LATER IRON ENGLAND.

Halifax papers received by the COrdelia,

Der. From them we extract the following:
FALMOUTH, Eng. Dec. II.
The apprehensiOns which were last week
entertained of a continental war, have nearly
sutsided. 1t would appear that this aItera-
ton in public opinion throughout Europe mas
been principally effected by change OF MN
istrv in this country, and by their declaration
Of nor. interven.iOn and Of their desire to pre-
serve universal peace. which they made on
their annointment. 1t cannot he concealed
that considerable distrnst Of the Duke Of Wei
lipcton's non intervention policy was grnera'-
~ entertained throughout Europe. He was
thought to manifest too strong a.prediIectIon
fof Instrumentation the rights Of the few. in
preference to the rights of the many. Our for
Sign details are more than usually interesting.
The incendiary outrages which have been
committed over SO great portion OF the

Doubt not, will show that the laborers were
not alone the guilty parties. In many cases

rousing their landlords into sense Of tl1Nif
distressed state in consequence of high rents
and tthes, with low prices for their produce.
If this he correct, and we believe it is, then

duce their rents, and the clergy their tithes.

minds Of the government and the Legislature

ment will certainly follow. The institutions
of our country will be regenerated, and long
reign Of peace and happiness, will in all prob
ability be the consequence.
The cause of Reform in Parliament is gath
ering an irresistible force, and it must soon be
granted, or as Earl Grey says, it will he taken.
The public interests demand it, suddenly it
is dangerous. A few years since, and the
man who av0wed himself Ref0rmer, stood
a sclf,branded revoIutionist in the estimation
of men who now, through their fears, see no
safety for the country but in such reform
as would formerly have been demanded only
by an uItra-re formist. Such is one instance
of the complete revolution that sometimes
takes place in the minds of majority of a
nation. Large meetings have been held at
Edinburg and Sheffield, at which petitions for
parliamentary reform were carried with ac-
CARNATIONS.
We learn from Copenhagen that an expe-
