It is only necessary indeed to con temnlate the 132 sutiful piece of mechanism by which M. FOUCAULT h3g, within the last few weeks, suc cessfully demonstrated the rotation of the earth upon its own axis, to be assured that wonders are being momentarily brought to light, of which our fore fathers never dreamt even in the wildest soarings of their imagination. In alluding, moreover, to this exquisite fabrication of the French philosopher, we are by no means directing the attention of our readers to a matter beyond the reach of their own in quiry, seeing that the principle by which the pendulum is employed to show the correctness of one portion of the system constructed by NEWTON, by GALILEO, and by COPERNICUS, is being now daily explained with the utmost possible lucidity, by one of the popular and intelligent lecturers at the Polytechnic Institution. Having ourselves, only as recently as yesterday, listened to the prelection upon this most interesting subject at the above-mentioned establishment, we may be permitted to refer our readers to it with the more emphasis as a token of the accuracy of cur fore going observations. If anything else were required to evidence the truth of this remark, that novelties are being daily thrust upon public consideration, we might particularize a variety of extraordinary and in many instances very feasible schemes put forward by the more practical and energetic among the promo. ters of civilization. Every one remembers the pro jects of the lamented WAG uolisr—projects which after being severely tested by their indefatigable originator himself, have proved so peculiarly advantageous to the country at large, binding more strongly together the European and Asiatic portions of our gigantic do minions. Other suggestions tending in like manner to affect the interests of England most beneficially, though it may be by the adoption of very different routes of communication, have been thrown out since then by various intelligent students in geography and en gineering. Among these recommendations none are more deserving of scrutiny than those relating to the construction of a huge trunk railway across America, joining together the two great oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic. A lecture elucidating the nature of this stupen dous undertaking was delivered by Mr. ASA WHITNEY, before the members of the Royal Geographical Society, at King's College, on Monday evening, the remarks of the lecturer being immediately afterwards followed by a singularly important and animated discussion. In the course of this discussion it was observed by an engineer no less illustrious than Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON, that the only difficulty according to his view of the matter, as regarded a long railway, was one of a merely commercial character. After a statement so explicitly, so emphatically, and so de liberately expressed by the originator of the tubular bridge, it will be idle for any captious dissentient to babble about the physical impediments in the way of carrying the scheme hinted at into operation. According to another speaker, Captain FITZROY, the construction of a huge railroad through a wild and totally uninhabited coun try, such for example as the Hudson's Bay territory, would necessitate a lapse of time greatly detrimental to the undertaking as a commercial enterprise. But in opposition to this we would simply revert to the few words already quoted from the pithy comments of Mr. STEPHEN THE WEATHER.—SUN OFFICE, JUNE 12.

It appears, from the following article in the Ordre, that the Orleanists have determined to oppose the re vision of the Constitution : " The constitutional revision is generally desired by the country, and yet it is impossible. It is desired be cause the vices of the Constitution are flagrant, in a Re publican point of view, as well as in that of those who would prefer monarchical institutions. It is impossible, because all situations are disturbed; because there is a Government which, being neither monarchical nor re publican, having neither the advantages nor the sim plicity of a purely elective magistracy, announces the clear intention of perpetuating itself; and, if the testi mony of M. de Tocqueville, and many others, is to be credited, makes a large use of the facilities which the supreme direction of all the functionaries of the state gives it for attaining that object. Hence the hesita tions and resistances which are manifested. After a nega tive deliberation, on the result of which henceforth no doubt can be conceived, will the movement in favour of the revision be sufficiently general to dictate to the As sembly the resolution which a first time had been re fused? That it would, was an opinion which, fifteen days ago, was generally entertained ; but now, many of these illusions have fallen. Amongst the members of the majority, several, who are inclined to vote the re• vision, are at present convinced that the President of the Republic causes to enter into his plans of re-election eventualities which are menacing to the party of order, which party was denounced without distinction at Dijon as that of the ancie n r e g i me, as always ready to adopt repressive measures, but always refusing popular ame liorations—and these members will not allow themselves to be easily influenced. On the other hand, the two hundred Republicans or Socialists of the Left begin to employ themselves with success to balance the petitions for the prorogation of powers by petitions for the repeal of the law of the 31st 'clay. The probable result of these efforts, in a contrary sense, will be a pure negation. But even if the powers of M. Louis Bonaparte were to be pro rogued, or transformed, what would be done thereby if not to cause the preparation and justification of the early triumph of M. Ledru Rollin, of Barbes, or Caussidike? Parties would expose themselves to grave deceptions by rejecting, by a blind and systematic refusal, a wish which should be truly rational, spontaneous, and obstinately pursued. In that case, agitation driven back and com batted, would cause a conflict; but whether intending it or not, it would draw after it the legions of anarchy. This conflict, this tumult, under whatever pretext or form it may be caused, is precisely what should be avoided. The Assembly, without allowing itself to be frightened or deceived by vain demonstrations, and in keeping intact the authority of the laws, will take into account, if it bo prudent, the movement of serious opinion. Moderate men, on their part, will not take a revolutionary attitude. Let them be warned—if civil war commences, it will have no other end than the dictator ship of the masses, exercised one day by one chief of faction, on another by another, until the exhausting of all partite, or until foreign war." The Committee on the revision of the Constitution met on Tuesday, and nominated M. DE BROGLIE its president, and M. MOULIN, its secretary. In addition, it appointed a sub•committee, composed of MM. BAZE, CIIARRAS, DE MELUN, DE CORCELLES, and Duroua, to examine the petitions presented in favour of the revision. TEE SHARE MARKETS BurTian N.&XLWAYB. Railways. Aberdeen.. ..

The Assembly expresses a wish that, at the expiration of the Legislative Chamber, a Constituent Assembly shall be convoked in order to proceed to the total revision of the Constitution of 1848. " Art. 2. In expressing a wish for the total revision, he Legislative Chamber understands that the powers of the Assembly of revision shall be unlimited, and that the Assembly shall definitively establish the bases of the government and of the administration of the country. In consequence, the National Constitutent Assembly shall be in the first place called on to decide between the Republic and the Monarchy. " Art. 3. In the event of the Republic being con firmed, the Assembly shall decide whether the Legisla tive Power shall be delegated to two Assemblies; and whether the chief of the Executive Power shall not be elected ty the two Assemblies united. " Art. 4. In the event of the monarchy being adopted, the Assembly shall draw up and promulgate a constitu tional charter, the observance of which shall be sworn to by the Chief of the State on his ascending the throne. The Assembly shall then proceed, in the plenitude of the powers which shall have been delegated to it by the French people, to point out the person who shall be invested with the monarchical power to transmit it hereditsiily," The Journal du Havre states that the Minister of the Interior has extended the changes made in the passport system at Boulogne and Calais to Havre, and the other ports on the coast.

Of the sixteen smaller tribes, west of Djijelli, eight had already sub mitted, and the others had promised to do so imme diately. This decisive success has been secured with scarcely any loss to the French troops. The health of the soldiers was excellent, as on their return to Djijelli there were only eighteen sent to the hospital.

Cordially, though briefly, we would here express our coincidence with the opinion expressed by the Rev. C. Cr. NICOLA.; to the effect that Mr. WIIITNEY is altogether incorrect in asserting the greater facility of carrying the proposed railway through the United States than through the British territory.

Setting aside, however, all such preposterous objections, it must be admitted that, vast and bewildering from its magnitude though the project may appear on the first consideration, it is at the same time calculated to prove not only capable of realisation, hut certain also to confer upon the empire inestimable advantages of a pecuniary description. Nevertheless, enormous though these advantages would be certain to prove, the scheme ought not, as Major CARMICHAEL SMYTH very judiciously remarked, to be regarded alone as a route for commerce, but also, and peculiarly, as affording employment and facilities for the settlement of a large section of the population. :Con- sidered in this light, the proposed railway should be promoted not merely by the sagacious speculator and the intelligent promoter of commercial enterprises, but likewise, and in a remarkable manner, by every patriot and every philanthropist. With such fourfold solicitude have we watched the rise and development of all the ideas tending to this: railroad junction of the Pacific and Atlantic ; and with undiminished anxiety we shall continue to observe their progress until the dream of the theorist shall have been actually at- tempted to be realized by the skill of the engineer, INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) By telegraphic advices from Trieste of the sth instant, we are informed of the arrival at Suez of the Indian mail. The steamer Hindostan arrived at this place on the Ist instant with 85 passengers. Her dates are — Hong-Kong, April 23 ; Calcutta, May 3 ; and Bom bay, May 14. India was tranquil, but the western frontiers of the Punjaub were still threatened by the robber bands of the mountains in that locality. Ample reinforce ments had, however, been sent to the irregular troops which guard the mountain passes. The deficiency in the ai3eta of the North-West Bank is estimated at 80,0001. Rain and hail storms had been frequent from the north-west iu Bengal and Madras. The perpetrators of the thefts on the Bombay Oriental Bank have been discovered. The Money Market continues firm.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN GRAHAM DALTELL, BART. —We have to record the demise of this gentleman, who ex pired on the 7th instant, at his re,idence in Edinburgh, aged 77. The deceased was second son of the fourth baronet, by the eldest daughter of Nicol . Graham. Esq., of Gartmore. Sir John, who died unmarried. was well known in the literary and scientific world. In 1797 he was admitted an advocate at the Scottish bar. Ile was President of the So ciety for Promoting Useful Arts in Scotland, and was Vice- Presiden* of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland. He also had the honour of being Vice-President of the African Institute of Paris. Sir John was, author of several works on science and history, and of various articles in the" Eucy cloredia Britannica." In 1836 he rec e i ve d t h e honour of knighthood by patent, and in 1841 succeeded his brother in the baronetcy. He died unmarried, and is succeeded by his brother Robert, a colonel in the army. This family belongs to the county of Linlithgow, and claims to be heirs mrle of the ancient Earls of Monteath. The first Baronet was son of the celebrated General Dalyell, who raised the Scots Greys, and was Commander-in-Chief in the reign of Charles the Second. SPAIN. Madrid jcurnals of the 6th have arrived. It was not expected that the Chamber of Deputies would be finally Constituted before the 10th. GERMANY. The Aix -Chapelle Gazette states that in conse , quence of the demand of the Government of the pro vince, the Prussian Ministry has decided that English travellers, htving a regular passport, shall be admitted to the Prussian territory without the visa of a diplo matic or cotsular agent of Prussia being required. At the sitting of the Germanic Diet at Frankfort on the 7th, Count TutTx t the President, announced that Lord C)WLEY and M. DE TALLENAY had pre sented their credentials, the former, as ambassador of her Britannic MAJESTY, and the latter, as Mini s t er of the Fren c h Republic, to the Confederation. The Assembly htving heard the letters read, and found that they were perfectly en r4le, decided that it officially recognised these gentlemen, and authorised the Presidett to make to them the necessary commu nications oo the subject. A letter from Berlin states : " The Kikg of Holland has just conferred on M. Rauch the Cross of Chevalier of the Royal order of the Lion of the Netherlands, accompanied by an autograph letter, in wi.ich his Majesty congratulates that distin guished artist on the execution of the superb monument of Frederic IL, which has just been inaugurated at Berlin. Two grand fubliefeles are about to be given in this capital in honour of Af. Rauch, one by the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts, the other by all the native and foreign artists now in Berlin. At the former of these fairs there will be executed a cantata, written for the occasion and set to music by M Meyerbeer." A letter from Vienna of the sth says : " The Danish question was made the subject of con ferences at Warsaw and at Olmutz, but no resolution was come to. The Czar and Count de Nesselrode have formally declared against the adoption of Prince Chris tian de Gluek s b ourg by the King, and the entrance of all the Danish sionarchy into the Germanic Confederation. Russia regards the question of the succession to the throne as a family affair, and wishes that the line of o:denboure should have the preference; she agrees on this point With Austria. The question, however, of the entrance of the Danish monarchy into the Germanic Confederation presents a more immediate interest, and on this Ru&ia and Austria are not agreed." AFFAIR OE HONOUR.—A hostile meeting took place early on Tuesday morning, between Lieutenant S. AL Hawkins, of the 97th Foot, and Viscount Maldon, Royal Horse Guards Blue, the former attended by Mr. E. L. Denys, the latter by Captain Brownrigg. Lord Maldon received the fire of his advers a ry, and discharged his pistol in the air. Thus far the affair terminated. —Pos t. THE PRUSSIAN POST-OFFICE•—The Prussian Post-office has suddenly, and without notice, raised the postage on English newspapers more than threefold the former amount. It is as well to state that the postage of a London journal to Berlin is nearly three times the price of it. As the English postage on a foreign journal is only a half.. penny something should be done respecting this enormous difference. NORWAY. A letter from Christiana (Norway), 30th ult., says: COMPULSORY REPAYMENT OF LETTERS.—The whole of the postmasters in the kingdom are now allowed an immense stock of post age s t am p s o f a ll d esc riptions on credit, and they are compelled to ascertain daily that every letter receiver in their official districts has a sufficient supply on hand for the accommodation of the public. The value of the whole of th ese stamps, now furnished on credit to the various officials in the country, is not less than a quarter of a million of money. This plan has been adoptad preparatory to a ge neral measure being put in operation for the compulsory pre payment„ by stamps, o f a l l prepaid letters posted in the United Kingdom. The accounts to be kept with the country postmasters, in consequence of these regulations, will cause a considerable increase of business to the stamp department, but they will ultimately cause a material diminution of Post office labour. GOVERNMENT REWARD.— A reward of 501. has b een offered by the Government for the discovery of the armed party who fired shots into the dwelling-house of Michael Young, a —CriPtilre reader, residing at Cloneughili, nearrar6PLlSt9Yrn. The hen which the Storthing has authorised our Government to contract, in order to corer a part of the expenses of the construction which is about to com mence, of thenetway of railways of the Lake of Mjoesen, amounts to 1,200,0001. (thirty millions of francs), and will bear interest at 4 per cent. per annum. This loan has just been negotiated with the banking-houses of 5 610112 011 Leine, of Ilamburgh; and C J. Haaibro and Sons, of London, at the rate of 97. The previous loan contracted in 1845, and which was at the same rate of interest, the Government only obtained 92. This differ ence between the two rates proves that the credit of Nor way has Unproved abroad, and which can only be attri buted to the tranquillity which our country has enjoyed at home, while so many of the other states of Europe have been the theatre of such terrible convulsions."

The unexpected determination thus exhibited as tonished the PREMIER. He found that he could not reduce his SOVEREIGN to a mere cypher, and that " the traditions of office" should be dispensed with when vigorously and firmly resisted. This salutary lesson was taught to a First Lord of the Treasury, even in the " good old times," when rotten boroughs flourished and the prices of seats in the Legislature were as freely quoted in the market as Consols, Bank Stock, or rail way shares are at the present day. There was then, as there is at this moment, a public spirit that would have resisted, and successfully, every attempt at coercion or domi nation by any Parliamentary clique, however influen tial. If then, WILLIAM PITT in the heyday of power and vigour of intellect; could not control " opinion," or carry his own views into execution, despite the popular will, how can it be supposed that his suc cessors, men of very inferior abilities, could, under much less favourable circumstances, overcome diffi culties that foiled their great predecessor ? " The people" will not now consent to be bound or to sur render their judgments to any persons whatsoever, whether the present or quondam possessors of office. It would seem, however, as if Sir CHARLES WOOD supposed that the calm and deliberate decision of the popular branch of the Legislature, sanctioned and confirmed by the approbation of the community in general, could be controlled and set aside through the unreasonable and improper refusal of some parties to serve on the Committee of Inquiry into the mode of assessing and collecting the Property , and Income-tax. The vast experience, the won derful acquirements of the " Nestor of Fi nance" have suddenly acquired almost miraculous authority in the eyes of the Right Honourable Baronet. 'Without the help, aid, and assistance of Mr. HERRIES and the recusant Peelites, he (Sir CHARLES) could not possibly enter upon the investi gation. With the becoming modesty for which he is so celebrated he declared that " if he were to serve on the Committee he would find himself in a difficult position, being the only person having experience in financial matters on the Committee," and that " it would be impossible for him to do his duty to the public creditor unless adequately supported." If the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Stamford be really of such pre-eminent powers that nothing could be accomplished without his intervention, why is not the Government of the country surrendered into his hands and those of his colleagues ? The present Ministers have not only deeply felt, but they have acknowledged their weakness—openly and can didly avowed it to their SOVEREIGN, to both Houses of Parliament, and to the country. Nothing can he done, crede Sir CHARLES WooD, on the most im portant question that could be brought under the legislative notice, if Mr. HeartrEs refuses his assis ance. How easy then must it be for the Right Hon Gentleman to overthrow any Government ! It re. quires no actual defeat--no motion as to a want 01 ._ _ confidence or other direct proceeding—sufficient if the Member for Stamford abstain from taking an active part in the public business of the country. whether his absence be occasioned by a timely fit of the gout, or the " pressure of his public and private engagements," or, what is, perhaps, just as probable, a desire that he should have the matter altogether in his own hands when he can grasp the seals of office, without being fettered or re strained by any report of a Committee, particularly of one of which he himself had been a member. The Protectionists desire to abolish the property tax, because they believe that if that be abrogated the exigencies of the Exchequer will re quire the imposition of duties on articles of primary necessity, and amongst th em the resuscitaT . . . . . . _ :ion of their much loved " bread tax." According to ,heir views, anything in the shape of direct taxation [s to be eschewed ; and therefore the more objecticnable and the more inequitable the mode of assessing and levying the charge the better, as it is the more likely to excite the dis- gust and indignation of the people, and to be con demned by their representatives. On the other hand, Sir CHARLES WOOD wishes to retain the charge, but he loves it for its very imperfections, and if materially improved it would lose favour in his sight. He has therefore given an exaggerated notion of the evil to be occasioned by the refusal of Mr. HERRIES and the Peelites to serve on the Committee, desirous of evading the v pro mised inquiry, but not seeing that he is thus playing the game of his opponents. 'We believe, however, that the country would greatly prefer such an inquiry being carried on before men of sound common sense, than before a body of practised red-tapists, whose intellects were tied dow n by specified rules, which they regarded with superstitious reverence, and which prevented them from taking enlarged and comprehensive views on any subject. The CuaNcELLog of the EXCIIEQUER him self will be a sufficient obstacle to any great improvement, and it will be a consummation devoutly to be wished for, if he should indeed be " the only person having (official) experience on financial mat ters serving upon the Committee." Nothing new under the sun, is one among those coxco mical aphorisms which, considered according to their popularly regarded signification, arc b e i ng almost every day dis p roved, now b y some enter prizing speculat or, now by some scientific experi mentalist. It is of course true enough, and obvious enough into the barga in, that the laws of Nature, being immutable in themselves, are the same now that they were at the first instant of creation, and that consequently nothing can therefore be termed m in eaning new according to the more recondite acceptation. But to say that there is nothing new in the vulgar Tdiscoveries of the phrase, is little less then an absurdity anage sufficient tonit etur remarkable e for so many marvellous and b electric telegraph alone would be a illustration that marvels hitherto have started into life in the pre- I AT Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 500 Surat, were taken for export, and 500 American on speculation. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at bid. to 74d.; 100 Bahis, at 61cl. to qd ; 150 Egyptian, at bid. to 71d.; 1,000 Surat, at 2id. to 41d.; and 20 Sea Island, at 11d. to Is. per lb. The market closed firmly with American nearly id. per lb. higher.—Railway Shares were firm at slightly advanced rates. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 38s. 10d. per quarter, and the sales have been 88,203 quarters. Much has been said and written about Customs' abuses and frauds, and there can bo no doubt that good cause for vigilance exists, and that the revenue has suffered greatly, not alone by the smuggling of the dishonest trader, but likewise by the connivance of the officers ap • pointed to protect it. What is now being brought under the notice of Parliament and of the public is, however, of a totally different character, being neither more nor less than allegations of utter disregard to principles of justice and habits of business on the part of the adminis trative body of the Customs—the Commissioners. One might also say, from the powers with which the Board is invested, that it is both legislative and executive in its functions, and a more arbitrary or carless exercise of gigantic powers it is scarcely possible to conceive. The fault is inherent in the system of appointing these responsible parties, and one is at a loss to conceive how business can have so long been conducted under such arrangements with out exciting the irresistible feeling that has lately arisen among the mercantile body, who will, we feel persuaded, never rest satisfied until there is a thorough reform. The prosecution of the Dock Companies has brought the matter to a crisis when it might have smouldered for a long time to come; and the committee of merchants formed to accelerate a re-modelling of our Customs' ad ministration is working with that zeal and energy so peculiar to Englishmen when once aroused, though so difficult in the first instance to excite. The time of our commercial men is too valuable not to prove always a preventive of frivolous complaints. The committee have published a further series of cases as follows: " 1. Instances in which, through mistake or igno rance of the merchant, higher than the legal duties have been exacted, and all redress or restitution withheld. " 2. The deliberate defiance of their own laws by the Board and the Treasury; and their encouragement of mere speculative seizures for ad valorem duties by the officers to promote the profit of Custom-house sales, to the sacrifice of the business of the merchant. " 3. Ddost oppressive and vindictive accumulations of prosecutions against meritorious public officers, upon whom ruinous expenses are heaped for indictments which are proved to be unfounded by their failure; while no redress is given for the wrong. " 4. Seizures of wholesale imports of goods liable to ad valorem duties, on the speculation of realising a profit, by converting the Custom-house into a huckster's shop for selling at retail prices. " 5. Seizure of British goods as of foreign manu facture, and combinations of the officers to intimidate the merchant into abandonment of his lawful property, virtually abetted by the refusal of all redress by the Treasury. _ _ "6. finical officiousness, and overlaying the intel ligent discharge of reasonable duty with martinet stria. gency. " f. Wresting the powers of the law to the oppression of the labouring poor. "8. The punishment of mere ignorance with the penalties of fraud; churlish official bearing, especially towards foreigners; and unnecessary delays, expensive to the public." This little recapitulation of instances will serve to illustrate what upon a future occasion it may be neces aary to refer to more in detail. The English Stock Market has been very firm again, and the advance which occurred yesterday afternoon has been supported, although the amount of business done has not been large.

H e a l so h e l d t h e situation of hel'.. commissioner of the town under the provisions of fi te a other local Act of Parliament, to which he was el ec t by the other commissioners, and he was lastly a clire ct o of the Galway Gas-light and Coke Company. I l2 _,„de the situation which h o h e ld i n soc i ety was such as rof it important, not only for himself but for the benefit be those under his care, that his character should net 1d wantonly assailed, or if it w as assa il e d , that he sh u fo r , adopt the earliest and mos t effectual measure vindicating his reput a ti on . I t appeared ir. the affidavits whi c h h a d b een filed i n sue' it port of this motion that hi s a t tent i on was ca lled t° " about the end of April, som e t en d ays a f ter t h e libel le question had been published; he procured a copy ° f paper and found to his dismay that it contained a 1 35 to graph reflecting seriously and wantoni)' on his c horea, the writer taking advant age o f t h e attack:to assa il t hroug t ": him the sacred nature of th e re li g i on of wh i ch the 9,0 Gentleman was a profess o r. Th e lib el professe d 10 a commentary upon the report of a speech st l f; posed to have been delivered by Mr. at a public dinner held in Galway. It 1 : 5 1 :6, fessed to set out part of that speech in which d Daly was supposed to hav e sta t e d t h at he had prop k c at on some former occasio n t o urge upon the countr y tm d. a certain number of p e r sons s h ou ld b e sent to E ng l°l 3 namely, 40 to Live r p oo l, 30 to B r i stol, and 30 to Porte' mouth for the purpose of setting fire to the 51 3 4 )6 ef those harbours, an d t h ere b y, if possible, destroying 1,3/r, Majesty's Government. The - paper assumed that A ,l Daly had mad e thi s speec h , and then it proes e"e to comment upon n o t on l y M r. Daly ' s chara cter , but upon the religion of which he was a P P , e b s e and professor. N ow the affidavits would show ` cie Court that Mr. Daly never di rect l y or i ndirect l y 1 0 0 any such speech, or made any such recommeneleti° : but he held all such p rocee di ngs i n t h e utmost a bbot" rence and indignation. Th e lib e l was set out in t' d affidavits and the paragraph in question, whi c h occurred in page 156 of the paper published on the 19th of lir' last, which was as follows : "A CHRISTIAN HERO.—HIS CROSS AND LUCIFER'D ° " The world knows nothing of its greatest man, 86 ',Y; Poet Taylor; Poet Wordsworth—see Escursion— ha v ing said the same thing before him. H ere i s the Rey, P e te ; Daly, Catholic priest of the town of Galway, burnin like a lamp in a sepulchr e , w h en he ought to shine lip." a star in the firmament. Daly made a truly heroi° speech—a real poteen oration —last week at a dinner i° Galway; in which speech he crumbled Lord John ntli sell to dust, crumbl e d hi m as a giant's fingers wollri crumble pound-cake. And then Daly said that in be bad given advice that would have overturned .E°g' land— " He proposed that there should be taken a hundre d picked men —each man litre himself 11—and that forty 4) ,1 these should be s en t to Liverpool, thirty to Bristol, °- thirty to Portsmouth, and on a certain day and hour set fire to and b urn d own the English fleet! and at o ° B blow destroy the Government.' " The proposal was heroic; but where get a hundre d men of such su bli me, ennobling powers as priest Daly We doubt whether even Ireland—prolific mother °' Christian heroes —could supply them. Nevertheless, t i ll mind is uplifted an d enlarged by a contemplation of picture painted in flames by the hero that might bas e been. Beautiful, too, to imagine the advent of Daly t ° our shores; to see him—the teacher of peace and good; will to all men —with his cross and his lucifer-box, 1011 on the quay of all-unconscious Liverpool; to watch bia s with his mid n i g ht, pint h er tread, stealing down to the docks, and th en — an d t h en to see the heavens red with conflagration ! " Ought we not to love Ireland, that gives us such priestly goodness—ought we not to hug to our bosoms f b faith of which such m en are t h e d epos i tar i es , an d ou gb' , we not as Englishmen to be especially proud of the con' tempt—the offspring of our strength—that takes n ° more heed of the gabble of such wretches than the li oo heeds the vermin that shelter in his mane?" Now, of course (the Learned Counsel continued). it could not bo necessary for him to comment upon tha t passage in the paper as being a most gross attack o pos! Mr. Daly, while there could bo no doubt at all 0 55 Mr. Daly was the person pointed at, because the P*; ragraph distinctly culled him the Rev. Mr. Daly. of Galway. The affidavit stated that there was no other person of that name residing in Galway, nor was there any other Roman Catholic priest, named DidYt living within the county of Galway, and th e ' r , v °, could, therefore, be no doubt t h at Mr. Pe was the person intended. There could be no doubt, also, of the libel being calc u l ated not only ser iously to affect his character, but to destroy his means o f uso' fulness, and, if possible, to rain him altogether. Indeed , several malicious parties had cut out slips from th e El inor paper containing this paragraph, an d sent t h em mously to various persons of rank and station Galway, thinking, no doubt, to expose the reverend gentleman to obloquy and scandal. Nothing could be more complete than the way in which the reverend gentleman denied ever having uttered such a sentimen' a or ever having in the remotest degree entertaio, e , it for a single moment; and, therefore, it ,` 4 0 11 9 perfectly clear that the paragraph was a most atrocious and wanton attack upon his character. It was u.',„ without the slightest foundation, because the affidavi ts would show his Lordship that a little while before Ow libel was published a public dinner was given at Galivah at which certain speeches were made which were a r.- exp(-eted off next spring tide, with little damage.
