In commenting on the rumoured appointment of an
English Bishop to the See of Jerusalem, the Times has
these observations :—" If the views of our bishops in
this matter are really such .as they have been repre-
sented to be (and we cannot doubt it), it does seem not a
little extraordinary, that Jerusalem rather than Con-
stantinople should have been selected as the place for
the new prelate's residence ; that (in combination with
that circumstance) a clergyman of the Jewish race should
have been selected for the bishop ; and, lastly, that the
plan should have originated with the King of Prussia."—
It does indeed seem extraordinaryZthat a clergyman of the
Jewish race should have been selected for the Bishop--
so extraordinary that we cannot bring ourselves to be-
lieve the rumour. How can a prelate, who, being of the
Jewish race, must necessarily have strong sympathies
with the Jews, acquit himself as au exemplary Christian
pastor ? Duty will suggest one line of conduct, old
family associations another. At every step of his Epis-
copal career he will be hampered with his Israelitish
connections ; and the inevitable result will be, his utter
inability to adopt any definite rule of conduct. He will
be a Bishop only in name and in income, but this is not
the sort of diocesan wanted in Jerusalem.
The Morning Herald anticipates the speedy downfal of
O'Connell's influence in Ireland, observing:—" The Earl
of Shrewsbury first threw a bucket of water into Mr.
O'Connell's face, and he had scarcely recovered the use
of his vision, and done stamping with rage and wringing
his clothes, when Mr. Sharman Crawford struck him a
dangerous blow under the fifth rib ; while engaged in
abusing that honest gentleman, his friend, Mr. O'Brien,
has administered to his posterior quarter a most stinging
kick ; and young Mr. Porsonby has gladly seized the
opportunity produced by the pain of this blow, to snap his
Whigish fingers in his Carlow patron's face. The straw
is every where moving,' Mr. Daniel O'Connell, and just
and impartial government by Lords De Grey and
Eliot will totally extinguish you. Retire, then, as grace-
fully as you can, at once ; do not wait to be hissed
and hooted from the stage on which you have been
so long ' strutting and fretting,' by the very
who once received you with ' thundui.s otapplause. "
ir the Irish Government be conducted on the broad
principle of justice, then indeed Mr. O'Connell's popu-
lar influence will be greatly diminished, for he is the
chosen champion of his country's wrongs, who makes
them known through him; and in proportion to the ex-
tent of her grievances, is the extent of his power of
agitation; but we have no reason to believe that the
Tories will so manage matters, as to leave Mr. O'Connell
few or no wrongs to complain of, and to seek redress
for ; they will be pretty sure to give him plenty of em-
ployment in this line, and so maintain his influence
unimpaired.
The Chronicle remarks, in reference to the extinction
of the old Dublin Corporation—" Nobody but an *Eng-
lishman or a Scotchunca, who bad lived in Dublin under
tie old system, can form anything like a proper estimate
of the selfish manners, the insolent rapacity, and the
vulgar impudence of the Orange Corporation of Dublin.
Very few of the respectable Protestant citizens had any
thing to do with it. Noisy and needy partizans; shabby
traaimen, and brawling topers, composed the bulk of its
members; and not a few of them, the chief portion of
whose lives had been spent in toasting the glorious and
immortal memory, Protestant ascendancy, and perdition
to the Pope, were men whose intellectual capacity bare•
ly enabled hem to comprehend that Protestant ascend-
ancy meant the old Corporation, and the Protestant faith
keeping the bloody Papists' dOWn. Latterly there
was a kind of external decency thrown over the conduct
of the old corporation, as it felt that it was getting old
and was about to die. But the whole. spirit was still
there—the old trust-in-God-and-keep-your-powder-dry'
spirit."—Twelve years ago, when Orangeism was in all
its glory, and anticipating a long reign of corruption and
misrule, who would have predicted the so speedy demo-
lition of its strong hold in the Dublin corporation?
Were Alderman Beresford, of Riding-house notoriety,
now living, the shock of its destruction would have killed
him; or if ho could survive that, never could he have
survived the presence of his arch-enemy O'Connell in
the Mansion Hoase, as Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin!
The Post says:—" However much we lament the cri-
minal violence of the opposition with which the present
Government is assailed, and however much to be re-
gretted the immediate consequences upon the minds of
the distressed populace may be, we think the Conserva-
tive Government is not unlikely to gain strength by it
in the end. The policy of that Government is evidently
to einbrace within its pale all who are friends of rood
order, and of moderation and good sense in political
matters, whether they have been heretofore called Tories
or Whigs. The Opposition, by Which it is so virulently
assailed, is that of desperate and outrageous instigators
of political violence ; and we do not see hew respectable
men of any party can fail to be disgusted with this, and
to be predisposed to take the side on which this disgusting
violence is not."—The plain meaning of this flourish of
words is, that all who refuse to believe in the political
foresight and stern Spartan-like integrity of the Tory
Government are desperate and outrageous instigators of
violence ; and that
,all sagacity, all honesty, all love of
order and decorum are confined within the narrow pale of
Toryism
'lite following is from the Cork Southern Reporter :
" The old and decrepid Corporation is no more ; it is
gone to the tomb of the Capulets, after existing, as a
Protestant ascendency institution for 185 years. It
would, in a short time, have died of inanition if it were
not thus strangled by the strong arm of the law, without
the regret of any party, and amidst the scoffs and *r-
ings of the people. The Corporation of this City was
established in its late form in the reign of Charles IL,
avowedly for the reason of maintaining Protestant ascen-
dency in Church and State."
• Speaking of some recent Tory appointments, the
Limerick Reporter remarks as follows:—" The profes-
sions made by Lord Eliot in his speech to the electors
of Cornwall.have been eitherly utterly forgotten or were
never intended, when made, to be worked into practical
effect. The recent and coming appointments argue not
only a total oblivion of them, but a perverse anxiety to
outrage the people in every imaginable manner."
The Nottingham Review makes the following remarks
on the distressed state of the country :—" The manufac-
turing towns are swiftly hasting to ruin. In Notting-
ham, the meagre famished appearance and squalid coun-
tenances of men walking along the streets, or dragging
sand-carts from door to door, is truly heart-rending ; we
have many, every day, begging at our doors ; the cruel
Poor-law Commissioners prohibit relief out of the work-
house to the able-bodied who are unemployed, and rather
than go into the house, some beg, others steal, and many
sicken. and die !"

The greatest manufacturers of Havannah cigars are
Cabanas, Hernandez, Silva, and Rencareuil. 1). Her-
nandez employs about fifty men in his manufactory : of
the best common cigars a good workman can make-1,000
in a day : of the " replies," which are carefully and
beautifully rolled, 600 ; so that the daily issues from
that immense fabrica are about 30,000 cigars, which
gives nearly 1001. a day. Paying the different duties
levied upon their importation, retailing, &c., the best
Havannahs can be sold in London at 51. per thousand,
which is 18d. for 16, or about lid. a piece ; instead of
which they are charged 30s. to 405., and from 3d. to 4d.
a piece.
The trade between Sydney, New South Wales, and
.Bristol is daily increasing. In 1839 five ships went out;
in 1840, seven ; and in return a ship-load of wool came
from that colony to Bristol. This year it is expected
there will be more both of shipping and imported wool.
