BRADY V. THORNTON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
181. 2s. 3s. from the defendant for goods sold and delivered.
Proof was given that the defendant had admitted the
amount to be correct, and that he would pay it as soon as
he could.

This was alio undefended, and a verdict was consequently
given for the plaintiff.

ELOPEMENT.—An elopetnent of a very ex-
traordinary nature took place in the neighbourhood of
llorncastle last week. A respectable plumber and glazier
eloped with a fair milliner and dress-maker, of the above
neighbourhood ; but, by beinz closely watched, he was
obliged to relinquish his purpose, and his pursuers turned
the head of his herse round ; he was then in the neighbour-
hood of Stickney, but be returned the fair lady to her dis-
consolate friends, promising never to do the like again.—

A short time back a young man,
respectably
connected at Amberly, in this county, to avoid the pre-
sence of his relations, and frustrate their suspected desiF n
of preventing his union with the object of his choice, ac-
tually slept in the parish church all night to keep himself
out of their reach, and was there married, agreeably to b's
wishes, on the following day. " \Vbo," he has since said,

Favourable accounts were received yesterday
tro ruing by Gin ernment front Wales. The riotous workmen
of Merthyr Tidvil, who had made an irruption into Mon-
mouthshire, to seduce or compel the workmen there to join
them in their outrages, had failed in effecting that object,
and the men who had gone from the works with the rioters
had returned to their homes. An additional military force
of dragoons, &c., had arrived at Merthyr Tidvil, and the
civil force was well supported, and order and quiet had
been restored. Several of the rioters at Merthyr had been
apprehended.

The Countess SPENCER died at ten o'clock
last night, at Spencer House. Her Ladyship had been in-
disposed only a very few days, and her decease was quite
unexpected.

Ttii RUSSIANS.—It is not generally known,
but cannot be too extensively circulated at present, that in
I7SO, when we were hampered with the American war,
the just and moderate Empress of RUSSIA (CATHERINE
II.) formed a general confederacy with the Continental
Powers for the purpose of resisting the right of search
and blockade claimed by England.

THE POLES.—Upon referring to history we
find that in 1315 the Swiss threw off the yoke of Austria ;
in 1609 the Dutch released themselves from Spanish
bondage ; and that 1782 was the era of American inde-
pendence. Why should not the Poles be equally successful
in 1831?

Two murders have just been committed in
the Commune of Bellend, in the Canton of Pouilly-en-
Auxois. The Cure and his niece were found strangled in
their beds. Not the slightest trace of the murderer could

A most disastrous fire took place in a cottage
at Tredinny, in Buryan, on the evening of Saturday last.
The owner and his wife quitted the house about nine
o'clock in the evening, with the intention of going to see
some pigs, which were kept at a distance, leaving four
children. the eldest about ten, and the youngest three
years of age, at home in bed. On their return in about
an hour, they discovered the house to be on fire. The
husband having procured a ladder, attempted to rffect an
entrance into the chamber in which the children were
placed, through the window, but the flames, now gaining
additional strength every moment, baffled all his efforts.
Although every exertion was made on the part of the
neighbours, the flames could not be got under, and the
cottage was reduced to ashes. The remains of their chil-
dren were interred in one grave,-- }Vest Briton.

IRELAND.

(From the Times.)
One source of hope for the progress of Ire-
and towards affluence, is the activity with which

men of practical information, guided by deep and
meditative sagacity, are turning their thoughts to
the question,—by what means, other than poli-
tical experiment, can the good of that country be
secured ?

An able pamphlet has been sent to us, which
professes to be from the pen of Mr. C. W. Wil-
liams, and to hare been suggested by the report
of the Select Committee on the state of the poor
of Ireland, of which Mr. Spring Rice was chair-
man ; to which gentleman the present produc-
tion, as well as that of Dr. Doyle, already re-
.

ferred to by this journal, has been- dedicated.
To state the purpose of Mr. Williams in one
line, it is to bring out the natural resources of
Ireland, by giving increased facilities to her com-
merce. In the course of his discussion, he en-

deavours to explain a number of seeming incon-
sistencies in the position of the island, and to
repudiate altogether some allegations received
and reasoned on as facts.

After enumerating the remedial measures pro-
posed by the Committee, and affording them as
a whole his warm approbation, the author de-
velops his own views of what constitute the most
pressing wants of Ireland, as means for setting
commercial capital in motion. The absence of
capital, or its tardy progress, Mr. Williams al-
together denies. He says that neither can it be
true of a country containing 7,000,000 of in-
habitants, which has added to her monied capital
within six years and a half above 14,000,000/.
of funded property, as evinced by the Govern-
ment returns. He then goes on :
" It is not capital, but available capital, that Ire-
land wants,—capital that will be so employed as to
reproduce itself through the instrumentality of labour.
b, then, Ireland in a condition to induce capital to
seek investments in the same direction that it does

in England ? He is a bold man who will answer
this in the affirmative.
" The previous question' then is, what vhou'd
be done to bring it into a condition that capital may
be profitably employed, and labour made available ?
The following short summary will be found to com-
prise the leading features of the case.
" 1. The population want employment.
" 2. '1 hat can only be supplied by the pursuits o f
agriculture, trade, or commerce.
" 3. These cannot be promoted without inter-
course and interchange.
" The application of these first principles to the
present condition of Ireland is the object of the fol-
lowing pages.
" It may be laid down as an indisputable point,
and it applies with the greatest force to an agricul-
tural country, that whatever may be the quality of
the soil, or the extent of its population, no matter
what the natural products may be, without a facility
of intercourse for persons, and of interchange for
produce, they avail nothing. They are the gold in
the mine. We need go into no refinements of po-
litical economy. We need search for no hidden
causes of pauperism or turbulence ; but, finding a
region with a dense unemployed population, yet
wanting the necessary facilities of interchange for
its labour, we may pronounce at once that such dis-
trict cannot make any progress in industry or ca-
pital, or even in civilization. On the contrary, in
proportion as its population increases, while the
means of intercourse remain restricted, will the evils
increase. The population will remain poor ; con-
fined to the lowest description of sustenance, and de-
pendent on the seasons for that sustenance ;—igno-
rant, easily excited, without industry or emigation,
and degraded to the lowest scale of civilized beings.
" It is not, then, the want of capital in Ireland
which occasioned that depression of which all cam-
plain, though so few have pointed to the real cause ?
No. Capital is an ingredient unquestionably ; but
Ireland must first be prepared to employ capital pro-
fitably. Neither is it to the abundance of capital
alone that England owes its prosperity and the active
spirit of trade which prevails throughout. This is
the gist of the argument.
" Among the first great causes of thatindustry
and trading activity which is so characteristic of
England, are, the extraordinary facilities which
every part of it possesses for the interchange of pro-
duce and products ; first, by lines of road and inter-
nal navigation available for the purposes of inter-
change among the several counties ; and, secondly,
by the connection these navigations maintain be-
tween the interior and the sea-ports,—those great
vents for the produce of surplus labour, and inlets
for the return of consumable foreign articles and
luxuries. 'Tis these which impart a value to its
labour, its skill, industry, and science ; and which,
in their ruin, increase the value of the very capital
which these incidents have themselves created. It
is labour thus rendered available, and not the mere
command of capital, which has brought England to
its present state. England itself bad once no capi-
tal but its soil and its population. Available, mar-
ketable labour, created capital; while capital, in its
turn, like the shower which returns to fructify the
soil, increased the facilities of trading intercourse.
Thus capital and labour reciprocally become cause
and effect, and the progression becomes endless.
" In confirmation of this view of the subject, it is
important to observe that these facilities for trading
intercourse in England have inci eased within the
last century in a commensurate degree with the in-
crease of the population, and concurrently with the
progress she has exhibited in arts, manufactures, and
the improvement of agriculture.
" Had, however, the population increased, as in
Ireland, without a corresponding increase in the
means of intercourse, by which the augmented
labour of her augmented population might be dis-
posable, it requires no great reach of mind to see
that her condition, notwithstanding her poor laws,
must have been as unsatisfactory and unsettled as
that which many parts of Ireland at present ex-
hibit. The system of poor laws, indeed, .so far
limp producing any re-active principle, would, in
that case, have been swallowed up in the increasing
demands upon it.
" Looking at the means by which the labour of
the population in England is rendered available, we
see one great distinguishing feature, one universally
r e %railing characteristic,—one so decidedly national
and unique, that it would be folly to underrate it as
one of the great momenta of individual and general
prosperity.
" We find the kingdom intersected in every part
and direction with the means of interchange of com-
modities ;—roads, canals, and rivers, either naturally
navigable, or made so by human means. Every
where is e find those numerous conduits, like the
veins and arteries in the human frame, maintaining
this circulation of the life's blood of trade and com-
merce in an endless and returning current between
the centre and the extremities. It is this unceasing
and active circulation which gives strength and
energy to the whole frame of society. Without it,
the body politic becomes corrupt, diseased, and
dangerous,
Now look to Ireland. Compare it in a cor-
responding point of view. Look for its means of
giving a market value to labour and industry. Look
Tor its invigorating sources of trading intercourse,
by which ' capital may be profitably employed,'
more especially in those divisions which are most
disturbed, most exposed to want and pauperism,
and, withal, most populous. Compared with Eng-
land, the picture of its nakedness is distressing, and
almost incredible. Many great divisions of the land
without water
conveyance of any kind. Those
within its reach, from one cause or other, unable to
turn it to advantage, or unconscious of its influence
and value. Entire districts, of from 20 to 30 miles
in extent, and covered with a living mass of inhabi-
tants, almost without a road, yet br'nging their pro'
