FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the 3fesiisger des Chambres, of Tuesday.) VIENNA, MAY 26.-The accounts from Gallicia respecting the spread of the cholera are rather alarming. It is said that some persons have been attacked by it at Lemburg. Most of the officers of Dvvernicki's corps will reside on the estates of Prince Charles of Lichten stein, in Moravia. Letters from Semlin say that the Pacha of Scutari has succeeded in rallying a part of his dispersed troops, and is occupying a strong position on the frontiers of Bosnia, where he a waits the approach of the Grand Vizier. MARTIGNI (IN THE VALAIS), MAY 28.-This town has become a focus of insurrection. Several of the surrounding c ommunes have joined with it to reject the organic law. The assemblages of the people have been every were calm and inoffensive, but they have not yielded either to the threats or to the promises of the Government. A considerable armed force is daily expected ; orders have been given to put six companies on foot, but it seems that the augmentation of the insurgents has changed the determination of the Government. The soldier; have, besides, shown great unwillingness to take arms. The petitioners have turned their thoughts to a person of great merit. M. Churaz has been chosen mediator. Every thing may be expected from the co-operation of this distinguished patriot. Pmt.'s, JUNE 6.-M. Marie, manager of the Tribune, was tried yesterday, before the Court of Assize, on an accusation, Ist, of inciting to hatred and contempt of the King's Government ; 2d, of in citing to hatred and contempt of a class of persons; 3d, of inciting to civil war. This triple accusation was founded on an article published by that Journal, on the 11th of February, on the occasion of a speech delivered by M. Dupin the elder, against an amendment relative to the municipal law, and the object of which was to grant the elective franchise to all the National Guards wearing a uniform. " The prosecution was supported by M. Partar rien Lafosse. M. Mouler was counsel for M. Marie, who himself offered some observations. After con sulting for three quarters of an hour, the Jury found the defendant guilty, on the second count, and the Court sentenced M. Marie to three months' impri sonment, and a fine of 3,000 franc;. Several journals announce that fresh troubles have broken out at Tarascon. A letter received in the usual course, informs us, on the contrary, that the agitation is far from being so great, and that tran quillity will soon be restored. On the other hand, we are certain that no telegraphic despatch has been received by the Government, which removes every reason to presume recent disorders. The official part of the itioniteur contains two Rtyal ofdinances, by which, during the absence of the Secretary of War and the Minister of Commerce, both of whom accompany the King on his tour, the President of the Council is authorized to give orders and sign in his name, for all that may be ne cessaty in the departments of the two absent Mi nisters.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 5.—A salute of 101 guns, and the ringing of all the bells, announced yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, the election of the Prince of Saxe Coburg as King of the Belgians. Immediately after the proclama tion of this election Mr. C. White, secretary to Lord Pon sonby, set out for London in a carriage and four, preceded by two couriers, to announce to the Prince his election to the throne of Belgium. It is said that a steam-boat had been engaged before hand to convey bim over. A Colonel attached to the French legation set out at the same time with despatches for Paris. A Cabinet British messenger set out at the same time to the Hague, probably to announce to the King of Holland, the choice which our Congress has just made. By the decree of the 4th of June the Regent, on the re port of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has appointed Messrs. Devaux, Van de Weyer, Count d'Aerschot, and Nothemb, Commissioners to the Congress at London, to carry on the negociatious authorised by the decree of Con gress of 2d June. It was reported yesterday evening that the works for the defence of Antwerp had been resumed, in consequence of a threat of General Chasse. After the election of the Prince of Saxe Coburg, in the sitting of the Congress yesterday on the choice of a deputation of ten members, including the President, to wait on his Royal Highness with the news of his election, and to offer him the Crown, the Minister of the Interior presented his budget. The Congress resolved that it would not separate ; that on Monday the section should meet, and that there should be A public sitting on Tuesday at noon. BRUSSELS, JUNE 6.—M. Le Ilavour, Ambassador to the Court of France, set out last night for Paris. The Deputation of the Congress, which is to announce to Prince Leopold his election to the throne, will not set out before Tuesday morning. Messrs. Devaux and Nothomb, Special Commissioners to the Congress, set out yesterday evening. Messrs. D'Aerschot and Van de Weyer, not wishing to take in London any character besides that of Members of the Deputation to Prince Leopold, have not accepted the mission of Commissioners of the Government to the London Congress. We find the following article in a journal—" A me morandum, dated 29th May, has been addressed by the Congress at London to Lord Ponsonby. This memo randum is in nine articles. The following are the prin- eipal " 1. The Congress (the Conference) declares that it has exhausted by the Protocols all the concessions that it can and will make to Belgium. The latter has only to sub mit to them. " 2. Neither Prince Leopold nor any other Prince will accept the Crown of Belgium, till Belgium has first ac cepted and executed the Protocols. " 3. If the Protocols are not accepted, the Powers will take such measures as their engagements, their dig nity, and the security of the adjacent states shall require." It is certain that the King of Holland has refused to agree to an arrangement concerning Luxemburg, and that he bas declared this to Sir C. Bagot, the English Ambassador, who in the end acknowledged that his re fusal was well founded. The Regent has appointed M. F. Tielmans, now Ge vernor of Antwerp, to be Governor of Liege, and M. Count Rogier to be Governor of Antwerp. BRUSSELS, JUNE he ten deputies fora the Con gress set out for Ostend at half-past five this morning to embark for London. Two English couriers arrived in the course of yester day at the residence of Lord Poneonby. This diplomatist, who is said to be ill and very much cast down, expects his secretary, Mr. White, on Thursday at the latest. His Lordship gave him express orders to bring back instruc tions from the London Congress. We are assured that there is a great coolness between M. Lebeau and the envoy of the Congress. The Independant says th at M. Rogier has not accepted his appointment. VIENNA, May 28.—A French courier who arrived to day. from Constantin o pl e , who left that city on the 14th inst., b r i ngs a bulletin published on the 13th by the Porte, relative to the total defeat and dispersion of the troops of the Pacha of S cutar i b y t h e Grand Vizier. After the defeat of the 20th April, Mustaph a Pacha was unable to maintain his ground either in Ro puli or Askal; all the Paellas who before supported hi m , ha ve t only deserted him, but have become his most lve inveterateno or der to obtain their pardon from the Sultan enemies, in luetaplia ' Pec' a ttended by a few fo ll ow ers, is s aid to have fied ip'. tately to Scutari , bu t all the p asses are sai d to be occupied , so that he has little chance of escape. Accounts from Lembnrg of the 23d, say that abou , thirty persons bad already been carried off by the cholera. The Government has taken the most energetic measures to check the progress of the disorder. Four per Cent. Metalliques, 11%; Bank Shares, 1,036. LISBON, MAY 23.—Last Saturday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, his Majesty returned in good health from Samora Correa to this city.

Brussels and French Papers contain little fresh news of moment. The Government pro secutions of the Press were still continuing ; the latest was that of M. MARIE, Manager of the Tribune, who was tried at Paris on the sth for inciting to hatred and contempt of the King's Government, and endeavouring to stir up a civil war. After some little hesitation the Jury found him guilty, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 3000 francs. These prosecutions will assuredly do Louts PHILLIPPE no good : they are the most inju dicious things possible, as his MAJESTY will, ere long, find. Every fresh attack on the liberty of the Press is a step gained for the people.— The Messager des Chambres states, on the authority of several Journals, that fresh troubles have broken out at Tarascon, but that a return to tranquillity may shortly be expected. In the Allgemeine Zeitung, in an article dated Vienna, May 28, we find the following : " A French courier, who arrived to-day from Constantinople, who left that city on the 14th instant, brings a bulletin published on the 13th by the Porte, relative to the total defeat and dis persion of the troops of the Pacha of SCUTARI by the GRAND VIZIER. After the defeat of the 20th of April, MUSTAPIIA PACHA was unable to maintain his ground either in Ropuli or Askal ; all the Pachas who before supported him have not only deserted him, but have be come his most inveterate enemies, in order to obtain their pardon from the SULTAN. MUS TAPIIA, attended by a few soldiers, is said to have fled precipitately to Scutari, but all the passes are said to be occupied, so that he has little chance of escape." This insurrection, it is well known, was brought about by the intrigues and gold of Russia, who wished to paralyse the Porte in order that it might be tendered totally helpless during DlEBlTscies campaigns in Po land. We are glad that the manoeuvre has failed, and that the GRAND SEIGNIOR may yet be a thorn in the side of NICHOLAS. The intelligence from Ireland continues to be of the most alarming character. Pestilence and famine stalk across the country with the stride of a giant, blasting, desolating, and destroying every thing within their reach. Hundreds of the peasantry, say our accounts from the West of Ireland, are already stretched on the bed of mortal sickness, and hundreds more, unless some prompt means of relief be found, must be swept from the face of the earth. Such being the case, we call on the opulent members of the Irish Pro testant Church, the Archbishops, Bishops. Deans, Archdeacons, Prebends, and the almost interminable number of well-paid Pluralists who draw so many—many annual thousands from the country, to step forward at this awful crisis, and relieve, with their purses as well as their prayers, their starving fellow-creatures. We call on them to put in immediate practice the Christian doctrines of charity, which they so eloquently recommend from the pulpit ; to act as well as to talk. Why do we not see the names of the Irish Bishops attached to some public subscription for the relief of their countrymen ? What too has become of the wealthy absentees, titled and untitled ? Why do they not come forth at this eventful season ? Surely the country from which they derive their all, is worthy of some little consideration ! Let each absentee put his shoulder to the wheel ; let each contribute a sum proportioned to his means ; • and many valuable lives may yet be preserved. But it is to her Protestant eLtablishment that behind has the best right to look for assistance, in this, her season of calamity. She has a right to look for a few thousands from those who annually drain her of millions, and who are paid these enormous sums for the express purpose of enforcing those Christian doctrines, among which —inter inille llessimus —charity stands pre- eminent. " Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." Bishops and Pluralists of the Irish Protestant establishment (the wealthiest in all Europe) we pray you to bear in wind these beautiful—these eloquent—these invaluable words of St. PAUL Now is the time to show that you are Christians At heart, as well as by profession ; to prove to the world that you look on religion not as a matter of trade, but of principle. At a late hour this afternoon we received Dutch and German Papers, from which we give the following extracts :-- THE HAGUE, JUNE s.—General de Steurs having been appointed by his Majesty Commander of the army in the East Indies, has had his final audience of his Majesty, and will shortly sail for his new destination on board the King of the Netherlands frigate. ROTTERDAM, JUNE 6.—lt is affirmed that M. de Kock his declined the post of Minister of Finance, which was offered him. Major General Goedeke, on the departure of the Duke of Saxe Weimar, is charged with the interests of his Ma jesty, the King of the Netherlands, in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. THE HAGUE, JUNE 6.—ln the sittings of the second chamber of the States General on the 2d and 3d instant, the project of law for modifying the tariff was discussed. A few members were adverse to some parts of the project, but a great majority were in favour of it as being the first step towards the abandonment of the absurd system that has been followed for some years, and towards a return to freedom of trade. M. Van Alphin said on this subject, " When we shall be delivered from foreign theories and Belgic liberation, the freedom of commerce, by which our country was rendered flourishing, will again afford us great advantages." The law was agreed to by a majority of 38 to 8. AMSTERDAM, II'NF. 6.

SEMLIN, MAY 20.—Letters from Constantinople say that the report of the recall of General Guilleminut was .plead there, and was generally believed, though not made known officially ; at least the French Legation (lid not contradict it. The Reis Effendi, and even the Sultan, are said much to regret this circumstance, as Count Guillemi not, had in the most difficult circumstances, and especially when the Ambassadors of the mediating Powers left Con stantinople, behaved with so touch prudence and modera tion towards the Porte, that his departure cannot be looked upon with indifference.

We have this moment very important news from the Brazils. A letter is in town from Rio stating that the Emperor of Brazil had alalicated his throne, in favour of his son, on the 7th April ; his troops refused to fight fur him, and he has embarked on board the Volage French frigate. The young Queen and the rest of the Royal Family have embarked on board another French frigate to proceed to England. The above events took place on the 6th and 7th April. It is remarkable that the Exchange at Rio Janeiro was better, being at 22. The French mail has arrived, which reports that the French Funds are I 1 per cent. lower. Opium may be quoted as follows : Patna at 860 Spanish dollars per chest, with fair demand ; Malwa, Company's, 540 for time bargains ; Benares, 855 Spanish dollars for time bargains ; Turkey, 600 Spanish dollars, per pecul, stock large. From the reduced supply of next seaso❑ Bengal drug, it is to be expected that it will gradually advance. The French mail has not as yet arrived, which is rather extraordinary, as the weather was fair yesterday. A mail has arrived from Lisbon. It appears that on the 26th ult. a French frigate and brigs made their pearanca again off the Tagus, and captured some more Portugmese vessels. THE FUNDS. Our funds are very heavy this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 for the account, opened at 83i but owing to a report of the French funds coming lower, they have declined to S2l-, at which price they are at present. In the Foreign Market Brazil stock has fallen since ye s _ terday morning 7 per cent., owing to various unfavour_ able accounts from Rio. It is now reported that the Em peror of Brazil has embarked. HALF-PAST TWELVE. Bombay Gazettes to the 30th of January have been received at the North anti South ti merican Coffee-house. The following is from the 19th : GENERAL ORDER BY THE HONOURABLE GOVERNOR 1N COUNCIL. With sentiments of the deepest regret the Government announce the death, at half-past 12 p.m. of this month, at Mahableshwur Hill, of his Excellency Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Thomas Sidney Beckwith, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Presidency of Bombay. In consequence of this melancholy event, the flag at the Castle is to be hoisted half-staff high, and minute guns to the number of sixty fired ; and that mourning be worn by the officers of his Majesty's and Honourable Company's civil, military, and naval services for three weeks. The charge of the office of Governor of the Presidency has devolved on John Romer, Esq. HALF-PAST ONE. The news from Brazil of the Emperor having abdicated his throne in favour of his son, only three years obi, and his embarking with his family on board two frigates for England, has caused a great sensation in the city, and is the general topic of conversation on 'Change. It is said that only four of his soldiers remained true to him. Consols are at present 82i 83, for the account. The French letters will be late before they are delivered. In the Foreign Market there has been a re-action in the Brazil Stock ;it was as low as 53:J1 —at present it is 55.

PAGANINI " SHROUDED."—The world, it - - appears, during PAGA NINI'S youthful days, was very nearly being deprived of him who is now the "Premier Fiddler in the world !" It is stated that " at the age of four yea he was attacked by the measles, a disorder which, in his case, was attended with unusually aggravated symptoms. So extraordinary an influence did the disease exercise on his nervous system, that he remained during an entire day in the state of catalepsy, or apparent death, and had actually been enveloped in a shroud, when a slight movement fortu nately revealed the fact of his existence, and saved him from the horrors of a premature interment." LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. CIAIG V. ONSLOW. In this case Mr. Gibson Craig purchased in 1808 from Mr. (the present Lord) Onslow an estate for about 90,0001. Mr. Craig afterwards sold the estate to a Mr. Clarke for a considerable advance of price. Disputes artist between the plaintiff and Lord Onslow respecting the payment of the purchase-money, the title, completion of the contract, and so on. Mr. Clarke was let into possession. An action was brought against Mr. Clarke. and Mr. Craig filed his bill for a specific performance of the contract on the part of Lord Onslow, an injunction to restrain ejectment proceedings at law, and various other objects. Proceedings went on till 1818, when grow ing tired of them, the puties entered into an agree ment, as it was said, for the purpose of putting an end to the litigation and the disputes in course of arrangement. This contemplated arrange ment failed in being accomplished, a supplemental bil, was filed, and all the legal contests renewed. It was ar gued that the agreement had put an end to the original law proceedings, and a demurrer was put in, which his Honour, the Vice Chancellor allowed. The case came be fore this branch of the Court on an appeal from his Honour's decision. His Lordship in giving judgment this morning, expressed himself satisfied that the original pro ceedings could not have been put an end to by the agree ment between the parties, the suit remaining in Court, and no order having been obtained dismissing it. Now he had not a doubt of it, and therefore lie felt bound to reverse the order of the Court below, and to overrule the demurrer, with costs. Several other cases stood in the paper for judgment to day. PETERS V. PICKERING, His LORDSHIP said he should dispose of before the rising of the Court, as he wished to see an authority which he had not seen, but should have an opportunity of seeing in the course of the morning. I.OFEZ V. DE TASTET, Was ordered to be spoken to on a single point or two re. specting some of the exceptions. JONES V. MORRELL, Was directed to stsnd over till Monday, in consequence of his Lordship wishing to see a note that he had taken of the arguments, but his book containing which had been mis laid for the present. OLDHAM V. EBORALL. The arguments were resumed and concluded in this long-litigated cause. His LORDSHIP stated, that before lie disposed of it, he should consult with the Learned Judges, before whom this case had also on former occasions been very fully discussed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JUDGMENT. - THE KING V. MESSRS. BENNETT AND BROUGHTON, MAGISTRATES OF WORSHIP-STREET. This was a rule for a mandamus to compel those gentle men to sign a pass for a. poor Irish woman that the parish officers of St. Luke's were anxious to send home, as she had become chargeable to them. The woman had a young child which was born in that parish, and so had gained a settlement there, and as the Magistrates could not remove it they refused to separite the mother and child. Both of the gentlemen being barristers they sheaved cause against the rule early in the Term, and their Lordships took time to consider of their judgment. Lord TENTraoEs, in giving judgment this morning, said that the case was one of extreme difficulty, it had been very well argued on both sides, and the Court had given it every consideration. The rule was applied for under the Act of Parliament 59th of George 111., chap. 12, which set forth that any person born in Scotland or Ireland, and becoming charge able to any parish in England, without having gained a s,tt!ement, should l e removed to the place of their birth ; but in it there was no power to remove the child or chil dren of such persons, born in England. In cases of this kind, where the removal was only from one parish to another in England, the common rule was that the child should also be removed for nurture, but the one parish accounted to the other for the maintenance of the child; in this case the removal back to Ireland where no Poor Laws were in force the case was different, and he would observe that the rule he had mentioned was only an understanding come to between the parishes for con venience, there was no Act of Parliament for it. After the most mature deliberation, the Court were of opinion that as the law now stood it was their duty to direct that the rule be made absolute, as far as regarded the removal of the woman, but so much of it as con cerned the child must be expunged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. EVELYN AND ANOTIIER V. PARKER. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff•, Messrs. Evelyn and Co., the wholesale hat-manufacturers in the borough, to recover the aura of 251. I4s. 9d. for a quan tity of hats supplied to the defendant, who is a retail hatter, residing at Islington. Mr. Wm. Evelyn proved that in January last the de fendant was supplied with fortytwo beaver hats, accord ing to his order ; they were delivered by the porter, and the receipt for them now produced, is in the hand-writing of the defendant ; the charge for the hats were the usual trade primes. The porter to the plaintiffs having proved the delivery of the hats to the defendant on the 22d of January lot, at his shop in Islington, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 251 14s. 9d. EINNAIRD AND CO. V PLACE. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Samuel, Joseph, and Edward Kinnaird, merchants in Lon don, to recover the sum of 8381 I Is. Id. from the de.. fendant, Mr. William Place, of Nova Scotia, for merehan dize sold and delivered to him, the said defendant. A letter written by the defendant to the plaintiffs in October, 1829, was produced, in which he admitted the demand of 838/. I Is. Id. due to the plaintiffs to be correct, and declaring that sooner than he would not pay it, he would suffer incarceration for Mr. Edward Rowe Dunse, the agent to the plaintiffs, proved that the defendant had admitted to him, and one of the plaintiffs, that the balance was correct, and he agreed to it. There being no defence to the action, the Jury found for the plaintiffs 8381. 11/. Id. moult AND ANOTIIEK t. DAVIES. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Moore and Reid, against the defendant, Mr. Win. Davies, to recover the sum of 991. 94.'7d. upon a bill 0f exchange, drawn by Wilson and Co. upon, and accepted by the de fendant, at three months' after date. The hand-writing of the defendant having been proved, and there being no d e fence to the action, the Jury found for the plaintiffs for the amount of the bill and interest thereon. BRADY V. THORNTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover 181. 2s. 3s. from the defendant for goods sold and delivered. Proof was given that the defendant had admitted the amount to be correct, and that he would pay it as soon as he could.

Favourable accounts were received yesterday tro ruing by Gin ernment front Wales. The riotous workmen of Merthyr Tidvil, who had made an irruption into Mon mouthshire, to seduce or compel the workmen there to join them in their outrages, had failed in effecting that object, and the men who had gone from the works with the rioters had returned to their homes. An additional military force of dragoons, &c., had arrived at Merthyr Tidvil, and the civil force was well supported, and order and quiet had been restored. Several of the rioters at Merthyr had been apprehended. StIiPPING iNTELLIGENCE -( TIN S DAY,) FROM LLOYD'S.

Ttii RUSSIANS.—It is not generally known, but cannot be too extensively circulated at present, that in I7SO, when we were hampered with the American war, the just and moderate Empress of RUSSIA (CATHERINE II.) formed a general confederacy with the Continental Powers for the purpose of resisting the right of search and blockade claimed by England. THE POLES.—Upon referring to history we find that in 1315 the Swiss threw off the yoke of Austria ; in 1609 the Dutch released themselves from Spanish bondage ; and that 1782 was the era of American inde pendence. Why should not the Poles be equally successful in 1831?

Two murders have just been committed in the Commune of Bellend, in the Canton of Pouilly-en- Auxois. The Cure and his niece were found strangled in their beds. Not the slightest trace of the murderer could be discovered, and there appears to be little ground for expeAing that he can be brought to justice.—Courier de l'Europe. A most disastrous fire took place in a cottage at Tredinny, in Buryan, on the evening of Saturday last. The owner and his wife quitted the house about nine o'clock in the evening, with the intention of going to see some pigs, which were kept at a distance, leaving four children. the eldest about ten, and the youngest three years of age, at home in bed. On their return in about an hour, they discovered the house to be on fire. The husband having procured a ladder, attempted to rffect an entrance into the chamber in which the children were placed, through the window, but the flames, now gaining additional strength every moment, baffled all his efforts. Although every exertion was made on the part of the ne i g hb o urs, the flames could not be got under, and the cottage was reduced to ashes. The remains of their chil dren were interred in one grave,-- }Vest Briton. IRELAND. (From the Times.) One source of hope for the progress of Ire and towards affluence, is the activity with which men of practical information, guided by deep and meditative sagacity, are turning their thoughts to the question,—by what means, other than poli tical experiment, can the good of that country be secured ? An able pamphlet has been sent to us, which professes to be from the pen of Mr. C. W. Wil liams, and to hare been suggested by the report of the Select Committee on the state of the poor of Ireland, of which Mr. Spring Rice was chair man ; to which gentleman the present produc tion, as well as that of Dr. Doyle, already re . ferred to by this journal, has been - dedicated. To state the purpose of Mr. Williams in one line, it is to bring out the natural resources of Ireland, by giving increased facilities to her com merce. In the course of his discussion, he en- deavours to explain a number of seeming incon sistencies in the position of the island, and to repudiate altogether some allegations received and reasoned on as facts. After enumerating the remedial measures pro posed by the Committee, and affording them as a whole his warm approbation, the author de velops his own views of what constitute the most pressing wants of Ireland, as means for setting commercial capital in motion. The absence of capital, or its tardy progress, Mr. Williams al together denies. He says that neither can it be true of a country containing 7,000,000 of in habitants, which has added to her monied capital within six years and a half above 14,000,000/. of funded property, as evinced by the Govern ment returns. He then goes on : " It is not capital, but available capital, that Ire land wants,—capital that will be so employed as to reproduce itself through the instrumentality of labour. b, then, Ireland in a condition to induce capital to seek investments in the same direction that it does in England ? He is a bold man who will answer this in the affirmative. " The previous question' then is, what vhou'd be done to bring it into a condition that capital may be profitably employed, and labour made available ? The following short summary will be found to com prise the leading features of the case. " 1. The population want employment. " 2. '1 hat can only be supplied by the pursuits o f agriculture, trade, or commerce. " 3. These cannot be promoted without inter course and interchange. " The application of these first principles to the present condition of Ireland is the object of the fol lowing pages. " It may be laid down as an indisputable point, and it applies with the greatest force to an agricul tural country, that whatever may be the quality of the soil, or the extent of its population, no matter what the natural products may be, without a facility of intercourse for persons, and of interchange for produce, they avail nothing. They are the gold in the mine. We need go into no refinements of po litical economy. We need search for no hidden causes of pauperism or turbulence ; but, finding a region with a dense unemployed population, yet wanting the necessary facilities of interchange for its labour, we may pronounce at once that such dis trict cannot make any progress in industry or ca pital, or even in civilization. On the contrary, in proportion as its population increases, while the means of intercourse remain restricted, will the evils increase. The population will remain poor ; con fined to the lowest description of sustenance, and de pendent on the seasons for that sustenance ;—igno rant, easily excited, without industry or emigation, and degraded to the lowest scale of civilized beings. " It is not, then, the want of capital in Ireland which occasioned that depression of which all cam plain, though so few have pointed to the real cause ? No. Capital is an ingredient unquestionably ; but Ireland must first be prepared to employ capital pro fitably. Neither is it to the abundance of capital alone that England owes its prosperity and the active spirit of trade which prevails throughout. This is the gist of the argument. " Among the first great causes of thatindustry and trading activity which is so characteristic of England, are, the extraordinary facilities which every part of it possesses for the interchange of pro duce and products ; first, by lines of road and inter nal navigation available for the purposes of inter change among the several counties ; and, secondly, by the connection these navigations maintain be tween the interior and the sea-ports,—those great vents for the produce of surplus labour, and inlets for the return of consumable foreign articles and luxuries. 'Tis these which impart a value to its labour, its skill, industry, and science ; and which, in their ruin, increase the value of the very capital which these incidents have themselves created. It is labour thus rendered available, and not the mere command of capital, which has brought England to its present state. England itself bad once no capi tal but its soil and its population. Available, mar ketable labour, created capital; while capital, in its turn, like the shower which returns to fructify the soil, increased the facilities of trading intercourse. Thus capital and labour reciprocally become cause and effect, and the progression becomes endless. " In confirmation of this view of the subject, it is important to observe that these facilities for trading intercourse in England have inci eased within the last century in a commensurate degree with the in crease of the population, and concurrently with the progress she has exhibited in arts, manufactures, and the improvement of agriculture. " Had, however, the population increased, as in Ireland, without a corresponding increase in the means of intercourse, by which the augmented labour of her augmented population might be dis posable, it requires no great reach of mind to see that her condition, notwithstanding her poor laws, must have been as unsatisfactory and unsettled as that which many parts of Ireland at present ex hibit. The system of poor laws, indeed, .so far limp producing any re-active principle, would, in that case, have been swallowed up in the increasing demands upon it. " Looking at the means by which the labour of the population in England is rendered available, we see one great distinguishing feature, one universally r e %railing characteristic,—one so decidedly national and unique, that it would be folly to underrate it as one of the great momenta of individual and general prosperity. " We find the kingdom intersected in every part and direction with the means of interchange of com modities ;—roads, canals, and rivers, either naturally navigable, or made so by human means. Every where is e find those numerous conduits, like the veins and arteries in the human frame, maintaining this circulation of the life's blood of trade and com merce in an endless and returning current between the centre and the extremities. It is this unceasing and active circulation which gives strength and energy to the whole frame of society. Without it, the body politic becomes corrupt, diseased, and dangerous, Now look to Ireland. Compare it in a cor responding point of view. Look for its means of giving a market value to labour and industry. Look Tor its invigorating sources of trading intercourse, by which ' capital may be profitably employed,' more especially in those divisions which are most disturbed, most exposed to want and pauperism, and, withal, most populous. Compared with Eng land, the picture of its nakedness is distressing, and almost incredible. Many great divisions of the land without water conveyance of any kind. Those within it s reac h , f rom one cause or o ther, unable to turn it to a d vantage , or unc onscious of its influence and value.
