A SINGULAR VOYAGE ON THE RIVER.—A strange
feat was on Monday successfully performed on the river,
between Vauxhall and Westminster bridges. Mr.
Barry, one of the clowns of Astley's Theatre, had an-
nounced his intention of sailing, from Vauxhall to West-
minster in a washing-tub drawn by two geese. The
crowd assembled to witness this strange undertaking was
very large, and would have been greater had not the
affair " come off" before the appointed time. The road
from the new Houses of Parliament to Thames-bank
was almost impasiable, and an immense number of per-
sons stationed themselves upon the wharfs and barges.
The opposite shore, particularly Bishop's-walk, was also
thronged, and for long previous to the time.fixed upon, a
number of boats filled with spectators, rowed up to
Vauxhall-bridge, and took up favourable positions. At
about half-past three o'clock Mr. Barry, in his clown's
dress, and with several of his friends, arrived at Vaux-
hall-bridge, and all things having been prepared, he at
once stepped into his tub, and with all imaginable con-
fidence started upon his " voyage." The tide being in
his favour, he went along smoothly enough, and he had
little difficulty in making the geese keep a proper course.
An immense number of boats accompanied this strange
water party, so that the vcyageur was in no fear of
drowning. Mr. Barry disembarked at Westminster-
bridge, and amidst loud cheers proceeded to the theatre.
The same thing was done years ago by Mr. Usher, the
cl:)w n, recently deceased.
The trustees of Lord Crewe have made a donation
of ten pounds to the funds of the National S(hool,Ecuth-
wiek, per the Re/. F. J. James.

G LOBE.—In answer to the demand for corn-
rents along with leases, a question has been put at
which we are not much surprised, considering the
quarter whence it emanates, but in dealing with
which we do not anticipate much difficulty. It is
asked, why corn-rents only ? If the farmers' rents
are to be calculated according to the existing price of
his produce, why not also his taxes ?—why not
everything we purchase ? Now, there is one
very simple answer to this. Supposing it were
so, into whose pocket would the difference go ?
Whatever the farmer managed to save in low-
priced years, would only serve as a help to meet
his ever-recurring difficulty—rent. This objection
—conclusive as it appears at first sight—is but one of
the many ingenious devices of the landowners for
keeping together a little longer their system of
monopoly rents. The readiness of the landowners,
as a class, to adapt themselves to every change in
the state of public feeling or circumstances,
is really wonderful. When the manufacturer
pointed out to the farmer how closely united
were their common wants ; how their joint inter-
est lay, in fact, in getting their raw material—the
farmer his land, and the manufacturer the land's pro-
duce—at the cheapest possible rate, the landowner
proclaimed aloud, with the stunning authority of a
Lord Peter, that the identity of interest lay between
him who let the soil and him who hired it. When
he found protection slipping slowly, but surely, from
his grip, who so urgent as he to teach the farmer not
to rely on protection, but on his own industry?—
who so unceasing in his endeavours to persuade the
farmer to expend his capital in improving his land-
lord's soil ? When the counter-cry for leases arose,
what beautiful effusions upon " mutual confidence,"
—what " noble sentiments" about " the old ancestral
relations !" And now, when it seems soms few leases
have here and there been wrung from them, and it is
found to be impossible to calculate a rental that shall
give any real security to the farmer ; and it is there-
fore reasonably enough demanded, that if the present
system is to be continued, rents shall rise and
fall with the fluctuations which that system
creates ; the reply is, in heartless mockery :
" Oh yes, have corn-rents, cornrtaxes, and every-
thing else that your hearts can find to desire."
We thank the organs of restriction—let it not be
called--" protection"-=for their implied admission.
Their system necessitates injustice to the farmer,
ramifying through all the relations of his social life,
the only remedy for which needs. but to be named to
show that is impossible. That the sliding-scale is the
real cause of the enormous fluctuation in prices, we
°a* pprehend: cannot now be doubted. It may be Conceded,
that under a perfectly free trade bet Ween all 'the nations
of thelVerld, there would be considerable fluctuation in
the produce of different countries in the same year,
and some even in the aggregate production of .different
years. But two causes would materially operate to
lessen the fluctuation itself, and still more its effect
upon prices. " Were 'the trade universally free, the
aggregate demand would be known ; and -would be
the more effectually provided for, because every
farmer would be sure of a market for an occasional
surplus. And this, which provides for a supposed ag-
gregate surplus, would also greatly modify the ill con-
sequences of a partial deficiency. It may be stated, in-
deed, as a statistical axiom, that the more wide the extent
of surface from which the produce is to be drawn,
the less will any fluctuations in its quantity be felt.
But the sliding-scale narrows and cuts dovfm the
extent of surface, embracing all Europe and America
in its range, to two islands at the antipodes of each
other. In so large a proportion, therefore, does it
exaggerate the otherwise slight and harmless effects
of an occasional badness of the seasons. The sliding
scale causes the fluctuation, by which the farmer is
the first to suffer. When the landowner, for whose
benefit alone it exists, at this cruel cost to his
immediate tenants and dependents, is asked to
interfere, his reply is—that it "depends on cir-
cumstances over which the landowner has no
control;" that so far as corn-rents may be of
service, he will concede that requirement when
the farmer has obtained a similar concession from
every one with whom he may possibly have
dealings! Really, since we hear so much about
" identity of interest," we shall be very glad to he in-
formed in what it consists. It is clear it does not con-
sist in concessions by the landlord. It does not con-
sist in giving the farmer the free use of his capital ; or
the labourer the free use of his hands ; it does not
consist in leaving to either the freedom of their con-
science ; it does not consist in the security of a lease,
or the equity of a cern-rent. In the utter absence of
information from those who most insist on it, and
therefore ought best to know, we can but come to one
conclusion : the " identity of interest" between the
farmer and the landlord, consists in the farmer strug•
gling to give, and the landowner taking, the highest
possible rent that can, by any manner of means, be
squeezed out of him.
STANDARD.—So long as agricultural meetings
promised to minister to the splenetic feelings of cer-
tain mock- Conservative opponents of the Government
—so long as they afforded opportunities to a few can-
kered and dissatisfied individuals to abuse Sir Robert
Peel and denounce his new tariff—they were re-
garded with peculiar favour by more than one of our
daily Contemporaries ; and an importance was at-
tached by them to the more objectionable portions of
their proceedings, which could not be said fairly to
belong to them. There is no public meeting con-
vened, for a purpose however laudable, whose
harmony may not be destroyed, and its use
fulness impaired, by some noisy and ill-conditioned
person, who may persist in throwing the apple of
political discord among his audience. To such dis-
sentients the untried tariff of Sir Robert Peel
afforded an apparently exhaustless theme; and the
benevolent and praiseworthy objects of agricultural
meetings were tolerated by their newspaper instiga-
tors solely for the sake of such demonstrations. It
was soon found, however, that the introduction of
political questions at such meetings was calculated
to impair, if not wholly destroy, that power for
the attainment of a common benefit, which nothing
but union can secure. The leading objects of agricul-
tural associations are, or ought to be, to promote
feelings of harmony and good will between the
landlord and tenant, and the tenant and his
servant ; to remind them of their mutual obliga-
tions ; and to supply a stimulus to industry, intelli-
gence, and good conduct to the latter; and to afford
occasions for the diffusion of agricultural science,
and the reciprocation of that most useful of all
knowledge, the practical knowledge derived from ac-
tual experience. 'These are objects with which party
politics can have nothing to do, and it has there-
fore been wisely decided that political topics should
be excluded, for the future, from such re-unions.
This resolution has proved highly distasteful to those
journalists who were in the habit of illustrating from
such displays their own cankered views of political
affairs ; but, most of all, to the pseudo-Conservative
opponents of the new tariff. They had hoped to reap
an abundant harvest of discontent from such
meetings, and their prophecies sometimes ful-
filled themselves. Since the declaration of Lord
Norreys, and the determination which has been
elsewhere exhibited to exclude political dis-
cussion from agricultural meetings, however, they
have fallen a hundred per cent. in the estimation of
this order of politicians, and have become, in their
estimation, either altogether useless or absolutely ridi-
culous. It is not surprising, therefore, that the pro-
ceedings of the South Derbyshire Agricultural Asso-
ciation should have excited in an extraordinary degree
the anger of these atrabilious gentlemen ; for although
one of them deals in grave regrets, and the other
in that cheapest of all munitions of political
warfare, ridicule, they both work in one team.
The conduct of Mr. Colvile, in congratulating his
audience on the banishment from agricultural meet-
ings of political discussions, would of itself have sub-
jected him to reproof on the one hand and sneers on
the other; bUt his explanation to the less correctly
informed of his audience, that the introduction
of American cheese into this country had
benefited the poorer classes, without dimi-
nishing in the slightest degree the profits of the Bri-
tish farmer, appears to have provoked the gravest
condemnation. Mr. Colvile showed how absurd and
premature were the complaints of the new tariff, by
proving that, although it was perfectly true that
American cheese had been imported in large quan-
tities, the effect had been simply to super-
sede the use of Dutch cheese—a commodity for
which an enormously larger price than its quality
warranted has heretofore been obtained. From
his statistics on the subject we may infer that,
instead of the importation of cheese laving increased
by reason of the new tariff, it has diminished during
the last ten years by nearly 32,000 cwt. ; whilst the
consumers of that commodity have been augmented
upwards of two millions! Thii is of course a " great
fact" on the wrong side ; but it is one which ought to
suggest to farmers the necessly for coshing themselves
acquainted with the general resu'ts of a measure of
which they profess to disappi ove, before they c omplain

The Dublin Evening Packet is the only thing in
the shape of a Ministerial organ at this side of the
water. It contained last night a long reply to the
Tory Opposition attacks on the -GerVernment. As this
article must have been suggested, at least, by the de-
feated and mortified state, prosecutors-at the Castle,
we extract the principal passages, as an index to the
present state of feeling in that quarter:77
" We seriously ask what would the hearty enemies
of Mr.'O'Connelre policy have Ministers to do ? As
for its friends; we shall suffer them to indulge' the
tempest of, their wrath ad iibitum but it would be
an act .of benevolence _to bring: back _to reason! these
opponents of the Government: who yet linger in the
once unanimous ranks of_ Conservatism. . Can these
unreasonably expect that the Piiinellinister should,
at this premature 'point,' publish to the world his
necessarily • undefined' arrangements 'for the final
prostration of repeal ? Ought he to convoke the
Commons, . supplicate. for. the aid and, condolence of
the Whig-Radical Mernhers,, and ,lay,,before Abe
Crouse' at -large humiliating and demonstra-
tion of all the ifs' and contingencies that must, in
the nature of things, be embodied in the detail of his
intentions ?

"Have O'Connell and his co-adjutors as yet, since
their liberation, so far committed themselves as to
justify active interference ? They have vapoured a
good deal to their rabble auditories, and expressed
great hopes of grand things, in order to sustain the
courage of their faction. They have projected this
assembly and that organisation as things that may be ;
but they are dealing in mere probabilities. All that
seems settled for the future is, that the contributions
are to be kept going, and that Mr. O'Connell is to
make his escape to his native hills, there
'Ducere sollicitx jucunda oblivia
and luxuriate on the recollection of the nodes ccenaeque
of the martyr's dungeon.
" The Evening Mail kindly points out to the Go-
vernment the course they ought to pursue in attempt-
ing the tranquillisation of Ireland. 'What remains,'
it indignantly asks, but to arrest the progress of se-
dition by all the means, ordinary and extraordinary,
with which the constitution, provident of extremities,
arms the Executive ?"ihe plain English of which
appears to be, that the Conciliation Hall should be
surrounded with military—men's passions inflamed by
sudden and unlooked-for evidence—perhaps the
Habeas Corpus Act suspended, and the country
brought under the sanguinary and irresponsible in-
fluence of martial-law. The days have gone by when
this headstrong, bungling, neck-or-nothing sort of
pacification could be tolerated amongst civilised States.
However violent in their acts, and however unconsti-
tutional in their principles, our opponents may be,
they are still men, and, as such, are not wholly des•
titute of reason. Christianity as well as prudence
suggests that the means resorted to for bringing
them back to a sense of their duty ought to be or the
ordinary' kind. If such should utterly fail, then,
and only then, could a Ministry be justified in pro-
ceeding to extremities by authorising the use of the
extraordinary.'
" The same ordinary means' which have been so
successfully employed still exist. When the plans of
Mr. O'Connell shall have been more fully defined,
what could be more easy than to include in a second
indictment all the petty tributaries to the great stream
of sedition which were not embodied in the last?
These would of course all meet the same fate as the
monster meetings and the arbitration courts, without
a drop of blood being shed.
" Because Ministers are silent on this subject, we
are not to conclude that they are either uninterested
or inactive. Although Sir Robert Peel is not explain-
ing on the floor of the House of Commons, or through
the press, his plan of future operations, we must not
suppose that, even amid necessary relaxation and do-
mestic affliction, he has not been anxiously deliberat-
ing on the proper course to pursue in the event of
certain expected movements of the enemy taking
place. Whatever other course may possibly be con-
templated, still the one which has been tried remains
for us an almost certain resource. The occurrences
of the past, and particularly that unfortunate one
which disappointed justice of her rights, will serve to
make every functionary of the Crown, engaged in the
proceedings, ten times more vigilant, more cautious,
and more silent. One escape may have been possible,
but another it would be madness to hope for.'

CLONMEL ADDRESS TO MR. O'CONNELL—
TORY POLICY.
At two o'clock yesterday the Mayor of Clonmel
accompanied by Alderman Bianconi (whose success-
ful enterprise has so greatly promoted internal com-
munication in Ireland), attended at Mr. O'Connell's
residence in Aferrion-square, to present him with a
congratulatory address from the burgesses of that
town.

The Mayor read the address, which contained the
following passage :—" Whilst we offer you our
cordial gratulations on the signal triumph which you
have just achieved over the knaves and tyrants of our
country, we beg to accompany them with the expres-
sion of our firm and unchangeable determination to
stand by you and support you in the noble efforts
you are making for her happiness and regeneration."
Mr. O'CONNELL, in reply to the address said:—
Worshipful Mayor, and Alderman Bianconi, the
praise which you bestow upon me is indeed precious,
coming as it does from a people so independent, so
full of genuine patriotism as the men of Clonmel.
You do well, Mr. Mayor, to censure the proceedings
which have taken place on the late trial, because our
great object now is to bring forward addresses re 7
fleeting the public sentiment, and proclaiming the
national determination, in order that we may succeed
in removing and scattering the Ministry, and punish-
ing its minions. Yes, I repeat it—one of the most
important considerations to the Irish people at pre-
sent, is that of the impeachment. We know not
what measures may be taken to allure us from this
subject; but our course is plain, we will be tranquil
and quiet—yet most persevering on this point. We
will be unawed by fear and uninfluenced by
doubt, and will continue our efforts with an uncle-
. viating consistency until we be amply and fully
satisfied for the wrong committed. To that end
I shall devote whatever energies I may possess—
whatever remnant of intellect may still be mine—Ell
the resources of my professional experience, and all
my hopes of co-operation from the English people.
Our determination to demand the punishtnent of
those who have violated every principle of law and
justice, in our regard, may bring down .upon us the
vengeance of the Minister; but if we pursue a peace-
able course of seeking for redress, my own opinion
is, that no Minister ever created in England could
bear the brunt of the united demands of a nation in
a just and honest cause. You will inform the
people of Clonmel, that our hopes are high, and our
expectations vivid—that there will be no compromise
as there has been hitherto 110 shrinking ; but' the
principle of legislation in Ireland by Irishmen 'iii-
whatever form worked out, is worthy of considera-;
tion. If worked out to satisfaction by federaFsm,
am ready to adopt it; but unless I be convinced
of this, there shall be, I repeat, no compromise, no
surrender of principle on our part. To you, as my

LORD DB Roos.—The korthern Whig says :
" It is with much satisfaction we learn, from a cor-
respondent, that Lord de Roos has recently made a
considerable reduction in the rents of his property at
Bonecastle, near Downpatrick. His lands in that
townland are now let at from 245. to 28s. the Irish
acre, apparently a very moderate rent, for soil of so
good a quality. Lord de Roos is at present resident
in Strangford ; and, by precept and action, sets an
excellent example to be imitated by other Irish
northern landlords. We hope it will not be lost on
them. The tenants' interests and theirs are identical."
The general area of the city of Dublin, acoording

DERBY CLUBS.--The question as to the legality of
Derby clubs, which has occupied so much the attention
of tavern-keepers and the sporting portion of the public,
has lately been submitted to Mr. E. James, the eminent
barrister, for his consideration, and that 'gentleman has
given it as his decided opinion that such clubs are illegal,
and that persons in any way connected with them aro
liable to be proceeded against for heavy penalties. The
Act upon which the Learned Counsel has grounded his
opinion is the 10th and 11th William 111., c. 17, which is
still in force, and intituled " An Act for the Suppression
of Lotteries."

the principal actors at Drnry-lane in the season of 1802-
3, with the amounts of their various weekly salaries,
which we have copied from the most authentic record,
and which we subjoin fur the sake of comparison. It is
to be observed, that it was in this season that John
Philip Kemble and Mrs. Siddons retired from Drury,
lane; in the next . season they went over to Covent•
garden, in which theatre J. P. Kemble had purchased
shares. Bannister had been appointed manager of

nominally at the head of the establishment, Richard
Wilson, who filled the office of treasurer, and Tom.
