IRISH REBEL MELODY.

Och! Murder! Bad luck to ye, base Johnny Russell;
Sure is it meself ye would saze and confine?
Would ye thrate me like Mitchel, Jones, Vernon, and
Fussell,
And be afther impadin' me noble design?
Ah, ye thief o' the world ! Ah, ye Saxon oppressor,
Would ye rob me, I say, o' my birthright of spache,
All because, in the way of a paceful Professor,
Just a little rebellion and bloodshed I prache ?
Would ye pinion me, like a misfortunate ogle,
Since the right of rehistin' the law I maintain,
And that property's theft, and to make it a legal
Possession, it ought to be stolen o'er again ?
Fond, fond was the picture me fancy had painted
Of uproar and massacre, pillage and flame ;
Arrah ! Would me bright steel with your heart was
acquainted
Ye've intirely destroyed me magnificent dhrame.
I beheld o' me country the glorious image
In a grand hubbubboo, a majestical broil,
All at sixes and sevens, and meself in the skrimmage,
Conlin' in for an iltigaat share o' the spoil.
But me prospects are clouded, the word has keen
spoken;
'Tis all up with me schemes—l am ruin'd and kilt ;
'Tis me pike that is blunted, me bottle is broken,
And what will I do now mo vitriol is spilt ?
Och, Lord John, ye spalpeen, be your lot botheration,
Since the flower of rebellion ye've nipt in the bud,
And have snuft"d out meself with your prompt legis-
lation,
That has chated me out of me plunder and blood !
—Punch.

PARISH OF ST. PAUL, COVENT- GARDEN.—THE
DEAN OF MANCHESTER.—Last evening a meeting of the
rate-payers of this parish was held in the vestry-room,
" for the purpose of affording those who are desirous of
so doing an opportunity of expressing their regret at the
removal of the Very Reverend the Dean of Manchester
from the pastoral care:of this parish, and of presenting
to him some testimonial of the respect and esteem which
they entertain for him." Mr. Churchwarden Spice in
the chair. On the motion of Mr. Few, seconded by Mr.
Chine, a resolution, expressive of the congratulation of
the meeting at the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Bowers
to the deanery, and of regret at his removal, was unani-
mously adopted. Mr. W. Cribb moved that a committee
be appointed to carry out the other part of the requisi-
tion—namely, to present some fitting testimonial to the
Dean—which was seconded by Mr. Cooper,B_ announced.

_At Jamaica sugar was quoted at 163. to 19s. Gd.
per 100Ibs., and advancing in price.
(From the Jamaica Dispatch of July 3.)
We hear that the American frigate from Hayti,
with 400 refugees on board, which was expected to
nrrive at this port, has been wrecked off the Morint
Keys on Friday last, but it is said that all the lives
are saved.
At Cuba trade is very dull, and all retrains quiet.
An insurrection took place at Santa Croix on the 2d
of July. The whole of the black population, amounting
to 22,000, rose, and a :portion of them waited_ upon the
Governor, demanding their freedom by four o'clock that
afternoon. The troops, consisting only of 130 men, and
about 2,000 militia, could do little against such superior
numbers, and their emancipation was, therefore, granted;
but they committed some excesses, and twenty or thirty
lives were lost. Six hundred Spanish troops were sent
for, who lauded on the 6th, and tranquillity was restored.
The Governor resigned, and came home in the Dee.
Although Cuba is reported by some of the papers to
be quiet, we are informed, on authority, that great ap-
prehensions are entertained of the negroes rising.
Amongst the passengers brought by the Deo are his
Excellency General Von Scholton, Governor of the
Danish West India Islands ; his Excellency Governor
Willoughby Shortland, of Nevis, and lady ; Captain
Gardner, RN. ; and Major Freer and lady.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
On Friday night, a gentleman connected with the
house of Paton and Adams, warehousemen, London-
street, Glasgow, arrived at Oban, by the Dolphin, steamer
from the north. He went to Mrs. Sinclair's, King's
Arms Inn, and engaged a bed for the night. After
taking tea he walked out for a little, and on returning
he complained of being unwell, and desired that a sur-
geon might be sent for. Mrs. Sinclair immediately
had Dr. Paterson in attendance, who prescribed me-
dicine for him, and saw him twice previous to going to
bed, about two o'clock on Saturday morning. The
gentleman had given orders to arouse him at six o'clock
for the Shannon steamer, going to Glasgow. The
waiter looked into his bed-room just before going to
bed, and the gentleman was seemingly asleep. At
six o'clock, one of the waiters went to his bed-room
door and knocked ; no answer was given, and after
repeatedly calling he opened the door, but the bed was
empty, and some of his clothes were lying on a chair.
The alarm was instantly given, and every corner of the
e,tablislnent was examined, but in vain. The bed-
-Mem window was up, ~nd it was thought he had gone out
O. is. Search was made in the adjoining garden, and a
nightcap which he had on when going to bed was disco-
, vered. No trace of him could be found, however, till about
eight o'clock, when Mr. Buchanan, chemist, saw a body
lying at the base of a rock 90 feet in height. The body
ik,as.4..nces identified as that of the stranger. It is
Ibppietill that' after all .was quiet, the unfortunate
gentle an had !jou and walked to the summit, and
that ho had, either accidentally or intentionally, gone
over the perpendicular precipice. It would appear that
in his descent he had caught at some object, as some
ivy and grass were found in his hand. He had only
on his trousers and shirt, and no stockings nor shoes.
After getting out at a window, he had to drop from
a house below, and to scale several garden walls, ere
he could manage to get to the street. There was
comparatively little bruising about his body, which
may be accounted for by his falling into a soft place
in a garden. Dr. Paterson was of opinion when he
visited him that he was labouring under a slight
mental aberration. The affair has caused a painful
sensation in the place. It is understood that he is
married. Mr. Gregson, the fiscal, has had an investi-
gation regarding the melancholy affair.—Greenock
Advertiser. [lshe gentleman here referred to was a
Mr. John Shirlaw, who left his employers on Saturday,
the 22d ult., on an eight days' pleasure excursion
through the North and West Highlands; and it appears
had got as far as Oban on his way homeward, when
the melancholy event took place. We understand that
he conducted himself at all times with great propriety.
lie had been upwards of twelve years in the same esta-
blishment, and was never known to bo absent an hour
without permission, being sober, attentive, and indus-
trious; qualities which made him esteemed by his em-
ployers, us well as by a numerous circle of acquaintances.
He was unmarried.—Glasgow Paper.]

METROPOLITAN NEW PUBLICANS' PROTECTION
SOCIETY.—The fourteenth. annual general meeting of
this society, which Nees established in 1834, fur the pur-
pose of defending and protecting the rights and privileges
of the beer trade, was held at the large room of the White
Conduit House, Pentonville, yesterday forenoon;, Mr.
Hawkins in the chair. Mr. C. J. Bishop, the secretary,
read the report of the society's proceedings for the past
year. The statement of the accounts exhibited an income
of 4801. 14s. ld., and showed a balance of income over
expenditure for the same period of 153/. ss. In the
afternoon the anniversary dinner of the society was held
in the spacious pavilion of the White Conduit House,
under the presidency of Mr. Robinson, trustee to the in-
stitution. Between 700 and 800. members of the trade
mustered to celebrate the occasion. The usual loyal and
appropriate toasts were cordially given during the even-
ing; and the merits of the institution, in its twofold ca-
pacity of a vigilant and efficient guardian of the interests
of the beerseller, and as a beneficent and openhanded
dispenser of its bounty to the needy widow, the orphan,
and the aged, were ably set forth by the secretary, the
chairman, and other speakers who addressed the com-
pany. A concert and ball wound up the festivities of the
day, and all passed off happily. The gardens, saloon, and.
other adjuncts of the far-famed White onduit pre-
sented a gay, a thronged, and an animated appearance
throughout the day.
THE MILITARY CAMP AT EVERTON.—We an-
nounced on Tuesday that the 46th Regiment pitched
their camp, near Breck-road, on the evening previous.
Since that time so novel a sight at Liverpool has been a
source of great attraction and interest to thousands of
the inhabitants, who have daily visited the ground.
There are upwards of 1,000 men in the regiment, which
have been temporarily encamped here. It was expected
that, yesterday afternoon, three companies of the 81st,
about 400 men, would encamp on the space between the
4fith and Breck-road, and the Dragoon Guards, it was
supposed, would shortly be removed to the same locality.
The tents are so placed as to leave wide thoroughfares
between the rows, each row ,being appropriated to one
company, with officers, &c. In fine weather the mus-

BROTHERS AND SISTERS. BY FREDRIYA BREMRE.
TRANSLATED BY MARY HOWITT.—A new novel by Miss
Bremer is always sure to be attractive. Every one who
is acquainted with her previous works must rejoice to
renew the acquaintance of a lady who paints human
nature with such marvellous truth and animation.
" Brothers and Sisters," a Tale of Domestic Life, is in
every way worthy of the author of "saexcellent
" The Neighbours." It is characterized by the same
The Home,"
" and
unflagging interest—the same vigorous e,
sketching of life
purpose. The work is one which will not only delight
and amuse, but also instruct. We have only to add, that
whichai

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT F4YERsuam.--Early on
Thursday morning a destructive fire broke out at Paver-
which destroyed a large barn containing upwards
room,maa
eshmfaloo quarters of uncleaned wheat, four valuable horses,
beuiiglchlitngpigussedan as d
at n two
aseseamlvbelsy, a malt_
house, threshing machine, several carts, and various agrica-
tuoruasle,imapslpeanaceibnutss,
newly-built dwelling-house, and a carpenter's shop, the
whole extending over a considerable space of d
groun
situate in Preston-street, and surrounded by much va-
luable house property, which was fortunately preserved
by the indefatigable exertions of the e
townspeople. The
fire is supposed to have been the workof
i
an ncendiary,
as, from the situation of
that part of the premises in
which the fire was first
discovered, no way by which it
could have occurred accidentally
can be imagined. A
labouring man of the neighbourhood was taken u on
an
suspicion, but released on his own recognizance.
P Mr.
Dawson, carpenter and joiner, whose houszeacend pro-
perty in trade are entirely destroyed, was uninsured
but Mr. Kingsnorth, the owner of the farm stock, had
effected a policy in the Pho3nix Fire-office. The other
buildings, as barn, stables; &c., which belonged to W.
Rigden, Esq., are not, we understand, secured by in-
surance.

THETFORD ELECTION,—THETFORD, Ava. 4.
The tleetion for a member for this borough, in the room
of Mr. Baring, now Lord Ashburton, took place
yesterday at Thetford. At ten o'clock Mr. F. Baring
entered the town, when a company of musicians and the
principal inhabitants of the borough accompanied that
gentleman to the Guildhall. The usual proclamations
having been disposed of by the mayor, L. S. Bidwell,
Esq., R. Gill, Esq., came forward and proposed, as a fit
and proper person to represent the borough, Mr. F.
Baring, the brother of the late member. li. It. Tyrrell,
Esq. , seconded the nomination, after which Mr. Baring
was declared duly elected, and having addressed the
meeting, the proceedings terminated.
