few thousand pounds could be put in comparison
with correct information as to whether Ireland had
broken out into rebellion or not ? What is the
money cost as compared with the vast national agony
of doubt on so momentous a question ?
The distance between Dublin and Holyhead is
only about 65 miles; now, if four or five ves-
sels were stationed between these points to signal
intelligence, news of an authentic character could
be received in London from Dublin in about an hour !
We know that the electric telegraph is not yet com-
pleted from Chester to Holyhead, but the telegraph
from". Holyhead to Liverpool could communicate
signals from ships 10 or 15 miles at sea to the electric
telegraph at Liverpool, and so to London. This is a
matter so easily accomplished that we hope the Go-
vernment will not delay another day in putting it
in practice. They can thus inform themselves and
the public of the state of affairs in Ireland,
and transmit their orders to the Irish Government,
with a clear intelligence of what is best to be done.
In this instance knowledge is power.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING, HALF-PAST FIVE•

The accounts from the south of Ireland by the
trains from Carlow, Limerick, Cashel, Tipperary,
and Kilkenny, which arrived at three o'clock, are
that the utmost quiet prevailed throughout the
country.

A Privy Council was held this afternoon at Dub-
lin Castle, when proclamations were agreed to, offer-
ing rewards as follows :—" For the arrest of William
Smith O'Brien, 500/. ; for Francis T. Meagher, John
B. Dillon, and Michael Doheny, each or either 3001.,
to him who shall secure and deliver into safe custody
the persons aforesaid."
No limit of time is specified.

Shortly after four o'clock this afternoon the print-
ing-office of the Nation newspaper, in Sackville-
place, was visited by the police, who arrested the
printers there (eleven in number), and brought
them befere the magistrates in Henry-street Police-
office, when they were remanded till to-morrow
(Saturday) at twelve o'clock.
The publishing-office of the Nation newspaper, in
D'Olier-street, was about the same time taken pos-
session of by the police, who seized all the papers,
&c., found on the premises.
The five men arrested this morning at Blanchard's-
town, stowed in a covered car, with arms, ammuni-
tion, and two formidable pikes, were not brought
before the magistrates, but committed at once to
gaol under the recent Act. In consequence of Mr.
Smith O'Brien's proceedings at Mullinahone, near
Slievenamon, where a large meeting was lately held by
Mr. Doheny, Government have isued orders for the
formation of a camp there. At Piltown one is
already formed near the seat of the Earl of Bes-
borough.
The wounded policeman continues to improve.

At the Irish Mining Company's works, near Ba•
langurry (county Tipperary), all the men returned to
their work yesterday ; and all the arms that were
taken from several parties the day before were re-
stored to their owner.

On the receipt of the London evening papers of
yesterday (Thursday) considerable excitement was
occasioned in the public news-rooms on reading the
proceedings in both Houses of Parliament, in conse-
quence of the atrocious fabrication practised on the
London newspapers, which, from first to last, was a
tissue of falsehood.

the adjacent Germans in the general struggle for
the acquisition of social rights and political independ-
ence, awoke from their stupor—they became sanguine
—they thirsted for the semblance at least of that free-
dom which had hitherto mocked them like the phan-
toms of the Brocken in an intangible perspective.
Meanwhile the tidings of the popular achievement
among the Berliners came upon them as a confirma-
tion of these hopes—they were thrilled into enthu-
siasm by the reminiscences of their doomed patriotism
—they were startled into activity by the cries which
awoke an echo even among the mountains of Scan-
dinavia. Germany rose. Why not Poland ? Berlin
was in arms. Had Posen less grievances to
complain of, less liberty to acquire, less
sorrow to assuage ? It was such thoughts as
these that circulated with the swiftness of electricity
among the populace of Prussian Poland, it was this
that heated their imaginations, and made the heart
of Posen leap with a responsive joy at the sounds of
an almost übiquitous revolution. The province rose;
25,000 men were up and in arms before the sunset of
the 27th of March; a Provisional Committee was
improvised—not to overthrow the Prussian func-
tionaries, not to retaliate in the moment of success,
not to revenge themselves upon their late masters for
their insolence, but to proclaim an oblivion of the
past, to call the Germans and the Jews their
brethren, and to enjoin order, peace, and respect
towards the KING'S authority. Every one re-
members what followed—that not merely were those
Poles liberated who had been incarcerated for
having participated in the abortive conspiracy
of 1846—that not merely were the Polish students of
the University armed by MINUTOLI, the chief of the
Burgher Guard—that not merely was the Posen de-
putation received by the SOVEREIGN—but that Ge-
neral WILLISEN was at once dispatched as the KING'S
Commissary, with full powers to enter immediately
upon the reorganization of Posen. Meanwhile it will
not have been forgotten tbat 45,000 Prussian troops
had arrived in the duchy headed by General
STEINECKER and General CoLosm, that 15,000 of
these soldiers occupied the city of Posen, and
that on the 3d of April martial law was
proclaimed in that capital without the know-
ledge, much less without the permission of the
Minister of War. What was the occult cause of all
this ? Is it not visible ? The cause was as mon-
strous and inhuman as the result. It was a brutal
solicitude on the part of the soldiery to wipe out the
remembrance of their disgraceful defeat in Berlin by
a massacre in the Polish province. The people of
Posen became the innocent objects of the vengeance
upon an evil fortune. They began. BROCK,
.the
Polish Commissary, was murdered in the discharge of
his duties as civilian. Count POTOCKI was assassi-
nated by the ruffians he had scarcely an instant
before saved from destruction. LIPSKI and
his brother, although bearing a flag of truce
across the frontiers, were slain by a party
of Hussars. The Polish academic legion was dis-
armed ignominiously, and cast without remorse into
confinement. The camp at Xionz became the scene
of an indiscriminate butchery. The sudents at
Pogrzybow were subjected to diabolical ill-treat-
ment. Surgeons were stabbed while attending the
wounded priests while burying the dead—the
wounded in the hospitals were slaughtered—prisoners
were roasted to death by slow fires, or, if liberated,
they were submitted to hideous mutilation, their
right hands and ears being scorched and excoriated
by vitriol. Nor must it be imagined that these infa-
mous proceedings are to this day discontinued. They
are of perpetual recurrence; " for," says the pam-
phlet (page 16), " they (the troops and intriguers)
know very well that as soon as hostile proceedings
are terminated, the Polish cause will again become
popular in all Germany." Besides these physical
and personal evils, the Poles of Posen are liable,
moreover, to loss of property, such, for instance, as
that.sustained the other day by Countess RACZYNSKA,
when her castle at Rogalin was sacked and committed
to the flames.

While all these atrocities are recorded against the
Prussians, it is proved, on the incontestible evidence of
the Archbishop of POSEN, of Prince CZARTORYSKI,
of General WlLLismc, and of M. FISCHER, one of the
highest legal authorities in the province, that through-
out the Poles have been strictly on the defensive, and
have given noble evidences of meekness, humanity,
and forgiveness. And what has been the recompense
of Posen ? A fresh spoliation of its territories ! A
spoliation which, to use the words of the patriotic
ARCHBISHOP, " is contrary to every law, contrary to
the treaty of Vienna, contrary to the law of nations."
In forcibly separating the city of Posen and ten of
the adjacent districts from the rest of the duchy, the
Ministry of Berlin have meanly endeavoured to
shelter themselves from the exclusive odium of the
transaction, by deluding the Diet of Frankfort into a
certain degree of complicity. Such has been the
perfidy of Prussia ; such is the miserable condition of
Posen.

A more important document has seldom emanated
from a Committee of either House of 'Parliament
than the report of the Secret Committee of the House
of Lords, appointed " to inquire into the causes of
the distress which for some time prevailed among the
commercial classes, and how far it has been affected
by the laws for regulating the issue of Bank notes
payable on demand," a portion of which appears in
another part of our impression of this day. That
report was anxiously looked for by the public. It
was hoped that the subject would be fully investi-
gated by men who had not made up their minds as
to the nature of the report they would return previ-
ously to entering upon the inquiry. The jury
was 710 i packed, and a true verdict according
to the evidence might reasonably be looked for. That
expectation has not been disappointed. Their Lord-
ships have fairly and impartially considered the evi-
dence that has been adduced before them, and they
have not shrunk from the responsibility of forming a
decisive opinion upon the interesting question sub-
mitted to their consideration, nor of giving full and
unequivocal expression to that opinion, which was not
arrived at without the most attentive examination ,of
the premises.
A great contrast, indeed, exists between the
preSent document and the report of the Commit-
tee of the House of Commons upon the same
subject. In the latter the real question
was studiously avoided. Not the slightest allusion
was made to " how far the distress had been
affected by the laws for regulating the issue of Bank-
notes payable on demand. True it is, that they
jumped at the conclusion that it was not advisable to
make any change in the existing monetary code, but the
public were left wholly in the dark as to the reasons
by which they had been influenced in coming to that
decision. Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir CHARLES
WOOD declared that it was expedient :that the
measure, of which Mr. JONES LOYD was the
putative parent, but of which they were the Par-
liamentary sponsors, should be maintained in all its
stringency ; but they did not condescend to tell us
what effect that Act had either in producing or in
aggravating the intensity of the commercial crisis, or
of the fearful panic, and the total suspension of credit
that ensued, and which threatened to involve the en-
tire nation in a general bankruptcy. In like
manner they merely reported, in general language,
the opinions of various witnesses, but they did not
venture to state any precise or definite conclu-
sion arrived at in consequence of that testimony.
All was meagre and unsatisfactory, and very different
indeed from what might have been expected from
sagacious aud experienced statesmen, who had formed
enlarged and comprehensive views respecting an in-
tricate and difficult question of national policy. But
in truth they, or we should rather say, the majority
acted the part rather of retained advocates than of
enlightened and impartial judges. Under any cir-
cumstances they were resolved to continue the re-
strictions on the national currency imposed by the
Act of 1844, to retain the impediments thereby
thrown in the way of the productive classes,
and to prevent that expansion of credit which
might enable the mercantile and manufacturing
interests to accumulate lsrge fortunes, and thus
to obtain entrance into the aristocratic ranks. Like
experienced counsel, when entrusted with a bad cause,
they contented themselves with mystifying the sub-
ject, and as they wer
wouldew
well aware
be closelywarethat canvassed,
and they might put forward
and any fallacy immediately dete,:tedand clearly ex-
posed, they merely pronounced
their judgment
without stating the grounds on which it rested.
Of a very different character, however, is the re-

cent report of the Lords' Committee. There the
members were impartially and fairly selected. It is
true that a very considerable number of the late and
of the present Ministry were placed thereon, but they
were not so immediately responsible to the country
for the measure itself, as those who were nominated
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It will, how-
ever, be manifest that nothing involving the condem-
nation of the financial Ministers of both Cabinets would
be resolved upon by a Committee so constituted, ex-
cept under the pressure of an irresistible necessity.
The following noblemen were those appointed to act
upon the Committee, viz. :—The Duke of Richmond,
Earl Grey, Earl of Auckland, Marquis of Salisbury,
Lord Ashburton, Lord Brougham, Earl of Ellen-
borough, Earl St. Germans, Lord Glenelg, Lord
Beaumont,
_Earl Granville, Lord Ardrossan, Lord
Linnaird, Lord Wharncliffe, Marquis ocelanricarde,
Lord Stanley, Lord Monteagle, Lord Campbell, and
the Marquis of Lansdowne. It will therefore appear
that of the nineteen Lords of which it consisted, there
were no less than six members of the present Cabinet,
viz., Earl Grey, the Earl of Auckland, Earl Gran-
ville, Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Campbell, and the
Marquis of Lansdowne; while there were four mem-
bers of Sir R. PEEL'S Ministry at the time of the
passing of the Act, viz., the Earl of Ellenborough,
Earl of St. Germans, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord
Stanley. It will therefore be seen that an absolute
majority consisted of members of both Cabinets, and
that in addition we had four others who formerly
held office with Lord JOHN RUSSELL. One of the re-
mainder, namely, Lord ASHBURTON, whose vast com-
mercial experience rendered his opinion of the utmost
value, unfortunately died before the completion of the
report. Whatever prejudice, however, might have been
entertained by any of their Lordships in favour of
their present or their late colleagues in the Ministry,
it did not prevent them from faithfully and honoura-
bly discharging the important duty confided to their
hands. In the execution of that trust they have been
called upon to state their opinion of the operation of
the Bank Charter Act, and they have accordingly
most distinctly
and unequivocally condemned the
law on various grounds, and adduced reasons for that
condemnation, which must prove perfectly conclusive
to any person who sits down to the perusal of the
report with an unprejudiced and unbiassed mind.
'We regret that we cannot this day enter into the
various topics which have been handled in so mas-
terly a manner by the Committee ; we shall, how-
ever, on an early occasion return to the consideration
of the subject.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.

said to be among the slain.
An accident happened to the suspension-bridge of
Pesth, on the 18th, in the evening. A ring of one
of the chains broke, and the chain fell on the bridge,
which sunk beneath the weight with a dreadful
crash ; several lives are said to have been lost.

PRUSSIA.
M. CAMPHAUSEN has been nominated Prussian
Minister at Frankfort.

DENIVIARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 24th gives a let-
ter from Altona of the 22d, which says—
" The negotiations for peace have recommenced. The
English Ambassador, Wynn; the Swedish Envoy, Baron
Bugeshim ; and General Oxholm, attended by the
Chamberlain, Von Redtz, have set out for Snoghoi by
the steamer Hanla, from whence they will repair to the
Prussian headquarters, and renew the negotiations for
peace. It appears, however, that even in Denmark the
success of these negotiations is doub►ed, for the Danish
journals announce that the Swedish troops assembled at
Faaberg have received orders to keep themselves in rea-
diness fur marching."

A meeting took place at six o'clock in Bellune,
near Folding, which lasted till half-past ten.
On the morning of the 20th, the English and
Swedish Ambassadors and General OxiroLsr returned
to Copenhagen, and the Chamberlain REDTZ to the
Danish head•quarters. Nothing was made known
respecting the result of their deliberations, but the
Berlinger Zeitung says that the armistice was not
concluded.
The Waldemir and the Thetis have sailed north•
wards with troops. Four Prussian ships were con-
demned yesterday.

ITALY.

ROME.

INSURRECTION IN THE LEGATIONS.

A telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris
from Bologna, which announces that four of the
Legations have thrown off the rOFE'S authority, and
formed a Provisional Government of which Count
BIANCUINI is President at Bologna. The Provisional
Government undertakes to arrange every thing for a
vigorous prosecution of the war against Austria, and
is acting perfectly independent of Rome. The Lega-
tions will, in all probability, form part of the new
kingdom of Upper Italy, or join Tuscany. The Mani-
maniani Ministry still continued in office at Rome.
