’ ? And if not, can they be sound po-

ro 'cal economyi“ Let Miss Martiaeau, m, ho is exceedingly fond of the term subsu- fo, ,. e-fund, as expressing that portion of ital which set the laboring class to ark, reflect, that this consists, in fact, of ' d; and little else; and we do not des-

od ir.of her coming round to the opinion, of ut that absenteeism is an evil, since, by ed using an exportation of food, it dimi-

‘shes the subsistence fund; and that a poor

m which should compel Irish landlords to are to their starving fellow-countrymen, purchase of their labor, a little of that ood which is now sent on their account to nglaud, would itself provide the capital ecessary for setting the poor Irish to ork. .

Orders have been issued by Government, di. ecting that no more than one—fifth ofthe Irish ‘onstabulary Police, shall be married men.

similar order has been for some time strictly nforced in the army.

, R/IJVCE AND .NL’IPOLEOJV' THE THIRD.

we copy the following article from the Con- z'lulionnel of last .Monday, which considered tofso much impo’i-tance as to give it insertion n a second edition, a proceeding to which the )7 each papers never have recourse unless on me occasion of great and pressing emergen-

y:

“ A report has been in circulation for some ime ofoverturcs made to Prince Joseph, bro- her of Napoleon the Great, with a View to ain his adhesion to the Republican cause.— he news ofto-day is, that the negociations re broken 0t}, and the following anecdote is elated to eXplain his rupture —Persons provi- ed with necessary powers were charged to la ako a Communication tr. the Prince. From he very first overuse on the subject the latter isclosed his feelings'without circumlocution : sans detain) he declared that since the death ofNapoleon the Second, he considered him- self” a legitimate heir 0fthe imperial throne— t bewas ready to assume the reins ofthe state under the name of Napoleon the Third, ahd‘io take an oath of fidelity to the constituents of the empire, as Well as to the decrees and scnalus consullut and further be was desirous to take the opinion of the nation on the changes; which considering the actual state of France it was necessary to introduce into the organic institutions.”

' We admit, that the case of English absen. teeism,oonsidered merely with respect to what our authoress’s narrowsminded school calls Polilical Economy, stands on different grounds. England exports nothing but manufactures, C while Ireland exports little else but food. The

rental of an English landlord *who resides ~ abroad can only be remitted in the shape of ‘ manufactured articles. which must be the first purchased of English workmen with the food grown on the landlord’s estate. The Irish ab- sentee; on the contrary, can only have his rents remitted in the shape of food—and it needs no laboured demonstration to prove, that, the more food goes out of the country, the less remains behind to supports its inhabi- tants. ‘

From the London Spectator. “ o’comvsnn’s ‘rnocumnron.’

The Suppression Bill is not merely to be held in {snorem over the heads of the Irish disturbers. Lord Plunkett’s ‘ strong hopes that it would not be necessary to enforce it in a single instance,’ go for nothing. The intelligence that the Royal Assent had been given to the bill was scarcely a day old at the Castle, when Lord Angleasea resolved to exercise the powers which it conferred upon him. We shall now have an opportu- nity of observing how far the anticipations of its supporters will be realized by the practical working of the measure. So much for the acts of the nominal rulers of Ireland ; now for the decrees ofthe virtual Sovereign. Mr. O’Connell has also issued his proclamation,.«lated London, April 4th, to the peOple of Ireland. In this document which is only the first of a weekly series, he strongly eujoins his fellow countrymen to obey the laws and eschew Whitefeetism

—to agitate peaceably for the repeal of the Union, and thus set ‘ Angleasea’s gagging- bill’ at defiance. The letter concludes with some ridicule and abuse of the new Secretary, Sir John Hobhouse, and his prophecies of the benefit which Ireland is to derive from his administration. This letter is an instructive commentary on the Suppression Bill ; which Earl Grey so em- phatically andrepeatedly declared in his opening speech, was introduced princi ally for the purpose of putting down agita ion, and quelling the cry for the repeal of the union. It is impossible not to see that the power of O’Connell to carry his point, is increased, instead of‘bping weakened by the bill. Of this he ls'fully aware. The more the People detest the Government, the greater is the submission which they pay to him. No doubt, we think that it Mr. O’Connell were really the friend to Ireland which he professes to be, he would endeavor to co-operate with Sir John Hob- house in his promised measures of amelio- ration : he would use his influence to pre- pare the minds of his fellow-countrymen for their favorable reception, instead of endeavoring to excite a prejudice against their author by vulgar abuse. But 0’- Connell follows his vocation, and cannot or will not see his duty as we see it.”

THE WELLINGTON HOTEL TO LET. H I S Establishment has been

long known as the first public House, and best adapted for the accommodation of Travellers of any in the Island The present occupier is desirous ofleaving the Premises, in consequence of the House (as a Public Establislnnent,) requiring more care and attention, in order to secure that patronage its owner for a long succession of years enjoyed, than he can possibly de- vote to its management. The House is roomy, and indeed so well known by the Inhabitants in this place, and those per- sons in the habit of visiting it, as to need little or no comment. The Building was thoroughly cleansed and painted, interior and exterior, twelve months ago, at the expense of the present occupant. There IS, also, attached to the Premises, a large Garden,well stocked with a variety of Fruit Trees. Terms and other particulars made know on application on the premises. A large portion of Bedding and Furniture, is let with the Premises.
