informs us of a fact which we had forgotten—that we
first attracted notice to the situation of, the perishing
Irish in 1822. Oh 1 that the voters of extravagant
mitimates--4S salaries of 50001. a year to old offices
,:that were not thought worth a salary—would reflect for
one moment upon the lot of those who are perishing
with want, and cannot plead for themselves ! They,
would pardon our earnestness, both now and in the
year 1822, for sUffering humanity!

We observe in some of the Continental Papers that
attempts are making to bring into notice the different
branches of the Buonaparte -family, and to recommend
them to' popular admiration. The other-day,we were
told that Napoleon's son sraciously.asked after his
good people .of Paris. If this be true, the little
rascal ought to have been well flogged for
pertinence. Next we are told that Wind B‘irghese
intly perhaps' deign to accept the invitation, of the
yppe, and come to visit Rome. , This poor crea-
, cure (the descendant of a princely Roman family)
degraded himself by seeking first to be made a
eiticen of the' French Republic, then a Duke of
Buonaparte's, creation, and lastly by marrying the no-
- ':torfotis Pauline I,luonaparte. Lastly, we are told that
Laois and. Jerome Buonaparte are great favoUrites
with the people .K .Rome for their liberality. We
should like to know with whose money they are so
liberat? They were .barn beggars,: and have only
been 'e.nriehed by, their' lirother's robberies. It was
eqUally impolitic and = unjust' in' the Contiaental
Sayereigne,-..when they :bad 'dethroned Napoleon
Bdadaparte, to silo* his relations 'to retain any of
the fruits of his crimes. We speak not with any pr&.
judico against the men themselves. Jerome indeed
was Worthle,gs enough ; but Louis deserved great credit
for his conduct in llolland. His, personal merits may
well entitle him to respect ; but as a member. of the
::nfatrious ~famijy of Buonaparte, even he would do
AA to withdraw himself as much as possible from

last night on the subject of the Corn Laws. In'the
