The Brazilian corvette Maria Izabel has arrived at
Falmouth in 56 days' passage from Rio Janeiro.—The
Marquis de PALMA is arrived. This Nobleman, though
a Brazilian by naturalisation, is a member of the ancient
house of OBIDOS, and a relation of the Royal Family of
Portugal. His mission must be of a most important
nature. The corvette was at Terceira, which island she left
eight days previously to her arrival in Falmouth. She
met the Miguelite squadron before Terceira, where they
had been lying for ten days, without making any demon-
stration of attack.

When we transferred into our columns, without any
comment, the singular charge of Mr. Justice J EBB, at
Armagh, it was only to remind ourselves that it could
not be passed in silence. In the whole course of our
experience, we do not remember any thing from the
Bench to compare with it, as a specimen of partiality
and unfairness. The Learned Judge, after congratulating
the Grand Jury on the improved state of their ca-
lendar, as compared with the former Assizes, ad-
verted more immediately to the political state of
the county; and—making no secret of his own
orange bias, and prepossessions—dashed intrepidly in

?nedias res. " You are all aware"—said the Hon.
COURT to his astounded auditors—" that the recent
mischiefs originated with certain processions customary

in this

1, which it is my duty

to declare are NOT, in themselves, unlawful. They
were in commemoration of an event dear to every

real friend of religious and civil liberty, and
of the last importance to these united countries : to
put a violent stop to them would, therefore, be
acting in direct violation of our free Constitution ;
for, abstractedly taken, THEY ARE-I REPEAT-4Aw-
rLT L." If a design were entertained by the Government
to goad into rebellion that already subsiding population,
in order to justify its recurrence to penal coercion and
sanguinary statutes, they could not have adopted, nor
devised a plan so certain of success, as to direct the
Judges and Magistrates entrusted with the execution
of the laws, to expound them in the spirit and lan-
guage of Justice 3EBB. The very echo of such
accents—before the passing of the Duke's Bill
would ould have been the signal for a Protestant massacre :
and if the learned Judge can utter them with impunity
now, he owes the privilege to a moderation most unlike
his own. But in speaking of the Catholic resistances to
these Orange commemorations, the Judge continues:
" Such meetings—the object of which is to disturb the
public peace—are unquestionably in themselves unlaw-
ful." No;. not the public peace, Mr. Justice JEBB—
it is not their object to disturb that; on the contrary :
but to rout the disturbers of it, andfor aught that we
know—perhaps your Lordship among the number ! But
we are glad to see that Mr. O'CONN ELL has got hold of
this case, and that he is determined to bring it before
Parliament. If an example—and a signal one—be not
made here, who shall blame Ireland if she burst into a
conflagration ?
Mentioning Mr. O'CONN ELL thus incidentally, we
cannot refrain from expressing our satisfaction at the
tone adopted by him at Limerick, in answer to his
health at a public dinner. Alluding to his future
Parliamentary career, the Honourable and Learned
Member said : " I shall belong to no party : in short,
I know no set of men with whom I could coalesce."—
The

is right : he can ouly be unsuspected

and efficient, alone.

We read an extract in the Courier of Tuesday from
the Caledonian Mercury, in praise of Mr. PEEL. The
writer premises, that nothing—upon the uhole—has
struck him as more remarkable, than the crying injustice
done to Mr. PEEL. Not being so sensible of this ourselves,
we went through his elaborate essay with much atten-
tion, in the hope that some merit lx4Onging to the Right
Hon. Gentleman.—which had escaped us—had found its
chronicler in theratedonian. But we could not discover,
at the conclusion of his panegyric, any justification for
a better opinion of the Home Secretary, than we already
entertained. Indeed, in one or two passages—those,
especially, in which his name is coupled with Mr. CAN-
NING'S—we thought, the zeal of the northern eulogist in
advance of his judgment. Surely, it was a dangerous
juxtaposition—PEEL and CANNING ! And then, to call
the latter his illustrious friend !" It was as unnecessary,
as it was impolitic. All the country knows that Mr.
PEEL cherished against Mr. CANNING animosities,
which hardly the grave extinguished : it is even said,
that when specially invited to attend the funeral of that
lamented Statesman, the Right Hon. Secretary declined.
Let us, then, hear iio more of hi. friendship with Mr:
CANNING : it MWStrbe by sympathies better confirmed

those which are here so impudently arrogated, that

PEEL can acquire any consideration with us. His
conduct on the Catholic question has established a
claim to our forbearance, but in no wise to our
support. Nevertheless, when we have considered
that it is the only piece of patriotism which his
exasperated friends have been able to substantiate against
him, we have suffered it to cover a multitude of sins.
But we have given Mr. PEEL ample credit for his
liberality on that score already, and must come at once
to the essence of these reflections : namely, that there
is nothing else, which we could have given him credit
for ! We hope he will soon go to the LORDS.
We do not, however, affirm that the Right Honourable

Gentleman is without his fair importance in our
opinion, because he is incapable as a leading Minister.
Certainly, we would not have the constitution at
his mercy—neither to interpret, nor to administer :
but we think him unrivalled, as an official rou-
tinist. If a season of domestic extremity occur—and
we copfess that we are preparing for the worst - Mr.
PEEL is one of the last men whom we could see with

satisfaction at the helm. There is no confidence in Mr.
PEIL, neither for his principles nor his ability : but we
are speaking this only with reference to times of trial.
So long as the Noble Duke's Cabinet shall endure,
eo usque we may make shift with Mr. PEEL : but
when the great break-up arrives—not of the Cabinet,
but of that on which the Cabinet rests—we muse have
firmer and surer men.

What is the reason, it has been inquired of us in
several quarters, that—holding the sentiments which we
notoriously do—we have made a compromise with the
actual Government ? It is not so : but there is a wide

difference between the feeling of sound and sincere ob-
jection which we entertain, and the perpetual iteration of
factious and violent clamour. The real work is to be
done without noise :

Smooth runs the current, whet the stream Is deep.

It is not a transitory or partial excitation which we desire
to raise ; no county insurrection, no metropolitan tumult
—for what could such avail, when the lawgiver and the
soldier are one? Where is the MILITIA, that tower of
internal strength to the people ; that propugnacalum
against oppression, the constitutional force of the empire
—where is it? Why is that disbanded, and
a large regular army kept on pay in a season of
peace, when the militia could do all the duty?
And this New Police Establishment, officered by mili-
tary men, and organised into troops and companies—
the gift of Mr. PEEL to his country : pertimescimus dona
ferentem I But enough en passant.—The men, whose
game is with mobs and leaders of mobs, cannot compre-
hend us; but we shall soon be felt and feared in more
important places. The gloom which prevails in the City
is more likely to deepen, than to clear away ; and the
least untoward event in the commercial world might pre-
cipitate a general panic. If Ministers can get through
the coining winter without an emergency, they must be
reckoned fortunate : but the moment they confront the
country again in Parliament, the storm will begin to roar.

Don MIGUEL is putting himself to a great deal of un-

necessary trouble. It appears by Lisbon Papers to the
Bth instant, received this day, that the Alcitda have re-
ceived his command to proceed in the trial of several No-
bles, distinguished for their patriotism and love of free-
dom—all of whom are happily out of his reach. Among
these are the Marquis de PALMELLA, who is now here ;
and the brave Conde de VI LL A FLOR, who sets Ml° ism.
at defiance in the island of Terceira. Females as well,
are involved in the despot's exterminating proceedings.
The widow Donna EUGENIA CANDIDA DA FONSECA
MENDEZ, for security's sake, is taken out of the prison
in Lisbon, and put in the prison of Oporto. It is satis-
factory to know that " the amiable darling" of the old
Queen is beginning to feel the throne of Portugal sliding
from beneath him.
