SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—Mr. O'Connell's speech on Wednesday,
last, on the motion of Alderman Keshan for a peti-
tion to Parliament for the restoration of certain pri-
vileges to the Corporation of Dublin, has one or two
points which, at the present juncture, we are
unwilling to let pass without notice. Though
the Learned Gentleman has, perhaps, no fault
more glaring, or more mischievous, both to him-
self and to those whose interests and feelings
he represents, than his habit of speaking somewhat
at random, yet there are occasions on which he gives
utterance to what all who know him may at once re-
cognise as his real sentiments—the guiding principles
of his conduct, when unaffected by any merely
momentary impulse. On such occasions his words
have a weight with liberal-minded Englishmen
which goes far to counterbalance the ill effect
of his less reasonable appeals to the peculiar views
and prejudices of the majority of his countrymen.
We are not, as a people, and Mr. O'Connell knows it,
unwilling to hear reason, or to do justice. The real
battle of Irish rights has always been stoutly fought
by Englishmen, and by none more strenuously or
constantly than ourselves. Mr. O'Connell cannot
'low look back upon one of those achievements in
behalf of his country, upon which his fame rests,
without perceiving that he has in each case owed
much to English aid, and more to an English sense of
justice. It is therefore with regret that we notice
his having, on the occasion referred to, and upon a
subject which offered no particular inducement to the
use of inordinately strong language, made such a de-
claration as the following :
" The reason lie (Alderman O'Connell) rose was this
—although he thought it right to pass the resolution,
isud to bring the proposition before Parliament, he con-
cp;eed it would be exceedingly wrong if they were to
induct the people to believe that they would succeed.
The thin,: was too reasonable and too just to have the
slightest pro,-Inect of success."
Ireland has mtlch to complain of—she has been
deeply wronged —and the remedial measures which
justice and sound policy combine to point out fcr
adoption by the Government have encountered fla-
grant neglect and opposition under the Tory
influence which originally generated the wrong.
But this influence has also been injurious to
England. For the last quarter of a century we
have been struggling against it with constant
perseverance, and but varying success. And who
shall say that Ireland has had no share in the good
results? What was it that made the demand for
Catholic Emancipation, always just, at length irre-
sistible? The increasing prevalence of liberal sen-
timents, and the growing strength of the Liberal
party in England. To the same cause, in a great
measure, may Mr. O'Connell attribute his pre-
sent possession of municipal power in Dublin, as
well as a large share of the legitimate influence
be now has in the affairs of Ireland. It is not,
then, because the demands of Ireland are " reason-
able" and "just," that they are not attended to.
On the contrary, it is because they are so that they
have ever had the sympathy and the strenuous aid of
the English Liberals, and have been attended with a
much larger measure of success than could otherwise
have been reasonably anticipated. But though Mr.
O'Connell says these things, we are willing to believe
that he does not entirely mean them. And when we
read such passages as the following, from the same
speech, we are still induced to hope that he will ad--
dress himself to the task of Irish improvement in a
more hopeful, more pi•actical, and more worthy, be-
cause less exclusive, spirit :
" He (Alderman O'Connell) bad brought himself to
the conviction that one- half of the expense of the Pav-
ing Board could be saved by an economical management
of the business. The Corporation had it for centuries,
both when it was Catholic and when it was Protestant,
until it was taken away hand over head during
Peel's Administration, fur he was really the Adminis-
tration while he was secretary in this country, and
that is part of the jurisdiction of the Corpora-
tion which they have a right to have restored to
them. If the experiment were made for a few years
under the corporation, with all the vigilance that would
be exercised on both sides of the house—for on that
point they were all thoroughly agreed—he thought that
one-half of the expense of the Paving Board would be
rayed. The enormous salaries paid to the present offi-
cers would, for instance, be saved, and the citizens of
Dublin would he disburdened from a very great quan-
tity of the local taxation."
And again, in reference to a more general view of
the subject ,___
" No reason could be given why they should not get
a considerable quantity of the powers that were pos-
sessed by the former corporation. They ought to get
as many of them at all events as the English cor-
porations had and if there was a real practical union,
no ditlerence would be madebetweent them and England
jn this respect, and what Englishal corporations
g-ot the Irish corporations shoulde
sor;y to delay the corporation so get. lie was
losnotteon a subject
that was unavailing, but he hoped day would
speedily come when the echo of the. voices
St would reach
the ParliNment House, and when the n;, 7
sympathy woald be established between anti
Legislature."
Here we most cordially, agree with Mr. O'Connell.
" A real practical union between the two countries
is the one thing needful. Of this the English public
becoming every day more thoroughly
ere con-
vinced ; and Mr. O'Connell may be assured that no
man in her Majesty's dominions has it in his power
to sip more towards strengthening that conviction,
Ir: WS P .more
it a practical and beneficial result, than

THE YARMOUTH MURDER.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The case of the late Yarmouth murder does not
cease to perplex those who are connected with the
administration of justice in this place. The precautions
that have been taken, the great exertions which have
been made, and the many reports which have been in
circulation, if they do not prove unavailing and false,
are far from having led to those satisfactory results
that are so desirable in ja case of this sort. Royal,
Hall, and Mapes have been committed as principals,
but as the facts and circumstances of their alibis be-
come investigated, doubts arise at every step, as to their
having any part in the affair, and even Yarham's guilt
has not been so much confirmed as reports proclaim.
It is not true that in a note to his wife he com-
municated anything of importance. These are
fabrications, as is also the report that Mapes
had confessed. There is even a doubt as to whe-
ther the stains said to be on the panel of the
boards, where Yarham's coat hung, be those
of blood at all. Indeed it has been examined
by several intelligent persons, and chemists
of reputation, who pronounce it not to be blood ; the
private proceedings, therefore, of the magistrates
have produced only idle conjectures, false reports, and
injurious consequences. The prisoners will probably
remain in Yarmouth gaol till the Assizes, and then
they will be brought to Norwich for trial.
There is, however, reason to suppose that two per-
sons at least have been connected with the affair. The
watchman on duty about that part of the Denes
where the money was found, speaks to seeing two
persons distinctly, shortly before one o'clock, on a
small hillock of sand, beneath which the bag was em-
bedded. He says he saw them together by the light
of the sky in the back ground, and that he went round
to the spot he expected they would come to, in order
to turn his light upon them, but he saw no more of
them. The footmarks at this place were said by Mrs.
Deck to correspond with the shoes of Mapes, but it is
altogether impossible to speak with accuracy to the
impressions of the small nails in the sand, and that
after fourteen hours. The footsteps exactly corres-
pond with the shoes of Yarham, but there is no
person at present found who saw him out that night.
