TERMINATION OF THE RELIEF SYSTEM.
DunuN, AUG. 10.—The following very importan
circular has been issued :

" Relief Commission-office, Dublin Castle,
Aug. 6, 1847.
" Sir,—The Relief Commissioners have received
many communications from committees remonstrat-
ing against closing the temporary relief in their re-
spective districts on the 15th of August. The ob-
jections advanced are :-1. That the harvest will not
be in fall operation by that period. 2. General want
of means of the poor. 3. That the poor-law guardians
have no funds. With regard to the first, the Commis-
sioners wish it to he understood that they do not
consider the actual state of the harvest, in the pre-
cise locality, to be the only datum for discontinuance
of relief to the able-bodied, since it is clear that the
reduced price of provisions, together with the general,
if not local, increasing demand for labour, must afford
means of earning a subsistence to many who are now
dependent on public support. That this is the
case, and that many who ought not have still
been lingering on the gratuitous relief, has been
proved in several places by very light tests.
Many have given up the rations for themselves
and families rather than perform three or four hours'
labour, and others rather than enter the poorhouse.
The Temporary Relief Act was passed, not as a
remedy for any financial embarrassments in the union,
nor for any general poverty in the country, but solely
to replace for one season the food of which the people
were deprived by the failure of the potato crop, and
the operation of the Act was to be discontinued as the
different crops .of the ensuing season should come
forward, and provisions become more abundant.
As. these are gradually in course of being realised,
the Commissioners feel that their functions must
close, and the poor-law guardians must make the neces-
sary efforts tor such partial early collection as
may be sufficient to meet the first emergency:
There are still some remote districts where the re
lief may be continued by special permission after the
15th August, for limited periods, on account of the
peculiar extent of distress in them, added to an un-
happy neglect of that cultivation which' might have
provided an earlier and more general stuck for the
support of the people, but even in these the scale
must be very much reduced. The period for the
revision of the lists, iii reference to individuals only,
is now past, and they must be reduced by classes
even where the relief is allowed to be partially con-
tinued. It must be recollected that nothing butcom-
pelling men to make greater efforts for self support,
and to avail themselves of means that are really
within their reach, will prevent the great amount of
disastrous results that must otherwise ensue from a
sudden stoppage, on a great scale, at the end of Sep-
tember, after which all advances under the Tempo-
rary Act must cease.
"By order of the Relief Commissioners.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1847.

When the proportionate numbers of Liberals,
Peelites, and Protectionists shall be made visible by
the re-assembling of Parliament, the latter class of
politicians will most certainly perceive the futility of
their aspirations for the possession of office. At
present they are so blinded by the delirium of
electioneering excitement that they have not yet
perceived their own impotence and unpopularity
Before September has closed, however, they must
recognise
the extravagant weakness of their position.
Still we are so far from anticipating any advantage
to accrue from this circumstance, that we are con-
vinced the result will prove an annoyance to the
public, and a further source of infamy to the ogri.
cultural minority. Instead of endeavouring to
compensate for their past transgressions by
their gradual conversion to a more rational
policy, we are prepared to see the Protec-
tionist bigotries confirmed and their animosities
intensified. The experience acquired during the two
last sessions cannot be forgotten. The dispersed
phalanx of Conservatism then fund, that as it would
be an absurdity to struggle against the overwhelming
forces of their antagonists, so the manifestation of a fac-
tious opposition would at once gratify their own
miserable spleen, and tend to retard the passage of the
popular measures. Having acquired this knowledge,
the Protectionists will scarcely be disposed to refrain
from the employment of the negative power still in
their possession. Time can be frittered away in pre
tended discussions, debates may be almost indefinitely
adjourned at the first reading, and at the
second reading
impediments may be thrown
in the way of Government Bills by piece.
meal objections, clause after clause, whenever
the
wh
the House is resolved into Committee. These things
will not be lost upon the rancorous antagonists of con-
stitutional reform; and hence the popular representa-
tives, and the popular Administration, will be re-
quired to evince an unusual share of patience, acti-
vity, unanimity, and determination.
Already the probable strength of the different
classes of politicians may be tolerably conjectured;
and what is, if possible, of yet greater linP ortance,
the relative talent of the three different
(livi-ions
Liberals, Peelites, and Protectionists, may beesti:
mated. The talent enlisted on the side
of the Protec-
tionists is not by any means so formidable
the numerical force of that party, and
its nuas
merical force, when contrasted with that of the
Liberals and Peelites, or even with the Liberals alone,
is absolutely insignificant. The very fact of any man
entertaining principles so opposed to the deductions

PORTSMOUTH, NOT. B.—The appointments for the
officers of the Victory to be turned over to the Blen-
heim steam guard-ship came down yesterday.
The Terrible's defects are being made good at this
port with much dispatch. The engineer department
in this dockyard, so ably presided over by Mr. Andrew
Murray, is worked night and day to get through
with the work which is now so pressing at this port.
We have seen the time when one-half of the engi-
neering work at present going on at this port in steam
machinery would have caused a reinforcement of
artizans from Woolwich to have been sent down, at a
great expense of transit and maintenance; but matters
are better managed now.
The Centaur steam-frigate, the Frolic and Helena
16-gun sloops, and the Champion, 18, and Serpent,
16, are quite ready for commission at this port.
The Comet steam-vessel received her fourth com-
mander this day, Lieut. Rigge, late of tile Trident.
WooLwicn, Nov. B.—The Virago steam-vessel,
Commander John Lunn, arrived at Woolwich, at
eleven o'clock to-day, from the Mediterranean station,
and last from Portsmouth, and is to be paid off here.
The Stromboli, steam-vessel, Commander Fisher, is
ordered to be paid off here on Wednesday, the 10th
instant, and she will be commissioned on the following
day by Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk.
The Violet, Dover steam-packet, was taken out of
dock to day, and the Dee, steam troop-ship, Master-
Commander Driver, taken into the dock to be
examined.

The Cyclops steam-vessel has had her steam up
to-day to try her engines in the basin.
Thirty shipwrights are to be hired to complete the
Justitia and Wye convict-ships, as the shipwrights
on the establishment in the yard have so much work
on hand.

THE SCOTCH AlEmntits.—Wo have every reason
to bt-lieve that a better understanding is about to be
come to, respecting the mode in which Scotch business
or Scotch affairs shall be introduced and conducted in
Parliament, than has ever been adopted since the Reform
Bill came into existence. This, certainly, is very much
to be desired ; and we are sure the notification of it, and
still more the realisation of it, will be received and
hailed with great satisfaction by our countrymen.—

BEAUTIFUL TEETH,

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
_ . . .

A WHITE POWDER for the TEETH, composed of the choicest
and most recherche ingr, dients of the Oriental herbal of inestimable
value in preserving and beautifying the TEETH and strengthening
the GUMS' and in giving sweetness and perfume to the breath. It
extirpates all tarts rous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-
like whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its anti-septik and anti-
scorbutic properties exercise a highly beneficial and sWary influ-
ence: they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce
a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the bright.
ness and colour indicative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming
their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh
zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication ;
the breath else, from the salubrious and disinfecting qualities of the
Odonto, attains a sweetness and fragrance truly grateful to its pos.
sessor. Its truly efficient and fragrant aromatic properties have ob-
tained Its selection by the Queen, the Court, arid Royal Family of
Great Britain, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.—
Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address to be en-
graved on the Government stamp, thus, " A. ROWLAND and SON,

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

An old man named Edward Mathewson was charged
with stealing a boiler, the property of Messrs. J. A.
'Watson and Co., iron founders, of Judd-street, New-
road. . .

It appeared that a number of articles were lying in
the front of the prosecutor's premises, and the prisoner
was observed to take up the article, with which he
walked off, but was overtaken and given into the cus-
tody:of a policeman.
The prisoner said he acknowledged that he was
guilty of the theft, but he was urged to it by extreme
want. He had met with a severe injury in his arm.
which, combined with his extreme age, totally de-
prived him of earning a penny.
He was fully committed for trial.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

A pleasant little comedietta, from the practised
hand of Buckstone, was produced here last evening
for the purpose of introducing Mrs. Fitzwilliam to
a Lyceum audience. It is entitled The Rough Diu
mond—the said diamond being -Margery (Mrs. Fitz
william)—a rough, uneducated good-hearted country
girl, who is married to Sir William Evergreen
(Selby), an old dandy, who in vain endeavours to
polish her. She, however, prefers, to gossip with her
cousin Joe, a country gawkey (capitally made up and
admirably acted by Buckstone) to all the Italian,
French, music, and dancing, with which it is at-
tempted to indoctrinate her. Sir William is au
desespoir, when he compares Margery with the po-
lished Lady Plato, who is the best-bred woman in the
world, but when Sir William discovers that Lady
Plato is carrying on an intrigue with a certain Capt.
Blenheim, he thanks his; stars: that he is not Lord
Plato, and satisfied that a rough diamond is better
than polished paste, he makes himself happy with
arch, honest, albeit vulgar and unpolished Margery.
The piece was put upon the stage with the most ex-
quisite taste, and was admirably played. It is almost
needless to add that it was completely successful.

THE SCOTCH MEMBERS:We have every reason
to believe that a better understanding is about to be
come to, respecting the mode in which Scotch business
or Scotch affairs shall be introduced and conductedin
Parliament, than has ever been adopted since the Reform
Bill came into existence. This, certainly, is very much
to be desired ; and we Are sure the notification of it, and
still more the realisation of, it, will be received and
bailed with great satisfaction by our countrymen.—

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)
William Giles, a rough looking fellow, was charged
Nv )til indecently assaulting Elizabeth Elson, a re-
-8
pectable married woman.
The prosecutrix stated that last night she was
returning home from the Pavilion Theatre, accom-
panied by her sister, her brother-in-law, and her
toband. After leaving the theatre they had been
a public-house, and had something to drink, and
her husband being rather the worse for liquor,
her brother-in law took him by the arm, and they
s'ent on first together, witness and her sister follow-
-I,r ~behind. When they arrived at Somerset-street,
" hitechapel, they met the prisoner and four other
Young men. They were all much intoxicated, and
dancing and singing as they came along. The
prisoner came behind witness, put his arm round her
!‘list, and conducted himself in a manner too grossly
indelicate to be mentioned. Witness and her sister
screamed out, and a policeman came up and appre-
ended the prisoner. The others ran away.
The prisoner in his defence said he was sorry for
what he had done. He was very drunk at the time.
M YARDLEY' observed that this was no excuse, and
he must take the consequences of such acts. Re-
!Pectable females could not be allowed to be outraged
In this manner by a disgusting, drunken brute. He
should fine him 51., or four weeks' imprisonment.

Was observed to take up the article, with which he
Walked off, but was overtaken and given into the cus-
t°4:ef a policeman.
The prisoner said he acknowledged that he was
guilty of the theft, but he was urged to it by extreme
Want. He had mkt with a severe injury in his arm,
which, combined with his extreme age, totally de-
prived him of earning a penny.
He was fully committed for trial.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

A new melodrama, entitled The Inundation, was
produced here last night, with complete success. The
scenic effects of the inundation of the Loire are ad-
mirable, and they are made to increase the intensity
of the interest of the drama in a very ingenious
manner. There is no great novelty in the characters
—we have a virtuous heroine (admirably acted by
Miss Vincent), a villanous old miser, and a lover,
as usual in all melodramas—but the materials are
used to the best advantage. The drama is well
built, the interest is kept up to the last, and we
would recommend all lovers of the romantic melo-
drama to see The Inundation.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.
The new grand spectacle of the Camp of Silesia,
which was produced here last evening, is one of the
most gorgeous spectacles ever presented to
of military
It is, in fact, a series of superb tableaux vivans of the
wars of old Frederick of Prussia. The subject
affords ample opportunities for the display
spectacle, of which Mr. Batty has known well ho n,
to avail himself. It is the most magnificent thing ::‘f
the kind that has been produced for years.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

A pleasant little comedietta, from the practised
hand of Buckstone, was produced here last evening
for the purpose of introducing Mrs. Fitzwilliam to
a Lyceum audience. It is entitled The Rough Dia
mood—the said diamond being Margery (Mrs. Fitz
william)—a rough, uneducated good-hearted country
girl, who is married to Sir William Evergreen
(Selby), an old dandy, who in vain endeavours to
polish her. She, however, prefers, to gossip with her
cousin Joe, a country gawkey (capitally made up and
admirably acted by Buckstone) to all the Italian,
French, music, and dancing, with which it is at-
tempted to indoctrinate her. Sir 'William is au
desespoir, when he compares Margery with the po-
lished Lady Plato, who is the best-bred woman in the
world, but when Sir William discovers that Lady
Plato is carrying on an intrigue with a certain Capt.
Blenheim, he thanks his, stars: that he is not Lord
Plato, and satisfied that a rough diamond is better
than polished paste, he makes himself happy with
arch, honest, albeit vulgar and unpolished Margery.
The piece was put upon the stage with the most ex-
quisite taste, and was admirably plaed. It is almost
needless to add that it was completely successful.

" Sir. —lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering front which induced no to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining, any satisfactory relief from pain. Daring
one .1 the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and ItiIEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken thorn himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my Joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored ine to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
