sent to his assistance. We are glad to hear that two of the
ruffians are in custody, and that the keeper of the " Hush-

of all the others engaged.

DREADFUL MURDER.—With great regret, indeed, we have
to mention that a dreadful murder has been committed in
the county Clare—dreadful, truly, as regards the individual
thus prematurely cut off in the very flower of his age, mar-
ried only a few months, and we may say just entering into
life. Mr. Thomas Brew, of Shyan, near Kilrush, was mur-
dered at his own door, on Monday evening, after alighting
off his horse, on his return from Kilrush. Mrs. Brew her-
self went to the door, upon bearing her husband knock, just
in time to find him on the ground with life all but extinct.
We may easily conceive the state of her feelings on such an
occasion, but we own to depict them is beyond our power.
That this has been a premeditated act. there is no room to
doubt, and we are doubly pained to think that the state of
feeling amonz a portion of our peasantry is such, that the
life of a fellow-being is sacrificed to the base passion of re-
venge. We understand that the deceased was some time
past brought into collision with some tenants holding a por-
tion of the land he lived on, and the opposition he met with
led to a severance of all those kind feelings which ought to
subsist between landlord and tenant. How this opposition
to the rights of the deceased was promoted and fostered, we
hope a short time will develop. That it was fostered and
encouraged we have been assured, and we are led to believe
that the costs of such opposition, in every instance falling
upon the tenants, was the cause of severe privations, and

.nd, accordingly, Lord John

Russell at first made hohourable members on 'both sides of
the house raise their eye-brows, by saying that, instead of
keeping the.rneanure back for use throughout the session, he
meant to carry it forward without delay. Ministers, how-
ever, are not quite so rich in expedients that they can thus
easily dispose of their newestand best ; so, on Monday night,.
Lord John made the much more congenial announcement
that the bill was to stand ouer for awhile—to some time even
beyond the lst of April; the 23rd of April is the day which
he happened to mention. The whigs have always some
special and all-sufficient reason for such postponements. and
this time the reason is unusually cogent and amusing ; they
cannot go on with the bill because they nave not sufficient
information on the.subject of its main provision to enable
them to come to a final decision upon it. They were in such
a hurry to bring in some showy bill to drive Lord Stanley's
out of the market, that they positively botched up one in
ignorance of its probable working ; and before they can ven-
ture to offer it out and out for the deliberate refusal of a
committee, they must carry it back to the workshop, and
take it to pieces again, and remake it, or rather learn how to
make it. They need more infOrmation, they say, about the
poor-law rating, which is the basis of their franchise, before
they can determine what the franchise shall be; the five-
pound franchise was the toy of the hour-=all pasteboard and
tinsel. And so the House of Commons must wait awhile,
that ministers may begin to frame the bill which they have
already induced the house to accept. • Lord Stanley was
quite aghast at the subterfuge through which his desperate
onset was made to be wasted in a vacated field ;. and hack-
neyed ministerial backers, who would have voted with Lord
John the next minute whatever he chose to affirm, almost
blushed as they whispered, " Really this is too barefaced."
In the meantime, ministers have the use of the " new reform
bill," for two months of the session at least.—Spectator.
CORN-CUTTING—OR CUTTING THE TOES—AND TAKING
TO THE HEELS.—On Wednesday se'nnight, two musta-
chioed individuals, of the masculine gender, dressed in most
gorgeous apparel, one of them bearing the name of Rem-
brand, describing himself " the chiropodist general to the
King of Prussia," and describing his companion as my young
man, made their appearance in Ulverston, and forthwith
proceeded to seek lodgings, and rooms (about the selection
and splendour of which they were very fastidious) wherein to
display their skill in extracting those roots of evil, called
corns, from human toes. The people of Ulverston were duly
informed by a circular of Monsieur Rembrand's kind inten-
tions towards them ; and he, and " his young man," in
order to make themselves better known to the public, en the
two or three days succeeding their arrival, were in the habit
of walking the streets, and pulling off their hats to well-
dressed ladies, whose gait might lead to a suspicion of corns ;
and also of making so free as to pop their whiskered physi-
ognomies under their bonnets. These adventnrers carried
on their operations till Sunday last ; on the morning of which
day a newspaper arrived from Whitehaven at the Ulverston
news-room, giving an - exact description of Monsieur,. and
" his young man," and Rembrand's name—and mentioning
that the twain had contrived to get into debt with many of
the tradesmen of Whitehaven and Carlisle, and had been so
very forgetful as to leave those towns without satisfying their
creditors. This newspaper was, of course, shewn by some
very good natured friend to monsieur, and " his young
man," on Sunday afternoon, and excited in them all that
wrath which might be expected. Monsieur forthwith pro-
ceeded to give instructions to an attorney to commence an

action against the Whitehaven paper for libel ; but unfortu-
nately the attorney had that same morning received instruc-
tions from Mr. Gibson, the proprietor of the Cunzberland
Pacquet to sue Monsieur Rembrand for a debt of £2 lOs for
printing monsieur's circulars in the town of Whitehaven.
Monsieur was, of course, much taken aback when informed
of this—began to cool about the libel action—and politely
promised to pay the debt on the following morning. The
same day (Sunday) the superintendent of the police in Ulver-
ston also received intelligence from Carlisle of Monsieur's
proceedings in that city, where he had succeeded in obtaining
from one old lady the munificent fee of £l6, for givin; her
ease from corns all the rest of her days. The plan adopted
to obtain so large an honorarium was this ; his charge for
extracting a corn was ss, but it it was found that the extracted
corn had more that one root, .5-; more was charged for each
root extra. Could it be believed that any rational being could
allow herself to be so imposed upon ? On Monday morning
Rembrand and " his young man " were no longer visible in
