like circumstances, hos the fact that he is matched
spinet an enemy which alone, of all European
nations, relies as much on corruption and calumny as
on its sword, and seeks through a thousand channels
to blacken the character of those who stand in the
way of its despotic designs. Some of those
who, it is to be hoped unconsciously, aid Russia
in bar plots against the peace. and liberty
of the world, have sought to prejudice against
him those who vales words more for their
sound than their sense, by calling him "an adven-
turer." This epithet has Sways been a favourite one
With old fogeydorn, though what is the precise extent
iet the wickedness of which those to whom it is ap-
plied may be supposed guilty it is hard to say. If it
means a person who seeks to turn his WIMP to the
best account, in whatever part of the worbi be tltb
most suitable, the greater portion of trilmllmeet
Great Briton and Ireland will ems dr Efts-
mination—ell the Scotchmee who migrate km Loa•
don, all the Irish and English who find mew le
Australia and America, all the Englishams sits an
to be found in the Austrian service, and *di osiolo
legion ; and, in short, everybody, whether be ever
stirs out of his own parish or not, who owes nothing
to tortune, and leaves nothing in her hands which
prudence, courage, and fortitude can wrest from her.
Nearly all the great names of history have be-
longed to adventurers. Hannibal was en adventurer,
so were Cansr and Pompey and Marini ; so were
Prince Eugene and Prince kupert, and Raleigh and
Philip Sidney, and Cromwell; so was the elder Na-
poleon; as are Li the scions of great houses, who
make their way every year to India; eo, in fact, is
every one whose fortune was not made by his grand-
father. No man who aims high can forever walk in
the paths of milk and water &Iglu quo. Wherever
armies manoeuvre, a soldier has a right to follow his
profession, and be proud of it. Honour and merit
are of no clime and no service ; and nothing but
sheer imbecility could blame a man for taking a
step which has placed him in the command of a gal-
lant army, and made him the champion of freedom,
instead of killing time in a Viennese cafe as an
Austrian major of dragoons, or inflicting the disci-
pline of the stick upon the unfortunate Italians.

WHAT IS THE TRUE POSITION OF THE
FEIN OE CONSORT IN RELATION TO
AFFAIRS OF STATE ?

Tile following correepondenc has been published
in Dublin:
TO 1115 TOTAL 11101115358 remscs ALBEIT.
Kay it please your Royal Highoers,—l have recently
road with much pain and indignation, articles that appeared
in the public journals, containing moat inkiest and anti-
Christian sccusatioas against your Royal Highness; and,
moved by sincere sympathy and loyal duty, I beg leave to
offer, with unfeigned respect, the following observations to
your Royal Highness:
The charges audaciously preferred against your Royal
Highness may be comprised under two heads—first, that
your Royal Highness improperly interposes your advice tot
the Queen on affairs of state; and, secondly, that your
Royal Highness is invariably present when her Majesty
grants audiences to her ministers. Upon seek 11111 ONO
points I will say a few words-
1. It is utterly incorrect to allege that your Repel Hier
ness is disentitled to give advice on sffsin of eggs to your
royal wife. It is true that your Royal Higholleoltsonot mu
as the political head of the mats ; but when Ibalheseavelem
tartly Belated your Royal Highness to be hue assort, you
became km heed by sacred right of marriage; and your
Royal Rislinem Is Wood, by that superior relation, to afford
all advise ma mielenee to her Majesty in executing the
arduous reeponilillissof royalty ; and fee her Majesty to
forego that help NEU be to deprive herself's( thernost in-
portant and impaelli cosasellor In her dominions I For
what object ma yew Royal Highness have in view but that
Ms beet intermlendllis British crown may deemed unima-
gined* yew sigal posterity ? Depend upon it, Bir, that
as gemeneed pine* et public polity can or ought to sever

$. 'jibs penile psalm el a female sovereign renders it
VW, doeseess and eligible that in all interviews with her
Midelore the Queen should enjoy the protective present* of
ye 'Royal Highness, and dm manly, open interference of
yew Royal Highness should be wisely considered as an
Ilibuissi seihreard against even the surmised exercise of
*Wit Yuma.
Is abe by that these Christian considerations will prove
Mendes and sustaining to your Royal Highness, I have the
Maass solo, your Royal Highness's obedient humble ear-
mint, Taman MeLoci.

Great excitement prevailed this morning among

sore days pest • amber of the lower class have been beard
to utter treats spinet the ern merchants sad bakers, ta-
iloring that if the stall of life berme say dearer they
would resort to violence. Yesterday annum es relyaftoraaoe, r
three o'clock, peeps of mouses, chiefly the 'wines.' la-
bourers oat of employ, were Arm& is the lower poet of
the sky, knows ea Westgate, essitass the high pellso if

afterwards a movement WY suds ONDIDIS the bake=
in that locality. The winders in amemmi inelener war
brakes and the bread carded ell TM mob NM kismaide
and the police force, headed by Sepodefibilltifl SW%
were concentrated in the West Onsinar. to lON
of all the efforts of the eatboritien ijeweert the
mob proceeded thrash the beck streets to a bsbm4dtepds

SO serious, at ones proceeded to the barracks, MOW Slispioll
by the 3rd Light Dragoons, and applied to Wesel Whits
for the assistance of his men. About a gamin of as bout
afterwards, about one hundred soldiers rode tbrisegb
the streets, and were booted by soverd of tbe
bystander. Oa arriving at the West Quarter they
were dispersed is various parts, every avenue being
guarded. It was th,n ascertained, however, that the
rioters bad proceeded to St. Thomas, a town smarted from
the city only by a bridge. Here it was found they bed
perpetrated a vast deal of mischief. One baker's shop wee
completely smashed, the bread being taken away sad the
fixtures destroyed. In one or two intern the bars
threw out their bread to the mob, who were thus applaud,
and proceeded as to ether shops. The dragoons were for
• moment unable to cheek the riot in this locality, in con-
sequence of not having received *Heist notification from a
county magistrate, St. Thomas being without the bounds
of the city. Mr. M. B. Ben, county magistrate, however,
wu quickly on the spot, sad a troop of the
soldiers accompanied him is porta of the rioters,

loges in the neighbourhood. At the former place, they
ransacked the bakers' shops; and tarried off the bread sad
other articles. At Eandaster they attacked the premium
of Mr. Tread, a wealthy farmer, took away a meaty of
articles, and helped themselves to a wage: of eider.
Twenty-five young men and boys were apprebeaded, sad
