So little has been eniil of Ireland lately, in our advices from abroad, that it tuny well be said she is forgotten among the nations, else her weeping and wailing, now, are become so inaudible as scarce ly to nrrest the attention of the rest of the world.

The owners of thi« property, it is supposed, have learned to regard women and children without bouses as they regard them without shoes, arguing that tho head needs no morecovoring than tho feet We are tho more inclined to think this from tlio cool unmoved way in which mosses of ruined dwellings seem to be regarded, uml tho practice of their ruin defended. 1 he render must bo warned against the hypothesis that when he has seen the multitude of roofless gables which abound ho has had all the evi dence of the destruction of houses which has taken Ijluce n iu very many localities, we are informod that tho owners of property remove ns last.as they can all trace.of thedwellinga they destroy. It may be that, on some properties the process of eviction bus been J dreed on tlio land owner, as a measure of aelfore- servution ; nor would it bo right to deny that, in some cuacs, great humahjty is shown in endeavoring to provide u refuge for some of those who were evic ted by giving them passages to America, St.c., but it w no vfolation of the truth to say that a great deal of this eviction la carried out in a wanton unfeeling spirit, toward*) the evicted, and on grounds of mere selfish expediency most disgraceful. Within the first two weeks of July, alone, no fewer than 107 houses wore levelled in one district in the Listowell unioAr Wo give below some sad Illustration of this pro- ecBS Of eviction, ns well us n picture of what west- eri) Ireland is at this- moment. Homo of tho ificl- donts related lira almost too horrid for belief. Would that they were all false i— TUB PROCESS OB EVICTION. Tho operation of “ houar-tumbling” is in itself a very simple affair; tho legalnotices having been giv- eu to the roHeving-olBcor that a certain number of bouses are on a given day to be "-tumbled,” lie meets, tbeiidtoriff’s deputy on the spot. This official b somo- ttuies accompanied by a body of armed police. The shrnil s officer goes through a certain form, putting the agent in full possession. The word is n6w given, and with a speed only to he acquired by long prac- tice the; people are put outside their dwellings; their furniture-**, e n the potato-pot, a stool or two, a large square box, and something meant for a bed, with aomething meant for clothing-—is soon removed some Lttie distance from the house The wo men and children thus forced out now take up a chorus oi prayers, passionate entreaties for mercy, not seldom ending in passionate imprecations ot vengaenee, such as tho women of tins country alono can give effect to. They will throw themselves S**otind; they will embrace tho very feet ot the agent a horse ; they will bent their breasts and ' skene OTgfthe fall oi their roof-tree as they used to skeno over their dead before the death of kindred became so very Common. . ® ut to abbreviate so Sorrowful r story, prayers and imprecations are all in vain. Such prayers are mere routine; the thing is done every day ; like the dust m the tailing thatch, curses or prayers are just a ne cessary inconvenience attendant on* the operation in i m “P° t0 work, bays; it isn’t all day we can wait. A • t boy” is soon on the roof—u hole is made —n rope fastened round the timber, which goes from the npeX of one gable to that of the other—there are others to pull thy rope—a efowbttr or two is pluced nuder the Walhplute at one or more of the corners— one good pull and a lift or two, and down comes the ^hole rootv a soknb iff tub county of clarh. Passing through a part of the county of Glare, we came to a mass of roofless gables, and I thought I saw some smoke coming up from the comer of one ot these ruins.

But, were we to go on relating these facts, undoubt ed, because given on undisputed authority, we should weary and disgust the reader. This system of evic tion is au outrage upon civilization that should not be counteuiuiccd. It is iuhuman.nmlofsocruelachar- acter that the Vandals themselves would huve been ashamed of it.

FinKMF.NW Caps.—It always nifords us pleasure to find any new article manufactured in our city, which we have been accustomed to purchase from another quarter. Such is tho case with tho article mentioned above. Our attention wus attracted to some specimens exhibited in the window of Mr. 7’. YY. Rr.-an, corner of Drayton street and Ray lane; and upon examination nnd enquiry, we found them to be handsome, well finished caps, and furnished, so Mr. Bbyan informs us, us cheaply as they can be obtained iu any other city. We volunteer this puff I3F* Southern Rights meetings are being held throughout the State, which, almost without an ex ception, adopt resolutions favoring the Missouri line. Within the few days past, meetings have been held in Burke, Meriwether, Monroe, and Troup counties. We have rend the resolutions of tlie Burke meeting, which breathe the right spirit, and reflect as we be lieve tho opinions of nine-tenths of the people of Geor gia. Like tho Clarke county resolutions, they are in favor of the Missouri Compromise lino, and are mod erate and coffciliatory in their language. Tho action of no county in tlie State is entitled to greater consid eration nnd respect, than that of old Burke. The Southern Committee.—Hon. C. S. More head, of Kentucky, has been appointed a member of tlie committee of fifteen of tho Southern' Caucus, in place of Mr. McCldan, of Kentucky, (not Maryland) declined. The committee now stands as follows Mr. Tombs, Chairman; Messrs. Burt, Hilliard, Thompson, Miss.; Cabell, Howard, Johnson, Ark., Moore, Green, Scddon, Cliugman, Thomas, More' hond, llous’ton nnd Bowie. The Committee have not as yet agreed upon any report. It is thought that one object of the commit tee is to concert measures to resist the passage of tlie California bill in tho House without proper amend ments. ANew picture nv Lessing.—A letter at N. Y from Duascldrop under date of 9th July, says thut Lessing's Great Painting, “The Martydom of Huss ’’ had just been finished and had been exhibited i'or the last tew days at tliq Academy of Fine Arts, where it was visited by thousands. When it became known that orders for its immediate shipment had arrived irom N. York, tlio desire to obtain a last view of this truly great work became so intense that it was found necessary to put the Police in requisition to keep hack the throng, and the gates of the Academy had to be closed, it caused general regret Tho Cologne Gazette culls this picture the most sublime produc tion ot the great urtist, and bxpresses a conviction that n speedy fortune might bo realized by its ex. hibition iu Europe. Our relations with Portugal, says tho Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, are ip a confused state. It seems that Mr. Webster, does not quite fplly approve the conduct of Mr. Clayton, nud will endeavor to extricate our government hon orably, without pursuing tho line of policy marked out by the previous Secretary. A message on the subject, is shortly to be sent to Congress. The ad ministration in this, as well us in the Mexican burf ness, will be firm ; but while firm, there is no nt'ceaTh ty why we aliould plunge recklessly into war. The responsibility ot hostilities must-be shared by the two Houses, although this will not prevent tho Executive Irom certain recommendations which he deems called for under the circumstances. Everything will be de- termlued in good time. EF* A writer in the Philadelphia Bullet in, says the mai7wi35ii'tVTOchTlld'renTtiS*eidmt, U |t^ri P abouTl2 yours of age, was perfectly naked.

A very few miles further on we i he Cholera in Xennesiee. Tho Cholera has found a woman witli a family of children existing un- 80 amrly disappeared on tho liue of tlie Nashville and dor the half of her roof. Here she mid hers had been Chuttunoooga Railroad, that the laborers have re lor weeks. She Waa almost naked to tl.e waist. Her turned, nnd are about to resume work. The num' her of deaths at the Tunnel was thirteen, mostly confined to persons of dissipated habits. The death of a brother of one of the contractors, was almost tho only exception to this general rule. The panic for a few days waa very great; but it has now entirely passed away, nnd tlie laborers have resumed their places, nnd the work will now be pressed for- ward os heretofore. The Grots in Cherokee. Duriug the last three weeks, says the Macon Messenger of yesterday, wa have personally inspected many of tlie crops in sev eral of the principal counties <£ Cherokee. The drought has been pretty general alH very protracted, and both tlie cotton and corn crops arc unjiromisiug. The first crop of cotton bolls which usually opens here in August, will be almost entirely cut oil’, nnd tho weed generally contains from one third to one half lessiruit than usual. The corn crop is still more unpromising than the cotton—The drought unfortu nately commenced just as the ear camejiuto silk and has continued in some sections for four weeks. The ears were consequently not more than half the prop er size, and the grain will be unusually light. In muny fields wc noticed that the silk and tassels were entirely dead, so that no raina couid now make any change for the better in the prospects ol the farmers- Upon the whole, we have no hesitation iu saying, that the crops in Cherokee tlie present year are iar be low an average. Even the wheat crop, which prom, ised so finely Imtho spring, has turned cut to he n comparative failure. Motive Power From Electro Magnetism. The Baltimore Patriot of Friday last says that Mr. J.

Mr. PEARCE'S has paVsed the Henate mi OKTANT Flip31 WASHINGTON! with the votes of the Toxnn and Georgia Sen- Meeting of the Southern Members of the tors, takes rattier Iobs territory from Texas than •“ ~ e *»—-— would have been taken by Mr. Clay’s bill, for which it gives ten millions ■ hill, the assent of Tf ....„ „ come a law. The last section reserves five millions of the purchase money for the payment of the Tex an bonds, Sic. An important feature of the Bill, which was not embraced in the draft of it, first published in the Northern papers, is tho following proviso: Provided father, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to impair or qualify any thing con tained in tho third article of the 2d section of the "joint resolution for annexing Texas to the United States," approved March 1, 1845, either as regards the number of States that may hereafter be formed out of the State of Texas, or otherwise. The article of the joint resolutions here referred to, is in the following words i “New States of convenient size, not exceeding lour iu number, in addition to the said State of Tex as, and having sufficient population, may hereafter, by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall lie entitled to tlie ad mission under the provisions of the Federal consti tution. And such States as may bo formed out of that portion of said Territory lying south of thirty- six degrees thirty minutes north latitude, commonly known os the Missouri Compromise line, si all bo admitted into tlie Union with or without slavery, as the people ot each State asking admission may de sire. And in such State or States as shall bn formed out ot said Territory, north of said Missouri Com promise lino, sluvery or involuntary servitude) except for crime, shall be prohibited.” 3’liis article clearly recognizes tho claim of Texas to tho territory beyond the line of 3G 30, as well as the application ol’ the Missouri compromise, nnd if the friends of the bill, will curry out the principle of that compromise, now, there can be no objection to Mr. PeaiIce’s bill—Texas consenting to relinquish her claim to the territory. If they will run the Mis souri line through to tho Pacific, with “protection” to the South, south of that line, we will soon hear no more dissatisfaction, so far as our territorial rights, are concerned. The Inst telegraphic accounts received from Wash ington, state that the California bill has passed the Senate with the Missouri line for its southern bounda ry. If this be true, it would look as if there was still a fair prospect of the adoption of tho Missouri com promise. The northern boundary of 3'exas, testing on that line, as it does by Mr. PEaece’s bill, and the southern boundary of California being the same line, it only remains for Congress to divide New Mex ico and the territory acquired irom Texas, by 36 30, with "prohibition” North, and "protection” South of that line and it will be established from Missouri to the Pacific, a permanent basis of reconciliation and peace between the North and South. Wo sincerely hope that this policy- may be adopt ed by the friends of Union in Congress, of all parties. But wo still have our fears. The struggle is yet to come in the House, where the most discordant ele ments exist, nnd where an effort will no doubt bo made to apply the “ Wilmot Proviso." The South ern members we nre sure, will not permit this last opportunity to pass without an effort to secure the rights ol'tlie South in t\ie territories, while they will be met with an equal determination on tho part of the free soilers, who will exert all their strength in the support of their Proviso. If these men can be in duced to accept the Missouri line, all will yet be vyell. But, on the contrary, should they succeed in forcing their unconstitutional measure of restriction upon tho South, wo cannot see how the Union is to sur vivo so gross a violation of every principle of right- end |juetice. As we have said the great strugglo is yet to lake pluceiiithe House. Whether the matter will be settled at this session, is very doubtful.

Resolved, That tho representatives of the slavehold iug States, will resist by all usual legislative and con stitutional means, the admission of the State of Cali fornia and the adjustment of tho Texas boundary,un til a settlement of tho territorial questions. Be it further Resolved, That the powers and duties of tho Committee of fifteen bo continued until the further action of the meeting, and that Hie Chairmnn of thut committee, by tlie concurrence of any three members thereof, may at any time call a meeting of the representatives of tho slavcholding States. EF" The proceedings of Congress on Saturday, amounted to very little. In tho Senate, Mr. Yulee’s amendment to the California bill authorizing the con tinuance oi the existing government, ns a provisional government—the appointment of Governor and Judges by the President—bounding the territory south by 36, 30—reserving the proprietorship of tlie public lands to tho United States—and giving to the territory south of 36,30, a territorial government like that of Utah, was rejected by a vote of 12 to 35, our Senators voting for the amendment. The House occupied the day in discussing the Pre- dent’s Message, and party politics generally. [Communicated.] Liaes, DEDICATED TO MRS. OLIVIA WARD ON THE DE CEASE OF THREE LOVELY CHILDREN. BY ANNE BOWNE. I know the waters of bitterness roll In deepest nffiiction now o’er thy soul. I know, too, hoW lonely thy bruis’d hoart must feel; But He who aifiictcth is able to heal. Thy darlings have left thee ; their pathway now lies 'Mid the gems in the heavens, the stars in the skies. Think not of them dead. Our Father knew best— He Jiath taken them home, how happy and blest. I know there’s a vacancy,—a void dark und drear A gap in thy household; stem death hath been here. Thy dear little Hall, with his bright flashing eye, Was the first called away, the first one to die. Then another, thy Johnny, with springs early breath Was called from thy arms, by the angel of death; Yet thy cup wus not full—God called one more— Thy sweet little Gordon—’tis now running o’er. Fond mother, these precious ones only were lent Our Father in wisdom a messenger Bent, And took but his own, to that beautiful land, Where in richest luxuriance thy buds will expand. Oh, wish not to have them recalled to this life. It is but a pathway of sorrow and strife. They’re gone, ere they knew w^lint the hoart must en dure, And gone hi their innocence, happy and pure. If in sympathy there is a balm to be found, Then know thut my heart feels most deeply thy wound, But I know thou hast sought sweet Gilead’s balm And tlie river now so troubled, soon will he calm. - We know, my dear friend, had their lives been here spared. 'That earth’s bitter griefs they would surely have shared. How much happier now than earth over could make Are thy Children in Heaven,—be resigned for their sak#. . Tho’ thy sky is all darkened, and turbid the stream, Beyond these thick clouds, shines a radiant beam. Thy days, swiftly passing, will aftun bring the where Thy darlings are waiting to welcome thee there. What sweet consolation to know they’re still thine To feel Ihou cun’st meet them in regions divine. Our Father who has taken, again will restore— Thou It meet them in Heaven, to part never more.

Heavy Hobery at Saratoga Springs.—A few nights since some thieves entered tho bed room of the book keeper of the United Stutes Hotel at Sarato ga and while the latter was asleep, carried off all his aloths to begin with.

Much more money was in the safq, which tho theives probably overlooked. Two men are suspected and are closely watched. Humbugging a Mule.

United States Coast Survey Office.} a r, Washington, July 26,1850. ) Sir : I have the honor to rqport, that in obedience to your instructions I made a re-examination of Uat tera8 Inlet, in June last, nnd found many changes from the recounoissnncca of the previous year. The entrance between the outer breakers has shift cd more to the north east, and neurer the beach. Tht east point has washed away, and made more to tlie north and east in Pamlico Sound. Tho west pointhai inndo more out into the Inlet towards the north anil ea9t. There is between the outer breaker from tei to twelve feet at mean low water, and twelve feel can lm carried up to a good nnphorngo inside of sane spits Six feet can be carried over the bulkhead ink Pumlico Sound. A sluice has opened to tlio northwnrd of theeasi point of the Inlet, which makes a good harbor i'oi small vessels. I would not ivcomniond buoys to he placed in the Inlet, as it is not a permanent condition, aud they might therefore mislead if any chan^ should occui. For this reason, as* well as that the tide runs so strong that vessels are in danger of hc- ingswept upon tlie numerous sand 6pits or shoal 9 -J weulu advise all vessels unnequaintea with tho Inlet to take a pilot, who may be obtained by hoistingtheir flag at the fore. I would recommend a buoy to be placed on Long Shoal, in Pamlico Sound, to prevent vessels touch ing on it, as a good guide in making for tlie bulkhead from the Sound side.
