OFINIOKS ON THIS W 0 RR . AfteraloRgfilence we ngain welcome—most heartily welcome—this delightful Authoress , wlio comes before us with one of those heart-stirring , soul-exciting Tales , that none but herself can produce . When we say that the TKIAL 9 OF LmvE equals anything that this iasciiiating writer lias yet produced , we are uttering the highest prnise that can he given . ' 1 "We vise from the perusal of this delightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain . The early part of tVie volume , which details the sad history of Amy Mortimer , excites ihe sympathy of the reader to a painful degree . The hapless girl , friendless and eiUhusi-. istb , forms an imprudent union , from which springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress works into a narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately eiuls , we must confess that regret tor the fate of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling iu our uiiud at the close of this most interesting tale . ' 'Welcome as I lie flowers ill spring Is a new v » -oik l > y Hannah Maiua Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the public is indebted for so large a share of innocent and moral reading as to Hannah Mitvia Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are delineated , tills Authoress never losea eight of the moral which it ia her object to ineulcale . The steps of Amy Mortimer—surrounded as she is by temptations and diffiuKies , and great as ave some of the errors into which her yonth and inexperience lead her—never once depart Irom the straight path of duty , and she makes her election to ' do that which is right , ' although her so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . ' ' After the deluge of trash—the out pourings of dise&sed and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of the 6 e latter times , it is truly refreshing to meet with another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales which have ? iven a worldwide reputation to the name of Hannah Maria Jonee . After a long silence she comes before us with all her enWjr freshness unimpaired , and in her last work—The Tkials op Love— still manifest all tho . ' -e high qualities of head and heart which have endeared her to her readers , aud have elevated her above all other writers , as oue syliosa every production is replete with truth , gentleness , ' and sensibility .

DEPOPULATION OF IRELAND , One of Oobbex ' s standing sarcasms , has applied to the writers iu newspapers , "was an en-COmiastie phraseef Otte of tteir admirers— ' Our best possible instructors . ' Whenever he caught any of the fraternity tripping either in fact , logic or grammar , he was sure to show them up in his own graphic and merciless style ; and it is doubtful if any man ever did more to damage the reputation and influence of writers for the Press , than oae who owed his own reputation and power to his position as a
journalist . There are , however , two kinds of public instructors . One class , before they commence to teach others , conscientiously devote themselves to the study of the fundamental principles of society , and endeavour aiterwards , consistently and constantly , to apply these principles to ' the discussion and elucidation of the passing events and questions of the day . They uro thus enabled to exercise a considerable amount of political prescience , because they comprehend the logical sequence of cause and effect ; and from the calm and enlightened survey of actual facts by the light of past experience , are enabled to pre diet with tolerable accuracy their future tendency and probable results . The other class
are fluent , shallow , ad captandum writers , who seize with great readiness upon the mere surfaco aspects of society— -swim with the stream , and live for the day . They possess the art of attracting the attention , and eliciting the applause of those who have thought and learned as little us themselves , and who are as much at the mercy of events without political compass or rudder . They and their readers are wise after the fact , and the practical consequence is , that they are for ever occupied in shutting the stable door when the steed is stolen . Their writings are as inconsistent as they are ephemeral—the bubbles they blow to-day are followed by bubbles of a totally different hue to-morrow .
Not long ago the panacea for all kinds of social suffering in the British islands was emigration : —systematic colonisation . From the Times' and ' Spectator , ' downwards , nothing was to be heard but laudations of this specific cure for all the social diseases wherewith English society was afflicted . They were , in the true spirit of empiricism , referred to one cause , and that they averred a
very obvious one— ' There were too many of us '—the country was not big enough to maintain us all . And landlords , tax-eaters , annuitants , fuudholders , and profit-mongers , united in shouting to the ' surplus population , ' that it was their duty forthwith to take themselves off , and leave England , Scotland , and Ireland to their rightful possessors—the easy comfortable classes .
Upon various occasions the ' Northern Star ' took occasion to expose the folly as well as the political wickedness of the system of wholesale transportation advocatedbytheEmii | ratiouist 8 . "VVe endeavoured to sbow that the premises were false , and the conclusions fallacious , and that even putting out of sight the direct injustice and hardship of compelling large portions of the labouring population to quit their native soil , in search of homes in distant lands , it was a political blunder of the gravest importance , fraught with the most serious consequences . We urged that the true wealth and power of auv , and of every , country consist
essentially in the number , intelligence , and discipline , of its industrial population , and that e \ evy diminution must be accompanied by a proportionate diminution of the national means of produciug wealth and sustaining the burdens of the bod y politic ; Instead of shipping of the bone and sinew of the community to foreign shores , we proposed to organise labour and skill at home , and direct them to enterprises which would open up new sources of wealth—new elements of power—and provide more solid guarantees of enduring prosperity . Instead of our land being over-peopled , wo demonstrated thaf . thfi nnnf . ri . rv ,., «» pled , wo demonstrated that the contrary was
the fact . To say nothing of the fifteen miltt - ! J oi L wa 8 te b * t cultivable acres in the United Kingdom , there are other millions of under-cultivated land , upon which , under rational ar rangements , atleaatten times the presenUmQvuvt of labour could be profitably employed . How could a country be overstocked W 1 th people , Wben > according to the Population returns , the number of men , wnen , 3 ^ On o X ° , containe <* . «»¦ undet ' A ^ , ; Whlle » at the Siime ti ™< ' « ™ ttr ^ -W highest auth ° " ties » ™» "I * the political economists themselves , it could sustain m comfort , at least 100 , 000 , 000 ? It \ vas surel y time enough to think about flitting when we had doubled our present population , say to ( 50 , 000 , 000 , in the course of some three quarters of a century or 6 o .

to make arrangements for emi grating , even if in the meantime , agricultural science stood Btill , and mankind did not learn to m ate , flame amount of surface produce a Wg ® quantity of food , b y improving scientific » L cesses—a supposition , we need not add , ridL * lous in itaelf . ** We argued , also , that while the United States and Great Britain are o pOse < j to eaX other in competitive strife , an they now »» every shipload of adult skilled operatives trans ' ferred from theshorea of England to the Trans " Atlantic Republic , was furnishing our oppo " nents with ready-made weapons to defeat
ue in the competitive market . We -were and are strengthening our great manufacturing and commercial rivals by the self-same process that weakens ourselves . We send the mean s of creating more wealth to a free and lightl y taxed country , and where thousands of square miles of virgin soil , unburdened by tithe or rent , invite the settler ; and we then insanel y prol poso to compete with that country either in its own or neutral markets—We ! with diminished industrial strength , and undi minished national burdens !
Our remonstrances and arguments weie either treated-with contemptuous silence or ridiculed by the politico-economical writers . These learnedly-ignorant charlatans sneered at the ignorance and foll y which Chartists exhibited on subjects far beyond their reach and comprehension . Others denounced them as eiiemies , and obstructive to the commercial progress and greatness of the country . The game went on . From marquisses down to pariah beadles the cry arose , 'Emigrate ,
Emigrate . ' . Associations of all sorts and sizes were formed to promote emigration ; and the result of all this activity and excitement was that the tide of population began rapidly to flow'from our shores , though Btill not swift enough nor in sufficiently large masses to please the emigration mongersf who importunatel y cried for more . They have ; at last got their wish—it now appears more than they wish . They are afraid of their own handiwork , and now cry < H oM , enough !'
Emigration , which in Ireland was at first a hard necessity , has now become a passion . The people are leaving its quays by thousands weekly , and if what has been termed the ' Celtic Exodus' continues at the same rate } in twenty years it will be completely depopulated . Sir Joseph Yorke once said , the onl y effective way of putting an end to Irish distress would be to sink the island for twentyfour hours in the Atlantic . Instead of being drowned in the waters of that sea , the Irish people are making them a hi ghway to home , friends , employment , hope , and freedom on
their opposite shores . America opens its arms wide to give ; them welcome and work . The vast vallies of the Mississippi and the St . Lawrence invite them to settle , unmolested by landlord or agent , or poor-rate collector ; and from the savings of those who first were fortunate enough to escape from a landlord and priestridden country , immense sums are poured weekly into Ireland , for the purpose of paying the passage of the friends and relations they have left behind them . A significant
indication of the extent of the emigration , and of the quarter to which it sets , is to be found in the money article of the ' Times ' of Thursday . The Bank of England , having received a large quantity of golden eagles from the United States during the Great Exhibition , offers to save the people who are flying from Ireland , the trouble , and probable loss of changing their money when they arrive there ; and as a further inducement , show that they will save considerably by the transaction . We may be sure that this offer will not
decrease the already strong tendency towards the States from which the Irish people are now in the habit of receiving such cheering accounts . America is no longer a distant and an unknown land , but one in which vast numbers of their countrymen are enjoying high profits and wages , and are sending back not only detailed accounts of their own prosperity , but money to assist their friends in following their example . The Atlantic is bridged over by cheap vessels , and ere long , if the attraction continue , the Irish people , accompanied by their priests , wilL hiwe . transferred themselves to another country and another allegiance .
Nor is the ' Exodus' entirely a Celtic' one . The Saxons ave following the Celts . From our own ports the emigration to America has acquired a force and volume , which render it exceedingly probable that the same kind of attraction will come into play in this country , which we have already noted with reference to Ireland . With numbers of relations and friends settled iu the States , they will no longer present a straugo or doubtful aspect , but rather that of a resting place , in which they can escape from the political and social bou'iago they feel so deeply here . _ These facts have at last arrested the attention of the mere surface writers of the
Newspaper 1 ress . They begin to perceive where it must inevitably end , and the Chartist folly of yesterday has become the wisdom of to-day . The ' Exodus' involves the prospect o ! political and social chat 2 ges in this country , and in our own time , which , the ' Times' itself is now constrained , to admit , will infiuitely transcend the greatest constitutional or dynastic revolutions that can possibly take place in Europe , The nature of these changes and their present and prospective results , we must reserve fov further remark next week . Meanwhile , who will say that they will not end in an English Republic ?

EARL GREY'S KAFFIR WAR . " This is the way the money goes . " Most disastrous intelligeuce has been received from the Cape of Good Hope . Tho Kaffir War , which Earl Grey was iu daily expectation of hearing the close of , when Parliament rose for the recess , is as far from a > termination as ever . Sir Harry Smith has received larger reinforcements than were origiually thought necessary * and instead of putting down tho ' savages , ' he is compelled to ask for more help . He has lost ground , instead of advancing . Fresh tribes of natives join the league , formed to drive the Euvopevvu race from their shores . The last accounts mention the accession to Sakdilli of several
Chiefs , able to bring ten thousand fig hting men iuto the field ; and the whole of tho aboriginal population—even in remote districts , with which we have never yot como iuto direct communication—appear to be on the alert . The rebellion—or insurrection , or by whatever name it may be called — ' becoming universal , and the war is assumingy ; almost inevitably , the character of a war of races , in which the result will be no quartev- ~ extermination of the native tribes being the ultimatum on the one side — driving the foreigner into the sea , the object on the other .
When Sir H . Smith was sent out to the Capo last , tho Government journals overflowed with praiaea of his military skill and genius . He was just the man to govern the fierce , restless , and warlike races inside and outside of the Colonial frontier ; and we were assured that tho mere terror of his former exp loit would bo sufficient to preserve peace . Uotf untrue tho last assertion was we need not sav , while the facts connected with Sir Hakky ' s present campaign go to prove that , eveu in military strategy and generalship , he is interior to the so-called ' savages / against whom he is pitted .
Our readers will remember that the last intelligence reported he had marched upon the Amatola . Mountains , and driven the Kaffir * out of their fastnesses , thereby expecting terminate the war . He succeeded in this movement , and in seizing some three or four
