INDIANA.—This State is rapidly increasing in
wealth and population. In 1820 it numbered 149,000 inhabi-
tants ; in 1830, 341,581 ; and at the present time, the pePu-
lation probably exceeds half a million. The sale of public
lands in Indiana, for the first three quarters of 1833, amounted
•to 425,371 dollars.—New

night at 11 o'clock, and next day at 1 o'clock p.m. pro-
ceeded to the Chamber of Commerce, which was crowded,
not with subscribers, but strangers, who received. him with
enthusiastic cheers. He addressed them at some length,
and in the course of his observations congratulated them on
the conduct of their two representatives (Dr. Bald Win and
Mr. Callaghan) in thetr • support of his motion on repeal.
He then proceeded to take a review of Irish affairs, and
repeated much of the matter he had already delivered
at Waterford. He confessed himself to be a ministerialist
conditionally.—(Loud cheering.) He would be a minis-
terialist as long as the Administration remained with the
peOple, but no longer. The present
.Administration was
as changed, as essentially different in its character from
that which opened the session, as if those who composed
it were in reality changed themselves. They were now,
lie felt persuaded, determined to ameliorate the condition
of the people of both countries, and as long as they con-
tinued so, he trusted the people would continue with
them.—(Cheers.) * * * They had now an Admi-
nistration disposed to serve the people, and if the people of
Ireland would but follow his advice and abstain from agra-
rian disturbance—if they would but assist him in put-
ting down Whiteboyism, he pledged -himself that in three
months of the next Session of Parliament several measures
of good to the country would be passed.—(Continued.
cheers.) He then adverted to the defeat of the Tithe Bill
in the Lords, and declared that tithes were now virtually
and completely abolished ; and he anticipated the introduc-
tion, in the commencement of next Session, of a Bill levy-
ing in lieu of them one shilling in the pound on the rents
(whether the payment would lie with the landlord or the
tenant would be afterwards considered), to be applied to any
purpose that Parliament might think expedient.. At all
events, he should insist that no incumbent -should be paid
unless there were sufficient Protestants in the parish to con-
stitute a flock. Lover, in his Storiess-qf Ireland, had a
• story called " The Burial of Tithes." He quite agreed
with Sam. Lover, for he now considered tithes dead and
buried.—(Laughter.) They looked exactly like a man
with a bare head in a fight at a fair, tempting every one to
have a crack at it.—(Laughter.) Every one should now
have a blow at them, and meetings should be held in every
parish in Ireland for their total abolition. * *He
wanted to see the Protestant Clergy paid like the Catholic
and the Dissenting, by voluntary contributions, and if the
men, women, and children of every parish in Ireland sent
forward petitions with 5,000,000 of signatures, lie would
promise them that in 1 months they would see them so
paid.—(Cheers.) * * * There was a subject to
which he had not yet alluded—that subject was the
Repeal of the Union.—(Loud cheering, which lasted se-
veral minutes.) He was as much a Repealer as ever.—
(Loud and continued cheering.) He felt convinced
that nothing would confer such benefit on Ireland as
a domestic Legislature, and if he wanted additional proof
to convince him of that, the manner in which the Tithe
Bill was treated by-the House of Peers was sufficient.—
(Continued cheers.) It would he impossible for such a
thing to be done if Ireland had a resident Parliament.—
(Chers.) That body, acted upon by public opinion, as it
would be in a great degree, could not do anything in
violation of the liberties of the people. Even the Conser-
vative Peers who came to dance the bear's gig the other
day in Dublin were restrained by-the feeling that they were
in Ireland. Here, then, lam a repealer of the Union, a
volunteer, and a Ministerialist, ready to. receive any inter-
mediate measures that may present themselves, as young in
the cause as if I was but five-and-twenty.—(Cheers.) 1
feel I have as yet done nothing for my country.—(Loud
cries of " You have !" followed by much cheering.) I
never was before in the position in which I could do so
much with effect. If you will only stand by me in sup-
pressing agrarian and Whiteboy' -disturbances, I promise
you, aided as we are by the Ministers, that I will effect
much in a little time."—(Cheers.)
Before he left the Chamber a deputation waited on him
to request his acceptance of a public dinner previous to his
departure from. Cork. This he declined, stating the neces-
sity of proceeding immediately to Dertinane, in considera-
tion of Mrs. O'Connell's delicate health, and soon after re-
tired, cheered through the streets by the Crowds, who re-
cognized and followed him. In the evening an immense
bonfire blazed opposite the Chamber of Commerce, a visible
type of the joy of the meb. Hii wealthier admirerS gratified
themselves and the public by letting off rockets and a variety
of fireworks till a late hour on Sunday night. , He departed
with his family from the Imperial Hotel for. Derrinale on
Monday morning.

TRAGICAL EVENT.-STATE OF SOCIETY IN

AMERICA.

The following awfully tragical account we find in the
Charleston Courier :

MoraLE, JULY 9.—We have been favoured by a gen-
tleman of this city, who was at the time in the neighbour-
hood of the scene described by him, with the following par-
ticulars of a most unparalleled and bloody affray Which oc-
curred in Baldwin county on the sth instant.

A misunderstanding has existed since about the Ist Jan.
last between Robert Singleton and David English, sen., in
regard to the right of possession to certain negroes. On the
4th of July (and for some six or seven months previous)
they were in the possession of Singleton. On the latter
day Washington English and David English, jun., sons of
D. English, sen., repaired to the plantation of R. Singleton,
in Baldwin county, taking with them three white men, two
or three Indians, and one or two negroes, the property of
David English, sen. They immediately took possession of
the negroes, although one of them made so obstinate a re-
sistance, and exhibited so determined a resolution never to
be taken, that he was killed on the spot by Washington
English. The party then proceeded towards the planta-
tion of D. English, senior. In the mean time, R. Single-
ton having received information of what had been done, im-
mediately set out, taking with him his eldest son, Joseph
Singleton, to endeavour to intercept the party on the road.
On Saturday morning, the 6th, both parties met (it was
in Baldwin county, but I cannot designate the spot.) The
two Singletons and the Englishes had each a double-bar-
relled gun. On approaching each other W. English told
R. Singleton " not to shoot—he would surrender." Upon
hearing this It. Singleton turned half round to speak to his
son, and at that moment received a shot from D. English,
jun., in the shoulder (it is not certain whether this shot or
the one which immediately followed from W. English killed
Joseph Singleton) ; the shot was of sufficient force to turn
R. Singleton so as to face the. Englishes, when he, R. Sin-
gleton, fired at D. English, and shot him in the head ; R.
Singleton's was the second gun fired—just as l:e fired he
saw his son Joseph fall dead at his feet. W. English dis-
charged one of his barrels at the very instant It. Singleton
-discharged his at D. English, and wounded him, IL Sin-
gleton, in the side, and before he, Singleton, , recovered
from the first effects of the shot, he, AV. English, le-
velled his second barrel, which snapped. W. English
dropped his gun and fled, calling out to R.. Singleton,
" don't shoot, don't shoot ;" his course was directed towards
the prostrate body of his brother, one of the barrels of
whose gun was still loaded. R. Singleton, supposing it was
his design to get the gup, fired at him and killed him on the
spot.
.There was one other gun discharged, but by whom ap-
pears uncertain, and it is equally uncertain whether it did
any execution. The individuals who accompanied the Eng-
lishes all fled after the first or second discharge ; one of
them was shot through the ear and. one of the negroes
slightly wounded.
SUMMARY.—One negro man killed by W. English, W.
English and Joseph Singleton killed on the spot ; D. Eng-
lish, jun. shot with several buck shot in the head ; he was
still alive on the evening of the 7th, but not the least hope
of his recovery. R.' Singleton's wounds are neither of
them mortal, unless mortification takes place. His age
about 50, his extraordinary exertion, having, after dispers-
ing the opposite party, arrested all the negroes, sent them
back home, walked half a mile to where he had left his
horse, and then riding six or eight miles, may, all taken
together, prove fatal ; it is thought by his physician he will
speedily recover.

Some French Gentlethen, very celebrated in
Paris as divers (plongeurs), have for some time past been
practising their art under the arches of Battersea Bridge, and
displaying in appropriate costume before a crowd of spectators
all the exercises of the swimmer and the diver.

A NOCTURNAL ADVENTURE.—AII incident took
place at the Star Hotel, King-street, Manchester, in the course
of Tuesday night the sth instant, which is enveloped in consi-
derable mystery.. It appears that a commercial gentleman who
was stopping at the hotel, being unable to sleep, owing to the
heat, got up and opened the room door, for the admission of
air. He then returned to his couch, but still wooed the " leaden
divinity" in vain. In a short time he saw a man enter his room
on tiptoe, and cast a cautious glance around. Being desirous
of seeing what this would lead to, the gentlemen remained
motionless on the bed, affecting to be asleep. . His visitor, hav:.
ing made a close survey of the room, advanced towards the

at an end, the gentleman sprung out of bed, caught the intru-
