It was generally believed, that warrants were to be
immediately issued against the Right Rev. Dr. Hig

Thu aggressive move on the mut of the Government
produced a Sunday meeting at Halsthn Green which
was attended by, Mr. Alderman Grace, Mr. John o'-
Crinnell, Dr. Gray, and other loci' agitators. Mr.
John O'Connell (his father being in the country) made
a speech, in the course of which he said his father had
sent him that day to task, were they frightened or a
alarmed? s Long and continued cries of "No,. tr.,
Meter!" waving of hats, &c.) He would take their
answer back to his father, and would tell them they had
no cause to be frightened. There hail been sum • talk

• REPEAL ASSOCIATION—October 9.
Mr. O'Connell described his future plans.
"My course is Manifest. That proclamation has
clam nothing to alter ray course of conduct, eecept so
fuses say attendance at the meeting yesterday was
concerned: It certainly did prevent me attending
that; bather() all its influence was at an end. I did
intend before Parliament sat to have had a simulta
neous meeting - of every parish throughout Ireland, cos
the same day to petition them; and those petitions were
to be signed regularly by ail the resident Repeaters,
commencing with the clergymen; I cannot now name a
day forthis great simultaneous assembling of the Irish
nation; fort wish the excitement and indignation raised
by this foolish and mad proclamation in the breasts of
thopeopleto be assuaged before we venture to do so.
I give noticeof my plan; and on n curtain clay, yet to
be appointed, every parish in Ireland shall meet to
seekthe restoration of their native Legislature. Be
fore the next sitting of Parliament, it will be necessa
ry to hold two of these simultaneous parochial meet
ings of universal Ireland.. The first, for the due expa
sition of their grievances, and the drawing up of peti
tions ter the Imperial Parliament; the second to have
these.petition* ad mted and signed man by man. These
meetings will take place after mass; and the necessa
ry business wilt he transacted in the little yards or en
closures attached to every chapel. I want to know
howthey will present our meetin to potirion sitnulta
neously throughont Ireland, altho ugh they may pr vent
our meeting in mates/dee.
Marengo , els,ia, was one of msreasons for giving up
monster meetinge: but I have still something to work
oat. . I . shall airs carry into opemtiou the plan of our
Arbitrate:la Cowes universally. In (hist believe the
proclamation will give us ass sraall help: an so
ustale ' l I
over Ireland there will be gentlemen dispensi d
ng j
to all who seek it.
I have also another plan. It is to prevent Irish es
tates being overloaded with mortgages, the interest of
which to handed slew to persons in England. The ob
ject is to buy tip the debts due on Irish estates, and the
plan is the most promising.
Afterwards, again exhorting the people to obey his
ruivicoond break no law, he said:
I will take the necessary steps for carrying out my
i - plan for the formation of the house of Commons, which
I trust I shall be enabled to lay before Patliameut in
I the yeey.firtt.• week of the session.
Mn O'Gorman finished with a "Hurrah, then, for old
1 • Ireland and the Repeal!" The call was answered by
"tremendous cheering, which continued," says the
I Freeman's Journal. "without intermission for nearly a
quarter of an hoer. In the midst of it, Mr. O'Connell

PETTSBURGI I, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1843
Fonntox Maws.—We give copious extracts
he news brought by the 11.4 ittania. The news from
Ireland is of the must interesting kind, and irdicates
that matters in that misgoverned country are approach
ing a crisis which will speedily determine whether they
will have to gain their freedom by the only means left
them, while the government turns a deaf ear to their
petitions and remonstrances. The struggle is now
coming in earnest; it cannot be hoped that the British
government will quietly ;ield to the demands of Ireland
and it is almost equally improbable that the Repeal
ers will now abandon the cause without a sanguinary
struggle to fling off the chains of bondage under which
they have groaned so long. Many who have been
close observers of the repeal movements, are fully im
pressed with the belief, that O'Connell and the prom
inent leaders, have long been convinced that by no
means but farce can the .Irish people ever obtain a re
dress of grievances, and that during the progress ache
agitation, they have been steadily preparing for this
issue. if it come to this—and we see no means by
which it can be avoided short of an abandonment of the
cause—the apapathies of the world will be with the
Irish people,and the fervent prayer of every lover of
justice and freedom will be for their triumph ever their
tyrannical oppressors. Ai d will not 'oe wanting to
sustalatheir righteous cause ; the friends of liberty are
libentl, aid ins t.;11 a struggle as the Irish people must
eaconater to obtain their rights, every hand and heart
will open to sustain and encourage them.
Ctsctss Art.—Two fires occurred in Cincinnati on
on Saturday, the 4th, the :irst at the corner of West
ern Row and 7th streets, which destroyed some three
Of four frame buildings, the other was on the Canal,
between Main and Sycamore. The Lard Oil Factory
of Vandoren & Co. was entirely destroyed, so were
Mr. Fis'ler & Inglehrrta two park houses—one other
building injured.
A public meeting had been held for the purpose of
inviting Hon. J. Q. Adams to address a mass meeting
of the citizens on the subject of "Education, and the
general welfare of the Union."
A great Horticultural Fair has been held, which
caused conAdentble excitement, as it was the first of
the kind ever held in that city.

Great preparations are making for the Temperance
Convention to be held at Cat thage, on the third Satur
day of this month.
The corner stone of an Astronomical Observatory was
laid yesterday, and an address delivered by J. Q. Ad-
Am .
There was plenty of water in Cie river for all class
es of boats.
Flour was selling at $3 60, and inspection; whiskey,
17i cents.
NF.XT GUT TANOR.—The Armstrong Democrat has
run up the name of FR &NC ts R. SHUNIC. for Governor
and sets forth his qualifications fur that office in a
well written article.
The same paper has the following remarks in rela
tion to the selection of the Speaker of the next Con
gress. There appears to he but one opinion is
rela
tion to this m ttter among the democratic papers throl
out the mate, and that is fur the election of the Hon.
Wm. W 'tam to the Speakership. The Democrat
sap:
"It is with extreme pleasure we observe the name
of the lion. William Wilkins, mentioned in connection
with the office of Speaker of the lower house of Con. I
gress. No man in the Union would discharge the la
borious duties of that office with more firmness nnd
nhit
ity, and render more general satisfaction than the abova
named gentleman. With the most urbane and gentle
manly deportment, the most commanding talent. and
the firmest resolution, he could not fail to be eminently
t popular as a Speaker. We would be glad to hens of
his romotion."
SOMEWHAT CARKLE3S.—The New York Plebeian
publishes the democratic candidate for Coroner as Dr.
Edmund G. Rawson, and noticing him in another part
of the paper, it calls him Dr. Edward S. Rawson. It
is not difficult to conceive a case that would very much
mortify the "Plebeian" folks. If Edmund G. Rawson
should lack a few votes of an election, and Edward
S. Rawson should receive about the deficiency requi
red to elect, and which would be lost to Edmund G.,
the editor of the wJaid 1031 rather unplettiant
SMALL POTATOES. --The manager of the Chesnut
street Theatre erased the name of the theatrical corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Mercury from the free
list, because he would not consent to puff some of the
blockheads that Mr. Marshall is attempting to push
forward as actors of groat merit. This is a most
pitiful nnxin of revenge; almost as bad as discontinuing
a newspaper because some of the opinions of the editor,
or those of his friends, do not suit the personal views
of the subscriber,
LOW FEN Elt STATISTICS.—The New Orleans
Picayune states that in 1833, there Were 1086 yellow
.[ever vases admitted to the Chet' Hospital, `34 dis
charged, and 452 deaths. In 1810, - no admissions, 1
discharged, and 1 death. In 1341, there wore /1/3
admitted, 520 discharged, and 690 deaths. In 184 1 2,
there were 410 admitted, 214 discharged, and 211

HORRIBLE MURPER AND SUICIDE!
We learn by a letter from Little Rock, Arkansas,
that a saddler living near that place, brutally murdered
his wife on the 20th ult., in the following manner.—Hthe fire e
was boiling a pot of rosin and grease over .
and some high words taking place beteen him and
his wife, in sphrenzy of rage, he turned w

house jest in time to see her brente her last. Her head
and face were entirely coated and cered with the pitch,
which had run into her bosom and down the back of
her neck. The husband escaped; but the alarm being
given, several persons started in pursuit, and bei

POLITICAL GAMBLING
We find the following, in the Richmond
A gentleman has requested me to bet five thousand
dollars that Mr. Clay will be elected next President,
if he lives. The amount betted to be imme "lately
invested in sit Per Cent. Stock of the State of Virgin
ia, so that it may carry interest from the time of bet
ting. JAMES H. LYNCH.
Wo do not approve of betting, and are sorry to see it
commenced; but we ate free to say that we think five
thousand dollars, bet on Mr. Clay's election, will be
more profitable than an investmens in any Stock in the
Union. [United States Gazette.
Well—we must say t h at this, is one method of dis
couraging the practice of political gambling awl of cx
ii people with more money than wit, not risk their
possessions upon a desperate hazard. "A bet upon
the success of Harry Clay," says the Gazette, "would
be the mast profitable of investments, but we do not ap
prove of betting." There's nothing so delightful as
sin, but do not sin—it's naughty. What an impressive
method of administering a. moral lesson. But we do not
refer particularly to this matter to find fault with our
cotemporary's mode of deterring his political friends
from the wickedness oft' eating elections as if they were
the hazard of a die, nor perhaps it is worth while to
say that in our opinion, his method of treating the sub
ject is likely to work rather adversely to his precept
than otherwise. We wish mainly to call the attention
of the democratic party to the fact alluded to in our pa
per of yesterday, that our opponents ate everywhere on
the alert to bring each possible element in play that
may contribute to their success in 1344. Now this
' five thousand dollar bet" in Virginia, may be regard
ed ns a striking evidence of the truth of our assertion.
It is part of the political game of "Brag," which is in
tended, appropriately encugh. to face up 'Harry of the
West and to bluff down opposition. Men, in these ca
ses, do not bet bettaus they feel confident of the success
of their candidate, but because they believe that by bet
ting, they may contribute to render him stronger than
he really is at the moment of making the offer. It is
an evidence of conscious weakness, and not an emana
tion from conscious strength. Still, however, though
it be a species of madness, there is no little of method
in it, and we should not be at all surprised if large cal
lations were made by our opponents in various sections
of the country, upon the efficacy of the betting imaeress
as a branch of their political operations for 1844.
They do not lack matey—their means are enormously
abundant—a large bettine" fond could easily be raised,
wherewith agents could be sent to disccuragn and to
"stump" the re orer democrat by challenging him to
hack his position by heavy stakes. Should he refuse,
the cry weekd of course be raised that he was afraid—
that he had no faith in his own assertions, and so forth,
for the sake of else effect that might be produeed on the
weaker brethren. We have seen this sort of thing in
all its bra Aches, not only in the county of Philadelphia,
bet throughout the state, and there have been elections
which seemed of convert the malls into a VASt. fatotable
Every m ovement, therefore, in this direction, come
from what source it will. should be promptly and sternly

in:llion as a political engine, to demand that every
man should esteent it as part of his duty to his coen

full of excitement--it will, even if condocted in the
wisest and most preheat manner, raise 'he pulse of the
com munity t o fever boat. Let us not then aggravate
its envied lable evils, by rousing the g iiistet's spirit
an I by inditeing at , a to forsake reason to have recourse
to the filers arc' nem of a s enseless bet, which says
nothing, prove!, nothing„ signifies nothing, but that he
who prop ow. it, oiler such cireumstrnees, is imper
fectly arrioninte.i with his duties as acitizea. In poli
tics, the invitation to make a wager on the result, should
be regarded as little better than is downright affront.
It may be all in chrracter at a horse nice or a cock
fight—it is perhaps a fitting accompaniment to the
"dicer's oath, ' and over the table of hazard it may be
appropriate enough, but let not this wretched thing be
suffered to taint the policy of a great nation and contri
bute to decide who shall be seated in its presidential
chair. If be begun, it will not only spread mischief
and wretchedness throughout the land. but so sink the
moral tone of our people, that years will not rescue them
from the degnointion.
We are satisfied, indeed, that our rotemporary of the
United States Gazette. notwithstanding the republica
tion of this Virginia "banter," as it is termed, will see
the forgo of what is now urged and will join with us in
an earnest discouragement of any and every effort to
induce the citizens to bet upon the Presidentirdelection.
Ho cannot but see how replete with mischief t.ny oth
er course must be in those who contrbiute largely to the
formation of public opinion, while all political experi
encs shows that when a floodgate like this is once ful
lv opeoed, the sluices arc we to be closed until the
deadly inundation is spread far and wide, bearing a
morel pistilene with it.
MOHAMMED ALI—DES FRUCTIVENESS
In Mr. Gliddoe's second Lecture on Hieroglyphi
cal Literature, delivered at Boston last week, the fol
lowing fact was introduced in connexion with the solo.
tion of various hieroglyphical problems. Tim splen
did avenue that leads from the temple of Luxor in
Thebes to that of Karrac is flanked for a mile on
each side by colossal sphinxes and decorations, and
had 'Severn' of those gigantic portals, called Propylca,
which form so grand a feature in Egyptian architec
tune Each Pylon is adorned with the sculptures of
the Pharaoh who erected it, of which a similar use is
made, as of the Tablet of Abydits. The date is about
13. C. 1660.
"The middle gateway," said Mr. Glidden, "beauti
ful in proportion, and faced with the purest granite,
was the most perfect of all, up to the year 1838, when
Mohammed Ali, caused this magnificent Pylon which
had defied the Persians and Ptolemy Sathyrus and had
stood erect for upwards of 3408 years, to be blown up
with gunpowder!" This atrocity was perpetrated in
order to build nn indigo factory that failed to answer
its purpose, and was closed in 1840, and also to con
street some saltpetre works that do not pay; because
the chemists, in their anxiety to obtain a job, forgot
that the neighborhood did not furnish a sufficient sup
ply of nitrous earth to suffice for 400 pits. Thi• is
only one of the abominations of the recreant crew who,
of late years have cursed the land of Egypt.—Boston
Transcript.
EXTRACT.
It is a curious coincidence, that among the Algon
quins of the Atlantic and the MissisF ippi, alike among
the Narragansests, and the Illinois, the North Star was
called the Bear. This aceidental agreement with the
widely spread usage of the old world, is far more oh
servuble than the imaginary resemblance between the
signs of the Mexicans for their days, and the signs on
the zodiac for the month in Thibet. The American
nation had no zodiac, and could not therefore, for the
names of its days, have borrowed from central Asia
the symbols that marked the path of the sun through the
year. Nor had the Mexicans either weeks of lunar
months; but after the manner of barbarous nations, they
divided the days in the year into eighteen scores, leav
ing the few remaining days to be set apart by them
selves. This divisioa may have sprung directly from
their system of enumeration; it need not have been im
peded. Is it a greater marvel that the indigenous in
habitants of Mexico had a nearly exact knowledge of
the length of the year, aril at the end of one hundred
and four years, made their intercalation more accu
rately than the Greeks, the Romans. or the Egyptians.
The length of their tropical year was almost identical
with tberesult obtained by the astronomers of the Ca
liph mo rn bat let no
h oned erive this coincidence
from intemourse. unless eis prepared to believe that
in the ninth century of our em, there was commerce
between Mexico and Bagdad.'

TODACCO.—The Glasgow, Mo., Pilot says that the
recent frosts have had a killing effect upon the crap of
tobacco. Although the prospect was gloomy for the
present crop, yet it was confidently believed that the
yield would be a full bnlf one. Now, however, it is as
certaina, from undoubted sources, that the injury it
has sustained by frost, will curtail it from 25 to 33 per
Cent.
The St. Charles Advertiser of last Saturday says:—
"In the counties of Lincoln and Pike, and in other
counties, a large portion of the tobacco crop has been
entirely deAloyed by frost: lqiusy large Gelds of One
tobacco were entirely ruined, so that not n single plant
