IRELAND. - DUBLIN, THURSDAY.—The curtain kas finally dropped, and vie last scene of the Irish elections has been played out. The contest for Donegal closed yesterday evening in a deci s i ve ministerial victory. Nevertheless, all things considered, the free-traie candidate made a re spectable stand towards rescuing a seat from the Pre tectionist party, and, as previously remarked, had Mr, Campbell Johnston, as well as others, been earlier in th e field, the probability is that the Government Irish majority of four votes would. have existed only in iaisginatien.

Barrister," in your impression of yesterday, respectuig the conduct of the Master of the Rolls for Ireland, viz., that to comment on the excellence of the ex ample which it was his constant hßbit to set, in always returning fees which ,he had not earned, would only be "to paint the lily, or gild refined geld." But without a pretence of that character, I am in duced to add the •expret , sion of my hope as a law student (with sundry misgivings, however, that my letter, like many others, will be consigned to the waste paper basket), that this incident will tend 9 act valorem, to rescue the legal profession from the very sweeping d enun ciations hurled against every branch and almost eve ry member of it in the present age of the cry for legal reform. I hope, Sir, It will assist likewise in retaining the high mark of honour and the strong love of justice of the English bar. Obvious and important as are the reforms needed in the law generally, t need never fear being in danger of languishing so long as the advocate and the j ud g e so pro-eminently distin guish themselves as honourable men. And the legal profession would be more in favour with the public could they have the satis f a ction of reflecting that al though they may not et the same period possess me than one Master of the Rolls, they mi g ht count, in point of honour and fair play, if not in point of talent, many am, Sir, your obedient servant, July 29, 1852. JUSTITIA. SUBTERRANEAN TELEGRAPH BETEEN NAPLES AND GAETA.—The Giornale di Roma of the 20th gives a long ac count of the construction of a subterranean electr ic tele g ra p h Which has just been opened between Naples and Gaeta. The 'wires are covered with gutta percha, and the writer says it is the longest line ever constructed on the same principle. THE DERBY ELECTION.—Mjur Beresford has certainly a very curious method of meeting the very specific charge made against the Honourable Gentleman. No doubt it is very common for men when charged with offences aglinst the law, and when they know that they are going to he committed for trial, to say that they will re s erve their de fence until that occasion arrives, well knowing that they May prematurely disclose some fact which would tell against themselves. The practice is not only common but allowable enough in all such cases. Still it seldom happens that these Very prudent persons succeed in convincing juries or the world that they are innocent men. The prosecutor may fail in Proving his case; but the wariness and caution of the " old hand" do not make a favourable impression upon the audi t°,rY• In like manner, we conceive , the reservation of Maj o r zeresford's defence until he meets the charge in the House of Commons, will not tend to strengthen the opinion of hi s I nnocence. His suggestion that perjured evidence might be got up against him it he were to make a premature dis closure, is simply a piece of gratuitous insolence. Th e question at issue is simply this—Did ho write theletter found on the person of the briber Morgan, or did be not? If he did write it, which be does not venture to deny, none but the clearest and most distinct proof on his part that the pur- Pose for which it w as written was lawful and innocent will satisfy the public, or, we should conceive, the House of Corn • Mont. As the cans now stands against him, the evidence is complete, and it is for him to make his detencc • not for others to give further te stu a u.my ‘,.;•ain t him; and he could just a s eas ily h ave explained at blittiut s ree as in the House of Commons if he had an y ter Guardian, Y " 41 explanation to give.—Nanches- , / ~~ 0 °'"` 011 ' to 61. e Jo, 000 0 35 00: 0 30 ° O O 2 6 ' ° r of th 1 ." 9 ..' s ''. 4 1 " I 5 5 S U N, LONDO at Treace:— " Eb eters of Treace—you, the honest electors—who have always upheld the independence of yoer town, as semble in a body tomorrow; go to those unfortunate wretches, end make them acquante with the conse quences of their guilt. For my pa i t, I' d ll confess to you what my feelings are with respect to those wretched and corrupt Catholics. Let me suppose one of those wretches prostrated by sickness. Suppose the hand of death heavy upon him, and that a messenger comes to me to attend him in his dying moments. It there were no other priest in the way I would be bound to go. I dare not refuse to attend him; but I confe calledou that would be sorry from my heart to be upon to at tend the deathbed of such a being.—(Great sensation.) I would go to attend such a m retch with a heavy heart, without much hope, because I would feel that I was going to administer sacraments to one whose conscience was so seared and whose heart was so rotten at the core that I could not have much expectation of effecting a conversion. Overpowered with the im pression that I was about to visit a perjured wretch, who for a miserable bribe had betrayed the dearest in terests of his country and his reli g ion, and borne down with the harrowing reflection that tod, in His just an ger, might leave such a wretch to die in his sins— (SenatioL)—l would fear that my mission would be fruitless—that I could have no hope of converting a heart so hardened, so lost to every sense of duty and religion, as to vote in support of those who would trample on the Lord of Hosts.—(Sensation.)" Such was the method employed by the reverend touter to canvass the borough of Trelee in favour of Mr. Maurice O'Connell. During the contest of which we have before spoken, in which Messrs. Hamilton and Taylor were concerned, the poorer voters were not only denotneed by the prik sts in the manner we have before stand, but, when it was feared that even this degree of intimidation might prove inefit ctual, bodies of men were dispatched through the country, who caught the voters and tied them down in carts, in which situation they were either brought to "reason" or kept out of the way. In l i Parsonstown the parish priest paraded the town at the heed of a mob, successfully carried on a razzia against the unfortunate voters of Messrs. Bland and O'Brien, and dragged them down to a building, in which they were locked up under the cus tody of a body of priests, who were also charged with the duty of bringing them to " reason!" All the efforts of the landlords, as we are informed by our correspon dent from the spot, to protect their tenantry were un availing. We cannot bring our cases to a conclusion without noticing once more that address of the Rev. Dr. O'Brien to the " Young Men's Society" at Limerick, which had so terrible an effect in inflaming the passions of the people, and bringing on the subsequent tragedies. Thu reverend orator took care to inform his audience that Nero, and Henry, and Elizabeth, and Anne, and the Georges, Russell, and Derby, were precisely the same, anti then went on to say— "ln many places Gcd's victory has keen secured, or at least His resources have been powerfully augmented; the shrieks of the defenceless and the blood of the mur dered here at home proclaim that the battle is at our doors.—(Sensation.) Heaven! this is in England, a civiliz d country, claiming the rule of a Catholic population and the allegiance n e Catholic hearts. (Cheers.) Up, brothers! (Here the whole meeting rose to their f eet, with deafe ning cheers.) What occurred in England yesterday may be attempted by other means in Dublin to-morrow. We must be pre pared.—(Continued cheering.) Let not this Stockport tragedy rest under the veil of English design and beastly misrepresentation. Our kindred have been slaughtered in this shamble of English butchery, and law and justice have slept while the dark enmities of bigot bate have dealt out ruin. —(Cries of Hear,' and sensation.) In a place not much larger than Limerick scores of houses have been sacked—churches pillaged end live s l os t ; while special and ordinary constsbles, to the sad sorrow of weakness, could never overtake the perpetrators, or stay cue uplifted hand.—( , Oh, oh !') They came to one locality—havoc had made its dwelling upon ruins—but the fiends had fled. They ran to another, and they wer e just in time to be too Late.—( Oh, oh!) They flew, with singular alertness and intrepidity, to a third; deso lation bent forth cries of agony, but the wreckers nowhere appeared.—(t Shame!') In fact, the officers of justice were everywhere but where they were wanted, and the blood of the Irishmen paid the forfeit of their delay." The instances we have given may suffice. The out rages at Cork and Limerick, and the more recent tragedy at Sixmiledwidge, are the best comment upon the success of the orators, and the best evidence of their talents as electioneering agents. Now, is this system of intimidation and violence to be tolerated either now or for the future? All the unfairi n t efforts e ti o n i n ' figu P lei a sn r hc l Parliament anunendnt counties os a r r r e u p dp u t i t forth to o seta unhappily obtaint o the the evil, and we do our and boroughs.

In a case of this kind we for get all distinctions of Constrvative or Liberal,Derbyite or Russellite, (,r any other ` 5 its; , we see nothing but a flagrant violation of the British Constitution, and its probable effects upon the deliberationti of Parliament and the general temper of the nation. As usual with our Celtic friends, they are singularly blind to conse quences. They do not see that th e blood which has been so fr ee ly shed and the intimidation which has been so unsparingly used may produce something like a re action on this side of the Channel. if fanaticism is to be hcunded on against fanaticism, God knows we have fanatics enough in Great Britain, and more of them than the m os t t emperate men can we ll keep in bounds, even irizh in R eoirgdninoafry Terrortime i s res ß h u b t what can the fri en d s of efworiethththeePceroateees3t u o n n t t a r o o f t ll t o e , a limit to the several peace s ay indignation?

We have had a Bill for the prevention of bribery and corruption in England —we must have another for the ow H prevention of intimida tion and violence in Ireland. many of the Roman Catholic returns would endure the test of a St. Alban's Ccmmission?— Times.

Cavendish, died on Satur dayTime&4oL4blirgh, after an illness of only four days.— THOMAS ROOD. OUR FAMILY." (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) " Poor Hood!" Thus does everyone speak of the lameated Thnaa3 Hood, who died just as the world was beginning to appreciate the true genius of the man, but before he could roan any of its substantial rewards. Hood's reputation through life 'e as that of a humourist, for he wrote for bread, and as the public would not have Hood's deeper thoughts, he gave them his lighter one;; he spun thorn " comic annuals," nod " l a u g hter from yeer to yeer;" and thus he man aged to live on from day to day. But just before he passed away , there rung through our island these thrilling stanzas, appealing to the profoundest sympathies of the human heart, " The Song of the Shirt," " The Ley of the Labourer," Ka " The Bridge of Sighs;" and then it was the public de creed that Hood Fila , 3 something more than a humourist; thee he was, in fact, a great tragic poet. Thomas Heed was of Scotch parentage, though born in London, where his father we a partner in the boa k • st Lim firm of Vernon and Hood, Poultry. Ile eras first epprenticed as a merchant's clerk, but his health beirg delicate, it was found necessary to take h im away from his desk, and be was sent to his father's relatives, in Dundee, where he remained some time, and medo his succestfal debut, as a writer, in the pages of the local I:39goZ;lleti and journals. Here, doubtless, ho acquirtied ed his knowledge of the b road Scotch dialect, whichim h we re-prodneing in the old Scotch housekeeper in " Tylney Hall," a novel, though not much known, of the most powerful character, full of highly wrought incident, and situations of the most tragic kind. With his health somewhat restored, be returned to London, and ants apprenticed to his uncle, Robert Sands, the engraver, end was afterwards transferred to cue of the Le Keux. Ho wee a good draughtsman, end might have attained distinction in his profession, but thus he was soon attracted from it by the more agreeable pur suit of literature. Yet, we often afterwards find him at work with the pencil and graver, in furnishing the quaint and comical designs of his own works, his " Bonnie Annuals," "Up the Rhine," " Magazine," &e. We believe his first published book of poems was his "Plea of the Mid rummer Fairies," a little work full of poetic) beauty; tender, graceful, and exquisite. But the book was not popular; indeed, it is not so yet. So, as the public would not take his poetry, he met them on their own ground, and gave them jokes and facctim, which they would read. Laughter, however, was not Hood's only object in writing, He• amused the multi tude to attract their attention; end ho used his wit and humour as the vehicles wherewith to convey his whole- SOP2e and lasting lessons of morality. Though, as a writer, who lived by hie writings, ho had to write that which the public would buy, aud thus suited his pro ductions to the general teste,he never wrote down to the lowest taste. His wit was never sullied rofane. by impurity nor coarseness; never indelicate no r p Nay, his delicacy was extreme; he was as sensitive as a =moss leaf; and a sort of melauCholy often dashed his merriest writings, which made his jests to " scald like tears." Many f his quaint and laughter-exciting conceits were steeped in human feeling and passion. As ho himself has so touchingly said— " All things are touch'd with melancholy, Born of the secret soul's mistrust, To feel her fair ethereal wings Weigh'd down with vile degraded dust; Even the bright extremes of joy Bring on conclusions of disgust, Like the sweet blossom of the May, Whole fragrance ends in must. Oh, give her, then, her tribute just, Her sighs and tears, and musings holy! There is no music in the life That, sounds with idiot laughter solely; There's not a string attuned to mirth, Bat has its chord in melancholy." Towards the close of Hood's life, while ha was still popularly known as a humourist, there appeared in the colunas of Punch that wonderful poem which instantly thrilled through the hearts of thousands, and produced an effect such as, we believe, no pi ece of writing within the same small compass had ever before done—his agonizing " Song of the Shirt. Parliamentary reports had exposed, in long detail, the hardships inflicted on a large portion of the industrious community ; volumes had been written abou t them, eloquent speeches de livered on the subject, the miseries of onr female artisans —dressmakers and shirtmakers—had been deplored in all forms, but Hood's little poem effected more than them ail. It went straight to its mark it thrilled the common heart. He hit the nail on the head, and sent it home at a blow. Not less touching, not less full of penetrating truth, was his " Bridge of Sighs," one of the mos t powerful expositions of a g reat social evil, a can cerous sore eating away the hearts of multitudes of human beings , w h ich has ever been penned. These l L p i ece s, short though the y were, revealed the almost last Sha thu kspoeri:hts o ngenf his iusof gr T ea h t aromhaeslic over They were the longing for the emaecipatiou and happiness of the downtrodden and suffering many. And thus boating away towards the deep waters of eternity, did he in these piteous appeals to human sympathy pour out his soul in song, Notwithetandieg the great genius of Hood, and th e large amount of literary labour of various kinds which he performed, h e died ver y poor; for the literary man has no position in E n g land ; he may be a great genius, but if his books do no t sell ver y largely, and he cannot com mand high prices f or his co py ri g hts, he may soon starve. The literary labours of twenty years enabled Hood to do no more than subsist, and the only legacy he left to his family was his fame. We cannot but lenient, that the close.of tho poet's career, hopeful and clear though it vets as regarded the beyond of this life, was clouded by this reflection, though the generous letter of Sir Robert Peel, communicating the intelligence, that a pension of 100/. a y ear had been granted to his wife, did much to alleviate the pressure of this anxiety. The life of the mere literary man is one of great labour and of small gains; it is precarious; and his genius, or literary stock in trade, cannot be bequeathed, like a bookbelling or banking business, to his offspring. The literary labourer must always be at the mill-wheel, grinding, whether well or ill; and it is the nature of literary labour to wear into the health, and to stimulate into unhealthy activity the nervous system at the expense of the physical powers. Hood was a victim to the " literary ailment." For many years, towards the close of his life, ho was labouring under disease —habitually ill—dying slowly; and yet be wrote on. In one of the last publications to w elch he gave his name as editor, " Hood's Magazine, ho thus humorously pointed out the pains of the literary life, in an imaginary letter from " A Subscriber:"— " Sir, —By your not coming out on the Furst, I con clude you are lade up, being notorus for eejoyin bad heltb. Pullmery, of course, like my poor Robert, for I've had a literary branch in my own fammily, a peri odical one like yourself, only every Sunday, heated of M your cul once a munth; and as such, well knew what it was to ix wr i te long-winded articles with Weekly lungs, Poor f e llow ! as often said, so much bead work, and n ot hi n b u t head work , will make a cherubbim of you; and so it did.

Mock 'turkey hoop and strong slops, and wormy jelly, and island moss; but he Couldn't vocation. PoOr boy ! eat. And no wonder; for mental labour, as the Doctor said, wares out the stummack as well as the braises; an d so he'd been spinning out his inside, like a spider. And a spider he did look at last, sure enuff; one of that sort with long spindle legs, and only a dot of a body in the middle. " Another bad thing is si ttin up all nite, as gay sun did, but it's all agin natur. Not but what sum must, and partickly the writers of politicks for the Papers; but they ruin the constitushun. And, besides, even poetry is apt to get prosy, after twelve or one; and Some late authors read very sleepy. But, as poor Robert said, what is one to do, when no day is long enuff for o ne ' s work, nor no munth either. And , to be sure, A gri , June, and September, aro all short munthe, but Febb er " yo u can, ! However, one grate thing is, relaxing , if can, as the Doctor used to say,what made Jackdull boy? why, being always in the w orkhouse, and nev er rat the playhouse. So, get out of your gownd and e u pers, says he, and put on your best things, and unbend yourself, like a beau. If you've been at your flights, go and look at the Tems tunnel; and i Poe f ticle tired of being witty, go and spend a hour with theYeu'r° wurk. The mind r e q uires a chan g e, as well wax as the merc hants. "So take my advice, Sir—a mother's e.dvice--g„d re lax a little. You want brassin g , a change of h air, - and mo re stutninuck.

It was cut abort by the death of its author; but it is full of humour, and is most interesting, ac) far as it goes. There is some admirable portraiture o f character in the tale. Uncle Puumbold is a thorough original; but we caa only give here a specimen of Cate chism Jack, being his introduction as apprentice to the village doctor:— "My father was the pariah doctor, and when h o en tered the surgery Mr. Postle was making up a Pretierip. ti". A poor, shabbily-dressed woman was waiting for the medicine, and a tall, foolish -looking lad was waiting for the poor woman. She was a widow, as it is ca ll ed, without an encumbrance, and had a cottage and some small means of h er o wn, which she eked out with the stipend allowed to her by the overseers, for taking charge of some infirm cr imbecile pauper. The haat witted boy was her present ward. " It's for Jacobs," said the woman, as nay father glanced over the shoulder of his a ssistant at the pre scription. "He ge t s wus and wue. " "Of courts be doss," said my father, " and will whilst he takes those opiuna " So I tell him," said the woman; " with his ague, and in a flat marshy country like this, with water enoug h about to give Any ono the hydraulico." " No such thing, Sir," said the woman; "it wa 3 t he ho can idle boys of the village, b ecause he was a l wa y s repeat ing ou it! and, indeed, p oor fellow thing else." , p " Then how did be ge t t h at? " " Why, you see, bir, ' said the woman, "between our selves it was all along of hi s godmother. " " Ah, indeed!" exclai me d my father. " Hi s god mother, eh?" «," Yes; Mrs. Foyer, as W 2S. f or she's d ea d now, as wc ll reeat no es his own mother; and' that's how he came into my care. His mother went first; while he was in petticoats, and so'Mrs. Foyer took • eharge of him, and sent him to the infent day school. She was a very strict woman in principles, and so- was t h e sc h oo lmistress; a nd both made it a great p o i nt for the children t o be her religious taught accordingly, which they was. Well, one day there they were all, in the schoolroom, up one pair, and little Jack amongst the rest, the last of the row, a-set ting on the very end of a long form, close to the open door. Well, by-and-bye the children were all called up to say catechism; 50 up .they. all got at once, except Jack, playing instead of getting his task byrO who te,wh h ic a n d ben made him baekwarder to rise than the rest; when, 10, and behold! up tilts the form, like a rearing horse, and pitches Jack, heels over head, through the door, and down the whole atone flight, where he was picked. up at the bottom,. quite .a l sen e iet a a , " Ah! with a concussion of the brain," said my father. " A contusion of the occiput," added Mr. Pestle; " the spinal vertebrae excoriated of course, and bruises on both pate Lee." 6' don't know about that," said the woman; but he had a lump on the back of his head as big as an egg, the two hubbies of his back were rubbed quite raw, and his two kneepans were as black as a coal. It was thought, too, that his inteilex was shook up in a muddle." " No doubt of it," said my father. " Well, to go on with Jack. At long and at last ho came to, sore enouLla and emerting, as you may suppose, for he had been carried home to his godmother, and she had rubbed his wounds with spirits of salts, which had got into the cuts. And now Jack, says she, mark my words ; and let them he a warning. It's a judgment of God upon you, says she; for not knowing your cate chism; for if so be you had got it by heart, you would have ris with the rest, and thist would never have hap pened. But its a judgment upon you, said she, and the schoolmistress says it's the same thing; till between both the poor thing was so scared, he set to work, he did, at his chatechism, and never rested day or night till he Yes, drawers. verily, and bygot it by heart, as ho has now, so thoroughly, you may dodge him any how, backward and forward, and he wont miss a syllable. And that's how he came by it, sir, as well as by his nickname; for except catechism, which his head is too full of, I suppose, to hold anything else, he dent know a thing else in the world." " Poor yellow," said my father, opening one of the surgery " Here Jack, will you have a lozenge?" God's help, so I will. And I heartily thank ." " There, there,. hush! go along with you," said the woman, giving her protégé a push towards the outer - door, end then taking up the. medicine, with a nod of acknowledgment to Mr. Pestle, and a curtsey to my father, she departed, her forlorn charge clinging to her garments, and muttering scraps of that formula which had procured for him the sobriquet of Catechism Jack. • • It was Cathechism Jack—who, after a preliminary peep or two from behind the door post, at List crept with a sidling gait and a sheepish air, into the surgery, where by eccentric approachce, like those of a sly bird, he gradually placed himself at the counter. " Well, Jack, raid my father, " what do you want?" Jack made no rep!y, bat dropping his head on his right shoulder, with a look askance at my father, plucked his sodden finger out of his mouth, and pointed with it to 000 of the drawers. " You see," said my father, in an aside to Postle, " the fellow is not quite a fool. Ho remembers where the lozenge came from." " Mere animal instinct," answered Pestle, in the same under tone, " a monkey would do as much, and remem ber the caucister where he got a lump of sugar." " I will try him further," said my father, putting his hand in the drawer for a lozenge, which he held out be tween his finger and thumb. " Well, Jack, what will you do if I give you this?" Jack eyed the lozenge, grinned, looked •at my father, and drawled out his answer. "I'll say my catechism." " No, no, Jack !" cried my father, " we don't want that. But will you be a good. boy ?" " Yes," said Jack, his head suddenly drooping down again, while a cloud passed over his face. Yes, I will, and not tumble down stairs."

The most painful feature connected with the recent elections is the aspect. that Ireland has preseuted throughout the whole contest. Whenever great masses of people are cellected togrther, we are or course pre pared for a certain amount of riotous conduct and dis turbance. This is the penalty we must pay for a free expression of the popular wild. Fur the sake of the advantage we accept the drawback. But ordinary tur bulence is one thing; it is quite another matter when we find a country given up to systematic intimidation and nocturnal brigandage, when peaceful ciCz.oos are corn plied to barricade their dwellings in broad daylight, an ared to fire in self - defence upon a mot) of ruffians who thirsting for their blood. It is not a legitimate crosrcise of constitutional freedom that the inhabitants of three provinces should he entangled in the meshes of a wide• spread conspiracy which threatens destruction of pro perty and lifo to all who dare to disobey its behests. Nor does the seve of the iutimidation even stop on this side the grave. The superstitious and ignorant men who have been celled upon to exercise the electoral franchise are onfortuLately persuaded that the power of the lea:ling election agents extends over their souls as well as their bodies. Li many ceses they believe this to be so; in others they dare not evince the slightest symptom of disbelief, lest they should be doomed to instant and terrible destruction. The Irish Roman Catholic priests, we grieve to say it, have not hesitated before any abuse of the power with which the superstition of their votaries has invested them. It was but the other day iu our Irish intelligence we had to re cord, that in the middle of the nineteenth century a Ro man Catholic priest declared to an open - air m eetin g that he would never marry a man who voted for Hamilton or Taylor—that ho would never administer the rites of bap tism to his child, or impart to him the last consolation of the Church upon his deathbed. Another, at the conclusion of service, called cut aloud from the altar the names of as many of his congregation as had votes, and compelled them to walk up in the face of the congregation to that sacred spot, and receive from his hand the voting tickets on which were inscribed the names of the candi dates in whose favour they must register their votes. " Who would vote for Jocelyn Otway ?"—writes the author of n Tipperary election manifesto to which we have already had ocearion to advert. " The traitor who will do so, never let him enter a chapel door. Let his memory be to you like the memory of Judas. Keep from him, for the devils of hell are his companions, and no saint in heaven will pray for him in his dying hour." Such was the nature of the electoral impulses brought to bfar in favour of Messrs. Scully and Sadleir in the inty of Tipperary. It is only by enumerating instances that we can hope give even a faint idea of the R:ign of Terror under which the Roman Catholic peasantry have been held by their priests during the ,recent election. The subject is one fraught with too much peril to the stability of our representative institutions, or we should shrink from the task of drawing into a feces the various blasphemies of the Irish priests to their deluded flocks.

Such en alliance would seem, therefore, to be both politic and su itable to the present position and the future views of the Prince President, and we understand that the inter view which recently took place at Baden between the high contracting parties wes so encouraging that the Princess immediately applied herself to master the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith, having hitherto professed the Lutheran creed, in . order that she may be received into the bosom of that.church of which Louis Napoleon is so exemplary a member. It is, therefore, not im probable that among the ceremonies which will contri bute during this present eumtner to the diversion of the French people, a. wedding will take place; and the world may speculate on the effect of such a marriage upon the proclamation of the Empire, and the revival of all the pretensions of, the Bonapartist dynasty. Certain it is that no internal obstacle or impediment will interfere with the assumption of any title or rank Louis Napolecn may think fit to adopt, and, as to his power, that is already entire and absolute. For ourselves, speaking with a view to the general interests of this countr y and of Europe, such a change would appear to be a matter of indifference; for what signifies a new fashion in the trappings of a Court after the dismal change from free dom to servitude has been accomplished and endured by the nation? Neither is it material whether the mare riege precedes the Empire ' or the Empire the marriage , or by what road Louis Napoleon and his adherents attain the transcendent honours of a Papal coronatioto But it is by no means, equally clear that this series of events will be looked upou with indifference by the con tinental Powers.. Thp, marriage of Louis Napoleon would obviously be the most important nt e p to the esta blishment of an hereditary Power in France, and such a Power would ere long, and perhaps immediately, place itself on an Imperial throne. To recognise such a Power, with all its hereditary claims, is to sur render the princiolee of legitimate monarchy still professed by tho northern Courts of Europe; to re fuse to recognise it is at once to afford to that Power a pretext for. any . undertaking it may meditate against the security of the continent. We place but little reliance upon a document published by one of our contemperaries, and purporting to be an abstract cf a treaty, concluded on the 20th of May last, between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the purpose of deter mining the line of conduct they are resolved to pursue in presence of these doubtful and delicate contingencies. Until the existence of such a treaty, in the terms here employed, be more positively coufirmed, we must enter tain strong doubts of the existence of such a compact; for it would be an act of rashness and extravagant impolicy inconsistent with the course heretofore pursued by Eu rope towards Louis Napoleon. We know of no suffi cient grounds for the premature and exclusive recogni tion of the rights of the Count de Chambord to the Crown of France, by. foreign Powers, before a single effort has been made by any party among the French themselves to recal him. We can conceive nothing so likely to accelerate the assumption of absolute and hereditary Imperial power by the heir of Bonaparte as the attempt of foreign States to define and limit rights which he affects to hold by the will of the people. And lastly, if the Empire bo proclaimed, as it probably will be, this officious stroke of policy would at once serve as a pretence for the interruption of the pa cific relations of Europe, and might land to the most serious consequences... On .these grounds we aro led to distrust the accuracy of our Contemporary's in formation; for although the correspondence be tween Russia and Austria which we ourselves published in. the spring undoubtedly led to the same conclusion, and might produce the same effects, yet we can hardly imagine that the Sovereigns and, statesmen of the Northern Courts aro deliberately pre pared to renew by a solemn treaty not only the terms of the Holy Alliance but the coalition of Pillnitz. We do not doubt that .explanations have been exchanged be tween the three Northc ra Courts on the subject of the fu ture policy of France, and that they are perfectly united and agreed upon the course to be adopted by them in the event of any aggressive movement on the part of Louis Napoleon; but we have strong reason to doubt that any positive terms have been adopted beforehand to regulate and confine their future conduct, and still more do we question the ' existence of a convention which might provoke the very dangers it is designed to i I obviate. 1, • FESTIVAL OF THE THREE CHOIRS OF WORCESTER, MittEFORD, AND GLOUCESTER.—HEREFORD, TUESDAY.— It has been fixed to hold the next festival of the three choirs at Hereford, in the week commencing Monday, September 13, and the arrangements are now in a forward state, under the able management of the conductor, Mr. Townsend Smith.

He (Mr. Streeten) them an opportunity to .be beard; and be added that, though he considered him naotaliY ready to go into the question felt certain that the Right Han. Gentleman wished the question to be re-opened. , • Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mr. Streeten whether, to spooking of compensation before the Home Secretary, he referred to the case of lands, of houses, or of shops. Mr. Streeten said he- pointed out that a portion of the property in the neighbourhood of the intended market was let upon long leases, and he observed that that case was altogether one of great hardship; especi ally as the buildings could only be occupied as residences. Mr. BENNOCIL asked whether, before the decision of the Secretary of State was given, the petitioners had any opportunity of learning that the market was likely to come into their neighbourhood. Mr. Streeten replied that they had no means of knowing; the Act of Parliament did not provide for any notice. It was true that they saw in the nown.pera a rumour 'on the suatect, but they did not know whether or not there was any truth in it. The Home Secretary said he considered himself morally bound—the Right Bon. Gentleman used the word " morally" emphatically --to approve the site which had been selected if he should be called upon to do an: that was all he said o u the subject. Mr. C.

Now, Low etood this ques tion? The petitioners, who were most respecteble indivi duals, would be cruelly damnified by the confirmation of the selection of Copenhagen-fields as the site of the new when the late Government retired from office; and the pre sentthat negotiations were going forward Government.having acceded to office, Mr. Walpole, never having been in his life in Copenhagen-fields, and scarcely knowing where they wore—(A voice—" That is a very strong assettion")—gave his assent to the site se lected by the corporation. Mr. Walpole said he had already given his consent, in emsequence of the repre sentations made to him by the coraoration, and in the belief that nothing more than his nominal consent was required. Was it not fearful to think that a mere no minal consent should have the effect of ruining num bers of individuate? A 'great deal was said about the difficulty of obtaining sites.
