The questions that press upon us are, to what i s it that our misery is to be ascribed, and what are the means of its alleviation ? To answer these questions honestly, we must be careful to distinguish between a remote and im mediate cause ; and looking at our condition fairly, and in a candid spirit, we are forced to avow that our present degradation is in so great an extent attributable to our selves, that any other causes that may have occurred sink into utter insignificance. It is to the indolence, improvi dence, and ignorance, which has uniformly pervaded, at least, three provinces of Ireland, that we must unhesita tingly ascribe our present degraded condition. To what this indolence, improvidence, and ignorance era to be as cribed is, as we have said, a distinct consideration ; but it is its existence that has degraded us. We admit that the landlords of Ireland have, of late years, become, in a great measure, alive to the responsibilities which the pos session of property entails, and to the necessity for ex ercising an active and vigilant control over its manage ment. The improvement in the upper classes is yet very imperfectly developed, and is of very recent date. It is thwarted and impeded, notwithstanding the best inten tions on the part of very many of the present race of landlords, by the circumstances in which they find them selves placed, involved as they are, and rendered utterly powerless by a load of incumbrances created by their pre decessors, who have, indeed, a heavy account to answer for, for the grievous perversion and abandonment of the trusts that were confided to them. A still more respon sible, because with the Irish peasantry a more influential body, the Roman Catholic priesthood ate still more hea vily accountable for the condition of the country. The faults of the landlords were chiefly those of neglect—those of the Roman Catholic priesthood are crimes of the m os t deliberate commission. They have in every way per verted and desecrated the duties of their sacred calling. Ir.structors of their sacred flocks, they have studiously kept them in ignorance; ministers of the gospel, they have sown rancour, hatred, and malevolence, against their Protestant rulers and fellow-subjects, as widely as they could disseminate it. There are, and always have been, some few bright and holy exceptions—exceptions the brighter and the nobler, because that, acting from a sense of right, they have placed themselves in opposition and hostility to the opinions and practices of their fellows, the surest test of a brave and good man; but the great bulk of the Roman Catholic priesthood have ever been ready to head an insurrection in the field, or to stimulate to outrage even from the altar. And up to this very hour how few of them are to be found in the disturbed districts of Ireland, who avail themselves of the unquestionable control which they possess over their people, to suppress those cold-blooded and revolting enormities, which have brought such infamy upon the land. Could these con tinue, if universally opposed by - the priesthood ? "My unaltered opinion," said that unflinching statesman, Lord Clare, some fifty years ago, " is, that so long as human nature and the Popish religion continue to be what I know they are, a conscientious Popish ecclesiastic never will become a well-attached subject to a Protestant state, and that the Popish clergy Must always have a command ing influence on every member of that communion." Intelligence and independence will abate or destroy this influence; but so long as ignorance and poverty abound, this influence will prevail, and the continued turbulence and discontent of Ireland will confirm the justice of Lord Clare's prediction.

TILE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. that they can fulfil the duties of good landlords; with a nominal rental of some thousands a-year, and not as many hundreds to spend, it is in vain that they struggle to sup port the station which their estate, if unencumbered, would enable them to uphold. The effort is as injurious to themselves as to the country ; they are perpetually in volved in debt and legal difficulties, while their exigencies oblige them to accept the highest rent they can get offered for their lands, without any selection as to the character of their tenantry, or any ability to assist them. They are absolutely unable to erect upon their farms the dwelling houses and offices, fences, &c., which should always be constructed by the landlord, as is universally done in Eng land and Scotland, in order that the capital of the tenant may be applied undiminished to the land ; and they are unable, from want of capital themselves, to advance one jot the agriculture of their estates, either by example or instruction, by practical farming, by schools, or any other means: Very many of our gentry would gladly divest themselves of the endless litigation and embarrassments which the cloud of charges upon their estates, mortgages, judgments, annuities, jointures, imposes on them—the very law costs connected with these charges, together with the costs of enforcing the rents of a large rack-rented pro perty, to meet these various and overwhelming demands, wholly at sorbs the wretched remnant of their estate which is left to them—but it is impossible to bring such an estate as this to a sale by any process now available—a bill in Chancery must be filed, all these eneumbrancers must be made parties to the suit—they are scattered over various quarters of the world, yet they must be served with notice of the proceedings—they die in the progress of the suit, and bills of reviver must be filed to bring their represen tatives before the court. Any one at all familiar with legal proceedings in this country knows well that there are many causes which have been given up by successive solicitors in despair, from the perfect impossibility of get ting a perfect suit ; and in many other cases the suit has continued in existence for upwards of half a century. SUGGESTED REMEDIES FOR EVILS IN IRELAND. Emigration is a subject that naturally suggests itself in the consideration of remedial measures for Ireland. It is a favourite subject with many writers. It has long been the custom to say, that the country is over-populated, and, beyond all doubt, it is so, with reference to the pre sent actual produce of the soil ; but that it is over-popu lated, with reference to its capacity of production, we altogether dispute. The produce of the soil is not one third what it might be, if the ordinary systems of hus bandry, which are familiar, and practised in England and Scotland, were introduced among us. In the ten years preceding the census of 1841, the average annual emigra tion from Ireland was 40,000. Was this a benefit to the country ?—what did we gain by it ? The pressure on the resources of the country was not diminished by one hundred-and-sixtieth part; the effect on the competition of the labour-market was wholly inappreciable ; and for this inconsiderable advantage we lost very many of the best of our population, men of industry and enterprise, and possessed of some little capital. There is a descrip tion of local emigration which every one must advocate— one in which all the expense and difficulties of transit, and all the other disadvantages of colonial emigration, are ob viated—we speak of an emigration to the now waste, but easily reclaimable, lands of our own country. It would be impossible to over-estimate the benefit of a well-de vised and comprehensive measure for reclaiming the waste lands of Ireland. Such a measure was recommended by the Poor :Enquiry Commission of 1836 ; it was urged again by Lord Devon's Commission, but has never yet been adopted. The men who have arrogated to themselves the title, and who have put in their pockets the acknowledg ment of Irish patriots, have never been found to urge for ward a single measure that could really be of the slightest substantial service to the country. It is impossible to deny that if one-tenth part of the exertions which were exhibited by the late Mr. O'Connell, for the last twenty years of his life, in agitating for the repeal of the Union— an agitation which has left us nothing but increased poverty, heart-burnings, and discontent—had been applied to forcing on a measure for the reclamation of our waste lands, that one million of happy, comfortable, and con tented people, who would be settled on them, would now bless his memory, and upwards of three millions and a half of fertile and luxuriant acres would perpetuate his fame. But Mr. O'Connell's own property at Derrynane beg, the condition of which was revealed to us by Mr. Foster, the Times Commissioner, states how possible it is for the most turbulent vapourers on the wrongs of Ire land, and the most truculent denouncers of the govern ment of the country, to be themselves entirely indifferent to the realand substantial interests of its people, if, indeed, we require any evidence on this subject—if we would not be justifiable in inferring it from the very nature of the selfish agitation with which Ireland for the last twenty years has been distracted. The compilers of the digest of the Devon Commission tell us that, by reclaiming the waste lands of Ireland, " nearly 200,000 families, com prising 1,000,000 of souls, might be permanently and happily provided for, upon lots of eight acres of good, and twelve of inferior land • by this 500,000 labourers will be abstracted from the labour-market, and this, not only without loss, but with very great gain, raising the pro duce of the 3,755,000 acres of waste land, now not averag ing four pounds per acre, to a value of at least six pounds per acre, that is, a new produce of, at least, twenty-two million pounds. REMEDIAL SUGGESTION FOR IRELAND. But the measure which, in our judgment, is of all othel.s required for the relief of Ireland, is a measure for EFFECT ING THE SALE OF INCUMDEItED ESTATES. There is a bill now before Parliament, which is, to some degree, con nected with this subject. It originated last year in the House of Lords, and is now once more before the Cow_ mons. . . This bill as it originated in the Lords (what alterations it may receive in the Commons we know not), is calcu lated to be of great service; it, however, falls far short of what is required. The great object to be attained, us we have more than once intimated in this article, is that the proprietors of the soil shall have the full and entire exer cise of every legal right of ownership ; that they shall be, in the fullest sense of the word, independent; that they shall not continue, as they now are, mere nominal posses sors of large estates, without interest in them, or control over them ; that the improvement of the land shall not be impeded ; that the advancement of the tenantry shall no longer be retarded, by the condition of the owners of the soil. The greater number of the landed gentry of Ireland are now so heavily encumbered, that it is quite impossible FAULTY CONDUCT OF ENGLAND TO IRELAND: From the reign of James the First to the Revolution, the hostile spirit of the Roman Catholic faith never ceased to manifest itselt. In the massacre of the Protestants in 1631, in the wars with Cromwell, in the troublous period of the second Charles, and in the wars of James, the Roman Catholics but asserted their unquenchable hostility to the British connexion, and to the English Protestant settlers in this country. The iron energy of Cromwell crushed and for ever annihilated the power of the old Irish chief tains; but the envenomed spirit of religious rancour was too subtle an antagonist even for his master-spirit to grap ple with. Ireland was thus everlastingly in revolt; there was but one effectual means by which this could have been prevented—namely, by sedulously spreading the doctrines of the Reformation, and thus identifying the sentiments of the two countries. This duty England most shamefully neglected. Spencer tells us that the Roman Catholic priests spared not to travel from Spain and Rome to Ireland, where they knew peril of death awaited them, and no reward was to be had only to draw the people to the Church of Rome; but that our idle ministers would, neither for the love of God, nor zeal for religion, nor for all they could do by winning souls to Christ, be drawn forth from their warm nests. So utterly worth), ss was the ministration of the Established Church, that very many of the settlers who came over with Crom well and with William, lapsed by degrees into the Roman Catholic faith, and amalgamating with the ancient Irish and original English settlers, added their numbers to the array of the• numerous enemies of England. The north escaped this evil by deriving its clergy chiefly from the active and intelligent people of Scotland. But when we recollect the number of Protestants who came over with Cromwell and with William, and in the inter mediate period, and who settled on the lands which were then confiscated and appropriated to their use, and com pare them with the comparative numbers of Protestant and Roman Catholic as they now exist in three provinces of Ireland. it is plain to demonstration, even if we were without the aid of express authority on the subject, that a large proportion of the new Protestant settlers must have joined the Church of Rome; indeed we could point to districts in Ireland where the same names, and obviously the same families, are to be found, those of them in the plains adhering to the Reformed faith, and those in the adjacent mountain districts, which the zeal of the clergy of the Established Church, at that day, was unequal to penetrate, professing the doctrines of the Church of Rome. THE IRISH REBELS.—The London Times has lately spoken of the proceedings of the repeal leaders as if they were of rather a formidable nature, but yesterday our contemporary spoke of them in the following altered tone O'Brien has not a chance. Would that our words could reach him, and would that he could listen to them ! Let him giye himself up at once, and compro mise for lodgings and light work at Bermuda. As for the other rebel chiefs, Doheny, it is said, follows the fortunes of O'Brien, and by his want of respectability contributes to the premature decay of the royal cause. No one appears to know where Meagher is flourishing his sword, but if he is fighting anything, it must be the air. Dillon is equally inconspicuous. Lolor, the hero of Holycross, has been arrested. O'Reilly has surrendered. The rest are all hiding. Little will be heard of them for some time, except in the Hue and Cry." ARRESTS FOR SEDITION AND TREASON AT BELFAST. —To-day, at the police-court in this town, says the Ban ner of Ulster, in a bulletin published on Saturday, P. Kane, a compositor in the Northern Whig office, was brought up, charged with firing pistols on Friday night last, in Smithfield, to the terror and alarm of her majesty's subjects in 'that neig hbourhocd. He was arrested by Constable Slane. who, after having taken him to the police-office, searched him and discovered upon his per son two pistols and a ticket of membership of the John Mitchel Club at B elfast. The magistrates, after confer ring together for a length of time, stated that they would suspend judgment until Tuesday. Application for bail was applied for, and granted ; the bench, however, refused to let him out on his own recognisance ; he was required to find bail, himself in £lOO and two sureties in £5O each. William Downing, a respectable tailor, residing in Castle place, was next charged with using seditious and treason able language against the statute. Tne expression he made use of was, " To-h—l with the queen ! ' He was also remanded till Tuesday, but was admitted to bail, himself in £5O, and two sureties in £2O each. LORD HARDINGE AND THE IRISH COMMAND.—It is not improbable, says the Observer, that Lord Hardinge will proceed to Ireland to assume an important military command. 'The alarming condition of the south - of Ire land, and the necessity for a great increase of troops in that quarter are in themselves sufficient reasons for the establishment of a special and separate command. It is not at all intended to interfere with the duties of the Commander of the Forces in Ireland, Sir Edward Blakeney, who has held that command so long, and whose ability and judgement are equal to his great experience. He will remain in Dublin to command in chief the troops of the metropolis and to direct generally the military movements throughout the entire kingdom. The condi tion of the southern district, however, is so serious, that the presence and command of a soldier at once so sueces ful and so eminent as Lord Hardinge may be immediately necessary, if it have not become so already. Notwith standing his rank and eminent services, Lord Hardinge has at once waved all personal considerations, and placed himself at the disposal of the Government, to be employed in any capacity where his services might be deemed most useful. His ready acquiescence, as well as his name and reputation will be of themselyes - mOst serviceable in pro ducing confidence in all quarters. [We learn by the last advices from London that Lord Hardinge would leave London for Liverpool last night.] POSTAL DISPUTE WITH AMERICA.—The answer given in the House of Commons on Thursday to the question of Mr. W. Brown, of Liverpool, concerning the postal dis pute with America, has been a subject of comment since amongst the merchants connected with that country. The point urged is that the matter has been too long in uncertainty, and that an immediate settlement is esential, not merely in deference to mercantile interests, but to prevent that growth of ill-feeling which must inevitably arise from every day's continuance of a system having for its end nothing but mutual damage and annoyance. After nearly a year of vain effort the statement of the government, therefore, that negotiations are still " pen ding," whm the summary method just adopted by the United States seems to indicate that on their side at least all present hope of a settlement is over, affords very little ground for satisfaction. The real thing on which the public are anxious is, not as to whether negotiations are pending, for it was of course not supposed, even in the face of the retaliation just enforced against us, that the question could have been altogether abandoned, but whether there is any chance of these negotiations being brought to a speedy termination. It is while the matter I is "pending" that the merchants are suffering, and hence the argument, that as the people on both sides seem dis posed to come to an equitable conclusion if they could but get at the matter as it stands, it would be better, unless there be an immediate prospect of agreement, for the English to follow the example of the American Govern- , ment, and by giving an open statement of their case to facilitate the adjustment of it by the aid of public opinion. THE WOUNDED IN THE LAST INSURRECTION IN PARIS.—A friend has favoured us with a copy of the Boulogne Gazette of the 25th ult., in which there appears an interesting surgical account of the state and treatment of the wounded in the recent insurrection, from the pen of Mr. Bennett Lucas, an eminent Landon surgeon, who visited the Parisian hospitals. It appears from this, that j the wounds received by the combatants " entered in every ! direction, save one, and that was behind." He saw 400 patients at one hospital, and but one had to expose his back to examine the orifice; the exit of a bullet which the br:.ve fellow had received directly in front. There were no sabre or bayonet wounds. The bullets were sent face to face, at or from windows ; some balls consequently entered the body in front, others entered it from above downward, and a few in the contrary direction. A con siderable number entered the body laterally and with few exceptions took an oblique course. Great attention was paid by the surgeon in dressing the wounds. "A young garde mobile received a shot in the centre of the forehead between the eye-brows; this coursed beneath the skin, following the direction of the brow and was extracted at the temple, without doing any material mischief." Shat tered fineers were innumerable, and none of the principal joints of the body escaped injury. "An injury to the hip joint was of peculiar interest; a bullet entered it. in front and fractured the neck of the thigh bone. The interest in this case, as well as in some wounds of the shoulder and elbow joints, arose from the well directed endeavours of the surgeon to preserve the limbs to their owners. In short it would take a volume, and that of no ordinary pretensions as to size, to enumerate the number, variety, and complications of the various injuries which came. under my notice ; whilst a page would almost suffice to describe their treatment." Apart from primary amputations, nothing more was done than to assist nature, leaving the rest to her handywork. At Boulogne and elsewhere, the ladies were busily employed making lint for the use of the Paris hospitals, and their exertions were gratefully acknowledged by the medical and municipal bodies of the city. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. _ . We have got pretty well over the difficulties of the past week; and a tolerably firm feeling prevailed on 'Change to-day, as will be seen from the detailed report subjoined. English funds have been somewhat depressed during the week, but the lowest price for Consols was 85k, which they touched on Thursday. They opened on Saturday at 86k, and during the day, owing to the delay on the part of the insurgents in Ireland in provoking any actual conflict, together with some rather improved accounts of the po tato crop of that country, they experienced an advance of a half per cent.—Two failures were announced in the Stock Exchange, one in the share and one in the English market, but the amounts were not important. The foreign stock-market has not experienced much altera tion, but, influenced in a degree by English securities, prices were slightly firmer towards the close of business. Irish affairs have very much depressed the SHARE Market during the past week, and until Saturday we had a great preponderance of sellers. On that day, how ever, and to-day, the more favourable news and the pros pect of finer weather, have produced a change, and we have had several good buyers at advanced prices. There is a general impression that prices are very unduly de pressed in this market, and we think should there be a continuance of fine weather and no serious disturbances in Ireland, (which we do not apprehend), that a very consi derable rise will take place. Royal Assurance Shares have declined 5 per cent, from a rumour that the directors have resolved to pay only 2s. per share. This has given great dissatisfaction to the shareholders, who think them selves entitled to a better dividend. They have incurred • the risk and responsibility of holding the shares through these troublous times, and think it only just that they should receive the full amount of profit secured in such - times. There is a talk of an amendment, proposing a bonus in addition, being moved at the meeting on Thurs day, which appears likely to be carried. The Corros market, having recovered from the preju dicial effect of the unfounded reports from Ireland, closed on Friday at about the quotatious of the previous week ; anct although the lower qualities of American declined a trifle, it did not amount to a quotation. There was a fair business transacted on Saturday. The sales amounted to fully 5,000 bales, nearly all American, to the trade: prices continued unchanged. There have been a fair attendance of consumers here TO-DAY, and in the absence of further " untoward" reports from Ireland, the market has resumed a steadier appearance, holders con tinuing firm, so that the quotations of Friday have been more easily realized again, particularly for the common and middling class of American, which still almost entirely engross the attention of the trade, whilst the good medium qualities are almost wholly neglected. East Indian in fair request, and prices very steady, with a poor selection on view. The sales arc estimated at from 6,000 to 6,500 bales; some little for export. Imports come in pretty freely, and we shall make a fair show for several weeks yet. The harvest is going on swimmingly in the South of England, up to Shrewsbury, north of which the fields are still looking a little green, and the crops are everywhere looking well, though, generally speaking, somewhat thin. The English markets, however, generally con tinue on the advance for Wheat and Flour, which has the effect of rendering THE TRADE HERE firm, but without any important change in prices. The imports into this port since Thul-eday are :—Wheat, from Ireland 70 qrs., coastwise 10 ; Barley, coastwise 24 qrs.; Oats, Ireland 75 qrs. ; Beans, Europe 2283 qrs. ; Indian Corn, U. States 3826 qrs.; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 40 brls.; Flour, Ireland 350 sacks, coastwise 18 brls., U. States 52 brls. Exports:—Wheat, Ireland 200 qrs., coastwise 12 ; Oats, coastwise 150 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 12 qrs. ; Pease, coastwise 50 qrs.; Indian Corn, Ireland 4486 qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 790 brls. ; Flour, Ireland 230 sacks 670 brls., coastwise 160 sacks 285 brls.—The Wheat trade in London is steady TO-DAY, at about last Wednes day's prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease about ls. dearer. Oats 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer.—We have received better accounts of the POTATO crop. The following extracts from well-authenticated Irish letters, only one of which is of an unfavourable tendency, we here subjoin : Limerick : The reports from the country tend to allay the apprehensions which the first symptoms of disease in Potatoes excited, as to the safety of the crop; and it is certain there has been little observable extension of the malady to previously uninfected plants, and that the dis eased have rather recovered than retrograded.— roughal Potatoes are getting no worse with us. There was a large delivery to market to-day, of excellent quality, price sd. to 60. per stone.—Cork r : The Potato market is largely supplied; the size and quality are very good, at 7d. to H. per wt. of 211b.—Villierstown: The Potato crop in this neighbourhood as yet looks as well almost as could be wished; however, an odd stalk could be found with symptoms of disease.—Belfasl : Reports still prevail as to the Potato crop being touched by the disease of 1846, and I am sorry to say some better authenticated cases have been spoken of than had appeared hitherto this season. Since Thursday last the SUGAR market has presented a much more lively appearance. Holders are less anxious to realise, whilst the grocers have been and are still buyers. on fully previous terms. The sales made are very fair, and stiffer rates obtained.-Rum is more in demand, and purchases cannot be made unless at an advance on former prices.-Saltpetre continues very flat.-A large business has been concluded in Rice : the sales, including to-day, are fully 14,000 bags at 9s. 9d. to Ils. 6d. for small broken to mid. white Bengal. There arefurther orders unexecuted. -In the London markets the business of the week has been upon a moderate scale, and, with the exception of rice, in which there have been considerable fluctuations, prices generally are without alteration. The sugar mar ket has shown a more settled character, and, although the duty question still remains to be discussed in Parliament, buyers have come forward with more freedom than during last week, and in some descriptions have purchased largely. AMERICAN Lard has taken a turn towards higher prices ; and owing to the lightness of stocks, and the competition last week amongst country buyers, an advance of from 2s. to 3s. per cwt. has been realised on all qualities except inferior and Grease. We have no alteration in the range of quotations for Bacon, although the business, which has been considerable, has been mainly confined to inferior descriptions. The market has been cleared of Hams in dry salt, which are much wanted ; a few hundred packages in pickle have been sold at 235. to 325. per cwt. Shoulders are scarce, and fetch full prices. It will be seen from the subjoined quotations, that the value of " Prime Mess " Pork has receded from 40s. to 605., to 365. to 555., and " Prime " is a shade lower ; in " Mess." holders display more firmness, and previous prices are maintained. Beef still continues scarce, and full prices have been realised. Very little doing in Cheese. Prices Current :- Cheese-(duty paid)-Fine, -s to -s per cwt. ; 40s to 43s ; ordinary, 35s to 38s. Beef-U.S. (free)-Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b.,. 85s to 92s 6d ; ordinary, SOs to 83s, old 40s to 60s; extra, India, family, &c., 97s to 105 s; ditto, per balf-barrel, 28s to 35s ;-mess, per barrel, 2001 b., 50s to 585 ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old 36s to 40s; prime, 188 to 40s.

Pilot Biscuit -(duty paid)-15s to 205 per cwt. IRISH Butter has been more in request this week ; the sale of best southern brands, however, has been somewhat retarded, on account of holders wanting more money ; but good northerns have been disposed of freely for shipment; the trade in landed parcels is not brisk. There is little doing in Irish Bacon, and Hams are only in moderate request. The following are the prices this day (landed in Liver pool) : -Butt er : Waterford, new, 80s. to 81s. ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Clonmel, 80s. to 84s. ; Carrick, new, 795. to 82s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 80s. to 821.; Belfast, 80s. to 82s. ; Ballymoney & Coleraine, 78s. to 80s. ; Banbridge, 783. to 795. ; Newry and Dundalk, 725. to 763. ; Londonderry, 765. to 78s. Bacon : Long Middles, free from bone, new, 565. ; Short Middles, free from bone, new, 575. Hams: Dry, 655. to 725. Lard : Fine Keg, 50s. to 525. Arrivals for the week ending this day : -Butter, 5695 firkins, 1894 crocks; Bacon ? 135 bales; Lard, 2 tierces, 50 kegs, J. lie arrivals of Trmiam from British America during the month consist of 14 vessels, 22,878 tons, 'Which com pared with same period last year, show 25 vessels, 15,329 tons, more this year than last, and, in like manner, coin paring the total import in each year since Ist February, there appear to be 2b vessels, 22,150 tons, more this year than last. But it should be borne in mind, that last year's was less than an average import. The business of the month opined with a firmer feeling for square Timber, more particularly for St. John's Pine, which has continued throughout and has closed with a slight advance being established ; but Spruce Planks have yielded to the pres sure of increased arrivals, and lately lower rates have been accepted for theta than had been previously known here. There is still, however, a much less animated country de mand than we are accustomed to at this period of the year, nor can much improvement be looked for until affairs both at home and abroad assume a more settled appear ance. The arrivals since Ist February to present date, compared with those in last year, are as follow :- From Ist Feb. to 30th J uly, 1848. From Ist Feb. to 30th July, 1847. Vessels. Tons. Vessels.

John, .. 54 .... 25,963 Baltic 3B 12,090 Baltic Considerable improvement has taken place in the Wool. market since our last monthly report, and the demand has been extensive for many kinds, particularly in the lower qualities. The accounts from Yorkshire and other manufacturing districts are of a more cheering character, yet we cannot report any advance generally, but we anti cipate before long, from the light ness o f s t oc k s , th a t a „th ic mee t accrue ; it is obvious that the raw ma terial is far below a remunerating figure for the grower, therefore it follows, that imports will be for a time cur tailed. Since the groundless statement propagated a few days ago respecting Ireland, less has been doing ; how ever, there is no reason to doubt but in a short period, trade will have resumed its late position, as there is not much to be apprehended as to the ultimatum of the un pleasant state of heland, and as long as the news is of a favourable nature from the continent. A fair busipess has been done in East India, Servia, Oporto, Seopia and Kalkland Lambs, Buenos Ayres, Smyrna and Russian fleece (part, of the latter to arrive), with other low descrip tions. Good white East India is much vented, and Pe ruvian, which has been too long neglected, there is some enquiry for. The sales in Alpaca have been limited ; first class parcels will bring our quotations. In Scotland, at the late Inverness fair, few parcels were sold, owing to the unwillipgness of farmers to realise at the present rates. The demand for Laid Highland is equal to the import; the market is bare and what arrives is soon taken into consumption ; a better feeling exists for Cheviot, but pur , chasers refuse to give any advance. The London wool sales which commenced on the 22nd June, and terminated I on the 19th ultimo, drew a good attendance of buyers ; ! towards the close, an advance was obtained on prices *alined at the beginning of the sales, of id. to lid. Ifx lb. on fine wool, which is sustained. Public sales will beheld here on the 10th proximo. . A better demand has arisen for OLIVE. OIL, the saleso the month have been large ; both speculators and manu facturers have operated freely; and the market has an up ward tendency. _ _ The Scotch Pig IRON Market has been very quiet throughout the week, but prices have remained steady at 453. to 455. 61. for mixed numbers, free on board, as Glasgow. From the likelihood of the disturbances in Ireland being now speedily quelled, a more active demand is looked for. Bar Iron, ordinary sizes, in Wales, £5 15s. per ton. The present prices of Tonacco are as follow :-,Tames' River Leaf, faded, ad. to 3d. ; ordinary sound, 3d. to 34d. ; middling, 34d. to 4d. ; good and fine, 44-d. to 51d. ; ditto stemmed, faded, 2d. to 2W.; ordinary sound, 3d. to 34. d. middling, 4d. to 44-d. ; good and fine, 4i-d. to 51d. and 6d. Kentucky leaf, 2i-d. to 4d. ; stemmed 31d. to sd. The last return from the Bank of England states that the amount of notes in circulation is £19,040,720, being a decrease of £104,340; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £14,108,707, showing a decrease of £154,469, when compared with the preceding return. The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse state, that although little business had been transacted, the prices for Dutch and, Russian were slightly better. Spanish was dull, sales having latterly increased. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday, at 45f, ; the Five per Cents., 72f. The overland mail which reached London yesterday brings intelligence from Bombay to the effect that the setting in of the south-west monsoon had put a stop to business. Abundant rain had fallen. The money market was in a healthy condition, supplies of specie coming freely from China. The market for cotton piece goods and cotton yarn was quiet. Freights, owing to a large accumulation of tonnage, gave way. The last engagement to Liverpool was at £3 per ton, but, as several additional arrivals were reported, it was not expected this rate would be maintained. Rates to London we quote at £2 10s. to £2 12s. 6d. ' • and for China we hear of t wo vessels taken up-one at Sir. per candy, and the other at Sr. Exchanges had experienced a slight decline, a con siderable amount in Russell's draughts upon Baring's having changed ,hands at ls. 10d. The banks asked ls. 9:1-d. for bills at six months' sight, but only one transac tion at this rate had taken place. At Calcutta business was still extremely depressed. A . better disposition to ship sugar was shown, but at a trifling improvement in prices which holders were less inclined to accept. Saltpetre had given way 4a. to 6a. per maund. Little was doing in rice. The import market was still in an unsatisfactory state. The demand for cotton piece goods was limited, and prices were depressed. No change had occurred in the money market. Exchange was no minally at 1-10 for six months' sight, paper, with docu ments, but there was none offering. The most experienced brokers have no recollection of bills of exchange being so very scarce. Freights remained pretty steady at our last quotations, with a slight advance in the rates for some articles to London. For sugar and saltpetre our quota tions are £4 ss. to £4 10s. THE PACKET SHIP CONSTITUTION. The increasing trade between this port and New York, more particularly in the transit of passengers. has given to the industry of America a stimulus in the building of ships suited to that traffic, and produced a marked im provement in their size, capacity, model, and general equipment. Hitherto clippers in speed and great in burthen, they are now excelling in the more important points—of producing fast-sailing, good carrying, well ventilated and strong ships ; and in no instance is this position more verified than in that of the packet-ship Constitution, some particulars of which may not prove uninteresting. In point of external appearance the Con stitution has all the symmetrical beauty of a line of battle ship. Her entrance is fine, her hearing good, and her run such as would scarcely leave a ripple in her wake. Her stem from the water-line has a graceful curve and is surmounted by a colossal figure of General Washington, with trail hoard richly carved; her stern is also relieved with scroll work, surmounted by the American Eagle. The length of the Constitution, from stem to stern post, is 200 feet. Her keel is ISB feet. The breadth of beam is forty feet ten inches, and the depth of hold thirty-one feet. She has three decks. A prome nade deck,- usually sparred, but in this case planked and caulked, a gun deck, and a berth deck. The between decks are extremely lofty, and well ventilated, but no conception of their capaciousness can be formed by de scription. On the gun deck most comfortable staterooms are erected, while below the berths for steerage passen gers are in great part constructed of iron, and are so roomy that for the four voyages and a passage she has made, not a single case of sickness has occurred. Yet, in case of need, she has that significant sign, so lauded by our talented townswoman Mrs. Marry,—" This ship carries a surgeon." The saloon is splendidly, and at the same time substantially, decorated. The state-rooms, which ru•a down each side, are cut off by pannelling, in dark and richly-feathered mahogany, skirted with rosewood, and relieved with intervening pilasters, in white enamel, picked out with gold in correspondence with the mouldings of the ceiling. The sofas and settees are upholstered in crimson plush, and the whole has the appear ance. not only of splendour but of warmth and comfort. The state-rooms, as may be conceived in a vessel of upwards of forty feet beam are roomy, convenient, and well lighted. They are pro vided with accommodation for thirty cabin passengers, and though now fully a week from the sailing day, only one room is unengaged. The Constitution was built at New York, by Messrs. Brown and Bell, at the time of the dispute as to the Oregon Territory, and in strength is so superior, that had that question not been satisfactorily settled, she would have been purchased by the govern ment, and rated as a 44 gun frigate, but is fully calculated to mount 60 guns. Hor timbers are solid Live Oak, her planking oak to the water-line, and above that pitch pine. Her knees are all well grown and fitted, and she is copper fastened throughout and coppered. The scale of spars is fully equal to those of any American frigate. The Con. stitution is commanded by Capt. J. Britton, whose long connexion with the port as commander of the Rochester, has gained him the esteem of the first in the trade, while his generous, but seaman like conduct has secured the acknowledged good wishes of all who had the pleasure of his company at sea ; indeed, such is the estimation in which he his held that his command will give a preference to any ship. As a conveyance for passengers the Constitution is most admirably suited ; indeed the very fact of her being the largest merchant ship. (British or American) that ever entered this port, will give her a strong recommendation. Her tonnage is, by register, 1,609, and her estimated burthen close on 2,000 tons. She is consigned in the passenger department here to Mr. B. Byrne, jun., of Waterloo-road, whose ma nagement of her last voyage has been spoken of in high terms of commendation. To strangers the sight of this ship will be highly gratifying. A telegraphic message received from Birtniwtham, on Saturday, states that the detective sent to apprehend Dr. Reynold, had succeeded in capturing him. IRISH VANITY.—Gen. Cavaignac, the Military Dicta tor of Paris, who suppressed the insurrection, is of Irish descent and of the once princely race of the Cavanaghs of Barris.—Limerick Chronicle. THE COM No HARVEST. — The Gardeners' Chronicle publishes returns from various parts of the country of the present appearance of the crops. They indicate a full average produce of wheat, a various yield of barley, a comparatively poor crop of oats and of b eans , a very b a d crop of peas, rood promise of a turnip cro p, an d a h eav y crop of hay of variable quality. They indicate also a stock of wheat on hand considerably beyond the average of past years at this season. On the whole, we think there was at the date of these ret urns ever y reason f or th an kf u l anticipation regarding the ensuing harvest. THE SEA LIONEss.--One of these amphibious crea tures having been captured in the South Seas, by a Cap tain Triscott, has been brotight to England, and is now exhibiting in London. It evidently belongs to the seal tribe, from which it differs in the general squareness of its head and the specific flatness of its nose. Its eyes are round, c49d brilliant, end its skin is covered with smooth h bl u a n e l l a i n sh b .g r a g y . bai o r, i w le h o il f e teeth, he 4 in an , d ,rs s of the grinders. A living specimen of the sea has its its ti p n e=r i l i t i te e s t is which consist of only four in front, besides‘ lioness"a few small never before been seen in this country, and the present opportunity, therefore, rill not. be lost by the students in natural history. But we may remark the animal seems rather to be in a dying than thriving condition. _ - - - SILVER.--in the L'Ords Committee on the Bank Act of 1844, Mr. Glyn was asked, " Do you approve of that clause of the act which restricts the Bank in the purchase of si!ver bullion ?" To which he replied, " I certainly do net. I think the restriction to one-fifth is very in convenient, ant practically, in the spring of last year, was found so. Merchants from the Pacific, whose returns are very much in silver bullion, found, when it ar rived last spring, that there was no market for it here, and they had to send it over to Paris for returns in bills of ex change, and when they came back there was a difficulty in discounting. The interval lost, which is about six weeks, is a very serious thing to a mercantile house. And there is another evil in it. Supposing the amount of bullion held in the issue department to be in the exact propor tions allowed by the act, with one-fit-h silver, and supposing that £400,000 of notes go in taking the same amount of sovereigns out, that immediately alters the proportions, and the issue department must necessarily sell silver bullion to keep the proportions right, and thus reduce the circulation another £lO,OOO to keep up the pro portion." NARROW ESCAPee Or HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD FROM FrnE.—On Saturday morning her Majesty's dock yard at Devonport most narrowly escaped a serious con flagration. As an inspector was going• his rounds at one o'clock, he 'Saw some smoke issuing from the Old Horn engine -house, closely abutting on the roof of No. 4 dock, in which the Cambridge, 78. is repairing, and on opening the door discovered the workmens' dresses, which were dtMnsited there, in a blaze, and a poliumar t 's l an t ern hurtling ii; the midst of the fire. With the assistance of the seijeant and the policeman on the beat he turned on the ready prepared hose to the water-pipe, and very soon extinguished it. On subsequent examination, by the admiral superintendent and the Queen's solicitor, of the policeman stationed on the beat, the man stated that he lost a key in the engine-house, and lighted his. lantern from the corporal of the guard's lantern, and by the aid of which endeavoured to find it, when, hearing the inspector of police coining the rounds, to avoid being detected with his lantern lighted, he placed it on the floor of the build ing, and threw some of the workmens' clothes over it, and thus the fire originated. The man was remanded until Mo nday, when he will be re-examined. It was fortunate that the smoke was discovered so promptly, for the building wLg full of inflammable materials ; and if the fire had acquired any strength, the roof of the dock and the line of battle ships would have been inevitably destroyed, and it would have been impossible to have estimated the extent of the damage her Majesty's dockyard would have sustained.
