MILITARY TALENTS OF NAPOLEON III.

The < Journal de 1' Empire' devotes no less thanfour of its columns to an elaborate article, in whichthe writer seeks to prove that Louis Napoleon isfully as great a warrior as he is an adininistfatonUnder the head of " Napoleon III., offisier d'artil-lerie," the ' Pays' enters into a detailed examinationof " Napoleon's military qualities, as shown by hisreal, though theoretical, improveiirents in gunneryand the uses of cannon and mortars in field service.The following is the introduction to this article :— '

" Few men," says the 'Pays/ " have succeded inleaving a name celebrated in several careers. Isthere to be found in history the name of a savantwho, having made scientific discoveries, has at thesame time been a great poet or a great painter ? Thatdouble celebrity is still more rare among sovereigns,The history of the most illustrious is in their acts,their constitution?, their laws. The great functionsof government have absorbed all their faculties. TheEmperor Napoleon III., is an exception. Thereis in the Prince to whom France hag confided herdestinies, in the first place, the Emperor to whomhistory will assign hia rank among the illustrioussovereigns; and then the officer of artillery, erudite,learned, and inventive, who has introduced into hisweapon improvements of the very highest importance,which' will make for him in that career an imperish-able name. Let us follow him in these latter hours.Prince Louis Napoleon Banaparte succeeded, in spiteof the difficulties of his position as an exile, in satis-fying his decided taste for the military career. At-tracted to the artillery, either because it was thecradle from which sprung the greatness of bis family,or because that branch is intimately connected withall the branches of the art of war, the young Prince,fortified with long study, went to the College ofThunn, to acquire from the lessons of an ancientofficer of the imperial army, whose name is at thepresent day celebrated and venerated—General Da-four—the precepts which penetrated profoundly intohis mind. Havingleft the College of Thunn, the youngofficer of artillery seized with ardor all occasions ofdevoting himstlf to the practice of his profession andof exercising himself in manoeuvre. Circumstancesdid not present the opportunity of incurring thecareer of danger ; but soon he elaborated and pub-lished a manual of artillery, which attracted the at-tention of competent men. This first work, strewnwith hardy and sage views, showed in its . youngauthor a man sufficiently instructed to compose aloneone of those works which in ordinary cases, requirethe co-operation of several officers. Adversity fre-quently abates courage, and captivity enervates or-dinary intelligence. The Prince, on the contrary,becomes greater under that trial. The chamber ofthe prisoner becomes the study of the savant. Heundertakes to write the history ef the artillery."

The writer then proceeds to give an account of themode in which the Prince prosecuted his studies, re-marking that, from his knowledge of languages, " nolibrary in Europe kept any secret from him," and theresult was " that great work to which he gave themodest title of ' Etudes sur le Passe et l'Avenir deI'Artillerie.' " The ' Pays' says that this work is soprofound that no one can now write a work on thehistory of the artillery "' without consulting a workwhich describes what was the system of armingtroops, of organising armies, the order of battles,and the art of fighting." But it is not to the pastalone that Louis Napoleon directed his attention ; healso un dertook " the more directly useful task ofthrowing light on the future uses of artillery, " andthe consequence is that he, has .arrived at valuableresults, which were put into' ' shape' aa soon as theevents of 1818 showed him that " the ideas whichhe had formed for the amelioration of the artillerymight conduce to the defence of the glory of France."The ' Pays' then gives a detailed account of LouisNapoleon 's ideas tin field artillery.

It appears that the " Committee of Artillery hasgiven an opinion in a recent report in favour of theadoption of the canon-abusier of Napoleon III. ;"and an order of the Minister of War directs theirimmprTiatn exprmtinn.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADEDURING THE PAST WEEK.

(From the Mark Lane Express of Monday night.)We hnve no new feature to notice in the corn trade.

At present there is no inclination to speculate on higherprices, and 'he desire to realise is much more generalthan the disposition to buy—a state of things whichvery frequently works its own cure, inasmuch as it leadsto un indifference as to keeping up stocks, puts a stop toforward purchases, and checks importations.

The existing dulnvss will certainly have the effect ofrendering foreign merchants unwilling to consign largelyto tbe British markets ; and though what was boughton English account during the winter months will comeforward, the importations are not likely to be so consi-derable as they would have been if the position of affairshere had been more encouraging.

With the exception of rather liberal supplies of flourfrom America, the supplies of breadstuff^ from abroadhave not been large thu week ; nor h:ivo the deliveriesfrom our own growers increased so much as might havebeen expected. The quanti ty of wheat brought forwardhas nevertheless proved amply sufficient to satisfy thedemand, and the tendency of prices has continued down-wards at the lending consuming towns, ns we'l as at thoprincipal markets in the agricultural districts ; Liver-pool, whore tlie depression was so great last week, hasbeen nearly the only exception. On Tuesday wheat washeld with more firmness than before, and on Friday,both wheat and flour were the turn dearer, notwithstand-ing large receipts of the latter articl j from the UnitedStlllM.

ATHLONE ELECTION.On the 14th Mr. Keogh entered Athlone amidst

flags, banners, and bands of music. The town is ina great state of commotion—" mint sauce" is flowingthrough the streets. The contest will be betweenKeogh and Norton , Ennis having resigned. The" Daily Express" says that this (Friday) is to be tneday of nomination, and Monday the day of polling.

HORRIBLE ROBBERY —DESECRATION OF THE D EAD.—On Friday night, some persons unknown effectednn entrance into the family vault of Sir John Power,Bart., in the churchyard of Kilfane. Having gbt in ,the heartless wretches laid hands on a leaden coffinwhich contained the remains of Mrs. Neville, a rela-tive of Sir John 's family, and proceeded to break itopen. This done, they scattered the remains of theludy about the vault, and then went away, taking theleaden coffin with them.—"Kilkenny Journal."

The " Kilkenny Journal" says that the Dublin"Telegraph" distributes its papers for nothingamongst the clergy of Ossory.

A letter of the 1 lth says " It appears that it was in consequence of a>warm altercation which took place at a Cabinet

Council between General Roncali, the Presidentof the Council, and M. Librtnte, the Ministerof Finance , that the majority of the minister*tendered their resignation. General Rorieaitreceived from the Queen, the mission to recon-stitute the Cabinet, but on the express condi-tion that he should on that very day present tothe Crown a list of his new colleagues. Thesteps hitherto taken by the general have led tono result. It is said tbat he has made some ad-vances towards M. Bravo Murillo, or that he hasat least had a very long conference with thatex-minister. The general opinion now appearsto be that General Roncali will not succeed ingetting six political men of any influence whowill consent to form a Cabinet with him, and.that he will very probably place his resignationin the hands of the Queen.

The Budget Explained

The Chancellor of the Exchequer spake forfive hours on Monday night , and the report ofhis <peech fills twelve columns of tiie Times.

Mr. Gladstone proposes to reduce the dutyon tea graduall y upon the plan of Mr. Disraeli ,from 29. 2£d. to Is., the minimum to be reachedin three years. This, with a reduction of thestamps on as-urances , from 2s, 6d. to Gd., inthe whole amounting to £29,000, is the onlyrelief offered that can be regarded as of generalapplication.

To England and the palm oil interest is con-ceded—and we are far from finding fault withthe concession—a remission of the obnoxiousand indefensible excise duty on sonp.

To the attorneys is to be given a re luction ofone-ihird of their annuil certificate tax , and asnn encouragement to aspirants for enrolmentin that body, the stamp duty upon articles ofapprenticeshi p is to be lowered frcm £120 to£80.

In favour of the public press of England, Mr.Gladstone goes two-thirds , and in the case ofthat of Ireland one-hal f of the way with Mr.Milner Gibson. He proposes to reduce the ad-vertisement duty in Eng land Is , and in Ire-land 6d.

To the Times to be given about £30.000 a-year, being the halfpenny stamps on supple-ments which the monopoly of advertisementsenjoyed by that j ournal obliges it to publish, itmay be said, alone among all the newspapersin the United Kingdom.

The hackney carriage and post-horse owners ,end keepers of servants, carriages, horses, anddogs, all ia England , a reduction of their bur-thens is to be conceded.

To foreign growers of apples, cheese, butt r,cocoa, nuts, eggs, oianges , lemons, and raisins ,relief is to be given by reduction of duties tothe amount of £262,000.

Ireland is to be gratified by the rebate of amost iniquitous overcharge imposed upon herby the strong hand, It is proposed to abandonthe demand of the Irish Consolidated Annuities,to the extent of four millions, said to have beenspent for the relief of the starving poor , butreally jobbe d in reckless extravagance by Eng-lish officials.

A change is to be made in the mode of col-lecting the stamp duties on receipts , but to whatclass or classes this is to be especially beneficialwe cannot say. Every receipt is to be chargedwith a penny duty, to be paid by affixing aQueen's head , as in the case of postage, and ,probably, with the same ultimate result of equalproductiveness to the revenue.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

On Monday in the House of Lords, the LORDCHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack shortlyafter five o'clock.

Several petitions were presented by noble lordsagainst the Maynooth grant.

MAYNOOTU GRANT.The Earl of W INCHESTER rose, in pursuance of

uotice, to move for a committee to inquire into thesystem of education pursued at the College of May-nooth, The establishment by a Papal bull of eccle-siastical titles in this country was only a new in-stance of the grasping disposition of the Church ofRome, and it behoved the people and government ofthis country to he on the alert that no harm shouldaccrue to our religious institutious. The canon lawwas opposed to the civil law of nearly every conn-try, and that was the law which the Church ofRome was endeavouring to introduce into this coun-try. To permit the introduction of such a lawwould be a virtual surrender of the government ofthis country into the hands of the Pope, and the go-vernment would fail in their duty to the people andthe Sovereign of this realm by counten ancing sucha proceedirg. It was the imperative duty of thegovernment to ascertain that the system of educa-tion pursued in a college supported at the public ex-pense should not be opposed to our Protestant in-stitutions,

The Earl of ABERDEEN moved, by the way ofamendment, that a royal commission be appointed toinquire into the system of education pursued at May-nooth College.

After considerable discussion the amendment wascarried by 110 against 53.

On Monday, in the House of Commons, tlicSpeaker took the chair a few minutes before fouro'clock, at which time there was a very large atten-dance of members.

The following among; other bills were read a se-cond time : Banbridge, Dublin , Newry, aud Bel-fast Junction Railway ; Limerick and Foynes Rail-way.

Sir G. GRHV reported that this commute s had de-termined that Mr. Arthur Mills, was not duly electedfor Taunton ; also that bribery prevailed at the lastelection,'.-but it was not proved with the knowledgeor consent of Mr. Mills.

Mr. HEADLAM reported that tliis committee hadcome to the resolution that Mr. Charles Gavan D uffywas duly elected for New Ross.

Mr. HENRY BERKELEY gave notice that, on the11th of May, he would a»k for leave to bring in hisusual bill for taking the vote of electors by ballot.

Mr. WILSOS, in answer to Mr. Divett, said thatthe officers of the Mint were using every endeavourto meet the demand for small silver, but the demandfor gold coin being so great, it was impossible forthem to issue more coin. The amount of moneyturned out weekly was £600,000, a much greateramount than had ever been issued before,

THE BUDOET.TI««, house then went into committee on ways and

" iV&'i"*

THE if^ N^^^MMrtPMSiP^consolidated annuities three - millions have beenwiped~away from last September. An additionalduty of Is. on Scotch whiskey and 8d. on Irishj andan allowance for leakage in tond. Advertisementduly reduced from Is. to 6d., and the duty on sup-plements repealed. The duty on attorneys' certi-ficates nnd clerksh ip stamps reduced one-third—onapprentices' stamps from £1 to 2s. Cd. Total re-ductions over two millions. Total additional tax,£1,344,000.

The Budget on the whole was well received.In the House of Lords, on Tuesday, the Earl of

WIC KI .OW gnve notice that should the Jewish disa-bilities bill be read a second time, he should movein committee that two oaths proposed by the govern-ment in 1819, be substituted for those prescrihed bythe bill.

MR. KIR WAN 'S CASE.

The Earl of ELRINGTOM then rose to move forcopies of the representations made to the Earl ofSt. Germans, which induced him to reinstate Mr.tKirv.an in the magistracy of Ireland. It appearedhat the original cause for the removal of Air. Kir-wan from the bench of magi trates wns his havingwritten a letter to certain Roman Cath olic priests,thanking tlicm for some valuable assistance whichthey had rendered during the election for the comityMayo (Ireland) last July. The noble earl said thatthe extraordinary nature of the case demanded anexplanation from the government as to the reasonswhich induced the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland loreinstate tins gentleman in his office.

The Earl of A IIERDEF.N, in reply, fully dis-claimed any intention of giving offence to LordEglinton , by reinstating Mr. Kirwan in his formercilice.

The Earl of EOLINTON withdrew his motion , andat eight o'clock their lordships adjourned.

On Tuesday evening, in the House of Commons,Mr. IIH.VII.TON reported that the committee had de-termined tliac Mr. Aglionby and Geueral Wynd-ham , the sitting members, were duly returned atthe last election for Cockennoutl!.

MINISTER S' MONEY IN IRELAND.

In reply to Mr. MAGUIRT :,Lord J. RCSSD M. said the government could not

at present give notice of the introduction of a billfor the abolition of Ministers ' Money in Ireland ,but they would do so at the earliest ojwortunity.

INCOME TAX.

The CHANCELLO R of the EXCHE QUER said the go-vernment did not intend to dra w any distinction be-tween the money advanced to Ireland for carryingout the poor-law and that advanced for relieving thedistress in Ireland during the famine. These twosums together amounted to about five-sj id-a-halfmillions, and represented the consolidated annuities.The government proposed to remit that debt entirel yif the house should consent to extend the incometax to the sister kingdom.

Mr. STAFFOR D de-feuded the conduct of the lateBoard of Admiralty.

Mr. D ISRAKL I gave his assent to the propositionfor the appointment ofn select committee.

The motion was then agreed to, and the house ad-jnu rned at one o'clock.

In the IIouso of Commons on Wednesday theSpeaker took the chair at 12 o'clock.

Mr. M'CANN presented a petition , signed by theMayor and 490 inhabitants of the ceunty of thetown of Droghcda , comprising the influential mer-chants and traders of the town , prayin g for an addi-tional member to represent its several important ma-nufacturing, commercial, and shipping interests inparliament.

RCrr.M, OF Dl-TIT.5 ON SOAP.

The CHANCEJ .LOB of the EXCHE QUER made someremarks with regard to an error in the custom resolu-tions he had laid on the table, and explained that ittvas his intention that the duty on the importation offoreign soap should ceasr altogether when the Exciseluty wns remitted at home.

MAYO ELECTION.

Lord H. VANE reported from the Mayo electioncommittee that G. II. Moore, Esq., and G.G.O.Higgins, Esq., were duly elected, and tint it ap-peared from the evidence given that there had beengreat abuse of the spiritual influence on the partof the great body of the Roman Catholic priesthoodat the last election.

JL'DGKS BXCLUSIOH BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill,and the clauses were agreed to.

Adjourned.

ORDINATION OF FOURTEEN CLERGY-MEN.

On Monday in Holy Week , the Right Rev. Dr.Newman, Bishop of Philadelphia, celebrated Pon-tifical Mass in St. Peter 's church, and ordained thefollowing six students of the Congregation of theMost Holy Redeemer, subdeacons, viz.—HenryGleson, Michael Muller, Louis Claessenz, MichaelGirard , Henry Hellcmans, and Joseph Wissel. Onthe following Wednesday the six foregoing sub-deacons were ordained deacons. On Holy Satur-day the six deacons were ordained priests ; and at[he same time Rev. Francis O'Connor, and Rev.Michael Filitn received the deaconate, Messrs. Ed-ward Murray, John M'Gorern , John Quinn , andPatrick Noolian the sub-deaconate, and Messrs.Walter Power and John M'Cusker tonsure and minororders.—[Catholic Standard.]HOW MEMBER S OF PAKLIAMENT ARE

QUALIFIED.The Tories of Ross went to the expense of peti-

tioning against Mr. Duffy because he had no landedproperty of his own—but a Dublin attorney, namedO'Hara , gave him £:}00 a year landed property (onpaper) but never pave him n penny of the rents—yetthe Parliamentary Committee decided that the qua-lification was sufficien t . And llie best of it was, Mr.O'Hara openl y admitted that the nominal qualifica-tion was given to qualify Mr. Duffy, and for thatalone. It is, therefore, easier to qualify for a Mem-ber of Parliament, than for a Poor Law Guardian. —For the latter a man must pay £20 a year rates. Butfor the former, he need have no house or lands atall—lie has only to get a person to fill up a deed—and to leave, if he like, that deed or transfer in thehands of him who who made it , till it may he de-manded for temporary inspection , when it can behanded back again. Well , after all this is fairer andhonestrr than the qualification arising from a no-minal landed property all but drowned in debt.

ROLLS COURT— SATU RDAY , Antrr. 10.The Bishop ofCashcl v. the Waterford and Limerick

Railway Company.Mr. Gayer , Q.C., applied to the Court for an or-

der of reference to the Master , to ascertain who wasentitled to the sum of £170, the amount the defen-dants were bound to pay for a portion of the ecclesi-astical lands used by thorn in the construction of dierailway. Under the Lands clauses ConsolidationAct tlie money should be invested in land , andthe dividend s paid to the petitioner. He appre-hended that the Court could itself grant the order ,ns no encumbrances could affect the lands , and liehad the affidavit of the petitioner as to his being en-titled to receive the dividend s of the money invested.

The Court gave an order that the money shouldbe invested in the 3i per Quents., that the Accoun-tant-General should draw and pay the dividends tothe petitioner , and that the company should pay thecosts.

"AX EVEN ING WITH THOMAS MOORE. "On this subject Mr. Parsons, who had been re-

cently in this City, is now lecturing in Clonmel. Heis accompanied by Miss Emily Wilton , from the Ha-nover-square rooms, London , who sings our nationalpoet 's best airs. On Monday evening the lectureroom of Clonmel was attended by a large and ad-miring audience.

We are happy lo perceive by advertisement th atMr. Parsons and his fair assistant, will soon pay Wa-terford a visit.

The " Morning Chronicle" says : — " WJion thechanges in both directions of the Budget shall havecome into operation , the increase of taxation willamount to.betwecn three and four millions, and theburdens remitted to five millions.

The " Wcxford Independent " says that a largearea of land has been taken up under the growth offlax in that county this year.

The proposed reduction on newspaper supple-ments is a mere delusion, except so far as the Timeiis concerned. No other journ al, we may say, hasoccasion to adopt the supplement.

" RE JCJT, A.1D F T.iH NOT."

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1853.

From our London Correspondent

LONDON , April 19, 1853.The parl iamentary annals of the past week, offer

more than usual interest , less for the questionsbrought in debate ,, than for some of the curious re-sults which they exhibit. Twice have the ministersbeen defeated in one week : on Tuesday a majorityof 07 against them decided on the retention of Kil-mainham Hospital, near Dublin founded by CharlesII., for the reception of invalid Irish soldiers, andthe abolition of which had been decreed by Govern-ment ; and on Thursday they were again vanquishedby a majority of 21 on a proposition of Mr. MilnerGibson that the advertisement duty ought to be re-pealed, and for which it is a significant fact that Mr.Disraeli , the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer voted ,making, I think , the somewhat lame excuse thatwhen in power the increased demand in the esti-mates prevented hi;n from conceding this boon tothe newspaper interest. Recent precedents haveshown that defeat is not identical with a surrenderof the seals of office , that adverse majorities, thoughborne with resignation of mind , need not induce re-signation of place. With the vital elasticity of ashrub after a tempest, ministers again raise theitheads , looking forward in hopeful expectancy to theBudget as a life-boat which may carry themselvesover the sea of opinion to the shores of popularity.

On Friday in the House of Commons the bill foradmitting the Jews was read a third time, therebeing a considerable majority . The best speechesinopposition to tlie question were those of Mr.White-si'd'e, the member for Enniskillen , - and Mr. S. Child ,the member for North Staffordshire ; the most ablespeakers in support of it were Lord John Russell andMr. Bright. The member for Manchester was un-doubtedl y brilliant. In speaking of the house ofLords he said :—" I thoug ht noblemen in that as-sembly were in an atmosphere so sere, that thoughdisturbed occasionally by prelates and the disputa-tions of rival lawcrs, but for that, I should jud ge itto be a place ' where the wicked cease fro m troublingand the weary are at rest.' "

Mr. Gladstone's Budget is at length before theworld. Although not all that could be wished , iureception is rather cordial than otherwise , and' suchgood points as. an abolition of the duty on soap, theprogressive reductions of the taxes on tea and otherarticles of domestic consumption , and the loweringof the adverti sement duty to six ponce, entitle it tofavorable consideration. On the other hand , the re-tention of the obnoxious income tax , and the refusalto recognise any distinction between precarious andfixed incomes, qualify to an extent perhaps dange-rous to its public adoption , the financial scheme ofthe government. The recipients of such small sa-laries as come within the scope of the Bud get surelycontribute sufficientl y to the monetary exigencies ofthe state in tlie shape of assessed and other taxes,levied cither diecctl y or indirectl y, without having animpost levied on their very income, as if it were alegacy or a free gift , instead of the modest equivalentfor labour of the hands or head. Mr. Gladstone willachieve a popularity which he has never yet won , iflie will refrain,from di pping his hands so deeply inthe pockets of people of moderate means.

THE MEAN S BY WHICH GRIEVANCESARE REDRESSED.

Jlr. Richard Lalor Shell , then M.P. for Dun-garvan , in defending Mr. John O'Connefl at thememorable siate trials said :—" I am well aware" that we shall be tol d that a government so bene-" ficent as the pre sent is, anxious to govern the" country with impartiality—anxious to avoid all" party distinctions , will never turn an unheeding" car to the calm siatement of the grievances un-" der which the peop le of Ireland may conceive" themselves to lie labouring. But , gentlemen ," I do not find in reading the history of any coun-" try, that , by such means , the redress of any one" grievance was ever yet obtained. It was not ," at all events , by following such suggestions ihat" the liberty of Ireland was accomp lished by the" great consp irators of 1782."

[Is not the above extract most applicable tothe politics of the present time ?J

During a recent visit to Carrick-on- Suir , weinspected tlie various departments of the work-house , and found i(s cleanliness , regularity , andgood managem ent such as to reflect great credi iun Mr. Horan , the master, and his subordin ate of-ficers.

* • " THE MEMBER' if OK KOS8. J,

It will be seen by a London correspondenceelsewhere in our paper, that Chatles Gavan Duffy

has been declared the .sitting member for NewRoss by a Parliamentary Committee . of theHouse' of Commons." ' We ' are glad of this,on account of the unjust and factious oppositionwhich Mr. Duff y had endured at the hands of anold rotten , obsolete, and aristocratic party in Boss.Lambert , his opponent , is a nominal Catholic, buta man of the most rampant Tory—if not worsethan Tory—princi ples. We are glad , we say, ofhis defeat , because the more of his class that mayenter Parliament the less chance there would be forthe advance of popular princi ples, or popular mea-sures. Duff y, we think , would be worth a ship-load of such anti-national slaves. We would ra-ther see Ross never represented than representedby a person of old " Luttrell Lambert 's" stamp.He thoug ht to oust Duffy on the grounds of non-qualification. But he failed. Sad, indeed , wouldbe the condition of the House .of Commons , ifnone but the Lambert class were permitted tosater its portals. If that were the case, we shouldnever have had a Peel—a Bri gh t—a Cobden—aCanning—a Disraeli—or a Macaulcy, in the Housej f Commons.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES—INCOMETAX.

We percei ve by the parliamentary reports thaton Tuesday ni ght the Chancellor of the Exche-quer , in j eply to llr. Herbert , said the govern-ment did not intend to draw any distincti on be-tween the money advanced to Ireland for carry ingout the poor law and that advanced for relievingthe distress in Irel and durin g the famine. Thesetieo sums together, he stated , amounted to aboutfiverand-a-half millions, and represented the con-solidated annuities. Tlie government propose tcremit the debt entirel y if the house should con-sent to extend the income tax to this country.This would be a boon with a vengeance—the curewould be as bad. if not worse , than the disease—for impoverished Ireland is not ju st now preparedlo meet such an overwhelming burthen as thatlax would prove to be. T!ic true justice to Ire-land on this question would be , to take llie sponge•md wi pe out every penny of it.

Here is whig consistency.In spite of Lord John and Company, however , theabolition of the duty on advertisements was car-ried by a majority of 31 in a very full house.This duty was an infamous impost not so mudon the press itself as on the public at large. Ilis well known that one shilling duty had to bepaid to the crotvn f or every time every advertise-ment was inserted in any newspaper in the threekingdoms. And what made the thing worse was,the poor servant out of place had to piy a? muchJuty in seeking for emp loyment , as the nobleman ,with his thousands a year , who mi ght be in searchof a servant.

But , how did our independent Waterford mem-bers act on this question ? Mr. Meag her and Mr.Kcatinge voted for the measure—Jlr. Esmomlewas absent—but Mr. Power voted ayainst it—that is, voted as usual with the government!!Mr, Ball , Mr. Cornelius O'Brien , and two orthree other " indepen dent " members also votedwith the government.

Constituencies should take a note of the votesand conduct of those men who side tlie govern-ment throug h " thick and thin. " Another elec-tion may not be far off , and it would be highl yimportant that every man , and woman too , shouldbe well fortified with ammunition against the (layof reckoning comes.

We cannot , however , but express our thanks toSir. Meagher—who always votes and acts inde-pende nt of government influence—for the interesthe took in the success of. this question. He notonly forwarded us some parliamentary matters forour guidance and in formation , but he likewisepresented for us a petition to the House on thesubject. At the election we said a good deal con-cerning Mr. Christmas and his politics ; but wemust confess that , were he in the house , we dobelieve that he would not have voted against thismotion. Watcrford , forsooth , has a bold—asp irited—and an independent lot of members !

ATIILONE ELECTION—KEOGH ON HISTRIAL.

Whilst we write we believe the election for Alh-Jone is progressing. Keogh is on liis trial—per-haps his last trial—and if he be convicted , andsentenced to retire into obscurity—like his friendin Cat low—th e government as well as him-self will have sustaiiied a heavy blow and greatdiscouragement. We hope lie may be ousted ;but we have our doubts , app earing as it does , thatthe Bishop and many of his clergy are—if notfor him entirely—certainl y not against him. IfKeogh had not disgraced himself and the countryby his pled ges against the taking of place, no onewould blame him , and no person of liberal prin-ci ples should be dissatisfied at his return . Calcu-lating, however , the amount of services (?) whichhimsel f and Mr, Sadlicr have rendered the countrysince their connection with government , we cannotbut feel a sense of sorrow for their humiliation ,and sincerel y regret that men of such abilitiesshould allow themselves to be gagged—as they ap-pear to be—for the blandishments of fleetinghonours and temporary power. -

To tlie Editor of flic Watcrford Sews

Waterford , April 20!h, 1853.Sin ,—In your report of the proceedings of the

Board of Guardians on Thnrsdny the Mth inst., itappears one of the Board stated " that the contractorfor medicine opposed to me on that occasion was 75per cent under my prices in some cases." In replyto tliis assertion I can only repeat what I have al-read y stated before the board , nanu'ly—that myprices were strictly in accordance with the Londonmarket price of Drugs in every INSTASCE, as canho seen by reference to my Tender ; but if any gen-tleman wish to offer articles 75 per cent under thecost price, of course he is perfectl y at liberty to do'o, 1 only appeal to the public to judge of the resultuf such a system. 1 remain sir, your obedientServant,

D. HARRINGTON.

THE LATE EXECUTIONS.DnAit SIR —There are two circumstances connected

with the unfortunate men which I th ink-should becommented on by the press.

The first—that f rom the time the sentence waspassed up to the execution , a period of six weeks,the)- were not allowed to attend Divine service, andcoul d not have the benefit of hearing Mass, unlessthe priest choose to say it in their cells—a inattciwhich would have been so very inconvenient inmany ways as to render it impossible.

In the next place, the unfortunate wretches—owing cither to the ill-construction of the machine,its being out of order or some bungling on the part) t the executioner and his assistants—were allowedto remain full y four times as long on the drop as theyshould have been : indeed , I believe, had Hackcttremained half a minute longer, he would havefainted ; owing also to the wrong adjustment of therope, his suiTerings were dreadfull y prolonged—it iseven rumoured tliat the hangman boasted afterwardsthat he did this on purpose , owing to some feeling heentertained against him.

Now, I believe it to be the dut y of three of theprison functionaries to have looked to this * •

I have little doub t if the attention of the govern-ment vras caller] to the matters complained of, thatit would go a good way to prevent similar occur-rences , and which for humanity sake, is much to bedesired—as you will agree with me that it is ENOUGHto be killed without being tortured beforehand.

Yours, truly, J.

MAY, THE MONTH OF MAM

As spring advances , May, the fairest of her train ,comes forward. May, the month of blooming flowersand joyous hope—of blossoms giving fair promise ofabundant fruit , and prompting the human heart toexult in the beneficence of its Creator. It is not forthe mere gratification of sensuality that nature yieldsher perfume, or spreads beneath our feet herenamelled carpet—iliey are fresh tokens of God'sund ying love. To him who sees the Creator in ailHis works, the simplest flower of the field seemsto say—" Behold how he loves you. Your God has,from all eternity, designed to place me here foryour happiness, and to remind you of His love. Thefragrance which we scatter is the. incense of nature,but your love is the spiritual perfume most pleasingto the Deity. Oh man, created, redeemed, andalmost deified, raise your mind to the contemplationof those eternal regions where tlie flowers never die,and where blooms the mystic rose, the delimit ofParadise—the immaculate one— M ARY , the motherof JKSOS and of you."

The pillar of truth and the piety of the faithfulhave devoted the month of May to tlie glory of theimmaculate Virgin. Now each pious family pre-pares the oratory in which her statues are placed topractice devotion in her honor—now the choicestflowers are culled to decorate her altars—now ouvchurches are about to be frequented by the lovers ofJ ESUS and M AHY, to obtain her powerful intercessionwith her Divine Son—now the j>ity of the " refuge ofsinners" is to be importuned for the salvation of somedear lost one, and not in vain ; for, according to thegreat St. Bernard , " it was never heard of in any agethat those who had recourse to Her powerful inter-cession were ever abandoned. "

This edify ing devotion is fast extending all overIreland. It'is wonderful with what ardour the Irishheart devotes itself to (lie veneration of the motherof God , and considerable sums have been expendedon the decoration of her altars even by the poor incountry parishes. The sound of the " angelus bell"is also beginning to be more generally heard—thatsound which speaks of the ages of faith, and of theirreturning light. VINCENT.

Mr. Cadogan said the report was virtualty a voteof censure on the schoolmaster. •

The Chairman said there was no such intention.Mr. Hamilton's report spoke in general favourable

terms of the establishment, and praised the cleanli-ness and order ot the hospital very much.

BBEAD.

The Chairman read a statement made as to thecomparative expense of the first and second qualitybread used in the workhouse, with other public es-tablishments. It appeared the expense of the work-house bread was the greatest.

Great complaints were made also as to the badmanner in which it was made or baked. It was theopinion of some of the guardians that it would bebetter to give up the baking altogether, and getbread by contract.

Mr. Spencer gave notice for this day fortnight thatthey advertise for bread.

Other guardians were of op inion that there is aconsiderable saving by getting the bread made in theworkhouse, and il'it was dearer than in other institu-tions the flour must be stolen.

Chairman—The baker has eight or nine boys learn-ing the trade , and they are able to outwit any man,

Several app lications from paupers for clothes toleave the house, were read , but not entertained.

CONVENT AUXILIARY SCHOOL.

Several specimens of embroidery and variousother works—as well as copy books, elegantlywritten—performed by the female- children at thisschool , were exhibited , and greatl y admired for theirvery excellent execution. Application wa? madefor clothes for some of the embroidery workers toenable them to go out to work at the public sewedmuslin establishments in the city.—Granted.

OUT-DOOR Rr.LrEF.Mr. Cadogan , on l^ing called on to bring forward

the motion of which he had given notice, said hewould postpone it.

This was obj ected to by several guardians, and the<*lerk was directed to read the notice, which was asfollows :—

•' I ^ive Notice that on this day fortnight I willmove that the Resolution of Sir II. \V. Barron 's for~bidding Out Door Relief to the classes allowed to borelieved by the Commissioners be rescinded , as it<-hangps the sp irit of the law and prevents the giiar*dians from using the discretion which the law nllowsthem. (Signed) "A. CADOGAN."

April 7th , 1853.The Clu'rk then read the following counter notice :" I give notice that I will , on thin day fortnight ,

move that the consideration of the subject alluded toin .Mr. Cadogan "s motion be postponed for sixmonth!).

(" Signed)April 7, 1S33. "THOMAS ELLIOTT."The chairman , after some discussion on the sub-

j oct , said Mr. Cadogan had no right to postpone hisj iotice without the consent of the board.

The clerk in reply to a question put to him , saidthe out-door relief for the last week was Ms. 9d.

Mr. Christmas said no resolution of the boardcould prevent out-door relief in cases of emergency ;it was only general out-door relief that was prevented.

Mr. Feehan—Th?n Sir Usury 's resolution was awork of supererogation.

Mr. Elliott—I want to shew that we ought not togive genera! out-door relief.

Alderman Phelun—Sir Henry 's resolution pre-vented the relieving officers from doing their dutyaccording to law.

Chairman—Mr. Christmas stated the spirit of theresolution , that out-door relief should not be given toany ono able to come into the workhouse.

Mr. Kiel y—The resolution loft them to die on theroad side, for they would prefer that to come intothis pest house.

Mr. Cadogan at length consented to go on withhis motion. He said Mr. Christmas's interpretationof Sir Henry Barron 's resolution confined it to casesot* emergency, but the fact was that the relievingofficers were afraid to give out door relief with SirHenry 's resolution staring them in the face. Hewas not for indiscriminate relief—for he was awareabuses would exist under such a system (hear).But there were three classes of persons to whom hewould atford out door relief , namely—the temporarys'ck man , who would not have a second day 's pro-visions if he did not get it from his neighbours whoare beggars like himself. He would be stringent ingiving out door relief to any one but the bend ofu family, who if forced into the poor house wouldhave his cabin knocked down the moment he turnedhis back—tiie system was depopulating the country,und he pronounced it unjust and unchristian to forcethem in because of a temporary sickness. If let inhe would not be let out without bringing his familywith him. Who then would employ him for a singledav , and give him a place of shelter for his family ?Not one. ~ The second class was the old men and theold women , who crowd this house to such an extentthat it is not safe fur a visitor to go through the house,without danger of contag ion. It cost* 2s Od each tonuppon them in the bouse, and they would be quitesatisfied with the half of that (hear, hear.) Thethird class was, widows and children. Whenthey come in here they are separated fromtheir children , and they have feelings for their child-ren ns well as the rich. Widows with three or fourchildren cost the ratepayers 10s. a week , when theywould be satisfied with less tl.an a third of that sum.But to strolling robbers and blackguards he wouldnot give a penny (hear) . Under Sir Henry Bar-ron 's resolution , no one gets out-door relief withouta doctor 's certificate , and I knew Dr. Cullinan to getlOi. to go see and certify for a poor person who gotta relief Is. CJ ! Dr. Purcell said Dr. Cullinan hadno right to go, as the relieving officer had sufficientpowers himself to administer relief in every case hethought it was necessary (hear). He was only togive physic, and the relieving officer to administerkitchen physic (hear). Such resolutions as he com-plained of, forced the people to die in the ditches(hear). Keep them in thoir cabins till employmentgf- U better (hear). If there shoul d be impostors , letihe relieving oflieers guard against them. There arefive of them—two in the county Waterford , two inthe county Kilkenny, and the one in Waterford getsii't 'i a-year , and he does not give 55 pence in out-door relief. Surel y when peop le go to him for reliefhe packs them into the poor-house without knowingwhere they came from , or where to charge them to,but take whatever story they give him. Give thetempora ry unemployed or sick man such as will re-cover him.

The chairman said there was nothing to preventthe relieviug officer giving such a man bread.

Mr. Cadoirun—I know a relieving officer that gavebread in such a case, and he had to pay it out of hisown pocket , (hear) because he had not a doctor 's•certificate (hear.)

Chairman—That was clearly illegal (hear).Mr. Cadogan—Before the medical charities act

every doctor got 10s for visiting each sick person tosee if it was necessary to give relief (hear). SirHenry 's resolution on that book (pointing to the mi-nute book) is a disgrace to any one (hear). You allagree that it is illegal, I therefore move that it be re-scinded.

Mr. Kiely, V.C., seconded the motion.Capt. Newport would not yield to any one in

feelinVs of human ity for the poor, but if they gaveout-door relief it would be destructive to the rate-payers. Daniel O'Connel! said the poor laws wouldW the ruin of Ireland (hear, hear, and " that s true •)He Capt N., did not know why the resolution wascalled Sir Henry Barron 's unless to make himmore unpopular (laughter).

Mr. Elliott said the question was a very importantone , and then advanced several arguments againstMr. Cadogau 's motion. He concluded by makj nghis motion as above given.

Colonel Snow seconded it.Mr. Keil y o pposed it.Several other guardians having spoken for ana

again-it, . .,Mr. John Carroll commenced by referring to Mr.

Elliott s observations that the question they had toconsider was one of great importance. He (Mr, C.)perfectly agreed with him, and submitted that thereare several abuses connected with out-door relief.—The encouragement of vagrancy and theft , togetherwitft the expense (hear, hear). The two first objec -tion* are CMily remedied. The local dispensarycommittees can find no difficulty in keeping thenames of trading beggars, vagrants, and thieves, offthe out-door relief list, -by having it posted in someconspicuous place every week, where all the rate-payers can see it, and object to any person on it(he?r, hear). I challenge anyone to prove that it ischeaper to support the.poor in the house than out ofit By calculating food, clothing, &c, it will takeat least Is. 6d., or oven 2s, to maintain a man in the

the workhouse—you may say he is booked—he can-net go out to seek emp loyment without the family,and then they must beg their way home. No, theHOME is LEVELLED, and ten to one but the whole fa-mily returns to the workhouse, never again to leaveit , BUT IN COFFINS (hear, hear). It is a cruel heart-less mockery to talk of relieving the poor in thishouse—it is no relief to a convict to be in this house.Better to be transported for life—an d so, ns we find ,the poor are forced to stay outside to starve, beg,and steal (hear,, hear, hear). Let no gentlemantal k of expense—(hear)—thieves and beggars arethe most expensive people amongst U3. I haveknown beggars to collect more than seven, aye andten shillings a week, when labourers were for four.—But you will say down with the beggars. Then theyMUST steal, and they may be at it for years beforethey are found out , and then it will cost more toprosecute them five or six times, and after to transportthem, than what would give them out-relief duringtheir lives (hear, hoar). And after all the expense,we demoralise the country. How ? We give norelief unless in the house, in which we are unable tomaintain discipline morality, health, or happiness—(hear)—and outside they beg or rob, and still worse,they train others to beg and rob, and make morecost (hear, hear). How will out-relief demoralisesociety ? Is it by giving the poor a small pittance intheir humble cottages, where they can get a littleaid from their friends—and the poorest man has afriend when he is honest—until some work comesround ? Is it by leaving the wife in the husband'sprotection , and the children under both ? Is it bygiving them a little help in the way in which theywould wish to receive it ? No. But to go on as weare—that is the way to demoralise, and to keepthem demoralised , and also to increase expense—but it may be said that out relief won't keep peoplef rom begging or from stealing, neither will the pre-sent system ; there will be rogues amongst the pooras well as amongst the rich until the end of time.But I maintain , that the poor have more inducementto be honest, when we treat them with kindness andgenerosity, than when they have nothing at all togain in this world by good conduct. I need not saythat all our neglect of the poor would re-act uponourselves, as we mete to them so shall it be meted tous. Even their children may yet be living underour own roof as servants ; it is our interest as well<as our duty to keep them fro m being demoralised,to make them moral , virtuous , religious, and indus-trious. I trust therefore that we shall give a gene-rous aud j udicious out-relief to the mora l and indus-trious labourers. Lot the idle and misconductedcome in here. Let us tench them morality and in-dustry, so that they may leave this house reformed,and useful members of society.

Mr. Elliott and Mr. Cadogan spoke in reply.The chairman having put the question , a division

was subsequently called for, when the voting was asfollows :—

For Mr. Elliott's motion—Messrs. Elliott , Carew,Anderson , Dillon , Spencer, Roberts , Osborhe, Mac-kesy, Gamble, Tracey, R. Carroll , Murp hy, O'Riell y,Kearney, Quinn , Power, O'Brien , Anthony, King,Snow, Coghlan , Lewis, Newport, Christmas, and theChairman.—25.

For Mr. Cadogan 's motion—Messrs. J. Carroll ,Mnckey , Kiely, Feehan, Phelan and Cadogan.—7.

Mr. "Cadogan renewed his notice for that day fort-night 's discussion. He also renewed the followingnotice :—

" I give Notice, that on this day fortnight I willmove that the Seconds Flour be substituted forBread for the healthy inmates , instead of IndianMeal and Second Flour, ns used at present.

BAD BREAD THREATENED RIOT.Just us the Board was breaking up, the Mastercx-

hibitcd some loaves of bread as black as turf, andsaid the men refused to eat it , and that if they got itagain they would " kick up a row " next day.

Measures were taken to prevent any rioting, afterwhich the Board adj ourned.

POLICE OFFICE—WEDNESDAY .The Mayor and Mr. Tabuteau sat on the bench.

A C.tnitlCK KODIIKII.David Veale, aged 19, who stated he belonged to

Carrick-on-Suir, was charged with stealing a pieceof gingham , on Tuesday evening, from the shop ofMr. John Tobin of High-street.

Mr. Tobin deposed than on missing the goods hepursued tjj e prisoner, who had been pointed out tohim by sotii e little boys who were play ing near hisdoor, and said they saw him drop it.

Mr. Tobin produced a small boy, with a whitepinafore, who said lie saw the prisoner drop it. Thelittle fellow, whose name is Nicholas Jones, the sonof a sailor, was interrogated by Mr. Tabuteau as tothe nature of an oath , and gave very satisfactoryanswers. He said he went regularly to school , thathe knew his prayers, that if he tol d lies he would goto hell, and those that don 't tell lies go to heaven.

The boy was then sworn , and deposed that he sawhe prisoner running away, and drop the piece ofgingham.

Informations were ordered , and the prisoner wascommitted for trial at the Quarter Sessions.

A DEN OF THIEVES.Michael Kirwan iind his wife Bridget , an old

couple, were charged by Constable l'allis with hav-ing in their house in Ussher's-arch, Patrick-street ,a blanket and other articles which were stolen fromthe house of Miss Commins, who resides in the Glenof Ballybricken.

Mary Tobin, Miss Commins 's servant , proved thata blanket , sheets, &c, had been stolen out through aback window , between nine and ten o'clock at night.

Constable Pallia deposed that having heard that aboy named John Davis, a notorious young robber,had been seen prowling about the house on the nightof the robbery, he proceeded to the prisoner 's house,where Davis lodged, and discovered the stolen goods,together with a towel, marked as the property of Dr.J. P. Mackesy. That old woman , continued Con-stable Pallia, keeps the worst house in the city—infact it is a den of thieves. There is a sort of an oldcastle at the rere of it, and when the police go therethe robbers escape backwards, and conceal them-selves. They are such adepts, that in two or threehours after a robbery, they generally transmute thegoods in such a manner, that it is difficu lt afterwardsto identify them.

The female prisoner said she bought the articles.The husband said he knew nothing at all about them.She said Davis told her he got them from his step-mother, and only for that she wouldn 't buy them.

Constable Pallis said she told him she had theblanket for tw elve months.

The bench directed that informations be takenagainst the woman, to be tried at quarter sessions,and ordered the man to be discharged.

A TALCTOT.A young woman named Ellen Power, whose face

was almost entirely concealed with the hood of hercloak, wa» described on the complaint book , ashaving stolen a paletot from Mrs. Cooney of Jolm-st,,who would not come forward to prosecute. The pri-soner was consequently discharged.

A CLONMEL BOY.James Collins, of Coal-quay, shoemaker , charged

a young chap, who stated he was from Clonmel , withgoing into his shop for the purpose of stealing someof his shoes. I caught him on Monday night athalf past ten in my shop—in fact he keeps suchprowling about that it is as much a6 I can do towatch him. He seems to be a knowing thief(laughter).

Boy—Did you, Mr. Shoemaker, see me lay handson anything ? Witness—I did not.

Boy—Was I concealed in your filiop ? Witness—you were standing in the middle of the ehop.

Boy—Exactly ; that is all quite right (laughter).Constable Pallis—He and another chap named

Murphy were concerned in a robbery at Carrick afew weeks ago.

Boy—If I committed a robbery there do yonthink I'd be acquitted ?

Mr. Tabuteau—•You are a clever rogue.Boy—I only came to town yesterday, yet the

shoemaker says I was in his shop on Monday night—quite out of the question , no such thing (laughter).

The magistrates, on discharging the boy, cautionedthe police to keep a close look out on his movements.

NON-PROSECUTIOV.

A young woman named Ellen Power, a denizen ofUssher's arch, was charged with having pawnedsome small articles of wearing apparel that had beenstolen from Mrs. Dart, of Merchant's-quay, who

would not prosecute.Magistrate—Where does the prisoner reside ?Constable Pallis—In Ussher's arch (laughter).Mayor—You may guess her occupation by her re-

sidence (laughter). -

ATULONE ELECTION

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT .]Athlone, April 21.

The nomination of candidates took place in thistown on yesterday (Wednesday) morning. Mr.Keogh was accompanied to the hustings by a largebody of the Cath olic Clergy ; and he was proposedby Wm. O'Connell, M. D. and seconded by Mr. Ab-bott , a liberal Protestant.

Mr. K EOGII then addressed the electors amid greatcheers. He said the bishop and clergy of Athlonewere with him, and that he never changed hit prin-ciples or opinions—that he was still as he always was,for tenant right and civil and religious liberty ; andthat if those measures were not conceded , he wouldresign his office of solicitor-general. He said hisopponent deceived O'Connell , was a tyrant abroad,and was allied wifh the Orange faction at home. Hesaid his name was originally Nockton , but hechanged it to Norton , when he got grand ! Heread a letter from Maurice O'Connell , approving ofhis (Keogh's) conduct generally. Mr. Keogh praisedhis own abilities , snid his family were of an old Irishstock , and snid that he was raised to his present highposition by the people. He then iibused the pressof Ireland , which abused him , and concluded a bril-liant speech amid enthusiastic cheers both frompriests and people.

[It is very remarkabl e, as you will observe below,that both candidates commenced their career on thevery press which one of them now maligns. Andmore strange still , Mr. Keogh being reckoned as yetby most reading people as one of the staff—orra ther a sleeping partner—of the Government" Telegraph."]

Mr. Norton rose amid great groaning—He snidMr. Keogh never made a piomise but to violate it ,and that his life is a living lie. How did Mr. Keoghbegin his life. He began it as a PALTRY PAMPHLETEER ,whilst he, Mr. Norton , UEOAN IT AS THE EDITOR OF ARESI- ECTABLE JOURNAL. You (said he to Keogh) be-gan your carper by libelling the Catholic clergy—youbegan it as a Conservative—you began it as a TenantRighter, and you have betrayed and deceived everyone, and every thing. But whilst he (Mr. N.) con-ducted a jo urnal, lie never abused the Catholic clergy.Mr. Norton concluded by stating that he was the sonof a poor shopkecpei of Athloue, and that he was aTenant Righter, and a supporter, but not a betrayer,of liberal principles.

The town is fearfull y excited. The general im-pression is, and I believe it to be a fact, that the So-licitor General will be returned by a small majority.He dined with the bishup and clergy several timesbefore the election.

A show of hands was declared in favour of Mr.Keogh. The polling will commence on to-morrow(Friday) morning.

To tlic Editor of (he " Waterford News."RE-ELECTION OF MEDICAL OFFICER

Dungarvan, Apr.il 19.It has been currently reported here that the ex-

officio guardians of this union are usiug their influ-ence to muster a strong party to oust, if possible, thepresent medical officer , Dr. Coman, at the forthcom-ing election. Let not this be a party-business but apublic one, for the ratepayers and the unfortunateinmates, suffer their own share. If such be the case,if men who ought to be honorable will resort to suchmeans, for factious purposes, in order to inj ure arespected gentleman , it says but littl e for the highfeelings which ought to animate the gentry of thiscountry . I am at a loss to know on what groundsare they to oppose Doctor Coirtnn 1 Certainl y notfor want of competency, or attention in the dischargeof his official duties ? At a period when this countryWas visited by an ep idemic disease, when terror anddismay shook the most stoic heart, and man trem-bled before the angel of death , where then was Dr.Coman'a opponent ? Was he in the midst of death ?was he breathing contagion ?—was he administeringrelief to the poor ?—was he amongst the people 'ttfDungarvan 1 No, he was not ; but Doctor ComanWas. And some of the humane members, of the pre-sent board stood firml y to the cause of suffering hu-manity, nnd discharged their onerous duties togetherwith the present medical officer ; and I trust his ef-ficiency and exertions then will not be forgotten now,and that he will be returned not only with the voiceof the public—which he has at present—but thevoice of the guardians. J.

WHAT A CONTRAST ?The Chancellor of the Exchequer , through an en-

larged feeling of liberality, made the followingremark in the course of his late speech on the Bud-get question. He was struck with the " advantage ofestablishing an equal system of taxation (meaningthe income tax , we suppose) beeween England andIreland ," and said—" that Government proposed" that the Irish consolidated annuities should be" wholly wiped away as from and after the 29th" September last.

Captain Long of the U. S. Receiving ship Ohio,made his profession of Faith , and was baptized in theChapel of St. Vincent 's Orphan Asylum, on the 2dinstant.

M. Oliver A. Shaw, formerly Pastor of the Episco-palian church at Philadel phia ,* renounced the errorsof Protestantism and was baptized by the Bishop ofPotier on the 5th instant.

His son, a youth of uncommon talents, also follow-ed his father's footsteps and become a convert.

We learn from a Correspondent that a few of theex-officio guardians of the Dungarvan union resortto petty meannesses, in order to prevent reporters ,when they attend from Waterford or Cork , fromtaking notes by delay ing the important part of theproceedings of the board till they are obliged to leavefor home.

THE PROFLIGATE HOUSE IN FRANCIS-STREET.We were renlly surprised at the tlccision of Christian Mugi3-

trate.i in IliU casual Die Pclty Sessions tn-dny. The Mnyo r,Mr. Tubiteau , anil Mr. C. Newport were the only pennns on theBench. They had already received a memorial signed by allthe re..n«ctable people of the ncishbomhood, complaining of thishouse. It was proved by Mr. Doolirv, that he was obliged inconsequence of the constant nightl y disturbances, to lcare thehouse adjoining the Brothel, and go live elsewhere. Three otherivitnc.«es gave on ooth similar evidence ; and, a.s a final proof ofDie profligacy of the concern , a man named Patrick Walsh, look-in;; fjr a captain who owed him money, sought and found himin this house in bed with a prostitute , and ho was asked by theBench could he swear she was not his wile.

The man swore that OV: Captain was mnrried, and that hiswife ot the time was in the West of England. And in the faceof t'l/s evidence tJiey refused to send l)i« rase to Quarter Ses-sions, whilst they inflicted on the six little boys the heavy pe-nalty of Gs. and costs, for taking the law into their ownhands nnd endeavouring to effect what the Mayor and Magis-trates declined doing—the expultion of notoriously bad pharac-tcrs from a quiet, religious, and pcuceable neighbourhood.—We understand Mr. Anthony Jackson is the agent for -the pro-petty.

MUSLIN EMBROIDERY IN WEXFORD.This manufacture is advancing rapidly. Upwards

of 600 females are now employed, and those whohave been working for some time can already earnfrom 23. to 3s. per week. Thebeginning is discour-nging to those who have not oefore learned touse a needle, as for some weeks little can be earned,but the ladies can greatly remedy tins by encourage-ment and cast-off clothes, and implements to thosewho are unable to procure them. The charges for ateacher, &c, will be about £40, and when that sumis subscribed the subscribers will meet to choose acommittee,

We would strongly urge upon the clergymen andgentlemen who have influence in the surroundingvillages, the advisability of taking up this question ina spirited manner. It is one which, if properly carriedout, must ultimately confer the greatest blessing onthe community. Mr. Wallace, the active agent ofMr. M'Donnell, is about, we believe, visiting Killi-nick, in the endeavour to extend employment, andWe are sure that he will be met with right good willin that industrious village, by all who are anxious toBee the people prosper and the poor houses empty.—" Wexford Guardian."

SAILORS' HOME.The following is an extract from a letter received

by the Mayor" from Captain Stewart, R.N., on theabove subject :—

" We got on slowly at first, but now the seamenare walking in by batches, and we have been mostuseful to ship-wrecked and hurt seamen. You haveno asylum in Waterford for seamen sent in withhurts, or Bhip-wrecked seamen, since the winding upof the Merchant Seaman's Fund, all ports, most un-wisely, have been deprived of affording aid to sick,hurt, and destitute seamen, except as ' PAUPERS,'and Jack don't like that. I also find that mastersand shipowners are again beginning and glad to getapprentices—you are aware that by Laoouchere 'shastily digested act, owners and masters were re-leased from the obligation of taking in boys ; thisruined the nunery of seamen in Ireland, especia"yin Cork, where over 200 boys were annually absorbedby the merchant ships, replaced by Scotch andEnglish boys, able to pay 30 and 40 pounds ; theyalso, coming in, a dearth of seamen followed, andhence necessity is forcing a renewal of a custom orlaw abolished."

EXTRAORDINARY YORKSHIRE ELOPEMENT.—InLEY-burn there has lived for many years an ingeniousperson, whose versatility of talent has long beenacknowledged by the. inhabitants. Some litUe timeago our hero manifested a slight eccentricity, in ex-pressing a wish to his housekeeper that he might beable, at Christmas, to turn the beam at twenty stone(then weighing, upwards of sixteen stone) ; at thesame time promising her marriage if, by dint of highfeeding, she could assist him in accomplishing thatobject ! She accordingly set to work : many andludicrous were the experiments tried ere the desiredspecific was found. By proper diet, judiciously pre-scribed, our worthy's corporal structure graduallyexpanded, until at length it was whispered that hisouter garments were undergoing alteration at aneighbouring tailor's. On Christinas day pur herowas brought to the beam, which he easily cast attwenty stone three pounds, exactly three poundsmore than was stipulated for. His housekeeper hav-ing successfully accomplished her part of the agree-ment, now called upon him to ratify his promise atthe altar. He at once assented, and made prepara-tion for the ceremony. But, alas ! the bond was notto be completed .so easily. The two devotees ofCupid had not, unfortunately, consulted their neigh-bours—a thing of paramount importance in all smalltowns. On the day when their bliss should havebeen consummated a mob assailed the house, hurlingbricks, stones, and other available missiles rightthrough the windows, until the unfortunate couple•were obliged to quit the scene of devastation, andtake refuge in an iron -warehouse. Here they re-mained until the mob subsided, and then retired totheir shattered domicile, determined to be up withthe lark, and, on the wings of love, fly to the havenof Gretna. A post-chaise was secretly ordered atthe Bolton Arms ; next evening, at five o'clock, theywere over the Border, and shortly after man and wifewere congratulating each other on having outwittedtheir " knowing" neighbours.—" WorcestershireChronicle."

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND O'CONNELL .—Sir RobertPeel is said to have expressed his high appreciationof O'Connell's Parliamentary abilities. While theReform bill was under discussion, the speeches of itsfriendt and foes were one day canvassed at LadyBeauchamp's. On O'Connell's name being men-t'oned.some critio fastidiously said, "Oh, a broguingIrish fellow J who would listen to him ? I alwayswalk out of the House when he opens his lips !"" Come, Peel," said old Lord Westmoreland, " letme hear your opinion," «' My opinion candidly is,replied Sir Robert, " that if I wanted an efficientand eloquent advocate, I would readily give up allthe other orators of whom we have been talking,TfV^ei I had with me this same " broguing IrishiWiltt*' "-rfTcMoan!

NEW ROSS UNION WORKHOUSE

On Wednesday the usual weekly meeting of theRoss union was held. '

JoriN PURCELL, Esq., D.V.C., in the chair.The following guardians atsended :—MessrsjE. Ka-

vanagh, J. Finn, G, Warren, M'Lean, Breen, Sweet-man, Lacy, Hawkshaw, Tindall, ' Byrne, Rossiter,Wallace, Ussher, Lambert, Gifford, Glascott, Murphy,Dollard, Dooley, Forrestall, Browne, Power, Moore,Nolan, Whitty, and Shea.

STATE OF THE HOUSE.Number in the house last week, ... 2007Admitted during the week, 99Discharged, ... ... . 93Died, 3Remaining in house, April 9th, ... 2010Rates collected during the week, £752 18 6Uncollected, 6357 18 1The Contractor whose goods were rejected last

week, sent up new linen and the same shawls. Ashopman of each attended with the goods.

Mr. Hicke'sman said the linen he had this day wasfully as good, if not better, than sample. It was ex-amined by several Guardians, in addition to thosewho condemned the former linen, last week.

Mr. Finn said no man could tell him the value oflinen ; he had wove linen himself, and was a perfectjudge of the article, he pronounced it decidedly in-ferior to sample. He also examined the shawls fromMrs. Galavan's, and said some of them were nearlyequal to sample, others not worth more than half theprice.

Mrs. Galavan's man said the whole lot ought to beweighad and the average take, when it would befound they were as heavy as the sample.

Mr. Finn said they were not equal to sample.Mr. Warren agreed.It was then put from the chair Mid agreed to

unanimously, that all these goods should be rejected.The Master said he had sent back buttermilk to

Mr. Mcehan on last Thursday, it was very bad ; hegot good milk in its-place, and for the last four orfive days he found that the milk supplied to thehouse was greatly improved in general. He also re-ported that he sent back meat to Mr. Rishford, but-cher, on Monday, it was bad ; since then the meatsupplied was very good. ¦ .

The Master was instructed to be very careful andsee that all Contractors send in goods equal tosample.

A discussion took place relative to two appealcases tried before tho barrister. Mr. Hinson's valua-tion was reduced from £32 to £25, and Mr. Scallan'sfrom £28;to £23 103.

It was finally resolved that as Mr. Griffith's valua-tion would soon be the standard, it was not worthwhile to contest the point any longer, although se-veral Guardians considered there had not been suffi-cient grounds shoivu for the reduced value.

Miss . Molloy, the Schoolmistress, appointed lastweek, was called on to show that she was a trainedteacher, such being required by the advertise-ment ; she promised to have a certificate to that effectfrom the Inspector of National Schools by next Wed-nesday.

A letter from tho Commissioners was read, appro-ving of the grants of money for Emigration purposespassed at former meetings of the Guardians.

A long letter was read from Mr. Brehon, resigningthe office of Vice-Chairman,as he expected no goodfrom Boards of Guardians as at present constituted,pointed out in detail a lot of propositions he hadmade when attending that Board, none of whichwere attended to ; he was for entirely remodellingthe whole system.

Mr. Sweetman thought it would be better for Mr.Brehon to attend there, and try to carry out hisviews, censuring men who were attending to theirduty.

The resignation was accepted, and~On the motion of Mr. Hawkshaw, seconded byMr. Finn, Mr. E. A. Byrne was elected Vice-Chairman.

Mr. Sweetman and Mr. Breen protested againstthe appointment, on the ground that the Commission-ers had not yet decided whether the Board was alegal Board or not.

As the Commissioners had not given the informa-tion requested in Mr. Breen's notice as to the legalityof the Board.

Mr. Breen proposed that when their answer came,the Clerk would call a meeting for the Wednesdayfortnight after the receipt of their letter, to reconsi-der the appointment of Chairman.

Mr. Finn proposed as an amendment, that theChairmen were regularly appointed.

Mr. Hawkshaw seconded it.For Mr. Breen's resolution—Messrs. Moore, Sweet-

man, Breen, Rossiter, Lacy, Wallace, Whitty Lam-bert, Shea.—Nine.

AgainBt it—Messrs. Kavanagh, Finu, Browne,Power, Purcell, Byrne, Murphy, M'Lean, Warren,Dooly, Dollard, Sutton, Forrestall, Hawkshaw, Gif-ford.—Fifteen.

Declined voting—Messrs. Tyndall and Ussher.Mr. Power gave -notice that he would propose to

have a list published of all the ratepayers in the RossElectoral Division,'showing each ratepayer for whomvoting papers were' issued, whether voting paperswere returned in each case or uot—whom each rate-payer voted for, distinguishing between those allowedand disallowed by the Returning officer at the lastelection.

RErORTINO.

Mr. Warren proposed the resolution of which Mr.Purcell had given notice, relative to the appointmontof a reporter; he showed how advantageous it wouldbe to the ratepayers to have the proceedings of theBoard fairly reported. If this were done, a gooddeal of scheming would be exposed ; complaintsmade there would not be cushioned. If Contractorsdid not fulfil thdir contracts, the public would soonknow the fact. If the property of the house wasstolen the ratepayers would soon hear of it, and theymight believe him the guardians would soon hear ofit too, in all their ears. The report that he held inhis hand, and which he briefly alluded to last week,showed enormous losses, thousands of articles ofclothing gone and totally unaccounted for ; did anyman believe that if they had a vigilant reporter totell the ratepayers what the guardians were saying,and doing, such wholesale robbery would have beencommitted ? No such thing. When things aredone in the dark, people are not on their guard ; letin the light of public opinion through the mediumof a free pre&3 and the vermin would retreat intotheir holes. Schemers and tricksters would be putto flight and the public would have their right again.

Mr. Sweetman was always in favour of admittingthe press, but he objected to spending the money ofthe ratepayers in paying for a reporter ; there weretwo papers in Wexford and let them join and pay areporter ; it would add to their circulation, and hewas sure they would be glad to do it.

Mr. Purcell said if they would be glad to do it,why didn 't they long ago ? What he wanted was areporter paid by the guardians, and under their con-troul, that is, whom they might call to account if hedidn't fairly report all the proceedings. If a news-paper reporter comes here, we have no right to callhim to account, he may publish whatever he pleases,but our reporter should publish the whole truth, andhe was sure that £50 spent in that way would savethe ratepayers £500 a.year.

Mr. Hawkshaw said he had a paper in his hand1 The People' that contained reports of the Wexford,Enniscortny, and Ross Boards, and so far as Rosswas concerned, it was extremely accurate. Whenhe found these reports there given correctly, Wbvput a fresh tax on the ratepayers ? He believed,however, there was no reporter there that day.

Mr. Sweetman said there was the same reporteras last, he believed Mr. Power was reporting for hisown paper. :

Mr, Power said he had no call to the paper, thathe did report some of their proceedings, to draw theattention of the ratepayers to the board-room, thathe could not promise to do so always, but he wnsquite sure a faithful report of the proceedings at thoboard would be of more benefit to the ratepayersthan twenty times what they would have to pay a re-porter.

Mr. Warren then proposed that a reporter be ap-pointed on this day fortnight, and that proposals bereceived from all parties willing to report, statingterms, the Guardians to name a paper in which theproceedings are to be published.

Mr. E. Kavanagh seconded the resolution.Mr. Sweetman proposed and Mr. Gifford se-

conded an amendment that no paid reporter be ap-pointed.

For the Reporter—Messrs. Kavanagh, Finn,Brown, Power, Moore, Purcell, Warren, Nolan,Dooly, Whitty, Shea.—Eleven.

Against—Messrs Sweetman, Breen, Tindall, Rossi-ter, Ussher, Lacy, Wallace, Lambert, Hawkshaw,Oiflbrd .—Ten,

Mr. Hawkshaw proposed the" resolution of whiep."he had given notice, that the salary of the R-e- 1lieving Officers be reduced from £50 to '£30 a-yea'reach. ' • ' ¦ ¦ ; ¦ ,

Mr. Murphy seconded the resolution. ' jMr. Breen proposed as an amendment that a Com-

mittee be appointed to inquire into the salaries ofall the officers, and report their conclusions to theBoard. .

Mr. Hawkshaw Would .agree to that motion, andwithdrew his own. ;

Mr. Warren read the report of the committee ofinspection , detailing the enormous losses sustained bythe ratepayers, and showing that in thirteen \monthsending in March, 1853, over £1,400 worth of goodswere gone from the house and not accounted for.The report will he printed in extenso, and should beread by every ratepayer.

Mr. Breen proposed that a copy of the report hesent to the Commissioners, and that they be requestedto send down an inspector to have the whole affairinvestigated, with a view to see what remedy couldbe adopted. Agreed to.

Mr. Power wished to call the attention of the guar*dians to the fact, that over two hundred and fiftypaupers were in that house belonging to the Thomas-town union , that he was informed the paupers be«longing to the Thomastown union who had been inKilkenny and Callnn, were now in Thomastown, hutthose were allowed to remain here. It was a greatloss to this union, for we are obliged to continue torent the store on the quay, at the rate of £200 a-year, in consequence of these paupers ; if they weresent home we could- give up that store, as he hadfound on enquiry, from the Master. He thereforeproposed that the Clerk be instructed to proceed toThomastown on to-morrow, to arrange with theguardians of that union for the immediate removalof their paupers to Thomastown. Agreed to.

A month's notice was then given to give up thestore on the quay from Mr. Howlett, it having beentaken at £200 a-year, twith power to the guardiansto give it up at any time by giving a month's notice.

FLAXAt a meeting of the committee o{ the Wexford

Farming Society, held last week, the subject wasdiscussed of the advisability of landlords and tenantsin this county making speedy efforts to sow flax thisseason. Increasing inducements are held out to thegrowers of that useful crop, within this county.—Were every tenant farmer to have half an acre, oreven a quarter of an acre under flax , the quantitygrown would encourage a further influx of buyers,and aid in sustaining the establishments alreadyformed here, and that home manufacture, on whichstands on the healthiest base, would be extended.It is a manufacture which it is hoped will eventuallybe found largely carried on in Wexford itself. Weshould add that experienced persons agree that flaxsowing ought not to take place after the first weekin May.—" Wexford Guardian."

SCARCITY OF WORKMENIt is now when the progress of Spring and the

opening of some few Public works require labourersand tradesmen, that the effects of the previous life'swaste, and the present emigration, begin to be incon-veniently and seriously felt. A few years agonot very far from this city, in the locality of O'Brien'sBridge, one hundred able-bodied men could be hadat an hour's notice—Judge of the decac)' of popula-tion, when you are told that now in the same quarter,one-tenth of the number could not be got for anywages. Why ?—for the sad reason that they are notthere. In that place fifty houses were levelled, andthe occupiers, some of whom solvent farmers, rootedout. The consequence is, the- want of hands foragricultural and other employment. With the over-throw of the occupiers the smiths, carpenters andcart-makers they employed disappeared ; and wheredo you suppose such articles as they manufacturedare now sold and sought for ? Why in NenaghGaol and Workhouse, into both of which the Indus-trial Movement has penetrated ; and within the wallsof which carts and other vehicles and instrumentsare made. In the gaol is a smithy, in the poorhousea carpentry, and these are resorted to by farmersfrom Bird-hill, Killaloe , Castle connell and otherplaces, who find good work before them and pay theprice. Every prisoner in the gaol works at the occu-pation he knows best : and every tradesman in thepoorhouse is similarly engaged. The scarcity oftradesmen outside renders this resource seasonable,but if more hands for agriculture or public works arewanted where are they to be found ? That is a prob-lem the departure of every emigrant ship rendersmore difficult.—[Munster News.]

WATERFORD UNIONThe following notices of motion were given at the

board-room on yesterday week :—I give notice that on this day fortnight, I will

April 14, 1853.

LOVERS —There is not, in all nature, anything s°utterly ridiculous as a man so much in love as notto be able to conceal it from the rest of the company—not only is he ridiculous, but in time he gets to bea regular nuisance, and is as impertinent and tire-some as he was at first laughable. He is alwayseither extremely happy or wonderfully wretched,without any apparent cause. This class of loverswho would give their fortune for a curl of their mis-tress's hair, or a piece of her shoe-string, generallymake the worst husbands in the world.

EPPECTS OF INDUSTRY .—All the performers ofhuman art, at which we look with praise or wonder,are instances of the resistless force of perseverance.It is by this that, the quarry becomes a pyramid,and that distant countries are united with canals.—If a man were to compare the single stroke of apickaxe, or of one impression with the spade, withthe general design and last result, he would be over-whelmed with the sense of their disproportion, yetthose petty operations incessantly continued, in timesurmount the greatest difficulties, and mountains arelevelled and oceans bounded by the slender force ofhuman beings. 1

ELASTICITY OP THE MIND.—There is an elasticityin the human mind capable of bearing much, butwhich will not show itself until a certain weight ofaffliction be put upon it; its powers may be com-pared to those vehicles whose springs are so contrivedthat they get on smoothly enough when loaded, butjolt confoundedly when they have nothing to bear.

liie superficial often applaud vanity and weaknesswhen they fancy they are admiring and approvingvirtue.

Following virtue is like ascending an eminence ;Eursuing vice is like rushing down a steep precipice.

Chinese proverb.]LOVE—The editor of an American paper makes

Believing that its 'publica-tion will do good, and in its' ultimate") consequencestend strongly to perpetuate and humanise, that unionwhich patriots so reverence^ we give it a place in burcolumns. It is dated Richmond, Thursday, March3, 18537-

Since I left New York I have seen Che original De-claration of Independence, and I have, seen it, 'il-lustrated' herein this place. Oh, my God I Oh, Oh,my country 1 ; • .

I have been an eye witness thi3 morning to scenessuch as never have been described, and never can.You and I have been told by the dough faces of thenorth that the evils of slavery are exaggerated, butthey have not been half told, and I have neither theability nor the heart to describe the scenes I havethis moment-come from Witnessing.

I have spent two hours at the public sale of slaves.There are four of them, and all in the same street,not more than two blocks from the Exchange Hotel,where we are staying. These slave depots are in oneof the frequented streets of the place, and the salesconducted in the building on the first floor, and with-in view of the passers by. There are small screensbehind in which the women of mature years are takenfor inspection ; but the men and boys are publiclyexamined in' the open store, before an audience offull one hundred. These examinations are carriedon by various persons interested, and arc enough toshock the feelings of the most hardened. Youreally cannot conceive that men in human formcould conduct themselves so brutally ; each scar ormark is dwelt upon with minuteness—its cause, itsage, its general effect upon the health, &c, are ques-tions asked and readily answered. I saw fully 20men stripped this morning, and not more than threeor four of them had what they termed 'clean backs,'and some of them—I should think one quarter" ofthem—were scarred with the whip to such an extentas to present a frightful appearance ; one in particu-lar was so cut that I am sure you could not lay yourfinger on any part of his back without coining incontact with a scar. These scars are from the whip,and were from two inches to one foot in length.These marks damaged the sale ; although only about45 to 50 years old, he only brought 460 dols ; butfor these mnrks he would have brought 750 dols to800 dols.

I saw several children sold, the girls brought thehighest price. Girls from 22 to 18 years old broughtfrom 500 dols to 800 dols.

I must say that the slaves did not display as muchfeeling as I had expected, as a general thing—butthere was one noble exception—God bless her ! andsave her too 1 1 as I hope he will in some way, for ifhe does not interpose, there were no men there thatwould.

She was a fine looking woman, about twenty-fiveyears old, with 3 beautiful children. Her childrenas well as herself were neatly dressed. She attractedmy attention at once on entering the room, and Itook my stand near her to learn ner answers to thevarious questions put to her by the traders. One ofthese traders asked her what was the matter with hereyes 1 Wiping away the tears, she replied, ' Is'pose I have been crying.' ' Why do you cry V' Because I have left my man behind, and his masterwon't let him.come along.' ' Oh, if I buy you, Iwill furnish you with a better husband, or man asyou call him, than your old one.' ' I don't wantany better, and won't have any other, as long as helives.' ' Oh, but you will though, if I buy you.'' No massa, God helping me I never will. '

Did Mrs. Stowe exaggerate the spirit in the slave ?No, no. I saw Cassie 's character in this womanfully and fairly striking out. Her answers to otherinquiries put by another man were quite as 'liberty-loving' as these indicated. The most indecent ques-tions were put to her, all of which after a little hesi-tation, she answered.

But when asked if she thought she could turn outa child in a year, she replied, ' No massa, I neverhave any more, and sorry I got these.'

Just before she was put up I left the room, for Iam sure I could not have stood the scene, and Ishould have betrayed myself.

WORKHOUSE GIRLS.The public attention requires to be called to the

friendless state of the poor girls who have left or areabout to leave the workhouse, in order to supportthemselves by employment at the sewed muslin trade.Small sums of money are advanced to them by theemployers—afew shillings each, which barely supportnature until next pay day. Their supply of clothesfor daily use is very light, and some of them areobliged to spend the night . in old rooms, withoutbeds or bedclothes. They have no home—many ofthem no parent or even friend, save only such aspity and charity create. The Brothers of St. Vincent,and the Sisters of Charity, have already enough todo. But are there no other humane persons inWaterford to cherish and protect our poor Christiansisters 1

It requires only one active, earnest person to doall that is wanting—to collect a few pounds and hiresome cheap rooms for these poor children of want,and to place a discreet woman in care of the entire.The expense won't be permanent, for they will soonbe able to support themselves decently. How manypious persons spend hours in prayer to Jesus Christ,while He is soliciting their aia in the persons of thesefriendless orphans F How many spend as muchon frivolous amusements as would save them fromdestruction ? Is there no Mrs. Chisholem in theCatholic city of Waterford ? Assuredly there is,and many of them, if they only would imitate hernoble example. VINCENT.

NATIONAL EXHIBITIONNo—there can be no mistake about. It has in it

all the components of success, and succeedit will in spite of all the " Black Prophets"that predicted its failure. The building is all butcompleted, and an elegant stricture it is—a standingmonument of what Irish genius can execute. It issituated in the most elegant part of the entire metro-polis, in the midst of all the fashion and gaiety of thecity. Looking at it from a distance, it certainly ap-pears a phenomenon of art. Its lofty pillars, andarches, and domes, and colonnades remind onerather of the fairy palaces that formed the wonder-ment of our earlier days, than a human structurethat stands out in undreamed elegance, andundoubtedverity before us. When the mere shell of the build-ing is so elegant, we can well fancy what a sight itwill be, when its galleries will be filled with paintingand statuary and all the CHEF D 'AUVRES of the loom,and the brush, and pencil—with the most glowingforms that the Titians of the 19 th century can oon-ceive and execute, with the curiosities of art, and allthat England and the Continent can produce.—Cor-respondent of the " Wexford Guardian.";

WM. KEOGH ON THE HUSTINGSThe petition of Mr. Lawes against Mr. Keogh

has been decided, and in a few days the arch traitorwill stand on the hustings of Athlone. The electorsof that borough may feel assured that the eyes of allIrishmen will be fixed upon them. A question ofthe greatest moment will be soon committed to theirdecision, and of little less magnitude than Iheir an-cestors, more than a century ago, were asked to de-cide by the sword. The Irish patriot of yesterdayand the traitor of to-day, will ask them to returnhim to parliament He has deserted the party hesolemnly promised to stand by. He has betrayedthe Tenant League, and bartered for place the solemnpledge he made at the Conference. If the electorsof Athlone make this man their choice, they willearn eternal infamy.—[Dundalk Democrat.]

AUSTRALIA—WHO SHOULD EMIGRATEA friend has furnished us with the following scale

of prices of several articles of food in the Land ofGold :—Potatoes, 6d. per lb. Turkeys, 15s. each.Bread, 4lb loaf, Is 2d. Fowls, very dear.Beef & Mutton 4d per lb. Eggs. 5s 6d per dozen.Geese, 20s each. Tea & sugar very cheap.

And he adds—" Some realise fortunes at once,others lose all that they possess. Hardworking peo-ple are the most fortunate. The most indolent mancould feel energy to work here. Mechanics andlabourers could become rich, but the man of educa-tion has no business in Australia, unless he has capi-tal for which a liberal interest, say 4 per cent., ischeerfully paid. No place better for investingmoney than in this rising country.—" Wexfori*Guardlnn." ¦':. .. .. -i

WHITE BKLQIAN CARROTS;—Mr. Edward Smith'of Isabel Mead, Harbledown, near Canterbury >favoured the Council of the Royal Agricultural So-ciety of England with the following account of: hiscultivation of the white Belgian carrot :—" I beg tooffer you a few remarks on the cultivation of the whiteBelgian carrot, and the system I have followed forseveral years in Wales, upon a poor, stony, shallowsoil, scarcely six inches deep. -I plough the landearly after harvest, either wheat, barley, or oat stub-ble, and in November, if dry weather, balk or ridgeup the land, to remain for the winter. About themiddle of April, if the ground will work well, harrowand pick off all the couch or grass, and again strikeout the furrows from 20 to 30 inches apart, and haulor cart in the balks about 20 loads of dung, andcover in the same as for turnips. I have found thisplan answer so well that I have adopted it in prefer-ence to the usual way of putting the dung on eitherin the autumn or spring, and ploughing it in, andhave always found the carrots free from scab, andquite straight, and have had better crops. Uponthe ridge I draw with a small hoe a shallow furrow,and sow the seed by hand, with a tin two feet deep,made like a funnel. . I have had a much better plantby sowing by hand, which amply pays for the extraexpense. The seed is then covered in by a boy fal-lowing with a rake.- I find from the middle of Apriluntil the first week in May the best time for sowingthe seed. I do not approve of the early sowing, asthe young plants are to be cut off by the spring frost,and much stunted and injured, and never appearsto thrive so well after. I find about 41bs. of seedsufficient for an acre, and I wet the seed a weekbefore sowing, mixed with a little sand. As soon asthe carrots appear above the ground, so as to be seenin the rows, I taKe advantage of dry weather to hoebetween the drills, to give air to the plants. Whenthe carrots come out into sesond leaf, and to beclearly seen from the weeds, I have boys to pull theweeds in the rows by hand twice before I thin anyof the carrots, as it gives an opportunity of seeingwhere they should be left. I leave the carrots about4 or 5 inches apart, and never allow the hoe betweenthe plants as they can be much better done by hand,without injury. . I do not use the horse-hoe until thecarrots get up strong, as the earth is apt to fall uponthe crown. I found by taking the earth from thecarrots when they are about half-grown, they havebeen much larger. I usually commence digging theroots about the middle of Nov., and 1 lay them inlumps about 40 bushels on the field, or cart them offinto claps, and put a good covering of straw first,and well thatched afterwards. I find they are bet-ter left without earth,, unless in very sharp frost. Ihave had the white carrot keep in this way up to themiddle of May, and have been kept quite sound andas good as when first put in, which is a great advan-tage in the spring for sheep and other stock, when theSwede turnip is not so good late in the season. Ithink the white carrot might be grown with muchsuccess on many soils, in addition to the Swede, asthere is sometimes a failure in one where there maynot be in the other."—" Farmer's Gazette."

LOW WAGES OF A MISSIONER.A Protestant missioner in Indiana tells a few of

his troubles to some sympathising editor :••—" We live (wife ana children) on less than 200dols

per annum, including horse keeping and travellingexpenses, and my travelling hi a year is not less thanthree thousand miles. I have to go to a neighbour-ing wood and fell down trees, chop them into ten ortwelve feet logs; hitch my horse to them, drag themto the house, chop, saw, and split', them for stovefuel, and then after preaching two sermons a week,riding most weeks .fifty or sixty miles, teaching Sab-bath school, riding three miles to post offi ce andstore, &c—even then I am accused by my brethrenof doing nothing but riding about and reading mybooks, and told that I might work a little, and earnpart of my living."

A PUZZLE.—We recommend this original riddleI to the careful consideration of those of

FY our readers who think it means them.OUO By a careful and continued application

WEFO for a time it may be solved ; and we can-RYOUR not but think when solved, a very greatPAPE length of time will elapse before the bene-RPA fit of this solution will be felt in a formYU that we can readily appreciate. This con-P elusion, however, may be problematic,

but shall anxiously await its determination, trustingthat it may be in our favour. If it is yet an enigma,please read it again.

I will have you to know that my intention andfirm will is to maintain religious liberty. The em-pire of the law ends where the unbounded empire ofconscience begins. The law can do nothing againstthat liberty. Such are my principles and those ofthe nation ; and if any one of my family, succeedingto me, were to forget the oath I take, and,,misled byfalse conscience, were to violate it, I . allow you togive him the name of Nero.—" Napoleon Bonaparte."

LADY VERSUS WIFE.The editor of an American journal, in speaking on

this subject, says :— • - .- -A" We wish the democratic papers would cail Mn

Pierce the wife of the President instead of hUlsaViThey are legally married, and she is entitled to thaname of wife. Besides, it shocks all our ideai qjmorality to hear it told that the president oftJuUnited States is travelling around so much wiih uiother woman than his wife. If any of the democr*tic papers labour under the impression that the titljof wife is not grand enough, we can assure them thtjBlackwood's magazine, which is a high aristocraticauthority, has fully endorsed it, in a long and-exctllent article. ' '.:

" An anecdote is told of a Scotch shopkeeper,who declined some request made by a customer,-.Do you know, says the customer, that I am tinBishop's lady ? Hoot, woman, was the answer,'!would not do it if ye was his wife, much lets lotlady. Lady is a beautiful word in its place, btdeither of them employed for wife or woman it isshocking taste. • i1
