next Covent-garden festival. Should he incline to our
hint, we will promise him a full house, and many a
lusty encore. And here we may observe, that it was
only yesterday the. Conservative Morning Post was
bewailing the vulgarities of the Liberals in the House
of Commons ; and behold, to-day, forth steps the
Conservative KEAR-LEY-by way of justifying our
Contemporary's Jeremiad ! It is a thousand pities the
Ladies were not in the gallery last night ; for then,
peradventure, the Conservative Yfetnber for Wigan
would—to adopt the happy phraseology of Dr. Bow-
RlNG—have " bridled his manly passions ;" brought
the wave of his hand within the limits of the deeorous ;
and bowed more like a man of sense, and less like a
Chinese mandarin on a mantel-piece !

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have
been received. In the ZJoniteur of that day we find
the following :
" Letters from Vittoria of the 11th State that General Men-
dez Vigo has been named Minister of War, and that he had
left that city on the 10th for Madrid. Cordova intended wait-
ing for him in the capital, and would most probably start about
the loth. A brigade has been dispatched to Lower Arragon.
No engagement there has taken place. General Villareal is
to command the Carlist army during the absence of Eguia,
who is going to take the waters. Letters from Madrid of the
10th state that General Lopez de Banos has been named
Captain... General of Granada."
We have letters from Bayonne of the 15th, but they
bring no news of importance. EGUIA, with seventeen
batallions, was preparing to make an attack on St.
Sebastian.

PARIS, JUNE ]9.—The Ministers of Greece and Bavaria
have had another conference this morning with the President
of the Council. It is affirmed that the answers of the Court
of Munich to: the last observations of our Cabinet have ren-
dered the visit of their Royal Highnesses impossible. King
Otho, on his part, bas not consented to this interview with the
French Princes till the question which dividekthe two Cabi-
nets shall be settled.

In-this question M. Coletti, wholly devoted to the interests
of his country, and thoroughly convinced that the influence of
France alone can save Greece from the scourge of war,
warmly urges the execution of the Convention, and that no
money shall be advanced before the rights of the citizen shall
have been secured by constitutional guarantees, and till the
foreigners who left the country are recalled.
M. Thiers loves Greece, its arts, and its ruins, but M. Thiers
would not have it love constitutions, liberty, and independence.
He often says, " If I had been in office when Greece was
,made royal, I would have opposed it, but now it must be what
it can be without the Bavarians, and with real nationality. I
do not conceive it otherwise." Yet their libeitl explanations
have not satisfied the Bavarian Minister, and the conference
broke up. M. Thiers is to wait on the King ; the Ministers
of Bavaria and Greece are to write to Munich and London.

The Marquis de Latour Maccbourgh, Ambassador of
France to the Holy See, has left Rome to meet the French
Princes at Milan.—Massager, June 19.

Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion for a Reform of the
House of Lords, has been put off to Thursday the
30th inst.

We have received a pamphlet, under the title of a
" View of the State of Pauperism in Ireland, its Evils,
and its Remedies," which, in an appendiX to a second
edition, places in a strong, and doubtless to most of
our readers, a new, light, the outrageous proceeding
that is now going forward in the amendments to the
Irish Municipal Bill. It shows, most convincingly,
that the plan there proposed is not only a positive vio-
lation of the common principles of justice ; but that it
miltates most strongly against the dictates of prudence,
and even of common sense. We have room but for the
following extract :

" The plan, that has been brought forward as a substitute
for that of the Government, of extinguishing the rights of
the present Corporate bodies, of taking out of their own
hands the property they possess, and of placing the manage-
ment of it in those of a Commission, chosen by the exe-
cutive power of the kingdom, is so revolting to all those
feelings which do honour to human nature, so repugnant to
the deeply implanted in us principles of justice, so subversive
of the interests of the whole Irish community, Protestants
as well as Catholics, that it seems almost impossible that it
can ever be assented to by the country at large.
" The right which these bodies have over their own funds
is based on the same principles aq those on which every
man holds his own property; and also the full, free, and
uncontrolled management of it; if such be not injurious and
dangerous to the good of the whole. These rights cannot
be extinguished nor the power over them taken away, unless
for some specific, act -of delinquency, or incompetency. If
offences against the law are committed ; if the reason be-
comes so disturbed, as to render it useless to the proprietor
and dasigerous to others, private rights arc then sacrificed to
or to the vr tiic individual 141.1.,..11..
But here there is not one sweeping power under which all
cases of disability are indiscriminately included, but it is ex-
pressly provided for in what, and in what only, the individu I
is placed out of the pale of the Constitution, and under the
ban of fOrfeiture. The law here very properly steps in as
the shield of the public, and also the protector of imbecility,
or the punisher of crime. In cases of bankruptcy a corn,
mission may be taken out ; where the mind by derangement
has become unfitted for the ordinary transactions of life, a
statute of lunacy may be issued ; where offences against the
peace and happiness of society have been committed, a sen-
tence of outlawry may be passed. Can it be expected, that
the Irish, with that "magnificent and fiery spirit" for which
that people are almost proverbially famous even to rashness,
will patiently submit to be treated like a bankrupt, like a lu-
natic, like a felon; that they should be classed with the
meanest, the most miserable, the very outcasts of mankind ;
that what the English law allows to the very lowest of her
subjects should be denied to them ; that their rights over
their property should he abstracted from them by arbitrary
edicts without any overwhelming necessity? Let those who
advocate such things look into a book that contains more in-
formation on civil jurisprudence than any which Grotius or
Puffendorf ever wrote ; one which, although it relates to the
" lux non scripta," speaks home truths to all classes, of all
ages, and all parties ; one which is more searching in its
properties, more just in its principles, more comprehensive in
its matter, than any which ever came from mortal pen ; let
him take a leaf out of the book of human nature ; and having
studied that, let him then ask himself, what would be his own
feelings if he was so treated ; what would be his indignation if
such an indignity was put upon him ; what would be his note
of exclamation, if the broad stamp of fatuity or infamy was
indelibly impressed upon him, without any adequate cause, or
without any fault of his own ?"
