Ilaland . inthe possession and occupation of her Majesty .
WVillhmHakin , agamek ( yperin the service of theCrown , _iddeposed , that on Monday last he saw the defendant , with Itvtwo oth . r men , who wcre unknown to him , beating in the iplplantation withsticks . _between _theSheet-s treet-lodgeand _ISjSpital , in the Great Park . Tlie other tin ran off and _ieescaped , but witness pursued the defendant , and caught ihhim in the meadow . Upon searching him nothing was _ifrfouud on his person . Four wires ( for the snaring ot hhares ) were afterwards found by wituess r . ndthe gamekkeeper Austin , close to the spot where tlie three men _wwere seen beating ; the p lantation . Upoii the defendant Iheing t _iken he threatened to use his knife . The deftnddaut denied that he had a knife in his possession ; all
tthat he had in his porket was a pipe and a comb . The _^ defendant also denied that he was in search of game , -nvhatever tlie other two men , whom he did not know , i might be after . Tbe witness , who w _* s asked by Mr . IL «; h if he saw the knife in the possession of the _defentdaut , replied that he did not see it , but thathe pot his 1 baud to his waistcoat pocket when he made use of the 1 threatto use one . The magistrates haviu ;; consulted _toj _ge'her for a short time , and having elicited from Hakin < 11-1 ne had never seen thc defendant trespassing in search _< of giineou the Royal preserves before , the mayor , adcr .- _» iug the defendant , said , that this being his first offence , the bench would deal leniently with him by fining bim iu the amount of 10 s . and ordering him to pay lis . casts , thus giving him thc option of either paying the guinea or being imprisoned for fourteen days in the borough gaol . The man said he had no money to pay either fine or costs . He was then conveyed to prison in tiie _cu-toflv of thegaoler .
Now , can any man read the above disgusting intelligence , aud then read the fine imposed upon a Church of England parson for au attempt to violate thc person of an innocent girl , without coming tothe conclusion that there is " one law for the rich and another law for the-poor ? " Just think of a miserable pauper , _whos-i destitution was very likely br-insht on by the refusal of Prince Albert to pay his _poor-tttes " in time , being _s-nit for fourteen days to gaol , by the Queen , for having a " ul _> acco-pi [ je ani a comb in las povket , " and for the still greater crime of not living able to pay a guinea , —the greater part of the amount ( lls . j being for costs ! Working men should no longer carry combs or _to-Ikicco fipes in their pockets . The parson who was fined £ -5 , and no costs , should , by the scale that
regulated the pauper s costs , have been charged £ 5 10 s . f . r costs , in addition to the tine , and should , iu default of payment of the fine , have been sentenced to ten forinishts , or five months' imprisonment ; but THERE IS " one law fur thc rich and another for t ! ie poor . " We thiuk that the reverend gentleman ' s iutiraacy with the Bishop of London should have madehim more cautious , the more especia'Jy as some Right ltev . Fathers in God have been proved to be the greatest patrons of brothels , gin palaces , and _licentiousness . We marvel much that the young gentleman ' s friend from Brompton did not prjve , in mitigation of punishment , that the _defendant w _.-. s drunk;—although iu thc case of the poor poacher it w « uld be an aggravation rather than a palliation cf BIS offence .
Female Convicts for Van Dieman ' s Land 1—The ac _* _-ouiit that we give elsewhere of the number of female convicts about to be transporttd to Van I ) ieiuan ' s Land will , no doubt , be printed in every Russian newspaper , aud by contrast with llussian tyranny , perhaps the scarlet sins of tlie Czar may become white as the snow of his regions . Alas ¦ what valuable and virtuojs wives , mothers ,, and _moml-trs of society , _tln-sse poor creatures , now banshed fiom their native land , might have been , if they were allowed the _exercise of their industry ar . d do in _« _-stb _feelings on tlie laud of their birth 3 We venture tosay , that in a . rural population of oue million , using their industry for their own benefit , that not one would be transported , impri-oned , or even disgraced in twenty years ; but population does press too hardlv ui on the _lucausofs-ul's _stenee ALLOWED
BY OUR MONOPOLISING TYRANTS . Conm Circclak . —The farce represented undci the head "THE ORDER OF TllE GARTER , " l ' _.-ing in itself so truly ludicrous , farcical , and laughable , it is not _susceptible of the most trivial -literati m , and therefore we give it just as we find it in thc morning papers , with t _' ic single comment that wc wish Garter King had read theaccouutto her Majesty of the many unfortunate female c mvicts that were about to hi transported from their native country . Let the reader look upon the two pictures , _jaid ask _himself how _lvm ; this di _> parity is fr » continue ? IIow many a biirstitur . _brenkks heart those creatures have
left behind _tlttm , while those whose luxuries have been increased by their infant sweat , arc callous and indifferent to their sufferings . A virtuous Queenthat is , a Queen who can feel tbat the _respousibi'ity of Government adds dignity to the woman , would look upon such a wholesale expatriation of _hi-r sex as an insult to her crown , and as an eternal stigma npon her reign ; but wc are told that our colonial _consumers—that is , our thtev- s abroad want wives , and MACHINERY at home furnish . s them with au ample _supply . MACIIIXERY IS TUE DEVIL that has transported these poor creatures . We wish fiyin our souls that IT was transported to the devil .
_ Tue Militia . —Nothing can _posnlny equal thc excitement which prevails throughout the whole country , but more especially in London , upon the threatened embodiment of tiie militia . We _rvceivs < -ammunic _. _iti'ins from all parti upon this _suljject , which would take us a full week to answer , stud in < lefaultof which we must refer tothe several _comments upon the suiuect iu the Star . We have no dtsiie whatever that thc parties seeking information should _cnclo-c a postage stamp for the reply , but we have an o-jeetiuu t * _reading numerous very long letters , when we have just as much as we can possibly do , and sometimes liioie than wc can compass . The mccuug at Turiiagaiu-iaue on Sunday , and thc mectiugatthe South Loudon _Char-ist Hail last night , where _thousands win could not bv _aw'iiiiu'idatcd weredisapjhiintfl . will amply test the feeliiiiS ofthe _metropolis upon th " s _sul-j-H _*—a subject which is second to nunc in importance , but ujhui which the daily press preserves a dogged and _characiciisiic silence .
IRELAND . Landlords Tcrmxu" Tenants Oct . —At foot wo give a summary of this day ' s Irish news , together with a statement of Sir _Gourde _M-Jyiieux ' s tenants , wi . ich . by some _r-ccident or other , found its way into the Limerick Reporter . Youar _.-, no duulit , aware that a _large military force left the city of Liint-rirkun _Satimlny last to protect the lailiffof Sir George Molvutux , _nhUe employed , us he inleaded , in the service of ejectment * , which ejectments , ns we intend lo show , were purely of the bailiff ' s own concocting _, ihmugh his _miiJ-rpresentati _. uis to tlie agent , who resides in Duidiii , and nut the fault of our worthy agent , or mure worthy landlord .
Before we proceed further , we feel it to be ourboutidcn duty t thank , and in ms short a compass as possible , _enumerate tlie benefits conferred , and _iutmde . i to be _conferred , ou his tenantry by our hind and humane landlord ; no duulit partly under thc advice and direction ot that not less worthy geutleuiua , hi « agent , 1 ) . 11 . Sherrard , Esq . Some jeart rince sir George nduccdl . is rental on his _estates ten per cent . On his tenants complaining the land was still too high , he _commisKioiied a valuator from thecity . _ol Uubliu , it no doubt a large _tij . _inse , to value
his _tstiitc in tliis county , containing about 1000 plautatwn acres ; yet , _stiau _^ e to say , no tenant was alluwed b y this valuator to walk the lands nitli him , or show the bounds of his farm , and yet , more _strange to tell , this _vahiator went over tbe entire estate of KlOO acres , aud made his valuation in half a day , or * ix hours . The result was , the best poruow . of the land iu some parts were reduced iu rent , aud dr the worst pans , sut . ject to floods , bad in quality , Ac , the r » rits were laised—all this the act of bis bailiff , through whose advice he must have so acttd .
Another act _ofBir George's was to improve the avenues or by-ioads on the estate , for the use of Mb tenantry ; and jet , though he paid for it iu pounds , _shiilingc , and pence , Ihe bailiff compelled those unfortunate tenants to send aien snd hoises to carry on tlie work ; no doubt , it is thought , pocketing tlie surplus , and thus enriching _himstlf at tlie expense of their hard-earned _lal-our ; and by tl ns acting leaving undone Uie _nit-st iitct * sary improvea ent—namely , tlie _tialdulnitnt of the river , wliich , in ail caste of fiood , oveillows the crops of that large portion til the _tccauiry whose farms aie thereunto _adjoining .

enumemeh » manyacuofkin dne _, _sestoewonW _^ I _« ; suffice it to say , that when the disease of _*« S _£ _**?^ ° P alarmed us , we _^ te _^ o _^^ re _^ e _^ m g _^ J _* _L die rent Those tenants who owed a year ' s rent o _~ runtil theyknew . l . eissueofthcdisease , dread , ngstar" _« " ffe _desired tbe person making the application to _LTinhif _parTri J th * » would take the halfwar ' s rent , when , strange to tell , while out for his partners this ray baHitf sat with the agent , and on the tenants' return he refused to take less than the full year ' s rent ! So other reason for this change of mind , in a period of te * minutes , can be assigned than the _interference of * U busy bailiff .
"From that period up to the present , we heard no more until he came with those ejectments ; though tbe rent was tendered by tome , he refused to accept it ; and yet hisideamustbe to increase his coffers , through _tlieputting oat ot ihe old tenants and putting in new ones . We opposednot the ejectments , but the poorer classes of us being unable to pay the costs , in such a calamitous season to farmers , opposed solely on the ground , and in the firm belief , that it was the act alone of the bailiff to harass and distress us , and not the act of so humane and kind alandlord .
Feeling confident that a fair and just representation of the circumstances was needed to set the matter in its true light before the public ( as we previously offered the rent , and are still willing to pay it free of costs ) , we have thus trespassed upon your columns . The opposition , in fact , was bnt partial from us . It was principally from the persons of the surrounding districts , who saw fully the injustice attempted to be committed by the bailiff on the poorer tenantry , who were unable to pay costs ; as , had he fairly accepted their rents . it wouldhave been paid him every shilling .
_Xowletthe above graphic sketch be read in connexion with the placard , thc honourable authorship of which is charged upon Mr . O'Higgins , and substituting the real active agent , the bailiff , for the landlord and agent , who appear to be sleeping partners in all , save the receipt of rent , and the proclamation of martial law ; and with this change of mere agsnev , who will say that Air . O'Higgins OUG 11 T NOT _' TO BE PROSECUTED for so mild a denunciation of so monstrous a system ! It will not do to justify Sir George and his money-receiving tool , because the good old legal maxim , Quern facit per aliuni , facitper se ,
" Who acts by another acts himself , stands in open judgment against the two abettors of the tyrant bailiff . The character of TRUSTY to Irish landlords has been copiously exposed by Mr . O'Connor in his several letters to the Irish landlords . He has shown that this fellow is invariably a spy upon the tenants , and that his profits are made up by fines paid by incoming tenants , for his " good word to his honour . " He has an interest in the ousting of tenants , as he invariably gets a fee from the incoming tenant , and we have known of instances where such a scoundrel has been paid b y twelve different parties for his " good word . " He is in the confidence I of all who bid , and the man who is likely to pay him
best withholds his proposal to tke last , and bids a trifle more , and offers a little more by way of fine than his competitors , and then the TRUSTY satisfies the disappointed with " Wisha , God knows but I done my _hsst with his honour , " but that vagabond , Tim Doyle , " salted" it on you , " and bid beyant you . " Mr . O'Connor has also shown how these frequent oustings are resorted to by landlords and middle-men as the means of frequent _lettings , to procure fresh capital by way of fine ; and these are the ruffians to aid whom the Times calls for coercion and martial law—the principal business , no doubt , of the visit of Mr . Foster ( the Times' Commissioner ) to Ireland .
Murder . —We give the following fracas from the Waterford Chronicle , which appears to be a mere Irish row without any assignable cause , but which , of course , is set down by the Times in the general catalogue ot atrocities to swell the cry for martial law . The quarrel between the bagman , Mr . Pritchard , and the French Envoy to the court of the drunken Queen Poniare , was very near being nurtured into war by the pacific Thunderer , hut even that loses its character of insignificance when contrasted with the attempt to proclaim all _Ireland iu a state of rebellion in consequence of a blackguard row between Mr . O'Connell and Mr . Foster : —
On Thursday night , about ten o ' clock , four men , named Thomas Grant , John Halligan , James Bryan , and James Power , were proceeding from Waterford to Curraghmor , in the county of Kilkenny , thtir residence ; they had not proceeded far beyond the bridge when they overtook three men , named John Walsh , Henry Walsh , and Walter Walsh . On coming up with them the attack commenced , and , it is stated , that one of the persons now in custody , named Thomas Grant , committed fearful havoc on the Walshes , whom he strewed about the road with a heavy piece of new iron which he had in his car . As soon as the alarm was given , constable ll'Coy and some of his mer pursued the assailants , whom they succeeded in
capturing , and conveyed them back to the police-barracks at Eeri y bank , and also the sufferers , whom they found bleeding on the road . After arriving at the barracks , the sufferers identified the prisoners as the persons who assaulted them . On seeing one of the prisoners ( Thomiis Grant ) , Walter Walsh , iu identifying him , said , "Oh , it was you who slaughtered us all with the bar of iron . " Yesterday the prisoners were brought before the magis trates ; they were identi 6 ed by constable M * Coy , whose evidence corresponds with what we have stated . The prisoners were remanded . One of the Walshes , an old man , died yesterday evening in the leper _IlorpitaJ , where his fellow-sufferers are lying in a hopeless state .
WEDNESDAY . "The Daily News . "—Thc appearance of this daily journal stands , naturally enough , as the first item in our daily summary . As , however , it is too much the custom to offer premature opinion upon a new acquaintance , whieh a more intimate knowledge may compel us to retract or qualify , we postpone any _expres-iou of opinion upon the attributes and qualifications of our new companion until after to-morrow morning ' s call , merely observing for the present that we wish eur visitor to scrape a LEETLE of the League mud eff his feet , and to rub them well in the ROPE rug before he allows himself to be announced ; add to which , a sprinkle of eau de Cologne , to correct the stink of the stationer , would be found useful . We will amuse our new companion with an anecdote . A little huntsman , one Andy Callaghan , who once lived with us . and recovered many a wily fox that
was supposed to be lost for ever , also served Lord Carberry in his calling as huntsman . The hounds of the noble lord were once running a doomed old dog fox breast high through the domain of Castlefreake , and Lady Carberry being a regular game ' un , made _« ne of the field . CHARLEY , whether from instinct , or spite to _htr ladyship for allowing him to be persecuted , or from being hard pressed , rattled through a treasured bank of violets , to which her ladyship attached great store . Her ladyship was not aware that Charley ' s stink had perfumed the violets , and was in the act of luxuriating in the perfume , _obs-rr ' ng to a brother sportsman how delicious the sn . e 1 of those violets was . The words just reached little Andy ' s ear as he galloped up , with a yoicks , and found thc hounds puzzling between the two smells of Charley and ihe violets . " D—n their _sowls , " exclaimed Andy , " I lost my fine fox through the mains of the stink of them woiolits . "
Moral : We woula recommend our new friend not to lose his fine character through the mains of the stink of them League and them stationers . _Fhee TitAnE . —A little girl once asked her mother " if what one person said was true ? " " No , my dear , " was the reply . Is what two say , ma ? " " No , my dear . " "Three , mamma ? " "No , mydear . it nt _' _-ty not . " " Well , then , is what every body says true , mamma V " Oh , yes , certainly , my dear . " 44 Well , then , every body says , mamma , that you arc aw . " Now , really , if we thought that the marvellous coincidence of opinion that appears to prevail in all the daily papers that we read , the Times , the Baily News , the Chronicle , and the Morning
Advertiter , was any proof that all the world thought like them , we should say that protection only requires tomorrow ' s wave of the Premier ' s magical wand to dissolve it for ever . We are literally suffocated with rubbish on this subject ; blinded with the dust raised by the wind from the QUARTER OF A MILLION FUND . However , like the little girl ' s mother , we cannot believe that what four uneifted prophets dream in their cocklofts at night is indicative of what every body says . The sailors whistle for a breeze ; and the cap full of wind—the little puff that will come from her Majesty ' s sweet lips to-morrow , will arrest the "TRADE WIND" and check the
hurricane . TnE _PnoiEcnoxisTs . —The jolly farmers and their jolly " friends" are going on like a house on fire , and so slender is their loyalty , that if to-morrow ' s speech should suggest the slightest inroad upou their cherished privileges , their lend denunciation of their own chosen man will be exchanged for free expression of disloyalty towards their Queen . Monet . Market . —Really the dodgers , with the help of the government OPERATOR , have got the pulse ofthe patient up a bit , in the expectation that
the FASCINATING FINANCIER will propose some easy means of stumping the required deposits on railways . We guess , however , that this morning ' s news from France will cause are-action , if not a relapse , as itis decidedly warlike—that is , it breathes a determii . ation that if England does go to war with America she shall _fightlicr battle alone . The share market , however , one of the most profitable sources of speculation to the jobbers , is " stale , flat , and unprofitable ! " in fact , that we are near something , aud not one ofthe old somethings , that meant nothing , is evident .
Joe Home and the Whigs . —Joey has written a little letter to Tait , of _Edinburgh , denouncing Whigs aud Whiggery , declaring that Lord John Russell ' s refusal to introduce a sufficient amount of free trade blood into his Cabinet was the cause of his failure . Joe , we presume , from his predilection for brown bread , asserts that one-half of the Cabinet should have consisted of free-traders . Doesn ' t he wish he

may get it ? aud what a wetaU . torfthe . people would _eet from such bakers \\ Now _^ _thts is the _wety _, thiri _£ ££ . _;» rSTe have always contended , namely , and the controllers of MACHINERY . Captain _Peohem . and the LonsTEits .-Thc gallant member for Brighton , in his address to us tenants , assures them that there is no danger to beapp chended from free trade , as lobsters arc already unprotected , and command a legitimate pneeintto market . We wish protection was taken off RAW LOBSTERS , aud they wouid very speedily become scarce in the market . Verily , free trade lucubrations are beginning to illumine the depths of the sea . When the League ' s altitudinal height Had illumined the depths of the sea , The fishes beginning to sweat , . Oried , d-n it , how hot WE shall be !
IRELAND . _TlfE IlWSH CUASCBLLC-n AND THE NEW ClUKl ? JusTiCE .-In stating the great and manifold changes consequent upon the promotion or dismissa of a great law functionary , we declared our inability teenter upon a consideration ot the several collateral branches , and hence were unable to fix Lord de Grey ' s price for the adoption of Mr . Gladstone . This collateral question is likely to be brought to an issue between the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and the new Chief Justice , both claiming a tight to tlie appointment of deputy keeper of the rolls . Thc Irishman says that the right vests in the Crown , and the Englishman says that it vests with himself . Surely he must be right , as a Saxon Irish Chancellor weighs more in the scale than all Ireland ; aud why not ? when M . Guizot contends that the President of Texas outnumbers the whole population of that republic .
PnoGRxss of RhrEAL . —At the Conciliation Hall on Monday last , Dan proposed that all the Repeal members should meet in Dublin on the following Friday , and asserted that from fifteen to sixteen , AT THE LEAST , should be present . Dan , we'll give you sixteen ; and what has become of the remaining twenty-seven ? for we had forty-three upon the glorious division into which we forced you in 1 S 43 . This is the way the Repeal cause has progrcsed in the House of Commons and in Ireland . Irisu Moral Force . — We give the following specimen of Dan ' s theory upon the subject of moral force . He don't say what his practice would be , that ' s generally left to others to carry out . The threat and tender of Irish arms to fight England ' s
battles if she gets justice , would , if we were not strong in faith , turn us into Anti-Repealers , but it i 8 toanatioii ' swill , aiidnottoajugglcr _' scaprice , that we look for the nation's triumph . Can words be more slavish , or principle more base , than will be found in the following short summary of the Liberator ' s pacifico warlike lucubration . '' He would go to England to know whether the minister meant that *—( that is , whether the minister meant to adopt the recommendation of the Duke of Cambridge , that the Irish people should live upon a mixture of potatoes and grass ); if he did , they would—as it was the duty of every man to do—an alternative to wliich God forbid they should be reduced!—to go w ith A RMS IN THEIR HANDS . ( Tremendous cheering . )
They must know we are not such abject wretohes as not to use the poor privilege of the worm . But what was the condition of England ? America had virtually declared war agtuust her . The moderate men in Congress havespoken , but all their speeches point to war . It is most likely a war will come on . We have no interest in that war . The sons , and brothers , and relations of the Irish people are received in that country with hospitality , and wc will not make war upon them . I'll say these things in the House as well as here . But let England give us justice , and we'll shout in the front of her battle , and at its close we shall cry victory ! ( Great applause . ) In 1782 the Irish people gave 30 , 000 men to Rodney , and enabled him to break the French fleet to atoms . We
are ready to do so again for England , but let her burn the parchment , and make an union of oui hearts . England then may dare the world , for Ireland will be free . " The hon . and learned gentleman then denounced the men who shed blood . " Thc country was cursed by their erimes , which called down the arm of God ' s vengeance . " There , reader , the Irish people have no interest in butchering their relatives in America , but if England does justice to Ireland—that is , gives O'Connell patronage—then irishmen will shout for thc triumph of England over tlieir friends and relatives in America , and the Irish , no doubt , will scatter the American fleet as they scattered the French fleet under Rodney . Ogh , Dan , by my sowl , but yere an ould woman . What do youthink England would be doing all the time ?
The LinERATon and TnE Irish Orangemen . —Dan has thrown out a bait te the Irish Orange leaders to meet the Repeal members on Friday next to form a coalition for justice to Ireland . We said , at Leicester , in 1839 , that Dan would die a holy Tory , and if Peel succeeds in getting such a majority upon the next general election as will make him independent of Dan and the Whigs , Dan will throw up his castor for Peel , and take bis seat in the House of Lords under the honourable title of Earl Eumhug in Ireland , and Baron Jim Crow in England . Real Irish Sympathy for America . —Mr . Henry Grattan , in his speech at Conciliation Hall , said " THAT TUE IRISH PEOPLE WOULD PAY
NO TAXES , AND GIVE NO SUPPORT TO ANY INSANE WAR FOR OREGON , TO WHICH ENGLAND HAD NO RIGHT . " That ' s a capital little speech , Harry , much better than all the rubbish your old dad spoke for the £ 50 , 000 he got from the Saxon for following Ireland ' s corse to her grave .
FOREIGN . France . —The news from-France this morning is most cheering . We give it rather fully , as it conveys the intimation that M . Guizot no more represents France than the President of Texas represents that republic , and from it the reader will learn that the French people , as far as their _prass represents them , will not burn their fingers in a war with America at thc bidding of England . It is very curious to see the manner in which the two great European bullies ( France and England ) deal with the war question ; each says fight , but both say" You ' re none of my child . "
France would hare no objection that England should exhaust her strength and resources in an unprofitable and unpopular war , while England would have no objection to see tbe strength of France divided between Europe , Africa , and America . Upon the whole , it appears that war is a ticklish game , that the league of people will not encourage the league of kings to play at . Here follow the extracts ; we preface them with the comment from the 2 im < w : — . We have received by our ordinary express the Paris papers of 3 fonday , with letters from several of our foreign correspondent !; .
Those journals are almost exclusively taken up with the Oregon quest ori , which they regard as exceedingly menacing . They also refer to our internal affairs , aud profess to be very doubtful of Sir Robert Peel ' s being able to carry his proposed alteration of the Corn Laws . They hazard guesses at the probable course and issue of thc debate on the address in the Chamber of Deputies , which commenced on that day , and which , with every appearance of being borne out by the fact , they anticipate will be a very stormy one . The _National states , that "it appears by the accounts from tha United States beyond all doubt that public opinion in the Union i 6 in favour of the occupation of the contested territory without any concession to England , "
"Atpresent , " adds theAatienal , "the solution ofthe discussion cannot be distant , and even admitting that it maybe adjourned by some Parliamentary tactics , it will be impotent to prevent the wishes of the nation from being accomplished . Oregon must belong sooner or later to tlie United States , and if England refuses to yield it , it is war . " " It is impossible , " says the Siecle , " to terminate our summary of thc accounts from the United States without expressing a wish , tliat in the solemn discussion which is about to be commenced in the Chamber of Deputies the policy of France with respect to the United States , may _betome the object ofa most profound examination . In a war pur « ly continental , France aud the United States might preserve their mutual independence ; but in a contest in which tlie liberty of the seas and the rights of national nags are necessarily engaged , there is between the United States and us a complete and consolidated alliance . "
The _Coiutituticmiiel observes that " the last accounts from America are calculated to cause the greatest alarm in _England . All those , likewise , in America , who desire the preservation of peace have taken the alarm , and all their hopes are centred in Mr . Calhoun , who was for so long a time the object of the violent attacks of the British press . The British journals expect that the united efforts of Mr . Calhoun and of the Whi g party , by causing the success of the motion , will permit the President to continue the negotiations . But this expectation , dependent on a thousand fluctuations of parties , is but fragile- and if the imprudent words spoken by M . Guizot be known sufficiently early in the United State 6—words which the English journals so greedily seized upon they may create tlie same irritation throughout the country which bis speech of last year excited , and cause a complete change of public opinion .

The Times , in sieakiRg of the Electoral _questioriiBays- _^ q _-f " "The coalition of the journalists , of all shades of the Opposition , to achieve Electoral reform , is , we ave assured , deemed of somewhat serious import b y the French government . " That ' s the ticket for soup ! Only let the French press be true to this cause , and tha ninet eenth tyrant of the name will soon dread its virtue as niuctt as the fourteenth tyrant dreaded the Amsterdam Gazette . SrAitf . —The Lost PRESioENT .-The Madrid Gazette of the 13 th instant states , that the Minister ofthe Interior had received a communication trom the Political Chief of _Guipuzcoa , announcing that a bottle had been found floating in the water near Motrico , containing a paper , of the contents ot which the following words only could bedeciphered : — . . .. _ -
Ship President . Wo are blocked up in ice , and w _« t can ' t live much time . . . Kind friend will acquaint our . . . Wc are dying of hunger . . . I am fainting . . . If , if . . . The bottle was found by some fishermen , and handed to the Alcalde of Motrico , a few leagues from San Sebastian . A copy ofthe paper has been communicated to tho British Minister . _Swisuen . — Accounts from Stockholm of the 30 th of December state , that Sweden is suffering severely from the effects of scarcity of provisions . The greatest alarm lest a complete famin e might ensue was felt in many parts , particularly in Upland . The Government had made large purchases of corn from Russia , and had likewise afforded pecuniary relief to the suffering peasantry . So urgent had been the distress , that the troops had been employed to break tho ice , for thc sake of facilitating the approach of corn-laden ships .
Warsaw . —Polakd _' s Rbvbnoe . —The bloody deeds of the tyrant make him shudder at his own shadow , as from the following announcement it will be seen tliat he has frowned upon his second self — Letters from Warsaw state , that the Emperor Nicholas , in his passage through that capital , had treated Prince Paskcivitz witli great coolness , and has even expressed to him his disapprobation of the late political arrests . It is reported that the Emperor , who arrived here en tho 4 th inst ., had a conversation with the Prince Governor , in which his Majesty expressed his displeasure at tho late arrests . This is very possible , especially as tlie Emperor on a former occasion is said to have forbidden any discovery of conspiracy for the future , because on the one hand such proceedings irritated the minds of tho people , and on the other hand put the treasury to great expense . We do not know what excuse the Gorentor made , but itis certain that the Emperor is much dissatisfied with him .
Ah , ah , you tyrant ' . so the loss sustained by the treasury , AND TIIE IRRITATION OF THE GROWING MIND OF POLAND , have extracted trom your black heart what you refused to thc wailings of the mother and thc orphan , and the groans of the dying patriot . Oh , may the slackness of your treasury , and the irritation of the Polish mind , hurl you from your throne of despotism !
THURSDAY . So much of to-day's news is mattor of speculation as to wbat the Queen and her Parliament may say , that we can , fortunately , spare our space for a full _Import of the glorious festival that came oft" last night iu honour of Labour ' s Champion . " The Dailt News . " —After a long chat with our new acquaintance upon his second call , we feel constrained to register our opinion upon so important a subject at greater length than a mere paragraph in our summary would admit ; suffice it to say , that he has had the rudeness to call again this morning with not only yesterday ' s free trade mud , but this morning ' s sludge fresh upon his boots , and smells more than ever of the stationer .
The Speech . —Although presuming that Mr . Duncombe's guess at the substance of the Royal Speech , as well as the modest allusions made by the morning papers to what may be an outline of the document , we prefer waiting for tho whole thing , body and sleeves , that we may analyse it according to that criticism which Royal WORDS demand . There is a great deal iu a single word , and the newspapers being obliged to rely upon the memories of their several communicants , mayhavc failed to catch the essential words upon whick so much depends .
Ministerial Entertaikmknts . — The Duke had a Ministerial dinner party , consisting of forty old women in breeches ; Peel had his picture gallery full of old ladies iu court dresses ; but poor little John could only muster a snug party of twenty , LOUD GREY MISSING ; while Duncombe , according to the accounts of all the morning papers , was honoured with a company of 2 , S 00 , as many as the room could hold , of honest , decent , intelligent sons of toil , upon the fruits of whose industry all the other parties were regaling themselves .
IRELAND . The only news from unhappy Ireland is , thatthe town of Mullingar was literally _thronged to excess during the whole of Monday , by the friends and relations of the prisoners who are confined in the gaol of that town , and who are to be tried by special commission now sitting there . That ' s from Ireland , but for Ireland there is something more in store . Last year a message of peace was sent to Slaveland ; this year a proclamation of war is the most prominent feature in the Royal speech . This subject also requires a more extensive comment than a mere passing observation in our daily summary , and , with God ' s blessing , it shall hare it .
FOREIGN . We havo little foreign news to notice to-day , bcyend an outbreak of a serious character in Spain , the particulars of whicli we give at length : — _Barcelona , Jan . 13 . —General Breton has again taken the held at the head of the expeditionary column attached to the army of Catalonia . It appears that a courier from the Comtnandxnt-Gcneralof the province of Girona arrived early this morning , with the intelligence of a party of insurgents having crossed tha French frontier , and erected the standard ol revolt in the Ampurdau , and that numbers had Hocked thereto . The division which had lately accompanied General Breton iu his campaign against the conscripts , and wliich remained still organized as for active serrice , nas instantly put under arms , and marched hence within an hour , the Captain-General and staff having followed en paste a fen- hours after .
A thousand strange rumours are current here . Itis asserted by some that this rising is the work ofthe nianu . facturers to deter ministers from carrying out the new system of tariff duties . Others believe it to bo the echo of the manifestation of Prince Henry , and consequently a Piogre 6 i 6 ta movement , to which the late violent measures of Giueral Breton in the Auipurdan give some hopes of success , as public indignation was there _rousid to thc highest pitch _. Those who have entered Spain from France in armed bands are said to be the young men who had abandoned their homes and crossed the frontier to avoid the _conscription .
One thing has caused considerable surprise here , whicli is , that these armed bands could have crossed the French frontier iuto Spain without the knowledge of the French police , who have , ever since ihe fall ofthe ltegent , displayed the utmost vigilance , and thereby defeated several attempts to enter the mountain districts by patties of insurgents . Many people ask , can tins entry have any reference to the known desire manifested by French officials to favour the Catalonian manufacturers iu their efforts to resist the government in the application ef the new law of Aranceks ?
_Nolanguiigocaa describe to you ths additional excitement and deep sensation produced here by the departure of the Captain-General , and the occurrence which has caused it . That authority was making his preparations to enforce the fulfilment of the conscription here within the city after the 15 th , to which date , as I mentioned in a former letter , the time for compliance therewith was extended . His plans are for the present frustrated by the insurrection of the Ampurdan , and those who would in all probability have been forced to enter the ranks of the army proclaim a victory , and have employed the evening of to-day in singing songs of triumph at the cafes and refreshment-rooms frequented by the lower class . The whole garrison ib under arms to-night , and strong bodies of horse and foot parade the streets in all directions . The performances at the theatres have been ordered to be suspended aud the inhabitants to retire to their houses at nine o'clock .
The strength of the garrison , fully 8 , 000 men , is , 1 think , sufficient assurance that the tranquillity ofthe city cannot be permanently endangered . Some outbreaks may take place , but it is the general opinion that they will be at once put down , as the General second in command inspires much confidence from his _nrmueis and clemency . The English reader will understand that in foreign terms conscript has the same meaning as being balloted for the militia , and their rulers will see that in Spain the services of the regular army are required to coerce thc conscripts . In the year 1798 ever } means was resorted to to induce the militia soldiers to volunteer into the line ; about 300 of the Cork and Kerry militias did volunteer , but subsequently gave free expression to their dissatisfaction , and were accordingly ordered ibr instant transportation to Chatham . Three hundred Irishmen , all of one mind , are not easily dealt with , and , consequently , the authorities fouit t
nd necessary o use coercive measures with the Paddies . Lord Cathcart happened to be in Cork upon a tour of regimental duty , and coming into the city at an early hour , he met the 300 gallant soldiers handcuffed and chained , under a strong military escort " What , " said his lordship , addressing the officer in command , " are all these rebels ? " * ' No , mv lord " _J _^ S _™ _^ . . _"t- _'ey are the Irish VOLUN-1 _& h , KS > .

It will be seen by the correspondent that it is supposed the th _? p _K _, _te ? r 0 t UP the outbreak to protect 1 I 1 L 1 R MONOPOLY ; a thing not at all unWly , _M the manufacturers of Spain , like the landlords oi England would see the country deluged with blood to uphold their privileges .

The " Times" and its _Peophect . —As message after message warns us of the scanty space that can be allowed our summary , - we-must cut it short . However , we cannot forbear sympathising w ith the poor Times , that reviles the speech that was to have been its Sir Oracle , for not having even mentioned CORN ; and yet the Time * , with a huge bump of hope , and a huger bump of impudence , manfully contends that its prophecy has been fulfilled . There is some old story about the height of this and the height of that , and about thc " height of impudence ; " but we say the Times is the height of impudence . The Times complains that silk , sugar , and all the rest of * it , and even the potatoe , have been subjects of Royal notice , but not corn . Now , after the speech , we tell
theTimes that Peel WILL NOT REPEAL THE coUn LAWS . Thk "Daily News . "—Late last night , and with an aching heart , or rather early this morning , wc registered our opinion of our new acquaintance , and after a third visit this _morning , having minutely scanned him again , wc must cut his acquaintance , merely observing—bad luck to the stink of that Fox , we lost our fine paper through the " mains" of him . If we criticise sharply we have a right to explain fully . Threenumbersoftliis new paper have appeared then , each number has had three leaders , each leader has had three objects—league support , book
support , and railroad support-evcry one of them , without exception , a toss up of the old free trade hash , and a bad one too , without spice ; but , still further , our very worst apprehensions have been realised , as we shall show . . Our complaint ef late years has been that all politics have merged into money speculation , which constitutes the demon centralisation upon which the despotic power of the Minister is based ; and from the following passage , extracted from tho third free-trade leader in this morning's Daily News , it will he seen that our new acquaintance stoutly advocates this destructive policy of centralisation . Here follows the proof : —
OUR NATIONAL FATE HAS NOW PLAINLY DECLARED ITSELF AS A MERCANTILE ONE , AND PARLIAMENTS AND PARTIES STRIVE IN VAIN AGAINST TIIE STERN NECESSITY THAT MAKES IT SO . OUR COMMERCIAL INTEREST HAS ALREADY OUTGROWN EVERY OTHER ; AND HAVING TO STRUGGLE , ON EVERY HAND , AGAINST THE ENCRO ACHMENTS OF OTHER INTERESTS , IT FOLLOWS , AS A MATTER OF COURSE , THAT IT SHOULD MAKE ITSELF PROMINENT IN EVERY POLITICAL DISCUSSION OF
IMPORTANCE . Militia . —If we were to publish all the thanks and laudations received from every corner ofthe empire , for Mr .

'" in this week ' s Star .
IRELAND , Patrick O'Higgins . —We regret to state that next week we fearfully anticipate the task of announcing to our readers an extensive conspiracy , not only against the liberty , but against the life of our Irish chief . A conspiracy that has been hatched in hell , under the auspices of the Liberator , and nurtured by his tool , the old clothesman , Tom Arkins . —It would not only be premature , but imprudent , to make a too early development of the facts ; suffice it to say , that every engine is at work to fix thc identity of Molly Maguire upon O'Uisgins . Wc dare not trust ourselves with further comment on this painful subject—painful , that so many thousands of Irish money should have gone to sanctify the character of spies , and that there should be found one man in Ireland base _enoiidi to turn approverand thirst for a brother ' s blood .

The Parsons Again.'—Bail Coubt, Jan. 17....
The Parsons Again . '—Bail _Coubt , Jan . 17 . —[ Before Mr . Justice Williams . ]—CriminalZii / ormation—7 _'dc <}« ee « v . the Rev . Josiah Bartlelt . —The Attorney-General applied to his lordship for a rule , calling upon the Rev . Josiah Bartlett to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against hiin , for sending a letter to his sisterin-law , a married lady , named Tozer , containing a most cruel and scandalous libel upon her chaructcr . The learned counsel then proceeded to state tbe circumstances which gave rise to ths application , The defendant is a clergyman of the established church , and is brothcr-inlaw to the lady in whose behalf the application was made . From thc near relationship of thc parties , and the nature
of the details which it would be his painful duty to state to the court , the friends of the parties and they themselves were equally anxious that the facts should not be brought before ' the public ; but it had unfortunately happened that some particulars ofthe unfortunate affair had already been published in ono of the local newspapers , therefore whutever reason there might hare been for forbearance was now abandoned , and the applicant was compelled thus publicly to state the circumstances , and to seek for the protection ofthe court . The defendant was officiating minister of the parish of _Ivington , in Leominster , and also the chaplain of the Leominster Union . He resided at Broadwood , a place about a mile and a half from Leominster . He was married about fourteen years ago , and had now six children . In the
month of November last Mrs . _Toscer received a very painful and distressing letter from her sister ( the defendant ' s wife ) , announcing that it was the defendant ' s inteution to separate from her—that letter enclosed one from the defendant to his wife , in which he declared that such was his firm determination . The letter of Mrs . Bartlett to Mrs . Tozer urged the litter , who was the wife of a highly respectable merchant , to come to her at Broadwood as early as possible ,, and she lost no time in complying with that request , and she arrived at Broadwood on the 1 st of D « cember . The defendant was absent from home on her arrival . She was accompanied to Broadwood by her brother , who remained tlnre until thc VJthof that month . On that day the defendant returned home somewhat unexpectedly , and on his arrival Mrs . Tozer and her brother
left tho house , but wishing to afford their couusel and advice to their sister under the circumstances in which she was placed , they took lodgings at Leominster , and visited Broadwood occasionally . The defendant , how . ever , was extremely irritated at their doing so , in consequence of which they resolved to discontinue their visits for a short period . They , however , revisited Mrs . Bartlett on the 17 th , and after having had a short interview with her they ware ahout to leave the house when a son of the defendant , a lad about twelve years of age , begged of them to return , as the defendant wished to see them . They did so , whereupon the
_defendant , addressing Mrs . Tozer in a very angry tone , said , "What do you mean by remaining at Leominster and disgracing me V and he insisted upon Mrs . Tozer and her brother quitting the neighbourhood . Mrs . Tozer , however , in reply to this attack , told the defendant that he had no right to control her movements ; on hearing which observation the defendant advanced towards her in a menacing attitude , and apparently with the intention of striking her , when she said , "Don ' t strike me , as you have already done my sister . " She immediately left the house , and in the course of the same evening she received the following letter from the defendant : — " Broadwood , Thursday , Dec . 18 , 1845 .
" Mariana—Unless you express your regret for the outrage committed here yesterday before my children and servants , 16 hall try and let such conduct find its punishment by exposing you to Mr . Tozer . You know what I mean , and you will then repent your outrageous conduct to me as long as you live . I will not put up with your acting in this way . I suppose you have not received my note on this point which I forwarded to you from London a fortnight since . What I say I say . And then , in all probability , the fall of both daughters will be that of the mother . I win do it unless your express you regret for your conduct yesterday . —Yours , "j . b
P . S . —I look upon yourself as the author of all this misery , for it is all attributable to your letters to Louisa . " Your conduct yesterday seems to say there is an overruling influence , contriving your own separation from your husband , as the result of your bringing about ours . Sin generally finds its punishment . You know not how much depends en your decision in this matter . If you will humble yourself , I will yet forgive you . I say this in sincerity and truth . ' Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " Ou receipt of this letter Mrs . Tozer , in the absence of her husband , resolved to take no notice of it ; but on tlie 19 th she received a » other letter from the defendant , of which the following is a copy : — " Friday Evening , Dec . 19 , 1845 .
"Mariana—lam led to think from yourunaccountable conduct that some unpleasantness has arisen between yourself and your husband , by reason of the note I sent to you—not knowing you had left home , and that your stay here is thus to be accounted for—I cannot help writing to say , although you have acted as you have , that there was nothing in the note which need absolutel y involve you , or that would not admit of explanation as it regarded other members of your family . If you will be . have well , I will help you through anything ; but if you persist in annoying me , you can only expect the contrary . Your exceeding bitterness to me , and your exceedingly soirowful looks , speak volumes to my mind . But bad as your conduct has been to me , I can yet remember mercy . I doubt not that your husband opened the letter but there is nothing to fear to this time . —Yours '
"Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " <« j B The learned counsel then said that there was not the slightest reason for supposing that anything unpleasant had taken place between Mr . Tozer and his wife , or that he had the slightest suspicion ofthe propriety of her conduct . The above letters of the defendant prepared the way for the charge thut he afterwards made against her in a letter containing a most atroeious libel upon her character . It ran as follows : — "Mariana—Having forbidden you to enter my doors I consider your coming here this afternoon , at the time you knew I should be from home , just like your sneakimr underhand conduct . *
" You have not only been the author of any unpleasantness which may have existed here , but you have most grossly insulted me before my children and servants , and instead of being sorry for such conduct , vou now deliberately continue to annoy me , by _comineherein _« , >• tt _bsence . Now then , oi * as much of this as you like . I won t sutler your conduct to interrupt the harmony _subsistug here , but I shall write to-morrow to your husband , and tell him how mud . he is deceived in thinking he ha got a pious woman for his wife . 1 shall frame such _ques

_tions for him to put to you , as will make you confess _yout former conduct , and tlie lengths you have gone—n « v « t mind with whom—you may tell if you like—so that _your character !!! as having any pretensions to be considered a modest woman , shall be fully understood . The fact ' s you were not a maiden when you married . I mean _aiJ to open Louisa ' s eyes as to your real character—and if she won't believe it , I will request her to ask you herself She will then see how far you are likely to have her haa _pincss more at heart than myself . " Ail this has arisen from your insolent letters ; W people who live in glass-houses should not throw stones " At I feel that this once done cannot be undone , and that you will be an outcast to society if I write , as I _& % intend , to your husband , and the eldest daughter , 1 mean to give you till one o ' clock to-morrow to express your regret , and if I do not receive a satisfactory letter before that time , I will expose you , and shall tell Louisa point blank what you know . _tinna for him to mit to vou . n « will _makftvnii _MnF ...
" The fact is , you tried hard to seduce your own sister ' s husband ; and if I had known of your coming here to . day , and thus exciting remark among the neigh hourli ( _, Q _ I would have stayed at home and asked you a question before your brother , and if I had thought of it the day you were here , I would have asked yeu then . I suspect you are ruined in character now in your husband ' s esti . ¦ nation , and this accounts for your stopping here . You are the last person surely to talk about character aft er your own libertinism . "At ono o ' clock to-morrow I will tell Louisa how mud , I know about you , unless you express your regret , and promise to amend your conduct " . That you may know she knows , I will pross her to ask you herself .
" Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " Out of regard to thc feelings of her sister , she had for . b » rnc to make her husband acquainted with the partita _, larsof the former letters of the defendant ; but , on t _* receipt of the hitter one , she felt that it was a duty she owed to herself as well as to her husband to _plase the let . ters in his hands . She did so by tho advice other friends she now applied to that court for protection . She was ' thereby placed in the painful and humiliating position o £ being compelled to deny upon her oath that there was the slightest foundation for thc charges which the defendant had _brought against her . The defendant having stated that she had endeavoured to seduce her sister ' s husband she had been compelled to state in her affidavit the onl y circumstance that could for one moment explain an in .
sinuution of the kind . Some time previous to her mar . riage , but after her sister _hed b « en married to the defen . dant , hehad actually endeavoured to take indecent liber _, ties with her , and which she _indiynantly repelled . Out of kindness and forbearance to him , on account of his position , and out of delicacy to her sister , she haa never mentioned the circumstance , nor would she have done so now , but that she felt herself compelled to take such u step after the charge which thc defendant had made against her . The learned counsel , after some further remarks on the case , in conclusion , said he trusted thut , under all the circumstances , his Lordshi p would consider it one for thc interference of the court ,
and that he would _j ; rant the rule applied for , which was the only immediate redress which Mrs . Tozer could ob . tain . With regard to an action at law , such a proceeding was out of the question , inasmuch as thc letter , having been sent to Mrs . Tozer herself , no such action could be maintained against the defendant , and with reference to proceedings by indictment there would he considerable delay , for the defendant might obtain leave to traverse the indictment . Mrs . Tozer was anxious to obtain the immediate interposition ofthe court , in order that her character might be fully vindicated from the foul aspersions which the defendant had bo unfeelingly cast upon it . Mr . Justice Williams granted a rule to show cause .
