THE PRIESTS OF IRELAND .

I ask the bishops , will curses fill people ' s bellhs with food ?

I want no fighting , eir , bat 1 want food for the puoplo . I w ? . nt clothing—» a home and ius « . lce { or my oouatrymen ! Will they , whilst denounc
ing the rifle and the pike of the oppressed , denounce the gun and the sabre of the oppressors f Will they , whilst inculcating the doctrlno of passive obedience , denounce also the doctrine of injustice , and , like true ministers of religion , endeavour to erect the balance batwixt the proud aristocrat and the trodden . down peasants ? Will they , sir , 08 the indirect agents of the government in auppreslng insurrection , become the direct agents to proourejustice in return for tho spiritual obedience which binds the haad of the hungry man and tames the wtlf which preys upon his vital * ?

THE LAND PROPOSITIONS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOSIHEBN 8 TAB . Sib ( Permit me to offjr a few remarks to Mr O'Con . nor and tho dtrectore of the National Land Company , I think , sir , all honest minds when they have faults to find , or remark !) tomako upon thu conduct of man or men , ehoold do so 1 b tho proper quarter and through the proper channel , without making their complaints through the medium of a corrupt press , who pretend to sjmpatniae , but reBlly glory in the miseries and deprivations of tbe working man , I was glad to find , by the Stab of last Saturday , that the directors had considered the several propositions as propounded by Mr O'Connor , and havo approved of moat of them ; what thf y have cot approved of we cannot tell , except one proposition , namely— ' that of raising the sharoB to doulle the amount . ' Most , if not all the members in this locality , wore strongly opposed to this , as it would be calculated ta deprive the greatest part of them ol tbe motile * already pal ( l in , because they could never get tho means to meet future demands , and consequently must lose all .
It is under tbis impresiion that the directors did not adopt the proposition , ' that it was Intended for the bene fit of the poorest of the poor , ' There are other propoBl . tionB which the directors will do well to consider , as they mny have a tendencj to cxoluie the vcrj class of porsonB , which is Intended to be benefited : I mean thopurchasing of priority , and the throwtag the company open to new members . Should the company be thrown open , thGre will be ro chance of ever a poor member being lo . catcd , except he can furnish from twenty to one hundred pounds to purchase his priority , wbioh can never be dene by the working classes ; consequently It will be oreating a sort of middle-class amongst us , ( as who would be able to find this priority money ?) and then reap the whole of the advantages of the labour ani toil of tho working man . Lst the right of priority be sold to the highest bidder , sad the proceeds be added to the capital ef tbe company , which will go to assist the location of the poorer members eoaner or later , and both will derive a
benefit . The man who baa a little money to command would be tho first to derive benefits from tno payments of the poorer members , and the others , ia turn , will derive a benefit from the priority purchase by locating them the sooner , Thia would be effected if the company is confined to the preeent member * , if thrown opsn , it could never be effected . I am aware that something should be done to get more useful members . The best thing , In my opinion , is , that eaoh locality should be empowered to ascertain who are , and who arc not really members , and those who are only nominal members be considered as drones in tho hives , and expelled accordingly , and fill up tluir numter with others who would be glad of the opportunity . At all events some means should be adopted to afcertain our real strength . Let those who have discontinued , or wbo have not the possibility of paying up , sell tutir interest to others , who would be contented , and wr . rk in the coed caUBe with us .
The other propositions are generally approved of . Let the new Company be curried on with all the vigour possible , bat let the old be closed from additional mombera . Wo are glad to find that Mr O'Connor has avoided ovmlng in contact with his and the people ' s worst enemies , and hope he will continue to work put the nation ' s redemption b y tbe only safe means—tbe glorious Land Plan , Onward , in this moral course , and we conquer ; backward , with brutal force , and we Jail .

THE LAND PLAN , TO TOE MEMBER 3 OP THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . In peruolog the letter of our laborious and disinterested loader , Foargus O'Connor , which appeared in the Stab of tbe 12 . b instant , T Mt convinced , that , although the propositions therein laid down would put the operations of the Compasy in a mere healtbji condition , they would ba very Injurious to the poorest members , and that it would amount te an exclusion' of them from the Company , unless there could be provision made for exceptions .
I would first remark on the proposition for rls'ng the price of ebaroB to nearly double that of the present rae , Tbe sis : a < f the generality of families is such as to want a three or four aero share for their maintenance . Man $ Of the poorest of thu shareholders , who have had the greatist difficulty in scraping together £ & Is . for a four ncre share , will not be able to raise £ 10 ; consequently , this proposition will completely , exclude suoh from tbe benefits of the Company . If there could be two scales of prices , and two kinds of benefit to be derived , greater satl faction would be given than by having each number
of shares at one uniform price : what I mean is this suppose that those members who are able and willing to pay tbe £ 10 Instead of the £ 6 4 s ,, as an inducement for such payment , have their allotments at the reduced rent of four instead of five per cent , on the original outlay ; and for thoBe wne would rather pay as it now stand * _ that Is , £ 5 4 s ., have their allotments at the rent of five per cent , on ihe original outlay , and for aaoh five per oent . rent to continue uatll they shall have paid the othor five pounds ; and should they sail or redeem their allotrnmts , before suoh £ 5 are paid , for them to be dealt with accordingly .
The second remark I would make , is in reference to ihe preprlety of substitution location by bonus instead of by ballot . This hae grca . cr objections than the raising of the prico of the shares . Tbe average bourn would most likely be twenty pounds , unless the allottee could pay the bonus after taking pOB 3 eB 8 iOB | in that 0 ( 186 his rent would be five por cont ., instead of four , until thu price of Buch tonus was paid , but not for the rent of one per cent ,, to bo considered na part payment of such bonus . If tho bonus was considered as part of the re . dimptlon Koney , It would give moro satisfaction to some ef the member ? ,

THE STRIKE ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY . It was 8 tated" | ro several of ihe Sunday papers , that at a lato hour on Saturday evening a reconciliation waa established between the directors and enginedrivers of tbe Nortb > Western Railway . On Saturday evening Mr Madigan , the contractor and engiaeer , waited on tbe engine-drivers' committee , and informed them that they were to return to their several engagement * as early as possible upon their old terms , and that they were Bot to be again subjected to the vexatious , arbitrary tyranny to which they had been subjected . It was further understood
that any grievances of which the men might Lava to complain should , in future , bo submitted to Mr Glyn , the chairman of the baard , and not to any of the superintendents . After the disputes were thus regarded as settled , twenty-two of the engine-drivers were sent for to arrange their work for Monday morning , when they fouad that they were expected to act with new firemen , the drivers who have worked on the line daring the past week being kept in the subordinate capacity . Each dissentient driver was thus to work on . an engine with one of the new men in lieu ef his old aesistant .
On receiving this information the entire body of engine-drivers refused to go to work unless accompanied by their old firemen , and intimation to that effdot wa 9 forwarded to Mr Walker , the locomotive superintendent at Camden-station , and that gentleman started on a pilot engine to make it known to Captain Huish at VVillesden . On Monday evening a meeting of the engine drivers and firemen tOE > k place at tbe Railway Tavern , [ Ismpstead-road , when the above facts were stated by the Chairman , who added that a distinct understanding was given by Mr Madigan that the whole of the men should return to their duties , If there was not a desire to play some trick , he would ask why ware the firemen not to go back as well a . s the drivers ? ( dear . ) Mr Finch begged It to bs observed that those who had had charge of engines were now only considered competent to act as firemen .
A deputation was subsequently appointed to wait upon Mr Madigan to represent to him the belief of the men that both Mr . Glyn and himself had been seriously oompromisd by the course which had been pursued cowards the men . Tbe deputation did not return till half-past twelve o ' clock , but nothing satis , factory resulted , the whole tenour being the recommendation by Mr Madigan that the drivers should return to their work with the new men , and that in his opinion their determination to refuse amounted to » diotation . Mr Madigan had promised to Bee Mr Glyn tho first thing in the morning , and strenuously urged them to go to work . The Chairman , in order to prevent a charge of dictation , urged upon the drivers to go to work tomorrow , and if they did not have their firemen with them on Tuesday , then to leave at once . Mr Finch said if they ones commenced work , tbey could not leave again without a fortnight ' s notice . ( Hear , hear . )
After a leng discussion a resolution was proposed : — That the arrangements propesed to them this evening by Mr Walker for the working of the line on Monday being a total violation of tbe understanding communicated by Mr Madigan on behalf of the board of dinetors on Saturday , that it be therefore determined by this mooting that they will not rsjume work upon tbe London and North-Western Railway unless the firemen who have seoeded be included in the settlencnt of the dispute . This resolution was put and carried unanimously ,
and tbe proceedings terminated at half . past one o ' clock in the morning . OnTuesday evening , at eight o ' clook , a crowded meeting of the engine drivera and firemen who have fur the last fortnight er three weeks seceded from their employment on the London and North-Western Railway , v » aa held at the Railway-tavern , Hampstead-road , for the purpose of reporting the result of the negotiations whloh have taken place Bince Saturday between them and Mr Glyn , the chairman of the company , and to announce the gratifying fact of the settlement of the dispute .
Mr Jonas Browne having been called to the chair , proceeded to address the meeting as follows : —Fellow workmen , we have now the pleasure of knowing that tbere do longer exists any disagreement between ourselves and the authorities of the great company in whose service a very large number of ua have spent , and that very happily , the best part of our lives . Everything ha * been amioably settled : Many of our fellow-workmen returned to their duties jestorday , and the rest of us are to 4 o ao to morrow . ( Hear , hear . ) This result has been brought about by our having left our case in tho hands of the chairman of our company . Resolutions of thanks to different individuals were adopted , and the meeting separated .

Death of a Guard on the Richmond RAitWAT . —An accident took place on Sunday night on the line of the Richmon d Railwayi by which one of the guards in the employ of the company lost his life . On the arrival of the train to which the deceased was attached at Nine Elms he was missing , and mesaggers who were sent back along the line found him lying by the side of it , having sustained most severe injuries . He was taken to St Thomas ' s Hospital , but died in the course of the fallowing morning . The cause of the accident has not yet been aecertained . Drbadfujj Hurmcane . —ABERDKEN . ~ On Friday week about one thousand boats , each manned by fire fishermen , left the various ports of the coast of Scotland , betwixt Stonehavea and Fraaerburgh , for the herring fishery . When at the offing , at about an average distance of ten miles , and the nets down , the wind , which had continued during the day at south and south west , suddenly chopped out to the
south-east with ram . About twelve o ' clook it blew a gale , the rain falling in torrents , and the ni g ht was ao datk that n no of tha land lights could be Been . As soon as the gale came some of the fishermen began to haul their nets , but the sea ran so high that most of the fleet had to run for the shore to gave life . At Fraserburgh , the boats being to leeward of Kianaitd ' s Head , which forou the entranoe to the Murray t nth , were less expoJButhan tneboats to theaouthward . and managed to get a landing without loss of life ; but at Peterhead , whioh is the easternmost point of the coaat , and altogether exposed to an easterly gale , seventy of the 400 boats that were fiahmg there are missing , and there is too much reason to fear that moat if not all of them are lckei _? r _ A : , . t daybreak this morning the that
: scene presented itself along the ehore between the Bucohanness lighthouse and the entrance to the south harbour , was of the most appalling description . The whole coast for a mile and a half was strewed with wrecks and the dead bodies of fishermen l wenty-three corpsos were carried into Peterhead before nine o clook , and at tbe time the lateBt accounts left ethers were being constantly thrown ashore among the wreok on the sands or the rocks Borty boats were wrecked within the oirouit of balfa-mile , and so sudJen and awful was the catastrophe that no means of succouring or saving the distressed fishermen could be devised . How many boats may have foundered at sea or gone to pieces among the precipitous cliffs of Buoban no one at present can toll . One thing appears certain , that the loweBt eg timateot the loss ot life and property hv thia nale
exceeds that produced by any hurricane hitherto reoorded xn the annals of the east coast of Scotland . It 13 oalo « Med that along tho ooast not fewer than one hundred lives are loat , and when it is considered that fer tho most part the deceased fishermen have eft wwei and families , it will be felt that the widowhood and orphanage of our seaport towns h , ave reoeived in one Bhort night an unparalleled augment * 1 ICQ 1

Chaxgo to purple and te gold , And a rapture all untold Lights the path for Love and me ! When I eee its radiance play O'sr iby gentle lip nnu brow-Ob , hop ? braatiful 1 a Day . ' And how beautiful art Thoo ! How beautiful Is Noos , When I meet thee In the shade Of the leafy woods of June Like a spirit of the glade J When the winds breathe soft and low . To the brooklet's stilly flow , And all nature seems to know Tfaou art listening , doarestmaid ! When I hear the murmured tune
Of thy sweet voice , sweet as now—Oh , how beautiful is Noon ' And how beautifal nrtTHon ! How beautiful ig Eve , When Its goldea smiles depast Slow away , as loath to laavo Ought « o lovely as thou art ! When the dews begin to weep , And the first pale star to peep , Like an sngel seat to keep Vigils o ' er thee when we part ! When tha twilight seems te grlere As It dies upon thy brow— ' Oh , how beautiful is Eve 1 And how beautiful art Tnoo ! How beautifal is Night ,
O ' er the dreaming earth and sea , When the meon , In virgin-white , Wanders modestly , like thee ! When her beams , In silrer fl'ghtj , Deepen more , with teeder iight , All tbe magio and tbe might Of thy beauty , lore , to me ! When her starry eyes are bright , Like thine own , my dearest , now—Oh , how beautiful is Night I And how beautiful art Thoo !
RUSSIAN JOSWCE . Prince Troubetpkoi is a convict in Siberia , for tha share he took in the insurrection of I 82 i ; and ail family influence can obtain for him no relief , no mitigation of his sufferings ; he is deprived of hii name , and distinguished only by a number . Ha asks for perm ission to hare his children educated , and to place them where they may Lave the benefit of medical treatment . But ho ; the sins of the father are to be viaited upon the children ; for the imperial mandatehaa deolared that the childron of % galley Blaverfquire no education . And the Troubettkois ace still courtiers , and constant in their homage and devotion to their imperial master .
RUSSIAN niSCIPLINB . At & review at War-3 * w the late Grand Duke Coustantina wished to prove to some traveller of distiiictiOB tho extraordinary state of discipline of the Russian troops . He dismounted , and approaching one of his own generals , pierced his foot with his Bword , cosily and premeditated ]? , without offering a remark or alleging the slightest reason for the aot . The general remained motionles ? , without uttering a eomplaint , and was carried off the ground when tha Grand Duke withdrew from it .
RUSSIAN RELIGION . I have known instances of people vowing to tha little pictured eaint hangjBgin their chamber , an additional . ' amp or decoration , if such and such thing * ocourred , as one would offer a bribe to a child ; but the result having proved untoward , they bars punished their refraowry guardian by turning his face to the wall , like putting the child in a corner .

An account of his late Mijesty ' a death was insetted In % Philadel phia paper , aai happened to bs aotlced by one of the politicians present , when tho landlord asked me how we elected our king to Bngland . I replied that he was not elected b"t that he became king by birthright , As . A Kentuobian oN ¦ raved placing his leg on the bacfe of the next obalr . That a a kind of unnatural . ' Au Indian said 'I don ' t believe in that syHtem myaelf .

THE I AND COMPANY . TO THE EDITOH OF THE NOBTHEEN BT 4 E . glB After reading Mr O'Connor ' s propOBitlons , I consulted several po 3 r members of this branch , nnrt found them regretting their utier Inability to doubK tbetr money , they having strained all the means in their power to raise tbe £ 5 , and unless the / are allowed to fall buck on two acres it will be impossible for thorn to re .
main in the Company . They are anslous to return ibeir four-acre certificates and receive twoncro instead , wbiob they would gladly do , rather than be excluded from the benefits of the Company , Some of ( he three aero shore holders also find a difficulty la doubling their moBey , but will use their best endeavours to make up the difference , and secure a two-acre allotment . By these mesns , though tho money Kill not ti jw ia so fast , neither will it be wasted oat bo fast , as half tbe land will do so far as they arc concerned .
Leaving the justice of these remarks to be considered by my fellow shareholders , I remain , your most obedient servant . Joseph Taylob , Torquay , Auguat 15 ) h , 1848 .
