LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1835.

On Monday last, the new Irish Viceroy, Lord
MULGRAVE, made his triumphal entry into Dublin.
A report of the proceedings that took place on this
occasion will be seen in another part of The Sun ;
by which it appears that his Lordship was received
with the utmost enthusiasm by all classes, except the
Orangemen, who refused to take any share in the
general rejoicings, from a not unnatural idea that in
the shouts of tl,l e people they heard the death-knell of
Tory ascendancy. His Lordship, we trust, will not
falsify the anticipations of these men ; but bear i►l
mind that, as the representative of Majesty, it is his
bounden duty to consult the interests of Ireland, not
those of an Irish faction. Hitherto, the sistr-country
has had Viceroys, if not exclusively Orange, at least
but very faintly opposed to Orange policy ; and it
is now full time that she should have a na-
ional one—one, we mean, who with sagacity to
see the right path, combines the courage to pur-
sue it. In Lord ML'LGRAVE both these qualities
are combined. He has long been known as a con-
sistent, unflinching Reformer; and during his short
hut active Vice-royalty in .Jamaica, won for himself the
proud distinction of being " the slave's friend." Alas,
he goes to a country, the majority of whose population
stand quite as much in need of his/ friendship as the
Jamaica negroes I If there be slave •drivers in the one
island, there are Orange Magistrates in the other ;

and the red field of Rathcormac can testify how
much the poor Irish peasant has to dread from the
violence of these latter. Perhaps there is no poli-
tical trust of so delicate and difficult a character, ani
requiring the union of so many high, and even contra-
dictory qualities, as that of an Irish Viceroy. He inn! t,
to a certain extent, be a man of itnpule ; but he must
also be guided by certain fixed principles of conduct ;
otherwise, with every disposition to please by a show
of quick and generous sensibility, he ‘vill find himself
the theme of general ridicule and contempt. It was
here Lord WELLESLEY failed. He knew how to con-
ciliate as a man, but not how to command as a Vice-
roy. If he steered clear of Scylla, it was only to
run foul of Charybdis. All the benefits his own
good feeling might have prompted him to bestow on
Ireland, were neutralised by the Orange advisers,
whom he had not the courage to discard from his pre-
sence 4 Warned by his example, we trust that Lord
MuLmtAvE will pursue a firm and independent
course, just alike to Protestant and Catholic.

The organs of the anti-national faction are artfully
ndeavouring to direct the public eye from the tri-

mphant spectacle exhibited in the West Riding of
the County of York. They feel the full force of the
Yorkshire argument in favour of the MELBOURNE
Administration, and as that feeling is by no means
pleasant, they dexterously snatch at the opportunity
of drawing the attention of their readers to a more
agreeable subject of reflection, afforded them by the
late exhibition of Sir R. PEEL at Merchant Tailors'
Hall. The speech of the Right Hon. Baronet
has been their constant theme for the last three days,
and they have not yet discovered half its excellences.
Such a speech never was heard before. It is the
greatest effort that the human mind ever conceived or
human genius ever executed. Talk of DEMOS-
THENES or CICERO ! A pretty comparison indeed I
What were they but mere babblers compared to the
Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL ! The ordinary mode
of publication is indignantly repudiated, and Tory in-
vention is racked to discover some new method of dis-
seminating the divine composition which shall be
worthy of it and its author. Such is the extravagant
style of encomium lavished upon a speech which, in the
sincerity of our hearts, we think a very poor affair—far
inferior even indeed to very many of the author's own
performances of the same kind. Considered as a mere
after-dinner effusion it is passable enough ; but that
is not the just view of it. The festival at Merchant
Tailors' Hall was got up by the Tories in honour of Sir
ROBERT, as the champion of their principles. It was
trumpeted for weeks together in all the newspapers.
A display was expected from the man whom the
Tories " delighted to honour," and he had ample
time for preparation. We are therefore to look at the
result, not as an unpremeditated harangue, for which
much allowance is to be made, but as a finished
composition, the fruit of much study and deep
thought—as, in shorts the best sample of
the speaker's mental furniture which he can give.
The eulogists of this speech are, we apprehend, of
our opinion in their hearts, 'nd therefore we
think they would have shown lime taste, and (freat, r
honesty, as well as sincerer friendship for the Right j
Honourable Baronet, if, instead of attempting to I

pass it off upon the public as a chef d'ceuvre, they
had bestowed Upon it the very moderate share of praise
to which it is entitled.

We find the following significant paragraph in the
columns of a Morning Contemporary :—" Yesterday,
at three o'clock, a number of the incumbents of the
principal vicarages, &c., in the deanery of Dartford,
assembled at the Green Man Hotel on Blackheath.
Shortly before three, two Reporters attended, and
were ushered into a long room ; but they had not been
seated many minutes, before a general buz prevailed
among the pluralists and non-residents of the Church,
on ascertaining that the strangers who had so intrusively
entered their sanctum, were Reporters. Dr. BURNIE,
the rector of Greenwich, lost no time in holding a con-
ference with Mr. WHITMARSH, the proprietor of the
Green Man, and expressed his objection to the pre-
sence of Reporters. A waiter was accordingly de-
puted to convey a message to the Reporters, that the
Bishop and the clergy had merely met to dine toge-
ther, which message was accompanied with a polite re-
quest that the Reporters would leave the room. One of
the Reporters, who had been invited by Mr. HENRY
WHITMARSH some days previous, to attend the
Meeting, expressed his astonishment at such treatment,
when it was admitted that there would be some
speeches on the occasion, and that it was a Meeting
for the purpose of forming an Association I About
half-past three o'clock, the Bishop of ROCHESTER
arrived, and, it was said, acted as Chairman." Where-
ever there is mystery, mischief is generally brewing, and
this hole-and-corner meeting betrays no symptoms of
proving an exception to the rule. It has, we verily believe,
been got up for the sole purpose of concocting peti•
tions, to be hawked about the diocese for signa-
tures, on the Irish Church question, and which
will afterwards be presented to the House of
Commons by some Conservative Member, as speak-
ing the avowed, deliberate sentiments of the
honest Kentish yeomanry. The clergy are famous
for manufacturing petitions in this sly, underhand way,
and will now, of course, be more alert than ever in ply-
ing their trade. We trust, therefore, that the Reformers
of Kent will have their eye on them. Rectors and
Pluralists meeting in secret, with a Bishop at their
head, for the purpose of. forming " an Association,"
are the fittest possible subjects for the exercise of a
wholesome distrust—especially in times like the pre-
sent, when the Church, madly imagining that her all is
at stake, will not be very fastidious about the means
she employs to check the progress of Reform.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, received this morn-
ing, contain a report of the proceedings in the New
Court of the Luxemburg up to half-past three o'clock.
The Peers assembled at eleven in a Legislative capa-
city, nominally for the purpose of receiving a message
from the Government, but, in reality, in order to adopt
measures for punishing the writers of a letter which
appeared in the last number of the Tribune, on Mon-
day, deprecating the judicial conduct of the Court of
Peers, and encouraging the accused to persevere in their
resistance to the unconstitutional proceedings of that
assembly. The letter was signed, according to some
of the journals, by ninety-one, and according to others
by ninety-four of the gentlemen chosen by the prisoners
as their Counsel, including the names of M.CARREL,
rsI.VoYEn d'ARGENWN, the Abbe LAMENAI s, and
M. M. GARNIER PAGES, CORMENIN, and AUDRY
de PUYRAVEAU, the three lust being Members of
the Chamber of Dquties. In addition to these well-
known names, the letter was subscribed by several of
the most respteiable advocates at the French bar, and
a number of the most influential private citizens in
Paris. The letter which appeals to have been written
immediately after the brutal expulsion of the priso-
ners from the Court, concluded by recommending, the
collection of 20,000 francs in aid of the families of the
prisoners.. The first part of it ran thus :

" The system of violence recommended by the King's Mi-
nisters, and adopted by the Court of Peers, bad heretofore
sho..vn itself by a sort of shameful timidity ; to-day it has
manifested itself openly, by the employment of brutal force,
by your expulsion from the bar of the Court with the aid of vio-
lence.

" They had commenced by e%eludinx your Counsel ; it is
now your turn to he excluded. They wished you to reply in
the absence of your Counsel ; now they want to judge you in
your own absence. Let them proceed in their course ; this
is not justice ; this is civil war continued at a period of pro-
found peace, and in the very sanctuary of the law.
" Persevere, Citizens ; remain as you have until now
shown yourselves, calm, proud, and energetic; you are the de-
fenders of the common right ; what you wish France
wishes it ; all generous opinions concur in wishing it ;
France will never look upon as Judges those who deny your
defenders. The Court of Peers, in the present state of things,
roust continue to progress in the fatal path in whieb the Go-
vernment has engaged it, and after putting it out of your power
to defend yourselves, they will have the pitiful courage to con-
demn you. You will accept with a noble resignation that new
iniquity added to so many other iniquities. The infamy of the
Judges the glory of the accused ; at all times, and in ail
countries, those who, in any shape, through hatred or weak-
ness, have participated in acts of savage justice, have invoked
the hatred of their contemporaries and execration of posterity."
This letter was read in the Chamber of Peers by
the young Duke of MONTEBELLO, who delivered a
furious farrago of abuse against it ; and concluded by
moving that the Chamber would command the persons
whose names were annexed to the letter, together with
the responsible editor of the now defunct Tribune, to
appear at its bar. Another of the Peers moved that
all deliberations on the subject of the letter should take
place in a secret committee, upon which the Chamber
retired, and did not again appear till three o'clock. As
yet it is not known what measures they resolved to
adopt. They ate in truth sorely perplexed. Which-
ever way they turn, they are confronted with in-
surmountable objects or appalling visions of the
future. They know well that they dare not pu-
nish the writers of the letter, without preparing
against the fury of another revolution ; and they know
also, that unless they punish them, or in some way or
other silence their clamours, they cannot proceed with
the trials. The effect already produced by this docu-
ment is sufficient to alarm the Court and the Cabinet.
On Saturday twenty-eight of the prisoners—the men
of Lyons—consented to hear the Act of Accusation
read, and to acquiesce in the constitution and forms
of the Court ; whereas on Monday twenty-five out of
the twenty-eight published a protest against the
proceedings, and declared themselves determined to
abide by the resolution of their brethren of Paris.
Thus the Court of Peers, out of one hundred and
ninety-two prisoners, have only three who are willing
to recognize its authority ; which three are now known
to be spies of the Government, who were imprisoned
with the accused of April in order to betray them I
It is rumoured that the KING begins to tremble at
the prospect of the dangers by which he is now
environed. The fate of his father recurs to his me-
mory, rather as a presentiment of indistinct visionary
evil, than as a painful recurrence registered in the history
of his country. Strange, however, that a recollection so
awful—so fraught with salutary instruction—should
produce no other effect on his mind than a dogged de-
termination to brave all dangers, rather than appear to
yield to popular intimidation. He is fully sensible of
the hazard he incurs ; but he prefers risking his
crown to a submission to the wishes of a party whom
he is pleased to rank with the canaille. The Peers
participate in all the dismal apprehensions of the SO-
VEREIGN, although the majority of them are not pos-
sessed of one atom of his moral courage. The threatened
resignation of Ministers, and the menaces of Louis
PHILIPPE, ore neces,;ary to compel the ,ttc.ndarue of
several Peers now in attendance on the Court; and the
Journal du Commerce states that forty-two of them at

least, will quit the Court in a body if the trial be pro-
ceeded with, in the absence of the prisoners, beyond
the mere reading of the Act of Accusation.
This is a fearful state of things ; and all this has
been brought about by the obstinacy, and the personal
desire of revenge,which have hitherto actuated the public
conduct of the KING. Had Louis PHILIPPE—as
was suggested to him by the Press, and certain mem-
bers of the liberal Government of this country—
granted an Act of Amnesty to all the pri-
soners of April, 1834, during the celebration of his
birth-day fete in the following month, the accused
would have received the Royal boon with sentiments
of everlasting gratitude—they would have retired peace-
ably to the bosoms of their families, and, penetrated
with a deep sense of the KING'S clemency, they would I
have applied themselves to their respective employ-
ments, with a secret determination never again to be
found wanting in gratitude to so gracious a Sovereign.
But instead of acting on such an enlarged and prudent
principle, the KING waited till the presumed conspirators
had failed in their object, and then surrounding them with
hired spies, and all the infamous tools of a despotic govern-
ment, had them seized when their offences were beginning
to be forgotten, and—without regard to the cries of their
famishing families, who depended upon them for subsist-
ence—buried them in dungeons, till a scheme could be
concocted for prosecuting them for crimes transcending
the judicial competency of the ordinary laws and tri-
bunals of France. Perhaps such an act of wanton
tyranny as the imprisonment of men for fourteen
months previous to their being brought to trial,
is without a parallel in the modern history of the
free Governments of Europe. Neither would the KING
have dared to perpetrate a cruelty of this sort, had he
not previously resolved that none of the prisoners
should ever be set at liberty. His determination from
the commencement was to make examples of them, so
as to terrify the French people into an easy subjection
to his yoke ; and the long delay in bringing them to
trial arose out of the difficulty of securing their
unanimous conviction as traitors. The KING ima-
gined that, by means of the secret agency he had set
on foot, there would be on abundance of damning
evidence against them, and he had too much
confidence in his own powers to anticipate any
strong resistance to the prosecution in the Cham-
ber of Deputies. The honesty of Marshal GE-
RARD, and the firmness of the Deputies, gave the
death-blow to the Royal anticipations of an easy
triumph. Despairing of being able to revenge him-
self on the prisoners by means of the ordinary tribu-
nals, as they would, to a great extent, be influenced
by the opinions of the representatives of the nation,
Louis PHILIPPE turned to the Peers—and the re-
sult will be shortly before the world.
The Tribune, which expired on Tuesday, was ac-
companied in its exit by the journal La Justice, which
likewise fell a victim to the continual prosecutions car-
ried on against it by the Government. The united
terms of imprisonment to which the different Editors
of the Tribune have been sentenced, during the last
four years, amounts to a period of forty-nine years.
Of the 157,630 francs imposed vu that Journal as
fines during the same brief period, 85,852 francS were
subscribed by the public. The ileformateur, a
Journal only published for a few months, announced
on Tuesday, that it would henceforth assume the hostile
position of the Tribune.
The Chamber of Deputies continues its sittings,
but for some days past its proceedings have attracted
little notice. On Monday a rather animated discus-
sion arose on a motion for granting a supplementary
credit of 20,000 francs for paying certain expense.
I incurred by the French forces during the seige of
Antwerp. The vote was subsequently carried.
Our arrivals from Bayonne are far from being satis-
factory. The following from the Messager contains
the latest intelligence from the Spanish frontier :-
1 PARIS, MAY I.—A letter from Bayonne of the 7th is to
the following effect
Valdez arrived at Pampeluna on the 3d.

" General Cordova is gore to Madrid.
" Zumalacarregui, after the :lair of Asarta, proceeded to
the walls of Pampeluna, and during the night that he remained
in tlae environs his advanced guard encamped even in the cc-
nietry of Pampeluna. The Viceroy was obliged to request
Gurrea, who has resigned on account of ill health, to go
against the Carlists, but he was obliged to 'return without ef-
fecting anything, because the Carlists had made themselves.
masters of all the pcsitions. The latter seeing the retreat of
the Queen's troops, went to Iruzun, which they were prepar-
ing to besiege, but Zumalacarregui hearing the arrival of
Valdez, left II uzun and retired into the Amescoas. Viddcz
ordered the garrison of the port of Iruzun to return to Para-
pcluna;
" Persons who have come from the theatre of war say tl:;it
the Queen's troops are in a complete state of demoralization.
In the retreat which followed the action of the 22d the Chris-
tinos themselves plundered the baggage of the Generals.
" The number of Sick that Valdez had brought to Pampeluna
is excessive. The greater number of disorders is caused by
the hardships which the troops endured on their way from
Logrono to Pampeluna. They were exposed to constant
rains, and were obliged to abandon their shoes in the clayey
ground ever which they passed.
" Dr. Lallemant, for whom two of Mina's aide-de-camps
went to Montpellier, has arrived at Fredela. He was waiting
for an escort to accompany him to Pampeluna to General
Mi6a, who is still suffering, though a visible improvement has
taken place in his health within these few days.
" On his arrival at Pampeluna, Valdez immediately went
to see Mina. A person who was eresent at the interview in-
forms us that the greatest cordiality prevailed in their con-
versation.

" The column of Jaureguy arrived on the 4th ult. at Zu-
garramurdi : it consists of the regiments of Africa, San Fer-
nando, and Chinchilla, and a battalion of Peieteros.
" It is known that Valdez left Pampeluna on the sth ult.
at the head of 18,000 men, and proceeded towards Lumbier,
opposite to the point occupied by the Carlists."

Montebello has asked the mise en cause of 92 individuals, law-
yers, &c. ; and amongst them three deputies, for having signed

Brussels papers of Tuesday have been received.
On the 10th inst. Captain Ross, the well-known
Northern Navigator, arrived in Brussels, and was pre-
sented to the KING. The Prince of LEININGEN, ne-
phew of the KING, arrived at Brussels, from Ger-
many on Monday. The Prince will shortly proceed
to London, where he intends remaining for a short
time. " We learn from good authority (says the
Courrier Beige) that a proposal has been made by the
Government of Queen CHRISTINA, of Spain, to a
superior Belgian officer, to. firm in Belgium an auxiliary
corps of Belgian volunteers, to be employed in Spain
till the pacification of the Northern provinces
of that Kingdom. The Corps to consist of 12,000

Government shall give its consent to the execution of

meat has been made, authorises us to say, that great
advantages would be given to officers and soldiers
joining the expedition."

German and Dutch Papers have been received this
morning. On the 28th of April, the birthday of the
Grand Duke ALEXANDER, eldest son of the Empe-
ror NICHOLAS, who had attained his eighteenth year,
was celebrated with great rejoicings at Warsaw. Di-
vine service was performed in the Cathedral, in pre-
sence of all the great Officers of St4te. On the 2d
instant Prince ALEXANDER of Wurtemburg, Colonel
in the Imperial service, brother to the reigning Queen
of WURTEMBURG, was married to the beautiful and
highly accomplished Countess REDAY of Transyl-
vania. It is what is called a Morgaenatic marriage.
The late Emperor FRANCIS, a short time before his
death, conferred on the bride the title of Countess
HOHENSTEIN, which she is to bear as Consort of the
Prince, and which is also to descend to the children
of this marriage. •
There is a rumour current in Vienna to the effect
that the Government is about to adopt a more liberal
Tariff. It is also stated that measures are being taken
to put an end to all jealousies between the Imperial
Court and the Vorort of Switzerland.

We request the attention of those of our readers
who belong to the legal profession, to a letter in this
day's Sun on the subject of extra-judicial decisions in
the Court of Chancery. Our correspondent raises the
important question whether the judgment of a CHAN-
CELLOR, delivered after he has resigned-his office—that
is, when he is no longer invested with a judicial cha-
racter—can be legally enforced in cases where the par-
ties in the suit are trustees for others whose consent
cannot possibly be obtained.
There is another point connected with the case to
which our correspondent refers (Lady HEWLEY'S
Charity) which we think deserves the consideration of
the litigating parties. Suppose either party should be
dissatisfied with Lord LYNDHURST'S decision, can the
cause be carried to the House of Lords ? We appre-
hend that House cannot entertain an appeal, except
from some Court recognised by the law of theland. Will
it be pretended that an ex-Chancellor is such a Court ?

In another part of The Sun will be found a highly
interesting paper by Dr. LARDNER on the subject of
the Pneumatic Railway. Our readers are, we pre-
sume, aware that a patent has been taken out, and an
Association formed for the construction of railways on
a principle entirely new, by which it is proposed to
supersede the use of steam applied by means of loco-
motive engines, by the employment of suction, or, to
speak more correctly, atmospheric pressure, as a mov-
ing power. Of the competence of this agent to pro-
duce the desired effect, there can be no doubt ; the
only question is, whether it can be made available in
practice. If the working of the model railroad, which
we have ourselves witnessed, he any criterion by which
to judge of the efficiency of the plan on a large scale,
we should say there can be no doubt of its complete
success. Nor can the importance of the improvement
be easily over-rated, when it is stated, as we find it is
in the prospectus—

" That by the new system a line of road may be formed and
constructed, for at the most, two-thirds, and in some cases, for
one half the expense involved by the common system, and that
such a railway can be maintained and worked with far greater
speed, and infinitely greater safety, for three-fourths less than
the common system costs, and that therefore passengers and
goods may be conveyed at one half the price which the com-
mon system demands, and then yield a far greater profit."
If these advantages, or even the half of what is here
held out, be realised, the Pneumatic Railway must
soon be generally adopted.

As Dr. LARDNER has in his letter discussed at_
length the comparative merits of the system now in use,
and that which it is proposed to substitute for it, we
need not enter upon that subject. We shall therefore
merely attempt to convey to our readers some idea of
the construction of the Pneumatic Railroad, though
this can be done but imperfectly by description alone,
without the help of drawings. The Railroad consists
of an iron pipe or cylinder from 30 to 40 inches in
diameter, half imbedded in the ground, and having on
each side a projecting ledge, forming the rails on which
the wheels of the- carriages run, the cylinder being
between the wheels and rising nearly to their axles.
In the upper part of the cylinder there is a longitudinal
opening, the edges of which turn upward and outward,
rising considerably above the surface, and forming a
channel resembling a trough with a slit along the
bottom. In this trough lies a wadded cord well
greased, answering the purpose of a valve to keep the
cylinder air tight. Within the cylinder is a piston, to
the rod of which is attached, by an arm passing up through
the opening, the car or governor, with which the train
of carriages is connected by a chain. When therefore
the air in the cylinder is partially exhausted (which is
done by stationary steam-engines placed at proper dis-
tances along the line), the piston, impelled by the
weight of the atmosphere, moves forward, drawing
with it the governor and attendant train. As the
governor advances the cord rises, passes over a pulley
of large diameter on the top of the car, and, descend-
ing behind it, resumes its place in the trough, into
which it is pressed by a wheel attached to the go-
vernor ; while, through the portion of the trough left
open between the point where the cord rises before the
governor and that where it falls behind it, the air
rushes into the cylinder, and acts as a-propelling force
to the piston. The upright connecting arm between the
piston-rod and the governor, as it moves forward
through the opening in the bottom of the trough, is
effectually prevented from rubbing against the
edges by horizontal wheels fixed to it, which act
against the external sides of the trough, when-
ever the car. has a tendency to lean to either side.
The motion of the governor, as well as the piston, is
also steadied, and kept in a direct line by two wheels
placed, the one before the other, within the cylinder,
and moving on short axles fixed to the piston rod.
These wheels have a groove in their circumference,
and run on a rail in the bottom of the cylinder. This
internal apparatus is appropriately termed the- DY-
NAMIC TRAVELLER.

The Association, we understand, intend immediately
to lay down a short line on the full scale, and to bring
the practicability of the plan to the only sure test,
that of experiment.

The lovers of the opera will enjoy a rich treat this
evening in the performance, for the first time in this country, of
Donizetti's opera of Marino Faliero, the story of which is
familiar to all readers of Lord Byron. There is no foreigner
in this country who deserves better of the British public than
Signor Lablache, and we have no doubt the house will be
crowded to the ceiling.
