      1 DD 1 DDRESS OF THE LONDON TRADES' DELEm GATES TO THE TRADES OF GKUA 1 BI BRITAIN AND IRELAND-« Awake , arli ., or to for ever fallen 1 » 23 ^ 2 A * . Kr n ^ wfhit minnin c fundamental principles , which we have tfoptfopted after long and serious deliberation , as being lest test calculated to extricate aU classes of the comiranhunity who live by indushy , from their present teefiegraded and prostrate condition ; and we earnestly gcorecommend the Trades throughout the empire , to use ise no time in concentrating the intelligence , the mergiergi . es , and the means they possess , to carry out hos & ose great and important principles which we proteose as the basis of a great National Trades

      IInhjkion . 1 . 1 . That the land being the gift of the Almighty to the jhe people universally , ought to be held in sacred [ rusfrusthythe State for their benefit , and not beex" usilusively possessed hy a fractional part of the ifflittomnronity ; 2 . 2 . That the elective franchise should be extended io en every man twenty-one years efage , of sound mind itndind uncontaminated by crime . 3 . 3 . That education should be secured by the Govemmement for the people ; and that such education , on ! he he part of the State , should be of a strictly scientific imrUnd secular character , without in any way interfering iiritwith the rights of parents to give such religious iniitratructioa to their children as they may think fit .

      4 4 . That those laws which restrict the expansion Bf of the circulating medium should be repealed , and a ireprepresentative currency forthwith issued hy the Igogoverament , equal to the amount of wealth offered iin in exchange . 5 . That as Great Britain and Ireland contain a isusupersbundanceofland , skill , and capital , to profitfitably employ and comfortably support more than dcdpnble the present population , the government shshould introduce a bill establishing self-supportiag HHome Colonies , to give immediate employment to tithe numerous but compulsory unemployed of our pt population .

      6 . That the application of machinery should be n made , available to the interests of the whole comn munity ; and that foreign manufactures , as also goods B jnade in prisons and workhouses , ought not to be int traduced into the home market except upon such C conditions as will secure the tradesman and artisan ffronv the ruinous consequences of unequalled C competition . 7 . That for the just protection of labour , local 1 boards of trade should he established , composed of j an equal number of masters and men , under the l superintendence of a Minister of Labour , whose i office would be to give an impetus to the industrial i operations of the nation , and act as an impartial arbitrator between employers and employed . 8 . That taxation should be equalised , by substituting for all other taxes a graduated property tax .

      These are the principles which , in onr opinion , ought to form tbe basis of a great National Union ; and we now call upon the Trades of Great Britain and Ireland to unite in one firm and indissoluble bond , and carry out the objects propounded in the foregoing constitution . We have placed as the first proposition the universal right of the people to the sail , as we are strong in our conviction that the usurpation of the land is the primary cause of the distress under which the mass of the people are now suffering .

      Yes , let it every where be proclaimed in the most solemn aud positive manner , that there is no hope 'whatever of any real amelioration in the deplorable condition of the workmen of this country , so long as the land remains locked up from their labour , and they are driven from the bosom ot the soil which ought to yield them sustenance and support hy their industry . As the earth is the great primary source from whence is derived all that is useful to the comfort and sustenance of man , we demand that we shall he permitted to labour on our country ' s soil for the production and distribution of wealth requisite for our subsistence , and the surest node of increasing the national prosperity and resources , and imparting solidity and security to the Commonwealth .

      We demand that the elective franchise shall be extended to every man who has attained the proper age to exercise the rights of citizenship , as the only ineans by which labour can obtain a fair and equitable protection by the legislature , in common with all other interests of the community , and that the male adult population of Great Britain and Ireland shall no longer be treated as outlaws by the constitution of their country . We are strong in the belief that the virtues or vices of a nation are in a great measure the result of its legislation , we are Convinced that the wisdom of the empire can be best collected in the legislature by a complete representation of the people .

      We a e deeply impressed with the belief that ignorance and poverty are the parents of crime—the evil counsellors that wage continual war against the peace and progression of society , and wholly incompatible with a well-governed state—the safety or prosperity of the empire , or ( he happiness of the people . We therefore declare , that it is the duty of the government to secure a real practical , scientific , and secular education for the people , as the only m ans of fully developing the genius and inttl' . ect of the nation , and rendering it subservient to the interest of the whole community . Since it is decreed hy the organic laws that govern the constitution of man , that the mind is inseparable from the body , and that whatsoever tends to oppress the one is equally injurious to the other—and as the body can

      only receive strength and support from the fruits arising from labour , as the mind receives knowledge and vigour from instruction , it follows that a suffident proportion of aliment for each is indispensable to the rational existence ef man . We furthermore declare , that it is tbe doty of a government to afford every facility to the people to provide for themselves useful employment ; and as we believe that would be best effected by the establishment of self-supporting Home Colonies , we therefore urge the Trades of the United Kingdom to impress upon the government the necessity of introducing a Bill into Parliament to sanction the formation of those industrial establishments , as the best and most profitable means of providing useful employment for the people .

      We have bestowed much consideration upon our money laws , and we pronounce them to be most pernicious to industry , and fatal to the best interests Of the nation , We therefore declare , that what we iequire is , a currency that will enable the community at large to be accommodated with an instrument of just and equitable exchange , and not continue to be systematically plundered by the unnatural fluctuations in thevalue of money , in relation to the articles for which itis exchanged , arising from the restriction and usurpation of the circulating medium , which invests the monied power with the secret and subtle mechanism of the moat iniquitous usury and peculation .

      YY e next appeal to you as thinking men , and ask you whether there be not something fearfully wrong in that state of society which systematically converts workmen into prisoners and paupers , and employs them in their degraded position in the manufacture of articles which are brought into the market to compete and reduce to their standard the industrious workmen , who have struggled to escape these living catacombs of human misery in which their unequal competitors . are confined . Behold , then , in that , the cause of our declaration why goods made in prisons and workhouses ought not tobs brought into unequal competition with the tradesman and artisan !

      Having said thus much upon the main features of the fundamental principles of the constitution , we now call upon you to unite with all the earnestness of men who have consecrated themselves to their redemption . Recollect , yeu must he the instruments of your own regeneration ! If ever there was a time in the history of your country when union was required among all classes who live by labour , the present period above all others demands you should unite . Bear in mind , yon have but one of two alternatives to choose . You must either consent to allow youraelves and your children to be the victims of the

      most subtle and systematic oppression that was ever concocted—or you must unite and hold the monstrous system up to public scom and indignation , until the tmanimous voice of the nation proclaimsit shall beno raore . Forget not the golden maxim of Lord Bacon , that 'Knowledge is Power , and Union is Stbength . ' Be it also understood , that it is only by a concentration of the knowledge , the means , and the energies of the Trades of this empire , that they ^ Y- be emt odpated ; and ] t « equally eeriain that whfle they lemain disunited , they will continue to be enslaved . Believeus , it is no vain appeal that we are constrained to make to you in this the unpa-

      1dd1ddress Of The London Trades' Delem G...

      ralleled epoch of our country ' s oppression . Wa call aloud with one unanimous voice to the genius of British industry , and bid it arise and know itself , and behold that the impious hand of privileged and selfish legislation is upon it , and threatens it with destruction , which can only be averted by union , aud a correct knowledge of the causes by which it is enslaved . Finally , we ask you . in this our concluding appeal , whether you are prepared to sit down tamely and look on with indifference at your own destruction , while all the nations of Europe are ma-1 king such gigantic strides in the great and glorious manumission of liberty . If you are , then we tell

      you frankly that you justly deserve the fate that awaits you , and the execration of future generations . But we have far higher hopes of the men of the Trades than that . Our aspirations are far beyond the regions of despair . Let the oppressed take courage , and the innocent cheer up . If you will only unite , all will yet go well . Unite , then , without delay , and you may rely upon the energies and devotion of the Teadbs Delegates . Signed on their behalf , James O'Leaby , Chairman , \ m A . E . Delafobcb , Secretary , ] " p N . B . All communications addressed to the Secretary , atthe Craven ' s Head , Drury Lane , will receive prompt attention .

      Soioim.— The Rev. William Browne, Ot St ...

      Soioim . — The Rev . William Browne , ot St Jobs ' * College , Oxford , and curate of St Stephen ' s Swinton , one of the suburban district * of Nottingham , a gentleman who waa highly respected ia the nelghbonrboo 1 , committed suicide on Friday last by blowing his bralus out with a pistol under very melancholy clroumttanees . A mas of evidence was heard before tbe coroner ' s inquest , aud tho jury retnrneii a verdict oi « Temporary Insanity . ' The Gmoow Catastbophe . — On Thursday week , the gable walls of Mr Wilson ' s sugar boose , at Alston-Street , being so fur removed as to admit tha renewed operations of excavating the ruins , workmen were again employed in . clewing away the rubbi- h ; In the course of their labours , the remaining body , that of Thomas love , wm disinterred from among the mass , to a very advanced state of decomposition , and Immediately claimed by hia UBfortunsta widow .

      A Mah Feuttn n » A Lwe-Khh . —On Thursday a man name * Wood , having occasion to go to the llme-kllns in Holly lane , he looked Into the kiln and saw the body of a penon named Robert Arkell lying on the lime stones at a depth ef about five feet from the top of the kiln . A fire wat burning at the time , aud a good deal of smoke atlstag hut there was no flame . Wood called for assis * tanoe , and a policensan and some other persons arriving , the body was got oat . The deceased '* clothes were not at aU burned , bat there was a slight mark on his ohetk . Arkell was employed to break stones at tbe kiln , and It Is aopposid that he fell in while about his work . An Inquest was held on the body by J . Lovegrove , Esq ., tke deputy coroner , when the jnry returned as their verdict that * The deceased was found dead in a lime-kira . '

      Fioodb . — The waters have considerably decreased , owing tn a great measure to the favourable winds which have been blowing from the west . A length of time most elapse before any quantity of seed corn oan be got Into ( he ground , with a doubt of its being- sown at allln some parts . The stop page oflabour is severely felt ; numbtrs ef men ere thrown upon their parishes by ths total cessation of the works on the Great Northern Ballway , Jin the county of Huntingdon , where hundreds of acre s are under water . From one small village alone fifteen applicants appeared at the Board of Guardians

      oa Saturday last for relief . Unfortunately this happens at a time whea the farmers cannot employ their regular number of hands en account of the wet weather . Many mechanics , too . are thrown of employment , perhaps for the winter , to this we may add , from the tame cause , a general depression of trade . Should the late rains be followed by sharp frosts , the greater pert of the turnips and coleseed on lowlands , we much fear will he destroyed . A respectable farmer residing In the neighbonrhood , who has fitly acres of coleseed standing on land which had been manured with bones , does not think the crop will realise £ 3 , owing to the inundation .

      Stsauua Detbedatioh . —A few days ago two human skeletons , apparently the remains of athletic young men , were discovered hy some workmen employed npon an excavation on the WhiteWen and Eornera Rdlway . They were found lying close together , In an enclosure about eighteen inches below the surface of the earth , and about fifty yards from high water mark , with no remains of any buttons or other remnants of wearing apparel near them : It i » supposed that the bodies most have been buried there for thirty years . The remains were examined by Messrs Lawson , of Egremont ; bnt whilst preparations were making for the decent Interment of the skeletons , both of them were stolen , and no clue has yet been obtained as to the parties engaged In that singular and mysterious depredation .

      CoiusionomtheIancabhbbahb Yobkshibb Railwat . —Oa Friday week an accident of a very alarming character occurred npon the above line . The express train , which leaves Rochdale for Manchester at twenty , five minutes past three p . m ., and Is due atthe Middle , ton station on the Oldham Junction at forty minutes ptstthree , cameia sight of the latter station at its usual time . Whilst going at its full speed , and just before reaching the points , the engine driver noticed a coal train in front of him , Seeing that a collision was Jnevitable , he immediately shut off the steam , and tried to make tke collision as slight as possible . The engine , however dashed into the fifth waggon of the coal train , smashing it into a hnndred pieces : at the same time the engine tender and the whole of the carriages were more or less shattered . The waggons of the coal train were

      also forced off the line , and the passengers in the express train ( about forty In number ) were all thrown from their seats and driven against each ether . A lady and two gentlemen were severely Injured , and one party had several of Me teeth knocked out . T he other passengera escaped with braises , more or less severe . The accident was owing entirely to the mismanagement ef the driver of the coal waggon , who , when he saw what had taken piece , took to his feet , and made his escape . His duty was to have waited for tbe express train to pais the points before ha ventured on the line , bat in spite of the signal which was put np , he seemed determined to risk the lives of the passenger * as well as his own . The police were immediately sent in search of the driver . The passengers , after waiting nearly two boors , were taken to Manchester by the Oldham train .

      Ihcehoiaby Fises at Ststok . —About two o ' clock on Friday week a fire wss discovered in the stack-yard of Mr S . North , and a stack of clover , one of straw besides a waggon , were entirely consumed . A stack of hay ad . joining , belonging to Mr D . North , soon caught fire , and was aeriOBfly Injured ; bnt part ot it was eared , owing to the exertion of the inhabitants , with the assistance of the Sjiton fire-engine and fire-men . —About an bonr after the fire broke out in the stack-yard another fire was discovered in a stack of hay , ahent half a mile from the stack yard , and also the property of Mr S . North , proving at once that it was tbe work of an Incendiary , bnt owing to the number of stacks in the yard the

      firemen and inhabitants dared not leave until the fire was q arte ont in the yard , daring which time the other stack was rendered quite worthless , although they had sue ceeded in extinguishing the fire , after some hard labour and cutting the stack in pieces . —About the same time tho second fire was discovered some wretches entered MrS . North ' s premises and stole property to the amonnt of £ 140 , besides clothes , parts of which were dropped by the way as the thieves made thilr escape . We traderstand Mr S . North ' s property was insured , bat his brother '! was not . Nocluebasyet , thatwe can learn , been obtained asta the perpetrators of these diabolical deeds , —Leicester Mercury .

      ExTSAOtDIKAZJ ClBB OF SfFPOSZD GAMOT-USmtO ., —At AshbritUe , for some months past , a quantity of carrots have been taken from a field belonging to the Rjv . J . Turner , and in order to detect the aggressors a reward was offered to any person who would give sneh evidence as will lead to the conviction of the effenders , bnt without success . On Saturday last the Rev . 0 entleman set two men to watch , and about eleven o ' clock three perioas , attired in female costume , were observed to enter the field . One of the watchers immediately ran to Mr Turner ' s house to give an alarm , and that gentleman ,

      with his son , went towards toe field , the latter having a leaded gnn in his hand . In the meantime the thieves had made off . They were , however , pursued , overtaken , aad captured . One of the party , finding that all hopes ef escape had vanished , pitifclly begged for mercy , en the ground ! that she ' was a very poor woman , ' and very nsar her confinement ; but greatly to the astonishment of the Rev . Gentleman he soen discovered that , instead of being a woman , the person was a man in woman ' s clothing— an indlvidnal who ought to deserve the character of a respectable farmer ; and the other two , who were also in female attire , were his men servants .

      Mkjakchoit Death sr Chiobofobh . —A few days ago Mr Carruthers , a gentleman of fortune , residing at Donaonnt , Annan lost his life from the incautious application of chloroform . It appeared that the deceased was afflicted with asthma , and having fonsd relief from inhaling the subtle vapour , bad frequent recourse te it . Being as expert angler , and extremely fond ofpiscatorial recreation , he sometimes employed himself rather late in adjusting his hooks and making artificial files . On Tne'day morning week be was found sitting at the table apparently following this occnpatlon , in the position in which his servant had left bim en the preceding night , bnt it was soon discovered that the unfortunate gentleman was quite dead , and to all appearance life bad been extinct for some hears . On the table was the evidence of the fatal occurrence—tho handkerchief which he had used in applying the chloroform to bis month . His death forms another melancholy instance of tho folly of employing suck dangerous agents for the purpose of obtaining a temporary relief from pain .

      RrPiKEurATioN of ms West Riding . —A meeting of the delegates from the several polling districts , con . Voned by the executive committee , was held on Friday week at Wakefield , to receive the reports from the several districts . F . Carbatt , E-q ., the late Mayor of Leeds , presided .

Fifewillienj .

      Soioim.— The Rev. William Browne, Ot St ...

      is unsatisfactory to the delegates present , and they oan . not recommend theeleetort to give him their support , ' The executive committee , consisting of the delegates from Leeds , were deputed to wait upon MrFlizwllllam to make known to hia this resolution , and to request him to retire from the candldatesbip for the repreienta . tion of the Riding , so as to make way for a gentleman who'epol ' tical opinions were more in accordance with the views ef the gentlemen who met at Normanten on the 17 th September . The election is fixed for tbe 23 rd instant , and the writ has been issued by tbe Speaker of the Home of Commons ,

      ArraiBHSion or A Cliis . vol Ehbizzukut , —On Thursday week , George Breary Jaoksen , late a clerk in the employ of Messrs Pearson and Co ., Marsden Square , Manchester was apprehended at the Amphitheatre , In Liverpool . The prisoner absconded from Manchester on Saturday fortnight , taking with him £ 500 whioh he . longed to his employers . A portion of tbe money ( £ 300 ) was recovered , being found at his own house in Manchester . After leaving Manchester , the prisoner was traced to Dublin , and thence to Liverpool , where he was taken by Inspector M'Mnllen , of the Manchester policeforce , and conveyed to Manchester for examination before the magistrates .

      Atbocioos HionwAi Robbebt . —On Monday week , as Mr George Bllm , a farmer , redding ot Brlnswortb , in the parish of Rotherkam , was making his way homew . rds , he was attacked on the Tlasley road by two ruffians , wio knocked him down , and robbed him ot his w « tch and iti appendages , Atthis juncture , it fortunately happened that some persons came in sight , on perceiving which the ruffians ran away , leaving their victim on the ground in a helpless state .

All the public offices and places of business and most of the retail establishments were closed , the shipping in the harboar , dressed oat tn the colours ef all nations , fired salutes throughout tha day , the bells rang merry peali , flags streamed from the steeples , and the streets were crowded by holiday-seekers . The scene has been altogether a gey and joyous one . The most attractive p & rt of tbe holiday ha-t been an exceedingly imposing procession , in which the mayor and aldermen , the members in Parliament , the corporation of the poor , the Society of Merchant Venturers , the meglstrates , the different public companies , and ths various trades took part , Tbe procession , which was accompanied by numerous bands ofmnsio , banners , dec , perambulated all the principal streets of the city .

P ., of Prestwieh , treated six widowers , whose united ages amounted to 501 years , to an excellent dinner and supper , consisting of beef and plum padding , at the house of Mr Peter Beswluk , farmer , Camberthsw , near Heaton Pork . After the cloth had been drawn the eldest , in the eigbty . ninth year of bis age , named Thomas Thorpe , a gardener who never weighed more than 1301 bs „ was appointed chairman , and tbe

We learn that several years ago » n old woman was

      condemned to banishment for life from this island , for an attempt to polsen the family of a Mr Jacobs , and it was added In the act of conrt by which she was sen . fenced , that if evtr she returned to tho island she was to be hnng and quartered according to the most approved custom of Terrlen . The old lady has returned , and is actually in the Town Hospital at this moment . The Queen ' s officers are therefore rather at a nonplus , and have consequently applied to bis Excellency the Lieutenant Governor to procure her a free pardon , hot npon what ground it would be difficult to state , except on ( he same as that of Mr Smith O'Brien . —Guernsey Sun .

      Imcehmabibm . —Information has been received by the Metropolitan police that two wheat stacks belonging to Mr 8 , Blokley , Lima ) , Salop , had been set on fire and totally consumed ; also that the farm buildings ef Mr G .

The house was then ransacked , and several articles of jewellery carried off , the party making good their escape , and no

      knowledge of the deed was obtained till the family returned from church . A reward of £ 50 has been offered for the discovery of the offenders , and two men were shortly afterwards apprehended on suspicion , one being a man named Hyland , who was en ? aged in sacrilegiously enterlng St Leonard ' s church some time ago .

He met him a second time , nhen Mr Lee who had £ 80 in cash on the table at the Palatine before him , employed him to get bank-notes for fifteen sovereigns and requested bim to eeehim again at the same place o ' n tbe 6 th instant , when he gave him a cheque on SirBeniamln H * ywood and Co . ' e hank , whioh was for £ 53113 . say lag he would have the principal turn In five £ 100 notes and the balance In gold , at the same time giving him a bast to put the cash ia . This singular statement is confirmed to some extent by the fact that a gentleman calling himself Lee has several times been at the Palatine , with whom the prisoner has had interviews . It is also stated that this Mr Lee left tbe hotel on the d . h instant , soon after the prisoner , wearing a pair of large green spectacles , which he had not on when he entered , so that it is possible M'Coimiok ' a has been the fellow's cat ' s-paw in the matter , and that , after watching him

It appears that the suspicions of Mrs Carry , which had been awakened for some time past , were confirmed on Sunday night , by bearing the cry of an infant , and on proceeding down stairs tbe found that the hack door had been opened , and after corroborative proofs , which induced her to send for a policeman , wbe , after a minute search , found the body of a new-horn child in the privy . The unforinnate mother is very ill . She has been in the service of Mr Carry fer the last sever years .

      THBBATBlfin BBSCDB Of IBB STATB PBIIOMBBI . The Cionxbx Chboiuols says ;— . ' We regret exceedingly having cause to consider that there are some grounds for fearing a repetition of insurrection , and a disturbance of the public peace of this cennty . This town was thrown Into a state of the greatest excitement on Thursday week , about nlae o ' clock in the evening , by the police running from their lodgings to barracks , where the greatest bustle was going on , getting under arms and preparing for some this g extraordinary . At half past ten o ' clock a patrol of about twenty men marched ont of the barrack and went over the Old

      Bridge , to the Waterford side of the river , and about eleven o ' clock a large body of constabulary , tegether with a detaobment of the Gitb regiment , under Major Duberly , the entire body under the command of Col , Pennefather , proceeded to the Wilderness , a sort of wood abont a mile and a half from Clonmel , where they came upon a body of fellows numbering between ore snd two tbonsand men , several of them armed , who were drilling in a field . Whea they saw the military and police force , they separated and ran , but the police gave chase and captured seventeen . One of them , named Noouan , a gardener , in trying to ef cape , was so closely pursued that he leaped from a high proj-oUng rook to a tree , from whioh be fell to the ground , where be was fonnd by Snb Inspector Brew in a senseless state . Tbe

      priseners arrested are all of different trades , and the leader of the movement is a Mr O'Leary , of Tlpperary , a student preparing for the Roman Catholic church , or at some say , tbe bar . The military and police returned In the morning about three o ' clock , bringing with them the prisoners . Mooaan , the man who leaped from the rook , is seriously hurt . The belief is , that several hnn . dred men were holding , or to hold a meeting In the Wli . derness , and to march on the town ; and also , that Bevln Rellly andotherleadersarein this neighbourhood stirring up Ihe people to Insurrection , the ohject of which is admitted to be the resone of Mr O'Brien and tbe other oonvictt , either from tbe gaol , or on their removal

      to Dublin . The latter it the most probable . S « ri * us rumours have come in to-day of the neighbouring localities being prepared to rise in Mulllnahone , Sllevenamon , & o ., but no fact hat oome to our knowledge which would warrant us in giving any credit to them . The following lethe Hat of persona captured ;—Patrick Burke , farmer ; Cornelins Lonergan , labourer j Thomas M'Nnlty , labourer ; Thomas Dunn , labourer ; Jamet England , mason ; James Fenelly , labourer ; John MUea , publican ; John Walsh , corn dealer ; James Cnnnlngham , mason ; Maurice Walsh , labourer ; John O'Leary , stu . dent , T . CD . ; David Ryan , farmer ; James Brennan ; Edward Flnnane , painter ; John Noonan , gardener ; James Egan , shoemaker ; John Scan , shoemaker .

      The prisoners were examined hefere Mr W , Ryan , the resident magistrate , and folly committed , From the nature ol the several reports which have reached town It is very certain that a well . organistd and extensive plan exists in this neighbourhood and the adjacent localities , having for its object the resoae of Mr O'Brien and hit co-traitors , either from the gaol or else daring their jouraiy from here to the railway station at Tburies , on their way to Dublin . The route to Thurles would be throngh the heart of those districts which were the scenes of the former attempts at rebellion—the distance about twenty-three miles , The authorities appear to have information of tbe whole plan , end are prepared to meet the emergency , should it ever arrive . The gaol guard has been reinforced .

      orrosmotr to root bates , Tho same paper contains the following statements which forebode a troublesome winter : — ' On Wednesday , the 8 th of November , Mr J . J . Shce , poor-rate collector , and a posse of bailiffs , went near Two Mile Bridge for the purpose of distraining for poor-rates , where they received the greatest opposition from the people ; having distrained some cows , and being about to move into town , the people surrounded them—men , women , and children—and swore that the cattle should net leave the place ; the greatest excitement prevailed , and one man raised a shovel and threatened to knock the head off the collector if ho persevered . Things beginning to look serious , the collector despatched a mounted messenger into Olonmel for a police force , which soon after arrived

      under that efficient officer , Sab-inspector Fosberry . The people gave way when they taw that the collector wat supportid hy the police , and further aelxures were then made ; in some Instances tbe ( beets bad to be taken eff tbe poor people ' s beds , and stitched np at bags to hold the corn , which was fonnd hidden under beds and heaps of straw in the cabins . In some cases , however , security was given , and the corn left with tlio people . The bailiffs were often in a very perilous position ; and had not the police arrived as soon as they did , there it no saying what the result might have been . The collection of rate is going on here at such a pace that not a day passes without a distress auction of goods and chattels at the Main Guard , Every day there is a sale .

      TUB ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE MB UOOBE , The subjoined proceedings are reported in a Oavan paper ( the Anolo . Celt ) : — ' Oa Tuesday last , Mr William Armittge Meore , Arnmore , called a meeting of Lord Annetley's Dramlaae tenantry at his office in Cavan , to address them on the recent infemont attempt made upon his life . Shortly after twelve o ' clock , about 200 persons had assembled , when ( our reporter being present ) Mr Moore addressed them from the steps ef tbe deor , the people gathering round him , in tbe following terms : — ' I have celled you together ( said Mr Moore ) to speak of the shameful and daring outrage whioh was committed upon me on Friday last , I appointed to go on that day to your noighbenrhooi to receive rents . I did this f > save you trouble , and not to drag you from your business into Cavan . When on my way , near Baker ' s Bridge , two fellows attacked me , and thought to take away my Hie ; but tnreuga the merciful interposition of G od , their design was frustrated . These fellows were your

      emissaries , paid hy you , and ao-. ing under year orders . Yon imagined that , by murdering me , and sending me into eternity with all my alas upon my head , that you would not hare to pay your rent ) . But you were mistaken , lTou did this after my living ten years with you , and spending upwards of £ 10 , 000 amongst yon , I advanced you loans out of my own packet of from £ 5 to £ 35 each —is not this true f ( Several voicos : ' It is , it is . ' ) Wat it for this yon sought te murder me ? or was it for procuring an abatement of fifty per cent , npon yonr two last years' rent S I went amongst you In year distress , more like a pedlar than anybody else , distributing blankets and giving clothes ta your children—and was it for this you seught to murder me ? I purobaied msai in large quantities when It was dear , and gave it to you— , the most of it for nothing—and tome , to those whom I thought able to pay , at half prlca , the greater part of which money has never been repaid me ; —I ask you , was it for this yon thought to murder me !'

      < A great many voices cried out' Shame ! eharaei It is every word true , ' ' You were always a kind landlord to us , ' ito ., one voice louder than the rest exclaimed ByG— , it la a shame 2 and Mr Moore tolls nothing but the truth l ' ' Mr Moobe continued— ' I went to Dublin and purchased agricultural seed , and gave thorn out in pounds aud ounces , according as you required them . I encouraged you to mako improvements in yonr farms , and assisted you with all tho means in m > power—and was it for doing so you assaulted me on the high road , in early day , with intent to take away my life i I was armed at the lime . I had this pistol which I now hold

      in my hand , and would have shot the fellow down , hut that I bad it in an inside pocket , sot expecting an attack . When I-shook off my outside coat and mufflers , the fellow and his comrade were too far distant for me ta hit them . Now , I tell you , I will go down among yon ; bat for the future I wilt go armed , yes , to the teeth , and compel you to pay your rent . And I tell you farther , you shall never get one shilling allowance until you drag that ruffian to justice ; you have him secreted , and you know where he is . Not one of you but owes mo frGtn four to ten half-year ' s rents—can you deny this !' 'A Voice . — 'We cannot . '

      ' Mr Moobe resumed . — ' Other tenants , poorer than you , have paid np their rents , and for my leniency to you this is the return I meet . Since last June sessions I had these orders of the Court in my possession ( produolng % bundle of decrees ) to distrain for rent , bnt

      I wonld not pnt them into execution . No ; I did no Hke to take your cows and your pigs , I preferred waiting until you disposed of your crops , that you might pay me up by little and little ; and now that you are dlipos . Ingofthtai , andthttlgotoseik for payment of your debts—for a landlord matt live at well as another man " you attempt to murder me . I de not speak of my exertions in your behalf , and ef my forbearance to earn applaate , bat I de it io order that the pnbllt may judge of your Ingratitude , ' 'Mr Moors wat here interrupted with exclamations similar to those above , the tenantry declaring that tbey had always found him kiad and indulgent ,

      ' Mr Moobb . — ' The outrage ef which I complain It a disgrace to your neighbourhood . Yon thought to palm it upon the wretched creatures of Mudwall Row ; but they never did it ; tbey knew nothing about it ; they are wholly innocent of It , That disgraceful and murderous act wat concocted in yonr Ribbon Lodget at night , whea honest mm shoald be sleeping In their beds . If yea want toibootme , give me a chance for my lift-, and I will stand out before you . I will face the ballet of any man only let bim give me & man's chance . You bad your men ready , and you hired them , Oae of them yeu have at present covered ; new , unless you bring forward thlt fellew and deliver him into the hands of the authorities , I will pat every one of these decrees into foroe before twenty-four hoart . I am now ready to re . ceive rent from those amongtt you who are ready to

      pay . ' 'Mr Moore then retired Into the office ; some few followed , apparently to settle their accounts , but the majority went away . ' ATTEMPTED MOHDSB . On Saturday last Mr Daniel , a magistrate of tha county Westmeath , was fired at near Kllooman , while driving in his gig . The shot took effect in the left shonlder . A second was fired which pasted over hit head , and heetoaped lo Olasion , the residence of the sub-intpeotor , where fl ? e baUs were extracted from hia eboutdtr . His escape is attributed to the gun being too heavily loaded to take effect at ibe distance .

The exhibition of farm produce on the premises of the Reyal Dublin Society demands more than a passing notice at our hands , although , on tbe present oeoasion , we can do little more than direct attention to it . On entering tha thed , which hat recently been erected oa the lawn of the seclety for the purpose of the exhibition , the spectator cannot fail to he struck with tbe amazing tie of the tools arranged before him ; and when he comes to examine a little mora closely , and finds that the produce ranges from sixty te eighty tons per Irish acre , bis astonishment is still farther Increased . Specimens of white carrots are exhibited , grown by Mrt Brans , of Portrane , the produce of which , per . acre , Is stated at sixty tons , the weight of a dozen of the roots being 39 lbt . The Altringham carrots exhibited by Mr Durham , of Portrane , produced on a blowing sand near tbe tea-tide , reached forty tons per acre , a dozen of tke roott

      weighing Sllbt , The S wedith tnrnlpt exhibited by Lord Cbarlemont , and grown at Marino , near this city , reached fifty tont per acre .

We regard these exhibitions si of very great importance , showing , as they do , what our proverbially fertile soil can be made io produce under skilful management , The returns shown by the above and numerous other exhibitions are net greater than could be produced on most of onr soils of medium quality , under similar management ; and It any considerable proportion of the arable land o ! the country was brought to this high state of productivenets , what a change wonld be effected in the condition of oar people , — Dublin Advocate .

An agricultural school , under the National Education Board , will , we understand , be ahortly opened in tbe neighbourhood of Atby , through tha instrumentality of the Duke ef Lviasttr . The advantages of such an instl . tation must prove en infinite service to the district generally .

      The Court of Qaeen ' s Bunch was occupi ed on Monday with the case of Martin in error v . the Qaeen , Sir C . O'Loghlen opened the arguments , relying principally npon the following potatt : —Firtt , that the caption ef the indictment It bad , as it does not appear therein when or where the grand jury which found the bills had been swtrn . Secondly , that tbe counts of the indictment are bad , became of uncertainty , the t * o last not setting forth the printing charged . therein . Thirdl y , that the challenge to the jarer Buff was a good challenge : and , fourthly , that the sentence is bad , at no pe . nal colony or other place of transportation was named

      therein . Sir Colman was followed hy Mr Perrin for the Crown , but tbs argamems were not concluded and the ceurt adjourned till Tuesday . The close of the proceedings discloses another difference between the practice of the courts here and those of Westminster Hail . In England when the subject complains of the Crown , the subject , like the plaintiff in oases between two subjects , has the * last word , ' or the right to reply . In Ireland , tha right , it seems , belongs to the defendant , the Crown , dm of this kind ought really to be con . ducted like other oases , and it does seem , in the words of Mr Justice Ptrrin , ' very Irish' to prevent the complainant from summing up the arguments .

      The arguments In the case ware dosed on Tuesday , and judgment was postponed . Habeas Corpus writs were moved for in tbe Qieen't Bench , Dublin , in the oases of Messrs O'Brien , F .

Tbey were granted , and the argument in Mr O'Brien's case , is te commence on Moudaj next ,

The medical officers oi the prison did not , however , consider bis case so dangerous at hit frlendt had represented it , being merely a severe attack of asthma , and recommended that he should be removed to the prison hospital . This course Mr Lalor stoutly resisted , doubtlessly relying upon the power of extreme nnctien and priestly influence to effect his liberation ; and the result shows that he hat not been disappointed .

      The correspondent of the Mobnino Chbonicle sends the following exposure of the so-called intnrreatlon at CiosmeJ .

      BTSTB OF TUB BOOTH , I have ascertained that the official aad other accounts described all parts of tho southern province as totally free from any movementi of an insurrectionary chs . racter . There are indication * of agrarian cr . me in tome districts , which , in all likelihood will become mnoh more decided as tbe winter advances ; bnt the system of political organisation , that had been so rampant in July last , seems to have evaporated , and rebellion and agitation areata sad discount . The spirit , no doubt , survives , and the materials of discontent and disaffection still exist , hut they have been so crushed by ihe recent proceedings , so many families have suffered ruin , and the entire prospects oi the disaffected have been so utterly absurd and chimerical , that all confidence in B « ch movements is destroyed , and norebellion . monger oan now find an audience .

      The recent ' insurrectionary movemsnts at Clonmel ' are now admitted on all bands to have been a monstrous exaggeration , a mere paper plot—worked ont inylorlously to produce a temporary alarm . H is curious that the affair excited net the slightest apprehension in Clonmel—nay , it caused very little attention . One of the principal Qaaker merchants of that town has been in Dublin for some days . Whon the account of the * insurrection' arrived on Friday hat , he was utterly Ignorant about it , and , because he received no intelligence on tbe subject , he was disposed to regard it as a false alarm

      unworthy of the least attention . However , the merchant wrote fer information to the firm with which he is connected ; and yesterday he received a repl y to tho effect that the matter was altogether so trifling as to be undoierving of terieus notice ; that a number of foollth people had certainly been arrested ; but as their whole armament consisted of a s ingle pike , in a town with a formidable garrison , tho affair was only remarkable for lis ludlcrousnetB , especially as the local authorities had been all along fully apprised of every step taken hy the brainiest people now In custody .

      or the coomti jbbt msts FjtnxA . :- Ataoourt of magistrates held onyester-M ' ! , lDta , 0 / 3 Ti 8 e , hfl i « y « "ts of the count , of Dublin , it was found that the provisions of the act of parhamenthad not been compiled with , which pretcrlbes that tho list of persons returned by the baronial cess col . lsotorsas qualified to he put upon the jurors' book should he lodged with the elerk of the peace for the inepectien of the public three we-. kg before the day of re . vision , The consequence was that the Court was adjourned , and directions were given to the clerk of the peace to have a ease on this subject laid before the law

      officers of the crown , with tke view of making as appll . tattoo to the Lord . Lleutenant to issue a warrant for tbe purpose of having a special court of revision bald , whea all the requirements of the law should be compiled with , It is believed , but we know not whether the grounds of such belief be well founded , that the discovery of this error will have a retrospective effect . Some think * it likely that tbe tame error hat been at the bottom of all revisions of jury Ilstt made in the city and county for a length of time , and that the men who ' tried ' the state prisoner ! were not jurors at all in point of law .

      NEW ArrOMTHENTg .

      disguised as a seaman , that bit appearance never excited tbe slightest suspicion . From Smyrna he is said to bare gone to Constantinople , and from thence to Paris , where he remains at present , No leat narrow Wat the escape of Mr John Dillon , upon whose bead there was set a rewtrd of £ 380 , and whose active participation in the late rebellion , more especially in the affair at Kit lenaule , rendered hit capture a matter of grave Importance to the Government , Previous to fait flight to America he tpent teveral daye in the town of Gal way , habited at a clergyman of the Church of Rome , awaiting the departure of a vestel bonnd to New York . One day , however , while quietly perambulating the streets , he perceived , by an earnest stare from a patter by , thathe was recognised fc-y a party whose acquaintanceship he considered would be more dangerous than serviceable at so critical a period . Taking the alarm , he took a boat on

      THE LATE INSURRECTION , AND IHB COMING WINTERlinBRATIOM OF 1 ¥ . IAMB—TBIAL OP C O . DDFFT —THB PROTESTANT JUBUEB MEETING—EMIGRATION AND ORANOEISM .

      ( From our own Correspondent . ) Another Irscbbectiov ia Tlpperary ! Verily , we are again getting to ba the mest chivalrous people under the inn . Nothing will satisfy us , it wonld teem , but a recurrence to the old Celtic system , under whichwhen the native princes bad no sooner withdrawn their battered and half murdered clans from the territories of one enemy , than they prepared to enter those of another , There uat something in tbe wind on the night of the 9 h last ., and there wat a ' hosting' of malcontents In that wild nelghbouthood— » The Wilderness , ' near Clonmel , Tbe papers will give you the particulars , ai . though , by the way , there ere at many conft ' ctlsg stories told retpecting It , as thtrfl are abont the ' Great Sea Serpent / ar the exploits of the celebrated

      rapparee , Daniel 0 Leery . But , however , the fact is—thst there was a comiderable gathering of armed peasantry in that piece called' The Wilderness' last Friday night , and there can ba scarcely a reasonable donbt bat their oVjeot was an attack on Clonmel gaol for the rescue of tho state convicts ; The authorities , however , had ' timely warning , ' and were adequately prepared to meet such a foray , and to overwhelm tbe insurgents teo . Such ill-judged desultory freaks as these can bring only further theme on Ireland , and ruin to her still remain , ing liberties . ' O ' Brien and Meagher have now a good chance of their liberty through the very probable success ol tbe Writ of Error which has been moved in their favour , and those Saxon-haters shoald avoid tbe commission ef any insane deeds which ma ; have a prejudicial effect on the minds of thou men hi whom that Writ of Error will be tried .

      But the ' Wilderness' affair it only a preliminary to many others of the tame character whioh we shall have during the coming months of winter , Ireland will soon become one vast theatre of Insubordination , crime , murders , robberies , and resistance to the laws , The trafoituaate people cannot avoid these things . Starvation is already cemmenolng its work of destruction ; and as the psatantry have now no hope from the priests , O'Connell , tke Whigs , or 'the war , 'they will stop at ne excesses—baulk at the commission of no crime , how * ever monstrous or revolting , Ireland will be a bad bargain for the English dnring many a coming year , and if * , like the proprietors of Cabs , they could manage to get her off their hands on any sort of fair terms , it certainly wonld be the best thing they could do with her—unless , indeed , tbey could dispose of the Milesian sloek , and still keep possession of the Mloeian soil . This , certainly , would ba a far more advantageous spec

      There Is not muo ^ Important news in Dublin . Many ef those persons arrested here daring the reign ol 'De . tectlvism , ' have been liberated on ball within the lost few days ; and I am told that Mr James F . Lalor—one of the best writers of the Felon — is to be liberated this day . However , be owes this faveur more to the humanity of bis medical attendants than to the grace of the government , Mr Lalor was dying , and his physicians stated that if he was left any longer in confinement , he coald not live more than a very few days , It is said that C . G . Daffy will be sent for trial to Clonmel , where tbe Attobmt Gbnbbai . will be sure ot a conviction . I have no doubt of tbit , for I always knew , and said , that of all the men in Ireland , Mr Duffy wat the most hated and dreaded by the English goremmmt , and that they would put the quielus , upon him by book or crook ' . And they will do It , If possible , for they know that wherever Mr Duffy might dwell a free man , he would be a powerful foe to the Saxon till tho day of his death .

      Yon b & ve read of the proceedings at the Protestant Jubilee meeting In the Rotundo , a few days ago This was amongst the most disgraceful matters which occurred in Dublin for many a day . It will be remem . bered by the readers of the Nobtbun Sia \ , that about a year ego , I communicated the details which took place between theProtsssant Archbishop of Dublin and that wretched fanatlo , Thrathem Oregg , whose ridionlout conduct haa long made him the butt and laughing-stock of every decent man In Ireland . On that oeoasion , ihe Archbishop of Dublin defeated Gregg , and having

      ousted him from an usurped Chaplaincy In this city , Gregg ' fhrr his kite' to London , where he lives at present , though nobody oan exactly tell how he manages to keep body snd soul together . Bat ever since the low Orange x % * » ble—the beggarly wearers of the Coombe , and the pious old shirt-makers of St Peter ' s parish—hare sworn eternal enmity to DrWhateley , and never lost an opportunity of ponrlng forth their filthy abase on his Most Reverend head . On the day in question—the 2 nd inst . —there was a meeting of ail grades of Protestants held in tbe Rotundo , to celebrate the 50 th

      • . ualversaryof the Church Missionary Society in Ireland , The Archbishop was voted to the chair b y tbe entire of the clergy and respectable persons assembled , but his appearance wss tbe signal for one of the moat vagabend displays of bigotry and ruffianism that ever was witnessed in Dublin . The Greggites-who mustered pretty strong for such a ' miserable minority' of Dublin Protettants—took fire ; ay , burst forth ia a veritable blaza of holy enthusiasm . Headed by a low TfietOb , ft tatonff , fromLseson Street , tbe , SBBBiled the ArOubllhop SB If he was a mad dog , and continued their vagabondism , untd he had to vacate the chair , and finally retire from the assembly . Subsequently , this mean creature ascended the platform , and was oommenelng a furious rigmarole against Maynooth , the National Board , and Archbishop Wbateley , when a policeman soized him by the neck and dragged him off to SackvllleLane station , nousfj where a few hours confinement left him leisure to reflect on his ruffianl y conduct .

      The tide of emigration still rollt outward with In . creased rather than diminished impetuosity . Notwllhstanding the dreary winter weather , the cold aktes and tee wild teas , Piddy is leaving the ' ouldsod , ' old friends , his ' father ' s graves , ' the poer-rates , and ths poor-rate collectors behind him .
