TRANQUILLITY OF IRELAND.—I will DOW,
my Lord (addressing Sir N. W. Brady, the new Lord
Mayor of Dublin), turn to another agreeable topic,
which relates to the peace and tranquillity which pre-
vails at this the time of your inauguration ; for that
peace and tranquillity I am willing to give my full share
of approbation to the exertions of your predecessor ;
but at the same time, I must say that it has been
owing in a main degree to the good feeling and good
sense of the great body of your fellow-cititizens. I
cannot, on that occasion, but mention with peculiar sa-
tisfaction that tranquillity prevails, not only in this
city, but throughout the whole portion of this part of
the empire ; and this at a time when the designs of
misguided men had produced serious disturbances in
other portions of the united empire. I cannot sufficiently
express my commendation of the conduct of your fellow-
citizens, who, without any extraordinary exertion
of power, or without any extraordinary assistance
called for by the constituted authorities, did, by their
own free act, defeat those emissaries of mischief who
were sent from England to excite and disturb us, and
who so utterly failed in that attempt, that they have
been, I trust, effectually discouraged from renewing any
efforts of a similar nature.—Speech of the Lord Lieu-
tenant at the Municipal Inauguration of Monday.
TAME Fisir.—ln Anstruther Wester, there is
a fishpond of considerable length and breadth, and
fourteen feet in depth, and which was dug out of the
solid rock a few years ago, at no little trouble and
expense, by the late Captain James Black, R.N., in the
garden of his marine villa. The pond communicates
with the sea by means of a small passage bored through
the rock, so that its water rises and falls with the tide.
It is stocked with cod, turbot, and flounders ; a few
lobsters and crabs were also introduced, but these car-
ried on such a cruel and incessant warfare against their
more defenceless neighbours in the pond, that the Cap-
tain was obliged to exterminate them. The fish are
very tame, and flock towards the peison who feeds them
like poultry in a barn-yard. Of course they are too
great favourites to be cautzht for gracing the table ; but

SlR—This question, in my opinion, I have never yet
seen treated in that sphere of reasoning which belongs
to it; therefore, with your permission, I offer what in my
mind seems to bear most forcibly upon it.
The public feel themselves heavily oppressed by an
evil, and which evil is, that their bread shall not be af-
forded them on those fair terms at which it might be ob-
tained. This is the evil, and which is the effect of some
cause. Now for the cause. The cause is this :—Re-
strictive laws, prohibiting the supply of that food, or
laying upon it such a tax as makes it a prohibition. Now
the cause for that? The owners of the soil of the coun-
try, being themselves the Lords, or representatives of the
people to keep up, or increase the value of their land
(as they suppose) and income derived from it, pass such
laws, tending to keep the price of corn (and other pro-
duce from the land) high ; consequently, the price or rent
of the land, which high price making food difficult to
obtain, especially by the working class, hence is the
burden felt, and a cry for its removal, under the appel-
lation of the " Corn•lavva."
Now, let us inquire the pretence the landowner has
for inflicting what is called by the other party, and the
bulk of the community " an evil."
This is his argument, as he remarks, " I have a
large family, and I cannot educate and bring them up
in that manner suitable to their rank and dignity under
sixty thousand pounds per annum." "It is very true,"
answers the civilian, " as things are ; but, my Lord, al-
low me to inquire, of what does this large expenditure
consist ?" " That is very soon answered," replies his
Lordship, " there's my servants' wages, myself and
sons' tailors, shoemakers, cOachmakers, saddlers, wife
and daughters' milliner's bills, and many such others too
long to detail." " But," replies the civilian, " suppose
I put your Lordship in a way of getting all these mat-
ters for forty thousand pounds, then in that case won't
that sum do as well as the sixty thousand pounds ?"
" Aye," says my Lord, " it would, I can't deny, but how
can that be done 9" "0, very well," says the civilian,
" but mark with attention what I shall observe—you
mention your tailors', shoemakers', &c. &c. bills ; pray,
my Lord, do you know what your tailor charges for
your suit of clothes ? Did you ever, my Lord, weigh
your suit of clothes 9" " No, never." " Well do so, and I
dare say you will find it to weigh about 81bs. Cloth is
made of wool. Do you know, my Lord, what price
your steward obtained for your last shearing of your
prime Spanish and Saxon breed of sheep ?" My Lord—
" I believe about 2s. per pound." " Oh, my Lord, you
surely must forget, for your whole suit of clothes only
weighs eight pounds, and at two shillings per pound is
only 165., and you say that your suit of clothes is
charged 121., why then, it would seem that the price of
the material, the wool, of which the clothes are made, is
of small value compared to the price charged by the
tailor. 0, hut, my Lord, we forget. The wool was
sheared, which cost something ; then it was cleaned, at
a further expense ; then combed, at more ; then dyed,
at further ; then spun, still more ; then wove, more
again; then dressed and smoothed, again more ; then
styhboaeunpr tailor

body;
and this is what is called manual labour ; and you, my
Lord, may well call out, what a deal of labour, and
what dear labour, too! So indeed it is. Now, we will
inquire about the labour, as we have inquired about
the wool, and see what makes the price of that, for the
labour seems to be nearly the whole cost of your suit of
clothes. Oh, here is a labourer coming. Here good
man, I want to speak to you, to ask you a question.
" Pray what are you ?" " Please your honour, I'm a
labourer." " What wages do you get ?" " I get 4s. a
day." " Could you not work for less 9" " How can L
for I've a wife and nine children to keep, and look at
the price of bread.
_I have 4s. a week to pay for rent,
and then there's only 20s. to buy bread, &c., and as dear
as it is." " But what do you pay so much rent for ?"
" Because my landlord says that joiners' and bricklayers'
wages are so high he cannot afford to build houses to
charge less rent." " Well, but suppose that joiners,
bricklayers, &c., would lower their wages 9" Oh, then,
I suppose we should have rent cheaper, but I suppose
the won't, while bread is so dear." " But they are going
to take off the Corn-laws, and bread will be cheaper."
" Oh, that alters the case ; then rent being lower, and
bread cheaper, then I can, and we all can, work cheaper,
and the tailor and shoemaker can do the same, then, all
things will be cheaper ; Oh, yes, we can all afford, then

. ,
very well, to look at lower wages." Now, my Lord, I
believe we are beginning to dive into the very marrow
of the question. Some say, if bread is lower, they will
all work lower. Now, let's see what you will have to pay
your tailor next time. I find this suit of clothes ofyours
has been through about twelve hands since it came off
the sheep's back, and so the price of the wool is run up
from 16s. to 121., and so, my Lord, if you will weigh
your boots and shoes, your harness, aye, and your car- '
riages too, you will find, in the same way, that the
material forms but a small part of the cost, but that it
consists, almost wholly, in the expense, or paying for
labourers, employed in putting together the article,
whatever it may be. Now, my Lord, I have ,shown
you, that the expenditure of your family, consisting
of articles, requiring much labour, that by reducing the
price of labour you reduce the expenditure of your
family, which is to be done by reducing the price of
bread, and which is to be done by taking of the Corn-
laws ; then will your land, at a rental of 40,0001. per
annum, be as valuable and useful to your family as the
60,0001., and which you are now obliged to wring from
your tenantry; but that is not all, which I will directly
explain. Here, says my Lord, comes my neighbour,
Lord Fortune Threadbare. I know you can't convince
him ; no—if it were as clear as that two and two are
four, or that the sun gires light at midday." " Tush,
tush ! not a word ; his estate is mortgaged over head and
ears, and his business is not altogether like mine, done
by tailors, Sce , but mostly by those fellows called Jews,
and who will have five per cent. interest for every 100/.,
besides a good bonus." " Civilian—Then, poor fellow, I
-,:an give him no comfort, for if he did not know how to
take care of his estate when it was his own, I am
afraid that he would to-.e it again if it were released to
to him ; and I hope that Englishmen are no longer to be
disgraced by having such men to prescribe law for their
Government, and to make bread high priced, so that
the poor working man shall pay their debts of honour
(disgrace I mean). But, methinks, I hear some one say
that we must keep a protecting duty. I have shown
that the value of the produce of the land, and conse-
quently the value of the land itself, ranks in proportion
to the value of labour, and vice ver.sa. But we have
always been beginning at the wrong end of the argu-
ment, land instead of labour, to show, whereas the proof
is in the labour, and all the results. If the price of
land is reduced from 30,000/. to 20,000/., and that
20,0001. can produce, on account of labour being ie7
dueed as much as the 80,000/. could have done, cense-
quently the landowner loses nothing. But mark the
benefit produced by the change, which I promised •to
show. Manufacturers, upon which this country de-
pends, will be virtually benefited, inasmuch as labour
being reduced, goods will be produced lower, hence will
soon be put a stop to the rapid strides now
making against us by foreign nations supply-
ing themselves, owing to the high price of
our goods consequent upon the price of • Eng-
lish labour. Again, protect ! who ?—protect! what ?
The owners of the land : and who are they? One,
perhaps, out of every 10,000 of the people. And what
of the 9,999 ? They must suffer ; and what else ?
why, the evil suffered by them will in a short time revert
on the few, for commerce being blighted by protecting
them, the few—and manufactures, being produced
elsewhere, the wealth of the nation, its industry,
being made nugatory--then, my Lord, you would,
I believe, be glad of the 40,000/. per annum now
offered—.when you would, I believe, find that you must
content yourself, perhaps, with something like one-tenth
part, or 4,0001. per annum."
I know, Mr. Editor, that I have drawn this picture
true and correct, and I hope that such of our legislators
who may glance it over may take advantage of the
warning given by it. I assure you lam no meddler in
politics, but I have common sense, and a question of
such vital importance to our interests as the one before
us cannot have escaped my observation and reflection.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
A CIVILIAN.
N.B. Speaking of price of labour reminds me of a
late visit I made to Germany, where, being a few
days
about 10 miles from Dresden, 1 spoke to a man who
attended a flour and saw mill, and asked the wages he
got, who answered me with great glee that he was very
comfortable, having only two children, and be had, ac-
cording to their money, about 6d. a day. I staid in
Wurtzburg, in Bavaria, a few days, and a tailor told me
that he kept fourteen men at work, and the most that
he gave his best men was about Is, per day ; yet I saw
no distress and wretchedness as in this rich land, where
labour is 4s. per day and upwards.

CAB ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday morning
about nine o'clock, as a poor woman named Mosely was
crossing the end of Down-street, in Piccadilly, she was
run against by the cab No. 93, and one of the wheels
passed over her right leg, fram urine: the large and small
I),ties just I),ve thu She was taken to St.
George's Hospital.

The Committee who have the management of the
intended building, resolved that it should go to public
competition, and advertised for plans and designs some
months ago, to be delivered at Mercers' Hall or or
before the Ist of August last. In pursuance of that
resolution, thirty-eight plans were, we understood, de-
livered. They occupy the Hall and principal room,
and consist, each design, of from eight to fourteen draw-
ings, mostly framed, some in gilt, and others in maho-
gany frames. We have not seen them, but we have
been informed that such is the case. The inspection
has not been extended beyond the Committee, and the
architects whose names we are about to give.
It seems that the well-known first-rate architects of
the metropolis, such as Sir Robert Smirke, Cockerell,
Decimus Burton, Wilkins, Barry, Joseph Gwilt, Hard-
wieke, &c., would not enter into a general competition,
consequently the public will not be favoured with a
specimen of their works for this great national under-
taking.
The Committee, we think, have adopted a plan which
entitles them to great credit for impartiality, by the
mode of selecting the best designs in accordance with
their written instructions. They have requested and
obtained the acquiesence of Sr Robert Smith, Mr.
Joseph Gwilt, and Mr. Hardwick, to select from the
thirty-eight plans five of the best, out of which five
the Committee are to select three for the premiums.
There are, we are assured, some very splendid and
admirably executed drawings amongst the designs ; yet
the internal buildings and arrangements of :•0 ne of
them are such as will place them out of the pale of
competition, differing very much, if not wholly, from
the printed instructions. This circumstance is greatly
to be regretted, as the restrictions appear to us to be
as clear and explicit as any ever issued for any public
work ; yet in justice to those who have complied with
the instructions, it may be said that it must be ex-
tremely difficult to avoid such departures ; at the same
time, we hope that there will be found amougst the
thirty-eight designs some splendid specimens of taste
and genius for a building worthy of this most noble
metropolis.
The Mercers' Company have, as before stated, al-

lowed, at considerable inconvenience to themselves, the
whole of the plans and drawings to be put up in their
hall, and we believe the public will, under certain re-
gulations, shortly have a❑ opportunity of viewing them.
Great progress has been made in settling with the
freeholders and tenants of Sweeting's•alley, and other
premises adjoining, for the erection of the New Royal
Exchange upon an enlarged site. We may, therefore,
soon expect to see the ground cleared, and, perhaps,
early in the next year, the first stone may be laid.
The Committee who have the management of this
interesting and important work are twenty-four gentle-
men, twelve (with the master) of the Court of As-
sstants of the Mercers' Company, and twelve selected
out of a Land Committee of the Corporation, at the
head of which is Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, who is
the Chairman of the joint Committee. Mr. Jones has
been many years Chairman of the London-bridge Com-
mittee, and for talent, integrity, and independence, is as
well known in the City as the arena of the Royal Ex-
change itself—a better selection could not have been
made.

We hope shortly to be able to give the decision of the
three eminent architects whom we have mentioned, and
the consequent selection of the Committee for the pre-
miums.

It is proper to copy the following from the instruc-
tions to which we have referred:-
3. That the new building, being the Grecian, Ro-
man, or Italian style of architecture, having each front
of stone of a hard and durable quality.
4. That the designs offered by the several candidates
must all be drawn to the same scale, viz. ten feet six to
one inch and a half, exhibiting the plans of each story,
with an elevation of each front, and longitudinal and
transverse sections, together with an interior elevation.
That a copy of the lithographic plan be also sent by
each candidate drawn in Indian ink to the same scale
as the design, and showing correctly the outline of the
proposed building, the site thereof tinted red, and of all
adjacent buildings in Indian ink. That all the draw-
ings sent by each candidate shall be tinted with brown
Indian ink only, and that no perspective drawings of
the designs shall be received except two, which shall be
taken from the situations specified in the lithographic
plan, to be delivered to the parties.
6. That a specification be required to accompany
each design, giving a general written description of
the building, and such other information as cannot
clearly be shown on the drawings, stating also
what stone and other materials are proposed for use in
the different parts of the building, and specifying par-
ticularly the estimated expense of carrying the designs
into execution in the most substantial and complete man-
ner in every respect for occupation, the expense not to ex-
ceed 1.50,000/.

10. That for the design to which the Committee shall
award the first premium, the sum of 3001. shall be
given ; that for the second design the sum of 2001. ; and
for the third the sum of 1001. The successful compe-
titor to whom the first premium is awarded, shall not be
considered as having necessarily a claim to be entrusted
with the execution of the work ; but if not so em-
ployed, and his designs are carried into execution, a
further sum of 5001. shall be paid to him ; the Com-

mittee retaining possession of all the drawings for which
the premiums have been given.

Lord Brougham and the Marchioness of Clan-
ricarde, with her family, visited the Polytechnic Insti-
tution, Regent-street, on Thursday. They were de-
lighted with the beautiful specimens of Daguerreotype,
by Mr. J. 'F. Cooper. They partook of the cookery
performed by the reflectors from the fire 100 feet from the
meat The Duke of Manchester, and the Marquis of
Conyngham and his daughter, were also at the Institu-
tution on the preceding day.

A considerable sensation was excited in Salisbury
last week, in consequence of the Earl of Radnor having
summoned before the County Magistrates our Con-
servative Representative, Wadham Wyndham, Esq.,
to answer a charge of having trespassed on the Noble
Earl's property in pursuit of game. Mr. Wyndham
attended in person to answer the charge, and reminded
Earl Radnor that he had given him (Mr. W.) permis-
sion to shoot over the land in question more than ten
years back, and that he had yearly availed himself of
such permission. The Noble Earl hereupon withdrew
the charge, with the observation that the fact of his
having given permission had escaped his memory.—

HIGH PRICE OF LAND.—At a sale by auction,
by Messrs. Crockett and Son, on Monday last, at Brat.
ton, four acres and one rood of arable land, situated in
the neighbourhood, fetched the very high price of 6001. ;
and half an acre and one rood of orchard obtained 1401.

TIIE WEST PENNARD ROYAL CHEESE.—
Tile Royal Cheese manufactured by the spirited inha-
bitants of West Pennard was last week opened to
public inspection. The Committee appointed to
manage were in attendance. Several samples of supe-
rior cheese, of the largest sizes, made from the con-
tributing dairies, were placed around, which served
only as foils to set off in contrast the mighty moun-
tain of curd standing on a platform underneath,
surrounded by the machinery constructed for its
completion at a great expense, consisting of a self-
acting press, of forty tons power, a dividing vat or
mould, in which it was first formed, and crane for turn-
ing it, with an elaborately-carved follower, in beautiful
Spanish mahogany, by Mr. Halleday, of Chilton Priory,
which has given the royal arms, encircled in a wreath
of oak and laurel leaves, with a most spirited effect, to
the surface of the cheese. Its figure is a regular octa-
gon, thirty-seven inches in diameter, giving a circum-
ference of nine feet three inches, and twenty-two in
height, the produce of seven hundred and thirty-seven
cows, and computed, upon the lowest calculation, to
weigh upwards of ten hundred weight.—Sherburne
Journal.

A LONG STORY..—M. Hoverlant, ex-member
of the Conseil des Cinq Cents, has written the history
of Tournai, his native town. A fact unprecedented in
literary annals, he has extended it to the 114th printed
volume ! M. Hoverlant, who is advanced in age, lately
lost his eyesight, when it was feared that his " History
of Tournai" would stop at its 114th volume ; but this
indefatigable chronicler has since found an obliging
neighbour, who writes under his dictation, and the 115th
volume of the " History of Tournai" will shortly be
published.
An EAGLE IN SHEFFIELD.-011 Saturday
afternoon, while a working man was engaged in a field,
at Whirlow, his attention was arrested by a great
number of small birds giving chase to one of very ex-
traordinary size ; he immediately procured a fowling-
piece, joined in the " hue and cry," and succeeded in
winging the " monster of the air," in front of Mr.
Waterfall's house ; on taking hold of the bird, which
'turned out to be a very fine brown eagle, the latter
seized the sportsman in a way he did not anticipate,
and before he could release himself, had to call out
lustily for assistance, which being speedily at hand the
" big bird" was finally carried off in triumph. It mea-
sured across the wings five feet four inches.—Shellield
