In this latter class were i►- eluded the Naval and Military Kitights, and the domestic servants of the Prince Regent. The Pages of Prince Leopold were, howeirr, ail 000 i t led into the Choir front motives of delicacy and respect to the Chief Mounter. This arrangement, judicious end ►easonable as it might leave appeared to those re spectable dignitaries of the Church, unfortunately gave great offence at Carlton-bons,, and his Royal Highness considered it to be no less than a direct violation of those four laments' principles of etiquette which it has beer► the distinguishing feature of his Regency to maintain. A leiter was dispatched f r om the Secreta►y of State's (Alice, intimating to the Dress mud Chapter his Royal Highness's extreme displeasure.

But we can not suppress our astonishment and concern, when we find the advisers of his Royal Highness so far compromising the dignity of the person exercising the functions of Royalty, as to inflame a misunder standing of this kind into a subject of se►ious and permanent content and to graft upon it a sines of undignified aggressions upon a respectable body of men, whom oar venerable Sovereign was graci ously pleased to distinguish by his special couute• Hence and protection. We make no comment upon an order, cosistriandiaig the Dean and Chapter to restore to the Crown the block drapery with which the Chapel was hung opus the late mournful ; but if there were ally doubt of the spirit in which that involoss claim was made, it would be removed by a letter which has been sent down to Windsor with in these few days from the Secretary or State's Office.

Si, 181114 LAST ACCOUNTS FRON ROHR ON IRISH ECCLINI ASTI CA L AFFAIRS. Most Reverend Doctor Troy has had a letter within this week from his Einitietice, Cardinal Litta (our Avoarite Cardinal), ms lin& Ecclesiastical Affairs, its which his Eminence writes, that the Holy See will wet consent to Domestic Nomination, in the appointment of Irish Catholic Bishops. The present mode of nomination, it is observed, has given to the Catholic Church of Ireland good, holy, and learned Prelates, who were faithful to their trait, amid vigilantly guarded the purity mind integrity of religion in the most trying times. The Holy See is the lees inclined to make any change now, as the temper and style in which such change is sought to be brought about, by unofficial per sans, manifests a spirit and teal, not for the good awl interest of religion--not for the 'Bettering the discipline of the Catholic Church—but for the sub jugating and degrading the Episcopal Body alto griller. The late experiments made its Ireland, of the boson s or Domestic Nomination, and the consequences that followed. demonstrate the pro priety, iiideed almost the necessity. of this last determine( of the Holy See. Shall we elm merate throe consequences? The recrimination of conflicting parties—the implacable hostility of the friends of the several candidates the disclosure of matters which every friend to religion should swish to conceal—the disrespect for she Episcopal! character throughout such proceedings—the •.y and obtrusive interference of the Laity—the eager ness which some Prints betrayed to fan the II sine of destitution, and break up onto anarchy and lode prudence all the sulniriliniste orders of Priest hood. These, and rosily other " unseemly ohs advantages," would go at length to give to our Refers a pretext to possess themselves of the no mination of our Prelates, for the specious reason of keeping ;trace and good order. In France. Francis I. found she evil consequences of Domestic Nomination, for asauining, with the permission of Leo. X. the nomination of the Bishops of France; and this practice of Boyalisomilistiosi continued ever since wills the French Monarchs, the many Cannes to the contrary notwithstanding. Th e H o ly S ee i s well awar e of - these things. and will not make any alteration in the present mode of appointing Iris Catholic Bishops. The Holy See understands, that if our Government will have a Veto, on the appointment of Bishops, as the manner of appoint ment new stands, a Veto will be demanded, usi the nomination of Cotonou. who are to compose the Chapter—the electors who would choose the Bishop, should Domestic Nomination be substitut ed for the other mode wow in practice; and it is well known, that a Mini/tier of State, by s majority in the House of Commons. has the power of doing as much mischief to the country, as if he governed arbitrarily, and according to his own good pleasure. Moreover, its the emit of DOMESik Nomination, Altoirlers would, with a greater chew of reason, and force of argument, insist on a Veto, It isle principle of common sense, that if men will se e k pr e es u ti on against appreheded danger (though but bung Mary). sit the same proportion as the danger increases, on the same ratio should increase the circumspect' against danger. Now, if Ministers demand r Vero when hut two or three manage the matter of no minating Bishops, will they not insist on it more s o d muse when a far greater number have the ap pointment of Bishops amongst them, and those of a class and order of protons whose principles of loyalty the British Minister affects to suspect more than Ise sloes the Bishops? This appetite unan swerable. and hoot it follows. that all those who are friend, to Domestic Nomination. without considera tion, inadvertently furni•li most plausible reasons for demanding a Veto. It most be on this account that the Pope will not agree to the °leisure of doilies sr 11l i l nation; it must be Air these wise reasons that Ili? arguments of Dr. Doltngoole and his friends have mint limy/sited.

The salary . he had received as schoolmaster MOP only 401. per an. num, whereas it ought to be 71/. 10s, being wbsi was paid to his predecessor in office. He (the Learned Cohnsel) would Certainly admit that gres( complaints had been made in the village sigainit his Client for not performing and discharging.his do n ties faithfully ; but he had been able to rebut them. and prove that they were without foundation, as he had eerriticates signed by some of the most' respectable inhabitants of the village, all enemas. Mg in expresmiug their high satisfaction it his atten tion and assiduity as a teacher. Theie was an affi davit made by a person of the smite of Joseph Keats, a grocer lathe village, setting forth that he had made every inquiry into the character of Dr. James, and as to. his attendance in the school, and he was sorry to say that Dr. James was absent front it two or three weeks at a time. and paid not the least attention to the poor scholars. This he was ready to allow as a serious eccosation, but his Client. Dr. James, had filed an affidavit denying it. and on the contrary declaring lie was always iii the school, superintendisig the higher departments of education. as he had a respectable Vetter to coil. duet the lower classes ; and that he had never been absent from the school more than four days ut time, and that was when he went to Oxford to take out his degrees. Another affidavit to the tame effect had been filed by his Upher. Under these circumstances, he trusted that the prayer of the pe tition would h e graided. He could not see how his Lordship could refuse it, as the increase °foolery had been made by. the Coopers' Company, the trusters of the Charity under the will of the founder. Mr. Ronne, Counsel for the relatom`said that the Coopers' Company could not make such a grant, as the Court of Chancery had decreed the the salary should be wily 401. per annum. mid it *as not in the power of the Company to give the in crease of salary without his Lordship's sanction. He had not seen the order mentioned by the Learn. ad Gentleman. and until he did see it he must cols. trod. that when the Company gave the iiscoease of salary to the Petitioner's predecessor. they did so from gratitude and respect for his great merits, exemplary conduct, anal fidelity in perforniimi the' duties of his office—and they heal soother induce. ment, that he was labouring under several reit. uisry embarrassments, *hie!) was not the case with the Petitioner. B u t. on referring to the books of. the Coopers' Company, it would be found that it was merely • temporary advance, made °neer ; Cs collar cireurnstairces. if the present Petitioner was entitled to it, he would ask, why he had delayed so long in applying for it ? The very mode in which the application was made, was a ground for its hr.. ing'rejecteal, fur he did not come forward and ask the Court to refer his claims to the Master for in. cony, but he boldly demanded it with a brazen Lee, as if it would be grunted on his ipse dirty. In that, however, lie would find himself mistaken. Ira regard to the merits of the Rev. Petitioner. as a schoolmaster, he declined going into them ; for a'though he and his usher hail positisely denied the charges against him. he (the Learned Counsel) hail no doubt of procuring a host of affidavits to the contrary, which would at once strew what groun d there was for the charges. He would only observe. that he was surpi ised, under the circumstances at tached to this case. that aschoolinaster would have presumed to ask the Court for sn increase of sa lary. He haul no doubt but his Lordship would agree with him, and dismiss the petition with cost-. Mr. HART replied, and said. that the decree all ncl. ed to by Mr. Horne laid been made by that.
