can only be hoisted in again on the shoulders of Reform
—they are all that they should not be. The CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER ably exposed the Right Hon. Baronet's
smooth sophistries on this head. Mr. SHER., too, was
.equally felicitous in his reply to. Lord STANLEY, whose
usual saucy petulance deepened last night into downright
bilious exacerbation. His Lordship, we suspect, feels that
!le is descending to his level at a quicker rate than be could
lesirc—a consciousness which is ill calculated to improve
the temper of a vain, aspiring man. After a long and
animated debate, the Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Monday next. We sin-
cerely hope that it will ,pasS the House of Commons by a
majority proportioned to its deserts ; for a better digested
Bill, or one more calculated to insure good government to
Ireland, was never yet brought before Parliament. In its
way it is full a's important as Catholic Emancipation.
Indeed, it is the natural sequel to that great remedial
measure.

We direct public attention to an article entitled " Dis-
loyal Declaration," which will be found in another
column. It will be seen by this that the Irish
Orangemen refuse to dissolve. At a meeting lately held
in Dublin, they say that " they respect the will of the
Sovereign, but the liberty of the subject still more, and
will maintain." This resolution, however, was adopted,
before they could have received the official declaration
of the Duke of CUMBERLAND on the subject.

We beg to call the particular attention of all who ar©
interested in Railway projects, speculations, and con-
tracts, to the Report of the Select Committee of the
House of Commons, which is given at length iu another
part of The Sun of this day.

The Army Estimates have been published this morning ;
but they differ little from thoso of last year. It was stated
some time ago, in an Irish Paper (the Southern IL.porter),
that the Army was to be reduced 10,000 men, which now
turns out to have been "too good to be true." By the
Estimates for 1836-7, there appears to be, of all ranks,
101,039 ; being 48 men more than last year. Of this
number, 19,720 are for India ; leaving 81,319 for the
United Kingdom and the Colonies for effective service. In
the non-effective service, there is a decrease of 2,306 men,
and a saving of 38,0001. 3s. 9d., as compared with last
year—whereas, on the whole, there is an increase in charge
of 76,550/. ls. 10d., though there is a decrease in num-
bers of 2,258, leaving an increased amount to be provided
for of 142,826/. 4s. sd. This appears to us rather puz-
zling, unless it be accounted for by the following note at
the bottom ; which, upon examination, we find to be the
case, but why make an alteration or transfer from one de-
partment to another that shall saddle the country with an
amount of 142,828/. ? Here is the explanation :—" The
following charges have been transferred from the extraordi-
naries of the Army ; viz.—provisions, forage, fuel, light,
&c. &c. to the troops, 107,000/. ; to the staff, 40,000/. ;
pay of military labourers, 7,500/. ; pensions of discharged
negro Soldiers, 18,588; in all, 173,0881. But for this
transfer there would have been a diminution of charge of
96,5361. 18s. 2d., and of amount to be provided,
30,2611. 15s. 7d.

The following article, which we quote from a Hamburg
paper, shows the nature of the respect" which Rulsia,
Prussia, and Austria pay to the treaty of Vienna. We
wonder will Lord PALMERSTON see anything in this new
aggression likely to disturb the peace of Europe ?
CRACOW, FEB. 18.—A corps of the troops of the three pro-
tecting Powers-entered the city and territory of the Republic
yesterday, under the command of the Austrian General Kauf-
mann von Frauensteinburg, to enforce the demand of the
powers made to our Republic, because, as the General says in
a proclamation, " this demand has not been complied with by
the Government of Cracow, notwithstanding the means gene-
rously offered to it." At the conclusion of this proclamation
he says " Meantime the operations of the Administrations and
judicial authorities of the Republic experience no interruption,
of course, however, they are subordinate to the military autho-
rity in the measures that relate to the public safety, and the
closing of the territory of the Republic." A second procla-
mation enjoins those individuals not natives of the Republic,
who in the capacity of officers, subalterns, or privates, in the
former Polish army, or who in any other manner took an
active part in the late Polish revolution, to quit the territory
within the term of six days, in the manner already stated,
with the threat of severe punishment for them and those wl'o
may harbour and conceal them, even such as have been ad-
mitted into the civil or military service of the Republic, or
have acquired the rights of citizens.

By advices from St. Petersburgh, to the 18th ult., we
have learned the particulars of an accident which occurred
on the 14th, by which one hundred and twenty-six lives
were lost. This dreadful catastrophe arose out of the
wrong suspension of a lamp in one of the theatres, by which
the roof was set on fire. We subjoin the details :
ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 17. —The North Bee contains a de-
tailed account of a dreadful accident which occurred here on
Sunday, the 14th of February.
This, the first day of the holidays, was a day of affliction; at
four in the afternoon a fire broke in the Lchmnan's theatrical
booth, from a lamp which was hung too high setting fire to a
beam. In order to warn the public of the danger, the curtain
was drawn up, eight wide doors were immediately thrown
open, and a great part of the audience escaped unhurt ; the
remainder might have done the same, but those in the pit all
crowded to a narrow passage which was soon b'ocked up,
those who were thrown down were trodden under foot, the
roof fell in and covered the crowd with firebrands. Of above
400 persons, who were in the booth, 121 males and five females
perished, in all 126 persens ; about 10 more were severely in-
jured, but hopes are entertained of their recovery. All possible
exertions were made, and the Emperor himself arrived w►th the
first detachment of firemen. The thousands of persons who
crowded to the spot were kept back 1)3 the presence of the
Emperor ; by an aiN ful sense of the greatness of the disaster,
not the slightest disorder occurred. The bodies which seemed
to have some signs of life were conveyed in sledges to the 'Ad-
miralty, where every attention was paid. The crowd in silence
opened a broad passage for the fire-engines and the sledges,
and at nightfall everything had been done that was possible on
such a lamentable occasion.—Hamburg Papers, Feb. 26.

The whole of the French Journals of Sunday have been
received. The Illoniteur contains the following official
announcement :

" Marshal Clausel reached Algiers on the 20th, after having de-
feated Abdel Kadcr. The Emir had with him 3,000 ➢loroquin
auxiliaries, who fought with some degree of order. He had pro-
ceeded in person to attack the people of the desert of Angard, and
had xanquished and stripped them. The Bey, Ibrahim, took pos-
session of the camp at Tremesen, marched towards the desert, met
Abdel Kader coming back and loaded with spoil, vanquished him,
and gave him chase a long time, but without being able to come up
with him. Two very active and influential Lieutenants of the Emir
have been killed," _

We have no political news in these papers. It appears
by ndyices from the North of Spain, that CORDGVA has
either crit,oorinto a secret design to betray the QUEEN'S
army into the pow or the Carlists, or that he is ignorant
of the duties of a Commaudor under the peculiar circum-
stancas in which he is placed. We verily believe CORDOVA
meditates treason, if he be not already guilty of the crime.
As he is distrusted by his own Generals, the Minister of
War ought instantly to remove him from the chief coin-
mand the army of operations. •

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Our Parliamentary II port compels us to be brief with
the periodicals this month. The present Blackwood is a
good Number, were it only for its eloquent and impassioned
notice of " Swan's Select Views of the Lakes of Scotland,"
from whiCh we extract the following delightful passage :
" Imagination, who limns in air, has none of those difficulties
to contend with that always beset, and often baffle, artists in
oils or waters. At a breath she can modify, alter, obliterate,
or restore ; at a -breath she can colour vacuity with rainbow
hues—crown the cliff with its castle—swing the drawbridge
over the gulf profound—through a night of woods roll the
river along on its moonlit reach—by fragmentary cinctures of
mist and cloud so girdle ono mountain that it has the power of '
a hundred—giant rising above giant, far and wide, as if the
mighty multitude, in magnificent. and triumphant. disorder,
were indeed scaling heaven."
" Paris Mornings on the Leit Banks of the Seine" is a
-shrewd, discriminating piper, the production of a man of
learning, of worldly tact, and who has an evident turn for
the satirical. His account of Lacretelle is capital. " Wil-
liam Pitt" succeeds from 'sheer force of style. There is
little argument in it—all is bold hypothesis ; and the passing
sneers at Fox so absurd, as scarcely to deserve notice—
especially as they contradict what the same writer observed
a few months since of that illustrious statesman. " Extracts
from the Journal of an Alpine Traveller" show considerable
descriptive power. Turner might paint admirable land-
scapes from some of the traveller's minute and graphic
sketches. " Hints to Authors" is clever, as usual, but it is
too much spun out. Materienz superat opus. " Job
Pippins" is interesting as a tale, but it does not workout
an evident moral so ably as some of its author's previous
contributions. " The Cotton Manufacture" is an elaborate,
intelligent, and valuable essay. Indeed if we except the
review of Swan's Lakes.of Scotland, it is the best in the
Number.
