AT the Irish National Conference held in Dub- lin on the 20th instant, at which the attendance, though not highly distinguished, was very nume- rous, Mr. O'Conrv r went so far as to swear so- lemnly that, for -if, he would rather sacrifice his very li e, than become an apple of discord. He assured Lord Clarendon that the spies whom he purposely sent to that meeting would not induce him by one indiscreet word to injure the cause of the Irish people. With all this, he was still the open and unflinching advocate of the principles of English Chartism, and the union of the two peo- ples of England and Ireland. Whatever Irish meetings may, for the most part, be said to effect, it must, undoubtedly, be allowed that they do not fail in resolving to a very respect- able extent. At the gathering above-mentioned it was resolved to form a National Alliance, which National Alliance should correct the abuse of the land system, resist the endowment of any church, and favour a full representative reform. .Amid the interminable talking and speechifying which has obstructed so greatly the real progress of that country, and shrouded her affairs in mists and obscurity, there are also to be noticed some better signs of national prosperity. It is true that again and again the chronicler of Irish events has had to point out cheering tokens of amended feel- ing and reformed practice, and he has also had again and again to announce the melancholy intel- z, ligence, ths*t all these hopeful signs have turned out failures. Still, without caring to prophesy what the result shall really be, he must deal with the simple facts, as they are, leaving it with others to speculate and theorise on the probable conse- quences. If the trial, conviction, and punishment of the Irish rebels was followed by a cessation of outrage and a comparative calm in the once stormy localities:of the island, that was a fact, be the final issue whatever it might. If the visit of the Queen to the shores of Erin was hailed with delight, and every expression of enthusiastic loyalty, that also was a fact, how baseless soever might be the doc- trines which were grounded upon that circum- stance. Well, it also is a fact that Lord Clarendon's practical instructors in agriculture, wliom he com- missioned last spring to go through the south and western counties, have done something. It is, by the bye, a much better fact than either of the others, for it draws after it consequences far less liable to stultify previous calculations. The wholesome and timely terror infused into the public mind, by a due vindication of the claims of law, may speedilj subside when the ceremonies of the law are past and however gratifying it may be to witness the hearty reception which England's Sovereign met with in the sister island, the yells or the acclama- tions of the populace are of nearly equal authority in auguring the events of the future. But it is somewhat otherwise with facts that have to do with improved agriculture and amended economics. Flourishing fields and uniformly good crops sup- p'y the arjrumenittm ad ventrem Ireland's curse is her having had so much work for the tongue and so little for the teeth. The multitudes of her peo- ple who annually migrate to our own shores for assisting at harvest, prove that they are capable of doing a good day's work for a good day's wages and if the Irish soil be once brought under such a system of cultivation as its powers fairly demand, the great amelioration of Irish affairs as a whole follows as an inevitable consequence. The Report of Mr. Queen, one of the Practical Instructors, on his proceedings in the Union of Fermoy, presents "gratifying proofs that there is still some energy in Ireland not wasted in merely chimerical under- takings." He went in person through the lands of the husbandmen, pointed out their errors, and practically assisted them in carrying lessons of im- provement into effect. Among the farmers them- selves be got a number of subordinate inspectors appointed, who, after profiting by instruction, be- came, in their turn, the teachers of others, report- ing also all matters of useful information to and from. their special districts Mr. Quin being thus thrown into direct communication, every week, with all the tenants on such estates as sub-instruc- tors have been placed over. The results of this machinery are perceived in the adoption of im- proved implements, seeds, &c.; improved courses of cultivation, and improved produce, and, conse- quently, in a marked improvement in the position of the population, both employers and employed. The following extract will be read with great in- erest. as showing the tangible results which follow when some measure of indisputable practical utility is set on foot and fairly tried i— On one important question-the quession whether spade tillage or plough tillage is the more profitable when large ureas of cultivation are compared-he has obtained striking 1. I 1 have at length proved, to the satisfaction of those gen- tlemen who have complied with my suggestions, that the soil can be prepared for green crops, in a superior manner, and to any depth, cheaper by the spade than by the plough. In commencing spade labour, the employer was in dread of its costs and the labourer, judging from former experi- ments with the native spade (the fack as it is called), felt great reluctance in beginning with the improved spade, which I have introduced into this country from the North of Ireland, and was certain that the wages I offered (168. 8d. per acre) would not enable him to earn sixpence a day: in this, however, he was happily disappointed. In a field belonging to S. Bowles, Esq., of Ahern, I commenced by giving 1JI. per statute perch for digging properly, and throwing up all stones (of which there was a considerable quantity) to the depth of twelve inches: the labourers on this farm were able to earn from Is. Id. to Is. 3d. per day anp before the evening of the first day, on being asked how they liked the improved spade, they replied, as they have done in every instance, that they could do twice the quantity of work with it that they could with.their old one." This sentence Mr. Quin follows up with arithmetical deductions-from a large class of authentic facts-- I find from reports which I have caused to be made by sub-instructors, on the acreage, of the number of horses kept in working condition, the pumber of acres of green and com crops, and quantity ploughed on each 'arm on the .diiterent efttatett over which they are placed, that in district of 16,636 acres there are 61$hcrses'kept; of these 16,636 acres, there are 6,7971 under crops for which the ground has been plongbed, and abomt PJ»V/.U,h OI}., £ of the la»er«Utnber has Oeen ploughed twice or prepared for green crops, The keep of each of these horses (one with another) tinnot. cost less than jgT') .per annum; which would amount to £ 12,36!) which brings the expense of each acre culti- vated, or I should say, not half cultivated, oy horse labonr. labour, up to nearly X2. Now, ii one-half, of these 618 horses were disposed of, a sum of X6,180 could be expended in keeping labourers employed which would pay 410 men IOd: per day, throughout the year. These men could, in twelve months, dig, at the rate of 16s. 8d. per statute acre, 6,900 acres for that sum. and earn the above wages: This amount would be something over that quantity, five-sixths of which have been merely ploughed once, and on which twice the amount has been expended on the support of horses. It may be reasonably calculated, that each of these 460 labourers would support three more of a family; which would be the moans of keeping 1,840 paupers out of the workhouse whieh number I hnd, on a reference to those taken into the workhouse during the last twelve months, from the different electorial divisions in which these estates are situate, would be more than one thousand over the num- ber of people unemployed in that whole district."

It has been..announced- or, at least, something tantamount to such an announcement has been put forth—that the present year concludes the career of the Annuals. About twenty years ago, those splendid and costly productions, bedizened with crimson, --old, and green, first made their ap- pearance. Their presence on the table, when the chill and drear November told tha* winter was in <^ood earnest come again, was hailed with a delight and cordiality to which the disappointment of meet- ing them no more will bear, as we imagine, a very small proportion. Their popularity was owing, in ;rcat measure, to their novelty. The first that ap- ] peared soon called forth a rival, and so annual j mcceeded annual, till the Wreaths, nuu A l' and Offerings, and Kcrnsn(T°. fairly glutted the market. Mortality soon began to .manifest its;:if. Some of them scarcely saw a second winter; other- lingered out a few years of feverish existence, and then departed; and the present sole survivor of the family, the Keepsake, seems about to retire be- hind the scenes with its late Editor, the Countess of Blessington. Comparatively short as the course of the Annuals has been, they have the consolation of knowing that if their fortunes had been no more than equal to their merits, that course would have been still shorter. The public, at first, could hardly divest themselves of the impression that books so beau- tifully printed, so finely illustrated, so handsomely bound, must contain a corresponding excellence of 0 literary material. But this opinion was sadly at fault. The standard writers of the day were not isposedfto connect themselves, excepting on some rare occasions, with the new generation of serials, Mrs. Hemans, Miss Jewsbury, Bernard Barton' and a host of middle-size geniuses, came forth to tbA ? ert^k'nS' and the result was that although hnn/lnUaiSaffer,e Pretty enough things for the onlv nf dra\ving-roocn, their contents were swerino- to resPect5l^e class, noway an- indeed^wprc C1f i1' I>retenf*ons- Some ef them, and noem<s "?^e the P&positories of tales, essa vs, -randee™ St h f anddistinguish'ed were nnL in! ^ir^tWard. decorations of the minsir with and grandeur were dated rh^pv» wkiehs.their lucubrations -the caTket wt «S radical^efect within Ca3ket hner thari^^j^vel • the shell more precious fhan the"- I ■■ another painful evrd nce thala ^Kr"V" urn,sl1^ have brr.nrl la» „ j nobleman might j j and scanty,Wins; and that the style and splendour in wftfch.-iopda and marquises were accustomed to move were n« ^V ^V l resoec'o shbulVwrite respectable prose Or decent poetrv Our age however is^ anXmvetUivc one. One project treads upon the IreeVftf an<?tbei. the great lottery of human speculations there are so manv blanks to one prizf, it is only what ha been before and will be again. What further schemes for dazzling the eyesiof the literary world may be ready to make their appearance when the last Tof the annuals shall slSep with his fathers is far beyond our power to predict; but the public will certainly never pe suffered to lack a plentiful supply of that material which challenges their respect and patronage; not so much for its intrinsic worth, as for the trouble it has cost the printer and bookbinder.

MURDER NEAR ROSEMARKE T. Yesterday (Thursday) Remarket, in this coun- ty, was the scene of a most <t,wful murder, a crime, happily, of rare occurrsafca in Wales. The perpe- trator is a small farme^Wsiqiftg at Wesffields, of the name of William organig.- (commonly known as Doctor Morgan) and-the Victim a female domes- tic in his employ. The coroner's inquest has not yet been held; but the following, received from creditable authority, may .lie relied on:—A lad in the employ of Morgans'S-Was engaged in removing ashes froih beneath the grate, wbich not being done to please him (Morgans), he seized the shovel to strike the boy. The girl,, however, interfered, and he made his escape. He then swore he would kill the girl. She consequently endeavoured to r, ti make her escape by running, but in ascending a hedge he struck her. with the sharp end of the shovel, which split her head open. The shovel broke by the blow; btit,seizing the remaining part, he beat her head to pieces with it. He then attempted to leave, but the Screeches of the girl having brought persons to the spot, he was secured hands and feet, and conveyed to this tpwn in a cart, when he was brought before John Lloyd Morgan, Esq., and remanded to Saturday, to wait the resul' of the inquest. Morgans was considered ia person of weak intel- lect, and had some years ago been confined in a lunatic asylum; but from the period of his release he has conducted the affairs of his farm, and at tended the markets to dispose of its produce. The decesaed had resided with the prisoner for a great number of years. The particulars of the inquest and the proceed- ings before the magistrates will appear in our next publication.

SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, The Bishop of St. David's has. Undertaken to deliver the first or anniversary lecture in connection with the above institution, for the ensuing season. We have before, with- pleasure, noticed the support and encouragement which the le-irned and enlightened prelate, who prssides over the- diocese of St. David's, has given to institutions, having for their object the dissemination of knowledge among the work- ing classes. It has been observed that this is the first time- that a prelate of the Church has ever delivered a lecture to w similar audience, and with a similar object. We are not swtw that this is literally correct-whether a lecture on a somewhat similar occasion was not delivered by Dr. Stanley, the late Bishop-of Norwich. But this is a question of no importance -it is not one whit the less honourable to Dr. Thirlwall^ that he, tho gifted student and deeply-read scholar and; historian, comes forward on this occasion to bear aid in this- goodly work of diffusing knowledge- We cordidlally concur' with the excellent remarks in conneceion with this subject, made by our contemporary the Welshman No denbt can he entertained that the proposed lectsirs of his lordship will give immense impetus to the progress of the society, and the- consequent establishment of kindred ones, will be immediately, given, and we shall therefore have much pleasure on a future occasion in announcing the day when the proposed literary treat, which the unrivalled historian of Greece is aboot to offer, will be presented to the public."—-Awjiwea Ileruld. -i, FATAL ACCTDFNTS.- Last week, a servant in the em- ploy of Mr. Walkers.

CARDIGAN^ BARRACKS ON FIRE.—On Sunday last, about tour o clock m the morning, great alarm was occasioned ia bjaint Mary street, owing to the flue of the Guard Room at the Barracks, which communicated with the Officers' apart- ments, catching fire; which, with the timely assistance of the military, under the direction of the Barrack Master, Mr; J. Hiscoek, the fire was, fortunately, got under. It originated from the Guard Room flue, which was made at the alteration ™ l 1'18 8,,PP<>sed that some bond timber was Jett in th$flue through neglect. There is not a Fire Engine nor a Portab!e Magazine in these barracks, which are situated' in the town, surrounded by houses.

THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S UPON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Mr. Christmas is represented tft. have said that the Bishop of St. David's eoj-dially conV curred with the advocates of abolition." I wpsh it to be kuown that the rev. gentleman had no uujhprity fcom me. for such'a statement, as I am sure hp wpufd see, if be' were to look again at the last communication which lie received from me on the subject. I Wtainly concur«< £ with lum. in the "ipinion that the Leg-isljUure is not bound' by the interpretation whieh h.as been,put.on the passage! ?v.iC cited from tbe Book of Genesis, as if it en-> jome the infliction uf cagital punishment in cases of murder; bin that it is perfectly at liberty to deal with the murder; but that it is perfectly at liberty to deal with the question according to iip own views of what is expedient and right; but I did not express to him, nor am I aware that I ever expressed). an unqualified opinion in favour of- the abolition of capttal, punishment. My opinion on that;, point woutd, depphd on tlie nature of the punishment which, in eases, of atrocious guilt, is to he substituted for- that of death. I have, indeed, my private opinion on that. point also;, and. it Lajelines me to believe that capital puuislvnents might be safely and beneficially abolished ;• but I am apt at all, sure, whether I could ooncar with thp advoeates of abolition" who delivered their sentknents, aij tha. meeting, as they seem all to have avoided making, the slightest reference to what appears to me an essential- element of the question.

"Jesus shall be taken out of Jerusalem through the gate of Iruenea." This sentence is engraved on a plate of brass, in the Hebrew language, and on its side are the following words:—"A similar plate has been sent to each tribe." It was discovered in the year 1280, in the city Aqurla, in the kingdom of Naples, by a search made for the discovery of the Roman an iquities, ;ind remai ied theer until it.was found by the comini-saries of the arts, in the French army to Italy. Up to the time of the campaign in Southern ltaly. it was pre- served in the sacristy of the Carthusians, near Naples, where it was kept in a box of ebony. Since then, this retic is kept in the Chapel of Caserta. The Carthusians obtained by their petitions that the plate-might be kept by them, which was an acknowledgment of the sacrifices which they made for the French army. The French translation was made literally by members of the commission of arts. Denon had a fiu: simile of the plate engraved, which was bought -by Lord Howard, on the sale of his cabinet, for 2,890 francs. There seems to be no historical doubt «$to the authenticity of this. The reasons of tba sentence.cortespond exactly with those of the Gospel.- Transtiteel fmix the Koinische | Zeilung" ■■■. —. .■
