lAA gentry, their want of integrity br intelligent•. There are now on the books of Trinity College, Dublin, the names of 1,700 students, or about thrice the number that existed in the early life of the Marquis WELLRILET. Is not this great increase of educated men among the gentry of Ireland competent to the service of the State, for the dimensions of the island remain ex actly the same. The great advance that has taken place in their rent-rolls, and which exists even at this moment of pressure, compared with the rents of thirty years ago, speaks something in favour of their integrity and independence. Oh ! hat then we are told the spirit of alnenteeship la, thinned the ranks of the resident gentry, and hence arises the necessity of the present measure. Now is this spirit of absenteeship a permanent fashion of the country, and an evil that defies all hope of alleviation or cure ? it so hap.. pens that the moon revolving in her orbit, has al ways the same half of her surface turned to. wards the earth, which has a like appearance to the inhabitants of the moon, with the exception of its presenting a much larger face. It is easy to con ceive what a treat it must prove to the lunatics who reside in the opposite part of the moon to make a visit to that side which commands a view of this world. Such has really been the state of the people of England. A long-protracted and inveterate war had cut off all communication between Frunce and this country a► completely as if separated by mil• lions of miles. There must, therefore, exist for u few years a great mania to visit the Continent. The Union must also increase the number of Irish ab sentees. But who are these emigrants ? why, the gen try of Ireland, who are in easy circumstances, whose rent-rolls have been increased threefold by the war, but many or whom the present distress of the country must compel to return home, because it cannot longer supply them with the means of living abroad. They may not go home to hold the plough, like CINCINNATI'S, with their own hands, but most assuredly they must look after it, for their tenantr, now saved only by English benevolence from death by famine, can • no longer administer to their ease and luxuries In a foreign clime. The present evil of absenteeship, we therefore contend, has • tendency to cure itself, sud yet instead of facilitating 'that cure, the Minister for Itelnud proposes • measure that must aggravate the evil mud render all cure hopeless. The gentry cf Ireland in the distressed districts have instituted an anxious inquiry into the causes of the present distress, in which the number of absentees, and the consequent want of employment among the poor, are stated as the principal causes. The Minister for Ireland, wits this exposition staring him in the face, proposes as a cure, • men• sure that must swell the slumber of absentees, by disgusting the gentry, sod rendering the country ouitiliabitable to all who do not feel pleased with their own degradation. Mr. PLUNKETT, in advo cating this measure, treats it as a temporary expe dient. We do not perceive any traces of a tempo. fey character about it. That Right lion. Gen tleman, iu his admirable answer to Mr. Ewa, contended truly that the disturbances in Ireland were confined to ■ few distracts. Why then intro. ilyee a general measure to meet a local evil ? It was well observed by Mr. SHERIDAN on ■ like oc casion, if there be pimples on the cheek of a beauty pot a patch upon them, but do not clap a mask upon the whole face ? Again, if it be not intended as part of a new permanent system, why is the old system superseded in the great body of the country, against which there exist , . no cause of complaint ? But the very stature of the new plan exhibits it as an intended permanent measure. The system whose place it proposes to occupy is not set aside in expectation that it may row and fructify so as to yield a better harvest.— Tlie proposed system defeats the hopes of the her ►rst—it aggravates the barrenness of the land, by encouraging absentreship, the very ground which los been chosen for its basis.

This was an actsuo brought by the Plaititiff. tl•e conductor of a sparring exhibition at the Fiver% court, Leicester-square. against the Defendalit, the proprietor of the Weekly bispairk newspaper, for a libel. ft was tried at the sitting. alter last and a verdict was found (or the Defendant. Mr. Serjeatit BOIANQU►T now moved lon a rule to she* cause why this verdict should out be int aside, sod a new trial granted, upon the ground of misdirection on the part of the Judge. The Learned Judge. he submitted, hail, in summing up the facts of the case to the Jury, intimated it as his opinions that the exhitriiiiyi of which the Plaintiff was the conductor, was illegal—and, consequence, the Jury had found their verdict fur the Defendant. Ile bud now to contend, that the opinion thus given by his Lordship was nut correct in point of law. The Learned Seljertat th en !o. carded to argue that the exhildtion so question was altogether harmless in itself; that uo now:hitt' could arise from its repetition; and. that it was no nose objectionable than exhilo ions of fritcrog, or archeij. or any of those other gymnastics exeicises. the 111. tent of whirls was to milord rinusenient, while they were calcul.ited to teach the tot of self-olefelic.. and the practice of which bad never been ques tioned. The CHIEF JUSTICE said; that he certainly hart st a ted Ins opinion on this subject in plain terms to the Jury, end Unit opinion trammed unchanged. Nevertheless, he was desirous that the Jury shostl.l hive given such a verdict a. slight have led to more enlarged consideration of the question. Mrs Serjeaut Pell, who conducted the case for the Di - resident, however, had very properly urged, that the Jury were the judges both of the law mud the facts, ILA they had, oil a full view of all the circern. stances, found the verdict which bad been de scribed. The Cone, then gave their opinion seriatim.. that there was no pretence for disturbing this ver dict. The exhibitions of which the Plaintiff visa the conductor, were in do respect similar to those to which they had been compared, inasmuch as the latter had never been the cause of prixe-lights, 9r breaches of the peace, whereas the former were known to be precursors of such obnoxious events. Matches were made, bets laid, and very frequently Imes lost, as consequences of such scenes ; and any tweeting which thus tended to a breach of the peace, was clearly a misdemesnor.—ltule refused. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. lIATTHILWII V. RILTMOI.DI. Mr. CußwooD Opened the pleadings in this ease. The Plaintiff complaiued of r breach of promise of marriage on t h e part of the Defendant, and the da mages were laid at 1,500/. Mr. Serjeant PELL, in stating the circumstances under which this action had been brought, said he did. not mean to go at length into thAprinciples which geuerally governed cams of this description. Every case must stead upon the facts which more immediately beloaged to 'well; and only in propor tion to the injury sustained could deranges be reco. erred. Undoubtedly, there were cases in which a man would be justified in breaking his word, how ever solemnly it bad been pledged. If a wan had been led into a contract by circumstances of gross delusion, and that he had subsequently diacovered the deceit which it had been intruded to practice upon him, a sufficient apology could thus be urged fur its breach : but where no such circumstances ex isted, and where a man, arrived at the full years of discretion, had thought proper to lead • woman into the hope of • matrimonial counexion, which hope he had afterwards betrayed, without the shadow of a cause, then his conduct was indefensi ble. He did not mean to put this case before the Jury as one of deep aggravation, and all he asked for his client was • fair and reaveinible compen- sation fur the injury she had sustained. NVere lie to ask more, lie felt that he should justly subject himself to censure. Tice facts were shortly these : The Plaintiff was • widow woman, he believed of the age of forty year., or perhaps rather more, be tween forty and fifty. The Defendant was a smut older than the Plaintiff, he might say ten year., ine that the Jury would see both pantie. were adeausetl in years ; they had known each other for several years. The husband of the Plaintiff died iu the month of March 1815, and the Defendant wait executor under his will, so that he was fully spa prised of the property of which the Plaintiff be came possessed. From 1815 down to 1840, it sp. peered that lie had shewo towards the Plaintiff every attention, and diaclserged the trust repus.d in him with great propriety. In 1840 it would seem that he lied altered his views towards the Plaintiff, and declared his intention of form.. ing with her • matrinnouial engagetneur.
