t
';-rt, of the poi.lts
in the Report at which the Times cavil are trifling in
the extreme ; for it so happens that some of the as-
sumed blunders of the Commissioners are not to be
found in that document. Thus, for example, the
Times very gravely states that--" The letters
patent directed them to take into consideration not only
the existing means which the country presents, but thos
which may be anticipated from the resources which in
future may be developed. Now this they have not done,
and they expressly say so at page 17 of their Report."
We have turned to page 17, and find that the Times
has wholly mistaken the purport of the pa-sage to
which it refers, which merely has for its object the
development of the existing means of the country.
So far have the Commissioners been from overlooking
the instruction here quoted from the letters patent,
that we find an entire section of the Report devoted to
the anticipated benefits from Railways, appropriately
headed " On the Influence of Railways in developing
the Resources of a Country." As to the cry which
has been so ridiculously raised about the cost to the
country of this Commission, we believe that never
was there such an invaluable mass of evidence col-
lected at so cheap a rate. Those who make no scruple
of paying money by the million for the maintenance
of a sinecure Church, ought not to grudge the paltry
sum of 16,0001. for the survey of a kingdom, accom-
panied with most invaluable plans and suggestions for
its moral and physical improvement. Whether Par-
liament adopt or reject the Report of the Commis-
sioners, is quite another affair. No future proceed-
ing on the part of the Legislature can detract from
the intrinsic excellence of a document, containing a more
correct and extensive knowledge of the actual condi-
tion, and vast untried resources and capabilities of
Ireland, than are to be found in all the books and Re-
ports which have been published upon these subjects
since the Legislative Union.

The Paris Journals of Sunday are almost as barren

of interesting intelligence as the Papers of the two
previous days, receivtd yesterday. The Constitution-
nel repeats the contradiction which it gave to the asser-
tion of the Journal de Franiffort, that the ukase for
abolishing the national costume of the Poles was a for-
gery. Our Gallic Contemporary offers to:substantiate
the. authenticity of the ukase by producing one of the
original circulars, and states that the attempt to throw
discredit upon its own acts is a state trick of the Ca-

binet of St. Petershurgh.
The miserable Republic of Cracow is about to be-
come the scene of some new tragedy, which is to be
performed fur the amusement of the " Three Protectimz
(I) Powers," as we learn from the following pithy

notification : .
" An extensive conspiracy has been discovered in Cra-
cow. The foreign residents have appointed a commission
to try the persons implicated in it."
The conspiracy thus discovered amounts, we are in-
formed, to the guilt of addressing a letter of complaint
against the tyranny of Austria, Russia, and Prussia
towards the Cracovian Senate, to the Journal des
Debats. Doubtless it will he severely punished ; the
object of the agents of the Great Powers being to force
the citizens of Cracow, in self-defence, and to escape
from their present miserable surveillance, to petition
for leave to be incorporated with one or other of these
States. By this means a justificatory plea, in the
eyes of Western Europe, will be furnished for reducing
Cracow to the miserable condition of Poland.
The following news from the Mediterranean is from
the correspondence of the Commerce:—
" MALTA, SEPT. 22.—We have learned by the British
steam frigate Rhadamanthus, which left Scio on the 17th
instant, that the British squadron under the orders of Ad-
miral Stopford had arrived at that island from Vourla. It
is composed of twelve vessels of war—viz., the seven ships
of the line, Princess Charlotte, Rodney, Vanguard, Asia,
Bellerophon, Minden, and Pembroke ; the three frigates
Barham, Talbot, and Tyne ; a;;d the two brigs Wasp and
Wolverine. The Ottoman squadron was also at anchor off
Scio, and consisted of twenty sail—►iz., five ships of the
line, seven frigates, four corvettes, two brigs, one schooner,
and a steamer.

" The two squadrons are, it appears, to cruise together
in the Archipelago, and, for the better understanding of
the signals exchanged between the Admirals, the Capitan
Pasl,a consented to receive on board his ship Mr. Walker,
commander of the Vanguard, and to allow an English offi-
cer to embark in each of the other Ottoman vessels.
Should the Turkish squadron re-enter the Dardancile,,
after completing this cruise, the British fleet will return
to the island of Scio, touching at Smyrna, and perhaps at
Athens."
There appears to be some exaggeration in the fol

owing extract from a German Paper, 'published in

Paris :
Our correspondent writes to us from Fiume (Elyria

under date the 15th ult., that he had learned from Bucha,
rest that Russian troops were marching towards the Turk-
ish frontiers. Upwards of 120,000 men from all parts of
the empire are to be concentrated in that direction under
the orders of Prince Paskewitsch, and 400 pieces of artil-
lery and a considerable number of transports, anchored in
the harbour of Elllianowa, are to support those move-
ments."
The annexed extracts include all the news there is
in these Journals :
The C'hinzere steam-boat arrived at Toulon on the 2(1,
in the evening, from Algiers, which it left on the 28th of
September. It touched at Bona, where it took on board
the mail and the Mat shal's despatches.
ALGIERS, SEPT. 2.—The presence of the Marshal at
Constantine excites general attention, especially zs lie is
accompanied by B,n Aissa, formerly the Governor for
Achmet Bey. It is feared that it is for the purpose of
establishing him as chief of the country (not the city).
This would have a very bad effect on the tribes that have
always been attaclled to us.
The Sheiks are more and more astonished to see th
we have not some more fixed plan respecting Africa.
Assassinations are still very frequent in the environs
of Algiers and Bona, and the guilty cannot be taken.
The road from Constantine to Bona, by way of
Stora, is continued without any molestation to our wor!:-
men, but the Kabyles have declared that as soon as an
attempt is made to carry it through their territory they
will oppose it with all their might.
Abd-el-Kader is still intent on the siege of Alnmadi ;
he is well provided with ammunition, for he is supplied by
us ; list week howitzers aid bombx were furnished him by
the artillery. It is inconceivable what interest we can have
in augmenting the strength of our rival, unless it be to re-
establish a power to which we might deliver up all Al-

gem.
At the moment of the departure of the Chimere it was
reported that the Great Serpent of the Desert has captured
Aclimet Bey, just as he was leasing the territory of the
Araclus, but this news needs confirmation.
The journey to Fontainbleau will not take place. The
arrival of the King of the Belgians at Paris is announced
for the 16th October.
The King has gone to pass some days at Versailles.
The Duke of Orleans arrived at Paris yesterday evening.
The National Genevois says—" It is affirmed that the
Swiss Burgomasters in the service of Naples and Rome
will shortly retturn to Switzerland."—Le Com►nerce.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND.—The Directors of the
National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, with
several distinguished supporters of the Institution,
dined together yesterday at the King's Arms, in the
Poultry. Several toasts were drank, and the Chairman,
Mr. LANIIE MURRAY, in proposing " Prosperity to
the Institution," entered minutely into the state of the
Society, and the progress it had made since its esta-
blishment, a detail which appeared to give the most
cordial satisfaction. The advance which this Society
has made in public opinion, as evinced by the extent
of support it has already won for itself, seems to be
scarcely credible ; but when the high principles On
which it is based are considered, and the intelligence
and ability by which it is conducted, it will not
appear surprising- For our own part, . having been
amongst its most early
