CONVICTION OF AN OUTRAGE

MANUFACTURER.

At length the law has overtaken one of the manufac-
turers of crime in Ireland—a tribe of ingenious vagabonds
quite peculiar to this country. As we attach some im-
portance to the circumstance, we shall hero introduce the
report of the case :
MIDLETON SESSIONS.—FRIDAY.

James Hallaran was indicted for wilful and corrupt
perjury, in having sworn in his informations before Mr.
Knaresborough, Stipendiary Magistrate for the East
Riding of Cork, that his house at Ballyhandra, was at-
tacked by a body of armed men on the night of the 17th
of September, or the morning of the 18th ; that one John
Finn presented a pistol at him, and that James Farrell and
David Connery had robbed him of several pounds iu
money, and otherwise ill-treated him. Upon these in-
formations the parties had been committed to stand their
trial at the last assizes, but the prosecutor not appearing,
they were t flowed to stand out on bail.

James Farrell, David Connery, and John Finn, deposed
that they were placed as keepers on the lands on the night
in question, for rent due to Mr. Beamisb, and that they
never entered Hallaran's house at all, or-saw him during
that period, nor did they see any one else do it.
On cross-examination by Mr. Bullen, Farrell, and Con-
nery, admitted that they had been charged with man-
slaughter, and Finn admitted that his brother had been
arrested for manslaughter also, through the instrumentality
of the prisoner Hallaran.
Catherine Downing and Mary Leary also swore that
they were in Hallaran's house that night, doing harvest
work for him, and that no attack was made upon it, nor no
occurrence of the kind took place. They admitted, on
cross-examination, that they were strollers about the
country, and that the prisoner owed them money for wages,
for work they had done for him.
Mr. Bullen addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner,
and contended that the evidence was of such a nature that
it could not convict him.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Baldwin) said that the prisoner
was found guilty of a most heinous crime—nothing less
than of having falsely charged other persons with a capital
offence, that not only perilled their lives, but also deprived
them f their liberties. As there was not a single re-
deeming or palliating feature in the prisoner's case, be
would inflict the highest penalty which the law awarded,
and transport him for seven years.
The conviction of this worthy disciple of Paddy M.Kew
created the greatest satisfaction throughout the whole
country.
In September last a full report of the outrage, for in-
venting which this fellow has been convicted and sentenced
to transportation, appeared in the Dublin Evening Post.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sic—As I am sure you sill be happy to promulgate any
thing that will benefit your feaow-creatures, I confidently
send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure
from a viclent attack of that dreadful malady the gout,
which I have obtained by mere aeriextitrreelipg assured
you will give it publicity in your widely (imitated Paper :-

the 31st of May last, and suffered the most dreadful agony
till the following Wednesday, when I was recommended to
apply to a Mr. 'reaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-
street, Cheanside. for a bottle of embrocation for the gout.
a remedy discovered by his father, and by which Lwairtold
he had cured himself. At that moment: my sufferings
would have induced me to apply anything. I therefore ob-
tained a. bottle of this embrocation, for which I paid 63. 6d.,
and applied it immediately, and to my delight and asto.
nishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased. In two
days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout
had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy
I should have had at least six weeks of suff:ring, as I bad
in former attacks.

I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of
the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease,
and for which, until now, it,has been said there was co
cure, that they may know where to obtain the ssme relief.

The Bill was then read a second time and ordered to
be referred to a Select Committee.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second
reading of the Bill to provide for the proper care and
education of infants convicted of felony. The plan had
been carried into effect to a certain extent by a very
excellent Society, which was set on foot with the view
of reclaiming those unfortunate children who it was
found always came out of prison as bad, if not worse
than they vent in, and who, in too many cases, were
encouraged in wickedness and crime 1.5, their parents.
There was some difficulty in interfering with the pa-
rental rights, but the Court of Chancery, exercising
the prerogative of the Crown as pater patrice, had the
power of interfering in cases where the parental au-
thority might be exercised to the detriment of the child,
and where it was possessed of property. The abject of
the present Bill was to extend to the poor
child convicted of felony the protection of the
Court of Chancery, so that it might be rescued from the
hands of the parents that would initiate it in crime.
He apprehended that such a measure would be liable
to no objection. He claimed no merit to himself for
making the proposition as it had been suggested to him
by the very excellent Society to which he had already
alleded.—(Hear.)
The Duke of RICHMOND was not aware of what
the provisions of the 811 were, or whether they were
sufficiently guarded in the details, but he thought tho
measure was one which was calculated to effect great
good. One of its advantages would be, that it would
enable Magistrates instead of sending children to prison
again and again to come out worse than they went in,
to apply at once to• the Court of Chancery, and give
the child into its custody. He would give his cordial
support to the Bill.
LordCOLBORNE fully concurred in the advantages
which the measure was calculated to confer, and trusted
that before the present session terminated it would pass
into law. _

The Marquis of NORMAN BY was gratified to find
that the Bill had received the general concurrence of
their Lordships, and believed it would be productive of
great benefit to the unfortunate children, who were
thrown in such numbers at an early age into these pri-
sons, merely to become hackneyed in the ways of vice
and crime.—(Hear, hear.)
The 8,11 was then read a second•time and ordered to
be committed to-morrow.

hoods, such as these Tory scribes, deserve a more
severe punishment than men who commit outrages,
we agree with him. His supporters in the press
are daily and wilfully guilty of that offence which
some Irish electors:may practise once a year, per-
haps, and for which these Tory scribes assert the
said electiors ought to be deprived of all political
ptivileges. They have pronounced sentence, in
this conclusion, on themselves, and we have some
confidence that they will be constrained to early the
sentence into execution.

DUTCH MAIL.

AMSTERDAM, JULY 14.—We learn from Paris that
M. Rochussen has signed the treaty of commerce. We
wait for the confirmation of this news.

A letter from Frankfort of July 11, says, " A report
of an expected general act of clemency of the King of
Prussia, a report which people so willingly believe, has
been for ume days past circulated here in such a man-
ner that its authenticity can scarcely be doubted. Per-
sons who are in general well-informed consider it as cer-
tain that the solemnity of doing homage to the King of
Prussia will be distinguished by the publication of a ge-
neral amnesty. Such a noble act would excite universal
gratitude.

Baron Solomon Rot.hschild, who arrived here some
weeks ago from Vienna, will go to-morrow to Carlsruhe,
in order to make an arrangement respecting the loan
which the Government of Hesse Darmstadt proposes to
contract.

The so-often repeated reports of an Austrian loan
miy be most positively contradicted ; no such plan has
existed, and all that has been said on the subject is pure
fiction.

ELBERFELD; JULY 12.—W e learn from good autho-
rity that the Russian Crown Prirce, travelling under
the title of Count cf Beraflinsky, is going by way of
Cologne, Elbnrfeld, Brelefeld, litnover, and Hamburgh,
to Kiel, where he will embark for St. Peterstturgh. He
is to pass through this town on the 15th ; 40 horses are
ordered to be kept in readiness for him.—Dutch Papers,
Nluly 13.

BRUNSWICK, JUNE 30.—Many false reports. have
lately been circulated here respecting the health of Duke
William, some even declaring him to be dead. Some
light may, perhaps, be thrown on the origin of these false
reports by the placards which were found this morning
posted up in several quarters of the city. They referred
to Duke Charles of Brunswick, whom they highly ex-
tolle...t, aril seemed to be written by a skilful hand.
the author is not known ; but as an opinion similar to
that expressed by him on the placards has of late been
frequently met with among the lower _classes, these
-plaoards cannot well be looked upon as the unlawful
act of some idler.—lllOgdebut Gazette.
liamanaou, JULY 1 l.—Th.naigning Duke of Bruns-
wick arrived at this capital on Itv 7th of this month,
on his return from his tour in Italy.
On the 4th of July a steamer arrived at Mayenec
for the first time direct from London.—Hamburg Byr-

CONSOLATIONS OF RELIGION.—A day or two
ago the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court or-
dered an insolvent to be sworn, preparatory to his discharge.
The insolvent, who was said to be a Methodist, then turned
to the reporters' bix, and exel:imed " I am not ashamed of
it, and I wish it to go forth to the world that the text of last
Sunday was, Cast thy care on the Lord, and the Lord careth
for thee.' "

An affray took place on the 13th inst. between a
party of rural police and the workmen employed on the South-
ampton railway, between this city and Basingstoke. The po-
lice, in attempting to take one of the party into custody, were
beaten off, but returning in sufficient force, they succeeded in
capturing some of the most violent of their assailants; four
of whom were committed by the Magistrates on the next day
for two months to the House of Correction.--Hampshire
Telegraph.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—We have
great pleasure in stating, that, after an unexampled depression
in the silk-stocking trace for the last three years, which almost
seemed to denote its utter extinction, an increased demand has
arisen, particularly at Derby, for that manufacture; the num-
ber of frames employed in that place being reduced to less than
a third of the number in 1836. A great number of workmen
having left, hands have become so scarce, that one of the mas-
ters has been under the necessity of coming to Nottingham to.
seek for workmen. There is some hope that the stockinges
may yet see better day,=, as long stockings are graduallycomipg.
into fashion ; the full-dress of the higher classes isbeicnovianreiallye
long hose, with elastic knee-bands. Should this
reigning fashion, to wear full-fashioned hose,zdincut-
under wear be no longer required, the frames,:
was the case in
could not supply the demand, and stockings „be at a pre.

Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the
New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a
nlan of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with-
out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three
barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons
et water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument.
The number of seconds required with one pump less than
With the other, will be its gain in time and labour.
The competitors should find the pumps and the publie the
P'Pes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew
" Mails about raising water as sucking monkeys.
Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo-
attien to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun-
tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the
delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering
0f 6.,000 imperial gallons of water per minute.
tind now to congratulate all nations upon the complete Pie-

nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifying

THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.

Yesterday our Most Gracious Queen completed her 21st
year, but the usual rejoicings are fixed for this day. The
illuminations will be very genaral, no doubt, from its being
the first birth-day since her Majesty's marriage.
Nearly every city and town throughout the country will
celebrate the happy event with ,public dinners and balls.
At Leamington Spa, Cheltenham, Bath, Brighton, Has-

the day closing with balls.

NSPECTION OF THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS
BY PRINCE ALBERT.
This morning the annual inspection of the Regiment of
Life Guards and the several Battalions of Foot now sta.
tioned at the Wellington, Charing-cross, Knightsbridge,
and Portman Barracks, took piece on the Parade at St.
James's Paik. By half.past nine the battalion of foot were
formed in line, which extended wholly across the Parade.
The Cavalry took up their station near the Treasury.
The morning threatened rain, but notwithstanding the
unfavourable indications of the weather, there was a large
assemblage of :fashionably :dressed persons, especially in
the centre of the parade, which was set apart for the friends
of the officers on duty.
The splendid bands having performed the National
Anthem at precisely ten o'clock, Prince Albert, accom-
panied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
the Duke of Wellington, Lord Hill, the Commander of
the Forces, and a numerous Staff, rode upon the parade,
when the troops presented arms, and the band again per-
formed the Anthem.
His Royal Highness then proceeded in front and rear of
the troops, they still presenting arms—and this afforded
an excellent opportunity for the hundreds who were anxious
to obtain a sight of the Prince, and to whem his Royal
Highness bowed repeatedly.
The troops then marched in slow and quiet time, the
bands playing the whole time. The inspection being con-
cluded his Royal Highness and Staff returned to Bucking_
ham Palace. He was loudly cheered and seemed much
pleased with the cordial reception he was greeted with.
The people who had expected to make a trifle by letting
tables and forms to admit of a better view, were disap-
pointed, as the police would not allow one to be placed in
the Park.

EFFECT.

At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam
power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an
average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30,
45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
sea, certify similar results.
Bat, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to
Perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pump in pre-
ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense,
Pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with-
out friction,
Therefore, let us at once come to deeds to try the slues-
titm, and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough."
CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST

TO those afflicted with GOUT, RHEUMA-
TISM, LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, TIC-DOLO-
ItEUX, PAINS in the HEAD and FACE, often mistaken for the
TOOTH-ACHE, &c. &c.
There is no medicine to whose praise higher and more numerous
testimonials have been given, than to BLAIR'S GOUT AND
RHEUMATIC PlLLS,—from all parts of the Kingdom, and every
rank in society, their great efficacy is acknowledged. The recent case
of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of
Poland, is one of the most convincing proofs of their great and extra-
ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev
Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton-Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late .
Majesty, and Hector eftripplegate, London, who, with a spirit of the
kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy
eflbets. Cases have from timele time been published, as transmitted
by, or who can bear testimony to their extraordinary efficacy from
Mr. Smeeton, Leeds, oh. Drewry Derby, Mr. Noble, Boston, Mr.
Drury, Lincoln, Mr. hatter.:l3l, Barton, Mr. Hall, Gsinsborough,
Mr. Gardner, Barbary, Mr. May, Evesham, Mr. Walker, Malmes-
ury, Mr. Ching, Launceston, and a multitude of others throughout
the Kingdom, particularly in London and its vicinity, too numerous
for insertion in an advertisement.
The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheumatic
ffr:rt Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head and
Face, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache, Tic-Doloreux, &c., will find
from the use of this Medicine, that speedy relief for which it is so
celebrated. And while its efficacy is unparalleled for the foregoing
diseases, it must be consolatory to the afflicted with Gout, to be as-
sured that it possesses the property of preventing the disease flying to
the brain, stomach, or other vital parts.

THE HALIFAX RENEGADE.

TO TAE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Si ti,--Your leading article in last evening's
Sun has very much pleased a large majority of the
electors of the borough of Halifax, and you may
(if you think proper) inform Mr. Charles Wood,
that the sooner he looks out for a Tory consti-
tuency the better, as I am very certain that the
electors of Halifax would sooner support an out-
and-out Tcry than vote for Mr. Wood, after the
aid he has afforded to Lord Stanley, whose Bill,
shoftld it pass into a law, will disfranchise one-half
of the Irish constituency ; and how Mr. Vv ood can
reconcile the vote he has given upon Lord Stanley's
Bill, with his often-repeated profession of carrying
out the Reform Bill, is for him to explain. At all
agents he has done with Halifax, at the end of the
present Parliament ; indeed it is currently reported
that a very large body of the electors are desirous
that a requisition should be presented to Mr. Wood,
cslling upon him to resign his seat, I hope a good
Reformer will be found to represent our borough in
due time. I am, &c.,
AN ELECTOR OF THE BOROUGH OF
HALIFAX.

CIETY, 351, Strand.

Capital, 230,000/.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz. :-
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being. divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to lOW., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured. on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included..

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:bah deserve little sympathy should he become th• victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could se readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,

THURSDAY, APRIL 30, SIX P. M.-Wall-street has been

income of landlords changes hands in the shape of rent.
The amount thus temporarily absorbed, added to the divi-
dends of institutions about to be paid over, will be front
three millions to four and a half million dollars, which
will seek an outlet in a few days, and have a
_great
effect upon the market. The transactions at,,,,the Stock
Exchange evince nearly the same features as were
apparent yesterday. Sales were small, and at a further

THE CHINA QUESTION.

Lord Brougham has, we understand, returned the fol-
lowing answer to the Corporation of Merchants at Edin-
burgh, who sent him a petition to present, against the
opium war :

GRENOBLE.

GENTLEMEN,—I have received here, on my way
homeward, the intimation that you did me the honour
of entrusting your petition, respecting the unhappy war
with China, to my care; and as 1 cannot arrive in time
to present it before the discussion comes on, I hasten to
apprise you of this circumstance, in order that you may
apply to some other Member of the House.
I feel very sensible of your kindness in making the
first application to me, doubtless because you are aware
how deeply-rooted my opinions arc upon such subjects,
and you may well suppose my habitual hatred to war
would become stronger than ever, at the sight of a con-
test such as you describe the present to be. Whether
or not your statement is borne out by the documents,
I am, of course, unable to juflge, having not as yet had
access to them ; but if it is, and if the people of England
show themselves patient of such a war for sueh objects,
I can only say that it will prose a bitter mortification
to those who, for so many years, have been endeavour-
ing to spread amongst them the information, and
to inculcate the principles, which it was fondly hop :d
would make all unlawful wars, that is, wars not waged
in self-dePoce, a thing only known in the past history
of national crime F.

Fur the comparative ignorance of the :acts in which
I unavoidably speak, and for the absence which occa-
sions it, I am well aware that I owe )ou an .Tology.
It is the fist instance of my being detained from the
discharge of pubic duties, unless %hen pr vented by id-
ness. The circumstances are not unknown to you,
which have now disposed me to a temporary intermis-
sion of those exertions.

IbaveibeConour to be,
Your hiithful and obedient servant,
