We are, therectsro, Titre easy as to the result. It is not as Peers, but as Proprietor. Boi mighs o that certain Members of the Upper House, the Neweastles, Beauforts, tic. are formideo (bible. But in the Lower House there has long been a majority in favour of concession ; and in the Upper House one Peer counts for no more than ay:oilier. We cannot doubt, then, that when the in tleence of the Crown is excrteo, as it will be in that House, which is ideolys supposed to be most idol ttitieil with the Crown, a large majority will be a ttained. We are by no means alarmed at the ap peal to the passions and prejudices of the mien-, baliteeed part of the !Topic! of this country made on I. 7 horsday night by 'Lord Eldon. As little are we apprehensive oss to the effects likely to be produced on his Majesty by that part of his Lordship's speech which had more particularly for object the lilting his Majesty wit alarm. The ambitions, the well-informed part of the community, those wl:o cad public opinion, the inhabitants of great towns, tire all favourable to concession ; and if there are stir largo bodies of Englishmen dispersed throughout Various parts of the country foil of antiquated pre .titlices, this is because they are placed in circutm stances which d o not a ll ow them the same opportu nities of obtaining information with others. But these very eircurastanees, while they keep them in arrear of the age, prevent them at the same erne exercising any influence on the-community at large. They am inert masses, without leaders, and with. snit the means • of making themselves be directly felt. Where is the central fire of th's opaque body What an idea mast we have of England, if we could suppose that such men as the Duke of New. castle, Lords Eldon, Winchelsee, Kenyon, and Ge neral Gascoigne, &c. &e. ) could marshal its mental and material forty against the Government, and all the Metottess of the Legislature whose names pos- Gees any weight with the nation ! And with re apect to the minatory language held towards the King—it is not very likely that he should deem a succession of ne 1.50 years in much danger from the King of Sardinia or Duke trAngouleme, on account of his yielding to the same voice of the na tion which formerly called his ancestor to the Throne, the safety of the nation then demanding the exclusion of a Popish Sovereign, as it now demands the repeal of Catholic disabilities.— The same principle which produced the Protestant Revolution now produces the admission of Catho lics into the Constitution. The Sovereign exists for the welfare of the people—that welfare demanded at the Revolution a Protestant Sovereign—it now de mands that Protestants should not be the only citi zens. Lord Eldon's language was an insult to his Majesty's understanding, But it was ouly a repeti tion of his language during the progress of the Bill for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Lord Eldon is no statesman, and his speech of Thursday last points to no one intelligible course, by following which the welfare of the country could be more effectually promoted than by the course re commended by Ministers. What do all the gen tlemen best acquainted with Ireland say ? That the safety of the country is threatened by a continuance of the present state of things. This even Sir "Thomas Lethbridge has been enabled to see. Last night, he observed that " he was quite aware that the settlement of the question, even though it should be settled in a manner contrary to his wish, Was much more desirable than to leave it in a state of agitation." What did . Mr. Leslie Foster say last night ? " Hedid not hesitate to say that things were, as nearly as possible, ripe for a civil war, and it was difficult to tell where the first flames of it might buret out." A civil war ready to burst out is surely not a consummation Which any man who has any regard for his country would wish. for. What did Mr. Dawson say last night 7 " I beg to statefully and firmly, hoping that I shall receive full credit for what 1 am going to state, that I went last year to Ireland, in perfect ignorance of what were the in tentions of Government in respect to the Catholic Claims. But when 1 got there, what was it that I saw ? I saw the country on the eve of convulsion saw its institutions ready to give way—l saw that every one was in a manner opposed to the very members of their own family—l saw that every thing was gradually creeping towards the brink of de struction; that party feeling was raging in every di rection; that Grand Juries and Magistrates, and ln short, every one partook of the same spirit ; and - that it was impossible for things to go on as they were any longer. When I arrived in the city of the county which I represent, I found -.hat the annual celebration in honour of the siege was about to take place, and I was called on to attend it. Bus when I heard the sentiments of those who entertained strong Protestant feelings ; when I heard them about to go the length of dwelling upon the destruc tion of the Catholics as a necessary step, I could not as an honest man attend at that meeting, and en courage them to persevere in such persecution, or in the entertainment of feelings which I conceived must lead to the destruction of the country. I could see nothing in such a course but the element of a civil war, which only required some bold mischievous than to spring up, to foster into an ardent blaze." What did Mr. Peel say on Thursday night ? That the law is at present inoperative; that the tribunals are, in the hands of those who possess them for the time, means of making war on their opponents. This is surely a state of things which Weil justifies those who are responsible for the safety of the country, to pause.. It may be that Mr. Peel's belief is well founded— " that if any attempt at carrying the threat of intimi dation into effect had been persevered in, the naked energies of the King's subjects, unsupported by a single soldier, would have defeated and crushed the attempt ;" but civil strife is incompatible with the pursuits of industry. -What a blow would'any in terruption to the commerce with such a large por tion of our empire as Ireland, give. to the I rosperity of England. Would the English manufacturers and merchants not feel it ? Would the revenue not feel it—to say nothing of the seeds of lasting hostility, .which would thereby be sown, and the - opening which vindictive feelings might give to a foreign enemy. Mr - . Huskisson thought it " was almost impossible to ascribe to any natural causes the very extraordinary, numerous and important conversions which had taken place during the last week." Natural or non-natural, thank God, they are conver sions ; and there is little danger of re-conversion by other miracles. We think that conversions may be too long delayed, but they never can be too late. Besides, we are willing to accept Lord John Russell's apology for the late conversions, as far its it goes. " He thought it extremely creditable to those who entertained unfavourable sentiments to this question formerly, to avow their altered conviction of its ex pediency, when they saw the State menaced, and the tranquillity of the country disturbed." We anticipate a triumphant majority in both Houses. Indeed we see nothing like an indication of vigorous opposition. The Duke of Wellington is lauded to the skies by all parties.—Morning Chronicle. The situation to which England is at the present moment reduced is melancholy and awful. The Legislature is about to decide a question of tremen dous importance, introduced to it tinder auspices the most likely to produce a decision in the affirma tive—a question which, stripped of the flimsy plausibilitiee in which it is enveloped by the in gennitY of one class of Ntatestiten habitually the enemies of the - British Constitution and of the glory And powik of the ctnnory; and of another, whom we "must still consider the better of the two, whow ingenuity upon this queation has come sud denly upon them, as a shield to their own unex pected timidity and tergiversation, r:solv es i tse lf into these — Shall the Protestant Church in Ireland be overthrown ? Shall the Protestant Church in England be endangered ? Shall the nation in the course of a few years be i nvolved in sanguin ar y and inretenkte domestic War for the preservatio n o f its pure religion, its - chartered liberties, its exalted name, its character; its happiness; and itt strthgth ? --Such are the high and pei•Manent interests of this reetioil that are now exposed to a fear ful issue, and likely to be offered up as a sacrifice upon the altars of timidity, tergiversation, and in trigue. We indulge in no fantastic apprehensions when we say that the consequences we have de scribed are the natnrul and iiiizivOidable effects of such t measure as that which is now understood to be in contemplation. The steps which in- terpose between this ill-omened co - mmencement and the dire termination we have pointed out are but few, and they are as inevitable as they are fearfully parable end dittinet. Men without prin ciple themselves are always ready to assume the absence of principle in others. So did not argue the immortal Pitt, whose character is now s placed, if possible, upon a loftier and more conspicumis pinnacle than ever. But he was a man of prim cipic. He said, and never tested in contradictiOn to 'his words, that whoever knew any thing Of human nature must believe that the Catholics would employ whatever political power should be granted them for the overthrow of our Protestant establish ments; and the sentiment must be re-echoed in- . stinctively from every honest heart. The politicians of the present day unfortunately think otherwise. They do not perceive, and what is much worse, they do riot feel, the absurdity of assuming the ab "Sence of principle in a whole nation. We assert, : and every man who lino,ss the meaning of the word conscience must agree with us, the impossibility of the Roman Catholics of this Empire possessing fdr any considerable period a share of the Legisladie Power without atteMptingg . to obtain for their own ( !lurch an establishment and an ascendancy, at least in Ireland; and we further assert, without the fear of being contradicted by any man who is not utterly ignorant of the nature and history of his spe cies, the impossibility of the Roman Catholics mak ing such an attempt, with the means in their hand which a share in the legislative power will bestow, without producing the most intense and sanovistary civil strife, together with all the national confusion, misery, and weakness ' of which civil strife is the never-failing source. These calamities impend over our country, and silence now would be a crime. We . upon the nation to arouse itself, for it is upon itself only that it can now depend. If the men of England be true to their faith—if they exert them selves as their welfare and happiness, and the wel fare and happiness of their children demand; all may yet be well. But one instant, and strenuous, and universal effort, is required. Nothing less than the most fervent zeal, the most devout enthusiasm in the cause of the Constitution, a zeal and an enthu siasm agitating the country from its centre to its circumference, can avert the tremendous evil that is now suspended over us. Let not the nation, there fore, sink into the torpid sluggishness of dopair, at this moment, when their dearest interests—when every social, domestic, patriotic, sad religious feel ing excites them to exertion. Let diem overwhelM the Legislature with their firm but respectful petitions; and while they do so, let their fer vent prayers ascend to Heaven, beseeching that Divine Providence, which has elevated Great Britain to the highest pitch of huiman great ness and felicity, that it may not desert her now—that it may not permit her Rulers to be so darkened in their understandings, and hardened in their hearts, as to undermine and subvert those Protestant Institutions which have beers the instru ments in its hands of rendering the nation so happy and so great. We scarcely know how to descend from a subject so important and engrossing as that of which we have been speaking, to advert to the character, conduct, or destiny of any set of Mini sters, be they whoni they may. The country knows the feelings of respect and confidence which we have hitherto cherished towards the Administration of the DUke of Wellington. The sentiment of gratitude for the past services scudded to their country by that Illustrious Man and some of his colleagues, is to be obliterated by no circum stances, from the heart of any Englishman who deserves the lame. It never can be obliterated from ours. We need not express the unfeigned pain with which we call upon the country to oppose a measure sanctioned by such men. Upon this question, however, we must op pose them, for it is a duty so sacred ss to be parer mount to every other obligation. Upon this ques tion the country also will firmly oppose them ; but it will do so with the pain which in such circumstances is inseparable from a recollection of the eminent ser vices they have heretofore rendered to the State.— General hostility to the present administration must be as foreign to our minds as we believe a desire for its overthrow will still continue remote from the minds of the people of England. Never, in the rno merits of their most strenuous struggle for the pre servation of a Constitution they justly hold most deer twill - the British people forget the serviees.which ", title the leading Members of his Majesty's present 'Government to the Nation's gratitude. Never, we venture to say, will they forget for an instant by what description of statesmen the present Ministers of the Crown would probably be succeeded in the event of their removal from office. We sec by the proceedings in the Roman Catholic Association, a report of which we have inserted elsewhere, that the demagogues of Popery say they will reject with disdain any thing shot tof an onqualified and 'mum- ; ditional admission to political power. They already , begin to take to themselves the credit of magnani mous condescension and forbearance, on the ground that they claim as yet no more than an equality with Protestants. How long, if the insensine pro jeet now in contemplation should be carried into effect, will they rennin' so very moderate ?—iUorn in; Pod. The important communication which his Majesty has made to Parliament respecting his Roman Ca tholic subjects—the most important in every point of view that was ever made to any Parliament, or by any King sitting on the throne of these realms still rings in the ears of every class of the comma- airy, is uppermost in their thoughts, and nearest to their hearts. Every tongue is eloquent in praise of the Chief who, after having defeated the common enemy of &II:one, has achieved a still greater vic tory over himself and his colleagues--who has had the wisdom to counsel his Majesty, once for all, to remove the penal enactments which disqualify his Roman Catholic subjects from holding the higher offices of State--and the firmness to brave the sneers, the contempt, and the accusations of those who, from following such a course, might cc case him of ineon , istency and timidity. The vic tory is, indeed, splendid beyond all precedent ; and if less dazzling, in the eyes of those who are not aware of the difficulties which he bad to encounter, than that of Waterloo, promises to be crowned with results more useful, and more beneficial, not only to the British empire, but to the world at large. The magnanimous examp!e, not of tolerating only, but of admitting Roman. Catholics to all the rights and privileges of British subjects, - cannot fail to pro duce its proper effect on the Governments of other countries, and to induce a corresponding remission of disqualifications, wherever they may still exist, or be enforced, against our Protestant brethren; while the direct influence which it cannot fail to procure to this country, in her relations with foreign Princes and States, is too obvious not to occur to every one as one of the first and best fruits of the concession. That there should be still some who see in any • further concessions to the Roman Catholics, only ruin and disgrace, is not to be wondered at: The latter have, on the one hand, been so long estranged from political power—so long lain under the sus picion of being incapable, from perversity of reli gious opinion, of wielding it with usefulness to them selves, or safety to their Protestant brethren, that a c:nstrary opinion can only become universal, and the prejudices which still exist against them be destroy el, by the amplest experience of their good faith; *bile, on the other, the IltitiA Constitution, with exclusive Prott stantism : for i,ts shield; hag weatheted S 1 many storms, and gallantly braved so Matti teat: f)ests, that to those who reverence it as some of the opponents of Catholic emancipation reverence it, it must almost seem like sacrilege and ingratitude to sanction the slightest breach in its venerable walls. It is our confident hope, however, that the breach which is thus about to be made fn the fabric of our Constitution, will tend to strengthen instead of impairing it—to produce concord and 'harmonv, end loyalty among all classes of hit Majesty's jects, and to extend to every part of the empire that prosperity which its centre has so long enjoyed—to make capital flow to Ireland instead of flowing from it —to promote arts and manufactures, and commerce, and to change the now uncultivated and unprofit able, but naturally rich soil of that hitherto dis tracted country, into a land with plenty, and as fruitful to its present miserable race of cultiva tors in the " good things of the earth," as it has hitherto been barren of their peace or abundance. Let not not the Roman Catholics of Ireland then, as some of the agitators would still persuade them, at tempt to obstruct the plans of Government by tray silly haggling about unqualified Emancipation, or forty-shilling freeholders. A great boon is about to be bestowed upon them, and they will do well to receive it with gratitude. The people of England may still be disgusted by their insisting on trifles, and will not, in any event, submit to dictation. The Duke of Wellington has acted manfully and nobly in their behalf, and the smallest sacrifice which he has a right to expect from them in return, is the immediate dissolution of the Association, and the complete transfer of that confidence to him which has so long been reposed in its efforts.—Morning • Advertiser. Mr. Peel's speech in the debate on Thursday night seems to involve the Duke of Wellington in a dilemma, from which the country will expect his Grace to be relieved, either by an explanation from himself or his Right Hon. Colleague. The Duke, so lately as December, in his letter to Dr. Curtis, expresses his persuasion that, from the high state ef party feeling upon the subject, he sees no chance of an early settlement of the Catholic Question; though it would appear from Mr. Peel's speech that the matter was agitated as long ago is July, and the change in his own sentiments and those of the Duke actually agreed upon in AuguSt. - How, then, could the Duke sec no prospect in December of ac complishing that which Mr. Peel says his Grace had determined to accomplish four, if not five months before ? Again, if the sentiments of the Adminis tration ' were so decidedly made up so long ago, what a cipher must they have been making of the King's Representative in Ireland, who appears from his letter to Dr. Curtis to have known no more of their intentions than the Man in the Moon. Even Mr. O'Connell seems to have had more authentic, if not better sources of information, than the Noble Marquis; and the story which was so much laughed at at the time, of the secret which escaped through the tattling propensity of a Bishop's lady, or her chamber-maid, appears now to have been not entirely devoid of probability. We are curious to see, as we have no doubt the public are, how the Marquis will get over the said letter to the Catholic Bishop; hut, if he will allow us to furnish him with an apo iogy, it would be this, that he was almost con itrained to form an opinion of his own, where he was kept so completely in the dark as to the senti ments and intentions of others.--Morning Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDIIALL. Thomas Edwards, the lad who attempted to poison himself, anil who said he did not know his parents, but in timated that he had been educated at the expence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, was again brought before Sir PE NCR. LAuntg. The gentleman of Brixton who intended to take him into his service was present. Sir Prrra asked him if all he had stated before was true„—The primmer said it was. The Alderman.said he was a very bad boy; the state ment of his bring in the King's school at Canterbury was entirely false. Dr. Birt, the master, had written that tin buy of his name had been in the school for the last fourteen years. The prisoner assured him he had been in that school three years, and upon looking again at the doctor's letter. it appeared it referred only to the name of Edwards, and not that of Henry Staples," by which the prisoner had said he was known. There had been a mistake upon that point in the note addressed to Dr. Burt, and the Alderman directed that he should he written to again. Sir Pares, holding a letter from the Earl of Shaftes bury in his kinds, said, he denied knowing any person of the name of Staples. He asked the prisoner if he bad been a fifer in a regiment stationed at Chatham. Prisoner said it was true. Sir Px:r.x. said, the letter intimated that the writer, from the account the lad had given of himself, suspected his real name was Henry Medhurst ; that his father (his stepfather, According to the prisoner's account,) formerly kept the Aiichor in Coleman-street, in the city ; that he had. once atteinpted to desert from his regiment; and he stated these facts - that the benevolent gentleman might not take an improper person - into his service. Sir Peter said, he suspected the prisoner was a deserter. The prisoner said, he ran away from his uncle, at CFl ton, four months ago, and entered the Ist Regiment of Foot as a lifer. He was discharged, six weeks ago, for being subject to fits ; but he had lost his certificate or dis charge. He persisted .that the account ke had given of himself was true. I'FTFR said, he would write to the regiment ti as certain whether he was a deserter, and Mr. \Vollmer, the governor of Newgate, undertook to write to a Mrs. Parnell, formerly of the High street, Can terbury, with whom he was acquainted, and to whom the. prisoner said the mywery elf his birth arid manner of his education were known. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. The gentle man of Brixton declined taking him into his service. • BO W.ST R Err. Yesterday, a young woman, named Jane was charged with having stolen a sovereign and a half from a roan nanyed Elias Cragg, in a house of ill-fame, in Whit comb-street. The prosecutor not having appeared to sub stantiate the charge, a summons was issued to compel his attendance, and the prisoner was remanded to a future day. The history of the prisoner is curious. For three years she wore the dress of a boy, and actually officiated as waiter at ROwbottam's celebrated "finish." She - also lived as pot-boy at the Queen's f-lead public-house, in James-street, Covent-garden, after which it appears she went upon the town, and lived by thieving. 'When in service she was knois;n by the name of Jem Vincent. She had been con fined on three 'several occasions in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, for petty thieving, and she was committed to Newgrite for Stealing a silver tea-pot, and took her trial for the offenec at the bar of the Old Bailey in boy's idothes. She has ken' frequently charged at this office, and on no occasion that Ford, the gaoler, had to search her, did he discover her sex, or consider her in any other light than as " Jeri' Vincent, the noted young thief." In consequence of a robbery of which she was suspected, she was taken into custody, and the constable having made a stricter search, discovered for the first time that Jean Vincent and Jane Kinky . were one and the same person. After this discovery she resumed her woman's habit, and went down to Plymouth to see her friends. She then b ecame ac quainted with a young man by Whom she bad a child ; soon after which, finding herself deserted by her lover, her family and friends, she came once more to London to walk the town as a prostitute, which she had formerly traversed as a thief. She is a slight and rather well-looking girl 1 and her age is said to be not more than 19. WHITECHAPEI, I-IAT M ARK ET.—Feb. 4 Od. to St.. 0.1. t lover 654; (Al. lo 105,. 5traw......;--.

A rather respectable-looking man, named James Kenai, who had been a• broker residing in Little Dean -street, Soho, was yesterday brought before Mr. Bog, the sitting Magis trate, upon various charges of obtaining goods of different descriptions, but chiefly carpeting, frmu several tradesmen under false representations, but with one exception the cases were deemed by the Magistrate to be no more than contract debts. The excepted case was that of Mr. Denbigh, a carpet manufacturer in the Borough, of whom the prisoner obtained upwards of 100 yards of carpeting under the re presentation that he (the prisoner) was employed to furnish two houses fin• gentlemen, and for whose use, be said, the carpet wt!t; wanted ; but it subsequently turned out that the prisoner had no ender to. furnish any houses as be had stated, and that instead of applying time carpeting to any such use, he pledged it at a pawnbroker's shop almost immediately after getting it away from Mr. Denbigh's warehouse ; and on this charge the prisoner was fully committed for trial. ~.~ OLD BAILEY.
