Hhe mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs continues to decrease , for the numbers in this class in tbe last three weeks were successively 139 , 127 , and 102 , - while the average is 131 .. The . increase is principally in the zymotic or cpj . limic class of diseases ; for , whereas the average is 198 , the deaths in this group in the same three weeks were successively- 233 , 209 , and 231 . The deaths in tbe last week from diarrhoea and dysentry were twenty-five , or eleven above the average , but are- not more numerous , than iin the- same week of
1843 : those from cholera in two preceding weeks were respectivelv five and nine , but in last _ week were twenty-two " , though the weekly average in former years " was onlv one . Hooping-cough shows an excess on the average of twenty-two , the number in this return beingnfty-eig ht . The deaths . from scarlatina were forty , or eight more than the average ; those from typhus thirty-eight , or four less than the average . In the West Lonuon TJision Workhouse a man of thirty-six years died of "low lever , accompanied with diarrhoea , apparently produced by extreme destitution . " Another man , of the same age , died of "delirium tremens , brought . on by
excessive drinking . " . In University College Hospital the death of a juggler , twenty-two years , of age , b <> curred , according to the return , from "tremendous pericarditis , caused by passing an Iron-sword down the esophagus and thence to theperecardium , after exhibition .

The temperature was ni gh in the early , part of tlie week , especially on Tuesday , when the mean was QS-6 , and hi g her than the average of the same day in seven previous years by 9-1 . The mean ofthe week was 59-7- —Registrar-General ' s Return , -

Moke Smugguxo At Portsmouth.—Another Unp...
Moke Smugguxo at Portsmouth . —Another unporfaiu . seizure of brandy and gin was made a few days u £ o at Gosporfe . It appears that a sentinel , m the rear of the ltoyal Marme JJarracks , at Forton , whose post was close to the water ' s edge , heard about , midnight persons moving near his post and challenged them , not receiving any answer he proceeded to the spot and found a large . wherry , which has been twice captured prior to this event , and a small beat at the ed g e of the water . On examination tbe sentinel finding 106 tubs iu the largo boat , leuuiameJ the inland boy , by whom he was offered £ 10 to let them depart . This offer was declined , and assistance being called , the whole "were detained , and soon after delivered over to the Portsmouth Larbour coast-guard . The sp irits amount to nearly 500 gallons proof , and arc
supposed to have been landed from the Ariel yacht which came into harbour on the previous day ; the yacht is under detention . Theowner of the yacht did not arrive at this port in her ; and there is little doubt , but that the improper use made of his vessel has bten without his knowledge . The . capture of the in : m is important ; he is known as " Billy Mitchell , " and is believed to be the mainspring of the smuggling transactions gohig on in Hants . He ias bcjtn for a long time looked after , but , as he was seldom to be seen in such transactions , it was difficult io bring anything home to him . A notorious beer house , in White ' s-row , Tortsea , was searched some days ago for smuggled goods , and 1401 bs . of Cavendish tobacco were found concealed beneaih ihe flooring . A very heavy penalty may be sued for in this case . . A Fn *;_ -i > Di . EXT "BANKttUPT . —At . tbe Manchester
Borough Court , on Saturday last , a plumber and painter , \ VilUam Jabez D . ivies ,, formerly carrying on bu < jncis at Manchester , and also at Patricroft , was brought before the magistrates on a charge of defrauding his creditors , by secreting his goods pre-Tious to his bankruptcy . From the siatement of counsel ( Mr . Joseph Pollock " ) it appeared that the prisoner was made a bankrupt on - his own petition in lSi-7 , but that on his examination before the Courrof Bankruptcy , the learned Commissioner was much dissatisfied with his accounts , and that to sueh an extent was the suspicion of his dishonesty increased on the last hearing , that the proceedings wsrc adjourned sine die . Certain disclosures have since been made to the assignees , which had led lo . ibe present steps . The learned counsel then called and examined at great length Mr . John
Simpson , now a master plumber and -glazier in Manchester , bat an operative in the employ of the prisoner ai- the time of his bankruptcy , and subsequently of the prisoner ' s son . The substance of this mail ? evidence was , that iimnedinU-ly prior to tbe bankruptcy , be was employed , by the prisoner to remove great quantities of goons to the houses and shops of other parties ; that a quantity were concealed in an attic ofthe premises in Manchester , the de-jr of which opened with a slide , and was covered oxer with paper-hangings , so as to escape detection hy a strangeVtothe place ; that aquantity more v ; -z-re hidden in a pit sunk in the garden at PafrieVofr for the purpose ; that another portion were concealed in a large box round one of the rooms ' of bis house at Patricroft , this box being fitted round the room so as to resemble a form or
seat nic-reiy , and being so painted that no suspicion would be entertained of its being used for any other purpose . The witness-said" large portions of these goods after the bankruptcy . bad "found : then * way into tlie stock of the bankrupt ' s son , who Was carrying oa life business for the father , lie was of opiuion that the value of the goods which came hack into stock in'this way Was at' least £ 103 . After a long examination Mr . Pollock asked to have the prisoner remanded . —Mr ; Cbbbett ; the barrister , askod if bail would be taken for the prisoner ' s ap . pearaisoe ^ n Tuesday ?—Mr . Maude , the magistrate , ' said the prisoner might be admitted to hail , hut the amount must be such as to secure his appearance ; did the prosecution thinktwp sureties , in £ 30 would be sutBcient ? Mr . Pollock said that must rest
with the discretion' with , . the' court ; goods to the value of . £ 150 , ' he was told , bad been discovered , besides what might yet ; be out ' of the way . Mr . Maude said the Sail must , ofcourse , be ' sufficicnt to insure the , object - in vicw ,- ; and . in themcantime , until some better : idea could be formed of what that would be , the prisoner must be removed in custody . A further examination of the bankrupt was made on Wednesday , when the evidence . previously g ivejj i that the prisoncr . had ^ cretedjjoods in a holejH his garden , and an at ' tic ' which he had partitioned off fromthe-rest of hii premises ' and in the bouse of neighbours / was fully corroborated , and he was committed for trial at the' next Liverpool assizes . Tlie magistiiites-however offered ' io admit him tobail in two sureties of- £ 100 each : *

at the public expense , there was not one Welsh . Thev were nearly all Irish . —Principality . The Wkexham Bane Failure .. —In the . bankruptcy court , Liverpool , on Monday , the casepf it ., Middleton Lloyd dame on for hearing . ; lhis was an adjourned examination for the" production of an amended balance-sheer , extending back to the year 1824 when the bankrupt dissolved p : u-tnership . witli his brother , Sir . William Lloyd-Mr . Ew , ^ , citor , . appeared for the . assignees and objected to the capital amount on July I 182 ^ . which was stated bv the amended nalance-sheet to be * I , » o 0 . He contended it was incorrectly made out , as it was founded on a statement"of ; affairs which appeared inthe deed of dissolution in which the bankin
rupt himself was entered as a debtor to the firm the sum of £ 9 , 000 , whereas by the hooks he" only appeared to be indebted in the sum of v £ 5 , 000 .. Mr . Evans slated that there were further objections '; The bankrupt then underwent an . examination , in the course of which it appeared that , ' at the time of the dissolution , there were certain debts to the partnership concern , amounting to £ 10 , 255 , arid es- timated at £ 5 , 635 , which yielded to the bankrupt upwards of £ 7 , 500 . Mr . Evans objected that the difference between the estimated amount of £ 5 , 685 and £ 7 , 500 actually received had not been accounted for by the bankrupt ; and , as _ he did not seem able to explain these discrepancies , be ( Mr . Evans ) suggested that a further adjournment should take placed The bankrupt said he could ' explain all the transactions if he had further time given him , but the lapse of time was so great that he could not do so . at
present . Mr . Evans then proceeded to examine the bankrupt in reference to a mortgage to Lady Wale for £ 2 , 000 , which did not appear in the balancesheet ; also as to monies received by the'bankrupf on the joint account of his brother and himself , which did not appear in the accounts ; and further , in referrence to his wife ' s marriage settlement , under which he had received upwards of . £ 300 a vear from 1832 to 1 S 44 . —The bankrupt said he had applied this hioney towards the maintenance of his family . Mr . Evanstheii again addressed the court , stating that he . did not consider . it necessary to pursue the examination further at present , seeiu" - that the balancorsheet was so unsatisfactory . Mr . Badham ( the bankrupt ' s accountant ) said the £ 4 , 000 referred to would , he believed , never be cleared up . The further hearing of " the case was then adjourned to Monday , the 23 rd of July , a ; fm > ther amended . balance sheet to be made readj in the
meantime . . .. .., -. .- > Colliery . ExFLOSios .- ^ Another " explosion of fire dampoccurred on Friday week last , at the North Elswick Colliery , near Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; but fortunately , hi this instance , no lives were lost : ;; It appears , that about noon , on that day , the . " . overman" ( Mi . Whittaker ) and his assistant were proceeding down the shaft , iri a cage ,-with some wood to repair a " brattice" " and they imprudently took . a naked candle , lighted , with them . When about halfway down the shaft the gas exploded at the candle with a . tremendous report , which was heard at the surface ^ and . for some distance from the pit . The engineman instantly reversed the gearand drew thecage arid men up ; and on reaching the bank , the men were found to be severely . burnt . They got out of . the . cage , however , and walked home
without assistance , Davy lamps were used , in the mine , which is comparatively a small one ; aiid'it shows how reckless of human life the pitmen generally ire , when an " overman , " who ought to have known better than to-run such arisk , ventured into the . mine with an open candle , and with the catastrophe at Hepburn still fresh-on his . mind . The funerals of those killed at Hepburn took place on Thursday week , arid a melancholy " spectacle it was . Long rows of black coffins , prepared at the expense of the colliery , were followed by ' hundreds of distressed . and bereaved friends j and - the solemnity ofthe occasion was greatly " enhanced by the mournful dirge which is usually sung on such occasions in the pit districts . , An examination of the ' mine has , as yet , thrown no further . light on ; the cause of . the explosion . The niine was ventilated on the furnace system . ' " . . *
The RoBBERYiNPARK-SQUAnE , Leeds . —On Wednesday , B . Wooller and W . Barns , who were remanded from the previous Wednesday , wereagain brought before the magistrates at Leeds , . charged . ' with , having committed the robbery in the house of Mrs . Musgrave in Parkrsquare , , on Sunday , May 27 , " of money and p late ; but after ' sonic trifling additional evidence had been given , the bench stated that , upon ' the best consideration they had been able to give to the subject , they were of opinion , that there was not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoners of the robbery , and in consequence they were liberated . Fearful Sgicibe . — On Wednesday morning , about eight o ' clock , an elderly man ( probably sixty
years of age ) was seen deliberately to approacb a coal pit at Bradford , near Manchester , and commit self-destruction by leaping down it . The depth was between 209 and 300 feet , and of course immediate death would be the consequence of such an act of insanity . A man named John Anderton , . who witnessed the fact , informed tho Manchester police ( the pit being within the borough and near to . one ofthe public parks ) , and means- were immediately taken , and with success ,, to recover the body . The deceased , who was about 'five feet six inches hi gh , ' with g rey hair , bald at the top of the head , arid wore black waistcoat and trowsers with a brown cloth Taglioni coat , was unknown . A small sum of money ( Is . 2 | d . ) was found in his pocket , and the . causes which led to the rash act have not been
discovered . , AlfACK OF A LlOX OX A WOMAX IN A Me . VA geme . —An accident , very foolishly , arid incautiously brought about , took place at Wombwellls collection , at present exhibiting in , Birmingham ; on Saturday evening last . Amongst the crowds of holiday folks that the fair had attracted was a ; woman named Gruihmage , who , with a male friend , ' was making merry , feasting eyes and ears , and not adhering very strictly to the rules of temperance . The woman and her friend paid Wonibweirs establishment a visit , aid while there , she . began to stroke tlie paw of a remarkably fine but ilUtcinpercd lion . The keepers remonstrated with her , but she continued to pat the paw pf _ the quiescent and
apparently sleeping animal , when the lion suddenly started up , seized hold ofthe woman with his claws , and drew her towards the bars of the ' den . A fearful scream immediately startled every one in the place , and the greatest confusion prevailed . Some , supposing that the lion had broken loose , ' fled to . the doors ; others shrieked iri concert , and others again stood still in terror . Tkekeepers , however , immediately ran to the spot , arid found the incautious woman ' s hand and arm bleeding profusely under the paw of the enraged animal . She . was speedily released from the position . in which , , " she had
so foolishly placed herself , but not before the hon had lacerated" tlie arm , arid torn the skin ' arid integuments from the back part with its claws . The injured female was conveyed to the hospital . There it was discovered that the wounds she had sustained were of a more serious , nature than wasat first suspected , and , that it would be necessary to amputate the arm . The operation was accordingly performed , and home with much fortitude , ^ y the poor woman . She is going on favourably , . and expresses a resolution to " let sleeping lions lie ;" which may be followed with advantage by many others who have occasion to visit menageries , in future .

THE SKIBBEBEEN UNION . . The following deplorable picture of this locality already celebrated in the annals of Irish destitution , is drawn b > the Vicar of the parish ' , in a letter , to the editor ef ftmnders ' s News Letter . We give it in an abridged form . The communication is dated 28 th May : — " " Whrn I tell you that last year my poor rates for this " g lebe and house came o about £ 1 Is . -7 d . an acre , some idea may be formed of the . pressure upon us . N evertheless , our workhov se is feduced to such a condition for want of sufficient > r proper clothing that not capable in some cases' of being vr washed ( either " from the pressure s for- clothing or 'its tvor'ii state ] . clothes are handed to the incoming paupers to

I . heard the master . say , a . day or two ago he was refused meal for the paupers' dinner ; The state of our gentry may be . just guessed at from this one fact : Ikriow alandlordinlhis neighbourhood , who' in the day of our prosperity could put ; readily "dewh ^ l ' QOO' a year for his expenditure m will-doing fa most useful country gentleman

' I protest the conduct of the governraerit . in' inexp ^ cable . If responsibility'for a people ' s .: well-being was in a healthy state , ' they , would be , impeached , for every life that is lost in circumstances like ours for their cruel and hard-hearted policy . A union in a bankrupt state , treated as this has been by the repeated refusal , no * . ' of agiff alone , out . of the sum , the paltry sum of £ 50 , 000 , lately granted by parliament , but of a loan , arid riot only so , but the ; forced loan occasioned by the calamity of ' 46 , required of us iri our state of insolvency !
We are now visite'd'by"the Asiatic cho . era , the first , or amongst the first , of the victims to which I attended in the workhouse on the 18 th . It has come upon us wholly unprovided , hot only in bedding and clothing , but unprepared by any effectual corrective —I mean as to . a separate ; place for , the patient , or sufficient medical assistance—pennyless and forlorn —discarded and scorned , by rulers—our sufferings despised by . them , and disregarded—we are a doomed ptople ! . I " attended a person yesterday in malignant dysentery iri one of our hospitals , and while the hospital itself bespoke tbe . care with which all that depended on the nurse ( who is only pajd , ls . 9 d ., a week for night and . day ; work !) was kept , the lad
himself had on a shirty and was in bed-clothes that , for want of achinge , were the very essence of filth . As to the cholera , it has-put : on the worst fe-ttur / . of the complaint , and seines , to its , death . its victim without a moment ' s notice ; and to assist its ravages , we have but one van for conveyance of the , sick from the auxiliary workheusein the town to the hospital or , place appointed to receive them . The conser quence of this is , that . one lady , Jiving opposite one of these abodes .. of misery , lost her life by seeing the panpers brhmirig out another . in the disease on a la ldbarrow all . but dead ,: and . exposed to the gaze of the inhabitants of the streets they passed through to the sick houses . The mysterious .-poison seized her on the instant arid she died in a few hours .
. ' : " , " How our medical man . stands the labours of two hospitals , about a mile and half from each other , with the infirmary and four auxiliary workhouses , and his private practice ,. ! am utterly at a loss to conceive . Within the last few days , indeed , / another , physician has been employed ; ' but . where his salary w to come from is a question not easily solved . -But even he told rile to-day he must retire-from such a' scene of misery , where , for want of room or bedding , his cholera patients are laid on boards that form the floor of the hospital . At ten o'clock p . m . a -few nights ago I had occasion to sendfor theformer ¦ supposing one of my fainily . was being seized with this fearful plague . He came to me more dead than alive , exhausted by the fatigue he had undergone , being occupied at-the . workhouse for the ptevious ; .-twelve ' hours . He had just arrived at home tg rest , a * he thought , ¦ for the . night , when he received my message . . . ' :, . - , - ¦ ¦ " -
"When I consider the thorough change , that has taken place , in this unfortunate'district and town since 1815 , ( inwhichtliefirstbodingsofthe present ruin of us occurred in the partial blight of the potato ) , so entirely opposite to its then rapidly increasing- advance' and prosperity—all our storehouses along the river ' s edge ' then groaning with abundance of corn , butter , po tatoes , < fcc ., f > 'r exports ; and now see them all , with one or two . solitary exceptions , filled with paupers , instead ofthe produce their industry and active bustling energy gave us once , arid instead of earning by means of salutary employment , as aforetime , their own aud their fariiily ' sstibsistence through the medium of their own exertions , rating
out by thousands in unproductive listliness the very vitals of our existence , my heart groans within me , and the tear starts to my eye . as I so-row to think upon the wondrous and sudden change ; but more affecting still , the well--uspectecl cau e of stroke after stroke in " a-fruitful land being made thus'barren for the wickedness of them that dwell therein " Shops with a face trying to force a trade , but . without business , tliat-used in-otlier days to be crowded withpurchasers , and a multitude of wiling hands ready for occupation , hut no one to hire them ; all , all obliged to rest on a country for eleemosynary support , not producing , but sending out its life bkwd- exhausting its last remaining mite for foreign food : Alas ! alas for our deplorable reverse !
God forbid I should be ungrateful to those most benevolent individuals , in private ; who are still enabling me fi pursue my little plans of usefulness for my poor neighbours . By their' unwearied libe-. rality , I am able t > proving rations for severity , and latterly eighty , . children dail y at my schools , and through industrial- an i other salutary employments assist them to help their families at home . I give noihing but . in the . way of industry , except to the sick . ; It is vrielancholy the stiite of , destitution to which the poor creatures are reduced . One of the poir little children whom I had admitted died the other day troin his previous sfat . ; of want ,, as I am credibly informed , lie used to get sines his adm s-
sion his ration of . bread with the rest , but the poor thing was too far gone before he came ' to us . I regret hind the mor- ^ because , his poor faroily was so pirticularly neat ; iiissister has been some tiin ' e , at the Female Scliool , and even in rags . ' wiis . always , specially clean , and her ., two little brothers ; whom she brought at the ' timei mention . Another , with the little fellow that' died , were * even in the r deep distress , pictures of neatness , The still continued , -desire on the . part of . English friends to . assist me in clothingthe naked has / enabled me , to give a change of under garments to almost' every one of . ' . 'them besides the rations—these are dispens ' d as rewards . By these they learn the double lesson of washing and cleanliness .
Dublin, Satorday.—The Choleua In Duoi.In...
Dublin , Satorday . —The Choleua in Duoi . iN . r-The cholera has now taken its range through most parts' of ; the country , passing with comparative mildness over some places , hut in others leaving . behind terrible traces of its devastating poweiv The . epidemic has at length taken hold in the metropolis ; ; and there is this , peculiarity , that the deaths arc ' numerous—much more so , indeed , than in any other part of-the . country—amongst the middle classes . The local boards , of health do not publish lists of cases or deaths , probably from the judicious motive of ; preventing needless = . and dangerous alarm . Amongst the military , so far , tho deaths in proportion to cases arc very large in number . Up to yesterday afternoon the . number of cases in the Military Hospital adjoining the . riiumix TarkwasoSthe deaths were 35 . The 2 nd . lloyal Infantry ,. in
which the epidemic first appeared-in the close and dingy barrack in Ship-street , arc still under canvass in the Park ; ' and ' it'is from this regiment that most of the cases have been sent into , the' hospital ; - It is remarkable that all the cases of cholera oufc of the military prison near the Royal Barracks be longed to the 2 nd Royals , whilst , the prisoners belonging to other regiments escaped . ' There has not yet been a single case in the 40 th regiment , stationed in this city . The epidemic has assumed a peculiarly malignant ty pe m Dultlin , especially amongst . the military , and all the results of experience arc often found valueless in its treatiiient ; This niorning the accounts of cholera in the city are more favourable , - aiid fortunately there is little Or no alarm : .

Monday . —Countermano op the Order for the Removal of tue State Prisoners . —As I apprised you in my last the . State-prisoners were , . to have been removed by the Trident ' war steamer from Dublin to Cove , ' there to be p ' aced On board the convict' ship for . Australia ; The coriimander of the Trident had received orders to proceed from Kingstown to the entrance , of i the h ?\ rb , our at tho North Wall , in order to . take Mr . . Smith ; O'Brien and his fellow prisoners on . board on Saturday night , and have all in ' readiness '" for ' sailing at daylight on Sunday morning . -The prisoners had received the necessary official -intimation respecting their intended ; removal ,: and -they- had ,. in consequence , made all needful-preparations on . Saturday evening . A laraebodv of mounted'police was ordered to be
in attendance at Richmond Bridewell ; ' but about nine o ' clock counter-orders were issued to'the commander of the Trident , as well as to the police , and ! tho State ^ prisoners have since , remained in their old quarters . It appears that Mr . Smith O'Brien took steps to protest against the commutation of his' sentence to trari ' sportationfor life . * A copy of the order for his detention in Richmond Bridewell was required from the government / and hislcounsel , : Sir Colman O'Loghlen , was referred to the Crown-office of the ; Queen ' s Bench , where a copy of the . oi-der of that court was obtained , to the effect ; that'Mr , ' 'Smith O'Brien and his fellow prisoners should ' be kept in safe custody until removed by duo . course of law . "" Subsequently notices were served ; on behalf'of Mr . Smith O'Brien ,
upon tho Under-Secretary , ; the . High Sheriff of Dublin , and the Governor of Richmond Bridewell , warning thorn to hold their' ^ prisoner in safe keeping until he should be removed " by due course of law . ' It seems that none' ¦ of the other state ' prisoners adopted this course ; biifc- Mr . Smith O'Brien , it is stated , has obtained high legal opinion . . that : no commutation ofthe sentence , for high treason can take place . unless the prisoner should be a consenting party ; At ' aHevents , there has b ' eer i' a suspension of the order for the' rerhqral " of the ' state prisoners to the convict ship ; and it is now difficult to speculate upon . tho course that may be adopted regarding them . —Storming Chronicle . .

"Patrick O'Donohue , " ; The enclosed letter is as follows : — " Richmond Gaol , Dublin , ' June 11 , 1849 .
' ¦ 'To his Excellency , the Lord-Lieutenant , the Attorney-General for Ireland , T . N . ltediiigton , and : Win . Kemmis , Esqrs . ,: "My Lord and Sins , —Lest my silence should be construed into an acquiescence iu the sentence of transportation lorlife , communicated to me by your Excellency , I respectfully beg to inform you that I am not a consenting party to such sentence being carried into execution ; tho same being , as I have been advised by eminent counsel , unconstitutional and contrary to law . - " I am , my Lord and Sirs , your obedient servant , ' .... ' ¦ " Patrick . O'Donouue . " Wo have also . rccciyed a letter from Mr . - Meagher , iliformimr us that he also has forwarded letters to
the same effect to the same quarters ; so that , it is not '' some , " but all the "traitors" -who have refused to be transported . ' . Up to lust night no orders liad been received at Richmond Bridewell in . reference to the removal of tho State prisoners . ; -: The Evening Jlerdlcl thus notices tho subject : — " Wc arc informed , ' upon what- would appear sufficient authority , that Mr . ' & i ' t'Bi-ien ; contrary' to the expectation which had . latterly prevailed , has actually served a notice upon the authorities to the effect that he disputes , their right to remove him from the custody ofthe sheriff , and will not accept , the conditional pardon offered on the part of the Grown . A nice point is likely to be raised
in-connexion with this procedure . ' . It is argued thatthe Queen , having actually signed the warrant commuting his sentence , cannot now recede ; that the prisoner is actually pardoned ; arid that the condition of banishment cannot be legally . enforced . The effect of these positions , if established ; would be of course to entitle Mr . -sS : ; O'Brien to his discharge . ' ' The Times savs there is no longer any doubt as to the step taken by Mr . Smith O'Brien and his associates ; arid it is now ' olear that- some further delay must ' take p lace before the sentence of transporta ^ tion : can "be carried into effect . In brief , Mr . O'Bricii has raised ' a point ' , claiming a ' common law right , either to behanged ; or , the authorities failing to vicld tuatright / set atfull liberty to go whither
lie uliobscs . This piece of information was comliiunicated to Mr . " Rediiigtbri on Saturday evening last by Mr . Butt and Sir Cplirian O'Loglilcri , - in consequerice ' ofiwhich all the pi-opara ' tions for the ; removal of the prisoners that night ' to Spike ' Island were suspended , arid a'troop of Lancers , actually in thc saddle to act' as ' an ; escort from Richmond 'Bridewell to the quays , 'dismissed to their quarters .

The late Svrgeox Oarjiichaei ,. —The Freeman of this morning , says : — 'f Up to . alate hour on Monday evening no trace whatever had been found of tlie remains of this deeply regretted . gentleman . Tlie utmost activity and perseverance were ; evinced by the coast-guards in searching for the body ..

deceased the , sad ^ consolation having his remains rescued from . their watery tomb , and the last sorrowing duties paid them by'his fellow citizens . The riding whip which the' lamented ' gentleman carried was washed on Shore yesterday . Wc are concerned to hear that ithe . very delicate healt h '; of tbewidowed lady of the estimable citizen thus suddenly snatched away , has . sustained an alarming , shock . Repeated intervals of iiisensibility ) ' followed by sufterings most intense of mental agony , ' are said to have left but slender hopes of this poor lady ' s recovery . The whole neighbourhood around Ilowth seems to participate in the affliction of the deceased ' s family , whilsttheinccssaritinquiries . it the town mansion as ' to the disdoveryof the body , indicate the deep
regret of the public for the loss ' of this amiable and . distinguished citizen . " ¦ : ; Wb » n'esday , —The State Prisoners . —The Freeman ' s Journal of this morning states that " no further orders had been received at the . Bridewell last night in reference to . thoremoyal ' of the state prisoners . " : ' ''"• ' ;; ; Employment or the Poor . —It appears from the Mayo Constitution ^ that government have directed their attention , towards the necessity , of providing employrii ( jri . t ' -. by i-eprqductivo . labour for the peasantryof that wretched county , and for that purpose a sum of £ 100 , 000 is to'be placed at tho disposal of the = Board of Works , 'under whose auspices operations are to be commenced forthwith .
The following appears . m the Cork Examiner . of Monday : — " On . Saturday last . thirty-five in milch and in calf cows , the property of a noble earl riot living 100 niilos from Mitchelstown , were auctioned off on the lands of Claunkilla , for rent and arrears of rent , amounting to £ 400 ,: due to MrJ Mandavill , of Clonmel . It is a true signof the times to see the cattle of a noble earl , " the rent . roll of , whose property amounts to" £ 4 ' ) , 000 per arinum , " canted " , for tho paltry sum - of £ if ) 0 . The / amourit of ' sale was only about £ 150 , as the cattle were " a " very great sacrifice . " - . The body of . Surgeon Carmichael has not been found yet ; ' but one of the Holyhead steamers . observed a body floating but at ' sca ; it "did not stop , as the mail packets are riot permitted to do so except under particular circumstances . ¦
The CoorjWlV Estates .-On Tuesday , Mr . Littledale put up a . second time for public . competition . the estates of the Earl of Couytown , situate in' tlie counties of Killiennjr . and Kerry .. These estates had been offered by auction on the 10 th of May , ' but we ' re bought in r for want < f sufficient offers being made at the time ; The attendance on Tuesday , at . the sale-rooms , ' , Commercial-buildings , was large arid respectable , but ; cot a single offer was made for any " portion of the property , and the auctioneer then adjourned the sale sine die , stating that Captain Owen , the Earl ' s agent , would receive any private offer that mndit be made for any portion , or the whole of the estates . •' Thk Potato Blight . —The Banner of Ulster , of Tuesday , states that " the two or three cases of blight reported last week , in the neighbourhood of Belfast , have been satisfactorily proved to have been caused by frost , " > r -
Although the accounts which are pvenin the provincial papers represent the potato crop as exhibiting the most healthy appearance generally , still the disease has once mors manifested itself iu someloca-1 ties . The matter is placed beyond doubt by a letter from Mr . Hagan , one of the practical iustructprs . ' which appear * in the Evening Post of Tuesday . State of the ' Countis }' . —The indignation of the House of Commons at the proceedings in Kilrush , and other unions , will be much less influential in Ireland than Sir 11 . Peel supposes . Society here has lost its tone , and become callous and apathetic . People have ceased to wonder at anything . The cholera is not regarded with te-ror , and the most melancholv casualties—such as that of the death by
drowning of the eminent Surgeon Carmiiliaelhardly excites any attention . All families have been visited by afflictions consequent on the famine , - and the numbers that have been reduced to lower ranks of society , cause a feeling ot ' extraordinary gloom to prevail through our Irish community .. Of the provincial journals none is " so free from exaggerating the distresses of the country , as the Cork Constitution . And its testimony , as given in its number of the 9 th irist ., may be accepted as the truthful evidence of a candid witnvss : — " As to the peoplefor thexn , w ' efeir , the prospects have little cheer . Before the golden grain can gladden their eyes , millti'iidesofthem will be in tlwirave . In the south
and west tne description applies almost universally . We are no alarmists . We have never paraded the poverty of tlie country for tlie purpose of aggravating the misconduct of a minister , but woefully , are that minister ' s ears closed to the truth if he supposes that from one inadvertent error of a gentleman ( Rev , ; Mr-Anderson ) desirous of drawing hiV attention to the condition of the poor , lie is ri'arranted in inferring th-re is any sensibleexagireration in the sta'ements of tlie public journals . Exaggeration , in fact , there cannot be . The difficulty is to depict the scenes that pass before ' ohr eyes—to make the stranger , " or even the native who does not share as well as witness it , comprehend the intensity of the misery under which the people are wasting and withering awav . " -
A great reduction of rents is taking place throughout the country . The provincial journals of all parties cite ; 'numerous instances of rents reduced twentylive percent ., and in Eoriiecasesevenfifty per cent . The average reductions are about'thirty per c-.-nt . In the county Of Cork , the Duke of Devonshire has taken fifty per cent , off his renls . ; . Mr .- ' Wari-eh Hastings Judeson , 'in the same county , has done the same .

nw vuuurjiv .. A notification from the Board of Health appears in Tuesday night ' s Gazette , announcing the re-appearance of the cholera "in various and distant places in England , Wales , and Scotland : " - From returns which accompany this notification it appears that since the latter end of March , cholera has ' broken out in 12 different localities in the metropolis , in 27 towns in England and Wales , and in 17 towns in . Scotland ; and that in sevcrai of these places , as in Sunderland , Liverpool , Durham , Hitchin , Gloucester , Kcynsham , Rath . Merthy Tydvil , Cardiff , Kilbirnie , Galashiels , Kelso , and Pundee , the disease has continued to spread . Another fact is declared by those returns of great significance , which calls for the earnest attention of the local authorities charged with the ' execution of tho Nuisances llonioval and Diseases Prevention Act ; namely , that the attacks within the last twelve days'have exceeded those which have occurred during the preceding two months . .: ¦¦ ' - ' ¦'

Land Wati: Its Pouts. — During The Late ...
Land Wati : its pouts . — During the late heavy weather the neighbouring counties were visited byseveral of those phenomena , attended , in some instances , with very serious damage to property . One . which visited the city of Wells , in Somersetshire , is thus described . Between one and two o ' clock , p . m ., the people of Wells were not a little alarmed by a mass of water flowing through the streets , ami insinuating itself into their dwellings . An immense body of water , ' fourteen or fifteen inches in depth , iiowed down the lanes and avenues leading from Mewl . ip ; and all this time without lipparent cause for such a flood : there had certainl y been a smart shower , but not at all sufficient to
produce it After the water had somewhat subsided , another body deluged the streets ; but at length it passed off , and tlie people beganto inquire what injuyy ; had boon do-vie , and how the phenomenon was caused . " On-the road loading to Bristol , the road stones , ' sand , : and rubbish were piled up kiiee-dcep ; immeiise , ruts ' wcye , ploughed , " aml it was with difficulty that horses and . vehicles could . pass . In the lowlands sevcrai lambs were drowned , and at the siclcs of the hills whole , gardens , with potatoes ; uid . vegetables , - wcire washed away .. - . It anpears that the overflow . was- . caused b y a water spout , which was " ? # JE ; . ^* ' & V «» labourers ., to . descend first oa Pewn-bill and . traverse the Idoiidin , dsstrict for some miles .
