      Ijx F ^Fr Feiesbs,—Irish Diplomacy Is Sa...

      ijx F ^ fr Feiesbs , —Irish diplomacy is said to consist of 4 ^« j « ori andablow , " and but very short breathing rtae aflWaJtowid between than : at all events not suffi-^ t ti STt time for thought . I never mean to deny that tsoses fjsess a good deal of that sanguine temperament jj ^ jj ^ imvcountrymenarereniarkable . Youmus t lit lft however , that I have not been very precipinTal fte " althoug h I have been enthusiastic and sanguine I an tl ! La the Land question .

      \'< \ 'ow . I know that , boasting as you are , energetic « i « von arc about moonshine , —enthusiastic about shil strili ^ , ami pK > ud as you are of the insignia and CEilt paUcitta of your trade , —yet you are dull as swine on sil i si ) matters that do not promise a fascinating result Dr 1 pnxiicfirstSaturday night after you have experijae jaentalised upon them . In fact , you require to be lid jiiiden with " whip and spur , " even while you are ru 3 nfflw « S f ° r vout own stages- You will not be & feoug lit tobelieve that one " not of your order" can p gfi yride , pleasure , and honour inserang you . You lo look with unbecoming suspicion upon all who ever

      ti rental * to offer & suggestion for yonr benefit . In { J tie acceptance of advice yon are high and aristocj cratic ; while in submission to tyranny you are d (^ veiling and mean . You are afraid of each other ; j you are jealous of each other ; you are suspicious of { each other ; you hate each other : you call yourselves i democratic , whileyon areas mudi governed by theold ! Tory system of ascendancy as the country was daring the palmy days of borough-raongering ascendancy ton must beinvited to serve yourselves : nay , indeed , otuers mnsi serve yon , before yon canbelwoughtto trv to serve yourselves i and hence we see this jjgfloaly—the finest , the ablest , the most strapping , asd individually best educated people in the world , irovernedby a handful of puking , puny , half-be ^ ottcn , pale-faced cripples , became tkey are exited .

      When I see the stunted son of an English aristocrat made up of high-heeled boots and a tall helmet , like a Jack-in-a-box , with a swordby his side , upon a prancing steed , while honest men are starving in imrkhouses , it makes the heart sick : and yet you , snd YOU ONLY , are to blame for the anomaly . Iocs disunion constitutes their strength . 'Tis true fcat they can nnite over the one mess-trough Their cause of union is in the compass of a nut-shell —in the exchequer supplied by the proceeds of yonr

      labour . Are you not fine heroes to sing " Britons never shallbe Slaves I" while you tolerate such a state 65 things ? Well , " hut you can't centralise your inducements to union , " says some one . Yes , but you tan ; or at least I will point out the way . You have seen the Laud plan propounded in ' the Northern Star Ion have seen what may be accomplished by an expenditure of £ 5000 npon the land . It is impossible that that sum could be lessened by one farthing , even if the experiment totally failed ; and yet you must be driven , and driven hardly to its adoption .

      Let mc now sec if I can drive you . If the Trades , as a body , or any one of them , will advance £ 5000 to tm the experiment , four gentlemen , friends of niiue , governed by confidence in me , will add £ 500 cadi , or . £ 2000 to the capital : and the largest amount of interest now procurable for money will be guaran teed iifion the £ 5000 before any is demanded for the £ 2 lKH ) . That is—my friends will add the additional security of £ 2000 to your £ 5000 ; or , if you prefer sa 8 iag upon equal terms in the same boat , they will euarantec to you no less than four per cent , for your

      £ 5 » Jft 0 , with the further condition that youshall share equally and equitably in the general proceeds : that is , you may realise eight , ten , or twelve per cent ., or « ven more , while at the same time you locate your smplus hands on the land : and should the experiment evcn / at 7 , you will be guaranteed four per cent . for your £ 5000 , and ample security for the repayment sf the capital whenever you think proper . And further , the whole financial arrangements , such as purtfcase of land , expenditure for buildings , & c ., can be tested in officers of tout own appointment .

      Sow I think that this " Wow" at the Trades of England has not precipitately followed my first " words" on the subject : bntl have determined that the "blow" shall be struck . This is one object riiieh 1 place before the Trades : but to secure the more extensive development of the plan , it will be necessary for them to devise some national plan of ergani = ation in the forthcoming Conference . So far , then . I have attempted to "drive" you into the possession of social happiness ; and now I present you witu an intellectual " spur . " I am anxious myself to acquire knowledge on all Trades matters . The Trafe themselves are greedy after it ; but

      nnfortusaiely , the great variety of tastes and diversity of interests have hitherto kept all in the dark . It is , Wrer , necessary that the Trades should have one commou text book ; and as I cannot write that myself , and as we ought to possess it , I propose to give a prize of £ 15 to the writer of thebest essay ; subject" Best mode of accomplishing a thorough organisation and union of the Trades of Great Britain and Ireland , as a means of protecting their labour against kgi & ure interference and fte power ef capitalists : " the sereral essays to be submitted to a committee of

      tauten , elected by ballot , from , the delegates constitnting the next General Trades Conference , to be IsHen in Loudon : the essay to be the property of the cnited Trades Association , and to be published for fca- benefit . The several essays to be forwarded to Mr . Barrett , General Secretary , on or before the 29 th of July next , with a sealed letter containing tie address , whereby no name save that of the successful candidate need appear , and by which means the judges wul La ? e no knowledge of the name of any of tie candidates until they have decided .

      "Wis , my friends , I offer two " spurs" to propel W in the . social and intellectual race ; and the stake , * hen you reach flic goal is , " a fair day's wage for a fedarg work . " Your faithful friend and servant , Feahgls O'Coxxob .

      France. Curious Political Arostasr. — We...

      FRANCE . Curious Political ArostAsr . — We take the following from the Herald of Wednesday : — "The writers in the Paris papers of Monday appear to be much excited on account of the political desertion of the famous Viscount de Connenin frora the ranks of the Republicans to those of the Ultramontane anti-University party . It was M . de Connenin , who , under the name of Timon , roused the country against the project of a dotation for the Due do Nemours ; and now behold him enlisted under the banners of the church . His fierce invectives against the University have caused universal astonishment . The Government papers , recollecting the pamphlets

      against the dotation , expose the tergiversation of Timon , with a view to depopularisehim ; the anti-Jesuit papers denounce mm as an apostate ; the Legitimist and parti pretre journals are in an ecstacy of delight ; the papers of all shades talk of Timon , and of nobody or nothing else for the moment . The Pope has found a champion in the extreme left , or Republican section of the Chamber of Deputies , and it is asked , Is Timon mad ? Is he bought ? Is he corrupt ? & he sincere ? Has he turned monk or Jesuit , or become religious in his old days ; or is he only out of humour , or does he want to astonish ? Is he cheat , or charlatan , or devotee ? At all events Timon has mystified s very ingenious public . "

      O Coxnell and the Fsekch Pbess . — The Journal des Debate , of Wednesday , contains a long article upon Mr . O'Connell , descriptive of what it calls the puerilities with which he strikes the imagination of Irishmen , and joining in the utter scorn with which that person has inspired the impartial lookers-on in all countries . The Debats exposes the beggarly motives by which the Irish agitator is earned away , dismissing him with expressions of the utmost contempt . The following is an extract from the article — " What has become of the grand hero of repeal ? He has gone to have some sporting on his property or he has invented some new puerilities to strike the imagination of his Irishmen . Thus he has organised a club in honour of the declaration of independence

      of 1782 . The object of the club is to encourage the national manufactures of Ireland , and therefore its members are only to be clad in native articles . Theuniformiscomposed of a green coat with a velvet collar and gilt buttons , bearing "the figures of 1782 in a wreath of shamrock , white waistcoat , green trousers , black satin cravat , and white leather gloves . It is in this costume that Mr . O'Connell displays himself on the days _ of meeting of the 1782 club . Such are the puerilities with which he occupies a whole people ; such is the way in which , so to speak , he plays with those great children of Irish , whom he reduces more and more to the state of moutons de Panurge ! O . ' the fine political education J the admirable school for a people aspiring to govern themselves ! In truth , if such experiments were not inadmissible , the best mode that Eng land could employ to cure the Irish of their

      desire for Repeal , would be to accord it to them tor some time , and leave them to themselves . Then would be seen the fine works which would be effected by a national parliament , an independent parliament , a thorough-bred parliament . History tells as what it was in the last century , and it would be the same thing again . In p lace of forming part of processions in the open air , in place of making a show of himself with Ills green coat and white gloves , Mr . O'Connell would have done much better to proceed to his post in the House of Commons , to defend Ireland and her national religion , and to give his support to the ministers , who were risking the Government in order to render justice to his country . Bat he knows that in the House of Commons his big-mouthed eloquence would not be suitable ; he likes better to sit and make his perorations in Conciliation Hall , where there is nobody who dares answer or contradict him . "

      , SPAIN . Triumph of Priestcraft . —The Espectador contains the following : — " We are assured that the concordat has arrived , and that it is on the following bases : —1 . All the emigrant bishops are to return to Spain without being required to take the oath to the constitution . 2 . In each provincial capital there shall be two convents in which the monks shall reside without distinction of order . 3 . The Government shall provide the buildings for this purpose . 4 . The support of the monks shall be provided by a canonical tax of 15 per cent ., to which the purchasers of Church property shah * be subjected , and it is only on this condition that they shall be relieved from the excommunication that now hangs over them . 5 . The

      vacant dioceses shall be adnuBisteredby ecclesiastical governors , to be named , not by the chapters , but the bishops of the nearest dioceses . We do not guarantee the news , but it is communicated to us as very positive . It is said that the Government is doing all in its power to prevent these conditions from transpiring , but it is so embarrassed at this unexpected news that it is probable the occult power will influence it and induce it to submit to the demands of the Pope . " The Herald of Tuesday contained the following : — Our accounts from Madrid are to the 11 th instant . On that day the simultaneous arrival of two pieces

      of good news tended to fill the Court and Cabinet with joy . A dispatch from Rome announced that the long-looked-for concordat had been signed upon the 27 th ult . The concordat is based upon the solemn recognition of Isabella as legitimate Queen of Spain , as well as the recognition of the validity of the sales of the Church property . The second piece of intelligence was to the effect that a commercial treaty had been ratified by the Emperor of Morocco , which puts an end to all fear of hostilities with that country . The Chamber of Deputies had passed the budget of receipts as well as the project of loan for the improvement of public roads .

      PORTUGAL . Lisbon , Mat 12 . —The patriarch of Lisbon , Car dinal Saraiva , died on the 7 th inst ., at the advanced age of seventy-nine . His funeral was attended by the Queen and Court , who were present at the church of St . Vicent de Fora , in the vaults of which the body was deposited . On returning , the horses which drew the carriage containing the Queen ' s ladies and gentlemen in waiting , took fright and ran down a steep descent , before getting to the end of which the carriage was stopped by being dashed against a wall Both the postillions were thrown off and much hurt , and Don Manoel de Portugal , the Queen ' s Chamber lain , had his arm broken . The following curious occurrence took place last week ;—A small steamer ( the first ever attempted in Portugal ) having lately been made at Oporto , the engineer , Mr . Wylde , together with several of the

      English residents in that city , proceeded in her on an experimental trip , intending to go asfar as Yiana , which is about fifty miles distant from it . Finding when they had got hah ? way that the vessel had not power enough to make head against the strong northerly wind which had come on to blow , they tiied to run into Villa do Conde , but not being able to do so , they turned back and ran for Oporto , where they could not enter , in consequence of the high sea there was on the bar . They then put out to sea again and disappeared , to the great consternation of their friends on shore who had no tidings of them for three days after , and naturally gave them up for lost , which , indeed , they were within a hair ' s-breadth of being , as all her coals were consumed , and it was onl y by burning her paddle-boxes , bulkheads , and cabin furniture , that the luckless experimental steamer got into Figuera at last .

      - SWITZERLAND . The Cantos of Vaud . —The New Cosstiiutiox —The Great Council of the canton of Vaud met on the 12 th inst ., and commenced the debate on the new constitution . M . Druly took an active part in the discussion . The first clause was adopted , and is to the following effect : — "The canton of Vaud is a democratic Republic , and one of the States of the Swiss confederation . The people is sovereign . " The Zurich Gazette states that considerable hope exists that fte life of Dr . Steiger will be spared . According to the constitution of the superior tribunal ,

      seven judges out of eleven , without including the President , mustagree toa capital sentence . Several petitionshave been presented inhisfavour . There was one against him , but it caused such an expression of disgustastohave done no harm . The new Grand Council of Lucerne was to have assembled on Monday , the 19 th , and the . first motion it would have to consider was a request from the Executive Council for an act of grace in favour of Dr . Steiger . At Berne , a coach belonging a man from Lucerne , was seized and burned , and in the canton of Argovia excesses of the same kind are described as of frequent occurrence .

      The case of Dr . Steiger was heard by the superior tribunal at Lucerne on the 17 th . Dr . Steiger made an eloquent defence , but the tribunal confirmed the sentence of death that had been pronounced upon him , by a majority of seven to three .

      PORTUGAL . Mbrbebs . —A Judge of Right , named Joao Lopes Calheirosde Monazes , has been shot dead at \ illa Pouca de Aguiar , in the north of Portugal . It is a " strange coincidence" that , about a month ago , this same judge should have been the subject of a rather violent article in a Ministerial jounftl , in which he was accused of very anti-Ministerial and Radical

      conduct , relative to the approaching elections . It is pretty certain , however , that amorous , and not political intrigue , has been the occasion of his violent death . Blood-thirstiness is not a characteristic of the Portuguese people , yet latterly murders appear to be greatly on the increase , owing , perhaps , to the inefficacy of the jury system in a southern clime . One , of an unusually foul nature , came to light recently in this city . It was that of a young and unfortunate girl strangled by a medical student . The motive for the deed appeal's to have been the robbery of some chains and trinkets in possession of the poor creature . The murderer was taken in his native province ( Algarve ) , but afterwards escaped from his guards , and the exertions of the civil authorities in that lawless neighbourhood ( all friends and relatives of the murderer ) have made his escape successful . —limes .

      PRUSSIA . The Infamous Prussian- Despotism . —A letter from Berlin says : — "M . Bauer , the political and theological writer , was arrested here on the 3 rd instant , and thrown into prison . The immediate motives for this incarceration are not known ; but , as M . Bauer had appealed against a judgment condemning him . to three-and-a-half ysars' confinement for an offence against the laws relating to the press , it is believed that his appeal , having been rejected , he has been thus compelled to submit to the punishment imposed on him . Still , as this sudden enforcement of the few is an almost solitary instance , it has created great sensation . M . Bauer is a communist , and has still to answer two impeachments against him ot leze-majesty and exciting to contempt of the law .

      SWEDEN AND NORWAY . Stockholm journals of the Cth instant have just come to hand . They state that the Supreme Court has unanimously declared against the equal division of inheritances ; in other words , in favour of primogeniture . On the other hand , it has refused to sanction the privilege claimed by the nobility over the states , on account of the above decisions . The fapers also announce the arrival at Stockholm of iieut . Colonel Ehrenhof , the Swedish Consul General in Morocco , who brings with him the treaty concluded with the plenipotentiaries of the above state for the suppression , for the future , of the yearly tribute of 20 , 000 Spanish piasters , hitherto paid by Sweden and Norway . The treaty was concluded at

      Larache ( El-Araiscli ) on the 5 th of last month , through the mediation of England and France . In the archives of the kingdom of Sweden an autograph letter of Martin Luther to the Archbishop of Mayence and Magdeburg , under date of Oct . 31 , 1517 , has been discovered . It declaims against the sale of indulgences by Tetzel , the head commissary of the above prelate . The back of the letter bears the following lines : —" L ( item ) DoctorisMartini ordinis Saneti Augustini ad Damnum nostrum rimum ( revcrendissimumj apertw in Calbe ( apparently the city of Kalbe , in the Magdeburg district ) , per consilarios feria tertiapost Briccii anno , " « fcc . ( which corresponds with Nov . 17 , 1517 . ) The contents of the letter differ in many respects from the printed copy ; this is attributed to the difficulty of reading the writing .

      Stockholm , May 9 . —A famine is generally apprehended in Upland . The Captain General of the district lias requested the local authorities to inform him of the necessities of their vicinities , and to mention the securities they can offer for the repayment of the sums advanced for their relief . According to the last report of the bank , it possessed in silver and bullion the sum of 3 , 310 , 000 specie , or 8 , 826 , 000 rixdollars Swedish banco . The remaining active of the bank in outstanding claims ( including 15 , 231 , 000 rixdollars for discount ) formed a capital of 30 , 515 , 000 rix-dollars ; total 39 , 341 , 000 rix-dollars . On the debit side appeared the sum of 20 , 190 , 000 rix-dollars , including the sum of 19 , 743 , 000 rix-dollars in notes . The standing capital of the bank is consequently at present 10 , 151 , 000 rix-dollars .

      CIRCASSIA . Accounts from Odessa of the 18 th ult . state that the Russian government was daily sending off warlike stores towards Circassia . The different corps of Russian troops on this side and beyond the Caucasus are said to amount to 150 , 000 effective men .

      SMYRNA . ( From tie Correspondent of the Malta Herald . ) April 23 . —Persons in Europe , on reading the jouraalspublished in Smyrna , will be led to think that Turkey is wonderfolly . jmproving , and that since the establishment of the new police , housebreaking & e ., does not take place so frequently ; but they will be mistaken . They must not give so much credit to these mercenary productions , inserted at the expense of the Sublime Porte , for the purpose of deceiving Europe . All the articles respecting the flourishing statejof the country are false—housebreaking takes place every week , and the country is in as lawless a state as can well be . A band of robbers , to the number of thirty or forty , attacked a village a few

      days since in the suburbs of Smyrna . Some four or five of the inhabitants were murdered in defending themselves ; the Aga was tied to a tree , and severely bastinadoed . After they had plundered all they could , they left , and have not since been heard of . In the interior of AsiaMinor , about a day's journey from Smyrna , the farmers are in a deplorable condition ; whattheir fieldsproduceis either swallowed up by the avidity of the government or the iron-hearted capitalist . The interest per annum is from 50 to 70 per cent ., so you may imagine what is left for the poor husbandman . The village of Guvendik has been the theatre of a horrible crime . Two Turkish houses were assailed

      by a strong band of armed robbers ; after plundering them of afl the money they could find , they murdered a man , his wife , and two children , in the first house they entered ; also another person who came to assist the unfortunate creatures . In the second house , belonging to Dervish Ishmail Effendi , they found upwards of 25 , 000 piastres , in silver and other articles , Ishmail , and another Turk who came to assist him , were left dangerously wounded . A Greek was also found dead , but it is uncertain whether he was killed by the robbers or by the Turks themselves . There is areport from Beyrout that there has been a fight between the Druses and Maronites , and that several have been killed .

      BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE . ( From the Liverpool Times , May 20 . ) By the Rio packet Penguin we have received accounts from BraAl to the 2 d of April . The Mowing Is the principal news which they bring : — Mr . Ouseley , the new Minister of England to the Argentine Confederation , arrived at Rio on the 31 st of March , on board her Majesty ' s steamer Firebrand . It was expected that he would proceed immediately to Buenos Ayres . Before his arrival , most of the English vessels of war on the Rio station had sailed to the river Plate , where the united naval forces of England , under Admiral Inglefield , and of France , under Admiral Laine , were amply sufficient not only to show General Rosas that the intervention of those countries was serious , but to prove it both to him and

      his Lieutenant , Onbe , in the most decisive manner , if they should persist in rejecting it . Brazil has a still larger force in the river , which will also act if it is necessary . Admiral Grenfel , who formerly commanded it , and has been removed for engaging in an ill-timed quarrel with the Monte Videan authorities , has arrived at Rio . It is now under the command of an officer who understands the wishes of his own government . The infant son of the Emperor , the heir apparent to the Brazilian throne , had been publicly baptised rath great splendour . He received the following liberal allowance of Christian names : —Alfonso-Pedro-Christino-Leopoldo-Felippe-Eugenio-Miguel-Gabriel Raphael-Gonzaga . The Wark the Baxda Oriental . — The following is a copy of a letter received from Monte Video , and brought by the Rio Packet the Penguin : —

      Monte Video , March i , 1845 . Having nothing more to say on commercial affairs since my last , per packet , sailed three days since , I avail myself of the departure of Admiral Grenfel , for Rio Janeiro , to give yon the extraordinary news that has reached us through themediusft of alaiHetinof the enemy Some time ago we learnt by way of Bio Grande that Rivera was about the 28 th January on a river called the Taguari , with about 4000 men ; and General Servando Gomez , with all or the greater part of General Urquieza ' s eavalryin front of him , and an action was expected . AM at once , on the 13 th of February , (' -onera ! Oribe published a bulletin containing a report made to Urquieza by Colonel Dionicio Corenel , which he commences by referring to a former commuiiir . ition oftheSthofthesame month , in which he says he « -. irned Urquieza that Hivera

      wasadvancing ; and then adds , that he ( Birera ) had made his appearance in front of CVrro largo on the eleventh , and had remained until the eia hteenth , when he continued his march with the main bod . in direction of Maldonado , leaving a rear-guard ot 400 uu n , which remained until the night of the 22 d ; and neither up to this date nor even next day , when Coronela dates his dispatches , does it appear that either Urquirza or Servando Gomez ventured to approach Rivera , or make any attempt to relieve Cerro Largo , Coronel states Rivera's force to be 4000 fighting men , and a convoy of 200 carts , and families to the number of 6000 souls more , making in all a mass of 10 , 000 individuals . Now a body like this can only move at snail ' s pace , and cannot have evaded the enemy's vigilance by rapidmarches ; and wecan only suppose that either Rivera had disengaged himself of Gomez by defeating him , or that his force ( which , ac-

      France. Curious Political Arostasr. — We...

      cording'to the bulletin , comprises both infantry and artillery , with plenty of new arms , and an immense supply of ammunition ) , is superior to those of Gomez and Urquieza united . The general opinion is that Gomez was defeated on the 7 th , and that the accounts of the 12 th February , from Rio Grande , which first brought us this news , are fully confirmed by the inferences to which General Oribe's bulletin necessarily leads . From a person who was yesterdayon board Admiral Brown ' s vessel , I learn that the Admiral had received orders from Oribe to send two vessels of war to Maldonado , as Rivera was marching on that place j and it is supposed these vessels will bring away Don Ignacio Oribe ' s division , now reduced to about 800 men . Rivera will be joined in Maldonado by

      Friere ' s division of about 10 . 000 men , and if before this junction he carried all before him we may now soon expecUosee him j'e-occupy the position he held , in June , 18 i 8 ; and that Urquieza and Servando will be driven , in upon General Oribe ' s encampment , and in thiscase both British and Brazilian intervention will come to ^ late . The demorahsingeffect of Rivera ' s advance seems already to be felt in the enemy ' s camp . Onthelstj six deserters came in , and yesterday eame four more . As this news is all derived from General Oribe ' s own bulletin , it can most certainly be relied upon , and will , 1 should think , at length fully convince you of the correctness of my opinion , constantly expressed , that in the country Rivera would ultimately prove victorious .

      Extract from another Utter , Monte Video , March , 1845 . lp the treaty between Brazil and Paraguay , the former binds-herself to use her influence to obtain the acknowledgment of the hitter ' s independence , and to employ all the means in her power ( lodos lw medios g « e « tan o ser afcance ) to seen e the free navigation of the Parana , There is no doubt that the effect of this treaty will be eventually to create a rapture between Brazil and Buenos Ayres , without the further and equally serious entanglement occasioned by the Banda Oriental , but I believe this Paraguay treaty to be only a part of the preparations made by Brazil for the struggle which for some time back she must have seen to be inevitable between her and Rosas .

      Sawyebs' Strike.—Several Of The Master S...

      Sawyebs' Strike . —Several of the master sawyers of Glasgow and neighbourhood have agreed to the increase of wages asked by their workmen , and a number of the men have again resumed their wonted employment . Strike of Farm Labourers . —Last week the labourers at Nether and Over Compton , Dorset , were informed by their employers that their wages would henceforth be reduced from fa . to 6 s . a-week . The reduced wages were offered to the Nether Compton men on Saturday night , but refused , and on Monday morning , as early as six o ' clock , the men , who had arranged their plans , started off in a body to the residence of the landed proprietor , taking with them

      the Over uompton men , who ( their wages not having been then curtailed ) had gone to work as usual . The men , to the number of thirty or forty , passed through Yeovil , and after some arrangement made with them , returned to their work . It appears that at an audit or two ago the landlord took off 10 per cent , from his tenants' rents , but at the last audit he put on 5 per cent , on that amount . The farmers declared that they were unable to pay an advanced rent on these terms , and to continue the same wages as formerly . The consequence was the reduction of the labourers ' wages as above stated . The tenants are willing to pay the men at the usual rate if the increase of 5 per cent , is taken off . The matter is at present unsettled . The tenants are determined not to give the customary wages unless they obtain a concession from their landlord . —Globe .

The present union , which originated only about a year ago , is the first attempt of the kind which has ever been made in connection with this particular trade ; and if it is Mowed out with a conjoined prudence and spirit , it must in many ways produce most beneficial results .

White , who exhorted the men to be firm , and set at defiance the capital influence and tyranny of their late taskmasters .

      condition ; there was nothing to tear on that score . Mr .

      Baths And Wash-Houses > For The Labourin...

      SUPPOSED MURDER AND ROBBERY . AT ' HAMPSTEAD . On Saturday morning , and throughout the entire day , the town of Hampstead was thrown into a state of intense excitement by a rumour , obtaining extensive circulation , that a gentleman had been found murdered in a ditch closely adjoining the spot where the murder of the unfortunate Mr . Delarue was perpetrated by Thomas Henry Hooker . On the reporter instituting inquiries he ascertained that the grounds for supposing a similar shocking occurrence had transpired in the vicinity of Hampstead were not altogether without foundation , as the body of a most respectably attired man had been discovered under the following singular , and , to say the least of them ,

      suspicious circumstances : —It appears that between three and four o ' clock on Saturday morning ,, police constable George Morphett , 207 S , who was on duty , was proceeding down the New North-road , and on arriving at the field adjoining the Haverstock-fiold , where Delarue was murdered , and between the Swiss Cottage Tavern and West-end-lane , he discovered what at first appeared to be a large bundle lying in the ditch passing along the hedge . On closer approach he discovered it to be the body of a man completely doubled up , and l y ing face downwards in the ditch . On examination he found that he was quiet dead , and that blood had been issuing from the nose and mouth . His hands were full of mud , but there did not appear to be any external marks , of violence

      except that the face appeared unusually swollen . The policeman gave an alarm , and , with assistance from the Swiss Cottage , the body was at once conveyed to the Yorkshire Grey , and afterwards placed in the dead house whjeh had been previously occupied by the body of the unfortunate Delarue , and where it was searched and minutely examined by Mr . Gower , surgeon , of Hampstead , who was called in . The deceased is a . man of most respectable appearance , apparently about forty years ot age , about Eve feet three inches in height , of stout build , having light hair and small whiskers rather tinged with grey , dressed in a brown Petersham wrapper with side-pockets , a black cloth waistcoat with figured silk buttons , blue doeskin trousers , a black figured cashmere long-fronted stock , blucher boots , with leather straps attached to the trousers , the right one

      being broken . His shirt is of long cloth , being spotted with pale blue spots . All that was found on his person was sixpence in money , a papier maehe snuffbox , and a pocket handkerchief . The only circumstance likel y to lead to the deceased ' s identity is that he has the initals T . G ., in Indian ink , pricked into the skin of the back of his left hand . From the general appearance of the deceased , it is the impression that lie has been hocussed , and what renders the circumstances more suspicious is the fact that no hat was found near deceased , and although the police have made a minute search in every direction they were unable to discover it . Information was for warded , to Mr . Wakley , the coroner , who has deemed the circumstances of tha ease sufficiently suspicious to order an immediate 2 > ost mortem examination of the body .

      ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS . Throughout Sunday , as might have been anticipated , from the report obtaining extensive circulation that the body of * another man had been found ( supposed to have been murdered ) in a ditch , at no great distance from the spot where the murder ef the unfortunate Delarue was perpetrated , a vast number of persons visited Hampstead , and the Yorkshire Grey was inundated by those who were desirous of obtaining a sight of the body of the deceased man . Between three and four o ' clock in the afternoon a respectable man , who gave his name as John Drury , 15 , Boswollcourt , Clement ' s-inn , accompanied by an almost frantic female , applied to Mr . Neal , the landlord of the Yorkshire Grey , for permission to see the body ,

      as from the description of the deceased in the newspapers , but more particularly on account of the initials T . G . beingmarked on the back of his left hand , he was convinced the body was that of his friend , and husband of the female in his company . Mr . Drury was shown the body , and at once announced his fears to be confirmed . He identified the deceased ' s person as Mr . John Cunningham , tailor , of No . 24 , llolywcil-street , Strand , and stated that he had been missed from home since Thursday morning last , and nothing had been heard of him until his description had been read in the papers . He has been in the habit of staying out very late in company and drinking freely , but he was never heard to threaten to destroy himself , and his being in the vicinity of Hampstead could not be accounted for , as he had no business that way , In accordance with the direction of

      the coroner a post mortem examination was made of the body . The analysation of the contents of the stomach was being pursued on Sunday evening , but theresult has not transpired . On examination oftlie brain and other parts of the body , it is stated that there was nothing found at all to account for death . The brain was particularly healthy , therefore the deceased could not have died from apoplexy from drunkenness , or any cause of that kind . Although minute inquiries have been instituted by the police the deceased ' s hat has not been discovered , nor has any one been found who can speak to h <* iving been in deceased's company on Friday night . Inspector Grey , however , fancies that he is a man lie met about one o ' clock on Saturday morning in the Finehleyroad , but if he is the same person , he had his hat on then .

      THE INQUEST . On Tuesday forenoon , at ten o ' clock , Mr . Wakley , the coroner , and a jury , assembled at the Yorkshire Grey , Hampstead , to investigate the death of Thomas William Cunningham , aged 42 , a tailor , residing at 24 , Holywell-street , Strand , who was found dead in a ditch in the Finchley-road , near the Swiss Cottage , on the morning of Saturday last , under circumstances of an exceedingly suspicions nature . William Cowderoy was first called . He said he was a coachman , and lived in James-street , Lisson grovc . About twenty minutes past four o ' clock on the morning of Saturday last , he was returning with his coach from a ball at Hampstead , and on arriving within about 200 yards of the Swiss Cottage , he saw from his box the body ol a man lying in a ditch , face downwards . He did not know that he was dead , but gave information to a policeman he met in the Avenue-road .

      George Morphett , police-constable , 20 ? S , said that from the information of the last witness , about halfpast four o ' clock on Saturday morning , he went into the Finchley-road , and between the Swiss Cottage and West-end-Ianc , he found the deceased , lying in the dry ditch by the road side , with his face downwards , and his head in the dirt . He was quite dead , but did not appear to be cold . Sergeant Green came up , and witness went for a stretcher , and he was brought to that house . There was a little bruise on his forehead , but no other marks of violence . All that was found on him was Gd ., a tobacco-stopper , a pair of kid gloves , and a sDk handkerchief . No hat could be found . Witness could not say if the deceased had met with any violence , or how he came into the ditch .

      Mr . Thomas William Parry deposed , that he was an optician , and resided at 24 , Holywell-street , Strand . The deceased was a lodger of his . He last saw him alive at six o ' clock on Thursday evening when he went out to take some work home . He was then quite sober , and witness never saw him drunk in his life . He was a very reserved and rather eccentric man . The Coroner . —Do you believe he has been subjected to any violence ? The Witness . — Why , these arc circumstances which you have not heard , and which I think very suspicious . The deceased had a leather purse which he kept in a little side pocket , with money in it , and a pair of silver spectacles , when he wont out , but they were not on him when found . Mr . W "Jordan , landlord of the Cock and Hood .

      at West end , identified the snuff-box found on deceased , as one he had been asked to take a pinch of snuff by a man like deceased , on Friday night last , who came to his bar ; he had no doubt deceased was the person . This was about eleven o ' clock . He came in with a man named Mitchell , a sergeant in the Middlesex militia , who said he had just picked deceased up , coming across from Kilburn . They had two pints of half-and-half , and stayed at the bar about three quarters of an hour . The deceased paid for what they had . He appeared perfectly sober at that time , but deceased observed he had been drinking a good deal . I saw nothing odd in his manner . The other man ( Mitchell ) left , I think , about five minutes before deceased . Deceased asked mc the way to the Strand , and I directed him down the Finchley-road . I can't say if he met the other man

      again . Sarah Cunningham , the wife of deceased , was next called . She said he left home on Thursday evening , about six o ' clock , to take some work into the Strand , saying he would be back directly . He had a pair of silver spectacles , and a good deal of money with him at the time in a leather purse . Should say he had upwards of £ 1 with him . He had never been in a lunatic asvlum . He would sometimes get a little intoxicated " and stay out half a day or a night . The Coroner . —Is it your belief that any violence has been done yourhusbancW _ Witness . —I can't say ; but I think he had somc unfair dealings , his spectacles being gone , when I know he had them with him when he went out on Tliarsday .

      ¦ Mr . W . James , a friend of the deceased ; proved . meeting him about 11 o ' clock on Thursday night in St . Paul's Churchyard , and went to a house ttfhave something to drink with him . The ¦ deceased paid , and took the money from a leather bag . ; there was certainly a quantity of silver in it , ' but he could not say how much . Deceased left him ,.. to-go home . When he heard there was but Gd . found on deceased , he considered something was wrong . : The Coroner said , that where the . body lay , fifty people might have passed , and it mig ht , have been robbed of the spectacles and purse . William Lew . a carman , nroduccd a . hat with a

      piece , of black calico in it , which he said he found between twelve and one o ' clock on Saturday morning , between West-end-gate and Hampstead church , about 200 yards from where the body lay . The deceased's widow on being shown these articles , identified the wrapper as that in which deceased took the clothes home on the Thursday , but denied positively the hat was her husband ' s . The son , however , declared on the contrary , that the hat was the one worn by his father . . Mr . S . Gower , surgeon , of Hamostead ,. proved

      having opened the body . Tko oiilv mark of violence was a slight contusion on the left' temple , but there were no corresponding marks internally . Thestomach was full of food , but there was no . poisou . The Brain was healthy , but the surface was congested , and the membranes more full of Wood than natural . He should say that death had arisen from congestive apoplexy produced by natural . causes , and not by violence . The Coroner said , after this evidence it was useless to pursue the inquiry further , and the jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased died of congestive apoplexy . "
