PARLIAMENT.--We learn from Will
mer's American News Letter, that the session
OF Parliament has been practically brought 10
a close, though there has been no propagation,
both Houses having adjourned to the begin
ming OF the ensuing month, in order to allow
those Of the judges, who are now on their re-
spective circuits, time to make up their iudg-
ment on the Writ Of Error, moved by O'Con-
nell and bis fellow prisoners. 1t is supposed
that this judgment will be unanimous in favor
OF the Crown, and that the government having
thus been empowered to show that the repeal
agitation is decidedly unlawful and that the
bare attempt TO dismember the British empire
will not longer be tolerated, will shortly release
the prisoners from their confinement, where,
however, they are enjoying "health wealth,
peace and happiness" Some of the repealers
in parliament have solicited this as a boon,
whilst others, like many of their consiitu-
ents, have demanded it as a right. The for
mer have been censured by O'ConnelI for their
mean and craven spirit, whilst the repeal jour
nails have loudly supported the latter, and G.
WINGED strong desire to obtain the end sought
for by intimidation rather than by submission.
The repeal association continues 10 hold its
meetings unmolested, but the oratory is of
very harmless kind, and has no effect whatever
upon the multitude, who are as quiet as posi-
ole, whilst the rent is gradually becoming

Heytesbury has been cordially received as the
new Lord Lieutenant, and is seemingly in a
far way of becoming public favorte, especi-
ally Tor his encouragement Of Irish manuiac-
lures. Ii is reported that the Queen will visit
the Green Isle in the course OF the autumn, a
compliment which would afford great delight to
all her Irish subjects. The government mean
while are doing all in their power to remove
the real grievances of the country, and they
can do more in this respect, than any other
ministry could accomplish. Some of the re-
peal leaders have talked about permitting the
association to lapse into new club, TO be styl-
ed "the club of 1872 but this is looked upon
generally as only preliminary to its entire dis
solution.

on leave OF absence for two months, from his |
diplomatic duties in Spain. Afier a short stay
he will pay visit to London.
Firth Of The Prince.-Speaking of the re-
cent accouchment of the Queen, and the birth |
OF Prince, an English paper says "The
event is personally and politically subject Of
congratulations, as it strengthens the stability
OF the Grown, by providing another pledge for
ITS continuance in The direct euccacSion aud
creates the more homely sympathies of all class
es OF the people in the domestic character Of

whether the infant is born Duke of York. or
will have that title awarded to him by creation,
or that of the Duke Of Kent, the dignity of
Her Majesty's late father. Prince Albert, it
seems, calls him duke of York, SO we suppose
that IS confirmatory of the hereditary right
at all events, by whatever style or title the
young FRINGE may be known, we have little ap-
prehension that his education will be any other
than shall enable him worthily to occupy the
high station which he may hereafter be called
upon TO fulfil, and which would contribute 10
the happiness of Her Majesty's private life,
and the safety, honor and welfare of the Sove-
reign and her dominions''

account of the ''retiracy" of the Pacha Me-

some Of the most interesting events of re- 4

Try, feeling of regret--akin TO taking last
farewell of dear friend -involuntarily comes i
over the mind. Motives of state policy dictate .
the act-the establishment, firmly, of his own !
dynasty during the few remaining years of his
career. Some jealousy is entertained in Eng
land at Ibrahm's partially for France, and
when the news reached London the funds were I
slightly affected. But this is straning, by an i

Great Britain, through the instrumentaiity OF !
her immense Eastern possessions must contri-
