THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1847

sure in some respects, yet I do not think that there
exists that over-population in Ireland, of which some
persons have complained; and I believe that if agri-
culture, which is the staple industry of the island,
were to be prosecuted with science and skill, that
there do exist means in Ireland of supporting the
population in a manner as comfortable as that of
England is supported." Holding these sentiments,
his Lordship cannot sanction the banishment of the
people while there are channels to which their
industry may be profitably directed, and so
long as there are four millions of acres
of reclaimable land lying waste and unproduc-
tive, and seven-eighths of that nominally under til-
lage, the produce of which might be more than
doubled by the proper application of labour, it can-
not be said that there is not an ample field for the
occupation of the people. In fact, while a single
industrial resource remains undeveloped, it cannot be
said that there is an excess cf population that must
be got rid of. The real wealth of a country chiefly
c nsists of its available labour. Ireland cannot afford
to he deprived of her productive classes.
The grand jury laws, too, are to be amended.
Those who are at all aware of the manner in which
the fiscal business of the several counties have been
transacted, will at once recognise the propriety of
a measure of reform, and how great a boon it will
be to the people. By far the most important of all,
however, is that relating to the law of landlord and
tenant. The state of the relations heretofore exist-
ing between those parties have been the cry-
ing grievance, the curse of Ireland. To this
cause may be ascribed the frightful disturbances, the
harrowing murders that have polluted her soil, the
great majority whereof have had an agrarian origin.
No measure can be effectual for the repression of
crime until this teterrima cause has been removed.
It is undoubtedly a question of difficulty, but Ulster
has afforded an answer, and the tranquil and prosperous
condition of that province attests the happy results of
the full recognition and practical operation of " The
Tenant Right." We trust the promised measure
may be of no stunted or meagre character, but that
it will extend that principle, the efficacy'of which
has been proved during successive ages,
throughout the entire kingdom. His Lord-
ship has stated that the measure will be
produced in that shape which in his judgment will be
most consistent with the improvement of the land on
the one side, and with the undoubted rights of the
landlord upon the other. The Ulster tenant-right
would attain both those objects, whichmust be fore-
most in the mind of a legislator.
We regret that, from the length of our observations
on the part of the speech relating to Ireland, we are
unable to do more than allude to the admirable
answer given to the attack of the Protectionist leader,
in which there was undoubtedly " a great deal of
indignation thrown away." Nothing could be more
complete than the refutation of the assertions, that
have so repeatedly been put forward, that our
recent calamities have been in any manner
owing to free trade ; it would, indeed, be strange if
protection were to be maintained with wheat at
110 s. per varter. The fact alluded to by the
Noble Lord, that there had been an increased ex-
portation of our manufactures from Liverpool to the
United States in 1847, over that of the correspond-
ing part of last year, of 2,2.61,414/., incontestably
proves " that the food we imported to this country
in greater quantity than usual had been the cause
of a greater exportation of manufactures," and
thus establishes the fundamental principle of the
Free-traders.

We sympathise with the feeling of obligation ex-
pressed towards Lord INGESTRE by the Honourable
Gentleman the Secretary to the Admiralty, for the
promptitude with which that Noble Lord has brought
the character of Sir CHARLES NAPIER under the con-
sideration of the new Parliament. By demanding
from the Government at this early period of the sit-
ting of the House of Commons some explanation with
reference to the rumours recently prevalent, as to the
conduct pursued towards Portugal by the Gallant
Admiral, Lord INGESTRE has afforded the authorities
of the Admiralty a most favourable opportunity for
vindicating the reputation of that distinguished officer.
It was essential, indeed, not merely to the character
of Sir CHARLES NAeinit, but to that of the Adminis-
tration which has awarded him his present elevated
appointment, that calumnies of such a di.graceful
nature should be immediately and utterly disproved.
The refutation of the reports was incumbent, more-
over, in a peculiar manner upon the members of that
department of the Legislature which is presided over
with so much efficiency by the Earl of AUCKLAND, for
in those reports the fair fame of the hero of St. Jean
d'Acre was at stake, and through that the credit of
the naval service generally was in a great measure
implicated.
It will be remembered, that somewhere about the
commencement of October, rumours were afloat to
the effect that Sir CHARLES NAPIER had employed the
authority afforded to him by his position as Com-
mander of the British fleet off Portugal for the fur-
therance of his own private interests ; that, in
other words, he had used the awe inspired
by the circumstance of his having a formidable
armament at his disposal, for the purpose of obtain-
ing from the political advisers of MARIA DA GLORIA
the arrears of pension due to him by the Portuguese
Government. Supposing this imputation to have
proved correct on inquiry, it would have been more
than sufficient to have disqualified the Admiral from
continuing in his present appointment, if it had not
even rendered him altogether incompetent to serve
his country again in a situation of such profound re-
sponsibility. The imputation, indeed, implied a cul-
pability almost as great as that of peculation. It
required an instant and emphatic denial, and that de-
nial was given to the charge with the utmost degree
of explicitness by no less an individual than Sir
CHARLES NAPIER himself. In spite, however, of this
decided contradiction, the calumny was repeated, and
it became in consequence necessary, on every account,
that it should be rebutted in an official manner, and
at as early a moment as might be convenient.
Last evening Lord INGESTRE inquired as to the
fallacy or correctness of reports so prejudicial to Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, and the explanation thereupon
given by the Secretary to the Admiralty was as
candid, as articulate, and as conclusive, as might
have been anticipated. Mr. WARD, in plain terms,
declared these reports to have been, from first to
last, groundless; and he enforced this assertion by
a most convincing and authoritative document. The
document was nothing less than a letter upon the
subject addressed to the First Lord of the Treasury
by Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, the Plenipotentiary at
Lisbon. According to the account therein furnished
it would appear that, so far from having endeavoured
to obtain the arrears of his pension from the Portu-
guese Government by any undue exercise of his autho-
thority, Sir CHARLES NAPIER had declined the over-
tures of a partial payment of those arrears made to
himself by the Portuguese Minister of Finance. On
arriving at Lisbon that Minister communicated with
the Admiral, and after expressing his regret at his in-
capacity to liquidate the liabilities incurred by the
non-payment of his pension, assured him that every
possible exertion should be made to transmit the
amount before a much longer period had expired.
The reply of Sir CHARLES to this apologetic message
was most characteristic :—" He had no wish to be paid
before his companions, and would take his chance with
the rest." In addition to this, the British Envoy at
the Court of Lisbon observes that the Admiral has
only received the arrears of four out of fifteen months'
pension, and that two months having elapsed since
that payment, he is still a creditor for thirteen
months. " The Gallant Admiral," concludes Sir
HAMILTON SEYMOUR, "is thus placed in the same
position as every other person who has claims
for pensions upon the Portuguese Government; he
has not, therefore, abused the influence which his pre-
sent position has given him." A more decisive denial
of the calumnious imputations levelled at Sir CHARLES
of that eminent sett.
NAPIER could not havecrnaptain will be grateful to those
bwehfoorheaParliament ---tr

been afforded,. and the friends
ofHAMILTON laying the explanation
having written in language s SEYMOUR for
Lord INGESTRE for having elic'iteadtriughtforward, to
MAJESTY'S Plenipotentiary at Lisbotillie letter of her
night of the sitting of the new R °out* the second
and to Mr. WARD for having responded w eithosalommons,
promptitude in his capacity as Secretary to utehhe
Admiralty. It is scarcely matter for congratulation,

however, that the character of Sir CHARLES NAPIER
has been so decisively vindicated, seeing that the
charges which have been refuted were never re.
garded as veracious by any three dozen men in Eng-
land.

A letter from Berne of the 19th gives the following
statement of the circumstanes which caused General
DUFOUR to refuse a safe conduct to the Secretary of
the French Ambassador. It appears that the cook
of the convent of St. Urbain, a Lucernese monastery
situated close to the Bernese territory, was seised
bearing several dispatches, and amongst others, a
letter from the Council of War of the Sonderbund,
sitting at Lucerne. This letter was addressed to the
Government of Friburg, to which it was to be for-
warded through the agency of M. SETTLER, of Berne,
advocate, who had already been in custody; or, in
order that it might reach its destination in a surer
way, he was recommended to hand it into the chan-
cellery of the French embassy. In the intercepted
letter the Council of War of the Sonderbund
explained the plans of attack of the General-
in- Chief, which, they declared, had come to
their knowledge. All these documents are in
the hands of the Vorort, and this fact was
not unknown to the Commander-in• Chief of the
Federal army. On this head M. DUFOUR, as well
as the Directory and the Diet, can appeal to all im-
partial men and to the whole world : was it possible
to authorise an attaché of the French Embassy to
make excursions into the cantons of the Sonderbund,
excursions evidently hostile to the Federal cause;
and that, after circumstances which sufficiently ex-
hibited the of the legation towards the legal
authority ? It seems, besides, that M. BOIS-LE..
COMTE designedly sought an opportunity to accom
plish a quasi-rupture with the Federal Directory, and
it was this motive which induced 'him to make a
demand which the General's duty could not permit
him to acquiesce in."
The King of PRUSSIA has addressed to the autho-
rities of Neufchatel a proclamation, dated the 19th,
approving of their motives for remaining neutral
during the civil war in Switzerland, and declaring
the principality of Neufchatel and Valendis neutral
during the whole of the war.

We read in a letter from Tiflis, in Georgia, dated
the 30th ult. :

" A courier from St. Petersburgh has just passed
through ,sith dispatches for Prince Dolgorouki, the
Imperial Ambassador at the Court of the Shah of
Persia. The Prince has not yet quitted Nawiarim, and
has thus left the field open to the French Ambassador,
M. de Sartiges, who is constantly with the Shah, and i❑
high favour. It is supposed here that the dispatches for
Prince Dclgorouki have reference to the treaty of com-
merce between France and Persia, which was concluded
without the knowledge of the Emperor of Russia, and
is said to have given great offence, as being a proof of
the increasing influence of the French Government at
the Court of the Persian Monarch."

A letter from Warsaw, of October 31, in the Oder
Gazette, says :
" M. de audcw has just arrived here from Naples.
The mission, relative to the religious affairs of Poland,
which he was entrusted with at Rome by the Emperor of
Russia, is looked on to have failed. To be confirmed in
this opinion, it is only necessary to observe the present
e,,uduct of the Russian Government with respect to the
Catholic religion in Poland—it is more and more hostile.
The new Code declares the Greco-Russian worship to
be the dominant religion in Poland, notwithstanding
that there are but a comparatively small number of per-
sons professing it in the country. Any one also may
pass from the Catholic worship to the Grece-Russian;
but if any ore passes from the latter to the former, he
is liable to be sent fur two years to the Caucasus, and
afterwards to be shut up in a convent, until he repents
his fault, and testifies his intention to turn back to his
old belief. In addition, from 1648, the Russian law re-
lative to mixed marriages is to be applied to the king-
dom of Poland, and all male children are to be brought
up in the Greco-Russian religion."
Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived.

VILELLA, the Carlist leader in Catalonia, is stated

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.

The Kuria was highly pleased, it was said, with
the reply of Lord PALMERSTON to the note proposing
a Congress on the affairs of Switzerland, and it was
supposed the congress would be held forthwith.
It was rumoured in Paris that 1,500 of the Son-
derbund troops of Uri had made a junction with
2,000 troops of Valais, and had made an irruption
into Tessino, where they had succeeded in taking
Airolo, after a severe action. This news, however,
wants confirmation.

The Presse states that the United States have
purchased the island of Syra of the Greek Govern-
ment for a sum equal i❑ amount to the debt due to
England, which will be discharged forthwith.
The same journal, in commenting on the sulking
of M. BOISLE.COMTE at Bale, says—
"lt may be said, without exaggeration, that the
French diplomacy in Switzerland stands in a bad posi-
tion. Austria, Prussia, and England, are in a much
better. And why ? Because these three Powers have
distinctly decided in advance upon the line of conduct
they intended to follow, and their agents have rigorously
remained within the terms of the part they were in-
structed to play. Some have taken their departure in
time, without seeking a pretext in calculated quarrel.
The rest have remained, but they have kept themselves
tranquil and completely isolated from the internal con-
flict. It is unfortunate that our representative should have
preferred adopting a neutrality of his own invention,
deprived of all the characters of a real neutrality, and
bordering closely an a rupture which does not even give
us the right of demanding reparation."
The Debats states that the French Chambers will
be convoked to meet on Tuesday, Dec. 28.

The Congitutionnel has a long article on the recent

PETITION AGAINST THE RETURN OF MR. HBALD.—
The supporters of Mr. Heald have been congratulating
themselves upon the improbability of the threatened
election petition being presented by Mr. Kershaw against
his return; but the proceedings during the present week
have placed the matter now beyond all doubt. A peti-
tion, founded upon corrupt practices, will be presented
to Parliament against Mr. Heald's seat, the required for-
mularies of swearing to depositions, entering into sure-
ties, &c., having been completed before the rector, a
county magistrate, on Monday afternoon.—Nancheeter

The Cotton Market at Liverpool had been firm. Sales,
4,500 bales. Railway Shares bad been steady, and
there was a fair business doing, holders being indisposed
to sell.

The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs.

upon last week's quotations. The following are a few

A correspondence has been published which has taken
place between the Committee of the Mexican Bond
holders and the Messrs. John Schnieder and Company,
the present agents of the Republic, relative to certain
bonds deposited in the Bank of England, and as to the
payment of as much of the dividend as can be done
out of funds in hand, namely, about one-half.
In the first case the agents are considered to have acted in
the right, and are to consent to the delivery of the bonds
(which represent 470,6101.) to the parties named in the
dispatches from the Mexican Government, as perchance
they may be thrown into circulation. The creditors of
Mexico do not think, however, that the agents,
Messrs. Schneider and Co., are acting right in
withholding the moiety of a dividend out
of funds acknowledged to be in hand here, and at their
command, upon the principle, we presume, that "half
a loaf is better than no bread." The correspondence is
too lengthy to be fully analyzed under this head.
A morning Contemporary reports, though indirectly
rather, that there is some shadow of truth in the
statement fist published by it, that the East
India Company has applied to the Bank of
England for a large loan of money to aid the treasury
of the former. The writer -wishes an authorised con-
tradiction to this assertion. This could easily be given.
We contradicted it from the very best authority, but if
the East India Company, or any other influential body,
were to be called upon to contradict every stock-jobbing
report, of a verity the directors would have a hard task
indeed. The assertion is, as before stated, wholly de-
void of foundation. Let our Contemporary give his
affirmative authority, as in duty bound to do, for the
bold assertion.

This is the settling day in the Consol Market,
and a scene of great confusion is there in conse-
quence in the Stock Exchange. Early two failures
were announced—Messrs. Whitmore and Son, and
MessrY. Secretan and Capper. The parties were very
large Bears. The account of the former hat been
principally bought in. The fluctuations in Consols
have been frequent. The opening value for this day
was 84 from which a rise occurred to 86t, and for
money to 86*. The more current value for the month
of January is 85} and for money 85 to 854. Ex-
chequer.bills are 3s. to ls. discount. The Three per
Cent. Reduced are at 83i 1, and the Thr( e-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. at 854. Since the above was written
two defaulters have been declared, namely, Mr. Eykyn
and Mr. Abbott. Their differences are said not to be
large.

The only quotations in the Foreign Market have been
of Mexican at 16, in Dutch Two-and a Half per Cents,
at 54i, and in the Four per Cents., certificates, at 834.
The Railway Share Market has been but little at-
tended to, the settlement in the Consol Market attracting
a most undivided interest and attention.

The weekly Court of the Directors of the Bank of
England has broken up without any notification being
issued that the rate of interest bad been further reduced.
It certainly was very generally anticipated that this
course would have been adopted, and the Funds fell back
in consequence.
