infallibly gone for ever , we have ventured to point out a few things which landlords ought to do , and if they do which , they will never want tenants ; and we are confident that in many cases they may * obtain the same rent as they do now , and in others they may easily obtain increased rents . " Tithes and rates and taxes must be spoken of by themselves , and these we must defer to another opportunity . To recapitulate , however : —1 . The system of entail ought to be abolished . 2 . There ought to bean Encumbered Estate Court . 3 . Landlords when they let a farm , must abandon the game on the farm to the tenant . 4 . Land must be let on improved tenure . " The Coventry Herald predicts some happy consequences which will follow the withdrawal of
Protection : — " The fact is , the farmers and their friends , finding it impossible to force back the whole spirit and tendency of the age , will see if they cannot sail into the port of prosperity by floating with the tide , we shall have them Financial and Political Reformers—the promoters of improvements in machinery—Church Reformers , Poor-law Reformers—all because their interests are no longer protected , but placed on a level with those of the rest of the community . Those who sail in the same vessel are all equally interested in having it trimmed and steered with care , economy , and ability . " " The New Reformation" is one of the subjects of the Nation—the reformation of hunger .
" We are not the hirelings of sacerdotal authority ; we write for no diocese—we think by no man ' s grace—but as Catholics , we would rather see our old island , with all its relics of sanctity and learnim * , buried beneath the ocean , than believe that our people are the base wretches whom the Tunes pictures . No , no . God speed education ! God speed freedom of opinion for all ! But if these gifts can only reach us from the hands that supply purchase-money for apostacy , if they are to be the concomitants of the Achill Reformation , we refuse them . We will not take the " daily bread" for which we pray to God , if it is mixed with arsenic and henbane . "
The Dundee Advertiser has of late contained some intelligent , but cautious articles on Association , in the way of comments on the progress o £ associative labour in the United States . At all points we see the question of cooperation is becoming the question of the day .

Malkie , who was so intoxicated that he was unable to give any information as to the person who had stolen his watch . He apprehended Samson merely on suspicion . He had made inquiries , and found that Malkie had been drinking at Pearson's , in Cursitor-street ; but the landlady positively declared Samson was not with him at all in her house .
Sir R . W . Carden : There is no evidence against the girl , and I must therefore discharge her . Mr . Malkie : Very well , Sir . I have do objection . { Laughter . ) Sir R . W . Carden : And you will loose your watch . Mr . Malkie : I suppose so . Sir . R . W . Carden : You see , Mr . Malkie , this is all the effects of getting drunk . Mr . Malkie : I admit it is very improper . Sir H . W . Carden : It certainly is . However , the loss of your watch is a good penalty for your indiscretion , and I hope it will be a lesson to you , that when you stray again from home you will not forget that you are a gentleman of independent property , and not get drunk . ( Laughter . ) Samson was then discharged , and Malkie was seen inquiring most anxiously for the reporters , as he was afraid his friends in Cork would hear of him through their means .

Fennimore Cooper . Rufus W . Griswold called the meeting to order and stated the object of it . It had been intended to make a more public demonstration of a meeting ; but many gentlemen were necessarily absent , Bishop Doane , J . K . Paulding , Henry C . Carey ,
William C . Bryant , George Bancroft and others were out of town .

Hunt then moved that a Committee of Five be appointed to report , at a future meeting , a plan of proceedings to render fitting honour to the memory of Mr . Cooper .

The Queen of Spain celebrated the anniversary of her birthday on the 10 th of October . At Maycnce on the 10 th instant , the Pious Union or league for promoting the Roman Catholic interests in Germany , held in a public saloon a great meeting at which the Cardinal-Bishop of Cologne and other heads of the Church presided . The galleries were densely crowded with ladies . The cock of a gaspipe having been accidentally too much opened , the flame blazed up a little , and caused some nervous person to cry " lire , " when a scene of indescribable coiii ' uaion ensued , and . six ladies were crushed to death in the rush made to escape down the narrow stairs , three others being dangerously hurt . The crowd of anxious relatives who came to the spot when the alarm spread through the town was so great , that two companies of military were obliged to be sent for in order to clear a passage for bearing away the corpses and the wounded sufferero .
On Monday evening , other two ladies of the short robe came publicly forward to advocute woman ' s rights and Bloomerism . The Waterloo-room , Edinburgh , was filled on the occasion ; and though the male sex preponderated amongst the assemblage , there were also a considerable number of young ladies present . After the manifestation of Home impatience in the gallery , the . Bloomers appeared . The elder of the two was a Mrs . Wilson of alleged celebrity in the cause , considerably past the bloonierism of youth , and with neiliier grace of figure nor elegance of manner to assist her in the arduous task of expounding the advantages of the new costume . Him
was attired in a dark red merino dress without variation or relief . Her younger coadjutor was a little plump ^ md-looking girl named Miss Fie mining , apparelled in a daik fawn-coloured dress , and who sat as a mute illustration during Mis . Wilson ' s prelection . The bulk of the speaking devolved upon the elder female , and she certainly did everything which vulgar mispronunciation , wretched grammar , and frightful elocution could do to ornament the " address " with which she was inl . rusieil , and which occasionally she had no small difficulty in deciphering . At the conclusion , t lie more blooming advocate of woman's rights gave a brief , well-expressed , and well delivered peroration to tin' lecture , and her
sonorous voice ; and gay intrepidity ncemcd much to p lcas « i the audience . —Scotsman .
