JULLIEN has the honour to state that his Annual Series of Concerts will commence TO-MORROW (FRIDAY), OCTOBER 30, 1846, and be continued FOR ONE 310NflI ONLY. M. JULLIEN has great regret in announcing that he is impera tivcly called upon to terminate this Series of Concerts at a period so unusually early, but the new Proprietors of the Theatre having stipu lated for possession of the premises on Tuesday, December Ist, in order to commence the demolition and rebuilding of the interior, for their grand Italian Opera, M. JULLIEN has no alternative. The last Concert will, therefore, most positiveiy take place on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2Srit. Notwithstanding, however, the shortness of the Season, M. JULLIEN has determined to present to his patrons every possible attraction, and has made such arrangements as will afford them Four Weeks of Unrivalled Musical Entertainment. During the recess he has composed a new Grand Descriptive 3lilitary Quadrille, to be entitled. "THE BRITISH ARMY QUADRILLE," and intended as a companion to " The British Navy," which was last winter honoured with such distinguished approbation. In order to render complete the Grand and Novel Effects intro duced in this Piece of Music, 31. JULLIEN has (by the kind conde scension of the Military Authorities) succeeded in engaging, (entirely In addition to his own complete and numerous Orchestra), FOUR DISTINCT MILITARY BANDS, viz. The Band of HER MAJESTY'S 2nd LIFE GUARDS, under tha direction of Mr. WAETZIG (by the kind permission of COLON ..L WILLIAMS) ; The Band of HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL HORSE GUARDS, BLUE, under the direction of Mr. TUTTON (by the kind permission of COLONEL SMITH) ; The Band of HER MAJESTY'S GRENADIER GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. SCIIOTT (by the kind permission of COLONEL HOME) • and The Band of HIM MAJESTY'S COLDSTREAM GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. GODF REY (by the kind permission of COLONEL SHANE). These Four Grand Military Bands will, during the progress of the Quadrille, ba combined with the Concert Orchestra, and form a Musical Ensemble at once novel and extraordinary. The whole conducted by M. JULLIEN. The immensely increased expense incurred by the above arrange ments is evident. The Prices of Admission will, however, remain as formerly; 31. JULLIEN (having considerably enlarged the space allotted to the Promenade) intending to trust for his remuneration to an increased number of Visitors, rather than to an augmentation in the prices of admission.

SUICIDE FROM DISAPPOINTMENT IN MARRIAGE. — An inquest was held on Tuesday evening at the Old Parr's Head, Aldersgate-street, before Mr. Payne, on the body of Ann Ayleff, aged 24. Thomas Ayletf; shoe maker, of Maidenhead-court, said that the deceased, his daughter, had for some time past complained of pain in her head, and had frequently said she feared she should go out of her mind. On Monday morning as she had passed a restless night, witness lett her in bed while he went down stairs t o get t h e breakfast ready, and on re turning in about a _natter of an hour, found her hang ing to the top of the Dedstead, and quite dean. She b had rmed an acquaintan ce with, and wished to . a y rung sold ier, but witness objected to the marriage , marry ,on ceount . of . his being in the army. lie came a few weks a go in his regimentals, and hearing witness's objection that he was not able to support a wife, he seemed to agree to the reasons . given against the marris e, and said be hoped that his uncle would purchase his ddcharge from the army. The deceased and the soldier then took leave. Witness had no doubt that her grief when the match was broken off was tile chief cause of her illness. Other witnesses said that the deceased had grieved much at her mother's death, six months ago, and since then had had a great fancy for going to graveyards, i particu larly that where her mother w as buried. he j ury re turned a verdict of " Temporary i nsan ity.

Comprising the Ike of 31 ARY of MODENA, Consort of James 11. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. " One of the best biographies we owe to Miss Strickland's pen."— Literary Gazette. " This volume is one of the most interesting of Miss Strickland's very interesting series."—Weekly Chronicle. " A delightful piece of biography. No words can sufficiently ex press the sense which every intelligent reader must feel of the re search and labour which Miss Strickland has bestowed on her at tractive and interesting work."—Observer. " The most satisfactory volume of the series. Miss Strickland, through the intervention of M. Guizot, has had access to a variety of unpublished documents, deposited in the secret archives of France, and some exceedingly curious details, obviously never intended for the world, have thus been brought to light." —Court Journal. " A most charming biographical memoir. We conclude by ex pressing our unqualified opinion, that we know of no more valuable contribution to modern history than this ninth volume of Miss Strickland's ' Lives of the Queens of England.' "—Morning Herald. 1 Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborcugh-street. the day, and it is not here alone I raise my voice in cc kmowledgment to Sir Robert Peel for that. I did so in ' Parliament—in my place in the House of Commons, and in the name of the Irish people I thanked him, and I , received the personal acknowledgments of Sir Robert Peel, who came cross the House to thank me for what he called an act of generosity, but which I call an act of justice." Mr. O'CONNELL must, however, have forgotten that " active measures" taken by that illustrious statesman, namely, the importation of considerable quantities of Indian meal, were done in secresy that Sir ROBERT PEEL himself acknowledged the absolute necessity of not interfering with the ordinary arrange ments of commerce, and repudiated the notion of having intended to make a Government-monopoly by destroying the wholesome competition of indivi duals. He has overlooked the impolicy, to say the very least of it, of destroying all mercantile in dustry in Ireland by rendering the corn-markets of that country merely the scene of state barterings. We are persuaded that Ireland is not to be relieved, cannot be relieved, ought not to be relieved, by the establishment of Government depots of provi sions. That would, in effect, be nothing more than the removal of one calamity for the substitution of, if possible, one still greater. The establishinent of Go vernment depots, taken in connexion with the Go vernment employment afforded to the poor, would be nothing less than the establishment of the odious truck-system upon a gigantic and ruinous scale. Nevertheless, while we recognise the impossibility of acceding to this recommendation of Mr. O'CONNELL, we honour him the mere for the sentiments in which that proposition originated. We be hold, in the very extremity of the remedy propounded by him, the earnestness of his corn misseration for his countrymen, and the intensity of his desire to ameliorate their sorrows. While she possesses hearts so alive to her sufferings, and coupled with intellects so active for the discovery of their panacea, Ireland need never despair. Even at this awful crisis of her existence there is hope for her in the language of her most eminent coun tryman. What does DANIEL O'CONNELL say to Ire and at this moment ? He says this : " I belong to no party but the people. I ought to be attached to the people. I owe them everything, and they owe me nothing.—(No.) Let no man mistake me, when I say the people I do not mean merely the poor man, who earns his precarious livelihood with the spade by the sweat of his brow, or the cottier or the farmer, but everybody from the highest peer of the realm to the lowest peasant boy. 'ris my solemn duty to attend to their interests—to watch over the rights of the land lords, and the interests of the tenant and the labourer, and to do injustice to no man, to secure better prospects for the country and to devote my heart and soul to the best fulfilment of my duty to you." Animated with these sentiments, the Hon. Member for Cork has proceeded to Dublin to represent to the Lord-Lieutenant—to that Lord-Lieutenant whom he has so frequently and so justly eulogised for his patriotism, his benevolence, and his enterprise — to represent to Lord BESBOROUGH the urgency of this / juncture, the wants of the Irish millions, and the almost exhausted state of their patience. Ireland could not have a better advocate in her most terrible afflictions. 'We shall anticipate that the prayers of O'CONNELL will be hearkened to by our Liberal Go vernment. We, on Tuesday, alluded to the visit which the Hon. and Learned Member for Bolton, in pursuance of his annual custom, paid to his constituents, for the purpose of explaining his Parliamentary conduct during the past session. We then adverted solely to the great and absorbing question of free trade, on the success of which, and the recognition of its great principle by the Legislature, the vast number of ad herents it has gained amongst persons of every class in society, from the wisest and most intellectual of our statesmen, the highest and most patriotic of our nobility, to the humblest artizan, who earns his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, and who sees in its adoption the prospect of increased prosperity to his trade and increased comforts for his family, the Learned Doctor, one of its earliest and most zealous advocates, may well utter joyous pceans. But there were other subjects introduced in his speech, which, although of less vital importance to the public generally, and having less influence on the national wealth, cannot but prove deeply interesting to the philanthropist, to the man who feels himself concerned in anything relating to the welfare and happiness of his fellow-men. First in importance ...a .f this class stands the question of military flogging —a ur bleb are now understood by the nation, against which the voice of public opinion has been most loudly uplifted. Dr. BowuuiG had long been the opponent of that vile description of punishment which, in nine cases out of ten, destroyed the moral character, the feeling of in dependence and honour of every man who had been subjected to the deep degrada ion of the lash, and hich, often inflicted for the most trivial and nificant cause, occasioned an untimely and painful death to the unfortunate victim. Had Dr. BOWRING rendered no other service to the public, had he been an indolent and careless man, negligent of the great duties which every representative of the people takes upon himself on entering the Senate-house, he would have gained immortal honour for the course he adopted on that question. He seized the golden moment, he availed himself of the intense enthusiasm pervading the public mind, which had been thoroughly aroused by the horrors detailed at Hounslow during the proceedings of the inquest held on the body of the martyred Wirer& He gave notice in the House of Commons of a motion for the total and immediate abolition of the abomination, and firmly resisted all solicitations to relinquish or delay his motion until the public mind was less excited and less sensitive on the subject; he was told that he might embarrass the authorities if he brought forward so ticklish a ques tion, and assured that if he would only wait every thing that was possible under existing circumstances would be done ; but the Learned Doctor was too well aware of the real value of such assurances to let slip the favourable opportunity ; he knew that every valuable and important reform has been obtained by the pressure from w ithout, that he might never again find a moment so propitious, and gallantly and un hesitatingly he persevered. His answer to the so licitations so made to him is deserving of the highest credit, and should be a model to every independent senator under similar circumstances. It was, " that if any fragment was left of the system, that system he would still denounce and endeavour to overthrow?' His firmness and perseverance were not thrown away. A vast improvement was effected; new rules and regulations were promulgated, by which the number of lashes which could by any possibility be inflicted was reduced to fifty, one fourth part only of the number that was formerly sanctioned. The oc casions, too, on which the cat could be called into operation were greatly restricted, and the greatest precaution directed in every case, in order to ascertain that the victim was in such a state of health 'iii to enable him to endure the torture without danger to his life. Had the Doctor been satisfied with the as surances so made to him, it is, to say the least of it, probable that the measure of reform would have been more tardily granted, and of a more stinted character. He was asked if he would be satisfied with these re gulations ? but his answer was, "No; while there is a power to inflict one single lash on the back of the soldier I will still protest, and divide the House ;" and to that pledge he continued faithful; he brought forward the subject in a speech of the most thrilling pathos, the highest eloquence—one that will not speedily be forgotton by any person who had the good fortune to hear it, and which, although he failed on that occasion in obtaining a majority, planted the good seed that must speedily come to maturity an , bring forth its fruits in due season. We need not ti urge the Honourable Gentleman to persevere in this course ; we doubt not that ,he will do so, and bring all the energies or his enlightenet awl powerful mind to bear on the question wheresoever and howsoever it is suffered to exist We would remind him that our naval brethren are still exposed to the cat, that to them its horrors have not been mitigated, that a commander may still at his were will and pleasure sentence any one of his seamen to the gangway, where four dozen lashes, fully equivalent in point of severity, it is said, to two hundred lashes, as administered in the army, maybe given without his being permitted to speak in his own defence, or even to inquire the cause of his punishment; we would urge him to inquire into the manner in which the cat is still used in some of our prisons, where children of eight or ten years old have been flogged in the most cruel manner—where a boy of twelve years of age has fainted during the course of the flogging, and been declared by the surgeon unable to bear any more. These things cannot be suffered to continue unnoticed, and they w;ll afford 2n ample opportunity to the Learned Doctor for exert ing himself in the cause of humanity during the ensuing session—exertions which we most sincerely hope may be crowned with well-merited success. The other views put forward by Dr. BowRING were of the most comprehensive and liberal character. Full and equal justice to Ireland—the same rights, the same laws, the same recognition of privileges which, in every free country, ought to belong to every free man—the education of the people—improvements in ventilation and draining, and in the recreations of the people, were all touched on in the most masterly manner. There was one subject, however, which he omitted, and for which he might justly have claimed credit. We allude to the absurd and unjust quarantine laws, by which trade and commerce are fettered, free intercourse with other nations restricted, morality injured, and vast sums of money annually wasted and thrown away. Dr. BOWRING has called attention to the anomalies of the present system, explained the true theory of con tagion as adopted by the persons of talent and ability who have recently directed their attention thereto, and proved how useless as well as vexatious are the existing precautions, and through his exertions we may reasonably hope for a speedy amelioration therein. We trust that many other legislators may imitate the example of Dr. BowEING in rendering an nual accounts of- their conduct ; and if they as well deserve the approbation of those they represent in the Legislature as the Learned Doctor, they may fearlessly meet the people, and be certain of being greeted with the same unanimous applause that was accorded to the Honourable Member. The Diet at Frankfort has voted a recompense of .100,000 florins to Dr. SCUONBEIN and DT. BCETTIGER, the inventors of the gun-cotton, provided the federal military commissioners and the authorities of May ence, after seeing it tried, should pronounce it to be a substitute for ordinary gunpowder, and to possess advantages that the latter has not. The Diet afterwards adjourned to the 14th of January, when the question of the Duchy of Schles wig-Holstein, and that of the liberty of the press, will come under discussion. Basle city has followed the example of Geneva. Exasperated at the temporising conduct of the Grand Council on the subject of the Jesuits, the people rose on the 22d in open insurrection, and commenced un paving the streets. The Grand Council immediately resigned, and henceforth Basle city and Basle country will form but one canton. This, with the vote of Geneva, will secure in the Federal Diet a majority sufficient to pass an enactment ordering the expulsion of the Jesuits and the dissolution of the league of the Catholic cantons. The elections at Geneva took place on the 24th• Upwards of 7,000 electors voted. The result has been to give an overwhelming majority in the Grand Council to the Liberal party. Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. The mails of the 20th and 21st are still due. They have been detained by the floods in the south of France. The French Ambassador's ball, on the 18th, had gone off very brilliantly. The QUEEN and the IN FANTA, who were present, treated the daughters of CHRISTINA and MuNoz with such marked attention as to attract general notice. Mr. BULIVER was still at Aranjuez. The British squadron was to leave Cadiz on the 1 ith, to re-enter the Straits, and cruise along the eastern coast of Spain. The Duc D'AUMALE was to leave on the 20th, and the Duke and Duchess of 11101STPENSIER on the 22d, for France. These papers contain important news from Por tugal. The intelligence from Lisbon is to the 14th. This news fully confirms the intelligence of the arrest of TERCEIRA and the outbreak of a revolution in the northern provinces ; indeed it appears as if Lisbon was the only part of the kingdom in which the QUEEN'S authority was at present acknowledged. The Opinion gives the following extract from a letter received from Lisbon : " LISBON, OCT. 13.—1 t is now four in the afternoon.- The official account has arrived of the insurrection of Oporto. Terctira is imprisoned in the tower of the Foz. Tnli t ,,vg(l, 9 ,( o .t t la d Don Pedro the The Marquis of Loul6, husband 01 7- ‘th e rilnfaifa l)onna Anna, has put himself at the head of the Junta of Coimbra; the Conde das Antes presides over that of Optrto. "They have organised four battalions at Coimbra, which are to join the forces of Aveiro, in order to march upon the capital. " All the steamers—those of the state as well as the mercantile ones—have placed themselves at the orders of the Junta of Oporto." The King, FERDINAND, has taken the command of the troops in Lisbon, with SALDANHA as his aide-de camp. The Court, it is said, has applied to Spain for assistance, and the Spanish Government has ordered the Gallician corps to be marched to the frontier. Braga has joined the insurrection, as well as Oporto and Coimbra, and the troops of PEDRO V. are pre paring to march non Lisbon. The official journal of Lisbon, of the 13th, publishes a decree betraying the embarrassment and apprehensions of the Govern ment. The officers and soldiers dismissed in 1842 are recalled into service. Those who comply are pro mised reward, and those who refuse threatened with being treated as deserters. MADRID BOLSA, Our. 19 —The Three per Cents. were done atfor cash ;. the Four per Cents, at 21 1 / ; the Five per Cents. at 21. 3 / 1 ; . the Debt without Interest, at 6%; the Vales non Consolidados, at 8 3 / 4 ; and the Coupors, at 201 i. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They are filled with accounts of the destructive effects produced by the inundation s i n every part of France. The Loire has burst it s b an k s at several places along its course. Th e principal streets of Tours are under water, and all dire c t communication between that city and Paris is cut off. The Orlea ns and Bordeaux Railway is impassabl e , except from Orleans to Blois. At Nantes the Loire was rising rapidly on the 23d; since that day all communica tions with Nantes and Angers have been cut off by the inundation. The Same at Lyons had, according to the last accounts, reached an alarming height, and it was feared that steam boats, which since the commencement of the inunda tion had formed the only means of communication with some of the districts of the country, would no longer be able to ply. The progress of the Duke D'AUMALE to Bordeaux from Madrid, had been inter rupted by the heavy rains. He only reached Bor deaux on the 23d, twenty-four hours later than the time fixed for his arrival. The Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER were expected to arrive at Bayonne on Monday. The floods have completely put a stop to all the fetes with which they were to have been welcomed in the south of France. The Courrier Francais observes-- "Their Royal Highnesses, it is said, have, in conse quence of tie desolated condition of the provinces, de clined all the rejoicings which were in preparation, and which f orm too great a contrast with the general suffer ing. Consequently thefetes are countermanded, mid the funds voted by the municipal councils to celebrate their arrival are, by their express desire, to be applied . to the relief of th e people who are deprived of food and shelter." Cabinet Councils were held on Saturday and on Sunday, over which the KING himself presided, to deliberate on the means to be a dopted for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations. The Minister of the Interior was in the district of the Loire at the time of the inundation, and he ordered funds to be placed at the disposal of the authorities in the several districts which he traversed in his route to Paris. It is impossible to calculate the a mount of the pro pertt• which his been destroyed by this fearful cala mity, but that is not the worst—the loss of life, too, has been fearful. The papers still continue the controversy on the Spanish mar r i age, b ut no new argu ments are pro duced on eith er s id e. The only art i c l e of permanent importance in any of these journals i s one in the Debuts, on the ad vantages to t h e pu blic and to the revenue of a r e d uct i on of the d u ti e s. The writer thus argues his c ase : • "The advantag es t h at may est resu lt to the consum er, the treasury, the shipping inter, and the na val force of the kingdom, from a w e ll- org anised system of im p ost, have been proved b y experience. All that is gained politically by propo rt i on i ng taxes to the intrinsic value of things, and to the resources of the greatest number of men, is rendered evident. But what are the applica tions which France can make of this principle, and what is the aid that may be obtained from it for the develop ment of French navigation ? England, with twenty eight WilliVP of population, mourned at Wasp sixteen millions of kilogrammes of coffee, or I about six-tenths of a kilogramme per head ; she joins ' to that 20 millions of kilogrmmes of tea, of which about ' a fortieth part is consumed in France. Belgium, with millions of population, consumes 13 millions of kilo grammes of coffee, or about 2 2.3 d kilogrammes per head, or five times as much as England. The reason is, that Belgium taxes coffee only at 10f. the 100 kilo grammes, and she derives from it a revenue of 1,290,000 f. France, with a population of 34k millions, only consumes 144 millions of kilogrammes of coffee, or 4-10ths of a kilogramme per head. The cause is, that in France the duty is far more elevated than in Belgium, and if it is found to exceed but little the English duty, it must be borne in mind that the amount which is mode rate in England may be excessive amongst us, where money is of less value. The average duty in France is Blf. It is a high one for an article which, before cross ing the customs' line, is not worth altogether that amount. Can an article, the price of which is doubled by a consumption duty, be at its normal value? When the present duty on coffee was fixed, coffee, in place of being at 110 f. per 100 kilogrammes, was worth 300 f.; the duty then did not amount to more than the third or fourth part of the value of the merchandise. If this pro portion was recurred to, it is indubitable from the ex ample of Belgium and England that the consumption would be much augmented. And as 1 kilog. of coffee produces the consumption of 3 kilog. of sugar, it may be conceived what encouragement our navigation would receive from a diminution in the duty on coffee. In place of 81f. on an average, let it be placed at 25f. or 30f. Take for the increased consumption in consequence, only 1 kilog. per head—a moderate hypothesis certainly, 'since it is only the third of what is consumed in Bel gium, and less than England consumes of tea and coffee united. In this way the merchant shipping would gain the transport of 20,000 tons of coffee and 60,000 tons of sugar; the reserved navigation of our islands becomes almost doubled, and the treasury, in place of expe riencing any falling off, acquires an increase of revenue by the double sources of coffee and sugar. It is thus that the idea of the maritime aggrandisement of our country, if well understood, may be connected with the improved condition of the people, and bring into the trea sury, in place of being a charge to it. Such are the true principles of political economy, and works in which such ideas are strongly supported are worthy of the most favourable reception from the public." The Portefeuille, which on such a subject may be considered as an authority, declares that a modifica tion of the Ministryis determined on ; that Marshal SOULT will retire, and that M. Gunox will be ap pointed President of the Council.

No description, however highly coloured, no lan guage, however emphatic, no imagery, however dark and lugubrious, can by possibil;ty exaggerate the peril in which the population of Ireland are at pre sent placed. " Misery unqualified is in the land— misery unparalleled—such as was never heard of before !" exclaims Mr. O'CONNELL ; and that solemn assurance coming from that eminent authority is, to the very letter, truth. Winter is approaching rapidly, and with that winter all the most direful concomi tants of national destitution. Great as has been the scarcity hitherto, grievous as have been the privations of the peasantry—they are as nothing in comparison with those privations and that terrible and universal scarcity which are inevitable, unless prevented by the interposition of Government, abetted by the as sistance of ecclesiastical interference and the vigorous support of the landowners. Supposing the ope rations of the Board of Works to be only proportioned to its recent inactivity, and the pecuniary help de rived from the Legislature to be merely meted out according to that already afforded, the prospects of our sister island are' truly desolate, the probability of her emerging unscathed from her present terrific ordeal are wonderfully insignificant. But our expectations are not of this mournful character; we re too sincerely assured of the wisdom and hu manity of the existing Administration, and, beyond this, we ai.-e too . sangie of the emulation which trust his forthcoming remedies shall be contrastee, v‘ith chose afforded by his predecessor, to entertain ani such fearful anticipations, or to continue in suet utter trepidation fur the lives of our fellow-country. The dictates of huu.anity are sufficiently powerful to overrule the most fanatical parsimony ; the recommendations of safety will, in emergencies, dissipate the torpor of the most confirmed sluggard. At an important meeting of landlords and relief committees, held recently in Fer inoy, the Honourable R' presentative of Cork entered more largely into the consideration of the necessities of the people and the inertness of the subordinate officials, than he has done on any previous occasion. We are rejoiced to find Mr. O'CONNELL pleading thus earnestly for his country men in the days of their most extreme desolation ; we are rejoiced to find him standing forward as the champion of that people who never needed the voice of an advocate so much as at this particular juncture. After enlarging upon the intensity of the distress which is now so prevalent in the four provinces, Mr. O'CONNELL addressed himself more particularly to a consideration of the part already taken for its ame lioration by the present Government. On this point the Hon. Member spoke in the most feeling and impressive manner. He eviden!ly appreciated the responsibilities by which the benevolence of her MAJESTY'S Ministers was necessarily, to a great extent, restrained at all times. He knew that 'A hile immediate an i well-organised efforts to prevent starvation were incumbent upon a Legislature, that that Legislature was not the less bound to be cautious in the distribution of public money and in its inter ference with the ordinary machinery of the social system. Mr. O'CONNELL could not possibly have overlooked these most manifest duties of a statesman, lie could not be blind to facts which every successive year of his active career can only have forced more and more deeply upon his conviction. In the sight, however, of the terrific calamities which have been latterly accumulating in his native land, seeing before him the woes of an almost de spairing peasantry, knowing that in many a roadside cabin there are human beings on the brink of a death by famine, and conscious that those same creatures speak the same language, breathe the same atmo sphere, look upon the same landscapes, and are indi genous to the same soil with himself, Mr. O ' CONNELL is roused to a sympathy which in its turn roused his indignation. We honour Mr. !,O'CoNNELL for the intensity of his feelings upon this subject. There is always something noble and affecting in the spectacle of a patriot mourning for the miseries of his coun try. When we hear Mr. O'CONNELL exclaiming, " Things are coming to a frightful pass. Don't you authorise me to tell the Lord-Lieutenant that the peace of the country is not secure?—(Loud cries of 'We do.') Don't you authorise me to tell him that there is actual starvation in the country at this mo ment ?—(` We do')—that he will be responsible for human lives in countless numbers if something be not done ?—(llear.) I will repeat the echo of your voices to the Lord-Lieutenant." When we remem ber the enthusiasm of sympathy which such conside- men. rations could rot fail to excite in a bosom so suscep- tible to the wrongs of the Irish people, we are not surprised at what, in other circumstances, would inevitably have caused us some astonishment ; we are not surprised to hear the " Liberator" declaring-- " If Government do not e4tablish i'epots and scatter them in different parts of the country, I announce em phatically my opinion that the people will starve in thousands." We are not surprised at the earnestness of this ad- juration, because we remember the abyss of human suffering into which Ireland is being plunged, and because we remember that the man who announces this necessity for so extraordinary a remedy is ac tuated to its utterance by the depression of a patriotic heart. Mr. O'CoNNELL aeiduces, in support of his proposi tion, the example af",rded la s t w i n t er b y S ir ROBERT PEEL nt .

(From The Sun of Last Night., The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but prices were well supported. Saks about 6,000 bales, of which the trade took about 2,000, and the remainder on speculation. We are pleased to find a prevalent impression that we shall very shortly have a decline in the prices of grain. The wheat harvest being about an average, and the imports under the new corn-law very considerable, it doe, appear that the quotations have been run up to a point beyond what can be maintained, even allowing for the deficiency of the potato crop. It is satisfactory to see that there are continued large imports of butter, cheese, fruit, and other useful articles of consumption, from the Continental ports ; otherwise we should most ■acuredly have these also at most exorbitant prices, and it may be hoped that there will be abundant supplies of meat from America. To-morrow there is to be a public sale of American butter, laid, family beef, mess pork, and Australian con centrated soup, and it would be a great satisfaction if the supply for the present were adequate to allow of similar auctions daily. We believe American provisions gene rally have found more favour at the outports than in the metropolis, although they exhibit now a great improve ment in quality, compared wits the original consign meats. To-day the wheat trade, as on Monday, was slow, and prices had rather a downward tendency than other wise, the millers wisely refraining, from purchases. Holders, it is considered, will do well to avail themselves of present rates, as prices generally rule higher before Christmas than in the spring. The steamer from Halifax, with American dates, a week later than those brought by the Great Western, is expected by Friday or Saturday. The Funds are firmer to-day, and there has been a fair business doing. Consols are 941- to 95 for present transfer, and 95 for Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills, however, has not rallied. It con tinues at 10s. to 13s. Bank Stock has been rather better, viz., 205 to 206. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 958 4, and the Three per Cents., 934 8. East Indian Stock is at 259, and South Sea Stock at 105.
