This Dar -ussata. SW 1. Taroasow-111=1.6 - LONDON, 11W17, AVOW 91. WHAT a lesson it is. that we have lived to bear the news of Ireland which now comes by every mail! The aristocracy have thrown off their debt by the sacrifice of some of their land. No fear of arrest, no spectacle of tumble-down man sions, acrd land relapsing to waste, and a starving peasantry—no horror of a shot from the ditch need now keep the Irish proprietor in foreign countries, when his heart is at home. Everybody knows that many of the estates of Ireland have changed hands within a few years; but most of us have exaggerated the number of immigrating pro- prietors, because the introduction of Scotch and English methods of farming is conspicuous among the redeeming influences which have changed the faced the country. Improved agriculture is widely prevalent ; but the number of Scotch and English proprietors is insignificant in comparison with Irish purchasers. The fact seems to be that a very large amount of Irish capital, which was before invested in the English funds, has new found a better destination at home. What must have been the insecurity of property when millions of Irish money were fetching the low interest of the funds, while the lack of capital was depressing every hope of social improvement ! That is all over now. The land and the money have accomplished a part nership ; and the consequence is an amount of pro duction which no prophecy would have made an ancient Irishman believe in, and a rise of wages which has sapped the political schemes of the Young Ireland agitd ton. Men who earned sixpence a day in O'Cos,tr.t.L's time now get eight/et:pen°, in ordi nary seasons, and half-a-crown and three shillings with their food in this present month of August. Comtism need to say that when the Irish ceased to live on " mere roots," rage and wretchedness would cease; and greatly would he glory in his prophecy if he were living now. The people still eat and relish potatoes; but there are very few of them who would now be satisfied with the potato alone. The steam mills which are rising up all over the island to meet the popalu demand for flour and meal tell a most cheering tale; and one resells for the remarkable rise of wages is that the men work so much better than formerly, from being better fed. No scarcity of labour would induce the farmers to pay se they do, if the work done were no awe than formerly. The workhouse return, show a wonderful change, even from 1853 to 1864; a reduction of the numbers is the workhouses, side by side with a con siderable incluse& in the production of the workhouse farms, and other kinds of workhouse industry. The mortality in the gaols is reduced; and yet more strik ing is the falling off in the number of criminals. Such an assize as the last was never known in Ireland eines courts were established. White gloves made their appearance at more places than one : and the offences were, for the most part, of a light character, in the place of the fearful murders and barbarous outrages which used to make the Irish circuits the most tra gical facts in the empire. Instead of Ribbon lodges on the one hand, and hedge schools on the other, we have now extensive industrial enterprises and schools of a high order, into which hundreds of thousands of children are pressing, to be trained for the vinuous citizenship of the next generation. All the while, new branches of industry are opening for them; new relations with England are arising ; •and differences are dissolving from day to day. Take the following as one instance of the changes visible. Travellers in Ireland know the difficulty of getting cheese there, and the absurd price of it, even in Clare and Kerry, where the hills are covered with cattle. Cheese has been imported, so as to sell at ls. 4d. per lb., in the very districts where butter is made for exportation. Not a single cheese was made; and nobody had the spirit to try. Now, a cheese as good as Cheshire is produced, by the enterprise of English settlers, and mold at 6d. per lb. This new product will be a source of wealth in those parts of the country where gazing has taken the place of arable farming on the one hand, and mere smote on the other. Thus are new products one after another introduced, from one end of the industrial scale to the other: and thence comes the increased intercourse with England which brings together meetings at the Mansion-house, and origi nates arrangements all along the line, to enable mails and passengers to be exchanged batmen Dublin and London, twice a day. LOSS OF THE GUN-BOAT JASPER. The Admiralty, we understand, have received offi cial confirmation of the loss of the gunboat Jasper, reported with detail :in the Express of Wednesday week. The Jasper can lees conveniently be spared just now from our Eastern squadron than some vessels of larger armament, her two gnus having recently done service at points sot to be approached by the Miranda' and Terrible' of the fleet. Bhe was last employed off Taganrog. The Russians make out a consequential relation between her loss and a shot from one of her guns, which a few hours before ate tick the wall of a minster where the faithful were engaged in holy offices. As the boat was on her way to rejoin the squadron, she ran aground about 100 yards from the shore. One of those sudden falls to which inland seas are liable upon a change of wind. soon left her more and more aground, and she settled firmly is the sand. In this situation she was exposed to a firs of musketry from • party of Cos. socks of the Doe, who had been attracted to the scene. the crew, finding it impossible to save the sea m!, left her, whereupon the Cossacks approached and set the wreck on fire. The Hetnaan of these Cossacks produces a flag, which be affirms was taken from the Jasper.

It is stated in well informed circles in Paris that orders have jest been given to send reinforcements to the Crimes, to the number of 60,000 men. THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON. Norwegian papers state, on the authority of letters received from Wardii, the most northern town of the kingdom, that the White Bea squadron had captured two Russian ships and a small steamer, which latter had bees employed for a long time in keeping up a communication with Archangel. According to these accounts, the squadron was preparing', to quit the White Bea, unmistakable signs being visible that the short summer of that high latitude was speedily drawing to a close, and warning them return to a more temperate climate.

The Pugh; do laßootroo of Berlin says that Austria has declared that she will treat according to military law every individual found tampering with Austrian soldiers, or with any persons subject to military regula tions, with a view of inducing them to join the Anglo-talian Legion. A great number of Lombard, Venetian, French, and Neapolitan officers, demand admission into the Anglo. Italian Legion. Colonel Ribffi, who took part in the insurrections of the Romagna, in 1843 and 1846, and in the movement of the Calabrians in 1848, and who has just left the prisons of Naples after an im- ' peitioament of six years, has been named commander of a regiment, and commissioned to organise a legion. Colonel Count Zambecoari, of Bologue, who is the terror of the retrograde governments of Italy, hr. also arrived at Turin, to take service in the legion. The nomination of Garibaldi to the grade of cap tain of the Piedmontese Marine of the first class, causes much uneasiness to the governments of Rome and Naples—more especially as he is to command two steamers plying between Genoa and Smart and will thus be constantly by the side of the shores of these two countries. At Naples the Court is the prey b strong appre hensions, and the most lively fears are entertsined of a movement in Sicily. VIENNA, THURSDAY.

PARIS, THURSDAY EYINING. ___, Prime Albert left St. Cloud at a quaTter pest 10 this morning to pay a business-like visit to the Uni versal Exhibition alone. He came in a ehar-a-banc, accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Col. Phipps, and without any escort. He entered the building at the principal door in the Champs Elyse's, and was received by Prince Napoleon, M. Fould, and M. La Play. He proceeded systematically to walk round the nave, and c MS of the lateral galleries, and after having made a most minute inspection of a great many stalls, he proceeded to the Rotunda, where the Queen staid so long yesterday. He after wards returned to the Pattie, went up stairs, and staid a long while in the upper galleries. The sea son-ticket holders, who alone were admitted on this °cession, did not of course muster in anything like such numbers as they did yesterday to see the Queen. It was not found necessary to fence off the nave with rope., which the public could not pass, as was done yesterday. A few sergens de *ills kept a sufficient open space to enable his Royal Highness to walk about freely. I hear the demeanour of his Royal Highness very much praised by exhibitors. He conversed in the most sans facon manner with a great many, listened attentively to the observations made to him, frequently smiled, and appeared to take a great interest in all that be saw. I am the more happy to record the favourable ins-. 1 precision which his Royal Highness's coodact pro &toed to-clay, from the fact that at the Opera the other evening it was remarked that he was taciturn and reserved. The Prince left the Palais de rip dustrie at a little before two o'clock, and went to the Tuileries to wait for the arrival of the Queen and the Emperor from Bt. Cloud. The Queen arrived at the Tuileries at half-past 2, half an boor later than the time mentioned in the programme. The heat was intense at that time ; and partly in consequence of the beat, which many shrank from encountering, and partly because of a rumour that her Majesty would not leave the cool shades of St. Cloud till the sun had somewhat abated the intensity of his rays, there were bat few people assembled in the precincts of the Palace at the mo ment of her arrival. In the Place du Carrousel where every stone was so hot that you might bevel baked a loaf upon it, there were not at two o'clock more people than usual. In the Tuileries Gardens, as soon as the posting of a few sergens de ville on either side of the grand avenue leading to the Pavil lon de l'Horloge indicated that the Imperial car riages were approaching, the nurserymaids, children, and mammas, the newspaper and novel readers, and the ladies who delight to do crotchet work under the chesnat trees, ran out from the tnauffs, and formed lines to spe the arrival, and their numbers being but very slightly augmented by a few casual promenaders, the rank was a single one, so that every body could see well. Their Majesties and suite arrived in travelling carriages and four with the Imperial poet-horses. The Queen and the Printout, Royal sat together. The Emperor we. on the oppo site mat. There was no fourth person in their can After luncheon the Brormite 'Deducted her Majesty to the picture-galleries of the Louvre. The Royal and Imperial party entered the galleries by the door communicating with the interior of the Tuileries, so that the public saw nothing of her Majesty's visit to the Louvre. No person not in the immediate suite of their Majesties was admitted to the galleries. It is reported and has even been printed in an edition of e Paris newspaper already sent into the country this evening that, after leaving the Louvre, her Majesty paid the projected visit to Vinoennes this afternoon. It would not even surprise me if circumstantial accounts were to be circulated throughout Europe, describing the &monitions in the Faubourg St. Antoine, and the en thusiasm of the people as her Majesty passed the Barriers du Trone. All such descriptions, however, will be pure invention, for up to the hour at which I write her Msjesty had not left the Tuileries. She dines there to-day en j'aerille at seven o'clock, and afterwards gm* to the grand ball at the Hotel de The Queen made two purchases at the Exhibition yesterday. It is more than probable that she made others, but I have only as yet heard of these two. One was a broor.e cast, executed by M. De La brow, of the exquisite pica) of sculpture exhibited in the Fine Arts Exhibition. by M. Geste—the Bel gian artist—the "Lion in Love." The Queen ex pressed herself so mush pleated with her purchase, that M. Fould thought it would be a delicate oompli- 1 meat to send it to St. Cloud immediately, and she found it in her bedroom in the evening. Her Ma jesty also bought (for 1,5000 a fan made by Duvellc roy, embellished by a painting of "Les Jeudia de rlmpiratrice." the subject of which is the Empress, when a child, distributing charity, which it was her habit to do once a week. I understand that Prince Albert made a great I many purchress in the Exhibition today. PARIS, FRIDAY MOZNING. Her Majesty hes conferred upon Prince Napoleon and General Canrobert the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Bath. Prince Jerome oomes to Paris on Sunday to present his homage to the Queen. Her Majesty went at 11 o'clock last night to the greed ball at the Hotel-de-Ville. There has been a considerable fall at the Bonne. The Route, which has been heavy all the week, dropped to-day 400. for money, and 800. for time. The latest cash price was Mfr. 500. Although there are sinister meows about a oheet before the Malakoff Tower, and there was a good deal of talk about a ministerial crisis at Vienna, the state of the "house" was thought to amount for the fall. Credit Mobilier fell 18fr. 750. Lyons and Mediterranean fell 17fr. 80c. All the lines were lower. TO-DAY'S The programme of the fete. given this day in honour of her llidesty has Imo siodltied ri follows, at &coolant of the great best : At half-put nine the Emperor and his Royal Highness Prince Albert visit the chateau of Vincennes. At ose o'clock, lunch at the Toil . . At hilt-past two visit of their Majeagas to the Industrial Exposition. At four o'clock the Court return to the Tuileries. At fire o'clock, grand review at the Champ de Marv. All the regiment, of the Imperial Board now In Paris end the neighbourhood, the troops of the garrison of Paris, of the army of the East of France, and of the let Military Di vision will he pram,. At coven o'clock, dinner at the Tuileries. At half-put sight o'clock their Majesties go to the Opus ICoraigao. THE QUEEN'S LUNCHEON. An anntsiog some occurred in the Exposition on Wedamday while the Queen was in the Rotunda, where the Cuban tapestries, the Sinus china, and the crown jewels are exhibited. Her Majesty had taken es much in terest In the Exhibition, and had of herself diverged so often from the course laid down to make excursions into different galleries to examine various products that the Emperor feared she must be tired. There appeared, too, considerable doubt whether or not her Majesty would return through the main bailding to the Champs Elysies, leaving the " A aaaaa " for Friday next. The general expectation was that she would re turn, and people stood for upwards of an hour is the vestibule which separates the Rotunda from the Petah, is the hopes of seeing her well. Presently it became ru moured that her Majesty was certainly going through the Annexe to-day, but that the Emperor had insisted that she should first take some refreshment. Au usher ran in crest but, to Chevet's buffs., sad returned immediately with a waiter, bringing a bottle of Madeira, some sponge biscuits, two or three peaches, and some grapes on a tray. This simple refreshment he carried tato the Rotunda for the Queen of England. A few moments later Count Bedsits:chi was seen to run frantimlly towards the buffet, stooping down to pas' under the cord which separated the crowd from the space kept open for the Royal and Imperial party, and forcing his way through the closely-packed spectators. He came back by the same route, followed by a waiter bearing a little round garden table and a tablecloth. Upon this it was intended that the Queen's frugal repast should be served with somewhat more comfort than ow a tray. But the proffered luxury arrived too lac. Her Majesty had already finished her fairy-like luselmoo, and the table and cloth were at once brought bask amidst considerable laughter. A despatch from General La Marmon states that the number of killed and woaaded in the Sardinian con tingent, at the battle of Tehernaya, amounted to 600. The Post dove Gasette contains a letter from Kiel, which says:—" It is clearly Jemmied to undertake, in the 00111410 l this year, WM important operations in the Baltic, reinforcements for the fleets continue to uric*. To-day, two mortar-boats have come in, and four others are exported in a few days." It is said that the visit of Print* Frederick of Netherlands to the Swedish Court has political motives.

Lad Puma, hu this day reoeived a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by General Simpson : Before Sebastopol, Aug. 11, 11164.- My Lord,—l bad the honour to acquaint you that during the past week the army has been unceasingly employed in strengthening and improving the ad vanced works, which are now so close to the enemy, that it is with the greatest difficulty any approach can be made. By the casualty return which I enclose your Lordship will regret to see a large number, though the proportion of wounded over the killed is considerable. Brevet-Major Macgowan, of the 93rd, is supposed to have fallen a prisoner into the hands of the enemy. I have caused a letter to be addressed to the Go vernor of the place, to ascertain his fate, but up to this time I have received no answer.

THE FOREIGN LEGION. HELIGOLAND, Anorer 20. Her Majesty's steam vessel Alban arrived here on Friday, and embarked yesterday 150 recruits for the camp at Shorncliffe. Upwards of 100 floe young men arrived here from the north of Germany during the course of last week, and yesterday another batch (136) landed on the island and reported themselves to the commanding officer. Colonel von Steinbach is quite adored by the troops, who speak of him with the warmest enthusiasm. It is true he treats them himself with the greatest humanity, and will not suffer them to be bullied or punished. He is always ready to hear their com plaints and redress their grievances. There are at this moment 2.50 recruits again here, and the Alban is under orders to return to this island the latter end of this week to fetch them. On the whole, the number of recruits sent to England amounts to 1,750, so that the second thousand will now be complete. The money that was expected for the pay of the reeruits and indemnification of the inhabitante for their potatoe fields taken for the camp of wooden huts has not arrived, and this has created some dis content amongst the Heligolanders.
