THREE FACTS FOR O'CONNELL'S CONSIDERATION.  We beg to direct Mr O'Connell's attention to three rather stinking facts, which we take it for granted have hitherto escaped it. The that is the murder of Mr. Clarke, in the broad noonday, in Tipperary, the scene of one of his recent inflammatory meetings. One singularity attending this fact is, that the "print of no fashionable London made I boot" has been discovered at or near the spot! We fear much, therefore, as no Saxon nobleman or gentleman can be pointed at, that this foul murder must be laid at the door of the "good, grateful, kind-hearted peasantry." As Mr. Clarke never gave the slightest offence to any human being, and as he was a gentleman of fortune, might it not be possible to pick out some friend whom his death would enrich as an object of suspicion? No individual need be too minutely designated, nor no name mentioned, and, after the fashion of the Norbury insinuation, no rink need be incurred. We admit the oath of one of the "fine peasantry" stands a little in the way. This "kindhearted" fellow saw the smoke from the guns, saw the two murderers, "partly walking and _partly running " through fields in which numbers of' the 'kind-hearted' peasantry were at work! No alarm was given no pursuit set on foot, in short, no notice was taken! Verily, they are a noble people, and admirably adapted for "self-government." The second fact discloses an innovation in the habits of the O'Connell family which Daniel ought to look to in time. While he is gathering the rabble together, shouting "hurrah for the repale," and advising the Government to open the ports and levy money on the Woods and Forests—while he is thus humanely and patriotically employed, his brother John no repealer, no spouter, no monster-meeting Bobadil, been has :' silly enough to subscribe £5OO to feed the famishing peasantry of Kerry! This is intolerable. Has the Pilot no suggestion to offer? Surely Dr. Crony's case was not so strong as this Our third fact is positively appalling. It strikes at THE RENT: a rival is in the field l—a patriot-_a repealer—and, worst of all, a priest. This pious and good man, pitying the famishing people, has opened a shop for this sale of holy salt, which is to save all the potatoes ! 11 Reader, this is a fact. The pious patriot has been remonstrated with, and pleads precedent! He certainly may. He can point out one man in Ireland who basset him the example of taxing famine. We should not at all wonder if Father Pat was to establish a "tribute office," aye, and even have his committee—perhaps a baronet on it! and then—what will become of the "beagles?" Look to it in time old Bamfylde, or you may come at last to "sit below the salt"— Morning Herald.  Batavia, Aug. s.—Accounts from Macassar announce that In the night of the 7th of July heavy showers of rain did great damage at Bonthain, on the south coast of Celebes, and caused the rivers to overflow their banks. The fields were from two to five feet under water. The rampart of Fort Rotterdam is almost wholly destroyed, and there is a breach in the dock to the extent of fifty feet. The river Bonthain, flowing by the Kampong of Baroe, carried away .a piece of ground fifty feet in breadth and two hundred feet in length, with two houses standing upon it, the inhabitants of which were saved. A royal resolution of the 13th of February, 1845, annulling the decision of the Governor-General of India of the 16th of December, 1843, Mr. M. Le Roux, late resident at Banes, is relieved from all responsibility from the extraordinary measures taken by him to quell the insurrection of the Chinese miners in the island of Banca in September, 1843. The Weather—For the last few days the weather has been in a very unsettled state. Heavy squalls, and rain, and much odd. Last night and this morning the wind almost amounted to a hurricane, and thix day the rain has been incessant.—Dublia Moil of Wednesday.
