" Truth, like the Sun-burst," &c. •
[Note to the words adapted by Moore in his Melodies, to
he Air of " Savourneen Drelish."]

Birmingham, October 11, 1838.

need not tell you that the ancient banner of
Irelaud was called " the Sue-burst," and if you had lived
the times when it was so named, there would be no man
more fit than yoursef to be Irelitras standard-bearer.
You have made your Journal a " Sun-burst" in the
moral battle for justice to that oppressed and insulted
country.
I pray of you to publish in your columns the following
short address to my fellow. countrymen.

I have the honour to remain, Sr,
Your most obedient humble servant,
THOMAS STEELE.

TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.
" Each voice should resound through our island,
You'r my neighbour, but Bull, this is my land,
•
Nature's f,vourite spot,
And I'd rather be shot,
Than surrender the rights of our bland."
Birmingham, Oct. 11, 1838.
MEN OF IRELAND,—Ye trampled, hat, thank Heaven,
indignant slaves ! Ye " Aliens in • language, in religion,
and in blood," the abo.ve lines are the concluding verse .of.
an anti-union song, which was written in, an absolutely
prophetic spirit, in the last year of the last century.
I hope this verse WilllPcome the charter song of all the
Precursor Societies of old Ireland. - _ _

The name of the song is `• The little Green Island."
• The writer,-the late Counsellor Lysaght, predicted that
the consequence of the Act which was to be named " The
Act of Union," would be to
• • • lay in the dust,
All the freedom and strength of our island."
Was the bard a prophet or was he not, ye "•alien'' shires ?,
I shall of course give my humble but fervid aid in work-
ing out the sublime " Experiment of Justice" which has
been instituted by the Father of our country, the moral re-
generator, O'Connell and in enrolling myself as a Pre-
cursor, it is not necessary for me to tell you that

" I'i rather be shot,
Than surrender the rights of our Wand."

Be peaceful, while your hurts burn—for -so, your tran-
quillity will be awful ; and depend upon it you will soon
teach the Tory House of Lords, that it is not autocratic in
the Constitution of the Empire.
Hurra! for O'Connell and Old Ireland, our country !
For " The Little Green Island !"

Ye " Alien" Slaves, I am your devoted friend,
THOMAS STEELE, .
For the last Eleven Y7.ars O'Connell's Head
Pacificator of the Peasantry of Inland.
P.S.—You have not, of course, failed to perceive fine
Sharman Crawrord, mistaking his noisome drivel for sul-
phuric acid, is, as usual, making an effort to do as much
mischief as he cans •

Mr. Crawford knows perfectly wr II that lire peaceful and
bloodless regeneration of Ireland d ponds upon the union of
her people.
Now this is the wry cri,,is when he makes one of his
twaddling efforts to produce discord and dissociation.

SAVINGS' BANKS —The amount received and paid
to Government fix a,.nui.ies during the quarter which ended
10th of October instant, by St. Clernetos Danes Savings'
Bank. was 6,1371. 4d. It appears that deferr, d

ties (to be paid for by annual instalments) halo,/ increased-in
the past quarter in a four-fold degrve, to the three preved.ng
quarters. Any person of the age of twenty five, who can lay
by 2s. 4d. per week, until he is fi'ty years of age, ma}. secure
a Government annuity 201. fur the remainder of life, with
this excellent provision, that in case. of inability to keep up
the payments annually, or of d..wh, the whole money paid in

Did on Tuesday, at his residence,. Willow Cottage,
near Eltham, Mr... 1. Walton, aged 62 years. In early_life
he became—attached to a femal,, the daugh'er of a small
farmer, at Crayford, but his friends being. averse to their
union, he was sent to the East Indies, where by .perseverance
and industry he accumulated a consi,lerable property ; during
twenty.two years' absence be regularly corresponded with
her ; but on his arrival in England he was only in time to pay
the last tribute of affection to his beloved, she having expired
two days previous. Ever after her de Ali ho sec!uded himself,
avoiding all society, except her brothers, to whom he has left
the bulk of his fortune, amounting to nearly 80,0001., sub-
ject to the payment of two annuities of 75/ each, to a
male and female servant, who. were his only domestics
for nearly twenty years. His house was built in the cot-
tage style, situated at the extremity of a small grove of
willows and poplars, and furnished in the most simple man-
ner, the window-shutters in the front were never suffered
to be open. His meals were temperate. consisting of bre id
and milk for breakfast, one dish of boiled meat and soup for
dinner, and coffee in the evening ; he would nut permit either
wines or spirits on the premises, allowing himself one gla,s
of ale daily : but so far from being perav ions he :vas a great'
benefactor to the p-or in the neighbourhood, whom he sup-
plied with fuel and warm clothing in. tiv winter months.
allowed his beard to grow, except on the uppei lip, end h s
which wa, light auburn and very lung, hung in ringlets
down his shoulders ; his usual dr, as was a lolse dark gown,
laird when seen, which was but seldom, he had so much the
ap?earance of a hermit, that he was known to many persons
in the vicinity by no other appellation. He was a sery
informed man, aad posecssed a most excellent library, which,
with his household furniture, he has bequeathed to a medical
gentleman who was particularly attentive to him during his

last illness.

A marked depression occurred in Great Western Rail-

were assigned as the cause. London and Birmingham were

Shares, to if prem.
However incomplete was the mode in which legislative
inquiries into the situation and management of the Ameri-
can Banks, on the occurrence of the general suspension,
were conducted in most of the States, and consequently the
iesults purposely mystified and unsatisfactory„it is only fair
to acknowledge that the State of Louisiana was an honour-
a'ile excepticn to the rule. There a Committee of Investi-
gation was appointed, with most extensive powers to make
" detailed examination" into the affairs of every
Bank, the Committee so named being composed jointly of
Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Nothing less than a searching tureAigation was intended,
and that intention was carried into eff,:ct, as is evident by
the documents made public by order of the Lejslature.
lo these the concerns and. position of each banking. csta-
.

lishment are exhibi!ed i❑ the most minute detail. Some

_ .
conception may be form of the money crisis Fast year in
New Orleans by the fact, that promissory notes and bills
of exchange in the hands of fourteen out of six-
teen hanks were protested from the 23d of Januilry,
_ _

to the 23d of December, a period of 11 months, to the
amount a 13,626,000 dols., of which 2,733,000 dots. had
bills, and 10,890,000 &Is. in long dated paper from 6 months
to 8 years, and in ocher species of seeu:ity realizable at eval
rwrinds of time, or were then outstanding, of whi.-:h the pro-
portion was b.-tween 3,000,000 dots. and 4,000,000 dot..
In the honest discharge of their duty, the Committee de-
clare that they "owe it to their country here to state their
eon; iction that the three-fourths of the piper protested as
above consisted of " race-horse bills," one of those peculiar
terms by which accommodation paper, or " kite-flying," ap-
pears to be there locally characterised. To the prevalence
of the system, and the immense amount of"race-horse
bills," thus regularly aflo.it and finally prote& toil, the money
" revulsion in London and the consequent depreciation" of
American staples in the European markets during the last
year was m tialy attributed by the Commitiee, certainly
on no slight grounds. And surely no more frightful proof of
the abuses and ruinous tendency of an unchecked paper
currency need be desired then the tart that three-fourths of
the piper protested, or ,:brut 8,000,000 dols. out of the
whole amount, consisted of the disreputable bills alluded to,
which, under any sound system of convertible paper cur-
in my, would have been impossible.
The w (irk of curtailment of the note circulation had been
carried on with considerable vigour by several of the Banks,
an more particularly by the specie paying Banks. Some
of the others had, however, increased their issues but de-
creased their loaus, but five of them had increased both.
The Citizens' Back.was seasonably enabled, under better
management, perhaps, to iiter,'.ase their loan accommoda-
tion to the.public_during a crisis of great severity by nearly
2,500,090 dols., wisely , diminishing at the same time their
Paper circulation, which does not appear- to Lave been
considerable at any time, by 342,000 dols. Of the Mer-
chants' Bank, which. was the Bank of agency of Mr.
Biddle in New Orleans, and held of local bank paper of
the State to the atnount of 1,078,000 dols„ and of notes
of the late Bank of the United Staters 1,181,000 dols., it is
observed,,that " whilst this Bank is permitted to circulate

the irredeemable paper of the Bank of .the United States in
exchange for our local la:wk.:totes, . a resumption of
specie payments must depend al!ogt,:ther upon her will :
her power over the Banks of this city is now much greater
than that
_of
,the Legislatur,:." - This state of things
has happily. ceased sine-e,hy the action of the general Con-
rrres: enforcing upon Mr. BO* the calling in and
t:can-
ceiling of this iilf.gitimlte circulation altogether. And
therefore as, according to the official statement lately given
of the present condition of the New Orleans Banks, they
could ecarcely be more favourably placed for a resumption
of sp"cie payments, there was the less excuse for longer
def+.rring it.

Upon the !hole, the inquiry into the state of Banks
and banking affairs ordered by the Legislature of New Or-
leans has been of so strict and searching a nature, and exe-
cuted with so much impartiality and rizour, as not only to
he calculated to-he pro.luctive of most benefleillresults to
the people of the. State interested, but to be useful in a
larger sphere as an example hereafter worthy of imita-
UOll, in the case of a repetition of similar inquiries in
this country. It is notorious that Legislative inquiries
here have always stopped short of the mark, as on a
recent occasion, when one or two particu!ar Banks were

E 0 that we may suppose the leading specu-

that the elf-et upon the mlrkethad been anticipated some
two or three days since, as there was about that. time more
bustle in the Engiiih market than has been observable for
tome weeks of late. We are rather confirmed in this idea
by the fact that much the. same state of affairs has existed
in previous instances.

The news from Splin.bas brought down Spanish Stock
about per cent. This fresh victory of the Carlists seems
to have been one that the Queen's troops will be scarcely
able to neutralise by any exertions they may make for the,
purpose, for a very long time to come. The repeated
def,!ats they have sustained ever since the period when it

were annihilated, must have had the most fatal influence

IALD--The slight improvement which has
place in the Revenue has by no mean; stimulated business
in the British Funds, neither lies it at all tended to improve
the quotations ; in fact, tilt,gether the market has closed
14eavily. Some further purchases of Government Annuities
have been made f!oin the Commissioners' box to-day ; but
these transaet;ons have had no. influence in the market
whatever, which is an evidence that the importance of these
periodical investments on the part of the Government has
been much overrated. Consols have closed heavily at 94
to for Money and Account. The Three-and-a-Half per
Cent. Reduced Annuities are 1001 to 101, and the New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1024 to I. There have
been some dealings in Bank Stec at 2034 to 204 A, ex-
dividend, for Money, and 2081 for the opening. India
Stock is 262 for the Account. The premium upon Ex-
chequer Bills continues at 69 to 71, and on India Bonds
at 70..
There has been no appearance of speculation in the Fo-
reign Market to day, and the Peninsular Securities have
been very heavy. The accounts from Spain ha% e prevented
any dealing., of moment in the securities of tint kingdom.
The Share Market still continues to exhibit a great deal
heaviness and not the slightest appearance of any specula-

tien. - Great Western Railway Shares have receded aait

as the centinued abs:nce of three Indian mails clearly
proves, and it is fully anticipated, from the 1148 h character
of. the parties who have reso:ved to support the enter-
that it will be eminently successful, at the same
time it reflects no credit upon the pubic authorities that
an eAabislimerit of such importance to the mercantile

respectfully addressed to all the Real Friends of that CIUIP."

In the course of these olservations Mr. Crawford charges Mr.

O'Conaell ►title "armtacy----unprincipled apt.'s!. or,

dares that " tLe cai.t!e of religious and po!icical freedom has

been betrAyed by the leader, who again. calls for men and
money, under pretexts which bear upon their front the stamp

of delusion." Neither hi! her the Protestants of Ulster w•i1l

therefore join in the Precursor agitation. Mr. Crawford
asserts that "if the efforts of the people-of Ireland have failed
to re.lress their wrongs, by that exertion of their moral power,
denemLated the paz,ive resistance system, that falure has
been solely produced by the want of princi7l,—the want of
steady action—by the apostacy of their leader apostncY
consummated by his support of the 8,11 lately passed—a Bill
which the miAn-ap ,slate's never could have dared to suppoa
—a Bill which the Melbourne Government could never have

darod to propose, unless it had been sanctioned and supported
by the acknowledged leader of the Irish nation." Mr. Craw-
ford intimatei: that, in a succeeding letter, he will state the
yarticu!ar dangers to which the cause of religious freedom is
(as he commis) at prei,:ut expcmei ; and will endeavour to
suggest the cbjccts to be contended for, and the means.to be

suddenly stumbled and rolled on his side, and the ram was

flung with violence to the grouial. Fortunately he was

of tie plunges which the frightened animal made in endea

CLUB FOOT CURED BY AN ACCIDENT.—On the
evening of Tueday lest, a cart, containing some fourteen or
fifteen reapers, was upset at Lundie toll. in consequence, it is
believed. of some o‘le having ntaliciously removed the fixing
pin. The party, with the exception of a Mrs. Brown, resid-
ing in Hawkbill, escaped uninjured. This poor woman re.
c:ived a severe injury on the ankle, which is likely to disable
her for some.weeks. What is more remarkable ill her-case
is that she laboured under what is popularly termed club
foot, caused. by cOntractioti of the tendon- AA Hee, .which tendon
was completely divided by a reaping hoile. The wound was
immediat,ly bandaged up by the toll-keeper, but afterwards
seen by Dr. Brennen, and there is now not only every proTeet
of a cure, but that the Accident -will he the means of removing
the deformity of the foot.—Dundee _Advertiser.
Yesterday a 'Coroner's Inquest was holden before

was unable to attend, and who stated that
,the deeeased

was sitting "by the side of the fire. The el, ceased was
on a chair opposite to 'him,. and was giving his son some ad-
vice about his Latin lessons "that he was to say to his tutor
the next day. He was very cheerful at the time, and had
been rather more so. than usual all day. While he was speak-
ing to him he gave a loud guttered noise. Witness felt great
alarm, when, seeing that he was falling from his chair, he
called in the servant, by ringing the bell. The footman and
some of the female servants hastened up and supported his
unfortunate relative. Mr. Henderson, a surgeon of the neigh-
bourhood, was promptly in attendance, but he was not able
to extract any blood. Pulsation had ceased. No death could
have been more awfully sudden. The witness was so affected
a; scarcely to be able to give evidence. The servant of the
dee:rinsed corroborated Mr. Neale's testimony. Verdict—

quantity. She was in a dreadful state, and could act beer
