Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will be seen by any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix ; anti it is on this plain ground, together with the acknowledged cheapness which natural facilities give to the construction of the Bristol and Exeter line, that the directors feel justified in holding out to the shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent. on the outly before-mentioned to Bridgwater. To this it may be added that it is the peculiar advantage of this line to open up new sources of profit in its progress, at such short successive distances as can rarely be presented by any similar undertaking. The comple tion of less than ten miles will enable the company, at an ample profit not included in the present or any estimate, to bring the pro ducts of a vast coal-field into the city of Bristol, at a charge of one shilling per ton : twelve additional miles, which bring the line close to the mouth of the Ax, and the natural harbour at Uphill will establish a line of communication betwixt the whole of the South of Ireland (including, of course, the southern coast of Wales), and Bristol, and London, of which the most sanguine can scarcely calculate the advantages ; and eleven miles snore, by car rying the line to Bridgwater, will necessarily render it the medium of intercourse between the Western Counties, and London, and the North. Although, as the subjoined accounts will shew, the outlay on the works is becoming heavy, the directors expect that the balance in hand, aided by the instalment now in coucse of receipt, will prevent the necessity, for some months, of a further call on the shareholders. Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole hue would be simultaneously in operation—and, under the feeling that all possible economy should be exercised—the directors have ear nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re duced several branehes of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a moiety, of the compensation, so liberally voted for their services at the first gelled! meeting. ' Carefully weighing, therefore, every consideration, whether of a public or private nature, which relates to this undertaking, the directors feel its vigorous prosecution to be their highest duty, and with a steadfast determination to fulfil it, cheerfully appeal to the confidence and support of all who are interested in its completion. Signed, on behalf of the Board. FREDERICK RICKETTS, Chairman. August 31st, 1837. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. Statement of Receipts and Expenditure, 30th June, 1837. RECEIPTS.

" The translation, and not least, that of the poetry, is well exe cuted. Jung, or, as he is more commonly called, Stilling, was a truly devout man, and unwearied in his labours to stem the torrent of vice and infidelity that broke in upon his native land."—Chris tian Observer, Feb. 1836. " The importance of this Second Volume even exceeds that of the preceding. Nothing but the reading of it can convey an ade quate impression of the trials, sorrows, and joys of this admirable man. Some people, we believe, vindicate novel reading, upon the ground that, though the story is fictitious, the pictures of character, life, and manners are faithful, and replete with instruction. Now to such we would say, Come hither, take this book, in the adven tures of Stilling and his family you will be held by an enchanting interest."—Evangelical Magazine, June, 1837. . " The book is, altogether, one of the most delightful we have ever read. It reminds us as much of the effect of Robinson Crusoe as of any other narrative we know ; but thet-two differ in this, that whereas Defoe's work givei to fiction all the life and force of fact, this makes fact as interesting and poetical as fiction."—Printing Machine. _ . _ " This book is the most delightful in the whole course of German literature.

"Stilling, like our own Goldsmith, adorns every thing he touches." —Sun. ,4 His celebrated work is incomparable.—Conversation's Lexicon, PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 24.-1 am much gratified to observe that the representations, most probably those made through your columns, with reference to the poverty and misery encountered in the United States by British emi grants, have had the desired effect ; and that the number of steerage passengers brought out by some of the last arri vals at New York have been but few. The ship Florida. from Liverpool, only landed three ; and the Creole and and Carroll were empty. 'l'hus in these three ships alone has a great amount of human suffering been saved ; for, be lieve me, that for the poor coming from England to the United States, it is merely changing from bad to worse ; beside the resolution of the Mayor of New York to charge ten dollars for every passenger landed in that city renders the speculation somewhat too expensive to be indulged in rashly.. A better time than the present for small capitalists who understand agriculture to pitch their tents in the west ern parts of the Union never occurred, as, from the prostra tion of business during the panic, lands are remarkably low, and, generally speaking, some of the richest land in the world may be selected for two or three dollars per acre in Wiscousin territory. This vast and fertile region is becom ing rapidly populated, though but two or three years since hardly a white man lived upon its soil. Already villages and towns spring up, and already large fortunes have been made there, in farming land, and other speculations. Courts of justice, churches, and public societies are established, railroads and highways begin to intersect the country, and several newspapers are started with flourishing lists of sub scribers. By way of proving the last assertion to be correct, I inclose you two Wiscousin public journals. When you remember that they are edited, printed, and published be tween 2,000 and 3,000 miles back from the Atlantic cities, I think you will admit them to be highly creditable speci mens of American enterprise. In size, matter, style, and type, they are fully equal to most English and American provincial journals ; and yet they are merely the organs of the political and general interests of first settlers„" pioneers" —voices that cry from the wilderness. If agricultural and mining emigrants direct their attention and bend their steps to such regions, they cannot fail of success. The best mode of access is by way of Philadelphia, and over the mountains by the Ohio railroad and canal, or by New Orleans and up the Mississippi. The charges on emigrants arriving in those ports arc a mere trifle compared with their taxation at New York. SPANISH FINANCES. The Supplement to the Madrid paper, the Patriota of the 27th ult., contains an article, evidently proceeding from au thority, upon the " Resources of the Nation." It possesses some interest, as setting forth the financial prospects of Spain in a more favourable light than they have of late admitted of, and is presented in a condensed form to our readers. We do not know the exact sum left in the public coffers by the Ministry which went out of office in August, 1836, nor that remaining in the treasury on the 18th of this month. In the middle of September last, however, above 76,000,000 were owing in bills and drafts upon the public treasury, and the pay department of the army, a species of floating debt created by M. Mendizabal during his first ad , ministration, a system by which the obligations of the pro vinces were covered by drawing upon Madrid, where the punctuality of pay me nt r endered this paper as negotiable as that of first-rate commercial signatures. The want of punctuality introduced since the 15th of May of last year, however, completely destroyed this resource, and the amount remaining unsatisfied in engagements of this description was one of the legacies received by the administration of Sep. tember, 1836, from its predecessors. In addition, it found itself encumbered by a debt of nearly 40,000,000, proceed ing from the contracts entered into with Gaviria and La font. The disturbed state of the country generally must alone be taken into consideration. The Calatrava administration found four extraordinary resources to meet these obligations and to provide for the public service :-1. The contributions of 200,000,000, which proved very unproductive, chiefly in consequence of the basis not having been adopted as originally proposed, of causing it to be borne by the largest contributors com prised in the electoral lists of the summer of 1836, and the classes nearest approximating to those contributors ; 2. The product of monastic edifices, their goods and chattels, and the bells of their churches ; 3. The exemption money arising from the levy of 50,000 men ; and 4. The exemp tion money arising from the enrolment of the national mili tia. The first of these resources produced 120,000,000. From the second so little has been received that it may be considered as still in existence, and available to the purposes of the new ministry. The third and fourth have produced about 30,000,000. These were the means at the disposal of the Minister. Those which he has left are the following :-1. The 76,000,000 of floating debt have been reduced by from 36 to 40,000,000 ; 2. In lieu of the 38 or 40,000,000 of trea sury billets in circulation upon the entrance of M. Mendiza bal into the administration, there are now not more than 22 to 23,000,000 in existence ; 3. The tithe has been abo lished, reserving its receipts, however, until the end of Feb ruary next, one half of the amount of which is destined to the public service, and may be calculated at 140,000,000. 4. The disposal of one-half of the extraordinary war con tribution has been authorised, and will produce at least 157,000,000. The new Ministry will thus possess resources available to the purposes of the public service to the conclusion of the a y e e c a o r , u t n l t i e lthearrgeemasiunndterofof2t9h7e,Ono,aor,Ocooo, ntr u ib , i u th ti o o u n t pr t o akg po in sed in t t , o y M. Mendizabal, and already sanctioned, in its most essen tial particulars, by the Cortcs. M. Mendizabal's plan of proceedin g to render these re sources immediately available was as follows : Ile proposed to create 120,000,000 of Treasury bonds apportioning this sum amongst all the provinces according to the ability of each, and permitting them to be received for their full value in the payment of the moiety of the tithes belonging to the nation, and of the extraordinary war contribution. The sum of 120,000,000 (at most not more than half the amount proceeding from the resources above mentioned) was fixed upon to prevent the possibility of the resources of the several provinces being over-estimated, and the consequent depreciation of the bonds. The negotiation of these bonds appears to have been con ditionally treated of, the bonds proceeding from former ne gotiations not yet liquidated being receivable in part pay ment., by which mode the ordinary contributions would be relieved from the weight of this paper. The protested bills were also to have been admitted in part payment ; a debt of a most sacred nature, and without the extinction of which the establishment, and continuance of a floating debt in Spain would be impossible. There would still remain 60,000,000 to receive in cash from the capitalists who were to undertake the negotiation, and in a period of three months, by which time the receipts ' of this province would amount at least to 15,000,000, mak ing thus a total of 75,000,000. Supposing that 12,000,000 of this amount would be applied to one quarter's expendi ture for purposes of every description payable in Madrid, 11,500,000 to the privy purse, and 7,500,000 for three months' pay to the troops of the district, these several ob jects would absorb 31,1300,000, leaving 44,000,000 for the pay and arrears of the army of Navarre, and to cover any deficiencies which might occur in providing for the necessi ties of the army of the centre and of Catalonia. The amount receivable from the half of the tithe and the extraordinary war contribution has been calculated above at 297,000,000. Even reducing this sum by 70,000,000, which is more than 24 per cent., their produce would be 227,000,000. 120,000,000 of this amount, as has been mentioned, would be represented by the Treasury bonds : there would consequently remain 107,000,000, together with 40,000,000 which vet remain to be realised from the levy of 200,000,000 (the remaining 40,000,000 having been already assigned). At the end of the year there would thus remain a resource of 147,000,000. By that period it would have been possible to introduce good order in the military and civil administrations, always, however, suppos ing that the army acted up to the hopes of the country ; for without triumphs, and a series of triumphs, obtained by th e army, neither credit nor money, nor a stable system of fi nance is possible. Two great obligations still remain to be treated of—the interest of the foreign and internal debt. Of the 80,000,000 of bonds in circulation on account of the first, there is rea son to believe that not more than 50,000,000 still remain to be withdrawn. The interest upon the home debt may be calculated at 56,000,000 ; there would thus still remain 41,000,000 16 - meet the - extraoidinary obligations of De cember and J anuary nex t. A n d it must be borne in mind that in this circulation no account has been taken of the excess over and above 227,000,000 to be expected from the tithes and war contribution, always supposing that the measures for the making the latter productive to its full ex tent are taken before the expiration of the year. The obligations of the Treasury being diminished, and its credit to a certain degree restored by the measures above alluded to, such as the payment of the protested government bills, extinction of a portion of the unfunded debt, and of the unpaid dividend bonds and coupons, the new year might ECCLESIASTICAL JUSTICE. (From the Northampton Chronicle.) • Our readers will recollect that scarcely a month has elapsed since they viewed the grand procession headed by the Marquis of Northampton, followed by the Magistrates, the Clergy, and the members of various Masonic Lodges in the county, when the stone of a new church, for the parish of All Saints, was laid by the Noble Lord. For some years appeals had been made stating the want of church accommodation for the parishioners if All Saints, and the necessity for the new building. By the aid of a fund left by a benevolent lady, for erecting new churches, and under the sanction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other trustees, who advanced from this fund three thousand pounds, the new church is in progress. We nom call the attention of our readers to the report of a suit brought in the Consistory Court, where it is proved that the parishioners of All Saints are excluded from seats in that church, while non-residents from the adjoining parish church, which is half empty, are admitted, and suffered by the churchwardens to occupy the beit and most commodious seats there, when, perhaps, the necessity for a new church will be questioned ; and we think that the members of the Established Church are much indebted to the zeal ' ous exertions of Mr. Becke, the promoter of the suit, a staunch Churchman, and liberal Whig. They will, at the same time, we apprehend, read with no little alarm, the extraordinary decision of the Conservative ((were ?) Tory Judge—his Eminence, as a divine and a politician, no doubt is acknowledged by his party, but his learning as a Civi lian—(if Lord Stowell's judgment and soundness as a law yer be admitted)—will, we should think, be doubted. It seems that Mr. Becke has occupied a large house in the parish, at a proportionate rent, since Michaelmas, 1834 ; that in Nov. 1834, he applied for seats to Mr. John Phipps, the then Churchwarden, but had no answer to his communi cation ; that he afterwards, at an accidental meeting (we pray our readers to bear this in mind), with Mr. Phipps, was informed by him that there was a large pew in the south aisle of the church, which was appropriated to the house, and Mr. Phipps advised Mr. Becke to lay claim to it ; that Mr. Becke having afterwards ascertained from his land lord, Mr. Whitworth, that the pew in question had be longed to another house situate in the Drapery, and which was formerly in the occupation of the late Mr. Whitworth, his father, both gentlemen (Mr. Whitworth and Mr. Becke) waited on Mr. Phipps, and informed him he was in error ; and moreover, that if the pew had been appropriated to Mr. Becke's house, he would have objected to have sat in it, it being a kind of accommodation pew, and occupied by various persons (to the number of 12), some of whom were non-residents. Mr. Phipps proposed (as it was sworn both by Mr. Becke and Mr. Whitworth, and not contra dicted by Mr. Phipps) that the two former gentlemen should go and view all the seats in the church, and if any suitable vacant seats could be found, Mr. Becke was to have them. No vacant scats were found, and it was then arranged be tween the parties that Mr. Becke should wait until a small pew, or seats in a suitable pew (Mr. Becke's family being himself, a brother, and a sister), became vacant. This, it will be borne in mind, took place in November, 1834. It then appeared that application was made to the then Churchwarden (Mr. Marshall), in June, 1835, for seats in a pew called the Vicar's Pew, and which was then occupied by Messrs. Scriven, attornics, and who are parishioners of St. Giles, and a family of the name of Cham bers—that the latter were going to leave—that the seats were promised to Mr. Becke, on condition ipiis paying Mr. Scriven a certain rent for the sittings,-that Mr. Becke in stantly objected to such an illegal and extraordinary request, but •expressed his willingness to pay the Vicar or the Church warden a proper sum when the Vicar's subscription was col lected. We must refer our readers to the report for the full facts of the extraordinary part of the case ; suffice it here to say, that because Mr. Becke would not pay Mr. Scriven, he (Mr. Scriven) let the pew to some friends of kis own, as the Churchwarden, Ilfr. Marshall (as was sworn by Mr. Becke, and not contradicted by Mr. Marshall) in formed the promoter. This curious state of timings left Mr. Becke without seats until January, 1836, when the seats again became vacant by the Chambers'leaving. Application upon application is then made by Mr. Becke's proctor to the Churchwarden to scat his client. The consequences of his refusal to do so are pointed out—a period of be tween two and three months is consumed in this nego tiation, and Mr. Marshall, the Churchwarden (as it was sworn to by Mr. Becke, and not contradicted) having ac tually threatened to seat Mr. Becke in an arm chair in the aisle of the church, the suit was then commenced. Mr. Becke, who conducted his case in person, cited a decision of Lord Stowell in Walter v. Gunner and another, in the first volume of Dr. Haggard's Reports, where the Learned Judge ruled that a Churchwarden was bound to seat a parishioner in preference to all non-parishioners ; " and that, for that purpose, the pews occupied by the non parishioners must be considered as vacant pews." It was proved on the part of Mr. Becke, and not contradicted by the Churchwardens, that about 20 pews were occupied by non residents. Mr. Bccke said he should waive his claim to the Vicar's pew (the Rev. Gentleman having married since the suit commenced, and his family now occupying the pew), and, under all the circumstances, he felt bound to call on the Judge to seat him in Mrs. Kerr's pew, she being, as the Learned Gentleman observed, a relative of Messrs. Scriven, and whose conduct was one principal reason for the origi nation of the suit. The Learned Gentleman produced the decision of Lord Stowell, which was exactly in point as to Mr. Becke's right to be seated in any pew most convenient to himself, and which was occupied by a non-parishioner. Mark, Readers, the judgment, and congratulate your selves that you arc not sureties to the Consistory Court of this Diocese. Dr. Butler, in delivering judgment, said it was clearly proved in his mind that proper seats had been offered to Mr. Becke, and that Mr. Striven was a parishioner, and that he should dismiss the suit and condemn Mr. Becke in two-thirds of the cost. Mr. Becke then asked the Learned Judge whether h^ would be pleased to decide on the most importmt part of the case—viz., the promoter's right to be seated in one of the non-residents' pews. The Judge first intimated that this claim had not been made in the earlier stages of the suit ; Luton Mr. Becke referring him to the first allejation or pleadiny filed in the suit, it appeared that it was made a claim, the Learned Judge (be it known) then intimated he should not give judgment on this part of the case ! It is almost needless to state that Mr. Becke immme diatcly gave notice of appeal to the Consistory Court in London. We rejoice, for many reasons, that the suit has terminated in this way, as we understand from Mr. Becke that he is advised by one of the most eminent civi lians (and who has advised Mr. Becke throughout the case) that upon the facts admitted by the Churchwar dens, Mr. Becke, in the opinion of the civilian, will not only be seated. but that the Churchwarden will be con demned in all the costs. We rejoice, therefore, that it will go before the Superior Tribunal, and we trust that this extraordinary decision will alone be a sufficient rea , on for the Legislature abolishing the inferior Ecclesiastical Tribunals, and which, our readers are aware, it. has for some time been in the contemplation of her Majesty's pre sent Ministry to accomplish. We hope the report of this trial will, by the medium of the Pres, , , be made generally known, and we think that but one opinion will be formed of the result. Mr. Becke is a staunch Whig. Ho intimated in the course of his address, that if his politics had been more agreeable to certain parties, the suit would never have been heard of. THE MA RQUI S.—The highly respectable company that meets nightly at a certain house in the Haymarket, miss much the distinguished nobleman who was wont to " stand treat" and be hail-fellow-well-met with all and each of them. It is true the house in question is still patronised by such of the set as honour the metropolis with their pre sence ; but the master spirit of the whole is absent. On the news of his Lordship's " accident" reaching the house in question, loud were the lamentations of his Lordship's " friends," and greet their surprise that Bergen watchmen should not resemble English pugilists, and consent to be " knocked about," by his Lordship fora " con-si-de-ra-tiou." This day is the anniversary of the burning of Moscow, in 1812 ; and likewise the anniversary of the death of three distinguiihed persons—Lord Bur Leigh, in 1603 ; Gen. \Voile, who was killed in 1759, which fur nished the melancholy subject of the hest picture painted by Benjamin West,afterwards President of the Royal Aca demy ; and Charles James Fox, who died in 1806. Hampton, the fool-hardy • crazed blockhead, whose ascent from Lord's Cricket Ground and descent, God knows where, in a parachute of his own making, was ad vertised, but did not take place—has written some unin telligible nonsense to the papers about the why and where fore he did not jeopardise his cal-ease, which it appears has becomeso cumbersome to him. In this silly illiterate epistle the man states his readiness to fulfil what. he calls his " con tract" with the public, being, as he says, fully confident of success. Is money or notoriety, or arc both, the aim of this person ? Is Mr. Hampton tired of his life ? If he be, let him go hang himself, and not call upon the public to pay for a silly suicidal exhibition in a parachute. We trust that the good taste and feeling of Englishmen will not be parties to a scheme for the perpetration of self-murder. Will the British public countenance an experiment from which, in any event, no good whatever can possibly proceed, and which is likely to bo attended with a result similar to that of which poor Cocking recently afforded a fatal ex ample ? Mr. Monck Mason, a gentleman who has devoted much attention to aeronautical subjects, warned the late Mr. Cocking, but in vain. Has he attempted to deter Hampton from his silly suicidal scheme ? BURSTING OF MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON The expected ascent of Mrs. Graham's balloon, which was to have taken place from Lord's Cricket-ground yes terday, and the failure of which upon the day previous had been the cause of much disappointment to the public, has been again delayed, if not altogether frustrated by the bursting of the balloon, which catastrophe took place dur ing the process of inflation, and about an hour before the time at which it was calculated it would be fully inflated. Most fortunately no personal injury was occasioned by the occurrence. There have been so many conflicting state ments regarding the event, that it was found extremely difficult to ascertain the true one. By some it is attributed to mismanagement in the inflation ; and by others, and the greater number, to injuries sustained by the balloon when coming in contact with the trees in the attempt on the preceding evening, and also to decay of the materials of which it was composed. The accident was not ac companied by any explosion. As may be supposed, the crowd that assembled on the occasion at four o'clock, with the expectation of receiving the promised gra tuitous exhibition as a compensation to the public for the failure on Monday (the proprietors having announced that tie entertainments last evening should be gratuitous), did not bear with mach resignation their very disvereeable dis appointment. Instead of a charitable sympathy with Mrs. Graham for the loss of her veteran balloon, as it may be called, which had faithfully borne her in many a perilous oyage, they gave expression, in no very measured terms, to the irritation of their feelings. Mr. Hampton, who it was announced would ascend in a safety parachute on the occa sion, was present during the evening, and reemed to regret much the lost opportunity of making his intended descent. It is but fair to say, that the disappointed spectators did not seem to entertain towards that gentleman much of their resentment, which none of the other parties concerned escaped. Indeed,• Mrs. Graham seemed to have formed a very wise anticipation of the nature of their feelings, for immediately after the occurrence she got the balloon, with all its paraphernalia, taken from the grounds. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 12. MR. SIIARMAN CRAWFORD.—This gentleman has again favoured the Tory world with another display of his episto lary caco'ethes scribendi ct nialedicendi. Letter the third is certainly not quite so lengthy as the antecedent effusions from Grawfordsburn, but it is composed of precisely si milar ingredients, and they are all hashed and served up in a style highly gratifying to Tory tastes. The Mail is exul tant, and knows not how sufficiently to mark the grateful sense of the service Mr. Crawford is rendering to the party to whom it belongs, and whose organ it is. This print be praises the ill-advised letter-writer in a spirit such as may be thought his Sstanic Majesty would cornmnd an active evil-doer for displaying. We have not thought it worth while to notice in any particular manner " letter the third," for we think that the last " warning voice " which the in fatuated, impracticable, and wrong-headed Mr. Crawford supposes or affects to suppose is sounded from his own small grey goose gull, is a very sorry squeak indeed, and deserving of little if any attention from the advocates of Reform: We believe him to be an honest well-meaning man, where personal prejudices and mortification do not in terfere with his political rectitude—and therefore really regret that an individual who might be, nay who has, in his degree, been us4ul as a subaltern in the ranks of the Re formers, should desert and malign the Leader who has achieved so many and such splendid victories in the cause of Ireland, but actually furnish weapons of attack to his collar:A enemies, turning his arms against his own countrymen. Mr. Crawford quarrels with Mr. O'Con nell because the latter gentleman deems that justice to Ireland is a good, the attainme n t o f w hi c h i s lik e ly t 3 be promoted by supporting the present Govern ment—the first and only one whose measures show a perfect sympathy with the wrongs of Ireland, and a deter mination to redre,s thcin. Mr. Crawford, no doubt, thinks that he alone is the advocate of principles, and that Mr. O'Connell and those gentlemen who act with him are mere men of expedients ; but what think and say the majority of his countrymen Do they not approve of the states manlike conduct of Mr. O'Connell, and censure the im practicability of the late member for Dundalk? If Mr. CrawlOrd be not a more presumptuous person than is ge nerally found, he must, we think, have misgivings as to the propriety of the course upon which he has entered. Sure we are that had he a private friend who wished him well, he would be " justified in speaking to (him) with a warning voice." In such a spirit we now speak, when we tell him that his letters have already damaged his reputa tion, and that by persisting in a course equally unwise and pernicious, he is laying the foundation in himself of poli tical paralysis, and a neutralization of any useful faculties he may possess for the service of his country. THE PROJECTED DINNER IN ATHLONE.—The Pilot slyg, " Some of our English Tory contemporaries have expressed a desire to be made acquainted with the circum stAnees which led to the postponement of the projected en tertainment at Athlone in honour of the return of Mr. John O'Connell as Member for the town. The following corn- munication will let them into the secret. We trust that the reason will be esteemed satisfactory, es ton great an ex citement of the Orange spleeu mi;lit have a dangerous endency : " Darrynane Abbey, 22d August, 1837. " My Dear S - r —Your letter of the 16th was directed to, me at Dublin, where I was not, and thus my delay in an swering it is accounted for. Your Representative, my son John, had gone to France before your letter was written. lie went there to make some researches in tha war-office, for ducuments respecting " The Irish Brigade" in the French service. He is engaged in an endeavour to rescue from oblivion a body of brave and faithful men, whose history mingles the chivalry of ro mance with the plain matter of fact details of military life. He will not return to Ireland until the middle of Septem ber. I make no doubt that if he had any ide i that such an invitation as you have sent was intended, he would have po,t potted his journey. Linder these circumstances, I feel that I owe it to the independent and honest electors of Athlone, to request per mission to decline this invitation, or perhaps I should more accurately sly to postpone accepting it. Your representa tive will be in Ireland before October, and if' you then re quire his presence or mine at Athlone, you shall command it. For my own part, I deem it one of the proulest fa vours ever conferred on me—that which I have received from the good men of Athlone. We are arrived at a [nest portentous era in Irish history. Ireland is in en attitude to right herself, and she should at once obtain justice, but that an inveterate and envenomed spirit of bigotry lies arisen in England, intent on continuing the oppression and degradation of Ireland. The Govern ment is inclined to act fairly and justly by the Irish people.
