rOOR LAW AMENl WUATS —UNIVERSAL HAT ING.

To the Kdifor oi' « The Waicrfonl News."N IK —Your kindness in giving insertion to my last sug-

gestion on the Pooi; Laws in Ireland , lias induced , me totrespass on your columns again.

.Since (ho observati ons I then made—I would say in-voluntary—I have given the subje ct much consider ation ,:ind I am more convinced than ever that nothing will soHie duall y meet the present calamitous distress than uni -versal rating <> i" all matters and things , which can beluadejivailablc , to relieve the destitution of Ireland whichis present and pending.

\\ e have had meetings at the Northumberland , build-ings , and at ,the Mansion-house , to consider , amongstothers, ihe importan t question of the laws at present forI lie relief of the poor in Ireland. They were completel yat sea as to the amendments to be adopted ;—every one ,as I said before , having his own peculiar views , bearingo ii i l ic i r own interests; but all delusive and unsatisfactor y.

The discriminating rate appears to become tlio liivontein most quarters , without for a moment takin g into an ac-count the diff i cul t machiner y it would take to work it.Then another consideration , bow easy it woul d be to con-\crl " jj rass lands " into tillage to evade the law contem-plated to bear on them. The owners need onl y to have aii -w fat oxen to surface plough the lands—fo r thes e well-led animals ni ght as well be doing that as " gaddingain.ui wi th their tails on their backs. " This would notvive. mii e l i emp loyment , i'or the landlords who took suchspeeioi euro (4' their ]>ropert ios ,whi-:i llie Poor-Law Unionswere forming throug h Ireland in 1S-J- 1 and IS-J i.', to be¦i l iotfed in to ( 'is 'ricts , that they had Jess to pay than thesewhich bad no one to attend to them.

have we not numerous instances oi this evil withouti -niniKTating one ? Did not the Assistant Poor-Law Com-.<iii::: ;i "ncr ;> consr.lt—in almost eery instance consult—the!;r. i .Ihird -j mid agents of property before forming the rurald is i i i . t s , and naturally , of course, their interests wereb'.- i.! sacred. T am sure your readers would be astonishedt i. iu .tr of districts very nearl y II or 12 miles in length ,and onl y 1 in width. However , as it should not be theobject of any one to cause pain or shame to the abettorsn!' this system , but to offer the best mode to remed y theabuse , then let us have what wil l equall y bear on all—equalization of rates over all Ireland. Now let us sup-pose thai the re quisite calculation s were made to supportthe poor on the discriminating rate , on grass lands , for aparti cular period , and that the grass lands were cultivatedin evade the law ; how would the deficiency be made up ?Wh y, for one and all , rather make the rating general onnil pn iporlios , and there can be no evasion of liabilities ,mid culicci it by the Ordnance Valuation survey, with nilits faults , than leave it as it is. Let the princi ple be uni-versal , and win ; can be disp leased ? The .system is sim-l de. ( Iciil l eiucn , who took care of themselves in. the for-mation of I ' liions , will not let their interests be ncglcctod.ai a discr iminat in g rate. Verhnm sat.

finperfal litorlfomcnfcLondon, Thursday Night.

This has been a gay and bustling clay in London. Parliament was opened with all the pomp and pageantryinvariably brought to bear on this bril liant ccrcmony.andthe presence of royalty tended in no incon.siderable de-gree to invest the proceedings with even more than usualinterest. When her Majesty arrived at the entrance ofthe House of Peers, the Horse Guard band struck upwhat you call in Ireland " The National Anthem ;" thebells of St. Margaret pealed out noisily, if not melodi-ously or merril y ; the guns on the Thames Battery fireda salute ; and , amid some cheers—not hearty Irish mon-stcr-mccting cheers, however—the Queen of Englandali ghted , and proceeded to the ro'bing-ro om, attendedby the ladies of her Majesty 's household. She was at-tirfid in white satin , laced over with diamonds.

This w as all very gay, and very exciting, but insidethe House of Peers the scene was not one whit less bril-liant , although , of course, there the character of thetout ensemble partook more of calmness and dignity.—Her Majesty, accompanied by all the customary officersand forms of state , entered the House about a quarterpast two o'clock, and ascended the Throne. On her leftstood Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington , thelatter hearing the large sword of state ; and on herright the Earl of Shaftsbury with the purse and seals,and the Marquis of Lansdoune with the crown on acrimson cushion ,

Her Majesty, in a firm and impressive tone, deliveredthe following-

SPEECH." MY LORH S AND GENTLEMEN ,

'* The period being arrived at which the business o/parliament is usually resumed , I have called you to-gether for tbe discharge of your important duties.

" It is satisfactory to me to be able to state thai bothin the north and in the south of Europe the contendingparties have consented to a suspension of arms, for thepurpose of ncgociating terms of peace. Hostilities car-ried on in the island of Sicily were attended with cir-cumstances so revolting that the British and French ad-mirals were impelled , by motives of humanity, to inter-pose, and stop the further effusion of blood. I haveavailed myself of the interval thus obtained to interpose ,in conjunction with France, to the King of Naples—anarrangement calculated to produce a permanent settle-ment of affairs in Sicily. The negociation on these mat-ters is still pending. It has been my anxious endea-vour , in offering my good offices to the various contend-ing powers, to present a. suspension of the calamities ofwar , and to lay the foundat ion for a lasting and honour-able peace.

" It is my constant desire to maintain with all fo-reign States the most friendl y relations- .As soon as theinterests of tbe public service will permit, I shoulddirect the papers connected with these transactions to belaid before you.

" A rebellion of a formidable character has brokenout in the Punjaub , and the Governor General of In-dia has been compelled , for the preservat ion of the peaceof the country, to assemble a considerable force , whichis now engaged in military operations against the insur-gents ; but the tranquillit y of British India has notbeen a ffected bv these unprovoked disturbances.

" I again commend to your attention the restrictionsimposed on commerce by the navigation laws. If youshal l find that these laws are in whole or in part unneces-sary for the maintenance of our maritime power, whilethey fetter trade and industry, you will , no doubt , deemit right to repeal or modif y their provisions .

" G KXT I 'F .MKN OK X I I K HoirsK OK COAIMOXS—" I have directed the estimate s for the service of the

year to be framed with the most anxious attention to awise economy. I he present aspect of affairs has ena-bled me to make large reductions upon the estimates oflast year. ;

" MY Louns Axn GKNTI.KMK .V," I observe with satisfaction that , this portion of the

United King dom has remained tran quil amidst convul-sions which have disturbed so many parts of Europe.The insurrection in Ireland has not been resumed , but aspirit of diiaifection still exists , and I am compelled , tomy great regret , to ask for a continuance , for a limitedtime , of tlmsc powers which in the last session weredeemed ncoe.'-sary I 'ur the preservation of public tranquil -ity. ;

" I have- ::roat sati sfaction in statin? that commerceis reviving firm ihose. shocics , which at the commence-ment of Irt - st session I h;u] to dep lore. The conditionof the manufacturin g districts is likewise more encou-ra 'Ainr.: than it has been for a considerab le period , It isalso ::rati fying to observe that the state of the revenue isone of progressive improvement. I have to lament ,however , ihat auth or failure in the potato crop bancauHod severe distress in some parts of Ireland.

(i Tbe opt rat ion of the laws for the relie f of the poorin Ireland will probabl y be a subject of your inquiry ,and any measure by which these laws may be benefi-ciall y amended , and the condition of the people may beimproved , will rece ive my cordial assent.

" It is w i th pride and thankfulness that I ad vert tothe loyal sp irit of my peop le , and that attachment to ourin st i tut ions which has animated them during a period off-mrtniercial diriic ilty, deficient production of food , andpolitical rcvolut 'o i .

" [ l ;)i )k to the protection of Almi ghty God for favourin our coirimu id progres-- , and I trust that yem will assistme in up holding the fabric of the constitution , founded:i:- it i.: u;> ;> :i llie nriuci p lrs of freedom and justice. "

;' THE A.DDUESSLord'ILvnitY VANK , in rising to move that an ad<lres3 should

bo presented to hor Maj esty, said it was a subject of congratu-lation to all , considering the marvellous inciilents which crowdedin such rap id suecessiou in the space of the yoa r just gone bye,to see that the forbearance, the prudence , and the deep pensc ofresponsibility—perhaps lie might say the mutual amirehen.sionof those at the head of the administration of affairs in Europe—had induced them to use the ir best efforts to preserve Europefrom any further calamity, in addition to those disastrousevents which had occurred.

Sir W. 'SoMimviLLE was read y to grant tin [returns.IRELAND SVSPKNSI OX OF THE llAllEAS CORl 'US ACT.Sir G. GIIEY sold he rose, in pursuance of the notice

he had given last session to ask for leave to bring in abill for the continuance' for a limited period, of the act oflast session for the suspension of the habeas corpus actin Ireland. He was not insensible to those serious ob-jec tions which might , and ought to be entertained , withrespect to a temporary suspension of the constitutionalrights of the people of this realm (hear hear) . He al-luded to t' e letter of Mr. M"Ghce, who took such anactive part in the transaction that had taken place inIreland (hear) . That letter appeared in the Nrto YorkMorning Herald. The right hon. gentleman thon readseveral passages from Mr. M'Ghce 'p letter , and said hewould conclude by moving the continuance of the habeascorpus suspension act for .six months longer.

Mr. JOIIN O'CONNI '.LL ros^e to move as ;iu amendment" That a committoo .consisting of 21 members , befonnedby ballot , to examine such documents as may be laidbefore them ; and to report to this house theiv op inionupon these documents , whether the continuance of thesuspension of the habeas corpus act be a measure to thetranquillity of Ireland at the present time." Let everyIrishman understand this well (said Mr. O'Conncll), thatfor six months they dare not hold meetings in Ireland onany question whatever , but they must first go up, withhat in hand, to the Lord Lieutenant , and ask him , "Isit your gracious will and pleasure to consider that thoobj ect we are going to set about is practicable ?" Mr.O'Connell wen t on to a great length , and concluded bytho amendment.

Mr. MKAOIIER seconded it.

The question having been put , there were loud criesof divide. After the lapse of a short time,

Mr. 1<\ O'C ONNOK rose and supported the amend-ment.

Mr. E. 13. ROCHE said the motto of the Treasurybenches that night fccmed! to be sic volo sicjubeo. Hesupported the amendri ent , as also did Mr. Fagan , andMr. Grattan.

Mr. BOUHKE supported the government.Sir H. W. BABKON affirmed , from personal know-

ledge in the south of Ireland , that the country never wasso tranquil ; that political agitation was at a discount,that its leaders were prostrate, and that the people wereconvinced of the miscliicvous character of the demonstra-tion of last year. Under these circumstances he mustbe a traitor to vote away the rights and liberties of hiscountrymen upon the pretexts set forth, in the LordLieutenant's letter. The hon. baronet then enlargedupon the sufferings and wants of Ireland , and the par-liament's neglect of them, which was gradually alienat-ing her from England.

Air. Moore and' Air. Muntz supported the amend-ment.

Mr. G. THOMPSON opposed the motion , on the groundof the absence of necessity.

Mr. SCULLY moved that the debate bo adjourned.The house then divided , when the numbers were—•

For the motion . .. 221Against it .. .. 18

Majority in favour of the bill .. 203The bill was then read a first time.Mr. ANSTEY'S motion for leave to bring in a bill foi

the further repeal of enactments imposing penaltiesupon Roman Catholics, was lost by a majority of two.

The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS— FEB . 7.HKLIEV OF DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Mr. PLUMPTHE presented a petition from Maidstone,against grants for the aid of Roman Catholic schools.

In reply to a question from Mr. MEAGUER,SirW. SOMEHVILLE said it was in contemplation to

introduce a bill for the registration of births; deaths ,and marriages in Ireland.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE -QUER the house resolved itself into committee upon dis-tress in Ireland.

Mr. SCROIM: moved that an appropriation of moneystaken from general taxation be in future applied in aidof the poor rate of Irish unions.

Mr. CHRISTOPHER said it was unfair to call upon theover-taxed people of this country to maintain the poorof Ireland.

Mr. FRENCH thought the course pursued by theChancellor of the Exchequer was calculated to perpe-tuate a system which was destroying the able-bo diedpoor of Ireland.

Sir J. WALSH considered the proposition of the hon.member ior Stroud utterly impracticable.

Lord E. HOWARD strong ly supported the grant.Mr. H UME lamented the dep lorable state of Ireland ;

but the course proposed to be pursued was calculatedto reduce England and Scotland to t.'ie same UrncnUi -tablc condition.

Mr. STAFFORD was of opinion that Ireland should becomji ellcd to maintain its own poor without mischievousgrants like this , which when expended , would leave thecountry worse olF than it was before.

Sir \V. Somerville said that the grant was actuallynecessary in order to save lives.

Mr. Herbert supported the proposition of the Chan-cellor of the Exchequer, believing that its rejectionwould be a sentence of death to thousands.

Mr. E. B. Roche also supported the motion.Sir G. Grey said the government was asking for this

sum under very different circumstances.Sir James Graham did not agree with the proposi-

tion of the lun. member for Stroud.Mr. Fagan supported the vote.Mr. D'Israeli suggested to the government some other

day for the continuance of the discussion.Lord .John Russell said that a comprehensive measure

would be in readiness , nor could he pledge himself thatthis would be the lust grunt of the kind that wou 'd beasked ior.

The house then resumed , and subsequentl y went intocommittee ofsupp ly, in which a formal vote was taken ,and the house once more resumed.

OUR IRISH MEMBERS.We have now fairly entered upon the bu-

siness ot the session, which promises to botho cramba repctita of former sessions. Ire-land, as usual, is to bo tho princi pal " diffi-culty," and as usual she must remain degra-ded, despised, suspected, and trodden underfoot ! Poor Hibernia was always the mcrofootstool of her amiable sister, Brittania, andwe suppose she must continue so, and bethankful for permission to be so.

"We have one hundred and fiivc repre-sentatives—or ra ther political card-players who leave home only to leara p almistry inDowning-strcet. Sir Robert Walpolo said," every man is venal , if you came up to hisprice." We should like to get a peep at thegraduated scale of Irish venal i ty , hung np^wo presume, over the mantle-piece a" theHome Oflice. It may be said that this is asweep ing charge, and that we are rude andwrong in calling our Irish members a parcel ofpedlars ! Before we admit it, however,wemust ask one simnl o nnoai- i rm T-T«,.~ ~,,..must ask one simple question . Have ourIrish members (particularly since tho de-mise of the late O'Connell) been effective inany one sense of tho word, in any one thingconducive to tho welfare of this oppressed andtrampled country ? Witness the puny, lu-dicrous gathering in Dublin the other day-witness tho cringing,' fawning, gambling con-duct of the majority of our M,I\ son ad! Ve-

rily Dr. Johnson was right when he said, inreference to Jack Wilkcs, that " patriotismwas the last refugo of a scoundreh" Fromthe master of the mint down to our own "dearSir HENRY ," they are all of a piece. Theremay bo a few honest but p owerless menamongst the herd of Irish parliamentarytrustees. They are very few, indeed, andthe fewer the better for the sake of unifor-mity in abandonment ; for Irish representa-tion has become a mere marketable commo-dity in an English market. The matter is asplain as tho snn at noon—but will Irishmen,we repeat/ ever seek a remedy for this cor-ruption of their own creation ? A few cajol-ing speeches at. the hustings we fear -wouldbuy those who deservo to be sold in theirturn .

We are likely to have an election thisyear—Lord Stanley has made up his mindfor it, and he is not a bad oracle. If therebe any spirit amongst the Irish constituerir-cies, for God's sake let it be evoked, andthe brawlers sent about their business : forIreland had better be unrepresented altoge-ther than to have her rights entrusted tothose who leave her only to play at thimblc-rig and trick-of-the-loop on the treasurybenches—and whisper to the present Chan-cellor of the Exchequer, as one of OUR Irishpat riots did to a former one, "that therewould be no livino- in Ireland without a Coer-cion Kill ." Thomas Babington Macauleycould tell what wo mean without the assis-tance of Moore's Almanac. However, hewho trusts a man a second time, who has de-ceived him once is twice troated as he de-serves. Alas, poor Ireland !—you are ship-wrecked ! Look at our poor-houses—lookat our starvation lists—look at our tout ensemble and seo what a pretty figure we cuton the map of Europe. But we are per-suing this subject usque ad nauseam. Willit ever end ?

HIGH RENTS .—We have heard variouscomplaints from landlords in this city re-garding the non-payment of their rents.—The same complaints have reached us fromlanded proprietors, most of them our sub-scribers, from the uountry . Now to one andall of those gentlemen we would respectfullysay, how can you expect better ? You seetrade, and commerce, and industry of allkinds prostrate ; and still , with these factsstaring you in the face, you have tho con-science to demand hi gh r ents ! You maycontinue to demand them, it is true ; but toget what docs not exist, is a thing not soeasily effected. We think tho landlords aregreat fools to themselves—they should im-mediately reduce their rents to about one half ;that is to say, tho citizen that paid £50 perannum eight or (on years ago for his house,should now get it for at least £'25. Andfrom all that we have been enabled to learnwe well know that it was far easier for a trad-er to pay the former sum at the time wemention , than the latter sum at the presentperiod. We ask any and every man of busi-ness in Watcrford nrc we not right ?—Who can carry on trade if the landlordand the tax-men are to squeeze the lastfarthing out of the struggling citizens ? Noone should go near a griping landlord ! Letbin; nail up his houses, and "make bacon ofthem'' if he likes. A man that would notadopt the just maxim of " live and lot J ive"deserves chastisement.

SANITARY ASSOCIATIO N.A meetin g of the committee was held in the council-

chambor on Tuesday evening, Dr. Mackesy in the chair.Mr. R. A. Carleton , the hon. .secretary, read a number ofletters from various parts ot" tho country on the subj ect olthe proposed Public Health Hill. Two petitions werethen adopted ; one in favour of the public health hill , theother in favour of a Registration of Birth s, Deaths, andMarriages .Bill ; and it was resolved that the petitions tothe House of Commons should he forwarded to ThomasMcaghcr , Esq. M. P. for presentation—th ose to the Lordste Lord Forteseuc. After some remarks from the Chair-man , Dr. Burkit t , Messrs. E. Elliott , J. Ambrose , If.White , J. Hudson , and R. A. Carleton , it was resolvedto arrange for the delivery of a course of lectures on pub-lic health , to be delivered by some of the leading localmedical men.

The Secretary announced that he had communicated withMr. Meagher requestin g him to obtain a declaration fromthe government as to their intentions with respect to in-troducing the new bills in connection with publichealth . A sub-committee was then appointed to makearrangements for the lectures. After the passing ofsome orders- on the Treasurer , the committee adjourned.

\\ c feel much pleasur c in notici g that the exertionsof this usefu l association are likely to succeed this ses-sion of parliament ; and we need scarcely add that ourcitizens are under considerable obligations to the gen-tlemen comprisin g it Ibr their disinterested and perce-vering efforts to promote the social improvement of thepeop le—for assuredl y next to enabling the people to ob-tain the mean s of procurin g food by their industry, wemay rank a due regard to the promotion of their physicaland we may add moral improvement , which is connectedwith the introduction of sanitary improvement.

We are proud in being able to state that our esteemedrepresentative T. Me.agher , M.P. has placed himself at thehead oi: Irish members in this respect ; he having on va-rious occasions brought the subjec t under consideration«| Governmen t with considerable perseverance.

Four sheer-, thl property of Sir Lucius O'Brien , M.P., worestolen last wvek off the lauds of Dromolaiul.

MR . T. F. MEAGHERMany persons seem to he at a loss'to know why Mr.

Meagher, unlike the other State Prisoners, will not ap-

peal to the Lords ? We can answer the question. Mr.

M. has no hope of success before the Lords ; nor had he;

the slightest hope of success in Clonmel, for before his

trial , he pronounced the whole affair—" a farce !"—

And by his indifference in the dock , any one could per-ceive how little he cared about what was going on. —This fact, without any other , accounts for Mr. Meagher

not dragging his case before this last tribun al . Weknow it to be his own wish.

TO JAME S DELAIirXTY , ES(j

SIR—I would like to know , as I' m a prating man , howit is that you now enjoy such peace and qu iet I I don " igrudge it to you , not I indeed ; but it astonishes me , on

my word.'Gad , sir , I happened to stroll into town at tin: drc - t im

and I saw you roared at , pelted , and pummelled as if \ «had been a mad bull—every fellow had a pul l and a dr ;iout of you—" Padd y Costl y " was but a " k i t t le drumto you. After that the munici pal eloctio ir s came on , w i t hyou new charges against you. -

Sam. Woods , a prating man like myself , 'Droug ht for-ward his monster indictment of " fobbin g "' the puhi iVmoney ! Sam. made a great " list " of this. I need n ' t.say any more about it. You were then charged wi th" trinp in^up " every chap that wouldn 't vote with you. —Next , sir , you were charged with runnin g away wirk t inTown-Hall , books , money, and all ! This was a bigcharge , you 'll admit. Nor did it end bore. Af ter allthis a couple of old must presses were oilol up (not w i thTom. Pure -ill 's sweet oil) against you. The oil used , sir .was of a curious descri pt ion. It was extracted , sir , m.- iof the greasy "wi g" of a moth-eaten " bannister ," andlaid on by a coup le of " goose quills. "

Sir , when I laid my " peepers" on you the other dayat the Town-Hal l , snug and dry as you were , " my < " i i -sciencc ," says I , " if this be the man I saw at (he elec-tion , he'has nine lives , like a cat "—I put on my spectaclesa fine new pair I got from Solomons ; " by gingo ," say .-.I " he 's the very same man !—he's not kilt yet. "' This was Council day—I sat in a corner. In a short

time "bould"' Sam.Woods started up on his '* shins ," notfor the purpose of picking a hole in your coat , as of ohi',btrt talking at you like " a sucking dove. " " Kgad ,"

says I to myself in a kind of whisper , " for a p ov t ulthere 's a change in the Minisb-try !"

From Sam's speech it appeared that he had given upYOirii affairs, and betaken him self to die " th rashin g " ofwater for the citizens. He worked like a lion. I thinkthat if he's obliged to go to the Bog of Allan for it , waterhe must have. For this he deserves great credit , andalthough he has not received that support which a man atthe "'pump " ought to expect , still he 's sticking in itlike a hero. Alread y he has expended more " wind " onthe subject than would , if properl y app lied , have savedthe lives of the unfortunate sullerers on board the Lon-donderry steamer.

As you and Sam seem to be " chums ' now , will you£we him my cumpliments , and tel l him that , oil-handedfellow as he is, he ought to buy Mr. Graham 's interestout of his own private " pouch"—and he could lay downthe NKW pipes at the expense of the Corporation ! D—nthe expense ! To a man that loves the interest of thepeople it ic—nothing.

And there 's Peter Carrick , another talking fellow— iregular Joe Hume in his way. When Sam broaches thewater , Peter is on his legs, singing out in his own sten-torian voice—•" I'd like to knaw, Mr. Woods , whore 'sthe money to come from first." This is the way poorSam is puzzled , and this the cause of the unwashed stateof our porters' brawny faces.

I'd pit Peter against Sam . any day for a " lun g yarn "of a speech ; tho ' Peter is not so fond of 'pealing to thepassions of the People as Sam.

Now as I must be prating, I'd like to ask Peter a w ord—wherc's your cheap gas ? I never saw you yet that 1did not imag ine to myself that you had a secret gas-housein tho crown of your hat , and the p ipes in your po cket .If Peter , therefore , gives us FII V:K light , and Sam I- U K K

water , and Dr. Mackesy V R K K wash-houses , where willbe found a happ ier peop le ? 1 wish , sir , some other gen-tleman would now step forward with some provision forEMPTY stomach s, likewise " free. " This , I understand ,Dr. Carroll , who is a good author on the subject, strong l yrecommends before the admirable process of washingtakes place.

Sir, I believe I have digressed—but a prating mandoesn't mind that—the roaming into every latitude is hisdelight. The question I wish to conclude with is—how,in the name of all that 's good , has peace been pro-claime in your dominions ? I hope , sir , that peace willprevail • and instead of disorder and disunion about no-thinc w° may be all united in impro ving the coadit iou ofour city.

Your obedient .servant,A PRAT ING MAN.

at. Messrs. Gatchell & C'o's glass-works, Anne-slrcet, bywhich a young man, '25 years of age, named Charles Gill,lost his life . It appears that the deceased was adjusting;i huge belt , which encircles one of the main wheels whilein a rotatory motion ,and that hewas drawn between by oneof his hands catching in the machinery. Before theengine could be stopped the wheal went round severaltimes , and he was crushed to death.

LORD CLARENDON'S LETTER.The following letter has been addressed to the Righ

Hon. the Secretary for the Home Department by hisExcellency the Earl of Clarendon :—

" Dublin Castle, Jan . 26, 1849." SIR—As the period is now approaching when the

act 11 and 12 Victoria, cap 35, by which the HabeasCorpus Act was suspended in this country, will expire,I feel it my duty to bring under the consideration ofHer Majesty 's Government the reason which induceme to recommend the continuation of that law for afurther limited period. It was with deep regret thaton a former occasion I felt, myself compelled to ask forthe enactment of this measure, but circumstances havesinoe fully confirmed my op inion of its urgent necessity,and I can have no doubt that the course then adoptedby her Majesty's government , and the moral effect pro-duced by the almost unanimous support which the billreceived in Parliament, mainly contiibuted to the sup-pression of the rebellious movement which unhappilybroke out in this country.

" While availing myself of the extraordinary powerconfided to me by the act, it has been my earnest endea-vour to limit its operation as far as possible, and to con-fine the deprivation of personal liberty to the cases ofthese individuals who were actually engaged in trea-sonable designs, or who, by encouraging the disaffected,endangered the peace and tranquillity to the country.No instance occurred of any arrest taken place except onsworn informations ; no person was retained in custodylonger than the public safety appeared to require ; andalthough ihe number of individuals whom it is mypainful duhC to place in temporary confinement was con-siderable, having amounted in ail at different times toabout 129 ; yet, considering the extent to which trea-sonable organisation had been carried, not only in themetropolis, but in several counties of Ireland , the num-ber can hardly be said to exceed what have been antici-pated.

•« The security afforded by the enforcement of thelaw, and the conviction that its provisions would onlybe applied against those whose conduct had renderedtheir detention absolutely necessary, has been felt bythe community at large ; and the restoration of order inplaee of that which for a time was a reign of terror , hasbeen hailed with universal satisfaction. But on thepart of those engaged in the latee treasonable movement ,no indication whatever of sorrow and repentaance fortheir misdeeds have been observed . Their regret is confinedto their failure, and their hopes are directed to a moresuccessful issue on the first favourable opportunity : noris there any reason to believe (and upon this point Ihave collected information from various person* on whosoju dgement and local knowledge I could rely) that therecent orderly conduct of the people in the districtswhere disturbances prevailed or where threatened , pro-ceeds from any improved feeling asregards either thelaw or the executive government . The total absenceof support of the authorities in their endeavours to snp-press insurrection , the renewed attempt at rebellion inthe vicinity of the town where the loaders of the move-ment were being brought to justice, and the disregardof proclamations requiring the surrender of arms, arefacts which indicate that, however the failure of past at-tempts at insurrection may have weakened the confi-dence of the disaffected, the feeling which gave riae toand encouraged movement still remains unchanged, andwould again become active upon any occasion tnat ap-peared to offer even a distant pro«pect of success.

" It is true tnat any future attempt at rebellion willbe much discouraged by the failure of those which havepassed, and the originators of any new agitation willhave noue of the prestige of success 'o aid. and much ofthe sense of past discomffture to damp their exertions ;but still this country has been too long trained to a sys-tem of agitation to be at once warned from such a courseand nothing but a continued enjoyment of that peacewhich the absence of all political excitement has nowcreafed , the improved habits it will generate, and thesocial advantages it will not fail to produce, can save*̂ ^ ̂ ^ ̂— ¦»—»

Ireland fro m wasting her energies in the strife of rivalfactions , instead of exerting them by industry for theimprovement of the country. It is to seeure for Irelan dthis continued repose which it is so vitally essential toher prosperity—to p rotect the country from a renewal ofan ag itation fo r objects that caunot be attaine d, and whichfor many [gears has disturbed its tranquillity , scaringaway capital , betraying confidence , and rendering im-possiblo the stead y app lication of industry, that I desirestrongly to impress on her Majesty 's government theimportance of applying to Parliament for a renewal ofthose powers which the 11 and 12 Vic, e. 35. placed atthe disposal of the executive government of Ireland.—I am well aware of the grave rcaponsibility I incur bythis recommendation, and it is with extreme repug-nance that I venture to ask fot the renewal of anact which infringes the constitutional rights of anyportion of her Majesty 's subjects ; but I th .nk I shouldfail in my duty if , from any personal feelings of my ;own ,I hesitated to state the facts which I know to be corrector to recomme nd the couse which I conscientiously be-lieve to be necessary ; and if her Majesty 's governmentshould see fit to propose, am) Parliament to sanction, therenewal of thia act , I trust that the manner in which ithas hitherto been carried into effect will be an earnestthat its future administration will be marked by leniencyand justice.—I am, sir, with great truth and regard ,your obedien t servant ,

The Queen v. Charles Gavan D 'iffy .

The Attorney-General requested th at Mr. Duffy benot called upon to plead to the indictment found at thepresent commission , until the former indictment was iusome way disposed of. After introducing all the legaland technical objections within his reach, concluded bydemurring to the plea of Mr. Butt , who addu ced Igmost cogent ond powerful arguments for quashing theindictment against Mr. Duffy for felony. The AttoT-ney-Gcneral acted , as usual, as the paid seivant of thecrown , and , as a matter of course, succeeded in defeat -ing the efforts of Mr. Butt and Sir Coleman O'Loghlin ,for the defence. At half-past four o'clock the Attorney -General came into court, and said he could not decideupon the course he would adopt, until the sitting of thecourt in the morning.

Cure of Fisiulous Sores and Pleurisy,Extract of a Letter from Mr, Robert Culvert, Che-

mist, Stolicslri/, dated Sept. 3d, 1847.To Professor HOI.LOWAY.

Sin,—Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of thisTown, desires me to send you the particulars of hisson, who had been bad for three years and a half, andhas received the greatest benefit by the use of your rillsand Ointment, He is of a scrofulous constitution : apleurisy had left a large collection of matter in the cheat—this eventually '.formed a passage through the waleof the chest, and ended in thiee fistuloua sores, whichdischarged large quantities of pus, when he was inducedto try your rills and Ointment. At this date he wasapparentl y in a dying condition ; the stomach rejectedevery thing it took. Your rills and Ointment had theeffect of completely curing both the cough and stomachaffections. His strength and flesh are also restored ;his appetite keen ; and digestion good. There is everyprospect that a little further .continuance of your me-dicines will finish the cure.

The native Princes are now using Llolloway's cele-brated Pills and Ointment in preference to every othermedicine, they being so wonderfull y efficacious in thecure of diseases in Inda.

JIKC'HANIC.S' INSTITUTE .We bog to call part icular attention to vhe advertisement of

the Mechanics' Inslituti .- in our paper of this evening, rmtiounc-injr, the coiiimcncoiiie-nt ofa M:W Course of Lectures on Mondayevening. The Lecturer , Mr. Wri ght , has recently delivered aninteresting cours e in ( 'loninel ; and; if we may jud ge from tin ;opinions of the press of that town , lu- was very favourabl y re-ceived.

It is astonishing—yet the more praisewort h y—how our Me-chanics ' Institute is able to keep up sneli unceasing "steam "in these bad times. But for this admirable Instituti on whenwould the people of Walerford have an opportunity of hearinga public Lecturer ? It , therefore, if no other reason could beadduced , deserves substantial support. In other towns andcities , of far less magnitude, their Mechanics ' Institutes arowell and respectabl y sustained. May our 's also be wellsustained.

I M I -OUTAXT DISCOVERY !—Iu the Queen 's most gra-cious speech it is staled " that another failure in the po-tato crop has caused very severe distress in ' some' partsof Ireland. " AVhy this grand discovery ought to be akind of Cali fornia to the distressed people of I reland.

SI X T Y -E IGHT W OKD S !—Our beloved Queen wasmade say, i» all , sixty-ei ght short words of as li t t le moan-ing as couhl well he imag ined , regarding this country, —What a pity ! 'Twas a suhj ect that could not be donej ustice to in GS hours !

It rained all night, nnd continued to rain incessantlyunti l about -1 o'clock nex t flay, when Dohcny felt theabsolute necessity of parting his dear E , perhapsas he then felt for ever ; and having communicated toher his intention she wept bitterly, and be sent a fare-well kiss to his ailectionatc wife, and little babes, andboth he and Stephens parted with their pistols, whichE took charge of, and away they rushed from thehouse, the owner having promised to conduct E toDungarvan , and to meet them at an appointed place,with such information as he could procure , as to theprobability of procuring a small vessel.

In some time E 's guide returned , having left hersafe at Dungarvan , but holding out no hopes of procur-ing a vessel ; and thereupon they changed their coursedetermined to sleep on that night , but on passing thehouse where a few nights before they forced the use ofa kettlcj thc young man of the house invited them to stayfur the night , where they were most bospitaby received.

Toward* tha c;i 1 ofthe nvis.3, tlu'eo well-dressed young men entered t h echapel , and Doheny said to Step hens , " /ill is up ; theseace dctcctii 'O.i. " They dcU'nni.'j ed to try an e.ie;i|)c be-fore m iss was concluded , but again it was ru -iolved toput on a b.ild countenance , and face the danger ; andaccording l y they emerged with the crowd from tin: houseofG'od , and, alter many rather inqudtivc glances fromthe strangers, the lat ter mounted their car and drove oil",and as their shadow:; disappeared , so did that of the gal-lows from poor Duhony an .I S cp hons.

They dined this evening on animal food for the firstt ime since their h'ight , and. had some bottled porter .Dt iring the day, they met a National Selsool teacher ,y vh.1), after some conveiv.itiou said to Dohcny, " if Mr.Doheny , the ln:;[iecUj r , ii ;ul a brother , I would .say youare he.

They looka circuitous route, and in the evening bad walked lomilcsDoheny met a man who in happ ier circumstances seemedan attached friend , but like most others whom he hadlatel y met, seemed anxious to cut the acquaintance. Hefelt the usual but useless share of i pgi\ t for his suficr-in'j ;s, " bid il was u daiu/n' o-m p lace to remain, hi— nil thornings , " bid il was a dany vro -wp lace to remain in— all (hereli tre knave:; ." Dohcny ba lieved , as he subsequentl y said ,that there was not so craven and debased a cowardthere as ho who uttered the slander . In tho evcniii "1they got info a farmer 's house where they heard relatedmany stories of O'Brien's battles , capture , and rclatiun-nhij ) lo tho Queen.

-'¦>¦— To-day Doher.y got a loiter f iom his wife ; hescemrn l ni 'u\ i air.j. vied , and yet p-R'ved from hi* previous

anxiety about home ; his tliouglits seemed ever recur-ring to ' his once happy fireside, and to her—he waswont to say, " whose love would make ^palacehomely, and a hut more than a palace." Af-ter reading the letter he exclaimed—" If contains not aword of complaint , not a thought but for my safety , notan allusion even to ray poor babes. Well , thank hea-ven ! I have done my duty, and would plav the samepar t over again." Thus did he half soliloquise, notmany miles fro m the town of Bantry.

AUGUST—th—Their host of last night had tw6 daugh-ters, with whom Stephens flirted , H e learned from oneof them that she had a sweetheart in the police. _ Ste-phens had previously given her some clue as to his andDoheny's intended whereabouts, which caused them toalter their arrangements , (to settle somewhere near Bal-timore harbour, until an opportunity of escape pre-sented itself) . They therefore travelled a long way,through bog and moor and mountain , without any fixedpurpose. They dined at a small former 's, on bad po-tatoes and eggs, after which they immediately set oilagain, and had not proceeded far, when they met a de-tective, who looked sharply at them , but said nothing.After a walk of some hours, they endeavoured to procurelodgings for the night , but failed , and having also failedin procuring hay in which they might lie until morning,as a last resource they ventured into the town of Bantry.The night was exceeding!)7 dark—a favourable circum-stance—and. having read the names over the severalpublic-houses , ventured into F 's where they were•Hade comfortable , and read the newspaper over a glassof punch , and got a comfortable bed. The reader willdoubtless say there was a daring in this, surroundedwith imminent danger , when he is informed that theSub-Inspector " and police were with in a few doors ofthem, scvct al dctectives'at the time on their walk , andthe utmost vigilance and espionage kept up ; yet thefelons slept soundl y and calml y in the midst of theirperil and danger, nor did they leave atan unusuall y earlyhour the next morning. The host, the writer believes,was a. sympathizer.

They left Ihe town sing ly, but soon a fter joined , andhaving faced the cast, by a circuitous route , were at thefoot of the " I'lsk*' to the north-west by midday . Twasa drizzling wintry day, and here , on this bleak and lonemountain side , they sat without a home , shelter , food ,or a friend ; and yet can we affirm that there was nowhining nor murmuring against their suffer ings ,no use-le:;:; regret for the : parts they uc fec!—no , there uas ;uiexalted fortitude , a calm resignation. In an hour afterthey obtained shelter in a lone and wretched hut at thebase of the inoun 'ain about two miles above the pictur-esque Glengari'l ", and in view of the polieo station.

We n ust r<.) b;i:;k for a ihuinervt ; to Rantry .

At length it reached the ears otthe authorities , and immediately a council of war washeld , at. which the worthy and respected Sub-Inspectorpresided ,whose portl y figure must have added dignity &wei ght to the important enquiry. On the council tablelay tho ordnance , map of tho West Hiding, whilst TomScull y.the summons-server ,read from that most instruc-tive and ini.eresl.inti; publication the Hue and Cry, slowlyiiu;! emp hat ical l y the parti ctilardcscri ption of all and eachof the rebel:-. Mr. President Tower having ascertainedthe collective op inion of his general ollicers, found thatall concurred in the opinion that the " Big Rebel" wasiMie'neal Dohcny ; but who the devil the little rebel was,sorel y puzzled them.—He was not Dillon , nor O'CJur-man ; no , no lie was too short for either ; and it couldnot be Step hens , f or he was wounded on the Commons ,and subsequentl y died of the wound ; and , upon furtherdeliberation.and more , mature consideration of the viowsput: forwa:d by Scull y, 'it w«\s resolved that ; considerabledoubts existed as to ( lie ident i ty of even the " l»i g ,Kc-bel ," and many of the. council were of opinion that lUcsupposed rebeis were nothing more, than j obbers goingto a fair in the county of Kerry ; and the council wasthen dissolved , with an injuncti on from tho president tohe still more active nnd vigilant.
