THE EXHIBITION—THE RAILWAYS.We heartily j oin with the " Kilkenny Journal" in

stating that thu Great Southern and Western and theWaterford and Kilkenny railway lines should not de-lay in giving the great body of the people un oppor-tunity—at a cheap rate—of witnessing our NationalExhibition. '1 he English railways did it. Why nottiie Irish ? And the Irish people require it more.

MR. DARGANThe " Leader" having inadvertently revived the

old story that Mr. Dargan had risen to his presentposition from the rank of a "navvier" on one of theIrish Railways, a friend of our distinguished coun-tryman has published this interesting narrative of hiscareer :—

" Crystal Palace, Railway Works, SydenhamiMay 14, 1853.

SIR—In your notice of the Dublin Crystal Palace,your statement relating to William Dargan, formerlyrailway labourer, is rather calculated to mislead thepublic as to the origin of that distinguished andreally good man. Mr. Dargan never worked as arailway labourer, as that term is usually understood.He was long connected with public works beforerailways were introduced. Mr. Dargan began lifein the office of the late Sir J. Telford, as civil en-gineer, and so high an opinion had Telford of youngDargan , that he confided to him the construction ofthat portion of the Shropshire Union Canal whichcrosses the Shellmere Valley, a work of great diffi-cul ty, but successfully carried out by the untiringenergy of Mr. Dargan and his able chief, the " la-bouring stonemason." Mr. Dargan is still spoken ofand remembered with affect'on in this neighbourhoodand well he may by one family whom he formed animportant connection with , for he has treated themembers of that peasant family with his usual libe-rality. As soon as he became prosperous, he^un-solicited, placed his mother-in-law in a handsomelyfurnished house, allowing her £300 a-year ; his wife 'sbro th ers were each put into farms well stocked, whichmust have cost him no little money ; and to hissister-in-law he presented £1,000 on her wedding-day. Such acts as these has Mr. Dargan performed,unknown to the general public ; yea, and manymore beside. From that neighbourhood he went tothe North , of Ireland , still acting as a civil engineer-on canal works ; but upon the death of Telford hecommenced contracting under the present Sir Wil.liam Cubitt , who finished the works Telford had inhand at the time of his death. After this Mr. Dar-gan 's rise was rapid, and is a matter of public noto-riety. Well does he deserve the success which hasattended him in life, and long may he enjoy it.

I am, Sir, yours, &c,W. M.

THE IRISH BLISTER

(From the London Correspondent of the CorkKxam'mer.)

The meaning of it is this—that the occupier is to paythe tax in thejir.it instance. Not tlie occupier of a vastfirm, the Tent of which may be £300 a year ; but everyoccupier who is rated to the relief of the Poor, from thooccupiers of £4 a-year upwards ! Now what think you,ps'liators of the income tax vote, of jour " farmer'st'rieuda ?'' The income tax is not to pas's over the headsof tlie lowly, and le-ive them in peace ; it is to invadothe homestead of every tenunt farmer in the island whoseholding is rated at £4 , nnd afflict him with a two-yearlyvisi' from the tax collector. From his ample resources,the occupier is lo pay in advance for his landlord ! Really,when I tirst understood this, it came on me with the loresof a tltunder-ckp; it seemed so utterly impossible to be-lieve that any government could seriously contemplatethe idea of setting in operation so fearful an engine o£annoyance nnd oppression as this. But there it is inblack and white. Of course it will be resisted, shouldthe Government persevere with it—which they may notdo, from the absoluto horror evinced by some of theirown supporters—Sir Denliam Norreys amtng the num-ber—of -he pit which they hail dug for themselves.

You will see in the report g'ven in the Times, a ques-tion put, which involves a hardship almost inconceivable.'I he landlord, may not, from the smallness of his income,bo liable to the income tax ; and yet , his tenants, whohold small farms under him, are to pay the tax to the Col-lector, as if he were liable—leaving the landlord to ob-tain tho whole sum back from the Commissioners.

I ask the reader, is it possible to conceive a more clumsymachinery, or a mode of procedure more cruel and impo-lite, than this round-about way of getting at the partyreally liable, and this gratuitous harassing of a class,who, we are assured, have no concern whatever with thaincome tas, " which only affects the rich." For my partI cannot conceive a more unnarrantable attempt at op-pression aggravated ten-fold by tho very limitation ofliability to, persons whose incomes are at and above £ I Ol).

Thei\ are other features of importance which it is im-possible to reconcile with the assumption of the poorma n's freedom from the tax. Suppose, as thp bill stands,an occupier, because of enjoy ing a beneficial lease, israted higher than hia rent, he must pay according to hisrating, aa'l recover only according to his rent. If bepay in a-year , and is rated at £ 15 > r £20, he must pay16 or 20 seveDpenses (in advance for liis landlord), and hocannot recover from his landlord more than 10' seven-pences - leaving the occupier who "is not touched" bytliis •' rich man's tax," at a dead loss of the balance! Oh!it is a precious bill, and a signal blessing for Ireland.

For " occupier" read tenant of a house in a town orcity, as well a* a tenant of a farm in the country.

THE EXHIBITIONThe opening of the Mediaeval Court has Been the

chief feature connected with the progress of the Ex-hibi tion during the past few days. The number ofvisitors present on Monday amounted to 4,871. Theadmission fee is still 2s. 6d. for such as have not sea-son tickets.

NATIONAL BANK OF IRELANDThe report of the affairs of this bank as read at a

recent meeting of the Directors of the company iaLondon, gives a very flattering account of the grow-ing properity of the Institution. It does more—itproves beyond a doubt that Ireland, despite all herdifficul ties, is again looking up from her prostratecondition.

THE LADIES.—As we have frequent days of rainand storm about this time, we suggest to the ladies-confined as they are to their houses—the practisingbefore their looking-glasses various modes of fascina-tion. So that when pleasant weather returns, theycan operate on the other sex with deadly effect. Acommon smile, as we know, is very attractive ; butit can by practice be made perfectly bewitching.So, also, a graceful bending of the head, in the actof receiving and giving a kiss is at all times a prettymovement, but by practice it may be made so en-chanting that any man will curl up under it, like aeat in a passion. All grace is the result of certainindolent and voluptuous movements, which are se-verely felt but not easily described. We have teena very pretty woman, who possessed that attractivecharm, a dimple, on each cheek.—Now, when s:iesmiled, these dimples gave her countenance an ex-tremely agreeable expression. But after she hadpractised the art of dimpling into effect, before herlooking-glass, only a few weeks—men, who onlybreathed short before, (when she smiled,) now fellfiat on their kmes, and with spasmodically-affected;faces and limbs, begged and prayed for mercy.And she was forced to look at them with eyes furiousas dog-stars, to fetch them to. For weeks, aftersuch scorching scintillations of optics, they wentabout looking more like boiled and skinned beets,than human beings. Everybody—of their own sex-thought it a cruel business, and pitied the poor fel-lows amazingly. But what was the use 1 For, likemillars about a candle, they dashed right into herpresence again", as soon as they got over the firstscorching ; and had not their friends removed themout of the way, would soon have been nothing butcinders and ashes. The sparkling glances of" a finepair of eyes in the face of a lovely woman, are not tobe encountered rashly, nor without a pair of smokedglasses.—Boston Paper.

^ HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY .

The Karl of CLARENDON stated , in answer to a ques-tioJi , lliat lie was unable to give any informationwith respect to the state of affairs at Constantinople,as the negociations were still pending.

The Iv.irl of M AIMKSBURY moved for a selectcommittee to inquire into the probable operation ofMr. Gladstone 's measures for imposing a tax. onsuccession to real property, and said the chargewould be productive of great hardship to variousholders of property, especially those who came intothe possession of heavily-mortgaged estates.

The F.arl of Aberdeen opposed the motion , whichwas made at an unusual t ime, and supported uponvery insufficient reasons.

The Karl of DER BY pressed on their Lordships theabsolute necessity of investigating so important asubj ect as the dutv on successions.

Earl GKANVILLB deprecated this attempted ob-struction to the progress of public business, which,eren if successful, would not damage the Govern-ment.

Lord ST. LEONARDS entered upon some criticismor the general scheme of the Bud get. He thoughtenquiry us to the effect of this bill absolutely acces-sary.

The Lord CHANCELLOR said that the bill , so farfrom being either impolitic or unjust , was, in hisop inion , both pactical and just.

Karl Firzxrn.Li.Mt supported tho motion for aselect committee.

The Duke of A RGYM : defended the policy of theGovernment in not consenting to tho appointment ofa select committee. He concluded by contendingthat this scheme would bear more lightly upon laudthan that of the late Government.

Hehad not , however, as yet , determined to take advan-tage of the seven days ' grace, as he wished to seehow the money market went before he decided.

The Larl of CARLIS LE presented a petition , nume-rously signed by ladies in Kingston , Jamaica , pray-ing her Majesty 's government to take steps for theenforcement of the fulfilment by the Spanish go-vernment of those treaties by which the inhumanand cruel traffic on slaves, was promised to be finall yextinguished.

HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY .The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock,Mr. J. FIT RGERAI .D asked the Chief Secretary for

Ireland whether it was the intention of the govern-ment to take any steps, by legislation or otherwise,to ensure the completion of the drainage works ofthe River Fergus, and thus protect the town of Ennisfrom periodical inundations ?

Sir J. Youxo said he expected a report on thesubject in a fortnigh t ; until then he could give noinformation on the question.

Mr. J. FiTzoEnAi.D asked the Chief Secretary forIreland whether it was the intentiun of governmentto place the medical officers for poor relief in Ire-land on the same footing as in England , in referenceto the payment of half of their salaries out of theConsolidated Fund ; and also, whether it was theintention of government to make any provisions forthe relief of the poor law imions in Ireland from thepayment of any part of the poor law establishmentexpenses with which they are at present charged ?

Lord J. llussr.i.L said that as any thing said uponthat subject in the present state of the negociationsin that house would not fail to be of importance, hemust decline answering the question ; but on receiv-ing notice, he would be ready to meet any motionupon the subject.

INCOME TAX.The house then went into committee on the Income

Tax Bill , and the discussion of the clauses was pro-ceeded with, beginning with clause 26.

With regard to that portion of the measure relat-ing to tea, a discussion arose, in consequence of someremark s made by Mr. Disraeli , who considered thatrecent events in China rendered it desirable that anopportunity should be given for a more deliberatediscussion. Ultimately the resolutions were ag'reedto, and the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDA Y.ALTERATION OF OATHS BILL.

Lord LYKDIIURST to move the second reading ofthis bill , the object of which , he said, bad been verymuch misapprehended , but which was in fact merelyto remove those parts of the oaths at present taken bymembers of both houses which were unnecessary andabsurdj (hear). In the oath of allegiancehe proposed tomake no alteration whatever, for it was plain andsimple enough, and lay of itself at the roots of thecommon law. The second oath, the oath of supre-macy, which dated only from the time of Henry andMary, was originally aimed against the Roman Ca-tholics (hear, hear) and professed to repudiate theauthority and supremacy of the Pope of Rome, butit was not now required from Roman Catholics, andwas only taken by Protestants, from whom, indeed ,it was supererogatory and useless. The oath , there-fore, is quite useless. The Protestants did not be-lieve that the Pope had any spiritual authority inthis country, and therefore ought not to be called onto renounce it by oath ; while the Roman Catholic,ivho did believe .in such spiritual authority, was notcalled on to take any such path. The oath of abju-

ration , which dated from the 13th year of Wm. III.and in the preamble it was stated that the reason ofit was the late proclamation, by Louis XIV., of thePretender as King of England. It was framedagainst the Pretender, and was an abjuration of allrights of his or his descendants. It ought to haveceased when the family of that Pretender .had ter-minated ; and to take it now , when there were nodescendants of the Pretender in existence, was no-thid g but an idle mockery. It bad been stated thatthe fonrth clause of the bill was intended to admitmembers of the Jewish persuasion into parliament ;but that was entirel y unfounded , and he certainlywas not the man to attempt to do that by a side-wind which their lordships had refused to do openly(hoar).

The bill was read a second time, and at 8 o'clocktheir lordsh ips adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-TuEsnAY.Mr. LUCAS presented a petition against the bill for

the recovery of personal liberty.ATTORNEYS ' CERTIFICATE DUTY .

Lord II. G ROSVENOR gave notice that, when theChancellor of the Exchequer proposed his resolutionforreducing the attorneys 'annual certificate duty, heshould move, by way of amendment, the entire abo-lition of the duty.

INCOME TAX.Sir E. K ELLY asked the hon. mambcr for Mon-

trose when ho proposed proceeding with his motionfor the appointment of a committee on the incometax ? •

Mr. HUME said he had abandoned all attempts toimprove the income tax (a laugh.) He was obligedro accept the government bill asit was, not seeing anyhope of amending it.

ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUES OF IRELAND.Mr. G. II. MOORE roso to mova for a select com-

mittee to enquire into the ecclesiastical revenues ofIreland , with a view of ascertaining bow far theyare made applicable to the benefit of the Irishpeople.

Mr. Maurice O'Connell seconded Mr. Moore's mortion, and Lord John Russell opposed it.

Air. MAOU I RE , and Mr. LUCAS , &C, spoke withgreat ability in favour of Mr. Moore 's motion .

After a protracted debate, the house divided whenthere appeared—

second time this day six months (hear).Mr. PH I N N supported theb ill.Mr. NAPI ER bad given this bill his most careful

consideration , and his firm conviction was that itwould be unwise to adopt it.

The second reading of the bill was negatived without a division.

SIGNS OF WAR.

(From ihe Time) ' Covrespondent) .PARIS , TUESDAY EVENING .—I have just seen a

letter from Constantinop le, dated the 16th. It an-nounces, what may have already reached you throughother channels , that the Turkish government was atthat date determined to repel force by force ; that aTurkish steamer had been dispatched to summon theOttoman fleet from, tne Archi peligo to Constantino-ple, and thence to Egypt to assist in transportingthe division of troops which Abbas Pasha has readyat the orders of the Sultan ; and that the Ministero° War had sent couriers to the whole of the pro-vinces of tho Empire to call National militia to arms,and to prepare them to act at the shortest notice.The letter that the greatest activity was displayed bythe government and the local authorities in makingpreparations, should hostilities arise out of the pre-sent crisis.' There were rumours in ' Paris to-day'ofan advance of the Russian troops towards the Turkishterritory, but I cannot learn that any despatch hasbeen received that would show these reports to bewell founded. Admiral Stewart appointed to thepost of second in command of the English fleet inthe Mediterranean , arrived at Marseilles on the 2.5th,and immediately hoisted his flag on board the• Caradoc,' which was every moment expecting thearrival of a courier with new instructions from LordStratford de Redcliflee.

PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIANS .A person , who is generall y extremely well in-

formed , has heard " that the Russians have alreadyentered Moldavia. " Now it is sti pulated in thetreaties that Russia shall only enter the DanubianPrincipalities when the public peace is disturbed , andeven then but as the ally of the Porte.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

We have received the following by Electric Tele-graph from Messrs. Smith and Son :—

According to the ' Augsburg- Gazette a firman hasbeen sent both to the French and English adinirals,authorising the passage of the two fleets through thestraits of the Dardanelles.

TURKEY.CONSTANTINOPLE , 19th May.—On the evening of

the 18th , the Sultan summoned all his Ministers ofState into his presence, and assured them " that hehad done all in bis power to preserve the good willof the Emperor of Russia , and that every reasonablerequest of his had at all times been granted ; but nowa demand wiiich infringed upon the preiogativeof his crown , and which he had no right to cede, hadbeen tendered by the* Emperor, which he was bouiidto refuse. If, then , it should please the AlmightyGod to inflict on the nation the scourges of war, hehimself was guiltless of i t ; but he should never for-get that he was the descendant,of Oathman ; andbearing that in mind , he would be the first to riskhis person at thu bead of his troops in defence of thehol y territory of Islam."

From our London Correspondent

LONDON , M AY 31, 18J3.The neck-and-neck contest for the lucrative ap-

pointment of City chamberlain was brought to a closeyesterday in favour of Siv John Key, by a majorityof 267, his majority at the commencement of the daybeing 91. The struggle lasted upwards of a week ,the excitement during its progress was very great,the race for preferment dividing the interest withthat for the Derby. Up to Thursday Mr. Scott w;:sin the ascendant , being far a head of Sir John , butafter that day his fortune waned, bis majority gra-duall y declined , and on Friday night he was in aminority of 14. On Saturday he again lost ground ,at the end of the day, being 71 behind hand ; andMonday, as above recorded , gave a decisive victoryto Sir John , whose friends have literall y b.>en on theKey vive for his benefit. Mr. Scott is of course atliberty to retain bis situation as chief clerk in theChamberlain 's oflicc ; but it hasbeen whispered thatfortune still befriends him and that he has been of-fered a very eligibl e appointment in the Woods andForests, with £1,200 per annum.

From our Dublin Correspondent

DUBLIN , Thursday (yesterday).On Sunday last the Very Rev. Dr. Spratt held a

Temperance meeting at Harold's Cross, in this city ;and administered the total abstinence pledge to alargcnumber of persons who attended for the gloriouspurpose of abandoning their habits of an over-in-dul gence in intoxicating drinks; which had , alas,brought so many miseries on them and their fami-lies.

The Provincial Synod was opened on this day(Thursday), being the Octave of Corpus Chnsti ; bya grand procession of the Bishops and Clergy fromthe Presbytery in Marlborough-street, to the churchof the Immaculate Conception. A Sermon waspreached on the occasion , and the ceremonies of theday were indeed truly edifying and consoling. HisGrace the Right Rev. Dr. Cullen , Archbishop ofDublin , will preach in the same Church , on Sundaynext , before the Synodical Bishops and Clergy whonro to attend.

The Exhibition building is now being fast brought,to its final perfection , and , in a few days more, will ,in many respects, stand unrivalled even by theCrystal Pa.'ace of 1851. Since the gas-lamps .havebeen erected on the outside of . the building,its appearance by night is of a most enchanting de-scription.

Franconi's Circus continues a place of fashionableresort by the citizens ; but on Tuesday night it wasmore than usually attended , the performance of theevening having: being honored by the presence ofSir Edward Blakeney, who is so universally popularhere. His Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, honoredthe day performance with his presence.

The Monster M art of Delaney, M'Swiney & Co.was opened on Saturday last for the dispatch of busi-ness : and during the entire day the building wassurrounded by hundreds of citizens.

AUSTRALIA—WANTSOn yestetday we received several Australian

papers. In the Melbourne " Argus" (a daily paper,nearly as large as the " Times") we find a numberof policemen advertised for, together with a " gover-nor, application to be made to the people of Adelaide."If the prosperity of a place may be judged fro m thenumber of its newspapers and advertisements, Aus-tralia must be one of those places.

The attention and energy of CaptainBurke drew fortli from the pasBtngcrs on this occasion , as theydid on previous occasions, a comp limentary address and a presentalion of beautiful articles of jewellery.

INCOME TAX

" London , Tuesday." On Friday Mr. Gladstone intimated some doubt

as to the expediency of retaining the provisions of the11th clause in the incometax bill , and postponed theconsideration of the clause. It is provided in it thatthe income tax should in the first instance be assess-ed upon the person assessed for the poor rate, name-ly, on the occupier, unless in cases under £4, andthat the occupier should deduct the 7d. in the poundfrom the landlord on pay ing his rent. This is theEnglish system, and the very princi ple of the incometax, as founded by Mr. Pitt and adopted by Sir R.Peel, has always been that tangible property shouldin tin- first instance pay, and that each person shoulddeduct the income tax from those to whom he mighthave to make payment.— .There are manifest reasonsboth of policy and justice for this. Mr. Kirk onFriday , suggested that the clause would be muchimproved by substituting the word ' owner * for oc-cupier as tho person chargeable, and it is understoodthat on Saturday a deputation of the tenant leaguerspressed the matter on the Chancellor of the Exche-quer, who yesterday expressed his intention of mak-ing that change in the bill , and very coolly proposedto introduce clauses to that effect. Lord Naas, Mr.Butt, Mr Hamilton, and other Irish members wouldnot permit this, and with some difficul ty compelledthe minisUr to postpone the consideration of theclauses till Thursday. The clauses as proposed tobe altered would have this effect. Except on townsthe immediate lessor or owner will be assessed for theIncome Tax, on the Poor Law Valuation, and \villhave to pay accordingly. If the valuation is higherthan the rent , the owner may appeal to the commis-sioners, aad have the difference returned. This willin itself subject the owner to great trouble and tosome expense ; but the. manifest injustice will be, thata landlord being assessed on his rent, and having topay accordingly, will obviously have to pay notmerely on rents which he has not actually receivedwherewithal to pay, but a great proportion of which,in all probability, lie will never receive. The Irishlandlords may truly congratulate themselves on Mr.Gladstone '* regime ! Mr. Hamilton proposed theclause, of which he had given notice, for the reliefof the clergy, which was embodied into the bill.—•[Evening Mail Correspondent..].., ; ¦ .

DUflGA RVAN UNION

<( A prophet is no prophet in bis own countryis an old but a true saying ; and there is no,mrt of Ireland in which it is so clearly and socompletely exemp lified as in ths DungarvanUnion. In the Waterford and other Unions whena deserving officer seeks promotion, it is the rule,and not the exception , to give him a lift. But inDungar van the case is entirel y different. Dr.COMAX , for instance , is a mail who has been con-nected with the Union for a considerable period—he has performed his official duties with kindness ,propriety, and abili ty—he has braved every spe-cies of disease which followed in the deadly marchof the famine—h e has been with the people,amongst the dying and the dead , during the lastvisitation of the cholera. ' But what is his rewardfor all these labours ? When a vacant office oc-curs in the Union , a gentleman in a distant paitof the country is sent for—a man who never paida shilling of the local taxes—a man , as we learn ,tot.il l y unknown to tire great body of the rate-payers— and this man is supported by every art ,and every stratagem which a section of the guard -ians can devise. Is this gratitude ?—is it honest ?—is it fair play ?

Ah ! But the Dungarvan guardians want clevermen—they waut such men as Doctors Corri gan ,Stokes, &c. Now, we venture to assert that ifthese men had been " racy of the soil" of Dun-garvan or Waierford , they, too, would not be ac-ceptable to those who sigh for strange hands.Doctor COMAN h^s hi gh testimonials from medicalmen of great ability in various parts of Ireland—including the government inspector . Dr. Purcell—and it therefore seems unaccountabl y strange tous that un - pro essional gentlemen , however re-spectable , would place their opinions in j uxta po-sition with , or in opposition to, the distinguishedprofessional men to whom we have j ust referred ?It is easil y, no doubt , to make assertions in orderto justif y a certain line of conduct ; but assertionswithout proof should be treated as the idle wind .Cnmp laints can be raised against any bod y of men ,but tl iei e are no men so open to them as gentle-men belonging to the medical profession , simp lybecause they are too often expected to performdeeds which nature places far beyon d their reach ,skill , or ingenuity.

The guardians have now an imp ortant duty toperform —they have to chose between their laterespected officer—a taxpayer , their own townsman—and a gentleman from some distant part of theisland , who has not performed any duty (at leastin Dungarvan), who has never contributed towardsthe local burdens—and who is a perfect strangerto the greai bulk of the people. So far as wecan gather , this is the true state of the case.

DUNGARVAN UNION—RE-ELECTION OFMEDICAL OFFICER.

To the Editor of the Waterford News.Dungarvan , June 1st., 1853.

SIR—A grand battl e in the Iocal'parliament of ourour union will be fought on the 9th inst., betweenthe ex-officios and the elected guardians for the re-appointinrnt of a competent medical officer for theunion workhouse, at a salary of £80 per annum.From a technical informality in the late election ,three of the guardians of the old board entered aprotest against the proceedings of the ex-officios onthat occasion , which was referred to the Commis-sioners for their opinion , and after due deliberationon their part, pointed out the invalidity of Dr. Bat-terby's return by the course adopted—that is, by ad-mitting the name of another gentleman, as an ex-officio on the list of voters, exceeding the legal num-ber of elected guardians by one.

I he rate-payers of the union are much annoyed ,and at a loss to know what cause has actuated thoseex-oflicios to carry out such a course of proceedingdirectl y opposed to their sentiments and feelings inbring ing a Westmeath man and placing him , if pos-sible, in office , at their expense , to the prejudice of agentleman whom they have known from the earliestperiod of his life, to have acted kindly and humanelytowards the poor and infirm in the discharge of hisdu.y.

Dr. Coman , the present medical officer , haa he notall the requisite qualifications and attainments to fillthe arduous duties of the establishment with honourto himself and credit to his supporters , who I trustwill stand by him now, as they have on a former oc-casion. We have the expressed opinion of the pro-vincial medical inspector, tearing testimony to hiscompetency, experience , and superior judgment inthe discharge of his duties as a medical gentleman.From such an opinion , and previous services he has aprior claim on our support before that of any othergentleman.

Guardians—Act your part on this occasion ashonest, independent men , and not allow yourselvesto become dupes or willing slaves, which make theoppressor. The poet truly says :—

" Honor or shame from no condition rise,Act well your part , and there the honour lies." J.

OUH CORRESPONDENT DErENDIKG HIMSELF.

A gentleman in Dungarvan having stated that ourcorrespondent 's account of the recent robbery casein that town , committed by soldiers (and which ap-peared in a recent number of the N EWS) was untrue,our correspondent requests us to insert the followingrejoinder:—

Is it not a fact that three private soldiers of the9th Regt., were charged by Thoa.Hoare with robbinghim of 3s. (instead of 6s. which was stated) and anncket-hnndkerchief , and for which they were 8um-inoned by him to appear an court on the 21st May ?Is it not a fact when the charge had been madeknown to the officer in command (one of the mostamiable gentlemen in Her Majesty 's service) that thethree soldiers were placed in the guard-room untiltheir trial should come on? Is it not a fact that themilitary messenger was ordered to quit and neverto enter inside the barrack gate ? Is it not a factthat the said messenger was summoned by complain-ant to give evidence against the soldiers on the afore-said day ? Is it not a fact that ths same messengermade applcation , by note, to the Lieutenant to be re-admitted , andso annoyed was the gentleman with hisconduct in being mixed up in the affair, he would notcomply with his request?: Is it not a fact that thestolen handkerchief was given to the messenger toleave it in the barrack, ana which handKerchief wasbrought back the following morning by him to thepublic house ? Is it not a fact that the soldiers andcomplainan t appeared in court to nave the case in-vestigated ? And is it not a fact that it has beenstated that complainant received the above sum, andhandkerchief not to proceed on the investigation?and which appeared quite evident from the mannerin which he addressed the court by saying—" I wasdrunk and could not well know the soldiers who rob-bed me," then of course the case Avas dismissed. Inmy report I did not state the military were guilty ofthe robbery, but stated they were charged with theact.

Your correspondent trusts from this explanation ofthe facts, that he has exonerated himself from thisuncalled for imputation cast on him. J.

ESCAPE OF A ROBBER FROM DROWKINO.[ From our Corretpond ent) .

DUNOARVAN , MAY 31.—A youngman of the nameof Patrick Houlahan (a noted robber), and tweyoung women, having committed a robbery in thiscounty on their way to Clonmel, were escorted herethis day by the constabulary to have the charge in-vestigated by the magistrates, when it appears infor-mations were gran ted against the party to be tried atnext quarter sessions.

On leaving the clerk's office , to be lodged in Bride-well, Houlahan gave a short turn from the consta-bulary , made his way through one of the broken barsof the railing which fronts the bridewell, and beingso closely pursued , and so much confused plungedinto the tide which was fully in at the time. Theunfortunate man being ignorant in the art of swim-ming, sank several times, and were it not for thetimely assistance of two young .sailors belonging tothe port, who rowed out a small.boat, and broughthip into shore in a moat exhausted itate,

HOW TO TREAT THE INTRUDERS

" Up and at the ruffianly intruders."This is a sentiment which a respected Limerick

cotemporary—the Reporter— publishes in itslast number ; and we now gladly re-echo the idea ,hoping that it may be acted upon to the letter.But how are we to be at them ?—at the convent-spies of a hypocritical government ? We wouldnot advise an open breach of the law—while it islaw—but , to use a popular though unclassicalphrase, " there are various ways of killing a dogbesides choking him with butter." Every manwho witnessed the last elections in Irelaad , isaware of the power and influence of the peop lewhen j udiciously directed . Six-mile-brid ge wasthe only place where a fatal accident occurred ,and that would never have taken place if the peo'-ple had been more cautiousl y guided. The tongueis still free—no law has yet , thank GOD, beenforged for stifling the human voice. And whereis the individual that will undertake the inspectionof nunneries?—where is the spy who will per-form that ungracious duty, if he be met—as nodoubt he shall be met—in every street and lanethroug h which he may pass, by the shouts and ex-ecrations of an indignant peop le? What putdown the tithe system ? Passive resistance . Itwas found therefore that iii place of ya imng byits collection, government was considerabl y theloser. That 's the true way of crushing a badlaw. It is worth all the petitions that ever werethought of or p ennt d. Hence it is well to prepareourselves for the contemp lated invasion of thosesacred places , which ought to be more endearedto us even than our own homesteads and firesides.Petitions , at any rate will do no harm , and shouldbe tried. But , should the bill become law , weought to gird up our loins and clear our throats inorder to " pour out the indi gnant lava of ourcontempt and hatred" upon all who may hav e todo with it.

THE NATIONAL EXHIBITION

We learn from our Dublin correspondent thatthe National Exhibition is progressing tow irdsmaturit y or perfection , with giant strides. In afew days all will be ri ght ; and on its counters ,and in its halls every nation worth y of a place ,will there he represented. The great mass ofour country folk have not yet , we know , paid theirNational Exhibition a visit ; but that cannot hewondered at , from its unfinish ed position. Weare glad to learn , whilst referring to the Exhibi-tion , that our active , and , we may say, ubi quitousfriend , Mr. R ONEY , is about to have a title pre-fixed to his name. To him who is now going toCanada to embark in other underta king s , this maybe of utility . But , Mr. DARGAN , like O'C ONWELL,showed his greatness of mind by refusing a title—tides conferred on such intellects , in our opinion ,onl y diminish , rather th an add to , the fame ofgreat men. DA RGAN has earned a name whichno tide could con fer— a name which a title couldonly make " dark and drear."

WATERFORD SHIP BU'ILDINO .—We under-stand that the fine steamer " Sy lph," latel y builtat the Neptune Foundry, in this city, was hi ghl yspoken of on her arrival at the other side of thechannel.

PLEASURE TRIP .—Fearing a breach of theSabbath (!) our Steam Company would not tole-rate a pleasure tri p on board their steamers onthat day. Oh ! no—that would be terri fic ! But ,strange to say, they consider towing up vessel son the Sabbath , no breach at all. We hope ourcitizens will never be guilty of a greater offencethan that of sailing up or down tre river in a boat ,whether propelled by steam or wind , on the Lord'sDay—if not they will be rather fortunate. TheGreat Railway companie s of the three kingdomsare not quite as scrupulous as our prosperous shipcompany.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.On Friday night last the dairy-house of Nich olas-

Power, Esq., M. P., of Faithlegg House, was brokeninto by some nocturnal marauders, and seven firkinsof butter, first quality, stolen therefrom. On thediscovery of the burglary and robbery next morninginformation was immediately sent to the severalneighbouring police stations, and also to this city,and from the active steps at once taken to discoverthe robbers there are strong grounded hopes they willnot long escape the vigilance of the police.

POLICE OFFICE—SATURDA Y

Joseph Tabuteau, Esq., R. M., sat on the bench.As usual there were a few intemperate •' cases" to

be disposed of. The parties were fined in mitigatedpenalties, from Is to 2s each, or in default of paymentto short periods of imp risonment.

John Kehoe, a well known young robber, and whowas one of the party lately tried for a robbery atthe Fanning Institute—was charged with stealing along piece of rope from on board the Ajj or, a.wrecked French vessel now lying in the river oppo-site the Custom-house.

On leaving the vesselTie saw a policeman approachtowards him ; he instantly thrust the rope under thejacket of a small boy named Roderick Barsanti, theson of a poor Italian who formerly hawked images ¦.through the city, but who has been dead for some ,years. The policeman arrested the two hoys andbrought them before the magistrate.

The small boy, Barsanti, was examined by Mr.- : .Tabuteau, without being sworn, and he stated that • 'Kehoe stole the rope and put it under his j acket, and jpromised him a penny to conceal it from the police^ ,man. He said he could swear that on his "oat',' - ;if he knew the nature of an " oat." (laughter.) , i : .He also said, in reply to a question from the magis-./ '. ¦¦trate, that he did not keep company with Kehoe, aa -j Wi-.his mother had told him if be did he would " bring, r . i ihim to the gallows."

The commissionersstated , that in their circular of the 3rd of Feb.

Th nrewere also somt wrong names returned from the hos-pitals , for persons that died , and recorded as such.There were also some infants also died , and were notreported , but when their names were discovered incalling the mil, they were discharged from oil' theregister. When the 43 persons above alluded to bedischarged , and thr 22 person; admitted , the num-bers and classes will be all correct."

The Master was directed to bring the subject be-fore the bonrd on. Wednesday (admission day), inorder to have the necessary alterations made in theregister book.

On the subject of the annuities it was stated thatthere had been nearly £4000 paid on the 1st and 2ndinstalments , and a balance of .£1270 still due. Noneof the money paid in will be returned.

Cnpt. Newport—I t has got into the d—l's exche-quer (lauehter).

Mr. Hamilton said the board ought to direct theclerk to make an estimate for a general rate on thewhole electoral divisions of the union. There liabili-ties wern i'0000—Kilmncthomas owed them £1000,and th"y owed Thomastown union £71. Theirweekly expenses, including all, were £340 a week,bcine: £17,080 a year ! _

The Chairman said the Wnterford guardians oughtto consider whether they would increase the rate, as,2s. being inadequate , they would very soon have toinnke another rate on the division.

The Clerk said there were balances against nearlyall the electoral divisions of the union. There was abalance of £4400 against Waterford on the 25th ofMarch last.

Mr. Cadogan—You ought to have some regard tothe nervous system ot the Waterford rate-payers.

Chairman—The only question is, let us pay ourdebts.

Capt. Newport said the contemplated rate of 2s onWnterford would make it 5s, for they had alreadypaid a rate of 3s (hear.)

Mr. Hamilton complained that Mr. Paul Murphywas not collecting as much as he ought.

Mr. Cadogan said be got bis warrants much laterthan the other collectors.

Capt. Newport said the rate-payers of Waterfordwere enormously overtaxed—they pay grand jurytax, poor rate tax, ministers' money tax, lamp tax,water tax, income tax (will have) besides subscrip-tions to various public institutions.

A resolution was passed to the effect that where ahouse and land constitute one holding they shouldbe rated , although the house may have been unoccu-pied at the time of making the rate.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION.Tenders were received from the following persons

for the erection of a house, two stories high , on theworkhouse site, for additional accommodation forwomen and young children. This building was foundnecessary to be erected, owing to the great mortalitythat has occurred for some years among the infantclasss from want of proper accommodation and suffi-cient ventilation—namely :—

Mr. Joseph O'Neill , £709, Sureties offered—Mr.Graham , Mr, O'Reilly, and Mr. Nash. Engage-ment , to erect the house within four months.

Mr. John Hunt , £695. Sureties, subsequentl y of-ferred , Dr. Cavet and Mr. Robert H. Smith.

James Scanlan , £638. Mr. Scanlan did notappear.

Messrs. Joh n Fitzpntrick and William Flynn ,£o87. Sureties , Mr. Edward Knox , and Mr. Wil-liam Plielan. Each surety bound in the sum of£100 each for the due performance of the workwithin the time specified.

After some discussion on the quarrying of stones—which theguardians are bound to supply to the con-tractor—it was resolved thai Messrs. Fitzpatrick andFlynn be the contractors, as being the lowest tender,and the sureties having been approved of.

r t lKSKNTATlON CONVENT.A letter was read from Mr. John O'Brien , solici-

tor, requesting that the presentation convent beexempted from rate, as being a religious and charita-ble establishment , for the education of poor children.

The Clerk stated that the school and chapel at-tached to the convent were exempt , and that thedwelling portion of the convent was rated.

The Chairman desired that the application be referred to the finance committee, and a copy of MrO'Brien 's letter forwarded to the poor law commissioners, and government commissioner of valuation.

OUT-DOOR RELIEF.Mr. Cadogau complained that a poor old feeble

and sickl y woman at Grannag h rock, named MaryReade , had received for some time out-door relief tothe amount of Is. a week , and that the paltry pit-tance had been stopped this week by the admissioncommittee. . Ho considered it great want of economyto refuse one shilling a week in this case, whereas ifshe were capable to be brought into the poor-houseshe would cost the union at least 3s. n week. I move,said Mr. Cadogan , that in point of economy and jus-tice she continue to get from the relieving officer Is.a week.

Mr. Kelly said the poor woman was afflicted withcancer , and would never get rid of the complaint.She, was not fit to be removed , therefore he shouldfeel justified in seconding the motion.

The motion was put fi-om the chair, and passedwithout a dissentient voice.

Capt. Anthony said on the previous day (Wednes-day) the relieving officer produced no certificatefrom the medical officer , and that be didn 't knowwhether she mi ght bo removed with safety.

Mr. Cadogan said he heard the medical inspectorsay that dispensary doctors have no rig it to interferewith the patients , and if he dil so in future, exceptas to give medical relief, he would feel it his duty todismiss him.

INFIRM WARDS.Some resolutions, purporting to be a report, but

which were very unlike one, from a committee ap-pointe d to inquire into the case of Martin Connol ly,who was not , as alleged , visited by any of the medi-cal officers of the workhouse, whilst labouring underdysentery in the infirm ward for five weeks, wereread by the clerk . The following are two of them :—

Resolved—That Dr. Elliott and the Master havingreported that the present dead-house would makeeligible probationary wards (male and female) forhospital patients , if divided and fitted up with warmbaths , we recommend that this room be properly di-vided , and fitted up, and that a dead house be erectedon a proper site.

Resolved—That Dr. Fitzpatrick, the resident me-dieal officer of this establishment, be requested tovisit the probationary ward of this poorhouse at 5o'clock in winter , and 0 o'clock in summer, dail y,in order to examine all paupers admitted during theday, and that he shall , at all events, visit cases ofemergency on being brought in.

On the motion of Mr. Cadogan, seconded by Mr.Cnrignn , it was resolved to apply to the commission-ners for an inquiry , upon oath, into the whole factsof the case relative to Martin Connolly.

VISITOR 'S REroitT.This report was read by the clerk, froin which it

appeared that the workhouse is in a perfectl y clean,'quiet and orderl y state—and that the school boys arecheerful , orderl y and progressing in their studies.The report was signed on the part of the committeeby Mr. A. Crulogun.

Mi'. Hamilton , inspector , said the house was im-proving greatl y in every department.

COMM I TI'-EES.A resolution wns passed that the clerk report to

the board every Thursday the names of all mem-bers of eonniittees , who may be summoned , and donot attend.

The chairman proceeded to sign the books, &c,after which the board adjourned.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY—FA-THER CUDDIHY.

[From the Pittsfield (American) Paper.]Among the more important improvements in our

village the present season, we are especially pleasedto notice the preparatory steps for the consecration ofa new Roman Catholic -cemetery. The site selectedis beyond the road north of the Pittsfield RuralCemetery, and is distinguished by the same charac-teristics of beauty as its neighbour. Several viewsfrom itsi various elevations are very fine, particularlythose which include the village. The grounds arenow being handsomely laid out under the directionof Solomon L. Russell, Esq., to whose taste and skillthe town is already much indebted. W e congratu-late our Roman Catholic friends on their procuringthis lovely spot for the holy and solemn purpose forwhich they design it. It will repay them a thousandtimes its cost. To a people of such warm and en-during affection as the Irish proverbially are, thespot where kindred dust reposes must be very- dear.There they will learn to linger, soothing their pas-sionate grief with the murmur of groves soon to beinterspersed with shrubs and flowers and the em-blems of their ancestral faith ; and there Death willhave that ennobling and refining lesson which heteaches not in the crowded and desecrated grave-yardof towns.

Our citizens of every name we are sure will bepleased that another is added to the fast increasingornaments of our town , as well as that a burial placewhich has long been a subj ect of complaint will beclosed.

For the happy accomplishments of these desirableends we are indebted to the energy of Rev. P. Cuddih}', the newly inducted Priest of St. Joseph'schurch—a gentleman of high literary attainmentsand cultivated taste.

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL-WKDNESDAT

'The QU E E N V. M ULLINS.A Blow at Old BessonetL

The Chief Justice said this case a point of lawhad been reserved by the Assistant Barrister forthe county of Waterford , for the purpose of takingthe opinion of that court on it. What that pointwas did not appear , and they had ordered that thecase should be sent back to the Assistant Barristerin order that he mig ht amend it , by stating dis-tinctly what the point of law was on which hewan ' f t r i the i r op inion. The case had been sentback according ly, and the Assistant Barrister hadreturned it in a state purporting to be in comp li-ance with the order of the court , but it was not ,and under these circumstances they should quashthe case, and only expect that in future jud geswho reserved points for that court would do so ina way in which the^r could be decided.

Their lordships then adjourned .

THE CATHOLIC CONVENTS

TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.May 28, 1853.

Fellow-countrymen— After patiently awaiiing, formuch precious time, an appeal to you from other quartersI can no longer chick the fecling3 that prompt me re-spectfully to call you to act !

The unhappy exasperations of the last two years haveat length eventuated, as was easily to be foreseen, in arenewed , and still baser, instance of English intolerancethan that of the contemptible, but mali gnant " TITLES'"bill. A most unmanly, as well as insultins;—a mustcowardly, as well as tyrannous measure bus been allowedto achieve its first stage in parliament, for outraging thefeelings, and breaking in upon the domestic privacy, and ,in the case of nnns, invading the holy and sanctified re-tirement, of our Catholic females of every class, degree,and position!

Shall this infamous measure pass into law 1 Thequestion lies simply and plainly with yo u ! True, weare weakened by the ravages of famine and the in'-reas-iug drain of emigration , and still more disastrously weak-ened by our dissensions and bootless recriminations. Buienough, still remain to save our country and defend ourfaith, if we be but true to iioth and to ourselves.

Let no man refuse to come forward now through fearof being thereby held as pledged to " R KPEAL" to Shar-man Crawford's bill , or any other popular demand thathe is not di-posed to advocate. If HEPKAL' be not inACs heart as itis bura t dcep in letters of LIVING FIRE intomine. I for one^will not supplicate his aM for it! Audyet fellow-countrymen, bow surely would not ' REPEAL'prevent for •. ver the recurrence of these outrages, securea constant attention to our grievances, and sibove all se •euro by the ncinind immelwte pressure of Irish opinionupon them steadinc*) aud faithfulness to princi ples andpleilgos amom; our par liamentary representative!*.

Neither ought be Uiwn ' Tenant Ji 'ujht,' either in itssimplicity or iis de.ilt with in ' Sharmnn Crawford's bill,'be importuned, or held as Unuid. But we will imploreof him , anil I for one, if necessary, wouid supp licate itof him with bemlcil Unce«, io stand by the anise, ot ourholy religion , ftn<i to throw himself with us lietwecu theP"or, ami devoted women of Ireland and the insolent un-manly cownnls who would dare insult tiiein !

We all-wi ll even tlmuk thouuma -.ily bteots who proposethis measure. A shameful selfish atath y might per-chance, in some few quart CM p'ovail il the sainted in-mates of our conveiu s were aloue struck ut. Hut ithiot so\ Our own private hou-es—our inmost domesticanduary—H12 pure ami gentle presence of our sisters 'wives,, nnd daug hters muy be invaded and outraged , ifwe be so base, so unw. -rthy of tho name of men as toaliow this bill to pass.

Our ariotocincy aud our gentry ought now at least tolak e their rightful places at the head of the people Ourrevered prelacy and our singularly ft mil-able priesthoodare ever tnie and ready. The press is stoutly and ener-getically doing its duiy. A portion of our representativeshave already given proofs of their zeal, high ability, and:ardent ¦ii-terrainntioa. i .et us hope that the rrst will , on:the coining occasion , equally vindicate themselves fromthe charge of apath y ut surh a time. And above all,Mlnw-couutryuieii , 1ft us B!IOW that whoever may befaini)iF ;irtc-< if otiy there should bi- at such a time, thecharge shall not lie upon us !

PETITION AGAINST THE NUNNERIES BILL,AS APPROVED OF BY CARDINAL WISE-MAN.

To the Right Honourable and HononrabU the KnightsiCitizens, tnd Burgesses in Parliament assembled.The petition of the undersigned Catholic married

women of Great Britain and Ireland.Humbly Showeth—That your petitioners have

been all educated in Catholic convents : or havedanghters who have either received their education insimilar establishments; that many of your petitionershave daughters and other near relatives who areinmates of convents and members of these rel giouscommunities ; and that they, therefore feel it theirduty to watch over the honour and character of theseplaces of education, as matters in which their ownhonour and that of their children are deeply con-cerned

That your petitioners have heard with feelingswhich they have not been accustomed to suffer, andwhich they have no language to express certain pro-ceedings in your honourable house, and certainstatements alleged to have been made within itswalls, which could only have arisen from great igno-ransc and misconception.

That your petitioners, from early acquaintance),and subsequent intercourse with religious establish-ments, are able to speak with the fullest confidenceof the habits and disposition of their inmates, as wellas of the rules and regulations of conventual life.That the supposed incarceration of a Nun againsther will is as repugnant to the spirit and feeling ofEnglish ladies in society ; and mat your p etitionersregard such a suppsition as incredible and impos-sible.

That your petitioners believe and venture to assureyou that the peace and serenity, the happiness andcontent that appear to pervade the minds of thosewho have embraced a religious life, are far greaterthan has been their good fortune to witness in anyother state or condition.

That your petitioners are persuaded that the sys-tem of visitation , proposed to your honourable house,would be fel t by every Religious in England as agrievous insult and indignity ; that your petitionersthemselves would regard it with feelings not lesspainful and that they, therefore, pray your honoura-ble house to reject a proposition which is not calledfor bya single fact or circumstance of the case itself,and which would be felt by all whom it would affectas an outrage on the sanctity, privacy, modesty, anddignity of the Englishwomen.

And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

REVIEW OF TUB BRITISH CORN TRADEDUKIN 'G THE PAST WEEK.

( From the Mark Lane Hxpress of Wednesday. )Some uneasiness was beginning to be felt respect-

ing the probable effects of a longer continuance ofsuch weather as was experienced from nearly thecommencpment of the month up to Wednesday, thehot days nnd cold nights being considered unfavour-able to vegetation. The wind has since shifted to thewestward, and rather copious showers have fallen indifferent parts of the country. Under the combinedinfluence of heatand moisture, the various crops haveimproved in appearance, and the reports from theagricultural districts are already ofa more cheerfulcharacter ; at the same time, the estimates of theprobable result of the harvest are not by any meanssanguine.

Foreign wheat continues to come freely to hand,and during the week ending Saturday evening, notless than 2G.020 qrs. have been reported. Goodqualities of Lower Baltic wheat have been held at40s. to 48s. and snperior Rostock at 50s. Somevery fine high mixed Danzig has lately been sold atover 60s per qr. Moderately good Polish Odessahas realised from 35s. 6d. up to 36a.

From the Continent only 970 sacks have come tohand , and supplies from America have amounted to1,286 brls.

The operations in malt have not been of muchimportance, and its value has undergone no changerequiring notice.

The arrival of oats from our own coast haveamounted to only a few hundred quarters ; but0,000 qrs. having been received- from Ireland, and16,000 from abroad , the dealers have experienced nodifficulty in buying at previous prices.

There has not been much doing in Indian corn,but the article has been held with great firmness.For Ibrail, 26s. 6d. per qr., cost, freight, and insu-rance has beeu asked.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE— XVzDxaoir.English Wheat lully maintains last week's prices. Foreigniad a rair sale at rnther more money. Floating cargoes—OnSaturday a few changed hands at Is. advance, but few remain-ing off the coast now. For those on passage advanced rates arefirmly insisted, which checks business.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE—WEDSUDAT.We had rather a slow market to-day for every description ofgram, i-xcept prime oats, vyhich met a smart demand at a small

advance since Friday. Indian corn must be noted a shade lowernnd dull at the decline. These are the only alteration we havato note :—

White wheat, 26s to 30n—red do., 25s to 23f—barley, 13s 6rtto 10s od—oats, Ida Od to 13s—rapeseed, 21R to 23) per barrel natiiieal , Il» to 13v—bakers ' flour, 14s 6d to lis per cwt—Indian corn, 30s to 32s 0J per 4801bs.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE—WEDSISDXT.The improved tone of the trade throughout the country, fol-

lowed by the ameni 'mcnt in Mark-lane , has influenced furthersteadiness at our market to-day. With only a moderate quan-tity of fresh wheats, either white or yellow, offerin", such desenptions are mostly held for an advance of Jd. to 2d. per bushelon the currency of this day week, but higher rates are reluct-antly paid. Flour, with a good sale to bakers, is 3d. to 6d- perbarrel dearer. Indian corn in tolerable demand.

NOTES FROM AMERICA

{From the Tablet Correspondent.)MILWAUKIE.

The view of this city from the lake is very fine ,being situated on a considerable eminence of severalhundred feet, gradually ascending from the water.The bay is protected by two headlands, which giveto the harbour the appearance of a crescent. Thecity extends nearly two miles along the lake, orrather along the bay, and goes back nearly a mileand a-half towards the interior, having a populationof twenty-four thousand. The city is built on theborder of" the lake, at the junction of two beatifulrivers, the Milwaukee and Menomonee, which unitealmost in the centre of the city, and add greatly to itsbeauty. The ground occup ied by the city, \inless downnear the rivers, is very uneven , and affords great faci-lities for sewerage, thus rendering the locality healthy.From the upper parts there is a full view of the lake,the bay, and its shipping, and of the country ior aconsiderable distance.

The population is composed of Irish, German ,Americans, and a few French and Hollanders. TheIrish are numerous, but the Germans are still moreso. There are four churches, two English and twoGerman , besides tho new cathedral not yet openedto the public. This last is a noble structure, built inthe most lofty part of the city, and overtopping allthe conventicles. It is one hundred and eighty feetlong and eighty wide. The tower will contain amammoth clock, to be donated by the city. Thealtar was manufactured in France, and is truly beau-tiful , of the finest marble. The Bishop's chapel at-tached to this cathedral , and used by the congrega-tion on week days, is really a gem. I rarely sawanything so beautiful . Besides the Catholic churches,there nre fnni-tpen or fifteen conventicles for all kindsof religionists, from High Church Lutherans downto the latest of these diabolical human inventions,in which human pride and diablery are the lendingmotors. The houses are generally fine, and equal insize and beauty of architecture to those in the easterncities. They are built of a white brick, which givesat a distance the appearance of stone. There arevery few public buildings. The people resemblevery much those in the old country. The summersnot being very severe, there is more freshness thanis usually cxhihited by Americans. They are kindand civil , and according to all appearance morepolished than those nearer the seabord. They areexceedingly passionate, and murders of the most ap-palling nature are not unfrequcnt. Only yesterdaya young man shot his mother because she married asecond husband ; and a very interesting lady isnow to bo tried here for having shot her lover, be-cause he would not instantl y make good hi3 engage-ments. Drunkenness seems to be a prevailing viceamongst all classes here ; and I am sorry to say ourcountrymen are frightfully given to the use of in-toxicating drinks. Many of the original settlers haveno fixed rel igious principles, and numbers are infi-dels. The great majority, however, of the Irish arevery [{attentive to all religious obligations, and aregood citizens. There is no respect for human life inAmerica.

O CONNELL AND D'ESTERRE

' Bontley 's Miscellany ' for this month contains,amongst other entertaing articles, a very circumstan-tial account of the celebrated duel between Mr.D'Esterre and Daniel O'Connell. In the year 1815,the great agitator has ventured to designate the mu-nicipal body of the city of Dublin as a ' beggarlycorporation .' Mr. D'Esterre, who was a retired ma-rine officer , and a member of the Dublin CommonCouncil , consideted these words to be personally of-fensive, and accordingly penned a challenge to Mr.O"C. A ' meeting ' thereupon took place, the tra-gical termination of which occasioned Mr. O'Con-nell ' to register a vow in heaven ' never to acceptanother challenge. The combatan ts were, as itturned out, well matched , although from their pre-vious habits, a very different resul t might have beenanticipated from the affray to that which actually oc-curred. Mr. D'Esterre and his antagonist are thusdescribed :—

"D'Esterr e wfts a reputed fire-eater , and his cooldetermination had been proved on a very tryingoccasion. The mutineers at the Nore had seized himand required him on pain of death to assume the com-man d of a ship, which he firmly refused, and he wasactually tied up at the yardarm with a halter roundhis neck ; but he never fal tered. ' Hall away, ye lub-tions, or that similar results will not follow wherebers ?' was hi-! defying answer to the lastoffir of these dishonourable terms. In the next mo-ment he would have been dangling in the air, hadnot the chief mutineers, in generous admiration ofa spirit so apt to excite the sympathies, interposedand procured a respite for further parley. An hourat such a crysis is generally equivalent to a life. Hewas sent back to his cabin ; and before the time al-lowed for the definite enforcement of the conditionshad arrived, the rage of the conspirators had cooleddown. After some further detention , he was sentashore to jo in the other officers of the fleet.

It was supposed that such an antagonist wouldprove an awkward customer to O'Connell, againstwhose personal courage doubts were entertained.Not long before, an unseemly quarrel with a brotherof the long robe had been adjusted in a manner littleconformable to the turbulent notion s of honour atthat time prevalent. At some minor court, where itwas safe to take liberties with the presiding power,O'Connell met an argument of the opposite counsel,Maurice M'Grath , with his unparliamentaryrejoinder — ' Maurice, you lie ; and Maurice,taking up a volume of the ' Statutes at Large,' thatlay convenient for such a purpose, flung the sameat his learned friend's head. A message followed,and on the ground , when the pistol had been handedto the parties, O'Connell , who was the challenget ,exclaimed , with that dramatic pathos in which he hadno superior, cither on the[stage or off it, ' Now am Igoing to fire at my dearest friend." This led to areconciliation, and no powder was burned.

An ill-uatured and sanguinary public was notslow to assign the worst motive to the reminiscencesof friendship at such a moment ;. and hence peoplewere prepared to expect an easy triumph for Mr.D'Esterre.

As the circumstances of the duel are now nearlyforgotten, and are likely to prove interesting, weinsert them at length—? ( r1 ;

f j&.t ' ' " " THE DUEL. ''

The story of Jus encounter, with D'Esterre is soontold. As he said himself in the letter to Lidwell ,they had ' little fighting.' It was nearly sunset whenthey were placed on the ground,'in ajfield at Bishop 'scourt , in the county of Kildare, about twelve milesdistant from Dublin. The place was well chosen forspectators, being near the foot of a hill , from whichmany thousands could, and did , behold the proceed-ings without crowding or interruption. A chillingsight it must have been to the small party of friendswho attended poor D'Esterre, to find themselveshemmed in on every side by hostile ranks, whose me-nacing looks left no reason to doubt that a speedy, re-tribution would follow, should the resul t prove unto-ward to the popular idol. They must have been menof no ordinary determination to have consented tostand the hazard of all against such threateningodds ; no rules of chivalry required them to enterlists surrounded exclusively by the partisans of anadverse and angry faction ; and it certainly arguedhut little magnanimity in the managers at the oppo-site side not to have rejected such a fearful advan-tage, and proposed a more secret meeting.

Not one of the whole assemblage maintained amore intrep id demeanour , under these trying circum-stances, than D'Esterre. However needlessly hemay have sought the quarrel , being in, he conductedhimself with unaffected manliness. His second wasa brother corporator, who, inexperienced in thescience of projectiles , accepted the services of anadept in loading the pistols. A great deal was sup-posed to depend upon that operation ; half a grainof powder, over or under, being deemed equal to thesquare of the distance in determining the point ofincidence. The old tacticians did not use to be soprecise, butshook the charge at discretion , out of apowder horn. Happily it has almost censed to be ofthe least importance whichever of the two methodsbe the more effective. But, on the occasion of whichwe sneak, it seems not improbable that over exactscience saved O'Connell "a life.

Mr. Frederick Piers, who had undertaken tho niceoperation of measuring oiit the menstrum necessaryfor giving the bolus due effect, is supposed to haveheen too sparing of his powder. Some persons, whowere spectators of the event, alleged that the faultwas D'EHerre 's who, in-Iiis haste to have the firstshot, fired before his pistol had- been brought to aproper level. Whatever , tho .- cause, the bullet en-tered the i-round beforefP/Iponiiell's feet, and he,never the .man to throw aSi^HMjance' away, took8 steady aira and shot hii^fltoM^-in

the hip.

The ceremonial observed on this occasion differedfrom that which was: usually observed, in the omis sioof any signal, or won I of command, The partieswere placed on the ground, and left to their own dis-cretion to choose their time, and to use the weaponsof offence which had been committed to them.

The reason assigned for this departure from the regular usage was |that D'Esterre had, in a previous-' rencontre,' fired at his man before the word couldbe given , and hit him ; and that it was thereforedeemed advisable to preclude him from taking a si-milar advantage on this occasion.

The procedure was not without a precedent. Cur-ran , a great many years before, when he was a strip-ling unknown to fum e, provoked a quarrel in theCircuit Court of Clonmel , with one Walsh, the mob-favourite of his day, and they went out accompaniedby the whole Court,, except the jud ge and jury. Theywere taken to a field , well inclosed with hedges, andplaced in opposite corners, just as if they had been apair of bulls turned1 into a paddock. The whole po-pulation , from the outside of the fence, eagerlywatched and encouraged their mutual advances.They both fired , and missed ; ' lame and impotentconclusion ,' provocative of derisive cheers,'amid theechoes of which, the^ombatants re-entered the Courtto receive the ironical congratulations of their long-robed brethren. The affair had occupied about threequarter of an hour.

But, on this occasion, it was no derisive cheerwhich rose up to heaven ; but a loud and cruel yellof triumph went forth from the valley, and was senthack again fro m the hills , while its echoes were pro-longed from fiel d to fiel d, and passed away to distantmultitudes, who telegraphed the event, with incredi-ble speed , into the heart of the city. The haplessvictim of his own intemperate folly, lay writhing intorture ; but the pang which that shout sent throughhis heart, far surpassed—as he described it on hisdying bed—the anguish of his wound. A bitterthing surely it must be, to hear thousands of yourfellow creatures rejoicing, with one voice, in yourcalamity, and such was the requiem which attendedpoor D'Esterre from that luckless field. The follow-ing day, while the shades of death were thickeningaround him , his victor—taking his ease at his inn—was speculating on the advantages which the Catho-lic question might reap from the patronage of theEarl of Donoughmore.

NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND

The adjourned annual meeting of this corporationwas held on Wednesday, at the offices in Old Broad-street, London, Fowler Ncwsom, Esq., in the chair.

Rome discussion: took place as to the validity of theelection of Mr. Elliott at the original meeting, andthe construction to he put on the 135th and 139thclauses of the deed of settlement having referenceto the mode of taking the ballot for the election ofdirectors going out by rotation or otherwise, when itwas moved that Mr. Elliott be now elected a directorin the room of the Earl of Harrington ; and thelegal adviser of the company having stated the legalpoints, the discussion ended by the election of Mr.Elliott. The adjourned meeting then closed.

The eighteenth annual general meeting was heldat onejo'clock , Fowler Newsom, Esq., in the chair.

The Secretary having read the advertisement con-vening the meeting, next proceeded to read the fol-lowing report :—

"The directors beg to summit to the proprietorstheir eighteenth annual report , and they do so withgreat pleasure, inasmuch as the result of the year'stransactions has proved highly satisfactory, realisingall that the directors had on previous occasions ven-tured to predict of the capabilities of the bank , andaffording unmistakcable evidence of the increase ofconfidence which this national institution enjoys inthe public mind.

" The year 1852 m Ireland was one of uniformtranquijlity, unmarked by political or commercial ex-citemerit. The harvest was a fair average one ; allkinds of stock commanded remunerative prices.Fresh sources of enterprise and activity were openedin different parts: of the country, and altogether thetransactions entered into by both the commercial andagricultural classes were generally of so safe and suc-cessful a character , that although the rate of intereston money, has again ruled very low, the past yearon the whole has been a favourable one for bank-ing.

" The directors have unhesitatingly afforded themost liberal assistance towards develop ing and ad-vancing that improvement which happily is now ma-nifest throughout Ireland , in which liberal policythey are sure they only antici pated the wishes of theproprietary, and1 they trust it will insure for them acontinuance of the confidence of the shareholders ,when they add that by firml y adhering to their fixe ddetermination not to rim unreasonable risk for thepurpose of increasing business without a proper re-gard to the result , the losses by bad and doubtfuldebts luve been far less than have ever before at-tended the transactions of the bank , and notwith-standing the accommodation afforded to the custom-ers of the bank was to a much greater extent than atanv former period.

" Indeed , so decided and universal has been theincreased prosperity of the country, that some smallbranches which the directors feared they might becompelled to close as unproductive , now yield a pro-fit , and the directors have even been induced to opennew branches at Mountmellick and Lisinore, with ,as the directors hope, every prospect of success.

" Continuing the same form of accounts as for thelast two years past, the first statement, that of profitand loss, shows that—The undivided profits

the niwiu derive.1 fro m the public by increased circula-tion and additional deposits amount to nearly half a mil-lion moro than at the same period lust year , a circum-stance to winch the directors refer with peculiur satisfac-tion, as offering tho most gratifying proof that tlic pro-sent prospects of the bank afford evevy ground for ooufi-dence in its increasing and permanent projperi ty.

" Under all the circumstance*, therefore, not onl y inthe improvement which has taken place in the country.but also in the affairs of tho bank, the directors feelthemselves ju stified in announci ng to the proprietors theirintention in July next of resuming tho payment ot a 5per cent, -lividcnd.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER—LONDON

AN IRISH MARRIAGE .—The case of Stockbri dgeversus Quick was tried in this court on Tuesday. Theplaintiff in this action was a livery-stable-keepar atMaida-hill, and the defendant a married woman,separated from her husband , and passing by the nameof Black wood, residing in Jcrmyn-street. The ac-tion was brought to recover £42 10s. for the hire ofa brougham and horses in the year 1851. The de-fendant pleaded never indebted , and that she v,-as amarried woman at the time of making the contract.The plaintiff had for some time in 1851 supplied thedefendant with a brougham and horses, and he onl yknew her by the name of Blackwood. His chargewas 2s. Gd. for the firs t and 2s. for every subsequenthour. A Mr. Walter Scott Lockhart Scott had givena promissory note for the amount, which note, how-ever , was dishonoured. The plaintiff' s case havingbeen proved, on the part of the defendant a Mrs.Leahy was called, who stated that she was present inMay,'1842, at the marriage oi the defendant, in thevicinity of Dublin, who then went under the nameof Catherine Sullivan, and was sometimes called" Kate Jtoach,"to a Mr. Quick , an ensign in the14th Regiment. After the marriage, she travelledwith her husband until 184S, when they separated ,her husband having been sent to the Fleet prison.She had resided in Jermyn-strcet since that period.The marriage took place in the house of a Mr. Ma-gnire, by a clergyman of the established church.Mrs. Maguire, widow of the clergyman in question ,produced the registry, to which Mr. Knowles ob-j ecte^, on the ground that the ceremony was not per-formed in a church. Mr. Baron Purke said there wasno Irish act of parliament regulating marriages be-fore 1815 ; and it appeared to him that the marriagewas quite legal. Mrs. Quick , a good-looking youngwoman , fashionably dressed , deposed to being anative of Cork, and to having married Mr. Quick in1842. She had passed under the names of O'Sul-livan and " Kate Roach," both in Cork and Dublin.Since her separation she had resided in Jermyn-street ,under the name of Blackwood. She had been visit-ed by the brother of her husband , who had tveitedher with the respect due to his brother 's wife; Thelast time she had seen her husband wasaccidentally atthe Great Exhibition in 1851. It appeared that thedefendant frequently drove round the parks in theplaintiff' s brougham , and often to Richmond. Mr.Knowles said he could not c"'nt?nd that no ceremonyhad taken place ; but he urged that the pretendedmarriage was not legal. Mr. Baron Parke : I amclearly of opinion that the marriage was a legal on?,and that a verdict must pass on the second issue forthe defendant. Verdict for the defendant.

WATERLOO YARNS.The world has been listening for years to stories of

Waterloo ; but it would seem that, like a certainother commodity, long since familiar to our readers,' there ,are a few more of the same sort.' We do notremember to have seep the following in print , thoughin those typographic times were that really the case,it would be in the most curious point in it :—

An individual who owned a small tavern near theeventful field was frequently questioned by visitorsas to whether he did not possess some relics of thebattle, and as invariably honestly answered in thenegative. But he was very poor, and one day•while lamenting to a neighbour, not only his poverty,but the: annoyances which travellers subjected him,his friend cut him short with ,' Well , make the one help the other.

ON THE NECESSITY FOR FREQUENT 1^FALLOWINGS. • -o v ;r • :

He who casts Ihe - least observant eye over ourfields can scarcely fail to remark, even where themore improved agricultural courses are adopted, howvery little we are advanced towards a perfect tillage

a system which shall exclude from the soil everyproduce but that, which we would have it yield—every crop but that which we would cultivate on it.He sees everywhere weeds and rubbish eating upthe food which should go to the nourishment of hiscorn ; and, on his meadows and pasture lands occu-pying the place of nutritive grasses. He sees in thefirst crop of the course, unless that be of potatoes, animmensity of labour and preparation called for be-fore the fanner can deposit his seed in the ground,that seriously trenches on .the profits of the crop—repeatedly ploughings, harrowings, rollings, grub-bings, a sufficientl y reduced tilth for seed bed withrepeated gatherings of loot-weeds, and, afrer all thislabour, crop after crop of seed weeds are to berooted up during the growing of the crop, and yet,how frequently a clean track is not left.

Why is all this labour now required ? How wasall this dirt accumulated ? Simply by reason thatthrough all the preceding years of the course labourhas been grudged, and weeds of all descriptions havebeen allowed an undisturbed possession of the landspreading their roots and disseminating their weeds,a., if the reduction of the fertility of the soil werematter of indifference to the tiller of it, as if exhu-beran c s were it' sin.

If to prevent the growth of weeds, to mantain aconstant motion and action in the soil, to mix andrs-mix its various particulars so as to cause a conti-nuous chemical action ;among them ; an action whichcan only occur in immediate contact, by repeatedstirrings of the soil, are necsssary, and that the con-ditions so produced are requisite to promote the fulldevelopment of what are called fallow crops, howenn we doubt that these same operations are equallyrequired to produce a. fuller development of thosewhich we have hitherto placed under similar condi-fhey are so placed. Wh y should «*p hesitate makeour grnin crops also fallow ones ? Do the roots notequally with our sowed crops require ground to ex-pand in and to extract their nutriment ? Therewas a time when the turni p crop was as commonly abroffd ca't crop os the corn now is, and it was thenan innovat 'on to drill turn -ps at a hce:ng distnnce asit is now to d ill corn. Yet who would now revert tothis ob?olete t l!a!.re of turni ps ? The old schoollookers-on of the first drillers of turn ips were nsmuch shocked at a waste of ground between hisrows at our broadcast sowers nre now at the waste ofground between the rows of drilled corn. To extir-pate weeds from our land , an occasional f:illow hasbeen proved by 0 ir d lily experience to he quite in-sufficient , to do it effe tu- 11 every crnp that can h?,must be made fallow by !;ei.ig sown in rows ;it suchdistances as will allow of either horse or hand-work-ing? between them ; we are not to be alarmed at theidea of the expense that will be thus incurred , forwe cannot conceive that any additional will be in-curred , the labour of the year will only be spreadover the other years of the course, and as every ye.irthe quantity of weeds to he des royed will be di-minished ; the expense so far as weeds are concerned ,will he annually lessened , while the produce of ourcultivated crops will from the entire fertility of thesoil being given up to them alone, he much increased.

We have been accustomed to sow and plant cor-tafn crops at hoeing distances ; we, therefore, readil3radmit the propriety of doing so, but we have notbeen so impressed in regard to grain , and besidethis, from the straight , upward , unspreading growthof the cereals, the necessity of allowing them spaceto gather their food is not so evident. A little con-sideration will , however, convince us that they mustroquirc this field of food, and a very little practicewill confirm this conviction by the .superior yield ofa hoed crop of grain over that of a broadcast one,and even of on? at such narrow distances as do notadmitof effectual cleansing hoeings.—[J. M. Goodiff,Granard , in the ' Advocate. ']

LAUNCH IN WEXFORD.On Thursday evening, Mr. Sparrow 's dock-yard

wanted a scene of unusual animation. A beauti-ful brig, built for Mr. R. J. Deverenx , of that town ,and intended to carrv about 250 tons, was launchedat eisht o'clock.

HAT-MOVING—EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.

Sunday 's-well. May 27, 1853.Mr. Editor,—Your readers need not be incredu-

lous respecting the phenomenon of table-moving.—On last evening I was present at a hat-moving,which was conducted as follows :—A small table wasplaced in the centre of the roo-n : an ordinary silk hatwas placed thereon , with the leaf downwards. Twogentlemen and two ladies placed their hands lightlyon the crown , their fingers touching each other to es-tablish the electric chain. In about two minutes thehat began to move gently in a circle, which increas-ed graduall y, and in about five minutes it increasedits velocity in a most extraordinary manner, whirlinground to the utmost; extent that the table would ad-mit. A lady and gcnt.eman having withdrawn theirhands the speed diminished.

That the experiment was fairly tried I can confi-dentl y assert—the persons engaged were all anxiousto test the matter fairly, and the result removed alldoubt , and astonished all who were in the room. Anyof your readers who try the experiment will be satis-fied with the result. Three can perform it as wellas four? Thoir hands should be placed lightly onthe crown of the hat and touching each oth er. Alllaughing °r talking should be avoided , as the concen-tration of the mind ¦on the object will great'y contri-bute to the success of the trial.

RICHARD R. BRASH.—[Cork Examiner.]

F<OHT WITH A PANTHER .—The ' Arkansas Shield'contains an account, of a desperate fight between aman and two women on one side, and a panther onthe other. The fight took place on Beaver Bayou ,Phillip's County, Arkansas, on the 10th ult. Onthat day, Mr. Grimes had left his.house during thedeep snow that then lay on the ground , to procuresome firewood from the adjoining forest, leaving inthe house a sick child , his wife, and her mother.Attracted by the crying of the child, it is supposed ,a large and fierce panther approached the door of thehouse. The imitative note of a child cry ing drewto the door Mrs. Grimes, most fortunately, for al-ready was the nose of the fierce intiuder thrustwithin the door. By an effort she succeeded in closingthe door and shutting out the panther. An alatmwas then given by the ladies, which drew to thehouse Mr. Grimes, supposing his child to be ill.Judge then of his surprise upon seeing, cooly seatedupon the steps of his door , a huge panther. Mr.Grimes advanced and attempted to get possession ofhis gun, which his wife had , opening the back door,brought round to him. Crouching, with his tailswitching and eyes; glaring, the pnnther watchedevery movement of Mr. Grimes. At the very mo-ment that he grasped his gun, and before he coulduse it, the panther made a spring at his throat . Withgreat presence of mind he grasped at the monsterand caught at him by the throat. The panther gotthe left arm of Mr. Grimes in his mouth, and victoryseemed to be with him. Every muscle of Mr. Grime3was now strained to the utmost, and a long struggleensued ; the panther was thrown, and,'by placing nisknee on his neck and retaining the grasp he had onhis throat, he succeeded in releasing from thejawsof the pan ther his left arm. They again rose fromthe ground, the man never abandoning his vice-likehold of his throat, and having both of his fore legs
