" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man nerves, and Smythes."—Observer.

At a late hour last night, or rather at an early hour this morning, the Attorney-General brought forward the promised resolutions respecting Baron ROTHS CHILD'S claim to sit and vote in the House of Com mons as one of the chosen representatives for the city of London. By "an ingenious device " the an nouncement of the Ministerial intentions was post poned until all the votes on the estimates had been taken, and the amount of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S annuity settled. Persons on all sides of the House were anxiously looking for information on the sub ject which is now regarded as of paramount importance in Parliament, and by the country, but their natural curiosity was permitted to remain unsatisfied for many hours. It was understood that the pro posed resolutions would have been printed in the morning along with the votes, but, alas ! there was nothing on the subject to soothe the anxious expec tants. It was a " hiatti4 valde defiendus." Then it THE SUN, was announced that the resolutions " would be laid on the table in the course of the evening ;" but hour after hour waned away, vote after vote was taken, until the House resumed, and the chairman reported progress. Then at length the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone gave expression to the general feeling. On the motion that the House should re'olve itself into Committee on the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S Annuity Bill, Lord DUDLEY STUART reminded the Premier of his promise and asked for its performance. But the Whigs are masters of " dodgery." The lamented "Mr. Daw kins" himself was not a greater adept in the various shifts and evasions that so justly entitled him to the title of " Artful." It would not quite do to offend the Liberal party before that question was decided. His Royal Highness might otherwise have to deplore the indiscretion of his allies. - While the matter remained in suspense, no person would be willing to throw down the gauntlet- Each hoped that the course " most conducive to the dignity and usages of the House" would be in accordance with his own particular views, and might, consequently, be more manageable, while a studied re serve was maintained. The forms cf the House were favourable to the concealment. The Speaker in formed the Noble Lord that "it was not competent to put a questio❑ before all the orders of the day had been disposed of." The Attorney-General maintained a strict and unbroken silence, although, according to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " quite ready to state the nature of the resolutions, when the Speaker informed him that he would be out of order in doing so at that time," It appeared, however, that the difficulty was not of an insuperable character, for no sooner was the ques tion relating to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE decided than the resolutions were brought forward without re monstrance or interruption, the Speaker remaining perfectly quiescent, although other " orders of the day were still to be disposed of." We leave the public to judge for itself as to the object of this not very creditable manoeuvre. As to the resolutions themselves, they are framed in the true spirit of " Whiggery." The Government is well acquainted with the value of the Machiavellian principle, " divide et impera." Lord Joust and his colleagues have continued in power by arraying the extremes on either side against each other; at one time receiving the support of one section, at another time of another, and thus propping up their own minority, which would speedily be defeated if left to their own unassisted exertions. The first resolution is, consequently, framed in order to catch the votes of the " Tories," of those bigoted and intolerant parties who are the unflinching opponents of civil and reli gious liberty, and who sigh for the good old times of penal statutes and restricticl\ and who look upon " dissent" from their own exclusive and narrow doctrines as little better than treason. On that resolution they will be opposed by every true Liberal, by every man duly qualified to give a proper interpretation of the statutes, and to decide a " j udicial question " according to the spirit and intention, and not to the mere letter of the law. And we have yet sufficient confidence in the repre sentatives of the people to say that, notwithstanding the efforts of their prejudiced and bigoted auxiliaries, notwithstanding the absence from town of many ho nourable gentlemen who have prematurely abandoned their Parliamentary duties, to entertain sanguine anti cipations as to the result, to hope that Baron ROTHS• CHILD, having taken the substance ofthe prescribed oaths in the manner which he declared to be most binding on his conscience—having merely refused a portion of the adjuration of that which was to be sworn by and not sworn to—will be admitted to all the rights and privileges to which his repeated selection by the constituency of the city of London so justly entitle him. The second resolution is intended to allay the in dignation of those who will be justly exasperated at the former, and who may in consequence be inclined to avenge the injury offered to the great principles of civil and religious liberty. It is a sort of pledge that the House will endeavour to repair the consequence of its own injustice ; that it will, " at the earliest opportunity in the next session of Parliament, take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve her Ma• JESTY'S subjects professing the Jewish religion ;- teat the matter will not be postponed to the close of the Parliamentary sitting, under the specious pre text that it will be snore likely to be satisfactorily settled than if introduced at an earlier period, and then quietly thrown over to another year. The Liberals will, of course, vote for this proposition, al though of little intrinsic value, for it is difficult to undfrrstand how the House itself, or the Ministers, could be more firmly bound than they had been at the close of the session of 1849, when the Lords a second time rejected the just and salutary measure of relief which had been twice carried in the Commons, and sent up, on each occasion, with all the prestige attached to a measure carried by a large and overwhelming majority of the popular re presentatives. It is equally certain that the Tory bigots, through whose aid it is hoped that the first resolution will be affirmed, will vote against the second. But, the parties being thus arrayed against each other, it is anticipated that the Ministerial " hangers-on " and the :" waiters on PROVIDENCE" will be sufficient to tura the scale in each case, and that both may be carried, although by very different auxiliaries. Another object may also be obtained. Another demonstration by the city of London is especially deprecated by Ministers. The re-election of Baron ROTHSCHILD would call forth an expression of public feeling very distasteful to those through wh , se negli gence and apathy the question was permitted to re main in suspense for an entire year. A greater triumph could not be afforded to the lordly Oh structives" than the absence of any Bill during the present session of the nature of those that hid been twice rejected in 1848 and 1849. It would be a vir tual confession of defeat, an unequivocal and undig nified retreat from the position which the popular branch of the Legislature had assumed, but from which they had been driven, disgracefully driven, by the hereditary lawgivers. What an encouragement would it afford for future resistance ? How would it justify the taunts and sarcasms of the leaders of the Opposition in the House of Peers ? The alternative is one to be most sedulously avoided and if the first resolution should, unfortunately, be affirmed, we earnestly hope that some Liberal Member will bring forward the Bill which, for this year at least, has been abandoned by Ministers. Thanks to the undaunted pertinacity of Mr. HUME as an economist, the House of Commons is not likely to lose a recollection of that extravagance which has so egregiously overstocked the Royal Navy with admirals. Nor is the detriment resulting to the ma ritime service from the present lamentable system of promotion likely to be overlooked from its insignifi cance. It has been our painful duty again and again to comment upon the evils arising from this scheme of wholesale advancement, and to demonstrate its pernicious influence upon the character of our great national profession. In consequence of certain mis apprehensions, we have thereby not unfrequently fallen under the displeasure of those who have mistaken our argument s aga i nst thus squandering the public m retrenchment. eve y rea a i n ly d parsimoniousoneys , for argumentsinfavour solicitous t o w it ness is, not the diminutionnreto extent of the P ar li amentary munificence to thePoy any Navy, but it s more j u di c i ous distribution and its more rational apportionment. At present that service hasr flag-officers enough to furnish three to every one of her MAJESTY'S ships of war—so that the republican tricolour of France might not inappropriately be hoisted, as a triple pennant, in honour of the Admiral of the Blue, the Admiral of the White, and the Admiral of the Red, with which each vessel might be provided. Unhappily, no in clination whatever is evinced by the Adminis tration to diminish the amount of this maritime in cubus. The recommendation of the Committee of 1849, that the number of admirals should, at the very lowest computation, be reduced from 150 to 100, re mains virtually unnoticed by the Administration. With a persistence that seems almost contumelious, the long list is preserved in a state of interminable amplitude. Immediately one flag-officer drops off another is created to make up the deficiency. Not a pause cccurs in the system of progression. The elevation is inevitable. It takes place no longer its the reward of merit, as the compensation LONDON, for long services, or as the distinction won by great achievements. It is rather the reward of a sound constitution, the compensation for physical decay, the distinction won by a good liver and an excellent digestion. Every post captain bides his time with a certainty that he has only to wait patiently for a certain period to attain his flag rank, and that before that period arrives not all the gallantry in the world, not all the victories he could gain by prowess or sagacity, could transform him into an admiral. Ills course is clearly marked before him. What he has to do in order to reach the desired dignity is, not to exercie his abilities in the service of his country, but simply to have an eye to the health of his own body, to keep out of the hands of the physician, to pay some attention to diet, and by all rational precautions to avoid an in troduction to the undertaker. If he can manage to rub on in this fashion, somehow or other, loitering along the promenades of some agreeable watering place, and occasionally running up to the metropolis to lounge in his club, or to stroll down to the Admiralty, he may count upon being ultimately gazetted among the list of flag-officers, according to the prescribed system of rotation. That the consequence of any such undis criminating plan of promotion should prove to be most pernicious, is assuredly anything but surprising. The vigorous conduct of the navy remains perpetually obstructed—its highest posts of command bring yielded to old age rather than merit, and selection ceasing on the threshold of that very rank which most of all demands caution in its bestowal. Whoever may have observed our previous remarks upon this grievance will be sufficiently aware already that we are solicitous to inflict no injury or injustice whatever either upon the present flag-officers, or upon the immediate aspirants for the dignity of admirals in the Royal Navy of England. All the retrench ment we require is a retrenchment depending upon a graduated lapse of promotions. Instead of maintain. ing the old blundering system intact, instead of making an immediate advance upon every individual demise, we would see the progress of promotion to the rank of admiral retarded to one in every three deaths until such time as the cata logue of flag-officers should be reduced to within certain prescribed limitations. Unless some such effort at amelioration be contrived the service will continue subject to this calamitous detriment. Until an endeavour, moreover, of this character shall have been adventured upon, it behoves every conscientious economist, and, what is yet more, every one interested in the welfare of the maritime force of Great Britai❑ to bring the subject again and again under the con sideration of Parliament. While the Liberal represen tatives of the people are thus striving to force this long-wished for reform upon the acceptance of the Government and the Legislature, the Liberal journalists of England should persist in reviving it perpetually to the remembrance of the population. It is by this system of peaceful but pertinacious opposi tion, and by this system alone, that innovations like the proposed innovation in the management of the Navy, can be_ effected. For ourselves, as journalists alive to the importance of the great national service, and conscious moreover, painfully conscious, of the ill-effects produced in that service by the existing scheme of administration, we have for a very considerable time advocated the reform above alluded to, a reform which we shall not cease to demand until it shall have been com pletely realised. Enormous advantages would of course accrue to the British Navy—advantages effectually securing its invigoration—if the rank of admiral, like that of captain, of commander, or of lieutenant, could be rendered in some degree dependent upon good ser vices and brilliant achievements. Nevertheless, while convinced of this, we are so earnestly solicitous that the improvement upon which we have been expatiating should be effected with as little delay as possible, that we set aside that branch of the question, for the time, through an anxiety that it might enhance the diffi culties standing in the way of innovation. When the number of admirals shall have been reasonably reduced, through the intervention. of the Legislature, then, but not till then, will it be advisable to consider the principles that should be acted upon in the man ner of their promotion. Of ultimately witnessing that diminution we are still sanguine, notwithstand ing the obsti❑acy evinced upon the matter by our ad ministrators, and our hopes in this regard are attri butable not less to our sense of the conspicuous nature of the grievance than to our confidence in the judgment of the Legislature. CASE OF THE BARON DE ROTHSCHILD. Mr. Hume this morning laid on the table of the Home of Commons the following amendments, which he in tends to move to the Government resolutions on Monday next:— " That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild, M.P. for the city of London, having, as directed by the House, taken in the manner most binding on his conscience the oaths of allegiance, of supremacy and of abjuration, with the exception only of the words at the end of the oath of abjuration, on the true faith of a Christian,' cannot be liable to any other penalties than those set forth in the statutes relating thereto, to be imposed only by a court of law. " That the House will, at the commencement of the next session of Parliament, take into its serious consi deration the oaths administered to Members ot Parlia ment at the table of the House; and more particularly the oath of abjuration, with a view to meet the caie now bt.fore the House; and to make all the oaths mere consistent with the changes that have taken place since the passing of the Act enacting the same." BARON ROTHSCHILD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Resolutions proposed by the Government on the subject of the representation of London will un doubtedly be found in another part of your paper. It is unnecessary to expatiate on the feelings with which they will be viewed by the public. The question which now occurs, is whether it is not a mockery of God and of all religion, to concede the point that a man has legal right to be sworn on the Old Tes tament, and establish it by allowing him to take two so lemn oaths, and then to stop him in the presence of God and the holy angels, by demanding words of him incon sistent with the concesbion previously made in the bight of God, and which it would be voted a blasphemy and a falsehood if he were then and there to utter. Put the supposition, that the Member for London uttered the words "on the true faith of a Christian," after being solemnly allowed to take two oaths and the substance of a third, in the character of a Jew. The extort of the dilemma will then be seen, in which the House will place itself, if it does not pluck up spirit to assert its right of judging from beginning to end, of what is the substance of the Oath, and what the form. Nothing can be more certain than that the Legislature did not mean that the words "on the true faith of a Christian " should not be changeable, but the book sworn on might. When one, therefore, was declared to be changeable, the other el as. The House of Commons has swallowed the body of the camel, and is sticking at the ears. There is stilt time for the Member for London to take the oath " on the true faith of a believer in the Old Tes tament;" which is what the house has virtually ad mitted him to do, and the rest is solemn quibbling. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. A LAYMAN. London, 2 August, 1810. ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.— Several of the directors and friends of the London branch of the above society dined on Wednesday evening at the Free masons' Tavern, for the purpose of arranging plans for bring ing the destitute condition of the Highland peasantry and fishermen before the public, and promoting the industrial im provements of the society. Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D., presided, supported by Sir Evan Mackenzie, Bart., of Kil coy ; Captain C. Forbes, of Aslown ; Charles Mackenzie, Esq., of Scotsburn ; George Bain, Esq., Honorary Secretary Highland Society of London, &c. &c. The importance and efficiency of the society's operations were fully recognised, and the company pledged themselves to continued exertions in its behalf.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 4,000 American, 3,000 Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The market dose d firmly, and prices were fully supported.—The Share Market was quiet at rather easier quotation. The sales in the. Produce Markets this week have been moderate, but they have not been on speculation but for the immediate wants of consumption. Sugar has rea liz,d rather higher prices, Coffee has been quiet, tr,d Rice less in request. Cotton, since the early part of the week, has commanded a bri,k sale, responding to the activity that has arisen at Liverpool, and is i per lb. dearer. The following is a statement just received from Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, of Manchester, respect ing the trade of the clothing districts:— " If last week, which was of a depressed and inactive character, with a feeling decidedly in favour of the pur chaser, be excepted, this market from the commence ment of the month to its close has b' en marked by cen siderable animation, and has resulted in an extent (,f business hardly exptcted, considering not only the maintenance of the rates of the previous month, but the realiz.tion of a farther and material advance upon both Cloth and Twist. The de. mand, which with an exception or two hes been very general, has left the market bare of goods and yarrs with many manufacturers and spinners producing to contract. An advance, varying from sto 10 per cent. upon some numbers of Twist, which will amount to 13 per cent., has been gradually established, end can with out much difficulty be realite.l. Buyers for the coml• try trade have opera'ed very freely arid extensively again during this month." The Banker's Magazine notices the calling in of the Dutch gold coin in the following terms:— "From the 22d Jure last, the Dutch 5 and 10 guilder gold pieces ceased to be a legal tender. The Bank of the Netherlands gave silver coin in exchange for them from the 17th to the 22d June. From that time up to the 30th of July they were only to be taken in payment of duties, and after the 30th of July they no longer circulate, except as gold coin sub ject to the price of gold. It will be remembered that the law ;authorising this measure, but which did not specify the period at which it should take pl ac e, was adopted on the 17th of September last. Since 1319 the amount coined in five and ten guilder pieces has been equal to about fourteen and a halt mil lions sterling, but it is believed that not more than two or three millions will now he presented for melting." The Hamburgh mail with Friday's accounts gives the quotation for bills on London steady at 13 7. At Amsterdam on Wednesday Dutch Stock was quiet, at 571 for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Peruvian Bonds are higher, and in demand. The English Stock Market is again rather flat, and the business done has been extremely limited. Consols have been quoted 96i to for Transfer, and 9q- to 3 for Account. The New Three. and-a-Quarter per Cent-. have been 99 to f. The intelligence from Denmark and Ger many stillcauses some apprehension that hostilities will be actively pursued. Batik Stock has been firm, at 211 to 212. Exchequer-bills have realised 675. to 705., and India Bond 89s. premium. The meeting of Mexican bondholders yesterday went off as well as could have been expected, seeing the disappointment felt at the fresh difficulties that have arisen. Colonel Facio, as we stated a day or two since, is not in a position to authorise the payment of the money in the Bank, and the only hope of ulti mate justice is from the mission of Mr. Falconet, for whose expenses about 6,5001. have been advanced by the committee and a private bondholder. The Foreign Investments have been very passive; also Mexican Bonds have been marked 29/ 3, and Peruvian 32 to 1. Buenos Ayres stock has been 553 to 561, and Brazilian 921; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57k to I. Railway Shares are not quite so good, but there have not been extensive sales made. Foreign shares are steady, except the Luxembourg, which have fallen from 2i to 11, owing to the decision by the Belgian Third Chamber that the company is entitled to no compensa tion, and will forfeit its " caution moue)" if it dues not complete the line.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. The fresh arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week, coastwise, have been confined to 1,910 quar ters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. Te-day several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer, but the actual supply in the bands of the factors was cum • paratively small. The attendance of both town and country buyers were limited, and the few sales of Wheat of home produce, were at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday, without effecting a clearance. Up wards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to band. That grain met a very inactive inquiry, and in some instances the quotations were almost nominal. No English Barley at market, but the supply of foreign was on the increase. Malting qualities ruled steady, at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little doing. The show of Malt was somewhat large. All kinds were a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in value. Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward, but the supply of foreign exceeded 34,000 quarters. Good dry qualities sold at previous quotations, but damp parcels were lower to purchase. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Oats. Malt. I Flour. Wheat. Barley. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

The attendance of buyers being tolerably numerous, the primest Scots, Devons, and Herefords, &c., moved off steadily, at fully Monday's' prices. In all other breeds very little business was transacted, at barely late rates. The numbers of Sheep being considerably in excess of those exhibited on this day se'nnight, the Mutton trade ruled extremely inac tive, and the late advance in the quotations was with difficulty supported. Prime small Lambs were scarce, and quite as dear. Otherwise the Lamb trade was heavy. For Calves, the supply of which was good, the inquiry was far from active, but we have no decline to notice in prices. Pigs very dull. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from 141. to 18/. each, including their small Calf. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - - The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock.

On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said, that as the Bill in volved forfeitures and penalties, it should have originated in the House of Commons, and not in the Lords, and as the present Bill was first introduced in the Lords it ought to be rejected. The SPEAKER was of opinion that the Bill should be rejected, and another measure brought in. Lord J. RUSSELL thought after what had fallen from the Speaker it would not be advisable to proceed with this Bill. The Bill was then laid aside by order of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL then asked for leave to bring in a similar Bill. Mr. HUME said he had come down to the House prepared tl vote against the measure, and he thought the Government ought to state the grounds on which they proposed to extend the provisions of the Bill to Ireland for a further period. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he bad no objection to state the reasons which induced the Government to pro pose the continuance of the Act. It was a gratifying circumstance that he was not able to point, as was done when the original Bill was introduced, to a long list of crimes and outrages.—(Hear.) On the contrary, the eoudition of Ireland as regarded crimes and outrages had greatly improved since the Act was passed.—(Hear.) Still there were circumstances which made it necessary that they should not deprive Ireland of the benefits of the measure. The two objections which had been urged to the measure were, that it was of a coercive character, and would not answer the object for which it was intro duced. Now neither of those prophecies had been ful,- filled; on the contrary, it had not proved to be a severe measure of coercion to any party except evil doers, while it bad been completely efficient in checking crimes and outrages.—(Hear.) The judges had at the last as sizes alluded in gratifying terms to the pre sent tranquillity of Ireland, and there could be no doubt that a great part of that tranquillity was owing to the operations of this measure.—(Hear.) It would be an act of great indiscretion to allow arms to fall into the hands of improper persons, and permit the peace rind general tranquillity which prevailed to be dis turbed by the commission of fresh crimes. If there was anything to complain of it was that the provisions of the Bill had been administered temperately and firmly, and, he believed, wisely; and he would say again that it would be unwise on the part of the House to risk the existing tranquillity ; by removing from the Lord Lieutenant those powers which he thought it neces sary to be entrusted with, and through the continuance of which the tranquillity of the country might be placed on a more permanent basis.—(Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with a motion for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject. Colonel DUNNE said he would not oppose the Bill if the Government considered it necessary for the safety of Ireland, but he thought the period for its continuance should be as limited as was consistent with the public safety. Mr. S. CRAWFORD felt himself under the necessity of opposing the re-introduction of the Bill, which it would be recollected he opposed on a former occa• sion as being a measure of coercion that ought not to be placed over the people of Ireland. The extermi nations and clearances which had taken place in that country were the chief cause of the outrages and crimes committed by the people, and anti! the present system of tenant right was placed on a better footing much of the existing abuses would be continued. The Hon. Gentleman alluded to the letters of " G. S. 0." in the Times, for the purpose of showing the wretched condition of the peasantry (many of whom he found lying in ditches under the straw and rubbish of their demolished houses), and that a very large amount of their misery was occatioued by the wanton and unf,eling acts °fiend° wners. Government ought to take some steps to put down the evictions which are constantly wearing in Ireland before they called upon the House to pass a Crime and Out rage Bill, at a time when the country was perfectly tranquil. It was far better to remove the cause of . crime than to enact laws for its punishment. One of the most exciting causes was the absence of a tenant right recognized by the law, and he must decline to support any Bill of this nature till the landlord and tenant question had been satisfactorily set at rest. The late Sir Robert Peel, when he attempted to pass. a Bill of a similar character to this, /vas told by the Noble Lord at the head of the present Government that coercion Bills should not be sent to Ireland unaccom panied by measures of relief, and since that declaration carried the Noble Lord into power, he insisted upon his now acting upon it. He might, however, be told that already Government had done all they could to improve the cludition of Ireland, and perhaps he would be re minded of the Encumbered Estates Act, but though the improvement of Ireland ass the ohj.ct of that Act, it had served to promote evictions, and increase the miseries of the people. Filteen years ago the House recognized the right of Irish tenants to something in the shape of protection against his landlord, and repeated, though futile, had been the attempts since then to establish the right by legislative enactment. But, in the mean time, Arms Acts and Coercion Bills had been carried without end. The time had, however, arrived when a stop must be put to this mode of proceeding; and now that the hopes of the Irish tenantry had been excited by the promises of her Majesty's Government, he warned them that the pausing of this Bill in the place of some remedial measure would be productive of end less discontent and insurmountable difficulties. But, independently of all this, there was no necessity for this Bill; the country was tranquil, and comparatively free from extensive crime, why then persist in passing a bill of coercion!? The other day when it was proposed to renew the Alien Act, the House of Lords refused the motion; there was no necessity for it, they said, but if, hereafter, any occasion for it should arise, then would be the time to ask for its renewal. Now, why could not the same course be adopted with reference to this Bill? He con cluded by moving the following amendment;—That the distressed people of Ireland have borne unexampled suf- ferings, produced by famine, and by evictions from the soil, with praiseworthy submission to the laws; and it is Mee opinion of this House, that it is not just to renew and continue measures of coercion subversive of the consti- tutional rights of the Irish people as British subjects, whilst the redress of acknowledged grievances connected with the laws which regulate the relations of landlord and tenant recommended to the consideration of Parlia ment in her Majesty's Speech, has been neglected or postponed. Mr. REYNOLDS seconded the amendment. The Right Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Somerville) had on this occasion adopted a different course to that of his prede cessor in office when asking permission to suspend the constitution of Ireland, and to curtail the liberties of the Irish people. The habit on former occasions watt,to relate a lung list of crime and outrage; but the habit of the present Secretary for Ireland was to ask permission to re-enact the Act of the 110th December, 1847, and in doing so he said ho was free to admit he could give no list of crime and outrage. There were indications of such things, the Right Honourable Gentleman said, but he had not condescended to favour the House with any translation of the word in• dication. He (Mr. Reynolds) denied that there was any political disturbance in Dublin, or any agi. tation in Ireland at present. All agitation in Ireland was at an end; and because those pleasing re sults had followed the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir W. Somerville) came into that House, with about forty Members present, and demanded a suspension of the constitution of Ireland for four years, and the only excuse he gave was that Lord Clarendon had not abused the provisions of that Act. He (Mr. Reynolds) would ask her Majesty's Government if they had kept any of the royal promises they had made to the people of Ireland? Echo answered " No."— (Lifughter.) That might be an ec:.o in the Paddy Blake sense—(Renewed laughter) —but it was true, nevertheless. He submitted that this 13111 was an insult to the people of Ire land, whom the Queen had declared were loyal and a tached to her ; and the reward they were to get fur th 4 t loyalty and attachment was, the suspension of the constitution, which suspension would hand them os , r to the ten , .er mercies of whoever might represent the Queen in Ireland. He (Mr. Rey nolds) was n , I prepared to place the liberties of the poi , pie of Ireland in the hands of Lord Clarendon or any body wise. A man holding the office of Lord-Lieutenant was snide of flesh and blood, and, like other men, he might ahuse the powers which the law entrusted t o him—(Cris of " ar, hear")—and, therefore, the won o: Lord Cl,l. ndon ought not to have been troduced in connexion with this question. li e (Mr. Reynolds) asked in the name of common justice if Per 81bi.to siakthe offal. _ . a. d. to a. d, s. d. to s. d.

THE COB t, BLACKSOCK, AND PASSAGB RAILWAY. This railway has been reaping a splendid harvest this week. At a reasonable computation we venture to say that no less than from 12,000 tc,14,0( 14,0(0 persons have travelled up and down the line on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday last. One train held nearly 800 persons; and hundreds have been dis appointed at various hours. The directors are all smiles; and the very engines look gay and cheerful, especially one busy body little locomotive, that is perpetually trotting up and down, and making a great a-do. The fact is, the company are taking advantage of the fine weather, and are making hay while the sun stables. More power to them, we say._ Cork Examiner. „ ..... Hon. TEIE CHLRTER House —The Rig ht • F ox )Mule, M.P., Secretary at War, and a Carthusian by educa tion, was yesterday elected to fill the vacancy among the Governors of the Charter-house, caused by the lamented death of the late Right Hon. Sir R. Peel. INTREPIDITY.—We have great pleasure in record ing a noble act of heroism on the part of Dr. H. T. L. Roake, one of the physicians attached to the Seamen's Hospital ship, moored off Greenwich. This gentleman was on his way to shore, when the cries of a drowning boy f e ll i n hi s ear; VDr. Roake, without hesitation, plunged in, and succeeded in saving the life of the youth, making the second person this gentleman ha- saved from a watery grave. It is deserving of mention that at the time he was in full dress for a dinner party, which of course he was obliged to forego for the greater pleasure of saving a fellow creature's life. It is stated that the governors of the Dreadnought have resolved to present Dr. Roake with a gold watch of the value of 2 guineas.— Maidstone Journal.
