THE NEW HISTORICAL NOVEL.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,
MAIDS OF II ONO U R ;
A TALE OF THE COURT OF GEORGE I.
" One of the best historical novels which has appeared for many
years. It is also unique in its kind and class."—Messenger.
" This will be the novel of the season. Everybody will talk stout
it—overybody must read it. It is a succession of amusing scenes in-
troductory of the extraordinary characters, male and female, who
figured at the Court and in the Councils of George I. and his hopeful
son and heir. The scenes are admirably painted, and the groups of
actors are disposed in a manner the most artistic and effective,
wbilst the dialogue sparkles abundantly."--Court Journal.

HIGII WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Morning .. 17 minutes after 2 I Evening 38 minutes after 2,

tions we would fain hope that the grant to Maynooth
may be received as an acceptable compliment. And this
brings us to the salutary fruit which, we trust, now will
be gathered from the rugged soil of hotly-contested
principles.
What is wanting to the pacification of Ireland, and
the extinction of those impracticable projects, and mis-
chievous aspirations which, under various designations
and pretences, have convulsed her social and political
existence, and organised and fostered nothing but a de-
structive excitement ? The unquiet phantoms of " re-
peal " and " federalism," must be laid. But the con-
senting desires and feelings of a whole people
are needed for this exorcism. Let those who
best know how to awaken those feelings, and to
appeal to those desires, concur in re-establishing the
reign of tranquillity and order, by showing to the English
capitalist that he may invest his money among them
without the risk of political commotion and severance•
Distinguished as Ireland is, above almost all the nations
of the globe, by the rare combination of advantages of
geographical position and fertility of soil—by noble
rivers, a well-indented coast, and capacious harbours,—
she boasts one excellence, in the moral constitution of
her people, which is yet more honourable and ;:dvan-
tageous to her. Their prompt enterprise and unwearied
industry, wherever occupation offers, makes the poor
Irishman the model of a cheerful, honest, and hard-
working labourer. Now, if the Irish gentry could only
prevail upon themselves to await the evolution of that
gradual but full measure of equal "justice to Ireland,"
which may now be anticipated from the course of
the Premier's legislation for that country, and which an-
ticipations, we will say, have from time to time been so
signally verified ; they would find, in the projection
and construction of new lines of railway, in the exten-
sion of their still infant system of inland navigation, in
the improvement of the bed, acd the estuaries of the
Shannon and other of their rivers ; in the enlargement
of old, and the building of new harbours and docks, for
which their coasts offer unequalled facilities ; and in the
more active and extensive prosecution of mining under-

takings (the rich returns of which the experience of the
last twelve years leaves no longer a matter for doubt or
kr depreciation) ;—they could find in all these ample
channels into which the superabundant capital of Eng-
land (now lavishly hazarded on the most insecure
foreign investments) might be induced, under the
guarantee of future permanent tranquillity, to flow freely.
The difference of this capital would secure to the re-
dundant, but now pauperised, population of Inland a
steady demand for all that surplus labour, whose hope-
less condition and accumulating amount hive
been, hitherto, the main causes of the mi,erj
and degradation of so large a community—
eager for employment, starving in involunt•+ry
indolence, and desperate from starvation. The
relations between landlord and tenant would find their
own adjustment on terms twenty times more beneficial
and lasting than twenty " Land Commissions" can over
hope to accomplish. The stimulus of " a fair day's
wages for a fair day's labour" would bring out all the
latent energy and spirit of the native Irish character as
one body of the people. The example and influence of
that prosperity which attends the secure and peaceful
occupations of commerce and manufactures, would unite
another and a higher class in a g, nerous emulation to
consolidate and accelerate those visible indications of the
reviving prosperity of their beloved Ireland ; and the
spectacle of such a people, thus thoroughly united for
the first time, during a thousand years—among them-
£6lves—would re-act, with a moral, a certain, and an ir-
resistible force on the Imperial Government, so as to
render their equality in the Legislative Union of the
two countries as unquestionable as it would prove in-
destructible.

According to some of the Paris papers the two great
parties in the State, at the head of which are M. GIIIZOT
and M. TRIERS, are actively engaged in preparations for
the general election, which is expected to take place in
the autumn. The Constitutionnel states that a great
number of prefects of departments have been summoned
to Paris by the Minister of the Interior to make arrange-
ments for that purpose. The Opposition, including the
Deputies of the Left and Left Centre and the Legitima-
tists, under M. BERRYER, have formed Committees to
watch their interests and stir up the electors in the pro-
vinces. The Committee of the Left Centre will be pre•
sided over by M. TRIERS, and that of the Left by M.
ODILON BARROT. It is therefore anticipated that there
will be no party contests of importance during the re-
mainder of the session. M. GulzoT had completely re-
covered from his sudden indisposition.
Several of the journals contain brief articles on the
Maynooth question. One of them, the Constitutionnel,
pays a high tribute to both parties in this great contest.
After alluding to the speeches of Lord JOHN MANNERS,
Mr. SMYTHE, and others, it says—their unexpected
defection from the old Tory politicans, and their support
of the measure, may compensate them fur the angry
attacks and insults of those journals which, the other
day, exalted Mr. IYISRAELL " Many of the Whigs,"
it adds, " do not hesitate to support the Bill, notwith-
standing the fact that Sir ROBERT PEEL had not hesi-
t ►ted to compromise his political existence by proposir.g
it. This disinterestedness of the two sides—this
devotion of public men, who sacrifice themselves
to the triumph of their principles--gives a character
to the debate remarkable for grandeur and elevation
of sentiment. It is mortifying to French Conservatives
to find Sir R. PEEL, a man of progress and conciliation,
not only far removed from re-action, but constantly seek-
ing to realise reforms which the situation of his country
demands. It is no doubt painful to our pretended Con-
servatives to suffer such a crushing comparison, and to
represent only the dark shade in the picture."
The intelligence from Zurich is to the 17th inst. At

the sitting of the 16th the report of the Federal Com-
missioners was read, in which they stated that they ar-
rived at Lucerne on the 13th, and immediately supported,
with the Government, the decree relative to the amnesty.
They also assured themselves, by the communications
from the governments of the cantons from which the
free corps had proceeded, that no such expeditions should
hereafter take place. S:xty young men under twenty
years of age had been set at liberty by the Government
of Lucerne, and 120 others were to be promptly liberated.
The following is the note sent to the Directory in the
name of the Sard;nian Government :
" TO COUNT CROTTI DE COSTIGLIOLE, ENVOY EXTRAORDENTARY.

" Monsieur le Comte—Although the King, our august
Master, is from principle, far from wishing to interfere in the
affairs of other countries, yet, in the presence of the events
which disturb Switzerland, his Majesty cannot refrain from
expressing his regret at so deplorable a state of things. The
neighbour of Switzerland, and having always kept up with
the confederacy the intercourse of a sincere friendship, the
King thinks he is giving fresh proof of the amicable feelings
that animate him, in communicating to the Diet his wishes
for the restoration of peace in that country.
"To attain so desirable an object, the sole means are, no
doubt, a sincere return to the principles that have for many
years secured the repose of the confederacy, that is to say,
that the cantonal authorities, such as the compact has
established them, be maintained, and that religious creeds be
sheltered from all attacks. It is by a respect for all rights
that fresh complications and the calamities arising from them
can be avoided.
" Such, Monsieur le Comte, is the King's impression ; you
will always suit your language to it. The sincerity of his
Majesty's views cannot be doubted. He can have no other
wish than to see tranquillity restored among our neighbours,
and Switzerland maintain the position which treaties have
assigned to her in the political balance of Europe.
" You are authorised to communicate this dispatch to the
President of the Diet.—Accept, &c.
(Signed) " SOLAS DE LA MARGUERITE."

In the Public Securities there has been again some flatness.
Consols for present transfer have realised 98% to 98%, and
for Time, 99 to 98%. The premium on Exchequer-bills
has been 595. to 575., being rather lower. Bank Stock has
realised 209% to 210 A, and India Stock 278. The New
Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 100% to 1007,5,
and the Three per Cents. 97% %. There are still a few sales

Ayres have been steady at 44. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have realised 63%.
With but few exceptions Railway Shares are rather cheaper,
and there is less business doing.

SELF, BY THE AUTHOR OF " "
CECIL. —The plan
of this new work, which will add greatly to the reputa-
tion of the anonymous writer, is quite unique. One of
the great families of the English aristocracy is con-
ducted through a period of 20 years, replete with public
and political interest ; and it may not be too much to
say of the execution of this plan, that it may be re-
garded as a valuable addition to the moral archives of the
country ; added to which, the story combines all the
sprightliness, wit, vigour, and originality that constituted
the charm of " Cued."
ANTWERP, APRIL 18...—The General Steam Navi-
