With respect to the presentations at the Irish snort during the Queen's visit, it had been said that the precedence given to Anhhishop Crolly was quite a mistake. But the fart was that Bishop Crolly was dead at the time, and very sorry he (Mr. Napier) was to say so, for Bishop Crony was • very straightforward, honest, reepeeteble man, and no doubt, had he been alive now, much of the present trou ble would have been saved.

Tau DAT—Morning, 11E. gem Afternoon, 12b. O. To.amazow—lliorning, I2E. Smo Afternoon, 1211..;61a. LONDON, THURSD.4I, FEBRUARY 13. MR. Disn.tEu desires it to be understood that he will never preach any more charity sermons. His past experience has shown him the futility of such appeals on behalf of the wealthy and privileged classes. He feels ashamed of the office, and declares plainly he will never discharge its functions again. Well we are glad of it, and we cordially congra tulate 'both the country party and their chief at having consented to burn their political rags, and assume at last the garb and attitude of indepen dence. And we think it a good sound lesson in pub lic morals that has been thus taught. A lung favoured interest, finding itself suddenly deprived of its perquisites, and doubtless thereby exposed to great disadvantages, forgetting its own dignity and deny ing its own worth, takes to what Mr. SYDNEY IlEatultr was tempted to call "whining," and ask ing for compensation, commiseration, and, in fact, parliamentary alms. Instead of pity or consideration, this mendicant tone provokes only rebuke and scorn. Importunity is reiterated on the one side, and repulse is embittered. At length the unmanly tone of sup plication is laid aside and as equals and fellow labourers in the field of national industry the owners and occupiers of land authorise their spokesman to say fur them: "let bygones be bygones—let the name of protection be forgotten; all we want is a fair inquiryinto the comparative weight of our respective burdens and a more equitable distribution of the whole in future." _ _ . ..... Whatever amount of fiscal:advantage the agricul tural interest may eventuully.gain by the proceed ing, it is clear that they do much to get themselves out of the slough of despond. The very multiplicity and heterogeneity of the specifies enumerated as means of relief by Mr. Disitam.t, bespeak an altered state of feeling. The inveterate air of scepticism with which that accomplished political persfjleur offered one by one the motley contents of his budget, and the impartial readiness he professed to fling over board any one, two, or half-dozen of them, as circum stances might hereafter demand, in itself indieates how attenuated is the reliance of his followers on his ability to do much substantially for them. The new and varied demands seem rather to be put forward as a point of party honour—to furnish a decent ex cuse for giving up the contest. And in this spirit we do not wonder that many are upon our side dis posed to meet the proffer. Free trade is won; the victory is complete; the triumph as great as our hearts could wish. NVliat more do we want ? In this respect nothing but the signature of a final pacification, and recognition by all parties heretofore belligerent, of the new status quo. Unquestionably, it is a drawback on our satisfaction that this should have been so long deferred. While a disalkyted minority, how ever powerless to reverse the great fortunes of the field, appear in arms, our time and attention is liable to be diverted from more profitable thoughts to re pelling the vexatious though vain attacks of the defeated party. Duriug the last four sessions we have seen, night after night, nay, week after week, fruitlessly occupied in this miserable strife. We must do Mr. Disassu the justice to say that with him individually it has always seemed an unwelcome task—like a nephew's grief, on behalf of the family, at the funeral of a wicked old uncle, who, lie thinks, in his heart, had better have died long ago. But still the interminable obsequies had to be gone through over and over again, and still Items as much as his place was worth to miss upon any occasion playing the part of chief mourner. All that we have now a chance of getting rid of at last ' • and, in a voice as nearly resembling that of laughter as the member for Bucks is capable of, he sings invitingly, " Let us be gay!" But the terms: what is the sine qua non of conces sion on our side to be? In point of fact Mr. DPMAELI seems to have purposely offered every conceivable (to say nothing of some inconceivably absurd) bases for legislative negotiation. Some people wish for free labour as obtainable by the overthrow of the old law of settlement. Others want free capital as we might have it by certain modifications of the Bank Act of 1844. Mr. HERRIES has read us an ingenious "exercitation" in finance regarding the effects on prices of a five-shilling duty on corn; and Mr. CAYLEY is all but crazed on the subject of the malt tax. But for my own part, the orator seems to say, I want nothing in particular, save to have done with the endless squabble of which I am sick, about our lost protection: and all I insist upon is to get something, it signifies little what, to show as the consideration for crying quits and being done with the whole concern. We have already expressed our willingness to take the gentleman at his word, and fairly to go into the investigation with him with a sincere view to try and come to terms. We have squandered enough of time in seeing the whigs thrice slay the slain of PEEL. We want to get on with other work, and to see parliament occupied with positive progress, not merely re-arguing settled questions. There may be , items of local expenditure which there 19 no insur !mountable reason against having placed among simi lot charges on the consolidated fund ; and as for the extreme measure of what is termed a national rate, j we believe if the country gentlemen had the option of taking it to-morrow, they would not accept it. So in like manner, as regards our monetary ' system. We have never joined with the monopolist' of credit and capital ; nor should we object to seeing a less artificial system adopted in lieu of that so lmuch extolled but so little appreciated scheme of 1844. We agree very much with Mr. DISRAELI'S pmtulate, if there be free trade in produce let us have free trade in the means of production. Labour' as one of those means requires undoubtedly to be set free from territorial adscription ; but so likewise does the soil itself. No bondage is closer than that in which land itself is held. No benefit in monies numbered as well as in every social and moral rela tion could possibly be greater than that which both owners and occupiers would receive from the legal emancipation of the soil. But we sun recognise nothing in common between these ideas and those grotesque and marvellous nos. trams which the tory leader, for some inscrutable reason, thought proper to ventilate during his speech of Tuesday night about sugar manufactured from , beet-root, and tobacco grown at home. lie might Dust as well talk of the wrongs we suffer from the inhabitants of the Gold Coast because parliament won't stint us to the use of palm oil expressed from the costly branches that might be reared in our English hot-houses.

FRANCE. PARIS, WIMNPADAY Evintlxn, The event of the day is the appointment of tho bureau of the Assembly. M. Lupin was re-elected president, by 371 votes, out of 383; 'Mathieu de la Drome, leader of the moderate section of the Moun tain, obtained 71 ; General Lamoricierv, 61; M. Ilas rock, 38; Michel de Itour;.;rts, leader of the ultra socialist section of t IteMoun min, 16. . LONG practice has certainly made our landowners adepts in the art of making what the Scotch call "a puir month." To listen to them in this day, which themselves admit to be one of general pros petite, one might fancy that they alone remained, like flit:oN''s fleece, dry and adust, while every thing around was moistened with fertilising dew. They will have it that every body is prosperous but themselves, and that the well-being of all their neighbours is, in their unhappy condition, very aggra vating. They exclaim, with Shylock, that there are no tears but of their shedding, no sighs but those which they heave. There ate, however, many things which tend to make people rather sceptical as to the truth of their " pitiful story." m ..'ALTER SCOTT says of Rashkigh atbablitilms, with his limp, round shoulders, and bull neck, that his me'odious voice would have ren dered him irresistible to a blind mistress. Our mal content squires hare a gentle melancholy in their whine that would infallibly move all men to tom passion, but their portly persons and jolly Colla tenances undo the charm. And though they vow that they have not a sixpence to bliss themselves with, whenever they move the clinking of money is heard in their pockets. Our means are decreasing is their latest complaint, while the wealth of every other class is on the in crease, and yet we are the most heavily-taxed por tion of the community. Have their means really de creased of late years? Has their load of taxation continued unabated? A return of the amounts of property assessed under schedule A. of the property and income tax, in various years, from 1814 to 1848, tells a different story. The aggregate value of real property has in-' creased immensely during that period, among other means by the creation of new kinds of real property entirely unknown in its earlier years. The value of railway property, non-existent in 1814, was esti mated in 1842 at 2,417.810/. ; in 1843 at 14,316/. ; in 1848 at 3,790,386/. At pre-' sent its value must be considerably greater. Now of this new species of real property eoma ratively little is held by the lords the land. its owners take upon them a share of taxes which were formerly borne by the landowners alone. They bear their fair proportion of the property tax, and the squires have taken good care that they shall bear much more than their fair proportion of the local rates. Our Atlases no longer carry the lend of schedule A on their lonely and unaided shoulders; ' sturdy fellow burden-beariws have come to their aid. Nor is this all. If they do not hold largely of this new real property, they have been considerable gainers by its creation, though instead of having any claim to a share in the honour of its invention, they have done much to thwart its growth. How much have the owners of these railways been obliged to pay to the lords of the soil baize they could get ground whereon to construct them? If Mr. GEORGE HUDSON were to speak out as frankly as a gentleman once nearly as notorious, M. Vinoun, he could tell strange tales of the coat at which landlord opposition to rail ways has often been bought off. Of every hundred pounds that the cnterpnsc of railway promoters has called into existence a heavy per ventage has 'Mind its way into landowning pockets. When the squire taunts the shareholder with the amount of his gains, the latter may fairly answer him as Alstaf did 'Pistol --"Did'st thou not participate? had st thou not eighteeniwnce?"

Heckert-au did not obtain a majority, so that the same bureau has been reappointed, with the exception of M. Benoit d'Azy, vice-president, and M. lleckereen, who did not ob tain the absolute majority. The club of the 2a6 held a meeting at the moms of the Conseil d'Etut on Monday night to deliberate on the renewal of the bureau of the Assembly. They agreed to support the present bureau, hut in ease any opposition shouldbe made by the parties of MM . biers and Berryer, they appointed a csammittt c consisting of M. Montalembert and others, to prepare a new list out of their own body. The Mole Club are said to be disposed to maintain the present bureau.

Vatimesnil on the propositions for re form in the laws relative to mortgage. The Lest articles of the committee's bill were passed. . - The Sixteenth Committee of Inithitive ham recom menced the taking into consideration of tw•o proposi tions for opening the butcher-trade, in their reterenco to the committee of inquiry upon the production of cattle and the butcher-trade. M. Fouquier d'llerouel had brought forward a mo tion for a committee of inquiry into the causes of agricultural distress. You arc aware that M. Base, the irascible questor, has presented a motion for making a clear sweep of all the newspapers from the Boulevards and other public haunts where they are sold. It seems likely that the principle of thi, motion will he adopted by the committee of initiative, to which it has been re ferred; and thus will be removed a perennial source of complaint on the part of the liberal journals, which are at present excluded from street-sale. M. Waysse, Minister of the Interior, has just in terdicted the representation at the theatre of the Porte St. Martut of a comedy, the objectionable nature of which may be conceived hum its title, " Mr. Pritchard." The funds remain firm. The Fives closed at the thoughtlessly squandered it away. But railways are not the only kind of real prn perty that has brought new tax-payers to alleviate the load of the assessed under Schedule A, by taking upon them a share of the burden, and for allowing which to be admitted to the honour of paying au impost, once the exclusive privilege of the sail, the landowners have made its owners pay them libe-! rally. Canals, which in 1814, when classed with divers other items, were valued at some unknown fraction of 574,727/., were valued in 1842 at 1,2.29,202/.; in 1843 at 1,212,0161.; and in 1818 at 1,108,545/. Gas works, which in 1814 were also in cluded under the general designation •s other pro iwrty," were assessed in 1815 at 43,0311.; in 181 M at 648,898/. Not a farthing of this new property has been created without bringing grist to the land owners mill; and every pound of it helps to reduce hru tanto the proportional amount of their contribu tions to the national revenue. There is another matter that must not be left out of sonsiderution. We learn from the return above referred prices of yesterday. A woman, who tio.ured as Goddess of Liberty in one of thefrtes of the old revolution, died lutely at Hontleur. The reds wanted to get up a demonstra. tion on the occasion, but were prevented by tho authorities. _ _ A crime, attended with singular eireumstamrs, has been perpetrated in the department of the Meurthe. A father exposed his infant in the forest of harms bourg, with a . hundred-franc note pinned to its clothes, and set a peasant to watch. Shortly there camp by a wood-ranger. and taking up the child tenderly, as if about to treat it humanely, unpinned the noto and put it in his pocket . He then took tho child, beat out its brains against a tree, and buried it. What became of the twasant during . this time is not mentioned; but hewato mod the erune. 1 huppose you will hare received, ria Berlin, news of Dembinnkrs liberation and presence at Conatan tinople. The I)uchess of Sutherland has arrived at tho Hotel .Ikleurice. to that quarries, assessed in 1814 at 49,502/., had risen in IMB to 290,108/.; mines had risen in value I in the same time from 612,2031. to 2,174,229/. ; iron works had risen from 412,1122/. in 1812 to 738,278/. All this increased area of taxation has been called into existence by the capital, ingenuity, and enter prise, not of the landowners, but of other classes of society. The value of the landlords' property has been , increased by the toil of others; they have been paid liberally for looking on and allowing others to labour. Have they ally right to complain that the state claims a moderate contribution from the augmented wealth which the industrious of society have gratuitously bestowed upon them? Yet, again : the aggregate value of lands as (UM messed under Schedule A m 1814 was :34,330,4631. • in 1848 it was 42,317,8701. The aggregate assessed value of messuages in 1814 was 14,895,1311!. ; in 1848 it was no less than 38,822,151/. The contribu tion of the land to the property and income tax in 1814 was to the contribution from messuages in the proportion of rather more than two to one; in 1848 their contributions were nearly equal. But the bur den on lands is borne almost exclusively by the land lord class; the burden on messuages only presses upon them in common with all other proprietary classes. Here, again, their load has been lightened by the accession of an immense number of assistants in carrying it. From another return which has reached us, along with that from which we have been quoting, it ap pears that of the sum total of the national revenue in 1851 no less than 21,904,5601. was derived from cus toms duties alone. Of this total, upwards of four millions was derived from duties upon sugar, upwards of five millions and a half from duties on tea, rather more than half a million from duties on coffee and cocoa. Recent reductions in all three classes of duties have diminished the amount contributed by our landowners in that form to the national income, and have called into existence new classes of con sumers who contribute largely to it. Here again we find the pressure of taxation on the landowners greatly diminished, and by that very system of free trade which they would have us believe is injuring them. These facts warrant the conclusion that instead of undergoing a process of continuous impoverishment, the land-owning class have of late years been having the value and amount of their property steadily aug mented ; that instead of having the ratio of their share of the contributions to the national revenue augmented, or even kept at the old rate, they have had it much diminished. For merely looking on and allowing others to work (and pay them for leave to work) they have had their property increased and their burdens lessened. Their complaints of the increased quantity of corn and beeves consumed by the industrial classes, and the lower prices paid for them, arc quite in the spirit of the country shop keeper, who, when congratulated on the growing prosperity of his neighbours, replied—" What is ' their greater wealth to me, so long as they spend so much of it in the shop of that fellow over the way ? " It is in vain for the landowners to attempt to hum bug the public, and persuade them that the returns of trade and navigation for the year 18.50 are falla cious indications of a mere seaming national prospe rity. Without reference to prices, the large importa ' lions of corn, cattle, and butter, and the large amounts of eggs, coffee, tea, and sugar, en tered for home consumption, show that more mouths ate being better fed than fornaerly. The 3,778,435 quarters of wheat and the 3,858,332 not& of wheat meal and flour entered for home consumption In 1830 hate gladdened the hearts of many an honest and industrious family. ' And if home-grown wheat and flour have brought lower prices, and if rents have in some instances The purchase of reacts on account of the depot:is tors in the Savings Bank for the hod three months of 1109 amounted to 32,000 fr. of mite, which cost 977,000 fr.

(Moe, la, Bosire.im.street, Po et SPAIN. MADRID, Fyn. S. The Gazette of to-day contains a decree accepting the resignation of the Count of Minimal, Minister of War, and appointing General Lersumli to that post. The motive of Count Nlinisors resignation is said to be his objection to the reductions contemplated in the anny. ' The committee for the settlement of the debt has appointed for its president M. Flores Calderon, and for its secretary, M. Muquieru. The financial difficulties of the country continue to be the principal theme of discussion in political circles. The ministry have presented their plan of retrenchment, by which, after so many protesta tions, they only propose a reduction of 49 mil .ions of reels. As the deficit is of 300 millions, and as the new measure for tho adjustment of the debt will increase the yearly expenditure by 83 millions of realm, com mercial men have their misgivings concerning the possibility of its being brought into operation, so that the paper of the active debt of the five per cents. is offered in great abundance, and has already fallen in price. The opposition papers, especially thee/tome Publico, have already begun to attack the minister, accusing hint of having proposed a measure of adjustment with out the money to pay with. In the department of the Finance Minister, the retrenchment does not amount to more than 11 millions. 'flie estiniates for thisdepart ment amount to 460 millions of teals, or the third part of the whole expenditure of the nation. Add to this the money paid to the passive classes, the el( rgy,tho nuns, the interests of the debt, amount to five hundred millions. Total, 993 millions of reale spent in the finance department, a dispro portion which has not failed to increase the mistrust inspired by the minister. The day before the promulgation of the bill for the adjustment of the debt Perez Scone, the banker, whose relations with Bravo Murillo are well known, purchased 110 mil lions worth of Four and Five per Cents, which rose in value immediately after the publication of the bill, but which have since fallen again, as I said before, partly because of the unbelief of commercial men in the measure, and partly because the committee ap pointed to examine it have shown great variance of opinion. Letters from Madrid bring news of the progress cif the bill for settling the debt : The members of the Chants r of Deputies of Spain assembled on the 3rd in their bureaux to examine bills pre sented by the government. That on the regulation of the debt gave rise to a long and interesting disciretiou. All the speakers admitted the propriety and justice of regulating the debt, but the adversaries of the government contended that the moment was not opportune, and that the Treasury was not yet able to take on itself such a great engagesneaa with the certainty of not failing in it. In four bureaux candidates in favour of the government bill wore Owen; in three others they were defeated. The name of the committee arc MM. A. Llovente, Mageitiso, Flores-Calderon, Miola, Ciarcia-Luna, Vilches, Alonso. Milan. The government, it was said, did not intend to make the bill a cabinet question. The committee had de termined to demand the presentation of numerous duos ments on the matter. The president of the council went before the finance committee, and announced that he im posed to effect a saving of 11,300,000 reads in the budget of the ministry of finance, 5,000,000 teals of which in the di rection of the public debt.
