Every Individual who has a relish for a cup of rod tea,—to say nothing of a taste for fair dealing or a distaste to grasping--ahould patronize these lectures, one of the objects of which is to put down the odious monopoly of the India Company,. the effect of which is to make the people of this country pay twice as much for their tea as Is paid by the rest of Europe and America.

Nothing, then, but a pretty general acquaintance with the coun try, and the various conditions of its inhabitants, can enable any one to form a just judgment for himself, and much less qualify him to instruct others. apes this interesting subject. The writer of this paper lays claim to that general acquaintance, or be would not attempt even the brief iketch of Irish character which be now resumes to offer. It has been said that the hues of Irish charac ter vary namely, according to the light in which they are seen: This is true, to some exam. of the national character of all coun tries ; but that which individualises Ireland in this respect, is the greatness of the degree of variation. An Englishatao is e row Is not exactly the same thing as an Englishman in peaceable, friendly society; but an Irishman in a row seems to beds' utterly a dif ferent being from what he is, apart from all row-lab circumstances Take him in friendly, social society. you will End his heart as soft and manageable as your canvas bag of gunpowder, which lies in the corner; bring hint in contact with some caching cause, and the Awe and wild uproar of that quiet heart, is like that of the bag of powder, when a casual spark has fatless upon it. What is the obvious inference? That Irishmen, like gunpowder, should be managed with ezceediag are; that causes of eacitement should be kept away, and strong security provided in ease elan esplusion. Has this been the case ?—Alas! let the page of Irish history, let the record of English management, give the answer, and then, let Eogileinnen proceed to pour scorn spat the Irish with what ap penile they may. It is a melancholy troth in the history of human mature, that we are gaudily disposed to despise sad hate thaw whom we are coasdous we have injured, and an much the more, as the injured party abstains from bold and manly resistance to our oppression. We defend our iniquity upon the ground that we have been suffered to continue in it, and like most things which Nature teaches, there is, even in this, some good reason. Why did the Irish bear so long with a system of English Governeness, gess: rally as despicable in strength, as it was wretched in policy?— Hoe can hardly think upon this. without feeling that them is some muse foe &glad* scorn towards Ireland. Looking along the line of Irish hi.tory for four hundred years after, the ars coming of the English, oppot canted occurred, time after time, almost as numerous as the years of dash degraded existence, when the Irish. by the least united effects, might ham burled all the English in their country into the sea, after that mos Der, of which the cold and bloody Henry de Most Maurisco, had taught them a fearful 'sample ; but De such effort was made, or if it was, it was bet for an instant, and the attach on the common enemy was abandoned, that they might light amongst themselves. Their national character, which has scarcely been amended by time, was at the bottom dike. They were only roused to exer tion by aped excitement.witicia,:on the least reverse, or even delay, was succeeded by a no less mad despair, sad their conduct more resembled the action of a frantic poet's dream, than that of men supporting a cause the most sacred, next to the cause of Goa, for which man can persist, and for which be ought to peril every thing, not excepting life itself. But this reference to history is somewhat more than was in tended ; ist it, for the present, be our teak to look at Ina cha racter as it is seen Moved over the wide surface of society ; or, to speak with more correctness of Azure, mingled with the isobsunce of society, and forming some of not the lean poignant particles of that heterogeneous mass. It is erroneous to suppose that the Irish are altogether the creatures of excitement ; they are nut deficient in judgment, nor without knowledge of principle, nor disobedient to their dictates ; but, undoubtedly the operstions of judgment, and the 'hedonics to principles of duty, are more mingled with passion and feeling than they are bete, and more than they ought to be any where; but while this combination of feeling with duty fre quently leads to bad results, from the latter being overbore, by its companion, still it also leads to much that is very delightful, and that irresistibly wins upon the affections. In short, the suscepti bility of feeling, and liability to excitement a the Irish, are like wings to our English motives of action, and may be used either to See to do evil, or to do good. That they frequently bear Irishmen so to headlong evil, is quit* true ; that they frequently bear Irish men, and very frequently Irish women, towards what is good, I. true also. Irish morality has too much of_ mere sentiment in it; the paint of a nour is more frequently their also, than the point of duty ; common, unadorned honesty has scarcely sellcient owlet in its appearance to win their approbstion, and the man will peril his life for his master, who would not scruple to cheat him of ' eighteenpence. This is not exactly as it should be, sad in the ordinary transactions of life is highly incesivadent, dace. through modern uraogessente. one's property is so muck mere liable to attack than one's life.end is in the aggregate. almost of the same impdrtance u the njistonee which it supporta.

Herein there is, indeed, spopiA . Ima ow se sambied one; • tbe' eeiteary. he resell, Se% WI lie surface, rained / There is no country in Europe to which the national character of the Irish bears so little analogy, as it does to that of the country to which it is polkally baited. France, Austria, Spain, Italy, hive numerous traits of character in 000111100 with the Irish , Ragland has scarcely any. The characteristics of Englishmen are judgment, calmness, regularity, fixedness to one pursuit. and a love of solid realities. Moreover, they are the most serious people un der the sun, and (under favour) their seriousness is as often the re sub of want of thought, as of profound thinking. Now the Irish ' man's character is in all things precisely contrary—his judgment is ever varying in the gale of Ida imagination ; his calmness is only when be is asleep, and, haply, enoreth not,nor attitudinises in his dreams ; his regularity consists in being regularly irregular; his fixed ness of purpose is the thing which is nit; his love of solid realities goes not beyond cots-beef and greens, and even these be is ready enough to abandon for any bit of amusement of a less solid de scription. The Irishman is often melancholy, but seldom serious for any length of time ; and though habitually thoughtless, as we phrase it, yet his mind Is rarely without thought. In his notions of excellence, the Liebman is much more ena moured of the perfection of art, than that of nature : I speak not of female beauty in this assertion, for ever since I have been in Ireland, and caught some of their enthusiastic notions, I avoid this subject, for fear of being thought extravagant; but I world be understood to ray, that la matters of taste, with which animal passion has nothing to do, the artificial is preferred. This is con spicuous in their eloqueoce. The replied figure,the epigrammatic turns, the elaborated ornaments—the oratorical dress, in short. la which their expressed thoughts are wrapped up, indicate the pecu liarlty of national taste—peculiar, however, only as contrasted with English sad German habits, for in no other part of the old world do they make their public harangues merely a more enlarged and energetic exerdse of the most familiar habits of expression. Upon the whole matter.—for k would ta►e a longer essay than I now propose to enter into, to even touch upon all the peculiarities of Irish character—the genuine Irishman with all his faults, (for they are many,) and all his excellencies, (for they also are many,) has a wild and vigorous character. which requires but a proper system of discipline, to turn to most valuable account. Let not people be horrified into despair of the Irish, by the dreadful dr am:Winces which have occurred in some parts of the South, and . bb the public ear with horror. The county of Tipperary, which is the blest. by far the Attest piece of natural land within the domi nions of our gracious Sovereign King George. Is cursed with • fearfully desperate and reckless population : but there Is no part of Ireland so b•d as this. not even in Cork, when the late trials took place for conspiracy to murder magistrates by wholesale. The " conflate improboruis mamas" of Tipperary Is a disgrace to the island, and an object of disgust to the whole empire ; but that may be put down, if energetic mama were resorted to, and troops of murderers were met by troops whose legal business it is to slay outrageous transgressors of the law. Bat 'rebind has been long, beg. without any of the things which minister to peace, to good order. and to consequent happineu. Religious sod political contention. those horrible destroyers of all that le good and praiseworthy in a nation's actions, will. we hope, now gradually expire, nokm the Irish petiole be indeed lost La all mom Then, whet a • gloriosa work of improvement presents itself !

The public has not yet been positively intormed whether the Rossisoe have evacuated Adrianople or not, and expect with im patience some notice on that point, as.d also with respect to the Amnesty.
