Hunter, the facts of which appeared in our Paper yesterday, affirming the judgment of the Court below, with costs. The Earl of BELMORE, the late Governor-General of Jamaica, took the oaths and his seat. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Roman Catholic Bequests Bill and the Lord Chancellor's Salary Bill were read a third time, and passed. The Stage Coach Duties Bill went through a Com mittee, and was reported without amendment. Third reading to-morrow. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from the merchants and inhabitants of the Islands of De merara, Essequibo, and Berbice, praying that the West India Relief Bill might not pass clogged with the clauses rendering it imperative on them to adopt the late Orders in Council. The Noble Duke had some observations to make upon this question, but as the Noble Secretary for the Colonies was not in his place, he would defer them for a short time. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a petition from Andrew Jeffries, of Coleman-street, praying that the former Greek Loan be recognized before a new one was granted. The Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Party Processions (Ireland) Bill, went through a Committee. To be read a third time to-morrow. GREEK CONVENTION BILL. This Bill went through a Committee; to be read a third time to. morrow. CIVIL LIST BILL. This Bill went through a Committee ; to be read a third time to-morrow. CHOLERA. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table of the House Orders in Council issued under the Cholera Prevention Act. FORGERY BILL. On the Report of this Bill being brought up, The Eirl of ROSSLYN said, that in the absence of his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord \Vynford) he had to move an amendment, which would have the effect of ex cluding from the operation of the Bill the forgery of wills, testaments, codicils, or testamentary writings, with a view to defraud any person whatsoever, or powers of attorney for the transfer of stock, or for the receipt of interest of stock. The Nolib. Earl having read his amendment, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the opinion he had expressed last night remained unaltered. The reason of the ground on which he voted in the other House of Par liament was principally taken in the case of forged nego tiable securities. The immense amount of money con stantly passing by means of cheques on bankers, to the amount of millions in the year, and the risk to which that property was exposed, were the principal reasons why the punishment of death was so long continued by the other House of Parliament in regard to those se curities; but those reasons did not apply to the cases of forged bills and powers of attorney. In cases of cheques, one person at once could accomplish the forgery, and pro bably escape, whereas in cases of forged wills, a person did not obtain the money at once, but went to the proctors, frequently thereby leaving plenty of oppor tunities for suspicion and detection. It was, in fact, almost impossible to carry into effect a forged will, unless there was a conspiracy between several persons, all of whom must be conversant of what was going forward. In his opinion, therefore, if there was any one case in which the punishment of death ought to he continued, it was in the case of negotiable securities; and if there was any one case from which the punishment of death might be taken away, it was in cases of wills and powers of attorney. He admitted that there was a distinction between wills and powers of attorney, but not such a distinction as to take either out of the line of his argument. He was, therefore, against the introduction of the proposed clause ; but if be found the House wished that it should be carried, he would not propose it. The Bishop of HEREFORD expressed his opinion against the exceptions. He was strongly opposed to the taking away any protection to property from the mercan tile part of the community; hut after the speeches of last night, and the speech of the Noble and Learned Lord to night, and looking at the number of petitions proving the reluctance of many persons to prosecute under the present law, he thought that the punishment of death for all offences against property should be abolished. Earl GREY said, if the clause would deprive persons of the security they otherwise possessed, he would not be in favour of it, but his conviction was, that in cases of wills and powers of attorney there was net that reluctance on the part of the public to prosecute that there was in other cases. It was a.- great el,. &ash, forging wills and powers of attorney had the effect of ruin ing whole families, and therefore he thought those offences required a stronger operation of the law. It was stated last night, as a proof of the public feeling against capital punishments, that a great deal of sympathy was felt in the case of Fauntleroy. He (Lord Grey) certainly, averse as he was to the shedding of blood, felt ❑o such sympathy, for considering the magnitude of his crime, and the ruin he had entailed on others, if ever a man deserved his punishment, it was that man. That also he believed to have been the opinion of many others. He had heard of in stances of morbid sympathy towards other great criminals, such for instance as was shown towards Thurtell, but that would not induce him to alter his opinion. Under these circumstances, he was in favour of the clause, and if it should be found hereafter to be ineffectual, it would always be in the power of the House to alter it, and give, by the certainty of punishment, a better security to property. The LORD CHANCELLOR, with the permission of their Lordships, must say, with respect to what had been stated by his Nob!e Friend, that he did not state that that species of forgery, which had been referred to, was of frequent occurrence ; but that it was not of that unfrequent occurrence which was supposed. If it occurred much more frequently than it did, that would only be a stronger reason against the law as it at present stood. He considered there would be much less forgery when the capital pnnishment was altered. The clause was then agreed to. SITTING OF THE HOUSE. Ou the suggestion of the Duke of WELLINGTOY, it was arranged that the House should commence public business at four o'clock. Adjourned at a Quarter past Six o'Clock. WEST INDIES. REPORT. By the Lords' Committees appointed a Select Committee to inquire into the Laws and Usages of the several West India Colonies, in relatio❑ to the Slave Popula tion, the actual Condition and Treatment of the Slaves, their Habits and Dispositions, the means which are adopted in the several Colonies for their progressive Improvement and Civilization, and the Degree of Im. provement and Civilization which they have at present attained ; and also to inquire into the distressed condi tion of those colonies; and to whom were referred cer• lain petitions and papers in relation to the matters be fore the Committee. That the Committee have applied themselves to the matters referred to them, and, considering that there was no prospect of their being able to ex amine into the state of all the West India colonies during the continuance of the present session, came to an early determination to confine their inquiry, in the first instance, to the Island of Jamaica; and though they have collected much evidence upon the condition of the slaves in that Island, some of which is of the most contradictory description, yet they have not found it possible to enter into a detailed examination of many of the other points referred to them, and upon none -has their' inquiry been so complete as to enable them to submit to the House any definitive opinion. They have, amongst others, called before them planters, managers, and pro prietors of estates, attornies, overseers, persons having connexion with the Island, or who have visited it in public capacities, and missionaries of different persuasions; and the most material points brought under their notice have been -Ist, Any progressive improvement which may have taken place in the state of the slaves since the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. 2d. The actual state and condition of the slaves, the nature and duration of their labour, and also evidence as to instances of cruelty and gross abuse of authority and power. 3d. The increase or decrease of the slave popu lation as it respects Africans and Creoles, and as affected or not by the state and system of slavery : and 4th. Plans for improving the condition of the slave or effecting his emancipation, and opinions as to the probable condition of the Negro, and the effect upon society and property in the Island, which is likely to be produced by such emancipa tion. Beyond this the inquiry has unavoidably diverged into various collateral matters, from which the Committee could not abstain without omitting many important points, the consideration of which would be essential to a satisfactory conclusion. Under these circumstances, adverting to the ad• vanced period of the session, and to the probable arrival of persons of authority from Jamaica, whose evidence would be most desirable, they have de termined to postpone the consideration of any de tailed report, and simply to lay the evidence col lected btf.re the House, with such an index as may enable the House without difficulty to refer to tile information which has been obtained upon any of the objects of the inquiry. August 9. COURT CIRCULAR. The QUEEN, the Duchess of CUMBERLAND, and the the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, dined with the Princess AUGUSTA, attended by their respective suites, on Monday evening, at Froginore Lodge, and returned at night to the Palace at Windsor. The KING gave a grand dinner on Monday, in honour of the QUEEN'S natal day, to the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and GLOUCESTER, Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, Prin e GEORGE of Cambridge, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord HILL, Sir JAMES KEMPT, and a numerous party of min tary officers, at St. George's Hall. The entire party con sisted of 210, and were seated at one long table, rich'y ornamented with a plateau composed of numerous centre pieceM, with allegories and devices executed in the most tasteful manner. The Lords of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council held a meeting yesterday at the Council Chamber, White hall. There were present the Lord President, the Secre tary of State for the Home D•partinent, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the President of the Board of Trade. The Hon. WILLIAM BATHURST attended as Clerk of the Privy Council. The appeal (which was opened by Dr. LusHINGToN) was from a joint stock banking company at Jersey. The Bank was established four years ago, and consisted of 93 partners. The States of the island have recently passed a law imposing restrictions and securities on the part of the Bank, which is appealed against, on the ground that these restrictions, if enforced, would cause an end to be put to the operations of the Bank. It was complained of as a hardship, being an ex post facto law, and not required by the public, since it had been admitted, that the total cir culation of the island was but 120,0001., of which but one quarter, or 30,0001. only, had been issued by the Bank in question. By the new restrictions, the securities of the partners must be in land or funded property : many of the share holders, of undoubted respectability and substance, were unable to give this species of security. Mr. PEPYS having been heard in reply,— The LORD PRESIDENT, on the part of their Lordships, stated, that as it bad bee❑ represented to them, that if the restrictions authorized by the Act appealed against were enforced, it would he incompatible with the existence of the banking establishment, their Lordships had decided that the Act should he suspended one year. The Earl of BELMORE transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart ment, for the first time since his Lordship's return from the Government of Jamaica. The French Minister had an interview with Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday, at the Foreign.office. Viscount ALTHORP visited Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from General GRANT, the Governor of Trinidad. During the residence of Don PEDRO and the Quee❑ of PORTUVAL at the Clarendon, Donna MARIA sat, at the re quest of the EMPEROR, for her portrait, which now adorns one of the principal rooms in that establishment. Viscount ALTHORE entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner last evening, at his residence in Downing -street. AnitivAE.—The Earl of BELMORE, from Jamaica. DEPARTURE. - The Right Hon. E.

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE Kuzzmisastr."—We have great sympathy with Mr. FRASER'S " Smugglers", who are of the right sort, — bold, reckless, fearless, dare-all devils, standing out in the foreground like a group of SALVATOR Rosa's own bandits —real flesh-and-blood rascal; who are so true to their ca lli n g, that, despite the necessity of so doing, we are heartily grieved when they fall by sword or b u ll et. But the most perfect, the best sustained char ac t er i n t h e story, is the forester, Maccombic h, a being who, long after the volumes are closed, keeps his hold both on our imagination and our reason, and who is perpetually exciting our WM pathy, our admiration, and at last our tears. We hardly know any personage in any of the Scotch novels to com pare him with—for Mr. FRASER Is no imitator. But this we can aver, that there is no novelist existing who would not have added a fresh laurel to his wreath by the embodiment of this fine Highlander. IRELAND. (From the Cork Reporter of Saturday.) MOST IMPORTANT INTERVIEW BETWEEN HIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD• LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND AND A DEPUTA TION FROM ST. ANNE AND ST. MARY SHANDON. A deputation, consisting of the following gentle men—Dr. Baldwin, Messrs. Hayes, Sugrue, Ring, M'Elligott, Carver, Murphy, O'Flyrin, M'Carthy, Sheahan, and M'Auliffe—waited upon his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at the Imperial Clarence Hotel, to present a memorial, praying an inquiry into the conduct of the military and magistracy in the dispersion of the Blarney meeting, which had been convened for Sunday, the 15th of July last, for the purpose of taking into con sideration some plan for the encouragement of Irish manufactures. The memorial originated in the parishes of Sr. Anne and St. Mary Shandon, in which the greater part of the poorer manufacturers reside. The deputation, headed by Dr. Baldwin, was ushered into his Excellency's presence at about 12 o'clock. Sir Pultney Malcolm, Sir George Bingham, Colonels King, Travers, and many other military men of rank, were in attendance upon the occasion. The usual formalities having been gone through, Dr. Baldwin read the memorial in a very effective manner. It was as follows : " To his Excellency the Marquis of Anglesea, Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland. "The memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of the pa rishes of SS. Mary and Anne Shandon, in the city of Cork, respectfully " Showeth, that in a memorial addressed to your Ex cellency on the 16th of April last, and signed by the Mayor and the Lord Bishop of Cork, the poor citizens are represented as always disposed to obey the laws, and, al though pressed by poverty and deprivation, as having exhibited a laudable example of quiet and patient subordi nation. " That the memorialists failed to obtain from the Go vernment the pecuniary assistance which they solicited, at a period when an epidemic, fatal particularly to the destitute, ravaged the city,—when 57,000 distressed individuals, acd 21,000 persons in extreme wretchedness, were officially numbered in a total population of 105,000. " That, in circumstances so afflicting to humanity, the only remedy which presented itself for our distresses was the revival of the branches of industry that formerly af forded employment to the labouring classes. " That associations for the encouragement of Irish ma nufacture were formed with this sole and laudable object—. an object at one time highly favoured and emphatically re commended by your Excellency. " That the populous parishes of Blarney and White church, concurring in the views of these associations, an nounced a meeting of their inhabitants at the village of Blarney, on Sunday, the 15th of July, in order to co operate with the cit,zens. • That, to the astonishment of all persons enraged in this humane, national, and constitutional undertaking, the village designed for the assemblage of peaceable and or derly individuals, was found at the appointed hour pre occupied by infantry, cavalry, and artillery, under the di rection of the Magistrates, who prohibited the intended meeting, although unaccompanied by banners or bands of music; that the meeting was postponed in consequence of this prohibition, and in order to avoid any sanguinary collision with the military. " That the associations in Cork, and the co-operating inhabitants of the country districts, solemnly deny that they intended to promote the consumption of Irish manufac tures by penalty or compulsion, or the obligation of an oath, or the exclusion by force of British products. " That they, on the contrary, enforced the necessity of prices as low, and commodities as good, as those of other countries, in order to ensure a permanent preference to Irish articles in the Irish market. " That it is a violation of every principle of liberty and personal security, and social confidence and prosperity, to have persons thus engaged and a'sembled for such pur poses subjected to military interference or aggression, or to dispersion at the command of any Secretary, or Sub. Secretary, or local :11agistracy. " That, as your Excellency can now investigate the en tire transaction on the very spot where it occurred, you are earnestly solicited to institute a strict inquiry into all the circumstances before you leave this city, and not to suffer fake charges, or injurious impressions of the conduct and dispositions of our people to be conveytd to the Legis lature of the Government, &c." When Dr. Baldwin bad concluded the memorial, and had solicited his Excellency's comphio.ce with the request of the memorialists,— His EXCELLENCY tl:en took up the memorial, and ~aid—" I consider this memorial as a charge upon the civil and military authorities here, and I am ready to take up the cudgels for both." Then perusing the memorial, and remarking upon the first paragraph, his Excellency observed he was quiteready to acknowledge the general habit of obedience to the laws, and respect to the authorities, which had cha racterized the inhabitants of the county and city of Cork until within the period of the last two years, of which obedience and respect, the kindly understand ing, till then almost universally existing between landlord and tenant in the district, was a meritorious attestation. His EXCELLENCY then proceeded to the second paragraph, and exculpated the Government with regard to the subject of it, by e nd eav o ur i ng t o s h ow that it contained no just ground of complaint. " You must see the justice (said he) of having re fused the relief alluded to, inasmuch as if it had been accorded to Cork, it would have been at the expense of the rest of the country. This would be acting very unfairly by others. The Govern ment never refused pecuniary aid when applied to for it, upon the conditions on which it alone could be granted—namely, a proper and sufficient arrange ment for the repayment of advances : and I assert that no application put foward upon these just grounds has been unsuccessful." Dr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, here adverted to the grants to the West Indies and the Canadas, representing to his Excellency that the un successfulness of the application for pecuniary aid, had not been alluded to in the memorial for the pur pose of reflecting upon the Government, but in or der to draw attention to the cause which induced the citizens to assemble for the purpose of promot ing the encouragement of Irish manufactures— namely, the extreme wretchedness and destitution of a great number of the inhabitants. His EXCELLENCY seemed to approach the next paragraph (the third) with sentiments of marked displeasure, observing in an irritated tone—" This paragraph would appear to imply a charge against myself, on the ground that I have forgotten my de clarations in favour of Irish manufactures, and that, having formerly supported them, I am now opposed to their encouragement. That I distinctly deny. I entertain now the same feelings and the same anxiety for the prosperity of Ireland and its manu factures as I entertained at any former period. In the meantime, I must declare myself quite opposed to having that object effected through the instru mentality of such a meeting as was held in Blarney. Indeed, I cannot help considering this paragraph as reflecting disrespectfully upon myself; and, perhaps, I should look upon the memorial altogether as in tended to be personally offensive to me." Dr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, as sured his Excellency that nothing could be more remote from their intention than to convey to him any thing in the least bordering on disrespect. If his Excellency considered the memorial objectionable under any such impression, the deputation begged leave, most respectfully, to withdraw it altogether. His EXCELLENCY.—That is a matter for the dis cretion of the deputation. Dr. BALDWIN then continued to observe, that, in adopting the language of the paragraph, the memo rialists merely wished to bring to his Excellency's recollection a fact which they thought could not prove otherwise than satisfactory to his feelings— uamely, the support which he had formerly given to the manufactures of the country, and the letter ad dressed by him in 1828 to the Home Secretary, in which he had emphatically declared himself favoura ble to them—without at all intending to imply that his Excellency had afterwards withdrawn that sup port, as to which object of the memorialists his Ex cellency had been led into a misconception. His EXCELLENCY then came to the fourth para graph, and having read it, he laid the memorial upon the table, indicating by his manner and gesture, that he did not exactly accredit the declaration set forth in it as to the object of holding the Blarney meet ing. He then inquired why it was that Sunday was fixed on, or Blarney chosen, to hold a meeting of over 50,000, for the purpose of encouraging Irish manufactures in the city of Cork ? Dr. BALDWIN—A considerable part of Blarney and Whitechurch is in the county of the city of Cork; in other days it was the scene of busy industry and a happy manufacturing district. San day was appointed as the day of meeting from t%e consideration that it would be injudicious, if not in convenient, on any other to draw away the people from their agricultural pursuits. It was thought desirable to bring together the masses of the people which were there assembled, not to intimidate the Government of the country by any physical display, but in order to concentrate opinion upon a great subject, arid by that concentration to give it due force. It was, moreover, thought advisable to in duce the people of that district to pledge themselves to support Irish manufactures in preference to Eng lish, if they could do so on terms as advantageous. H's EXCELLENCY then remarked, that he was of opinion that the explanation given of the paragraph indicated any thing but liberality of feeling. tie was strongly inclined to believe it was in contempla tion to make it compulsory on the people to support Irish manufactures, on grounds different from those which had been stated ; and, for himself, he would take the liberty of declaring that his own sentiments were indeed vastly more generous than those con veyed in the paragraph, which he could not help designating exceedingly illiberal. " With respect to such meetings, moreover," added his Excellency, " I conceive that an erroneous view has been taken of the law regulating arid prohibiting them. Such masses of people, though unaccompanied by banners or bands of music, are clearly illegal. If a meeting be so large as to excite terror in the minds of persons, even of delicate nerves, it is illegal. It is my duty to enforce the fulfilment of the law,and to assist the anthorities to carry it into execution, and I consider the meeting alluded to illegal in such a degree that I think the civil authorities were perfectly justifiable in suppressing it, and having called in the assistance of the mili tary for that purpose, I conceive that they, too, have acted with propriety, They dal not meet, moreover, for the purpose of petitioning. I do not mean to say that the existing laws do not ' need alteration; on the contrary, I am every day suggesting amendments in them ; but so long as they continue the laws of :he land—although I may not concur in the policy of them—l will uphold them, even by military power if necesssry." Mr. BALDWIN, on the part of the deputation, said they differed with the Noble Marquis in his view of the law—that it was conceived that mere numbers could not render a meeting illegal, inasmuch as, if such were the case, the reform meetings in England, with which his Majesty's Ministers corresponded, must have been illegal on the same ground, being at least as numerous as the Blarney meeting, and attended with circumstances more exciting to deli cate nerves. It was likewise conceived that the people had a right to meet for other objects besides petitioning Parliament, and that it was the duty of the civil, and not of the military powers to interfere upon such occasions. These opinions were con firmed by the constitutional history of the country, and sustained by the illustrious names of Black stone, Grattan, and Fox. His EXCELLENCY, in reply, said he more than doubted whether Fox had ever sanctioned the view of the law taken by the deputation. He was inti mately acquainted with the opinions of the nephew of that distinguished statesman, Lord Holland, whose liberality and love of constitutional liberty, could not be questioned, and yet he certainly did not recognize that view of the law. " It is (said his Excellency) the continual excitement and un ceasing agitation which pervade the country, that prevent the influx of English capital since the pass ing of the Relief Bill, and the promotion of Irish manufactures, which would be the natural conse quence. No wealthy capitalist, who loved ease and quiet, would venture to embark his capital in the country in its present disturbed state, even with the prospect of employing it to the greatest advantage. It is for this reason that Ireland is at present as we find her." Dr. BALDWIN, in reply, observed that we had had many intervals of quiet since the Union, from which we derived little advantage; that the subject of Ca tholic emancipation was not even mooted till 1605, and that if English capital were to be introduced at all, or English Legislation improved, there was abundant time from the Union to that period ; that we had had times of war and of peace, of civil agita tion and decided quiet, in either of which we did not find the condition of the country ameliorated by either legislation or capital. Fran-i agitation alone we derived whatever benefits had been extended to our country. The NOBLE MARQUIS, after perusing the memo. rial again, said—" The present Government is the most liberal which we have known for a long series of years. It honestly and truly professes to legis late for the improvement of Ireland, but the colli sion of angry parties renders the measures in con templation of Government difficult of applivaiion, and the whole energies of the contending factions seem devoted to procrastinate any wholesome mea sure of relief, and to obstruct the good intentions entertained towards the country. For myself, lam suffering martyrdom between the parties. In 1828 I was the most popular man in Ireland, and I will take to myself the ci edit of having been the imme diate cause of procuring Catholic emancipation.— For my acts in the Government at that period I lost the confidence of the Ministers of England : I was deprived of my office, and, what I valued far higher than any other consideration, I lost the friendship and regard of the King. All this I suffered for Ireland and her welfare, and I must say I met with a most ungrateful return. At the time I refer to, I was the most popular man in Ireland, and now, by the machinations of agitators and leaders, and the misrepresentations of interested parties, I am the most unpopular man."--- (As his Excellency spoke the last sentence, he turned round to the military gentlemen present, as if ap• pealing to them upon the justness of the remark, and they appeared to indicate assent.)--" And I appeal to every body about me, whether I have not been treated with marked disrespect. But I acqnit the people of the charge of ingratitude, laying it more strongly upon the shoulders of their leaders; for I do believe, that if great palm had not been taken with them, ninety-nine out of every hundred would have cheered me as I passed through the country." The deputation, on behalf of themselves and the people of Cork, disclaimed any intention of actin.. disrespectfully to his Excellency. They were grate ful for the services which he rendered the country in other days—of those services they entertained a warm sense, but against all these recollections in his favour recent circumstances prevailed. They con ceived the course of Government, of which they complained, to have been induced by the misrepre sentations and misstatements of those who had ever been the enemies of the people, and to the line of policy which had been adopted in listening to their counsels, his Excellency was to attribute the absence of that complimentary manifestation of public senti ment of which he complained. His Nobody E E is XCELLENCY—For awareci - nmyselfi am h i o t , d v o h e s a r n d o t at sign. ask i fy i t is to administer the laws in Ireland. Convinced, however, as I am, of the integrity of intention and the liberal plans of his Majesty's present honest Ministers towards this country, and knots ing, from my own experience, the difficulty of applying those views and legislating upon them—viewing, more over, the administration of the Government im• peded and embarrassed by the contentions of oppos ing parties. I have subdued my fe a p x n ua x ir t i p e eo t d y s retire ee t ha o anrdacutle both as i from public - life, and shall not desert the post because it is one of difficulty, if n ot of dan g er . Dr. BALDWIN, in rep l y , com p li mented his Ex cellency upon his daring and h ighmindedness—li s gallantly H is a x Ei statesmannc E LLN facing E e d y a a t r i ti g dh e e r ai , ) ,a soldier.nwd i hip h much earnestn e ss, and in a tone indicating firmness doubting confidence, said—" A' day will shortly ar rive,—it can't be distant,—indeod it is not possible it can be distant,—when measures already prepared and in preparation for tile government of Ireland will be developed, and when justice will be done to the Government of the country for its good inten tions. When that day comes—and come it shortly will—l shall expect to receive from you a letter of acknowledgment upon the subject, and of thanks for what is now in progress of legislative preparation, I and for my individual exertions in contributing to create an order of things suited for those measures. I necessarily found myself at variance with two parties which are struggling for their own private and fcctious ends—retarding improvement—injuring the country—and obstructing the measures of the Government. One of those parties I have put down, mid you want to mount and bestride them; but that shall not be; for I will master you both. And with respect to the repeal of the union (conti nued his Excellency, turning short from the subject upon which he had been speaking), to enable any impartial man to decide upon the advantage of such a m; , asure, I would only ask him to visit the quays of Dublin, and I would there inquire of him what would become of the trade of the country if severed from England? What (tauntingly) of your corn, your pigs, arid your butter ? Why, I would but ask my friend Sir P. Malcolm, and four gun-brigs, to blockade every river in your country." His Excel lency, after using this expression, turned round, and appealed to the gallant Admiral, who bowed his concurrence. The deputation admitted the great naval and mi litary power of England; but, in seeking for a re peal of the legislative union, the people of Ireland never contemplated for a moment a separation be tween the countries, or, consequently, a war with England. On the contrary, it had invariably been the study of the leaders of the people who advocate repeal, distinctly to prohibit them from entertaining any thoughts or opinions in the least tending to such a separation. But if it should so happen that Sir Pulteney Malcolm and his four gun-brigs did blockade our ports, we have little apprehension that we have ample sources within ourselves for our prosperity. The revenue raised from Ireland, and expended in England and the colonies, was, we conceive, the great source of national complaint— tending, as it did, to the impoverishment of the country, and to the diminution of the people's prosperity. - The Noble MARQUI3 observed, that the argument used by the deputation might, perhaps, be employed with more propriety in Parliament than upon the present occasion. . _ A military gentleman here remarked, that as Dr. Baldwin was a candidate for the representation of Cork, it would be, perhaps, well if he reserved his observations for his place in the House of Commons. Dr. BALDWIN—I do expect, Sir, to have the ho nour of representing my native city in Parliament; but the observations which I made were not unso licited : I did not urge them of myself; they were in reply to questions put to me by his Excellency, and I was induced to make them by his urbanity. Some of the attending officers having here alluded to the lateness of the hour, The MARQUIS rose, as if about to conclude the conference, and the deputation were, in conse quence, preparing to depart, when his Excellency said, " I am not, you perceive, doing things accord ing to form. Mere I am, talking to you in a man ner which etiquette and ceremonial would not ad mit; but I wish to speak with you in a friendly way, and to impress on your minds, that the courses pursued at public meetings, and those angry colli sions with the Government, which many are so prone to cultivate and encourage, militate against the very objects and ends which are sought to be ac complished." After some desultory observations had been made, His EXCELLENCY again took up the memorial, and, addressing the deputation, said, " You call upon me for an inquiry into the circumstances of the military interference at the Blarney meeting." Dr. BALDWIN—" Yes; that is our object. We conceive that that interference was illegal and uncon stitutional ; but we do not mean to charge the mi litary with having dispersed the meeting, but at the desire and by the instructions of Sir William Gossett or the Magistrates." At the mention of the name of Sir William Gos sett, the Noble Marquis appeared exceedingly in dignant, angrily exclaiming, " There is no such poison as Sir William Gossett--I am Sir William Gossett; he is my private Secretary; I adopt his acts, and I will answer for them. You call for an inquiry ; if you wish it, it shall be granted you. The Government has never refused to direct an in quiry when any sufficient grounds have been alleged for its imtitution. Though lam satisfied that this will have the same termination as most other pro ceedings of a similar kind, I will grant it if you wish. I have always selected for such inquiries men of the most honourable character, and from the most libe ral class of the profession„ and I have yet found that they invariably terminated in the exculpation of the accused party." Towards the close of the conference it was stated by one of the deputation that a man had been lanced by a cavalry soldier in a field belonging to Mr. Jef feries, on the day of the Blarney meeting. Sir GEORGE BINGHAM declared that that was the first intimation he had received of any such occur rence having taken place. He stated, that he had been requested by Mr. Jefferies to clear a particular field of the populace, who had been thronging into it, and he had, accordingly, given orders that it should be done : but he positively affirmed, that he had not, until then, heard of the charge which had been put forward. One of the deputation assured his Excellency he was an eye-witness to the transaction. His EXCELLENCY—If you can name a single mi litaly man who has done wrong, you shall have the most satisfactory inquiry into his conduct. Can you name the man i You shall have the Attorney-Ge neral, and the best assistance the Government can supply, for his prosecution. To this it was replied, that the individual could not be identified; his Excellency could only be as sured of the fact. The conference, which lasted for over an hour, here concluded, and the deputation retired. Although the opinions and sentiments expressed in this interview by his Excellency were n ot in con currence with those of the deputation, they could not depart without strong feelings of r espect for the character and independence of !Ili Excellency, and for that benignity of manner which so happily and quickly succeeded every indication of displeasure. The Baroness de FEUCHERES has just ar rived from Paris, and is at present residing at the Bruns wick Hotel, Jermyn-street. Mercantile letters have this morning been received from Ginstantinople, dated as late as the 22d and 23d of last month, containing important intelligence re specting the war between the Viceroy of Ecrer and the PORTE. It is stated that an express had arrived at Con stantinople with an account of the defeat of the Grand Turkish Army under HUSSEIN PACRA in the neighbour hood of Aleppo. Some of the letters, however, state that the action took place with an advanced corps only, and that the main body of the SULTAN'S army, which is commanded by HUSSEIN PACIIA in person, was not engaged; but they concur in describin g the rout of the Turks as complete. The mortality of HossElN's troop., occasioned by, disease, had previously been great ; and this defeat, whatever the extent of it may really have been, appears to he regarded by the writers of the letters as quite decisive of the present campaign, and most disastrous to the Porte.—A postscript to one letter mentions that there was also in circulation a report of a naval victory obtained by the Egyptians, who, it was said, had captured several ves els of the Turkish fleet. Mr. GRATTAN'S 44 Legends of the Rhine" appear at a very opportune moment, as the present is the period of the year when our countrymen indulge them selvts in tours in that interesting part of Europe. Those, therefore, who are about to travel thither, will be delighted to find almost every part of their journey illustrated by the fine talents of one of our hest living novelists; while those who remain at home will have their imaginations warmed by a series of stories wherein romantic fiction and poetical scenery are blended in happy union.
