AN efficient Substitute for Sea Bathing is nowplaced within the reach of all, without the ex-

pense and inconvcnicnco of a visit to the coast. TlioProprietors call attention to the fact that "TID M A N 'S¦S KA SALT" is not manufactured in imitation of Sea-water, but is actually Extracted from the Sea, at oneof the most_salnbricrija watering places iu the South ofKnrope^byVproceslSvhith preserves intact all thosesaline properties thai render Sea Bathing so efficaciousin maintaining and restoring Health. This statementis full y corroborated l>y tlio report of Dr. Hassall , ofLondon, who has made a complete analysis of the .Salt,and says :—

" I have rnadi: a careful quantitative analysis of Tidmau'sSra Salt ; I find that it contains the various suline substancescharacteristic of Sca Water. Added to fresh water in theproportion of about 3 per cent., or five ounces to the gallon ,a mixture, is obtained having the specific gravity of tjeawater , namely, 1,() 2(> , and very closely resembling it iu ilscomposition and properties."

DIUKCTIOSS FOR USE.—The salt should be dissolvedin water in the proportion of i> ounces, or an ordinaryLoa cup full lo each gallon. II should be prepared afew hours before required, and the solution wel l stirredlii 'l'ore using, so aa to dill 'use the Sail ecjuully in theWiiler , which may lie used at any agreeable temperature.

been taken up iu assaults ou the Government for

not aiding by force of arms their sympathy for the

Danish cause, and up to the present the opposition

havo been worsted in every fight. Nothing dis-

heartened by the repeated baffles , they have re-

solved to gather materiuls and courag e in the

breathing time which Easter has afforded them, and

when " time" is called , they will be prepared—so

their organs assure us—to dispute every inch of

ground with the Ministry. Should the Government

feel themselves pushed too tightly, there is no doubt

about their dissolving the present Parliament, es-

peciall y as the feeble health of the Premier inclinesthem to an appeal to the country before the hand ofProvidence might deprive them of the prestige of

hia name and leadership. Should the Tory party,however , succeed in obtaining an adverse vofte tothe Government on this point—which is not- likelyon a question which must enlist against them thepeace-party of BRIGHT & Co.—an appeal to thecountry with a war-cry woul d surely prove disas-trous to their party, for there is no doubt that , nomatter how strong English sympathy may side withtheir " blood relations," the people do not wish foran expensive war to sustain the onerous and stub-born policy of Denmark , nor, to be consistent , couldEngland enter into it.

The policy now pursued by Denmark shows thatphlegmatic little power to be as stubborn in resist-ance as she was despotic as a ruler. Crushed inevery battle , retreating from every position andtown before the apptoach of her assailants, she stillshows resistance with tke worst of grace, and refusesall offers for negociations which may restore peac eand tranquilize Europe. With no hope of ultimatesuccess against her invaders , and knowing the in-justice of the cause which she fonr3 to submit to thecrucible of peaceful negotiation, she snarls at herpursuers in the vnin hop? that outward assistancemay be driven to her aid; but endurance has itsculminating point , and perhaps the scornful rejec-tion of propositions for a peaceful solution of thedisturbance may drive other powers to cud thequarrel in a more humiliating, though perhaps notless just , a manner for King CH R I S T I A N . WhenNAPOLEON sided with Victor EM M A N U E L npainst theAustrians at Sulferino he did so because he was toldit was a struggle for " Italian nationality. " Hehas, too , spoken thu same ominous word towards theSchleswi g-Holsteincrs ,' and we know that this word"nationality " is the great platfor..i on whic h everyEnglish statesman loves to take his stand , exceptwhen it is applied to Ireland. The war in Denmark'then , is a war of nationality, and the Schleswi g-Holsteiners have hailed the allies as their deliverersand deputations from the emanci pated Duchies havensked the " mighty King of Prussia " that lie maycontinue the work of freedom he, with his all y, hasbegun, and "not allow the successes achieved bythe deaths of so many brave soldiers, with those yetto be obtained , to go down to history " without estab-lishing on a firm basis their independence. Hereis tho language of the inhabitants of Schleswi g, " asrepresentatives of the gentry, possessors of sinnl'estates, small landowners ," &c. :—

"A lone: period of severe trial lies behind us. A foreignpeople attempted to violate our rights—to deprive us of thelanguage and customs of our forefathers—even to misusethe cliHich for destructive political aims.

" lly the will of Almighty God, the hour of release hasHounded. Every tie which hitherto bound us to Denmarkis severed by the death of the last Prince of the elder lineof our rulin;r house ; every rightful pretext for the foreigndominion attempted to bo imposed upon us 1ms therewithdisappeared.

"That the Schleswigers decluro it to be the right of theircountry to form an independent State in union with the(win conutry of Holstein, governed by t.'le male lino of theHouse of Oldenburgh, according to priority of birth . Actinghereupon we can only recognise Duke Frederick of theHouse of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustcnburg asour sole rightful sovereign, as in fact has been alreadyunanimously pronounced by the popular voice in all p^rts ofthe country.

" Most Gracious King ! We should return to our homeswith joy, carrying uncxtin?uishabie gratitude in our henrte ,if we could bring to our countrymen tho happy assurancethat your Majesty will in this matter protect the ti ghts ofour couutry, mid thereby establish her independence"

Th e King, in hi s reply, gave thi s assuran ce : " You mny he fiiraly convinced that the trials of which

vou complain shall not return , if Gml still continues toiilcss our councils and our arms. Ketnin tin's convictio nnnd by a quiet aud considerate attitude render easier tomjself and my • like-minded ally tho attainment of thoobject which, with God's help, shall secure to the Duchies ahappy future.

The causes which drove forth those representa-tives to ask continued protection by a King whomthey hailed as a " deliverer ," are numerous , andcannot be hidden even by the friends of Denmark.Some of them are thus recounted in the LondonTelegraph, one of King CHRISTIAN 'S most devotedadvocates :—

" We invite attention to some papers recently presented tothe House of Commons, the earliest of them dating from3May, 1857, tho latest from February, 1801. At the for-mer period, Mr. Ward, then British Charge d'Aflaires atHamburg, addressed an elaborate report to bin government.]n ono pregnant sentence, Mr. Ward sums up the question,' It is essentially a contest of nationalities.' When hopasses from general assertions into particular instances, wesoon perccivu that the Danes, with whose gallant resistance»va are just now sympathising so heartily, have also resortedin their day to coercion and oppression. Mr. Ward'sreport sbows, not merely a clear comprehension of titsmate of the case in 1857, but, remarkable foresight—dis-tinctly indicating, as it does, the facts which have given sontrauge an interest to tho contest of 18&1. He demonstrate*how the difficulty, already serious, was aegr.ivated by whatmpy fairly be called a cau-d ctat of tho Danish government ,which attempted to establish for the whole iuonaicuy,ducliicsns well as kingdom, a ' corporate constitution' particularlyfiwatnpinc; the rights of tbeformer part ies to the enforced agree-ment. The duchies complained that they were taxed, we willnot say ruinously or brutally, but unjustly j and whilst, toquote but ono instance, tbo revenue derived from Holsteinmis not reserved for Holstein purposes alone, the amountto be received by Denmark from foreigu powers for theredemption of the Sonnd dues was to be devoted entirelyto thci benefit of Jutland and the Islands. Again , thoproposed introduction of the Danish coinage, although itfaili'd, was, nevertheless, the cause of a large amouul ofinconvenience. To take a moro familiar instance, the postalincorporation of Holstein with Denmark was a sheer I063to the former, whose inhabitants, so far as regards theircorrespondence with Germany had, by the new arrange-mont, to pay about sixpence farthing for even1 letter in-stead of fourpence. The Danes eudcavoured to carry onthe government of tho duchies 'through officials who weroregarded as aliens, and they availed themselves of technicalpretexts to remove professors with tho " sounduess" ofwhoso view* they wero not satisfied. Under similar pre-tences they curbed, if they did not abolish, tho freedom oftho press, in some place* virtually putting down alljournals for tho German natives ; and even in Schles-wig — which, of course, fro n obvious ethnolog icalreasons, suffered less severely — thoro were manycases of oppression and intolerance. Gross as arethe outrages to which Denmark has been subjected,some of them might never have been inflicted had sheearlier displayed a moro matured and conciliatory spirit. Ifwe attempt to distribute the burden of blame, it will doubt-less fall most heavily upon thoso who, in * spirit of aggres-sion and dictation , have violated the peace ; but Dot exemptfrom vcproachtul regret are thoso whose wilfulness, explainit us ffc may, once tended to prccipiMU the struggle, andtreti now threateus to prolong it."

With such a bill of indictment aguinst Danishrule, and the happy riddance the Schleswigersdeclare they had of it, how could England , the"encourager of the weak against the oppressed ,"the home of " the refugee from tyranny "—a nationthat shelters just now from the punishment of hiscondemnation , M AZZINI , the abettor of assassination ,and the propaga'or of the theory of the dagger—anation which keeps as a Junior Lord of theTreasury a man whose house affords shelter to thesaid M AZZINI , and enables him, through its address,to hold correspondence with assassins—a nationwhose people, in a few days hence, will probablyenthusiasticall y welcome to its shores, GARIBALDI ,the leader of bandits, the plunderer of the lawfulri ghts of the POPE, and the disturber of Europe forthe one idea which the allies have gained for the

THE AMERICAN WAB-A ,DI8APPOIHTMBNT.» ¦"- ' ¦ ' " r h '^l

There was great rejoicing early this week aroong»t

the followers of a certai n political creed ii .tiiii

country at the news that General; SHERMAN 'S expe-

dition into the South had been a great disatter to

the Federal cause, and that instead of reaching

Mobile, to co-operate with Admiral FARRAOOT'S

ottack with the fleet, he had sustained several de-

feats in his onward march, nnd was compelled to

retreat on Vicksburg, with—oh , crowning glory of

all I—a loss of fifteen thousand men ! Good news

travels slowly, but it was astonishing the trouble and

care the enemies of the Union took to dissemi-

nate, with lightning rapidity, the news of the loss

of 15,000 Federals, and indeed, to give them their

merit, they had the matter so mueh to heart that it

would be unnecessary to buy even a penny paperfor particulars, if particulars were to be had ; butunfortunately for their hearers and their cause , therewas nothing to tell 'but the bare lie that " POLK haddefeated SHERMAN , near Meridian , on the 16th ult.,with a loss of 15,000 men." The vacillating press ofIreland, too, who, barometrical-Iike, go up and downin their opinion's, according to the aide that is suc-cessful, re-echoed the Engljsh press, and shouted" victor" for the Confederates. But it required nopowerful lense to see the improbability of that story—in fact, to discern at once that it wns a tele-graphic lie, and a subsequent arrival puts us in pos-session of the fact that SHERMAN has returned toVicksburg, after having penetrated thirty-five milesbeyond Meridian , where he was so badly beaten,we were told, and :his actual losses are set down at500—a small number, it must be admitted, whpn itis remembered the many engagements he musthave encountered in penetrating, und the losses hemust have sustained in marching through anenemy 's country . The battles of our own days ,which are not inconsiderable, and are unhapp il yaccumulating too rapidly, nor the history of thewars of the past, are not crowded with precedentswhere the army of invasion, no matter how power-ful , brave , well-disci plined , or well-generalled , havebeen successful at the first blow in accomplishingtheir object, and we cannot see why it is supposedthe Federal army should be expected to form an ex-ception , and the frustration of their plan: for a timeso eagerly held up to odium in this country, even bythose whose feelings of kindred should lead themotherwise. There is, undoubtedly, d jealous desirein the breasts of the rulers of nations to see revolu-tion and anarchy spread in every country but theirown , and thus form a happy contrast, and if thatfeeling is unmistakably dominant in England , andan earnest desire there manifest for the perpetualdisruption of tho Union, we do not see why Irelandshould echo that sentiment , but, on the contrary, sofar as sympathy, encouragement , and advice canaid , should cheerfully offer them for the restorationof that Union under which millions of our country,men and their children have found happiness andprosperity . Ilie restoration of the Union , with anhonest guarantee for the protection of Southernrights, should be the aim of every person who wouldwish the happy termination of this disastrous war .andthe most essential means for the accomplishment ofthat great end can only be found in speedil y swee p-ing away from power LINCOLN and his servile warproclamations , thus disarming his Cabinet , andobliterating the destructive policy and power of theabolition faction ivho are dragging that country toruin !

RAILWAY EXTENSIONS

At the half-yearly meeting of the Watcrford andLimerick Railway, lately held, the question ofthe advisability or otherwise of that company sup-porting and contributing towards railway extensionswas opened up by some of the shareholders.thosc whomaintained the negative arguing that the smallnessof the dividend to the original shareholders wasan evidence of their injurious effects, whilst those inthe affirmative , viewing the depressed , almost theruined state of trade, attributed to those extensionsthe f ac t that, unlike other lines, the receipts of theWaterford and Limerick *hotv little or no decreaseai compared with the corresponding period in theprevious year. Ihe immediate cause of this dis-cussion was probably the notification that the meet-ing was to be made special to agree to ruise , whichthey did , the sum of £6,000, to contribute towar dsthe Athenry and Ennis Junction Railway, theLimerick and Foynes Company contributing a likeamount , to be held as preference shares iu this newline. The construction of this line is now rapidl yproceeding, and expected to be open for trafficfrom Ennis to Gort before the close of this year.On the completion of this railway, it will addanother great link of direct communication toWaterford , opening 'up the entire West of Irelandto us, and forming an expeditious route to the mostremote parts of Mayo and Galway, bring ing thelocal fairs of those important districts within easydistance for our cattle dealers and exporters, andoffering the most direct route to the consumingpopulation of Wales and England , by means of oursteam communication. Early in the ensuing sum-mer, too, we expect n portion of the KilkennyJunction Railway will commence traffic operations,thereby opening up another now and fertile districtfor traffic through Watorford ; and the Wexfordand Rossi are Harbour Bill , which is onl y a link ofa great railway project of which Waterford will bethe centre , shows signi of passing throug h Parlia-ment without opposition. On more than half adozen different hours of the day, we have at presentrailway communication to and from the capital ofIreland, or in fact facilities to start , cither by landor sea, for any part of the globe, and with the com-pletion of the net-work of lines now in progress andcontemp lation , and our unrivalled harbour, withwater at our Quays at any state of the tide for thelargest vessels, it u evident that if abundant meansof communication, the work of nature and of man,arc elements of prosperity, we are and will stillfurther be the centre of greatness ; yet, the melan-choly and disheartening fact remains, that ourpopulation declines in number and in comforts, andour trade languishes in quantity and remuneration.With snch disastrous facts staring us in the face, itis evident that there is something radically wrong.Who shall discover the source of our retrogression ,and devi«e a remedy ?

THE NEW GRAND JURY BILL•

We have been favored with a copy of the newGrand Jury Bill— " a Bill to amend the Laws relat-ing to Grand Juries in Iceland. " This Bill proposesto chauge the constitution of Grand Juries , andtransfer the power of making presentments tocounty and baronial boards, to be elected somewhatafter the fashion of poor law boards. We havelooked through this Bill , but cannot find anythingin it which , in our opinion , would improve thepri'sent state of things. It very much reminds usof the late sham Tenant Right Bill , which, .whilstit marred the prospects of a beneficial measure, isinoperative ond productive of no earthly good. Inthis Grand Jury Bill we look in vairi for the onlyclause which could make it acceptable to the public,namely, a clause obliging landlords to pay thetenants' halt of the county rates, as in the poor lawAct. Without such a- clause what use in change ?What value in a new Act ? Is not the greater por-tion of county rates chiefly employed in the im-provement of proprietors' properties 1 What inte-rest has a yearly tenant in building bridges, newroads, fine walks, ice, &c. ? The mere change ofIhe name of Grand Juries to County or BaronialBoards, will not affect territorial influence, though

ABKB8T OF A GREAT PATRIOT- EFFECTS OF?2 ; • - • SECRET 8OCIETIE3.

This threatening aspect of tha political horizon aboutthe dasrio 'aoil of Mnllinahone induced Mr. Hsnna,BM., Cmrick-on.Suir, to send thither » force of con'•t nUty, to prepare for the events of Patrick's Day,and1 at some time before dawn on that morning, thrcopolicemen were patrolling the village, when a my«-tenon, noise in spnblichonse induced the gentlemenm green to demand admittance. The Tipperary FrtePrest thns tells ns what followed:—" The lights weroimmediately extinguished, and the Constable heard anoise as if people leaving the room Wide. When hoentered the house the room was vacant, ana on goingto the rear several persons were observed clearingaway. Mr. Body Kickham, of Cloneygoose, was ar-rested, when getting over a wall , bronght to the policestation and searched, when, it i» alleged, documentswere found on his person of a natnre that induced Mr.Heard, S.I., to despatch a mounted constable for Mr.Hanna, E.M. He was guarded through the village bythirty constables with loaded muskets and fixedbayonets, ana he frequently exhorted the now densemass of people to refrain from any attempt at violence.He was brought to Carrick-on-Suir, and was thencotransmitted to Clonmel gaol, whero he remains incustody awaiting further examination." Mr. Kickham'sname hag been prominently associated with fiercepolitics in Mullinahone, and the Chicago Fenians arebelieved to havo it enrolled amongst their millions of" earnest men," so that it is probablo the insanity ofassociation iu such destructive combinations hag the hadeffect of making this young man the victim of somt" Jemmy O Bncn" in this case, as secrecy can never boof advantage to any but those of tho Judas tribe.Will our countrymen ever learn tbo danger and the sinwhich such infamous organizations aro sure to entailupon them ?

WEST CORK RAILWAY—WATERFORDThis line, of which tho first aod was turned only in

May last, has now completed thirteen miles ol' itsentire length, 33 miles, under tho vigilant andenergetic contractors, MeBsre. Wheatlcy, Kirk, <fc Co.of Manchester, and it is in contemplation to open theline from Baqdon to Duntnanway, a distanco of nearlyeighteen miles, in next autumn. This lino, which webelieve was promoted and undertaken by the sameparties who have in hands the Watcrford and PassageRailway, is one of tho most popular in the countyCork, as an evidence of which may be taken tho factthat for its construction a baronial guarantee wagobtained of i\ per cent, for twenty years on lhadebentures, and it ha3 therefore enlisted the interestof all classes m Us construction. Lord Bandon, LordClinton, Lord Carbcry, aud other gentlemen havingproperty in the district, have recently proposed to pro-mote a line from the woll-known harbour of Crook-haven, which is now a port of call , to a junction withtho main line of the West Cork Railway, at a pointnow in course of construction. The harbour of Crook-haven has an excellent reputation for being safe in allwinds and weather, easy of approach from tho AtlanticOcean, having the further advantage of being 40 milesnearer the American continent than Ualway, and as theGalway company and subsidy have now finally severedtheir connection, nhould Ireland mako another effortnot to have this national enterprise entirely removedfrom us, the claims of Crookhaven would be entitled toconsideration. With the branch railway to Crookhavenconstructed, there would then be^open to Youghal directcommunication, and with a sea-ahoro line to Water-ford, and the Waterford and Wexford line completedto Roslare harbour, as we have before pointed out, thisshort and direct route from the capital of England tothe most advantageous point of the West of Ireland fortrans-Atlantic communication would be a world-widebenefit. We regret to see a link in thi3 grand project—namely, tho line from Waterford to Passage^—dolayed beyond expectations, owing, we are told, to thedifficulty of obtaining the land—an impediment wotrust that may speedily be removed, anil judging fromthe expedition used in the construction of the West CorkRailway, by MeasrB. Whcatl ey, Kirk, & Co., who, webelieve, are aUo the contractors for the Waterford andPassage line, we may conclude that a very short timeonly will bo necessary for its construction.

THE NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CLOUHEEN

Wo had this week tho pleasuro of paying a visitto the beautiful new Church of Clogheen, which wogome time ago very fully described on the authority ofa correspondent. Considering that Clogheen is asmall unpretending town at the base of the mountain*which divido Watcrford county from that of Tippe.rary, we did not expect to iind the new church to bewhat it really is, a credit to the locality, and to thedioceses of Waterford and Lismore, to which it be-longs, though actually situate in tho county Tippe-rary. Though not, of course, so large, it is con-structed very much after the style of the new Tramorochurch, which every one so much admires. The ma.terials used are of the very best description, bothchurches having been erected by the same emi-nent builders, the Messrs. RYAN , of Waterford andLimerick. The new church stands exactly where theold church was—a spacious and well-enclosed sit«in the main street of tho town, a free grant mademany years ago, when popularity was not fashion-able, by the predecessors of the present kind-heartedand justly popular Lord LISMOBE . His Lordship, Mwo already stated, lias given hia own generous Rub-scription of £100 towards the new church ; and inhave also heard ¦with very great satisfaction that histruly amiable and most excellent lady intends to makoa liberal contribution towards beautifying tho altar.—Wo learn that a debt of some £1,400 is still duo onthe building—a very small snm considering all thowork that has been done within a few short months.In other places, and with a less energetic Pastor, thesame amount of work conld not be performed foryoars. But this is the reason why Father O'GORMAN—a clergyman so much beloved by all classes—shouldbe warmly sustained to completion in his noble andpraiseworthy efforts to raise, in this comparativelyisolated inland town, so fine and substantial a templeto the honor nnd glory of GOD, in place of tho oldone, whoBO roof was so long in danger of falling in.It should not bo forgotten that Protestant minister!)can fall back on tho State to build their churches—inthis there is no anxiety or difficulty—but Catholicministers muBt tarn to their people and the generosityof the public alone, or be without churches. Provi-dence seems to havo especially favored the latter. TheState has not, at least up to the present, erected asmany noble and mogniticeut temples as the people,the Catholic churches being by far the most numerousand beautiful in the land.

POOR LAW KLECTIONS-LIBEUALITY ALL ONONE SIDE.There were but two contests in this city, namely,

in the St. Patrick's and West Wards, and the re-sult has turned out, as may be seen by our report ,entirely in favor of the Conservatives. In bothwards, if the Liberals had voted exclusively forthemselves—as did the Conservatives—they wouldhave had a respectable majori ty ; but they did notdo so ; some split their votes, and others ' plumped'for the Conservatives. It is, however, very strangaand worth y of being recorded, that in neither wardnot one single Conservative, or Protestant vole, teatrecorded for a Catholic ! !

No MEAT DINNER .—Contrary to usage, both inthis and other unions, no meat dinner has been or- jdered for the poor of our union on Easter Sunday 'fnext.

The infirmary and new apartments add materiallyto the well-being of the inmates. I think it advisable thatcurtains or blinds should be hung in them. I fully agree inthe opiniou of tbi- grand jury committee that grass plots arepreferable to gravelled yards for tbo female patients. Havingbad the pleasure of meeting the board, soroc suggestionswhich I submitted will , with its sanction, be carried out byresident physician, with refcrenco to the rooms for refractorypatients, the water-closets adjoining the infirmaries, easy-chairs, ix.

continue to receive tbo due and most careful supervision ofthe present efficient manager, Dr. Burton, a supervisionloalonsly administered to it since his appointment to office,and which care, under the tato respected manager, CaptainDobbs, unremittingly exercised by him during the manyyears be filled that office, justly rendered the WaterfordDistrict Lunatic Asylum whnt it now is, a model of its kindin Ireland.

D RUNKENNESS .—A countryman , in charge of a horseand dray, from an adjacent district in the county Kil-kenny, yesterday evening, while maddened by drink,

drove the animal furiously across the bridgc.ncarly run-ning over a couplo of ohildrcn as he did so. At theKilkenny side he wheeled round ainl attempted to comeback at the same pace, and would have succeeded, athow much loss of life there is mi conjecturing, were itnot for the intrepidity of Sub-constable John Ryan , ofthe King-street station, who rushed foiward and caughtthe animal by the head, the drunken savage , al! thetime, lashing the animal to fury. The toll-men cameto the officer's aid, and between them they held the in-furiate down, when, some other constables coming up,he was, with some difficulty, taken to the station, wherehe was kept all night , his horse and dray being put tolivery.

Mr . Conuolly possesses numerous testimonials fromofflccru , magistrates and others, iu proof of the very meiito*riouB service through which he has passed. Iu 1818, Mr-Connolly, then constable, was transferred from tbis city tothe Old Bridge district , at the county Waterford side ofClomuel , aud on that occasion The Wattrford Neict IhuRwroto ot him :—" Removed from this city to Old Bridge,Clomuel, Constable Michael Connolly, who has been stationedhere since the introduction of the force, now elevcu years,during which time we had many opportunities of witnessinghis conduct. As a public officer , we must bay he dischargedhis duties with satisfaction to all parties. Well would itbe for 11 eland if :dl iu the force acted iu like manner.His removal is very much regretted here.

THE BACON TIJ ADB-WAGES IN AMERICAAND WATEttr.lKD.

New York, 27th February, 1864.TO THU F.DITOIl OV TUB VTATKRFO KD NEWS.

DKAB SIK ,—On reccivin-; your paper of the !!othJanuary,1 was much surprised to find iu it » letter signed" II. N. N.," written as i\ reply to iniui', addressed tothe editor of Ihc II ant ware Jicporler of this city, of the3rd Dccerrber.

This gcntlcmau, as a matter of business, was col-lecting facts and statistics relating to rates of laborand causes of emigration, and asked me to give himsome Information as to my work people. This was thesimple origin of tho letter, and iu giving it 1 had noselfish or personal object in view, whatever.I deeply regret that anyone iu my native city (even

writing anonymously), should have acted so ungen-erously towards mo us to call in question cither myveracity, or my knowledge of tho subject about whichI wro'e, and 1 cun't understand how auyoue could be sosilly as to put forward statements which hundreds abouthim could have told him wore wholly uutrue.

His statement is, that the average wages of the sail-ers in Waterford, is from *J4s. 6d. to 2Cs. Cd per week.Now,tliis is no theory ,but a plain matter of fact, which heor anyono can decide in ten minutes. I ask him to iuformyou how many of Mr. Carroll's, or Mr. Ryan's, orMessrs. Dcuny's, or Mr. Richardson's men, have re-ceived such wages for the last six months ?

If such is uaw the ordinary rate , there must havebeen a chuugo within the last two years, of which I urnnot aware ; but I defy your correspondent to prove thatwages are oven near the amount he states, and theremust be no quibbling en this point.

By skilled men are meant those who can perform theordinary process of the trade, such as " singeing,1'" scraping," " salting," " baling," &c, in fact, thomain stuff of every bacon concern, not counting the" bacon cutters," who arc in the capacity of foremen,and of whom there are from 2 to 4 in every large estab-lishment, and whose wages arc of course, higher thanthe ordinary men's ; omitting also, thero were helpers,who are less regularly employe d, and whose wagesare lower. The wages paid to such skilled men are10s., Us., 12s., aud in some cases 13s. per week,with perquisites. Thu amount of the latter is uncertain ,depending upon tho work done. But I can give you asufficiently accurato averago—for every 100 pigs killed, 33s.4d. me divided equally amougst tbe men. A large concern willkil) on an average 000 weekly, aud will employ say 50 hauda—the perquisites iu tbis case will be 6s per week per man.i'hia is n tavourablc average for tbe men, and one they willbe glad to haw assured them. This makestfwages audperquisites 16B., 17S., 18S., and iu soino cases l'.lg. per week.The average will be found (o bo very near 18s. per week.

Notf this is a fair rate of payment iu proportion to thewages customary for other kiuds of labour in tbe country.But if your correspondent can show that tbis is alia mistake,and that those men are recciviug 26s. 6d., or even 24s. 6d.my advice to them will be to work faithfully for their em-ployers, and not to think of emigrating at all. Irishmculoye their country wherever they are liviug—it ia theirbright spot, that Ould Country, aud it is the very high wageshere irliick is tbe only inducement to forsake- it. Sorely,the millions of sterling money which have bceu remittedwithin the last few years from working men here to theirrelatious iu Ireland is a sufficiently plain fact to Bettle thoquestion. What proof of anything can bo takeu fromgarbled extracts from the private let tern of two or tlireoignorant men, only a few mouths iu the country, who gota careless person to write for them, and who scarcely everknew tho exact contents of their letters p Against such Iput the fact , that one ot ruy meu came to me n few weeksugo saying, " I want to bring out my family now, sir," andbanded me.to my suvprise,160 dollars for tbis purpose I paidfor him 130 dollars for two adults aud two children, andsent 21 dollars to his family to help them out. Another hascotoe to me since and said, " I aru nearly ready to give youthe amount to bring ont my family."

Now , I did not kuow those men were saving so carefully,and wus very glad of it, but ou this point I meet almostdaily in thn Bank of Abraham Bell and Son, well-to-do Irish-men and Irishwomen giving their dollars in excliaugc furbank orders in Ireland, to send home to their friends, andmy argument is, that so long aB a working man gets 10 to12 dollars per week , and cau procure excellent board andlodging for three to three and a-half, wages must bo higherin proportion than the coat of living.

Your correspondent has wisely left one point of the wagesquestion untouched, viz.—the "hours of labour." Here thequoted wages arj' paid for sixty hours per week : with you ,wheii work is brisk (and I calculated the rate of paymentwith tbis in view), 78, 81, aud 90 hours per week are usual.

If I wished to have made ont a flattering statement in myletter, I could have calculated this important difference andtutd thu fact , that work :it over hours, that is over ten hoursper day, is mostly paid for at double the rale per hour of thercgulav wages, and that many men make thus, 8, 9, and 1(Jdays' wages per week.

In quoting wages , of course I never iutcmled to conveythe impression that dollais wciu worth more than tlicircurrent value, but 1 found that tbe editor of the '" H.K.," iuprinting my letter, affixed tho value of dollais in brackets atIs. each. This he did because all his other calculations iu tbesame paper were based ou this supposition for the sake of clear-ness, all articles of consumption being calculated in tbe sameway. The wiigcs I now pny nrc 10, 12, and 13 dollars, and Imust again reiterate that reut, fuel, and clotbiug uvc almostthe only articles that arc higher iu price than similar articlesiu Ireland. Calculating at this day's price of gold (169),the dollar is worth 'U. lOd sterling. M y wages arc, then ,equal to 283. 4d, ;lls., and 36s. lOd, per week. Now, tbemen to whom I pay 'Ms. id would probably get lls. andperquisites, say 17s. with you, taking for granted tho hoursof labour wero the sainc,{wbic!j I have shown is not thecase ; but I have known quito as good mon work from yearto year in Waterford at 12s. per week without any per-quisites. Tho retuil prices ol some leadiug articles here, are—flour, 8 dollars per brl , equal to Is. 7}d per 11 lbs; muttonand Wef, 10 to 16 cents, 3J to 51 per lb; Ua, 80 to 100cents, 2s. 3d to 2s. 10 per lb; sugar, 15 to 17 ccut», 5d to 6d;butter, 30 to '10 cents, 10', to Is. Id (this article is unusuallydear) [ cheese, 10 to 20 cents, ojd to 7d.

Noiv, these rates aro looked upon by old residi'Hts as ex-tremely high, nearly double what they were a few years ago.Wages have also increased, and I find tbis increase to bewritten the last three years fully 30 per cent. TbU appliesto carpenters, masons, and general mechanics. Your cor-respondent writes in ignorance wheu lie says, "precariou«employment in the summer months." This is not so, forthese willing to work , especially for those willing to go out-Bide tbo city, thousands of bauds are sought for all the sum-mer, at fair wages ; but the fading of independence en-gendered by having plenty of moucy iu hand, after allnecessary wants aro supplied, causes the men hero to pickand choose their work aud their location, and I know at thismoment of many large employers of labour, who are anxiousand willing to advance the amount necessary to bring outworking men (and their families), provided they see a reliableagency, and a fair prospect of securing the labour of tbomon at tho high rate of wageB now current here. Thisdemand exists, aud is iucrcaaing to an extent, inconceivableperhaps to your correspondent, but 1 quite agree with himthat Ibis question is too important to be passed by—iu fact,it cannot be shirked by Great Britain much louger. Wagesmust advance to such an extent as will mako tbis induce-ment to emigrate but a small one. The present war alTectsthe questiou by reducing tho supply of labour, and by in-creasing tbe price, stimulating in a wonderful manner thumanufacture of all kinds of goods. Jobu Bright appreciatesthe immense importance of this subject, and stated facts inhis late speech at Birmingham, which too many of biscountrymen dislike to hear. I have trespassed quite toomuch upon you by this long letter, but trust like your other,but nameless correspondent , you will be glad to havo facts todeal with instead of mere assertions.—1 remain, dear sir,your respectfully, W. S. Tnoapso>-.

THE FANNING INSTITUTIONTO TUB BDITOE OF THE KBWS.

Silt—Is it true that at the admissions to this charity, onTuesday last, the number chosen w;is iu tlie proportion ofone Protestant to two Catholics ? I shall say nothing ofthe president of the institute being Protestuut, or of the twosuperintendent!!, the apothecary, aud the majority of thecommittee being of the same persuasion ; but. 1 shall ask iait fair that one Protestaut should be admitted to twoCatholics ? when in tbo poorhousc—the fifirest ground forascertaining the relative numbers of the Catholic and Pro-testant poor—the proportion is one Proteitaut to forty-fourCatholics—something less than 3 *o 100.

If the Fanning Charity was founded altogether fromProtestant funds,. simply for tbe benefit of tbe "Poor ofWaterford ," ono Protestant to ten Catholics would bo amplejustice to the l'mttstaut poor of this neighbourhood.

Who and what was tbe founder of this asylum ? JamesFanning was u Catholic gentleman, a native of this city,who Bed from his native land in the penal timcn, 1776, tocave his property from the rapacity of the Protestauts, andwho made a will in Paris, in 1801, leaving £30,000 to tbepoor of Waterford, bestowing au emerald ring set withbrilliatiU to adorn tbe ciboriuiu of tbe Blessed Sacrameut iuthe Catholic Cathedral of bis native city, seeking tbe pray-ers of the faithful for his eoul, and naming as his executorsa Catholic priest aud a Catholic layman. It would beatraugc if poor James Fanning wbeu dying intended toleave any of his property for tho benefit of the Protestants,who thought to deprive him and bis family of his estatesduring his lifetime ; but the fatal error of not saying RomanCatholic poor, gave rise to the preseut state of things.

I n,James Fauning's time, as now, there were no Protest-ant poor in Waterford ; the exceptions being so trifling asonly to confirm the gcucrul rule. However, ire must onlytrust that thero is yet enough of Protestaut honesty in tbecountry not to lake unfair advmitogo of tho mistake of aCatholic—I remain, nir, your obedient scrvaut ,

" H. G. UOMAIKB."John Farrcll , E.-q., Secretary, Harbour Commissioners."Mr. Kent said it would be well to forward a copy

of that letter to Mr. Malcoinsoii. On his reading itMr. Mnlcomson , perhaps, would propose a course ofaction for them to take in the matter.

This suggestion was agreed to.THE BUOVS.

At tlie meeting of the board on Monday , the 7thMarch , it was agreed th.it a report of the Dublinballast board, by their deputation, Sir James Dom-brain and Mr. Cnl ivell , on the state of the bunys ofthe harbour, should be referred to the pilot-master,Mr. K H. "Alcock. This resolution having beencarried in to'effect, the following letters were receivedfrom Mr. Alcock , and were no w read by the secre-tary :—

" Duninoro Pilot Station , 8th .March, 1861." DEAU SiR-Refcrrins to yours, of yesterday's date,

conveying minuto of board's proceedings, as well as of Mr.Lee's, and the report of the commissioners on the buoys, Iwrito to say that since - the report in questiou was writteu abuoy has been placed on the middle patch ou tbe bar, inplace of tbat sunk, but which has been recovered and sentby ma to WaterfonI for repair. Tlie tbrce buoys on Druni-roe aro in the dirty condilioii represented in report , and willnlwavs bo so after tho winter until my suggestion , frequoutlymade, is carried out, to have all the buoys below Passagooverhauled, cleaned, aud painted twice iu every yenr, tbefirst overhaul, 4c., to be completed by the 1st June, and tbasecond finished by the 31st Oct. No doubt if thoso buoys mlDrumroe were larger, ;it would be much better. Thesuggestion made by tbo commissioners for tbo substitutinga ligbt-bouse on tbo spit of Passage for the present beaconis a most admirable one, and well deserving tho support oftho harbour board. Tho buoys on Seedoe's bank wero takenaway many years ago with tho couseut of the harbour board,having been pronounced useless and in the way, by the mostexperienced pilots in tho riv«r, which opinion 1 concur in.Tho remarks of the commissioners with regard to somo oftho buoys above Glasshouso being out of I heir proper places,moio particularly thoso off the Boltou Rocks, and at the N.E.point of tbo Island , are correct, as stated in my report with re-gard to same, dated 2Cth ult., to which I may refer you forthe arrangements, Ac., I mado for having the buoys re-placed.

" In conclusion, I riquest that you will inform the boardthat for the future I will be careful t<> net in accordance withtheir resolution, making frequent inspection of the buoys re-ferred to. You will please read this report at the board'snext meeting, and believe me, very truly,1: E. H. A LCUCK , Pilot-master.

" J. F.irrcll, Ksq., Sec. Waterford Harbour Comms."" Dunmore, Pilot Station, March 10, 1861.

" DRAK SIR — On yesterday (Friday) I took boat fromhere and inspected the buoys in the harbour and river. Iproceeded up the Ford, aud returued through the King'sChannel. Those below Passage are iu correct position, withtho exception of that in the middle patch of the Bar, audthat over the Oaunet 's wreck. All tho buoys will require tobo overhauled , cleaned and painted, tenders for doing whichhavo already boon advertised for. Tlio beacon on the Spitof Passago has a very slight list to the Eastward, and re-quires tarring. I have given tbo Passago officer directionsfor having it put to rights. The buoys above Glasshousearo also now in correct position. Those that were not so onmy last inspection have been shifted to tluir proper berths,in accordance with my instructions to the caretaker. Thesunken buoy ou the Ford has uot yet been raised, but tbocaretaker has all his arrangements made for its recoverythese spi-iDg tides.—I remain, truly yon»s,

'¦ E. II. A LCOCK, Pilot-master." Secretary, Ballast Office , Waterford."Aid. Denny moved , and Mr. Spencer seconded, ;i

motion to the effect, that the pilot-master, for thefuture, shall consider it to be his duty to inspect thebuoys and make a monthly report of their conditionto the board.

This motion was agreed to, rmd the reply to theBallast Board, Dublin , was confided to tlie pilotcommittee. MF.M O R I A I ..

A memorial was read from the father of EdmundToolc, the poor fellow who lost his life by drowningat the boring operations on the Ford (as noticed inlast News), praying the board for somo compensa-tion. Aocompauying the memorial was a letterfrom Mr. T. H. StrBngtnan , Hsthcullilieen, in whoseemployment the father is, corroborating the truth ofhis statement.

Mr. Kevins said he thought they should do some-thing for the poor man, particularl y as his son losthis life in their service.

Aid. Keil y—How long has he been in our em-ployment ?

Mr. Stephens—lie has been a month with ourengineer at tlie Ford.

Counsellor Walsh asked was it known whether ornot the accident was caused by any carlessness onthe part of Toole ?

Mr. Stephens said Toole was reckless. He wouldthink nothing of jumping out to his middle in thewater.

Aid Keily observed he thought his doing sorather showed his zeal than otherwise.

Mr. Nevins said he understood the accident oc-curred in this wuy : the boat in which Toolc andother men were , at the time, was passing under nhawser , fastened above ; as she did so, the men, ex-cept Toolc , stooped and passed safely under ; Tooletried to grasp the hawser , but failing, it struck himacross the breast and knocked him over. In his(Mr. Nevins 1) opinion they ought to give the father£5.

The Secretary, in reply to some members of theboard, said he did not conceive they could awardsuch a sum.

Mr. 1'. A. Power said he was of opinion theyought to give £10.

Counsellor Walsh said he was of the same opinion.Aid Keily—What cun we do fSecretary—You can 't do anything like .CIO.Mr. Spencer—Would we be acting legally in tlu-

ing so ?Counsellor Walsh—Why not ? All public bodies

act in a similar manner in such cases, and nrc nevercalled to account.

Mr. Spencer—The man was not in our employ-ment for any length of time.

Counsellor vVnlsh said he would move they grant£10. He would indemnify the board if there shouldbe anything wrong (hear, hear).

Mr. Power seconded the motion, and Mr. Ncviussaid he would withdraw his suggestion in its fuvor.

The Chairman, under advice of the secretary,said such u motion would require notice.

Counsellor Walsh accordingly gave the usual no-tice for next meeting.

CONTRACTS.The Secretary , previous to entering on tlie con-

tracts, said they had called for tenders fur the 7thof March ; they adjourned that day to the present ,without considering them, and on the 17th of Marchanother tender was sent tu him. He desired toknow would they entertain that tender ?

Mr. Spencer said he considered they cuuld notdo so.

Aid. Kcily said he was aware that that tenderwas one for the supplying uf a pilot boat at Passage ;it was sent in by a young man who only returnedfrom sea a day or two before he did so, and hecould not, therefore, tender sooner. He was a fineyoung mm) , had a good crew for the boat , and itwould be a pity to run the chance of losing him.

Mr. Spencer said they might open the tendersthey had for this boat ; if they were too high theycould advertise again, and thus give this youngman an opportunity to tender.

To this course the board objected, as also to con-sider the tender of the 17th of March, and theoffers for supplying tha boat came up in tbtir pro-per place.

Timber.—Messrs. J. P. Graves tendered as follows :—Meuiel, 1st quality, 74s. per ton; 2oil do., 68s. ; pine, GU. ;extra sizs do., 67s. 6d. ; yellow pine, 18s. ; extra do., 6'2e.6d. ; do., for stngiug, 60s. ; spruce deals, £17 10s., £15, and£13 per ton. Tbis tender, the only one before tho boardunder tbis head, was accepted on motion of Aldermen Keilyand Denny.

Iron and Cordage.—'Mr. M. l'rcudergast, Barronstraud-street,, the only tender for irou, accepted. Mr. GeorgeWhito taken for cordage.

Oils and Colors.—Mr. George Whito aud Mr. T. Purcellcompeted. There was a variation, oitber way, in tbs pricesnoted, and it was decided to accept tho lowest priced articlesfrom each party.

Jf ails airf Strike,— Mrj . Mary Fitzgerald accented.Printing.—Mr. K. S. Kemioy, on motion ot Aldermau

Keily and Mr. Spcucer.Iron and Loci Work.—The followiug tcudercd, cxclusivo

of dredge-vessel:—Mrs. Mary Sharpe, £70 ; Mr. K. H.Dart, 165 ; Mr. Benn, £50 ; Mr. J. Devoreux, £18 10s. TheUtter tender accepted.

Repairing Beam * and Scales, to.—Mrs. Sharpe, £10 ;Messrs. Pbelan, £12 10s. ; Mr. J . Devercux, £16 10s. Tb»first tender accepted.

Bails.—Messrs. Angel & Co., sails, 2s. Id. per yard ;leather, extra, 2s. per lb. Mr. T. Barnes, sails, 2j. 2d. peryard ; leather, extra, 2s. 2d. first tender accepted.

Pilot hoat,—For tho supplying of the pilot boat andcr.w nf four mm. nt Passage, tbe following were the tender*:

master of the Gmtnet come before them for appoint-inenf to their new bont, he would not be disposed lovote for him in the absence of that inquiry. Byrejecting him he might be doing the man an injus-tice, and for all purposes he considered an invest!-gation very necessary .

Mr. Kent said he would second the motion.Aid. Keily asked ho.w could they do so ?Aid. Denny said his proposition was, that they

appoint a committee to take evidence from thecrews of lwth vessels, so that they might knuw whether auycapability attached to the master and crew of tbe Bonnet.

Aid. Keily said he did uot seo on what grounds therecould bo any culpability attached to the master of the WOUMJ,If thora bad been any such ground against him he (Aid.Keily) did uol think they would get one shilling of tue£600from the steamship company. It was not fair to turow anyaspersion on the mau.

Aid. Deeny said he did not seek to asperso the mau. Hefelt they owed a duty to the public ind to themselves in thomatter, which they could only discharge by inquiry.

Aid. Keily—Suppose the blame thrown ou the other side,can wo go back on the Beta ?

Aid. Denny—Tho public h&ve a right to know the facts.Mr. Kent said be felt tbe inquiry would bo a service to the

master of the \Gannet as, if blameless, it would relieve himfro>n all aspersion aud euable them to give him tbe newboat. Furthermore, as trustees of the public, the commis-sioners were bound to give them nil the information theyconld as to the loss of their boat.

Aid. Keily—If tbe man Bhould be found in error then Ihope yon will give back the company tbo £600 (laughter).

Aid. Denny said thoy had heard ouly oue side of thematter. It was desirable they should have both.

After a (cw other remarks the motion w/is put, andagreed to.

As the majority of tbo members wero leaving the room,Aid. Denny nominated the following as tbe committee :—

Tho M ayor, Messrs. Denny, Kent, Prossor, and Power,—thesecretary to forward copy of resolution to Mr. JUlcomsoa ,and ascertain from him on what day the captain and crow oftbo Beta could bo examined.—Adjourned.

MYSTERIOUS CASE.On the 'llh inst., from some cause up to this

moment unexplained, J ohn Kennedy, a f ire man onboard the steamer Citi zen, of this port , and , whenashore , re siding in Michael-street , in this city , di s-appeared from the vessel while on her voyage toBordeaux, being, as was, and still is, supposed tobe drowned. Undfr such circumstances, Mrs.Kennedy app lied to tho board for out-door relief ,which was granted , at the rate of four shillings perweek. At tlio same lime she wrote to the Londonagent of the Waterford Steamshi p Company inquir-ing after her husband, and from that gentlemanreceived the following reply :—

"A. (i. ROIUNSON ." Mrs. Catherine Kennedy, Little Micbael-st., Waterford."The board also feeling some doubts in the matter,

" J. C. Henncssy, Esq., Clerk Waterford Union."The Chairman observed it was certainl y a very

suspicious case.Colonel Roberts suggested that the matter ought ,

at once, be brought under thu notice of Mr. Mal-comsoii, with a' view to an inquiry into the circum-stances.

Mr. li. Power said he would second the motion.Passed. HO SPITAL KLUCF .

On the f)th inst., a poor man named John Con-nolly, waj admitted into the workhouse, and ou the13th was transferred to hospital , having been takensuddenly ill. He died same night. The intermentdid not* take place until the matter was reported tothe board on Wednesday, the 10th, by the master,on the suggestion of the inspector, Capt. Hamilton ,and at that meeting it was resolved , on motion ofMr. O'Sliea, seconded by Alderman Keily, that thecoroner be requested to hold on inquest on the body.Au inquest was subsequently held, resulting iu thefollowing VERDICT .

" That the deceased died from the effects of continueddestitution and waut, and was in the pourbousu twenty-fourhours before he received medical treatment, aud when tbesudden and dangerous attack which ocaurred, wbich endedin fiis death about thrco hours afterwards, was reported bythe pauper nurso to tbo paid nurse, be cousidcrcd himselfthe St person to decide whether the attention uf tin; doctorshould be vailed to such attack or not, aud the jury are,therefore, oi opiuiou that samo rcvisiou is required so as toprevent such circumstances frum taking place iu future, audso A3 to secure for tbo sick poor the full benefit of hospitaltreatment.

On tbis case thu master, under date March 18, 18U1reported as follows to tbe board:—

" I have to report that au inquest was held on the llitbiusl., at the Walurfoi d Union Workhuuse, the result ofwbich is given above. It appears tbat deceased, a professionalbeggar, was admitted to the workbouso on the (Kb inst, andbad then Is. 3d. iu crush. On the 13th inst., being then inhospital, he was taken suddenly il' and died iu three hoursafterwards. The chaplain, who saw him, directed tbe doctorto .be sent for, who, on arrival , found him dead, and euternla minuto on tho visit irs' book, to tho effect tbat, '" deceasedbeing in the agonies of death , he should not have beeu sentfor," which coming before the board ou the Kith inst., auiuquest was ordered.

Tbo Master, under dato or March 23, 18(11, furtherreported " that on Wednesday, the 9th, the poor mau wasadmitted, first ou the recommendation of Lieut.-ColonelRoberts, aud in a foiv hours afterwards by Mr. Rooncy,relieving officer. He did not appear to be :m urgent case ;ho made uo complaint of being ill. He cat his dinner, andwas sceu by Dr. Burkitt on his evening visit , at seven o'clock ,who did not consider it necessary to take him iuto hospitaluntil the followiug morning. lie complained to the master,when going to bed, that be could not drink tbo gruel, andwas very dry, when the master ordered him a pint of milk,which he drank. Ho had on his person, when admitted,Is. lid., and some bread. He was takcu into hospital onThursday, the 10th, aud on Sunday morning, 13th, he gotBuddcnly ill. At about half-past five o'clock the paupernurse in cbargo reported the matter to Richard Rafter, tbapaid male nurse, who got him some punch, and sent a mes-senger for the priest. The messenger left for tbo priest atseven o'clock, aud he arrived at a quarter to eight o'clock,when he was auuoycd to find that tho medical officer wasnot sent for. Richard Rafter hesitated ; as he believed theman was dying he did uot report tho matter to the masteruntil eight oxlock, when he directed him to send a mes-senger for tho doctor. Tbe doctor did not arrive until nquarter to ten o'clock, wheu the mau was departing."

Tho following reports from Dr. Burkitt, M.O., ou tbiscase were also read : " March 13tb—Was summoned mostunnecessarily—1 might say almost wnntouly—to the work-bouso, tbis morning to visit au old man iu his dyiug mo-uicuts, who bad been iu tbo hospital tor some days, JobuConnolly by name, and to whom it was totally out of mypower to ronder any assistance whatever. I liavo alwaysliccu most anxious to assist any patient lo tho utmost of iryability, in all cases of illness or emergency, but to be thussummoned to attend on persons in a dying state, to whomit is utterly out oi my power to rcuder auy assistance, moreespecially when such percons havo been, for days, iu hospital,is a very great hardship, to say the leust of it. I have neverobjected to visit tbe workhouse whenever my services couldfie of tbe slightest use." . .

"March 18—Tlio workhouse master informs me that a re-port is desired by tho board on the caso of John Connolly, amiserable, old man admitted in thu hospital on tlie 10th inst.,suffering, to all appearance, from the effects of want, com-bined with a cbrouic disease iu tbe stomach, for tho treat-mcut of wbich ho hud beeu repeatedly iu the hospitalbefore, and who sunk aud died ou the 13th iuBt., theonly natural result to bo expected from such a stato oftbingB, although it appears to have beeu industriously cir-culated otherwise by somo parties, to use tbe mostcharitable interpretation, through gross ignorance of thecommonest physiological principles, or laws of organic life.Had stimulauts been administered iu this case, it wouldonly have expedited tbo fatal result, the poor man haviugbad vomiting of black matter, and the punch, which wasadministered without my knowledge, certainly aggravated

I admitted him to the hospital, nottbat I might administer medicines, hot because from myprevious knowledge of him, when under my care, I under-stood his case, and was struck with tbe great change in him.Whilst here he got all that was fit for him, or that hewould bear, food, such as suited his woro and wasted frame,and not stimulants, such ns appear, wrongly, to have beenimagined necessary by others. The fatal eveut, which couldscarcely have been delayed long, was accelerated by his ownimprudence in sitting up at the fire, and the final collapse,ushered in by pain, into which he fell , was ons tbat admittedof no remedy—sudden, acute pain being a very common audfatal symptom, in similar icases, of approaching dissolution.—I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

ROBUST .J. Bt/WEmy'A.M., M.B., T.C.D.In some observations which ensued on the reports

at the outset ,Dr. Burkitt said he vrould desire to withdraw that

paragraph of one of his reports complaining that hehad been "summoned most unnecessarily," &c.

Mr. O'Sliea said as the mover for the inquest hedid so not for the purpose of ascertaining the causeof the man's death, which was apparent, but with aview to have those two reports sent in by Dr.Burkitt inquired into. He (Mr. O'Shea) believedhe was right in Siiy iug these reports were such nshe (Dr. Buikitt) would not seud to the boardagain.

Mr. Hassard asked why 1 He did not see whatgrounds there were fur saying so.

Mr. O'Sliea—Because no paid officer of the boardshould complain of being sent for in a ense of thiskind.

Mr. Pcct said the object was by a side-wind toincul pate Dr. Burkitt.

Mr. O'Sliea denied Mr. Peet's statement , andobserved the contrary was the fact.

Captain Power said he considered they had toomany inquests there.

Mr. Richardson said he was opposed to the hold-ing of the inquest, as he considered it unnecessary,but he should still say he was sorry Dr. Burkitt hadsent up such n report. • The motion for an inquestwent to a division , and was carried by the chairmanvoting for it. He (Mr. Richardson) thought it wasunfortunate that gentleman, himself a county magis-trate , should have done so.

Aid. Keily said lie did not think it was, at all ,unfortunate. He (Aid Keily) had voted for themotion because he felt it was desirable to have thewhole circumstances fully explaincd,'.and from whathas transpired ho felt they were justified in callingfor that inquiry.

The Chairman said the question was not whetherthey were, or were not, called on to have thatinquest. In his opinion he felt the letter of Dr.Burkitt was an injudicious one, and ought not tohiive been written.

Dr. Elliott said they were often called to attendwhen no necessity existed for such a call being madeou them.

Mr. Bloomfield said his op inion was that nu onebut the doctor had a right to take on hinuclf to de-termine whether a man was in a (ly ing state or not.

Mr. Richardson said in any sudden case it wasclearl y the duty of ilie doctor to attend when cailcdon, but in chronic cases, when no remedy conld avail , itwas unnecessary to carry uut such a rule.

Dr. Klliott said every morning passing tho enhance of Ibebouse, his rule invariably was to ask, " Is there auythiug forme ?" Returning he did the same, and in tbo eveniug bewent through all the wards. If anything sudden or unfore-seen should occur, he should feel it his duty to attend sucha c?se at any time, and both Dr. Burkitt and himself alwaysdid so.

Col. Roberts was about proposing a motion prohibiting themalu uursu from giviug stimulants at all to patiauts , but

Air. Peat, Capt. Hamilton , and others observing that inextreme cases it would not be desirable to prevent such apower beiug exercised, the gallant officer withdrew it.

On tbe reports, the followiug motion was put and azreedto, on motion of Dr. llackcsy, secouded by M. Hassard, M.P.:

" Resolved—Having read tho reports of Dr. Burkitt audthe master relative to tbe death of John Connolly, tbe boardis of opinion that there was not any neglect ou the part ofthe officers of the house."

THE KEW EATB.The Clerk brought up his cstimato for tbe new rate for

ratification by tlie board.Mr. Hally said for the coming year they would have no

emigration to meet, nor, he hoped, any new buildings toerect , and he was of opinion they could reduce the wholeestimate by twopence iu tho pound. He would proposethey should do so.

The Clerk reminded the board that ou tbe 35th of Marchthey would bo in debt o«r £1,OW, and also that tbe out-door relief would be a very heavy item iu their expenditure,judging from -the past year, iu fact, as it stood, tbaestimate was too low. Ib'or tbo last year the out-r«lief hadamounted to upwards of £1,300, aud they should take thatrelief into their serious consideration in connection with theestimate. Ho had only estimated for tho ,coming year onthat point what it cost last year, as bo felt he would uot bejustified in doing more without tbe authority of the guar-dians, but be should state tho board would do well to calcu-late for a large expenditure uuder that head, as large, if uotlarger, than what they had already incurred.

Mr. K. Powe r reminded the board that the sold cause oftbo out-relief amounting so high arose from tue fact of thobad season with which they had been visited last year. Ifnext year would be as bad they should be prepared to meeta similar emergency.

Mr. O'Dwyer said representing, as ho did :i rural division,Kilmacavogue, he felt it to be his duty to impress on theguardians to remember the impoverished condition of thefarmers at the present moment. He did not see what theywanted more than to have barely so much money as woulddo them for the year. What did they want with a balanceat their bankers to induce buildings thoy did not require ?The government made them bnild a registry office tbis year,costing over £100, and that money, he regretted to add,had to come, aud mo9t unjustly ho believed, out of theratepayers' pockets. He certainly felt they conld not be tooeconomical in the estimate they would adopt. He wouldpropose they shouid strike off two pence iu tbo pound.

Mr. J. Carroll s-iid he would second such a proposition.Mr. Manning said ho did not concur in the principle of es-

timating for a coming year on tbe badness of a past year. Hecould tel l the board, aud. bo need uot inform the chairman,that tho small farmers were very badly off now, and theywere not able to meet their March rents, in many instauces.They ought to strike as low a rate as possible.

Mr. Bioomfield considered they could afford to reduce theestiujiite by twopence in tho pound, as proposed. They diduot

^ require to bavo money lying to their credit.

('apt. Dillon said he felt that out-door relief having somuch increased, they should take measnres to reduce it.

Mr. Richardson expressed his conviction that, with a dueregard to the carrying ou of their \msiness for the next yenr,they could not feel justified iu reduciug the moderate esti-mate laid before them by the clerk. Many ratepayers in thecity, he was sorry to be obliged to say, wore unable, owinsto the pressure of the times, lo meet the demauds ou them,and tlut melancholy f;ict was, in itsel f, proof of the neces-sity for striking the rate according to the estimate they nowbad before them.

TIIE EXPENSES OF THE REQI8TRAT1ON ACT.A caie having been submitted to Right HOD .

A. Brewater, Q.C., by direction of the board ofguardians, for bis opinion as to the whether theywere bound to erect a strong closet, with registryoffice, iu accordance with the direction of the regis-trar-general, he following is a copy of theopinion :—

" The guardians are bound to provide out of tbe rates aregister office, according to a plan to be approved, of by theregiitrar-gcoaral ; the law has made him the judge of what isnecessary for tbe requirements of tbe office, and has notentrusted the decision of the matter to the guardians. Theyarc, therefore, in my opinion, bouud to submit to the controlof tho registrar-general, and to provide a register office BUCIIas ho requires. Considering tbe importance which thelegislature attaches to a perfect system of registration , itseems not unreasonable tbat tbe utmost precaution should betaken to preserve the evidences of it. Tbe circumstancethat tho Poor Law Commissioners concur in opinion withthe registrar-general as to ths necessity for a fire-proof andstrong room, tends strongly to prove that it is requisite ; butwhether it be so or not, is really immaterial, as tbe law hasmade the registrar-general the sole judge of that matter.

from a contractor, named Fitzgerald, complaining (bat tbeguardians, lit their previous meeting, gave the tea coutractto a competitor n.imcd Ryan, although his price was 2d. perlb. lower than the former. Tbat is, Fitzgerald's price was2i. Od. per lb., and Ryan's 2s. 8d. Some of tbe guardianswho were present on tbe previous day stated tbat Mr. Ryan'stea was considered 2d. better that Mr. Fitzgorald's, and thatwas the reason why the coutract was so disposed of.

Tbe commissioners gave it as their opinion that tbe guar-dians were uot, iu auy case, bound to tako tbe lowest tender,that it was their right to use their discretion on such mat-ters, aud that they (the commissioners) could not iuterfere.

ADMIRALTY COURT— W I.DNESUA T .COLLISION.—The City of Paris, of South #'«/«.«-This is

a cause of collision instituted by tue Harrow NavigationCompany agaiutt tbis stcamir, for running ngu'nst anilinjuring their tug. a screw steamer, on the 13th of .Januarylast, in the Suir, wlmn employed, in tho course of theirinland navigation , iu proceeding from Waterford to StMullens, ou the Barrow, in charge of two lighters, oue ofwhich was sunk iu the collision, and tbe other materiallyiujured, iu which damages were laid at £525. The pleaof the defeudauts ivas—•' That tbe lights which the steamtug did carry were insufficient, improper, and calculated tomislead and did mislead those on board tbe said steamer."The case was argued two days last week, aud ou WednesdayJudge Kelly, assisted by Captain Robinson. R.N., aud Capt.,Crosby, M.S., as assessors, delivered judgment on thu fourissues as follows :—To the first question—We are clearly otopinion tbat tbe red aud green lights wero not placed otithe port aud starboard sides of the tug, in accordance vritlithe rule, and as it was the duty of tbe master of the tu<*tu have placed them—a duty be was the more bound tohave observed from the circumstaucc of his having a lighterlashed at each side of the tug. Wo make uo comment outhe positisn of the white light, other thau even whero itwas a proper relative height with respect to the sido lightswould have been obtained for it bad tbe latter been placedou their respective sides of tbe tug in a line with tbe rail.We aro further of opiuion that uo circumstances existed iuthe case which rendered a departure from tbe rule withregard to the side lights necessary. To the second question—Wo have already stated that the red aud whito lightswere improperly placed, and we now suy that the lightsof tbe tug were iiisufficient, tbe white light alone showingup to the laat moment before tbe collision. We entertainuo doubt tbat this was calculated to mislead tbo peopleon board tbe steamer—the whits light alone showing andappearing for so many minutes stationary—a stationarywhite light being thp specified light for vessels at anchor.Ts tbe tbitd question—Tho vessels wero coming nearly endon, so as to involve risk of collision, aud tbe duty of eachTeasel, under tho rule, was to havo poricd her helm. Totbo fourth questiou—Wo attribute thu collision to bothvessels—to the tug for the insufficiency and misleadingeffects of her lights—to tha City of Paris for uot havingported and slowed, aud reversed in time, when she had thetug two points ou her atarbord bow. Both parties beingthus fouud to be in tbo fault, the whole damage and ce»tsof suit hero on both sides rauit be borne equally betwejuthem, and my decree is to be made np accordingly.* Advocates for tbe petitioners—Dr. Towrwoud and Dr.Corvigan. Proctor—Mr. Lee. Advocates for the defendant—Dr. Todd, Dr. Cbafterton, Q.C. ; Dr. lilrington. Proctor—the CJucen's Proctor.

O'er tha dew-painted landscape the ruorning is stealing.And wild in its calmness the waterfalls roar ;

The millstrcam is gushinc, tho church bells are pealing.And fragrant tlio air sccnU along the green shore

The Bong birds aro warbling, all nature looks blooming,The sun's bright gleam rushes through woodland and bower

The lambs o'er the lawn of the manor are bleating,And gambolling with pleasure near Troy's faded Tower.

And down from the sand banks the still stream is moving,'Tis the fishers returning—bow swiftlj they glido.

How bright in the sunshine their paddles are gleaming,And their daughters still watch every 6plash on tho tide.

Far away on the green sward the milk pails arc shining ;The reapers are coming, they're smiling with joy,

And the lay of the shepherd is now softly humming,With the calm brceio of summer, near old Castle Troy.

And lrhen the da/ brightens, how glad, how deligh t ful ,Tho little birds sing in tho sun'9 golden ray;

There's joy in each :«eadow , how brisk and how cheorfulKitinurray 's fair maids spread the newly-cut hay.

Down by tho clear stream tho sportsmen sit baiting.The gay and the beautiful skip through each glade ,

And joyful and happy some bright merry meetingIi here by the young folk in summer time made.

And wheu the eve closes, the vesper bells ring,How calm, how delightful , the silence of night;

The fields are deported , the birds no more sing,Tho gay have dispersed, all is peaceful and iiuiot ;

But the waters still roar far away o'er the stream,The fishermen come to their labour with joy,

And the ni sht is so hricht'nig, their paddles still gleamIn the mooulight , how lovely, near old Castle Troy.

Ah ! yoy, in the moonbeams, hoir beautiful still ,How lovely each bower by that sweet riverside ;

Through each glale , on each green mound how joyful to dwell ,When tho silver light gleams o'er tho beautifu l tide.

M i&tellmxexL O C A L I T Y IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.—The Pans

correspondent of the Evangelic New York World,writes as follows to that journal :—"There are nopews nor permanent seats in the Roman Catholicchurches of Paris, but instead of these, plain rush-bottomed chairs , each one having a prie dleu (asmall low chair to kneel upon), in front of it. These,nt all the services , whether mass, sermon, or vespers,arc free to nil who pay the sum of three sous, whichis collected by women standing at the entrance.Those in (he outer aisles are rented at two sous thesitting, and those who can't afford the luxury of a seator who are too economically inclined to disbursethe required sum, can find plenty of standing room.At first view this payment of money for a seat in atemple dedicated to the worsh ip of God seems ratherincongruous, and affects rather unpleasantly onewho has been in the habit of walking into bis ownpew without let or hindrance. But then it has itsadvantages. Any one who possesses the requiredsum, is sure of a seat if he goes early enough, andit does not depend upon the "gentlemanly andobli ging .sexton ;" nor is he liable to be frowned outof somebody's pew in which he may have placedhimself by mistake, and from which kc is requestedto retire by a shower of daggers which are lockedat him by the leg itimate occupants. There is a de-mocracy, too, an equality, such as there shoul d bein the house of God,' resulting from this system,which , I must confess, I rather like. The positionon the iloor of the church depends , in no manner,upon the quality of a man's coat, or the color of hisface. All that is required is that he be decentlydressed , and that he possesses thrca sous; and , onthe floor of that grand old cathedral , on Sundaylast , were workmen in their blue blouses, sittingside by side with men in high position in the govern-ment, and with noblemen and men of wealth. Thenitvrierc who had been all the week ply ing bevneedle and sewing her eyes out , in some bluck gar-ret of the Latin quarter , was scaled by the side ofa countess with be-jewcllcd fingers; and a woolly-headed African , just in the front of me, occupied achair by the side of a gentleman decorated with thejjrnnd cross of the Leg ion of Honor. Might not weProtestants learn a lesson from the Catholics, in thefacility with which admission is obtained into thechurches , and in the equality of all in the presenceaf C. od? "

M\,; fj on. Sherman has been assigned lo the com-

sagnculturrTURNIPS left; occupying the land during the win-

ter, as is the practice of many, iihould now be pulledand stored, as henceforth vegetation will be rapid ,and the exhaustion of the soil certain, which will besensibly felt in the after crops.

SFRINO WHEAT should be got in without delay ,if not already sown.

WINTER -SOWN WHEATS should be well rolled andharrowed some time during the month, according asthey are more or less forward , always taking care todo it in dry weather ; breaking the weather-beaten ,winter-formed crust, and moulding the plant will beof much advnntage. Towards the end of the month ,grass and clover seeds may be sown where intendedto lay the land down with heat.

OATS.— In all early, warm soils the sooner oatsare sown the better, but in cold, damp, nnJ back-ward soils it may be put off till the end of this, orthe beginning of the next month with advantage.Onts on lea are frequently sown broadcast on widelands, and harrowed in , but in many localities theland is ploughed in narrow beds, from 8 to 10 feetwide , and lightl y harrowed—the seed sown , andthen well harrowed ; the furrows are then eitherdug with the spade, or cut with the furro w-plough,pulverised with a drill-harrow or grubbtr , andtrenched up with the shovel ; unless the ploug hingis very well executed in the first mode, and I he landclean , much of the seed will be buried so deep asnever to vegetate. The latter mode , though a littlemure expensive, is much the best in foul and badlyploug hed land. Jn broken and clean land , wlierethe intention may be to sow clover and grass seedswith the corn crop, the better mode will bo lo eitherrib for or drill in the seed at 18 to 24 inches apart.

BEANS should be sown as early in the month aspossible, if not got in last month. Beans may besown broadcast under the harro w , if the land beclean und rich , or drilled in at 28 to 30 inch inter-vals. If the land has to be manured, the lattermode is to be preferred , as it affords room for horfe-hoeing, and is an admirable preparatory crop forwheat.

PEAS of every descri ption should now bi: sown—the earlier the better : they may be somi eitherbroadcast , or in drills, like the beans. Light,moderately rich soils are best suited for peas.

BARLEY in li ght, dry, rich , and warm soils maybe sown by the middle of the month. The seedrequires a li ght and close cover ; the surface of theland should , therefore, be finely pulverized for itsreception. Barley is by far the best crop to sowamall seeds with , from the smaller quantity offoliage, it bears in comparison with the other cereals ,and the shorter time it occup ies the ground.

SrRiNc V ETCHES . — A breadth commensuratewith requirements should now be sowu to succeedthose sown last month. A little oats or rye , and 3or 4 lbs. of rape per Irish acre , should be sownwith them ; they serve to keep the crop off theground , and materiall y increase the bulk of greenfood.

'P A R S N I P S require a deep, rich, clayey soil , notwet , to grow them lo perfection. The manureshould have have been applied in the autumn , andploughed in. The seed may be sown either in bedsor raised drills , 2S inches apart , like turnips. Par-sni p and carrot seeds take a long time to germinate ;and if the seeds are bad it leads to disappDintment ,the fault not being discovered in time to remedythe evil by fresh sowing.

CARROTS may be sown by the middle or end ofthe month. They delight in a li ght, saidy, richsoil. The preparation differs in no way from thosedirected above for parsni ps.

CABBAGES of the flat Dutch , early York , and non-pureil varieties should be sown now in tich , well-prepared beds, to plant out the latter end of Mayand in June.

CABBAGE PLANTS should now be planted out fromthe hursery-bcds.where they have stood nil the win-ter, to where they are to stand for a crop.

POTATOES should be planted without delay, as thetubers will be vegetating ; and the more growththey make before planting, the less vi gorous will betheir growth afterwards. When the land is dry,and previousl y well prepared by tho necessarycross-plong hings, harrowings , rollings, or grubbings,drilling the sets in will be the most economical , andthe produce abundant ; but where the land is damp,or the produce required very early, those planted inlazy beds will have the advantage.

EWES lambing, or in lamb, should now have amoderate supply of turni ps given them, with freeaccess to hay. Let the shepherd remove any woolthat may be found on the udder, legs, or ether partslikel y to come in contact with the lamb's mouth inits eagerness to suck. Many lambs are lost yearl yby inattention to this simple remedy, as the lambsswallow particles of wool ; the milk , on becomingmixed with the latter as it coagulates , forms com-pact curd y balls in the stomach , impossible todigest , and sooner or later destroys the animal.Great attention and care will be required , andshelter provided for the ewes and new-born lambsagainst frost and cutting winds .

FAT A N D FATTING W ETHERS A ND STALL -FED

CATTI K should have abundance of fool suppliedthem at this period , and great regularity in theirfeeding hours attended to, and the animals keptthoroughly clean.

M ILCH Cows, Titosn N'r.wLV C.ILVED , AXBSTRINGERS should have more than ordinary attentionpaid them during the harsh Jand piercing weather ofspring—the milkers to have sufficient succulentfood , with hay, to keep them to their rr.ilk ; thosenewl y calved lo be kept comfortable, and out of theway of chilling draughts, and given moderate sup-plies of cooked , succulent food until they recover ,and come graduall y to their milk , and earl y spring-ers to have a limited supply of roots, with abund-ance of hay.

PIGS.—The fatting pigs should get as much as theycan cat, but as soon as they are satisfied removewhat remains. As they approach maturity,graduall y reduce the quantity of succulent food andincrease the quantity of grain, to harden the flesh.Sows , with their litter , should be kept warm anddry, and get frequent supplies of succulent , nu-tritious food, to promote growth and ear'.y maturity.

H ORSES should now and henceforth be on full andgenerous keep. Oats and beaus should not now bogiven with a niggard hand. When well fed theymay be well worked without reducing th;ir stamina.The contrary will tell against them when the pinchcomes.

M ANURES .—Compost heaps should be well turned,and their components well broken und mixed.Fresh farm-yard manure , bog earth, &c , should boin a continual process of banking, saturated withli quid manure, and well covered with earth to ab-sorb and prevent the escape of ammonia.ODDS AND ENDS .—New fences and planting quicks

should be finished off without delay, as also plashingand lay ing ; scour out ponds and wa'.er-courses ;make and repair roads; clean and earth osier beds,and plant new osieries ; cut turf for fuel ; and attendto irri gating, draining, and subsuiling, where thoseimprovements are necessity.

SPLKN'IC APOPLKXY IN CATTLK.IO 1BY. F.DITntt OF THE AOICICl'I/rCBAL KKVIEW.

Slit—TJIE disea-e iii cattle, railed Splenic Ajmjilcxy, liasbecome more prevalent than usual of late year!. An articlein your paper lias called my attention to tho subject, :ind in-duces me to make the following remarks :—

I had tlnee cases of it in the spring of lHii l. Two provedfatal ; the otber recovered. The strongest taiws were at-tacked liy it. The symptoms were verti go, pailial blindness,and convulsions. The animals died in twelve hours. I triedmany remedies at random, not knowing what might be thematter, find not having sera anything:of HID kind before ;blecdiug, laudanum, rubbinx the legs, and aperients were triedto no purpose on the two first cases.

The third cow was treated differently—friction 011 the ex-tremities mid en the back, to keep up the circulation. Thecow was then slung on canvas , nailed to two rules ; tho polessuspended from the roof of the house. The standing positiongave the nuitual tuoro power to resist the spasms in the extre-mitics.and the convulsions always returned with more violenceif the beast were allowed to lie down. Hut the only success-ful remedy was a warm shower bath ! Some hay wasstuffed between the canvas sling and the animal 's side*, InOlder to retain the water^ncar the Irady as long as possible,iind warm water was poured from a keltic along the spine,from the Rhoulder to the tail , for at least half an hour, nttlie end of which time tho cow was able to take a large mashof bran. Warm farinaceous food was given for a weok , andit wan well ; but the warm bath and the rubbing were con-tinued for a low hours, when auy symptoms of spasms ap-peared.

As far as I can judge, the cause appears to he acidity inthfl pasture. It took place in the month of April. Thepasture was new, tbe grass luxuriant , being * irrigatedduring the previous winter , and manured tlm former springwith superphosphate, containing, of course, sulphuric acid.It was not the irrigation or the manuro that was to blame,hut the mismanagement iu putting the cattle on before thograss was ripe. And to aggravate the mistake, the cowswere put out at uight , and got no hay or dry warm food.I have continued the irrigation aud manuic as before, buthave no fear for the result , as the cattle arc offered hay oncea day until .fune, and they eat it freely.

The moisture of our climate tends to cause acidit y in thepasture. It requires more lime on the surface and in thecoil. Tbe Und referred to above had got 110 lime for twenty-five years before, but the splenic apoplexy taught a lessonnot to be forgotten. 1 may observe, the soil is ou a redsandstone, partly moist, but drained. I felt confident at thetime that the disease is not contagious. The first caso Wasin tbe cow-house, amongst tho cattle ; the second in ,1 field»-. ...i.:»i, fk« A«-C hart frpe acce.s». The first cow was buried.

HoRitiui E M URDER .— In December last , the townof Maiden, AJuss., was the scene of a trag ic occur-rence, which after two months has been cleared upby the detection of the perpetrator , he being noother than the postmaster of the town , and hisvictim an interesting young man, who held theoffice of cashier in a bank. It appears that Mr.Edward W. Green , the confessed murderer ofyoung Converse, had become embarrassed pecu.niaril y in relation to his post-office accounts, to suchan extent that the Department, last year, contem-plated removing him , which measure was only pre-vented by the influence of his townsmen. Shortl yafter this escape , he received 500 tlols. of the townmoney to purchase school books with. Tbe 500dols. served to strai ghten out his post accounts ,"caviix" him indebted for the books. This, withnumerous small deb's, so pressed upon him, that hewas led in November last to fire the post-officebuilding, hop ing, by its destruction , to pay debts ,somehow, that way. The fire w,is discovered andsubdued before it had reached the post-office , andso his purpose was frustrated. Meanwhile , his em-barrassments increased , and he must have formedthe deadly plan to murder his victim , and so pos-sess himself of the bank funds weeks before themurder was committed. He purchased a six-barrelrevolver , which he kept loaded in his office. Twodays before the deed of blood he carried tho weaponabout his person. On the morning of the murder,he went into the bank twice with the deliberate pur-pose to do the deed. His heart never failed him,but he was obliged to withdraw the first time becausea third party was present. The second time he firedtwo pistol shots into the head of the unsuspectingyouth , rifled the batik and then returned to theoltice. All this he has confessed to. Four thousanddollars of the stolen money have been recovered ,the balance has been paid to settle various accounts ,and he has launched into unusual extravagance.These payments and this extravagance , togetherwith his conduct in relation to the murder, fur-nished circumstantial evidence , which has resultedin the arrest of the murderer, who never left hispost.

Charles Chini qui , the famousFrench Canadian priest , who, with his Canadiancolony at St. Anne , Illinois , some years ago re-nounced the Catholic faith, and joined the Presby-terian Church , has been married to Miss EuphcmicAllard , of Kankakee county, Illinois.

IRISH CHURCH HEFORM-T1THB RENT CHARGE.TO It. 11. oSBOBHB, ESQ., M.P.

DBAB SIR —Trusting that the effort about to he mado in

the present session to carry somo measure of reform in tho

temporalities of the Irish Church will bo more successful

than heretofore, I am induced to offer yoa the following

suggestion!! with regard to one branch of that important

question, viz., the titho rent-chnrge. Whatever may bo tho

Creat mcasuro of church reform which you and your col-

leagues tnay think fit to introduce into parliament, I am

strongly of opinion that the rent-charge in Ireland should

be made a soporat o grouud for legislation. Its pressure is

particularly severe just now on the agricultural interest of

this country, when prices are so low, and I do believe, from

the able articles which I fee in the Times and tho other

English papers, that the people and tho press of Englandnro ilicnnsml. as far as they cm, to assist in relieving us fioin

rr.rssxTiri.'ff'K:, 2vs3.make reductions to Iris tenants, also to employ the labourers

remunerative wages. You are, doubtless, aware that ,under the original act regulating '"'« »•"•«"» oftbo titte"cut-charge, tile 4th George IV., chap. 09, it was competent

for pa "ties interested to vary the amount every third year,

from t me to time, « from the 1st of November next. ensn-

SHbo date of the certificate" granted by tho commissioners.This however , can only be taken advantage of by those theamount of whose tithe rent-charge had been fixed by a cert.-Z, tinted before the 17th June, 1824, when the 6thGeorge IV., c. 03, came into operation, making all rent-charges subsequently ascertained variable ouly every seventhnr fourteenth vcar after tho day from which the compositionfor tithe had commenced. Thus, we Have two sets ottithe rent-charges in Ireland , many of which are verydifficult to be ascertained , whother they belong totho triennial or septennial period of variation , onaccount of tlie difTcrenco of dates of original agree-ments for composition and the subsequent certificates.A question also would seem to nnsc whether, after fourteenyears elapsed under the last net, part.es arc not entirelydebarred from any further vat iation. Then, the machineryprovided and tho forms to be gone through under these sta-tutes arc very minute aud cumbersome, requiring great legalnicety amounting in many cases, to a practical impossiblelity in carrying out the law. A notice must be signed byat least three owners or occupiers of laud in the parish" chareed with" the payment of £3 or upwards each in res-pect of tho rent charge. Who those persons may be whoarc " charged" is a question which has given riso to a greatdeal of legal discussion, and has only been obscurely settledby a case (Thompson v. Shcil) before the late Sir MichaelO'liOnghlen, Milt., and by tho 7th, 8tb, Oth, and 10th sees,of the 1st and 2nd Victoria, c. 109, tho proper constructionof which requires great legal knowledge. The difficulty,however of procuring such signatures still exists, andamounts to an almost total prevention to putting tho act inforce The notice so signed must bo posted two Sundays iusuccession, between tho 1st of May and the 1st October, onevery place of worship in the parish, at least eight cleardays before the quarter sessions following. Then a memo-rial-is to he lodged, to the justices at quarter scssious, andproofs gone into from the Dublin Gaielta, of the variationsof prices of the different descri ptions of corn during the pre-vious three or seven years. The difficulty of carrying outthe niinuto particulars of these proceedings and forms is soexeat that any attempt at variation of tithe rent chargeat present would most probably bo defeated on the prelimi-naries, and if the quarter sessions decide against it on a pointof law (such as tho construction of persons " charged,") thoonly appeal left open is by the expensive proceeding of a pe-tition in the Holls Court. Somo years ago a case of this sortwas brought heforo Nicholas Purcell O'Gorman, Esq., thethen' chairman for the county of Kilkenny, when neither thememorial was lodged nor the proper notices posted, yet thochairman thought it better lo nlfoiv ilia variation , and leavethe other party to his appeal to the Holls, than to defeataltogether the objects of tho legislature. You can, thereforevnry easily understand how, on account of tho complexity of,and difficulty of complying with , the forms and neces-sary proceedings to bo taken in pursuance of tho acts relat-ing thereto, very few applications have been mude or success-fully carried out to vary the amount of titho rent cb.irccin this country. I mado an attempt myself in the year 1851to lmvc the averages taken and the rent charge varied, but bysome trifling mistake on the part of those employed I lostthat opportunity, whereas otherwise I should have succeededin reducing the rent-chargo in my parish, as tho prico of oats(the corn mentioned in tbe certificate) for seven years previ-ous was considerably less than that, namely, fourteen shil-lings and one halfpenny, tho amount originally filed liy thecommissioners when the composition was made. I am,therefore, obliged, out of lands in a parish , namely, Kihnac-league in this county, where there is not , not never has been,any l'rotestanl plr.cn of worshi p, or even a single Pnitcsliiutinhabitant , to continue paying the tithe rcnt-clini - irc, ns itthe price of oats were fourteen shillings and one half pennyalthough the price has now declined in our markets doivn to(Is., and in many districts much lower. And iu the adjoin-ing counties, where wheat , being the corn principally grown ,is taken as the standard, 1 find, in looking at the certificatesdeposited in tlio proper oftice, that in the cuunty of Tipperary,in several parishes, the vuluo per hand set down iu 1S2 1was ,t'l 18-5 . 8.Vd., and in 18M ill 12s. In the county Kil-kuuny, in like manner, the value set down in 1821, iu severalparishes, was €1 18s. 8jil. Some measure is wanted to givefair play to thepayor as well as the receiver of tithe rent charge ;it is enough to have the amount high , if the price of corn be so,but if the latter be low (as at present .when oats is only 9s a brl.and wheat 21s.), the former ought to be altered according ly.I liopo we shall yet sco the day when this burthen on thisimpoverished land shall be swept away altogether , at leastns fai- >is we (Roman Catholics) arc concerned. Our greatLiberator accepted the Irish church temporalities act onlyas an instalment, or a step towards a total abolition; ami,perhaps, as it is Scid by some persons, it was the onlygreat mistake of . his life, by which ho fixed upon us thisincubus. l!ut, ns Mr. Justice Slice has said in one ol hisable letters on the subject, " The Liberator was too wise,with all his devotion to his own faith , not to feel that aviolent disrup tion of the ties which have bound for centuriesto the religion of the state the landed proprietary andwealthy burgesses of Ireland would tear up its society bytlie very roots. He desired MO such revolution. A conscien-tious respecter of interests , ]ou which the just expectationsand arrangements of families had been framed—the spectacle-of Protestant clergymen, their wives and children in ragsund tatters—would have been no treat for him." Your namehaving been associated now for many years with this greatquestion of Irish ecclesiastical reform, I hope you will pressit forward till your efforts are crowned with success. I wouldventure to suggest that you and tho other great advocatesof this measure of relief niighl , while the tithe rent-chargeremains in Us present state, endeavour to introduce a. billor bills into parliament , similar to thoso brought forward inthe year 1851 by Messrs. Itland, Fitzgerald , nnd FrancisScully; one to simplify the taking and regulating the averageprices of agricultural -produce in the different markets ofIreland , and another to provide for the annual variation ofrent-charges in lieu of tithes. If the averages were taken atthe beginning of every year , and published in the DublinGazelle , tho receiver and payer of rent-chaigo could ,without being obliged to have recourse to lojf.il advisers,or to complicated and expensive proceedings, regulate theamount to be paid, as in tho case of iucome tax andpoor-rate. This syst em iraul<! be then very similar tothe self-acting princi ple in England, where tho titherent-charge is varied every year by averages of the prices ofcorn for the previous seven yea rs. It may, however , bobettor regulated in Ireland by an annual average, taken atthe different markets throughout tho country, on account ofthe relatively high fancy prices of grain in Dublin. Itssubsequent arrangement may ho nindo according to the con-venienco and interest of the payers and receivers ot tho titherent-charge. . It ought to be snfliciput , that ono personliable for tho rent-charge iu each parish should serve Anotice duly signed by him on the person entitled to receivethe amount, and thus <lu away with the necessity for thrcosignatures , which me nt present often impossible to obtaiir .Thi! amount then to be ascertained would depend upon asimple question of arithmetical proportion , not involvingmure difficulty than the method of fixing the poor-rate.The cumbersome proceeding of posting notices and present-ing inemoiials ought also to be done away with , as onlytending lo obstruct the nr.ictic.il operation of the law. Thusthc-ic would be a great facility afforded both to the payerand receiver of tithe icut-charge in ascertaining theirrights , ami the present roundabout system of mcmori.il-ini; the magistrates at quarter sessions, and afterwardsappealing by petiliou to the liolls, would no longer causeany obstruction to the urraiiKuinim t of the amount to be iui:l.It is another question whet her this charge upon Irish landl-hulder.s ought not to be removed altogether. If it were stillremaining in the shape of tithes to be assessed under tho oldsystem , there is no doubt that the people of this countrywould very soon get rid of it , or resolutely refuse to be sul>-jci-t to it at all. The suppwlors of the prcseut system, how.ever, may tell you that the Woman Catholics of lielund harebwiiiui; reconciled to it , and aris no lunger disposed to com-plain , and thai these rciit-cli:ii -^cs have become vested inter-ests, which (.aimot be Jone uwuy with ami pa.is with the landas chief rents. These views are erroneous; the Irish UommiCatholics can never be content that the wliolo ecclesiasticalrevenue of the country should be enjoyed by the clergy ofonly a small portion of its people, and do nut regard the rcnt-chargt! in any better light than the original tithe from whichit sprung.—1 am, dour sir, your's very truly,

How TO I)ini. r. IIoi.cs IN CH I N A .—When holesare required to ho drilled in china or earthenware ,for the purpose of rivetting it when broken , theusual method is to use a drill mado of a splinter ofdiamond set into a handle, and this is an effectualmode ; but as a diamond may not always be nthand for this purpose , it is useful to know thatboles may be worked in these materials without it.Procure u three-cornered file-, and harden it com-pletel y by making the end redhot and plung ingit into cold water ; then grind the point quite shurpon a grindstone , and af terwar ds on an oilstone. Then , with the point of this tool prick repeatedlyon the spot to be bored , taking care not to use toomuch violence , lest the object should break . In ashort time , or iu a fuw minutes, by the continuanceof the operation , a small conical piece will beforced out, not bigger than a pin 's head , and thehole may afterwards be widened by introducingthe point and working the file round.

—I shall not bo overstating a fact when I assertthat the concourse in front of every teeming publichouse was , taking numbers for numbers, as brutal ,und as loud and shameless in its expression of bru-tality, as any mob I have watched in front of theOld Bailey on the unhallowed eve of a hanging. Wholesale pillage has added a repulsive horror towhat was in its own nature purely tragic.

PETITION.A petition to parliament from the Kilkenny union

was read nnd adopted , pray ing that half the salariesof the medical ofticsrs , and tho entire salaries ofteachers attached to the workhouses in Ireland mayhe paid out of the consolidated fund, as in Eng land.

CASE l'Oll O P I N I O N OF COMMISSIONERS.A woman came before the board this day for ad-

mission , and stated that from the 7th September ,18G3 , to tho I7th March , I8(M, she lived out of theunion ; and that she was previousl y an inmate of theworkhouse , on the division of Dungarvau. Theboard desire to know whether they arc now tn deter-mine her chargeability according to the 2nd pro-viso to the first section of the 2.r)th and 2Uth Vic ,ca ,i. 8.'!, and charg e the relief on the Dunsnrvunelectora l division , to which she was in the first in-stance chargeable , or whether they are to charge iton the union under the ,'Srd provision to s;iid act.

SCHOOL ,A form was submitted by the schoolmistress to-

day, from the inspector of national schools, request-ing school statistics. The board after some shortdiscussion on tin' information required postponed theconsideration of such until tliey learn whether theschool requisites applied for to the national bond arc to besupplied to the workhouse schools. Iu reference thereto Mr.liyrne proposed , and Mr. Kennefick seconded, " That thucommissioners ol' education be requested to instruct theirinspector to examine the workhouse schools as foimorly."I'nsseil. TAXATION .

A lengthy and interestiuglctter was read from Mr. .lamesliyrne, of Dungarv.in, complaining of the heavy and unequaltaxation of some divisions of the union , as well as the heavyexpenditure of same, and urging the necessity of doingsomething to arrest the upward tendency ol taxation. Hesuggests the consolidation of twe nr three nt tlin neighbour-ing unions .is a movement in that direction. There wasmarked attention paid to the reading of the letter , but therewas no order made on it.

A L I'.OENU or A W KI .L.— There is a nicely finishedcircuitous byo road to the rere of the Dungarvanworkhouse , which is a handsome promenade insummer. It appears that a clergyman of this townwho is in the habit taking his walks for recreationalong this line of road , particularl y noticed here asmall well , the spring of which is continuall ybubbling like boiling water. On all occasions whenpassing it he mentally repeated , " God bless thatcharming little spring. " His recreative perambu-lations continued for some time, when one particularday he saw , apparentl y, a woman iu the act ofprayer at tbe well ; when he cume up he asked herwhat she was doing there, and her reply was, " Iam gray ing. " The clergyman put no further(j iiesiiiin to her, but continued his walk as usual.On his return he found her in the same position ,he put the same question to her again to which sherep lied us iu the former instance. In some timeafter, the same rev. gentleman , passing the way,found the same person iu her former position ; heput the originnl interrogatory, when she, in reply,told him to leave her alone , she was in prayer , andthat (hat well waa mentally blessed by a holy priestiu Dungurvan , he being the individual himself.These words, and the manner in which the}' wereexpressed , sank deepl y into the heart of a clergy-man whose piety, energy, aud zeal in the cause ofreli gion , morality, and virtue huve been well knowniu this locality . The good aud patriotic priest lostno time in getting the well in question beautifull yund tastefull y settled up some short time ago , sur-rounded by a neat wall about three feet high, the in-equalities filled up with materials which broug ht iton ii level with the road , the surface well g'ravelledand finished in a superior manner. There are verynice dwarf shrubs planted by the side of the wall ,ami on the exterior some handsome wood trees,which , in a short time, will be most ornamental inthe place. A very handsome cross is erected to therere of the well , with usual letters inscribed thereon,The well is about three feet by two feet , and thearea of the ground surroMiided by the wall , about'M0 square feet. When all was completel y finished ,the rev. ecclesiastic blessed and dedicated it to thepatro n saint of Ireland. Parties fr.mi many parts are con -tinuall y visitins the place, to perform nome certain pil-rrimu'^c ou three dilferent occasions, each for the cure ofthe ailment with which they aro afflicted , mid After the thirdvisit the ailment , whatever it may be, is entirely removed.This is no hearsay, as your correspoiuk'nt and many othershave witnessed what is here fctuted. The limbs of thosedwarf t rees arc now nearly covered with strips of linen leftby the parties so cured. Ou Patrick's Day last, there wns avery handsomely shaped circular representation of a Crownof Thorns, composed of the greenest boxwood, interwovenwith sliamrucka , placed on the Cross, mid in the centre adrawing, in frame-, of the National Saint, beautifully andrichly colored. On each arm of the cross WAS placed a smallone, made of the same matcri.il as that of the Crown , allhaving a most pleasing effect. A large number of personsvisited tbe place.

THE SHORT-HORN INVASION.T« THE EDITOR OP THE IRISHMAN.

SIR—Our public writers seem to be convinced thatcows and bulls with Bhort horns are driving the smallfarmers and laborers out of the country. Tbe reason-ing faculties of the Celtic race appear to be measuredby a very low standard, for we find that bold assertionand clamor are made to pass for argument, and thatevery man who calls himself a patriot insists on beingbelieved even when ho calls black wliito.

The nationalists liave taken it into their heads thatagricultural societies have been organised for the espe-cial purposo of bsmishing the people, to make wayfor cattle. Let us see if this he true. It is assertedthat prizes are given for tho improvement of the vaiiousbreeds of cattle, while the small farmers arc exter-minated or discouraged. In order to decide the point,we have only to ;go to a cattle show and watch theproceedings. There we find prizes given for improvedimplements of husbandry, and also for the best greencrops.

All parties admit that tillage gives more employmentthan pasture, for one herdsman will care hundreds ofacres. No premiums are given for white or corn crops,because they naturally follow the green crops ; but theproduce of the former depends on tbe gooO cultivationof tbe latter. Therefore tho best way to promote em-ployment is to encourage the growth of green crops,which likewise promote the fertility of the soil , inbeing converted into manure when consumed on thefarm. Now, it is an undoubted fact that all the localsocieties encourage improved farming implements andgood cultivation of soil.

But some wiseacres say the landlords only want tofind out what can be made of laud, in order to raise therent, or to evict. That is all either an illusion or afalse pretence : for, if any gentleman wants to knowthe value of land, lie has only to farm a, few acres onhis owu account ; or, if ho desircsto evict , or rack rent,ho need not go to the " circumlocution" of a caitleshow. In fact, rack-renters anil exterminators syste-matically avoid making an appearance at publicgatherings.

Others assort that beasts are pampered and menneglected. Tbe reverse id tlio fact. Young stock can-not be profitably reared unless they aro carefully at-tended to and fed ; nor fat cattle winter-fed without aregular staff of farm Isiliorers to supply roots and fod-der, which involves the production and cultivation ofcrops, and the giving of extensive employment. Meregrass-fed beasts are not sent to cattle shows ; or theydon't take prizes there. In fact, cattle-show animalsrequire no pasture for tho time being. They ennnot bekept without the employment of hands ; and yet themen who give this employment are held up as enemiesto the public good. And patriotic writers acquire vastpopularity by trying to write down agricultural enter-prise and skill.

It is a fact, well known to farmers, that the improvedbreed of short-born cattle require shelter ami attend-ance, while Kerry cows and the native breeds willthrive abroad in a stato of nature. National , patrioticand libera l writers, in Ireland, condemn farmingsocieties and improved husbandry. They arc neverfound saying a word against bail farming or norse,ranos. Why ? They make public opinion , and thenreflect it. It .seems to be treason to Ireland to go to nrattle show, or to improve the system of tillage ; but it isquite jolly and popular to get drunk at a horse-race.

Another graud objection is put forward , viz. —That ten-ants are indnccd to make improvemeut 5, and then advantageis taken of their efforts. Why, half the farms of Irelandrequire no improvements in draining or building ; but agreat many want improved management in pasture, culture ,and stock. Pasture managed with more judgment : tillageconducted with more foresight and a greater ecouumy oflabor ; cat Ho selected with ability, and bred withmore care ; and these thicc points involve no extraoutlay of capital , but tho reverse. Thn ne^bct oft/ic.-e three points lias sent many a sttisill f armer nutof the country, or to tlio poorhmise, and all the whilethey have been warned to shun agiicultural suciuties.They have been told that funning societies sire si certainsnare for their destruction. And an elaborate oupr.iviiij ; hasbeen published by some patriotic genius called " the invasionof thu short-horns," in which the peasantry sirs ¦-¦•• .rwuiedas retiring before thn attack of the " Ucastocracy." Such across humbug would not be played off on any other peoplein Europe, or in-any other country than iu Ireland , by theirown loving friends and brothers.

Iu any other nation a man would not bo belii-viM i il hosaid to a farmer, "avoid an itnprovutl breed of cnltli', .shungood stock , good implements , good seed, good in.-in.-ij -'fiiinit:hug ignorance and prejudice, and then you need not fearpoverty or extermination!"

The esticme or advanced Irish nationalists of our timeset themselves up as being the most enlightened and patrioticleaders we ever h?d. O'Coiinell was an .us iu their eyes,and his followers fools, fiut what arc we 'o ex peel of anation whose public writers run a muck at common senseand common decency, so fur as to denounce and decry agri-cultural progress iu a country depending chiefly ou agri-culture ? It U no wonder that the world riu-js with the cryof the Irish exodus. It is no wonder that the flax growers ofthe south should beg of the government to solid theminspectors to tench them.

This wliolo question of agricultural progress turns on thesimple point , " will it pay i" A reckless and lavish expendi-ture wont pay ; but good cattle will have more profit thanbad ones, and the economy of labor is clearly so much moneys.ivcd. A thorough knowledge of his business B a< iu lis-piuiaiblo to a fanner as to a merchant, aud it gives him adecided advantage over all those who sire slaves to igooiaucoand prejudice.

The most extensive and intelligent farmois aro everstndyine how to improve on their present system ; they feelthankful for the best hint; they note, observe, compare anddigest. Hut the small fanner has clear, enlightened , andp.itriolic friends, who sagaciously advise him to lag behindand stop in the dork !! Tho hirge fanners generally havetho advantago of capital , skill , intelligence, aud machinery.No wonder the small farmer should shrink from the com-petition ; but he hns good advisers ! They stronglyrecommend him to hold back , while the world goes a-bcail ,and to bewarenfthc ''.Short-horn Invasion and lie.islocracy."A. f orlunali agricolos, bona si sun novint. O jolly fanners,if you only knew how lucky you are in your guides. Theywill cure all your maladies by revolutions sind I'hauiixSocieties ; revolution will banish the potato blight , and nutlong horns on all your cows 1

Cattle shows are cither good or bad. If they arc l«d theywill ruin tliDir jotrojis, the landlords, aud the small farmerswill escape from their evil influence ; so patriots need nottako tho matter to heart liutif they bo good, smd necessarytu advance the practical knowledge and intelli gence of themembers, then the small fanners may look upon theirpatriotic and enli ghtened guides as the cause of theirdestruction. Some persons imagine that '' knowledge ispower ," lint our moou-shinc politicians assure their dupesthat " ignorance is bliss."

A man need not bo a philosopher or a uictsiphysicinu toknow a good cow or sheep from a had one, and yet themajority of fanners stre not good judges of them, whichmust be si great loss to them. Hut if n metaphysician willcondescend to Jc.ive his libim y anj go to a f. i it he will secthat the fattest cuttlo on the green arc tilt! short-horns.Aud then , if he will deign to enquire if they pay theowners , lie will find that a well-bred yearling will go tu theprico of six pounds, when one of the common breed, rearedou the same keep, will hardly realise four. In fact he willfind out that the rearing of well bred stock is one of Ihemost lucrative branches of farming at the present time.Hut then , what can be done by the peasantry r All theleading putiiuts of our nalion arc just going to taki! up arms'against " the Invasion uf thu Short-horns."

Take the following fact into consideration : A poor mannear iVatcrlurd keeps a well nre<l cow, and he sulls a yearlinganmully at seven pounds. This would pay the rent of sixacres ol medium land , and leave tho remainder of the pro-duce fur his support, lie looks upon the invasion of theshort-horn* as ;i Iuck 3' aggression. Hut what cvm be the useof stilling lads or of reasoning with men who .stand upmagnanimously as the advocates of ignorance, politicalsensation-writers who seem determined to " split the carsof thogrcuiidliii ^s" with rautipole philanthropy ?

Tho Irish are mainly dependent ou agriculture for sub-sis tenet; and prosperity. It is to be hoped that trade andcommerce will soon come to their aid s but until then, usagriculture is the chief source of employment for millions, itis deeply to be lamented that iutmial dissension or thespirit of faetioti should attempt to come between tho peopleand their welfare. Vet, so it is. Farming societies shouldstand clear ol politics and polemics ; and so they do gene-ral ly, "* f«r »s I have heard : but the dinners which usuallyfollow cattle shows are ofteu usod as places for politc.il ilis-p|ny. Those dinners could very well be held without givingthe health of a Lord Lieutenant, who for the time beingmight be very unpopular. For my part , though loyal to herMajesty the Queen und to the Constitution , I look on LunlCarlisle and tho Government of Lord Piilmerston os bitterand unrelenting foes to Ireland. Nor can I perceive whatthe fanners of this country owe to the Army and Xsiry ofEngland, for whose support they are taxed. I believe thatthese ' toasts ami speeches have much to do with makingfanning societies unpopular with certain classes, and withour advanced nationalists. If the health uf his lloliucss thePope, or that of John Mai tin , or Smith O'liiion , weio pro-posed sit cattle show dinners , it would be taken as an insult.Politics nnd polemics should be excluded. Evcu the all-important question of Tenaut-ri«ht might find a more suit-able platform" for its eiposition than a cattle show baurmet.Agnculturo is not merely nutioDiil , or provincial—it is world-wide ; it is the graud mcaus by which the Almighty suppliesall His children with food. The great laboratory of natnroshould be held peculiarly sacred, sis being the especial domaiuof Omnipotence, where tho hand, of a loving Father is per-ceived at work , in the decay and renovation of organicmatter, whereby all living things are provided with tho ne-cessaries of life. If thoro ho oue occupation on earth suggest-ive of peace and good will to roau, it ia that of him whotends the flocks and herds, or delves the stubborn soil. Andsurely when a few are privileged, with the consent of theirfellow-men, to possess tho fee simple of a country, theyshould hold il, honourably, not selfishly for themselves alone,but also for their brothers ; or, if they meet to encourageindustry or to reward merit, charity and boucvoclonc shouldpreside nt the board, and men of all ranks and of all classedshould be welcome to enter, and thoro feel themselves athome,

talenti with which God has enriched him to attain an hon-orable independence. The small faamcra now 'remaining inIreland, who have contended successfully with'; the-unex-ampled difficulties of the last twenty yean,; wonld be anHonor to any country in Europe. They have passed tbronjjlia dreadful ordeal ; they should he cberinhed, encouraged,ana piotected. But in order to do that effectnully a' YounsjMen s Society, combined with a Farming Society'ghould'beorganised m every rural parish in Ireland. If «&,,, who™ *l "T*V\and-J>7wVo*ldttop the exollv,lf eelincli,>edto serve them, thu U ihsir worTc.h. il, Zi* e-nlill8d to P«>*«*«»> "either aboald capital•JcStTh*!"1

i?Ut *. ?»«Mlht, or long lease,, orsecurity m some shape is indispensiblu to a full developmentot program. But no system of tenant-right, and no amountot security will ever keep one solitary tenant in his holdingnow-a-days without adtquat * thill and intelligtnet. Andit is on theselast that the small farmer must chiefly depend.His own family supplies mnch of the labor, and, of course, ofthe capital. Spade husbandry, care and economy dispensewith many expensive implements ; hnt, without skill, in-telligence, aud good knowledge of cattle he never could holdhis ground ; but, with these, he would be perfect master of thesituation. Nay, these advantages would be nearly equivalentto tenant-right, for , any man of sense never ejects his besttenants. J

Whatever the system of land tenure m.iy be in a country,even m Prussia or France, tho idle or unsuccessful occupantsof land are constantly being replaced by the intelligent andindustrious, for which reason the true friends of the people:will bid them rely on their own mo.-al and industrial pro-gress. We want more knowledge of farming; more skilland intelligence. But who shall tench us? Who ? Thepeople must ba tstught , or they must have tbo means of self-education placed within their reach, or elso they will remainhelpless, powerless, prostrate ; und the only means ot £e!f-education is a Voting Men's Society, under tbe care of theirrespective pastors, in every parish in Ireland. This work isto bo done; but will it? No. Somo ono in each localityslwuld work fur the public good, unthanked and unrewardedin this Ufa. Landlords uon 't do it, unless iu a shape thatwould not be acceptable to their dependents ; neither willthe tenants combine morally for their own intellec-tual and industrial culture. Why I cannot tell.—The more wealthy and intelligent class of farmerswon't do it , for they would have no objection tomore small farms to let, at a low rate. The small farmersare nnly in their way. Will the press do it ? Will the patrioticpress in Ireland do it ? No; it has been working the otherway for the las* 20 years, laboring to keep the farmersfrom a knowledge of farming. Still let us hope that allparties and classes will awake to a sense of their duties andresponsibilities. When trade and commerce become morewidely extended anfoiigst us than at present, a spirit of pro-gress and more active business habits will spread with them.Then worth will find its level ; increased intelligence willdemand and insist on full security for the outliy of capitaland labor. Want of security is a full and complete evidenceof barbarism, as its pr«senco is proof of Christian justice andcivilisation.

We want intelligence iu Ireland. Neither the landlord,the tenant, nor tho public, understand tho necessity of per-fect sccmity to the filmier : nor do they wish to know it.Fanners are even indifferent about leases. Such men nevercan or will pay the value for land; for it is their interest tokeep the land doion to the lowest pos sible rent, and thenhiggle for .ibateincnts, !o which, of course, they are richlyentitled , having no protection , security, or encouragementfor their industry.

If this letter should give offence to any, I regret it. It Uwritten in opposition to public opiuiou and popular prejudice,liiit iftlic truth be vindicated , I «ui satisfied to bear theodium. In conclusion , permit me to observe that " unionamongst Irishman" is now the cry of all parties. Eachparly seems to desire, ardently, that all the others shouldunite with it ; yet none will move nn inch in the- path t»peace. Is each party infallibly right?

Farming societies have, sit least, the merit of bringinglandlords and tenants into contact ; and if tenants shouldpick up any little informal ion thereby, they arc not obligedto act contrary to their own interests. But if we are everto unite, one would think it might be on such neuti al groundas a cattle show ; and, if wo be not permitted in this case, howand when is it to take place ? I beg that the liberal presswill answer.—Faithfully yours, Jous CARROLL .

The " British Standard," .March 15, 1861, speaking oflionsou's Argentine Spoons and Forks, says :— " Theirappearance is certainly such that but for tlio absence of thecustomary credentials nf Silver, detection wonld be almost im-possible." This splendid material is a compound of variousmetals, with a heavy deposit of pure Silver, forming ono hardcompact body, possessing all the beauty, richness ofcolour, and durability of Silver, at a Iraction of itscost. When the Argentine and real Silver are placed sideby side, the most skilful judge cannot distinguish betweenthem, while its durability is so great that after mauy years'wear its appearance remains unaltered. During the lastsfiventeen years it has been so well received by the Public ,that its manufacture has been extended to all those articlesusually made iu Silver, viz..
