The Montreal Herald says that Sir John Colborne has demanded the invaders fnm the Governor of Vermont , on the charge of arson . A . trooper , bearing dispatches , was waylaid , robbed , and unmercifially t > eaten , on the night of Dec . 31 , near Chauteaaguay . The robbers were six Canadians , accordiag to the Herald , They were afterwards captured . Major-Geoeral Scott and Colonel Worth arrived in Albany on Friday from the N orthern frontier aad took lodgings at Congress-hall .
The Montreal Herald of the € th January has the following paragraphs : —In -consequence of apprehensions hav « g been entertained that an invasion wonld be attempted at Missisqooi Bay , orders were issued to the guarSR , the 25 tb , 66 th , * and 7 Ut regiments to proceed to the frontier , and two companies of Col . Dyer ' s volunteer battalion to proceed to Pnillipsbarg . Major Drnnie returned yesterday from the frontier ; and we understand that " in censeqoence of a favourable report made by him these orders have been to a certain extent countermanded . That something is to be attempted on the frontier is beyond a doubt , but we very much qaestion if it will be beyond a predatorv incursion such a * that at Beech Ridge .
We mentioned a few days age that a trooper had bees waylaid by half a dose * Canadian * , Dear Beaoharnais , been dreadfully beaten by them , robbed of his arms , which were afterwards recaptured , and , that in the scuffle , a Canadian was gbot in the shoulder . "We have since been informed , on the best authority , that the trooper alone was to blast , for being htlf ^ runk , he went into a Canadian honse , and demanded liquor , putting his pistols to an old man ' s breast , and threatened to shoct him iJ M * request was not granted , whereupon the sod of the old maa wrested the pistol from the trooper ' s grasp . The trooper went out of the house and procared the assistance of some of his comrades , one of whom did actuallv shoot a Canadian in the
shoulder in the most wanton manner . The two troopers were placed under arrest by their commanding officer , and a conrt of inquiry was held , which resulted ia establishing their un « oldieriy behaviour , and thev were prompts dismissed the
s . CANADA . The court-martial organised at Kingston adjourned on the 4 th January , to the 26 ± February . It is . suggested bythe Kingston Chronicle rhajtbe adjournment is probably owing to the condition of the wounded prisoners , nine of whom are stillin the hospital , and cannot be reaoved . The Chronitle gives the statistics of the prisoners as follows : —The number of prisoners tried by the court is 140 ; remaining untried in Fort Henry , four ; remaining untried in hospital , nine ; died m hespital , two ; Queen ' s evidence , four j total number taken , 159 ; tea have been already executed .

If peace commences on our side , and no more attacks are made , we shall soon see an end ef thi « disgraceful bosnefw . We are « orry to fee that the anniversary of the burning of the Caroline steamer , an eteut professedly regretted at the time , has been made the occasion of a very indiscreet and mischievous exhibition of party spleen on both sides We qaote the following from a Detroit paper : — " Tbe Bdkxikg of the Caboline . —An
attempt was made at Detroit , on the anniversary of the destruction of the Carol ' uie , to get up an excitement in aid of the Patriot cause . Celonel Prince and M'Nabb were burned in effigy . The interference of the authorities prevented any further disturbances . " The same paper , however , remarks : — " We see by the following that folly is not confined to our side of over the boundary line . The burning of the Caroline was celebrated in Toronto , Upper Canada , on the 29 th ult ., _ by the principal dozens of that place , by a public dinner . Among those present we find tbe names of the Hon . Mr . Elmsley , one of her Majesty ' s Executive Councillors . Dr . T . Holpb , lately appointed by Sir George Arthur to the 1 st Gore Regiment , was in tbe chair . He
proposed , after a lengthy speech ,, the following toast , which was ' rapturously' drank with three times three I— ' Commodore Drew , Captain Elmsley , their gallant coadjutors , and the valiant crew , wko sent tbe Caroline in flames from Scnlosaer over the Falls , on the nightof tor 29 th December , 1837- ' The Hon . * Mr .

Extraordinary Casb of Burning . >—Av inquest was held on Saturday , in Tothill-street , Westminster , on the body of a child , four years of age , named Fuller , whose death took place under singular circumstances . It appeared that deceased was the f » on of a man recently transported , and that his motheT has since bten cohabiting with another Hian . On Friday week an alarm of fire having been given , the landlord of the house in which the parties lived , entered the room , when he found tbe child lying on , a bed jn the middle of the room , alone , and quite naked , and the bed on fire in no fewer than fourteen places . The child ' s back was burned in a roost dreadful manner , but no other part of his body ,
nor was a hai * of his head sinRed . On being taken to the hospital , he said " tbe fire had come to him , ' * and that ; he had not been playing with it . He died on Saturday . The mother " said she left the child dres » ed playing before the fire , but no fire was found in the grate nor tbe remains of any clothes . The jury expressed their dissatisfaction with the evidence , and resolved on an adjournment . They thought tbe mother ought to be t » ke " n into custody , but the coroner did Hot consider the evidence sufficient to justify that proceeding . The poor child was rather deformed , and is said to have been ill-treated on many occasions by its motber and her paramour . The nwt borriWe rumours are in circulation in the neighbourhood .
The Corn Law Humbug . Whether the policy of altering the present Corn Law will , or w . jll pot , form a topic in the Queen ' s forthcoming speech , i- the question which may amuse the spt-culativt for tbe next few days . Monday next will solve that mystery . Meanwhile let *? agitation " takt ^ k .- free course . If there were no other or rather no mure momentous political topic before the public , we should recommend most earnestly the furtherance of Corn Law Repeal—but as the question , tbe all important question of Equal Political Rights has been mooted , a * tbe public mind seems ripe to entertain it , a . < hundred * of thousands have met to promote it , « petition * are more numerously-signed than
petitions on any other subject ever bace been signed , we cannot but advise the friend * of liberty to add their voices and lend all tbeir influence to obtain that reform in onr institutions which will include the repeal of tbe Corn Laws and-of all other oppressive abuses now sanctified by laws which the people do not make . We must repeat that we do not kelieve the oligarchy would . permit even the Tepeal of the Corn Law * to work well for the eommuirity . If heaven were to rain down " manna "—coru , wine , and oil—tbe privileged claw would find a way to appropriate the bouisty to thenwjelves . While the aristocracy hold a-monopoly of power , be sure they will never give up , uales * nominally and collusively , any monopoly of profit . For icetance , they might abohxh all
compulsory relief for the poor , and pretend they were justified after the legislative proteciion was taken from their land—or they might vote a compensation to themselves of twenty millions annually , —aad with a * much justice as the compensation wan voted to the West ladian trafficers in human flesh . They might vote a Rnral Polica to keep down disaffeetioo—planting a bayonet at the door of erery factory , and in every field ' in England . They mi ^ 'ht do a hundred other things to neutralize tbe benefit to the people at large from a repeal of the Corn Laws . Oh ! the arixtooracy is a hydraheaded monster , crafty as powerful . We have never seen any plan for efficiently graphing with it , except by a political constitution framed after the fashion of tbe People ' s Charter Kent Herald .

FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., TO DANIEL O'CONNELL , ESQ ., M . P .
, LETTER y . ( Concluded from our last . ) ¦ I now come to the summing np of my evidence In the farst place , I have divided yonr life into two periods , namely , the period of your struggle for Emancipation , when honesty was the only uolicv arnd that period , since the ppssing of the Reform Bill , when you had gained your reward of yonr Emancipation struggle : at one ' period you were looking for power—at the other period you were in possession or power , Forfonr sessions of Parliament have you been in possession of more political power than any man in the empire ; and , now , I ask you to place your finger npon any one O'Connell wtatnto tor the benefit of Ireland , or any other Dortion of
the empire , and then let me argue fairly . Without any political power , yon were able , by the assistance of the non-electors , of the people , iu fact , to carry a greater measure than Reform itself— I mean Emancipation ; but mind , that was the foundation of your power , and you were fighting for yourself ; whiie , with all yonr political power , you have not accomplished one single benefit for Ireland . Will you then tfli me , and tell the country , that yon could not ? If so , you are of no use—if yon could , and- did not , you are worse than useless . What , then , has been yonr policy ? i To create change after change in order to attach the public mind to the magnitude ot your power ; uo matter whether those changes were irom bad to wowe—yon were the organ . In Irelnnd , how has any charge against yoa been met *
By denouncing your accuser without hearing the case . How will my charges be met ? By lifting up yonr eyes , and appealing to the people for whose rehgionB freedom you have been struggling from your infancy—and , without knowing more of the case , tbe judgment will be " that Feargus has turned against O'Connelt . " Yes , you well know ( hat you have sufficient power in Ireland to crush any man who confines bis- sphere of action to that uunappy land ; and , although , I should have met you there , and in person have defended myself , yet yonr great and mighty charge against me is , the regard iri which the working people of England hold me , * and tbe people of England know that I have been fighting the battle of the Irish poor here .
l our object lias been to prevent me having a seat m Parliament , where my political station wonld give effect to the wholesome truths which I should tell the country j but I know , tnat I would rather return to my plough than . hold power at your bidding , and use it at your command . Let- any disinterested man read over' the catalogue with which I h « ve famished him , and attach other meaning than I have toyour purposes . My reason for abandoning your policy was , because , by yonr own confession , it was based npon cnuaing ; rendering temporary support to the a 4 nunUtrjatiou , and watching the moment of their supposed stability to show yonr own power by u kickW them
outwhen they haddone-yonr dirty work •¦; " and " yet tfei * was the tribunal from whence "Justice to Ireland was tp emanate ! " Can Justice be based on fraud ?~ No ; and as ray firm conviction is , that yon looked not for justice but for power , I opposed you—and opposed that Government whose every act , nrider your direction , was furnishing you with strong arguments for condemnation ; when the moment should arrive tbat a split became profitable . 1 knew that the breaking up , vea of the ' fostering Government , " and tue consequent English denunciation , wonld have furnished yon with another season ' s martyrdom , from which an abundant Irish harvest might be reaped . Look to the clo » e of the session—your acquiescence n every Government measure—and then your denun-

" - , Good God ] can , map , rational man , reflect npon the fanciful and whimsical imanner in which you hive successfully treated , the poor Irish without exclaiming ¦ "ATas ' I poof country ; ; Almost afraid to know . itself . " It is astonishing how liberally men can deceive themselves , and many of the Irisu member ^ , from whom you derive support , have endeavoured to look lightly upon your worst acts , in compliance with th * old and successful appeal , " OA , Itt Dan alone : he has
his own way nf doing things ; he is right . " I never fell into this system of pinning my faith to any man ' s sleeve ,, or of prostituting my intellect to the caprice of others . Oh ! had I been satisfied to conform to your political discipline , what a field was open for me ! Where would Clonmel have found such a representative , if I would but have made the surrender of principle the ground of my pretensions . ; You have , by a most extraordinary process , maintained yonr ; power in Ireland ; and you have done it by keeping the people in a stale of degradation . Why did I look lor Poor Laws ? To destroy yeur power , —Why do you oppose the measure ? - Because it would de-troy your trade in . Ireland . —Why do I look for the extension of the franchise ? Because it w « uld
so liberalize the House of Commons , as to make any force that you could command of no effect . * I have set before the world your deeds of commission , but a man possessing , your political power is chargeable with nets of omission . Have you endeavoured to abolieh flogging in the army this session ? Yes , by instalments . Have you—alter ypurparade abont the starvation of your factory babes- ^ said a word about your cheap food , which was one of your stepping stones to English popularity ? Where has slept your code of cheap lawrt lor Ireland ? But , why do I talk ? Why do 1 condescend thus to enter into details with one who has committed wholesale treachery ? Do younot see the standard of liberty flying even in Spain and Portugal , whose , best
strength has been wasted between factious cen tendon for party power ? Do yon not find that vengeance will burst through all the protection with which tyraiwycan invest it—rand through the silent earth does not the spirit ' of Alibaud speak a nation ' s love of freedom ? Can Nicholas , with his millions of Russians , and his wilderness of prisons , silence Poland ' s cry for justice ? No , and do you suppose , in yonr fanciful imagination , that yon can arrest the progress of freedom in Ireland ? Do toh suppose , that , while all other sciences are rapidly hurrying on to the goal of perfection , that the science ol legislation is alone to stand still ? Or do yon suppose that the perfection of legislation consists in the concentration of its power ? In what are you
prolound ? Ignorant of th » machinery by which trade , commerce and manufacture * are governed , you shelter yourself in the iufixplorable labyrinth of the dogmas of the political economists , Accuiitomea to the indiscriminate support of right and wrong , you seek to govern by the justification ! of present errow for the working of future good . Ireland is an Hpricultural country : you are whollv ifjforant of the science , and , lacking kiio wledge of the loil ] yon cultivate the prejudices of the workers . , Yuusetyourseli up as a standard of excellence , presuming to doubt and revile all those wlio despise your policy and oppose your' -wiri ;'"** ¦ .. - . ; - ¦ . *» - ' :. : Arouse-, ! r man ! yon ^ sleep ' , —we are in the nineteenth century ; in the Jflfth year of a Reformed era ~ in the

I gave my poor effort * gratuitously and thus placed in mournful contrast , honest unpaid exertion , with truckling and liired subserviency .
Now , thrpw yourself into the arms of tho * e who , with the we bit of Editorial importance , will defend you as apolitical Proteus , whose change of character is absolutely necessary in order to meet the times we live in . Let them , from the highest to the lowest , defend even your worst act as one of necessary expediency ; and I will justif y myself against the whole phalanx .

And was I a failnre in tnat

Ask Baron Penefeather , Chief Justice Dohertj , Baron Foster , Judge Moore , and others * who have more tbun once borne testimony to the manner in which I have discharged mv dutr—and yet I mourned not st its loss , if my time could be applied to the service of my country ~ I havo v joined the English Radical * , " you say I have ; but thatw not my greatest fault m your eyes—vour charges . . against public men are never for the acts tor whiph , jqu dread them ; they are always of som * Irivelous natnre ; but yon suppose that your impertinent and unsupported denunciation is sufticieut
Yoorkttack upon me reminds me of a story of Baron Penefeather ' s—I'll tellit to you . " AfarmerV boy once received a half-a-crown from his masterto amuse himself , he went with his mother to a fair ' h » lost one and sixpence at a gambling table , and received from the proprietor a bad shilling al his change of the half-crown ,-it was refused at-a tent and stopped lus fun ^ -he left the fair with his mother ! : on the way home , they unfortunately came in contact with a faction fight , and a stray stone killed the poor woman . The boy swore again *! the mau who gave him the bad shilling , and he was arrested and put upon _ trial . The man had no counsel—( luck ) l y for hirn ) -the wituess , as we say , never broke down , till Baron Penefeather took him in tjand , and , after a little cross-examination , the Baron asked the witness , ' Well , now , have von any doubt upon your mind that the prisoner is the man who killed your mother ? , 'Oh , ' replied the witness , pon my oath I can ' t exactly swear to that u j 1 & ? me ^ iif tbe man-that gave- me the bad shilling any how . ' Now , the moral is that you can / t exactly say that I am a Reformer ; hut you 11 give your oath , that I did not take a shilling " any how . So , m order to form a contrast , yon will send paid agents to register the electors of the county of Cork .
r What must the people of England , and the Libernl party in Ireland , think , when they see a regular Parliamentary list , like an army list , arranging tbe tiling up and changing of commissions —• such as— " We understand that Mr . Grattau goes to Dublin , to make way for Sir W . Somerville in the county of Me * th . " Does Meath owe Mr . Grattan no debt of gratitude ? . Now , I ask you coolly and calmly , whether or no you call this freedom of election , or a fair expression of public opinion ? and , I ask yon , if you huddos * thnt a nnHnn
can be hoodwinked by this descri ption of delusion ? Every act of your entire political life has been one scene of truckling , shuffling , duping , begging , praying , bullying , and changing—a complete struggle for individual power , no matter how accomplished : the most' trifling incident have you invariably grasped at in order to shew your Parliamentary influence , iio matter whether public or private , general or individual 5 witness yonr conduct upon Governor Darling ' s * committee , and upon the oppoaitiba of Irish Poor Iiaws , —pawer gained or evinced by every eveu the most trifling , circumstance .
How , in the name of God ! withont patriotism , without honesty , without decency , withont consistency , thep , have yon possessed yourself of so much j ) pwer ? 4 'lttell you : by having at yonr hack a large starving population , giving you political power * as the champion of their religious freedom , to which freedom you have been the greatest enemy that Ireland ever produced . If the world should censure this attack , upwto , npon the principle that R ^ formers should be united , I tell the world that you are ' no Rerormer .

You have abnndoned the people for the support of the middle classes ; but , it ( he middle classes join With y _ ou in giving the Whigs support , in order to db their djr ^ yr ' wprk , let themnaye y » u ; bpt the peopl « will have nothing more Jo do with you . Let yonr friend * , the formerly " base , brutal , and bloody Whige , " bo * glory in doing your dirty work , and prepare for the commencement of the next Session , when your first object ' will lie to feel the puls «< 6 fth « House , and then endeavonr to place yourself at th * head of . questio ^ is which popular opinion u ill have carried independently of yoo . You are too cunning to oppose what voh think , without your assistance , would be curried ; but I have no hentationin asserti
ing that you would smile , . without a . pang , over the miseries of Irishmen , if your power was snfncient to prevent the ' passing of a meashre for their relief , provided the continuance of your p « wer depended upon their , poverty ., JLet the people recollect that confusion , dismayjfnunger , poverty , and strife form the bams of your power , find then let theni aisk themselves whether or no men in general surrender power without a Rtruggler ' No , arid for fonr yenrs yon have been straggling' to increase your power by increasing ther woes and mystifying the policy of Ireland . God help the poor Whigs ! and God help poor Lord Mulgrave t when the diiy of settling comes—and come it will- ^ and tha . ^ when yon want a ' new . martyrdom to ensure Irish sympathy ; but mark , Sir , in these violent shocks , public liberty is retarded .
* our hostJlity to a government of whtch you have been tte scullion , will W the watchword for die establi . shroent jof new political coteries ; -andsoother , season will . be Wt in choosing the parties for the play , as school bovs do at school—and the people , during the farce ; will look on with as much niterest ai'if the result Would reduce one shilling of taxation . Won't you allow , that the manner in which personal questions and -rail-roads , and nonsense , nave occupied the House of , Commons is a disgrace tp the nation ? and yet this is the very thing upon which you fatten . The fact is , Sir , the English subscription astonished you by its « mallness- —you were , angry that the millions did not take it od : and in tbebitternesg of vour
• oul , you-attack me and the English Radicals , although , at the meeting- at Theobald ' s-rbnd , you declared yourself a Radical , but the Radicals told yeu that you were a , 'W . hig . I ayk the impartial , calm observer to analyze your act * for the four last sessions , and point ont the return for a nation ' s confidence and the people's support . Your power consists in the centuries of religious persecution , which ihe Irish Catholics have suffered , and , instead of sacrificing your vanity upon freedom ' s > ltar , you hold your station attheexpence of a nation ' s welfare—you would see the streets crumbling in . ruins , provided that your spark of authority gave brilliancy to the wreck . When
aproies < sional pahtician possesses power , station , and wealth , Droduced by political strife and national degradation , how long will it be his interest that political strife and national degradation should continue ? Just as long as they are conducive to the politician ' s power , wealth and station . Will any man in his senses deny , that your power consists in the errors of government ? and is the re one individual , who has the manliness to think for himself and speak'for himself , who is not firmlv convinced that your object , for the last four years , has been to keep Irish grievances constantly before the public , while you have invariably opposed any amelioration of the condition of the Irish people ?
i If a man is a tyrant and has political power , he c ^ ube » to , w tayoursnpon his supporters ; and thereby he will acquire strength—ana this strength will silence the querulons and dissatisfied , and justify jovea his . tnost tyrannical acts mther than weaken his ppwer p £ . patrouagf—il the law is tyrannical all g ^»> d men will oppose tbe law , and , therefore , one tyrant 13 " moretoheiireaded than the most tyrannical enactment , which could not long survive its first ^ ppfesrfwr^—the « tate of society mu * t be bad , when anyone indi . vid . iial .. holdsan anomalous portion of T > hweri ; ifaiid man ^ teihg themere creatur e of cirrumstances , will endeavourto preserve his pre-eminence ,
even a , tih , e expenseof the well-peing of Uiecommuuity . When- ;' . laws are the dictation of a few , for the government , or Hither for the controul , of the many , they become proclamations rather than statute . * . If laws were made b y the majority lor the government of all , no law could be tyrannical , for it would be made by the voice of the natiop which should be the law of the land . Politically , all should be ujjou aa equality—and then all would have an equal interest in th « formation of laws for the gavemmfnt of society ; whereas the enfranchisement of the few , to make laws for the many creates an out-door opposition to in-door legislalation . ¦ -.. -
1 have now before me your last letter to your constituents , and I a * k any dispassionate reader to discover in it aught but apologies for the past , and an awful prediction tor the luture . Poor Laws-Poor Laws—Poor Laws for Ireland , your Omega * they haunt yon , they threaten you , thev alarm you and ultimately they will crush you . You say , that " one fact is wortu a thousand argnments ; ' then for a fact—you make the unpopularity of the hnghsh system an argument against any system of Poor Lawa for-Ireland , and the people listen to you but you forget that , both at White Conduit House ' nnd at Theobald ' s-road , you eulogised the present Poor Law Act ; but , you say , thatin the event of
, such a measure passing , you will endeavour to protect the . ratepayers ; yes , the ratepayers ,, the enlightened , ratepayers , while the poor , who pay your rates , may risn for themselves . You tell us that there are one hundred and twenty Radical members in tbe House of Commons , but I charge you with having rendered useless tho best efforts of our few iladical members . Harv « y , Crawford , Roebuck , Wakley , Thompson , Fielden , and oV « , have discovered your policy , and their exertions when opposc-d by your party , would but exhibit the Radical representative weakness , and therefore wo have been wholly and entirely , unrepresented , and solely by * your machinations ; If von '•«»» » LJT
