EXCITEMENT IN PARIS. —The Times of yesterday says,
The situation of public affairs was, in fact, deemed so
Tious in Paris, the question of foreign policy had become'
so vomplicated, that persons in-the daily habit of seeing'
M. Guizot pretended to observe already—that is, at the'
expiration of four days only since his return to town, Si
marked change for the worse in his appearance."
In the new parliament there- is a smaller number of
persons connected with noble families, and a smaller num•
ber of country gentlemen, than in' any previous parlia-
ment. On the contrary, there is a greater number of
railway directors, engineers, and contractors, of barristers,
of merchants, of retail tradesmen, of political writers and
lecturers, of naval and military officers.
A letter has been received in Paris announcing that the'
Due tie Nemours had narrowly escaped being killed in
shooting party, which took place on. Wednesday, in the
forest of- Compiegne. The Duke received several shots
in the head, and was, according to the-statement, stunned,
but the accident was not attended with any fatal conse-
quences. The intelligence conveyed in the letter was not
credited in Paris.
AUSTRALIAN WHEAT.—The vessel-Kilmann, arrived in
the docks from Port Philip. has brought, with a general
cargo of Australian productions, 1,031 bags of wheat ; and
the vessel Malcolm, arrived from Adelaide, has brought
6,090 bags of the same description of grain, the produce
of Australia. These arrivals of wheat from Australia are
interesting items among the importations of grain from
distant parts of the world.
A TIMELY HlNT.—Last week our-town-crier received
a letter from London, enclosing a shilling, and ordering
him to make the following announcement :—" By direct
authority.—The bakers are forthwith to lower their bread
to the standard of wheat in Mark-lane. God save the
Queen.—London, Sept., 1847." The crier performed his
duty, and, singularly enough, the bakers reduced the
price of bread, which they could very well afford to do, on
the very same day, observing that they were glad Mr.
Mark Lane- had orders from the Queen to make the re•

A NEW EFFECT OF THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH:"
The various wires of telegraph beginning to intersect so
many sections of our country are said to have a decided
effect upon, electricity. That eminent scientific man, Pro'
fessor Olmstead, of Yale College, states, that as the storm
comes up, and especially when over the wires, say fifty or
a hundred miles distant, the lightning is attracted by the
wires ; which can be proved by any one remaining in the
telegraph office for half an hour. About the time the!
storm is coming up, the wires are continually filled wit
electricity: It is my opinion, he says, that we shall never
have very heavy thunder showers, or hear of lightning
striking, so long as we have telegraph wires spread over
the earth.—American Paper.

EARL FITZWILLIAN ON THE STATE OF IRELAND.— I
It has always appeared to me, whether sitting in parlia-
ment or in, great meetings of Englishmen, whether in
town or country, among the aged or the young, that there
is marvellous ignorance of the state of that country (Ire-
land), and of the deep calamity which has oppressed it.
It is marvellous to hear some persons ascribe its state to
the conduct of man rather than the inscrutable designs
of Providence. To the latter lam disposed to ascribe it.
Without entering into other questions, there is no doubt
that a great failure of the food of man has been inflicted
on that country by the will of the Almighty.—(Hear,
hear.) It is the duty of every individual proprietor in that
country—for the relations they bear to the people are
somewhat different to what is found here even in the re-
lations of such large proprietors as the ford of Hallam-
shire—to alleviate the distress as much as possible. But
they cannot remove it altogether, because they do not pos-
sess the means to fill up that deep cavity which has been
made. But if it be the duty of individuals to do as much
as they can for the inhabitants of their individual estates,
let me suggest to you whether. I, the owner of so many
hundreds or thousands of acres in the county of Wicklow,
am bound by this duty—is it not your duty, as English-
men, to regard the whole of Ireland as the estate of
England ? Whether Ireland has not a right to look to.
England as her landlord. If particular districts have a
claim upon their landlord, whether Ireland at large has not
a right to look to England as her landlord ? (Cheers.) I
say this, because one little word slipped from my learned
friend,---he spoke of Ireland being aburden upon the people
of England. Ido not find much fault with the expression,
nor with the tone in which he used it. But it is often used
on this side St. George's Channel in a tone which I deeply
regret, because it has a tendency to blind men's eyes and
blunt their feelings as to the extent of their duties toward
that country. You have advanced some nine millions to
Ireland during the last year, of which four millions have
been given and the rest lent. Now, I read the newspapers
sometimes, and I see a deal of credit taken for generosity,
not for the four millions given, but for the four or five
millions lent. I must observe, gentlemen, that generosity
is not the virtue usually ascribed to .a money-lender. The
money-lender expects his money back with interest, and
therefore has no great claim to the credit of generosity on
account of the loan. But, gentlemen, I beg to start this
question, whether the conduct of England towards Ireland
has not made her a large debtor to Ireland ? How many
acts of parliament have been passed to discourage the
agriculture, and destroy the manufactures of that country ?
Agriculture has been discouraged, diminishing the value
of property, and manufactures have been put down to
appease the jealousy of England. To Ireland England
owes a large debt, not only a moral debt, but a pecuniary
debt. The four millions given are nothing like the
amount of the debt, if properly estimated, as the result of
your legislations—Recent Speech at Sheyield,

Billingsg, , Sept. 9, 1847.
