In reply, Colonel ~.tegu„ under 18th of Fcoruary, stated that he had received a communication from the Peru vian Alinister for Foreign Affairs, recommending that the committee should send an ~gent to Lima to conclude such arrangement as might be found practicable, and desiring him, if the committee objected thereto, to acquaint the Peruvian Government, "in order that it might adopt the necessary measures"—a point of information which he, the Colonel, had already transmitted (under date 16th of January), in consequence of an intimation be had previously received front the committee, that it was not practicable for them to take the proposed course. Under these circumstances, the Chair man addressed to Colonel Yturreguy the following further communication : BANK of ENGLAND, March 9, 1847. • COURT of DIRECTORS of the GOVF,R ORS and COMPANY of the BANii. of ENGLAND, GIVE .• • ,li zt. „.„..

The counties in question have no doubt a rental of five millions to be taxed, but how far will it go, and by what kind of measure is it to he made available ? Lord John Russell thinks the sheet-anchor upon which he can rely for a safe administration of out-door relief is the local board, with its strong interest in keeping down the local rate. Suppose the boards should look so very sharply after this interest, as to refuse to assess a rate four times, five times, or ten times the amount of any former one? Castlebar has begun—becoming restive even upon a matter of a shilling in the pound. The local board there is at an end, and the rate is to be made and levied by paid Govern ment officers. The Ballina board has struck a new rate of 12,0001., which it declares at the same time cannot be col lected. A loan therefore is demanded to prevent twelve hun dred wretches from being turned out to die. The Scaritf union likewise wants a loan. The Cavan union has even fingered a trifle of the Government money. What is to he done, if the guardians of these western and southern unions will not, or cannot, collect the rates? Dissolve them, ani send down paid officers. The paid officers can easily assess, but how are they to collect? Does it seem likely that any considerable rate can be got from the occupiers? If not, is there any provision for putting receivers upon the estates of the landlords? We really do not see how, if the law is to be vindicated in the west and south, it will be possible to stop short of a system in which local agency will be entirely at an end, and by which the administration of relief will become purely a Government operation, the rents being collected as rates to defray the expenditure. What, then, is to be done? It is clear that some other large measure, something more than an extension of employment which ana to landlords will create, something which will reduce the pauperism of those districts within manageable limits, is an indispensable preliminary to the working of any poor-law. Here lies the deficiency of the Government policy. When is it to be, or is it to be supplied? NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 11.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Bloodhound, Lieutenant-Commander Robert Phillips, came in this morning from Lisbon and Oporto. Besides dispatches for the Admiralty, she brings the letters of the Oriental and Peninsular Company's steam-ship Tiber, lost off Oporto on the 21st ult. The Bloodhound is the bearer of letters from her Majesty's ships Trafalgar, 120, Captain J. N. Nott ; Hibernia, 104, Captain P. Richards ; Canopus, 84, Captain F. Moresby ; Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Corry ; America, 50, Captain Sir T. Maitland ; Thetis, Captain Codrington ; the steam sloop Medea, Commander Hammond ; and the steam vessel Jackal], Commander Western. Since she came in harbour the Bloodhound towed from Barnpool into the Sound her Majesty's sloop Mariner, 12, Commander Mathison, under a salute from her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. J. Leeke. The Mariner is this day to be paid advance, and in spected by Admiral Sir John Louis, when she will be ready for sea. selrrtu PORTSMOUTH, rnedtj har /i b ti ou ß r Cll las l t 2 e .— ye T ni h n e g, Cu th r e le o w ffi m eis o i rt e a x r p -v e e r sc mental trial having been declared eminently successful. Colonel Armstrong, of the Royal Artillery, and Captain Chads, of the Excellent, were the t.fficers appointed by the Admiralty to report upon this trial, which took place at St. Helen's yesterday, under the personal superin tendence the inventor. Lieutenant Julius Roberts, of the Royal Marine Artillery, and in the presence also of Captain Henderson, C. 8., of the Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Wilford, Royal Artillery, Professor Main, of the Royal Naval College, Lieutenants Schomberg, Bai. table, Bains, Sm., of the Royal Marine Artillery, Lieuts. Hodgkinson and Burroughs, of the Excellent, and other off ATLAS, Nov. 28, 1846. A book of this kind. brought out even without much pretension, would be indispensable to every gentleman's library, every merchant's -ountins-house, and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with no utmost care —its materials being collected through the most au thentic channels, and embracing in its range every head of personal and commercial intelligence essential to the completeness of such a wore, we cannot suppose that any house, public or private, which can afford a b wk of reference, will be without this compendious volum..a. The arrangement is admirable. You can find any name you want in a moment. All the heads are clear and complete—the Coert—trades—streets—offices—hotels, forming, upon the whole, a mass of local information such as could not be brought together with out extraordinary Industry, assisted by an entire command of all equisite official facilities. Is a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1 846 . This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is nit re:erable to its mere connexion with the Post-office; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man ner of collecting the iformation ; and a larger portico of the work that' heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of Compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor taut alterations in this volatile for 1847, and added to its bulk with out a y increase of price. The ' Postal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to Insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking neneteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another oolumn; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HER.S.LD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post-o2lee Directory for 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work sO laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. Tau pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements unon its valuable predecessor, brit with no enlerge' merit in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know not whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made In the ensuing session as was done In the last, to wrest it from the h Inds of the present ,proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, If they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere eonnexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared." Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Old Boswell-court, Temple ear, and all booksellers. . " 13, Austin-friars, Feb. 26, 1847.

The powers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual volume appear real y unlimited. Publishe i during a series of f rig t:ght years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by a yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce expands in gal larger measure, the "Post-office Directory" has bee come enormously enhanced in bu k, as also in the complicated ariety of its indispensable ontents The admirable .uccess with which the really enormous 0 fficalties of his task have been overcome by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience of many years ; and we need say little more than that the present volume presents the seam tokens as its predecessors, of Intel igent method and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable compass, and producing in lucid order its millone of facts and reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn everything he ought to k now about every one of his co-dwellers in thegreat metropolis, their businesses, as wel as everything neccs sary to facilitate him in his own. The very rapid extension of our railway system, and the new postal arrangements with same conti nental states, have rendered necessary some extensive additions to the sections appropriated to Conveyance and the Post-office. We find the information given under those heads not only as full and ac curate as it was well possible to make them, but more new and re cent than we should have , Nought attainable in a work of such mag nitude. Prefixed to the volume is about the best Map of London we happen to have met with. TIMES, Nov. 18, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this work—the volume for 1847—is now issued. It is a wonderfully different affair from the old Directoty, which used to consist of little or nothing more than the alphabetical list of tradesmen ; it comprises now, and has for some years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very carefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of course, the postal treaty with Prussia has not been everloOked ; and hi minor points the work seems to bear the test of search into matters in which changes have been very recent. MORNING POS le Nov. 19, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has ust been issued. Any dissertation on the usefulness of this Volume, after its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the metropolis for so many years past. must be quite unneeessary. Suf fice it to say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede ce,sors, while the alterations and corrections in the various depart ments have been carried down to the latest period. MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546, Balky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto been, the volume for 1547 comes forth under circumstances of still artier enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be wanted by the merchant and trader Is placed within convenient access. The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal octo,o pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter of compilation, and awal:ening astonishment at the comprehensive ness of the machinery which could bring within a common focus so much varied and scattered intelligence —embracing, as it does, a multiplicity of heads, end involving the services of a vast number of con , ributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be matched M the whole world, for such 'a mammoth g agregate of local and specific informa tion is no less a typographical wonder than a Prodigious monument of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so of separate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only one, it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the ornatnental. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the Government offices, and a tecord of official personages. This is fol lowed by a "Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every thoroughfare, and the points at which the streets are intersected by those at right angles ; while the "Commercial and Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes " Trades' Directory," in which the names are alloceted under their respective callings. The "Law Directory" is a list of judge - , Queen's counsel, sergeants, banisters, attorneys, &c., with it cata logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, mei thuir peculiari ties of jurisdiction. The " Court Directory" comprises the addresses ot 'the nobility and gentry ; and the "Parliamentary Directery" is a record of the e ember: of the House of Lords and Commons, with an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and ceunties returning Members to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c. The " Postal D:rectory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o every Post-oflic i t the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails arc dispatched front Loud, ; the rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road made, &c. The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities. the public companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the churches and dispels, the newspapers, &c. ; and tie " • onveyance Directory" includes the railway tables, the conch and booking offices, the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Bankin4 and Assurance Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the multi tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of suborffina.te directories, which meet every conceivable want, pre senting a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of the metropolis and of the commercial world. Every person is to be found under his proper section, from a prime minister down to a sheriff's officer—every establishment, trout a palace to a lodging house. The editor, in his pretace, takes occasion to congratulate himself on the many improvem , nte he has this year introduced, principally flowing from eke employment of '• selected agents," instead of the ordinary carriers of the Post-office. Among the specific alterations, the sew postage treaty with Pru.sit, which cams into operation on the Ist et January, 1847, and disturbs to a considerable extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, seems the most important MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846. The "I ost-office London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. Though it is 'apparently limited to London, it is In reality a national work. None of the leading towns can well be without it ; it must Le an essential to every counting-home ni the kingdom, as well as to every w polrakc of roiltsbkuistifde;ss. i n a d and th e extenta bout d m m e u p t i t s . o lt f t i i t s . an . e l f a u v l ia d l u e -- a t .i all e s are truly wonderful. Being prepared " under the immediate and s cial patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest Ind comp r. means were, of course, at the command of the pro prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy Of the voluminous end crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is t he eu can - e i g hth annual publieation. Few commercial and trading m no w require particula r descri p tion of the reall important and useful information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages of this Di rectory. Preceded by an admirable and perseicuoui Map of London, prepared expressly, it is declared, fur the work, by Mr. B. R. Davies, there are divisions comprising, among other information, "Official," "Street," "Commercial," "Trades," "Law,' "Court," "Parlia mentary," " Postal,' " City,' "Conveyance," " Bankin,," and many other Directories. The hope is expressed ha the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found " in all respects to equal the best of its predscessors." From very consider able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and Information en matters which it must be so difficult, labori .us, and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming wish is liberally realised. It net only equals the best of its prede cessors, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are several important alterations and addition• largely adding to the usefulness of the book. It is intimate d, and trialy, that although all competition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per fect the extraordinary work. In speaking of pact success, it is observed that it has been, "even in a pecuniary point of view, bene ficial to the public, is proved by the tact that important Improve-• meats and additions are manually made without any increase of price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have been the case, had the public patronage been divided." With reference to the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be profitable to provide such varied materials —and materials constantly changing and requiring so much and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into the " postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and complete ; and must such increase the daily, it might be more truly pronounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia caused very considerable changes in the rates of postage as effecting the Austrian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the German States, Hamburg, Manover, Lubeck, Meekienburgh, Olden burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtemburg, &c. &c. Scc., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the Ist of January, 1817." The other changes are not only numerous, but all the intelligence is announced to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the work are of the highest order, and render it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for its Completeness, fulness, and usefulness. SUlt, Nov. 18,1846. The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it is. The " Post-office Directory" has been foe seine, years under the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he hectic:, lie manager of this work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-Ake Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of ma:sing', the proprietor of this gigantic work cureless. Ile is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a cmtinuance of the same untiring energy by v:hich the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Directory" lor Ibl7, is even more highly finisliee in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the I. , The extent and minuteness of the details furnished, render vJhilt indispensable to every commercial and mercantile establish- cat. So admirably, however, is this multifarious information digested and a:rang , :d, that there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in re?erring to the articular page required to furnish the intermathei —a marvellous nstance of clearness of arrangement in a an ork consisting 01 upwards of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pa;es. Timis Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can Mr a inement entertain a doubt; and const ering the eotnpleteness and fulness of the Litormatien furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published is really wonderfill GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846. Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just made its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor mation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of business ; and scarcely less necessary, Indeed, for every one else, who requires to know anything concerning the trades, profeFsiens, and localities of Lie great metropolis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense which it has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have been immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly knows widen most to be struck with and admire—the excelled` arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city which requires such a directory. The vo:ume, moreover, contaiuq an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this highly. important and useful work has just been issued ; and we must confess that its bulky appearance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect that the price remains until ered, although the expense of collecting a n l iatter.

Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we are not surprised that other Directories should have gone to the tomb of ali the Capulets. BRITANNIA., Nov. 21, 1846. The French people have done themselves some credit by their in dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the industrial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many in stances of superiority to :center issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart ment. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private agents, the changes of residence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse quently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univ4r sally established, bills at the Post-office and throughout the metro polis, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous. JOHN . BULL, Nov. 28, 1846.

NSW SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES —Lord John Russell does not at all overstate the difficulty of his path when he says that clouds andelarkness rest over Ireland, and legislation is besetwith perils, Often and often as statesmen may have thought that they dtad come to the bottom of Irish distress, no one can deny that a worse than all has arrived, and, moreover, that a worsestill remains. The half of a populous island, usually verging on fetnine, now actually suffers that dreadful extremity; nor is there any appearance of early relief. The usual food of the people has perished, and threatens not to return for a period far beyond the calculations of man. The only storehouse to Which the public purveyor can look for relief is that natura l magazine created by the industry of the people, over and above their own simple wants, and usually reserved for the payment of rent and other outgoings • and the supplies provAdentially arriving from distant shores. The former of these is that which common sense and economy would teach us most to depend upon. But here is the difficulty. To -arrest that nourishing and fertilising stream on its course, ; to de tain it on the spot, to convert it into the relief of distress, the wages of labour, and the material of reproductiontis at least an apparent and possible loss to those who have hitherto exacted, wasted, or alienated this store. Hence' a serious struggle between the rights of the many and the rights of the few—between starving peasants and straitened pro. prietors—between famine and pestilence on thcone hand, and decay of fortune and position on the other... Such are the perilous alternatives before the House. Suchj.he clouds and darkness over Irish affairs. For our own pet, we do not hesitate to avow, as we have ever mowed similar occasions, that at such a crisis the few must way to the many,the part to the whole. Wnile we moat .`. and at the same time most gladly, believe that - the pro prietors exaggerate the sacrifices demanded at their hands, we assert with all boldness that land was created for man, and not man for land ; that landlords are o for the people, and their peculiar interests are only ' terial and subordinate to the good of the whole. A gen the field must lay hold of the stores that he finds, and • !..- them in the first instance to that purpose which he is bgdtsd to con sider a paramount object—the maintenance * his army. The compensation he may think properifa. afford to the owners is another and a secondary question.. What is Lord John Russell but our commander-in-chid in an unex 'ampled campaign ; Ireland the field, famine the foe, and the , army a vast population, without magazines, order, material, uka,word, any other resource than the bakSeiavd skill of their chief ? The necessity of the crisis admits riot the usages, or, rather, the abuses of peace. If an evil custom has deprived the labourer of his hire, this is just the time to found a more equitable system. Labour and wages, popula tion and wealth, have suffered a long divorce, and must now be reconciled. Grant that the change is great, and what a man would not willingly undertake; it is forced on the Legis lature. Society is reconstructed in disaster; each new birth is in throes, and institutions are the monuments of wrong. In " clouds and darkness" it is necessary to take a short and simple rule, the guidance of great moral truth. The first law of nature, that the people must be fed, and that more particularly from the work of their hands, is the clue of this labyrinth. Its the public weal an enlightened statemen will discern the cloud by day and the pillar by night through this terrible wilderness ; and public weal is an empty name, unless it includes the relief of those who are ready to perish, and the employment of those who are akle to work, but have not the opportunity. The Minister takes an unassailable position when he rests the new Irish Relief Bill on the new facts of the case. lie is entitled to call it the child of necessity. It is contrary to the theories of his less experienced age, and less fearful tunes. Ireland has under gone a virtual revolution. The food of independent poverty has failed. The spontaneous charity of the lower classes has been exhausted. The armies of mendicancy have been destroyed or disbanded. All that miserable system which was rather an apology for society than a civilized society itself, has fallen to the ground. Politicians held it up as long as they could. Secretaries of State found it convenient, and eulogized the noble and trustworthy custom of a per petual and inbreeding beggary. The right of preying on the infant resources of rising enterprise, and blighting the first Moons of prosperity, was cried up as a sacred and ir fa.lible refuge, which it would have been im pious to supplant with the coarse expedient of a poor's rate. All that is passed. Providence, not man, has put an end to that folly. The cottier remains without a crop ; the beggar with nt a dole. A physical revolution has over thrown the reign of mendicancy and conacte. There is no possible, no conceiveable alternative, but to create another system on the ruins, or, rather, in the place of the old. Time is the greatest innovator, and we only submit to his laws when we erect a new system on a new foundation—that is, the present facts of the case. Without a real poor-law, offer ing relief to the destitute and employment to the idle, how are we to meet the phenomenon of a people in the midst of comparative abundance, but deprived of their wonted food; paying rent, but without a maintenance; depending on a root that will not thrive, or on neighbours that cannot give? A great crisis justifies and demands " a great experi ment." The dictates of nature are interpreted by the voice of the people; and from all sides are returned " innumerable echoes " to the Ministerial decision. In vain does Mr. Shaw invoke that jealousy of popular interference, and that reaction against an out-door pressure, which Legislatures are so apt to experience. For our own humble selves, we can truly reply that Mr. Shaw ascribes to us an influence which we neither possess nor de sire. The people of this island, who are now imperiously de manding that Ireland shall no longer be without a good poor-law, would be as little disposed to ascribe that unani mous wish to our simple suggestion, as the House of Com mons itself. What would our words have been worth had we not known that we appealed to a national sentiment, and to the simple facts of the case? We have no strength but truth, and we claim no credit but for having stripped the question of all prejudice and disguise. CHRONICLE.—The last of the Irish confiscations is at hand. History records four great ones, which were all, so to speak, in the same direction. The fifth will be something like a reversal of three of those ancient injustices. Eliza beth, the first James, Cromwell, and William created, by successive batches, the greater portion of the landed proprie tary of Ireland. The plantation of James in the north still stands secure. It can bear an English poor-law almost as well as England. But the descendants of the Elizabethan adventurers, and of the Cromwellian and Williamite soldiery, had their doom pronounced last night by Lord John Russell. The Noble Lord spoke with the tone of a man whose mind is made up. He is navigating in a fog, but he has at least de termined upon one thing to be done, and we scarcely expect to see him waver until he feels that the ship is aground. Let us not, however, be supposed capable of doing injustice to a man for whom difference of opinion cannot abate our respect. sin applying an extended poor-law to Ireland, we have no shadow of doubt that Lord John Russell acts from a strong conviction that it will improve the condition of the people of that country. His sanguine anticipations, the bright colours in which he paints the future, the touch ing warmth of language and manner in which he appeals to every noble feeling in the Irish breast, and the generousnu confidence in which he imagines priest, peasant, pr prietor combining to work a poor-law, without a taint of selfish passion to give rise to abuse, would convince us, if we did not already know as much from the character of the Noble Lord, that he has full faith in the soundness of his own policy. No Minist er , we believe, has ever dealt with this painful and oppressive Irish question in a more honest and earnest spirit. We can only lament that facts the broadest and most palpable fail to make their due impression upon his mind, that in employing means to attain useful ends he should seem insensible to al! breaks and chasms in the reasonings by which he connects causes and effects to gether, and that he should waste unrivalled opportunities and resources in reliance upon a delusion which must connect the memory of his Admini s tration with the diser of signal failure. The statement of last night had reference, first, to the extraordinary relief works, upon which nearly three millions and a half of the Irish population are now de pendent for support ; and, secondly, to the um for a pteorinhae nent extension of the Irish poor-lase. With reference t first point, we shall simply repeat, as bearing upon the second, the amount of expense, and the fact of the existence of grievous abuses. The expenditure up on the publ has increased thus:— September and October £54,000 208,000 November ••• -• , 545 000 ..„ December *** 736,000 January ••• •• 944,000 February This is independent of the Co;nufiss x ending at least penses. We are at this moment, then, ;hit and some other ex -250,0001. per week, out of which, accordioge t P o the d statement which we published yesterday, ten western an southern at the rate of eight Hoppe, or counties must be receiving millions a year, for the relief of their poor. As to abuses. the were inevitable. The superintendence of the t. Board of Works is as perfect as it is in the nature of suds a t iing to be, but it cannot secure the honest perfomance of task work. It has been necessary to adapt the task to the powers of the feeble, who without such merciful consideration would have starved. But the strong, as might be expected, have taken advantage of the laxity, and we hear of the able-bodied coming lazily at eleven o'clock in the day to do the easy work of a woman er a child. This has happeo;dw, :lr- say O s raer i e i ti evitably happened , ev en under a vigorous a superintendence. Lord John Russell, however, maintains that such experience is anything but conclusive against out door relief to the able-bodied under a poor •law. The prin ciple of giving out-door relief to the able-bodied, we can no longer doubt, will be legalized in Ireland with a bond fide in tention to carry it into effect. In what manner the Govern ment is ultimately to withdraw its hand from the immense mass of destitution which it now sustains, and to let the weight down upon the boards of guardians we do not yet understand. Orders, indeed, are issued ' to disbend the ar my of paupers upon the works by succes sive detachments, but as they leave the works they come upon the soup kitchens. They will still feed out of the Treasury. Six months will bring the harvest, but w hat ill the harvest b rin g ? Taketelx: s, ten representing counties of a the south and west, in which 480,000 persons, population of two millions, and forming two-thirds of the whole labouring class, are now hanging upon the Govern ment. Assume that the land will be generally tilled--though how it is becom e so, when the dismissal of the workmen is only to begin on the 20th of March, we cannot see. Its the most favourable event that we ecxacnephtopuefefwor, as what luxuriesfor harvest bring? Not potatoes, the rich. The cheap and productive potato of the peas ant will not be grow n. The potato acre will re quire at least two acres of grain to replace it. But we can scarcely expect so much as one. Th e land which, in the or dinary course would have grown potatoes in the present year, instead of being so much added to breadth sown with corn, will grow e some green crop only p artiall y usable as hum an food, c.! will down in pasture. How, then, are thelaid two millions of paupers in the south and west to be got off the soup kitchens? Suppose them reduced to one million , i s the one mil lion to be handed over to the care of the boards of guardiaus? No one who reads Lord John Russell's speech can avoid feeling that it does not deal w i t h the trem tremendous difficulty arising from the mass of destitution in ce rtain dis tricts. He expe cts a p oor• law to work in those districts, without showing any clear conception of theamountofwpiatuh-: t t endure peristn which the ma chiner y of a pour - law ca out breaking down. What will be the extent of the ordi nary pauperism of the ten counties, if our chief reliance for removing it is to be placed upon a poor-law? Their work houses are built to accommodate 40,000 persons. They now ' contain 50,0 00 . Let the aged and infirm be removed, and let the fad of able - bedied power. y roll i nto the space so va cated. Fifty thou sand wi l l ee housed. One-twentieth of the million whom we have sueeosed to remain destitute after h ar vest will be off the eel C the soup kit c h ens . The towns, which even now tor the }leo,' and infirm only are levying 4e. and ss. rates, will be making assessments of 10e.in the pound, though with no great prospect of collecting them.

A $7 551 621 706 251 2,965 6,614 16,075 Yesterday the firing commenced soon after eleven, with shells (loaded) weighing 2001 b. each ; two dis• charges being made with 51b. of powder each, two with 81b., two with 121 b., two with 151 h., and 18 with the full service charge of 201 b. The times of flight with , each of these dischlarges were . perfect -as from any mortar fixed on a land battery at an elevation of 45 degrees—the angle at which Lieutenant Roberts's mor tar was suspended—thereby proving the correctness of range it would always give (4,200 yards) with a full service charge. The whole of the pillars and framework which sup ported the mortar were not in the slightest degree shaken or moved. The deck planking was a little raised by the explosive effects of the charge. After proving most satisfactorily the efficacy of the mortar slung upon Lieu tenant Roberts' plan, a trial was made of it" fixed" after the usual manner, to see the difference of the two prin ciples more forcibly. The mortar was therefore secured. as well as its peculiar position would admit, by means of chocks behind, to prevent its recoiling, and to cause the shock to act downwards, as in land or all- r fixt'd mor i,rs, and fired first with a charge of 51b. of powder, which produced bw litVe consequence beyond the chocks being forced out and the muzzle jumping upwards; two other discharges were then made with 121 b. and 201 h. of powder, which produced a strikingly manifest impression on the vessel, causing her to plunge deep into the water, forcing the muzzle of the mortar upwards with a sudden jerk and striking it forcibly against the cress bar, on which it is mainly suspended, flattening the edge of the muzzle and also the links of the chain cable supporting it. The ship also commenced to show considerable weakness from the concussion, which left no doubt but that a succession of charges fired upon this "fixed" principle would soon destroy the vessel. This most in contestably decided the question of the vast superiority of the slung over the fixed mortar. The Bloodhound steam-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Phillips, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Tagus, last from Plymouth, where she yesterday landed all her dispatches, mails, &c. She left Lisbon this day fortnight, when the Hibernia, Trafalgar, Canopus, Su perb, America, Thetis, and Jaekall steamers were there The Thetis was ordered home to repair the damages she sustained by getting aground on entering Lisbon. The Superb and America were to accompany her to the chops of the Channel, to which time they would compete in sailing under the orders of Captain Corry, of the Superb. The Jackal! iron steamer had been aground, and on being hauled up ou the beach at Lisbon it was discovered that the iron on her bottom was worn to within a quarter of an inch in thickness.

The Talbot, 26, Captain Sir Thomas Raikes T. Thomp son, Bart., is hourly expected here from South America with a second freight of money. We do not clearly understand the terms on which the naval authorities manage these things, but we apprehend it is scarcely reconcileable with the principles of strict justice for one officer, and that one too, a man of title, and, we may thence presume, of fortune, to bring home two freights in the course of one term of service, when there are so many poor officers to whom such a matter would be a real God -send. The Talbot is ordered, on her arrival here, to be paid off all standing, and to be immediately recommissioned to carry meal and other provisions to Ireland. It is understood she will be officered and man ned from the flag ships.

They are under the necessity in consequence of taking the liberty to point out to your Excellency the position of the foreign debt of Peru in this country. " Upwards of twenty years have now elapsed since any dividend has been paid to the bondholders. On the 13th of May, 1842, the Peruvian Consul in London transmitted to the committee a copy of the decree of the Government of Peru, dated at Lima, 15th of January, of that year, of which the following is a translation : [Here follows the decree to the effect that the Peruvian Republic would cause to be deposited in the Bank ofEngland one-half of the net proceeds arising to the republic from the sale of guano in Europe to form a fund towards the liquids-. tion of the foreign debt, and that pending this accumula tion the Government would send a commissioner to the bond holders in London to arrange the mode of payment of their entire claims.] "In a further communication from the same Consul, dated May 21, 1842, he stated, in answer to an inquiry from the committee, that the amount to be derived from the guano contract fcr the purposes of the dividends would altogether depend upon the successful introduction and value of this article of manure amongst agriculturists in Great Britain and other countries. " On the 10th of November, 1843, in reply to an inquiry from this 'committee as to whether any thuds had deposited in the Bank of England, and whether any steps had b( en taken to carry into effect the other part of the decree of the 15th of Jinuary, 1842, the Consul wrote as follows: " In reply to your latter of the 6th instant, I beg to in form you that no funds have beef} deposited in the Bank of England according to the first article of a decree of the Peru vian Government, dated the 15th of January, 1842; neither has any sum whatever come into my hands for that or any other purpose on amwt ofthe.Governrnent. I axeitaboun• informed of shy stelisiving yet been taken in eatkilianetr with the second article of the said decree, towards arranging the settlement of the whole debt. " I regret to say that Peru has again been afflicted since the date of that decree with a succession of revolutionary movements and domestic conflicts, which have been attended by various changes of Government and measures, and I re main, in fact, without communications from the Minister or authorities relative to the loan of later date than the decree referred to, or any other subject even of a more recent period than the 29th of July, 1842.' ‘f Matters remained in this state until the arrival of your Excellency in this country. The committee were in the meantime continually expecting that as soon at the political condition of Peru should become more settled a representa tive of the Peruvian Republic would be dispatched to this country. In the month of July last, I had the honour, in company with some other members of the committee, of an interview with your Excellency, the result of which inter ! view was that your Excellency undertook to communicate Keith the Peruvian Government in such a manner as you trusted would lead to a satisfactory arrangement of the fo reign debt. " Seven months have now elapsed since the date of that in terview, and the only information which the committee now receive from 3-our Excellency is an invitation from the Go vernment of Peru to send an agent to Lima to arrange with the Government the adjustment of this debt. In the meanwhile the bondholders have seen that the article of guano, upon the suscessful consumption of which in this country the immediate means of the Government to meet.. the charge of its foreign debt were stated mainly to depend, has found complete acceptance in this country, and has been introduced into general consumption at a remunerating price. " Permit me, sir, on behalf of the committee and the long-suffering bondholders, respectfully to place before you the following considerations:— " 1. That the Government of Peru borrowed this money in London; that the interest thereon is payable in London; and that, consequently, it is in this city alone that any pro positions should be made for adjusting the liquidation of that debt. "2. That the Committee have no authority from the bondholders at large to dispatch an agent to Peru, nor any funds wherewith to bear the expenses of such a mission. " 3. That no individual, or body of men, has the power to compromise the rights of the bondholders. It is the duty of the committee, as repre sen ti ng t h e i r i nterests, to confer with any representative of Peru on suitable terms of adjust ment, and to bring such terms to the consideration of the bondholders; but the ultimate decision thereon must rest with the bondholders themselves. "4. That the Republic of Peru is bound not only by every obligation of public honour, good faith, and integrity to proceed without delay to the adjustment of its foreign debt, but by the special promise to do so contained in its decree of the 15th of January, 1842. " 5. That the produce of the article of guano notoriously furnishes the Government with ample means for deg so. " I need add nothing to enforce the weight of the on siderations. Your Excellency must see that there is no ground of equity or justice on which the adjustment of this matter can any longer be postponed, and that the Govern ment of Peru, after having five years since engaged to send a commissioner to London to effect this arrangement, should now, when it has its official representative in this capital, invite the bondholders to send an agent to Lima to effect the adjustment there, is a course of proceeding which could not have been looked for at its hands.—l have, &c., " G.

The company was fashionable and exceedingly numerous, and was evidently composed of persons who had the most perfect appreciation of the art which they were assembled to patronise. Indeed, the rapid advance of high musical taste amongst us is in no way more remarkably manifested than in the extemporaneous criticisms, and judi cious fervour (if one may so speak) of the visitors at those musical reunions, which are becoming more and more in vogue every season. The professor on this occasion was supported by a large number of professional artists, but our space will not allow us to go in detail though the partku lars of his very rich programme. Miss Lee, Miss Williams, Miss Isaacs, and Miss King, with Mr. Maurice Davis, Mr. Lee, Mr. John Cohan, and Mr. Mingard, were very much applauded and repeatedly encored in their several performances. A. prominent feature of the evening's entertainment was the introduction of several of Mr. Cohan's young pupils, some of them young ladies from seven to ten years of age, whose powers of execution, brilliancy, and ex pression upon the pianoforte surpassed anything we have met with amongst the infant performances upon this instrument, who have, however justly, been produced in public as phenomena. A young lady, Miss Levesque, not more than ten years of age, performed some of the most difficult fen t tasies of her "very difficult master with precision, delicacy, expression, and power, to which it would be impossible to do justice in terms which might not appear to be exagge rated. The same remark applies to the performance of a young Greek gentleman, Master Mayrogorjani, to whose dis tinguished father Mr. Cohan's great piece, " The Revolution of Greece," is appropriately dedicated. The professor himself performed for the first time in publ i c his last work, a sonata Iu E major, which in the unanimous and loudly expressed judgment of all professionals and amateurs present, is likely to throw into the shade all his former productions. These have been remarkable to a great extent for their brilliancy of effect— this for its classical structure, grand expression, and profound inspiration. The first movements took the audience by sur prise, and it was generally and unhesitatingly taken as a newly-discovered work of Beethoven's, likely to prove as ef fective as the lately celebrated "quartet." The sonata has every characteristic of the great master, to whose school Mr. Cohan of right belongs, as the pupil of Rees, who was Beet hoven's only pupil, except the present King of Prussia. Cohan's sonata cannot fail to make a great impression on the musical world, bei , g totally different from all that he has hitherto produced. Mr. Cohan performed several pieces on the violin in the couse of the evening, in a style which proved that he is even more a master of that " sweet entrancing viol" than of even the pianoforte itself. He was most ably accompanied on the latter by Mr. Maurice Davis. The delighted company separated at a late hour. T --- T-- ..jiiE IBElt.—Captain Bingham, the commander of the unfortunate steamer Tiber, with his officers and crew, have arrived at Southampton, from Oporto, in the Madrid Captain Bingham reports that it was during the prevalence of a very thick tog the ship struck on a reef of rocks, and that in less than twenty minutes she parted amidships, and became a total wreck. It is known that the cook, a little Spanish boy, and the Spanish G eneral, Lecarte, perished. Immediately after the disaster was known her Majesty's ship Bloodhound was dispatched to England with what small portion of the mail was saved, as well as letters, papers, and dispatches to the Peninsular and Oriental Company. So sudden was the break up of the vessel, that not a bit of the passengers' luggage, or in fact anything of consequence, has been saved. The beach was strewed for three or four miles with portions of the wreck, stores, trunks, &c.; and these were speedily seized upon by the natives and car ried away. Captain Bingham and some of the officers and Oporto walked to Ope° after the wreck, and obtained a guard for the protection of any property that might be saved, but previous to their return to the scene of disaster, almost everything had been plundered by the thieves who crowded round the wreck in great numbers. What little was secured WAS sold on the beach previous to Captain Bingham's leav ing. The Tiber was an iron ship, built by Messrs. Tod and M'Gregor, in 1846, expressly for the Italian line. She was a remarkably fast and very handsome boat, of 800 tons, fitted with two engines of 280-horse power. She has only made three voyages to Gibraltar. and in the last was com manded by Captain Bingham, who succeeded Captain Russell, now in the Erin.
