MURDER OF -MR. "UNIX.
DEC. 3.—Another murder has just.taken place in
'Tipperary, of Michael Hanky, of Greenhall, who was
shot in the abdomen irr his own house, and, died in a
:'ew hours after. The case is so complete in all its parts
As an illustration of Tipperaiy_Thuggery, that we give

day: • • '

" On Wednesday 'deaf between the hours of six
and seven o'clock, a middle-sized stout-looking man,
wrapped in a whitish frieZe riding coat, came. to the
house of Michael Manly, .of Greenhall, and asked
the way to a neighbouring townland. Manly and
his wife were sitting at the fire, and the latter said
she did not know where it was ; but the husband
stood up and approached the door, when the strange
man advanced a few paces, presented a gun, and hav-
ing ordered him to stand back, discharged its contents
at him, exclaiming at-the saixie time, with a growl of
fiendish exultation, " Taka that." thinly staggered
to the fire, and fell to the'ground, crying that he was
killed. The man stool at the door, watching the mo-
tions of his victim before he departed. The wife
rushed out distracted to a house that was within a
hundred yards of her, crying for help; but when she
came near it was so assailed with stones that she was
obliged to retire. She then ran to a relative's house,
which was at a much greater distance. When she re-
turned she found her husband
,in a most appalling
condition ; three balls hattentgred_ the lower part of
his belly, and from one orthe wounds his intestines
were protruding. lie lingered in a state of most ex-
cruciating torture, calling out at times for a knife to
cut away his belly entirely, until one o'clock yes-
terday morning, when death terminated his sufferings.
There is no clue to his murderer, neither is there any
I ikelihood of it, for the night was exceedingly dark,
and the house situated at a distance from the road.
thinly met his dreadful fate on account of land which
he took from Mr. White, of Greenhall, and from
which some refractory tenants had been ejected.
About six months ago the tongue was cut out
of a horse belonging to him, and the obser-
vation which fell from the lips of one of the
sympathisers, in the hearing of a policeman, was,
we understand, that "it was a pity that it was not
out of himself it had been cut.' At a more recent

period a large party of men came at night into his
potatoe field, and pulled up the stalks, and trampled
so on them as to render them useless to him. For
this outrage he put in a presentment at the last road
sessions Of Newport for 15/., which was granted.
On the afternoon of Friday an inquest was held on
the body, but nothing was elicited beyond what we
have already stated, w►th the exception that there was
a guard placed on the house to which the distracted
wife ran fur assistance. The owner of it, Michael
Ryan, &posed that two shots were fired at the door in
about fifteen minuted after the discharge of the one
that proved fatal to llanly."

The show of prize cattle for the present year pro-
mises to exceed, both in number and quality, that of
any preceding exhibition. The arrangement of the
various animals into classes was completed at a late
hour yesterday afternoon, under the superintendence
of Mr. Gibbs, the Secretary. The Judges were to
assemble at the Horse Bazaar at an early hour this
morning:, and immediately proceed to award prizes to
the successful competitors, the public exhibition com-
mencing t)-morrow. The Earl of Warwick, Lord
Spencer, and the Duke of Richmond are among the
Nobility who have contributed specimens, while the
ran&e of exhibitors in the middle class of farmers in-
cludes several names not-previously familiar as breeders
of stock. Mr. "Woodward, of Bredens Norton, Wor-
cestersbehriree,d. sends The

of Friskeny, Lincolnshire, has the merit of contribut-
ing the largest ox this year. It is of the Lincoln-
shire short-horn breed, five years and six months old,
and has a most colossal appearance even among the
noble animals by which it is surrounded. The Earl
of Warwick has a very fine ox in Class 1. This
animal was bred on his Lordships estate at AVarwick
Castle, and is considered one of the finest in the exhi-
bition. .It was fed on hay and turnips. A beautiful
milk-white ox, aged three years and four months,
fed by Mr. Crisp, of Gedgriff Hall, near Orford, Nor-
folk, is also very much admired. The exhibition in-
cludes many Scotch oxen, fed in England; and Mr.
Elliott, of East Ham, contributes a very extraordi-
nary animal of the Highland breed, not, it is be-
lieved, in the hope of securing a prize, but as a lulus
naturee. The animal alluded to is a heifer, five years
old, and only 29 inches high; it is in excellent condi-
tion, and although somewhat dwarfish in appearance,
bears no mark of defortnity. The exhibition of sheep
and pigs includes some very remarkable specimens,
and the arrangements for the`comfort of visitors have
never before been made in so perfect a manner.

A Chartist meeting took place yesterday evening
(Sunday) in the Old Bailey, when a resolution was
moved to the effect that 10,000 small hand-bills should
be printed, giving notice to the persons amongst whom
they were distributed where the Chartist meetings
were held, that the public might be forthwith informed
of its miserable condition, and instructed how to make

it a happy one; also that there should be prepared, at
the same time, 2,000 little boards, bordered with
flowers, and of coloured paper, to hang up in public
houses with the same intent. Owing to lack of funds,
an amendment was moved that the number of bills
should be reduced to 5,000, and the boards to 500 ;
when a division took place, and the question Is to be
discussed next Sunday.
This being the first Monday in December, the
Congress of the United States meet to-day at
Washington. The message of the President will be
transmitted to-morrow. Copes of it will be received
by the packet-ship Independence, which may be ex-
pected to arrive at this port about the 27th instant.—

SUGAR DUTIES.
The Jamaica papers give the proceedings at
the opening of the Legislative Assembly, on
the 25th of October. Petitions had been pre-
sented to the Assembly from the parishes of St.
David's and Westmoreland against the present heavy
burdens ; and it was supposed that the tax upon real
estate would be considerably reduced. The Gover-
nor bears testimony to the tranquil state of the colony,
and it is allowed that the complaints about the want
of labour had gradually subsided. The most impor-
tant statement, however, is that, owing to the large
increase in the exports of the staples this year, and
the anticipation of still further increase in the amount
of the coming crops, that the agriculturists of Ja-
maica are willing that the Government should deal
with the sugar duties, merely securing a certain
amount of protection. This statement is made in
the Morning Journal of the 3d November, with an
addendum, that the question was expected to form
the subject of discussion in the Assembly, and that if
the debate should should take place the result would be
published in a separate column, under the head " Bu-
siness of the House." On referring to that head of
our Contemporary, we find " the appointment of a
Committee to memorialise the Queen not to give her
sanction to the admission of foreign sugar to the home
consumption, without establishing such a differential
duty as will give due protection and encouragement
to the sugar growers of the British Wrest India colo-
nies." That Committee was appointed in consequence
of a message sent down by the Governor from Lord
Stanley, in which the Secretary of State says that—
" In abstaining from proposing any alteration in the
sugar duties, her Majesty's Government have been
mainly influenced by the present circumstances of the
West Indies, in reference to the recent abolition of
slavery, and by the apprehension lest by stimulating the
production of sugar in countries in which slavery conti-
nues to exist, the evils of slavery in those countries should
be aggravated, and the trade in slaves encouraged."
On this message the Morning Journal remarks :
" Here we may be permitted to inquire how far it
may be proper to meet the views of the Government
by demanding not the continuance of the present dis-
criminating duties, but the imposition of such a duty
on foreign sugar as will afford us fair protection."
There is evidently a disposition to yield the ground
hitherto occupied in this respect, and to take up a new
position. Mr. Thomson's motion will bring this mat-
ter under discussion in the House, and determine the
course that will be pursued on this important point.
"It is a question which materially affects the agri-
culturists, and they are called upon to give it mature
consideration. This movement in our Legislature
vill be xegarded with interest in the mother country,
and the Government will perceive that the disposition
exists to meet their views, in so far as it is practi-
cable to do so."
The origin of all this movement is the dispatch of
Lord Stanley of the 28th of May, in answer to an
address from the House of Assembly to the Queen,
against the admission of foreign sugar into the
mother country. Aftdr stating that he had laid this
address before her Majesty, his Lordship adds—" I
have to request that your Lordship (Lord Elgin)
would direct the attention of the Assembly to the
tariff now under the consideration of Parliament, so
far as relates to the important articles- of sugar and
coffee, and that you would point out to them that her
Majesty, although desirous of relieving the labouring
classes of her subj ects, by a material reduction of the
duties on coffee, has not disregarded the interests of
the colonial planter." His Lordship then states that
" although the duty on foreign coffee is proposed to
be lowered to Bd. per lb., yet this rate of duty will
give to colonial coffee a larger protection than is af-
forded by the existing law." Then follows the para-
graph above quoted, explanatory of the reasons which
bad hitherto induced her Majesty's Government to
abstain from proposing any alteration in the sugar duties.
So "now the murder is out, and the West India
;planters are preparing to set their house in order with
becoming grace and resignation. This dispatch of my
Lord Stanle✓y to the Governor of Jamaica is a fit
fellow to his dispatch of the 2d of March last, to Sir
Charles_Bagot. The latter was preparatory to the
introduction of a measure which would admit corn
into British ports from the United States, via Canada,
at a maximum duty of .ss. per quarter, and the
former is to . herald the introduction of another
measure for removing the prohibitory duties now
levied on the sugars of Brazil and Cuba, and ad-
mitting them for home consumption in the Mother
country. These are all encouraging prognostics to
the friends of free trade ; but it is for those who
voted against the reduction of the Sugar Duties
proposed last session by Mr. Labouchere (a reduction
in favour both of foreign and plantation sugars), to
square their conscience so as to support the coming
Bill to alter the said duties, in accordance with the
new light that has dawned upon the views of the
West India agriculturists. If the admission of fo-

In every one thing they do the present Government
steal more or less from their predecessors whom they
drove from office. The only sweetener they have for
in
their change of opinion regard to sugar is the hope
of some promises being extracted from Brazil regard-
ing the amelioration of their slaves by the mission of
Sir Henry or Mr. Ellis. It is stated, indeed, that
the new scale of duties has been agreed upon with
Brazil. To crown all, Lord Stanley avows himself

to Lord Elgin, of date the 30th of July last, the
Secretary of State for the Colonies makes the fol-
lowing bold ministerial avowal in favour of free
trade :

TRADE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND

CHINA.

As whatever may tend to throw light on the direc-
tion taken hitherto by the foreign commerce of China
cannot fail to possess additional interest under:actual
circumstances, the following statement of the trade
carried on with Russia, derived from official sources
and not before published, to the latter date at least,
may be acceptable to commercial and statistical readers.
It is generally taken for granted that the whole of the
commercial transactions between Russia and China
are operated at the great annual gathering of the
merchants and dealers of the two nations at Kiakta
at the southern central extremity of the government
of Irkoutek, part of what is officially termed the
kingdom of Siberia, and confining with the Chinese
frontiers and vast wastes of Mongolia. It will be
found, however, that a traffic of growing, though at
present of no great extent, has gradually been
established, however indirectly, along other parts of
the Siberian line, and by sea in the ports
.of Southern Russia. According to ancient and
special compact between the two empires, 'however,
the traffic, which is strictly limited by conditions to
one of simple barter, or mutual interchange of com-
modities, from the liquidation or facilitating of which
all monetary agency, whether of gold, silver, or
paper instruments of value are carefully excluded on
each side, should be strictly limited to Kiakta. Thus
the singular spectacle is presented of a trade by pure
barter, so that whatever increase or diminution of de-
mand exists on the one side must necessarily be
balanced, as nearly as possible by a corresponding
movement on the other, so far as the authorised in.
tercourse of that particular and privileged spot. It
will be perceived that the exchange imports from
.China consist almost wholly of tea. The total values
of exports and imports by way of Kiakta are thus
given in official documents for the two years 1839
1840 respectively :

Exports by way of Kiakta Silver Roubles.
into China 9,269,416 2,287,222
Imports into, from China .2,474,422 2,493,669
For the better intelligence of the Russian values
referred to, it may be added that the silver rouble is
equal to 37d. sterling, and the Russian pood to 361bs.
avoirdupois as generally calculated, although in
reality nearly li ounce over.
A large proportion of the export exchanges of
Russia consists of furs and skins, partly the produce of
Russia herself; and partly derived from the traffic
with the Nomadic tribes of the steppes on the fron-
tiers of the Governments of Orenburg and Siberia.
The quantities and value of Russian manufactured
goods which enter into the total amount of these ex-
ports, and the nature of which will be of more in-
terest here, are thus given :
