repudiaiion at home. The harvest has in general
been good one throughout Ireland, but il is to be
lamented that there cases, and those not few,
where destitution still seems to hold dominion, be-
cause the people, laboring under depression of va
rious kinds, have lost almost all idea Of providing
for the future.
Our neighbor France is, we trust fortunate in
her harvest and i'll her commercial relations her
finances are, however, not prosperous. The state
of society is rapidly improving in the provinces,
but crooked politics seem to prevail headquarters
and they are tending to their natural resuls-dis-
comfture and disappointment The two points OF
interest to Louis Philippe are Madrid and Algiers.
AT the former the course of political events is any
thing but favorable to the wishes of the contriyer OF
the Spanish marriages and respecting the latter,
the late brilliant successes Of Abd-el Kader must
be far from gratifying.
Holland Belgium, the Baltic nations, (includng
Russia) and Prussia, are all prosecuting the peace
full arts, with the exception Of Russia in the Cauca-
sus, and the condition of the people is rapidly i'm
proving wise counsels govern the conduct of the
rulers, and moderate and proper expectations actuate
their subjects. The King of Bavaria has enabled
the notorious Lola Monies to play fantastic tricks
under her new title of Countess Of Saadsfeld. Aus
tria has already repented Of her interference with
Italy by the occupation of Ferrara. Both England
and France said to have demonstrated, and Prince
Metternich finds that he has taken false step. He
is preparing TO recede gradually, and has begun by
retracting his menaces. In Spain affairs have
tainly taken more favorable turn. The recall Of
General Esparero is the herald of better days, and
the formation of talented and liberal Administra-
ton, with the rejection of Narvaez and his French
policy, have given great hopes that Spain is about
to escape from her thraldom. The last news from
Spain is, that il has been decided that bill shall be
presented to the Cortes, Immediately upon its as
sembling, providing for the dissolution of the
Queens marriage, and also another bill TO change
the succession to the throne, after the demise of her
present Majesty, by revival of the Salique law,
which will, of course, exclude the Duchess de
Montpenser from the throne, and destroy all Louis
Phllippe's hopes as to the succession In Portugal
matters are in state quo. In Italy all is upon the
q,a piue. The Pope is every day increasing in po-
pularity and power. Sardinia and Turin, Pied
mont, Florence Milan, Pisa, and Lucca, all have
declared in favor of Italian independence and Be
il remarked that the hereditary Prince of Lucca
married the daughter Of the Duchess of Berri and
sister of the Duke of Bordeaux. This lady is said
to have had share in the events Of the day by
minding her husband OF the events which proved
fatal 10 her family in France seventeen years ago.
Lord Mimic is said to be on his way to Rome, not
as ambassador from the Queen of England to
the Pope, but as confidential friend and adviser
and quasi Minister. The revenues of his Holiness
are not in very prosperous condition. They
amounted last year to FL ,S95,720 the expendi-
lures were e. 100000.
There is nothing new in the theatrical world.
Jenny Lind is said to have been married at Man
chester to rich banker from Stockholm. This is
