WEST INDIES, The West indian steamer a name. a. tv on Thursday evening, at seven. She brings about 400,000 dollars and 127 serous of cochineal. The Jamaica papers, which are usually regarded as the most important in furnishing information on the general prospects and condition of these possessions, allude to the satisfactory condition of the treasury, which, at the Board of Commissioners for Public Accounts, was stated to have been £119,627. 18s. Bd. on the 31st of December last, while the Sept. quarter had not shown more than £108,497. 19s. Gd. The new tariff had made a considerable accession to the funds of the government, and though it does not appear in all respects to meet with the approbation of the public, pro visions being taxed highly, still it is admitted generally to have given much strength to the revenue. Improvements in the distillation of rum were occupying the attention of the planters, but no positive result had yet been arrived at, which had caused some discontent among those who were led to expect that there could be no doubt of the success of the principle. With respect to the condition of the crops, the advices read rather favourably, and in several of the districts the coffee-fields are represented as in full bloom, affording excellent promise for a large crop, while the pimento also gave good indication for the future. There is nothing s:iid in these papers relative to the state of the sugar plantations, but by what can be gathered front other sources, there ap peared to be doubts, as there are also in Demerara and Barbadoes, of the coming crop yielding au average equal to that of last year, and the deficiency seems for the most part to have been occasioned by the drought which has for the last two months prevailed in many of the islands, although the want of suficient labour to keep the estates in the con dition required for their protection from those mischances attending agricultural operations is likewise stated to have contributed its effect to this unfortunate result. In the Demerara, Barbadoes, and Trinidad papers the question of emigration is much discussed, and in the former colony in connexion with the departure of a number of C oo li e s, who were returning to their native land with wealth I amassed. to the extent of 23,000 dollars. 16,000 dollars of . . which they had actually taken with them. Opinions are stated as differing in the value of this description of labour in the West Indies, hut the weight of argument seems to be in favour of it, for although it is stated that they accumulate their wages without giving them the slightest circulation in the locality, they are in most cases allowed to be an indus trious, persevering, and quietly-conducted race of people. Government are urged by some of the influential planters to encourage the emigration of the natives of the east, as a means of reviving the lost fortunes of their brethren of the west. In Demerara a strict investigation into the exercise of powers under trust properties, either bequeathed or seques tered for the benefit of creditors, was occasioning consider able sensation among parties who had been deputed to fill such appointments, and accounts had been rendered by seve ral with the view to show the strictness and integrity with which they had administered their duties. A great number, however, still remained without any statement of the collected assets, or property likely to be realized for the benefit of those who happen to have claims upon them, and the laxity so exhibited was calling forth the just censure of the press, the conductors of which are vigorously endeavouring to ob tain the interference of the colonial executive, in order to force a due obedience to the reenlations that ought to be re garded in the administration of such estates. The Troughton property is cited as an instance on a large scale in which the intervention of the authorities could be used with profit to facilitate the payment of a dividend to the numerous creditors to whom it would be useful. The declaration of a dividend under the English estate had stirred the creditors in the co lony to loud complaining on the subject. Buenos Ayres papers to the 25th of March announce the news before received direct of the blockade of Montevideo by Oribe, and the presence of Admiral Brown to carry it out. The number of vessels in port had increased to 112, and the exchange was 3d. 1-16th per paper dollar. The great Rhenish Musical Festival is to be held this year at Aix-la-Chapelle, on the 4th and sth of next month. Up wards of 1,500 performers will be assembled on the occasion. The Queen is about to create Sir Charles James Napier, in testimony of her approval of his intrepidity and skill at the memorable battle of Meeatiee, a grand cross of the Bath. SIR CHAILLUS METCALFE.—One thousand guineas, it is said, was paid by Government for the accommodation of his Excellency Sir Charles Metcalfe and suite in the Columbia to Boston.—Montreal Transcript. THE LATE SIR W. MACNACIITEN.—The remains of Sir Macnaghten are now on their way to Calcutta. and may be expected in a few days. They were recovered at a large price, by Lady Macnaghteo, from the well into which they had been cast. The body was recognised from its mu tilated condition, and from the absence of the head and the arm. which had been cut off by the Affghan ruffians who as sassinated him. We have been given to understand that it is not intended to pay the usual public honours to the re mains of this lamented public servant, though at the time of his decease he occupied one of the most important and responsible posts under this Government, and had been nomi nated Governor 'of the Bombay presidency.—Friend of The Courrier de Lyon !states that an Englishman lately died at Vienna, whose manner of living was exceedingly cu rious. Being affected with a liver complaint, and having seen in a treatise on the malady that baths were a good reme dy, he took two every day for the last seven years. At first the length of each was two hours, but that period went on gradually increasing. For the last three years he entered the bath at half-past four or five, and remained there until twelve, when he dined. He again entered the bath at half past one, and left it at eight in the evening, to eat his supper and go to bed. So that he spent thirteen hours a day in the water. On the day of his death he arrived at the bath a little later than usual, and complained of the loss of a valua ble half-hour. In an hour after a servant entered, and found him with his head inclined on one side—dead. INSURRECTION IN 130` , .N1A.-VIENNA, May, 22.—Intel ligence from the military frontier states, that an insurrection had broken out among the Turkish population in Bosnia. On the 12th May, the Viceroy established himself in a camp near Bisacz, with the intention of operating against the in surgents. The latter consisted chiefly of Arnauts, and they received reinforcements front Duvno, Livuo, Kupress, and Glamorcz. On the 9th the insurgents endeavoured to take the fortress of Ostroschatz by storm, but they were repulsed by the garrison. From Yaszenicza the Viceroy summoned, the rebels to surrender up twelve of their ringleaders, of fering to grant an amnesty to the rest. To this proposition, however, the insurgents would not accede, and demanded, as the conditions of their submission, the removal of the Pasha of Besacz and the Arnauts from among them, and the reduction of the recently augmented custom-house duty to its former amount. The rebels still continue to keep the fortresses of Brechovicza, Ostrosehatz, and Krupa closely blockaded, whilst the operations of the Vizier are tempora rily suspended by the overflowing of the river Klogot. This insurrectionary movement, which is not marked by any po litical character, will probably be-of short duration, like all simiiar movements in Bosnia.—Austrian Observer. IRELAND, MOB-MEETINGS IN DUBLIN (Front the Dublin Evening Mail.) Since the first evening upon which the new mail-coaches of Mr. Croat started from the Post-office, the entire area of Sackville-street has exhibited, on each recurring night, a scene little in accordance with the peace and order which, at such a time, should pervade a quiet and well-regulated city. Vast crowds of people assemble, obstructing the free passage of the citizens, and making it necessary for the authorities to have a strong force of police and military in attendance for mo re than an hour each evening ; and all for the ostensible purpose of hooting the insensible machines of paint and tim ber that convey her Majesty's mails. It is impossible to believe, for a moment, that sympathy for Mr. Purcell—a gentle.nan, by the way, who does not possess the unqualified respect or affection of the Irish mobs, or their great leader— is the real purport that brings together these vast concourses. The true object of those meetings is to exhibit the physical power and numerical strength of the sovereign people, and the mo ral power of their leaders in swaying the multitude, g : rvi:rn i n g their movements, and giving the proper direction to their passions and feelings. Accordingly we perceive, and with no surprise, that a popular commander is always present on those occasions, preaching nominal obedience to the laws. but never failing to add a word of hope and encouragement with respect to a great subject of popular excitement. On one occasion Mr. Reilly harangued the mob, and last evening the Head Pacificator himself—sent, as we are told, by the ib and " with a light green bough in his hand, which, uLpoenrerattocri occasions, he bears, as the symbol of his func tions " pleasingly symbolical, no doubt, of the dove with the o live 'branch—addressed the multitude, not on the subject of Croal, Peter Purcell, or the mail contract, but of Daniel O'Connell—" the old accomplice of the Saxon, Wellington —and the ethereal system of regeneration." FROM THE FREEMAN.) " The Head Pacificator on Thursday evening was again sent by the Liberator to Sackville-street, to preserve order during the arrival and departure of Croat's old-new coaches, and to prevent a recurrence of any scenes like those which occurred at their first starting . " When the conches had all left the Post-office, Mr. Steele harangued the multitude for a few moments. He said that he had it in charge from the father of his country to tell them !hat he was sorry that they should be wasting their time upon such a matter as Croat's or Peter Purcell's coaches ; but, at the same time, he also had it in charge from his august and mighty leader to give expression to his (Mr. deeuest, his most intense gratitude, for the aj proof they had given the evening before of their confidence and their devotion. They had not allowed themselves to be overcome by the military or the police, but the very moment they heard what he desired, they acted on his counsel. (Tre mendous shouting, and cries of to be sure we did.') A peo ple (continued Mr. Steele) so brave, but at the same time so docile and obedient—and with dauntless bravery, docility, and voluntary obedience to le.adership, are the elements of moral might irresistible; a people such as you are cannot, by any possibility be kept groaning under the bloody and atrocious tyranny of the alien Saxon, and the old accomplice of the Saxon, Wellington of Ireland. (Long-continued ac clamations.) The rest of Ireland is just what you are. Let Ireland but preserve her lawful tranquillity, in combination with her obdurate energy of resolution—let Ireland do this, a u s .

I have seen a letter this day confirm ing in every particular the details of the previous account, adding that the number of houses " wrecked" by the anti repeaters exceeds what was at first supp ose d, t h ere h e i fe r 48 cabins destroyed instead of 35. The damage is not estimated beyond £lOO. as the dwellings were of the most wretched description ; but this is, of course, no palliation for so lawless a method of retaliating an injury, real or imaginary. The Protestant party allege in their defence that the Roman Catholics were the first aggressors, they having attacked •a body of Killyman men while passing through the village of Carland ; that they broke a drum and a man ' s arm at one and the same time, and this, too, without the slightest provocation on the part of the Protestants be yond the marching in procession, accompanied by military music. Up to a late hour last night no official report of this outrage had reached the Castle, and, strange to say, al though the Dublin papers hale each their own version of the affair,the northern journals make no allusion whatever to the matter. The following is an account given of the trans action by the correspondent of an evening Whig paper. The name of the village of " Carney" is, I apprehend, a misprint for " Carland," the real name of the scene of actior. :—" It has been the habit of the repeaters to hold monthly meetings at the village of Carney, for the purpose of collecting the repeal rent and organizing members. Their proceedings I understand, were invariably chacterized by the most perfect order, and the total avoidance of anything that could . give offence to those of different political opinions, among whom you are aware I rank. On Tuesday last, one of The usual meetings was announced, and shortly before it was to take place a body of men, numbering probably 10.000 or more, armed with guns, swords, and other offensive weapons with several bands of music, playing " Protestant Boys," Croppies lie down,' and similar tunes, marched from Dun gannon in perfect military order to the devoted village. On seeing such a dangerous host approach, the Roman Catholics fled. The armed mob entered the village, and having broken into all the houses and cottages, in search of the Roman Ca holies, and being most fortunately disappointed to a great extent, they smashed all the furniture, the windows: the doors, in fact, everything breakable within their reach, and pulled down to the ground upwards of 60 dwellings in which nearly one hundred fainalies resided. They shouted with joy at their victory, and marched back again after their bonds in the same military order in which they approached. The magistrates—some of whom have been charged with conni ving at this shameful outrage—will hold a public inuestiga tion on Saturday at Dungannon. Great excitement prevails, but there is a strong force of military and police in the neighbourhood." 7 o'clock.—The Dublin Gazelle, this instant published, contains a proclamation, dated this day, offering a reward of £lOO for the detection of the perpetrators of the foregoing outrage, but adding nothing to the stock of information already known as to the cause which led to its commission. It runs us follows : _ _ " Dublin Castle, June 2 " Whereas it has been represented to the Lord-Lieutenant that, on the 30th ult., several houses in the towulands of Lis boy, Carland, Feroy, and Creeragh, situate in the parish of Dotiaghmore, and county of Tyrone, were considerably in jured by an assemblage of persons, about 4,000 in number, his Excellency, for the' better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of this outrage, is pleased hereby to offer a reward of £lOO to any person or persons (except the person or persons who actually committed the same) who shall, within six months from the date hereof, give such in- formation as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of and proportionably for one or more, of the persons concerned therein.

GOOD NEWS FOR Tilt LIBEILAL LANDLORDS !—A few days since two men were brought before a county magistrate for a breach of the :pence.

Tun DUBLIN CORPORATION TREASURER.---The Great Western steamer had arrived in New York on the morning of the 12th oh.; among the list of passengers were Mr. Finn and lady. The Hibernia, which sailed from Boston on the 16th. met in the harbour the Caledonia going out ; and as it would be quite impossible for Mr. Cox, who was on board, to have reached New York by railway before the 17th, it follows that Mr. Finn would have a start of five clear days upon him.

O ' CONNELL AND THE FTTNDS. — Connected with the late agitation in the lands, and the "agitation" in Ireland as the assigned cause of it, a correspondent of the London Times puts this query,—" Could some of your city reader• inform us whether some one of the Iri•h banks has not lately sold a very large suet in Consols for money and account? Has the uyilalion anything to do with this ? Dan alludes to the fall in Consols, perhaps it ix business as well as peaceful uyilalion he is looking to—l am told it is !" More wonderful things than this have turned out to be true, and it must be owned that O'Connell's career as a banker, considering that he hail no " training to the business," has been a very successful one. Some of his rivals know to their cost how closely his influence as a popular leader and his operations in banking have heretofore been connected. EmnAmtATIoN OF TROOP* FOR RLLAND.—PORTS MOUTH, May 30.—The Rhadamanthus this morning arrived from the eastward, and at 1 o'clock p.m. Major Castirau, Lieutenants Tate, Parke, and Davis, with GO gunners, four (i-pounders, and two howitzers, embarked in her and sailed immediately, it is supposed for Duh!in.

STRANGE AND ROMANTIC STORY. - A correspondent, who writes from Ballnhaderrine, county of Mayo, and with whose name we are acquainted, sends us the following strange details :—" Balaghadcrrine, May 2.5, 1843.—Yesterday the inhabitants of this town were annoyed by an announcement that there was a woman in custody who had served as servant man in this town for upwards of six ❑months, and was known by nearly all the inhabitants as the greet lady killer. In fact, this person could not stand at the house door but the girls would flock about him ; and so jealous were they of each other, that one of them was tined by the magistrates of this district some time since for scandal, arising out of this strange partiality. On being. examined yesterday by Surgeon Dillon, and one of the magistrates of the Ballaghaderrine Petit Ses sions, the following facts were elicited ;—The name of the supposed man was Catherine Willy; that she had been mar ria,l to Michael ()'Malley, of Binghanes; that. she had lived him for five years, and bad borne one child ; through bad treatment sine was driven to adopt the resolution of leav ing him, and is now 18 months away from hint. On leaving h er na tive place she went direct to and purchased man's apparel, in Is hich she dressed, and then proceeded to Hallagbaderrine, where she was hired as a servant. In the course of three or four months servam in love with tho assumed man ; they plighted troth, and were joined in Hymen's bonds. They are married now four months, and the only excuse—but no, we shall leave this part to the ima gination of our readers.

From attacking and destroying turnpike gates situated in remote and unfre quented parts of the country , these violent men proceeded daring ; and at length, e CAplUita - • day morning last, attacked an d co m pletely destroyed one of at r t e o:t ii- , t : the gates of the. county to wn—Carmarthen. I t a pp ea rs by the statement of the toll - co llector of Water-street G ate (the g n a t eg i a t yp,,tiea sentinels ei destroyed), early3 othatatoin u personsßh iatit arrived te gate, and immedGd a h t n aboutSu r the residence of Captain D avies, a boro ugh magistrate. Their leader, " Ttebecca , " who is easil y distin gu i she d b y hi s Water-street, Saturday e n n extraordinary stature. was attired in female clothing, and proceeded with a sort of body-guard to enter the toll-house. He. then gave directions " to smash the windows and unroof the house." The windows were instantly beaten down, and they were proceeding to unroof the house, when the wife of the toll-collector rushed forward to the mysterious leader of the band, and entreated him to spare the house for the sake of her dying child, whit lay ill up stairs. The man seemed moved by this appeal, and proceeded to the bedside of the invalid, when finding the statement of the mother to be cor iect, he gave orders " to stay oroceedines," as far as the toll house wits concerned. Previous to leaving the house he asked whether the furniture belonged to the collector or to the trust ; when he was informed that they were the property of the collector. He said in that case they should not be injured. The gatekeeper was then ordered to keep inside the house, and not to venture out if he valued his life. They, however, took the additional precaution of placing two senti nel' at the door. They then commenced their attack upon the gates, which were very s peedily destroyed, although they were made of the strongest Welsh oak-20 inches in diame ter, and firmly fixed in the ground. The lamp -post and iron wicket-gate were also destroyed, and the masonry to which they were attached was also torn to pieces. During their proceedings they tired off several volleys, whether intended as signsls to some distant associates or as acts of defiance or exultation, we hardly know. Several of the more hardy of the inhabitants attempted to approach the scene of violence, but were sternly ordered by the sentinels to stand back. After demolishing the gate they obliged the toll-collector to make a promise that he would not take toll from any per son again. They also stated it to be their determination to raze the Carmai then workhouse with the 'ground in August Attracted by the tiring of guns, the town police were soon on the spot, but wisely kept at a respectful distance, as unquestionably had they interfered their lives would have been sacrificed. As a finale, " Rebecca" and her riotous progeny gave three hearty cheers, fired their guns, and sud denly disappeared. The borough magistrates held a meeting in the course of the day, and took down the depositions of several persons, which were forwarded the same evening to Sir James Graham, secretary of state. _ , It must by this time be pretty evident that the efforts of the county constabulary are totally inadequate to make head against this dangerous and far-spread conspiracy. Strange rumours are afloat respecting this renowned " Rebecca," who evidently is a mall posse sing eery considerable influence over the minds of his folloWers. Every outrage is of a more daring nature than the preceding one, and we fear, unless some prompt measures be taken by• the government, they will proceed from levelling turnpike-gates to acts of a more desolating character. From the Carmarthen Journal. On Saturday nuornito , last, Rebecca and her sister Char lotte, together with about b 300 of their children, paid a visit ioWater"gate-street, in this town, which they demolished, as well as the windows and roof of the toll-house, lamp-post, &c. They commenced their work of destruction about one o'clock in the morning, and completed the whole in about 15 or 20 minutes. About ten minutes before the arrival of Rebecca, the gatekeeper had been out taking the toll for a cart, and he had only just returned and laid himself down in his clothes on the bed, WIICy he heard a thundering noise at the gate; he immediately got up, and tan towards the door, but before he could reach there, the door was struck in against him, and Rebecca and her sisters came into the passage. He saw it would be quite useless to make any resistance, and said, in order to save himself from being ill-treated, " 0, 'Recce is here; go on with your work—you are quite wel come." Rebecca desired him not to be alarmed, as they would do no injury whatever to him. The gatekeeper then begged of them not to destroy the furniture, a 3 they were his own, and that his wife and child were in bed; but they might do as they liked with the gate and toll house. Reberca went to the door, and ordered her daughters not to touch anything but the gate and the roof of the house, and not to break the ceiling for fear the rain would come in to the woman and child in hed; but in their hurry to unroof the house, one of hen Rebecca expressed her sorrow at the acci dent, as it might cause some inconvenience to the gatekeeper. Rebecca and her pister then told the gatekeeper that they had visited Water-street gate in consequence of the informa tion laid by David Joshua, gatekeeper at Glangwilly, against the ceiling, a person lust week ; and thut they would destroy the Work house and Glangwilly gate before August, and would take off David Joshua's head with them. • During the whole of that time the work of dostructiou was carried on in the most furious manner, with large hatchets and cross-saws; and a number of tnen had taken a ladder, and ascended the roof of the house, which was completely stripped in a very short time. Before they commenced breaking the gate, Rebecca had taken the precaution to place about a dozen of her daughters, with guns in their hands, as sentinels to guard the street leading into town, and they kept firing incessantly down Water -street, co that it was almost impossible for any person to approach near the gate; but notwithstanding that, a drunken man who happened to hear the 1106 C, went up to them, and called out, " Burnt, 'Becca!" but they immediately turned him back, saying, " Go about your business, there's a good fellow, you are not wanted here—we are enough here already." The gate was broke to pieces —the poste sawed off about fifteen inches from the ground—the lamp and gas-pipe destroyed—all the windows of the toll-house smashed—the toll-board :taken down and split; and Rebecca informed the gatekeeper, that had it not been for his civility to them, the house would have been entirely taken down. After the work of demolition was completed, Rebecca called in the sentinels, an& they all -left together towards Fountain-hall, making the most strange noise imaginable, seemingly trying to imitate the squeaking of pigs; and when they came opposite Green-hall, they stopped and fired ten or a dozen •shots. Rebecca and her sister were dressed in long loose white gowns, with women's caps and turbans on their heads, and their faces blackened, arid they had large swords in heir hands. Nearly the whole of the rest were also dresled in women's clothes, and the greater part of theta were armed with guns. Whilst at work they talked very silently, and seemed to use some slang language which no body could understand but themselves ; but Rebecca and her sister talked common Welsh with the gatekeeper, and by their language and pronunciation he thinks they must be living somewhere in the neighbourhood of Carmarthen. On their way to the gate they entered a smith's shop on the Conwil road, and took two sledge hammers and 'a pickaxe, which they afterwards put back in the same place on their return. They behaved remarkably well to the gatekeeper. and fre quently desired him and his wife not to be alarmed, as they would not injure them in the least ; but at parting, Rebecca desired him not to exact tolls at that gate any more. They asked hun also if he had received a letter, acquainting him with their intended visit ; and when he answered in the nega tive, they seemed rather astonished, and said it had been sent, and he ought to have received it. The gatekeeper had some presentiment on his mind that Rebecca would very soon pay his► a visit ; and in the course of last month he had observed several suspicious-looking fellows lurking about the place, when they were no doubt reconnoitring; and from those circumstances, be was not at all frightened when he heard the thundering sound of the hammers on the gate, and when getting up he told his wife that Tecea was there, and desired her not to be alarmed. In the course of the conversation Rebecca had with the gate-keeper, she told him that many things besides the gates required to be altered in the country, and as the gentlemen► and those in power refused to do it, they would do it them selves : they would not suffer the poor men iu the workhouse to be starved, and they would nut allow themselves to be starved either. The people living near the place got up to the windows and attempted to look out, but they .were immediately or dered back, and they could distinctly hear the shots whistling as they passed them. The police, too. were at the corner of Water -street, but they dared not venture further on; and we understand they were severely reprimanded by the magis trates for their cowardice in not making an attempt to put a stop to the lawless proceedings, and capture some of the gang. The following is a copy of a notice, the original of which was in Welsh, which was taken off the door of Bwlchnewydd . Meeting-house : "This is to give notice, that the goods of all persons who will henceforth pay at Water-street gate will be burned, and their lives will be taken from them at a time when they will not think. " BECA." CRIME IN YoaksumE.—There were on Tuesday ninety prisoners in Yolk Castle awaiting their trials at the ensuing assizes. In the House of Correction, at Wakufield, one hundred and ten prisonrrs were awaiting their trials at the sessions, viz. 61 to be tried at the Sheffield sessions, which commenced on Thur.day ; and 49 at Bradford Sessions, which commence on Monday next. It is only six weeks since the gaol was delivered. There is a penalty of £2OO or 6 months' imprisonment incurred by the possession of any vegetable matter resembl ing tobacco. At Clerkenwell police-office on Monday, a poor man was convicted of offering cigars for sale composed of dock and. rhubarb leaves, with a covering of brown paper stained with ochre ; there was not a particle of tobacco in the composition. The man pleaded that he had gained his livelihood by the manufacture, but the Act of Parliament is imperative, and he was sent to Vi nod. SINGULAR ATTACK.—On the morning of Sunday week the following singular atthck was made by a cock on a man named John Thorne. living at Hanzre-hill Lodge, Twyford abbey, near Ealing, Middlesex. It appears that, about half past six o'clock Thorne went into the hen-house, for the pur pose of feeding and letting out the fowls. lle had in his hand a measure with a quantity of barley in it, and, on coming to soave tine chickens, he examine if it was fat. took taking it up c i Aupo u neinhis hand in order to thy chick cried out, and the cock immediately flew at him and fastened himselfon his head, and began pecking and spurring him in a most fu rious manner. From the extensive hemorrhage which fol lowed, medical assistance was procured, when, on examina tion, there were found to be four pecked wounds (deep holes,) and six or seven other holes inflicted with the bird's spurs and feet. nu; BILOUGHAM-lIA LL Banns.—We have, on several occasions, chronicled how the Birds were fluttered at Brough hum Hall and ejected therefrom, which teat was, with sonic difficulty, performed by the workmen on the premises, under the.direction of Lord Brougham's solicitor.

TUESDAY NOUNING, JUNE 6, 1843 We repeat the question, which we asked in our last publication—JP - hat is the faith which is taught in the seminary of Muynooth, at the expense of the Protestant people of Great Britain? We have an example of the tendencies of that faith—of the ft uits of that teaching —before us, in the following- language tittered at a re peal meeting by Dr. Higgins, the so-called Roman Catholic bishop of Ardagh, and, once, a professor of the seminary in question ! " Let all England know," exclaimed this exemplary bishop (!) " that I acknow ledge the sentiment which is recorded of me at Mul lingar, that whenever the minister may dare to come out with his threat against wronged and oppressed Ireland"—may dare to give proof of his declared reso lution, vnd the resolution of his sovereign, to MAIN TAIN THE INTEGRITY OF' THE EMPIRE AS SETTLED BY THE ACT OF UNION—" I will make every chapel in Ireland a repealing place (!) 1 will, if necessary, go into the very sanctuaries, and there I will denounce those, who will force us there, as . conspirators against the constitution of my country." What a notion must this ex-professor of Maynooth have of " the constitu tion of his country," and the sanctity of " 'rm.: VERY SANCTUARIES" of the Roman Catholic faith ! But, proceed with the remarks of this precious specimen of the morality of Maynooth. " There is one lord in England, called Lord Beau mont, who has flung his English scurrility on the humble individual before you. (Groans.) I WILL BE REVENGED ON HIM (!) From this spot, the centre of Ireland, I hurl back, I will not say my contempt, for that would not be becoming A CLERGYMAN (! !) but I give him a carte blanche to revile me as much as he likes in future." " Most lame and impotent conclu 's;on" of a climax of priestly blackguardistn so con summate ! In conclusion, this most saintly eleve and ex-professor of Maynooth volunteered, for the benefit of his hearers, the following declaration :—" I stand to every sentiment that I uttered at Mullingar; and I know that I embody in my own person the sentiments of every priest in Ireland, and I defy those who assail me, on account of them, unto death" The climax to the performance of this most excellent and apostolical bishop, consists in the fact that the ruffianly language, which we nave quoted, was uttered at a dinner, actually held in the Roman Catholic chapel —in the house dedicated to prayer to the Most A t a meeting held last week in Birmingham, by the leaders of the complete suffrage party, with 11r. Joseph Sturge in the chair, for the purpose of express ing their sympathy with the repeal agitation in Ire land, we learn, from the correspondent of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, that the following fell from the lips of Vincent, the notorious Chartist emissary : " Mr. Henry Vincent would tell Sir Robert Peel—he would tell Sir James Graham from that place—that if they attempted, or dared to violate the constitution in Ireland— if they trampled upon the people— he would, though he be his way from town to town, go forth through England, and by all means in his power arouse public indignation against such infamous conduct. (Loud cheering.)" Now, we have a few words of comfort for this " Mr. Henry Vincent." He will have no occasion to " beg his way from town to ;own," on such an errand; for Chartist though he is, or was —convicted firebrand though he has been—he has friends, excellent friends, who will speed him upon any factious or seditious errand, the success of which may tend to embarrass the position of the government of Sir Robert Peel ! Mr. Henry Vincent has done good service of late to the League arid the dissenting bodies. We suppose, at least, he is the same individual who within the last six weeks has figured at the Corn Exchange of 'Manches ter, as a lecturer against the educa;ional clauses of the Factory Bill (!) and received there the congratulations and the praises of the Hussies and other reverend dis senting friends of the League millocracy, with, in all likelihood, something more solid than mere words, which every agitating quack knows " butter no par snips." " Repeal of the Corn-law" and " Repial of the Union" are twins! And if Mr. Henry Vincent can get up a body of " sympathiserS" with Repeal of the Union, amongst the Irish population of the manufae wring towns, it is not to be supposed that an effort capable of being wielded so efficaciously for the carry ing of the other kind of repeal, would go without its reward ! The words of the burly mendicant, O'Connell, sel dom fall to the ground ; his threats are seldom the: pointless, innocuous things which the good-natured. world supposes. But a week ago, he told an assembly of two hundred thousand people in Ireland, and was; cheered vociferously for the assurance, that the first. step taken by the government, to put down his insur rectionary agitation, would " light a blaze amongst the. nvinnfactories of Great Britain." And here we have " the beginning of the end" contemplated. We have , already, in Manchester, large bodies of the Irish work ing classes levying contributions, by intimidation and. threats of violence, upon the inhabitantY, for the car rying on of the repeal insurrection ; and this Mr- Henry Vincent, lately the courted and flattered pro tog6e of " liberal" millocracy, now openly proclaims, at: a public meeting presided over by a free-trade quaker (!). his resolution to do all that in him lies to " arouse public indignation," or, in plainer words of our own, to light the very fires, over the contemplation of which the arch-mendic:int, O'Connell, gloated with a glee so hideous and revoking !

TO MERCHANTS, BROKERS, AND OTHERS The largely increased and most respectable circulation which the Tuesday's Edition of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has now obtained amongst the mercantile body in Manchester affords its proprietors the gratify ing power of urging this, amongst the other undeniable claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in the 'neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester, however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the •roost im portant market day. of the Cotton Trade, when its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manu facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest. Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support front the mer chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have hitherto bestowed their adver tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care.

We have before us, in the columns of the Illauches ter Guardian, a correspondence which throws an im portant light upon the position and prospects of the cotton manufacture of this country. We can afford space this day for its substance merely ; and may per haps in our next give it more in full, and enter into an enquiry with respect to the degree of credit to be attached to the views of the writers. The subject of the correspondence is the recent im portation, by Messrs. Barings, of those cotton goods, the manufacture of the United States, whose seizure by the Board of Customs excited, recently, some sensa tion in the mercantile world. A letter, it appears, has been addressed by the manufacturer of these goods, to Mr. R. H. Greg, from which, and from the statements of that gentleman himself, we gather the following facts. The goods in question are no attempted imita tion of any British goods, and no concealment was sought in their introduction into this country. They are, in fabric, a stout twill, and have for year's past been largely exported to the South American markets, displacing in those markets the produce of British looms. They . are now being extensively exported to Canton ; and it is thought may at no very distant pe riod be profitably introduced into consumption in the British market. It is further stated by the American correspondent of Mr. Greg, that cotton yarn is now becoming an extensive article of export from the United States ; and, he maintains, confidently, that, in a few years, no manufacturing nation will be able to compete with that country in cotton yarns ranging be low No. 30. These are surely startling facts, well calculated to awake us from our visions of manufacturing, supre macy. The sight of a cotton jacket of American ma nufacture upon the hack of a Manchester or a Bolton weaver, is one which the fathers of the present race of manufacturers have scarcely anticipated. And yet, with the greatly reduced rate of wages now paying in the United States, owing, as we find it stated, to the low price of food, it is one which we may make up our minds to witness. We are taxing, most absurdly, the raw material of such goods about 121 per cent, whilst we impose a protecting duty upon the manufactured fabric of only 10 per cent ; and it is less to be won dered at that in the heavier and least matured cotton goods we are undersold in foreign markets, now, than that we have not, long ago, been met successfully in those markets and even threatened in our own ! The manufacturing body can see no remedy—none at least which they think worthy of struggling for— except in reduction of the wages of the working popu lation. "We must have cheaper labour" is the spirit of the whole of Mr. Greg's communication to the Guardian. But, we say, let us first see what the abolition of the cotton duty will do for us ; and then it may be worth our while to pause and ascertain well our position before we plunge into those extensive re ductions of the price of labour, and that ruinous dis couragement W. our native griculture. to which we are urged. The prosperity which we are thus to bring about must be shown to us to be more permanent than we can at present imagine, before we are willing to enter upon an experiment so vast. We have been amused of late with some atnazing discoveries with respect to the management of the bonded warehotises of this town—the mismanagement, we should say—as having conduced to the prevalence of those disastrous fires, which we have recently had to deplore. In particular, we have been treated, by a local contemporary, with a description of the extraor dinary juxta-position of cotton-bags and turpentine, resin and inciter matches, and the doings of " cat rier pigeons," porters, warehousemen, and others whose peculiar notions of convenience display themselves in the placing of lighted tobacco-pipes in the interior of cotton bales. There is something extremely romantic in this style of journalism something extremely inte resting to the news-loving community, for whose espe cial benefit it is perpetrated. A London or a Man chester enemy of the growing eminence of this great port is irresistibly tempted to seize hold of it, as an evidence that the warehouse owners of Liverpool are amongst the maddest of the mad ; and that they ought forthwith to be proscribed, and their important inte rests to be sacrificed, for the simple reason that they are mostly composed of Protestant Conservatives—and that their -vilification .advances the outcry for bonded warehouses in Manchester. • Of course we do not pretend to- say that the ware housing system of Liverpool is perfect. We say, ra ther, shew us a perfect system of Nv a reh o ase manage inent, and we will be hound that it will he adopted. We admit the unfortunate pre-eminence which this town has recently acquired as a focus of disastrous conflagration. But we rather imagine that it may be accounted for, without attributing such maniacal mis management as that which is alleged against our ware house owners. We have, in Liverpool, commodities to stow peculiarly liable - to conflagration, and most difficult to deal with when once placed within its reach. Shew us any other port similarly circumstanced ; and we will compare statistics of conflagration with it for the past ten years. Cotton, turpentine, tar, and other similar combustible article's, are .naturally, from our position and trade, theleading articles of our import, and furnish the principal articleS warehoused in our port; and although, perhaps, if we had to commence anew the erection of • warehouses for such commodi ties, we might build them upon a better system, we have yet to learn that any town in the empire affords the same facilities—ft they were embraced—for stowing them with a due regard to their safety. 111-assorted materials are, we are aware, occasionally placed in too close proximity ; but whose fault is this ? A warehouse-owner cannot dictate to the proprietor of any description of produce the choice of the locus in quo of its stowage. The old system, so much dwelt upon by our contemporary, was that every merchant had his own warehouse ; but does every merchant, or any merchant, deal in articles alt non-combustible, or all dangerous ? The American merchant, with his cotton, has other very opposite commodities, which, under the old system, he would be compelled to ware house together; and, as to the lucifer-match fable, all the world knows that that particular commodity is a " rara avia in terris" in the commerce of Liver pool at least ; and .witit respect to the " carrier pigeons," we have yet to learn the system on which the dock-warehouse infallibles are to conduct their ciwn infallible scheme: It may be a good one. It may be a bad one! It may be as theoretically excellent as dock management is, and as practically bad ! We should not perhaps have referred to this subject for anything that the opponents of the warehouse owners of Liverpool could effect in our own locality. They are known here—their motives and their animus! But when we see their emanations of spite received as orthodox displays of the opinions of the people of Liverpool in other localities —and those hostile locali ties —we feel impelled to enter our protest against the conclusion which our silence might infer. An exam ple of this disposition to argue upon the non-repudia tion of Radical attacks upon Conservative interests in Liverpool, is furnished by the Manchester Guardian of Saturday last; and to that we now address ourselves. The Guardian, commenting Nam a letter in our last, in which the writer complains that Conservatives should allow,- a party in our dock trust to injure Con servative interests within the borough, remarks that " all this, we think, is very curious, and tends to throw a pretty strong light upon the working of municipal affairs in Liverpool." And, after a little blackguardism, proceeds—" Now, it seems to us that, taking all these things into account, the warehouse-owners have had much more titan a fair share of consideration ; and the fruits of the sacrifices made to their interests are be ginning to be manifested, in a way which must startle every man, of whatever polical or municipal party in Liverpool, who is more interested in the prosperity of the town than in the ownership of inflammable ware houses." The conclusion of the Guardian is that the establishment of bonding Warehouses in Nlan clteonly safeguard for the st ate o f t hi ngs complained is the of ; but r the circumstance—fortunately— remainses to be accounted for; viz. that the last two re otTurted in the WArChOtliKeS of the Duke V 11/ 441 ' i ; where there were neither " carrier pige°n6' nor any political rniBtoarogement, which could tend t t) f such reipaltg as are alleged to aCcompatoT the sritew ° the warehouses of Liverpool ! water, .MM...... --_ LOCAL.
