MEMOIRS OF A FEMME DE CHAMBRE.—BY THE
COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON.—We are requested to state that this new
work will be published by Mr. Bentley on Wednesday next, the 6th
inst., when it may be obtained of :all booksellers, and at all the
libraries throughout the kingdom, in 3 vols., post Bvo.
FIRES.—Two fires, attended with considerable loss,
occurred on Saturday. The first outbreak happened shortly after
three o'clock, on the premises tenanted by Mr. Walter, chandler and
general shopkeeper, situate No. 14, King-street, Old Gravel-lane,
Ratcliffe-highway, and for half an hour it burnt with great they.
The flames destroyed the interior of the lower part of the house, and
ascending the staircase, have done serious mischief to the property in
the various apartments. The cause of the fire is unknown. The
other happened in about two hours after, in the immense manufac-
tory of Mwsrs. John Heale and Soils, upholsterers and feather-bed
makers, No. 196, Tottenham-court-road. It was discovered soon
after five o'clock. In the course of three-quarters of an hour the
weread confining fibnuitni their
fire brigade succeeded in mastering the flame,,
ravages to the south range of workshops,

down. The amount of property exceedsdestroyedwhehi
pounds, but the proprietors are insured in the ch

THE MAGAZINES.
BLACKWOOD.
Ireland is not Si ;Robert Peel's difficulty only ; he
has no claim to it more than others, for every statesman,
legislator, philosopher, and traveller in that country,
editors of newspapers, writers of pamphlets, constitution-
mongers, the Society of Friends as well as the Society
for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, have all their
difficulty in devising any scheme for abating the poverty,
the wretchedness, and the lawlessness of its large and
increasing population. For the last three hundred or
four hundred years the English Government and Legis-
lature have been trying, sometimes, and too often we
fear, by severity, to abate the evil—sometimes by more
gentle and soothing means—but all have proved failures;
and the inhabitants of vast portions of the country are
at the present day perhaps more miserable than they
were even in the days of the Mores and O'Neales.
'Their native Parliaments could do nothing,
the countless societies, with almost every pos-
sible title, that have sprung up under the leadership
of Mr. O'Connell, have been equally impotent, and Ire-
land still remains a thorn in the side of England, and is
regarded by foreigners as a reproach to the Imperial
Government and Parliament. The Minister at the head
of affairs has some scheme, or rather schemes, for getting
over the difficulty, but what they are or what may be
their effect, we are alike unable to tell. Blackwood in the
present number has put in his plan; and, as might be an-
ticipated, it is not of the most conciliatory character. The
Coercion Bill he considers of no use, and is inclined to
doubt the sincerity of the Government in wishing to pass
the measure, imperfect as it is, for there " seems to exist
an extraordinary and ominous good feeling between the
opposing parties." He would go about the work in a
different manner—give Conciliation Hall its right name
and treat it accordingly. " There is a remedy for the
ills of Ireland, and a simple and efficacious remedy
it bill be found to be, if adopted. Enforce
obedience to the laws and establish security of
life and property, no matter at what sacrifice, or by what
means. The more severe and uncompromisingl the
measure by which these objects shall bo sought to be
effected, the more prompt will be the success, and the
more merciful the operation." We regret that he has
not pointed out what the operation is, or how it is to be
established. These are all mere generalities. In the
following sentence he is more precise :—"The associa-
tion," says he, " must be suppressed. It will be folly to
expect peace or tranquillity while that pestilent body is
in existence ; smite it ' hip and thigh,' and you at once
cut off the fruitful sources of discontent and crime. Stop
the rent, and at one blow you annihilate the profligate
press, which turns the minds of the people from their
legitimate avocations, which panders to their prejudices,
and excites them to outrage. Of what use will it be to
confine the peasant to his house by night, if you allow
him to be beset during the day by the noxious publica-
tions which contain the treason of the Conciliation Hall?"
But even he despairs of the remedy, and begins, like
others, to have a difficulty about Ireland, because the
peop?e delight only in idleness, filth, and disorder. This
is the only substitute for a political article this month,
and on the whole it is more mild towards the Premier
than might have been expected. But the fact is, the
ultra-Tories begin to see their helplessness, the poverty
in their household, and the absolute want of men be-
longing to the party who could for even a few months
hold office. They cannot do without the " renegade,"
and to him at last they must again cling. The last
article gives a very long description of the campaign on
the Sutleli written in a glowing and impartial spirit,
paying the highest compliments to the Governor-
General, to Sir Hugh Gough, and the brave troops under
their command. " The Student of Salamanca" is brought
to a close, but we find another that bids fair to supply its
place, though of a very different character. It is entitled
" The Americans and the Aborigines," and one of its
objects is to illustrate the unjust and cruel treatment
received by the more northerly races of Indians at the
hands of the Americans.
