The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur-
chase some of the large and valuable estates in the West of Ireland,
which are now in the market, and to improve and let on lease, or
resell the same.
In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such
easy terms, and with suck present and prospective advantages.
At no former period has so favourable an opportunity been pre-
sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland.
It is a strange but unquestionable truth, that at the present mo-
ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable land may
be bought in Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are
compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements.
Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent
_ .

the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value
generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope-
less by English capitalists to seek permanent investments there,
especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was
so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent
all attempts at the introduction of an improved system of agri-
culture.
The successful operation of the Encumbered Estates' Court, the
remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population
exhibited by the late Census, anti the universal desire to emigrate
that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difficulty in
the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re-
move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that
quarter; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the
mere force of circumstances.
The province of Connaught has been chosen because it offers un-
questionably a preeminently suitable field for the purposes of the
Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal,
and tractable character of its inhabitants.
Practical Agriculturi-ts, Travellers, and Tourists of all Nations
have concurred in bearingtestimony to tt.e unparalleled scope for
remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo,
Sligo, Roscommon, taid Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade-
quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve-
lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured
district abounds.
The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch
farmers have not been induced to take advantage of this splendid
opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has
been their reluctance to become isolated settlers in a country where
their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation
of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en-
tertain considerable apprehension for the safety of their persons and
property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing
like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of similar
objects.
The Directors confidently hope that the project new laid before
the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro-
position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement and colonization of
Co, naught.
The absence of Markets has hitherto done much to deter persons
from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in
the west, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient
internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro-
polis ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed
in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation
of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of a line
of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable realiza-
tion of the long-desired steam communication with America is
another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity.
The most effectual mode of promoting a better system of Agricul-
ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manufacture
of its own productions; the Company will therefore encourage the
growth of each Commercial Plants, as may form the basis of exten-
sive and highly remunerative Manufactures.
It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company
should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more mature
deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, and de-
vote its attention to the reclaiming, improvement, and reselling of
land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all
the means in its power the cultivation of root and text.le plants so
peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as
Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c.
It is needless to insist upon the great advantages of a Royal
Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the
amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it
would be difficult to obtain a better security fur the outlay of
capital than improvable land at its pre-ent prices in Western Ireland.
A clause In the Charter provides for the allocation of one-fourth
of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex-
pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming, and
generally improving and rendering marketable the estates of the
Company.
It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the
Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the
shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases.
The Directors feel that it does not become them to speak of the
amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in
framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy o
public confidence, but they think that it ought to be known as a fac
calculated to encourage those who embark their capital in this un
dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many which
have been submitted to the hoard of Trade, whose professed objects
and proposed operations have met the approbation of her Majesty s
Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap-
pointment of a Government Auditor.
In a review of Mr. Dieby Seymour's recent work* on Western
Ireland, the " Rankers' Magazine" (Jan. 1852), after stating that
the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a
financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the
present scheme, " We believe it has a claim on the attention of
capitalists that wil ensure its success." Other authorities abound
in expressions of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a
simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the
present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any
argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a
discerning public.
They would, in conclusion, adopt the language of Mr. Seymour
who thus sums up his argument in favour a Land Company.

" A Land Company, possessing a large tract of country, lestablsh-
ing the best system of Agriculture, working its Mines and Fisheries—
If such there were—introducing new and important manufactures—
its whole economy adininistered by men of skill, rectitude, and per-
severance—promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur-
ing permanence of employment—opening fr, sh markets in conse-
quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing an ample
capital, could effect —incumbered by no poor-rates,
because employ-
ing the poor—too powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices—too
self-reliant to be deterred from its path by intimidation—uninflu-
enced itself by sectarianism, in politics or religion, and offering no
impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling
of all by its practical patriotism—possessing the advantage of
united counsels and associated energies—attractiug to itself the
hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community—able in
its collective capacity to :approach the G,vernment with such claims
to a favourable attention as no private individual could advance—
contemporaneously developing all the resources, agricultural, geolo-

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of anceas-
ngrnirry and regret.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—ln the ab-
sence of arrivals there has been more quietude in our grain
market during the past week ; the rates asked for landed par-
cels tending rather to check business. Our market to-day
was tolerably well supplied with wheat by the farmers, but a
large portion a good deal out of condition, and such was very
difficult to sell, while dry samples readily obtained last week's
rates. In foreign wheat few or no transactions passed. A few
small parcels of barley have arrived, and the market is less firm
than last week. Oats in fair demand at our quotations. Beans
go off as before. There has been more inquiry for white peas,
but at rates below what are asked for the few landed parcels.
Linseed market without change, but cakes maintain their value
very firmly notwithstanding the open weather. In rapeseed
nothing doing. Rape cakes go off in retail.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
The announcement made in our columns yesterday of
the coLeplete failure of the step taken by the Employers'
Association, in re-3pening their shops on Monday, re-
ceived further confirmation from the experience of yes-
terday, during which we are credibly informed that not
a single additional skilled workman entered the vast
establishment of Messrs. Maudsley and Field, Lambeth;
and the only establishment, so far as we could collect,
which received any accession to its numbers, was that
of Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill, Glasshouse-fields,
Stepney, where eight mechanics, two of whom were
members of the Amalgamated Society, went in upon
the employers' terms. It will be remembered
that the same number of mechanics, including
two society men, went in on Monday, so that
this shop now holds four members of the Amalgamated
Society, who are said to bo the only ones, out of the
1,800 belonging to the metropolis, who have acceded to
the masters' terms. Oa the other hand, fresh instances
have come to our knowledge in which foremen and ap-
prentices, who had hitherto remained at work, refused
to sign the declaration required, and several of the for-
mer have intimated to their employers, that not only
will they not sign the declaration themselves, but they
will not remain to superintend the men who may sign it.
We stated yesterday that a vast number of labourers
who had been thrown out of employ by the strike had
rushed to sign the declaration as soon as the shop-
doors were thrown open, but instances have occurred in
which labourers who had remained at work since the
19th of January quitted work on Monday, ratb'r than
do so. Amongst other instances, three men belonging
to Grissell's, City-road, yesterday entered their names
upon the labourers' relief-book on this account.
In Manchester, we learn, the same results have at-
tended the re-opening of the shops as in London, and on
-Monday Houtson'a shop, employing about 50 society,
and 100 other hands, re-opened upon the terms of the
Amalgamated Society. It is also stated, upon good au-
thority, that Messrs. Platt and Hibbert, of Oldham,
have requested a deputation of the society, with the
view of taking the same step, and also that the Union
Foundry, of the same place, has started upon the terms
of the society.
The subscriptions received during yesterday and Mon-
day, at the central office of the Amalgamated Society,
considerably exceeded the amount received on the cor-
responding days of previous weeks, amounting to nearly
1,300/. .This sum includes 50/. from the London west-
end cabinet-makers.

n-ofilee, Jar. 13.
" 14 Lord (Sir),—llepres.e'ort)r
tatiCtings have been made
to her Majesty's Governrsent en tho part of several
European Governments, through their representatives
at this Court, on the subject of the proceedings of
foreign refugees now residing in Englar;cl; and it has
been urgently demanded that immediate and effective
steps should be taken by her Illajest)'s Government to
put a stop to those intrigues at ti conspiracies against
the Governmeuts of various European Powers in which
foreign refugees now in England kre asserted to be en-
gaged.

By the existing law of Great Britain all foreigners
have the unrestricted right of entrance and residence in
this country; And, while they remain in it, are, equally
with British subjects, under the protection of the law;
nor can they be punished except for au off'nce against
the law, and under the sentence of the ordinary tribu-
nals of justice, after a public trial, and on a conviction
founded on evidence given in open court. No foreigners,
as such, cart be sent out of this country by the executive
Government, except persons removed by virtue of
treaties with other States, confirmed by Act of Parlia-
ment, for the mutual surrender of criminal offenders.
"British subjecte, however, or the subjects of any
other State residing in this country, and therefore owing
map, on
the Government of any
on conviction of being con-
eoebrendeidencine tloeviytsinlgawwsa,
state at amity with Great Britain, be punished by fine
and imprisonment. Offenders in this respect are equally
open to prosecution by individuals or by the Govern-
ment.
" Measures in the form of Alien Acts have been at
different times resorted to by the British Legislature, by
which the power of expelling foreigners, in cage of ne-
cessity, has been conferred on the executive Government;
but such powers, even when asked for only for the main-
tenance of internal tranquillity, have been regarded by
the neople of this country with jealousy.

The Manchester men yesterday received their fourth
week's strike pay, at the same rate as for the two pre-
vious weeks, viz , 15s. for society, and 10s. for non-
society men. We understand, however, that the society
men, who are four times the number of the non-society
men, each gave up a shilling so as to equalise the re-
spective receipts at 14s. per man. The London hands
were paid 10s. and 15s. respectively on Monday.
The London trades are rendering a very considerable
amount of assistance to engineering operatives by pecu-
niary contributions. At a meeting of the committee of
the rnasone' society, on Monday, a resolution was passed
authorising a levy of 6J. per week per member during
the continuance of the strike; and it is stated that this
levy will throw into the funds of the Amalgamated So-
ciety not less than from 1501. to 2001. per week. At a
meeting of the tobacco and cigar trades, held the same
night, ii was also agreed that subscriptions should, for
the same purpose, be at once entered upon.
No fresh labourers, it is said, were token on at any
of the shops yesterday, and the Central Commission
despair of receiving support from the public, contern-
piste a dissolution, leaving the matter entirely in the
hands of the local committees. The total amount of
subscriptions received during the past fortnight it; 571.
I is. Bd., out of which nearly 101. has been absorbed in
printing and other expenses. They paid for the fort-
night Is 9 t, per man on Saturday last, and now hold in
hand a balance of 21. 5,. 2id. towards the support of
600 men for the coming week. The following answer
to an application for pecuniary relief was yesterday re-
ceived from the Earl of Carlisle•--

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Although the American
accounts have conduced to somewhat more of tameness
in the Liverpool cotton market, we have to report a de-
cided firmness in yarns and goods of most descriptions,
with indications of a steady general demand. The
makers of domestics are indeed cumplaining of a degree
of heaviness in their department, owing to the conti-
nued backwardness of the home buyers, and yet they
are remarkably free from stock. The Bombay houses
are still operating in the lighter 40-inch shirt-
inge, and, as the market is cleared, and the
production is reduced to a comparatively narrow
limit, they are not now to be had at the late
depressed prices. The cheapness of madapollams is also
causing a disappearance of stocks for shipment to the
same quarter. Much of the business both in the shirt-
ings and madapollams is, however, of a speculative cha-
racter. Good 40-inch shirtings continue scarce from
previous orders, and from present demand for export to
China, and for the purpose of printing. Printing cloths
of the lower kinds, as light as 31b., are attracting some
attention. In yarns, it is found thatf4o's and 50's mule
twist, the former especially, are hardening in price under
the India demand. Warps in general aro very
firm, at full rates; indeed 28's are not in be
bought except by paying something more; bat 24's
being more difficult of sale, have a bias in the buyer's
favour. For 30's pin-cops there is an export demand,
which gives the producer an advantage in makieg a
bargain. The contracts that spinners are under for
reeled water twist render it so difficult to execute any of
the orders on hand for China and the European conti-
nent, that extreme prices are fully sustained. In
reference to the continental demand, we would point at-
tention to Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson, and Co.'s table
below, which shows an increaee. in the first five weeks
of 1852 as compared with the same period in 1851, of
1,900 bales or 1,900,0001 b, chiefly to Germany.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—WO have had no improve-
ment in the flannel market to-day; everything continues
quite inactive, and there is no disposition on the part of
toe merchant to purchase. There is no change in the
wool market; the dealers are wishful to sell, at former
pricre.

MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAY.—We have still to report
a sluggish market for silk manufactured goods;
the aggregate transactions of the week have been to
a moderate extent, but prices are very un3atistactory
to producers. Thrown Silks—The market has been less
active; atocks in general are light; the hands in the
throwing mills are well employed. Raw Silk—The
market continues tolerably active, tins:l:r the influence of
speculative purchases, chiefly in Chinas. Prices are
firm, with the exception of Italians, which area shade
easier.

•• 1-ne general hospitality thus extended by our insti-
tutions to all who choose to come to England has from
time to time been the means of affording a secure asylum
to political refugees of all parties, many of them illus-
trious in rank and position. Among them may be
mentioned kings and princes of the two branches of the
Bourbon family and the Prime Ministers of France and
Austria.

" It is obvious that this hospitality could not be so
freely given if it were not so widely extended. If a
discretionary power of removing foreigners were vested
in the Crown, appeals would be constantly made by the
dominant party in foreign countries for the expulsion of
their political opponents who might have taken refuge
in Great Britain. Monarchical Governments might ob-
ject to Republican refugees, and Republican Governments
might object to Royalist refugees; and it would be diffi-
cult to defend such hospitality, which would then be
founded upon favour, and not upon equal laws.
" It is the earnest wish of her Majesty's Government
to promote as far as is in their power the peace, order,
and prosperity of every country with which they are
in friendly alliance; but 'they do not think that any
ground exists which would justify them, on the present
occasion, in applying to the Legislature for any extraor-
dinary or further powers in reverence to foreigners resi-
dents in England. and they have no reason to doubt that
this opinion is shared both by the Parliament and the
public of this country.
" With reference to the intimation that exceptional
measures of precaution may be taken tigainst British sub-
jects travelling abroad, her Majesty's Government can-
not complcia if, while insurrection is raging., or its flame
is scarcely, e.-.tinguished, foreign Governments should
take precautions against suspected English travellers.
" her sfajesty's Government adhere to the principle
laid down by Viscount Pa!mersion in his note of the
30th of SsTterrber,lB4B, to the United States' envoy at
this Court, in relation to certain citizens of the United
States, who had come direct thence to Ireland, then in
a state of partial insurrectior.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—But few merchants have vi-
sited our piece hall to-day, and the general aspect of the
worsted trade is very dull. Yarns exhibit no
mer.t, either in demand or price. Wool remains firm;
and as the spinners are running cut of stock, rather
more is chtnging hands.
improve-
ment,
TUESDAY.-011r market bas been
flit to-day, scarcely any demand for goods in the Cloth
Hall, and not much doing in the vvarehouses. The wool
market continues about the same as last week.

Lord ralnanston did not in that note ask for any
chango its the American laws, and he expressly for-
bore to press the President of the United States with
represeetztioes against the offenders, but merely
said that those wno visited a country in a state of
insuirectien must take their chance like persons
whom curiosity might lead into a tield of battle; and that
toe American Government must not take it amiss if
citizsns of tho United States who visited Ireland at that
time were involved in the exisequence of measures
aimed at men of a different description. The measures,
however, to which he alluded were taken with reference
only to persons to whom, under the peculiar circum-
stances of tt,e moment, suspicion attached. But
it would be in the highest degree unjust and unworthy
of the enlightened character of any European Govern-
ment, and wholly unwarranted by the course pursued by
the British Government on that occasion, to put vexa-
tious impediments in the way of unoffrnding English
travellers, by way of retaliation for the acts of foreign
refugees in England.
" While, however, her Majesty's Government cannot
consent, at the request of foreign Governments, to pro-
pose a change in the laws of England, they would not
only regret, but would highly condemn, any attempts on
the part of foreign refugees in England to excite insur-
rection against the Governments of their respective
countries. Such conduct would be considered by her
Majesty's Government as a flagrant breach of the hospi-
tality which those persons enjoy.
The attention of her Majesty's Government will con-
tinue to be directed to the proceedings of suspected fo-
reign refugees in this country, and they will endeavour
by every legal means to prevent them from abusing the
hospitality, so liberally accorded to them by the
British laws, to the prejudice of countries and Govern-
ments in amity and alliance with Great Britain.
You will communicate a copy of this dispatch to
the Secretary of State.

necessary, and the operation was performed yester-
day week by that gentleman and Mr. Hey (of Lecds).

trial at the assizes, for shooting with intent to kill. We,

not yet considered out of danger.—Leeds Intelligencer.

LORD BROUG.ILENL'iI NEW COUNTY COURTS BILL.-
On Saturday Lord Brougham's new Bill on the County
Courts was printed. There are 28 sections in the Bill. By
this Bill, which wasp rinted by order of the House of Lords,
the salaries of the judges may be increased to 1,500/. a year,
and of the clerks to 7001. a year. Au appeal is to lie by
either party to a trial dissatisfied with the determination of a
county court judge in point of law in any case tried with or
without a jury. The Lord Chancellor may appoint county
court judges and commissioners and others of the Court of
Bankruptcy, to be officers of the Court of Chancery. The
Hundred Court of Ofilow is to be abolished.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Lucia di Lammermoor was performed last night, the
part of Edgardo being personated by Mr. Sims Reeves.
The frequency with which this popular vocalist, has un-
dertaken this character in the metropolis renders remark
DON uearly superfluous. That the public admire him in
this character is incontestable; and had there been a dif-
ference of opinion on the matter, last night's representa-
don must fairly have set it at rest. The house was full
from the commencement—the pit overflowing, and the
galleries crowded. The reception accorded to Mr. Sims
Reeves was undeniable in its warmth and unanimity. The
great points of his performance, which it is unnecessary
as agreeable
to describe, excited an enthusiasm without bounds; and
not only was he called for at the end of each of the three
acts, but also after one or two special pieces.

The mercantile uivices from Vienna of the 6th of
February mention that the rates of foreign exchanges con-
tinued without much improvement, but that they had latterly
been subject to less fluctuation. A new loan at an early
period was considered inevitable.
In the money-market the
failure of a large railway contractor, with liabilities for
60,0001., had just been announced.

EXTENSION OF THE WELLINGTON BAREACHS.--It
having been deemed necessary to make more effective pro-
vision for the accommodation of the household troops, nume-
rous workmen have for a considerable period been actively
engaged in making extensive additions to the Wellington
Barracks, Birdcage-walk. One portion, which is intended
for the non-commissioned officers, is just completed. It is
situated at the west end, and forms a sort of wing to the
main building; another portion _has within these few weeks
bsee quarters
commenced at the east end, which is to be appropriated
a
for the officers, and considerable progress has al-
ready been made by the workmen in the employ of Messrs.
T. and W. Piper, the contractors. The foundations are being
constructed with considerable strength, of Yorkshire landing
stones, each about four feet square, and no less than six
inches thick. All the basement floorings, and beneath the
main walls, will be laid in Seyssel as ,halts, as already
adopted at the new corresponding wing. The walls will be
very substantial, the external three bricks thick,and the in-
ternal two bricks, or eighteen inches in thickness.
