We subjoin a few passages from the letter,
which terminate with an explosion, which only
patricitiSin ceuid excuse.
" Let us reSticA'. the progress of France towards

liberty of the Press protected againstarbitrary power.
The interpretation of the laws restored to ttte Le-
gislature. Letters of Ntlturalitation submitted to
the Elective Chamber, in their profound, and often
dangerousconsequences—the verification of these
letters declared to be the object of a vote as free and
as necessary as that upon the establishment Of an
impost. The persecution of rrismity iatruction SUS-

The same publicity of accounts extended from the
hutiget of the state to that of the departments. In
the war department, the soi-dt,sant military Gover-
nors stripped of their rich sinecures, and poor officers
relieved. In the civil department, exorbitant salaries
struck ofl; though without sufficient regard to rule
or consistency, So much for what has been done,

There has been much said and written, of
late years, as to the great advantages which Ire-
land would derive from the investment of British
' capital hi that country. We have always main-
tained that Ireland would eventually take from
us our manufactures, or, at least) a great portion
of them, on the simple principle of being the
' cheaper country. We have maintained that this
change would be brought about, not by what are
called great capitalists going ever there and spe-
culating upon the invtatnent of their capital in
extensive corn:erns, but by poor manufacturers,
who find that, by the cheapness of living and
labour, they can produce a piece of goods five
or ten per cent. cheaper in Ireland than in this
country, and will naturally get their goods manu-
factured where the cost of production is the
least: Thus will our manufactures be drawn
over by degrees from Leeds and Manchester to
Kilkenny, Belfast, and other places, so as to
make industry and Protestantism flourish in
place of speech-making and Catholicism. This
is the natural progression of things. Manufac-
turers seek the cheapest places, from a law as in-
evitable as that which makes rivers direct their
course towards the sea. Thcy are impelled in
that direction by the prevailing law of self-in-
terest. It was on that principle that linen
manufactures formerly migrated to the North
of Ireland. The woollen manufactures were

fast fblknying them, when in the reign of
William the Third, the narrow policy of Nome
Statesmen induced them to have absurd and
unjust Statutes passed to put down the Woollen
trade of Ireland ; and they had that effect, other-
wise we should not hear so much as we do at
the present day of Catholicism, and miracles,
and fairies, in Ireland ; for it is in the nature of
the activity and intelligence which accompany
manufactures to displace from their strong holds
superstition and priestcraft. So is the North of
Ireland, where the linen manufacture has long
flourished, by far the most Protestant and most
enlightened part of Ireland: This is apparent
to every person who travels through the province
of Ulster, after seeing the South and West of
Ireland. He will imagine, in the neighbour-
hood of Belfast, he has got into a country at
least a hundred years more advanced in civiliza-
tion than Cork or Galway. We are glad to find,
therefore, that tnanufactin es are at last getting
into the South and West. The cotton factory
which the Quakers have established at Mayfield,
in the county of Waterford (the account of the
Marquis of Anglesea's visit to which we gave the
other day), seems to be in a thriving condition.
There a number of English workmen are em-
ployed, and with them Quakerism, Church:of-
Englandism, and other branches of the ,Ite-
formed Religion, will be introduced. We gave,
in the Morning Herald of Monday, a para-
graph by which it appeared that an agent from
the house of Ben. Gott and Sons, had arrived j

in Kilkenny, to purchase blankets for the Rus-
sian armies. This is on the principle that we
have mentioned—the inferior cost at which the
goods are produced, arising out of the compa-
rative cheapness of the country. The house at
Leeds sends its agent to Ireland to purchase
those articles to supply their foreign order, be-
cause they have discovered that the manufac-
turer at Kilkenny can produce a piece of blanket-
ing five, ten, or perhaps fifteen per cent. cheaper
than the capitalist at Leeds. Thus is Ireland
taking front us our manufactures. The effect
will be, in course of time, not merely a mercan-
tile, but a moral revolution. The Quakers,
Methodists, Unitarians, Baptists, Independents,
&c., will introduce their several systems of reli-
gion along with the cotton, woollen, silk, crape,
ilnpaper, hardware, and glass manufacto-
rtorlsLand thus, by means of so many wedges
operating upon it in all parts, NV ill the great
at rnudn kr oo
ft.ed ou of Ireland. the
eCt
Catholic
csstem be split in pieces,
. Thus will the real
emancipation of Irishmen be accomplished—the
emancipation front ignorance, superstition, and
priestcraft, into a condition of intelligent in-
dustry and mental freedont.—Morninillerald.

The want of wisdom in our Corn Laws, if

not their inutility, was never more apparent than
at this moment ; for, such is the fallacious scale
of averages produced by the low prices of
damaged corn, that, at the moment when these
laws ought to be in operation to meet a deficient
harvest, they are so paralysed as to be, in fact,
causing one of the evils they profess to remedy.
There are few persons, we should think, who
must not 110 W be convinced of the superiority of
Mr. Hume's proposal of a fixed tax on imported
corn over the graduated scale which has been
