TO THE "BARD OF THE MINORIES."
Bard of the Minories! Excuse my freedom
In writing li• es to one so famed as you ;
And if you think it worth your while to read 'em,
An honour to my humble pen you'll do.
My motive in the lines which I present you,
Is simply this—l wish to compliment you.
I don't refer so much to skill in verses,
As to your strict adherence to the fact ;
The trading story which your Muse rehearses
Is perfectly as Messrs. MOSES act.
Poets, 'tie said, are rather fond of fiction,
But your assertions challenge contradiction.
MOSES and SON, you say. possess great merit
As Artistes in the making of attire ;
And, Sir, my commendation they inherit,
For MOSES' dress I very much admire.
They have a claim (and every day they show it)
Not less than that asserted by their poet.
All that you say of MOSES I rely on,
Your compliments on style and strength are due,
There's not`a garment that I fix my eye on,
But proves good quality and cheapness too.
Your verse is true, Sir , ay ! and so your prose is,
Nor have you ever ov'errated MOSES.
E. MOSES arid SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
lo the fit. E. M. and Scare convinced they will beg much approved
of by the public.

CE LIB ACY. —Singleness is not always the con-
-sequence if disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi-
culty in meeting with a lit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
tl-ey feel themselves equal to its obligations ; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instane s where, under that
blighting consciousness; man has permitted the most ardent afree-
tioa to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitarinegs Into which
his affianced would be plunged if he Married. Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so vlllanous as to proceed to the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her
from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary Source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and .Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sourcef of Importance are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men as prevented from marrying by the effects
of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im-
pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider`his.case beyond remedy, and
he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS, and CO.,

variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful

its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a :fate which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment e Important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those. desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.

THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—
Yesterday evening a meeting of the members and com-
mittee of the above institution, was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, for general business; Mr. G. Bird in
the chair. The society was founded twelve months since,
for giving relief and granting pensions to decayed mem-
bers of the various branches of the trade, their widows
and orphans, also temporary relief to workmen in cases
of accident, and likewise to form a separate fund for the
erection of an asylum for decayed masters, their wives,
and widows. The report congratulated the members on
the steady progress which was being made, the sub-
scriptions and donations amounting to nearly 1,000/.
The annual income was about 2001., and it proposed, a,
soon as it is increased to 3001. to commence the relief
fund, there being already several distressing appeals for
assistance. The report made a forcible appeal to the
trade, to enable them to dispense relief.

" The town is perfectly quiet—there is nut the
slightest excitement, and the surrounding
country is
also tranquil. The mission of the military and police
to Knocklofty and the
adjoining districts resulted, 1
understand, in the arrest of two or three country
people who were not able to give a satisfactory
account of themselves. The statement that Baron
Parke is coming here to assist the judges in expound-
ing the criminal law is, I have been informed, un-
founded. The aid of any English judge is assuredly
unnecessary while Chief. Justice Blackburne is one
of the presiding judges at the Commission. The name
of Baron Parke is not in the document nominating
the judges—the Irish judges alone are empowered to
act ; and those before whom the Court was opened are,
as has been already stated, Chief Justice Blackburne,
Chief Justice Doherty, and Mr. Justice Moore. It
is stated that Baron Pennefather will give the
benefit of his experience to shis brother judges, if
it be necessary for him to do so. His Lordship
lives upon his estate, which is between three and four
miles from Clonmel, and, as he is named in the com-
mission, it is very probable that he will be present at
the trial, or at least in the Judges' chamber, if a
consultation be advisable. Baron Parke will, it is
believed, come to Knocklofty Castle, the seat of the
Earl of Donoughmore, and it is very likely that he,
too, will be in court=ing lus trials. I have just
learned that a man named Patrick Cunningham has
been arrested on a charge' of treasonable practices.
He was rather a respectable married man with a
family, and was in the establishment of Bairy, Tenan,
and Company, Carrick-on-Suir. Being fearful of
arrest, he left his employment, and while on his way
to Limerick was taken into custody by a detective
who got into conversation with him upon a car, and
extracted from him that he was a good deal impli-
cated in the rebellious movements which for some

time have been going on, and was the leading mem-
ber of a club in Kerry. The prisoner was conveyed
to Tipperary by railroadf and thence in the custody
of four police-constables on one of Bianconi's cars
to Cionmel, where his now confined. Information
has been received of a gathering of the people
upon a bill not far from Thurles, to disperse
which a number of military were dispatched ; but
nothing of any serious character need be anticipated
from this event. The State priioners, except Mr.'
Leyne, are in good health. The privilege .extended
to Mr. O'Brien of seeing the members of his family,
and professional advisers, at all reasonable hours
during the day, has beenlimited to particular periods,
owing to a complaint made by another of the Sate
prisoners, that a similar privilege had not been con-
ferred upon him."
It is understood that the counsel for the defence of
Mr. O'Brien have finally decided not to call Lord J.
Russell into the witness-box.

Touching the PreMier's appearance in Court, the
Evening Herald observes :--
" After all, we shall not have the Prime Minister
on the table at ClonMel. It has just been discovered
that Mr. S. O'Brien's advisers were mistaken, not in
the nature of the documents in reference to which
Lord J. Russell received a Crown summons, but
with respect to the individual actually compromised
by them. The facts, as they were believed by Mr.
O'Brien's friends at the time when the summons
was delivered, were exactly Ilk, we then stated them.
It is, however, now ascertained that Lord J. Russell
is not implicated,•at least 'directly, in the diseloaures
which were looked for. It is perfectly
true that a noble lord, who held a foremost
place among the Reformers, and afterwards one
of the highest offices to which a subject can aspire,
did actually pending the reform riots write &letter, at
this moment in existence, inviting a gentleman then
holding the rank of colonel to place himself at the
head of 50,000 men, and march upon London, for the
purpose of overbearing opposition by terror. We
cannot say whether evidence to this effect will be
tendered, or whether the necessary Crown summons
has been served; but, although the illegality of such
evidence was clearly established, and there existed, of
course, no chance of its being admitted, even its tenor
and the comment of counsel in the case we speak of
would lose much of their point and meaning, for the
party actually implicated by the letters is not a mem-
ber of the present Cabinet. In conclusion, we have
to state that Lord John Russell has been written to
by Mr. O'Brien's solicitOr, ;apprizing him that his
attendance at the ensuing trial will be dispensed
with."

THE CONVICT JOIIN MARTIN.
The following appears in the Freeman of this
morning :
" We deeply regret to announce that Mr. Martin
has been labouring under fever for the last week, and
that he is at present in a very precarious state. He
is attended by his own private physician, and also by
Dr. Banon, the medical attendant of the prison, and
it appears that but slight hopes are entertained of the
patient's recovery."
PERIODICAL SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT
The Society for Promoting the Periodical Sittings
of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin met yesterday
at their rooms in the Northumberland-buildings ;
Lord William Fitzgerald in the chair.
The following report was presented by the sub-
committee appointed on the last day of meeting :
to the
" The sub committee having carefully considered
the objections hitherto made
project for pro-
moting annual sittings of the Imperial Parliament in
Dublin, feel it to be their duty to lay before the so-
ciety their first report on the subject, though they
are fully aware that it is, in many respects, a very
imperfect one.
" The allegations made in opposition to the object
of the society have been generally of a very vague
and indefinite characler. Your committee will en-
deavour to refer to each of them in its turn, briefly
and yet fully, not mis-stating it,
and being most
anxious to be set right should they appear to do so.
" The first leading objection, and the one apparently
most relied upon, is ' the mischief of agitation ; an
objection founded on the hypothesis that a state of
things so unsatisfactory as to render discussion unne-
cessary exists in Ireland; a position which, when
thus clearly stated, is so remote from the truth that,
so far as your Committee is aware, no objector has
had the hardihood to support it, That agitations have
latterly been the occasion of vast evil the Committee
freely admit, and the main advantage they promise
themselves in the success of their project is the ulti-
mate cessation of those manifestations of moral and
physical force which the ill-balanced and ungoverned
position of the country have hitherto rendered not
only practicable but continuous. Deeply interested
in bringing about the permanent tranquillization of
Ireland, the chief object of the Committee is to seek
peace and insure it.' They desire nothing so much
as to relieve the country from that wasting agitation
which is the immediate cause of most of her miseries,
but which must continue so long as the influence
of the legislative classes remains abstracted from
Irish society, the regulation of its feelings, and the
direction of its energies being altogether retained
in other hands. The Committee knows that the in-
stitutions of British society have grown up in ac-
accordance with the existence of these elements in
her social system. They see the English community
easily guided through tranquillity to Prosperity by
the co-operation in all its parts of monarchical, aris.
tocratical, and democratical machinery, well fitted,
and working easily and safely together. It appears
to them that in Ireland, on the contrary, the attempt
is made to work the British social machine without
either its regulator or male wheels, the means resorted
to to supply the defects in its movements being
utterly inadequate. They cannot doubt but that in
the insufficiency of the patchwork is to be found the
necessary cause of those unfortunate agitations and
disturbances which are so banefully operative. A
Court that is not a Court is the substitute for royalty.
Viceroyalty,
so
oonly n
constitutedot
the
a regulator,s to be
a but. is gigantic un-
reality, is not
actually
in itself the disturber of society. It is and can be
but the centre of intrigue, the focus that collects and
renders intense the emanations of the spirit of syco-
phancy and place-hunting, which is the direct opposite
of that independence and industry by which a nation
can be elevated into prosperity and wealth. Its im-
mediate accompaniment is a host of persons who, in
the absence of an aristocracy, lead the people, and
ascend through a course of agitation into the heights
of office.
" The Committee does not believe that any system
of agitation which offers rewards to its promoters,
and which is in itself a necessary attendant and sup-
port to mock authority, will cease and determine at
the bidding of either the press or the Ministry. It
sees that even the attempt made by the society to
evoke a calm and temperate discussion upon an im-
portant public question has been encountered by
agitation of the most unreasoning character—discour-
teous misrepresentation of its motives and objects
have been unfairly put forward by the organs of the
Executive. The names of respected and influential
citizens have been forged to its disparagement—all
the influence of the Government press has been used

" The next point the Committee desire to call atten-
.

tion to is, • the practicability and Parliamentary ad-
advantages of
,the measure itself.' Objections under
this head resolve themselves into two classes—the one
refers to the character and description of the law-
makers likely to attend the proposed session ; the
other to the character and description of the laws
they are likely to make.
" Your Committee will apply themselves to both.
"The first objection presented to them is, that it
will be impracticable for Cabinet Ministers to take
any part in Irish Parliamentary proceedings, should
those be of such a nature as to require their attend-
ance. This assertion-amounts virtually to this—that
during the recess, when no 2arlitwaut is sitting in.
London, and at the time when most of those person-
ages are now in the habit of amusing themselves at
their country residences, neither they nor any work-
ing portion of them could find an opportunity of being
together in Dublin without serious detriment to the
public service.
" In calmly considering the statement, it becomes in
the first instance necessary to inquire from the ob-
jectors how many members of the Cabinet there are
whose opinions on Irish subjects influence in delibe-
ration the decision of their, colleagues. In'the Com-
mittee it would appear invidious to go through the
list of their names to answer the inquiry ; perhaps
some half-dozen may be with difficulty enumerated.
If it be necessary for any one of these to be in Lon-
don when his-presence might for other reasons be
desirable here, information can surely be commuiii-
cated upon paper.. Bills do not pass like lightning
through both Houses of Parliament ; nor is legisla-
tion as rapid in its workings as the imagination pro-
ductive of such obstacles ; nor would Ministers lose
all guidance and control over their several departments
during their temporary absence. All the arguments
so industriously used against the project derived from
the facilities of communication between London and
Dublin, on this point at least, cut both ways ; with
this difference, that their absence would be in the one
case brief and temporary for the one country, while
now it is permanent and perpetual for the other,
" Nor, supposing their attendance to be requisite,
would it seriously interfere with the period of relaxa-
tion necessary to recruit their health and strength ?
Irish business being conducted here to its successful
termination would cease to offer its irregular inter-
ference with the Imperial business of the country at
large, and thus help materially to diminish the labour
and protracted duration of the London session. In
law-making, as in other trades, the division of labour
will possess its natural advantages, and ' time saved'
will be ' time gained' for the Cabinet Minister as for
the artizan.
" What other counsellors would meet together
would of course very much depend upon the character
of the measures to be discussed. All Members con-
nected, with Ireland not simply by representation
merely, but by the possession of property, whether in
land, mortgages, banking shares, railway scrip, or
other investment, would naturally in any case take
an interested part in our legislation—the Caven- •
dishes, Stanleys, Fitz williams, Russells, Pagets,
Thynnes, Pettys, and Talbots—the Beresfords,
Boyles, Courtenays, Capels, Conynghams, the
Adairs—Lords Palmerston, Jocelyn, Ebrington
—Messrs. Shirley, Lennard, Osborne, Clive,
Ormsby Gore,', Baldwin, Stafford O'Brien, Shar-
man Crawford. How many names rush hi crowds
to the mind in an endeavour to enumerate them !
Nay, the very Aldermen of the city of Lon.-
don,—the Thompsons, Copelands, and Humpherys.
All these are Irish proprietors, and would be obliged
by self-interest to take their share in the conduct of
Irish local affairs, and in framing Irish Parliamentary
enactments.

" To these, as well as to the local representatives,
would be conjoined all those busy and untiring spi-
rits—those living encyclopaelias of blue-book know-
ledge, whose minds, well stored with infor►nation,
require but practical acquaintance with us to make
very useful and valuable advisers.
" Upon these, and men like these, thoughtfully
desirous of the welfare of Ireland, because conducive
to their own, zealously anxious to prevent Irish mal-
administration from continuing to be productive of
English deterioration, would legislation probably de-
volve, so long as the Parliament confined itself to its
legitimate operations. The Committee freely admit
that the mass of uninterested obstruction now found
cumbrously detrimental to sound and well-considered
legislation would probably vanish and disappear. No
noisy shouters would disturb debate, or be heard,
night after night, vociferating ill-timed interruptions
from back benches; business could be attended to—
business could be done—arguments could be heard,
could be listened to, could make their impression, and
could influence Government.

" But it has been said such a Parliament would not
confine itself to its legitimate operations. Upon this
portion of the subject the Committee hopes to be able
to present its report at the next meeting of the so-
ciety, when they also will endeavour to show the mis-
taken analogy supposed to exist between the cases of
the Scotch and Irish Unions.

" WM. FITZGERALD, Chairman."
Ordered to be printed and inserted on the minutes.
Letters were then read, new members admitted, and
the society adjourned until Monday next, after a vote
of thanks to its chairman.
MORE GEMS FROM THE " HUE AND CRY."

In the last two numbers of the Hue and Cry we
find the following gems :
Under the head of Monaghan county is the follow-

ing description of" three yearling calves :"—The first
is described as "a bull, all white, with brown stripes
over his shoulders," and his horns are " short, wide,
and in good condition." " A heifer calf, all red or
yellow, except a white face " I " horns six inches long,
value 3/. 13i."!!

Mr. Robert Creig, of Ballysodare, county Sligo,
lost a horse, which is described as " entirely bright
bay," with legs rather long for the body, and the legs
all black, except the off fore, which is white above
the fetlock anti the hair off the " fore knees"! This
truly unique horse, it is further stated, has a "white
star on the forehead, which is very badly shod" !
Under the head of Tipperary there is a description
of three persons unknown "who fired at William
Tracy, of Springfield, barony of Kilnemanagh, which
(the pistol, we suppose) missed fire, and then gave
him several blows of stones; which inflicted a slight
cut on his head, and then ordered him to leave the
place !" (An extraordinary pistol that !)
John Sexton is a decided martyr, at least in the
Ifue anti Cry. He was described heretofore as
having two blue eyes, with one of them blind. lie
is noVe stated to be by trade a labourer, and supposed
to be in Kilkenny at present, or gone to England or
Scotland to reap the harvest !
Tyrone is not without its gems. Amongst some
persons who are described as having escaped from
Omagh gaol on the 30th of August are—Patrick
Quinn, who, it is said, " has brown eyes which lost
the toes off the right foot," and John White, with
" grey eyes which wore a fustian jacket !"
Under the head of Wexford county (seldom men-
tioned in the Hue and Cry) is a description of a he
ass stolen from Arklow, the townland of which is
said to be " rising four years old !"

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW WORCESTER CORN
EX.CIIANGE.—WORCESTER, TUESDAY.—A singular fa•
witty appears to attend the building of two rival corn
exchanges in this city. This morning an inquest was
held before Mr. lly de, the local coroner, on the body of
a stone mason, named James Powell, who was engaged,
with others, in the erection of a new corn exchange on
the site of the old market in this city, and while occu-
pied in assisting to raise a heavy block of Cornish stone,
by means of a pulley, he slipped from the scaffolding at
the top of the building, and fell to the floor, a distance
of upwards of fifty feet. On being picked. up by his
fellow-labourers, it was found that he had
.fractured his
i
skull, and received other very serious njuri es. He was
carried to the Worcester Infirmary, where ho died
shortly after his arrival. Verdict, " Accidental death."
A precisely similar accident happened a few weeks ago
at the rival corn exchange just completed. A man en-
gaged at the top of the building fell to the ground from
the scaffolding, and was killed on the spot.
AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.—If the guardians Gf
Bedlam have missed one of their inmates, they may
hear tidings of him by applying at our office, as we have
recently met with a gentloman who believes that tle•
fonds voted for Ireland went to the poor.—The Puppet
Show.

The following particulars were stated at the prelimi-
nary portion of the inquest, which was commenced on
Monday afternoon, before Mr. Curry, but necessarily
postponed until this day (TUesday), several witnesses,
whose evidence was requisite, not being in attend :nee.
Jamas Calderbank, a glass•cutter, sad in effect-1 lire
in Henderson-street, and knew the deceased parties by
the name of Howarth. On Sunday morning I saw, while
at my own house, three females at Mr. Webster's house,
opposite to mine. They knocked, and he came down
and spoke to them. Mr. Webster then came across the
street, and asked me to go with him to Mr. Howarth's
house, as he (Mr. H.) and his wife had been missing for
somo time. We went there together, and not being able
to get in by the front door, which was fast, went to the
back. We called another person, and an entrance was
finally obtained by the stable. We all went up stairs
into a bed-room, the door of which was half open. When
we entered, we saw the body of Mr. Howarth lying on
the bed, partly across it from the bottom to the top. He
was lying partly on the right side. We saw his face.
We then saw the body of Mrs. Howarth lying on the
floor, her legs partly under the bed. I saw no blood
about him, but a good deal about her. I did not examine
the bodies, I was so much shocked. I went for two
police-efficers, and returned with them to the back door.
I did not again enter the house. I did not particularly
notice what was in the room. I have known Mr.
Howarth about 15 years. He was a confectioner. He
and his son did not live on good terms.
James Baird, a police-officer, was called by the last
witness, who said a man and a woman were dead in
Park-place, and went with him to the house. Another
officer was called by the last witness. Baird continued:

—I asked last witness if he knew how it had happened,
and if it were a murder. He said he did not know. We
all went together and entered at the back by the stable.
Wr.,,g4L4e,stairs to the front r 9,9133, facing the street.
'One or two other "persons were with us. We saw the
deceased, Mr. Howarth, lying in bed, partly on his right
side, and lying diagonally, from corner to corner. He
was quite dead. The female was lying on the floor,
partly on her side, and with her legs partly under the
bed. She was also quite dead. I supposed, from the
way she was lying, that she might have fallen out of
bed. Her head and neck were bare. He had no coat,
and he had the rest of his clothes on, excepting his shoes.
A doctor was sent for by the superintendent. I saw
two basins in the room, like wash-hand basins, one
'larger than the other. There was something in both of
them of a dark colour, as if persons had been vomiting
in them. This morning I found a small pill box on the
wash-hand stand (produced), with what appeared to be
a small quantity of white powder in it.
Here the COUONER, finding that the several witnesses
requisite to maintain the chain of evidence had not come
up, felt it necessary to defer further proceedings. Ile
noticed that the bodies appeared to have been found
in rather a different posture from that in which the
jury and himself had that day seen them. He said he
had learned from the surgeon who had examined the
bodies that there was no doubt but that both the parties
had been poisoned; hut he had not yet been able to as-
certain precisely the nature of the poison, for it was not
of the usual corrosive substances; but he expected to be
enabled to determine it by to•morrow. He should, there-
fore, postpone the case rather than adjourn it, and he
thought it would be better to commence de novo, when all
the witnesses were present.
We have learned from a party who visited the apart-
ment in which the tragedy was so privately and tearfully
performed that the spectacle was a truly frightful one.
Beside the female was a pool of blood, and her head pre-
sented a number of contusions, on both sides, and espe-
cially over the left eye, and it remains to be seen how
this can be reconciled with the absence of violence,
which, however, might not be sufficient to produce death.
But it were improper to speculate in this stage of the
proceedings. The inspector of police, who visited the
house after the police-officers were first there, found a
common pint jug, with a tea-spoon in it, and which con-
tained a small incrustation of a white substance at the
bottom. This has not yet been examined.—Liverpool
Standard.
