The nett painful feature connected with the recent electiens is the aspect that Ireland has presented throughout the whole content. Whenever great masses of people are collected together, we are o course pre paled. for a certain amount of riotous conduct and dis -1 turbanco. This is the penalty we must pay for a free esnression of the popular will. For the sake of the edvantege 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 citizens are Corn.. polled to barricade their dwellings in broad daylight, and to fire in self-defence ::pen a mob of ruffians who are thirsting for their blood. , It is not a legitimate exercise of constitutional freedom that the inhabitants of three provinces should be entangled*: the meshes of a wide• spread conspiracy which threatens detoruction of pro perty and life to all who dare to disobey its behests. Nor does the scepo of the iutimitlation even stop on this side the grave. The euporatitious and ignorant men who have been called upon to exercise the electoral franchise are unfortunately persuaded that the power of the leading election agents extends over their souls as well as their bodies. In many cases 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 in 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 meeting that he would never marry a man who voted for Hamilton or Taylor—that he 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 out 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 a Tipperary election manifesto to which we have already had occasion 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 bear in favour of Messrs. Scully and Sadleir in the county of Tipperary. It is only by enumerating instances that we can hope to give even a faint idea of the Reign 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 focus the various blasphemies of the Irish priests to their deluded flocks. The following extract is from a speech delivered by the Rev. Mr. Maw, at Tralee:— " El, eters of Tralee—vou, the honest electors—who have always upheld the independence of year town, as semble in a body tomorrow; go to those unfortunate wretches, and make them acquainted with the conse quences of their guilt. For my part, I'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 hanfl of death heavy upon him, sod that a messenger comes to me to attend him in his dying moments. If there were no other priest in the way I would be bound to go. I dere not refuse to attend him; but I confess to yeti that I would be sorry from my heart to be called upon to at tend the deathbed of such a being.—(Great sensation.) I would go to attend such a wretch 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 religion, and borne down with the harrowing reflection that God, in His just an ger, might leave such a wretch to die in his sins— (Sensation) —I would fear that my mission would be fruitless—that I could have no hope of con vert i ng a heart so hardened, so lost to every acute 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 Tralee in f avour o f M r . Maurice O'Connell. During the contest of which wo have before spoken, in which Messrs. Hamilton and Taylor were concerned, the poorer voters were not only denounced by the priests in the manner we have before stated, but, when it was feared that even this degree of intimidation might prove ineffectual, ho bodies caught of men the vo w t e e r r e s dispatched through the country, w paradedout o f the th e wad to . n n at and tied them down in carts, in which situation they were either brought to " reason" or kept o r r e Parsonntown the parish priest the head 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 nn'ieino• 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 sub Sequent tragedies. The 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, and then went on to say— In many places God's 'victory has been 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 at th th is e battleisin England, is at our doors.—(Sensation;) Heaven! a civiliz d country, claiming the rule of a Catholic population and the a ll eg i an ce of Catholic hearts. (Cheers.) Up, brothers! (Here the whole meeting rose to their feet, with deafening 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 hate 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 and lives lost ; while special and ordinary constables, to the sad sorrow of weakness, could never overtake the perpetrators, or stay one uplifted band.—(s 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 were just in time to be too late.—(' Oh, oh!') They flew, with singular alertness and intrepidity, to a third; deso lation sent forth cries of agony, but the wreckers nowhere appeared.--(' 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 Si xm il e -b r id ge, are t h e b est commen t u p on the N talents ' o n w e :s e t s a s electioneeringthis o r t s a, , and the best evidence of their ebffeorttosleorvatFadarleiaitmheernt g in en ti t m s. idation and violence to put tro forthfor h o h e setafu tu r h e o ? n n d A t l o l the t,he n ar n e w la tch unhappily obtain unfair influence and corruption e acknowledge in the English counties and boroughs. t t e he remedf. the evil, and we do cur beat to seek g a s it act In the present temper of the Parliament = we feel very confident that if the plague of briber and corruption be not stayed on this side of St. George's Channel a very wholesale disfranchisement, if not a total remodelling of our electoral system, will be the result.

Richard Watson, th e lately elected M.P. for Peter borough, in the room o f Mr. W. Cavendish, died on Satur day last at Jlovaburgb, alt er an • Illness of only four days..- . Times, LONDON, TLIOMAS ROOD.—"OUR FAMILY." (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) " Pow Hoo' - IV Teets does ever ) oue speak of the lamented Thomas Hood, who died just as the world was begin:deg to appreciate the true genius of the man, but before he could reap any of . its substantial rewards. Hood's remitation through life was that of a humonrist, for he wrote for breed, and as the public would not have Hood's deeper thoughts, he gave them his lighter ones; ho spun :hem "comic annuals," and "laughter from year to year ;" and thus he managed ,to iive on from day to day. But just before he passed away, there rung through our island those thrilling stanzal, appealing to the profoundest sympathies of the human heart, "The Sang,e Bridge of Sighs;" of the Shirt," "The Ley of the Labourer," and " Th and then it was the public de creed that Heed was something more than a humourist; that he was, in fact, a great tragic poet. Thomas Hood was of Scotch parentage, though born in London, where his father was a partner in the book. selling firm of Vernon and Hood, Poultry. He was first apprenticed as a merchant's clerk, but his health being delicate, it was found necessary to take him away from his desk, and he was sent to his father's relatives, in Dundee. where he remained some time, and made his successful debut, as a writer, in the.pages of the local magazines and journals. Here, doubtless, be acquired his knowledge of the broad Scotch dialect, which we find him re-producing in the old Scotch housekeeper in " Tylney Hall," a novel, though not much known, of the most powerful character, full of highly.wrcught incident, and situations of the most tragic kind. With his health somewhat. restored, he returned to London, and was apprenticed to his uncle, Robert Sands, the engraver, and was afterwards transferred to one of the Le Keux. Ho was a good draughtsman, and might have attained distinction in his profession, but that 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 end comical designs of his own works, his " Bonnie Annuals," "Up the Rhine," "Magazine," &c. We believe his first published book •of poems was his "Plea of the Midsummer 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 facetice, which . they would read. Laughter, ho wever , was no t How's only object in writing. He amused the multi tude to attract their attention; and he used his wit and humour as the vehicles wherewith to convey his whole some and lasting lessons of morality: Thoagh, as a writer, who lived by his writings, he bad to write that which the public would buy, and thus suited his pro ductions to the general taste, he never *rote down to the lowest taste. His wit was never sullied by impurity nor coarseness; never indelicate - nor profane. Nay, his delicacy was extreme; he was as sensitive as a mimosa leaf; and a sort of melancholy 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 he himself rn of t w h has so touchingly said— " All things are tou c h'd w ith me l anc h oly, Bo dust; t' To feel her fair ethereal wings Weigh'd down w secret with vile soul's degradedrnistrus Even the bright extremes of joy Bring on conclusions of disgust, Like the sweet blossom of the May, Whose fragrance ends in must. Oh, give hr, then, her tribute jest, 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 he was still popularly known as a humouriet, there cppeared in the colums of Punch that wonderful poem which instantly thrilled through the hearts of thousands, and produced an effect such as, we believe, no piece of writing within the same small compass had ever hefote 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 about them, eloquent speeches de livered on the subject, the . miseries of our female artisans —dressmakers and shirtmakers—had been deplored in t all forms, but Hood's little poem effected more than them all. It went straight to its mark; it thrilled th e common heart. He hit the nail on the head, an d seat it home at a blow. Not less touching, not less f u ll of penetrating truth, was his " B ri d g e of Sighs," out , of the down-trodden for the en and d most powerful expositions of a g r eat s ocia l evil, a cane cerous sore eating away t he hearts . of mu ltitudes of human heingi, which ha s ever been penned. Th ese pieces, short though they were, revealed the almost Shaksperian genius of Tho mas Hood. The y were the elamstantchioruagtihotns andO fhi b s a g p r p e in e e t cs he o ar t , h e e ve d r o l w o n n suffering many. And thus floating away towards the deep waters ot eternity, did he in, these piteous appeals to human sympathy pour out his soul in song. Notwithstanding the gr e at genius of Hood, and the large amount of literary labour of various kinds which ho performed, he died very poor; for the literary man has no position in England; he may be a great genius, but if his books do not sell very largely, and he cannot com mand high prices for his copyrights, he may soon starve. The literary labours of twcoty years entitled Hood to do no more than subsist, and the only legacy he left to his family was his fame., We cannot but .lament, that the close of the poet's career, hopeful and clear though it was 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 1001. 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 end of small gains; it is precarious; and his genius, or literary stock in .trade, cannot be bequeathed, like a bookselling 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, he was labouring under disease—habitually ill—dying slowly; and yet be wrote on. In one of the last publications to w hi c h he gave his name as editor, " Hood's Magazine, he 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 evjoyin bad helth. p a ii nte ey, of course, like my poor Robert, for I've had a literary branch iu my own fammily, a peri odical one like yourself, only every Sunday, tasted of once a muntb ; and as such, well knew what it was t o write long-wirided articles - with Weekly lungs.

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 " Aeuther bad thing is sittin up all nice, as my sun did, but it's all agin natur.

If you've beep at your poeticle flights, go and look at the Tems tunnel; . and if you're tired ot being witty, go and spend a hour with the wax . wurk.

Thus could Hood play with a subject full of painful import, and inculcate severe trut hs in quaint and hu morous guise. He made the eye dance with laughter, at the same time that ho touched the heart to its depths. It was Comus teaching sympathy and human kindness. The laugh passed away, but the stern truth remained. While quoting from flood's Magazine, we may shortly refer to a tale, commenced by him in tout periodical, en titled " Our Family," which seems to be well worthy o f a reprint. It was cut short by the death, of its author; but it is full of humeur, and is aloes interesting, so far as it goes. There is some ndmiraale p atraiture ot character in the tale.

I 4 was Cathechism Jack—who, after a preliminary peep or two from behind the door post, at last crept with a sidling gait and a sheepish air, into the surgery, where by eccentric approaches, like those of a sly bird he gradually placed himself a t t h e counter. , " Well, Jack, said my father, " what do you want?" Jack Made no. reply, but dropping • his head on his right shoulder, with a look askance at my father. pl uc k e d his sodden finger out of his mouth, and pointed with it to one of the drawers. c.

Jack eyed the losenge, 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 pass e dover his fa ce. " Y es, will, and not tumble down stairs." "Poor fellow!" saicrray father;" they make a fault of his misfortune. I have a great mind to take him. Should you like, Jack, to get 'your own living?"

The Prince of Wean, de throned, royal family of ' Sweden , t. in the Austrian ser her father ; commands a regiment its i intermarriages vice; but the family is connected by with several of the reigning. housea of Europe. Such an alliance would seem, therefore, to be both politic and suitable to the . present position and the future views of the Prince President, and we understand thet the inter view which recently took .place at Baden between the high contracting parties was so encouraging that the Princess immediately applied herself to master the tenets of thn 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 itt, therefore, not im probable that among the ceremonies which will contri bute during this present summer 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 w ith the assumption of any. title oarankLonis Napoleen ma y think fit to adopt, and, as to his power, that is already entire and absolute. For ourselves, speaking witha view to the general interests of this country and a t Europe, such a change would appear to be a matter o f intliffereinec; . for what signifiee a new fashion in the trappings of a Court after the dismal change from free dom to servitude has been accomplished anci•endured by t h e nation? Neither is it material whether the mar riage precddes the Empire, or the Empire the marriage, or le y what road Louis Napoleon and his adherents atta in the transcendent honours of. a Papal coronation. H at it is by no means equally clear that this series of events will be looked Upon with indifference by the con tinental Powers. The marriage of Louie Napoleon would obviously be the most important step to the esta blishment Of anhereditary .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 i ts h ere di tary claims, rs to sur render the principles of legitimate monarchy still pr ofessed by the 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 bat little reliance upon a document published by one of our ean temperaries,•and purporting to 'be an abstract of 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 i n presence' of these doubtful -and delicate contingencies. Until the existence of such a treaty, in the terms here employed, be more positively confirmed, • we must enter tain Strong doubts of the existence of such a compact; for i t would bp an act of rashness and extravagant impolicy i e oortsistent with•the course . heretofore pursued by Eu rope,towards Letris 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 'ranee, by foreign' Powers, before a single effort has been made by any party among' the French themselves; to reCal himo We can conceive nothing so likely to accelerate the assumption of absolute . and hereditary, Imperial power by the heir of Bonaparte es the attempt of ' foreign States •to define and limit r ights which he' effects to hold by the will of the people. And lastly, if the Empire be 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 are led to distrust the accuracy of •our Contemporary's in formation; for although the correspondence be tween Massie and Austria which we ourselves published in the spring undoubtedly led to the same conclusion, and might produco the some effects, yet we cart hardly imagine that 'the Sovereigns and statesmen of the Northern Courts are deliberately pre pared to ropew by a solemn treaty not enlythe terms of the Holy Alliance but the coalition of Pilloitz. We do not doubt that explanations have beeu exchanged be tween the three Northern 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 peSitive' 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 obviate. - • - CHOIRS or.

Mr. ANDERTON presented a memorial on the mode of electing Sheriffs, from Mr. Hartley, who was elected in June, 1851, to the office. • The joint petition of Lir. Grissell and Mr. Moore, who were nominated by the Lcrd Mayer last June, as parties to be publicly put in nomination to the Livery for the office of, sheriff' and who paid tke fine of 4001. each, inflicted .in consequence of their. refusal to serve, was also reed. It stated the inconvenience to which they would have bLen subjected if they.had served, and that feeling that the fine was unreasonable, arbitrary, and excessive, they prayed that the same might be repaid to them. Mr. HENRY BLAKE rose, to move that it be referred to the Freedom Committee to icquire into the duties, expenses,.. and, emoluments of the office, a sheriff, and to consider the expediency of preparing a Bill to amend the Act of Common. Council of April, 17.0, touching the said office, by reducing the fin es i mpose d b y suc h Act from the several, sums of 4904 end 60. Q,. 100/.; and further, to consider the expedien c y of..pro v idi ng a f u nd for maintaining the dignity of the office; and to report forthwith to the Court. Mr. BENsfoat seconded the motion. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR could not fora moment think of taxing his eaow. citizens. to defray tile expenses of the sheriff, and he accordingly moved the exclusion of the part of Mr. Blake's motion which he considered to be calculated, to have that effect. Mr. Deputy LOTT advocated the original, motion. After considerable discussion, in which several other members joined, the. propOsition for inquiry, with the omission of the words signifying the plan for relieving the sheriffs from the expenees attending the office, was agreed tobby a large majority. Mr. Hartley's petition was then ordered to lie on the table. . .

Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mi. Streeten, t; 17 .. whom the de putation was headed, whether he w as prepared to porE out any better site than Copenhagen-fields? Mr. Streeten. said that, when. before. the Home Se.: cretary, he had mentioned Bow-common. Another member of the deputation said Wanstead-flat s had also been suggested. . . - • - • . Mr. DE JERSEY wished to know whether in their in terview with the. House Secretary.the &putation mid . anything on the.subject of comperatatiers? • Mr. Streeten replied that, being spokesman at the Home-office, he represented to Mr. Walpele• the hard- • ship to theperties of their being no means cf obtaining • compensation. After some conversation the Right Hen. Geneemansaid the Act was -a very. arbitrary one indeed, and expreased his regret that the petitioners had not an opportunity of being heard before the matter was de cided. What he said amounted teethe expression of •a - wish that the corporation of London would yet give them an opportunity to be . heard; . and he added that,• though he considered him morally bound, he was quite ready to go into the question. again.. He. (Mr.' Streeten) felt certain that the Right Hon. Gentleman wished the question to be reopened. Mr. DE JERSEY inked Mr. Streeten whether, in sptakieg of compensation beiore the Home Secretary, he referred to the case of lands, of houses, or of shops. Mr. Streeter. said he pointed out that a portion of the Property in• the neighbourhood of .the intended market was let upon long leases, and ho observed that that case was altogether one -of great hardship; especi ally as the buildings could only be occupied as residences. Mr. Barertoorr asked whether, before the decision of the SeeretarY of. State stela...given, the petitioners b a d any otneorttinity of learning •tbat the market was likely to come into their neighbourhood. Mr. Streeten replied that• they had •no means of knowing; the Act - Or Parliament did not provide for any notice. It was true that they saw in the new Tapers a rumour on the subject, bat they did not know whether or not there was any truth in it. The Home Secretary said he considered himself morally bound—the Right Hon. Gentleman used the word " morally" emphatically —t e approve the • site which - had" been' selected if he should be called upon to do so: that was all he said 'on the subject. ' . Mr. C. YOUN G asked Mr. Streeten if he was not aware that the Smithfield Market Bill was brought in by her Majesty's late Gc, , vernment. Mr. Streeten--he Bill itself chows that it was. Mr.. C. YOUNG reminded Mr. Stream that the eerpo rstion.opposed tho Bill to the utmost of their power. The petitioners. then withdrew. Mr. Deputy LOTT said he regretted that a question of such great importance should have been brought on at so late an hour, when the court .wes nearly exhausted by previous diseussions.—(Heer.) Now, bow stood this ques tion? The petitioners, who were most respectable indivi duals, would be cruelly damnified by the confirmation of the selection of Copenhagen-fields as the site of the new market. It appeared that negotiations were going forward when the late Government retired. from office; and the pre sent Government having acceded to office, Mr. Walpole, never having been in his life in Copenhagen-fields, and scarcely knowing where they were—(A voice—" That Ise very strong esseition")—gave his assent to the site se lected by the corporation. Mr. Walpole' said he had already given his consent, in consequence of the repre sentations made to 'him by the corporation, .spd in the belief that nothing more than his nominal consent was required. Was it' not feartul•to think that a mere no mieal consent should have the effect of ruining num bers of .individuals? A .great d ea l was sa id about the difficulty of obtaining ' sites.

DE JERSEY protested against the statement of Mr. Deputy Lott, that the Secretary of State had been entrapped into giving his consent. •He was surprised that his friend should have made such a remark. The Right Hon. Gentleman might • never, have been at a tea-party at Copenhagen-fields like his friend. — (Laughter.) But he.had,tevertheless, tent people there to make iliquiries.
