THE OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. The Earl of RODEN had only • short time since left the disturbed part of Ireland; and their lordships would not therefore be surprised that he felt impressed with the duty of applying to ministers to know their Mentions with re feree* to the lamentable state of that country. He re ferred particularly to the circumstances connected with the moieties of Loath, Moitaglian, Armagh, and Down, when a series of the most cruel acts were being perpetrated. lie would rot go into details, as he should probably shortly bring the whole subject of the state of Ireland under their karlships coosulerstion. It was not a confederacy of the few, but almost or the whole population. Many of them were ready to join in the commission of the most horrid nine, but he believed that by far the greatest number wore amine under • system of intimidation. Such was the Mato of intimidation among those who moved Is the same class of life with himielf that n gentleness meld p out without arm. is his pocket.

C Mr. T.

Lord SEYMOUR. said the parliamentary expenses had been paid out of funds applicable to such payments. (A V THE EXPULSION OF PROTESTANT CLERGYMEN FROM PESTU.

Ile would Make in quiry of his noble friend the Foreign Secretary, sad would answer the hon. and learned gentleman on a future day if be would repeat the question. Mr. ANSTE Y would put the question again on Thunday. TENANT RiouT. Mr. 8. CRAWFORD then tae, pursuant to notice, to mote for leave to introduce a bill to provide for the better securing end regulating the custom of tenant right, as prep : tised in the province of Ulster, and to secure compensation to improving tenants who may not make claim under the said cotton, and as limit the power of eviction in certain cans. ' The hon. member said that this was a subject which had created much interest and excitement in Ireland. Many public meetings had been held, and the draft of his bill had been submitted to the people at most of them, and he was in a condition to state that it had met with general ap proval. It was called a tenant right bill, but it eqsally provided for the rights of the landlord, which were any thing but secure in many parts of Ireland at the pre sent moment. (Hear, hear.) The objects of the pre sent bill were two. First, to give security by law foe the tenant right of Ulster ; and secondly, to give com pensation for improvements in districts where that tenant right did not eaist. (So we understood the hon. member, who was often inaudible.) '1 he government bill of last '1 session provided that no compensation should be given, ex- ' eept the landlord had previously consented to the improve ments, and that provision had rendered the bill valueless. He proposed by this bill that when tenants were removed, improvements should be fairly valued, and that full compen sation should be given fur these improvements. Hisobjeet was to give effect to a proposition of Lord Stanley's, in 1848, the aim of which was, that the tenant might be able to demand fall compensation for improvement. 112 e preamble of the hill stated the absence of improvements by the landlord in Ire land, the necessity of tenant right, and the prevailing ism ' surety of both landlord and tenant arising out of the pre sent state of the law. The main principles of the remainder were security to tenant right where it existed or was eus ternary, rid full compensation to the tenants fur improve ments when that right dal not exist. He proposed that the amount of compensation should be settled by arbitrator appoiated by beth parties. After one or two further obser maim to M. member concluded by again reading the tamed Ids neatioa, and asking for leave to bring in the bill. Sir O. ORZY stated that there was no intention oa the part of the government to offer any obstruction to the in trodoction of the bill, but if, as he believed, it was of the same nature as those bills on the subject which had been so often introduced 'by the hon. gentleman and rejected by large majorities of the house, he could not hold out any hope et is prima* being adopted on the second reading. The bseemrshie gentleman had now, as on how matriana, urged that tenants should be allowed oompemallea he impemaments made by them on land irreepoethe of the aseeeat of rent paid. This must Meads ea arbitrary determination by act of parliament of the ammumt of rent to be paid by the tenants ; but the at tempts maim by the Ma. gentleman himself and by successive government% mem& that it won impossible to remedy these evils by mile d patihment.

After a great deal of heat had been upon the subject, he (the noble lord) had an interview with some gentlemen who had put forward the rights of the tenants most loudly in Ireland, and went through the several propositions which they had made.

The wean, whoa they have tspropose any legislation apes it, was one of ma _ke (liear, hat.) The state of mind betwesa the parties lay at the bottom of as wade tartan. (Haar, hear.) In England there were many oases of estates in which, though there was so law, the landlord and tenant hod jointly erected farm-buildings, in full confidence on the part of the tenant that his bridled would not seek to take any advantage et bins In Scotland more generallit was regarded lathe Ban of • commercial tran sac tion between ' the two pada The tenant had his lease for 19 or 21 I year., mad made Ms calculations that during that time ho shoal mop the "Mk of any improvement he might make.

(Hear, hear.) He mistimed oily one difficulty, but there would be thousands if, =sad of making these questions of ami cable errangemest belsooss the parties, they put them to Ighe mit enema the pasalae words of the act. Besides, in • eseatey like when litigation was looked on as a seat edpostion--(a aighj—each party would insist on the ✓alnaerot points, sad =stead of improving the land, they woad be involving themselves in continual disputer. (Cheese.) In this sale Of ibis's, therefore, he (the noble lord) declared, at the sad of last version, that he was not disposed to introduce any bill on the subject, and it still appeared to him that he should not aware any good ob oes by doing so. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, it was asked, it be weal sot in the present state and temper of the people of Iceland introduce any measure, why did be not say the* be would it ? Now, sae hon. gentleman had said that he could not exactly make out what the pro- Milwas, and surely then it was not reasonable to expect e a resist its introduction ? He would put it to the bon. gesdamea what would be the effect, if the Irish people mad say, that not only had the government refused to in traday any bill themselves, but they would not even allow the istraduction of a bill, respecting the provi-ions of which they were ignorant? (Hear, hear.) Nothing could be calculated to produce greater discontent, and therefore, though be did not expect any measure to which be could agree, yet it might contain some useful clauses that might form the foundation of a future bill. (liar, hear.) la conclusion, he could not agree to the principle of estab lishing the noun right throughout the country. (Cheers.) Mr. KEOGH charged Lord J. Russell with obliviousness of the opinion enunciated by him in 1840, when agitation existed in !reload to a much greater extent than now— that protection should he provided for the tenant by the legislature,--and attributed his change of purpose to the eonvictios that the popularity he was courting at that period was now hopelessly lost. It was not intended by the pre seat bill to give the right of compensation, unless the fact of improvement laving been made was established, which we in effect the principle of the bill brought in some ses sions ago, and in which the present government expressed theirganieseenoe. With regard to the disturbances un happily existing in Ireland, no man could condemn them more strongly than he did, and be believed the law as it stood, if properly administered, we sufficient to repress I them; but not so whilst everything in that country was made, and every appointment given, with a view to party purposes. r. BRIGHT—who had been referred to by Mr. Osborne as having a measure prepared on the subject—stated that, having inquired into the truth both on the spot and in the reports of the Devon commiaion, he had embodied his opi nions in the shape of a few clauses, which, though approved of by many members on both sides of the house, had not met with the approval of the Irish members, and therefore he bad not introdeced them as a bill. He should support the introduction of Mr. 8. Crawford's measure, and also its second reading, as affirming the necessity of legislation on the subject. He was not surprised that the government bill had failed, for it would have been impracticable, if passed, in consequence of its complexity. But the fact was that there were several Irish proprietors in the cabinet who were alarmed at any measure which proposed to withdraw from Irish proprietors the title—at the expira tion of the tenancy—to that capital which had been placed on the land by the tenant; and for which, in justice, the tenant ought to be compensated. Mr WHITESIDR thought Mr. Bight far surpassed in wisdom Bolon or Lycurgis, if he in three weeks had managed to make himself man of a question which had =sealed the most talented stasemen of the country for years. It we. the duty of the government to take up the subject, and endeavour to leia upon it. After some observations hat fir. AOLION•lf and Mr. Lsxxaaa, Leave we given to bring in lie bill. RAILWAYS IN =LAND. Mr. M'CULLAOH moved he have to bring in a bill to enable greed juries in Ireland in swede eases to make pre sentments in aid of railways.

THERM are two fleas' of 4cane,even.whatis the pleasant and the agreeable ; the unpleasant and the disagreeable—and of the latter Earl GRIT'S die putoh dismissing Sir HARRY Sserrtt from the go vernment of the Cape of Good Hope, is a perfect specimen. It fully explain. the Duke • eulogium on Sir llAuev's military merits. and Lord LONDON DERRY'S indignation that a mere civilian should treat an old soldier so mourvily. No one--except perhaps those two distinguished peers—doubts that the time had come for the re call of Sir liseav Ssitrit. Wu all admire his long and brilliant career; we all know ha courage and gallantry ; and we shall never forget the glory he achieved on the well fought field of Aliwal ; for it is part and parcel of our national renown. We cannot be too grateful to him for the skill with which he assisted Lords oouoil and HARDINGE in repelling the Sikh invasion of India. It was because of his former experience of Kaffir wars, and of his Indian fame, that Lord GREY (with tho applause of the country) recommended .Sir HARRY SMITH to the crown for the government of the Cape of Good Hope. In that colony Sir HARRY has risked a constitution, quarrelled with the colonists and got the nation into another Kaffir war without being at all able to get us out of it. Under these circumstances, his recall became, not a matter of choice, but of necessity. But Sir HARRY is an old soldier who in his time " hath done the state some service ;" and even in withdrawing him, he was entitled to kindly expres sions and to civil soothing words. Not a radical in the colony would intentionally have hurt his feelings, not a boy in the streets would willingly give him offence. The proper way to recall him was civilly, courteously, and politely to intimate that ho had failed in terminatifig the war which had occupied him— very much, perhaps, on account of the lack of troops. The act itself, put it iu its gentlest, kindest form, was censure and rebuke enough, without adding to it the agony of reproaches and the severity of accu sations. Hut no. The Colonial-office, which had fostered and encouraged, endorsed and supported every inch of Sir HARRY'S proceedings up to the 31st December, 1831—which had repulsed and defied all criticism on his policy, and treated with contempt all remarks on his campaign—which was committed and recommitted to all that he had done—this Colo nial-office, which by its own conduct on the convict question had first jeopardised the success of of the old man's administration- —the department, on the 14th of January, 1832, fearful and apprehen sive of the responsibility which parliament might im pose on it, coolly and deliberately prepares a bill of indictment against its own officer, addresses him in terms of contumely and disgrace, accumulating its own faults and errors upon his head ; treats him with all the indignity official censure can convey; and,—unfairly contrasting him and his conduct with that of Lieut.- Governor rise in Natal,—coarsely and vindictively dismisses him. With his recall the public will be satisfied, hut of the terms and the manlier in which the act was completed by Earl GREY, no gentleman or man of feel ing can approve. It was idle to suppose Sir HARRY SKIT!! could be kept doing little or nothing but writing home self complacent despatches about a war that was costing England at the rate of 120,0001. a month, and entailing disgrace upon her arms. But for Earl GREY, who knew his great age when he appointed him—who was responsible for hia appoint ment—who had defended his whole career there— to write an insulting letter of ignominious dis missal is " too bad,"—and a great deal " too bad." And when the country compares this final treatment of Sir HARRY SMITH—who has no rein tieing in office, and who has risen from the ranks,—by a SECRETARY of STATE, who, vrten recalling Lord TORRINGTON, did so in an applaudatory despatch, the public will feel, and feel deeply, that Lord GREY has one measure of justice for kinsmen of the whig house of BEDFORD, another and a very different one for ordinary men. Yet this is the statesman who is " indignant" with the press for calling M. BONAPARTE a tyrant, and designating his rule of France ab solutism. The Qexem—Lord JOHN Russ ELL has stated—never saw this despatch. Of that we may be quite certain. Bet her MAJESTY, he added, does not require to bo acquainted with the contents of Colonial-office docu ments. This, we think, is very much to be regretted; it is not complimentary to Englishmen, who are extending the dominions of the British crown in every part of the globe, to hear that tho British court takes more interest in the gossip and the squab bles of every petty German court, than in colonial pro pees and welfare. It is not calculated to stimulate and keep alive colonial loyalty, to learn that the events of a disastrous war are only generally communicated to royalty. It is not encouraging to the army to know that Earl GREY can readily dismiss a general without taking the assent of the Cluxxx to the un gracious language in which he does it. In disclosing to parliament the Queues minute of August, 1850, Lord JoHN Russet', opened a sub ject for much discussion of a kind calculated to tell rather against•he court, and to encourage the old feeling that the reigning family should not meddle too much in the foreign policy of the government. Having, however, made that Minute public, further disclosures, such as that sought for by Mr. J. WILLIAMS, were unavoidable ; and they are not calculated to increase public respect for the in ternal working of our executive system. It was not wise or prudent to risk soca revelations, at a time when the 't Grenville Papers" and Lord ALBEMARLE'S work are producing impressions unfavourable to the active interference of royalty in the public business of the country. Lord Joun RUSSELL has excited • suspicion that will long survive even his 'd onut' stream.

The whim between the Minister of the Interior sod the Minister of Police, which was one of the main causes of M. de Moray's retirement, continues between M. de Persigmy and M. de Maupas. The former feels that the Importance of his department is completely eclipsed by the attributions of the new ministry. The prefects are shorn of their authority in the presence of M. de Maupaa's inspectors-gene ral; and the withdrawal of the press, the theatres, and the prisons from the sphere of the Minister of the Interior lops him down to a level with the Mi- Miner of Public Works, or any other secondary de partmi nt. As to how this struggle is destined to sad various opinions prevaiL Some say that the Ministry of Police will again be suppressed, or if not suppressed, that its attributions will be annexed to the Interior, under M. de Persigny. Others imagine that de Maupas will carry the day; and that M. de Persigny will take the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Whatever truth there may be in these reports the .shies referred to is positively certain. The electoral tactics of the opposition go on but slowly . . But the list of the candidates of the govern ment is preparing with much activity. Only a few of UNSO have already transpired. Thum a telegraphic des patch to the prefect of the Indre-et-Loire recommends fo the suffrages of the electors of Tours. M. Gouin, formerly deputy and minister of Louis Philippe, a financial notability in the late Assembly, who was reporter of the budget of 1851. M. de Itichemont is recommended as the candidate fur Loches in the same department, and M. de Flavigny for Chinon. In the department of the Oisc the government candidates are : for Beauvais, tho Duke de Mouchy, member of the Legislative Assembly, a wealthy proprietor, greatly interested in railway questions: for Cler mont, M. de Plancy ; for Compiegne, M. Philibcrt Curial, son of General Curial. M. Lemairc, formerly deputy, and an Orleanist member of the late Assem bly, has announced the intention of appearing as independent candidate against M. Curial. I hear daily from the most authentic sources in dances of the overbearing intimidation of the govern ment to cow the least show of opposition in the elections. I know that a member of the late Assent- My of the constitutional party announced to the pre bet of his department that he should offer himself as as independent candidate. The prefect, starting at the word "independent," said that ho only knew of two sorts of candidature, that of the government, and that of the opposition. If the person who ad dressed him was not the former, as ho supposed he was, the prefect having received no intimation from head-quarters to that effect, he must be ranked as a member of the opposition. In that case he begged leave to give him It word of friendly advice, which was to withdraw his candidature, as otherwise his 18 ccusins, who held different offices in the depart ment, would be all dismissed without exception. For obvious reasons I suppress the names of the parties concerned, but I can positively guarantee the truth of the story. Dupin is mentioned as the independent candidate for the Nievre, and Vatimesnil for the Pure. • i The President s greatly absorbed at the present ' moment, and more inaccessible than ever. Hence it is believed that he is employed upon some important piece of legislation, which will shortly appear in the shape of a decree. During the last day's a decree, settling the fate of the press, has been expected to appear ; but for some reason it hangs fire. A consultation of eminent juris•consults has been held upon the decree confiscating the Orleans pro perty. MM. Odilon Barret, Dufaux, Dupin Berrycr, and Vatimeescil, have drawn up a document embodying the opinions of the council held, but it has not been allowed to appear in print. Thegovern ment is said to be preparing a memorial on this sub ject through the hands of M. Duvergier, appointed advocate of the treasury in the place of M. Boinvil tiers. M. •Chaix d'F.stange is also mentioned as having had a finger in the composition of the latter document. The Conseil efEtat is to hold a sitting to-morrow, in order to invite the executive to fix a day for their installation. This is expected for the 15th or 20th. The presidents of the sections are said not to have been quite satisfied with their costumes. It is even said that they went yesterday to the Elyste, to re tknest that the silk embroidery which has been as signed to their coats might be exchanged for gold. The government has not yet intimated the degree of liberty, if any, which it intends to leave to inde pendent candidates for seats in the Corps Lfcgialatif The Constilulionnel and the Petrie are writing ela- borate articles to insist upon the importance of using all the means at the disposal of the go vernment to prevent the electors from being misled. All their arguments assume that the moss of the people have intelligence enough to know that they wish to be governed by Louis-Napoleon, but that if any less simple proposition should be submitted to them, there would besreat danger of their going astray. To vote by " Yes" or " No" to a revolu tionary question suddenly proposed to them, offering no alternative, is a task worthy of their sovereignty, and their judgment in such a case must be tak en t o be infallible. But when they are called upon coolly to decide whether A or B will be the best representa tive of their political interests, it is necessary that the central authority chosen by them in their haste should interfere to protect their minds from the influence of their neighbours. Cassagnac, this morn ing, complains that in every department there are a certain number of honourable, influential, and for the most part well-intentioned men, who take upon themselves the direction of political opinion in every town and village, and in this way they constitute a new feudalism, of which they are the barons. A more healthy natural political influence than that here deprecated is not easy to imagine. The object of a wise and honest government would be to extend and not to destroy such influence. Instead of that, the excessive centralisation so long admitted to be the curse of France, is to be carried to an unheard o extent. There is • marvellous inconsistency in the complaints now made of local influence with the reason given for abolishing the serials de lisle. It was said, with some truth, that when candidates were elected by lists containing several names, the electors often voted at the dictation of committees sitting in Paris, and did not know for whom they were voting. It was then convenient to argue that the honest peasant, when called upon in a limited electoral district to pronounce the name of the single candidate of his choice would naturally give his vote to some neighbour, whale social position and known character commanded his confidence. Now it is said that the elector must be warned lest his estimable neighbour should mislead his politics, and that for these he must look only to the fuglemen in Paris. From the pertinacity and hardihood with which these monstrous absurdities are advocated in the go vernment prints, I have little doubt that some mea sure is brewing which will make it impossible for any but government candidates to have • chance of emcees. There is always meaning in these articles. The system is to order certain writers to preach up particular measures, and then to adopt them as being billed for by public opinion. M. de Lamartine has addressed a letter to the Journal de Sai;ne-et-Loire, in which he expresses his intention to refuse any invitation to offer himself as a candidate for the legislative body. The sentence of deportation decreed against Marc Durnsiase and Greppo, ex-representatives, is com mutted to perpetual banishment. The three other representatives who were com prised in the sentence of r tii i ssortation, which has just been remitted, with to Messrs. ( Ireppo and Marc Dufraisee , were I. Lefton, now in the peon of St. Pelagic; M. Richardet, sick in the hospital of St. Louis; and M. Miot, who remains in one of the prisons of La Nievre. The appearance of M. do Morny in company with the President on a visit to the palace of the Corps Legislatif hail given rise to much comment, and per haps the report that M. de Morny is to be appointed president of the Legislative Body is due to this cir cumstance. The President of the Republic, accompanied by M. do Morny and one of his orderly officers, yester day . visited the works going o n at th e P a l ace o f t h e Legislative Body. Gale's/natal says: vend changes appeared to be definitively decided on in the internal arrangements of th e sa ll e . The tribune will be removed, and on the spot will be placed the seats intended for the commissioners of the go vernment. These mats, which will have their backs towards the bureau of the President and the secretaries, will face the semi-circular seats occupied by the members of the Assembly, and, from the m t. being raimd, the voices of persona spe aking from th I will be heard as well as when they spoke from the tribune, and they will is their turn be able to hear perfectly well any remarks made by the members of the Chamber. in. old Chamber was capable of containing about 600 member s , The room has been now decreased by suppressing one row airiest+ and enlarging the space of the others. The Prinl. dent afterwards proceeded to the new hotel of the min tit of Foreign Affairs, which he visited in every part. A decree of the President of the Republic concedes the property of the old Sorbonne and its buildings and dependencies to the city o f P ar i s, on conditiou that they shall for ever be appropriated to the Am. demy of Paris, and to the Faculties of Tlieohrre . 4 .11 Science, and Letters. Another decree regulates the conditions on which pupils, Bonn of soldiers, and others, may obtain "bourses " r. gratuitous «lio cation) in the public schools nod un arr4ti of the Mi. nister of Public Instruction regulates the examilia• tions they are to undergo previous to adniissiots.

A letter of that date gives, however, the following details respecting the Queen, and the legal proceedings against the as,,ssia Merino : It appears that the sinister countenance of the re. gicide left a strong impression on the mind of the Queen, and for • long time she suff,red from a hind of nightmare which distui bed her repose; this pain ful reeling has entirely disappeared with the it'll. To-day, for the first time since the attack, • smile has re-appeared on her lips. She received in her arms sad fondly embraced the little Princess Royal, who thrives re markably. It is expected that the next bulletin will announce her Majesty to be perfectly out of danger, sad this news will be received with enthusiasm by all the pop lotion of Madrid. The ministers respectfully announced to the Queen, who at different times demanded that the cul prit should be pardoned, that public indignation would itself execute justice on the wretch if the ut most severity of the law was not inflicted on him. The King, who since the event has suffered the greatest grief, was bled this morning. Queen Maris Christina is constantly at the bedside of her august daughter. The Minister of Justice has published the fol lowing report According u it results from despatches which have emanated from the President of the Territorial Tribunal, the charge instituted against Manuel Martin Me rino, on account of the horrible attempt of the 2nd, having been received, the documents were sent to the reporter to fir the period of the trial. The documents were soon after re turned to the counsel of the prisoner, who demanded a fresh examination into the intellectual state of Merino. On this proposition being rejected, the prisoner was ordered to brought before the Territorial Tribunal this morn ing." In consequence of the confirmation by this tribunal of the sentence' of the first judges, Merino has already undergoae the first part of his sentence, that of civil deem dation. On one of the balconies of the prison of the Sile dro, where he is confined, and in presence of an immense crowd, the Bishop of Majorca proceeded to the degradation of the criminal, by taking from his dress as a priest, and caring the disappearance of the tonsure. Up to the time of his degradation the regicide had preserved great calmness, or it should rather be tailed extraordinary insolence, pre tending that he bad no other object in attacking the Queen but to render a service to the human race. The physicians have declared that Merino is perfectly sane. Since his fate has been made known to him he has been much cast down. It is stated that the prisoner directed the attention of the president of the tribunal to three flower pots which were in the kitchen of his apartment, and in one of which were buried 60 gold quadruples (5,760 fr.), and which, according to some accounts, he wished to be sent to his relations, and according to others, distributed to the poor. All the military precautions which haul been adopted at the time of this at tempt have been discontinued, and The capital is perfectly tranquil. Thousands of persons Huck to the churches to return thanks for the preservation of her Majesty. The news of the regicidal attempt is said to have caused the most painful impression at Seville, Sarragoesa, Burgos, Val ladolid, Valencia, and other cities." ITALY. LOMBARDY.

GERMANY. BERLIN, Fla. 7. The scheme which the Prussian government seems at the present moment to favour, as a substitute for the existing constitutional form, is as follows: — Firstly, a senate sitting permanently, with the right of legislation under royal sanction, and with full con trol over the administration ; the senate to be com posed of the royal princes and mediatised dignita ries, the ministers, high officials, and military corn menders, great landowners, to bo invested with an hereditary peerage, and men of eminence in science, art, commerce, or manufactures, who may be nomi nated at the option of the crown to the senatorship for life, the nobility, as such, not forming an clement in this supreme organ of the state power; second'''. a restoration of the provincial diets, to assemble an nually for the promotion chiefly of local and admi nistrative interests; thirdly, a united diet to assemble every three years, with the right of petitioning Om crown, reporting on matters submitted to it by the government, and of sanctioning or re jecting laws for altering the public burdens and the rights of person or property ; fourthly, the communes, circles, and departments are to have elective colleges, on which all admini,trative business, as far as possible, is to devolve, " in order to satisfy the popular desire for taking part in public affairs ;" but of course these colleges will be so cau tiously trammelled that they merely bear the respon sibility, while the officials keep the whole manage ment of public acts. This schemo is nothing morn M
