THE RATRCORNIAC AFFAIR. Archdeacon Ryder has published a defence of bis conduct in the affair of Hathcormac; and the wbig papers who had been tilled with the vilest s anders against him, have cautiously abstained from noticing his letter. This is indeed whig justice—but no matter. Archdeacon Ryder asserts, and no doubt can prove, that he wl-ts ve)it fur by the Widow Ryan, v nose name has been so often mentioned in this unhappy affair, the fact being that the woman wished to pay him what was justly due, and had it for him in her pocket; but dreading assassination if S'H paid it of her own free will, was obliged, for her protection, to pretend to yield to force. He asserts, and no doubt will prove, that the people of the parish offered no resistance, but that the military were opposed by a band of strangers, brought to the phtce froin a distance, atid organised, no doubt, for murder. He asserts, what he has no need of proving, that R I the story of his demanding the money from the ^•oman while her son lay dead on the ground, is a lie of the fitst magnitude, and therefore perfectly worthy of the mouth of O'Connell. He asserts, and no doubt will prove, that the luilitary acted with much forbearance and that if they had not promptly fired on the ruffians by whom they ,ere surrounded, their lives were in the utmost jeopardy. He assert*, and no doubt will prove, that he lived on good terms with his parishioners, until they were goaded on by other influence, we need hardly say what, to oppose his just dues, and thai i»ow his Protestant congregation is scared away Irom him. This is ill fact what the murderers be- hind the curtain desired, and which, if they are permitted to go on in their present career of tin- < heeked wickedness, they will effect in hundreds ol other parishes of Ireland. On the whole, Archdeacon Ryder's defence is complete; and the infamous lies of those who calumniated him, are exposed for ever. There iiiust be a strict inquiry made into the affairs of liathcormac, Inniscarra, and other places and the Parliamentary Committee to which they are re- ferred will, if they be zealous in the discharge of their duty, unkennel the real assassins-be they priests or lawyers, members of Parliament or his,hops. cntil tlie black brotherhood be brought belore the light of dav, Ireland will continue to be the tield of blood. We shall not forget the subject.—Aye.

n ^TTVES O*1 RAFFLE''S HAY.—MELVILLE IMLAND.— n luesday afternoon, August 11, we were gratified by a visit from three nathes-Jacama, alias Waterloo: Marambal, alias Alligator (so named on account of his immense mouth, and long white teeth); and Mi- 0rt,erS were given'to prevent tht discharge of hre-arms m the camp, as it was defined indiscreet to run any risk of breaking the fjood understanding that at present existed by anv ineavuious act; the natives not being able to discern tllC ctarerence between firing for fun, and firing with intent to destroy. They came to the i:ottage just as we bad finished dinner; and, knowing they were welcome, walked in, and made themselves at home, T,i,-y discovered great emotion at the sight of a turtle, which 1 had received from the master of the Admired Clifford. Waterloo requested, clamorously, to i):tve il hut he was kept within bounds by the other two. Mimaloo then showed us the method of kiiiing the turtle, and pointed out, with signs of ecj static delight, the parts of it that they chiefly prized, and, whatever difference may exist betwee them in otlwr ruspects, we found that in the knowledge of a turtle a savage is as skilful as an alderman. They were much amused by a musical snuff-box; Mimaloo in particuhr paid great attention to it; at first the stops" seemed to confound him; but he soon started up, and, with Marambal, danced a waltz, in a manner tUat astonished us. Captain Laws then sent for the ship's fiddler, who turned to, con amore, with a fa- vourite half-deck tune. After having heard it once, Dr. Davis, .YlarambaJ, and Mimaloo began the dance; the doctor was soon obliged to give in, but the two natives continued with undiminished spirit and in- tuitive skill to perform feats worthy of, and receiving, unbounded applause. All the natives kept exceedingly correct time; and if dancing consist in easy and gracefully-varied positions of the body, the civilized professors of that useful art might have profited by the skill of the sable Mimaloo. At length, from the fiddler's elbow becoming tired, the music ceased one dancer tlnew himself on the ground, and the other rested his head on my knees; I placed him on a chair, when, balancing it on the after-legs, his head against le wall, he threw his legs on the table, with all the nonchalance of an indian pi!ot. This free-and-easy wj<y created much mirth, particularly to the sailors, W ° were assembled round the cottage to witness the amusement. Marambal then requested to have some 1* er"j ? basin, which, being brought to him, he fnr'm6^! <•honey out of a meshy fibrous bundle, inetif^ M0"1 Hle 'nner bark of young trees (the only dinninn> m "a^'ves have of retaining honey), and then irr<»af r. Ul'dle into the water, he sucked it with Oeat..f]aV-f y a"d sce'i1'ng satisfaction. Having re- *»ho in r' Severa' times, he handed it to Mimaloo, bever>i?e"e t me luamu'r' Partook of the refreshing *hicli ivr rema'ned with us until after tea, coming pr^prjJJy partook of wit," be- Uncouth Ti "tcrloos matiiicr was more strano-e to icene must have appeared very borne a part ;n l?»jW '°, 'lac' formerly witnessed and individual* that th°rS S|° ^ot"'l"y different.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. (From the Evening Mad.) The mass of Irish communications published in Monday's paper, and continued to-day, consists of two parts-1st, Ireland generally; 2d, the "people of Ireland," or, in other words, the bully-beggarman, hight Daniel O'Connell. It is stated, we are told, at the levee on Wednes- day last, and our Correspondent adds that he believes "correctly," that the first measure of Ministers in the ensuing Session will be the Bill for the "Reform of the Irish Corporations." No doubt, any decently informed person in Ireland IS more likely to have the earliest intelligence of what is to be the policy of the present Administration, than any man in England can pretend to. Ireland is the source whence all Mel- bourne measures flow. It is to instructions from one spot in Ireland that our lofty-minded Whig placemen resort under all their ditifeul ties. It is from Derrv- uane that, in honied accents, the streams of dictatorial wisdow flow: there, and there only, is the seat of Government. What transpirod therefore at the Castle on Wednesday last might have been the leek- age of a despatch box, sent up from Kerry a few days before, which, as an cspee JaI favour, Lord Mulgrave possibly was permitted to open, containing a pro- lamine of the approaching Session, as prepared by the Autocrat himself. Tnere is the greater verisimilitude in the report that the first efflux from the cup of bitterness mixed up for the people of England by this v holesale dealer in quack nostrums, will be tne bill for annihilating every Irish corporation, because, 111 one and all of his recent diatribes, he has dwelt wnli feverish eagerness upon the necessity of that particular measure. On the other hand, there is no. surer index ot the per- nicious tendency of anv po itical innovation in Ireland than the anxiety with which it is urged and insists on by O'Connell. If, therelore, there be a bill pushed forward within the next fortnight or three weeks under the title of a« Iiisli Municipal Reform Bill, no man of the least sagacity can be otherwise than certain that it will becaretully .and skilfully adapted to work some fresh mischief to the cause of law and property in Ireland, by administering some fresh accession of power to the rebel interest of that disturbed and tormented country.

GXiIEANHmS- MASON WORK IX FORMER DAYS.—Among tin- many curiosities of Balbcek (the ancient He'.iopolis, or city of the Sun) is one, which a man had need be well assured of his credit, before lie ventures to re- late, lest lie should be thought to strain the privilege of a traveller too far. That which 1 mean, is a large piece of the o d wall, or Peribolos, which encompassed all these structures last described. A wall made of such monstrous great stones, that the natives here- abouts (as it is usual ill things of this strange nature) ascribe it to tiie architecture of the Devil. Three of the stones, which were larger than the rest, ii-c took tiie pains to measure, and found them to extend sixty- one yards in length; one twenty-one, the other two each twenty yards. In deepness they were four yards each, and in breadth of the same dimension. These three stones lay in one and the same row, end to end. The rest of the wall was made also of great stones, but none, I think, so great as these. That which added to the wonder was, that these stones were tirtt-d ul) into the wrill, more than twenty foot from the ground.—MaundrcWs Journey from AUppo to Jerusalem. COAL.—The enormous combustion of coals in the arts and manufactures, and iu steam navigation, has of late years excited the fears of some persons as to the possibility of the exhaustion of our mines. These apprehensions however may be allayed by the assu- rance received from the highest mining and geological authorities, that, estimating the present demand from our coal mines at 16,000,000 tons annually, the coal fields of Northumberland and Durham alone, are sufficient to supply it for 1,700 years, and after the expiration of that time the great coat basin of South Wales will be sufficient to supply the same demand for 2,000 years longer.—From the Steam Engine, by Dr. Lardner. MAMUFACTURE OF IRON.—THE HOT BLAST.—The introduction of the process of smelting iron by iieated air, has produced extraordinary changes in the manufacture of that important metal. The reduction of the quantity of fuel required is said to be no less than 30 ) per cent.; two tons of coal or a correspond- ing quantity of Coke now proved to be sufficient for the smelting of one ton of iron, which formerly required upon an average about eight. This would rank amongst the greatest strides of modern art- were no objections to exist 011 the corresponding deterioation for general purposes of the quality of the iron so produced. The hot blast has not yet been introduced into the iron districts of England, from the supposition that the metal is rendered by it brittle and devoid of that malleability which is one of the finest qualities of iron that the saving of fuel is not equal to the decreased value of the metal so pro- duced. We cannot offer an opinion on this important subject, but perceiving in the very able account of the origin, operation, and consequences of the hot blast, which has recently been published by a learned gentleman of no allusion whatsoever to the quality of the iron produced, we think it important towards (lie English iron-masters that an explanation of the subject should be afforded by our northern friends. The Frenchman is antipodous to the Englishman in very many customs—he walks with the thickest part of his stick downwards-the driver generally sits on the near side—he passes the coming carriage on the right. The gentlcm.an kneks a single knoek -and he (liffers from all nations of the wor d in adopting his wife's name — if Monsieur Jacot marries Mademoiselle Pocbe. You see Jucot Poche over bis shop-door. In all other nations the wife is distinguished by the husband's name—as Mary the wife of Cleopas Hectoris Andromache-Jtarcla Catonis, and Gwenny John Morgan. TL BEEF A NO MILK SICKVESS. "A few miles below Alton, on the Mississippi, I passed a deserted village, the whole population of which had been destroyed by the I iiiilk (m fatal spasmodic disease, peculiar, I believe, to the valley of the Mis- sissippi. It first attacks the cattle, awl then those I who eat beef or drink milk.)—The hamlet consisted of a couple of mills and a number of frame houses not one of which was now tenanted, but all sileiit and abandoned. Dry weeds over ran* the thresholds and whistled to the wind, the raceways of the mills were choked with driftwood, and their motionless wheels were cumbered with the green slime of two idle summers. Not a living object moved about the place; the thickly sown burial-ground told the fate of its inhabitants—the very crows seemed to make a circuit and avoid this deserted village."—Hoffman's Winter in the far West." EXAMPLES OF STEAM POWER.—Since a bushel of coal weighs 841bs. and can lift 56,027 tons one foot high, it follows that lib. of coal would raise 667 the same height; and that an ounce of coal would raise 42 tons one foot high, or it wou!d raise 181b. a mile high. Since a force of 181b. is capable of drawing two tons upon a railway, it follows that an ounce of coal possesses mechanical virtue sufficient to draw two tons a mile, or one ton two miles, upon a level rail- way. The circumference of the earth measures 25,000 miles if ic were begirt by an iron railway, a load of one ton would be drawn round it in six weeks by the amount of mechanical power which resides in the third part of a ton of coals. The great pyramid of Eg-ypt stands upon a base measuring 700 feet each way, and is 500 feet high; its weight being 12,760,000,0001b. To construct it, cost the labour of 100,000 men for 20 years. Its materials would be raised from the ground to their present position by the combustion of 479 tons of coals. The weight of metal in the Menai Bridge is 4,000,000!b. and its height above the level of the water is 120 feet: Its mass might be lifted from the level of the water to its present position by the com- bustion of four bushels of coals.—From the Steam Engine, by Dr. Lardner. A WHIG.—Whig was doubtless first used in Scot- land, and applied to the supposed sourness and ascetic temper of the religious Dissenters. To whig, in the northern counties of England, as well as in Scotland, means to turn a thing acid; thus, if you pour milk upon rum, and do it so slowly or so unskilfully as to coagu- late the mixture, you are said to tvhig it. Tait s Magazine. DERIVATION OF THE WORD MVSTERY. The heathens used some sort of meats bv way of purification or lustration, and chiefly such as were not used i-i cotij- mon food—such were several of those meats forbidden by the Jaw, and called abominable by Moses, Deut. xiv. 3—of this kind was the mouse, which ( was ex- pressly forbidden to be eaten Levit. xi. 29 Isaiah Ixvi. Jamblichus reckons mice among the several sorts of animals by which the Heathens practised magic or divination, and saith that some derived the Greek word musterion (mystery) from mus (the Greek and the Latin for inotise.)-,Lowth. TRANSFUSION. — A celebrated bibliopolist at the west-end of the town, as estimable for his kind and social qualities as tie is eminent in his profession, dining the other day with a customer, a gentleman, who never allows the bottle to be stationary, suddenly exclaimed to his host-" Why, you are emptying your wine-L-e.Ilar into your bgok-seller! Fuller, the divine, and the author of the History of the Worthies of England," had a very extraordi- nary memory, could repeat 500 unconnected words after hearing them only twice, or could mention all the tradesmen's signs in the leading thoroughfares of the city of London after passing through it. SAGACITY or Dors.-I am indebted to LordStowell for the following anecdote :—Mr Edward Cook, after having lived some time with his brother at Tugsten in Northumberland, went to America, and took with him a pointer dog, which he lost soon afterwards while siiootitisr iii the woods near Baltimore. Some time after, Mr and Mrs Cook, who continued to re- side at Tugsten, were alarmed at hearing a dog in the night. They admitted it into the house, and found that it was the same their brother had taken with him to America. The dog lived with them until his master returned home, when they mutually recognised each other. Mr Cook was never able to trace by what vessel the dog had left America, or in what port of England it .!lnd been landed. This anecdote con- firms others which I have already mentioned relative, to dogs finding their wav back to this country from considerable distanl:('s.-J esse's GlAinings.

GREAT MEETING AT FISHMONGERS HALL. At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the ladies interested in tne prosperity of Billingsgate, held at !■ ishiuongers' Hall, 011 Thursday, the 21st January, IS.'ifj, the following resolutions were carried unanimously 1. I hat the cordial thanks of the ladies of Billings- gate are due to Daniei O'Conneil, Esq. M. P. for the hitherto unparalleled pitch of eminence to which he has succeeded in raising their ancient, copious, and forcible language. I hat by bis late brilliant and classical com- positions he lias done more to enrich, to elevate, and to adorn the ancient Doric dialect of the metropolis, than any person now living, not even excepting that admirable proficient in pure colloquial Billingsgate — Muntz, Esq. 3 inat this meeting cordially sympathizes with the efforts of the Liberal Members of tne House of Com- mons, in rendering Parliamentary and Billingsgate language synonimous, and that by their assistance, this meeting confidently anticipates the near approach of a period when those odious and exclusive prejudices, hitherto opposed to the introduction of the language into political discussion, shall cease to operate, and the establishment of a pure colloquial democracy shall render Billingsgate the universal language of civilized society. ™ 4. I hat this meeting, fully comprehending its mission, will relinquish, at the proper period, the monopoly of strong language hitherto enjoyed by the ladies of this vicinity, and will petition His Majesty to establish a board for tiie better encouragement and diffusion of Billingsgate, to be called the Bil- lingsgate Board; and that this meeting cannot but express their decided opinion that the Right Rev. Dr. M'Hale, Messrs. O'Connell, Muntz,' Charles Pearson, and the Right Hon. the Lord Brougham and Vaux, should be members of such board, and that those gallant. and d isting-uished friends of tlte cause in America, the Hon. Major John Downing, of Downingville, and Colonel David Crockett,' of Tennessee, should be requested to give their powerful assistance as corresponding members. Signed,onbehatfofthe Meeting.
