t-) the Irish people—to persevere—(Cheers ; We will.") It was a time to gain golden opinions, and his absence would be painful if he thought they would relax. They had much to contend against—misstate ments and lies. The Globe, for instance, denied that the rebellion of '9B was fostered by Government in order to effect the union more easily.—(Cheers.) He had five witnesses to that fact—Lord Plunkett, Burke, Saurin, Scott, Lord Clonmel, and the fact that Colonel Maquare was in communication for eleven months previously with the Government, and that they knew the abode of every colonel and cap tain all the time. They had fanned discontent into rebellion ; the men of Wexford nearly turned rebellion into a revolution.—(Loud cheers.) The Irish people were content that their own Church should be supported on the voluntary principle. They had never been guilty of persecution. They had been three times in power since the Reformation, and if a single instance could be shown in which they perse cuted Protestants, he would give up the repeal agita tion for ever. There were but two countries in Eu rope in which persecution \Nag enforced by law, and neither were Catholic countries. A statement had been made at a recent religious meeting at Glasgow, that a woman had been persecuted in the island of Madeira for leaving the Catholic faith, but on inquiry it was found to be an utterly unfounded rumour. — (Cheers.) In Se eden, a Protestant country, an emi nent artist was recently banished for life for having become a Catholic, but nothing of that nature was witnessed in Catholic countries. There could be no danger, were it even otherwise, of the Catholics per- secuting in Ireland, for there would be ninety-nine out of a hundred of the Irish House of Peers Pro testants, and he was convinced that more than half of an Irish House of Commons would belong to the same persuasion. After again expressiong his hope that during his brief absence in the country the business of thesAssociation would be carried on with as much order and energy as if he had continued present, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman concluded by re minding them that it was by perseverance and order they could alone expect to succeed, and to see their country again what they all desired her to be, and what nature intended she should be— " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, first gem of the sea" The Hon. Mr. HUTCHINSON bore testimony to the observations of Mr. O'Connell with regard to the Trish rebellion. That rebellion, if not planned, was ttleast fostered by the English Government, and he ould state this fact on the authority of his father and .ncle, Lord Hutchinson.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STEELE handed in a sum of money, and said ne would take that opportunity of cautioning the executive against receiving reports of meetings fur nished by policemen and such characters, which could not by any possibility be correct. If the Government wished for reports let them employ gentlemen, such as his friend Mr. Hodge (the Government reporter), to whose accuracy and fidelity he could bear the strongest testimony.—(Hear, hear.) After some further business had been disposed of, Mr. O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be 6001. 12s. 6d.—The meeting then Adjourned. TRICKS IN THE JURY LIST. Mr. Mahony (whose letter to the clerks of the peace for the city of Dublin appeared in the Sun last week) has determined to commence legal proceedings against the majority of the cess-collectors, who failed to make a return of the qualified jurors within the time prescribed by law, and against all the collectors, for nou-compliance with the provision of the Jury Act, which directs that the lists should be printed and published in the various parishes previous to the re turns being placed in the custody of the clerks of the peace. POLICE INQUIRY AT DUBLIN CASTLE. This day, Mr. Corballis, Q.C., having been pre viously sworn in at the head police-office, as a magis trate for the city of Dublin, commenced the inquiry ordered by the Lord-Lieutenant, resp?cting the charges brought against members of the constabulary force at Shinrone, King's County. Copies of the charges were f ur ni s h e d t o the accused, by direction of Mr. Corbellis. The inquiry proceeds slowly, as the questions and the answers of the witnesses are taken down. The court is open to the public. THE CHURCH IN IRELAND. Mr. James Grattan, late Member for the county of Wicklow, has published the following remarkable statement in the Dublin Evening Post : " Tennehinch, Sept. 23, 1844. "Dear Sir,—As lam about to leave Ireland, I take the liberty of inclosing a letter to you, written some time ago, and which it may be useful to publish. I do so because it is of public interest, and it may be served by publicity in a country where an eminent judge, Lord Redesdale, said he found one law for the rich and an other for the poor, and both equally ill-admistered. " I am your obliged, &c., "J. GRATTAN." " Tennehinch, August 30, 1844. "' My dear Sir,—l have, on more than one occasion, considered it to be my duty to call the attention of the Archbishop of Dublin to the fact that, for some years past (and while the Rev. Robert Daly, now Bishop of Cashel, was incumbent), the right of way, which had always existed, to the parish church of Powerscourt hal been stopped, as also all public access to the church-yard in the parish—thus connecting public with private pro perty, to the prejudice of the parishioners. The right of the church is utterly at variance, as it seems to me, with the law of the land and the usage, even in this unfortu nate country. " I beg leave now to make to you that suggestion which I made to the Archbishop of Dublin—namely, that a legal opinion of eminence be taken on these pro ceedings, and that you act under it. To you, I under stand,is very happily entrusted the care and the manage ment of this place and property ; it will be for you to decide whether the parishioners and tithe-payers have not a right to that which they always enjoyed, free and public access, at all times, to the church supported by their contributions—or whether it may be more expe dient to consider the present church in the light of pri vate property, as it has of late years been considered by the proceedings alluded to, and to apply to Parliament for an Act to remove the public place of worship to some other site, where we may find, as we do on the Continent, that the house of God has something more attractive than stone walls and iron palings. A com plaint similar to this is made by other parishioners— who are -obstructed in their right of way to their chapels and to other places where their business calls them. I have to apologise for troubling you with this letter ; the matter being a public not a private concern, it was in tended fur the public press, but the high respect which I bear to you personally induces me, in the first in stance, to submit it to you, and to avail myself of the opportunity it offers of assuring you of the consideration and regard with which I am yours, &c., " J. GRATTAN. " ' To the Hon. and Rev. William Wingfield.' " The Evening Mail of this evening publishes the following :-- " TO TILE DISPERSED PROTESTANTS IN THE SOUTH AND WEST OF IRELAND. " Brethren—ln these evil times, as I have seen some faint hearts amongst you, and know of more, permit one of the dispersed of your body respectfully to give you a few words of counsel, and not to count it to him for pre sumption. " The Snake has thrown a new lure—a Federal Par liament—whether the infatuated Mr. Hutchinson it was who started the hare, or the Snake himself, no matter— the viper has adopted it as his own. Does it require anything beyond common sense to discern that, as far as the Father of Lies is concerned, he only wants that toy well packed with Popish influence and craft to blow up a quarrel between it and the Imperial Parliament on any invented pretence, and then to arrive at his darling Repa le ? "Surely, surely, no Protestant awake will heed him. It may be true that much of our business is mismanaged by English officials, who know little of our country and are backward to learn it, but these are only matters of detail ; the basis of the union is fraught with advantage even to excess for Ireland, and it is part and parcel of the plan of the agitators to shower inventions so thick into the House of Commons that there should be no time for Ministers to effect business ; but were the country once at peace within herself, the Scorpion crushed, and his Riverend coadjutors put on their good behaviour, the prosperity of Ireland would know no bounds. " It is true, we have at present the hideous deformity in the heart of the country of a band of infuriated de mocrats, consuming her bowels, inviting adherence and co-operation, threatening massacre, and thirsting for blood; for what else means their phraseology of Ireland biding her time ?' The bait of plunder flung out to the peasant must have had its influence ; for, by true Jesuit finesse, he is perpetually urged to put into the raffle, that he may be eager for the day of drawing ; yet the poor people are not ill.disposed, if let alone, and the proof is, that it is thought indispensable not to relax for one moment the stimulant of sedition upon them. All this is true, wofully true ; and as it constitutes a govern ment within the Government, having the torch and the stiletto for its device, it may make some honest hearts to quail. But, Protestants, remember yea are hated be cause you hold the Bible. It all resolves itself into this. The Bible and the right of private judg ment i n religion it is which renders Popish priests superfluous lumber-- that it is translated into every known language for cir culation, by Saxon aid, maddens them to fury —now that they blindly suppose they have only a short time to wait to sacrifice your Church, which has taught you to know what they are, and what they are not. " You cannot have forgotten the Pope's circular, dated from Rome on the 4th of May last, addressed to his worshippers in Italy, denouncing the New York Bible Society. He tells them plump that reading the Holy Scriptures in the vulgar tongue leads to certain perdi tion, and forbids what the Saviour enjoined. If this be not the beast drawn in the Revelations, God has given us our reason to betray us. This circular was published in all the papers. So, Protestants, take your line. Waver not. Have no fellowship with their principles. I was once an emancipator myself—a conciliator—and now am well reviled as a dupe and worse. Observe the return which the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel daily get for having brought forward the Emanci pation Act, and mind, this is not the exception, but the rule. What folly then it is to hope that the sense of shame will associate some of the more respectable per sons of the Romanist ;ersuasion to denounce the agita tors ! They don't come forward, at least I know of but one or two that have, and they are well scoffed and spi at by the demon for their honesty. 13e not seduced by any of his baits. Hold aloof to the last. It is the trial of your faith. Let every Protestant say to himself, If I was the only one left I never would unite with them.' Nail the Bible and the Union Jack together to your heart. Have something in your hand also to make him repent who would approach with the rags of an Italian priest to defile either. The English Protestant people will yet consent to distinguish between the true and the false in Ireland. Our brethren of the north are alive to our sufferings ; nay, the English Dissenters, much as they may dislike the monarchical principle and the Church, will yet, from a sense of shame, postpone their aversion to these elements in order to teach the turbulent Popish a g ents here that if they expect protection and security, they must at least let others enjoy it. Watch. Be firm. Be indifferent alike to their cajolery or their threats. Call to mind the words of the Psalmist—which cannot be found, by the bye, in the Popish Missal—' I was young, and now am old, and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken,' &c.—l am, brethren, your sincere well-wisher, " WESTMEATII. " Clonyn, Sept. 21, 1844." LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION. On Monday the Commissioners held their inquiry at Middleton, and examined several witnesses, includ ing Mr. 'Warren Hastings Jackson, Mr. Barry, a farmer, William Glesson and Richard Neill, tenants of Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Robert Barry, an extensive farmer. On Tuesday they proceeded to Macroom, where they examined Charles Colthurst, Esq., of Coachford, respecting some extensive improvements in waste lands made by that gentleman ; James Car negie, Esq., of Cork, an extensive land agent ; Wm.

O'Reardon, P.P.; William Allen, Esq., and Cornelius Ryan, farmer, nominated by the board of guardians. After the inquiry, they were sumptuously entertained at dinner by Edward Tier ney, Esq., the public-spirited proprietor of the Kan turk estate, who had a large party of the principal gentry of that part of the county of Cork to meet the Commissioners. On Friday they proceeded to King William's-town, the estate of the Crown, on the borders of Kerry County, where they minutely in spected the model farm and improvements, which have been for some years in progress, under the direction of Mr. Griffith. On Saturday they sat at Mallow. LATEST MANCH) MA CESAREWITI ESTER BETTING NCHESTER-TUESDAY.

ADDITIONAL BEACON BUOY ON THE SCAW REEF. Admiralty, Sept. 24, 1844. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to transmit to you herewith, for the information of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, a copy of a dispatch from the British Consul at Elsinore, reporting the establishment of an additi ona l Beacon Buoy on the Scaw Reef.—l am, Sir, &e., (Signed) JOHN BARROW. Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. (copy.) Elsinore, Sept. 12, 1844. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit to your Lordship herewith inclosed, a translation of a notice issued by the General Board of Customs and Trade at Copenhagen, dated the 10th instant, making known that an additional Beacon Buoy has been laid down at the S. E. extremity of the Scaw Reef, which will be out du ring the winter, and in case it should be carried away by the ice, it will be replaced by another as soon as circum , stances shall permit.—l have, &c. (Signed) HENRY GEORGE KUPEii. The Earl of Aberdeen, &c., &c., K.C. (TRANSLATION.) In order to mark the reef which projects from the point of the Scaw, a Bacon Buoy was some time bank laid down at its N.E. extremity, which lies in four and a half fathoms water, in the direction W. by S. of the Lighthouse and the Old Church Steeple, both in one line, and was furnished with three brooms. In addition to the foregoing, another Beacon Buoy has now been laid down at the S.E. extremity of the reef, in four fathoms water, the Lighthouse bearing W.N.s,y., and the old Skrugen Church Steeple W. This Beacon Buoy is provided with only two brooms, and will, in the same manner as the first-mentioned buoy, lie out during the winter ; and should it be carried away by the ice, it will be replaced by another as soon as circumstances may permit.

Sir,—l am directed by his Prussian Majesty's De partment for Foreign Affairs to acquant you that it is intended to erect on 13rusterort, a projecting point of land between Pellau and Memel, a revolving light of the second class, upon Fresnel's plan ; but as the building cannot be finished for some considerable time, it has been deemed necessary to renew the North Beacon at Bras terort, which was burned down in September, 1842, and to give the Sea Light there an improved construction. I beg to inclose you a translation of a notice to mari ners, which has been published in the Continental pa pers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant (Signed) B. HEBETER, Prussian Consul-General. Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secr( tart', Lloyd's. (copy.) The Sea Light exhibited on Bristerort has been im proved so as to show two fixed lights, the position and elevation being the same as the former, and visible in clear weather at a distance of about 24 German miles, within 101 degrees of the horizon, namely, from W. to N. by N.N.E. (query, if from W. to N. by E. round by North.) Both lights will be exhibited for the first time on the evening of the Ist of October, 1844, and kept burning from sunset to sunrise through the year. NEW LIFE-BOAT.—A new and extraordinary life- bo. is being built upon the diagonal principle, by the Patent Kamptulicon and Flooring Company, near Waterloo - bridge, the planks of which are composed of India rubber and ground cork. Its specific gravity is stated to be two-thirds lighter than oak, and from which it is believed the boat is incapable of being bilged or sunk. Her length 34 feet, and breadth 11 feet, is copper fastened, and pulls twelve oars; has two lugg sails, and steers with either a rudder or oar. The Belgian Government has directed three to be built for that coast. PAISLEY.—STATE or TRADE. -Trade still con tinues brisk, and all ha n d are employed.

To foreigners and those unacquainted with London, the plan, when adopted throughout the metropolis, must prove most beneficial. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY•LANE.

A Morning Contemporary observes that a notion is rapidly gaining ground among some of the Irish Repeal agitators, to the effect that Government are at the bottom of the present movement in favour of a Federal Parliament ; and that it is got up by way of a feeler to test the sincerity of the O'Connellites, by trying how far they might be prevailed on to yield in their demands for a domestic Legislature. " Although nothing," adds our Contemporary, " can be more preposterous than the bare supposition of such a ruse, its truth is so firmly impressed on the minds of several members of the town council, that it will possibly have the effect of decreasing the list of Dr. Maus- SELL'S supporters." Nothing, certainly, can well be more preposterous than a Ministerial ruse of this nature, for we cannot see one earthly object that is to be gained by it. It is impossible that a man so wary and even timid as Sir ROBERT PEEL, and one, too, who, from the tendencies of his mind, shrinks with fear and distrust from all violent constitutional changes; it is impossible, we say, that such a man can ever, even for an instant, meditate conceding a Federal Parliament to Ireland, in the hope of inducing her to forego her demand for an absolute, uncondi tional Repeal of the Union. He must know—no one better—that the minor concession is but a step to the major one—a point gained by the Repealers, and a point lost by the Government. Grant Federal ism, and from that moment the power to resist un qualified Repeal is nearly, if not quite, lost for ever. Mr. O'CoNDIELL must be well aware of this, other wise we are convinced that so acute and experienced a politician would never advocate so lame, halting, and imperfect a measure as a Federal Parliament. We call it a halting and imperfect measure, for what can be more so than the institution of a House of Commons which will be deprived of all power to legislate on a comprehensive scale, and will be com pelled to confine itself exclusively to matters of petty local details ? So far will the concession of a mea sure of this half-and-half character be from satisfying Ireland, that it will make her more clamorous and determined than ever in her demands for a Repeal of the Union. At first, no doubt she will be highly delighted at the idea of having wrested from the English Cabinet something like a Parliament of her own—a Parliament that she may pet and fondle and take liberties with, just as a child does with a new doll ; she will expect too, most probably, that it will do everything for her that she requires to be done; that it will pare down, if not altogether abolish, the re venues of the Protestant Establishment; shift the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the rich to those of the poor; put an effectual stop to absentee• ism ; draw the teeth and pare the claws of tyrannical landlords; put money in the wallet of every wander ing beggar, and enable him to live just as he pleases ; give every peasant a pig and a potato-field; and finally restore much of the lost rank and influence to the Catholic Church; all these requirements " Young Ireland," in the first ebullition of her joy and in the hour of her triumph, will expect to obtain at the hands of a Federal Parliament; but when, on its being set actually to work, she finds that its power is crippled ; and that it can furnish her with few remedies but such as are of minor importance ; when, in fact, she finds, notwithstanding all her agitation, that she has got rather the shadow than the substance of a Parliament, she will begin, first, to regard the legislative abortion with indifference, next with contempt, thirdly, with downright abhorrence ; and ultimately will insist on cashiering it, and renewing with an energy, ren dered fiercer from disappointment, her old demand for an unqualified Repeal of the Union ! The Chronicle, we see, speaking of Federalism, calls it " the semi-independence of Ireland !" " Semi independence !" This one word expresses, as fully as language can, the utterly unsatisfactory cha racter of such a measure. What nation, when once it had seriously embarked in the struggle for what it conceived to be its legislative freedom, was ever yet content with stopping short of the goal, and putting up with "semi-independence"-that is to say, with an independence that has nothing but the mere name to recommend it ? We can understand the demand for Repeal, much as we disapprove of it; but we cannot understand the demand for half-Repeal —alias Fede ralism—unless the smaller concession be regarded as the Precursor of the greater one. The approaching election of an Alderman of the Corporation of London to the distinguished and respon sible post of Lord Mayor of this great city, appears to demand from us a few.words of incidental commen tary. The importance of the position—the moral influence which the annual contest for its occupation may be considered to exercise on the character and conduct of those who are already, or may, in after life, become eligible for it ;—the distinction which its te nure, short-lived though it be, must be considered as conferring on the private demeanour and public in tegrity of its holder ;—these are trite topics that readily suggest themselves to every mind, and re quire no sort of elaboration at our hands. But in and thus readily sug gp r e o s t p e o d r , t otn is expedienta they a r that a t t r trite, application sh ou ld no t e or passion, or secret to the wrong ill b o e f w p ai e nl perverted e r nt individualerd b a y v n w p e r d e j purdheiascseetn Presenting himself to the notice of his fellow-citizens as a candidate for the office. There is no circumstance more remarkable about the pending canvass, if we may venture thus to designate it, for the Mayoralty, than the feeling of distrust, or the presumption of disqualification, which it is actively attempted to ex cite against Mr. Alderman Thomas WOOD—the senior Alderman—and therefore entitled, by the cus tom, at least, of the Corporation, to be elected into the civic chair. We crave the reader's attention to a report which we have given in another column, of certain proceedings at a recent meeting held at the Swan with Two Necks, of the friends of Mr. Alderman WOOD, assembled for the purpose of supporting his appeal on the present occasion. They seem very satisfactory. It will be remembered that, some years ago, the connexion which Mr. Alderman T. Noon had had the misfortune to form with a certain Joint-Stock Company, became a subject not only of legal pro ceedings in the Law Courts, but of angry and con flicting comment in the columns of some of our Contemporaries. It really appears to us that the animadversions which have, in this way, been heaped upon the Alderman's head are absolutely undeserved, judging of their amount and extent from the state ments put forward by those who oppose his election and impeach his eligibility. If we are right in thi s i m pression, it is our duty to endeavour to instil it into the minds of others : for, so long as the perversion of facts, and the prejudice thereby generated, which we have spoken of, are permitted to prevail—unrefuted because unexamined—so long is an individual of some mark and considerable ability ousted of the legi timate aim of an honourable ambition ; so long, indeed, are his character, his prospects, and his sta tion in society seriously compromised. Let us see what the sum of the charges against Mr. Alderman THOMAS WOOD really is. It is imputed to him, first, that he and the other Directors of the Talacre Iron Company appropriated to their own use a large number of shares, as fully paid up, without advancing the money for the calls thereon :—Mr Alderman WOOD'S answer is both emphatic and circumstantial, and confirmed by the report of those whom the General Meeting of Share holders had delegated to inquire into the whole affairs of the Company. He denies that he ever sanctioned —he proves that he expressly op posed—such appropriation, on the ground of its in justice to the General Proprietory ; that although the other Directors accepted such shares, he refu'ed to take them, even after they had been by those Directors expressly received for him in his absence from town ; (facts that appear on their "Minutes.") He shows that he afterwards persuaded several of those Directors to relinquish their thus appropriated shares, and that he himself held but twenty shares, on which he duly paid all the calls. Secondly, It is urged that he held various offices in this Company, such as director trustee, and chairman. He replies, that he was not the originator of the Company; such appointments as he held were pressed on him by the Proprietors; and such duties as he discharged were performed by him without fee or reward ; that, far from taking or making anything, from or by, the Company, he is a loser of several thousands of pounds by the specula tion; that these offices, so held by him, were not in consistent the one with the other, and are commonly held by one and the same person in a Company of this nature. Thirdly, In the next place, he has been ac cused of deceiving the public by sending coals to Dublin, represented as of very superior quality, and the produce of the Talacre mine, but really obtained from some other pit. His answer is, that the Company took its name of " Talacre" from the appellation of Sir EDWARD MOSTYNIS seat, Sir EDWARD being the party from whom they rented their coal-fields; that they had three coal-pits, respectively known as the " Picton," the "Bryn," and the "Marsh." The coals sent to Dublin were produced in, and raised from the "Bryn," where they are of very superior quality, and such coals, therefore, we, in fact and truth, as represented—" Coals from the Talacre Works," &c. The last of these principal charges is—that on the purchase-money having •to be paid to the lessors :of the mines, Mr. Alderman WOOD refused to join with his Co. Directors in signing bills of exchange, with the view of thus evading personal liability, and of transferring such liability on the shoulders of his colleagues. But he shows that he had already assumed the like liability, by the execution of a deed of covenant for payment of this very debt ;—that "articles" into which he had entered with his partner precluded him, (under a condition very common in partnership deeds), from signing bills of exchange; but that his not concurring in such a step with the other Direc tors was so far from working to him any such ex emption from the same liability, that he has actually been sued in the matter. Again we say, to us this seems a most reasonable and satisfactory defence to the charges. That the Alderman should have been mixed up with any Joint-Stock Company is to be regretted ; but the fact infers an error of judgment, only, common (as was observed at the meeting of his friends) to some three fourths of his Aldermanic brethren. That he should have been a severe sufferer by his connexion with a bad Company is an argument to show that he acted with no kind of fraudulent intentions as to others. His private and his professional character are allowed by his opponents, as well as his friends, to be unimpeachable. Then, on what grounds should he be deprived of the benefit of a precedent which would make his seniority on the list of Aldermen eligible to be elected to the Mayoralty, a guarantee for his election on this occasion? If there be, thus, no ground of objection to him on the score of professional conduct or private character, is there any on the score of unfitness or incompetency for the office he seeks ? So far from it, he has already filled the office of chairman of many important committees in the Corporation, and is most eminent in his own immediate vocation. Are we to suppose that he has compromised his conventional title to be elected, by not having come forward at an earlier period of these charges to give the same satisfactory answers to them which he has now brought under the public eye, or to make still more ample disclosures of all facts involved in the history of his connexion with the Talacre Company ? Why, it is notorious that any man, who might volunteer a detailed state ment of all the circumstances attending a transaction of this kind, might thereby—however blameless or even commendable, they should establish his con duct to have been, to:ruin, by thus exposing himself to an endless succession of legal, though most unfair liabilities, which legal subtlety and the constructions of technical ingenuity would at once rivet upon him, through pleas founded on such admissions on his own part. The public, of course, would have no right to demand of any man any such suicidal proceeding. But with what justice and force might not his own family reproach him for having, by an act of exaggerated simplicity, demolished his own fortune, and destroyed their natural prospects and equitable rights ? Suppose Mr. Alderman Wool) to hare addressed himself to one of the highest legal functionaries in the kingdom, complaining that certain publications had much maligned and misrepresented him in an affair of this nature, and asking advice as to the institution of civil actions or criminal indict ments with a view to redress and vindication, we can imagine the QUEEN'S Attorney-General replying to him—" I have read these papers, perused your an swers, studied the documentary evidence you have sent in to prove them. I am clearly of opinion tha they establish the fact of the libel you com plain of, and vindicate your character ; but, I am as clearly of opinion that, to put them on a record, or to introduce them into a plea, would cover you with overwhelming liabilities for all the acts, debts, and obligations of the Company with which you have connected yourself." Of course we are in no sort of condition to say, or even to assume, that the facts of the Talacre Company's affairs warrant any such hypothesis. But it is a fair hypothesis for our purpose; and on this ground and for the reasons we have offered above, we really hope that Mr. Alderman T. WOOD may successfully proceed to election as Lord Mayor of London. Accounts from Madrid to the 17th instant have reached us. The appointment of M. MARTINEZ DB LA ROSA to the department of Foreign Affairs is bit terly attacked by the Opposition journals. They dread the alterations which they say he intends to propose in the Constitution of 1837. The Castellano, in reply, observes, " that M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, instructed by long experience, would now adopt a wiser course. If, at the commencement of the civil war in 1834," he deemed it expedient not to press any important measures of reform, for fear of detaching and frightening the Royalists; now, when the revolution is over, he cannot be influenced by the same considerations." El Globo reminds the detrac tors of M. MARTINEZ DB LA Ron♦ that it was he who contributed most, after Queen CHRISTINA, to re establish the constitutional system in Spain, in 1834. " The Liberal of 1812 and 1820, the Minister who, after the demise of the KING, opened the doors of Par liament, has not, as asserted by El Clamor Publico, constantly resisted the progress of liberty, and the re forms of civilisation. M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA never regarded the Estatuto Real as a work of per fection, or a definitive concession, but merely as the basis upon which the structure might be erected." We are inclined to believe, with the Castellano and the Globo, that the Spanish Ministry do not now in tend to propose very extensively anti-liberal altera tions in the Constitution of 1837, but we also believe that they did at one time intend to propose those al terations, and that they are only prevented from doing so at present by the dread of a Carlist outbreak in the north, which, should it take place, will force CHRISTINA to adopt a conciliatory policy towards Liberals of all classes. On the subject of the threat ened Carlist outbreak, a private letter from Bayonne of the 20th inst. says : " The state of Navarre excites the attention of the Spanish Government far more than is generally believed. Besides the forces marched to that province, a formid able police is about to be organised in it. A superior officer of the new gendarmerie, or guardias dudes, left Madrid on the 16th, in order to organise that corps. The Carlists are stirring up the country in the most energetic manner. More than six thousand proclama tions, published in the name of Don Carlos, were about to be forwarded from Bayonne to Pampeluna, Estella, San Esteban, Lodoso, and other points, when a counter order arrived which suspended operations ; nevertheless, everything is ready for a movement. A friend of mine has seen these six thousand proclamations in a house of this town. A good number of deserters from the army, and of young men whom the Quinta includes, continue to arrive at Bayonne. If a Carlist band, provided with some money, were suddenly to appear in the environs of Pampeluna, you may rest assured that it would be joined, within a fortnight, by three or four hundred refractory recruits." The scrutiny of the votes has made no change in the situation of the candidates for Madrid. The Moderados are all returned. The Deputies for Ma drid are MM. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, NOCEDAL, ALCALL-GALIANO, GUERRERO, EGUIZABAL, FER.• NANDEZ DE LA Hoz, and NUNEZ•ARENAS. The sub stitutes are !ht. Dula , D . l TIP CNTE4, the Marquis DF PoYAR, and CABRERO.

WALLts to the French Consul also come in for a share of notice. The .National speaks in the following handsome terms of the conduct of Capt. WALms : " We mentioned two days back the honourable pro ceeding of Captain Wallis, of the Warspite, with the Consul of France at Gibraltar. This brave officer, who had appeared sincerely indignant and annoyed at the disgraceful conduct of his subordinates, has hastened, as he promised, to stigmatise them publicly." The Algerie contains a few particulars of the manner in which the pacific termination of the war between France and Morocco was brought about. The account is as follows : " The Pacha of El Araich, Sidi Bou Sellam, made the first overtures of peace. He wrote on the sth, in the name of the Emperor, a letter full of friendly protes tations, and in which he declared that his master, who, notwithstanding the hostilities, had not ceased to be our friend, was disposed to subscribe to all the condi tions. The Consul-General of Naples, M. Martineau, undertook to carry this letter to the Prince de Joinville. He embarked on board the Var steamer, and arrived at Cadiz on the 6th instant. Sidi Bou Sellam hail already given too many proofs of his duplicity for the Admiral to place entire faith in his letter. The Prince therefore ordered M Warnier, who had been the bearer of the French ultimatum to Sidi Bou Sellam, to go to Tangiers and verify his powers. The Cuvier left Cadiz on the evening of the 6th with M. Warnier and M. Mar tineau, and arrived in the roadstead of Tangiers on the 7th. M. Martineau alone landed, and found the Raid on the shore waiting to receive his orders. At nine o'clock, the Pacha arrived in town from the camp, and went with the Kaid to the Neapolitan Consul, who shortly after. wards hoisted a signal which had been agreed upon. M. Warnier immediately landed, and was received by the local authorities, civil and military. There was a line of troops in pretty good order formed from the landing place to the Casbah. Sidi Bou Sellam received M. Warnier like an old acquaintance. When M. Warnier stated that he had come to verify the powers which Sidi Bon Sellam said he had received, the latter expressed his regret at not having applied to the Emperor for a special letter to this effect ; but in order to obviate a difficulty which the distance at which the Emperor was would otherwise render irreparable, the Pacha affirmed by a document in due form, and written in the presence of witnesses, that he had received orders to treat with the French Plenipotentiary. According to the usages of the Mussulmans the word orders, which the Pacha made use of, signifies that the person who nego tiates in the name of the Prince is charged with full powers, and relieved from all responsibility. M. War nier and Sidi Bou Sellam separated on the most friendly terms, and at two the Cuvier returned to Cadiz. The document given by the Pacha attesting the mission with which be was charged appeared sufficient to our nego tiators. On the 9th the squadron quitted Cadiz, and arrived at Tangiers. On the 10th, at ten in the morn ing, the Kaid Abbou, Governor of Tangiers, went Oa board the Suffren, to renew the demand for peace, in the name of Sidi Bou Sellam. The Prince received the Raid with distinction, for he is a brave soldier, who, on the 6th of August, was appointed governor of the town and chief of the garrison by public acclamation. The Prince presented him with a pair of pistols, as a sovenir of our attack and his courageous defence. At two o'clock, M. Warnier, accompanied by some officers, landed, and pre sented the treaty, which was accepted by Sidi Bou Sellam. A signal was immediately hoisted at the Nea politan Consulate. MM. de Glucksburg and de Nyon then landed, and went to the palace of the Governor, where, at five in the evening, they signed the treaty with Sidi Bou Sellam. Our flag was then hoisted at the French Consulate, and saluted with a discharge of 21 guns." The Moniteur Parisien gives the following from ! seized on the island of lltiatatn, in the Bay of Honduras, and purchased from an Indian chief for a few puncheon' of rum a vast extent of country. Several estab;i.yalent s have been founded on this coast by a cernpaev, ith the authorisation of the English Government, COo' tempt of the complaints of that of Central America. Finally, for the last two months, the British flag floats over the walls of Blew fields. A man-of-war arriving at Belise landed a governor, soldiers arms, and took P"s session of the town and port. This town, whose exist ence is revealed to Europe by this >udden act, is a t but little distance from St. Jean de Nicaragua, which the English continue to blockade, and which is the most trn,'' portant port of Centr a l A mer i ca .

Let it not be imagined that the Ca" quest can be looked on in the same light as the Mar' quesas, Otaheite, and the islets which are disputed to us with so much clamour and perseverance.

It would appear from the following, that the Or sical difficulties, in the way of the formation of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, are almost if n ot quite insuperable : " We are credibly informed," says the Courrier eels, " that the hopes entertained with regard to, °he , piercing the isthmus of Panama have not been reabseu; e xploree M.

Allow me to add my testirnoliciii that of Mr. Campbell as to the annoyances to which persons are subjected in such establishments, and co st loudly and bitterly would I complain of the rh i a y,ve ment of four out of the five houses in whic h ' let ter. been confined; but this might prejudice tnY si it and annoy you with denials from the prop r ietcne.foret not with threatened actions for libel. 1 : thel Algiers The garrison of Djidjelli had for some days been expecting an attack, for the Chiekh of the Zeramchas had stated on the 22d ult., that the Kabyles would un dertake to carry off the flock when it should be sent to graze outside the lines. On the 26th, at break of day, some Beni Kaids, and other Kabyles of the four frac• tions who had obtained authority to come to market, were installed in their usual place, when suddenly Lieut. Ferrand arrived, and stated that as he was going to the lime quarry be was nearly carried off by a party of 200 Kabyles in ambuscade. Being on horseback, he made his escape under a general fire, and happily no ball hit him. The commandant immediately took the field, and by ten o'clock the Kabyles had fled. We lost only one man in this affair, but the enemy had several men killed and wounded. All the Kabyles, forty in number, who were at the market were retained prisoners, until the 30th, when the Cheikhs of the fourteen fractions of the Beni Kaids came up and claimed them, and they were given up on the payment of fines, and a solemn promise to pay up their arrears of tribute." The Akbar of Algiers, of the 12th, mentions a report that ABD-EL-KADER and his family and fol lowers are established in the valley of Wad-el-Azha, between Ouchda and Tazah, about twenty leagues from the frontiers of Algeria. Accounts are also stated to have been received at Toulon from Oran, dated the lath. The news of the treaty of peace had not yet arrived there, but on the 11th General LAMORICIERE received from the son of the SULTAN a request for a suspension of arms, with an assurance that peace was on the point of being con cluded. The Afrique states that Marshal BUGEAUD is soon to come to Paris. Six Arab chiefs are also shortly to visit Paris at the expense of the Government. The object of the visit (says the Afrique) is to let them judge of the power of the country by which they have been subjected. " Another English ship," says also the above quoted Algerie, " has been cannonaded by the Moors ! It is the third time in the ten days that the British flag receives such an insult on the coast of Morocco. The English steamer Sydenham, on arriving off Vibat, on the 3d inst., was received there, not with some isolated cannon shots, as the Vesuvius had a fewdays before, but a ith a shower of shots, which did her so much damage that she was obliged to return to Gibraltar in order to repair it. This third cuff applied to the British flag, seems to denote an intention quite clear enough." The Siecle has a long article on. Lord PALMER STON'S proposed visit to Paris, which, it contends, must be connected with politics, more especially as he has expressed an intention of visiting Louis PHILIPPE. The Siecle then calls upon the Cabinet to keep on its guard. Lord PALMERSTON thinks that the Tories are tottering, and that the Whigs may soon have a chance of recovering office ; but he knows that an Administration openly hostile to France would have public opinion against it in Eng land, and he is, therefore, coming to make his peace with LOUIS PHILIPPE and his Ministers. "We wish," adds the Siecle, " that there may remain of this step but the recollection of a sort of amende honorable made to the Prince, who represents France, by the Whig Minister who betrayed the French alliance and revived against us the evil feelings, as well as evil designs, of the coalition." The aggressive spirit of " perfide Albion" is the subject of comment in the Constitutionnel, which views with alarm the progress of our settlements in the Bay of Honduras. " The progress of England does not stop, and each day she extends her power and her commerce in some new point of the globe. It would tire one to enume rate all her enterprises. She is attempting the con solidation of the subjection of India, and she is trying to establish herself in the island of Borneo. She is increasing her commerce in the Chinese seas, where she has just established herself; and in New Holland she has recently joined Port Islington (Essing ton?) to her establishments. Without the fear of a rupture with the United States, the British flag would at present float over the Sandwich Islands. On the eastern coast of Africa Port Natal and Victoria are ac quisitions not to be despised, and will not fail to become the centre points of considerable colonies. In the neighbourhoood of the Red &a the mission of Major Harris to the Kingdom of Shoa, explored originally by the French, will open a new market to the commerce of Great Britain. But as if so many different under takings were not sufficient for her ambition and her ac tivity, she pursues without cessation her progress in the sea of the Antilles. It is not merely from yesterday that Great Britain has fixed her attention on the rich countries which this sea washes. For more than a cen tury she possesses on the coast of Honduras an import ant establishment. The colony of Belize, at the mouth of the river of that name, has a vast territory. It is from Belise that come four-fifths of the mahogany annually imported into England. The English find there cochineal, dye-woods, and sarsaparilla; cotton and the sugar cane grow there naturally, and almost without culture. But Belize is, above all, important as the storehouse of the English products, which are distributed through Central America. The annual movement of this port is estimated .. are le4 has for -- o at upwards of 20,000 tons. Up to the moment that the f Spanish colonies separated from the mother country, the Her Majesty the Queen situation of the English on the coast of Honduras was 101. to the institution existing fthe !: ° W w n aeglewrich precarious, disputed, uncertain; but scarcely had Cen- the wives and children o town 13 tral America formed herself into a federative republic, Artillery.
