Lonpon, July 14, 1848, The Chartist Trialsx—The Irish Arrests—Fut- tures—Prince Albert—Agricultural Meeting— Cheap Literature The Actor Macready—Lon- don Sherijjs. The Chartist trals are now at anend, and a general sentence of two years and three months imprisonment, has been passed on all the prison- ers; at the edpiration of which time they will have to find bail, in tolerably heavy amounts, to keep the peace, So summary a way of disposing of these malcontents, must tend to cheek all fur- ther attempts at rioting, and teach a very usetul lesson to those inclined in raising disturbances without cause. The hundreds of poor deluded operatives, who have become unconsciously the dupes of these men, now must feel themselves left in the lurch. ‘To trust their cause to a parce} of people, who are anxious only for their own in- terest, and then discover they are m a worse post- tion thaw betore, is disheartening—to see they have contributed to a fund raised only to bring in- to notoriety a bund of orators, and then find they are deseried, is no pleasant retrospect. Itis to be hoped thet 2t will show them the neee: weighingin a proper balance, the chara the persons they are resolved to trust 1a fut select men of some practical ability, wad good standing in the ufjairs of the cquatry. ‘The absurd Chartist scenes of Jate, have retarded the progress of the working man’s ¢! rt least, for ten ears, I do otmeun they will not experience enefit for ten years, but, that before the completion | | i EUR of their improved condition, a time of this dara- ton must elapse. The reason 1s this—that many influentia! people, formerly favorable to the cha: neiples, now look upon it with dis ter and it trust and aversion. There is much more cause for real discontent in Treland, att present moment.

You will see this from the summa ‘ye Its probable it will be prorogued about the second Week in August. Parties in the House are ina | very comical position; in point of fact, itis now | almost impossible to say what ore the different | sections, so divided are they. Lord Russell relies | upon Sir Robert Peel for his support, which, gene- | rally speaking, he is lucky enough to obtain. If he did not succeed in ae oe Sur Robert in his ranks, the ministry would in a single night be overturned. To imagine that we can go on in this State, 1s to take a wrong view of the question. On | all sides people are complaining of the depressed state of trade; the shopkeepers, of all grades, are loud in their exclamations against the, policy of the government; and I really do not believe that the country’s commercial interest was ever in so criti- cal a position. The gazettes teem each day with announcements of the failures of houses hitherto | supposed to have been sound ; and speculation in | money matters 1s eatirely at a discount. About this time last year, hundreds and hundreds of rail- | Way companies were in various shapes distributing their money, either in the projection of new lines, | or in the extension of their trunk line. Now, no- | thing of the kind is jeard of; the few calls made | by respectable and well established railway com- panies, are met with difficulty. I was at a meet- ing, the day before ocrany,. of the shareholders of the Toronto and Lake Hiron Railway, held at the Canadian Company’s oflice. Mr. Franks was in the chair. It was said there were no doubts | but that the tine must ultimately prove a most pro- | fitable concern, but taat it was inexpedient to take | lnmediate measures with refereace to it. These | reasons were alleged :—That it would be better if at could be brovght into connection with some | other lines ranning through Bntish North Ameri- | ca; and that the tightness of the money market | rendered it, at the present moment, an imprudent proceeding. The directors assured the sharehold- ers that every possible endeavor had been mad to keep down the expenses, which, during the pust ear, Only amounted to £75 19s 9d, thus leaving ¢ alanee in hand of £256 13s 8d. During the week, we have had an agricultaral meeting, on a very large scale, at York, attend, by nearly all the aristocracy (who take interest in such matters) in the kingdom. Prince Albert was there. His Royal Highness has, tor some t past, taken an interest in farming and breedin, 1 y prosp’ | | cattle, and cons cnenty appeared much pleasec with the proceedings. He has, at various exhibi- tions of a similar kind, gained frequent prizes, not awarded to hing out of flattery, butd have heard many competent judges rem: that he deserved them. Agricultural societies ate gaining growth in this country, being patromised by many of the tich nobility, who, in addition to enrichi funds of the’ i terest in their welfare, Of course itis unneces: ary to state that they are lable to abuse ; and rumors have been afloat to the effect that the cattle on the estates have been better fed and cared for than the dependants, | he principle of a “large number at a small y being better than a small number at a large price,” 1s being brought now fast into practice as regards cheap literature. more especially in newspaper | matters. The Daly News was the tirst to. break through the high price combination, and there is every reason for supposing the paper to be a remu- | nerative concein, — Of course it cannot be antici- | pated to rival the Z¥mes in point of numbers and profit, but it will surprise you when I tell you that the number of stamps, according to the official re- turn of the government, issued to this journal dur- ing the year 1847, was 3,447,009, being within eight of the whole distributed to the other morn- | if rs, the Times excepted. ‘This isan instance of what perseverance will complete; and as far as i id liome, they are g the tion, personally take great in- | regards expenses, both foreign ani net behind any of their contemporaries.

He is a very clever, active fellow, and excites a great sensation here. Macready’s benefit the other mght a “‘bamper.”” more thon ordinary Pie The post office accounts for the’ year 1847 have just been made out in the shape of a parliamentaiy retum; and amongst a host of other charges for packet services abroad, I find that the contract price for the steamers from Liverpool to Halifax and Boston for the year was £85,000, to which must be added incidental charges’ amounting to £860 thus making the total expense on this line for the year £85,860, An amnsing circumstance has just taken place, connected with the judicial affairs of the eity of London. Two gentlemen have been elected to eerve as sheriff for the ensuing year; both have clined. One has paid the fine of £800 according to the stutute, and the other is to be proceeded againet in the court of law for his fine. From this it would appear no enviable thing to be elected a sheriff ‘and have an melination to refase to serve. D. Emigration from Great Britain, [From the London Globe, July 9.) Tt ay mont by the Colonial Land and !migration Commis sioners, that the total number of persons who emigra- ted from the United Kingdom during the year 1517, ‘Was 258,270. ‘The number is remarkable, as it ia» bout twice as great as that of any previous year. Of the 20 years immediately preceding 1847, the four which were marked jy the pipet emigration were apa eben the number was 103.140); 1841, 118.500; 1842, 128.800; and 1846, 129,850.

As tothe direction of this stream of emigration— during the last twenty years, about half the emigrants of each year have gone to the United: States; and of Jate yegrs the number movingin that direction has in+ creased. A large proportion, also, of those landed at the ts of the British North American colonies, espegally the mere laborers, find their way to the States’ within the frst year or two. Dedueting an siyerage of seven or eight per cent. for all other pluces, the remainder go to our North American colonies. In the four years, 1828-41, there was a considerable increase of the emigration to Australia and New Zea- land. In 1841 the number reached 82,000; but since that yeur the annual average has not exceeded 2,000 or 0007 Of the emigrants of 1847, about three fifths (153,900) sailed from English ports, and 95,700 from lrish, and § 600 from Seottish ports. “But these numbers do not show the proportion proceeding from each division of the kingdom Im the first place we have to deduct the foreign emigrants, chiefly German, who embarked from London ‘These were 10,800 in number. ‘They, therefore. reduce the tutal’'to about 248,000, and the apperently English section of it to about 143,000, Further. the number embarked st Liverpool was no less ian 102.600 ; and of these there is reason to be- fieve that four itis (sty 80,000) were persons who had come immediately, or Tecently from Ireland, This further reduces the English coatribution to the total, properly s 4. 2.000, And, further, asof the whos in Scottish ports no less than 5,600 were from Gins whieh bas a props Irish-born population quite equal to that of [ and offers similar facilities for the emburkati emigrants, we may, perhaps, rafely add the trith section, deducting from th lend n to Scot- tion of the year will then, im thus + 63,060 . 6,600 « 179,400 From Scotland From Ireland, . e total number of 810. Of these 577 were tion due to the British emigration would be 6,233 considerably less than three per cent. Gut this pro- portion was evidently very unequally divided, ‘The 95.700 emigrants who embarked at among them only $11 exbin one in the hundred ; while th Trish ports had 0, or about. hundved, The disturb large proportion of Irish embarked at Liverpool But taking these, as at $0000 and allowing them, out of the 4,713 cabin parsengers (not foreigners) going from England, the proportion of 1 per cent., as indicated by the emi. gration from Irish ports, we have about 4,000 cabin parsen gers to a total of 65,000 English emigranta, giving about six in the hundred Whence we mny infer, that the propertion of cabin passengers among the 70,000 English and Scottish emigrants was six or seven times 68 great as aivong the 180.000 Irish, It may aiso be worth while to observe the proportion ofeach nge und tox. The accounts before us being framed under a law which recognises only one distine- tion of age—thxt marked by the age of 14—the division cannot be otherwise than ronghly made. We haye no means of ascertaining the various ages of those return- ed as “adults.” orhow large a proportion of then more or less than 30 years of age beyond then andso advancing towrrds an age the exertions of a new settlement gers are al, cluded from this part of the inquiry. ‘The rewaining 251,460 (including about 9,800 foreigners) were thus diyided :— for abin passen- Above 14. Under 14, Males. 100,19 622 Females 76,652 112,333 Thus, the whole nuinber of cbildren under 14 was nearly equal to the number of females over that age ; and i distributed in the proportion commouly a . as the average of three to each married cou number of couples so provided would ba only leaving about 51,700 of the females of over 14 without children, Many, however, were no doubt unmarried. though above that age; and some, particularly amon, the large proportion of Irish peasantry, who a0 not wi lingly depart from their elderly. relatives, mast have been aged. Generally, the proportion of the sexes is a8 fayoreble as’ could be expected ; and is, perhaps, as nearly “ache as is desirable with reference to the first arduous labors ofa new settlement. It is remarkablo that the proportion of adult females is considerably larger among the emigrants to Canada than among these to the United States. This probably attribuia- ble to the wider and more various field of exertion and enterprise offered by (ap States to young unmarried men. One or two features of the returns remain to be no- ticed. The Australian emigration seems to be fur- nished almost entirely by England; by fur th part of it from Piymouth, and nearly all the r London, Scotland sends nenrly as many to the Indies (108) as England (195), notwithstandin difference of six to one in ihe population, The c ape like Austria, has scarcely any British emigeants, ¢ All who embark 4,890, d from Irish ports went to North America, excepting two, which went to the West Indies; and the foreigners who embarked at London, like the Irish, also all went to North America—8,651 to the United States and 1,067 to Canada. Hence it wonld appear that the new fields of colonization are chiefly occupied by tho f lish; that the Scotch have nearly an equal share them in the emigration to the West Indies and other places in the West, exclusive of North America; and that the L.t*er region absorbs all the emigration from Ireland—wh' quite in accordance with ( tive distribution of capital. skill, and enterprise in the three divisions of the kingdom, Nationol Assembly Portyaits, Who dees not know that sharp, but intellectual- looking face, those now pinched and withered, but noble ieatures 2 It is the poet statesman La- martine.

Old Beranger, the poet, too, is gone, with his long grey hairend fine intelligent head ; the disorder ‘was too much for the stout-hearted but aged man. But there are others upon whom our eyes may wander with interest.

And, to correspond, Berlin had its a tack on the arsenal, the capture of the musket with their subsequent restoration. The gover ments ot both, whom the revolution had insialled, are now displaced almost simultaneously, and’, part pass, both advance in a similar course of conservative reaction, . How to account for this is easy enough, without inferring communication of plot. or coun plot between the two capitals. Similar agenct work in each, though not combined in i and like causes have like effects. ion, which agitated Paris, ha ly puzzled and perplexed Berlin. Fora tim ch, it is summarily solved, or rather p poned, by military intervention. A deputation the other day, which waited upon Von Shreckenstein, to express their suspicions a the collection of troops, was bluifiy informed, that at the present moment there were already 6,000 reops in Berlin ; “and if,” added the minister, ou give me any occasion tor them, Pll have in 20,000 more in six hours.” ‘This declaration contemporaneous with the dismissal of laborers employed by the government. to recognise the principle that it is bound to find employment for its cuvriers.

While John of Austria is the centre of so much political interest, a brief sketch of Ins career may be interesting to many, for it belongs more to the past generation than the present. He is the brother ot the lute and uncle of the reigning emperor; he was born in 1782, and has therefore reached his 66th year. He was educated and thrown in active Iie duaing the stormy times of the first French re- volution; as early as 1800 he was placed in com- mend of an Austrian army; but he Was not fortun- ate; the battle of Hohentinden tried him in the fire ol misfortone, and the utmost he could effeet was by, his personal gomge and example to keep the spirit of the Austriun forces from being quite erush- ed Ly the defeats they sustained from the aimice, led by the ablest of its generals. Atter the jecce of Laneville he was appointed Director of the ectps of Engineers and of the Military Academy of Vienna. Notwithstanding his youth, he was the rctof many bright expectations in that gloomy period; he became exeessively popular, especially in the Austien provinces. He originated the mea- sure of arming a Landwehr, or Militia, and served through the campaign of 1865. The next few ye irs were the most Cisa:trous in the annals except, perhaps, the present one.
