We congratulate our country on this decided triumph of the cause of liberty, honour. and the Constitution ; the Constitution of the Government, which was established at the Revolution, and i, founded on the Bill of Rights ; not the Constitution of the school of the Castlereaghs, flaw besburys and Percevals. Our Ministers have boasted of the mer cenary feelings of the Irish. of their certainty of succeeding in reducing the list of Irish Members in Opposition to their old number of fourteen ; of the unanimity amongst the Protestants in resisting, the Catholic Claims. They have been defeated with disgrace, and have met with a resistance of so great a portion of the talent, wealth. integrity, and of the population of Ireland, that they ought to retire with shame from the post they so improperly fiU• There are at least forty-two Washers who cannot be bought ; and there are no leas than forty eight out of the hundred in favour of the emanci pation of the Catholics ; and if one year had elapsed before a dissoln.i.m of Parliament had taken place, so that all the Catholic freeholders of Ireland could have registered, not less than ten more County Members would have been added to this number. —lf a line be drawn from Dublin due west to the Atlantic, to the south of that line, that is, in one half of Ireland, there Can be found only four County Members adverse to the Claims of the Ca tholics. So much for the wisdom of those who calculated upon the unanimous support of the Pro. uistants of Ireland in resisting the prat demands of their Catholic fellow sun:leas I! I l'he event of the General Eledion demonstrates this most consolatory fad, that the mutual and reciprocal confidence of the Protestant in the Catholic, and of the Catholic in the Protestant, is greatly extended and firmly rooted in this insulted country. The Protestants should fed grateful to the Crholics for the stand they have made in defence of the constitutional dualities that the King cam do AO 401101. The Ca tholics should be grateful to the Protestants for their liberality and good sens..t in vindicating their cha nter and condo& from the calumny of the grossest bigotry. Let all parties cherish these sentiments, and Ireland will flourish.

TOM'S return for the county of York, he had every inn in Skipton, with the exception of one, thrlien open for public entertainment, and from the wits. dows of Skipton Castle, coloured cock sJes, hand kerchiefs, Ste. were most liberally distributed to the rejoicing populace. It is said that a new improvement has taken place in the system of jobbing, the invention of the new Ministry. Mr. B. Fetus is appointed not Secretary of Legation, but Secretary of Embassy, to Sir ARTHUR PAM, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Porte. In he same manner Mr. A'Couar, son of Sir W. A'Cou se (Member for Heytesbury in the last Parliament), ha' been appointed by Mr. Carsepao. Secretary of Embassy to Lord Ptesiroas's although that Noble Lord is only Envoy and Plenipotentiary. The absurdity, in terms, of appointing Secretaries of Embassy so mere Legations, is obvlcus. Such a system is cot onl y new , hut an anomaly is d ip/o. matic history. What, then, could Widnes such an extraordinary proceeding ? The answer is obvious. A Secretary of Embassy has 12001. a year; a Se cretary of Legation has only 5001. ; a Sceretary of Embassy has the reek of Minicar Plenipotentiary ; a Secretary of Legation has only the rank of Cleve erajloires.

This cause is of very great importance to all the commercial and trading world ; it occupied al most the whole of th:s day, awl many of those long doubled and contested rifms in the: code of the Bankrunt Laws, are by it, for the peesent, settl .4 by Lori Eldon. We lately repartee the ir.terest ing trial of the first issue in this cause, clirs4ted to be tried at the Sittings after last Terin, at Gitil.l. hall. before Chief Justice Mansfield, and a flrcial Jury of Merchants, when a verdid Was found fat the Defendant. A motion was this day made for a new trial, on the grounds of the Learned Judgc' misdiredion to the Jury, and t%e term, of his re. iv at, which both parries complained of, and, with due dererenee to that Judge, found . fault with.— The Jury had offered to find, if the parties would consent, a verdid, establishing the ad of bankrorresr in issue a' committed on the 17th of April, but not on the Ifith ; the words of the issue being, ivbetber that ad was committedbefore the date and issuing of the commission, which bore date on the tante 17th of April?

The CmAticrttoe said, that if the Commission was sealed bTfore the hour nr moment of such return from the house of Hamm-rd and Co. the Commis sion is bad, bat he is determined to allow the frac.. tioo of a day in all such cases s and against strong arguments on the other side, held. that the entirety of a day being a leg .t 1 fiff:on. is, aad of late ye.rs has been disc Jurage.l and dila!! owed, although' it was formerly otherwise; for he stated a case upon the subjea once referred for the opinion of Opt tw?lve Judges, which they could not agree uporsietamtMly ! whether the day in the middle of which oas . England died, was to be deemed the d..y of - that dead King or of his Successor ? he also that the awarding, on the usual Petition, a C•,:nmissibrs of Sankt uptcy. and the sealing thereof, was th.• issu ing of such Commission, and that such award ng and sealing did not, together with the docket or affidavit and bond befnrementioned. constitute the ae of issuing such a Commission, as strongly ena• tended for by Sir Samuel Roatilly mal Mr. Cookee •arho argued against the hasty decisimi of Lord Ken yon, in the case of Barnard,,.

His Lord ship remembered a c.tse of a man proved to have been at borne, and concealing binned, who was afterwards found to have been in prison at the.time of the call of his Creditor ; but as that decision of Lord Kenyon, in full Court, was now Law, and as a Ct editor was, es debitojettitie, entitle 1 to a Corn. mission of Bankruptcy. on the usual requisites, and a. t!:e Court of Chancery might have sealed a Com mission between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, on the 17th of April, as he and Lord Rosslyn had done sometimes, in the night time, it might turn out that the Commission has issued in this case be fore Mr. Wydown had left the Lock-up-Rinse, is which case it could not at all stand ; and being dia. satisfied with the verdift, even were it the other way, and with the Judge's Report, who refused to let the Jury find an Ad of Bankruptcy, on some hour of the 17th of Apt il. as they odered, i u Lordship mist have another verdia ; and on Sir Samuel &madly asking what the assignees did, or could mean, by such expensive proceedings ? and desiring to knew, 1 whether Mr. Wyd,wn must not, in all events, have 1 the costs of the verdid found for him, whatever the next might be ? the consideration of costs was re. served ; and on Sir Samuel's suggestion, his Lord : isip promised to confer with the Chief Justice.
