IRELAND.

The following is the letter of Lord Ebrington to the
Duke of Leinste►, anncuncing a subscription of 2001.
to the Irish Agricultural Association, which we noticed
some days ago. The letter is characteristic of the good
sense and kind disposition of the present Lord• Lieu.
tenant of Ireland :

" Dublin Castle, March 12, 1841.

"My dear Duke,—l request that you will have the
goodness to announce to the Committee of the Irish
Agricultural Society a contribution from me of 2001.
" I have abstained from offering this at an earlier
period of your proceedings from no want of interest in
their success, but under an impression that that success
would be based on a surer foundation from the spon
taneous liberality and public spirit •f Irish gentlemen,
than from any additional stimulus which my co-opera-
tion, as the heal of the Government, could have given
to the outset of the undertaking.
" The result has fully borne out my expectations, and
whilst the general principle of the English and Highland
Agricultural Societies will, I believe, furnish you the
best materials wherewith to form one for Irelsud, the
composition of the Committee, of which your Grace h
the Chairman, cffords a full guarantee that these prin-
ciples will be judiciously and beneficially adapted to
this country.—l am always, my dear Duke, yours very
sincerely, "EBRIN GTON.
" The Duke of Leinster."

ST. ALDAN'S ELECTION COM
MITTEE.

the hustings on the day of election.
The Committee met again on Saturday at Eleven o'clock,
when Mr. John Brookes was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN.
Witness said
The hustings occupied a large space; they were sometimes very
full, and at others nearly empty. (A model of the hustings
was here produced.) They were never quite empty during
the day. I was one of the tally clerks for Mr. Cabbell, and
was anxious that he should succeed. The Mayor is a Con-
servative.
when Hardy came
By the CHAIRMAN-- up to vote he was
oath •
required to take the bribery ,; he did not abject to tako
the oath, but• refused to take n
.- I was at
tois hat off, and, therefore, the
Mayor refused to adininister it him. This circumstance
'led to great confusion, during which Mr. Edwards addressed
the Mayor on the subject. Hardy was strongly urged to take
his hat off, but he refused for a length of time,
but at last con-
sented, took the oath, and polled.
The Rev. James Brogden examined by Mr. TALROT—I am
a clergyman of the Church of England ; I was curate of St.
Michael's nearly three years ; I voted at the last election at
St. Alban's for Mr. Cabbell, and was one of those
who signed a requisition to the Mayor to admi-
nister the bribery oath as the electors presented
themselves to poll. I perfectly remember a mans of the name

(Queen had been, before the contract with the Belgian Govern-
ment can be deemed conclusive; but we are, nevertheless, dis-
posed to believe that, with her voyage to Liverpool, now on the
eve of its termination, the connection will cease between that
beautiful vessel and her English owners. Antwerp seems
more likely to be her destination the ensuing trip. Consider-
ing that the President had been advertised again to leave
Liverpool for New York on the 10th of next month, and that
we are within fifteen days of the time, it is surely strange that
the agents should reject freight and passengers, if it be intended
that the two vessels shall continue running on account of the
Company as heretofore, and this on the plea that there is a
doubt about the day of sailing.

TIMES.—With money in an easy state, the Government
securities have been tolerably firm, and the bargains were in
amount of more than ordinary character.
In the circles more immediately connected with the shipping
interest the late conviction of the Wallaces, at the Central
Criminal sittings, for fraudulent insurances, has created a good
deal of anxiety, which has been much increased by rumours
current to-day that a vessel which left England in the autumn
of last year was sent out under similar circumstances to those
adduced at those trials, and would probably meet the same
fate. It is not prudent at present to advert to these circum-
stances more in detail, but the eagerness evinced among the
shipping interest for the exposure and punishment of such
nefarious transactions is extreme, and highly creditable to
them, though they need not fear any general imputations from
such a cause, a remark which has been more than once hazarded.
The character of the mercantile marine of England stands far
too high to be affected by two or three isolated eases.
The degree in which the colonies produce the staple articles
of our home manufactures is always a matter of interesting in-
quiry. In this view attention may be usefully directed to pri-
vate letters recently received from Graham's Town, Cape of
Good Hope, by which it appears that the sheep farmers of the
eastern province of the Cape, 600 miles from Cape Town, are
making great progress both in the number of their flocks and
in the quality of their wool, though they have been much per-
plexed as to what kind they ought to produce, in consequence
of the London market showing a great predilection in favour
of common wools, The forward flocks are for the most part
Saxon, but many of these are being crossed with the Leicester
breed, which, although it seems likely to cause a decline in the
quality of the wool, is not regarded as a proceeding likely to be
altogether unprofitable.

HERALD.—The business activity in the home stocks to-
day showed something like a return to old times, and although
no special rise in prices has to be noted, the general aspect of
the market was of a more stable and satisfactory character than
usually results on the occurrence of some strong and unexpec-
ted turn of prices one way or the other, which is generally
succeeded by a proportionate state of depression or reaction.

of Adams coming up ; it was before 12 o'clock. Adams when
he came into the booth was close to Mr. Cabbell. He

(Adams) called for the returning officer, which excited great
attention. I left my place and went close to Adams to learn
all he had to say. Adams made a statement in a very distinct
tone of voice, andin a very firm manner.
Mr. TALBOT.—Then now tell the Committee what it was
that Adams said. _

Mr. COCKBURN objected to the question. The resolution o
the Committee, that a similar question could not be put to
Adams, applied to the present case. His Learned Friends
had failed to prove the agency of Mr. Webster, and therefore
any statement of Adams could not effect Lord Listowell.
This was only an attempt to give the go-by to the resolution of
the Committee, and could not be entertained by the Committee.
He repeated, that if the agency of Mr. Webster was not proved,
anything that Adams said or did could not affect Lord Listowell.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee remained in
deliberation upwards of half an hour. On the re-admission of
strangers,
The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee are unanimously of
opinion that the question cannot now be put.
Mr.. Brogden recalled.
Mr. HILLYARD—You have said that what Adams stated
must have been heard by Lord Lord Listwell ? (Witness—Yes.
Mr. HlLLY.s.an—After that, what was it you said to Lord
Listowell ?

Mr. COCKBURN objected.
The Committee decided that the question might be put.
Witness recalled, and the question repeated. I staid to Lord
Listow el, "Here is purity of election and freedom of conscience."
I made this remark in a loud voice close to his Lordship.
When Adams came to the hustings he brought with him
a small paper parcel which he gave to the Mayor, and made a
statement. The Mayor afterwards opened the parcel. I saw the
contents of that parcel ; it consisted of two 51. notes and two
sovereigns. The notes were of the bank of Mr. Muskett.
Lo. d Listowell was present when the parcel was opened. The
Mayor inspected the notes, which he took out of the parcel.
Mr. HlLLyAltn—Did the Mayor in the presence of Lord
Listowell ask Adams, from whom he received the notes and the
sovereigns?
Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Committee against entertain-
ing the question, which shortly afterwards the Committee ad-
journed.

EASTERN QUESTION.—We have reason to
believe that the French Government received, on Thurs-
day, intelligence from the East, by which the amicable
arrangement of the Turkish and Eastern question is f
the present suspended. We are without precise informa-
tion, and cannot bo responsible for more than giving the
concluding words of the despatch submitted to us—" Ides
affaires de l'orient son; de nouveau tout a fait embrouillie F."
.....Morning Paper.
London, England, 1841-03-29

tyro must see that, joining at those places, as it does,
other lines cstend;ne- far into the country• any h'n• fits
which accrue from its economy and abbreviation of
time are enjoyed by all the places which use the rail-
way, however far beyond the point of junction north-
wards or southwards.

By the decision of this question, the Parliament
sanctions the high charges of the London and Birming-
ham on the public, and has recorded its opinion, that
improt ei-nents shall not be made if they affect the inte-
rests of existing lines. We do not quarrel with this
decision if it be openly avowed, but wherefore should
the hypocritical cant of a regard for the public be so
sedulously spread about ? Tell the public, openly and
honestly, that the House does not care a fig for it, and
that Parliament will listen to nothing for its advantage,
and we shall be quite satisfied.
Another argument, used by the London and Bir-
mingham, if argument it can be called, is, that, because
1 millions more will be required, the public must pay
higher fares to support it. To attempt to reason with
such men would be labour lost. It is true they them-
selves have charged pretty well upon the public, but we
should like to ask them if, when they went to Parlia-
ment to lay out their ‘24 millions to make their railway,
they admitted that, because of this extra capital, to be
hid out in the carrying business, it was intended to tax
the public higher.

ACCOUNT OF THE POPULATION.--A Bill has
just been introduced into the House of Commons
to amend the Act of last Session, entitled " An
Act for taking an Account of the Population of
Great Britain." The Bill directs that the ac-
counts required by the said Act to be taken on
the Ist of July, shall be taken on Monday; the
7th of June, 1841, and shall be the accounts of
the persons who abode in the several dis-
tricts therein described on the night of Sun-
day, the 6th of June. The accounts of house-
less persons, persons travelling, &c., shall also
refer to the said night of Sunday. The accounts
in Scotland are to be verified before the 30th of
June. The Act also provides a small degree of
consolation to bachelors and old maids, allowing
them, under certain circumstances, to diminish
their age, if they see meet, by five years. Thus
every person whose age shall be twenty, and not
twenty-five, shall be set down as aged twenty,
and, in like manner, the age of every person
shall he set down as that multiple of five
years which either expresses his or her
real age, or is next below it. The ' Bill
repeals the clause containinc, a table of allowances
to any parish clerk, or other persons who shall
have assisted the rector, or to any person em-
ployed in the execution of the Act, other than
the enumerators, registrars, and superintendent
registrars employed in England and Wales in
the execution of the Act ; and provides that the
fees shall be fixed by the Justices of the Peace
in petty or special session ; and also that the
overseers of the poor, constables, tithingmen,
peace officers, and the relieving officers in any
union formed under the New Poor-law, shall act
as enumerators if required by the Commissioners.

tial men. This essay of a mind equally solid and judicious,
demol sties all the illusions with which the defenders of the
project had invested their work. If the law passes, it will be
ruined in public opinion ; it will be nothing more than the still-
born progeny of two equally culpable ideas—that of military
despotism, and that of revolutionary tyranny.—La Gazette de
France.

We have received news from Bona, dated the 10th of
March. General Bugeaud arrived at Bona on the 9th. The
National Guard, the troops of the line, and almost the whole
population, were ready to receive him. The General tra-•
versed the ranks, and was satisfied with the appearance of the
troops. On the 10th he left Bona, to proceed to Constantine,
with the intention of visiting all the camps and the interme-
diate ports. ' _

The Univers says—The Journals of London and Germany
have spoken for some days past of negotiations, the object of
which they allege to be to engage France to acknowledge and
sign the Treaty of 1840. We believe that we may assert
that all these assertions are completely erroneous. France
will no! sign, and ought not to sign any treaty with the great
Powers, but one which shall give and seriously guarantee a le-
gitimate satisfaction to her dignity, to her influence her inte-
rests, and those which it is more particularly her province to
protect in the East and in the West. —Le anistitutsonnei.

DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
granted to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title •f " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci-
entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, anal shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot •vet flow, whatever may be the change of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and th• writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for four or six months.
PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.

This Ink has a flowing property peculiar to itself, and does
not corrode Metallic Pens as other Inks.—ln Bottles, 6d., Is:,

COUNT CLERMONT.A Tragedy.
Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1841.
In this volume we have, besides" Count
mom," another tragedy, entitled " Caius To--
nu:ins," and several miscellaneous poems ivhich-..
we must co-dess we prefer to the tragedies, for-
there is more nature and simplicity about them,
and certainly more true poetic sensibili..'There.
aro one or two impressive scenes in Count
Clermont;" but, as a whole, the play is far-from.
being well constructed ; the action, too,)lo:44oVaSM.r. gold in places, and the chief personages seerrn
more disposed to sayings than doings. Mr.
the author, is, we fear, but indifferently fur-.
nished with the dramatic faculty; as a poet,.
however, his talents are far above fred:ociity;
arAl we may say of his translations from Horace,
that they are among the best we have seen.
