Toi To The Trades Of England
_TOI TO THE TRADES OF ENGLAND
Tt Fbjej Fbiesds,—Irish Iplomacy Is Said...
tt Fbjej _Fbiesds , —Irish _iplomacy is said to consist of sword anword and a blow , " and but very short breathing ;; aBowe . allowed between iheni : at all events not suffitt time t time for thought . I never mean to deny that assess a _ssess a good deal of that sanguine temperament -f ' -fMch % M _' _--hmycoro ' _* 'ryme _^ Youmust mit , hoviit , however , that I have not been very precipi-• _,-, attho ; _, although I have been enthusiasfic and sanguine wo . the In the land question . I have been -writing about
aand taW talking about it , -until at length I have forced ss a _prfe a primary consideration upon every class in the poire , pire . All proposals for great changes must emac . e froB . e from some one individual : and the greatest uingc , atagc , and _themostbenetScialfor tiie working classes sail co- all countries , is that -which-will take their labour 11 of tit of the artificial market , -where its value depends tion theon the whim of those who require it , and place it 1 the ni the natural market , -where its value can be tested their their own industry .
_JSow , Xow , I know -that , boasting as yon are , energetic you yon arc about moonshine , —enthusiastic about rrikcs , rifces , and proud as you are of the insignia and Qablemablems of your trade , —yet you are dull as swine on 11 matl matters that do not promise a fascinating result n the "i the first Saturday night after you have _experiuentalientalised upon them . In fact , you require to be iiiddenidden with " whip and spur , " even while you are tunnirunning for your own stakes . Ton wUl not be _^ _rouffltrougbt to believe thatone " not of your order" can eeel pieel pride , pleasure , and honour iu serving you . Tou c _» k v _^ k with unbecoming suspicion upon all who ever - i-entuenture to offer a suggestion for your benefit . In _jheaijie acceptance of advice you arc high and
atisto-¦¦ raticratic ; while in submission to tyranny you are _' ¦ _"rovi _- _j-rorellln g and mean . You are afraid of each other ; _Sjrouifouare jealous of each other ; you arc suspicious of ¦• acheach other ; you hate each ofher ; you call yourselves _cdemJemocratic , whileyoa areas much governed by theohl 'TorTory system of ascendancy as the country wasduring _llhcthc palmy days of borough-mongering ascendancy YouYou must be invited to serve yourselves : nay , indeed , othf others must serve you , before you can be brought to try try to serve yourselves : and hence we see this m _jfi-soaly—the finest , the ablest , the most strapping , ant and mdividually best educated people in the world , go * governed by ahandful of puking , puny , half-begol gotten , pale-faced cripples , because tliey are _csm-n .
When I see the stunted son of an English answer crat made wo of high-heeled boots and a tall helmet , HI like a Jack-In-a-box , with a swordby his side , upon a pi prancing steed , while honest men are _starving in w workhouses , it makes the heart sick : and yet you , a and YOU ONLY , are to blame for the anomaly . 1 Yora disunion constitutes tlieir strength 'Tis true t that they can unite over the one mess-trough " j Their cause of anion is in the compass of a nut-shell . —in the exchequer supplied by the proceeds of your
1 labour . Are you not fine heroes to sing "Britons never shallbe Slaves ! " while you tolerate such a state of things ? Well , " but you can't centralise your inducements to union , " says some one . Yes , but you can ; or at least I will point out the way . You have seen the Land plan propounded in _' the Northern Star You have seen what may be accomplished by an expenditure of £ 5000 upon the land . It is impossible thai that sum could be lessenedby one farthing , even if the _e-qwriment totally failed ; and yet you must be driven , and driven hardly to its adoption .
Let me now see if I can drive you . If the Trades , as a body , or any one of them , will advance £ 5000 to try the experiment , four gentlemen , friends of mine , " _coverned by confidence in me , will add £ 500 each , or £ 2000 to the capital : _andthelargestamount of interest now procurable for money will he guaranteed upon the £ 5000 before any is demanded for thc £ 2000 . That is—my friends will add thc additional security of £ 2000 to your £ 5000 ; or , if you prefer sidling upon equal terms in the same boat , they ivill guarantee to vou no less than four per cent , for your
£ 5000 , with the further condition that you shall share equally and equitably in the general proceeds : that 13 , you may realise eight , ton , or twelve per cent ., or even more , while atthe same time yon locate your surplus hands on the land : and should the experiment even fail , yon will be guaranteed four per cent _, for your £ 5000 , and ample security for the repayment of the capital whenever you tiiink proper . And further , the whole financial arrangements , such as purchase of land , expenditure for buildings , & c ., can be Tested In officers of your own appointment .
" Sow I tiiink that this "blow" atthe Trades of England has not precipitately followed my first " words" on the subject : but I have deterainedihal ' thc "Wow" snail be struck . This is one object whiehlplaec before the Trades : but to secure tiho more _tactenave development of the plan , it will bfc nccessary for them to devise some national plan ( f _Mg-unation in the forthcoming Conference . So far , then , I have attempted to "drive" you into the posession of socialhappiness ; and now I present you with an intellectual " spur . " I am anxious myself lo acquire knowledge on all Trades matters . Thc Tr ades themselves are greedy after it ; but unibrfi ; -
nately , the great variety of tastes and diversity of interests have hitherto kept all in the dark . It is , however , necessary that the Trades should have on * common text book ; and as I cannot write that myself , and as wc ought to possess it , I propose fo give a prize of £ 15 tothe writer of _thehestessay ; subject" Best mode of accomplishing a thorough _oi-ganisation and union of the Trades of Great Britain and Ireland , as a means of protecting their labour against legislative interference and tiie power ef capitalists : " the several essays to be submitted to a committee of
thirteen , elected by ballot , from the delegates constituting the next General Trades Conference , tobe hdden in London : fhe essay to be the property of the united Trades Association , and to be published for their benefit . The several essays to be forwarded to ih . Barrett , General Secretary , on or before the 20 th of July next , with a sealed letter containing the -Address , whereby no name save that of the successful candidate need appear , and by which means the judges will have no knowledge ofthe name of any of the candidates until they have decided .
Thus , my friends , I offer two " spurs" to propel jou in thesocial and intellectual race ; and the stake , when you reach the goal is , " a fair day's wage for a fair day's work . " Yonr faithful friend and servant , Feargus O'Coxxok .

FRANCE . Curious Political _Atostast . —We take the following from the 'Herald of Wednesday : —" The writers in thc Paris papers of Monday appear tobe much excited on account of the political desertion i f the famous Viscount de Cormemn from the ranks of the Republicans to those of the Ultramontano anti-University party . It was M . de Connenhi , _vthoj- underthenameof Timon , roused the country •" "gainst the project of a dotation for the Due de Kemonrs ; and now behold Mm enlisted under the _ban"flers ofthe church . His fierce invectives against the _^ nivereity have caused universal astonishment . Thc _^ erumeut papers , recollecting the pamphlets st the the iversti f
_jj _^^ dotation , expose _terg aon o j m % with a view to _depopularise him ; the antij _** papers denounce him as an apostate ; the _r _^ _-hni st and parti pretre journals are in an ecstacy w deli ght ; the papers of all shades talk of Timon , fX « f nobody or nothing else for the moment . He Pope " has 5 _^ 4 a diampion in the extreme left , _re publican section of the Chamber of Deputies , _ffrtis asked , is Timon mad ? Is he bought ? Is " * c orrupt ? "fa he sincere ?

At all events hoon has mystified a -very ingenious public . " dts £ _* EU * - » _sd ihe Frexch Pbess . — . The Journal _uL _$ _* _' _* ' of Wednesday , contains a long article _nt _& ° 'Connell , descriptive of what it _caUathe

It is in this costume that Mr . O'Connell display himself on the days of meeting of the 1782 club . Such are the puerilities with wliich 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 Pamirge > O ! the fine political education ! the admirable school for a people aspiring to govern themselves ! In truth , if such exneriments werc not inadmissible , the best mode that England could employ to cure the Irish of their defdre for Repeal , would be to accord it to them for some timc , and leave them tothemselves . Then would be seen the fine works which would be effected by a national parliament , an independent parliament , a
thorough-bred parliament . Histoiy tells us what it was in the last century , and it would be the same thing again . In p lace of formin" ' part of processions in the open air , in place of making a show of himself with his green coat and white gloves , Mr . O'Connell would have done much better to proceed to his _E ost in the House of Commons , to defend Ireland and er national religion , and to give his support to the ministers , who were risking the Government in order to render justice to his countiy . But he knows that in the House of Commons his big-mouthed eloquence would not be suitable ; he likes better to sit and makehis perorations in Conciliation nail , where there is nobody who dares answer or contradict him . "
SPAIN . Triumph op Phiestceafi . —The Espectador contains tiie following : — " We are assured that the concordat has arrived , and that it is onthe following bases : —1 . All the emigrant bishops are to return to Spain without being requited 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 ofthe monks shall be provided by a canonical tax of 15 per cent ., to which the purchasers of Church property shall 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 administered by ecclesiastical governors , to be named , not by the chapters , bnt the bishops ofthe nearest dioceses . We do not guarantee the news , but it is communicated to us as very positive . It is said tbat tbe Government is doing all in its power to prevent these conditions from transpiring , but it is so embarrass : d at this unexpected news that it is probable the occult power will influence it and induce it to submit to the demands of thc Pope . " The Herald of Tuesday contained the following : — Our accounts from Madrid are to the llth instant . On that dav thc simultaneous arrival of two pieces
of good news tended to fill the Court and Cabinet with joy . A dispatch from Rome announced thatthe long-Iooked-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 thc validity of the sales of thc Church property . The second piece of intelligence was to the effect that a c « n « _netcia \ 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 . Lisbox , Mav 12 . —The patriarch of Lisbon , Cardinal 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 tiie 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 erer attempted in Portugal ) _ha-ring lately been made at Oporto , the engineer , Mr . Wylde , together with several of the Englishresidents _' in that city , proceeded in her on an experimental trip , intending to go as far as "Viana , which is about fifty miles distant from it . Finding when they had got _' half way that the vessel had not power enough to make head against the strong northerly wind which had come on to blow , they tried to run into Villa do Conde , but not being able
to £ 3 so , they turned back and ran for Oporto , where they COllld not enter . Iri eu- _'sequenee <¦ . *• ' the high sea there was < m \ the bav .

SWITZERLAND . _Tiis Ca . v '<> . y 0 ? Vaud . —The New _Coxstiictiox . —The Crest Council of the canton of Vaud met on the i 2 th inst ., and commenced the debate on the new lonstitutioc . M . Druly took an active part in the _diseufsion . The first clause was adopted , and is to the following effect : — "The canton of Vaud is a democratic Kepublic , and one of the States of the Swiss confederation . The people is sovereign . " The _^ im _' eiV Gazette states that considerable hope exists that the life of Dr . Steiger will be spared . Accordmg to the constitution of the superior tribunal , seven judges out of eleven , without including the President , mustagree to a capital sentence . Several
petitions have been presented inhisfavour . Therewas one against him , but it caused such an expression of disgust as to have done no harm . The new Grand Council of Lucerne was to have assembled on Monday , the I 9 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 .
_Impobiast News . — _Losnox , Saiuhdat Morxisg , Mat 21—The Paris papers of Thursday contain the important intelligence of the pardon of Dr . Steiger by the Government of Lucerne , at the demand of tne cantons of Berne , Zurich , and Argovia , the representatives of which threatened that if he werc executed the troops of those cantons would instantly march upon Lucerne .
PORTUGAL . Murders . —A Judge of Right , named Joao Lopes Calbeiros de Mooazes , has heeu shot dead at Villa Pouca de Aguiar , in tiie north oi 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 journal , 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 heen the occasion ofhis violent death . Blood-thirstiness is not a characteristic of the Portuguese people , vet 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 appears 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 . —Times .
PRUSSIA . The Ixfamocs 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 fortius incarceration are not known ; but , as M . Bauer had appealed against a judgment condemning him to three-and-a-half years' confinement for an offence against the lavra relating to the press , itis 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 law is an almost solitary instance , it has created great sensation . M . Bauer is a communist , and has still to answer two impeachments against him of leze-majesty and exciting to contempt of the law .
SWEDEN AND NORWAY . SiocKfloiM journals of the 6 th 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 ot primogeniture . On the other hand , it has refused to sanction the privilege claimed by the nobibty over the states , on account ofthe above decisions . The papers also announce the arrival at Stockholm 01 Lieut . 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 , ofthe yeavly tribute of 20 , 000 Spanish piasters , hitherto paid by Sweden and Norway . The treaty was concluded at Larache ( El-Araisch ) 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 tothe Archbishop of Mayence and Magdeburg , under date of Oct . 31 ,
1517 , has been discovered . It declaims against thc sale of indulgences by Tetzel , the head commissary of the above prelate . The back of the letter bears the following lines : — "L ( _itero _>) DoctorisMartini ordinis Sancti Augustini ad Doxninum nostrum ritmm ( reverendissimumj apertoz in Calbe ( apparently the city of Kalbe , in the Magdeburg district ) , per consilarios fcria tenia post 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 , Mac 9 . —A famine is generally approbended in Upland . The Captain General ofthe district has requested the local authorities to inform him ofthe necessities of their vicinities , and to mention the securities they can offer for the repayment of the sums advanced for their relief . According to thc last report of the bank , it possessed in silver and bullion the sum of 3 , 310 , 000 specie , or 8 , 826 , 000 rixdoliars 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-dolkus ; total 39 , 341 , 000 rix-dollars . On the debit side appeared the sum of 29 , 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 thc i 8 th ult . state that thc Russian government was daily sendingoff 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 the Correspondent of the Malta Herald , J Armx 23 . —Persons in Europe , on reading the journals published in Smyrna , will be led to think that Turkey is wonderfully improving , and that since fhe establishment ofthe new police , housebreaking , & o ., does not take place so frequently ; but they will be mistaken . They must not give so much credit to these mercenary productions , inserted at thc expense of the Sublime Porte , for the purpose of deceiving Europe . All thc articles respecting the flourishing state _^ of the country are false—housebreaking takes place every week , and thc 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
fendays since in the suburbs of Smyrna . Some four or five ofthe inhabitants were murdered in defending themselves ; the Aga ivas tied to a tree , and severely bastinadoed . After they had plundered all they could , they left , andhave not since beenheardpf . In the interior of Asia Minor , aboutaday ' sjourneyfromSmyrna , the farmers are in a deplorable condition ; what their fields produce is either swallowed up by the avidity of the government or the iron-hearted capitalist , 'f heinterest per annum is from 50 to 70 per cent ., so you may imagine what is left for the poor husbandman . The village of _Guvcndikhaa been the theatre ofa horrible crime . Two Turkish houses were assailed
by a strong band of armed robbers : after plundering them of aU 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 hhn , were left dangerously wounded . A Greek was also found dead , but it is uncertain whether he was killed by the robbers or hy the Turks themselves , 'ihere is a report from Beyrout that there has been a fight between the Drases 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 Brazil to the 2 d of April . The following is the priucipal news which they bring : — Mr . Ouscley , the new Minister of England to the Argentine Confederation , arrived at Rio on the 3 lst of March , on board her Majesty ' s steamer Fii'obrand . It was expected that he would proceed immedia . tely 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 hhn and his Lieutenant , Onbe , in the most decisive manner , if tbey 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 , lias arrived at Rio . It is now under the command of an officer who understands the wishes ofhis own government . The infant son of the Emperor , the heir apparent to the Brazilian throne , had been publicly baptised with great splendour , ne received the following liberal allowance of Christian names : _—Alfonso-Pedro-Christino-Leopoldo-Felippe-Eugenio-Miguel-Gabriel Raphael-Gonzaga .
The War ix the Banda Oriental . —The following is a copy ofa letter received from Monte Video , and brought by the Rio Packet thc Penguin : — Monte Video , March 4 , 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 Bio Janeiro , to give you the extraordinary news that has reached us through the medium ofa bulletin of the enemy . Some time ago we learnt by way of Eio 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 Unjuieza _' s cavalry in front of hini , and aa action was expected . AU at once , on the 13 th of February , General Oribe published
a bulletin containing a report made to Urquieza by Colonel Dionicio Corenel _, which he commences by refer ring to a former communication of the 8 th ofthe same month , in which he says he warned Urquieza that Rivera was advancing ; and then adds , thathe ( Rivera ) had made his appearance in front of Cerro Largo on the eleventh , and had remained until tbe eighteenth , when he continued his march with the main body in direction of Maldonado , leaving a rear-guard ot 400 men , which remained until the night of the 22 d and neither up to this date nor even next day , when Goronela dates his dispatches , does it appear that either Urquieza or Servando Gomez ventured to approach Rivera , or make any attempt to relieve Cerro Largo . Coronel states Rivera ' s force to be 4 » 00 flchtinir 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 tbis can only move at snail ' s pace , and cannot have evaded the enemy ' s vigilance by rapid marches ; and we can only suppose that either Rivera "had disengaged himself of Gomez by defeating him , or that his force ( which , according to the bulletin , comprises both infantry and artillery , with plenty of new arms , and an immense supply of ammunition ) , is superior to tlioso 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 aperson who was yesterday on 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 ; and it is supposed these vessel * -wiSl bring away Don Ignacio Oribe ' s division , now reduced to about 300 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 liim we may now soon expect to see him re-occupy thc position he held in June , 1843 , and that Urquieza and Servando will be driven in upon General Oribe ' s encampment , and in this case both British and Brazilian intervention ivill come to ¦ late . Thc _demoralising effect of Rivera ' s -nlvance seems already to be felt in the enemy ' s camp . On the 1 st , six deserters came in , and yesterday came four more . As this news is all derived from General Oribe's own bulletin , it can most certainly be Telied upon , ami 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 vietor : > . us .
£ x { _ract / roma ) _-t /<« r letter . "M . Hite Video , March , 1845 . In the treaty between Brazil and Paraguay , the former binds herself to use her influence to obtain the acknowledgment of the latter ' s indepriukiwe , and to employ all the means in her power { lodostos xnedkxs que tstanaser akance ) to secu e the free navigation of the Parana . There is no doubt that the effect of this treaty will be eventually to create a rupture between Brazil and Buenos Ayres , without the farther and equally serious entanglement occasioned by the Banda Oriental , bnt 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 .

The dates by this mail are , Calcutta to the 8 th of April , Bombay to tho 5 th , Madras to the Mth , China to the llth of February , Suez to the 4 th of May , and Alexandria to the llth . The news thus received is comparatively unimportant ; the chief feature is a confirmation ofthe previous accounts of Sir Charles Napier ' s expedition against the Beloochees , and thc surrender of Bejar Khan , their chief , and a large body of his followers . From the Punj aub there is nothing fresh , unless the continuation of the squabbles and attempts to overreach each other of Ghoolab Singh , and the Khalsas ; and . the confirmation of the statement that Jumboo Rajah had at length consented to purchase the neutrality of these troops by a douceur to them of thirty-six lakhsof rupees . The Anglo-Indian army that was collecting on the Sutlaj had pretty well taken up its position , but was not expected to make any further movement unless an absolute necessity should arise .
StfEZ , Mav 4 . —We received accounts from Judda during the past weok of a very sanguinary piece of business that has recently occurred under the direction of the present governor , Osman Pacha , in fact , a 3 _econd Mameluke tragedy . It appears there _ascertain tribes of Arabs inhabiting the country through which the pilgrims pass to _Met-ca , and on a late _occwion some Turks , returning from Mecca , hl & miji _tamplained to the Pacha that they had been ill-used by the Arabs , an order was sent for the Sheiks to attend thc Dewan at Judda , but the Arabs would not attend the summons without some guarantee for their safety : at last
they werc induced to accept the pledge ofa merchant in whom they ( the Arabs ) had some confidence , and having met at Osman Pacha's Dewan the subject of complaint was discussed , in wliich the Arabs are said to have proved the complaints made against them to be without foundation . The poor Sheiks were then dismissed , and told they might retire to their homes ; but sad to tell not one of them ever reached them , for about an hour after they had taken their departure a detachment of Turkish cavalry was sent after them , and cut every man to pieces , not only the Sheiks , but all their followers ; not one was left to carry home the tale .
WEST INDIES . Southampton , Friday Evening . —The Royal Mail Company ' s steam-ship Avon arrived here this evening with the West India Mail . She brings 300 , 000 dollars in specie and gold dust , and sixty-nine passengers . The advices from Jamaica are to the 24 th April . lloRHiBtE Tragedy . —Murder , Abso . v , and Attempt at Suicide !! —Jamaica , April 23 . — About twenty minutes past one a . m . yesterday , the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the General Penitentiary were aroused by an alarm of fire . The police from the Penitentiary station proceeded immediately to the spot whence it was heard to issue—which was discovered [ to be a negro-yard opposite the station . On arriving there , about six yards in front of the
rooms , a man was seen lying on the ground , apparently dead , and a woman wounded crying over him . The cry of fire being kept up , but no flames or smoke being visible , they went on towards the rear of the premises , when one of the Emancipados ( by a number of whom the premises as well as the neighbourhood were occupied ) was met , pointing to a wound on his arm , and giving thc police to understand that the man who had wounded him and the other man and the woman , was in the house . On looking through the crevices of the shutter flames and smoke were perceived to fill thc room , and a man was perceived within with a cutlass in his hands . Mr . Hecks , the suoerintendent at the General Penitentiary , who
had in the meantime come over with two subordinate officers ofthe institution , advised the mob ( which had rapidly increased ) and the police to batter in the place ; and this was immediately commenced . The jalousie and doors were soon burst open , and then the place was discovered to be in flames—the _laan who had been seen inside , was seen to rush to the door with a cutlass in 1 m hand , and flourish it , as if at some one , though nobody was in his reach . The brickbats _continuedto be thrown , and one of them striking the man as he flourised the cutlass , knocked him down , and his cutlass fell from his hand . He got up , _staggered into the flames , presently came out covered with blood , and , exhibiting a large gash on his throat , felldown near
a bed . which was 0 n fire . Andrew Brodie , one ofthe officers ofthe Penitentiary , then went in and dragged him from under the bed , whither he had crawled , observing that something , though he could not make out what it was , tell from his hand . He then was earned to the cage , together with the man who was found with the wound on his arm . The man over whom the woman was seen crying , being discovered to be quite dead , with frightful wounds all over the body , his mangled corpse was removed without the premises over against the Penitentiary wall ; and the woman , who was also dreadfully , and ( there appears scarcely any doubt ) fatally wounded , was removed to the hospital . It appeals that the author of these horrible crimes is an Eniancipado ,
who lately came to this country from Ilavannaa ; the unfortunate victim having been the murderer ' s benefactor , and tho other man _equally so , as well as the three women ; all of whom this monster in his savage fury has more or less seriously * , Y 0 _uuded _, W _* i « . y here observe that no cause has been assigned—no origin of the circumstances arrived at ; unless , indeed , we are to allow the prisoner ' s assertion that he was first attacked , and onl y acted in self-defence , to be any satisfactory mode of accounting for it . News prom Haiti . —General Herard , who , as we noticedinour last 8 ummary _, 'hadsailedfor Haiti , on anproaching the shores of that island , found it advisable not to land , and returned , bringing with hiin the pilot who had boarded his vessel off L'Anse-Veau to
Port Antonio ; and , after remaining there a day or two , again sailed , ostensibl y for St . Thomas , leaving his foreign crew behind him , and hiring Jamaicans to navigate his vessel . H . M . S , Spartan was sent after him on the llth , to make his vessel a prize , it is said , for some breach of tbe navigation and Customs laws . Haiti in _themeantime has b een in much commotion ; several of Herard ' s partisans are said to have been shot , numbers arrested , and rewards offered for the heads or arrest of others—among them of course the largest for the head of Herard . There was a report also of a revolution having taken place in thc Spanish part ofthe island , which had resulted in Santana being deposed from the Presidency , and replaced by General Regla Mota .

institution , and of the vast necessity of erecting baths and wash-houses throughout the metropolis . —Lord Sandon moved the first resolution , "That the establishment in large towns of baths and wash-houses for the labouring classes , by affording them facilities for cleanliness which they cannot now obtain , will tend materially to their physical , social , and moral improvement , and to their relieffrom the seriousevilsconscqucnt on the confined and crowded state of their dwellings , —Lord Fortescue seconded the resolution Lord Eldon moved the next resolution : — " That it is highly desirable that the model establishment , for whicli a site has been obtained near Whitechapel , should be erected without delay , and that similar cstaohshmonts should be erected , as soon as possible 111 other parts ofthe metroDolis . and that it ia nxn _* .

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 Hocker . On the reporter instituting inquiries he ascertained that the grounds _foiv 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 0 clock on Saturday morning , police constable Gcorce Morphett , 207 S , who was on duty , was proceeding down the New North-road , and on arriving at the field adjoining the Haverstoek-field , 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 lie found that he was quiet dead , and that blood had been issuing from thc 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 whieh had been previously occupied by the . body of the unfortunate DeJarue , and where it ivas 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 five 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 mache snuffbox , and a pocket handkerchief . Thc onl y circumstance likel y to lead to thc 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 ofthe deceased , it is the impression that he has been hocussed , and what renders tbe circumstances more suspicious is thc fact that no hat was found near deceased , and although the police have made a minute search in every _duection they were unable to discover it . Information was forwarded to Mr . Wakley , the coroner , who has deemed the circumstances ofthe case sufficiently suspicious to order an immediate post 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 © f 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 ofthe deceased man . Between three and four o ' clock in the afternoon a respectable man , who gave his name as John Drury , 15 , Boswellcouvt , Clenient ' s-imi , accompanied b y an almost frantic female , applied to Mr . Neal , the landlord oi the Yorkshire Grey , for permission to see the body ,
as from the description ot the _-dfttcaseii m the -newspapers , but more particularly on account ofthe 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 , Holywell-street , Strand , and stated that lie ha ? , keil missed from . " Home since Thursday -morning last , and nothing had been heard of him until his descriptioi * _. had beeh read in the papers , He has been in the habit of staying out very late in eompany and drinking _^ . freely , but he was never heard to threaten to destroy himself , and Ilia being ill 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 the result has not transpired . On examination ofthe 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 having been in deceased's company on Friday night . Inspector Grey , however , fancies that he is a man he met about one o'clock on Saturday morning in the Finchlcyroad , but if he is the same person , hc 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 2-1 , 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 Jamea-street , Lissongrove . 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 of 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 , 207 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-lane , 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 q uite dead , but did not appear to be cold . Sergeant _Groen 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 6 d ., a tobacco-stopper , a pair of kid gloves , and a _sukhandkerchiejt . 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 h ' is . 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 veiy reserved and rather eccentric man . The Coroner . —Do you believe he has been subjected to any violence ? The Witness . — Why , these are circumstances which you have not heard , and which I think very suspicious . The deceased had a leather puree which he kept in a littlo side pocket , with money in it , and a-pair of silver spectacles , when he went out , but they were not on him when found . Mr . W'Jordan , landlord of the Cock and Hoon .
at West end , _luentified the snuff-box found 011 deceased , as one he had been asked totake a pinch ot snuff by a man like deceased , on Fridav night last , who came to his bar ; he had no doubt ueeeased was the person . This was about eleven o'clock . Hc 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 me thc 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 anairol silver spectacles , and a good deal of money with him at the time in a leather puree . 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 your husband ? Witness . —I can't say ; but I think he had some unfair dealings , bis spectacles being gone , when I know he had them with him when he went out en Thursday .
Mr . W . James , a friend _of-ithe deceased , _provemeeting him about II o ' clock-on Thursday night in St , Paul ' s Churchvard , and went to a bouse , to have something to drink with him .. The deceased paid , and took the money from a _lecher -bag ; there was certainly a quantity * of silver in it , but he could not say how much . Deceased left hiin . to go home . When he heard there was but 6 d .. found . ondeceased , he comidere A something was wrong . _.. The Coroner said , that where thc . body . lay ,. Pty people might have passed ,. and it might haye -been robbed of the spectacles aud purse . William Levy , a carman , produced a . hat-with a , niece of" black calico in it , which he said he . found between twelve and one o ' clock on Saturdaymoming , between West-end-gate and Hampstead church , about 200 yards from where the . body lay , ¦ I
lie deceased ' s widow on being shown _theseawcies , identified the wrapper ns tliat 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 Hampstead , proved having opened the body .. The only mark of violencewas a slight contusion on the left temple , but there were no corresponding marks internally . Thestomaeh was full of food , but . therc was no poison . The Brain was healthy , but the surface was congested , and the membranes more full of blood thai natural . Heshould say that death had arisen from ' congestive apoplexy produced by natural causes , and not . by violence . The Coroner said , after this evidence it was uselessto pursue the inquiry further , and ; the jury . returned a verdict— " That thc deceased died . of congestiveapoplexy , "
