DUBLIN CORN MARKET.—J.Ax., 13..,
There was a fair supply of home grain, but the de-
mand was slack and prices tending downwards. The
auctions of Wheat and Maize advertised for to-day

Flour was increasing; and as bakers' stocks are running
low -a slight concession in price would lead to large sales.

TILE DAY'S NEWS.

We lately noted,,,for the information of our
readers, that Mr.. Bowyer, M.P.,- the Pope's
advocate in the' House of Commons, had :been at
Rome paying his respects to His HOlineSs, and
had received the decoration of the holy order of
St. Gregory.. This gentlenian has just addressed
4. long letter to the Times, dated from " the
Palace of the Order of Malta, Rome," Which is,
meant- to do for the Pope :what M. Laguerron
niere did for the Emperor ;—the letter having
been written in immediate conference with the
Papal Government, in defence of its present
position, 'and in answer to the French Emperor
and the celebrated pamphlet. This manifesto,
however, is --- nothing more than a mere beg-
ging of the question. In Mr. Bowyer's own
words, "Time, place, and, supposed origin,
give to this paper an importance unde-
served by its . arguments." With reference
to the facts which by all but universal testimony
have been urged against the administration of
the Pope in his own dominions, and as to the
truth or falsehood, in explanation and justification
of which something might have been looked for
in this document, if any, such pleas had been in
the least degree available on ,his behalf, the writer
says nothing, or what amounts to nothing. As
the leading journal remarks -of this letter, " the
-4;4-I-man Government denies nothi explains
nothing, palliates nothing, regrets nothing." t
however, this defence is in itself lame, impotent,
and inconclusive, it is yet satisfactory,, inasmuch
as it fulfils the just demand that the Romish side
of the question should be heard fully, fairly, and
dispassionately, through a competent advocate of
their own choosing; while at the same time its
failure confirms and renders final and irreversible,
the opinion of all intelligent; people, in all coun-
tries, in favour of the judicious policy of the
pamphlet, and the still later Iniperial missive.
The reported return 'of Lord Cowley to Paris
a few days ago, it seems is incorrect ; but his
lordship is expected in that capital to-day. A
London contemporary asserts, with oracular con-
fidence—" We have to state distinctly that Lord

Cowley did not come to London on any misssion ;
and further, that he brought no propositions
from the Government of France." That he did
not come "on any mission," is an expression
clearly subject to some sort of modification ;
unless we are -to believe our Ambassador to the•
French Court, to be a more purposeless individual
than we had taken him for ; and since the writer
seems so well informed on the subject, he ought
to have told us whether, as Lord. Cowley is said to
have brought no propositions from the Govern-
ment of France,. ho returned equally innocent of
any propositions from the Government of Eng-
land. But this he does not pretend to assert,
although it is a point of greater anxiety to us
than the other. We must be kept clear of these
Italian complications, with which we have reason
to fear Lord John Russell is only too anxious to
intermeddle.

W© have had occasion, recently, to refer to
anticipated fiscal changes affecting the commerce
of France and England. A report was circulated,
however, that if ever these had been seriously
contemplated by the French Government, they
had subsequently been abandoned. But we are now
reassured by Lord Palmerston's morning organ,
that our highest expectations are about to be realised
in a way which, it is said, cannot fail to give the
liveliest satisfaction to the two nations ; and we

sincerely trust we may not again ho doomed to

disappointment.. By the new arrangement we
are told that " iron will be adnAitted into Vrano

on payment of to niti-deSteititififis% that French
vines will-be reqeived into EngWorr-the. saint

sembling, are among the probabilities which. hge
tended to produce this buoyant spirit on the
Paris Bourse, and which cannot fail to meet
with- sympathy on this side the Channel.
The Prussian Chambers, as we announced
yesterday, have been opened- by hie. Royal 1-ligly
ness the Prince Regent.. The Royal speech
makes- mention. of the• willingness- of Prussia_t°
take part in a European Congress on the Italia°
question. With reference to the desire. Do s
reform of the Federal Constitution, it sayscf
"Prussia will alWaYs consider herself the
natural representative of the effort far
creasing the strength of the, nation, and. effiefr
ciously promoting firmer interest in general!'
Interference with -the 'Constitutions of the sepa-
rate States is, however, to be confined within
strictly competent limits. Reference is "lade t°
recent, efforts to establish legitimate Constitution'
in various provices. "The Prussian army," 535.3
the speech, " will be also the Prussian preople i°
arms." .On the demand of Prussia, we observe,
the further consideration of the report to the
Diet on the fortification of the German coast 1s
postponed for a fortnight.
The day before yesterday, the Lord High
Chancellor of England did " The Inns of Court
Volunteer Rifle Corps " the honour of
personally
t:
administering, to: -them- .the oath.
of allegiance
and availed himielf of the opportunity o
addressing the volunteers. Our def..nces,'
he said, ;"have not kept pace with the
increased facilities for- effecting a lauding on our sa-
cred soil,—hence the danger of panic at home, and
of holding out a teraptation abroad." His LordshiP
made allusion to the fact of having. himself,
in his early youth been a volunteer soldier, and
regretted that the Government of that daY
had allowed the then Volunteer Corps to be ills"
banded on the proclamation of peace ; and he
added that, "as the movement does-not proceed
from any momentary impulse, or temporary cause'
let it he permanent." " Every patriotic spirit iitasi

FROM the authorised disclaimer which has bee°
given, we supPbse we are not to infer that the
proposals for reform elaborately conveyed in the
present number, of The Constitutional Press
Magazine emanate from the heads of the C°°.
servative party, or that the latter are pledge°l
in any sense to its details. • Indeed, though
,
probably put forth by a very eminent member 01
that body, they bear evident marks of priv3te
authorship, and of mere personal responsibiliis.
But whatever be the nature of their author-0'
or the amount of their' ofEcial authority, tlieF t°3
none the less worthy of the attention of ail Ich°
desire to, arrive at a satisfactory solution of 4
vexed question unblinded by interest or• passi°ll.
This well weighed. argument is in any ease
a valuable contribution to the literature °c

reform, and its publication at this. time 1°
especially seasonable as tending to, the formation
of fixed views upon the. sutieet. We have
reason to thank both the author,, and the editor
of this very valuable and extraordinarily cheap
periodical, thr one attempt to, dissipate the cleuds
of false philosophy, perplexed partisanship, and
venturesome ignorance, which externally and
internally intercept public opinion at a doubtful,
though momentous, crisis. Every obscure
eb.itterer thinks himself a heaven-born reformer,
and pronounces sentence upon-each particular ei
our public system and policy. No question
dealt with in so off-hand a manner as this °net
which demands in its treatment a knowledge d
history, a solid comprehension of political truth'
and an amount of foresight and balanced cau'
tion, which education and experience together
