IRELAND.

Down, Barr. 16.
The ay:emits this morning are precisely d soak a
nature as might hays Nan anticipated. The peasantry
have all dispersed, and neither at Absny, nor at Car-
rick, nor Blisvenamon, nor yet at roetlaw, does there
remain either an encampment or an approach to oas.
The .Prsemeit's Journal of this morning Mrs°
emits the whelk affair as at an end, and the naggers-
dons of the past two days give grounds for this. But
beam grounds will be frond in the straw rimperky

When we consider the eirennistinceenett. doss of
Ireland but of the empire, we shall easily understand
how the government el this conatry has been molted
by this unanticipated ambient. I have the beet pa-
stille grenade for stating that the goverment regards
this movement with great seriousness. Of I
do not mean that any apprehension is felt as to dro
result, except the humane apprehension that good
rulers always feel when obliged to deal with an an-
rely people. But we can very easily perceive other
cau-es of alarm: a condition of the popular mind apt
to c uceive violent emotions, to harbour truculent
designs, and forward to give them effect—a new evi-
dence of the antagonism of elms against class,
proprietor against cultivator, and cultivator
against proprietor ; neither manifesting proper
consideration for the position of the other, but
the one endeavouring to grasp the full mea-
sure of his rights, and the other determined
perhaps to refuse him any. And again, however
harsh may have been the proceeding in which this
agruisn insurrection originated—and there is, I be-
lieve, no doubt that a severe exercise of the power of
seizure was the cause—however government may de-
precate the exercise of legal rights, yet manifestly the
authorities cannot interfere with th in any way.
On the contrary, the maintenance of the rights of
property demands that the landlords should have sus-
tainmeut in asserting their legal claims. Whatever
we may think of the propriety of such a course, the
executive have one duty to perform, and that is to
assert the law while snob the law continues. Here iv,
therefore, a fertile source of trouble for our rulers in
the coming winter. Although, therefore, the true
character of this movement be not political, we have
to regard it as perhaps more dangerous or impracti-
cable on that account.

The peasantry are unhappily manifesting dieposi-
tions the most subversive of the rights of property
and inimical to good order—if we give credit to the
mounts published in the journals. A few days since,
at Frankford, in the Kings County, in the open day,
1:0 persons assembled and cut down a large quantity
of oorn, which they carried off the land. In every
elicitation, says the local paper there, the farmers are
carrying off their corn, determined to pay no rent.
Civil bill decrees are successfully resisted in almost all
attempts at execution , and fe w are found willing to serve
legal documents of any description. The 160 persons
carried on their operations within a short distance of
a police station ; and one audacious fellow having
been evicted from souse premises under Lord Port-
arlington, at Rnscrea, swore he would lose hie life be-
fore anybody else should enjoy possession. He had
paid no rent for six years.
Meantime you will renEzoltvrieletat the utmost vigour
pervades the military ts, and that the con-
stabulary are again ning the repute they gained
in the late diffietptks. . .

OCILtlf MONARCH.—An inquest was held otllurs-
day last at Carnarvon, on two bodies which had been brought
to that place by the Orion steamer, on the previous 'maim.
They had been picked up about ten miles to the east of the
Great Orme'. Seed, and 'opened to be Ilene of panne
aged about 60. The bodies are supposed to be those of
Samuel Fielding and William Seamen. Upon the person
of the one, supposed to be Fielding, was found thirty mine
*overages and a half, and some sane coins, also a watch—

three pentagon' contract tickets, *hoses that he
(Fielding), together with William Scambro and others
were passengers on board the ill•fated vessel, the Ocean
Monarch. On the other body was found ill., with the
initials B. B. es the inner nee of his watch, which appears
to bare been made by Clones, of London, and is numbered
3,091. Evidence was given to prove the finding of the
bodies; and the jury, in each can, returned a verdict that
the bodies were thee of persons who bad perished on hoard
the Omen Monarch. Toe coroner has taken charge of the
money and goods, and relents will be furnished by hoes with
every requisite information.
Tire ARCILHOLOGICAL AMOCIATION AT CARNAR-
VON.—On Thursday the weather was very fine, and the
streets were thronged with persons of all ranks, many of
them having been attracted to the town by the meeting of
the Archeological Association, and numbers having arrived
to attend the triennial meeting of the Welsh Calernistio At
societies. A large number of visitors went by sea to the it
teresting Wand of Bardsey, situate at the southern end of
the county of Cunneen. The Orion steam-vessel had bees
engaged by the committee to take the wade% sad
a large number of gentlemen availed themselves date mere
thus afforded them ; embarked at an early hear sod ea
joyed a delightful voyage along the coast for 30 miles. They
passed 'he Roman station at Dines Dialle, the opening of
the valley of Vortigern, and proceeded to the island of Bard-
ivy, where the party landed, and examined the remains of
the monastery inmate on the island. This monastery wee
dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and was held in groat repute.
The imaginary hellions of an adjacent well also in old times
drew a considerable number of persons to the spot, and from
these and several other sources Bardsey enjoyed gnat repute.
After examining the various points of Interest, the party re•
embarked and returned to Canianae. At the general
meeting, at seven o'clock, the paper which excited tho
greatest interest was oae, read by the Rev. Mr. agrehorne,
on Canino* Castle.

A
ti

begot rows work of tho kind, I have the wine
so entirely taken up with perforations in chi
Went rarts of Germany, and with other occurs-
lions, that I shall not be able to Mash that work in
time for your festival. But, as you intend performing my
Blijith,' in that we I have only to say that it would
afford me gnat pleasure if I could .find the opportunity to
conduct at such a festival as yours, of which nine always
heard tee most intending and brilliant accounts, and from
which I may siticipata so groat a musical treat." The cons-
newr's place at the head of the opera could not have been
better supplied than by M. Benedict; and, moreover, not
only most of the principal singers, but a coos:derable part of
the orchestra and chorus, had the advantage of hienielesobres
personal direction, both at Birmingham soil London. To
M. Benedict's skill, experience, anti nalous exertions, a. well
as to the excellence of the orametried, we owe

the most perfect performance of Mendelssohn's clutd'essivre
that has taken plus anywhere. Phillips, who sustained the
pen of Elijah, as greatly improy,cl since he appeared in it at
Exeter-halL He has evidently studied it, and entered more
deeply into the dramatic conception of the character as well
as the style of the music. In the delivery of the recitatives
he got rid of much of his former h, arintee, and, in many of
the principal passages, exhibited great force and energy.
The chief novelty in the perlormuce was Madame Viardot
Garcia's appearance in the scene where Jezebel denounces
the prophet to the people, and commands them to put him to
death. This passage, hitherto feebly rend, red, became, in
her hands, one of the moat powerful and sfriking is
the whole oratorio. Madame Castilian, in the scene
between Elijah and the Widow, sang with ex-
quisite sweetness and feeling ; and the Muses Williams
acquitted themselves as admirably as usual. The grad and
beautiful choral effects were mast fully brought out, and evi-
dently made a strong impression on the audience. The eta-
pendutu finale to the first part, " Ti inks bet. God," was
called for a second time. There can be no doubt that
" Elijah" is destined to acquire a degree of popularity in
England, second only to that of the principal works of
Handel. The third miscellaneous concert, last evening, was
lees numercusly attended than any of the previous concerts.
The programme was a melange of familiar opera songs, with
some things of a superior order. Among the latter was a
selection from Beethoven's " Fidelio," including the over-
ture ; the fine trio between Leonora, Margaret, and Rocco,
sung by Madame Viardot, Miss A. Williams, and
Mr. Phillips ; the air, " Revenge," by Mr. Whit-
worth ; the beautiful address to Hope, which
Madame Viardot gave with ravishing expression; and
the last finale. An exceedingly pretty duet, 'Mid waving
trees," by Benedict, was nicely sung by the Misses Williams,
and greatly applauded. Mr. Blagrurs performed a solo on
the violin composed by himself, and consisting of variations
on an air from the " Pirate," with full orantral *nom-
panimenta He played with his usual excellence 'Atone and
execution, and more than his usual animation, and his
efforts were rewarded by loud and long continued applause.
In Haydn's symphony in C minor (which began the coreert)
i Lindley played the little violoncello solo so beautifully
that it produced a burst of admiration from the
whole room, and the minuet and trio were re-
peated. The floe termite in Balfe's " Falstaff" between
Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Page, and Anne (" Verret parlor ") was
admirably sung by Csstellan, Viardot Garcia, and Allouni.
This opera is one of the best things the modern Italian school
(to which Belts certainly belongs) has unduced, and is much
more worthy of preservation than many pieces which hays
fat lnto great vogue. These were the most noticeable
in the concert, which, besides, contained Lablache's
C rampolli," Albonida " In questo empties," and seve-
sal other familiar favourites of the pui lie. The sacred per-
terausee of this morning was shorter than usual. It con-
sisted of Mozart's cantata, " Davidde Penitents," and Ha-
dar', " Israel in Egypt." " Davide% Penitent." is ono of
Mozart's early works. In its oiiginal form it was a mum,
umposed in 1783, upon the birth cf his fiat
shad, for the chapel of a convent in Bavaria, where his wife,
an het recovery from her confinement, received the rites of
the church. Two years afterwards, being suddenly called
woos to compose a sacred cantata for the annual festival of a
'heritable society, he took a portion of the votive macs
above-mentioned for the grout.d-work of his piece, adding
two or three movements, and adapting the whole to Italian
weeds token from the penitential psalms. It has never till
mew lasemerformed entire in England, and on this occasion
the version of the words given in the edition pub-
laid Mr. Andrews, of Manchester, has been used. It
breathe., from beginning to end, the inspiration of Mozart's
geeing. The airs and concerted pieces for solo voices are
very muck is the style of the great Italian masters
of the last century. We are ecestently reminded
of the sacred writings of 'lumen'. The choral por-
tions of the work an of the highest order; oombin-
I ins the most profound counterpoint and the grandest
manes of harmony with that beautiful [tow of melody is
each separate part which cheracterisas all the choral oomposh
limas of Mogan. The trio in E minor, for two sopranos and
a tenor, " Tats le mie rampolli " (in the English version,
" lodge me not "), is a divine pion of devout and pas-
sionate expreesion ; and the final chorus is a grand fugue

Williams, is a bravura of the most branant kind, evidently
written for some singer with an extraordinary compass of
voice. Mir Williams, whose compass wu unequal
to it, was obliged to change a number of passages
which went too low for her ; certainly to the detriment of
the mode, but she sang it so well In other respects that I did
est regret its having bun assigned to her. In some of the
*ernes there are florid pwages full of rapid divisions,
which are euesdnly hard to execute by great bodies of
wises; but these difficulties were bravely encountered and
