LONDON, TJESD Y, OCTOBER 13, 1846,

Now that circumstances may be presumed to have
conducted the machinations of the Count DE BRESSON
to their consummation, it becomes a matter of pecu-
liar interest to observe the relative position
assumed at this moment by the various per-
sonages implicated therein. And, notwithstanding
that the members cf the Camarilla may con-
gratulate themselves upon the temporary success
which has attended their arrangements, it is
manifest that the present is bat a poor opportunity for
the indulgence either of exultation or confidence.
Everything that ingenuity could suggest for the
speedier accomplishment of the marriages has been
hastened forward; all unnecessary procrastination
from the interference of English diplomacy
has been avoided by returning no immediate
answer to the protest thereby transmitted ; every
circumstance that could tend to facilitate the progress
of the French Princes through the provinces of- the
Peninsula relays of post-horses, squadrons of
cavalry, the terrible guardianship of 12-pounders,
the "huzzas" of a gold-loving and wine-bibbing
rabble—has been skilfully pre •arranged by the crea-
tures of the Gallic embassy and the satellites of the
obsequious ISTURITZ. So far these hymeneal pre-
liminaries have prospered ; but the consequences of
this specious precipitation still remain of a very
dubious character, and assume, if that be possible,
a yet more threatening appearance. Their Roya
Highnesses are reported to have passed into the epa.
nigh capital amidst an impassive multitude of
spectators ; not a hat was raised, not a
handkerchief fluttered, not a shred of tapestry dis•
played, not a Viva uttered from the Calles Fuencarre,
to the gateway of the palace, saving a few hired accla-
mations from a little bodyguard of " the un-
washed ;" not a single congratulatory bonfire in the
squares of Burgos ; not a solitary cheer from the
citizens of Madrid, or from the inhabitants of its en-
virons I If this Le not a sufficient indication of the
unwelcome nature of this Montpensier alliance, there
are numberless others proving it to be entirely of
a compulsory, and not of a popular character
Among these may be enumerated the sr cret distri-
bution of inflammatory appeals to the popu-
lace, the continued seizure of the Liberal
newspapers, and the confinement of different indi-
viduals who are known to be inimical to the
marriage. These, and numberless other circum-
stances, testify as to how unpalatable this diplomatic
device is among the more sincere lovers of Spanish

independence, and these are, fortunately for hu-

nullity and civilisation, the vast majority of the

IRELAND.
STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

DUBLIN, OCT. 10.—The intelligence from the pro-
vinces, received theough the country papers, both ver.-
terday and this moroing, is extremely meagre. With
the exception of cer gain districts in the county of Cork,
there are no fresh symptoms of disturbance, beyond the
assembla es, natural under the circumstances, of l-rge
bodies of unemployed men seeking for work, in order to
proedte the means of subsistence. Universrl and well-
founded are the compla;nts of the long delays that have
ensued between the holding of the presentment sessions
and the carrying out of the Labour Rate Acl in the
spirit of its strict meaning. The landlords have, no
doubt, fulfilled their duties ; baronial sessions have met,
and gentry and cesspayers have quietly submitted to a
taxation in many instances thrice exceeding the income
of the bno.,ies, to be assessed according to the required
valuation ; but up to the present not a spode has been
put into the err* no works of a " profitable" or " un-
profitable" natw e have been set agoing ; and, judging
' from the tkie that has been already consumed, and as
Lord Beebwoef;li's recent circular necessitates the re-
, holding of trec', presentment sessions, which are now at
liberty to secs for works of a reproductive kind, fur-
ther procrastination seems to be almost inevitable. In
the meantime, whether justly or not, this apparent su-
pineness is daily detracting from the confidtnee hitherto
reposed in the Government. At a very full repeal
gathering held in Cork, the Premier's inability to in. et
the pending crisis was the theme of a leading speaker,
while—tell it not in Derrynane—She Robert Peel was
lauded to the skies as the trustworthy pilot, the only
statesman fit to weather the storm. In the following ac-
counts of the stare of the disturbed districts of Cork,
abridged from the Southern Reporter, will also be found
s•nne not over-complimentary allusion to the Whig Prime
Minister :

pletely removes it. Children's coughs, as well as recent ones in
adults, *ill be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and
asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in

" We'll away, and
have a walk just as far as the bridge." We went as far
as the bridge, all of us. Catherine Raine and Joseph
Yates went first, then me and Raine, and then Breckon
and Barker. Yates and Catherine Raine were both very
much in liquor. I can't say how the prisoners were in
Raine said, " We'll go over the bridge," and we
went down the sills. I know the tram-wall. We had
not got down the flags when Raine said to me that
" Yates had some money—how must they do to get it
from him?" Yates and Catherine Raine were then
going down the sills also. I said, " Poor little fellow,
don't meddle of him—he will spend it among you." We
went a little further down the sills, and then Barker
came in front of us, and he said, " Noow, Jos, does thou
intend to go to York against me for that coat?" Yates
said, " He could do no other than go agoinst him."
Barker said, "He should never have the chance of
it." He said no more till we got to the end of the
tram-wall, e.nd then Barker asked Yates for
money. Yatea said he would not give them a half-
penny, but he was willing to spend it amongst them.
He then asked him again if he was going to York
against him, and Yates said he could do no other than

Ko against him. BArker said, " Then you -, you
shall never have the chance." Yates cried out, " Don't
knock my eyes out." Raine and Breckon then
went up, and there were heavy blows struck, but I don't
know which of them struck those blows. Yates then

cried out 6' murder," and Catherine shrieked out too ;

and Barker turned 'to us and said, if we did shout out

again, ho would throw us into the water. I did not cry
out. Catherine and I were standing together, up against
the wall. We had got past the flsgs then. Yates cried
out, " Oh dear, oh dear, is there no one to help me ?" I
knew Yates before. He wai like a woman shouting out
more than a man. Barker said, " Yes, he could help him."
Then they all three came a little distance from him, and
Raine reckoned some money over and said there Was 10s.

STOPPAGE OF PUBLIC WORKS IN CLARE.
ENNIS, DEC. 17.—We regret to have to state Ciat
the officers of the Board of Works have found it neix s-
sary to suspend some of the works at present going for-
ward in the parish of Kilmaley, in consequence of the
labourers using violence towards the stewards, and
driving them away from the works, because they were
strangers in the neighbourhood. The works about to be
stopped in consequence of this are—the new road from
Lnughbarke to Kilrush mail road; also Gurtiganiv hills,
and the new road at Aughalana.

REPEAL SECESSION—THE CONFERENCE.
The following letter from Mr. O'Connell appeared in
the Pilot of last night:—
" Merrion-square, 18th Decmber, 1846.
" My dear Barrett,—Mr. Smith O'Brien having pub-
lished his letter to me, as he had a full right to do, I beg
you to publish my reply.
"Is it not the most strange of all imaginable strange
things that the seceders should refuse to allow the legal
basis of the Association to be ascertained and settled?—
even in the most amicable way.
" Is it their intention, seriously, to leave that question
to be settled, at the peril of our liberty and lives, by a
one sided judge, and a shameless jury?—or any judge,
or any jury?

"It was rather scant of courtesy' for Mr. Duffy and
his party to have published, without my permission, or
without giving me any intimation of their intention, a
conversation that took place in my house, at their re-
quest.

" I, however, scorn to complain; but of error, not to
say evil, some good frequently comes— as in this in-
stance their publication has, fortunately, displayed the
cloven hoof, by their crafty, but incautious, manifesta-
tions of their anti-religious principle, by which they
would feign take from the- Catholic people of Ireland the
protection of the Repeal Association.
"Their fourth instruction on that subject is, according
to the just remark of your contemporary, the Freeman,
meaningless, or most mischievous.' But what else could
be expected from men who could listen to, and applaud,
an attack upon the character of one of the most esti-
mable, as well as the most amiable, of human beings—
the Lord Bishop of Elphin—so long cherished as the
dove of Galway?' Ever faithfully yours,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 18.—At nine o'clock this morning
the St. Vincent, Victory, Vengeance, Penelope, and
other ships in harbour, dressed in colours to receive her
Majesty on her return from the Isle of Wight to
Windsor.

The Polyphemus steam-vessel, Commander James J.
M'Cleverty, tailed last night soon after sunset, to distri-
bute water ar.cl provisions to such distressed merchant
vessels as she may find windbound in the Channel.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. F. Lapidge,
has been found on examination to be very defective in
her hull, and as her repairs will require docking and
occupy some considerable time, she has been ordered to
Sheerness for that purpose, all our docks but one being
fully occupied, and that one will be wanted earlier than
her repairs can be completed. She is expected to sail
to-morrow.

The Sinbad lighter sailed this morning for Woolwich
and Deptford.
The Myrtle steam tender, Mr. Balliston, Second Master
Commanding, was taken into the bean to-day to make
good defects. _ _

The Emerald tender returned yesterday from Jersey,
with newly raised men and boys for the service.
The Hampshire (timber barque) was floated on Wed-
nesday night, and was taken into the Camber yesterday
to have her ballast trimmed, and the vessel put to rights
after her week's immersion.

The Penelope steam frigate, Captain W. Giffard, was
removed from her hulk yesterday, and placed at moor-
ings to try her compasses. The Cyclops took her place
alongside the Blake hulk to refit.

In—Harbour—The St. Vincent, Victory, Vengeance,
Victoria and Albert, Excellent, Naiad, Sparrow, and
Penelope ; the Cyclops, Fairy, and Echo steamers.

The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 is already
in oar hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so
laborious, erensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved.
It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former
reputation, it Is a great merit to have surpasied itself. The produc-
tion of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in
the hands of the commercial pablic a most valuable and indispensable
'aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would
indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it
were not fora work of this kind. In a short time our readers will
have theopportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing.the new
volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in anydegree exaggerated.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21,1846.

The Frenelt people have done themselves credit by theirlndustrial
expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though ingeni xis
and pretty, they appear quite insignifica,tt compared with the indus-
trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep.
ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still
increases iii balk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society
in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity
of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete
classific dion. We find in this volume many instances of superiority
to former issues, which, though eomparatively trifling, show the in-
telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men-
tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re-
sidence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and
the value of the " Directory" is consequently enhanced. We have
before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper manage eat of
bukiuess. Its authority is now so universallyestablished,botUrag—

matter of course, and the first commission, he contended,
extended over the whole period the security was given,
the bonds being treated as one continuous security.
This was the usual course of Custom-house business, the
only charge beyond the first commission being some fees
to the officers for the preparation of the renewed bonds.

tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In
the preface, the proprietor maintains that the high character of the
work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post Office;
for an important change has been gradually introduced into the
manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the
work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely
unconnected with the Post Office, this being in great part the plan of
compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor
rested content with his past success, but has introduced many im-
portant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk
without any increase in price. The " Postal Directbry" Is especially
improved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume
to insure its zompleteness. The compilation must be a Yost labour,
to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains-
taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a
very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust tile
enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will find that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial coun-
try this is an indispensable volume.

years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late NIPPON and BURTON'S)
chemically purified material has been before it (made into every
useful and ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as
it does, the characteristic purity and durab lity of silver), has called
into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin
Silver," and other so called substitutes ; they are at best but bad
imitations of the genuine articles manufactured, and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED. —The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S.- BURTON (late
RIPPON and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of
Messrs. Elkington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best
article, next to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either
asefhlly or ornamentally. In the lengthened and Increasing popu-
larity of the material itself, and the high character of the method of
plating, the public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S.
Burton (and by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably
superior to what can be supplied at any other house, while by no
possible test can they be distinguished from real silver.

took place in the town until three o'clock in the after-
noon, when several carts laden with flour were attacked
in Irishtown by an immense concourse of women and
children—the men taking no part in the affAir. They
succeeded in wresting three sacks off the cars, but, in
their hurry, excitement, and confusion, they cut and
injured a great number of bags, the contents of which
were strewed over the road and along the street, several
inches deep.
" The police were immediately at the scene of out-
rage, and succeeded -in capturing several famishing
women, whom they lodged in gaol. The outskirts and

The multitude of obstacles to the improvement of
pasture land, the reclamation of waste land, and the
manuring and drainage of arable land in Ireland, have
hitherto acted most prejudicially upon the agriculture
of that country, and have tended more than anything,
else to prevent the peasantry from obtaining employ-
ment. There has been all along an inexhaustible
wealth buried and locked up in the mountains—it has
only required an " Open Sesame", to afford the
starving population access to those riches. A number
of spurious Aer BABAS have started up from time to
time, crying aloud " Barley !" and so forth, to no
purpose. The portals of agrarian wealth have re-
mained closed. The true talisman has not been dis-
covered. The land has continued to be undrained,
unmanured, and unremunerative. The embarrass-

increased. The people have found a greater difficulty in
obtaining work—and starvation and beggary have ex-
tended in proportion.' Knowingthe generous and fruit-
ful character of the Irish soil, when properly cultivated,
and remembering the miserably neglected condition
of Irish agriculture, it is impossible not to be im-

HERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846,

The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge-
mentin the price. The continued enterprising spirit with Ns hich this
important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national
work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not
whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in
the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the
hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might
over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted,
surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the
consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down
the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces-
sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of
the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere
connexion of the ' Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all,
contributed to its present high character. That the improvements
(the result of many years of unwearied toll and application on the
part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre-
ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory'
passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully
with this—they have disappeared."

the annoyance and inconvenience consequent upon the present dis-

particle of soot entering the apartment. A short time ago
an experiment was made with this apparatus At the House of
Commons, the success of which was complete. Sneets of writing
paper were placed upon the chimney-piece, and in various other
parts of the room, and after the completion of the sweeping not one
particle of soot was discernible upon any of the sheets of paper.
