-
can scarcely be otherwise than auspicious to the inte-
rests of Ireland, for we can with difficulty believe it
possible that Sir ROBERT PEEL, with the extraordi-
nary events of the last few days full in his recollec-
tion, can any longer hesitate as to the imperative
necessity of doing full and prompt justice to the
sister country. However dexterously he may have
evaded the difficulty last session, he cannot with
safety play the same-game, next. Events are com-
bining against him. Expediency is declaring it,
favour of a conciliatory system of policy as regard:
Ireland, and the Premier is not the man to neglect
the hints of this shrewd monitor. Sir ROBERT PEEL
has now before him as fine an opportunity as states-
man ever had of winning the undying gratitude of a
nation, and the respect of posterity; and we do hope
that he will show himself worthy of his exalted posi-
tion, and laying aside, for once in his life, the miaera•
ble considerations of party, mete out justice to long-
oppressed Ireland in a comprehensive, resolute, and
magnanimous spirit.

been given does great honour to the political and con- (
stitutional system in England. The question has
been discussed and settled by five persons only ; that
is to say, by the lawyers of the House ; and although
all the other Peers of Great Britain, including such
of the Ministry as are members of the Upper House,
had a right to take a part in the vote, yet, from re-
spect for constitutional customs, they unanimously
abstained."
The Debuts proceeds then to give a sketch of the
proceedings which took place in the House of Lords
on that momorable day, and which it does with the
ability which is always remarkable in our Contempo-
rary's articles upon England; and it concludes with
these words :
"We repeat, that the manner in which the judgment
has been given is calculated to give a high idea of Eng-
lish forms and English justice. It is beyond a doubt that
the reception of Mr. O'Connell's appeal must be a source
of great embarrassment to the Ministry, and yet the
Ministry has scrupulously abstained from interfering in
the decision of the House, although it could have legally
done so. All Peers had a right to vote ; and if all had
made use of their right, the result could not be doubtful,
considering the immense majority that supports the Go-
vernment in the Upper House."
The National takes a very different view of the
question. It thinks the acquittal of O'CONNELL is
the effect of the fears of the aristocracy, who are
apprehensive of causing too much discontent in " that
mat nursery of soldiers and sailors." The National
makes a discovery, too, which is not at first sight
very obvious, which will probably surprise some of
our reaiers—namely, that to France O'CONNELL
owes his release from prison, Ireland owes Catholic
Emancipation, and the United Kingdom the Reform
Bill. And for all these services, the National is con-
fident that, in case of need, France will find power-
ful auxiliaries in Ireland against France's
,"eternal
enemy."
The Debate has the following on a recent meeting
of the Repeal Association in Dublin :
" W. cannot give an account of this meeting without a
few words of remark ; for we should not like it to be
supposed that we see anything serious in the proceed-
ings. It appears that one of the speakers celebrated,
with an enthusiasm marked by a local colouring the
bombardment of the ports of Morocco, and the courage
of the Prince de Joinville. We should certainly feel
flattered at these eulogiums, both for the French navy
and for the Prince, if we could suppose them to be disin-
terested. But, knowing their just value, we confess with
sincerity that we are but very slightly touched by them.
A short time back, when a perfect harmony appeared to
exist betweea the Governments of France and England,
the repeal orators lavished the most violent abuse on the
King of the French and his family. At present, when
certain persons amuse themselves with circulating re-
ports of war, these same speech-makers change their
theme, and make use of the Prince de Joinville and the
French navy as they formerly used the Duke de Bor-
deaux and the famous brigade which they placed at his
service. It would not be right to form illusions which
mu'(' one *lay be cruelly disappointed. The Irish, it
must be declared, would be the first to laugh at us if we
took for ready money the wishes which they express for
our snecess. We shall be happy to see them profiting by
all circumstances to obtain the justice which is not com-
pletely rendered them ; but we should not like to be
taken for dupes. We cannot conceal from ourselves that
the sympathies of Ireland for us would only last to the
period when they should bare drawn from it all the ad-
vantage possible. It seems to be supposed that, in all
difficult times, Ireland would be an instrument for us, we
rather think that we should be one for her."
The Siecle observes, that,
"Since the decree of. the Court of Cessation which,
after hearing the pleading of M; Odillon Barrot, declared
the ordinance which placed Paris in a state of siege
illegal, no judicial event has had the same importance as
the admission of O'Connell's appeal by the House of
Lords. The British Cabinet is much shaken, if not
overthrown, by this unexpected blow. Ireland triumphs.
Her hero, her father, her liberator, is about to be de •
livered from prison by the majesty of the law. O'Con-
nell, although condemned, still passed for a great jurist ;
but after all, he was convicted in fact, and a fact is al-
ways much in the eyes of men. At present the prestige
which encompassed O'Connell as a statesman, as a libe-
rator, as a jurist, is restored in all its splendour. The
influence of this man is become irresistible. Ireland
must be crushed by the sword, or a capitulation must be
made with her."
The Opposition papers comment very angrily on
the terms on which the Otaheite affair has been ar-
ranged.
The Constitutionnel says:—
" There are two very different opinions on the negotia-
tions with England. Several persons have thought
that the English Ministry made serious threats of war,
and that the fears of M. Guizot were so great, that he
tendered his resignation. Other equally grave persons
affirm that there has been a great deal of farce in all that
has been displayed. The two Cabinets, according to
them, had long ago come to an understanding, but had
a mutual interest in prolonging the final and formal set-
tlement of the affair. Sir R. Peel wished it to be be-
XISAJP/itill'olEntdiAlPiatift6"ird e in Vianee
with which England found it easy to deal ; while M.
Guizot wished to extenuate his new disavowal, and
feigned to risk his place, rather than accede to all the
demands of England. It is of little importance which of
these two opinions is adopted. If this farce has been
played, it merely shows that the actors know right well
how to dissimulate, and that each was equally able in dis-
honouring his country, taking it for a dupe, like the Cas-
sandra of a vaudeville. If the conflict was at first as seri-
' ous as it was said to be on both sides, we must conclude
that the policy of peace at any price has led France
into the peril elf nar with an island of savages, of which
she had not sufficient spirit to take possession. Trickery,
cowardice, and profound incapacity—such is the sum-
mary of this affair. How proud must France be when
she is told, Congratulate yourself upon our firmness and
energy—after having disavowed Admiral Dupetit
Thouars six months ago, we have just only disavowed
one more officer ! We deal economically with our navy
—we do not give it all up at once ! After the right of
search we have sacrificed an Admiral, and after the dis-
avowal of the Admiral we have cast a reprimand upon.a
Commandant ! We know how to resist England ! 'We
know how to defend the rights, the honour, the dignity
of the agents of France, and, in particular, of the officers
of her navy ! ' said M. Guizot. If, on the day when M.
Guizot pronounced in the Chambers the words we have
just quoted, he had added—Nevertheless, M. d'Aubigny
shall be censured by us, what indignation would not
these words have produced in the Parliament—what
rage would they not have excited throughout France !
M. Guizot thinks that in France time will trumph over
every generous sentiment—even the feeling of honour."
The Courrier Francais of Saturday, in the course
of a long and violent article against its own and the
English Government, takes occasion to renew its
charges against English agents, and, in particular, Sir
ROBERT WILSON, the Governor of Gibraltar. , So
blinded is the Courrier by its anti-English preju-
dices, that it even sneers at Sir ROBERT WILSON for
one of the most generous and noble actions ever per-
formed by man—the saving the life of LAVALETTE.
The following is an extract from the article of the
Courrier :—" As to the English naval and military
officers, we know that if they take a fancy to commu-
nicate their advice and their plans to the enemies of
Prance, they do not feel themselves bound to ask per-
mission officially from their Government. We know
one even, who, in the time of peace, amused himself
in thwarting the French Government; but in this
instance the people of France were by chance in ac-
cord with him. This officer was Sir ROBERT WIL-
SON, who carried off LAVALETTE from the gaolers of
the restoration. In the present day he would not
probably hesitate to do as much for ABD-EL-KADER,
if he were a prisoner in France."

We are sorry to observe that the invaluable facili-
ties and extension afforded to the operations of com-
merce by the newly-organised scheme of " overland
communication," as now established between this
country and India, are occasionally much compro-
mised or disparaged by some defective postal arrange-
ments that ought to be made the subject of promp.
iivestigation. The shortened term—as compared
with that of the old sea route—which is now required
for the interchange of letters (to say nothing of
visits) between the British islands and the Indian
peninsula, is one of the most remarkable and most
useful triumphs of modern enterprise. The service
of the empire has already benefited, to an
enormous extent, by the early intelligence
which the Governments of the last ten years
have thus been enabled to receive of the great
events and mighty combinations that have taken
place, in that interval, at the northern and north-
western portion of our vast dimensions in Southern
Asia, and in the seas and on the coasts of China. For
some years to come we may reasonably look for an
enlargement of our mercantile connexions in those
regions, of a magnitude that is little dreamed of, yet,
among a considerable portion of our foreign tradsirs.
Political reasons, of obvious force, connect themselves
with the commercial considerations which should
make the uninterrupted maintenance of these relations
and facilities an object of the most anxious solicitude
to our Government. Nor can we help adding, that
their officers—especially those who hold appoint-
ments abroad, in which they control the machinery
for the transmission of the Indian mail to this country
—should be taught that it will be expected of them
to act up to the spirit, as well as the letter, of their in-
structions, and to assist, rather than to contract, the
scope of the British Government's orders. The delay
of the letters brought by the Bentinck, has been
the occasion of severe complaints among our mer-
chants in London, and has necessarily led to many
grave inconveniences that, we are inclined to think,
might all have been avoided. Where does the fault
of these " untoward interrruptions " really lie ? At
the door of the principals, or at that of their servants ?
We observed, at the time, on the analogous case of
the Hindustan, about two months since—and from the
tardily-elicited letter of Lord Lonsnana in that affair,
in reply to four several applications from Mr.
STIKEMAN, the Secretary of the East India and
China Association, we are disposed to pronounce the
superior authorities of the Post-office to be to blame.
In the case of the Hindustan, a very large mail from
Calcutta and Madras, on its arrival at Malta, was
not allowed to be passed via Marseilles, through
France as intended, and in which course they woubl
have been delivered in London on the 4th of July,
and replied to on the Bth of that month, in time for
the next outgoing mail; whereas, by being passed on
and landed at Southampton, they were not delivered
till the 10th, and so remained unanswered till the
mail subsequent to the 10th, an interval of some
weeks. It seemed that our Government must have
had reason to believe the crime of " letter breaking
by authority" to be infectious—a disease that, like
the cholera, was fully capable of crossing the sea
in all its malignity ! For the plea at last set up by
the Post-office, when it -at length condescended to
notice the repeated applications of Mr. STIREMAN,
was —that " the boxes brought from Calcutta to
Suez, per Hindustan, were not properly packed, and
were, therefore, forwarded to Southampton." But
. •• • .-.

tested, through their secretary, that of fifty-two
boxes of letters, so brought per Hindustan to
Suez, and reshipped in the Great Liverpool, at
Alexandria, two• thirds or three-fourths were in tin
boxes, hermetically closed, and marked in white
painted letters vin Marseilles :" and the Association
submitted that it had " always been the distinct un-
derstanding that letters coming through or from
Egypt in such boxes, would be brought, according to
the convention with France, through that counhey;'
Yet, when the Admiralty agent in charge of the
mails was about to land them in Malta, he received
a notice from the Post-office agent in that island,
stating that he was not authorised " to forward through
Fiance any other portion of the mail but such as
came from Bombay." Now, Colonel MABERLY, in
a letter, dated 17th July last, repudiates this pretence
of the Malta post-office agent, by assigning, solely,
the cause of the boxes not being properly packed, as
the reason for not sending them on through France.
Again, as we have seen, the Secretary of the East India
Association shows that three-fourths of all the letters
were enclosed in sealed tin boxes—so far from being
improperly packed.

Upon the whole, we are afraid that the delays of
delivery which have been found so annoying in the
cases of the Hindustan and the Bentinck will
neither be the least imp3rtant nor the last that will
occur, if the Postmaster-General do not deem the
strict and perfect working of the whole scheme of
postal arrangements connected with the overland
communication with India, an object worthy of all
that energy and attention of which—(it is doing his I
Lordship but bare justice to say)—few, if any, of the
public servants devote more to the performance of their
duties. We are persuaded that defects of this admi-
nistrative character are easiest removed when soonest
pointed out ; and we have, therefore, felt justified in
thus particularly and earnestly alluding to the case
of the Indian mail.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. The acquittal of Mr. O'CoNnELL by the
House of Lords is the subject of comment in several
of the papers. The Debats says, "After having read

ledged that the manner in which the judgme 10 has

According to the Courrier Francais, Count ST.
AuLAIRE had been ordered to return to London.

The accounts from Algiers of the 30th ult. state
that preparations were in progress for giving to Mar-
shal BUGBAUD a grand reception on his return to that
city. A triumphal arch was to be erected at the ex-
tremity of the street of the Marine, near the square,
and a banquet to be offered to him in the tent of the
Emperor of MOROCCO'S son. The Inflexible ship of
the line, and the Montezuma steam-frigate, left
Algiers on the 26th, to join the squadron of the
Prince DE JOINVILLE. The 130 prisoners, the nine
flags, the ten pieces of cannon, taken at Mogadore,
had been landed at Oran.

At Toulon similar preparations are in progress to
receive the Prince DE JOINVILLE with due honours.
The Municipal Council voted on the 3d a sum of
20,000 f. for that purpose. A triumphal arch is to be
erected in the street of the Arsenal ; provisions and
money are to'be distributed among the indigent poor,
and nautical games are to be performed in the har-
bour. In the evening a ball will be offered to the
Prince in the hall of the Municipality. The autho-
rities had, moreover, decided that a sum of .500 f
should be awarded to the widows of each sailor from
Toulon killed at Tangiers or Mogadore.
The Toulonnais says that it was very probable
that the Prince DE JOINVILLB would be appointed
High Admiral of France.
A supplement of the Toulonnais, of the 4th, pub-
lishes the following letter from an officer on board
the Jemappes, off Mogadore, dated the 24th ult. The
intelligence contained in the letter, should it be con-
firmed, is very important, but it is in some measure
at variance with the accounts we have received of the
Prince DE JOINVILLE'S movements by way of Madrid,
in which it was stated that the Prince was hourly ex-
pected at Cadiz. It is right, however, to state that
the Sentinelle of Toulon has a paragraph to the same
effect as this letter:—

" On board the Jemappes, off Mogadore, Aug. 24.
" The three ships of the line and the Belle Poule, were
under way yesterday for Cadiz, but the Suffren and 'Tri-
ton had scarcely gained the offing when the Morocco-
men began to cannonade the island, and the Jemappes
and the frigate were ordered to let go their anchors
again. The Admiral immediately ordered the broad-
sides of the steam-frigate Groenland, the steam•corvettes
Gassendi and Vedette, and the brigs Pandour and Vo-
lage to bear upon the town, and commence firing upon
the batteries, which they did for a space of two hours in
the evening. As soon as they had silenced the enemy's
fire a new landing was made by our troops, for the pur-
pose of spiking the guns which had been mounted since
the 16th. The immediate departure of the steam-packet
prevents me from sending you the result of this opera-
tion, but no doabt ()fits success can be entertained.'
_

We find the following in the Sentinelle of Toulon
of the 4th

" The Groenland left Mogadore on the 24th, with the
Vedette steamer in tow. On the 25th, at noon, she was
off Alazagan, and at three o'clock she cast off the Ve-
dette, and made all speed to enter Tarifa before sunset.
From thence she was to proceed to Cadiz with dis-
patches from the Prince de Joinville. At daylight of the
26th the weather was very hazy, the vessel being, ac-
cording to calculation, about thirteen leagues from the
land. At Len o'clock the fog became so thick that
the bow of the vessel was not discernible from the quar-
ter-deck. Shortly after ten o'clock, while the captain
was looking out on the poop, he fancied he saw some-
thing singular a short distance from the vessel on the
larboard side. He ordered the helm to be ported, and
stopped the engines, but the ship did not answer the
helm very promptly, and immediately struck heavily on
the beach, which was ascertained to be about three
leagues south of Larache. An anchor was let go,
but the cable snapped from the strain in attempting
to heave on it. A second anchor was let go, but it
was not attempted to put any strain on it more than
to prevent the vessel advancing further on the
beach. As it was about high-water when the
vessel struck, there was not the least chance of being
able to heave her off until the flowing of the following
tide. In the meantime every efibrt was made to lighten
her by cutting away her masts, and throwing two of her
guns anti her spare anchors overboard. At eleven o'clock
the fog clearing up a little, the situation of the vessel
was noticed by the Bedouins, who came down, and com-
menced a heavy fire of musketry, which they kept up
until night. The crew, however, behaved with the
greatest steadiness, and obeyed all the orders of the
c'tptain as if the accident had happened on a frieed'y
shore. The two guns which were left on board were
brought id bear on the Moors, and kept them off. The
Vedette steaoer, hearing the firing, approached, and,
bringing her broOside to bear on the beach, drove the
Moors from it. On firing being heard on board the
Pluton, the Prince de Joinville directed her to proceed
to the spot, and, in spite of the risk, went himself to
ascertain what chance there was of the vessel being got
off; but 6nding there was little hope of this being done,
wA .--1 "” 4,4
as cone by tie captain mcnseu. One seaman was
killed, and thirteen more or less seriously wounded by
the fire of the Moors."
We read in the Moniteur:—

" A letter written from Mogadore of the 17th, on
board one of the ships of the line, says that the fire of
our squadron was so sharp and so long, that not a
vessel had two rounds left. One hundred and eighty
Congreve rockets were discharged, and committed
dreadful ravages. The Belle Poule alone consumed
8,120 kilogrammes of powder, and fired 3,074 shots.
The conduct of each vessel in firing was admirable.
The same letter contains the following lines relative to
the landing of the I6th to spike the guns, and throw
them into the sea :—‘ Seven in the evening—Our boats
hare returned. Not a soul had remained in the town ;
all the pieces were spiked, and thrown into the sea ; it
was nothing but a pleasant spree for our sailors. Several
shops well stocked with goods were open ; the Prince
forbade in the severest terms, to have anything
touched.' "

The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that
the subscription for the Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
road is entirely filled up in London, Paris, and

may ho excluded from the adjudication by the Com-
mission. Afterwards there will only remain the
Company of the Comte d'Anthouard, who would then
obtain the concession.—Courrier de l'Europe.

THIS IDA Y'S NEWS.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
About a dozen interim orders in cases of insolvency
were down for hearing before Mr. Commissioner Fane,
but as they were unopposed, they were totally devoid of
interest.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Price was placed before Sir John Key,
charged with the following daring robbery :
Thomas Little, Aldersgate-street, said that, as his
father and himself were going home last evening, the
female at the bar came up, caught him by the leg with
one hand, and pulled his watch out with the other. She
passed it immediately to a confederate, who made off
with it. He (complainant) caught the woman, and gave
her into custody. The watch had not since been found.
Police-constable 203, said that he had observed the
prisoner a little before the hour at which the robbery
took place, standing with thieves and other bad cha-
racters near Skinner-street. lle also observed her go
up to the complainant. When hearing the cry of "Po •
lice," he ran up, and was informed of the robbery. Her
companions had gone. When searched at the station-
kouse, the watch was not found upon her. She denied
knowing anything about it.
Sir JOHN KEY, to the prisoner—You hear the charge
against you ; I will remand:you till Wednesday, and if
the watch is not forthcoming on that day, I'll send you
to Newgate.

iiOYALIIT TO SCOTLAND.
EMB2UKATION OF HER MAJESTY AND

PRINCE ALBERT AT WOOLWICH.

It being known that her Majesty was to embark at
an early hour this morning at Woolwich, on her
second visit to Scotland, that place, not-
withstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather, presented an animated appearance. It
was announced that the royal embarkation would
take place at an early hour, and this, together with
the dull and gloomy appearance of the morning, pre-
vented a greater number of spectators from being
present than would have been the case under other
circumstances. A very large concourse was pre-
sent notwithstanding, and amongst them were seve-
ral respectable ladies, who were anxious to catch
a glimpse of a Sovereign, whose private virtues
add a lustre to her sex 2nd her throne. About ten
minutes to nine o'clock, the Royal party passed by
Greenwich, where the church bells rang out their
merriest peals, and the Greenwich pensioners were
drawn up at the back of the Hospital on one side of
the road, and the boys of the Greenwich College were
drawn up on the other side. The Royal cortege
passed between, and her Majesty received a hearty
and enthusiastic reception. About nine o'clock
the royal carriages were seen to approach
Woolwich. Her Majesty and Princess Albert,
with her Royal Highness the Princess Royal,
rode in the first carriage, which was a close one,
drawn by four horses. The Prince Consort looked
rather pale, and if her Majesty was not altogether so
blooming and fresh looking as she usually appears, it
must be attributed to the rather short period which has
elapsed since her Majesty's illness. But though pale, her
Majesty appeared by no means delicate. Her Ma-
jesty and the Prince were dressed in mourning.
Besides the carriage in which her Majesty
rode, there were three others, each drawn by
four horses, containing the Earl of Liverpool
(Lord Steward, Viscountess Canning, Lady
Caroline Cocks (Lady in Waiting), and the
Equerries in Waiting to the Queen and the Prince.
As soon as her Majesty had arrived, a royal salute
was fired. Inside the dockyard gates the Marines,
under the command of Colonel Mercer, were
drawn up, and acted as her Majesty's guard of
honour, and the bands of the Royal Marines and the
Royal Artillery struck up the National Anthem.
There were also in attendance upon her Majesty on
her arrival three troops of the Horse Artillery,
under the command of Lord Bloomfield, the com-
manger of the garrison. The Earl of Hadding-
ton, the Honourable Sydney Herbert, who
had been superintending the arrangements for
her Majesty's voyage, together with the Earl of
Aberdeen and Sir James Clerk, were present when
her Majesty arrived. Vice-Admiral Sir William
Gage, Admiral Boys, Sir G. F. Seymour, and the
Hon. H. Coles and other officers were also in attend-
ance. Her Majesty was most enthusiastically
cheered as she alighted and proceeded to
the royal barge, which was steered by
Sir F. Collier, K.C.8., Captain Superin-
tendent of Woolwich Dockyard, to the Royal Vic-
toria and Albert steam-yacht, which was stationed at
a short distance in the river, and on which they were
received by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. Im-
mediately after entering the royal yacht, the
illustrious party descended to the cabin. The
splendid vessel had been prepared to start for
some time previous, and exactly at twenty minutes
past nine the vessel's moorings were left go, and she
proceeded on her course to Dundee. A royal
salute was fired as the royal vessel passed the
Arsenal, and the band played the National Anthem.
The Black Eagle steam-yacht, to the command of
which the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke was
specially appointed, followed in the rear of the royal
yacht; and, as he is the senior officer, the com-
mand of the squadron will devolve upon
him. Besides those vessels, the Eclair, the
Stromboli, the Blazer, the Porcupine, the Vol-
cano, and the Princess Alice, forming a portion of
the royal squadron, have already started for Scotland.
Sir Robert Peel was to have attended her Majesty,
but remained behind in consequence of the
illness of his daughter. In skis absence the
Earl of Aberdeen accompanied her Majesty.
As the royal yacht got under weigh the clouds, which
were threatening bad s eather, broke up, the sky be-
came brighter, and it a 3 it that beautiful
weather, which it has been remarked always coin-
cides with her Majesty's journeyings and processions,
was not to be absent from her on her second visit to
her dominions in the North.

There are some further arrivals announced this morn-
ing from Ichaboe, with cargoes of guano. It is stated
that there were about fifty ships in the neighbourhood of
the island waiting their turn to take in cargoes. By
common consent a code of regulations had been adopted,
and regularly carried out, for the ships to receive their car-
goes, in which the captains of all the vessels on the station
hare acquiesced. The fact is mentioned that where the
guano has been removed, and where virgin soil exists,
vegetation is most rapid. May it not happen that this,
and other islands in the same latitude, hitherto barren
as far as verdure is concerned, will be turned to account.
If we do not occupy it, some other perhaps will. There
is a good number of arrivals in the port of London re-
ported in the usual list to-day.
