6 .-- - , _:'VEN IN C'. EDITION. yet, alter all, he was not able to reduce the representa tives of Ireland below 108 Members. He struck off the eight—merely because he had the power to commit a glaring injustice with impunity. He ought, upon his o.vn showing, to have included the comparative rental of the two countries. He pur posely omitted to do so ; because, by correcting his ender estimates on the ether items, and by taking the comparative rental as it really was, the result would have demonstrated the right of Ireland to 170 members. She has therefore been &fronded, even on Lord Castle reagh's own calculation, of more than 60 Members. FOURTHLY.—There is another point of view, in which the fraud committed against Ireland, in the com parative inadequacy of her representation, is demon strated. It is one derived from the Reform Act itself. The principle of that Act, was to make representa tion depend on the combination of population and pro perty ; the property being evidenced by the revenue yielded to the State : a mode certainly not unfavour able to England, as a basis of comparative representa tion with Ireland. Now—let us take the population and financa returns of 1831. The population of England in that year was, in round numbers, thirteen millions—that of Ireland eight millions. The actual revenue, not of England merely, but of Great Britain, was in that year 46,5-23;21.5/. ;—that of Ireland, 6,060,897/. That is —lreland paid considerably more than one-eighth of the entire revenue. So that, at the passing of the Re form Act,—as the representation ought to hive been distributed according to population and revenue,—l shall take these in the moat unfavourable way to Ireland : I will suppose the Irish revenue to be only one-tenth of the English revenue. And I will go further, and take the English Representatives at 300 only ; and the following will still be found the right of Ireland : Ireland, (for Population), 3 to 13, on 300—gives 307 Ireland, (for Revenue), 1 to 10, on 500—gives 50 Total 357 The mean of the two being one-half, entitled Ireland to 178 Members. She has only 105, and is defrauded of the difference. Therefore there is no real Union. FIFTHLY.—Another view of the injustice done to Ireland by tise Reform Act in point of Representation, demonstrates that there is no real Union. It is this. Wales, with a population of 800,000, got en addition of four Members by the Reform Act. Ire land, with a population of eight millions, got an increase of only fine / And one of these was given to the Col lege of Dublin ! In other words, the 800,000 Welsh men were estimated as being fully four-fifths of the va lue of the eight millions of Irishmen. Again—Scotland, with a population of two millions and a half, got an increase of eight Members. Ireland, with a population of eight millions, got an increase of only five Members. Wales, before the Reform Act, had 24 Members, She get by that ,Act an increase of one to every six. Scotland had already 45 Members. Scotland obtained an addition of nearly one to every five. Ireland had 100 Members. Ireland obtained an increase of only one to every twenty. `Thus, the representation of Scotland was increased by the Reform Act, nearly one to every five. That of Wales one to every six. That of Ireland only one to every twenty The Reform Act afforded a great opportunity to re medy the injustice and inequality of the Union Statute. That opportunity was not availed of. On the con trary, an additional insult and injustice was done to Ireland. There is, therefore, no real Union. SIXTHLY.—That the Reform Act perpetuated the injustice of the Union Statute relative to the Repre sentation of Ireland, will be made still more clear by looking at the distribution of the increased Representa tives in the different counties in England ; that increase having been regulated solely by the relative population of each English county. Take, for example, Cumber land. The population of Cumberland in 1831 was 126,641. By the Reform Act, Cumberland got two additional members ; there are now four members for that county. Contrast it with Cork county. The po pulation of Cork county amounted to 713,716 ; that county got no additional representative. Cumberland has four members to represent 126,681 persons—Cork has two to represent 713,716 persons ! ! ! Northamptonshire had a population in 1831 of 179,276 ; Down, in that year, had a population of 337,571. The Reform Act gave Northamptonshire two additional members--it was an English county. The Reform Act gave Down nothing—it was an Irish county. The 179,276 inhabitants of Northamptonshire have four representatives ; the 337,571 persons in Down have but two representatives. Take Leicestershire. In 1831, it had 197,276 in habitants. The Reform Act gave to Leicestershire two additional representatives. Tipperary in 1831 bad 3E0,598 inhabitants. The Reform Act gave to Tip perary nothing ; and then:.tha English Whigs and To ries whine and cant, and affect to say that Tipperary ought to be content and satisfied! I could pursue this contrast much farther ; but 1 hays said enough to show the gross and glaring injustice done to the people of Ireland by the present represen tative system ; and I also have stated enough to secure the attention and satisfy the judgment of every reason able man. Let me add only this supposition. Suppose Ireland were the favoured country, and that England had to endure this inferiority in representation and in other rights, now inflicted upon Ireland ;—would England endure it? Or would Scotland endure such an injus tice ' Certainly not. And Ireland is weary of the endurance. This injustice to Ireland might be all very well, or at least very consistent, if you were to avow that Ire land is a subject province, and that England is the Sovereign State, entitled to dictate terms to a subju gated people. But this is not what is alleged. It is alleged that there is a Union!! And therefore the injustice of the present system is as clear as the absur dity is unquestionable of expecting redress for the Irish nation from anything else than a national and constitu tional movement for the Repeal of the miscalled Union. I know full well that English prejudice will not con descend to dwell upon the nature or amount of the iniquity perpetrated ageism Ireland, in her deficiency of due representation. The Irish complaint upon this subject will continue to be treated only with contempt and derision. But it will not the leas arouse the indig nation of the people of Ireland ; nor will it the less confirm their high and haughty determination to take all legal and constitutional means to fling aside the con tempt. and to abolish the injustice inflicted upon them. - Yes! the burning iron of insulting slavery has entered the Irish soul, and branded the people unalterably Re pealer& Yea-the young blood of Ireland burns like liquid flame in the veins of the Irish youth ; and those expressions, which may be sneered at as a species of dull poetry, are, to my knowledge, verified to the letter at present, and afford means of conjecture for the future. Seveeeritee.—My seventh objection to the allegation that there is a real Onion between these countries, is one that will be treated, even in England, with some respect and deference. It is this—that the great body of the Irish people aro totally deprived of the elective franchise. In England, one fifth of the male adult population (taking boroughs and counties together) have the elec tive franchise. In Ireland, not one-twentieth of the male adult population enjoy that franchise. In Ireland, no man in the counties at large can possess the fran chise, unless he be in the actual occupation, either by freehold, or for a fixed term of years, of lands of the nominal value of 101. per annum, but raised by legal construction to the real value of 201. per annum. In England, the richer country, the franchise is much lower than in Ireland, the poorer country ! : : In England, the rural population is not much greater than in Ireland ; that population amounting to only 6,336,000. In Ireland; the rural population amounts to 7,1427,509 inhabitants. England, for her eight millions of rural population, has 344,564 voters ; whilst Ire land, for her seven millions of rural population, has only 60,607 voters ! One riding of Yorkshire has more than one half the entire number of electors in Ireland. Let me give a few more instances of the effect of increasing in Ireland the amount of the value of pro perty entitling a person to vote, beyond the corre sponding standard in England. I will take 'the examples from the return of Par liamentary Electors, after the first registration under the Reform Act ; that being the most numerous regis tration that hail taken place in Ireland. Hertfordshire has only 93,977 inhabitants ; but it had, after the Reform Bill, 3,0 13 registered voters ; whilst Galway, with 381,564 inhabitants, had only 3,061 electors! The Isle of Wight, with 28,731 inhabit an t s , has 1,167 voters ; whilst Mayo, with 366,328 inh a bitants, bas only 1,350 electors ! and Ty rone, w i t h a population ; of 310,00 0 , has onl y 1,151 electors — that is, actually s i x t een i x t een voters less than the Isle of Wi g h t ! ! , Rutlandshire , the smallest county in E ng l an d , w i th only 19,385 inha bitants, has 1,296 voters ; w hil st Long ford, with 112,558 inhabitants, has only 1,294 ; abso lutely two less than Ratlandshire ! .' ! Again ; Hunting don, with apopul D at o io n n ecT o alf, f 47,7 1 79 inhabitants, has 2,647votherlss ; whilst only 1,44 8 voters w • itia and population of 289,14.9 , Limerick, one of the wealthiest counties 248 ,8 in Irel l i and, with an o culent agricultural population of on habitants has oily 2 , 565 electors : : Only one instance more. sabe The renal of r l pop Westmoreland Westmoreland is 43,464 —its nu e voters amounts to 4,392 ; nearly one out of every ten inhabitants. Whereas in the County of Cork the rural Population is 71:3,716 ; and the number of regis tered electors in that county is only 3,8 35 ; being scarcely one ou t o f ev ery 200 of the inhabitan ts. Need I proceed further ? The number of electors in England herself is iniquitously small, when con trasted with the entire population. But that which in England is criminally scanty and limited, has the appear ance of bountiful amplitude when contrasted with the , miserably diminished franchise in Irela nd. e The number of electors in Ire l and ' two ways. First, by the r diminished . is in higher rate of qualification :required in Ireland. Secondly, by the extremely vexa us and .expensive mode of Irish registration. I ee ec „ oiii7:4, le-ei 1., "4:r, , - 0. f .t . " LE - '‘ K,. 4.>.'4.c' sO. • fact, the people of Ireland are substantially excluded from the elective franchise. Read this contrast between the English and Irish franchises, and then tell me—on your faith and on your conscience—ls this a Union? 'Fake this fact with you ; that when I applied i o the Imperial Parliament for leave to bring in a Bill to as similate the elective franchises in England and in Ire land, 1 was refused even the poor privilege of laying my Bill on the table of the House, by an overwhelming majority of Whigs and Tories, the opposition to my motion being led by no less a person than Lord Morpeth ! ! Equalization of the franchise was the plainest jus tice ; and when this justice is contemptuously refused to Ireland by all parties—Whigs as well as Tories—is Ireland to lie down in despair, and— But I anticipate. I will again return to this topic. For the present I content myself with defying you to to allege that there is a real Union between the two countries. EIGHTHLY.—The strongest proof that there is no real Union between the countries, is to be found in the facts relative to our Corporations, taken in these points : First, in the refusal for years to grant to Ireland re formed Corporations. Secondly, in the insulting and insufficient Municipal Bill finally forced upon Ireland—giving her no other choice than that or none. _ .. ._. Scotland has had for many years a full Corporate Reform. England has had for some years a full Corporate Reform. In Ireland only ten places have had reformed Cor porations conceded to them ! But how inadequate and futile is the Irish Corporate Reform Bill ! There never was a more minutely pre- pared piece of chicanery and fraud, than the Irish Cor poration Bill. There is not one of the clauses intro duced by the Reuse of Lords, but is calculated to effect some fraudulent purpose. I will specify only three particulars—l could mention fifty. First, the commencement of the operation of the Bill is postponed for considerably more than twelve months after its passing. During that interval, the old and condemned Corporations are left in full pos session of all their peculations and abuses ; and are allowed to make the reversionary interest of the inha bitants at large in tie corporate franchises as little valuable as possible. Secondly, all the fictitious free men created before the passing of the Act—no matter how fraudulently admitted—are confirmed in their frau dulent title by an express enactment in the Irish Mu nicipal Reform Bill. Thirdly, by the English Corporate Reform Bill every person rated to the poor, no matter at what sum, is entitled to be a burgess. In Ireland, no person can be a burgess unless he is rated at 101. a year. The object manifestly is, to exclude as many as possible of the people of Ireland ; to create a diffe rent class of corporate voters ; to put as much power as possible into the hands of the aristocracy of wealth ; and to keep as much power as possible from the people at large. Is not every Irishman, who, if he were English, would be a burgess, an injured man by being excluded in Ireland ? Is there not a plain and palpable injustice done to him, simply be cause he is an Irishman residing in Ireland, instead of being an Englishman residing in England ? Can any man, with all these facts before his eyes, have the pre sumption to allege that there is a real Union between the two countries? NINTHLY.—But perhaps the strongest proof that there is no real Union, remains behind. It is to be found in the success which Stanley's Bill obtained in the House of Commons. Stanley did not dare to bring in a Bill to limit the franchises of the Scottish people ; or to render their mode of registration more vexatious or expensive. He would have been shouted down in the House, had lie made such an attempt. Stanley did not presume to bring in a Bill to limit the franchises of the English people, or to render more vexatious or expensive their mode of registration. If he had, he would have been scouted im the House ; and probably rolled in the kennel out of the House. But Stanley did bring in a Bill to limit and restrict most stringently the elective franchises of the Irish people, and to increase enormously the vexation and expense of a mode of registration already very vexatious and very expensive. Recollect, I charge you, that the Irish franchises were already most unjustly limited and restricted ; but this was not enough ; there still remained in Ireland a sufficient number of voters to return to Parliament a majority of friends of civil and religious liberty. Stanley, accordingly, brought in his Bill to annihilate the popular power in Ireland, and to hand over the representation to the Irish aristocracy. And he was insolent enough to avow that such was his in tention and design. It was an insane avowal! But the insolence of his hatred of Ireland amounts to in sanity. Yes—upon this point of the paucity of our electors —a point upon which we ought to have commanded the sympathy and support of every friend to rational reform in Ireland—yes ; upon this point Stanley placed his foot, and declared that, of the little we had, the greater part should be taken away ; that our electoral poverty should be remedied by making it still poorer He was joined, of course, by all the Tories, who natu rally hated Ireland, which they had so much injured. He was joined by all the bigots, who piously detested the religion of the people of Ireland, which had in creased, in spite of all their efforts. He was joined by some Whigs, and by the Member for Halifax, Mr. Vs the son-in-law of Earl Grey ; and—oh ! ever lasting shame—by Lord Howick, the heir of Earl Grey ; and who, with his brother-in-law, actually decided the fate of the day ; and secured, by their votes, the further progress of the Bill ; upon an occasion when, had they voted with us, it would have been anni• hilated. We, the Irish Members, of course, opposed the Bill. We begged—we prayed—we argued —we remonstrated. It was all in vain!! We appealed to the Union ;we said we were not slaves, but citizens of the State. We demanded a participation in the franchises of that State, instead of a diminution of our own franchises. We were met with " beastly bellowings," and re peated hostile majorities. Finally, Lord Stanley placed his assault on our liber ties on this foundation ; that the Irish people were " villainous perjurers ;" and the majorities which, as he boasts, followed with unexampled perseverance and en thusiasm his black banner of destruction, re-echoed his cry of " villainous perjurers." Stanley and his gang did not deem it enough to rob the Irish people of their franchises, unless they also could infix upon them the description of '6 VILLAINOUS PERJURERS. " The religious, moral, brave, generous people of Ire land—" villainous perjurers!" I will buy me a starling who will cry incessantly to the people of Ireland, " VILLAINOUS PERJURERS. " You, Sir, may imagine that we ought to delight in a Union that produces such blessings ; that gives us a majority of " English gentlemen," forsooth! who sup port this insane iniustice—this maniac calumny Can I, after this, wonder, that you should express surprise that the Irish people are not enamoured of the Union? I must, however, conclude for the present. My pur pose is to justify the Repeaters. I have stated to you feebly, but, I trust distinctly, some of the grievances that convince me and the Irish people that the Union is unendurable. I will ask you to give me space for a second letter, into which I will endeavour to compress the rest of my justification. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL.

TfiE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26% 1840. THE EASTERN QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts.—The Turco-Egyptian qnestion is the all-absorbing ! subject ; and what England hopes to gain by interfering in quarrels between a selfish despot and an usurping ! swordsman, is the question now ? Shall we be told her object is to prevent the overthrow of the balance of i power in Europe ?—that bugbear of politicians to frighten women and children with, but too puerile for any to attempt its refutation, which, if it means any thing, means this, that we have arrived at the climax of perfection in external and internal policy ; and that human nature must progress no more, but endeavour to maintain the stand-still of her present perfection point, that the iron hand of despotism must force obe dience at the bayonet point, that monarchies and aristo cracies must for ever remain as they are, that commer cial enterprise must be checked when it seems likely so to raise a nation as to render it an object of jealousy to its neighbour states, that the natural rights of our fellows be swallowed up in the factitious arrangements of poli tical quacks, or self-aggravating knaves ; by the wor shippers of power or the mere tools of a tyrant's nod. And shall the people of England be duped by the balance of power in Europe, a phrase which means everything ; just nothing, or anything you please ? But let us suppose that the real object of Lord Palmerston has been to bar out Russia by placing an obstacle in her way, I would ask which is the most likely means to effect this end ; to oppose to the power of Russia a successful soldier and politic prince, one who has revived the drooping spirits, and raised the flagging hopes of the Musselmans, or an inexperienced youth surrounded by the creatures of power, and destined perhaps, ere long, to fall an easy victim to the intrigues of a Power of whose undermining spirit, and crafty arts of diplomacy, our Government has already had experience enough to warrant conclusions not the most flattering to us, nor the most favourable to them. But can our Govern ment, as the representatives of a professedly Christian nation—as the avowed abettors of advancement in civilization—of improvement in arts and sciences—of reform in Government, can they, I say, as such, justify their present measures in shutting out the light of knowledge from the benighted mind of the Mohammedan—in staying the march of intellect—in clogging the wheels of improvement—in paralyzing the efforts which genius has been making to shake off the fetters which have kept Turkey at a stand-still, while the rest of Europe has been progressing ? Egypt and Syria have been for centuries the theatres of misrule, the prey of rapacious Pachas, and the misgoverned provinces of weak, impolitic, or cruel Princes, from whose tribunal there was no appeal, whose word was law, and whose bow-string terror and death-dooming seal broke the spirit of the people, whom they deemed their slaves. True, the present Viceroy is not all we could desire, but is not very much supe rior to the rapacious governors appointed by an absolute despot to plunder not to rule—appointed, I say, by one who knows net the people's sufferings, or regards them still less—by one who, far from feeling a lively interest in the advancement of civilization and im provement, is politically interested to check that ad vance, as knowing that the progress of knowledge is the downfal of his power. Contrast with such a one its present Governor, with all his faults—behold him introducing civilization amongst the people, stability in the Government —encouraging learning, commerce, agriculture, and the arts—sending to Europe young men of promising talent to be educated in a knowledge of tho literature, government, and institutions of civilized nations. From such hopeful beginnings let the mind revert to that country, scarce known to other nations save by its misery and misrule under the Sultan's sway ; and, whilst the darkening clouds are now gathering around, to burst with fearful desolation on that unhappy land, should not English philanthropy rather spring forward to avert its doom than strangle the infant in the cradle to effect a dubious good ? Will my Lord Palmerston declare that God has so constituted the world that whole nations must suffer that England may rest secure ? But have the people of Egypt or Syria been asked their opinion on a question which involves the best interests of each nation, or the downfal of the same ? or will he tell us that the people must acquiesce in whatever Government he may please, and in viola tion of the first principles of justice and the laws of hu manity, to effect a doubtful good, if not a positive evil ? And shall the people of England submit to such a scheme ? and would they suffer another nation to act so towards them ? How stood the case with respect to William and Mary ? But what, in the name of Heaven, has Russia to do with maintaining the equi librium of European power ? Does not such a declara tion imply a mockery to our common sense ? A nation, whose restless ambition, overreaching policy, grasping efforts, embroiling schemes, and exorbitant power, have become almost naturally associated with the Russian name—must we not presume some scheme at bottom when Russia feigns to wish for the balance of power ? 4. Quicquid id est, time° Danaos et done ferentes." Is it not well known that her eye has for years been set on Constantinople? She has dismembered Poland— what treaties prevented this? She has rendered sub jects slaves ; power is her object, and, to effect that, she is prodigal of her gold. Her emissaries at Con stantinople are not idle ; and crafty emissaries they are. Is not the press of Prussia at this moment in her pay ? Prussia, where none dares speak save as the Govern ment may direct! But did not the present Ministry , assume the reins by a determination to observe a poli tical neutrality on foreign affairs? Have not foreign fields been already deluged with enough of British blood ? Has not sufficient treasure been expended in external war? Is the nation's debt yet too small, our country too little taxed, that we should plunge into a war, whose issue is uncertain as the forked lightning's course, to force a governor on countries whose wish was not consulted, and whose consent was never asked, to depose a sovereign whose policy has been suc cessful, and whose Government is producing good, in order to substitute the stupid or wicked ignorance which lies ever misruled, to stay the tide of civilization by destroying it in its source ? But that ! talk of the integrity of the Turkish empire with Moldavia and Wallachia, Algiers, the Pachalic of Acre, part of Syria, all Egypt and Greece staring us in the face'. Let Eng land and France remain united, and what combination need they fear? They are the guardians of Europe, the only nations that have any pretence to be free. During more than twenty years' union we have enjoyed a twenty years' peace, and shall we snap in sunder a union which has so teemed with good, to let Russia cover Constantinople with her troops ? God alone can tell what may be the issue in such a case! Let us rather maintain our union with France ; let us rather grant Mehemet Ali his last demand ; let us enter into treaty with the Sultan and with him ; let us make it the Vice roy's interest to maintain peace, to stand a barrier to Russia when supported by British money, British sailors and British faith. But let us never abet the religion of the false Prophet, which must crumble before science, civilization, the march of intellect and truth,---a reli gion whose source and whose nature is ignorance, which cramps the best feelings of our nature, which bluntens humanity, which supports a despot's rule, which infan tines the intellect and enslaves the spi-it of the man ; and for all this we are responsible, if we check the pro gress of civilization which is but just begun, by de stroying it in its patron, its first best friend. If in this letter I may have expressed thoughts which are acquiesced in by my fellow-men, let them remember that combination is power—that half the battle is to have begun—that no time is to be lost—that a public ex pression of their opinions should be sent forthwith to the Noble Lord, not indeed as menacing his Lordship, but calmly calling his attention to these points—the opinion of Englishmen, the voice of philanthropy, and the interest of England. Let them ask if the rest of the Cabinet think with the Noble Lord on the subject of this war. Let none either deny his Lordship the raced of honesty or ability, but state mildly what they think—that the interests of this nation may be maintained without the loss of English money or English blood, and without sacrificing principle at the shrine of expedience, or doubtful good with the certainty of checking the progress of civilisation but begun, whilst we at the same time vote 20,000,000/. to tyrants for liberating their slaves, and send an expedition up the Niger to force civilisation on one country, whilst we deny it to the next.

THE HISTORY OF FLIRT.—...It is not to he wondered at that the new novel under the above title has excited so much attention and curiosity, since it has the happy peculiarity of appealing with equal force to the two extremes of female society—namely, to the youthful belle who would fain be a proficient in any art whose aim and end is, that " one thing needful " of female aspiration, Matrimony ; and to the manoeuvring matron who would impress on her offspring the " great moral lesson " of con fining their flirtations to fitting times and seasons. Each of these parties will find ample food for study in these Confessions:of a Flirt ; while all the rest of the novel read ing world will be no less amused than edified by the many pictures varying alternately " from gay to grave, from live ly to severe," which these clever pages present. In short, we are quite disposed to agree with the Atheneum that " The History of a Flirt is among the best novels of its kind for many years given to the world by the English pre=s." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PATERS 61 , THIS DAY. (From the Morning Advertiser.) If it be considered of the slightest importance to pre serve the efficiency and honour of the British army, it is utterly impossible that the proceedings of the late court-martial at Brighton, and those previous and sub sequent thereto, can pass witho u t exc i t i ng t h e s t ronge st expression of a nation's censure. It is impossible for any mind susceptible of the its sentiment of honour able emotion, to suppress indignation against the gross and insulting tyranny to which those in whom high and noble principles of action should be especially exposed. How can men be encouraged xpected have to guard been first condition of their profession is the sacrifice e theirrecently country's homier when the of their own ? The treatment lately received by the officers of the 11th Hussars is as in jurious to the service as any proceedings which have ever disgraced our military annals. Before proceeding with our commentary we refer to the admonition given to the officers of this regiment by Adjutant-General Sir John Macdonald on the part of Lord Hill. He told them that it was pesfectlyuselessfor any of them to snake any further complaints against the Earl of Car digan,fir that Lord Hill had determined to listen to no thing which had heretofore occurred—that on this point Lord Hill was peremptory : but that any complaint y any future conduct of the Lieutenant-Colonel of the re giment should be promptly inquired into and redressed." This is the culminating point to which the authorities of the Horse Guards have carried their insulting and in jurious oppression. Lord Hill, first, on the representa tion of Earl Cardigan, reprimanded Capt. J. W. Rey nolds without giving that gentleman any opportunity of explanation, and denied him a Court-martial when con fined contrary to the express provision of the articles o 1 war. Next a Court-martial is held on Capt. It. A. Rey. nolds, for seeking direct redress for an insult which, from the experience of his namesake's case, lie must have felt to have no chance of reparation from those to whom is confided the administration of military affairs. If an officer who was publicly reprimanded, and de prived of his liberty contrary to military regulations, by the tyranny of his Lieutenant-Colonel, was refused inquiry, what hope could a brother officer entertain of a similar act of justice, whose complaint was confined to an insulting expression rumoured to have been ut tered by his commanding officer in a drawing-room ? In despair of redress from the authorities, who might, indeed, have excused themselves on the grounds that the case came not legitimately under their considera tion, Captain R. A. Reynolds sought personal satis faction, for which he was arraigned before a Court martial, denied the opportunity of adducing evidence of the provocation to which he had been exposed, and then was cashiered with ignominy—an ignominy, how ever, which recoils upon the authors of its infliction. Lest the iniquity of these proceedings might not be complete, Lord Hill sow announces, in the face of the world, that it is perfectly useless for any officer to make any complaint against Earl Cardigan, for his Lordship is determined to listen to nothing which had heretofore occurred. Is such an infamous denial of justice as this to be tolerated ? Were not the fact authentic, we should believe the report to be exaggerated. We could not believe that soy man so high in authority as Lord Hill would have the hardihood to make public avowal of such a despotic and gross disregard of the dictates of truth and justice as is promulgated in this admoni tion. There are some acts so flagrant as in their very commission to hear the pledge of their punishment, and of this class are those upon which we are now commenting. To suffer them to pass with impunity would be to participate in their infamy. The subject must be brought before the House of Commons, and as Lord Hill cannot expect before that assembly the sanction of any Ministry having the least regard to character or decency, the sooner his Lordship resigns his command, the better for himself and the Govern ment. After refusing, as quoted above, all reparation for the past, the Adjutant-General proceeded to point out to the officers, in the language of our report, " the impossibility of any regiment, if called into active ser vice, efficiently performing its duty unless there sub sisted a cordial feeling and good understanding between the Lieutenant-Colonel and his officers ; and he hoped most sincerely to see a perfectly friendly feeling re established, and unanimity again prevail throughout the corps." Does Lord Hill believe the officers of the 11 th Hussars to be men of human feelings and emotions, and suppose that they will entertain a cordial and good understanding with the party who has so shamefully insulted them ? The supposition is an aggravation of the outrage. To preserve a good and cordial feeling, Lord Hill should first do justice ; and in refusing to do justice, he becomes him self the instigator of insubordination. Lord Hill has made himself a party to Lord Cardigan's misdeeds, and both have shown themselves utterly unworthy to be left any longer in possession of the command they have so scandalously abused. They cannot even avail them selves of the plea urged tAgainst the dismissal of Captain Reynolds, that by the Articles of War an officer can not be dismissed, unless for infamous or scandalous con duct. If the refusal of inquiry to one officer wantonly reprimanded and confined, and the dismissal of another without being allowed to show the provocation under which he committed the offence charged against him, and then a peremptoty denial of all inquiry as to the past, be not infamous and scandalous, we should be glad to hear from Lord Hill and Earl Cardigan the meaning they attach to these terms. (From the Morning Post.) Every honest politician in Europe must, we think, rejoice that M. 'Fillers has ceased to be the principal Minister of the King of the French. In political affairs M. Thiers is a combination of the desperate ad venturer and the mean shuffler. There is nothing in his character which tiny friend of virtue and good order can place dependence upon. Louis Philippe may, perhaps, run a good deal of risk in finally breaking with him ; but anything were better than submission from from such a King to such a Minister. So far as the published records of events enable us to judge, the con duct of the King of the French in the late trying times has been admirable. He has avoided any precipitate step which would have thrown him unprepared into col lision with the excited nation. He knew the thing he had to angle with in NI. Thiers, and he let him run out the line as long as no actual mischief was irretrievably committed. He has gained time for the reasonable ness of Europe to express itself respecting the war de lirium of France. At last when it came to the point that he should either suffer the Minister to be his mas ter, or get rid of him, he has nat shrunk from the latter decision. It was the only one worthy of the King. 'We are no admirers of the whole career of Louis Phi lippe. We dare say he is not himself. This, however, we take to be incontestable, that he is, as a political guide and manager of the French nation, by far the ablest man in France. That such a man as he should allow NI. Thiers to be master over him, and to force bins into what he thought wrong, in order that M. Thiers' blundering management of foreign affairs might be supported, were a monstrous thing. The deliberate judgment of France cannot but pronounce that it would be so. But a crisis of great difficulty may arise. The war party will be furious. M. Thiers will be vindictive. We trust that good sense, justice, and firmness may triumph over both. If the friends of order and settled government—if the true friends of France. who have seats in the Chamber of Deputies, will but imitate the firmness of the King—all may be well. They arc not required to forget the glory of France, but they are required to distinguish between true and false glory. They are not required to be re gardless of the popular sentiment, but they are required to guard against its extravagant excesses. They are not required to declare for peace at any price, but they are required to declare against war without a reasonable cause. It they have the firmness to determine on doing what is reasonable and prudent, and nothing else, the forc e of reason and prudence throughout the world will carry them out of the crisis triumphantly. If they yield but for a moment to mere intimidation and clamour, contrary to their own and the world's conviction of what is just, prudent, and reasonable, they are lost. They will be for a little time slaves, and then victims. If they would be safe they must be calm and courageous. They must be ready to submit to anything rather than to an agreement in what they believe to be bad policy for France and for the interests of justice and good order all over the world. We look upon it as it fortunate event that Marshal Soult has taken upon him the chief place in the Administration. It will also be very fortunate should it prove that M. Guizot is not unwilling t o un d ertake the a d m inistration of foreign affairs. E urope has great con fidence in the energy d watchfulness of the first — qu alities very necessary for th e i n t erna l government of F ran ce at this moment. Europe h as no less confidence i n the honesty, intelli gence, and moderation of the other —qualities which will go far to reconcile any differences between France and Foreign Powers which at present exist.

I he resignation of the Thiers Ministry, under the circumstances which have led to if, is an ap peal to the nation on the policy of the late Cabinet touching the Eastern question.

In case of the triumphs of the war party in France there would still, perhaps, be a possibility of peace being preserved by the British Government and its northern allies abandoning their eastern crusade, and allowing the Porte and Mehemet Ali to settle their differences without the interrneddling; of foreigners in the affairs of the Ottoman empire. But in that event France would have obtained a triumph most humiliating to the pride, and most mortifying to the ambition of the eastern crusaders. Leaving the French people to deal with their own Government as they think fit, it is our duty not to allow the people of Eng land to forget the origin of the present alarming state of things. Clearing away from the question all the mystifying verbiage of dull and voluminous diplomacy, and extricating facts from the elaborate jargon of pro tocoling polemics, we arrive at the plain unvarnished, but most lamentable truth, that the peace of Europe is placed in jeopardy by the ambitious internzeddling of Ibreign nations in the domestic disputes of the Turkish empire. Tnat is the simple fact, which the English peo ple should not lose sight of ; and they ought to couple with that fact, the recollection of the policy of non-in tervcraion proclaimed by the Whigs before they came into office, and violated by them ever since. (From the Morning Chronicle.) His Excellency M. Guizot, having received des patches calling him immediately to Paris, set out from London on Saturday evening. Previous to the depar ture of the Ambassador, Baron de Bourqueney was ac credited as Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the French at this Court. We cannot allow M. Guizot to take his departure from among us without expressing in what high regard he was held by all classes of Englishmen. As a man of business, it was impossible to be more attentive, more frank and straight forward, and he was the delight of every eircla in which he moved. Whatever was the topic, M. Guizot was always ready to bear his part in the conversation, and there were few subjects on which he could not throw light, and to which he could not communicate an interest, from the force and felicity of his language. With all this, he was simple and unassuming in his man ners, and in everything h e sa id th ere was a tone o f great sincerity. M. Guizot never appeared to strain after smart sayings, never sought to dazzle his audience by brilliant remarks, but the absence of effort made his conversation only more engaging, and he was often eloquent, and always impressive. He spoke English with much fluency, though with a foreign accent, and often stumbled on happy combi nations of words, which would not occur to a native, but which gave additional pleasure from their novelty. With all these engaging qualities, it was impossible to know M. Guizot without feeling the most thorough confidence in his honour, and being struck with the purity of his principles. It would be uncandid in us to refuse this tribute to M. Guizot, because in the questions which now divide the two countries he did not share our opinions. His attachment to his own country could hardly fail to bias his judgment ; but though no man could devote himself with more anxiety to what he deemed the interests of France, his mode of advocating them was peculiarly unobjectionable. His conduct in his diplomatic capacity was, as in every hing else, manly and straightforward. CORONER'S INQUEST. SUICIDE OF A COUNTY MAGISTRATE.—On Satur day afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, deputy coroner for Westminster, and a highly respect able jury, at No. 15, Stratton -street, Piccadilly, on the body of Mr. Henry Rowles, a gentleman of independent property, who destroyed himself under the following circumstances on Friday evening : Edward Easton, footman to the deceased, said, that on Friday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, he was in the servants' hall, and heard the report of a gun ; and on going up into the apartment usually occupied by the deceased, he found him absent. He then called to the housemaid, who came and assisted in searching for him. He then proceeded to the deceased's dress ing -room, and found the door shut ; the room was dark. Mr. Blackall and Mr. Henry Holland' were then called in. There was a strong smell of powder in the room. The last time he saw the deceased alive was about half past six, when he had dinner. He (witness) did not proceed farther than the dressing-room. The deceased was at home all day, and had only arrived from Maiden head on Wednesday. Mr. Henry Holland deposed that he accompanied Mr. Blackall, at whose house he was on a visit, on Friday evening, to the deceased's, in consequence of the information brought by the housemaid of the de ceased. Having searched several rooms, and called loudly for the decased by name, they went to the water closet, when, on opening the door, they were horror struck at finding the deceased on the seat in a reclining position, quite dead, his head being literally shattered to atoms. In the deceased's left hand was grasped a double-barrelled gun, the muzzle pointed upwards. On the ground was a boot-hook, with which it was sup posed deceased had discharged both barrels. Over de ceased's head, on a shelf, was a wax taper still burning. Elizabeth Stoddart, the housemaid, confirmed the testimony of the first witness as to hearing the report of the gun. Deceased had desired her not to let him be disturbed, as he was very busy, and had a deal of writ ing to do. Mr. Frederick Blackall deposed that he was son-in law of the deceased, and resided in Charles -street, Gros venor-square. On Wednesday last he was in the com pany of the deceased for some time, during which de ceased appeared very dejected, and, on being asked if he were unwell, said he was very well in body, but was not able to exert himself in business as he formerly used. Witness tried to cheer him up, and left deceased with his son. On Friday afternoon, about five o'clock, be called at deceased's residence, but was told by the foot boy, Easton, that his master was not at home, on which witness went home and dined with Mr. Holland ; and at half-past seven, on being fetched by the housemaid, he found the deceased as described. Mr. Launcelot Holland, of Beckenham, Kent, de posed that be had been intimately acquainted with the deceased. On the 9th inst. deceased came to witness's house in a post-chaise in a very disturbed state of mind, and for some time was unable to speak ; but at last deceased said he had met with a great misfortune, and, on being pressed as to what it was, he said he had not slept for several weeks, and his health had also failed him; in addition to which both his public and private business troubled him, particularly the city por tion. Witness recommended him not to trouble him self about those matters, and deceased, after staying a short time, returned home. A few days afterwards he received a note from Mrs. Bowles, requesting, in a most urgent manner, that witness would come to Stratton street, as the deceased was in a very low state, and she did not know what to do with him. Witness accord ingly went, and deceased on seeing him became more calm. Deceased was (33 years of age, and in early life had been a very active man, and his inability to main tain his usual activity now appeared to have depressed his spirAs. By the Jury—Deceased was a Director of the Rhymny Ironworks in South Wales, and also of St. Katherine's Dock Co:npany, besides being Chairman of the Globe Fire Insurance Company, the duties of which occupied a great portion of his attention. It further transpired that the deceased gentleman, while carrying on an extensive business as a builder. had erected the Drury-lane Theatre now standing, and several other metropolitan public edifices. The jury declared themselves satisfied with the evi dence that had been brought before them, and, after a short consultation, returned a verdict ot—Temporary Insanity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THE PICCADILLY SALOON.—Henry A. Beale was summoned by the police, before Mr. LONG, on the ground that he, being the keeper of the Saloon, No. 22.2, Piccadilly, where refreshments and provisions are sold and consumed, did, on the 18th October last, know ingly permit prostitutes to meet and remain there. Mr. Wont ner attended for the defence, and by way of excuse for the non-attendance of the alleged defendant, stated that he was then lying ill in bed. Inspector Baker stated that he went to the Saloon on Sunday morning between twelve and one o'clock on the 18th October, and, on gaining admission, saw about thirty persons, male and female, assembled. About eigh teen were women, and of that number he knew at least half-a-dozen were prostitutes. Police-sergeant Upall confirmed the Inspector's statement. After further evidence was heard— Mr. LONG was of opinion that the evidence was to a certain extent defective ; and though he was of opinion that the safest course in the present instance was to dis miss the summons, yet if another case came before him with more complete evidence, he should certainly come to a different decision. The summons was then dismissed. QUEEN- SQUARE ROBBERY OF CAPT. HARYEYTUCKETT.—JohiI Noland, a young man about two-and -twenty years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a very superb snuff-box, value 201., from the person of Captain Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett, the officer who was wounded by the Earl of Cardigan, in the late duel at Wimbledon. Captain Tuckett. who appeared quite convalescent, stated that he was walking, about one o'clock that day, with a friend, through Cockspur-street, and had arrived at the corner of Spring Gardens, when on a sudden he was touched by some person, who said, " He has robbed you," and pointed to the prisoner, who was running down Spring Gardens. He immediately felt his coat pocket, and having ascertained that his gold snuff-box was gone, he went' in pursuit of the prisoner. As the latter ran towards the opening of Spring Gardens, at Charing Cross, the Captain saw him attempt to fling the snuff-box down an area, but failing . to get rid o f i t , as it st ruc k aga i nst th e ra ilings, and fell upon the pave ment, be picked it up, and darted across the road, at Charing Cross. The Captain followed, and succeeded in coming up to the prisoner in a blind passage, and then observed, " It will be useless for you to deny that you have got my box, as I saw you drop and pick it up." Prisoner admitted the fact, ar,d hoped the gentleman would forgive him, and he would return the property. He then gave the Captain the box back. The prisoner, who declined saying anything in de fence, was then fully committed for tr;al. The value of the box was ascertained to be 201. ; and on the Captain undertaking to produce it on the trial, he was allowed to take it away with him. HATTON-GARDEN. A well-dressed man, named Cooper, was charged with having committed an assault on John Donahue, aged sixteen, whose lite, in consequence, is dispaired of. The father of the lad stated that on Friday evening, while his son and several others were playing in the Colonade, Brunswick-square, the prisoner rushed upon his unfortunate child, and, after dashing his head many times on the flags, he attempted to throw him over seine railings into an area several feet deep. Witness rescued his son, but he was sadly afraid he was not in time to save his life ; the surgeon's account of him to his parents being of the most heart-rending description. Mr. HENRY—Where is your son injured? Wit ness (dreadfully agitated)—His head is fractured— (placing his hand on his forehead) —this part to his crown is all smashed in. _ _ A policeman of the E Division here produced the certificate of a medical man, describing the complainant to be in the most imminent danger. Mr. HENRY addressed the prisoner in a very feeling manner, telling him the awful situation in which he stood, and cautioning him as to the statement he might make in his defence, as probably it would be used against him. Prisoner—l don't wish to conceal anything. I own I caused this injury, and I deeply regret it. The cir cumstances in extenuation are, however, I submit very strong. Between seven and eight o'clock on Friday night I was in bed at home, when I was awoke by the screaming of my wife, and on getting out of bed I found she was in the street. Thither I hastened and found that she was being attacked by the com plainant, who was applying to her epithets of the vilest description. I naturally interfered, and the com plainant thee came sparring up to me, and having struck me, I struggled with him, and we fell together, his head striking the curb, and occasioning the dreadful injury already described Mr. HENRY—What are you ? Complainant—l am a watchman in the bank of Messrs. Prescott and Grote, which acconnts for my being in bed so early in the evening. Mr. lIENav—I must remand you until the death or recovery of the complainant ; but I sincerely hope that tne injury will take a favourable turn. If you can pro cure good bail I shall have no objection to accept it for your appearance on a future day. The prisoner was c3mmitted for want of bail. LAMBETH-STREET On Saturday Mr.Parlour, the landlord of the Alfred's 11ead, public-house, in Alfred -street, Stepney, appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton, to answer to an in formation laid against him by the police, for the alleged offence of having his house open after the hour of twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 10th inst., and also with having drunkenly and disorderly persons in his house. Mr. Duncombe appeared as solicitor for the de fendant. Police-constable Thomas Watkins, K 310, on being sworn, stated that about half-past twelve o clock on the night mentioned in the information, he was on duty near the house of the defendant, and saw seven men, all of whom were drunk, come out of it, and almost immedi ately commenced to quarrel in the street. He (wit ness) went up to them, and requested them to disperse, but they refused, and two of thorn, who were ovzch more intoxicated than the rest, and whom he recog nised to be most dangerous characters, made use of iolent threats towards him, and he was actually afraid to meddle with them until his brother con stable came up, and with his assistance, he suc ceeded in dispersing them, The defendant stood at his door, from the time the men came out until they were dispersed, which occupied at least a quarter of an hour, and af.er that time he (witness) distinctly saw him serve two persons, one a female, with a pint of beer, at a quarter of an hour, or twenty minutes, to one o'clock. The witness was cross-examined at some length by Duncombe. He said he judged of the time by seeing the clock of the defendant, and would swear that t was twenty minutes past twelve when the parties came out of the house. He denied that the quarrel, of which he spoke, took place on account of he himself snatching a pipe from the mouth of one of the violent characters he had represented, and smoking it himself. He swore that, at the time his brother officer come up, the defendant's door was open, and the defendant him self standing at it, and his brother offie-zr must have seen him. ..... Police-constable Thomas Burns, K 255, was next called, and said that, on the night in question, about half-past twelve, or a little after, he was attracted to Alfred-street, by hearing a quarrelling on the beat of the last witness, and on going there he saw about twelve men, one of whom was drunk, and the others appeared to have been drinking. The officer Watkins was endeavouring to get them away, and with his assistance succeeded in doing so. In his cross•examination this witness swore positively that the defendant's door was closed when he first came up, that he did not see the defendant at all, and he did not see him serve any one. Mr. Duncombe contended at some length that publi cans were not bound to close their houses at twelve o'clock—that there was nothing in the Police Act to compel them, the words ,in the clause being, that they were not to open their houses before one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday. Mr. NORTON read the opiaion of the Law Officers of the Crown to the contrary, and which stated that publi cans were liable to penalties for keeping their houses open after twelve on Saturday night, an.l said that this was also his (Mr. Norton's) interpretation of the Act. Mr. Duncombe replied that he had obtained the opi nion of Counsel on the point, which was diametrically opposite to that of the Law Officers of the Crown, and it was the intention of the Licensed Victuallers' Protec tion Society, of which he was the solicitor, to try the question. Mr. NORTON observed this point was one of consider able importance to publicans, and one on which they should obtain the best opinion. Five respectable witnesses were called for the de fence, who completely negatived the statement of the police. They stated that the defendant's house was completely clear of customers at five minutes past 12 o'clock on the night in question, and that after that time not a single drop of spirits or beer was served to any person. Mr. NORTON thought that the officer Watkins made a great mistake as to the time, and some of the circum stances described by him, and dismissed the complaint. UNION-HALL. John Yates, clerk to Messrs. Maltby and Otter, the solicitors, of Old Broad -street, was charged with stealing 2001., the property of his employers. Mr. Otter stated that the prisoner had been a clerk in the employ of him and his partner, and that on Satur day, the 17th instant, he was sent to get a cheque of 2001. cashed at the banking-house of Bosanquet and Co., Lombard-street. The prisoner was desired to re turn immediately, but he absconded with the money and had not been heard of until the preceding night, when he was taken into custody at the terminus of the South western Railway. A:reward of 201., had been offered for the apprehension of the prisoner. The cashier at Bosanquet's attended, anal stated that he paid over the amount of the 200/ cheque in gold to the prisoner, who, accounting for his wish to have the amount in cash instead of notes, said that he was di rected by his employers to pay some small accounts be fore he returned to Broad-street. John Stowell stated that h. was a constable, and that on the preceding night the prisoner was given into custody in the waiting-room of the Southampton Rail way at wine Elms by one of the guards of the train wh►ch had just arrived. On examin►ng the prisoner's pockets, a bag containing 100 sovereigns was found, to gether w►th a brace of loaded pistols, and he had a new gold watch in his waistcoat pocket. When informed that the charge against him was that of robbing his em ployers he made no reply, but wanted the pistols to be returned to him, as they had nothing to do with the charge. The prisoner, who is quite a young man, was fashion ably attired, and he appeared to have been recently en gaged in an affray, for one of his eyes was blackened, and his face scratched. Since he obtained the cash for the cheque he has been at Southampton and the Isle of Wight, and had come up to town again after having ex pended 100/. of the plunder, with a view, it is sus pected, of procuring a passage to America. In answer to the charge he said that he should reserve his defence until his trial, and he was then committed. THAMES POLICE. A FEMALE SMUGGLER.—A fashionable modiste, named M urden, residing at the West.end, was charged, under an information laid by the Commissioners ot Cus toms, with smuggling sundry foreign articles—to wit, 28 cards of silk lace, containing 739 yards, four cards of thread lace, I 1 collars, 813 yards of black silk lace, seven peletines, four pair of cuffs, three ladies' bustles, a scarf, and a gallon of brandy, by which she had in curred a penalty of 2581. 25., the treble value of the goods. The defendant is a petite young lady, with a sim pering air, and was very fashio iably attired. She pleaded guilty, but the Magistrate determined on hoar inc the evidence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was seen leaving a foreign steamer off the Tower by Joshua Judge, a Th arne s.r.poliee inspector, who, as she v,;, 3 , landing at irongate-stairs, asked her if she had any thing about her subject to duty. The lady tjeefared an her " honour' she had not, but Judge was not satisfied with her assertion, and observed that she looked very EVENING EDITION'. bulky. The lady declared that she was in that state which ladies wish to be who love their lords. Ju d g e said he did not believe that to be the case, and she must submit to a search. She then took from her pockets two bladders, each con taining half a gallon of brands', and declared that that was all sh> had. Judge then delivered her over to a female searcher, who reduced the modiste' to her fair proportions, and took from her duce bus tles ' leaving one upon her, and the other articles named the information which were secreted about various parts of her person. The MAGISTRATE—DA the defendant nPPer very bulky when you stopped her ? Judge—Yes, very, and the articles were so placed abo ut the lady to to give her the appearance of being pregnant. Mr. Morgan, receiver in the Queen's warehouse: produced the smuggled goods, and created m uch lauo' ter by holding up those nondescript appendage' t ° a lady's toilette—the hustles. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said she re ,: gretted much the delicate situation in wh ich she s too o and the trouble she had given to her Majesty's revelet officers ; the whole of the affair arose f rom a slig, I mistake, the fact was, she bad forgotten to Pal l"e duty. MAGISTRATE—So it appears ; that is the very offe nce with which ou stand chd? Dofendant y —l hope, Sir, arge you will be lenient to A n unfortunate artiste des modes. MAGism.sTE—Has this artiste des moles boo c°ll' victed before ? The officers answered in the negative. be i h The MAGISTRATE said, in consideration of this the defendant's first offence, he would reduce _toe penalty to 621. 125., being one-fourth of the tre value and the costs, which was inimedia:,ely paid. il SPORTING INTELLIGENCB.
