At the northern outports, about 1,200 head of each kind of stock have been landed from Hol land and Germany, in fair average condition. The supply of foreign stock on sale to-day, Sheep and eslves in particular, was somewhat extensive, but its •g'•.neral quality was inferior. The primest Sheep and Calves moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the demand was in a sluggish state. There was a decided increase in the numbers of English-fed Beasts on offer, at least a moiety of which was, however, beneath the 'middle quality. As the attendance of both town and country buyers was somewhat numerous, the very primest Scots were in fair, though not to say brisk in quiry, at, in most instances, Friday's advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b. All other breeds moved off slowly, and that day's currencies were with difficulty supported. At the close of the market a total clearance of the Beasts was not effected. :From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots, Short-horns, &e. ; from the Northern counties, 400 Short-horns ; from the Western .and Midland districts, 1,000 Herefords, Bunts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots, 74 coming to hand per railway, the re mainder by steamers. Even the time of year considered, the supply of Sheep was good, both as to number and quality. For all breeds, but more particularly for the best old Downs, the sale was steady, at prices fully *goal to those paid on this day se'nnight. The highest figure for Mutton was ss. per 81bs. The sale for Lambs Was in a sluggish state, and the top price did not reach Ss 6d per Sibs. We were very heavily supplied with Calves, yet a full average business was transacted in that description of stock, at cur quotations.

Since our last report these markets have been but !moderately supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered in the metropolis and iii the provinces, but its general quality has proved extremely good.

The House sat this morning to hear appeals. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, :Lord Campbell, and the Bishop of Hereford. THE PRINCIPAL OF GLASGOW COLLEGE V. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL. The arguments in this appeal which was commenced on Thursday last were resumed to day. The case came before their Lordships upon an appeal from the decision 'of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The question - raised by the appeal was, whether a charity founded by the will of John Snell, in the reign of King Charles the IL, ought now to be made more effectually conducive to the supply of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Scot land with clergymen born in Scotland, and educated partly at Glasgow College, and partly at Oxford, accord ing to the view of the founder's intention, taken by the information and the decree. John Snell, who was a native of Scotland, but who settled at Uffeton, ill the county of Warwick, by his will, bearing date the 29th day of December, 1677, and republished on the 6th of August, 1679, gave the manor and lands of - 04feton, and all his freehold, and leasehold, and T.i,ersonal estates, subject to certain charges, to his executors, upon trust, which he proceeded to declare in the following words :—" Upon trust that th e pro fi ts and product thereof may be employed and disposed of for the anintenance and education, in some college or ball of the University of Oxford, to be ap pointed by the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, Master, and President, for the tame being, or any three of them, in such proportions and with such allowances, and in such manner as they, or any three of them, shall think fit, such and so mr.ay scholars born and educated in Scotland, who shall each of them have spent three years in the College of Glasgow in that kingdom. And my further will and mind is, that every such scholar and scholars upon each of their admission to such college or ball as aforesaid, shall be bound and obliged by such se curity as the said Vice Chancellor, Provost, Master, or Preside n t, f or t h e t i me b e i ng, or any three of them, ?shall think fit, to some person or persons to be by them, or any three of them, hereunto appointed, that the said Scholar or scholars shall respectively forfeit and pay to that college or hail, whereof or wherein be or they shall be respectively 'Admitted, the sum of 5001. a piece of `lawful money of England, if he shall not enter into holy orders, and if he or they shall at any time after such his or their entering and admission take or accept of any spiritual promotion, benefice, or other preferment what soever within the kingdom of England or dominion of Wales, it being my will and desire that every such scho lar so to be admitted shall return into Scotland, and there be preferred and advanced as his or their capacity and parts shall deserve, but iu no case to come back into Ingland, nor to go into any other place, but only into the kingdom of Scotland for his or their preferment.' The testator died in 1679, and on the 13th of Septetn her, 1679, his will was proved in tho Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Nothing appears to be known about the personal history of the testator, except that he was educated in Glusgow College, under the tuition of Sir James Dalrymple, afterwards Viscount Stair; and that, in 1661, he presented to the library of Glasgow College, a Copy of .. Walton's Polyglot Bible," and accompanied Lis present with a complimentary letter to Dr. Baillie, the then principal of the college. At the date of the I '4ll, and from that time till several years after the death of the testator, the Protestant Episcopal Church, with tuts rainietry of bishops, priests, and dea::ons, canonically eon.,ecrated and ordained after the model of the Church of England, was established by law in Scotland, and the two Established Churches of England and Scotland were the n in full communion with each other, and were agreed all important points ofdoctriue and discipline. After the Reformation the Presbyterian Church was established and white, the demands for all kinds of English Wheat was brisk, at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected prior to the close of busi ness. This improvement in value was the result of Ihe prevailing changeable weather, and the numerous un favcurible accounts which have come to hand this morn ing respecting the potato disease. With Foreign Wheat, we w are tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Rea'Ay fine qualities were in good request, and 3s per Ilie'arter dearer than last week. In the middling and riferior kinds ' rather an extensive bu s i ness was trans - 'acted, chiefly for inland consumption, at a rise of 2s per quarter. Bonded Wheats were held at a similar rise. There was a large supply of Foreign Barley on the !market ; nevertheless the Barley trade was steady, and last week's prices were fairly supported. No English Barley on offer. The market was very scantily supplied with Malt. Fine Chevalier parcels produced full curren cies ; but all other kinds of Malt were neglected, with out being considered cheaper. The supply of Oats ex ceeding the wants of the dealers, the trade was in a :sluggish state. Fine dry corn produced full prices, but - the out-of-condition sorts were somewhat easier to purchase. In Beans, very few sales took place. Prices, however, ruled about stationary. There was a better sale for Peas, both English and Fo reign, at a rise in value of from 2s to 3s per quarter. Indian Corn, both on the spot and for arrival, was held sit 3a per quarter more money; Indian Meal, 6d per barrel dearer. The Flour trade was firm, at extreme quotations. ) ) ...- 3 304 THE SUN, LONDO by law in Scotland, under the successive forms of John Knox and Andrew Melville, from the year 15(30 till 1610. The Presbyterians rejected, as belonging to Popery, all consecration of bishops, and all ordination by bishops of priests or deacons. The name of " priest" they Ie• jetted altogether. The name of " deacon" they applied to lay officers having duties similar to those of church wardens in England. The name of " bishop" was en.. tirely abolished by Knox, and having been restored under the Regent Mar, chiefly for temporal reasons (without any consecration or proper episcopal jurisfiic tion of the officers so named), it was succesgully opposed by Melville, under whose discipline the Presby terian system in Scotland first assumed that decided attitude of resistance to every form of ecclesia.t.inl prelacy which it has since maintained. The expression " holy orders" has never been known to the Scottish Presbyterian Church. The term " ordination" was not used by Knox, and was introduced by Melville and his followers only to signify the solemn institution of a pastor chosen by the people to a benefice or a parochial cure. In all these respects the Presbyterian Church, while established in Scotland, was fundamentally at variance with the Church of England ; and (besides many other important points of difference) the Presby terians also rejected the royal supremacy in matters and causes ecclesiastical. The Court below had held that the intention of the testator was to have young men educated according to the Episcopal system in England, and to secure their appointment to the Episcopalian ministries in Scotland, and that the trust fund must be administered on that principle. The appellants appealed against that decree. Mr. James Russell and Mr. Rolt were heard for the respondents on Thursday, and .2/I . r. L. Wigram with whom was Mr. Roundall Palmer resumed his arguments which he commenced on Thurs day on the behalf of the respondent. The arguments had not concluded when our Afternoon Edition went to press. The cases of Farmer v. Farmer and Fulham v. M'Carthy, stood on their Lordships paper for judgment to-day, but up to the time of our going to press their Lordships had not given their judgment on either case. Should their Lordships pronounce their judgment to-day we shall give them in our Third Edition. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) John Burgess and David Nisbet, two lade about 14 years of age, were placed before Mr. Bingham, the for mer charged with stealing several valuable diamond rings and pins, the prop e rty of his father, and the pri soner Burgess with having received a portion of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. David George Burgess, jeweller, 11, Castle-street, East, said the first-named prisoner was his sun, and as sisted him in his business. About a week ago witness missed a va'uable diamond ring and a gold pin set with amethysts. This circumstance led him to examine his stock, when he found that 24 rings and 13 pins had been 'abstracted from the jewel cases. His son having once be fore robbed him, caused him to suspect that he was the thief. He called Nina into the shop and then taxed him with the robbery. He at once admitted being the thief, and said that he had given the property to a boy named Burgess, living close by. Witness then sent for a constable, who went with the prisoner to Burgess's house, and took the latter into custody. Police constable 151 E, said, on Saturday night he was called by the prosecutor to take his sou into custody for robbing him. On going into the shop the prisoner, without the least persuasion, made a full confession. He subsequently went with witness to Burgess's house, and called him out, when witness took him into custody. The boy Nisbett said he hud taken the rings and pins, and gave them to Burgess. Burgess denied this assertion in tote, and protested his innocence of the charge brought against him. Nisbett was remanded for a week, without bail, and Burgess for the same period, but admitted to bail. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Clark, a young. man, was charged with having caused the death of a horse and seriously damaged a cab, the property of Mr. JaMOS Duke, cab-master, of the Curtain-road. William Doughty, cabman, said he was proceeding up the High-street, lloxton, at about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, at a pace about six miles per hour, when he per ceived a horse and cart coining towards him at a dan gerous rate. He was on the proper side of the road, which is very wide, but in order to attempt to avoid a collision, he drove his horse into the gutter. The driver of the cart, however, had evidently lost all control over his horse, and the collision inevitably took place, the nevi. side shaft of the cart entering the off side portion of the cab horse, which instantly fell dead. There were four persons in the cart at the time of the collision, three, however, made their escape. Mr. Inspector Pascoe said that the prisoner acknow ledged the accident to have been his own fault inasmuch as he had permitted another person to drive; he, how ever, added that he was very sorry for the occurrence. Mr. Duke said the horse was worth 10/. or 12/., he would, however, take 8/.; and although the cab was so much damaged he would accept 11. for it, making 01. compensation for the loss he had sustained. Mr. Childs appeared for the defendant. Mr. Hamm:l:animadverted upon the highly repre hensible practice of rapid driving in the public streets. He should adjudge the defendant to pay a penalty of 405., and N. for the damage and loss the prosecutor had sustained. IRELAND. MORE PROCLAMATIONS. DUBLIN, JULY 22.—A Privy Council, at which the Lord-Lieutenant presided, was held this afternoon at the Castle. Proclamations were immediately afterwards issued, placing the county of Meath, the city of Kilkenny, and the remaining portions of the counties of Cork and Waterford, riot already proclaimed, under the operation of the Preservation of Life Act. The extension of the Act to the entire county of Cork has been in compliance with a s t rong memor i al to the Queen and the Lord-Lieutenant from the grand jury of that county. The following is a list of districts proclaimed:— County of Kilkenny, city of Kilkenny, county Meath; baronies of Decies within and without Drum, and Cosh more and Coshbrine, county Waterford; baronies of Kerricurrahy, Kinsale; Courcies, Kinalmeaky, Barrette (north and south), Barrymore, Kiwaltalloon, East Car berry and Ivane, and Barrmore, county Cork. The announcement of the determination of Ministers to propose the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has produced great confidence amongst the loyal and peace able portion of the population of this metropolis. It was high time that some such vigorous policy should be adopted, as we were almost in the jaws of a sanguinary insurrection. Every account from several of the southern counties shows that the disaffected are ripe for an out break, and the leaders appear right well disposed to give the order. The .Nation and the Irish Felon made their appear ance to-day. In the morning some police were stationed outside the Felon office, but the newsvenders came up in a body, and obtained their supplies, regardless of the warnings of the police. The sale of the two papers to day has been enormous. Both the Nation and the Irish Felon exhibit, in every column, the insane ferocity and utter desperation of the rebel leaders. It is new openly avowed that the executive directory have determined to attempt an immediate in surrection, and the deluded people are called upon to rise at once, and "strike the blow." The design of these madmen is to produce a sanguinary insurrection, in which they hope that the parties now amenable to justice may possibly escape the punishment of their crimes against society. The Nation requires even " boys of fifteen to bear a hand in the national struggle." It is declared that " the cases belli " has arisen—that " the long-pending war with England has actually commenced." "We bade England," says C. G. D. (Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy), writing from Newgate Prison, " choose speedily between concession and th e sword. We formally proclaimed a war of independence. And now the time is come when that pledge must be promptly fulfilled, or as formally clislitinoured." And if the people surrender their arms !reldeeert the daring enterprise, G. C. D. will not regret his fate, " though the judge and the jury that await me should do the will of England without conscience and without mercy." The article thus concludes:— not answer. I k now she possesses passive courage ithout li m it. Th ere is a legion of me " How will I re l and come through the ordeal? I dare theln exile front or this battle w h o wou l d not yield an inch before u • death. The courage of endurance that makes martyrs is as plenty as it ever was i n any nationßut the daring and adventurous genius that begins a great undertaking —the fiery vehemence that does not op in to calculate, cr the penetrating far-reaching eagle spirit pru dence is instinct, but wh o , like Bacon, counts whom upon au dacity as the surest eleme nt o f success•—these are not so common. laland, in thi s t err i ble crisis, fall a victim to consciences whose sen s ibili ty i s not ' heaa y, bat morbid; and the greatest of all human ailkietion s may come of the amiable fear of doing wrong. God grantay the people and their leaders that wi s d om which has trust in the indomitable spirit and resources of a nation struggling for liberty; that wisdom which does not count upon the convenience of to-day, or the risk of an hour, but takes counsel for the permanent prosperity and ho nour of the country. " For myself I will say, that, if the people are robbed of their arms—if the clubs are broken up—if all the organization and discipline won with such toil are flung away in an hour—if the spirit of the country, so mira culously evoked, be again permitted to die out while the leaders of the people look on in dumb submission—if these things can happen after the terrible lessons we have before us written in the blood and tears of the nation, I, for one, will not curse the packed jury that sends me far from such a spectacle. With me war was not a natural or instinctive resource; I accepted it only as the last alternative, but I accepted it without reserva tion. I counted upon resisting at the first point where further delay would quench the ardour of the people. I knew well that there were limits to their patience— for they had been betrayed. That a certain point passed, thousands of bravo men would fly from the country in despair—that our self reliance would die out like a setting sun, in a single hour : that the obscene vermin who have grown f a t on our misery would re-appear and a new reign of fraud begin, a thousand times more hope less than the first. If that hour is at hand, or if ever it shall one, may I not stand upon Irish soil to see it. The knell of our hopes is the saddest I . sound can ever hear ; though the judge and the jury that await me should do the • will of England without I conscience and without mercy. " Newg a t e P r i son. " "C. G. D. In • another frenzied appeal, "The the Nation says —" It is a' Hour of Destiny," death -struggle no w b e t ween the murder er an d hi s victim Strike !—strike ! . Rise, then, men of byela d, since Providence wills it. Rise in your cities and your fields, on your hills, in your valleys, by your dark mountain passes, by y our r i vers and lakes and ocean -}vested h s ores—rise as a nation," In the Nation, also, Mr. T. D. M'Gee boasts that " the army of the Leaguo "—that League which the Freeman's Journal lass so earnestly invited the Catholic clergy to join—" has obtained within the week a hundred thousand recruits." Mr. M'Gce says—" We cannot now afford to sacrifice the club& They must be strengthened, increased, and extended;" and inasmuch as " Saint Ruth and Sarsfielci led only two provinces against Marlborough and Willi am ," and " three or four countiesin '9B bad nearly ended British dominion in this kingdom, ten or twelve are enough for the work still." Regarding the proclamations, the Nation says : " The proclamations are mere waste paper and wasted words. But they will be followed by acts, and for these the people must prepare. But aro the people to come alone into contact with the usurping Government ? Where are the popular authorities ? What is the Lord Mryor of Dublin doing ? Thes , are daily questions asked in every street. The Lord Mayor is doing nothing, and will do nothing. The people need not look to him, except it be to precipatate him from office before his time, an act of mercy' to the city cursed by his care, in which we wish them all speed and success." FURTHER ARRESTS. In all probability, before night sets in, Mr. Meagher, Mr. M'Gee, and two other promin, at loaders of the Irish Confederation, will be in custody charged with " felony." MEASURES UNDER THE PROCLAMATIONS. The police are already actively engaged seizing upon all arms found in the possession of unlicensed personF. Applications for liberty to have and carry arms are rigidly investigated. No clubbist need apply, while men of good character will meet with no difficulty in obtaining liberty to keep their weapons. The Freeman says— " The applications are in every instance made through the divisional inspector of police, and by them, after having instituted the above inquiries, referred to the licensers, Mr. O'Farrell and Colonel Browne. We under stand that the Government have become tenants of the house at the rear of the Committee-rooms of the Irish League, which are situated between the Head Police office and the Lower Castle-yard." KILKENNY. (From the Moderator.) The Government, in the meantime, seems to have taken, for the nonce, a wise step in calling a general system of police surveillance to the clubs—such a healthy end well-regulated method of ascertaining the material of those bodies as will deprive them of much of their danger. A return is ordered from every police district of the clubs within its boundaries, particularising place and time of meeting, names of president and secretary, whether or not their proceedings are public, and the number and rank of its members. By this means it will be easily ascertained what is the strength, influence, and danger of each of those secret societies, and which of them, should such measures afterwards become neces sary, may be indicted for conspiracy. It will also have the effect of preventing drilling, which has been going on in the club-rooms, and it is altogether satisfactory to know that steps are being taken, even though they may not be so decided as they ought, for counteracting the mischief of these societies. The Clonmel Chronicle reports as follows from Car rick-on-Suir " The police force in Carrick-on-Suir was on Wednes day augmented by the addition of fifty sub-constables, drawn from the reserves at the different stations through out the south riding. This will, with the military and the constabulary already stationed there, form a force more than sufficient for the preservation of order in the disturbed locality. Carrick- on-Suir has been a little more settled the last day or two, but even here the people appear determined to have a stand-up fight, and ready to turn out at a moment's notice. A man was met yesterday (Thursday) walking deliberately into Carrick with a pike over his shoulder; and we are informed that within the last few days all the young ash trees near town have been cut down for the purpose of being made into pike handles." The same journal gives the following regarding Mr. " have been informed that informations were sworn at Waterford, on Wednesday last, against Mr. Doheny, for delivering a seditious speech on Sunday, at the Slievnaman meeting. If this be so, and his arrest effected, he will be tried in Clonmel at the present as sizes." The Cork Examiner (Repeal paper) states that " Oa Wednesday evening considerable excitement was caused in the city in consequence of the arrival of four pieces of cannon and one mortar, together with a lot of ammu nition, and a large body of artillery. Two or three troops of Lancers escorted the cannon to the barracks, and were loudly groaned on their way to the barracks and their return to Ballincollig, by a vast body of people, who were much excited because of the proclamations which were posted through the city, and which, by the way, were perfectly unintelligible fifteen minutes after being posted, the populace having in nearly every in stance besmeared them with mud." A DEPOT OF FIRE-ARMS IN CARLOW. On yesterday (says the Carlow Sentinel) a large van arrived in this town, containing several hundred stand of arms, to he disposed of openly by sale in Dublin street and every fair and market. The owner has had a brisk and extensive sale in this county on a former occa sion, but at this moment the opening of a mart for the wholesale disposal of firearms is a circumstance that cannot fail to create apprehension in the public mind. We warn the Government of the consequences of per mitting the establishment of such depots in this county at the present crisis ; and we trust the local magistracy will, without a moment's delay, demand instructions from the Executive how to set in this emergency. If the Government decline to interfere, then let it be respon sible for the result, When certain counties in Ireland are proclaimed all but in open rebellion, it would amount to a positive connivance at insurrectten to allow the peasantry to arm themselves at these depots with pikes and rifles. NENAGIL (From the Guardian.) Rumour is alre a dy b usy in this neighbourhood. We have learn e d th at upwards of 6,000 club men, of course armed, aro to march inw Nenagh on the 2d of August, to watch the trial of Mr. Doheny, for the purpose, we presume, of intimidating the jurors, or, if not success ful in so doing, to break open the county gaol, if he be found guilty. This would be sheer madness, inasmuch as the military force in our town, although small in comparison with such numbers, would be sufficient (although not exceeding 400 men) to drive them into the Shannon. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that the Government should be forced to act promptly, and coerced into the suppression of these clubs, for the orderly and peaceably should not be left to such a con tingency as the mercy of an armed band of lawless butchering rebels. " TO THE PEOPLE OF WATERFORD. "Fellow Citizens —The English Government have this day issued a proclamation declaring you disqualified to bear arms —declaring, therefore, that you have forfeited the first privilege of free citizens. This is another act of despotism—threatening the liberties of the country— testing the patience and the heroism of the people. It is done to surprise —to alarm—to intimidate. It shall not do so. It has come too late. You know your duties well, and you will have the virtue to fulfil them. In Limerick, in Carrick, in Tipperary, the Arms Act has been in force for many months —and in those districts it has neither dismayed the spi rit nor checked the organization of the people. Imitate the example of these gallant men. Be firm, be steady-- organizs calmly, speedily, and fearlessly. The men in whom you now confide, and to whose ability and courage you look for guidance and success, will not fail to give you that advice which the perils of the day demand.

In consequence of information to the effect that 8,000 men, sympathisers with the Irish Repealers, were armed in Liverpool, waiting for the opportunity of a rising in Ireland, to burn and destroy all they could, the Mayor, Magistrates, Aldermen, and Councillors of the sixteen wards issued circulars, of which the following is a copy, to all the respectable and peaceable inhabitants : " Liverpool, July 22, 1848. " Sir,—We earnestly beg of you to attend a meeting of some of the inhabitants of this ward this day at the Adelphi Hotel, at half past seven o'clock precisely. " Considerations of no ordinary importance oblige to urge your attendance, which, be assured, we should not venture to do so strongly, were it not a matter of imperative necessity, a necessity the magis trates are now acting upon, and which they expect us and you to aid them in preparing for." In obedience to the wish conveyed in the circular, meetings of a 'post satisfactory character took place, and every possible preparation was made for any emergency which might arise. A large number of troops have arrived in Liverpool, and were to be seen in every direction on Saturday.

TIMES.—We never knew a more timely concurrence than that which is presented by the energetic proceed ings of the House of Commons on Saturday and the budget of treason arrived from Ireland last night. As far as concerns that appeal to the public which our legis biters are usually supposed to make through the medium of the reporters' gallery, they might ou this occasion have done all in duails show, and left their justification to the Irish columns of the Monday's papers. The case against the traitors was, indeed, so strong that Lord John Russell took only a few specimens from an abun dance of public materials, and no more thought of stating all that could easily have been adduced than a geologist would think of bringing away in his pocket the whole of a remarkable stratum. But the facts on which the Heuse of Commons acted on Saturday are quite thrown into the shade by the manifestoes since arrived. The authors of these documents are positively screaming treason against the British Crown. They are bawling and bellowing rebellion as if they would not only drive every Irishman to the act, but were equally anxious that every loyal Englishman should understand them in the strongest possible sense. Not only is it utterl:e im possible to put any weaker construction on these rabid harangues, but it is equally contrary to the wish of the authors. We should both astonish and offend them if et:, attempted to make cut that they meant less than rebellion. There are necessities which are great but most painful. It was a Fed solemnity which the house of Commons had to perform on Saturday morning. On a notice, given only a few hours before, the House tact at art unusual time, heard a Minister read an indict ment against a numerous party, thereupon suspended the usual forms of deliberation, ',and at one sitting passed through all its stages a Bill suspending from their constitutional privileges eight millions of men. There was an overpoe erieg unanimity. Four leaders of party, the Minister, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Hume, answered for important sections of the House, and whether in the genial ciuquence of the Conservative Chief, or the cold caution of the Reformer, expressed their consent to the measure. The House acted at ousee and as one. A deep conviction di rected its course, and a great indignation spurred it on. That conviction was as true as it was deep. That iudig nation was noble. We have said that all the leaders of party voted and spoke for the measure. But it received au affecting testimony, far stronger than any which party could offer. Sir Lucius O'Brien, the unhappy brother of the rebel Smith O'Brien, voted for the Bill, and explained his vote on the sounder t and most brotherly calculatiou of consequences. Of course, those who are at large will be immediately arrested end de tained; and those who, by some strange mismanage ment, have been allowed to propagate their treason through the gates of one of her Majesty's prisons, will not soon depart from that abode. Now, it is evident that under all contingencies this is a very good game for a traitor. If there should be an Irish rebellion forth with, the rebel in eirnythsaefcwslt:oleeaswi h e w v ah e vo r e , havebwe e e nh borneod l decimated i rn t o a thebt ee, .e o s r t l , d a n w d ill m n o e s honourablet Newgate or Spikeplace open heatp en Island. If the rebellion should succeed—which, how d a in burdeniwar,mpo s will iabnl deevent—hist of he d t h o c C o o r d n a i a l y: f d a h e n i s d: cell and elect him to the Provisional Government. It; on the other hand, the rebellion does not succeed, and half a dozen rebel armies, officers and all are annihilated in the attempt, the incarcerated chiefs will be able to repeat those celebrated lines of the Roman poet, describing the pleasure of one who stands on the shore and witnesses a vessel labouring in the storm. They will be heroes and martyrs without any further trouble, danger, or pain. We must say that we have never yet discerned the smallest spark of patriotism, generosity, or truth, or anything in fact but the basest selfishness, in these agie t,itors. There is not one honest feeling which they have not outraged over and over again in their career. For example, they have not only done no justice to the gi gantic self-sacrifices of England for Irish relief, but they have uniformly denied them, and published to the extre mities of the earth that England had deliberately with held all assistance, and had purposely destroyed millions by famine. With the tremendous example of France before their eyes, they are seeking to plunge their coun try into a state to which all the revolutions, civil wars, anarehies, famines, pestilences, and other disasters the world has ever witnessed, would furnish no parallel or approach. We should not be just to our own sense if from a mistaken courtesy we ascribed any good to these men. They have considered themselves alone in the matter, and are simply endeavouring to rise on the ruin of both countries. CHRONICLE.—The British Parliament has been placed on its trial, and has nobly sustained its character. We confess to having looked with some anxiety for the result. There is in the English mind such a real and inveterate jealousy of arbitrary power, and there is, moreover, so strong a temptation (for vulgar minds) to ! acquire a pot-house reputation by the noisy factiousness which assumes the semblance of that jealousy—that wr were not without fears lest Lord John Russell's Bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act might meet with a mischievous and discreditable opposition. We rejoice to say that such was not the case. Not only did the House at once, and almost unanimously, pass the Bill, but there was hardly a sign of base compromise be tween the wish for its success and the fear of appearing to econtribute towards it. To use Sir Robert Peel's words, there were felt to be two parties in presence, the Sovereign of Great Britain and the conspirators against her Throne; and the House of Commons took its part on the side of the Sovereign. There was some talk, indeed, about the necessity of" remedial measures going hand in hand with coercion," which is about as reasonable as to propose, in the presence of an armed and furious madman, that a course of physic and diet should " go hand in hand" with depriving him of his knife and putting a strait-waistcoat upon him. But as that view of the subject was very speedily dropped, when it ap peared that the House was thoroughly in earnest, and not in a humour to tolerate cant, we do not think it worth noticing at any length . When a populace is brought to such a frame of mind as to believe that, in the words of their orators, the land is to be given up to them for a prey, " from the sun to the centre," any " re • medial measures" of ours would only be cast back in our teeth. A posture of stern repression is the only one which they can appreciate. Lord John Russell's speech was is his very best manner—simple, manly, and straightforward. We are happy to give our un qualified approbation to the course pursued by Minis ters throughout the whole of this business, and are not prepared to dispute even the time which they have selected to bring forward their measure. There is, no doubt, a chance that the policy now adopted towards Ireland may be found to have come too late to prevent bloodshed ; and that the Irish populace, excited and in furiated as they now are, will not allow their leaders to be taken from them without a struggle, and if so there will not be wanting plausibility, and even weight, in the assertion that Ministers ought to have struck their blow earlier. But, in the first place, we are not quite sure that such an insane and hopeless outbreak might not I tend, more than anything else, to the permanent estab lishment of tranquillity ; and, secondly, we see very great force in Lord John Russell's argument, that it is of the highest importance to carry along with him, in a measure of this sort, a full concurrence, on the part of the House and the country, in the conviction of its necessity. We believe, with him, that the danger of immediate insurrection has developed itself daring the last few weeks in an unprecedented manner, and we feel that at an earlier stage of the " club movement" there would have been a very powerful and mischievous re sistance to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, while any less decisive measure would have done more harm than good. We farther approve of the direction in which Government have resolved to act—that is, in the form of their coercive policy. When all the world was urging them to " put down the clubs," we felt, as Lord John tells us he felt, that a mere enactment defining and prohibiting that particular kind of orga nization, would necessarily be ineffectual and nugatory so long as the law remained in other respects the same. When the Bill now in progress shall have passed, indeed, it may be followed up and supported, if necessary, by some measure aimed at seditious clubs, arid its operation will also be assisted by that of the Arms Act, under which the Lord-Lieutenant is now proceeding; but we are inclined to think that, patting aside the contingency of an immediate outbreak,.. r h i i ., Bill will be alone sufficient fur its purpose , it' nu) the and ably administered. At any rate, it will i t il he b greatest matter to a crisis, which is au object of and not by the importance, at a time selected by us, and fencing with rebels. There can be no paltering or the Executive such powers as those with which Confederates must is now about to bo armed. The c h a nce of fight ine. If they sutler lose their last either fight now, or to bo disarmed and un themselves officered, they will sink into apow erlese and dispirited mo b—and Ireland will be once more in that condition which we are, unforttutate)thye introduction of remedial measures— , compelled to recognize as the most favourable for which may be called the tran quillity quillity of impotenc conditoto When such shall be the case, we opportunity will not be lost, as it was earnestly trust the Governmentandthe and that the Legisla tor©atter 1798, this country will see the urgent necessity of of t, dealing with th e of their disaff ec ti on, and pre venting the . causes continuance of the lamentable and disgrace ful state of things of which we are now reaping the fruit. Now that her Majesty has given up her visit to Ireland, and all eyes will be turned t o t h e land of cakes, as the next place for a holiday trip, the cheap excursion train comes in most opportunely. A run to Edinburgh' or Glasgow by the London and North-Western and Caledonian Railway will be no very bad thing during the hot weather, for that is to come, and as Mr. Marcus has never promised what he has not performed, we hope he will be encouraged in his undertaking. At Whit suntide he brought up some 1,600 or 1,700 persons by his special excursion train from Liverpool and elsewhere to London and back, and his management was univer sally lauded.

SIR,—On Wednesday the 19th the Roman Catholic Relief Bid was thrown out on the motion for going into Committee; and the Parliamentary Electors Bill had a narrow escape on the bringing up of the Report, which was carried only by 66 against 62. Considerable 02position seem; to be rising against the introduction of a Sale of Bread Bill; the bakers peti. tioning and declaring that it requires of them things sub stantially impossible. There is always room for a sus picion, that the anxieties with which legislators are ever and anon seized, lest the public should be wronged to the extent of a quarter of an ounce in the weight of a loaf of bread or a pound in a sack of coal!, aro capable of being co existent with a readiness to see a stout monopoly in these or other articles, provided the advuntage went to the right persons. In the present case the bakers profess they are quite willing to tell their bread by weight, but that au enactment which demands that loaves after baking shall be of a certain precise weight and no other, is what neither baker nor man can execute. There is a prodigious disposition in society for everybody to plague everybody he can, through the instrumentality or law; the natural tendency of which is, ;or everybody to be plagued in turn. Bakers are un popular, in all; Ohrbarous countries; but the law ought nut to aid in directing popular malignity. On 'Thursday the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill went to a second reading by 216 against 9 ; one of the minority declaring stoutly, that the practices to be op posed by the Bill were what he had always followed, and always would. Something was heard too, of the argument of a former day, that treating was not for bidden to Christians though Bribery was ; which is copied from Fielding's chaplain to Newgate, who re quests that if people insist on drinking, it may be punch, as being a liquor no where spoken against in Scripture. On .Frida), more Sugar. But in the course of the evening the Government stated its intention of bringing in a this t o sus p en d t h e H a b eas Corpus Act in Ireland till 1 .March 1d49 ; for which purpose the House is to meet tomorrow. On Saturday the House met at noon. Lord John Russell moved the First Reading of a Bill to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland till 1 March 1849. The Member fur Nottingham (F. O'Connor) spoke iu reply. The Member fur Rochdale (Sharman Crawford) moved an amendment to the effect that remedial measures should be substituted. After speeches from a con siderable number of members, the First Reading was carried by 271 against S. The Second and Third Rvad ings were subsequently made without a division, and the Bill passed. ii state of things seems to be tide. Ireland is avowed to be within three weeks of civil ‘..:.r. Circumstances connected with the progress of the potato crop prevent the rising from taking place sooner. The Go wernu,ent therefore has three weeks start. The question is not a civil but a military one ; or at all events, though in the hands of the civil power at present, it is military in its bearings. It is a sad thing when men will fight. But when they insist on it, and particularly when they insist on fighting an established Government, those that take the sword must tike the chance of tailing. by the sword. Fifty years ago there may have been a state of things, which it' it were present now, might induce many in England to look with some ' thing like neutrality upon the coming contest. Be; no such s:ate exists at present. To hear the leeguat4e used in Ireland, it might be supposed that savage men called Saxons were stalking through the country, cooking little children for their dinners, and carrying off Irish maidens to their Castle of Dublin. Instead of which, they are giving their millions for the relief of Irish destitution brought on by the tellies of crops, and the great majority of them are working iu parliament and out of parliament, to do everything that may remove the memory of past discontents, as fast as the obstacles which exist to Irish improvement and their own, can bit-by-bit be overcome. To this may perhaps be replied, that the Irish have a right to break off the connexion with England if they like. This is not so clear; unless it can be demonstrated to general satisfaction, that either the Irish, or English, or both would be the better for it. And of this there is no shadow of showing, on any one of the three heads concerned. We have parliamentary government, a long way it may be irons being perfect, yet so good as with heaven's grace shall enable us to obtain all we eau justly want. Under such circumstances, men must be mad, or under the weaker form ~f mental malady, who insist on entering on a civil war. None could think of it, unless unfortunate persons under suilering which in part relieves them from responsibility, or men calculating on rising in importance in a parliament in Dublin, in proportion to the differ ence between Ireland and the United Empire. But when men insist on a needless civil war, the first thing to be wished is that it may be a short one. And of all ways to make it short, none is more likely to be effective than laying hold of the leaders if it can be done. The moment it is settled and clear that men mean to appeal to force, force becomes the rule, and can never be applied better than for prevention. Neither need there be any greater squeamishness about an enemy's press. Napoleon in Italy talked of the arme des proclamations ; and he was right. As soon as fighting is begun, speaking or writing in support of it is as much a warlike act as sounding a trumpet. A trumpeter, in the construction of the Mutiny Act, is a soldier with a trumpet; and the man who on a day of battle sounds the charge through the press, is as fair an object of hostility as any that can blow through brass. The Government have wisely not hampered their present demand with the consideration of other mea sures. But it is plain that unless the war should go out of itself, more must come. Among these, one which there is not much difficulty in perceiving, is that you of tho manufacturing districts of England must look out fur yourselves, in the way of guarding against demon strations which in the natural course of things the Irish leaders will endeavour to get up in your neighbourhoods, to prevent troops being despatched to Ireland. As it is not stated that the Irish insurrectionists mean to fight with sticks, it is a direct conclusion that your Special Constables will be obliged to show themselves under a more active form. As one accustomed to look at this kind of things, I cannot but think on the responsibilities arising out of the three weeks start, and how much might be done in that interval, which should have the effect of preventing mischief, a thing, as your surgeons will tes tify, vastly easier than cure. I have myself no charge; except perhaps a little as may relate to you. My advice to you therefore is, if things grow worse as they are pretty sure to do, do not resist a proposal to take your share with the rest of the country, in turning out at short notice forty th ousand Civil Guard, to keep things quiet in the absence of the regulars. The rough apportionment of such a force would be, ten thousand for the Metropolitan Districts and south, ten between that and the Trent, ten more to the Tweed, and ten for Scotland. It would be one in five hundred of the whole population; but the places more imme diately concerned should reckon on raising the double, to make up fur those where from thinness of population the plan might be inapplicable. As it is not intended to move from one part of the country to the ether, this requires the number to be increased; but the number stated would make disposable the whole of the regular force, and give a high probability of preventing disturbance in England. There is no force so cheap, as that which never comes to action. Above all things, we that intend to have a competent measure of Reform, but by other means than insurrection, must not Ire under the imputa tion of leaning towards the madcap plan which Ireland. sto mend the empire by establishing Communism in dt The model for such a force is an embo ym m e e n l in the year 1797 for a very similar purpose, of what were called the Volunteers being marched to preserve the peace of the country away to meet invasion.

One never g the am usement, fur it is at all seasons ever changing, ever new ; and the shrubs, flowers, parterres, and other (Tremens, exclusive of the fine collection of animals, form in themselves, a sufficient inducement for a frequent visit. The " promenades" of the season have been well attended, and that of Saturday was, perhaps, more brilliant and numerous in its company than any of those previously held. The weather, which was threatening and rainy in the fore part of the day, gave place to a brilliant sunshine in the afterncon, a change that had the effect of attracting to the scene of pleasure a great in flux of "beauty and fashion." Two military bands were in attendance, and by the alternate performance of the best operatic and other music, that part of the gardens in which they were stationed formed the grand centre of rendezvous throughout the day. We are sorry to learn that the lion, which has always been admired for his healty and noble appearance, has departed this life. So many others, however, were present on Saturday that we did not much miss its absence. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 5, A.M. The Cambrian has arrived.
