DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 2.

Mr. Justice Ossonun died yesterday. His to -
ship fell a victim to the lever which is now raging
with such destructive fury throughout the country.
The first symptoms of illness appeared just as the
C rcnit which the Learned Judge went, li.d termi-
nated. He was a very few days unwell, and until'
Saturday last, was not considered to be affected with
any thing more dangerous than a slight cold. We
have to add, that Judge Osnmitte fell a victim to his
kindness and humanity. His Crier hag taken dl
on Circuit, and the worthy Judge tookliim into his
coach on his return to town. His death is very gene-
rally lamented.

RTDE, ISLE OF WIGHT, SEPTEMBER 2.

The game of Cricket continues to be promsted by
the principal inhabitants and visitors of this place.—
On Friday a match was played of eleven on each
side, of the married against the single. The Hon.
Gunton Semett, the bon of the Earl, and Sir GuY
CASIPBILL, were at the head of the latter. The
married men beat the batchelnrs, and had two
wickets to go down. The same parties played again
this day, when the case was completely reversed, the
single men having oaly had one inning to the mar-
tied men's two.

The town is very full of company. Lord Nu-
GUT and a party arrived at the Marquis of BtcluNo•
HAWS hou,e on Thursday evening, and on Friday
they dined with the Earl and Countess of SPZNCIR
and a select party.

Sir hunts BURIMITT WAS to leave Kildangen, the
seat of Mr. O'Ratu.v. on Friday morning, accom-
panied by RODINICK °Totowa, for Thomas-town,

Immediately
after Sir Tnomas's death, the little

England, a copy of the process on which in this coun-
try, duly authenticated, was transmitted to France,
and proceeded upon in the French Court. The de-
feadant disputed :he legality of the proceeding in the
French Court, and pleaded an arrest of the judgment
by default which had been obtained against him.—'
The case was argued in the Cciurt below at Boulogne,
lon Friday last, and decided against the defendant.—
The Co" in delivering its judgment. 'cited vationi

case. Our countrymen who have ran away from
paying their tradesmen's bills are thus secure in
France. They cannot be arrested on imam pm's:—
no action can originate there against them ; but the
debtors against whom judgment has been obtained at
home will not enjoy the same security.
Dew= °PIRA Housa.—The Comic Opera en-
titled Rich and Poor was performed last night, for the
first time this season. It went off with all the eclat
which this interesting Piece, when well supported,
never fails to excite. The excellence of Miss Kau.v.
iii Zorageia. is familiar to the Public, but possessing I
so many beauties, it can never cease to please. The
last scene with her father is exceeded in pathos by few
efforts of the Tragic Mu*. The feeling, forceful
energy and fine acting of Miss Kau rendered it
deeply affecting and impressive. The tears of the
audience bore testimony to her powers.

attacked and gored him most severely. Mrs. CHM-

She had her leg broken, besides being otherwise much
injured. Several shop windows were broken by the
animal, which was at length secured. . .

LETTER I.
TO TIM EDITOR OF TILE STIR.

MAR Slit—When a. Plan has been proposed to
the Public to render this Country the happiest in
the world--a perfect Paradise upon Earth--and
the example to extend over the whole globe—it be-
comes every rational mind to well examine such a

scheme, and, if the result be full approbation, then
to use every endeavour to promote so desirable an
event. As this embraces a wide field of reflection, it
requires. that all its parts be examined in detail, and
an answer be given to the several objections, which
have been started against such a plan, called Otners's
Plan, which have appeared in a full assembly of
people, and which speeches afterwards appeared in
the public prints. That something should be done
towards ameliorating the condition of the people of
England must be allowed on all hands, and the
present period calls loudly for it, more than any
other. A benevolent regard for our fellow-creatures
is a grand principle, which none but the most de-
praved can oppose the necessity of; it is a duty that
in all civilized nations has been found. in some de-
gree, to prevail, but in none equal to this country,
where foreigners remark, that our hospitals are
palaces, and our palaces like hospitals. The impor-
lant duties of society demand it of the rich, and it i,
one of the great commands of religion. The feel-
' info speak inwardly to its necessity, and it may be
said to form an essential part of our constitution,
that none shall absolutely die for want. But Mr.
Owam goes farther. He would remove poverty out
of the lend altogether, or nearly so. The country
then would no longer be disgraced by vagrants wan-
dering from door to door—with the miserable sight
of wretched children of half.starved mothers, beg-
ging a scanty pittance—an ill-clothed and discon-
tented peasantry—the country defaced with climes,
gibbets, and executions—and mothers looking up in
vain to fathers, for a scanty morsel of b!ead—and
the infant expiring for want on the empty breasts of
chill penury—nor towns filled with pollution, and
smoke, and crimes—and on every side scenes, which
shock the eye of sensibility. On the contrary, the
rich would, under his system, be enjoying their piety y
on every side---picturesque buildings would be every
where seen, surrounded by delightful trees—children
ruddy and healthy. sitting under their spreading fo-
liage, simple in dress and manners, good natured,
sociable, and obliging. and, like a bee hive, all
active, all employed, all rational, all intelligent—
beings worthy of the appellation of men, and thank-
ful to their CRIPATOa, for the blessings of kife.—
Then would be realised the common saying-0 Goo
has made this world a pleasant habitation, if man
bad not marred it ;"—and the world would really be
what it was designed for by Pauvinanca, the abode
of beings, advancing more and more towards perfec-
tion in this world, and suited for the celestial Para-
dise, of which this world, in some measure, represents
the faint image. But it may be here fairly asked, is
net this a awe rhapsody—the vision of an cntliu-
aialt -"the dream 'of tancy-r-an Utopian idea--and
dot die result Of deep. sober regrsinn, Cartled on
-for
a series of years ? It then, becomes us now to ask"—
What has Mr. Owen written ?..—and what has he
done, that we shall employ our time in considering
his Plan ? In the first place, Mr. Owes is not only
a thinking, but a practical scholar, and has been en-
gaged in conducting the largest manufactories of this
country for wore than thirty years. His first Essay
is Observations on the Effect of the Manufac-
turing System ; with Hints for the Improvement of
those Parts of it, which are most injurious to Health
and Mnrals; dedicated, most resiteetfol?y, to the Bri-
tish Legislature." In this excellent ',induction, we
find the following most judicious and patriotic' re-
tie:hub:

• 61 Not more than 110 years since, the poorest parents thought
the *goof 14 suSelently early for their children to conunence re-
gular labour: and they judged well; for by that period of their
lives they bad acquired by play and exercise in the open air, the
foundation of a sound robust coostitution • and if they Weft not

useful knowledge of domestic life, which could not but be fami-
liar to than at the age of le, and which, as they grew up anti

be remembered also, that 12 hours per day, including the time
for regular 'ascend meals, were then thought sallicient to extract
an the working strength of the most robust adult; when it may
be rip:larked local holidays were much more frequent than at pre-
sent in mast parts of the kingdom. At this period too, they were
generally trained by the example of some landed proprietor, and
in inch habits as created a mutual interest between the parties,
by which means even the lowest peasant was generally consider-
ed • as helot:ging to, and forming somewhat of a member of, a
respectable family. Under these dectunstauces the lower orders
experienced not only a coasiderable degree of comfort, but they
Lad also frequent opportunities of enjoying healthy rational sports
and amusements; and In coaseglattice ilk, became strongly at-
tached to those on whom they depedrd, and their services were
willingly perforated, mid mutual good *Sus bound the parties

" Contrast this stare of matters with that of the lower orders of
the present day—with human native trained as it new is, sunk(
the new manufacturing system.
" In the manufacturing districts it is common for parents to
send their children of bulb sexes at seven or eight years of age,
in winter as well as summer %at six o'clock in the morning,
sometimes of mane in the dirk, and oitasionally amidst frost

" The children now find they must labour incessantly for their

and rational amusements—they are not permitted the requisite

14 such a system of training cannot be expected to produce
any other than a population welkin bodily and mental tacult ts,
and with habits generally destructive of their own conduits, el

natute, as .1r appears iti the little sects and parties around us, Is
sufficient to make It evident to these, not very much misinstructe•l
from infancy, that children may be taught any habits and any
sentiment; and that these, with the bodily and mental prepsnd-
tics and faculties 'slating at birth its each individual, combined
with the general circumstances in which he it placed, constitute

From the receipts of the two fist months of the
present quarter, there is an expectation at the Trea-
sury that the produce of the whole will be favourable.
The Licensing Magistrates seem to be looking
after the public-houses with some degree of attention.
The Justices acting for the parish of St. Martin in the
Fields, have suspended the license of forty-seven

An immense number of counterfeit shillings, in
