Advance in Cotton—Activity in the Markets -Espartero in England—Victoria and Prince Albert in France—Prorogation of Parllament—Queen’s Specch—Irish Repeal —Welsh Riots-Interesting Condition of the Queen---Chartism---The Crops— Letter ~ from Mr. Bennett to the London Times— Affairs in all parts of Europe, é&c., &c. The Caledonia reached Boston at seven o’clock on Wednesday morning. She left Liverpool on the 5th inst. We have received London and Liverpool papers tothe latest date. Weare indebted to Wilmer & Smith s European Times, aud Charles Wilmer’s News Letter, for many of our extracts. Our thanks are due to Harnden & Co. for the early delivery of the news. That concern is never- tiring. Success to them in all their express move- ments Packet ships Europe and Independence had ar- rived out—the latter in sixteen days, Business generally in England wore a more healthy appearance than it had done for some time previous, and confidence was reviving. The wool. Jen, iron, and other trades had received an impetus ‘There was uncommon anitation in the Liverpool cotton market, produced by the unfavorable ac- counts respecting the new crop. On the arrival of the news alse at Havre, the cotton market was thrown iatogreat activity. A considerable advance has beea the result, and an enormous amouat of business transacted. In American produce nothing of material impor tance hed occurred, business being quiet, but firm. Colonial sugar has gone off with less spirit than previcurly, aod at rather Jower prices ; but the de cline has not been general. Most kinds of coflee, suitable ior home consumptivn, have met a fine sale, and prices are again higl.er in nearly all instan- ces. Cocoa is also looking up, witha steady de- mand. ‘The crops look as promising as can be expecte d considering the heavy rains which have prevailed in various parts of the country of late, and the cold spring. The northern are better than the southern crops. The reapers are busy in the fields, and har- vest it is generally believed, will not be much be- low an average one. The Irish papers are filled with the most favorable accounts of the appreaching hatvest. The delight- ful weather of the previous week hag had a benefi- cial effect upon the crops generally. One of the most protracted sessions on record was brought to a close onthe 24th ult. by the Queen in person. The winding up of the parliamentary cam- paign by the Queen’s speech, delivered by herself, was deemed essential by the ministry, in order to show the country that they possessed her Majesty’s confidence. Itis whispered, indeed, that the stipu- lation was not very gratifying to the royal taste, and that if she could have staid away with decency,she would have done so. The Times states that she refu_ French in the Pacific will be submitted to. The party of Ja jewne France have seized the occasion to excite anew a war spirit against England. Their evident rancour will, however, defeat its own ob- ject, and the Journal des Debats, Guizot’s organ, has given them a most pertixent rebuke. A very curious letter, in which Queen Pomare, of Tahiti, solicits the protection of the English go- vernment against France, has been published in London, Russia and Prussia have declined to join a Con- Gress to eettle the affairs of the Peninsula, those powers recognising the claim of Don Carlos. They have, however, intimated that France will not be allowed alone to arrange the question. The Catalonian and Biscayan provinces of Spain are still in a state of great disorder. In another column, says Wilmer and Smith’s Times, will be found a letter which Mr. James Gordon Bennett has addressed to the London Times, arising out of Mr. O’Connell’s uncourteous attack upon him at the DublinCorn Exchange. The letter is well-written, and throws a new light upon the motives of the principal actors in the aflair. As regards Mr. Buckingham, there is hardly a newspa- per in these kingdoms to which his puffs, written by himself, have not been sent, and to insist upon char- ging for them as advertisements was legitimate enough. Mr. Bennett’s letter has drawn out Mr. Buckingham, whose statement we also give. The latier, it will be observed, entirely shrinks from noticing what Mr. Bennett says about the right to charge for his (Buckingham’s)self-laudatory praises, and unable, evidently, to meet the refutation he presses Captain Marryatt into the service. [From the London John Bull }, Mr. James Gonpon BENNETT, proprietor of the N York Herald, whose scurvy reception by O’Con- nell, ata meeting of the Repeal Association, we notuced in our columns of the 12th ult., has addres- sed a letter to the Times, explanatory of the cause of thatreception. It liesin a nutshell, if Mr. Ben- nett speaks the truth, which we have no reason to doubt—and the less so because his statement has, in itself, abundant evidence of sufficient probability. He was mainly instrumental, it seems, in stopping the supplies from America—in checking the flow ot American dollars into the Repeal wallet. The par- ticulars are of no moment. The fact itselt is enough. Daniel might have said to him what Shy- lock says to the court, ““You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live.” What! dam up the current of the Repeal rent! No wonder he came in for the “Liberator’s” abuse ; or, as the no- torious Judge Jeflties used to say, for ‘‘a lick trom the rough side of his tongue.” There is one part of Mr. Bennett’s letter which, if it be incapable of contradiction, discloses the terior views of the Repeal agitation. These views may be chimerical, as we believe they are—certain of being frustrated, as we are sure they would be. No matter. We see in them what repeal really means. Speaking of its leadersin New York, Mr. Bennett says:— They told me that many of them had the same view of the absurdity and impracticability of a repealof the Le. gislative Uni Ihad, but they assured me that the great mcvement of repeal in Ireland, with its affiliated movements in the United states, was only the beginning of agrand revolutionary drama, that would soon be able to subvert the monarchies and aristoc~acies of England, France, and all western Europe, and establish republics throughout all those countries. On hearing this remarka. ble disclosure, I had nothing further to say about the technicalities of Repeal. When O’Connell reads this, he will of course call Mr. Bennett “‘a liar,” or bestow upon him some other equally refined and expressive epithet. That will pass for nothing, or if for anything, as testimo- Wy in favor of the truth of Mr Bennett’s statement. hat we are curious to ascertain iz, how the state- ment willbe received in New York, and whether any of the leaders of the repeal movement eerer sed to be a party tothe state pageantry of proroguing Parliament, unless the internal arrangements of the house underwent a considerable change; amongst others, providing a chair of state for Prince Albert, of asuperior kind to the one previously used. All this, of course, was instantly complied with, though not, it isadded, without a good deal of inconveni- ence, owing to the brevity of the time. The speech itself says little which is not common- place, except the portion which relates to Ireland. In reading that portion of the document, her Ma- jesty, itis said, raised her vioce, and emphasised a good deal. The terms of the speech as applied to that section of the empire are rather strong, but if Mr O'Connell is to be credited, her Majesty substi- tuted “deep concern” for “indignation”? in the eriginal dratt, when speaking of the repeal agitation. The agitation would seem to have friends—not to say spies—in high places. He was the first to an- nounce that the Queen censured her prime minister, and dismissed him without an invitation to dinner, because he introduced her name into his first speech in the House of Commons, when he declared his intention of putting down the agitatien by force without her authority. He was the first also to an- nounce that the ministry had abandoned their in- tention of coercing Ireland. The secrets ooze out, probably through some of the ladies in waiting about the court, forthe daughters of Eve have a prescriptive license for allowing their tongues to out- strip their judgment. O’Connell coatinues to blaze away in Ireland.— The agitation increases, if possible, in intensity, and the rent is kept well up to the mark—swelled by contributions from America. He has attacked the Queen’s speech with great ferocity, treating it asthe speech of the ministers, and wishing it to be believed that her Majesty was ceerced into its delivery—that she is not a free agent—anc that a resignation would have been the result of a refusal. This does not tally, however, with the marked intonation which her Majesty issaidto have imparted to the reading of the passages about the Repeal agitation. The King of Hanover took his departure for his own dominions on Saturday. During his three months sojourn among us, he has received the most marked attention from the leading aristucratic fa- milies, his time having been taken up in a constan’ succession of fétes and dining out. His Majesty may console himself for his unpopularity among the people, by the attention which he has received at the hands of the nobility. The rumor which pre- yailed some time ago, that he was about to resign the crown of Hanover in favor of his son, does not appear to have been well founded. The great Protestant meeting, which was an- nounced as on the eve of taking place in Beltest—a counter demonstration to the Repeal meetings—has been givenup. The advice contained in the Queen’s speech is assigned as the cause. A correspondence ‘on the subject has taken place between Lords Lon: donderry and Roden, the former expressing his be- lief that no necessity existed for such a demonstra- tion, and it would do more barm than good. This appears to be the feeling of the party on both sides of the water opposeu to the Repeal movement. The wonder, however, ig, considering the bitter, almost deadly feud, which exists between the ultra Protes- tant party in treland and O’Connel’s satellites, how this fiery spirit of the former can be at all kept quiet by any feelings of prudence. Amongst the various other complicated maladies of that devoted country, not the least is the intense hatred which exists amongst those who differ on religion and political grounds. There is, unhappily, no middle party in Treland, and when the two extremes meet, the re- sult is always lamentable—ofien tragical. ‘There appears to have been a little embroilment with France in Newfoundland and at Tahiti. A French fieherman trespassing within the British boundary, and refusing to be warned off, has been unfortunately shot; and some dispute as to saluting the flag of Queen Pomare, at Tahiti, is the cause of the other difference ; the French claiming that the salute should be to their flag as the protecting power. Negotiations are taking place on the subject, and itis to be seen whether this usurpation, of the who, though not named, must be well known, wil! come forward and deny it. We shall not lose sight of the business. Rereat.—The feature of the week is the promul- gation by O'Connell of his repeal constitution for lreland, and hisintended distribution of her repre- sentatives. He will allow the Bishops to have seats inthe House of Lords, adding also the Ro- mish bishops. The repeal rent is evidently declin- ing, and the monster meetings are pretty well worn out. The heads of it are, that Ireland maintain alle- giance to “* Victoria, Queen, by undoubted right, id by hereditary descent, ol Ireland, and her heirs and successors for ever;” that the privileges, here- ditary and personal, of the Irish Peerage be preser- ved; that Ireiand shallhave a House of Commons of her own; that there be one hundred and seventy- three county, and one hundred and twenty-seven city and borough members; Dublin to have cight, Cork five, Limerick and Belfast three members each; that veting be by household suffrage, requir- six months residence in counties, ‘* with the addition, in the towns, of married men, resident for twelve months, whether household or not ;” that voting be by ballot; that the Monarch, or Re- gent of England de facto, be Monarch, or Regent of Ireland dejure ; and that “the connexion be- tween Great Britain and Ireland, by means of the power, authority, and preregatives of the Crown be perpetual, and incapable of change, or any severance or separation.” This manifesto is _ signed by “Daniell O’Connell, Chairman of the Committee.” , Charles Wilmer’s News Letter gives the follow- ing :— _ The repeal agitation in Ireland still continues as vigorousas ever, though the “Liberator,” in a re- cenly published letter, announces his intention of shortly allowing himseif ‘ta few weeks of relaxa- tion from business amongst the echoes of his native mountains.” He has put forward a “ plan for the renewed action of the Irish Parliament,” which sives Ireland 300 members, and is based on the principle ot household suffrage. Ina speech onthis subject Mr. O'Connell said that the Queen had only to summon this parliament, and then that parliament could “legalise everything ” asthe English parlia ment did after calling William the Third to the shrone. In the mean time, the decided tone of the Queen’s speech with respect to the repeal of the Union, has given muci satisfaction to the English and protestant Peat in Ireland; and a de- claration has been resolved on ata numerous meet- ing of noblemen and gentlemen, in which the pledge themselves to stand together, to defend with (heir ** properties and lives the integrity of the em- wire, as cemented by the legislative union.” The royal speech, however, does not appear to be at all wo Mr. O’Connell’a taste, for he denounces it as an * excess of stupidity and insolence combined.” No senument, indeed, can exceed the contempt which 1e protesses for all the three estates of the realm un- ess it be the sentiment ot fear which he really en- tertainsfor the ** fourth estate’—the prees. In an avlucky hour he lately attacked a reporter of the times, threatening his exclusion from the Corn E:x- change meetings, because, in the execution of his juty. the latter had sent a statement to that journal distastetul to the Roman Catholic priesthood. The reporter, (who was absent from Dublin whea the threat was uttered) subsequently returned to that city, and in a letter to the journals stated that if Dan dared to carry his menace into effect, it would be condemned by the whole of the gentlemen of the press, of whatever party they might be, and that many would openly protest against it. This signiti- cant hint was quite enough to open the great agita- tor’s eyes to the true state of the question, and he immediately saw (and stated £0, too, at the next meeting of the association) that the reporter was right, and that he (Vaniel) was wrong. But if the peat of the London ‘Times has chastised the “Liberator” with te the editor of the New York Herald (Mr. J.G. Bennett) has chastised him with scorpions. This latter geptieman, who, as we stated in our last number, was | ald insulted by Mr. O’Connell at a late Corn Exchange meeting, has addressed a letter on the subject to the edilor of the Times, a copy of which will be found in ano- ther column ; and we believe that when our rea- dersshall have perused it, they will think with us that King Dan is now paintully anxious to conclude treaties of peace and amity with all New York edi- ms = London reporters for the term of his natu- ral life. Nurs ror O’Conngut.— On Tuesday eveni: as Tom Steele was entering the Corn Exchang te large packet was put into his hands, which had ar- rived by the Acadia, Great anxiety was natural! manifested as to the contents of the precious parcel; it being st expected to contain another remit. tance from the worthy sympathisers across the At- lantic. Judge then, the head pacificator’s mortifi cation on finding that it was nothing more substan- tial than “several pages ot MSS. letter from Mr. Grace, corresponding secretary of the St. Louis (Mo.,) Repeal Association, strongly and rudel: cendemnatory of the anti-slavery speech of the Li- berator,” with a modest request that Mr. Steele would lay the same before the Loyal National Re- peal Association for their consideration. The course which the head pacificator adopted, was worthy at once of the man and the matter. He en- closed all the unpalatable documents back to the “corresponding secretary,” with the emphatic ob- servation, ‘‘ that Mr. Steele 1s not to made the me- dium of a communication disrespectful to his great leader!” If the American journals last received are to be credited, it is likely that similar tokens of “sympathy” to the forementioned will be of more frequent occurrence than they were heretofore. | Vistr or Qugen Victoria To France—Naxrow Escare —The King et the French, hearing of the Queen's intention of taking a short excursion by sea, commissioned his sons, the Prince de Joinville and Duke d’Aumale, to invite her to his chateau at Eu_ She took her departure from Southampton, amidst great rejoicings, and her progress along the coast is recorded with much minuteness. The royal squadron reached Treport, where it was re- ceived by the King of the French and his family, with greateclat The royal families of England and France then, amidst great rejoicings, left for the chateau d’Eu, which they reached at seven o’clock the same evening, and a splendid banquet was serv- ed up at eight. ‘The Queen’s journey to France has excited no little interest on both sides of the chan- nel. Some of the Paris papers look upon it with any thing but satistaction. This 1s the first occasion for upwards of three centuries that the sovereigns of the two countries have met under similar ciream- stances. The last meeting of a like nature was that between Henry VIII and Francis I, on the fiela of the Cloth of Gold, which was followed two years subsequently by a war between the same monarchs. During Victoria’s stay, Eu will be the scene of great splendor. Louis Phillippe, who superintends the most minute arrangements, seems bent upon giving his guest not merely a friendly but an enthusiastic reception. ‘The English people, who have a very friendly feeling towards their French neighbors—a feeling not always reciprocated—view this inter- change ef hospitalities between the two monarchs with great interest and no inconsiderable degree of leature. ‘The meeting is well-timed, asthe war ver which burned so fiercely during the adminis- tration of M. Thiers, has burnt itself out. If the meeting should lead to a better estimate of each others worth on the part of both countries, a desire to make due allowance for each others national characteristics, and put an end to that spint of carp- ing criticism, jealousy, and fault finding, as regards England, which the last half dozen years have al- forded so many samples, it will be a consummation devoutly to be wished by every patriot on both sides the straits of Dover. By the way, the royal famiy of France had a narrow escape from destruction a few days since, while taking an airing in the vicin- ity of En. The party, ten in number, including the King, Queen, the Princes, Princesses, and grand: children, were in a family coach, when three of the horses, while passing a bridge, frightened by the discharge of artillery, took fright, and precipitated themselves in the abyss below. Fortunately, the traces of the fourth horse were cu', through the pre- sence of mind of the postilion, before he had time to follow the leaders, otherwise the whole party would have been dragged after him to instant anni- hilation. This fearful incident, from which, like many others of a similar character, it has been the good fortune of Louis Phillippe to escape, would seem to point out the possession of that “charmed life” upon which Shakspere’s Scottish thane so tool- ishly relied. The presence in France, of no less than four Queens, viz:—those of England, France, Belgium, and Spain, for the Ex-Queen Regent is still expec: ted—ot the illustrious consort of our beloved sove- reign of the King of the French and his sons, of Soult, of Aberdeen, and Guizot, and other of the principal statesmen of Europe, with a host of mili- tarien and civilians of distinction, as actors in the scene, cannot but render it one of the most impor- tant that history will have to record. _ Axrivat or Espartero.—Espartero has arrived in England. The Prometheus, Lieut. F. Lowe, commander, with the Spanish party on board, en- tered Falmeuth on Saturday, the 26h ultimo ; but proceeded to Portsmouth, and thence to Havre, to take up the Duchess of Vittoria and her daughter. The steamer came to an anchor at Woolwich at 1 o’clock on Wednesday morning. Sir Francis Collier, chief superintendent of the dock vard, went on board, and stated to the Duke of Vitto- na, on the part of the government, that every ac- commedation both for himself and his suite would be most gladly rendered ; carriages fer the con- veyance of himself and suite to town being in readiness. The Duke, however, declined the offer, having previously arranged to embark in a small steamer for Hungertord wharf; where the carriages of the Embassy were in attendance to receive him. He added, that he wished his visit to be as private as possible. He was warm in the expression of his acknowledgements for the kindness of the British Government; and in that he was echoed by the Duchess, and his niece Lady Eladia Expartero. The Duke and his suite, after Lord Bloomfield, the Commander of the Royal Arsenal, had paid his respects, ee to Hungerford, and thence to Mivart’s Hotel. The following isa list of the Spanish noblemen and_ gentlemen who accompa- nied the Ex-Regent :—General Van Halen, Count of Pericamps; Don Ag. Nogueras, Minister of War; Don P. Gomez de la Serna, Minister of the Interior; Don Juan Lacarte, Brigadier Ge- neral; Don Fernando Batarreche, Inspector of Me- dicine ; Don Celestino Garcia, Military Intendant; Don Cyissiano Montesimo, Secretary to his High- ness the Regent; Don Juan Mendidagoitis, Secre- tary to the Minister of the Interior. The military officers accompanying the Duke are Don Pedro Falcon, Don Rafael Mendirate, Don Ventura Ban- cairtezni, Don Miguel Conde de Iborani, Don Blas Osio, Don Francesco Serrano, Don Luciano Mari- etta, and Don Beinon Merodinno. The only ser- vants in attendance are three men and one woman. Soon after theirarrival at the hotel, Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Albert, had a lengthened inter- view with General Espartero, and subsequently with the members of the staff who accompanied the Regent to this country. Throughout Thursday the hotel was besieged by visiters of all ranks. — The Duke of Wellington, w!\> was among the ear- liest, inscribed his name i visiters’ book thus— “Field Marshal the Duke o: \Vellington et Captain- General Duque de Ciudad Roderigo.” The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, the Karl of Clareudon, Viscouat Mahon, Earl of Listowel, Lord Campbell, Lord and Lady Blomfield, also visited the Regent. Alter remaining a few days, the Duke and suite re- moved to his mansion in the Regent’s Park. ARRIVAL OF THE AcapiIA—This fine_steam-ship arrived at Liverpool on the morning of Tuesdy last. She departed from Beston oa the afternoon of the 16th ult., and from Halifax on the afternoon of the 18th. She made the jee from Boston in twelve days, and from Hal; in ten days. She brought over forty passengers and a rer heavy mail. The news she conveyed to England was printed in the London Standard on the same day as she arrived. j rough all and circulated by means of that journal thi parts of the kingdom within the short period ot eleven days from the hour ot the veagel {eaving Hali- fax. On the morning of the 19h ult., attwo o’clock, the Acadia, unfortunately, came in collision with the American barque Merchant, of Newport, U.8., from Amsterdam. The barque sunk in fifteen minutes after the concussion, but all the crew were saved. The steamer sustained no damege to her hull, her figure-head and rails being alone crushed. The weather was thick at the time, and no blame whatever can-be attached to those in the steam- ship. The captain and crew of the barque received the most hospitable treatment on board the Acadia. New Atvantic Srramer.—Whatever regret may be entertained ,for the loss of the Columbia—a re- gret unchecquered, happily, by any loss of life, and confined to the mere dollars part of the question— the public certainly will be no sufferers by that event. The whee proprietors of the line of steam- ers to which that vessel belenged, have, with the greatest promptitude, contracted with Steele & Co. of Greenock, for another vessel of superior dimen- sions and greaterspeed than the one lately wreck- edin the Bay of Fundy. The new steamer, whose engines will be constructed by the celebrated Na- pier, of Glasgow, will be a counterpart, in every respect, of the swiftest, and beyond all comparison, the most successful steamer afloat, the Hibernia, whose briet career has thrown ali the previous tri- umphs of ocean navigation into the shade.— The result then is—that the public will have the advantage of a new and first rate vessel, into which every improvement will be introduced which the experience ot years in navigating the Atlantic has given birth to, with all the advances in mecha- nical science which have been made since the Co- lumbia was first floated. Whether as regards the builders, the engineer, or the owners, the new ves- sel now on the stocks will, the public may rest as- sured, be a chef deuvre. Marriages iN Hicn Liret.—Miss Wilbraham, niece of the Hon. General and Mrs. Grosvenor, about to be married to Capt. Stopford, eldest son of Admiral the Hon. Sir Robt. Stoptord, G.C.B , Go- vernor of Greenwich Hospital. _ The preliminaries have been arranged for a mar- riage between the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of Richmond, and Miss Greville, eldest daughter of Mr. ct ald a private secre- tary to the Duke of Wellington, and great niece to the Duke of Portland. Gen, Sir John Crosbie is dead. Daniel O'Connell and James Gordon Bennett. | To rue Eprror or rue Lonpon Times — Sin,—On my return to London, after a tour of three weeks over Ireland and Scotland, I embrace the first opportunity of asking permission to reply to a very groes and unjustifiable attack made upon me onthe 7th and Sth inst, by Mr. O’Connell, in the Corn Exchange, Dublin, while as a mere traveller, I was quietly pursuing my journey through that city. ‘This attack appeared in your journal of the 9h and 10th instant, in the shape of a corespondence from Dublin, and has been circulated very extensively in the newspapers throughout the United Kingdom. In visiting Ireland, which | then did for the first time, { had received a number of introductory let- ters from a highly respectable Irish gentleman in London to a number of his frends in Dublin.— Among these letters was one to Mr. O’Connell. 1 reached Dublin on Sunday, the 6th instant, and hav- ing only a very short time to devote to that city, 1 rocured a carriage on the same afternoon, and cal- led in person upon the gentlemen to whom my letters were addressed. Among others,! drove to Mr.O’Con- nell’s residence, Merrion square, and left my letter, together with my card, writing on it ‘‘Gresham’s Hotel,” where I'stopped Daring 2 course of _near- ly twenty years as an editor in the United States, eight vears of which I have been proprietor of the New York Herald, I have always entertained and expressed a high and liberal opinion of Mr. O’Con- nell, and a Warm sympathy for the Trish people.— There was nothing, therefore, ia our relatiens to make the introduction to him improper. Nextday (Monday, Aug. 7) | went round Dublin, in company with a gentleman of that city, for the purpose of viewing the public buildings, institutions, and other sights. About two o’clock we had finish- ed our tour ; but on ourreturn to the hotel, I remark- ed, ‘I must see the Corn Exchange, and if possible hear O’Connell; it wiil not do to return to New York without having seen that sight” We accor- dingly drove to the Corn Exchange. Alter paying a shifting admittance jee at the door, I attempted to get in, but it was so small and so crowded that it was found impossible. As a last effort, my name and residence were given at the private entrance. Several persons cried out, “Make way for the Ame- rican gentleman;” ‘‘Why the divil don’t you make way 7” and I was handed in with as much attention toone Tom Steele as it I had been the bearer of a large amount of “rent” from New York to swell the funds of the association in Dublin. Ag soon as my name was mentioned to O'Connell, and while I was standing near the table, and quietly looking over the singular scene, I was assailed by Mr. 0 Connell in those discourteous, inhospitable, and brutal terms, in which he was reported in your Dub- lin correspondence. The suddenness and abruptness of the outrage seemed not only to astonish his owa auditors, but even to astonish himself, for he hurried over the scene and proceeded in his business at once. After taking a look round the assembly, I retired very quietly. ext day Mr. O’Conneil, being well aware of the gross breach of ordinary decorum he had commit- ted, endeavored to justify himself by making an additional attack upon my public and private cha- racter—an attack equaliy unfounded, untrue, and malevolent. Having violoted all decorum on the first day, he endeavored to justify that violation by deepening it into barbarity, falsehood, and outrage. Mr. O’Connell offered as a passive apology a state- ment made by a Mr. Silk Buckingham, to the eflect that I had endeavored to extort money from the latter when he visited the United States a few years ago. This charge, and all such charges, I pro- nounce utterly untrue. Mr. Buckingham came to the United States on a money speculation, travel- ling through the country, delivering lectures for pay on Oriental literature and customs. He senthis ad- vertisements and self-laudatory notices (pufls we call them) to the newspapers, and among others to mine. The clerk who attends to this branch of my business told his agent that his yufls were also aq. vertisements, and muat be paid tor as had any intercourse with Bockt him—vever heard him jecture, yet our 6 ple facie, Buckinghau tas hoods he has publisned in tus work, aod Daniel O'Connell, in the extremity ot some secretrevenge, endorses his falsehood in the Dublin Corn bx- change, and endeavors to assail the character of a mau who feels himeelf to stand at least on as high a level of honor, morals, worth, and public spirit as he does. The real motives which actuated My, O’Connell in making so unprovoked an attack uy; me, have hitherto been concealed from the publiceye. I will now disclose them, and they will be found sufficient to account for his conduct. | contributed to stop the “ rent” that was expected from Ame- rica. This will be apparent in giving a brief sketch of the rise, progress, and extinction of the Irish Repeal agitation in the United States, and of the position the New York Herald assumed in that business. The Repeal agitation began in New York seve- ral weeks before I Jett that city, which was on the 26th of June last. They held their meetings night. Wy for ten days or more, at a_ large building in roadway, called Washington Ha!!. Immediately on the commencement of the agitation I was called upon by several of its leaders and promoters to as- certain my views on the subject, and whether I would support the movement. They were anxious to procure the aid of the Herald, because {rom its extensive circulation, and its superior corps of re- porters, it would do the cause more geod than any other paper. I thanked them for their goed opi- nions, replying that! had for many years been triendly to the Irish people, who were a generous and a high-spirited race; that I had always sup- ported their rights in the United States, and sympa- thised with their distresses in their native land.; but that the Bal of the Irish Union was a very questionable and impracticable ineasure; that it could not remove social evils in Ireland; and that there was much impropriety in Americans en- deavoring to promote the dismemberment of the British empire while we had treaties of amity in existence, as there was in certain fanatics in En- gland, and even in Mr. O’Connell himself, endea- voring to encou.age an agitation against the south- ern States, which might lead toa dismemberment of our own Union. They acknowledged the justice of the view, but apologized for Mr. O’Connell’s abuse of the southern States by attributing it to his ignorance of American opinion and consti- utions, and especially to his ignorance of the character of his own countrymen when they came to the United States. They told me further, that many of them had the same view of the absur- dity and impracticability ot a repeal of the Legisla- tive Union as 1 had, but they assured me that the great movement of repeal in Jreland, with its affil- ated movements in the United States, was only the beginning of a grand revolutionaryidrama, that would soon be able to subvert the monarchies and aristocracies of England, I'rance and all western 1843. nal, and for simply publishing ‘the truth, the whole truth, aud nothing but the truth,” was! one of the | instruments in putting an end to the transmission of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the pockets of the poor and honest Irish and American people to the coflers of the Dublin Repeal Association,which no-doubt is within reach ot the patriotic, pure, and loyal hands of Daniel O'Connell and his adherents. Of all these facts no. doubt Mr. O'Connell had re- ceived private intimation, and certainly they were quite sufficient to account for his gross breach of hospitality when I visited the Corn Exchange as one of the curious sights of Dublin. I received, however, during that visit the worth of the shilling Ipaid atthe door—perhaps to a greater extent than Ihad by paying a sixpence at the Zoological | Gardens in the Phoanix Park to see the wild beasts there. In both cages the tigers growled, and showed | their teeth—but in the former case I learned to dis- | tinguish between a selfish and hypocritical patriot, and a generous, oppressed, and high-spirited people. For the distresses and social evils of the gallant people of Ireland, I have, as an American, a sympa- thy less expansive than Mr. O’Connell’s, but equally as sincere—a hand that may not dive as deep into tions to alleviate their real evils. I would not ex tort money from adistressed people under the shal- low ery of patriotism, merely to supply my own ne- cessities and extravagance. I would not try to extort money from my countrymen in a foreign land under the mask of begioninga greatrevolution, and when that attempt had failed by my own tolly and igno- rance, then abuse the people of that country, and ineult a quiet traveller on his way, whose object was truth, kindness, and correct information, Lam, Sur, your most obedient Servant, James Gorpon Bennerr, ot New York.

I thank you for the measures you have adopted for ena- bling me to give full eftect to the several treaties which Thave concluded with foreign powers. 4 Thave given my cordial assent to the bill which you presented to me for increasing the means of spiritual in- struction in populous parish by making a portion of the revenues of the church available for the endowmentof additional ministers. € I confidently trust that the wise and benevo'ent inten- tions of the legislature will be aided by the zeal and libe- rality of my subjects, and that better provision will thus be made for public orship snd for pastoral superinten- dence inmany distr e country.

It will e My constant object to comnine a strict regard to econ. omy with the consider: which is due to the exigen- cies of the public eecvi My Lonps anv GentLeMEN:— In some districts of Walex the public peace has been interrupted by lawless combinations and disturbances unconnected with political causes. I have adopted the measures which [ deemed best calculated for the repres- sion of outrage, and for the detection and punishment of the offenders. T have at the same time directed on inquiry to be made into the cire’ mstances which have led to insubordina tion and vielence in a part of the country usually distin- guished for good order and willing obedience to the law. I have observed with the deepest concern the perseve ring efforts which ore made to stir up discontent and dis- tffection among my subjects in Ireland, and to excite them to demand a reper! of the Legislative Union. 5 It has been and ever willbe my earnest desire to admi- nister the government of that country in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality, and to co-operate with parlia- ment in effecting such amendments in the existing laws as may tend to improve the social condition and to deve- lop the natural resources of Ireland. From a deep conviction that the Legislative Union is not less essential to the attainment of there objects than to the strength and stability of the empire, it 18 my firm determination, with your support, under the bles: sing of Divine Providence to maintain inviolate that great bond of connection between the two countries. 1 have forborne from requiring any additional powers for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and welfare of my dominions, as well from an unwilling- ness to distrust the efficacy of the ordinary law, as from my reliance on the good sense and patriotism of my peo. ple, and on the solemn declarations of Parliament in sup- port of the legislative union. I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who have influence and authority in Ireland will discourage to the utmost of their power a system of pernicious a tion which disturbs the indastry and retards the improve. ment of that country, and excies feelings of mutual dis. Chi and animosity between different classes of my peo- ple. The Lord Chancellor, in her Majesty’s name, de- clared the present Parliament stood prorogued un- til Thursday, the 19ch day of October next. Progress or Pusryism.—The question as to whe- ther or not the principles held by Dr. Pusey, are in accordance with the rubric and canons of the Church, will,I am told,in the course of a few months, be brought before the proper ecclesiastical tribunals. {am further informed, that a paper containing the signatures of 1,000 of the cleray to a protest against Traetarianism, has been withdrawn {rom circula- tion, in consequence of the earnest remonstrances of several ot the Bishops. The British Queen, a paper published by the Paseyites to advocate their views, has sunk for want of support. Fr. The opposition to the introduction of certain forms and doctrines, savouring of Puseyism, has become so inveterate that the parish churchjot Shoreditch, formerly one of the most numerously attended of any place of worship at the east end of the me- tropolis, has been for some time past almost rae deserted. The circumstances in which the peris! is placed are of a singular character. The vicar has been absent upwards of twelve months; he is residing at Malta, by license of his diocesan, on & plea of mental aberration. The ministerial duties, therefore, devolve on two curatés, appointed by the vicar, and who are charged with making those in- novations against which the parishioners protest. Discovery or THE suProsED Munpsrer or Lory Norpuny.—At length the authorities have been en- abled to place this most mysterious murder in a train of judicial investigation. It is now about five years since the Earl of Norbury was assassinated in the cpen day in a plantation on his own demesne, and within view of his house. All that conld be obtained at, or subsequent to the inquest, was, that the murder was committed by a single individual, who was geen to cross the country atter the dread- Europe, and establish republics throughout all those countries. On hearing this remarkable disclosure, I had nothing further to ay about the technicalities of repeal. I assured them that I would send my re- porters to their meetings, and report their proceed- ings fully and accurately. I did so; and in these reports will be found an open avowal, by their speakers and leaders, of the real meaning ot the Re- peal agitation both in Ireland and the United States. At these mectings large sums were collected to be transmittedto Ireland; but among the native Ame- rican population there was great doubt felt of the propriety of interfering with the internal affairs of Treland, and there was a special objection to send- ing any money to Ireland, many probably thinking that the honest debts to foreign bondholders should be first liquidated, before money should be gene- rously sent to Dublin to create a revolution, or sup- ply the wants of Daniel O'Connell andhis men. In the midst of these feelings and views, while repeal in New York was raging very high, and apreading rapidly all over the country, while the “rent” was coming in from all quarters, some of the papers began the publication of Mr. O’Connell’s fa- mous speeches in the Corn Exchange, abusing and ecalumniating the Southern States, and avowing his purpose was tobeginan agitation against them as soon as he should have finished his Irish business. These violent speeches | republished in the New York Herald, and that gave them a very extensive circu- lation. I wished the peace and commercial inter- course of the two countries preserved and invigo- rated, not violated and weakened. These speeches were published, however, without any disrespeetfm remarks towards O'Connell. I still consider: d bim to be aman of as much purity of motive as of greet talent and tact; althougin subsequent experience has, inmy esomation, somewhat diminished both The cons quence Ot these pubiicadens, dis closing bis attacks on the southern Staies, aud Uae promulgation ot the whole trath, was to nip the Repeal agitation im the bud. Several meetines to pe held inthe neighborhood of new York turned out to be failures—little money was collected, In Philadelphia, a Repeal meeting ended in a row and little “rent.” In Baltimore, Charleston, and other southern cities, where Repeal associations had been formed, and large sume of money just ready to be transmitted to Ireland to draw a smile from the “Liberator” as it was counted out in the Corn Exchange—in all these cities the associations dis- tributed the “rent” for charitable purposes at home, and dissolved their existence forthwith. In this way, as the proprietor of a largely-circulating jour- tul deed had been perpetrated. An immense re- ward was offered, but no clue could be discovered to reach the murderer. A man, named Peter Do- lan, however, is now in custody, charged, upon sworn informations, es the actual perpetrator ot the deed. Dolan is repreeen'ed 2s having no accom- plice, and is described us having been the only per- son concerued in the murder.

It appears from a table published by order of the Minister of Commerce, that, during the year 1841, there were imported into France domestic animals for consumption to the value of 22,434,000t. ; animal matter, skins, undressed wool, &c. to the value of 114,323,000f. ; whilst the exports of the same nature amounted to only 15,000.000f. 5 The Commerce says, the forts of Paris are to be divided into two classes. The first will comprise. the forts of Mont Valerien, the double couronne of St. Denis, of the East, Romainville, Noiry le Sec, Rosny, St. Maur, Charenton and Bicetre These nine forts are to be armed with 36 and 48 pounders. | The secoud row of batteries 18 to mount a considera- | ble number of howitzers and mortars of a new co! struction, some of which will throw shells contain- ing 50 grenades. The second category will include | the torts of Ivry, Arcueil, Vauvres, Issy, Briche j and six other small forts designed to Pere the plain from Pantin and St. Denis to Neuilly. They will be armed with 24 pounders and long pieces of 16 guns. Mounted batteries ot 8 pounders are al- ways to be ready for sorties. The parks of artillery for each fortress will be organ d at the close of September. Draw-bridges are already erected to some of them, and the barracks and powder maga- zines are rapidly advancing to completion. * We cannotdeny,” says the National, “ what- ever be the causes which paralyze the progress of our agriculture, that our produce is much inferior to that of the English. The following is a compa- rison of the agricultural produce raised by one thousand families in France and in England :— Horses [ ve» 65 four times less. Oxen 0 203 six times less. Sheep 0 1,043 ten times less. Corn 66,000 hectolitres. 40,000 hectolitres. In France, it is calculated, that on every thousand square yards of ground there are thirty-three culti- vators ; in England, only twenty-eight. Our agri- cultural produce ought, therefore, to be at least equal to that of England ; and our inferiority conse- quently proves the want of skill amongst the French agriculturists.’” i The private accounts received from France repre- sent the harvest in Normandy, Brittany, the south- ern and western department, Picardy and the north, to have been most abundant, and far above the general expectation of the farmers, who have got their crops well lodged in their granaries. The favorable change in the weather for the last week has had a most beneficial effect in the wine districts ot the south and east, and che vintage, which com- mences generally this week, promises to be tar su- perior than was anticipated. In Belgium, Holland and Germany, the harvest has been gathered in, and has proved an excellent one, and prices are falling throughout the continent. In London the grasping bakers still charge ninepence and seven- pence-halfpenny for bread. In France it is only fivepence and sixpence the 4lb. 802. loaf. Emuassy ro Gutva.—The Presse observes that a French Embassy is about to be appointed to China. It must be remarked that the English ambassadors never approached the Emperor of China, because they always protested against the laws of etiquette observed at the Court of the Celestial Empire.

Spain. The Revolutionary Ministers carry all before them in the capital, The Queen gave a rand banquet at the Palace of the Prado on the 11th ult., in commemoration of the triumphjof the “natio- ual cause.” All the Ministers were present at it except S. Lopez, who was indisposed. The Queen was very gay, and the Infanta was “most gracious,” and evinced the greatest fondness towards her sis- ter. The evening was terminated by a ball, at which General Serrano had danced with the Queen and General Narvaez with the Infanta a While on board the steamer Betis, an the 30th July, Espartero had issued a protest against the re- cent proceedings in Spain. It is drawn up by the Minister of the Interior as a report of what the General “said,” in the presence of the principal persons who adsvaqained Hit ; by whom it is at- tested. It isin these terms. “That the state of insurrection in which various places (problaciones) of the monarchy were, and the de- jection of the army und navy, ¢biged him, without permission of the Cortes to quit the Spanish territory before the arrival of the period at which, according to the constiiution, he would cease to be Regent of the kingdom, (debia cesar ed el cargo de Regente del Reyno :) ‘That considering that he cannot resign the deposit of the royal authority which was confided to him, excepting in the form which the constitution permits, Dor upon any account (de ningun modo) deliver it up to those who un. constitutionally arrogate to themselves the title of govern- ment, he protested, in the most solemn manner, against whatever may have been or may be done contrary to the constitution of the monarchy.” By a decree dated the 16th, government had de- clured Don Baidomero Espartero, and those who signed his protest, deprived of their titles, ranks, employments, and decorations. In the provinces alldid notgo smoothly. An or- der of the government, dated the 10th, interdicted the assembly of a ‘General Junta,” which was to take place at Guernica ontheldth. The Junta at Bar- celona had again declared itself ‘supreme ;” and Prim, who had arrived there to assume the gover- norship, in vain endeavored to conciliate the Exal- tado majority. Blood had been shed, one man having been killed in an affray withthe troops, and the Junta had withdrawn to Atarazanas. e dis- creet Echalecu, who had so long refused to recognize the revolution, now held the citadel in the name of the de facto government, and refused to recognize the “Supreme Junta.” The Saragossa Junta in- sisted on the establishment of a Central Junta at Madrid. Ithad displaced the Judges and the Pre- sidentof the Court, who differed trom it. Another provincial trouble was the fierce demand ef the Basque Provinces to have restored to them their fueros, abolished under Espartero, aad promissed to them again by the Moderados and the French. Italy. The Augsburgh Gazette, of the 27th ult., publish- es the following extract of a letter dated Coire, Aug. 25th:—“‘An insurrection has just broken out at Bologna, which has ramifications throughout Central and Lower Italy. 500 or 660 armed men, composed principally of politcal eb glers, having failed to surprise the author! logna, fled to the mountains Amongst the rs are said to be the Marquis Tenara, the Count Zam- becieri, and M.

The treasury chest at Bologna had been re moved to the head quarters of the Count de Salis-Zisere.

Peascoution or THe Jews 1x IraLy.—At the very mo- ment when a § of toleration seemed to influence the feelings of society throughout the civilized world, we et to perceive that the tribunals of the pope are, in June, 1843, reviving at Rome and Ancona the very worst vroscriptions of that fell and sanguinary institute, the [iquisition, as will be seen by a pernsal of the following docum:+ nt :— 2 ‘ “We, Fra Vicenzo Salina, of the Order of Predicatori, Master in Theology, General Inquisitor in Ancona, Sinigaglia, Je inio, Cingoli, Macerata, Tolentino, Loretor Recanati, and other towns and districts, &c. “lt being deemed necesmary to revive the full observ- ance of the disciplinary laws relative to the Israelites re- siding within our jurisdiction, and having hitherto with- out effect employed prayers and exhortations to obtain obedience to those Jawvain the Ghetti (Jewries) of Anco- na and Sinigaglia, authorised by the d ch of the Sa cred and Supreme Inquisition ot Rome, June 10th, 1943, expressly enjoining and commanding the observance of the decrees and pontifical constitutions, especially in respect to Christian nurses and domestic servants, or to he sale of property either in towns or country districts, d and possessed aly to 1827, well as nently to that period, we decree as follow: “1, Krom the interval of two months after the date of jay, all gipsy and Christian domestics, male and fe- male, whether employed by day or hy night, must be dis- missed from service in the said two Ghetti; and all zene residing within. expressly prohibit irom employing ‘or availing them- selves of thi tian in any do oc- supation whatever, under pain of being —— «nished according to the pontifical decrees an¢ constitu: tions, “2, That all Jews, who may possess property, either in town or country, permanent or feat w or rents or interest, or any right involving shares in fanded property or leased landed property, must within the term of three months from this day aupees of it by @ positive and real und not by any prevended or factitious contract Shou! this not be done within the time specified, the Holy office is to sell the same by public auction, on proof of the an- ual harvestebeing got in. “3. 0 Hebrew family, shall inhabit the: nurses, and still less any Hebrew city, or reside in, or remove theit th of the total] property into, any town or district where there i# ne
