They seem to think if they trudge on in the same
style, there will be but little necessity for

by the middle classes, the 10th of April should not
be construed by the into expression of
blind adherence to all political measures that may be
proposed; but ought to be viewed desire to pro-
tect the national interests of the kingdom. None Of

which your readers cannot fail to be Interested shall
in my future letters be explicit in relating their pro-
ceedings Its assembling is not, as yet, publicly an
nounced.
Ireland is but in gloomy state the of repeal
being daily damaged by the incorporate conduct Of
those who the chief advocates of the of
separation between the old and young Ireland party.
At soiree held for the commemoration of some Irish
anniversary, the memory of the late Mr.. O'Connell
was unexpectedly alluded to. This raised the ire of
Of his partizans who set upon the
Messrs. Smith O'Brien Meagher, and Mitchell The
former of these gentlemen was very roughly handled,
and preciptate flight only saved the remaining two
from similar fate. The three have named, arc you
charged with sedition the trial is on but
has not began in earnest the prelmnares only having
been gone through. The general supposition is that
they will all be found guilty and transported Mr..
Brien formed of the deputaton to France, which
was so codly received by M Lamartine and his col
leagues Mr. Mitchell is editor and proprietor of the
United Hishman newspaper, in which journal have APP
peared most of the sedtous articles In consequence
of the bill which has lately received the assent of the
houses of Parliament for the better security of the
crown the publishers Of the paper refused to issue it
she has BEEN oSppeed to have his
proofs revised by lawyer before any publisher would
interfere in issuing it circumstance of similar
kind has not happened in this country for length Of
time, and it has created great sensation
have seen some official papers that have emanated
from the colonial Office upon the subject of emigration
to the British provinces Of North America They are
reported to be copies Of correspondence between the
colonial Office, the Governor General Earl Elgin Lieut.
Governor, Sir w. Colebrook, and Mr.. Mcrrivale. 1t
appears that the emigration system has been attended
lately with very disastrous consequences viz great
distress and mortality In the year lS47 there were
GSOo6 emgrants to Canada, more than seventh OF
whom died on the passage: The expenses attending
this f1o6oO1 los 3D. deduct from which receipts
to the amount of f43707 1Ss 4d, leaving excess
upon the expenses of f62693 los Id The papers re-
commend that an increased emigrant tax should be
mposed and also lay special force on the necessity OF
better accommodation being provided for those who
leave the country during the passage out. Your
readers will also be reoiced to hear that society has
already been formed in London under the title of the
Colonial Society for the purpose of rendering informa
ton to the press and the public upon all subjects con-
nected with the colonies 1t intends also to move the
colonial Office should any appearance of hardness
appear in their policy; and from the practical expe-
Renee ana aDlty OF the members composing com-
mittee, have little doubt but that it will become
very useful and in time most lucrative association
The political world is rather dull and languid at this
time The Easter has hardly been got over conse-
quenty sufficient time has not elapsed for the intro
duction of any measures of Importance. The only
matter of consequence that has been brought forward
and that excited but little debatc) the pro-
ceedng Of our government with reference to Spain.
GU will have heard of the facts by this time They
are briefly, that Lord Pamerston directed Mr.. Buwer
to suggest to the Spanish ministry certain line of
conduct The foreigners denied very properly the
m annn In "a nQfi aniI
las excited the ire of the English government to
crown ALL some'of the correspondence between Lord
Pamerston and MIR. Bulwer got into the columns OF
the Ciamor PubHco Spanish journal before it reach
ed the foreign embassy In the House of Lords it has
been acknowledged that Mr. Bulwer's actions were
unfortunate errors of judgment but not Of sufficient
Importance to warrant his recall So here the matter
ends.
