      . REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA . SO . X . The following extracts shed considerable light npon the MTUrARY FORCE OF F . USS 1 A . Th _= Russian peasantry , -who , when disciplined , constitute seme of ihe best infantry in Europe—superior in steadiness to any , excepting the English , the Swede * : , and the Swiss—are naturally a mnst pacific race , and , of all others , wonli seem least calculated for the career of arms . Timid in their disposition , feeble in constitution , they can . neither endure long marches , nor resist the hardships of a campaign . In even a greater degree than the inhabitants ofany other European countries , _accustomed to a watery food , of which they require , great quantities , they soon fall victims to famine , and diseases snd -epidemics rapidly thin _thnr numhers when exposed

      10 _scarrity va \ _fntigae . How different in Tealityfrnm the picture we have been accustomed to contemplate of bold and enduring barbarians , whose iron frames set at defiance all privations and fatigue ! In what , therefore , _consists their superiority ! Only in this , that they obey ; —that s -rvirude bas _taught obedience without a murmur . A Russian regiment , If _destined for-a long -march _, cannot go more than twenty-lire wersts _, or sixteen and twothirds "English miles per day , -marching two days and resting the third . If this distance be augmented , it leaves many men -npon the road I "With soar black hread _* - tisemt'for _htsfood _j and upwards o * eighty ponndsEnglish _, in arms cartridges , and equipments to weigh down a frame which has no stamina to support it , it is not surprising that seventy-five miles in six days should be thc limit which the soldier cannot-pass with impunity . Bat , _nsreilbelesa . if he should be ordered to perform ten times that distance , he wonld at _Jeast try it , and _without

      _repininil . - We "find , in the annals of Russian campaigns , accounts of long and painful marches performed by _Muscovite _jroops . We find tbem submitting , indeed , to every hard * snip -without complaint ; hat , marking their track as they went hy the dead bodies Of those who succumbed to fatigue and to disease . In two campaigns in the last Turkish war . the Russian army lost at least 150 , 000 men from _ackness and fatigue alone ; and al though their European tactics and discipline-rendered them _everyvAere , in a fair and open field , more "than a match for the Turks—who appear not only to _* have lost all their military skill , hut not eveu to ha"e perpetuated in their "armies , _traditionally , the system of attack so peculiarly applicable to

      the _* vild and desultory forces of which they are composed , which once rendered them so formidable , and of which Hontecuculi _, in "his military memoir , hzsleftns so spirited a description—yet , notwithstanding these advantages ; so mueh was _the-strength nf the invaders reduced , that if is probable that a little more firmness , or a little further ; prolongat on even « f a passive resistance , on the part ofj tbe O'toman "Porte , would have led to results most disss- ' troastothe Russian arms . When "the Russian soldier , _^ ho isK ttle _* tted , _pnjsioa % . for his profession , has at last arrived the marches , the privations , and the inclemency of the seasons , and finds himself before the enemy , 'he S tand ? trembling and timid in the place that discipline allots to Bavin the ranks .

      Transpired hy any military enthusiasm , or any patriotic fee _* mp , _or-even hy the _spirit of natural _pugnacity , whicb , fo ? its own sake , invests the very act of strife and cententiai -with charms in the eyes of cert : in races of men , the "Russian private will do his duty ; he will stand passively to be cut to pieces , or he will advance as he is directed ; i * sar « A-W . ay "be uAn * rved , _Indeed , "b y his _individual terrors , but still he keeps his _jitae ; the man is there at his post , forming part and parcel of _ahraee and _fffroidaV . e _sia ! e—a whole which standsnnawea "by danger , or which _iself advances threatening . * ? C

      But -K the Russian icfimtry _soldier does his duty—no aatter * ao * n whit motive—this is seldom the case with ns officer , particularly in allthe subaltern grades of the jrofession . _Egoallv- devoid-of _patriotism , or at any _passou for military glory , and nstarally as little courageous is his men , his very ambition does not lead him to _conquer his fears , nor any sense of honour , or any public opiuiob , to conceal them . "He knows well , from the state of _things which prevails in the armies , as everywhere else , _aotwitSiStandin'r the efforts of the emperor _toremedy the evil , that flagrant cowardice is just as likely as bravery lo secure the recompense intended for the latter . To this mnst he _andeo-tbatevevythinginhis early education , and the circumstances in which he afterwards'finds himsdf placed , contribute as far as possible to damp and Suppress that slender portion of animal courage with

      which-nature has originally endowed him ; ani thus he too often offers to his soldiers a _humntahle spectacle of his _cowaiaice in the field . These remarks apply chiefly to the officers ofthe line ; though , in some measure , tbey equally apply to those of the _guards . Tbe soldier , whether infantry or cavalry , of "ihe guards or of the line , is taken almost inv .-iriab _' y from the class of ser & , _thonrh a 1 who ere not noble are liable to the conscription : but the * xeem £ . * i and trader always exempt themselves hy the _payment of a tax , -which ibrxes a Ijranch of "the revenue . "Every proprietor of slaves Is bound to furnish a yearly per centage oa the number he possesses—a proportion which var i _' - _'S according to the exigencies of the state . He generally selects the most idle and worthless of his peasants ; "b ut they are seldom admitted if incapacitated by any _physical infirmity for the service .

      The llussian infantry consists of " 72 regiments of thi ? line , onoattalionseach , 12 regiments ofthe guards , and 12 ofthe grenadier corps , and amounts , on _diaper , on the peace establishment , to 63 MH _10 men , inclusive of the infantry of the independent armies of Orenburg , of Siberia , the Caucasus , and Finland , and the garrison battalions , an account of which "will he found in the general gumming np of the forces ofthe empire . The number of _bullions to each regiment varies in tbe line , the guard ? , and grenadier eorps ; hut eaeh battalion _amnbu-s 1000 men , unless on the peace _estahli-hment of a reserve corps , or in depot , in which case it consists of 590 men .

      It is naturally impossible te do more than guess at what number of soldiers are really embodied of those _appearing on paper , since the emperor himself is in ignonraee-on this point , it being equally the interest o * the _comunnding officers to reduce tbe list as low ns poi , sole , ani to _cancfal this reduction . Still , as tbe framework of all these corps is effective , _whenever _required for active service the gaps in their ranks wonld be speedily Skied up , and must be so at the responsibility of their chiefs . The total number of foot soldiers under arms probably exceeds in _reality 4-50 , 000 men .

      Th * _regular civalry of the Russian empire consists of 43 regiments of the line , 12 ofthe guards , and 12 ofthe grenadier corps ; one of Caucasian dragoons , and one model regiment , of nine squadrons of 160 men each , of which tight take tbe field : it thus amounts , on paper , to upwards of 54 , 000 men who take the field , and to 103 . 000 . inclusive of those in depot—in reality , probably _, to S 5 . 003 men . The irregular cavelry amounts to about 135 , 000 men , and is composed of the Cossacks of the "Cral , : _he Bon , aud Black Sea , the Kirguise , the Tartai s _, the Bashkirs , and other tribes . Of these ahout 90 , 000 are as well disciplined as the line . The Russian cavalry of the line is decidedly inferior to its infantry—especially aH that part of it wliich is purely Muscovite , or composed of the natives of Old Russia . These passive qualities which render the Russian formidable as an infantrv

      soldier d-i not so advantageously apply to the horseman ; : a whom an active and fiery valour is as _mjcessary an element of excellence as _obsdience and discipline ,. The _Itu-f _tim peasant isalso by habit no rider ; though horsec everywhere abound in his coantry , he drives , but seldom moaats them . It is true that a portion of the Russian _ttguiar cavelry is recruited from the Ukraine , and other Populations , Cossack , or of Cossack origin ; and so far it is goo ? , fur the Cossack is brave , warlike , hardy , and _ftoroushly accustomed to the horse , which he hacks lrom his earliest childhood . But as _ib _.-s is only partially the case , on the whole the regular cavalry of the Russian srmy may be _condl _^ red as a very inefficient force ; and Sich it unquestionably proved itself in almost every _agagsintnt ofthe late Polish war , when opposed to that < _a ihe Pules .

      Every jvar camps are formed in different parts of the Rnpire , that atKrasnoi Xelo . in the vicinity of St . _Petersttirg , being always _> ccupied by the guards , who usually _ffics ' _i-r about 7 < yi 00 men : and very fn _qut-ntly armies art _ttillected _tojetlur to manoeuvre , more vast than any < Kb . tr power in the wor d can assemble ; turn as that of Ih e camp of Kalish , and of tlie review at _Boronino , Where 120 , 030 men and $ 00 pieces of cannon were present ia mm-ic fight . * In all their formations we find the Russian infantry both shirer aud looser than the British , and probably a lit tle inferior to what the French were , in 1837 , in point _t-f speed , but preserving their order more closely . Thc cavalry manoeuvres well , hut is very easily tired . The _& _-ld artiltry _ very rapid iu its evolutions and its fire , oat its target practice is strikingly inaccurate , a disadvantage which , whenever confined to the use of round _fi » t , mu 5 t prove quite countervailing to the speed with * h : chthe pieces are _discharged .

      UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . SANTA ANNA AGAIN IN POWER . _—IMPRJ . SONMENT OF GENERAL PAREDES . The steam ship Caledonia , Captain Lott , entered the river thisafternoonafteran extraordinarv nassaee of 11 days 18 hours . * _vaoaa o e The most important item of hews by the conveyances is the reported arrival of Santa Anna in Mexico iiis restoration again to power , and that of Paredes being deposed and imprisoned . Our advices from New Orleans state that by the ship Adelaide , Captain Adam-, from Havana , 9 th instant , we learn that Generals Santa Anna , Almonte , and Rejon , chartered the steamer Arab , an English trading vessel , and proceeded to Vera Cruz on the evening of the 8 th , far the purpose as General Santa Anna remarked * of " making peace between the United States and "Mexico . " UNITED STATES AND -MEXICO .

      Information reached Boston just before the Caledonia left for England announcing the _coaipiete success of the revolution in favour of Santa Anna , the deposing of General Paredes , and his imprisonment in tlie city of Mexico . The United States steamer Mississippi , arrived at Pensacola on the 19 th , bringing dates from Vera Cruz to the 13 th ult . Vera Cruz pronounced in favour of Santa Anna on the 1 st ., and the news of this step reached the capital on the 3 rd , when the garrison there under _General Morales , numbering some 1 . 200

      men , immediately sided with the new movement , and the following day a proclamation was issued by the Genera' , * o the effect that Santa Anna would shortly arrive , and resume the reins of government . I : w : _s not know at Vera Cruz that the new President had already started from Havana , and li was proposed to send for him . This would , no donbt , be rendered _unnecessary , as though no news of his having landed at Sisal had reached New York or Boston , it was certain that he would be there abont the 15 th or i 6 th , having sailed r rom Havana on the 9 _* h .

      It is reported that the revolutionists in Mexico had issued a proclamation , declaring the determination of the Republic , nnder tbeir new chief , to carry on a vigorous war against the United States . The advices from Gen . Taylor and his troops t * ontinued favorable as regards health . The absence of means of transportation for the baggage continued to keep them some what at astand-still . From all accounts thi * department of the military operations appears to har e heen much iUmanaged , forconsidcrablece * ntracts _wereasing filled for * _saogoriS , _whith , from the nature oft ' _iexaads through wliich the army vrillha 7 e to _pro-rress will be of no service whatever , and _considerable quantities of mules were being purchased in New Orleans , at three or four times the price at which they conld be had in the

      _immediate-neighbourhoodofthearmy . The main bodv of thc army was at Carmargo , and as soon as they were 5 n a capacity tc move forward , "the troops would advance - to _Sfonterey . __ The precise time of this tnc-Tement . was not known , but several weeks micht elapse before it took place . A considerable difficulty in obtaining _-uppliea was also anticipated in case-of the troops moving further np the country , as those , obtainable at Carmargo for so-large a body ef men . about 10 , 000 , were none of tiie best . Severel skirmishes with the Canianche Indians had taken place , but nothing worthy ot much note . The town of Slier was occupied-en the 31 st of July byadetachmentof 93 men . Tbe "Mexicans offered no opposition , -though the place is capable of being well defended . The population is said to be abeut 6 . 000 , probablyover-rated .

      Colonel Kearney's force , which left St . Louis for Santa Fe . had been beard from . They left Benft Fort on the 1 st . nit . all in good "health . From information reeeived from the traders , and from some spies they -captured , ho opposition was expected to their taking * Santa Fe . 1 : ; fact , s proclamation had been issued by the Mexican authorities , _stating-the existence of the war wonld not interrupt the trade 'between Santa _*' e and the United States .

      On the _* _£ th ult ., an attack'was made by a portion of t * ie American squadron upon Alvaredo , -a port situated about 20 or SO iriiles fr _*» m Vera Cruz . It appears that several vessels hadtaken shelter from the blockading force nnder'tbe guns of the fort , and an attempt wa- * made to-cut them out . With this view , the steamers Prineeton and Mississippi , and three sloops , ran in and opened their cunt upon the batteries , which latter returned the fire without effect . The vessels were 'hauled iu out -of reach however , so the attack was given up .

      Thc regiments mustered at New York for service in California , were on the point of departure . Three ships had been entered , and were to sail immediately . Two companies of Mounted Riflemen from _Baltinv-re had been summoned for Mexico , but with this ex eption , no more troops were under orders for the seat of war . Those already there muster about twelve-thousand . An accident had occurred on board the steam ship Palmetto , which till lately run _between New York and _Charleston . While at the Philadelphia wharf some _c _^ _'her steam pipes hurst , killing one man and _seriouslx w . 'iundinp * several more .

      TJic Toronto _IKird of Trade had _passedYesolutions fir petitioning Her Majesty from some relief from the laws _requiring » he carrying trade of Canada produce to and frnm British possessions to be performed in British ship ** . The present _resulationa give a monopoly to British bottoms , highly injurious to the traders -of Canada West , and tbey urge that some concession is necessary , because , while the rates of frei « btfrom Canada West , via Montreal and th _« St . Luwrenee , are so much higher than by New York , as they are at present , the canals will be thrown out of use _.

      _CnoLniuis Persia . —Letters from Teheran of tlie 1 st of August , published by the Journxl des Debuts . _ann- _'unce the appearance of cholera in the capital of Fersli . - " In the beginning of tlie last _jear" says the correspondent of the Dcbais , "the cholera , which had made considerable ravages at Lahore and Cabul , _proceeded through Kouloum , Kondoz , and Bokhara ' to Kiva , to the east of the Caspian Sea . There it stopped some time , and it was _believed tbat it would die away in those high and thinly-inhabited regions , bat , suddenly driven off by the winds , it retraced its step ? , and showed itself at ; _C-indahar . From this last city it reached Ilerat , and afterwards Mechhed , iu the _kingdom of Persia .. ind advanced to Meskinan , a small frontier _townofKhorassan . ten days distant from Teheran . In the middle of June it broke out in _< _-ne ofthe suburbs of that capital . Between the 20 : h and 25 th the number of deaths was from six to ten , but on the 30 th of July from forty to fifty _ca--es

      _oeim-ed daily . A brother of the Shah , Karaman Mirza , a younc naanof 20 , and several high personages , fell victims in a few hours to the epidemy . The Mussulman population , seized with terror , abandoned the city almost entirely , and retired into the mountains . The authorities were the first to set the example of the general flight , and the city was almost deserted , the _sbof-s _closed , and commerce and _business comp'etely interrupted . The Shah was then at the Camp of Niaveran , with the Court and the Ministers . But , on thc 21 th , Dr . Cloquet bavin " observed four cases of cholera , the King , followed by his entire Court , suddenly withdrew from tbe camp : o thc distance of six leagues in the mountains . On the following day , five persons of bis suite having died , be retired from tbat new position to one of the highest summits of Mount _EUBours . At _Candahai ' and Cabul the number of deaths , when It was at its height , exceeded 300 per day . "

      Aoen attacked bt me Arabs . — _Lct ers from Alexandria ofthe 30 th nit ., have hrousht important news from Aden . When the Post-office packet , the Akbar , passed it . the town was surrounded by Arabs , vho blockaded all the gates , and cut off all the supplies of provision . There had been a night eHcounter in which tbe Arabs had seven men killed , and a _^ reat many _grounded . Several English who went on shore . " were massacred . When the packet took her departure a serious battle was expected . The Frexch Regicide , Joseph Hexrt . —On the 25 th August , the first day of his trial before the Court of Peers , Joseph Henry sold his manufactory of fancy steel articles , to his son Frederic , ibr the sum of 20 , 000 francs , to be paid by five equai yearly ins _t alments , which by the deed of sale are secured to his creditors in payment of their claims . Since his _removal to the prison of La _Koqiiette bis mind has become more and more calm . He writes _dailv

      ' ither to his avocat or to persons who take an _inter-^ t in his fate , lie receives his son Frederic in thc parloir , and _-ives him _instructions as to the management of his bus _i ness , lie expresses his deep regret forthe illicit union iu wliich he had been living , and deplores the fever _niider the influence of which he _coni'iiistcd the crime for which he is condemned . On Friday morning , Joseph Henry was sent off from tbe prison of La Roquette to the hulks at Toulon , in execution of the sentence of thc Court of Peers . Until his being tranferred to this _prison he niiii .-tuiucd hopes that his appeal to tire King for a commu . aiion would meet with some success , and more than once sent for hiscounsc ! , M . Baroche , to whom he expressed _creat anxiety as to his fate- At six in

      the _iiioriiin _«* he was informed that he must prepare to go to Toulon , undergo thc usual process , and tut m tlie dress worn by all persons sentenced to the hulks . He sank into a state of _despair and almost _stiinni- . exclaiming , " Oh , God ! Oil , God' \ H then i 3 over I No hope is left .

      Resistance To Rests—Nbwaoh.—A Demonstrat...

      _Resistance to Rests—Nbwaoh . —A demonstration _against the payment of rents , under the passive resistance svstem , took place on Monday , on a _neighbourinir _estate . This estate of Loghovna contains about 800 acres , and is at present under the Courts , and a receiver appointed over it . The cattle and crops were under seizure , and a sale was to have taken _place'on Monday . The place was surrounded bj about a thousand men , who congregated together from all parts , in tens and tweniys , leaving their farming work at a stand still , in order to attend the sale , not for the purpose of buyinp , bnt to prevent any one doing so . A . % a matter bf course there was no purchaser , and at the end of tlieir vigil , tliey marched off in regular order , firing shots . Amongst them conld be reckoned from thirty to forty armed with double-barrel guns , blunderbusses , and muskets .

      rROGRESS OF DISTRESS . —OrES AIR MEBT 1 SO . Pursuant to notices posted on all the chapels in the barony of Henry , county of Limerick , a copy of one of which appeared in the Times of Saturday , a meeting was held on Thursday , at Court hill , for the purpose of calling on the landlords to assemble _audtvy by every means in their power to avert impending famine . Onarriving at Court-hill and Court-bridge , atone o ' clock , according to the Limerick Chronicle , there were assembled a multitude of 4 , 000 persons , including women " and children . From Massy Vbridge _, to Court-bridge , _ajstrong military force , comprising atroopof tlte 8 th Hussars , with Captains Todd , Grant , and Day ' s companies , S 5 tb under the command of Colonel -Cox , _Quavteisnaster-General , lined the road-side _bauks , being held in reserve for precaution , but -did not approach the meeting .

      The Rev . T . Foley , the parish priest atStonehall , was voted to the chair , and told the multitude they bad _assenrbeld for tbe propose of calli * Bg uuon the resident and absentee landlords to aid in the _endeavour about being * aade to mitigate the distress which now prevails to au alarming extent in that district . He knew they were well-disposed , and had nG idea of doing anything calculated to lead to a breach of the peace . Therefore it was almost un . necessary for him to -exort them to return quietly and orderly to their homes , as soon as the meeting was'over . ( Cheers . _^ A Voich . — We have our hopes "ia a good Government , that they will give us work , and not allow _Bsto starve ; we are famishing at present for want « Ffnod .

      Mr . T . Rose , Court , proposed the following resolution : —* ' That we , the farmers and labourers of the barony of Kenry , most respectfully call on the landlords of this barony imnicidatery to meet their respective tenantry , and to suggest means with them to alleviate impending famine , and to give to their tenantry the means of support for themselves and families . " After _proposingthis resolution , Mr . Rose said he would be most happy in co-operating with the landlords of the district , and he earnestly hoped they would acquiesce in the spirit of his resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr . _MreEAEnFiizeERAED , of Pallaskenry , seconded it .

      Mr . _Michaet _.

" Mr . Potter then said , he-would not _ask-u penny from any man who had potatoe ground from him this year whose crop had failed —( cheers _);—> nor would he see a ¦ nei ghbour ofhis want while he'had a p _» und in the world .

      Mr . doHN O'Recax , repeal warden ;? Pallaskenry seconded the resolution . " - Mr . John _Mahoxf , repeal warden , Castletown , proposed— "That the thanks of this _raeetins he given to the landlords , gentry , aud farmers of this district , who came forward so liberally last year with subscriptions in aid of the distress , and particularly to those gentlemen who gave employment to their tenantry . "

      OLOSMEL ELBCTI 0 V . According to a Waterford paper , the lucky Mr Cecil Lawless was returned on Saturday in the room ofthe Right Hon . David Pigot , now-Chief Baron of the Exchequer . Some discontent was expressed at the absence lrom ( he hustings of the new member , who is , it seems , amusin ? himself with the sport of cock-shooting inthe _Highlands of Scotland . Father Burk , however , who was appointed returning officer under the warrant of the "Liberator . " soon silenced the grumblers , and the lion , young Whig has thus received fhe just " consideration" for his £ 5 contribution to tbe -consumptive exchequer of Conciliation-hall .

      ' 1 he Hon . Cecil Lawless , who is now in Scotland , was on Saturday elected M . P . for Clonmel . [ Can anything more forcibly illusSrate thc lamentable slavery of Ireland than such a miserable force as this election of a mere Whig in his absence at the command ofthe dictator of Burgh-quay ?] Fifty-sixproclamatianshave been issued , commanding the holding of extraordinary _presentmentsessions in various counties in Ireland . The levy to be made under the proclamations must be expended in " public works . " The landlord must pay half the expence . [ The landlords remind us of Leigh Hunt's fishes . They can " scream , " and the howl they have set up at the prospect of a practical application of the maxims that " property has its duties as well as its rights . " is sueh as only the landlords of Ireland could raise . !

      ASSEMBLAGES OF THE TEA SAN FRY . Dublin , Sept . 14 . There are further _accounts of assemblages ofthe destitute peasantry in the south and west , seeking for employment as the means of saving them from starvation , On all hands it is admitted that these meetings , caused by dire necessity , are characterised invariably by order and tranquillity , and that the poor people exhibit an extent of patient endurance for which it would be difficult to find a parallel . The Ballinasloe Star , Conservative paper , gives the following report from that locality .

      Etbecoubt . —This town , on last Wednesday , was the scene of one of those demonstrations of which in these times we are doomed to get many a sample . The labourers of this neighbourhood , to the number of about three hundred , gathered into town about two o ' clock , and having _proceeded in a peaceful and orderly manner to the castle , ui _^ ed their claims on Mr . Byre , and explained to him the destitute condition io which they were left by the total failure of thc potatoe crop , on wbich their sole de . pendence consisted . They rt-presented to him the utter impossibility of being able to hold on even a weiklonger . unless relief was afforded with no niggard hand , and with the utmost respect they assured him that , however _unwilling they should be to violate the private peace , and the rights of public property , they could not , would not starve while pltnt / was around them , and that it was

      wor-e than idle to ixpeet they should . Mr . Eyre , with all the kindliness of feeling for which he is so much beloved by all classes , told them that their wants should V _.-TS spCCdilj b 6 relieved through Hie paternal vigilance ofa considerate government ; and that he , in conjunction with the other gentlemen ofthe neighbourhood , had just prayed his Excellency . to call a baronial sessions for the immediate selection and commencement of public works . After returning Mr . Byre heartfelt thanks for the attention and kindness he manifested towards them , and expressing a hope that they should not be obliged to _pmceed to unlawful extremities , the poor labourers' went tlieir way rejoicing at the prospect of employment . Such ofthem as wero in absolute want got momentary relief through the benevolence of Mrs . Eyre , wbo was greatly affected at the sight of so many human beings on the verge of starvation . "

      The Cork Reporter of Saturday contains the following remarkable statement : — Cork , Sept . 12 . —Ahout two o ' clock yesterday a num . _bi-r of labouring men , from a distance of over twenty miles from Cork , the neighbourhood of Ballyfeard , came into the office of this paper , and presented a document , written evidently hy one of their own body , and containing a painful narrative of the _sufferings , which the labouring population in the barony of _Kinnalea—which they stated themselves to represent as a deputation were enduring . They intimated a desire that it should be advertised , as a public notiee , and desired to know thc cost of publishing it in thatform . On re ading over the document , we found it to express , besides relations of misery and dire want , declarations that they would not be quietly borne with any longer—in a word , it was a formal notice that if certain conditions were not complied with , such as would procure food for the famishing labourers , their wives and children , within a certain

      specified time , nud for which they wtre willing io give in return their labour , that _forcible means would be had recourse to to pr . ieurc it . Such is tbe most mitigated form in which wc can at present express the substance of the notice . Thepar ! i ? s connected with this journal to whom itwas referred took occasion to point out to the people who brought it , the dangerous nature of the course they took , and to represent how much thej might increase the misery they complained of , and bring _aggravated sufferings on lhemselve _< and their families , b y the slightest violation ofthe rights of property , or the least approach to i nsubordination or outrage . Their replies , certainly , to remove any suspicion that they were disposed unnecessarily to commit any act of nn _illegatyature ; but they pleaded this oiie- _™ by us unanswerable—argument , " What are we to live Hpon—what will we give our children to eat 2 We hive no potatoes , and we can get no work . " Such was the burden of their brief tale , and after having made several additional statements they were induced to return to their _fetant and comfortless

You say that thematter I have referred to was * concluded after lengthened debates .

      since its formation . I fondly hoped it would ever be the nurse of freedom , and of the freest discussion ; and I now see , with deep regret , tbat it has attempted to crush opponents who have not , " as far aa I ean judge , exceeded the limits of fair controversy , or broken through any of the rules of the association . I am . therefore , reluctantly obliged to withdraw from a society , whose committee of management appear to me to have acted in opposition to our principle of association , and in doing so to bave acted unjustly ; and 1 beg now to tender my resignation of membership

      m it . "I repeat , that I have no sympathy with the warlike feelings of the ' Yoivng Ireland' party ; but I think their errors should be combated by argument in , and not by expulsion from , the body with which they * were connected . " It seems to me , tJiat the only liberty which is truly valuable has been deeply injured by sucli a proceeding , and I feel constrained to enter my humble protest against the course pursued . " Will you have the kindness to read this correspondence at tl _' e next meeting of the association . " I remain , rny respected friend , " Yours sincerely , "James _Haughto . _* -, " "ToT .

      This letter was the close of a correspondence with Mr . Ray . Mr . J' O'Connell then proceeded to pay miny compliments to Mr . Haughton , and to defend the expulsion process adopted by the association . He argued that it was a matter of sheer necessity to take this course , as , in their view of the law , it was not safe to maintain the doctrine of physical force , under any circumstances , in this hall . Out of respect to Mr . Haughton , however , they would insert his letter on the minutes , and direct their secretary to write an explanatory and conciliatory letter to him .

      . Mr . J . O'Connell next read a short letter from Mr . Lloyd , of Beech Mount , County Limerick , desiring Iris name to be orased from the roll of members- Mr . Lloyd assigned no reason for taking this step , but Mr . J . O'Connell supposed that it was in consequence of the treatment which they had exhibited towards the young Irelanders . Mr . J . O'Connell talked at great length on some matters of business , and concluded by stating that they had received certain resolutions from the Manchester _Uepealers _, expressive of their dissent from the movement of the association touching young Ireland . Ile would merely move that tbeir letter and resolutions should be returned to them . ( Hear , hear . ) The vent at four o ' _clock was announced to be 102 l . ' 3 s . ld .

      —"On Friday last about two hundred men , armed with scythes , pitchforks , < fcc ., and fire-arms , went to a farm , held under the Court of Chancery , near Clonaske , in the Queen's County , within a few miles of this town , and having driven off the keepers in charge of tlie crops , placed the grain [ crops on drays , carts , and cars , and carried all off , firing several shots by way of triumph , The keepers having made way to the Clonaslee police , the _constiible and three men hastened to the scep . e ; and , on coming up to the Cross of Killonghy , in this county , they found a large body of them drawn up there , who told the police to ' cime on , ' for that they were ready for them , and kept them diverted by talk and threats for a considerable time , to give the party with the corn time to escape , which they did by taking different directions . Tbe grain was afterwards traced ami recovered .

      On Monday night the town of Dungarvon and the whole _surrounding county was in a blaze wiih bonfires for many miles round . It is supposed that tho object was to warn all pewons wanting employment ti come in here to-morrow to attend a sessions to be held under the Lord Lieutenant ' s proclamation , when the mob intend to compel . the magistrates to crant all works applied for . ' It is rumoured that the labourers intend to insist on a shilling a day , and also intend to prohibit the sale of corn by the farmers , who arc compelled to keep the food for thc people . The Clare Journal represents the want of food as becoming very urgent in that quarter , and calls upon the Government to take immediate steps to preserve the people from famine .

      On Friday night , a car , laden with corn , was stopped on the mad to Limericlj , and the owners compelled to retrace their steps by a volley of stones , and the firing of sh _ts . The horse drawing the car was wounded in the side . The object of this outrage was to prevent the sale of corn at market _. Cheers were given with lusty voice at Ratbkeale and Newcastle , county Limerick , for the Young Ireland party , in the immediate hearing of Mr . O'Connell , _ks he waa passing through last week . [ Dan must either retrace his step ** , or submit to the loss of his influence over the people of Ireland , who are apparently getting " too knowing" to be " caught by chaff" any longer . Apparently the " Agitator" is preparing for the latter event , by the manner in which he is pitchforking his dependents and relations _intn places .

      Leeds.—Thc Cloth Markets Have Been But T...

      Leeds . —Thc cloth markets have been but thinly supplied with goods nf a general description calculated for the winter trade , and as the manufacturers are delivering these goods direct to the merchants , and there is but little doing for shipping , the markets at the Cloth Ilalls appear dull , whilst the fact is there is a fair average business doing iii balk goods , and prices arc linn . There has been some little improvement in the demand for finished goods this week . More buyers have visited the market than for some time , but the shipping houses are doing little . _Manchester . —Wc have had little , if any , change in our cloth market since Tuesday , but , if any , it has been in I ' aVOlir ef the manufacturers , who were very stiff in asking a small advance . Had they submitted to last week ' s rates , a very large business would have taken place . Both dyers and printers are well employed . The home trade is a little improved since our last . Yarns are without change , and a large business is doimr _.

      _liRADFOKD . —The demand for combing wool is steady , and priees firm . For clothing wool there is a very ready sale , iindhigher prices are re .-iliscd . The yarn trade continues brisk : prices are stationary , but the spinners refuse to take orders for future delivery , except at higher prices . We may say that all the spinning frames in Br : tdford , now available , are at work , In the piece market there was a good attendance of merchants . The sale of figures is declining ; for _Cobui'L'S and Paramattas there is less demand , but for strong fabrics , suitable for the ensuing season , the dt-mand is very good , and prices very steady . _HuDDEitsFiELD . —There has been a fair average market to-day in seasonable goods ; and new fabrics , _especially those suited for winter wear , sold readily . Prices remain firm . There is also a good demand for the better description of broad cloths . The trade iu thc warehouses duriug the week has been rather brisk in some of the home _howe ? , and many _engiigud in the shipping _trade are very busy .

      _IlALiFAX . —Tlie . piece trade here does not improve , as wc usually expect to find it at this season of the year . There is a tolerable amount of business doing in several departments of the yarn market , but prices are not generally any better . For combing wools the demand this week has been very slack , but we bear of no alteration in value . There is more animation in clothing sorts , though the call is principally for low and middle ouiilities , wliich incline to be a little dearer , and stocks are very low . liociioAiE Flannel Saiiket . There has been some improvement iu tlio flannel market _to-dii _* and rather more pieces hnve been sold _thuu on the previous Monday . This time of the year should be , and is , _generally , the best for flannels , as tlse simps generally _lsjy iii their winter stocks . There _ife a great scarcity of that kind of midtiling priced wuol 1-iiich is used for flannels , and the demand generally for the raw mftteriitHiiis been limited . _Itani . _NCiiA'i . —yarns : The prices for yarns , of the

      _nuimiL-rs of which form the staple materials tor thc bobbin-net trade , arc decidedly firmer ; yet prices of goods , in the rough state , do not advance at all in proportion . The home demand for finished stock is quiet : and we learn that the export hits been more limited during the half-year than formerly . Drawer and shirt trade : Wc are happy to say , that in this branch of the manufacturing industry of tbis district , there is , generally speaking , great activity prevailing both here and at Leicester , especially in the rSiinb ' s wool and merino department . With those houses which are exclusively or principally engaged in thc manufacture of ootton drawers and shirts , there is , necessarily , sonic slackness , tlw result of tho change of season . The Glove Trade is raoburiiig under some de * pression , from a similar oTie to the cause last _anudotv to , as affecting the "drawers" bnt still it is no worse , we believe , than it is Kcnerally . found to be at this soason of the year .

Glasgow . —The market for cotton goods still continues firm for general descriptions , nnd prices low . The accounts from the east are _f till discouraging , but symptoms of firmness are beginning to appear ; and it is expected that business there will hs more animated when tbe season is opened and business is fairly resumed . The cotton yarn market , during the past week has been very dull indeed , but pikes have not receded . Barrel flour is consi deranly dearer , with every prospect of a further rise . Ashes are more in demand ; several hund . ed barrels have changed hands , and 28 s is now asked . Lnvd is again greatly up . The scarcity of bacon is improving its price , mid it will probably go higher still . Peas and corn are dearer .

      On Monday Evening, After The Performance...

      On Monday evening , after the performance of "Damon and Pythias , " which , as a spectacle , has met with eminent success , and of the "Scenes in the Circle , " full of their ordinary attraction , an entirely new necromantic ballet , entitled " The Vinedresser ' s Daughter , orthe Sprite of the Enchanted Vineyard , " was produced at this theatre , arranged by Mr . Rochez . It was full ol' those incidents peculiar to enchanted ballets . Jeanette _, ( Miss Waite , ) daughter of Old Phillippio , tlie vinedresser , ( Mr . Johnson , ) is beloved by Antonio , an assistant vinedresser , ( Mr . W . Harvey . ) She reciprocates thc attachment , but is crossed in her inclination by ber cautious and calculating sire , who ranking with hard-hearted fathers prefers Timothy Tin-kins , a cockney adventurer . ( Mr . Ilenry , ) whom he accepts as her future husba- d . Poor Tirakins , in pushing his suit , meets

      wilh many rebuffs and discouragements from Jeanette , yet , aided by her lather , determines to follow out his resolve , and not to relax in his suit until he gains the hand of Jeanette . But in love affairs , when fortune frowns , how fickle are resolves . The Fairy of thc Vineyard , ( MissT . A . veYy , _* ) comestothe assistance of Antonio ( the accepted ofthe lady . ) and by the agency of a sprite ( Mr . Rochez ) subject to her power , defeats Old _Phillippo _' s . intention . The Sprite by bis necromantic power , produces the most amusing incidents aud situatiens , and mystifies everything arid everybody but the lovers ' of his choice , whom he determines to see wedded . Matters thus go on in a light and agreeable maimer until the . _wished-for union is at length accomplished , very much to the annoyance of Mr . Timkins , the cockney adventurer . A grand " Pas de Deux , " by Mr . W . Harvey and Miss L . Waite , formed a pleasing feature in the piece , which as a tripping production , went off smoothly , and was generally well received .

      MANSION HOUSE . A Friend . —On Saturday John Robert Robinson was charged with having robbed Samuel Cootes _, late of the Royal Artillery , of 10 s . and a shirt and pair of stockings . —The complainant stated that ho had purchased his discharge from the Artillery , after 98 days' service . He had had quit ; enough ofthe military lite , which was not ot all to his taste , and the prisoner , who came from Woolwich at the same time , _accompanied him , and tliey both took a lodging at the Lamb public-house in Limestreet , where they occupied a bed . Upon rising the witness missed ' 20 s „ liis discharge from thc regiment , and a shirt and pair of stockings , whieb he hadviu a bundle , and he stopped the prisoner , who was sneaking down stairs at

      half-past four o ' cloek in the morning . The alarm having beeu givtn , the landlord rose and took witness aad the prisoner , who were squabbling on the stairs , into a private room . —The landlord of the Lamb said the pri * oner counted dotvn the money in his presence , and was very desirous to get away . "But , " said the witness , who was a curiosity in his way , '' that would not do , for I didn't like to have a person robbed in my house , so I sent lor an officer that poked him off to the stationhouse- " . —The Lord Mayor : Oh , you keep the Lamb , do you ?—Tlie landlord : My Lord , the Lamb keeps mc , and it would he ungrateful in me not to keep up the character of the Lamb for honesty and fair dealing , so I _eaid , " Pd soon settle it , " when 1 found what the bustle was about . When the man was taken to the _statioii-housc » _-e found that he had the shirt and stockings of the soldier upon him , although he had been a soldier himself . — The Lord Mayor : Did you find the complainant ' s

      discharge upon hnn 1—The landlord : Certainly ; and we found his own discharge too from thc same regiment , but they were testimonials of a very different description . The complainant ' s discharge stated th-it he hud purchased it , and the prisoner ' s that he had lately enlisted , but by accident it was found that his back was marked by the ttiongs of a cat , nnd he could , therefore , he kept no longer , but was paid up all dues , and sent away . The Royal Artillery seem , please your Lordship , to have a pretty fair notion of flogging , when they refuse to let a man auiong them who has been so disgraced . I hope her Majesty ' s other regiments will net upon some feeling of the kind , for it is quite plain that they don't tear each other ' s bodies to pieces in that corps . —His Lordship was incliued to send the case to thc sessions , but upou the intercession ofthe landlord and the complainant , inflicted the summary punishment of two months' imprisonment ill Bridewell , with hard lahour .

      WORSHIP STREET . On _S-iturdny , Daniel Ilock'ey and John Green were placed at the bur beforo Mr . Broughton , charged wilh the following brutal assault upon an elderly woman named Newton , the wife of a butcher in Albany-street , Homerton : _—Tti : e complainant ( ulm was in such an extreme r ftato of suffering and debility that she could scarcely articulate , was obliged to be supported iuto thc court , and was canned out fainting at the close of her testiinoiM * stated thata child ofthe prisoner Green hnruig

      taken away a dog-chain belonging to her children , she went to his house on tho morning of Saturday week to ask for its restoration , but bad no sooner made the request than the prisoner called her nn infamous appellation , aud , graspiug her by both arms with such force thut his nails penetrated thc flesh , dashed her head against the wall . On recovering from this blow the prisoner flung her heavily upon the ground , and kicked her about the body , until her screams attracted the attention of a woman , who came to her assistance , and helped her to vise -. but before she could escape from bis violence tho

      prisoner again knocked her down , and dealt her a fero . _eious kick in the abdomen , from which she was suffering _intense agony , when the other prisoner _( Hocklev ) came down from au upper room , and thrust her out into the street , where she instantly fell to the pavtment in a state of insensibility , aHd was unconscious of all that afterwards took place UU she found hersolf under medical treatment in bed , to which she had been confined ever since the attack had been made upon her . Evidence was adduced which brought the charge home to the prisoners . Green defended himself on tha ground that

      the _wo-nan _refused to leave his house on being ordered to do so . Mr . Broughton , us the evidence in a great measu re exculpated Hockley from any apparent intention of ii . _juring the complainant , _expressed his willingness t _« accept that prisoner ' s own recognizance for his future appearance ' ; but said , with regard to Green , as it was ohrious that the object ofhis violence was still in a very preoaiious condition , he should commit him to prison on the charge of a felonious assault , and ordered him to be brought up again in the course of a week , to allow time for ascertaining the probable result of the injuries the woman hnd sustained .

      BOW STREET . On Saturday , a lad , named Curtis , employed as _engine-stiker by the proprietor of the National Baths , in Holborn , was charged with stealing a gold wateh and chain , the property of Mr . Hetley , of _Sohosquare , and another lad , named Styles , and a girl named Eliza Gould , was charged as accessories . The prosecutor went to the baths in August last , and placing his watch in his trousers' pocket , deposited them on the seat of a dressing-box adjoining the engine-house . It was supposed that the property had been extracted by the prkonev through , an aperture in . the wail of the engWhouse where he was at work . The ease showed great ingratitude on the part of Curtis , who , having l 03 t his father ( formerly an engineer at the baths ) , had been put on the establishment from charitable motives . They wire all committed for trial . THAMES .

      On Monday , Mr . Peter M-llish , the vestry-clerk and clerk to the trustees ofthe purish of St . Paul ' s Shadwell , waited upon Mr . Broderip to ask his adviee respecting a very great nuisance which existed in new Gravel-lane , adjoining the eastern ba 6 in or entrance of the London _, dock , where a man named Lewis Cowan carried on the business of a _tallow-mi-ltcr and hone-boiler , to whom large consignments of the carcases of oxen in a putrid state had been made , to the annoyance and disgust of a crowded neighbourhood . Mr . . Hellish said he was deputed by the parish authorities to call the attention of the magistrate to the evil , and he was quite sure if it were continued , fever and disease would be engendered . Tbe health of the inhabitants had already suffeied by the frequent arrivals of dead beasts in a _decomposed state , which were brought from Bluckwall , and boiled down for

      the fat—a process thatought not to be carried on in such a densely-populated neighbourhood as . Shadwell . It was known tbat large quantities of cattle died on their way from Ireland , Scotland , and the continent , _arisingprindp _.- ) l ! y from their heing stowed so closely in the holds Of the steamers which brought them over ; and they were sold to the taUow-melters and _hone-hoiloTB . The stench arising from the decomposed remains cf large animals brought into Shadwell was quite overpowering . Nothing more horrible could possibly be conceived and the inhabitants had made repeated complaints to the p _.-irisb officers . The police _onstables themselves had informed him that tbey could scarcely . remain on their beats in the locality when the carcases were brouehtto Cowan's _factury , and during the process of melting and they

      were obliged to apply handkerchiefs steeped in vinegar to theirrioses . On Sunday morning the carcases of six oi seven oxen , were brought frem Blackwall to Cowan ' s factory . They were quite putrid , and some ofthe car . cases bad burst in the vans wbich brought them to Shad _, well . The effluvium was dreadfuL Nothing more nauseous and horrible could be conceived , and the carcases were melted down , tl _s Commissioners bf Customs having very properly stationed an officer on duty on the premises to see that the beasts wero cut up and boiled , and used for , no other purpose . The inhabitants , who were driven from their homes by the stench , came in a body to the beadle , Deverell , and complained of the nuisance . The exhihition of the dead animals in the vans was most disgusting ,

      Mr . Broderip _advised the "parochial authorities to indict the parties , who carried on the nuisance , " at tbe next sessions . He also took the opportunity ot severel y _animadverting upon a similar nuisance in Whitechapel , where a great number of beasts were daily killed in the numerous close sheds behind the butchers ' shambles in tho High-street , which was covered at all times witb Wood and garbage . No one could pass along Whitechapel _High-street without being disgusted , and such a nuisance ought not to be suffered in such a crowded district . The animal effluvia _produced miasmata . This country was _ci-rtainly 0 eUi _; id France in the march of practical improvement ; all beasts were slaughtered out of Paris , and cattle and sheep were not' allowed to be driven through the streets of that capital . [ All large towns are at present certres of corruption , hut the districts above alluJcd tonre pre-eminently " pestilential , Lord John's ' * Sanatory _Reform" catinot come too soon . ]

      _Josefu An ** again is _Teovble . — On Tuesday , Mr , Brodeiip the presiding magistrate , who committed Joseph Ady , of " _Soinetbing-to-advantage" notoriety , for trial , on two charges of fraud a few weeks ago , called upon Inspector Scott , of the H division , and handed him a letter he had received from Ady , enclosing another , and requested him to adopt the necessary measures to prevent a breach of . the peace , and not allow any one to inoit-st the person who had nr / tt h to him , Inspector Scott promised ti > comply with the magistrate ' s request , and gave immediate direction on the subject to the police _, man who has charge of the beat in which Ady ' s dwelling ib situate . The letter threatening Ady with personal chastisement and another with the arch-impostor himself , are curiosities in their way , and their publication ; may prevent many persons from being imposed upon by

      Ady ' s promise of advantage . The letter from Ady addressed to the magistrate of the Thames Police Office , near Arbour-square , was as follows : — " Gentlemen , the enclosed threatening letter is just received by the post , I beg the favour of your directing some of your subordinates to protect me frnm the writers violence . I know not his name . Respectfully , Jospph Ady , 5 , York-street , Commercial-road , Sept . 14 , 1 S 46 . " The letter whieh has put Joseph Ady in so much alarm is no doubt from some one to whom he had promised something to _hi 9 advantage on payment of a Post Office order for 20 s ,, and who feels indignant at the trick attempted to be practised upen him . The following is a copy of the letter , and from the fact of the writer having underscored many of tho prominent passages , there is no doubt of his being sincere in his threats .

      "The writer of this has _jast received a letter from Mr . Ady , in whieh he states he will , on receipt of 20 s . give him some valuable information . He will be at Mr . Ady ' s office on the 23 rd , nt twelve , without fail , and will then and there administer to him with a good horsewhip something that he will not easily forget . This is no idle threat , Mr . Ady has this time pitched on the wrong man ; one who knows him well , - and who knows him to be n swindling scoundrel , and if the rest of the world were to adopt the same plan as ho ineans to do , would soon rid society of a pest that has too long existed . Sueh a barefaced attempt at swindling should not go unpunished . The law may fail , but a strong arm will not .. Joseph Ady , when next you endeavour to oitort money under false pretences , for which many a bettor man has been transported , take care that you do not write to one who knows you longer than you are aware , and who has only long wished for the _opp-rtunity of doing the public so general a service . "

      Joseph Ady did not forget to forward to the magistrate part of _hio stock in trade lor defrauding people , " a list of next kin , " nearly lithographed , and falsely stated to have been " extracted from the 2 Vnic * of _^ August 29 , 1846 . " WESTMINSTER . _PjUVIiECE OP THE _HoCSEBOLD TjtOOPS . O . V _ToESdav , Eliza Briggs , a decently attired female , was charged with bei ; g a disorderly prostitute . Sergeant Adams , IS B _, stated , that at about half-past ten on the previous night he saw the defendant and two other prostitutes in company with a drunken soldier , standing on the pavement in Tothill-street , making a great noise , and obstructing the thoroughfare . He desired them to move on , when the other two females went away , but defendant refused , and said she should stand there as long as she pleased . The soldier took the matter up , declaring that she should stand tbere , and nobody should move her , and he became very violent , and collected a mob of

      people . Witness took defendant into custody , but had great difficutly in doing so , in consequence of the violence of the soldier . Mr . Burrell—Why did you not take the drunken soldier ? Sergeant—Wc have no power to take a soldier into custody . "No power to take a soldier into custody V ejaculated Mr . Burrell with evident * astonishment . Sergeant—Not for drunkenness . * ' Not for drunkenness ! " _repeaU-d Mr . Burrell . Sergeant—No , Sir , its contrary to our instructions to take a drunkon soldier if he belongs to the household troops . Mr . Burrell—This is certainly new to me . They are subject to the civil law as well as other persons . Sergeant—We eannot take them , according to our orders , upou our OW . _X charge . We can only take , them if a charge is made against them by some other person , Mr , Burrell repeated that such a course was quite new to him . As a matter of courtesy , soldiers had been occasionall y given up to the military authorities for punishment ; but they were amendable to the civil law as well as other persons . The priBoner was discharged .
