OUTIAOE9 IN IRILANP.--011 Saturday night an atroci—
ous munkr was committed near Kanturk. The victim
was a perfect stranger, and his name is unknown. The
body was found next day in a bog-hole, horribly mutilated,
the throat and sinews of the arms and legs cut across. IC
was supposed he was on his way to Kerry to buy cattle.
A party of fellows broke into the cottage of Nomills, at
Castleblake, county of Tipperary, on Tuesday, and rock off'
a gun and a case of pistols. A man named Purcell was
killed on Saturday, in a fight between two parties at
'f hurles. The half-way house, between Ennis and Mil-
town Malbay, was wilfully and maliciously set on fire,
about eight or nine o'clock last night, and totally destroyed,
with the furniture.—Limerick Chronicle.

Died on Saturday last, at Broughton tlifford, near
Melksharn, an aged' man, named John Brown, who was
well known in the neighbourhood for several years past
a common beggar. Ilia appearance denoted the extreme of
poverty, yet after his decease a great quintity of wearin.4
apparel was found in his hut, come entirely new; and,
amongst other articles, a sufficient number to shoes to till
• wheel-barrow. It is reported that he has left property
to the amount of 3 or 4001. /Ls funeral, which took
place on "Fuesday. was numerously attended ; eight or ten
'of the inhabitants preceding the corpse, which was coceseig
by a handsome pall, with six pall-bearers. and followed by
numerous tnourners.—Provincial
On Friday morn i cg the daughter of Mr. Barnett, fruiterer.
Church-street, was decoyed from her home by
a well-Dressed woman, who) under promises of giving her
money, Sze. took her as far as Bow-common, where the
inhuman wretch took from her a valuable coral necklace;
gold ear-rings, frock, &c. saying she took them for .safety;
as the place was much infeited with thieves. In this state
she left her, promising te,ietprn soon. Fortunetaly the cltild
was discovered by a yiSal4 man, who restored het to her
disconsolate friends about teen clock at t Wit. Frost the
description given of the women, ,it is hoped that the will
soon be brought to Judie.

'1 Le news from Greece is rather unfavourable to the
Patriots. It is stated that REDSCH/D PACIIA, having
been reinforced, has again assumed a formidable attitude,
and returned to the vicinity of Missolonglii, with the in-
tention of renewing the siege of that place. There is no
information of any kind from the Mores.
The King of Porruosa has lately conferred upon the
nephew of M. HYDE DI NEI:VILLE the dignity of a
Grandee, for his services in defeating the conspiracy of the
ultra royalists on the 30th of April, 1824.
The gadrid Gazette of the 19th ult. publishes the de-
tails of the presentation of Mr. Evartr.vr, the new Mi-
niver from the United States to the King of SPAIN. The
address of the American Envoy was to the following
eff?•ct

" Sire, la pc:seating to your Majesty my credentials, I flatter
myself that your Majesty will deign to receive me with the same
good:ices as my predecessors, whom I will endeavour to imitate,
Cy d:schsrging my duty in a manner agreeable to your Majesty.
The President of the United States has charged me to give the
weer positive assurances to your Majesty, of the sentiments of re-
ipect and good-will which he and the people of the United States
entertain towards your person, your Royal Family, and the
britntsli nation. The President is desirous of co-opersting with
your Majesty in cementing those relations of friendship which
exist between the two nations, and which their geographical past-
hen ought to induce them to cultivate. Nature, in rendering them
ceighbours in several important points of their possessions, seems
to invite them to be friends. The Government of the United
States will spare no pains to accomplish this object, and it hopes
lbs.:the feeltugs of your Majesty's heart are in unison wilt those
of its os,n.

• The President has given me the necessary power to treat on
some questions of detail, which have lately been raised between
the two Governments. I shall deem myself fortunate if I can pro-

wine their common good.

I pray your Majesty to deign to accept the homage of my per-
sonal sentiments of profound respect and absolute devotion."

. From the stiff Republican envoy of a Government in
alliance with his revolted subjects, it must b? admitted that
this address is personally as flattering as FENDINAND
could have expected. The expedition for flavannah had
not sailed from Ferrol on the 14th ult. The best course
probably would be, not to send it at all under present cir-
cuinstanci.s. Tbe soldiery are already in a state of mutiny,
sod are watching only loran opportunity of revolting. This
i 3 not a force on which the Royal Government can rely for
tli- maintenance of its authority in Cuba.

TIITESTE, SEPT. 15.

The thestrerof war in Western Greece, which had beta a long
time in Livadia, is now removed from that province. The forcer
of the two parties, which weeklong assembled there, and laid waste
the country in every direction, are. now collected in other parts of
Greece.

Itedschid Pacha, to whcm the Porto-tad confided the direction
of all the military operations to the North of the Peloponnews,
and was to cause the (corps of Thessaly and Agrapont to pene-
tratel/

the Chill of Lepanto, where they were to in Ibrahim Paella, has
suddenly changed his plan, or rather bas made it subordinate
to the particular plan of his uwn airy& ' ftedschid had at first
Irna,qited that nothing would be more easy than to make himself
Master of Nissuloughi, and thence to proceed to Paints. But
he has been d:aappointed in his expectation ; he has at length
become sensible that he could not attain his object, without de-
veloping great resources. in consequence, he has successively
I Called into Etolia the Tareo-Albanian corps which had penetrated
Into Livadia, to reinforce his army, leaving only a few uoops at
Bedouins ; these latter very soon repassed the Thermopyla.
The Pacha of Ncropont, on his part, having been obliged to
send away the auxiliary corps which bad been detached from
Thessaly to second his operations, was reduced to his own troops,
which were destined entirely for the garrisons of the fortresses in
Eubcrs.

By all these movements the detached corps of the Greeks, which
were to corer the Isthmus of Corinth, and which after several san-
guinary actions had regained possession of Thebes, Salons, and
Lidortki, found themselves at liberty. Two small corps of ob-
servation have been left at Thebes and Salons as a cheek orrNegro-
pont.and Lepanto. All the other corps have marched away ; those
Of General Gours by way of Corinth into the Mores, and those of
Cfenerallktralskaki by way of Cosima into Doha. The first had
advanced ICA rgoa, whence it was to march towards Caritene and
Tripolizza, while the second should reach the neighbourhood of
Missolonghi, wherein has done great injury to the Turks.
But in the interval Bedschid Paella had been joined by the corps
of reserve stationed at Larissa, to meet which he went as far ns
Carrassara, and after having received all his reinforcements, he is
again in a formidable attitude. According to the last accounts, he
had attacked the Creek General Karaiskaki, and driven him back
to Cashts, while another corp of his army has dispersed the Greek
guerillas under the command of Zorga. lie has on this again col•
lected the greater.part of his troops in the vicinity of 3lissolonghi,
to continue his attacks on that important piece.

fly the extracts. from the Oriental Spectator, in another
column, it will be seen that Commodore 11a5t11.7014, who
was lately represented as having identified himself with
the Greek Patriots, has been obliged, in defence of the
interests of British commerce, to blockade the port of
Hydra. This fact is a complete answer to all the state-
ments which have recently appeared in the French and
German Papers. Icawaist PACIIA is evidently in a cri-
tical situation in the centre of the Mores. By union and
energy the Patriots may yet bring this campaign to a vic-
torious conclusion, decisive of the struggle in which they
are engaged. _

All who know Mr. Owes will give him credit for the
purest intent ions, whatever may be the new scheme ofsocicty
which he lays down for the happiness of man. Ile devotes
himself to the cause with a perseverance which demands
great sacrifices, and he makes those sacrifices with a readi-
ness that proves him to be truly sincere. lie would bring
us back again to that primitive stage of society when

"Every rood of ground maintained its man"—
when, of course, the only soeptres of Government were
the spindle and the spade, and a commonwealth of fellow-
labourers, mutually supporting and supported, made up
the whole community. It is with a view of leading us
back into this enviable state that the LONDON Co-o rips-
TIVE SOCIETY," with RODERT OWEN et their head, are
now organizing a system for the forriation of their new
communities. IVe gave an accotnt, at great length, in the
British Press of Tuesday last, of the first meeting of this
Society, which was called together by a printed circular,
inviting

" Those whn nre;sinterely desirous of Improving the condition
of mankind in general, and those especially who suffer the most
from the Innumerable and complicated evils, which must continue
to exist while society remains as at present constituted, are ear-
nestly Invited, by the London Co-operative Society, to investigate
the merits of their new system of social arrangements."

There is a manliness on the part of the Society in thus
challenging investigation into their system, which shows
at least an honest conviction that it will bear it. We will
proceed to try it by the test of common sense ; if it will
stand tit, touch we shall then—so fac u our vote is con-
cerned—let it pass for sterling. The Report of the Com-
mittee, read from the Chair, by Dr. TUCIE R, the better
to assist the judgment "of the middling and operative
classes," contrasts what it describes to be, the present
system of society, with that which it is intended to intro-
duce in the place of it.
" The basis of the present state of society Is competition. Every
one seeks his individual interest, and endeavours to acquire as
much wealth as possible for his own exclusive benefit ; but as all
aro pursuing the same end by similar means, their efforts necessa.
rily counteract each other ; life is rendered a continual struggle—
tne discoveries and improvements of science, and the energies of
human nature are frequently not merely wasted, but become greatly
injurious in their operations—great inequalities are produced—and
while a few succeed in realising immense fortunes, the great body
of the people Is reduced to a state of penury, and of unceasing se.
requited toil, and ever, the few are not rendered happy.
" The fundamental principles of the new system, on the con.
tray, arc, mutual co-operatics in the production, and perfiet
equality in the distribution, of all the means of enjoyment ; prin-
ciples that, by uniting the individual and social interests of man-
kind (which ought never to have been separated), will lead to the
highest possible state of human happiness, and remove all the ob.
stacks, physical and moral, by which its attainment has been
hiterto retarded."

Well, do we mean to deny that this would be a
most advantageous exchange? By no means. But there
is one thing needful to the bringing about this " highest
possilik state cf human happiness, and miming all the
obstacles, physical and mei. :1, which has hitherto retarded
its attainment;" and that is, AN ENTIRE CHANGE
IN THE MORAL CONSTITUTION OP MAN. Until this
has taken place, we shall not feel inclined to put down our
natnes for admission in this New Jerusaletn. Ambition,
envy, rapacity, selfishness, sensual pleasures—all these, and
many more co-operatives, rule and reign so extensively, and
have borne such triumphant sway from the time, whereof—
to use the lawyer's phrase—the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary, that u Ail we find diese evil agents
are fast laid by the heels--uutil we actually behold SATAN
bound hand and foot, we shall not fancy ourselves safe in
parting with what comforts we have in exchange for all
these precious promises. The enjoyments to be had under
this paw system of society are so glowingly painted. that—
if our heads were weal—we should presently forsake our
old competitors, to join this "little heaven below," and
become share-holders in the NEW COMMUNION.

It is the error of most reformers to imagine that they
hare nothing more to do than to point out clil2, and to

propose remedies; and, that this being done, regeneration
follows of course. Mr. Ow EN talks and reasons—if, indeed,
he can be said to reason—as if the whole of nature were a
plastic body, which would accommodate itself to whatever
impressions it pleased his philanthropy to make upon it.
He seems to regard himself as the Potter, and mankind as
so much day in his hands. Nay more, he deems it pos-
sible for every man, whenever he is inclined, not only to
reverse his own feelings and habits, but to alter, should he
so choose, that state of things in which he was born and
bred ;
"' My friends, at this hour you aro living in the midst of the
most irrational circumstances flat can passihly exist. You wish
to promote your happiness, but you are living In circumstances
which ►re alike pernicious both to the highest and the lowestindivi.
duali n the country. ►'ill you always remain thus ? Ilave you no
desire to alter this state of things, and to promote your own hap-
piness_ir you have, it is eery earn la accomplish. You have
little more then to will It, to surround yourselves with circum-
stances the most desirable that can be wished."

This is really so absurd as not even to deserve the name
of theory. It is so visionary as to be unintelligible. Every
man knerwe, who thinks et all, that he cannot snake himself
at uid the character he pleases; it would be well, no
doubt, if all that was evil in the circumstances that sur-
rounded him would depart at his bidding; hut would any
man be considered sound in his head that should confident.
ly give the word of command ? That any man, or number
of men, may be placed in situations favourable to the cul-
tivation of every better feeling of their nature, is certain;
it is also cent:it that a society may be constructed with a
view to this, with great good effect. lie who killed a
bird -that took shelter in his haus:" could not become a
memher of the A ROPAG es of Athens. Such an exclusibn
was well contrived to cherish the feeling of humanity, and
its effect could not but be useful. Every institution which
tends to ameliorate the condition of the people win) lire
under it is well worth supporting. Eat to lay the ground-
work of a new system of political society, on miracles to be
worked on our moral nature—to take it for granted that
any man can, at will, infuse into himself new principles of
thinking and acting,—such projectors, instead of construct-
ing an edifice within fifty miles of London after the model
laid before them by Mr. OWEN, had better, at once, retire
to St. Luxes, that is ready built, and settle their arrange-
ments in their own way.
The society of Co-operatives professedly aim to strike
! ont of their system all those motives that have hitherto
governed the conduct of men in society. All the accus-
tomed principles of commercial dealing are to be exploded,
as the source of all crime. They intend that tho inequality
of wealth shall await its doom from their exertions. The
Articles of agreement for the formation of their community,
for the purpose of readier circulation among the working
classes, are sold at the small price of three pence. All.
TICLE the, first, after observing on the present state of so-
ciety, and the misery, vice, and crime that are found in
it, proceeds to declare that
" Whereas these evils appear to us to originate for the most part
in the system of individual competition and private accumulation,
with the endless restraints and penalties, legal and social, to which
they give birth, stimulating men to acquire wealth by any means,
though at the expense of the Wear, 'the happiness, and even the
lives, of their fellow-creatures."

But without the spirit of individual competition, what
would have been the present condition of society? To what
else do we owe our improvement in arts—in science—in
manufactures—in machinery—in all that ministeis to the
convenience, or that adds to the comfort of life? What
should we have been at this day, had not a kind and
benevolent Providence interwoven this stimulus into the
frame of our nature, as the incentive to our industry ?
As to the wealth of the agicultural and commercial cati_
Wish, the poorer order. are taught to look upon it as so
much of sinful accumulation ; ail the privations which it
may be their lot to struggle with, are placed to that ac-
count:

" Whereas almost all the pernicious passions, vices, and crimes.
of society proceed from the excessive inequality of wealth (the in.
evitalle effect of such individual competition) which entails want,
ignorance, envy, anxieties, frauds, thefts, and all the other evils
of poverty, on NIXE-TENTIIIi of mankind—and avarice, op.
pression, idleness, ennui, selfish sensuality, with all the evils of in-
active repletion, on the other tenth.--leaving to almost none a re-
lish for intellectual and social pleasures, founded en the tranquil
and secure enjoyment of real comforts, appreciated at their real
value, their power to produce happiness compared with the trouble
of producing them."

In a great commercial kingdom like our own, the in-
equality of wealth is the necessary result of the security of
property and the guardianship of the laws. To habituate
the lUbcuring classes to regard it as the great barrier which
stands between them and the reward of their industry—to
denounce the whole scheme of Government under which
wealth is thus accumulated, as no better than a sanction
for so much oppression, ands protection for so much plun-
der—is to preacb,in language plain enough to be understood,
that doctrine of democratical equalization which leads to the
destruction of all property, snd the subversion of all law.
There Is no rot-ale-house in any manufacturing town in
the kingdom in which the doctrine here laid down is not
capable of being carried out to tho full length of its infe..
renew

" Whereas it Is well ascertained that a competent Dumber of in-
dustrious Individuals can supply in abundance all the necessaries
and comforts of life to each other ; and

" Whereas It appears to us that in lieu of the existing system of
Individual Competition, a system of Mutual Co-operation In the
production of wealth, and of equality in itv dietributlon, would
remove the greater portion of the evils Binder which society at present
:skiffs."

What plate Is not all this calculated to produce? If Mr.
Ow sx and the CO-OPIESIATIF/9 choose to indulge in dreams
of imaginary perfection, they are at liberty to do so. If they
choose to spend their time and money in striving to give
to these visions of their brain a real and substantial ex-
istence, let them. But thus to disseminate opinion,
which go, in their result, to disturb all the received notions
of property, and to derange the whole order of civil life;
this they are not at liberty to do. In persuading, the great
body of the working-classes to act up to their intended ex-
periments, and thus to loosen all the moral tics which bind
them to their country and to their Lind—in bringing into
the community a seT-octing principle of combination which
shall set all the ancient rules of society and government at
nought—to generate and keep alive a rankling discontent,
by representing property, and the profits of capitol, as
essentially and intrinsically hostile to the interests of all
those by whose labour that capital is turned to account—
this is to make war against the solid strength of this great
Empire—to break up all those foundations upon which its
prosperity rests, and to bring it—should the revolutionary
.force that is now forming, consolidate itself—to utter and
inevitable ruin.

CITY, g -*TERMS* EVENING.

This proved a very uninteresting day on the Stock Ex-
changes, as might naturally have been looked for after the
heavy settlement yesterday. Consols, in which very few
transactions occurred, opened at 881, but they afterwards
declined to 87Z 8, at which price they closed.
The business in the Foreign Market was equally unim-

r~

portant. The following prices were reported in the dif-
ferent Stocks in which any business worth recording took
place : Greek Scrip 24i 24 discOunt ; Mexican ditto 11
104 discount ; Cuatemala ditto 4 34 discount ; Brazilian
ditto 91 St discount; Danish ditto; 6i 6 discount; Co-
lombian Bonds 74/ 5 ; and old Spanish Bonds 161 17.
There was some jobbing in a few of the Shares in the
early part of the morning at advancing prices. Bolivar
Shares were a good deal inquired after at 19 21. Potosi
Shoes also improved ; they were to clay at 1 discount, to
I premium ; and Pasco Peruvian Shares were done at 7 8.

The Emperor of Russia left. St. Petersburgh on the 13th
ult. on his tour to the Southern Provinces of his empire.
The Brussels Papers of Saturday were received at our
office yesterday. They notice that on Wednesday M. Ar-
trault,' the author of the tragedies of Marius and Germuni-
eus, attended the levee of the King of the Netherlands, and
was very well received by his Majesty. The tragic muse
of M. Arnault, •it is stated, has chosen ne of the finest
subjects in are history of the Netherlands as the ground-
work of a most interesting piece called William the Firrt.
This tragedy was read a few days ago at the pavillion of
Terveuren, by the celebrated Talma. "We are assured,"
says the Journal Belgique, " that it gained the approbation
of the august and numerous company that 'was assembled.
The portrait of the austere Philip 11. of Spain, who had

On Friday afternoon the Thalia, of 3M tons, sailed
with a fair wind at E. from Gravesend, having 160 aattlers
on board for the British settlement forming en the land of
the Rio de la Plata Association.

A vessel bound from -Malaga to St. Petersburgh lately
perished on the coast of the Isle of Rugur. The cargo,

Home, and wine and fruit from Corsica and Spain, and :of
sulphur.
The Frankfort Papers of the 2lth September assert, on
the authority of the Oriental Spectator, that Commodore
Hamilton, instead of entering into negotiations to protect
the Greeks, is blockading Hydra. The Oriental Spec-
tutor complains of the exaggerations published in some
Journals respecting the successes obtained by the Greeks.
A lett?r from Rio Janeiro states, that Lord Cochrane has
addressed a friend in that port, mating that he will never
serve in the fleet of Brazil, so long as the present Ministers
bear the sway in that country.

By the Hiram, arrived off Torbay, from Rio de Ja-
neiro, letters of the Sth of August have been received from
that place. No reference is made to Sir Charles Stuart's
mission, except to state that he was supposed to have en-
counteml greater difficulties than he expected in the dis-
cussions on the Treaty, but that it was Risen out that some
document would be made public in a few days, to satisfy
the general anxiety on the subject.

We have received a fr.e.of Sierra Leone Gazettes to the
17th Jitiv. They contain the report of a ease tried in the
Mixed Court of Justice, established in that colony for the
suppression of the illicit traffic in slaves. The vessel was
a Netherlands' schooner, called the Bey; and though it
had no slaves actually on board, yet, as it was evidently
fitted out for the purpose or carrying on that vile traffic, it
became liable to condemnation by the additional article of
the treaty between the two Governments.

The England, Reay, froth 'Bombay, has artired off
the Start, but she does not bring intelligence of a more
recent date, than has already been received. She sailed
from Bombay on the 7th of May, and from St. Helena,
August 1.

The Burmese Imperial State clriage, which was cap-
tured at an early period of the • 'sent sanguinary Indian
war, has just reached this c0t...4, and is now preparing
for a public exhibition at the Egyptian Fall, Piccadilly.
It is, without exception, one of the most splendid works of
art that has ever been produced, presenting an entire blaze
of gold, silver, and precious stones. (H the latter, the
number must amount to many thousands, comprehending
diamonds, rubies, sapphires white and blue, emeralds,
amethysths, garnets, topazes, cats'-eyes, crystals, &c. The
carving is of a very superior description ; the form and
construction of the vehicle extraordinary ; and the general
taste displayed throughout the whole design is at once so
grand and imposing, yet at the same time so chaste and re-
fined, as to defy all nvalry enen from European workman-
ship. The warlike poWer and resources of this surprising
people are at present exciting universal astonishment and
attention. This new object attests the fact, that, for taste
in design and skill in the execution of works of art, their
talents have been no less hidden and unknown to us. The
carriage stands between 20 and 30 feet in height, and is
drawn by elephants.—Ackermann's Repository.

COMMERCIAL EMB•RRASSMENTS.—There have been
three failures of cotton speculators hero within the last few
days; one owing about looot. ; another about 25,0001.;
and the third nearly 50,001. At present, we understand,
the parties are all trying to effect compromises with their
creditors ; the best composition proposed, we believe, is Ss.
in the pound, and the lowest Is. or Is. 3d. Two of the
parties have failed before, under circumstances pretty simi-
lar. We need scarcely say they are the two who are likely
now to pay the smallest dividends.-3fandaerter Guardian.

PREPARATION OF COFFEE AT ROSETTA.-0110 of the
most curious sights in Rosetta, so famous for the fittest
Mocha coffee, is the preparation of that article for use.
After roasting the coffee, it is pounded in immense mortars ;
three Arabs working at a time with enormous pestles, each
as large as a man can raise. The capacity of the bottom of
the mortar being only equal to the reception of one of these
at a time, the pestles are raised according to the measure of
an air sung by an attendant Arab, who sits near the mor-
tar. The main purport of this curious accompaniment is,
to prevent the hand and arm of a boy, kneeling near the
mortar, from being crushed to atoms. The boy's arm is
always within tite mortar, which allows room for each pes-
tle to pass in turn without bruising him, if he places it in
time against the side of the vessel ; but, as after every
stroke he must stir up the powder at the bottom of
the vessel with his fingers, if the precise period of each
blow were not marked by the measure of the song, his arm
would be struck off. A sight of this process is sufficient to
explain the cause of the very impalpable nature of the
coffee powder used in Turkey, where the infusion more
resembles the appearance of chocolate than of coffee, as we
prepare them for beverage in England.—Asiatic Journal.
MEETING OF ARTIFANS.—On Tuesday evening last,
pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the artisans of
Manchestet' was held in the manor court-room, High-street,
for the purpose of having laid before them several commu-
nications which had been received by their committee rela-
tive to their welfare. The chair was taken by Mr. James,
and one or two individualsl had spoken, when Mr. John
Tester, the Secretary to the Bradford Union was introduced.
Ile addressed the meeting at considerable length, and laid
before them a history of the origin of the turn-out of the
Bradford combers anti weavers, and of their subsequent
pecuniary circumstances. He named some few firms which
he said had come forward, anti given them all they asked,
in a most liberal manner. Ile concluded his speech by en-
treating the artisans of Manchester to assist them as far as
lay in their power, that they might be able to keep out
longer against those of their masters who refused to accede
to their very reasonable and just demands. Mr. Swift, a
wool comber from the neighbourhood of Iluddersfiehl, and
several other individuals, workmen of Manchester, subse.
qucutly addressed the meeting in defence of unions gene..
rally. Resolutions, pledging the meeting to assist the
Bradford Union, and to support the Trades' Newspaper,
as being the best organ of intelligence for the artisans, were
entereeinto, and a vote of thanki passed to the Chairman,
when the meeting separated at half-past 10 o'clock.

ENTRY OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS
OF AUSTRIA INTO PRESBURG.

PaItSBCIW, Brrv. 18.
Yesterday afternoon their Imperil Majesties made their
public entry into this city with a degree of splendour which
surpasses all description : they reached the line at half-past
four o clock, were received in a tent erected for the pgispose
by the Magnates, who were assembled in their court
