EXCHANGE ON PARIS Max 19.—Th e re p ort which we gave yesterday is confirmed. IV. de Peyronnet returns to the Ministry, escorted by Messrs. de Chantelauze, de Suleau, and perhaps by some other men, whose names offer the same guarantees of the liberty and tranquillity of France. To announce such a choice, is to say plainly enough that the most lively alarm must have been spread among our speculators, and that our Funds could not recover the check they experienced yesterday; in fact, the decline has continued to make a sensible progress. The Three Per Cents fell 30 cents below the closing price of yesterday ; the Five per Cents. 15 cents ; the Ducats 35 ; and the Rente Perpetuelle %. (From the Quotidienn M in Thursday.) We give this news (change ofstry) from the Gazette without venturing in any way to compromise ourselves. We would not, however, have it understood that we, by this expres sion, indicate a choice. We have perfect confidence in the King's wisdom, and have no doubt but that the new selections, whatever they may be, will confirm the principle of the policy of the Bth of August. Talent, courage, discreet and provident firmness, are what we look to for the safety of the throne and the honour of France. Our concurrence is pledged to the King's Government, faithful to itself, and devoted to the defence of Society. ST. CLOUD, MAY 19.—This morning his Majesty transacted business with Prince Polignac, and afterwards with the Baron de la Bouellierio, Intendant-General of the King's Household. The King gave a private audience to M. Courvoisier, Minister of Justice, and M. de Chabrol, Minister of Finance. M. de Montbel visited his Majesty at three o'clock. MM. de Peyronnet and de Chantelauze had afterwards an au dience with the King. (From Le Globe.) MONSIEUR DE PEYRONNET. The evil genius has prevailed. A man whom France never names in cold blood—a man who has commenced his political fortune by demanding twelve heads from the Chamber of Peers, is Minister of the Interior. Under existing circumstances, AL de Peyronnet is worse than M. de la Bourdonnaye. We have now even to regret the Ministry of hug. 8. This melancholy change, this progress in the career of evils, will distress all persons of any sense and patriotism. We see in it but one compensation—namely, the happy influence which this piece of intelligence, and the measures likely to follow it, must exercise on the elections. Our majority—namely, that of the Liberals —will be the stronger for it, as well as the more spi rited. Electors! the Ministers are recruiting for you. France appeals against their fatal resolutions to your vigilance, and to your activity and energy. May you save the Government in spite of itself. TRIBULATIONS OF THE MINISTRY.. The clerks of the Post-office were the first to set an example. On Sunday they laboured till five o'clock. Poor functionaries ! The electioneering manoeuvres have begun. The coming month will justify you against all sneers about bureaucratic sinecures. One laborious month like this willbalance eleven months' official idleness. How many (days will you spend without rest ! How many nights without sleep ! An active correspondence,—revisal of documents,—analysings of indorsements,—lists of thousands of names, ciphers, and calculations! Then come the secret ser vice occupations, the inventions of chicanery, of frauds, and abuse of favours—the statistic of opinions —the study of police reports, secret meetings, and diplomatic interviews, heart-burn ings, and the anxieties of a mind tossed between Ministerial re proaehes and lashings of the Press, and the still more terrible Phantoms of dismissal ! '1 he life of a galley slave is by far more sweet. No prisoner was ever doomed to a ruder tr.:ad-mill—no convict ever turned a capstan half so toilsome I (From the National.) Messrs. de Chabrol and Courvoisier having resigned, there re mains no longer any hope for M. de Villele. Thus all the effort. of the Gozette eo obtain the dissolution only ended in raising M de Peyronnot to the head of a combination, which destroys the Ministry of M. de Polignac, and prevents for ever the return of M. de Villele. How the Gazette has been dui-ed. The Quo tidienne has been not less so, as Messrs. Berryer, de Vitrolles, and Dudon, do not appear. M. d e P eyronnet will shortly be the real head of this Cabinet. He formerly attempted to supplant irIL de Villele, which was no easy matter. He will more readily ern M. de Polign a c, upon wh om h e l oo k s only as a great Oblernan without any capacity. All who know M. de Peyronnet may easily anticipate what sort of thing his system of Administration will prove to be-- namely, the epunter-revolution more openly pursued th an b y M . de Villeie,:and with more activity than by M. de Polignac. We must be prepared for any thing. M. de Peyronnet will aim both at the end and the means. It would be a mistake to consider M. de Montbel as the mere warming-pan for M. de Villele. The former means to stick to the Finances, and M. tie Villele would only form part of a Ca binet composed by himself. M. d'Haussez, who was said to have been shaken in his hopes by the voyage he had undertaken, has, on the contrary, returned with his head full of illusions. The whole Cabinet fancies itself capable of conducting the elections in such a manner as to secure the majority, and of regaining the legality, and to use it after wards for their good pleasure, and according to the inspirations of the Congregation, which is entirely restored by this blow. When M. de Villele was at Paris, M. de Peyronnet had al ?eady evincod some intention to act on his own bottom • and it i;,...asserted [that the late Presidentiof the Council and 'himself had not Parted on the best terms. This is not to be wondered air t r i nt fo i r n y, t s . l. -hede Peyronnet was, to a certain point, out of his ele patienco Cabinet, where he had figured for such a length of alls sallies in the Chamber often embarrassed even the .de Villele. He was the counter-revolutionist of thate Cabinet and had ever absolutest bravadoes in his mouth. He Was incapable of any political manmuvring. Ho was ambi. :', 14 t0l of the honour of setting public opinion at defiance when epee;',sented his " Loi d'amour" (the law against the Press), and , law of sacrilege; and he succeeded in enhancing the odium of these measures by,his insolence of forms. He is one of those wrongheaded and passionate beings who seek for unpopularity in their publicuc life, as others do in their private affairs. But, for all that, as much real audacity, and an energy proper, if not toprevent the electors from doing their duty, at least to compel the functionaries to do what is called theirs. M. de Po lignac, being pushed on in spite of himself in the grand measure of the dissolution, may have wished him to become his auxiliary and, therefore, may have formed this alliance. This, at least, Is supposed to be the case; and the funds have this day felt the offeet of this opinion. The result of the elections is now less doubted in the public offices than any where else. The clever Roy a li s t s o f t h e G aze tte, and the generous Royalists of the Quotidienne, will be over whelmed by the same defeat, and by the same demonstration of their impotency. It appears by a copy of that spirited paper the North Briton, that the novelty of double sheets is not to be confined to London Newspapers, for the march of double sheets, like every other march of mind, has found its way to Edinburgh. The North Briton of Wednesday last, with an en terprise which reflects the highest credit upon its con ductor, contains, in a double sheet, a correct and—we need not add—lengthy report of the DUNDONNELL CAUSE—for it runs to twenty-eight columns of small type—a thing unprecedented in the annals of Law reporting !—and nearly as interminable as a Scotch law case can well be ! We, of course, have not room for this report — nor even for an abstract to-day—but" the object of the action was to reduce two deeds—that is to set them aside, by which the estate called Dundonnell has been taken away from its natural proprietor, and conferred on other individuals not heirs of the family." The trial occupied four days, when at last the Jury having been locked up from six o'clock on Friday evening to a quarter-past six on Saturday m orning —returned no verdict ! and were discharged according to the Statute,because they could not come to any agreement ! Ten of the Jury were said to be in favour of the plaintiff, and two of the defendant. The case, therefore (says the North Briton), re mains in precisely the same situation as if it had never been sent to the Jury at all ; the battle must be fought over again ; the parties must once more run the gauntlet of trial, and once more encounter the enormous expense of this Court, besides bring ing up a second time, whole legions of witnesses from the north. Such are the bles,ed fruits of re quiring unanimity in Juries. " During all the four days the trial lasted, the Court-room was crowded to excess ; and on Friday night a numbe r of persons had assembled in the Parliament-square, waitin g in anxious expectation for the verdict of the Jury. The case, indeed, hz" excited th e most intense interest, not so much per haps from its own importance, however great, as f r om the extraordinary ci rcumstances connected with it ; and above all, th e prodigious sensation it has produced in Ross-shire and the adjoining northern counties. "Counsel for the Pursuer,—the SOLICITOR-GE NERAL and PATRICK ROBERTSON, Esq. Advocate; Agent, HUGH MACQUEEN, W.S. Counsel for the defenders, HENRY COCKBURN, ANDREW SKENE, ANDREW RUTHERFORD, and W. PENNEY, Esqrs. Advocates; Agents, GIBSON-CRAIGS, WARDLAW, and DALZIEL, W.S. The estate in dispute is situated in a remote part of the county of Ross, about fifty miles from Dingwall. In the Bath Herald we find the following para- graph : " LONDON MAILS.-it is said that an alteration in the London mails generally is contemplated. The mails ate to be despatched from the General Post-Office an hour earlier than at present; and it is intended to save time by shortening the stages, and increasing the speed." Now this is news to us. The proposed alteration, if really contemplated, would be no improvement whatever. On the contrary, we think that if the departure of the mails were delayed an hour, or even an hour and a half, it would be a decided advantage to persons in the country, as enabling the news papers to give any important intelligence arriving in London up to that period, or nearly so. At present there is a very illiberal feeling manifested in certain quarters against conceding the least accommodation to the Public Press. However, we trust, with the im proving spirit of the age, a corresponding feeling may be generated in those official quarters which ought to take the lead—not be reluctantly led, in the good work of promoting the public welfare and con_ venience by all possible means. It is perfectly no torious, that at present no principle of improvement is first introduced into our public establishments, but it originates in a laudable spirit of individual emu lation and enterprise. Even the most creditable and splendid of our National Works owe their existence to individual spirit and munificence, so that what reflects most honour upon our country, or redounds most to the national glory, is produced by individual liberality, not by Government influence. England may thus be proud of her sans, though she blush in her glory ! In another part of The Sun will be found a full and authentic report of Mr. O'CONNELL'S reply to the attacks made on him in the House of Commons by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland, and the Hnn. Member for Melbourne Port. We have given this reply precisely as we find. it reported in the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday, on the principle that we are bound, as public Journalists, to give every man fair play. The attacks made for two nights successively on Mr. O'CONNELL were reported in our Paper at length; and it is but just in us to take this opportunity of giving his defence with equal minuteness. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. There was a good supply at this morning's market, but the trade was dull. Cabbages, Onions, Radishes, French Beans, New Potatoes, Gooseberries, Currants, and Strawberries, were cheaper than on this day se'nnight ; prices otherwise about stationary. Red Cabbages, Tur nip Greens, and Broeoli Sprouts, have nearly or quite gone out of season. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. _ - - - - - --- This is one of the dullest , mornings we have experienced for some time past in the City, we have neither news nor the least speculation going forward in the Funds, and the Express from Paris is of little or no importance. Owing to its being a holiday in the above capital, the price of the Rentes are nut quoted. Consols, which left off yesterday at 93!c 3 1,4 for the Account, opened at the same price, and continue so without a bargain doing as yet. The same stagnation prevails - in the Foreign Market, and the prices are nominal as per yesterday.

In the Foreign Market some business doing in Spanish and Greek Bonds; the former has gone down 1 per cent., and the latter about 2 per cent.. owing to reports that Prince Leopold has changed his mind and will not proceed to Greece; but this is a mere stock-jobbing manoeuvre, and cannot be depended upon. 7 HREE O' CL O CK.

We were this morning admitted to a private view of the paint ings of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, the majority of which consist of portraits of the most celebrated among the Royal, military, and political characters of Europe. The first thing that strikes the spectator, on looking at the portraits of the So vereigns, is their amazing meanness of expression. In spite of the courtly graces which the late President knew so well how to throw around his subjects, the Emperor Francis of Aus tria, the King Charles of France, and the King Frede rick of Prussia, look—the truth must out—like three rat catchers ! There is not the ghost of an expresssion visible in their Royal physiognomies; whence we conclude that they are striking likenesses. As regards our own gracious Monarch, George IV., his natural grace and dignity of face and manner are recalled vivedly to our minds, by the two ;portraits of him, which are fixed at the head of the north room. Of these two we prefer the smaller one, in which he is pourtrayed in the costume of a private gentleman—and a more finished gentleman in look, manner, and figure, was never yet made the subject of an artist's pencil. The portrait of Prince Metternich, which, we understand, is considered a correct likeness, gives but a faint idea of the acute ness, intelligence, and statesman-like qualities of the great Aus trian Minister. There is a self-sufficient look about him, which reminds us not a little of a dancing-master. This, however, is not the artist's fault. Pope Pius VIII. is admirable, indeed al most faultless, as a work of art, and we doubt not equally faithful as a resemblance. The late Marquis of Londonderry is a picture so well known, and so highly appreciated, that we need say little more than that it conveys a spirited idea of the courteous and gentlemanlike air of the original. Mr. Canning, too, is a capital portrait, full of intelligence, fire, and, truth of expression. But amongst this variety of portraits, our favourite picture in the Exhibition, is, we confess, the Satan, which, in point of con ception, is the sublimest, and, in point of execution, is. the happiest of any of the thousand and one paintings we have seen on the same subject. The figure of the Arch Fiend—the wild and inexplicable look of his eyes—the massive power of his forehead —the mingled scorn, hatred and irony of his mouth, clearly proves to us that had Sir Thomas Lawrence confined himself to this loftiest branch of the art, he would have been the first historical, instead of merely the first portrait painter of his age. Strange, however, to say, during the time we remained at the Exhibition (a full hour), not two persons thought it worth their while to enter the room of which this sublime production forms the chief ornament PARLIAMENT.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House met this morning for the purpose of hearing Counsel, and taking. into consideration the case of Sir Jonah Barrington. The SPEAKER to )k the Chair pre cisely at Twelve o'clock, at which time there were about sixty members present. The Order of the Day having been read Counsel were ordered to be called in. • The SPEAKER—Mr. Denman, for whom do you appear ? • Mr. DENMAN—On behalf of Sir Jonah Barrington. The SPEAKER—You may proceed. Mr. DENMAN then commenced his address. He said, thathe regretted that so short a time had been afforded to search for precedents in cases like the present. In former times the tenure of judicial affairs was at the pleasure of tl,e Crown, but it was found that the greatest inconve nience arose,from that system, for the Judges instead of dispensing justice were merely the servile officers of the State. There had been since the independence of Judges had been established but few complaints against those Learned personages. The Learned Counsel then cited several cases where charges had been made against Judges, and the House refused to entertain them. He then went into an histo rical account of the change in the law respecting judicial office, from the time of the Revolution to the Act of the late King, which made the Judges independent of the Crown. Since that period few instances had occurred where proceedings of any kind had been instituted against the individuals holding that high office.— A few there most certainly had been, and amongst those which resembled most the present were the cases of Mr. Justice Johnson and the present Chief Baron of Ireland, O'Grady, and the House refused to entertain them. If, therefore, in both these cases, the House had refused to proceed, it was much more incum bent upon them not to entertain the present proceeding. The Learned Counsel then contended that the fact of the original proceedings having been insti tuted without the knowledge, and carried on in the absence of the party accused, was amply sufficient to induce the ,House to abandon them, being, as they were, utterly subversive of any acknow ledged principle of the British Constitution. He main tained that Sir Jonah Barrington could not be subjected to this mode of proceeding, unless by some infraction of the law.. In all eases proceedings like the present were to be deprecated. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling upon the House to reject the proceedings, and not by adorting them raise in the public mind an impres sion that the Judges were removable at the pleasure of the Crown. Lord L. GOWER confessed after listening with great attention to the arguments of the Learned Counsel, he felt considerable difficulty in assenting to the proposition he had laid down. There was a moat material distinction between the cases alluded to by the Learned Gentleman, and the present case, the ultimate abandonment of those proceed ings turning upon points very different to those which involved the case now before the House. He thought if the House acceded to the proposition of the case going before a Jury,, they would be surrendering up those privileges which had. been exercised from time immemorial by the Hense. In such a case where would be the use of the Act of the 13th of William, it would be a total destruction of all, the principles laid down in that Act, to say, that the House should not take upon itself to act till it had obtained the opinion of a Jury. He thought the course that ought to be pursued was to' move an humble address to his Majesty fur the removal of Sir Jonah Barrington. Sir ROBERT WILSON entirely concurred with the arguments of the Learned Common Serjeant, considering that the House was not a proper tribunal to take into consideration cases like the present. The SOLICITOR •GENERAL thought there never was a case more clearly made out against any individual than this was against Sir Jonah Barrington, there was not a single point made out against him that had been rebutted or shaken in any way by the evidence that had been brought forward. It was clear that the money drawn out pro fessedly for legal purposes had been appropriated to his own private beneti.. The House could not attend to the wishes of individuals, but must adopt that course which justice demanded, and nothing, as it appeared to him, could follow these proceedings, but the infliction of a very heavy punishment upon the individual who was the object of them. If ever there was a case in which proceedings of a harsh nature were loudly called far, it was the present one ; and he (the Solicitor-General) was sure, had evi dence been produced clearly showing that the imputations against Sir Jonah Barrington were unfounded, he should have been one of the first to propose putting an end to these proceeding. Sir C. WETHERELL, who concurred in every part with what had been stated by the Solicitor-General, was addressing the House when our Reporter left. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. REECE V. TABRUM AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed of this case in judg ment. The defendants, John Tabrum and Wil iam Hart, were appointed trustees under the will of Mr. Johnson Clarke, dated in the year 1813, amongst other propel ty, of a mill, and certain premises in the county of Essex, with directions to sell the same 'es soon as conveniently they could, either by public auction or private sale, for the best price that could be obtained, and to apply the proceeds in a given way. Shortly before the death of the testator he hail been offered 8,6001. for the property in question with other property. It was then considered to be worth 10,0001. He refused to take the offer. The trustees put it up to sale by public auction in 1818, (having been previously requested by a Mr. Dutton, who had married a daughter of the testator, not to take less for it than 7,0000 and all they could get offered was 6,0001. Afterwards, by private contract, they got the offer of 6,5001. which also they refused to take. In 1823 it was again put up for sal., by public auction, and finally disposed of for 3,0001. and a fraction. The bill charged the trustees with negligence and improper .conduct in the management and disposal of the property, and it prayed that they might be decreed to be chargeable with the difference between the 6,5001. (which might have been got), and the 3,0001. and a fraction, (the amount actually got.) The trustees stated by their answer that they had exercised their utmost dis. cretion and best judgment ; that when the property was first ',put up for sale, it was worth at least 7,000/. ; that it was let at 4001. a-year ; that subsequently property of this description began to depre ciate in value, and regularly lowered in the market (al though hopes were entertained that it would rally) until 1823, when they were forced to sell, an important lease having then expired. Immediately previously to the sale a valuation of the property was made, and the amount of that valuation was 3000/. His Lordship could not, on the evidence before him, come to a conclusion that there had been any negligent or improper conduct on the part` of the defendants, so as to cause him to agree with the judgment pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor in the case, holding them responsible for the balance between that which was obtained and that which might have been got. At the same time, he did not feel that he ought finally to part with the case, but thought it right to refer it to the Master to inquire under what circumstances the sale was made, under what circumstances the delay took place, and to report specially. THE KING'S HEALTH. (From the Court Circular.) The Bulletin of his MAJESTY'S health issued yesterday was as follows : " Windsor Castle, May 21. " The KING'S symptoms continue favourable; but his MAJESTY has passed a had night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

THE ENGLISH PRESS. (From the Pilot.) How can Mr. O'Connell, said a London reporter lately, expect to be reported by the English press, who began his career by attacking the Times newspaper. This, com bined with the total dislike of Englishmen in general to any thing calculated to do good for Ireland, and the desire of venal newspaper proprietors to adapt themselves to the prejudice, this quarrel with the Times is the active cause of the suppression by the English papers of Mr. O'Con nell's extinction speech in reply on Wednesday. So, be. cause the Times was offended, the other papers are mean enough to include themselves in the imputations upon that Paper, by including themselves in the resentment. But it is a disgrace to the character of the British press, which nothing can efface. They give all the swaggering, the froth, the venom of Doherty and North, but they withhold the reply, which established the charge and ex tinguished the aggressors. It shows what we would have to expect from the British Press, if Goulburn succeeded in extinguishing our own, and also how little chance the voice of Ireland, in the British Legislature, has of doing anything for our interests. It 'demolishes the chance of fo . rMing an Irish party in the English House, the only thing relied upon by those who resisted the repeal of the Union. ;The following are just observations of the ExaMiner, alluding to the subject of suppressing Members of Parlia ment's speeches : The monopoly which the taxes create secures to two or three journals (which, in practice, govern the rest) the power of deciding what part and how much of the pro 'ceedings shall be made known • to the public ; it subjects .pUblic men to the caprice of an irresponsible tribunal, to which Windham and Canning were compelled to submit. Men of all parties are subjected to the pains and penalties of this body, and we . are informed that several do no now suffer as its victims, though they suffer in silence. Does a 'public man venture to denounce a wide circulating journal, its familiars soon understand the mode in which he is to be dealt with, and, as the first operation, his speeches are cut : thereporters of the other papers, having a 'strong motive to adopt a relaxation of the labour which only competition can sustain ' follow the example ; and the unkrtunate offender is made to appear to his constituents and.ko the world as haVjng, advocated his principles in efficiently, and he incurs the disgrace of having made a failure." FULL and AUTHENTIC REPORT of the REPLY Of MR. O'CONNELL, on the 12th INSTANT. (From the Pilot.) Mr. O'CONNELL—Sir, I avail myself of my right to reply. I am able to subvert the sophistry by which the Learned Gentle man is sought to be protected. Let me set myself right as to some of the assertions that have been made. In the first place, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has stated my definition of perjury. My opinion is, and I so stated it on the trial—that the breaking of a lawful oath, or the taking of an unlawful oath, is perjury. I was talking to the witness of the nature of perjury ; and I then said, that if he had broken a lawful oath, or taken an unlawful oath, he was equally guilty of perjury. Secondly, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, in a speech of great length, and which was rendered sufficiently ludicrous amidst its unwieldy length by the tragic tone in which it was delivered, has ar rived at the Sub-letting Act. The Sub-letting Act in this discu;sion!—(Hear, bear, hear.)—l cannot conceive how the Sub-letting Act can form a part of the Solicitor-General's defence of his conduct ; but he has the happy talent of in troducing matters quite irrelevant. Why, Sir, he might as well have introduced any other event that has take place sive the flood—nay, even the universal deluge itself.—(Hear, hear.) But that Learned Gentleman has been singularly un fortunate, for he has introduced the only speech of all those attributed to me which was so inaccurately reported that I cannot avow it. I avow all the rest. I admit every word he has read. I now re-assert again every word ; and but that he shrinks from the proofs—but that he withholds te proofs, I would prove to his condemnation the perfect accuracy of every accusation I ever made in this House, or out of this House. It is true that I spoke of the Sub-letting Act. It is quite true that I condemned that law in the strongest, the harshest terms ; but the con cluding part of the report is quite inaccurate. I never said what is attributed there to me. Nay, so inaccurate is that passage, that having met the reporter in the hall of the Four-Courts, on the morning after that report appeared, I reproached him with its inaccuracy. The reporter was, as most reporters are, sturdy upon the subject, and denied the inaccuracy of the report. I accordingly spoke to another reporter, with whom I was ac quainted, and at my request he wrote out the notes he had taken, which clearly shewed that I had not used the phrases attributed to me; or rather that they were spoken in so qualified a way as to bear quite a different meaning. If Thad used the expressions then, I would not deny them now. If I had now to speak upon that subject, I would mention it in terms commensurate with my abhorrence of that Act. It is not possible to find language strong enough to express my detestation of that statute. Sir, I know of 194 families, aye, families that have been th rown ou t o f th e i r habitations recently under that law, and are now actually pe rishing in the ditches without covering --almost without cloth ing or food. Let those who have no wants to feel applaud that Statute.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—l will begin with the Learn e d Solicitor-General of England. He demands my first courtesy. I agree in his inferences. I only dispute his statement of facts. But I perceive that the Noble Lord (Lord Leveson Gower) is about to leave the House. I beg of him to remain one moment. I will despatch his Lordship first, though out of order.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)—(Lord Leveson Gower returned to his seat.) I heard the speech of this Noble Lord without surprise or admi ration. He took a haughty tone without cause, and a dictato rial manner without authority. First, indeed, he assented to the good taste of my Noble and Excellent Friend, the Member for Aberdeen (Mr. Hume). My Hon. Friend is certainly not so fashionably neat as the Noble Lord. He is not such a ruler of fashion—such an " arbiter elegantiarum" as the Noble Lord.— (Hear,hear.)—He may not be so dainty or so courtly as the Noble Lord—but he has qualities which advise the Noble Lord to ad mire if he does not condescend to imitate them. He is holiest— he is straightforward—he hates a job—he loves economy of the public revenue—he despises the spoliators of the people's money —and he detects and exposes those speculators whom, in the present state of this House, he,cannot punish. Such is my Hon. Friend. He deserves the respect of every honest man—the love of every good man.—(Hear, hear, bear, and cheering.)—He has, indeed, already crushed the pretensions of the Learned Member for--.I really know not what borough.—(Here a cry of " Mel bourne Port.")—Aye, it may as well be Melbourne Port as any other. He has properly denominated that 'Learned Gentleman's speech, by a word which is due to that Gentleman himself, and by another equally apposite, which my Hon. Friend has himself added. He has called it " Salamander Butlbonery," There never was a more appropriate designation. I now return to the Noble Lord. He has ventured to censure my conduct out of this House; out of this House or in this House, I hold his censure at nought, nor do I undervalue it. He has taken upon himself, forsooth, to pronounce upon my conduct. I have a right to re taliate upon him as a public man. For his taste, for his judg ment, I have no regard; I rejoice that lie disapproves of my conduct—l should be sorry he approved of it. He is mighty in his own conceit—he is little in mine. If he served my country I would value him. But what has he done ? What one act of his official life has been useful to Ireland ? Where shall I find his services ? He has condescended to accept the salary of an officer amongst us, I take for granted that ho has received the emoluments of that office. I do not know hoW he has earned them. He has ornamented by his presence the apartments of Dublin Castle. But has he done any act of liberality ?—Has he promoted any one friend of civil or religious 4iberty ?—Has he, in short, raised himself into importance or consideration by any one act of his administration ? I deny that he has. What care I, then, for the unwise arrogance—the unfounded presumption —the overweening vanity of his censure. May I continue to deserve it. His office is, indeed, one of great promise. It is part of his public career. He is on his road (for such is the mi serable destiny of this country) to still higher station. He is an apprentice in politics, and he dares to censure me, a veteran in the warfare of my country. His office is a mere apprenticeship. The present Premier was Secretary in Irelaod— the present Secretary of State was Secretary in Ireland—so was the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. Their juvenile states manship was inflicted upon my unhappy country. I have heard that barbers tra n their apprentices by making them shave beg gars.—(Laughing.)—My wretched country is the scene of his po litical education. He is the shave-beggar of the day for Ire land.—(Cheers and laughter.)—l have now done with the Noble Lord—l disregard his praise—l court his censure—l 'cannot ex press how strongly I repudiate his pretensions to importance— and I defy him to point out any one act of his administration to w hich my countrymen could look with admiration or gratitude, or with any other feelings than those of total dis^egard.—(Hear.) --His name will serve as a date in the margin of the history of the Dublin Castle—his memory will sink in contemptuous obli vion.—(Cheers.) —1 now turn to the learned Solici•or, General — a nd first, let me express myabhorrence h e was in danger of ass•issination lit is insinuation, that ilelnd h . How unhappy is the fate of my country—there s not a pitif u l s l an d erer th a t d oes Ireland. ofa i meanness of cal umn i ous insinuation, and now here no t pour the vial of his wrath upo n h er. She i s also exposed to the more galling is a broad charge of assassination. We feed, we clothe, we fatten our accusers ; and when there is an occasion to make an English prejudice available, their assassination is imputed. I cann ot find language suff i ci ently strong to repud i ate t hi s f ou l s lander, or to express My abhorrence of it.—(Hear, hear.)— Why, even i n t he worst period s of our disturbances, the legal men were safe. 'Fhe White-boys spared, and even respected, the military. They also spared the legal prosecutors. They consi dered both as merely earning their pay, and treated them with the neutrality of feeling due to mere mercenaries. They killed no lawyers.—(Several Members I " Lord Kilwarden.")—The death of Lord Kilwarden was perfectly accidental. He fell by chance into the hands of a party in actual rebellion—mid it is be lieved that he was not known to those who put him to death. For the present I pass from the Hon. Solicitor-General to the Mem ber Melbourne Port, tie has arrogated to him. fectly characteristic —it contained no argument—it was free from lseeglfa'flotk°rnielswillieedYl believe, Melbourne e i knowledge—it i t e :t s of nl u y bj e c c e t n r c e li r s . c speech His untouched,sl)eiri-i order to introduce topics which might earn time approbation of those who have the moans of rewarding his exertions. It was divided into two parts. The first was all fulsome adulation of his legal commandant—adulation as groundless as could well be procured out of this House by the most accomplished sycophant. His - VeOnd part was a prepared attack upon me. The pompous ic ei dean. oi,zetie, doittr l \ri l n jauTgt himselfh: himha iistsotioeno.ri_stlpocyroco(r,:nni inanity of his studied periods—his ludicrous self-complacency, have been well commented on by the Hon.

If, indeed, I had come into this House nobody knew or cared how—if I had placed myself se curely on the back row of the treasury benches, if I had wasted my nights without daring to think for myself, listening to de bates in which I was not allowed to share—considered so unim portant to have an opinion ofmy own, but expected constantly to attend the ministerial troop, and unremittingly to vote with the Minister, then, indeed, might I be so low, so worthless a' to be the just object of contemptuous censure. But as I stated in the House the freely chosen representative of the people, I can easily, and without effort despise the sickly affec tation of phrase—the frothy selection of diction—the empty, but virulent declamation—and, in short, the .-entire corn_ bination of worthless vituperation which has already been fl) ufll%,:iihectsatx?ctoclnaersiLminisgeoehstft arrogance has he t a justly styled—" salamander buffoonery."—(Cheers.)—l shall dis miss the Learned Gentleman's attack in a few words. 1 think it was in bad taste; I am sure it was in bad feeling—but there is something worse, infinitely worse. Why, Sir, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman actually asserted that I had Tscritponed this motion from time to time—from one day to another day—and that having run through all these changes, I at length fixed on a Wednesday, in the hope that there may not be a House. I now ask, Sir, is this true? Is there one single word of truth in it ? Judge of the materials of the Hon. Gentleman's mind, when he pompously makes a statement totally destitute of truth. Why I never postponed this motion. I 'never appointed any day but one, and that is this day. And as to the supposing that there would not be a House, did I not know as well as the Hon. Gen tleman himself that there are enough of retainers always ready to make a House for those who find favour on the Ministerial Benches ? How can I expect not to be falsely traduced upon matters which occurred in Ireland, when here, in the presence of the entire House, a charge is brought against me directly con trary to the known truth.—(Cheers.)—l thus abandon the Learned Memberfor Melbourne Port to enjoy his " salamander" regard for dull matter of fact, and proceed to the rest of my anta gonists ; and here let me thank the Hon. and Learned Attorney and Solicitor-Generals for England, for the pleasing.contrast be tween their good manners and mode of treating this subject. They contrast strongly and pleasingly with the , conduct of those to whom I have been hitherto replying.—(Hear.) —The Attorney-General has founded his argument on a mere misrepresentation of what fell from me. He misrepresents my charge, and then says it is unfounded. My only and suffi cient answer to him will be found, in the distinct repetition of my charge, which I shall have hereafterto make. The Learned Solicitor-General for England deserves a different consideration, and lat once admit the force of his reasoning. His arguments are excellent--the facts alone fail him. I entirely concur with him in his reasoning, but I will easily show that he has mis taken the facts completely. I wish he had taken the trouble to read the deposition of the 29th of April, before he spoke of its contents. Sir, he has not read it at all. It is not what he says. It is not a deposition sworn to obtain a warrant. No warrant was to issue on it. It is a detailed account of the progress of a conspiracy. It is a piece of history—an historical detail of the progress of a conspiracy. But of what conspiracy ? Of a con spiracy totally differing in its nature and its details from that which Patrick Daly afterwards deposed to on the table as a wit ness, Let the Solicitor-General remember, also, that this depo sition relates to transactions of the 27th of April, and that it was sworn to on the 29th, two days after. Yet this contradic tory document was withheld at the trial, and convictions were had on the testimony of the man who was thus known to the ('ounsel to the Crown to have thus grossly trifled with his oath. The second mistake of fact which the Solicitor-General for England falls into arises from the fallacious and deceptive state ment of his colleague, the Member for Kilkenny. He is by that misstatement made to believe that one of the four men accused of the conspiracy to murder formed at the fair of Rathclare on the 27th April, 1829, was convicted at the last Cork Assizes upon the same evidence and before the same Judge. Sir, I totally deny that the fact was so. It is true that one of the four men tried at the last Cork Assizes was convicted,but not on the same evidence, nor for the same offence. The offence for which four men were tried at the last Cork Assizes, and one of them convicted, was an of. fence committed on the 2d of March, 1929, and not one of the four men who were accused by Patrick Daly of the offence of the 29th March subsequent.—(Hear, hear.) The Solicitor-Ge neral for Ireland avails himself of the number being foes in each of the cases, and thus he actually makes the House, and even his own colleague, believe that one of the four men accused at Rathclare, Peter Daly, was convicted at the last Assizes, a matter in itself totally false.—(Cheers.) Let there be no doub t of this. The four men accused at Rathclare, by Daly, were named Leary, Burke, Keeffe,' and Connors. The man convicted at Cork was named Lynch. Thus the fallacy as to the number of four men is completely exposed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The next mistake of the Solicitor-General for England relates to Mr. Ba ron Pennefather. He says that the Learned Judge was in pos session of the deposition at the first and second trial. I allege my conviction that he got that deposition only during the third trial. I say it is a calumny on that able and humane Judge to assert the contrary of my statement. If he had the deposition at the - first or second trial, would it not have been equally his duty to producejt to the prisoners' Counsel, at the first or second trial as at the third?—(Hear.) He felt it his duty so to produce it at the third trial: Would not the production at the third trial only have been.a direct condemnation of his own conduct at the two former trials, if he had that deposition at the first or second trial and withheld it? Sir, I repudiate such a slander on the learned and able Judge, It is the Solicitor-General for Ireland who imputes this misconduct to the Judge, I stand up in his de fence—l am convinced he is incapable of deserving this censure —no man ever attained the high station he holds with more correctness or reputation. lie won the prize by his pro found legal knowledge, his strict propriety of professional conduct, and by his unblemished moral character. He was no ignorant pretender, who endeavoured to compensate for his want of legal knowledge by servility.—(Cheers.)---He was no un principled adventurer, who being without knowledge of law, sought promotion by pandering to the bad passions of persons in power.—(Cheering.)—No, his course was plain, open, and dig nified. And now that this fact IS in dispute between the Learned and lion. Gentleman and myself—to what and to whom do I appeal? Why, to the notes of the Learned Judge him self ? Can any thing but a consciousness that the fact is as I state it, tempt the gentleman to refuse me thosa notes.—(Hear, hear.)—lf they shall be refused, then I stand on the fact as proved by the natural and necessary result of such implication,— (Hear, hear, hear.)—Allow me one word as to the testimony borne by the Hon. Member for Cork (Mr. Callaghan). He was on the second Jury, and he has, it seems made this sapient dia. closure—that the Jury were agreed' as I to thesguilt of the pri soners, and difl'ered only With respect to the evidenee.(Sitich laughing.)—Precious and sagacious Jurymen—they were ready to declare the prisoners guilty, but then they had not sufficient evidence to convict them. Admirable distinction ! Why, how could they ascertain the guilt, except by the evidence ? It was the very thing they had to try, the credibility of the evidence to establish the guilt. It seems, however, that the Honourable Member reversed the process, and having ing first decided that the prisoners were guilty, he then began to discuss the question of whether or not there was evidence to warrant that decision. I did, indeed, feel for my clients—per secuted clients—at the trial; but how much more would I have felt if I could imagine their lives depended on the deliberations of such a sagacious set of jurymen—of men who could continue for thirty-six hours under such an absurd delusion, with the Hon Member assisting them to go astray, Was not I right then to laud the one man of mansion sense who happened to be amongst them, I have heard of a juryman who refused to acquit, for no other reason than this, that the charges contained in the indictment were atrocious, although not proved. The Hon. Member for Cork was not that juryman I assure the House.--(Laughing.)—But it was a person of equal sagacity. I cannot, however, avoid congratulating the House on time access sion of wisdom which the Hon. Gentleman has brought amongst us.—(Laughter.)—l also congratulate the Solicitor-General for Ireland on the support of so discriminating an advocate.— (Laughter-)—I now come to the lion, Solicitor-General himself; and first, as a gentleman of the Irish bar, I repudiate and con demn in the strongest terms known to the English language, the practice stated by the Noble and Learned Gentleman of examin ing witnesses by counsel out of court. I assert that such a prac tice is held in just abhorrence by the Irish bar, that it is utterly repugnant to our habits and our feelings of propriety. Sacred Heaven! can the Hon. Gentleman be ignorant of the feelings of an high-minded profession on this subject ? Yet he stated it, in utter unconsciousness of its hapropricy. Why, what an evidence is this of tho absence of professional knowledge.— (Hear.)-4 do not rest my condemnation of this practice on my own assertion. I appeal at once to the Attorney-General for England—l call on him to sustain his Irish colleague if he can, Let him avow this practice if it be possible. But no—l will not wrong him. I know he condemns it as much as I do. I also make a similar appeal to the SoliestorsGeneral for England. I confidently state that he will not countenance such a practice.— (Hear, hear.)—aThus, Sir, I am confirmed by the almost una nimous assent of the bar of England and of Ireland, in condemna tion of this practice, so flippantly, and as a matter of course, stated by the Learned Gentleman. I know some young and inex perienced attorneys have suggested to me, and the parties have sometimes urged me to see their witnesses. But I have always rejected the proposal with scorn and contempt. The condemna tion of this murder does not rest on their assertions or appeals. It was a pract ce repudiated in this . House in the strongest terms in the vcar 1116. On the 10th of February, in that year, Lord Archibald Hamilton brought forward a charge against the admi nistration of justice in Scotland. Amongst the rest this very topic arose—time examination of witnesses out of Court, He quoted a strong and emphatic expression of the then Attorney- General, Sir Samuel Shepperd. Here arq the words—(Mr. O'Connell took up the parliamentary debates and read)—namely " that God forbid he ; ox any one officially connected with him, should have any intercourse with a witness in a case of public justice."—(Much cheering.)—The Attorney- General replied, but he did not deny the accuracy of the quotation. • He only qualified the assertion thus—His words, as reported are, " he had not said lie never communicated with witnesses. He only said he never communicated per_. sonally with them," Here there is the testimony of the Atter nev-Gemeral for England at that time disavowing with his so leMnity of an oath, any such personal communication as time Solicitor-General for Ireland avows he had with witnesses for three days. I stand on this fact, It is atone sufficient to sus , taro me. Here is an avowed mal:praetieC, Let use get the do cuments I ask for. Give me th,e authentic documents I require, and I again pledge myself to establish every word of the charge I have made' agamst the Hon. Gentleman.—(Loud cheering.)— The charge I made plain and explicit. It is that being in pos. session of evidence, to show his principal witness forsworn, he persevered in the trial, and sought conviction through the in strumentality of that witness.—(Cheers.)—This is a serious charge. He felt it so. Night after night did he taunt me on this subject. He was ever ready to meet this charge, and the House cheered him—and what is, the state we arc in at present Why it is just this—she prudent'' , shelters himself from my charge by refusing me the legal evidence which could sustain it. —(Loud and continued cheering.)—What has been his defence ? Why he has mixed up the Sub-letting Act and time Borris-o'- kane trials with dinner speeches and toasts, every one of which I avow, with this one topic, with this single accusatiOn• I Will not follow him at present through his three hours of all Manner of subjects, and by courting English prejudices. I care not for those prejudices—l come to the meat question. It is this. Am I to get the proofs et* not ?—(Hear.)—Those proofs have never been under my eontroul. They are incapable of being alteavel or in fluenced by me. I cannot prove my case without them. With them I pledge myself to prove my case. (Cheers.) Was there ever since the world began, such a state of facts as this? I charge the Solicitor, General with !laving produced a witness, who on timetable swore to a case utterly inconsistent with a deposition or oath made by him two days only after the alleged fact—with having this de position in his (the Solicitor-General's) possession, and yet that lie went on and procured one conviction, and sought others on y h ei i t tp s a so :m bs g ie a t i man's evidence. bwc t l ia m ,hi l a s erntg n ec i t: a ht— n ier n ' ( s dHoe t nep oeyas testimony, i t n lki la s s y hr, s ; dit: i : s ot, ,te m et: oncc rleintia ow evidence. I confute him by showing that there was a cons iction uittal of produced, He denies that the deposition contradicted the ver was decisive of an acquittal.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Here he and his Noble Friend were at variance—he admits that there is a discrepancy—the Noble Lord says there is none at all, Let them reconcile that discrepancy between them as they can. I contradict both,l call for the Judge's notes, which will .hew what this fellow swore at thetrial—l call for the deposition which will show what he swore immediately after time transaction—and this reasonable request—this collyinoing proof I ask for. It is refused me. The Noble Lord puts it over his dignity. He is too dignified to give me the evidence.—s(A laugh.) The Learned Solicitor tint it on no tangible ground, but relies on English pre. judiee to refuse me what he knows would easabilsh his offence. He has sagacity enough to know the of eet of the evidence were it produced. The dignity of the Noble Lord is only equal to the instructive sagacity of the Learned Gentleman. I repeat it, that after all his taunts, his challenges, his goadings oa, it comes just comes to this—he owes his safety to the suppression of the evi de„,,—,(cheering.) Here, Omen, is my full and omplete tri , If I get the evidence I establish his guilt. If I am re fused the evidence, I obtain the inevitable c onc l us i on, that the evidence is withheld because it would certainly establish his guilt.—(Great cheering for several minutes.)

Several fresh names have been added to the list of sub scribers to the fund and stakes opened for the improvement of our races, and the committee are exerting them selves with a spirit which is singularly opposed to the apa thy that has prevailed for the last three or fdtir years. Great things are promised. The betting men are so pletely divided at present, that little or nothing has been done in the St. Leger, nor have there been any changes worth noting, except in The Cardinal and his G rare t h e Duke of Leeds's horses; the f.tmer is a very smart nag, and will take more beating than many are aware .f: he has won his races in an exceedingly neat clever style: the, latter are out of favour, as well from their ranking as from a report that the stable is amiss altogether.

MEC& Lt. 20 to I agst Mr. R. Shepherd's The Carf,hual 20 to 1 agst Mr. Bidders Emancipator We yesterday published an official statement re'ative to the vacant land in Upper Canada, from which it appears that in that province alone there are, besides cost tracts held by absentees, no less than seven millions five hundred thousand acres, lying in a state of unptofit able waste. The Canadas possess, perhaps, the hea'thiett climate in the world. So high en opinion, indeed, have military men of the climate, that they consider nothing so calculated to mar promotion in a regiment as being sent to Canada, inasmuch as it is a common remat k that " people never die viere." Notwithstanding these advantages, however, few emigrants, till lately, bent their course to Canada. Even now the United States appear to attract the great majority of the emigrants to North America, though it is a well-known fact, that many of the Anieri eans thentseives are in the habit of leaving their own country to settle in Upper Canada. We cannot help think inz, that Vie English Government is much to blamt in ti ,t holding out grelter inducements to per. or , s to m i 3rato to our own colonies.—Mcrning firma
