Pt sox. airs. 24.
The Freeman's Journal of this morning, in • re-
port doom° nine or ten columns in length, puts its
readers in possession of all the savings and doings at
the great Cashel banquet to the fissh brigade. These
sayinp and doings, however, happen to have very
little of novelty, and but for one or two incidents
might well be described as " fiat, stale, and unprofit-
able," indeed. Foremost amongst these incidents
must be placed the interesting ceremony of burning a
solemn act of pirliament, not indeed by the public
hangman, btu by his substitutes in all cases of Lynch
law—the mob. The circumstance is than recorded
by the reporter of the Freeman:
At this period the proceedings (that is in the middle of
Mr. Neatly's speech) in the banquet•room were interrupted
by loud and vociferous cheering and shouting from the
street, and a strategists of light arose into the sky, illumi-
nating the horizon. This manifestation was understood to
have been cauhed by the populace burning, in an immense
bonfire of turf and sticks, a copy of the act of parliament.
eolith d "The Ectlesisatical Titles Act," the conflagration
of which appeared to be hailed with the most enthusiwtie
delight by the cast asxmblage who had congregated to
celebrate its easequi•s.
The conflagration attending this public insult to
the law, is described as having been really alarming,
and the scene altogether, it must be admitted, was
worthy of Tipperary.
The Very Rev. fir. Burke, one of the principal
speakers, announced his intention to commence the
preaching of a crusade preparatory to the next
general election:
Yea, priests of Tipperary (he said), we will soon enter on
• crumde to free our religion from the legal minutes which
its ignorant and besotted enemies would fain fasten upon it
—each one of us will act the part of a Peter the Hermit in
his parish—we will pre.tel. up a holy war against bigotry
and intolerani e. Lake the devout but noble enthusiast I
have just mention, d, we will, If necessary, take the crucifix j
in our hand., and, going b 4 fore our people' call upon them
to follow us in the sacred but peaceful warfare for country,
for religion, and free altars—and abjure them not to wooed
their votes fur any candidate who will not pledge himself
—II would almost add, swear—to oppose any minis try of
which the pi:fictions and calamitous Russell IS the bead, or I
the tail, or the middles--to refuse support to any Would.,
Sratiun of which lie and others of his gang form a part.
(Cheers.) And in selecting such a candidate, our choice will
not be determined by his religious creed. (Hear.) If a
hirWmindeil, liberal, and truly patriotic proteatant gentle-
man like n%) hon. friend there (palatine to Mr. Lawton),
present himself, he will be the more acceptable. (Cheers
for Lawless.) list no matter who he be, if he be not for
t. hippy homes awl :titan free;" if he be not, among other
measures, for bating conscience disenthralled from all
penal shack'. a, sad religion free from all coercive laws—if
he be not (or having all creed, in this country placed on a
hinting of perfect equality, and completely disengaged from
all connexion with the state—he will hare none of our sup-
port, and we will indignantly scout him from the hustings.
Meer, hear) P. is thus we will teach the Prime Minister I
of Enghind, whuever be may Ire, that it is not by passing
penal. laws again..t her religion and her hierarchy that Ire
la to he conciliated, and her prosperity promoted ; but
by reversing the present iniquitous and pauperising system
of governing her, seducing honest and impartial justice to
her poor awl persecuted, yet meritorious, people.
And elsewhere, describing the rather critical state
of equilibrium in which Irish loyalty was placed, he
said:—

if they were like some whn boast a great deal of their
loyalty, yet who measure it' obligation not from the high
authority who enjoins it, but from the extent of the
favours they neeive from the sovereign to whom they pay
it, the treatment which they received from this man (Lord
J. Russell) and his ministry during the last 'cation of par-
liament, would almost natural) y dispose them to seise the
first Lovourstble opportunity to shake off the British yoke,
to break off British c-unesion, and transfer allegiance to
some von n ign or sate, and establish for themselves some
fonts of unveiiiment, under which they would he sure to
reef ive a treatment to which their numbers, their impor-
tnnee, and t•tc•rnel and iminutglde justice would obviously
entitle them. (Tremendous cheering.) But no, our fidelity
to our mcrious sovereign is mistaken ; we have sworn alle•
glance to her, and will inviolghly keep it. (Mae, hear.)
The tomtits were proposed by Mr. Sadleir, M.P., in
the following order: "The Queen," "Pius 1X.,"
" l'rinee Albert and the royal children," "'the
Memory of O'Connell," "The catholic hierarchy,"
4,c. The lierkers were, besides the Very lice. fir.
Burke, just goofed, Archdeacon Latfan, Mr. Maher,
M.l'., Mr. Scully, M.P., Mr. Reynolds, M.P., Mr.
M.l'., and the 11ev. Mr. Mullally, who
spoke to the timid of "'tenant right," which was not
forgotten. Mr. licynoklt announced as an important
1B

piece of information, that the new association is to be
called " The Catholic Defence Association of Great
Hritnin and Ireland."

The Dublin University Commissioners met yester-
day at the .%rehhishops false, Stephen's Green.
The Archbishop of Dublin, the Lord Chancellor, tho
furl of Rossi., the Bishop of Cork, and Dr. Long-
field, cummissimiers, and Professior Hancock, secre-
taro, were present
Michael Hardy was executed yesterday at Lime-
rick. for the loonier of his wife.

'fhe following curious statement is given by
Somalrris ears Later, on the authority of a comw-
spontknt :
Sono Own-4 and a degree of excitement has been calmed
in a respectalde and populous town in a nut very distant
county, to einpirquence of it being stated that a Homan ea-
anger clergyman had been interfering with some of the pro-
testant soldiers in the garrison, not only, it is said, with fo-
rOprto onaeovetiglr occassubjects.
It
'Mote the brerraeks, detnbutang tracts through the rooms,
and meamorially lecturing the soldiers. A few days since
the reverend gentleman fell in with a non•commiasioned
officer of ono at the depots in the garrison, and gave Ids a
tract. Some tonere-atoms passed between the parties, endow
the announcing that he was a protestant, and express-
ing his determination to live and diem*, the rev. gentleman
became excited and declared that unless he embraced the
Homan catholic faith he would be damned. Other soldiers
complained, and the whole affair was brought under
the notice of the resamander of the garrison,
who instituted an investigation, the result of which
was the issuing of a Random order prohibiting
the party in question from going through the bar-
rack., but permitting him to visit the sick of his own per-
suasion in hospital, and ow such occasions to Le accompanied
by orderlies to prevent him from tampering with the sol-
dier.. Since that miler tram issued the clergyman pre-
sented himself at the barrack gate, and the purport of the
order was made known to him. Ile attempted to force his
way; "the gate sergeant" called on the sentry to do his
duty, upon which the sentry came to the "charge," and
declared he would enforce tho order of his officer. The
reverend gentleman was then conducted by a tile of the
guard to the hospital, on leaving which he asked to see the
commander of the garrison; hi. request was complied with.
Ile was brought to the commandant, who read copies of the
reports which he had received, and told his reverence that
he would have the order strictly obeyed. The reverend
gentleman then retired, accompanied by his escort to the
gate. At one of the masr aon Sunday morning last, in the
parish chapel, the commandant of the garrison atfor led a
teat" to another clergyman, who delivered an "elegant"
discourse on the subject. Some of the tracts which were
distributed have, it is stated, been forwarded to the Horse
Guards.__

Mr. Dawn, the eminent contractor, has addressed
the following note to the editor of the Northern
Whig:—•• Dear Sir,—l have just read a paragraph
in your paper of Thursday last, headed ' Flax-
growing in the South.' Sour correspondent has
been misinformed. I have not given up either my
flax-mill or farm in the county Cork. I am work-
ing both with as mach energy as I can."
The following particulars relative to the flax crop
arc deserving of attention, and will be rend with
deep interest by all who have taken any part in pro-
moting the recent speculations in that article of
produce in Ireland. They are supplied to the
Evening Post by a gentleman who has been induced
to engage in the cultivation of tlix in the vicinity
of Roacrea ; and although the statement is obvi-
ously made as favourable as was possible, it leaves
it clear enough that wherever there is not a ready
market fur the crop, the hopes built on the produc-
tion of dux were all moonshine.
About 130 acres (says the writer) were sown within a
distance of *even or eight miles of this town, and the strop
has been almost universally very fine. The best crap has
seed 4 tuns 1 cat. per acre. This was 'mid for in two
in one the quantity of ground sown was 3 sores
of oat stubble, ; in the other I do not know the exact quan-
tity. The person who had 3 acres, at 4 tons 1 cwt. per
sere, was paid 31. is. 6d. a ton ; so that the gross produce
ansciouted to 131. Ils. in value per acre. My own
crop was sold at from 31. 6s. to 31. lA. per ton ;
and fire and a half acres produced sometlthist o'er Zot.
(The account happens to be locked up, owing to my
meward's abeam, which prevents my being precise)
You have, probably. seen Lord Ormoades letter, showing
the difficulties that have been occasioned by expectations
held out last spring, which nobody seems inclined to
fulfil. Here we had no such difficulty ; owing to the enter-
of Mr. Birch, we have an excellent market for the
ilax in its natural state, and his works (on &benches Sys-
tem), undertaken when as yet there was not a single acre of
Mai grown here, are now completed, and will be in full
("cream as soon as the hurry of buying and ricking the
fins is over. Some has been brought here from a distance
at .20 ;gala ; at coarse at a very heavy expense to the

great God•cesd to the farmer. It always struck me that
the profit mast be very much over-estimated in general, or
elm how is the fact to he captained that even is the north,
at the seat of the manufacture, thc crop is not by any mums
so generally sown as it 'sight be. One thisg, I think, is
vin—that there is no chime of its being profitable,
Islas markets of the best diawiptiott are provided for it,
each as Mr. Birch's simapiag apparatus enable him to afford
here. If it is prepared es the old spies', the dieters tea-
-1 not afford the fell price pivot by dmee who practice the
new and more admistageoss method, and a very small
deduction from that pries will turn the balance against the
I crop.

MYSTERIOUS NiURDEIL—An is being held
In Killarney, on view of a decent body found in • tick
turf at Carratteeneulla, about our miles from the town.
On Thursday Mr. Dubordieu, 8. 1., Head Constable Camp-
bell, and six men attended, accompanied by Dr. Maybary ;
and the general facts elicited were, that the remains were
those of a male adult; that the clamp of turf had been
made for the last twelve months, and had been used within
• short distance of where the body was found, when a new
, clamp was built in continuation; that this rick was
I used from time to time for making lime, and the
adjoining ricks were used for family purposes. The re-
mains were a mass of putrefaction, some of the flesh ad-
hering to the bones of the feet, but the trunk was rolled
away ; the general decomposition was such that the
cause of death could not he ascertained. The scull was se-
vered from the body, was perfect, without fracture or marks
of violence, but denuded of scalp. The bones of one of the
arms were not to be found, and were probably taken away
by dogs. The place where the body was found was within
two feet of the bottom of the clamp. The upper part of
the garments were in tatters, and could not he distinguished
so as to lead to identification, but the trousers were perfect,
and bad a red brand on them, supposed to be that of the
Mill-street Union, for two letters were found in the trou-
sers pocket, from the clerk of that union, one to the agent
of the Killarney and Mallow coach, and the other to Mr.
Johnston, the drive', requesting them to make inquiry
I about a bamboo ivory-headed cane, which a gentleman, a
I friend of his, had lost The letters bore no date, but evi-
-1 dente has gone to show that this cane was found on the
12th ofJuly, Saturday, the letters being written on Monday.

WooLvacu-, SEPT. 24.-6mmodore Superinten-
dent Sir William Edward Parry, Ent. of the Royal Chi.
resat Victualling-yard, and Superintendent of:Haslar
tlspt. F. W. Beeehcy, and Dr. Richardson, the ex-
-0;:of various parts of the Arctic regions, arrived at
ole7rich-dekyard to-day, and, after going on board the
Lady Franklin and Sophia, searching vessels, with Capt.
Penny, they adjourned to the edicts of Commodore Henry
Eden, superintendent of this dockyard, and commenced a
minute examination of the relies brought house by Captain
Penny from the locality of the three graves found at
Cape Riley. There are four large coal sacks full
of rope, cordage, and canvas, many pieces of
the rope in excellent condition with the government mark
in them, the outer parts of the rupa only being bleached.
On one of the pieces of canvas was found the word " Terror"
and the bread arrow, giving unmistakeable evidence of
the *vessel the piece had originally belonged to. The block
used by the smith, evidently fur resting his anvil upon, has
also been 'nought home ; as is a piece of wood, about 16
inches square by 2 feet high, with an eye-bolt screwed into
one of the aides, and a hole in the top where the anvil had
been inserted. Amongst the articles found was a quantity
of charcoal in a half-barrel cask, and a number
of meat cans. The directiontioat put up by the
missing navigator was also bra t home, and was an
object of great interest to-day. yt is seven feet in length,
having a board nailed to the top, on which was painted
the representation of a hand with black paint on a white
ground, the wrist being towards the right hand side, and
the pointing ringer on the left hand side. It was found
lying on the ground. The gallant °Moen, along with Mr.
Barrow, were engaged until 4 o'clock p.m. in their investi-
gation of the relies of Sir John Franklin's party, and then
left fur town.

DESTRUCTION OF STURM'S TEA AND TOBACCO AT
visa Ext ISE OtIICE, LlTlMPOOL.—Yesterday we wit-
surd the destruction of several large quantities of tea and
tobacco, at the Revenue-buildings, In this town. We un-
derstand that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue gave
directions fur the destruction of the articles alluded to.
This is as it ought to be; and we strongly recommend that
a strict examination of all tea now exposed for sale should
take place, feeling confident the result would discover the
fact that tea is most shamefully adulterated. Some
time ago • prosecution took place hew for ma-
nufacturing British leaves into imitation tea, but we
cannot learn that any steps have been taken to pre-
vent " lie " tea being imported into this country. V. hat
are the Customs thinking of by taking the duty for a
compound of filth wholly unfit for use ? We think the
public have a right to expect protection in this respect, par-
ticularly as the laws of excise and customs are sufficiently
strong, if carried out, to do so. We are induced to believe
that the adulteration of tobacco is not so general u that of
tea, but we could nut have believed that such rubbish as we
yesterday saw destroyed could possibly have been ',mann-
Lactated into tobacco. The practice of dyeing tea is now
very generally carried on, and were we to mention the arti-
cles used, it would destroy many of the comforts of a cup of
tea. But we decline this at nt, hoping that those who
are guilty will take a friendly hint. Rice and other arti-
cles are now mixed with pepper; this is another imposition
on the public.—Liverpool &a:l44rd.
TUE CANTERBURY SETTLEMENT.—A meeting of
intending colonists to this settlement and others took place
yesterday, at the offices of the Canterbury Association,
Adelphi-terrace. It was stated that the Council of the
Colony of New Zealand held their last sitting at Welling-
ton, which had given much satisfaction to the colonists,
as it afforded an unquestionable indication of the intention
of the local executive to transfer the beat of government
permanently from Auckland. The superior claims of
NVellington had been generally admitted, except when
local interests prevailed. The Provincial Council Bill, the
main objects of which were that the provincial councib
should be established in both provinces, and that they
should be composed of one-third nominees end two.thir&
representatives, and the possession of freeholds of a
certain value, or the occupation of dwellings of a cer-
tain rent should be the franchise qualification, was read
a second time on the 18th of June. The debate was pro-
teamed. and division existed on the part of government.'
