‘Tom Sreece.—The mortal remains of this unfor- tunate gentleman were on Friday, evening placed on board the Dublin steamer Duke of Cornwall, for con- veyance to Kingstown, preparatory to their interment in Glasneyer Cemetery, beside.the tomb of his late pol- itical leader. It was the last request of Mr. Steele that such should be his _resting-place.

Forcrry ny A Prer or THE Redvm.--The Lord Chancellor acquainted their lordships that bills had been found in Scotland aginst Viscount’ Arburthnot, a Scot- tish Peer, for forgery, and it would be for their lord-

cathering, in every section of the country. The tone of ships to determine what course should be'taken upon

the Nation, the Felon, and the Tribune is not less belli- sose than at any previous day. The Protestant Repeal Association continues its regular meetings—the Con- ‘aderates hold theirs—yet there has been no actua] “ fraternization” of the Old and Young Ireland Parties; but, on the whole, though there may be less speeching, and. less “ felony,” in print, there appears to be as much work, as much preparation—as much “longing for the fray,” as any former accounts from Ireland have indicated.

Some arrests are reported to have taken place in Ireland under the new Felony Act. A Warrant had been issued for the apprehension of Mr. John Martin, Editor of the Felon, but at the latest dates’from Dublin,

(the 8th) this gentleman had not fallen into the hands of

the police.

“The Revolution of France,” says the European Times, “has assumed a more promising aspect. The late insurrection having been completely quelled, and tranquillity apparently restored, General Cavaignac, as the almost irresponsible Dictator of France, seems to be zealonsly occupied in consolidating the Government ; the funds are rapidly improving, and, for the first time since the overthrow of the monarchy, the hope is raised that France wil] secure for herself, after all her blood- sed ahd sacrifices, an effective, just, and moderate Executive.”

There have been a few changes in the Ministry of

Mrance. A great many arrests have been made, and the number of prisoners now in the hands of the Govern- ment is about 10,000. It is said there are 200,000 soldiers and volunteers in Paris--a force competent, no doubt, to crush any further attempt at an insurrection.

The quarrel between Germany and Denmark, respect- ing the Duchies Schleswig and Holstein, is still un- decided. '

Late intelligence from Berlin announces that Russia has declared War against the whole German Vonfede-

the matter. The practice in these cases had uniformly been to appoint a committee to inyuire into the course of proceedure, and report to the House}what proceedin were fit to be adopted. Another course ‘also uniformly adopted had been to take into custody the party accused. In the present case, where the party: was not in cus- tody, he apprehended their lordships would be of opinion that to prevent any delay or tailure of justice taking place, the Biack Rod should be directed'to take the

y into custody. The committee, according to prece- dent, should be a general committee of the peers who had attended Parliament during the present Session, five to be a quorum, and'the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas might be summoned to attend.—A committee was then accordingly appointed, and the Usher of the Black Rod was directed to take Visccunt Arbarthnot into custody.

A Roranp For AN Oxiver.-—The Marquis of Water- ford and some friends one day took their places in the fourth-class carrying car of a railway, To punish such doings, the railway people hired a couple of sweeps, all covered with soot, and put them beside them. At the next station the marquis bought first-class tickets for the sweeps, and put them in to adorn the silk and leather covered seats.— Liverpool Albion.

Mr. Robert Holmes, the eminent barrister, who beard- ed the judges at the close of his client Mitchel’s trial, has been twice in prison—once for challenging a bro- ther barrister, and once for his supposed connection with the rebels of 1798.

The Roman correspondent of the Daily .Vews. says, ‘The English are vanishing fast from Rome. The con- gregation, which averaged 500, has sunk to 100, and the parson has put his flock for the Jast month on limit- ed rations, having cut off the vesper sermon alto gether.

Tue Penious State or Mexico.--We learn that the pronunciamento of Parades has met, with more favour than is generally supposed.
