Airs Tiel•graph, and as the whole of ea, article is founded on • mseppeeheosion of your premises, 1 trust you will also publish this letter. You begin with stating that the two " eyes of tke diocese of Chichester" take different views of the church's reition—which may or may not be truo ; but you attempt to prove this by a quotation from the charge of Arch& aeon llare, and a speech of Areh• deacon Manaus" made at • late meeting of thivarehdescoury. Whatsoever an be the agreement or disagreement of these two dignitaries in general, on the present occasion they are awaking of two things which have very little con. neaion with each other. Archdeacon Manning is sparking on the very obvious maxim that children should be taubt church doctrines in church schools, which he here speaks of as the " principle of the church," and says very truly, that "so far as the state departs one heir's breadth from this principle, so far it departs from its own benefit, inasmuch as it Orrnieces a lower standard"—i e., arithmetic or geography, instead of relict . ..a. Archdeacon Hare, on the other hand, says—and says truly—that if the I church were to shut out the laity . from taking part in godly works (those of education included), the 'Tett would be, that the laity would become practicolly isfi lel, and the church system outwardly weak and inwardly hollow. In both these statements I concur fully, and so, I can venture to say, would both the archdeacons. Nor should have thought it worth while to notice this had I not &t -oned that there appears to be a constant endeavour on the part of the supporters of this government scheme of educa tion to repentant the clergy as averse to the co-operation of the laity. It is au opinion held by no class or party what. ever among the elergy—it was distinwly, repeat.dly, and deliberately repudiated by Archdeacon Meaning on that very OCCSIAOII, and by almost every speaker who followed him. It was distinctly said, "We court inspection ;" and again, "Management clauses are necessery." What we do say is that it is important that the clergy men have control over the moral and religious eon duct of the schoolmaster as well as of the scholars ; and that if it pease. the founder, of • school to make the bishop their referee, they should be permitted so to do. I ale., prottst against your essumption that the educa tion questioa is in any way connected with high and low church differences—be the views of the sr hdescons what they may, they are not eaponents of the views of the arch deaconries. S. vest! persons are collected—men el &Rattles of opinion- and on that subject are unanimous. Can you find no better rcaton for this uaaaimity than a sopposed feel iag in the president of that meeting, on subjects totally uncoil ' netted with the cause which convened it?

Smith, of Oracechurch-street, surgeon, stated that when he saw the deceased he was quite dead, Witness had examined the body, and, from the climate de , ceas4 had been used to, he was of opinion that his death ! was accelerated by exposure to the extreme frost during the night.

CUOLE.RA AT TEE lIIPANT PAUPER ASYLUM, Totrrlne.—Yesterday, Mr. Oreinyer, one of the medical inspector of the General Board of Health, as oho Mr. Hall, the pnar-law isspector for the metropolitan di otrict, visited Mr. Dreuet's Juvenile Peeper Asylum at Tootiug, for the puree on Institution an inquiry two the ISFIVIDSUIZICOS wa rmed whit the outbreak of cholera. From the rep •rt made by Mr. Kite, the resident medical officer of the asylum. it app. ass that the malady is on the the amebic, of come meted to have occurred up to the paied when 11r. Grainer and Mr. Hall left Touting peeked ,p afternoon— sassily, five o'clock bring in the aggregate 1811, an increase race four o'clock on Thursday afternoon of 71 enses. The number of cases which occurred dun,. hoeing um 2-5, and the number of deaths were 39, hoeing 114 cases now under medical treatnent, sea* of which are in a fair way of recovery. The M oped," in the course of their proceedings, bad their anew tint directed to an open stagnant ditch which pares +ling the reir of the asylum grounds, tnd to the nuisances arising from the County of Surrey Lunatic Asylum, situate about a quarter of • mile to the north-east of the establishment. It was stated that all the filth and refuse of the lunatic asylum was varied, by means of a large barrel drain, down towards Mr. Droue.'s establishment, and deposits itself in a large tank, and open ditches pealing through the fiel !s, and which were calculated to produce malaria and other penilential disorden. After a long consultation with Mr. Kite, and other medical gentlemen, the fol lowing reeentmendetione were given by Mr. Grainger:— That the immediate attendance of a rthelient physician and of the aesistant surgeons be procured, so that there may be a medical cane la soestant attendance on the sick both by night sad dsy, mail that is each new can, as soon as it pre seated itself, a consultation should be held. That additional muses be employ. d, and that evay body, after death, be in terred within twenty hours, and not kept for removal by the nervily parishes to which the children brlooged.—Tbe atlas was again visited throughout the day by committees of the Boards of Guardians of Bt. Pattern, St. Luke, Chol era, the Holborn Union, St. Mary, bilingual, Newington; the last of want pieced the following neon en the visitor.' inspection book of the asylum:—" A sesemittes of the overtones and guardians of fit Mary, Nee have thin day visited Mr. Drouet's establishment, and deemed it expedient, in nosequeoce of the presence of a fatal diem*, to remove the chiltrea of the above parish. At the same time they beg to express their sincere commisera tion fur the painful nsrons situation in which Mr. Drourt is placed, sad hope that this fearful visitation will shortly mituide." In ecoordance with this determinstios, the girls of Newington parish were removed last evening, and the boys will follow this morning. The othi r parishes which lave reeolved on the removal of their children are, the Bulbous Union, Chelsea, and Islington. It is a remarkable fact, that whilst all this is going on, Mr. Daniel yesterday received soneounications free two parishes, to know if he could art mmudate about 200 children from one, and about 150 from the other. Mr. Drown has, of course, declined taking them at present. It b expected that the inspuron who visited the asylum yesterday will immediately make I their reports to their respective boards, and that some farther Inquiry will be iastitated.

GRAINGER ON CHOLERA. 41 At a eonversazione held on Wednesday evening at St. Thomas's hospital, Mr. Grainger eelivered a very interesting lecture on this subject. Having given it as his opinion that the mission of the nit dint pro. (casein was prevention rather than cure, he proceed. d to inquire it cholera was contagious, arriving at the conclusion that it was not, and that, as in the ewe of plague or fever, it was to be attributed to the action and influence of 'eternal circumetames altogether apart from contagion, and to he, like them • arr ested by prevention, not cure. Quarstrint s, cordons sandal's*, and every sther Precaution of the kited, to check those diseases, had ever tailed, and had bt en abandoned as fruitless by the commas I consent of every government of this part se the world. If he were sight in attributing them to the influence of external circumstances - those circumstances could be controlled in one Cale as well r the other. In fact cholera, it was well knows, followed the' track of fever. F. Ter, but especially that of the typhoid eha• ratter, was to be found in localities where the atmosphere was most foul and the inhabitants most crowded, and it die appeared in pre:weed in as these external ease.. were dind Melted. In proportion as a district afflicted with fever whether typhus, a mtinued, or scarlet lever-au improved by drainage, the renewal o. ceespools, and other sources of unhealthy gases, and the dispasing of crowded inhatAtauts into cleaner and more commie:bus dwellings, in proportion did the fever abate and disappear. This he could attest by illustrations ' not only from the great towns, but all the small agricultural villages of this country. He feared that the medical mind, particalerly of the metropolis, was too much inft-aced spin this subject by won was observed in the hospitals, end that it leant to the belief that fever was contagion., because physicians, nurses, and students, who abet dad fever hospitals, were not noire. qusotly themselves seised with the disease.

A great deal of sickness prevails, and as one after another dies, he is thrown aside with the utmost indiffersone,without even a oovering of earth. There has not, as far as I can learn, been any quarrelling among the diguen.

Sir,—There appeared some days ago in the Times newspaper, a letter from Major-Gen ml William Napier, colonel of the 27th Regiment, laudatory of the purity, pa tnotism, dic. of himself and a few other disinterested indi viduals, who, for " their country's pod " only, have (doubt lees after much solicitation) suffered themselves to be pre vailed upon to take the command of their country's regiments. As the, of 031111 e, gallant and reform-repudiating general has. in the shove letter, unaccoun.ablyoverlookedtho " beam in his own eye," while philanthropically tugging away at the " mote" in the visual organ of his neighbours, and as from say pmition and experience as • private soldier I have some acquaintance with the various matters on which he has kindly undertaken to enlighten • benighted any be aildered public, I trust you will allow me to correct • few of that officer's misrepresentations. If, in so doing, my sympathies may appear to be strongly in favour of the Cob den school of reformers, I have to remind the worthy general that this is but natural, seeing that free trade has added 2d. • day (or nearly so) to the soldier's pay by cheapening the price of his provisoes. Soldiers have good cause, therefore, to regard financial reformers" with respect and gratitude. The " clothi. g matter " has been so ably handled in Mr. Glade/melt letter, printed in the Express of yeete rday, that any farther remarks on the subject may 'twin superflu ous, yet I cannotavoid pointing out, in pasting, how utterly inapposite and foreign to the purpose is the reply of the Major General (I give it this title by courtesy) to the charge made by the Finance Association. Teat charge, n few word., was to this effect—via., that the tailor colonels of regiments got a profit by delivering had clothing to their men ; in fact, being allowed some 315p001. for clothing the various regiments, they only expended some 240,000/ for that purpose, and patriotically put the trifle remaining into thee: pockets ; a charge not entnplintentary certainly, but plain enough and intelligible. Well, what says " the colonel of the 27th regiment" to this? Why, after expending a deal of virtuous indignation, he enters on a rigmarole statement about" boards " and " checks " amounting in the end to this, that the clothing was as " good as the samples !" (:" sealed patterns"). A pretty explanation truly. lie doesn't say • word about the price, quality, &c., of the "se led patterns," who selects them, or whether they are selected with an eye to the amount of cash advanced by government. Into none of these secrets of the trade does he enter; but having stated that the quality is equal to the "sealed pattern," details all the check, devised to prevent any other quality being used afterwards—in other words, having got their own share of the proceeds, he en larges on the Vidocq iogeouity with which they prevent any one else getting any—" the clothing is equal to the sealed patterns t" Private Guzzle, being accuser of being intoxi cated on the morning march , in London, satisfactorily proves that he was sober at the evening halt at Manchester. Major-Gen. Napier next advaroes to another de gree of comparison. Nut only is the ebbing as "good " as the sample, but it is even " better " than that of continental military. Looking at my coatee for the present year, I pity the continental soldier. Aud now, air, I proceed to a few statements of the gene ral, on which experience qualifies me to speak unhesi tatingly. First, we have an interesting picture drawn of a parental sup- rice officer loop cting a regiment, and a touch ing statement about " mutual confidence," &c., which looks wonderfully pretty on paper—the only place in which I ever saw it. The fact is, that the general on these occasions just looks round, and (mindful of the evening dinner at mess) stairs that the regiment is in a state of the hiihest possible order, perfection, and discipline, and then coldly asks if there ere " any oomplainfs ? " But. while he asks this, he knows (or might know) what every man present knows, from the colonel downwards, that the whole business is a vile Gam, and that if any one dared to make a complaint, his whole subuquent life would be a curse to him. Ido not speak from hearsay or fancy. I saw one poor fellow complain to a geoeral officer about some gross treatment he had received from his captain ; the officer, of coarse, got nil; the private afterwards worried, badgered, and bullied, until, in a fit of despair, he deserted, and on being re-taken, got twelve months imprisonment, the usual punishment for a first de e-rtion being three months. Another man got four months imprisonment for writing • letter to the Board of Ordnance, for a civilian who could not write, and such cases are fre quent. It is notorious that quartermasters of regiments make large sums of 11101117 : ask the general where it comes from. If he does not know, I can tell him. The general says we can boy where we like : this is all stuff. The greatest exer tions are urd to prevent the men buying anywhere save of the military authorities, and at their owe prices. Spadal inspeitors of neesseeries " are ordered, for this very pur pose ; the captain goes round, with the pay earjsant at his heels, and if an unfortunate fellow has purchased say article himself, no matter how good it is, it Is pounced on straight way, iu.ndemned as " unregunental," and the man has to pay for a new one. I have seen fifty or sixty shirts con demned at one inspection of • single company ; not that the articles were old, but they were "not regimental." The quartermaster's articles are scandakusly dear, and pretty notions of justice must they have, who, when I an buy • rood knife and fork elsewhere for sixpence, insist upon my purchasing an inferior article of hit for Woman. The general says : "All officers are ordered to retire at half-yes:lr inspe ctions, when the general mks if there are any complaints. " If this be the case, how is it that I, who have been present at amens of impactions, never yet saw it Space prevents any farther remarks from me at present. With your postilion, I hasps again to return to this sub ject. Misanwhi.e, I beg to remind the general that the " you're another" strain in which ha concludes his letter to the Tames is always • sign that the writer is sadly put to it for facts and arguments. The general ought not to need reminding that my neighbour's being a poacher is no excuse for me in turning @muggier ; and that even if a stray menu facturrr or two may curtail a few p.m. from their people's allowance, this will hardly justify a ample of hundred colo nels filching some seventy or eighty thousand from the national pocket. A NIP/AM SOLDIIII. LORD CREWE'S SIR,-f have often read, with a great deal of pleasure, your exposure of irregularities end abuses in the church, and of church properties, and I trust therefore in bangle' before you an abuse by churchmen, of property left for charitable purposes, I em not trespassing too much upon your valuable time. Led Crewe, Bishop of Durham, left large estates in the ' .ty of Northumberland to trustees, who were to apply rents to charitable purposes. The present trustees are the Master of Lincoln College, Oztord—by virtue of his oiliee—and, I believe, who troubles himself little about the tetra estate ; the Rev. D. Duren, D D., canes of Durham ; the Rev. IL G. Liddell, rector of Eulogies, in the county of Durham—both of whom also pay little attention to the charity ; the Venerable Cha les Thorp, D.D., rector of Syron, archdeacon of Durham, canon of Durham, warden of the University of Durham, &c., &a., &c., sod the Bev. William Nicholas Darnell, the mild, generous, and well-beloved (!) recipient of 6,0001. a year as rector of Stan hope, in the county of Durham. These are the trustees, the two tattiest WhOOI manage the estates, I should my almost without consulting their brethren in trust. To viva these rev. gentlemen their due, I must mention that they attend to the business of the charity without fee or reward, further than that they are allowed to charge what they think proper for travelling expenses ; they are allowed, also, a handsome residence in Bemborough Castle, which is often occupied by either one or the other of the two last-mentioned trustees. But to come to the abase of which I sneak. Amongst the other estates loft by Lord Crewe, was the estate and village of Bleachland, in the county of Nartimamberiand, the village being built upon the vim of an eneisat meaastery , founded by Walter de Bolber, in a place where en anett to knight mielat choose to dwell, a lovely and sequestered spot, Deep in the bosom of a valley"—` Fair to look upon"—so much so, tout you misht imagine neither sorrow nor misery could enter there. But such is not the case, for the reverend custodians of another charity have sown the seeds of both sorrow and misery, when they should have held out the open hand of charity. The inhabitants of the village are ahneet:wholly dependent upon the lead mines wetted in the neighbour. hood for their sumwt, and, consequently, with the success or failure of the p rod uce of ere and price of lead so fluctuates the comfort of the inhabitants of Blanchland. The lead mines, et the rev. trustees must be aware, have been very unpneloative for mime that past. so mush so that many of the shun who lived at a distanee,and could set other work, have left the mina. That lead has not produced so great a Pries recently may not be known to the meek rector of Stanhope, who derives the greater portion of his femme from that soures, but, for his information, I beg to let him know that such is the fact. Well, notwithstanding this depression of the staple trade of the &strict, sad notwithstanding that there are great numbers of poor widows and bedridden men who have hithereojetst been able to pay the rent of the cottages occupied by them in Blanohland, and to keep themselves from applying to the parish—yet, notwithstanding all this, I say, the rev. managers of the estates have given to all the ocenpaata of their houses—rich and poor, healthy and bed ridden--notioe to quit, or pay en increased rent, in some cues a doable rent. Others one-third, or one-half more an arbitrary increase, subject only to the whim of the trus tee,. Perhaps one poor cottager may have offended the sreltdesoon, or the wealthy rector—then double his rent. Perhaps he may have offended some of the rev. gentleman's sons—let his rent be increased one-half ; or if he have only offended the agent, he may get off by an increase of oae fourth or one-third. But takinf into consideration the pre sent poverty of the district, we must look for some good and valid reason for raising rents on a charitable estate, when so many of the occupants are fit objects of charity. Where other landlords lower their relate, or return tenants 10 per cent., it surely ought to be some eowerful motive that makes Lord Crewe's representatives raise theirs. Let WI look for a reason. Rave they increased recently the number of recipients of their bounty ? No.—Rove they found the amount of rents received inadequate to support the present number who are on the list of Lord Crewe's charity? I should say it was ample.—Then what is the reason? I can find an answer easily ; but I will not swear it is the true one. I trust it is not ; bat nevertheless I will give it, ae I have no doubt it has something to do with this rent raising. Amongst other valuable appurtenances to the Blancliland estate, is en extensive moor, abounding with g rouse, the shooting of which, until recently, was let at a rental, to the benefit of the funds of the charity ; but arc deafens, sad even rectors will get sone, and these sons will have shooting, and where so convenient as at Blanchland, where there's nothing to pay ? 8o Blanchland is fixed so the shooting quarters of the young shoots of Messrs. Thorp and Darnell, and their friends. But where is the offspring of the plethoric pluralist and wealthy rector to find a fitting residence for their few days' sojourn during the shooting season? There are two inns certainly in the village, and one an exceedingly goad one, constructed out of a portion of Cu old monastery; but a private ree l lace must be infinitely su perior, and a private residence is forthwith provided in a portion of the old gateway to the abbey still standing. An old and deserving servant of the estate, who I daresay might have been born in the house, is turned out, and the house is restored, at an enormous expense, as in the " olden time," with its sculptured columns and arched ceilings, its wainscoting and stained windows, so that it wu made fitting to receive any of the wealthy trustees who might wish to revel in a style emblematic of the former wen pants of the place. This restoration I could not have ob jected to if it had been of any use, e, being a hit of an an.iquary, I like to see old things paid proper to; but when I find that only luring one season is this residence occupied by the hopeful juniors, and then no longer required except to store curd, to which purpose it is now applied, I then naturally inquire why the money was laid out to restore—or rather render a good and profitable house into a grand but unprofitable granary ? Thus is seen a great expenditure of money to no purpose, certainly to no benefit of the cheeky. But that money must be made up, and what place so proper to suffer for it as the place where it was soent ? S., the poor inhabitants of B:anchland suffer. No doubt" charity he gins at home," and the trustees, in the first place, chant ,bly provide shooting for their sons; they then charitably provide a residence at great cost ror them ; and then they—charitably to provide for their loss to the estate—carry their charity to the home of eve', one of their tenants in Blanchland by raising their rents. This, I pre, sumo was the intention of Bishop Crewe when he left his estates to charitab'e uses. At least, the trustees seem to ka t his will so.. u rt ra hts been customary for years past, also, to distribute at Christmas time, amongst the poorer inhabitants of the village, 40 stone of beef, with coals, and other usual gifts at thus season ; hut, I presume, from a spirit of economy, to be traced no doubt to the above reasons, the quantity of beef dis tributed this season has been only 7 stone. Ido not know to whom the trustees are answerable for their abuse or can • leesners of the trust reposed in them, but I thick the sooner the Attorney-Gonersl prepares a scheme for the better ad ministration of the fonds of the charity the better.—Atat Leeve.—Jan. 3, 1849. MAILS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FItANCE Sir,—l beg your permission again to address you a few observations relative to the conveyance of mails b.- ' tween London and Paris. If the night mail between the capitals is 'join conveyed by the longer route yid Calais, the question of sending the ecorevondetce from each capital in the evening, to arrive at the other at an hour early enough fur business the nest morning, is virtually given up, and, alter this great advantage has been enjoyed for a year, the public must one. more be prepared fur letters posted in Lin don or Paris in the evening not coming to band until Late the next afternoon. . . . . . . . . Such being the case, it is worth while inquiring what rea sons led to the proposed suspension of the present satisfactory arrangements, and if there are no means of overcoming them. From the circumstances Imi ntiohed in my lut let ter it certainly does appear that the English mail-packets have had a more onerous duty to perform then the Frrnch packets during the past year ; but this arises solely from their taking the quick or night mail, and is in no way in conse quence of any greeter didlculties experienced in running to and from Boulogne. The Boulogne service has, for all prac tical purposes, been performed as regularly as that by Calais; audit appears that the only fault found with the present ar rangement is that our steamer, have the hardest work to do. Lard Clanricarde went to Paris with a view of negotiating an equal division of both services between the packets of the two governments, but failed in accomplishing this, from the French government hesitating to assume any part of the niubt service, for which their steamers are notoriously in efficient. How the matter is to be mended by our steamers with the tight mail going to Calais it is difficult to see. They will still incur the difficulties resulting from landing and embarking the n ail bags at low water, and by night when the weather is rough ; and probably to a greater extent, as it is understood that to avoid the public losing all the extra time required on account of the longer land Jour ney, a less allowance will be made for delays connected with the sea voyage, and partial variations in the time of sailing of the steamers than at present. But, on the other hand, if the present route be mein tained, the Bout .gne and Amiens Railway Company are not only prepared to take the mails between Paris and lioulogne by express train in 6X hour", as I have already stated ; but it appears that they have already coin•• to terms with the French government on which to do it; and when this is done, the present time of transit between London and Paris will permit of a sufficient interval being left betwers the arrival of the mail train at Dover, and the departure of the corresponding one from Boulogne, for the mail-steamers to come in and go out with the tide nearly on ail occasion'', and the trouble and &Scatty of the low water service will be obviated. It is also understood in Paris that the French government are prepared to pay half the additional expense of conveying the mails by thesborter route through Boulogne, should is appear that there is any; and should oar govern ment consent to continue to work the whole of that station as at present. Under these circumstances, it is to be hoped that Lord Clanriearde will accede to the unanimous wishes of the mer cantile community, acid lase no time in enteting into nego tiations with the French postal authorities for the continu ance of the night mail tries Boulogne.—H, INCOME.

FINANCIAL REFORM. On Thursday evening the reformers of Bradford, Wiltshire, presented J. A. Roebuck, Bs q., with a tok-n of their respect. A putlic dinner was held at the Swan Hotel, which wm attended by many of the most respect. able inhabitants of Bradford, as well as by several of the electors of Bath.—Mr. Wilkies, of Bradford, presided, and upon the removal of the cloth, the usual toasts were proposed and responded to. Mr. B.olf, secretary to the Bradford Reform Association, then presented Mr. Roebuck with a piece of wool dyed cloth of Bradford manufacture, upon which was embroidered In gold letters the following:—" Presented to John Arthur Roebuck, Bog ,by the reformers of Bradford, Wilts, as a token of respect for his manly conduct in the House of Commons." . . . . . The Cirantirate, upon the subsidence of the enthusiastic applause which followed the presentation, read an address, and proposed "The health of J. A Roebuck, Esq., the able and consistent advocate of the people's rights," which was drunk amidst loud and continued applause. Mr. ROZBUCK then said, I hope my friends of Bradford will accept the grateful thanks which I now desire to return them :or the beautiful present they have made me. I do I not think, however, that I have only to return thanks. will go a step further, and say that, being a public man, 1 hope the gentlemen present will not think I am about un duly to occupy their time. if I discus for a few moments the great political questions which now agivate the country. It must be plain to everybody that this country occupies a very remarkable position. Whilst all Europe is ringing with revolution, destruction, and disorder, in Baglend we have perfect peace. What cause, then, for the difference between this and other countries ? The first great cause is, that the circumstances in which the people of this country stand are markedly different to those in other countries; and the next cause is the thorough downright Food sense of the people of this country themselves. Incited to every species of folly as they have been, they hays not yielded is them as other nations have. (Hear, hear.) They have already fought their battle of freedom, and they have gained so many advantages that they will not risk the many bles sings they have to thank God for, by seeking the remainder through violence and disorder. And I advise the working men of this country, in particular, to give no ear to any who would wean them tram their peaceful and great constitu tional alms, but to remember that every incitement to violence is offered by a real enemy, or what is almost worse, a very ill-judging friend. We all know, indeed, that incitements have been made, but the smallness of the numb'r who have yielded to them have marked the solid sense of the great mar of the people of this country. The magnificent 'prises offered to the world by the people of this country is a proof that they deserve the franchise which we reformers are desirous to obtain for them. (Cheers.) But if we are to gain that right it must hi by • ordisl co-operation.—The I d gentleman then explaineu his vie , es on further parliame.tory reform and educaPion, 110'l alluded to the unhappy condition of Ireland. In refer eues to financiel economy Mr. Roebuck went on to say:—Mr. Cobden. as your are all aware, has brought out &pet. (A robe: "Area awry good one it is.") Yes, it is , and nose eaa do harm by repeating the agates of 1 .In rand figures there were between viola and nine millions more expended in 1848 then in 1830. (Hear.) This has been done by a redeem parliament, this increased expenditure has been brought about by the very gentlemen who called themselves the reform administration, and blamed the Duke of Wellington for his went of economy. (Hear.) Now when is the change whisk has taken place between 1830 and 1848 in this mastery? What has changed ? We are peaceable in Hartland. In Ireland there is quietness, such as it is welled. We ham peals in our colonies. Not on in the Rua Indies; but then the people of that country pay for their own wars. What then is the difference by which this increased expenditure has been created? Is any man here happier? Not a bit. It is clear then tnet the difference is not caused by the people. The mum is that there are fastened upon this country the dependents and connexions of half o doses reigning families, subservient to whose wants are the colo nies, the army, the navy, the ordnance; and all the other d partmenta of the public service are made instruments for their advantage. There is nothing more done, but there is more expended. Unfortunately Mr. Cobden has not shown how this expenditure has vino. I recollect that, in 1836, I requested the administration to do pertain things in reference to Canada, but was refused. There were then 2,000 soldiers in the colony ; but the minister of the day thought that the co lonies must be made to fear us before they would love us; and the 2,000 soldiers were consequently ineaued to 14,000—(Hear, hear) —and the expenditure was, of course, increased in a corresponding ratio. (lieu.) Instead of governing Canada in peace, as they might have done, they ruled it with a large army, and at this present moment they are obliged to do is 1848 what I asked them, and they refused, to do in 1836. In tact, we have now—as was observed to me by the best authority upon the colonies not three weeks ago—we have now Canada governing herself. (Hoer, hear.) We have our colonies in all quarters of the globe ; and if Mr. Cob ten had run his finger over them, and noted down all the connexion. and dependants of the reigning fami ies connected with them, a very curious book lit would have made, and would be highly illustrative of aria. tarratic dominion. We want an administration which shalt embrace within its sphere the experience, the intelluzence, and the virtue the representatives of the people may evince, and not be the mere appanage of • few families—an alone nistration which, though it may not be prepared to go beyond the people's expectations. w uld be willing to consult the peoples will and to yield to the people's demands. (Ore er..) That thorough broad kind of administration which shalt have the people for its tenodation, and the advice and intelli gence of all the people for its buttress—not composed of nurslings, scarce fit to come from their mother's bosom, but men of thought, steadfast, honest, practical men, who will bring with them what they learn out and in their own burins es, and apply it in conducting the business of the public. We want not a red-tapist administration, but an administration composed of men from the people ; men of mind, end whose intellects are the topmost intellects of all. (Cheers.) This time is coming. 1 see around me the hori son brightening. I have come down from the north, from those palaces of workmen, those great marts of irdostry, with my mind bib of hope, because I see hope in those who are so well able to tonal the future by the pogrom of their own individual wealth. They are full of hope fur the future, and I now beseech my fellow-countrymen to compel the go vernment to carry on the of in of the nation as we carry on our own private business, efficiently and economiesll) ; ex pending when expenditure is for the benefit of the country. but withholding, as with an iron grasp, when individual interests are only to be 'acetified. If th:- people are united and wish it, the government must concede, no matter whether Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Rwsell be in office. (Hear.) I have now to thank yea for the generally of your dealing towards me. I have often thought, when not in eireet communication with my fellow s iuntry men, what could induce them thin to desire to meet me. I thought that in what I have done my conda-t has been honest if not very wise, and that it is in that sense you have been pleased to express your ap probation of an honest course. (Applause.) If you will allow me I will now thank you heartily, not only for the beautiful present you have made me, but for the how ur of inviting me to come among you to-day, and to assure you that, in whatever relation I may hereafter stand towards you, or should I @gain by any chance b come a repreeenta tire of toe people, that course which you approve now shall he still pursued by me ; and by an example of honesty I will endeavour, not only to win approval, but to show (abet, that the people of this country are willing to mark their approval of an honest course of conduct, no matter how humble the talents by which that honesty may be supported. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud applause. The " Health of Messrs. Hume and Cobden, and the re form members of the House of Commons," end several other touts, were subsequently proposed. After some further con versation, the meeting separated. IRELAND. Dostiu, JAN. f. Every body knows the relations in which Mr. Barrett, of the Pilot, stood with respect to the late Mr. O'Connell, whom publications always originated in that journal. Well, in the Packet of last night— the great opposition organ of OVonnellism—there appears a letter having the signature " Richard Bar re.t," in which, after stating that money was owing to him from the late repeal association, he asks to he in formed in what treasurer's hands the five pounds for warded on New Year's Day, by Mr. O'Connell, to the funds of that body can be found, as he would " im pound them in the hands of the garnishee." At a meeting held in Ennis on the let Jan. a me morial was adopted to Lord Clarendon calling on his excellency to postpone the call for payment of the re lief advances which have been placed on the mum collectors' warrants. The memorialists say that, be tween April and Oct., 1848, they had paid in one union of Clare Be. 3d. in the pound, and, in another, lyet higher rates, and would now be called on to pay, for pauper purposes, a new rate of 3a. in the pound ; while within the last 15 months the amount collected as rates in Clare amounted to 130,0001. The following letter from Mr. John B. Dillon appears in the last number of the Nation (American) : Nsw Yost, Dec 11.—To the Editor of the Nivion.— Dear Sir,—A letter from a Dublin correspondent in the hut number of your jOurnal, is calculated to impress your readers with a belief that the failure of the late movement lb Inland was owing to some incapacity or misconduct on the part of Mr. S. O'Brien. Although I feel no d.sire to ob trude myself upon the nonce of any portion of the American public, I cannot suffer this calumay, upon the best and bravest man I have ever kaown, to pass without contradic tion. A simple nerrative of all Mr. O'Brien'. acts, during the week which I spent with him in Tipperary, would be the most satisfactory sn , wer to suchinnietuationsas thole contained in the letter referred to. But the publication of such a de tail, d account, at this moment, might be considered as hardly compatible with a decent regard to the pesi-ion in which he and others are now placed. Asking your residers, then, to take my word for whet it may be worth, I assert that if Hannibal or Napoleon had been in the position of W. 8. O'Brien, neither of those great commanders, with such materials as he had, and such cooperation as he re ceived, could have achieved any more respectable result. At no time, to my certain knowledge, had Mr. O'Brien an armed force that could be rationally expected to withstand a single company. About thirty rust eaten fowting-pieces, with as average of one round of ammunition for each, and some few auxiliary weapons of the most despicable descrip tion, constituted the most imposing array of arms t xhibited throughout the whole" campaign." Of the many thousands; of armed club men (some of whom are probably new criti cising Mr. O'Brien's ooaduct very fro el)), those who " fol , lowed him to the field " fell short of a dozen men. lie was met repeatedly in the streets, and opposed by priests, acting, I hive no dohbt, in strict accordance with the dictates of coascitner. His. orders and instruc tions were received by the people with respect, nay, sometimes, with chisels; but they " were never obeyed." I wish, sir, that for the benefit of others who may hereafter be placed in like circumstances, your tor respondent would furnish us with some easy method of achieving a revolution with s handful of unarmed and diso bedient peasants, opposed by a disciplined army of tome 40,000 men. It will naturally be asked why did Mr. O'Brien and his friends ever conceive the prepcsteroua idea of resist ing, with such contemptible resources, the power of the English government ? But of his conduct in this respect, I submit, no fair judgmeat can be formed without a know ledge of the antecedent facts et the representations which had been made, end of the promise which were never ful filled. Even with such knowledge, it might be necessary to claim some allowance for the position in which the British minister had raced them by his tyrannical proceedings. The alternative before them was this, eith, r to submit p4uively to imprisonment without trial, or to resist. And tee worst, perhaps, that can be said of them i., that they chow, ruin and exile end death, rather than suffer that right which lies at the bottom of all freedom to be violated in their persons. Or Mr. O'Brien, individually. I can say, with perfect. truth, ' that of all that party which ackoowkdg, d him for its head, he was ever the moat reluctant to commit his country to the perils of a civil war ; and that, once driven to resistance, he was of all the firmest and most leer), re in maintaining the pod ion he had maimed, and the lest to abandon it. Your correspondent may poioihli think that he i• rendering good service to (felon , by sacrifi, , n the character of an individual in .rder that the cha racter of the country may be save But impartia men wiil hardly tolerate this. They will ay that William mith O'Brien has devoted twenty ain .1 a spotless lite to un ceasing efforts for the good of hie cuunsry, and that, finally, he his forfeited life itself for her sake. And they will con clude that it argues but little generosity in those for whom he has sacrificed so much, to seek to rob him of that which be pries above all that he has lost—the reputation of a brave and true man. Sincerely wicking that this may be the lost time my name may appear in connexion with the events referred to in this letter, I beg to subscribe myself, Ike.— JOHN B. DILLON.
