SALES.-BY AUCTION.

viR: NV:. W. -SIMPSON invites the attention of
Capitallits to the statements contained in the following
A dye! :isementS; relating to the past, present, and prospective per-
manency- of Rentals and the value of Land, confirming, as they do,
the predictions-which he ventured to make last April, in a speeds at
Norwich, in which he observed, that " although he had been a
thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and
all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that" it waS his firm and
honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal
principles within the last seven years woul.i_ be permanent ; that the
year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six monthS,
and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting
free trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had
"proved himself to be one
of the most talented, far-sighted, and teal lessly honest Ministers
that had ever lived in the tide of time." The present circumstances
of the country, from a general scarcity bf fcod throughout Europe,
fully justify the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and
courage displayed by tilt-Robert Peel. !t is stated by the most com-
petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been
carried out, the prices of. Corn and produce would have risen to a
famine height. Mr. Sirup-seri has also been assured by the most re-
spectable tradesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been for
the alteration of the Tariff, the price of Meat would long since have
risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression
is,-that before next harvest the prices of provisions will reach a
height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of
the country... Mr. Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al-
luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the 1 .te S r Charles We-
therell, on the subject. A high Tory arid firm Protectionist, the
fears he entertained as to the prabable results of the- Repeal of the
Corn,Laws,induced him to determine on selling his landed property,
but his better.judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos-
session ofjt, but was in the cow se of making further investments
when he met bis lamentable fate. THE I.ROTECTIONISTS

writes thus:—" If you don't love me, plase send back
the letter without breaking the sale."_.

SECOND CROP OF APPLES.—A Correspondent has
forwarded to our office a bunch of young apples and a
')unch of apple blossom, just gathered from a tree in the
orchard of Derry Farm, Glamorganshire. They are a
remarkable evidence of the mildness of the season, at
least in that quarter of the island. A new growth of
orchard fruit in November is something almost unpre-
cedented. It is some compensation, we must admit, for
the failures in vegetation by which the commencement
of this memorable year was rendered so lamentably re-
markable.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—In the Italian
journal of Milan (11 Pinata) of October 27, just come to
hand, we find the following declaration :—" We are
authorised by the celebrated singer, Signor Cavaliere G.
B. Rubini, to give contradiction (Ismentire) to the asser-
tions published by certain journals that he is engaged by
the new company at Covent Garden. If he should con-
template re-appearing in London, it will be at the theatre
of Signor Lumley, as he most formally promised to him;
the friendship so long existing betwixt them being the
same as ever." _ _

f FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.— Yes.erday morning,about
nine o'clock, a fire, attended with fatal results,
place in Ring-square, Goswell-street. It appears
person residing in one of the houses retired
to bed this
t a
took
morning rather in liquor, and about the time
specified the upper part of the premises were discoveredvery
on fire. Messengers were sent for the engines, and
promptly those of the A and B sections of the London
establishment, with that of the West of England Com-
pany,
with firemen, arrived at the scene of the calamity.
There being no want of assistance, the engines were
most vigorously worked for nearly half an hour, when
the flames were prevented from extending their destruc-
tion, but not until the upper portion of the house was
destroyed. The firemen afterwards entered, and found
the lodger burnt in a most frightful manner amongst the
partly burnt furniture of the first floor room. Our in-
formant did not hear the deceased% mime,
BRITISH ANTI-STATE CHITECH ASSOCIATION.—On
Thursday evening a public meeting of the members and
friends of this association was held at the London Tavern.
Dr. T. Price occupied the chair, supported by the 'ter.
Messrs. Miall, Mursell, Cox, Burnett, Stephens, Wad-
diieton, and several other ministers and gentlemen.
MORTALITY OF THE METROPOLIS.—The total num-
ber of deaths from all causes registered in the metro-
polis for the week ending Saturday, Oct. 31, 1846, was
977. Of this number there were 948 cases of death
from other causes than violence, showing an increase in
the number of deaths from disease of 84, as compftred
with the week preceding. The deaths from diarrhoea
were 26, from dysentery 3, from cholera 1. There were
1,345 births registered during the week ill the Me-
tropolis.

A
CONSOLATION.-4n Scotland it is customary,
what a death occurs in a family, to send the neighbours
an invitation to attend the funeral. A " guid auld wile ;vas passed by in one of these dispensations, and, with
her heart full of indignant grief, she watched the funeral
gathering around a neighbour's door. It was finally too
much for her, and she exclaimed, in a tone of forced
resignation, " Aweel, awed ! we'll ha'e a corpse o' our
ain in our ain
some day I Sec then w,h,:a be 41-
vited." " -

IRISH SAVINGS' BANKS.
(From the Times.)
In another place our readers will find an official return
which will do much to allay the anxiety excited by the
prospects of Ireland, though it will also suggest other
less agreeable reflections. It is an account of the
sums paid in and drawn out of the Irish
sbaevei nngt
entirely trusted, sr'
lbaks inth
Wete superficial appearances and popular statements to

ul(Ll)ig October 10, 1846.
e
justified in expecting
an immense deficiency of deposits as compared with re-
payments. At a time when it is vehemently protested
that there is no capital or steel: of any kind, no funds to
pay wages or rent, it is natural to fear that the savings'
banks have become almost superfleous establishments.
One expects to be tad that they are shut up, the accounts
wholly closed, and Government seriously embarrassed
by the vast aggregate withdrawn from ita hands. Such,
we are sorry to say, is the case at this moment in
France, where, if people are not lifting up their voices
quite so high as in Ireland, the weekly returns of the
savings' banks
prove that their means are undergoing a
rapid exhaustion. It is far otherwise in Ireland. The
saving's' banks there, with one great exception, to which
we shall shortly advert, never were more prosperous
than in this year of unprecedented distress. What in-
creases the. marvel is, that their prosperity, in different
districti, appears to be exactly in proportion to the ex-
tent of the demands on public benevolence. The
more -the people have wanted, the more they have had.
Under increasing distress there has happily existed a
mine of increasing wealth ; a d while the Treasury has
been laiishing its bounties he right hand, with the
left hand it has received a current of comfortable
depoSits. Of course one is o y too happy to be as-
sured by so undeniable a proof that after all there is a
solid bottom somewhere to this slough of despond. With
a.stiand substratum of increasing dtiposits the nation will
not sink quite overhead in the mire. At the same time
one feels very sure that no other country under the sun
could ever have presented so remarkable an inconsis-
tency between words and deeds. Connaught and Mun-
ster are the provinces which obtained the greatest amount
of relief during the twelvemonth ; and Galway, Mayo,
Roscommon, Sligo, Clare, Kerry, and Limerick were
the counties which made the strongest appeal to the
Imperial Treasury, and with the most successs.
Our readers will look with some curiosity to see how
they severally stand in the ledger of the savings'
bail. The sums "paid in" and the sum " drawn out"
by the trustees in the province of Connaught are
respectively 9,6001. and 4,4001. ; so that the province
had 5,200/. more in the savings' banks, it is to be
presumed, on October 10, 1846, than on the correspond-
ing day the previous year, though in the interval there
were two famines, two great measures of relief, two
general sinking or risings, prostrations or insurrections,
whatever they are to be called, of the peasantry. This
at least is singular. We have heard of bankruptcies
being very profitable affairs. A man twice bankrupt, it
is said, ought to be rich. This does for individuals. But
for a whole population commend us to a famine. A few
more famines, and Ireland will become one of the
wealthiest countries in the world. The anatomic vivante

got a handsome subsistence by eating nothing, all some-
body was wicked enough to dog him to a pork- shop.
The population of Connaught bids fair to thrive wonder-
fully on rotten potatoes well sauced with "relief"
works. There's the true remedy for this mysterious
disease, which the English savans were so long look-
ing for, and with so little success. The receipt is as
follows:—Empty a cart-load of the infected potatoes
on one side of the road, and set filty men to shovel the
heap to the other side, giving them Is. each for the
day's work, and you will find that the men will not
only exist on the potatoes, but will put by. The receipt
answers admirably in Connaught. Thus Mayo, which
a whole tribe of M‘Hales are always declaring to be at
the point of starvation, drew out only 2,3001., and paid
in as much at 3,2001. Roscommon paid in 3,300/., and
drew out nothing. Sligo paid in 1,8001., and also drew
out nothing. Munster exhibits equally wonderful re-
sults. The whole province paid in 80,6991., and drew out
only 53,8001., thus improving its account to the hand-
some extent of 26,899/. We have frequently heard
economists pronounce the potato rot the making of Ire-
land, but we think they could hardly have anticipated
such immediate results. The particular instances are
some of them exceedingly striking. Clare one always
hears of very early in a famine. It occupies an equally
prominent position in this return. The Ennis trustees
" paid in" 7,100/., and drew out 3001., the difference in
the favour of the Clare contributors being no less than
6,8001. Kerry seems to have done very well considering._
The trustees at Killarney had paid in 7,300/. and drawn
out 3,1001.—n0t nearly half. Tralee has not been equally
fortunate, or equally ingenious. It has paid in 4,800/.
and drawn out 2,700/., which is rather more than half.
Limerick beats them all. Its trustees have paid in
18,2001., only drawing out 3,3001. Really, the county
of Limerick cannot do better than confine itself,
for the future, to the cultivation of rotten pota-
toes. The exceptions are generally insignificant. The
only one of any importance is that which occurs in
Dublin itself, and has nothing to do with either the
potato rot or the relief measures. As much as 223,0001.
was drawn cut by St. Peter's parish, Dublin, between
the 25th of October, 1845, and the 3d of January, 1846,
in consequence of a rumour that the funds of that bank
were not sufficient to meet the demands of the depo•
sitors. Such is the explanation given in the return.
The circumstance that this happened to be exactly the
period of the panic in the railway market may possibly
have something to do with it. So large a sum of course
gives an unfavourable result as far as the whole of Ire-
land is concerned; but, taking Connaught and Munster
separately, the excess of deposits over the sums with-
drawn is 32,099/. We repeat :ghat it is most gratifying
to be able thus to sound the depth of Irish distress. A
savings' bank, to be sure, is not the best form of
saving ; it is too much like hoarding for us. Far more
satisfactory is it to see capital wedded to industry, in-
vested in stock, entrusted to the grateful soil, and
returning a better interest to its owners than 31.3 per
cent. We must say it is something like burying a
talent in a napkin to lend 100/, to so indifferent a
banker. That, however, just now is a minor considera-
tion. If the Irish peasantry have not such large heaps
of potatoes as usual, it is clear they have better deposits.
Somehow or other they have managed to make up the
deficiency. We would fain hope that it is by a more
honest process than that of the mendicant, who knows
that his craft is gone as soon as his sore is healed. For
the sake of the British name, as well as their own, vie
trust the Irish are not a nation of malingerers. One
thing, however, we have a right to ask, and that is, that
when the pecuniary result of the two famines has been
thus far so decidedly favourable to the Irish, they should
give the British Government some credit for supplying
the deficiencies and mitigating the visitations of nature,
It is plain by the infallible rules of Cocker that the par-
tial destruction of one potato crop and the almost entire
destruction of the other, ought to have left the popula-
tion generally very much poorer. The actual result,
however, is far otherwise. Something
has qualified the
inflictions of Providence and the deductions of arithmetic.
The compensation has happily prevailed over the cala-
mity. It is proved, in p ' unds, shillings, and pence, that
the Legislature possesses a claim to Irish gratitude.
That the claim will be acknowledged, even in the face of
this return, we dare hardly expect.

posit a casket of jewels with his London bankers for safe

HURRICANE AT THE HAVANNAH.
The following is a list of vessels damaged and lost in
the hurricane at Havannah on the 10th-Ilth of October,
1846 :

PRICE SD.

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HATANNAH.)
I went on shore at 7 A.M. on the morning of the 12,11,
and it is impossible to give an adequate idea of the dis-
astrous scene that presented itself. From the Arsenal
along the wharfs to the Moro—ships sunk, dismasted,
and damaged in every direction—but one scene of wreck.
The city has suffered severely. They estimate, from
lists already given, that no less than 100 persons have
perished by the falling of houses and street aecideras.
The sheers on each side of the harbour are blown down.
Of course great apprehensions are entertained for the
crops.
