CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
*morning at. 96H, and for next Account 97, since
which they have lowered a little, and are now
for this Account, and for next 964, with a

good deal of business doing, owing to its being
Settling Day. There was a report yesterday of
a great failure in the Market, but this appears to
have been unfounded. The fluctuation of this

Account is about 51- per cent.
FOREIGN MARKET.—The most business doing

is in Mexican Scrip.

Tri the House of Lords last night, the Earl of
DARNLEy's motion for the appointment of a
Committee to inquire into the state of Ireland,
and into the tendency of the measures lately
adopted by Parliament for the internal regula-
tion of that country, and to consider what mea-
sures are necessary for remedying and removing
the evils and grievances under which it suf-
fers, was negatived by a large majority. The
Earl of LivEnPoor,, in replying to the Noble
Mover, stated the gratifying facts that every
part of Ireland except the Province of Mun-
ster is, in a state of progression towards pro-
sperity, and that the number of schools for
the education of the poor has rapidly increased
since 1817, and is still increasing. The Noble
Earl further recapitulated some of the important
advantages which Ireland enjoys, in being the
only country in the world which is entitled to
send her productions of every kind into the markets
of Great Britain, and in her comparative exemp-
tion from taxation; and as Government is

at all times ready to listen to every practical
suggestion for the improvement of the Sister
Island, besides the constant facility of bringing
forward measures of amelioration in Parliament
which is open to every Member of the Legisla-
ture, he resisted the motion of the Earl of
atasz.ra-, o❑ the ground that it would be pro-
ductive of no benefits, but might, on the con-
trary, lead the country into many difficulties
and even into some degree of peril. It can-
not, we think, be disputed, that if the in-
dustry of Ireland were called into active and
productive exertion, and if education, on sound
principles, were universally diffused amongst the
peasantry, almost all that is necessary for placing
her in a state of tranquillity and happiness
would be effected. What are absurdly enough
called " natural causes " by the Political
Economists, are, according to Lord Lirscrt-
POOL'S statement, gradually increasing the Em-
ployment of the people ; whilst the work of Edd-'
cation, having been wisely accelerated by Legis-
lation, and by the efforts of private benelolence,
is making in one year a much more rapid and
extensive progress than would have resulted

from the operation of " natural causes" in a
century. If well-combined and permanent Le.'
therefore, were also direct.'
etillat itoi: measures,
the
thel
heelllSlUtureedsi ate and extensive develop-
ment productive industry of the Irish
people, there can be no well-founded doubt
that Ireland would at length enter on a
career of prosperity far exceeding, in its be-
neficial results, the hopes of the most sanguine
friends to that unfortunate country, and which
alone would furnish a remedy for the imaginary
as the
sourcerealof
grievances that are at present
t
so many calamities. But,
a
time that the theories of the Political
tte the well
fruitful
very a s
Economists are abandoned for sound and practical
measures as respects the diffusion of educa-
tion, and the creation of useful knowledge
and of well-disposed intelligence, those very
theories, w ild and visionary as they are, have
unhappily triumphed in the Legislature, over all
the dictates of experience and of true economi-

cal science, as respects the adoption of prac-
tical measures for the application of industry
and capital, for the skilful development of

the boundless national resources which are at
our disposal, and for the rapid creation of new
wealth and its beneficial distribution amongst
all classes, which well devised Legislation could
almost instantly accomplish.

In the House of Commons we rejojce to see
that one of the projects of the modern Political
Economistß, viz. Mr. Serjeant OxsLow's Bill
for the Repeal of the Usury Laws, was last
night thrown out by a small majority.

German Papers have arrived. Their contents
are no otherwise important than that they serve
to confirm our former intelligence, of the effec-
tive interference of Lord STRANGFORD with the
Turkish Government, in favour of certain Greeks
charged with a conspiracy--a fact which suffi-
ciently proves the increased weight of British in-
fluence in the Divan.

Brussels to the 7th, and Dutch to the Bth
instant, have also come to hand. The former
eontain an article from Nuremburgh, which as-
serts, that the Russian army in Bessarabia has
received orders to act in a decisive manner, if
the Turks do not speedily evacuate the princi-
palities of Wallachia and MolOr via. The Dutch
Papers are entirely barren.
