The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur chase some of the largaand valuable estates in tee West of Ireland, which are now in the ;market, and to improve and let on lease, or resell the same. In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such easy terms, and witn such present and prospective advantages. At no tormer period has so favourable an opportunity been pre sented Oa' making eligible land investments in Ireland. It is a strange hut unquestional le truth, that at the present mo ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable laid may be boueht in Ireland at prices scat cely higher than emigrants are compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements. Owing to the b•gal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent tlaetransfer,ofl.ndedpro d erty in Ireland, and the exaggerated value generally placed upon it by its nomnal owners, it was deemed hope less by English capitalists to seek permment Investments there, especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent all attempts at the introduction of au improved system of agri culture. Ihe successful operation of the Encumbered Estates' Court, the remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difaculy in the problem of It eland's physical and social regeneration, and re move the must formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the mere force of circumstances. The province of Connaught'has been chosen because it offers un questionably a preeminently suitable field tbr the purposes of the Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal, and tractable character of its inhabitants. Practical Agriculturi ts, Travellers, and Tourists of all Nations have concurred in bearing testimony to tree unparalleled scope for remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, a' d Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured district abounds. The prindipal reasomwhy a larger number of English and Scotch farmers have not been, induced to take advantage of this splendid opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has been their reluctance to become isolated settlers In a country where their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor -rates ; whilst they en tertain considerable apprehension tor the safety of their persons and property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing like habits and sympathiks, and engaged in the pursuit of similar objects. The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid before the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro position of Sir Robert repl for the improvement and colonization of Co.inaught. The absence of Afarkets has hitherto done much to deter persons from becoming settlers, or engaging in,any industrial enterprise in the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro polis ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of a line of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable realiza- Mon of the long-desired steam communication with America is another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity. The most effectual mole of promoting a better system of Agricul ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manufacture of its own productions; the Company will therefore encourage the growth of sach Commercial Plants, as may form the basis of exten sive and highly remunerative Manufactures. It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more mature deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, and de vote its attenti fri to the reclaiming, improvement, and reselling of land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all the means in its power the cultivation of root and textle plants so peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c. It is needless to insist upon the great advantages of a Royal Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it would be difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of capital than improvable land at its present prices in Western Ireland. A clause in the Charter provides for the allocation of one-fourth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming, and generally improving and rendering marketable - the estates of the Company. It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases. The Din ciors feel that it does not become them to speak of the amount 01 anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy o public confidence, but they think that it ought to be known as a fac alc:dated to encourage those who embark their capital in this un dertaking, that the present , s the only scheme out of many which have been submitted to the Hoard of Trade, whose professed objects and proposed operations have rust the approbation of h er Majesty s Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap pointment of a Government Auditor. In a review of Mr. Dighy Seymour's recent work* on Western Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 12552), after stating that the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the present scheme, " We believe it has a claim en the attention of capitalists that wil ensure its success." Other authorities abound to express , ons of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a discerning public. They would, in conclusion, adopt the language of Mr. Seymour who thus sums un his argument in favour a Land Company, conneaion with Western Ireland: "A Land C ,, mpany, possessing a large tract of country, lestablsh ing the best system of 'Agriculture, working its Mines and Fisheries — ii such there were—introducing new and important manufactures — its whole economy anministered by men of skin, rectitude, and per severance - promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur ing permanence of employment—opening fr. sh markets in conse quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing an ample capital, could effect —lncumbered by nu poor-rate, because employ ing the poor—to. powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices —too self-reliant to be detetreil from its path by intimidation—uninflu enced itselt by sectarianism, in politics or religion, and offering no impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling of all by its practical patriotism—possessing the advantage of united counsels and associated energies—attracting to itself the hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community—able in its collective capacity to approach the Government with such claims to a fay..arable attention as no private individual could advance— contemporaneous'y developing all the resources, geolo gical, and manufacturi ng , o f it s p ossess i ons—I say tha t such a Com pany can alone undertake, w i t h j us t h opes of succe ss, a project at once so form' agricultural, dahle in its ditilculties—so profitable as a m. de of in ves.ment—so full of immediate blessings, and of future hopes—in its conception, peradventure, weak and unimposing—in its execu tion, I trust, spirited and energetic -in its consummation, I would pray, the harbinger of a nobler and happier destiny for reclaimed and regenerated Ireland !" .‘.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—ln the ab sence of arrivals there has been more quietude in our grain market during the past week; the rates asked for landed par cels tending rather to check business. Our market to-day was tolerably well supplied with wheat by the farmers, but a large portion a good deal out of condition, and such was very difficult to sell, while dry samples readily obtained last week's rates. In foreign wheat few or no transactions passed. A few small parcels of barley have arrived, and the market is less firm than last week. Oats in fair demand at our quotations. Beans go off as before. There has been more inquiry for white peas, but at rates below what are asked for the few landed parcels.

M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC mixes up with his argu ments on this point some eulogy u p on the Govern ment which approaches almost to adulation. The Pays writes in the same strain. It says, among other things,— " It is to public opinion that the Government of Louis Napoleon owes the immense infinence which it exercises over the whole of France; public opinion has always been for the nephew of the Emperor, the mysterious Egeria that he has silently consulted, and it has inspired him with the wisdom which presides over great enter prises, and the self-reliance which secures the execution of them. It is that mild and sympathetic goddess that will always guide his steps in the path in which the people walk, in his progress towards the future." M. DB LAMARTINE has addressed a letter to the Journal de Saone-et-Loire, in which he expresses his intention to refuse any invitation to offer himself as a candidate for the Legislative body. MM. MARC Durasisss and GREPPO, ex-represen tatives of the people, who had been included in th e list of persons or d ere d to be transported to Cayenne, have had a change effected in their destination. They are to be banished for life. The Marquis DB JAUCOURT, Minister of Marine under Lours XV.I4, and formerly Peer of Fra nce , died at his seat, in the Beine4l=Matriti,-li le* days ago, aged 94. The Dowager Lady RANCLIPPE has died in Paris. The Legitimatists have resolved, it seems, not to stand candidates for seats in the Corps Legislatif ; and it is saia that a letter has been received from the Count DE CHAMBORD, approving of this resolution, on the ground that they could not take the prescribed oaths of fidelity to the PRESIDENT and to the Con stitution. A similar objection would stand in the way of Orleanists, and, indeed, of Republicans, so that there appears to be nothing calculated to prevent the representative body being as Bonapartist as needs be desired. It is also said that the four Cardinal Archbishops have declined to enter the Senate, prin. cipally in consequence of the confiscation decrees. Marshal GERARD also refuses the profferred honour. With respect to the obnoxious decrees affecting the property of the ORLEANS family, the rumour of an inclination on the part of the PRESIDENT to submit them to the Senate is again revived, but with what degree of truth it is not easy to determine. The Society of Booksellers, Printers, and Sta tioners of Paris hare addressed a letter of thanks and congratulation to M. DB BILLING for the zeal dis played by that gentleman in the matter of interna tional copyright, on occasion of the ratification and exchange of the recent treaty between France and England. The society glance at the difficulties which prevent for the present the adhesion of Bel gium and Holland to the principle which acknow ledges and the law which protects the rights of intel lectual property—and express a hope that the cordial agreement of the Cabinets of London and Paris on this point will produce a disposition in those states to reconsider the grounds of their former refusal to treat o n any reasonable basis. There was a slight rise in the price of public securi ties. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f. 20c., fell to 103 f. 10e., rose subsequently to 103 f. 35c., and closed at 103 f. 10e. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 64f. 85c.; Orleans Rail road Shares, 1,1201.; Rouen, 657 f. 50c.; Havre, 265 f.; Great Northern, 568 f. 75c.; Vierzon, 507 f. 50c.; Basle, 2101.; Bordeaux, 435 f .; P ar i s a nd Strasburgh, 467 f. 50c.• 2 Tours and N an t es , 295. ; A m i ens to B ou l ogne , 2931. 75e.; Paris and Lyons, 578 f. 15c.

[PRIC E SD. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. The announcement made in our columns yesterday 01 the complete failure of the step taken by the Employers Association, in re-opening their shops on Monday, re. ceived further confirmation from the experience of yes terday, during which we are credibly informed that not a single additional skilled workman entered the vast establishment of Messrs. Mandeley and Field, Lambeth; and the only establishment, ao far as we could collect, which received any accession to its numbers, was that of Messrs. Miller and Ravenbill, Glasshruse-fields. Stepney, where eight mechanics, two of whom were members of .the Amalgamated Society, went in upon the - employers' terms. It will be remembered that the sem° number of mechanics, including two society men, . went .in on Monday, so that this shop now holds four members of the Amalgamated w pr il e i n t t h ic e e y s, n w o h t o s . ig h: d the hitherto Society, who are said to be the only ones, out of the 1,800 belonging to the tu t I'. w ho h a cceded to e rope z.., have declaration the masters' terms. On the other hand, fresh instances , have come to our knowledge in which foremen and afi remainedthe themselves, e l work, veu b u refused to sign the declaration required, and several f the for mer have intimated to their employer s , that not only will not remain to superintend the men who may sign it. We stated yesterday that a vast number of labourers who had been thrown out of employ by the strike had rushed to sign the declaration as soon as the shop doors were thrown open, but instances. have occurred in which labourers who had remained at work since the 19th of January quitted work on Monday, rather than do so. Amongst other instances, three men belonging to Grissell's, City-road, yesterday entered their names upon the labourers' relief-book on this account. In Manchester, we learn, the same results have at tended the re-opening of the shops as in London, and on Monday lloutson's shop, employing about 50 society, and 100 other hands; ire-oposed,upon the teems of the Amalgamated Society. It is also stated, upon good au thority, that Messrs. Platt and Hibbert, of Oldham, have requested a deputation of the society, with the view of taking the same step, and also that the Union Foundry, of the same place, has started upon the terms of the society. The subscriptions received during yesterday and Mon day, at the central office of the Amalgamated Society, considerably exceeded the amount received on the cor responding days of previous weeks, amounting to nearly 1,300/. This sum includes 501. from the London west end cabinet-makers. The Manchester men yesterday received their fourth week's strike pay, at the same rate as for the two pre vious weeks, viz , 155. for society, and les. for non society men. We understand, however, that the society men, who are four times the number of the non -society men, each gave up a shilling so as to equalise the re spective receipts at 14s. per man. The London hands were paid 10s. and 15s. respectively on Monday. The London trades are rendering a very considerable amount of assistance to engineering operatives by pecu niary contributions. At a meeting of the committee of the masons' society, on Monday, a resolution was passed authorising a levy of 6d. per week per member during the continuance of the strike; and it is stated that this levy will throw into the funds of the Amalgamated So ciety not less than from 150/. to 2001. per week. At a meeting of the tobacco and cigar trades, held the same night, it was also agreed that subscriptions should, for the same purpose, be at once entered upon. No fresh labourers, it is said, were taken on at any of the shops yesterday, and the Central Commission despair of receiving support from the public, contem plate a dissolution, leaving the matter entirely in the hands of the local committees. The total amount of subscriptions received during the past fortnight is 57/. 11s. Bd., out of which nearly 101. has been absorbed in printing and other expenses. They paid for the fort night ls. 9d. per man on Saturday last, and now hold in hand a balance of 2/. ss. 2d. towards the support of 600 men for the coming week. The following answer to an application for pecuniary relief was yesterday re ceived from the Earl of Carlisle:— "Lord Carlisle is sorry that he cannot render any as• sistance to the unskilled labourers on the present differ. ence in the trade. " Mr. F. J. Ebling." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Although the American accounts have conduced to somewhat more of tameness in the Liverpool cotton market, we have to report a de cided firmness in yarns and goods of most descriptions, with indications of a steady general demand. The makers of domestics are indeed complaining of a degree of heaviness in their department, owing to the conti nued backwardness of the home buyers, and yet they are remarkably free from stock. Tha Bombay houses are still operating in the lighter 40-inch shirt ings, and, as the market is cleared, and the production is reduced to a comparatively narrow limit, they are not now to be had at the late depressed prices. The cheapness of madapollams is also causing a disappearance of stocks for shipment to the same quarter. Much of the business both in the shirt ings and madapollams is, however, of a speculative cha racter. Good 40-inch skirtings continue scarce from previous orders, and from present demand for export to China, and for the purpose of printing. Printing cloths of thelower kinds, as li g ht as 3 15., aro attracting some attention. In yar ns , it i s f oun d t h at,4o ' s and 50 ' s mule twist, the former especially, are hardening in price under the India demand. Warps in general are very firm, at fall rates; indeed 28's are not in be bought except by paying something more; but 24's bring more difi3cult of sale, have a bias in the buyer's favour. For 30's pi n - cops there is an export demand, which gives the p ro d ucer an advantage in making bargain. The co ntracts that spinners ar e un d er for ., reeled water twist render i t so difficult to execute any of the orders on hand for China and the European conti nent, that extreme prices are fully sustained. In reference to the continental demand, we would point at tention to Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson, and Co.'s table below, which shows an increase, in the first five weeks of 1852 as compared with the same period in 1851, of 1,900 bales or 1,900,0001 b, chiefly to Germany. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had no improve ment in the flannel market to-day; e veryt hi ng continues quite inactive, and there is no disposition on the part of the merchant to purchase. There is no change in the wool market; the dealers are wishful to sell, at former prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUEIDAY.—We have Still to report a sluggish market for silk manufactured goods; the aggregate transactions of the week have been to a moderate extent, but prices are very unsatisfactory to producers. Thrown Silks—The market has been less active; stocks in general are light; the hands in the throwing mills are well employed. Raw Silk—The market continues tolerably active, under the influence of speculative purchases, chiefly in Chinas. Prices are firm, with the exception of Italians, which are a shade easier. HALIFAX, SA TURDAY.—But few merchants have vi sited our piece hall to-day, and the general aspect of the worsted trade is very dull. Yarns exhibit no improve ment, either in demand or price. Wool remains firm; and as the spinners are running out of stock, rather more is changing hands. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Oar market has been flat to-day, scarcely any demand for goods in the Cloth Hall, and not much doing in the warehouses. The wool market continues about the same as last week. MAN SHOT BY A WOMAN. A melancholy occurrence took place a few days ago at Kirkby Overblow, a village about six miles from Wetherby, land lying between that place and li-flares borough, which has thrown that usually quiet locality into a state of considerable excitement. It appears thaty a young man named Francis Long had for some tim e past lodged with a man and his wife named Atkinson who reside at Morkar Hill; that in consequence Lan' of differences between Long and Atkinson's wife me the for go to their evening oof the ma t - mer had left his lodgings. On Thurbsdomayethe to a 51, note 29th ult., Atkinson's wife induced LOng - t e house, under the pretence of settling ed we t n he t, ters in dispute, but particularly with regard which Long alleged he had lost, h Ids, to the house Mrs. Atkinson locked Lo sad door, when sad toim that the note he want e d if he wanted it he must fetch it. was up stairs, and that whilst there heard Mrs. Atkin e went up stairs, and and on looking out of the • Atkinson open the outer door, stand ing underneath it with a window he saw her that if he attempted to e rn in her hand. She told him shoot him. lie withdrew g ; f out of the window she would but hearing Mrs. rom the window for a moment, apprehensive that she Atkinsonwas come into the house he was jumped out of the wind as coming up stairs, and he then what he had do ow. The woman probably hear ingately fired the done, came again to the door, and &- tents iu the gun, lodging the whole of the con- Hannam, who lives Upper part of Long's thigh. Mr. John to his hous _ near, had the wounded man removed e, where he was attended by Mr. Amory, surgeon who deemed the immediate amputation of the limb neon,ssy, and the operation was performed yester da _ i y week by that gentleman and Mr. Hey (of Leeds). (izace Atkinson, the woman charged with the diabolical offence, was taken before the magistrates at Knaresbc rough, on Wednesday last, an d committed to York for trial at th e assizes, for shooting with intent to kill. W e under s t an d Long is going on pretty favourably, but is not yet considered out of danger.—Leeds Intelligences. LORD BROUGHAM'S NEW COUNTY COURT S BILL—. On Saturday Lord Brougham's new Bill on the County Courts was printed. There are 28 sections in the 13ili. By this Bill, which was printed by order of the House of Lord:, the salaries of the judges may be incr eased to 1,500/. a y ear ,' and of the clerks to 700 /. a ' e ar.

The following telegraphic dispatch was received yesterday by the French Government :—" Madrid, Feb. Bth, 1 P.M. The QUEEN has entered on her con valescance." Ttie Patrie of yesterday formally contradicts the unfavourable accounts published of her MAJESTY'BCOII - in the Constitutionnel,as contained in a Madrid letter. It declares them to be completely destitute of foundation. The Paris correspondent of the Times thus expa tiates on the punishment of th e garote : " The yarote a i l is a death of infamy in Spain. The ceremony that accompanies the execution of a criminal in that way is original. But whether it be by the garote or the musket, the moment a man is doomed, either by court-martial or by an ordinary tribunal, he is regarded in some sort as having a l rea d y almost expiated his crime, and, as it were, no lo nger b elonging to the world. He is treated with the u t most care— he is supplied with everything ho wants durin g th e l ast twelve hours he . passes in caia . lla—and every request of his is relattended to. No matter what delicacy ho requires for his last meal, if it can at all be had, it is supplied him—and he is treated w i t h the utmost defer once by those about him. In fa c t, h e i s regarded with a species of superstitious awe. On the morning of the execution, and at the boar appointed, he is taken from the chapel of his prison, where he has been attended in cessantly by the chaplain, aided, if ho wished for it by the parochial clergy, and the memb ers of the religious confraternities, who employ the most endearing, the most soothing expressions to reconcile him to his fate, and who seldom fail to produce an effect on the most hardened heart. When the last stroke of the bell is heard the prisoner is clothed in a bright yello w gown, something of the same fashion as a lawyer's, and his head is covered with a yellow cap, resembling in shape the French advocate's toque. A mule of low Size is placed at the gate, on which he is raised by the members of the religious confraternity. The animal is without a saddle, and is led with a halter generally by a child under 12 years of age. The prisoner has a book or paper in his hand, in which are printed or written the prayers for the dying, and these he repeats in a loud tone of voice as ho moves slowly along, accompanied by the clergy, who not for one instant quit his side; and preceded and accompanied by the religious confrater nities—whom also the military escort precedes and fol lows. As he passes along the street of Toledo flam beaux are burning in the balconies, and men, women, and children are on their knees, praying for pardon and ' a happy release from life,' to the guilty man who passes before them. A number of the members of the fraternities make a collection amongst the crowd for two objects first, for the widow and orphans the criminal, if he be married, may leave behind; and secondly, to distribute in alms, or in masses, for the repose of his sonl. Amongst the crowd there is no in decent mirth, no laughing, no picking of pockets; and, when the criminal has taken his seat on the platform, and the last turn of the tourniquet, and the last quiver of the bound limbs, tell that life has fled, the multitude un cover, and you may see many a lip move in hasty prayer for the departed. At the last moment, too, a groan is uttered by the multitude—but it is not one of disrespect it is as it were the last adieu to the soul as it quits its earthly tenement. The dead body is left seated in the same position for an hour, and then remove . d. No death can be quicker than by the garote. It is, fact, in stantaneous ; and the force with which the instrument acts at once makes the neck as fiat as the thinnest open pa Im."

In the sitting of the 6th of the Senate at Turin, the discussion on the budget for the War Department was continued.

The anniversary of her Majesty's wedding -day was ce lebrated at Windsor yesterday W ith the customary demon strationspect.

"Foreign-office, Jan- 13. " My Lord (Sir),—Representations have been mad e to her Majesty's Government on the part of sevens/ European Governments, through their representatives at this Court, on the subject of the proceedings of foreign refugees now residing in England; and it has been urgently demanded that immediate and effective steps should be taken by her Majesty's Government to put a stop to those intrigues and conspiracies against the Governments of various European Powers in which foreign retugees now in England are asserted to be en gagpd. "By the existing law of Great Britain all foreigners have the unrestricted right of entrance and residence in this country ; and, while they remain in it, are, equally with Briiish subjects, under the protection of the law; nor l an they b e punished except cur en (donee against the ew, and under the sentence of the orainary trihu mils of ju st i ce, after a public trial, and Cu a conviction founded o n ev i deece given it, open court. No foreigners, as such, can be sent out of this country by the executive treaties with other states, confirmed by Geverement, except persons retnoved by virtue of Act of Parlia ment, tor the mutual surrender of criminal offenders. however, or the subjects of any "British sobjeete, other State sidingrei in this country, and therefore owing war against the Government of any obedience to , may, on ceuvietien of being con with Great Britain, be punish: d by flee evrned in levying e st e a d t.' im Bt p=ment. Offenders in this resp ect ere equally open to prosecution by individuals or by the Govern ment. " Measures in the form of Alien Acts have been at different times resorted to by the British Legislature, by which the power of expelling foreigners, in case of ne cessity, has been conferred on the executive Government; but such powers, even when asked for only f or the main tenance of internal tranquillity, have been regarded by the people of this country with jealousy. " The general hospitality thus extended by our insti tutions to all who choose to come to England has from time to time been the means of affording a secure asylum to political refugees of all parties, many of them illus trious in rank and position. Among them may be mentioned kings and princes of the two branches of the Bourbon family and the Prime Ministers of France and Austria. " It is obvious that this hospitality could not be so freely given if it were not so widely extended. If a discretionary power of removing foreigners were vested in the Crown, appeals would be constantly made by the dominant party in foreign countries for the expulsion of their political opponents who might have taken refuge in Great Britain. Monarchical Governments might ob ject to Republican refugees, and Republican Governments might object to Royalist refugees; and it would be diffi cult to defend such hospitality, which would then be founded upon favour, and not upon equal laws. " It is the earnest wish of her Majesty's Government to promote as far as is in their power the pence. order, and prosperity of every country with which they are in friendly alliance; but jthey do not think that any ground exists which would justify them, on the present occasion, in applying to the Legislature for any extraor dinary or further powers in reference to foreigners resi dents in England, and they have no reason to doubt that this opinion is shared both by the Parliament and the public of this country. " With reference to the intimation that exceptional measures of precaution may be taken against British sub jects travelling abroad, her Majesty's Government can not complain if, while insurrection is raging, or its flame is scarcely extinguished, foreign Governments should take precautions against suspected English travellers. " Her Majesty's Government adhere to the principle laid down by Viscount Palmerston in his note of the 30th of September,lB4B, to the United States' envoy at this Court, in relation to certain citizens of the United States, who had come direct thence to Ireland, then i n a state of partial insurrection. " Lord Palmerston did not in that note ask for any change in the American laws, and he expressly for bore to press the President of the United States with representations against the offenders, but merely said that those who visited a country in a state of insurrection must take their chance like persons whom curiosity might lead into a field of battle; and that the American Government must not take it amiss if citizens of the United States who visited Ireland at that time were involved in the consequence of measures aimed at men of a different description. The measures, however, to which he alluded were taken with reference only to persons to whom, under the peculiar circum stances of the moment, suspicion attached. But it would be in the highest degree unjust and unworthy of the enlightened character of any European Govern ment, and wholly unwarranted by the course pursued by the British Government on that occasion, to put vexa tious impediments in the way of unoffending English travellers, be way of retaliation fer the acts of foreign refugees in England. " While, however, her Majesty's Government cannot consent, at the request of foreign Governments, to pro pose a change in the laws of England, they would not (Ally regret, but would highly condemn, any attempts on the part of foreign refugees in England to excite insur rection against the Governments of their respective countries. Such conduct would be considered by her Majesty's Government as a flagrant breach of the hospi tality which those persons enjoy. The attention of her Majesty's Government will con tinue to be directed to the proceedirgs of suspected fo reign refugees in this country, and they will endeavour by every legal means to prevent them from abusing the hospitaleyt so liberally accorded to them by the British laws, to the prejudice of countries and Govern mints iu amity and alliance with Great Britain. , ' You will communicate a copy of this dispatch to the Secretary of State. "1 am, &c., " GRANVILLE." DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Lucia di Lammermoor was performed last night, the part of Edgardo being personated by Mr. Sims Reeves. The frequency with which this popular vocalist has un dertaken this character in the metropolis renders remark now nearly superfluous. That the public admire him in this character is incontestable; and had there been a dif ference of opinion on the matter, last night's representa tion must fairly have set it at rest. The house was full from the commencement—the pit overflowing, and the galleries crowded. The reception accorded to Mr. Sims Reeves was undeniable in its warmth and unanimity. The great points of his performance, which it is unnecessary to describe, excited an enthusiasm without bounds; and not only was he called for at the end of each of the three acts, but also after one or two special pie ces , in h te o res t t r.e b a y ts th it e .

EXTENSION OF THE WELLINGTON BARRAGES.--It having been deemed necessary to make more effective pro vision for the accommodation of the household troops, nume• rous workmen have for a considerable period been actively engaged in making extensive additions to the Wellington Barracks, Birdcage-walk. One portion, which is intended for the non-commissioned officers , is just completed. It is situated at the west end, and forms a sort of wing to the main building; another portionhas within th ese f ew wee k s been commenced at the east end, which is to be appropriated as quarters for the officers, and considerable progress has al ready been made by the workmen in the employ of Messrs. T. and W. Piper, the contractors. The foundations are being constructed with considerable strength, of Yorkshire landing stones, each about four feet square, and no less than six inches thick.
