TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday came on the second .reading of
the new Alien Bill. It is difficult to descriLe the vas
rious sources of its impolicy. The first thins, which
will suggest itself will probr.bly.he, that it is the
w offspring of the party in the Parisian press hich is
endeavouring to blow the sparks of miss ender.
standing between the two countries by dee
daring that a Frenchman cannot walk the streets
of London without being insulted. But how this
party should have attained to the influence here
which should lead to its being taken up by the Go.
vernment, must be a mystery till explained. Clearly
if anything were wanted to distress anchirinoy such
Englishmen and families as may have reasons tor (con-
tinuing to attend to their affairs in France, it wt iuld
he precisely this movement. If there are any LIT-
' li,h workmen who by the better feelings of th eir
French associates or other causes have contrived to
hold their ground in French employment,
this is the thing to sweep them out. If
there was anything that could encourage: the over
lively portion of the French public to believe that the
English Government was in bodily fear of the pro-
gress of the French revolution, it is this and nothing
else. Supposing there to be the fear, it ought to
have been disguised. The most like a distinct state-
ment of the cause of alarm, is that Frenchman were
seen in Trafalgar-square on the day of the Cochrane
assembly. I saw one too ; at least in Parliame at-
street, whichis the same thing. I distinctly saw a
man with a beard, who was not the Member for Bir-
mingharn. And so we are legislating against the
man with a beard.

The answer officially given to the objection of the
Act being wounding to foreigners, was ludicrously
incompetent. It was, " that a foreigner might always
escape the annoyance by naturalizing himeelf."
Surely in vain has a Noble Lord in another place been
sent to school by the French Minister. A man can•
not be naturalized in one country without giving up
his character of citizen in the other. Fancy then
every grumbling Englishman, who should complain
of a French law to hold him out as suspected and
make him liable at any time to sun as:-. deportation,
being comforted by a French Minister's assurance,
that to escape from it he had nothing to do but be
naturalized, the fees of which had been very much
reduced. By reasoning of this sort the world is
governed; and in this manner the midge's wing is
made to grow into a vulture's.
Suppose the fact to be, that another branch of the
Legislature is frightened out of its propriety, and
deems a general war the likeliest way to escape with
bag and baggage. Is that a reason why the stronger
vessel should throw itself into the same mistake ?
But so it is. The Whigs are always invincible when
they whistle the Tories to help. And so the second
reading passed by 141 against 22.
On Tuesday there was no House, only twenty-
six Members being present.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

Africa in search of gliiers. She had just previously
made her 29th capture, the 26th since Commander
Chads bas had the vessel—an admirable sample of pp
severance well rewarded, which we never heard cqu:
in success afloat; a fine " lu k out" is kept on boar(

The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the financial ques-
tion, said the meeting had been called to consider and
remind the proprietors that since he had become con-
nected with the concern, the annual receipts had
risen from between 300,0001 and 400,0001. to
700,0001., and he assured the shareholders there was
every prospect of the traffic still going on increasing.
He announced that it was not the intention of the
company to enter into any fresh liabilities, or
engage in any new works. He then moved
the resolution to authorise the raising of the sum of
6V5,920/. upon a minimum guaranteed interest, in
perpetuity, of six per cent. per annum, which sum
•pill be divided rateably amongst the shareholders u!
the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Rail-
way Companies, in the proportion of one 101 share of
guaranteed stock for each 1001. of the paid-up capital
of either of the said two companies, according to the
arrangements now existing between them. This
resolution, he stated, was strictly legal and in con-
formity with their existing Acts of Parliament.
Some exception was taken to the legality of the
proposal, but Mr. Duncan explained that it was
strictly legal, and ultimately the resolution was put
to the meeting and carried.
The CHAIRMAN then moved the resolution autho-
rising the directors to complete the amalgamation
with the Norfolk and Newinarket and Chesterford
Companies, and, in doing so, he stated that the ar-
rangement would not only increase the traffic of the
concern, but it would have the effect of reducing the
expenditure of the joint companies by nearly 20,0001.
per annum.

NORFOLK RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of
this company took place yesterday, at the Company's
Offices, Guildhall-buildings, for the purpose of consi-
dering an agreement proposed to he made with the
Eastern Counties Railway Company for an amalga-
mation of the two companies upon certain terms and
conditions ; and, in case such agreement should
receive the sanction of the meeting, to authorise the
directors to take all such steps as might be necessary
for carrying the same into full effect, by application
to Parliament or otherwise, and to empower them to
lease the rates and tolls of the railway under the pro-
visions of the several Acts now in force.
Mr. ?et°, M.P., took the chair at twelve o'clock,
in the; absence of Mr. A. Duff, the chairman of the
company, who was prevented from attending in con.
sefluence of a domestic bereavement.
The SEcRETART having read the advertisement
calling the meeting, proceeded to read the following
special report :
" The circular addressed to each of the proprietors
will have apprised them that this meeting is called to
consider the expediency of entering into an agreement
with the Eastern Counties Company for an atualgatna-
tio'e of the two companies.
" It was stated in the directors' last report, that the
great difficulty which this company has had to struggle
with was the heavy amount of the working expenses
of the line as compared with the gross receipts.
" When the Norfolk Railway was projected the rail-
way system was nearly in its infancy; but the expo
vience of the last few years has abundantly proved, that
where two separate lines exist, running into each other,
the one connected with the metropolis, and the other
with various seaports, the resources of the latter line
cannot be se full) developed, nor the working expenses
so economically managed, as when the two lines are
-placed under the charge and conduct of the company
possessing the metropolitan terminus.
" Taking these circumstances into their consideration,
together with the strung. opinion expres•ed upon the
subject at the last general meeting, your directors fel;
that the time had arrived, when it was most desirable to
*feet a permanent union with the Eastern Counties
Company, whose lines are su intimately connected with
'these of this company.
" They accordinely opened a negotiation with their
directors, which was met by them in the most frank anti
cordial spirit ; and, after some discussion, the following
terms have been agreed upon, subject to the approval or
this meeting :
" Thee se soon as practicable after this meeting, the
lines of the Norfolk Railway shall be placed in the hands
of the Eastern Counties Company, and worked by them
in conjunction with their own line, under the d,rection
of a joint committee; a lease being granted by thi.
company, under the powers of their present Act, of their
rates and tolls to three or more of the directors of the
Eastern Counties Company, as the leg al means of carry-
ing out the arrangement until the
sanction of Parliament
can be obtained to the permanent amalgamation of the
companies. .
" That from the period of their taking possession
h of
the Norfolk lines, the Eastern Countiee C
take upon themselves the payment of the interest n
rowed capital and guaranteed shares of the Norfolk
and
Lowestoft Companies, and shall pay to the shareholders
a dividend after the same rate as shall from time to time
be declared on the capital stock of the Eastern Counties
a a Ia tat
the
the
Company.
" That the debts and liabilities of the Norfolk and
Lowestoft Companies shall be liquidated under th,
direction of the joint committee, aided by the Easteru
Counties Company, who are to have a lien charge upon
lthe property of the Norfolk Company for any sums
which they may advance for this purpose.l
" That application shall he made to
earliest practicable period, for an Act to authorisei
permanent amalgamation of the companies,
in which
provision shall be made for giving to the Norfolk
share-
holders the same rights and privileges which are enjoyed
by one Eastern Counties shareholders.
. "That in the meantime, until such Act can be ob-
tained, the Norfolk Company shall do all acts that may
be necessary for giving legal effect to the arrangement.
mentnt.e
and permit the Eastern Counties Company
to work
line in their name, the establishments of the two Com-
panies being blended together as far as possible.
" That all disputes and differences shall be left to
arbitration."
• The CHAIRMAN having shortly stated the object of
the meeting, which is fully developed in the report,
one calculated
that the bargain proposed to be made was
calculated to benefit both companies, and
se - felt no.cordita doubt that it would receive

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
AFTERNOON SITTING.

At the assembling of the delegates yesterday afternoon,
Mr. KYDD explained the result of his mission to Ire-
land in company with Mr. Leach. He said on their
arrival in Dublin they waited upon Mr. Patrick O'Hig-
gins, who had identified himself with the Chartists
of England, and was the most likely person to aid
them in accomplishing the object of their mission.
Through his instrumentalit' they had an interview with
the council of the Irish Confederation, who were as
anxious to see them as they were to see the council.
Mr. Doheny, Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., Captain O'Brien,
Mr. John Mitchell (United Irishman), Mr. Gavin
Duffy, and all the old members of the council, were pre-
sent, and the first question put to them was—" What
terms of union do you propose with the Irish people?"
They answered that they had no distinct line of policy to
propose but that they came there with the view of instruct-
ing the Irish people in the principles of the Charter, and
stated that the English Chartists had a feeling of sympathy
in common with the Irish people, and wished them God
speed in the political movement in which they were
engaged. Several of the members expressed themselves
in favour of the Charter; and Mr. Smith O'Brien said
he would support some of the points; and, judging from
the sympathy which they experienced, they had good rea
son to hope that the majority of the leaders of the Irish
people would soon be as democratic in their views as UR.
Chartists. A public meeting was held in the Princt's
Theatre on Easter Monday, and although the press in
London called it a failure, nearly 1,000 persons paid f,r
admission to the gallery, and a resolution in favour of the
Charter was passed without a single dissentient voice.
He urged the people at that meeting to adopt the People's
Charter as the basis of the Irish constitution, when they
obtained the repeal of the legislative union; and told them
aristocracylf!'hey did
andnc a
at he wouldon
e)y and from what o
chraavce to submit
he o
au n
during his visit, he was of opinion that the general feelirg
was in favour of the Charter. The meeting was honours('
by the pressnce of two special reporters from Dublin Castle.
At a private meeting afterwards held 501. was collected for
the purpose of establishing a branch Chartist Association
in Dublin. He stated in conclusion that he had witness~ d
many scenes of poverty and distress both in England at.d
Scotland, but never bad he witnessed such deplorable
destitution as was to be seen in Ireland. He met as
many as 25 persons sleeping on a turnpike road in the
vicinity of Dublin, where they had been all night,
having no home to go to, and he was told that they
were in the habit of cam ing straw on their backs and
laying down in the road or in the fields whenever they
were weary. "
Mr. J. Cumstrzsc (Edinburgh) said the people he
represented were beginning to lose faith in moral force
agitation, but moral force, he thought, was the only
means by which the constitutional rights of the people
to make their own laws could be obtained.

Mr. H. RANKIN (Edinburgh) said the Chartists oi
Edinburgh and Leith were determined to support what-
ever steps might be taken by the Assembly, and were
indifferent whether they were within the pile of the law
or not. At a public meeting held there they agreed to
form a national guard of 16,000 persons to put down
domestic anarchy and prevent foreign interference,
and it was to be divided and subdivided in regular
military order, and headed by captains, lieutenants, &c.

taken place since our last report. but there is no im-
provement to notice in the demand for any purpose, and
arrivals are upon a more extended scale. The pur-
chases made in Cod have been trifling at 251 to
251 5s per tun, at these rates holders are inclined
to realise. Seal has been operated in with much
caution, and prices tend downwards. Of all kinds
the supply is good. Southern is not much required, and
sellers are ready to accept 241 10s to 261 for good arid
fine, and 231 to 241 for low and middling quality. For
Sperm the market has a dull appearance, and holders
are willing to realise on account of the increasing stock.
The low rates that prevail for Linseed Oil have attracted
attention ; on the spot a good demand has beenlexperienced
for home consumption, and purchases to a fair extent
have been made by exporters. Rapeseed Oil is not much
in demand. Olive met with little attention, and prices
are receding. Cocoa
.Nut met with little attention, and
the stock is on the increase. Of Palm there are
several arrivals, and sellers are willing to make a
concession in the value. Of Ground Nut Oil 91 casks

quality. Lard Oil is dull of sale at 46s to 484 per c‘s t.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAASION HOUSE.

William Isaac Bowden, was brought before Mr Alder-
man Gibbs, upo❑ the charge of having embezzled seve-
ral sums of money, the property of his employer.
William Byrne, whalebone manufacturer, at 12,
Haberdasher-square, Milton-street, stated that on the
4th of March he paid the prisoner 111. 8s , on account of
his master, Mr. Myers, and the prisoner signed a receipt
for that amount in his presence. On the Bth of April
witness paid the prisoner 171. 25., and on the 15th of
April he paid the prisoner 71. 2s. 6d., and on the Ist of
May 51., all on account of Mr. Myers.
John Drave, combmaker, of the Minories, stated that
on the 25th of March he paid the prisoner 11. 18s. 6d., in
discharge of two aceounts produced, for goods which he
had purchased of Mr. Myers.
Lawrence Myers, of 88, Leadenhall-street, whalebone-
manufacturer, said—The prisoner has been in my service
as a clerk between three and four years. In March and
April last I had sold goods to the witnesses who have
given their evidence, and the prisoner was directed to
apply for payment. It was his duty, upon receiving any
money, to give it to me, or my son, or nephew, and then
I made entry of it in the cash-book, from which it was
the duty of the prisoner to post it in the ledger. Ile
has not accounted to me, nor is there any entry in the
cash-book or ledger of the above sum, as deposed to by
Mr. Byrne; but on the 12th of April he accounted to
me for the sum of 51., as received of Mr. Byrne. On
the Ist of May I had some conversation with Mr.
Williams, in the presence of the prisoner, as to Mr.
Byrne's account, and directed that an account of it
shou:d be sent in to Mr. Byrne, and the prisoner said he
had just come from Mr. Byrne's, and had received 51.,
which he handed to me. Subsequently the prisoner wished
to see me privately, and he 5.11 he had done wrong. I
said I suppose you have been robbing me, and I told hint
to go to his father, but he would nut, and I sent for his
father. By the ledger there appears to be due from
Byrne about 531. The prisoner has not accounted to
me for the sum received from Mr. Drave on the 25th of
March.

James Williams, in the service of Mr. Myers, said he
made out yesterday the account of the money owinkf, by
Mr. Byrne, and took it front the warehouse fair the pur-
pose of delivering it to that gentleman. Ott his way he
was overtaken by the prisoner, who said, " Oh, tor al's
sake, don't take that to Byrne's 1" I asked him for
what reason. He said, " Well, pray don't take it till
night, as I have been doing wrong ;" and I said, I sup-
pose you have been receiving money, t nd not accounting
for it. He said he had. I said what amount does Mr.
Byrne owe ? He said about 191. or 201. ; and I said you
had better go back with tae, aad explain to Mr. Myers
the whole affair. We then went back.

The prisoner was e,.rninitn-d for trial.
WORSb/P•STREET.

Mr. John Smith, a bone boiler in Thomas-street,
Whitectupel, appeared upon a summons, before Mr.
Hamadll, charged with having suffered a quantity or
noxious matter to" accumulate upon his premises, which
was calculated to be seriously detrimental to the health
of the surrounding neighbourhood.
The Solicitor to tke London Hospital, who was ac=
companied by the principal medical officers of that
institution, and the surgeons attached to the Whitechapel
Union, attended to support the prosecution.
nir. S. J. Birch, one of the medical attendants at the
London Hospital, stated that he proceeded on the 18(h
ult. to inspect the defendant's premises, where he found
a large quantity of bones heaped together, to the amount
of about two cart loads, within an open shed, situate
about 150 yards from the hospital. A portion of the
accumulation appeared to have undergone the process of
boiling, but he also observed some smaller heaps of bones
with putrescent animal matter adhering to them in a
raw state, and emieting a most offensive effluvium, which
he considered highly prejudicial to the patients at the
hospital and the inhabitants of the densely populated
streets in the immediate locality, The existence of such
impurities had a tendency to produce the disease called
hospital gangrene, erysipelas, and other dangerous ma-
ladies, and generally to retard the recovery of patients
suffering under the complaints of every description. Be
considered the process of boiling the bones to be less
noxious than their subsequent accumulation, but both
practices:were decidedly pernicious, and evolved injurious
gases which impregnated the atmosphere to the distance
of at least 300 yards.
Messrs. Byles and Liddle, surgeons to the parish,
corroborated the preceding evidence, and added, that on
again visiting the premises on Friday last, although the
offensive effluvia was considerably abated, owing to the
place having been saturated with haw, it still continued
to a most detrimental extent, and they noticed, on that
occasion, in addition to the bones, a large quantity of
tallow, the odour of which clearly indicated that it was
the produce of animal matter in a state of putrescence.
Mr. Liddle further stated, that be felt very ill for some
time after he had visited the premises, and expressed a
decided opinion that the effect of such noxious exha-
lations was highly prejudicial to the health of the in-
mates of the workhouses, both of which were situated
within a short distance of the defendant's premises,
and also to the general health of the locality, in which
it was .proved that .the mortality was greater, with
only one exception, than in any other district in the
metropolis.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said that it was
impossible for any one to exert themselves more
anxiously than he did to conduct their business in
the least offensive manner possible, to accomplish
which he had a fresh supply of bones, every day, and
that the medical witnesses were entirely erroneous it,
their conclusion that any matter of a putrescent charac-
ter was allowed to accumulate upon his premises.
Hastsitu, considered tile medical evidence in sup•
port of the charge was entirely conclusive as to the exis-
tence of the nuisance, and he should therefore order its
(tbAolute removal within the period of the Act, namely,
two days, and also adjudge the defendant to pay the costs
of the prosecution.

PEDESTRIANISM.
FULLER AND MOUNTJOY'S FORTY 'MI
MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.
Few pedestrian contests have of late excited more ge-
neral interest, both on account of the men engaged, and
the conditions of the competition, than the forty-Mil!
match between the ancient antagonists whose names 4esta
this report.
The meeting on Monday, was fixed on the turnpike'
road, near to Mr. Greatrex's, the Three Magpies, 11°1111.
slow Heath.
At a few minutes before twelve o'clock, the civil and
lively Bob Fuller appeared at the scratch, with his more
saturnine and shorter opponent. The contrast of the
men's styles is well known ; Mountjoy, with his head
slightly inclined to one side aid forward, seemed.ready
to " slouch" off in his peculiar style, while Bob, erect es
a dart, and graceful as a greyhound, smiled cheerfully.
Mountjoy was all his friends could have wished hiut to
be, but it was rumoured that Fuller had had gold, and
hence the application of a plaster and mustard poultices,
of which, after the race was over, we had ()ocular de-
monstration. Still his eye was bright, his colour fresh,
and his countenance pleasing. Five to foar on Mount-
joy, and level seemed the order of the day. On going
off old Mountjoy, warned by experience, made png
and let the way at a pretty stiff pace ' so stro
was it, for the opening of so long a day's work, that
it rather influenced the odds against him than otherwise.
The old one, however. kept drawing ahead by degreee:
up to the 18th mile, when Fuller was three minutes efg!
a quarter in the rear; in the 19th and 20th Bob revived
the hopes of his friends by gaining 1 min. and 15 soe:
on his antagonist, an advantage he held by getting 21.
secs. in the 21st and 22d, and a trifle in the 23d so°
24th. In the 25th and 26th little change took
but in the four following miles Fuller, who had shortly
before seemed weak, pulled on so gallantly that be
actually overhauled Mountjoy, amid immense
,pheeif
fron, his friends. The betting now fluctuated to 2 t°

CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.
Ye:4,4day the Commissioners assembled in the Guild-
hall, Deputy Pe..cock in tl.e chair.
The CH aIRMAN called the attention of the Court te
the cum spondence which hat wren place upon the sub
Ject of the pamphlet referred to on the last day of meet
ing, purporting to be evidence given before the Sanitar)
Commissioners, and grossly misrepresenting, as the Cit
Commissioners or sewers in in declaring, the whole
of the conduct of the commission, and the motives by
which they were influenced, in establishing sewers
through the City, as well as the adaptation of the works
to the proposed end. The correspondence originated in
a demand, preferred on the part of the City Commis
sioners of Sewers, to the Health of Towns Association,
for the names of certain persons, on whose evidence this
body has recently published, in a pamphlet, statements
considered highly injurious to the corporation of Lon-
don. For example, assertions that the sewers of London
may be considered mischievous rather than otherwise—
that there was no one in the City whom the citizens
would trust with the expenditure of their money upon
sanitary works ; that there was no authority which woulu
net convert its opportunity of making an outlay for such
jobbing.
Lord into a means of most corrupt
Lord Ashley, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Alderman Sa-
Jon:ions, who bad been applied to as members of the
Health of Towns Association, state in their answer to
the City Remembrancer their anxiety that any mis-
statements which had been made should be immediately
contradicted, and Alderman Sslonaons, in writing to the
secretary of the association, states that in. the pamphlet
several palpable omissions do occur in reference to the
works performed by the city of London, and demands a
confirmation of the statements made or a retractatien.
The answer from the secretary, dated the 27th of April,
is to the effect that the application made by the City
Remembranger is under consideration, and that the as
sociation have no doubt that the charges of misrepresen-
tation will shortly be fairly answered. A former reply
on the part of the association haVing, however, stated
that application had been made to the gentleman who
fiat) made the statements cotnp!ained of to know whether
he wz4 willing to avow them, without which sanction
the association did not feel at liberty to give up the mime,
and no further communication having been made on this
„, 9
henlrrespondence was ordered to be entered upon
the journal, after a speech of considerable length,
thoroughly con&wmatory of the proceedit.gs of the Go.
vernment with regard) ao the sanitary regulations, from
Alderman Lawrence.
The Court then adjourned.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A FEMALE.—An inquest
was held yesterday by Mr. Carter, at the Hero of
Waterloo, Waterloo-road, as to the death of Mrs. Mary
Roberts, aged thirty-seven. It appeared that the de-
ceased lived at 3, Sutton-street, York-road, where st.e
carried on business as a dressmaker. She had been in a
very low state of mind lately, in consequence of being
much in arrears for her rent, and not being able to
collect the debts owing to her. She left home on Thurs-
day, and was not seen again until she was observed
early on Friday morning to go down the steps at West-
minster-bridge and precipitate herself into the river. A
waterman of the name of Phelps got ber out in about
ten minutes, and she was conveyed to a surgeon's, but it
was too late ; she almost instantly expired. It is be-
lieved if she had been taken to the hospital or baths she
would have been saved. Verdict " Died from the im •

" Sia,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last h six yearsB from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ttey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from tem. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects WILSON.
of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of _any. kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part. '

A B. I E. NI One half the werid are desolately single, and the other
suppotlng them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, or a
`-ease of right determine the former, and miscalculate,l hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of
caution ahund worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret
tin-
prostint rry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
amyl broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

each (by cost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretatior. of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere Idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the ernpyrical trash put forth 011
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
Jule publications claim your attention (same price la. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephernoral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ts do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

A correspondent of the Evening Mail supplies the
following particulars :

merick, Suna.
" It was rumoured all over the,
town yesterday that
was the intention of the Old Irelenders not to allow the
Young Ireland tea party to he held; and we began to
believe this to be true, when, upon the arrival of
Meagher and Mitchell from Dublin they were violently
assailed, and got into the hotel with great difficulty, a
Young Irelender having pulled out a pistol and declared
that ho would shoot tho tirst man who attempted to fol-
low them into the hotel. It was then discussed whether
the ' party' should take plsee or not, and the ayes
carrying it by a very small majority, it did accordingly
take place. In the course of the fray that followed
Smith O'Brien received a cut on the head and a severe
contusion on his side, one of his ribs being said to be
broken : Meagher got into the hotel under the protec-
tion of two men, armed with daggers, who kept dealing blows right and left. Mitchell, Choy say, was so hard
pressed that he ran up to the door of a house, and there
defended himself with a dagger until he was let into the
house to save his life. After the troops were withdoarwn,the
at about half-past ten o'clock, the mob broke int
store where the meeting
the cups, saucers, plates, benches, and ornamental
lestoonings, and then retired satisfied, having maltreated)
two policemen who had been stationed there, and, not
being relieved, were unwilling to quit their posts. Mr.
Cruise, the hotel-keeper, was struck on the head by a
stone aimed at Mitchell. Nothing could exceed the
chagrin -and discomfiture of Meagher and Mitchell ;
after ordering and counter-ordering a car for Ratlikeale,
they ended by induciag Mr. Cruise to let the Cork
coach be packed and horsed in his yard (contrary to usual
practice), and then, having safely lodged themselves in-
side, the two heroes had the yard
gate suddenly opened,
and they were whirled off in search of a new field of
glory."
Thus has this game of brag ended in a complete ex-
posure of the empitness of the hands of these bold
players, and the unsubstantial character of tl, whole
Repeal movement has been exhibited in a locality here-
tofore considered as one of its most redoubtable
strong-
holds. If the Government now only follows in the wake
of the catastrophe of Limerick with firmness and vigour,
it is within its power not only to put down the Young
Irelat,d treason, but to extinguish the smouldering
embers of chronic anarchy so long kept alive by the
Conciliation-hall Repeaters, and Which is perhaps more
fatal to the prosperity of the country than open insur,
ruction.

GOVERNMENT MOVEMENTS.
A Privy Council sat to-day, at which it has been de-
termined to proclaim Limerick under the Crime and
Outrage Act. The following warning against the Con-
vention of Three Hundred and the proposed National
Guard has been issued this day:—
"BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.
" CLARENDON.
"Whereas divers ill-disposed persons hare in various
publications, in newspapers and otherwise, and by ad-
dresses and speeches at public meetings, advised the
election of a representative body in this part of her
Majesty's dominions, to be called a' National Conven-
tion or Council,' or the ' Council of Three Hundred'
and have invited and exhorted her Majesty's subjects to
proceed to the election of delegates, or members to re-
present them, or certain districts or divisions of the
country, in such an assembly; and the same or other ill-
disposed persons have in the like manner and under false
and pretended allegations, without any colour or lawful
authority, invited and exhorted her Majesty's subjects
in Ireland to constitute themselves into an armed
association, to be called a National Guard, or
to enrol or register their names as willing to
beon members of and embodied in such associa-
ti ; and it is represented, and manifestly appears
to
us that such proceedings are devised an intended for the
purpose of thereby, and by force and intimidation,
effecting changes in the laws and constitution of this
realm; and whereas it appears to us that all such devices
and intentions of such evil-disposed persons are not only
unconstitutional and unlawful, and tend to the disturb-
ance of the public peace, but that they cannot be car-
ried into effect by the election of such a convention, or
Kenitng;'doald
the formation of such an armed association, without
violating the express prohibitions of certain Acts et
Parliament—that is to say, an Act passed in the Parlia-
ment of Ireland, in the 33d year of the reign of his late
Majesty George 111., entitled ' An Act to prevent the
election or appointment of unlawful assemblies, under

tions and exercises :'
" Now, therefore, we, George William Frederick, Earl
of Clarendon, her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant-General
and General Governor of Ireland, do hereby declare
every such National Convention or Councilforesa
as aid,
and every other the like Convention or Council, by
whatever name it may be called, and all
elections of
members or delegates thereto, and every such armed
association by the name of a National Guard or by
whatever other name it may be called, to be unlawful:
and we hereby absolutely prohibit the election, consti-
tution, or formation of any such Convention, Council,
National Guard, or other the like association, and all
drilling, use of arms, or practice of military evultttions

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and. fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young- per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabos, &c., the sole and exclusive origiti has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than ft is at all suspected.

AN UNEXPECTED CATASTROPHE.
DUBLIN, MAY I.—The greatest astonishment, and not
a little hearty laughter, were excited here this morning
by the news of a most unexpected catastrophe that has
arrived to the movement, through the persons of its great
,leaders and heroes, of which the following express, for-
warded by the editor of the Limerick Chronicle, furnishes
the details:—

sentation " Ai r.of Smith

stituents at our office.
" The reasons are obvious. The lion. Gentleman
was last night assaulted, and treated with the greatest
disrespect, by an immense crowd, who surrounded the
building in Thomas-street, where he and his co-patriots,
Messrs. Meagher and Mitchell, were being entertained
at a soirée by the members of the Sarsfield Confederation
Club. For the last re:) years the city has not been thrown
into such a state of excitement and disturbance—the
windows and doors of the building were demolished—
stones and missiles were hurled in through the broken
sashes—shots were fired at the Confederates, who, in
self-defence, were obliged to tear up the seats and forms
to protect themselves—an effigy of Mr. Mitchell was
burned outside the door, and the tar barrel was placed so
convenient to the premises that they took fire, to the ter-
ror of all within. The police and local authorities, viz., the
Mayor; Mr. Henry Maunsell, High Sheriff; Mr. Henry
utson, Mr. John Crips, Mr. Richard Russell, Mr.
William Hartigan, and the 'resident magistrates, fortu-
nately arrived in time to prevent the building from being
consumed, and the rioters were dispersed by the police
and military, horse, foot, 'and artillery, which were
called out under Major-General Napier. The scene was
frightful, and had it not been for the intervention of the
authorities, the consequences would have been awful.
The High Sheriff visited the banquet-hall, and an-
nounced that the military and police force would be
withdrawn if the meeting did not break up. This had
the desired effect. Mr. Meagher and Mr. Mitchell were
as seditious as ever, if not worse. Tranquillity was not
restored in that city until one o'clock this morning.
Mr. Meagher left for Cork, and Mr. Mitchell for Dublin,
this morning. They must admit that tney got a warm
reception from the Repeaters of Limerick—both would
have been murdered by the mob had it not been for the
protection afforded by the authorities.
" Mr. Dickson, a resident gentleman, possessing large
estates in both the county and city of Limerick, is uni-
Venially looked upon as a person most eligible and
likely to fill the present vacancy caused in the represen-
tation of this county. He has already had several ap-
plications and offers of support from numerous influential
quarters."

" CLARENDON.
" Whereas by an Act passed in this present session of
Parliament, in the eleventh year of her Majesty's reign,
intituled ' An Act for the better prevention of crime
and outrage in certain parts of Ireland, until the first
day of December, one thousand eight hundred and forty-
nine, and to the end of the then next session of Parlia-
ment,' it is amongst other things enacted, ' That when-
ever in the judgment of the Lord-Lieutenant or other
Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, by and with
the advice of the Privy Council of Ireland, it shall be
necessary for the prevention of crime and outrage, that
the said Act should apply to any county, county of a
city, or county of a town, or any barony, or baronies,
half barony or half baronies iu any county at large,
or any district of less extent than any barony or half
barony in Ireland, it shall be lawful to and for the Lord-
Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Governors of
Ireland, by and with the advice of the Privy Council of
Ireland, to declare by proclamation, to be published in

Named in such proclamation, the said Act shall apply to
any county, county of a city, or county of a town, or any
barony or baronies, half barony or half baronies in any

" Now we, the Lord-Lieutenant, do, by this our pro-
clamation, in pursuance and execution of the Act, and
by and with the advice of her Majesty's Privy Council in
Ireland, declare, that from and after Friday, the sth day
of the month of May instant, one thousand eight hundred

,PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
PROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
TIMES.—The catastrophe so long feared in Ireland
has at length come to pass. We have to announee a
serious collision at Limerick. There has been fighting
in the streets. Shots have been fired, and the long-
hoarded pikes brought into actual use. Houses have
been attacked, and military and police, horse and foot,
and even the artillery, have been called out to protect
the lives of citizens assailed by the fury of the mob. The
victims of popular exasperation have had to fly to hide
themselves, and to be escorted to places of safety by an
armed force. A Member of the Imperial Legislature,
abused, hooted, beaten, wounded, bleeding, flying, and
terrified, has resigned the political position which in-
volved such perils. Here, then, is the beginning of the
end. It is scarcely possible to calculate the effect
of this terrible outbreak on the seditious spirits
of John-street, and the 300,000 " holy bayonets" of
Paris. But stop a moment, M. Ledru Rollin, before you
send out your commissaires to Dublin or your ships to
Bantray Bay. An important particular remains to be
told. The fighting in the streets was between Repealer
and Repealer. The assailants were the moral force fac
tion, while the physical force stood, or, rather, did not
stand on the defensive. The pikes were pointed against
the friends of the late Mr. O'Connell, The military and
police were called out to protect Messrs. Meagher and
Mitchell. The two valorous chiefs, after thundering
threats against the Viceroy and his army, fled from a
few lively Old Irelenders, hid themselves in a pantry,
threw their pikes into the housemaid's closet, and
dropped tho vitriol pot into a dust bole. The blood
that flowed was Mr. Smith O'Briea's. He has lost
several teeth, and one of his ribs is broken. The future
King of Ireland has accordingly abdicated the sove-
reignty which his subjects refuse to confer. He
has written for the Chiltern Hundreds, and, we be-
lieve, may shortly be expected to join the illustrious
circle of refugees in this country. Sic transit gloria
mundi. So ends repeal. Of all the revolutions and
mbu catastrophes we have lately witnessed, the catastrophe
of hug is the most complete. It leaves nothing be-
hind. It is really too flatulent, too em pt y , too

the British Ezell( quer. They charged his Excellency
with endeavouring to provoke a collision, that his
soldiers and police might have a pretence for inter-
fering and slaying Ott physical force leaders. They
have themselves provoked the collision, and the soldiers
and police have interfered, not, however, to destroy,
but to save. Something of this we happened to know
before. What sounded oddly enough. to English ears,
it had already transpired that the physical force gentry
could not go home from their meetings with-
out an escort of police to protect them from their
moral force rivals. It was suite evident that whatever
tho theoretical relations of these terms, the things for
which they actually stood were very different from the
English notion of the words. Physical force meant
mouthing and bragging, blarney and bombast, and
Was, in fact, a branch of the rhetorical art. Moral
force, on the contrary, meant knocking a man's
teeth down his throat, giving a black eye, punching in
the ribs, dragging through the mud, stoning, kicking,
Pommelling, and contusing. There has been a contro-
versy at Limerick. The advocates of physical force
mustered in grim state at a soiree. They drew there
knives and cut plenty of bread and butter, while tea
flowed in profusion. Cups and saucers were marshalled
in awful array. In the intervals were posted plates of
buttered toast. Ornamental festoons hung o'er the
tented field. Hideous drill. Sanguinary a !
We do not wonder to hear that Limerick, the scenermament of
this tea-kettle enzeute, is to be proclaimed. Suc was
the fearful audacity of the physical force demonstrah tion.
On the other hand the advocates of moral force had
recourse to their own gentler arguments. They rea-
soned with fists and persuaded with shillelahs. Their
figures of speech were brickbats, and their climax a tar
barrel, surmounted by an effigy of Mr. Mitchell in flames,
which they brought so " convenient " to the fortress
of the physical force tea-drinkers, that it was soon in
flames also, and the desperadoes threw down their un-
finished bread and butter and fled for their lives. The

That-this burly Horne Minister wished to upset and over-
turn everything, every honest man wished to baulk him,
, and resolved to vote for men of moderate opinions, no
) matter what the colour of their politics. Hence it ,is
that we find a great number of landed proprietors and
of farmers—a considerable number of iron-masters and
propietors of forests—some merchants—many retired
officers—about 150 advocates—very many nolaires, but
an inconceivably small number of tradesmen, mechanics,
and working men—elected. Flotte, the chef de cuisine,
has failed in his ambition; it is a plat manqué, and he may
now go back to his casseroles, lest the broth should spoil. Ja-
min, too, scieur de long, may again descendito his sawpit, for
no one constituency will take him as a top sawyer. The
journalists, too, who about a month ago amounted, as
candidates, to sixty-six at the least, are now reduced, as
elected, to less than 20. Neither Poupart, nor Borie,
nor Durrieu, nor Casson, nor Degeorge, nor Gallois,
nor Dupoty, nor Rey, nor Crepu, nor Considerant, nor
Kaufmonn, nor Duras, are returned ; and in the place of
many of these publicists and scribblers, several tried men
of the late and of former chambers are returned. Then
MM. Teulon, Lavay, and Bousquet are successful for
Gard; M. Lavarret, for Gers; MM. Bacot, Lumeniais,
Taschereau, and Gouin, for Indre et Loire ; MM. Viel-
lard.Havin, De Tocqueville, Dubois, and Lempereur, for
Manche ; M. Bigot and Chenais, for Mayenne; M. Pier-
ron, for the Pas de Calais; M. Mauguin, for the Cote
d'Or • MM. Benille and Remily, for the Seine et Oise—
M. Laboisnere,' for Vaucluse. Our readers will see
from this hasty glance, that the old Democratic
opposition, called the Extreme Gauche, have been
elected in the greatest number—that the Gauche, or
the opposition Barrot, have :also been largely returned,
—that the Droit, or Legitimists, have also in the west
had some successes. Whereas the left centre and the
right centre have been generally worsted—the Doctri-
naires, or Guizot party, most signally so, for we be-
lieve not one personal adherent of the ex-Minister will
be found in the new Constituent. The mere trading
politicians have also been signally discomfited, and it is
a curious but instructive fact, that M. Thiers, who
fancied himself so very clever and so very cunning, six
months and three months ago, in not attending the
banquets, and not pronouncing any opinion upon
them, is left to meditate on future works of imagi-
nation, which he calls history, in the Rue St. George..
Alas ! for his poor publishers. If they have not
failed long ago, they must indeed have more solid
resources than works of imagination. This triumph
of moderate and well-disposed men has maddened
the clubs and Communists, and by their emissaries they
have aroused all the dangerous spirits in Rouen, in
Amiens, and in Limoges. But in the two former places
the insurrection has been speedily put down by the
National Guard and the military; and we have no doubt
the next accounts will bring satisfactory tidings from
Limoges also. Every sane man in France now feels,

stating that it will be a Republic with a single
President, as in America—with a single Chamber, and
without a senate. That Lamartine will be the irst
President elected we entertain no manner of doubt; as
little that plenary powers will be accorded to him.

Thirty years hence he will tell some marvellous tales of

physical force, and was morally but most cruelly worsted;

CHRONICLE.—M. de Lamartine has achieved the
highest civil honours which modern history, perhaps, re-
cords. He realises and ,resumes, in his own person, a
larger number of suffrages and votes than ever were
before represented by one man. The election of Napo-
leon to the Consulate and the Empire cannot be con-
sidered as exceptional; because, ..how greatly soever he

principle, universal in its fame, compensated at once for
previous misadventures among a nation so changeful
and capricious as the French. But among us, upon this
side of the Channel, his renown had undergone no vicis-
situdes of disparagement or blight ; it had become a
household word in its connexion with our let-
ters and ourselves. The boyish verses which
were addressed to Lord Byron at Ravenna, and
which had given such pleasure to the great
post's vanity at a time when it knew little enough of
pleasure, were unforgotten; and it was further known
that M. de Lamartine had married an English wife, bad
paid a visit to Lady Hester Stanhope, and (almost alone
among his countrymen) could make allusions to England
and the English without a blunder. It is, therefore, not
surprising that his recent triumph should have here been
entertained with such unanimity of appreciation and
such universality of joy. We would fain, at such a
moment, say nothing which might appear inharmonious
with a concord so honourable and no general; but we
have read French history to insufficient purpose, and the
fate of M. Guizot will have taught us little, if it is not
in the hour of exultation, and the meridian of an
ovation, that we should the most distrust and fear.
There is another statesman in France whose fate
in the elections of 1848 may serve to point their moral, with a philosophy as ,instructive as the glory of
M. de Lainartino. It is in, vain that tee look for the
name of Alphonse Thiers in the retuins. treater as a

too much to say) the Revolution, which Franken-

trophe- of so - great a fortune has given one more '
illustration to the melancholy truth of sic 'vs non

Reform (by the movement which he directed and
impelled),
_and, with it, the restoration, more or less
' complete, of the Government of the First of March.
But even his friends, coadjutors, and subordinates have
been less unsuccessful than himself. MM. Odilon Bar-
rot, Vivien, Duvergier d'llaurannes, Billault, have
been returned. The reason of his postponement to
men, so much his inferiors, is plain enough, and sug-
gestive of painful reflections. It is not that his great
capacity or long services were ungratefully questioned or
disputed; but he was considered as the symbol of a
system which had used the hopes, passions, prejudices,
aspirations, requirements of the people (in all countries
honest, even when most bline)to small ends and ignoble
purposes; which, in all the prescriptive impunity of
success, had unblushingly paraded the spectacle of
avowed aporstacy and unexplained corruption; which
flagrantly professed and taught, in rites and practices,
au infidelity in public virtue and political consistency.
POST.-11e violent outrages which have been occa-
sioned in se's eral parts of France by the success of the
more moderate
.candidates for election to the National
Assembly seem, at first sight, rather difficult of explana-
tion. As tl ie suffrage is universal, no candidate can
have been st: ccessful except there were a majority of the
men population in his favour. How, then, happens it
that multitudinous assemblages burst forth in violence
against the (elective results, and that armed citizens have
to be brought from other neighbourhoods to put them
down? We. suspect that these emeutes are the result of
certain plar.s and operations organised in Paris, into
which many persons are drawn more by fear than
I'avour, and that many who, in the crowd, seem to be
against the moderates, are the same who have placed in
the electoral urns the names of those very moderates.
It is easy :to see why a very considerable number of
the French populace should be dissatisfied with even
republican I;overnment, or any other government that
the wit of man could devise. What they want is a state
of no-govern ment. Their notion of liberty is the liberty
of helping themselves to that which is not theirs. Their
perfection of right is the unlimited license to rob. It is
nothing to them whether power be held by a King or by
a Chamber sof representatives, if there be a power to
maintain order and the rights of property. If the laws
be upheld, the power which upholds the laws, be it a
republic or at i abselute government, is, and must be,
in their estimation, a tyranny. What these people
want is an assembly sitting at Paris, not to rebind
the loosened cords of society, but to cut them asunder,
that the s.e parate fragments of society may dash
against each other and make pi ey for the spoiler.
They du not want a Government to repair or rebuildor

" The statement which we have just laid before you
does not permit us to distribute amongst you in money
the amount of the last year's dividend, but we propes6
to settle it by bonds, without date, bearing interest,

something less, because they wanted to rally all the
strength they could get. A resolution was put to the
meeting, as an amendment, in favour of the six points of
the Charter, but it was rejected by the majority. The
meeting, which was a most enthusiastic one, did not
separate till a late hour.
