That remark, we conceive, iseminently entitled to consideration, as one doubly affecting the whole aspect of the transaction, from the commence ment of the inquiry up to the rejection of the appeal from the confirmation of the proceedings. Already we hare intimated our confidence as to the ulterior determination of our Most Gracious So- VERBIGN in a matter affecting the subordination of her army, the maintenance of homage for the law, and the character of her reign, otherwise beneficient and illustrious. Tenacious as she must naturally be of the faithfulness of her soldiers, the dignity of her administration, and the affectionate allegiance of her people, her ears will not remain deaf to arguments so logical—her eyes will not continue blind to a wrong so conspi cuous—her heart will not prove impene trable to an appeal so earnest and persuasive. We are sanguine, therefore, not only that the case of the unfortunate victim of the late Court-martial at Guernsey may be reconsidered, but that, through the benignant interposition of her MAJESTY, the whole system of military jurisprudence may be subjected to a speedy and thorough re-organization. We are, indeed, rejoiced to find that the agitation for the most important of all the reforms so urgently required to secure the welfare and prosperity of the people is about to be renewed in a form that, we trust, will speedily lead to a triumphant result. The National Currency Reform Association has been formed under the able presidency of the zealous and energetic FRANCIS BENNOCH, and:the clear-headed and intelligent JONATHAN DUNCAN, the enthusiastic and devoted labourer in the great cause of monetary reform, has accepted the office of secretary. Under such auspices we cannot doubt but that the fearful injuries which all classes, with one exception, have sustained from the working of our monetary code will be fully and clearly explained, and the advantages to be derived from the adoption of " free trade in money" distinctly developed. The time has truly arrived when all parties should put - their shoulders to the wheel, when the voice of public opinion should be heard, temperately but firmly, demanding from the Legislature the redress of the wrongs under which the nation has groaned for the last "thirty years. A.lthcugh all classes are more or less interested in the result, the working men—those who can earn their daily bread by their daily labour—are peculiarly so. The adoption cf a circulating medium ad , - quate to the wants and exigencies of the nation would speedily afford ample and remunerative employment for al' I who were able and willing to labour ; it would prove to be the very " lift-blood of industry." A suitable measure and representative of value would bring to light the real capital contained in the thews and sinews of the labouring population, who would then become the creators and producers of national wealth in place of being hut too frequently the incumbrances and burdens on the national resources. The first general meeting of this association will be held at seven o'clock this evening at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, when the principles and objects for which the society has been constituted will be fully explained. We anticipate a numerous attendance of those who feel the weight and pressure of the existing taxation, and the impracticability of giving fall scope to their exertions under the present unjust and impolitic system of currency. Orangemen : ore of them hit him on the head with a stone. . . . One of the Orangemen said, " D—n your soul for a Popish and knocked me down w:th a stone. When I returned t the garden, three of them had my uncle down, and were stabbing him. . . . . When I could do so with slfoty, I went to my uncle, and got his head on my kr.e.,. Ile lived about ton minutes a'ter:that. The Orangemen d--d my grandmother, who is an old bed-ridden woman this year and a half, spat in her face, hit la2r on the head with 3 atone, cut her arms, and then smashed a chair on her forehead." This is a specimen of the sickening and revolting horrors of that day, these were some of the immediate results which weigh as mere trifles in the mind of this impartial judge in comparison with the Government indiscretion of dismissing two or three magistrates from the commission of the peace. Even at the ri.k of re-enacting scenes like these, the writer in the Quarterly would still continue the idle mummery of insulting processions. The glories of the Boyne are to be celebrated, though civil war should be the con sequence ; but we believe these processions must cease. The able statesman now ruling the destinies of Ireland has, we are happy to say, recognised the necessity of putting an end to them, and what he sees necessary he knows how to perform. his cha racter has little to fear from the frequently refutod misrepresentations reiterated through the pages of the guar terly. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National Assembly on Monday was engaged in a discussion on the Bill authorising the transporta tion of the insurgents of June, at present at Belle Isle, to Algeria. An amendment, moved by N. SAUTEYRA, that the prisoners should be tried or set at liberty, was rejected by a majority, 385 to 205. The great feature of the discussiOn was the speech of M. JULES FAYRb in favour of the amendment. (M. Junss FAYRE, it will be recollected, was one of the most active members of the Committee of the Consti tuent which, in June, 1848, recommended the transportation of these very men.) In the course of bis speech M. JULES PAYEE declared that he ascended the tribune because he had had the dangerous honour of being one of the members of the Committee appointed Vy the Constituent Assembly to prepare the decree against the insurgents ef June. lie could, therefore, speak with perfect know ledge of what were the intentions and inc fives on which the decree was presented. The Constituent Assembly acted under the idea that the men engaged in the insurrection cf June had fought with a firm resolve to effect the ruin of so ciety. But he could affirm that that opinion was marked by error.—(" Oh, oh !" Marks of surprise.) The facts of that insurrection had been since investi gated by the courts of law and by the councils of war, and he defied any one to point out a single proof, or even indication, that the acts of the insur nts of June were the effect of a conspiracy directed against society.—("Oh, oh !" and laughter.) A Voice—This is very different language from what you employed ferinerly.—(H e ar, hear.) N. Jules Favre could defy any man to point out one word of his that was in contradiction to his pre ' sent language. As long as the facts had not been in vestigated he had been silent, but now that they had been carefully examined, he was able to give an opinion, and to affirm that there was no premeditated design on the part of the insurgents of June against society. This speech of M. ;JULES FAY RE has produced a great sensation. It appears from the statement made by the Minister of the Interior that there are at pre sent in the prisons of Belle Lie only 468 prisoners out of the 14,500 originally arrested. The Corsaire says : We are assured that the Prince de Canino has for warded to the Legislative Assembly .the following peti tion :--` In my quality of French citizen I demand to be allowed to enter France like my brothers, Pierre, An toine, Louis Lucien Bonaparte, like my uncle Jerome and his son, and like my first cousin Louis Napoleon Boneparte.'"

Meantime the new electoral lists are preparing, and measures being taken to enable the new Legislature to meet by the Ist of April. 1 On New Year's Day the Lord High Com missioner closed the session with a speech, in which, after alluding to the firm support ho bad received from both Houses of Parliament during the recent troubles of Cephalonia, he briefly recapitulated the labours of the session, the most important of which consisted in the reform of the Constitution, adding that, on this subject, the Assembly had given p roofs of the greatest moderation and desire of conciliation. lie then concluded his speech by expressing a hope that the political experiment about to be tried in the lonian Isles would be crowned with success. The President of the Assembly then made a short and appropriate answer, after which the Parliament separated. OLYMPIC THEATRE. At the opening of the present season the new and elegant theatre in Wych-street found itself placed between two fires—the Strand, with Farren and Mrs. Glover on the one hand, and on the other Drury Lane, re-opened for the legitimate drama, with the attractions of a good company, a first rate panto mime, and reduced prices of admission. These po tent influences told, for a little time, somewhat against the interests of the enterprising lessee of the Olympic, but the admirable efficiency of his troop, the incomparable elegance of the appointments, and the extreme attention dev oted to all details conducing to the satisfaction of his patrons and the harmonious working of his establishment, are already fairly and cordially appreciated, and we confidently predict that at the close of the campaign Mr. Watts will not only have secured the permanent favour of the play-going world, but will have reason to congratulate himself upon a well-replenished treasury, the gratifying fruits of merited success. Mrs. Mowatt's highly humorous ce medy, perfect in the cast and the performance, continues to draw numerous and delighted audiences. Apart from its sterling merits, it is worth going to see if for nothing else than the novel and lavish style of beauty of the mise en scene. Leaving to Drury and the Princess's to settle between them which boasts the most deservedly of producing " the best pantomime of the season," we venture to tell them that Laugh and Grow Fat treads close upon their heels. It is deli ciously grotesque. Torn Matthews's autumnal splendour is not yet eclipsed by the meridian lustre of the inimitable Flexmore. Miss Malcolm is an agile and fascinating Columbine, inferior to none witlain our knowledge, and Morris makes a right capital Pantaloon. But not the least prominent fea ture ( f this portion of the entertainment is the excel lence (.f Cormack's Harlequin. One pantomimist may be found excelling in activity, a second in grace fulness of posture, another in brilliancy of saltatory execution, tatt there is a masterly and unique combl - of all the qualifications essential to pre-emi nence in this particular department of the art de veloped in the performance of Cormack, which stamps him as the best Harlequin on the metropolitan boards. A pas de deux by Marshall and Miss Louisa Cole man, a very elegant danseuse, Was warmly applauded. The pantomime will, we understand, be withdrawn after a few nights more in consequence of various forthcoming novelties. A new classical drama, from the pen of Oxenford, entitled Ariadne, is on the eve of appearing, and that splendid tragedian, Gustavus Brooke, will, ere long, prove the magnet f the town. There is one highly commendable measure adopted by this most liberal of managers to promote the comfort and satisfaction of his visitors, and we wish that m this and sundry other matters the managers of the other houses would take a leaf out of his book, namely, the strict prohibition of gratuities to the box-keepers, who are, notwithstanding, remarkably civil and at tentive. It is high time that this tormenting tax were universally abolished. ;hat you w' MR. MILNE'S SCOTTISH EN TERTAIN MEA T CROSBY HALL. The lovers of Seqttish song have felt the loss o Wilson He sang the melodies of his native land with a taste and sweetness, an expression and feeling, which showed that his soul was in it, and that he was no stranger to the "poetry of music." His illustra tions, apt, judicious, and humourous, did more to popularise the songs of Scotland to an English au dience than had ever been done before ; and proved him no less the accomplished gentleman than the successful singer. His lamented death has caused a void in our metropolitan amusements which we have longed to see filled up ; and it was, therefore, with some anxiety that we oa Monday evening attended Milne's entertainment at Crosby Hall. Mr. Milne makes his appearance in London under the auspices of Sir James Duke, the ready patron of unobtrusive merit and the liberal encourager of as siduous perseverance ; but we think he needs no such patronage; it will be his own fault if he secure not a far more extended patronage than that of any indi vidual, however influential. Of the entire perform ance we can speak in terms of unqualified commenda tion. Mr. Milne appears to possess the qualifications necessary to secure eminent success. His manner is easy and graceful, his voice full and melodious, while his singing is free from that noisy, boistering bawling, which may be enthusiastic, but is very unmusical. Two of his songs in part icular were admirable. " 0' a' the Airts the Wind can blaw," one of Burns' favourites, was sung with great feeling and impres siveness ; and "My Wife has ta'en the gee" was given with much point and precision, and loudly applauded. The Misses Smith, who assisted in the performance, were an immense acquisition. Some of the old Jacobite songs, which were arranged as " trios," were sung most harmoniously, and were very effective. " Caller Herring," always a favourite, fcom its easy flowing measure and the sentiment of the song, was also arranged as a " trio," and was rapturously re ceived. Miss Julia Smith's voice is a soprano of great power and compass, and her singing is distin guished by a co rrect accentuation. She sang "My Boy Tammy" most exquisitely. Her sister's is a soft, flexible contralto, and told with admirable effect in the several duets which they sang together. The audience seemed altogether much pleased with the entertainment, and received with evident satisfaction the announcement that it would be continued every Monday evening. We think Mr. Milne is wise in taking this course, for he may rest assured that if he supply the public with a good article, and according to sample, the public will support him. CENTRAL AMERICA. Consistently with the enterprise hitherto evinced by him as a geographer, Mr. Wyld, of Charing cross, has just issued a most admirable map f the countries comprised in the narrow isthmus connecting North and South America, and separating the Pacific from the Atlantic. Hitherto this particular quarter of the globe has been about the least known, while the knowledge of its nature and characteristics has, year by year, been growing a subject of larger and larger interest. Before five more years have elapsed, in all hum an probability, no less than f our different lines of railway will be opened across the isthmus of Panama, rendering that neck of land what Egypt was at one period in the other hemisphere—the highway of the commerce of mankind. H ere, in the beautiful and elaborate map before us, Mr. Wyld has delineated these four different routes, illustrative marginal ac companyingthe general d elineation with marginal Sections of the levels, cuttings, and other v ariations of the country and the enterprize. The surface depicted in the map is comprised between ne I. th is e fourth and twentieth d e g rees of latitude. Li situated between Chagres and Panama, extending over fifty-one miler, and presenting on 500 feet as the summit level of the pr esent road ; examination, however, it proves that along this route only thirty-six miles by land require to be traversed, the rest of the distance being navigable by the Rio Chagres. Line 11. is from St Juan el Sur to San Juan de Nicaragua, extending over 172 miles in length. Line 111. is from Realego to St. Juan de Nicaragua, extending over no less than 278 miles in length. While, remem bering that along these two latter routes the distance to be traversed is most materially diminished (di minished indeed to nearly fifteen miles) through the interposition of Lake Nicaragua and the River San Juan de Ni ca ragua--the cutting being not deeper than 600 feet in the highest quarters. Line IV., and communication perhaps the best among all the routes, extend ingothe direct e publicationc t of this over 199 miles in length is the one tra versing the road of. Tehuanepec. This last-mentioned route , although aided by no rivers and having a summ it level of about 1,450 feet high, may be rega rded as having the preference, in consequence establishin g navigation. For most r between the Gu lf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean , by that means escape from , very difficult and even of its dangerous n a v. excellent map the public are highly indebted to our eminent geographer. , nal I MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The srt'es of Cotton at Liverpool yet relay were es timated at 30,000 ba . e- , , of which 21,500 were taken on speculation. The sales comprised 24,000 American ; 500 Brazil, at 6id. to 7d.; 500 Egyptian, at qd. to Bd.; 3,500 Surat, at 4id. to 5 1 0.; and 50 Sea Island, at lid. to is. 2d. per lb. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of American were -141. to FL, and Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat id. per lb. higher.—Railway Shares were firm. The accelerated pace at which the involved affair cf Mexican finance is explained and re-explained, may render it somewhat difficult to the less-watchful bond holder to follow the correspondence, and arrive at a just conclusion, but we think we can hold out a reason a'de hope of an early and satisfactory solution. Like all other investigations, the result must, in one sense be gainful, since the real state of the case will be ascer tained, and which, to us, appears promising, although matters are not yet positively established on a satisfac tory basis. Whether the meeting at the London Tavern now being held, will result in the formation of a new committe expressly to attend to the Mexican debt, a few hours will show, but it is certain that, from various causes, a large number of the bondholders are dissatisfied with the present administration, and that greater ac tivity, increased facilities for the obtainment of informa tion by the creditors, and other changer, will be requisite. If the bondholders would at once determine upon the appropriation of a few hundreds Fer annum, their work, either with the new or old committee, could be much better done; and long since, in railway comfanies for example, has it been discovered, that urq aid, underpaid„ or irregularly paid officials, are, for various reasons, the dearest. To keep our readers fully au courant of affairs, we subjoin an important le ter from Mr. William Parish Robertson, the late special envoy in Mexico of the English bondholders, and his announced secession from the old committee will not, perhaps, surprise those who were aware of the position in which he has lately stood towards his colleagues. We cannot but regard Mr. Robertson's decision as judicious under circum stances. The Equador creditors will likewise find mat er r f interest in the communication, which is as fol- ows.— Equatorian Consulate-General, London, Jan. 22 , ear Sir,—Your circular note of to-day informs me e committee will meet on Friday, the 25th, and 11 much oblige me by then laying this communi cation on the table.

A note has been addressed today by the com mittee to Colonel Facie, the financial agent of the Mexican Governmen', calling on him to deliver up funds towards the payment of Mexican dividend=, aed yet declining to recognise him in his official capacit; . 'Now, as Colonel Facto's appointment vas expressly sanctioned by a written assreement entered into by the Financial Minister of Mexico and myself, as Com missioner of the Mexican bondholders, I could but stultify my own deed by becoming a Tarty to a note ad dressed to Colonel Facio, denying the competency of his appointment. " 26. Having received, in my capacity .of Consul- General of the Equa for, new instructions from the pc a sent Executive of that st ire to continue my services here, and to endeavour to bring about an arrangemt nt of the foreign debt of the Republic, I have, after Leasure eh li beration, and in fulfilment of my duty, determined to ea!! shot tly a meeting of the Equatoral bondholders, with a view of requesting them to appoint a committee of their own, with which I can frankly co operate in carrying out the wishes of the Government which I represen'. You will accordingly please inform my late col eagues that I have to-day ceased to be a member of their body. " I remain, dear sir, your obedient humble servant, " WM. PARISH ROBERTSON. " A. Godfrey, Secretary of the General Committee of Spanish American Bond holders." The parties t' whom the fourth instalment of the rat xican dividend is dee are not likely, we hope, to be kept much longer cute f their money. Colonel Facie, the financial agent here of the Republic, has come boldly lore lard, and while proving what to us appears the dis crepancy in the accounts rendered at different periods by Messrs. Schneider to the Mexican Government, he promises unequive ally that if the late agents can show any fir claim against his Government it shall be dis charged, without being deducted from the sums re mitted for the creditors. Further explanation must ensue, and we hope speedily to announce that this part of the quo don is settled. As to the future prospects of the bondholders, with steady remittances, with the assurance of the support of Lord Palmerston, and with increased energy on all sides—for we gice the Mexican Goan:- went great credit for its exertions since the war—there is no reason to doubt of their being most cheering. The following is the letter of Colonel Facio : " Sir,—l feel it my duty, the Mexican Minister at this Court being on the Continent, to write a few lines in answer to the letter of Messrs. Schneider and Co., rub fished in the newspapers cf the 19th inst., which I re quest you to give place in your columns. "Messrs. Schneider and Co. say it is not true that they are provided with funds to pay the loath of the dividend due; but the following will prove that the state ments of the Finance Minister in Mexico, and of the Minister at this Court, are quite correct. " Messre. Schneider and Co. informal the Finance Minister, on the Ist of September, that the amount of the new bonds and certificates issued to that date was only 7,906,2071. The fourth 4. f the dividend due on this £49,413 15 0 sum is According to the ac count published, the said Mr ssre. Schnei der and Co. had, in April la:st 444,666 3 4 June remittance, per 1,631 7 10 Severn July do , per Thames 4,124 4 6 Nov. do., pa Calypso 261 12 10 Nov. dc., 'or Trent 6 ;944 610 Balance in favour of the Government £8,214 0 4 The Fit ance Minister was not mistaken when he said that Messrs. Schneider and Co. had sufficient money t, pay the fourth of the dividend due on the converted part of the debt, and ordered them to deliver t me the balance in favour c f the Government. " For the misconception and the serious error alluded to in the let er of Messrs. Schneider and Co., the Finance Minister is not accountable— " 1. Because on the Ist September Messrs. Schneider and Co. informed the Finance Minister that tlw amount of the new bonds and certificates issued to that date was only 7,906,2071., and three months afterwards (on the Ist Decernber last) they said it had been 10,040,9721/.; 2. Because they have insisted upon finishing the conversion, and upon paying the dividend on the whole debt, when tte only act of agency allowed them to per form was to pay the fourth due on the said 7,906,207/.; " 3. For the claims produced now, for the first time, of 2,132/. 15s. paid to O'Brien, Esq., and 1,2621. ss. Bd. for int , re.t on the Legation drafts. " But it will be seen that Messrs. Schneider and Co. still have sufficient money to pay the one-fourth of the dividend due: — Amount required for the payment of the remaining oho-fourth of the dividend £64,650 8 3 The balance unprovided for to complete that sum is said to be Chargeable against the last sum, viz., the commis sion Messrs. Schneider and Co. have charged on the whole dividend Bill paid to O'Brien, Esq. 2,132 15 0 Ditto interest on Legation drets Interest on 200,677 3 / 4 1. of Bonds not issued before the Ist of Sept., which Messrs.

" And supposing being admitted that their commis sion may be paid with the money belonging to the bond holders, the balance unprovided for to complete the pay ment a the one-fourth due will be thou only 1,901 ., instead of 10,367/. 13s. 7d. " The two bills included in their account cannot be paid with money belonging only to the bondholders, because the interest Messrs. Schneider and Co. have paid to the Government for the funds they had in their possession has been destiaed also to dividends. Those two bills, as well as any other lawful claim they may produce, shall be paid as soon as they present their accounts and deliver up to me the books and other papers belonging to the agency, according to the orders of my Government. " I remain, sir, your obedient servant, " F. FACIO, Mexican Financial Agent. " 32, Great Winchester-street, Jan. 22, 1550." We gave, a few days since, an extract from the re marks of a London share-agent, laudatory of the Cale donian Railway as an investment, without holding ourselves at all responsible fur his opinions, and dissent ing from them, in fact, as regards the guarantees. It is but fair to insert the follo win g rejoinder sent from Glas gow, by a party of high standing: — I see a sta.ement 'in the Money article of The Sun, as coming from a party connected with the share market, stating that Caledonian shares were good to purchase at even double their present price, .ice, in consequence of the increased traffic. As this is calculated to:mislead, I would point out to the editor of the Money articles the following extract from the report of the committee of investigation respecting the:e shares, as published ten days ago:— "' lu concluding these observations of this branch of the inquiry (viz., the guarantees given to other lines as sanc tioned by Act of Parliament), your Committee ex press their deliberate conviction that the fate of the original stcck depends materially upon a reduction be ing effected in the terms of the guarantees and other preferable claims, for if they are sustained the entire earnings of' the line will not he sufficient to defray them, and all parties cone, rned will be involved in serious liti gation and loss.'—Report, p. 7. " Is it to be expected that parties holding shares gua ranteed by Act of Parliament, most of whom purchased after the Act was obtained, and with whom it was no bargain that if there was nothing h fe to the Caledonian shares, that they would provide a dividend for them, of is it to be expected that they twill give up any prtion such guarantees? Moot assuredly not. Beside?, how is the enormous sum of floating;debt contracted beyond the Act of Parliament to be paid? No one has answered or can answer this."

Within a fortnight Parliament will have re-assem bled, and then, besides many questions of vital im portance to the community at large, various matters of a less general interest will come in rapid succession under the consideration of the Legislature. Among the latter we are sanguine that the great wrong done to an officer in the military service of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND—a de plorable violation of the laws of this country, and of the abstract principles of justice to which we our selves have already referred—will not be overlooked. Oar solicitude would unquestionably have been most earnest had the evil influenced alone the fortunes of this afflicted gentleman ; but seeing that, through him, the status of the whole British army is assailed, our anxiety that such an enormous error should be recti fied ie, if that be possible, considerably enhanced. Hid the lamentable misprisions of justice to which we are here making allusion affected simply and ex clusively the position of a single one of the sub jects of her Britannic MAJESTY, we could not, we repeat, have remained indifferent to a circumstance so glaringly fraught with disgrace to the whole body poli tic. The recollection of the memorable remark uttered by one of the renowned men of antiquity-1110e se ununt civent sereare, roam mule hostes occidere—would have been sufficient of itself to provoke our advocacy of the violated rights of a fellow-countryman, and must inevitably have elicited from all quarters of the empire words of horror and indignation. Nevertheless, beyond the cruelty evinced toward a solitary unit in the population of Greet Britain, the sentence of the recent Court martial at Guernsey has betrayed a capacity on the part of those tribunals to disorganize the whole ma chinery of the martial power of England. To pre vent the recurrence of such atrocious decisions, to re instate an officer wrongfully and ignominiously dis missed from the army of his SOVEREIGN, to dissipate for ever these scarcely resistible incitements to in subordination —must be the aim, the desire, and the resolution of every individual alive to the calls i f justice and of patriotism. Hence it is that we are induced to recur betimes to a subject already com mented upon in these columns at some length, and which must, before many weeks have expired, he formally brought under discussion in one, if not both, of the Howes of Parliament. One fact, which has been conspicuously demon strated by the late occurrence in the Channel Islands, would, if considered alone, be ample justification for a demand for the re-7rganization of military juris prudence —namely, that "in the existing state of the law the unfortunate accused has no means of knowing the sentence which has crushed him until it has been ratified (by the Crown), carried into execution, and therefore irrevocable " Surely, than this nothing more violently opposed to the commonest principles of justice could be contrived even under the most Dionysian despotism. Toat a prisoner should be deprived of all the chances of remonstrance until such time as any remonstrance whatever is worse than futile, is a system in direct contravention of all the dogmas of British jurisprudence. It is to effect the abolition of such an execrable scheme of punishment that the energies of every true-hearted citizen in the land should he directed. It is in the hope of aiding in the removal of this crying evil from the military code of Great Britain that we have written, that we write, that we shall continue to write with such unintermittent, unaffected, and undiminishable earnestness. That this evil will be removed, and that, moreover, very speedily, we are sanguine, with the assistance of our hereditary legislators and our na tional representatives. Having, in our previous observations on the case of the unfortunate C iptain of the 16:h Regiment, al luded in emphatic terms of admiration to the ela borate " Letter," addressed in his behalf to her Most Excellent Majesty Queen VICTORIA by Mr. WAR REN, we may be permitted to instance the force of his arguments by one or two very forcible quotations from its introduction. After intimating at the outset the want of all validity in the proceedings about to be submitted to the attention of the SOVEREIGN, our author avers— " Th ose proceedings, I uncle take to show were w rong from Leginning to end: wro n g in substance, wrong in form; wrong in fact, wrong is law; wrong in the conduct of the inquiry; wrong in th finding; r wronz in the sent -ace; wrong in carrying it into effect; wrong in the recording of the proceedings; wrong in the cos— firmation uf them Is fore being submitted for your Ma jesty's approval; wrong in the rejection c f an appeal trom that c onfirmation; wrong, in fact, in everything, but intention." Nor, we are bold to sey, will one dissentient voice be raised against the accuracy of this damning cata logue of blunders. Throughout the whole of the 262 pages of this enthralling and masterly pamphlet the evidences adduced in proof of the veracity ef this startling preliminary assertion are copious and con clusive. Every judgment will recognise the over whelming force of the whole exposure, every eye will perceive at a glance the excessive hardship of every step in these deplorable transactions, every heart will revolt from the crookedness of each detail of the proceeding?. With these touching sentences the author pre ludes his generous and dignified appeal to his SO/ . 13E1160 : "An officer, an accomplished gentleman, of ancient and honourable family, in the very flower of his age, after having devoted thirteen years to the faithful and zealous service of your Majesty, in almost every quarter cf your world-wide dominions", has been ignominiously ex pelled from that service, branded as a liar. He stood on trial, before his brother-officers, with as high vouchers to character, as could have teen presented, had it un fortunately been rendered necessary by such a casualty as has befallen him, by any one cf themselves. He NI ai, moreover, the eldest son of a general officer, who lately descended to his grave with honour, after half a century spent in the service of three of your Majesty's prede cessors; leaving behind him, as his eldest son, the un happy gentleman to whose case I earnestly implore the attention of your Majesty. His venerable father sleeps calmly in the dust, from which he might start with horror, could he know of the blight which had falle.a Upon the ancient name inscribed upon his tomb. He ,had left that came—the unsullied honour of his house— 'd be in like manger sustained by his eon , his succour in our Majesty's service, and the head and representative of his family. That son is himself a father —the father of lovely children, and one of them, a son: but the mere sight t. f them is agony to him; for they bOtr ' alas' a no w dishonoured name, and are the nnconscious AT spring of a ruined outcast." having so announced to her MAJESTY the nature of that great wrong which he, as "a free, fearless, but loyal Englishman," beseeches her to redress, through the plenitude of her royal authority, the writer forcibly calls to the remembrance of the Queen of ENGLAND two precedents of such inter ference on the part of the MONARCH, precedents " recorded in glowing language by the late Lord ERSKINE." Before, however, entering into a more detailed examination of the occurrences out of which the recent proceedi n g s emanated, Mr. WARREN scrupulously disclaims any desire to attach blame to any individual in regard to intention. In truth, even the principal portion of his condemnation, apart from all charges of ill-intention, are directed indi vidually against her MAJESTT'S late Judge Advocate- General, whom he very naturally regards as one iedifier ently qualified to direct any such proceedings, having, shortly before his retire ment from the bar, practised h not in the corn • mon law courts, but in those of equity, which are concerned with questions relating to property only, and have to deal not with 'viva voce but:with written In our impression of Monday we made a passing comment on two articles in the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews on the subject of the massacres at Dolly's Brae in July last, on the occasion of an Orange procession, and the policy of the Irish Go vernment in reference to it. Of the facts, sentiments, and reasoning of the writer in the Edinburgh Review —a periodical beyond the suspicion of any sympathy with rebels or Ribbonmen—we will only say, they are the echo of.our own, frequently put forwar3 through the columns of this journal since that fatal occurrence took place, and we have only again to recommend its perusal to all who feel anxious to be fully and truly informed on the subject. But with the writer in the Quarterly we have a word or two more. And first we would take leave to examine his fitness to discharge the duty he has assumed, for he professes to " believe himself as im partial a judge in this case as it is possible that one attached to the broad and general principles of the British Constitution can be." His impartiality appears to be as qualified and con ditional as the loyalty of Orangeism—his notions of the broad principles of the British Constitution ap- pear critically to coincide with those of the Orange men, who believe that this Constitution was especially framed for their exclusive benefit, and who shout that the laws are infringed, the Crown in danger, the empire overthrown, and threaten to withdraw their support from the Executive, if but a Jew, ts Quaker, Dissenter, or Catholic be admitted even one step within the pale of the Constitution. A foreigner, or one unacquainted with the peculiar phraseology of the political school to which this writer evidently belongs, on reading the extract which we have above quoted, would be somewhat puzzled to discover the reason why an" attachment to the broad and general principles of the British Constitution" should awaken, in the writer's own mind, any suspicion as to his fitness to impar tially examine a question affecting the interests c.f . any class or classes of his fellow-subjects. Mut it should be known, that Orangemen and their advo cates understand the " broad and general principles of the British Constitution" to mean no more than what is called in Ireland "Protestant Ascendancy"—that is, the domination of a paltry faction over the great majority of the people ; the monopoly of the loaves and fishes, to the exclusion of all who differ from them—and that is, all that is rational and respectable in the land—in religious and political sentiments. This writer, while trying to delude his readers into a belief in his impartiality, makes an avowal which, we think, entirely disqualifies him from any claim to the character of a fair or candid censor in the case. He makes an admission which clearly shows that he is not free from those prejudices, and that he wants that indifferency which should form the essen aids of a fair and impartial judge. His own words are, "That his feelings are far, THOUGH NOT EQUALLY, distant from the extreme of either party." Now, we care not to which side he incline ; his own admission destroys his claim to impartiality. He declares that he is no Orangeman, yet he leaves no grounds to doubt to which extreme his political and religious notions flow, and that too with no very moderate current. Our readers will not find it diffi cult to anticipate what sort of moral structure has been raised by a writer of such confessed and avowed predilections and prejudices. The whole article is a tissue of unchristian sentiments, distorted facts, and false reasoning; a melancholy instance of how im potent and feeble even - great talents become when they are prostituted to the purposes of faction. The very first paragraph, which we transcribe, de serves our most indignant condemnation. He says— . " The collision of the Orangemen and Ribbonmen near Castewellan in the county of Down on the 12th of last July—much to be regretted for its immediate results— has become additionally and more extensively important from the consequences which the indiscretion, to give it the gentlest term. of the Irish Government has entailed on the original misfortune, and from the serious ques ' dons of both constitutional la w and policy, which titre been by this and several other affairs of a like tendency forced upon public attention." We scarcely believed that in the British empire one human being could be found so heartless as to sully the pages of a respectable periodical by such un feeling sentiments. What were the " immediate re sults" which he slurs over with so slight a feeling of regret as to weigh almost as nothing in the ba lance against an act of " indiscretion " by the Irish Government? Will it be believed that these results, so lightly referred to, were no less than the wrecking and pillaging of property, the burning of houses, and last, and most horrifying in this cata logue of crime, the cold-blooded murder of innocent childhood and feeble old age ? JOHN SWEENY, an idiot, was found on the road with his skull battered to pieces ; PAT Kiao was taken out of his house, stabbed and beaten to death ; ANNE TRAYNOR, a woman seventy years of age, was cruelly beaten, and died soon after; and three other women, one of them badly wounded, would have been burned in their houses were they not recued by the police. In reference to KING'S mur (lee we shall give the evidence of one of the wit- nesses : " I was in the house when the door was brolea, and my uncle Pat King killei : the house filled in with Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived. The Chamber of Deputies on the 16th rejected, by a majority of 150 to 87, the proposition of Senor NocEDAL, to restrict the operation of the Bill autho rising the Ministers to levy taxes to the month of March only. Oct the 16th the Chamber debated en amendment of M. Itlonorr, declaring that the Govern ment should be authorised to levy the taxes subject to the condition that a tax of 10 per cent ad valorem should be placed on wines and brandies, instead of the octroi duties; that the expenses of the depart ments of war, finance, and the interior should he lessened by 100,000,000 reals, and that 50,000,000 reals should be devoted to public works. M. MORON was speaking when the post-office closed. It was not doubted that his amendment would be rejected. At the commencement of the sitting the Chamber adopted, without discussion, the following Bill rela tive to railways : " While waiting for the approbation and the sanction of the Bill on railways, presented by the Government, the latter may make or ratify provisional concessions, and in addition to the advantages, franchises, and ex emptions accorded by former decrees, guaraut e an int( - rest f 6 per cent., and 1 per cent. for the sinking fund of the capitals, p'sced and to bo placed in the railways in course of construction, or which may be to be con structed, on the fallowing conditions:-Ist.

A letter from Berlin of the 18th states that the difficulties which bad arisen between the ICING and the Chambers relative to the modifications in the Constitution demanded by his MAJESTY had not only not been settled, but had become more complicated. Great anxiety prevailed at Berlin. M. RADOWITZ, one of the members of the Central Commission of Frankfort, had been summoned to Berlin by telegraph, to advise in the crisis, and General PEUCHER had been named to replace him. The Austrian Government published on the 15th the Constitution of the province of Silesia. The Duke of NASSAU arrived at Vienna on the 15th to visit his sick brother, and it was said that the King of HANOVER would visit that city in the spring. According to the Augsbur Gazette, another con- According stitution is about to be conferred on Germany—Ba varia, Wirtemburg, Hanover, and Saxony having, in conjunction with Austria, agreed on the fun damental bases of oue to be promulgated by them jointly.

In the Duchies great agitation prevailed. In the Chamber of Deputies at Kiel a motion had been made, and warmly supported, to break of negotiations with Denmark, and to march the army of llolstein into Schleswig. At Angelo a battalion of the Swe dish troops had to suppress a revolt. The pea sants refused to pay taxes except to the Provio - - , vernment at Kiel. HOLLAND. A letter from the Hague, of the 18th, states, that the difficulties which had arisen with respect to the marriage of the Hereditary Prince of SWEDEN with the Princess FREDERICA. of the Netherlands have been removed by the intervention of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and that Count LIORNTSJERNA, Aide-de- Camp of the King of SWEDEN, had a rrived at the Hague, to cause the formal affiancing of the Prince and Princess. lONIAN ISLANDS. We have received Corfu journals up to the sth. The Paris states that the electoral law, modified so as to be in accordance with the changes introduced into the Constitution, has been adopted by the Senate and the Chambere, and that the Constitutional re forms are to be submitted to the approval of her Ma- 14% 69 GI 6 , L ,9 ..... t4 li ...... 9 / / / / 0 ... 1r 4 t11
