(Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty.) eleP 1 There are many questions of deep and serious in terest to the United Kingdom to be discussed in the , new Parliament, but perhaps none are more vitally important than those which relate to the sister island, to the development of her resources, the employment of her people, her extrication from the distress and misery in which she has been unhappily involved, and her elevation to a state of comparative prosperity. Ireland is an integral portion of the British dominions ; her interests are not in any wise different from our own, and no distinction should be made in the manner in which her people are dealt with from that adopted to our own. The proposition enunciated by the late Premier, responded to by the present and his colleagues in the Ministry, and received with ac clamations by the united Legislature, " that she should be placed on a footing of perfect equality with Eng land, in her civil, municipal, and political institutions,'' contained the true principle on which alone she can be governed for the future. But something more is to be done than the restoration, or we should rather say, the creation of that equality. Past ages of mis government and oppression have led to her present painful position, and to the fearful amount of misery and suffering that has taken place during the past year. We owe it to our Irish brethren to spare no exertion, to leave no effort untried to promote the welfare of their country, and to place the people in such a position as they might reasonably have hoped to be in had England adopted a wiser and more liberal policy in bygone years. It is not merely a matter of justice that we should do so, but it is also in the highest degree expedient. If Ireland were permitted to remain in her present deplorable state she would be a continual clog on our exertions, a source of endless expense and embarrassment—she would still be the chief difficulty of our Ministers, and a constant drain on our Exchequer, while her people would be barely removed from a state of ab solute destitution. Viewing the subject, therefore , merely as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence and omitting every consideration of justice and humanity, we should take the steps necessary for the improvement of her soil and the employment of her people, and thus transform her from a craving and importunate dependent, to a valuable and efficient auxiliary. It is not by a single measure, however beneficial it might prove, that this great result can be obtained. Many matters, apparently trivial in themselves, will yet have important effects, and tend materially to wards the attainment of the desired object. The recla• mation of the waste lands, the promotion of fisheries, the establishing of better relations between landlord and tenant, an extensive cultivation of flax, loans to landowners for the improvement of their estates, and the creation of railways through the entire coun try, are all means by which the greatest ameliorations may be effected; but they are not sufficient by them selves, and the most attentive and mature considera tion should be devoted to the various propositions which have, from time to time, been brought for ward. The great majority of these propositions may be imperfect, and, in their present shape, impracti cable, but they will generally be found to contain something from which good may be extracted, and that may be productive of benefit. They may not appear calculated to produce all the advantages as serted by their originators, but still a partial adop tion may be followed by favourable results. There is no period which can be more properly devoted to that consideration than the present. There is at least a relaxation of suffering—a relief from that frightful destitution that compelled a prompt and ready action for present necessities, rather than for future advantages. The statesman can now apply his mind to the entire question, with out being distracted by the warfare of parties in the senate-house, or the cry of agony from a people ex posed to all the horrors of pestilence and famine. He possesses that leisure and quietness which is so essen tial to calm reflection and a prudent judgment. He .:an weigh the various remedial measures in the I,alance, and separate the wheat from the ::hall. The ;;olden moment should not, and we believe will not, oe suffered to elapse fruitlessly by the enlightened and 1. beral Nobleman who now presides over the na tional councils or the other members of the Cabinet. We shall look with deep anxiety tor the results of their labours, and we trust that they may furnish a solution to the difficulties, and give effect to the good wishes land favourable intentions towards Ireland by which our Ministers are animated. But while the Ministry are thus busy, no persons of any class should be idle. Capitalists are especially those by whose aid the greatest benefits to Ireland may be effected, and with corresponding advantages to themselves. The great want of Ireland is capital, and if that can be made to flow to her shores, not only from na tional, but from private sources, the victory will be more than half achieved. An extremely sensible, and well written pamphlet, from the pen of the Rev. GEORGE HENRY STODDAItT, contains a notice of the Irish Amelioration Society, a project brought forward by 111r.JAsPER. E.Rooeas, C.E. "The plan," it is stated, " would, if promptly adopted, furnish remunerative employment to thousands immediately after the harvest is over, and thus enable them to provide for their families through the ensuing winter, while fuel would be more adequately, and safely, and economically provided." These are certainly valu able results, but i - i addition, it is said, that while ten per cent. is paid to the capitalist on the amount of his investment, a large surplus will be applicable to the amelioration of the con dition of the people, by improvements in their habitations, the construction of lecture-rooms for useful and entertaining information, instruction in cottage economy and agricultural science, includ ing the growth of flax, and the establishment of loan funds and dispensaries. Although we are not pre pared to say that all these advantages can be at tained, there is quite sufficient to show that the scheme is a feasible one ; and if the calculations of Mr. ROGERS are not very erroneous indeed, an ample dividend might fairly be looked for, and much employment would be given to persons who might otherwise become burdensome on the poor-rates. The project is, at all events, worthy of serious con sideration, and it is said that it has already been sub mitted to many eminent scientific persons, from whom it received the highest encomiums and the most unqualified approbation. _:EIV NOVEL.

A correspondent from Rome, dating his letter on the 12th, states in the Augsburg Gazette, that the rench Ambassador to the Papal Court had re proached the Cardinal Secretary of State with pre cipitation in publishing officially the first protest of the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara, and observed that the course adopted was not diplomatic. The reply of the Cardinal was, according to the same letter, most characteristic ; he remarked that he did not pretend to be a diplomatist, but that he had done what he vas entitled to do. The occupation of Ferrara by the Austrians is described, by those v. ho wrote from Rome on the 17th instant, to have excited a profound feeling of indignation in the capital as well as throughout R an Romagna. Th e P ont ifi ca l G overnmen t, with a view to abatethis impressi o n, had published on that day extraordinary number of the Diario di Roma, containing. an article calculated to re-assure the population in regard to the results of the occupation. The into ar i article 1815 beg by Cardinal begins by dinl referring to the protest en tered Roman Cabinet against th e 103dcla N u Lssek o v f i and the etrea th ty e of Vienna, which reserved t o Austria c the right of garrisoning the citadels of Ferrara an d ca with the exception of the towns. The Holy See, it , s ays, had ever since entertained a hope that the Aus trian troops would be withdrawn even from those citadels, and had insisted and obtained that the respec tive garrisons should not trespass beyond the limits of the fortresses. Great accordingly had been the surprise of his I:Iola:ass when he was inform e d that considirable reinforcements, presenting themselves with all the appearances of hostility, had entered Ferrara on the 17th of July. The Secretary of State, on being apprised of the fact, had immediately written to the Austrian General-in-Chief, Count RA DETSKI, to withdraw the troops from the town, and direct the garrison to remain within the walls of the citadel. Instead of complying with that request the Austrian General ordered patrols to be sent into the town at night, on the 6th of August, and finally, the military posts to be occupied by Austrian troops. On the Bth the Governor of the citadel, General AUERSPERG, had complained to the Cardinal Legate of the prison being committed to the keeping of the civic guard, and declared that if the principal posts and the gates were likewise confided to them, he would be under the necessity of dislodging them and replacing them by Austrian soldiers. The Cardinal invoked the right of sovereignty of the POPE, but his remonstrances were disregarded by Count RA DETSKI, who ordered the occupation of the four gates of the town and the principal posts by the garrison of the citadel. Cardinal Cieccni had again pro tested, and his conduct had been fully approved by the Government. His HOLINESS highly commended the behaviour of the people of Ferrara on that occa sion ; he shed tears of gratitude, and bestowed on them his benediction. The article then concludes by re commending all the subjects of the POPE to observe moderation, and to place confidence in the Govern ment, and assures them that he had protested in the proper form against this unjustifiable aggression. News from Bologna, up to the 16th instant, inclu sively, tells us that though affairs remained in the same position as before at Ferrara, there were twenty thousand Austrians congregated on the banks of the Po, in readiness to cross that river at a moment's no tice. On the 16th inst. the Municipal Councillors of Bologna voted an address to Cardinal ANIATI, protest ing in the strongest terms against the Austrian inva sion, and announcing their willingness to defend with their lives and property 'the independence of the Papal dominions. Tuz- . cans is described as being in a state of great agitation. Intelligence from Madrid has been received, with newspapers of the 19th inst. The terms of reconciliation had bee❑ laid before the KING-CONSORT, but his MAJEsTY required a delay of four months' duration before he would con sent to a return to the palace. This conditional demand is ascribed by the Progressist papers to foreign influence. The Eco del Comercio, indeed, goes the length of asserting that ISABELLA had re ceived an affectionate communication from her royal uncle, the KING of the FRENCH, warning her that if such-and-such a course were not followed, General NARVAEZ should be dispatched to Spain for the pur pose of vigorously carrying into effect the designs of himself (Louis PHILIPPE). So much for the Citizen King—the King of July—the King of the Bar ricades ! _ . In consequence of the failure of the Cabinet in effecting a reconciliation between the royal couple, the retirement of the Ministry was hourly expected. Other accounts, however, state that Messrs. PACHECO, BENAYIDES, and MAZZAREDO were striving to pro mote the accession of General NARVAEZ to the Presidency of the Council; and our hint of yesterday about SALAMANCA. is corroborated, by the assurance of our Madrid correspondent that that Minister was not altogether disinclined to continue in office under the General, but was awaiting the arrival of SARA GOSSA from Paris to know his definitive intentions. According to the French intelligence it would also seem that Queen CHRISTINA returned to Paris on Monday, from Havre, in consequence of the recent information received from Spain. The utmost anxiety prevailed throughout Madrid, and the Funds had fallen. The Three per Cents. were done at 26 for cash ; the Coupons at 11; and the Five per Cents. at 171 for paper ; and the Debt without interest, at 51. The Paris journals of Tuesday have arrived by our usual express. They are still engrossed with the horrible murder of the Duchess DE PRAILIN, and the scarcely less horrible proceedings of the Austrians in the northern provinces of the Italian Peninsula. The general belief throughout the capital, respect ing the murderer of the daughter of Marshal SEBAS- 'M NI, was that the Duke DE CUOISEUL PRASLIN would not live to be tried. The National explicitly declares this as its conviction. The Journal des Della& says :—" As we stated yesterday, the re mains of the Duchesi DE PRASLIN were deposited on Sunday in the vaults of the ..Nladelaine, her parish churc . On Monday Inorning, at eight o'clock, a funeral service was celebrated in the same church, amidst the tears and grief of al present. The friends of the unhappy Duchess had joined General TIRURCE SEEASTIANI, the Duke DE COIGNY, and several mem bers of the Praslin family, and mingled over that tomb, so prematurely and so cruelly opened, their poignant regrets, their despair and tears. Never was mourning more simple and sincere. T::e fate and end of the Duchess DE .PRASLIN. would have drawn tears from the most indifferent. But, for those who knew the Duchess, her virtues, her amiable qualities, her unbounded charity—what a subject of bitter and inconsolable griefl Madame DE PRASLIN possessed all that commands respect and affection. She was still handsome. Educated under the eyes and in the house of her illustrious father, Marshal SEBASTIANI, she was adorned with every mental gift. At Paris, on her estate of Praslin, everywhere, in short, she distributed alms in abundance, and the poor may be said to have shared with her her immense fortune. Madame DE PRAsur; adored her family ; she was the consolation of her father, an example to all who ap proached her ; she was beloved and venerated. What a void she leaves in society ! What an eternal grief in the hearts of her friends I But what a blow for Marshal SEDASTIANI 1 At this moment the unfor tunate father is still, perhaps, ignorant of the fate of his beloved daughter. His arrival at Paris had been erroneously announced ; his family, even, does not know, at the moment we write, where the Marshal is, and whether he will receive the fatal intelligence by one of the messengers dispatched to him in four dif ferent directions, or learn it, unprepared, through the journals, or from the mouth of a stranger. This un certainty is the s abject of the most painful anxiety for the family and friends of the Marshal. But, let what may happen, alas ! the shock will be frightful. Nobody can calculate its extent. The Marshal has lost the daughter whose tender care and filial affec tion constituted the happiness of his life ;—and how has he lost her !" In answer to the reflections of the Journal des Dibats, that if the policy recommended by the Na tional bad been followed, there would have been a more frightful amount of crime committed within a single month than has been perpetrated within the last seventeen years, the latter journal observes : " We do not pretend that if France, faithful to the generous ideas suggested by the popular victory, had pursued the brilliant road traced by the sun of July, and if her banner, then raised and saluted by so many nations, had become the rallying sign of free nations, such a work could have been accomplished without sacrifices. History teaches us that every progress, every upward movement of humanity, requires de votedness, struggles, and efforts. Civilization is at present armed with a force which renders obstacles less capable of resistance, and conquest less painful. And, moreover, to suffer if necessary for a great idea, to wound one's feet in walking on a road which leads to a noble object, to tell an entire nation whose genius is expansive that it is necessary to pass a diffi cult defile in order to restore dignity to the country, to secure for all her children a more equitable divi sion of the blessings of lifr—that it is necessary to cross a bridge defended by coalesced aristocracies, but that there are oppressed on the other side who have risen and are waiting our approach, would, in our eyes, be to accomplish the mission of France, and we are sufficiently acquainted with our nation to feel full confidence both in her courage and in her instinct. Such is the system of which we would have wished to see the triumph. It was not without peril, but the principle was sacred, the means glorious, and the ob ject elevated. Must we descend into that ditch in which your system has erected its temple ? 'What, suffer all that we feel in our pride, in our sympathies for nations, which we regard as brothers, to see so much mean ness, so many abuses, so many accumulated crimes,— and why? For a deceptive peace, far an idea without solidity, in order to create a political annuity for one life on a foundation of sand, and to bend a nation of , 35,000,000 of inhabitants into the stooping attitude "-bLi ..s.tl •-• ,!••t--- .. • .

Apathy seems to be the speedy and inevitable con sequence of enthusiasm, and the greater the enthu siasm the more inevitable and the more speedy is the apathy by which it is succeeded. This is among the many incomprehensible anomalies of our national character. To the physiologist it arises from cli mate, or from the mixture of races ; to the phrenolo gist it is the result of certain craniological develop ments ; to the abstract philosopher it comes from the peculiarities of the ethical doctrines instilled into the hearts of the population. Whatever may be the im mediate cause of this fickleness of temperament, there it is, perpetually manifested to us as well by the most frivolous as by the most important occurrences. It is as visible to the foreigner on his arrival in England as the chalky whiteness of our cliffs ; it is as much a characteristic among us as vivacity is among Frenchmen, or a contemplative quiescence among Germans. We are as proud of our capacity for evincing enthusiasm as a peacock is of unfolding his tail, and generally to about as much purpose. A short time back the metropolis rang with - acclamations in honour of the memory of WILLIAM CAXTON—meetings were convened, speeches were delivered, subscriptions were opened. Every one appeared eager to vie in testimonies of grati tude for the peaceful but triumphant achieve. ments of the first English printer. A fountail was to sparkle in the daytime and gaslights were t, glitter in the evening, in cotnraernoration of a carver .by which the land had been so vividly iiluminatal. A monument of an appropriate description was to attest !to after ages that our generation had been alive to the benefits conferred upon his countrymen by the intel. ligence anti in ustry of CAXTON. It was to actor the precincts of the venerable Abbey of Westmiostei, becau-e in' the cloisters of that superb edifice the first British printer was first sheltered. All hearts—at least the hearts of all enlightened men—exulted at the prospective erection of this token of national appreciation. The noise of this ardour has diminished —the activity of this demonstration has abated—the notion of the Caxton Testimonial has, by the vast majority of its promoters, been altogether forgotten. With Mr. H. H. XliemaN and his immediate sympa thisers we are convinced it is different ; we are satisfied that the committee and the secretary, ap pointed some weeks since in the Adelphi, are by no means idle or indifferent; but we are equally certain that with the public generally, the idea of a monument to CAXTON is as a vision of a fort night old—gone from the recollection. Even when these observations shall recal the matter to the me mory of the people, the result of the reminiscence will he like the verse of BULWER-LYTTON, they will again " Dream the dream they dreamed." Knowing this to be our national peculiarity, what are our reflections about the sale of SHAKSPERB'S birthplace ? We tremble lest that memento of the greatest poet the world ever saw should become the possession of an unworthy purchaser. What a dis grace would it not be to every man and woman in the island were this " holy ground" of genius to be profaned by the footsteps of a huckstering show man ! What a fact to record in the history of British literature, that the shrine to which the illustrious of all lands had resorted as pilgrims, had been " knocked down" to a mercenary speculator by the hammer of an auctioneer ! What an antithesis to inscribe among our national memo rabilim that the only relics of the mighty being who flourished in the days of Queen ELIZABETH should be sold like any vulgar curiosity in the days of Queen VICTORIA I Yet that event may possibly, will pro bably occur within -a few days, unless the enthu siasm already evinced throughout the United King dom be sustained.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL and a special jury.) CRIM. CON.-HENEAGE V. BROMLEY. This was an inquiry to assess damages for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff was said to be a gentleman of large independent pr.perty, and the defendant is the son of Sir Robert Bromley. After the pleadings had been opened, and Sir J. Jervis was about to address the jury— The Learned Counsel said that before his Learned Friend made any observations on this painful ca:-e, he had, on the part of the defendant, to say that he felt deeply than he could express pain and anguish for his guilty conduct, and, admitting what had been charged against him, he was also most anxious to declare that he did not in the slightest degree impute any unkind conduct on the part of the plaintiff towards his wife, still less to reflect on the unhappy lady who is the subject of this inquiry, and who is no doubt now under his (de fendant's) protection. The defendant is the only son of Sir Robert Bromley, and he held a commis sion in the army, which was all the property he ever had, and which he had disposed of, and the produce was now nearly all gone. He was aware that he had done the plaintiff a deep and serious injury, and, he deserved order to spare the pain punishment, he was c k o n n o t w ent n which must res ult f rom a protracted inquiry, he would make all the reparation in his power ; and although he knew that h t g o bear that it ; but no pecuniary compensation would be commensurate to his offence, he would at once submit to a verdict for 5001., which was the heaviest damages it was in his power to pay. Sir J. JERYIS, after consulting with his clients, said that as the defendant had made such a full dis claimer of any improper conduct on the part of the plaintiff, who did not, however, for a moment shrink from an inquiry in public, which defendant had made in private ; yet, in order to screen the unfortunate offspring who were the alliance between the plaintiff and the unfortunate lady, and as the proposition was made in good faith a verdict for Sow. would be taken, for, although no money could compensate for the injury done to the plaintiff, it was necessary, uncl2r the forms of the law, for the plaintiff to come before a jury and obtain substantial damages in order to ground pro ceedings to dissolve the marriage, as it would be ut terly impossible for the plaintiff to live again with his wife without misery. The UNDER- SHERITF said, this being a civil case the parties had a right to agree, and all the jury had to do was to return a verdict for SOO/. The plaintiff's rank in life or the amount of da mages sued for was not mentioned. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) James Bruce was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with illegally pawning a watch, the property of Charles Corby, No. 7, York street. It appeared that some time in the month of April last the co nplainant entrusted a silver watch to the prisoner, to take to the watchmaker's, in order to be repaired. Some few weeks after complainant called for his watch, when he was surprised to find that the prisoner had been and taken it away. He subsequently met him in the street, and taxed him with fraudulently obtaining his watch. The prisoner did not deny it, and admitted that he had pawned it at Young's, in Princes-street, and that he would redeem it, and re store it to him. Complainant accepted these terms ; but instead of the prisoner fulfilling his promise he ab sconded, and nothing more was heard of him till the complainant met him this morning, and gave him into custody. The prisoner admitted the c harge, but pleaded dis tress as the cause. He added that if he had time he should be ebb- to redeem it. Mr. BINGHAM said he should order him to be de it to the complainant, he (Mr. mined, and whet he redeemed the watch and restored Bingham) should decide upon what fine or punishment he should inflict. CLERKEN-------WELL--(111-1S DAY.) James La, ensun was charged with furiously driving a cart along Ray-street, Clerkenwell-green, whereby Thomas Harrison was knocked down, and received such serious injuries that he now lies at the hospital in a very dangerous state. It appeared from the statement of a constable of the G division that the prisoner was driving towards Clerk enwell-green at a rate of eight or nine miles an hour ; and while Harrison,who was a very old and infirm man, was in the act of crossing Ray-street, ht was overtaken by the prisoner's cart, and betore be could get out of the way the shift caught him under the left arm and pitched him with great violence to the ground, when the wheel passed over his thigh, which it fractured in a shocking manner. He was otherwise much cut and bruised, and received some severe internal injuries. A certificate having been put in stating the inability of Harrison to leave the hospital, the prisoner was re manded. The incumbency of Barnard Castle church and the mastership of the Hospital of St. John's, Durham, have become vacant by the death of the Rev. James Davidson. The managers of hospitals in Paris are deserted chil. The Bristol Consistorial Court has sentenced a brewer, named Favans, to stand in church in a white sheet, for baying defamed the character ofd yoking 7/01:4&11. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm iales 3,000 bales. Shares were very dull, and but few buying orders were in the market. The Bank of England appears, according to the state ment made in ♦arious quarters, to have been more liberal to applicants for discounts within the last two days, though charging 6 and 7 per cent., according to the date of the paper offered. The failure of Dickson and Co., at Belfast, and continued rumours of other houses here and at Liverpool, place the discount houses in some perplexity as to the bills which they can safely accept, but even they have better means of information than the merchants at large. Recent accounts from Leipzic mention that a confer ence of deputies from the Zollverein States is to be held in that city next month, with the view of establish ing an uniform system for the transaction of exchange business. Some doubt is thrown upon the statement in a Paris journal as to the French loan being likely to come out in November, for it is believed that everything, as to time, will depend upon the condition of the money market. It does not appear that any notice has been taken of a statement made by Lord Lincoln during the debate on Colonization in the late Parliament, that the settlement of the Canadian provinces is prevented by the waste lands being appropriated, though unoccupied. A party writing in the Toronto Patriot, to hand by the last ar rival, states— _ _ " This must mean that they are appropriated to indi viduals, though not occupied by them, and therefore that they are unavailable for the settlement of emigrant, or that they are appropriated for the service of the Co lonial Legislature. If the latter, it is utter nonsense; if the former, it is utter falsehood. Believing that the former (arising out of a regular phobia for Canada, where his character is so well understood, and has been so tho oughly exposed), is far more consonant to Mr. Buller's character, we state explictly that it is calculated to mislead most mischievously. It conceals the fact that there are millions of acres of fertile lands in Upper Canada alone, available for settlement. Certainly, much exaggeratio❑ has prevailed on this head ; but we speak within hounds when we state,- that not less than Live millions of acres of fertile, healthy land, may be had, exclusive of the tract between the Ottawa, Lake Huron, and Lake Nepissing, and exclusive of enormous quanti ties et pine lands, which may probably be found unfit for culture." The English Securities have been flatter again this morning, and there have been further sales of Money stock. It is probable, however, that these are induced by the settlement of the account, which is against the speculators for a rise, who are understood to have very heavy differences to pay. Consols have been 861 to 87 for transfer, and 87i to f for account. Exchequer bills have been at par to 3s. premium. Bank Stock has been 195 to 196, and India Stock 241. The Foreign Stocks are entirely neglected. The only bargains have been in Mexican, at 18i, and in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 56. Nominally Spanish Three per Cents. are 293 to 30, and Portuguese Four per Cents. as low as 24 to 26. The accounts from Lisbon are not considered to be by any means favour able, although there is no doubt but that the policy of the British Government will be enforced, or the Queen be left to her fate. In railway shares the feature is still rather paucity of business than pressure of sales, but, is the absence of buyers, and want of confidence, it is difficult to ascer tain the tendency of the market.
