the park, to make a pleasont speech about crops and harvests, aud the haud-orn.e wo men whem he beheld among the assemblage of Devonshire agriculturists and cthers that had come in expectation of seeing and hearing bim. Other speeches, familiar. sensible, and significant, were thrown off with equal ease in the course of bis two or three days’ stay in that beautiful locality

j}and then Lord Palmerston is seen hurrying

back to the metropolis as fast as the express train can carry him,

Now his lordship turns up at Hereford, inaugurating a memorial statue of the late Sir George Cornwall Lewis, and speaking with some eloquence on the life and charac- ter of his lamented colleague. Lord Pal- merston is not a brilliant speaker, but he possesses the happy art of comprehending what will be agreeable to his hearers, and he says it with both earnestness and ea-e, leaving an impression that he is both a sen- sible and judicious man. His panegyric on the late Sir George Lewis was coloured by a friendly feeling, butit was a graceful tri- bute to the memory of a worthy and well- intentioned colleague, who, though he was bot the great statesman represented by the Premier, nevertheless wi-hed and endea- voured to arrive at the height of one. The kindly nature of the spirit pervading Lord

| Patmerston’s address wiil be duly appre-

ciated, and those who have been content to limit their observation to public transac- tions, will be pleased to add to their reeol- lection this manifestation of personal ami- ability towards the memory of a departed friend,

Sir George Cornwa|! Lewis was an emi- nent scholar and a cose reader of books Lord Palmerston says he was active in pub- lic duties, but his activity had no important resulis; and although he may have desired to occupy worthily a high position in the political world, we do pot think his ambi. tion in that way would ever have received its gratification. The Premier appeared to imply that a somewhat Nelsonic spirit ani- mated Sir George Lewis at the outset of his public career, but the character of bis wind and of his experienee would have led us to a different conclusion, Nelson, in a civil department, would have been as bold, quick, daring, and clever withal, as he was upon the quarter-deck; whereas Sir George Lewis was thoughtful, speculative, and im- practical. In a secondary position, his liking for business, his good intentions, and

| strict integrity would bave always rendered

his services valuable to an Administration. As a second-rate man, Sir George Lewis will be regarded with admira'ion, and Lord Palmerston only erred in claiming honours for him as a first.

This is a small matter. The chief object of our notice is the green and vigorous age of the noble Premier. Who would think a man, just eighty years old, capable of so much bard and intelligent work as this old man is now performing, just after a session which, if it has produced no fruits worth speaking of, bas been very embarrassing to the Administration? Young mea, in Lord Palmerstou’s place, would have been glad to get away to the quietude of domestie life, after such a succession of stormy encounters aud tribulations. The Premier’s pleasure is work. He has no idea of giving up time to such trifling pastime as bird-shooting or lolling upon sofas, or lying upon bis back upon the sea sands or shingle. The people

who listened to his speech at Hereford, could

not stand the heat of the sun, but put on

water, kindly proffered to him, was declined. | This, the man for all political weathers, was not to be diseomfitted by mere excess of phy- sical heat. Aud when the proceedings were over, he did not rush away exhausted, to hide himself in some shady nook of the railway station, awaiting the arrival of the train; but, fresh as ever, his lordship mingled with the people, to whom he was, of course, an object of immense intcrest, smiling with his well-known blandness upon the ladies who pressed forward to shake hands with him, and agreeably conversing with the farmers about their harvests, and their prospects the coming winter; not at all displeased, although some of them grasp- ed his hand, io their enthusiasm, ‘as if’ with a vice.” When ove of those pleasant friends, encouraged by the Premier's ami- able chattiness, boldly put a question about the Doncaster St. Leger, the Premier “only laughed in his usual good-humoured style.” Such a man as this must mike friends wherever he goes, and who can say that these pleasant ocvasions have no reference whatever to an approaching general election? Be that as it may, here is a statesman | eighty years old, travelling about the coun- try, after an exciting Session, attending fes- tivals, and making lengthy speeches upon all sorts of subjects; and speaking sensibly and well, The public generally, much as_poli- tical opinions may differ, must regard Lord Palmerston with genuine admiration, and wish long life to him. — London News of the World, Sept. 18. $$$ TUK BELFAST RIOTERS,

We have now the means of arriving at a kpowledge of the actual loss >f lite and limb, and seeing at least, a ;Tospeet of some of the rioters being dealt with according to law. Nine persous were killed, and one hundred and seventy-six wounded during the fortnight when law and order was sus- peaded in Belfast. For the greater part of that very ehort period, at least, four thousand soldiers and armed pulice held possession of the doomed city, in which they seemed to aet as buffers between the con- tending purtics. We are told that out o wany thousands of rioters, who could have been arrested if scores and dozens at a time, only filty are iv eustody upon the mi- uor charge of having arms in their possession. lt is lueky that they will also be indicted lor the riot, but it is equally uojust to the community that the great vody of rioters should be allowed to escape, and to the fifty who are called upon to suffer vicariously for the sins of the whole. If the Jaw is not able to assert its power over more than fifty out of a population containing thousands of riOters, then indeed we fear we must trace the origin of Irish riots to the impotence of the lawirself. lf ever there was an ocea- sion when a great lesson might have been taught to equally bigoted Protestants and Catholies, that occasion was furnished by the Belfast Riots. lt did so happen that people pretending to the profession of both iaiths engaged in the destruction of life and ‘he plunder of property, and we have the opportunity of now teaching both classes (hat there is a power in the country more to be respected than the impulsive tendan- | cies of musgular Christains of the Belfast order. It ts certainly a lame conclusion to find that a city supposed to be inhabited by civil zed men, given up to rapine and mur- der for fourteen days, yet defended by 4,000 armed men, is now to pay bo higher penalty to justice than to submit to the punishment of some fifty rioters. If this is so, rioting will becowe a popular amusement in Ire-

jand.—Jé.

ie leitiiedaneiaiaidl AUSTRIA, THE ARRESTS IN AUSTRIAN ITALY,

Austria pursues its career of persecutions | in the parts of the peninsula which it still holds. Tle arrests are grounded on the fact that the parties inculpated belong to the party of action, and bid formed projects cf immediate insurrection. A patriot o! Trent, M, Pedergolli, writes to the Pungolo of Milan, affirming that the Austrian police has had recourse to vain pretexts. ‘ Not even one of the persons arrested,” says he, * belongs to the party of action, either to the section which has for iis organ the Di- retto, or to that which has for i:s chief Maz- zini, and for its organ the Unita Italiana, As for the * projects of insurreciicn,’ 1 can dec'are in the most positive manner, and from certain knowledge, that no one has disapproved more than the arrested of every attempt at insurrection. I do not know whether these declarations, which I make on my word of honor, will serve so many inno- cents and so many fathers of families. At} all events I shall bave obeyed the vuice of my conscience.”

« We begin to get some light,” says the Independance Belge, * upon the conspiracy which the Austrian police has discovered in the Italian Tyrol and Venetia, It appears hat the party of action ia Italy had in| reality planned, some months ago, a genera! risiog in arms. It bad its arms and its soldiers,all ready, and its ramifications and projects extended beyond the frontiers of italy. The first blows were to be struck in the Austrian possessions. This plan was postponed or abandoned during the stay of | Garibaldi at Ischia; but the plans and de- pots of arms existed, and the Ausirian po- lice, put on their track, has begun to arrest the persons most compromised, After ar- rests upon arrests, it bas proceeded to make a complete razza, not only among the ad- herents of the party of action, but even in ranks of the moderate party, which naturai- ly desires the reunion of the country to Italy, but without looking to conspiracies for the realisation of hopes. A crowd of young men of the best families, who can only be accused of holding patriotic opinions, have been taken beyond the Alps to the fortress of Innspruck, where there awaits them a monstrous trial, the result of which, what- ever it may be, will add nothing to the mora! foree or the security of the Austrian government.”

o_O or RUSSIA. REFORMS IN THE ARMY—BETROTHAL OF THE KING OF GREECE — BLONDIN’S SUCCKss.

The reforms about to be mads in the mi- litary adminstration of the Russian Km- pire cannot fail to have a most favorable effect in a financial point of view. The modifications as regards recruiting, the re- organization of the army, and the new re- gulations for the instruction of reeruity will dispense with the necessity of keeping up, in ordinary times so enormousan army, the cost of which forms the principal item in the budget. The experience of the past year has shown that, by the new system, an army sufficiently strong to meet ail contin. gencies and all complications which may arise, cau be mobilised ina very short time. A reduction of 220 000 men is spoken of, The men to whom leave will be first grant- ed are those who have been a sufficient time in the ranks to complete their military instruction,

Letters received from St. Petersburg an- nouned the betrothal of King George o! Grreeve to the Grand Duchess of Alexan- drovna.

Blondin has been at St. Petersburg for some time, but up to the 9:h instant bad uot been able to perform more than twice, on accouut of the continued wet weather in- terfering with bis encertainmente, which were given in the open air. His marvel- lous ability and contempt of danger utterly astonished the spectators, who crowded round him aud cheered him vociferously on quitting the scene of his exploits,

a eM A POLISH MAIDEN’S GIFT.

Tae Weisse Alder (White Bagle), a Zu- rich newspaper, has the following little tale: — To the commissioner of the National Government for Poland were sent. from Leipzig to Paris, 5 thalers (15s) whieh were sacrificed by Julia Weinbrack, the deaugh:er of an bowouratle citizen in the mentioned town. Though this sum may be in itselt small, it represents, nevertheless, a great sacrifice, being the receipt fora beatiful fair head of hair, laid on the altar of the Polish nation, the sacrifice originating from com- passion for this unhappy nation,”

The Posen Journal gives the subjoined ; —‘*The sentences passed on the Polish lead- ers who have been so long in confinement here have just been published. The Coun- tess Ostrowska has been condemned to five years’ imprisonment with irous; the Countess Wodzioka and Madame Z-browska to ten months of the same punishment; Mmes. Wilkoszewska and Lining to six months; and Mmes. Alexandrowicz and Dymidowicz to four. All these have appealed.

THE INSURRECTION IN TUNIS.

Upon the complaint of General Beaura! the Bey has expelled the Zouaves who at- tacked the Spanish consalate and commenced sacking it.

The Bey has sent another colu:nn into the interior. but the insurrection still maintains itse'f.

GOSSIP FROM BADEN-BADEN.

A letter from Baden-Baden says :-—** All the hotels, villas, and private lodging-houses

‘of this fashionable * watering place’ are

literally crammed. A hst of the noble and distinguished visitors now bere would fill a column. I will therefore name ouly a few members of the sovereign houses. First, then, there is the King of Prussia, whose fine open countenance, * bonhommie’ sism- plicity of dress, and usaffeeted urvanity to- wards whomsoever he accosts, have some- what modified the unfavourable opinion | had formed of his majesty on political grounds, Count de Bismaik, bis evil genius, is ever at the King’s e:bow, on the watch, fearful Jest truth should reach the royal ear and he should be superseded. Queen of Piussia is also here. Her Majesty appears to be in very delicate bealth. Prince Cnarles of Prussia, brother to the King, the hero of Duopel, has taken up bis quarters at the Hotel de Ja Cour de Bade, the best by far at this place, and may be seen daily on the promenade, before tne conversation saloon, never withcut a huge cigar in his mouth. Then, we have the Archduke Louis of Austria, a promising stripling— ready, like his brother Max wiiian, to accept any vacant throne--the Graud Duke of Nassiu, the Prince and Prucess Wiliam Frederick of Hesse, the Dachess Dowager of Hamilton, the Duke of Hamilton and Chatelberault, the Duke de Moruy, his Ex- cellency Senor Hidalgo, the Ewperor Max- milian’s, Ambassador in Paris, the Duke and Duchess de St. Arping, the lovely Prin-

iseason. The oldest, the heroine of the Trent, Erlanger, the Paris banker, who launched the Con- |federate Cotton Loan. Our racing sport here bas been spoiled by wretchedly bad weather, it rained heavily and continuously, Still ladies of all ranks ventured in crowds ,to the race course at Oos, but, huddled in the confined tribanes, they had no Oppor- tunity for promenading on the green sward and displaying to advantage the newest Parisian fashions, their neat French ankies, their fashionable high-heeled boots, reaching up to the calf, under 20 square yards of em- _broidered petticoat and crinoline. The rac- ing was very good. The absurd ukase, which tabooed and excluded the demi monde from the saloons and gaming-tables of this ‘moral dunghill’ (where vice, profligacy, and gambling ought to reign supreme in the paradise they have created) has at length been rescinded. The authorities, aod the farmers of the tables discovered, to their cost, that they had committed an egregious blunder in attempting to test the virtue of their customers, or to discriminate between demireps aud whole-reps. In fact, these ‘foolish virgins’ are indispensable to the prosperity of this gorgeous and costly Pan- demonium. In short, ces petites dames, with the help of the Jockey Club, have tri- umphed, and Jast night Midlle C—— was to be seen once more in Benaset’s gilded saloons, flaunting it in purple and fine linen, leaning on the arm of the handsome young Duke of Massena, and surrounded by a score of admirers. 1 confess 1 was not a little amused by the envious remarks made by some of the femmes du monde who set up 48 dragons de vertu at the richness and elegance of C ’s toilette, the nonchal- ance with which sho tossed handful after handful of bank-notes on the rouge et-noir, and the seeming ind fference with which she won or lost the muximum stake.”
