ascendancy of despotism, corruption, and bigotry in
their most shameless form—" The Orange Societies of
Ireland," of which the illustrious ERNEST of Hanover
is, or was, the head; the " Ten Bishops Restored,"
which means that the Established Church in the
sister.country should be rendered a still greater
nuisance than it is at present ; and lastly, " Scriptural
education," which, however plausibly this toast may
sound, and however inoffensive it may appear, implies
neithei more nor less than that the education of
all classes of Irishmen should be vested exclusively in
the hands of Protestant pastors and masters, in order
that another " heavy blow and great discourage-
ment"—as Lord MELnouRNE would say—may be in-
flicted on the long suffering millions in Ireland who
profess the Catholic faith. But if the toasts of these
desperate partisans of a worn-out system were offen-
sive and intolerant in their character, the appeals
made to their passions were, if possible, still
worse; and one of the speakers, after abusing
Sir ROBERT PEEL, in terms borrowed from the un-
savoury vocabulary of Billingsgate, went on to oh-
"the miserable and incompetent Government,
now reigning over them, after having supported
Popery in every other part of Europe, were now
about to put in force what Mr. WYSE calls the Orange
Procession Act. Oh, they little knew the force and
current of Protestant feeling, if they considered that
an Act of Parliament could extinguish the glorious
principle of its life. There were a hundred thousand
Protestants ready, if the tide of anarchy should con-
tinue to advance, and at length assail the
last bulwarks of the Church and Constitution, to raise
once more a Nassau, and prepare once more to cross
the Boyne." The meaning of this passage—that is
to say, if any meaning can be extracted from it—is,
that if Government shall decide on making any fur-
ther concessions to the cause of liberal govern-
ment in Ireland, .they, the Irish Protestants, will
assemble their thousands in arms, and resist all
such concessions by open, bare-faced violence ? As
this swaggering threat was an after-dinner one, its in-
spiration may easily be conjectured ; and indeed so
outrageously absurd is it, so faithful a copy of the
BOMBASTES FURIOSO style of bombast, that
we should scarcely have considered it worthy even
Of a passing notice, had it not strictly illustrated
the character of the Irish Orangemen. Un-
'taught by experience, untamed by the humiliat-
ing reverses they have encountered since the
passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, these men
are just as bigoted just as arbitrary and self- '
opinionated as they were in the good old ELDON
times, when the game was in their own hands—the
ball at their feet—and Protestant Ascendancy was
the order of the day in Ireland. While the world
about them has been in progress, they alone have
either stood stock-still, gazing about them, like
STERNE'S scullion, " ii7ith a foolish face of wonder,"
or else, when forced into reluctant motion by the irre-
sistible pressure of events, have taken two steps back-
ward fur every one they have taken forward. Verily
your Irish Orangeman is a queer creature. He has
scarcely one sympathy or opinion in common with
the age in which he lives, and which he can-
not be brought to comprehend. His mind dwells
exclusively on the past, hating the present, and
filled with distrust of the future. It is vain to
tell him that it is his duty, not less than his interest,
to concede something to the altered character of the
age, and that other men, far more influential' than
himself, have done the same ; such reasoning is
wholly lost on his obtuse, purblind faculties, and he
exhibits, in consequence, the humiliating spectacle of
bigotry without power, and perseverance without
hope.

We entreat the public attention to a circular, which
will be found in another column, addressed, by the
Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of
Industry, to the Members of the House of Commons,
entreating their instant "attention to the consequences
which must ensue from the Bank of England Charter
Bill passing through Parliament in itspresent state." It
is a well-timed appeal to that House—in which we
fear, however, this fatal measure is destined to run
its full course, perhaps this very evening, for which
we see the third reading is fixed. But prier to the
Bill being carried up to the House of Lords—
a tribunal from whose greater sagacity in the conduct
and investigation of all measures immediately affect-
ing the monetary resources of the country, we look
forward with some confidence to extensive modifica-

ions, if not the ultimate rejection of the scheme,—

it is well that Sir ROBERT PEEL should have been
afforded this last opportunity of reconsidering The
enactments he is calling on the Legislature to pass. It
will not be in his power to pleadhereafter that the erro-
neous principle of his Bill, and its inevitably disastrous
operation, (if passed into a law), had not been suf-
ficiently or clearly brought under his consideration.
'The " circular" before us is a most able paper,
exhibiting, in a few short paragraphs, not only the
demonstration of the errors of principle and the prac-

tical tendencies to which we allude ; but a rationale
of the whole theory of our currency system since
1819 ; of its inherent elements of disorganisation and
disturbance ever since; and of their indefinite and
ruinous aggravation under this Bill of 1844. This
circular is signed by Mr. SPOTTISWOODE, the Chair-
man of the Society, and forms an honourable testi-
mony to the unremitting and intelligent exertions of
that gentleman to induce Parliament to discharge a
duty which it certainly has not hitherto performed—
in giving to the Bill in question a much more search-
ing, impartial, and dispassionate consideration than
it has found from the House of Commons, owing
either to the timidity of that assembly in dealing
with great administrative questions of this nature ;
or to the overwhelming influence which Sir ROBERT
has managed to enlist there in support of his scheme,
but without reference to its merits—if any could to
predicated of it !

Accounts have been received from Naples, dated
the 22d ult., announcing the total defeat of the Italian
emigrants, and the two brothers BANDEIRA, who left
Corfu on the 12th, and disembarked on the 16th on
the coast of Calabria. On the 19th, they were at-
tacked by a party of the Royal troops at Belvedere,
in the province of Cantajarra. The commander of
the municipal guard and a gensd'arme were killed.
After this success the insurgents continued their march
to St. Giovani-in-fiori, on the road to Cocenza. At
the distance of two leagues from St. Giovani they fell
in with another party of the Royalist troops, who at-
tacked 'there, and the result was that three of the in-
surgents were killed, two were wounded, and four-
teen were taken prisoners. The rest took, to flight.
Their object was to release the political prisoners de-
tained at Cocenza.

The remarkable article in the Monitrur, advocating
the right of the younger branches of the Royal Family
to State pensions, has excited a painful sensation
throughout France. It forms a subject of comment
in every Paris journal of Tuesday. Those of the
Opposition attack the Government, or more properly
speaking, the Sovereign, in terms much stronger
than any they have ventured to use since the passing
of the September Libel Laws ; and, even the Govern-
ment papers can say nothing in its defence. Never
was a measure so universally execrated. The Globe,
which is reckoned the organ of the Court, uses mere
generalities, which might refer to almost any subject;
and the Journal des Debats all but condemns the
mode in which the proposal has been made. " We
will not deny," it says, " that the sudden appearance
of this manifesto has somewhat surprised us, and that
we have sought to discover its object with a certain
degree of solicitude. It is not that we are without
fixed opinions on the question itself—they still are
what they always have been. The justice and neces-
sity of providing portions for the Princes of the
Royal Family is, in our eyes, a legitimate conse-
quence, not only of this or that particular law, but
also of the monarchical principle. If we have any
regret, it is that the question of endowment was not
brought before the Chambers when it would have
come naturally into discussion of one of the most im-
portant laws the country was ever called upon to pass
—we mean the Regency Bill. If the Government
had no more to contend against than the permanent
prejudices of M. L'IIERBETTE, or even the occasional
scruples of M. Dorm, we believe that it would be
but little disturbed by the one, and not too long
alarmed by the other. But there is something
which the Government respects much more than the
opinion of its adversaries—the opinion of its friends.
Now we are not ignorant, and shall Rot attempt to
conceal, that even in the ranks of the Conservative
party the question of endowments for the Princes of

the Royal Family meets with,. objections, which we
regret, but which ,we respect, because they are
sincere."

The following, from the National, is evidently di-
rected against Louis PHILIPPE himself:—

" There are some men who are so completely blinded by
their love of gold, that they lose the most vulgar notions of
prudence. The effect produced on Monday by the admi-
rable speech of M. L'Heroette, will no doubt appear to them
to be a movement of the factious; and some words of good
'sense pronounced by M. Dupin, wiil be regarded as an in-
sane attack against monarchical institutions. The law of
dotation will be incessantly brought forward, and we are glad
of it. XiSured as we are of public opinion, which will rally
all good men against the stock-jobbers, we are not inclined
to be afflicted at the imprudence committed in the Moniteur,
or elsewhere."

The Quotidiene attacks the Ministry for the article
in the Moniteur, and, unlike the National, charges it
with falsehood, in stating that tne KING had only
received five millions under the head of indemnity.
The amount he received, it asserts,- exceeded sixteen
millions. " LOUIS PHILIPPE asking for more," bids fair
to damage the Ministry more than any event wbilh
has occurred since M. Guizin became Prime Minister.
'We see nothing else of interest in the papers.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
'deaths during the week ending June 29, was 964,
being 18 above the average •of the last five years.
The excess is chiefly in small-pox, scarlatina, and
violent deaths. The deaths from small-pox are
unusually great, being 51, or 36 above the average.
Of the 51 persons who died of this disease, 31 had
not been vaccinated. The deaths from scarlatina
were 60—average 34; and from violence, 66—average
25. Of these deaths, 14 were caused by suicide, and
a considerable proportion from burns and scalds.
The thermaneter was highest on Monday, the 24th
June, 83.3, and lowest on Wednesday, 48. Rain in
