troverted elections, about national education and appoint-
ments to the magistracy, about municipal corporations
to establish freedom, and Sabbath Bills to multiply re-
strictions, about Copyright and the Spanish Legion,
about the Corn-laws and the Vixen, &c. &c., which
came to nothing, we can but conclude that the long
Session has been almost fruitless, of good. There
has been an abundance of talk and little eloquence,
and a multitude of motions which have ended in no-
thing. We know no other bodies of men in this or in
any other country who labour day after day and night
after night through so many months, and whose labours
end in such a complete negation of all benefits and ad-
vantages both to themselves and others. The boys of
the Marine Society learn something every day, the
congregated urchins of the factory mills do something
every hour, which has its value in the market ; but the
Members of the two Houses of Parliament seem
annually to meet only to wrangle, and grievously to
disappoint all those who look to them for redress or
improvement.

With such an unhappy result of misapplied labour
staring the whole community in the face, that most ig-
norant, misled, and misleading Baronet, Sir R.INGLis,
had the simplicity last night to boast of the great
number of days the Parliament had been assembled,
and the hours it had laboured. For nine months it has
been in Session, the Commons met onl7B days, and the
Lords on 144, and the Commons have been occupied
no less than 1,134 hours. To record their labours,
independent of the reports of the debates, has required
no less than 2,560 folio pages of print, exclusive of
appendices, &c., and what all this labour and all this
expense has done for the country, it has been the pur-
port of our previous remarks to estimate. The Hon.
Baronet may mistake activity for usefulness, and re-
gard his own weariness as a sign of some mighty work
accomplished ; but the laborious enumeration he last
night submitted to the House, contrasted with the re-
sults of the Session as recorded in the QUEEN'S
Speech, only makes more apparent the little worth of
the labour of the thousand Peers and Commoners, who
seem to meet for any other purpose rather than to
achieve any good for the nation.
Whatever might have been the hopes of any persons
before the opening of the Session, they were, we be-
lieve, immediately extinguished by the declarations of
the Ministers. A forced inactivity, the neutraliza-
tion of the evil spirit of Toryism, was all that from that
moment could be expected. The real parties into
which the country is divided are the Aristocracy
and the Democracy, the stationary and the pro-
gressive, the satisfied and the hungry for improvement.
All the Tories, comprising half the House, belong to the
former. They are, one and all, the minions of the
Aristocracy and the Church, and the opponents of the
progressive Democracy. To them it was soon ascer-
tained there must be added three-fourths of the soi-
disant Liberals at least, leaving as the representatives
of the Democracy and the Chapel in the Commons,
including the Catholics, not one-eighth of the whole.
In tile Peers they have no Representatives. With such
a balance of parties what could be expected ? The
questions of Canada, the Ballot, the Corn-laws,
and every other in which the democratic and
aristocratic parties had different interests, demon-
strated that the former had nothing to hope from
the Parliament. But it is only this party which de-
mands anything, or has any grievances to complain
of. The two parties of the Aristocracy are well satis-
fied with things as they are ; they combine to support
the Church—with what hypocrisy we say not—and to
approve of nearly every one of those institutions and
customs which were established for their advan-
tage, and of which the Democracy and the
chapel-goers complain. What wonder, then, that
this Session, long though it have been, should have
closed like so many others, bringing nothing but dis-
appointment to the Democrats'. It is some con-
solation, indeed, to know that it has also disappointed
the most tyrannical and most hypocritical section of
the Aristocracy. The Tories yet.hunger for office.

The report of a very important speech, delivered by
Mr. O'CoNNELL at a public meeting of the electors
of Dublin, on Wednesday last, will be found in our
columns of this day. The Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman„it will he seen, is preparing a grand scheme of
national agitation, the plan of which is to be sub-
mitted to a meeting of the citizens of Dublin to be held
to-morrow at the Corn Exchange. In England the
Parliamentary recess promises to be a season of political
repose ; in Ireland it threatens to be productive of
more than usual party excitement. Mr. O'CONNELL
continues to avow his confidence in the 'Ministers,
while he proclaims aloud that they have not the
power of doing justice to Ireland. The scurrilous
abuse heaped by a faction in this country upon the
Catholic religion and its ministers, and especially the
attempt made by the SPOTTISWOODE conspirators, to
fix upon the priesthood a general charge of perjury
and intimidation, has provoked, on the part of the
Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, an appeal to
the religious feelings and prejudices of the Irish people,
which we have read with very deep concern. In the
new career of agitation upon which Mr. O'CONNELL
avows himself to have entered, we trust he proposes
not to enlist, as auxiliaries in a political warfare, the
religious prejudices of any portion of his countrymen.

The weather has undergone an unfavourable change
again to-day, and every day has now a great influence
on our prospects as to harvest. The intelligence from
the south and west of England continues extremely
favourable, but the intelligence from the north is not
so good. Accounts from the Continent, too, speak of
a partial failure of the corn crop there, and describe the
weather as having been extremely ungenial. In case of
stinted crops here, then, that source of supply will fail
us. The price of the four pound loaf is still 101 d., and
now, therefore, is the time to enlist the energies of the
capitalists suffering from low profits, and of labourers
suffering from insufficient wages, in procuring the re-
peal of the Corn-laws. We cordially echo, therefore,
the advice of the Chronicle, merely adding, that it is
more incumbent on us to put an end to this starvation,
strangling system—this scheme of slow and wholesale
murder for the benefit of those Burkers of the national
prosperity and national happiness—the idle landowners,
than to repress any other acts of robbery and murder
which are not, like this, ordained by law :
_ _ _

We would humbly suggest (says the Chronicle) that in
all places permanent Committees be appointed to guide and
direct the operations for the overthrow of the Corn-laws.
The energy and intelligence of the country would thus be
brought effectually to bear against the monopolists of food ;
and victory would infallibly be the reward of well-directed
exertions.

The Paris Journals of Wednesday, though filled
with rumours and suggestions of a political complexion,
contain very little authentic news of importance. We
do not share in their alarms respecting the final settle-
ment of the Hollando-Belgic question, firmly believing
that Prussia knows her own interest, and understands
her own position too well, to kindle the flames of a war
that would engage all the great Powers of Europe.
The following extracts from them include all the news
contained in them of any general interest :
The Archbishop of Cuba, who had obtained passports from
the French Government to proceed from Tours to Geneva,
had changed his itinerary, and safely reached the South of
France, crossed the Spanish frontier without the least difficulty,
and joined Don Carlos at Onate.
BRUSSELS, Aua. 15.—The average prices of wheat and rye
in the week ending. Aug. 11, were—Wheat 23f. 57c., rye
12f. 83c. per hectolitre. Wheat is therefore exempt from
import duty, and that on rye remains Lt 21f. 50e. per 1,000
kilogrammes.
The Independent says, "all the Journals speak of a very

serious accident on the iron railroad, at the Termonde station,

the day before yesterday.— They allege that a steam-engine
coming to place itself at the head of the train on its way from
Brussels to Ghent, came into such violent collision with the
head of the train, that eight carriages were dashed to atoms
and thirty persons severely injured. This statement is exag-
gerated. The collision indeed took place, in consequence of
the rapidity with which the engineer Lambremont, caused, the
steam-engine to return to the train after it had been to
take in a supply of water. Lambremont was not intoxicated,
for then he would not have been permitted to get on the en-
gine, but be was either over zealous or careless. Several
passengers were preparing to get into the carriages, others
had already taken their seats; the number of those who were
struck by the splinters of glass or wood were not thirty, but
seven, and only one (a Mr. Vandernoa, of Alost, as we are
told) was unable to proceed on his journey. He received a
violent blow on the chest, which made bleeding necessary, but
he was removed to Alost in the evening.

" This accident is the more distressing as extraordinary pre-
cautions had been taken for the service of Sunday, on which
day it was supposed above 15,000 passengers might be ex-

petted."
The opening of the section of the iron railroad from Ghent
to Bruges took place on Sunday, the l2th, with great
ceremony. The King and Queen, who were present,
were received with the most enthusiastic expressions of
loyalty and attachment by the immense crowd of spectators
which the occasion had attracted to the spot. The King, in
his reply to the Burgomaster of Bruges, said that he " had
always felt the greatest interest in their beautiful city, the
sincerity of which he thought he showed by the readiness with
which he visited them on this occasion. There is every rea-
son to hope that the good city of Bruges will recover the an-
cient prosperity of which it was so justly proud." This speech
was received with loud acclamations of " Vive le Roi Vive
la Reine !"
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 23.—The late High Admiral Tahir
Pacha is appointed Muschar of Alden, in the room of Ahmed
Fethi Pacha Abdul-hak. Effendi Vazinsker of Anatolia, and
President of the Board of Health, is removed from the latter
office, and succeded by Namik Pacha. Among the beneficial re-
gulations lately introduced here may be mentioned as worthy of
praise the abolition of various imposts which fettered inland
trade, and especially the duty which had to be paid to the He.
tissab Naziri on the importation of timber, coals, and fruit. It is
probable, too, that the tamiza, or stamp duty, will be shortly
totally abolished. These measures have the most favourable
effect on the minds of the inhabitants of the capital, and they
will now submit the more willingly to the ordinances to be
issued for the purpose of preventing the introduction of the
plague.

The powder magazine at Abhadli was near being blown up
on the night of the 21st of this month. Happily the explo-
sion was confined to two barrels of powder, but eight persons
were either killed or wounded. The accounts from the Dar-

danelles state that the Turkish fleet, under the command o
the Capitan Pacha, had entered the Archipelago on the 19th,

Allgemeins Zeitung, Aug. 12.
Admiral Sir R. Stopford, with the squadron under his
command, consisting of five line-of-battle ships, one frigate,
four brigs, and one steamer, put into the Bay of Tunis, on his
way to the lonian Islands and the Archipelago, on the 30th
ult., as we learn from Toulon ; whilst under sail, he was sa-
luted by 15 guns from the Jena, bearing the French Admiral's
flag, which were immediately returned. Two hours after
the fort of Goeletta fired a salute of 21 guns, which
was immediately returned. As Sir R. Stopford did
not communicate with the shore, it was presumed he would
make no stay, but return to Malta. The anniversary of the
days of July was celebrated by the French vessels on the 29th.
Salutes were fired ; a grand dinner was given by Admiral
Lalande, at which the foreign Consuls resident at Tunis were
present ; and in the evening the crew of the Jena got up a
theatrical representation.
The Journal du Havre informs us that the Sirius steamer,
which sailed from London on the morning of the Ist inst., ar-
rived at Elsinore at seven in the evening of the 4th, two hours
before the Paris, which had sailed from Havre at eleven o'clock
in the morning of the same day. The Paris sailed from Co-
penhagen for ;•.-:t. Petersburgh at six in the evening of the sth.
The Sirius had sailed at three in the afternoon of the
same day.

"If we are well informed," says the Europe, " the secret
despatches sent by M. Fabricius to his Government, and
which he contrived to procure, are not altogether foreign to
the resolution of the King of Holland to oppose the continu-
ance of negotiations at London which be has adopted, and to
fire on vessels under Belgian colours which appear off Flush-
ing. There has been more spite than has been supposed in
the angry complaints against M. Fabricius. We are able to
say, the King of the Netherlands has become acquainted
with all that he wanted to know, and that he has acted in
consequence.' We believe that it is not M. Fabricius who
has been the person taken in by this miserable police affair."
The Currier Francais states that the blockading squadron
on the coast of Mexico is going to be increased to 22 vessels,
under the command of Rear-Admiral Baudit.

" It is stated," says the Bon Sens, " that the order of St.
Anthony, which was created in 1236, but which subse-
quently merged in that of Malta, has been re-established by
a Papal bull, on the demand of an illustrious Princess, who has
provided a locality and an endowment of 12.000,000 f. for the
new institution, for which, it. is added, the chateau of Randau
is destined."

The young Archduke, Frederick of Austria came on shore
at Toulon on the 10th inst., to breakfast at the Maritime Pre-
fecture, and take leave of Vice-Admiral Jurien de Lagraviere,
who in the evening went on board the Guerriere, to return the
visit of the Prince. This frigate will sail the first favourable
wind (Frect for Gibraltar, and will then proceed to Cadiz and
Tangier.
We learn by accounts from Hayti that the President Boyer,
in his speech at the opening of the Legislative Session, dwelt
on the a ',vantages to be expected from the successful issue of
the negotiations with the French Plenipotentiaries; and also
took occasion to observe, that whatever might be the public
feeling, and though improvements might be introduced into
the public institutions, it was necessary to guard against the
spirit of innovation. Some irregularities which have
is crept
into practice in several departments of the state are, itsaid,
to be corrected, and, amongst others, the manner of filling up
vacancies in the Senate. A dispute had arisen between the
Chamber of Representatives and the Senate on the subject of
the attempt to assassinate General Inginac, mentioned by us
not long ago.
The Bon Sena contains the following warlike paragraph,
which, however, we deem entitled to very little credit ; since
1815 there hes never been less appearance of a continental
war An extraordinary Cabinet Council, over which the
King presided, assembled on Monday evening to deliberate on
the affairs of Belgium, which have assumed a new aspect, at
Berlin, where they are apparently as far from a termination as
in 1831. All the young men in Prussia are said to be inspired
with warlike ardour, and it was added that the landwehr are
to be called out en masse, that a position is to be taken up in
the Rhenish provinces, and that M. Bresson has transmitted
to the French Cabinet a note announcing the grievances of
Prussia on the occasion of the disturbances by which the
Catholic population have been agitated. Must we suppose
that Ministers have been placed in this embarrassing situation
by the infidelities or manoeuvres of M. Chaltas with foreign
diplomatists? The question eppeared sufficiently serious to
require the presence of Marshal Gerard before the Council,
and he has been sent to Baden ; and a camp of 30,000 men
is to be formed on the Rhine, the war administration having
received and transmitted by telegraph the necessary orders on
the subject."
SWITZERLAND.--Extract from a letter, dated Lucerne,
Aug. 12.—" The following fact will show how delighted
the absolutist Courts feel at the silly quarrel which France
has sought with Switzerland. M. de- Bombelles, the Austrian
Envoy in Berne, received some time ago from his Court, instruc-
tions to support the petitions sent in to the Diet by certain
convents to complain of measures adopted by the cantonal
Governments of Argovia and Thurgau, and, in particular,
of a decree which deprived them of the administration of
their property. In conformity with his instructions, M. de
Bombelles had drawn up a note, which he intended pre-
senting, to the Directory, when he thought better of it,
and kept it back. He then wrote to his Government that
he did not consider the present moment favourable for Aus-
tria to interfere in Swiss affairs; he represented that the
conduct of France would necessarily have for its result to
compel the Helvetic Confederation to seek allies on the side
of Germany, mid that it would be the height of impolicy not

desist for the moment from all appearance of hostility against
the federal authorities, and as the presentation of the note at
such a juncture might be attended with unpleasant conse-
quences, he had thought proper to withhold it until he re-
ceived fresh instructions from Vienna.
" You may fully rely on the accuracy of the above statement,
which I have obtained from an unquestionable authority.
" The Diet is to debate to-morrow whether the Confederation
shall send a deputation to the coronation of the Emperor of
Austria, and, in case of an affirmative decision, within what
limits that deputation is to circumscribe its mission."
The Ministerial publication, Revue des Deux Monde; says
that should Louis Buonaparte voluntarily consent to withdraw
from Switzerland, such a step would not satisfy the French
Government, which has not addressed itself to him but to
Switzerland. If he retired voluntarily be might return volun-
tarily, and reside again in the canton of Thurgau. There
must at least be afforded to France a declaration of the
reFe-
deral Directory in the way of guarantee. It moreover ap-
pears certain, adds the Revue, that Louis Buonaparte will not
acknowledge himself a Swiss citizen—an acknowledgment

in Switzer-
land, the French Government would render the Federal
Directory responsible for his future machinations. Much
rigour is commanded by the conduct of Louis Buonaparte
and that of the individuals who surround him, and who were
but a short time past again recruiting for him at Bader and
Manheim. They had even waited on Prince Jerome Buona-
parte's youthful son, and reproached him with not being at his
post, which, said they, was by his Emperor, or at Arenenberg.
In tho interest itself of Louis Buonaparte some eminent per-
sons had exhorted him, in the name of the French Govern-
ment, to quit
Arenenberg after his mother's death ; but he
had answered that his income, which is
only forty thousand
francs a year, did not permit him to live in England—the
only country in which he would be suffered to sojurn. Those
persons then engaged to obtain for him a permission from the
i
Austrian Government to reside n Italy with his father, who,
openly disapproves of all his measures, and threatens even to
disinherit him if he persists in his mad design of agitating
France. But the young Prince made a formal refusal, al-

leging his duty towards such of his subjects as have devoted
themselves to his cause.

Advices from Madrid, to the evening of." the Bth
instant, have just reached us, announcing the termina-
tion of the Ministerial crisis. We must observe,
however, that the truth of such a statement rests
wholly upon the degree of credit to which the follow-
ing paragraphs from the Correio Nacional of that
date may be judged entitled :
" An extraordinary Council of Ministers was held yesterday
evening at half-past two o'clock, and remained in deliberation
to six. It appears that the Duke de Frias, Martinez de la
Rosa, Isturiz, and Moscoso de Altamira were invited and were
present at this council. It appears that the result of the de-
liberation was to fix the question on that base which the inte-
rest of the country in its present circumstances demands.
" At night all the Ministers went up to see the Queen, and
in her Royal presence frankly and loyally explained the state
of affairs, and delivered to her Majesty those opinions which a
feeling of duty dictated.
" If our information do not deceive us, the situation of the
Government is consolidated, and her Majesty, whose justice,
whose solicitude extends to all her servants, continues to play
her confidence (which she never withdrew) in her legal ad-
visers, and that a reconciliation with the illustrious chief at the
head of the army has also been effected."
The Gazette, of the 7th, contains a despatch from
Colonel CRESPO, announcing the defeat of the Carlist
Chieftain FELIPE, near the town of Oropesa, on the
borders of Estremadura and Castile. The Carlists
lost 125 men killed, 25 made prisoners, 80 horses, and
all their arms, ammunition, and baggage.

From the north of Spain no intelligence of the least
importance had reached the Spanish capital.
