day. In lot 47 long. 10.30 she fell in, on the Bth,
with the schooner George, abandoned ; it was blow-
ing too hard to hoard her, but had her crew remained
in her, she could readily have reached England. This
is the vessel about which we have seen in the papers
of the week a long story of shameful conduct on the
part of the Sea Bird brig, for not giving her assist-
ance. We suspect the required none, and ought not
to have been abandoned.

The Beacon, from Leghorn, arrived here on Thurs-

posal of the Council of Administration of that establish-
ment (by the Admiralty) as a reward for merit and
proficiency in studies. By this appointment we learn,
for the first time, that the Admiralty officially sanc-
tions a tax on the parents of a Volunteer of the Ist
Class of from 401. to 50/. per annum to pay his mess
and expenses—not all of them necessary.
The Earl of Wilton's yacht, Xarifa, has been hauled '

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
The Marriage of Figaro was performed for the
first time this season on Saturday night. The only pro-
minent change in the cast was, that Giubilei took the
part of Almaviva ' • and, as far as regards the music,
acquitted himself well. He executed the difficult
scenic in the opening of the second act very satisfac-
torily, and his voice in the concerted music harmo-
nised well with the others. The two principal females
of the opera were represented by Miss A. Kemble
and Miss Rainforth. The former has quite recovered
fr:ini her indisposition, and certainly never sang bet-
ter. Her deportment, however, is defective : it is to-
tally devoid of elegance—more so than last season,
and in many instances was below that degree of re-
finement which ought to belong to Susannah. Su-
sannah, it is true, is a lady's maid, but she ought to be
a lady-like lady's maid, and not quite so coarse a per-
sonage as Miss A. Kemble sometimes made her. If
the manners of a domestic are to be assumed, is ought to
be apparent they are assumed. This is only a mistake,
because Miss A. Kemble's habits and education have
been such as to qualify her to fill characters of the
highest rank in society. Her execution of the music
is quite unequalled on the English stage, and if we do
not include the Italian, it is out of deference and ad-
miration for such artistes as Grisi and Persiani. Miss
A. Kemble must be content with being considered
our finest English singer. We must tell her also that
she has a little affectation of speaking with a foreign
accent, especially when she has to say anything
particularly lively or pointed. Her most perfect
effort was the canzonet in Act 1, " Voi the sapete."
Miss Rainforth was too tame and inexpressive, as if
she was afraid of exerting herself. It does not follow,
because her name is in small letters in the bills, and
Miss A. Kemble's in large, that she ought not to
strive to show that she deserves large letters as well
as her competitor. " Sull Aria," was repeated at the
earnest instance of the whole house. The opera
went off extremely well. The house wa-, fully at-
tended, although the benches were not crowded.

Mr. E. have been informed that the
individual to whom the country is indebted for the in-
estimable advantages of the cheap postage, has just
been dismissed from his situation by the Government.
Mr. Rowland Hill is no longer to have even a share
in the working of his own plan. This announce-
ment being in accordance with an intimation made
in Parliament towards the close of the session,. may not
occasion much surprise ; but we are greatly mistaken if
it does not excite throughout the country feelings of re-
gret and indignation. The proceeding is one so discre-
ditable to the Government, that we can hardly under-
stand how it should have been sanctioned, as it must
have been, by Sir Robert Peel.—Morning Chronicle.
INCENDIARISM AT SYSTON.---WC regret to state
that a stack of barley, belonging to Mr. M. Sheffield, of
Syston, was discovered to be on fire there on Tuesday
morning last, and that there is but too much reason to
consider that it was wilfully and maliciously occasioned.
Indeed we learn that the person in custody, John Bel-
lamy, has admitted the fact. He was fully committed
for trial on Wednesday by Mr. Heyrick. We are cre-
dibly informed that the prisoner has stated that he was
prompted to the deed by feelings of revenge, as he as-
serts that a son of the owner of the stack maintained an
illicit intercourse with his wife, under the roof, and with
the connivance of her own father and mother.—Leices.

ALLEGED SUICIDE AND SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A
JEw.—During the whole of yesterday a good deal of
excitement prevailed among the Jews in Petticoat-
lane, Bell-lane, and their vicinity, occasioned by the
death of Ilyam llyams, one of " their people,"
h(), it was alleged, had committed suicide, and
who was discovered dead in his bed at two o'clock
yesterday morning. It is stated that on Wednesday
last, being the day of atonement, and a day of strict
abstinence, as well as a holiday among the Jews, the
deceased attended Synagogue with his family. After
leaving his place of worship, he proceeded to the
neighbourhood of Old. Ford, where it is said he had some
bread, meat, and beer, and having been seen by two
persons of his own persuasion, enjoying his repast,
lie was much jeered about it by a number of persons
who were made acquainted with his transgression. This
circumstance, it is said, preyed much upon him, and
yesterday morning his wife found him dead by her side.
She gave an alarm, when police constable II 181, en-
tered the house, 5, Bell-lane, and found close to the bed
a handkerchief, with a noose in it, and the medical man

him, and knew nothing of the means by which her hus-
band destroyed bin's-CIL Au inquest will be held on the
body this day.

IRISH POLICY OF THETRESENT
--- - uOVE.RNMENT. - H- - -
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sins—At this season of oomparative political re-
pose, when the attention of the public is not occupied
with the proceedings -of the Legislature, it is worth
while to take a rapid sketch of the system of Govern-
ment which the present Administration has pursued
to reards Ireland since its accession to power.
When Sir Robert Peel last year became 'Premier,
and was securely installed in office, with a powerful
majority at his command, it became a question of no
small importance, how Ireland was to be governed ?
In 1839, when the Melbourne. Ministry resigned upon
the Jamaica question, Sir Robert Peel made an effort
to form an Administration, but was unable to succeed;
and, when stating to the House of Commons the
causes which led him to abandon the attempt, candidly
confessed that the greatest difficulties he would have
had to contend with would have presented themselves
in the government of the ' Sister Isle. He did not
attempt to disguise the fact, and it was too
apparent that lreland was the rock upon which
he feared his party would founder, and that,
however skilfully he directed the:helm, he would have
incurred the risk of being dashed to pieces upon the
turbulent billows of Irish :politics. Had Sir Robert
Peel dissolved Parliament at that period, he could But
have relied upon obtaining so large a majority as he
now commands, and with but a small majority to sup-
port him, he would, to a certain extent, have been
impeded in his course, and could not have assumed
towards the ultra-section of his own party, that inde-
pendent line of conduct which he adopted, without
any modification, throughout the whole of the last
session.
He also may have called to mind that. his Govern-
ment in 1835 was unable to bear the defeat it sus-
tained on the Irish Tithe Bill, that the result of the
Emancipation Bill dislodged him in 1830, and that
Lord Grey's Government, (which its most distin-
guished member, Lord Brougham, pronounced to be
" too strong,") was first enfeebled, and ultimately met
its death-blow from the pertinacious and most impo-
litic line of conduct adopted by Lord Stan-
ley in : forcing upon a reluctant Cabinet
that most harsh and unconstitutional measure,
the Irish Coercion Bill. In the position he
then occupied, Sir Robert Peel was therefore fully
justified ie declaring Ireland 'to be the great stum-
bling-block to power, although, at that very period,
Canada had scarcely retitrned to her allegiance, Ja-
maica was almost in rebellion, and our relations with
America were anything but satisfactory.
In 1839, the relative strength of the twogreat parties
in the State was widely different from what it was in
the autumn of 1841. At the latter period the Whig
party had sustained a signal defeat, and their forces
had been completely routed at the general election.
Into the causes which led to this defeat I am not
now called upon to enter. The result we have seen
to be a majority of 90 to the Conservative party,
which for practical purposes renders the present op-
position almost perfectly helpless. This over-
whelming power, collected together by a eombina-
tion of very different elements, at once recognised
Sir Robert Peel as their leader, and to his guidance
and discretion entrusted the interestsrof their party.
But the hopes entertained by the Irish Orange party
proved very fallacious, and were destined never to be
realized. At the very outset they got a glimpse of
the future policy which they werei tinoisteexvpvt
In to
the
adopted by their " Heaven-born
formation of his Cabinet, Sir Robert Peel excluded all
the Irish bigots; and in the various appointments of
a secondary charabter he took good care to select
those only who were distinguished for the moderation
some of their opinions. Colonel Percev aI, by
f,
mis-
chance, was nominated one of theLordso the Trea-
sury; but, as it is generally believed, owing to a pro-
test from Lord Stanley, which does honour to the
Noble Lord, he never was permitted to enter Down-
ing-etreet, and, in a lucky moment for himself, was
presented with the mace of the House of Lords.

whoiii never lived a more exemplary man,

secret was out—lreland was not to governed
by • means of a Faction ! The Juste Milieu policy
be
was to be adopted, and the Executive was
to be com-
posed of men who had nothing' of the leaven o
Toryism, but who had sympathies with the great
body of the people, and who mould have the moral
courage to give full effect to that system of Govern-
ment which o would consult the wishes, and even
the innocent prejudices 'of the Irish nation. That
Sir Robert Peel would determine in limine to pursue
a conciliatory course, must have been apparent to all
who gave any consideration to the character of
the Premier. kis prudence, sagacity, and extreme cau-
tion, all combined to demonstrate to him the impolicy,
if not the futility ofany attempt to coerce the Irish people
into submissive obedience—such a course,
if adopted,
would have called forth a spirit of resistance too for-
midable to contend with, and would have roused all
the moral strength of the country ! The• voice of
agitation could not have been hushed ; the whole
social system would have been disorganized, and wide
spread disaffection must have ensued. These were
evils which no Minister could wish to grapple with,
much less to call into existence.
Immediately upon the formation of the present Go-
vernment, Mr. Otway Cave put a question to Sir Ro-
bert Peel in the House of Coinneoes, as to whether it
was his intention to introduce the Registration Bill
of his colleague Lord Stanley. A negative reply
was given by the Premier
; and no stronger indica-
tion than the abandonment of
this measure, which
tended so much to the break up of the Whig Minis
try, could have been afforded of the spirit in which
Ireland was to be governed. Gaming events cast
their shadows before. Lord Elicit, following out no
doubt the instructions of the Cabinet, has held the
even tenor of- his course, nothine• daunted by the
rabid denunciations of' that party of7whieh the Dublin
Evening !fail is the organ. lie seems bent on
steadily pursuing that line of conduct
boldness and energy to carry out, and evinces every
disposition to give effect to those principles which he
so broadly laid down to hiS constituents when last he
solicited their suffrages. He is of course assailed in
terms of vituperation and insult by that party, which,
galled to the quick in being perMitted
ex-
ercise any influence at the Castle, see no longer to
in Lord Eliot a,
most unflinchingsfoe to those deep-laid machinations,
insidious intrigues, and schemes of personal •aggran-
disement they had plOtted with such care, and which
they so confidently hoped to have carried into execu-
tion through the instrumentality of the Noble Lord.
Where now is there influence ? - Where is that poWer
they were destined by themselves to Wield? Gone,
gone, never to be restored.
At the present time the conflict between the con-
tending parties rages with greater virulence than
ever. The elevation of Sergeant Jackson to the bench
has occasioned a vacancy hi the representation of the
University, and each party has its Candidate in the
field. All is turmoil, excitement, and irritation: The
peaceful groves of Academe resound with the noisy
clamours of political strife, and the Porch is de-
serted for the conflicts and tumults of the- forum.
Hamilton stands forth the champion of the Orange
party—the avowed, undisguised, unmitigated opponent
to that system of education which has bestowed such
signal benefits upon the Irish people ; a systein which
has tended, beyond all other measures Ye. s
proposed,
to elevate the moral condition of the Irish people, by
inculcating habits of conduct and industry such as
distinguish a civilized community from a horde of
sensual, ferocious, and superstitious savage, There
is, however, a party which would gladly' deprive the
country -of the blessings of • this measure, and
would rejoice to see • the gleam of its
pure
rays clouded by the inists of
ignorance
or extinguished by the darkness of gross superstition.
The Anti-Education party, with the opposition to the
paltry grant to Blaynooth College, is the ,watchword
of that party which supports Hamilton—a party
which comprises within itself that section which Lord
Stanley, in his bitter earessm, denounced as " the
miserable remnant of ati expiring faction "—which
has enrolled under its banner all those who have
deeply quaffed the stream, Polluted by the !mephitic
waters of religious bigotry and intolerant fanaticism.
It is said that the Primate heads the party . ~ if so,
it is a grievous fault." The head of the Protestant
Church ought to ponder well before he gives
his adhesion: to, or countenances by his support,

levery angry and ambitious hand. The "erimate is
bound to guard 'with zealous care over tb e safety of
the Church, and should be the last to use Vie influence
of his sacred calling., in marshalling her • focces to ob-
struct the salutary effects of measures wb ich are sealed
with the approbation and approval of •nine-tenths of
the Irish people. These are not the ti caes when the
Irish Church can afford with impunit yto exasperate
or excite into hostility those who disser it from her doc-
trines ; and most assuredly, she ought to ' for-
bear from entering upon a co• arse q action
which must inflict upon her best interests"a heavy
blow and great discouragement." I, ord Eliot; with
becoming spirit, and with due. COL sistency, has re-
solved to oppose Mr. Hamilton's e/ ection, and most
heartily do I wish him success. Nc . better make could
have been selected than the Solicitor -General, the son
of one of the most distinguished of ' Irishmen, whose
name is conspicuous in that galaxy, of genius which
shed a halo over that age in which it shone with such
brilliant lustre. A man of illustriolL s talent, unsullied
honour, and inflexible integrity, Si r William Cusack
Smith, the friend and companion of ;..Edmund Burke,
was nut surpassed by any of his reit( w caned contempo-
raries in splendour of imagination and richness of
sentiment—possessed of a most refin ted taste, which
was adorned by all the graces of class le literature, lie
excelled all the orators of his day in the harmonious
structure of his periods, and in giving 'those beautiful
turns of thought which are amongst t he happiest ef-
forts of oratorical as well as poetic sl till. It might
be said of him, as Grattan said of 8u....k e, "That he
spoke with the lips of an angel."—" Quiz iti Hortensii
admodum adolescentes ingenium, ut PI tie !iae dignum,
siwul adspectum et probatum est."
The Solicitor-General has in himself ' claims of
the first order upon the College electors. He
has studiously avoided giving his support a t any time
to the ultra Orange party, and although h e has never
hesitated to avow his principles, he has alw: ys evinced
great moderation in his opinions, and has n ever given
expression to a sentiment which, by his gm' istest poli-
tical enemy, could be tortured into the lang wage of a
factious partisan. He cannot be denied to hold the
first rank in the profession of which he is so bright an
ornament; nor can any member of the Irish
bar be named who is more highly est e. emed or
more universally respected in his pu Hie ' and
private capacity. Let him take a fir 7.n stand,
and he will not fail to rally to his support .311 that is

the Solicitor-General, whose return win most as-
suredly give a death blow to that party: which for
