UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
-8, Waterlos-place, Pall-mall, London.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in
the great success which has attended it, since it commence-
ment in 1534.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows:
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.
£1,000... 6 Year! 10 Months £136 13 4

Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
A'suranre Fund inve,ted in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
pstible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for ebts
or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay
is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus
Office will be found particularly favourable to the Assured.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1. King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders;
three-fourths to the former, and one •fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place ou the loth of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. nas declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared. . .

The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society:—

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk
of life dur;ng residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,
DAVID JONES, Actuary.

• immediate causes of this sudden attack, this meeting
find no difficulty in deciding that the remote, all-
powerful, and all-producing cause, has been class le-
gislation, which, by promoting class interest at the ex-
pense of the general interest, has at length produced
such extensive exhaustion of the resonrces •of •the
whole body, that general pressure has produced gene-
ral distress. Class is set against class, and man
against man, by the sectional and individual endea-
vour Lo escape from the general distress." He per-
fectly coincided with everything contained in that re-
solution. He knew that the evils of the country were
attributable to class legislation and to that . alone.—
(Loud cheers.) .That was no new opinion or his—
it was no new opinion of the meeting; and he
had long warned the Government that their
system of legislating for exclusive interests would
produce what had now unhappily occurred.—(Cheers.)
He was certain that that system could not long resist
the enlightened efforts of the people to remove it.—
(Cheers.) They however must remember that their
enemies were abroad—(Hear, hear)—and that they
would rejoice in nothing more than that the people
should be exasperated into acts of violence; and
their cause was to be gained by exhibiting such a front
as he now was happy to see before him—(Cheers)—
and by peace, firmness, perseverance, and order.—
(Hear, hear.) Let there be no midnight meetings—
(Hear). Let their meetings be in the face of, day ; for
truth had nothing to fear, and the cause of truth was
sure of success, when it was advocated by honest, tem-
perate, and zealous men.—(Hear.) The present
system of class legislation could not be maintained
otherwise than by the. people
_giving to the present
Government that power of employing military col
ercion forwhich they were watching. He hoped the
effectors throughoiit 114'0*m—would ,do us the
electors of Finsbury had done that evening, and give
their fellow-countrymen an opportunity of expressing
their opinions,
.and making known their, wants, and
their wrongs, in a calm, peaceable, and dispassionate
mariner. Before he concluded, he would entreat the
middle classes, and those-who possessed the franchise,
to remember that a great number of their fellow-
countrymen were in prison, and that with respect to
those, they. would be called upon to discharge a duty,
which he hoped they would discharge in a reasonable,
just, and becoming spirit.--(Loud cheers) Whilst he
would urge them most earnestly never to cease in
their legal and peaceable endeavours until the_ people
were represented ; at the, same time, he hoped,
nay, he had every confidence that they would not
give their enemies any justification for calling them
cowards on the one hand, or ruffians on the other.—
(Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution
he had read.
Mr. FISHER seconded the resolution in a brief
speech.
The CHAIRMAN said that several gentlemen were
desirous to addrdss the meeting, but as he knew they
were all impatient to hear their worthy and approved
Representative, he recommended that the movers and
seconders of the other resolutions should content'them-
selves with barely performing that duty, without ad-
ding many observations of their own.—(Hear, hear,
and great laughter.)
The resolution was then put and carried by accla-
mation. •

Mr. WEST then moved, and Mr. FINCH seconded,
the third resolution, which was to the following ef-
fect :—" That this meeting haye,*no hope of remedy
in the measures hitherto pursued. We see no hope
of peace in the poor destroying factories, or the resi-
dences of the rich, because the owners give no greater
wages than the demands of class legislation leave it in
their power to give; nor do we see any hope of peace
in the rich coercing the poor because they endeavour
to avoid starvation. These only tend to aggravate
evils which can only be remedied by the removal of
class legislation, and therefore we recommend that a
petition founded on these resolutions be presented to
the Queen, praying that her Majesty be graciously
pleased to convene the Parliament, and take means of
securing to the people such a representation as will
be in conformity- with the prayers of the petitions
presented to the House of Commons last session, and
which petitions were signed by millions of her Ma-
jesty's loyal subjects."
The resolution having been put, several hands
were held up against it, amidst vehement cries of
" No more petition—we have had enough of that." It
was carried, however, by a majority of many thousands
to about twenty.

The next resolution, to the effect, that the Chair-
man should sign the petition on behalf of the meeting,
and that the Members for the Borough should be re-
quested to present it to her Majesty, was carried
unanimously.
Mr. SAVAGE then came forward to move a resolu-
tion, to the effect, that the thanks of the meeting be
tendered to their excellent representative, Mr. Thos
Duncombe—(Most vehement cheering)—for his in-
defatigable perseverance in the cause of popular
liberty, and his readiness at all times to respond to
the call of-his constituents.—(Cheers.) In proposing
that resolution, he must observe' =that he had not
voted for Mr. Dpncombe, but had always given his
utmost labour to secure the return of their other re-
presentative.—(Some disapprobation, and cries of
" Where is he now ?" followed by laughter.) But
whenever he (Mr. Savage) had gone to apply
to Mr. Duncombe for anything likely to serve
the cause of the people in Parliament, he found
that that gentleman was entitled to the gratitude of
his . constituents, and he regretted that he did not
know Mr. Duncombe's merits when he was first a
candidate for the representation of Finsbury.

lelse, to look to, their tenants, whom they might find
against their expectations, they could not bully in vain.
—(Cheers;) For- this admonition he had received
groans, such as generally follow a home truth in the
House of Commons, but had no effect upon him,—
(Loud cheers.) But scarcely had the tones of
the Queen's voice died upon the ear of those who
heard her read the speech—scarcely had the ink,
with which it wiS printed, dried on the paper, when
a proclamation was issued, declaring that the whole
of the North of England was in a state of insurrec-
tion.—(Hear, hear.) Why, if Parliament were sit •
tiug they ought to be impeached, although they felt
so secure in their venal, corrupt, and packed majority,
that they would laugh at impeachment.—(hear.) He
hoped that the example of Finsbury would be followed
all over the country. The course proposed by the re-
solutions was a most legitimate one—to address the
Queen ; and, if invariably adopted, it might succeed.
If it did not, and the winter were allowed to
come upon the manufacturing population .in all
the misery which threatened them, bayonets and
bludgeons might silence the complaints of suffering
for the time, but they would neither terminate the
discontent of the people nor the dangers of the State.
—(Cheers) The resolutions hit the right nail on the
head, when they struck at class legislation, the foun•
tain-head of. all evil which the• country suffered.
Until every man 'of mature age had a voice in the
legislation, there would be no protection for the in- 1
terests of the people, and no security for the property '
of the rich.—(Hear, hear.) He would have great
satisfaction in conveying the petition of that meeting
as mil- to the throne as he could approach it. He
would not insult so enlightened a meeting, by recom-
mending that they should retire peacealy to their
-loons,-tor their ,sentiments and conduct, this even-
ing, showed that they were men who knew- the dig-
nity of their character, and were able to estimate the
importance of an assembly like that.—He concluded
amidst repeated and most vehement cheering.
The CHAIRMAN then declared the business of the
evening concluded, and the meeting dissolved. Upon
his leaving the chair, there were loud cries for Mr.
F. O'Connor.

. T. RICHAitDSON,

Mr. O'CONNOR then canie-lbrward amidst loud
cheers, and said, he had attended that meeting at the
request of 'his very- excellent friend Mr. Duncombe,
and several of the electors of Finsbury.—(Loud
cheers.) He hoped they would' follow the advice
which his excellent friend had offered them. He
wished that advice had always been taken.—(Cheers.)
He begged of them not to expose their naked bodies
to an armed soldiery. Let them wait for their points
till they had 3,500,000 determined moral force
men.—(Cheers.) The Government might stop them
just now, but it would not stop them long.—(Cheers.)
He had heard all the resolutions which passed with
the greatest pleasure ; but the last, that was the
gem, because it plainly told them that without the
Charter it would be impossible for the manufacturers
to give wages to their men.—(Loud cheers.) It was
the Charter they required.—(Cheers.) He (Mr.
O'Connor) saw danger now before him. They were
looking for him; but he still remained, and would
remain, firmly at his post ; and for the benefit of one
party, he would not consent to join any, till they
gave him the Charter.—(Cheers.) He found now
that there was no law to control the police, for Sir J.
Graham had made them not only cowtables but
judges of the law.—(Loud cheers.) What was the
good, then, of their physical force ? The Govern-
ment cared not for their pigmy physical force, when
it could tax them all, and raise up a physical force to
itself to master theirs. It was glorious fun for them
to knock a poor man down. The man who struck
them, thought it as fine a piece of fun as shoot-
ing at grouse • and there was not a bludgeon-man
last night, who struck down his man, but was as
pleased as the young squire when he bagged his
grouse.—(Loud cheers.) But they could not sup-
press public opinion, and though the Whig press
might tell the people not to trust Feargus O'Connor—
that he was a demagogue, a hypocrite, and a rascal—
yet he would say that he believed he stood as well
with the people as any man in England—(lmmense
cheering)—and he believed his excellent friend, Mr.
Duncombe, held as high a place in their affections.—
(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Duncombe) had 'come be-
fore them, and he had heard their cheers at
his approach, and how proud must he not be
at the forest of true English hands held up as the me-
mori tl of their approbation, which had that night been
conveyed to him. He (Mr. O'Connor) had watched
him well. He had found him honest to the back, and
he would say that he hoped his friend would " leaven
the whole."—(Loud cheers.) I'Pith regard to the
disturbances in the North he would say that the
'working men had nothing whatever to do with them,
neither had the Chartists ' • and in proof of this
he might tell them that the Delegates from the
trades had now dissolved their sittings, with the
determination to meet again when the country was
in a fitter state to understand their motives. Now,
he knew that he was in danger, and if he stood on a
precipice, he thanked God that their cause rested on
a sure foundation.—(Cheers.) For if every leader's
head were taken off, they would spring up like
poppies, and for every five that was killed, a hundred
would be found to supply their places.—(Cheers.)
He had now said his say—(Cries of" No, go on ")
and he thanked his friends for the hearing they had given
hini. Many thought, perhaps, that he had come there
to disturb all the good that they had done ; not so—
he had come to support and assist them, and to ad-
vise them not to adopt physical force, for they might
depend upon it that the Government wished first to
fill their gaols with prisoners, and then that every
Judge were a Jeffreys, and that the Jury were twelve
ruthless butchers.—(Cheers.) Let them adopt peace-
able measures, and as he must say one word about
old Paddy, he would tell them that Paddy
was a fine fellow, and that he would lend
them his support; but let them take care
that the same Bill which the Government had
passed for Ireland they did not pass for England.
Before he sat down, he would just implore the shop-
keepers to consider that their interests were identical
with the interests of the people. An ill-paidp_opulace
made an empty till on a Saturday night. He knew
that—(Hear)—and a well-paid populace made a full
one.—(Hear.) Let the shopkeepers, then, and the
people unite ; there would be an end to Whig and
Tory for ever, and truth and justice would prevail,
borne upon the six points of the Charter.—(Loud
cheers.) He had now finished ; he begged the meet-
ing to disperse quietly, and to enter into no col-
lision with the police or the authorities, for they were
there.

Mr. STALYBRIDGE seconded the resolution, which
was carried unanimously, and amidst deafening and '
long-continued cheering from the assembled multi- '
tude, whose numbers (densely packed) at this time
were scarcely less than nine, orperhaps ten, thousand.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE having come forward to ac-
knowledge the compliment, was greeted by a burst of
the most enthusiastic cheering and applause, which
lasted several minutes. He was one of those (he said)
who always considered, since he had the honour to
sit in Parliament as a representative of the people,
that it was his duty first to attend to the interest of
the people in his place in Parliament—andhow he
had performed that duty he was happy to be able to .
judge by the kind and flattering manner in which the
meeting had received the resolution which had just
been passed.—(Renewed cheers.) But there was an-
other duty . which at all times it gave him the great-
est satisfaction to perform—and never more so than
on the present occasion—it was the duty of meeting
his constituents—he could not say now in the "light
of day "—(Laughter—it was quite dark)—but of
meeting " face to face" those who sent him to Parli a-
ment.—(Cheers.) He had the honour of meeting
them on this occasion, in a great and portentous
crisis of the country.—(Hear.) It was said, that
for the value of a Government and the character of
its administration, they should look to the condition
of the people.—(Hear, hear.) If the character of the
present Government was to be estimated by that test,
he would say, look to the condition of the millions.—
(Cheers.) It was certainly but a few days since—
only on the 12th of the present month—when her
Majesty went down to dissolve the Parliament, and
delivered a speech, of which he would say, that of all
the speeches—of all the sentences—(Laughter and
groans)—ever put into a Sovereign's mouth, the speech
which the present Cabinet had the presumption to put
into the mouth of her Most Gracious Majesty the
Queen, was unrivalled for falsehood, hypocrisy, and
cruelty, in the Parliamentary annals of this country.
--(Loud cries of "True, true," and" Shame shame.")
Now, what had her. Majesty been made to say by her
present Ministers ? The very first sentence was, that
' the " state of public business enabled her to release
the Members of Parliament from their duties, which
they had discharged, in a manner that reflected het
greatest credit on themselves."—(Laughter.) He
only wondered why the speech did not add : " and
most satisfactory to the people."—(Renewed laugh-
ter.) He asked iniwhat way had the Members of
the House of Commons reflected credit on themselves,
by their conduct as representatives of the people?--
(year, bear.) By contempt for the petitions of the
people—indifference to their sufferings,—and perse- i
vering a relentless class legislation.—(Cheers.)
This was the way in which that - assembly was
occupied during the . session, at the ' end of
which they were told, that they had nobly
and satisfactorily discharged their arduous •
duties—(A laugh)—and what state of the country
had their labours brought about ?—(Hear, hear.)
• now often had Ministers been warned in the House
' by him and - others, that what had exactly happened
would oorne to pass if they persisted in turning a deaf
ear to the :complaints of the suffering people ? How
often had they been told that if they persevered in
their iniquitious and nefarious course, the social frame
of the community would be dissolved, and 'the peace
of the countrywould not be worth 48 hours' purchase?
llChad told them that they shouid enforce a call
of the House, and bring the Members back to their
places, for the purpose of considering what could be
done .for the starving people.—(Hear.) But some
had grouse, some, pheasants, and some partridges to
lookto— and he reminded them that they had something

Mr. O'Connor resumed his seat amid the most
deafening applause, and the meeting then separated as
quietly and as orderly as if there had been no more
than twenty persons present. A few policeinen were
stationed at the doors,_ and a few at the point where
Penton-street joins the New-road, but there was no
necessity even for them.. The most quiet, orderly dis-
position, marked the proceedings from the commence-
ment of the meeting till its adjournment, and till the
immense assemblage became lost, one by one, in the
numerous streets of the metropolis.

THE ORIGIN OF THE TURN-OUT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—We find in your paper of the 19th ult. a let-
tcr,of Messrs. Bayley, of Staleybridge, which letter
you state to have been addressed to one of the local
papers. Now, as this letter of 'William Bayley and
Brothers, and other -letters of a like description have
gone the round of the public press, and as the inhabi-
tants of Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge know
the real facts of the case, so they know this letter of
Messrs.: Bayley to be a base fabrication as 'to the real
truth of the matter, and written expressly for the pur-
pose of misleading the public.
William Bayley and Brothers state in their letter
that they only offered a reduction of one halfpenny
per piece, which was only one half the reduction
which had been made by others, and this reduction,
they state, they offered, because they Pound they were
paying higher wages than others for similar descrip-
tions of cloth. Now any candid reader may see that
William Bayley and brothers are disguising the
" real truth of the case ;" otherwi§e they would have
given the exact price they paid per piece for different
kinds of cloth, and the price other masters paid per
piece for similar kinds of cloth, as we did in the Man-
chester and Salford Advertiser of the 16th instant.
We will here give a specimen of prices paid by three
different masters, before the present reduction was of.
fered by Bayley's firm, by which your readers may
form their own opinion :—Paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72
reed, 27 inches, 29 yards, 76 picks, 11 id. per piece ;
paid by Messrs. Raynor, 72 reed, 27 inches, 29 yards,
76 picks, 1144. per piece; paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72
reed, 36 inches, 88 picks, 124 d. per piece ; paid
by Messrs. Bayley and Brothers, 72 reed, 36
inches, ' 88 picks, 12d. per piece. Thus you
see that Messrs. Bayley commenced a new reduction
of wages of one halfpenny per piece, according to
their own statement, as to the amount of the reduc-
\
tion, when, at the same time, paying one farthing per
piece less.thai other masters, as set forth in the above

TUMULT AT CARLISLE.
•
CARLISLE, AUGUST 22, -1842.—F0r some days
.139.44,
the Chartist part of the working population of flit
city have been mtt state of considerable agitatipn.
and most anxious to take part in the movement going.
on in Lancashire and Yorkshire. They have hO
nightly meetings in Calden-gate—a suburb in whit
the greater portion of them reside—since Honda
last, at which extracts from The Sun and other pal
•have been read, descriptive of the agitation in the die -
turbed districts. The question of a strike was mooted
on Saturday night and last night ; but those ungo-
•quainted with the movements behind the curtain,
imagined that all idea of joining in the turn-out had
been abandoned—especially from the speeches of last
night. This, however, was not the intentiot-
of the leaders ; and this morning, three o 0
of four of the cotton mills turned ou
partly by coercion, and partly voluntarily,
the principal movers being the hand-loom weavers.
In the course of the morning a large body of the turn-
outs went to Dalston, a village about five miles dis-
tant, where there are two cotton and one flax mill,
and compelled the hands to turn out.
At an early hour this morning the Magistrates met
in the Town-hall, and issued a caution similar to
those which have been published by other Magistrates.
They then despatched. .a messenger to Lieutenant-
Colonel Ibsen, Dalemain, requesting him to forward
the troops of. Cumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, under
his command, and they are expected to be here within
an hour. Special constables were sworn in, and every
precaution taken to meet any tumult that might occur.
At this thne (five o'clock; r.m.) all is quiet.

THE MEETING ON KitNNINGTON
COMMON.
TO THE EDITOR OF Tag SUN.
you permit me, as an eye-witness, to
make a few observations on the great meeting held
on Kennington-common yesterday evening. I was
addressing the assembled people when the ferocious
attack by the armed and mounted police was made.
Nothing could be more peaceful and quiet than this
In order not, to.obstruct the. footpath the
people.)tad withdrawn to the farthest end of the
; every precaution had been taken to prio-
aetve the peace ; and, in the face of this, and in defi-
ance of all law (for I maintain there never was a
meeting more legally called or conducted), an armed
force brutally attacked the men assembled to discuss
their grievances. Good God! shall the last vestige of
liberty in England be thus torn away ? Can we not
express publicly our sentiments without fear of
an armed Government force. The Chairman con-.
sidered it his duty to order way to be made for these
valiant horsemen to advance towards the place where
the speakers stood, and this gave the opportunity of
immediately commencing the sanguinary attack.
Directly a way was opened, instead of dismissing the
people quietly, if there was any right to dismiss them
existing, or demanding of those presiding to do so, or
uttering a single syllable in explanation, the -police
&Shed their horses amongst the crowd, and began
the violent outrage that followed. They have stimu-
lated feelings of revenge, and disgusted all classes,
and the men of London, doubtless will, as declared
on the Common yesterday, no longer assemble in
defenceless groups, but armed, for the protection o 1
their lives from the blows of sabres and. truncheons.
The front ranks of the people were firm
and unshaken vesterday ; they were exhorted
to remain so, and they gave three cheers for the
Charter. , I hesitate not to assert, that hadit not been
for the. Chairman's excellent advice, the havoc must
have: been terrific. I have rarely seen men more de.
termined. The Chairman said his own life he war
bound to risk, but it was his duty to preserve those o'
others: Many have been seriously and dangerously
wounded. At half-past six o'clock the first charge
took place, and the people reassembled at eight, and
were charged a second time. These are the glorious
proceedings of a Tory Government.
Your very obedient servant,
Aug. 22, 1842. J. ANDERSON.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCB.
EGHAM RACES.—TUESDAT.
At the commencement of the present season it was
rather doubtful whether the annual sports of Runnymede
would be renewed. They had closed in 1841, under a
cloud ; the gentry were lukewarm, funds were low, aed
the racing had been below par ; everything portended a
dissolution, or, that at the best they would furnish " one
heat and a walk over" for the Queen's guineas, al 4
Guildford, Lewes, and other places, where her Majesty's
gracious gifts are just as much thrown away. At:
the eleventh hour, however, some of the magnates of the
neighbourhood, headed, we believe, by Colonel Challoner,
" came to the fescue," and the inhabitants receiving and
actin4 upon the impulse, a race-fund of considerable
amount was speedily collected, Mr. Ilibburd appointed
to his old office, and things put en train for August ; too
late in the day, perhaps, to place the meting on the
same tooting as In its palmy days, but time enough to
prevent their total abandonment, and to prove that if the
steam be kept up, and influential stewards appointed for
1843, there is nothing to fear. One alteration, however,
is indispensable, and that is to lessen the duration of the
meeting. The money subscribed this year, with the
Queen's Plate, would have insured two good days'
racing, but eked out into three, is likely to make an in-
different show. It should be borne in mind, too, that
Egham is now completely isolated, and that a list or
small meetings have sprung up within easy distances
from the metropolis, or in localities to which tee rail-
roads afford cheap and easy access at all hours—no
slight recommendation to the thousands who are obliged
.to economize time as well as money. In the
belief that our suggestions will be received in
the right spirit, we will touch lightly upon
the comparative failure of the races, as far as
they have gone. The sport yesterday was of an indiffe-
rent character, and the attendance, owing no doubt, in
some measure to the state of the country, was more
numerous than fashionable ; a few of the higher class
however, were present, viz.: the Earls of Chesterfield
andßosslyn, Lord Langford, Sir G. Heathcoto, and W.
W. Wynn ; the Honourables Captain bons, G. Fitzroy,
H. Forester, Maude ; Colonel Challoner, Colonel
Peel ; Captains Seymour, Bulkeley, Ricardo, &c. ;
Messrs. Ives, Gardnor, Rush, &c. Colonel Challoner was
accompanied by the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Stanhope,
the Honourable Miss King, Misses Tottenham and Ver-
ner, and Mr. Parnther.
The following is an outline of the sport :

LIMERICK, AUG. 20.—Shortly before two o'clock
o'clock on the morning of yesterday, this city and
neighbourhood was visited by one of the most awfu
thunder-storms known for a long time. The first crash
of the clouds was like to nothing but the instantaneous
discharge of a full park of artillery, and the lightning
was truly terrific, and literally illumined the streets.
We are, however, happy to state, that up to this hour
no damage has been heard of. The dread clamour of
the elements continued in successive peals for three
hours, and was accompanied by a heavy fall of rain.
The sultry state of the atmosphere for some days before
this, accompanied by oppressive heat, prepared us for
an explosion of the kind, but not anything equal to the
awful conflict which followed, and was calculated t,
make the most nervous heart shudder. The temperature
is since cool, and there" has been a copious fall of rain.
[The Waterford, Cork, and other southern papers con-
tain similar accounts of the thunder-storm.]
THE HARVEST.— Already in a number of farms in
this neighbourhood the shearing is completed, and many
of the fields are now cleared, and their produce com-
mitted to the stack-yard in the finest possible condition.
There is now no doubt whatever'ns to the superior qua-
lity of the grain, the samples which have been brought
to market being of beautiful colour and great weight.
The harvest will be a most abundant one, but even if it
were to turn poorly out on the barn-floor, as many per-
sons were disposed to anticipate, the highly superior qua-
lity of the grain would more than compensate for any
trifling defalcation in bulk. So far as has yet been
ascertained, however, there is no reason for any appre-
hension as to quantity. On the contrary, the yield
seems to be as ample as the quality is superior to the or-
dinary seasous. There is a great want of pasture, which,
although much benefited by the rains which fell ten days
ago, are still bare, and by no means adequate to the
wants of the stock unavoidably placed upon them. The
potato and :turnip crop, notwithstanding the SCW;re
drought, are generally looking well —in some instances,
indeed, the crops are excellent.--Edi*intrgit Papa.
