. REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA . HO . X . The following extracts shed considerable light upon the HIUrART TORCH OF BCSSIA . The Bnssian peasantry , -who , when disciplined , congtitate seme « -f Jhe best infantry in Europe—superior in steadiness to any , excepting the English , the Swedes , and the Swiss—are naturally a nrnst pacific race , and , of all trfhCTS , - « mwiM s « in least calciJatea for the career « £ arms . Timi d in their disposition , feeble in constitution , they can neither endure long marchee , nor resist the hardships of a campaign . In even a greater degree than the inhabitants of any other European countries , arcustomta to a . watery food , of which they require preat qnantlties , the ? soon fall Tictimc to famine , and diseases and epidemics rapidly thin their nnmbers when exposed
to scarcity ani fatigue . How different in reality from the picture we have been accustomed to contemplate—of t-old sand endorina barbarians , whose iron frames set at 3 efiatiee all privations and fatigue ! In what , therefore , consists their superiority * Only in this , that they obey ; —that B . Tvitnde has taught obedience without a murmur . A Ttussian regiment , if destined for a long march , cannot jro more than twen ^ -five wersts , or sixteen and twothirds English miles per day . inarching two dajs and rwtinffthe third- If this distance be augmented , itlearrs many men upon the roadl "With sour black breadbiscuit forhis foodj and upwards of eighty poandsEnglish , in ann « , cartridges , and equipments to weigh down a frame which has no stamina to support it , it is not surprising that seventy-fire miles in six days should be the limit which the soldier cannot pass with impunity . Bat , nevertheless , if he should be ordered to perform ten times that distance , he would at least try it , and without
repining . Vf e -ftnd , in -the annals of Russian campaigns , accounts of long and painful marches performed by Muscovite troops . We find them submitting , indeed , to every hardship without complaint ; but , marVrae their track a 3 they "nrenthv the clesAbodies of those who succumbed to fatijrne and to disease . In two campaigns in the last Turkish rar , the Russian army lost at least 350 . 000 men from sicku « ss and fatigue alone ; and although their European tactics and discipline rendered them everywhere , in a fair and open field , more than a match for the Turks—who appear not only to hare lost all their military skill , but SOt even to hare perpetuated in their armies , traditionally , the svstem of attack so peculiarly applicable to
the wild and desultory forces of which they are composed , which once rendered them so formidable , and of which Hontecucnli , inhis military memoir , has lef t us so spirited 3 description—yet , notwithstanding these advantages SO much was the strength « f the invaders reduced , tnat it is probable that a little more firmness , or a little farthf r prolongation even of a passive resistance , on the part of the Ottoman P » rte . would have led to results-most disastrous to the Kussian arms . When the Russian soldier , ¦ who is little fitted , physically , fur his profession , has at last enrrJTed the marches , the privations , and fhe inclemency of the seasons , and finds himstlf before the enemy , he Etands trembling and timid in the place that discipline allots to him in the ramies .
ninspired hy any military enthusiasm , or any patnotie feeling , or even by the spirit of narar . il pugnacity , which , for its owa sake , invests the very act of strife and contention with charms in the eyes of certain race * of men , the Sussian private will do his duty ; he will stand passively to "be cat to pieces , nr lie will advance -a * lie is directed - Ms arm may be unnerved , indeed , by his individual terrors , bat still lie Jxepg his $ aee ; flie man is there at his post , formrng part and parcel of a hmve and foraiidatte iciole—a whole which stands unawed by danger , or which itself advances threatening .
But If the Sussian infantry soldier does his duty—no matter fr < ra whit motive—this is seldom the case irilb Ms oficer , particularly in all the subaltern grades of the profession . Equally " devoid of patriotism , or of any passion for military glory , and naturally as little courageoas as his men . his very ambition does not lea-3 him to conqner his fears , nor any sense of honour , or any public opinion , to conceal them . He knows well , from the state of things which prevails in the armies , as ev < ry where else , notwithstanding the efforts of the emperor to remedy the evil , that flagrant cowardice is just as likely as bravery * 3 secure ifae recompense intended for the latter . To this mast bo added , that everything in Ms earlv education , and the circumstances in which Tie afterwards finds lrimself placed , contribute as far as possible to damp aid suppress that slender portion of aninial courage with
Trhlcli nature has orijrinally endowed him - and Urns he too often offers to his soldiers a lamintibia spectacle of Ms cowarfice hi the field . These remarks apply chiefiy to die officers of the line : Jhongh , in some measure , they equally apply to those of the guards . The soldier , whe-Hier infantry or cavalry , of the guards or of the line , is taken almost invariably from the class of serfs though a 1 who ara not noble are liable to the conscription ; but the freeman and trader always exempt themselves by the payment of a tax , which fura . a branch of the revenue . Every proprietor of s ' aves is bound to furnish a yearly per centage on ihe number he possesses—a proportion which js according to the exigencies of the state , lie gtntraiy selects the most idle and worthless of his peasant *; Imt they " are seldom admitted if incapacitated by any phvsical infirmity for the service .
The Russian infantry consists of 72 regiments of the line , of Tbattalionieaclj , 12 regiments of the guards , ana 12 of the grenadier corps , and amount ., on paper , on the peace establishment , to C 24 . 000 men , inclusive of the infantry of the independent armies of Orenburg , of Siberia , the Caucasus , and Finland , and the g-irrison battalions , an account of which will be found in the general summing up flf tie forces of the empire . The number of bittalions to each regiment varies in the line , the guard--, and grenadier corps ; but each battalion numbers 1000 men . unless on the peace establi-hment of a reserve corps , or in depot , in which case it consists of 500 men .
It is naturally impossible to do more than guess at ¦ whatnnmber of soldiers are really embodied of those appearing on paper , since the emperor himself is in ignorance on this point , it being equally the interest of the comm wiling officers to reduce the list as loir as pos , able , and to cuncol this reduction . Still , as the frame--vork of all these corps is effective , whenever required f " " r ctivesarvice the gaps in their ranks would be speedily : llea up , and must be so at the responsibility of their « biefs . The total number of foot soldiers under arms - TObably exceeds in re . » I £ tj 450 , 000 men . Thsrepilar cavalry of the Russian empire consists of 4 regiments of the line , 12 of the guards , and 12 of the anadier corps ; one of Caucasian dragoons , and one model reciment , of nine squadrons of ICO men each , of
i hich tight take the field : it thus amounts , on paper , t «> upwards of 94 , 000 men who take the field , and to 3 J . GOO . inclusive of those in depot—in reality , i . M > bably . t . S 5 . 009 men . The irregular cavtlry amounts to about . 000 men , and is composed of the Cossacks of the 1 , theDdii , and Black Sea , the Kirguise , the Tartais , w Bashkirs , and other tubes . Of these about 80 . ar as well disciplined as the line . The Russian cavalry ©« -4 ie iine is decidedly inferior to its infantry—especially alstnat part of it which is purely Muscovite , or composed o . 'ie natives of Old Russia . These passive qualities ¦ k remler the Russian formidable as an infantry .- : ier d > not so advantageously apply to the horseman ; ia vhom an active and fierv valour is as n 2 C « ssary an
el' lent of excellence as obedience and discipline ,. The Bu ^ Lin peasant is also by h abi t no rider ; though horses everywhere abound in his country , he drives , but seldom mounts them . It is true that a portion of the Russian t j . Var eavelry is recruited from the Ukraine , and other population , Cossack , or of Cossack origin ; and so far it is gOO ? , f « r the Cossack is brave , warlike , hardy , and thoroughly accustomed to the horse , which he back * from his earliest childhood . But as ibis is only partially the case , on the whole the regular cavalry of the Russian army may be contilsred as a very inefficient force ; and eucu it unquestionably proved itself in almost every engagement of the late Polish war , when opposed to that Of the Pules .
Ereryyear camps are formed in different parts of the empire , that atKramoi Xelo . in the vicinity of 3 t . Petersburg , being always uceupied by the guards , who usually H . ~" -r about 70 / JUO men ; and very frequently armies are jUtctefl tos « tu « r to manoeuvre , more vast than any other power in the wor d can assemble ; t . urh as that of the camp of Kalisb , and of the review at Boroniuo , where 120 , 030 men and S 00 pieces of canaon were present in mimic figut . * In all their firmations we find the Russian infantry "both slonxr audlwser tltsmtlie British , aud probably a little inferior to what the Trench were , in 1 S 37 , in point of speed , but preserving tlitir order more closely . The cavalrv manoeuvres well , but is very easily tired . The field artilery is very rapid in its evolutions and its fire , hut its target practice is strikingly inaccurate , a disadvantage which , whenever confined to the use of round shot , must prove quite countervailing to tue speed w : th which the pieces are discharged ,

^^——__^^ * ¦ ' ~ ^ i— ^^^ m UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . SANTA ANNA AGAliFlN POWER .-IMPRI SONMENT OF GENERAL PAREDES . The steam ship Caledonia , Captain Lott , entered thes river thisafternoonafteran extraordinarypassage of 11 days 18 hours . v e The most important item of news bv the conveyances is the reported arrival of Santa Anna in Mexico Ins restoration again to power , and that ofParedes being deposed and imprisoned . Our advices from New Orleans state that by the ship Adelaide , Captain Adams from Havana , 9 ih instant , we learn that Irtnerals Santa Anna , Almonte , and Rejon , chartered the steamer Arab , an English tradin-r vessel , and proceeded to Vera Cruz on the evening of the 8 ih , for the purpose as General Santa Anna remarked , of " making peace between the United States and Mexico . " UNITED STATES AND MFTlfin
Information reached Boston just before the Caledonia left for England announcing the complete success of the revolution in favour of Santa Anna , the deposing of General Parades , and Ms imprisonment in the city of Mexico . The United States steamer Mississippi , arrived at Pensacola on the 19 th , bringing dates from Vera Cruz to the 13 th alt . Yera Crnz pronounced in favour of Sania Anna on the 1 st ., and the news of this Step reached the capital on the 3 rd , when the garrison there under General Morales , numbering some 1 . 200 men , immediately sided with the new _ movement , and the following "« lay a proclamation wasissued by the Genera' , to the effect that Santa Anna would ehortly arrive , and resume the reins of government . It w ? s not know at Vera Cmz that the new President had already started from Havana , and it was proposed to send for him .
This would , no doubt , be rendered unnecessary , as though no news of his having landed at Sisal had reached New York or Boston , it was certain that he would be there about the 15 th or lGth , having sailed from Havana on the Oth . It is reported that the revolutionists in Mexico had issued a proclamation , declaring the determination of the Republic , under their new chief , to carry on a vigorous war against the United States . The advices from Gen . Taylor and his troops continued favorable as regards health . The absence of msansoi transportation for the baggage continued to keepthemsomewhsitatastand-still . Fromallaccounts thi * department of the military operations appears to have been much illmanaged , for considerable contracts were being filled f-ir waseons , which , from the nature
of the raads thnmah which the army will have to progress will be of no service whatever , and considerable quantities of mules were being purchased in New Orleans , at three or four times the price at which they could be had in the immediate neighbourhood of the army . The main bodv of the army was at Carmargo , and as goon as they were in a capacity to move forward , the troops would advance to Monterey . The precise time of this movement was not known , but several weeks might elapse before it took place . A considerable difficulty in obtaining ¦ s upplies was also anticipated in case of the troops moving further up the country , as those obtainable at Carraargoforsolargeabodyef men , about 10 , 000 , wore none of the best . Severel skirmishes with the Camanclic Indians had taken place , but nothing worthv oi much note .
The town of Mier was occupied on the 31 st of July bvadetae ' imentof 93 men . The Mexicans offered no opposition , though the place is capable of being well defended . The population is said to be about 6 . 000 , probably over-rated . Colonel Kearney ' s force , which left St . Louis for ^ antji Fe , ha-i been heard from . They left Bcnt % Fort on the 1 st . alt . all in good health . From information received from the traders , and from some spies they captured , ho opposition was expected to their taking Santa Fe . In faet . a proclamation had been issued by the Mexican authorities , stating the exi 8 tence of tlie war nv » uM not interrupt the trade between Santa Fe and the United States .
OntheSth ult ., an attack was made by a portion of t ? ie American squadron upon Alvaredo , a port situated about 20 or 30 miles frsm Vera Cruz . It appears that several Tessels had taken shelter from the b ! oc 1 : ading force vncler the guns of the fort , and an attempt was made to cut them out . With this view , the steamers Princeton and Mississippi , and three sloops , ran in and opened their guns upon the bitteries . which , latter returned the fire without effect . The vessels were hauled in out of reach however , so the attack wa ? given up . The regiments mustered at New York for service in California , were on the point of departure . Three ships had been entered , and were to sail immediately . Two companies of Mounted Riflemen from Baltimore had been summoned for Mexico , but with this ex- eptlon , no more troops were under orders for tne seat of war . Those already there muster about twelve thousand .
An accident had ooenrred on board the steam ship Palmetto , which till lately run between New York and Charleston . While at the Philadelphia wharf some o ner steam pipes hurst , killing one man and serinu ? lv wounding several more . The Toronto Biard of Trade had passed ' resolutions for petitioning Her Majesty from some relief from the laws mjuiring 'he carrying trade of Canada produce to and from British possessions to be performed in British ships . The present regulations give a monopoly to British bottoms , highly injurious to the traders of Canada West , and they urge that some concession is necessary , because , while the rates of freight from Canada West , via Montreal and th » St . Lnwrence , are so much higher than by New York , as they are at present , the canals will be thrown out of use .

CnntERi is Persia , —Letters from Teheran of the 1 st of August , published by the Journal < ks Debate , ann-uiK-e the appearance of cholera in the capital of Persh . ' * In the beginning of the last year , " says the correspondent of the Debate , "the cholera , which had made considerable ravages at Lahore and Cabul , proceeded through Kouloum , Knnd < . z , and Bokhara ' to Kiva , to the east ot the Caspian Sea . There it stopped some time , and it was believed that it would die away in those high and thinly-inhabited regions , but . suddenly driven off by the winds , it retraced its steps , and showed itself " at Candahar . From this last city it reached Ilerat , and afterwards Mechhed , in the kingdom of Persia , and advanced to Meskinan , a small frontier town of Khorassan . ten days distant from Teheran . In the middle of June it broke out in i'ne of the suburbs of that capital , Between the 20 ih and 25 th the number of deaths was from six to ten , but on the 30 th of July from forty to fiftv ca ? es
oe UTed daily . A brother of the Shah , Karaman Mirza , a youns man of 2 C , and several high per--jona ^ es , fell victims in a few hours to the epidemy . Thfc Mussulman population , seized with terror , abandoned the city almost entirely , and retired into the mountains . The authorities were the first to set the example of the general flight , and the city was almost deserted , the shops closed , and commerce and business comp l etely interrupted . Tlie Shah was then at the Camu of ^ Niaveran . with the Court and the Ministers . But , on the 24 th . Dr . Cloquet having observed four cases of cholera , the King , followed by his entire Court , suddenly withdrew from the camp to the distance of six leagues in the mountains . On the following day , five persons of his suite having died , he retired from that new position to one of the highest summits of Mount El-Bours . At Candahar an < l Cabul the number of deaths , when it was at its height , exceeded 300 per day . "
- Ades attacked by tub Aiuns . — Let ' ers from Alexandria of the 30 ih ult-, have hrousht important news from Aden . When the Post-office packet , the Akbar , passed it , the town was surrounded by Arabs , who blockaded all the gates , and cut off all the supplies nf prorision . There had been a nighteHcounter in which the Arabs had seven men killed , and a irrcat many wounded . Several English who went on shore . " were massacred . When tlie packet took her departure a serious battle was expected .
The French Regicide , Joseph IIksiit . —On the 25 fch August , the first day of his trial before tlie Court of Peers , Joseph Henry sold his manufactory of finey steel articles , to his son Frederic , for the sum of 20 , 000 francs , to be paid by five equal yearly instalments , which by the deed of sale arc secured to h >» creditors in payment of their claims . Since his removal to the prison of La Koquette his mind has become more aud more calm , lie writes daily fithcr to his avocat or to persons who take an interest in his fate , lie receives his son Frederic in the
parloir , and jiives him instructions as to the management of his business . He expresses his deep regret for the illicit union in which he had been living , and « lej-lores the fever under the influence of which he coin-tutted the crime for which lie is condemned . On Friday nvirning , Joseph Henry was sent off from the prison of La Roquette to the hulks at Toulon , in execution of the sentence of the Court of l ' eera .

Resistance to Rents—Nesach — A demonstration again < t the payment of rents , under the passive resistance system , took place on Monday , on a neighbouring estate . This estate of Loghorna contains about 800 acres , and is at present under the Courts , and a receiver appointed over it . The cattle and emps were under seizure , and a sale was to have taken place on Monday . The place was surrounded by about a thousand men , who congregated together from all parts , in tens and twenys , leaving their farming work at a . stand still , in order to attend the sale , not for the purpose of buyin < r , but to prevent any one doing so . As a matter of course there was no purchaser , and at the end of their vigil , they marched off in regular order , firing shots . Amongst them could be reckoned from thirty to forty armed with double-barrel guns , blunderbusses , and mus * kets .
PROGRESS OF DISTRESS . —OPES AIR MEETING . Pursuant to notices posted on all the chapels in the barony of Kenry , county of Limerick , a copy of one of which appeared in the Times of Saturday , a meeting was held on Thursday , at Court hill , for the purpose of calling on the landlords to assemble and try by every means in their power to avert impending fam : ne . On arriving at Court-hill and Court-bridge , at one o ' clock , according to the Limerick Chronicle , tliere were assembled a multitude of 4 , 000 persons , including women and children . From Massy ' s-bridge , to Court bridge , ajstrong military force , comprising a troop of the 8 th Hussars , with Captains Todd , Grant , and Day ' s companies , 85 th under the command of Colonel Cox , Q , uartermaster-Gcneral , lined the road-side banks , being held in reserve for precaution , but did not approach the msctinff .
The Rev . T Folet , the parish priest at Stonehall , was voted to the chair , and told the multitude they had assembeld for the purpose of calling upon the resident and absentee landlords to aid in the em ' eavour about being made to mitigate the distress which now prevails to an alarming extent in that district . He knew they were well-disposed , and hail no idea of doing anything calculated to lead to a breach of the peace . Therefore it was almost unnecessary for him to exort them to return quietly and orderly to their homes , as soon as the meeting wnsover . ( Cheers ) A Voicb . — We have our hopes in a good Government , that they will give us work , and not allow ustostirve ; we are famishing at present for want of food .
Mr . T . Rose , Court , proposed the following resolution : — " That we , the farmers and labourers of the barony of Kenry , most respectfully call on the landlords of this barony immeidately to meet their respective tenantry , and to suggest means with them to alleviate impending famine , and to give to their tenantry the means of support for themselves and families . " After proposing this resolution , Mr . Hose said he would be most happy in co operating- wtli the landlords of tlie district , and he earnestly hoped they would acquiesce in the spirit of his resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Michael Fitzgerald , of Pallaskenry , seconded it .
Michael Potter , Spring-lodge , proposed the next resolution— "That we do respectfully call pn the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to order a baronial meeting for this our barony , to adopt means to carry out tise provisions of the 10 th Vic , to > i ve employment to a starving population , " Mr . Potter then said , he would not ask a penny frem any man who had potatoe ground from him " this year whose crop had failed —( cheers );—nor would he see a neighbour of his want while he had a pound in the world . Great cheerin ? . )
Mr . Jons 0 ' Reg ax , repeal warden , Pallaskenry . seconded the resolution . Mr . Johx Mahoxy , repeal warden , Castletown , proposed— " That the thanks of this meetine be given to the landlords , gentry , and farmers of this district , who came forward so liberally last year with subscriptions in aid of the distress , and particnlar | y to those gentlemen who giive employment to their tenantry . "
CLONMEL ELECTION . According to a Waterford paper , the lucky Mr Cecil Lawless was returned on Saturday in the room of the Right lion . David Figot , now Chief Baron of the Exchequer . Some discontent was expressed at the absence from the hustings of the new member , who is , it seems , amusing himself with the snort of cock-shooting in the Highlands of Scotland . Father Burk , however , who was appointed returning officer under the warrant of the "Liberator , " soon silenced the urnmblers , and the lion , young Whig has thus received the just " consideration" for his £ 5 contribution to tke consumptive exchequer of Conciliation-hall , The Hon . Cecil Lawless , who is now in Scotland , was on Saturday elected M . P . for Clonmel .
[ Can anything more forcibly illustrate the lamentable slavery of Ireland than such a miserable force as this election of a mere Whig in his absence at the command of the dictator of Burgh-quay ?] Fifty-six proclamations have been issued , commanding the holdiHg of extraordinary presentmentsessions in various counties in Ireland . The levy to be made under the proclamations must be expended in " public works . " The landlord must pay half tlie expence . [ The landlords remind us of Leigh Hunt ' s fishes . They can " scrpam , " and the how ) they have set up at the prospect of a practical application of the maxims that " property has its duties as well as its rights , " is such as only the landlords of Ireland could raise . ]
ASSEMBLAGES OF THE rEASANIRY . Dl'BLIX , SEIT . 14 . Tliere are further amounts of assemblages of the destitute peasantry in the * outh and west , seeking for employment as the means of saying thom from starvation . On all hands it is admitted that these meetincs , caused by dire necessity , are characterised invariably by order and tranquillity , and that the poor people exhibit an extent ot' patient endurance for which it would be difficult to find a parallel . The Ballinasloe Star , Conservative paper , gives the following report from that locality .
Etkecodrt . —Tins town , on last Wednesday , was the scene of one of those demonstrations of which in these times we are doomed to get many a sample . The labourers of this neighbourhood , to the number of about three hundred , gathered into tovtn about two o ' clock , and having proceeded in a peaceful and orderly manner to the castle , urged their claims on Mr . Byre , and explained to him the destitute condition in which they were left by the total failure of the putatoe crop , on which their sole dependence consisted . They represrntcd to him the utter impossibility of beinjj able to hold on even a weitk longer , unless relief was afforded with no niggard hand , and with the utmost respect they assured him that , however unwilling they should be to violate the private peace , and the rights of public property , they could not , would not starve while pkntjr was around then , and that it was
wor * e thati idle to expect they should . Mr . Eyre , with all the kindliness of feeling for which he is so much heloved by all classes , told them that their wants should v . ry sjieedilj be relieved through the | iati-rn : il vigilance of a considerate ( fovernment ; and that he , in conjunction with the other gentlemen of the neighbourhood , hnd just prayed his Excellency to call a baronial sessions for the immediate selection and commencement of public works . After returning Mr . Eyre heartfelt thanks for tlie attention and kindness he manifested towards them , and expressing a hope that they should not be obliged to proceed to unlawful extremities , the poor labourers' went their way rejoicing at the prospect of employment . Such of them as were in absolute want got momentary relief through tlie benevolence of Mrs . Eyre , who was gr- 'atly affected at the sight of so many human being ? on tho verge of starvation . "
The Cork Reporter of Saturday contains the following remarkable statement : — Cork , Sept . . —About two o ' clock yesterday a num . brr of labouring men , from a distance of over twenty miles from Cork , the neighbourhood of Iiallyfeard , came into the office of this paper , and presented a document , writteH evidently by one of their own bod y , and containing a painful narrative of the sufferings which the la . bouriug population in the barony of Kinmilca—which they stated themselves to represent as a deputationwere enduriug . They intimated a desire that it should lie advertised , as a public notice , and desired to know the cost of publishing it in that form . On reading over the document , we found it to express , besides relations of misery and dire want , declarations that they would not be quietly borne with any longer—in a word , it was a formal notice that if certain conditions were not com . ulied with , such as would procure food for the famishing labourers , their wives and children , within a certain
specified time , and for which they were willjig 10 give m return their labour , that forcible means irould be had recourse to tn m ' ocureit . Such is the most miliguteil form in which we can at present express the substance of the notice . The parties connected with this journal to whom it was referred took occasion to point out to the people who brought it , the dangerous nature of the course they took , and to repn-sentlioir much they illicit increase the misery they coinplssincil of , and bring aggravated suilerings on themselves and their families , l > y the slightest violation of the rights of property , or the least approach to insubordination or outrage . Their replies , certainly , to remove any suspicion that thty were disposed minecessarily to commit any act of an illegal nature ; but they pleaded this one—by us unanswerable—argument , " What are we to live upon—what will we give our children to eat ? We hive no potatoes , and we can get no work . " Such was the burden of their brief talc , and after having made several additional statements they were induced to return to their distant and comfortless

-,.. o . , . "Dear Sir , —I am favoured with your letter of the 10 th . and 1 have rend it with some surprise . You say that the matter I have referred to was concluded after lengthened debates . ' I am not aware that it was debated—I know it was decided ; and I only knew that from reading the proceedings in Conciliation Hall of last Monday , and the correspondence I saw in some of the papers between you smd some gentlemen of the ' Young Ireland' party , " 1 have been a member of the association , I believe ,
since its formation . I fondly hoped it would ever be the nurse of freedom , and of the freest discussion ; and I now see , with deep regret , that it has attempted to crush opponents who have not , as far as I can judge , exceeded the limits of fair controveray , or broken through any of the rules of the association . I am , therefore , reluctantly obliged to withdraw from a society , whose committee of management appear to me to hare acted in opposition to our principle of association , and in doing so to have acted unjustly ; and 1 beg now to tender my resignation of membership
in it . " I repeat , that I have no sympathy with the warlike feelings of the 'Young Ireland' party ; but I think their errors should be combated by argument in . and not by expulsion from , the body with which they were connected . " It seems to me , that the only liberty which is truly valuable has been deeply injured by such a proceeding , and I feel constrained to enter my humble protest against the course pursued . " Will you have the kindness to read this correspondence at the next meeting of the association . " I remain , my respected friend , " Yours sincerely , " James Haughto . n . " " To T . M . Ray , Es »"
This letter was the close of a correspondence with Mr . Ray . Mr . J . O'Connell then proceeded to pay miny compliments to Mr . Uaughton , and to defend the expulsion process adopted by the association . lie argued that it was a matter of sheer necessity to take this course , as , in their view of the law , it was not safe to maintain the doctrine of physical force , under any circumstances , in this hall . Out of respect to Mr . Uaughton , however , they -would insert his letter on the minutes , and lYireck their secretary to write an explanatory and conciliatory letter to him .
Mr . J . O'Connkll next read a short letter from Mr . Lloyd , of Beech Mount , County Limerick , desiring his name to be erased from the roll of members . Mr . Lloyd assigned no reason for taking this step , bat Mr . j . O'Connell supposed that it was in consequence of the treatment which they had exhibited towards the young Irelanders . Mr . J . O'Connell talked at great length on some matters of business , and concluded by stating that they had received certain resolutions from the Manchester Repealers , expres « ive of their dissent from the movement of the association touching young Ireland . lie would merely move that their letter and resolutions should be returned to them . ( Hear , hear . ) The rent at four o ' clock was announced to be 102 L 2 s . Id . The want of work and food are producing their natural results : the Evening Packet of Tuesday says : —
" On Friday last abnut two hundred men , armed with scythes , pitchforks , &c ., and fire-arms , went to a farm , held under the Court of Chancery , near Clonaslee , in the Queen ' s County , within a few miles of this town , and having driven off the keepers in charge of the crops , placed the grain [ crops on drays , carts , and cars , and carried all off , firing several shots by way of triumph , The keepers having made way to the Clonaslee police , the constable and three men hastened to the scene ; and , on coming up to the Cross of Killoughy , in this county , they found a large body of them drawn up there , who told the police to 1 ejme on , ' for that they were ready for them , and kept them diverted by talk and threats for a considerable time , to give the party with the corn time to escape , which they did by taking different directions . The grain was afterwards traced and recovered .
On Monday night tlie town of Dungarvon and the whole surrounding county was in a blaze with bonfires for many miles round . It is supposed that the object was to warn all persons wanting employment to come in here tc-morrow to attend a sessions to be held under the Lord Lieutenant ' s proclamation , when the mol » intend to compel the magistrates to grant all works applied for . It is rumoured that the labourers intend to insist on a shilling a day , and also intend to prohibit the sale of corn bv the farmers , who are compelled to keep the food for the people . The Clare Journal represents ( he want of food as becoming very urgent in that quarter , and calls upon the Government to take immediate steps to preserve the people from famine .
On Friday night , a car , laden with corn , wag stopped on the mad 'o Limerick , and the owners compelled to retrace their steps by a volley of stones , and tlie firing of sh ts . The horse drawing the car was wounded in the side . The object of this outrage was to prevent the sale of corn at market . Cheers were given with lusty voice at Ratl > keale and Newcastle , county Limerick , for the Young Ireland partv , in the immediate hearing of Mr . O'Connell , as he was passing through last week . [ Dan must either retrace his steps , or submit to the loss of his influence over the people of Ireland , who are apparently getting " too knowing" to be " caught by chalP' any longer . Apparently the " Auitator" is preparing for the latter event , by the manner in which he is pitchforking his dependents and relations into places . " Make hay while the sun shines" says we , for the reign of the Whigs must be a short one . ]

Leeds . —The cloth nmrfcets have been but thinly supplied with goods of a general description calculated for the winter tnide , and as the manufacturers are deliveriug these goods direct to the merchants , and there is but little doiiix for shipping , the markets at the Cloth Halls appear dull , whilst the fact is tliere is a fair average business doing in balk goods , and prices arc firm . Tliere lias been some little improvement in the demand for finished goods this week . More buyers have visited the market than for some time , but the . shipping houses are doing little . Manohestek . —We have had little , if any , change in our cloth innrkct since Tuesday , but , it' any , it lias been in favour of the mnnufiicturci's , who wave vovy stiff in asking a small advance . Had they submitted to last weuk'B rates , » very large business would have taken place . Both dyers and printers are well employed . The home trade is a ' littlc improved since our last . Yarns are without change , and a large business is doinic .
BiiADKOttD . —The demand for combing wool is steady , and prices firm . For clothing wool there is n very ready sale , and higher prices are realised . The yarn trade continues brisk : prices arc stationary , but the spinners refuse to take orders for future delivery , except at higher jjricw . We may say that all the spinning frames in Uridford , now available , are at work , In the piece market there was a good attendance of merchants . The sale of figures is declining ; for Coburgs and I ' aramattas there is less demand , hut for strong fabrics , suitable for the ensuing season , the di-maud is very good , and prices very steady . IIuddersfield . —There has beon n fair average market to-day in seasonable goods ; and new fabrics , especially those suited fur winter wear , sold readily . Prices renmin firm . Tliere is also a good demand for tlie better description of broad cloths . Tlie trade in the warehouses ( luring the week has been rather brisk in some of the homo hou-es , and many engaged in the shipping triids are very busy .
JLw . ik . ix . —Tlie piece trndo hero does not improve , as wo usually uxjicut to find it sit this season of thu year . Thurii is u tolerable amount of business doing in soveriil departments of the yarn market , but prices are not generally any better . For combing wools the demand this week has been very slack , but wo hear of no alteration in value . There is more aiiiinn ( ion in clothing sorts , though the call is principally for low and middle qualities , which incline to lit u little dearer , and stocks arc very low . Kociidale Flannel Market . There has been some improvement in the flannel market today , aud rather more pieces have been sold than on the previous Monday . This time of the year should be , aud is , generally , the best for flannels , as the shops generally lay in their winter stocks . There is a great scarcity of that kiml of middling priced wool which is used for flannels , and tlie demand generally lor the raw material lias been limited .
Nottingham . —Yarns : The prices for yarns , of the numbers of which form the staple materials for the bobbin-net trade , arc decidedly firmer ; yet prices of goods , in thu rough state , do not advance at all in proportion . Tlie home demand for finished stock is quiet ; and we lenni that tlie export lms been more limited during- the half-year than formerly . Drawn * ami shirt trade : We are happy to say , that in tins branch of the manufsicturingindustry of this district , there is , generally speaking , great activity prevailing both here ami at Leicester , especially in tlie lamb ' s wool mid merino department . With those houses which are exclusively or principally engaged in the manufacture of cotton drawers and shirts , there is , necessarily , some slackness , tho result of the change of season . The Glove Trade is labouring under some depression , from a similar oiui to the cause last alluded to , •¦ affecting the "drawers" but still it is no worse , we believe , than jr is generally found to be at this season oi the year . White Cotton Hose have , at this time , a very slow movement in the murltct , influenced , uo doubt , to u

Workmen of all kinds are well employed . Material of all kinds continues firm . The production of fashioned or country hose has been much diminished in consequence of the harvest and ttiere is a reasonable prospect of a continued demand tor all som of useful Roods for the present . Glasgow . —The market for cotton goods still continues firm for general descriptions , and prices low . The accounts from the east are ( till discouraging , but symptoms of firmness are beginning to appear ; and it is expected that business there will be more animated when tho season is opened and business is fairly resumed . The cotton yarn market , during the past week has been very dull in . deed , but prices have not receded . Barrel flour is consi deraDly dearer , with every prospect of a further rise . Ashes are more in demand ; several hund . ed barrels have changed hands , and 23 s is now asked , tnrd is again greatly up . The scarcity of bacon is improving its price , and it will probably go higher still . Peas and corn are dearer .

On Monday evenins , after the performance of " Damon and Pythias , " which , as a spectacle , has met with eminent success , and of the "Scenes in the Circle , " full of their ordinary attraction , an entirely new necromantic ballet , entitled " The Vinedresser ' s Daughter , or the Sprite of the Enchanted Vineyard , " was produced at tbis theatre , arranged by Mr . Rochez . It was full of those incidents peculiar to enchanted ballets . Jeanette , ( Miss Waite , ) daughter of Old Phillippio , the vinedresser , ( Mr . Johnson , ) is beloved by Antonio , an assistant vinedresser , ( Air . W . Harvey . ) She reciprocates the attachment , but is crossed in her inclination by her cautious and caJculatinf : sire , who ranking with hard-hearted fathers prefers Timothy Tirokins , a cockney adventurer . ( Mr . Henry , ) whom he accepts as her future husba d . Poor Timkins . in pushing his suit , meets
with many rebuffs and discouragements from Jeanette , yetj aided by her father , determines to follow out his resolve , and not to relax in his suit until lie gains the hand of Jesinetto . But in love affairs , when fortune frowns , how fickle are resolves . The Fairy of tlieTineynrd , ( MissT .

The Sprite by his necromantic power , produces the most amusinf ; incidents andsituatians , aud mystifies everything and everybody but the lovers of his choice , whom he determines to see wedded . Matters thus go on in a light and agreeable manner until the wished-for union is at length accomplished , very much to the annoyance of Mr . Timkm « , the cockney adventurer . A griind " Pas de Deux , " by Mr . W . llarvey and Miss L . Waite , formed a pleasing feature in the piece , which as a tripping production , went off smoothly , and was generally well received .

Last Days of Robert Burns . —A valued friend and correspondent of the Star for Dumfries , is , « ve are sorry to hear , in a bad state of health . He has been for some time past at Brow , by Annan , and writes as follows : — " This is the place to which Burns was sent in his last illness , The cottage in which he lived is still standing , although not likely to do so long . The hawthorn under which he used to sit is still alive but decaying , and the once neat turf suat beside it is sadly dilapidated . The parish schoolmaster showed me tlie other < lay the ends of the ' box bed' in which the bard slept and suffered when at Brow ; they form at present tlie ivalls of his cow-shed— ' to what base uses may we come to at last ! " The school-master , however , purposes tore , store these remnants—consecrated by genius—to their original oflice . "

MANSION HOUSE . A Friend . —On Saturday John Robert Robinson was charged with having robbed Samuel Cootes , late of the Royal Artillery , of 20 s . and a shirt and pair of stockings . The complainant stated that he had purchased his discharge from the Artillery , after 08 days' service , He had had quit . ' enough of the military lire , which was not at all to IiN tnste , and the prisoner , who came from Woolwich at the same time , aeeompauieJ him , and they both took a lodging at the Lnntb public-house in Limestreet , irhere they occupied a bed . Upon rising the witntss missed 20 * ,, his discharge from the regiment , and a shirt and pair of stockings , which he Iiadjn a bundle , and he stopped the prisoner , who was Hicnkiug down stairs at half-past four o ' clock in the morning . The alarm
having been givin , the landlord rose and toek witness and the prisoner , who ivere squabbling on thestairs , into a private room . —The landlord of the Lamb said the pi-Uontr counted down thu money iu his presence , and was very desirous to gvi away . " But , " said the witness , who was » curiosity in his way , " that would not do , for I didn ' t like to have a person robbed in my house , so I sent for an officer that poked him off to the stationhouse- "— The Lord Mayor : Oh , you keep the lauib , do y 0 U « Tlie landlord : My Lovd , the Lamb Keeps me , aud it would be ungrateful in me not to Keep up the character of the Lamb for honesty and fair dealing , so I faid , II I'd soon settle it , " when I fouud what the bustle was about . When the man was taken to the statioi-hause we found that he had the shirt and stockiugs * of the soldier upon him , although he hud ken a soldier himself . — The Lord Mayor : Did you find tlie complainant's
discharge upon him?—The landlord ; Certainly , aud we found bis own discharge too from the same regiment , but they were testimonials of a very different description The complainant's discharge stated tint he had purchased it , and thu prisoner ' s that be had lately enlisted , but by accident it was found that his back was marked by the thongs of a cat , and he could , therefore , be kept no longer , but was paid up all dues , and sent away . The Hoval Artillery seem , please your Lordship , to have a pretty fair notion of ( logging , when they refuse to let a man a-. nong them uho has beon so disgraced . I hope her Majest-j ' s other regiments will act upon some feeling of the kind , for it is quite plain that they don ' t tear each other ' s bodies to piccas in that corps . —His Lordsliip was inclined to send the case to the sessions , but upon the intercession of the landlord and the complainant , inllicted the summary punishment of two months' imprisonment in ilridcwell , with hard labour .
WORSHIP STREET . On Saturday , Daniel Hock'ey and John Green were placed at the bar before iMr . Brooghton , charged with the following brutal assault upon an elderly woman named Newton , the wife of a butcher in Albany-street , Homurton : —The complainant ( wlio was in such an extreme state of sutVcring and debility that she could scarcely articulate , was obliged to be supported into the court , iind was curried out fainting- at the close of licr teilimdiiy ) stated that a child of tl-. e prisoner Green having
tukun away a dog-cluuu belonging to her children , she went to his bouse on tbes morning of Saturday week to ask for its restoration , but had no sooner made tho roijnust titan the prisoner called her an infamous appellation , and , grasping her by both arms with such force that bis nails penetrated the llcsb , dashed her head against the wall . On recovering from this blow the prisoner Hung her haavily upon the ground , and kicked her about the body , until her screams attracted tlie attention of a woman , who came to her assistance , and helped her to rise : but before she could escape from his violence tlie

prisoner again knocked her down , and dealt her a ftro . cious kick in the abdomen , from which she was suffering intunse agony , when the other prisoner ( Iloekley ) came down from an upper room , and thrust her out into the street , where she instantly fell to the pavement in a state of insensibility , and wug unconscious of all that afterwards took place till she found herself under medical treatment w bed , to which she had been confined ever since the attack had been made upon her . Evidence was adduced which brought the charge home to the prisoners . Green defended himself on the ground that
ths wo-nan refused to leave hU house on being ordered to do so . Mr . Broughton , as Ihe evidence in a great measure exculpated Hockley from any apparent intention ot iujuring the complainant , expressed his willingness t * accept that prisoner ' s own recognizance for hia future appearance ¦ but said , with regard to Green , a& it wag obrious that the object of his violence was still In a very precarious condition , heshould commit him to prison on the charge of a felonious assault , and ordered him to be brought up again in the course of a week , to allow time for ascertaining the probable result of the injuries tho woman had sustained .
BOW STREET . On Saturday , a lad , named Curtis , employed as engine-st"ker by the proprietor of the National Baths , in Holborn , was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain , tho property of Mr . Hetley , of Soho . square , and another lad , named Styles , and a girl named Eliza Gould , was charged as accessories . The prosecutor went to the baths in August last , and placing his watch in his trousers' pocket , deposited them on the seat of a dressing . box adjoining the engine-house . It was supposed that the property had been extracted by the prisoner through an aperture in the wall of the enginehouse where he was at work . The ease showed great ingratitude on tho part of Curtis , who , having lost his father ( formerly an engineer at the baths ) , had been put on the establishment from charitable motives . They were all committed for trial .
THAMES . On Monday . Mr . Peter M llish , the vestry . clerk and clerk to the trustees of the pnrHh of St . Paul ' s Sliadwell , waited upon Mr . Broderip to ask his advice respecting a very great nuisance which existed in new Gravel-lane , adjoining the eastern ba 6 in or entrance of the London * dock , where a man named Lewis Cowan carried on tha business of a tallow-melter and bone-boiler , to whom large consignments of the carcases of oxen in a putrid ctate Jiad been made , to tlie annoyance and disgust of a crowded neighbourhood , Mr . Mellish said he was deputed by the parish authorities to call the attention of the
magistrate to the evil , and he was quite sure if it were continued , fever ami disease would be engendered . The health of the inhabitants had already suffered by the frequent arrivals of dead beasts in a dtemposed statej which were brought from Blnckwall , and boiled down for thafiu—a process that ought not to be carried on in such a densely-populated neighbourhood as Shadwell . It was known that large quantities of cattle died on their way from Ireland , Scotland , and the continent , arisingprincU pally from their being stowed so closely in the holds of ihu steamers which brought them over ; and thry were sold to the tallotv-melters and bone-boilore . The stench
arising from the decomposed remains of large animals brought into Shadnell was quite overpowering . Nothing more horrible could possibly be conceived and tlie in . habitants had made repeated eomplaints to the parish officers . The police e mstjbles themselves had informed him that they could scarcely remain on their beats irt the locality when the carcases were brought to Cowan ' s factwry , and during the process of melting ; and they were obliged Co apply handkerchiefs steeped in vinegar to tlieir noses . On Sunday morning the carcases of six or seven oxen , were brought from Bl » ckwall to Cowan ' s
factory . They were quite putrid , and some of the carcases had burst in tho vans which brought them to Shadwell . The effluvium was dreadful .. Nothing more nauseous and horrible could be conceived , and the carcases were melted down , tl e Commissioners of Cus'oms having very properly stationed an officer on duty on the premises to 6 ee that the beasts were cut up and boiled , anil used fer no other purpose . The inhabitants , who were driven from their homes by the stench , cnxoein a body to the beadle , Deverell , and complained of the nuU sauce . The exhibition of the dead animals in the vans was most disguitlnff .
Mr . Broderip advi-ed the " parochial authorities to indiet the parties , who carried on the nuisance , " at the next sessions ! He also took the opportunity ot severely animadverting upon a similar nuisance in Whitechapel , where a great number of beasts were dally killed in the numerous close sheds behind the butchers ' shambles in the High-street , which was covered at all times with blood and garbage . No one could pass along Whitecbapel High-street without bein < r disgusted , and such a nuisance ought not to be suffered in such a crowded district . The animal effluvia pro d uced miasmata . This country was c > rtainly behind / ranee in the march of practical improvement ; all beasts were slaughtered out of Puris , and cattle and sheep were not allowed to be driven through the streets of that capital . [ Alt large towi \ s are ut present cevtres of corruption , Imt the districts above alluded to are pre-eminently ^ pestilential , Lord John ' s " Sanatory llif . irm" cannot come too soon . ]
Jusepu Adt . AOiiN im TROUBLE . — On Tuesday , Mr . Uroduiip the presiding magistvnte , who committed Joseph Ady , of " Sumething-to-advantage" notoriety , for trial , on two charges of fraud a few weeks ago , called upon Inspector Scott , of the II division , and handed him a letter he had received from Ady , enclosing another , and requested him to adopt the necessary measures to prevent a breach of the peace , and not allow any one to molest the person who had uritt n tohim . Inspector Scott promised to comply with the magistrate's request , and gave immediate direction on the subject to the policeman who has charge of the beat in which Ady ' s dwelling ie situate . The letter threatening Ady with personal chastisement and another with the arch-impostor himself , . ire curiosities in their way , and their publication may prevent many persons from being imposed upon by
Ady ' s promise of advantage , Tlie letter from Ady addressed to the magistrate of the Thanes Police Office , near Arbour-square , was as follows . "— "Gentlemen , the enclosed threatening letter is just received by the post . I beg the favour of your directing some of your subordinates to protect me from the writers violence . I know not his name . Respectfully , Joseph Aiiy , 5 , York-street , Commercial-road , Sept . 14 , 1 S 46 . " Thu letter which has put Joseph Ady in so much alarm is no doubt from some one to whom he bad promised something to his advantage on payment of a Post Office order for 20 s ., and who feels indignant at the trick attempted to be practised upon him . The following is a copy of the letU-r , and from th > : fact of the writer having underscored many of the prominent passages , there is no doubt of 5 ii * being sincere in his threats .
" The writer of this has just received a letter from Mr . Ally , in which he states he will , on receipt of 20 s . give him some valuable information . Ho will be at Mr . Ady ' s office on the 23 rd , at twelve , without fail , and will then and tliere administer to him with a pood horsewhip something thathe will not easily forget . This is no idle threat , Mr . Ady has this time pitched on the wrong man ; one who knows him well , iiHd who knows him to be a swindling scoundrel , and if the rest of the world were to adopt the same plan as he means to do , would soon rid society of a pest that has too loiig existed . Such a barefaced attempt atswindling should no : go unpunished . The law mu ; fail , but a strong arm will not . Joseph Ally , when next you endeavour to extort money under false pretences , for which many a better man has been transported , take care that you do not write to one who knows you longer than you are aware , and who has or . ly long wished for tho opportunity of doing the public 8 . ) general a service . "
Jossph Ady did not forget to forward to the magistratft part of his stock in trade for defrauding people , " a list of next kin , " nearly lithographed , and falsely stated to have been " extracted from the Times of August 29 , 1 SJ « . " WESTMINSTER . Privilege of the Household Tboofs . — Oh Tuesday , Eliza BriggB , h decently attired female , was charged with bci' g a disorderly prostitute . Sergeant Adaws , 15 B , stated , that at about half-past ten on the previous night he saw the defendant and two other prostitutes in company with a drunken soldier , standing on ttie pavement in Totrfill-street , making a . great noise , and obstructing the thoroughfare . He desired them to move on , when the other two females went away , but
defendant refused , and said she should stand theiv as long as she pleased . Tlie soldier took the matter up , declaring that she should stand theve , and nobody should move lier , and he became very violent , and collected a mob of people . Witness took defendant into custody , but had groat difficutly in doing so , in consequence of the violence of the soldier . Mr . Burreil—Why did you uot take the drunken soldier ? Sergeant—We have no power to take a soldier into custody . "No power to take a soldier into custody V ejaculated Mr . Burreil with evident astonishment . Sergeant—Not for drunkenness . "Not for drunkenness ! " repeated Mr . Burrfill . Sergeant—No . Sir , its contrary to our instructions to take a drunken soldier if he belongs to the household troops . Mr . Burrcll—This is certainly new to me . They are subject to the civil l » ir as well as other persons . Sergeant—We
cannot take them , according to our orders , upou our Off a charge . We e .-iu only take them if a charge is made against them by some other person . Mr . Burreil repeated that such a course was quite new to him . As a matter of courtisy , soldiers had been occasionally given up to the military authorities for punishment ; but thuy were amendable to the civil law as well as othsr persons . The prisoner was discharged .
