ENGLAND.-Her Majesty is still So
journing in the Highlands. The Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland has commenced a
tour to the North with the view of ascer-
tanning the condition of the agricultural
and manufacturing operations Of that dis
tr1ct. Great preparations have been
made for his reception III Belfast. The
recent government appointment of his
Excellency. has given great satisfaction,
and altogether Lord Clarendon appears
to have become rather popular.
ATTACK ON HAYNau-The butcher
Haynau received a slight indication Of
the regard recently which the English
people entertain for him. He arrived in
London and having previously received
letter of introduction from Baron Roths-
ct.ilds, in which the Baron styles Haynau
his particular friend, he went to view
the Brewery of Messrs. Barclay. Perkins
& Co. He was accompanied by his aid
de-camp and interpreter. According TO
the regular practice, they were requested
to sign their names in book in the office.
after which they crossed the yard with
one of the clerks. On. inspection of the
Visiter's Book, the clerk discovered that
one of the visiters was Marshal Haynau,
late Commander Of the Austrian forces,
during the attack upon the unfortunate
Hungarians. 1t became known all over
the brewery. in less than two minutes.
and before the General and his compan-
ions had crossed the yard, nearly all the
! laborsrs and draymen ran out with
brooms and dirt, shouting, "Down with
the Austrian Butcher aud other epithets
of an alarming nature to the Marshal.
Haynau, fiuding how matters stood, and
| being likely to meet warm reception from
the sturdy brewers, thought discretion
the better part Of valor, and began to
beat retreat. But this was not so east
ly done The attack was commenced
by dropping a truss of straw on his head,
after which, grain and missiles of every
kind were freely bestowed upon him.
The men next struck his hat over his
eyes, and showed him abou; in al. direc-
tions, and his clothes were torn off his
back. His companions were treated
with equal violence.
The rarty finally succeeded in reach
ing the entrance gate; but no sooner had
they made their exit, than a crowd of
coaI.heavers, who waited for his High
ness, struck him with every available
missile, and even dragged him along by
his mous,ache, which offered ample
facilities from its excessive length. Still
battling with his assailants, he ran in a
frantic manner along the bank side,
until he came to the "George" public
house, where he ran upstairs and con-
cealed himself; the furious mob rushed
in after him, threatening TO "do for the
Austrian Butcher" but they did not sue
ceed in discovering his retreat Ulti-
mately the police came to his rescue
He was removed in police barge to
the other end of the city.
This assault has been the subject Of
comment in nearly all the London and
provincial papers and whilst the minority
agree in condemning the act, they fully
admit that the presence of so disreputa-
BILE character in England, was provoca-
ton great enough to excuse even great
er outrage.
In ireland the Repeal agitation has
been again revived by O'ConnelI, but the
attempt proves almost an abortion. The
Irish Tenant League, for the enforcement
of Tenant Rights is beginning to at
tract considerable attention both in Eng
land and Ireland and all parties are fully
impressed with the necessity of placing
the law of landlord and tenant on a more
equitable footing than it has been.
rhe effect which the death of the
ex-Kiug of the French will have in Eu-
ropean politics, has been the theme of
much discussion in English papers, and it
is generally thought that the event will
| have the eiec, Of arousiug the latent
ambition Of the Duke de Joinville.
The dispute now pending iii the Bours
bon family will, it is thought, be healed,
and an effort made to place him at the
head of the French Republic.
The proceedings of Congress at Wash
| ingtou have also attracted considerable
attention, and the engrossment by the
Senate of the Fugitive Slave Bill, has
been strongly condemned.
1t is reported that the Chancellor Of
the Exchecquer has determined to advise
the abolition of the paper duties, the
stamp duty on newspapers. and the duty
! on advertisements
FRANCE-The President started on
Tuesday on another provincial tour, COM
mencing with Cherl Cherbourgh. He is
met almost every where with mixed cries
of Vive la Repubiqie, and Vive la Presi-
den;e and in some instances with Vive
la Empereur and Vive la Napoleon Sec
