"He shall tarry awhile," did they laughingly say; ' " We will bold him with us, and then dance Time away !" But although bound with garlands they made him advance, They SOU4I found that they could not keep Time in a dance. " Alack, silly ovniphs I" then he cries, " Whilst ye all dance so gaily, Tina FLIES." Then off Father Time again set, The dust from his scythe gravely wiping; Till a party of skilful young shepherds he met, Passing Time most melodiously piping. Some sought to hold Time with a vigorous gripe, Some Fade him to listen how well they could pipe, `They Flayed, but ere long found thei r pip e s would chime, They held not the tune, and they could not keep Time. "Mack silly shepherds l" he cries, "„Whilst ye all pipe se gaily, Ttmit FLIES." Again the old fellow set out, Without a companion to cheer him; But was stopped in his way by the laugh and the shout Of a crowd of gay Baccivatials near him. With his scythe the wild youths cut the grapes from the vine, " We with drinking kill Time !" cried they all in great glee : But whilst merrily quaffing., Time set himself free. " AltiA, silly topers !" he cries. " Whilst ye all drink so gaily, TIME 'Puss." So, my masters, drink freely and fast, Time coming looks wunderously pleasant; Let us merrily find our pastime in Time past, As we make the best use of Time present. Then crowned with fresh roses let's pass round the flask, And the sunbeams of wit on our pleasures shall bask; For he may all heed of Time's progress resign. Who quafts—freely quaffs of the rosy red wine, Old boy, we thy hour-glass despise, We care not a whit how TIME{ 1 7 LIES. CO,VTEMPORdn Y PRESS. THE FACTORY ACT-WHITE SLAVERY. ( From the Tinte,.) The predicament .in which the Melbourne cabinet is now placed by the slave apprenticeship question would tali forth some sympathy from the unprejudiced part of the community, if the ordinary procedure and policy of the men who compose that cabinet were manly and straightforward; But, as matters are, the embarrass meat into which they have been thrown excites no cor responding feeling in the public mind. The bystanders are only amused to witness the rough handliug, the piti less pelting, which the ministers experience at the hands of their friends, the moment they venture to resist the pressure from withuut, and to difFer in opinion with any particular section of their supporters. To adopt a de ,cided course of their own is so contrary to their usual habits, that the stand they have now made will be attri buted by many to wounded pride rather than to higher motives. They are aware that he of the " tomahawk," .orice their ally, but now their implacable foe, directs the " gathering," and that if they were to yield, it would be said they yielded to him. But, leaving these considera tions, it is clear a storm is rising which will not speedily be quell d. The " Central Negro Emancipation Com mittee," a formidable title of itself, and " the delegates now in London, have recorded their most solemn and de liberate protest against the attempt which has now been successfully made to supersede and annul a deliberate decision of the Commons of England." When these agitators have settled the weighty affairs they have in hand, the " Short Time Committee of Factory Opera tives of Manchester and the surrounding district" will be ready thankfully to avail themselves of their services, and will no doubt lie happy to merge theit own modest title, and become an auxiliary to a " Central White Slavery Emancipation Society ; patron and prompter, ..Lord Brougham and Vaux. The factory act came into operation on the first of Ja nuary, 1834.. We are now in the month of June, 1838, and ;re have been living during the whole of that time - tinder a 'despotism.

(From the Church of E ngland Gazette.) Mr:Hume, following in the wake of the prints in the pay and service of government,:on Wednesday evening night made the melancholy occurrence- in Kent the ground of a most malignant and virulent attack on the great body of the English clergy, and asked. with an air of triumph whether such an occurrence did. not prove that. although the established ehureh wan called the peo ple's church, its directors paid very little - attention to the instruction of the people. How the lamentable catastro, rthe to which he alluded could ,Warrant or establish a _charge rai. gross neglect and inattention••to the duties of their sacred calling against-the• English clergy; it will be for such logicians • as 'the -ex-member for 'ltliddleseXto show, but we are pedants enough not to acknoivledge 414,soundrtess of any argument ~which draws general ..c.inclitsions.from particular premises, although it,may be in other-respects - unobjectionable. But, in this case; the -circurnstances attending that' " ont-hur'sr Of fauatical ntertVificif Ted tiiSuelt deplorable results; afford not even t4l Slightest celOur for so sweeping and wanton a ' c ha rge against the clergy of the district in which it occurred, -much less against the whole ;parochial clergy of Eng land. It has been ascertainedthat the deluded followers , of that compound of madness and fanaticism, Courtenay, ~did not . exceed, forty, and we thick the fact that such a number could be found weak-minded and ignorant enough ,to attach themselves. to him, however much it is-to be .lamented, no very severe imputation on the county 'of vlient, containing, as it does, a population of half a mil, liOn,`and especially as the wretched impostor was a dis yrectcher, and a most violent opponent of a ua ,tionalchurch establishment. In what way the extrava :gala fanatieisrwof a few misguided ignorant peasants,. who had- withdrawn themselves from the wholesome. .guidance and religious control of their pastors, and. had • :heenled away by the mad enthusiasm and enticing doc ..:trines•of their new teacher ; can tell against the charac ter and conduct of the English clergy, we are at a loss •to dis Cover. Indeed, sogroundless an imputation of neglect of duty sought to be tastened on the English clergy only betrays -.the anxious .eagerness with which their enemies (and• they have many) seize upon every opportunity' for the :indulgence of their malice and spitefulness, and shows wrist little just,cause of complaint against them exists, when their most inveterate and watchful foes. can find no • stronger •or more substantial grounds of accusation -against them than those afforded by the recent occur rences in Kent. - Datzatvrt, StrnaSTerfors.--The . Rev: Richard Knill, the 'zealous agent of the London Missionary Society, at 'a meeting -at Leeds last week, gave a thrilling and dreadful account of a superstition which has lately been discovered to prevail in a part of the Madras presidency, India, where the farmers are in 'the habit of-fattening and lining boys, and cutting their flesh 'from their bones whilst they are vet alive, and sending a piece of their flesh to , each of their fields or plantations, that the blood may be squeezed out of it on the soil before the child -dies--this being cane with the view of making the soil more - fertile I Twenty-five boys, amongst the finest that could be Coned, were discovered by-the British soldiery in one place, under the care of the priests, fattening for slaughter; and in another place fifteen were founrfl - They were, of course, res cued, and put under-the care of the collector: and it_was be lieved that the m issionaries will take charge of the poor infants, and bring them up in. the Christian-religion.

ON THE PREVALENT IGNORANCE AND APATHY AS REGARDS IRELAND. ( From the Christian Observer.) I had vvri'ten the above when interrupted by one of those fearful thunder-claps, not unfrequent in this turbid and disor ganised region; but which, if strangers to it had eyes to see and ears to hear, would dispel the darkness of ignorance as regards the real state of Ireland, and disturb the slumbers of apathy. My attention has been drawn.to.the subject of the pre ceding pages, by the strange procedure and issue of the assia l tS" for this county, which has just terminated, and by the glouality forebodings to which these gave birth.. Between the. precegiqg assizes and the last, several murders have been committed in this one county,. as the mangled body of the victims undeniably testified. At the last assizes 80 individuals were arraigned at the bar of judgment on the awful charge of depriving a fellow man of life: b r, to adopt the learned judge's more technical description, "Bt/ charged with murder, or aiding, orabettin,g in murder, which is, the same." That is, in. one county, and at une assizes, nearly twice the number charged with the same awful crime: in .all England and Wales, for the entire year; Such was one page front the annals of Tipperary ! one extract front its calendar of crime! The assizes commenced with the charge of the criminal judge, ( Moore,) of which no faithful paraphrase would be: credited. I shall ; therefore give one .ex tract. in his own words, as reported by, the press Gentle men, this is a peculiar county. It is looked ,upon as an alarmed world, but I assert that, it is an excellent. population; that it has a noble gentry, who., held fine places, and can live comforta bly and happily in those places, leis not the 'ref agium peeca torum." No; it is not tke.uucleus of crime which it is repre sented." So the assizes commenced. They closed, as from such a com mencement might reasonably have been expected, in a county where jurors, if they did their sworn duty, would have more to fear than now have. murderers; and where most of them are glad, some through fear, more through favour, to avail theme eelves,of any salvo of conscience and character which willjus tify them to themselves and to the public.in clearing the guilty —they closed without a .single capital conviction! Justice, at what impulse I know not, or how, paralysed, has dropped the balance aed the sword. The manes, unappeased, of many mut de,red victims of anarchy and party, hover over the. affrighted land—seem to moan iu every hollow gust, and send a thrill of shivering horror through the frame, as they meet us, each, in the fatal spot of ,his bloody death struggle, at.every lonely turn in the highways of this Aceldama." ,The blood of many mur dered victims, unheard by the "dull, cold ear. ot" justice, which stifled voice crieth unto heaven from the, ground, for vengeance on this guilty land. A murmar—loud or low, as fear permite— snunds through this outraged county, in every quarter, film every decent tndividual. Toe more orderly Rornan.Cathelics, even of the humblest class, shudder and express their alarm when they hear of various murders and no murderer—as' though the destroying angel had passed, with a promiscuous, slaughter, through our sleeping host; or sometimes, as of old in Egypt, with nice discrimination selected the srst-bore.e-the thief 01 all our strength; when they hear of 80 prejudiced.in-- nocents, most of whom they .know to be murders-efor about the, perpetrator there is no secret among the people, and those who have heard the evidence, say, there could, in many. instances, be little in the court—turned loose upon society, many of them upon the county, to.itinerate as • walking placards of a govesn ment proclamation that rewards offered for the co,aviction of murderers are merely old-fashioned and unmeaning furors; that, in Tipperary, killing is no murder, or at !east murder is no crime; and as it is inculcated and believed by many, that " the Queen has given her hand and word to Sheil and rave that there shall be no more hanging in Tipperary." Consider ing allahese things, I wrote the preceding pages with a strong sympathy in the general apprehension, that our Spring assizes had sown the serpent's teeth, which would speedily mature into a bristling array of armed men, and that the scythe of death would reap among us a bloody harvest. •My worst fears have already commenced to be realised. On the morning of Thursday, the sth of April, between the hours of seven and eight, within a mite of his own house; and not, I believe, three miles from the mostdistant of the scenes rendered memorable by the inurders of Mr. Bake, Mr Long, Mr. Going, Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Whitty, and many others of lesser-note; on the high road, and from behind the fence, Austin Cooper, Esq. Kilmore, was barbarously murdered by four (as is sup posed) hired assassins: Mr. Wayland, a gentleman who, with Mr. Cooper's brother, accompanied him, dangerously wounded, and his horse shot under him: and these fatal shots responded to by the fire of a party posted on a parallel road which Mr. Cooper sometimes travelled to Tipperary. But murder is so common in this "refugium peccatorum," as, in despite. of Judge Moore's judicial decision within the last three weeks, we must style this " pecniiar county," drunk with blood, that to make a case which will justify our exclamation.of horror, we must tell of 'his murder, what the cause, and who the victim. Cooper was agent to the Board of Erasmus Smith's en dowment, and to the See of Cashel.. After unexampled for bearance and indulgence, he felt compelled, by u sense of - duty to his employers, to dispossess sonic tenants—not, as be himself told me, unable ' but unwilling, to fulfil their obligations; and who, emboldened by the anarchy of the county,-and the recent murder in the neighhourbood of an --agent - who had dared to , eject, refused every offer at compromise. They found to. their surprise, that in honest hands the law could be vindicated; that Mr. Cooper, though .a lamb in ,geirtleness and feeling, was a hero in. principle, and would,- at whatever personal risk, dare to do his duty. The refractory tenants, to.their amazement, were actually ejected. A price—anal it•was a poor one ; but murder is cheap in the training-school of.the assassins—was set.upon his forfeit life. He received several of those private warnings of which the public knows•nothing, and the authorities of, the present day care nothing; but which render this county, we must again say. notwithstanding Judge Moore's late -judicial decision, an alarmed world." -One of his. hired assassins had been sometime ago transported for anothercrime; and, pre cious to the last assizes, he had reason to believe that the spirit of the conspiracy was broken. In the open simplicity of an honest and generous heart, which would not believe that the Irish peasant is forgetful only of favours, and that the affection ate gentleness, past and present, of a whole life could not atone for one transgression of that mob-rule which is the de facto law of-this demoralised land,—hirneelf too forgetful of thatatimulant to crime which, however unintentional, had hut lately emanated from the seat -of justice, he confided in those whom superstition had unlearned, if I may adopt a needful phrase;: even the vir tues of nature, and paid the penalty of this error—death. This was the head and front of his But who-was the victim ? r use both terms emphatically—the most amiable of Christians. I ha.veknown amiable men without the leaven of holiness.

I cannot forbear adducing it as a striking proof of the ex- . 10 Aware of the degree to which any vagueness in a statement Weakens its impressions, I detained the above till the 18th of April, in the hope that I might be enabled to fill, with figures, blanks, whicn are now occupied with the words " many," " several," " various.' Bit I found it impossible to ascer tain, from any source on which I could rely with confidence, the precise number of homicides in the county of Tipperary be tween the summer assizes of ,1837 and the ,spring .assizes of 1838. The secret of Irish crime, and espe,cially of Tipperary crime, is so faithfully.kept, by, the " tranquillisers of Ireland," its safe depositoties (I must not say, „effective instigators and aecomplices), that unless when parliament interposes, no authentic information can be, obtained. Since the 18th of April, when I forwarded the above to.the., Christian Observer, a return of the committals for crime in Ireland .during the year 1807• ; has been published by order of the House of Commons, pursuant to the act of 56 George 111.. c. 120. But as it is con sidered that in Ireland, generally, comtnittals bear to crimes the ratio of one to six, and iulawless Tipperary a far lesser pro-, portion, this document can furnish but a faint conception of the meanfng which should be attached to I be.vague terms " many," "several," "various," which I. have been reluctantly com pelled to use. . From this parliamentary document it appears, that in, the year 1837 the committals for murder in all Ireland,exclusive of Tipperary, were 445 ; for manslaughter, 140; that in Tippe rary alone the committals for homicide—for the Tipperary re turn afford no means of distinguishing. between murders and •manslaughters; these ,are, in the Tipperary returns, huddled together—shall we say with - the benevolent view that. by mysti fying the returns of '; the murder county," as it. is styled by some—" the popish county," by others—" a peculiar county," by a. third high authority—public feeling may not he shocked with. the awful preponderance ; of the higher crime ?—ln Tip perary alone, the committals for homicide, in 1837-amount to 124—that is, to more than one-sixth of the committals for homicide in all Ireland, and exceeding, by 13, the number for the 10 northern Protestant counties! 1 extract from the Stlandard newspaper he following re. marks on the returns to Parliament :—" to order to observe the progress of. Irish crime, it is necessary to take a term: we shall therefore begin with the year 1823, as giving a repetition of the convenient and customary •cycle of seven years:— • COMMTT t LS Full CRINIkS. 1823—Tory mis-government 14.623 •1830—Ditto alto. .

Most High will not• finally sleep, either as respects the agents, the abettors, or those whose criminal .supineness facilitated, if not encouraged, its effusion. • , fi For the information ofsome of our readers, our correspon 'den tsbould have explained that the Home Mission Society in Ireland is not like tbat which bears the same name in London —a Dissenting institution,—but is carried on by ,members of ithe Episcopal communion, through clerical agency, under the sand ion of some of the prelates of the Irishs Church. The late Archhisbnia Magee was a : warm. friend of the society, and is said to have remarked to the foll Owing effect :—" Go and preach to the people in churches; 'and if you cannot get churches, in schoOl-houses and barns; and if you cannot get these, beside hedges and ditches." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. . . cellent spirit of the departed, that the deep regret for this vic tim of anarchy, and the sympathy for his bereaved connexions, which pervade every class throughout the country—that ex cepted which perpetrated the crime—are uurningled with cries of veugeauce. It is not that the•inost effectual means have not been, and will not be, adopted to vindicate the outraged lair. On the contrary, this murder has produced a shuck deep and universal as when Mr. Baker or Mr. Whiny fell, and has awakened the county to a sense of its real condition. • Ills funeral was f dlowed by a large meeting of magistrates and 'gruff!, who, it is to be hoped, will themselves assume, as far as constitutionally as may be, the reins of government; which, from factious motives, have for some time been suffered to drop into the hands of the vilest and must turbulent Class of its po pulation ; but what 1 mean is this, that the deep and universal feeling, on this occasion, seems to repose in tender regrets upon the victim, rather than to rise in ebulitions of vengeance against the murderers. It is as though the mantle of charity which clothed his meek spirit had, in his translation, dropped upon his mourners; and though "—Grief will have way. yet the fast falling tear Is not mingled with deep execratious on those" who, at the impulse of cold-blooded revenge and filthy lucre, could heartlessly rob a wife of an affectionate husband, four in fant babes of a tender parent, society of one of its brightest or naments, and the church below 'of one of her most faithful sons; This meekness and tenderness of sorrow I view as a reflection of the spirit of the departed, just as the soft glow of autumn's evening landscape but. reflects the mild lustre of a brightly setting sun. Man's immortal principle, which " startles at de struction," instinctively looks back to its last personal inter course with any individual who has been suddenly cut down— thus forced to his eternal destiny: and, in the instance before us, all the recollections thus revived, peaceful as their c.'tject; and every glance which follows him beyond the veil, bright-and glorious as that destiny, repel every dark and discordant feeling. .Among many interesting anecdotes. of this character, which may more properly be recorded in the hearts of friends, and in the book of God's remembrance, than in the pages . K a peri odical, the fulluwiug is stated to have been his last act :—As he stepped into his gig, on the fatal morning, a woman applied to him for medicine, which he was in the .constant habit, amid the multiplicity of his engagements, of himself distributing to the poor. Though in haste, he immediately returned to his office, and supplied her want ; and before she could have left his grounds was himself in eternity. That woman was a spy And shortly before he started, two men were observed to pro ceed at a rapid pace, and under suspicious circumstances, in the direction of his tuudrers, from the vicinity of his house. Thus .some recal solid benefits conferred on them; others, the affec tionate look-, or-kind expression, with which he last parted from them. The perfect freedom, too, of his death, under such cir cumstances, from every thing palatal and terrific, (the medical attendant's opinion is, that he probably never even heard the shot whirl) emaciated his spirit.) and the well-grounded confi dence of his friends that their loss is his unspeakable gain—all these cause them to " sorrow not as those who have nu hope." These elevating and soothing recollections embalm his memory and shroud from shocking and irritating view his mangled corpse. In a former number of the Chl istian Observer for this year, -I related an interesting anecdote of Mr. Whiny, a few evenings preVious to his murder; mentioned to me, as I there stated, at the scene of,its occurrence, a happy Christian fire side.. It can be no breach of delicacy to say, that scene was the house of Mr. Austin Cooper's father, and that I have every • reason to believe that Mr. Austin Cooper himself was present on the occasion alluded to. Audit may present Ireland to your readers in a striking point of view to remark, that of the three gentlemen who joined the drawing-room circle, .two, wholly unconnected by family or business, at differeut times, for different causes, by different persons, and those, probably, per sons who never before had any contact, collision with, or even knowledge of them, have been murdered! It is truly an aw ful . link by which any present is connected with my former paper_ Let me add one fact more. I could name a truly pious lady in this county, whose father was murdered! whose brother-it,- law was murdered! whose cousin-german, by marriage, was murdered! the pastor of the parish adjoining to whose residence was murdered! two other pastors of parishes adjoining to wh s ose- resilience were fired at, and in intention murdered! whose husband was fired at, and in intention murdered! whose brother, because an upright and spirited magistrate, was tired at, and in intention murdered ! Now observe, that this was nut an entertainment provided for some popular family party. These five actual murders, though thus connected with a single individual, were-of parties perfectly distinct; at different times, and fur different causes. So many murders, actual and at , tempted, accumulated round the home and heart of a single individual, must present this " peculiar county" in au awfully striking point of view to English " gentry, who hold fine places, and can live comfortably and happily in those places." And as I now review this " peculiar county," I do not think I should speak rashly were I to assert, that there is not in it a single res pectable family, which has not had a relative, a friend, a neigh bour, or some person connected with it in business, murdered. MODES OF EVADING THE POST-OFFICE TAX. (From the Post Circular.) The post-office is lavishing upon the ministerial papers a great deal of money in advertising throughout' the kingdom the ille gality of sending letters otherwise than through the post. No fears of penalties will frighten the smuggler, most simple Col. Alaberly ! partly because he has no ability to pay any if you catch him, and that he can laugh at your threats. The habit has become too settled and necessary to trade to be scared out of existence by £5O penalties. No, no; instead of throwing away any part of your decreasing revenue, listen to the advice of your intelligent solicitor, Mr. Peacock, and fairly beat the smuggler out of the field, by performing the work cheaper and better than he can do it. Employ all your clerks to'examine newspapers, and tell us, good colonel, how you willYletect the telegraphic system exposed - in the last London and Westminster Review, which the Post Circular prints for your•instruction and the benefit of the people. EVASION BY NEWSPAPERS. Newspapers are an obvious means of evasion. They are'writ ten en, pricked, dotted, invisible inks are used, systems ofcyphers employed, marks are agreed upon, and since the reduction of of the duty on them, the number sent by post has been nearly doubled, that is, the risk of detection have been lessened one baits, awl the weans of evasion made twice as numerous An estimate, or rather a guess, may be made on the extent of this evasion from the extent of detection, which, of course, is not a tithe of it. The amount of postage charged in Dublin alone, from 6th Tilly, 1836, to sthJanuarv, 1838; containing writing or enclosures, amounted to a total of e 2828 15s and in the Irish country offices the. atnount.chargd on newspapers in 1836 amounted' to £2122 9s'lld, and in 1831, to £3196 164 1-Id Most of our readers will remember advertisements in the news papers, which are really letters; advertisements in which all !tilers of the alphabet appear animated by the passions of man. Factors address their correspondent by means of circulars in newspapers. " No. 17. You have a remittance this post ;" "No. 20. 81 sacks at 18s are sold;" "No. V. Yours not vet received;" " No. 60. Nothing as yet done in yo urs ." B u t the most ingenious of those evasions is the telegraphic system of addressing newspapers, of which we have been favoured with a-key, which•shows how, bavingonce agreed on a - system Of sig nals,'Mr. Brown,'Of London, may correspond with Mr. Smith, of Edinburgh. • Mr. John Smith, Grocer, Tea-dealer, 1, High-street, Edinburgh. Six changes in the mode of the personal address indicate the dates of the news to be transmitted—ey. Mr. Smith .... Monday. Mr. John Smith Tuesday. Mr. J. Wednesday. J. Smith, Esq Thursday. John Smith, Esq Friday. Smith, Esq Saturday. The dispatch of goods is intimated by taking - the full address as above—eg. Goods sent on Wednesday.—the newspaper is addressed, Mr J. Smith, Grocer, &c. The receipt of goods is understood by the omission of the trade—eg. Goods received no Friday—the address is John Smith, Esq., 1, High-street, Edinburgh. EVENTS OF THE MARKETS— Tee-dealer alone Prices of Teas rising. Grocer. Grocer and Tea-dealer Grocer, Tea-dealer, &c falling. • Grocer, &c Markets dull and stationary. Other information is conveyed by Tea-dealer, &c., Tea dealer and -Grocer, Tea-dealer, Grocer, &c.—ey Suppose sugars rise on Monday—the address' is Mr. Smith, Grocer and Tea-dealer, 1, High-street, •Edinburgh. • - •. • Events in• money matte's indicated by the change in the mode of writing the locality. 1, High-street Remittances received safely. —High-street Bills sent for acceptance. 1, High-5t..... Acceptances received. —High-5t.... Bills dishonoured. This is a system which, though it may not baffle ingenuity to discover, defies all legal penalties. But these changes are not all—red ink, and blue,and black may all have separate meanings; the seali ails often made sig nals, and instances occur in which the same Character extends even to the dashes and ornaments of penmanship. • LINCOLNSHIRE JorrATH AN isst.—We copY from a local jour nal the following morceau :—•' Died,' at Bartou-upon-Humber, lately, James Boyers, well known for many years in the north of Lincolnshire as a horsebreaker. No . man living, perhaps, ever experienced so many fractures from different accidents with horses; from which causes; probably, he was latterly so reduced as to be a' perfect living skeleton, wearing an iron prop to keep his head in position above his shoulders. It is a 're markable fact that about three weeks ago Mr. Morley, the surgeon, was called in to open an abscess in his mouth, when a brood of the common house clock hid seated theno;elves in 'a hollow cavity of his jaw where an old tooth bad been extracted. He was latterly very helpless, and his house being infested with these insects, it is supposed they took posiession of their hiding place when he was asleep."—Stantbrd Mercury. HOPS.—MALT.—Browses. -By a return just made to par, liaruent, it appears that the total number of acres of latid in Great Britain under the cultivation of hops, in the year 1837, was ,4310,794 45.; and that 'the quantity of hops exported in that year was 444,2651 b. 'That in the year 1837 there were made, in the United Kingdom, 5;068,812 quarters of malt; 460,415 were consumed by .retail brewers, the rest by brewers and victuallers. 'And, lastly, it appears that in Great Britain, lie land, and Scotland, there are 2743 brewers, 22,822 victuallers, 40,102 persons licensed 'to seel beer on the premises, and 5292 who are licensed to sell beer not drunk on the premises; and 17,192 who brew their own beer to be drunk o❑ the premises; and 16,610 who are licensed to brew beer not to be drunk on the;premises. Tux FINE PISANTRY —We are sorry to say, that after the police and military had left the fair of Molahiffe, on the evening of MUnday; the . fine pisantry amused themselves, to their hearts' content, with maiming and slaughtering each•other; in the•miAst Christian catholic and neighbourly manner, with Out, very proba bly, knowing or caring•why or tehereliffe. In fact, there was a most desperate riot; or riots, between barbarous : hostile factiOns, in which numbers of people were severely injured, which will give the coroners and their attendant dbctors for the'dead some pecuniary claims on this county for holding inquests; and will also leave some widows and drphkins to people the new poor houses now in contemplation.—Kerr Post. ClDER.—There has been a very . general failure a 6pple bloc shin in some of the best cider Patisheii in this neighbourhood. The orchards'have been infested by a caterpillar about half an inch in 'length, light green sides, dark green back," and of a most prolific and destructive character. Myriads of these insects have been found On'every tree in the districts where they have made their appearance, and stripped them not only of their blossom, but every leaf. The appearance Of the trees is truly disttesiing, and unless one saw thein it Would be difficult to be lieve the devastatiOn they have created. The trees are without a leaf, andhave these desirtictive insects swinging from them by a sort of web in numberless 'festoons,' and the mischief is, that where they have made their appearance, they have not only destroyed the prospevt of a crop for the present year, hut the year following. - Leaf, blossom; and bud, have ell disappeared before t hem.— Westet re Times. ,;:-Dippinq Entellignia, FRIDAY, JtiNE B.—Wind N.ll.
