REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA , no . x . The following extracts shed considerable light upon the HIUTARr FORCE OF EUS 3 IA . The Russian peasantry , who , when disciplined , constitute seme of the best infantry in Europe—superior in Steadiness to any , excepting tbe English , the Swedes , and the Swiss—are naturally a most pacific race , and , of all others , wouH seem least calculated for the career ef arms . Timid in their disposition , feeble in constitution , they can neither endure long marches , nor resist the hardships of a campaign . In even a greater degree than the inhabitants of any other European countries , accustomed to a watery food , of which they require great quantities , they soon fall victim ? to famine , and disease ! and epidemics rapidly thin their numbers when exposed
to scarcity and fatigue . How different in reality from the picture we have been accustomed to contemplate of % old and enduring barbarians , whose iron frames set at defiance all privations and fatigue ! In what , therefore , consists their superiorit y * Only in this , that they obey ; —that servitude has taught obedience without a murmur . A Russian regiment , if destined for a long march , cannot go more than twenty-five wersts , or sixteen and two-~ thirds English miles per day . marching two days and lasting tbe third . If this distance be augmented , it leaves many men upon the road ! With tour black bread-Vucuit for his food , and upwards of eighty pormdsEnglish , in arm ? , cartridges , and equipments to weigh down a -frame -which has no stamina to support it , it is not sur-¦ prising that seventy-fire miles in six days should be the limit whieh the soldier cannot pass witb impunity . But , nevertheless , if he should be ordered to perform ten times that distance , he wonld at least try it , and without
rejiznmg . We find , in the annals of Russian campaign * , accounts -of long and painful marches performed hy Muscovite troops . We find them submitting , indeed , to every hardship without complaint ; but , marking their track as tbey went by the dead bodies of those who succumbed to fatigue and to disease . In two campaigns in the last Turkish war , the Russian army lost at least 150 . 000 men from sickness and fatigue alone : and although their European -tactics and discipline rendered them everywhere , in a fair and open field , more than a match for tbe Tnrks—who appear not only to hare Install their military skill , but ¦ not even to ha r e perpetuated in their armies , tradi -iional ' y , the system of attack so peculiarly applicable to
-tbe wild and desultory forces of which they are composed , -which once rendered them so formidable , and of which Montecuculi , in his military memoir , has left ns so spirited a description—jet , notwithstanding these advantages -30 much was the strength nf the invaders reduced , that it ia probable that a little more firmness , or a little farther prolongat i on even of a passive resistance , on the part of the Ottoman Porte , wonld have led to results most disastrous to the Russian arms . When the Russian soldier , vrho is little fitted , pftyjfca % , for his profession , has at last Survived the marches , the privations , and the inclemency of the seasons , and finds himself before the enemy , he stands trembling and timid in tbe place that discipline allots to bim in the ranks .
Uninspired by any military enthusiasm , or any patriotic feeling , or even by the spirit of natur . il pugnacity , which , for its own sake , invests the very act of strife and contention with charms in the eyes of certain races of men , the Russian private will do his duty ; he will stand passively to be cut to pieces , or he will advance as he is directed ; his arm may be unnerved , indsed , by his individual terrors , but still he keeps Ms place ; the man is there at his post , forming part and parcel of Abrave and formidvbU whole—a whole which stands unawed by danger , or which itself advances threatening . * * «
But if the Russian infantry soldier does bis duty—ns matter from wb . it motive—this is seldom the case with lis officer , particularly in all the subaltern grades of the profession . Equally devoid of patriotism , or of any pas--3 ( 00 for military glory , and naturally as little courageous as his men , Ms very ambition does not lead him to conquer his fears , nor any sense of honour , or any public opinion , to conceal them . He knows well , from the state of things which prevails in the armies , as everywhere else , notwithstanding the efforts of the emperor to remedy the evil , that flagrant cowardice is just as likely as bravery t > secure the recompense intended for the latter . To this must be added , that everything in his early education , and the circumstances in which he afterwards finds himself placed , contribute as far as possible to damp and -suppress that slender portion of animal courage with
"Which nature has originally endow , d him ; anil thus he too ofttn offers to bis soldiers a lam- ntable spectacle of lis cowardice in the field . These remarks apply chiefly to the officers of the line ; though , in some measure , they equally apply to those of the guards . The soldier , whether infantry or cavalry , of the guards or of the line , is taken almost invariably from the class of serfs , though a"l ; who are not noble are liable to foe conscription ; but the -freeman and trader always exempt themselves by the payment of a tax , which forms a branch of the revenue . , I very proprietor of slaves is bound to furnish a yearly per ceatage on the number he possesses—a proportion which -varies according to the exigencies of the state . He generally selects the most idle and worthless of his peasants ; Thai thi * Are seldom admitted if incapacitated by any physical infirmity for the service .
The Russian infantry consists of 72 regiments of th < r line , of T battalions each , 12 regiments of the guards , and 12 of the grenadier corps , and amounts , on paper , on the peace establishment , to 624 , 000 men , inclusive of the infantry of the independent armies of Orenburg , of Siberia , ths Caucasus , and Finland , and the garrison battalions , an account of which will be found in the general summing up of the forces of the empire . The number of btttalions to each regiment varies in the line , the guards , and grenadier corps ; but each battalion numbers 1000 men , unless on the peace establi-hnleut of a reserve corps , or in depot , in which case it consists of 590 men .
It is naturally impossible to do more than guess at -what number of soldiers are really embodied of those appearing on paper , since the emperor himself is in ignorance on this point , it being equally the interest o ' the comuwnding officers to reduce the list as low as pos , aible , and to conceal this reduction . Still , as the frame--work of all these corps is effective , whenever required for active service the gaps in their ranks would be speedily -filled up , and must be so at the responsibility of their chiefs . The total number of foot soldiers under arms probably exceeds in reJity 450 . 000 men .
Ths regular cavalry of tlie Russian empire consists of iS regiments of tlie line , 12 of the guards , and 12 of the grenadier corps ; one of Caucasian dragoons , and on . model regiment , of nine squadrons of 1 C 0 men eac " i , of -which eight take the field : it thus amounts , ou paper . to upwards of 51 , 000 men who take the field , and to 103 . 000 , inclusive of those in depot—in reality , probably , to 85 , 000 men . The irregular cavelry amounts to about 3 . 35 , 009 men , and is composed of the Cossacks of the TJral , thel ) on , ar . d Slack Sea , the Kirguise , the Tartais , the Bashkirs , and uthtr tribes . Of these about 90 , 000 are as well disciplined as the line . The Russian cavalry of the line is decidedly inferior to its infantry—especially all that part of it which is purely Muscovite , or composed Of the natives of Old Russia . These passive qualities which render the Russian formidable as an infanirv
soldier do not so advantageously apply to the hor-eman ; in whom nn active aud fiery valour is as necessary an element of excellence as obedience and discipline ,. . The Itussim peasant is also by habit no rider ; though horse * everywhere uboundin his country , he drives , but seldom mounts them . It is true that a portion of the Jtussian regular cavelry is recruited from tlie Ukraine , and other papulations , Cossack , or of Cossack origin ; and so far it is gool , for the Cossack is brave , warlike , hardy , ami -thoroughly accustomed to tbe horse , which be backjrom his earliest childhood . Bui as ih . s U only partially the case , on the whole the regular cavalry of tbe Russian army may be con-ilered as a very inefficient force ; aun such it unquestionably proved itsdf in almost every engagement of the late Polish war , when opposed to that of the Poles .
E * ery year camps are formed in different parts of the empire , that atKrosnoi Xelo . in the vicinity of St . Peters-Durg , being always occupied by the guards , who usual !} muster about 70 , 000 men ; and very frequently armies are collected toietti . r to manoeuvre , more vast -than any Other power in the wor d can assemble ; » uch as that of -the camp of Kalisb , and of the review at Boroitim > , - "where 120 , 000 men aud 800 pieces of cannon were present in mimic fight- * In all their formations we find the Russian infantry hothstoirer aud I wiser than the British , and probably a little inferior to what the French were , in 1337 , in point of speed , but preserving their order more closely . The cavalry manoeuvres well , but is very easily tired . The field artilery is very rapid in its evolutions and its fire , bat its target practice is strikingly inaccurate , a disadvantage which , whenever confined to the nso of round shot , must prove quite countervailing to the speed with -which the pieces are discharged ,

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . SANTA ANNA AGATN ~ IN POWER . -IMPRI SONMENT OF GENERAL PAREDES . The steam ship Caledonia , Captain Lott . entered oflfdayitt The most important item of news by the conveyances isthereportedamvalofSantaAnnain Mexico , his restoration again to power , and that of Paredes being deposed and imprisoned . Our advices from New Orleans state that b y the shi p Adelaide , Captain Adam-- from Havana , 0 th instant , we learn that tienerals Santa Anna , Almonte , and Rejon , chartered the steamer Arab , an English trading vessel , and proceeded to Vera Cruz on the evening of the 8 th , f 4 " l „ Purpose as General Santa Anna remarked , ot . making peace between the United States and Mexico . " TJNITEn STATES a \ rn mrvmn
Information reached Boston just before the Caledonia left for England announcing the complete success of the revolution in favour of Santa Anna , the deposing of General Paredes , and his imprisonment in the city of Mexico . The United States steamer Mississippi , arrived at Pensacola on the 19 th , bringingdates from Vera Cruz to the 13 th ult . Vera Cruz pronounced in favour of Santa Anna on the 1 st ., and the news of this step reached the capital on the 3 rd , when the garrison there under General Morales . numbering some 1 , 200 men , immediately sided with the new movement , and the following dava proclamation was issued by the Genera ' , to the effect that Santa Anna would shortly arrive , and resume tire reins of government . It wlb not know at Vera Cruz that the new President had already started from Havana , and it was proposed to send for him .
This would , no doubt , be rendered unnecessary , as though no news of his having landed at Sisal had reached New York or Boston , it was certain that be would be there about the loth or 16 th , having sailed f rom Havana on the 0 th . It is reported that the revolutionists in Mexico had issued a proclamation , declaring the determination < -f the Republic , under their new chief , to carry on a vigorous war against the United States . __ The advices from Gen . Taylor and his troops continued favorable as regards health . The absence of meansol transportation for the baggage continued to k ^ epth * m somiwhatatasland-still . " Fromallaccounts tbi-s department of the military operations appears to have been much illmanaged . for considerable contracts
were being filled fur waggons , which from the nature of the r- > ads through which the army will have to progress will be of no service whatever , and considerable quantities of mules wert being purchased in New Orleans , at three or four times the price at which they could be had in the immediate neighbourhood of the army . The main bodv of the army was at Carmargo . and as soon as they were in a capacity to move forward , the troops would advance to Monterey . The precise time of this movement was not known , but several weeks might elapse before it took place . A considerable difficulty in obtaining supplies was also anticipated incase of the troops moving further up the country , as those obtainable at Carmargo for so large a body of men , about 10 , 000 , were none of the best . Sevcrel skirmishes with the
Camanche Indians had taken place , but nothing worthy oi much note . The town of Mier was occupied on the 81 st of July by a detachment of 93 men . Tho Mexicans offered no opposition , though the place is capable of being well defended . The population is said to be about 0 . 000 , probably over-rated . Colonel Kearney ' s force , which left St . Louis for Santa Fe . had been heard from . They left Bentr % Fort on the 1 st . ult . all in good health . From information received from the traders , and from some spies they captured , ao opposition was expected to their taking Santa Fe . In fact , a proclamation had been issued by the Mexican authorities , stating the existence of the war would not interrupt the trade between Santa Fe and the United States .
On the 8 th ult ., an attack was made by a portion « f the American squadron upon Alvaredo . a port situated about 20 or 30 miles frem Vera Cruz . It appears that several vessels had taken shelter from the blockading force under the guns of the fort , and an attempt was made to cut them out . _ With this view , the steamers Princeton and Mississippi , and three sloaps . ran in and opened their guns upon the bitteries . which latter returned the fire without effect . The vessels were hauled in out of reat-h however , so the attack wa * given up . The regiments mustered at New York for service in California , were on the point of departure . Three ships had been entered , and were to sail immediately . Two companies of Mounted Riflemen from Baltimore had been summoned for Mexico , but with this exception , no more troops were under orders for the seat of war . Those already there muster about twelve thousand .
An accident had occurred on board the steam ship Palmetto , which till lately run between New York and Charleston . While at the Philadelphia wharf same of her steam pipes hurst , killing one man and seriously wounding several more . The Toronto Board of Trade had passed ' resolutions for petitioning Her Majesty from some relief from the laws requiring the carrying trade of Canada produce to and from British possessions to be performed in British ships . The present regulations give a mono-Holy to British bottoms , highly injurious to the traders of Canada West , and they urge that some concession is necessary , because , while the rates of freight from Canada West , via Montreal and the St . Lawrence , are so much higher than by New York , as -hey are at present , the canals will be thrown out of use .

Cholera I.V Persia.—Letters From Teheran...
Cholera i . v Persia . —Letters from Teheran of the 1 st of August , published by the Journal des Debats . announce the appearance of cholera in the capital of Persii . " In the beginning of the last year , " says the correspondent of the Debats , "tbe cholera , which had made considerable ravages at Lahore and Cabul , proceeded through Kouloum , Kondoz , and Bokhara , to Kiva , to the east ot the Caspian Sea . There it stopped some time , and it was believed that it would die away in those high and thinly-inhabited regions , but , suddenly driven off by the winds , it retraced its steps , and showed itself at Candahar . From this last city it reached llerat , and afterwards Mechhed , in the kingdom of Persia , and advanced to Meskinan , a small frontier town of Khorassan . ten days distant from Teheran . In the middle of June it broke out in me of the suburbs of that capital . Between the 20 th and 25 th the number of deaths was from six to ten , bat on the 30 th of July from forty to fiftv cases
oc'U-red daily . A brother of the Shah , Karaman Mirza , a young man of 26 , and several high per-¦ sonages , fell victims in a few hours to the epidemy . The Mussulman population , seized with terror , abandoned the city almost entirely , and retired into the mountains . The authorities -were the first to set the example of tiie general flight , and the city was almost deserted , the shops closed , and commerce and business completely interrupted . The Shah was then at the Gamp of Niaveran , with the Court and the Ministers . But , on the 24 th . Dr . Cloquct having observed four cases of cholera , the Kins , followed by his entire Court , suddenly withdrew from the camp ? o the distance of six leagues in the mountains . On the '©' lowing day , five persons of his suite having died , he retired from that new position to one of the highest summit * of Mount El-Bours . At Candahar . -ind Cabul the number of deaths when it was at its hemht , exeeeiled 300 r or day . "
Aden . attacked nv tub Arabs . — Let * era from Alexandria of the 30 th ult ., have brought important news from Aden . When the Post-office packet , the Akbar , parsed it , the town was surrounded hy Arabs , - . vho blockaded all the gates , and cut off all the supplies of provision . There had been a night encounter in which the Arabs had seven men killed , and a sreat many wounded . Several English who went on shore Vere massacred . When the packet took her departure a serious battle was expected . The Fkexch Regicide , Joseph IIe . nrt . —On the 25 th August , the first day of his trial before the Court : » f Peers , Joseph Henry sold his manufactory of fancy sti-el articles , to his son Frederic , for the sum of 20 , 000 francs , to be paid by five equal yearly ins * aln : ei ; ts , which by the deed of sale are secured to his creditors in payment of their claims . Sirce his removal to the prison of La ltoquette his mind has become more and more calm . He writes daiiv
- . itiier to iiis avocat or to persons who take an interest in his fate . He receives his son Frederic in the parloir , and xives him instructions as to the management of his business . He expresses his deep regret forthe illicit union in which he had been living , and deplores the fever under the influence of which he c « m-: iiited the crime for which he is condemned . On Friday morning , Joseph Henry -was sent off from the prison of La Roquette to the hulks at Toulon , in execution of the sentence of the Court of Peers . Until his being tranferred to this prison ho maintained hopes that his appeal to the King for a commutation would meet with some success , and more than once sent for his counsel , M . Barochc , to whom he expressed meat anxiety as to his fate- At six in
Hie moriiin-, he was informed that he must prepare to go to Toulon , undergo the usual process , and put on tlie dress worn by all persons sentenced to the hulks . Hesaak into a state of despair and almost stunnr , exclaiming , " Oh , God ! Oh , God ! All then is over ! No hope is left . " And when brought out to be put in tbe van , he saluted those around him , and seeing an inspector-general of prisons among them , he raised his eyes to liim and said , while his face streamed with perspiration whieh he endeavoured to conceal , hut could not , "I should have preferred death Seven other convicts , condemned to the Hells tor uiikreut terms of from S to 10 vears , -were srnt ti with lain .

Ireland. Resistance To Rents—Nenaoh.—A D...
IRELAND . Resistance to Rents—Nenaoh . —A demonstration against the payment of rents , under the passive resistance system , took place on Monday , on a neighbourincr estate . This estate of Loghoma contains about 800 acres , and is at present under the Courts , and a receiver appointed over it . The cattle and crops were under seizure , aud a sale was to have taken place on Monday . The place was surrounded by about a thousand men , who congregated together from all parts , in tens and twenys , leaving their farming work at a stand still , in order to attend the sale , not for the purpose of buying , but to prevent any one doing so . As a matter of course there was no purchaser , and at the end of their vigil , they marched off in regular order , firing shots . Amongst them could be reckoned from thirty to forty armed with double-barrel guns , blunderbusses , and muskets .
PROGRESS OP DISTRESS . —OPEN AIR MEETING . Pursuant to notices posted on all the chapels in the barony of Kenry , county of Limerick , a copy ot one of which appeared in the Times of Saturday , a meeting was held on Thursday , at Court hill , for the purpose of calling on the landlords to assemble and try by every means in their power to avert impending famine . Un arriving at Court-hill and Court-bridge , at one o ' clock , according to the Limerick Chronicle , tliero were assembled a multitude ot" 4 , 000 persons , including women and children . From Massy ' s-bridgc , to Court-bridge , a ' strong military force , comprising a troop of the 8 th Hussars , with Captains Todd , Grant , and Day ' s companies , 85 th under the command of Colonel Cox , Quartermaster-General , lined the road-side banks , being held in reserve for precaution , but did not approach the meeting .
The Rev . T Folkt , the parish priest at Stonehall , was voted to the chair , and told the multitude . they had assenibeld for the purpose of calling upon the resident and absentee landlords to aid in the endeavour about being made to mitigate the distress which now prevails to an alarming extent in that district . He knew they were well-disposed , and had no idea of doing anything calculated to lead to a breach of the peace . Therefore it was almost unnecessary for him to exort them to return quietly and orderly to their homes , as soon as the meeting was over . ( Cheers . ) i A YoiCfl . —We have our hopes in a good Government , that they will give us work , and not allow us to starve ; we are famishing at present for want offood .
Mr . T . Rose , Court , proposed the following resolution : — "That we , the farmers and labourers of the barony of Kenry , most respectfully call on tho landlords of this barony immcidately to meet their respective tenantry , and to suggest means with them to alleviate impending famine , and to give to their tenantry the means of support for themselves and families . " After proposing this resolution , Mr . Rose said he would be most happy in co-operating with the landlords of the district , and he earnestly hoped they would acquiesce in the spirit of his resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Michaei , Fitzgerald , of Pallaskenry , seconded it .
Mr . Michael Potter , Spring-lodge , proposed the next resolution— " That we do respectfully call on the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to order a baronial meeting for this our baronv . to adopt means to carry out tlie provisions of the 10 th Vic , to ive employment to a starving population . " Mr . Potter then said , he would not ask a penny from any man who had potatoe ground from him this year whose crop had failed —( cheers );—nor would he sec a neighbour of his want while he had a pDund in the world . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . John O'Reoas , repeal warden , Pallaskenry , seconded the resolution . Mr . John Mahony , repeal warden , Castletown , proposed— "That the thanks of this meeting be civen to the landlords , gentry , and farmers of this district , who came forward so liberally last year with subscriptions in aid of the distress , and particularly to those gentlemen who gave employment to their tenantry . "
CLOSMEL ELECTION . According to a Waterford paper , the lucky Mr Cecil Lawless was returned on Saturday in the room of the Right Hon . David Pigot , now Chief Baron of the Exchequer . Some discontent was expressed at the absence from the hustings of the new member , who is , it seems , amusinsr himself with the snort of cock-shooting in the Highlands of Scotland . Father Burk , however , who was appointed returning officer under the warrant of the " Liberator . " soon silenced the grumblers , and the hon . young Whig has thus received the just " consideration" for his £ . 5 contribution to tke consumptive exchequer of Conciliation-hall .
The Hon . Cecil Lawless , who is now in Scotland , was on Saturday elected M . P . for Clonmel . [ Can anything more forcibly illustrate the lamentable slavery of Ireland than such a miserable force as this election of a mere Whig in his abstnee at the command of the dictator of Burgh-quay ?] __ Fifty-sixproclamations have been issued , command , ing the holding of extraordinary presentmentsessions in various counties in Ireland . The levy to be made under the proclamations must be expended in " public works . " The landlord must pay half the expence . [ The landlords remind us of Leigh Hunt's fishes . They can " scream , " and the howl they have set up at the prospect of a practical application of the maxims that " property has its duties as well as its rights . " is such as only the landlords of Ireland could raise .
ASSEMBLAGES OF THE PEASANTRY . Dublin , Sept . 11 . There are further accounts of assemblages of the destitute peasantry in the :-outh and west , seeking f <> r employment as the means of saving them from starvation . On all hands it is admitted that these meetings , caused by dire necessity , are characterised invariably by order and tranquillity , and that the poor people exhibit an extent of patient endurance for which it would be difficult to find a parallel . The BallinasUe Star , Conservative paper , gives tho following report from that locality .
EiBEoourt . —This town , on last Wednesday , was the scene of one of those demonstrations of which in these times we are doomed to get many a sample . The labourers of this neighbourhood , to the number of about three hundred , gathered into town about two o ' clock , and having proceeded in a peaceful and orderly manner to the castle , urged their claims on Mr . Eyre , and explained to him the destitute condition in which they were left by the total failure of the potatoe crop , on which their sole dependence consisted . They represented to him the utter impossibility of being able to hold on even a wet-k longer . un ! e « s relief was afforded with no niggard hand , and with the utmost respect they nssured Mm that , however unwilling they should be to violate tbe private peace , and the rig hts of public property , they could not , would not starve while pl- 'iitjr was around th- m . and that it was
wor . e than idle to expect they should . Mr . Eyre , with all the kindliness of feeling for which he is so much be . loved by all classes , told them that their wants should very speedilj be relieved through the patermil vigilance ofa considerate government ; and that he , in conjunction with the other gentlemen of the neighbourhood , bad justprayed his Excellency to call a baronial sessions for the immediate selection and commencement of public works . After returning Jlr . Eyre heartfelt thanks for the attention and kindness he manifested towards tliern , andeitpreefiHga hope that they should not be obliged to proceed to unlawful extremities , the poor labourers' went their way rejoicing at the prospect of employment . Such of them as were in absolute want got momentary relief through the benevolence of Mrs . Eyre , who was greatly affected at the sight of so many human beingf on the verge of starvation . "
The Cork Reporter of Saturday contains the following remarkable statement : — Cork , Sept . 12 . —About two o ' clock yesterday a number of labouring men , from a distance of over twenty miles from Cork , the neighbourhood of Ball yfeard , came into the office of this paper , and presented a document , written evidently by one of their own body , aud containing a painful narrative of the sufferings which the labouring population in the barony of Kinutilcu—which they stated themselves to represent as a destitutionwere enduring . They intimated a desire that it should be advertised , as a public notice , and desired to know the cost of publishing it in that form . On reading over the document , wo found it to express , besides relations of misery pnd dire want , declarations that they would not be quietly borne with any longer—in a word , it » vas a formal notice that if certain condi tions were not complied with , such as would procure food for the famishing labourers , their wives and children , within a certain
specified time , and for which they w < re willing io give in I return their labour , that forcible means would be had re- j course to to procure it . Such is the most mitigated form in which wc can at present express the substaiu-e of the notice . Theparties connected with this journal to whom i it was referred took occasion to point out to the pcoylo who brought it , the dangerous nature of the course they took , and to represent how much they might increase the misery they complained of , and bring aggravated sufferings on themselves and their families , by the slightest violation of the rights of property , or the least approach to insubordination or outrage . Their replies , certainly , to remove any suspicion that they were disposed unnecessarily to commit any act of an illegal nature ; but they pleaded this one—by us unanswe rable—argument , " What are we to live upon—what will rt-e give our children to eat 1 We have no potatoes , r , nd wc call get no work . " Such was the burden , of ' iheir brief tale , ami after having made several ndditi < , „ al statements thej were induced to return to their 'iistriut and comfortlesi

Mr . Ray read the minutes of last meeting . Mr . J , O'Connell , having announced a small sub scnption , said , he wished at an early period to dispose of an unpleasant business which pressed upon his mind . Tliey had received a letter from a much respected gentleman . Mr . James Ilaughton ( a teetotalist Quaker ) , tenderhigi his resignation as a member of the association . The letter was aa tollows ; "SoEccles-sfcreetSeptII
„_ . „ . , , . . ,., Dear Sir , —I am favoured with your letterof the lotn . and I have read it with some surprise . You say that tho matter I have referred to was * concluded alter lengthened debates . ' I am not aware tint it was debated—I know it was decided : and I only Knewthat from reading the proceedings in Conciliation Hallot last Monday / and the correspondence I saw in some ot the papers between you and some gentlemen of the ' Young Ireland' party . " 1 have been a member of the association , I believe , since its formation . I fondlv honed it would ever he
the nurse of freedom , and of the freest discussion ; and I now see , with deep regret , that it has attempted to crush opponents who have not , as far as I can judge , exceeded the limits of fair controversy , or broken through any of the rules of the association : I am , therefore , reluctantly oblijjeil to withdraw from a society , who » e committee of management appear to me to have acted in opposition to our principle of association , and in doing so to have acted unjustly ; and I beg now to tender my resignation of membership in it .
" I repeat , that I have no sympathy with the warlike feelings of the ' Young Ireland' party ; but I think their errors should be civmbated by argument in . and not by expulsion from , the body with which they were connected . " It seems to me , that the only liberty which is truly valuable has been deeply injured by such a proceeding , and I feel constrained to enter my humble protest against the course pursued . " Will you have the kindness to read this correspondence at the next meeting of the association . " I remain , my respected friend , " Yuurs sincerely , " Jamus Hauuuton . " " To T . M . Ray , Esq , "
This letter was the close of a correspondence with Mr . Ray . Mr . J . O'Connell then proceeded to pay many compliments to Mr . ' Haughton , and to defend the expulsion process adopted by the association . He argued thafit \ vas a matter of sheer necessity to take this course , as , in their view of the law , it was not safe to maintain the doctrine of physical force , under any circumstances , in this ball . Out of respect to Mr . Ilaughton , however , they would insert his Jotter on the minutes , and direct their secretary to write an explanatory and conciliatory letter to him .
Mr . J . O'Connkll next read a short letter from Mr . Lloyd , of Beech Mount , County Limerick , desiring his name to be erased from the roll of members . Mr . Lloyd assigned no reason for taking tins step , but Mr . J . O'Connell supposed that it was in consequence of the tieatment which they had exhibited towards the young Irelanders . Mr . J . O'Connell talked at great length on some matters of business , and concluded by stating that they had received certain resolutions from the Manchester Repealers , expressive of their dissent from the movement of the association touching young Ireland . He would merely move that their letter and resolutions should be returned to them . ( Hear , hear . ) The rent at four o ' clock was announced to be 102 Z . 2 » . lrf . The want of work and food are producing their natural results : the Evening Packet of Tuesday says : —
" On Friday last about two hundred men , armed with scythes , pitchforks , & c ., wn < l fire-arms , went to a farm , held uinlcr the Court of Chancery , near Clonaslee , in the Queen ' s County , within a few miles of this town , and having driven off the keepers in charge of the crops , placed the grain ' crops on drays , carts , and cars , and carried a / 1 ail ' , firing several shots by way of triumph , The keepers having made way to the Clonaslee police , the const :. b ! e and three men hastened to tho seeue ; and , on coming up to the Cross of Killoughy , in this county , they found a large body of them drawn up there , who told the police to ' cimeon , ' for that they were ready for them , and kept them diverted by talk and threats for a considerable time , to give the party with tho com time to escape , which they did by taking different directions . The grain was afterwards traced and recovered .
On Monday night the town of Dungarvon and the whole surrounding county was in a blaze wi'll bonfires for many miles round . It is supposed that the object was to warn all persons wanting employment to come in hero tr-morrow to attend a sessions ' to be held under the Lord Lieutenant ' s proclamation , when the mob intend to compel the ' magistrates to grant all works appliedjbr . It is rumoured that the labourers intend to insist on a shilling a day , and also intend to prohibit the sale of corn by the farmers , who are compelled to keep the food for the peotdo . Tlie Clare Journal represents the want of food as becoming very urgent in that quarter , and calls upon the Government to take immediate steps to preserve the people from famine .
On Friday night , a car , laden with corny was stopped on the road to Limerick , and the owners compelled to retrace their steps by a volley of stoncp , and the firing of sh ts . The horse drawing the car was wounded in the side . The object of this outrage was to prevent tho sale of corn at market . Cheers were given with lusty voice at Ratbkcale and Newcastle , county Limerick , for the Young Ireland party , in tlie immediate hearing of Mr . O'Connell , as he was passing through last week . [ Dan must either retrace his step-, or submit to the loss of his influence over the people of Ireland , who are apparently getting " too knowing" be " caught by chaff" any longer . Apparently the " A iiitaror" is preparing for tlie latter event , by the manner in which he is pitchforking his dependents and relations intu places . "Make hay while the sun shines" says we , for the reign of the Whigs must be a short one . ]

STATE OF TRADE .
Leeds.—The Cloth Markets Have Been But T...
Leeds . —The cloth markets have been but thinly supplied with goods of a general description calculated fur the winter trade , and as the manufacturers tire delii ' t'i--ing these goods direct to the merchants , and there is but little doing for shipping , the markets at the Cloth Halls appear dull , whilst the fact is there is a fair nrcrngo business doing in balk good ? , and prices are rii in . There has been some little improvement in the demand for nnislieil goods this week . Moro buyers have visited the market than for sonic time , but the shipping houses are doing little . Ma . vchestek . —We have had little , if any , change in our cloth market since Tuesday , but , if any . ' it has beeu in favour of the manufacturers , who were very stiff in askitijr a small advance . JIail tliey submitted to last u-euk ' s rates , a very large business would have taken pluce . liotli dyers aud printers are well employed . 'J'liu liome trade is a ' little improved since ouv last . Yarns are without change , and a large business is doinir .
ltiiADFonD . —The demand tor combing wool is steady , and prices firm . For clothing wool there is a very ready sale , ami lusher prices are realised . The yarn trade continues ln-UU : prices are stationary , bub the spinners refuse to tike orders for future delivery , except at liurjicr prices . We may say that all the spinning frames in Jlr idford , now available , are at work , In the piece market there wasagoodattendar . ee of merchants . The sale of figures is declining ; for Cobunrs and T ' araniattas there is less demand , hut for strung fabrics , suitable for tlie ensu . in ; , ' season , the demand is very good , and prices very steady . IIu ddeksi-ield . —There has been a fair average market to-day iu seasonable goods ; and new fabrics , especially those suited for winter wear , sold readily . Prices remain fii-in . There is also a good demand for the better description of broad cloths . The trade iu tlie warehouses during the week has been rather brisk in some of the home houses , and many engaged iu the shipping trad- - arc very busy .
Halifax . —The piece trade here does not improve , as we usually expect to rind it at this season of the year . There is a tolerable amount of business iluimr in seremt departments of the yarn market , but prices are no ' , generally any better . For combing wools the demand this week has been very slack , but we hear of no altei'Alu > n in value . There is more animation in clothing sorts , though the call is principallv for low and middle qualities , which incline to be a little dearer , and stocks arc very low . liocjin . iLK FlAN . NEL Mabket . There lias been some improvement in the ttunuel market to-day , and rather more pieces have been sold than on the pruvuius . Monday . This time of the year should be , and is , generally , tbe best for ilannels . as the shops generally lay iu their winter stocks . There is a great scarcity of that , kind of middling priced wool wliich is used fornsimiels , and the demand irencvallv for tiii . * raw material has been limited .
Nottingham . —Yarns : The prices for yarns , of the immlvers of wV . ich form the staple materials for the bob . bin-wet trade ? , are decidedly tinner ; yet prices of goons , ] in Uie roiwU state , do not advance ai all in proportion . TUa liouiu demand for finished stock is quiet ; and we team that tho uxpu-t has been more limited during thctuilf-year than formerly . Drawi-r and shirt trade : Wc are happy to say , that in this branch of the manufacturing industry of this district , there is , generally speaking , great activity prevailing both here and at Leicester , osjnfcially in the lamb ' s wool and merino department . » ith those houses which tire exclusively or principally engaged in the manufacture of cotton drawers and shirts , there is , necessarily , some slackness , tha result of the change ot season , the Glove Trade is labouring under some dcpression , from a similar one to the e : itise last alluded to , » 3 ¦ itVecthur the "drawers" but still it is no worse , we believe , than it is generally found to be at this season ot ' # the year .

considerable degree , by . the circumstance that the period whew snew goods can be worn is fast waning away , Lkicxstkb . —Businesjremains much as usual . The demand is fair for the season . Workmen of all kinds are well employed . Material of all kinds continues firm . The production of fashioned or country hose has been much diminished in consequence- of the harvest and there is a reasonable prospect of a continued demand tor all sorts of useful goods for the prerfeftt . Glasgow . —The market for cotton goods still continues firm for general descriptions , and prices low . The accounts from the east are i till discoursing , but symptoms of f ; rmnoss are beginning to appear ; aau it ' expected that business there will be more animated when the senson is opened and business is fairly rosumad . The cotSon yarn market , during the past week has be « J very dull indeed , but prices have not receded . Barrel flour is consi deraoly dearer , with ovary prospect of a further rise . Ashes are more in demand ; several bund ed barrels have changed hands , and ' 23 s is now asked , Lard is again ffreatly up . The scarcity of bacon is improving its price , , and it will probably go higher stiU . Peas aud corn are dearer .

On Monday evcniii !! , after the performance of " Damon and Pythias , " which , as a spectacle , has met with eminent success , and of the "Scenes in tlie Circle , " full of their ordinary attraction , an entirely new necromantic ballot , entitled " The Vinedresser ' s Daughter , or the Sprite of the Enchanted Vineyard . " was produced at this theatre , arranged by Mr . Kochcz . It was full of those incidents peculiar to enchanted ballets . Jeanette , ( Miss Wnite . ) daughter of Old Pliillippio , the Yinedre ? scr , ( Mr . Johnson , ) is beloved hy Antonio , an assistant vinedresser , ( Mr . W . Harvey- ) She reciprocates the attachment , hut is crossed in her inclination by her cautious and ealculatinc sire , who ranking with hard-hearted fathers prefers Timothy Timkins , a cockney adventurer . ( Mr . Henry , ) whom he accepts as her future husbti"d . Poor Timkins , in pushing his suit , meets with many rebuffs and discouragements from
Jeanette , yet , aided by her father , determines to follow out his molvo , and not to relax in his suit until he gains the hand of Jeanette . But in love affairs , when fortune frowns , how fickle are resolves . The Fairy of the Vineyard , ( Miss T . Avery , ) coinustothe assistance of Antonio ( the accepted of the lady , ) and by the agency of a sprite ( Mr . llocucz ) subject to her power , defeats Old Phillippo ' s intention . The Sprite by his necromantic power , produces the most amusing incidents and situations , anil mystifies everything and everybody but the lovers of his choice , whom he determines to see wedded . Matters thus go on in a light and ;! grei-able manner until the wished-for union is at lcnsth accomplished , very much to the annoyance of Mr . Timkins , the cockney adventurer . A grand " Pas do Deux , " by Mr . W . Harvey and Miss L . Waite , formed a pleasing feature in the piece , ivhifih as a tripping production , went off smoothly , and was generally well received .

Last Davs of Robert Burns . —A valued friend and correspondent of the Star for Dumfries , is , we are sorry to heav , in a bad state of health . Uo lias been for some time past at Brow , by Annan , and writes as follows : — " This is the place to which Burns was sent in hi-i last illness . The cottage in which he lived is still standing , although not likely to do so long . The hawthorn under which he u-etl to sit is still alive but decaying , and the ¦ ncc neat tnrl seat beside it is sadly dilapidated . The parish schoolmaster showed mc the other day the ends of the ' box bed' in whieh the bard slept and suffered when at Brow ; tbey form at present the wails of his cow-shed— ' to what base uses may we come to at last ! " The school-master , however , purpiscs to restore these remnants—consecrated by genius—to their original olliee . "

MANSION HOUSE . A Friend . —On Saturday John Kobert Robinson was charged with bavins robbed Saimi-d Cootes , late of the Royal Artillery , of "iOs . and n shirt and pair of stockings . —The complainant stated that he had purchased hU Hitcharge from the Artillery , after 98 days' service . He had had quit- enough of the military lite , which was not at all to lii « --tn « te , and the prisoner , who came from Woolwich at tho same time , accouiptuiiu . l him , and thoy both took a lodg ing at the Lamb public-house iu Limestreet , where tbey occupied a bud . Upon risinjj the witness missed 20 s „ his discharge from tbe rrgiment aud a shirt and pair of stockings , which he had in a bundle , ami he stopped tlie prisoner , who was sneaking down stairs at
half-past four o ' clock in the morning . The ahum bavins ; been j : iv > n , the landlord rose and took witnessaad the prisoner , who were squabbling on the stairs , into a privati room . —The landlord of the Lamb said the prisoner counted down the money in his presence , and was very desirous to £ t-t away . '' But , " s : iid thu witness . who wns a curiosity in his way , "that would not do , for I didn ' t like to have a pi-won robbed in my house , so 1 sent for an officer that poked him oft' to th « stationhouse- "—The Lord Mayor : Ob , you keep the Lamb , do you ? The landlord : My Lord , the Lamb keeps me , and it WOldd be ungrateful in me not to Keep up the character of the iiiimb for honesty tinil fair dealing , m > I mid , " I'd soon settle it , " when I found what tbe bustle was about . When the man was taken to the atatio i house we found that he had the shirt and stockings of the si 1-tiicr upon him , although he had been a soldier himself . — Thy Lord Mayor ; DM you find the complainant ' *
diRehat'iru upon bim t—The landlord : Orcainlj ; and we found his own discharge too from the same rigiment , but they were testimonials of a very ditTerent description . The complainant ' s discharge stated tint he had purchased it , and the prisoner ' s that he had lately enlis - . cd , but by accident it was found that his back was marked by the thongs of a eat . and he could , therefore , be kept M ) longer , but was paid up all dues , and seat away .

1 WY STBBET . On Saturday , a lad , named Curtis , employed as engiue-st -her by the proprietor of the National Baths , in Holborn , was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain , the property of Mr . Ifeticy , of Soho-* quare , and another lad , named Styles , and a girl named Eliza Gould , was charged as accessories . The prosecutor went to the baths in August last , and placing Iiis watch in his trousers'pocket , deposited thtm o ; i the seat of a dressing-box adjoining the engine-hou ^ e , It was supposed that the prop-rty had haett extracted by the prisoner through aa aperture in the wall of the enginehouse where he was at work . The Vase showed great ingratitude on the part of Curtis , who , havimr loT-st his father ( formerly an engineer at the baths ) , had been put ou the establishment from charitable , motives . They Were all committed for trial .
THAMES . On Monday , Mr . Peter M llish , the vestry-clerk anil cii rk to she trustees of the pari-h of St . l ' aul ' s ShadwrtJ , waited upon Mr . ttroderip to ask iiis ndvicu ivsnrcu ' tix a very great nuisance which existed in new CraVel-laae , adjoining the eastern basin or entrance o " the London , dock , where a man named L ' .-wis Cowan carried on th 9 twines * of a tnUow-im Iter and bone-bniler , to whom ltirsjc consignments of the circuses of oxen \ n aputiid * lat « hild been tmifle , to the annoyance and disgust of a crowded neighbourhood . Mr . MellisU s : iid be was deputed by the parish authorities to call the attention of the magistrate to the evil , and be was quite sure if it were continued , fevor and disease would i . e mg-ridtfrei , ' , Tbe health of the inhabitants had already suffered by the frr'ineiit arrivals of dead bensts iii a Ct-. c mposed stiite ,
» hich wore brought from Black wall , and boded down lor the fut—a process that ought not to be c-. rried on in such a densely-populated neighbourhood as ohadwtll It wa-i known that lnrie quantities of cattle died uuthvir way from Ireland , Scotland , anil the continent , arising principally from their being stowed so closely in the b--ltis of tip ; steamers which brought them over ; ami th-y wi-re sold to tlK- tallow-melters and bone-boilers . The stench arising from the decomposed remain * cf large smiimiU brought into Shudnell was quite overpowering . Nothing more horrible could possibly be conceived and the i . 'lh :, bitan > s bad made repeated complaints to tbe parish officers . The police c msUbles themselves bad informed him that they could scarcely remain on their beats in the locality whim the carcases were brought to Cowan ' s
¦ actwry , and during the process of mWtt » g ; and they were obliged to apply handkerchiefs steeped in vim gar to their noses . On Sunday morniny the carcases of six or seven oxen , were brought from IH-ckwall to Cowim'j factory . They were quite putrid , i-nd some of the car . cases had burst in tha vans wliich brought them to Shadwell . The effluvium was dreadful Nothing mora nauseous and horrible could becouc . ired , and the carcases were melted down , t ! e Commissioners of Cusoms having very properl y stationed an officer on duty on the premises to see that the b asts were cut up and boiled , and wed for no other purpose . The inhabitants . « ho were driven from thtir bomss by the stench , came in a body to the beadle , Deverell , una complained of tha nuisance ; The exh'bition of the dead animals iu the vans was most disgusting .
-Mr , Urodenp aovi-cdthe " parochial authoritiesM indict the parties , who carried on rhd nuisance , " at tus next sessions .

No one could piss along Whitechapel High-street without being disgusted , and such a nuisance ought not to be suffered iu such a crowded < iiitrct . The animal effluvia pro d uced miasmata . This country was' c rtainlj behind France in the mirch of practical improvement ; wllbeasts were slaughtered out of Paris , and cattle and sheep were not allowed to be driven through the stieets of that capital .

Joseph Adv again in Tropcle . — On Tuesday , Mr . llrodeiip the presiding nnig islratrr , who committed . Joseph Ady , of " SomeUun < tu . advtiutagi > " notoriety , for trial , on two charges of fraud a few weeks ago , called upon Inspector ScoVt , of the II division , and handed him a letter he had received li-om Ally , enclosing another , aad requested bim to adopt tbe necessary measures to prevent a breach of the peace , aud not allow any one to molest the person who had nritc ti-rohitn . Inspector Scott promised to comply with the magistrate ' s request , and gave immediate direction on tho s-ul-j- ct to the policeman who has charge of the bent in which Ady ' s dwelling is situate . The lett . r threatening Ady with p . rsi . nai ch'istUetnetit and another with the ateb-tuipostorhiut-:. elf , are curiosities intlnir way , and their publication
may prevent many persons from being imposed upon by Ady ' s promise of advantage . The letter from Af . 'y addressed to the magistrate cf the Thames Police OtHee , near Arbour-squaro . was as follows : — "Gentlemen , the enclosed threati-ning- k-t : cr is just recn ' red hy the po » c . I beg the favour of your directing snma of your subordinates to protect me from the writers violence . I know not his name . Respectfully , Joseph Ady , 5 , York-street ,, Commercial-road , Sept . 11 , 1 S 4 G . " The leiter which has put Joseph Ady iu so iuu : h alarm is no doubt from seme one to whom he bad promised something to his advantage on payment of a Post Olncj order for 20 s ., and who feels ind ignant at t -se trick attempted to be practised upon him . The fo ' . lowing is a copy of thu letter , and from ih fact of tl . e writer having underscored many ot tbe prominent passages , there is uo doubt of his btinij
sincere in bis threats . "The writer of this has just received a letter from Mr . A- ! y , iu which he states he will , on r-ceipt of " - 'O * . give bim soma valuable information . He will be at Mr . Ady ' s office on the 23 rd , at twelve , without fail , and will then and th , re administer to him with a good horsewhip something thathe will not t-afily forget . This is no idle threat , Mr . Ady has this tim-. > pitched on the wrong man ; one who knows him well , a : id who knows him to be a swindling scoundrel , and it' the rest of the world were to adopt the sunie plan as he means to do , would soon rid society ofa pest that has too lung existed . Such n barefaced attempt at swindling should not go unpunished . The law may fail , but a strong arm will no :. Joseph Ady , when next you endeavour to extort money under fuhe pretences , for wliich many a better man has been transported , take care that you « o not write to one who knows you longer than you are aware , and who has oi . ly long wished for the opp-ftuniiy of doing the public s . gewvv . il a service .
