TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1847 THERE is something in the impudence of Irishmen which is unapproachable; but, when to that impudence ignorance is added, the native of the sister isle beats the world.

The crimes themselves, with the exception of four or five, were not of very great mo ment. There were indeed some cases at which common humanity shuddered ; one of them was of the nature of those cases where the sacred relation which existed be tween parent and child had been violated. That case would require their very careful and serious atten tion should it come before them. They would, he hoped, give that case their serious consideration, and un less they had full grounds for putting him upon his trial, of course they would not do it, because they must be aware that the publication of such a case in an open court had a direct tendency to corrupt and destroy the morality of the public mind. They should be careful, and put no person on their trial in a court of justice, on a charge of that nature, unless they thought there was every likelihood of the guilt of the party charged being fully and substantially proved. But in cases of a doubtful description it would be their duty to make the most careful preliminary investigation in their of their himgry neighbours•of a ll cree d s and parties. Had they received no assistance, this their good work must have been of very short duration ; but they have been assisted and enabled to persevere in (to use the expression of one of them) " detaining men alive." Their time and attention, their feelings and anxieties, as well as their means, have been absorbed in this work. Their health, both of mind and body, has been endangered. In some instances it has given way. Their own private affairs have been neglected ; and now I fear I speak the truth concerning a great number of them, when I say that they have not, and cannot by any unassisted efforts of their own procure, seed for their glebe I.do not speak from pOsitive knowledge, because 'one of them have written on this particular point. I ascribe their silence to their delicacy, since while spending all they had, and all they could beg. on others, they have been nobly forgetful of themselves. The Government poor; anc attention has become painfully alive to the protracted difficulties, not to say destitution, which must be entailed on our devoted reverend brethren, if they do not get their glebes properly cultivated and cropped. Sir, will you circulate these few lines, and appeal in your valuable paper to British liberality (already grievously taxed) on this point ? Will you ask your readers to select Irish parishes for themselves, and instantly to communicate with the clergy on the subject of seed (of all kinds) for their glebes, and wages for their labourers? The "Irish Clergy List" will supply names of both incumbents and parishes. If enabled duly to cultivate their glebes. they will em- ploy, as they ever have done, labourers of all creeds and parties : and at this moment whatever adds to the amount of agricultural labour is of the utmost importance, not only pation of men withdrawn from the public works But I will not prolong this letter by attempting to plead this clause. I may, however, commend it to Christian to My dear reverend fi Grattan beautifull said Concerning the self-exhausting labours of Dean Kir. wan—" In feeding the lamp of charity, he has almost ex hausted the lamp of life."

They were cases of murder—one of them by poison. The point to which their attention in that case should be directed to inquire whether the crime had been committed by poison. And as this used in this case was of a mineral nature, they would see that the only sort of evidence which they could safely rely on was that of finding the poison itself in the body of the deceased ; because the human frame was too apt to suffer change from the effects of various diseases ; and medical science was too uncertain in those matters to admit of their judging by the appearances which the body presented. They should, however, take into consideration the symtoms of the body ; and also the conduct of the party ; but still he would impress upon them that it would be unsafe for them to act on any evidence short of the production. They would, however, judge for themselves, as his object was merely to dirct their attention to these cases The other case - of murder was one of those unfortunate cases which too frequently occurred in this county. He alluded to the too frequent use of the knife. This case, it appeared, arose out of a quarrel, and it would be for them to say whether the sideration any provoking language—no matter however provoking or injurious to his character it might be— for that - could not be regarded as a justification for the awful offence of using the knife, or of com- being would be destroyed. They would inquire, however, if any altercation resulting in personal violence had taken place previous to this unfortunate occurrence. And if they found that any had been usea by the deceased to the ;ercation an i►ne when the latter Used that they would make all due allowance for the strength of the human passions, and the infirmity of human nature in order to enable them to come to a just and rational by the deceased ie prisoner was 01 a nature as to be calculated to provoke him, in a fit of passion, to the commission of this act, then the crime would be re duced from murder to manslaughter ; but above all things he wished them to endeavour to ascertain, if possible, how far the prisoner was actuated by feelings of revenge. He began his charge by alluding to the • distress which afflicted this part of the country. To it a great deal of the crime committed at present might be attributed ; for it could not be otherwise when they took into consideration the immense influx of destitute people Which came into this town. Most of these people assumed the avocation of street begging : but his opinion of their conduct was such, that he believed they should be put upon their trials for obtaining money under false pretences. Yes, and he would go even further, and say, that if any such cases came before him, he would assuredly transport them . L for he thought'they were the' Wofst "daSlif' - of'pefAiiiiVin the channels . of human kindness and charity, and thereby prevent those who were worthy_ objects _ for relief. ! ... rious working of a merciful God of this awful calamity could hay( Perhap measures would be taken as would prevent the recurrence of so much misery in the kingdom. That it would lead to that result he had no doubt. He hoped they would permit him to call their attention to another subject, which was closely connected with the administration of justice. He alluded to imprisonment which was , about to place in the discipline of prisons as re . Erich both primary ant punisnments were conauctect. It was some time since tie had directed the attention of this Grand Jury to one great defect in the prison rules of this as well as every other As long as they kept county jails in which were county kept collections of all classes or pri untried, men and women, girls and boy —so long as these er in one hey wou maintaining a sistemwhich would never reform or amend " of prisoners, they should have several, one of which would be devoted to each particularclass. For instance, why might there not be a house of detention, or separate prison for . . persons who were not tried, as it was not in his opinion fair to treat such persons whom the law always presumed to be inocent until after their conviction. Such a house or gaol of detention should be governed by rules of dici- pline, totally different to those adopte in a prison he one he persons w the other should be merely a house of detention for such persons as were accused of the commission of crime. It appeared to him that in each county there should be a gaol of detention. Then, where the prisoners were convicted, and placed in a state of punishment and reform, surely no man would say that the punishment of the men should be the same as the penetentiary discipline The discipline of boys ought to more severe than a severe strict school; but that, ue was cer tain, would not do for grown up men. Until they established prisons for each of the three classes he had named, he was of opinion that they would not have made even the first step in prison improvement. They might szy that such a cyst - --- , tail a great deal of expense upon +' . em wou country itnatv tF L however, was not of that - opinion, - for he hig ennntv they had three goals—Lancaster Castle, Kirkdalc having them apr e, and Preston ; and why not, instead of propriated to the uses of all classes indis ve them converted into separate prisons criminately all one common a view—namely, the prevention of crime, and r od s ystern of prison punishment ac h of the crime, which at pre. 0 .

This circumstance, together with the prevailing fine' weather, and the !awe arrivals of country-killed meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall, produced extreme heaviness in the beef trade at Friday's decline in the quotations of quite 2d. per 81b., and a large number of really prime beasts left the market unsold. To show the state of the demand we may intimate that many good Oxen were with difficulty disposed of as low as 3s. sd. per 81b., and, further, that nearly 1000 head of on show than at fhecorrespOnding period in 1846. The prices of Beef now range fully 4d. ; Mutton, 4d. to 6d.; Lamb, 6d. to ls ; Veal, Bd. to 10d., and Pork, 2d. to 4d. per 81b. lower than at the same time last season. THE CHESTER 2 AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. We lately noticed some - of the proceedingi of the Ches ter and Holyhead Railway Company, in reference, espe cially to their attempt to obtain powers to construct an inner pier, or harbo ur , f or th eir own exclusive use, (at a FTt tp,ub t l o ic c n os s t ; L in and ships also b ! - T w ay e e e l n linAr o out a t n i7 l i owriLiver pool. We observe that in theirnewßill, they introduce the following clause, which in our opinion detracts most tri flingly from the obnoxious character of the former " And be it enacted, that the said Company shall not take, charge, or levy any toll, rate, wharfage, or other [e, or mere !iandize said inner pier or inner harbour; and it is hereby ex pressly provided and declared, that the use of the said inner pier and inner harbour, by or on behalf of the said Company, shall be limited and restricted to the• purposes connected with the said Railway and the transit of pas sengers, goods, cattle, and merchandize travelling or carried upon the said Railway, and using the• works con nected therewith, and subject to such limited and re stricted use, the said inner pier, inner harbour and works shall be and remain the absolute property of her Majesty, her heirs and successors, and shall be and remain at,. and subject to, the absolute disposal, governance, and' control of her Majesty, her r -sors." leirs and succes It merely means that the said harbour shall, as stated, be " limited and restricted to the purposes connected with the said railway," and that the harbour and works shall be, and remain to be, the property of the Crown. This is a mere fetch, or cajolence. Her Majesty's ships have free entrance to any port in the kingdom ; few of them ever go to Holyhead ; and this new clause gives no further security to the public than the former act. The truth is, that the Chest er an d HninhanA Leir price, curecu or indirectly, eith er as port dues u or as uwn railway rates.y The matter cannot be disguised, that the bill is a job, from first to last ; and if Parliament has its eyes open, it ought to be, and we trust will be, scouted altogether. We must have no such Harbours of Refuge as these. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERT.—Last evening, we were treated with selections from the Oratorio of "'St. Paul ;" and we have rarely heard a finer performance. The principal singers were Miss Stott and Miss Parsons, the former of whom acquitted herself with great ability. Mr. Ryalls and Mr The gem of the evening was the chorus " Oh happy . and blest." Miss Stott accompanied by Mr. Sorge, jun., in an air by Neukomm, achieved a triumph. The trio from " Winter," by Vincent Novell o , was s pl en didl y sung by Miss Stott, Miss Parsons, and Mr. Ryalls, and an encore called for. which Wna nasty late hour at which it was sung.

The deer took 5 line towards Bierton, and when near Mr. Eustace'shoust Mr. Vyse, in taking a fence near the road, fell from his horse, in consequence of the saddle slipping round. His feet unfortunately hung in the stirrup, by which he wa s dragged upwards of 100 yards, the horse galloping at full speed, and beating the unfortunate gentleman's head against the ground. At length his foot became disengazed from the stirrup, and he was carried to the house of Mr. John Eustace, from whence, after a short period, It was thought advisable to remove him to London by railway.
