The menaces of Mr. O'CONNELL and his compatriots have not

been without their effect on this side of the water: some alarm is felt in London at the threatened invasion, or evasion, of the eight, nine, or ten millions, or whatever the number may be in Mr. O'Cox- Iser.e's newest estimate—for it is difficult to remember what was his last computation. A gentleman named Loan is very much alarmed ; especially as he has found, in a very eminent paper, the London and Dublin Orthodox Journal, of which we now hear for the first time, that Queen VICTORIA'S title to the throne is questioned by the Irish Catholics ; the new Pretender being no less' formidable a personage than Louis PHILIPPE, through a title derived from JAMES the First's daughter, ELIZABETH of Bohemia! However, Queen Vic- TORIA and the people of England need be under no more alarm on the subject than would make them prudent and vigilant ; for there are two devoted bands panting to save the country—the Tradesmen and Operative Protestant Association at King's Cross, and the Operative Protestant Association at Holborn Bars. If no one has heard of those august bodies, of which Mr. LORD seems to be a leader and ornament, it must be because there was no worthy occa- sion to call them forth. Now the exigency has come, and the Pro- testant patriots show themselves.
