the head, anil lodged about two inches and a half above the 
left ear. Tho murdered man appeared to have been shot by 
a pistol in the middle of the road, and killed in>tantaneously. 
He inu6t then have been dragged across to tho green sward, 
between the footpath and hedge, where his right-hand 
trousers’ pocket had been turned inside out. When found 
he was lying on his face, having his trousers and waistcoat 
unbuttoned ; his lmt and neckerchief were missing, and 
nothing, except two penny receipt stamps, was found upon 
him. At the Railway Inn, Leicester, where he had been 
drinking, ho had stated that ho wus “broke,” having no 
money with him. No evidence was given at tho Inquest to 
show that ho had any money upon him nt tho time the 
murder was committed. The hut of deceased was found by 
n policeman, having been dropped into tho corner of Braun- 
stone Spinney, about 160 yards from the place where tho 
murder was committed. The bullet was not. a moulded ono, 
but appeared to have belonged to a not, and battered for a 
pistol. Though tho police arc making active investigations, 
they have at present no clue to the perpetrators of tho crime. 
The Inquest stands adjourned till Tuesday week. 
Shrewsbury Show. — This time-honoured pageant 
came off on Monday. At an early hour excursion trains 
from the midland nnd northern counties began to arrive, and 
by noon perhaps not less than 30,000 persons bad been set 
down at tho railway station, while there was an almost end- 
less train of vehicles of nil descriptions entering the town by 
every available approach, and crowds of pedestrians poured 
in on every side. About 11 o'clock the several trades began 
to muster, with their bands of music and streamers, and at 
midday the grand procession moved from the Market- square, 
headed by tho Shropshire militia band, aud proceeded 
through the principal streets of tho town, which were 
densely lined with spectators. Shortly after 2 o clock the 
procession returned to the Market-square, where it was 
joined by tho mayor nnd corporation, nnd at halt-past 2 it 
started for Kingslaml. Ilenry I., who granted the first charter 
to Shrewsbury, was represented ; Edward 4 I. (the founder 
of Shrewsbury school); an Indiun chief, followed by several 
of the trades ; Vulcan (in iron armour), followed by the 
smiths; Queen Elizabeth, followed by tho hairdressers; 
Crispin, followed by the shoemakers ; Rubens, followed by 
the pointers; a steam-engine, followed by the engineers; 
Jenny Jones nnd Edward Morgan, Cupid aud tho stag, fol- 
lowed by the tailors and skinners ; a knight of the cleaver, 
followed by tho butchers ; und there were representations 
of the seasons, and a group characteristic of the battle ot 
Shrewsbury, including Hotspur in chain armour. On 
arriving at Kingslaml, the sovoral guilds filed off to their 
respective arbours. The Mayor aud corporation and tho 
show committee retired to the butchers’ arbour, where a 
grund luncheon was provided. After tho customary round 
of toasts wus disposed of, the corporation visited the dif- 
ferent arbours and tho principal exhibitions on the ground. 
Tho scene was gay and animating in the extreme, nnd per- 
haps on no previous occasion has the attendance been greater, 
or the umusemonts mure eagerly and generally participated 
in. It was not until evening that the procession returned to 
tho town, and the merrymakers fur a time suspended their 
gay proceedings, to renew the festivities next day. 
IRELAND. 
ENGLAND AS SUE IS; AND IRELAND AS SHE 
MIGHT BE. 
Sir,— A llow mo to offer some remarks for your con- 
sideration, as well ns that of tire public at large, on those 
topics of tho times which appear to have engaged tho atten- 
tion, not only of our Legislature in general, but especially 
that section of it in whose keeping tho peace and security 
of all grades of society Is entrusted. I allude more par- 
ticularly to the social and political condition of Ireland, 
which still remains a riddle to all thinking men, and, I fear, 
a hopeless puzzle to tho Legislature. Roduccd, as she really 
is, not to the verge of bankruptcy, but beyond tho possibility 
of becoming bankrupt; her population perishing by the 
waysido of famine, and in tho hospitals of fever ; robbed of 
their money by- designing agitators, who, pretending to ba 
their friends, arc hurrying them to misery and destruction, 
without trade, without commerce, without manufacture ; 
ami in this state of prostrate helplessness, nt the (I fain 
would hope) final, though certainly anticipated, result and 
termination of a civil war, which, during its existence, 
displayed all tho virulence of tho pent-up, but long 
Struggling volcano. , _ , 
It is very hard, sir, to think of this condition of affairs, in 
a country so favoured by nature, and so cursed by man, 
without feeling pity for her fato, and a strong desire to 
mitigate, if possible, tho evils under which she suffers. 
Look at tho ordeal of sufferings through which Ireland bus 
passed, whilst England was rising to power and grandeur 
amongst nations, until slie became tho Mistress of tho world. 
In 1728, a bad harvest brought on famine, which, with 
the fever that ensued as n consequence, devastated the 
country for Tour years, and swept away hundreds of thou- 
mnds. After two years of comparative comfort, another 
unproductive harvest ensued in 1734, which, with its 
accompanying fever, not only swept away above a million, 
but so wore down the spirit of tho peoplo, ami left the 
survivors in such a state of enervation, that it is doubtful 
whether tho loiter were not tho greater loss to tho country 
than those who fell victims. Again, in 1739, the same 
ravages spread untin 742. Between this and 1811 famine 
and rebellion wont hand in hand. In 1817 famine and 
fever swept away a million and a half of the labouring 
classes In 1822 the devastation again appeared ; and now, 
eince 1846, Ireland lias lost nearly two millions of her popu- 
lation, by famine, fever, and emigration. Remembering, along 
with this, how much political causes hove tended to retard 
Ireland in her march of civilization, how constantly poverty 
end suffering wear down the spirits of men, ami crumble 
tlieir energies of mind, ns tho drop of water wears the atone ; 
wo cannot blame tho people for these things; they know 
not what to do ; they oro not taught what to do, and man 
1ms not tho instinct natural in him to make out a livelihood, 
or turn himself to industry, unless ho ia taught the nccossi y 
of it, either by precopt or example. Thus, sir, it will op- 
pear, that so long as this fallow ground is only turned to 
account, to bear tho thorns and briars of political 
■o long it can bo productive ot nothing useful. 1 Hitt, wo 
readily ami clearly perceive it is of no use to soy, Lot tl o 
people of Ireland labour for tlieir bread as well a8 t ’ ° f e0 ^ . 
of England-let them] put tlieir bands ‘“ J P 
tlieir hearts to tho work-let them cast seed Into tho ground, 
nnd profit by tho sunshine for which others pry- . Alas . 
the poor who lmng on the neck of HBlandj Ond choke the 
life-breath in ber, have no place to lubour for then bread u 
— have no ploughs to put their hands to — have no seed to 
cast into the ground — and, abovo oil, have no remunerative 
market to bring the product of their labour to. 
The Political Economitt maintains, that Ireland wants 
cnpital. It is labour that produces capital; and when tho Irish 
peoplo arc brought to learn the indm-triul knowledge which 
lias made this country great aud flourishing, she will then 
discover her errors. Ireland lias abundaut resources to be 
the strong i iglit arm of England, instead of being, as now, a 
thorn in her side. She has coal mines, lead minus, aud iron 
mines ; she hus water power sufficient to turn the machinery 
of the world ; she has harbours numerous nnd capacious ; 
she has a fertile soil capable of producing anything. But it 
is not ropeal, or reform, or voto by ballot, or any other po- 
litical meteor she wants, to turn these to account. No ; she 
wants industrial knowledge, she wants a heart of ambition, 
•lie wunts tho spirit, the energy of mind, the perseverance, 
that achieved everything great and glorious sinco the crea- 
tion of tho world, tho putting, as it wore, her ownshouldor 
to tho wheel, nnd without ull of which, nothing great and 
glorious can over be achioved ; whereas, if tho enormous 
drains on her resources, which have been the effect of 8«ita- 
tiou during the last thirty years, had been applied to teach- 
ing her poor peoplo how to help themselves, sho would bo 
in a very different condition from what she is. I feel per- 
suaded that until something broad and bold be done for 
that unfortunate country, she will be descending lower and 
lower in the rank of nations every day. Tuibulenco and 
discontent will prevail as long as the peoplo have no interest 
in tho country, and see that they lose nothing by being noisy, 
aud gain nothing by being quiet. Those who encourage 
disturbance, having no property to lose or to forfeit by a 
defeat, are cureless and reckless as to tho consequences, and 
like tho leaders in all rebellions, ambitious of attracting at- 
tention. They aspire to fame on tho samo principle as the 
hero, who, un’ablo to achieve anything good or useful, deter- 
mined to reach a namo of renown by burning the famous 
temple of Diana. 
The English peoplo aro very well aware that Ireland is, 
und has been, for a vast number of years, u troublo, a 
vexation, aud an expento, to this country ; they are, more- 
over, no less cognizant of the fact, that they must pay to feed 
it, nnd pay to keep it in ordor. Ground down and impover- 
ished by taxes (wo aro told) and truly so “ that no such bur- 
dens cau be lightened, whilst Ireland is expensive.” 
Let then the people be taught how to turn their heads aud 
their hands to profitable labour ; let agitation, rebellion, and 
treasonable practices, bo put down at once by the strong arm 
of the law, or rather by the far stronger arm of industrial 
education, based upon tho pure groundwork of unity, peace, 
and concord ; let tho Irish poor be especially instructed to 
abandon the fallacy of being supported by the land, and 
learn that God gave them faculties for the purpose of sup- 
porting themselves — and then, with God's blessing, shall sho 
soon find, that her strength will bo renewed as the eagle’s, 
and that by depending upon herself, she will gradually regain 
those comforts and blessings which the English hearth is ever 
wont to oxperienco. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
