weeks ago in the county of Armagh would never
take place.
" In this part of Ireland the Catholics would form
a large majority of the Volunteer force, and I feel
convinced that they would take their places side by
side with their Protestant neighbours without giv-
ing cause for jealousy or disunion ; and that, what-
ever may be their feelings respectively towards
England or France, they would both stand toge-
ther for the defence of Ireland--their common home.
" Now with respect to the best mode of evoking
the national feeling on the subject of volunteering,
it seems to me to be very desirable that, as the
force is to be altogether of a local character, its
organisation should be also of a local nature.
Jealousies might arise if it were supposed that the
whole of this national armament were to be placed
under the control of a central clique in Dublin. I
would, therefore, recommend that in each county
the most influential residents should get up a re-
quisition to the High Sheriff by which he should
be invited to call a county meeting for the purpose
of taking measures preliminary to the formation of
a Volunteer force.
" I take for granted that the British Govern-
ment would not venture to resist the united wish
of all classes of the population of Ireland; but
if it should have the audacity to proscribe as a
crime in Ireland that which is encouraged as a
virtue in England and Scotland; the Irish nation
have the remedy in their own hands. The exist-
ing law does not prevent individuals, except in
proclaimed districts, from learning the use of arms.
The law prohibits regimental training, but it does
not impose a penalty upon the practice by indi-
viduals of the act of rifle shooting, and I conceive
that any number of persons may meet to try their
ilLaparksmen. Let the leading gentlemen of
re an ;PIM:At distinction of party, offer prizes
for markmanship in rifle shooting, and, in case of
need, the organisation of such marksmen into mili-
tary companies would be effected without difficulty
in a few weeks, perhaps in a few days.
" If any effort should be made by the Legisla-
ture to put a stop to such training, I venture to
hope that Irishmen of all persuasions would resent
such an attempt, and would show that, as it is im-
possible to imprison a whole nation, so it is dange-
rous to contravene the wishes of an united people.
"I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN.

o the Volunteer Association."

MR. _ROEBUCK IN THE TV :ST.

The Dublin Opera of yesterday morning are
filled with the speeches delivered in Galway on
Monday night, at the banquet given to Mr. John
Orell Lever and Mr. John Arthur Roebuck. The
latter hon. gentleman—to the disappointment of
his audience—cut short his oratory, his address
scarcely occupying half a column out of the six
devoted to the festive proceedings. After a few
preliminary remarks Mr. Roebuck proceeded to
say,—
" I began my political life as the friend of your
great friend, Mr. O'Connell. (Cheers.) It was
my fate to enter Parliament a very young man, an
enthusiastic Englishman, and I found myself side
by side with the great friend of the people of Tre•
land. (Cheers.) I was a radical then ; lam still
so, and I found O'Connell was the friend of the
Radicals, and therefore we sat side by side. But
there was i O'Connell which we seldom find in
any member of Parliament ; and I must say not in
any Irish member of Parliament. He was enabled
to command the attention of the British House of
Commons. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He had that
weight of eloquence that commands respect—that
brilliant imagination that won everybody's appro-
val, and when he opened his lips the listening se-
nate heard his words with admiration, if not appro-
bation. (Cheers.) I, as an enthusiastic young
Englishman, a Radical, was at once attracted to
O'Connell, and I asked myself what he desired to
have for Ireland. It was this—that Englishmen
and Irishmen should before the law be entirely
equal—(cheers)—that there should be no preference
to a man on account of his country or his creed—
(cheers)—that a man being a subject of King Wil-
liam who then reigned—he should not be asked
whether he was an Englishman, an Irishman, or a
Scotchman, but that justice should be done to him
as a subject of Great Britain. (Hear, hear, and
cheers.) The first matter on which I voted, the first
matter that occupied the attention of the so-called
Reformed Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland,
was the Irish Coercion Bill, and on that matter I
voted side by side an humble militant with O'Connell.
I voted on every occasion against that bill and English
statesmen have learnt that we on that question hav-
ing a small minority were in the right. We have
learnt that to treat men honestly is to treat them pru-
dently, and that the statesman who wishes to govern
Ireland will not only be thoroughly honest towards
the Irish people, and whether he acts through the
English House of Commons or an Irish Parliament
he will win their respect and regard. (Hear, and
cheers.) It has not been my fate usually to address
an Irish audience. Once or twice in my life I have
done so, and I have begun by stating that I am a
thorough-going John Bull. (Laughter and cheers.)
I don't wish to impose upon you in any way; I am
an Englishman, and I believe that Rngland, united
with Ireland, will be to the world as a shining light
and a great guide ; that if with her right arm, Ire-
land, she be strong, with her right arm, Ireland,
separated from her she will be weak ; and. my ob-
ject has been through life not only to foster, but to
render complete the union of the two peoples.
(Cheers.) I wish you all to believe that the people
of England deserve well of, because they wish well
to, the people of Ireland. (Hear.) No man more
than myself is ready to admit that the Government
of England for centuries has done injustice to Ire-
land—(hear, and cheers)—but England now go-
verns herself, and I believe from my heart what I
am now about to tell you,—that if there be any thing
disagreeable in Ireland, you have only to state it in
the English House of Commons to be attended to.
Send there men who can really interpret your
wishes, and you can command the attention of a
fair and liberal assembly, and you will get all you
deserve or desire. You don't want more than
that, I hope. (Cries of No.') One of your fathers
here has been kind enough to express his opinion
respecting myself, for which I beg to express my
most hearty thanks, and in return he will permit
me to take the very presumptuous part of giving him
a small word of advice. It is this. He and his clergy
have great power over the people of Ireland—deser-
vedly so—and it would be best for him to employ
that power for the union of the two countries, to
make Irishmen men of the United Kingdom. Now,
don't misunderstand me, I don't want you to be
men of the United Kingdom if perfect justice is
not done you. (Hear, hear, and cheers). But I
must say to him and his brethren, and to him I
speak as representing his brethren on this occasion,
that there can be no hope for good to England or
to Ireland but through entire justice to both coun-
tries. (Cheers.) And if we hope for justice send
us your representatives who can tell what you de-
sire—send such men as we can listen to, who can
command respect and attention, and every word
they utter in your name will find a response in the
English House of Commons. (Cheers.) Gentle-
men, I am but an humble member of that house,
but I am a thorough Englishman ; and I believe,
from my knowledge of that house—and it has been
acquired, I am sorry to say, by nearly 30 years' ex-
perience—that I can tell you that the people of
Ireland have no greater friends than the English
House of Commons ; that anybody who tells you
that England is opposed to Ireland tells you what
is false, and that if there should step upon the
shores of Ireland some foreign despot with his
legions at his back for the purpose of maintaining
his dominion, you could gain no good by subjecting
yourselves to his domination. You can send to the
English Parliament your representatives—to the
English House of Lords your representatives, and
these, speaking in your name, will always command
attention from the English Parliament. I have
little more to say here—a passing traveller in the
house of my respected friend' Father Daly—
(cheers)—and I would rather call his character into
court in my behalf, than say anything on this occa-
sion of one who is only known to you as a wander-
ing Englishman—(cries of No, no r)—but one who
believes in his country—who believes that our
hopes, our wishes, our desires are that we should
be a united people, and that united England and
Ireland may face and. conquer the world. (Loud
cheering.)"

Least sublunary world, resemble mean e 1
.•
mortals. They have different measures of pereep- \a:4
'
tion and capacity, and are not all gifted with Saga- N
S
city, understanding, observation, or good sense-
Some amongst them are quick to discern and wise
to observe; they profit by experience and reflection; s
they are taught by the discipline of adversity ; they
are schooled by events, and guide and govern them- •
selves with wisdom, shaping their courses by the -s
possibleand the practicable=-by the bent, genins,,, , .
and tendency of the times in which their 'ahem 13
below is cast. Others of
.them, again, are imprac- JET)
ticable and unteachable—we had almost said incer- •
rigible—and never advance to perfection. For
them ancient, mediaeval, and modern histories have
no significant warnings, and have been written
wholly in vain. For them the events of 1789,
1793, 1829, 1830, and 1848 have been acted and
happened in vain. Were Plato and Socrates, were •
Sully and De Witt, were Bacon and Burke. were
Mirabeau and Malesherbes to rise from the tomb
and preach to these silly and thoughtless rulers, it
would be all in vain. They learn nothing and they
forget nothing ; and, obstinate, untaught, and un-
teachable, they descend to their unregretted tomb.
Princes and Potenates of this character, born to
high stations, know nothing of the interests, desires,
and passions of mankind. They are without ac-
quaintance with the forms of real actual life, and
imagine that monarchs have nothing more to do
than to order and to govern by right divine, and
subjects no other duties than to pay scot and lot,
to punctually score up their taxes quarterly or
half-yearly, and reverently to obey autocratic
authority. Such princes were .the late Sovereigns
of Modena and`NapleS, the one sent on his travels
to Vienna, the other gone to his last fearful ac-
count. Princes of this kind, as Dr. Johnson says,
see the world in a mist, and bound their views to
a narrow compass. Such princes have never had an
opportunity of personally observing men in a pri-
vate condition; or of Wessling that knowledge of
life and character, and of the matives and springs
of action of the masses, so n.eceaeary to successful
and sagacious rulers of men.
It has been 'observed of Cromwell by a discrimi-
nate and acute thinker, that it was to the private
conslitionain 'which he first entered the world that
he owed his iuperiorlif of: understandingeater-dig 01.46. J
governors of his time. In 'a private station he
Learned how to manage men, how to judge and dis-
cern, how truly and rightly to. estimate causes and. -
consequences. The same observnt-Len-might be ap-
plied to William Prince of Ors nge; afterwards
William 111.,' to Napoleon Bonaparteeto Bernadotte
King of Sweden, to Leopold King of tile Belgians,
and to the present Emperor of the French. These
remarkable men had all a species of training and
trial which peculiarly fitted them for their arduous •
duties. Some of them knew the precious uses of
adversity, and of early unprosperous fortunes, and
were thus withdrawn from those flatterers who often
hide weaknesses, stimulate bad passions and pride,
and encourage those vain and futile pleasures, and
that thoughtlessness, listlessness, and insouciance
of mind, so fatal to all excellence.
Though the present Emperor of Austria, Francis
Joseph, in birth, position, and personal environ-
ments somewhat resembled, and in actual position
and power far surpassed and surpasses, his brothers
and kinsmen of Naples and Modena, yet we do not
place him in the same category of kings and gover-
nors as these wholly lost men. He was, and still is,
Emperor of a larger and more civilised kingdom.
He was, and still is, one of the great Potentates of
Europe. He still rules over mixed races and creeds
—ewer Germans,Bohemians,Hungarians,Roumansa
Croats, Greeks, Czecks, Servians, and Sclaves ; he
still exercises sway over Roman Catholics and Pro-
testants of the Helvetic and Augsburg confessions,
over united and schismatic Greeks, Jews, Mahome-
tans, and other dissidents. Such a monarch, the
successor of a Maria Theresa, a Joseph 11., and a
Leopold, -should have large and liberal views. He
should remember that Austria produced good sove-
reigns, wise statesmen,and great soldiers long before
our and his day, and that at the time she did so Italy
was not plundered or oppressed, or dragooned
into submission by Austrian bayonets ; that Hun- •
gary enjoyed, so late as in the reigns of Maria
Theresa, Joseph 11., and Leopold. 11., her ancient
constitution and her peculiar laws and privileges ;
and that, in this season, the Bishop of Rome
aspired to no pre-eminence or authority, within
the wide extent of the Austrian dominions, pre-
judicial to the Crown, because subversive of its
rights and oppressive to the people—because
trenching on their pockets, and privileges, and
interfering with their social freedom, habitudes,
and customs. If the doctrines of the French Revo-
lution of 1789 did not extend seventy-one years ago
into Austria it was because the Austrian monarch
was then sui juris—was then sovereign, not of a
section, but of the whole of his people; ruling over
all justly and fairly by law, and not setting Aus-
trian against Hungarian, Bohemian against Aus-
trian, and Croat,Servian, and Illyrian against
Hungarian, Bohemian, and German. The diabolical
and despot system of governing men against their
wills and against their interests by the aid of as-
sumed or stimulated antipathies of race and religion
was reserved for the epoch when the successor of
Maria Theresa surrendered his most precious im-
perial and royal prerogatives to an old man beyond
the mountains—to an old man who is quite inca-
pable of guarding, and cannot govern, guard, or
control, his own small flock ;vithin the walls of
Rome itself. How lamentably unsuccessful this bad
and vicious system has been in a poltical, finanl,
European, and military sense appeared last year in
Italy. The Treaties of Villafranca and Zurich pro-
claim that the Imperial Austrian governmental,
political, and military system is but a rope of sand,
without coherence, stability, or strength. In three
months the traditions of centuries and the acquisi-
tions of years melted into airy nothings. Worse
than this, a large and a gallant army was signally
defeated, and vast munitions and materials of war,
garnered up and husbanded at immense cost, were
wholly destroyed. The prestige of Austria is
since gone. Her finances are in a deplorable
condition, and she is wholly without recupera-
tive power—not from the want of natural re-
sources, but from the leaden weight that op-
presses and stifles her. For a time there were not
wanting those who hoped, and who even still
hope,
much from the. Emperor. He is younc, anin-
geuuous and believed to be well disposed. He has
tasted of adversity, if not of humiliation, in his
young years; and adversity is a stern teacher, an
inexorable taskmaster. Adversity may be v his
helper and aid. If the Reichsra.th is not to be a
mere empty name—if it is to be a reality, and not
a sham, a deception, and a snare, it may save
Austria, serve Hungary by doing justice to that
nation, and preserve the integrity of the hereditary
dominions. A Hungarian officer of high military
rank and the highest professional repute in the
Austrian army, General Benedek, was some months
ago sent into Hungary, yet he finds his position,
after vain efforts at conciliation, wholly untenable.
He finds men of all ranks, classes, creeds, and call-
ings opposed to the system of the Austrian Govern-
ment, and the Roman Catholic, the Protestant, and
the Greek equally opposed to the imperial system.
Classes, creeds, confessions and nationalities frater-
nised at Pesth on St. Stephen's day, and Magyars,
Croatians, Sdavonians, and Servians, chimed to-
gether in one deep diapson of discontent a
ngainst
the Imperial Government. In the very presece
of the Imperial representative, the ablest and most
energetic officer of the Austrian army, the Prin
ror ce-
Primate proposed the health not of the Empe of'
Austria, but of the King of Hungary, thereby im-
plying that Hungary by her constitution g
acknow-
ledged no Emperor, but only a King—
governing by an ancient constitution and well-known
laws. A magnate, the head of the Lutheran
larecond
-
fession, following the Prince-Primate, d
that all classes were unanimous in this vew, and a
i
Roman Catholic and an Israelite exprssed their
entire accord. Under these circumsta
nnces the su
bed-
den arrival of General Benedek at
Vienna may
well accounted for, and people can understand that
he declares that nothing short of a restoration of
the constitution will satisfy a chivalrous, ga.llant,
and loyal nation. The Hungarians who arc in the
Reichsrath do not possess the confidence of the
Hungarian nation, and it is understood that this
able soldier has sought to impress this truth, no
the
t
merely on the Emperor's Ministers, but on
Emperor himself. The Emperor, after the sad.
experiences of last year, ought t o know that it is not
the bulk and quantity of territory that give strength
to kingdoms, but the cohesion and contentment pro-
duced by good government. The strength and force
of every kingdom is wasted and diminished by jea-
lousy, discontent, and I , It, is not now pos-

imperious master.--

The Moniteur of Saturday contains a magnificent
eulogium upon the Emperor as the architectural
renovator of old, or rather as the founder of New
Paris. If war fails, and Europe will not fight, the
Emperor will, at any rate, go down to posterity as
a great builder. Nobody will deny his genius for
brick and mortars These are, in fact, the two great
monarchical lines of display—war and building.
The Kings of the Cyclopean period had, in their
rude way, the idea that they were immortalizing
themselves by masonry. They doubtless looked
forward to the future, and considered with great
sagaeity that masses of solid stone could not fail to
establish Cyclopean dynasties, though the imagina-
tion of these mason Kings was very materialistic,
and reposed upon hundred ton weights with too
much certainty as pledges of dynastic tenure. This
was a Cyclopean rather than a logical argument.
The stones remain, but the dynasty of Royal ma-
sons was gone before history ,commenced. The
Egyptian Kings were warriors and builders, and a
pyramid was in their days the great achievement
for a monarch, and that wjiich fastened hi s name
to the soil. The Assyrian monarch said, Is not.
this great Babylon that I have built ?" He rested
on his fame as a builder quite as much as on that
of a conqueror. The combination was particu-
larly adopted by French Royalty. Louis X tV. was
pre-eminently a conqueror and a builder. There is
undoubtedly something particularly satisfying in
building; as the Moniteur says, " The Emperor
understands que le travail apaise et calme." It is
" something doing,"—an answer to all impertinent
questions from persons who demand evidence of
merit in rulers. It is the " sign" to those who
"seek after signs." -
Here is a triumphant list of public edifices, pa-
laces, streets, L,quares,- churches, hospitals, taaisons
de secours, schools, asylums, public fountains7&c.,
which demonstrates the building power of the Em-
peror, and raises the eight years between 1852 and
1860 into one of the greatest building periods of
French history. It is a grand list undoubtedly.
"In 1821," says the Moniteur, " there arrived
from the retirement of his province a young man,
vif, get i, de beaucoup d'entrain. He made rapid
progress comme un charmant esprit. He was
asked one day his " critical opinion of Paris as a
city, and he replied, ' It is a city of unfinished pa-
laces." The Louvre especially excited his regret.
-It was not only unfinished, but even what was
finished, that " chef dceuvre of grandeur and har-
mony," its colonnade, could not be seen, because a
mass of dirty houses occupied the spectator's
standing-ground. " This ground must be cleared,"
he said, and he cleared it, for this young architec-
tural critic was no other than M. Thiers. But,
though M. Thiers,cleared the ground, he did not
finish the palace; another has done what the Mi-
nister of Louis Philippe thought of, and removed
-from Paris the architectural scandal which the Mi-
nister of Louis Philippe criticised_ The reproach
of an unfinished Louvre no longer remains, because
Napoleon 111 has removed it.
This great achievement, however, is only the
crown and heading of a whole work The Pala restoration,
which has made Paris a new city. is de
Justice, the Church of St. Clotilde, the Central
Market, and the Bank Barracks, stand first on
the list. Then we have eleven restored churches
or ecclesiastical edifices, some of them--'-as the
Church of St. German l'Auxerrois and the
Church of St. Etienne du Mont—very fine spe-
cimens of architecture ; we have six schools, six
barracks, three asylums, five hospitals, nine
maisons de secours, the Hotel de Ville, and the
Mairie du Louvre, while various theatres,
various public buildings connected with the
police or trade, are either in course of construction,
or are receiving important additions and repairs.
We have also an enormous addition to the water-
works of Paris, and the number of fountains and
bouches sous trottoirs in connection with them. A
grand new Opera-house is already designed. But
besides public edifices we have a vast new growth
of street architecture. 4,349 houses have been de-
molished and 9,617 have been built in eight years,
and six new squares, besides the grand continua-
tion of the Rue de Rivoli and the whole new street
plan in that quarter, now adorn Paris. The new
squares are planted, because the Emperor particu-
larly wishes teat other parts of Paris besides that
around the Tuileries should have their gardens—
" petites succursales du Jardin des Tuileries." Louis
XIV. shut up the garden of the Tuileries, against
the protest of Perrault, who boldly denounced this
exclusion " in the name of the children" of Paris.
But Napoleon 111. gives his subjects fresh garden
space. Nor does the work of improvement and
renovation confine itself to Paris; the places in
the environs, by a new plan, are to be architectu-
rally incorporated in the capital itself, and the
whole is to form one grand design of a capital such
as the world has never yet seen . The great number
of "new views" which have recently been opened in
Paris by the Emperor's plans have already indeed
changed the look of the city; many quarters of
Paris do not know themselves again; the close suf-
focating alleys and labyrinthal collections of pesti-
lential holes and corners are no more; paved and
macadamised roads occupy their place, 400 kilo-
metres of pavement and 100 of macadamisation, 390
of asphalt, and 350 of planted road having been
added to the street cleanliness and convenience of
Paris by the present Emperor, to which we may add
great improvements in collecting the dust, that
especial nuisance of Paris. But when the whole
work of renovation has gone on some time longer
—when the Seine has been purified, and its filth
carried off in sewers, when more " new views" have
been opened, and more old recesses of abominations
have been cleared, when the work of demolition and
the work of restoration have gone on a sufficient
time, and when, lastly, the environs of Paris have
been brought by one comprehensive design into
the capital itself,—wo shall then have a capital
that as far transcends the Paris of Louis Philippe
as the Paris of Louis Philippe transcended all other
capitals. M. Veron, the writer of the paper in the
Moniteur, compliments the Emperor upon his mar-
vellous success, and gives us his compliment in the
Moniteur :—" 16was with the Emperor," he says,
"in one of the narrow and sinuous alleys of the
Parc de Boulogne. It was just at the conclusion
of the peace with Russia, and my joy at the event
made a courtier of me. ' I said, vous f event
made a courtier of me. '.Sire,' I said, 'vous faites
bien la guerre, la paix, et les pares.' " Napoleon
111. has unquestionably a taste for building, and
he has also a knowledge of the French heart, and
of one avenue to it—viz., the apotheosis of Paris.
There is one celestial empire besides that of which
Pekin is the capital. "The kingdom of France,"
said Joseph le Maistre, " is next to the kingdom of
Heaven," and Paris is the centre and absorbent of
France. This and the expeditious machinery of a
despotism must account for the wonderful contrast
in the despatch and method with which these things
are done in Paris and in London.— Times.

THE REV
S. I. MB. PRCE
TE B'. AND THE

The repeated failures which have hithertO been
the only results of the strenuous exertions of the
Rev. Lewis Price to release his wife from the cus-
tody and influence of the Princeites, do not appear
to have had the effect of at all abating the ardour
of that gentleman, for hearing,upon reliable autho-
rity, that Mrs. Price was seen at North Petherton,
on Tuesday last, he at once proceeded to that vil-
lage in the hope of being. more fortunate than he
was on the previous occasion of seeking her rescue.
His arrival was soon made known, and in the course
of a very short space of time the greater portion of
the inhabitants were on the qui wive. A part of the
houses of Mrs. Amery and Mr. Vearncombe, two
adherents of Prince, were searched, but Mr. Price
expressed himself satisfied with the assurances of
the inmates, and did not proceed to any great length
with his investigations. After his return to Bridg-
water in the evening, he was told that Mrs. Price
had again been seen at Amery's house, and at an
early hour on Wednesday morning he accordingly
made another visit to North Petherton, but was not
fortunate enough to effect his object. It seems to
be quite certain that Mrs. Price was in the village
on Tuesday, but it also appears to be evident that
so great are tha apprehensions of the Agapemonites
that her husband will succeed in obtaining her res-
cue, that she is frequently removed at night from
one place to another in order to elude the vigilance of
Mr. Price's scouts. We understand that it is the in-
tention of the followers of " My Lord" to apply to
the county magistrates at their meeting to-day
(Thursday) at Bridgwater, for warrants against
several of the persons who took a prominent part in
the storming of the Agapemone on the 21st inst.
Mr. Price' bas written a letter to'Brother Thomas,
offering to indemnify the Princeites for any loss to
which they may have been put in consequence of
attack upon their premises during the evening of
Tuesday week. The general feeling in the sur-
rounding neighbourhood is very strongly in favour
of Mr. Price, who receives constant • offers from all
classes who wish to render their aid to his enter-
prise, although, from the fact of the Agapemone
being now guarded by a strong force of the county
constabulary, any future attempt will carry with it
more risk than accompanied previous sorties.
