals of all kinds of British Grain fresh up for to-day's market were moderate, but of Foreign Wheat large. The few samples of free Wheat sold slowly at Monday's prices, and there was little disposition evinced to purchase bonded, although offered at lower prices. In Flour there was very little business doing. and prices unaltered. The transactions in Barley, Beans and Peas; were also on a very limited scale, and prices did not vary. We had a large show of English and Irish Oats left over from last market day, the sales were with difficulty effected at the reduction noticed by us on Monday. We have had warm weather since Saturday, but the wind to-day has veered round to the north, and it is rather cold. PRICES of TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL Wood, Deals, 120 Stan. M. duty paid.
