But there is always something sinister
about the Member for Carlisle. He told his
hearers that the world in arms was not to be
feared " if we are united amongst ourselves, as
we arc to-night." Never was the little word
" if" more awkwardly used. Probably the
Member for Carlisle meant to eonvey that his
"if " is, after all, " as great a peacemaker" as
la premiere ABERDEEN herself. War is not to
be feared—" if " the Irish allies of the Coalition
do not recollect that "England's diflieulty is
Ireland's opportunity "—"if" the Irish janis-
series in the retinue of the Duke of NEweAsmi:
do not raise the standard of revolt—" if"

as they now applaud statesmen of the Netherby
sort. The word " if," as used by the First
Lord, supplied an ugly doubt about Irish
loyalty which was not vc ry complimentary to
the country in which he was sojourning.
Some notion of this sort seems to have
crossed the mind of the speaker, for he then
took another tour, and endeavoured to show
the company that a " Cumberland yeoman "
could talk" blarney " as well as if he had kissed
the atone. He entreated the Corkoninns not
to dread lest "justice to Ireland " would not
be performed by the present Ministry. Let
them take courage: Sir WILLIAM CARROT. and
Admiral CORRY were both Irishmen. and "as

not be caught with such empty claptrans

Irishmen successively Secretaries to the Admi

What an " 013atest of the right sort" means
will receive very different interpretations in
Ireland. Some will, perhans, recollect the
ominous " if" suggested by the sinister Mem
ber fur Carlisle, and possibly may interpret
" the right sort " to be synonymous with
" Young Ireland." and its banished leerier

THE UNITED STATES.—MARVELLOUS
GROWTH OF ITS SHIPPING.
THE congregation of American ships of war in
the Mediterranean, simultaneously with the
exploit of the United States' commander in
the Bay of Smyrna. and the consequent coil
with Austria, has not escaped notice in Eu-
ropean journals, and is not without signifi-
eanco as to the future part which the President
and the Senate may possibly see fit to enact
in relation to the affairs and events of the Old
World. The Kreut: Zeitung of Berlin, a Con-
servative organ, has directed attention to this
increase of the American force, and the per-
petual corning and going of their ships to and
from Alexandria. Tangier. La Spezzia, and
other ports, till their commodore appears to
have a regular - Mediterranean fleet" under
his command. The Kreutz leitung remarks
that " the democrats of the New World have
