MIR. John P. Bryan has the honor to an
noupce TO the sugar planters of Louisiana,
that he bas invented a Cane Gutter to work
sv horse power and that it is now in sue
~cessful operation at the plantation OF Mr..
Josiah Barker, at Manchac, in the parish Of
Fast Baton Rouge, where all arc respectfully
invited to witness its powers. Mr.. Bryan be-
inp awaae that the sanguine estimates OF Pa
tentees are generally received with consider
able allowance, respectfully submits to the
public, the accompanying voucher OF expe-
rienced planters, as an evidence that those
who NAV be at the trouble to call and see q
valuable invention, will not find themselves
| engaged Id a hootless errand.
Manchac, November i, 1s43.
The undersigned having seen the patent
cane cutter of MIR. John p Bryan in operation
tender to him this, their opinion, that it il
perfectly successful, go far as to cut the cane
With great rapidity at the surface Of tn
ground that they esteem it to be a very va
Iuablo instrument, which will justify the trou
Bile of a visit from any part Of the sugar re
gion, to those who may wish to see and 4
use it.

A II lo r
our paper of to-day from the Liverpool Mer-
curry of the llth, showing the tendency Of
public feeling towards Ireland. The policy
of O'ConneH has been admirable, and such
as must insure him eventually the most CON-

era in The history of nations as TO the mode
of redresslng popular grievances, and ii is a
mode which no nation can long successfully
resist. Had he appealed 10 arms, his force
would at once have been crushed land Justice

But he did not; he has carefully abstained
from the violation of any existing law, and
instead Of bringing in play any of the evil
passions of mankind, his appeals have al
been to the benevolent and better feelings,
and popular tide has been raised, which is
swelling with full and complete vindcation
of the rights of Ireland. O'Conneli has
taught tie world most admirable lesson.
He has shown the oppressed of all nations
mode and means by which their liberties
may be acquired without the expense of Ell
Their blood or treasure. Wars and rumors
of wars are destined e'er long to pass from
the face ofthe earth. The nobler and CHRIS

of oppression, as in nature, the gradually as
