The Irish are a quick , nation ; but they are not a nation children. They are eager to meet conciliation way, and ready to hope much even from ladle. Lions in themselves slight. But they can no longer be amused by promises which bring no performance, or 'satisfied by the graceful courtesies of Royalty except as typifying the substantial realities of Par liamentary action. The occurrences of the pest week abound in happy omens. They establish beyond dispute the fact that Irish disaffection is not past treatment. Prom this point of view the Dublin demonstrations have a genuine value, but it is a value which will sink to zero if their signifi cance is mistaken or over-estimated. It is for Englishmen to see that they are not perverted, in the interest of party, to sustain an argument that there is no disaffection to cure. Those who rely on them for such a purpose will soon, if they are allowed to act on their reliance, find out the error they have committed. A people easily aroused to loyalty is likely under different circum stances to be excited quite as easily by a directly contrary feeling ; and the very enthusiasm which cheers the Prince of WALES, just after the House of Commons has voted the disestablishment of the Irish Church, might be fatally reversed if that vote should prove but one more example of those abstract resolutions so dear to legislators whose goodness ends with their intentions. If the visit of the Prince of WALES to Ireland does not bear its proper fruit it will not be the fault of the Royal visitor or of the Irish nation. He has done his part admirably, and the nature of his reception is sufficient evidence that the popular attitude towards the Sovereign is marked neither by sullenness nor rancour. The failure—if failure there should be—will rest solely with ourselves ; and to guard against the risk of such a disaster, we have only to pursue without halt or misgiving the course which is demanded alike by the honour of Parliament and the welfare of the empire. THE PROJECTED STATUE TO LORD DEBBY. Soma of our contemporaries are very busily mooting the project of a memorial to Lord Dann. The suggestion implies that a brilliant and active career has come to its close ; for we rarely com memorate men who are still with us. Lord DERBY, in ability as well as in rank, has been one of the notables of his time ; and a record of his public life is becoming. He is the only surviving specimen of a political order which pro mises to have no renewal, and which will certainly not be continued by the destined in heritors of his title and position. The claim of high-spirited nobles to whom politics were a pastime, like the turf, the cock-pit, or in worse days the gaming-table, and debating a graceful art, like the mastery of Greek and Latin verses, and public business a taste, like the appre ciation of Homes and Honacs, have their last representative in him. The memorial which is proposed will mark not simply the termination of his public career, but the close of a political era. An admiring contemporary thinks that a statue to be erected in one of the most public site, of London would be a suitable tribute. We are happy in being able to support the suggestion. The figure of Lord DERBY would read to passers-by the progress which the generation has made on all the great questions which affect the liberty and progress of England. On the base of the statue should be inscribed not the noble earl's victories, but his defeats actual or imminent; for these mark the gains of England. The list would be a long one. Some of the lines might run as follows : " Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland," " Protec " tion to British Industry : Maintenance of the " Corn Laws, Navigation Laws, Sugar Duties, " Timber Duties ; " " The Treaty of Com " meroe with France Opposed," " Exclu " ikon of the Jews from Parliament," "Com " pulsory Church-rates," " University and Col " lege Testa," " Roman Catholic Oaths," " the " Disunion of Italy," " the Temporal Power of " the Posy," " Confederate Independence in " America," " Resistance to the encroachments of " Democracy," thc. On the reverse of the pedestal we should find a meagre list of more honourable causes " National Education in Ireland," and "Abolition of West Indian Slavery." On a third side words which note at once a victory and a defeat, a surrender of principle and a triumph of party, might be inscribed—" Household Suffrage, " pure and simple ; the Whip dished, and a " Leap taken in the Dark." In these lines Lord Denay's political career would be described with tolerable fulness. They would narrate, with two exceptions, not his services to England, but Eng land's conquests over him. This statue in a con spicuous site in London would symbolise not the victor triumphing, but the captive led in chains. infected persons ances seems tow ridicules& If the right of such persona does not hinder them from tem* ling they will not be deterred by a penalty, since in almost all cases they can without difficulty con osal their condition. IN the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday a learned counsel applied for a rule for a new trial in a certain case, on the ground that the jury had misconducted themselves. He put in an affidavit by one of the jurymen declaring that in the course of the trial the defendant had obtained access to the jury, and had personally solicited them to give the verdict in his favour, which they afterwards in fact returned. The judges held that as all communications within the jury box are sacred they could not be put in evidence or used to overturn a verdict. In the course of the argument an amusing story was cited. In a certain circuit town some years ago a learned aerjeant appeared for the plaintiff in a case tried at nisi prius. As is customary, the presiding judge addressed his fellow member of Serjeants'-inn as " brother ;" whereat some of the jurymen pricked up their ears and opened their eyes. The judge summed up directly in favour of the plaintiff, but the jury returned verdict for the defendant. Inquiry showed that there had been much honest indignation in the jurymen's room, and that the verdict had been designed to counteract the evident partiality of the judge in favour of his ow,t brother ! Ws have received letters this morning from mem bers of the Abyssinian expedition. The one of latest date was written on the 19th ult. from the camp at Mahlon, about thirty miles south of Antelo. The manner of progress for the last three marches is best described, says one correspondent, by the nursery line, " Here we go up, up, up, and here we go down, down, down." Supplies, excepting oorn for the cattle, were so abundant, and so essay procured, that the commander-in-chief intended to form no depot between Antalo and Magdaia, or at any rate not to slacken his move ments to await the collection of provisions at any one point. The writers thought that between Let and Magdala the tents would be abandoned, and were under the impression that before their letters were delivered here, the telegraph would have informed us of the presence of the troops before Tmsonoaz's stronghold. The highest point on which our men bad marched was 10,200 feet above the sea, but they had passed close to a peak estimated at 13,000 feet. The increased eleva tion did not sensibly affect the temperature in the daytime, but at night every addi tional thousand feet added perceptibly to the necessity for warm clothing. The thievish ten dencies of the people were frequently displayed ; nevertheless the native transport was honestly conducted, and was simply invaluable. It was suspected that the princes through whose territories our forces were passing at tempted to delay the expedition for much the same reasons as a country innkeeper exerts himself to get anything for his guests except post horses. The cash which the chiefs obtain from us they invest in munitions of war in order to be well prepared for their enemies. One of our correspondents estimates Tusorioss's reliable soldiers at 3,000. If the KING chooses to retire he can do so, reaching Kuara, his native province, through Godjam. He might thus baffle us for the present, and force us, at the expense of another half dozen millions, to protract the war into next winter ; but, to outmarch us, he must sacrifice his heavier cannon, and it was thought the pang would be too acute.

'RIL 20, WITH THE .011.1.A.RJ1111•843. Lahore newspaper gives some particulars of "'omit action with the Benoetess. The British troops engaged were the Srd Punjab Infantry and a wing of the 6th Punjab Infantry, 80 sabres 3rd Punjab Cavalry, and they, with two mountain guns, wont out to where the deputy-commis- loner was with the local levies inside the Ortolan Pass, which leads to the Begot., country. The enemy took possession of the hills, and repeated attacks were made upon their position, but apparently without any decided success, and as the day closed the British retired in good order to their cantonments. The enemy's lose is unknown, but their chief leader was the first man on their aide killed. The hill which our men climbed to the right was a most awful place. There were not above thirty of the enemy against perhaps seven or eight hundred of our men ; but the natural obstacles were so great, that the odds in men were, if anything, against us. From their position the enemy could fire into the masses, who, from want of space, were huddled up together. The saddest part of it was that Colonel Buxton's body had fallen into the enemy's hands, and they demanded Ra. 3,000 before they would give it up. It is not distinctly known how he was killed, but Lieutenant Mackinnon, his adjutant, who was wounded much at the same time, says he was bit in the leg, and that one of the enemy came and cut him down with his sword afterwards. Major Hosts got a blow on the right temple from a stone, but is also all well. The second in command of the 6th had a very narrow escape ; a bullet entered the front of his helmet, struck against the chinstrap (which he had put inside luckily), was turned, and went out at the top of his helmet. Colonel Buxton's body has since been recovered. It is said there is to be no expedition to punish the tribe. The total number of orphans in Orissa left des titute and dependent upon the Indian government for support amounts to 1,467, consisting of 540 boys and 927 girls. A naval court has been held at Amoy, in Chins, to inquire into the loss of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Niphon. The oourt exonerated the commander of the ship from all blame for her lose, which was "an accident inci dental to the night navigation" of the coast where she took the ground at that season of the year.

Warrs, or some other pious moralist in verse, tells us that we are "beset with snares on " every hand," and the assertion is as true as it is commonplace.

THE STRIKE IN BOLOGNA. The strike in Bologna seems to have had more of a political than an economical character. The masters and workmen as well as the shopkeepers came to a resolution to abstain from work and to shut up their shops for three days as a protest against increase of taxation, and especially against the income and the grist taxes. Accordingly at 9 o'clock on Tuesday last there was not a shop open or a vehicle in the streets. The peasantry, who came as usual with a supply of food, were met at the gates, and ordered to return home. A few coffeehouses, which were opened " for the convenience of the men on strike," had their windows broken. The windows of the town house were also broken, and the municipal officers were pelted with stones. The printers' so ciety issued a placard, in which they declared that they would only work to bring out the republican journal, the r Amico - del Popolo. Some attempts at arrest having been made, the police were attacked, and the following cries were raised, " Down with the grist tax !" " Down with the ministry !" " Long live Martini !" " Long live Garibaldi !" By direction of the authorities the office of the Alnico del Popolo was searched, and the editor, manager, and printer were arrested. The police were supported by a battalion of infan try. Only a fortnight ago the manager of this journal was tried for attack on the King and his government, and was acquitted by the jury that tried the case. The following placard was posted on the walls of Bologna during the strike : Italians,—The monarchy of Buoy has had its trial. Betrayals upon betrayals, meanness upon meanness, infamy upon Infamy, humanise upon barassinp. Lepl methods have been ezhatuted. There remains, therefore, foram only to reply to the insolent and cowardly conduct of the Cow/orreries by force. Let us wash our hands in the blood of these asseamins. Pity for such persons is a crime —compassion ► sin. To arms, therefore. Let us redeem our country, and let our unanimous cry be " Down with the monarchy and up with the republic !" THE DISTURBANCES IN LISBON. Almost simultaneously with the strike in Bologna similar scenes were taking place in Lisbon. A body of workmen paraded the streets and en tered the shops demanding alms. One body proceeded to the office of the Home Minister. Some of these were arrested, and conveyed to gaol under an escort of municipal guards, cavalry, and infantry. At night the crowd assumed a more threatening aspect. Stones were thrown at the municipal guards and police, some of whom received severe wounds. M. Palmeiro. the commandant of the Civil Guards, was attacked at half-past 9 in Capellao-street, and seriously wounded. At 11 o'clock the various groups were dispersed. Fifteen persons were arrested. THE DIST'IIEBANCES IN AIit3TRIA. The Vienna Presse writes es follows on the sub ject of the fatal riot which took place on Raster Monday in Hungary : We are far from desiring to exaggerate the importance of the democrats of Pesth and Keakemet, or of their deeds. They arewretchedbrawlers, without conscience, who, in any other conntry, would be shut up in &madhouse. But unfor tunately in Hungary the people &re led by such persons, sad as the influent* of the national party is compromised sad weakened thereby, we are .foreed to keep our eyes upon them. We fear that the time of trial baa come for Desk and his friends. Their duty is to restrain the demagogue hydra by remaining within the strict limits of legality aucl detaching the people from those who are misleading them. If they do not mood In thh agitation will gain ground in Hungary, the "left" will rise to power, absolution will maimed, and we know the result when absolution prevails in see or the other section of the monarchy. In the midst of this state of things there is a powerful party in Hungary who want a distinct natiooal army. If they should succeed in accomplishing this object the edemas of the people would have it all their own way. We do not pat knives in the hands of children and the nom of the Hungarian people has shown snob inexpe rience that the greatest prudence is indispensable. This is reason estop& for demonstrating the impossibility of scan** with the Minimise demand for a national Bangui= army.

The Prince Imperial is coming back from Brest to-morrow without stopping at Rennes. I have heard that the reason why he is not to visit the Princess Baciocchi is that the measles are in the house. It will be a great pity if this accident should deprive the country of the benefit in some other form of the pacific speech which we were told yes terday was to have been made by t h e Emperor at Rennes. The C,onstitutionnel confirms the denial already given by minor semi-official journals of the exist ence of any negotiations whatsoever fur a mutual disarmament between France and Prussia ; in fact, there are no negotiations at all going on at present between the two courts, " but their relations con tinue to be excellent." It follows from this that both nations continue to cultivate excellence in their Chaasepots and needle guns just as much as if they were on bad terms. The Monde and other clerical papers pretend to know that a Garibaidian movement will shortly take place against Rome, and that it will be sup ported by the regular army, which will, however, this time take care not to come into collision with the Garibaldians, as it will operate on the north, while they will attack from the Nea politan States on the south. This news is very much in conflict, indeed, with all the official intelligence, according to which the moat cordial understanding prevails between the cabinets of Paris and Florence. In several quarters it is affirmed that the convention of September is about to be renewed, and that the French army will entirely evacuate the Roman States next month. By the way, I have seen no confirmation of the news given by the Liberte three or four days ago, of Garibaldi's having appeared at Naples ; and I hold it to be about as true, though not so important, as the statement of the Figaro that the police was endeavouring to arrest Riociotti in England. The two Havre murderers are in custody, and have both confessed. They are both young men from the neighbourhood of Paris ; their names are Maillard, aged 21, and Coate, aged 26. Ac cording to their story they had been in Havre only ten days. Having exhausted their money they went into the eating-house kept by M. Beaugendre, in the Rue des Acacias, with no other intention than that of getting a meal without paying for it ; but that when they saw some money in the till the temptation to get possession of it suggested a crime which they had not before thought of. They stabbed M. Beaugendre and killed him on the spot, and inflicted a most dangerous wound upon his wife, but in consequence af her cries made off without taking any money. The Marquis de Manbreuil d'Orvault has with drawn his suit for a divorce against his wife. After some conversation between the court and counsel, it was agreed, with the unction of the Attorney-I that that part of the evidence which affects Ann -Justice and O'Keefe should be given at a late stage of the we for the prosecution. Mr. Baker Greene informed the court that the prisoners had not had an opportunity of examining the list of jurymen, and quoted authority which he said entitled them to that advantage. The Lord Chief Justice said if an application had been made to the Sheriff and not to the Clerk of Arraigns, there would have been every desire to meet the wishes of the prisoners and their counsel on this pant. No doubt in • case which had created inch sensation as the present the authorities were prepared is every way to promote the ends of justice and to act in the fairest possible spirit, but he was bound to say that the proper course had not been taken in this instance is endeavouring to give the prisoners an opportunity of examining the panel. He also wished to remark that the application was opposed to the practice of criminal couch, and that if the rule were adhered to it would give an op. portunity for en indulgence in frivolous objections, and Or attended with great inconvenience. The clerk of the court then proceeded to cell thou who bad been summoned to act as jurors. After a lapse of half an hour a jury was empanelled. The Attorney-General proceeded to state the cue for the exam. He said he was aware that the circumstances attending the explosion, or at least some of them, most have come within the cognisance of the jury, .ad no doubt had been commented upon by them. lie begged of them to dismiss from their minds any opinions they might have formed, and to coda their attention solely to the evidence which would be adduced before them. The male prisoners were members of the absurd conspiracy known as the Fenian Brotherhood, and were all known to each other, their res pective residences being in the vicinity of Golden-square. Al ter detailing the facts relating to the incarceration of Burke in the House of Detention end the projected scheme for his rescue while being conveyed in the prise van, he referred to the arrival in London at the time in question of the prisoner Barrett or Jackson, and a man known as " Captain" Murphy, and stated it would he proved that those two men were in communication with Mullanyi English, and the two Desmonds. It would be shown that the idea of rescuing Burke from the prison van was abandoned at Burke's own suggestion, and that the arrangement for blowing tip the prism was in reality a scheme which was laid by but, and one sin which all the prisoners, with the exception of Ann Justice, took part. He traced the efforts made by Barrett, William Desmond, " Captain " Murphy, and others to procure gunpowder to blow up the prima and referred to the meeting at William Desmond's house, at which arrangements were made for blowing up the prison on the following day. Burke was aware of what was going on, and it was arranged that a ball should be thrown into the exercise yard of the prison as a signal to him shortly before the explosion. English, O'Keefe, and the two Demimonde were seen in the immediate vicinity of Corporation-lane on the 12th of December, and on the Ertl Timothy Diamond, who, it was alleged, was intoxicated at the time, met a man named Vaughan, who was more or less connected with the conspirators, and told him that the plot was to be executed at 4 o'clock on that day, and that he expected to be blown up. The case spina Act Justice was that she went to the House of Detention with Casey's dinner ; that after having gone with the dime, instead of going away, she remained in the immediate m tinily of the prim:mom found ineenversationwitlit zsothy Desmond, and remained until the explosion actually lest plus, when she was arrested in St. Jetaceevalt. sll marched to prison.

By the Australian papers we learn that a series of pies have warred along the Australian and New Zealand coast., and there appears to have been a very considerable destruction of shipping . The bill of the Star of Tasmania was atten ded with very melancholy incidents. This ship parted from her moor was,d drove on to the beach. Mrs. Baker, a pasienger, brought up from the cabin, and her two little boys and Blaster M'Lean were carried into the forecastle as the safest place, and secured in the bunks. Shortlyafterwards the decks being smashed in, the forecastle was filled with water, Mrs. Baker's two little boys being drowned, Master ii`Lean managing to escape. The maste then went by the board, and the Tempel commenced to break up rapidly. All hands, with Mrs. Baker and Master M'Lmin, took refuge on the starboard bow, the vessel having heeled over on to her port broadside, the water waahingcleanithrough her seams. The first officer jum into the ma to try to carry a line line ashore, but, bei ped ng washed away b the backwater, lost the line, and barely escaped with h i. life. Four men then snommively jumped off ,`the first two getting ashore, but the others being drowned. At last • line was hove aboard, and the remainder of the crew and passengers were takenoff. ESCAPE OF THE SHIP EARL DALHOUSIE. . -- . . - _ This ship left Gravesend for Sydney in November last. About 4 p.m. on the 21st Jan. • slight explosion was heard, as though upon the main deck ; but nothing appeared to account for the noise, and no particular notice wu taken of it. About half-pastB o'clock the following morning, how ever, smoke wee seen to issue from the store-room adjoining the upper hold and the second cabin. The ars im mediately rushed to the saloon, and all, lulu the ladies, did their utmost to aid the efforts made to save the ship. Captain Campbell ordered all the hatches to be battened down, and had the boats got ready for sea This was comp leted by 1 am. Wednesday morning pro visions stowed, and everything done to render • put 10°4 Mafia a loom lOW to the Island of St. Paul's (should lt be found neesamry to abandon the ship), as free from mishap as possible. Just at this time the dm beganto show ileeffupon the main deck, just forward of the main hatch, port side. Ail bands immediately went to the pampa. Upon the decks being opened, the lames rising in • dense main were smothered with wet mile, and till halt-past 7 a.m. water was continually peered in, and the burning or burnt cargo thrown overboard. The movement of some thirty tons showed the fire to be con fined to the upper hold, sad to extend over • large surface of the 'twesn docks, port ode of the ship, extending under the hones on deck. When all immediate fee: of its was our, the main hatch was lifted, and some r:LI burnt cargo thrown overboard, so as to work • passage well round the Deese of the late burning, and by 4 p.m. on Wednesday the ship was running her course before • fair wind, badmen. put. Good unduly winds favoured she ship till Cape Leuwin was peened 6th February. Next day It was blowing a gale from the west, a heavy sea sea running dead aft. About 6 a.m. the windows of the stern cabin were stove in, and a complete wreck made of its contents ; but fortunately the breach was repaired before another sea struck the same plea, or serious damage mast have been done to the poop or cabin. SECOND EDITION. OPENING OF THE FENIAN TRIALs AT THE OLD BAILEY. (THIS DAY.)

The prosecution is conducted by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor• General, Mr. Giff or d, Q . C ., M r. Poland, and Mr. Archibald. Mr. W arner Sleigh appeared f or William Desmond, Ile. Keogh for English, hg e , Straight for Timothy Desmond, and Mr. ildeer Greene for Barrett.

The approaches to the court were crowded with policemen and several of them were placed on duty at different points outside the front prison wall. Admission to the court was by ticket only, the result being that no persons except barristers, report's', witnesses, and a few privileged individuals were allowed to wiener the proceedings. The names of the prisoners are —William Desmond, 38, described as a shoemaker ; Timothy Desmond, 46, tailor ; Nicholas English, 46, tailor.

Mr. Montagu Williams addressing the court mid las had only been instructed on Saturday night in the cum of Anne Justine and O'Keefe, and as he had not made him. self master of them, he prayed for further time to read • the depositions. In doing so he was aware he we, asking their lordships to submit toXcouree which would cause coo. • siderable inconvenience, but as he bad been called upon to perform an Herculean teak he trusted he would receice the indulgence he so much required. It also appeared to him that the case of Ann Justine was e n ti re l y different 1 , from that of O'Keefe. The Lord Chief Justice did not understand upon what grounds Mr.Williaine based his application—whether it t on account of an euaential difference between the cues, i that he had not had time to make himself master of the case. Mr. Willi►ms—My lord, I rely upon both grounds, but more strongly on the ground that I have been instructed so late. The Chief Tastice--Months bare elapsed since the arrest of the prisoners, and I think there wag abtualeit time to take steps necessary for the defence. The granting of your application would be an inconvenience to every. body. PP r V 'A NIIMEN +~.
