Look at the question of reformatories fairly I from this point of view. I myself, is eight mouths from this time, lost on one occasion; £6, onj another occasion, 12, in all, £lB by pickpockets, but my peohortion of the rate of reformatories were established, and every bey put into a reformatory who was now put into the dock, would not have amounted in the year to £2 10s. (Laughter.) Is it not a notorious fact, that the whole of the criminal popu'ation—the whole of this most abject and abando red class—the whole of these abandoned brothers of ours, for they are our christi n brothers, live, hut bow do they live ? they live by piching potatoes in Scotland-road—they live by stealing bits of beef, and by cutting off the feet of the dead pigs that a-e hung out at the shop doors. (Laughter.) I am sorry my sen e of humour makes me tell you truths like th se, so that they can be laughed at. They live, and wh it do they live by ? Why, gentlemen, you the tradesmen of Liverpool, and especially the small class of tradesman, they live by all of you. (Hear, hear.) Yi u are the men who are keeping all of that population talive, and I ask you there fore to back me in calling upon all the rich and poor of this com munity to find asylums to which those children may be sent. (Hear, hear.) They must live. The law of nature is strong in them, and live they will, and they will live upon you if they do not live upon the community at large. What right have you to ask intellectual, enlightened and generous men, to come forward and support reformatories throughout the town, in order that you may be saved all expense, and all these children locked up ? I say you, too, have a right to bear your share in preventing evils anl crimes of this kind. (Hear, hear.) If you send men into the Town Council prepared to spend your money to found reforma tories, not only will pecuniary god be thine to do you, but when you go home at night you will not, as Christian men, have io think as you d now, that there are thousands of children widiont tether or tno'her for whom you, as Christian met, for whom y ra, as fellow-towns men, are responsible before God, but for whom you do nothing at all. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlem n, the eptstion of reform hiens, the questisn of parks, the Tees:ion of public libraries, the question of saei ary arraegeme us—all these questions bring us to he cne great outs ion from which all she o her questions arise, and that is the question of education. (Hear, hear.) I would not propose that one single person, one single child, sheull be compulsorily sent to any reboot to which its parents did not wish it to he sent, and where the education, secular or re'igious, was not what the parents wished it to be. I would give every parent, every uecle, every guardian, the power to withdraw any child at any time irom the school upon the ose couditicn, that he send the child to school him elf. (Hear, hear.) Bat, gentlemen, for the 5,000 or 6,000 net yet fejevenile de invents," n I yet prostitutes, but soon to become one or tooth, who are about the streets at this moment—for these 5,000 or 6,000 chil Men I claim State interference and Municipal impulsion. (Cheers). I claim for those children that they should be sent to :mime', if they h the no father or mo her, no father 'and mo h r in a fit state to be responsible for them, or in a fit state to guile their prospects in this tif or their hopes to a bate-. Let the parents, if they with draw them from the public schosl, send them to any school, belonging to whatever sect, In Met sect I believe which is doirg so got d a wink as this, and to that sect I will give my most earnest help. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Rut if we see that th .y go to no sen al, and have no one resporsible for their eduemion, that, setting aside our duty as Christian men, I would ask you tnesely the question, whether it is for your intern t to allow these chit-limn to grow up pickpeck es, to be kept in prison at yo:Ir expense, to become without a spark of educ Olen, drunkards, crinsioals, and prostitutes, or to seed them to schai 1 and give them that education which is the one thing needful at the present del ? We boast. of cur civil and religious liberty, and we b iast of being the most enlightened nation, but there is this one foul blot upon as, th at we have the most uneducat-ed p pulatien in the lowest ranks of our community which any country in the world can boast of. (Hear, heir, and applause.) Gett'e men, I have POW laid before Toll my views upon all the subjects which occupy your attention, and the principles which I have expressed, I believe. Those principles are hereditary by more than one generation, and the views which I have laid before you, are not vie:vs busily teksn up for the occasion, bet sr: such as from long thinking on the subjects I have deeply matured. (Hear, hear) If you like them, the course is open to you—to send me into the Council, as your representative, where I will advo cate them whenever I can do it with sense an i judgement. (Hear, hear). If my views do net rep - esent y nrs—if my ideas are no'. yotir i teas, send rue back to that retire ment fr m which I have c one, and I shal go back gratified by the honnu- you have done me in bringing me forward, and grateful for having been prea.nted with the opportunity of addressing an audience such as this, of pre-claiming the faith that is in me before the largest, most enlightened, and most respectab'e werd in Livmpool, and of explairning my views upon that science which is no v the science of all others—the science before which all politics must givs way ; for wh: t are politics but the war to govern f ir the happiness of the gre , test rusnhur ?

And what is the happiness of the greatest number this moment in I Eng'and b the education of the 1 tweet of—l was going to say our fellow-Christi ns—hut if they are not our own fellow-Chti , tiars, they are, at least, our brothers. (Rear, hear.) Geetlemer, I thank you most heattily for the deep attention wi lo Which you have listmcil to views which may seem enthusiastic, and which to same el you may appear nev, but they are views by the dievelopment of which this country will maintain its intellectu tl suprernecy. Its muscle and its bore have ever been in the right pia-e, and is heart, too, is in the right place, if it could only tear asunder that veil which prevents it from feeling wh t i e great duty is to that rank in life which, respectable yourselves, enlightened yoerselves, all educated yourselves, you try in vain to ignore.

We have received advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail, from Calcutta, Sept. 24 ; Madras' Sept, 30; Hong Kong, Sept. 10, and Bombay. The following is a complete sum:nary of the important news by this mail:— THE BOMBAY MAIL. By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph, THE CAPTURE OF DELHI, The Bm l lay portion of the India Mail has arrived. The Bombay Times of October 3 , :d, expects that the rebellion will now be speedily crushed. The following additional details are g:v3n respecting the fall of Delhi: The siege-train arrived Sept. sth. Several batteries, armed with heavy guns, were established in cimnanding positions within a shirt distence from the city walls, so that the bastions could be destroyed by our fire. This was successfully accomplished. The bombardment of the city then commenced, and the Cashmere and Nioree bastions suffered severely from our shot and shell. The enemy replied smartly with wept, and musketry, but our loss was inconsiderable, and our fire was kept up with undi minished vigour. On the 10th and 11th September, one or two sorties were ma 'e by the enemy, but without any result. For two days longer our artillery continued to play on the city, until the 12th, when the Cashmere Battery, and half the adjacent buildings, were in rains. ThO preparations were no v made for the assaule and General Wils et, in an order issued a fee days previous, laid down the line of conduct to be pursued by the troops. N) quarter was to be given to the mutineers, but the women and children were to be spared. :::On the 14th September the assault was made on the city, which was entered by a divieion of our troops, who succeeded in effectine• a lodgneut, and driving the enemy before them.

AIIDACIOITS OUTRAGE.—"n Thursday, a young woman, who is a domestic servant of Mr. Preaton, of Personstown, whilst lookirg into tha window of a shop, wes, without the slightest provoca►ion, violently struck with his clenched fist, by the Rev. John Eger, P.P., of liirr parish ; at►er she fill he repeated tho assault, and she took refuge from in the shop of Miss Rickmar, where she fell lots a fit of hysterics. She was conve3ol to her m stet's house, aul there attendel by a d actor ; she was for some time confine,l to her bed from the eff,..ets of the injuries end of fright. We are not aware that any steps are tieing taken to bring this ontrage under judici.il investigstinr; !hough we have he trd that it was witnessed by some of the police on duty during the fair. -King's Cs. Chronicle. The East India Company have succeeded in rasing another large loan, upon she securities held by them. The amount of the loan is, we understand, one million sterling. It is believed that the million obtained will be despatched to India exclusively in silver. Thus the point has been reached when the deficit occasioned in the treasury on India, by the war, is now being met by large and direct withdrawals of treasure from the English market. As these supplies, moreover, are taken in the shape of silver, the effect produced here must be the more important, and it would scarcely be a❑ exaggeration to say that the mil lion in silver which the East India Compady are employing agents to procure from the Continent will involve exporta tion of a million in gold. FIRE AT THE LIVERPOOL STEAM PACKET COMPANY'S ST(REc.—Short'y before ten o'clock on S.turday night a fire broke out in•the s ores of the Liverp Steam-Packet Company North Wall The fir., would appear to have attained considerable strength in the interior of the building berore any eytnptons were perceived outside, and it was almost half-an-honr after the flimea were first seer,before assistance of an Effective character was forthcoming. The Police Brigade, with their powerful engine, were the first to arrive, but, owing to he diffiiulty experienced in obtaining a proper supply of water, it was some time before the horse could be brought to bear with effect. The water, in the first instance, had to be bailed out of watering carts in buckets to the men in attesdancs on the engines ; bet this method of supplying being 'round totally insdecriate tte police engine backed to the river side, and by that nreaue was enabled to keep a continous and powerful j.t on the building. The engines of the Steam-Packet Company and St. Mary's parish got into play soon after, and rendered good service. The fire-plug near the Castom-house was found entirely useless, there being no pressure, and but for the immediate proximity of the river it is probable that, , instead of a partial conflagration, there would have been a total destruciion of the entire premises belonging to the Steam-Packet Company, as wall as 'of those adj rising. As it is, property, to a very serious extent, has 'vela con sumed. It is sated that the premises were in-ured. Mr. Criton, of the Pipe Water Office, was in attendanceshortly after the alarm was given, and the greatest desire was manifested by all present to aid the authorities in pre serving order, and to give assistance in working the severe engines.

As to the success of the expedition, few in Calcutta, none of those who ought to he best informed, enter tain the smallest doubt, and if the heroic garrieen possess the means of prolonging their re,istanee hut a few drys long r, their safety will, in all hnmen prababili:y, b se:tired, It is not anticipated that the opposition to our advance will be of the same determined neture as on the former occasion ; in fact, two reglatents have already made overtures to our authorities to return to their alle giance, and although the offer of course was scouted, still the fact of its being made at all proves the disen'on pre valent aenorgst the insurgents. " At Agra all contitued well on the latest dates ; the country had been deprived of the serv:ces of Mr. John Colvin, Governor of the N trth-Western P: ovine s.

" C ,ruing lower do .vn towards Calcutta, we field the whole of Behar in a most disorganised state. Keoer Singh, the rebel chieftain of Arrah, has indeed oarried his incursions into where be was at once j tined by the troops .of the It.jah who had been sent to opp )se !Ant ; but his brother tTrumur Singh is still in Behar, and at the head of a con siderable body of men ; no opp Isition has been offered to la's progress. The sth Irregnlar Cavalry, too, from Biteugalpore, have been j tined by all the disaffected in the dist ict, and are laying waste the country in every dieeetion.

The result was that the Sikhs were not only repulsed, but outmanceuvred : the insurgents en`cre I Gya before them, and again piuudered that unhappy city. Sir Cahn Camp bell has, we believe, tak n the only effectual means of putting a stop to these thee:Mere by sending up a corn pee, bo 4y of five thousani Europeans under an oftlier of skill and experience. " Our accounts fr , m Delhi do not dale later thin the sth in , tant. We have, however, received i•iform lion of the effect which the count of the Cawnpore maiFacre had up3n the troops. It literally made th3m cry aloud for revenge. " The Panjaulo sill sten 's out in bold relief to the rest of Indio. There, wherever mutiny has raised its heal, it has been prororly and severely crushed. In no single instance h ,s Sir John Lawreroca failed of success. Tne 35th, composed of Brahmins, who mutinied because they preferred death to loss of cast ,' being pursued took refuge with the Swats, who n t only plundered them of their wealth, but converted them into Mahomedens, and then turned them adrift: the 9th Cavalry, 26,h, 46th Native Infantry, and others, ware cut up almost to a man, and Sir John has been enab!ed not only to maintain tran quility, but to famish a large force for the operations against Delhi. "Since wri'ing the above we have received infroaation from Government that G3nerals Outram and Havelock crossed the Ganges at Oawnpore on the WI install', and that all was well at Lucknow on tkc 16:h idem. The relief of the godson may therefore be looked upon almost as a foregone conclusion. " From Delhi the intelligence !s excellent. " Just before going to press we le snit on good authority that the 50. h Native Infantry mutinied at Nagode,.but the officers of the regiment were safe, for nee their so'diers not having massacred them Luke so many other corps. "Tae only circumstance that has disturbsl the t an qu'l ty of Calcutla d ming 'he past fortnight has had re ference to the press. Oa the 18th instant the government cancelled the flurkartis licaLse, thus vir utily suppressing the paper. It is a curious fact that the two rapers which until the a"rivol of Lord ['inning were always supposed to represent more or less the visas and wishes of the Government the Friend of India and the Barkaru, hive been the fi -st to feel the iron heel of despotic and it is • spoasil)le authority. For ourselves, we frankly confess that we consi , ered the Press Gaging Act virtually as a breach of contract between one estate and another ; we thought it 'Wait., impolitic, an I uncalled for, and we did not hesitate in consequence to express our opinion of men and measu es in language which we did not care to guard. We had that c mfidence in our countrymen that, we believed that n body of E •glishmea—men born in the land of frs e disuision, and educated wish tha same liberal ideas as ourselves—woald ever combine to stop the free expression of opinion. We can only now admit that we were mistaken, and although our sentiments regarding the great line of policy to be maintained at the present aide remain unchanged, and are, humanely speaking. unchange able, we shall in future of necessity guard against the use of any expression that might be convarted into an engine against ourselves. Our license was restored last night, after an interregnum of six days duration The subject is one wuich will not be again adverted to until some definite arrangement be arrived at regard.ng the prere." [summary from the Ca lculta Englishman.] • The last fortnight has been unproductive of an y B fu lli ng or imp trtant events. The departure of the mail has been pat off two days, in the herr, undoubtedly. of being able to report either the fall of Delhi or the relief of the gar rison at Lucknow. Nothing decisive, however, has yet reached us from either city. Our latest reports from our own correspondent at Delhi, dated the 2 1 3 h August will be found below, that of the Government is of the sth inst. Yet, although so little has been effected, although almost every day brings account of fresh insurrec tion, the fashion among offt!ial men is to Fay that the mutiny is in a state of collapse. We acknowledge we can se 3 no indications of it. Here an 1 there the maineers qoarrel among themselves, and oar very latest report from Cawnpore is, that two re giments hive offered to come over. Bat the whole of Behar is in a disorganised sate, and in no part of the Upper Provincss can British authority be said to exist beyond the reach of our guns. We therefore repeat that, however mu eh these men may qaarrel among themselves, and however desultory their efforts may be for want of s recognised leader, yet their numbers are so great that it cannot be expected the clunty will be tranquillised till the arrival of large reinforcements. In this respect we are b-ginning to imprcve ; the last week his brought us, the Welsh Fusiliers, a detachment pf the Royal Artillery, and the 93. d Highlanders, being the last of the Caine expedi tion. The troops direct from England will only begin to drop in next month so that Lord Ellenborough will be found right, when he asserted that they could hardly take the field before January. We are prevented, oy reasons which will b 3 otovions enough to tho,e who read th's paper, from commenting on the measures of Government, but we refer what we hare previously said, that a Specie', Providence must certainly have decreed tat a Mahlm dan dynasty shall not again govern India, for, as far as can bo seen all around. the wis dom of man has had but a small influence in checking this. insurrection Oae little aneclote we mast relate, as it amusinaly illus. trates this state of affairs. On the 16. h of May, is procianaetioa was published, declaring that the British Indian Government had no intention to interfere, and wadi not interfere, with the religion of the people. A short time beck a circular was seat to the Z :minders of Bengal requeiving them t state what number of cattle they could supply for the use of the British soldiers expected here ! An orthodox Tlindoo Zeinindar replied, appeeitely enough, "What is the mean log of this ? You have just declared th t you will not inter fere with our religion, now you ask me to be your agent in violating its junctions. The ref-rapist wio peened this absurdity prob bly never remembered that there are wealthy butchers enough in Celcusta who would be delighted to contract for all the beef required, if paid a little above the ordinary market price, and who would disturb no man's conscience in procaeing, sleughtering, and selling natio. In noticing the result of the trial of the editor of the Doorlan, we remarked it pleived that the real motive for passing the Gigging Act differed font the o nensibe one. It showed tilainly that n )t the native, bet the English press was the most aimed at This wit s confirmed. The Iriend of India was peremptorily suppressed, and only allowed to be published on condition of dismissing its editor. Alta cat every English newspaper on this side of India has been threatened, and last week the license of the flarkara, the oldest newepepar in India, way withdrawn, and the entreaties of the proprietor only induce l its restora tion yes:cede'. In his la ,t instenee the aetic es win ck canoed this severe infl ctioo, were not of au alaanieig or sedition., tendency, they were grossly persm tl and offensive, and might have fairly led to a prosecution for libel, for which the Sug eav Court is always open. Bat this proves that ruse arbitrary power, hastily bestowed un her pretext of State necessity to put dawn revolt, is al eady turned to the trretification of personal animosity, and one member of C euncil has been he .rd to say, that the pewter of summary deportation ought to be rcetored to this G verument. Tne year 1837 will be a memorable one in the annals of Indian history memeristle, as showing the fruits of mismanagement over confidence, and utter ignorance of native character. \You'd that it may be memorable too, at the cemnencement of a now era in the gevernmeat of this country It is a Tuestien we often ask ourselves. " Will the Government indeed learn practically the lesson which has been so rudely taught them." It must be pretty evident by this time that the knotty question, h .w to get rid of a native ar ny, has welt solved itself. The native army has saved the Government the trouble of disben it, by di:banding of their own accord. We might have coug ovulated ourselves on being thus well rid of an incubus that was weighing down the financial department of the empire, and wasting its resource. without producing any adequate result, had the. Sepoys not thought fit to evince their grati tude to their benefactors by murdering w men and children in cold blood, and committing atro cities which, hiking the former relative positions of the two parties into account, - the most savage native of the most savage corner of the earth would blush to bs accused of. B aeker then the utter darkness of the infernal regions, as dew.. bed by the genius of the poet, —deeper than the nefethomable recesses of tee deepest ocean, is he treachery that has lately beet displayed by tens of th meanie of creatares that call themselves men. There is only one thing we know of that can be compared with their treachery, and that is, their ceotemptiblo cevardice To slaughter the helpless and innocent ; to dash out th 3 brains of infants,' as was tioue at Neemuch and Cawnpore ; to set fire to ladies' dresses, and shoot their viczime while screaming with sgeey ant 'terror ; to revel in scenes of gtilt, bloodshed, and every atrocity that fiends from the lowest depths of hell can prompt men to invent; to do deeds like these, Bengal Sepoys have proved themselves brave and ready. Bet when the work has been fairly begun, when the cry of " Deen" has been raised, that war-cry that has c used more bloodshed and more mis ry to the human race than the lust of conquest, the ambition of wicked men, when they have a king, and the shadow of a king seated on his throne, for whom they profess to have sacrificed their all, the their courage ani s and the cowards fly almost when none pursue. But enough cf this ; le s us leave these vrretchee to the tender consideration of British soldiers, with bayonets in their hauda, and hearts bursting with revenge, and turn towards the future. We have already pointed out how two hundred Reo pima soldie-e, and three g Ins can defeat three regiments or mutineers, witoees the 13enaree mutiny, or rather this second chep er of , he mutiny, wile . ' bravely and energy had to recover what indelet ce or Lie - mpetenc), or perhaps cowardice, had lost. here is a plain lesson for the future guidance cf Government. If 200 English soldiers and three guns, can defeat three mu tinous regiments in o f en fie,eht, wcat must be the mere' effect produced by a whole regiment, and a whole troop of Horse Artillery. In open fight, when 111011'S pa'sions are roused. when the Sepove are c intending f r what th.y profess to value more than life, they arc beaten at the rate of about ten to one Euglish sol eier. In ordinary times of peace, it i. but fair to suppose that the effect produced by the presence of European troops, is five times at least greater than in a crisis like the present, when every mite must have made up his mind to do or die, bef he took the last unavoirlab!e step of open mutiny. Let tho government for the future act upon this. A European corps may he more expensive than one naive regiment ; but. when 800 Europeans can be more effective in keeping the country quiet ihen—we are afraid to say how many thousands of &Toys, seeing it is not too much to expect that the g ivernment of the land aitid the lives of our fellow countrymen and eountrywomm will for the future be entrusted to the ssfe keeping of Anglo-Saxon hearts and hands. How much the Government w mid save by it, we leave to the liditery Au titor-General, who, in consequence of the number of reg mental records that nave lately been desixoled, must he forced to walk about his room, whistling, from sheer watt of something But would recrui s be procurable for In nap European regiments? We fear not—not in such quan ity ay would be required, and not for many) ewes. What then is to be done, and how are the nu ueron4 offiters, now scattered over India, to be dispose I of, and how are their services to be employed? The insurrecion will have to be put down by European troops, almost sole!y, and these will c ome out from Et g land, ready officered. «'e cannot h e lp t hi n ki ng, t h at the days of the Company's. Direction are numbe re d ; an d t h at fur the future, India will be a d e p en d ency o f t h e C ro wn, Certainly the Bengal Sepoys have dene their best to kick the bail out of the hands of their hoaourable masters, and sen I it spinning th r ough the glass w indows of Downing street, whence it will roll on to tee foot of the throne. And if so, woul lit not at once set all difficulty at rest to raise as many more Qieee's regiments as the additional duty of holding India would render necs- B 4 rYi Rill put on- Indian offl oers into thorn, Let the dis tinction between Queen's and Indian °Mears be done away with f or once and all. Queen's regiments can be raised fast enough - it is a different thing with the Company Earopean Corps. A man will enlist for general service under the Crown, while he tteinks twice (and vary wisely) before he enters the Company's ranks, t o spend his best d ays, perhaps his life, in India, and fairly puts his foot in it. There is one thing more. We cannot help fearing, that THE FALL OF DELHI. From the Madras Athenaeum we obtain the foll)wing intelligence from Delbi : " By electric telegraph from Bombay we are in possession of news from Delhi to the 14th September. The long ' expected siege train had at last reached camp on the 4 - h, hal been into po-lion between and was severely pounding the Moree and Caihmere bastions, and had taken an advanced position of the enemy's, three hundred and fifty yards from the city wa la. On the 14th the Lahore Chronicle contained a mesrage from General Wilson, dated 14-h, 10 a m , Delhi city, to the following effect, as tele graphed to us : " Dead has been assaulted this morning, and fighting going on. Our column making slovi progfees.' " The official sumtnazist adds that this news is not very clear but the telegraph signaller states that the attack was succes;fal, and as the General's message is dated from the city, it would appear that he has entered it. Until, hew ever, further information reaches ur, it would be idle epeculete on the matter. Having thus alluded to the le'eat news received up to the time of writing, we will now notice events of an earlier date. It is sta'e iis a M3S age which brought news from Delhi to Sept 10, that more batteries would soon be at work, and much closer to!he walls, that the rebels were keeping uo a heavy fire of grape end musketry, and were doing very little damage to our force, bet that they had inflicted upon us a loss of fifty killed and wounded, while the siege train was being got here pesition ; among the former were two offi -ers The Cashmere Coetingent, consisting of 3,000 men, had arrived, so :het with Brigadier General Nichohon's re of nTerneits, the streng'h of our army before Delhi must be upwards of 10 000 fighting men. It i 3 becoming fu ly evident that the rebel city is at the last extremity, for it is reported that the mutineers of those regiments that had not murdered their officers had separa'ed from the others and left the place. They are said to have numbered about five thousand. It also appears tha' a flag of truce aas sent out, and that the rebels proposed to hang all the actual mur derers, imagining it is to be suppose.), that this would satisfy us, but ws are glad to say that all overtures were sternly repulsed, The state of affairs inside the city which was described in our last is said to still continue, a that when the messengers from Lucknew and Bareilly arrived to confer with he rebel king, it is no wonder that they were ' greatly surpr sed and mortified,' as the com missioner at Umball ah rep rted on the sth of September was the case to the several governments. Oo the whole, our position is vastly ime-ovsd, and it is more than possi ble that, before the mail closes, we may have to ree )rd cheering news. "Since writing the above, we have received from our Bombay correspondent the following very important mes sages by electric telegraph : " ' Bombay, Tue.:day, Peptember 23.

Diet PoTAT3 CROP —We regret to see, in both S.3c,tch and Irish papers. unfavour,b'e accounts of the general prey lence of the potato dise,s s, now that the crap is in the gay of being gathered in for eta-ing. In this and surrounding ei;tricts the loss on the crop has been cons derable, so much so, indeed, as to g..eatly enhance the valor of potatoes in our marlte - . Notwithstanding the defect:te str,te of the crop however, large Ttantities continre to be shipped for Liver! col a'rd elsewhere, .and this nags' ulti mately tend to raise pines above the average of 1856. Sligo .Tournal. BP.RICELv.Y PEFRtOC.—Mr. Flsn-y B 9 dle writes, to a contemporaryt—Observing in y ur paper to day a letter headed " Berkeley Pee rag a," front the Hon. Grantl.l fterkelev, containing an accusation of cmspiracy against Sir Maurice Berkeley, all his bro•h-re, brothers-in-law Colonel Kingseote., the Rev. Dr. Moreton Brown, end lastly myself, I trust that you wi 1 admit this letter, which is in rely to r. quest that your refdera will suspend th , :ir opinion until the g ntlemen thus maligned may unite and place before the public their version of what took place on the occasion referral to in Mr. Grantley B2rkeley's letter, far I do not hesitate to state on my own responsibility that Mr. Grantley Barkeley's memory has sadly deceived him with respct to what did actually eceur. Intim SEPOYISM iloanv !—We find by the following, which has been cupied by ou; C irrick-An-Suir co-resp talent from written placards, that on Sunday morning last were fonnd posted on a wall near the chapel of that town, and upon the gate of Carrickbeg chapel, that the aulacioui Sep , y scribe is again at work, despite the vigilance of the authorities and the reward offered by the inhabitants for such information as might lead to his apprehension. The plicatds have been all written in a bald, legible hand; and it is strange that for the third time these seditious writings should he affixed in the most public places without detec tion. We would ask whether the authorities intend to join the inhabi ant of Carrick-en.Suir is rffering some sub stantial reward for the apprehension of the guilty parties? S .ch proceedings should not be p rmitted to draw down disgrace upon s cit a respectable community as are resiiin' in that town. We give the placard as it has reached us: To the Irish pro:dr !—Fellow-Countrymen- After centuries of grinding oppression and wrong—he irr-rending injustice—and' sanguinary persecution—an oppo tunity has at length pris.naed itself if fre ing your necks fr m the iron grasp of your R:glish taskmasters. Do you mean to let it pass ? —or has the spirt of Naionality so tang nursed and cherished in the breas's of all true hearted Irishmen di. d away ?--that spirit for which Emmett mounted the scaffull, and Lord Edward died to maintain We ask you once mo-e do you mran to let it pass ?—when British :•,ower, lately Oaken by the Crimean war, is now totally annihilated by the victorious sword of the gallant Sepoy ! ! Now, when the robber flag of England is pulled down and trampled upon, will you alone be b.4ckward ? you, whose altars they have pr, faned—whose rejig on they have mocked—whose eons they have banished—and whose patriots they have exiled and hanged. Up then, wen r.f Irigiand !—up to the c y of Liberty and your Country, and make one more Grand Stria for the freedom of your native line., which Effort, we hope, will terminate by ranking her amongst the bee nations of the earth.--Tats FRISVPB 07 LIB ERTY."—Clonmel Chronicle.
