display of political virtue in any one great party in the
State, and it reflects an imperishable lustre on the Whigs,
and seals their character for consistency and disin-
terestedness ; but how the act contrasts with that of
their opponents, who cast to the winds, for the sake of
place, every consideration that should guide human
conduct, reprobated the conduct of Lord NORMANDY
and Lord EBRINGTON, for their attachment to the
Irish people, threw every obstaole in the way of
reconciliation, goaded the people to madness by regis-
tration Bills, by opposing corporation reform, and con-
stantly upbraiding the Melbourne Government because
they did not by sabres and bullets put down the just
complaints of an entire nation ! That was not all. The
very clergy of the people, so revered by their flocks, were
insulted by the most opprobrious epithets; no calumny was
considered too low, no imputation too mean—renegade
Catholic priests and savage Orangemen, in the garb of
ministers of peace, were encouraged to travel through
England as missionaries, and to assemble multitudes
at Exeter Hall, to excite the most fiendish pas-
sions against their fellow-subjects and fellow-Christians ;
but we will not pursue the painful subject further.
A new light has arisen—the day of peace has dawned on
Ireland, and Whigs and Tories at last cordially agree
in the justice, the mercy, and the absolute necessity, of
treating the Irish as subjects of the same Sovereign.
And we cannot mention the name without paying
a tribute to our beloved QUEEN for the deep interest
which she has always taken in the welfare of Ireland. It is
needlesss to recount all that we have heard respecting
the fixed, the unalterable sympathy which she has dis-
played—it is enough to say that the reconciliation of the
Irish nation to England is the wish dearest to her
heart. Her Ministers have cordially joined in such
noble sentiments. Concession and justice to Ireland
were the themes of Sir J. GRAHAM'S speech, and these
were re-echoed last night by Sir R. PEEL. " I know
not," said he, " what the consequences may be with
regard to the kindly relations between England and
Ireland ; but this I kno.v, that the proposition has been
the means of calling forth the most kindly feelings in
the minds of a grateful people." And he will not stop
here. GOD forbid that he should. He has yet other
measures in store, and wisely rejected the earnest and
deceitful solicitations of the chief opponent of the
measure to say where he would stop. The peroration
of his speech is worthy of the cause. It shadows forth
that real union with Ireland is now his first object, and
that he will join even the ranks of his op-
ponents in asserting such an inestimable blessing
'o the United Empire. "In the course of this
debate," said the Right Hon. Baronet, "it has
been supposed that an occasion might arise when all the
energies of the country should be called forth in our
defence. May GOD forbid that so great an evil may
fall upon us. But whatever may be the result of this
debate—to whatever hands the destinies of this coun-
try may be committed, I shall take my place by the
side of my successors, and give them every sup-
port in my power to this just end honourable cause.
If the calamity of war should befal us, it is my earnest
hope that when it occurs it will find the people of this
empire united in loyalty to the throne, in mutual confi-
dence, and in a love of those institutions from which they
derive the highest benefits. It is my earnest prayer
that the result of our measures will be so to unite the
people of this realm, as to ensure the triumph of a just
cause."

We find that in reference to the necessity for an alteration
in the duties on butter and cheese some remarks by Messrs.
Keeling and hunt, whom we quoted under this head, as good
practical authorities, are not considered by our Contempo-
rary, the Post, as being sufficiently clear. When we
point out, however, that the leaning of Messrs. Keel-
ing is in favour of an important article of consumption
coming in at a reduced duty, and that this
by extreme protectionists is sure to be considered an
encroachment on agricultural rights, we need feel no surprise
that the matter appears less plain to that paper than to the
brokers. The meaning of the latter, however, as we take it,
is the meaning of all who desire to see trade re-
lieved from some of its shackles, and especially as
regards the importation of food, and may be thus very
easily explained. A merchant imports 1,000 firkins of
foreign butter; part, being of prime quality, may realise 955.
per cwt. ; a second portion, being somewhat inferior, may
sell at 655. ; a third 50s. The two former prices will enable
him to pay the duty of 21s. per cwt.; but the third, if the
duty was to be paid, would leave him but 295. per cwt.
nett. And then comes his alternative of having this portion
destroyed by tar, and clearing it for grease purposes, for
which he would obtain 40s. per cwt., without any
duty being paid. Therefore, he would gladly let
the public have his butter at the least difference
in his own favour compared to what he would get
by destroying it. The same system of protection, if ex-
tended to any other article of every day consumption, would
so puzzle the mind of a merchant, as to the ultimate re-
sult of his investment, that the best judgment in the world
would be defeated by the uncertainty it engenders.
With regard to the union workhouses consuming foreign
cheese, it must be recollected that not one-third of the
farmers make this article ; therefore the former have
no other alternative than resorting to foreign—and conse-
quently they have to pay the price of the protection or must
put themselves in a position to compete with the foreign
market, to produce the material at the same price as the
foreign article. The question then lies between the union
workhouses having foreign cheese or none at all. They have
no choice, and such is about the case with most protected
articles.
According to the Bank of England returns, the issue of
notes has decreased in the week to April 12, by 135,195/. ;

been diminished by 2,568,940/., and the other deposits in-
creased by 1,307,0721.

Madrid journals of the 11th have been received, but
they contain nothing worthy of interest. The Money
Market was very dull, and prices lower. The Three
per Cents. closed at 35i for cash ; for Account 354 ;
:tnd the Three per Cents. for Account at 25t; Debt
without Interest, 8 cash, and 9 for Account.

The Paris papers, which contain no domestic news of
importance, are much occupied with the discussion in
the House of Commons, and the excitement caused by
the Ma) ncoth Bill. The Government paper, the Journal
des Debati, approves of the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL,
with regard to Ireland, but still thinks it would be better
to govern with his party than without it and against it.
The Presse takes a different view of the question, and
after adverting to the insults heaped on the Premier by
a London journal, which called him the MAROTO of the
Conservatives, says :—" Thus we find that party spir.it
is every where and at all times the same. Only prove
youraelf to be more enlightened, more moderate, a better
judge of the wants and interests of society than others
are, and you are immediately denounced as a traitor and
a felon. Happily these accusations by narrow and
prejudiced minds are treated with contempt by most
of those to whom they are addressed." The National
contrasts the religious feeling in the two countries.
The Catholic religion," it says, "is treated as bar-
barous and idolatrous in England. In France that which
is barbarous and fatal is the- right of examination, the

liberty of opinion, the independence of mind which seeks,
studies, and compares, and, freeing itself from the ac-
cepted dogmas, soars aloft to regions where thought
alone is sovereign. Let those sectarian violences appear
at the same time to all eyes ; we know nothing more
likely to get them appreciated than to show them side by
side. In England, as in France, the public good sense
will cover with its impartial disdain all these passions
of a time that is past."
The Sentinelle of Toulon says :—" Rear-Admiral
TURPIN, commander of the Levant squadron, is recalled.
He is to be replaced by a Capitaine DE VAISSEAU. This
measure has been concerted with the Cabinet of London,
which also withdraws the Admiral in command of the
British squadron in the Levant."
The intelligence from Switzerland is to the 13th. The
Passe says :
" The canton of Lucerne has apticipated the wishes of the
Diet. The Grand Council has authorised the Executive
Council to enter into negotiations with the governments of
the other cantons for setting its prisoners at. liberty. Even
the Lucerne refugees, who have been captured, are to be
brohght before the tribunals, and tried according to .the law
on the Free Corps. But there is reason to believe that this
process will be a mere matter of form, the Grand Council'
having shown a disposition to listen to all appeals for grace
that may be made to it."
On the Paris Bourse there was much speculation in
railway shares, which closed with a decided fall. It
was settling day, but no defaulters had been, named.
The following are the prices of shares in the- principal
companies: —Paris and Orleans 1,207 f. 50c.; Paris and
Rouen, 1,100 f.; Rouen and Ilavre, 935 f.; Avignon,

Dunlop, by a majority of six. The numbers were-
- For Mr. Baine
For Mr. Dunlop 344

Both candidates are Liberals and advocates of free trade.
Mr. Dunlop appeared as an opponent of the Maynooth grant,
and the election turned entirely on this point, Mr. Baine
having declared himself in favour of the measure.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
Of the two last races on Thursday, the list sent from the
Heath contained merely the official return ; a few additional
particulars are, therefore, necessary. The race between Dr.
Locock and the Misnomer colt excited no interest whatever;
it was a waiting affair on the part of the Duke's colt, and
was won cleverly, by half a length. The Claret, though
confined to a brace of competitors, was a sporting race, 3 to 1
and 7 to 2 having been laid, to a large amount, on Antler.
The Cure, however, who was a short time since purchased by
Mr. Robertson, and left Hesseltine's stable for Dawson's,
gave the fielders a turn—the more welcome from its novelty
—by running more kindly than usual, and winning easy, by
a couple of lengths. Antler, who made the running, showed
temper, and although vigorously admonished with the whip,
made no effort after passing the Duke's Stand. The pace
was good. The winner was afterwards backed for the Chester
Cup, at 1,000 to 15. Immediately after this race—so poverty-
stricken was the list for Friday—one-half of our visitors took
their departure for town
