LADY BLESSINGToN'S NEW WORK.—The
strong interest and curiosity excited by the announcement
of this work, entitled " The Idler in Italy," have been
fully justified by the nature of its contents, which are as
piquant and pleasant in their sketches of personal charac-
ter as they are brilliant and spirited in their descriptive
details. Indeed it 13 difficult to conceive any thing more
attractive in its way than the glimpse thus afforded us or
the daily life in Italy of so accomplished art " Idler" as
Lady Blessineton, especially when it is borne in mind that,
at the period referred to in this work, her Ladyship's
Palazzo was the resort of all that was brilliant and distin-
guished in both English and Italian society.
The " United Service Journal.' continues its
highly useful and entertaining career with undiminished
assiduity, and the Number for the present month will be
found to be quite as interesting to non-professional persons
as the most popular of its Contemporaries. Sir Gren-
ville Temple continues his " Sketch of the Campaign of
Kostantineh in 1837." The paper on " Nautical Inven-
tions" comprises a most delightful account of Horology in
its progress from the earliest times to the latest improve-
ments, which have brought the art to the nearest pos-
sible state of perfection. " A Letter from Canada" is
from a highly intelligent officer on duty in that country,
and is lively and amusing. " Roman Roads in Great
Britain" gives an account of the operations of the Stu-
dents of the Royal College at Sandhiirst, in the arming
of 1837. Captain Basil Hall's article on " Civil Engi-
neering in America" contains some exceedingly interest.
trig statements nn steatn-navigation, rafts, railroads, canal
travelling, wooden bridges, &c. Captain Costello's " Re-
collections of the Campaign in Spain" increase in amuse-
ment, and the " Decline of the Turkish Empire" is
brought down tcs the present period. "The Report on the
Sickness, and Mortality of Troops in the West Indies,"
with its appalling statements and exposures, deserves at-
tention in the proper quarters. Lieut. 11411 gives dia-
grams of his newly-invented diagonal paddle wheels, with
illuttrations, and the usual departments of the Journal are
all filled up with interestinr, and instructive matter.

LONDON :
TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1839,

In the House of Lords the Earl of MINT() assured
the House that he had made inquiries into the correct-
ness of those returns concerning the dock-yards and
stores which the Earl of HARDWICKE impugned in the
debate on the Navy, and he was satisfied of their com-
plete accuracy. The Earl of HARDWICKE, he said,
must have been deceived.

Lord FORTESCUE (EBRINGTON) took the opportunity
of addressing a few observations to the Peers in vindi-
cation of his own opinions and conduct. He com-
plained, and with justice, that Lord LYNDHURST had
attacked him in his absence, and bad not taken
the, trouble to ascertain whether the report of his
speech were correct or not. The Noble Lord
showed, by a reference to his conduct, that he
had - always promoted obedience to the laws,
and was not near so great an enemy to the Irish
Church as had been supposed. He actually paid tithes
for his property in Ireland, when doing so was very un-
popular. Besides vindicating himself from these inju-
rious surmises, the.Nohle Lord explained in what sense
he had used the words reported, and declared that he
should go to Iretand, the Marquis WELLESLEY,
whose language he borrowed, to administer the law, and'
not to alter it. On the whole the Noble Lord made a
+eeling and creditable speech, calculated to make a fa-
vourable impression on the Peers and on the country.
Lord LYNDHURST, a little ashamed, we hope, for
his haste and want of courtesy, was not at a
loss for an excuse—what lawyer ever was ?—and
he made it out that the danger to Ireland from
the Noble Lord's incipient appointment was so great
and pressing that he thought he might arrest
the danger by stopping the appointment ; that his
business was with the Ministry and not with the Noble
Lord, and therefore he had spoken without troubling
himself whether the Noble Lord were peesent, and
without ascertaining whether the Noble Lord acknow-
ledged the report on which Lord LYNDHURST founded
all his observations. As if the Noble Lord were an
habitual writer in the Tinter, the phrase Ministerial
prints" came pat to his mouth, as he spoke of their state-
ments, which confirmed his views that Lord FORTES-
CUE is not a friend to the Irish Church. He con-
cluded by saying that he presumed that would be the
last of the business.

Viscount MELBOURNE praised Lord FORTESCUE, and
declared that he was every way a proper person to re-
ceive the appointment, and . that he was by no means'
such an enemy to the Irish Church as the Ministerial
prints had described him to be, which said prints the
Noble Viscount will not recognise, and declared that he
cannot consider them of a friendly nature, or likely to
give the Government efficient support.
The Duke of WELLINGTON made a few observa-
tions, chiefly directed to.enforcing on Ministers the pro-
priety of supporting the Church of Ireland, which, he
said, had been the cherished object of our policy for
many hundred years. We regretted to observe that
the Noble Duke has not grown younger for his late
attack ; and the advice which the Times lately tendered
to Lord HOLLAND, touching " Gil Blas," which comes
appropriately from a friend, should be tendered to his
Grace.
Lord BROUGHAM made a short but eloquent speech,
highly complimentary to his friend Lord FORTESCUE.

for two hours with a trumpery little personal
dispute between Lord ASHLEY and one of the Factory
Inspectors. Lord ASHLEY was supposed, in an exami-
nation of some witnesses before the Combination Com-
mittee, to throw some aspersions on the character of
Mr. STUART, the Inspector, who, in his report, de-
fended himself, and attacked the Noble Lord, Lord
GRANVILLE SOMERSET, and Mr. O'CONNELL. His
Report was presented to the House by
Lord
i JOHN
RUSSELL, and by the House ordered to be printed,
Of the printed Report Lord ASHLEY complained.
Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that Mr. STUART had used
some phrases which he would have advised him to omit.
With some observations from Lord G. SOMERSET, Mr.
O'CONNELL, Mr. GOULBURN, and Mr. Fox MAULS,
the trivial affair,
as Mr. O'CONNELL properly called it,
was suffered to drop into oblivion, notwithstanding the
efforts of some werkly and daily papers to make it a
matter of magnificent importance.
On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply
on the Navy Estimates, Mr. HUME complained justly
of the non-diminution o 1 the dead weight, and of the
increasing expenditure of the country. . u ..e moved that
it was expedient to have an account of the expenditure
and income, before voting the supplies. Captain Bo',
nEtto made a reasonably long speech in favour of aug-
menting the military power, in behalf of the Marines,
and against Whig economy, particularly on the score
of reducing pensions. Mr. G. BERKELEY, being*
, in the
Line, disputed the praise the Gallant Captain had be-
stowed on the Marines. Capt. PECHELL agreed with
Capt. BOLDER°. Mr. C. Wool) explained, that the
Marines had many advantages, and the object of the
Order in Council, of which Capt. BOLDER() complained,
was to reduce them to a level with the seamen. Sir
HENRY HaaraNdE and Lord Howtcx gave each his
own view on the subject of soldiers' pension=. ; the
former blaming the Whigs, and the latter defending

attedmt,bfeormbaarivninegs. reduced the pensions of the soldiers

Mr. BERKELEY (Bristol) explained that his brother,
Capt. BERKELEY, left the Admiralty because hecould not
procure sufficient attention to the manning of our ships,
and quoted several instances to prove that this important
subject has been neglected by all the successive Admiral-
ties since the battle of the Nile. Sir THOMAS TROIA'-
BRIDGE defended the Admiralty, and said Captain
BERKELEY . would regret leaving it. Probably he
already does ; but it is a pity that such a rare instance
of an approach to patriotism should pine with regret.
After some desultory remarks, including some from Mr.
T. ATTWOOD against Russia, Mr. HUME declined to
press his amendment to a dirison, and the House went into
a Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates.
Mr. C. WOOD then entered into an elaborate vin-
dication of the Admiralty from the attacks made on it
during the last six months, and spoke in very severe
terms of those who, knowing well the state of our Navy,
bad been guilty of wilful misrepresentations. The Hon.
Gentleman's statement,which was profusely complimented
by Sir E. CODRINGTON and Sir G. CLERK, the only
persons who spoke after him, occupied the whole even
ing ; and immediately he had finished, Sir EDWARD
CODRINGTON moved the adjournment of the question.
The House accordingly resumed, and the Committee
is to sit again on Wednesday.

From the proceedings in the House of Lords
last night, we infer that the Tory Lords shrink
from the task of saving - the Church of Ireland.
In spike of the solemn assurance of the Standard
and the Oxford Herald, that the appointment of
Lord FORTESCUE is the question on which the
Whigs can he put out, the Tory Lords, though
it was again discussed last night, gave no notice of
any intention to move an address to her MAJESTY.
On the contrary, they seemed rather satisfied by
Lord EBRINGTON'S explanation, and evidently
mean to acquiesce in his appointment. Three days
ago they denounced it as a violation of all decency,
as an open attack on the Protestant Church,
and as dangerous to the Monarchy. Last night
they were only desirous to hear an explanation of
the Noble Lord's policy, and of the policy of Mini-
sters. They know better than to commit themselves
by an address to the Crown to rescind Lord EB-
RINGTON'S appointment, with a view to maintain
entire the Church of Ireland. Such a scandalous
political iniquity as that Church, would destroy any
faction or any party that undertook its defence.
Why, the whole power of Britain has been unequal
to preserve it in all its original greatness. " For hun-
dreds of years," said the Duke of WELLINGTON,
" it had been the policy of England to maintain and
support that Church," and for the same length of
time have the Catholics continually increased in
power and number and the influence of the Church
over the population of Ireland has declined. For
the same length of time have feuds, disturbances,
and cruel discord prevailed throughout Ireland,
which has been the plague spot of the empire. In
spite of the exertions of the British nation,theChurch
has not been preserved. First of all, the tithe of agist-
ment was taken from it; then the payment of its
revenues was universally resisted, till the Legislature,
for peace sake, after numerous reductions had been
previously made, cut down its revenue last Session
one-fourth. Several of its Bishoprics had been pre-
viously abolished, and many of its Rectories require
only one vigorous touch of a real and bold Reforming
Ministry to be for ever annihilated. Decay, gra-
dual but certain decay, has been its lot in past time;
and the Tory Lords, though they cleave to the `•et
erect but tottering Church of England, are too pru-
dent to risk reputation and political power in order
to rescue the Irish Church from its certain doom. Such
chivalrous devotion to the only true Church on earth,
lofty as arc their professions, they leave to the writers
in high Tory Journals,, who have nothing to lose,
and may sell a few papers by an ultra zeal which
leads them into no danger. No, no ; the Tories,
equally cowardly and bullying, will be satisfied
with having scolded Lord FORTESCUE virulently,
and will have neither the courage nor the consis-
tency to carry out their principle to its just con-
elusion. They will not interfere with her MA-
JESTY'S prerogative in order to save the immacu-
late Church of Ireland. Lord FORTESCUE, her
open and avowed foe as she now exists, is con-
sidered by'the Prime Minister to be a very fit and.
proper person 'to be placed at the head of the
Irish Church. Woe to the Irish Church T Even
Lord ROD EN Will not move an address to save her.

The second reading of Mr. GILLON'S Bill for
altering the mode of licensing public houses in
Scotland, stands for to-morrow. We know the
perseverance with which the Hon. Gentleman pur-
sues his objects, and therefore we take it for granted
that, notwithstanding his former defeats, he will
persist in urging on this ill-advised measure until it
receives,- for the third time, the formal sentence of
condemnation, which it so well deserves, from an
adverse majority of the House of Commons.
There are many grave objections to the Bill, but
we are free to confess that were there none but the
transfer of the power of licensing from the Magis-
tracy to the Excise, that would be,. with us, a
sufficient reason for its rejection. It proposes
to exempt the keeper of a public-house, after he has
once obtained a license, from all further interference
on the part.of the Magistrates. Of course, the salu-
tary ,:and, indecdpecessary check which an annual re-
newal of the licence contingent on good behaviour,
imposes up'on the publican would be, if not
entirely removed, so weakened, that in nine cases
out of ten it would be of no practical use.
We trust that if the Hon. Gentleman do not let his
motion drop, it -will meet with the same reception as
formerly.

We learn from Manchester, that the interrup-
tion of the late meeting held there was caused by a
knot of drunken people, and the instigator is sup-
posed to be in the pay of the Tories. We con-
ceive this to be probable, and we know it is the
conviction of those who have had the best oppor-
tunities of learning the proceedings of the working
classes of the north, that more than one of their
leaders arc as surely in the pay of the Tories as
they promote their cause. Many of the
trades at Manchester, •andsome of the Chartists,
have disavowed any connexion with the rioters whose
conduct they condemn. They do not share the
sentiments of the drunkards, and are anxious to
shake off the suspicion of being Tories. They will,
we hope, ensure a more patient hearing, and
more efficient protection for the Delegates when
they again meet. The Tories in Parliament
have refused the master manufacturers a hearing,
and have treated them as if they were an
incumbrance and a nuisance to society. Fol-
lowing up that system they are now, it appears,
stirring up the population of their own neighbour-
hood, to oppose the manufacturers. Those great
capitalists, whose skilful combinations and exten-
sive plans set many hands in motion, finding them-
selves slighted by Parliament, and locally opposed,
so that their consequence and power are at once
destroyed, must begin, we apprehend, to think that
Great Britain is no longer a fit place for the exer-
cise of their industry. British capital is already laying
down rail-roads and erecting cotton-mills in America,
establishing founderies, and constructing machinery
in Belgium, Switzerland, and the Tyrol, and drain-
ing mines, and extractirg the ore from them, in
Mexico and Peru. Capital has always a tendency to
leave a country where profit is limited by restrictions
on industry, and where the natural progress of so-
ciety is checked or impeded ; and if the land-
owning Tories strengthen the tendency by
insults and insecurity, by depriving it of
political power and local influence, they will hasten
its flight, and bring on national decay. Wherever
English capital goes, the skilful workmen, who
are so closely connected with it as to be in some
measure its creatures and in some measure its crea
tors, will go with it, and the most fatal day in
the decline of Britain's greatness will be that
when her manufacturing capitalists, neglected
and outraged by a Parliament of Tory landlords, and
hooted by a Tory mob, shall be convinced that
they are no longer respected or protected, and shall
resolve to transport their wealth and skill, and their
skilful workmen to other lands. It was .not by
despising and dishonouring commerce and manu-
factures that Britain grew into eminence, but by
fosterina encouraging, and honouring them. Are

the Tories only to depart from the principles of our
ancestors when those principles arc wise and just ?

It would be unjust towards the Government not
to acknowledge that the exposition of Mr.
CHARLES Woon, on moving the Navy Estimates
in the House of Commons last night, is calculated
to show that if our Navy be not as efficient as it
might have been made, and as the necessities of
our position require it to be, the blame is not pe-
culiarly attributable to the present Ministry.
Amidst a host of sophisms and fallacies Mr.
WOOD stated a number of facts, all proving that
since tl►e accession of the present Goverment
to office, no reduction has been made in those
branches which peculiarly affect the efficiency of
the Navy. The reductions which so alarmed the
country were made during the brief Adminis-
tration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who took credit
to himself for shearing the Navy of its strength
The Right Honourable Baronet was in
office in 1835. That year the number of sail of
the line in commission was eleven ; now the
number so commissioned is twenty. The very
first year the present Government took office they
increased the number of men and boys from
17,500 to 22,500. They likewise increased the
vote for wages in the dock-yards to tire amount of
64,0001.. while the increase on stores is
210,0001.—:►o trifling items in the estimation
of the Honourable Member for - Kilkenny.
The reduction in the dock-yards was ►nade
by the Duke of WELLINGTON, that of
seamen and stores by Sir ROBERT PEEL. With
respect to the state of the ships actually in com-
mission—of the effect of the system of half manning
large vessels, thus breaking the spirits of the
men by excessive fatigue the Honourable
Gentleman was wholly silent. He vapoured a
good deal, it is true, about the gallantry of
seamen afloat ; and he talked over all the
statements in Sir JOHN BARROW'S Supple-
mentary chapter relative to the fleets of Russia,
France, and the United States ; but he did not tell
the House that the Board of which he is the organ,
had taken one single step radically to improve the
administration of the Naval Service. He did not
state that the Government had carefully inquired
into the system of naval promotion, and discovered
it to be disgraceful—that they had next devoted -
their attention to the mode of recruiting the
Navy in seasons of emergency, and repudiated
it as inhuman. He did not pledge himself that
the Board of Admiralty would check the practice of
assisting young officers with high Court connections
to leap to eminence over the heads of distinguished
veterans who had freely shed their blood in the
service of their country. His speech was confined
to the materiel not to the morale of the Navy, and
tothat very limited extent was, upon the whole, much
more satisfactory than we had anticipated. Such
also was the impression which it made upon the
House; for so completely were the Opposition taken
by Surprise, that with the consent of all parties,
the debate was adjourned over till Wednesday, to
allow time for further inquiry.

Madrid Journals of the 24th, with letters from Bay-
onne of the 27th ult., have been received this morning.
According to the .Madrid Gazette, the notorious curate
MottEN°, so long the terror of the Christinos, and
Count NEGIII, wore among the batch of suspected
Carlists butchered by MAROTO. On the 25th
MAROTO had an interview with Don CARLOS at
Tolosa, when the Pretender was humanely pleased
to express his high approbation of the bloody tragedy
acted by that tiger in human form. Did we
not intimate as much, when the report reached us ?
1114co'ro, in butchering his fellow-conspirators, obeyed
the secret orders of the Pretender himself. Will the
Herald now redeem its pledge, by assisting to hold him
up to the execration of civilized Europe ?
Messrs. LIZARD!, PELLEY, and BOYD are reported
guarantees for the new loan, offered to the Government
by Mr. HENDERSON. We annex the monetary trans-
actions on the Madrid Bourse :
Eleven purchases for a sum of 4,680,000 reels were
made in the New Five per Cents. on the 24th, of which
five for cash ; the first at 18 1-16, and the four others at
188, and the remainder for Account, at 194-, at 60 days,
with premium, aad at 18i. without premium. There
were five transactions in the Debt bearing no Interest, to
an amount of 5 997,225 reels; two for cash, and the others
for Account, at 51, at 60 days.

The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been received,
but they bring no political news of interest. On Satur-
day, the Prince DE JoiNvrm,E, accompanied by the
Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOIJRS, arrived in Paris.
Out, of the fourteen arrondissements into which Paris is
divided, the Opposition expect to have a majority of votes
in eleven, thu; throwing Government influence in the
capital completely in the shade.
PARIS, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 3. —The Prince de
Joiuville arrived at the Tuilleries yesterday evening, on his
return from Mexico.

The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, who left Paris
on hearing of his Ro►al Higuesses' landing, met him at
Avranches, and the three Princes returned to Paris to-
gether.7-111oniteur.

- The French Consul at Valencia has received from the
local authority the following notice, which declares a
part of the coast of the province of Valencia in a state of
blockade :

" His Excellency the General-in-Chief of the Armv of
the Centre, and Captain-General of those Kingdoms, -has
sent me the following communication, dated 9th of this
month, from his head-quarters at Murviedro.
" General ! Being certain of the scandalous traffic in
arms, ammunition, and other things destined for the
enemy, which is carried on upon the coast of the province
of Castellon ; I have decided that from this day forward
the whole extent of the coasts between the Torre de Sol
do Rio, at the mouth of the Rio-Cenea to Castellon de la
Plana,. shall be declared in a state of blockade, with-
the exception only of the ports of Verraraz, Perris-
cola, and Castellon. In consequence, all vessels, whe-
ther large or small, national or foreign, from whatever
place they may come, which shall be found at anchor
on the portion of the coast above specified, shall be
conducted to the Gras do Valencia, and declared good
prizes, wiLli the exception of those foreign ships only
which have not been apprised of this measure, but which
shall nevertheless be sent to the Gras de Valencia, to
account for anchoring on the coast.
" This measure is to remain,' in fine, till further orders
from me, which I shall readily give as soon as circumstances
shall permit, and when his Majesty's troops shall be in that
district. All this I communicate to your Excellency for
your information and guidance, and that you may announce
this measure to the maritime authorities, the military corn.
menders, and others whose duty it will be to cxcute it, as
well as to the public by means of the Journals of this
city, that it may be known to everybody, and none be able to
plead ignorance.
" I transmit this copy to you, Sir, for your information,
as well as that of the other Consuls and Vice-Consuls re-
siding in this capital.
" God preserve you.
" The Brigadier Second in Command,
" PEDRO CHAERN.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Morning Herald of this day, i❑ a leading article on
Baron Fortescue's speech in the House of Lords last night,
says :—" A snore weak, inconclusive defence against a
most furious charge, was never perhaps hazarded by a
public functionary." If the defence was "inconclusive,"
it was only because no defence was needed.
The Morning Post, true to its party prejudices, ob-
sarves of Lord Fortescue's speech last night that it is not
" by any means satisfactory ;" arid then proceeds gravely
and authertatively to declare that his Lordship is ore' of
the most unfit men that could possibly have been selected
fur the Irish Viceroyalty.
The Morning Chronicle, alluding to the discussion that
took place last. night in the Lords on the subject of Baron
Fortescue's explanatory speech, and Lord Lyndhurst's
admission that by reason of his notorious "alien" speech,
he considered himself incapacitated from acting as Irish
Viceroy—our Contemporary, commenting on these points
of the debate, shrewdly and justly observes—" This ad-
mission would not, we presume, have been so frankly made,
had an appointment in Ireland been any object to the
Noble and Learned Lord."
The Times, sneaking of the North American intelligence
just arrived, expresses a wondrous deal of superfluous
alarm on the subject, observing—" We ask once more, how
are the North American Colonies to be defended ? Have
Ministers advised her Gracious Majesty to give them up ?"
The Morning Advertiser, in an article on the subject of
Lord Ashley's speech last night in the House of Commons,
says—" Grant a free importation of corn, and the young
operatives will not need the protection of factory laws."

Lady Fuller has issued cards for a noire dansanie
on the 19th instant.

MA ItISCHAL COLLEGE.—Yesterday, Mr. Col-
quhoun, of Killermont, M.P. for the Kiltrarricck district
of burghs, was elected Rector of Marischal College for
the present year. The same gentleman had been proposed
ursuccessfully at the two preceding elections. The only
other candidate brought forward was Mr. Campbell, the
poet. The election on this occasion seems to have excited
less interest than usual among the students. The Professors
unanimously re-elected Mr. Bannerman, M. P., Dean of
Faculty —Aberdeen Haub].

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

STRIOICLAND .V. STEICKLAND.

The arguments in this case, which came before the
Court upon exceptions to the Master's Report, occupied
his Honour the whole day.

THEATRES.

ADELPHI.

The celebrated Parisian monkeys made their first ap-
pearance here last night, and were received with much
applause, Mr. Yates expressly assuring the audience that
they were the genuine, bona fide originals, who had created
so great a sensation at Paris. They went through various
evolutions of dancing, broad-sword fighting, playing the
tambourine, &c.
