MARKET NEWS_ YESTERDAY,)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been
but moderate, and the show of samples of that grain here was
small. The accounts respecting the potato cop
being still unfavourable, the demand was steady,
and in some instances selected parcels produced
a trifle more money, the value of other qualities
being firmly supported. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in
bond. moved off readily at an advance in the quotations of
quite is per quarter. The show of Barley was by no means
large. Most kind were in good request at very full prices.
The quantity of Malt on show wasnot large, yet no advance
took place in the quotations. Fine parcels of Oats were in
good request, at a further advance in the currencies of 6d per
quarter. The middling and inferior kinds were quite as
dear. Beans, Peas, and Flour fully supported late rates.

The supply of Beasts on sale here to-day being large, and
the weather somewhat unfavourable to slaughtering, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at barely the late
decline in the quotations. There were in the market 500
foreign Beasts, 1,570 ditto Sheep, and 48 Lambs, in full
average condition. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet
the Mutton trade was rather dull, at Monday's prices. Lambs
were in short supply, and heavy inquiry, at late rates. In
Calves a full average amount of business was transacted, at
an advance in the currencies of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Pigs

The best new Hops continue in good request, at fully, in
some instances a trifle beyond, last week's prices. In the

(From the London New Price Current of October 2.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market presented a very heavy ap-
pearance for all grey, brown, and common yellow kinds of
West India Sugar, and rather lower rates were taken, mak-
ing the fall for the week is per cwt; but bright grocery sorts
were sold to a fair extent, and fetched prices equal to these
of Friday last, but not above. Holders of all interior Sugars,
both Colonial and Foreign, are anxious sellers.

REFINED.-To-day trie.demar.d was limited for Refined
goods for home consumption; the value of brown lumps ac-
cording to quality is 62s to 63s 6d, and standard lumps 64s
to 64s 6d per cwt. There are sellers of Bonded Crushed
Sugar at 33s 3d for first quality, but there are few buyers to
be met with.
MAtannus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar offered at auction was large and amounted to 10,114
bags; good and fine yellow sorts met with attention and
brought full rates, bit other/ kinds went off heavily; grey
and the low and middling kinds of yellow at a fall of Is, and
on brown sorts the decline was is 6d to 2s per cwt—nearly
the whole, however, sold.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon two parcels of white Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 3,134 bags were offered at auction, and
sold at about the former value, viz. Benares, fine white at
54s to 565, good 52s 6d to 53, middling 508 6d to 51s 6d,
low 50a. damp and washed 47s to 53s per cwt. On Tuesday
2,800 bags will be offered at auction.
FonElGN.—This afternoon at public sale 30 cases 1,592
bags of Pernambuco Sugar, duty paid, were offered, and taken
in at the former value, middling yellow at 45s to 465, low
43s 6d, good and fine brown 42s to 42s 6d, middling 41s,
and washed 435. Privately little business was done in any
sort.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of
Coffee, but 3,400 bags of Ceylon; 166 casks 20 barrels of Ja-
maica are declared. By private treaty there was little
business done in any sort, hut good ordinary pale Native
Ceylon was not to be obtained under 39s per cwt.
'tEA.—Holders of Congou are unwilling to further reduce
their prices, although the trade act with caution, and do
not take more than their wants compel them. Pouchong is
wanted, and the supply being small, holders are enabled to
obtain 4id to bid for low to middling, and 7d to 10d for
good to fine. Twankay has met with little attention.
For Scented Orange Pekoe there are not many buyers,
although good to fino can be obtained at is 9d
to 2s, and plain at 9d to 10d. Of 'Tyson Eeveral parcels have
been sold in consequence of merchants further reducing their
prices. In Gunpowder there has been little passing, and
prices are lowering. For Imperial the market has a dull ap-
pearance. The consumption is going on satisfactorily, and
the trade in town or country are not over supplied, but the
stock held bimporters is immense, and far exceeds that of
last year. Merchants are complaining of the loss they ex-
perience on the importation of the common kinds of black and
green tea.

Fnurr.—This" afternoon at public sale 260 boxes of new
damaged Valentia Raisins were sold at 39s to 43s 6d ; 50
boxes 170 half ditto of old sound sold at 30s; 1,328 boxes
1,094 hf do new Muscatels in layers 525, damaged at 42s to
49s ;190 boxes of New Jordon Almonds, taken in at 8/15s to
91 for sound, and the damaged at 81; 248 pkgs of new Patras
Currants, sound nearly all taken in, butts 565, Carateels 575,
but damaged sold at 53s to 55e ; 1,970 pkgs Imperial French
Plums were all withdrawn; 90 pkgs of Prunes taken in half
brls at 30s, 1/land LA ditto 325.
SPICES.—For Nutmegs the demand has been less active,
and the market having been more freely supplied, prices
have slightly given way. Mace is still wanted, and nearly
fetch late rates; 36 chests at auction were sold. Pimento
has been in excellent request. Black Pepper is not offered
at any further decline, and the market has been less freely
supplied; but there has been only a limited business
transacted privately. Several parties are surprised that the
demand is not brisker, as prices are low compared
with those of former seasons, and the stock not large. White
has met with little attention, and prices continue to rule low.
Cassia Lignea is wanted, and in consequence of the small
supply prices are rising. Cloves have been sparingly
dealt in, but glower rates are not taken. For Jamaica
Ginger prices ruling low occasions the demand to be
good, and the parcels disposed of were at rather
higher rates; the better qualities being the most in request.
East India and African brought stiffer rates, and a fair
business has been transacted privately. Cinnamon is wanted,
and privately several parcels have been sold at prices 24 to
4d per pound above those of the last quarterly sales; the
improvement being more apparent on the better sorts.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—lmporters of all descrip-
tions of Jamaica Rum have been desirous to realise this
week, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 24
per gallon occasioned a large demand for all sorts ; the
quantity sold amounting to 650 puns. Calcutta has
been in excellent request, and prices are firmer. Fur
Leeward Island the market has a dull appearance,
and only small parcels have been sold at 2s 24
to 2s 3d proof strength. Demerara has met with little at-
tention, and 3s to 3s 3d is the value of strong qualities. The
arrivals of West India Rum have been extensive this week.
Holders of Brandy evince firmness, and insist upon fall rates,
but the demand has been less active ; the deliveries are,
however, going on largely. In Geneva several sales for ex-
portation have been made. In Corn Spirits an extensive
business has been done, and prices are very firm; speculators
are operating. In English Gin a good business has been
transacted.
Cocos,.—The demand has fallen off for West India; and
the market having been more liberally supplied, a decline in
prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Of Grenada 499
bags were offered at auction, and a part only sold. Foreign
has met with little attention.
SAGO is wanted, but at present no advance in the value
has taken place. For Tapioca prices remain low, and the
supply yet exceeds the demand.
IVIOLASSES.—The value of West India is 21s to 245, but
there has been only a limited business transacted. Bally Khal
Treacle has been in good demand at 21s 6d to 225.
RlCE.—Bengal is wanted, and in consequence of the small
supply at market, a further improvement
in prices has taken
place, many parcels having been disposed of privately. At
auction the sound of 200 I sip was taken in at 21s for good
white, but the damaged sold at 17s to 19s. There are buyers
under these rates, the consumption is going on satisfactorily.
Madras has been much sought after, and 16s to 17s 64 are
the rates offered, but the supply is scanty. There are
buyers of Java at 18s to 21s, but few parcel; are to be had.
Cleaned has been largely dealt in. Spanish and Italian
white are wanted. Prices are expected to be much higher
for all sorts of Rice, owing to the large quantity that will be
required for many months.
Satzurruz.—There are sellers of Rough by private con-
tract rather under previous rates, still few purchases have
been made by exporters and the home trade. On English
Refined the demand has been good at 29s 6d to 30s, but
there is more desire to sell thereat. Nifrate of Soda can be
obtained at 16s to 16s 6d per cwt, but little business has
been done.
Oats.—ln Seal Oil large purchases have been made this
week, principehy by the home trade, and further advanced
rates are given. Holders evince much firmness, and some
will not sell at . present prices ; the stock not being heav
and the consumption going on satisfactorily. Fory, Cod, reduced rates having been taken occasioned the
demand to be brisker. No further advance has occurred in
the value of Southern, but the demand has been good, and
the supply at market is still small. In Sperm Oil a good
business has been transacted, but holders are inclined to
realise, as there is a fair stock. The arrivals of Fish Oils
have increased since our last report. No further improve-
ment has taken place in the value of Linseed Oil,
as there
is a large quantity being produced. Rape Seed Oil
has been in excellent demand, and prices have advanced.
There has been a good business transacted in Palm, and
prices rule firm. For Olive the market has a firm appear-
ance, large purchases have been made. In American Lard
Oil several sales have been made at 361 to 401. There has
been no public sale of any kind of Oil.
TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 59 casks of New
South Wales sold, good and fine 43s 3d to 465, low and mid
405 to 42s 6d, very low soft 33s 9d ; 14 casks of East India,
good and fine 478 6d to 48s 9d ; 29 casks of Cape 48s 6d
49s 64 for good and fine ; 50 casks of first sort new Peters-

but there is a large quantity on offer, and a desire is mani-
fested to realise.TuauurrrlNE Prices continue rapidly to advance ; the
supply being small, and the demand extensive.

THE MAILS FOR LISBON AND THE CAPE OE Goon
HOPE.—In consequence of her Majesty's sloop Bull-
dog, which was to have conveyed mails for Lisbon and
the Cape of Good Hope, having experienced some
damage ten days ago, which obliged her to put back to
Devonport, the following notice was issued on Thursday
at the General Post-office:—" Her Majesty's sloop Buil
Dog has been ordered not to proceed to Lisbon and the
Cape of Good Hope. The mails have therefore been re-
turned. Another of her Majesty's ships will be
dispatched to the Cape of Good Hope, of the sailing of
which due intimation will be given.'

East India House, in Leadenhall-street, having been fot
some time closed, will be re-opened to the public as usual

" Of human ills and frailties I disoourse,

Which-young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.

How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings,
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob•
esrvance of the instructions herein containec: the feeble, the nor
vously delica e, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health th
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years andt en,"
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving emir
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information it
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physicion
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that We
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laivi
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fuming
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offsprik4
to follow, and finally by the cultivation Df our faculties, which is IP'
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body alai
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the aighest
of God's creations.

The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

REWARDS FOR STAR Dunmow Agri
cultural Society have been giving away what they call
"rewards for virtue." We,think them rewards for the
peacefulness of hunger. For instance;—" To the widow'
of a labourer in husbandry who had brought up the
largest family with the least parochial relief, was de-
voted a scarlet cloak; and to the second in degree was
presented a wash-tub and clothes basket" Thus it is
something to see, through the vista of long years of po-
verty and privation, the promised glory of a scarlet
cloak! A capital plan, too, on the part of the society, toa
serve hunger like a whale, and " throw a tub" to it..
" To the married couple, the labourer and wife, who had
brought up the greatest number of children with little or
no parochial relief, was given, not a Bitch of bacon, as
was formerly the case, but a gammon thereof." We think
the " gammon" peculiarly significant. It offers, too, a
delicious illustration of the charity of the Dunmow So-
ciety, for truly these rewards are gammon—all gammon
—and nothing but gammon.—punch.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.

On Thursday morning Mr. George Child, the super-
intendent of the Gravesend and Rochester Railway, put
a period to his existence by hanging himself, at his re-
sidence, near the Rochester terminus. The melancholy
end of this universally-respected individual has spread a
deep gloom not only among a large circle of friends, but
among the public also to whom he was generally known.
Deceased has left a wife and seven children. An in-
quest was held the same afternoon, at the Watermill
Tavern, Stroud, by Mr. James Lewis, Coroner for Ro-
chester, when the following evidence was adduced :
Mr. Henry Child, son of the deceased, was first ex-
amined. He said his father was 48 years of age. He
was superintendent of the Gravesend and Rochester
Railway. Witness is ticket-clerk in the establishment.
His father went to bed as usual last night with his mo-
ther; she got up between three and four o'clock, and
called witness to remain with his father, as he was so
much excited. His father then walked up and down
the room in his night clothes, as he was accustomed to
do when his mind was much engaged. He said he was
anxious about business, and wished he was not so ex-
citable; this was about four o'clock. He said he did
not know what he should do; there was this and that to
do, and he did not know how he should do it. He had
been to London yesterday, to the office of the South-
Eastern Company, and returned excited. His father
told him the appointment was all right; but the inter-
view had been productive of great nervous excitement.
After having paced the room for about ten minutes he
returned to his bed, and fell asleep. Witness left his
father's room about a quarter to seven, and he then ap-
peared to be asleep. Half an hour afterwards his little
sister called upon him at the office, and told him that
her father had hung himself. On going to the house
he found his father suspended by a silk handker-
chief from the curtain-rod of the bed; he was
then taken down, and a surgeon sent for. After wit-
ness had left his father, he understood that he came into
witness's bed-room, and inquired for him of his brother
John, who was hardly awake at the time, and he imme-
diately left the room. Had witness remained at home
he had no doubt he might have been the cause of pre-
venting his destroying himself. He was constitutionally
excitable, and a little sleep was always productive of a
favourable change. He returned from London last
night at half-past nine, and wrote a letter, which was
posted as usual, and he then observed nothing particu-
larly the matter with him, except that he fancied the
next duties of his office would be heavier than hereto-
fore. Ile has made a great anxiety of business for some
time past, but more so within the last three days, so
much so as to interfere with his proper rest.
The witness then handed the following letter to the
coroner, written to deceased by Mr. F. Collier, the secre-
tary to the company, which was read to the jury.—
" Broad-street, London, Sept., 1846.
"My dear Sir,—l am quite sorry to see you in such
poor spirits. lam sure the new arrangements will
neither interfere with your interests or your comfort,
and anything I can do to promote these coils will give
me pleasure."

Application for additional particulars and to negotiate for a Leaso

place is to be obtained.

NARROW ESCAPE OF AN EMI-

GRANT SIIIP.-AWFUL SUFFERINGS.

Recently considerable attention has existed regarding
the fate of the Elizabeth and Sarah emigrant ship, which
has been reported at Lloyd's as having been nearly
wrecked, twice or thrice, while on her outward passage
to North America, with three hundred Irish emi-
grants. Since the last notice published, announcing
the vessel being stranded on the island of St.
Peter's, south of Newfoundland, letters have been re-
ceived communicating the fact of her having been got
off, and her arrival at Basque Island, with a frightful
fever raging on board, to which the captain of the Eli-
zabeth and Sarah, Mr. Simpson, and no fewer than
twenty-three passengers, had fallen a sacrifice.
The unfortunate commander was, we understand, the
sole owner of the vessel, arid in consequence of his death
there is little probability of an inquiry being instituted
into the alleged charges as to the condition of the ship
and the stores with which she was provided. From all
the accounts received we extract the following :
" The ship sailed from Killala on May 26, twenty-
four days after the day advertised, and the time the emi-
grants had come on board. The original number of
emigrants she was to carry was fixed at 218, but the
number in her when she sailed proved far greater,
amounting to 280, besides the crew, and the accommo-
dation provided on board consisted only of thirty-two
berths. Owing to the great length of time before she
sailed, most of the emigrants had consumed a large
quantity of their stores, and by the time the vessel had
reached half way to her destination her position was
most deplorable, subsisting on short allowance, and
many with scarcely any. What was worse, the water
had from some cause become putrid. At the time of
the ship running ashore on St. Peter's Island, the captain
had au attack of fever, which soon carried him off, and
many of the passengers expired from the same disease.
The bodies of the passengers were immediately com-
mitted to the deep, but that of the captain was kept on
deck for thirteen days, until the ship arrived at Basque
Island. As may be supposed, it was in a shocking state
of decomposition. In the meanwhile twenty deaths had
occurred, and the illness that prevailed in the ship was
truly frightful. On the vessel reaching Basque Island,
the unhappy creatures received every attention from Mr.
Webb, the mate of the Liverpool, wrecked on the island,
who took immediate steps to convey information of the
dreadful condition of the emigrants to the Government
emigrant agent at Quebec, where they arrived on the
seventy-second day after their departure from Killala.
Twelve more deaths took place ere the ship dropped
anchor, and a vast number of the emigrants continued
in a dangerous condition up to the time of these accounts
being sent off.- The state of the ship when it arrived is
described to have been most disgusting. She was only
330 tons burthen, and was entitled to carry no more
than 155 adult passengers. She had 87 beyond her
complement."

TIIE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday Mr. Arnold, after revising the house-
holders' list for the only remaining parish in Bread-
street ward—St. Thomas Apostle—proceeded with the
lists for the various parishes in the Bridge, Candlewick,
and Walbrook wards.

John Laing, a retired military officer, residing at the
Terrace, Gravesend, had known Mr. Child for two years,
and had, during that time, been on intimate terms with
him. He was a man naturally of a very nervous tempe-
rament. Witness had observed for some time past that
business seemed very much to trouble him. Witness
considered his nervous system entirely shattered. Had
seen him on Tuesday; he was then unusually excited.
Mr. Broadbent, station-master on the line, was then
examined. His testimony completely bore out the pre-
ceding eviJence. Witness had endeavoured to cheer
him up ; he was very much excited on Saturda', but
much worse yesterday on his way to London. Deceased
shook hands with him as he left that morning, a thing
he had never done bef►re. Witness detained him for
about a minute, and advised him not to be so deponding,
as things would be all right ; and deceased replied he
would try and shake it off, observing that he knew it
was very foolish in him to be so. Witness's opinion
was that he destroyed himself through such excitement
as to derange his mental faculties.
Verdict—" That deceased destroyed himself in a fit of
temporary insanity."

During the day the lists for the parishes of St. Benet,
Gracechurch-street; St: John Baptist, Lawrence Pount-
ney; St. Clement, Eastcheap; St. Leonard, Eastcheap;
St. Magnus Martyr; St. Margaret, New Fish•street; St.
Martin Orgar; St. Mary, Abchurcb; St. Mary, Bo-
thaw; St. Mary Woolchurch Haw, and St. Michael,
Crooked-lane, were gone through.
Mr. ARNOLD gave judgment in the case of Henry
Prince, who claimed to be on the register for premises
in the parish of Allhallows, Bread•street, and who was
objected to by the Conservatives yesterday. It appeared
that Mr. Prince had signed at the same time two claims
to be rated, which had afterwards been served upon the
overseers by Mr. Anne or his agents at different times.
One claim was served during the currency of the rate
which was in force when it was signed, and the
other during the currency of a subsequent rate.
The claims did not specify any particular rate upon
which the claimant wished to be put, and they were not
dated.

Mr. ARNOLD said he had no hesitation in coming to
the conclusion that a person might authorise an agent
bond fide to see that he was rated to all rates, and to
make the necessary claims on his behalf. A case came
before him a few days since, in which it appeared that
the printed form of claim had been signed before it was
filled, and he held that the claim was insufficient. In
that case, however, the person did not seem to hare
known what he was doing, or that he was signing a
claim to he rated when he put his name to the form;
but in the present instance the claimant seemed to have
fully intended, when he signed the forms, that the claims
should be made on his behalf. The case was not very
clear; but as no question of tender had arisen, no rates
having been due, and as the claimant had acted bond fide,
he (Mr. Arnold) held that the claim was a good one, and
allowed the vote. _ _ .

One of the most outrageous burglaries that has been
for years committed in Essex was effected on Monday,
about two A.M., by a gang who forcibly entered the
house of Mr. James Pain, sen., horse-dealer, of the Red
Lion Inn, Coxted Green, South Weald. Horse-dealers
attending fairs necessarily keep large sums of ready
money in their possession, as the parties who committed
this robbery were no doubt aware, if not of the fact that
a considerable sum was to be found in the house in
question. Mr. Pain, it appears, retired to rest at his
usual time, and about two o'clock in the morning was
alarmed by having the window of his room forced in,
and six or eight men wearing masks and otherwise dis-
guised, entering the apartment. They told Mr. P., who
is advanced in years, they did not want to hurt him, but
they would have his money, on which he got up and
went down stairs, followed by several of the men across
the taproom to another staircase, leading to the room of
Mr. Georgo Smith, his grandson, in the front of the
other end of the house. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Horsley,
Mr. P.'s daughters, who slept in the adjoining room,
entreated them not to hurt their father, promising, if
they did not, to show them where the money was. The
villains then rifled their pockets of the contents ; but
they did not take a gold watch and various articles of
jewellery belonging to Mrs. Smith. They next went to
Mr. Smith's (the grandson) room, and called him by
name, and, drawing the curtains round his bed, told him
if he did not lie quietly they would kill him. They
then returned to Mr. Pain's room, where, during his
absence, most of the gang had been ransacking his
drawers, as the contents were strewed about. From a
strong chest, which they broke open, they took a small
iron box away with them, containing 174/. in 10/. and 51.
bank-notes and sovereigns, a canvas bag with eleven
sovereigns, thirty-three old guineas, a number of docu-
ments, &c. They all appeared well-dressed slightly-
made young men ; some of them wore Newmarket-cut
coats, and one of them had crape on his hat. They had
lights with them, several lucifer-matches, and a piece of
candle was picked up by Mr. Coulson, superintendent of
police at Brentwood, to whom, as soon as the alarm was
over, information was conveyed. Mr. Coulson immedi-
ately went to the railway station, and information was
forwarded per telegraph to the different stations down
the line, and to London, answer being returned in half
a minute, acknowledging that the information was
understood. The thieves left behind a short ladder and
a black-glazed calico pocket torn from a great coat, and
in which holes had been made to see thrcugh. It is
conciuded that they cut their bands with the window
glass, some blood being found sprinkled about the room,
and one of the men cut his throat with the glass in break-
ing in, as Mrs. Horsley states that she saw a wound, and
the party took a shirt from her box, belonging to Mr.
H., which he bound round it, and took away with him.
Mrs. Smith went to the window to give an alarm, when
two stones were thrown, but fortunately both missed
her. Information of the robbery has been conveyed to
all the police-stations, and it would seem scarcely pos-
sible, where so many are concerned, that they should all
escape detection. There is no doubt the men who com-
mitted the robbery are regular " cracksmen." They
told Smith that they would not hurt him, and that was
" every-day work with them." Charles Saggers, a lad,
grandson of Mr. Pain, was sleeping with Smith, and on
hearing the noise crept under the bed, and drew his
clothes with him ; he had twenty shillings in his pocket,
which they did not discover, nor did they find him
either. When they were leaving th premises, Mr.
Pain, like an " old brick," said to thFm that, as they
had not hurt any one, they had better stop and take
something to eat and drink ; but this they politely de-
clined, remarking that they had got what they wanted
—that they came after money, and had obtained it. One
of them, who cut his hands in getting through the win-
dow, held Mrs. Smith against the wall whilst the others
were searching for the cash, and the wound bled upon
her night clothes. There were six fellows in the house,
and Mrs. S. saw two or three others outside. The im-
plements used were jemmies, quite new and bright, with
which they wrenched the doors andlocks open.—Chelms-
ford Chronicle.

the ground of having merely a permissive occupation.
He stated that he was a cashier at the Stag Brewery,

THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO.
A Romance. By ALEXANDER DUMAS.
" The Count of Monte Christ° ' is amongst the best of Dumas'
works. In abundance and variety of incident it is marvellous. It
unites the wild fancy of the fairy or the Arabian tale with the ar-
tistic individuality of the modern romance. The verisimilitude of
the elaboration is as masterly as the fertility of invention is surprising,
and the descriptions of person; of accessories, and scenery, are as
vivid as pictures."—Spectator.

T UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER'
30 to IS per Cent. Saved !
To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
The advantages resulting from the invention are various and
strikn. Independently of a saving of 30 to 60 per cent„ the corn-
hithebestien Is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
steadily rto discevered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
for any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects
nr Soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
liaado to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of ftuniture, draperies, gold moulding, kc. ;
these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GA.
Ituzziwa." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is cora-
l:140111y supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
Waste Or trouble.
The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every ether known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
°Pinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Entreat from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,

gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The Principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stern of the button, was
heat ed, and passed out b
forcerwo series of fire-holes around the erihery,
and impinging with no the flame of the gas curved it p
outpwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The name was quite white down the top of the barner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
Where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
betteril ght, with a saying of rather more than one-third."

the whole, of the men were married, and have left
widows and families. The consternation which
the occurrence excited in the neighbourhood can
be imagined only by those who have been wit-
nesses to similar scenes of distress. Steps were
promptly taken by the persons connected with the
management for recovering the bodies, and in the
course of the morning those of one man and the boy
were got out. The remains of the other four men were
not recovered until about five o'clock on Monday even-
ing. The explosion cannot, under the circumstances,
be easily accounted for; but without desiring heedlessly
to impute blame in any quarter, or to anticipate the re-
sult of the inquiry which we understand has been insti-
tuted under judicial authority, we may state that the
common impression amongst the mining population of
Rutherglen and the neighbourhood was, that the disaster
had been caused by a trap-door, connected with the
ventilation, having been left open when it ought to have
been shut, in consequence of which the gas had been
concentrated, and rendered peculiarly liable to ipition
on the contact of flame.—Glasgow Chronicle.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, OCT. I.—There are additional accounts in
town to-day of the very serious collision at Dungarvan
between the military and the country people. One of
the wounded has since died from the effects of the in-
juries he received iu the unhappy affray. The sub-
joined version of the outbreak is from the Waterford
Chronicle :

" DUNGARVAN, MONDAY NIGHT, SEPT, 28.—About
12 o'clock the square and streets began partially to fill
with people, and at half-past 1 a body of labourers from
Old Parish, Ardmore, and Clashmore, to the number of
something near 700, entered the square. and marched in
procession down the quay and towards Mr. Flood's store,
where they cautioned him against shipping any corn.
Thence they proceeded towards the square, but on their
way to the main street they were invited by a baker
to partake of what bread he had in his shOp. This th,y
refused, and said they only wanted employment and a
proper rate of wages. They then scattered through the
streets and square, which were almost inaccessible, so
crowded were they. In the meantime a few mounted
police ,were passing to and fro amongst the people.
Police from several stations were placed at the Court-
house doors.

" At three o'clock Mr. P. C. Howley, resident magis-
trate, arrived from ICilmacthomas, where he was attend-
ing the extraordinary presentment sessions, with about
40 Dragoons of the Ist Royals. They proceeded to-
wards the lower part of the quay, where the labourers
had re-assembled, when Mr. Howley addressed them.
He told them that whatever they wanted to put it on
paper, in a respectful manner, and that he would trans-
mit it for them to Government.

" About half-past three the crowds became very much
excited. They went to Mr. Roger Baker's, Morgan's,
Williams and Fisher's bread .hops, when the military
interfered, and the police arrested two men whom they
considered to be the leaders, and lodged theta in Bride-
well.

"At four o'clock a most formidable reinforcement of
labourers was seen entering the town by William-street,
which caused the military to put themselves in the most
effective position of defence their skill could suggest.
The town was then literally black with people. There
was nothing that might be called an outrage committed
up to this time (half-past four) when an ingenious and
sensible friend to the public peace as well as the people,
Mr. James Byrne, of William-street, suggested to the
labourers the propriety of acting upon 111 r. Howley's
advice, to put their grievances on paper, and hand it to
him, which they did, and a document was presented to
the magistrates by a select number deputed by the en-
tire of the body present, setting forward their distress,
and asking for work at 6d. a day.
" On this being presented to Mr. Howley, who read it
—Mr. R. Longan, Mr. B. Boate, and Sir N. Humble,
justices of the peace, being present—he said that nothing
could be fairer ; that ho would transmit it to the Go-
vernment at once, and he and every gentleman present
would back it and represent things as they said there ;
and that he would be candid with them, and show them
the answer the Government would send him. Each of
the other magistrates concurred in that which Mr.
Howley stated. They then insisted that he should
liberate the prisoners taken in the earlier part of the
day. To this Mr. Howley replied, that on that head he
could make no terms with them ; on hearing which, the
majority of the labourers went home. There were a
great number of ill-disposed persons, amongst whom the
greatest excitement began to be manifested in conse
quence of Mr. Howley's refusal. Meantime the Res--
Mr. O'Gorman came up, and took upon himself to pro-
mise the people, that if they quietly dispersed, the per-
sons would be liberated on the following morning. This
did not apparently satisfy them. One misguidd man
in the crowd was seen by a policeman to stoop ter a
stone. Sub-inspector Rooney arrested him, and, while
handcuffing him, a shower of stones was thrown at the
policeman, when the Dragoons charged the crowd
through the square, making them fly in all directions.
It was now getting dark, and jest before the moon
rose, when the authorities resolved on clearing the town
of the crowds which were remaining about the square
and streets, without any apparent object. They got the
crowds before them up William-street, and quietly dr.ve
them before them. When coming near Carrol's public-
house, in the vicinity of the Christian Schools, a fearful
shower of stones were thrown at the Dragoons. Mr.

all about 26 shots. There were a great many received
flesh wounds. Two received what the medical gentle-
man pronounced to be mortal. One of them had his
thigh, just above the knee joint, shattere 1 in pieces; the
other received a bullet through the upper part of his
thigh, which passed through the scrotum, lacerating it

fearfully, and coming out at the other thigh. •
" Both the unfortunate men were immediately taken
to the poorhouse; on entering which they were treated
in the liliul.ct manner by Mr W. 1.11, tue
mcdiately surgeon Christian, the doctor to the establish-
ment, was in attendance, and did all that medical skill
could for the two men.

" Thus ended this day—a sad one to many.
" The town throughout the day wore the most ex-
cited appearance. Mr. Howley's task was a most try-
ing one, and well did he discharge it. I am bound to
speak from observation, and my duty compels me to
state, that if we were aided by a few influential men
from Dungarvan and the surrounding localities, the
sad catastrophe with which the day was terminated
would not have taken place.
" TUESDAY MORNING.—One of the men wounded
yesterday died this morning."
Some additional particulars are given in the following
account from another Waterford paper.
" At an early hour on Monday morning it was per-
ceived that hundreds—nay, thousands, of person from
the different localities were pouring into the town, and
the fishermen having remained from sea (although the
weather proved quite favourable for their going out)
caused great apprehensions on the part of the inhabi-
tants that some outbreak or outrage was about to be
committed. A strong detachment of police and military
were immediately placed under arms—the former at the
court-house, and the latter at the barracks. This pre-
caution was deemed necessary, in consequence of reports
being circulated very generally that a large body of the
peasantry intended to come into Dungarvan in the course
of the day, to prevent, by a public demonstration, the
shipping of corn for England. Groups of the unem-
ployed labourers congregated together in various parts of
the town, which were considerably increased as the day
advanced. About one o'clock a large concourse of the
populace, amounting to over one thousand persons, pro-
ceeded to the stores of Mr. Flood, agent to a Liverpool
house, who was about to ship corn, butter, &c., warn-
ing him on no account to do so. They then proceeded
to the concerns of Messrs. P. Dower and Son, who hold
a quantity of Indian meal, using the same language, and
declaring they should be either employed or fed, of
which one of the firm, Mr. J. Dower, said he perfectly
concurred, but said the line of conduct they were pur-
suing would only mar any substantial good being done
for them, and probably lives might be lost. After a
good deal of remonstrance on the part of Mr. Dower,
they departed.
" They proceeded up Carbery's-lane, and then west-
ward through the main street towards the square, and
called at several bakers' shops, where they got bread.
They again congregated in the square, and their number
at this time was considerably increased, and from the
demonstration that was made the shops were closed,
and the police and military called out. This state of ex-
citement continued some time, when a great number of
the populace proceeded to the house of Mr. Fisher,
baker, where they were refused bread, whereupon they
rushed into the shop, and were in the act of possessing
themselves of its contents, when the police and
military, headed by Mr. Howley, stipendiary
magistrate, proceeded immediately to protect Mr.
Fisher's property. A short time previous to
this occurrence the police and military were
reinforced by the arrival from Kilmacthomas
of a company of the Ist Royals, who imme-
diately assisted in quelling the disturbance. At this
time the excitement was very great—the Riot Act was
read, and almost every shop in the town closed. Mr.
Howley in the kindest manner remonstrated with the
hunger-stricken thousands on the imprudence of their
proceedings, and advised them to return to their re-
sidences. He assured them that the Government would
do everything that lay in their power to alleviate their
distresp, and procure employment for them. This ad-
vice had a good effect, and the unfortunates whom he
addressed appeared satisfied. After a short time the
whole force took up their position again at the square.
The police made several prisoners, and we are rejoiced
to say that there was not the slightest attempt made to
rescue any of them. We were informed that one of the
men taken was identified as the person who struck Lord
Stuart on Thursday. The town continued for about an
hour in a tolerably tranquil state, when it was again
disturbed by a cry that the Youghal people had arrived,
as a reinforcement. This, of course, created a great
consternation, and the appearance of great numbers near
the chapel was calculated to impress any beholder with
dread. The military remained at their post with the
utmost coolness, and no other act being done by those
assembled, the prowess of the soldiers was not then
called into activity; however, they were kept under arms.
"After six o'clock the magistrates deemed it prudent
to disperse the crowds, who foolishly turned round on
the troops and began pelting stones at them, when they
were ordered to fire, and two men were seriously
wounded—one, I am informed, mortally.
" Billets were issued in the morning for the accom-
modation of the Ist Royals, but they were afterwards
withdrawn in consequence of the commotion, and pro-
vided with stabling, &c., in one place, lest anything
should occur during the night that would require them
to be called out.
"Yesterday the town continued quiet, and a strong
additional body of military arrived to reinforce those
already stationed here.

seven o'clock this evening, on his way to the barracks
and, onainquiry, I have Darned that he was the bearer
of a requisition from the resident magistrate at Dun-
garvan to the commanding officer 'here, for a troop of
Dragoons to proceed at once to that place. The letter
further stated that a collision had taken place there be-
tween the military and the people, in which three of the
latter were seriously wounded, one of whom died since.
It appears that the people had openly expressed
their determination to revenge this injury ; that they
had dispersed for the purpose of collecting arms, with
which they intended to attack the military this night,
whose position is very critical, as their force is not
sufficient to oppose the numbers of people who are ex-
pected to assemble. There is no disposable force here
at present to forward, one of the treops of the Bth
Hussars stationed here having 'marched to Carrick-on.

did not think it advisable to send the remaining troop,
but he sent off an express to the colonel of the Bth Hus-
sars, at Cahir, for aid and advice; but as there is only
one troop there at present, it is not likely that the
colonel will send it, as by so doing he would leave that
place defenceless.

rescue of our famishing population, and adopt some de-

and employment, it 'requires no prophetic spirit to tell
the frightful calamity which will befal this unfortunate
land and its degraded and impoverished people, mad-
dened as they are by hunger and despair; and should a
famine outbreak take place, I doubt if England has a
sufficient military force at her command to suppress it,
as their operations will not be confined to one district or
locality, but will require to be extended over the king-
dom at large. I am, therefore, satisfied that 60,000 men
would not suffice for that purpose. Besides, flour and
meal is more digestible food than iron or metal. It is,
therefore, time not only for the Government but the
landlords, merchants, and men of property in general, to
be up and stirring in the cause of their suffering country-
men, if they have any desire to protect their properties,
and preserve the peace of the country:
" A troop of the Bth Hussars arrived yesterday in
Clogheen, to relieve the Ist Royal Dragoons. This,
being the only cavalry regiment in this neighbourhood, is

THE IRISH GOVERNMENT. _ _

Mr. Redington,h: Under• Secretary, returned from
London this morning, and scarcely had the Hon. Gen-
tleman set his foot within the Castle of Dublin, when
rumours flew abroad to the effect that certain proposals
which had been submitted by Lord Besborough, through
Mr. Redington, to the Premier, having for their object
the immediate application of a large sum of money
towards the employment of the poor, had not met with
the concurrence of Lord J. Russell. Accordingly the
report was, that both the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief
Secretary, conceiving that they were thus debarred from
carrying out, in a comprehensive form, the Government
measures of relief, had actually resigned their offices.
Of course no very great credit is to be attached to this
rumour, but this much is certain, that there is a "hitch"
somewhere, which, however, may be got over without
precipitating a resignation. Amongst the difficulties
which beset the Irish Executive one is said to be that
Sergeant Warren, one of the highest legal authorities in
the kingdom, has given it as his opinion that no assess-
ment can be made on properties where landlords possess
only a life interest in their estates, and that they cannot
leave a charge on property so circumstanced to their suc-
cessors. The Attorney-General, it is added, does not
concur in this opinion.
Up to post-hour this afternoon, the Lord• Lieutenant
and the Chief and Under• Secretaries remained in c 1( se
conference. Nothing, therefore, certain is known—all
is enveloped in mystery.
THREATENED RISING NEAR CORK.

The Corh Examiner a yesterday evening has the fol-

lowing :
" Information of an authentic nature reached the
authorities of the city this morning, that a large multi-
tude of people were collecting at Carrignavar, as a
centre, for the purpose of procet ding to Cork, to pillage
the stores and shops containing provisions.
" The chief magistrate immediately took due precau-
tions to prevent their approach. An arrangement was
concerted with the commanding officer of the garrison,
by which an adequate force is kept under arms, ready
on the first intimation of the populace coming near the
town to be posted at the different approaches, and dis-
perse them.

" These people must be actuated by the greatest in-
fatuation to attempt to sack any portion of this city. In
reference to the matter, we have received the following
communications.

" We received the following this morning from a city
correspondent:—
" EIGHT O'CLOCK, A.m.—l am just informed by a
person from the place that the labourers from all the
surrounding country, from Carrignavar to Ballyhooly,
are assembling at Ballynerdan, near Dunbolg, and are

God grant there may be no outrage. They want em-
ployment, and that their miserable wages should be
raised by the farmers from 6d. to Is. per da3:.
" HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK, P.M.—I have just seen a
man from Ballysierdane, where the meeting of labourers
was to be held; he did not attach any importance to the
movement, but heard their object was to proceed to Mr.
Foley, at Middleton, Lord Middleton's agent, to try act
procure em ploy ment.' "
FOOD RIOTS IN SLIGO. _ _ _

A letter from Sligo, of Tuesday's date, which appears
in the Evening Freeman, says—
" The quiet of our town has at last been broken, and
starvation is beginning to make itself manifest by out-
breaks. Yesterday evening the bread contracted for the
poorhouse was taken possession of by a mob, and, after
being divided, was immediately consumed. In dread of
this occurring again, the bread for the same place was
this morning guarded by the police. A large box of
bread, belonging to Mr. Martin, was attacked this morn-
ing, and the mob, not finding it sufficient, compe]lt d the
bakers of the town to supply them with food. Where
this will end God only knows, All the meal in town
being consumed, the people were in a dreadful way for
the last few days. The Government have now resolved
to supply biscuits at 10s. a cwt. This new move will
commence to-day."
A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
_ .

Mr. O'Connell's project of assembling together in the
Irish metropolis a meeting of delegates from all parts of
the kingdom, to devise measures, " in conjunction with
the Government," to meet the present crisis in the affairs
of the country, has found, amongst others, a warm sup-
porter in Mr. Ralph Osborne, M.P. Accordingly, that
Hon. Gentleman has issued the following address to the
landed proprietors of Ireland:—

It is obviously impossible, for any length of time, to
maintain prices here at a lower level than prevails in the
marketsof Englandand of the continent of Europe, with
which there now exists an almost unrestricted trade ih the
main articles of food ; and an attempt to do so must
speedily recoil in increased scarcity and deranged mer.

" These considerations will not preclude the Govern—
ment from continuing to take such precautions as they
may consider absolutely necessary with regard to the
supply of food in particular districts of Ireland ; but our
main reliance must be on private enterprise, eendnebed
through the - ordinary transactions of trade, and any
measures that have the affect of discouraging its exer-
tions must soon produce the most fatal consequences.

THE FAMINE, AND NAVAL FORCE
ON THE COASTS OF IRELAND AND SCOT-

LAND.
Last week we gave an account of the vessels placed
by the Admiralty at the di,posal of the Government for
the relief of the distressed Irish. Mince then the Admi-
ralty have added to the former number the steam- vessels
employed in the surveying service on the coasts of Eng-
land, Ireland, and Scotland, and have made such arrange-
ments for carrying into effect the propositions of the
Government, that whilst the vessels will be employed in
the conveyance of Indian corn, meal, and other provi-
sions, they will preserve their character and efficiency as
men-of-war, and will thus be always at hand to assist
the civil powers in preventing outbreak, and in the pro-
tection of life and property. The prompt manner in
which so many vessels have been made available for the
service required of them, affords a striking proof of the
condition of our naval resources, and of the judicious
application of them, without in any way distressing or
interfering with the regular Admiralty service. were
the surveying-vessels not required, very soon they would
have been ordered into port to be laid up for the winter.
As it is, the captains, commanders, and others specially
engaged in the surveys will bring their drawings on
shore, whilst their steamers will be more usefully em-
ployed than they have hitherto been.
By the number of men-of-war steamers now available,
the operations of relief can be extended to the western
coast of Scotland, where the distress, it is reported, is
pressing equally hard on the poor population.
The Government victualling establishments are, we
understand, to be set to work to grind corn and to menu-
facLure bread. Some of them are already hi active
operation, grinding so many as 100 quarters a day.
The following is a list of the men-of-war steamers
employed in the above service on the coast of Ireland,
together with the hulks fitted and being fitted for depots:
MEN- 451F•WAR STEA.MERS.—The Stromboli, sloop, 280-
horse power, Commander Fisher, employed on the
general duties of the station.
The Rhadamanthus, 220-horse power, Master-Com-
mander Aylen, employed in conveying meal to various
parts of the coast, and in the movements of troops, when
required.
The Dee, 200-horse power, Master-Commander
Driver, ditto, ditto.
The Myrmidon, 150-horse power, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Jenkins; the Pluto, 100-horse power, Lieutenant-
Commander Lowe, and the Alban, 120-horse power,
being of smaller draught of water, are employed in the
conveyance of the corn meal to the several ports from
the larger ships, and also to places up the rivers to which
the larger steamers could not proceed.
The Swallow, 70-horse power, Master-Commander
Bryant, tender to the depot ship Madagascar. in the
Shannon.
The Comet, 80-horse power, Lieutenant-Commander
Johnstone, conveying specie for several ports in Ireland.
The Tartarus, 136-horse power, Captain Wolfe, now
surveying, to be employed in the general duties of the

station.
The Lucifer, ISO-horse power, Commander Frazer,
now surveying the Saltees, between Wexford and
Waterford, to be uppropriatt d to the general duties of

the station.
The Blazer, 120-horse power, Captain Washington,
now surveying at klarwich, to be dispatched to Ireland
immediately for the conveyance of provisions.
The Dasher, 100-horse power, Captain Sherringham,
now surveying the Southampton Waters, to be sent
from Portsmouth to Ireland, immediately, tor the same
purpose.
STORESHIPS.—The Madagascar, 44-gun frigate, 1,100
tons, Master-Commander Burney, a depot vessel,
moored at the island of Foynes, in the Shannon._

The Andromeda, a 44-gun frigate, 1,200 tons, Sting
as a depOt at her Majesty's dock-yard, Devonport, and
ready to receive the gear of the Madagascar, to be navi-
gated to Ireland.
The Andromache, a 26-gun frigate, 700 tons, also
fitting as a depot at Devonport, for Ireland.
Thus we have twelve men-of-war steamers, of 1,756
collective horse power, 5,864 tons, and 720 (Accra and
men, and shall have three depots of 3,000 tons and 100
men. The above, together with two ordnance lighters
also employed, make 17 sail of nearly 9,000 tons and
above 850 men, on the coast of Ireland.
COAST OF SCOTLAND.
On the west coast of Scotland, as the distress is not
supposea to nave uccu xu vo.t,
fewer vessels have beeen appropriated."' 'They are, how-
ever, the following :—The Firefly, 220-horse power,
Captain Beechey, of late employed in surveying the
Swilly rocks, and the Shearwater, 160-horse power,
Commander Robinson, employed on the Scottish coast.
They rendezvous at Oban, and follow the directions of
Sir Edward Coffin, the Commissary-General.. Additbnal
assistance is in reserve, and will be given should it be
required.

NAV AL INTELLIGENCE.

week. An order for commissioning her arrived here
yesterday, and Commander Robert Tryon, who is ap-
pointed, hoists his pendant in a few days.
The Gloucester, 50 guns, fitting in dock for commis-
sion, is completed. She will go out of dock next spring-
tide to be placed in ordinary.

" Gentlemen,—However the great proportion of you
may be disposed to slight any recommendations which
emanate from Mr. O'Connell, depend on it some sug-
gestions he has thrown out, in his letter of the 25th ult.,
are well worthy of your consideration. Fas est ab hoste
doceri. Mr. O'Connell suggests,—' That the landed pro-
prietors, instead of continuing their scattered and iso-
lated attempts to meet the coming mischief, should im-
mediately form a National Committee, to meet in Dub-
lin, and assist, at this disastrous moment, in the ma-
nagement of such Irish affairs as relate to the approach-
ing famine.' By the concluding paragraph, you will
perceive that he does not contemplatb the mooting of
any other abstract subject; in fact, all such questions as
Repeal of the Union,' &c., must necessarily be laid
aside at such a crisis as the present; the visitation of the
Almighty has descended on all, without distinction of
sect or party; let us, therefore, for once, throw all poli-
tical differences to the winds, and, by taking counsel to-
gether, endeavour at least to assuage the calamity which
is impending. It is manifest the Government have been
taken by surprise, and have failed to lay in such supplies
of Indian meal as will be necessary to meet the emer-
gency, or to enact measures befitting the occasion.
'" Chaos empire sits,
And by decision more embroils the fray
By which he reigns: next him, high arbiter,
Chance governs all.'
" The property of the landlords is a convenient stop-
gap ; accordingly, should the present system of the 10th
Victoria continue, proprietors will eventually be reduced
to break stones on the very roads which are about to be
created by their own liberal contributions ; at least, it
cannot be objected, that you have shown an ignorant
impatience of taxation !' when one looks at the enormous
amount of the various presentments. I would, there-
fore, humbly advise the proprietors of Ireland, great and
small, to act on the suggestion of Mr. O'Connell, and
that with as little delay as possible. Whilst I write,
Indian meal, in many parts of the country, is selling at
ls. 11d. per stone, being within a fraction double the
price intimated by the Prime Minister and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. The people of the county of
Waterford, hitherto an orderly and well-conducted po-
pulation,.are inflamed against their best friends, and
blood has been shed. A meeting of the landholders of
Ireland, with the Duke of Leinster in the chair, would
at once insure the respectful attention of Government,
and the warm sympathy of the English people.
" I am, with great respect, your obedient servant,
" RALPH OSBORNE.

Newtown-Anner, Clonmel."
MARCH OF TROOPS FOR THE SOUTH.

The 47th Regiment, at present forming part of this
garrison, was placed under orders this day, to be in im-
mediate readiness to march to Youghal; unless counter-
manded in the meantime, the first division is to com-
mence its journey to-morrow morning.
RELIEF OF THE POOR.
The following communication from the Chief Score.
tary has been received by the chairman of a Relie
Committee in Cork ;

." Dublin Castle, September 21

" Sir, —I have.had the honour of receiving your letter
of the 17th instant, and the copy of a resolution lately
passed at a meeting of the West Muskerry Relief Com-
mittee, stating that since the Government had declared
their intention of interfering as little as possible with
the trade in provisions, except in special cases, the
price of Indian meal had materially risen. I have sub-
mitted these documents to his Excellency the Lord-
Lieutenant, as well as similar communications which I
have received from other places.
"I hope the memorialists will do me the justice to
believe that I feel the mast sincere anxiety to mitigate,
by all practicable and legitimate means, the pressure of
the calamity that has befallen this country; but I

THE NAVAL RETIREMENT.—In the scheme pro-
mulgated on the 31st of August by the present Board of
Admiralty, it was intimated that officers not in Europe,
who might be desirous of accepting the retirement,
would not be excluded in consequence of their lettere(
not reaching England before the Ist inst., as reasonable
time would-be allowed for such applications. Although
the number fixed as the retired list (200) has, we believe,
within a very few, been completed, the Board, acting
with becoming good faith, have extended the period
during which officers may intimate their desire of itc-.
cepting the retirement to the Ist of November; the re-
tired pay commencing from the Ist October, as originally
intended. The scheme includes officers of fifty years of
service.age, wh from o

one-third will be saved. The threatened disease in the
turnip crop is fast disappearing. There are, in general,
not more turnips found irremediably injured than in
ordinary years. The disease is said to have been
nothing more than a mildew or rust, that covered and
discoloured the leaves, preventing them from exercising
their functions, and thus stopping the growth of the
plants. The same disease was apparent in 1826. Al
most all traces of it are said to have vanished after
the late rains, and it is expected that the crop will yet
recover. The grain is very high at present. The millers
have none in their possession, as the farmers have pas-
ture in great plenty, even as much as in the mouth of
June, and, of course, standing in no need of fodder, are
not inclined to thrash out any portion of their crop. It
is, however, hardly expected that the_present prices will
be long maintained.—Aberdeen
