LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5' 1844,

No business of the slightest interest took place in
the Lords yesterday, and the House adjourned at an
early hour.

In the Commons, a new writ was ordered for the
borough of Enniskillen, in the room of the Hon
ARTHUR COLE, who has accepted th) Chiltern
Hundreds.

Mr. T. DUNcoMBE moved for a copy of the judg-
ment and the committal of Mr O'Coloima. And the
other State prisoners.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the shorthand writer had
not yet transcribed all his notes, but the documents
would be laid before the House with as little delay as
possible.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for a copy of a dis-
patch from the Earl of ABERDEEN to the Earl of
WESTMORELAND relative to commercial relations be-
tween England and Prussia.

GLADSTONE said he had no objection to the
production of the correspondence when it was brought
to a close. .

Lord J. RUSSELL then postponed his motion fcr a
fortnight.

Lory HARRY VANE moved for a Select Committee
to take Into consideration the Act passed in the sth
and 6th of the present reign, for increasing the duty
011 coals exported from this country, and showed very
satisfactorily the impolicy of the measure.
The easticELLou of the ExcaEctuza, however,
thought otherwise, and, after entering into lengthened
statistical details, said the present measure was work-
ing beneficially for the country,

Mr. IVAnauaroN opposed the motion, and thought
the Government would act wisely in maintaining the
present duty.
After a lengthened discussion, the motion for a
Select Committee was negatived by a majority of 36.

Mr. LTALL moved for a Select Committee to in-
quire into the state of our commercial marine. In
the course of the discussion to which this gave rise,
Mr. GLADSTONE stated that the arrangements as to
the Stade duties would come into operation in Octo-
ber next. The motion was agreed to. _

No other business of importance was transacted
and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock

Every day's experience tends more and more to
corroborate the " great fact" that the Tories—or
Conservatives as they now call themselves, though it
is their name only, not their nature that they have
changed—cannot govern Ireland. Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S "chief difficulty" becomes more embarrassing
and complicated with every twenty-four hours that
passes over his head. It is not yet quite a week since
sentence of imprisonment was passed on Mr. O'Cost-
WELL ; and 10, instead of the lethargy and gradual
dying out of the flame of Repeal, on which Ministers
seem to have so confidently calculated, the flame
burns fiercer than ever ; popular passions, compara-
tively dormant for some five or six months past,
are revived with more than their former virulence and
activity ; and the hatred of Tory rule, which in the
eyes of Irishmen is synonymous with Tory oppression,
is no longer confined to this or that district, but is
spreading like wild-fire throughout the sister country !
How stands the Repeal Rent, which is a pretty accu-
rate barometer of the feelings of the people ? For
the last week—that is to say, the week in which the
Liberator's imprisonment took place—the sum re-
ceived at the Conciliation Hall was not less than two
thousand five hundred and ninety-six pounds I No
proof of the declining popularity of the Repeal cause
here. The amount of Mr. O'CONNELI: s fine is ac-
tually paid in hard cash within seven days,
cheerfully and without a murmur, by the public
subscriptions of the poorest country in Europe !
Leaving this fact to have its due weight with the
reader, let us next consider the language held at the
last meeting of the Dublin Repealers. Here are the
sentiments of Mr. SMITH O'BRlEN—one of the most
intelligent and influential Irishmen of his day, and
second only to the Liberator in popularity—coolly
and deliberately spoken in presence of hundreds,
perhaps we ought rather to say thousands, of his ex-
cited countrymen :—" What would be the effect of
the events of the past week ? For his ewn part,
when he heard the sentence pronounced which con-
signed Mr. O'CONNELL to a gaol, he felt that the
doom of the Union was in those words. V estigia
nulla retrorsum, should be now their motto. The bridge
had been cut away behind them, and for the future no
man would dare to talk of any compromise. He conjured
the Roman Catholics of Ireland of all ranks to come
forward at the present juncture." There are no evi-
dences of shrinking here ! The language of the speaker
is not that of hesitation and despondency ; and if we
may judge from the immense number of public meet
ings that are announced to take place immediately
throughout the country, the sentiments held by Mr.
O'BRIEN are cordially responded to by the vast ma-
jority of Irishmen. Such are the first fruits of the
PEEL policy as regards Ireland ! Such the result
of three years of Tory legislation ! Never yet was so
fine an opportunity of regaining the affections of an
excitable, but generous-minded people so utterly—so
wantonly thrown away, as if in sheer contempt, as
has been done by the present Cabinet. When they
entered upon office in 1840 the game was in their
own hands, and they had only to play it fairly to
play it successfully. They had ample power, both
within and without the walls of Parliament, to enter
upon the great work of Irish pacification with
every prospect of a fortunate result. England
had not yet found cause to distrust them—
Ireland was willing to hope—and even the an-
tagonist Orange party had lost much of its old in-
fluence, and concurrently with this, much also of its
old bigotry and inveteracy of purpose. But Ministers,
with that strange hallucination which ever clings to
Toryism—no matter how mild and modified be the
form which it assumes—neglected one by one all the
advantages of their position. With the words of promise
continually on their lips, they did little or nothing for
Ireland. Session after session came and went, and
still found the acknowledged grievances of the sister-
country unredressed. In vain her claims were brought
forward in Parliament ; in vain Ministers were con-
jured by some of their own party—among others by
the Hon. and Gallant Member for 'Westminster—to
turn a considerate ear to the supplications of Ireland
—entreaties, remonstrances, menaces, all were alike
ineffectual ; and the only boon which Go-
vernment would condescend to bestow on the
sister-country, was that very equivocal, or rather
deeply insulting measure—an Irish Arms Bill

From the moment that this obnoxious measure be-
came law, Irishmen felt that the time for hope and
confidence was past, and that nothing was left for
them but to agitate a Repeal of the Union. How that
agitation progressed—how Government interfered—
and what were the results of that interference—

our readers know quite as well as ourselves; we
may assure them, however, that the end is not yet;
the " snake is scotched, not killed ;" and the day is
not far distant when Sir ROBERT PEEL, and those
who act with him, will deeply regret that, when the
golden opportunity was afforded them, they did not
pursue a more generous, enlarged, and conciliatory
system of policy towards Ireland. Meantime, we
may just notice, en passant, the notorious fact—so
humiliating to .Toryism—that though her MAJESTY
can visit Scotland, and every other part of her
dominions, and make sure of a kindly re-
ception even in the rival kingdom of France,
she cannot visit Ireland ; because were she to
do so, she would be sure to learn, at every step of her
progress through that country, how generally unpo-
pular were the men who have been her confidential
advisers for the last three years and upwards.

A handbill has been forwarded to us with the
heading " NICHOLAS of Russia in England ! ! !" and
announcing that a public meeting will be held on
Thursday, the 6th of June, in the National Hall,
High Holborn, for the purpose of ascertaining how
far the people of England are prepared to welcome to
their country the Russian EMPEROR. The rest of
the handbill is filled up with personal abuse of the
EMPEROR, and with a detailed list of all the cruelties
inflicted on the inhabitants of Poland. Against these
cruelties no journal has protested in stronger lan-
guage, or with more sincerity of purpose, than 77ie
Sun—and that fact the Poles in this country grate-
fully acknowledge. May we ask them and their
friends to grant us one favour in return, and that is,
to avoid everything like insult to the AUTOCRAT while
he is in a manner the guest of this great nation.
England is ever hospitable, and her people would be
the last in the world to heap abuse on a Sovereign
who had come among them, trusting to their gene:.
rous and open dispositions, and anxious, perhaps, to
improve himself by witnessing their free institutions.
We, therefore, trust that no hostile demonstration
will be made on the occasion, and that at all events
the friends of Poland will respect the feelings of our
gracious and beloved SOVEREIGN, who, under the pre-
sent peculiar circumstances, would be greatly dis-
tressed by any insult offered to her Royal Guest.

The Paris papers are much occupied with the visit
of the Emperor of RUSSIA to this country, and con-
tain almost every possible conjecture as to its object.
One states that he has come for amusement, and to
show himself off before the English people. Two of
them regard his object as purely political ; and a
fourth, the National, believes he has paid the compli-
ment to Queen VICTORIA solely to annoy LOUIS
Puturrz. "The CZAR," says the Siecle, can only
have gone to England to obtain personally a solution
of certain political questions, which it suits the Eng-
lish Cabinet to leave in a species of incertitude.
England wishes to preserve the power, when her in
terests make it desirable for her, to pass over to the
side of the absolute Governments against France ;
but she has no notion at present of entering into a
perpetual engagement with Russia ; for this would
compromise her freedom of action, and oblige her to
give up a portion of the benefits of the concessions
which she rends from our feeble Government. When
England proclaims her love of peace, we must thus
construe her declaration. England desires that Europe
may be divided into two camps, placing herself on
the flanks of each, and offering victory to whichever
may consent to buy it, by making the most positive

sacrifices to her. This is a fine position, and Sir R.
PEEL has no inclination to give it up in compliance
with the impetuous demands of the Emperor of
RUSSIA."

The Quotidienne gives the following solution :
" The state of European Turkey, the condition of
the Christians in the provinces bordering on the prin-
cipalities under the protection of the EMPEROR, the
movements of Russian troops in the South of the
Empire, and the need of coming to a direct under-
standing with the English Ministry on the part to
be taken by Russia in the solution of the grave ques-
tions which may arise, are quite enough to impute a
serious motive to the journey of NicuoLas, however
inoffensive it may be to our rulers. There was a
time when the EMPEROR might run about all
Europe without exciting the attention of France.
She then felt that no question of any importance
could be treated upon without her ; but now, such is
her weak state, that the slightest occurrence disturbs
our Conservatives."

The Journal des Debats merely announces his ar.
rival.

A general belief prevailed at Paris that the Em-
peror of MOROCCO seriously intended to take part
with ABD-EL-KADER against the French. A letter
from Tangiers, which appears in the Algerie, a journal
published at Algiers, announces that the EMPEROR
has caused a holy war to be preached against France.
The pretext is a belief of an intervention by France
in the differences between Morocco and Spain. The
EMPEROR is said to place great reliance on the
preparations which ABD..ET,KADER has been em-
ployed for several months in making among the great
tribes on the frontier of Algeria. It is further re-
ported that a son of MULEY ABD-EL-RHAMAN has
joined the EMIR with a considerable body of forces.
There appears to be some foundation for the report,
as similar intelligence had been communicated to a
Paris journal, the Commerce, which contains the
following statements :
__

"We have received accounts from Algiers of the 26th ult.
Marshal Bugeaud, in his expedition in the East, has obtained
the submission of the Flittas, and has sent some of his troops
back to Algiers, which indicates that he has attained his ob-
ject, and is about to return himself to Algiers, where his pre-
sence is required in consequence of serious news from the
West. It appears that we are threatened with an attack by
the Emperor of Morocco, who has assembled from 9,000 to
10,000 men, at least, on his frontiers, and they are constantly
receiving reinforcements. The son of Abd-el-Rhaman is at
their head. The Marshal, informed of this, intends, it is
asserted, to proceed to the spot. All the forces of the division
of Oran are assembling on the frontier, in order to be ready
for the troops of Morocco, if they should attempt to invade
our territory."

Considerable fluctuation took place in the French
Funds on Monday. The Three per Cents. at one time
had fallen to 84f. 20c., and the Fives to 121 f. 60c.,
but they afterwards improved and closed as follows :
Threes, 84f. 30c.; Fives, 122 f. Isc.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, IN ..'EDNESDAY MORNING.
_ _

The Teviot, Royal Mail Company's steam-ship, Captain
Wil Liam Allan, arrived this morning, at half-past four, from
the West Indies, bringing all the mails, which were dispatched
by the seven o'clock train, and which, of course, will be de-
livered in London this day.
Her dates of departure are as follow :—Tampico, 24th
April ; Vera Cruz, 2d May ; Jamaica, Bth May ; Barbadoes,
9th May; Havannah, 10th May; Grenada, II th May; Nas-
sau, 13th May ; St. Thomas's, 15th May ; and liermhda,
20th May.

The Tiviot reports that things are still in a very,unsettled
state at Hayti.

In Mexico, the castle of St. Juan de Alma is being strongly
fortified with all possible dispatch ; otherwise, matters are
generally very quiet. Santa Anna has agreed to allow all
those ships that had left England previously to the passing
of his new tariff, to discharge their cargoes under the old
duties.

At the Havannah, the authorities have expelled the whole
of the free blacks. A large party of them took shelter on
board the Teviot, and were brought on by Capt. Allan to
Nassau. Others have proceeded to Jamaica and Mexico.
Many executions are daily taking place at Matanzas and
ilavannah of those blacks concerned in the late insurrection.

There is a great want of rain in the islands of Cuba, Ber-
muda, and the Bahamas. The latter are suffering dreadfully
from a very long-continued drought, and the privations the
inhabitants are undergoing are great in the extreme.
Her Majesty's frigate Pique, Hon. Captain Stopford, was
lying at Sacrificioa when the Teviot left Vera Cruz. _

- The Thames was at Havannah when the Teviot left, and
was to sail the same evening for Vera Cruz, with the English
mails of the let of April. On the 9th of May her Majesty's
schooner Lee sailed for Belize with the Ist of April mails.
The Teviot experienced Ane weather generally the whole
of the voyage, encountering, of course, the prevailing head-
winds. She was only due at Southampton this day at
twelve o'clock.

Freight-268 serons cochineal (from Vera Cruz); 91,461
dollars; 155 doubloons ; 4,099 ounces of gold dust ; 1,3971b5.
silver; and 29,500 dollars for the Mexican dividends.—

QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court took the Crown paper this morning and after-
wards proceeded with the new trial paper. No case of any
public interest came on during the morning.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
There was nothing of the slightest general interest in the
cases which came before the Court this day.

MAR YLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
William Martin, a young man, of respectable appearance,
was charged with having, this morning, created a disturb..
ance in the residence of the Rev. Mr. HoLstock, Polygon,
Somers-town.

Mr. James Horton, residing there, said that the parlour
windows of the rev, gentleman had been broken by seme
mischievous person that morning, and the prisoner, who was
passing at the time, was taken to the station-house, on sus-
picion of having been the offending party. Witness went to
the station-house, and, knowing the prisoner, forbore to press
the charge, and he was set at liberty. About half-past nine
this morning he called at the Rev. Mr. llolstock's, m order,
as he said, to explain about the windows, but the rev. gen-
tleman wished to have no communication with him, and
told him to leave the house. The prisoner refused to do so,
and a disturbance was created, when the prisoner was given
into custody.
The prisoner—l did not break the windows.
Mr. RAWLINSON—The present charge is not for breaking
windows, but for creating a disturbance. But I must say
that it looks to me as if you did break them. You were found
alone, at two in the morning, in the Polygon, a place alto-
gether apart from the road, and where you could have had
no business. However, it is with the other case I have to do.
You will find bail for your good behaviour in time to come.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A person of dissipated appearance was brought before the
Magistrate on two charges of drunkenness. He was de-
scribed as Fitzgibbon, a newspaper reporter en one of the
police-sheets, and as reporter on the other.
He was found drunk by a policeman on Monday evening,
and locked up, but was bailed out. lie did not appear to hie
bail yesterday morning, and the Sergeant said the bail-men
would be sued for their recognisances. Yesterday evening
he was again found drunk and incapable in the E division,
and locked up and charged by an E constable.
Sergeant Dyer stated that the prisoner had been previously
convicted before the magistrates of Otis court.
