IRELAND.

Mr. O’Connell has given a new title to the Na- tional Society for obtaining Justice for Ireland, by substituting “for obtaining Repeal of the Union: He has held two meetings in connexion With this topic, one at Rathmines, near Dublin, on Sunday, and the other in the Corn Exchange on Monday. DUBLIN, July 31,—The Repe ers had a great day—a regular' field-day at the Corn Exchange. The accession to their numbers Will send terror to the stoutest heart of the Sassenacli and the stranger. Fancy six pounds ten shillings from a number of matrons and spinsters, denizens of thc cIasSic pur- lieus of Mary’s-lane, alias Rag-fair—all havm Sign- ed as “ staunch Repealers”——de_termined to kiss the lips of none but Repealers—to listen to the address- es of none but those who will swear fealty to the re- Hurrah! for the women of Ire-

liamentary reform, which should be adopted by the whole country and sanctioned by_ the legislature.

Considering the moderation which Durham always displayed, the little care which he took to press his just claims to political importance, and his indiffer- ence to a popularity which certainly at one time gave him the power of seizmghpon the Premiership, he certainly has been a most ill—used and much cal- umniated man. There is no public man of the day who has been pursued with more ruthless virulence by the Tory party and the Tory press. 1" inding a dearth of topics of abuse in his publrcponduct, they have sought materials for den-action in_ the styleof his living, and the Times has .even criticised With grave censure the utensils of his kitchen. His em- bassy to Russia, our merchants, who are the best judges of such matters, think successful: his enemies saw that it was splendid; and although the splendour of an ambassador is, in such a country as Russia, an honour to his country, and although the cost was Lord Durham’s and not our’s, yet all that satire, ni- sinuations, direct charges, and importinent nnd most baseless questions could do, was put in action to annoy and ridicule him.

His government in Canada was unsuccessful, ' because his personal enemies made it so. Already ,en] ofthe umon. is justice be'nw done hiiiiiii this respect. But a few laud!

THE REV. ROBERT NEWTON.

From the Philadelphia Saturday Emma’s Post. we extract the following ObVSBI'VathnS on the pulpit

to 'ofthe Rev. Robert I ewton :— w?‘ Vac do not know whether the Rohert New- ton may be taken as a fair representative 'ot the pecu- liar style of eloquence most popular in_ England; but if he may, we do. not hesuate to aSSIgn to her, what she has long claimed for herself, the character of the most civilised nation on the lobe. He reminds us of what has come down to e modems of the speeches of Demosthenes, wanting, it is true, much of his polish, his fire, his impetuo‘sity, but resembling him in most of the leading characteristics of style. If anything, however, he is more arguinentatrve. But a few words on the appearance and elocution l~ .. of Mr. Newton, before we pass to the discussmn of ‘ :92" I his style—“The Rev. Mr. Newton is no bad repre- / ' sentative of his nation, so far as air and figure are concerned. Tall—with well-knit frame, a short neck, broad shoulders, a florid countenance, ands. large and messy head, no one could oss him in a. crowd without being convinced of us English paternity. We mean no disrespect, but rather a compliment to him, when we say he is the very im rsonation of John Bull. His ineiu is erect, an in the pulpit, noble. He has none of that ‘ demissa vultus’ of which Sallust speaks, and which dis ces too many of our orators, but he glances " bold; and fearlesl around upon his hearers,_like a man conscious of his superiority, and determined to assert it...-.......The elocution of the rev. divine is, for some moments alter opening his exordiuin, pe— culiarly plain. He does not appear as yet to at home in his theme, and thou h he cannot be said to labour, he does not dazile. 'othing, however, can revent his listeners from admiring the richness of is voice, whose every word is music, and whose lower tones especially we have never heard sur- passed. Its compass is almost unequalled. ow ringing out clear and silvery—now mellowed into the softest music—and new sinking into a deep, rolling, sonorous buss, it fits itselfto every variety of feeling the speaker may wish to arouse. That it is sometimes shrill, and often grating, is only a proof; like the occasional drawling ot the orator, that perfection is attainable rarely, and perhaps mun—“When, howeVer, the speaker advances t. further into his discourse, and begins to grow ex- cited with his theme, all that formerly pleased or disappointed us in his elocution, is forgotten in ad- miration at the masterl style in which he begins to develope his subject. itli a mind keen and pene— trating—a capability of detecting the strong points of the argument at once—a power of generalisation rarely excelled—a flow of words at once copious, choice, and nervous—a faculty of dilating on an argument at length, and then condensing all into one compact sentence—and a fervid, rapid style of speaking, affecting no ornament, but striking home at once to the reason, and though sometimes tinged with declamation, taking its general hue from logic, he exerts a power over the minds of his audience which neither a glowing fancy, a finer clocution, or , a inore brilliant style could exert. He is, in fact, of the school of Fox, rather than that of Burke, and disdaining all needless ornament, is simple even to severity. Not a siinile, not a metaphor, not a pictu- resque deseription, not a poetical thought of any ' kin Whatever, is found in the whole range of his t ‘ neral. discourse. He seems to have but one aim View, to convince-his audience: on that he fixes ' eye; to it he addresses every nerve, and like the ,t Greek in the race, he casts ofi‘every thing t' Funpede his progress, regardless ofall, if he _ ply win the goal. Sometimes coarse, and . 0 n careless, but always nervous, rapid, and lo icol, r ' he drags his audience along with him by main orce, ‘1 as ~i e disdained more gentle means. However much, at first, we may question his argument, he never leaves it until he has fastened conviction upon ' us, seeming to play around the subject for a while, ;, ,but at last flashing the truth upon us in a single ~ ' lightning—like scntence.............The gestures of the reverend divine, in his moments ofexcitemcnt, are somewhat theatrical. They are often violent in the extreme, and consequently neither graceful nor effective. But this is a rare occurrence, and it is better to err on the side of too much vehemence, than 'on that of too little. * * * We cannot

The papers received by yesterday’s post are en. tirely destitute of interest. After the most careful perusal, we are unable to extract one micle of marked novelty from one of them. From our files, however, which we last week received by the Aca- dia, we have made such selections’as we trust will prove both interesting and profitable.

The Royal Mail Steamship flcadia, Capt. Miller, arrived at Boston, on the 17th inst. in 35 hours from Halititx, and 12 days and 17 hours from Liverpool, G. B., being the shortest passage ever math to the United States ! The Preridml, steamer, which sail- ed from Liverpool three days previous to the Ace-t dia, had not arrived at New York on Sunday the the 16th instant. '

FOuITIcs AND NEWS. FOREIGN. .

SULPHUR Qossriox.—Iii the French Chamber of I’eers M. Thiers has stated, the mediation of France between Great Britain and Naples had been suc- cessful, and that on the previous day the differences were finally concluded, and the arrangement receiv- ed the signatures of the British and Neapolitan Ain- bassadors. By this arrangement, which is in the form ot'a new treaty, the sulphur trade is declared free, but a reasonable indemnity has been granted to the _ Company previously in the enjoyment of the monopoly.

Sioux—The Paris papers and private let- ters confirm the news of the fall of Berga, and the arrival of Cabrera in France with 5000 men. The question now appears to be, what is to be done with the 8000 men who have thrown themselves on the protection of France? It has been stated that they are to be drafted into the Foreign Legion at Algiers. The Spanish Government has, it appears, called upon the French Government to give up the leaders ofthe troops that have entered the French territory,

but such a demand cannot of course. chmnlied with. Dulumseda is aprisonor in Paris, at is treat-

ed with the respect due to his rank. He talks very largely of what he would have done had he been in Cabrera’s place; but this is mere Spanish gaseou- adc, of the value of which the British troops have already had abundant experience.

ALEXANDRIA, June lit—On the 16th inst, at noon, Sami Bey, Meheiiiet Ali’s private secretary, embarked in the Tuscan steam boat Hajji Baba for Constantinople, with instructions I) induce the Porte to a speedy conclusion of pcacc. From the accounts which Mehemet Ali has received from Constantino- ple, he has no doubt that his demands will be acco- ded to ; in this case Sami Boy is to make an offer to

LORD DURHAM. (From the London Atlas.)

A politician’s consistenc and worth cannot be estimated while he is yet a ive. The Earl of Dur- ham is now beyond the pdssibility of forfeiting the character he bore, or of discarding the sentiments which he held. He has died as he lived, an upright and unchanging public man.

Of all the men who now plav prominent parts upon the political stage, we could point out but very few whose career can even yet be reviewed with so much unvarying approval as the survivors of Lord Durham can review his. In the events of his pub- lic life we meet with much to regret but nothing to condemn. His course throughout has been that of a high spirited, honest, fearless, upright gentleman. Straitforward and unswerving, stained by no tortuous ambition, disgraced by no low intrigue, guilty of no cravmg afier power, and tainted by no suspicion of courtin by unworthy arts the popular applause, the films 0 the first Earl of Durham is bri ht and un- tarnished. , It will descend to the Lam tons as an hereditary honour more lustrous than their earldom ; a model and an ornament to those of his descendants who may be worthy, and a reproach to those who ma degenerate from their upright ancestor.

rd Durham never had but one set of principles. He wore them in his early youth, and thev were as fi’esh as ever when he died. Acceding to ilie \Vhig party at a time when it had lost its ablest leaders, and was contending with weak minorities against the fatal policy of Castlereagh, Lambton’s name is to be found registered as an opponent of every act which has since then either been repealed at the command'of the people, or which still survives as a curse to the country. The despotic tendency of our fore policy, the corn law of 1815, which is still

all met with the most strenuous opposition of Mr. Lainbton; and _in 1821, while parliamentary reform was a standard. joke for Tory simpletons to sneer at, he had the courage .to ring forward a measure founded upon the old Whig principles of household suffrage and triennial Parliaments.

. The number that supported him was so small as to leave_him,without hope: yet, nine years later, he himself one of three Cabinet ministers com- nusnoned to make perfect a large measure of P -
