      BsnaUy animatod on this occasion . Always as he ca e *» new division of his troops , a loud , long , and honest hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! rangfrom end to end of the file . It was evidently eo purchased homage—it came from the heart ; and the samo was e ^ ideut m the shouts of the crowd . AU doffed their hats when he -was in front of them . At times the multitude , in their eagerness to be near him , "Dressed so closel y on his cortege that there -was great danger of accident , especially as ho rode very fast tne -whole time of the review . Bernadotie has retained the affection , of the people simply by keeping his word . He vowed that their rights should in his hands be sacred ; and that this was no empty pledge , his whole conduct has proved . "Under him , the conntry has been raised to a degree of influence aud

      prosperity to which she bad long been a ' stranger ; a shrewd , observant Englishman , -who haa been many years in Sweden , and has mixed freely with all classes , from xbe highest to the lowest , assured me that there cannot he the smallest doubt of the stability of the reigning family . No royal family in Europe , he said , is more firmly settled on the throne . Bernadotte is said to be very wealthy ; bnt he makes a noble use of his large fortune . In all parts of his dominions—and he m ? kes a rule of visiting their remotest corners—he has sought out , and relieved distress . His private habits are reported to be , at times , sufficiently amusing . Though always attentive to public business , he indulges in ' most atl' ^ ired' disorder regarding all domestic matters . He dines to-dav at oho Iiout—to-morrow

      at another—sometimes in tne evening , sometimes not till midnight , and sometimes not at all , to the great discomfiture of cooks and scullions . Night he literally tarns into day . Those who read to him , often have rosy dawn to light them to their chamber . His manners , however are so kind to all ataut him , that every varying humour is cheerfully complied with . An interview between him and some honest Swedish peasant is said to be exceeding ly amusing . The gallant King , with the light-hearted aversion to drudgery characteristic of his countrymen has n ^ ver ac quired the Swedish language ; but what he wants in words , he makes up by goodhumour and readiness to join in the laugh at his own blunders ; and as the honest Swede never doubts that the French he has heard , is all very much to

      the purpose , the pa-ties separate , delighted with each other ' s amiability . It is one of Bernadotto ' s best qualities that he is most accessible to all who have wrongs to be redressed . Nor is it a bad sign that he is extremely sensitive under popular censure . ¥ e do not insinuate that he is afraid of it , but it is well-known that any expressions of dissatisfaction—and thev have been very rare—annoy him exceedingly . There was an instance of this when the Crown Prince named one of his sons after the Emperor Nicholas ; the people who , as we had many opportunities of learning , most cordially hate the Russians , ivero so indignant at this harmless compliment to the autocrat , that it was ioug btfore they could be brought to forget it . —Travels in Sweden ..

      TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES IN IRELAND . ( From a Correspondent of the Chron ' uIe . J Politicians do not appear as yet to appreciate , at this side of the channel , the important revolution which lias been going on for some months intheliabits of the Irish people . Several years have elapsed since the Temperance Societic 3 comsK'Xieed their very laudable exertions in England and Scotland . These associations have , -we believe , made considerable progress , and affected a great d « sl of good , aithougu -many cases of relayae lm-re undoubtedly occurred . The excellent example set by these institutions Sbenis to have produced few disciples in Ireland , until the good work was taken in band by the Very Rev . Theobald JIathew , of Cork , a Catholic Clergyman , long diitingnishefl not merely for his

      attention to his Baetixlotal duties , but for his devoteJ zw ; : to every cause connected with the--welfare of the pwr . tho instruction of tbe ignorant , the civilization and frcciom of his conntrvnien of every sect in religion , and arery party in politics . It has been his fortuns tfcroueh life to -trorl siu ^ le-liandeiL Ho bas pnrsueil the t « nour of id 3 way without fec-lin ? that ho waa doing anything moro tLin Lis 0-dir . ary duty . He has nenrly Iiaisli « . - < 1 a magnificent church , which he commenced ¦ with a sum of about , £ 3 , 000 of his owd nionty . He has constructed near Cork the Laudsomest cemetery in the British Empire , all the proct-f-us r , f -which he devotes to the sustenance of the sick and destitute poor . Ar . d now he is occupied in a labour that , actor-ling to all prcsc-iit appearances , se * -ro 3 calculated to lead to consequences of tSs ntmast impcsztsiLce in a national puint of Tiew .

      Some three orfonr years ago Mr . Wnthw prev ^ Ued upon a few membfe'S of his congregation toforin themselves into a Te : ; iperance Socitty . They unaisinioUaiy elected him their president , and bound themselves by a solemn engasenieiit to him to abstain for life from all intoxicating dririis , such as aTdent spirit 3 , beer , ale , cider , and wine , except recommended medicii-aliy , by order of a nj-x ^ icai man ; and moreover to iliscounteBancf the practice of intemperance by all the means in their poirer . 3 his socieiy rapiiily increased 5 n numbers . About this time last year it coniprebeinled six thousand persons , of Loth sexts . The -work proceeded so qu-eily that uiar . y wondered how it liappened that so few drunken mtn lately appeared in thi- itrec-U of Cork . The pltage once given vks nerM broken . tnciiJj- a fc-ellny arose auii . njst the liitmbtrs of the society that if any ose of them ci'l violate Lis oath sometLing wct : 1 i 1 he sure to happen to him of an extraordinary character .

      In the ezriy i ? art oi the present year , the reputation of Ztfr . ? Iathew"a Temp < . ra . nce Socie ' . y s ^ rtid gradually into the eouatnr , and a certiin pn-.-ii ^ - l ^ cimy attached to his name , which induced many individuals . to ^ o to Cork from the afljactnt co \ mties to icako the pleOge of ttrnperancc to Liai . The exaiu |> le oi . his succe&a induced other Catholic cl ^ rcymen to establish similar societies . But no man thinks thai he can gain sufficient fortitude to preserve his vow unbrokvn , unless he itpairs to Cork in the first instance , and procouuevs the pledge in . Mr . ilathevr ' s presence . The riia ' . t of all this is , as we are informed l « y a friend of ours , % vl ; o exann&wl the Reverend Gentleman's registry on the 21 st uitin . o , Oat there were on that ilny the " names of ro , 140-p ; -rson 3 , "of both sexes , frcm tbe age of sixteen up to hixty , und ciore , eaUrwl ur . on his list .
