PP' •1 to what did the worthy Alderman's reasoning amount? In the first instance, that it was advisable and expedient to omit the Qttain's name in the Liturgy before she was tried, and only because she was suspected; and that after all proceed- ings against her had been abandoned, because they could not be carried on, and after she had been pronounced an innocent and injured woman by nine-tenths of the nation; it was proper still that she should hi treated with disrespect, because, under wrongs the most galling to a female mind, shel bad affixed her signature to a letter which reflect ed on the Cosrt and conduct of her Royal Hos bawl !! ! What this cx pest facto offence had to do with the omission of her Reat.srv's name in the Liturgy, neither the worthy Alderman, nor any of his admirers took the trouble to spew. But it was enough to be atle to bring some charge dr other, no matter how irrelevant, against a personage whom it w a s desirable at all events to traduce and overwhelm. .Ihe Worthy Alderman had read with profit, the sig nidcant Fable of the Wolf and the Lamb. Curaeoa Papers arrived this morning of the 14th November, but do not contain any information from the Slain. By papers from Lower Canada, of the !Oth of De ee:nber, we are infornied that his Excellency the Go vernor, Earl Ihimouste, opened the Session of the Provincial Parliament with a speech remarkable for its brevity. After adverting in appropriate terms to the death of the late KING, the Governor alludes to the situation of the province and the various measures ne cessary for its improvement. He recommends a revision of the Constitutions of the Courts of Justice, the adop tion of permanent tennis laws, a strict attention to the organisation and discipline of militia, and such other measures that will add to the comfort of the nu merous emigrants who continue to arrive in that ptuviurr, and facilitate the settknaent of the waste PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, Jan. 94, 1891. No discussion of importance has taken place in the chamber since the nth, and Park would he very dull were it not for a singular reneontre that occurred on the Tuilleries three days age, and which still con tinues to be the general topic of conversation. You will nut be surprised to bear that the hostility be tween Ministers and the Prince's party, continues unAhated. There is evidently a determination on the part of the hitter, to drive them from power and occupy their places. In pursuance of this design, Donned.. Greets to have been selected as a lit person to fight the bellies of his Meads. nil - 1 1 1 01$0411 de Richelieu on the promenade above alluded to, he attacked him with such violence, not unattended with menaces of corporal chastisement, that had not the Premier made a preelpitme retreat, it is probable the gond people of Paris would have been entertained with the novel spertacle of • boxiag match under the walls of the palace ! A similar eyelet is said to have mcurred between these two politicians scene months before, it is now asserted, that if the Dohs any Wage, tieclines giving (Unseal Doasediee the satisfaction be demands for gastrin teal or *Weed iligoeies, be must consent to bear the epithet. generally alloted to those who, is the language of Boller, prefer “ to fight another day." It is now ascertained that the °tassel's famous speech was composed for him by no less than three of the party, each taking a department, which it must be confessed, they have described in very glowing colours. Although nothing can be more absurd than to hear the must famous of the ultra's sympathise with the ill treatment and sufferings of the army ; it need not be matter of wonder, when we consider that place and power are the objects in view. It seems that as M. de It. does not tnink himself justified in mestiug his adversary, he has thought it t duty to represent his conduct to the Klug e *bilis said to have hunt& diately placed hies on the retired lists and interdicted his 1.. ore entry into the palsies. This flecas will doubtless lead to very warm discussions. and well in furiated persons imagine it might be taken considera ble Advantage of by the liberals in favour of the people. Unhappily it is here, as in other countries; in proportion as the friends of liberty telex in their efforts, devote too much Huse to frivolous amusements, ur 'that is worse, quarrel about Irides, so du the ene mies of mankind unite, and bury ail sorts of animosi ties. rather than forge the chance of carrying their designs hap exteutioa. A eery jeteresting trial will eeme on in the Court of Assize, nazi month. It is that of M. Souligno, author of an ahle work called Let trait wows t in which he hoe displayed a thorough knowledge of English history, This gentleman has beta doomed to experience all the resentment of the ruling faction in Prance ; seised about eight months ago, by • spe cies of Imre de cachet, his papers were sent to the Prefect of police, and himself to prison. he has lan giddied in one or another of them ever since ; but will now have an opportunity of exonerating himself from the charges of his enemies. M. Souligae is said to he better acquainted with the secret history of the factious in this country than any of his content poraries, anal when at large, his disclosures will, at - cording to revert, astonish Europe ! Duvergier, of whom you have hoard in the late trials, is the friend of Soulizne, and his companion in misfortune; this interesting young WAR is the nephew of Lauviston, who has the credit of being amongst his bitterest per secutors. 0! tempore, 0! morn 1 he only particulars which have reached this plate, concerning the recent affray at Turin, comes to us through the official journal, the Piedinontese Os setic. Prom this it appears to have originated in a thoughtless frOak of some Simians, who entered the theatre withltotteets rouges on their heeds. How ever improbable or insignificant this cause may sees, it led to the military being called out ; they were at tacked with stones it is said ; the malt wise that they Irk on the assailants, and from 1$ to 10 persons mire Milled and wounded. In the prises' stage of the ha- I STAT: sines*, it would be premature to offer those conjec- 1 tures which naturally present themselves to those who are acquainted with the agitated state of the , public mind throughout the King of Sardinia's do-I minion.. You have so doubt heard of Cot Browne's assas sination. This event is also annonneed in the same journal, and is reported to have taken place on the tith, as be was coming out of the theatre de to Sealer. There were three men concerned, and stiletto's were the weapons employed. Every effort is of course making, to discover the perpetrators of this horrible crime. It is however most extraordinary, that know ing, as the unfortunate victim must have known, the character of those amongst whom he had lived so long, should have remained at Milan after his mission had torminated. Elwin Spain the accounts are by no means antis ffietory. The Ministers of Ferdinand continue to be very unpopular, and they deserve to be to; if what is related of their late measures is true. It is certain that a representation numerously signed, was presented to the King by the Municipal body, praying that his Majesty would dianales his present seiVentsPrand appoint others more efficient in their stead. Ferdinand's answer, dictated by themselves, weut to say that they were good enough, and he saw no reason for changing them. On the 29th ult. the Marquis de Ceralbo caused the patriotic societies of the Cruz de:Matta and Fartera dr 0,•o, to be shut up. Several arrests took place the following day, and amongst these was Mide .Vora, r litor of El Crodetit a eioaal, his case deserves particular notice, as it seems that the first principles of the constitution have been violated in his person. By the 247th article of the new code, no Spaniard can be punished without a previous act of accusation being drawn up, and the .causes of his detention clearly specified. M. de Mora, has, however, been unable to ascertain the motives of his confinement, and the manner of his arrest was particularly injurious to the Interests of the ministers. Sent for by Aran*, as he thought, to have a private interview, he had no subtler reached the latter's house, than a party of soldiers seised and oarried him to prison, where he has since remained, without being suffered to have any communication with his family or friends. It should be added that his paper, which was to have been enlarged and ren dered still more favourable to the cause of freedom, on the very day of his arrest, has been also suspended. Nor have all his efforts enabled bin, to find out, why the ' Mioist rs should select him as an object of such mark ed persecution. To say nothing of the injury which the Constitutional system must sustain by this illegal conduct of the Spanish ministry, M. de Mora has pe culiar claims to the sympathy of Englishmen, he has repeatedly pointed out to his country, that we are the natural allies of Spain, and in the spirit of true libe rality made a proper distinction between us and our ministers. M. de Mora, is also the translator of Je remy Bentham's admirable address to the Cortes and people of Spain, than which, a more unanswerable or important appeal never came from the pen of that great and good man. Let us hope that the free press Ferdinand, that, they are mistaken if they imagine it possible to goiern without such an opposition as the Constitution justifies, and flint when they cease to administer justice in the spirit of that Constitutio •, the best, perhaps only guarantee for its stability, is forsaken. All we know of OW new Congress is, that the So vereigas have arrived at Laybacb. Various st 'ries an itt similation Maths to the journey of Ferdinand tr. and of his Otreties* through haly, some say that he betrayed symptoms of regret at having become a constitlatioisal inosarch instead of a despot, others that his swift sense of religion, will steers him against yielding to the persuasions or Menaces of. the Holy of& haw.

CORA COUNTY MEETING. --..-- 1111014 AL DEFEAT /Mit 71.1011 T Of TUB uvreA-Lomurre, A COUNTER ADDRESS CARRIED lIT ACCLAMATION. The Count y Meeting called by the High Sheriff, to prepare a detiful and loyal Address to his Majesty, has terminated, after a day limited with more extraordinary proceeding, than have characterised any of the meetings whisk have yet taken place in any other County. The assemblage exceeded any we have ever seen within the walls of the Court. Through the private avenues to the Court. those Lords and Gentlemen who were expected to take a prominent part in the profeedings were seen ap proaehing towards the Huaangs, but they could not suc ceed for a long time. The name of the Earl of Bantry was announced from without. bat a quarter of an hour elapsed before his Lordship could gain admission. His Lordship at length got on the Hustings, when the High Sheri ff , the Hon. William Smyth Bernard, read the requisition upon which he had convened the meeting. After some smart altercation respecting the reading of the requisition, and the High Sheriff's answer, Lord BANTRY rose and read an Address, which he parsed with a very few words, expressive of a hope that jt meald mese the general approbation. It tom= merge'd by expressing attachment to his Majesty's Per son Thtone, and Government, adverted to blasphemy and sedition, and stated the determination of the Ad dressers to support the Constitution. Lord Dotraitamt seconded this Address. WILLIAM Srewata., Esq. begged leave to ask the two Noble Lords a simple question. lie supposed he was not mistaken in believing thew both to be friends of the present Administration. Now, report gave out that this Administration had issued their orders to get up what they were pleased to call Loyal Addresses, but which were in fact only intended to bolster up their own broken fortunes. He would yield to no man in loyalty to the King and attachment to the Constitution; but the homage he would pay to the Sovereign he would not pay to his Ministers.—(Cheers)—lle called on the Noble Lords to state in candour whether they meant to imply any approbation of Ministers or their measures, and hoped they would explain. The Hon. Mr. HAIM M. P. rose to order, and said, the object of the Meeting was defined and no other topic should be canvassed.—(4lreat clamonr.)—He had no ob jection to say, however, that the support of Ministers was not Intend ed by the Address—(cheers) —and there was a tit sera' disclaimer by the Requisitionists on the Hued , gee . Jona. Srawat.t., Esq. of Kilbrittain, said, as the Noble Lords and the Hon. Gentlemen had disavowed any such object, they could have no objection to a short addition, which he 'would move to the Address, which went to guard it from imploring approbation of the measures of the preset administration. ARTIIIOII 0117111 IN CREAtIH, of IditllrelltiflUM. Esq. se coaled this amendment in a brief but manly and elo quent speech, during which he was warmly cheered. He was followed by William Wrixon Becher, Esq. the Member for Mallow, who spoke in favor of the amend ment with convincing arguments. urged in his pecu liarly eloquent manner. A discussion of much length ensued, and at length the call for the question because almost universal, when one of those scenes took place which have been so frequent of late in taking the sense of Count z Meetings. The High Sheriff read the Ad dress and amendment, and then put the question—that the latter do stand part of the former, which was car ried by an overwhelming majority of the Mewing. He •.•• I I A riidiratirri &in cittilo dig& did:Meeting, or to ' take a slew of bands; but these methods he declined, and se k the Chair, decluing the Meetieg to be dissolved. —Thi clams lur and confasion now proceeded from all qtrirtgen, and Mr.4lAllolf, amidst the tom% announcel that Mr. liessaith was about to take the Chair, when the appli.use became immense. Mr. Besmish accordingly was Hied over to the place which the Sheriff had vacated, but it was 49aely occupied by the Earls of Kingston and Ban try, Ile Lord Bishop of Cork, and some other lientle men. ~Some conversation then took place on this spot, which the noise prevented front being heard, but the Mee g V motioning to call to Mr. Begmish to take the ir, the Noble Lords , followed by about twenty lieu n. withdrew amidst great expressions of dis app tion. M Oentlemea then delivered their sentiments, and Jonas Stawell, Esq. proposed an address, which was -tried amidst loud cheers, and had only seven or eightsices against it. The address after expressing the l'lty of the County to his Majesty, and the Con stituttase. stated their feeling under the grievances at tributable to the evil and injudicious counsels of de• girlie% and inefficient Ministers ;---and prayed his Majesty for the disnsissal of those Ministers, a change o i of sures, a redress of grievances, and a speedy re st 'a of Constitutional liberties and rights. e presentation of the Address was then, by an unissinsons vote, confided to the Duke of Devonshire and William Wrixon Becher, Esq.; and a Committee appuintr to soperintend its management in the mean time, vote of strong censure was also passed upon the Nigh Sheriff fur his conduct in refusing to ascer- 1 tails the sense of the Meeting, and preventing several Freeholders from delivering their sentiments; and then A. O. Creagh, Esq. having been called to the Clmir,,thanks were voted to Mr. Beamish, for his manly, instructive. and independent conduct in the Chair. The Meeting then broke np.
