LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1864.

The disgraceful riots at Belfast turn all eyes to
Dublin Castle. We wait to see what will Le done
by Lord CARLISLE. According to the last accounts
received by telegraph from the scene of these atro-
cious riots, there was a talk about calling out the
military. The soldiery were eready under arms,
the only uncertainty being whether they would
actually be called out. It is of course an extreme
proceeding this calling cut of the military, a ',aro•
ceeding wisely resorted to only under the, direst
emergency, and when everything else has been
done towards the suppression of street tumults, with
a view to the effectual restoration of order among
an insurgent population. Nevertheless, what fur-
Veer provocation has been needed dawn at Bel-
fait towards the justification of the authorities
there in resorting at length to that last and ex-
tremest proceeding of all—the calling out of the
military ? The brutalities of the Orangemen there
have certainly been sufficiently various and suffi-
ciently destructive not only to justify, but to neces-
sitate the summoning, by the civil authorities, to
their assistance in restoring quietude to Belfast and
its vicinity, the niilltnry expreetily stationed there
to that very end in the immediate neighbourhood.
The rioting commenced, it will be remembered only
too distinctly, several days back, with one of those
incidents expressive of savage stupidity on the
part of a fanatical population—the burning of the
effigy of a great mac as a sort of oounter demon-
stration to a display elsewhere of grateful admira-
tion towards him on the part of his admirers. In this
particular instance, down at Belfast, the savage
stupidity of the Orangemen of that red-hot Orange
locality was indicated, not by the burning of the
effigy of A Great Man, but by the burn-
ing of the effigy of The '.greatest Man Ire-
land has ever prodni.ed. The contrast presented
to view by those two demonstrations—the one at
Lublin and the one at Belfast—is certainly, to say
the least of it, very significant. Yonder, in the Irish
capital, it was, as a demonstration, the verygrandest
that has ever taken place there in that land of de-
monstrations, in that metropolis of demonstrations.
It was the vastest, the most unanimous, the most
,orderly from
beginning to end. The occasion was—
surely, surely, to speak within the mark !—a most
reasonable occasion. It was convened, this grand
assemblage of Irishmen, for the
purpose of taking
part in, or of witnessing, the ceremonious lay ing of
the foundation stone of A National Monument, indi-
cative in enduring marble and granite, of Ireland's
Love, Admiration, and Gratitude to the memory of
DANIEL O'CONNELL, The Liberator! That mere
distinctive title of his is indicative of what
ianallov7ing reaeons there are, in very truth,

is his rcgard, for the cherishing of his

Jr.:Amory, perennially, through these and through
• after times, by his compatriots, with all that Love

and Gratitude and Admiration.

The Liberator!

Assoredi one of the noblest, purest, loftiest, most
enviable titles man ever won, And one, moreover,

that is applied in this instance of O'CONNELL in
no spirit of hyperbole. His title, it is, by right
as one pure and simple in its exact truthful-
ness. For if ever man was, in the fullest
meaning of the word, a " Liberator" it was
DANIEL O'CONNELL it was " THE Liberator." To
him, under Heaven, many millions of the loyal
subjects of the Crown not alone in Ireland, but
throughout the whole of the British Empire, owe
their social, political, and religions liberation—owe
it all, under Heaven, directly and individually to
him, to his piercing eloquence, to his indomitable
determination, to his all mastering genius as the
last and the greatest of the Tribunes of the People.
Mistakes he made, errors he was guilty of, his
tongue in Oratory was too often loading the air 1
with words of foul and vclgir abuse, the later
years of his life were, to our thinking, nothing
less than wilfully and most idly wasted in pursuit
of an unattainable chimera. Yet, granting that all
this may be said thus as against him, as in deprecia-
tion of his memorable career and his resplendent
powers, he was A Liberator —he was The
Liberator of many millions of his fellow-men—
of the vast majority of his own fellow-country-
men and of co-religionists of theirs in all quarters
of the globe, otherwise to express it, in all parts of
the British dominions. And he was their Liberator
in the fullest meaning of the word—their Liberator
corporeally, mentally, and spiritually—their Libe-
rator in Body, and Soul, and latellect. If any
one has failed yet fully to realise what DANIEL
O'CONNELL really was, and what he actually did,
entitling him to what no one can now rob
him of, this glorious title of Liberator—
" The LIBERATOR"—Iet them turn to whatever
has been written or spoken of him since the date of
his death by the greatest Liberal and the greatest
among the lay co-religionists of The Liberator in
Christendom, CHARLES,
.the Count de MONTALEM•
BERT. Above all, let them turn to that noblest
funeral oration that has been uttered since the
imperial lips of BOSSIIET were closed in death,
the funeral oration pronounced upon O'CONNELL
by the Dominican monk LACORDAIRE.

Eighteen years have now elapsed since, in
the autumn of 1847, DANIEL O'CONNELL, the Libe-
rator, then on his way to Rome, breathed his last at
Genoa. And it is only after these eighteen years
have passed by that the foundation stone of a
national monument in his honour is formally laid
in the capital of Ireland by the hands of the chief
magistrate of the city of Dublin, in the presence of
a vast number of the Liberator's compatriots.
Surely a reasonable proceeding ! Surely a pro■
ceeding—after these eighteen years have elapsed
—in no way precipitate ! Surely a simple act
of gratitude, of justice, of common decency,
and cf common sense. Yet it was as a counter-
demonstration to this display of national gratitude
and right feeling towards the memory of O'CON-
NELL among a race whom he has so largely bene-
fited, that the Orangemen of Belfast assembled for
the purpose of indulging themselves in what we
have already designated, one of those pieces of
savage stupidity, the burning of the effigy of a
great man. In this instance, as already re-
marked, the effigy of the greatest man Ire.
land ever produced. And now we are witnessing
the jast fitting result of this same piece of most
savage stupidity—namely, the delivering up of Bel•
fast for several days and nights in succession into
the hands of rioters armed with stones and brick-
bats and bludgeons. The latest achievements of
these rioters being the attacking and sacking of a
nunnery ! If no lives have yet been lost in the place
delivered up now for a considerable interval to these
disgraceful proceedings, lives, there, have bean seri-
ously endangered, a girl has been maimed, a man
has been shot in the leg, the whole city and the sur-
rounding neighbourhood have been thrown into
profound consternation. And it is now, in this dire

extremity, that we turn with some curiosity to note
what will be the course pursued yonder, at Bel-
fast, with a view to the restoration of order,
and the vindication of the lary by the amiable
Lord Lieutenant.

It was not likely that the Mayor and citizens
of Cork wouid miss so favourable an opportuni+.s.
of enforcing their wishes upon Ministers sthe
occasion presented by the grand banqui,c given to
the Lords of the Admiralty and th' officers of the
Channel Fieet, at Cork, in thr, beginning of the
week. The dignitaries wh-J visited them on this
occasion were, too, the very members of the Govern-
ment whose sympat Idea the good folks of Cork were
most anxious to enlist in the cause of their harbour
and its prApective dockyard. The Lords of the
Admiralty are now on a tour of inspection, and
nor orally included the much-talked of harbour of
Queenstown in their survey. The Mayor and
citizens of Cork at once availed themselves of the
opportunity to show Irish hospitality in full splen-
dour, and to impress upon these flying visitors the
advantages which were offered by their harbour for
the construction of a dock. The Mayor of Cork,
Mr. MAGUIRE, who presided at the banquet, has
lately been often before the public in reference to
a matter connected with this very harbour—the
obnoxious Daunt's Rock, which occasioned
the total wreck of a goodly vessel last
summer. Very recently he has been striving
to impress upon the authorities tha necessity
of doing something to lessen the dangers which
this obstacle presents to naval traffic before the
winter months set in, though as yet his remon-
taranues Lave been without effect. At this we need
not wonder, for any one official board or body is
difficult to move, but when it is necessary to influ-
ence three to joint action the case is almost hopeless,
especially when it is not very clear whose duty it
is to take the first step. This subject was not, how-
ever, touched upon the other evening; Mr. MA-
GUIRE, and others interested in the matter, probably
thinking that if the Government took up the mat-
ter of the dockyard in earnest Daunt's Rock would
not long be suffered to bar the passage way.
One topic there was which, though uncon-
nected with nautical matters, was naturally
referred to in the course of the evening. The de-
parture of the Earl of CARLISLE, and his resigna-
tion of the Viceregal dignity, could hardly have been
passed over without soma tribute to the public
character and private excellence of that deservedly-
respected nobleman. On all sides, sincere respect
and a conviction of his earnest desire to promote
the welfare of the country, were expressed. , Lord
FERMOY, in speaking of him, said that whatever
were their political sentiments, they all felt that
wherever Lord CARLISLE was there Ireland and the
Irish would have a friend. There are few English
statesmen, we should hope, who, in occupying such
a position, would fall into the error of identifying
themselves with any sect or party, but the Earl of
CARLISLE has showh an unusual degree of tact and
courtesy, and has contrived to conciliate all parties
by irritating the prejudices of none. We trust that
when his place is filled his successor may be as
wisely selected, but whether it need be filled at all
es question that may very well present itself to
the public. If the office were of any real advan•
tage to either country, £20,000 a year should not
weigh in the balance against national good, but
wise men have long asked where the national
gbod lies, and whether Ireland at lcAtt would not

benefit far more by a judicious outlay of that sum
annually on her public works and similar under-
takings. !It would certainly go a long way towards
the construction of the naval dockyard, about
which the good citizens of Cork expressed
themselves so anxiously. Lord FERMOY ob•
served, that he considered that the task of
advocating the employment of their noble
harbour in so useful a manner, had been greatly
lightened by the report of the Parliamentary com-
mittee, which had recommended, in the plainest and
strongest terms, the establishment of a dockyard at
Queenstown. After that decision being arrived at
by the committee, which has so fully entered into
the whole question of our dockyard accommodation,
it is, to say the least of it, very unlikely that the
House of Commons would object to the necessary
rate. Those who know anything of the subject
would not, indeed, be likely to cavil at the selection
of a spot so admirably adapted by nature for the
purpose, while all must admit the desirability of
the establishment of a dock somewhere in the
south of Ireland. Mr. MAGUIRE, in giving
a cordial Hibernian welcome to his dis-
tinguished guests, observed that they could
not fail when thus on the spot to appreciate
their noble harbour. "It was," he said, " easy of
access—it was one of the best, if not the best,
places of shelter for the fleet ; and there were times
when 500 vessels, armed and unarmed, found
anchorage within Cork harbour and the tributaries
which enlarged its extent." Of course it was natural
that on such an occasion a little discontent should
be expressed, and the Government were reminded
that while a million of money had been laid out in
the sister countries not a shilling had reached Cork
harbour. In answer to this the First Lord of the
Admiralty took occasion to remind his Irish friends
that the prosperity of a locality depended on itself, and
was usual:y the reward of its own enterprise or exer-
tions. Portsmouth, despite Government aid, has never
rivalled Liverpool, where there are no public docks.
The Clyde, too, bore evidence of the same character,
and the noble duke, therefore, warned his hearers
not to hope too much from the erection of Go-
vernment docks in their harbour. These obser-
vations were just and prudent, and were not out
of place when addressed to his sanguine and en-
thusiastic audience, who probably partook of the
Irishman's favourite faculty of making theoretical
fortunes', But, however wise in tempering the
eagerness of the citizens of Cork, the Duke of
SOMERSET'S remarks do not in the least affect the
general bearing of the question. It is greatly to be
desired, indeed, that the trade of Cork may flourish
and hat Irishmen derive full profit and advantage
from the construction of the Docks; but, after all,
it is a matter of Imperial rather than of local inte-
rest, and whether or not it fulfils the expectations
formed of it on land, it will still be admirably
adapted for the advantage of our ships. It is well
not to be too careful in regard to expense in mate
ters of great national importance which may be
expected to endure through many generations ;
but this is one of those cases in w tich no artificial
expense will atone for the deficiencies of nature,
and it is surely the heigh.t of folly to lavish the
public money in trying to overcome difficulties
when such harbours as Milford Haven and Queens.
town lie on our own shores.

The trial which took place at Liverpool on
Thursday, relative to the Foreign Eniistment Aet,
exhibits the conduct of our Government in a most
unsatisfactory light. There is nothing that wins
admiration and commands respect more than con-
sistency; bat, on the other hand, there is nothing
that a-lienates confidence and draws down censure
more than uncertain and unfair line of action. The
manner in which the Ministers have acted in respect
to the various questions that have arisen regarding
the American contest has been quite unprecedented.
From the outset of the war ',-hey have been unjust
in the extreme to all 'persons nearly or remotely
connected with the cause of the Confederates, while
on the other side their prejudices and partialities
have been d'.ereloped in favour of the Federals. It
is a most undignified position for a great country
t° came, thus to sanction such an unworthy
.iourse; but it is still worse to reflect upon that
English subjects shoutd be treated with incon-
sistency, and their rights made subservient to the
fantasias of the authorities who for the time being
mismanage the affairs of the State. Such a course
of proceeding is a perfect mockery of justice, and
cannot but redound to the discredit of all concerned
in the transactions. All that the Attorney-General
for the County Palatine deposed on behalf of the
Crown, might with great force have been applied
to the question relating to the Federal Enlistments
in Ireland, of which no notice is taken, or at least
only sufficient to disarm criticism. When we are
told that the charge is preferred against the pri-
soner by her MAJESTY'S Government from a sense
of duty, because he had been guilty of a trans-
gression of the law, common sense may well inquire
how it is that the same principle does not
actuate and encourage them to arrest illegal
courses towards the other belligerents engaged
in the contest across the Atlantic. One sentence
of the attorney's is a positive exposition of the pre-
sent state of the case as relates to our position in
respect to American dealings with our subjects.
" No one in the country could be ignorant of the
difficulties which were likely to arise if the Govern-
ment did not hold the scale of neutrality with per-
fect equality." This is perfectly true, But what
can be more clear than that they have not thus ful-
filled their duty, and great difficulties haves arisen
in consequence. It is not in a court of law that
such discrepancies can be taken hold of; because
there it is only possible for the judge and jury to
deal with the case immediately under supervision ;
but those who look on and scan the affair from a
distance must be deeply sensible of the egregious
errors of the prosecutors on behalf of the Crown,
and painfully convinced that in this affair the
country reaps no honour, and the subjects of the
realm are imposed on, Is it the way to impress other
States with an impartiality thus to curry favour
with one party in the affray, and to heap insults on
the other. In how many prosecutions regarding
the Confederates have we now been engaged, and
who can point to one prominent case in which the
Crown has appeared against the Federals ? Is it
not monstrous to reflect upon that the havoc,
wrought by the agents of the North is depopulating
a neighbouring country under the dominion of the
self-same Crown whose name appears in petty cases
like that of Liverpool, and yet that no steps are
taken of a nature that will stop the sacrifice of life
and arrest the flagrant course pursued. Wo are
told, indeed, that it is difficult to find out eaactly
wlaat is being done. There are none so blind as
those who will not see, nor so deaf as them who will
not hear, and this must account for the circumstance
that it is impossible to obtain that knowledge in
Ireland which seems to come as a matter of course
in England. It is an evil of the apathy of Perlia•
meat that the Government think they can do as
they like, and proceed from bad to worse in their
conduct in respect to American affairs. No fear of
public opinion appears to deter them in their in-
fatuated and mischievous course ; they follow the
bent of their own inclinations, quite impervious to
criticism and indifferent to reason, It is a sort of
satisfaction, at any rate, to protest against such in-

consistency, and exhibit the policy of Ministers in
its true light. The utmost proved against the chief
prisoner at the trial the other day was not a tenth
part so condemnatory as the course constantly pur-
sued by the Federal agents in Ireland, and yet one
is to suffer the penalty of the law, while the rest are
to go unmolested on their way. It is a new era
in English history altogether that we are entering
upon under the auspices of this Liberal Ministry,
who came in to give us reform at home and inaugus
rate a better state of things abroad. We are fast
sinking to the level of those continental States
where justice is subservient to expediency, and
where at any convenient period a man may be found
guilty or left alone as occasion prompts. It is no-
torious that the conduct pursued by the agents of
the North to those unfortunate and infatuated men
who are persuaded to go with them is at the same
time cruel, unjust, and a violation of the law of
nations. In old days of our history, when our states-
men burned with the desire of maintaining
the honour of their country, rather than tole-
rate such insults and injuries with quiescence
they would have declared war on the offenders.
Surely if ever war is sanctioned it is when taken up
in defence of the rights of the subject that are in-
fringed. In this case their lives are at stake, for
in many instances these unscrupulous agents lead
on their dupes until recall is too late and no retrao-
tation is possible, and then the most desperate mea-
sures are resorted to. This is called maintaining a
strict neutrality, but those who prefer truth above
everything will call it a gross delusion and a mockery
of impartiality. It is an insult to our common
sense to prosecute at all. Why not leave the Con-
federate agents alone ? If they are transgressing
in some degree our laws, why should they be held
up to opprobrium when the men who should direct
the laws are so indifferent to the dictates of truth
and justice. Honour and honesty alike demand that
the same measure be meted out to both the
belligerent parties in America, and if one is to be
left unaided, then the other should also be deprived
of our assistance. It is a violation of the first
principles of justice, it is an attempt to change the
spirit of our Constitution, and it is a degradation to
the country in the eyes of foreign nations for her
MAJESTY'S Government to act in the way they are
doing. It is time, indeed, the American war was
over for many reasons, and not the, least of these is
that the honour of Englane...xs at stake, through the
prejudices of her Wander, in persisting and favour-
ing one side,
and discountenancing the other.

lute for three hundred years. But in 1817 a man named
Thornton was accused of having asscissinated a young girl,
tried, and acquitted. The victim's brother, returning soon
afterwards from a long voyage, took proceedings for a new
trial. The accused then offered to exculpate himself by
single combat, as the statute authorised, and the judees
were constrained to recognise this mode of defence. The
combat was on the point of taking place when the appel-
lant reflecting that if he was conquered he would be put to
death, and that his defeat was probable, owing to the
strength and vigour of his opponent, declared that he
abandoned his appeal. It was in consequence of this sin-
gular transaction that Parliament, in 1819, abolished this
rag of the feudal law.

The Antediluvian History and Narrative of the
Flood. By the Rev. E. D, Rendell, of Preston,
1 vol., pp. 31. Second Edition. F. Pitman,

Setting out with the comfortable assurance that
the general acceptation of Scripture History is fal-
lacious Mr. Rendell has very considerately bestowed
upon us a correct interpretation of the sacred narra-
tive. He does not, however, give us any ground for
believing in his individual infallibility. Mr. Ren-
dell is evidently looking forward to a new reforma-
tion, for example, he tells us—" Amidst those con-
troversies of the Establishment, Nonconformists
have been advancing in liberality and learning; but
the Roman Church, which never changes, has been
looking en with rejoicing, and congratulating her-
self that she has the ability to settle all such mat-
ters by means of her authority—that is, to silence
inquiry without explanatim, and punish doubt
with the fears of anathema. Nevertheless, the
troubles to which we have adverted have more or
less infested every branch of the Church, nor are
they yet allayed; quietude is not to be mistaken for
peace—the fermentations are still going—purifica-
tion will follow. Those difficulties are in the hands
of a wise Providence, and they may be viewed as
storms which bend to clear the atmosphere, and open
out a bluer sky and a brighter sunshine. We think
there can be no doubt in the minds of those who ca
take note of the signs of the times, that there are
some new and beneficent influences at work, de-
signed to bring about some new perceptions con-
cerning the Word, and thus to enable the Church
to ground its teachings upon a firmer and more in-
tellectual basis than any it has previously enjoyed.'
Ia this "more iutellectual" development, we pre-
sume that the Rev. Mr. Rendell will take his place
by the side of Bishop Colenso.

LUTTRELL OF ARRAN. By Charles Lever,
No. IX.—The sudden friendship which springs
up between our old friend Grenfell, the
practical, selfish man of the world, and young
Adolphus Ladarelle, the banker's ion, and would.
be man of society, is well sketched in the present
number. Each endeavours to work out his own plats by
the aid or at to g expense of the other. Young Ladarelle,
in fear that old Sir Within Ward's will marry his ward,
and probably cut him out of the Dabradern estate, seeks
advice and assistance from the retired retailer of fish-sauce,
who in his turn, to serve his own ends, proposes to carry off
the young lady, and unconsciously suggests employing one
of her own relatives to perform that friendly office. Their
plans are, however, frustrated for a time by an accident
which happens to Kate while riding, and which threatens
her life. There can be no doubt now of Sir Within Wardle's
affection for her, which is well described in the interview
between the old diplomatist and the physician, when the
feelings of nature burst through the trammels of etiquette.
Kate, however, will not die at this early stage of the story :
too much hinges upon her fate for such a contingency to
be probable.
THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW, No. 2.
—The second chapter of the narrative of Lee's
second year of campaigns in defence of Richmond,
chronicles the events of the first and second days
of Gettysburg, and gives a useful resume of the

state of affairs. It is followed by an article on that old
standing grievance, Army Prizo Money, which opens by
saying, very truly, that " Prize money is a subject on which
justice has long been denied to the army." The writer ex.
presses a hope that the report of the Commission lately

inquiring into this matter may be accepted as an augury
of better times. We tzuet so, for reform is much needed. The
average period of distribution following the most important
captures of the last 60 years has been five years and a half,
while nine or ten years' delay is by no means uncommon,
and in one instance—that of Burmah—eleven years elapsed.
An article on "The Navy as it is" is worth reading. It
remarks upon the marvellous changes which have taken
place of late years, since steam and the screw propeller have
changed the face of the navy. In the old days ships of war
were apparently, as the author says, designed to be boxes of
guns. One architect went so far as to design a ship of
war to carry 176 guns, with a tonnage under 3,000 ; but
the largest ships actually built and in use were 120 gun
three-deckers of 2,600 tons. Another article, on a naval
matter, " The English and French Dockyard System" has
some sensible observations on our management of affairs.
It is remarked that the unsatisfactory condition of the
English dockyards is due to "the absence of causes of
sufficieut power to demand remodelling." This is rather
an obscure way of stating the case, but the severity of
some of the censures is not altogether misplaced. There
are other papers on matters connected with the two
services, and the number, though not equal to the first,
is of a fair degree of merit.
QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF THE INDEPENDENT
ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS, MANCHESTER UNITY,
Edited by Charles Hardwick.— This serial con-
tains many subjects of interest, and, although it is
professedly for a special class of readers, it will be found
that it contains much to attract and entertain the general
community. There is a great variety in its contents, and
the most diverse tastes can be pleased in its pages. Great
care is taken to meet all the requirements of the day by the
publication of scientific and learned papers, as well as by
those of a lighter style. There are some original venes by
Eliza Cook, a fact which speaks for itself of the style of
poetry which is met with in this quarterly. On the whole,
there is every reason to :expect that a continued success
will attend this magazine.

THE ST. GEORGE'S MAGAZINE, No. 1. Hall and
Co.—The flrbt number of a new magazine has some
elaim upon public attention, and also upon critical
forbearance. The opening part of the St. George's does
not impress us very favourably, but it is got up in gold
style, at the favourite price of a shilling, and may pro-
bably -and admirers, for it partakes largely of that sensa-
tion element which is now so popular.
THE ECLECTIC.-7he Eclectic has some readable
papers on matters of general interest among several
devoted to theological and controversial topics.
The most interesting is a criticism giving copious extracts
from the poems of Lord Houghton.
THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—We have here the
usual plentiful allowance of tales, sketches, and
lively papers, " A Dark Story" is tragical enough
for the lovers of the horrible, while "Earnest" is a leat from
t 13,9 narrative of the American War which doubtless carries
with is tragedy, romance, and farce by the hundred, could
we know all its secrets. "Harry (YByrne" is continued in
its usual style.

THE ALEXANDRA MAGAZINE.—This little periodi-
cal devotee itself to the interests of womankind, and
to counteract some of the established
failings and dettclentac.
NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL enters upon the
world of politics in discussing the disappoint-
ments and achievements of the session. It has besides
its customary information on all matters connected with
patents and patentees.

THE Boy's OWN MAGAZINE. THE BOY'S
MONTHLY MAGAZINE.--?1r, Beaton has long been
an established purveyor for this class of readers,
and these two little serials staunchly keep up his reputa-
tion by their skill in adapting themselves to the taste of
their juvenile readers. They aro respectively sixpence
and twopence, ao that different classes can obtain them.
