Thc London* Times, of the 28th ultimo, in a long loader upon nation? alities, thus discusses thc claim of Ireland to be recognize d as a distinct nat ion : To the Irish claim to legal nation? ality and ft preferential national treat? ment, wc sirnpl}' reply, that nation? ality is a question ol' fact, and there is no such Irish nationality iu the j Greek, Italian or German sense. Foreigners, wilfully or ignorantly, ohoose to believe that there is, but there is not. Tho fusion of races has been very much greater than is gene? rally supposed; for, besides those whose religion indicates a mixed blood, it has very long been observed that a vast number of names held by the Roman Catholics show English extraction. As to half thc popula? tion of the island, it may now be pro? nounced impossible to say they are of pure Irish blood. That difficulty in? creases the higher we ascend in the social scale, and even when we come to the smallest Irish "squireen," we find English intermarriages. An at? tempt to make thc native Irish the governing class of the island could only bo compared to an attempt to reverse our own Norman conquest, after eight centuries, by a general rising of all who might chooso to call i themselves Britons, Saxons or 33anes. j Such an attempt here is not only im- | possible, it is inconceivable, for it is I almost impossible to put one's linger j on a pure Briton. i The French revolution of tue List century has been described as a rising of the Gaul against tho Frank element. Tt might have something of that in it, but, takes a quick eye and a fine touch to detect these in? gredients, and the French themselves were not consciously fighting a war of race when they asserted tho rights of the people. There was too great a variety and mixture of races among them to allow of Frank and Gaul being more than matters of history a century ago. In like manner Celt and Saxon have boen pissing for centuries from ont of the world of facts into that of history and ideas; and for the past g?n?ration this change has gone on at a greatly ac? celerated pace. Meanwhile the old fusion of races in this island has latterly been quickened in even a greater ratio. In this metropolis, especially, and in the other first class ports and cities of the island. Eng? lish, Welsh, Scotch, Irish, and even j Germans and French, have been con- j tiaually intermarrying. ?Many, in? deed, arc! the households in every class of life among ns, in which there is not an individual who c-.ui claim pure English blood. Our towns are the hospitable refuge of wandering poverty, wandering enterprise, wan? dering misfortune, and wandering duty from every place, far and near. These people are not English in such a souse as that tiicy can be held answerable for any old misgovern- j ment ol' Ireland, or made objects ol' political antipathy. If the laois of the ease wore more i fully known, they would dispel, both at home and abroad, a good deal of the misapprehension fostered by Irish talkers and writers, and tile still less scrupulous Englishmen, who, in spite of better knowledge, choose to take that side. The fact of ti common refuge for all emigrants from these islands in our in. -use colonies all over the world and in the United Slates, speaks for itself, and grows too fast for .description, lint there are two other classes of facts which we could wish to sec rescued from speculation and conjecture by careful observers. The first is the proportion of the races and the ex? tent of intermixture in Ireland; and thc second is the respective propor? tions, thc intermixture, ?ind the local predominance of all the races in this island. Before railways and our in? ternal migrations and currents have entirely obliterated all local peculiar? ities of race, whether in physical ap pearnnco or in languag :?" full and exact description ' tpetent persons would be one o ^ most ! import-tut public documents we could j bequeath to our posterity. Even in i thc internal districts of England there j is :i very great variety. The differ? ences, of course, are not modern; I and if they have been modified by time, they have only shared the gene i ral change. They are ancient land ? marks, which it would be as well to ! survey and record before they are finally lost and buried. They testify to tin: forme:- existence cf raes that have allowed themselves to be quietly absorbed in the general unity, lo their own great advantage. And which is thc more impor? tant--which the larger stake, which thc better investment-the private and peculiar, or the public and com? mon? Surely there ks both more safety and larger gain in joining the com? mon fortune and sharing the com? mon advantage. A little proof of the ill-success attending the other course must have presented itself to many observers. In most of our villages, there are families of the laboring class, whose names may be lound on the oldest register, and who have a probable descent from land owners, and even well-known personages. They arc too often just the families most, incapable of self-control, good ? habits, regular industry and proper j subordination. They have fallen iro m a higher place, and not settled in an? other. They can neither remain with credit where they are, nor seek their fortune elsewhere with much hope of success. They are the very type of the weaker race, that seek to stand out against thc great law of change and the constant process of fusion, yet has not whereupon to stand or support itself. They cannot lead others; they cannot be independent, so their best course is to make ii com? mon cause. -? -o- ? AN OMINOUS SIGN.-The Richmond limes has the following notice of a very ominous sign of degeneracy in this country: That political and social demoral? ization go hand-in-hand, we have a painful illustration at present in many of the largo Northern cities. The decent, conservative press teems with strictures upon the once extraordina? ry, but now common, spectacle ol drunkenness among the fashionable women of the people of "grand mo? ral ideas." That- such . sights wert, common in Sodom and GomorraL before :i tatt: of brimstone and fir< fell upon those places, we have everj reason to believe. Wo know, fron the reiterated assertions of hist? ry that ?iii tho corrupt and wicked na tions of antiquity commenced rotting iltur going to pieces in this way When woman takes to liquor, th< house or community in which sud practices prevail may be safely eon sidered to be ii: a very desperate way There is no sig..- of tho decadence o popular virtue, and morality so alana ing as this.

LrxTuitE <>i'' HORACE GRIIELEY t ALEXANDRIA.- Mr. llorac-' Greele lectured in Ah xaudria, Va., last wed before about 150 persons, inc' idin all lite Union men and quite a nun beroi ex-Confederate officers. Jink Underwood introduced "the pkilosi plier" as "ourfriend and everybody friend." The Alexandria Gazelle I very minute in its description of M Greeley, informing us that, if hedi not wear thc renowned white hat, 1 had a "white over-coat, .and a pref! old one, too, for it looked as though might have served twenty years, bi 'beneath, was a very nice suit black, much moro fashionable ai ? neater than we had supposed the pl: losopher ever wore." Tho lectu was upon "Self-Made Men," which the Gazette anya, the style w constrained, language high-flown, tl only relief being great originality ideas. The Supremo Court of the Unit States has just decided a suit again a dead man. Thc I m ii?-n.t.-h m cut Movement. "Mack." writing from Washington ' to the Cincinnati Commercial, under i date of the 12th inst., .says of the | impeachment movement : "The recent Senatorial election in I Pennsylvania ia a .straw thrown up | that shows hew the wind blows ou j this question. Of ali the candidates wli<? sought the office. Mr. Cameron was the mo .t conservative on the Re? publican side. Mr. Stevens was the most radical, and from his speeches in caucus and in the House, he had placed himself in such a position that the Pennsylvania _ Legislature could not have elected him without giving at least a quasi endorsement to tho proposition for impeachment. His enemies expatiated privately on this fact among the members at Har? risburg, and thc overwhelming and humiliating defeat he received-get? ting but seven votes out of eighty two in the caucus-is attributable to the unwillingness of the Legislature to endorse his revolutionary preject more than to anything else." In his lotter of the 13th, "Mack" says : Governor Dennison has been in feltis city, on a visit, for some day. It is not correct, as I hear it rumored in some quarters, that he came here to exert his influence against the pro? ject of impeachment. He has, how? ever, during his stay, taken occasion to refer to the subject, iu conversa? tion with Senators and members, to ascertain, for his own information more than anything else, what were the views entertained with regard to it by the men in whose hands its dis? position must ultimately rest. He told me, yesterday, just as he was leaving for New ?York, that he had found not moro tuan three men, in both Houses, who sanctioned im? peachment, or believed in it as a re? medy for the ills attending the politi? cal situation. Even Mr. Sumner, who of all others would be supposed to favor thc project, he found entirely opposed to it, while all the moderate men of the Republican party, in the Senate, were even free to denounce it ns a folly of unparalleled dimen? sions. Mr. Wadej whoso, radicalism will certainly pass unchallenged, gives it no countenance. He takes the very sensible view that, in the late elec? tions, the people decided against the President and in favor of committing the Government of the country tc the bauds of Congress; sud that it it the duty of Congress to go righi ahead, passing what laws it deems best for the interests of the nation, without regard to the humble indi? vidual at tin; White House. * Tiru STORM AT TUC NORTH.- -Tin New York ll,?rall, of Saturday, .says The disasters attendant on the re cent snow storm begin to become apparent. All the mails to this citj were delayed yesterday for a longe] tinao than bas ever been known be fore. Lour trains from Washingtoi nr.; blocked up at New Brunswick The train on the New Jersey Railroac which left New Brunswick at : o'cleek yesterday afternoon for Nev York, ran off the track at Unionville while two locomotives were jut liing it ami two ears were smashed and an otb> r and a locomotive were- over turned. Several* of the passenger .vere injured. Too track was mucl obstructed by snow. A little girl aged twelve years, was smothered i: tile snow in Boston, and Comtnodor Blake, an cid officer of the navy sixty-two years (d' age, was lost in th storm on Thursday, in that city, am lias not since been heard of. On th North and East Rivers, navigation b; the ferry-boats was very difficult am attended with great danger, bot! rivers being lillie! with massive, cake Too LARGE A CONTRACT.-Mr Sumner introduced a r?solution ii tlie Senate, on Wednesday, declarioj that "il is the duty of this Govern meut *o> give effect to the moral sen timent (d' tho nation through all it agencies, for the purpose of prevent ing the further introduction of Cool ies into this hemisphere ..nd the ad jacent islands." That reminds us o the notable allusion, which anotbe distinguished man once made, to "a] the world ami the rest of mankind. This hemisphere comprises just hal the world, taking in the quarter pat of both thc Atlantic and Pacifi oceans, with all their islands. Doe Mr. Sumner propose that wc sha c.v.! reise a protectorate over New Zo; land and the other islands of th .S.mth Pacific, whose inhabitant have a weakness for raw rnissioi aries? And in spreading ont ou protecting mantle to the "adjacei islands," shall wo include Van Di? man's Land and tho Botany Bay di: trict? Senator Sumner's idea wu probably less expensive than his lat guage, but a representative of tl modern Athens ought not conftmn "hemisphere" with "continent." SPECIAL NOTICES.

More than ten thousand aggra? vated cases have been cured by HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS, while the number that have been prevented from coming to a head, hy tho same means, id incalculable. In winter and early spri.tg, when the appetite is sometimes too vigor? ous for the safety of the stomach, indig< -1 tion is most prevalent and most distress? ing. Is the appetite to be balked to accommodate the digestive organs? Not se; fer then the frame would lack its div: proportion of nutriment. The thing to bi done is to strengthen thc stomach, ton' the liver, and put the bowels in perfect order. Nothing will elo this so effectually, so rapidly, so quietly, so pleasantly, as HOSTETTEU'S BITTERS. This potent preparation trims and balances tho sys? tem, anel clothes it, as it were', with d< - fensive armor. Chronic dyspepsia, liver complaint and fever and ague are never known to attack those who arc wise enough to invoke- the aid of this great preventive.
