LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1844. The present aspect of parties in Ireland is the most grotesque and eccentric it is possible to conceive. All is chaos and bewilderment—doubt—stupeeaction— mingled hope and despondency. No one appears to know himself, but to entertain a sort of hazy, im perfect consciousness that he is somebody else. A few years ago two Irishmen met on Westminster-bridge. " How d'ye do, Flannaghan ?" said the one; " pretty well, I thank you, Mahoney," replied the other " My name's nut Mahoney !" rejoined the former. " And my name's not Flannaghan," retorted the latter. " So we looked at each other," adds the narrator of the anecdote, " and we found it was neither of us !" Now we strongly suspect that if, at the present crisis, an Orangeman were to meet a Repealer in Dublin or elsewhere, and each were to look at the other, each would have occasion to exclaim with his countryman on the bridge, " we found it was neither of us." The former, on being saluted as an Orangeman, would, most likely, protest that he was no longer a strict Orangeman, but was something else—what, he did not exactly know ; while the latter, equally at a loss for a definite answer, would say that he was not a Repealer, but, to the best of his belief, he was a Federalist, or something of that sort! While thus parties are in such a state of glorious con fusion that no one knows what he is, or what system of Irish policy he may be induced to advocate six months hence, forth steps Mr. Salmi O'BRIEN to increase the general perplexity by these extraordinary remarks. " I care not by what name a fellow-countryman may denote himself. Let him cling to the designation, ill-omened though it be, of Orangeman. Let him adopt the new and undefined appellative of Federalist. If he love Ire land—if he labour to promote its welfare—if he cherish its glory as he prizes his own personal honour —that man is our brother. His interests and ours are the same—n common success will reward our united efforts. I sincerely feel that nothing is re quired except internal union." It would appear from the above passage that Ireland's welfare may be promoted by the Orangemen equally as well as by the Federalists—that, in fact, there is no earthly difference between them except as regards mere name, and that, therefore, they are bound to combine their energies in support of their common country. But what are they to combine for? Is it for Federalism ?—is it for Repeal ?—or is it for a restoration of the old Protestant ascendancy system ? lhe Orangeman, if he still calls himself an Orangeman—to which, by the bye, Mr. O'BRIEN has not the slightest objection—will scarcely agitate . for the two former crotchets ; while the Repealer si ill scarcely struggle to revive the days of the SAURINS, the NORRURYS, the LEFROYS, &C. ! What then, we re peat, are th ey to combine for ? This is a question more easily asked than answered. At any rate we, who are DAVIIS, not CEDIMU S can strenuous no satisfactory h reply , to it. Mr. O'BRIEN ' S ' e e x ffec o t rta f tio h n . s to union increases not a little the rich s of union,is re marks. What possible chance can there be ° when Mr. O'CornvELL has just sown the seeds of dis sension among the Repealers by introducing his half way project of Federalism, and split them into two distinct factions, each of whom in a short time will begin to regard the other with the same placid feelings of charity with which a High-Church Bishop regards a stiff-necked Dissenter ? What chance can there be of union, when the Protestant party are all at sixes and sevens—one portion of them calling themselves Orangemen, another rejoicing in the title of Conservatives, and both agreeing in nothing but their hatred of Repeal and their distrust of Federalism ? When oil lovingly amalgamates with vinegar—when the Bishop of LONDON hob-a-nobs with Mr. Fox, the Unitarian, at Fulham Palace—when Dr. PHILLPOTTS ceases to bewail the loss of his rich Rectory of Stan hope when these impossibilities shall come to pass, then—but not till then—we will be lieve that there will be a union among all parties in Ireland for the furtherance of the cause of Repeal ! We grant that of late the Orange men have evinced more moderation and liberality of sentiment than is usual with them, and that the Re realers, in the hope of bringing them fully round to their own views, are administering to them " soft solder" in pretty copious doses ; still, for all this, there is less chance of a real, hearty union among parties than ever ; and we will add, too, that so far from advancing, the question of a Repeal of the Union has been daily retrograding for the last three months and upwards, and will not survive a year longer—except as the mere clamour of a small faction—if Sir R. PEEL will only make up his mind to come forward with such remedial measures for Ireland as she has a right to anticipate from the Imperial Government. It is not without great regret that we feel our selves again compelled to advert to a subject which unhappily supplies but too frequent a text for cen sure and disgust. The treatment of the poor of this country is a matter to which it is idle for some fas tidious and short-sighted persons to complain that the Press is in the habit of devoting too large a share of its attention. There is no question lying so closely at the very root of our domestic prosperity. There is no principle of decay which, if not eradicated, or at least reduced and controlled in time, can operate more certainly or awfully to the destruction of the magnificent social edifice that free and equal institu tions have been the chief agents in erecting. By these its bases have been laid and consolidated. Our vast commercial opulence has but extended and enriched the superstructure, and if still further to beautify and protect this latter we diminish the supports which have been provided for the poor—in the original Ulan of the fabric, and the additions subsequently made to it—we diminish in proportion the stability -ind safety of the whole work. Now, the tendency of all our modern legislation, and the administration of magisterial justice, too palpably incline to the vindication of the rights of property, and the protec tion of wealth at a large sacrifice of that tenderness Ind sympathy for the position, the privations, the feelings, and, above all, the personal liberty of the poor, which a more humane, and therefore en lightened policy, would studiously manifest on all )ccasions. In our paper of Tuesday evening we gave reports ,f two cases in which this habitual disregard of the reelings and position of the poor was remarkably ex emplified. They furnished a fitting pendant to those examples of Game-law good sense and humanity to which we have so recently directed public attention. On Monday last the Coroner for Middlesex held an nquest on the body of the poor man who had long ,ccupied a small cobbler's shop at the corner of South Molton-lane, Davies-street, where, after having car ied on the business in former years, on a large scale, of a boot and shoemaker, he earned, in the decline of his life, a precarious but honest subsistence. Here, inhappily, he had fallen into arrear for a few weeks' 'ent, for which his landlord, some Whitechapel broker, on one day last week came to distrain. If he report is to be relied on, the broker must have 4een a ruffianly specimen even of his discreditable fraternity. "He not only took what small amount of goods the deceased had, but actually tore his apron off from him, took his tools, and even the job he was at work upon out of his hands, and his spec tacles from his face. This broker also took away his 'oat, but subsequently returned it, on the deceased consenting to give up the key." The sequel is soon told. Stung to madness by the illegal and brutal violence and cruelty of the broker, the poor, broken !own tradesman, who had borne up manfully tgainst all the previous reverses which had ensued upon his "better days "—brooded for a whole day o►er this last overwhelming calamity, and—hanged himself! We fear this case is but one of a class. We desire o know how it is that the authorities in whom such appointments are, conceive themselves justified in ranting licenses liable to such extensive and in .olerable abuses, to men of a class in society so generally degraded both in character and calling as lese brokers ? Thciy are the " obscene harpies" of he most dirty and noisome purlieus of the law, in is worst perversions from the guardianship of right uid justice to the perpetration of all violence and 'raud. If the rich were to have been the probable ►hjects of the attentions of these distraining brokers, .loes any man suppose that legislation would not have provided much more ample grounds and securi ties for the protection of their property and rights, )y committing such powers to very different hands nrom those which are trusted with the right of tearing the poor ?" Mr. WAKLEY recommended the son of the deceased to bring his action against the man SKINNER, who had distrained on his father. llas! what are the probabilities that this action can he sustained by the son or his friends, in the absence of funds for such a purpose ? At the last Special Session of the Justices of the Bromley Division, a number of the most destitute of rate-payers were charged with the offence of not having paid up their rates, amounting, respectively, to 35., 45., 55., and 6s. In all these cases, the parties, -ome aged and infirm women, who had previously p lid for many years rates and taxes, were directed to be proceeded against by distress warrant, although the appeals they made are grounded on facts esta blishing, most irresistibly, their utter destitution and misery. Some are reproved for being householders, a% a rate of 61. or 71., since their rates were in arrear. Others were charitably told by the Magistrates that they had no business" to be living in such expensive tenements as these little arrears had accumulated upon. In all the cases, there was but one deci ei,ion—" pay in so many days, or a distress warrant must issue against you, and you will be sold up." Now, really, if gentlemen who sit at special sessions would but reflect on the amount of misery which has preceded the fact of the arrears, and the incalculable ad.litional misery these ready and prompt issues of warrants inflict, they would not only pause in their decisions, but, out of hand, as large landed proprietors, discharge, for the more frugal and deserving, the amount of their claim upon them. What does the parish or district gain by proceeding against these unfortunates ? If their goods yield anything, they barely pay the costs. If nothing, costs are incurred which the rate-payers generally are burdened with in addition to their rates. Besides, the cost of a vane or belfry to one of the huge union poor-houses would well defray the whole aggregate of these petty but ii4ressing remedies. When will property be taught the wisdom of liberality, even beyond the mere letter of the law. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received. Preparations were in progress for the trial of PRIM • he had on the 29th been committed to th e b arrac k s o f the Body Guard and confined in the tower. The trial was expected to commence on the 2d inst. Ge neral SHELLY, assisted by two barristers, named SIVRENT and MORENO, were to conduct the defence. The Chamber of Deputies on the 30th resumed the discussion on the Address. After a speech from Senor DIAs against the Ministerial plan of reform, the Minister of the Interior announced his intention of retiring from office if the proposed Bill should be rejected. The Moderado party, he said, did not wish to destroy the Constitution but merely to improve it. Reform was necessary, because the Constitution con tained dangerous principles, such as that of the sove reignty of the people, which was absurd and imprac ticable. It was time to establish the Constitution on positive principles ; and so general was the wish of the nation in that respect, that in most of the elec toral colleges the candidates for the Deputation and Senate had been obliged to pledge themselves to vote forks reform. Barcelona papers of the 30th ult. announce the arrest of Brigadier DE CELLS, in consequence of an order f rom M adrid. They state, also, that four of the individual s arrested on the 27th had been tried and sentenced to death, and ordered for execution FLANDERS MAIL. within twenty-four hours. I BRUSSELS, Nov. 4.—The Chamber of Represen- On the Madrid Bourse the Funds continued firm, tatives met to-day. It voted definitively, by a ma the Three per Cents. being done at 27i for cash, and jority of 43 to 9, the project of law relative to the 28 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 settlement and relief of the poor. It then resumed days ; the Floating Debt at 65i at 60 days ; the I, the general debate on the project of law relative to the Coupons at 261 for cash; and the Debt without In- augmentation of the salaries of the members of the terest at 61 at 60 days. The Paris papers still continue to give long ex tracts of letters from Madrid, with comments on the late pretended conspiracy, and all the writers who speak conscientiously declare that the affair at Madrid as well as that at Barcelona, were plots formed, not by the discontented people, but by the Government _ _ itself. The Constitutionnel states that PRIM does not deny the share he has taken in endeavouring to get up an opposition to the plan for destroying the Con stitution, but to call that a plot or conspiracy is an utter perversion of terms. He and his party are in favour of that Constitution to which almost every public man in Spain has sworn allegiance. The real conspirators are NARVAEZ, CHRISTINA, and Co. "It was reported yesterday," says that journal, "at the Bourse that General PRIM had been shot. We have made inquiries on the subject, and it appears certain that nothing of the kind has been mentioned in the dispatches which have reached Paris. According to the intelligence communicated by the Government to the Spanish Legation, it appears that General PRIM is implicated, not in the plot formed against NARVABZ, but.in a conspiracy to produce a pronunciainiento of all Spain against the Ministry. Amongst the papers seized at his residence was the copy of a letter written to one of the ex-Ministers of the REGENT, in which he expressed his regret at having contributed to the restoration of the Moderado party in his country. The reply was also found amongst his papers. It ap. pears that PRIM does not deny his participation in a new conspiracy, and that he declares he will always act in the same way against powers hostile to the Constitution." The Madrid correspondence of the National thus describes the mock conspiracy : magistracy. This debate turned chiefly on the ne cessity of suppressing, or of retaining, the 4th class of tribunals. No decision was come to, and the de bate was adjourned until to-morrow. At the commencement of the sitting, the Minister of Justice presented a project of law for establishing a new mode for the sanction and promulgation of the laws and royal degrees. King William 11. has just granted pensions to all the persons formerly employed in the care of his dominions in Belgium. From the directions to the iniividuals filling the lowest offices, all are to retain their salaries under the title of pensions. This act of royal munificence will enable the Government to fill up the vacancies. An amateur has just discovered, amongst the collection of a dealer in antiquities in this city, twenty-one copper plates, forming a gallery of portraits of Princes of the House of Nassau, be ginning with William I. and ending with William V., Prince of Orange. It comprehends, also, several other persons. The dates are from 1747 to 1755. These portraits are engraved after Mieveldt, by Tense Ilonbraken, and other artists of the school of Brunswick. Above each portrait there is an episode of the life of the person represented. The plates are in a perfect state of preservation, and the engravings are of the greatest beauty.

There are in all this history details so clumsy, such a shocking want of consistency, that no person can be longer deceived by it. It will be always easy to the head of a police to find in a great city instruments for the most perverse designs, and if Signor Aviraneta should take it into his head to get up an infernal machine, he will only have to search his pocket to pull out the plan and its mode of execution. Narvaez turns the incident to account with the greatest eagerness, and as if the grand conspiracy was not suffi cient for him, he employs his agents in the Cortes to operate on the timid Deputies, who were disposed to op pose the project of reform. Signor Quinto, Director- General of the Post-office, has been saluted as the prin cipal agent in this wretched farce. He declared at first that he was opposed to the destruction of the Constitu tion, and then gave in his resignation, that he might, he said, have more liberty of action. To-day, in address• ing the Ministers on the pretended attempt of assassina tion, he gave vent to protestations of devotedness, and indulged in violent declamations against the revolu tionists! It follows, of course, thanks to the terror• disseminated in the Cortes, that the destruction of the Constitution will pass by a large majority. In terror Narvae: is suite a prodigal, and I know positively that some Deputies, imbued with a little fancy of opposition, have received anonymous letters, containing the most frightfnl threats._That means were not required to make the cowards give way. Public opinion in Madrid and the provinces is becoming more excited from day to day at the sight of what passes already, and at the prospect of what is being prepared. What will happen after the Cortes shall have sanctioned the ruin of the Constitu tion ? What will happen if Prim be shot, as the mad men announce openly? It is always a perilous matter to prophecy, particularly respecting Spain, where two and two do not make four." —Brussels Papers. Nov. 5. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—Artembra, Om 30. Five per Cents.

SEGUIEB, President of the Cour Royale. At the meeting of the Court, on the 4th, the Procureur-Generil, after alluding to the unfortunate differences which had caused such confusion, expressed a hope that all parties would show a conciliatory spirit, and give each other mutual assistance in the difficult duties falling to the lot of each of them. The President SE.• OUIJER said a few words in reply, in which he ex pressed his great respect for the bar, and the pleasure it gave him that they should again meet in unison, and determined, as magistrates and counsel, to labour in their several vocations for the service of the KING and the good of the people. This was considered satisfactory; and the bar, after a brief consultation, resumed their labours. The following is the latest intelligence from the army in Algeria the 27th Marshal Bugeaud proceeded to the Tleta of 4e Flissas-el-Bahar, on the spot where the affair took place.with General Coueman. The Flissas did not wait for our troups, but abandoned all the villages, taking with them their wives, children, and flocks, but leaving all their corn and provisions. The village of Tezerara was taken, and immense quantities of corn and dried figs were found there. The Flissas-el-Bahar are terri fied ; they have sent to the Marshal as a flag of truce a cadi of the Isser, who resides with them. On the 28th the Marshal left for the neighbouring mountains, on the side of Beni Djanad. An engagement took place bet • n the column which he commands and 3,000 to 4,06 •a byles. The enemy were placed in a strong positio , .ut they were attacked with so much spirit and energy that they soon gavo way, and were pursued to a distance of four leagues from the field of battle. They lost a great number of men, but we had only eight or ten put hors de combat. The Flissas-el-Bahar took no part in the con flict, and came on the 29th and offered their full and un conditional submission. It is to be presumed that the Beni Djenads will do the same."

No oppo sition was offered by any person, and the Crown acquiesced in the extension. Their Lordship , . granted an extension of the patent for the term of fourt"At ,years. Sir Robert Peel is expected to return to town to. day from Brighton, and on Saturday will dine at Guildhall. ARRIVAL OF SIR WM. PARKER.—The Cornwallis, 72, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, K.C.B. (blue at the fore), Capt. 11. Richards, arrived at Spithead on the 4th instant. Sir Wm. Parker landed at noon on the following day, and paid his respects to the Commander-in-Chief. Sir William is looking well. He arrived in London on Tuesday. The Cornwallis had a long passage home from the Cape, and experienced very heavy weather in the Channel, with foul winds. She left the Cape the 31st of August, having been there eight days. ELOPEMENT.—On Sunday morning last, the neigh bourhood of Exe Bridge was thrown into a state of ex citement, in consequence of the early :nd unexpected departure from the home of his parents of a youth six teen years of age, of respectable connexions. Intelli gence so on reac h e d the ears of his mother that he had eloped with a lady, somewhat on the wrong side of thirty, said friends e,osno. t dtl o ah: b oea e f. nhddoeßrm sou not t i t td l h e ehe d aarpc Gpeo uenr a oesbwre h dTga u hdehewo n , f d i trphterrdiemoe poor r l do e miles Charlotte. ihn'roaeonrvml never trt ht S eed t . ds : Ter a nhu r ten - , a inr i foundedtehdy bonds otrnadn t s h s io a t that t thewedlock. eod lt o L c a rkdyy.

A somewhat curious incident, in the way of sending letters at sea in bottles, occurred lately. On the 4th inst. a letter was received at the Admiralty, inclosing a paper which had been washed ashore in a bottle at Berry Head, Brixham, and picked up by a man belonging to the Coast Guard on the 3d inst. This paper was as fol lows :—" Bound to England from China and the Cape of Good Hope, her Majesty's ship Cornwallis, off Portland Bill, bearing S.E. by S. seven miles, blowing fresh, Nov. 1." No advice had been received at the Admiralty of the arrival of the Cornwallis when the foregoing paper came to hand, and it was not for three hours afterwards that the above ship was telegraphed on running into Spithead. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER B, 184;. DUTCH MAIL. TIM HAGUE, Nov. s.—ln the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States• General, on Monday, the 4th, a royal message was received with a project of law relative to the excise on salt. In the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day, the Committee of petitioners made, through M. Tetting, a detailed report on a very great number of petitions, all relating to the proposed tariff of import, export, and transit duties. The report was ordered to be printed, and all the petitions to be laid on the table. A report was then made by the same Com mittee on many petitions of a different kind.

BERLIN, OCT. 31 —Mensen Ernst, the celebrated Norwegian pedestrian traveller, who, according to many journals, died on a journey in search for the resources of the Nile, and was buried near the cataracts, is come to life again. According to the Journal of Aix-la-Chapelle, he has lately arrived in India, and has performed the journey from Constantinople to Calcutta and back on foot in fifty days.

His Lordship reached Winehcomb on Wednesday-, on his way to Southam, his seat, near Cheltenham. He was received by the yeomanry and people of the neighbourhood, and an address was presented to him by the corporation, congratulating his Lordship on his return from India, and paying a high compliment to his exertions for the relief of the poor in that dis trict. His Lordship made the following reply, which would do honour to " Young England": " Gentlemen,—lt is extremely gratifying to me to receive from you these kind congratulations on my return home. " I shall have great pleasure in renewing my friendly acquaintanc with you all, and in co-ope rating with you in measures for assisting our poorer neighbours in their honest endeavours to maintain their families in independence and in comfort. " In this favoured district we have before us the bright example of the poor themselves, in their con stant kindness towards each other. "In our intercourse with them we become ac quainted with some of the most respectable of men ; and the future must bear no resemblance to the past, if we encounter a single instance of ingratitude. On the contrary, whatever we do will be estimated by theta beyond its merits. Thus encouraged we will proceed in our accus tomed course, and endeavour to draw still closer the bonds of mutual good-will which happily here unite the proprietor, the tenant, and the labourer." SCOTCH MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS EDINBURGH.—The municipal elections for this city took place on Tuesday, but there being at present no subject of general or local interest under discussion calculated to divide public opinion, the occasion comparative qui e t. Th ere were , never keen contests in thr e e of th e wards, but, turning'ss they did on p o i nts o f persona l pre - P t ti l e s lse passed s , " p pre ference rather , than on politics, the interest was chiefly confined to the parties more immediately con cerned. The Council will now consist of twenty seven Liberals and six Tories. As Churchmen and Dissenters, the numbers will probably stand thus : Dissenters, 24; Churchmen, 9. LEITH.—The elections went off very quietly, there being contests in only two wards, and these not upon political grounds. The candidates were all Liberals. GLASGOW.—The elections have terminated in the return of ten Liberals, not a single Conservative having ventured to come forward. This absence of any attempt at opposition is seemingly owing to the lukewarmness of the Conservatives, consequent on their mistrust of Sir R. Peel's policy. Party-spirit, however, has very much abated in this quarter of late from various causes, and the polling which took place to-day excited little of the interest which usually accompanies a contested election. Lord Colvill has left London for his seat at Cleish. Lady Colvill passes the winter at Ochiltree, and visits Baden in the spring. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived from Germany late on Monday night, and yesterday went to Brocket-hall, on a visit to Viscount Melbourne. Lord and Lady Beauvale and Viscountess Jocelyn are staying at Brocket-hall. The Great Britain steam-ship will make one or two experimental trips down Channel, and then proceed to London, THE NELSON DISPATCHES AND LETTERS.—In answer to the numerous inquiries on the subject. we are requested by Mr. Cclburn to state that the Second Volume of this work will appear early in January next. MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " YOUNG LOVE." —" Young Love!—a more fascinating title for a novel could not, by any possible chance, have been hit upon, nor, in the hand of a practised writer like Mrs. Trollope —acquainted, as she is, with all the working: of the human passions, physically and morally, on different constituted minds—could it prove otherwise than rich, and varied, and startling in its development. The work abounds with the most keen and caustic satire. Amongst the characters may be particularly mentioned two re markably amiable and good sort of people, Colonel and Mrs. Dermont, the " great ones" of the village, who never differ and quarrel upon any subject, and, con amore, unite their forces to spoil their only son and heir, Alfred, the hero of the tale, whom they regard as the most beautiful and wonderful of God's creatures. The heroine, -kmf.lia Thorwold, is a magnificent, full-blown, aristocratic beauty—a perfect mistress of all the arts of deception, and a vindictive plotter in the bargain. Con trasted with her is the gentle, yet acute and intelligent Julia Drummond, the ward of Colonel Dermont, h ar a . n d t: the fellow pupil of Alfred. There is also an obstre porous old maid, Celestina Marsh, passionately, vio lently, furiously in love with every young man she meets. And then, besides numerous others, is a Mrs. Stephens, a young married woman of forty—rich some, intellectual, literary, philosophical, and Yank, =e bitten, who has converted (or, as Scrub, in the play, would say, perverted) her youthful husband, a clergy man of the Church of England, to Unitarianism. Nor must her friend Mr. Hollingsworth, pork-butcher, tripe and wine -merchant, &c., an American of great literary endowments, just arrived from the United unning States,' onbe passed un no ti ce d.

In accordance with the Act of last session, the carriages are enclosed from the weather by wooden slides ; and the fare is only one penny per mile.

It is assumed that by far the larger proportion will be subscribed for by capitalists in the City, and when it is recollected now much money is required for deposits upon new rail way projects, it may be anticipated that the rate of inte rest will advance. It cannot be possible, howerv, that a statement which has been current is founded in truth, that the instalments upon this large loan are to be paid up in three months. Any such sti pulation would tend to throw immense difficulties in the way of a successful bidding for the contract, and occasion too sudden a remission of money to Paris, by which the interests of those who may subscribe for it must be much damaged. It is understood that the firm of Messrs. Rothschild will tender for the whole amount, although we hear that another firm has entered the field for at least a portion of it, if any division is made. The arrivals from the Colonies to-day do not supply us with any news later in point of date than we have be fore obtained.
