F O JR El I' JVL
The accounts from England-brought' by
tfic late arrivals, are truly exciting, espe
cially so far as Ireland is-concerned. The
agitation, on the subject of repeal, is more
ccneral and formidable than it has ever
before been. The immense gatherings.
in every portion of Ireland the vast sums
daily pouring into the coders of the Re
peal Association the universal adhesion
of (he Catholic Clergy to the cause, as re
cently proclaimed the open defiance of
'the authority of (he British Parliament by
Mr. O'Connel the pouring in of soldiers
to ave the rcpeqlcrs and the declara
tions of Wellington and Peel, that the ag
itation must be met with open resistance
were well calculated to produce .great
excitement in the public mind.
It is obvious enough that the declara
tion of the British Government, to which
we have alluded, 'has been received in
Ireland with but one feeling. Alluding
to the movements in Ireland, the Duke
of Wellington in the. upper, and Sir Rob
ert Peel in the lower house, declared
their intentions of putting down the re
peaPagilalion by force, if necessary.
The moment this reached Ireland, tens
of thousands were congregated at Mr.
O'ConnePs back, and troops are daily
pouring in. The sensation which the
government declaration of hostilities has
produced cannot be described. The most
effectual organizations were every where
taking place, and the great strides of the
repeal agitation were wholly unprecedent
ed. The language of defiance is every
day becoming bolder ; and at no former
period has the repeal agitation looked so
formidable as it now docs.
The Corn Law agitation is - extending
in England. In the House of Commons,
a debate of four nights had taken place in
regard to the speedy repeal of the Corn
Laws. During this discussion, Sir Rob
erl Peel made the most emphatic decla
tion that he contemplated no change in
these laws. This declaration has evident
ly created great excitement out of doors.
The opposition is rapidly increasing ;
and the friends of the abolition of the
Corn Laws now declare that nothing can
save them, unless a speedy revival .of
trade shall have the effect to divert the
public mind from the subject.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
Below we give copious extracts from
our exchanges in relation to the recent
treatment of the British towards the in
habitants of the Sandwich Islands. We
copy from BicknelPs Reporter :
THE BRITISH AND THE SAND
WICH ISLANDS.
About two since we announced that
the British under Capl. Paulet. had taken
possession of the Sandwich Islands. The
news only reached New Orleans on the
52d, by way of Vera Cruz; but many ad
ditional particulars ere given. Our New
Orleans contemporaries are quite indig
nant at the movement, and denounce it
in no measured terms. The entire cor
respondence between the British and the
Island, authorities is given. The first let
ter from Captain Paulet is dated Februa
ry 1 1 th. In this he describes himself as
having appeared at the Port to afford pro
tection to British subjects, and to commu
nicate with the king in person in relation
to certain insults. The king declined hav
ing a personal interview, but acknowl
edged a willingness to receive any writ
ten communications, at the same time
Staling that Dr. Judd had been appointed
confidential Agent of the Government.
Captain P. under date of Februaryi
Tth, said he would hold no communica
tion with Dr. Judd, as he had .been the
prime mover of the proceedings againsL
Britis-h subjects8. He demanded compli
ance with his request for a personal in
terview before 4 o'clock the next day,
and threatened an attack. Certain de
mands were then made in form namely,
ihe removal of the attachment upon Mr.
Charlton's properly, reparation for loss,
the acknowledgment of the right of Mr.
Simpson to act as British Consul, a guar
antee that no British subject should in
future be subjected to imprisonment in
etter!?, unless,accused of a crime which
bv the laws of England would be consid
ed a felony. Also, one or two other
points of minor importance. This de
mand was accompanied with a threat to
iittack the town, at 4 P. M. tHe next day,
if not complied-with.
fi'jic correspondence between the pro
.per officers of the Islands, and Paulet, the
Briti-li captain, which here follows, we
omit, for want pf room.)
Tfie New Orleans Bulletin slates thai
Lows- Paulet raised the British flag on the
64i!i of February last, in honor of the an
nexation of the kingdom to die British
empire, aw! on the same day notified the
Consul of the United States that he could
uo longer exercise his official functions
without being acknowledge! by the Brit
ish Government. The iing made a
lengthy and formal protest against this
procedure, which has been transmitted
to Washington by a special express who
arrived in the Architect.. Express cour
iers had also arrived atjVera Cruz for
England, to pr6ceedvia Havana and the
United States.
The,Bulletin.also states that the French
Consul having experienced an indignity
at the hands of the fBritish Commander,
had sent an express to' Admiral Dupier,
commanding at the Marquesas group, sta
ting the capture of the Sandwich Islands
by the British, and the indignity which
had been offered through him to the
French Government. The presence of
the Admiral, backed by one or two French
Frigates, was very shortly expectea.
The following comments from the Bul
letin, are not without interest :
The Sandwich Islands in many respects,
are the most important and interesting
group in all Polynesia. They contain
about 200,000 inhabitants, rapidly per
fecting in the peaceable arts of civiliza
tion, and having schools, churches and
missionary establishments in every part,
planted and supplied almost entirely from
the United States. They are .suuaiea
immediately upon the great maratime
highway which divides the three princi
pal divisions of the earth ; they abound in
good harbors, and are the constant resort
of the fishermen of this and other coun
tries, and of commerce generally in those
distant seas, for supplies, for safety and
for rest.
ThesexIslands were -recently recogni
zed by the United States (aud by France,
also, if we remember correctly,) as an in
dependent nation. An agent sent by the
Government of the Islands to this coun
try last fall, was received with attention,
and, in consequence of his visit, an appro
priation was made by Congress for a com
mercial agency in return. A commission
er was appointed before the adjournment,
and, we believe, embarked some time
since. If Qur Consul, as is reported, was
not recognised by Lord Paulet, because
he was not accredited to my Lord Pau
leys mistress, our special agent, sent out
the King of the Sandwich Islands, can
hardly expect a better reception.
The iMarquesas group, seized by France
were not supposed to be of any peculiar
value, though they afforded very conven
ient resting places in the long voyages in
those seas. But it seems from avowals
recently made in the French Chamber
of Deputies, that that group was .selected
from its proximity to the isthmus through
which it is proposed to unite the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific. When! the
canal is made,the Marquesas will occu
py perhaps the most important positionin
the Pacific, and be second in no respect
to any group save the Sandwich.
If the Government of the United States
can sit by quietly and see the ma ratime
and commercial nations of Europedivide
among them these resting spots, planted
by Heaven in the midst of that wi de sea
for the benefit of the trade and navigation
of the whole vorldf we do not know
what outrage or wrong it will hot submit
to. All these Islands, loo, that have been
seized the Marquesas, Tahiti,-and the
Sandwich belong to the coast) of this
continent, and therefore, upon the princi
ple of Mr. Monroe, in 1823, and recogni
sed at the lime, as the true doctrine of this
country, ought to be sacred, at our'peril,
from European agressions.
A letter from Oahu,dated March 6th says
"The interests of the United Stales
will suffer chiefly from the occupation by
the English of these Islands. Two hun
dred vessels under the American flag, ar
rive here annually. There i. now upon
Ihe Islands a large amount of American
property. In case the canal uniting the
two oceans is. completed, the future im
portance of the islands will be immense.
The Americans have civilized and plant
ed the commercial interest of the group.
It remains to be-seen whether the United
Stales Government will acquiesce in a
usurpation-so destructive 10 the fruits of
American industry."
Erie Canal. We learn from the Erie'
Observer, that the amount ($50,000) re
quired to secure the charter to the Erie
Canal Company has been subscribed.
The observer bays that " the Commission
ers have certified the fact to the Gover
nor, and' in two or three weeks the com
pany will be officered and icady to trans
act business. There is no doubt that mo
ney can be burrowed by pledging the
work for its payment. This renders- it
certain that the canal will be finished. It
is supposed that it will be ready by the
first of September, 1 844''
Sheriff Hart, says the N. Y. Tribune,
has somehow arranged his affairs. - He is
out of jail and exercising the functions of
his office. Tin business of '""the office has
somehow been put in charge of one of his
sureties, a capable, upright aud every way
responsible man, aud that it is now in a
train of adjustment, it is said' the defiil
cations of the - Sh:riff will prove much
lees than has betu reported, aud that ulti
mately all will be paid.
Death of Noah Webster. -Noah
Webster, L. 'L. D. arid popularly known
as the great American lexicographer, died
in New Haven, on. Sunday evening, the
28th of May, at 8 o'clock. Dr. Webster
has been a long lime before the public as
a prominent individual in 'the various de
partments of social hie. He jswas early
distinguished as a political writer of great
ability, and he afterwards engaged in the
business of public instruction. His pub
lications, as valuable assistants 'in the
work of education, were widely known
and favorably received. In 1807, he en
tered upon the arduous task of compiling
a new and complete Dictionary of the
English language, which, after various
difficulties and discouragements, he suc
ceeded in completing for publication in
1828.
TO FARMERS.
We find the following useful suggestions
in a late English paper :
" It is well known that in a close stable,-where
there are a good many horses,
there is a very pungent smell, affecting
the eyes, and nose more particularly when
Ihe stable is being cleaned out. This
smdll is occasioned. by Ihe flying off of
lamonia, which is the :very essence and
value of manure, and which volatilizes or
flies off at a very low temperature even
the warmth of the manure in a stable will
send it off, and it it goes offin great quan
tities by the common heat of the manure
in a farm yard, whether thrown in heaps
or not. There, is, however, a very cheap
and simple remedy for this. Before you
begin to clear out your stable, dissolve
some common salt in water, if a 4 horse
stable, say 4 lbs. of salt, dissolved in two
buckets of water and poured through the
nose of a watering pan over the stable
floor an hour or so before you Fbegin to
move-the manure, and the volatile salts
of amonia will become fixed salts from
their having united with the muriatic acid
of the common salt, and the soda thus lib
erated from Ihe salt will quickly absorb
carbonic acid, forming carbonate of soda.
As this is the most powerful solvent of all
vegetable fibre, and seeing that all ma
nures have to be rendered soluble before
they can act upon vegetation, it will be at
once apparent that the carbonate of soda
so introduced must be a most powerful
and valuable agent.
A NEW WONDER.
Our age is full of wonders and improve
ments as the world is of people. Every
department of the economy of life the
subtler sciences as well as the moral prac
tical systems has some great Invention
to boast of, surpassing all that even the
dreamer had imagined. The last wonder
is that of the man zoho don't sleep J His
name is Gourlay, and he lives in Boston ;
and he details his 'experience' in one of
the Medical Journals, something after this
fashion : He was forty years old before
he began to think of tloing without sleep.
The first trial he made was on a voyage
over the Atlantic, and, in Ibis voyage
which lasted only forty two days, he did
not sleep a wink! This was the mere
commencement so he look a good nap,
and made a second trial. This time he
did not sleep for three years! He took
laudanum to induce sleep, drank whiskey,
&c, but without effect. He has now
been five years and six months without
sleep ! His health, which 'had not been
good, on account ofhn attack of the eyri
sipelas, is now improving, and as soon as'
he can take exercise, he thinks he must
recover.
Mr. G ou rl ay's plan has one great dis
advantage; and that'is in not being able
to get sleep at all ; and, to say the least of
sleep, he shouldn't wholly disregard it.
For instance, an afternoon nap of a few
months in the hot season, would at least
be a proper tribute to'auld lang syne,'
We should fear the fate of the man who
had the cork leg, which moved with
springs, and (says the tradition.) ran off
with him entirely we sliould fear too
much loalking. But, after all, Mr. Gour
lay 's plan nas several decided merits. To
a watchman it would be immense: He
could walk about, in all weather, with his
eyes as wide open as an owl's J spying out
all sorts of mischief. To gentlemen who
go to balls, and parlies, and pay lale at
tentions of that sort, it would be of pow
erful importance. To Students, and oth
er weak people, who sit up o'uight;:, and
sometimes gel their hair singed By a' too
close devotion lo the midnight oil, we ear
nestly commend Mr. Gourlay 's plan. The"
only ones lo whom it would be superla
tively plcasanl.would be the sleepers at
Chu relies, and Lectures, who frequently
wake up to fiud"a hundred eyes fixed up
on them, and arc remarkably gratified on
recovering their sense of hearing lo find5
the speaker alluding Jo their unfortunate
foible. Qn the whole we think Mr. Gour
lay's plan is- one that 'deserves to be ex
amined wide awake.
