THE TREASON PRESS.

Reasonable people might naturally suppose that the
sanguinary scenes enacted in the streets of Paris within
the last week would have cooled the ardour of the Irish
revolutionists and alienated men's minds from the con-
templation of a similar calamity in that wretched country.
Those, however, who expected an amelioration of tone in
the organs of sedition will be grievously disappointed. So ,
far from condemning the atrocities perpetrated in the ".
French capital, one of those journals (Mr. Gavan Duffy.'s)
points out a mode for effecting the purposes of the Irish
Communionists, which, if attempted to be put into oper-
ation, would inevitably lead to results as disastrous and
as fruitless as those which followed the late convulsion in
Paris. In as plain terms as can be written, the Nation
calls upon the peasantry to pay no rents, and to hold the
growing produce, estimated to be of the value of
£80,000,000, in their hands, for their own use and bene-
fit, and that if any landlord, or owner of property, should
say " Nay " to this audacious proposition, the answer ,
should be given by a pike-point or a bullet. To the same
tune, and with the same ferocity, screams the Irish
Tribune. In an article, headed " Blood for Blood," the
Tribune distinctly calls for the wholesale extermination
of the Irish aristocracy :
" Scourge the spoilers from our coast, exterminate the
English despots, and crush with them the anti-Irish
aristocracy for ever."
In answering a correspondent who signs himself "A
Pikeman," the Tribune says—
"We are surprised at your question ;we thought every .
man of your corps had a correct list of the packed jury-
men. If not, here it is to renovate your memory."
The inference from this must be obvious to the meanest
capacity. _

In the " war department " of this treasonable print the
women are recommended to provide themselves with
barrel hoops, each of which is to be smeared with turpen-
tine or other inflammable matter, then set fire to and
thrown horizontally "on the red-coats, whose bayonets
would very conveniently serve to catch it, and thus allow
it to pass over their necks, when it would do its business."
This brutality has not even the questionable merit of
originality, being but a bad imitation of a worse model. _

The second number of the Irish Felon was not published
until an advanced hour in the afternoon. Its tone is com-
paratively moderate; and although Mr. T. F. Meagher is
added to the list of contributors, beyond schoolboy decla- •
mation and a little harmless ranting, there is really nothing
very objectionable in any of the articles—certainly nothing
that evinces a desire, on the part of the writers, to reach
that goal of martyrdom for which there was such hot com-
petition a few weeks back. Even for this slight symptom
of returning sense we here ought to be thankful. Mr.
Devin Reilly has not followed up his one-sided correspon-
dence with Lord Clarendon, as he promised to do. Mr.
Morton's name does not once appear in his paper; and
Mr. James Lalor's letter contains merely a proposition for
the establishment of a monster club, a sort of military
organization, of which the Felon office, in Trinity-street,
is to be the centre and citadel.

The Countess De Grey died in London on Sunday.
The Roman catholic bishop of Leighlin has strongly .
denounced the ultra doctrines of the repealers.
The slight enthusiasm created by the first announce-
ment of the " Irish League " is fast wearing itself up.
The extension line of the South Western railway, from
Nine Elms to Waterloo-road, is on a lofty viaduct of 300
arches like those on the Greenwich line.

The Prince de Joinville is dangerously ill at Claremont,
of a liver complaint, said to have been contracted during
his stay in Africa.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean take their benefit at the
Haymarket Theatre to-night, when her Majesty and the
Prince Consort have intimated their intention of honour-
ing the performance with their presence..
The annual distribution of prizes at the London Uni-
versity College, took place on Saturday. Lord Brougham
presiding. The senior French prize was awarded to John
Thornley, of Liverpool.
A HEARTY WELCOME.-It has been asserted, says the
Limerick Reporter, with a good deal of confidence, "that
the Queen will visit Ireland in ten days. If she comes to
open the Irish parliament she is welcome. If not she had
far better stay at home."

A vessel arrived at Hong Kong has brought the intelli-
gence, received from the master of an American whaler,
that during a typhoon off the north-west coast of China,
seventeen American whalers have been lost with their
crews.

NATIONAL CONFEDERATION.-At a meeting last night
in North Toxteth Ward, a committee of the ward was
appointed to co-operate with this body. A long discus-
sion took place on the subject of direct and indirect taxa-
tion.

CAUTION.—A Court of Queen's Bench jury, directed
by Lord Denman, have found a verdict with damages of
£lO against Mr. Flint, a draper, of Oxford-street, Lon-
don, for having turned a lady of the name of Palmer from
his shop, on the suspicion that she was a shoplifter.
A correspondent of Jerold's Newspaper points out the
absurdity of the Irish with their "foreign enemy :" When
Lord Lyndhurst called them "aliens," they weregrievously
offended. Englishmen only laugh at being called "foreign-
ers" and "enemies," knowing that they are Toot so, and
that only the ignorant portion of the Irish think so.
The second amateur performance, in aid of the fund for
the endowment of a.curatorship for Shakspeare's• house,
took place in the Birmingham theatre, on Tuesday, and
was attended even more fully than on the first occasion.
The play was the "Merry Wives of Windsor," with the
same cast as it was played in this town, with the eXceP",
tion of Mr. Leech, who appeared as Slender.
eirSPECTED POISONING.—Much sensation bag 'been
excited at Harwich within the last few days, by the .tate-
ment, that a hawker, named William Constable, had
been poisoned by his sister of Wicks, a village near that •
town. He died after a day's illness, and his sister had
entered his name in a burial club as only thirty.-eight,
although he was fifty-five. He died after one day's ill-
ness, with all the symptoms of poisoning.
Messrs. Brodie and Brodie, the late bankers at Salis-
bury,- passed their last examination at the Court of
ruptcy on Friday. The balance sheet presents debts66,ooo.
liabilities to the extent of £134,500, and assets of X . -
Ws. in
so that there appears a prospect of between Os. and Ist of
the pound for the creditors. The deficiency on the
January, 1845, in the bank's accounts was 62,000. -un'
note circulation of the establishment was not more than
£23,500.

The state workshop project of Louis Blanc turns out
more costly scheme of communist philosophy for France
than was ever anticipated. Grey calico shirts, it is stated,
made in the ateliers nationaux of Paris, have been offering
for sale at Brussels and Antwerp for several days past.
These shirts cost two francs thirty centimes each to the ,
French republic (say about ls.• 11d.), and were sold at'
eight francs ten centimes each to a great Paris house,
which was seeking to place them abroad.
TESTIMONIAL TO BISHOP LEE.—Mr. GUtteridger
like all prophets in their own country, is not successful in
Birmingham in his attacks on the character of Dr. Lee.
At a late public meeting at that town, it was resolved to
present the right rev. prelate with a testimonial of the
good wishes of the inhabitants, on the occasion of his
leaving the neighbourhood. A service of plate, weighing}
twelve hundred ounces, and estimated at the value 0'
£750, is the result of this resolution. It consists of a can'
delabrum, a plateau, pair of wine coolers, salad bowl, ice
bowl, large salver, and a tray.
WOMAN DROWNED ON DUDDON SANDS.—A young
woman, named Maria Archer, was drowned last week,
while crossing these dangerous sands on her way to Hole'
house, Millom. It appears, though the water in the '
channel was low, she encountered one of those treacherous
holes which frequently entrap passengers. She was seed
from the Lancashire side of the sands to enter the water,.
but was never seen to emerge. A bundle and a basket
belonging to the unfortunate woman were picked up, but
the body has not been found. She was about 26 years 0'
age.—Preston Guardian.
THE ORANGE ANNIVERSARIES.—The Repealers of
Newry, Old and Young Irelanders. have suddenly found
out that the July commemorations are no insult whatever
to Catholicity, nor in any way inconsistent with the prin.;
ciples upon which the Irish Confederation is based ; an
with this new-born view, they call upon their "fellow
Repealers" to abstain from evincing any spirit of oppose"
tion to the intended processions. Nay, so transported ere
they with Orangeism, that some of these converts to King
William and the Boyno water have actually offered te
fraternize—to blend the orange and green—and march
together at the approaching anniversary, to the inspiriting
air of " Croppies lie down." The hook is ingeniously
baited, but it is extremely doubtful whether the wary fish
will be induced to bite.
IMPORTANT COUNTY COURT DECTSION.—A case, ill;
volving a decision of some importance, came on in thlf
court, on Monday. David Rowlands, cart-owner, ,e,„
Toxteth-park. appeared for his discharge and protect
on his petition to the court. Mr. Yates, jun., oPP°,.e
the application on behalf of the creditors, and stated, vlit
an examination of the insolvent subsequently substantiati_jo
that Rowlands, who, itwas contended, was able to pay ail?
creditors in full, had some timebefore presenting hisi:Ttitto r
to the court, parted with all his property to a relative le
the purpose of defrauding his creditors. His honour re"
marked with severity upon the nature of this transactions
and adjourned the case to Tuesday, in order to afford Wu
insolvent an opportunity of restoring the property. '111;
arrangement not having then been made, his Honour de-
arrangement
dined to name a day for granting the final order • end the
this decision the insolvent's property is vested in ay;
official assignees of the court, and the insolvent hinise'
riot protected from process against his person. s the
MRS. MITCHEL.—A HINT.—A correspondent 0" hlic
Nation suggests that "Mrs. Mitchel should attend Pa
meetings in different parts of Ireland, and address the be,
calling aloud for vengeance on those who caused her and
reaveinent—use reproach for cowardice and tepidity 00
work on the passions and feelings of all by her apPee,rs,,el
and complaint—telling them why it was that John great-
was sent in chains away, with all the minutiae of the "rue
ment he received, and implore of them to prepare en,
blow for Ireland and fallen humanity. Such a woreos,
thus agitating, like Joan d'Arc, or the Maid of Soragepa
in such a cause, would lead the most apathetic nation 4 A
a child ; but, in Ireland, the effect would be as that ugul
lighted match to a mine. But not to Ireland alone trd be
her labours be confined. France and America eheu'by
visited in like manner; and, thus, I do believe, her
woman's tongue, would England, notwithstandiefobed
strength, her pride, and wickedness, be totallY er
and broken in a short time.'
