brother, we must respect the feelings of attachment
and veneration with which he clings to the
memory of the departed statesman, whose opinions
are still retained as a sacred inheritance or family
heirloom, by the successor to his estates and title.
There was ever a more than fraternal love be-
tween the brothers. The elder let slip no opportu-
nity of advancing the interests of the younger—of
affording him those chances of distinguishing himself
in his profession of which he so fully and so nobly
availed himself; while the younger repaid those benefits
with an almost filial piety, exhibited, not only during
the lifetime of the former, but maintained with
even increased intensity for more than a quarter of a
century after his death.
But, however conclusive the views of Viscount
CASTLEREAGH delivered fifty years since, and under
totally different circumstances, may appear to the
present Marquis of LONDOND ERRY, we cannot attach
the same weight thereto, or suppose that the progress
of amelioration is to be suspended, because a member
of a particular Government bed declared that
there was then no intention of doing away
with the office. As we have already pointed
out, matters are at present in a very different condi-
tion from what they were in during the last year of
the eighteenth century. The country is no longer
involved in hostilities ; peace and tranquillity reign
on every side. Communications which were then
tedious and doubtful may, since the application of
steam to purposes of navigation and locomotion, and
the construction of railways, be effected with cer-
tainty, rapidity, and safety. Even the patronage
of the office has been materially clipped,
and a Viceroy is not required to arrange
the representation of the various constituencies, or
to mediate between the Government and the Irish
Members. All the advantages that were connected
with tne office have passed away, while the evils
attendant upon a divided administration are even
more perceptible than ever. Jobbing and intrigue
are still, carried on in the precincts of the Castle.
'4 Back-stairs influence" is in full operation, and party
feeling—the fatal divisions that separate " the orange"
from " the green"—are perpetrated through the bale-
ful atmosphere of the mock Court. If Lord CASTLE..
REAGH himself were. now in existence he would
most probably recognise the propriety of the change,
and the expediency of rendering Ireland an integral
portion of the British empire, of cementing and
rendering indissoluble the union which was effected
through his agency.
The Noble Marquis adduced, as a further reason
against the abolition, the existence of a separate
bar and a separate judicial staff. In other words, be-
cause certain distinctions are kept up which we
verily believe to be deeply injurious to both countries,
no attempt is to be made to effect any amelioration.
It may, perhaps, be considered desirable, for a time
at least, to preserve the local courts, but we have
no hesitation in saying that the complete
fusion and amalgamation of the English and Irish
Bars is exceedingly desirable for both kingdoms, hut
more especially for Ireland, to whose welfare and
prosperity it is absolutely essential. Why, we ask,
should distinctions be maintained which only
tend to keep alive and foster a spirit of spurious
nationality ? What public benefit can be derived
from preventing an English barrister from
practising, an English physician from prescrib-
ing, or an English surgeon from setting
broken bones, in Ireland ? The laws are
practically the same. There is ne difference
in the general principles on which they are based.
Diseases, too, are the same in character in England
and in Ireland, and yet the most eminent member of
the Irish Bar would not be allowed to plead in one of
the Courts of Westminster or Lincoln's Inn, although
he had received the same education, paid the same
stamp duties, and even was entitled to be heard, and his
position recognized in the highest tribunal of all, the
court of ultimate resort—the appellate jurisdiction of
the House of Lords ; neither could the most learned
licentiate of the College of Physicians or Sur-
geons in Ireland legally practise the healing
art on this side of St. George's Channel.
Away, then, with these absurd distinctions at once.
No longer seek to perpetuate the causes that lead
to divisions and heartburnings in both nations, and
prevent the inhabitants from considering that they
are the same people, owing allegiance to the same
SOVEREIGN, and that their interests are one and in-
divisible. Remove with all convenient speed every
existing barrier to a complete and thorough union.
And, first, let the administration of state affairs, and
of the laws of the land be closely assimilated. Abo-
ish the Lord-Lieutenancy, and let the Bars be amal-
gamated. The Bill for the former purpose stands
for Committee this evening, and we trust that a
clause may be added to remove the objection so
strongly urged by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY on
Thursday evening.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday closed
firmly and with more spirit. Prices of all kinds were
fully sustained. The sales were estimated at 10,000
bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export
and 2.000 ~n speculation.—ln Railway Shares only a
limited business was done at decidedly lower prices.
The Corn trade is steady. _ .

We are advised from Nfunehester by Messrs. M'Nair,

Greenhow, and Irving, that any mat4ial extent of busi-
ness is but seldom expected to result from Joan. which
being what is termed •' between seasons," it is generally
a period noted for much inactivity. Outwardly so a
considerable portion of the closing month has realised its
ordinary character. The transactions of the period,
however, have only been exceeded once since 1845, and
that was exactly twelve months ago. During the past
week of the month so sensitive has this market now Be-

cessarily b. come, while the demand for cotton gas
pretty animated and general, and when prices of both
cloth and yarns maintained comparative firmile,s, a con-
siderable amount of business was done in each. Imme-
diately upon the cotton market becoming quieter, and a
decline in value taking place, a corresponding feeling
here became perceptib!e, and led to an important cur-
tailment of the demand, which continued with increased
unwillingness on the part of buyers to operate except f,,r
pteasinz wants, until the arrival of the As,a, on
the 22d, bringing more unfavourable accounts as
to the growing crops of cotton, and additional
confirmatory news as to the falling off of the receipts
at the ports of the United States. The cessation of the
demand was attended, it need hardly he remarked, with
a decline in the value of both cloth and twist. Since
this day week, with the revival of demand fur cotton,
and the recovery of what it had lost in value, con-
siderable activity and animation have characterized this
market. The purchases of both cloth and twist, which
may be said to have recovered generally the decline
from the rates prevalent previous to the depression;
have been very extensive, and the result is as previously
indicated.
The accounts received by the steamer from New
York, state that the supply of sterling bills was not large,
and that drawers were firm, the demand being active.
Financial matters appear to be sound, and there was not
much speculation going on, although an anxiety prevailed
to do business. Trade with the interior had been good,
although the prices obtained were not always satisfac-
tory. The value of the foreign dry goods entered at
New York, for consumption in the week, to the 19th ult.,
was 703,539 dollars, and fur warehousing, &c., 257,136
dollars. The accounts from the west concerning the
crops were not altogether favourable; but it was too
early to form an opinion.
The Trent steamer will bring over nearly two mil-

lions of dollars in specie.
Accounts of June 8 have been received from Jamaica
by way of the United States. The intelligence of the
invasion of Cuba had been received there and caused
some sensation.

The Nona Scotian, alluding to the Government
of New Brunswick having declined to send ate
thorised delegates to Washington, for the put pose o
advocating the interests of that province in the Pend.
ing negotiations, says that the several provinces are
interdicted from adopting that course, the British
Government having left the whole matter in the hands
of Sir Henry Bulwer, who is alone authorised to treat
upon the subject. Of course our contemporary says
there is nothing in existing arrangements to prevent per-
sons from the provinces using their influence at Wash-
ington, in order, if possible, to secure the advantages
resulting from reciprocal trade with the Americans. We
have already mentioned that the Attorney-General of
New Brunswick, and the Hon. Mr. Chandler have pro-
ceeded to Washington to look after the interests of that
province. We now learn that the Hon. William
Young, Speaker of the Assembly of Nova Scotia, has
also gone thither on a similar errand for the latter
colony.
Papers have been received from Port Natal to the end
of April. Emigrants were arriving in considerable
numbers, but they are dissatisfied with the Government
allowance of land. Correspondence had taken place
between them and the Government, complaining of the
quality and quantity of the land appropriated to them;
end in the end the local Government gave the emigrants
forty-five acres instead of twenty. The emigrants who
arrived after this arrangement looked for the same
bounty, which in justice cannot be withheld. From the
correspondence, it would appear that the greatest har-
mony does not exist with Use emigration agent and the
Government, by which the emigrant is made to suffer.
All the shipping had been enabled to discharge their
cargo and passengers. There appears to be a great
deal of activity consequent upon the arrival of so many
emigrants.

extraordinary session on the 20th May. The most im •

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Letters from the leadin4 provincial markets held on
Saturday state that a moderate busiues .as transacted
in Wheat, at full prices. Grinding Barley, Oats, and
Flour, were in somewhat improved request. In all other
articles very little business was passii,g.
Our advices from New Ynrk to the 23d ult. are to th.-
effeet that large purchases of Wheat and Flour had tak-n
place for home consumption. For export next to no-
thing do;n7„. 150,000 bushels of ludiau Corn Lad sold at
64 to 72 cents. per bushel.
Up to our market last week, coastwise, the receipts of
all Eugll4l Gram were small. Those from Scotland
were limited. From abroad we received 23,060 quarters
of Whew, 4.257 di!to airley, 25.172 ditto of Oats, 899
ditto of Bean-4, 1.156 ditto of Pea-, 8 ditto of •L'arei.
50 ditto of Linseed, 3,174 ditto of Rape,eed. 37 ditto of
Mustard Seed, 40 ditto of sundry seeds, '2,978 sucks and
240 bushels of Flour.

From Essex a very moderate supply of Wheat was
received fresh up to this ni9rnirig's ma, ket coastwise or
by land carrisge. The receipts nun Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., were small, but of lull averegv quality. As
scarcely any of last week's qualities were brought for-
ward, the show of samples of both red end white was
trifling, even for the time cf year. Notwithstanding
that the attendance of both town and country buyers
was small, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce.ruled steady, and a good cleat anee was effected,
at prices quite equal to those obtained on this day
se'nnigbt. Very favourable accounts have reached us
from our large grain districts respecting the general ap-
pearance of the growing crops. Offers are still coming
to hand from the eastern ports to ship largely at' present
prices.
Although the imports of foreign Wheat last week were
extensive, and we undestand that shipments are pro-
gressing freely at Dantzic, the importers of that grain
were firm to-day. The amount of business doing was
not large; nevertheless, the quotations were well sup-
ported. About 4.000 quarters have been imported on
account of the millers; however, the quantity on offer
thia morning was not to say large. Scarcely a single
parcel of home-grown Barley was brought forward.
'The supply of foreign was tolerably good. Grinding
parcels were in fair request, at full currencies, but malt-
ing and distilling sorts were a dull sale. Malt—the
supply of which was very moderate—met a slow inquiry;
but we have no change to notice in its value.
Scarcely any English Oats were on show; but the quan-
tity of foreign was large. All kinds commanded very
little attention, a', prices barely equal to those obtained
last week. Beans. met a slow trade, owing to the in-
creasing supplies from abroad. The supply of Peas was
limited. All kinds moved off slowly, et late rates. In-
dian Corn was offering at is per quarter less
,money,
without finding buyers. The Flour trade was steady, at
late figures.

About 1,200 hial have barn landed from France and
llolland at the outports. The arrivals of stock from
Ireland, last week, by sea for this market, were 3S Oxen,
56 Sheep, and 42 Ca,ves, in full average condition. The
numbers of Foreign Beasts on offer here, to-day, were
tolerably good—those of Sheep and Calves somewhat
extensive. There was a considerable decrease in the
receipts of home-fed Beasts fresh up to this morning's
market, while their quality was by no means first-rate.
The dead markets being very scantily supplied, and the
attendance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade
ruled. steady, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per
Sibs. The primvst Scots produced 3s 6d to 3s 8d per
albs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire
we received 2.020 Scots, Home-breds, and Short-horns;
from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds;
and from Scotland 120 Horned and Polled Scots.
The supply of Sheep was considerably less than that
exhibite ion this day se'nnight. All breeds moved off
steadily, and the currencies improved fully 2d per 81bs,
the primest old Downs having sold at from 33 10d to 4s
par Sibs. We were fairly supplied with Lambs, in
which an average business was transacted at fell prices.
the sale for Cslves was by no means active. In prices
we have no change to notice. For Pigs the inquiry was
heavy at almost nominal quotations. •
