 The Messrs. Earrings, of London, have un- dertaken the construction ofthe Canal across the Isthmus of Darien. It is to be contem- plated in five years.
 In the House of Lords, when the question of Irish affairs was debated, the Duke of Wellington delivered himself of Q ~charac- teristic and important speech, Insthe course of his speech, the Duke uttered these words, always memorable:" "The only remedy which can be adopted for that people, on the partof government.

 FATHER MATHEW IN L1vERPooL.-The great Apostle of Temperance, as the Rev. Theobald Matthew is termed, is at present in Liverpool, where he intends remaining fewdays, during which he twill be busily en. gagged in advocating the principles which he has hitherto so successfully promulgated.-- On Saturday, accompanied by Mrs. Jack son of Whitehaven, also atemperance lady, he addressed a crowded audience at the Liver Theatre in that town. On Sunday he preached two sermons at St. Patrick's Chap el in aid of the School Funds, administering the pledge after each service. Monday and Tuesday were also to be devoted to the same good purpose at the several Catholic places of worship in the town.

That vigorous and vigilsrit old despot, the pasha, has been com pelled, by the advance of years and the pressure of iniirmaties, (which for years he has endeayored to copccal,3
 'To shake all care and business from his age, 2 Conferring all upon the younger strength of his grandson Abbas. Him he empowers to act in his stead and to succeed him, to the detriment of his own son Ibrahim, an inva. lid. eAIn the event of Pasha's death, this ar- rang cement may issue in serious tur'noii,as Ibrahim and Abbas have a long and deadly enmity to satisfy, and as each of them is sup ported by numerous and influential partisans. The Pacha's choices however, is amply jus tifed, for, if we mistake not, recent travellers describe Ibrahitn us a man who indulges in the grossest ezcessess.nnd associates with the lowest classes of society. 8
