Then eaa be tittle doubt that the imposition of • HAM& daty ea Amebae breadstuff., as lam as the Ansel. ems refused to admit Ca adiaa produce at thetawaeona terms, would bars a very great effect in modifying clusive oleos of the people of the United States.

We believe that my little consideration is newesery to show the truth of the LA proposition. If it be conceded, as we are roastsetly told, that Canada is bat a portion of the latish Empire—then it will be sees that she stands in a most saciesaleus position. Forms, pen of sa moire which, in a aeries of yews, may be said to be constantly psychs* Ing breadstu& from the United States, she fines at this so mast that her grids is of lees value by nearly 20 per ant. than it would be in the hands of the people who sell with a wont to the nation to which she heirs's. She knows also that this is sot a consrquenos of her geographies; ridden — sables in the "eternal fitness of %info." as Philosopher Square would say, render. her wheat and Sour lees valuable, this her neighbours. There is only this sliffi-ulty that the U~rgaser poetise of the natioe—that c hich has its seat is the Brltish Isles—bar leg slated in indifference to, or more pro• bebly, in ignorance of, the mollifies of the mail pedal vim mode in Canada. It it were neoresayy for the people Of Great Britain, in order to do a. jetties to make tomegreat lace Sc., we should despair of inducing them to set in our behalf. We have always dose our beet to peewit our fellow anen•rywre from wasting time and Msength, by running after the phentose of protection in Inglend, when that protection is fairly dead and buried. Any proposition calculated to raise the price of bread to the wasumer in B•sland to au spprociable extent, would meet, wean persuaded, only with a rebuff But if Great Banda would take United S•ates breadstuffs only ea payment of a duty, so bat as the United States continued their imposts en our products, there is little raison to suppose that an appreciable Inconvenience would be felt en _pt by agricul turists, lowa:dere, and shipowners of the United ewes. All the rest of the world would still be open to the British eonsumer, and though, doubtless, every re striction has a tend , soy to rides prises to geese ex tent, this could only raise them by ineh • friction of value as to be of no possible object in the meal n of a great pricciple i so full of important melts to Eogland's MOIL wasiderablecoleny. For these moons we I look upon the scheme which we have described at very ra tional, end extremely likely to produce a reeiproeity of all vantage from a 09•1111”00 with our own eloustrymen, which the Americans just now canteive to monopolise. In addition to this pressure, which we may bring to beat through the British goverement, we may also hope to 'Stet something by withholding the benefit of the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, and other commercial advents's', which we have Wear own bands. At any rate. as we have already meutioned, I. ais and in preceding ankle., the several provincial go momenta are making every exertion to bring about the Ili• sired reciprocity, and no inviable means that can be sag Bested will, wear. amend, be spared in the attempt. INSURRECTION AT CORFU. The Vienna paper Of the 14th inst. contains the following later particulars of the insurrection at Coda. The last accounts from Cephalonia represent the inearrection as on the increase. On the 2nd a steamer returning from that island to Corfu brought sews that the number of troops sent was too small to produce any effect, and that the appearance of so ineafficient a force had emboldened more than die turd the rebels. The Lord Commissioner repaired in woos, with reinforcement', to the scene of the oatbroak, whiter all disposable troops from &tate were also seat. It seems that Mr. Ward had a narrow escape, a soldier havisg ben shot at his side. The courts-martial are in foil swing : seven insurgents have been shot and hanged, and tour more are to morrow to suffer the same fate. The governsient of the lonian 'sirs has allowed the debarestion of the Venetian emigrants Mania, Toatueo, and others, which arrived by the French steamer Pluto ; but on account of the prevalence of cholera in Venice all passengers from theses were subjected to a quarantine of 12 days. The Lord Commissioner, in a note to the Fret ch consul, ex pressed the millings'ss of the government on this occasion to make an surplice in favour of the re fugees; bat that, se a general rule, fugitives would not be allowed to land, on account of the small force present in the islands to remedy any mischief that might arise Thos the agitation of such dangerous gnats. Tenneco and Mania were going to London, Pepe to Paris ; many of the others to Constantinople and Alexandria. But the :equity remain in Greece. THE MINISTERREFUGEE& THE ITALIAN Ma. HOUR TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. To the Right Hoe. Len Jelin RewelL MT Lona,--As chairman, for the time being, of a committee of members of parliament and other gen tlemen, which has been formed in ald of the Italian (Roroan) refugees in this country, I ant desired, in their name, to address your lordship, as the head of her Majerty's government , with revisit to the recent conduct of the governor of Malta in refusing as asylum to the refugees hut Rome. The broad facts of the case, as brought to the at tention of the government and the House of Commons on the closing day of the late session of parliament (facts which have been corroborated and developed is greater detail by subsequent information), are more than sufficient warrant to address your lordship, with out reference to any individual MN. The Gorerror of Malta has thought fit to refuse • landing at Milts to political refugees from the Roman States, who took ship for that island, relying with confidence ea passports sited by the English consul at Civil& Vecchia or at Rome, Had there been rye:seeable mums to apj ehend any telsoooduct on the part of than unarmed refugees the garrison of Malta was rarely a place where sufficient security could have been taken agaiast such a con tingency : whilst, in considering the probabilities of so unworthy a rs , urn for the hospitality they claimed, it should not have been forgotten by a -British °Warm 40 high in office as the Governor of Malta that the unfortunate wanderers were of the number of these defenders of the city of Rome who had won the re spect of the civilised world by an observance of law and order and of constitutional government within its walls es remarkable as the valour and humanity they displayed in ka defence. Amidst all the diversities of opinion, in this and in former times, concerning the foreign policy ot our country, there is one rule of conduct which has been THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1849.

If his lordship would refer to the 12th erotica of the get, he would find K set oat in express brass that, in ease of aoeseempliaree with the orders of the Board of Health, it was the poor-law cos missioners who were to compel the boards of guardians to obey such orders. That fact alone would ..title his to walk out of coon with his clients, as the Baud of Health had sot applod to the commissioner' at all. His loused friend tied him up to the legal question, had if be MOM remitted he could show that his clients had Tinselly and • all the requirements of the Board of Health before they had heard of the order. He was boated now by a badly drawn act of parliament, but at the same time it wet not to go forth that the City guardians had ',gloated their decks. If he cad Mr Grainger in the box Ite could have the benefit of that gentleman's testimony in their favour. The RICORDZR said that the au empowered the Board of Health to call ea the poor law isommissioners to wafer* their orders. It appeared that they had cwt done so. Mr. CLARIBON.—Your lordship lise andsipated my whole answer. They bad that power, sad did sot exorcise it. Mr. CLARISON.—Toe act empowned them also LOMB en the owns' of premises to have them doused, and there was no evident* that they Lad done so. Why had not the owners been called ? It sees only in their default that the guanines were liable. He submitted that where a penalty was to be natured, he wasemitled to the strictest interpre tation of the law. The Loan MATO' said it was desirable that mach a goa ds should not be derided on mere teohnioalities. Kr. Cutlass contended that after the first general di me/kw of tee Board of Health, ail subsequent details were the merinos of the board of guardians and that before the latter wore made res ponsible for soy se; it should be shown teat it was their duty to do it either corporately or indivi dually Suppose that the gueriiees at once carried out the directios of the comnessloners, and that afterwards when their accounts come before the auditors, they refused to pass them on the ground that the money of the union had been illegally spent, what remedy had the 'Gordian& ? Under ell the oirounwancts, be felt justified in availing himself of the criat provisions of the act. The BSCONDIa said that the public would not be satisfied if such a question were decided on technicalities. Would it art be better to come to en accommodatiou ? Mr. CLAItLSON said that it was implied that his clients had nig:eyed their duty. Why bad they been brought there as ersinals ? The BICORDILIt suggested that the summons might b' withdrawn, on the unuentanding that the guardians would comply with the order. Mr. CLARKSON dented that an order had been Issued. A recomme , dation had been Sued, bat addressed to noted The commissioners should themselves go into the City, and see what state it was in. The Loom klAroa said there could be no doubt but that the City was in a very good state of health at present. Atter some dhession as to the possibility of a eons. promise, Mr. CLeadsox said he had no discretion except on the withdrawal of the osmotic Ihe RECORDIa then suggested an adjournment, to give time for some arrangement. Mr. CLAAKSON would undertake th et when the Board of Health made a legal order, it would be obeyed by his clients. Mr. BODKIN would rather take a decision from his lord. ship thin w.thdraw the summons. Mr. CLARKSON repeated his legal objectless; first, that the Board of Health had no power to issue such detailed orders as they had done to the was/dittos I next, that they had rerun issued them orders in the proper manner. Mr. BODKIN roes to Mr. Cianicsoit objected, on the ground that he (Mr. Clarkson) had called no whammies me ItICOILDia ~led that ear. rinelLia• altool/ t.. Ls., J. Mr. BODKIN, is reply, read the section of the act bearing on the ea.e, and contended, generally, that the commissioners had full powers to issue the orders S. y had issued, and that the guardians were compelled to obey them. The commis sioners w. re entitled to spicily the act' they thought neces sary, gm otherwise their powers would be wholly useless in a ease like the present. The object was the yublic good, and it should not be overruled by mere technicalities. The Bacosom said that the question was one of very great Sponse., and, therefore, his advice to the Lord Meyer was, to talc , time to consider his decision. Toe LORD MATOR said that he was is the hands of the learned Recorder, and must therefore reserve hb decision until be had more carefully considered the points at Slue.

Bra,—l have had the honour of receiving your letter of ths 31st of August—written in your capacity of ohms ima of a committee of members of parliament and ease. rakish has been formed in aid of the Ita lian (Eeow) velegess in this country—complathing ed Ilme aoudad of the Governor of Malta. Lord Grey has sent me all the papers which have reference to the conduct of Mr. More O'Ferrall, Gover nor of Malta, to the Italians who sought refuge. It has bees oar prude., as you truly observe, " to extend a generous and fearless hospitality to political exilesof every class, from every country, =dui every muse." You may remember that, on the occasion of the French revolution of February, 1848, when you asked me a question in the House of Commons , I adverted to this honourable practice, end expressed my de:er mination to adhere to it. I may observe, that the refugees in this country at present are "of every class, from every country, and in every cause ;" and a proof is thus afforded how well the usual rule has been observed. The Governor of Malta, however, was of opinion that, although the refugees from R ome (not Roman refugees, in great part) might safely be allowed to proceed to England, he could not be responeible for their remaining in Malta. They were therefore de tained on board ship for some ten days or a fortnight, with the exception of the sick, and of the women and children, who were allowed to land. You are probably aware that there has existed during the past year a Dort of circulating society of revolutionists, who have appeared sometimes in Pans, sometimes in Berlin, sometimes in Baden ; and who were especially in great strength and numbers at Rome. It is not consistent with the peace and good govern ment of Mal , s, although it may be consistent with the peace and security of London, to have numerous bands of this revolutionary msocistion at Malta. It would be as pleasant an occupation to them to stir up dimensions in Malta as to head a riot in Berlin or in Baden. One of these refogres was avowedly only taking Malta in his way to VI nice, to assist in defending that city against the besieging troops. After all, what has been the hardship inflicted ? These pawls were in no danger of their lives while they were on board a French vessel. They were not detained longer than a vessel put in quarantine. They teak their prunes(' to England, or to Greece if they amt. They were prevented from disturbing Malta, and that was all. Lord Grey has therefore, with my full ;concur rence, expressed his appribation of the course pursued by the Governor of Malta. I have the honour to be, &c., &c., (Signed) J. RUSSELL. P.S. I presume there is no doubt of the legality of the course pursued by the Governor of Malta? zbe court.

Last evening a public meeting took place at the Borough-road Chapel, for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings of the remit Pesos Congress. There was a numerous attendance. Edmund Fry, Esq., one of the deputation from this country to Paris, was present, as were three &peel's from America. B. FAT, iatroduced the business with a brief mune of the promedinits at the late Correa. After noticing the popular feeling heretofore prevailinr, that France and Bee lend we natural enemies, and the effect produced 15 or 18 month* ago by the publication of the Duke of Wellington's alaamiet letter, be observed that this had stimulated the members of the Pesos Societe to greaten efforts for the diffusion of their principles. The Duke's pe dieted invasion bed been fulfilled in one sense, by the visit of the French national plaids and others, who, in a manner, took possession of London for • erode, and did what they liked in it, paying however for all they pt. (Chews.) These men had returned to their country as public bistros. tors, and had done more to destroy the feelings of hosti li ty to England th an could have been effected had the Duke boos allowed to bristle the southern coast with martello towels. (Cheers.) The way being thus prepared. measures were taken for bolding the Peace Congress in Paris—the great , object of that gathering being to renege the people to do that i which their governments never could nor would do,—to secure the blessings of permanent and nnivenal pewee. (lieu.) The first congress at Brussels had been eminently successful in establishing the value of the principle of inter national communication. No sooner was the Paris congress announced than the Times and other journals covered the proposal with ridicule. It was said the novelty ,of the flirt meeting being past, there would I not be more than 100 present at the second. Seven hundred deputies, however, English and I American, eft this country on the 22nd of August. (Cheers.) l 'They were enthusiastically received at Boulogne, and notes* woo the formality of passports dispensed with, but the usual siestas hexes inquisition was foregone—such was the deMes reposed by the French government in the character of thatreifters. (Beer, hear.) Arriving at Paris, they found X, IMMO attention paid them by the evert, the ball of St. Cecile being Owed at th tai ogee !swivel' the countenances of V UM; Gimes, X. Coopers!, and other eminent Fremantle. Their sittings occupied three days, daring which the pees sad war quesfion was dimmed in el its ph an resein 'Dens pawed in favour of the principles of natl oaa l addles ' Des. (Bear, hear.) If no other rev 't followed from this empens, one most intportant one Zuld be that the two understood each other better than ever they had Imo Bad this taken place fifty years ago, Pitt sad Nage leen could never have committed the two °matelot M • twenty years' war. (Chews.) The next congress email MU place at Frankfort, in September, 1850. In the maneline, let the people of each country examine these pm* principles by the light of the New 'Testament, end tiff could not fail to na t ive general support. (Hew.) Xr. A. War tnn said the two Peace Congresses had me I desoi their question, hitherto col fined so England and Eineolei, a world's Win . qu Peace cowmen were now a I SLA bat. (Cheers.) reforms were effected by the people ; wed so 'must the peace reform. (Bear, hear.) TIN old he maxim, " In times of peace peepers for war," though false and shard, wee still most popular. Its absurdby was evident, for every one knew that the we.rl;ke preparations of one country invariably led to greater peepers Pons on the part of others; and theta there was a westant and Managing rivalry in military expenditure. The only remedy for this was a national agreement for • partial dis armament, which would be a double, benefit--by reducing the national expenses, and increseing its proet.aatiga power at the ems* time. The undoubted result ot untaia a mune would he pesos, the wane end incentives of war ming taken away. Sines 1816 Great Britain had expended !IS =Mime ruling in preparation for war ; and aft*, all the Duke of Wellington told them the ee with nit defence, sad 40,000 Frenchmen might take ludon. (Rear, hear.) If this were true let the people apply their good Anatolia= sense to the subject and put an end to these useless preparations, which absorbed 17s. 6d. of every p o u nd of to e ither as prism expenditure or the interest of the past.

After tier had been journeying through the gloom, white the darhasso grew thicker, the terror greater, the strokes of mortality nearer and everywhere wangle, the light heel, to claws, and the prayer—half supplication, half thanksgiving—rose of itself from Ike hearts of the people. These great eats of religion are rarely performed in Eng land ; and whether the earnestness of the nation or the truth. of GA is regarded, the prayer for health has a much more IMltioo/ import hem than the ceremonial rites of paganism in Penis, Greece, or Some ; yet there it would hay. bees doused Impiety to ask the leases* or the earlier and later rains, unless the land were tilled and the seed sewn ; or to implore victory for their arms, ezoept *sash the valour of well-equipped armies.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, 81111.1.. 19. The Evening PaeLet, of last night, reports that a police barrack at Cappoquin was attacked on the lath instant, by a mob of nearly 200 persons, and that a severe collision took place with the police. No ether intelligence oa this matter has reached the newspaper offices here, so it is to be expected that the report is exaggerated. The communication runs thus : About ten o'clock, p.m., on the 16th September instant, *early two hundred persons, armed with guns and pikes, attacked the C ,ppoquin police barrack. There were two of the police on town duty and seven in the barrack. Constable Power fortunately received a , me report that the snack was fa eentemplation a few minutes before it onmeneed ; the stem made a most pliant resistance, firing out eighteen shots, by which James Donoughoe, cne of the storming party, was killed, receiving three bullets through the heart. The insurgents then, leavieg forty-four pikes on the battle field. Four prisoners were arrested &antecede, but seemly a you,/ man is to be bad in the town who has not fle d. Lord Stuart de Rules, Sirs Charles Shaw, Richard Kane, Richard Musgrave, and P. C. Bowler, Et(l us busily engaged inquiring into the particulars of this daring outrage. The two policemen who were on town duty were badly wounded by the piketnen, one of them having re ceived no fewer dim seventeen wounds. Rsguisitions have ' been sent off by Mr. Rowley for a military force, to be stationed at two potato, so as to intercept the retreat of the insurgents. Your correspondent yesterday saw several potato fields on the borders of the county of Wicklow, in which the blight had blackened and withered all the stalks. The roots, on examination, appeared "to be going," as the peasants in the fields exprceerd it Both the Beklist News and the Banner of Ulster give: decided reports that the die 'anis spreading feet in the north, and is attacking the tubers. This is melancholy intelligence, and it stems only too likely that a vast portion of the crop will be lost. However, there is a vast deal of focd in the country, and we may escape the worst horrors of a famine, bat our secret revolution will proceed still further, and gentry must be prepared to tall further in the social scale. The county of CJI k magistrates have held a meet ing, at which, after a desultory discussion, it was re solved not to reduce the constabulary of the county, as it was thought inexpedient, while the crops are seized upon in some parts of the south, to diminish the strength of the authorities. Lola Mentes proves to be a Corkonian ; at least the Cork Constitution, a journal of particular accuracy in local matters, and very well informed, has the follow ing statement in a prominent part of its number for yesterday : LOLA /110111118.—Tbis celebrated woman is the daughter of a Cork lady. Rer mother was a member of a millinery establishment in this city, the partners in which were the mother of the Countess of Lsaderelt, her enter, and two step sisters. Ihe mother was married in this city to Lieut Gil bert, the father of Lola, who was an officer in the army. and shortly after sailed from this port with his wife to join his regiment, the 21st Semen Native Infantry. Lola's mother, who is in declining health, psi 1 a visit to her sister in this city at the &lose et last year. The Right Rev. Dr. Murphy was consecrated R.C. Bishop of Cloyne and Roes, on Sunday, in Fermoy chew!. The report on the state of the national education system, by Mr. Kavanagh, the head inspector of Munster, is very interesting and has important facts. The gross ignorance of English literature shown by the teachers is a startling fact as described by Mr. Kavanagh. He says that numbers of them have science and classics enough to pass the sizarship examination in Trinity College, Dublin, yet know no thing of English author., nor scarcely anything even of Irish literary celebrities (except the mere names), such as Edgeworth, Griffin, Goldsmith, and many others. The fact is remarkable, and painfully important. It is of the greatest eon ',einem* to diffuse a love for reading in Ireland, and the wane of libraries for the poor is a great evil- To do justice to the Young Irelandere (however Mill.. c , ievous in other respects), they laboured hard to. rouse the working classes to make voluntary easels for forming book clubs.
