THIRD EDITION OF

nevertheless, of an interesting character. The omis-
sions in the Royal Speech were again casually noticed,
particularly in reference to the revenue and national
education. Both of these subjects must have been
designedly left out of her MAJESTY'S address.
They could not have been Ministerial oversights.
It is not easy to surmise why the revenue
should not have formed a topic to be specially
noticed. It is easier to furnish reasons why
the Government did not advise to allude to na-
tional education. The awful circumstances under
which the Parliament has met wholesale famine
brooding over the entire surface of Ireland, and de-
vastating a great portion of the 'Western Highlands—
the apparent and complicated difficulties that must be
triumphed over before we can be safely extricated from
the national evils in which weare disastrously involved
--the time that must be absorbed in the deliberations
of the Senate, with the view of devising the requisite
measures, not merely for the mitigation of prevailing
severities, but likewise for preventing their recur-
rence—the fact, that most of the labours of the session
of 1847 must be devoted to the above wide and me-
lancholy field of legislation, confirmed, as it is, by
the announcement from the Throne, that not one, or
two, but " various measures," will be laid before Par-
liament for grappling with the social evils of the
Sister Isle—the important range, moreover, of the
other matters broached in the Royal Budget,—these
severally constitute a rational answer to the anxious
inquiry why popular education was not authoritatively
notified to the assembled Council of the nation. Ques-
tions of primary necessity and magnitude must be
first dealt with ; but it would be a presumptuous
inference to draw, that because the Ministry wisely
estimate an importunate necessity, they are in-
different to the cause of national instruction. Much
as the Government have to perform during the cur-
rent year with the sanction of Parliament,
they have, notwithstanding, declared themselves to be
prepared with schemes for promoting the sanatory
condition of the peoples" rt is obvious that, if it be
almost certain that, regard being had to time, the
Legislature, as between public health, on the one
hand, and public education; on the other, can only
enact measures with respect to one of them, the pre-
ference is wisely given in favour of the former. The
physical energies of the population, and their social
comforts, must, in the order of nature, be, in the first
instance, secured and promoted, before we attempt,
upon any comprehensive scale, to develop their in-
tellectual faculties. The careful husbandman, tend-
ing a sickly vine, first addresses his skill to the pro-
tection and nourishment of the root before he extends
it to the cultivation of the branches, from the invigo-
rated growth of which he hopes to gather his timely
fruit.

this country in-your liands, and the result is that you
have reduced the country to such a state of perennial
distress that the -failure of a single article of food has
plunged it into an appalling and disastrous famine."
But the meeting on the 14th instant, though distin-
guished by less of oratorical display than its predecessor
promises to become the parent of greater and of better
things. This meeting was composed of the landed pro-
prietors of Ireland, convened by the Reproductive Com-
mittee, to consider and sanction the resolutions prepared
by that Committee, and for some time past published in
all the papers. Fifteen peers, twenty-six members of
the House of Commons, and above a thousand land-
holders, obeyed the call of the Committee. Never be-
fore was there seen in Dublin such a collection of
notables. Never were tho representatives of so much
property collected under one roof in Ireland. Party
and sectarian feelings were forgotten. Bitter antago-
nists took each other by the hand, and pledged them-
selves to fight together manfully for the preservation of
the lives of the Irish people.

A FULL REPORT of LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S
SPEECH, in a Committee of the whole House, will
be given TO-NIGHT, in a THIRD EDITION
of " THE SUN."

Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, the Orange Member for the
University of Dublin, proposed the first resolution ; and
stated, amid loud cheekii; that it was his deliberate and
firm conviction that the formation of an Irish party,
irrespective of party considerations, was essential
for the salvation of the country. Mr. C'CoNNELL
seconded Mr. HAMILTON'S resolution, and declared,
amid thunders of applause, that he entirely
agreed with every word that had fallen from
Mr. HAMILTON on the important subject of form-
ing an Irish party at the present moment ; and that in
order to,attain so desirable an object, any sacrifice con-
sistent with duty ought to be freely made by all, for the
purpose of effecting the great good that tht formation of
such a party would accomplish. And the Orange Earl
of ERNE, in proposing ,the second resolution, declared
that there was but one course for them to pursue, and
that was, to adopt the advice of Mr. O'CONNEBL, and
make a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether.
And the perfect accord of that great meeting is exempli-
fied in the astonishing result of a full and unanimous
agreement of above one thousand Irish gentlemen to 36
resolutions, given in one day, without noise or tumult,
and almost without an unnecessary word.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in moving the last resolution,
intimated that if such an Irish party had been formed ten
years ago, it might have rendered the repeal of the
union unnecessary. We ask Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN why
such a party may not render it unnecessary now? Ten
years are but as a moment in the life of a nation. Why
may not a union of all good men in Ireland, acting in
concert with a Government like the present, zealous for
the advancement and prosperity of that country, give
Ireland every benefit that a native Parliament could give
it, and something more.

THE NAVIGATION LAWS.
A FULL REPORT of LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S
SPEECH, in a Committee of the whole House, will
also be given TO-NIGHT, in a THIRD EDITION
of " THE SUN."

We perceive, with cordial delight, a paragraph in
the Nottingham Mercury, communicating that the
Society of Commercial Travellers have resolved upon
raising a subscription for alleviating the dreadful
miseries under which the inhabitants of Ireland, and
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland are suffering.
No one is to contribute more than five shil-
lings. This a wise regulation, which, we doubt
not, for obvious reasons, will realise a larger
collection than if the amount had been left unlimited.
Were other associated bodies in the empire to imitate
this inspiriting example of humanity, many a wretched
creature might be timely saved from the awful ravages
of pestilence, famine, and death. Commerce is only
another name for charity in its largest and best under-
stood sense. Those who embark in it are found to
act freely upon the expanding and ennobling influences
of philanthropy. Of this we have a pleasing instance
in the right-minded benevolence of the Commercial
Travellers' Society.
Madrid papers of the 13th have arrived.

It was scarcely fair in Mr. HUME to insinuate, as
he did last night, a doubt of her MAJEsrr's Ministers
being as anxious as their predecessors to carry out
the principles of free trade. Our advances in this
respect must be regulated by the state of the revenue.
Were we rashly to depart from this wholesome rule, we
should speedily find, to our cost, " the more haste, the
less speed." Besides, the recommendations for the
immediate abolition of the corn-laws—for such, in-
deed, the proposed suspension of the existing law
virtually amounts to—and the use of sugar in our
breweries and distilleries, are palpable steps in fur-
therance of unrestricted trade and commerce. As far
as we can judge of the .future by what has already
transpired in St. Stephen's, the national prospects
will, we believe, soon recover from the eclipse by
which they have of late been partially obscured.

MARTINEZ DE LA Rose not having arrived in Madrid,
it was supposed that CASTRO Y OROZCO would be elected
President of the Chamber of Deputies.
The Ileraldo more than hints at the probability of a
change of Ministry.
The Clamor Publico states that the Carlists have held
an open and public meeting at Estella, to consider of the
day on which they should make their intended outbreak.
Other accounts say that a serious disturbance occurred
at Pampeluna on the 10th. A number of conscripts and
others assembled on the,.Tolosa road, and the Alcalde,
with a civil force, attempted to dispeirse them. The
rioters raised the cryof the " Fueros," and drove the au•
thorities into the town, Disturbances, it is said, are
likewise threatened at Grenada.

Senor OLozscs has addressed a letter to the Cham-
ber, protesting against its proceeding in his absence to
the discussion of his double election. He gives no one
authority to defend him, but claims the right to be beard
himself in his own defence.

MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 13.—The Three per Cents,
closed o❑ the 13th at 32; the Fire per Cents., 20i;
Coupons, 18.1.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The debate on the Address commenced on Monday in
the Chamber of Peers. The. only speaker of any weight
who addressed the Chambers on the subject of the
Montpensier marriage was the Baron C. DuPIN, whose
speech may be described as a series of variations on the
old tune of perfide Albion. M. GIIIZOT did not address
the Chamber.
The Commerce has a very remarkable article, spe-
culating on the probability of the retirement of M.
regards as
with England or
inevitable, whether
France
oT (whichremains
i t
pat
goes to war,) and on the fittest person to
be his successor. Count MOLE, is at once rendered im-
possible under present circumstances on account of his
,
Russian engagements and predilections. " There re-
mains then only M. TRIERS," says the Commerce. "He
wishes fore ca the
cause g
dig-
nified, and as the point upon which a general peace
rests, and the conditions of which should not wound
swnhgilcishh broke alliance,
either the national interests or character. Conservatives,
reflect upon this! M. TRIERS, in his position, is the
only man for Conservatism and peace. Men of the Op-
position! remember that M. TRIERS is a child of the
Revolution of July, and that this Revolution has always
been cherished by him as a mother, and that he has
never denied his origin. Men of the different constitu-
tional parties! reflect that time has wings, and that too
repeated hesitations expose us to the re-echoing of those
sad words, ' It is too late.
The Portefeuille, the Ministerial journal, in alluding
to the secession of the Dufaure and Billault section
of the Opposition from the Thiers and Barrot party,
is forced to admit that there is also a split among the
Conservatives, although it does not anticipate that the
differences will lead to any changes. The same journal,
in speaking of Lord PALNERSTON'S last note, says—
" Lord Palmerston has addressed to Lord Normanby, un-
der date of the 9th inst., a dispatch, which was transmitted
on the 12th to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this dispatch,
of eighty-four pages, of which a copy was left with M. Guizot,
Lord Palmerston appears to insist only on the arguments
relative to the engagements made in the conferences at Eu;
little is said on the clauses of the treaty of Utrecht, so that
the Minister of her Britannic Majesty rather raises a difficulty
of etiquette, and rather discusses the question of procedes,
which he persists in finding bad, than be treats an affair of
right and policy relative to the marriage of his Royal High-
ress the Due de Montpensier. If Lord Palmerston had in-
sisted on his first arguments, drawn from the isolation of
the treaty of Utrecht, to explain the opposition of England,
the King's Government might have dispensed with a reply,
because a right that France considers as acquired cannot be
placed in doubt. The question of procedes presenting itself
almost alone, it was of importance to the dignity and honour
of the King's Government to destroy all suspicion on this
point. And, therefore, though the Minister of Foreign
Affairs was as free as in the question of Cracow, to reply or
not to reply, to the dispatch communicated, a9a to close the
discussion immediately, the Council has decided that M.
Guizot shall reply to the last dispatch of the Minister of ber
Britannic Majesty."
According to the Cowrier Francais, Lord PALMER.
&TON has determined the three Northern Powers to de-
clare against France on the subject of the Montpensier

marriage.
Food riots still continue to rage in the provinces of
France, and the price of corn and flour is rising in all the
markets of the country.
" At the Mans," says La Reforme, " wheat has just risen
3f. ; the hectolitre was at 37f. to 38f. at the last market. In
Maine-et-Loire, at Brissac and Saumur, the same advance
has taken place. The most alarming accounts reach us from
the central departments. At Tours flour is worth 100 f. per
sack, and the scarcity of grain is extreme. The bakers no
longer supply themselves. The people are deeply agitated.
From all the markets that supply Paris our advices continue
to announce an average advance of 2f. per hectolitre."
The King of TIGRE, which is, next to Shoe, the
richest kingdom of Abyssinia, and which occupies the
space comprised between the Red Sea and the upper
lands, has sent a letter and presents for the KING of the
FRENCH to the French consular agent at Gondar.

The Paris Bourse changed, towards the close of busi•
ness on Tuesday, the gloomy hue it had worn during
many days. Reports were circulated that an eminent
capitalist had begun once more to buy, and that the
Speech of her Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND would
speak comparatively without hostility of the Montpen•
sier marriage. The low price to which securities had
fallen tempted, moreover, the " Bears" to' realise, and
hence the Three per Cents., which had been done so
low as 76f. 80c., rallied, and closed at 77f. 40c. (buyers).
The Three per,Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday

Lord Grey has shown his superior judgment, as a
Colonial Minister, by appointing Mr. Henry Fox
Young to be her Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of the
Eastern District of the Cape of Good Hope, in succes-
sion to Major- General Hare. This gentleman's long
experience of colonial matters in British Guiana, where
he served with great credit as Government Secretary in
a mixed community of British and Dutch settlers, pe-
culiarly fit him to preside orer a mixed population, of
similar character, at the Cape. His calm, dignified, and
urbane manners endeared him to the inhabitants of
Guiana, and annihilated the- violent party spirit which,
for a long time, distracted that noble colony. The
documents which we recently published respecting this
gentleman, on his arrival from Demerara, speak volumes
for the improved condition of that colony, and attest
Mr. Young's merits in far better terms than we can
express them. This appointment is a proof of Lord
Grey's desire to govern our colonial possessions in a
way suited to promote the welfare of mankind, in a spirit
of peace, rather than by the terror of the sword,
PRESENTATION OF THE COMMONS' ADDRESS.—
(THIS DAY.)—The Address, agreed to last night, was
we understand, presented this day to the Queen, at
Windsor, by the Members of the Privy Council, in con.
formity with the resolution of the House last night.
The reply of her Majesty will, therefore, most likely,
not be reported to the House until to-morrow.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton 'at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500
bales, 700 of which were on speculation. There was no
change in prices. Sales, 800 Pernams,': at VAd. to 83/d. ;
600 Surat at 41d. to sd. ; and the rest American at 6%d. to
B%cl. per lb. Shares were heavy.
The attempt to-raise money, by way of loan, appears
not to have succeeded in Austria, at least to the required
extent, the participation of British capitalists being wisely
limited, because of the uncertain condition of our own Money
market. Still, it is stated in accounts from Vienna, that the
Austrian Government has obtained funds sufficient to relieve
the Share market, by making advances on railway scrip.
Adverting to railway s, we cannot but notice the serious
decline in the present value of the Belgian lines, which must
inevitably experience increased difficulty in raising the re-
mainder of their capital. The Belgian Government must
afford every possible facility, and would be adopting a suici-
dal policy were it to act upon the recommendation of an
Antwerp journal, and forfeit, without remorse, the caution-
money of any company not in a situation to comply strictly
with the conditions accepted, and which in some cases are
onerous enough, no doubt. The Belgian wilier should re-
member that railways give employment, and that in reality
British capital is at this moment affording that employment
in his country.
The mention made of a postage convention in Germany
excites a hope here of some satisfactory and improved ar-
rangement of the heavy charge now levied upon correspon-
dence, and of which the success of the penny postage here
may induce a reduction.
There is still an uncertain market for the English Secu-
rities, and the quotations have been influenced by the report
that the Bank of England directors have determined upon
another advance of the rate of interest. Consols have
been 91% to 91% for present transfer, and 91% to 92 for
time. Exchequer-bills are ss. to Bs. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 93% %. Bank Stock
has been flat at 205.

The Foreign Bonds have been exceedingly dull. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 34% lA, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
33%. Mexican Bonds are at 22. Dutch Stock has improved
a trifle.

Shares are in some instances a little better to-day, and
there are no sales of importance pressed forward.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LORD CHARLES STUART, SON
OF THE EARL OF MIIRRAY.—He went to bed last night in
his usual health, and was found by his servant, at half-past
nine this morning (21st), lying on the floor on his face,
apparently senseless. Dr. Dyer and Dr. King were in im-
mediate attendance, but life was extinct. For the cause of
death we await the coroner's inquest.
THE VALUE OF LAND IN IRELAND.—Yesterday
the perpetual rent of about 1,900 statute acres (of which
about 1,400 consisted of profitable land, the remainder being
tideland, rocky and bog), and which realised only about 1401.
per annum, was put up to auction at Garraway's, by Mr.
Alderman Farebrother. The property, which was known as
the Kilbride Estate, and which was situate in the ofbarony
Forth, in ;he county of Carlow, comprised extensive
was farms,,
with also two-thirds of all minerals, timber, underwo

growing er to grow on the estate, which valued
at 1,000/., and which, in consequence of arailivaybeing abcut
to adjoin the estate, the auctioneer said would be double its
value. The estate was said to be at thirty-five year's pur-
chase, worth 5,6001. After an active competition, it was
knocked down for 3,7001.

VICE-CHANCERY -(THIS DAY
(Before Vice-Chancellor SHADWELL.)
AMP ICIAL TEETH.—MUGGRIDGE V. THOMAS.

Mr. COOPER applied for an injunction to restrain the de
fendant, who is a dentist in Duke-street, Grosvenor-square,
from continuing to keep a brass plate on his door, stating
that he was the principal assistant and designer to the
plaintiff, who has carried on the business of a dentist in Old
Burlington-street for several years, and for preventing him
from circulating cards and publishing advertisements in the
newspapers, setting forth that he is the sole inventor of a
new mode f fixing artificial teeth, to the great injury of the
plaintiff, who had •invented an obtained a patent in March
last for " Pneumatics, or the fixing of teeth on the self-
sustaining principle instead of wires." The plaintiff set forth
that he was the sole inventor of this principle, and that the
defendant had employed a person to deliver the circulars com-
plained of to his patients at his door, and that in consequence
they had been misled, and his business materially injured.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the application.

THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY v. THE CHARING-

CROSS SUSPENSION-BRIDGE.
