THE SUN, LONDON, WE MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1846.

Ministers and other leading functionaries of these
realms at the first festive entertainment of the LORD
MAYOR, is an additional ingredient of laudable exulta-
tion with the citizens, and never fails to clothe their
magnificent hospitality with especial importance in
the eyes of a loyal and admiring public. The
circumstance, too, that this great civic fête occurs at
a period of the year when Parliament is not sitting,
leads men to listen to the responsive speeches of the
Ministers with more than ordinary anxiety, in order
that they may the better judge of the internal and
external prospects of the country. The approach of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the banquetting-hall was
greeted with the utmost cordiality ; it could not well
have been otherwise. Apart from the fact of his
being one of their own representatives, the citizens
could not be unmindful that his Lordship was
the Prime Minister of England. They must have
remembered also at the moment when the Premier
drew forth their plaudits, that after he had been re-
jected as a Minister by Parliament, on account of his
declared adhesion to the principles of free trade, he,
for the first time, presented himself, under great dis-
advantages, as a candidate for the city of London ;
that they returned him to the House of Commons,
where his principles triumphed, and that the digni-
fied position of the Chief of the Cabinet had devolved
upon the object of their choice. In our review of yester-
day of the intelligence received from Ireland we ex-
pressed an assurance that the murrain in the potato has
not been so extensively disastrous as has for a long time
been apprehended ; and we are happy to observe that
the LORD MAYOR, whilst proposing the health of her
MAJESTY'S Ministers, and expressing his confidence
that they would do all in their power to mitigate the
calamity, stated " it was not so great as it had been
represented to be." Sir GEORGE CARROLL iS no
mean authority on these matters. He was actively
engaged in commercial business between thirty and
forty years, and conducted extensive financial
operations with the leading capitalists of Lon-
don. The merchants in our city have the swiftest,
the most precise, and the fullest information
upon everything affecting the trade and commerce o
the country. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, " a sort
lof electric telegraph communicates to the citizens of
London all that happens in every part of the empire."
We are satisfied that Sir GEORGE CARROLL would
not speak upon so momentous a subject as the failure
of a crop, which has brought thousands to the brink
of starvation, with insufficient data, or without due
reflection. In this view, then, we hail with grateful
delight the confirmation by the LORD MAYOR of our
impression, that the dispensation of PROVIDENCE has not
been so severe as was originally credited. But, be it
great or small, the Premier only dii justice to his
audience when he declared, that "at whatever is
matter of joy they rejoice—in every matter of la-
mentation they hasten to contribute their utmost to
alleviate and remedy the distress." This sentiment
was loudly cheered, and the Irish may take comfort
in the persuasion that, whatever may be the amount
of assistance the Minister may think should be
afforded them by England under their present afflic-
tions, the wealthy, enlightened, and benevolent of
the mightiest city in the world will gladly counte-
nance. In all seasons of public distress the sym-
pathy, humanity, and generosity of the city of
London have ever been most prominent. So prover-
bial, indeed, have become these ennobling charac-
teristics of our citizens, that whenever, through ex-
tensive conflagrations, vast inundations, or other de-
plorable visitations, the cities and properties of foreign
lands have been consumed or devastated, to England,
in chief, have their appeals for alleviation been
directed, and never in vain. If such is the active
spirit with which England stretches the hand of suc-
cour to distant shores whence the cry of distress has
been wafted to our own, Ireland may rely upon it
that in the hour of need the munificence will be forth-
coming to assuage her sorrows. But, whilst we are
confident of this, we are nevertheless deeply grateful
for the belief that the produce of the sister isle has
not been so fearfully smitten as was anticipated.

Nothing has latterly indicated more conspicuously
the diversity of human opinion upon the principle
which should be regarded as the primum mobile of
legislation as the recent struggle connected with
British agriculture. Qnot homilies tot sententice was
never more strikingly illustrated than on the occasion
of the last Parliamentary campaign. " Restrictive
imposts are protective of native industry," said one ;
The corn-laws diminish home eonsumption and cripple
our insular agriculturists," said another; "Free-
trade doctrines will produce a national bankruptcy,"
said the alarmier.. ti „lass monopoly hp -Z-25,41
orthwith we cannot answer for the consequences,"
threatened the enthusiastic advocates of the popular
policy. One cried, " The markets will be swamped
by an inundation of foreign grain ;" another, "Bread
may become cheaper, but wages will proportionably
diminish ;" another, "Prices will remain stationary
under all circumstances, and the speculators will be
alone benefited ;" another, " Our farming interests
will be sacrificed for the emolument of our manufac-
turers." Every shadow of difference in deduction
from the same identical facts variously handled, was
perceptible even in the discussions of our representa-
tive legislators. They were unquestionably divided
into two antagonistic forces ; but each force
numbered an astonishing variety of intellectual
weapons. The continuation of the restrictions upon
importation and exportation was advocated in every
conceivable manner; the supposed perils derivable
from the doctrines of commercial emancipation were
in like manner considered under every imaginable
aspect. The same statistical calculations fell under
the immediate observation of every one, but almost
every separate individual regarded those calculations
through a novel medium ; the figures were transposed,
and the results distorted according to the bias of
each observer. Among the protectionists alone we
coul:1 illustrate our meaning by an extraordinary di-
versity of examples, from Lord STANLEY himself down
to the most leaden-headed wine-bibber on the back
benches of an agricultural demonstration.
As time elapses, and the consequences of Sir
ROBERT PZEL'S commercial measure becomes
more apparent, those varieties of opinion
are assuming to themselves a most Protean and cha-
melion-like fluctuation. Animosity is dwindling
into indifference, indifference is merging into asto-
nishment, astonishment is resolving itself into en-
thusiasm. We shal ultimately behold the bitterest
enemies of the League swelling the ranks of its dis-
ciples and admirers. One by one the great landed
proprietors of the kingdom have confessed the fallacy
of their original impressions ; one after another they
are bowing with submission to the majesty of Uni. ,
versal Truth.
During the festivities appertaining to the rent-day
at \Vynyard Park on Friday, the 6th instant, a re-
markable oration was delivered to his tenantry by
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. There were
no evidences of legislative sagacity in this
oration ; its induction was not astonishing
for any display of profundity in the know-
ledge and application of political economy; nor,
indeed, was there any approach to oratorical excel-
lence even in its peroration. Nevertheless, we dis-
tinctly maintain that the speech delivered on this
occasion by Lord LONDONDERRY, meagre in illustra-
tion, and inartistic in arrangement as it undoubtedly
%s as, harried with it, on the whole, a
'narked and
significant importance. The Noble Marquis, cheered by
the flourishing condition of his rent. roll, and exulting in
the accurate balance of the accounts between himself
and his numerous tenantry, takes a retrospective re-
view of the consequences of the policy sanctioned by
the Legislature during the last session of the Imperial
Parliament. And what, in brig, may be asked, were
the reflections excited by the retrospection of one so
deeply and personally interested in the prosperity of
the agriculture of Great Britain ? Briefly, they were
these. Lord LONDONDERRY could not help acknow-
ledging that prices have continued rising steadily
up to the last market-day! that fariners in the ag-
gregate were never in a more prosperous condition !
that he himself hail a convincing testimony that
this prosperity was not superficial, seeing that two
only out of his whole body of tenantry were in arrears !
Beyond this, he felt peculiar satisfaction in declaring
that rents were in no instance diminishing! and that, on
theb contrary, there was no prospect whatever of their

fr
; logic is a capital n
its way :

but the punctuallity of payment in a tenant,
the melodious ringing of gold coin and the crumpling
of bank-notes in the fingers of a steward, are more
convincing than the masterpiece of the most con-
summate logician. Lord LONDONDERRY recognises
the foolishness of the mournful anticipations indulged
in by -the protectionists ; he recognises their foolish-
ness in the happiness of his tenantry, and in the
replenishment of his coffers. Beholding the pros-
perity that has, in his experience, resulted from the
recent Parliamentary changes, the Noble Marquis
reprobates the asperities of language and occasicnally
the miserable personalities by which those changes
were accompanied ; he avouches that much exaggera-
tion was visible in the picture variously but darkly
painted by the imaginations of the most eminent up-
holders of protection. In the conduct of the late
Prime Minister he does not perceive anything re-
quiring apology. " Sir ROBERT PEEL," says he,
was the Minister of the country, not of a party."
According to the aspersers of that Right Honour-
able Baronet, the nation was to be involved in
difficulties immediately upon the acceptation of his
measures of mercantile reform—according to the
admiring and grateful contemporaries of that great
statesman, general advantages would, on the contrary,
result therefrom. The former assertion has been
laughed to scorn by the verification of the latter.
Simple and unassuming as was the oration of the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it is likely to prove one
of eminent utility. It is the approval wrung from a
landowner by the realisation of some amongst the fair-
est dreams of the free-traders—those dreams which
were once regarded as the visions of Utopia.

The admirable letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the
Duke of LEINSTER, to which we have already
directed the public attention, has roused the ire of
the Earl of DESART, who has published what he calls
a vindication of himself and his brother landlords
from the charges supposed to be contained therein. It
is said that the Noble Earl is a candidate for the vacant
representative peerage occasioned by the death of the
late Marquis of THOMOND, hence his readiness to
rush into print to attack the sagacious statesman at
the head of the Ministry, in order that the noble
electors may have an opportunity for judging of his
qualifications, and seeing on what slender grounds he
can carp at the Government and pour forth his spleen
against the Executive.
Lord Joux—in stating the course pursued by the
Administration in authorising the Lord-Lieutenant
to deviate from the letter of the law, and
to give his sanction to advances being made for
useful and profitable works, although of a private
nature, thus taking upon themselves a great and. se-
rious responsibility, for which a Parliamentary in-
demnity will be required—stated the views which the
Cabinet had formed as to the practical working of
the Labour-rate Act. He said,- "It had been our
hope and expectation that landed proprietors would
have commenced works of drainage and other im-
provements on their own account, thus employing the
people on their own estates, and rendering the land
more productive for the future. In that case it would
have been only the surplus labour which would have
been employed on roads and other works not imme-
diately profitable." Lord DESART immediately be-
comes indignant at what, we must confess, appears
to us a rather natural expectation. It is reason-
able to hope that every subject will discharge
the duties incidental to his position. It is especially
the duty of every landowner to provide adequate em-
ployment for the labouring poor belonging to his es-
tate ; he should either provide them with useful occu-
pation likely to afford a fair return for the amount
expended, or he should make up his mind to support
them in idleness, and not to cast upon others the
burden which in justice and equity should fall upon
himself. And it might fairly be calculated, that in
the pressing difficulties in which the country has
been placed, some, at least, of the body would strive
efficiently to perform their part, and to employ the
people on their own estates. This, however, appears
a monstrous supposition to Lord DESART. He cannot
hear it " without entering his protest against the im-
plication of neglect of duty on the part of the Irish
landlords." The manner in which his Lordship proceeds
to prove that they have fulfilled their duties, and
that an unjust and unfounded aspersion has been cast
upon them by the implication of neglect, is essentially
Irish ; he divides them into two classes, those who
have hitherto neglected and those who have performed
their duties, and lie attempts to show that from
neither of these can anything be expected at the pre-
sent time. lie asks—
« es.— CO John Russell here allude to those who
have hitherto neglected their estates ? If so, surely his
knowledge of human nature must have been sufficient to
all him that those whom neither a sense of interest nor
mutual obligation had hitherto been able to incite to a
performance of their duties would not be likely to come
forward at this crisis. But if he alludes to the resident
and improving proprietors, how does he expect them,
with a diminished rental and increased burdens, to create
a new fund to meet the present emergency ? If they
have hitherto done their duty, they have employed their
available income in carrying out improvements on their
properties ; and, in the present times, it will require the
utmost economy on their parts to continue (nut to in-
crease) the number of their labourers.
This is, indeed, rather a curious vindication of the
Irish landlords. One section have always neglected
their estates. It ie, therefore, absurd to suppose that
they will be stimulated even by the present emer-
gency, and all that will he in the power of the other
is to continue the former quantity of labour. Lord
Dasarer should know that if the landlord of the latter
class had fully performed his duty there would be no
pressure or necessity in his immediate neighbour-
hood,—every man belonging to his lands would be
provided with sufficient work thereon, without being
compelled to seek it from other sources; but he seems
to think that the landlords are to do nothing them-
selves, but that everything is to be pro-
vided for them by the State. The English land-
lords obtain nu Government assistance, and yet
the poor are taken care of and provided
for, but in Ireland everything must be done by the
Government, and it is unreasonable to hope for any-
thing from unaided exertion. His Lordship com-
plains that the proprietors of entailed estates cannot
obtain a participation of the benefits offered by the
Drainage Act. This, we think, should be amended,
as we agree with his Lordship that it is the tenant
for life, who cannot charge the inheritance of the
lands with any portion of the amount expended
thereon in permanent and valuable improvements,
that more urgently requires the assistance that would
be thereby afforded; but it should be borne in mind
that the present Government are not responsible for
that Act, nor was it intended as the means by which
tl-ie exigencies of the country were to be provided for.
The landlord who cannot come within its provi-
sions may receive assistance, and have his lands
drained under the provisions of the Labour-rate
Act in its modified form ; he may, by giving the re-
quired undertaking, obtain a presentment at the
Extraordinary Baronial Sesslons, and thus, pro tauto,
remove the burden that would be occasioned by works
of an unprofitable nature from the electoral division
in which his property is situated. Lord DESART
should shoerthat he himself, and those as whose advocate
he appears, have also failed in the attempt to make
these latter provisions available. We can feel for the
Vficulties to be encountered by Irish landlords; but
before they look for the public sympathy they should
strive with activity and zeal to overcome them by the
means within their power, and, above all, they should
refrain from vilifying and reproaching the wise and
sagacious Ministers that have already done so much
on their behalf because they do not work impossibili-
ties, and should be thankful for the assistance that has
been afforded to them.
Mad

:rid papers of the a 1 instant have arrived.
It was believed in Madrid that one of the first pro-
jects of law which would be presented to the new
Cortes by the Ministers, would be a measure for the
reform of the commercial tariff. Queen CHRISTINA,
it is said, will leave Madrid for Paris at the close of
the present year. Don ENRIQUE is expected shortly
to return to Madrid.

1 These papers contain news from Lisbon of the 29th.
Santarem was at that time in possession of the insur-
gent; having been evacuated by the QUEEN'S troops,
who.had arrived in Lisbon. The QUEEN had issued a de-
cree, directing that if the Count DE THOMAR (CABRAL)
Should set foot in Portugal he should be immediately
arrested and confined in a fortress. A royal order
has been communicated to the commander of the
frigate Dukneza de Braganza, the guardship of the
port of Lisbon, to seize the person of the Count DE
Tgoz,tag, if he should arrive by sea. Lisbon was

completely surrounied by guerillas, so that it was
dangerous for any of the garrison to leave the
city. These guerillas loudly demanded the
abdication of the QUEEN, and the withdrawal of
King FERDINAND and his favourite German, DIETZ,
the Afraneesado, from the country. An article entitled
" The State of the Question," which has been clan-
destinely published by the Democratic party, contains
the following passage :
" Either the revolution must fail, and a new 6th of
October take place, the r. presentative Government being
replaced by a personal Government, or the Queen must
abdicate and withdraw altogether from public affairs
with her husband and maitre Dietz,' to whom the country
is already indebted for some revolutions and for the state
of anarchy in which it is at present placed. This spon-
taneous abdication would be the only natural act of the
reign of Dunna Maria."

The Count DAs ANTAS was rapidly advancing on
Lisbon, and according to the Cadiz National, King
FERDINAND seemed rather inclined to treat with him
than to fight him, and had even asked the com-
mander of the English fleet to act as a mediator be-
tween himself and his subjects.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
It appears that the Marquis of NORMANDY was not
the only Foreign Minister who refused to attend the
reception of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER on Satur-
day. It will be perceived from the following article
in the Commerce that the Belgian Minister was also
absent:—

" It is not only by diplomatic notes, but also by public
and official manifestations, that the displeasure of Eng-
land and the rupture of the entente cordiale are now ex-
hibited. This day took place, at the Tuileries, the re-
ception of the corps diplomatique, who came to con-
gratulate the King on the subject of the Duke de
Montpensier's marriage with the Infanta Donna Luisa,
the presumptive heiress to the crown of Spain. Two
significant absences were observed during the pre.
sentation—that of the Marquis of Normanby, the Eng-
lish Ambassador, and that of the Belgian Embassy.
With the exception of these two representatives, whose
absence has a clear and unequivocal meaning, the corps
diplomatique were au grand complet, minus, however,
the Prussian Minister Plenipotentiary, M. D'Arnom, the
Prussian Ambassador, M. d'Appony, and the Sardinian
Ambassador, who are not at Paris at this moment. The
Pope's Nuncio, the Spanish, Neapolitan, and Ottoman
Ambassadors, the son of M. d'Appony (who acted for
his father), the Russian Charg‘ d'Affaires M. de Kisse-
lcf ; the Ministers Plenipotentiary of Saxony, Wurtem-
burg, and Bavaria; the CharOs d'Affaires of the United
States, Tuscany, Mecklenburg, &c., &c., were pre-
sent. The absence of Lord Normanby created a very
great sensation among the diplomatic body; the absence
of the Belgian Ambassador is not of less importance
when coupled with the departure of King Leopold, who
left the palace two days ago; notwithstanding the exalted
solicitations that would have detained him, the Cobourg
blood has prevailed, on the occasion, over the family ties
which ought to make that prince side entirely with our
dynasty. This evening the Messager observed a prudent
and significant silence respecting the day's event. It
would also appear that M. Guizot still hoped to see Lord
Normanby attend this solemn reception. His journals and
reviews had assured us that England protested against
the Spanish marriages but with a view to remote even-
tualities: it is now well proved that Lord Palmerston
is much more positive in his rancour and ill-will."
The Journal des Debats contents itself with an-
nouncing the fact of the absence of the Marquis of
NORMANDY, but the Presse thus comments on it:—
" As we had stated, the diplomatic corps have been
received this day at the Palace of the Tuileries, on the
occasion of the marriage of his Royal Highness the
Duke de Montpensif:r. All the Ambassadors and Mi-
nisters Plenipotentiary now at Paris repaired in grand
uniforms to this reception, where his Excellency the
Ambassador of England shone by his absence. Such
was the sincerity of that alliance, and the cordiality of
that entente, which we have constantly exhorted our
country to distrust."

King Louis PHILIPPE, having secured the IN! ANTA
and her dowry for his son, does not seem inclined at
all to pay the enormous expenses of this marriage out
of his private purse; on the contrary, he throws the
whole of them upon the country—an artful, cunning
mode of squeezing out of France, under the name of
travelling expenses, that dotation for his son which
he knows no Chamber of Deputies would ever
grant him.

The following remarks, from the Siecle, show the
large amount of secret service money which has
passed into the hands of M. GUIZOT during the last
three months :

"By a royal ordinance, dated July 10, M. Guizot
was allowed 280,000 f. fur extraordinary couriers and tra-
!ravelling expenses, and for extraordinary missions.
250,0001. and 590,000 f.—altogether 1,120,000 f. This
was tolerably well, it we consider that 750,000 f. had
already been voted by the Chamber of Deputies for a
similar service, and it might have been expected that M.
GuiZet would have been satisfied. But, no ; by a royal
ordinance dated the 10th of October, he was granted
200,000 f, and by another royal ordinance, dated the
25th of October, 300,000 f. • ti,,, ,7th
tor unexpected expenses, 320,000 f. Thus
within four months M. Guizot has been allowed
1,900,000'., independent of 650,000 E, 150,000 E, and
600,001. granted by the budget. That a grand line of
politics requires a great expenditure was one of the
maxims and the constant practice of Cardinal Richelieu.
\I. Guizot may certainly be compared to him in the point
of view of expense.
The Duke DE MONTPENSIER is not the only Bourbon
Prince who marries a Princes; with an immense
dowry. The Duke DE BORDEAUX is on the point of
marriage with a Princess of Modena, whose fortune
is four millions sterling. The Constitutionnel says—
" The news of the Duke de Bordeaux's marriage with
a sister of the Duke of Modena, is obtaining confirma-
tion. The settlements, it is said, were signed by proxy
at Modena on the 30th Octobc•r, and the marriage pub-
lished at Vienna on the 31st, by command of the Empe-
ror, whose first cousin the Princess is. It is added that
the marriage was to have been solemnized this very day.
The future Duchess de Bordeaux is thirty years of age;
her fortune is reckoned at 100,000,000 francs. The
Duke de Bordeaux is twenty-six years of age."

The mercantile community have long felt that steam
navigation must change, to an important extent, the
system of modern warfare, and that the defences on
our coast, to which more attention is recently being
paid, should be accompanied by efficient measures, fa-
some slight training of the inhabitants, unused as the
majority now are to even the handling of a gun. A
retired officer, in soma " Remarks on our Means of
Defence against an Invasion," justly writes, that " the
unprotected state of the country has, no doubt, obtruded
itself upon the notice of the reflecting part of the in-
habitants ; but as many do not take the trouble to re-
flect, and as the thinking faculties of a considerable
number are devoted almost exclusively to commerce
and manufactures, he cannot be deemed an alarmist
who calls the attention of the public to a subject of more
importance than any that has in latter days engrossed
its meditative powers. It is, in the first place, neces-
sary to inform the unthinking, that the popular phrase,
the wooden walls of England," is now become obso-
l-te ; however just and expressive it may have been in
former days, when the winds and tides, combined with
the superior seamanship of our mariners, kept us
n a state of security. Now that the passage
.r.'m shore to shore is an affair of a few
hours—that steamers can lie off any part of our coast
by the f;wee of their engines,
and troops can be landed

the expression has no meaning. Our sailors will. i

of a rencontre between ho2tile fleets.

tified with the national glory and interest than in the
Later. It behoves us, therefore, the more to prepare all
the means in our power for resistance. The principal
object of these remarks is to urge the employment of the
militia as a nursery for the line, and the neees,ity of
arming and training the people ; or if the latter
shonld be considered inexpedient, as a general measure,
to give at least greater facilities to the formation, both in
town and country, of corps of yeomanry and volunteer
cavalry, to be trained so as to act, when dismounted, a 3
skirmishers. So long as our army is, numerically speak-
ing, wholly inadequate to meet such an emergency as I
have contemplated, some of the measures I sug-
gested are urgently and immediately necessary to the
safety of the country."
The Spanish Bondholders Committee, represented at
Paris by the deputation which co-operates with the
continental creditors, does not appear to let
the grass grow under its feet, for' an energetic
statement has been made public, which, while
it sets forth in plain terms the increased ability of Spain
to do justice to those who assisted her in time of need,
also plainly intimates that every effort will be used to
press the matter officially upon the attention of the Go-
vernment of Madrid, should quiet representation fail of
the effect intended.
