COUNTY DOWN.

The county of Down presents a most gratifying con-
trast with the alarming condition df the southern dis-
tricts to which I have referred. Chief Justice black-
borne, in addressing the grand jury of that county on
Friday, made the following remarks:—
" I am happy to say that the appearance of your
calendar testifies to the prevalence of the peace, order,
and tranquillity of your county, and I cannot help say-
ing that this fact, at the present time, must be a subject
of congratulation to every sincere lover of peace and
order. The general prosperity of your county is exceed-
ingly creditable, not only to those who are entrusted with
the preservation of the peace, but to the population of
the county also."

Mr. BLitt, Q.C., who addressed the juries on behalf of
Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher, in the recent State
has been retained for the defence of Mr. Duffy, at
the approaching commission.

TIIE CALEDONIAN ASTLUDI.—A special general
Court of the Governors of this Charity was held yes-
terday at the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-
street, Lord James Stuart in the chair. Mr. Sandford
proposed a resolution, to the off ct " that the special
court do delegate to the board ofldirtoters, the appoint-
ment of a superintendent and secretary." The resolu •
tion was adopted. Mr. Lindsey gave notice that at the.
next general court ho should propose what ho consi-
dered was a very important motion. At the present
time the children were obliged to leave the asylum at
the age of fourteen, and he proposed that the age
should be altered to fifteen. A governor said that the
Government Inspector, in making his report of the
asylum, had recommended that the children should bet
kept in the institution longer than they were at present.
It was a well known fact, and he (the governor) aistwhaitt

MONET. MARKuT.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 9 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.
17s. 101(1. per ounce for standard gold, gives au ex-
change of 25.37; and the exchange at Paris on ',notion
at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.31 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris. I3y advices from Data-
burgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.10 ; and, the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8 k,
it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Llamburgb,
than in London.

LONDON, TVESDAY, JULY 2S, 184&

At last the demagogues of Ireland will find that
they cannot embroil the people of these islands with
impunity either to themselves or to their wretched
subordinates. Nobly have the Lords and the Com-
mons fulfilled the expectations of England. What
April was in reference to the multitude, July has
roved in regard to the Legislature. When the
s
miserable rabble of the Chartists threatened an insur-
rection, all party feeling, all the invidious distinctions
of classes, ail the feuds and jealousies excited by re-
ligious differences, were forgotten on the instant.
The population rose to a man ; they stood side by
side—the' gentleman and the mechanic, the barrister
and the groom, the aristocrat and the shop.
keeper—brothers in the defence of their
nationality, fired by the same enthusiasm and
animatedrn
with the most stern determination to vindicate the
majesty of the law, the blessing of order, and the
glory of the Constitution. In a similar spirit the
two Houses of Parliament have responded to the
threat of rebellion on the part of the miserable Elm.
tions of Ireland. All the bickerings of political ani.
mosity are lost to the recollection in the indignation
excited by the diabolical efforts of the insurgent de-
mocrats beyond St. George's Channel. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL and the supporters of his overnment, Sir
ROBERT PEEL and his numerous foGllowers, JOSEPH
HUME, and those who were recently his liege-men
in the advocacy of Parliamentary reform, Protection-
ists, Radicals, Whigs, and Conservatives, the bur-
gesses from the manufacturing towns, and the
knights from the shires famous for their agricultural
enterprise--all combine to attest the fervour of their
loyalty
and the sincerity of their patriotism.
On Saturday the Government Bill for the Sus-
pension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland was passed
through all its stages in a single sitting of the House
of Commons through the preliminary forms,
through the first reading, through the second read-
ing, through Committee, clause by clause, and through
the final ordeal of the thirdreaodr in rapid suc-
cession. Yesterday the House
