Rome to Galway, from Manchester to Carlow, every de-
vice has been employed, every soft point acted upon,
every infirmity of temper or principle tampered with, to
try even from the bosom of the Irish people themselves,
to get some of them, as of old, to roast each other, their
country, and its most vital measures on the political spit.
The following is from the Brighton Guardian :
" There is no cessation of public distress. On the con-
trary, more persons at Nottingham, Manchester, and
Paisley continually require relief; and several additional
failures, it is said, have occurred at Glasgow. Some
little expectation was excited by the acquittal of M‘Leod
as removing one chance of hostility with the United
States ; but the condition of our trade is less dependent
on such contingencies than on our own legislation, and
till that is altered there will be no revival of our pros-
perity."
The Tyne Mercury remarks, in an article suggested
by the signs of the times:—" The pressure from without
forms itself gradually by the impinging as it were of
one mind upon another, till that vast combination is
produced which goes by the name of public opinion.
Never was the process of intellectual amalgamation so
powerful as it is at present. Almost every newspaper
you take up convinces you of the truth—almost every
man you meet with adduces to you, in ordinary con-
versation, some evidence of the forming of one of those
immense phalanxes of thought and feeling which are
preparing for great and overwhelming achievements.
We ever expected, as, indeed, we have frequently de-
clared, that such things would arise from the accession
of a Tory Ministry. That accession was required to pro-
duce the reaction which is approaching."
We quote the following from the Cambridge Adver-
ilser ;—'‘ We shall soon feel the disastrous effects of the
rejection. by the Tories of Lord John Russell's proposi-
tion of a reduction upon the duty paid for the admission
of Brazilian sugar. Manufactured articles to the value
of nearly five millions of money are annually exported
from this country to Biazil, while by the imposition of
a duty, which amounts almost to a prohibition, we vir-
tually refuse to take au portion of Brazilian produce in
exchange."

At Paisley during the past week, the number of work-
people, with their wives and families, depending on,the
Relief Committee for existence, has increased to upwards
of 2,000 : the total number being no less than 8,435
persons, who have no means of supporting themselves
except by charity.

The Anti-Corn-law Association of Birmingham in-
vited Mr. Curtis, of America, to deliver a lecture in the
Town-ball yesterday evening, upon the injurious effects
of the Corn-laws. White, the Chartist, however, with
his followers, broke up the meeting, voting for the ex-
pulsion of Mr. William Scholefield from the chair, pre-
venting Mr. Curtis from speaking by the uproar, till
Mr. Sturge, owing to the interruptions, was compelled
to dissolve the meeting, upon which the fury of the
meeting against White became so great, that had the
people not been prevented he would have been thrown
over the gallery. Mr.-Sturge fin-ally gave him his arm,
and led him out.

In the year 1837 a family of vine-dressers, consisting
of nineteen persons, emigrated from the duchy of Nassau
to New South Wales, where they transplanted the diffe-
rent descriptions of Rhenish vines. This crop, by the
last accounts, produced 15,800 bottles.

Yesterday evening, a numerous meeting of the West-
minster Reform Society, was held at Stannard's Hotel,
Covent Garden, to receive the report of the Committee
appointed to superintend the registration of voters for
the city of Westminster, 1841-42. It appeared that
there were more than double the number of claims and
objections made this year than in any preceding ; the
total number of voters was 15,000. and the return of two
Reformers will be insured at a future contest.
NA.VAM AND MILITARY.
Eighteen of the twenty-three Lieutenancies in the
62d Regiment are for purchase—a circumstance un-
paralleled in any other corps of infantry on the India
establishment.
The port of Gloucester presents a bustling scene ;
the shipping arrivals are so numerous, that dock-room
cannot be obtained. The trade of the city is greatly im-
proving, and no less than twelve vessels have arrived from
France these last two days.
