The stoppage of the house OF Baron de j. Won
Haber,. of Carlsruhe, has caused great conster-
nation In the Grand Dutchy of Baden. The Gre
dit enjoyed by the firm was unbounded; hun
dreds of families will suffer from 1t, and other
houses must necessarily stop their payments if
prompt assistance is not procured to It, Ac-
counts from Carlsruhe, of the 9th instant, state
that many private individuals had come forward,
and the government had decided to guaranty a
certain amount of interest on loan, which
would enable the house to resume business
Three of the largest establishments in the Grand
Duchy OF Baden are dependent upon Haber,
namely, Kcrsler's machine mandatory at Carls-
rune, the woolen mandatory of Ettlenger, and
the beet-root sugar manudctory OF Waghause-
Ter. These three establishments are in -four
ishing condition. 1t is calculated that 10000
persons would be deprived of their livelihood If
the house of Haber did not meet with the de-
sired assistance.
The Gazette of Cologne states that an impor-
tant failure had taken place at Vienna; only the
initials of the house referred to are given-they
are E. E. s, Co.

Ireland.
The angel of terror has at length stayed his
| avenglng and in Ireland The accounts since
the beginning OF the year have certainly not
been teeming with horror previously.
Outrage continue to be more or less perpetrated,
but cold blooded deliberate murder seems to
have been checked by the vigorous proceed ings
of the executive. Following up his first procla-
nation, placing certain disturbed districts under
the dominion Of the new law, the Lord-Leu.en-
ant has issued a second, proclaiming the baro-
ny OF Longiord, and five parishes IN Letrim,
yle barony of Clanawley, in Fermanagh, Tully-
how, in Drumlane, and Lower Loughee, in Ca
van, under the new act Orders have also been
issued to disarm the people In several districts,
and the strlctest regulations are enforced re-
speeding the licenses TO possess arms under
the recent law. In some places contempt for
the proclamation has been exhibited by tearing
down the document from the walls; but we have
seen this often practised in civilized London,
and yet the spirit of anarchy has been pretty et-
fectually checked. We cannot expect that by
merely coerclve measures, the famished people
of Ireland will be filled with good things; all
that we hope from the late measures, Is, that the
demon OF mischief may be arrested in mis- eXter-
minatlng career, and breathing time may be az
forded to the lovers OF freedom and good order
to carry out such measures as may be devised
to repair the social evils of the country. The
repeal party, or rather pjrties, seem sadly en-
brolled, and at variance with each other and
the weekly rent of the elder establishment, not
wlthstanding the efforts made to recruit it's funds
HOurIshlnn he
broke out In the Irish party during the late ses
sion of Parliament, have not been healed; and
MIR. Grattan, John O'Connell, and Mr. Reynolds
have favored the public with some racy specl-
mems OF polite correspondence addressed to
each otaer. Actions at law are threatened for
defamation by these testy belligerents, and the
repeal agitation just now seems troubled with
the epidemic influenza, and is not in so flourish
ing state of health as heretofore. The general
distress OF the country has, doubtless contribu-
ted not little to diminish its strength aud re-
sources. The special commission, issued TO try
the prisoners committed for murder and agraran
outrages In the southern counties, was opened at
Limerick on th 4th instant. The Chief Justice
Blackburne made charge to the grand Jury sim
gulary Tree from polltica feeling, but expressive
OF the determination of the government vigor-
ously to administer and execute the existing
laws. Several capital convictions have already
taken place, and there can be no doubt that pun
ishment will inevitably follow. The new law,
relating to accessories before and after the fact,
by the strongly expressed opinion of the Judges,
seems likely to prove most conducive to the re-
preston OF crime, and TO the restoration of tran
guilty and security.
France.
We have received the Paris papers of the 18th
of January.
The speech of M. Guizot in the Chamber of
Peers on Wednesday, In the course OF the debate
on the address, is important, containing an
exposition Of the policy of the French govern
ment with regard to the movement now going on
for the liberation of Italy. 1t is to encourage all
the Italian Princes to grant nothing to the people
which they possibly withhold-to frighten
ton and infdelty, and thus to endeavor to bring
him into accord with Austria, and to justify
Austria in "taking precautions"-that is to say,
In overrunning Italy with troops to put down the
reform movement, II 1t cannot be put down by
any other means.
