furnishes a mournful example; for despite the indis-
putable ability of Dr. LYNCH, he has fallen without
leaving any provision for his immediate family, and
he has fallen, too, in leading on the forlorn hope which
is, year after year,. adventured against metropolitan
contagion. Latterly, we have had to chronicle many
noble, and almost sublime, instances of heroism among
the clergy, and especially among the Catholic priest-
hood at Leeds and Liverpool—instances in which
men have willingly sacrificed their own lives by car-
rying the consolation of religion to the deathbeds of
those stricken down by deadly and contagious mala-
dies. The like heroism is continually shown among
the labouring class of physicians. The members of
that perillous profession are exposed perpetually to the
ravages of malignant fevers, and Dr. LYNCH is by no
means a solitary victim of the evil system in opposing
which he exerted his talents, devoted his time, ne-
glected his fortunes, and sacrificed his life. He is,
unfortunately, only a more distinguished instance of
the precarious tenure of existence in his profession, and
of the deplorable consequences of the procrastination
of sanitary reform. It is for these reasons that we
most cordially sympathise in the earnest hope ex-
pressed by Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, that whatever
recompense can be given will be afforded, and
thereby prove that the people are at last " begin-
ning to recognise their true benefactors."

Well, Young Ireland has at length triumphed, and
the advocate of physical force has been returned for
the county of Limerick as a fitting companion for
the Tory. The contest was in every respect a
severe one, and the- result may be attributed to the
extraordinary coalition that took place between the
Conservatives and Young Irelanders. The extremes
have, indeed, met, and the most violent on either
side united their forces, in order to exclude the com-
paratively moderate men. It is difficult to under-
stand by what process of reasoning the parties were
enabled to satisfy themselves of the propriety of such
a course, or what could have been the end or object
proposed to be attained thereby. It is, however,
certain that the policy has not been limited to one
locality or district, but that it has spread throughout
the entire country. Conservative Young Irelanders
are springing up on every side, and a
plenary absolution is readily afforded to all
former sins; nay, they are suffered to retain
their ancient political predilections, provided they give
in their adhesion to the splendid phantom, and declare
themselves converts to Repeal. In Wexford, Mr.
GRO6AN MoRGAN, who at the last general election
came forward as an ultra-Tory, and was then de-
feated by a majority of 879 to 450, is permitted to
walk over the course in company with the Repeal
candidate, and the moment after he is declared to be
the representative for his native county pro-
fessed himself to he a Repealer, and vowed " by the
ashes of the deceased Liberator never to be false to
Ireland." In Clare, too, we find Sir Lucius O'BRIEN
the Conservative candidate, placed at the head of the
poll by a large majority, while at the last election
Mr. C. O'BRIEN who has just been defeated, was re-
turned in opposition to Mr. CaorroN MOORE VAN-
DELEUR, the seconder of Sir Lucius O'BRIEN on the
present occasion, and the representative of the same
party, by a majority of 1,072 to 223. In Carlow,
where the electors had been more closely balanced,
probably than in any other part of Ireland, the Con-
servatives are re-elected without opposition, while in
the county of Cork, the Yorkshire of Ireland, the re-
pealers are dealt with in a similar manner. In Gal-
way county, Mr. MANSERGH ST. GEORGE, an ultra-
Tory, gets in without a contest. In Kildare, Mr.
JOHN AUGUSTUS O'NEIL, who represented Hull
from 1826 to 1830, and in that capacity
made some of the most violent speeches in opposition
to the emancipation of our Roman Catholic brethren,
is strenuously supported by the priests of whom he
was formerly the strongest opponent. He has, how-
ever, discovered the error of his former ways, and
has read an unconditional recantation, beiug now as
violent on one side as he formerly was on the other.
Mr. BOURKE, the nephew and heir presumptive of
the Earl of MAYO, who like Mr. MONSELL was a
prominent member of the Irish party, although an
ultra-Tory, i 3 the rival candidate. In Kilkenny
four Repealers have started, and the gentleman
who comes forward as a Conservative Repealer,
Mr. HELY, as yet is in a majority, and
a close contest is maintained between Mr.
P. S. BUTLER, the famous Repeal Member (who
strangely enough grounds his claims to the suffrages
of the electors on the fact that at least fifty of his
family have from time to time suffered the extreme
penalty of the law under the hangman's hands) ; and
Mr. GREENE, nephew to Mr. GROGAN MORGAN, the
Member for Wexford, who formerly held a commis-
sion in a dragoon regiment. Mr. GREENE has only
recently been. an avowed Repealer, but we believe,
from his earliest boyhood, he has been a consistent
Liberal, and that it was the fact of his connexion
with the service which alone prevented him from
declaring his opinions on the repeal question at an
earlier period.

It is scarcely necessary to cite additional instances.
We shall only adduce one case more, that of Youghal,
where Mr. CUISUOLII ANSTY, the Repeal candidate,
owed his success, in a great degree, to the course
adopted by the Conservative electors. Strange as
these things may appear, the line of argument used
by the ultra-Tory press is not less striking. They
speak of the advance of Repeal doctrines. They do
not claim the returns for Clare and Limerick as triumphs
for their own party, but a isert that they furnish
decided proof of the progress of Repeal, although in
the first Sir Lucius O'BRIEN, an avowed Conserva-
tive, is substituted for Mr. C. O'BRIEN, and in the latter
Mr. MONSELL for Mr. CALEB POWELL, the victorious
candidates being at least nominal Conservatives, while
the rejected ones have long been members of Conci-
liation Hall, and were supported with all its influ-
ence. Again, the honesty and sincerity of Mr.
SMITII O'BRIEN and the Young Irelanders are spoken
of in laudatory terms in the same journal. This will
afford the only probable solution to the difficulty.
The Tories are anxious to embarrass the Government,
tr) prevent the measures for the benefit of Ireland
that are contemplated from passing into a law. They
care not by what means their object is achieved,
provided they can succeed in so doing. Hence
Repealers are preferred to \\ higs. They desire that
it should be believed that a great accession of strength
has been gained by that party, in order that Govern-
ment may be induced to seek assistance at their
hands, and to retrace their footsteps in the path of
liberality. They are, however, greatly mistaken in
this opinion. Her MAJESTY'S Ministers are too
sincere in their determination to improve the condi-
tion of Ireland to suffer it again to be placed in the
hands of the faction to whose misgovernment its chief
evils are ascribable, to fall into such a trap. They
will proceed in their honourable course, well assured
that they deserve, and will ultimately obtain, the
grateful thanks and the cordial support of the Irish
people.

We are rejoiced to find that Lord PALMERSTON is
following up the Greek defaulting Government with
proper spirit.
bine Augsburg- Gazette has the following from
Ancona, dated the sth :
"It was hoped at Athens that Sir E. Lyons would
grant a respite to the Government after receiving the
i,ooo/. that he had called for. This hope was ill
tp
ounded. It is now known that he has demanded the
196,0001. of 1844."
Madrid

papers of the 11 th have arrived.
It is said the Senor PACIIECO has declared that he
will retire from office unless a reconciliation takes
place between the QUEEN and her husband. In the
event of his retiring SALAMANCA Would be called on to
form a Cabinet.

An authorisation has been granted to General
LINAGE, the friend and aide-de-camp of EsPAuTcuo,
to reside in Madrid.

The Barcelona mail did not arrive in Madrid on
the 10th, as it had been stopped by some of the Car-
list bands, which swarm in Catalonia. The Carlists
have taken the town of Alcovar, and held possession
of it when the last accounts were received. Letters
from Corunna state that Carlist bands have appeared

in the neighbourhood of that city, and that others are
expected to enter Galicia from Portugal.

We have received such of the Paris papers as were
published :on Monday, but it being the_Feast of the
Assumption none of the Legitimatist or Ministerial
papers appeared on that day. In an article on the
affairs of Italy, the National denounces the occupa-
tion of Ferrara by the Austrians as an infringement
of the Treaty of Vienna, an invasion of Italy by
Austria of a similar nature to that against which
France declared in 1831, and to prevent which she
occupies Ancona, and appeals to the Government of
France to demand from INLIETTERNICH the recal of
the Austrian troops or to come forward to the assist-
ance of the Government of Rome. " But," it adds,
" this appeal is in vain. We know it well. The
only effect produced on you (the Government), by
the events at Ferrara will be to cause you once more
to change your language and your conduct. It is
scarcely a month since your diplomatists were con-
spiring against the Liberals and the POPE, with the
Austrian Ambassador, the Jesuits, and the Gregorian
Cardinals. A speech from Lord PALMERSTON and an
article in the Times then caused you uneasiness, and
you deserted the flag of the retrogrades to run after
the moderates. At present Austria holds the most
energetic language, and you will consequently return
to Austria. Such were you yesterday—such are
you at present—and such you will be. 111-advises
must those be who pay any attention to your words
or to your promises. After deceptive illu-
sions comes cruel disappointment. Let this be known
at Rome if it have not reached there already."
The National is' right—the appeal to the French
Government is in vain. The national interests of
France are on every occasion sacrificed unhesitatingly
to the personal interests of the dynasty, and Austria
will be permitted, without protest, nay, even if need
be, aided in crushing the cause of liberty and pro-
gress in Switzerland and Italy, and thus inclosing
France in a net work of absolutism, as the price of
her connivance at the intrigues which are in progress
to enable a Prince of the house of Orleans to usurp
the throne of Spain. We are rejoiced to find, how-
ever, that the French people are at length beginning
to awaken from their lethargy, and that although the
French Government may continue to repudiate its
origin, by pursuing a counter-revolutionary policy,
that the French nation is prepared to act in such a
manner as shall prove that the people do not share in
the feelings of, and ought not to be confounded with,
their rulers. Notwithstanding the aid the French
Government is prepared to render to Austria and the
Jesuits in Switzerland, the French people are deter-
mined to assist the Swiss Liberals in their defence of
the cause of nationality, freedom, and progress.
The Mouche of Macon announces the formation of
Swiss committees in Paris, Lyons, Bourg, Besanyon,
Strasburg, and Grenoble, on the plan of the Polish
committees. In case war be provoked by Austria or
Piedmont, those committees will give the aid of re-
volutionary France to Switzerland, which they regard
as the representative of the cause of the people.
" If," says the Mouche, " Poland is too distant to be
succoured except by good wishes, Switzerland is at
our gates ; it is the interest of France of July not to
suffer herself to be inclosed in a net which absolutism
is weaving around her. The French people ought to
surround themselves by free nations who can sympa-
thise with her, and we trust that regenerated Swit-
zerland will no longer supply despots with satellites
for bire."

The Opposition journals continue to bring charges
of corruption against the Ministry with greater bold-
ness than ever. The Courtier Franfais thus con-
cludes an article on this subject :—" The Ministry
make a mockery of the law. Does not the law make
it a duty for it to prosecute a journal that accuses it?
Let us see whether it will prosecute the Courtier
Francais."
If the Ministry refuse to accept this challenge it
will be a plea of guilty to all the charges of corrup.
tion that have been brought against it. But there is
a power mightier than the power of the Ministry,
which forbids inquiry into these matters. "In the
last session," says the National, ‘4 General TUzasL•
cmpllatioally. declared that. he would place hitllti
self at the head of the crusade against
peculators and corruptionists. Poor man ! he
really and seriously believed in the independence of
his position as Minister. He had not taken into his
calculation that occult power which bears with •such
weight on the Ministries of War and of Marine more
especially." After reading this article, we cease to
wonder at the corruption which pervades the whole
administrative system of France.
We find the following in the Constitutionnel on the
subject of the Haytian loan

" During the last fortnight that M. Levasseur, Consul-
General of Hayti, has been in Paris, conferences have
been going on at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs, with the
Charge d'Affaire of the republic. We have already
stated that thirty-three thousand French creditors,
whether on the score of indemnity or as bearers of de-
bentures of the loan furnished to the Government of
Hayti, on the recommendation of our Government, are
interested in learning the arrangement entered into, and
the conditions agreed on for carrying it out. May it not
be, for instance, with a view to throw back as far
as possible this execution, that are to be attributed
the unfavourable news lately given by some of the United
States journals relative to the harvest, the finances, in a
word, the present situation of Hayti, contrary to what
was hoped for the speedy payment of a part of the debt
due by that republic to France?"

Bushman has been exhibiting signs of great moroseness
and stubbornness, and with difficulty could be got to
move. However, whilst Mr. Tyler was on Friday last
endeavouring to induce the savage to go through the
dance he turned suddenly round and bit him in the
hand. At first the pain was severely acute, but by the
administration of an external application the irritation
was allayed. Mr. Tyler continues to suffer at times
from the brutal act of this South African bushranger.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. '
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cottton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
steady. Sales 2,500 bales, of which 2,400 were Ameri-
can, at 60. to 74d. per lb. Railway Shares continued
in a depressed state, owing to the less favourable report
from London.
There are no later ship arrivals to-day with news of
interest, nor can we expect yet any steamer from
America. The Washington will probably be the next.
In Mark-lane, this morning, Corn is steady at about
Monday's rates ; and the rains that have fallen, are not
considered to be prejudicial to the corn, while the green
crops are likely to be greatly benefitted.
Exertions are making in the City to establish a
systemlof steam communication with India and Aus-
tralia, under the auspices of many of our leading men.
In enforcement of the proposal it is stated that India,
Australia, China, and the adjacent regions contain a
population of more than half the number of the inha-
bitants of the globe; and teem with every product which
can minister to the wants of man. Whatever brings their
varied commercial resources into rapid and cheap com-
munication with the energy, skill, and capital of Western
Europe must be highly beneficial, and contribute to the
wealth, civilization, and happiness of the world.
" To carry out effectually and economically steam
communication with these countries is the object of this
company, for whose operations there is an ample and
profitable field, irrespective of an existing interest, espe-
cially as regards our numerous and valuable colonies in
the Southern Pacifb, which have an increasing
intercourse with India as well as with England,
are the only portions of the British empire un-
connected by steam navigation with the parent State,
and for which a charter by the overland route has been
exclusively granted to this company.
" The importance to Great Britain of steam communi-
cation with India cannot be too highly appreciated.

between Europe and Asia, and which will ultimately
constitute the personal communication with Australia.
" Important, however, as is this route to Great Bri-
trian, many of the European nations consider that it
promises to be of still greater consequence to them, for
it has already given the facility of acquiring accurate in-
formation of our Indian possessions, and the knowledge
thus acquired has excited their merchants to watch with
attention for any opportunity which will enable them to
participate in the trade of the east.
"Should Great Britain be engaged in war with any
European power, every attempt would doubtless be made
to interrupt our communication with India, &c , through
the Mediterranean ; and should any such interruption
take place, it might seriously affect the security of our
Eastern possessions. On the other hand, the introduc-
tion of additional steam communication would prove of
inestimable importance to Great Britain, by affording
the means of transporting her warlike forces and stores
from Europe to Asia, or from Asia to Europe, with the
greatest possible celerity ; and a rapid means of inter-
course between India an Europe, by either the Red
Sea and Egypt, or by the Persian Gulf and Syria, would
multiply the resources of Great Britain, and secure the
defences of her distant territories.
" If a line was drawn along the route from London to
Australia it would be found to pass through many of
the richest and most populous countries of the world ;
the production of articles at each end and along the line
which are consumed throughout its whole extent is very
great, and at no distant periods depots for trade
will probably be established, and if not formed by Great
Britain will be occupied by foreigners • it is, therefore,
self evident that British capital and skill ought to be
devoted without delay to pre-occupy this channel for
employment.
" It only remains to state, that British interests impe-
ratively require an additional service of colonial
steamers between England, Gibraltar, Malta, and the
East of Europe, as also in the Indian and Pacific
Oceans, which should carry passengers and merchandise
at the lowest possible rates consistent with comfort, se-
curity, and dispatch."
The Public Securities have recovered a little from
the depression of yesterday, and fluctuated merely from
the turn of the market. There has been no further
pressure of money stock on the market. Consols have
realised 861 to 87 for Transfer, and 86-1, to 87k for
Account. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. discount to

about late yesterday atternoon, and if correct would
have been confirmed ere this.

THE MILITARY COLONIZATION OF NEW ZEALAND.
—Upwards of 300 of the out-pensioners of Chelsea
Hospital, together with their wives and families, will
embark from Belfast for Auckland, in New Zealand, in
the course or a few days.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. S. F. RAMSEY,
MINISTER OF ST. MICHAEL'S, STRAND.—The parishio-
ners of St. Alt-..rtin's-in the-Fields, and other friends of
Mr. Ramsey, assembled in the vestry-room of that parish
yesterday, to present to that gentleman a testimonial of
their high esteem for his character, and their detestation
of the attack which recently, by Mr. Ramsey's manly
conduct in openly vindicating his innocence, met so
signal a defeat in the Court of Queen's Bench. Imme-
diately after the trial his friends entered into a sub-
scription with this result, that the whole of the costs of
trial (6001.) have been paid, and a surplus accrued suf-
ficient to purchase a very handsome silver vase, which,
with a purse of 230 sovereigns, was yesterday presented
to the Rev. Gentleman by the Rev. Sir 11. Dukinfield,
Bart., vicar, in the presence of a crowded meeting of the
most distinguished parishioners and their families.
A letter from Rome, of the 3d, in the Augsburg
Gazette, states that a new conspiracy in that city has

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-WEDNESDAY
A very limited quantity of English Wheat has come
to hand since Monday. To-day, scarcely any samples
were on offer-; and we havo to report a steady, though
not to say brisk, demand fur most descriptions, at very
full prices. There was rather more inquiry for the best
foreign Wheats, at fully previous quotations ; but the
middling and inferior kinds were quite neglec. ed. Barley,
though in short supply, was very dull, at barely late
figures. In Malt next to nothing was doing ; in prices,
however, we have no alteratio❑ to notice. The imports
of foreign Oats having been very extensive, the trade
ruled dull, at a fall in value of quite 6d per quarter.
All other articles of grain, including Flour, were very
heavy, at almost nominal quotations.
