rn F srA'rF:s 1A:~~, The Dofilin Erening Post (the main organ of the sentiments of the reople•of Ireland), in its last Tuesday's number, treats with becoming seriousness the state of the B • h nation, and miles op with its ref/Point) , a pleasantry well worth the perusal.— After observing, that in the former number they had published the preliminary proceedings of the Smith. field Meeting, they continue the detail, sn.l entirely chime in with our opinion in respect to the ',wises o f the Kefernsers, and in the belief that Mr. Ilurr, by his per, r ore and etpriience, will effect more thso his friends would have expected, or than his enemies now believe. Having before espatiated on the grgat 'lrma eshibited on the same kind of boards, which served the votaries of Mewls of old, they proceed : " The afterpiece of the Common Council com pletes the entertainment of the day. " These proceedings. let people say what they please, cannot, we think, be perused without inte test. The conduct of Mr. 'fumy—the admirable self-pessemien which he evinced throughout, the nerve with which he supported the dangerous pre eminence to which be was raised, and the forcible, yet prudent, management with which he swayed anti governed the tremendous population over whom be presideJ, proves him to be a man of uo common 'flap '• The truth is—Mr. Mare, though fond of chit. tiling the ll.roughmongesitsg Robbers' (we use his own polite phrase) with the valour of his tongue, does not appear very desirous to flesh his sword in the blood or Boroughmen and their partisans. The Devil is not so bad •1 he is psiated, and we really do believe that Mr. Ilu:IY is not such a monster as he is represented. Ile has one requisite—an rafts ordinary one—we meet' political courage. He sees sae Stile, enough ell its orders, against him—the Press hes made a target of him these three or four years—he has been lighting his way at two contested Elections, and, though he did nut succeed, be per formed what, in the opinion of most people, was more wonderful than if 'redid. Ile was heard, epee his eon arena, abasing Sir Fitaricts BURDETT, and sometimes hailed. Ile then struggled, and strag gled manfully, through Westminster-ball. It was in vain tbst Mr. Stinztrr assumed airs and cause qopser--• eatable trick of the long-eared gentry— the barrister was replied upon with readiness and spirit, and was obliged—Oh, lame and impotent conclusion I—to apply to the Bench for protection. We are quite aware of what may be said wins, Mr. litter—the Whigs hate hies every man, from Earl GREY to Mr. WISIRAIITIIIe Tories hate him every one, from Lord Eznom down to the Editor of the Nes Mmes. Weevilly believe that there never yet ezisted a man against whom such torrents of abuse have been levelled. Yet it snort be confessed, that he kept his ground eitb the energy, thoogh reships trot oleo the talents, of the late Mr. Wizzes."— Thes is Mr. Busy receiving the best political ale. estion soy seen ever enjoyed; be is commented on and imperially leaded by one party ; and schooled and abused by the other ; it is, therefore, his own fault if he does not profit by such instrortion. Ile los distinguished himself by a victory in the Foram, god if his antigen's,' are nut ersy ender their de. f e ar, he invites them to follow him to the Rostrum, where, after a good beating, a generous, though vanquished, adversary, may put oo scarlet and for givingly say— " My tiro mount the linemen in hi.

Is likely soon to be laid open to the world et large. For a great dreggist is ready to make oath, that for four or five dais before the Meeting in Smith field, h. sold more ortvw then 'seal, and that it was asked whether it was free from the adulteration of saccus /Repo:micas (commonly called Spanish ti ger., webby which there is relson to saspect, from the technical engoiry, that Dr. Wovsos. or some other medical man connected with the Reformers, most base planned this deadly scheme ; which was to es• tract the soporific ..Bert from this sleepy dreg, and with it throw the whole body of the citizens into a prnfoenil coma, so that their throats might be cut, sad neither themselves nor the Clime MAGUS 'TRATE any the wiser for it.

To rux EDIMit or roc ST.4ITSMAN. Stn, -1 111111 really astonished find, by a Circular inverted in the last week's raper', that the marl pre. jert of transporting the molt useful part of our popu lation (together with their capital) is atrioady enter. brined, and that a bounty for the encneragement of emigration is actually offered for the parpure of form• ing a colony on the other side of the globe! and this, too, in an age enlightened by the magnificent place of the judicious and benevolent Mr. Owen ! Is it for such objects they turn a deaf ear to the most convincing arguments; or are they really enable to comprehend the beauty of a system which has been made es plain as mathematical demonstrations, or even es those things which are most obvious to our senses. for after all what are the plans of Mr. Owen? What ! but the most useful discoreries and inventions, sci entiflodly arranged, instead of promiscuously, and brought into harmonious union with the best modes of social enjoyment, and the soundest principles of political prosperity. Twenty year. experience of the fact, assisted by the demonstrations of Mr. Owen, has sorely convinced every intelligent mind, that the eatensive use of the improved mechanic powers must henceforth, 'littered possible circumstances, 'Wade many thousands of oar workmen out of their usual employments. Again—No intelligent man, who is a judge of the matter, can travel through any part of the coon try, remote from very largo tow n•, without observing, that (reclusive of commons. heaths, forest., closes, perk', &c.) one half, at least, of the land is very imperfectly cultivated. Again—No person w besets the lamentable conic client's of ignorance, prejudice, and ill habits, and who knows hew effectually these evils can be re• moved by proper training, can serioesly think that a good education, extended to every member of the commodity, could be productive of any other than the happiest results. Here, then, are thoesands of acres which worlece nest to nothing: here ore (beauties of individuals who produce worse than nothing : and here also are the means of ',tinging them all into profitable action upon a principle that embliiitel the most useful em ployments with the best modes of education. Is it not evident, that wha'evi , r additional value can be raised, by mph)} leg these idle persons upon these unprofitahle lands, will be a clear gain to the Notion I That it would soon set aside the necessity of importing foreign grain, which, dodos the lest year only, orcavioned a loss to the Nation of 'bon ten millions sterling. That as tie condition of these people improved, they would form the best of ell markets kr cier on si maoufactores, sod by the biome of their numbers would soon render the Nation ins pregueble, insomuch that the wolosnisla fear of inva sion, which tormettird us so much daring the last could never return, nor the ruinous expedient of providing for present dere, et., by twit ipsting the resources of generations nab .rn, be any Bete ne cessary. Away then with the idea of emigration, which, to a Whit like this, is, of all absurdities, the most preg nant wish mischief—betides, what advantage tan ac crue to the emigrants themselves ? If they remain dependent on the British Empire, will not the produce of their industry always have to compete with her overwhelming redundant. ? Wilt they not share the vicissitudes of her furtitnr ? When was a colony known to flourish while the psrent slate was seek la rain ? Can the estremities enjoy vigour whets the heart is affected with the torpor of death? I am aware that prejudices airy esist which destroy every generous feeling, and which tet , der the mind they infect incapable of judging correctly. lam not, therefore, surprised, that those who fancy their own interests may suffer by the adoption of Mr Oman's plans, are hostile its a trial of them. They are is the condition of those whose pleasure-grounds inter sect the projected line of a great public road, or nevi• gable noel , and who had rather tern the commerce of distant provinces a few miles nut of its cootie, thou disturb the order of a file of tulips, or the free• hold of a colony of rooks ! But there are others, whose neglect of these ar rangements is matter of on , peakable regret. I allude to those who postpone from year to year an investi gation of this question, while one class sinks after another into the bottomless gulph of pauperism.— These men have certainly the most important trust that ever was confided to the wisdom of statesmen.— They may be said to command a I which is freighted with the destinies of nations. The pacific lies before them in grandeur sod repose, and by the (*Wenn of Nlr. 04 Et they might run a pleasant sod prosperous coon: ; but if in the blindness of their conceit they prefer to work their Ivey amid ice-berg. sod breakers, with a crazy bottom and a mutinous crew—or if vain of their skill they amuse themselves with skimming round the whirlpottl of cttollicting pinions and intereits—there is good reason to fear— " Thry'll sivk Ole 'kip la °pro se', hie Ileav'a inaskollui3." .I.:T.

LORD C4STLEKR4GII. - - 411-- MY Loao,—The Public have no reason to be satis fied with the treatment which his Royal highness the Duke of Kurt has experienced at the fluids of your Lordship, and those who are in col junction with yoo. Entrusted with she highest functions of Go vernment, it is not a sufficient apology, in these tlays, for any unfair and partial conduct, to as. lett, that such matters are too Ilen:ate to be meddled with, and that they involve reflections on the highest Personage in the kingdom. My Lard, it was one of the worst and most repulsive peculiarities of Mr. PITT, whose humble imitators yourself and y nor colleagues proclaim yourselves to be, that on any pinching emergency he introduced the name of his revered Sovereign, contrary to the spirit and practice of our Constittvion, rightly administered, which declares the Sovereign to be inviolable, and irresponsible for any pahlic act. Such a contrivance, Indeed, might pegs with Mr. Purr, for whose fail. ings the nation felt a d grim of indulgence, which would be unjustifiable toward, those who only imi tate him in his foibles and fault*. The nation is fully sensible that his Royal Highness the Duke of K true has not been fairly treated, and they tern with scorn from any plea or jestification of such treatment, grounded on the score of delicacytoteards the Sovereign, whom they knew to be brought forward as a sort of con venient screen. The iltustrines Prince to whom I bate alluded, hes endeared himself to the nation, by the magnanimity and propriety both of his public and private conduct; and when it is manifestly proved that a partial arid invidious distinction has taken place, men of sense w ill impute it to the real mottles, and be convinced, that jealousy of superior merit was the base and malignant passion that operated in the breasts of certain individuals, and produced that sinister and sun:icings line of conduct which the nation has beheld with feeling* of condemnation and disgust. It is ono of the misfortunes attendant on Miniver', and men of high rank, that they gar. spy matters through a &lord,* median,, and are fre quently set aside from their own better judgment and resolutions by the suggevions of favourites and para sites ; bat it might base been hoped, that In the case of hit Royal Highness the public estimation had been so clearly and manifestly elicited and brought to light, that a p opposition can be accounted for only on the ground of jealoes and malignant 'no. fives sod inclinVious.
