The press, for once, are nuanimity itself, when deseribix g the /éte, watch eurpassed anything Dublin has beheld for a quarter of century, and more than justified the anticipations thatthe opu- tent Mayor would sustain the dignity of his office with more than ordinary splendor, The recon- struction of the corporation, the elvetion of anen™ direly new corporate body, the enlarged po « erscon. furred upon them by the legislature, extinguished in men’s minds the smoldering embers of animo- sity, and afforded an opportunily and excuse for a cordid! fraternization. The dinner was superb, in ahe fullestsense of the term. The tables were pre- Pared for five hundred guests, comprising every ‘manin Ireland prominent for talent, position, or wealth. The old mansion house, redecorated for the event, was gorgeously fitted up with Irish da” marks, which blended gracefully with the ancien; oak panelling, revarnished and polished to display the elaborate carvings. The speech of Lord Clarendon, the preseat Lord Lieutenant of Ire. dand, was received with applause; the lan. guage he employed, and the sentiments he con- ‘veyed, were carefully considered beforehand, yet it needed no slight caution on the part of that Official, to shun flending the very sensitive politi- cians of the day; more especially to extract from them tokens of satisfaction. I can scarcely believe . itpossible for an Irish lord lieuenant to escal Wounding the prejudices of one or other of the po! tical parties. If he remain inert or passive, his talents and abilities are decried, he becomes aking fog, end he must prepare bimeelt (o be baited like adger, until he evinces signs of nnimation and ivity. If he adopts any apectal line of policy, one party or other thwarts lim, uoul, in despair, he either throws up the office in disgust, or assumes the leadership of a faction Ic is not to be eupposed, that where eo many able and amiable men have at various periods been called to the high office, that they changed their natures in removiog from one Jand to the other; that men Who were conspicuous for intellect, genius, honesty, and political ability, could suddenly be transformed «70 drivelting fools or incapable guides. You mus: search for the so- {ution of the mystery why such improbable trans- formations should Se prestaimnes, in the defects of the system. The Lord Lieutenani is not the elected of the people; neither is he tho nominee of the ingh representatives; he is divested of every attri- bute which would recommend him to the confi- dence ot the masseg; and it often occurs, that his previous educi had not been conducted with any reference his fature posinon. He is but a 1o0l in the hands of an English minister, and the policy of Engiand towards Ireland, whatever may b e been the intention of the English muistry, Imost uniformly been disastrous ‘he Lord Mayor’s banquet his been followed by political and by religious meetings. At the former there was a fusion of parties, the purpose of the meeting having been to protest against the medi- tated reduction of Ireland to the condition of an English county, and ‘her consequent degrada- tion should the proposition of last seesion be car- ried out, to abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant. The citizens do not cling to the lord heutenancy for ita ewa sake, but they dread thut its abolition would be but the prelude to the removal of the law courts, and all other public departments from Dub- din to London, and the consequent fruition of the policy of centralization, so fatal to the indepen- dence and prosperity of the people The peasy of Lord Clarendon had been on the decline previe ‘ous to the agitation of this question—tirst, from his treatment of Smith O’Brien ; secondly, from his conduct towards Lord Roden, both ace2pted leaders ful. It is one of those performances which must see to ct hend. lin spend io worthy of tie action; and he is condemned to carry 8} lbs more weight than his rival Voltiguer, yet the bet- ting odds are in his favor, and an even take cannot be had. Your countrymen heve so much taste in horse-flesh, that | presume they will not suffer the most memorable race of this day to pass by with- out witneseing it. Railway property is slowly recovering, but it has passed the crisis, and ali the lines are paying divi- dends. Sorre of them small enough. The rail- way line that runs from Dublin to Belfast is broken at Drogheda by the Boyne, from the waat of a bridge overthat river. Thiscompany have hitherto been deterred from prosecuting the work, dreading the cost. However,the triumph of the tubular bridge over the Menai straight, has given them confidence; and next packet you will see announced in the jour- nals, that this long promived bridge isto be coa- tracted for. [twill be something eu the plan of the Mcnaise bridge, but the tubes will have openings along the hae. The price fail deseriptions of produce continues depressed, and the Freuch farmers are praying for a bad harvest, in order to get rid of their over stock of flour. Taking the quotations of the Paria market asa guide, the second quality of ilour is not worth more than $4 per bbl. of 196 lbs. This price is very little above your rates. The weather has been singularly mild thas far; hardly have we had a'day’s frost, and consequently the gerdens are gay with early flowers, but we have had rain incessantly, enough to swamp any other country. This city is healthy, save thata new form of syphilitic disease of a formidable character has been introduced by the crews of some Greek vessels in the harbor.

She is still at Rome, The World’s Fair, THE PROGRESS OF THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION — HUGE LOCK OF COAL—SPECIMENS OF COAL MANU> FACTURE, ETC, [From the London Times, February 13 } h The preliminary arrengements for the opening in May, go on with great rapidity, and, though sotae days ago everybody was frightened at the amount of work that still remained to be accomplished, al- ready it has been seneibly lig ticability of doing all within the time placed, beyond adcubt. Nearly the whole ground area of the balding is now occupied by the hoardinge, within which the different sectious of industrial producte, end the various nations represented, are to be en- closed. The central and transverse avenues through which the crowds of spectators will circu- late are already chalked out, and, passing from point to point, one can indicate with his finger that in such a spot shall be exhibited the contributions of France, or Germany, or America; in another, ‘he manufactures of Manchester, or Birmingham, or Nottingham; in another, the produce of our co- Jonial or East Indian essions. Even dowa to the epportionment of spaces to individual exhi- bitors, the arrangements have been exten- sively carried forward, and, thurgh the recep- tion of articles will not probsly commence in right earnest until the commencement of next week, in most of the thirty sections into which our home industry has been divided, the exact extent of each allotment has been defined We have already explained the general princip! uson which the arrangement of the different di- visions and sections of articles in the building has htened, and the prac- been made by the executive committee; we shall now attempt to indicate the powvition of each class, marking those in which the apportionments of space have been completed. Agricultural imple- nents will occupy a section of very considerable extent on the south side. The lighter centribu- tions in the department of civil engineering will be placed in the gallery at the extreme west, while the heavier will be on the grouad floor to the north. Philosophical and medical instrument's will be ex- hibited in the west fallery, and in those running along each side of the centre aisle. Models of naval architecture will be disposed of in the side gallery looking northwards. The exhibition of precious metls will be placed in the front gallery, on the south of the centre aisle; and in this depart- ment the allotments have been completed. The same gallery will hold the collection of tapestry, lece, and embroidery, of which alzo the allotments are completed. Specimens of silk will be display- ed in the gallery at the south, and of pottery in the gollery at the north comer of the centre aisle, where the transept interseets it. The allotments of their respective parties; but at his levee or re- ception this week there were fully as many—nay, more than mighi have been expected, considering the decay which has fatien on all classes of society. Speaking of Smith O’Brier, reminds we that he has at lust consented to aceept a ticket of leave— in truth he had no ether alternative, for trained from his youth to the eleganeies and refinements of society, he must have passed through sufferings coarser natures Cannot comprehead—compelied, as -he Was, to consort with the_outcasts of a convic: population. He clung to the hope that some means of eecope might be devised, until he saw the last and fine! efiorts fade away, and he yielded to an imperious necessity which those who kaow the details of his convict life can appreciate i The agitation of the Papal aggression question is ‘conducted with much less bitterness of expression end feeling in Ireland than might be imagined. ‘The fect | account for thus:—The orange, or as- cendancy faction, have been taught by the acts and declarations of [nglish politicians that they were no lorger to regard themselves as the petted child- ren of England—that they must consen! to tolerate an equality, and possibly something more, on the of the Roman Catholie cherch, and the Roman Catholics, on the other hand, feel that, already commanding the large majority of ‘he population, with the rank of the dignitaries of their church re- cognized by law in Ireland, they had no iaterest in emberking in 2 controversy so interesting to Eng- fend. ‘Ihe Irish Roman Catholic church merely requires to be proclaimed the established church to reise it toa par with the same church in France—in truth, the church in France is less free, for the clergy ere the stipendiaries there of the govern- ment—whereas, in Ireland, they ere paid by the people; and better paid, | am informed, thanif sa- laried. The Roman Catholic priesthood of Ire- land have more to apprehend then gain from Papal interference. Take, as a sample, the nominatioa of the Primate, Cullen. Here wasa man drawn from ® mon Y years of his life, far away from his native land, and thrust by an *Ilalian monk,” as the Times styles athe Pope, over the heads of all the Roman Catholic clergy. Had Cullen beena man of rare genius and eloquence, there might have been some excuse for co evident a disregard of the feelings of the clergy; but Cullen, far from bemg one of the lights of the age, is pronounced inferior to many of the bishops and priests whose names are familiar to frish ears. is ideas, his language, and his doc- trine ure ultra-montene; and men of science sneer at his obsolete theory of astronomy. The love of freedom is implanted in the human heart, even though that heart be covered with the rerge of the priest. The assumption, Sf the Pope, of the right to nominal to the higher offices of the church, w keenly felt as an injustice, when such primates as Cullen are elevated above the crowds of able and ambitious priests; and church- men look forward to the day when the selec. tion will be made from their own ranks, and assume the form ofan election. In several recent instances, the Pope has nominated absolute strangers to bisheprics, overlooking Pena me | the supe- nior claims of the local clergy. He has thus created a party of priesthood who are favorable to a reatric- dion of the papal authority, and the English minis- try will probably take sivenseae of the — to introduce a law whereby all bishops, before nomi- mation by the Pepe, must obtein the sanction of the crown Such an enactment would be supported by the bulk of the Roman Catholics, and soften the exasperation felt in England at papal interference. ‘You are, in the United States, to have a supply of cardinals, as it is proposed to furnish you with two or three for your spirimal guidance, but the in- tended prince cardinals will discover that your in- stitutions and the free schools are fatal to the growth of an aristocracy, though concealed under ahe garb of a priest. fe exhibition is passing through those prepara- labors consequent upon the classification and arrangement of the goods. France asks for further delay to furnish her quota, and other countries are dilatory. The committee are well mgh oppressed ‘with the mogonitude of the task that devolves upon them, but they devote themselves to it with a zeal which promises the happiest results. They are golicitous to anticipate the wants and provide for the comforts of the foreigners—not the Americans, * for epeaking as they do the language of England— ahey will realize upon a stupendous scale, how aruly English and Americans omy} to the same family, when brought together in the face of 8.

There is something actually start- jing im being told that re muet perambulate twenty miles piled high with the costly products of every clime, merely to glance over the contents of the Crystal Palace. Who would venture to enu- merate, much less describe, the excellencies of each article | Who could find time to look around, and read in the countenances ef the rolling tide of human beings, the buried lineaments, and distin- ish the dress of different races. There is one pic of interest which divides the attention of a in both these sections have been settled. Glass will be placed in the gallery along the north side of the centre aisle, and the display of animal and vegetable raw produce will be on the side gallery looking southwards. Specimens of food will also be exhibited in this last mentioned part of the building. Moning and metallic raw pro- duce will be disposed of on id floor to the south. Hardware, the largest class of all, and with the greatest number of exhibitora, will be arranged along one of the main passages running east and west on the south side of the centre aisle. The cay of cotton and leather will front the centre aisle on the north side. Furniture will be arranged on both sides of it, and will occupy a very consid- erable space. Woollen and mixed manufactures will face the centre aisle on the south, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Bradford, and the other ex- hibiting towns hav: gh: yn to actin coacert, and determined to fitup the space allotted to them in the very best style. The display of printing and dyeing and of linen will be on the south side of the centre aisle. In all these sections, from silk down- wards, the allotments have been completed, and plans drawn out, in which each contribu- tor’s space is determined with the utmost precision. In the department of machinery, which is to occupy the north gide, the arrangements are not yet fipally settled, from the difficulties that bave been preseaved; and the allocation of manufac- tures in paper, and in animal, vegetable, and mis- cellaneous substances, still remains imperfect.— Throughout the distribution the reader will not fail to trace the observance of that general principle of arrangement which the Executive Committec at the outset laid down for their guidance, and which, while it removed machinery to the north, and raw »roduce to the south side of the building, reserves for the centre the brilliant colors, the diversified forms, and dazzling effets of our native manufac- tures. It will be heard with pleasure that in some of the principal deparuments of our industry, the ery, Where he had passed thirty | great producing towns have acted cordially togeth- er, and taken eteps to eecure a combined action, by which those portions of the exhibition might, as a whole, be placed in the most advantageous light. We have already noticed this praiseworthy feature in the chief seats of our woollen manufactures, and we have to add, that Manchester ard Birmingham, as becomes them, have shown a proper spirit of friendly and active co-operation with the l’xecutive Committee. London and Sheffield are more be- hindhand than any other places, and their culpable delay will, no doubt, tell seriously upon their de- artments of the show. ‘The local committees will bear in mind that, li the arrangements have been conducted under public inspection, ond as the | reputation of the country is largely involved in the success of the exhibdition, those of them which have i y difficulties in the way of a complete end satisfactory issue, will be held reapon- sible for the inconveniences and evils that may arise. | In dealing with most of the great towns and prin- cipal exhibitors, the|Exeeutive Committee have had no very serious obstacles thrown in their way. It is where they have had small contributors to ma- nage that they have had most to contend with. Their object has naturally been so to distribute the space that each locel division of a class shall be made, as far as possible, consistent with the archi- tectural charac‘er of the building. They have therefore sought to collect the homogeneous pro- ducts of different districts, as much as they could, | into the form of courts, and to prevent their running | into long narrow strips, destructive of La lagen a | arrangement, perplexing to the visiter, ance with the general design and fa interior. Judging from the plans w' v seen, they have been extremely successtul in this object ; and one can already anticipate in in a- | tion the charming eflect of so many quadré lar allotments, each filled up with industrial lucts | of a kind, and affording endless opportunities for contrast and comparison. The careless throng of apectators will be able to pase readily, and without any eense of confusion, from one enclosure to another; and the more attentive and studious, who go to the Crystal Palace for the pur- poses of instruction, will readily reciate the edvantages of a distribution which, like the codification of an unwieldy body of law, sim- plifies their labor in arriving at results, and leaves the mind to pursue its own nn gg unfatigued by any drudgery of investigation at the outset. From the forward state of the ge at vane mente, the public need fear no delay in the time appointed for the open . Inall the clasees, with one exception, the preparations are in an advanced state, and nearly all the in- formation that can be obt seems to promise a creditable display of our native industry. There ie, however, as we have already hinted, one most important department which appears to be behind- hand, and, unless great exertions are made, much disappointment will ensue. Some time oe the difficulty of fixing the very extensive mac! ine proposed to be exhibited was pointed out, and, should any considerable delay take place in this portion of the work, there seems too much reason to fear that, in a point where we are confessedly strongest, we may fail. It is to be hoped, there- fore, that contributors in this division will use their utmost efforts to be early on the ground rtion of the public. It is the approaching race tween Flying Dutchman, owned by Lord £; n= ton, and Voltigeur, owned by Lord Zetland. e race dey has not been positively decided; it is to be in the early ptt of May, and whatever wmey be the iene, will draw to the race und the larcest aveemblage Engiand ever The suide of Dutchman is positively held wonder- and that every nerve will be strained to oy advan- tageously the mechanical genius of the country. The building is now open for the reception of goods, and testeny the first arrival from f parveork place nt e shape of a piece of ture from Germany. ‘The public will be curious to know the pria- ciples which have guided the commission ia the ia spepeatios. of atoce beth tne: the. yroduete of ritish industry and for that of other countries. With reference to eur own peop! , they have been intluenced, to a certain extent, by the demand for allotments, pruning down this demand in the di- visions. where it Was most exuberant, and ea- couraaing it im those where it was most feebly displayed. As might have been expected, in a practical nation lke ours, little difficulty was experienced in finding a very large proportion of exhibitors In the departments of machinery and manufectures. These engrossing and para- mount branches of our industry wou!d almost of themselves have flooded the Crystal Palace with their products ; and it was absolutely necessary, in order to secure a choice selection of articles, to limit the space available for them. In the divi- sions of raw produce and ine fine arts there has been less competition, and to these, as struggling branches of our national industry, the commission have been more indulgent. Great difficulties have been found, both in confining machinery end ma- nufactures within manageable bounds, and in rais- ing the display of fine alts and raw produce toa scale commensurate with their importance. Even at present, in the fine arts department, a@ scarcity of contributions exists, and we believe that exhibi- tors coming forward at this late period with articles calculated to aid the general decoration of the build- ing, would have their applications favorably re- ceived. After all the exhibiting surface of the Crys tal Palace has been exhausted, ample space will still remain for ornamental purposes, and in a point whee, as a people. we are so deficient, it is to be hoped that the facilities now aflorded for giving an impetus to the fine arts in connection with manu- factures may not be neglected. In the appropria- tion of their allotments to foreign counties the commission have been mainly guided by the extent of their commercial transactions with ourselves. Of course there are nations, such as Holland, with whom our intercourse, though great, being depen- dent principally upon the extent of their mercan- tile marine, affords little scope for illustration at the Exhibition ; but, upon the whole, the areas al- loited to diflerent States that have volunteered con- tributions, tally pretty closely in relation to each other with what might have been predicted from the returns of their trade with us. One-half of the new building having been set apart for their use, it was, of course, necessary to intimate to each the space at its disposal. In most cases the space £o allotted fell short of what was desired, and there is no reason to fear that when the Exhi- bition is opened the portion cf the Crystal Palace eastward from the transept will be found at any point in an unfurnished state. Some countries wavered considerably about entering into the general competition invited, and the South Ameri- can republica are entirely unrepresented ; but the great ;uropean communities have entered warmly into Prince Albert’s design, and from France, Ger- many, Russia, and our cousins across the Atlan- tic, we shall have a display of industrial pro- ducts fully equal to the occasion. The New York Herald announces that the frigate St. Lawrence is being rapidly fitted up for conveying over the Unit- ed States’ contribution to the world’s show, and that in every part of the republic the best manufac- turers are at work perfecting specimens of their handiwork. It would appear from the same autho- rity, that the St. Lawrence is found unequal to the tracsport of all the articles intended for exhibition, ag itis announced that the war steamer Susque- hanna comes over direct to London. She is said to be a splendid veesel, and it is dicted that she will compare favorably with the best of her kind in the British service. As yet the Executive Com- miitee remain in profound ignorance as to what they may expect from most of the foreign countries that have intimated their intention to exhibit. Tunis, Sardinia, Hamburgh, par: of the Zollverein, Holland, and Nepaul have sent in their lists, but beyond these they know nothing specifically. It is singular that Nepaul should have been so prompt, considering the distance to which it ia removed. Its contributions will be included in the same divi- tion with those of the East India Company, on the weet side of the transept. Among the many re- markable points which daily present themselves in the progress of the arrange ments, not the least sin- gular is, that of all our West Indian colonies, not one hag intimated an intention or desire to contri bute to the world’s show. ‘The Mauritins, too, excepted.

The important coal-fields of Swansea will also be represented by an oblong piece of about seven feet by three feet, and weighing about four tons. The Cambrian states that this block is now on way to the exhibition, and that “considering that it is extracted from a vein only four feet thick, of the hardest coal known, will, we think, prove an interesting and not unworthy rival of the piece which we noticed in a former number, as about to be sent from the arent rd seamin the neighbor- hood of Tipton, which is comparatively soft. This coal waw extracted at a distance under ground of about half a mile fromthe bottom of the pit, to which, and up which—a depth of 106 yarde—it was conveyed without any addition to the ordinary means in use for the daily working of the pit, which is a balance pit. The collers, with that good sprit which we have seldom found wanting in Welsh workmen, —— gave up to the pur- se nearly three days, the only pay they asked for, ing some ‘crerw da,’ to celebrate the safe landing of the monster.

This has been protested by Prussia; and we are told by papers Denmark persists ia the erection of these custom houses, it will render a frencily feeling between Prussia and Denmark quite ii ible. Fudge! Both governments must now obey the orders of their master~-the in f Russia. It will, in- deed, render a friendly feeling by the people of Schleswig and Holstein towards the petty despot, | the King of Denmark, ‘quite impossible.” | We further see that the poor little State of Meck- lenburg has been obliged to consent to give quar- ters fer the winter to four thousand Austrian horse. | An Austrian army has also eacered the free town ot Hamburgh, which they have as much right to | enter as they would to take posseasion of Loudon.

The Atheneum, thovgh usually avoiding politica, con- tains a letter from Napies, by which it appears that the people are reduced to a state of absolute sla- very. All foreign books, of whatever nature, are prohibited. In Rome the Pope and cardinals are ima perpetual state of trepidation. His holiness, who has so terrified weak people in England of late, recently asked the French commander whe- ther it would not be prudent for him—the Pope—to retire to Gaeta again? Other accounts revive the report that his holiness contemplates abdicating; and itseems tolerably certain that some of the French soldiers have been fraternizing with the Roman people. Conspiracies are spoken of every day, and, in their terror, the cardinals commit hosts of people, men and women, on the most tri- fling’pretexts, to jail, where they remain with litle chance of fiberation till Mazzini and Gari- bald: set them free. Thisis not, perhaps, so im- robable a centingency as appears at first sight. yarabaldi is coming over from New York with @ ship or two filled with troops, which are tomake a descent somewhere on the coast of Italy, and that is to be the signal for a general rising, and, as some say, a slaughter of every priest the insurgents cap lay their hands upon. It is certain, we believe, that Mazzini is at Geneva. He is represented as having an abundance of money, raised under the name of the liberation fund, or some such term. Men are flocking to his standard in great numbers, and he seems to calculate upon making a descent from the Alps into ae There has been some fighung in Switzerland, but the accounts are very | dark. The socialists are said to bein arms. This | seems an odd soy, as the government itself is ra- dicel, and something more. Austria, other ac- counts etate, is determined to put down the revolu- tionary government in Switzerland, as elsewhere, and is preparing an army to invade that country. So that, altogether, the continent seems to be in @ fair way of becoming, ere long, a battle-field be- tween the two grand principles of the day—demo- cracy and absolutism. Neither party can make certain of victory, for it is doubtrul how far the ebeolutists can depend on their armes. A conspi- racy, on avery large scale, has just been discovered at Vienna, said to embrace a vast number of the officers of the army, and two regiments have been hurried from Vienna, which formed, it is supposed, the nucleus of the conspiracy. Scene in the French Assembly, Fallgnant’s Mesenger of Februxry Mth, con. tains the discussion in the Assembly on the propo- sition to give the President, Louis Napoleon, a large sum out of the public treasury, to enable him to pay his debts incurred in giving fetes and treats at the reviews of the army, and dinner balls and parties. The proposition was defeated by 120 ma- jority cut of 600 votes. In that debate, Moni Montalembert, who was in favor of the proposi- tion, made a evirring speech; but having exhausted his physical strength, was allowed to rest a few minutes.

The principal events of the mueical season at Kevigsburg, have been the production of “La as i Fee Aux Roses” of Halevy, and the concerts of the sisters Mernda.

THE FARLGREY TO THE RIGHEHON. THE EARL OF EL@IN AND KINCARDINE. Dowsixe street, Jan. 27, 1851. My Lord—1 have hithernty deferred answering your lordship’s despatch No. 193, of the 19th of uly last, in which you transmitted to me an ad- dress to her Mejesty from the House of Assembly, on the subject of the clergy reserves, because when this despatch{reached me, the session of the provin- cial legysiatuze having already been brought to an end, aod that of the Imperiel Parliament beiag about to close, nothing could, for some months, be done on the subject referred to, and I therefore thought it advisable that it should be reserved for that full and deliberate consideretion of her Ma- jesty’s governmentgwhich its difficulty and im- portance deserved. 2. I have now to instruct your lordship to in- form the Houee of Assembly when it shali again be culled together, that their address to the ea, which was transmitted to me in your despatch, has been laid before her Majesty, and that her Mojesty has been pleased to receive it very grae clpnaly- You will further inform the House that while her Majesty’s servants greatly regret that a subject of eo much difficulty us that of the clergy reserves should, after an interval of some years, have again been brought under discussion, it has appeared to them, on mature deliberation, that the desire expressed by the Assembly inthis addreas oughtto be acceded to, and they will accordingly be prepared to recommend to Parliament that an act should be passed, giving to the provincial Le- grelature full authority to make such alter v‘ions as they may think fit in the existing arransements with regard to the clerzy reserves, provided that existing interests are respected. 3. In coming to this conclusion, her Majesty’s government have been mainly influenced by the consideration that, great as would, in their judg- ment, be the advantages which would result from leaving undisturbed the existing arrangement by which a certain portion of the public lauds of Ca- nada are made available for the purpose of creating afund for the religious instruction of the inhabi- tents of the province, still the question whether that arrangement is to be maintained or altered 13 one so exclusively aflecting the people of Cannda, that its decision vught not to be withdrawa from the provincial legislature, to which it properly be- longs to regulate all matters concerning the do- mestic interests of the province. 4. Ithas therefore Fi ared to her Majesly’s go- vernment that it would be impossible for them, con- sistently with the principles on which they have always held that the government of Canada ought to be conducted, to advise her Majesty to refuse to comply with the prayer of the address of the House Abandonment of the Ciergy Reserevs In Ca. | M. ve midst of revolutionary storms.

(Laughter ) M. pe Montateunert considered that in his present remarks he was not deviating from the question. It had been said that a Presideat was note king. Dut what, he would ask, were ki constitutional kings? They were presidents for life, hereditary or otherwise. (Laughter) What was the President of the Republic! AKing for four years? (Loud denial on the Left.) ‘hat were the attributes of royalty wanting? Was it the right of making peace or war? Constitutional kings had never really exercised i'. Was it the veto? That had never been made use of in France. In England, 5S years of constitutional royalty, how many times had it been used? Not once. (Leughter and agitation.) Was it hereditary nghis!

We have already noticed a sofa and some oth- er articles of furniture which were to be sent from Wemyss, carved out of solid blocks of coal; and we understand that an elegant snufl-box, made from a particular specics of carbonic coal in its natural state, will be sent to the great depot of all that is rich and rare of the productions ot the world. A correspondent informs] us that the carbonic mineral takes a polish so very transpa- rent and beautiful as to vie with that of the richest and finest alabaster and marble. It has been as- certained that itcam be fitted into fine lobby or bed-room tables, of a deep and rich polish. It will also be of great utility in form: inely polished picture. frames, flower-urns, watch-seals, pillars fo mantelpieces, public monume: and for other purposes, and at an expense so trivial as to be al- most within the reach of all. In addition to these more prominent —— tives of this portion of our mineral wealth, there will also be specimens from each of the different coal fields throughout the country. State of the Kuropean Continent. The Emperor of Kussia has determined that no kind of communication shall take place between the peeple of Prussia, or of the Grand Duchy of Posen, and between the ple of Poland. The confines, or frontiers, of Poland are now guarded with the utmost watchfulness. At distances of about half an English mile there are bivouac fires burning along the whole line; two sentiaels are incessantly upon the march between one picket and the other; the whole line is also frequently inepected by a patrol of cavalry ; and if the print of a human foot crossing the line is detected, the sentinels receive og eng ‘on the spot! Now, surely His Majesty the iE:mperor of all the Russias is taking a litle unnecessary trouble ia this matter. It will not be long, as thingsare going on, before all Germany, not excepting Prussia, will be as completely at his mercy as Poland itself is. Under the Emperor's happy rule, there will be as much peece in one country as in the other. The King of Denmark is an apt scholar, too, of his imperial majesty. He—this Danish Koon has ordered a line of custom houges to be erected betwe the two German provinces, (for they were, are, and ever will be, German provinces, let the autocrate at home or abroad say what they may,) Schleswig and Holstein, eo as to eep them in commercial and financial matters, cut off all intercourse between the people of the taiking. and yet never demand permission to ad- drees the Assembly.

Miot — Such wunge (Cri f ** Order, order!” A Voice on the right.—Such are the men who speak of parliamentary government. M. Dr Montaremnat -~If an honest burgher had been elected President of the republic, then @ refusal to give him funds to keep up his dignity could be understood. But when the nephew of an emperor, of that emperor whose memory was 80 beloved by the French nation, wae elected, it was a matter of necessity to give him the means of sup porta his rank. (Denial), Here were two powers elected by the people, one by separate portions of it, and the other by the great mass of the electors, by not lees than five and a half millions, thus giving him a sanction almost without measure, and far be- yond what any legitimate king could boast of, and yet the one, and, in his opinion, that of the weaker origin, pretended to have a right to restrain the other, elected by the greater number, by a thou- sand paltry and vexatious acts. (Movement ) Here were two powers shut up for four years, in a cage, together, and yet one was constantly trying to annoy the other. He would ask was that worthy of the Assembly of a great country like France? Let the Assembly retlect well before it voted. He implored eee for the people, grace for the country, grace for those who only desired tranquillity and liberty to labor. If the present dis sensions continued, when the great moment of 1852 arrived, the peasants would be diagusted with the men whom they had elected; they would say, “look at those whites; they have done nothing but vel; letus change our hands and elect the reds. (Loud laughter on the left) It was ia order not to have so terrible a result that he im- plored the ae to pause, and not allow the coun'Ty to euppose that it was determined to oppose the Executive power inthe very matter which, of all others, was most strongly required to keep up its dignity. The Assembly could prevent that opinion from being formed by adopting the bill. (Great agitation.) Pav rrrism 1x Inet ann —The number of persons in Ireland receiving out-door relief, during the year ending September 29, 1843, was 1,419,020; in 1349, the number fell to 1,210,486; and in 1950 there was a much greater diminution, for the numbers were only 372,088. In 1848 the deaths in the work. honses were 63,419, mn 1849 they fell to 47,756, and in 1850 they stood at 47,469; but the rate of mor- tality had felien from if-3, first to 7:8, and then to 6.0. In the meantime the workhouse room has increased from 114,129 persons to o is too insolent > icient for 239,931 of Assembly; and they have had the leas difficulty in coming to this conclusion, because they have ob- served with satistaction that the Assembly, in their address, have recognized the claims of those who are now in the enjoyment of incomes derived from the funds realised by the sale of the lands in ques- tion, and have not asked that any alteration of the act of Parliament now in force authority should be given to the provincial legislature to interfere with the continuance of these incomes for the lives of the parties by whom they are received. The course thus taken by the Assembly 18 alike con- sis'ent with seund policy and with justice, and has obviated what would otherwise have been a great difficulty in the way ot accomplishing the object they have in view. 5 You will cause copies of this despatch to be loid before both houses of the parliament of Canada at their nextmeeting. ihave,\c, (Signed) The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, &c.
