Soon have emptied life's rancorous cup Soundly sleep where the willows are waving Thunder won't waken you Never give up ptigned items in the aggregate amounting to over 130001 but he did not venture to follow it up by a 'motion embodying his accusation i Tiie object of these journalists in thus propagating the calumnies uttered against our only popular insti tution is distinct enough The municipalities of Ire land have recently passed from within the grasp of the English the people of the land now possess them and their enemies seeing thatthey are prepared to turn them to the purposes for which they were originally designed the maintainanee and ex i tension of popular and of national liberty will no doubt every means to destroy or lessen their in fluence The first onslaught has been? made but it was repelled with vigour and effect Some tempo rary impression was no doubt made at the onset but examination discussion and quickly set all to rights It is easy tions they are often heard where not reach but if these accusations truth they will one day recoil on the accuser THE MINISTERIAL THE CORPORATION Morning Herald the recognised English organ of the minister has taken up and re echoed with unwonted vigour the unfounded charges made against the Dublin Corporation The Maif and Packet laboured each according to his fashion to sup port the accusation made ibut not having space to devote to the juggle with which it was sought to sustain it in the council they prudently avoided facts and contented themselves with abuse giving coarse and vulgar but accurately expressive para phrases of the language used the gentleman whoundertook to lay the indictment' language of the Mail and Packet was indeed repudiated inthe council by the gentleman who arranged the plan of assault but a writer in the latter journal thus main tains the accuracy of the language used to define the charge made against the corporation Reynolds accuses his opponents with suppressions in the estimates through which a deficit is exhibited in the ways and means of the corporation that can only be supplied' by the imposition of a borough rate and yet he speaks pf the men who have committed the imputed fraud in this strain I found fault with thejnode of making but the accounts with the view to the levying a borough rate but I do not impute to the men that made them out any intention of deceiving the public They take one view of the mode of making them oat and I take another and I believe I critically udge I Those" who prepared and adopted the financial report are men 'of business miliar with the adjustment of accounts their commercial occupations give them an aptitude in such matters and although one or two members oj the committee might err the whole body of the council (of which the committee con sisted) could not take the erroneous view imputed in i simple matter of account and their adoption therefore 'of the report denounced by Mr Reynolds involves them irre trievably in the wilful fabrication alleged it all com mitted THE MUSIC HALL Mr Mackintosh the enterprising lessee of the nativnvj Music Hall is likely to reap a rich harvest Last eveairg this delightful place Of amusement was fully and fashiona bly attended and the exertions of those exquisite singers the Misses Smith aided as they effectively were by Mr errand gave unequivocal satisfaction and elicited repeated demonstrations of applause The pro gramme was judiciously selected being interspersed with terzettos duets and ballads by the most eminent composers and some of our own sweetly expressive songs graced ths melodious collection Miss Julia Smith did ample justice to Aileen She entered with pathos and tenderness into the sentiment of the ballad and charmed the assemblage by the simplicity of her execution I would not if I could one of those graceful little gems which awaken emotions of the tenderest interest proved very attractive The conductor Smith

Salter Piazzas Covent garden Mr Denton Mrs Green Mr and Mrs Bass Mr Green and another gentleman Previous to the machine leaving the earth some partial ascents were made by a lady and gentleman who took up a leopard witla them the animal which was frequently patted upon the head by the lady exhibiting the utmost docility of tempera ment Several partial ascents were also made Mr Little john and his family with Mr Matthews occupying the car the latter singing the celebrated comic song of which was loudly applauded Th balloon took its final departure from terru frma about haifpast six when the band played the National Anthem The ascent was one of the most extraordinary on record and showed this singularly meteorological state of the atmos phere 1 here was very little wind and upon being re leased the balloon rose extremely slow It was carried across the 1 hames in a southern direction but on reaching an altitude of about a thousand feet it met an opposite cur rent of air By this it was brought nearly over the gar dens Some ballast being thrown out it again rose when it came into an easterly current This however was but of short duration as it was observed gradually to ver round to the north floating towards Hampstead It wzx then perceived slowly descending when owing to the ob scuration of the atmosphere by the night it was lost night of The balloon descended at Notting hill

certain that Quern Isabella II will marry Prine Leopold rancis Julius of Saxe Coburg born 31st Jan 1824 younger brother of King erdinand of Portugal and cousin to the husband of the Queen of England rance it appears will consent to this marriage provided the sister of the Queen marries the Duke de Montpensier and all Europe is agreeable to an arrangement so long desired by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert It is said that the King of the Belgians has worked hard to secure this result Our ambassador at London the Duke do Sotomayor (Spa nish ambassador) appears to have cf ntributed his part to the same end He has defeated the combinations of the partizans of the Comte de Trapani and the Comte de Mon temolin (Prince of Asturias) who presented themselves at first with some chance of THE QUEEN'S ROYAL THEATRE The performance at the theatre yesterday even ing consisted of the play of the Bride of Lammermoor andl the afterpieces house was well with eclat 3 174 2 6' 3 plrf 2 3 3 3 This is the plain common sense view of the case the corporation is either guilty of wilful fabrication or the accusation ia totally unfounded We believe that all who have been at the pains to investigate the subject are satisfied perfectly satisfied that for tho charges made there was not a shadow of foundation but unfortunately one of the artifices used against the corporation was so to mystify and involve the subject by discursive declamation that it required no ordinary as siduity to unfold the webb so ingeniou ly wound around the facts The ministerial organs have taken advantage of this circumstance and assiumirig that but few if any of their readers would take the trouble to inquire for themselves reissue all the calumnies uttered against I the reformed body 1 The Herald that reached us yesterday thus lauds the exertions of Mr Reynolds Having alluded to the fact that the new corporation has neither endowed noble nor made munificent contributions to the wants of the general it proceeds: This would seem inexplicable if a member of the corpo ration Mr Join Reynolds had not let the public into the secret that the corporation has been pauperised by the misapplication of its money to some considerable extent and that the pretence of wanting a borough rate is altoge ther fraudulent resting upon garbled accounts in which large sources of income have been suppressed sources of income amounting to many thousands of pounds The sub ject has been debated with uncommon animation in the Dublin Town Council during thirteen or fourteen days and we are bound to declare that in our opinion Mr Rey nolds has established a complete prima facie case of fraud and suppression of the truth with a purpose of peculation against the Town Council The language held by the Herald is as plain as that used by the Packet of garbled and (C misapplication of Yet plain though it be it does not misrepresent the accusations of Mr Reynolds 11 IsMt true then that Mr has established a prima facie case of and suppression of for the purpose of peculation Is it true that the Corporation of Dublin has been by the misapplication of its money Is it true that that gentleman has let the public into a exposed the presentation of garbled and the suppression of large sources of income The ministerial organs assert that he has Let us see if there be even a semblance of truth in tlie assertion It is now nearly three weeks since we placed before tlie public in extenso the impugned accounts We did so because of the vagueness of the charges made against the Repeal corporation by the hostile jour nals we then challenged them with the whole ac count before them to show that there was either or but though these journalists returned again and again to their accusa tions they never once so much as alluded to the ac counts If there was this if there was this why not demonstrate it by reference to that which alone could substantiate the charge if true the account We now again challenge the Herald and Mail and Packet we challenge them to take up the account upon the presentation of which this charge of suppression of truth was made and by reference to items to demonstrate that it is either or Mr speech is in their hands the report of the committee is in their hands the account upon which that report was based is in their hands Let them cease then from bandying abuse and let them prove against the Repeal body any one of the charges they have made by doing so By proving' one ciime they would ad vance their ends far more effectively than were they to bluster and abuse for a month The Herald makes a boast that the decision arrived at by the council was not unanimous and argues thence that Mr Reynolds did not stand alone in Ins accusa tions How many of these who voted for the amend ment put by MrLoughnan agreed with Mr Reynolds in the opinions he put forward in his opening speech we have no means of judging The amendment however for which they voted did not in the opinion of many of those who supported it impugn either the honesty" of the accounts or the integrvy of the men who presenttd them it in effect amounted to a post ponement as was argued by its suppo'ters ami it was not supported as implying an imputation against the correctness of the accounts We know that one of the gentlemen who voted for the amendment Mr Pearson speaking of the ac counts said If I really considered that the adop tion of this report would not put on a borough rate I could not find fault with a single item of Another gentkman Mr ortune high spirited and independent in his conduct throughout the entire debate voted for the amendment but on its being lost voted for the adoption of the report and said in explanation Though I might have wished to refer it back to the committee I Have no notion of impeach ing that which I believe to be correct by voting against How many others of those who voted in the minority voted on the same principle that influenced the two gentlemen named above we do not know for some of them had notan opportunity of stating their views but we do know that of those who spoke in favour of the amendment two of the most respectable members of the Conservative party dissented in toto from the vile accusations now re uttered by the Herald One of these gentlemen Alderman Kinaban stated with a distinctness not to be misunderstood that the report did not go far enough but his ob jection was not as regarded the figures" The other Counsellor Bowles thus gave his opi nion on the question If the report were referred back to the committee he thought they would just arrive at the same decision as the original committee but notwithstanding that he suggested that such re consideration should be had for the purpose of giving satisfaction to tLe public whose minds were excited on the subject We have done enough to show that among those who supported the amendment there were many (and from among them we have selected two of the most respectable of the Conservative party and two of the Liberal party) who did not impugn one item inthe account and who felt that their support of Mr Lough amendment did not involve concurrence in thecharges made by Mr Reynolds uThe amendment for reconsidering the' report found 'tis true some supporters even the rejection of the report was voted for by others than Mr Reynolds but among those who so voted was one of the four gentlemen who could not find fault with one single item of the account" How many others there were we will not pretend to say One fact however is clear Mr Reynolds concluded his opening statement by impugning the accuracy of the he dm Dublin September 9 1845 GOOD LANDLORDS We (Tipperary Vindicator) have the satisfaction of sta ting that William Beamish Esq of Beaumont near Cork paid his annual visit this week to his estate in the neigh bourhood of Borrisoleigh where he is regarded with the utmost affection and esteem by a numerous and happy ten antry He personally visited each cottage and farm house inquired into the wants and wishes of the tenants and readily supplied them by the exhibition of a princely gene rosity He awarded the usual premiums to the neatest cottages and most cleanly farm yards and directed his agent to employ drainers at his own expense and to provide timber and slates for all the tenants who chose to build walls sufficient to support the same A widow whose lands had been subdivided between 0 sons got an annnity of 101 for life and some tenants who dad been evicted formerly were restored In the same neighbourhood there is a land lord who seldom if ever stirs abroad without being armed to the teeth and accompanied by a few policemen 1 If Tipperary had all such landlords us Mr Beamish there would be no crime and no need of ponce nen Charles de Valmer Esq of London nephew to the late Robert Power Esq has visited his tenants on the lands of Kilmaloo in the county of Waterford and ex pressed his astonishment how they could live in their wretched smoky half thatched cabins He directed his agent to have substantial slated houses at once built for all of them at his expense We trust other landlords will imi tate his example Cork Examiner BELGIAN CORN LAW SUSPENDED 1 In consequence of a report from Van de Weyer the Belgian Minister of the Interior representing the state of the harvest and especially the deficiency of the potato crops which have almost totally failed throughout Bel gium a decree has been issued by the government allowing the free importation of wheat and every description of corn and pulse into the Netherlands and prohibiting the expor tation of sarrasin (buck wheat) and potatoes The Chambers are convoked for an extraordinary session on the 16th inst for the purpose of taking into consideration the state of the Belgian corn laws Wholesale Ejectment The unfortunate tenants of the old House ot Correction Belfast were most uncere moniously on Monday morning last but in conformity with the rules cf vested they wereall permitted to take peaceable possession of the' new jail where they are to enjoy free quarters till the term of tenure originally prescribed shall have inds cmor LATER ROM MEXICO 'The West India mail which reached Southampton on Monday last brings some of additional intelligence 'from Mexico accompanied with the urgent remonstrances iof'Mezicsn correspondents of the London press against non interference of England' in the exterior affairs of that republic rom these communications and other sources we glean the following summary of events The interior state of Mexico is such as would seem to in capacitate the general government from following up their official intimation of a war with the United States Tobasco one of the departments is in open revolt and all intercourebetween it and the capital has been suspended California has long been disaffected but the 2000 men en listed for pervice in that state cannot be brought into the field for want of money to equip and pay them The department of Zacetaches petitioned the Mexi can Congress for a restitution of its federal go vernment the refmal of a petition similar to which caused the revolt of Tobasco Centralization is working most deleteriously in Mexico and to add to the confusion in the capita) a presidential election was soon to have taken place for which thi ee candidates had been already put for Herrera the Interim will probably be chosen the others are Gomez arias (ederalist) and Almonte jate minister to the United States and a friend to Santa Antia Until this election shall have been decided we can hafdly expect that any decisive course as respects the United States will be taken by Mexico In the mean time the Mexican Congress are empowered to negotiate a loan of 5000000 dollars giving as security the funds of the nation not mortgaged to other creditors As an earnest of their bellicose intentions we are told that 10000 meh under the command of elisola are moving to cross the Rio Bravo with the intention of taking up a position tep leagues in advance of that river The most important part of this intelligence at least so far as English interests are is the now authenticated fact of the American colonization of Califor nia The Times correspondent complains that America has 1300 settlers on the banks of the river Sacra where they are levying titles from the hungry governors in a district where only forty British subjects are to be He further adds: writing thus I represent the opinion of all the British community in this quarter and I do believe that an anti United States demon stration in California would be most popular not only at home but in The river Sacramento runs through Upper California and falls into the Bay of San rancisco which forms the best harbour by a thousand degrees to be found on the Pacific Coast of America rom this har hour which the Yankees are thus surrounding with their settlements the voyage to India and China can be made more rapidly by a full month than any possible expedition to be hoped for could accomplish it between Europe and the same countries California thus combining the at traction of the best existing harbour in America for Asiatic Commerce i and being a sort of half way stage to the Mexican mines will not long continue unappropriated The next mail from the United States will probably bring us still farther proofs of the progress of the United States 1 policy in that quarter If so we may seriously look for an anti United States demonstration" HAITI'" Port au Prince papers to the 3d instant were received in this city yesterday They speak of an engagement having taken place at Cachiman between the insurgents 'numbering'' 1500 men and two detachment of government trriops numbering in the whole only 600 men The attack lasted according' to the account of the Moniteur JIaitien four hours and ended in the total rout of the inBtjrgen( body who made good' their retreat under cover of a cannonade from Cachiman saving with difficulty their woubded and leaving a considerable number of dead bodies on tb field of battle government troops on their part euffer'ed a loss of four killed and twenty six wounded Th posts of Cachiman and Resolul were then attacked by the regular troops arid a brisk cannonade was opened from former upon the advanced posts whilst the latter fired on the column of General Victor The fire however wa 0 well returned from the government troops that the two batteries were speedily evacuated and fell into the hands of the government Santa Anna when last heard of wa living a a frKatc individualist Havanna having as i tis stated ample mean of support at his command No one will be inclined to gainsay this who is aware of the avaricious acts of which he was generally accused while in power General lore the late President of the Equador had quitted his country in order not to plunge it in a civil war and retains his rank and fortune lie is to travel in Europe during the next two years and receives warm commendation as a man of gentle manly and agreeable manners We should think the bond holders would do well to enlist the general in their cause for they ereatlv need assistance qr PRICES IRISH STOCKS DURING THE WEEK RANCE We have received the Paris papers of Sunday The only intelligence of the slightest interest in them is the current report of the retirement of Marshal Son an the death of the celebrated Royer inthe 82d year of hi age the Journal des De a just lost one of her great ornaments one of the men who have exercised the highest influence on the spin age Royer Collard died en the 4th instant at his es tate at Chateauvieux near St Aignan in the yea his age Rover had been of Chamber of Deputies member of the rench Academy an of philosophy at College of rance hU Royer Collrd accompanied by his lady left Parison th 19th of August in a very feeble sta'e On the 9h was attacked with fever On the 3 1st Dr Ardral hs son in law Madame Ardra' end grandson to Cha teauvieux On the 3d instant Hoyer Collard received the last sacrament ard on tho following day he died with great calmness and resignation having retained the full use of his faculties until the last moment As an orator he was rather logical than impassioned Calm deliberate and his oratory addressed rather to the head than to he sought more to convince than to arouse He might almost be cousidered an incarnation of pure and pas sionles mind The Constitutionnel publishes the following extract of a letter relative to the retirement of the veteran Mar shah The event is extremely likely He is now in his 76th year 'his health has been in a declining state for some time and the obstinacy of Marshal Bugeaud in per severing in his own views of policy with regard to Algeria has tended not a little to make him sick of office: letter from Castres informs us that the Marquis de Mornay has just arrived at Soultberg If we believe reports which have obtained much credence de Mornay who was attending the Council General at Beauvais has left that town in great haste on receiving a pressing invitation from the Minister of War The old Marshal who states himself to be greatly tired of the struggles and difficulties has to stand especially in Algeria and whe is moreover tormented by a chronic catarrh again talks of retiring but as to re tire at his age is to renounce affairs for ever he will not he says come to such a determination without consulting his family We shall soon know whether there be anything serious in this or whether it be but the comedy that is played every Some importance is attached by the Journal des Debats to the manner in which the feast of St Louis was celebrated at Rome on the 25th of last month That journal from the subjoined remarks contained in a letter from Rome of the 26th ult infers that there is a perfect understanding between his Holiness and Louis Philippe with regard to the Jesuits: five in the afternoon the Pope arrived at the Church of St Louis Our Minister Elenipotentiary Rossi agreeably to the established custom stepped forward to open the door of the carriage of his Holiness and thanked him for the honour he deigned to confer on our national church The holy father paused an instant and in a loud and sonorous voice so as to be heard by the crowd which pressed around said that it was with the greatest pleasure he accomplished that pious duty and that he would feel most happy that the expression of his senti ments should be conveyed to the King of the rench After saying a prayer at the altar of St Louis the Pope proceeded to the sacristy leaning on the arm of the Minister of rance and conversing with him in the most affable manner The kissing of the feet and the presentation of the rench residents in Rome took place shortly afterwards This solemnity in which his Holiress manifested in so visible a manner his affection and devotion to rance produced a lively sensation at Rome where it was regarded as a signal approbation and sanction of the measures adopted with re gard to the Jesuits of rance It was also remarked that at no former period had the Snored College attended in such numbers at this exclusively rench feast There were no less than eighteen cardinals present Mr Rossi repaired on the 26th to the palace of the Vatican to think the Pope for his visit to our church and his Holiness renewed to him the expression of his sentiments towards the King and the Royal amily of Balmaseda who distinguished himself as a general in the service of Don Carlos died some days since at Chagny in Burgundy Accounts from Bayonne announce the arrival of the rench Princes in the Spanish territory on the 3d inst After visiting Biarritz and St Jean de Lux they reached the bridge which unites rance with Spain which they crossed on foot ac companied by Count Bresson the Prefect of that Department and on reaching the other side they were received by the Duke de San Carlos at the head of the with due honours They were to arrive at Pampeluna on the 4th duty on says the Siecle for some years past prodigiously increased which circumstance the growing passion for play accounts for The duty which in 1830 yielded but 500000 francs now yields 1500000 To mention but one instance a Paris card maker Renault now pays 50000 francs to the state instead of 15000 which he formerly paid "We have accounts from Madrid to the first instant but they are destitute of interest The stock brokers still held out and refused to transact any business on the Bourse To day" says the Heraldo the Bourse has presented the same aspect as for some days past It has been opened but not the slightest business has been done in any sort of rontiers of Turkey Aug 14 The whole poshalik of Bagdad is in alarm Redschid Pacha the governor of that province a fanatic Turk well known for having taken by storm the holy city of Kerbela has expelled Achmed Pacha the hereditary governor of Sulimanie from his post after a desperate action he having caused a messenger to have his head cut off whom Redschid had sent to summon him to appear in person before the governor Redschid indeed appointed a brother of Achmed in his room but in vain Arabia is likewise in a complete state of rebellion The sate of Albania and Bosnia is not much better The orders of the Porte are scarcely attended to in these pro vinces and the new system of recruiting cannot be carried into effect Silesian Gazette Cologne Sept 2 A supposed intention is talked of which if it should be carried into effect will create an ex traordinary sensation It is well known that the Queen of England when she was here gave 3500 dollars for our cathedral A very different sum was expected from the Queen of three kingdoms but apart from this as the Queen does not seem in general to have any particular taste for the grand in art the matter is now taken up in a very different point of view and a society has been formed here to return the gift of her Britannic Majesty It is said that considerable contributions have been subscribed for this purpose and chiefly by manufacturers for the eyes are opened and notwithstanding all the fine phrases of the freedom of trade they see that England like a vast night mare keeps down all our manufacturing and commercial efforts This is the ground of a demonstration which otherwise might appear nay childish Bremen Gazette The Russian' The Cologne Gazette contains an article declaring that Russia is busy summer and winter in her dock yards at St Petersburg and that she has lately introduced mortars into her navy She possesses in the Baltic at present one ship of 120 guns three of 1 10 fifteen of 84 twelve of 74 thirty of 64 to 44 and one hundred and twenty of less power amongst which are steamers armed for war In the Black Sea she has two ships of 120 guns two of 110 twelve of 84 eight of 74 eight of 60 ten of 44 and one hundred smaller vessels in the Caspian and White Seas THE WEST INDIA MAIL The following are extaacts from the papers brought by the last West India mail (rom the Jamaica Dispatch August 8) Our accounts from the agricultural districts continue satisfactory so far as the production of the soil is con cerned but we have deep and loud complaints of the total cessation of labour throughout the country in consequence of the absurd custom which has become so universally pre valent among the labouring population of devoting three weeks of indolence to the anniversary of freedom Scarcely a negro can be found to give any labour between the' 1st and 20th August and this is a very serious and a very ruinous affair in those parishes in which the present crop has been retarded by the extreme dampness of the earlier por tion of the sugar crop There is of course no part of the world but those islands in which the labouring population could afford thus to throw away three weeks of wages but they are here so totally independent of work for main tenance that the proprietor is purely at their mercy Notwithstanding our disadvantages however in point of labour and thanks to a most propitious season our crop for the present year will considerably exceed the average crops of late years and that for next year bids fair to exceed even that of the present The the late criminal court of this county have lately terminated and two wretched criminals await the execution of the last sentence of the law To one of these we believe and trust the merciful consideration of the crown will be extended the other we fear for the sake of society can hope for no mercy on this side of the grave The state of the calendar at these assizes was such as to call for the serious observations of the presiding judge who felt it difficult to account for the ereat increase both in the quantity and the quality of crimes now submitted to the consideration 01 me criminal courts 01 tne isiano Late accounts from Peru speak of the differences between the government andthe Peruvian republic as having been amicauiy aajusteu oy a reparation on the part of Peru tor the insult offered to Great Britain which had nearly led to a rupture Her ship Collingwood had arrived at Callao and we learn that a grand entertainment had been given on board at which the President of the Republic was present tnrom ue tyoruuvu canine intelligencer) The demand for this article has decreased andnd th sales confined to small parcels for immediate con sumption THE TIMES Our pages to day contain a further letter of the Times Commissioner written from a most neglected part of that most neglected county Donegal The Commissioner continues his disquisitions respecting the reclamation of land on which he discourses as didac tically as if he had spent a considerable portion of his life in the pursuits of agriculture The Commissioner does not seem to have recently discovered anything either new or startling at least if he has he was not permitted it to appear in his latter communications He feels himself compelled in ids present letter to condemn the absentee landlords whose money is spent out of the and to depict the miseries which flow from that fruitful source of social and 'po litical evil to this country Perhaps it was fortunate that the Commissioner should have fallen upon the tenantry of the Marquis of Conyngham inasmuch as that nobleman being a permanent absentee his case presents ah unexceptionable instance of the ope ration of this gigantic evil and as the noble lord is in politics a Whig the Commissioner was probably the less apt to subdue the colours of the picture which the impoverished principality of Lord Conyngham presents The Commissioner has spoken of the remedies to bo applied to the social condition of Ireland and has pledged himself that he will make known those on which he would rely We shall be curious to learn in what consists the remedy ho would apply to the disease superinduced by absenteeism of the symptoms of which he presents us with so unfavourable a diag nosis LORD WINCH ELSE RESIGNATION The Lord Chancellor not Lord Sugden but Lord Lyndhurst has after the lapse of several days replied to I ord letter resigning his commission of the peace We have seldom seen an instance of the laconic in language convey eo much of sneering in sentiment The Chancellor enunciates civilly to be sure but as clearly as words can convey it that it is of very little import to the nation that Lord Winchelsea should cease to be a magis trate and broadly though courteously intimates that his lordship thinks the noble carl is a fool Here is the letter of Lord Lyndhurst: Turville September 4 dear Loud I have directed a supersedeas to be prepared agreeably to your wish I very very mueh regret that you have taken this step I have forwarded your letter to Sir Peel remain my dear lord very faithfully yours The Mail whose joy is extravagant at thia act of Lord Winchelsea evidently spoke with knowledge when it dared Sir Robert Peel to dismiss the Orange Peers of the North and announced tliat he would not venture on such a step That journal continues in its publication of yesterday its taunts against the minister and referring to the opinions ex pressed by the press respecting the truckling of Peel ourselves among the number it concludes thus: The Journal of yesterday sang to the same time hoping to spur i ides of the ministerial intent into sometl ing like the vigour and consistency of despoiling the magisterial bench of its Prorctaut members Speaking of Lord Boden's presiding over tlie Belfast demonstration our Cotemp rary observed that 1 he sentiments of the noble lord render it indispensa ble that the iioverrmeut hon'd net or submit to the disgrace and degradation of having been brow beaten by two or three of the ascend ncy peers of Our niorning coti mporary was not then ho wever aware of the Engl sh contingent then crossing the channel in aid of the lri aris ocrucy Not so the Globe of Monday hich commenting on the adhesion of the Earl of Winchei to the Protestant cause in' Ireland thus sets forth the pi bible dilemma in which the minister has placed him self Tru'y the government is in a cleft stick Peel will wriggle and twist and strive to escape from this new But there is no alternative He has laid down the has acted upon it with rigour with reference to one party and must appl) it wiih equal eye and hand to the other Partiality will only draw down upon him the scorn and contempt oi those whom he is disposed to favour while the renewed and accrlerated agitation of the Repealers whom he will have treated with a severity unjustifiable even on his own principles will add to the embarrassment with which he has managed to surround his Irish administra Union is strength The English aristocracy found the necessity of uniting with their bret hren in Ireland and are beginning to do so 'Will Sir Robert Peel venture to drive both to extremities? Ills seat in the councils of Her Ma je tv depends upon submission to circumstances over which fortunately he has no We shall hear no no more of dismissing Lord Roden or deposing the Marquis of Downshii We should not be at all surprised to find that this pre dicion of the Mail shall be fulfilled and that we shall hear no more of dismissals when peers of parliament are recalis tuint But in this case never surely did a minister com mence and act upon a course more unconstitutional and and abandon it more shamefully TO CORRESPONDENTS We have received the letter of Mr William Pur cell addressed to the Rev Gregg but it is in every way unsuited to our columns Dwarkan ruth Tagore the distinguished and princely East Indian merchant with his secretary Captain Henderson Sir James Murray Mr Brown and Dlr Jones (the cele brated arrived at the romantic and hospitable seat of the Liberator st five on Saturday afternoon They were there mat by a numerous company at dinner After breakfast and attending divine service on the following morning the party started at half past ten for Mr Mucrus where they were to dine the same evening THE TRIBUTE The Rev Mr M'Meiiamin PP Lettermac ward ha forwarded to the tribute 101 including 1Z his own subscription 1Z the subscription of hi curate the Rev Dlr Boyle and 5s the subscription of Mr James Sweeney PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED We have received since our last publication tho following periodicals They shall be noticed in due course Simmonds' Colonial Magazine for September Tiie Aerostatic Magazine do The do Douglas do Ainsworth's do The Connoisseur No 6 The Gallery of Nature Part VIII 1 Memoirs of an Umbrella By Herbert Rod well George Table Book DUBLINr THURSDAY SEPTEMBER II 1845 ESeESBEK THE 30TH iAT lg44 0 $5 Kot Ik THURS Rl BAT MOM TUES WKD 3 per Ct Cons 08)4 98f Jf 981 98f 98 Reduced do 34 per Ct Stock 101J 101) 101H HH 101 101J 101 op 3 Debentures Annuities Bank Stock 2094 Canal Stock Canal Stock 1 9 Do Debs 6 pr ct 67 Do Debs 5 pr ct Do Debs 4 pr ct Do Debs 4prct new City do 4 pr ct 934 Do do 4 pr ct new 4 pr ct Bal Off Debs withGov Security 4 per cent Pipe 1 Vt nt Deb 5 percent Pipe Wat Deb new 11 Dub Kings town Railway Debs 4 pr ct T7 DUBLIN DAILY SHARE LIST I miscellaneous Share Paid 9th Sept 10th Sept Hibernian Bank 100 25 Provincial Bank 100 25 Royal Bank 50 10 13 1 13 National Bank 50 17 17hi National Insurance Co 250 25 Patriotic ditto 100 10 City of Dublin Steam Pac Shares 100 100 102 Ditto 50 50 City of Dub Steam of 1 836 50 50 British and Irish Steam 50 50 1 Dublin Glasgow Steam 50 45 Mining Co of Ireland 25 7 Wicklow Copper Mine 5'5 railways Armagh Coleraine and Pcrtrush 25 If Belfast ard Ballymena 50 24 Belfast and County Down 50 2f 3 Bandon and Bantry 25 ij 1 Cork and Bandon 50 24 7 Cork and Waterford 25 14 2 2 Cork and Youghal 50 2f Cork Blackrock and Passage 20 lj 3 3 8 Cork and Passage 50 3 6 Dub and Beliast Junction 60 5 11 Do do 5J 24 Dublin Belfast and Cole raine Junction 50 24 3 3 2 3 3 Dublin and Drogheda 75 65 New Shares 5 14 14 Dub and Arm (Inland' 25 If Dublin and Kingstown 100 100.
