their faults the elements of good preponderate in
their character—were they but treated with proper
consideration and courtesy by their superiors ; but in
far too many cases their only portion is neglect ; those
who should keep a kindly and watchful eye over their
interests, never trouble their heads about the matter ;
and the consequence is that feelings of bitter discon-
tent, all the deeper from being stifled, are slowly but
surely engendered in the minds of the peasantry, and
in this situation, their reason perverted by their pas-
sions, they fall an easy prey to the inflammatory arts
of designing demagogues, who prevail on them to
espouse the wild principles of the Charter as being
the readiest means by which they may work out their
own redemption, and bring their negligent superiors
to something like a sense of justice and consideration.
It is the fashion now-a-days to attribute all the vices
of the lower orders to their poverty, and many touch-
ing, clap-trap speeches, are annually made in Parlia-
ment on this tempting theme ; but it is not so much
their poverty—for poor they have always been, and
poor in the very nature of things they must still con-
tinue to be—that is the cause of their present sullen-
ness and dissatisfaction, as the aristocratic hauteur
with which they are far too often treated by those
who should know better than to indulge in such ab-
surd airs of superiority, which are the unerring indi-
cations of a petty and narrow mind. Treat the poor and
the lowly with kindness and forbearance; take a direct
personal interest in their humble wants and wishes ;
sympathise in their mirth, and be a friend to them in
their sorrows ; exchange the haughty glance for the
winning smile of courtesy ;—in a word, convince
them by acts, as well as words, that you feel that
they, like yourself, belong to the great family of
human nature ;—pursue this course of conduct to-
wards the lower orders, and you will do more to re-
concile them to their position, elevate them in the
social scale, and imbue them with principles of order
and subordination, than if you were to remit
taxes by the score, and surrender to them uncondition-
ally the entire five points of the Charter. Poverty may
be borne, and borne too, without a murmur, for it is
the lot of the majority of every kingdom in the
world ; but it is difficult—a proyd and generous mind
finds it impossible—to bear unrepiningly the con-
tempt, indifference, and supercilious exclusiveness of
those who are placed in authority over us from no
merit of their own, but merely by the accidents of
birth and luck

Though quiet and apparently inactive, the Irish
Repeal agitators are evidently on the alert, watching
the progress of events, and omitting no opportunitz
that may present itself, of furthering their darling
scheme of domestic legislation. O'Cornssnes ready;
intelligent, and energetic spirit influences all their
proceedings, and presides over all their discussions,
though the man himself is safe lodged within
the four walls of the Richmond Penitentiary.
At the last weekly meeting, for instance, of
the Dublin Repeal Association, a motion was
made and agreed to, having for its ob-
ject the extension of Repeal Reading rooms
throughout the country. This motion, which from
its ingenious character, would seem to have been
suggested by the Liberator, will, if carried fully into
effect, give a greater impetus to the cause than even
the monster-meetings; there will to be sure be less
noisy demonstrations, and the results will not be so
immediately perceptible; but not one of the proposed
Reading-rooms but will become a school of quiet, de-
termined agitation, where men will be in the constant
habit of resorting, to read all that may be written
from time to time on the subject of the Repeal
crotchet, to debate the question with each other,
and confirm each other's convictions. It will
he impossible for any authority, no matter
how stern and arbitrary it may be, to
interfere with a pacific system of agitation like this.
Power will be deprived of every pretext for interposi•
tion, and thus the evil—for the continuous, systematic
agitation of Repeal is an evil—will run its course un-
checked, assuming daily a more alarming aspect.
How much of this might have been avoided, had Sir
ROBERT PEEL but taken a hint from experience, and

learned the valuable lesson to be wise at the fitting
season ! There was a time—and that not so long
since—when the slightest show of conciliation,
if worthily followed up by acts, would have all but
neutralised the Rep6al question, and caused it
to be regarded by the majority of thinking people on
both sides the channel as the mere clamour of a
faction, instead of the stern demand of a nation. But
Ministers hesitated, and tampered, and dallied with
their obvious duty, keeping the mind of Ireland in a
constant state of ferment; and now, at the eleventh
hour, they have thrown out a hint—for as yet it is
nothing more—that next session they will be pre-
pared with some remedial educational measure
that they hope and trust—sanguine creatures!
—will go far to pacify the sister country.
We congratulate them on their tardy demonstration
of good-will towards Ireland, but we are by no
means confident as to the results. They have de.
laved conciliation so long, that it has already lost
half its grace, and whatever remedy they propose
will, we fear, be accepted as a boon wrung from their
apprehensions and necessities, rather- than cheerfully
accorded from their own kindly feelings. At any
rate, however, the experiment is worth making, and
we most devoutly hope that we may be mistaken it
our doubts of the issue. And here, while on the
subject of Repeal, we may observe that the Association
has just issued an Address to her MAJESTY, in which
occur the following remarks :—" In the British Par-
liament Irish interests are neglected, Irish feelings
find no sympathy, Irish opinion possesses no weight;
and the fruit of British legislation for Ireland has
been the prostration of all those resources, moral and
material, which can give dignity, prosperity, and
contentment, to a nation." The experience of the
four last Parliamentary sessions proves that there is
too much truth in these observations, for during
all that period—though the fruitful subject of her
undeniable grievances has been often discussed and
deplored with sincerity by the Whigs, with hollow
mockery by the Tories—what real, substantial, com-
prehensive boon has been conferred on Ireland ? All
that she has yet obtained from Government has been
an Arms Bill, of a more stringent and insulting
character than ever, together with a formal declara-
tion that her bloated sinecure Church Establishment
stands in need of no Reform, and shall receive none !
The conclusion of the Association's Address to
the QUEEN—which we may state, by-the-bye, is
penned in a temperate, though energetic, strain—
is not a little curious, for her Majesty is ac-
tually implored to assist the endeavours of the
agitators " in obtaining a repeal of the Act of Union,"
notwithstanding that she has twice denounced the
project from the Throne, and deliberately and reso-
lutely expressed her determination never, under any
circumstances to consent to it ! It is a bright and
truly original conception, this supplication to the
QUEEN, that she will be kind enough to falsify
her pledge, eat up her own words, forswear her prin-
ciples, and turn Repealer

Government has just received news from Mr. HAY.
The EMPEROR, he states, has granted to France and
Spain the just satisfaction which they have demanded.
Mr. ray is expected at Tangiers to-morrow evening.
The French fleet is at this moment preparing to sail
from Tangiers for Gibraltar." This intelligence had
afforded great satisfaction to the friends of peace, as
the return of the French fleet from Tangiers led to
the belief that the Emperor of Morocco had accepted
the ultimatum of the Government. Other parties,
however, take a different view, and believe that the
dilatory conduct of the Moorish Government and its
inability to restrain or expel ABLI.-EL•KADER will
lead still to serious consequences. Another
cause of uneasiness has arisen from the departure of
three ships of the line from Toulon, mentioned yes-
terday. It was generally believed their destination
was Tangiers, but it appears from a Government
paper, the Globe, that Admiral PARSEVAL, who com-
mands the squadron, has been ordered to direct his
course to Tunis to watch the movements of a Turkish
fleet, consisting of seven ships of the line and four
frigates. According to this authority the French are
resolved to protect Tunis. The Toulonnais of the
Bth also states that the Marengo, a ship of the line,
had received orders to join the squadron, and that its
destination was the coast of Tunis. What with the
affair of Morocco, the restless ADB-EL-KADER, and
this new cause of quarrel, the French have quite
enough on their hands in the Mediterranean. The
following is the article in the Globe referred to :
" It is possible that by this time a second division of
the French fleet is giving as honourable an example of
firmness as that under the Prince de Joinville. The
journals some time since mentioned that a Turkish fleet
had left the Dardanelles on a cruise, but since that time
they have been lost sight of. This fleet, composed of
seven sail of the line and four frigates, it appears, had
made their appearance on the coast of Syria. When
there, the Capitan Pacha summoned all the pilots on
board his vessel, and inquired in what time they could
take his fleet before Tunis, and on what points of that
coast it would be possible to effect a landing of troops.
A short time after this consultation the fleet left the
coast of Syria, bearing away to the westward. The
Porte has for a long time entertained a wish to dispos-
sess the Bey of Tunis, and to substitute for that inde-
pendent sovereignty a Pacha appointed from Constanti-
nople. France, on her side, has loudly expressed her
intention to support the Bey of Tunis, and to prevent
Turkey from establishing herself on the frontiers of
Algeria. Hitherto the Porte has never dared to carry
her plans into execution, but may at length have decided
on it, thinking to take advantage of our dispute with
Morocco. If such has been the idea of Turkey, she will
again have reckoned without her host. The French
Government, informed by telegraph of the departure of
the Turkish fleet from the coast of Syria, sent orders for
four ships of the line to sail from Toulon, under the
command of Admiral Parseval-DeschOnes, to cruise be-
fore Tunis, and await the arrival of the Turkish squa-
dron. The instructions given to the Admiral are in con,
fortuity with the constant policy of France; she will op-
pose the lananig of any Turkish troops, and any attempt
of the Capitan ?ache against the Bey of Tunis. In the
event of the Turkish fleet making its appearance there,
the French Admiral is ordered to make known his in-
structions to the Capitan Pacha; to order him to keep
off from the coast; and, if he refuses, to bring him to ac-
tion immediately. This may probably turn out to be a
false alarm; but should it be so, France will not the less
have been at the post marked out for her by her policy;
and should the Capitan Pacha attempt to carry into ef.
feet the long-entertained idea of the Porte with regard to
Tunis, we doubt not that Admiral Parseval will do ho-
nour to the French name, although he has only four sail
of the line against seven and four frigates."
The same journal contains a few remarks relative
to the empire of Morocco, and the importance of
its integrity to England. " The position of Eng-
land," it says, " was a very difficult one, and that it
required, in the first place, all the justice which was
on the side of France, and afterwards all the confi-
dence of the British Government in the good faith of
ours, to satisfy it either with the part we played in
the game, or the part England herself played. Mo-
rocco is evidently the dependent of England, who
maintains and protects it. England can only hold
Gibraltar as long as no great power has possession of
the coast of Morocco and Tangiers. Place French
cannon on the African coast of the straits, and ti`iie
importance of Gibraltar will diminish one-half.
England is, therefore, obliged to maintain the Islam-
ism of Tangiers, in order not to have France there,
as she is obliged to maintain Constantinople, in order
to prevent Russia from taking it."

The French Funds were rather more firm on
Monday.

FALMOUTH, AUGUST 3.—By the Danish schooner
Odin, Captain Engers, we have advices from Buenos
Ayres of June 13. The highest rate of exchange
upon England ruled at 3 13-16 pence; the lowest 31
pence. Doubloons 221 dollars. Exchange on France
39 to 40. Ox hides for England and Germany, 555.
to 565. per pesada ; salted ditto, 38s. to 50s. ; calf
skins, 445. to 455, There were 61 vessels in port, 16
of which were British ; one half were loading for
England. This arrival brings no news of importance.
This morning the barque Esk, of Liverpool, arrived
from Bahia with advices to the Ist of July; but they
are destitute of interest.

PRINCB WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA.—His Royal High-
ness landed at Woolwich last evening, between eight
and nine o'clock. He proceeded almost immediately to
town, and stopped for the night at the Prussian Lega-
tion, in Carlton-terrace. The Prince proceeded this
morning to Windsor Castle, accompanied by the Cheva-
lier Bunsen. His Royal Highness from thence will pro-
ceed to Bushy Park, to visit her Majesty the Queen
Dowager. The Prince will afterwards proceed to Kew,
and will visit the other members of the Royal Family.
A sumptuous banquet, to be fullowed by a brilliant
evening entertainment, will be given at the Prussian
Legation on Friday next, in honour of the arrival of his
Royal Highness. Their Royal -Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester,
the Grand Duke and Ductless of .Mecklenburgh Strelitz,
and several of the most distinguished members of the
aristocracy have also received invitations for this enter-
tainment.

We have received Madrid journals of the 6th
instant. If we are to believe a Government paper,
the Heraldo, a most extensive and dangerous plot was
on the eve of breaking out when the arrests took
place in the capital, and at Barcelona. It infers that
the prime instigators an ESPARTERO and OLOZAGA.
" There is no deceiving ourse'ves about it," says that
paper, "if we believe the information received from
all parts of Spain, and, especially from foreign coun-
tries, the plot which has just failed at Madrid had
most extensive ramifications, and was but a part of a
general plan, at the head of which was a pernicious
personage, whom the blindness of his friends
pretended to raise to the highest station. That
personage, august among his adherents, and, asso-
ciated, after protracted negotiation with his most
inveterate enemy, directed these revolutionary at-
tempts, and was preparing to bring on the horrors of
another war—a project in which he was supported by
his alliance with other unlawful interests, as well as
by
ythe
actived wioperation and abundant money both
within and without Spain." Senor MADOZ, dis-
gusted with the state of affairs in his native country,
had left Madrid on his way to Paris.
Accounts from Barcelona announce the arrival at
that place of the Duke n R 1 RE S t

Father GONZALES, late Confessor o Queen

The Three per Cents. were done at 28 to 28i for
cash, and 284 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ADEN.--" On the 4th
(July), at 10 P.M., a succession of blue lights and rockets
announced the approach of the Hindostan, with the Go-
vernor-General on board. She was soon after in the
harbour, when a party of us went ori board with offers
of bed and board.' We are all to be in full fig' by
the Turkish wall at four A.M., to-morrow, for the in-
spection of the works, with which the Governor-General
already appears to be as well acquainted as any one
amongst us. It will be a very good thing for Aden, as
the present uncertain limits of the cantonment prevent
the merchants and others from building. The ex-Go-
vernor is expected in a few days, so we shall have an
opportunity of basking in the rays of the setting as well
as those of the rising sun. We are buttoned up to the
chins, and the thermometer stands at 105 in the shade."
INTERESTING TRAIT OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. —We
extract the following paragraph, relating to his Majesty
Louis Philippe, from the Voss Gazette, a Swedish
journal :—" On the 2d Vice-Consul Burk celebrated the
82d anniversary of his birthday. On the same day he
received a letter from the King of the French. written
with his own hand, accompany a gold medal, bearing on
one. side the profile of bis Majesty, and on the other
the following inscription Given by King Louis
Philippe to M. C. Burk, as a memorial of the hos-
pitality received at Hammerfest, in August, 1795." The
letter, which was dated at Neuilly, Juno 6th, is in these
terms It is always agreeable to me to find that the
traveller Muller has not been forgotten in a country
which he visited in simple guise, and unknown ; and I
always recal with pleasure this journey to my mind.
Among my recollections, I give the first place to the hos-
pitality so frankly and cordially granted me, a stranger,
throughout Norway, and particularly in Norland and
Finmark ; and at this moment, when a lapse of 49 years
since I made this journey into Norway has left me but
few of my old hosts remaining, it is gratifying to me to
be able to express to all, in your person, what grateful
feelings I still entertain."
BAPTISM EXTRAORDINARY.—At Saint Mary's
Church, Bryanston-square, St. Marylebone, on Tuesday
morning, were baptised, by the Rev. Dr. Dibdin, Rector,
three children, the progeny of the same mother (Mrs.
Hodges, the wife of Mr. Edward Hodges, licensed vic-
tualler, Circus-street, New-read), at the same accouche-
ment, under the names of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
all being remarkably fine children, and doing well.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The earn-
ings for the week ending the 3d instant, show an in-

corresponding week of 1843.—The number of passengers
who travelled on the line daring the week is gi▪

throughout the day the wickets were not pitched.
