liament." That is surely a sensible and unanswer-
able position of the matter. The Ministry maintain
that a repeal of the union is an impossibility, and the
Irish people implore that if they are not to legislate
for themselves, then that the British Cabinet should at
least govern them with a paternal solicitude. Sir
ROBERT PEEL acknowledged the rationality of this
derriand in his noble address on retiring from
office. He then asserted that Ireland should
possess complete equality in municipal and political
institutions. Mr. O'CONNELL, has, however, classi-
fied the grievances which he conceives ought to be
removed, and in so doing simplifies the question of
what are the literal demands of Ireland. The fol-
lowing, says he, are the matters of which the Irish
multitude complain :
" First—A scandalously defective 'representation_
" Second7A grievously limited and defective franchise.

"Third—Miserably defective corporate reform.
"Fourth—The monstrously oppressive Church Establish-
ment for the use of the few.

"We require the redress of these grievances, and in ad-
dition—

"FifLhly—A literary and religious education for each per-
suasion, from the power of any other. Justice to all, ascend-
ancy to none.

"Sixthly—An absentee tax sufficient to secure the
residence, or to compensate for the absence of the lanled
proprietor.

- "Seventhlv—The establishment of the tenant right.
" Eightly-:-Compensation for valuable improvements made
by the occupying tenant.
" Ninthly—Abolition of ejectment for non-payment of rent,
unless under a lease of 31 years at the least.
" Tenthly—Abo ition of the power of distraint, unless there
be a lease of 21 years at least.
" Eleventhly—Total abolition of the power of distraining
growing crops.
" Twelfthly—The institution of county boards instead of
the present inadequate and blundering county grand jury
system."

Such, according to "the Liberator," are the perform-
ances which will be expected from Lord J. RUSSELL'S
Administration. We shall hope for a fulfilment of
O'CONNELL'S dearest aspirations for the welfare of Ire-
land, and we shall base our hopes upon the co-opera-
tion almost promised by Sir ROBERT PEEL to his suc-
cessor.

The Weser and Cologne Gazelle states that the
projected constitution for Prussia is at last framed,
and would shortly be published. States-General
are to be established, and the provincial States are
about to obtain some new prerogatives. The
States-General are to meet every three years.
They will have a right to vote the budget of ex-
penditures and receipts, and to control all finan-
cial matters. Their action will in nowise interfere
with that of the provincial states, which will con-
tinue to assemble ai usual. They are not, however,
to possess the legislative power, properly
,speaking.
The eight provincial assemblies are to retain the right
of examining every legislative proposition respecting
persons and property. Those assemblies will. also
alone enjoy the right of petition.

The following intelligence from Kurdistan appears,
under the date of June 2, in the All,gsburgh Ga-
zette :

" According to a letter from Erzeroum, the state of affairs
has not champ(' in the Kurdistan. Mahmoud Khan still
retains the Pacha of Van shut up, and the former dares not
leave his fortress, although he has received artillery from
Erzeroum. The powerful chief of the Kurdes now receives
the tribute from all the localities, both Armenian and
Turkish, on the Lake of Van, and which formerly entered
the scoffers of the Pacha. The Pacha of Mossul is also
held in check by Beder Khan, but the latter is too old
to be actuated by any feelings of ambition. The
Pacha of Mossul endeavours to cultivate the favour
of the Prince of the Kureles. and only a short time since
sent him-a magnificent Nischan in diamonds. It is thought
at Erzeroum, that after the death of Beder Khan there will
be a great movement in Asiatic Turkey, and that the war-
like tribes of Buhdan will invade Mesopotamia. Thl diplo-
matic negotiations concerning the differences between
Turkey and Persia are at an end, but it does not appear that
the affair is wholly settled. Neither power will yield. The
European diplomatists have remained neutral, except Sir
Stratford Canning, who has ordered the British Ambassador
at Teheran to use a menacing tone in the event of the
Grand Vizier not giving way. This advice, however, does
not appear to have been followed, Mr. Shiel contenting him-
self to oppose the Russian influence."

Madrid papers of the 24th have arrived. The
emeute which had been apprehended on that day had
not taken place, and the procession of St. John's
Passed off peaceably. The Marquis of PENAFLORIDA
has resigned his office of Alcalde of Madrid. The
Gazette publishes the ratifications of the treaty be-
tween Spain and Venezuela, which were exchanged
on the 22d.
The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 24th.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
They all speculate on the probable results of the
change of Ministry in England, but we find nothing
in their observations worth extracting.
The France publishes the following on the subject
of the marriage of the QUEEN of Spain :
" When in February last the Marquis de Miraflores came
into power, he learnt that the Court of Naples was on the
point of instructing its Ambassador at Madrid, Prince de Ca-
rini, to demand officially the hand of Queen Isabella for the
Count de Trapani. The Marquis de Miraflores sent for the
Prince de Carini, and declared to him that if he made such
an official demand in the then state of affairs, the Spanish
Cabinet would find itself under the necessity of giving a for-
mal refusal. M. Bresson, Minister of Louis Philippe, had
held all the threads of this intrigue. and great was his dis•
appointment when he knew how the project, so long ma-
tured according to the orders received from Paris, had com-
pletely failed. The Neapolitan Ambassador therefore found
himself forced to abstain from all demand in marriage, and
referred the matter to his Court, which was itself the victim
of its too great confidence in the astute politicians who
had prepared this combination, and who found them-
selves at last caught in their own snare. From the day that
the Marquis de Miraflores had energetically rejected M.
Bresson's candidate, all kinds of intrigue were put in move-
ment to bring about hip overthrow. On his side, M. de Mi-
raflores proposed to the English Cabinet to accord to the
English Minister at Madrid the title of ambassador, in order
that he might have his free entrées to the Queen's presence,
a circumstance which had hitherto given great facilities
to the proceedings of M. Bresson in favour of the Trapani
marriage."

Letters have teen received in Paris from Rome,
which state that there is reason to hope that the new
POPE will grant a Constitution to his subjects.
The Duke of SOTOMAYOR and Lord COWLEY ar-
rived in Paris on Sunday from London.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was well sup-
pprted generally. Sales, 6,000 bales. Shares were dull.
At Messrs. Lamond's sale of Railway Shares and scrip
there was rather an improved demand.
There have been several most excellent letters in our Con-
temporary, the Morning Advertiser, signed " Alfred," urging
a subscription of a penny each from "the millions" of this
country, to raise a statue to the honour of Sir Robert Peel
for his Corn and Tariff Bills, and for his devotion to the cause
he has taken up, of giving freedom to trade and commerce,
so far as is at present consistent with reference to the revenue,
and the due fulfilment of the national obligations, and the
efficient maintenance of the various departments of the
public service. There is but one opinion in the City now
that such a testimonial ought to be vigorously supported.
Our respected Contemporary is right in urging this subject
forward ; and we only trust that the object in view will be
most fully carried out.
The following interesting statistics relative to the London
dried fruit trade are by an experienced broker in the trade:—
"The consumption of currants sensibly increases. The
clearances here from the 234 of May to the 23d of June, have
been 715 tons against 640 tons in 1845, and at Liverpool.
during the four weoks ending June IC, 403 tons against 350
tons in 1845. From the official accounts of the Board of
Trade, those of the United Kingdom during the first four
months of this year were 4,341 tons, against 3,614 tons, and
3.590 tons during the same period of 1845 and 1844.

to equalise our imports with those of the whole oflast season."
The Ministerial movements appear now to excite very
little interest in the City, as it is considered all but certain
that, as far as the present session of Parliament is concerned,
(the Sugar Duties excepted) scarcely anything but routine
business will be transacted. _ .

The accounts from—the Cape of Good Hope received this
morning have occasioned considerable anxiety as to the re-
sult of the warfare between the British and Colonial forces,
and the insurrectionary native chiefs. The private accounts
d 9 not contain so many details, as are made public by the
second editions of our morning contemporaries.
It is expected in the Corn Market, that all the foreign
grain now under lock will be released at the latest to-morrow.
The Consol Market has been rather flat to-day—the price
for the Account having opened at 951/2 %—but just now
town sales have been made at 95%. In the mew Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. the reaction has been from 97 to

day. The Equador Bonds have realised 3%. Mexicans
have declined from 27% to 27%; the Portuguese Five per

and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 593/q to 60.
The London and Birmingham Railway, the North Stafford,
and the York and East Riding Extension shares have rather
improved this morning. Nearly all the other shares and
scrips are flat. But little business has been done.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS'

SCHOOL, KENNINGTON-LANE, LAMBETH..
The Fortieth Anniversary Dinner of the friends and
pstrons of this institution was held yesterday, at the
White Conduit Tavern, Pentonville. The Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor presided.
The cloth having been removed, the " Non Nobis "
Wai sung.

The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR proposed the first
toast, which was one which he said he needed but to
state to ensure the mest cordial reception ; it was the
health of her Majesty Queen Victoria, the patroness of
the institution. The toast was drunk with the usual
honours. •

• The next toasts were " The Queen Dowager," " Prince
Albert, the patron of the institution," " The Prince of
Wales, the vice patron of the institution," "The Princess
Royal, and the other branches of the Royal Family,"
" The Army and Navy."
The children of the school, boarded, clothed, and
lodged by this institution, were then introduced to the
company.
The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR then proposed the
next toast. He said—Ladies aid Gentlemen—l am
satisfied that you are all acquainted with the objects for
which we have met together this day, and seeing the
interesting sight which we have before us in the youths
of those whom you have thought fit to introduce into
this Establishment, I am convinced that you have met
upon this occasion to promote the object of this school,
which I must say is one of the greatest importance in
this large metropolis. It is a school managed, I must
-ay, with the smallest amount of funds of anv of such
noble institutions in the country. And when I say so,
I do not say so without having made the most minute
and particular inquiries into the circumstances of this
*eh° )I, and the mode upon which it is conducted, but I
do say so from information which I have myself received.
Before I came to the chair to-day I found this to be the
case, and I find that every year it is going on with
still greater economy of management, and with greater
benefit to those whom you have sent to this institution.
—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I congratulate this noble as-
semblage brought here to day on the objects and designs
of this Institution, which is to have these children
brought up in the way they are, and put out to an honest
and industrious means-of obtaining their livelihood. It
is also worthy of this assembly to know what are the
means by which this Institution is supported. When I
come to look over the large amount raised by the in-
fluential persons connected with this Society, I think it
Would be perfectly astonishing to a foreigner, were he
to be told of the amount. I think he could not believe
such enormous sums could be collected together. When
I read at page 120 of your report, I find that the
amount, enormous as it is, is stated to be " for weekly al.
lowances," 132,2461. 19s. Bd.—(Loud cheers.) Gentle-
!lien, what would that noble-minded foreigner, in whose
company I was yesterday, say to this sum. if
he were here at the present time ?—(Hear,
hear.) He is one of those inquiring minas, who
would not rest till he had made himself acquainted with
the foundation of the institution. His object in making
these inquiries is for the good of his country and his
people.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I look at this
report, I find the subscriptions to amount to the enortn-
, ells sum of 130,6401. 7s. sd. When you see the good
works you have already accomplishel by the esta-
blishment of these schools, you will not, I am sure,
efuse your assistance to support them. There is
only one thing whioh I can comment upon
with anything like feelings of lamentation, that is, that
your schools are capable of affording accommodation to
WO children more than you now have, but that the funds
will not admit of t.iat increase. You are met here
to -night for the purpose of hearing these statements,
end you will, I am sure, be ready to do your utmost to
make up this deficiency. There is one further sum, and
rather an important item in the account, which comes
under the designation of " Charity-box subscriptions."
Ibis amount is derived from persons whose names are
not known—who do not participate in the benefits de-
rived from these schools. I see the sum of 4,3071. 4s. 6d.
placed to this account. When I consider that that sum
made up from small contributions from persons who
ire not inclined to make their names known, I must say
that those are persons whom I most admire.—(Cheers.)
I will now speak of the total amount of the funds
raised last year, which I find to ba 250,596/. 1 ls. Id.
When will you find an institution of this kind supported
with the same degree of liberality—a schtail supported
by those whom I know take a deep interest in the school
designated the Licensed Victuallers' School ?—(Loud
cheers.) An institution supported by an excellent and
.gracious Queen. She gives us encouragement to sup
part it, and when she finds that you will put your
hands into your pockets to support it, she will, I am
sure, be ready to assist you when called upon to do so.
Gentlemen, I am satisfied you will hear from the children
if these schools to-day that which will delight your ear,
Ind which I am sure you will wish to hear ; and while
you may be gratifiel with the scene you have witnessed
to-day, I can assure you that no person will be more
;ratified than myself.—(Cheers.) It is true that I was
:ailed upon at a lats period ; but when I found that
your excellent friend Sir Felix Booth, who takes so

this S I
at once
ncteicrity w
responded
ndeads
io the call of your Committee to take the chair, however
feebly it may have been sustained.--(Loud cheers.)
Gentlemen, I have witnessed many scenes during m.,
.mar of office, but I have not yet witnessed any scene
-.vhich has gratified me like this, or one that has g.ven
ne greater siatisraction. I redalect contrhuting to the
iociety at a former period, and I shall be happy to lend
iou my aid at any time you may think fit to call upon
:ne for that purpose. Gentlemen, lam satisfied that the
oast which is now put into my hand, will be received ty
volt with the greatest enthusiasm. It is " Prosperity to
he Licensed Victualltrs' School, and rosy it prosper and
sourish for ever."

The toast having been most cordially responded to,
to address was delivered by one of toe bop or the
ichnol,.a hymn was also sung by the children bebnvig
the institution.

D. W. WIRE, Esq., then rose to T ropose a toast, with
,hich he was entrusted by the Committee. It was the
.lealth of the Right llon. the Lord Nll.yor. who, at a
-hurt notice, had condescended to take the chair at this
nagnificafit meeting. "How," said th:, Hon. Gentleman,

-11 e hai acquitted himself you all can bear testimony, for
:t has been in a manna-r which few could have done with
:urge study and much preparation.—(Cheer,) But I
inow his Lordship 'well; and when the heart is right
:he mouth will speak; and I kn,tw that, during his year
of office, the whole of his time has been taken up in
promoting works of charity, and he could not, there-
`bre, refuse the request of your committee to be present
At this meeting. I am sure, that if there is any point
a which his Lordship will be distinguished above his
,medecessors, it will be that there has not been a single
charity which he has not either supported himself or
cheered by his presence.—(Cheers.) It is his great
honour, not that he holds the highest munici-
pal situation in this country, but that his hand
oas ever been open, and his heart has been
enlarged in advocating, the cause of universal
charity.—(Cheers.) And I am sure that when he comes
to part from his office, and lay down the pomp, and
itate, and ceremony by which he is surrounded, it will
ne with the grateful recollections, which will serve to
:hoer him in after life, that he held his office, not
;or the purpose of self aggrandisement, but for
the purpose of alleviating the miseries, of ad-
vocating the rights, of protecting the lierbties, and
advancing the cause of charity, and doing good to man-
kind. I shall conclude with proposing the health of the
Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor, and thanking him at the
'ame time for his kindness in attending this
meeting, and for the ability which he has:displayed,
and for his munificence to this charity, of which you
will hear hereafter. I hope also that the ladies present
will join in that toast, and show, by their approval,
that such conduct is deserving of their smiles."
The health was then disposed of with the customary
honours.

The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the very hand-
iomo manner in which they bad drank his health, and
took occasion to state that the secretary had informed
him that there were upwards of 2,000 persons present,
and that considerably more than 2,0001. had been re-
ceived towards the funds of the institution that day.
Lie was sorry that he was compelled to leave them at so
early a period ; he had, however, an engagement of long
standing, which it was necessary for him to - attend to.
In leaving, he would give them his most sincere thanks
for the manner in which they had drank his health, and
wished them many happy returns of thsir festive scene.
The chair was then taken by Mr. Williams, the Go-
vernor of the institution.

The SECRETARY read the report. Among the sub-
subscribers we noticed those of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, 10/. 10s.• the Right lion. the Lord
Mayor, 21/.; Sir Felix Booth's 24th annual subscription,
21/ ; also a donation of oae shilling each to each of the
children of the school, amounting to 5/. 11s., per the
same gentleman.
The health of " the Governor of the Institution,"
" Prosperity to the Morning Advertiser and the Press,"
" The Ladies," and several ocher toasts, were proposed
and drunk, and the company separated.

_
The musical ov
ertainmentswere under the direction
of Mr, Moody; the duties of toastmaster were performed
by Mr. Toole, jun.; and the dinner was served up so ; s
to reflect credit on the arrangements of Mr. Rouse, the
proprietor of the White Conduit Tavern.

" Upon the grounds belonging to the tavern several
large banners were floating, on which were inscribed
" Prosperity to the Licensed Victuallers' School," and
other appropriate mottoes.

THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPoLE. BY THE
REY. R. COBBOLD.—A fourth edition of this remarkable
work has just appeared, complete in one volume. The story
of Margaret Catchpole is one of so extraordinary and ro
mantic
a character, that the reader will almost consider it as
animprobability instead of a reality. But truth is stranger
than fiction, and of this fact the career of Margaret Catch-
pole affords one of the most striking, and, in its close, one of
the most pleasing, as well as interesting and instructive,
examples. The volume before us narrates the whole of her
adventures with emphatic simplicity and graphic truth.
Throughout may be traced an inherent love of truth and
singleness of purpose—together with a natural abhorrence of
every mean or sordid vice—which form the real link of iym-
i
iathy, and render Margaret's fortunes interesting to all
classes of readers. Mr. Cobbold has done his romantic sub-
ject ample justice, and produced one of the most truly inte-
resting biographies in the language. The work is deserving
of a wide circulation, and will assuredly take a permanent
place in the libraries of the people.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
FATAL OCCURRENCE NEAR ERlTlL—Tuesday fore-
noon the following loss of life took place:—lt appeared that
a lighterman, named Newman,. had charge of a heavjjy,
laden barge of chalk, and was proceeding up the river for
the purpose of discharging his cargo At one of the City lime
wharfs. Having met a young man on shore, the latter asked
Newman to give him a cast up to London, but they had not
proceeded far up the river when the vessel instantly filled
with water, and, having no boat, they were tpth ot.ligsl to
trust to swimming ashore, which val,s sumo distance. The
barge, of course= and 14tewman and his companion
made; for land, which the former was enabled to rely but
the latter WU lost.

.DELPHI THEATRE.
A new 11-ml O-dramatic romance, entitled The Devil of Mar-
seilles, or The Spirit of Avarice, from the practised pen of Mr.
Peake, was produced here last evening. It would appear,
from the legend on which the drama is founded, that the
Spirit of Avarice has taken up his abode in Marseilles, and
that once in a century he appears as the Devil of Marseilles,
and of course plays the devil with every one with whom he
comes in contact. The concluding year of the century has
expired at the time at which the drama com-
mences, and the Spirit of Avarice is by a cer-
tain M. Brissac (Mr. Cullenford) unconsciously set
loose. Brissac is the guardian of Clementine (Madame
Celeste) a rich Brazilian heiress, with whom he is about to
take his departure for Rio Janeiro. She is in love with De
Launay, the surgeon to the Bagne, at Marseilles, whose suit
is rejected by Brissac, because he is poor. There is in the
Bagne a
.foreat, Pierre Cranon (Mr. O'Smith), who has sixty
times endeavoured to make his escape. He pretends to be
dead, but De Launay finds out the imposition; how-
ever, he tries to bribe De Launay to connive at
his escape, and tells him where an immense
treasure is hidden. Overcome by the Spirit of Avarice (most
'grotesquely represented by Mr. Mitchinson), De Launay,
having acquired a knowledge of his secre', calls the guard to
arrest Pierre, who escapes by the window, and then pro-
ceeds to the spot pointed out by the foreat, disinters the trea-
sure, and becomes rich. Cranon, who has escaped, arrives
just after, and finds the treasure gone. The Spirit of
Avarice, however, supplies him with a disguise, and he
works his passage out to Brazil on board the same
ship with Clementine, Brissac, and Jean de l'Oye and his
wife, the two comic characters of the piece, whose sayings
and doings, although they defy description, may be imagined
when we say. that Wright was the husband, and MisiWoolgar
the wife. Arrived in Brazil, the Spirit of Avarice soon
works upon all of them. Brissac endeavours to cheat Clemen-
tine out of her property. Cranon' induces certain slaves
to decamp with him into the woods, and to
rob the house of Brissac, while the comic
part of the plot is strengthened by the advent of Paul Bed-
ford, who; as Captain Beausobre, the harbour-master, falls
desperately in love with Madame de l'Oye, and roars out
serenades in a tone that would drown a speaking trumpet.
In the third act two arrivals take place. De Launav (Mr.
C. Boyce), the heretofore poor surgeon, as a rich Signior,
demands the hand of the now poor Clementine • and Aveira,
(Mr. C. Perkins), her father, who has for years been supposed
to be dead, also arrives, having been released from a'longim
prisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition at Lisbon.
He recognises a bracelet on the arm of his daughter as a
jewel of which he had been robbed molly years before. That
bracelet was a present from De Launav, who is immediately
suspected as the robber. It is a bracelet which he had fnuid
in the casket. He returns the whole of the stolen property
to Aveira, who thus recovers his fortune. In the meantime
Cranon and his associates, Scipio, a negro (Mr. Munyard), and
Maquas, an Indian (Mr. C. J. Smith), have broken into
the Quinta of l3rissac, and carried off a casket of jewels.
As they are escaping they inert Clementine, bedecked with
jewels. Cranon recognises the bracelet, and, to avoid dis-
covery, they take Clementine, who has fainted, to their re-
treat, sending Maquas on before with the casket. Maquas,
to secure the whole of the plunder, poisons the wine which
he knows his coin panionst will drink, and they, to cheat him
of his share of the plunder, assassinate him. In
the meantime Brissac and De Launay, who have put
blood-hounds on the trail, arrive as Cranon is breathing his
last. The Spirit of Avarice sets tire to the forest; and
the innocent escape, and De Launay and Clementine are
unit. d. The piece is full of incident and startling effects.
The scenery is beautiful, and the actors, comic, tragic, and
choerographic—(Mitchinson proved himself no unworthy
rival of Wieland)—exerted themselves to the utmost.
The Devil of Marseilles, taken per se, is• the funniest of devils.
He has collected around him a most interesting, and a most
amusing groupe, and there can be no. donfwbut that the
Spirit of Avarice—(it is th,, first time that ever Webster pa-
tronised such a spirit)—will prove a most profitable spirit to
the Adelphi.
