not these noisy malcontents, the Sabbatarians, require
every member of their household to attend Divine
service on Sunday mornings ? if they leave
their dwellings to be robbed at pleasure
by any irreligious burglar ? or if, on' the
contrary, they do not themselves proceed
to church, leaving some servant at home by way of
security ? If they are so very punctilious in their
sanctity, at least they might be consistent. Do they
prohibit the shoe-black from polishing their boots, or
from cleaning their knives between Saturday night
and Monday morning ? Are their cooks relieved
from all servile work within the same interval—
required to light no fires, to boil no water,
to toast no bread, to roast no joints, to fabri•
cate no puddings ? Really the frivolity of
the whole proceeding is beyond all serious argu-
ment. And in testimony of this, in proof of the
exquisitely ridiculous inconsistency of the Sabbata-
rians, we transcribe from Mr. JOHN O'Commu.'s
recently published " Recollections, Scc." (Vol. 1., p.

" Sir Andrew was the target of many shafts, for the
exemptions which his measures reserved for the Sabbath
pleasures of the rich; while they camp down with a
heavy hand upon the scanty enjoyments, and even com•
mon comforts of the humbler classes. But no rebuff, no
sarcasm, no sharp commentary seemed to daunt or affect
him, till Mr. Ward, the present Secretary to the Admi-
ralty, brought against him the soft, but undeniable im-
peachment, that he had been seen travelling in a public
coach himself; in one of those very vehicles, whose
1 momution on Sundays he had denounced as sinful,
while entirely silent as to private carriages; and further-
more, that when the coach stopped for dinner, he had
ordered a special beefsteak for himself; thus causing
servile work to be done, in flagrant violation of the
spirit and teachings of his own legislative essays."
Throughout the recent movement against the new

The Irish Executive has discharged an act of
public duty, which will be hailed with satisfaction by
every right-thinking man in the British isles. The
Orange magistrates, who manifested such real or
affected ignorance of the laws of the land in the
investigation of the Dolly's Brae massacre, have been
removed from the commission of the peace. Stern
justice and sound policy alike demanded
.this manly,
straightforward course ; and we know no act,
which State necessity required, more calculated than
this is to give to the able administration of Lord
CLARENDON the impress of equal and impartial justice.
The Orange magistrates of Castlewellan were either
really ignorant of the laws which they were bound
to administer, or they were so besotted with bigotry
as to misinterpret them—in either case they were to-
'tally unfit to hold the high offices with which they were
entrusted ; and we hope the Lord Chancellor's
supersedeas has ere this relieved all the clerical
justices who figured on the same occasion from their
magisterial functions, and enabled them to devote
more of their time to the exercise of their holy calling.
Scenes of strife and blood are not meet places for the
priests of a religion of peace ; the sword is an un-
seemly weapon in the hands of a minister of the faith
of CHRIST, whose most earnest precept was that "ye
love one another."

When, on a former occasion through the columns
of this journal, we energetically called upon the Irish
Government for the dismissal of those men, we gave
expression to the feelings of regret we felt for the
position of Lord RODEN. We felt no sympathy with
the unchristian fury of political parsons ; they
should be made to feel the power of those laws which
they disregarded and abused. The nauseous and
frothy efervescence of Mr. BEER'S bigotry
should not be allowed to evaporate from
the seat of justice. It is much better
suited to the wayside Shebeen of some jovial brother,
where, in their midnight orgies, he may join the
worthy fraternity in offering unholy sacrifice to the
demon of bygone feuds. With such men as these
we have no sympathies, but we confess we do feel
a degree of sadness at the melancholy fate of the
venerable nobleman of many years, and many virtues,
upon whose declining age these wretched parasites
have brought the marks of dishonour.

The creeping parasites in the vegetable world,
unable to sustain themselves, will twine round some
noble tree, sapping its vitality until they leave it a
withered and useless trunk ; so have those parasitical
weeds of Ulster twined round this time-honoured
Nobleman," till they have stripped him of the honours
due to his station and his virtues." But while
the age and virtues of Lord RODEN awaken our
sympathies, the rigid justice with which his
offence has been visited calls for our warmest com-
mendation ; we feel that grey hairs cannot sanctify
crime, or make folly respectable ; we feel that the ami-
abilities of private life cannot and should not shield a

man from the consequences of his public wrongs, and

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The trials at Versailles seem to excite scarcely any
interest.

The split between the PRESIDENT of the Republic
and the Legitimatists is said to be complete. The
PRESIDENT, who has become completely aware of
their intrigues has, it is said, resolved to expel
them altogether from his councils.
The Constitutionnel has a furious attack on the
Debats on account of the publication by the latter
of the proceedings before the committee on the
affairs of Rome. It is evidently from the pen of M.
TITTERS, and would seem to prove the-existence of
some still further split in the ranks of the reac-

tonaries :
" The Journal des Debats which, as its antecedents ea

plain, is a better Republican than we, yesterday published
an account which is perfectly incorrect, of what took place
in the committee on the credits for the Roman expedi-
tion. There is in its recital one of those underhand
attacks which it too often directs, no one knows why,
against one of the most energetic defenders of society.
One may not partake in the opinions of M. Thiers ; but
it is to do more wrong to oneself than to him to impute
to him ridiculous opinions. This, nevertheless, is what
the Debats does in its report of the proceedings of the
committee. The words which it puts in the mouth of
M. Thiers are ridiculously false, and we have no neces-
sity to affirm that that gentleman did not utter a word
of what it imputes to him. Besides, an opportunity will
soon present itself for hearing what he has to say on the
subject, and it will be seen that what he said, instead of
being a foolish exaggeration, is marked by truth and
good sense. We warn the Del ats that the member of
the committee who furnished it the information has been
guilty of two things—falsehood and breach of faith; for
he has stated what did not occur, and he bad, like all
the other members of the committee, engaged himself
not to reveal what took place during a discussion with
closed doors."

M. DE TOCQUEVILLE, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, gave a public assurance yesterday that he
had received no intelligence from Naples of the
occurrence of any disturbances, neither did he en-
tertain any apprehensions that any such had occurred.
Count LADISLAS TELEX' has addressed the follow-
ing letter to the editor of the Dix Decemere, in
answer,to,the attacks upon the Hungarians which hare
recently appeared in that journal
" Monsieur,—ln your publication of Oct. 4, I find the
following words:—' Is it this Hungary, so little worthy
of her heroes, that all Europe would have supported
with transports of holy enthusiasm, had she addressed
herself to what constitutes the true strength of Europe,
the party of order and of progress ? Is it the fault of
the President of the Republic, if the letters addressed to
the Government by the Hungarians were only the mis-
interpretation and the reverse of those previously ad
dressed to the red committees, who were consulted and
supplicated before France?'
As regards Hungary,
_I desire not to discuss the

question Whether or not -she is worthy of her heroes.
Hungary, Monsieur, has laid herself bare in the face of
the world. The world has seen her struggling and
bleeding. The world knows what she has been. A
constitution has existed for eight centuries; that consti-
tution has maintained itself amidst great vicissitudes; it
has equally resisted the invasions of barbarism and the
encroachments of despotism. It has developed itself in
accordance with the spirit of the present age, and that
without disorder, without popular risings, without dan-
gerous symptoms of any kind. Had this constitution
vitality, or, regarding the very interests of civilization,
was it to be overthrown ? A nation had arisen as one
man for the defence of her time-hallowed institutions, of
her laws, and of ;her legally-guaranteed independenee.
She triumphed over one powerful enemy; she has been
the victim of a coalition of two great powers. Was this
a nation of cowards, or of revolutionists ? Was this a
nation to be crushed, to be deprived of the inheritance
of her fathers, and this in the interest of a society based
upon family and property ? The question will soon be
answered, if indeed it be not already answered.
"Truth, Monsieur, will come to light, will dissipate
unjust impediments, and Hungary will be judged of as
she has been, and not as people shall have wished to
make her appear. Those are strong, Monsieur, who are
without reproach; and who have the right to stand before
the pan of history within sight of that other immortality
whose view, though it gives no consolation, gives repose.
No; what concerns Hungary in the above passage cannot
form the subject of any opposition on my part. For
the rest, there is but one opinion. But it is not so as
regards me personally. It is evident that if the letters
addressed to the Government by the Hungarians were
only the misinterpretation and the reverse of those pre-
viously addressed to the red committees who were con-
sulted and supplicated before France,' a 3 is asserted in
the article in question, it is I alone who am responsible,
because I was the sole representative of the Hungarian
Government in France; and if the Hungarians deserve
to be taxed with duplicity and manoeuvring in their
relations with France, there can be but one guilty party,
and that one must be myself. This, therefore, is an ac
cusation from which it is necessary for me to clear my-
self; and you will allow me to ask upon what it is
founded. All that I have said, and all I have written,
since I came to France, could tend but to one end—that
of bringing out the Hungarian question in its true light,
I and of showing Hungary as I know her to be, attached
to her past, strong in her good right, and the champion
of loyalty, order, and true liberty. I have sought to ar-
rive at this result by means of notes addressed to the
Government and by publications; but I have never ad-
dressed myself to committees of any party. I have al-
ways felt that I ought and could address myself only to
the Government and to France; and I accept the respon-
sibility of every one of nay words. Let a single one be
cited against me in proof of duplicity, and of intercourse
with party committees, et victus dabo snanus. But,
meanwhile, you will allow me, Monsieur, to affirm re-

that Lord CLARENDON has but done an act of solemn
justice in dismissing from the commission of the peace
the Orange magistrates of Castlewellan.
We remember when many of the gentry
of Ireland were dismissed from the commission
of the peace for merely joining an associa
tion, the professed object of which was the
repeal of an Act of Parliament by legal and con-
stitutional means—an Act too which the majority
of the people of that country believed injurious to
their interests, and the repeal of which
they were led to believe would prove a
panacea for all their wrongs and sufferings.
There was no violation of the laws, no open defiance
of the Government, yet any magistrate who sent his
adhesion to this body was forthwith unhesitatingly
struck off the magisterial list by a predecessor of
the present Viceroy. Could then Lord CLAEENDON
allow the magistrates of Castlewellan to parade at
the head of an infuriated, armed, and illegal mob
with impunity ? Could he, with a shadow of a show
of justice, or with the smallest claim to an impartial
administration of the laws, allow those men to go
unpunished—men who first openly instigate to

crime, and then indecently use the powers with
wbich they were entrusted to turn aside the sword of
justice ? No, Lord CLARENDON has acted with
courage and wisdom ; social order, impartial justice,
the peace of Ireland demanded that the majesty of the
law should be vindicated in Down as well as in
Tipperary, and that the besotted bigots of Castle-
wellau should receive as wholesome a lesson of obe-
dience to the laws as the insane conspirators of
Ballingarry.

The following decree bringing into force the new
tariff appears in the Gaeta:—
" Art. 1. The customs tariff, which accompanies this
decree, reformed on the bases of the law of the 17th
July last, and in which are included the articles of the
cotton manufactures fixed by Art. 2 of the same law, is
approved of. Art. 2. For the present, and without pre-
judice to what may hereafter be determined, the said
articles of cotton manufactures shall be admitted into the
Peninsula and the Balearic Islands by the following
maritime custom. houses:--St. Sebastian, Santander, Co-
runna, Cadiz, Malaga. Almeria, Carthagena, Alicante,
Valencia, Barcelona, Palma, and Mahon. Art. 3. The
customs depots of non-prohibited goods which now
exist are preserved, with the exception of those
which do not yield sufficient to cover their
expenses. The depot duty shall remain as at pre-
sent fixed. Art. 4. In conformity with clause 5 of the
law, there shall be established in the ports of Corunna,
Cadiz, and Mahon, general entrepots of goods. Art. 5.
I❑ order that the dispositions of the new tariff may come
into effect in all the custom-houses, tho following periods
are fixed from the date of the publication of the royal
decree in the Madrid Gazette:—Fifteen days for the
export tariffs ; a month for the importation of cotton
goods, from whatever part they may arrive; two months
for the general tariff applied to the productions of

23,000 men, most of diem raw and undisciplined

with their accustomed bravery, but were of course
vanquished by the superior numbers and discipline of
WILLIAM'S troops, composed as it was of veterans of
the greatest number of nations that ever before or

since fought for or against the British Crown. The
lands of the vanquished were confiscated and divided
amongst the victors. The broad acres of the faithful
and loyal Irish became the spoil of this mongrel
army, and we have no wish to disturb their descen-
dants in their quiet possessions ; we would but say to
them, " eat your puddings, fools, and hold your
tongues." The issue of this battle was no doubt
productive of glorious results, in placing the British
Crown upon a fixed and enduring foundation; but

Perhaps a knowledge of these truths, if they will but
learn ,them, would induce them to give up these
foolish and unmeaning processions. A plantation of
two centuries ought to become racy of the soil. It
is time the Orangemen of Ulster should forget their
foreign ancestry, and remember the rich and
interesting land of their birth. It is time
they should feel they are now and for
ever Irish. It is time they should join the true and
loyal in a glorious effort to raise their prostrate
country. If they will do this none will more heartily
rejoice than we shall; if they will not—if they will
still keep alive the recollection of old feuds, that lead
to strife and blood, none will more loudly call down
upon them the strong arm of the law. Dissension
must cease in the land, the days of an unjust ascen-
dancy are passed away for ever. Orangeman and
Ribbonman must alike understand that Ireland is in
future to be governed by equal laws and equal rights,
without distinction of sect, or class, or creed. After
centuries of misrule Irish legislation has taken a
step in the right direction. Let us hope, then, iden-
tity of interests will combine all Irishmen in the
bonds of peaceful brotherhood for the benefit of their
common country. By such a holy union they would
secure the blessings from GOD and justice from man ;
heal the wounds of their bleeding country, and
bring peace, content, and happiness to their hearths
and homes.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 20,000 bales, including 1,000 American and
4,000 Brazil on speculation. Compared with Friday's
rates, prices of American are id. to 4d. per lb., Brazil
nearly as much, and Surat and Egyptian id. per lb.
dearer. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 10,000
Brazil, at 6d. to 6j1.; 1,000 Egyptian, at 6d. to 604
600 Surat, at 44d. to 41d.; and 300 Sea Island, at 11d.
to ls. 3d. pot' lb. The market closed tamely for short
staples, but firm for other sorts.—ln Railway Shares a
limited business was done, and prices had a downward
tendency.
The Corn Market is steady to-day. The arrivals are
small of foreign grain, if we except wheat.
There is again no foreign intelligence of interest in a
commercial point of view, but we may mention, by the
way, that the idea propagated with respect to the.pro-
bable adhesion of Hamburgh to the Zollverem is
not deemed of much weight in the best in-
formed circles here. Indeed, we have had
the opportunity this morning of conversing with a gen-
tleman who has just re turned from Frankfort, and who,
by the way, describes trade as being very active, and the
result is, that the step is much more unlikely than many
would have us infer. The salvation of Hamburgh de-
pends upon its adherence to free trade principles,
and we shall see if its magnificent foreign com-
merce will be lightly thrown to the winds,
merely for the doubtful advantage of conciliating the
duty-ridden states that surround it.
The quantity of produce offered this week at the
public sales has been moderato, but to-day more is
pressing on the market, and there has throughout
been a disposition to sell. This is especially
the case with Coffee, which is decidedly lower.
The articles most in favour have been Cotton
and Indigo, and in the former the specula
tion has been excessive, and such as to lead to the im-
pression that a reaction must occur. The manufao
turers obviously cannot afford to pay such enhanced
values, unless they get much more for their goods.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
A FLAW IN THE NEW ACT.—The new Bankruptcy
Act came into operation this morning, and several pe-
titions were filed in accordance with it. In the course
of the morning his Honour observed that there was a
most important omission in one of the clauses, which di-
rected that the bankrupt should be examined on his
declaration in lieu of an oath, but did not give any
power of commitment in the event of his refusing to
make the declaration. All that the Commissioner could
do was to refuse the certificate.

Mr. CooKE said that the making the declaration was
precedent to any proceeding by the bankrupt, and that
he was bound to take it. . _ _

His HONOUR said it was very true that the refusal to
comply with the Act of Parliament was an indictable
offence.

rupt was described as of Albion-place, Ramsgate, music
seller. The debts amount to 450 L, assets nil.
Mr. BEARD, clerk to Mr. Buchanan, now applied for
bankrupt to be allowed to pass his last examination.
The bankrupt's losses had principally been on two con-
certs he had given. By one, in 1848, he lost 701., and
in 1849, 631.
There was no opposition, and the bankrupt passed.

—lt appeared from the evidence of Hill, one of the Hu-
mane Society's watermen, that on the previous morning,
about eight o'clock, he was on duty near the society's
house, when be was called by the superintendent, who
informed him that a female had thrown herself into the
river, and was struggling for her life. He immediately
got out the boat, and rowed to the spot, where he caught
hold of the defendant just as she was in the act of sink-
ing, and pulled ber out of the water. She was then con-
veyed to the society's receiving house and placed in a
warm bath. After rensain'ag there some time she so far
recovered as to inform him where she and her friends
resided. He immediately communicated with them,
and they were now present and would gladly take charge
of her.
Mr. BINGHAM directed her to be delivered over to the
care of her friends, and remonstrated with her on the
sin of attempting self-destruction.
Defendant then left the court with her friends, who
had a carriage with livery servants waiting at the door
for them.
