SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JO URS_A LS Yesterday the House of Commons having re-assernbled from the Easter adjournment, Lord John Russell made his appearance about Eve o'clock, and announced tbat.ttie resolution which he intended to propose on the 18th would be in the following form :—" That it i= expedient to per severe in those principles which have guide:! the Eircutive Government of Ireland of late years, and which have tende( to the effectual administration of the law and th LONDON, TUUSDAY, APRIL 9, 1839.

In all parts of the country in which he had been he found the Tories the most implacable enemies of the people. In every instance, and on all occasions, they manifested the greatest opposition to any attempts to get up meetings, but were, he was glad to sew, always unsuccessful.—( Hear, hear.) He thought with Mr. O'Connor. that they could not afford to have them in office one hour!—(Hear, and immense cheer , ing, which lasted for some minu:es.) Mr. CARDO gave similar statements of Tory petty tyranny thoughout that part of the country which he had travelled over. Mr. BRUCE witnessed their conduct at Devizes as indicative of Tory tyranny. Mr. CARPENTER concurred with Mr. Rogers' reso lution. There was a great change of feeling in Mr. O'Connor lately with regard to the Chartists. He now found out that they were the party which should shortly have the option of giving a constitution to the country.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES TATLOR thought they ought to leave the question between the factions. Mr. MILL! was also of the same opinion. He said there was plenty of ingredients in the country for a speedy: development of the bad government of both parties. What was the state of trade and commerce ? Why he had lately acquired some information by which he learned that some of the best mercantile houses in this country were compelled to resort to shifts for the purpose of keeping their firms afloat that were most extraordinary and unheard of. He thought that both Tories and Whigs should be allowed to tear them selves up and then consume themselves, in the manneT: of the Kilkcany cats,—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Extracts from a Report to he Committee formed for establishing Steam Carriage Communication on the Turnpike and other public Roads by means of Co lonel Maceroni's Steam Carriages, now sitting daily at Mr. Hodgson's Chambers, 21, Lincoln's Inn Fields. By Alexander Gordon, llfenzber of the Institution of civil Engineers. Mr. PETER BUSSEY, Delegate from Yorkshire, in the Chair; CORRESPONDENCE. An Address from the Chartists of Devonshire, ten dering their confidence in the Convention, and begging for further time to be allowed to Messrs. Duncan and Lowry, to consolidate the great Chartist movement which is now rapidly progressing in that hitherto en slaved county ; it also gave an account of twenty-two open air meetings, some of which were attended by 15,000 persons. In all those meetings the resolutions passed were of support to the Contention. Also a letter from a General Committee of Delegates from twenty-one districts in Ayreshire. Alto from Castle Douglas. Also from Eccleston. Also from Eaglesham, Renfrewshire. Also from Southampton. Also from Sheffield. Also from Kettering, Northamptonshire. Also from Shaftesbury. Aiso from Edinburgh. Also from Bamley, and other places, all demonstra- I am the last person to undervalue the benefits which may arise from Railways, when projected and estab ished under those peculiar (but, in my opinion, rarely occurring) circumstances to which they are especially applicable. But I regard those circumstances as in every case, comparatively speaking, individual, local, and exceedingly limited in their nature ; while the bene fits arising from the general adoption of steam in place of animal power, in connection with all public convey ances, would be co-extensive with the whole popu lation of the country. On the other hand, whilst the cost of railways, even for the very limited circumstances which call for them, is so enormous, the cost of steam carriages for common roads need not, in any case, be disproportionate to the - probable amount of the work to be accomplished by them. A railroad intended to convey 500 passengers a day will cost as much as one intended for conveying 5,000 or 50,000 ; steam carriages may be i ncrease d or di m i n i s h e d as the case may from time to tim e requ i re . whereas tive of similar confidence in the- conduct and measures of the Convention by the different assemblies from which the letters emanated. The letter from Edinburgh stated, that the Whigs got before them, in private conclave, James Grant, and thought to induce him to give up the names of the shop keepers and tradesmen who took part in the Anti-Whig Meeting, at the Waterloo Rooms. The reply of Grant was, that "If they filled his hat with gold; - he net give them the desired information." • , • Steam carriages on common roads offer this immense advantage,—that they ar,_ #e to run on the long established and well-peoPCiratroads of then country ; thus preserving the inns, towns, and interests located on existing lines, which must otherwise suff e r by the edge railway system. They preserve t o i nva lid s , l a di es , an d children, their wonted accommodation ; also to com mercial travellers, who stop and transact business in all the towns, and who, by so doing, render their goods easily attainable, and give that constant support to inns which makes them so convenient for occasional travel lers. They preserve to those who travel for pleasure the noiseless and luxurious private carriage, and the privilege of selecting their own time, conveyance, and chosen company—an independence quite inadmissible by railway transit. THE CRISIS. Mr. MAttsnEN said that in his part of the country the Radicals had for the people of Ireland a feeling of the utmost cornmisseration and pity. Mr. DEEGAN thought they ought not to interfere. so called Mr. SANKEY brought forward his motion to present an address to the people of England, Scotland,and Wales, on the present state of political affairs. He said, as there seemed to be a great sensation through the country on the present state of affairs, it was necessary, from the important position which the Convention had attained, and the great and increasing influence which it possessed, that it should give sonic expression of what was its opinion on the subject.---(Hear, hear.) He thought, as far as re gards the question of whether Ireland had been well or ill governed, was one which the people of that country would best be able to judge. He did not think with some of his friends that Lord Normanby was entitled to all the credit which was given to him for his conduct in that country.—(Hear, hear.) He did not to him ap pear more than a person who strained every nerve to procure a little popularity for the purpose of gratifying his personal vanity.—(llear, hear.) From what he had learned of that Nobleman's conduct, he could not give him credit for that devotion to liberty which some gave him.—(Hear.) When he saw that there was no more improvement in the people of that country than in the days of Peel, he must feel not at all satisfied in the measures of that Nobleman.—(Hear.) But no matter how much he felt as to the motives of that Nobleman, he would be unjust if he did not state that he fully concur red in some of the measures administered to that un- Dr. TAYLOR thought the sooner the Tories came into power the better ; for there would then be an op portunity of obtaining much sooner their liberties, inas much as then there would be no excuse for Whig. sham liberality.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. SA N KEY in withdrawing his resolution said, that he did not at all intend to bring forward his motion with any view of dissociating the people of Ireland from them, if there was a chance of obtaining their assistance ; on the contrary, he was most anxious that every means should be taken to promote a union with that long op pressed people.—(Hear.) His object in bringing it for ward was, that it might create discussion, had in or der that the people might not take any part in the ques tion now going on between the Tirol parties.—(Hear, and cheers.) thct Enough has been done by Col. Maceroni, Mr. Tel ford, Col. Pasley, Mr. Donkin, Mr. Bramah, Mr. Simp son, Mr. Field, Mr. M'Neill and myself, to confirm the conviction in all unprejudiced minds that the desidera tum was attained, and that, under good management, it could be beneficially used for public service. In November, 1833, an experiment was made, and our Report was, " there can be no doubt that, with a well-constructed engine, a steam carriage conveyance, on the turnpike-roads between London and Birmingham at a velocity unattainable by horses, and li m it e d on l y b y safety, might be maintained. Mr. RoGgßs' motion for allowing the struggle for for plunder to be passed over by the people was passed unanimously. D. W. HARVEY, M.P. In reply to a question put by Mr. Carpenter, Mr. SKEVINGTON said ho had not got a reply from Dr. Wade, on whose authority he had stated Mr. Har vey's wiilingnefs to become the law officer of the Con- Ycntion.

SOLOMONS, Opticians and Ambits to the Royal Family, 19, Albe. raarle-street, Piccadilly, by which thousands of deaf persona have keen greatly benefited, is the size of a seven.shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the car is soft and easy, and not more percep tible than baying a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at ipublio assembly is heard with distinctness. And defec tive VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES : Immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object bacomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing because much improved. The Messrs. S JLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons of the SA ME NAME, and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing so they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" if Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., kc. &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable ju . ce, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen. too, are subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electric , ; Amber grows, with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warrnth that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir 1) BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry. The destructive effects of suck a material for Spect.:cles, to imperfect vision, are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs. Curtis and Dellond's Second Edition on the Preservation of Sight, and may be ascertained at any respectable Opticians in London.

PROPOSED BLACKHEATH CEMETERY.—Se veraI correspondents are anxious to direct the attention of the public, and especially of the inhabitants cf Blackheath, to the Bill which is now before Parliament, " For making and maintaining a cemetery, to be called the Blackheath Cemetery, to be established on an extensive scale, in an open situation on Blackheath, in the parish of Charlton, in the county of Kent." This Bill, it appears, stands for second reading. On this subj:ct we can only say that it , 4 ;;,,,t :1-.lt tale 4.f the ‘, lungs" of the me tre; oils, as Blackheath roust undoubtedly is, should be thus taken away from the public,--Observer. I would here observe, that very few engineers have taken any trouble to make themselves acquainted with the theory and practice of steam carriage communi cation except upon. Railroads. They have, it is true, been compelled to admit the possibility of steam power upon common roads ; but many of them—and I think they arc without exception engaged on Railway under takings—doubt the economy of the same. Other en gineers, although they acknowledge both the possibility and the economy of steam conveyance by the public highways of the country, confess that they are fully occupied with Railway communication. The practica bility has been a bundantly proved not only to engineers, but to the publin at large, and to several members of your Committee ; and, that this Report may not be altogether bare of information upon the economy, I will add a few hues on that head. It must be admitted, that the difference in the de structive effect upon a steamer can only be in over coming the resistance of collision. Now, on railways the steamers are rapidly injured by this force, and the strongest wheels and axles are quickly destroyed by it. These carriages on the railway strike and bound from side to side, and skip along a hard unyielding railroad ; the wheels and axles immediately suffer, and the fine work of the engines, imperfectly protected by rigid and i!1-applied springs, almost as immediately suffers from such shocks. There is a want of sufficient flexibility in the springs, and the railway is entirely destitute of elasticity. I am, after long and repeated observation, satis fied, that the destruction will bo less on the turnpike. road than on the railwayzi . . • .. . . . My opinions upon this point have been coafirmed by the results of numerous steam journeys, by Colonel Maceroni's steam carriage; ;tnd I would refer'you to Appendix Aof this Report. The results of 'stay expe rience of the actual expenses, including fuel, repairs, attendance, superintendence, and toll-money—the total expenses per mile are Is. ; carrying, on an average, fif teen passengers at a mean rate of 1.5 miles per hour. I know a valley, 13 miles from London, which is passed by horse-coaches, and which I have passed by steam carriages, descending on one side, and ascending on the other, at a speed of 11 or 12 miles per hour. . . Over this valley an embankment and viaduct, which cannot cost less than 200,0001., is con structed for a Railway. To pass this valley, therefore, will cost annually 10,000/. of interest, exclusive of the more immediate cost of carriages, maintenance of way, repairs of engines, &c., which must be charged to some body, and therefore forms a charge on goods and pas sengers carried. Railway engineers would do well to think of this. Steam carriages on common roads do not require all this work. They can carry passengers and goods from towns situate in the lowest parts of valleys, or other low coun tries, to towns on hill-sides or in mountain districts ; not so railway locomotives ; the railroad may have a very fine level ; but if our residence be at the bottom of a valley, all our produce must mount a more than ordi narily steep acclivity before we can place it on the rail way. If we reside on the high land, we must have all our necessaries brought up to us at considerable ex pense. The whole produce of the country is on different levels, and some undulations in lines of communication are absolutely necessary. So that, even supposing such levelling as railroads demand benefits the proprietors of them, it may be to the public a disadvantage. Now, steam carriages on the common road would set the carryini , trade, and all other trades and pursuits, on an equarfooting. The turnpike-roads of England and Wales alone, ex clusive of 130,000 miles of other highways, extend, ac cording to a report of the House of Lords in 1829, over 19,800 miles in length ; they have been constructed at great expense ; the trusts are heavily in debt. These roads form the grand currents of trade, through long established, and well-pcopled, and busy lines : on, along, and across these lines every kind of carriage can pass, without a charge which can at all enrich the road trustees. On these roads competition in the carrying trade can always exercise its wholesome checks. Many of these roads, public property, with a free carrying trade, are at present endangered by the Railway mania, which Railways are private property, with a monopoly in the carrying trade. . . . . . . I made numerous trips, of many miles at a time, with Colonel Maceroni's steam carriage, between the months of August, 1833, and September, 1834, at a speed varying from 10 to 20 miles an hour, acrding to the " Clivities" of the road, or the variable turnpike sur faces in the neigh bourhood of London ; and after tra velling by this and other steam carriages over a n aggregate of not less than 3,500 miles of common roads, I confidently recommend Colonel Maceroni's carriage sup to your notice a s the one by which you ma y accomplish the object you ha ve in view, e . s , pecially w h en it is plied with Col onel Macerom s New B o il er Improve ments, with the na ture and particulars of which I have, in confidence , confidence , been made acquainted, and which will r ender the new steam carriages far s u p er i or to the or ginal one, of which I have soken so favourably in the 2d and 3d editions of my Treatise on Locomotion, and other publications, as economical and perfectly safe. ' . It is perhaps . unnecess ary for me to say, that the in . either ventions of Colonel Maceroni may h be employed as draggers for o ther carriages, or as passenger car riages. # 4t # Prospectuses maybe_ had on application to Air.

To be sure, these measures were not attended with much of good result, for he (Mr. Sankey) found, on a late visit to that country, that the people were as much divided as ever. Ile saw in the police system of that country nothing but a measure to enslas e the people, no matter which party had the power. Time was when the imbecile and truckling Whigs would have the wishes, the sym pathies, and assist ance o f an ens l ave d peop l e ; b u t t h a t time was now gone : thank God, that time was passed away. Now did the people know how little confidence was to be placed in these infatuated men.—( Hear, and *cheers.) He did not think they had any right to ex press an opinion in favour of the conduct of Lord Nor manby, who was guided in the good he done by a craving appetite for applause. He would, therefore, propose an address to the people to prevent them taking any active part in the question.—( Hear.) Mr. HARNEY seconded the address. Mr. F. O'CosNoa. felt great pleasure in opposing the motion of his friend, Mr. Sankey. With regard to the motives which that gentleman had attributed to the Marquis of Normanby, no matter what they were— and who could blame the indulgence of a little per sonal vanity ?—that Nobleman had done more towards the amelioration of Ireland in three years' time than had been achieved in the same number of centuries by his predecessors, whether Whigs or Tories.—(Hear, and cheers.) He it was, and he would as an Irishman give him his hearty thanks for doing so, that first gave the pos session of that liberty, of which the unjust laws which governed them deprived them, to those individuals who were suffering from incareration.—( Hear, and loud cheers.) It was true, as Mr. Sankey said, tbat in exer cising this attribute of his station he was perhaps a little capricious, but would they blame him for thus exercising it, when they considered that in freeing some unworthy characters he also gave freedom to a great number of in nocent and injured persons.—(llcar.) It was true also as Mr. Sankey said, that in setting aside the Judge's list of Sheriffs he did act unconstitutionally, but when it was remembered how much was in the hands of the Sheriffs, would they not afford to Lord Normanby the meed of their highest approbation, for setting aside mon who were sought be appointed to these offices, who ever studied to crush the people in all their attempts to obtain something like good Government ?—( Hear, and loud cheers.) As long as the present system was in being, there could not be a doubt but that these un constitutional acts would be exercised ; it was for a change of this system that they were exerting them selves, but was it right to blame the only person who had ever exercised them for the people's good?—(Hear, and cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connor) would rather that a Haddington or a Londonderry should be the servant of good laws, than have a Normanby master of bad ones ; but still while they had these bad laws they ought to be thankful to him that smoothed them down to make them more palatable to his unfortunate country.— (Hear, and cheers.) Unless they did speak out the people of Ireland would think that they were inclined to assist the Tories to procure office, a thing which ,they (the Convention) would not seller at the expense of their lives. No, the Tories, that hateful, bloody, and exterminating class, should learn that the people hated them with a hatred which never could be modified. —(Hear, hear, and tremendous cheering.) He (Mr. O'Connor) would willingly give his heart's blood, aye, drain it to the last drop, sooner than those harpies, who never omitted an opportunity of crushing the people—no matter what the expendi ture of blood and treasure—should return to power.— (Cheers.) The Convention should speak up, and give the people an opportunity of seizing on the opportunity offered to them to promote their own cause ; three par ties could not exist in this country. They, therefore, should take care not to lose sight of this struggle for domination between tho rival parties, and turn it to their own advantage.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connor) loved, he admired, and respected Lord Normanby for his manly, independent, and conciliating conduct. He felt for him sentiments of gratitude which be could not express for his conduct to the poor and oppressed Irish ; for he was the first who broke in on the charter of hospitality, by dining at the table of the poor man instead of the rich.—(Cheers.) He did intend to bring on this question himself, in order to make a motion to get the sanction of the Convention towards getting up a meeting at the Crown and Anchor, at his own expense, to test the people's opinion on the question. It was necessary that they should be vigilant and attentive to their duties, in order to be prepared for anything that may occur ; and who could account for what might be the result of this struggle ? If the Tories arc successful they will dissolve Parliament, which, on re-election, will give them a majority of eighty. If this were the case, what would be the state of liberty, not only in Ireland but in England also. 'Then might they bid farewell to the Convention. It would not be allowed to exist for a month, a day, an hour —no, not one minute, if the Tories acquired power. —(Hear, hear.) He would beseech his friend to with draw his motion, it might do harm—it could not do good. How could they attempt to call into question the conduct of a Nobleman who had braved the hate of that rabidly fanatical religious tyrant Lord Roden—Of those whipster ? libellers of their country, Lords Oxman town and Charleville, and that political weathercock Brougham, who was a Judge without law, a Legislator without principle, and a man who ought to be despised.—(Hear, hear, and great cheering.) Mr. O'Connor continued for sometime further to im press on the Convention the good effects of Lord Nor manby's government in Ireland, and concluded by again calling on Mr. Sankey to reconsider the proposition, which he had brought forward. Mr. O'BRIEN moved the appointment of a Committee to remodel the address. Mr. PITKEITHLEY seconded this proposition. Mr. ROGERS said that if they took the advice of some Radical wri&ers, who advised them to support the Tories in this crisis, this would leave them subject to an opinion, no matter how untrue it was, that they were Tories. He thought the proper line was to do nothing at all but to keep to their own business. What was it but a hankering after plunder which both parties had—that produced the present state of the parties ? The Tories want plunder—the Whigs want plunder— and their business was to prevent either party from attaining their object. He thought a short resolution should be sent quickly through the country, stating to the people " that they should not interfere in the struggle for office between the base Tories and hypocritical Whigs." lie would move a resolution to that effect. Mr. O'CoNNOR would second that resolution. i Mr. O'BRIEN was glad of Mr. O'Connor's excellent RENT.

The naivete of this concluding tribute to the practicel merits of the Ministerial policy produced a good deal of Lau :eh - ter. The Houseseemed to feel that the resolutioe, if not very se. curate in matter-of-f ac t, h a d, at any rate, som e thi ng vcry sprightly in its turn of language ; and so, for the moment, the subject passed elf. But it happens that the lath is aMonday ; and on Mondays Orders of the Day have precedence of Motions. Sir Robert Peel, therefore (after the interven tion of two or three matters of routine), requested Lord John to inform the House whether it were intended to pro_ pose this resolution as a substantive motion, or es an amend ment cn the Orders of the Day--( a very material qt.:s tiers ; for, as the rules of proce-ding forbid an emeedrnent upon an ernenement, it would have been iteptaetieeble, hid the resolution been proposed as an amendment on Order of the flay, to move anything ease as an anteineet upon the resolution). Lord John replied, that on Friday he should move the postponement of such Orders of thc• Day as mig . et be standing for Monday, atel should re- - quest those Members who had notices of motion for Mell ott), to postpone them, so as t o ene bl e hi m to pro p ose tl-e announced resolution as a substantive motion. What bedy or section of the House of Commons is it that this result. tion is supposed to suit, beyond the cirele.of the regular Aliaisterial partisans ? " Expedient to persevere ?" Whose perseverance is It to be ? That of the present Ministers, to be sure. The vote is asked for, specifically . to keep them in office. But that is just the thins in the whole world which an, - English Radice! will tell you he ide precates th e most.

He has thundered out all the themes of the Irish Vatican against the Ptediuntehiely conduct of the Ministers—has built tins Prete:lee - Society upon the verb' basis of their general to• thiness ; but their Executive Government, from its executing neitlntr business nor crime, hiss a merit in his eyes, and he will vote fer the res , " Which have tended to the effectual administrafi law." When a sportsman hunts vermin, he all: , chance of escape, whicLj s called giving, them law; cr d it that is the sort of law you mean, tire Irish vermin has , e certainly had a good e‘eal of it. But as to the law that avenges crime—that fences the rights of property—that protects the life of ft-An—such law our fellow-subjects in Ireland have in vran desired, demanded, implored. Is it not enough, then, that they have seen the priests, the a.sso ciators, and the Government, leagued in one great con spiracy- against the Ch urc h an d t h e Protestant pecple —the priesthood issuing its ban, the association its bludgeonmen, and the Government its pardons—bet that the Ministers must now embitter injury by aff, out, and swagger upon the misprisions they hove committed ? Is it possible that party spirit will carry men, nut directly and inextricably committed with the Govern_ . ment, to assert such ha r dy, p a l pa bl e untrut h s , as. t h ose which figure in this impudent resolution ? Ii it please tire Radical to say, that Ire regards certain extreme principles as the mast likely to strengthen the law and improve the land, it is impossible for us, however we ma ) dissent free', that belief, to find fault with him for sinceiely exprescieg it. But if, at the dictate of the Ministry.---a Ministry, toe, whom he professes to despise—he consent to assert not only that those principles may produce such effects in 'related, but that such effects have already been produced there_ that the country has been generally improved, and, above all, that the law has been effectually administered, we can only say that the conscience of that man is as elastic as the assurance of the Government is astounding; and that the flume party have at length effectually succeeded in their great desideratum of merging the ancient distinctien be tween black and white.— Times. The House of Commons met yesterday; the Lords did not meet, their adjournment being till Thursday: Lord John Re,ssell put the House in possession of the resolution which it is his intention to move on ,Monday, next, the 15th (not the I lth, the day he originally named, his Lordship haviag afterwards substituted the other). " With respect, sir," said the Noble Lord, " to the notice which I have giron for Monday next, I beg now to 4tate that on that day it is my intention to bring forward the tollowitig reso le.tion:—' That it is the opinion of this House that it is expedient to persevere in those principles which have unided the Executive Government in Ireland of late years, and which have produced the effectual adrni nistration of the laws, and the general improvement of that part of the United Kingdom.'" In an.scr,er to a question from Sir Robert Peel, wheiher he intended to bring forward his resolution as a substantive motion or as an amendment to an order of the day, his Lordship stat:'d that on Friday next he should pbtpone all the Govern ment orders that stood for Monday, so that the resolution of which he had given notice would stand first in the list of motions. So much for the course which h to adopted by Ministers. In the meet titne the peel - 4( Ireland are not idle.

The memory of Orange dorninAtion •is ton fresh in Ireland to allow the people to remain passive at such a crisis ; and the Irish are too acute not to understatO the full force of an attempt to seize the reins of power by a vote, which a determination to deliver them over, hound hand and foot, to their enemies, could alone inspire.._ Morning Chronicle. Her Majesty's Ministers have at last agreed, or seemml to agree, upon the terms of the motion which they are to submit to the House of Commons, with a view to keep themselves in place, in defiance of a vote cf the FloUSe of Lords, which they think fit to regard as a vote of censure and distrust. It will at once be seen that, if the vote of the House of Lords be one of censure and distrust, the vote which Ministers intend to solicit of the House of Commons is one of very qualified approbation and confi dence. The Hou eof Lords have determined to-inquire into the state of Ireland, in respect to crime, under the Mulgrave Government; and Ministers, naturally enough, considering the general character of their Administration, not in Ireland only, but in Great 131.oiin, regard the deter mination to inquire as stt ic:ly equivalent to a vote of eon damnation. What the House of Commons is to be called upon to vote is—" That it is tie opinion cf this House, that it is expedient to persevere in those principles which have guided the Executive Govet:ment of Ireland of late years, and which have produced the effectual administra tion of' the law, and the general improvement of that part of the United Kingdom." The House of Lords and the House of Commons being obviously, and indeed avowedly, regarded by Ministers, the f ormer i n t h e light of enemies, and the latter in that of friends, it might have been ex pected that, since the former had determined to investi gate a certain department of Ministerial conduct, the latter would have been invited to institute a similar investiga time, as an effectual protection to Ministers from an incul patory and unjust decision. This course, howeter, has not been thought expedient. To neutralise the in quiry of the Lords, the Commons are called upon to pronounce an opinion of the effect of Ministerial policy in Ireland without any inquiry. The Commons are to de• Clare that the administration of the law in Ireland has been eirwctual of late years, and there has been a general im provement of that part of the United Kingdom. And this they arc to declare without inquiry, notwithstanding the countless murders in Ireland which remain at this moment unpunished. A vote of the Commons tnthis effect, if it can be obtained, is to be taken by Ministers as an expr r r s pression of the approbaton of that assembly of their Irish policy.

O'Brien gave lengthened and interesting details of their several mis sions through Cornwall, Devonshire, Dorsetshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Susses, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey and Kent. Their letters gave ac counts of the great success which attended the mission, notwithstanding the cppoiition of the Tories and the Whigs, particularly in Portsmouth, Gosport, Plymouth, and their localities, where Mr. O'Brien said he heard from good military authority, that there were seven Re giments of Dragoons ready to defend the Queen 'and Charter. This statement was received with loud cheers. After bearing these gentlemen, the Meeting dis. solved. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. TO THE LDITOR OF THE SUN. have been much struck with the conclusion of an article headed " Russian Actual Policy," con tained in the recently published number of the Foreign Quarterly Review. It exactly tallies with the observa tions embodied in my letter of the 25tb ult., which you did me the honour to insert in your columns. It is satisfactory to find that the all-important subject of encouragement, or rather non-encouragement, afforded to men of scienc by the Board of Admiralty, is at length, tc duce, otxcitir; the attention of the public press, who sill, I trust, kee!' the nations' eyes fixed upon it, ti 4 ). it meets witlr that justice from the Naval and Military Commission, which the magni tude of its importance so imperatively demands. I carefully abstain from all critical comments on the po litico-literary article to which I have alluded ; but I crave permission to quote a paragraph that proves the necessity of a radical change in the scientific depart.. ment (if any such there be) of the Admiralty. The example of other nations, especially of one ambitious to a proverb, urges the vigorous adoption of similar measures at home ; but they have not, and cannot be adopted, simply because there is no one to give them the requisite attention. We arc well aware that as the waters of the Black Sea are every where deep close in -shore, so that line-of battle ships can ride up to the edge almost. Russia has carefully• fortified her stations there, not with cannon alone, but with every new invention obtainable since the last war. 11'hile some of these have been rejected from Foreigners by our:wives, on th e pr i nc i ple that we could wish no alteration in the system of Naval warfare, and should, therefore, be the last to adopt it, she has embraced all offers, made liberal proposals, tried every experiment, fished out every secret, disappointed the various projec tors, if they are to be believed, of their reward, and cm ploycd the most effective of the projects secretly, and for her own security. Sebastopol, for instance, is utterly unassailable in " the old way."—pp. 211 212. If, Sir, Sebastopol, in consequence of recent improve ments in the art of fortification adopted by the Russians (the main feature of which is the mounting .cannon of naval construction) be unassailable in the old way, Old England must, I suppose, content herself by looking and longing, with a pout, till it pleases their inert mightinesses of the Admiralty to give her sons the chance of competing, in the new system, with her prudent, and more enterprising neighbours. But the writer, in con tinuation, boldly hits the right nail on the head, and lays open the real obstacles to the improvement of our naval force. The objection to the new system rest chiefly with the prejudices of those who succeeded by the old one ; and the c onsequent support given to these by their friends, the influential supporters of the actual Adini• rally and its Lords."—p. 212. The remedy for this lamentable state of prejudice, corrupt supineness, irresponsibility, and folly, I pointed out in my former letters. My plan, no doubt, admits of improvement ; and I shall deem it an ample reward, if it meets with due consideration in the proper quarter. To your patriotic zeal, Sir, I appeal, that this most important subject be not permitted to pass into oblivion. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, London, April 8. S. A. W. TIIE BANISIIED.—IS_ new work of fiction, under this title, is announced as immediately forthcoming, edited by James Monier, Esq., the distinguished author of " Hajji Baba," " Zohrab, the Hostage," &c. Mrs. Morier's Eastern stories are unrivalled in modernliterature. Whether for excitement of narrative, truth of imagery, or just conception of character, he distances all competitors M the field of oriental fiction. " The Banished," we be lieve, will introduce us to scenes and characters entirely new to the great body of Euglish readers, it being a tale of Suabia, founded on historical facts of peculiar interest. TIIE LIFE OF WELLINGTON.—Mr. Colburn has at length published the first part of the " Life of the Duke of \Wellington," the production of a writer dis tinguished in the literary world, who has devoted nearly two entire years to the accomplishment of a task the most difficult to the biographer and historian ; involving, as it naturally does, the personal history of the hero of a hun dred battles, interwoven with that of the p resen t century. It will, perhaps, be recollected that this work, in the earlier announcement, was stated to have been placed under the military editorship of Captain C. R. Scott; circumstances, however, prevented this arrangement from being corn pleted, and this important duty has devolved on Sir James Alexander. From whatever cause it is certainly sur prising that no man of literary repute has hitherto at ' tempted to write the life of the hero of \Waterloo, and the public may, therefore, be congratulated that so great a desideratum in biographical history is at length supplied. The work will be published in twelve monthly parts, em bellished with portraits, battle scenes, &c., by Landseer, Warren, Landells, and other eminent Artists, at the mo derate price of 2s. 6d., each part—a price that will place it within the reach of all classes ; and there are few, we thiek, who would not wish to possess such a life of the greatest ornament of this, or any other age or countrv. The First Part, which is now ready, includes the Duke's first entrance into military life—his campaign in Holland, under the Duke of York—and his first exploits in India. Anion. other Liberals of station in 13ucks, named as likely to be put in the Commission of the Peace by the new Lord Lieutenant, we perceive one name that might collect honour on the list, that of Sir W. Herschel'. Government have purchased the barracks at Trowbridge for 3,5001., and will take possession on the Ist of May next. Shortly after the peace they were sold for 1,5001., by the then Government. By this transfer up : wards of forty families will have to move to other places of abode.— Wilts Gazette.
