In the British Press of this day (see our Kr-
tracts from the London Journals), is a well-timed
and just rebuke to the Irish Nobility and -Gen-
try, who, in London, look alone to the British
Government for relief. They pray to Hercules
for assistance; and, if they themselves were to be
the only sufferers from their supineness and imbe-
cility, it would be well if Hercules satisfied himself
with directing them to exert their own strength to
extricate them from their danger. The Irish land-
owners and the Irish Magistracy have much to
answer for, in the calamities which afflict their
country; and while we approve the frankness
'With which the Dublin Correspondent admits
that the Magistrates, as a body, have disappointed
the expectations which were entertained by Go-
vernment and the country,—that they have,
by the misconduct of some, and the supine-
ness of others, involved the country in a state
from which it can only be extricated by the
firmness anti wisdom of the supreme Execu-
tive Poweri—we cannot withhold our appro-
bation of the temperate though severe re-
hake which the British Press has given
to the absentee landlords, with whom, and the
Magistrates, the odium of the present unhappy
State of affairs may fairly he divided. The Dub-
lin Correspondent is a Ministerial Paper—the
British Press writes in support of Opposition,
though without any of that coarse invective and
libellous scurrility by which the Opposition
Journals of the day are too generally distinguish-
ed and disgraced.

A more wicked, abominable, canting article
could not be written, than appears in The Chro-
nic4' of to-dayo repetition, indeed,of its sentiments
of yesterday : it talks of Government embodying
the yeomanry of Ireland as a measure of danger-
(Pas tendency ;—because the yeomanry corps,
(says The Chronicle) are chiefly, if not altogether,
Protestants, therefore they must be Orangemen:
Here is a specimen of Chronicle truth and mo-
desty, and justice ! This is a precious ex-
ample of its good wishes to Ireland; evident-
ly endeavouring most insidiously to move one
faction against another. Does The Chronicle
mean to persist in stating the Yeomanry Corps
in Ireland to consist only of Protestants ?
We will expose its hard-hearted falsehoods, if
it does. When has The Chronicle acknowledg-
d that the higher Catholic Clergy and Catho-
lic Laymen have had meetings, to suppress the
riots now existing there ? Never ! Why not ? The
reas" is too evident to render it necessary to
Point it out.

BaTcwroN, Nov. 28.—The KING has not yet
aPPeared iu public; but we are happy to say
that his MAJESTY IS in a most excellent state of
health.

L°lllo BYRON.—We are informed by a Gen-
tleman who moves in the higher circles of Oppo-
sition, not as one of its advocates, or as a Trim-
mer on both sides, but as an impartial observer,
that Lord BYRON recently transmitted to this
country a satirical Poem, the object of which is
to place in a ludicrous point of view his MA -
EsTY's late visit to Ireland. It was not, it
seems, intended by the Noble Author that the
1-oern alluded to should appear in print, as he
Probably followed on this occasion the practice
of Sir Benjamin Backbite, who says," as my little
productions are mostly satires and lampoons on
Particular people, I find they circulate more by
giving copies, in confidence, to the friends of
the Parties."—But we understand, with respect
100 the Poem in question, that a mode has been
adopted which is certainly au improvement upon
the plan of Sir Benjamin, as the new Poem is
read at the houses of several Noblemen, by way
of a political desert, after dinner. We are of
ion, however, that if the Author of the Poem
had been in Ireland at the time of the Royal
visit, and had witnessed the advantages which
tne Country will derive from his MAJ ESTY 'S
Zannsel if attended ta, when the present un-
PPY disturbances are at an end, he would not
have employed his Muse in ridiculing what was
certainly wisely intended by the Sovereign, and
What we trust will eventually produce a conci-
liatory spirit throughout the Sister Island. The
Noble Author has most probably been set at
Work by insidious spirits, who have taken ad-
vantage of his absence, and consequent igno-
rance of the real state of affairs, to deceive him
with false information.
Prince LcoroLD of SAXE COBOURG passed
through Nuremberg, on the 17th instant, on his
: Way to Italy, to join the Princess, his mother.
On Tuesday night Count Cor,concno set out
from Chandos House, charged with dispatches
from his Excellency Prince ESTERHAZY, for the
Court of Vienna.
Recent letters from a British Nobleman state,
that many emigrations from Naples were daily
taking place during the last month'among the
Young men, for the express purpose of joining

We understand that the contribution of 1001.
to_ the subscription for indemnifying Sir ROBERT
WiLsoN, which appeared in The Times, in the
name of OTTI WELL NV 008, Esq. is an error, and
Was inserted in consequence of a forged letter,
Purporting to be from that Gentleman.—( Leeds
