I
of Parliament for the abolition of the office of Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland. The Noble Lord rests his
opposition to this just and salutary measure on three
distinct grounds, each of which will be embodied in
a separate resolution. He first contends that the
abolition of the office is "contrary to the expecta-
tions held out by the statesmen who carried the
legislative union between the two countries,
and who declared that though her Parliament
was removed, Ireland should still retain
her Court." In other words, the Noble Marquis
desires that it should be considered that the main-
tenance of the office in perpetuity formed part of the
solemn compact entered into between the two Par-
liaments at the period when the federal treaty was
concluded. The Noble Marquis ought to be well
acquainted with the views and opinions entertained
by the chief actor in the transaction, the Minister
under whose auspices the union was accomplished.
On such points his authority is very high indeed,
and we are fully convinced that he is incapable
of stating anything, of the accuracy of which he is not
fully convinced. But, although we gladly render this
justice to his Lordship's character for honour and
veracity, and also as to his sources of information, we
must venture to remind him that the letter from his
late Majesty GEORGE 111., written to his Prime
Minister at the time the measure was in contempla-
tion, and read by Lord JOHN RUSSELL
when bringing the present Bill before the
House, clearly and distinctly proved that
although the office might be retained for a time, its
abolition at some future and more fitting opportunity
was even then decided on, a fact of which a Minister
charged with so important a duty as the then Lord
CASTLEREAGH must have been fully cognisant.

If it was then considered that the retention of
the tinsel pageantry of the mock Court was
essential to the welfare and prosperity of
Ireland, or even of its metropolis, a clause
would have been inserted in the Act—we
should, perhaps, more correctly have termed it
an " article in the treaty," making adequate
provision therefore. It was one of the very rare
cases in which an existing Parliament could bind its
successors, and sanction enactments that could not
unanimous
approbation be repealed, save with the
approbation of both countries. Had it been at that
time considered a matter of such vital importance,
the stipulation would unquestionably have been
made, and placed upon such a foundation as
to render it beyond the possibility of doubt or
controversy ; and the absence of any express
enactment on the subject, and that at a time when
so many stringent provisions were carried, proved,
beyond the possibility of doubt, that it was con-
sidered a matter of comparative indifference, which
might safely be left to the wisdom of future Parlia-
ments to decide on. Lord CASTLEREAGH might have
stated that there was no intention to take away the
Viceregal Court ; but if such a statement were made
it must clearly have had reference to existing circum-
stances, and could not by any possibility be tortured
into a pledge that it should be continued throughout
all ages, even after every pretext for its necessity or
utility had departed. We have already stated that
there might be some advantages derived from the pre-
sence in Ireland of a nobleman representing the SO-
VEREIGN, and armed with considerable power and
authority, at a time when no communication
could be made from the English to the Irish metro-
polis, or vice versa, in less than three days, or under
unfavourable circumstances, such as might easily
occur in even double that time, but that argument is
completely removed when we consider that the
journey may now be performed in less than twelve
hours, or, in case of emergency, intelligence
received in less than four hours. It
might as reasonably be contended that we
should refuse to avail ourselves of railways,
steam-packets, and electric telegraph, as that we
should obstinately reject the advantages that naturally
follow from their adoption. The next resolution
relates to the time at which the change is to be
effected, which, it is contended, is most inauspicious,
when the depressed condition of the country
is taken into consideration ; but surely that
is the very reason why the change should
now be made. A. physician does not withhold
his remedies until his patient has fully recovered—it
is at the time when the disease is at the height that
he directs the course most likely to improve the sick
man's health and restore him to convalescence.
The last resolution relates to the establishments and
population of Dublin, which, according to Lord
LONDONDERRY, entitle it to a resident Lord-Lieute-
nant; but we must confess that, admitting to the
fullest extent the natural advantages of the Irish
capital, we cannot see that they afford any reasons for
the maintenance of a useless office which do not
equally apply to Edinburgh and to every other
town with more than a quarter of a million of in-
habitants. They might possibly form good argu-
ments for the repeal of the legislative union, but
none against the measure intended to connect more
closely and consolidate the bonds by which they are
connected, and to render them indeed " an United
Kingdom" in the most extensive signification of the
term.

The patrons of pestilence, the delighters in dirt, the

sniffers of" ancient" smells, the sovereigns of Smith-
field in short, have received " a heavy blow and a
great discouragement." The Commissioners ap-
pointed to make inquiries relating to Smithfield
market have made their report, and five of them, viz.,
Mr. George Cornewall Lewis, Sir H. Verney,
Mr. William Miles, Mr. Richard 0 wen, and Mr.
Frederick Byng have reported that " it would be ad-
visable to remove the market for live stock
from its present site, not to some other site
immediately adjoining, but to a site de-

tacked from the central portion of the
metropolis." As might have been expected,
Sir JAMES Duics and Mr. JOHN WOOD, who were
the commissioners representing the City, have pro-
tested against this report ; but this was not sur-
prising, they were nominated in order that they
might protest, and they have performed their duty.
It is pleasant to observe that the tone of the up-
holders of the nuisance is completely changed ; instead
of, as heretofore, contending for the salubrity of
Smithfield, and the ample accommodation it affords,
they are now compelled to admit the
truth of all the charges %Itch have been brought
against this, to them, most profitable nuisance,
but then they suggest, meekly and humbly suggest,
that " all inconveniences would be obviated by an
enlargement of the site of the market amply adequate
to its requirements—such an enlargement as has been
proposed by the Markets' Improvement Committee of
the Corporation." This is certainly one of the most
extraordinary modes of abating a nuisance that was
ever proposed, and the Corporation of London must
have had a very poor opinion indeed of the perspi-
cacity of the Commissioners when they ventured to
commend such a proposition to their attention. The
complaint is that the existence of a live cattle-
market in the centre of a crowded metropolis
is a nuisance. " Granted," say the Members of the
Corporation, " but only double the extent of the nui-
sance—let it extend over 13 acres instead of over 6
acres and 15 poles, and it ceases to be a nuisance at
all." Such is the sole argument which the ingenuity
of the advocates of Smithfield can devise for its con-
tinuance—an argument which needs only be stated in
order to demonstrate its utter absurdity. The doom
of Smithfield is, we take it for granted, at length
sealed.

At length the Beard of Health has made its report
on the supply of water to the metropolis. The docu-
ment is of great length, and the Board state, as the
result of their inquiries, that the water supplied to
the metropolis is inferior to the average quality of
water supplied to towns ; that the water taken by the
Lambeth Company from the Thames opposite Hun-
gerford Market is charged with animal and vegetable
impurities, apparently the effect of the discharge of
sewer water, which renders it wholly unfit for use,
and highly dangerous to the health of the persons who
drink it ; that from the inferiority of the water and
its pollution, a large proportion of the population
is rendered averse to its u.e as a bevel.-
age. The Beard also complain of the inter-
mittent supply, which renders the retention

rivers, the water of which is hard, as sources of sup-
ply ; the consolidation of the management of the
water supply with that of the drainage under one and
the same administrative body, and the confiding the
preparation and superintendence of the required
works to a few competent and responsible officers,
of whom a certain proportion should be paid, giving
their whole time and attention to the subject—the
whole of the works to be oarried into execution by
contract upon open tenders. They conclude by
stating that the proper execution of the works will
be best guaranteed, and the interests of the poorest
classes of the population best guarded by the direct
control of Parliament.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris j ournals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
The Electoral Bill having passed, it is officially
announced that the negotiation for bringing about a
reconciliation between the two branches of the House
of Bourbon has failed. No one is surprised at this
announcement, the Orleanists always intended it
should fail so soon as the electoral law was passed.
M. TRIERS having used MM. BERRYER
and VATI.ZMENIL as his catspaws to draw the ches-
nuts from the fire, now leaves them, and laughs at
his dupes, the Legitimatists, against whom, as M. DE
LA. ROCHEJACQUELIN plainly perceived, the electoral
law was really directed to the full as much as against
the Socialists.

On Saturday, the Electoral Bill having been passed
on Friday, M. LEON FAUCHER presented a report
on the petitions presented on that subject : 2,418
persons spread over fifteen Departments, had
petitioned in favour of the Bill, while 5 27,000
persons only, had petitioned against it, and M LEON
FAUCHER hinted that it was possible that prosecutions
might be commenced against the signers of these
petitions. M. LEON FAUCHER is just the sort of
man to sit on the safety-valve of a steam-engine,
because its click annoyed him.
The Republique notices the passing of the Bill as
follows :

" To-day, the 31st May, the 57th anniversary of the
revolution which overthrew the Girondists, 413 repre-
sentatives to 241 voted a law which will deprive 6,000 000
of citizens of their right of voting. This resolution
will forin an epoch in the history of France. This
vote is a serious one, particularly for the Government.
and for the majority of the Assembly. As to us, who
have always protested against the principle and the
details of this law, and as to the 6.000,000 of dis-
franchised citizens, the vote cannot have any serious
effect until 1852. Between the present time and that
epoch we doubt not that events—the drawing up of the
lists and the cry of public opinion—will enlighten even
the members of the majority. Until then, the law just
voted is only a declaration of intention, intention without
material effect except in some partial elections. In the
meantime, the part of the Republicans is to exercise on
oppressed opinion all the influence which it can obtain
in the state of legality in which we are at present placed.
Soon, and at the latest in 1851, they must claim, by
means of petition, the abrogation of that law of which
petitions could not prevent the adoption. The Republi-
cans, even those who have been called the vile multitude,
will be to-morrow what they were yesterday. Let the
people, then, preserve the dignity and the calmness
which they have hitherto shown; democracy every day
makes fresh progress in Paris and in the departments."
Orders have been given to prosecute the Evenement
and the Siecte.

Intelligence has been received from Algiers of the
death of General DE BARRAL from a wound received
in a skirmish with the Kabyles.

There was no business transacted in the passage of
the Opera to-day, the speculators waiting for the set-
tlement of the last account. It is feared that the
great fluctuations in the price of Government stock
which have occurred during the last 15 days will
have occasioned some failures.

Flour advanced 25 cents.
Freights on cotton to Liverpool were slightly better.
A tremenduous storm occurred on the 13th. Corn sold
at 65 to 72 cents.

Freghts—Shipping adapted for sugar freight is
abundant. A large number of vessels were chartered,
mostly at 21. 2s. 6d. for Cowes and near ports, with
the usual additions, and some at 2/. 4s. and 2/. ss.
A vessel of 2,400 boxes was taken up at

having particular reasons for preferring that destination.
At present lower rates would:be accepted for Cowes, and
we quote at 21. and 2Z 2;. 6d. for Cowes and a market ;
extra-sized vessels would probably adopt still less.
Vessels suited for the molasses trade name and wanted.
MATANZA.S, MAY 7.—The sugar market is very lan-

flue yellow, 7; good lair, 6 to 6i; brown, 51 to si;
Cucurnclies, 41 to 5; Muscovado, 4i, 5/ to 6 per arroba.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which 4,500
were taken fcr export and on speculation. The market
was firm at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares a good
business was done at higher quotations.
The Corn Market is heavy to {lay with large imports
of Wheat.

In a report concerning the state of trade at Man-
chester, Messrs. McNair and Cc. state that—
" Prices now are exceedingly firm, with an exception
or two, and we have seldom or never known stocks of
either Yarns or Goods at this season of the year to be
so light. This is a fact of a very favourable import,
and one which indisposes many manufacturers and spin-
ners to enter into contracts of any magnitude, unless
satisfactory prices can be obtained. Amongst producers
a belief in the attainment of still higher rates is very
prevalent. One thing is much more certain than pro-
bable, and that is, that were an active and vigorous de-
mand to set in, an instantaneous advance would ensue
from the scarcity of both Goods and Yarns in first hands.
We may notice in connexion with the extent of busi.
ness done, that the aggregate amount has been mate-
rially increased by the existence of old contracts, for
India and China shirtings mainly, many of which are
still incomplete, and that the purchases during the month
have either been for actual wants, or made in appre-
hension of an immediate advance. The demand for the
country trade has, we are glad to state, been much more
extensive for goods, owing in some measure to the very
favourable change in the weather, which has already
liberated quantities of summer styles and fabrics. What-
ever may be the amount of distress existing in many of
the agricultural districts, and the effects produced here,
many of our friends appear to have overlooked, in con-
nexion with it, the consequences resulting from the se-
rious depreciation of railway property, which has natu-
rally much impaired the means of many, and more espe-
cially of those living upon fixed incomes."
This seems to us to be quite as good a solution of the
passing langour experienced as any allegation of distress
among the agriculturists.
The Banker's Magazine for the current month states,
in reviewing the condition of the Share market during
the last three weeks, that " the advance of prices in
some instances has been marked, and the amount of busi-
ness has been considerable. Whether or not the lowest
point has been reached and left behind, remains to be
seen. In the meantime we still repeat our old admoni-
tion, that real prosperity can only be restored by a strict
and persevering attention to details. Connected with
the subject of railways is the history of the Exchange
Banks, established in Scotland in 1845 and 1846, for
the purpose of making advances on railway property;
most of these banks' have failed. We observe that one
of the largest of them, ' The Commercial Exchange
Bank,' at Glasgow, held a meeting on the 22d for the
purpose of dissolving the company. The report of the
Investigation Committee describes a loss of 134,6701.
A very curious chapter of banking experience is to be
gathered from the failure of these concerns, and we may
endeavour on a future occasion to refer to it.

There are accounts from the West Indies per Great
Western to a late date, and in respect to the position of
the different colonies they are generally satisfactory. In
Jamaica, the weather was rather variable. There had been
fine rains in some parishes, but in other districts drought
prevailed. In Demerara also, the weather seemed to be
changeable, but at the latest date it was fair, and a
continuance of it would prove highly favourable. In
Barbadoes a large quantity of Sugar remained to be
shipped. The crop, on the whole, would fall short, it
was supposed.
Valparaiso accounts by this opportunity are dated
March 30. Trade was rather dull. Her Majesty's ship
Daedalus has on board 2,000,000 dollars.
The steamer from Halifax is also telegraphed, but we
have no advicea in town yet. The petition in favour of
Canadian independence is stated to have been received
in the Assembly by a large majority, but this indulgence
counts for little.
The Overland Mail brings intelligence of April 20
from Calcutta. In exports there was no alteration, and
imports were wanting in activity, although a little im-
provement was observable just before the packet left.
At Bombay money was very abundant, and imports
were dull.
Hemburgh letters of Friday last notice an active de-
mand for bills on London, and which were in much re-
quest. The rate was 13 Bi.
The English Funds have becn'rather fluctuating this
morning. After being 96i 1., Consols have been just done
at 96g. Tho New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 971 to and the Three per Cents. 95 1. The
Greek affair is alleged again as the cause, and probably
the extensive speculation for a rise induces parties ever
and anon to realise profits. Exchequer-bills have been
68s. to 71a. premium, and India Bonds 85s. to 86s.
premium. East India Stock has been at 268 to 269.
In the Foreign Market there have been but limited
transactions. Mexican Bonds have been buoyant at
31k to 1, and Grenada have risen to 171 the intelli-
gence being favourable. Peruvian Stock is firm at 76i
for the Active. Russian Scrip has been quoted 3 to
ai premium. Spanish Three per Cents. are 38. Bel.
gran Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 87 to
874, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents 561.
In Railway Shares there have been extensive deal-
ings, and there has been correspondingly a good deal of
fluctuation. The market decidedly buoyant.
