his name to the applause of a posterity
more capable of estimating his true merits than his
own immediate contemporaries. As the Liberator of
his fellow-Catholics, and as the chosen Tribune of
the people of Ireland, he has entitled himself to per-
petual remembrance; but, inasmuch as he was the
Liberator of many millions from the thraldom of
religious disabilities, without the effusion of one single
drop of blood, he has secured for himself immortal
honour, unsurpassed and unparalleled. It may be e
question whether the fame acquired by the Liberator
of Ireland as a rhetorician has been exaggerated or
otherwise, although that subtle and in many respects
matchless critic, M. DE CORMENIN, has given him the
palm among modern orators. But as a man who has
striven to elevate a whole race from debasement and
comparative bondage, as a man who has actually
raised his country from political stupor and social
inertness, to a remarkable consciousness of the rights
of citizenship and the immunities consequent upon
obedience to constitutional authorities, DANIEL
O'CONNELL must for ever occupy a supreme place
among the benefactors of the human family. His
glory and his influence go not with his death. From
the silence of his coffin his voice speaks
audibly to the nations. His heart may be en-
shrined in the basilicas of Rome, his august
remains may repose upon the shores of the Mediter-
ranean sea, but his spirit still survives in that great
wreck of humanity, it survives in the good deeds he
accomplished, it survives in the magnificent orations
he delivered, it survives in the truths which his as-
siduous repetition has resolved into maxims. Let
Ireland remember the one great maxim of the wis-
dom of this illustrious patriot, the maxim which has
been mournfully, but most felicitously enforced by
the recent address of the Repeal Association, let Ire-
land remember his memorable maxim, " The man
who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy,"
and, acting upon the recollection of that
noble apophthegm she will prove herself worthy of
DANIEL O'CONNELL, she will do fitting honour to
the memory of that extraordinary man, she will in-
sure to herself that happy and prosperous futurity
for which the dead heart of the Liberator once beat
with such fervent and affecting patriotism.

We heartily congratulate the country upon the
change which has already been wrought in its pros-
pects with respect to the staple article of national
existence. Often as we have endeavoured to guard
our readers against participating in the alarming
apprehensions which had imbued the public mind
on the subject of the supply of food for the
current year, we nevertheless appreciated the diffi-
culty of the task of imparting our confidence to
others. The subject-matter itself was of such vital
importance that the liveliest emotions of fear were
readily excited among the community who, being
little conversant with the cereal statistics of
other countries, regarded only the excessive prices
to which bread of every description had attained
in every market, and at once anticipated the
worst. The speculators and chief monopolists in
corn were keenly alive to the selfish policy of
fanning the flame of public apprehension. For
interested purposes they adopted as their motto,
spargere votes in vulgum ambiguas, and, doubtless,
thereby succeeded, to a great extent, in compassing
their covetous object. Matters, however, are now
materially changed. The crisis is passed. Concur-
rently with the transit to our coast of vast stores of
grain, PROVIDENCE has been pleased to bless,
not only our own, but the entire of the European
territory, with the most splendid weather, by
which we are cheered with the prospect of the
ensuing harvest proving a very abundant one,
with every appearance, moreover, should the
weather continue propitious, of its being gathered in
not later than usual. In all the principal of our
home markets the price of corn has happily very con-
siderably abated, and an improved tone of feel-
ing has consequently been everywhere manifested.
The growing crops are universally in a most flourish.
ing state. At Uxbridge market, on Thursday, wheat
fell 3/. per load, taking the average prices, as com-
pared with those of the previous week ; and yet,
notwithstanding this diminished rate, few sales were
effected, the buyers expecting the reduction to be
much greater next week. The latest news from Ire-
land, of the same character, is likewise highly encou-
raging. The grain crops promise abundance ; the
potato plant bears, as yet, a healthy and vigorous ap-
pearance ; butter has declined twopence in the pound,
and butchers' meat is lowered in price, owing to the
luxuriant show of the herbage. On all sides, then,
we derive fresh materials for repeating our felicita-
tions that the United Empire is fast emerging from
the gloom which threatened for a time to have more
than a transient effect upon the happiness and pros-
perity of millions of our compatriots.

We read in a letter from Constantinople 'of the
llth:—

" According to the last accounts from Athens, the
Greek Government has come to a resolution to make
concessions with the view of putting an end to the sub-
sisting differences between it and the Porte. This news
is not yet officially announced, but there is no reason for
entertaining doubts of its truth. The note addressed to
the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Athens, M. Persiani,
by the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh, must have contri-
buted to this result. The three members of the Nappist
party, who have seats in the Greek Cabinet, must ne-
cessarily have paid respect to the recommendations of
Russia, and it is not impossible that this incident may
re-establish regular and durable relations between the
two countries."

A letter, of the 16th instant, from Posen gives
the following accounts of serious disturbances in the
Grand Duchy, arising from the dearness of pro-
visions :

" It is principally in the north of the country that
devastations have been committed. In the sixteen towns
of Trzesmo, Gneren, Schrimin, Apolnice, Pleschen,
Czarnikau, Rogasen, Filehne, Schcelante, Recuiez, Pon-
dewitz, Wresselen-Buk, Wittkowo, Mourewaro-Gosslen,
Grimmen, and Oltzy, all the corn stores have been
pillaged, and the public money carried off. The domain
of Diaglin has been devastated by the peasantry of the
surrounding villages. The still more extensive domain
of Winiez, belonging to Baron Seidlitz, has been invaded
by a body of five hundred people, among whom were
Russian deserters. M. de Seidlitz assembled and armed
with all possible promptitude all the servants and other
persons employed on his estates, and a long and san-
guinary conflict took place with the insurgents, who,
however, would have gained the upper hand had not a
detachment of dragoons come up opportunely and put
them to flight, but not till after about fifty men on each
side had been killed. The President of the Grand
Duchy is concerting with the military authorities on the
means of establishing, i❑ each of the chief towns of
districts, columns of troops to he kept ready b move
at a moment's notice upon any point that may be threa-
tened. All the garrisons have been reinforced, and an
order is about to be issued making the rioters amenable
to martial law."

Madrid papers of the 22d inst. have arrived.
The differences between the QUEEN and her hus-
band are now openly commented on in the journals.
In speaking of the Palace question, the Espanol
says—

" That the matter divides itself into two parts, the
first of which is complicated, painful, sad,' and the
second easy, constitutional, and presenting no doubt as
to the solution.' The first branch of the question
resumes itself, says the Espanol, into this : Ilad all
the transactions relative to the royal marriages any
other object than to assure and consolidate an effective
marriage between the son of the King of the French and
the Infanta, and to sacrifice her Majesty condemning her
whole life to widowhood and tears ?' The time, it says,
is not yet ripe for clearing up of what it describes as
this terrible and well-founded doubt;' but it adds, that
when the truth shall appear, the Spanish nation and the
Cortes will linow how to act. The second branch of the
matter is, says the Espanol, the pretensions of the King
to interfere in state affairs, and to be absolute master in
the Royal Palace. It declares that neither can possibly
be accorded, the first being unconstitutional, and the
second in violation of his and the Queen's marriage con-
tract."

Don FRANCISCO is, it is said, acting at the instiga-
tion of a foreign power, and is guided by the advice
of foreign agents. General SERRANO, who is at
Aranjuez, is stated to be in constant communication
with OLOZAGA and other leaders of the Progressistas.
The Faro states that a decree recognising,
without any exception, the ranks conferred by the
ex-Regent ESPARTERO, 112.5 been signed by her
MAJESTY.

Colonel BAXERAS, who captured TRISTANY, has
been promoted to the rank of Brigadier. Ros
D'EnoLLEs, the Carlist leader who recently entered
Catalonia from France, has been killed in a skirmish,
while his band was completely dispersed.
The QUEEN was expected in Madrid on the 23d or
24th, to review the garrison. After the review her
Mitrsty will proceed to La Granja.

We have received the Paris papers of Thurday
The Journal des _Mats banters the National or, the
article which appeared in our paper of yesterlay,
giving a programme of a new Ministry. Nevethe-
less, it would appear that the rumours announing
Ministerial changes are not altogether without sun-
dation. M. DUFAURE, who was mentioned a! the
Finance Minister of the future Cabinet, pronomced
a speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Wedneday,
which is regarded by every one as a discours
The subject under discussion was the proposal ef M.
GLAIS BIZON to introduce an uniform rate of potage.
M. DUFAIIRE supported the proposition, and n the
the course of his speech sketched a complete pan of
financial reform, including the reduction of th Five
per Cents., the annulling of the Redeemed Time per
Cents., and the lessening the extraordinary xedits
granted to the Ministers by royal ordonnance. This
speech produced such an effect, that the amendment
proposed by a Ministerial Deputy was rejectd, and
the original proposition would have been carried
against the Ministers, had not the President nanaged
by a juggle to adjourn the Chamber, without sub-
mitting to it the question, so as to give Minsters an
opportunity of " whipping in " for the ntxt day.
The debate was resumed on Thursday, andwas not
concluded when the post left. The followinl article,
which appears in the Journal des Debuts, slows how
completely the Ministers have been beaten in the
Committee on the Budget :
" The Committee of the Chamber of Deputes on the
Budget, in its sitting of Tuesday, took a gave resolu-
tion on the Budget relative to extraordirary public
works. In accordance with the Minister of Public
Works, who, however, only consented witl regret, the
Committee proposes to reduce :-Ist. 44,200,000 E, in
the demand for 66,000,000 f. proposed in the establish-
ment of lines of railway ; 2d. 17,000,0001. in the de-
mand for 19,000,000 f. for maritime ports and light-
houses ; 3d. 2,000,000 f. in the demand- for 15,000,0001.
destined for Royal roads ; 4th. 9,000,000 f. in the de-
mand of 14,000,000 f. for the construction of new canals;
sth. 14,000,000 f. in the eemand of 15,000,0001. for the
improvement of rivers. Thus, on the amount of
131,000,0001. in the Budget of 1848 for extraordinary
public works, the Committee demands a reduction of
86,000,0001., which woud reduce to 45,000,0001. the
grants for extraordinary public works ; but this sum
is to be increased Ly the balances of the year
1847, and by the 13,60),0001. which have just been
demanded from the Chanber for the Northern, Vierzon,
and Avignon Railways ; which will give a sum of
74,000,000 f. to disburse )n railways in 1848. The Com-
mittee will subsequently occupy itself with the division
of this sum among the different lines ; and it is to have
a proposition to this effeet submitted to it by the Minister
of Public Works. Corsiderable reductions have also
been made by the Comm.ttee in the budget of extraor-
dinary works of the War Department. The demands
for these works amounted, pursuant to the laws of 1841
and 1842, to 22,380,0001. The Committee has prcvi-
sionally resolved that they shall be reduced to
10,000,0001. Finally, 1,50),000f. will be cut off from
the sum of 6,500,000 f. demanded for works by the
Marine Department. The mister of War and Gen. De
la Rue, director of the affairs of Algeria, were examined
yesterday by the Committee on the budget of Algeria.
The explanations that theygave were on details relative
to different services, and appeared generally to satisfy
the Committee. The reductions proposed by the Com-
mittee were of little importance. The Committee adopted
in the same sitting a definitive resolution on the privi-
lege of carrying the balanc3 of one year to another, ac-
corded to Ministers by our financial system. It had
provisionally decided that this privilege should be sup-
pressed ; but, after having heard M. Lacave Laplagne,
and subsequently M. Dumon and M. Jayr, several mem-
bers proposed to change that decision, and to maintain
the present system. This proposition, however, having
only united seven votes against seven, was not adopted.
The Committee decided that by an additional article, or
by an amendment inserted in the law of finance, it
should be proposed to the Chamber to suppress the pri-
vilege of carrying the balance over to another year,
excepting, however, the case in which a credit may have
only been opened for one year, for extraordinary works.
The suppression of this
_privilege will only take effect
from Ist January, 1849."
M. JAYR, the new Minister for Public Works, in-
troduced on Wednesday two Bills to enable the Paris
and Lyons and the Lyons and Avignon Railway
Companies to proceed with their works. In the
course of the discussion M. LHERBETTE demanded
that before the appointment of the Committee to ex-
amine the Bill, a list should be presented to the
Chamber of those Deputies who were directors or
shareholders in either of the companies. The Con-
stitutionnel, in noticing the presentation of the Bills,
says—

" The object of these Bills is easy to understand. At
the moment at which the Administration suspends the
enterprises it has executed at its cost, it has felt the ne-
cessity of facilitating to companies the means of con-
tinuing their works, in order not to leave the labouring
classes without employ ; these are expedients com-
manded by the situation, and are at the same time, on
the part of the Ministry, complete avowals of its want
of foresight."
The Debats on the same subject has the follow-
ing :

;-• Our readers will perceive that these two Bills give
no definitive solution to the position so embarrassed, and
after all so unfortunate, ct these two companies. They
adjourn this solution to another time, stipulating that
the companies must spend each 10,000,0001. within a
year, not including the purchase of lands ; on this con-
dition, if they desire to abandon their enterprise i❑ May,
1848, they may do so, the first losing 24,000,000 f. of
its capital, and the second something equivalent. They
are very prosperous companies—are they not? They
will only lose 12 per cent. of their capital ; but it is a
shame for these companies to rob the State! Happily
M. Lherbette, M. Luneau, and M. Gamier Pages watch
over it? They desire that the Committees shall be nomi-
nated by a scrutiny of the list, in a public sitting. They
exact that the lists of subscriptions, primitive, succes-
sive, definitive, with all the variations they have under-
gone from sales and purchases, shall be communicated
to the Chamber, in order that it may be ascertained, if
there be not by chance some Deputy in the affair! We
mention the incident—there is no need of comment.
When companies ruin themselves, there are people who
find that they arc too profitable."
M. DUCHATEL was sufficiently recovered from his
fever to be able to attend a Cabinet Council held
at the Hotel of Marshal Soma on Thursday.
The Chamber of Peers voted on Wednesday, by a
majority of 100 to 13, the project of law authorising
the Bank of France to issue notes of 200 f.

The Cubieres affair is becoming of greater import-
ance. Every day fresh discoveries are made impli-
cating in charges of corruption parties of the highest
rank in the State.
" The of of General Cubieres," says the Union
Mortar chique, "is assuming a great development. If, as
we are assured, former Ministers are so far compromised
as to be liable to impeachment for acts of their ad-
ministration, it is not to the Chamber of Peers, but to
the Chamber of Deputies, the prosecution should be
committed. To tha latter alone ought the inquiry and
accusation be entrusted."

"Let us pass," says La Mode, " from Spanish and Poi,
tuguese complications to matters which are embroiled,
and which affect us more nearly. Like a stain from oil,
the Cubieres, Parmentier, and Company affair is every
day increasing, and we know not where the scandal
will stop. At one moment it was expected that the
Upper Chamber, being leniently disposed, would declare
that there existed no cause for a prosecution. But now
the affair is become serious, the oldest members start,
the youngest become attentive, and the most pure ex-
claim loudly, and demand an example in order definitively
to put an end to c eruption. Last week M. Parmentier,
having been summoned to appear before the Court of
Peers, neglected to obey, and M. Pasquier, the Chancel.

well informed, a certain correspondence has been dis-
covered relative to bargains and concessions of railroads.
In consequence of this new information fresh interroga-

one or two exceptions.
The Bank of England return is cheering again for
the week from the 15th to the 22d instant. The
amount of the notes out with the public is less
certainly, but this arises from the extreme caution
exercised in trading operations. Fine weather, and
consistent policy on the part of the Bank directors, will re-
assure people, and induce them to enter anew into mer-
cantile operations, especially in connexion with our export
trade.
