which intervention would be attempted. But it is
not quite so easy to anticipate what will really:be
done when weitake into the account, not the interests
of France--for we will do the actual Statesmen of that
country the justice to say that they are so far worthy
of being the confederates of Lord Palmerston that the
interests of France, are the very last thing that will be
thought of—but the interests of the predominant po-
litical party in that country, as a political party. In
this point of view the question is beset with difficul-
ties, so much so, indeed, that the French Statesmen
whose interests are at stake have not yet been able to
agree among themselves what is best to be done. It
is urged on the one hand that to the France of July,
that is to say, the France of which the walls of the
Tuileries form the circumference, and its inhabitants
the population, the restoration of the legitimate
Monarch in Spain would be rather an ominous
and dangerous event ; while, on the other, it
is argued, with equal force and truth, that a
war against the Spanish nation has been proved
by experience to be a costly and hazardous
adventure—that the success of the Marshals of the
France of July is not absolutely certain in an enter-
prise in which the Marshals of Napoleon lamentably
failed—that, however the French people might tole-
rate or even admire a brilliant and decisive mi-
litary movement, they would not patiently endure a te-
dious and expensive warfare, such as that of the inter-
vention might probably prove, for such objects as
the intervention must profess to have in view—and
that the quasi legitimacy of Louis Philippe might
sustain a shock in that brisk discussion of the principle
of legitimacy which a war against Don Carlos could
not fail to occasion. It is understood that the
king of the French himself is included among the
latter class of reasoners ; and he is not a man, we appre-
hend, to be much moved by the embarrassment which
his indecision may occasion to Lord Palmerston.
We omit, of course, all considerations as to the
justice or injustice of intervention, now that we are
pointing out the circumstances and arguments which
affect its probability. And we do so in the perfect
conviction that the justice of intervention in the inter-
nal affairs of Spain, and the probability of such inter-
vention, are perfectly separate and distinct questions,
having not the least relation to, or connection with,
each other. That the Spanish people hare a right to
settle their internal disputes in their own way is cer-
tain. That it will be an act of monstrous injustice for
any other nation to obstruct the exercise of that right,
is as clear as any proposition of international law or
international morals can possibly be. But, what of
that ? Nobody is so extravagant as to suppose that
the France of July, or the Downing-street of the pre-
sent moment, care anything about such old-fashioned
trumpery as the law and morality of nations.—Morn-
ing Post,

A pamphlet, on " The Present State of the Irish
Poor, with the Outlines of a Plan of General Employ-
ment, by James O'Flynn, Assistant Commissioner of
Irish Poor Inquiry," has recently issued from the press.
This brochure is peculiarly well timed, and, as Mr.
O'Connell is about to bring the subject of a legal pro-
vision for the Irish poor before the Legislature, it
would be eminently desirable that, before sacrificing
principle to'expediency, and sound policy to the prompt
ings of a mistaken and short-sighted humanity, every
Member of Parliament would first make himself ac-
quainted with the true causes of Irish distress before
applying a nostrum—
., Which will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
Whiles rank corruption, mining all within,
Infects uns,,en."

The writer evinces not only a most intimate and ac-
curate acquaintance with the present suffering state
of the small farmer, cottier, and labourer of Ireland,
but also strong powers of mind in the deduction of
his conclusions and the suggestion of remedies equally
creditable to him as a philanthropist, philosopher, and
politician. After tracing the suffering and demoraliza-
tion of the Irish poor to the neglect and pery,tcution
of landlords, and the griping oppression of middle
men, and proN,ing that the atrocities so-often heard of
are attributable to the system under which they live,
and not to the native character of the people, he thus
comments on the introduction of poor laws

A system of Poor-laws for Ireland is at present a most
popular object ; but if by it be meant a system of in or out-
door support, such as exists or existed in England, I fear there
are some insuperable difficulties—and a principle one is, where
are tho funds to be procured for either ? If in-door relief bo
the chosen mode, where, I ask, are funds to be procured for
the building of poor-houses large enough to contain the
greater part of the labouring population for eight months in
the year, to say nothing whatever of their support when in
them ? Will the landlords be taxed for this purpose ? If so,
it is but a new distribution of property without any ultimate
good whatsoever; will the feeding men in idleness, either in a
house or out o it, make
__productive the untouched re-
sources of the country? Try the out-door mode, that is—
convert the whole country into a poor-house ; this was exploded
in England, and the same difficulty remains—where aro the
funds to be procured?"
Having shown the utter impossibility of introducing,
a system of in or out-door relief, he proposes the fol-
lowing plan of general employment :
" Let the whole labouring population be estimated by the
Parliamentary returns, and be distributed equally upon the
land, according to its value. Suppose an estate, then, allotted
out of the entire number, say, fifty labourers, but no parti-
cular individuals ; let the proprietor be obliged to employ,
himself, that number, or cause them to be employed by his
tenants, or pay into a public fund the whole, or a certain por-
tion of the daily hire of every one, within that number, not
employed upon his property—this fund to be appropriated to
public works, and the surplus labourers to be employed upon
them.

""" There will be thus two modes of employment open to
every industrious man—agriculture and public works. When
dismissed by the farmer, he has the public employment to
go to."
_ _ _

The proposed plan, which with a little consideration
might be made perfectly practicable in its details, would
equalise, or rather remove altogether, the burden of
surplus population, as the improved state of the land
and its increased value through the opening of com-
munications, would, in a short time, be much more
than an equivalent, especially in a country so, unim-
proved as Ireland, where labour judiciously employed
would be certain to make a quick return in solid cash.
The writer continues—

" This plan avoids entirely any vexatious system of settle-
ment. To exhibit the working of it, let us take a parish in
Leinster, and one of equal value in Connaught, each being
assessed at fifty labourers ; the parish in Leinster, having a
small population, contains but forty, and the hire of the re-
maining ten (or whatever portion of it may be determined on)
is sent up to a public exchequer. The parish of Connaught
c:.-,ntnins sixty labourers, and receives from that exchequer the
hire of ten more than its allotted number, which is to be ex-
pended in public works where they are most wanted."
Our quotations already exceed the limits assigned
by pressure of subjects of current interest, but we can-
not omit the following—
Do any think that agitation in Ireland arises only from
fancied evils ; and that the Irish, as a nation, are prone to neg-
lect their own affairs in quarrelling about abstract doctrines of
politics and economy ? No ; the true causes of Irish agitation
are the cold, the hunger, and the misery which are there ; and
the periodical turnings-out of the wretched tenantry to beggary
and starvation. Until those causes are removed, there can be
no tranquillity in Ireland."
We again earnestly recommend those interested in
the state of Ireland to give this pamphlet a careful pe-
rusal. Wherever poor laws have been introduced they
have acted as a curse—a curse to those who give and
them who take—why visit Ireland with this further in-
fliction ? Is not the measure of her woes already full ?
It is the means and remuneration of employment, and
not the means and remuneration of laziness and sloth
—a bonus to industry, not to idleness, which are want-
ing to rescue Ireland from the horrors which, like the
Promethean vulture, prey upon her vitals.—Morning
Advertiser.

Of such large dimensions were the hailstones which
fell last week near Chichester, that many of them were seen
on the ground the next morning.
A BOAT SWAMPED BY STEAMERS.--FATAL
ACCIDENT.—On Monday night eight men, in the employ of
Mr. Stultz, the fashionable tailor in Bond-street, who had
been spending the day at Greenwich Fair, got into a wherry,
rowed by a skilful waterman, for the purpose of returning to
town, and proceeded in safety as far as Execution Dock,
Wapping, when two steam-vessels passed them in contrary
directions, going at full speed, and creating so much commu..
tion in the water, that all the small craft became unmanage-
able, and the boat shipped a sea, wetting every person on
board. One of the party became alarmed, and finding there
was a good deal of water in the boat, requested the waterman
to put in shore, but ere he could pull another stroke, a second
wave caused by the swell dashed over the wherry and swamped
it. The whole party were immersed in the stream, on which
boats put off from all quarters, and picked up several of the
party, some of whom could swim, and conveyed them to various
places. Two of the party, both Germans, are missing, and
are supposed to have been drowned.
