NEW BRUNEWICK.—The session of the pro riseisl legiolature was closed on Thursday, March 30. On this occasion Sir William Colebrooke delivered his valedic tory address.

The committee complain that several of the government officers or in the b.,bit of retaining balances of the public money is their bonds for an improper length of time ; and that ethers charms commission on transactions when there is no Pollismentary warrant for doing so. AUSTRALIA FELIX.—A rumour prevailed at lielbuarne that this i:istriet was about to he erected into a alliarate colony, independent of New South Wales. This re universal satisfaction. The rumour added that Mr. ulefhomson was to be governor. This intelligence was temired with blank dismay. Considerable agitation pre. ' ll , u'd among the magnates of the "squat " on the so re o f 'wet A statement in the Port Philhp l'atreot had, how 7ri, somewhat appeased it. "We learn," says the l'atriat, 'bum a most respectable authority, that, as we originally %laud, leases will carry their common law right of trnsfer with them; the government, however, will specially restrict that TOL' to the transfer of the whole and not a portion of . " 14 V. " Among the colonists there was but one voice as to the inadequate supply of labour. Their cry was—" La tat, labour, more labour." SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—AdeIaide papers to the hit of November describe a state of unexampled pros- Pfljty in that colony. When emigrant ships were daily Mang, some time ago (observes the Register), bringing I hruhandreds of immigrants, the working classes began to lantelued that the labour market would be overstocked, 1 1 tad s weet run short, but now the most cautious settlers admit that it is not hundreds, but thousands that are "sated, and could be advantageously employed for carrying oat the extension of agricultural cultivation and improve !tato, "industrious Projects, and important designs," which "ere actually contending in the market for a priority in the 1 tlPpli of labour. I t Muth PROVIDENCE.—Adviees from Nassau to uelllB, have been received. The bill for the separation 1 ,f i i .l r Yhi Island has passed the House of Assembly and the of Council by a very decisive vote. A report was cur -7,a in Providence on the 3rd ult., that the town of Port au past's had been nearly destroyed by a land slip from a toutitain in the rear of the town. F RANCE.—LOCIS BLANC, says a correspondent of the Manz/over Examiner , is come of noble blood, the very ben indeed o f Conics 'his mother being own sister to Collin Foul di B orgo, the celebrated diplomatist. he war remarkable at college for his great natural talents rPtne,erauce in stucy•• and from its having become a '4 understood in the Tamil that he was to pursue the ',career for whi c h hi s uncle had obtained so much power Ind influence, his attention had been early directed to the t rolly of history and the art of government. Few men . in an greeter book knowledge of foreign policy Luis Blanc, and had he chosen to follow the pro.fes eon of. diplomacy he would doubtless have risen is eminence and distiacti9n, lie had already perlenced much suffering at college from the mockery of his fellow-students, to whom the childish appearance of Louis Blanc became of course • fruitful theme of epigram and insult. It is not in the nature of his country men to make any display of passion or hatred, and so the young student bore the ridicule in silence, kept aloof from his comrades, and lived the life of a hermit, amply consoled for present suffering by the reflection of the future fame which his unceasing applization to study would enable him to acquire in the diplomatic world, in which it was agreed that he was to make his Wbut as secretary to his cousin, Count Charles Pomo di Bingo, who was then applying for the Brussels legation. It was thus, invested with the stria and title of secret airs d'ansbasAade, that Louis Blanc first appeared upon the stage of public life, by attending tine of the far. famed diplomatic soirees of the Duchess de D—, whose influence in the great world of Paris was at that time undivided and undisputed. The revrt tooth of the talents and pretensions of the young diploniate had, of course, reached the coterie over which presided the duchess, and excited therein various sentiments—some of interest, others of envy; and his appearance was looked for with some little degree of curiosity. lie was presented by the veteran l'ezzo himself, and on the announcement of that well known name all eyes were turned to the door, and wandered from the tall and portly person of the old ambassador to the diminutive figure beside him, in so much amazement that a murmur escaped from the usually well bred crowd—whether of surprise or mockery it would have been impossible to decide. Louis Blanc bore the imper tinent scrutiny of whirls he had become the object with ill-' disguised impatience ; and by the time he had reached the head of the room, where reclined in languid state the fair hostess, his temper had waxed rather warm." " Permit mato in.roduce to your notice my nephew"_ said the *ld count, bowing with sourtier-like dignity to the duchess, who— perhars still under the impression of some incomparably witty saying which had just reached her ear, concerning the poor little diplomatist—raised herself, with a languid stare, from the sofa, and, gazing vacantly over the shoulder of the count, exclaimed, in a tone of sweet bewilderment, " Where is he ?—I should like to see him !" This direct criticism upon the almost invisible proportions of her visitor caused • titter to run through the assembly ; and many and many a compliment, no doubt, did it procure ter the lovely lips which had uttered it so boldly. But the Cor sican Moo of Louis Blanc, to this very hour, has forbade forgiveness of the cruel insult. From that moment did he eschew all idea of a career to be pursued amid the heartless ness of • court, and of success to be obtained only by the sacrifice of his personal dignity. He declared to his uncle that very night, that ho had resigned all pretensions to the appoin•ment which he had been at so much pains to obtain for him, and when the good old man, although readily guessing at the cause of his disgust, ventured to remonstrate and to pro pose other posts of importance to his notice, the young man answered bitterly, that feeling that he had no right to intrude himself amongst the more favoured he had resolved upon turning his attention to the service of those to whom such service might be of value. Do you not observe the result of this unfortunate soiree in every line of his book, " Dix Ans de ttigne ?" I have beard that Louis Philippe has often been heard to declare tkat those volumes had acted as a bat tering-ram to the bulwarks of royalty in France ; if so, the Duchess de D— and her bevy of attache's have much to answer for. SW El )EN.—srocKnoLm, APRIL IL—CHANGE IN THE M I NISTRY.-All the ministers who held portfolios at the commencement of the Diet have resigned, and have been replaced as follows: Count Gustav Spurre, minister of justice; Baron Gustav Niels Stjerneld, minirter of foreign affairs; C. L. \'on llohenhausen, minister of war; J. T. Etsri nstarn, minister of marine; Anders Petters Suudstro mer, minister of finance ' • Paul Genberg, minister of reli gion ; Niels Frederick Wallensteen, counsellor of state with out portfolio ; Ephraim Gunther, counsellor of state without portfolio. The third post of consultation in the cabinet, which is still vacant, is said to be destined for Count Platen or Baron Ter , meden. All the ministers who have resigned have entered upon high official posts. Of the new ministers we can only say, that they are by no means men of tried political principles. They are men of high honour, but give no guarantee for the change of administration, which is so unversally desired. It is said that an army of observation is to be placed at Schonen. Several steamer , and frigates are to be fitted for sea. A battalion of gun jollies are to be placed at Stock holm station. Several vessels have also been arranged for the exercise of the sailors and cadets. RUSSIA. The Russian consuls and consular agents in Paris and the various seaports of France have been commanded to remain at their posts for the protection of Russian subjects, especially in respect to commerce and navigation. ibis Majesty has likewise commanded that the French consuls and consular agents in Russia shall be recog nised as hitherto. POLAND.—The Breslau Gazette states that the report of • conspiracy having besn discovered in the Russian garrison at Warsaw has been confirmed. A number of °dicers have been arrested. Me Court. - - Lord John Russell arrived at Osborne yesterday afternoon from town. The noble lord had an audience of her Majesty. On Monday and Tuesday in the current week her Majesty's royal charities were, according to very ancient usage, distributed to aged and necessitous persons. The numbers of this class have unhappily of late very much increased. The royal gate alms were also distributed to 165 persons. 'This charity is of ancient origin, and formerly was distributed to the poor at the gate of the royal palace at Whitehall. The Bishop of London held a confirmation yester day of about forty of the juvenile nobility and gentry, in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. A deputation, consisting of Messrs. Colvile, Cowan, M'Chlery, and 11. Barkly, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-o ffi ce. The Hon. Charles Law had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office.—Colonel Anson had also an interview with the right hon. hart. Despatches from the governors of the North Ameri can provinces, and also from the Governor of the Gold Coast were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Mr. Mark Boyd had an interview yesterday with her Majesty's commissioners of emigration. THE PRAYER FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF PEACE. The following is the form of prayer for the main tenance of peace and tranquility, to be used this day (Good Friday), the 21st April. and on the four Sundays following, in all churches and chapels in England and Wales, and in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed: " 0 God, whose never failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth ; we Thine unworthy ser vants most humbly beseech Thee to continue Thy favour to this land, and to preserve us alike from foreign enemies and domestic divisions. We acknowledge, 0 Lord, that if Thou weft to deal with us after our sins, or reward us according to our iniquities, we might most justly have fallen under Thy wrath and indignation. For in our prosperity we have too much forgotten Thee; other lords besides Thee have had dominion over us ; we have offended against Thy holy laws, and have not glorified Thee, in whose hand our breath is, and whose are all our ways. Thou host said in Thy Holy Word, that when Thy judgments are upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness ; and now we beseech Thee so to incline the hearts of the people of this bind that the) may bear one anther's burdens, and follow the things that make for peace, and have lore one towards another. And du Thou, Lord, of Thy great mercy, restore to us such prosperity that we may not saw much and bring in little, but that Thou mayest bless us in whatsoever we set our hand unto ; and that our people may eat their own bread with quietness. Above all, teach us so to acknowledge Thee, the Author and (liver of all good, that we may live in Thy faith arid fear, setting our affections on things above, and seeking first Thy heavenly kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom, with Thec and the Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end. Amen." MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.

POWNALL pre sided, and on taking his seat expressed his satisfaction that the mi assures which bad been adopted by her Majesty's go vernment for the preservation of the peace of the metropolis on the 10th inst. had been , ffectual, and he further offered his cordial thanks to all those persons who came forward to be sworn in as special con'tables on that important occasion. Their willing as ii devoted realises to edit the authorities of the county in vind:cating the autnority of the law, and the mainteualiee of the public peine, deserved, ha said, the highest possible praise. He :elt confident that in saying this he spoke the general feeling of the bench—that they had all witnessed with great satisfaction this manifestation of public opinion , which went to prove how dearly Englishmen prized the constitution under which they lived, and how implicitly their Queen might confide in the loyalty and devotedness of her people. (Applause.) Whilst rejoicing at the peaceable termination of the proceedings he referred to, he trusted that the in dustrious classes would see that the magistrates, as well as the other constituted authorities, were most anxious to pro mote their welfare by every lawful means. (Hear.) Some resolutions on the subject would be laid before the court, and he felt they would receive a hearty approval. Mr. WILKB then rose, and after congratulating the court and the country at large on the results of the precautionl ary mea sures of Sir George Grey on the 10th, proposed the fo lowing resolution : That this court, composed of the magistrates of the metropolitan county of Middlesex, including the city of Westminster, eagerly profit by the Ilrot opportunity cm their assembling, to expme and record their mutual, hem ty, loyal . , and devout satiefuction, at the en lightened, active, and self-denying spirit manifest.' gvnerally by their neighbours and fellow.caurens. on Monday week.

THE Hots.. or CORRECTION.—The reports of the visiting justices of the various prisons were laid before the court.

THE RESIGNATION OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THU Homey or TRADE, the Right Hon.

HAL MINING ASSOCIATION.-Yesterday the tint annual meeting of shareholders was held at the offices, 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge. The company was formed last year, for the purpose of conducting operations in the Kinsig Valley and the adjacent parts. It is subject to the mining code of the Grand Dukedom of Baden. Its seat is at Stuttgart, until permanently fixed in the locality of the mines.-Mr. J. Masterman, jun., occupied the chair.--The directors, in their report, stated that the prospectus of the association having been issued on the 10th of March, 1817, and distributed, the shares (5,000 in number) were at once taken, and the deposits on them duly paid. The statutes were officially arranged on the lath April, and the directors lost no time in commencing opera tions. Being assured that the large extent of the country over which they had the right of mining abounded in minerals of great value, and having the right to choose seventy mines (by which term the Germans mean principal lodes) to work at one and the same time, they selected a few mines not far distant from one another. A preliminary purvey was then made, which occupied until the mouth of July, when Professor Ansted, of King's College, visited the property and reported on its condition and prospects. In his re porttb at gentleman stated that the prospect of abundant sumer was sufficiently clear to justify the most sanguine expectations. In the Schapsbach Valley there were large quantities of copper and lead ; in the Tiepenbach Valley, silver, bismuth, end antimony ; in the upper part of the Whittichen Valley, silver, cobalt, bismuth, nickel, and other metals, whilst in the lower Whittichen district he anticipated still greater re suite. There were a few other districts where, in the short distance of two miles, at many as five distinctly marked and promising lodes of the precious metals occurred. The com mittee proceeded to state that a surveyor had been appointed, and after the plans and surveys had been prepared, Pro fessor Ansted again visited the mines, and submitted his plans of working, which bad been adopted. In the mouth of November last the directors were successful in obtaining, for the sum of 6011. 3e. 4.1., the whole remaining interest of the Alpois bach Mining Company, which had been working on a most limited scale in the lb hittichen district, but had obtained rich silver ores, some specimens of which, when assayed, yielded 6,870 ounces to the ton. To this mine (which out of respect to the late chairman they called the Wheal Cop ' per mine) the board directed their operations, and shortly came upon a small pocket of very rich silver ore, some of which was smelted together with what remained in the hands of the Alpoiabacb company, and was included in the price paid aa purchase money for their interest. The die. turbed state of Europe had recently induced the directors to concentrate their operations to three mines. A vacancy in the board of directors bad been caused by the death of Mr. Capper, which the directors bad tilled up by the election of Mr. Ashvrell ; the directors had also added to their number by the election of Sir W. biagnay to their board ; both appointments were left for the meeting to confirm. The report was adopted, and the new directors duly confirmed in their appointments, which concluded the proceedings.

A. Kinnaird in the chair.

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.-Yester day, a meeting of the Board of Directors of the above insti tution was held at the committee rooms, in Paterneeter raw. The report was highly satisfactory, the funds rapidly increasing. During the past year, real has been bestowed upon six retail, and twelve booksellers' assistants, and three widows of each of those classes to the amount of 2621. 151. 4d. live persons included in the above statement being perma nent annuitants, making a total, einee 1837, of nearly 1,3001. thus distributed. The whole expense of the institu tion during that period has not averaged more than 801. per annum. There are now on the books 476 members. VA wards of 1,0001. has been added to the permanent fund during the year, which renehes shove 17,0001. In connexion with this institution, it will be remembered that a " retreat," situate at Abbots Langley, for the reception of old and I decayed members of the trade, was opened in 1846. AGAIt-TOWN RAGGED SCROOLB.-Yeetertlay, an annual meeting of the friends of this institution was held at the new vestry-rooms, St. Pancras-road. Lord Ashley pre sided, and in opening the proceedings observed that the . ragged schaols were peculiarly adapted to the times in which we live, when the class for which they were instituted have increased to so considerable an amount. The children of that class were of so peculiar a character-so wanting in education and moral culture-that if ten years were allowed to go by without the introduction of some check upon their wild and lawless habits it would be found very difficult to curb them-more difficult, indeed, than to deal with a legion a North American savages. Recent events had shown the necessity of attending to the education in early youth of cleesealwho otherwise might eventually prove dangerous to society, and he hoped to in duce a conviction of that fact in mother place. It was essen tial that the schools should be multiplied as much as possible, ' and he enjoined all present to aid, to the best of their ability, in the promotion of that object.-The Secretary read the re port of the committee, who described the origin of the school, which owed its establishment to the suggestion of Mr. Gent, the assistant secretary to the ragged school union. The school was first opened in a shed only ten feet wide by thirty long, on the 7th of December, 1845, for the accommodation of 60 children. In the course of 1846 and 1817, the number of children attending greatly increased, and it was found ne cessary to erect a new building, the first stone of which was laid nu the Bth of August, 1847. The total number of children admitted since the school was first opened vete-685; being 370 boys and 315 girls. About one hundred now at tended on Sunday mornings • in the afternoon the average attendance was 2o6 ; and in the evening, 50. The commit tee considered that if a few more regular teachers could be obtained there was little doubt that, at least, twice the num ber of children might be instructed. The children are cha rscterised by both poverty and ignorance. Several on being absent have been found to be in prison ; and many are well known to the . police, of whose services the teachers had during the past winter been obliged to avail themselves seve ral times to preserve order outside during the time of teach ing. The children had generally expressed a desire for Christian instruction, and had in many cases subscribed small sums for bibles, which were sold at sixpence each, and by this means about 60 bibles and 20 testaments had been circulated in the ' neighbourhood. The total cost of the new building was 2481. 13s. 7d., towards which sum 22.5/. 12s. 8.1. had been received, leaving 231. Os. lid. doe to the treasurer; which sum they trusted to the liberality of the meeting to supply. Siace the first January last, when the new room was tint opened, 118 children had been admitted, the greatest num ber present at arty one time being 86. The teacher who conduct& the school duly qualified herself by train' ing in the normal school of the Home and Colonial Infant &hool So ciety, Oray's-inn-road. The committee were anxious to pro ceed with the industrial branches of instruction, but for that purpose separate funds were necessary. The report was adopted, and the committee appointed for the ensuing year. The Iter. Mr. Clark, Mr. Joseph Payne, and 'several other gentlemen spoke in behalf of the institution, and resolutions a furtherance of its objects were adopted by the meeting. CHEVALIER CARL JOHAN SCHONHERR, the cele brate , entomologist, died at his estate, Sparresiter, in Sweden, en the 28th ult., from a fit of apoplexy, to the 76th year of hie age. Re was a Royal Councillor of Commerce, Knight Commander of the Royal Swedish Order of Wan, Knight of the Polar Star, Member of the Royal Society of Stockholm, of the Entomological Society of London, and of numerous °du r learned societies at home and abroad. THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION wail on Wednesday evening opened fora private view of the scientific wonders collected for the amusement of the public. During the recess the whole interior has been reno vated, and a most important addition made in the shape of a large and well-proportioned theatre, to be dedi cated to scientific recreations. The assembled visitors were amused by • lecture on the structure and functions of in sects by Mr. Goadby, illustrated by • powerful oxy-hydrogen microscope ; whilst in the smaller theatre Dr. Ryan dilated en the philosophic mysteries of the breakfast table. Another attraction was a seri, s of dissolving views illustrative of scenes in the Hely Land. Various curiosities were scat tered in profusion over the various departments, and the Polytechnic Institution may be fairly recommended to the notice of the sight-seekers who are likely to be scattered over the metropolis during the approaching holidays. THE DEATHS IN LONDON during tae week ending April 15, numbered 1,047, being 104 above the average. This excessive mortality appears to be chiefly caused by the preva lence of scarlatina, hooping-cough, measles, and diarrhoea. The number of births during the week was 1,240. The mean temperature 44 deg. 4 min.

INQUESTS, YESTERDAY. --SUICIDE Or A SPECIAL CONSTABLE IN BOW-STREET POLICE STATION.—By Mr. Bedford, at Evans's Hotel, Covent-garden, touching the death of George Charles Thomas Barrier, who committed suicide on Monday last in one of the cells attached to Bow street police-station. The father of the deceased described his son to have been of a very irritable temper and subject to violent pains in the head. When excited his mind fre quently wandered, and he would sometimes fall down in a fit and remain insensible for • considerable period after the exhibition of any passionate feeling. During the late ex citement he had been sworn in as a special constable, and having through his activity apprehended two or three bad characters he had become known to the police. Mr. C. J. Smith, police surgeon, who had been called to see de ceased on Monday evening, said he found pulsation had ceased though the body was quite warm. The usual meats of restoring suepended animation were resorted to, but with out effect. There was the mark of a ligature round the throat, and witness had no hesitation in secri bin his death to hanging. The gaoler at Bow-street Police Court said he took charge of the deceased. He was about to lock him up in • cell with two or three other prisoners, but the deceased begged to be placed in a cell by himself, and this was done. Before the door was locked deceased coked for a messenger to send to his father in Great Queen street. Witness sent • man to him who received his instructions and brought au answer back in about a quarter of an hour. On going to deliver the message the deceased was found hanging by his black silk handkerchief from a wire guard put up in front of the iron bars in the window of the cell. This guard was put up ex pressly to prevent prisoners attempting to hang themselves from the iron bars, and it had hitherto been considered im possible to insert anything between its interstices. The de ceased had effected it by rolling up one end of his handkerchief into a very small compass, and then clipping it into a knot. Verdict—" Temporary insanity. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BCC/LIM/11AM PALACE: By Mr. Be dford, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Richard Waterton. The deceased was a potman at a public-house in Pimlico, and had been supplying the workmen employed at Buckingham Palace with beer. Tuts lay afternoon last he bad been supplying the workmen employed at the top of the new front wing of the building with beer ; he hail descended to the first story, when, instead of descending to the bottom by the ordinary staircase, he went to the end of the building, and was in the act of going down an unfinished well stair case, when he slipped, and there being no banisters he fell to the bottom, a depth of forty feet. He was picked up in a senseless state, and conveyed to the above insthution ; but the injuries he had received were so extensive that he died early on the following morning. The immediate cause of death was an extensive fracture of the skull and lacera tion of the brain. Verdict, " Accidental Death." IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 18. In your leading article of Tuesday, you pass a de served panegyric on the very Rev. Dr. M'Enery, and hope that his example will he followed by the catholic clergy in diverting the minds of their flocks from ab stract phantoms to measutes of practical usefulness. By a singular coincidence, on the day your article appeared, another address of Dr. M'Enery was pub lished in the Kerry Examiner. It is addressed to " the poorer classes of the Roman catholics of the parish of Tralee;" but the true and elevated senti ments it contains are universally applicable, and the circulation of such a document throughout the land must be beneficial. Never were the groundless hopes of insurrectionary violence more elo quently and unsparingly exposed. He lays the case fairly and fully betore the abettors of rebellion, and shows the fearful odds against wl.ich they would have to combat. On one side the absence of organisation, discipline, arms, and the munitions of war ; on the other, all the experience, strength, and military resources of a powerful empire. As for re liance on the defection of the army, " I believe, and fervently hope," says the rev. gentleman, " that few Roman catholics in her Majesty's service would be found so base or so wicked ae to sell theit names to shame, their religion to contempt, and their immortal souls to God's enduring anger, by committing the hideous crime of perjury. There is no power on earth capable of dispensing or absolving the soldier from his sworn allegiance, or to exempt him from falling into a damnable sin by deserting from the cause which he has solemnly sworn to defend." He tells the people of the disastrous consequences of revolt—carnage, orphanage, famine and pesti lence, the rain of property and credit, immora lity, selfishness, cruelty, and violence. He warns them against the consequences of civil war— which must necessarily assume a religious aspect, and thus aggravate its horrors a hundredfold. He puts them on their guard against the " vain and restless individuals " who would give over their country to anarchy and themselves to slaughter. But while strenuously and eloquently counselling order and peace, the rev. gentleman is not averse to a steady agitation for such measures as the legislature ran grant. He requires comprehensive laws to teach the landlords of Ireland that their duties and rights are correlative, an enlarged franchise, an increase of re presentatives, and the general development of the resources of the country—subjects of " real and honest legislation," which would truly bring prosperity to Ireland. If all the catholic clergy were animated with the same lofty and independent spirit as the parish priest of Tralee there would be no fear for the violation of public order. The members of the Repeal Association who at tended the some have, on more mature reflection, withdrawn the hand of fraternity. Better sense re turned with the cooling of their enthusiasm. At s meeting of the repeal committee yesterday a resolu tion was unanimously adopted in which the soiree section declare that they attended at Music Hall merely to compliment Smith O'Brien, and not to es pouse the principles of the confederation. The accounts from Mayo are as usual very painful. Several deaths from destitution are recorded in the local journals, and one unhappy man was found dead with the masticated, or hali-Masticated, grass in 'oils mouth. An attack, partially successful, had been made by some of the peasantry on a large nurilber of carts proceeding between Castle and Wcattrat, laden with meal and flour. , ADDRESS OF THE Riff. DB.

Beside s, I believe and fervently hope that few Roman catholic@ in her Majee ty's service would be found so base or so wicked as to sell their names to shame, their religion to contempt, and their immortal souls to God's enduring anger by committing the hideous crime of perjury. There is no power on earth capa ble of dispensing with the oath taken by any of these parties, able to absolve the soldier from his sworn allegiance, or to exempt him from felling into a damnable sin by de serting from the cause which ha has solemnly sworn to de fend. Should the deserting soldier be as free from every other sin as one of those pure spirits who stand before the throne of God, and die with that single sin of esedury on his soul, never would be enter into the kiagdom of God,or enjoy a moment's :emotion from unspeakable suffering. Cold, hanger, and utter destitution would be the portion of the misguided people engaged in a rebellion—.XlCllllTO slaughter in the open country—agriculture would be neglected—the crops burned in the fields or tran.pled under the hoof of the war hone—myriads of orphans and widows would roam through the desolate land seeking that food which did not exist—the veered edifice consecrated to the service of the Most High would become a smouldering ruin— the unobtrusive retreat of piety, purity, and education would become the barracks of a licentious soldiery—property would be squandered by the most reckless miscreants in thought!. ss riot—the banks would become insolvent—the helpless inmates of poorhouses would crawl out from their asylums seeking that sustenance which could not be afforded to them, and dying by thousands on the roadsides—the ear of man would be closed against the cries of his suffering fellow man—morality would perish, and selfishness, cruelty and violence would reign universally—and the overwhelming power of union, wealth, and disciplined strength, would ex tinguish the times of an abortive rebellion in the blood of the misguided people. This picture is not overcharged. It would become an awful reality. Then would not the attempt, by the instrumentality of a rebellion, be foolish in the ex treme?" The rev. gentleman then briefly traces the causes which hare contributed to the misery of Ireland. On the one aide, neglect and misgovernment; on the other, distrust and disaffection. England relied on penal laws—lreland sought a remedy is insane rebellions, which involved the country in countless sufferings. An ardent and imaginative people listened to an empiric, and neglected the gradual end infallible means of improvement. After stating the policy which the people should now adopt in seeking for political reforms, of which he is the moat strenuous advocate, the rev. gentleman proceeds : " But let me suppose that a rising of the people against the sovereign were to take place on a large scale— how and when would that most desirable improve ment take place? The present generation would peas away before the Irish would even presume to enter tain the question again. The population would be cut down by the edge of the sword, by famine, the constant companion of civil war, and by pestilence, the twin sister of hunger. fhe loss of human life would be found to exceed by many thousands any calculations made even by the greatest alarmist. It would be a civil war, therefore a strug. gle abounding in horrors ; and these horrors would be egaravated a hundred-fold, for it would become a religious war. lam satisfied that the English are at the present time more estranged from the Irish people than they have been for many years. The English, as individuals, have acted nobly by us for the last two years. But a few Irish journals, and a small number of restless and vain men, pandering to the worst passions of the lowest and most ignorant of the people, have taken on themselves to return contumely, in gratitude, and hatred, for the beneficent acts of those noble-minded individuals. The wreckers of the north, whose hands have with difficulty for years been kept from the throats of their Roman catholic neighbours, would cheerfully enter on a crusade to the south; nor would I en gage for their observance of the laws of war between civilised nations. The whole power and strength of the British na tion would be put in requisition, and a blow sufficiently heavy struck to crush the Irish people for the next fifty years. I may be told that the liberal journals, the watchful sentinels of the Irish nation—that the glorious and eloquent orators who stand forward to denounce the cruel Saxon, and to shed Irish blood for fatherland—speak with hope, eacouragement, and confidence of the issue of the contest. My dear friends, attach no credit to their assertions—confide not in their pro mises—be not so helplessly credulous as to imagine that they are in earnest. The journalist who would urge you on to em bark on an insane, ruinous, and unequal struggle,wishes to con tinue and to increase the circulation of his journal : he looks for praise and profit, and thoee are his fatherland. The orator who would encourage you in the path of ruin, seeks with a craving appetite for applause. Let this, however evanescent, be conferred on him, he seldom cares what evils may befall his deluded hearers. An outbreak would in evitably prevent for a very long period the enactment of those salutary measures. It would consign, very probably, I hundreds of thousands of di ff erent ages to • premature grave. It would kindle anew the unhallowed fires of reli gious rancour—it would perpetuate distrust, estrangement, and mutual aversion between both countries, and it would leave Ireland in her misery and degradation. Will any man, then, be so weak as to doubt that a rebellion would be ruinous to the country ?" The rcv. gentleman then reviews the present distressed and distontented state of the country, amt impresses on the legislature the necessity of timely and practical interference. The poor law, without employment, he says, will still fur ther depress the people ; and if the Irish landlords shun their duties, the law must compel their ob-ervance. Go vernment, too, should be mere liberal in the means of af fording employment to the " millions of strong, moral, and hard-working men who :-re tautly to give their labour." The r, v. gentleman concludes with the following forcible passage : "It is truly a humiliating reflection that in our dear and suffering country men could be found so unnatural, so selfish, so unpatriotic, as to urge our noble and confiding people to adopt proceedings which would largely increase their misery, and consign to death in the field, to strangulation at the gallows, or to a dishonoured grave in a penal settlement, those whom the famine and the plague of the two last years have spared! My dear friends, the advocates of guilty cosines are sordid, selfish men—they are false and cowardly advisers. For a little money, fur a miserable ephemeral applause, they would in crease your present suffering, eley would p.unge n country too deeply suffering before into anarchy and ruin, they would perpetuate your suffering for many years yet to come, and they would close the gate against the improve ment, tranquillity and prosperity of Ireland. Then, have I not a right firmly, fearlessly and moat truly, to say, that an abortive outbreak, and it would be literally abortive, would, must, px, pregnant with long and incalculable misery to ow native land ? Then, your sacred duty, your interest both for this world and the neat, your love et country, and your hopes of prosperity fur your native land, point out a plain, sure, and honourable course. If you be tempted by the apostle of re bellion, consign him into the hands of the police—preserve your loyalty to your beloved Queen invinlate—organise a constitutional agitation to obtain good laws fur Ireland, to remove every remnant of formir penal statutes, to increase the number of your representstises, to enlarge the consti tuency, to profitably employ the people, to make religion no test for cherishing one religionist and neglecting the other, to make the laws the same for England and Ireland, to make the union a reality, to bring the artificial means of supporting the people to this country, to promote charity, affection, and confidence between the Celt and Saxon, and to amalgams- - all into a single, loyal, and united people." SCOTLAND. Aat Egrmo of the CHARTISTS of EDINBURGH was held last evening (Thursday) to hear delegates from the convention. The chair was occupied by Mr. Graves, who expi eased his gratification that t heir cause was now commanding public attention. Mr. Ernest Jones addressed the meeting, and in a speech of some length contended that the object of the chartists was the amelioration of social grievances, and concluded by advising the people to procure arms, which he said every man had a right to possess, that he might repel any attack made upon him. Dr. Hunter then rose to reply, but, on entering into sonic details respecting his electton as a delegate, encountered great opposition, and was ultimately compelled, after a scene of great confusion, to resume his seat. The meeting, with this exception, passed off very quietly, and the city is perfectly quiet and peaceable. The Ragged School system is telling gradually in Edinburgh. During the three months ending March, 1848, the commitments to jail of boys thirteen years of age and under, was .50 per cent. less than in the corresponding period of the previous year, a result which the governor of the prison believes to be attri butable to these institutions. The cost of a boy in the ragged school is 3/. per annum • in the Edinburgh local prim), 111. ; and in the Perth general prison, 17d. The Flax-Growing Society of Scotland are prose cw.ing their vocation with some energy. They have procured the services of Mr. Stewart, one of the in structors of the Irish Flax Society,. wh) is at present in Aberdeen, ready to give advice in all stages of the cultivation of this new branch of Scotch industry. A meeting of electors was held in Paisley on the 14th inst., the Provost presiding, when the following resolutions were passed: • • • That this meeting is of opinion, that the legislation of this country, by the several monet.dy oats of parlionient a hich have been passed during the last 3tl years, has had the effect of ogitrunlising the moneyed interest at the exywrise or the commercial and ilide•trlUM classes of the community; and that the continuation of an tuqust and unequal system of oppressive taxation, whi h these closeix are totally unable longer to sustain, is certain to be productive of still more fearful con sequences. In explanation, the speaker referred thwhat he considered to be the injustice of the several acts of parliament relative to the currency of the country, and to the improved position of the fundholder, the tithe-receiver, the placeman, and the pensioner, and, in point of fact, all parties who had their incomes fixed during the French war. With regard to the fundholder he held that the aavantages had been enormous —during the time that most of the national debt was con tracted, the price of funds did not average more than 60 per cent., so that every person who lent 601. to the government, got a guarantee that this 601. should stand for 1001., although only 500,000,0001. sterling was received by the govern ment. In this way they had bound the nation to pay interest upon 800,000,0001. But that was not all, for since the ter mination of the war ie,veral acts of parliament had been passed, whereby this money had been so much increased in value, that 1001. would now purchase as much food as 2001. would have done when the money was burrowed, and it would now purchase as much manufactured goods as 4001. would have done at the same period. It was true that the manufacturing classes were benefited by the cheapening of provisions, and that the agricultural population were bene fited by the cheapening of manufactures ; hut in both cases the wages of these classes had been reduced in nearly the same proportion as the different commodities had been in which they dealt, so that these clue-es were now in a worse position atter 33 years of peace than they had been during she French war. It must be evident to every one that the wealth of the fundholder, the tithe receiver, the placeman, and pensioner, and every party whose income had been fixed during the war, had been enormously increased, and that certainly at the exPense of the other classes of the ct morn nity. lie held the opihi,n that these partite ought to be made to pay a very large proportion of the taxes of the country—in fact something equivalent to the amount of be nefit which they have denved from the undue advantages which the legislature had bestowed upou them. The subsequent resolutions were: That the trade of the country, generally, has been in a depressed condition for the last le months, in the manufacturing districts par ticularly. Labour has been but partially obtained and poorly remu nerated, sod the working clteeea are reduced to a most melancholy and heart-rending conditiun, The owners of fixed property have bad to sustain a great reduction in the amount of their income, while the vGlue of their property is de remotest to a serious extent; and the losses sustained by people in iiusneus, from bankruptcies, and depre ciation of their stoc p kin unpreeedt•nted in umoutit. That the trade of Paisley, being entire yof a fancy nature, of peat cane to the country, but readily affected by internal depression, has bran plunged into a much worse state than any other town in the Lint/d Tbe poor rates here have been =mewl to an extent never previously equalled in Scotland ; while such is the poverty 01 several thousands of the population, that for the last eighteen mouths th.l have had to subsist upon a meagre allowance deleil out in charity. That this meeting is of opinion that their and other grievance+ under which we suffer will never be radically removed until the country is Inure generally repre sented in the legislature, and that the government should no longer refuse an alteration of tne trauchise, along with on equal distribution of electoral district. A petition conformable to these views was ordered to be sent to parliament, and it was also agreed that an address should be sent to Mr. ?fume, " for his noble efforts in opposing the estravagout expeuditme of the present and former governments."

Nlaej of the tenantry being in t a.y circumstances, were enabled to rent two or more holdings; those on which they did not reside being termed lad farms. Thin practice, coupled with the large size of the farms, had been carried to so,* au extent that wide districta of country were in a great measure depopulated. The duke has now, however, determined to put a stop to this system, and at the recent let of his Selkirk. hire lands, all those tenants who did not personally reside received notice to quit. The same rule will shortly be adopted in the adja cent counties of Dumfries and Itelburgh, when the present leases expire. TIE 84V1N09 Basfx.s.—The Cork Reporter explains, very satisfactorily, that it is not the small depositors who are withdrawing the money from the savings banks, com paratively few holders are of the humbler classes—they are principally persons in retail trade, and these persons find it more profitable now to purchase at present quotations, 81 or 82 stock with deposits made when the funds were at 92 and 95 ; and hence the run upon the savings banks, which led to such unnecessary remarks, verging on alarm. In proof of this 1 the editor of the Cork &porter miss he is acquainted o ith the 1 name of a family the different membenof which have given , notice for withdrawing not less than 400 in one week. The whole deposits in the Cork savings bank amount is about 350,0001., of which not more than 68,0001. belongs to the working classes. The Tralee savings bank still excites much attention, and suggests the necessity of additional legislation to secure poor depositors against fraud. It appears the trus tees did not require of Mr. Lynch the securities enjoined by law, which is considered sufficient to charge them with " gross and wilful negligence," and thus render them re sponsible. There is grievous hardship on every tide. Mr. Pratt, the arbitrator under the act, is to be in Tralee to-day, to institute an inquiry.
