The IRISH BRIoADE-FUDGE Our Irish cit-
zens have been for some time past engaged in hold
ing meetings, collecting money, and enrolling vo-
lunteers for an Irish Brigade, which we are told
will assume the task of berating Ireland from the
dominion of England. How this little piece of
business is to be accomplished by this Irish Bril-
gade, even If it were really contemplated to fonn
an armed force of such description here, and even
if its formation did conravene the laws of ma
lions, we have not been able to learn; for England,
as low she is, has yet little strength and be-
rides possesses a few vessels of war in her seas,
which th, Irish Brigade would find it impossible
TO escape. The fact is, that this tempest in
tea pot never did amount to much, and never
will. few hundred dollars have been COL
Iected, and when il is expended in battle by
the Irish Brigade, it will be in sortie on oys-
fers, roast duck and champagne, in one of the
fashionable eating houses, at which no blood will
be split or lives lost, unless the brigade drink TOO
freely OF the ammunition, and get TO fighting with
fsticufs among themselves. Loud mouthed pa
triotism has always been lreland's curse Ii was
by etemally talking of patriotism, that O'Connell
succeeded so well in leading the Irish mind, and
collecting the Irish pennies, the promise of pro-
curing repeal and we are sorry to find parties at
tempting the same game here Ireland needs not

reality for her redemption. She has men in her
midst, who fighting the good cause, not with
the sword, but with the pen; and the day is not
far distant, when victory shall declare for her,
without perhaps, the loss of single life, unless
she should be forced TO resort 10 the sword by
wanion aggression.

Observation-Disclosures MoNAaAs-CoNFLcT-
ING AccoUNTs.--In civil wars and dissensions the
bitterness and asperiw of one class of citizens
against the other is 80 great that neither party can
safely be believed in the painting it makes of the
conduct and motives of the other party 1t is pity
but it is too true, that men speak the truth
when they dip their pens in the gall of party venom
and political or other malice. Venezuela is now in
a state Of civil war We have published accounts
from both Sides but these accounts are SO deeply
tinged with political malice and misrepresentation
to betray to the most superficial observer the spi
rit in which they are written. We now publish in
this days paper another account from Venezuela,
protesting TO correct the of our former ac-
count; but this letter. also, regret to see is 80 ma
nifestly one sided and deals much in monstrous
accusations and mere gratuitous assertions, that
had we not already published the former account,
we could hardly have given place to this reply AS
it is, this, and every statement from that quarter,
ought to be read with much caution, and believed

The RELIGIOUS ANNIvERsARIEs.-The religious
societies that usually assemble in this city at
this season of the year, will commence their
anniversaries tomorrow, which will be con-
tinued throughout the week. These societies
always communicate, and give in detail much USE
full and valuable information, both statistical and
otherwise, on the progress of religion and
morality, both at home and throughout the
world, which is read with much interest. The
progress of the revolution in Europe will, doubt
less, form, this year, of the topics for de-
liberation We shall give full reports of the pro-
ceedings, and trust that the proper and re-
quisite accommodation for reporters, will be at
tended to, by such officers of the societies, as are
entrusted with the management of such matters.
The reporters of the press have, but too often,
son TO complain Of Careless if not wilful neglect,
in this particular; and their double duties between
their employers and the public, impose response
bility, which cannot be properly discharged in the
absence ofproper accommodation.

The New CONSTITUTION AND THE New CopF oE
PRAcTIcE.-New ideas, new principles, new codes,

humbugs, by certain quiet personages, who call
themselves philosophers looking backwards in
stead of forward. We have received several arti-
cles denouncing the new constitution, and the new
code of practice, in the severest terms, and point
ing out the blunders committed in these monu-
ments of politics and law We do not join in
these denunciations. We are generally in favor of
new ideas Of all kinds-at least for time. Every
thing new has something good about it. Give it
fair trial. like new hat or a new pair of boots,
wear them three or four times, and perhaps the
discomfort which first attended them may pass

Of boots, new hat, that they did not cause

same may be said of new constitutions and new
laws. Let US give them all fair trial, and then

WALKER AND CArTAIN FAr1o-Pepper, mustard and
cayenne, in literary correspondence, are not mo-
noposed by the War Department, or entirely con-
fined to General Scott or Secretary Marcy. We
have been furnished with a correspondence con-
nected with the Treasury Department-or rather
that which is half naval and half Treasury-which
presents some curious symptoms that even throw
into the shade the bitterness and eloquence of
recent military literature. In another column
will be found a letter addressed by Captain Fato
formerly of the revenue service, written on the
occasion of his dismissal from the service, by
order of the Secretary of the Treasury. This
letter. though only coming from subordinate
in the naval service, is written with far greater
talent, acumen, and accuracy of language, than
even the celebrated letters of General Scott In
fact, Secretary Walker, who is so mighty man in
the literature of finance, never to make blum
der under five millions of dollars in his calcula-
tions, has not yet found time to make reply to
the epistle in question. The Secretary has been
Just as effectualy shut up he WILL probably shut
up the treasury, if he continues longer to make
such splendid blunders in his calculations should
the Mexican war be renewed.
Captain Fatio is, as we have already intimated, a
native, we believe, of Philadelphia. After receiv-
ing an excellent education, with many accomplish
ments, he spent some time in the commercial marine
of his country, where he united naval with literary
requirements. lie was the author of the famous
song, "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too" and possesses
a very remarkable genius, with much originality in
song making, as the collection of verses, which we
published the other day, sufficiently prove. He
was appointed to the revenue service under the ad
ministration Of Mr.. Tyler but as as it was
cettaned, at the White House, that his politics and
poetry did not square with the tastes of that asy-
lum for poor politicians, he was dismissed, the
mostpaltry excuses from the service of the country,
without why or wherefore. In the letter, which
we publish this day, the whole statement is given,
and given with great accuracy and nice dis
elimination. Captain Fatio, in his correspondence
with the Secretary of the Treasury, has succeeded
much better than General Scott has done with the
Secretary of War; but the one has troops of poli-
ical friends, which prevents the President from do
ing all that he would like to do; while the other is
ahoat on sea of troubles and has no one to sustain
his cause, or influence the ruling powers in his ia
vor. He must, therefore, suffer in penury and poe
try, all the penalty Of differing with Mr.. Polk and
his magnanimous Secretary of the Treasury. On
the whole, however, we believe this Is only a new
sample of the extraordinary meanness to which
the present administration descends, in its desire
to CRAFTY the most paltry passions. Will no bold
and independent member of Congress, in either
House, take up this case, and have it ripped up from
ton to bottom!
