INQUESTS. DEATH FROM BLOWS. The ad-
journed inquest mentioned under the above title in the Daily
News on IVeduesday, as held at the Cock, Ratchff, on the
body of J. H. Levitt, was continued by Mr. Baker, when the
following account of the outrage which caused deceased's
death was given. John Pigrome, of Plaistow, deposed:
about six o'clock in the evening he was on the Barking road ;
saw deceased in a light chaise cart, driving at a moderate
pace ; a barouche drawn by two horses, in which were eight
or ten persons, was driving rapidly after him, and, on reach-
ing him, the driver struck at deceased with his whip; de-
ceased endeavoured to return the cut, when his whip fell
into the road ' • he then stopped his horse, and the people in
the barouche did the same, when several of them got out.
one of whom climbed into deceased's vehicle and knocked
him backwards, his head falling over the tail-board, and his
feet under the scat ; whilst in that position, holding him by
the hair, he struck him a number of blows about the head
and face with all his force ; whilst so doing another of them,
in going to the back of the cart, also struck the deceased a
violent blow, as his head was hanging down. Others also
struck him. They then went to their carriage, and, as they
passed deceased, cut at him with the whip as he sat wiping
the blood which flowed in streams from several places in his
face, and covering the whole of his shirt-front. It was the
most brutal and wanton assault witness ever saw.—John
Pluckrose deposed to the assault taking place at the termina-
tion of the race, and, on the party being remonstrated with,
they said " he deserved it, as he had purposely run against
one of the men, and caused him to lose the wager ;" deceased
said he had not —The medical evidence was, that the de.
ceased died from inflammation of the membranes of the brain
brought on by violence. The inquiry was again adjourned
until Wednesday next for futther evidence. The prin.
eines in the outrage have abseonded.—Drresi-
MINED SEICIDP.—By Mr. Baker, touching the death
of James Walters, aged 45, late a porter at the Eastern
C,nnties Railway. For some time past, he had been in a
low and desponding state, in consequence of his wife having
left him, twelve months since. He bad latterly been always
in a state of intoxication, and was attacked with delirium
tremens. On Saturday night he threw himself out of the
window. His leg caught the winnow ledge, and he struck
his left arm with greatviolence against the wall. His screams
for assistance brought several persons to the spot, who re-
leased
him from his perilous situation. It was found that he
had received a severe wound on the arm. He lingered until
Tuesday, when he expired. Verdict, " Temporary_ insanity."
—DEATH FROM IMPROPER NURSING.--By Mr. Carter,
at the Peacock Tavern, Holland-street, Blackfriars-road, on
Henry Bageley, aged eight weeks, lately residing at No. 57,
Holland-street, St. Saviour's, Southwark. The deceased, on
the afternoon of the 16th inst., was placed in the care of a
neighbour's child to untie, who let the deceased fall out of
her arms on to the pavement. He was put under the care of
a surgeon, who subsequently. ascertained that the deceased
was labouring under concussion of the brain, no doubt caused
by a fall. The girl having been questioned, admitted such
was the case.—Verdict, "Accidental Death."--KILLED
BY A CAPIC.—By Mr. W. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on
William Taylor, aged 42, a labourer. On Thursday week he
was employed on a barge alongside Schofield's wharf, Toolcy-
street, when an empty hogshead fell from a height of about
thirty feet, and struck the deceased on the head. He was
instantly removed to Guy's Hospital, where he was found to
have received a saidocation of the spine, which caused his
death on Wednesday last.—Verdict, " Accidental Death."
--Braxen To DEATH. —Also by Mr. Baker, on the body
of Thomas Snow, aged 51 years. On Wednesday morning
his mother, who was unable to assist herself, and was in bed,
asked him to light the fire. While doing so, his shirt caught
the candle, and was burnt entirely off his body. He died a
few hours after his admission to the hospital. —Verdict,
" Accidental Death."

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP.—LIVERPOOL,
FRIDAY.—The Windsor steamer, of Belfast, brought from
that port to Liverpool sixty more passengers to-day. The
paasengen have held a meeting to decide upon what steps it
is advisable to take under the circumstances, and, when our
express left, they were awaiting an aaswer from the consig-
nees of the Great Britain to the deputation appointed by the
passengers. Amongst her passengers were Mr. King, United
States 'Minister at Paris; the Rey. Dr. Cox, and a number
of other clergymen, who attended the Evangelical Alliance
meeting in London ; upwards of thirty of the celebrated
dancing children, the Viennoises, &c.
THE SURVEYOR OF TILE NAVY IN A NEW POSITION.
—About half-past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, the
night being pitchy dark, the Phoenix steamer, from Tenby,
was run into by the Herald steamer, outwasid bound, whilst
in the narrow channel of the Swash,i at the entrance of our
river. The iron rails and stanchions of the Phenix were
carried away, and the Herald received some slight damage.
The noise of the crash occasioned considerable alarm to the
passengers, and the feelings of those on board the Phoenix
were most painfully excited, when, after the collision it was
di-covered that Sir William Symonds, the celebrated Sur-
veyor of the Navy, who had been on board, was missing.
It was rumoured here that the gallant officer was drowned,
bnt we are rejoiced to be enabled to contradict the statement
on authority. Sir William had, however, a very narrow
escape. Ile was in the bows of the Phoenix at the time the
Herald ran into her, and when the vessels parted was car-
ried off astride of the cutwater of the Herald, to which he
clung, until his situation was perceived, and he was taken
on hoard, and landed at Clevedon, from which place he pro-
ceeded at once to Bristol to relieve the anxiety of his
friends. He is quite well, nst having received the slightest
injury. No blame attaches, as far as we have learnt, to the
commanders of either of the vesaels.—Bristol Gazette.
MR. SERJEANT TALFOURD'S CLAIMS TO THE
SOUL ITOR-GENEHALSHIP. —There is a vacancy in the
office of her Majesty's Solicitor-General. The universal
voice of the profession points to Mr. Serjeant Talfourd as the
very fittest man to whom the appointment could be offered.
We should have named the learned serjeant as an eligible
candidate fur the vacant seat in the Queen's Bench, but that
we consider that a man who has led his circuit for the last
seven years, or more, without a rival, and who has been
second to none in the Common Pleas (always excepting Sir
Thomas Wilde, now presiding over that court),—who is dis-
tinguished not merely by legal learning, but by eloquence and
power of expression,—and who has acquired a certain par-
liamentary and literary repute,—should look to something
better than a most laborious puisne judgeship. Already has
Mr. Serjeant Talfourd made sacrifices for his party of no
mean order, and these sacrifices have been ill, not to say
ungratefully, requited. It were well that Lord John Rus-
sell should think of this. Genius and eloquence, rare at all
times, have now nearly disappeared front the forum. In
making the offer to Serjeant Milliard he will raise his own
character, and the character of his Government ; for it can-
not too often be proclaimed in the hearing of politicians,
that by the connexion of a party with a great advocate,
honour is reflected on the party, not on the advocate.—
Mowing Herald.
THE CONDUCT OF TILE POLICE IN TILE.DAGEN-
HAM INVESTIGATION.—Such an atrocity as that perpetrated
at Dagenham it has not been our duty to chronicle for many
years, if all the circumstances attending it be but duly con-
sidered. Less reasonable causes have scared lone houses
from their propriety, and spread an irresistible panic even
through populous towns... The disclosures which have come
to light during the inquest on the unfortunate police-con-
stable, George Clarke, are of a character tending to shake
our confidence in that system on which we now entirely rely
for the security of life and property. It would be very un-
becoming in us to anticipate a conclusion which a patient
jury has declared itself as yet incompetent to form. Who
murdered Clarke we do not pretend to say, though we trust
this most heinous crime will struggle into day with that
irresistible power of emersion proverbially attached to
it. But there are circumstances incidental to the
inquiry which demand all the exposure which the
public press of a country can give. On the night of the
29th of June a policeman, who had marched whole and
sound to his beat, was missing. Four days afterwards the
body was found, in a spot admirably chosen for such a deed
of blood, and exhibiting marks of such brutal mutilation
that revenge, and not robbery, alone was naturally inferred
to have been the object of the murderer. Se far the crime
wears no other features than that of a peculiarly horrible
murder. A constable was not unlikely to have been
an object of hatred to a desperate character ; nor was
there anything strange in the concealment of the crime
for a few days, though it might not unfairly have
been presumed that the professional activity and necessary
sagacity of the police would have been sharpened by
tome promptings of the esprit de corps, and that so
singular an atrocity, of which a comrade had been the
victim, would have been marked with the most unwinking
watchfulness, and tracked with the moat untiring exertion.
But no sooner is the man reported missing than, even before
the discovery of the body, we find the serjeant on duty pro.
posing a tale to be reported to the magistrates, and adhered
to by the whole guard, respecting the incidents of this event-
ful night ! This proposition of deliberate and systematic
perjury—this gratuitous desertion of a most serious duty—
this abominable falsification of a story which it was their
express business and bounden office to clear—is instanta-
neously acceded to; and five constables go before the magis-
trates and swear together to a most wicked lie, in order to
defeat the ends of justice in detecting the murderers of an
unoffending comrade ! What shall we conclude concerning
the conduct of these men ? Were they ready to forswear
themselves to abet the guilty ? Were they ready to blink a
murder to save themselves from a charge of inattention ?
Or is such the spirit of those to whom we intrust
our lives and property that killing is held no murder,
and robbery no theft, if it should disturb the private
arrangements of the police—that perjury is so familiar and
habitual a practice as to be in request and useat the first call,
to promote any favourite device or secure any agreeable end ?
Which of these suppositions will the most charitable of our
readers be inclined to adopt ?..Suppose these five constables,
who so coolly forswore themselves at a moment's warning,
and who gravely came before the coroner on Tuesday and
deposed again, with great solemnity, to the truth of " their
lose evidence"—suppose that these men, insteal of taking
oath to an unintelligible lie, bad sworn the murder against
some guiltless person—what would have been his chance of
escape ?..Surely it is high time that more signal notice
should be taken of the infamous habits which this mysteri-
ous atrocity has disclosed, and under the influence of which
no 'man's life or character can for a moment be reckoned
secure.—The Times.

TIIE ORIGINATOR OF THE RAILWAY SYSTEM.-
Sir,—Some kind friend forwarded to your paper of the
22nd inst., an article signed " Yentas," den Ting my right
of claim to the title of the projector of the railway system.
Now, if " Veritas" will publish his real name, he will ever
find me ready to compare notes and publications with him
or any of his friends, as I am fortified by documentary evi-
dence and living witnesses innumerable, both at home and
abroad. However, without any reference to partial friends
on either side, I can refer to a better judge, a more impartial
investigator, the press of England, which has, after a most
minute consideration, decided in my favour. Let " Veritas"
give me kis real name and address, and I am ready to accept

the challenge, but I have no chance with a shadow, under
the assumed but imposing name of " Veritas." Relying on
your immediate insertion of this short note, I am, sir, re-
spectfully yours, TURMAS GRAY.
ACCIDENT ON TILE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—
Sir,—On reading the report, in the Express of this day, of
the inquest held at Farricgdon on the bodies of two passen-
gen killed by a train on Monday last, the cause of the acci-
dent seems very clear, though the evidence which leads me I
to a conclusion seems not to have produced any impression
on the coroner and jury. It appears that a luggage van,
witA only four wheels, was between the tender and the
broken carriage in which the two passengers were killed ; it
appears, also, that the train was heavier than usual, that the
driver had slasekened his pace, but had not given any signal
to the guard to put the break en the carriages. Sothat here
we find a four-wheeled van going at great speed with a heavy
engine and tender before it, with slackened speed, and seven
passenger carriages, and a parcel van, " rather a heavy
load," behind it at full speed. Is it not obvious that the
comparatively light four-wheeled carriage must be pressed
out of its course between the two heavy bodies before and
behind? If so, the inference is, that a carriage with only
four wheels ought not to be used at all, or certainly ought
not to be so placed; and that whenever the driver slackens
his pace he should give the signal for the hinder break to be
put on, that the binder carriages may not by their continued
velocity overrun those that are before them.—J.

RAILWAY POLICE.—SIB,—It waswith surprise and
regret that I read, in your otherwise excellent and temper-
ate article on railway accidents, in yesterday's Express, a
suggestion that the railway police should be placed under
government control. Sir, I have heard this suggestion
made before now, and from less impartial sources ; but what
there can be desirable in your view, that the government
unarmed army of this country should be so encrmously in-
creased, as would be the result of carrying the scheme into
effect, I cannot conceive ; while the mischiefs likely to
occur are obvious; the first and greatest is the divided re-
sponsibility ; the recriminations in case of an accident
between the working and the police branches, would drown
all chance of getting at the truth, and juries would be found
reluctant to inflict damages on companies who had not full
control over all their subordinates. Secondly. The same
thing would occur in the country, as now takes place in the
metropolis, i. e. when any extraordinary occasion arises fur
the presence of a larger body of police than usual at a par-
ticular place, the other districts are drained of their usual
protection, and the men are returned after an interval of a
day or two regularly " used-up," and scarcely able them-
selves to " move on." Fancy these blase; individuals neg-
lecting switches and signals,
_or giving the wrong turn
whilst in a state of very decided somnambulism. Moreover
in the rural districts, ill-feeling would inevitably spring up
between the rustics and police, which would sometimes be
found to seek indulgence at the hazard of the lives of pas-
sengers. I confess I can perceive no analogy in your at-
tempted illustration. The business of the suburban, as of
the metropolitan police, is to watch and protect the public in
general, travelling or residing along their beats—passengers
included; whilst that of the railway police, is to yield and
enforce obedience to all neccsiiiry and established precau-
tions for the safety of passengers, and protection of the
property of their employers. It appears to me that a com-
parison, at least as fair and germaiue to the point, would be
to suppose the trustees of the turnpike-road, to insist upon
the appointment of the driver. and conductors of the omnibi
travelling thereon.—Your Subscriber, STOP TkIIET.

LOUD STANLEY ON THE POTATO 11UP.ItAIN.—In an
excellent speech delivered by Lord Stanley at the Liverpool
Agricultural Dinner, on Thursday evening, his lordship said :
In pestling, ten does ago, through the town of Edinburgh, I was
assured that a potato had not beam exhibited for sale fur ten days or
a fortnight. Gentlemen, I will not dilate on this topic, and that for
the best of all posaible reasons, beemse I know nothing at all about
it. I believe, if all the most learned men were to wake am honeat
confession, they would say that they knew no more about the cause
of the failure of the putatu crop than I do. They know nu to to
about the diutare than this, that it is elanaerou.s in its willowy antl
lamentable in its effects; but as to its cause, its origin, or the mode
of preventing or palliating it, they are altogether in a state of uncer-
tainty. Ido hope that, notwithatanding the indications of failure in
the potato crop which have come muter my own curenisanec, when
during three or four yearn I held the office of Colonial Secret: ry.snd
when I was applied to by persons in the distant eland of at. Ilekaa
to consult practical persons in this country with left ream to a mks.
terious disease which then prevailed in the potato crop in that island
—I du trust that, notwithstanding thin universal failure of the
potato crop, the disease dues nut owe its origin to a perm mint failure
to the rout itnelf, but to some extraordinary atmospheric influence.
I am persuaded that it is the will it Providence to afflict us with this
dispensation, and I look forward with humble confidence to the with-
drawal, by Divine Peocielenet, of that calamity which no human skill
nor foresight can avert. lain the more led to entertain this rondo-
Won, because I find that amity practical farmers have found that
other crows have been similarly affected, though not to the
same extent as the potato crop. In the turnip trope in this and ether
distrieta, an extraordinary dream, similar to that which has infected
the potato crop, has manifested itself. 'the same observation applies
to celery. Ido not intend to Mlle any °formations on either of these
topics, although they are matters 01 the deepest interest to many of
you, who are practical fanner,. I rather turn to Srt what advantage
we can derive from these misforttine.s ; and I will venture to say that
the uncertainty tend general failure of the potato crop Wilt be no small
advantage to this part of the country. They will lead the farmer,
and especially the small fanner, to rest his trust Ines on the potato
crop, to the exclusion or other produetiona that might be miter certain
and advantageous. I know to my cost, as an Irish landlorl, that
the small fanners of that country have relied too much on that crop
-that has hero their sole stay, at; that failing, their distress has
been grievotialy aggravated. I recollect the time when it wee declared
that A turnip would not grow in this country—that the soil and cli-
mate were adverse to turnip cultivation, and that to atteopt
to grow a turnip here would be poked on as the height of absurdity.
Now I will venture to say that there is no district in England which
Ira yield a more remunerative return on a crop of turnip than the
district comprised within the limits of this society. In the course of
this evening I shall have to read to vou instances in which--what do
you sumiose--22, 25, or 26 ton. ! go • but 30 ton and 13 tons of
sweetish turnips per acre have been produced by fanner. Within the
Mateo! this modesty. I hliove that, with proper tillage watt dr.iinag,
of the and, a great part of thin district would be eminently calculate'
for the growth of turd{', which it was formerly believed could not be
grown here. I believe also that the generel inoistore of the climate
of this country, which moistures is Ulll:lrOtirable to some descriptions
of 'unlace, is eminently favourable to the growth and exteu.sion of the
turnip crop. It will, therefore, be deriving good from veil if the
farmers of this country turn their attention to the cultivation of tur-
nips more than they have leitLesto done.

PROTECTIONIST DINNER, ESSEX.

CHELMSFORD, FRIDAY Mom

The E-wv Aerieultural Protection Society, with a view to
compliment the Duke of Richmond (who wu unable to be
present), and Lard George Dentin& invited them to a
public dinner, which took place this evening, in the
Assembly-room of the Shire-hall, and which by the favour-
able contrast it presented to the ordinary character of agri-
cultural repasts, may be said to have contained within itself
a striking proof of the value of competition, having been
arranged, prepared, and served by the rival establishments
of the Saracen's Read and Black Boy Inns. There was a
total absence of motto, device, or decoration in the room in
which eleven tables, with about thirty-two covers on each,
were placed transversely. Mr. Toole, from London, acted u
toast-muter.

The chair was filled by Mr. R. Baker, of Writtle, the
founder of the society, the seats on either side being oceup'...-d
by the noble guest. Mr. C. G. Round, Newde-
gate, M.P., Mr Hudson, M.P., Mr. 0. Gore, M.P., Mr.
Waddington, M.P., Sir J. Tyrrell, M.P., Mr. G. Palmer,
M.P., Major Beresford, M.P., Mr.P. Bennet, M.P., and
Mr. lieneker ; the Rev. J. Cox, Rev. F. Hope, Rev. T.
Fisher, Rev. W. Shepherd, Rev. C. T. James, Rev. 1.).
Gwilt, Rev. J. Bullock, Rev. \V. P. Honywood, Rev. J.
11. Randolph, Rev. E. Edwards, Rev. M. Kemble, Rev.
E. Nottage, Captain Ileyborn, Captain Cox, Colonel Bagges,
and several other gentlemen from the surrounding country.
The Cit vinu ss; (previous to proposing the ordinary
national toasts, which were drunk with enthusiasm) referred
to several communications conveying apologies for absence,
but showing, as he observed, that the feeling in favour of
protection to British industry remained unabated. (Cheers.)
One of them, he regretted to say, was from the Duke of
Richmond, who stated that, since his arrival in Scotland, he
had not enjoyed good health, the parliamentary campaign
having knocked him up, and on that account, fearing to
undertake so long a journey, but cxpressiug his grateful
acknowledgments for the invitation. Lord Ashburton, the
Duke of Grafton, and Sir H. Smith wera also amongst
the apologists.
" The Bishop of Rochester and the Clergy of the Diocese,"
having been proposed by Mr. A. Majendie, of Iledingham
Castle, the toast was responded to by the Rev. J. Cox, of
Feirsted, who said that they had assembled not simply to
compliment Lord G. Bentinek for having laid the founda-
tion of a great and lasting party, but to raise upon that
foundation the superstructure of the party itself, guided by
this great principle that all due protection should be extended
to British industry against uncontrolled competition with
foreign labour—(hear, hear)—and that free encouragement
should be given to the produce of Great Britain, whether
emanating from the anvil, the loom, or the land, and like-
wise to British shipping. (Cheers.) He would venture to
include the protection of the church and the monarchy itself,
being convinced that the principle of free-trade and of buy-
ing in the cheapest market was totally at variance with the
presen-ation of the monarchy and the church, as at present
established. The rev. gentleman then drew a contrast
between the bishop of the diocese, who, he said, bad main-
tained his consistency as a protectionist, and the Bishop of
Oxford, who, while he professed his love of free-trade,
and declared that it was c .mnion sense, made that declara-
tion, with a mental reservation against free-trade in sugar,
because it would promote slavery. But the great body of
Quakers, who, as free-traders, went still further, and refused
to make use i f slave-grown sugar, were well-known to be
purely democratic in their principles, both as regarded
church and state, and he believed, therefore, if the principle
of free-trade were to be carried out in all its integrity, that
it would ultimately lead to democratic doctrines, to the
destruction of the church and the present form of govern-
meat. (Cheers.)
The CitAIRMAN introduced the next toast with more than
ordinary pleasure. It was no ordinary occasion on which
they were met to do honour to those wlio had so nobly fought
their battle, and who were still able to defend their interests. ,
Never was a party placed in such a position as the protec-
. tionists. Defeated by their own chief, and that chief since
overthrown by his awn party. Bat, though defeated, they
had still sufficient courage remaining to stand forward in the
cause of truth and justice, and by God's help they would
continue to stand by it till it prevailed. (Cheers.) He
regretted that illness had occasioned the absence of the Duke
of Richmond, but they had the noble lord (G. Bentinck)
present ; and they all knew, that he, and the party in the
House of Commons who followed him, had conducted them-
selves, when called upon to play what was supposed at the
time to be a desperate same, in a manner to call forth the
admiration, not only of the farmers and the labourers, but of
the whole kingdom. (Cheers.) It was for the purpose of
expressing their sympathy with the cause in which the noble
lord and the noble duke bad engaged that they were then
met, and it was with feelings of gratitude, thankfulness, and
respect, that he now proposed the health of the Duke of
Richmond and Lord George Bentinek.
The tout was drunk with nine times nine.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, who was loudly cheered, said,

r that, in rising to return the thanks of the Duke of Richmond
and his own for the cordial manner in which they had met
the toast just proposed from the chair, he was sure that
he only re. echoed the pulses that beat in every breast when
he expressed his deep regret that his noble friend the Duke of
Richmond was not present to receive the thanks his exer-
tions and zeal in the cause of agriculture eneitled him to.
The noble duke had been the warrior of the working day,
and he had better apostrophise the answer he gave to their
invitation when he directed him (Lord 0. Bentinck) to say
how deeply he felt the honour intended him by the county
of Essex, which was the first to raise the banner of protec-
tion, and which at the last great fight was unanimous is the
voice it sent up to parliament, and which was eminently dis-
tinguished above all other counties, for, if not the unani-
mity, at least the almost unanimity with which the repre-
sentatives of Essex had displayed their fidelity to their
engagements. (Cheers.) The members whom Essex had
sent up to support those principles of national protection to
all British industry, of which in 1841 Sir R. Peel professed
to be the advocate, though in 1846 they had witnessed the
spectacle of Sir R. Peel overthrowing those principles which
in 1841 he obtained power by professing—of the ten members
for Essex, nine had remained faithful to the county and to
their principles. (Cheers.) It grieved him to think that no
other district could claim for its representatives similar honour
and similar honesty. But, looking at the state of Essex, his
noble friend had bid him tell them how deeply he felt ho-
noured by their invitation ; and, in one line from one of the
oldest poets of this country, he might apostrophise the noble
duke's message to them thus :
'ln God's name cheerly on, courageous Mends."

The rev, gentleman who lately spoke bad said truly that
they were now met, not so much to pay personal comphrnents
as to show that the mind of the country was not changed in
its determination to uphold the principle of protection to
native industry—whether the anvil, the loom, the soil, or
the land of England—(cheers)—and if he (Lord G. Bentinck)}
could claim any merit at all, it was that in a moment of dif.
ficulty, when treason was in the camp—when the enemy, far
more dangerous than the foreign foe, was their own leader—
(hear, hear)—when deserted by all those in whom they had
been taught to place confidence, at a moment when the heart
of the country was—he would not say beaten down,—but
when the confidence of the country was weakened, he had
stood forward to rally the shaken troops of the protectionists.
If the ministry was false he saw at least one honourable and
righteous man among them, a man distinguished beyond all
his colleagues for high talent and great ability, and he
pointed to Lord Stanley as the pilot who would weather the
storm. He said to them.
Tcucro duce et auspice, Teucro nil desperandurn.
And when he was told that if there was a leader in the
House of Lords, there was no man to be found to govern the
party in the House of C.,131011T11., he scorned to think that
England was so degraded and so fallen from her high estate—
that having withstood the storm of civil commotion—having
maintained her ground when threatened by France and the
United States conjointly, the time had arrived when she was
so bound down at the feet of Sir Robert Peel, or any other
minister, and—he said—not dreaming that he himselt should
ever be called upon to take any prominent part in the move-
ment, much less that he should be required to take the high
position in the House of Commons which their representa-
tion had assigned to him. (Cheers.) The constituencies of
the empire will find new men whenever the old shall b' found
wanting either in power or inclination honestly to serve the
state. (Cheers.) Was he to be told that no other man
could govern the destinies of the State but Sir Robert Peel
Of Lord John Itionell—(hear) —or that English glory or
English existence must end with the political existence of
Sir Robert Peel ! (Hear, hear.) Ile believed he had shown
that though their ranks had been decimated by treason and
cowardice, still the remnant had eshibit.'d some power of
combination against those who had coalesced against them.
It was for the country to send men to parliament to help and
assist them in their struggle, and to take the place he now
held. The condition on which he agreed to serve in that
place was that every colleague he had—every one of the 210
members who acknowledged him for their leader, should hold
it as their duty to assist heartily, and be prepared to take their
turn at the labouring oar when his own strength failed.
The example thus shown he believed had had it, effect ; and
when he saw how men of too great modesty, but of superior
ability, had been thus induced to come forwurd in the service
of their country, he trusted the example would not be lost
upon many other men much younger, and others who were
older than himself, to step lorward and see if good and honest
intentions, and a determination to maintain those intentions
fearlessly, would not obtain for them that confidence in par-
liament and in the country which they had been pleased to
lavish on him. (Cheers.) Then this would be his boast,
and whatever the ultimate result of the contest, it would be
hie consolation on his dying day, that he had steed forward
to prevent the constituencies of the empire from servilely
permitting themselves to be trampled upon by a haughty,
an arrogant, and an unprincipled administratioo. (Cheers.)
In that county, as in others, he was confident there were
young men of talent and integrity of principle who felt they
owed a duty to their country, and who, taking an example by
him, whose ability was in nothing superior to their own, woula
be prompt to eerve theircountry and avert that disgrace which
must arise to England were she permitted to be trampled
upon by an administration altogether careless of principle
and political honour. It would he in the recollection of all
present that about ten o'clock at night, just three months
ago, Sir It. Peel had taken front agriculture the protection it
was entitled to, and thrown this country on the foreigner'for
its supplies of food ' • and they had no doubt seen on article
lately in one of the leading journals of Europe, and had, with
him, admired the modesty and the humility with which,
before free- trade had been carried three months, the
great organ of the free-Loaders had come screaming, crav-
ing and yelping to them, the Protectionits of Essex.
craving t 3 know how they were prepared to get Ireland
oat of the scrape into which free-trade had plunged her.
Without demanding a fee for his advice, he would say that
Ireland might still be saved from the calamity with which
she was threatened, by clinging to the hat plank of protec-
tion. (Cheers.) In 1807 she was an importing country;
but owing to the encouragement of her domestic industry by
British domestic laws, she had in the last few years so in-
creased her production of corn as to be able to export to
England wheat, oats, barley, and beans, to the extent of
3,000,000 of quarters. The Times said there were 4,000,000
of people to be provided for, and that allowing to each one
quarter of their own superabundant supply of grain three
out of the four millions would be provide() for. But what
if there had been no protection to Ireland in the shape of a
corn-law, with a monopoly of the English market during the
last forty years ? Why, simply this, that she would be in the
condition that distinguished her in 1807, of not growing
enough for her own consumption : and, her potatoes failing, of
not haling any grain to fall back upon. There would in that
case have been, not such a famine as the Times spoke of,
when the warehouses of England and Scotland were
loaded with gram, containing, at Christmas last, above
1,000,000 of quarters, being 100,000 quarters more than at
any former period of our history; hut such a famine
as took place in 1813 in Norway, when dependent upon
-
Sweden, the result being that in • single diocese 5,000 souls
died of absolute strrvation. The prophecies of the Protec-
tionisto had been verified in a manner which present cir-
cumstances rendered particularly striking. On the 30th of
last March old red wheat fetched from .375. to 705., and on '
the 10;h of August it fetched only from Via. to 54s —a fall
in price which could only be explained by the fact of
2,000,000 quarters having come into competition with British
grain. A. for the potato disease, observing that it was
general, and that it attacked land that had never been
broken before, as well as land which had been for many
years used for the growth of potatoes, he could only regard
it as a calamity similar to that of the cholera, and which,
by the blessing of God, would last but for a short
period—he hoped not beyond the present season. The Pro-
tectionists had shown how Ireland might be supplied with
food even in her greatest difficulty. He might be
told that they had only provided for three out of
four millions of the Irish people. He was assured
by good authority that they might expect 2,500,000
barrels of wheaten flour, excluoively of maize, from the
United States of America; but the wheat from which that
flour was made had been grown before the free-trade mea-
sures of the late government were introduced into parliament,
and they had then exactly the mine access to it as if those
free-trade measures had not been passed. (Hear, hear.) It
was now proposed that Great Britain should feed Ireland.
If so, what difference would it have made to the government
to have paid the duty with one hand, and received it back
with the other ; or to have got grain at a less price by the
amount of duty taken off. It was said that the present was
a period of general scarcity on the continent and elsewhere.
Such were just the periods at which it was madness to make
this country dependent upon foreigners. (Cheers.) Sweden,
Belgium, Sardinia, and Egypt. finding a scarcity last year,
prohibited the export of grain—taking care that peride
Albion should not avail itself of any portion of their supply.
The principles of Chatham, Pitt, 11 %Wasson, and Canning
were quite consistent with this ; so, until now, were the
doctrines of Sir J. Graham, who had told them that the most
foolish thing a great empire like this could do was to rely
upon foreigners for its supply. (Hear, hear.) Sr
Robert Peel had said that foreign nations, not
through a feeling of enmity-, but actuated by a
desire to protect themselves, would naturally enough pro-
hibit the exportation of their grain to this country. In tact,
every statesman, living and dead, including Lord J. Russell,
' but excepting those of the Anti-Corn-Law League, had been
of opinion that there was no safety for a country like this in
time of a general deficiency of harvest, unless by relying
upon its own exertions and capital. The free-trader said
that no sooner would their measures be carried than the
artisans of England had only to open their mouths and food
i would flow into it. Now the duty of two guineas per ton
upon potatoes had been totally removed in 1811, and yet no
potatoes had been since sent to this country, although, owing
to the failure in the growth of that article, there was now a
famine in Ireland. They also said that the people would
obtain higher wages and a larger loaf, but he doubted if the
people of Stockpert and Manchester would verify this pre-
diction. Indeed, he had received communications from
' Stockport saving that the wages had been reduced Id. a cut,
or 10d. a week, and from Cole, stating a reduction of 3d. a
I cut. And yet the price of the loaf was no less—a fact which
would induce the manufacturers of the country to believe
that they (the agriculturists) had not deceived them, and
that in mutual protection they would find their best pros-
perity. Sir R. Peel, with his hereditary recollections of
Manchester, had taken off the duty upon America raw cotton,
by which our West Indian subjects were deprived of
their protection of 5-I6ths of a penny in the pound
—a duty that amounted altogether to 68,000/., from which
it was supposed the men of Manchester would be relieved,
and which was only a trifle more than the amount which 1
• was annually levied on the income tax, from the tenant-'
• farmers of England. But Sir R. Peel preferred the men of
Manchester, and vet what had been the result of his attempt
to serve them ? On the hit of July, ISIS, the price of Ame-
rican cotton varied for 31d. to 4!d., befit! an average, of
31d. ; it had so
upon the aver
had absolutely
, of Manchester,

fairly assume that the manufacturers themselves would be
disappointed with the prophecies of the free-traders, would
soon believe that their confiwnce had been abused ; and, be-
fore another general election, would be found joining the
agriculturist in seeking for prooetion. ("Hear," and a
cry of The Malt-tax.') Unless the:, were prepared to turn
repudiators, like Sir H. Peel and the As :seriatim—unless they
no longer intended to pay their just deNb they must find a
revenue sufficient fur all emergencies, and ths.refore the repeal
of the Malt-tax would imply the reinstating' of those taxes
through the customs which had been removed or reduced.
He did not hesitate to say that the Malt-tax ought to be
taken off, in preference to the duties upon timber, sugar,
cotton, wool, silk, and a thousand other articles; and if they
could not get those duties put on first, they must only see
whether they could not have the Malt-tax abolished.
(Cheers.) That once accomplished, the government would
probably invite them to renew the customs duties, so that the
removal of the Malt-tax might eventually prove the means
of recovering their lost protection to native industry. They
had been defeated in their endeavours to maintain that pro-
tection by 112 gentlemen who had been returned to parlia-
ment to defend, but who, instead of defending, had betrayed
the interests of their constituents. He trusted that the
people of England would be true to themselves at the next
election, and never consent to become the slaves of their
representatives. (Loud and long-cootinued cheering.)
Mr. NEWDEGATC M.P., proposed the health of Lord
Stanley and the Peers who, in the House of Lords, sup-
ported Protection to British Industry, who, though told
that adherence to principle in them was calculated to bring
the two branches of the legislature into collision, still, feel-
ing confident that the feeling of the people was the same in
1846 as it was in 1841, persevered; and though for a
time unsuccessful, had shown a noble example: to the
country. Lord Stanley had especially distinguished himself
in the cause of protection to British agriculture ; his speech
in the House of Lords placed the question on its true foot-
ing, and furnished an unanswerable argument to the falla-
cies of the free-traders. The result of free trade in its full
application would he a great reduction of the value of labour
and property throughout the country, and while the
abolition of the corn-laws, by redUcing the price of
corn would ruin the farmer, it would deprive the
country, in seasons of scarcity, of its only safe-
guard against famine. (Hear, hear.) Then the bond-
ing system by which England had been made as one great
free port and the depot fur the world, could not continue
under the operation of free-trade. Merchants would no
longer have any inducement to store their corn here ; it
would go to other countries ; and when seasons of scarcity
arrived, the cost of transit would add to the difficulty of
relieving the wants of the people. (Hear, hear.) Under
the operation of free-trade he believed the maximum average
price of corn would be 40a. The price of corn in New Orleans
was 245. 6d., the cost of transit here was 104. ; and in the
Baltic, previous to 1839, the price was 235., the cast of transit
to this country about 7s. or 88.; so that, had there been no
duty, we might have imported the whole surplus pro-
duction of those countries at about 3.ss. or 36g. a
quarter. The honourable gentleman quoted Dr. John-
son in favour of affording encouragement to the natural
production of any country as against mere commerce, and
M. fluizot on the importance of forming and maintaining a
grand party for constitutional purposes—the constitutional
system, according to that stati.smau, consisting properly of a
governing party and an opposition party, each having dcli-
nits, principles, and an understood system, each system being
brought int) ily discussion, and constantly placed in oppo-
sition to the other ; and concluded a s cry lung speech, in
which he was constantly interrupted by tin audience so im-
patient and unruly that the chairman's efforts and the toast-
master's (Mr. O'Toole) entreaties and gesticulations for
silence were wholly unavailing, by propiciug the tans', which
was drunk amidst loud cheers.

Lord RAYLEIGH, in returning thanks. eulogised Lord
Stanley, condemned Sir R. Peel, assured the protectionists
that their cause was by no means dtverate, mid advised
them not to be again humbugged. N 1 hen once a famine
should come, and the manufacturers found the result of
free-trade in corn, there would be no more difficulty in re-
enacting the corn-law than there had been in enacting the
income tax, which was a much more unpopular impost.
The remaining toasts were •• Sir J. 1. Tyrell and the
ether members of Parliament for the county" " The
Chairman" —" The numbers for the boroughs in the
coui.ty "—" The Protectionist members of the House of
Commons "—" The Yeomanry and the Committee ;•" but
the noise and confusion which prevailed rendered all at-
tempt to report the principal speeches made in proposing
and acknowledging them abortive.
The party broke up at about ten o'clock.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 24.

THE CASTI.E.—LIMRRICK DEPVTATION.—On Tuesday,
at two o'clock, p.m., the Mayor of Limerick, Alderman
Watson, Rev. Dr. Brahan, and F. J. O'Neill, Esq., the
deputation appointed by the meeting in this city on Satur-
day, accompanied by William Monsen, Esq., of Terror, who
arrived that morning front Belfast, waited on his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant, at the Vice Regal Lodge. and presented
the memorial describing the distress of the numerous work-
ing class. s in this city, and entreating immediate relief, by
the prosecution of local works, and the supply of provisions.
'the Lord Lieutenant intimated that the plans for the
Floating Docks were forwarded to the Treasury, and
from his anxiety to have them in operation, as well as
from the exigency of the crisis, he was persuaded that
little time would be lost in having them commenced.
j As to the opening of Commissariat granaries for India
meal, his Excellency did not think it would be carried
into effect, as the Government were committed by a
declaration in parliament that no interterence would be had
with the usual current of commercial private enterprise. lie
would direct a proclamation to be issued, which would en-
able the magistrates and ceas-pavers of Limerick to extend
the works at Ashboume, and also to remove the encroach-
ment,' in the Shannon, between the bridge and Lax Weir,
the advance to he repaid by instalment. through the bridge
commissioners, who arc the present proprietors of that part
of the river. The deputationproce,ded thence to Sir
Randolph Routh, the Commissary-General, who assured the
deputation that the government would act liberally in aid of
any charitable subscriptions in Limerick, to mitigate the
wants of the poor; that at present the quantity of Indian
meal and corn in the commissariat stores was very inconsider-
able, but that several cargoes ordered on the Ist instant,
were expected from America in November, which would be
applied for the relief of the moat necessitous.
Oust! REPRESENTATIVE PEEIL—The Earl of Desert will
be the successor of the late Marquis of Thomond in the
representative peerage of Ireland.
LIMERICK PROTESTANT 01(1.11AN SOCU:TY.—A meeting
of one of the auxiliary branches of this society was held at
Newcastle., County of Limerick, on Monday last. The
Earl of Devon presiding. His lordship's eldest son, Viscount
Courtenay, addressed the meeting, speaking in the following
terms of the principle of such societies :—I must confer I
had some ntisgirings relative to proselytism, from which I
am now freed. There is • great call fur charity at the
present moment, but I cannot help recognising that
principle of duty which obliges us to provide for the chil-
dren of that branch of the church of Christ, to which we
conscientiously belong. I feel hound to support this society
to the extent of my means, not only for the reasons assigned
in my resolution, which declares our duty not only as men
but as baptised christians, to provide for all forlorn orphans
and bereaved widows of our communion.
LABOtiltß ATE ACT.
•

CLARE.—MOYARTA.—The special presentment sessions
were held at Kilrush on Friday week : Captain Studdart
presided. There was allotted for part of the parish of Car-
rigaholt, 2,500/. ; at this rate the whole parish will have
8,000/. To Kilkee was apportioned 5,000/. The meeting
then adjourned till Monday. The order in which the divi-
sions and parishes were to be taken up was decided by lot.
The expected removal of Mr. Sin) th, engineer to the Board
of Work., from Kilrush, has excited much regret. Lieut.
Fitzgerald stated in court that his cows had been milked
three nights, and that the people threatened to take his corn
away unless they got milk or food. The crowd on the streets
were perfectly orderly.
Coacomnor.—The special presentment sessions were held
at Ennistymon on Monday last W. N. Macnamara, Esq., in
the chair. The total amount of presentments passed was
41,341/. lls.
John Macnamnra, Esq., said, "«e arc not met here this
day under ordinary circumstances: we are met to provide
relief for a vast population, under circumstances of unex-
ampled distress. That is our object in coming here, to bring
food and employment home to the poor man's neighbourhood,
and I hope, Mr. Hill, that in recommending public works to
the magistrates here, you will take into consideration the
amount of population, and the great distress which prevails
in each district and neighbourhood in which these works are
sought to be carried out ; and I am sure the same benevolent
feelings, the employment of the poor, will actuate the magis-
trates and cess-payers assembled on this occasion."—There
was scarcely any opposition made to the presentments. Some
objection being made to one road, a cess-payer exclaimed—
" It is better for re to keep the people making roads than
doing mischief. Your advice will not feed the poor ; and
I'll engage they will make out food if you don't give it to
them, and plenty of it too."
TBRICAN.—The presentment sessions were held on Satur-
day, the 19th inst., James O'Dwyer, Esq., in the chair. An
effort was made to prevent the people entering the court-
house, but on the remonstrance of Mr. John Comyn and
the Rev. Mr. Hill, they were admitted. Sir Burton
M'Namara observed that, however people might differ in
politics, he held in his hand a letter written to Mr. Conway,
proprietor of The Dublin Erening Post, which he thought
should be read for the valuable information it afforded
at the present crisis. That letter was written by one
of the most powerful and extraordinary men in this
country O'Connell. Mr. James O'Dwyer read the
letter. Presentations were passed to the amount of 28,358/.
Some sparring took place between Mr. Russell, the County
Engineer, and Mr. Francis Owlet Morony. The latter said
the cess-payers complained, and with justice, of the manner
in which the works had been carried on last summer, which
were not completed with satisfaction. Persons had been
employed as gangsman by the officers of the Board of Works
who were not competent to the discharge of their duties.
Mr. Russell retorted that the Relief Committee were in
fault:—" They did their business in such a manner as to
obstruct the works, by having frequently sent in 500 nsnn
where not 100 could be employed. They thus overpowered
the works in such a way that it was impossible for the officers
to do their duty. Among many of these sent in to the em-
ployment we had all sorts of tradesmen—tailors and weavers,
&c. (laughter), in place of the feeble and destitute. We
took no man es gangsman or overseer who was not recom-
mended by the committees in each district."
DONEGAL.— KILMACRENNAN. The special present-
ment sessions for this barony (the third held in Donegal'

Esq., took the chair. After taking the chair, he addressed
the assembly, concluding with these remarkable words :
" They should place confidence in the government. For his
part, though us accordance with his principles he should
prefer a Tory government, still he must acknowledge that
the present government had used every exertion to meet the
coming calamity ; they have shown an anxiety to befriend
Ireland. The Lord-Lieutenant did the same. He sympa-
thised strongly with the people, and expressed his ardent
wishes to co-operate with the local gentry. He (the chair-
man) did hope that every class would place confidence in the
government. Let them in fine look up to Providence, who
could alone administer sufficient relief. We cannot totally
relieve the existing distress. We cannnot, either, remove
entirely the consequences. We must only look up to God
for assistance." Mr. Stuart was loudly applauded. The
sum total of presentment passed was between 47,0001. and
48,000/.
THE RATHOE LANDLORDS.—The " own correspondent"
of the Freeman's Journal writes from Donegal.—" It may
not be amiss to acquaint you with a fact which was omitted
in the special report you received of the Raphoc sessions, and
one with which the writer was perhaps unacquainted. I
allude to certain resolutions which were proposed on the part
of Sir E. S. Hayes, M.P., and hi, party (Tory), to the effect
that the assembled magistrates and landlords should petition
her Majesty to convene parliament, and rescind the present
act, and thus leave it in the power of the landlords to dispose
of the public money as they might deem best suited to Use
wants of the people. This was opposed by Sir Robert Fer-
guson, M.P., and the Whig party, who negatived the resolu-
tion by a majority of one."

MEATH.—Luxe.—The special presentment sessions were
held in Athboy on Monday last, Joseph lirowne, Esq.,in the
chair. A very interesting report relative to the state of the
barony was read by Lambert Disney, Esq., and ordered to be
printed and circulated. The reports of the several sub-com-
mittees, who had been appointed a week previous to inquire
as to the number of persons who would require employment
during the winter, and to report upon the public works
which they recommended to be undertaken, were nest read,
and it wits found that there would be 1,100 persons for whom
employment should be provided, and that a sum of 4,0001.
would be requisite to subsist those persons for the next three
months. The most useful of the public works that were re-
commended by the sub-committees were then selected and ap-
proved of, ands...teased upon the barony. They consi.sted of three
new lines of road, chiefly across bogs,which would both shorten
the distance between two market towns, and also give future
employment in cutting turf, which could then be so easily
conveyed out, and which would cause fuel to be cheaper in
future ; two of these roads were to cost 1,0001. each, and ono
6401 • three hills were to be lowered and hollows filled;
several old lines of roads to bogs to be repaired, and three
riven to be deepened and widened. The greatest unanimity
prevailed at Cie meeting. The sole desire appeared to be, to
discover what suns might be necessary to relieve the im-
pending distress, and to applot that sum, whatever it might
be, upon the barony, and the entire sum granted was, at the
conclusion, found to be—
For roads El 9'4 0 0
For sinking rivers....

(1,334 0 0
The suh-committees were found to have been most efficient
in their different localities in preparing reports, and giving
information to the magistrates and cess-pavers, and all sepa-
rated highly gratified by the day's proceedings.
SLIGO.—CA/tHe/RY.—The special presentment sessions
were held in Sligo on Monday last. Atter passing present-
ments to the amount of 16.0001., the sessions were adjourned
till next day, when the presentments fur the town were to
come on. " I remarked," says the correspondent of the
Dublin Free,ann, "that the landlords did not appear mush
pleased at voting so much money —money of which they
will have to pay a consideruble mtion, but, as if reckless,
they made no objection. Mr. Wynne deserves much praise,
nni he is an exception to the general class of landlords. I
must remark, and I do so with pleasure, the exertions made
by the Catholic and Protestant clergymen. They worked in
common, and did all in their power to gain employment for
the people. They spurred the landlords to the work. Not
the least sign of ill-feeling was exhibited."
TIPPERARY.—Irt•A AND Orra WEAT.—The present-
ment sessions for this barony were held at C ,hir on '1 wedgy.
Lord filengall in the chair. Presentments were passed to
the amount of 1,77 ti/. Two motions by the elesirman were
passed:—One to memorialise government to allow them to
proceed under the act of Ist Victoria; the other to memo-
rialise the Lord-Lieutenant to establish elep4ts for the sale of.
Indian meal in the serious localities. Sonic discussion arose
respecting the employment of the able•bodied exclusively.
The impression seemed to prevail that the Treasury Minute
did not admit of the employmmit of any others. A charac-
teristic display was made by Lord Olengull. A road having
been presented that would cost 2036/., he exclaimed " 20361.!
oh ! nonsense." In the course of the discussion Counsellor
Mulcahy said, " I call ou the magistrates and cess-payers to
piss this presentment, or when we go home the people of the
district will say that you were either unable or unwilling to
assist them." Lord Glengall told him lie could not allow
such huigvage to pass. The, road was rejected by 11 votes
to 9.

-- -
LOWER ORwoNn.—The adjourned presentment sessions
were held at Nenagh on Wedncwlay, It. C. liayly, Esq., in
the chair. The sums passed at the various meetings for this
barony (two at Nenagh, one in Newport. and one in
Toomevara) amount in all to 26,000 f. The following
resolution was unanimously adopted at the meeting of
Wednesday :
"That presentments for public works pursuant to the Ist Viet,
chap. 21, and 9th Viet., chap. I, having been passed under the sanc-
tion and recommendation of government, we conceive that the
government is fully pledged to the carrying nut all those work+, and

give full ettict to the presentments pamed, tinder let Viet., chap. 21,
and 9 Viet., chap. 1, and uphold that confidence in the effOrts

endeavour to ha-pine the ptople."

THE 43nn or ELIZABETIL—Notice has been given at the
Board of Guardians of the North Dublin Poor-law Union,
that a petition to Parliament will be moved there for the
extension of the 43rd of Elizabeth—the basis of the old poor-
law of England—to Ireland.
TYPHUS invett.—Fever has become on fearfully prevalent
in Kilkenny that the hospital there can hold no more pa-
tients, and applicants for admission are turned away from the
gates. A Mayo paper Mates that typhus fever exists to an
alarming extent. The number of patienta in the hospital at
present and under the rare of the medical officer very much
racer-do the usual number, but few cans, if any, have proved
fatal. The prevalence of fever in this town and its imme-
diate vicinity, however, is not attended with the awful extent
of suffering and misery which is witnessed every day in more
remote places' owing to the existence of a well-appointed
fever hospital. ln the neighbourhood of Foxford, and be-
tween that town and Lough Conn, molly members of several
families are in fever, without one to attend or give them a
drink of cold water, and funerals are seen every day going
from the different
THE OUTBREAK IN YOUGHAL. The Cork Examiner,
just come to hand, after detailing the circumstances men-
tioned respecting the outbreak in Youghal, as in my com-
munication of yesterday, thus proceeds :
"After visiting Peveral of the tom More• with the apparent inten.
timi of intimidating the proprietont, the mob prtooltsl 41000 to the
quay, where they speedily compelled some carmen, who were loading
the vileals with ties for exportation, to diaist and return to the
stores; On coming lxick, they met another carman, who, however,
did not remain to receive the injunctions of the mob, but imintsliately
turned the horse's toad, and tomicened a speedy retreat amiiivt the
dicers and jell", of the multitude. Not aati.rled with their suc-
cess in (11(14. instanee., they turned toward another portion of the
quay. whdte they succeeded in a similar manner. I'p to four o clock
their proceeding. Melt COMtillfd to preventing VIP exportation of
provisions ; and by the et-spend& (union of the inhabitants, it was
anticipated that no actual aiolenee mould be the result • hut unfortu-
nately their expectations were frustrated. I untlersti;nd, in conse-
quence of theextent to which the., outrages were curried, that Mr.
Kelly, .I.le, arrived in this city yesterday, fur the purpose of consult.
ing with the Cienend of the district, and obtaining a huge reinforce-
. meet of military.
The following communications from correspondents of the
E.raminer describe the alarm of the inhabitants, and the
riotous conduct of the mob, with apparently some little of
national exaggeration :
YOUI.IIAT, 'ft tansy, Twelve o'Cloelh—lt would be Milan:slide to
convey any idea of the alarming state of this town Riser yir.tertlay'a
meeting. The people were dissatisfied at the proceeding there, as not
a single resolution except the last, w 16(.11 was prow:sea by Mr. thirty,
was at all capable of being carried into edirt for a month or six
weeks, while the people are at this mtanent driven to frenzy and
despair for fowl. Like nien mad& lied with lionger, they ran
through the streets—they rushed into the breadethopta, and Num
the loaves amongst the famished crowd. The military were called
out—cavalry, infantry and police—but half the shone were
plundered before they arrived. On this morning (Tuesday)
an immense number of people from the adjoining parishes
came in, with hunger depicted in their fares The military arc now
mazehhig through the town, and the unfortunate people are at this
moment, while I write, in hundreds, tearing the bread out of the
shops. The town is in the most dreadful abate of excitement the
shop. closed—business suspended—groups aistembling in a few Omen,
not knowing what the mutt will be; and, unless the its Commit-
tee act promptly in petting a Pupp:y of kid, and giving employment
until the public works are in operation, God only knows what a starv-
ing people will do. Mr. John, whose exertions on behalf of the people
are unceasing, as I have just been told, convened a meetinu of the
Relief Conunittee, and it is expected they will expend the 400/. whili
they have now tan hands, in giving immediate employment. 11 not, the
irtult will be, I tear, appalling. There are gangs stationed at either
end of the town to prevent earn from coming to market —the portcullis
of the bridge is raird—and the town has more the appraranee of a
siege than of businost. I trust the relief committee will now see the
neetwaity of acting promptly and decisively, and expend this money,
for hunger will admit of no delay.
