Selected from Eaatrrn Pnperi. Great Britain and Ireland. Prepress of civilization!! Isaac Gaskill, of Bolton, stood penance in a white sheet and without shoes and stocking?, in the parish church of that village, on Sunday, the 2d of July, during the whole morning service, agreeably to an order from the ecclesiastical court, for having married the sister of his former wife, soon after her decease. The

Cf remonv, which attracted a great crowd

of witnesses, was to be repeated the two following Sundays. The London Times says uWc arc not surprised, but extremely grieved to hear by the last accounts, of the tumultuous proceedings in Manchester and other manufacturing towns. "Hung, r," says the homely proverb, "will break through stone wall;" and all accounts agree that the unhappy people are driven to these asiemblies by absolute want by starvation! by starvation, not only in their own persons, but in the persons of their wives and o?Jfpring." Such is the state of things, generally, in all the manufacturing districts. There were rumours of disturbances aooiigthe labore rs at Blackburn that the magistrates read the riot act, but were tol . by the people, that "they valued neither them nor the military they wanted work as the means of procuring food, or a supply of food without work, and that one tray or Mher they nould have it!" An article, dated Kilkenny, July 8, says On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, several bakers were stopped in different parts of this city, and loaves of bread taken from their baskets, by groups of miserable brings three or four of whom have been sent to the work-house; we saw one miserable woman, who had obtained a loaf, part of which she- devouied with the voracity of absolute -want. She dc la re d, while the hitter tears nearly choked her utteranre, that neither she nor her children had tasted any thing for three days before, but hay and water! The bakers will of course, be protected by the civil power. Even hunger wilt not justify depredations on their property. But if something be cot done to alleviate the distress of the unemployed poor, lamentable, indeed.

must be the consequences. Fifteen thousand persons, many of them armed, had colli rted in the neighborhood of Manchester. They demolished an extensive manufactory of power-looms at Chorl iv, and committed other excesses. Several deaths are reported as having been caused by the want of food. In Ireland, the wages of weavers had been redu

ced to ten pence per day, of twelve hours labor, which will only purchase a stone 4 lb. of potatoes. How is a working man, with a family, to live upon this? The clergy of the established churrh. for they can afford it," are loudly called upon to furnish relief. A contagious fever prevailed i: Dublin, and was carrying off many of the poor. France. There are in France fifteen thousand deaf and dumb persons, 500 of whom only receive anv instruction.

It is estimated that live millions pounds of sugar are annually made in France,;! from the bf.et. The manufacturt is prosperaus and rapidly extending. The high price of fuel is apparently the chief thing j that prevents it from being competent tj , the supply of France say CO.000.000 lbs. j Spain. A notice was po&ied at the cor ;, nersofall the streets of Madrid, informing;, tint the king had issued an ordinance ; commanding all persons having books or!'

manuscripts on masonry, or other nerrct societies, in their possession, to deliver them up within a week, en pain of being considr fed guilty of high-treason. Several vessels, which arrived at St. So-

of. The cogimandcr3ofr.ll the European ship3 had rr.ade a common cause against then. The tlocp Erie, Cap!. Deacon, is very active for tha protection of our trade. 'the following trait of heroism in a Greek female is given in a letter from the Levant: "A young woman of Miss I mghi and her brother quitted that place, and, lighting their way through the ranks of the Turks, succeeded in reaching the mountains. Upon arriving there, the young man, overwhelmed by the effort and weight of his arms, sunk down and could go no further. At that moment a Turkish horseman came up with his sabre in his hand. The young woman seiz-d her brother's pistol, shot the Turk, took his horse, and, after assisting her brother to mount it, conveyed hirn to Salona. From thence she went to Napoli di Romania to sell the horse, in order to buy food and medicine for her brother.' Colombia. We learn here from Laguyry that business was completely at a stand and nothing but the necessaries of life would sell. Gen. VnrZ was at Valencia with 8 or 10.000 men, and the streets of Caracas and L iguyra were daily patrnlcd to add to his army. Gen. Bermudcz was at Cumana, with an equal urrny, to oppose the movements of Gen. Paez. A British frigate was lay ing inLaguyra to protect the British merchants in case of need. The arrival of B-divar was. anxiously e sported. But he was yet at Lima on the 1st May; and, it was stated, would be invested with supreme power far two years.

thousands vere collected together, all were as still, as quiescent, and attec live, as if there wu3 hut cne man present. Mr. O'ConnelPs address at the mooting produced the most electric effect on his auditors. It seemed to infuse a portion of his own spirit and fire into the bosom of all who heard him. He said that the destiny of Ireland was connected with their struggle. The Catholic of the county could decide the fate of this lovely island. Let

j lervid ras of the sun, and shouts and loud j

! cheers resounded far and wide through the country. As they apptoached Kil macthomas, the stronghold of the bitterest

j enemies of Ireland, the li resfords, and j within a mile of Curraghmore, their 'princely palace, the entire road was filled ! by the inhabitants, young and old, male innd female, bearing green boughs in their hand?, and banner, on which verc inscri- . bed the words "Stuart and Catholic eman

cipation, forever!'' Aftei breakfast, the people of Kilmac-

J thoinas were addressed by Mr. O'Connell. The learned gentleman explained to them j the nature of the bribery oath; he told j them the double perjury they would com- ! mit first, when they were swearing to ! having free hold, and next, in supporting lord George Beresford, after such an oath.

! He advised the people not to give, by any

breach of the peace, any excuse to the Beresfords to hi mg the military or police against them. The only thing he advised them to do was, to laugh at the Beresfords if thev should ask them for their votes,and r.s to the children, they might cry out um id dog? at them. Mr. O'Connell left Kilmacthomas on his

route, and was again stopped at the chapel of Sarahville, where he addressed the people in a similar strain, and with similar effect. About twelve ! entered Dungarvan, the houses of which were decorated with green leaves and filled with people anxious to sec a man of whom they heard so frequently, as well as 'to behold the young carrdidatc, who, it was expected, would attend the meeting which was to be held at the new chapel. At two oVIock, Richard Power O'Shea,

the

ij chair, a committee was appomica io pre

pare resolutions, which were adopted unanimously . The meeting was addressed by counsellor Ronayne, the rev. Mr. Sheehan, Mr. Thomas Vyie, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Villiers Stuart; after which Dominic k Couayne, esq. was called to the chair and the meeting adjourned. Before they dep uted, the inhabitants were addressed by the rev. Mr. Sheehan and Mr. O'Connell, who advised them to disperse in peace, as attempts would be made to incite them to commit disturbances. Mr. O'Connell then bid them give "three cheers for old Ireland," and uthree groans for the Beresfords." Mr. O'ConnclPs directions were observed to the letter. In the evening, a grand dinner was given to Mr. O'Connell by the friends of c ivil and religion liberty in Dungarven. Ninety gentlemen sat down to dinner, Thomas Wyse, esq. in the chair. The evening passed over with the greatest hilaritv. Not the slightest disposition to riot or dis lurbance was manifeMed. and not a diun-
