Oats were Is. per qr. dearer, and the supply small. There were but few samples of Barley offering, but prices were no higher than last week. Beans and Peas in retail demand, without alteration in value. SAFFRON WALDEN, May 13.-The Wheat market re markably dull ; few sales effected, and those at a red Is. per uction of full 2.. per qr.

The appear ance of the crops is greatly improved, and there is now every appear nice of great abandance. The arrivals coastwise dueller the Wet k have been 460 qrs. Oats and 240 sacks of Flour. The supply of Wheat and other grain from the farmers is today very small, for which there was a brisk retuil demand, mid the whole of the Wheat was soon cleared, at about last week's rates. The best samples of Wheat are worth 50e. to 525. ; goad average qualities, 475. to 495. ; and inferior sorts, 44e. to 46e. per qr. Malting Barley is very slow sale ; the prices nominally are 31s. to 325. Beans, at 36e. to 385., and grey Pea% at 345. to 368., are only retail sale. Oats con tinue in fair demand at 21s. to 28s. The demand for sill kinds of Flour is regular, and prices are steady ; south country is elverged 37e. to 38e, and herne.made 3.35. to 365. per sack; American, 2es. to 305.; and Indian Meal, 165. to 17e. per barrel. WARMINATER MARKET, May 13.-The demand for for Wheat war fully equal to the supply. Top prices for best qualities of white, 485.; red, ; oderate, 425. to 445. • poor sawlike, 40s. Barley told a m t a reduction of Is. di. per qr. Oats, from Gd. to Is. higher, especially in best PoLnds. In Beans and Peas no further diminution. WINCHESTER, May 13.-Wheat experienced a further reduction of 21. per qr. ; best heavy kinds were selling at from 535. to Ms.; and other samples of moderate quality at 495. to Ms. per qr. Barley and Oats were quoted at Is. per qr. dearer: white Oats, 295. ; Scotch, 265.; good sweet feed, 21s. per qr. Beans and leas were each looking up. Busi ness was done, although limited, at higher prices. Wiseecit, May 13.-With but moderate supplies of grain in this market the Wheat trade to-day is firmer, and ant ad vance of Is. per qr. generally obtained on the best quliies. The confined dry parching weather causes a good demand for Oats and Beans, and each article L. qr qr. Prices to the growers: Wheat, tine, white, 6111'.. to 62115., 46e. to 495. per qr. ; red, 435. to 47a. ; good runs, 60Ibs. to 611h5., white, 455. to 475. ; red, 445. to 46e.; common, 57110. to 591b5., white, 42e. to 41s ; red, 40s. to 425.

A speculative demand for foreign, but holders being unwing to sell, little or nothing was doe. Barley, Bean ; B and Oats commanded better prices, but as sellers were disinclined to do business excepting at greatly increased rates, the Liles made were too trifling to report a contitmed advance, but every description of grain had a decidedly upward tendency. May 13.-We have only a short supply of all kinds of grain at this day's market, and there appears little inclination, either on the part of buyers or sellers, o do busi ness. Wheat Las been sold at the full priees o f t ] ast week. Oats and Beans bare made rather more money. In other articles no alteration. The following aro the quo quotations : Wheat, white, 515. to 545. per imp. qr.; red, 48s. to 515. Barley, malting, 321. to 345.: grinding, 295. to 301. Beans, 375. ta 41s. Rye, 365. to 38s.

Duette, May 12.-Our supplies continue very moderate, and we have little change to notice in the value of any ar ticle since this day week. Wheat barely, but ()ats fully maintained previous terms. Indian Corn was in good de mand, and 6d. to le. per qr. higher. Other things remain without variation.

BELFAST, May 13.-We have had a continuance of very fine weather, since our last report, and we hear that the crops are looking well. Formers are still busy finishing the sow ing of spring cora and planting Potatoes, of which, learn, a very large beeeelt 'h has already been planted. Our supplies are small, and prices arc much about the same as last quoted. Indian Cora is in better demand, but no improvement in price is obtainable, the Liverpool market not being so firm by - last report. Flaxseed, Dutch, 60s. to 65.. per h Riga, 31s. to 355. per barrel.

Come, May 13. -Although the quantity of Wheat offer ing is small, the price of the article is scarcely supported. For prepared Wheat, of which (as indeed of all other grain) stocks are low, holders are asking beyond its relative value, and this checks business. Barley remains without change. The samples of Oats arriving are taken freely, at nearly is the rates of last week. In the prepared article there better feeling, and more inquiry, at an improvement on the rates of last week, free-on-board price to-day for blacks being Its. rel. per barrel. The Fleur trade remes same as last report, the coarser qualities alone being in so y great demand. Indian Corn, with a moderate consumptive sale, has receded in value, the estreme value of prime Oalatz being now 71. 10s. per ton. Ind ian Corn Meal is a slow Bale at a similar decline. The general aspect of the trade is that of quiet. Limeene, May 13.-The weather continues very hot, with high dry winds . The land is a good deal parched for the 'spring grain plants. Potatoes sown hea l t hy are well over ground, and give. promise of a luxuriant, crop. The farmers are still very busy laying them down. A good deal of Oats and Barley will also be laid down. Very l i ttle grain came in since our last, but prices were fully realised. The demand for Indian Corn has been very active, as also for Indian Meal: both improved in price 10s. per ton. No ar rivals. Holders are not anxious to tell, and the article is scarce. Wheat, red, Mild. ; white, 170. Oats, 10d. Barley, 13d. per it. Indian Corn, Oalatz, 81.53. ; 'brill, 81. American, 81. Indian Meal, 81. 10s. to Si. 15s. per ton WATERFORD, May 13.-Our market has been very scantly supplied with country Corn throughout the week, and the only transactions which have taken place have been in grsnaried parcels. Wheat, owing to the splendid weather, and greatly improved appearance of the growing crops, is much neglected, and must be noted fully 2s. per barrel cheaper than on Saturday last. Barley meets a steady demand at previous rates, and Oats are in good request at an advance of fully 6d. to 941. per barrel. Indian Corn sells slowly at a further decline of 6d. per barrel. The trade in Flour is far from brisk, and, where sales are forced, prices yield. Present prices of Orain, Flour, &c.: Undricd Wheat, millers', per 20 stone, 25s.

KIRKCALDY, May 13.-We hove had another week of fine weather; the young Wheat !Vika well, and we have seldom seen a better braid of spring Corn than that of this year. Farmers have extended the breadth of potatoes, and they have been got in under favourable circumstances. At our country markets, this week, we continue to have very small supplies of all kinds of grain, for which there was a good demand, at improved prices. Here, to-day, we had small supplies of Barley and Oats, but fair of Wheat, Oats a quick sale, at rid. per qr. advance; Wheat and Barley sold slowly, without any change in value. Wheat, per qr., 435. to 515. Barley, 28s. to 31s. Oats, 20e. to 245. 6d. Oatmeal, per bag of 28014., 334. For Pkittieday's markt/3 see kit page. elusively of the very lowest classes. As they marched they vociferated " Vivo la Pologne," a proceeded thus to the Place de la Madeleine, where they placed in the hands of M. Vavin, one of the representatives of Paris, a petition in ft your of the Poles. It was said that altrorepentent also took place in the Marais and the Quartier St. Martin, but they committed no breach of order ; ne vertheless the appearance of the procession above mentioned created a momentary alarm in the neigh bourhood of the chamber, and the " rappel " was beaten in the quarter of the Tuileries and the Made leine, and the national guard called out. No serious consequenms, however, ensued. Yesterday evening, between 9 and 11 o'clock, se veral meetings of the representatives took place in the several bureaux. The object of these was the choice of candidates for the commission of the constitution. This choice has given rise to some warm debates, generally directed to the previous political conduct of the proposed candidates. Many lists were handed about. On some we saw the names of MM. Corme nin, lAmennsis Jean lteynaud, Armand Marrast, Itucliez, Barthelemy St. Hilaire, Louis Blanc, Corbon and Peupin (ouvriers), Pascal Do wd, Crepu and Lefranc (writers Martinw), Leicht..rnberger (Mayo r of Strasbur g ),(of Strasburg), liac, Dupont, Vingert ; and Boujean (ad vocates). A great number of ex-deputies of the left' were on almost all the lists. In general the new' members expressed a wish to be assisted by those whose information and experience would be of great advantage in a work of such importance and diftl culty. The names of the ex-deputies that were most generally on the lists were MM. I lupin, Odillon Barrot, Vivien, Remumat, de Tocqueville, and Gustave de Beaumont. We have also seen on some few lists the names of MM. Lacordaire, Montalembert, and Con siderant. A private letter states that great indignation was felt in the department of the Aude, of which M. liarba is one of the representatives, when the pro- I clamat ion of the Societe des Molts de l'ltomme, which was placarded in Paris with his sanction, became known. A pet.tion was immediately got up, and most numerously signed, calling on him to resign hie', poet as representative, as the electors of the Aude were deceived when they gave him their suffrages. Yesterday, about a hundred working engineers of the Northern Railway presented themselves at eight in the morning at the station at Paris, and declared to the chiefs of the establishment that if they were not allowed to work an addi tional hour p er day, with an increase of salary, they would tear up the rails. Information of this having been given to the national guard of the 3rd legion, a detachment was march to the station, and it was shortly after joined by a detachment of the garde mobile. Before these forces arrived the men had withdrawn. Yesterday the men suspended their work, and assembled at the station of La Chapelle, to await the decision of the directors. We copy the following from the l'resse: Yesterday evening the inauguration of the " Club des Femmes" took place in the ancient " Concert Spectacle." An immense crowd of eurieux el eurieuges were in attend ance long before opening the doors. There was much ditliculty in obtaining silence when the proceedings com menced, not from the fair members themselves, but from the ungallant men who should have been auditors, and who, if l they went expecting some ridiculous exhibition, must have been disappointed.—The " Presideote," after long and vain efforts, at length succeeded in obtaining silence, aud, what is more, applause. She explained the object of the club to be, the organisation of the labour of women, not in taking for its principle that which had been attempted with so little success as to the labour of men, but in adopting, as bases, els. terhood and the development of the capacity and skill of ' each member. This allusion to the absurd theories of 31. Louis Blanc was received with unanimous applause. The club has obtained from the government the promise of places as workshops, of which two will be opened this week. Every woman having no particular trade will gain one franc a day, and work will be given according to ability. The others will gain more or less according to their abilities and industry. Every month the profits will be divided, and every year prizes will be given to the most industrious. The club will provide a cooking place, at which every member will be provided with a dinner of soup, meat, vegetables, and bread at four sous. Tne presi dente was loudly applauded, 'and the plan of the club much approved. The only incident that gave birth to a little mer riment was an observation of the fair speaker that they wished to treat men as their brothers and friends, and that they regarded them as their equals. The Droit gives a very different account of the af fair. It says : It would be impassible to describe the spectacle presented b the Club des Femmes on Thursday' evening, under the pr y esidency of the Citoyenne N—. NVe canuot give an idea of the tumult, the disorder, the uproar which took place. There was nothing but cries, hisses, vixiferations, reeking, crushing, even hghting. The windows and the gloms were smashed, but no speaker of either sex could ob tain a hearing, not even the Abbe Chatel, not even the Citoyenne N—. The sitting at length broke up in the midst of universal laughter and was postponed to another day. But men arc not te b'e admitted another time. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. SATCItI).tV. There wee much agitation at the approaches to the Pelois Bourbon, and it was rumoured that a body of 12,000 (metiers intended to force an entry into the assembly, to de r themselves at the bar a petition in favour of Poland. This report from minute to minute gained greater con sistency ankl confirmation. The influence of this was felt in the Sidle die Pas Perdus," but it was soon allayed by an authentic report that only about 1,200 persons had come in procession along the Boulevards and to the Place de la Madeleine, and had there, without any disorder, delivered the petition to M. Vavin, one of the representatives of Paris. The sitting was opened at ten minutes past one. Id. BAVOUX presented a petition in favour of an interven tion, armed or unarmed, in favour of Italy and Poland. M. VAIN also presented the petition which had been entrusted to him. The order of the day was then taken—the discussion on the rules for resfulating the business of the chambers. M. its ex, the reporter of the committee, said that he had to bring before the assembly a proposition made by several members, that those deputies who had been elected for several departments should make their election before the 15th, and that new elections should be made. The commis sion proposed that the deputies should make their election before the 20th,and in default of this new elections should be made before sth June M. DURAND R OMOR ANTIN suggested the necessity of deciding the question of incompatibilities first. A debate en sued on the question, and it was ultimately decided that a decision must be given before the 15th. A delicate question then arose on the subject of an article in the project of the commission, which gives the president a right to convoke the electoral colleges. M. Ftocox, Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, de- I Glared it to be a government question. lie thought that if I the president could give an order to the Minister of the In terior, he will nave it in his power to do the same to all the other:ministers. What then would become of the power of the executive commission It would be annulled, deferefd• The article was votes. The assembly then continued the debate on its reguls- I tions. The proposal for instituting permanent committees for the examination of questions submitted to the assembly, was adopted after a long debate, in the midst of which M. Recurt came in to announce the postponement till the 21st of the national fete, in order that time might be afforded to the delegates from the departments' to arrive in Paris. The assembly then decided that there should be a commit tee charged with seeking means for ameliorating the posi tion of the working classes. The commission is already named to form part of the committee. The assembly then voted the creation of a committee of legislation, civil and cri minal, a committee of worship, a committee of foreign affairs, and a committee of public instruction.

The second a n d third parties presented their arms at the at onel and hi s fellow-officers, giving viva* for liberty and the republic, and being anewered by a general unsheathing of sw o rd s , nowe a the rebels discharged their blunderbusses and pistols, wounding Lloret, commander of battalion, and an ensign. A half-pay progresista captain in plain clothes, named, I be. hese, Moreno, who headed the insurgent., holding ki n postale against the colonel's breast, asked him his name. This being identical with the family appellation of the poli te al chief, exasperated the republicans, who wanted to kilt him, but were restrained by Moreno, who merely dema n d e d his swor d. Meantime two - battalions had cleared out of th e barrack, and stood with the people in full rev It, j o ini in is the revolutionary cries. The officer., with the colonel at their head, addressed the most moving remonstrances to t ern, arid implored them to return to their duty in vain; and, when all their efforts had failed, went clown in a body, with the colours of the regiment, accompanied by go, eoldiers who remained true to them, to the Puerta del 801, where they presented themselves before the capt•in•general, and begirt d some dangerous post where they might retrieve the honour of the regiment. The insurgents, instead of marching etvight upon o n Puerta del Sul, where they might, by a coup de main, hays gut possession of the pestoffice, turned off from the Foes. carrel. at the fountain at the top of the Montera, and gained the Plaza Mayor by a roundabout march through bye. streets. In the Fueneareal they met a party of the went police, one of whom discharged his blond- muss at the fore most, and was immediately killed. flaring this circuitous march many of the revolted soldiers, finding their numbers not at all increased by groups of the people, as they ad been led to expect, took occasion to desert, favoured by the doubtful light. One party is said to have gone to the house of General Narvaex to solicit pardon. Another was more vigorously employed in disarming the guard in front of the ealacio del Cungreso. The rest established a grout post en the Plesuele de la Villa, in the Calle Mayor, and, taking possession of the Plaza Mayor, occupied its avenues and at. cedes (which are just like Covent-garden Piste t all mud). Similar arcades, bordering the Calle Ciudad Itoeriao, extend from the north-west corner of the Plus obliquely to the Platinu in the Calle Mayor, which were also pocupied. The estimate of the government organ of ilia ~w hole number of the insurgents, soldiers, and posanos con centrated upon these points, which is stated at 300, is evi dently false. 1.000 is much nearer the mark; but from what I can hear the remnant of the two battalions must have amounted nearly to that number, exelusive of the people. In this position the insurgents awaited the attack of the go. v.:mount for more than an hour without seeing an enemy ; • on the other hand, hard by, a new handful of civilian joined them, although two secret depots bad been opened for the purpose of distributing arms. In fact the patrols had been on the alert all night dispersing groups, wherever they were formed, instantaneously, and taking prisohers many who circulated with arena under their cloaks. Not even en attempt seems to have been made at forming barricades-. which seems at first the more inexplicable ste the revolted soldiers bad so much time given them to strengthen them position. But they were restrained from adore ing such loom defences by the knowledge that artillery would be brought to bear on them. When one considers that these whiten were commanded by a few sergeants and a retired pro. gresista captain, the desperate resistance they offered to the rest of the garrison is wonderful. Their own colonel and officers, with their I ate comrades, march. d on them through the Calle Bottros, a little street entering the north-east corner of the Plaza from the Calle Mayor. I The renewed appeals of these were received with discharger of musketry, which drove them back to the Calle Meyer, where they took refuge in Count Ognate's palace; directing from the windows a deadly fire upon all paisanos that pa. - by way of retrieving the honour of the regiment of Espagus. Ihe post of the revolted in Plazuela de la Villa, after suffer ing repeated charges of cavalry fell back spin the studs between the Plautus and Plaza Mayor. The Duke d Ahumada was beaten back through the Bots-ros, u the officers of the Espagna had been. The first entry into the Plaza was effected by a brave young captain of the Cur dotes, of Bus, at the head of his troop. The revolted, feeling deeply their want of officers, cried out to the cagt to come over to them, and they would win hia.; to which invitation he responded by shouting " Viva k Reins!" and giving the word of command to fire. The hottest of the tight was from six to half past six. The cavalry were repeatedly driven back through Calle Ciudad Rodrigo, into the Calle Mayor. A battery of three bras guns was at length established in this street, which drove the rebels from behind the granite piers of the arcades, back into the Plaza. The doors of the houses WM shattered, and the government troops took possession of them. It was about a quarter to seven, when, the fire of the rev olted being still maintained with vigour, Brigadier Ler. sandi marched, sword in hand, at the head of a column of engineers, into the Plass. An adjutant beside him held up a white handkerchief, which he waved as a 'lsrael to the in. 1 surgents to cease firing. For a moment the shower of balls &c. Lersandi dismounted from his wound d horse, ha. poured from behind the piers, and from the houses, shops, rangu. d the mutineers with passionate gesticulations nate than words, and perceiving a trumpeter of the revolted rest him, he ran after him and embraced him. lie pm. mised life and pardon to such as surrendered.

WE must own that we cannot comprehend the respect which many persons in this country, of libe ral minds too, pay to NARVAY.Z. In doing so, they make Spain an exception to all other countries, and whilst they hail the party of progress and liberalism elsewhere, they think Spaniards to be so unruly and unreasonable as only to be managed by a ruthless, a corrupt, and an intriguing soldier. It would seem, indeed, that whilst we looked upon other countries with the eyes of unbiassed philanthropy, we always borrowed those of stockholders and speculators in order to lock at Spain, and help us to form a judgment as to it; and that those who lead the 'nglish public think more of the prices at the Madrid Boise than of the rights or contentment of the Spanish people. Let us consider who are the malcontents of Spain, who are those opposed to the military government of NARVAEZ. They are all the citizen class, all the men of professions and education, with all of the lower class that have came to a sense of the national dig nity and of popular rights. Can any government in the world be carried on in a system of intimidation and hostility practised towards these classes? lmpos Bible. The idea of the governmert of NARV %EL succeeding in keeping quiet, restoring order, and per manently ruling, is the maddest that could .nter the mind of any one. Some months since it was upheld by the power of France it is now upheld simply by dame regiments, who will always be tampered with, and whose swords, cutting the people one day, will infallibly cut those who wield and employ tin In the next. The only possible way to save Spain from revolution was to have followed Mr. Ilt Lw ties advice, emaciated in the government the liberals possessing the con ' fidence of the people, liberals who have governed be fore, and governed without al wild, democratic lean ings, or subversive ideas. lut such rulers as NAIL v AEI and CDRISTIN t never can trust the middle class; they can only rule by despotism and military govern ment—a thing difficult enough with resources at command, with finances in a good state, and with the authority " that doth hedge a crown," to sanction arbitrary rule. But NARVAEZ has none of these ad vantages. His exchequer is empty. Ile has over drawn the bank till it has stopped cash payments ; and treasury bills have been issued to avert the inun dation and worthlessness of assignats. The Spaniards have thus all the ruinous results of revolution without one of its continent advantages. As to the Qv zes's authority and title, that merely exists on the condi tion of her governing constitutionally ; with NAR VAIZ really as a military dictator under her, the right of ISABELLA is avowedly inferior to that of the Conde de MONTEM4)I.IN. Nor is there a man in Spain, beyond the subalterns dependent on NARVAEZ who would not rally to t he le g itimist prince if 'NARVAEZ is to be permanently the represen tative of the constitution. Unfortunately for Spain, Mm Ts is not alone in the field. The French revolution of February has widely refounded in that country, and has awakened the dormant ideas of 1821 and 1822. A democratic party is rising up. NARVAEZ and CIIRDITINA, and the successive cabinets of the Moderados have ac quired and kept power in Madrid by means of the support of the Louis Philippist rulers of France. \Vhy should not thorough repub lican Spaniards attain and keep power in their own country by the support of the Republican Government of France? And let it be remembered, that the French Republicans of 1848 are not like the French revolutionists, whom Spain once knew and re pudiated. The French National Assembly instead of waging war against priests and religion, accepts and allies with them. It no lon g er shocks any one pepular prejudice; it repudiates conquest, upholds the sanctity of national and local independence, and thus puts forth the most formidable propagandism that ever invaded foreign countries. The only safety, the only bulwark against this tide of democracy which is rushing in on one side, whilst legitimacy beats in from the other, was for the Spanish Queen to have rallied to herd one the middle and educated classe s, those posse of pro perty, practising industry , and demanding • fair degree of constitutional freedom, independent of rude soldiers and corrupt courtiers. Mr. BuLwea's ad vice to CIIRIATINA and NARVAEZ was to seek safety in these supports. Unfortunately, the attitude we have long preserved with regard to Spain makes every counsel we give something very like dictation. And when the Spanish minister flung this advice in our minister's face, the public feeling here was to applaud hie spirit. Very just, if such conduct proceeded from a just spirit of pride and resentment. But it is now too well known, that the Spanish court and cabinet were led at that time , we will not say by what informants, to expect nothing less than a revolution in England ; and no where was the celebrated tenth of April looked to with more certainty of such a result than in Madrid. Such an event would have rendered the French Republic lords of the European ascendant, and SOTOMATOR'S note was written to pro pitiate them. Nay, so fearful was the NARVAEZ cabinet that the thundering reply to 131 . 1.wER would come too late to Paris, that SARTORIWI, the home minister, sent it off hurriedly to that capital, and had it inserted in the Prease. The trending away the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER from Madrid was another act of obsequiousness on the part of NARVAEZ to the French Provisional Government. Indeed, so convinced is the present Spanish cabinet that it can only exist by French support, that was ARMANI) HAREMS or M. CARET declared first consul of France, NARVAEZ would be the first to lick their feet. Ho would be much more inclined to them, than to conciliate or spare the blood of one liberal Spaniard. Against this contemptible , tyrannical, and anti- Spanish system of government the Spanish liberals unfortunately aro making separate and olated at tempts of revolution. One set of men get s up an in surrection, in which they bravely sacrifice them eaves. Another set suborns a regiment and ex poses it and themselves to destruction, instead of biding the time when the utter emptiness of the trea sury and depreciation of every substitute for money will leave the military unpaid, when they will all, to firnan, rise, to put down a g overnment at once the most unconstitutional, most corrupt, most sanguinary, and most upstart, ignorant, and imbecile, that ever yet disgraced the annals even of the Peninsula. THE dying MIRABEAII is Said to have exclaimed ,— " When I am gone they will know the value of me." The repeaters seem to be in a fair way of learning in a similar manner the worth of the singularly gifted leader whom they have lost. O'CoNNELL was, in deed, an arbitrary and often times an exacting master. ills love of power w himexhaustible confidence in himself rendered intolerant of oppo- their party. But no greater error can be conceived than that whereinto an impulsive contemporary has lately fallen when it exclaimed, in announcing the tumult and violence that took place at Limerick among There is no ending of re peal to be looked for " T in any or in many such events. Repeal did not originate with Messrs. O'BRIEN and Mtreirtu., and it will not cease or subside because they go out of vogue or get into prison. Repeal is the bitter unappeasible cry of just resentment at grievous and protracted wrong—social, political, and ecclesiastical. Call it inarticulate—incoherent —in sane—what you will ; the fact remains that it is a piercing and irrepressible cry of national misery and danger, and the testimony of history and of on-look ing nations declares that the danger and misery is, beyond utterance—real and profound. Repeal, as a project, is, we believe, a clumsy error. Nothing like the old Irish parliament could by any possibility be got together once more in College green ; and the metamorphosed legislature consisting, one chamber of Orange landlords, and the other of catholic tenants without tenure, would not hold together or work in amity with the legislature of Great Britain fur the ,pace of twelve calendar months. Repeal as a plan whether examined theoretically or practi rally, we cannot look upon as other than a delusion. But we are far indeed from thinking the cry for it, therefore, unmeaning or uneventful. That wavering, tumultuary, but ever-recurring shout of reproach and pain, will never end until one or other of two possible things happen—either that a v , olent and total disruption of the empire takes place, or that the present system of imperial rule is thoroughly and fundamentally changed. We must let the Irish manage their own affairs as much as possible. Worse than they are managed by us, it is clear that they cannot be. We must begin to take them at their word, regarding self-rule, both for their sake and for ours. l'oor law, public works, police, landlord and tenant —in heaven's name what fitness or capacity is there in our over-worked imperial legislature, to deal with these things here'? Let the Irish manage them as they pleases in their towns and counties, or in what- I ever manlier they think best ; let them get ample powers for the purpose, and let us h ear no more of local quarrels, jobs, or conflicting interests. Enough will s.ill remain fur imperial wisdom to occupy itself upon, of affairs common to both lands, and requiring to be dealt with for a common end. But no greater oon, we are persuaded, could be c onferred on English b and Scotch members of both houses of parliament than to be relieved from the incessant appeals to their igno rance and incompetence for the adjustment of local Irish business, which, to say the truth, can only be properly done in Ireland. OF the four measures of electoral reform contem plated by Mr. iii ME and his coadjutors in the House of Commons the re-distribution of the electoral dis tricts has most of novelty, and this alone would ensure a greater amount of active hostility to it on the part of sincere anti.reformers and hollow reformers than to any of the others. It is, moreover, a measure against which it is not difficult to excite a good deal of local and class jealousy. 'I . he Leeds Mere's, y has accordingly opened against this proposition with a portentous display of anti quarian lore. Mr. BAINES has discovered that our borough representation dates from the days of litmus DE Motereoirr, a position which, as it has no con ceivable bearing on the question, we have no call to dispute. But Mr. BAINES has further discovered that to the boroughs the commercial interest owe "the influence in the I louse of Commons which they have enjoyed for neatly six centuries." It may be doubted whether the commercial interest will be se riously alarmed by the danger of losing the influence which they possessed in the House of Commons in the years of grace 1348 or 1448; and, if they will take the trouble to examine narrowly the character of the existing borough representation, they may even ques tion whether they are materially indebted to it for the influence they at present enjoy. " Of the 658 members which constitute the House of Commone,"saye Mr. a t.Ex AN nen MACKAY, inn well timed pamphlet on " electoral districts," which fur mi nute and extensi ye statistical reiwarch and close analysis has rarely been surpassed, make a majority. The minority is 328. There are in the house 330 members returns d from all parts of the United King dom, by boroughs with an aggregate population of 3,127,000 persona ; the minority of 328 members re presenting the remainir.g 23,873,000 of the popula tion. • • • • The majority is oompoeed exclusively of the representatives of third class towns and small boroughs, including all those which are notoriously under the influence of the landlords. The minority re present all the counties and all the first-class cities and towns of the empire. • • • • It is a dangerous fallacy to suppose that the strength of the landed) interest in the house is limited to the 253 county members. That interest overlaps to a great extent 1 1 the borough majority in parliament; so much so, in deed, as to render it morally impossible, unless the representation is placed on a more rational and equitable basis, to prevent the landed interest, and through it the aristocracy of the country, from exer cising a preponderant influence in the Commons House of Parliament. ° The Lir expressed by the editor of the Leeds Mercury, that equal electoral districts would be the means of swamping the independent intelligent town voters, by submerging . them among ma jorities of rural voters, Is quite as ima ginary as his notion that the boroughs are Ow safeguards of the commercial interest. Political independence and intelligence are to be met with outside of parliamentary boroughs, just as ser vilism anu corruption are to be found within them. County constituency and rural constituency are not synonymous terms. AVe need only refer to the census of 1841 to establish this fact. The total population of Great Britain in that year was 18,636,981. Of this total no lees than 6,026,139 (within a trifle of one- THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1848. third of it) was concentrated in Middlesex, Stafford shire, Cheshire, Lancashire, the West Riding of York ltenfrewshire, and the county of stFhOiWifreerill: lAalanndtharmawk.hatticiicti;isnirvaillPagespuliastirreaotlfyilineellismcsall of the agricultural population. The householders in the towns and villages of these counties are almost to a man liberal ; and equal elec toral districts, with secret voting, would give from these counties an overwhelming independent majority. What is the prevailing characteristic of the population of these counties is also the characteristic of extensive portions of thaw counties through which the remain ing two-thirds of the aggregate population of England, \Vales, and Scotland are distributed. Birmingham and he suburban villages, those portions of the metropolis which extend into Kent and Surrey, the various mining districts, and many more, would contribute their quota to the independent and intelligent portion of th e electoral body. Nor can there be a grosser instance of what may be called provincial cockneyism than the assump tion that there is no independent thought o r intelli gence among the rural community. The argument of the Leeds Mercury, oven were it based upon facts, would amount simply to this, that by the present distribution of the electors into consti tuencies, the sentiments of the class to which the writer belongs have a preponderance in the legislature ; and that this state of affairs ought to he continued. Halle has been mistaken as to Ids facts. lie has indeed constructed two tables, to show that the borough repre sentatives carried the Irish policy of April, 1839, and the reform of the corn law. A similar table would have shown that they rejected the more equitable apportionment of the income tax. In the two first cases the borough members yielded what their masters could no longer refuse to popular opinion : in the third, they denied what their masters thought themselves still strong enough to withhold. Equal electoral districts would ensure to public opi nion its due weight in the Rouse of Commons, with out the mischievous necessity of first frightening the borough lords into good behaviour. Equal electoral districts would ensure a fair repre sentation of population and property. At present 330 members are returned by 180,1100 electors, and 3244 by 900,000. The disproportion of representa- 1 lives to electors is great, but not greater that the disproportion of representatives to property. I " The total annual value of the property assessed to England, in Ix4l, to the poor-rates, observes Mr. NI v. KAY, "was 59,000,000 f. I lalf of the property so rated is concentrated in the nine counties of Kent, I Lancaster, Lincoln, Middlesex, Somerset, Stafford, Surrey, \Varwick, and York. lneluding county and borough members, these counties have in all 161 re presentatives in parliament. rhe other half of the assessed property is distributed amongst the remain ing 31 counties, which return in all 310 members. The account then stands thus between them : The nine counties having 50 per cent. of the whole property, have 34 per cent. of the whole English representation, the 31 counties, with the other half of the property, having the remaining b 4 per cent. of the representation. Thus the representation of one-half of the whole rateable property of England, if pitted against the other, would be overborne by a majority of n o less than 140 votes. It is an important feature in the case, too, that seven out of the nine counties alluded to arc the chief seats of the manufacturing and com mercial enterprise of the country. The calculation is exclusive of the immense amount of machinery in the manufacturing counties, particularly in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Middlesex, which is not rated ; the value of the machinery in Lancashire alone being computed at twenty millions sterling. In all ques tions of taxation, therefore, it is obvious that the vast majority of the property of the country is at the mercy of the minority." The actual state of our representation therefore,-1 a state which must continue unimproved so long as the present unequal electoral districts are retained—is this. The representatives of a numerical minority of the constituency are a majority in the I louse of Com mons. The representatives of the owners of by far the smaller portion of the property of the constitu ences, are a majority in the I louse of Commons. No wonder, then, that we find laws made for the benefit of the minority; the taxes imposed so as to relieve the minority from their due share of the burden ; and sinecure places, and supernumerary appointments kept up to procure livelihoods fur the relations and dependents of the minority. If the people of England lay these things to heart, they will not be deterred from demanding equal elec toral districts by such miserable appeals to local and class jealousies as that made by the Leeds 3fereury, when it reminds them that this arrangement would increase the proportional number of metropolitan and Irish members. sition, or even of dissent . His rule of the popular ' party in Irelaud in this respect was fre quently felt to be oppressive; and it unquestionably aided in unfitting those who followed him for the ex ercise of the habitual duties of mutual concession without loss of individual independence, and of manly difference without open quarrel. Its ill effects of this kind are now perceptible.

They can neither forbear to bully or to embrace—to Lick or kiss—to insist tempestuously on minute con formities, or to fling . away coneietency altogether, when the humour seizes them. Permanent policy or plan they have none. Yesterday they were resolved never more to attend parliament, and whoever did so was a recreant and an enemy to repeal. To-day they are in:a wholly different mood, and intend to resume their places in the imperial senate. For months we have heard of the rival zeal of Confederation and Conciliation Halls to hasten the mumbling of the Convention of Three hundred, which in plain English means, and was meant to mean, the sum moning of an Irish parliament without the Queert's writ. And when, the other day, Lord CLAIM:- INN was credulous enough to believe that they were in earnest on the matter, and warn ingly intimated to the public at large that such things were in specific terms forbidden by the law, and there fore co uld not be, Mr., SMITH O'BRIEN promptly issued a counter-proclamation, which was duly puffed and extolled, calling upon the people to proceed forth with to the election of the threatened Three I f undred. No sooner, however, has a truce been made between him and the" little fat gentleman" whom he has so long com peted with for the agitatorial crown, than both agree to sink all further mention of the difficult and embar rassing topic ; and now, whoever asks any question about the Convention will be assailed as a marplot, or perchance a spy. While O'Cosisi ELL lived ho managed these things better. The inconsistencies of his course were neither few nor far between ; but then he was irresponsible, and people asked no questions ; or, if they did, his marvellous versatility and humour were ever at hand to cover seer the fault or to divert attention. When he desired to drop an inconvenient topic he was evr ready to seize upon another, and to handle it with e so much freshness and vigour as thoroughly to concentrate upon the new object the popular curiosity and isterest. But p oor Mr. O'BRIEN, and O'CoNNELL's poorer son, Mr. JOIIN, are as devoid of humour as of sagacity, and possess as little force as fun. There is not one good hearty laugh in either of them ; and as for an original idea, principle, or illustration, they know not whit these are. Ileum their powerlessness as leaden, and the feebleness of FRANCE. PARIS. SATVRTHLY. 6 P.M. M.
