Mr. R yan , very hu-manel y, directed his house-keeper to take care of the" illus trious little stranger" i'or the night , and on the fol-lowing day he informed the poor-house officers of thedesertion and whereabouts of his infant guest, hut thegentlemen of the poor-house refused to take charge of thechil d , no doubt believing that he was in "safe keeping."—Jlr . H\an next applied to the police au thorities , and they<ilso declined taking the little stranger into custody, ushe was not a rebel or a vagrant ,"-—so between the poor-house gentlemen and the public functionaries , Mr. Ryanis subj ected to the very great annoyance of " fathering ar liil d that is none of his own.

The poor-law collectors are forced to he driving, im-pounding, and canting the farmers ' cattle for the rates.—The landlords feel the same necessity, and are acting verybriskl y on the liko princi ple , to screw their rents.

DISCUSSION SOCIETY.On Tuesday evening the adj ourned debate on Mr. John

r.l:i K ( 's motion , touching " Ci\ i l iza t ion ," took place inthe Council Chamber , Town-Hall , before a large andrespectable audience.

.Mr. Wake addressed flic meeting at considerablelength princi pall y in refutalior 'of the arguments of theuiii 'iTcut sneakers who discussed the question on thatr :i ;,'|[i week. We mu<t do Mr. Make the justice ot say-ing that , in his admirable address , he exhibited a greatkn owled ge of the history , manners , and customs of va-j iiiii < countries. Mr. B.\s arguments were very con-\ lacin g.

Mr. Jo.sfp h Ambrose followed i'i a very pleasing:«]>roch. He showed that the art of printing and thetin 1 l i ixuvc ry of steam were part of the works of moderntiviH / .a l ion, Jfcc.

31 r. W illiams and .Ai r. Clarke then spoke : but it ap-peared to us that Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Kevins were theonl y speakers who made any impression on the solid.- I n i c t n i e raised by Mr. Make.

The utmost good humour prevailed throug hout theiii:-cussion.

" EXTRA. OIIDIN 'AUY ATTACK LTOX A R A TI-WAYTKATN .—A few mornings ago (says the Br.nckk Adv er-tiser) as the mail train upon the Newcastle and Berwickrailway was proceeded north , artd when near the Cram-lingto n station a party of horned owls, being disturbedin their roost by the nobc, made a furious attack on theeng ine and tho^e in charge of it. Thn fireman, WilliamGilbert , while seated in a comfortable position on theflyin g locomotive, was furiousl y assailed , and before hecould discover the character of the foe, was seriousl ypecked in the face , and had one of his teeth forced outof its place. Such an assau't, and at such a place andduring the dark, was rather alarming, especially consider-ing the extraordinary visage of the assailants when scononly by the glare of the fire. One of the birds was cap-tured , and a sturd y fellow h' is ; the engine-driver , Ed-ward Collins, is preserving him us a curiosity.

" For their information 1 can tellthem thai its circulation is ncrrl y ?u? great as that of '.hejoui .ifl they so infamously suppressed , and they knowwe]! that one enemy in America is more formidable totheiv commerc e and their misri'i c than ten in Irelnd.We have the long end of the lever here.

Ji si t wh y write- such a letter at such a iimc ? Listen :When I arrived at tho Unitcp Slates I saw cvere Ir-

ishman 's h.-?ad hang ing- (low .i w ith shame, a sneer onevej y Saxon 's li p, a pi t \ ing, cold contcm]H in cvci y freeRepublican 's manner. SKevcmtrnon was cr "cd y'ieve-giimmou —it was the popu lar synonj .ne for every otherhumbug. 1 found that men in the Highest positionhad been induced to place themselves in the position ofIrish sympathisers—jud ges, senators , merchants, &c.bad been drawn out on the side of Ireland—n il had p*-rayed themselves anamst hnghmd. As their hopes badbeen hi gh nr.d llieir woids .sr.Mj -uine, so their vexationand disgust were intense. I w aite this letter—it was]>riuted in cvciy newspaper i'i the v»'on , and tho Irishname was restored to some degree of Americvi sym-pathy.

I wanted tn show that the people (>f Ireland wore notutleih r degenerate. NTow , there was onl y one way tosave them , and that was to take ground that a strongnative influence was emp loyed to hold them back, itook that ground ; I said the Catholic Clerg y have cau-sed " the non-com.Aienccmcnt of the Irish Revolution ;"and I def y any man to deny the truth of that. I havein my possession data enough to put it beyond all ques-tion, but I would rather not publssh ii , It is neithermy object nor my wish to make a case agains the clergy.T have mndo a case for Ireland. f;nd I nm satisfied. Istand by my work without regret or shame.

l'lio Dublin Packet accuses me of deserting tho Irishpolicy of Da\ is and Dully ; I do not. Their means wereeducational ; so were mine. Their policy was construc-•ivc ; so: is mine. They sc.vcd all Ireland ; I enlargethe field of labour ' and sei i'C the Irish race, whether inthe island of Ireland or out of it—whatever creed oramde , or calluig thev may be.

One feature , indeed , I have added—that is, the Ame-rican . Years ago in the Boston paper 1 then wrote foi ,I (Icclaiccl the hope of Ireland to he the growth ofAmerica1. I showed that the map of this country wasdestined! to embrace all the northern continent , and that(he Republic would put its arm round the Isthmus be-fore many years. O'Connell made a declaration ofminn. " That the Atlantic would becoma the battlefield of oppo sing politics , in the conflict of which Ire-land would get her own ," a clause in his indictmentaoftho old N ation. Two years ago I pointed out in thesame jour nal that Ireland was the best commercial depotfor America on. the const of the Atlantic , and I never

lost an opportunity of explaining American charactctand a cordial understanding with this great Republic,The address to Mr. Dallas—the only national acknow-ledgment of American aid in the famine years—and theDublin address to Captain Forbes, were both my work .If that course of policy makes me a " Red Republican ,"1 am as red as red-hot iron , and not at all likely tocool. With this addition , the policy of this Nation isprecisely the same as that famous journal whose name ithas assumed.

'So far, friends in Ireland, I have felt bound to you ,myself, and the trnth to explain. I will go no fartherat present. But I propose to address you a public let-ter through this paper , by every mail that leaves theseshores for yours ; and I will endeavour , in that scries totell you something of what a republic is what it is worth ,how it can be come by, the duties of citizena , and otherinformation necessary for you to know, whether you areto live in Ireland or emigrate here.—Meanwhile I ha vethe honor to be, your sincere friend , T.'D.

Mr. Clarke wishod to bring public op inion to bear uponthe question. There were oii l y o'.- M tow .i.; in Irelandwhere Hi. '.is 'icrs ' Money was paid ; and tho: ;c- townswere in the Sontli—iha most impoveri shed part of Ire-land, lie pronounced the tax to be a grievous impost ,and said that even the clergy of the establishment them-selves were ashamed of it . He submitted that a petitionfrom each ward, in addition to that from the council ,ought be prepared.

Mr. Jacob said that a petition should come iVom theCorporation as a bod y.

Mr. Clarke—W & should bring this foul impost to anend as soon as possible.

His Worshi p said he felt great pleasure in pu t ting llu:resolution , " That a committee be appointed iVom thinbod y to prepare a petition to parliament for the abolitionof Ministers ' Money. "

• Mr. Cox proposed that the committee be composed ofseven instead of five. Passed.

FISH MAKK KT.The ; Mayor read a petition from the fish-vendei 's pray -

ing that a suitable and centi al place be provided for themto sell their fish, as they cai.not dispose of it as they arcat present situated.

The Mayor said: that a proper place ought to be pro-vided for them.

Mr. O'Reill y thought that the vacan t space oppositethe Orp han House, if shedded in , would answer.

Mr. Cox was of op inion that the market should be allin one place as in other towns ; he would suggest thatthey might sell in the open Square.

The Mayor said the Square was perfectl y crowded , andwas without room.

Mr. Carrick—Take Mr. Duggan's yard for sixmonths.

The Mayor said they had no means of cleansing thatyard.

After some discussion , which was impossible to gleanfrom the noise consequent on several members speakingtogether, the matter was then referred to the generalcommittee.

It -vas then proposed and seconded that £5S3 10s Mbe paid out of the corporate funds for various purposes.

WATER.Mr. Woods brought forward shis subject , and re-

marked that his object in bring ing forward the motionwas—first , to procure free water for the poor , and se-condly, to obtt'iu che ap water for the householders.—Mr. W. then read some extracts from the Report of theHcaith of Towns ' Association , and then referred to thegas that accumulates about water-pipes. He said thatMr. Graham derives an income of .£225 a year over allexpenses ; for which he wil l submit his books.

Mr. Finnigan said that when houses were more full yoccupied he made £280 a-year.

Mr. Woods—Mr. Graham offers his lease for £800 ;Mr. Woods then complained of the water in severalof the city fountains, including the Square fountain ,which, he said, possessed a hateful smell. He canclu-ded by impressing on the Council the necessity of pro-curing good and wholesome water for the citizens gratui-tously.

Mr. Carrick—What are the gross receipts of the re-venue for water here ?

Mr. Woods—About £450 a-year.ADVERTISING " TJIE NEWS. "

WATERFORD MECHANICS' INSTIT UTEOn last evening a meeting of the members and friends

of thc above institute was held in the Music-Room oftho Town-Hal l for the purpose of receiving the reportof the Directors, to elect a President , Vice-Prcsidents ,Board of Managem ent, &c., &c.

Those prcsent were :—James Kent , Esq., Mayor ;Rev. Mr. Kertland , Drs. Palmer and Conclcll, Messrs.Joseph Ambrose , (solicitor) , David Keogh , M O'Con-nell, Henry Brownrigg, T.C., James Thornton , John G.Davis, (Secietary),Robert M'Clelland ,. John Hudson , T.Clarke , T.C., C. Campbell, Lawson, Whitney, EdwardWilliams, &c, Sec.

Dr. Condcll moved that the Mayor do take cnair.—Passed. The Right Worshi pful thc MAYORthen took the chair , when he returned thanks for thohonour conferred on him, and said he felt sincere pleasurein presiding over tl.atmeeting. Ho then spoke of themany great benefits arising from, that Institute , and saidhe hoped it would not only continue to receive the sup-port which it has always met with , but that it might in-crease tenfold.

The Secretary read the Report of the Directors , anda statement o^ the income and exjj enditurc of thc In-stitute , which showed there was a balancs of 13s. <k\.due thereon.

The Rev. Mr . Kertland moved " that the report andstatenvnt of accounts now read be adopted ,and printedfor circulation amongst thc subscribers ," which was se-conded by Mr. M'Clelland , and passed.

Thc next resolution was proposed by Mr. J. Hudson ,which was " that thc thanks of the meeting be givento Thomas Meagher, Esq., M.P., for the great interesthe has always evinced in promoting the iiscfulncss ofthc Institute , and that he be elected President for theonsuing year." * Mr. Hudson thought it was useless tospeak of the very great assistance Mr. Meagher hadgiven to that Institute. Although he had , at the open-ing of the Institute , given £10, which constitute him amember for life without paying any more , still , when-ever there was a subscription made for thc Institute, healways munificently subscribed. He (Mr. II.) had greatpleasure in moving that resolution.

The resolution was seconded by Mr.M'Clclland , armpassed nnanimously.

The Mayor, John Mackcsy , M.D., Henry White ,and Edward Williams were then elected Vice-Presi-dents .

Mr. Thom.as Clarke proposed a vote of thanks to Ben-jamin Graham , Esq., for his efficient services, as Trea-surer,, during the past year, and that he be requested toact for the ensuing year. Passed.

Mr. Whitney said the next resolution was put into hishands to propose, which, was, that a vote of thanks begiven to thc retiring B"oard of Directors, for their inde-fatigable exertions during the past year. He said hewas placed in an awkward position, as he was one of theretiring board himself. He said he flattered himsclithat there was a little credit due to him , for he was oneof thc originators of thc I nstitute ; it was commencedin his drawing room by aj few friends—i t was then mov-ed toQuay-lane to rather an obscure place ,aiixl frora , tha .tto thc Mall.

The Mayor was about putting thc resolution , whciMr. Ambrose sa d he thought it would be letter if sonnperson besides Mr. Whitney proposed that resolution , a:he happened to be one of thc retiring board.

After some further discussion ,Dr. Palmer proposed the resolution , and Mr.- (-:

Cdii.pbell seconded it. Passed.A vote of thanks was then proposed to Mr. Juhu ( f

Davis for his long term of most efficient services , an<for his arduous attention to the best interests of thc Institute.

Mr. Davis returned thanks.The following were then elected to form thc 15oard of

Directors for 1849 :—Messrs. William Bealc Jacob/I' .C,Thomas Clarke, T.C., H. Brownri gg, T.C., H. Whit-ney, David Kcogh , J. Ambrose, John Hudson , J. Pal-mer, C. Campbell , James Thornton , R. M'Ck-lland, J.W. Condell , B. Graham , j..r.. , John Blake, Robert A.Carleton, T. Purcell, T.C., Counsellor S. V. Peet, andHugh N. Nevins.

A resolution was then passed , that Thomas SmithHarvey, and Wm. Lawson, Esqrs., be requested to actas auditors for this year .

Mr. David Keogh moved , and Mr.Whitney seconded ,that the Mayor do leave thc chair , and Mr. ' T. Clarkebe called thereto.

^ A vote of thanks was then passed to the Mayor , for

his dignified conduct in the chair , and for his kindnessin consenting to preside on that occasion ,after which thcmeeting separated.

On yesterday, in the Dublin Commission Court , Mr.DufiVwns iirain placed at the bar.

Tlieir Lordshi ps having on Saturday last announcedthat they would deliver jud gment to-day, the court wasvery crowded ,

Mr , Justice Perrin proceeded to deliver the jud gmen tuf the court. He said—The court have already pro-nounced j udgment on the demurrer in this case, thedlect of which was, that the demurrer to the first count;»nd to the third should be overruled ; and the demuircr!o nil the overt acts in the other counts—of course spe-,/ilvi ,.^ ther .i—except the first , should be allowed. Butas 'to thc residue of the counts , respectively, the de-murrer to be overruled . At the desire of the prisonerwe shall allow him to plead over to the felony ; andnow , clerk of the crown. a*k him whether he is guilty ornot guilty ?

Mr. Duffy, in a firm and audible voice, pleaded not

.ludi^ e Pen-in—We shall now adjo urn the commissionlo the ( ith of February .

The Attorney-General said that the prisoner hadserved a notice "to be tried now or be discharged underI he haoeas corpus ; ct.

Jud-e Perrin—That can't apply to a case of this sort ,:,* •ihe'delay Fas occotioncd by the prisoner himself.

Sir C. O;Lo£hIcn--\Vc have mode an application toIn.1 tried my lorJ.

.Jud ge Perrin—In ordinal y eases we should have con-sidered it.

.Sir C. O'Loghlen—Perhaps your lordships would al-luw the app lication to be heard before you in chamber ?

Judge Pevrin—\Ye can't make any order about it.ISir Culnian—W e submit that we are entitled to be

discharged now ?Jud ge Perrin—Not upon the facts of the ease.Sir Colemsm—Under the act of parl iament—the delay

in this case has been the act of the crown.Judge Perrin denied it , and said they s" oulrlconsider

the possibility of having a jury and the convenience ofjurors .

Sir Colman—But we have a statutable right , and ifyour loidshi i s wcu!d consent to sit in chamber, say to-morrow, we would be prepared to maintain it.

P>a :oi Richards—I assure you , Sir Colman , if wewere to be the judges to try this case we would not pro-bablv take it up before tli w day to which the court willbe adjourn ed.

Sir Colmar.—Then I suppose the other indictment isnow quashed.

Jml -< > Pen-in—Oh , yes, we have taken care of that. <Mr 'o'lln-'aii—The "prisoner wUhi'S to state to your lordships

.lud.'i- lVrriii— It is not usual when the full court, is Bitting.Mr "Duffy— My lords, I must state that tho delay has arrison

from the court postponing longer than was necessary the Jccis-i.m upon various questions, and that I ought not to be deprived»f IHV rijr l.t by reason of delays which I did not create. I amr.suly for- my trial now, or 1 am prepared to make such a casefor admission to bail as I think would be irresistible. This in-jury will come to me. which I presume can 't be contemplated,tha t my prospects will be ruined if 1 am '.not allowcdto get outon hail to control and manage my own affairs. If the court willsit a^ain to-morrow, I will be prepared to sustain what I harebtat« 'd by afliilavits.

Tho j udges made no reply, but proceeded to lo;>ve the bench,and the CU-rk of the Crown declared the commission to be ad-journed to Tuesday, the Gth of 1'ebruary, at cloven o'clock.

A body of 2,000 paupers , forced open the gate of theKilmalloc k Workhouse, while the Guardians were sittingon Thursday, and it is likel y would have taken poshes-MOIX of the building, had they not been resisted by theinmates.

London, Jan . 15, 1849.GISNTLTSMEX —I most entirel y and earnestly disclaim

any wilfu l misrepresentations or insults in your regard,and respectfull y, but equally earnestl y, deny that an al-lusion to the unhappy events of last summer (witb theview of disconnecting tbe great body of Repealers fromthem ; and thus of rebutting the accusations of the En-glish press, which is endeavouring to work up the En-glish publie mind to crush all popular efforts in Ireland)ought to bo construed into a personal attack.

I am quite sure that you would not, yonrselves, de-sire that Ireland should be quiescent. And , about, asshe is, to appeal to Europe and to the world against theoppressions and miseries so ruthlessly inflicted uponher, it did appear to me imperativel y necessary at thevery outs-.t, to meet the attacks of the English press, bythe species of protect which I embodied in my letter ofthe 1st of this month.

For the persona) offence I may have given in dis-charging what I believed to be an inevitable , while amost painful duty, I express , a3 indeed I feel , the deepestsorrow.

You will I suppose, treat this expression with the samecontempt with which you have treated what you eall myaffectation of pity. I submisivcl y accept all the scornwith which you are disposed to visit me, and all the at-tacks of others on the same account, as some means ofatonement for offenca given involuntaril y, and as I saidbefore, in the discharge of what I considered an impcra-tivc and inevitable duty.

You are safe from that intervention on my part whichyon so earnestly deprecate. I am far too obnoxious totbe ministrs, and to English parties generally, to thinkof damaging you by taking any lead in such a move-ment. If it be originated it shall have my support.

;< >u! art lias rarely been witnessed . livery department»f literary activity, with the exception of newspapersand political pamphlets, was completely suspended. Iveril y believe thnl not a score works of any literary pre-tentious were brought out during the year. Even thepublic ation of novels—things so essential to a frivolouspeople like the French—was at an end. And the sameits! blight extended to every branch of science and c\rery• v 'ci '" " - *branch uf art , and appeared to have annihilated them for>:\er. l'lic pecunia ry lo^s, in a mere mercantile point•of view, which til l this occasioned to the community athwy;c Is incalculable ; but it is chiefly for its lamentablec t i'ect on authors , artists , and men of science, that it isto be lamented. Those poor fellows were literall yui'iied. With nothing but their talents to live by, mi-sery came ui them when the demand for their talentsoc.ised. And this misery, stern and teriblc, drove someto .'suicide—some to the hospital—some to beggary inthc s'.rccls—some to the ranks of the arn y and the gardemobile—some to di g earth in the national workshops—and some, this is , ulas ! too true—to die of hunger.—Literary Gazette.

POLICE OFFICE—MONDAY

Before Thomas Mcaghcr, Esq. M.P., Mr. Tabitenu ,and Sir B. Morris.

A workhouse pauper was indicted for stealing coal sfrom tkc poor house, when

Mr. Tabitcau severely reprimanded him for stealingproperty from a house in which he was supported.

A >-OY!2I. OCCUPATI ON.A very poor looking man names M'Evoy was brought

before their worshi ps for having been found walkingabout the streets at one o'clock in tlio morning.

Mr. Tabitcau asked him what was he, where did hecome, frnm , and had he any settled place of residence ?

The prisoner said he had no settled place of residencethat he was a labourer , ami was in the hr.bit oi rawlingabout the worl d !

Me was remanded for further examination .K0HUK11Y,

Five young men , "rakish" looking fellows, wereplaced at the bar for examination , charged with robbingBrawder's house (us noticed in our last) , Mrs. Crosby 's(Barrack-street) , and a variety of other houses.

One of the party, named Dower, a young journeym answeep (who said served his time in Cariick) turned tq>-prover.

Dower, in his examination , gave a long account ofthe adventures of himself and his worth y colleagues.He stated that they visited Brawders ' house , that oneof the party got down the chimney, that they stole breadand butter out of the house, that they then went toCrosby's, that he went in through the window, that theyrobbed the shop of whiskey and brand y, that they drankthe whiskey, eat (he bread and butter ; and , -after tra-versing a great portion of the city , to and from thelime kilns , were ultimately arrested by Constable iioia.ii&c.

It appeared from I he suitenient; of the young sw eepthat he look oil" his eh irl and made a bog of it in orderto carry a portion of the produce of the night 's robbery.

Two of them were then discharged (not havin g beenseen with the others (ant! the remainder was held incustod y for further i'M-ciligation.

A case of clothe?, stealing, Lz . were then disposed ofwhich terminated the business.

IMMEN SE PH0DUCE—THE UNITED STATES.In one instance I stood on a high hed ge o:i tho prai -

rie sido of a field , containing an immense crap of Indiancorn, the stalks of which were at the time from eightto eleven foot high, independent of the cob.- ;'(< ;• seedvessels1. That field v. as lull one thousand acres in ox-tent , without one intervening fence or ditch. In thisStato the Wheat crop and the Indian corn crops wera•¦sometimes so abundant that the plant '.-rsAvould notknow what to do with them , were it not f-j r the im-mense quantities of hogs they feed. Those animalswere put into a field of corn , and were suffered to feedon portions of it at a time until the whole was con-sumed. The .corn did not sometimes pay for cuttingand sending to market , and the only u.-e they couldmukc of it was to feed hogs. As an instance of the fer-tility of some of the central states-, he mi ;/h'c mentionthat in a recent statistical return laid before tho Ame-rican Government it was put forward that if the entireof the Stat e of Indiana vrorc cultivated , :'.'• portions ofit were , it would grow corn suilici'j nt >'<JL- ninety mil-lions of people. The soil was, in fact , i.) many casestoo rich f or the ordinary purposes of cultivation. Ihave spoken to gcntlemdh who wore cultivating partsof Illioni s for twenty five years , and during that timethey never put ;ui ounce of manure u;i their ik-lds butcarted the wholu of it into the rivers. -—R CJ .

IRISH ANTIQUITIES.

Mr. Maurice O'Connell communicated the followingaccount of antiquities presented by him to the Museumof the Royal Irish Academy :

"The two bronze battle-axes wore found about theyear 1840, in the bed of the Carhen River, barony ofIvera gh, and county of Kerry, within about two hun-dred yards of Carhen House, the birth place of my fa-ther. By his directions, works were being carried onto change, in some places, and confine in others, thecorns; of the river, with the intention of taking in aconsiderable tract which was overflowed at high water.One place an altered course was taken through a chan-nel between a small " corcass " in the mainland. Inthe centre of this channel stood a large and apparentlysolid! rock , which was used as a sort of stepping-stonein 0crossing into and from the corcass. This it wasnecessary to remove, in order to give a sufficient breadthto the channel . While some of the men were boring theupper part for blasting, a stander-by observed a smallcrevice in the side of the rock, into which he thrust acrow-bar, and , finding that he could move the tipperpart of the rock, which formed a kind of slab, he pointedit out to the other workmen. In a few minutes , by em-ploy ing more crow-bars, they dislodged the upper slab.Underneath , aud in the middle of the bwer portion ofthe rock , a hollow space was found , in the centre where-of was a heap composed partly of ashes, partly of smal lbones ; but arranged in a circle round the heap, withtheir broad edges outwards , were ten or eleven bronzeaxes of various sizes. Those I have presented arc thelargest and most remarkable. The bones generallycrumbled into dust on being touched, but some portionswere in a sufficientl y sound state to bear removal. Myfather had theiC examined by a surgeon , who stated thatthey were uot human bones but those 'of deer. Theashes were human ashes. There is no tradition of anykind which can give a clue to the time or occasion ofplacing of these axes, nor was there even the slightestsuspicion of the existence of the kist in which they werefound, as the rock externall y appeared to be quite solid."—Proceedings of the Roya l Irish Academy.

Dr. Kelly, of Donaghadee, has written , in the Medi-cal Press, an article on the treatment of cholera , inwhich lie recommends a draught of one drop of hydrocy-anic acid , and one drop of creosote , with an ounce ofciuamon water , as a specific that has the effect of imme-diate arresting spasmodic action.

Outchson , the policeman who prevented C. G. Duf-fy 's escape , and whose conduct was a subject of investi-gation ot Enniscoi th y, has been dismisscl the Constabu-lary, but is still , it is supposed , kept up and paid by theCastle authorities , being continuall y seen hovering aboutthe castle.

CUIUOSITIKS oi- THE Ei.KCTRic TiCLEGRAi 'ir.—Canlhat which happens to-morrow be heard of to day ?—Yes ; very well , since the invention of the electric tele-grap h. Thus , the time in Exeter is twenty minutes itis twenty minutes later than the time at London. Atmidni ght in London , it is twenty it is twenty minutesto midni ght , or thereabouts , at Exeter . Now , supposeii baby was born at London five minutes after twelve thismorning, the joy ful intelli gence might have been con-veyed to its friends at Exeter yesterday. How funnil yit would read :—" Mrs. 13. was safely delivered to-mor-row morning of a fine health y girl, the image of itsgrandmother , as infants generally are."

I-'ORTITUDK .—Frederick , the famous Duke of Saxony,was play ing at chess in his tent with his cousin audfollow prisoner , the land grave of Lithenberg , when awrit was bronght him signed by the emperor, for hisexecution the next morning in the sight of his wife andchildren , and the whole city of Wittemburg. Havingcorcfull y perused it he laid it down as a paper of noconcern , and lay ing to the landgrave " cousin , takegood heed to your game ;" returned to his play, andgave him a check-mate. It is a noble character whichAscham gives of the above-mentioned Duke— '• liethinkelh nothing which he dare not speak, and speakethnothing which fie will not do. [That ought to be thepolicy of every man.l

OLD PARLIAMENTS .—About a century ago, membersof parliament , with tlioir families, were well contentedto take warm lod gings in a first or secsud floor , in theStrand or Co vent-garden , from whence the honestcountry gentleman ,'proud to serve those he represented ,trud ged down to Palace yard on foot , at ten o'clock inthe morning, and voted as his conscience directed himwithout fee or reward. At twelve o'clock he went todinner ; returned to the house in about an hour , wen tinto the room nt the back of the Strangers' gallery,called the smoking room , took his pipe, and indul gedhimself for about half an hour more ; then he returnedto business to serve his country without the least viewto his own private advantage ; and the house generall yadjourned abont that hour at which it now commencesbus 'ness. The whole proceedings of parliament fi-nished before Christmas.

Mic. iAKi. Axciiao.—This great genius lived to avery advanced yet very health y old .'ge. " I have seen ,"says Yigcnercz, " this divine old man , at the age ofsixty, 'jhi p off more scales from a hard piece of marble ,in less than a quarter of an hour , than three youngstone cutters could do in three or four hours , a thingimpossible to bo conceived but by one that had seen it.Me worked with so much fury and impetuosity, that Ireali y thought he would have broken the block , ofmarble in pieces—knocking ofF at one stroke grcutpieces of three or four fingers thick , SJ r.c ir the ] oiutsthat lie had fixed , that if he had passed ever so littleover them , he would have been in danger of ruining hiswork , because that cannot be replaced in stone as instucco and in claw "

A SHORT PR .VYKR .—Lord Aslley, be fore he chargedat the battle cf Ed gehill, made this short prayer ; —" 0 Lord, thou knowest how busy I must be this day.If I forget thee, do not thou forge t me !" "Therewere certainl y," says Hume. " much longer prayersmade in the parliamentary army ; but I doubt if therewas so good an one."

A GOOD ADVICE .—Mclanchton (the opponent ofMartin Luther) when he went to the conferences atSpire, in 15*29, made a journey to Bretten to see hismother. The good woman asked him what she roustbelieve, amidst so many disputes, and repeated to himher prayers. " Go on mother ," said he, " to believeand pray as you have done, and never trouble yourselfabout controversies."

The State prisoners, Messrs. Mcaghcr , O'Brien,M'Manus , and O'Donohoc gave a smart reprimand toMr. John O'Ci.nnell for some expressions which hemade use of in his late letter .

Evictions are still progressing, with giant strides; inthe Counties of Limerick , Clare, and Tipperary.

In the hitherto iudependent county of Wexford agreat number of persons haye been lately ejected.

A vessel is preparing to leave Limerick for California ,in a few days.

Report bus it that the Irishmen in California (thoughfew in number) have been as yet the most successful inshovelling out the gold.

A great nnmbcr of printers have left j ^ew Yo:k forCalifornia.

(For The Wutcrford b'cics.jThou wort not there—thou wort not thi -rt

And strange an 1 sad that place to me :Th y lonel y room, th y vacant chair-

Seemed mourning 'mid festivity.I strove to be, yet was not , gpy—Oh 1 could 1 while thou wor. away 1

To all, ilicy gave the welcome kind—I missed thine own , reserved for me;

No face betrayed the kindred mindSo vainl y sought till found in thee.

'Mid song and dance I lonel y sate,For none like me were d solate !

Since last we met how sad!}' changedlias been each nearest , dearest lot—

Some distant far , and sonic estranged,Somu rest beneath the turf , forgot !

And one hath chosen that better part ,Which chills, yet changeless leaves the hear t.

I heard thy praise from ovei y tongue,My heart throbbed silent unto all ,

Yet felt it , like a lute unstrung,Or 'mill the least a funeral pall.

The very sky scorned cold and drear,As if it knew thou wcrt uot there!

I .OVEI) LAND

(For The Wuterjord Xcws.)Loved land , to sorrow doom 'd farewell !

Thy waitings, woes, am' hearts, which weep,"Whose shrieks upon the ni ght-wind swell ,

Mourning where th y dead-onos sleep,Loved Erin » oh, Erin ma Chroo ?

Dark now thy fate, thou hap less isle ;Sick hope's last beam is o'er thee shed ;

Thy song, th y jest , and once bri ght smile,Are hushed in the caio ic for the dead !

Loved Erin ! oh , Erin ma Cliree '.Wild is the cry of thy heart 's despair,

Piercing the shroud that wraps thy skies •Thy fruits , th y flow 'rs, which once bloom 'd there

IS ow droop iu th y valley ,tf sighs '. 'Loved Erin ! oh. Erin ma Cliree !

lull long thy heart hath sorrow borne,The last ray of li ght too hath liedFrom those who are left but to mourn

The loved-oncs vho sleep with the deml !Dear Erin ! oh, Erin ma Clirco !
