GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS. THE Season of the Year is - approaching when the public will have additional reason to congratulate thourelvee upon this important and national invention. So .many attempts have been mole to mislead the good folk; of the Aletropolis, by pretending to cure the crying evil of bad water, without the least pretension, that we were amongst the 'many who remained sceptical as to the pretensious of the Royal Filter ; until we tv.ere led to seek ocular demonetra tion by having one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have new no sort of hesitation in pronouncing it QUITE COM PLETE, and in giving it OUR, UNQUALLFIRO PRAISE. .The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro polis have given the strongest testimony, that they may be considered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab volute " God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Moly Writ; and first let as examine the state of the water, as now drank by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not Set availed themselves of this - Filter, and our readers will tear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence given last season in the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eutinent and learned men in their voca tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne oesearily a short extract, viz. : Sir Henry Halford, Dr. •Hooper, Mr. Keats, Mr. Thomas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Home, Yates, garrison, Somer ville, Johnson, and Paris, &c. &c.—they pronounce the wa ter sent into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated With decayed vegetable mattere, and other substances pre judiciel to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly contribute to the produetien of that state of FAULTY Dl n.tiallON and lAATURITY Of BLOOD ; that it is SO ruerny and sarruax, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and "fur culinary pun poses, and that it adds so much to the other unwholesome censtituente of bread, as to render every meal injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water -sent into the cisterns during the hot weather frequently became apereu - : vustain; and they have no doubt that the continued nee of it IVIOHOUT FILTERING is capable of pro dacing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex tremely bad, foul, dirty, and unwholesome, front the greet quantity of FILTHY MATTIIIRS CONTINUALLY F0UR .1,40 INTO ne FROM NUALEROUS SEWERS ; and Dr. Kat vhakes. tee acquainted with a feet, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel iu narrating it. On in vesting the Thames near the lending at Chelsea lie saw " the foul and black stream from the Itanelagli sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, LOADED WITH NO SMALL PORTION OF UNDI VIDNI3 FLOATINO PH.TiI imog ?WILES ;" /TOM which he soceludes, that " A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF HUMAN 1 4if2RIZIP.P4y, Its A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDECOMPOSED SVACE, ACTUALLY PASSES INTO OUR CISTERNS." M. Somerville, the physician to-CUeieca lospitai, states the er e t ee to be very impure. " The - tide," he says, " suite a r THE MASS OF IMPURITY FRODUCED or ALL LIZAT ca CORRUPTIBLE /1 , 1 THE ANFAAL AND VEGETABT,E /WORLD, TOONSTHXIIWITH THE NOXIOUS FILTH OF GAS AND AIANUFAVIORIEB, THAT CONSTANTLY 1. , L0W INTO Is4E THAMES.

The last professional gentleman to whose evidence we sbalhrefei, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work on Diet. He pronotmoce the Wal4r to be impure and offensive, and says that it stinks shortly after it Las come in. LARGE QUANILTLES OF 'MATTER ARE MECHANICALLY su a i lunna , se as.

SUCH LB 'ME PICTURE—THE P.MeilltiFUL AND FRIGHT 'SHE eONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE A MES7AS surrum BY 'ADE COMPANIES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, Moat populous city in the world--the seat of a more opu lent body of nobility and gentry than is to be found in any other Metropolis—should, for so long a time, have be en contented to have SHEN DAILY RUNNING INTO THEIR CI ERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOR ALL DOMESTIC AND CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OP LIFE, SO LOADED WiTtl ALL SORTS OP IMPURITIES AS TO RE PRONOUN CHO, Y PROFESSIONAL 311:N OF DHh FIRST EMINENCE, TO BE Olt - lam/yr TO SLOE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination, and destructive to the health, is a fact tbat would not have boon credited, and that ought not to have been credited, bat upon evidence unanswerable.

" But where," the reader will naturally orelaisn, " is .the / 1 rocif of ail this to be found ? We must have some thing 1110 re 24141 And eatWattory than bare aiwrtions."-- T e following, staternentintsat,.'ve think, 'set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for sorer. Mr. flume, the respectable and talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for analysatiou, ititE ONE rtLL OF ALL SORTS OF 2NZIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATZERS IN A SWATE OP DECOMPOSITION, AND STF.ONGLY H4PREGN 4111 D WWII GIS ; the other, a bottle which lied contained the same foul ingredients, but hail been purified by the Royal Filter. In the unfiltered bottle he - . found, he says, forty-six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of .impurities, and.the remaining sixteen grains w6.e'the original ingredients peculiar to the water; and . dissolved in. it " for," he obsories,." there is no water, however pure. and wholesome, whether from deep wells, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from . saline and ether soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." Li the filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, en exarliinition, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and soluhleti, The water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the •iiiipubities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a'slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car- . .bonia acid, gas. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery: " After a very ^ireful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce the method-which hag been adopted to filter this specimen of water Co be meet eifertual, and highly descry- . log of public encouragement." The tame gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles; and says, " the opinion I had forme of this new process for filtering is fury confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS AND OTHER, IMPURITIES, BECAME CRYITALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF 1/1113 FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A HALF OF SOLID lA:VITRA ORIGINALLY PLACED IN THE ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SLXIGEN GRAINS OF SUBSTANCES PASSED TUROUGII IT; AND WHICH SIX- TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER IN MS I . ItIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DELETERIOUS TO lIF,ALTII. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Braude, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical' men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, ftetid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is uovvremeved. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24 hours, have been adapted to prevent the inconvenience alluded to. T hecxpence is from 30s. to 41. or 5/. We trust we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly conducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the apparatus may be inspected at the Office of the Patantee, Mr. George Robins, 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Thoatre ; where the public are invited to have ocular de monstration of the efficacy of this remedy. ri - ifIE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. LXXVII., WAS PUBLISHED TIIIS DAY.

COBBETT and the FRENCH SURGEONS, We observe in one of the French papers of Saturday, a curious paragraph, which shows how little our lively neighbours are acquainted With the character of a certain degraded portion of the English press. It is stated that Dr. Lucas, physician to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry, had brought to the notice of the me dical section of the Royal Institute, a paragraph of an English " journal edited by Cobbett," and copied i n t o some o f the English newspapers, in which the French surgeons are accused of re lieving their overstocked hospitals by converting their patients into subjects for dissection, after the fashion of Burke and his gang in Edin burgh. The French doctor, in denouncing this calumny, got into a grave fit of indignation, and, no doubt, called forth a sympathetic e%pression of astonishment and fury trom the whole Aca demy. After the wonder and uproar had sub sided, they unanimously resolved to record their abhorrence in a proces verbal, and to avenge the abuse of the liberty of the press by employ ing the press itself as an instrument of retaliation. In short, they formally determined to spread the contradiction as widely as the calumny ; and we shall not be surprised to find them advertising in the English newspapers that French surgeons are not butchers, and that the hospitals in Paris are not' shambles of medical assassination. Now, had these Academicians taken the least pains to inquire into the character of their calumniator, and learnt the estimation in which he is held where he is best known, they might have saved, for a better occasion, a great deal of virtuous horror which they have thus thrown away. Had they known the " comical miscreant" as well as Lie is known here, they would probably have been amused with his antics, but they never could seriously have been offended with his false hoods. We beg them, therefore, to recover their self-possession, and to take no farther no tice of the matter. Cobbett only wants to sell his calumnies as he does his Indian corn, and both commodities are equally harmless. Nobody believes what lie says,—nobody can be hurt by the abuse which he utters ; and though sensible people on this side of the water sometimes amuse themselves with reading his vagaries, they would no more think of answering or contradicting him, than they would an Ouran-outang, or a long-armed monkey. If we had not seen our lively friends in such a state of angry uproar about a trifle, and labouring under such gross misapprehensions of our national justice, we would not have taken the trouble of introducing to them this Thersites of the English press.— , Timm ich ard Allen,, an elderly mart, was indicted for an indecent assault oit his niece, a girl under eleven years of age. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Rogers, zin elderly and apparently irritable Welsh gentleman, was indicted for assaulting Jane Taylor, a potato-render, residing at Long-lane, Ber mondsey, on the 23d Augqt. s It appeared that the defendant dealt witli the prosecutrix for pcitatoes on credit, and,• when she asked him for the money, he assaulted her, and knocked her down ; she being ix- . ritable, threw a potato at bins. Verdict—" Guilty." The defendant was sen tenced to pay a fine of five pOUnds, and to be kept in confinement until the fine was paid. Mr. Tidniarsh; a respectable-looking elderly man, was put to the bar, charged with having, on the 10th of October, assaulted, kicked, and fractured one .of the ribs of a Mrs. Aldridge, a respectable lady, on the wrong side of 40 years of age. Verdict—" Guilty." The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 40/. to the King, and to be imprisoned until the fine was paid. His wife, a respectably dressed woman, appeared deeply affected at the result of the trial. Adjourned at six o'clock. AGGRAVATED CASE OF TRESPASS. Yesterday a Jury was empannelled at the Three Tuns, in the Borough, before Mr. 'Smallpieee, for the purpose of assessing damages against Mr. Mor ton Stubbs, an attorney, for a trespass and breach of the game laws, alleged to have been committed on the manor-of Sutton, in Surrey. 'The defendant had' allowed judgment to go by default. Mr. TIIESSIGER .stated the case against the de fendant. A Mr. Wilson was the nominal plaintiff in this case, and Mr. Hatch is the Lord of the Manor of Sutton: Belonging to the manor is a piece of ground, called Benhill, which contains about seventy acres, and of late years has been -converted into a preserve, by Mr. Hatch, for the purpose of rearing game, who alone has the sale and exclusive right of sporting over it. The defendant (said the Learned Counsel) has been a wholesale slaughterer of . genie -in this preserve ;• and - lamentable indeed . would it be if lie brought down his clients as fast as he did the hares, amongst which he had' committed such havoc that the breed, which was numerous at one time, were now nearly extinct, from the nnerringairn of his fowling piece. Since the 29th of September notice had been served on the defendant not to apo pear on the ground in question, other Wise he would be treated-as a trespasser }-notwithstanding --Which he made his appearance at Benhill on the 7th of November, with his double-barrelled fowling-piece, accompanied by four dogs and a man, whom he em ployed to beat the bushes for the game. Mr. Hatch's gamekeeper on seeing the sportsmen, and knowing they had no right there, desired them to quit the grounds; adding, that if they did not withciray. , ', he had a right to seize their dogs and gun.— To this intimation the defendant said, " If you dare do so, I shall knock you down." The gamekeeper then went away himself, in order to • look for Mr: Hatch, and on his return the defendant was still in the grounds, and by that time had completely stuffed his bag with. the pheasants he had killed ; and on being subsequently warned to desist, he ex claimed, " I shall not go; lam sent here to try a right, and see Mr. Hatch -- before I quit." Had the defendant (said the Learned Counsel), -if that was his object, killed a few brace, and then walked away, and afterwards brought an action to try the validity of the question, and set this up as a justification, then there would have been some palliatives in the case; but no, he did not proceed in this manner; he set all law at defiance, and repeated his visit again to Benhill. on the 9th, accompanied, as before, by a man, to beat the bushes, and three dogs. The gamekeeper, on seeing the defendant, said, " what, are you come here again ?" " Aye, am I (replied he), and I mean to kill all the pheasants on the preserve, and after Wards blow up, the bushes;" and had scarcely uttered the words, when be shoul dered his gun, and being a deadly shot, knocked down six pheasants; and the man who was with him, holding up the dead game in the gamekeeper's face, called out in derision, "You keep-nice phea sants, for us—we shall kill the whole of them." After this, he was again served with a notice not to trespass on the property of Mr. Hatch, and, on the 11th, was again found in the preserve, with his bag well filled with game; on the 20th he came . there again, and declared his determination of killing every cock and hen pheasant in the preserve. The 4th of November was the last time the de fendant. visited Benhill, and he came there with six other persons and his usual companions—the dogs and his.double-barriled gun. The gamekeeper on this occasion said to him, " Really, Sir, you might as well bring the whole_ parish along with you." The defendant paid no attention to the words ad dressed to him, but;commenced operations, and be fore he quitted the preserve knocked down fourteen pheasants. In fact, he has annihilated the whole breed of pheasants that were in the preserve,- and which had cost so much trouble and expence in the rearing. Proof was here given of the notices having been served on the defendant. John Baker, the plaintiff's gamekeeper, deposed to the' facts given in the Counsel's statement of the case. Mr. BoDKIN addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages. The defendant, by letting judgment go by default, had admitted his error; and had Mr. Wilson, the nominal plaintiff, sustained any damage by the acts committed by the defendant ? .Certainly not. The defendant, at the time of the alleged trespass, considered he had a right to sport 'over Benhill, his father being one, of the copyhold tenants to the Lord of the Manor. With respect to the general policy of the Game Laws, he (the Learned Counsel) should not now enter upon it ; but he would say this, that the manner in which they were carried into execution gave rise to more crime and misery than could be well imagined. The Jury, after a short deliberation, assessed the damages at 3001. On Tuesday evening a huissier of the hint's household contrived to obtain admission to the ball of the Duchess of Berry, and was dancing with a daughter of a Marshal of France, very near her Royal Highness, when he was recognized, and turned out of the room. We are assured that he has been suspended from exercising his fuuetions. DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY. James William Buckland, Great Tower-street, London, tailor.

There has lately arrived at the Hague a large collection of Egyptian antiquities and guriositiv , , which hare been purchased by Government fur 136,000 florins.— Brussels Telegraph. A most magnificent piece of plate, which, when finished, will be the larg e st in Europe, and exceed ing anything of the kind manufactured in this country, is now in course of completion for his Majesty, by Rundell and Bridge. It is for the purpose of a wine-cooler, and some idea may be formed of its magnitude from the fact, that a man may stand upright in it, and that it will com 7 prise7,ooo ounc e s of s ilver. This splendid s ervice has oc cupied a great l engt h o f t i me , especially in the gilding of it, as this has b een a wor k o f more than ordinary difficulty irons its imm e n se siz e , a nd the prejudicial effects to the workm en from the vick9ilver used in the gilding compo sition strenuously recommend to the Duke of Wel lington a calm contemplation of so - triumphant an experiment, made by the wisdom of the British Legislature upon a mixed Protestant and Catholic people, among whom, in the emphatic language of one of the witnesses, " No man asks whether his neighbour is a Protestant or a Ca tholic." Upon your practical " common sense" understandings, which require facts, and repu diate general reasonings, we conceive that one example, like that now referred to, must have a decisive influence. Whatever constructions may be put upon the recent correspondence between political noble.; men and a Catholic prelate, the crisis has obvi ously been advanced by it. The Duke of Wel lington's opinion as to the practical utility of de lay, and Lord Anglesea's upon the urgency of the measure, must come very speedily into con flict. The Duke may have difficulties to con tend with—no one doubts it ; but, as he is re ported to have once said himself, on occasion of forming his own Ministry, " difficulties are not impossibilities." We have little reason to fear that if the Duke of Wellington were to state in high quarters the existence of a political neces sity for this great healing measure, every abstract scruple would in a moment give way. We are sure that such weight is attached to his judg ment when that judgment is communicated in strong and unambiguous terms, and more espe cially when it happens to be founded on appre hensions of coming evil, that an illustrious Per sonage would feel it high time to be alarmed when he found the Duke of Wellington's intre pid spirit moved, and that the wise precedent of legislation. established in our North American colcmies.would press with full authority on his reason. But it is said that some of the Ministry are still intractable ;—that Mr. Peel would resign, and the Cabinet be broken up, like so many others which have fallen to ashes on the first pinch of emergency. That Mr. Peel would !eel himself bound to throw up office is generally understood ; but it is equally so, that if the Duke of Wellington would take a just meastr of his own position, and act with but a small share of that firmness which both the country and the King expect from him, the se cession of Mr. Peel need cause him no serious embarrassment. No, the Cabinet which has withstoOd the loss of four or five liberal and able 7Alinisters, has nought to he frightened at in the absence of Mr. Peel. If, therefore, the Duke of \Veliington has tact enough to discover where the real danger lies, and to provide for it by an act of national justice, he at once proves himself to be a man well qualified to set all paltry bug bears at defiance. If the Duke will but do what he unquestion ably can do, and propose a Catholic Bill wit securities; he may be Minister, as they say i Scotland " until the cows come home." Would it not be worth the Duke's while to consider the great facility of settling the quarrel now, while Parliament appears generally favour able to him and his administration, compared to what it might be after a new election, when it - is indisputable that the Catholic interest in Ireland would return four-fifths of the represen tatives from that country—every man of them, not merely devoted to the Catholic cause, but pledged to a systematic opposition against his Grace on all questions of national concern, as a means of coercing him into emancipation, without restriction or security ? Besides, would it be wise on grounds of internal tranquillity, to hazard a general election in Ireland before that irritating queqion is settled ? " By the same policy by which other States have thus secured religious peace to themselves in Europe, the Government of England has secured it to itself in Canada. The original proclamation of the King, upon the conquest of the Province, introduced provisions which militated against the Roman Ca tholic religion; these were afterwards repealed, the whole principle of equal rights between Protestants and Catholics established, and religious peace is the result. The first Canada Act 14 George 111. chap. 33, recites, that the proclamation had been found upon experience to be inapplicable to the state and circumstance of the said province, the in habitants whereof amounted at the conquest to above 65,000 persons, professing the religion of the Church of Rome,' and 'for the most perfect security and ease of the minds of the inhabitants of the said province,' it is declared and enacted, 'that his Ma jesty's subjects professing the religion of the Church of Rome, of and in the said province, may have, hold, and enjoy, the free exercise of the religion of the Church of Rome, subject to the King's supre macy, declared and established by an Act made in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, over all the dominions and countries which then did, or thereafter should, belong to the imperial Crown of this realm. Provided always, that no person pro fessing the religion of the Church of Rome, and re siding in the said province, shall be obliged to take the oath required by the said statute, passed in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, or any other oaths, substituted by any other Act in the place thereof. But that every such person, who by the said statute is required to take the oath therein mentioned, shall be obliged to take and subscribe the following oath, viz.-4 I, A. 13.,, do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful, and bear true allegi ance to his Majesty King George, and him will de fend to the utmost of my power• against all traitors, conspiracies, and attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against his person, crown, and dignity ; and I will do my utmost endeavour to disclose and make known to his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, all treasons and traitorous conspiracies and attempts, which I shall know to be against him, or any of them. All this Ido swear, without any equivoca tion, mental evasion,- or secret reservation, and re nouncing all patdona and dispensations from any- power or person whomsoever to the contrary.--se help me God.' " A subsequent Act, SI Geo. 111. chap. 31, divides Canada into two provinces, and establishes two legislative assets: dies in each, one representative, the other chosen by the Crown; they thus correspond with our Lords an-] Commons; and the members are required to take a similar oath to the oregoing, and no other. Ne IT, by the Act of Elizabeth, the supremacy of the Crown was estab lished iu Canada the moment it became a British province, as firmly as in England or in Ireland ; and all persons in office there were bound to take the oath of Elizabeth, as altered by the first of William and Mary. Neither of the Canada Acts disturb the supremacy of the Crown, lout both adapt the law , respecting it to the circumstances of the country. This is done, there being 65,000 Rearm Catholic in habitants, but substituting an oett Which Catholics may take; for one - which they ca;u take. Whet more do the Catholics of Ireland desire ? It is im portant to observe, that the first Canada Act contains a solemn, deliberate declaraticre tliet the King's su premacy may be preserved, although the test, called the Oath of Supremacy, be dispensed with, provid ed that other oath, which, members of the church of Rome may take, be subStituted for it. This, too, is done with reference to the admission. of Catholics to the highest legislative and executive functions. The principle, then, being thus establied, and having been applied to Canada, why shoM,I it not also be applied to Ireland ? Has not the old oath been found, upon experience, to be inaeplicable to the ' state and circumstances' of Ireland ? If it were wise—and who will venture to say that it was not ? —to adapt it ' to the state and circumstances' of Canada, where there were 65,000 Roman Catholics, would it not also be wise _to adapt ,it to the ' state and circumstances' of Ireland, where there are not 65,000, but 6,500,000 of these same : - Catholics ? • ... Could experience testify against the, oath s according to its present frame, more forcibly,' or more wofully in Canada, than it does in Ireland P : ris Ireland less worthy of consideration than ' Cnnada ? Are the Irish Catholics inferior to the Cenadian in truth, honour, or moral worth ? .No : nor to their Protes tant fellow-subjects either. Let the state of crime —let the state of education in Engand and in Ire land be compared, and Ireland, with her Catholic millions, will not be found below even England in the scale of knowledge, or of virtie. Her people are divided by violent animosities; but let it be re collected, that the law puts enmity between them ; that it ties them together, by principles calculated to produce not sympathies but antipathies. The law is, therefore, the great agitator of Ireland, and upon the law let justice be, done.. • Let it be dealt with in Ireland as it has been dealt with in Canada. What Canada has derived from the change, that will Ire land derive also, and then, at length, Will be effected that real union between Great Britain and Ireland which it was the great object of Mr. Pitt to ''necom. plish and perpetuate. • - e • - .. - " Of the effects produced by the policy pursued towards Canada, the reader may form an idea from the evidence annexed to the late report of a select committee of the House of Commons, upon the civil government of it; the following is an extract from the examination of Edward Ellice, Esq., a Protestant : " !When you alluded to a claim on the part of the clergy, did you allude to the Roman Catholic cleriii or the Protestant ?—The Roman Catholic ; and I think it necessary to state, that when I talk of the claims of the Roman Catholic clergy in Canada, I do not believe a more liberal, •beneiiiilent, or cha ritable body of Christian ministers exist in any coun try, or one whose conduct and habits are more ex emplary or praiseworthy ; and I um persuaded they will be found at all times disposed to lend them selves, consistently with the interests of their reli gion and church, to every measure for the improve ment and advantage of their country.' " The following are extracts from the examination of John Neilson, Esq., also a Protstant " Are the committee to understand from what you have said, that if both the Protestant and Ca tholic religions are protected in their establishment in that country, and there is no appearance of any de sign on the part of Government to infringe on the rights of one or the other, that you do not appre hend that there will be any religious animosities boa tween Protestants and Catholics in the province of Lower Canada ?—I should think so. It was not till 18.21, upon the rejection of the school-bill sent up by the House of Assembly, giving the direction of the schools severally to the clergy of all religious denominations, that there did not .e.ern to break out any great jealousy on the part of the Roman Catho lics. That confirmed them in the jealousies which they probably had internally before, on account of cer tain instructions already mentioned, but then they burst forth to a great extent; since that time they have gone on increasing., but they did not believe, nor dro they yet believe, that the Government of this coun try was at the bottom of it ; they generally thought that it was something started in the colony, and it. has not, in consequence of that, got to so great a height as it would otherwise have got; for amongst the body of the people at this present moment, no man asks whether his neighbour is a Catholic or a Protestant; there are Catholics f.nd Protestants in the same family and neighbourhood, and all living in perfect harmony. In truth, no country was ever more exempt from religious animosities than Lower Canada has generally been duriitg the 37 years have resided there. " Ave there any attempts to proselyte on the part of the Catholic Church ? ; I think they are the least proselyting - people that ever I have seen. I have been frequently at iheltoutes of the clergy, and they never talk to you about religion; generally the Canadian Roman Clitholics shun every conversation about religion. " Are the Catholic clergy mach respected by their flocks generally ?—They art: respected, I be lieve, by every body in the country; I lave never heard any body speak ill of them erierally. " Do they mix themselves up :n the general po litics of the province, or in matters disconnected with their own religion ? No, they never have interfered with politics to any extent ; they fenerally have kept away even from appearing or voti.!g at an election ; they do not think that it is eonsis ent with their in terest and religious duties to have any thing to do with politics. " Did not they materially assist the Government in the defence of the province during the war ? That is with them a religious dut . i.. In the war in 1775 they took a very active prq in encouraging the people to defend the country ; and in th•e war of 1812 they also took an active pat ; but the whole body of the people took an active part at that time; they were opposed to the Americans, and they were strongly attached to a connexion with this Govern ment.' " The circumstance of the Duke of Wellington having spurned all commerce with the; Marquis of Angleses upon Irish affairs, produced, as it w.:s well caleulated to produce, -universal indignation amon;,st the people of this country. The allegation that the cattle of the Noble Mar quis's recall was his refusal to overite? the law, and, in contempt of the law-officers of the C .3wn, extend the pu nishment of Mr. O'Gorman Mahon I ;eyond mere magis• terial suspension, heightened this h:dignation. But the scandalous whispers which have been :Yervading the public car for the week now passing, and tieir broad-day detail and inuendoes in the newspapers, hav2 excited exasperation to a pitch not equalled by any remin . scence that we have of popular wrath. When men (fiery deserve not the name) perpetrate that moral ruin by which family comfort is blighted and hearts are seared, they ~ we it to their victims at least to keep them above penury, and supply the means of aliment to the ity'ortlines who may have abandoned affluence and protection at their solicitation. The fact is, Lord Anglesea refused to act the pander, to smuggle the name , of a Countess well-known to the newspaper repor ters, into the coucordatum list ; and this was his pecratum peccatorum. —D n Freeman's Journal.
