ljj Feiesbs , —Irish diplomacy is said to consist of ,. Tord and a blow , " and but very short breathing - _ , allowed between them : at all events not suffi-¦ d time for thought . I never mean to deny that esses a good deal of that sanguine temperament ^ li ichniy conntajmen are remarkable . You must Lit , lioffever , that I hare not been very precipi-Lto , althoug h I have been enthusiastic and sanguine j *^ the Land question . I have been writing about find talking about ituntil at length I have forced
, gc a primary consideration upon every class in the I p ire . All proposals for great changes must ema-^ e fr om some one individual : and the greatest j jjpirc , ami themost bcneficialfor the working classes 0 $ countries , is that which will take their labour ^ jf th e artificial market , where its value depends ^ the whim of those who require it , and place it ip the natural market , where its value can be tested jc their own industry .
Sow , 1 fcn ° "& * ' boasting as you are , energetic „ jou are about moonshine , —enthusiastic about , ^¦ 5 , and proud as you are of the insignia and jjVkms of your trade , —yet you are dull as swine on jjjjaattersthatdonot promise a fascinating result p , the first Saturday night after yon have experijjoiialised upon them . Infect , you require to be pSden with " whip and spur , " even while you are . fanning for your own stakes . You will not be bought tobelievetbatone " not of your order" can f « l pride , pleasure , and honour inserving you . You look with unbecoming suspicion upon all who ever wntur c to offer a suggestion for your benefit . In $ e acceptance of advice you are high and aristo
tratic ; while in submission to tyranny you are rrcveUimt and mean . You are afraid of each other ; jwi are jealous of each other ; you are suspicious of taas other ; you hate each other ; you call yourselves ¦ kmoeratic , while you areas much governed by the old Tory system of ascendancy as the country was during he palmy daj 3 of borongh-mongering ascendancy . l ( m must be invited to serve yourselves : nay , indeed , $ « : « must serve you , before you can be brought to try to serve yourselves : and hence we see this saoinaly—the finest , the ablest , themost strapping , gni individually best educated people in the world , jart-rnedby a handful of puking , puny , half-be fuiicn , pale-faced cripples , because they are exited .
WJien I see the stunted son of an English aristocrat made up of high-heeled boots and a tall helmet , Ske a Jack-in-a-box , with a swordby his side , upon a poncing steed , while honest men are starving in takhouses ,. it makes the heart sick : and yet you , ad YOU ONLY , are to blame for the anomaly . Iovr disunion constitutes their strength . 'Tis true jsa they can unite over the one mess-trough . Tneir cause of union is in the compass of a nut-shell , jn the exchequer supplied by the proceeds of your
j& . ar . Are you not fine heroes to sing " Britons Kttr shaUbe Slaves ! " while y ou tolerate such a state sf tilings ? Well , "but you can't centralise your inducements to union , " says someone . Yes , but you on ; or at least I will point out the way . Yon have jefflthc Land plan propounded ufthe Northern Star . Ion liavc seen what may be accomplished by an ex-Mmfiture of £ 5000 upon the land . It is impossible sat that sum conld be lessened by one farthing , even 'jiiie experiment totally failed ; and yet you must fc driven , and driven hardly to its adoption .
Let me now sec if I can drive you .. If the Trades , a a body , or any one of them , will advance £ 5000 » try the experiment , four gentlemen , friends of suse , governed by confidence in me , will add £ 500 taeb , or £ 2000 to the capital : and the largest amount « f Merest now procurable for money will be guaranteed upon the £ 5000 before any is demanded for the 21 * 0 . That is—my friends will add the additional ¦ eturity of £ 2000 to your £ 5000 ; or , if you prefer siliag upon equal terms in the same boat , they will faanmtec to you no less than four per cent , for your Iif * X' with the further condition that vou shall share
dually and equitably in the general proceeds : that a , 5 < m may realise eight , ten , or twelve per cent , or we mere , while at the same time you locate your Ririus hands on the land : and should the experi-Bfn : eren / a 2 , you will be guaranteed four per cent , w jour £ 5000 , and ample securityforthe repayment a'ie capital whenever you think proper . Andfur'• ki , the whole financial arrangements , such as purast of land , expenditure for buildings , &c , can be 'stei in officers of your own appointment .
. \ w 1 think that this "blow" at the Trades of Eadand has not precipitately followed my first ; i * ords" on the subject : but I have determined that ik "Wow" shall be struck . This is one object * hidi I place before the Trades : bni to secure the so ? extensive development of the plan , it will be HKsaiT for them to devise some national plan of upElsation in ihe forthcoming Conference . So far , iei , 1 have attempted to "drive" you into the » se > yon of social happiness ; and now I present you » al an intellectual "spur .

unfortu-Hfcw , the great variety of tastes and diversity of iser-sts have Htaerto kept all in ihe dark .

Curioes Political Apostast . —We take the following from the Herald of Wednesday : — "The writers in the Paris papers of Monday appear to be much excited on account of the political desertion of tte famous Viscount de Cormenin from the ranks of the Republicans to those of the TJltramontano anti-University party , ft was M . de Cormenin , who , under the name of Timon , roused the ^ country against theprojeet of a dotation for the Due de Ne mours ; and now behold him enlisted under the banners of the church . His fierce invectives against the Lmversity have caused universal astonishment . The & 2 ? J ! 25 ! recollecting . the pamphlet against the dotation
, expose the tergiversation of Tunon . witha view to depopularisehim ; the anti-Jesuit papers denounce him as an apostate ; the legitimist and j ? arft > r « fe-e journals are in an ecstacy of delight ; the papera of all shades talk of Timon , and of nobody or nothing else for the moment . The Pope has found a champion in the extreme left , or Republican section of the Chamber of Deputies , and it is asked , is Timon mad ? Is he bought ? Is he corrupt ? Is he sincere ? Has he turned monk or Jesuit , er become religious in his old days ; or is he on « y out of humour , or does he want to astonish ? Is lie cheat , or charlatan , or devotee ? At all events limon has mystified a very ingenious public "
SPAIN . Iru-mph of PRiESTciuFr . -The Espcetador contains the following - : « We are assured that the concordat has arrived , and that it is on the Mowing bases :-l . All the emigrant bishops are to r eturn to Spain without being required to take the oath to the constitution . 2 . In each provincial capital there shall be two convents in which the monks shallreside without distinction of order . 3 . The Government shall provide the buildings for this purpose . 4 . The support of the monks shall be provided by a canonical tax of 15 per cent ., to which the nufchasers of
Church property shall be subjected , and it is only on this condition that they shall be relieved from the excomniunicationthatnowhangsoverthcm . 5 . The vacant dioceses shall be administered by ecclesiastical governors , to be named , not by the chapters , but the bishops of the nearest dioceses . We do not guarantee the news , bu * it is communicated to us as very positive . It is said that the Government is doing all in its power to prevent these conditions from transpiring , but it is so embarrassed at this unexpected news that it is probable the occult power will influence it and induce it to submit to the demands of the Pope . "
The Herald of Tuesday contained the following : — Our accounts from Madrid are to the 11 th instant . On that day the simultaneous arrival of two pieces of good news tended to fill the Court and Cabinet with joy . A dispatch from Rome announced thatthe long-looked-for concordat had been signed upon the 27 th ult . The concordat is based upon the solemn recognition of Isabella as legitimate Queen of Spain , as well as the recognition of the validity of the sales of the Church property . The second piece of intelligence was to the effect that a commercial treaty had been ratified by the Emperor of Morocco , which puts an end to all fear of hostilities with that country . The Chamber of Deputies had passed the budget of receipts as well as the project of loan for the improvement of public roads .
PORTUGAL . Lisbon , May 12 . —The patriarch of Lisbon , Cardinal Saraiva , died on the 7 th inst , at the advanced age of seventy-nine . His fimeral was attended by the Queen and Court , who were present atthe church of St . Vieentde Fora , in the vaults of which the body was deposited . On returning , the horses which drew the carriage containing the Queen ' s ladies and gentlemen in waiting , took fright and ran down a steep descent , before petting 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 Chamberlain , had his arm broken .
Ihe following curious occurrence took place last week : —A small steamer ( tie first ever attempted in Portugal ) having lately been made at Oporto , the engineer , Mr . Wylde , together with several of the English residents in that city , proceeded in her on an experimental trip , intending to go 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 « o so , they turned back and ran for Oporto , where they could not enter , in consequence of the high sea there was on the bar . They then put out to sea again and disappeared , to the great consternation of their friends on shore who had no tidings of them for three days after , and naturally gave them up for lost , which , indeed , they were within a hair ' s-breadth of being , as all her coals were consumed , and it was onlv by burning her paddle-boxes , bulkheads , and cabin furniture , that the luckless experimental steamer got into Figuera at last .
SWITZERLAND . TaE Caxton of Vacd . —The New Coxstitctiox . —The Great Council of the canton of Vaud met on the 12 th insi ., and commenced the debate on the new constitution . M . Druly took an active part in the discussion . The first clause was adopted , and is to the Mowing effect : — "The canton of Vaud is a democratic Republic , and one of the States of the Swiss confederation . The people is sovereign . ' ' The Zurich Gazette states that considerable hope exists that the life of Dr . Steiger will be spared .
According to the constitution of the superior tribunal , seven judges out of eleven , without including the President , mustagree to a capital sentence . Several petitionshave been presented in hisfavour . There was 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 19 th , and the first motion it would have to consider was a request from the Executive Council for an act of grace in favour of Dr . Steiger . At Berne , a coach belonging a man from Lucerne , was seized and burned , and in the canton of Argovia excesses of the same kind are described as of frequent occurrence .
PORTUGAL . Murders . —A Judge of Right , named Joao Lopes Calheiros de Monazes , has been shot dead at Villa Pouca de Aguiar , in the north ot 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 , tliat amorous , and not political intrigpe , has been the occasion of his 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 iu 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 Isfamoes Pressux Despotism . —A letter from Berlin says : — "M . Bauer , the political and theological writer , was arrested here op the 3 rd instant , and thrown into prison . The immediate motives for this incarceration are not known ; but , as M . Bauer had appealed against a judgment condemning him to three-and-a-half years' confinement for an offence against the laws relating to the press , it is believed that his appeal , having been rejected , he has been thus compelled to submit to the punishment imposed on him . Still , as this sudden enforcement of the 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 .

ITALY . The Bloody Despotism of the Pope . — More Mi 5 RDERs .-We take the Mowing from the Martina Herald of yesterday ( Friday ) :-Makseillbs ,-MaV 10 . —The following is a copy of a letter receivedMi morning from Italy : — " Florence , May 7 'J& greatest tranquillity reigns throughout Tuscany unfortwiately it is not the same in the-Papal staterf there the agitators continue to conspire / and it wffi require all the vigilance and energy of the government to prevent another insurrection .

The police is most active , and in many parts of the Pope ' s dominions a military commission holds permanent sittings . Within the last fortnight the following condemnations have been pronounced , and the unfortunate beings executed : two at Ravenna ., one at Faenza , two at Urbino , and two at Macerata . The people complain that the military commissioners observe no legal forms , and offer no seenrit to an innocent accused .
CIRCASSIA . Accounts from Odessa of the 18 th ult . state that the 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 Vie Correspondent of the Malta Herald . ) April 23 . —Persons in Europe , on reading , the journals published in Smyrna , will be led to think that Turkey is wonderfully improving , and that since the establishment of the new police , housebreaking &c , does not take place so frequently ; but they will be mistaken . They must not give bo much credit to these mercenary productions , inserted at the expense of the Sublime Porte , for the purpose of deceiving Europe . All the articles respecting the flourishing state ' of the country are false-housebreakin * takes place every week , and the country is in as law less a , state as can well be . A band of robbers , to the number of thirty or forty , attacked a -riuaiw . n . few
days since in the suburbs of Smyrna , Some four or frye ot the inhabitants were murdered in defending themselves ; the Aga was tied to a tree , and severely bastinadoed . After they ha-J plundered all they could , they left , andhave notsineebeenheardof . Inthe interior of Asia Minor , about a day ' s journey from Smyrna , the fanners arein a deplorable condition ; what their fieldsproduceis either swallowed up by the avidity of the government or the iron-hearted capitalist . The interest per annum is from 50 to 70 per cent ., so vou may imagine what is left for the poor husbandman . Ihe village of Guvendik has been the theatre of a horrible crime . Two Turkish houses were assailed b
y a strong baud of armed robbers : after phmdering them of all themoney 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 upwardsof 25 , 000 piastres , in silver and other articles . Ishniail , and another Turk who came to assisthim , were left dangerously wounded . A Greek was also found dead , but it is uncertain whether he was killed by the robbers or by the Turks themselves , 'lhere is a report from Beyrout that there has been a fight between the Druses and Maronites , ' and that several have been killed .
BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE . ( From the Uvtrpool Timtt , May 20 . ) Ey the Rio packet Penguin we have received accounts from Brazil to the 2 d of April . The following is the principal news which they bring : Mr . Ouseley , the new Minister of England to the Argentine Confederation , arrived at Rio on the 31 st of March , on board her Majesty's steamer Firebrand It . was expected that he would proceed immediately to Buenos Ayres . Before his arrival , most of the English vessels of war on the Rio station had sailed to the river Plate , where the united naval forces of England , under Admiral Inglefield , and of France , under Admiral Laine , were amply sufficient not ' only to show General Rosas that the intervention of those
countries was serious , but to prove it both to him and his Lieutenant , Onbe , in the most decisive manner , if they should persist in rejecting it . Brazil has a still larger force in the river , which will also act if it is necessary . Admiral Grenfel , who formerly commanded it , and has been removed for engaging in an ill-timed quarrel with the Monte Videan authorities , has arrived at Rio . It is now under the command of an officer who understands the wishes of his own government . The infant son of the Emperor , the heir apparent to the Brazilian throne , had been publicly baptised with great splendour . He received the following liberal allowance of Christian names : —Alfonso-Pedro-Clnistino-Leopoldo-Felippe-Eugenio-Miguel-Gabriel-Raphael-Gonzaga .
The War ej ihe Banda Oriental . —The following is a copy of a letter received from Monte Video , and brought by the Rio Packet the Penguin : — Monte Video , March 4 , 1815 . 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 , * or Rio Janeiro , to give you the extraordinary news that hat reached uc through the medium of a bulletin of the enemy . Some time ago we learnt by way of Rio Grande that Rivera was about the 28 th January on a river called the Taguari , with about 4000 men ; and General Servando Gomez , with all or the greater part of General Urquieza ' s cavalry in front of him , and an action was expected . All at once , on the J 3 tn of February , General Oribe published
a bulletin containing a report made to Urquieza by Colonel Dionicio Corenel , which he commences by referring to a former communication ofthe 8 thofthesame 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 the eighteenth , when he continued his march with the main body in direction of Haldonado , 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 Coronela 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 4000 fighting men , and a convoy of 200
carts , and families to the number of € 000 souls more , making in all a mass of 10 , 000 individuals . Now a body like this can only move at snail ' s pace , and cannot have evaded the enemy ' s vigilanceby 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 those of Gomez and Urquieza united . The general opinion is that Gomez was defeated on the 7 th , and that the accounts of the 12 th February , from Rio Grande , which first brought us this news , are fully confirmed by the inferences to which General Oribe's bulletin necessarily leads . From a person who was yesterday onboard Admiral Brown's vessel , I learn that the Admiral had received orders from Oribe to send two vessels of war to Jfalilonado , as Rivera was marching on
tliat place ; and it is supposed these vessels will bring away Don Ignaojo Oribe ' s division , now reduced to about 300 men . Rivera will be joined in Maldouado by Friere ' s division of about 10 . 000 men , and if before th ) 3 junction he carried all before him we may now soon expect to see him re-occupy the portion he held in June , 1842 , and that Urquieza and So ; vando will be driven in upon General Oribe's encampme . - , and in this case both British and Brazilian intcmnt . n will come to ¦ late . The denwraUsingefiect of RiveraV advance 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 relied upon , and will , I should tWnk , at length fully convince you of the correctness of my opinion , constantly expressed , that in the country Rivera would ultimately prove victorious .

SUPPOSED "MURDER AND ROBBERY AT HAMPSTEAJD . On Saturday morning , and throughout the entire aw , the town of Hampstead was thrown into a state ot intense excitement by a rumour , obtaining extensive circulation , that a gentleman had been found murdered in a ditch closely adjoining the spot where tne murder of the unfortunate Mr . Delarue was perpetrated by Thomas Henry Ilocker . On the reporter instituting mqiuries he ascertained that the grounds tor supposing a similar shocking occurrence had transpired in the vicinity of Hampstead were not altogether without foundation , aa the body of a most respectably attired man had been discovered under the Mowing singular , and , to say the least of them
, suspicious circumstances :-It appears that between three and four e ' clock on Saturday morning , police constable . George Morphett , 207 S , who was on dutv , was proceeding down the New North-road , and on arriving at the field adjoining the Haverstock-field , where De arue was murdered , and between the Swiss Cottage lavem 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 Wing face downwards in the SS" ° , « cx «? V ^ ! found tliat he was quiet dead , and that blw r , ad been issuing from the now ana mouth . Uis hands were full of mud , but there JSiS ^ ? PP . ea !" ,, toI « nny external marks of violence , except that the face appeared unusually swollpn
ine policeman gave an alarm and , with assistance Sd h ? v p ottage , the body was at once conyeyed to the Yorkshire Grey , and afterwards placed in the dead house whieh had been previously occupied by the body of the unfortunate Delarue , and where it was searched and minutely examined by Mr . Gon-er , surgeon , of Uampstead , who was called in . Ihe deceased is a man of most respectable appearance , apparently about forty years of age , about ; ve feet three inches m height , of stout build , having light hau' and small wliiskers rather tinged with grey , dressed ma brown Petersham wrapper with side-pockets , a black cloth waistcoat with figured silk . buttons , blue doeskin trousers , a black figured cashmere long-fronted stock , Mneher boots , with leather straps attached to the trousers , the right one being broken . His shirt is of lone cloth . \*™<«™ t . tPrf
, witn pale blue spots . All that was found on his person was sixpence in money , a papier mache snuffbox , and a pocket handkerchief . The only circumstance likely to lead to the deceased ' s identity is that he has the lnitals T . G ., in Indian ink , pricked into the skm of the back of his left hand ; From the general appearance of the deceased , it is the impression that he has been hocussed , and what renders the circumstances more suspicious is the fact that no hat was found near deceased , and although the police nave made a minute search in every direction they were unable to discover it . Information was forwarded to Mr . Wakley , the coroner , who has deemed the circumstances of the case sufficiently suspicious to order an immediate post mortem examination of the body .
, „ , ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS . lhroughout Sunday , as might have been anticipated , Irom the report obtaining extensive circulation that the body oi" another man had been found ( supposed to have been murdered ) in a ditch , at no great distance from the spot where the murder of the unfortunate Delarue was perpetrated , a vast number of persons visited Hampstead , and the Yorkshire Grey was inundated by those who were desirous of obtaining a sight of the body of the deceased man . Between three and four o ' clock in the afternoon a respectable man , who gave his name as John Drury , 15 , Boswell . conrt , Clement ' s-inn , accompanied by an almost frantic female , applied to Mr . Neal , the landlord of the Yorkshire Gvey , for permission to see the bodv .
as irom the description of the deceased in the newspapers , but more particularly on account of the initials T . G . beingmarked on the back of hislefthand , he was . convinced the body wasthatof 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 decesised ' s person as Mr . John Cunningham , tailor , of No . 24 , Iiolywell-street , Strand , and ' stated that he had been missed from home since Thursday morning last , and nothing had been heard of him until his description had been read in the papers . He has been in the habit of staying out very late in company and drinking freely , but he was never heard to threaten to destroy himself , and his being in the vicinity of Hampstead could not be accounted for , as he had no business that way . In accordance with the direction of
the coroner a post mortem examination was made of the body . The analysation of the contents of the stomach was being pursued on Sunday evening , but the result has not transpired . On examination of the brain and other parts of the body , it is stated that there was nothing found at all to account for death . Ihe 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 Finchleyroad , but if he is the same person , he had his hat on then .
THE INQUEST . On Tuesday forenoon , at ten o ' clock , Mr . Wakley , the coroner , and a jury , assembled at the Yorkshire Grey , Hampstead , toinvestigate the death of Thomas William Cunningham , aged 42 , a tailor , residing at 24 , ilolywell-street , Strand , who was found dead in a ditch m the Finchley-road , near the Swiss Cottage , on the morning of Saturday last , under circumstances of an exceedingly suspicions nature . William Cowderoy was first called . He said he was a coachman , and lived in James-street , Lissongrovc . 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 Tie was dead , but gave information to a policeman he met in the Avenue-road .
George Movphett , 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 WesUnd-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 quite dead , but did not appear to be cold . Sergeant Green came up , and witness went for a stretcher , and he was brought to that house . There was a little bruise on his forehead , but no other marks of violence . All that was found on him was 6 d ., a tobacco-stopper , a pair of kid gloves , and a silk handkerchief . No hat could be found . Witness could not say if the deceased had met with any violence , or how he came into the ditch .
Mr . Thomas William Parry deposed , that he was an Optician , and resided at 24 , Holywell-street , Strand . The deceased was a lodger of his . He last sa ^ M h im alive at six o ' clock on Thursday evening , when he went out to take some work home . He was then quite sober , and witness never saw him drunk in his life . He was a very reserved and rather eccentric man . The Coroner . —Do you believe he'has been subjected to any violence ? The Witness . — Why , these are circumstances which you have not heard , and which I think very suspicious . The deceased had a leather purse which he kept in a little side pocket , with money in it , and a pair of silver spectacles , when he went out . but
they were not on him when found . Mr . W . ^ Jordan , landlord of the Cock and Hoop , at West end , identified the snuff-box found on deceased , as one he had been asked to take a pinch of snuff by a manlike deceased , on Friday night last , who came to his bar ; he had no doubt deceased was the person . This was about eleven o ' clock . He came in with a man named Mitchell , a sergeant in the Middlesex militia , who said he had just picked deceased up , coming across from Kilburn . They had two pints of half-and-half , and stayed at . the bar about three quarters of an hour . The deceased paid tor what they had . Ho 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 the
way to the Strand , and I directed him down the Finchley-road . I can't say ifhe met the other man again . Sarah Cunningham , the wife of deceased , was next called . She said he left home on Thursday evening , about six o'clock , to take some work into the Strand , saying he would be' back directly ; He had a pair of silver spectaples , and a good deal of money with him at the'time'in ' a leather purse . Should say he had upwards of £ 1 with him . He had never been in a lunatic' asylum . 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 bas been done your husband' ? , ' Witness ;—I cari ' f Bay but I think he had some ' unfair dealings , hia ' ' spebtecles being gone , when 1 krw he had them with him when ne went out on TLaraday .

Farm LABOURERs . -Last week the abourers at Nether and Over Compton , Dorset were informed by ; their employers that their wages would henceforth be reduced from 7 s . to 6 s . a-welk The reduced wages were offered to the Nether' Compton men on Saturday night , but refused , and on Monday morning , as early as six o'clock , the men , who had arranged their plans , started off in a body to the residence of the landed proprietor , taking with them the Over Umpton meii ' . who ( their waees nnf .

been then curtailed ) had gone to work as usual The men , to the number of thirty or forty , passed through pfeovil , and aftersome arrangement made with them , f etumedtotheivwork : It appears that at an audit or two ago the landlord took off 10 per cent , from'his tenants ' rents , but at the List audit lie put on 5 per cent , on that amount . The fanners declared that they were unable to pay an advanced rent on these terms , and to continue the same wages as formerly dhe consequence was the reduction of the labourers ' wages as above stated . The tenants are willing to pay the men at the usual rate if the increase of 5 per ccnt . is taken off .

arising out of the defects of former associations ; theretc re , the obstacles that presented themselves at first si ; htappeared insurmountable ! ' In the late dispute between the Weavers in the employ of' Mr . Trimble and his overlooker , Mr . Fawsett ; the resistance offered to the tyrannical attempts of those gentlemen , although somewhafrexpensive , hasfully established youv ^ character for consistency and courage , and has been instrumental in increasing your numbers . We have organised the town , and commenced our labours in the county districts—Great ami Little Horton , Ledget Green , and Bowling Back-lane , are
now included in our divisional list . The general prospects of the society are encouraging . The number of members are above 800 , and the gross receipts from the commencement to the present are ± 12 , expenditure above £ 6 , the balance in the treasurer ' s hands £ 5 8 s . 2 Jd . In conclusion we thank you ftr the confidence reposed in us , and beg to impress on you the importance of your position , ami call on you tor increased -exertion , confident that perseverance will crown your struggle with a faiv day ' s waae for a fair day ' s work .

Robert Mullen , to the effect that the names of all the Woplcombers should be : obtained , and handed to the committee , wlio would print the names of those who had hot contributed to the funds of the Association , and call on them to do so . Such a placard would enable the collectors to call on those persons , and thus the Protective Society would increase in numbers . The Woolcombers in the employ of Mr . Rand were to
come out ; several had already delivered in their combs , and in a few days every" man in the firm would be on strike . Already had Mr . Rand offered an advance on two sorts of wool , but such an advance could not be accepted unless he extended it to all the sorts combed by his order . Mr . White exhorted the men to be firm . Symptoms of weakness had been exhibited by Rand , and he trusted that the men would be firm . Let every man in the Association turn canvasser , and bring up with him to the society all the combers in his neighbourhood who were not enrolled , and let those who were members advance as much money as lies in their power , and by these means a fund would be raised , and a union formed ,

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