Like OTHELLO, we would willingly silence that dreadful (alarm) bell" which at this p r esent moment "'fright s th e i s l e from its propriety." The agitation ti each day gaining ground throughout the country. 'Rifle clubs are already in meditation. Jot's Bm.r. is furbishing up his forgotten arms, overhauling rusty tirelock9, and getting himself into the densest state fog and b ew i lderment by t h e multiplicity of his ' iumit ""u 3 preparations. Rumours are afloat th a t our fleet h ai b een recalled from the Mediterranean. rhe good citizens of Bristol are awakened to a bor :id sense (f their defenceless condition. Dover is declared untenable against any military incursion from thy opp os i te shores of the Channel. Cannon mouldering on battlements overgrown with moss are trandled out of their obscurity, and pronounced, with a sort of despair, to be little better than useless. Muskets altogether obs o l ete in their character are thrown aside with the distills, inspired by the sight of such miraculous fab rications as t h e revolvers of Colonel COLT or the rifles of th e Chasseurs de Vin cennes. The old warlike sys 1p in vogue at the commencement of the nineteenth century is found to have been outgrown by invaluable and most impor tant improvements. Insomuch that, to the iTHE SIJN, surprilt of Englishmen of the old school it is manifest that the forgotten pharaphernalia of 1804, is altogether useless for any purposes of defence in 1852. Thereupon ensues a commotion very little short of actual panic in some quarters. Now a panic is, of all emotions, the one most pecu liarly calculated to interfere with anything like effi ciency of arrangements, or coolness of premeditation. The result, therefore, promises to be really somewhat lamentable. Too many precautionary measures are being suggested and planned by one wiseacre or another : so that matters are in a fair way of becom ing more involved than they have been hitherto. Meanwhile, in the midst of this disturbance, the people are even now beginning to look with sorrowful anticipation to the certainty of the increased expense consequent upon these undertakings. The memory of the additional debt incurred by the last war cannot so readily be effaced. Added to which there is every likelihood of the Kafirs having another comfortable " haul" upon the Exchequer to the tune of another million or so I Foreseeing all these liabi lities, the nation becomes naturally embarrassed as to the extent of the sums required in the way of defensive preparation. Just at the moment, too, when it was seriously begin ning to think of retrenchment Just when some of the gentlemen at Manchester, moreover, were talking of considerable reductions both in the military and maritime departments ! Nothing, surely, could be more unfortunately ill-timed and inapposite. And whence, let us ask, comes the agony of mind which has produced this remarkable movement among the po pulation ? Whence ? Why, to all intents and pur poses from the affright bred in the popular mind by the sinister prophecies of the more timorous or the more unprincipled. No rupture has anywhere taken place in the friendship sustained by ourselves with any one ,of the principal states of Christendom. Amicable correspondence is still maintained with all the Courts of the European continent. And, oddly enough, the possibility of war is only mentioned immediately after the dismissal of Lord PALMER. STO/4. How often have we heard that distinguished statesman reprobated by the alarmists as the fire brand of Europe ! The Fire-brand! And during the last five or six years he has been the very means of preserving tranquillity to England in the midst of all the battles, and sieges, and revolutions with which Europe has been shaken to its entrails:— deluging more than once with blood, and blackening with gun powder the palaces and the capitals of France, of Prussia, of Austria, of Lombardy, of Hungary, of Rome, of Naples, of Tuscany, and of the Peninsula ! During the whole of those tremendous occurrences England has been kept in uninterrupted quietude, thanks to the course pursued by this so-called fire brand, Lord PALMERSTON. Directly Lord PALMERS TON is ousted from the Foreign-office—but not till then—the people of England bear of wars and of rumours of wars with one or other of the principal powers of Christendom. Let us hear no more after this about Lord PALMERSTON being a firebrand between Great Britain and the contemporary states of either hemisphere. Men of common sense can no longer be bamboozled upon that head, recognising in the statesman thus preposterously designated the very one to whom the nation is indebted for its prolonged tranquillity, and who, nevertheless, at the same time so upheld the dignity of the empire, that the only talisman of safety required for an Englishman was the simple exclamation Civis Britannicus sum, or, in cases of particular emergency, the utterance to the remotest and most formidable tyrants of the earth of the dreaded name of PALMERSTON. Such talismans, however, have been broken by his dismissal from the ranks of the Government, and the first consequence of the appointment of his successor, Earl GRAN• VILLE, appears to be the terror of an invasion which is frightening almost into hysterics the old women of both sexes, whose cries of alarm are now resounding throughout the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, while reprobating in the strongest terms the folly of this outcry of the alarmists, we would not be understood to depreciate in any manner the wisdom of the innovations suggested and in various quarters adopted in the way of improving our insular defences. These defences we would gladly see mul tiplied and rendered in every respect more effec tual. Not that we are infected by the panic about an invasion. But simply that we regard measures of precaution as at all times advisable. We thought so when the Duke of WELLINGTON spoke out in his memorable letter to Sir JonN BURGOYNE. We thought so when Sir FRANCIS HEAD addressed his well-known warn. ing to the women of England. We think so still The same necessity that has always existed for im provements of the nature here intimated, still con tinues—not increased not rendered imminent— but replete with all its former exigence. Let us, then, multiply the defences along our coasts, let us augment our forces by land—or at any rate by sea — but let us not render ourselves ridiculous to the rest of Europe by the childish dread of an invasion, or irritate a friendly Power like that of France into unnecessary war by a system of the most odious calumnies and of the most insolent vituperations. The Irish Government could not have afforded stronger proof of the general feeling as to the deplor able condition of certain districts in the north of Ire land, and of the alarming point at which the Ribbon conspiracy has arrived therein, than by the issuing of the Special Commission which has just been opened for the county of Monaghan. In a few short weeks, five or six at most, the ordinary gaol delivery would take place. The Judges would arrive in due course, and the country gentlemen who were required to discharge the important duties of jurors, would have made their arrangements, so as to sustain the minimum amount of inconvenience. An additional task is, however, imposed on all these par ties, and a heavy expense upon the country. These things would not have been required on trivial or in sufficient, grounds, but it was of vital importance that the majesty of the law should be speedily vindi cated—that a heavy blow should be inflicted on the infamous system under which the fearful outrages that have struck terror through out the country have been coolly and delibe rately planned, and the atrocious edicts delivered to the sanguinary and reckless assassins to whom their execution was confided. Innocent blood—the blood of amiable and highminded gentlemen, who under other circumstances, would have been regarded as the benefactors of those with whom they were con nected—the objects of general respect and esteem— cried aloud for vengeance, and any delay or hesitation in bring the guilty to justice, or even in obtainin g th e ver di ct o f an i n d epen d en t j ury on th e i r guilt or innocence, wou ld h ave been yielding a tacit connivance . and sanc ti on t o th e revo lti ng s y s t em . It I:1311T suchunel 1p under c t u he ab ad le ministration of Lord CLARENDON apathy could be anticipated. The Noble Lord, while tempering t justice with mercy, and eady towhere ever indulgence could had always exhibited the safelyae leniently utmost d vigo . ur . in dealing be afforded,dealing with illegal organization s of any their existence so long e th x e ist s e a n d oeßli as the slightest appearance of perceptible. We find, then, that when neces sity of anticipating the usual assizes was e reco g n . d y ci the Th e two Common eve ry thing was conducted in th e most imposing form,s to give the utmost weight to the i mpressive solemnit Chi pea eflJs were sentustices of the Queen' s Bench down,an that the a u th ority of the two hi g hest judicial functionari es might not be wanting, and that, although great inconvenience arose from the absence of these distinguished judges fro m their respective courts at this particular period. In like manne r one of the principal law Officers of the Crown-was sent down to conduct th e prosecutions, and gentlemen of rank and influence in the locality called upon to act as jurors. If any doubt could have existed as to the pro priety of such a step, or of the existence of a wide-spread and organize d cons piracy against life and property, it would be removed by the admirable charge of the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE. IE3 Lordship prefaced his observation s by declaring that " it was, unfortunately, too true that alarge portion of tha t and of the two adjoining countie s ' of Louth and Armagh were pervaded by a rnischievous—a most mischievous association. There could de no doubt that, in these counties—ribbonism—for that was the name by which it w as known—pervaded in these districts in all its horrors, and with all its terror." From all the circumstances attending on the horri ble outrage, he then argued powerfully, so as to bring conviction to every unprejudiced mind that it was to the existence of this wide-spread confederation that the murder of Mr. BATESON was ascribable. He said, whether the murderers of Mr. BATEsON were actuated by private and individual hatred, or whe ther they were the official assassins intrusted to carry out the sentence of death pronounced by the Ribbon Society, it was not just now perhaps a matter upon which it was very important to be informed ; but there was one thing clear—these men, however actuated, never would have perpetrated the offence — nay, would never have attempted to perpetrate it--at the time, in the place, and under the circumstances it was effected, unless they were assured of that pro tection, and that support, and that connivance in crime which the Ribbon Society assures to all criminals, no matter how atrocions the offence which they perpetrate. There was no doubt in his mind that this particular crime was committed by parties who trusted for safety to that organization. Was he not then justified in denouncing this ter rible body as " the severest scourge of Ireland ?" Is it not to the atrocities perpetrated under the express directions of this Celtic vehmgericht, or at least cast upon those willing to assume the responsibility of any outrage, however atrocious, that the chief evils under which the sister kingdom has so long suffered may be attributed, which has prevented, and still prevents the influx of capital into the country ? Capitalists are proverbially a timid and suspicious race, and they will avoid places where there is not ample security for life and property. Heretofore there was that security in the north of Ireland, and therefore Ulster afforded a favourable contrast to the other provinces There was to be found peace and tranquillity, and their invariable attendants, prosperity and happiness ; while the sufferings of the inhabitants of the dis tricts where the law was set at defiance ex cited the sympathies of the people, who forgot their errors in consideration of their miseries. Now all this is changed, for the demon which has vanished from the south has apparently found an abiding place in the north. Let the people of Ulster, if they wish to save themselves from the fearful results of crime—results similar to those which they have noticed and deprecated in Limerick or Tip perary, determine to put down Ribbonism, and to banish it from the vicinity. If they exert themselves heart and hand for that purpose they may yet retrieve their former position. If not, the retribution will be as fearful as the outrages by which it was called forth. Let them be wise in time, for their future welfare de pends on their present conduct. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. We read in the Constitutionnel—" The Bente went up one franc yesterday. Hopes were entertained that a new decree would appear in the Moniteur of this day, to submit to the Senate and Legislative body the question of the Orleans property. We were unwilling to oppose, even by silence, that decree which pro nounces a return to the State of a part of that property. Our devotedness to the cause of Lows NAPOLEON, which we have always looked on since December 10th, as the cause of society, imposed on itself, on this occasion, a most painful duty. How rejoiced should we be if this rigorous measure could be subjected to a new exa mination, and no longer weigh on the Government of December 2d." In the evening papers there appears, however, an official communicated note, declaring that the report alluded to b'y the Constitutionnel, that a new decree would remit the question concerning the domains of the Orleans family to the Senate and the Legisla tive body, was completely without foundation. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic ap points M. CHEVALIER, Secretary-General of the Pre sidence, to the post of Secretary-General of the Council of State. The Vice-President of the Council of State has nominated M. ERNEST BAROCHE, clerk at the de partment of Foreign Affairs, his Chef de Cabinet. M. EMILE PEPIN-LEHALLEUIt has sent in his resignation as member of the Consultative Com mission. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has received from the King of SARDINIA a letter, putting an end to the mission of Count DE GALLINA at Paris, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. The letter in question was presented to the PRESIDENT by that Minister. At the same audience, M. DE Pito- VANO DE COLLEGNO presented to the Prince his cre dentials as the successor of Count DE GALLINA. Several persons were yesterday brought before the Correctional Police for employing abusive_language against the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the day when he went to the cathedral of Notre Dame to attend the Te Deum. A packing-case maker, named PRE VOST, was accused of having burst out into a stream of violent abuse against the head of the State 4t the moment when his carriage passed along the Q u ay Conti. PREVOST, in consideration of his youth (17 years), was condemned to only two months' im• prisonment ; a man named MOTTE was also proved to have used most violent language on the same occasion, and was condemned to six months' imprisonment ; and lastly, a basketmaker, named LERIDE, was ac cused of having used very gross language against the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the same day in a cabaret before some soldiers. The offence having been clearly proved, LERIDE was condemned to pay a fine of 100 f. and to be imprisoned two months. We read in the Union :—" Some persons have been surprised at not seeing amongst the members of the Senate the cardinals, marshals, and admirals, declared by Art. 20 of the Constitution to form part of that body. As these personages are senators ex officio, a special decree was not required to name them. Other persons have made the following objection :—The Moniteur names 72 persons, and by adding to that number the 12 senators ex officio, namely, four car dinals, six marshals, and two admirals, a total is ob tained of 84 members. But the number of senators being fixed at 80 for the first year, the new decree, they insist, must be in contradiction with the Consti tution. That is also a false interpretation of the Con stitution. Art. 19 certainly states that the number of senators is fixed at 80 for the first year, but that arti cle only applies to the members nominated by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The result of all this is that the Senate may be composed for the first year of 92 members ; and that, consequently, eight more nominations still remain for the PRESIDENT to make." It is said that the KING of the BELGIANS, as the husband of the daughter of Louis PHILIPPE, has pro tested against the confiscation of the Orleans property. The squadron of evolutions under the command of Admiral de la SUSSE, consisting of the Ville de Paris, the Valmy, Henri IV., Bayard, lona, and Jupiter ships of the line, Gomer and San 6 steam frigates, and Caton steam corvette, sailed from Toulon on the 21st. After passing the night and next day at sea, the squadron anchored in the night of the 22d off the Iles d'Hy eres, where they will remain a few days, in order to exercise the men at the guns. The Uranie, of 60 guns, was lying in the roadstead of Hyeres when the squadron anchored. The Genereux, which is to take on board some of the prisoners sentenced to transportation, left the harbour of Toulon on the 21st, and anchored in the outer roads. The PRESIDENT of the Republic was present at the representation of Guillaume Tell at the Grand Opera the night before last. He was accompanied by Marshal EXCELMANS, General RoonET, his aide-de camp, M. DE FREMONT, the Minister of the Interior, and Colonel NEY DE LA MosEowA. The Bourse was feeble, with not much business doing. The Five per Cents, opened at 103 f. 35c., rose to 103 f. 450.; and fell subsequently to 102 f. 80c., at which they closed for the end of the month. The Three per Cents. closed at 65f. 15c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,070 f.; Rouen, 660 f.; Havre, 260 f.; Great Northern, 5584. 75c.; Avignon, 230 f.•, Vierzon, 498 f. 75c.; Basle, 250 f.; Bordeaux, 430 f.; Paris and Straeburgh, 452 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 295 f .; A m i ens to Boulogne, 281 f. 250.; Paris and Lyons, 5624.50 c.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived. It is said that certain changes in the Cabinet are imminent in consequence of a division in the Cabinet respecting some project connected with the property of the clergy. A decree was promulgated at Madrid on December 19, increasing the import duties on woollen cloth., leather, china, and paper, from Jan. 1, 1852 ; but on the representations of the French Am bassador at Madrid, a fresh decree has been issued, declaring that such augmentation of duties is not to be applied unt il February 20, for art i cles com i ng f rom France and the other countries of Europe. The Bolsa was closed. GEMANY. The Grand D u k e o R f BADEN, who has been seriously ill for several week s past, has become so muc h worse that be is unable to recei ve hi s Mi n isters. His i situation, however, s not considered dangerous ; but as the health of in the her e di tary prince w i l l no t per mit him to take hand th e reins of governmen t, it is desired by many persons about the Court that the constitution shall be so modified as to provide for the accession of Prince FREDERICK, the GRAND DUKE'S second son, to the throne. The state of siege in the Grand Duchy of Baden has been prolonged. A Lutheran Minister, named EicanortN, in Baden, having attempted to re-establish the ultra doctrines of LUTHER, notwithstanding the prohibition of the Government, has been arrested, and, in virtue of the state of siege, declared " a prisoner of war." A letter from Berlin of the 25th says— M. Carnot, ex-member of the Legislative Assembly of France, has made an application to the King for leave to fix his residence 113 Prussia. M. do Humboldt, the old friend of General Carnot, and his colleague at the Institute of France, presented M. Carnot's letter to the King, who at once granted the request made. M. Car not, it is said, will reside at Bonn." The increase which the Mi n i s t e r o f War in Prussia intends to demand in the War Budget is stated to be between four and five millions of thalers. The Press of Vienna of the 24th, says it has been positively decided that the Indian mail shall in future pass regularly twice a month through Saxony and Cologne. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, JANUARY 29, 1852 SWITZERLAND. The Swiss journals state that the gendarme on duty at the Grand Saconnex refused M. EUGENE SUE ad mission to the territory of Geneva, because his pass port was not duly vtsid by the Swiss Embassy at Paris. M. SuE stated who he was, that he was exiled from France, and insisted on being allowed to pass through Geneve. But the gendarme persisted in refusing. At length M. E. SUE sent off an express to M. JAMES FAZY, stating the diffi cu lt y th a t h a d oc curred, and requesting his interference. In about three hours a mes senger arrived with an order of admission from M. FAzY But the inflexible gendarme refused to obey it. N.E. FAZY, he said, was not chief of the department of justice and police, neither was he his captain, and it was only those two functionaries who could give him messenger had consequently to be o rders. Another sent to Geneve, and he r e turned with the authorisa tion of M. GIRARD, chief of the police, for M. Eu- Pass through the canton. GENE SUE to HOLLAND. The Dutch Government has nominated a com mission, charged to examine, at least once a year, all the steam-engines employed in the country, both those in steamers and in manufactories.

Letters from Berlin announce the arrival of Lieu tenant Pim in that city, on his return from St Petersburgh to London. EARTHQUAKE AT BOURDEAUX. The Courrier de la Gironde, of the 26tb, states that a shock of earthquake was felt at Bordeaux, at a quarter past two in the morning of that day. It lasted from seven to eight seconds. Persons who were in bed fancied that some heavily laden waggons were going along the streets, or that a heavy piece of furniture was being pulled about over their heads. The shock was preceded by a kind of detonation ; two distinct oscillations were felt at about three seconds interval ; the direction appeared to be from south to north. The degree of violence of the shock varied in the different quarters of the city; it was more felt in the high houses. On the side of the Quinconces it was felt very severely ; the pictures hanging on the walls were agitated ; light articles of furniture were thrown down ; and windows were broken. In some of the Churches the painted glass windows flew in pieces ; the Church of Saint Pierre and the Cathedral suffered most severely in this way. Persons who happened to be in the streets at the time were seized with the greatest alarm ; they suddenly felt the ground tremble under their feet. The sky at the time was of a dark red dish colour, as if from the effect of a tremendous fire at a distance. In the country the cattle in the fields partook of the general alarm and uttered moans and cries. From accounts received at Bordeaux, from other parts of the Gironde, it appears that the shock was general throughout the whole department. At Libourne, the people were awoke by a violent shock ; at La Sluve, the shock was very severe, and several houses were damaged ; at Gradignan, the same phe nomenon was felt; everything appeared to be dancing about in the houses.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 Surat and 500 American were taken for export, and 1,000 American and 500 Surat on speculation.

Id. to Is. 7f d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a moderate busines was done, without any apparent change in prices. Cape of Good Hope papers of two or three days' later date have been received, but they announce no important change in the state of military affairs, and upon com mercial matters we naturally expect nothing satisfactory. The steamer Franklin, from America, brings three days' later news and a good amount of specie. The Money Market at New York continued easy. At Amsterdam, on the 27th instant, the Dutch Funds, which were at first rising, afterwards settled down to about thelprevious rate. Russian, Austrian, French, and Portuguese were lower, owing to the decline at Paris, but Mexican better. The estate of Messrs. Quarles, Harris, and Co., ac cording to the balance-sheet submitted yesterday afternoon to the creditors, showed about ten shillings in the pound upon the total liabilities, 43,2211., but under inspection 7s. 6d. will probably be obtained after all expenses are paid. The house dates its fall from losses incurred four or five years back. The English Stook Market opened with a slight tendency to decline, and this has since be come more confirmed. There have been some large sales for money, and these are reported to be on behalf of a great insurance company, in which case the stock will be delivered. A change of investment is the motive. On the other hand, however, the accumulation of bullion in the Bank, and the report that the return to be published to-morrow evening will show a great increase, should stimulate purchases, but that the resignation of Lord Normanby is considered an unsatisfactory circumstance, and the appointment of Lord Cowley is not deemed compensatory. To ag gravate the bad impression excited, we have, as usual, plenty of rumours, and among them is one that Count Walewaki is recalled. Consols were 96i I, and are now 96k -a.

Prices, there fore, are up for Great Western, Caledonian, Aberdeen, Midland, and South-Eastern, though at the hour of our writing there is a little feebleness apparent.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) QUEEN v. BLAKE. Sir FITZROY KELLY applyed to the Court for a rule to show cause why a writ of quo warranto should not issue, calling upon Mr. R. Win. Blake to show by what authority he exercised the office of town councillor for the city of Norwich. The objection to this gentletaaall holding the office turned upon a very simple point Air' Blake was an alderman of the city of Norwich, and vacancy having recently occurred in the town council o the borough, he became the successful candidate with out having previously resigned his office of alderman. Now, it was an old and well-established rule of law, that a man could not divest himself of a higher office by cepting a lower, unless both offices were in the gift or the same party, which was not the case in this instanoe• Mr. Blake ought therefore to hav e res igned his effieet° alderman, and paid the fi ne o f 50 1 . b e f or e he put OP ' °r the office of councillor. The Court would perceive the.' otherwise, it would be in th e power of a ward to al!: gown an alderman by electi ng him a town councillor,. on the other hatiel, it would enable the alderman h,11:: self to evade paying the fine of 501. imposed on a 144 ' ment by the Municipal Corporations Act.
