At the sale of an estate at Barnwell, held for lives
under the See of Wells, the agricultural land for 801., and
orchard land for 1401., an acre, so great was the competi-
tion that the auctioner could hardly decide on the purchaser
even at this enormous price.—Bath Herald.
On Friday morning a woman was found in a state of
nudity with her hands tied behind her, sitting on a stile in
Shooter's-hill wood, Kent, by the postilion of Miss Carew,
near the spot. She said she had been robbed of her
clothing by some men in the wood. Assistance we;
procured, and Morris, an officer, sent for, and after search-
ing for some time, a gown belonging to the unfortunate
woman was found, which was upon her, and some other
wearing apparel being procured, she was taken before the
Magistrates at the Castle Inn, Woolwich, where she re-
peated her story. The appearance of the wretched woman
created a great sensation throughout the Court. The Ma-
gistrates desired their clerk to write a letter to the parish-
officers at Eltham to relieve her, that being the parish in
which she was found.

The Brussels Papers contain the following On
Friday morning a detachment of 100 men of the garriion
of Maestricht, commanded by a Lieutenant, advanced into
the Belgian territory as far as the last line of the posts of the
Custom House officers. We readily believe that this vio-
lation of our territory arose from the imprudence of the
officer who commanded the detachment. The Governor of
Hainault, accompanied by the chief engineer of the mines,
went on Friday to the Borinage. It is hoped that the co-
operation of the civil and military authorities will soon effect
a reconciliation. A detachment of Lancers has been sent
thither to assist in maintaining order. We learn by !cue%
from the Borinage that the fermentation is abating. The
arrest of the principal agitators gives reason to expect that the
great body of the workmen will soon return to their work,
for we are assured that the•greater part of them had no
share in the disorders, and begin to be sensible that by
refusing to work they injure themselves as much as their
employers."

On Friday, at 12 o'clock, as some workmen were
excavating at the Seven Dials, for the purpose of laying
down a main pipe for the Gas Company, they were surprised
to find a human skeleton about four feet from the surface.

" HENRIETTA TEMPLE," THE NEW NOVEL,
BY the AUTHOR Or " VIVIAN GREY."—In these forth-
coming volumes the author, we understand, discarding on
one side those frivolous portraitures of mere manners in
which modern writers of novels have generally indulged,
and avoiding on the other those metaplisical and high-flown
subjects in which of late he appears to have been inclined to
bury himself, has written a work in which he has brought
his imagination to bear expressly upon the " History of the
Heart." This subject affords great scope for the display of
tho'se vivid powers of observation and delineation of cha-
racter so eminently possessed by the author of " Vivian
Grey," but which, in that celebrated work, were limited in
their range, from the desultory nature of the plot, and the
numerous personages introduced in it.
SUICIDE OF A KING'S MESSENGER.—A few
days since, a messenger of the name of Smith, attached to the
Foreign Office was ordered to take dispatches to Falmouth.
The messenger was directed to use all possible expedition ;
and as the mail had started about two hours before his dis-
patches were ready, he was directed, if possible, to overtake
it. This, from some mismanagement or other, he failed to
accomplish. However, he proceeded on, reached Falmouth
too late for the packet, but delivered his dispatches to the
proper authority, and took the customary receipt for their
delivery. The failure in overtaking the mail, and the fear
of reprehension for his neglect would seem to have had an
extraordinary, effect upon his spirits, for instead of coming
back to London by coach or post-chaise (as is usual), he
walked to Honiton, where his manner was observed to be
unusually wild ; but, as he was previously well known at
the road-side inn where he stopped, he obtained every ac-
commodation. He had a frugal supper, and retired early
to rest, saying.that he was very much fatigued by his walk
from Exeter. Next morning he arose at an early hour,
and, having ordered breakfast, went out. Some time elapsed,
and, not returning, suspicion was excited, and a search was
made, but no traces of him could be discovered. On the
next day, however, the coat and waistcoat of a man were
seen on the bank of a deep stream near the town, and shortly
after the body was found. Upon the person of the unfor-
tunate man were a ten-pound note, ten sovereigns, an d some
silver, his gold watch, and the receipt for his desk) etches.
After a Coroner's Jury WO sat on the body, it was illtcrred
in the parish church.

ADDRESSES OF CONDOLENCE.—The following letter has
been addressed to the people of Ireland by Mr. Steele :
" O'Connell Mountains, County Clare, Nov. 2, 1836.

" Men of Ireland—l should be a traitor to my politics,
and a recreant to the principles which should govern the
actions of a gentleman, were I to permit any human being
to anticipate me in calling upon you to perform a melan-
choly duty.
" The greatest of living men, my august friend O'Con-
nell, has been, by the decree of that omnific and sanctified
Power to which even the greatest of mankind must bend in
homage, smitten upon the heart ; and that heart which
was lately a heart of triumph, is now a heart of desolation.
" You do not require to be told what you: ought to do
in every county and city df Ireland ; measures 'will of course
be taken as have been already in this county, and by my
fellow-citizens of Limerick, to send addresses of condolence
to the Father of his Country.
" I remain with the deepest sympathy in the affliction of
the august regenerator of his Country, and his family, your
ever devoted Friend,

THOMAS STEELE.

GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—At the meeting of this body
on Thursday, an adjournment for one week was moved and
carried, as a mark of respect for Mr. O'Connell, and of
regret for his lamented lady.
DEATH MRS. O'CONNELL.—The virtues of this lady
were neither pompous nor ostentatious ; they shone, where
virtue should shine, in the family sphere—in pity to the
sufferer, and charity to the 'poor—in drying up the tear,
which she had not the power to stay—in endeavouring to
promote that fellowship and universal love, in which, beyond
all else, God is pleased. In a public point of view the
death of Mrs. O'Connell must be regarded as a national
calamity. The patriot of Ireland has had his household
gods shivered around him. He has now "no wife." A
premture consolation is too frequently but the remem-
brancer of sorrow—otherwise we should say, Mr. O'Con-
nell is now more closely than ever wedded to his country—
it is her happiness that must now ensure his—her sorrow
or gladness that must give a colour to his future life—
her prosperity that must give
" To home its delights."
—Freeman.

WRITS or REBELLION.—The Irish journals are filled
with reports of the Court of Exchequer—almost every
column is occupied with details connected with the collec-
tion of that hateful impost, to which so many lives have
been sanguinarily sacrificed. Ryan the " rebellion ruffian,"
against whom a verdict of wilful murder stands recorded,
having been bailed, as we before stated, was soon afterwards
seen perambulating the hall of the Four Courts at Dublin,
and assisting at the Exchequer. The following reports,
which are indiscriminately selected from a mass of similar
accounts of the tithe campaign now raging in Ireland, can-
not fail to fill the mind of every good and right-thinking
man with indignation and disgust. The perusal, however,
will at the same time be instructive ; since the proceed.
ings recorded serve to illustrate, by facts, the working of
a system which is a scourge to the unhappy country that
pines under it, and is tortured by inflictions unparalleled
in the history of nations.
A REBEL.—A young man, without wig or gown, or at-
torney's sable, addressed the bench, and stated that there
was a man there who had been brought up by a commis-
sioner of rebellion upon a writ of habeas corpus from that
Court. Baron Pennefather—Where is he—where is the
attorney or the commissioner? Young man—Mr. Smith is
out of Court, but he bid me address your Lordship as I
have done. Court 'Are we to understand that commis-
sioners of rebellion have a party in Court whom they wish
to have transferred to the keeping of the marshal from their
own custody ? Young Man—Yes. Baron Pennefather—
Well, let us see him. Here the rebel rose from a seat in
one of the side boxes. He was a young man very poorly
clad ; be was from Shinrone—the son of a widow ; his
tithe amounted to 61., the costs to 15/. ! The name of the
commissioner of rebellion by whom he was brought up was
James Kennedy ; that of the rector at whose suit he was
dragged from his famiIy—SAVAGE. Baron Pennefather—
Do you know why you have been arrested? Indeed and I
cannot well say, Sir ; they tell me it is for tithes. What is
your name ? Anthony Corbeau. You have been arrested
for not answering a bill ? lam not acquainted with the law.
Your arrest has been for not answering ; you must stand
committed until you shall have purged yourself of the con-
tempt. Why did you not answer ?—I had not money, my
Lord, to go against you.—(Roars of laughter.)—Baron
Pennefather (to Mr. Smith, K.C.)—Suppose that we, in
the first instance, examine the man, then refer the case to
the Remembrancer for further inquiry, and that he finds his
inability to pay. Would you refer me as to the clause in
suc..
'• case relative to the costs. Mr. Smith—l am not
counsel h: the case, otherwise I should have the clause
read As rw-wever, your Lordship has referred to me, I
y.
nten!pt Act. Baron Pennefather—We
shall swear the prisoner
will look into the cb.
the mean time. The rebel was
sworn accordingly, and examn.: d by Baron Pennefather.—
pi -s aicess from this,Co .
You have been arrested under a answer. .
for urtde-
On your oath why did you not put in u.."
Be-
cause I had no right to pay.—Well, that is m,..tter,..
fence against the bill. But on your oath do you say you
are unable, from poverty, to put in an answer to the b...
filed against you P—l am not well able to do so. I inay
say lam not able.—What are you worth ? lam a Roman
Catholic.—(Loud laughter.) I did not ask you of what
religion you are. I asked you what money you are
worth ?-1 am not, at this moment, worth a single penny.
Did you not hold a farm ?—Yes. How many acres?—
About thirteen. Have you paid your rent ?—Yes, I have.
Did you register as a freeholder ?—lndeed I did . not.
What may your farm be worth ?—lt is not worth a single
penny. I would sell my interest in it to any one for. a penny.
Then bow do you live ?—I have nothing else for
a b
it ut my
day's labour ; and if the Lord should be plesed to take
my health from me to-morrow, I would not be able to live.
What do you pay an acre for your farm ?—I. pay, 40
s. an
acre. Then, indeed, that is a very dear bargain. This is a
case which ought to be referred to the Remembrancer, to
inquire into the truth of the allegations made by the pri-
soner—namely, that be is, from poverty, unable. to pay for
the putting in of his answer—or that he.may inquire into
any special matter upon which he may deem it right to re-
port. Let the man be given in the meantime in custody
to the Marshal—he to bring him up from time to time be-
fore the Remembrancer, at his (the Remembrancer's)
leisure, in order to his reporting on this case. Prisoner—
My Lord, I have been confined for 45 days in Bridewell. I
was unable to support myself in it only fur the little my
friends brought me there. There is a man in court that can
tell the truth of this to your Lordship.—(Sensation in the
Court.) Mr. Win. Smith—My Lord, I beg to state that
it has been stated to me by the commissioner (of rebellion)
a respectable man, that since the arrest of the prisoner, his
brother sold 401. worth of produce from the farm on his
(the prisoner's) account, and that he has both cows and
horses. Prisoner—Any One can say that, but can be prove
it ? Baron Pennefather—Well, let the commissioner also
go before the Remembrancer. Prisoner—l could not have
that amount apon the bit of ground that I bold—l have a
rinother and sisters, and a lame brother to support out of
it—l had only four acres of corn this harvest, and the
highest price I got for any of it was 9.75. a barrel for wheat.
How could that produce 401. after what went to the land-
lord ? And only that I have a good landlord, I could never
stand it. Mr. Smitb, K.C., stated that be could not find
in the act the clause to which his Lordship referred,
