LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 20.

Ins government of Ireland during the last six
or eight mouths has been one of the most trying
tasks of which a statesman could assume the respon-
sibility. During that time, certainly, all the energy
and intelligence of the entire government was applied
to the one 4reet care, the one great difficulty, and the
legislature itself was called to interfere, week after
week, by its debates or by its votes, almost in the
immediate government of Ireland. It would be
.safair, therefore, to attribute to one person the merit
or demerit of all that has been done in and for Ireland
during the last year. The legislative portion must even
be divided between parliament and the government.

The latter was manifestly anxious to combine per-
manent with temporary measures, and not only to
stave off famine, but to seize the opportunity of the
disorganisation of labour to effect or lay the founda-
tion of • wiser arrangement. Not so much parlia-
ment, as circumstances have defeatedthie hope. The
failure of the potato crop has acted like an epidemy,
and seems to have sheds kindred blight upon other
produce, even after a satisfactory harvest had been got
an. At least its effect upon consumption has led to
muck the same result. For the Irish has become
not only an English but a European famine. In this
state of things, there were no millions disposable for
emigration or reclamation, or for any measures
largely affecting the labour market. If the English
cannot say that charity begins at home, for they were
eager and early to bestow it, at least it ends there ;
and there now remains bat to provide for absolute
necessities, instead of attempting improvements or
reforms.

Lord Bras&
carried on the

fortunately undertook and
tration in Ireland when the

English purse was freely open. And he certainly
did so take advantage of these powers, that notwith-
standing the brawl of a few local agitators and mal-
contents, a winter of unparalleled famine has passed
away, without any of those signal outrages, disasters,
and 'penes of wholesale death, which seemed under
the circumstances inevitable. Bat we can well

-imagine the late Lord Lieutenant, had he lived, and
Mr. LABOUCHERE, anxious and delighted to escape
from the dread task and its responsibilities, after
baying laboured in it so successfully, but so painfully,
through one of the most trying periods of Irish
history.
Lord CLARENDON now enters on this task, and we
are not a little surprised at his hardihood, under
circumstances, that might deter even the most
adventurous politician. His predecessor had not a
few advantages—that of being of a race of old, liberal,
Irish landlords, having a full purse to draw from, and
being charged with the charitable and dispensing
powers of the government, whilst ministers, in
cabinet and in parliament, undertook the coercive
sad disagreeable portion of Irish rule.

Theretura Lord Lieutenant has a law of relief to ex-
ecute, far less popular than the labour-rate ; a summer
before him, of which the supplies are, it is to be
feared, not so well assured as those of even the winter
whioh has passed. He has a poor-law to see put in
operation against the interests of the upper climes, the
apathy of the lower, and the ignorance of the middle.
And he must expect a resuscitation of that furious
party spirit, which circumstances occurred to lull
d• the three put months. Thet dissensions of the
rers, the dump of 0 CONNELLfrom the
mere, the diariesof the lower classes, the distraction
of 'other ranks, and their forced attention to the
realities of what the legislature were about to enact,
instead of to their own dreamy and turbulent plans
of disaffection, almost freed Lord BVEIBOROUGH
from several of the permanent obstructions and
annoyances to Irish government. The approaching.
elections will now recall all these pestilent
elements to activity and life. And the management
of that most unmanageable class, the professional and
political personages of Ireland, would alone give an
Irish government more than its full share of anxiety
and employ. _ _

The dangerous foes or independent powers in Ireland
see the popular leaden, the professional leaders, and
the chiefs of the proprietaial class. For lower, mid-
dle, and upper classes are not disaffected or impracti-
cable of themselves, if their self-constitated chiefs
would let them alone. The popular leaders are
evidently the priests. The professional leaden pro.
tend to be popular ones ; but they are only so in cer-
tain degrees and on certain questions, which they, of
mune, seek to magnify and extend. The chiefs of
the proprietorial class will, in their efforts to defeat
the Poor-law, be not the least troublesome to be dealt
with by the future government of Ireland. The late
rout and discomfiture in the House of Lords, when
Lord STANLEY showed himself BO incapable a leader,
will certainly have a moat useful effect in humbling
their pretensions. But their efforts to dominate, or to
thwart the Castle, cannot bat still be formidable.

We risk little in assuming that the speech with
which the CHANCIILLOR of the EXCUEQUER pre-
faced the motion he submitted to the Commons
en
Tuesday evening, for a select committee on
railway business, will prove eventually to have been
the committee's draft report. Ministers do not uk
far committees on subjects which call for action, and
for immediate action, without having pretty well
made up their minds as to the course they intend to
puma The majority of the committee are come-
qteinenetTlyseleeted from members known to concur
g in the ministerial views ; and this being
understood, members decidedly hostile to these views
naturally decline to serve upon such a committee, for
feet of bang oompromised. The tenor of the Crux-
mason of the Faceamma's speech, and the number
of railway potentates on the committee, show both
what he intends to do, and that he does it with the
approbation of the real railway interests.

tained--at the expense of a oostly investigatico—it 1
would be too late to proceed with soy.
Of all succedanewns for a comprehensive and pe-
remptory suspension of railway rags in pulls,
mat, that oriented by Mr. WADE is the most ob-
jectionable. • would allow bills to pass, but im-
pose a restriction on the construction of railways
authorised by them. If there is one point lees
dubious than another in railway policy—in
mercantile policy generally—it is the inexpediency of
trammelling future operations by premature regula-
tions of detaiL If possible, the incorporating statute
under which a railway company is to act ought never
to be definitively. sanctioned until operations are on the
eve of commencing. To pass a bill this year for a
railway that is not to be begun for two or three years,
is to debar by act of parliament those who undertake
it from benefiting by the experience of these years,
or from availing themselves of new combinations that
may offer, except at the expense and trouble of passing
twice through the fiery parliamentary ordeal.
So much on the question how the step obviously
contemplated by ministers, and approved of by cer-
tain railway potentates, ought to be taken, if taken at
all. As for its necessity, that is a more difficult
question. The objections of those who are anxious
to press on mote vat coete lie on the surface.
It is quite possible that party tactics towards
the close of a parliament may require an ac-
celerated despatch of business incompatible with
the length of time requisite for getting even deco-
rously through the mass of railway business now be-
fore parliament. It is quite possible that the great
railway companies may not be displeased to find a
pretext for impeding the creation of new companies
to set about immediately what it may be for their own
interest to undertake some years hence, though not at
present. It need not be denied that the opinions
of ministers and railway potentates as to the expe-
diency of suspending the railway. business of the
semen, would be far from conclusive if they stood
alone and unsupported. But these opinions are
little more than echoes of those expressed for
months back by the leading capitalists and agents
on our metropolitan and provincial exchanges. An
opinion prevails throughout the country that in the
present state of the money market it would be most
inexpedient to tie up in the permanent investment of
railways alone, the large amount contemplated by
the ag to of railway promoters. The reasons
' for this opinion are plausible; but waiving
the consideration of the reasons, the mere ex-
istence of the opinion is conclusive. Deranged as
the money market of the world is to an alarming
extent by the influence of the E ropeaa dearth, it
would be to risk a panic were the fuurther progress of
the contemplated new railways to be sanctioned by
the legislature against the (we may say) unanimous
opinion of money dealers.
That part of the Cusecisubit of the EXCHEQUER'S
speech which hinted at permanent regulations with
respect to railway leuislation appears of more ques-
tionable soundness. The suspension of the legisla-
tion now in progress is a proposition which
must be affirmed or negatived now or not
at all. Regulations of a more general and
permanent character had better be reserved
deliberation at a cooler moment Ono great
recommendation of the suspension is its tendency to
prevent panic ; but it does not do to impose perma-
nent restrictions under even the indirect influence of
an expected panic. In making this remark, however,
we would be understood to object only to the time at
which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S pro-
posal that none but bond fide concerns shall be
admitted to the chance of obtaining parliamentary
powers is made. Such a regulation is in itself
most expedient and necessary. It has become
a trade to get up bills solely with a view to obtain
powers in order to dispose of them at a profit to some
great established company. Passing such bills is
merely offering a premium to premature enterprise.
It compels companies to undertake extensions before
they are called for, lest some other parties should get
into a position to compel them to pay dear for leave
to undertake them. There is no injustice—no inter-
ference with fair speculation In putting down this
trade. The shareholders in companies, organised not
to construct railways, but to dispose to third parties
(by sale or lease) of the power of constructing rail-
ways, rarely profit by the adventure. It is the traders
in getting up and managing such companies, who
make money—in the great majority of cases—both at
their expense and the expense of the company who
buy them out.

We have received several letters on the subject of
Mr. Wasmar's Medical Registration Bill, with espe-
cial relation to our remarks on the objections raised
against this bill by the National Institute of General
ftme. Although the members of the institute
are exceedingly angry with us, and affect to repre-
sent its council as expressing the voice of the great
bulk of the medical profession, we have every reason
to believe that a large majority of medical men, and
not only those who keep aloof from the National
Institute, but even many of its members, are in
favour of Mr. WAILLETtEI bill. In the list of
the committee of gentlemen who have been
appointed to watch and promote the progress of
Warum's bill through parliament, we find
members of the National Institute, and many others,
have forwarded petitions to the House of Commons
in favour of the bill A very unusual number of pe-
titions from every part of the country have been
already presented to parliament, praying for the
miming of this bill into a law; and we believe we are
only representing the opinion of the great majority
of medical men in this country in advocating the
measure. We have not, however, advocated it
es a final step, and have always regarded it as the
beet thing that could be done under the present
circumstances. It does not appear to us that
it will interfere in any manner with the
existence of the National Imitate, or 'subse-
quently with more extended measures of reform. It
appears that the great objection of the council of the
institute against the MU, is that it virtually repeals
the educational requirements of the Apothecaries'
Act. Now, if it could be proved that the present
highistandard of medical education had been princi-
ly, or in any way, promoted by the palling of the
pothecaries' Act, and that that standard was not
required by the public, nor likely to be maintained
bheseny Mhe• medical educational institution in the
kingdoms, then we might hesitate before we
accepted Mr. Waimar's bill. But the history of the
Apothecaries' Company shows that, so far from this
having been the case, this body has always
been behindhand in its requirements. On first exer-
cising its powers under the act of 1815, its demands
tram of the scantiest and lowest character. A ix
Baths' scamper through the hospitals, certificates of
attendance on a few lectures, and an hour's examina-
tion, were all that this body thought necessary to
militate a man a legally-qualified medical practi-
tioner. In this way aft of men were induced to
enter the profession, who never would have been in
it at all, but for the facility afforded by the Apothe-
caries' Act. More recently still, it has been behind
the time with its requirements and its examinations.
lb berm d education was not extended, till it was
lied that medical students were voluntarily

gastne..— We dad, with the exception &a
five yews' . 'B4i required by the apothe-
cart% (a ruin 4 old trade of thi apothecary
which Yr. W proposes to abolish), that the
curriculums of alien required livery much alike in
the two bodies.
It is undoubtedly to be desired that as the College
of Surgeons recognises the necessity of attending
lectures on midwifery. and medicine, they shoal
institute examinations in these departments of medi-
cal practice, and should the Medical Registration Bill
become the law of the laud, this is a point to which
tie Secretary of State would undoubtedly think right
to direct the attention of the council of the college.
We think, then, that should the effect of the Registra-
tion Bill be the rendering null the educational re-
quirements of the Apothecaries' Act, an effect which
we deem highly problematical, the standard of
medical qualification would not only not suffer, but
we believe that • much larger number of medical
students would qualify themselves for examination
at the London University, which has raised a standard
of medical education that none of our corporations
have yet at all approached.
More than one of our correspondents repeat the
objection of the National Institute to Mr. WAHLEY'S
Bill, that it would confirm the practice amongst
chemists and druggists of prescribing medicines, and
acting as medical men. This objection ought cer-
tainly not to have come from those who are upholders
of the Apothecaries' Act as the great protection of
the medical profession, for it has been in the very
teeth of that act that this practice has grown up
amongst us. We cannot imagine, however, that any
lawyers would be found who would interpret the
claw in the Medical Registration Bill relating to
-eimeeisks Yd druggists, into a confirmation of their
eked to pasties medicine in direct opposition to the
spirit &Jimmied@ bill, and of the clause which makes
it an indictable offence for any one unregistered to
moms the name, or discharge the functions, of a
probationer of medicine.
'Vs have coo word more to say about the power
even to the fiservissisy of State in the bill now before
the house. We should be ve7 glad to see a council
at the head of medical afftirs in this country, which
should truly represent the interests of the various
classes of medical men. Such a body it would be im-
possible to organise satisfactorily under the present
state of medical law. We regard Mr. WAKLEVIS
measure as only preparatory to a more extensive
change, and a reorganisation of the whole profession,
under which its members will feel that they have a
.common interest, and through which the public will
derive all the advantage which the education and in-
telligence of such a body are calculated to bestow.
In the mean time the oppression of old laws,
and the accumulation of new ones, the use-
leamess of old institutions, and the increase
of those of more recent date, render it imperative
that something should be done to relieve the profes-
sion from its present state of bewilderment, and to
give time for the development of some measure of
medical reform consistent with the interests of all
clams of medical men, and commensurate with the
importance of the profession in relation to the public.

We have received with our private correspondence
the Paris journals of Tuesday.
The report of the Marquis d'Aadifliret on the pro-
ject of law proposing the issue of bank notes of 200
francs was examined, on Monday, by the commission
appointed for that purpose, and was adopted. It was
laid on the bureau of the chamber on Tuesday.
The commission of the Chamber of Deputies ap-
pointed to examine the project of law for extra-
ordinary (pints for Algeria, heard the opinion of the
new Minister of War, who was accompanied by
General de la Rue, directeur des affaires of Algeria.
General Trezel declared himself in favour of the
camps agricoles or military colonisation, proposed by
his predecessor, at least by way of experiment. The
commission had previously decided to refuse the
three millions demanded for these camps. General
Trezel assured the commission that the expedition of
Marshal Bageand into Kabylia would not call for an
increase of the army, and that the present effective
force of 94,000 men would not be augmented dining
the course of the present year.
M. Tests, formerly Minister of Public Works, was
examined on Monday by the Preeddent and Committee '
of the Chamber of Peers, nominated to investigate
the charges against General Cubidres. The Margit,.
of Normanby and Count d'Appony, the Austrian
Minister, had long interviews with M. °aka on
Monday.
General Narvaez, the Spanish ambassador to the
court of the Tuileries, has arrived in Paris, accom-
panied
by his wife the Duchess of Valencia. AI
petition is now being signed at Amiens to be pre-
sented to the chambers, demanding that the free
importation of grain, as also of live stock and salted
meat, be continued and sanctioned for one year from
the present date. Similar petitions have already
been sent in from Bordeaux, Marseilles, Lyons, Mets,
and other cities of France. The Prince de la Mos-
kwa has laid before the Chamber of Peers a copy
of the petition of Jerome Bonaparte, which we men-
tioned as having been already laid before the Cham-
ber of Deputies by M. Odillon Barrot.
The Constastionnel announces the arrival, on the
evening of the 12th, of the French steamer the
Rainier, with dispatches for the government This
vessel leg Constantinople on the 27th April, and
Athens on the 2nd May. The advice* received con-
firm the news of the new and serious aspect given to
the Tarko-Greek difference by the attitude taken by
Russia.

By the Ramier we learn that H.M. steamer Locust
left Malta on the 2nd instant, with dispatches far the
commander of the British squadron anchored in tke
Pincus. It was rumoured at Malta that the British
squadron was to be considerably reinforced. The
Spartan frigate, and the brig Le Mutin, were to leave
Malta on the 6th, for the Greek waters.

The Madrid Mail of the 13th instant has reached
us in due course. Rumours of • ministerial crisis
were still afloat, and dimensions in the cabinet were
spoken of.
The Clamor Public° of the 13th says " The cabinet,
it seems, is divided on different important questions.
Three of the ministers are of the opinion that the
plans of M. Salamanca ought to be put into immediate
execution, as if they had *heady passed through the
Cortes; the other ministers are opposed to this, and
M. Salamanca himself, to avoid touching ground,
steers, like a good sailor, between both, and does not
come to a decided opinion on the subject."
All the high functionaries and the cops
=lire were present at the royal levee at Aranjuez,
and were honoured by kissing the Queen's hand.
The absence of the Ring Consort at this celebration
of the anniversary of his birth is differently com-
mented upon by the various journals of Madrid.
The state of Catalonia had attracted the particular
attention of the government, and El Heralds devotes
a column to the subject "There are two remedies,"
says that journal, " for this evil state of things. The
prevailing misery mast be alleviated by prompt
financial measures in support of the suffering people,
or the disturbances must be put down by main force.
In the latter ease it will be requisite to send three
Mire regiments into Catalonia, as the troops quartered
there are far from being sufficient to maintain order
in the country."

Courcellee that this news would render the position
of the moderado party still more critical than it is at
the present moment.
General Concha left Madrid on the 13th to take the
command of the army on the Portuguese frontier. He
was to establish his haid-quarter, at Salamanca, and
then await further orders.
The 13th being Ascension day, the Bourse was
closed.

SPAIN.—BARCBLONA, MAY 12. An account ap-
peared a few days since of the capture of an American ship,
laden with coffee, by a Mexican privateer. It appears that
this-vessel was not really a Mexican, but one belonging to
Barcelona, which, having obtained a Mexican commission to
act as a privateer, hoisted Mexican colours. The circum-
stance created the greatest interest at Barcelona. The autho-
rities took up the matter with spirit, and after due examina-
tion they condemned the privateer as a pirate, and of course
the American vessel will be restored to her captain to pursue
his voyage. There are three other craft in the neighbour.
hood with similar commissions. The Spanish authorities
behaved very well in the affair. When the war craft arrived
with her prize, she bad a portion of the American crew on
board as prisoners, while a part of her crew was on board the
bark to navigate her in.

BELGIUM.—DISTURBANCEs AT GHENT.—Riote
of an alarming nature occurred on Monday last at Ghent.
About 6 p.m. an immense number of penono collected in
various parts of the city, and commenced a regular pillage
of the bakers' shops- The military were immediately called
out, but the rioters were not dispersed before midnight. It
was remarked that a great number of them were youths from
12 to 18 years of age, but that they were excited to acts of
violence by persons much older.

SWITZERLAND.—The Hdretie states that M.

GERMANY. PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, MAY 18.—
To-day the official journal pnbiishes the commencement of
the discussions in the chamber of the three representative
states on the 12th instant. In them we find the reply of the
King to the Marshal on the subject of the petition from the
Duchy of Posen. It differs slightly in its tenor from the on-
offitial ointment of its contents that had gained currency.
His Ilfeeeely Ante the decision of the Marshal, that the
petition, as relating to an exclusively provincial matter,
evald zee be received by the states general. lie adds that
be week( gladly comply with the wish of the deputies from
Posen to allow the subject to be discussed u au exceptional
cue, in order to show his regard for his subjects of Polish
race, but cannot permit himself this gratification at the ex-
pense of violating the law. He states that if the parties
signing the petition will either transmit it directly
to himself, or mediately through the provincial
diet, the contents will be duly weighed, and every
real grievance redressed. The debate on the amended
" standing orders " were resumed. The question whether a
petition should be addressed to the King, requesting him to
allow the Diet, not the Marshal, to decide whether they were
competent to entertain any question, was affirmed by a large
majority. The Marshal announced the state of the vote in
these words—" Affirmed by an overwhelming majority, to
which I myself belong." TI se chamber next proceeded to
receive the report of the committee, to which the draft of an
ordinance relating to the valuation of lands held by the
peasant tenure (basterlicher griindstucke), and the amicable
division of the inheritance of peasant landowners had
been referred. From the report it appeared, that in
the committee a majority of 11 to 4 (8 of the
11 being representatives of the peasantestate) wished to have
the words in the title which described the law as required in
order to preserve a high-spirited peasantry struck out. A
majority of 10 to 6 (7 of the 10 being representatives of the
try) approved of the proposed enactment, in so far as
Fier ca peasantry)
to the valuation of peasant-lands. With respect to
the division of peasant inheritances a majority of 9 to 7
I were in favour of an amended law, bat a majority
of 8 to 8 against the regulations of the proposed
ordinance. The difference of opinion among the re-
presentatives of the peasant estate appears to artie
from provincial differences in the social position of the pea-
Neatly. After the report of the committee bad been read,
M. Latta, deputed by the ministers to that end, explained
and advocated the acceptance of the ordinance. In the
course of the day's proceedings the Marshal intimated, that
in consequence of the decision come to in the Chamber of
the Nobles, on the declaration of the 137 deputies, it was his
duty to return that document to the gentleman whose name
stood first on the list of signatures. M. van Vincke stated,
that not having had time to consult with his as-subscribers,
it was not in hie power to say what warm they would pur-
sue under thew circumstances.
The King has issued a decree, interdicting the
bakers from selling new bread until after the 15th of
August next, it being proved that the consumption of new
bread is much greater than that of stale bread. The police
is to fix the time that must elapse between the baking and
the sale of bread.

SWEDEN.—We learn from Stockholm that a
circus near that city, which had been lately enlarged
and ;splendidly decorated, was totally destroyed by Ire
on the night of the 2ad, with two adjoining houses. The
flames first broke out in the stables, but fortunately none of
the horses were in them at the time. The fire is attributed
to a journeyman carpenter, named Magnus Kallonder, who
had repeatedly complained of aot beimg sufficiently paid. He
has been arrested, but denies the justice of the imputation.
The total lees is estimated at mere than 270,000 f.

GREECE.—The Augsburg Gazette has advioes
from Athens to the 2nd inst. M. Argyropoulos had arrived
from Constantinople. The Turkish government had deprived
all the Greek consuls in the Ottoman dominions of their me-
quaturs ; refitted to recognise any longer the Greek Sag;
had prohibited the coast trade, and taken other measures
detrimental to Greek commerce. The English vessels were
riding quietly at anchor in the Pim', : the interest on the
loan had not yet been paid.

the ammination of the accounts of his predecessor hav-
ing represented to the Porte the disgraceful pillage et
Inman which had taken place during the government
of Oman Pacha, the latter was summoned from Kharpont
to Constantinopl, to answer to the charges that were laid
him. At the same time, it was generally given oat
,that tthe motive of the Seraskier's journey was to consult
with the Divan about the plan of campaign to be adopted
against Bader-khan Bey. But I understand from better
sources of information, that the other was the real cause of
his being summoned to the capital. However, it seems he
bas contrived to defeat the demands of justice, and to Ir.
his place ; • manoeuvre, which the possession of mash
wealth ill-acquired, and the judicious distribution of heavy
bribes, too often enable the political delinquent in this
country to effect. As to the need which the army of Ana-
toll has of reinforcements, in the October of last year, I was
prepared, by the statements which had appeared in the
official journals at Constantinople, to find 20,000 men, in-
fantry, cavalry, and artillery, concentrated at Kharpont.
What was the fact ? In stopping at the poet-town in the
plain (for Kharpont is perched, like the villages of OD
Sabine mountains in Italy, upon a craggy peak), I
learned that there were six thousand men in the
camp. The next morning, full of curiosity to see
a Turkish camp, with its green pavilions, gleaming
crescents, &c., I resigned myself into the hands of
a binbashi, whom Osman Pacha had deputed as our guide.
First be conducted us to the bapital, which, by the way,
was nearly as full of sick as it could hold, the full comple-
ment being 230, and the patients then numbering 200. Then
he led the way towards • ruinous-looking square building
with mud walla, which with • boding spint I accepted as the
habitation of the soldiery, instead of the camp. In fact they
had gone into winter quarters. It was an edifice which, we
were informed, Mehemet Redid Pecha, the famous vizier,
had caused to be run up in 12 days; an announcement
which, though intended to astonish, did not surprise me in
the least. But the number of soldiers to be fcund there—
would you believe that they did not amount to more than
1,500—t0 be sure a few were out exercising, and altogether
there may have been 2,000. And among these, diseases
of different kinds were making such ravages, that no less
than ten bad been sent down to the hospital that very day,
two of whom we met upon the road. Now the Turkish
army, upon paper Bien entendre, is 4 corps-d'armte of 30,000
men each . the army of Rowse% the troops in and about the
capital, the army of Arabia, and the army of Anatoll. But
where the 30,000 of the last are, I confess, after making all
possible computations of the detachments posted here and
there, I • 11l utterly unable to comprehend. I repeat, that
20,000 were stated to be concentrated at Kharpont, and that
there I found not more than 2,000. Some few detachments,
in twenties and fifties, were posted about in the neighbouring
villages, no doubt; but the net of the 18,000! Osman Pasha
had them perhaps in his pocket. Considering the audacious
robberies of this man in his previous office, it is not impos-
sible that he may charge the government for the victuals,
clothing, and pay of a greater number of soldiers than he
actually maintains under his command. Such things
have been known—even . in Turkey. Rica Paths (while
—— . .

a minister remains in office his dishonesties can never
be repeated too often), chanted the Porte for 160,000 soldiers,
while, at the outside, the Ottoman army under his adminis-
tration did not amount to 80,000. For these reasons I am
istieliad that the army of Anatoli stands in need, not only of
considerable reinforcements, but of a new and more honest
commander. Otherwise its efficiency will be crippled at •
moment when all the sinewe which the Poeta can muster
are like to be strained to the uttermost. Nothing amid he
fraught with greater risk, could menace the inter*, et BM
Ottoman empire more, than to receive at the outset of this
contest • check in Kutaistan. Turkish supremacy on the
banks of the Tigris depends upon the prestige of the Padi-
shah's name. He is the Commander of the Faithful, the
Peps of all Mussulmans, the Kaliph, and the descendant et
the Prophet : and no Mahometan, without the greatest re•
Inatome, without the strongest necessity of self-preserves
ties', will be found in arms against so revered an authority.
But the ice once broken, resistance once begun, and
the sultan's troops once defeated, the very depth to whiok
the rebels are compromised, the very criminality of their
success, will ensure the continuance of their rebellion, and
the progress of their victorious arms. Alter the excessive
megovernmest of recent ye Ts, after the ravages committed
by Mehemet Kritlioglon, the populations of the pachalik of
Mosul and the inhabitants of the Djerireh will not lift an
arm against the Kurdish invader, but will view his mamma
with satisfaction and hail his triumph as a delivery from in-
tolerable oppression. Hence the danger of defeat to the
Turkish troops in the outset of the war ; and the necessity
of bringing the largest amount possible of effective forces to
beer on the enemy before the assault is given. The obliga-
tion of placing them under incorruptible officers isthe more
stringent from the known wealth of Beder-khanßey, and his
subtlety in diffusing these means for the confirmation of his
power.

NEW YORK, Aram 30, 1847.
The anti-rent disturbances still continue, and the
time cannot be far distant when the British parliament will
be called upon to legislate in order to pre►ent the occurrence
of parallel disorders in Lower Canada; it may be useful to
give the public correct information on the subject ere that
period.
In former days persons of rank or influence experienced
but little difficulty in obtaining grants of immense tracts of
land in the British colonies, and these, in many instances,
conveyed to the grantees a more than feudal power over
their newly-acquired poseessions, and all who under their
unction might become settlers upon them. In the state of
New York those grants were made after the model esta-
blished by. the Dutch anthoritice ; in Lower Caught the
French seignory system was recognised and adopted by
the English conquerors. Practically, it was moon found
that the extreme power (extending in some instances
even over life itself) given by such grants was
utterly incompatible with the laws of England, and
so far they became a dead letter ; but other seeds of evil
were there, and anti-rentism is the bitter fruit they have
produced in New York state, and are likely to yield in
Eastern Canada. The origin of the mischief, and the way
in which it has hitherto worked, may thus be impartially
stated.

Ihospital, suffering undo: that dreadful malady. The latest
dates received direct, however, which are to the Bth April
insituive, make no mention of the cirenmsteuxe.

K the agitated counties the ownership of the soil is vested
in the " Patroons," who claim to hold their possessions under
royal granta ; some (as the Van Ranseellan) from Dutch,
and others fu the Livingstone) from English sovereigns.
Those lands, in their wild state, were let by the early pro-
prietors to the first settlers, at an apparently low rant, but
accompanied with conditions of a most unfair and oppressive
character. It must be borne in mind that when the settlers
first commenced their clearings in the wilderness, the land,
which has since become so valuable through their labour,
might have been bought for a mere trifle—say one
strig per acre. This, however, was a gum far
beyond the means of men who had nothing but their
" thews and sinews " to depend upon, and who consequently
were easily driven to conclude improvident bargains, subject..
sag their dacendanta to exactions such as nis reasonable and
reflecting man could have contemplated, and which, in the
end, mast defeat the object of the contrivers. The first of these
is the rent, which although certainly not heavy, has for years
been levied on an unfair and usurious calculation. Thus—
where the stipulation between landlord and tenant was, that
the latter should pay annually a bushel of produce (or its equi-
valent In money), by way of rent, for every acre of land
brought into cultivation by his own unaided labour, on his
farm, the bargain was clearly enormously, and, in fact,
usuriously. in Savour of the former, giving him from two to
four shillings per annum of rent for land, which he
would have sold to the original tenant for one shilling
per acre ! This, however, was long. and might probably
have ever continued to be, quietly barn bad it not bean ft

BOSTON, Mae 1.
Since the sailing of the last steamer, events of
great importance have transpired on this side the II WI% The
rumours which were prevalent of a decisive battle having
been fought, with heavy lees to the Mexiuns, have been
twa-
firmed. The city of Vera Crux, with the castle of St. Just
d'Ulloa, have surrendered to Gcn. Scott, and are now is
possession of his troops. Alvarado has also surrendered
without firing a gun ` • nearly all the Mexican seaports are now
held by the Americans;ns; and Scott and Taylor are advancing
by different routes on the city of Mexico. It would teens
that the Mexicans are leasdesirous of peace than ever. With
provoking obstinacy, they refuse a brotherhood pr 'flared at
the point of the bayonet ; they will not be butchered into
love, nor will they appreciate the beauties of Auglo-Saronism
which require for their development the aia of rapine,
plunder, and bloodshed.
What a frightful illustration of the twenties of repub-
licanism are we of this great republic now giving to the
world ! Never in the annals of warfare have greater atro-
cities been committed, than by some regiments of American
volunteers—violence, murder, and unprovoked cruelty have
been common, and the mimes will inform you of the herrid
crimes. A tract of temtory, almost equal in extent is the
States, has been " annexed" by proclamation, a nation sub-
, y opted by manifesto, and politicvd adventurers, invested with
irresponsible powers arc appointed "governor," over a
simple, unoffending, and feeble people. Did tyranny, with
it.. thousand shapes, ever take one more revolting than it
assumes at present in California? Stockton, a political
hack, with mock solemnity, annexes the country, joins in a
religious procession, and unites with the multitude in the
public adoration of a paraded image of the Virgin Mary,
The country is deel.aed a part of the United States, whose
laws are extended over it in pretence, though virtually the land
is reduced to martial law, and all the inhabitants who decline
to succumb to this arbitrary order of things are declared rebels.
Mark the result of giving power to such men as these.
General Flores, a Mexican, musters a few hundreds of men
to oppose the advance of the invaders; these half armed aid
undisciplined wretches are of course worsted by the well.ap-
pointed American regulars. Finding resistance useless,
Flores wishes to surrender on the must terms Riven by a
successful enemy, when Stockton refuses to receive his
reader, to answer his communication, and coolly informs him
that he is regarded only as a rebel, with whom no negotia-
tion can be held, and as such he will shoot him if he comes
into his power !
The mind turns with disgust from the contemplation of
these barbarities, and naturally asks for what end these acts are
perpetrated —what, in short, are we fighting for ? 'r." conquer
a peacre,"forsooth. Mr. Polk provokes a war with a weak neigh-
bour to " conquer a peace.' The virtual end of the war, not-
withstanding all the sophistees of the administration put
forth in its justification, is the extension of slave territory,
the necessity of gaining a preponderance of power to the
south, without which the "peculiar institution" would totter
to its fall. The l'resident well knew (and this is nuteriousl
through his agents in Mexico, before a shot was fired, that
the Rao Grande would be conceded as a boundary between
the two countries, and that so long as Taylor's army re-
mained at Corpus Christi, they would not be attacked by the
Mexicans. Yet, with this knowledge, he ordered Taylor to
advance and I ravoke hostilities; and urged, in extenuation
for destroying towns and murdering unoffending wretches,
that Mexico wan indebted to this court' ry some three mil-
lions of dollars. Its, throughout, a war of the President's,
and not of the country; a veer for making politica, capital—
for throwing enormous patronage into the hands of Mr. Polk,
to secure Mere-election. But, In this instance, the engineer
is hoisted by hie own petard. Mr. Polk has conjured op a
RAM that he cannot lay, and Taylor's SUM saes in the field
will overturn all the machinations of the cabinet, an ti outweigh
all the executive intrigues. Many papers already advocate
Taylor's claims to the next presidency ; and if he chooses to
accept the nomination there can be no doubt of his success.
The people are tired of dull, common-place men, and the
energy of Washington, Jackson, Harrison, and Taylor cans
a shade over the tame stupidity of Mr. Polk, and they went
a leader—a man of nerve—and they will go en Inane for
" rough and ready," as they style the old man of Monterey
and Buena Vista. This war has thrown a firebrand into the
national councils, and the important question comes up,
What is Wbe done with the new territory ? The introduc-
tion of the " Wilmot proviso" into the bill for granting this
millions to purchase a peace gave rise to interesting debates
in both houses, and occasioned in the non-alutholdiag states
a determined spirit of resistance to the extension of slavery,
which is rather ominous. By the strict letter of the constitu-
tion, congress hu no right to interfere with the internal
affairs of as state. It remains for a new state to prohibit
or tolerate slavery, as it may please • but the manner in
which the people have spoken out on ihis subject cannot be
misunderstood.

The Eastern States of New York and Pennsylvania have
adopted resolutions in their several legialcures, protesting
against the introduction of more slave territory into the
union ; and if the qualion be raised at Washington it is cer-
tain that no majority in the lower house in spite of the presi-
dent's patronage, and the notorious venality of some of the
western members, can be found to advocate the introductioa
of slavery into Mexico. In the senate the friends of slurry
have yet a majority, but the admission of lowa as a state will
add two members to the body, whose votes will, probably,
equalise its power.
The Macedonian has not yet sailed from New York, but is
receiving her cargo for poor Ireland. Thousands of emigrants
are landing at Boston and New York-3,000 hare arrived is
a day ! As a consequence the streets swarm with begun.
Vast numbers die on the passage from ship fever, 30 perished
in one hold, from Havre. The corporation are building new
alms houses on Staten Island, where the pauper passengers
are now landed. The safety of the city demands this regu-
lation, for if the ship fever does not decrease-before our warm
weather commences, nothing can preserve New York frost
wide spreading contagion. The Irish and Dutch are many
of them going into our regiments for as with all our love of
glory, very few Americana join the army, the companies are
tilled up from our wharves. Y. Z.
