If there is one Member of Parliament distinguished
above others for his benevolent and patriotic intentions,
-figthe industry and research he has bestowed on his
subject, and for the perseverance with which he ender'•
yours to ob t sin attention to it, it is Mr.Wii.r4OINIIMITOiI;
yet he has again failed to nblain.the assent of the H • s.
to a Resolution affirming the expediency of Emigtarine,.
n twithstanding the highest authorities in political eco-
nomy,inclading the tit:cc leadingßeviews, are with him,
and although tile sentiments of Ministers are for the most
part in accordance with his own. Time is undoubtedly
required byGriver nment fot consideration of the question,
hut it should, at the same time, not be forgotten, that a
long time has elapsed since Mr. WiLstoT-Hoarost
,srutight forward his plan, and that the condition of the
Irish poor is daily becoming more wretched and dreadful.
!'he apathy of the Irish Members is really astonishing;
we scarcely hear one of them advocating even a Com.
mitire of Inquiry, though evidence has been given
befoie. the House,•that the Irish peasantry are living in
a state not a degree better than that of bruits. The
tenart of the wretched hovel wallows all day in his
filthy cabir, then stretches himself and crawls nut to'
devour his potatoes, and relapses into his lethargy for
the night—and it is said that nothing can be done to
raise this degraded being to the condition of humanity !
Nor is it Ireland alone that is concerned—lrish paoper-
ism has taken root in England, and begins to under-
mine the subsistence of our. own labotileir. The English
Poor Rates last year had increased. nine per,cent. over

understood that the Duke r f WELLINGTON and

made considerable progre-s in the negotiations with

A t e, utation of Merchants trading to Oporto yes.
tet dry was Ltd on Alderman THOMPSON, as one rf the
City Members, expressing their astonishment, as well
as their anxiety, at the alarming notice from the Fa
reign Office, posted up at Lloyd'c, announcing that
Oporto was blockaded by an efficient force, by order
of- the Prince Regent of PORTUGAL, and at the
•ame time begging the Worthy Alderman to use his
best endeavours immediately to obtain from Ninia
tees, in the House of Commons, such explanations
is would enable the public to understand in what
'point of view this official notice was to be taken. The
Worthy Alderman expressed his apprehension that
oa Wednesday there was little chance of any of the
principal Members of the Cabinet being present
In the House, but he promised to comply with the
wishes of t',e merchants at *the eatliest opportunity is
his pottier. He requested at the same time to be tar-
nished with every information that might serve IS a
guidance on this important subject.
It would app?at as it those persons who object to the
Duke of WELLINGTON as a Statesman merely on the
ground of his being a military man, had never read the
history of their own country ; if they had, they would
have knowo that military talents were so far from
being incompatible with civil wisdom, that some of
the greatest .and wisest Statesmen which this mum
ever produced were familiar with the discipline ef
camps, and renowned fur their exploits in the field.—
The founder of the English Constitution, the Great
Atreus, was a distinguished warrior, and delivered
the country • froth foreign enemies by his word,
betore he established its peaceful prosperity i.n the
basis of enlightened legislation. Homy the Seaman,
an intrepid and skilful Chieftain. displayed great
and original talents for Civil Gavel:merit, as the Con-
stitutions of Clarendon," which were framed by him
for the purpose of repressing, throughout the tellm
rf
England, the inordinate ambition of the Poet, suffi-
ciently manifest—EDWAßD the Vasa', who on ac-
count of his abilities as a legislator, obtained wad sie•
served the name of the " English JUSTINIAN,'' was
a successful warrior; as was also Enwaito the THIRD,
who, by sanctioning the abolition of the °shout and
tyrannical doctrine of to constructive treasoll," merits
"the gratitude of the English people to the mil t
remote ages. On the contrary, under the pusillsns-
MODS reigns of such weak Princes as RICHARD the
SECOND, EDWARD the SECOND, JAMES the FIRST,
and some others, who were certainly clear of the
imputation of soldiership, and like many talkative
Statesmen of Modern times, had neither energy nor
decision of character, the greatest encroachments
were made upon the liberties of the subject, and
the most dangerous doctrines were converted into
law. In Caostwara, we have another instance of
man equally distinguished in the arts of war and pen&
WILLIAM the Third, under whose auspices the Contii-
onion was restored, had great capacity and discrttion
'in the management tf civil affairs. The Duke ot MARV
1101101143 M united to the talents of the first General of his
age those of an able Minister. Need we multiply in-
stances ? These few examples, out of a great number
which the history of our own country affords, may
suffice to satisfy any reasonable mind, a mote senseless
objection could not be raised against the Doke ,
WELLINGTON as a Minister, than that which arises out
of the circumstance of his having successfully oar
ananded the armies and preserved the liberties of his
,country.
We have authority to .say, that the paragraph cupid
from a Moaning Paper into the STAR of the 19th int!:
slating the law proceedings in the Conic of Arches et

to Lieutenant

apartmeas which look into the quadrangle on one side
are completely furnished, and Vie fursiit lie is of the
most splendid description. There is mt, perhaps,
io
the world a suit of moms so magnificently chcorattif as
they prese L The paper hangings ate covered with
void, and the silk hangings aie wrought in pannels
made on purpose. The flowers and hot rs consist of
a species t f embroidery never t)eio•e s en in this ci u -

In his Majesty's beditioni there is a bath--in the cringe
stands the bed, whose destination is a rccess opposite the
fire-place. On the felt of the bed is a huge Gothic
window, and the bath is on the right. There are th-ee
doors in the room,one of which communicates with the
dres•lug Tonal. Another door opens to a private stair-
rase leading to the 'fen ace, and from throe,' to a pri-

The ceilings rf all the state apartments are highly
ornamented with gold. The windows are of sati.sib
plate glass, most of them five or sit feet high, and
shout three wide. There are four huge panes to each
window, made to lilt up, each pane being framed of
itself, slipping in a groove and lifting up separately, so
as to form a distinct window. 0.. e room on the private
staircase has a glass dome or lant4n, with oinannented
stonework of the fine•t texture, resembling fillagiee.
There are 300 room., requiting more than 400 set v ants
in constaht attendance. The yard of the quadrangle is
Banked by two galleries in two uf its sides.
• Some of the doors and double doors have five hinges
of exquisite workmanship. Prate glasses are fixed in
every door throughout the building, except vie bed-
looms. The flouting is done in oak, in imitation of
zrrtiaic. The Royal kitchen is !ivy large, a fire-place
at each cod, and arches for chimneys.
