Huleatt. chaplain to the forces at Aldcrshott, nar rated the following anecdote, which ho had re ceived, ho said, from one of the actors in the scene: “The incumbent of Osborne had occasion to visit an aged parishioner.

It was without any law—that is tesay, under a false pretence of a trial—that I was carried away from my country in chains, os any of you may be at any time and for any pretended offence whatsoever. English law is not for us; and theforeign Government which holds Ireland is not under but above law. lam of opinion that Ireland is, and ought to be, a distinct nation and not a degraded province; that the men of Ireland are disarmed, and thereby reduced to the condition of beasts, expressly in order that a foreign nation may continue in peace and security to devour her substance and extirpate her people.

Investigation by the Fire Marshal and Coroner- Tha l.'micp of the DUiiklpi* Yesterday afternoon an investigation into the causa mi<l circumstances of tho recont explosion, at Jackson’s ctutriil.se manufactory) in the First vrardi w« wmmeDced at the office of the coroner, In Fourth street, below Chest nut street. Th# investigation was mainly conducts iby Charles Bullock, chemist, who is one of the jurors, and the coroner anil Firo Marshal Blackburn. Mr. Jackson, proprietor of the Fhclury, gtlVo Ids teStilrioriy, And was much affected during the course of the proceedings. His two daughters are still in a critical condition, and for tho recovery ot one of them but little hopes are enter tained. This unfortunate man has been engaged in the manufacture of pyrotechnics for twenty-seven years, and has, during that time, met with many reverses, and Inst considerable money. This was the first time he had ever been engaged in tho manufacture of cartridges, and, through the horrible disaster* ha has lost every penny he had in the world. He is completely broken down, and is olmost demented by the occurrence. He informed us. notwithstanding tho unhappy event, that, during yesterday, several girls culled upon him and ask ed Tor employment, status that they under stood he contemplated again commencing the busi ness sit Wilmington. He has no such intention at pre sent, his whole time being devoted to the melancholy con 1 dttion of his family affairs. The investigation was not concluded yesterday, but from the evidence elicited, it is pretty clear that Iho explosion was caused by one of the employees in the moulding room. It is supposed that the powder in one of the moulds ignited from friction caused by tho plunger coining in contact with Uie mould— the plunger receiving a blow before fairly placed in its position, thus causing the forco of the latter to strike the of the mould instead of the powder. The following is the evidence elicited: Mr. Jackson affirmed.—Tlis regular business was the manufacture or fireworks, but be was not at the present time making tliea?, but was engaged in the manufacture of itortiiotow’* wM cartridge, or rattor, supmntcudiDg tho nmuafacturo of them for Messrs.

The Home Guard to be made VOLUNTEJSB MILITIA.—.An important bill wag read in tlie Legislature on Thursday, by Mr. Nichols, en titled lt A supplement to an act entitled an act to create tbe Home Guard of the city of Philadelphia,” Section 1. That tbe Home Guard of the city of Phila delphia shall be known as tbe 44 Pennsylvania Guard,” and that the commander of the Home Guard, who was elected in September last, Bhall rank as a major general in the volunteer militia, and shall be so commissioned from October, 1801, for the term of five years, if the Pennsylvania Guard shall lasi so long. Any fnturp elec tion for such major general shall be conducted in ac cotdance with militia laws. The Pennsyl vania Guard shall be divided into two brigades Elec tions fer brigadier generals shall also be conducted in ac cordance with the militia laws, tho brigadiers to be con firmed by the City Councils, and commissioned by the Governor. As this bill makes Gen. J’lcisantou a major general, it is an important affair. Professional Pickpocket .

A curious vessel arrived at our wharf yesterday.

This Remedy is a safe and simple preparation from the receipt of the late distinguished Professor Mutter, with whom it was a favorite proscription. That he used it in hia extensive practice, insures to the timid a certain proof of its pure and innoxious olements, and to those who know his character for skill and careful attention, to preacribe only such remedial agent? as should secure restoration without producing subsequent evil, it will be welcomed as a real good. Under the guidance of a Phy sician (to whom its combination will unhesitatingly be made known), it will always be found very beneficial, trod in sms where ft medifft! adviser u not at hand, it may be used with safety, according to the directions, in all cases of short or long duration.

The repug nance, nausea, Ac., to invalids, induced by disgust of the Oil, is entirely obviated by the use of oar OAFSUL29.
