The present volume of this Annual contains no less that' twenty- one beautif u l s k etc h es o f some o f t h e mos t rr n is antic scenes i n Spain and in Morocco.' The editor nr- Roscoe, an experienced traveller, and the en gravings are from drawings furnished by Roberts, who an artist is equally experienced. The " Gate of „ t h a e .

The °us group es t h at are issuing forth, in the i r gayest II , : Iday costume, some on foot, and some on horse from underneath the lofty, richly sculptured Tarchway, are di spose d w i th s i ngular sk i l l an d f ree d om. here is, however, something stiff' and wiry in the as pect of th e f o li age which overshadows one portion of the fore -ground, close by the gate.

CHRISTMAS LIBRARY—VoI. 1. Darton and Clark, London, 1838.

FLOWERS OF-LOVELINESS. Ackerman, London, 1837. Il e idea of this splendid work is a truly happy sari It Is, to represent various flowers by figures of bl 'ma lovelywomen,—for instance, the simple "Heath t hiso by a pretty young peasant girl, art , less and ti b.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CHAIN PIER. i The news of her Majesty's visit to the Pier this morn ing spread rapidly through the town ; and the cliffs in very short time became lined with spectators, and the roads rendered almost impassable from the number of gay equi pages that thronged the parades. At the entrance of the Pier barriers were put up, to prevent the public from an noying her Majesty as she inspected the works. The flooring was fresh gravelled, and the Pier on either side was covered with green baize. The public were admitted on the Esplanade, but were not allowed to proceed beyond the barriers, except a few of Captain Brown's friends, and the Reporters of the London and local Press, who were in debted to Capt. Brown's courtesy for tickets of admission. At twelve o'clock, the hour at which it was understood that her Majesty intended to leave the Palace, a large number of persons congregated near the gates, and shortly after twelve the Royal carriage (a barouche), containino. her Majesty, the Duchess of K en t, th e C oun t ess of " Mul grave, and Lady Mary Stopford, drove out of the south gates. The Royal carriage, which was drawn by her Majesty's grey ponies, and preceded by outriders in scarlet liveries, proceeded through Castle-square across the old Steine, followed by another carriage, containing Lady Gar diner. Colonel Armstrong walked to the Pier, and Colonel Cavendish rode by the side of the Royal carriage. As soon as her Majesty approached the entrance of the Pier Esplanade, a Royal salute was fired from the guns at the outer Pier-head. Captain Greville's yacht came along side the Pier, and various craft on the water added to the gaity of the scene. The Royal carriage proceeded slowly through the dense assemblage collected on the Pier Espla nade, her Majesty bowing to the people on either side of the carriage as she passed, till she arrived at the entrance of the Pier, when the barriers were removed, and the Royal party alighted, and were received by Captain Brown and the High Constable, Mr. Wright. The Queen, who appeared in high spirits, took the arm of her illustrious mother, and was conducted by Captain Brown to the extremity of the Pier. When her Majesty approached the outer Pier-head the band of the Carbineers played the National Anthem. We observed on the Pier the Borough Members, and Mr. Hume, M.P. (who had arrived with his family from Worthing), and her Majesty was pleased to recognise and speak to them. The Queen also paid marked attention to Lady Dalryniple, who was presented to the Queen on the Pier by her Majesty's express command, conveyed through the Countess of Mulgrave. Shortly before one o'clock the Royal party returned to their carriages, which were in waiting for them, and having taken their seats her Majesty and suite proceeded to the Palace to luncheon. Lord Melbourne, Lord and Lady John Russell, and Lord Lilford rode to the entrance of the St. James's Staircase in a carriage, where they alighted, to receive her Majesty on her arrival at the Pier. At two o'clock her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent and the Countess of Mulgrave, Lady Mary Stopford, Lord Melbourne, Colonel Cavendish, Lord Lilford, and Sir George Quentin rode out or, horseback, proceeding up the Marine Parade, in the direction of Kemp Town. The Judge-Advocate-General, Mr. Cutler Ferguson, had an audience of the Queen this morning, when he submitted to her Majesty the proceeding s of several ge neral Courts-Martial. Sh or tly afterwa r d s Mr. Fergusson took his departure for town. COURT CIRCULAR. Viscount B2resford transacted business yesterday at the Home office.

CLUB OF TRUE HIGHLANDERS'. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. British Coffee-house, Oct. 17. Sta,—The members of this Society regret the necessity of obtruding their affairs upon the public, with reference to the mendacious statements put forth in late numbers of the Dispatch. They would have rectified the misrepresentation s had they not been published under editorial authority ; but, in justice to themselves, they feel bound to give a distinct denial to as much as relates to the Society, which contains not one particle of truth. They are obliged to the authors of several replies to the impudent assertions of this paper ; but they beg to say, that this is the only notice which the Club has thought it necessary to take of the matter. No true Scotsman cares a straw for the intemperate re marks of this ignorant scribbler, respecting the Highland dress, protected as he is in wearing it by express Act of Bri tish Parliament. He feels confident that in all well consti tuted minds he is acquitted of indecency while wearing the Feilebeag, and he values the declamations of the Dispatch, as little as he does the silly sneers of those nearer home who affect the same sensitiveness at sight of a naked knee. .

Dr. Joynes. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 19. LORD. CLONCURRY.—This patriotic Nobleman has promptly responded to the call made upon him by Mr. O'Connell on Thursday. It will be seen by the following letter, which appears to-day in the Dublin Evening Post, that the Noble Lord hesitates not to come forward and cor dially co-operate with Mr. O'Connell in the proposal of the Liberator for a meeting of the Irish Members in Dublin. Lord Cloncurry's hope of the practicability or benefit of the proposed meeting,. is, he acknowledges, greatly diminished, from causes which he states ; yet (he adds) " I feel it my duty to attempt it, and for the first eight days in November I shall attend in Dublin to confer with all Members of Par liament," &e. &e. Dear O'Connell—My Irish Newspaper was purloined yesterday, probably in the Post-office, or your letter should have had the immediate answer its importance required. I have always considered a meeting of the Irish Mem bers in Dublin, on their way to Parliament, most desirable as a means of obtaining information, and establishing that mutual understanding so necessary for the common good ; and, in this most auspicious year, graced by the personifi cation of peace and loveliness, I did hope, laying aside all party feeling, we should have calmly discussed the all-im portant measures of national improvement likely to be brought before Parliament—poor-laws, reclamation of wastes, railways, canals, and fisheries. As far as lay in my power I should have avoided every subject likely to produce angry discussion. I was fully satisfied with the exposure of Kildare-place by itself; and with the triumph of na 'tional education, by the instrumentality of the enemy. I was satisfied by the pledge of the Duke of Welling ton, as to Corporation Reform, and felt certain that Mi nisters would obey their Royal Mistress, by extending to us the full benefit of the laws and institutions of Britain. I should have respectfully solicited confidential communication with the different Commissioners of Poor Law Inquiry, of Railroads, of Fisheries, of Shannon Im provement, Public Works, Education, and Police. Thus, the Representatives of Ireland,in both Houses, would have carried with them the information necessary for Legislators, the facility of co-operation, a union of spirit, and the respect of the people, who would entrust to them their expression of love and duty to their Queen, their humble and justifiable expectations, their wishes and their wants. Such useful, friendly conference can hardly now be hoped for. - The enemies of Ireland and of peace, in the fury of despair, have infringed the law and braved their Sovereign, in the vain hope to retard Legislation, and to w ithh o ld justice—they have violated the Constitution, and, by in sult and violence, endeavoured to excite the bad passions of the multitude. This has greatly diminished my hope of the practicability or benefit of the proposed meeting, but I feel it my duty t o attempt it, and, for the eight fi rs t days of November I shall attend in Dublin, to confer with all Members of Parliament and of Public Boards, and to receive such petitions for pre sentation as may be entrusted to me. We have seen our countrymen, by their own energy and determination, wrest from a corrupt and bigotted Legisla ture—from the old and unwilling Georges—the great por tion of their long withheld rights. Can we doubt that, under present most happy auspices, the remainder will be cheerfully and wisely granted, to the equal benefit of both countries, and the eternal gratitude of ours? Delay is all we have to fear ; but how mischievous is delay! Here bas been the second city of the empire left for two years to the mercy of the plunderer, merely to gratify the majority of the Lords, by throwing out our Police Bill. Fortunately the spoil has only extended to a few thousand pocket-handker chiefs ; but many honest and industrious men have been beaten nearly to death, at mid-day, by drunken combina tory, in the public streets. The small amount of mischief done, during this interregnum of civic law, is as credita ble to our distressed population, as shameful to the Peers. The spoliation of Corporate property has been continued, in like manner, to whip the Queen's Ministers on our backs. The Magistrates of the county Dublin have now weekly meetings to contrive a substitute for the City Police, withdrawn from ten important stations—including Kings town, the Wapping of our city, thus curtailed of its propor tions to vex the Queen's Ministers. Much of this folly, I am certain, proceeds from ignorance, which would be dimi nished by conference on the spot. I remember when a Noble Peer objected to the sale of a Bishdp's house, lest it should be desecrated by a Catholic purchaser. I asked if it would be worse than selling it for a barrack, and was im mediately contradicted, as if I had said the impossible thing. A visit to Dublin would prove such contradiction to be undeserved. Why does the Admiralty charge fifteen shillings for a passage to Holyhead, sixty miles, and twelve to Liverpool, one hundred and twenty ? • Why does my Irish paper cost postage, and my English come free, one hundred times the distance? Why are the letters of the poor charged double postage, until the half be given back, let its importance be what it may ? Why can a set of party Magistrates refuse a Petty Sessions to a large town (Bray, for instance), and establish it at privacy in a gate lodge ? The manifold and most serious grievances to which our people are subjected are unknown in England, or we would have the support of all good men in Parliament, or out, for their removal. Bribery, intimidation, the imperfections of the Reform Bill, and the most indecent conduct of a large portion of the Clergy, have for a moment suppressed the good feeling and the good sense of the least informed of the people ; but I have no doubt that that baneful in fluence will be speedily overcome, and that if we discuss and determine on necessary measures in Dublin, and sub mit them to the consideration of the Legislature and of the Government, they will be carried, and this, I earnestly and most humbly submit to the Peers and Commoners of Ireland of every party, who . value property and peace, and wish for the prosperity and improvement of their country. I have the honour to remain, Your faithful, humble servant, CLONCe RRY. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Among the list of crimes lately provided by the Orange press was the murder alluded to in the following extract : THE LATE MURDER NEAR ANTRIM.—The murder of John Donnelly, on the 28th ultimo, near Antrim, is be lieved to have been perpetrated on account of religious feeling—if we may so abuse the use of the word " reli gious?' Several circumstances, which it is unnecessary to repeat, go to show this ; and entirely to disprove an allega tion, which has been made, that the murder originated :n an attempt to rob. One of the persons concerned, in the murder has been taken ; and the two others (for there were three) have fled. The murdered man was a Roman Catholic. The influential men in the neighbourhood have not yet, we believe, come forward to offer any reward for the apprehension or discovery of the murderers not yet ap prehended. Government has offered a reward of 501. ; hut, we presume, so small a sum was offered withaut the knowledge of the fact, that it was a case of waylaying and murder. Some efforts should 'be made in this affair. It will reflect very much discredit upon the gentlemen in the neighbourhood, if they do not act differently from what they appear to do. Party feeling is increasing very much in that part of the country ; and no means should be omitted which would tend to allay it.—Nortbern Whit, So that this turns out, after all, to have been the murder or a Roman Catholic ; and from the facts stated by our Northern Contemporary, there appears strong grorata for prlsuinption that it was an a cage v,sui der. The Dub/in Evening Post makes the followi . .ig observa tions in reference to the talk of the Time; about 111. r. J. O'Dwyer : " ORANGE GRIEVANCES AND J g upw - TER,-y i had intended to offer some observations on the subject, but the pressure of local matter preclude us for the present. One word, however : It seems that J. O'Dwyer is one of the ill used gentlemen. It is not stated by the Times that Mr. J. O'Dwyer is a convert from Popery. It is not mentioned that some of his family enjoy pensions. It is acknowledged, indeed, that as assessor, he set aside his own decisions as Registering Barrister ; but it is not stated by our London Contemporary that he was a Registering Barrister under Lord Anglesey's Administration, and an Assessor under the AdMinistration of Lord Haddington. We do not say that the circnmstances respectively had an influence on his opinion. We content ourselves with stating the facts. But we find it will be necessary to bestow more space upon the subject than we can at present afford Co concede to the merits of J. O'Dwyer and the comments of the Times." DEFEAT OF TIIE HANOVERIANS.--The Dublin corpo rators are, after all, an ungrateful set of varlets. They have chosen Mr. Ex-Sheriff Carolan an alderman of the city, in preference to Mr. Ex-sheriff Bryan, at whose ex pense they haVe been eating and drinking during the last twelvemonths. Never did the Hanoverians receive so signal a defeat as on yesterday, when " Bryan the brave," the ambassador extraordinary to King Ernest, and, backed as he was by the Right Hon. the Recorder, was compelled to beat an inglorious retreat, and yield the palm of victory to so obscure an individual as Mr. Carotan. The claim of the ex-sheriff was grounded on the character which be has earned for himself as a diplomatist. Mr. Shaw assured the commons that his friend had done great things in Hanover, and hinted that he was looked upon as "a wondrous proper man" by the King and Queen, with both of whom he had frequent intercourse, during his stay at the Hanoverian Court. Notwithstanding all this, Mr. Bryan was defeated by a majority of 42.—Freeman. CARLOW.--VIGNOLES.- —We have not heard that Captain Vignoles has disclaimed the infamous calumnies against the Government uttered by his counsel. In not contradicting, he has sanctioned them. The case now rests with the Government. It must answer the question— after having asserted itself with Verner will it be crushed by Vignoles We put the case on its real merits the very moment we got a view of it through the report of the trial. It was ob vious. Either Mr. O'Connell made the speech reported of him, now it is acknowledged, by Vignoles, or he did not. If he did make the speech it should be known, and let him abide by it. If he did not make the speech, then was Vignoles a falsifier, and a violator of official duty. This should be cleared up, for it involves, if it stood alone, whether Vignoles is or is not a proper functionary. Then was he persecuted, and by whom, in consequence of that report ? His lawyer stated it—he has not contradicted it. He should be made to deny or prove, or be dismissed as a caluinnious and unworthy servant. It seems he also became an associate and party with vulgar Torn Watson, to insult a respectable Carlow Magis trate for the discharge of his duty. We acquit vulgar Toni of any intention to provoke a fight. We heard a monosyllable whispered in his ear at a former Carlow election, which convinces us that no one will blow TOM'S brains out but himself Therefore if the Magistrate has taken Tom's measure as well as we have, he will not swear he intended to commit a breach of the peace. But Vignoles was a party with the man who so acted. It was a breach of his duty, as pacificator, so to be. He neglected his duty, when he permitted it unre proved in his presence. This also is subject for inquiry, and another ground for dismissal. Indeed, from a stronger treatment of Vignoles' case in the Government paper—the last publication—th an heretofore—we anticipate that some vigorous step is meditated.—Pilot. TUE POLICE.—The Mail again ventures to talk of the police as " Swiss," because they are not permitted to be gainekeepers, &c., to the squireehs. But, as we predicted, it has not meet the proofs we gave of the wisdom of the regulation of .Col. Kennedy as regarded that essential thing, the discipline of the police and the protection of the community at large.—lbid. THE DIAMOND--ITS BLASPHEMOUS APPENDAGE.— Our readers may wish to know the state of the butchery toast, with its congenial appendage of vulgar blasphemy in the Orange Club of Tralee. It stands thus :—Mr. Thomp son, originally accused, has denied he gave the toast. Some Mr. Caulfield denied that he drank it. The Tory newspapers applauded these denials as proofs that the club was unspotted with the blasphemy. But when a Mr. Bate son—a stamp distributor under Government, is accused by the Tralee Mercury—of having given it—his silence un der the imputation is applauded by the same papers as proper spirit. So the case remains thus. Mr. Bateson stands as tll. giver—Mr. Thompson as having pressed it rudely, and— as we have it, now that it was not drank—it appears that the proposer and seconder were crushed by the spirit of Mr. Saunders and the military gentlemen present. So we have at once vulgar blasphemy, timid shrinking, and mean concealment. Be it among you, "blind harpers."--/bid. MURDER OF GANLEY.—Two men named Byrne and Peter Byrne, one a coal-porter and the other a corn-porter, both residing in Moss-street, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Ganley. Upon a strict inquiry, it was found that they were in the neighbourhood where the murder was committed on that evening. They refused to answer any questions, or to give any account of themselves. A large oak stick was found in their lodgings. They were committed for further examination. THE LEEDS ORGAN. Last evening a very respectable and numerous audience assembled at the Music-hall, Store -street, to hear Mr. Adams perform on this superb instrument. Considerable interest was manifested for the appearance of the performer, the company which had assembled on the former occasion having been disappointed by that gentleman. Seven o'clock was the hour announced for the commencement of the musical entertainment, and half an hour having elapsed beyond the time appointed, considerable impatience was manifested for the entry of Mr. Adams. A gentleman, however, came forward, and made the formal return to the call for Mr. Adams, non est inventus. This gentleman ap pears to have the fault attributed to all great performers, whether vocal or instrumental, delineated by Horace— " Omnibus cantoribus hoc victium est at inter amicos nun quam inducant animum cantuse sogati." In this dilemma a volunteer undertook to entertain the audience with a per formance ; but he had no sooner poured forth a full peal from this powerful instrument, if not sufficient to " call spi rits from the vasty deep," was powerful enough to evoke the spirit of harmony, in the person of Mr. Adams, the desire, who, having taken his place at the organ, like his prototype, Tigellius, amply compensated, by his admirable execution for his previous absence ; in fact, it rained music on the delighted ear. The principal part of his performance consisted of extemporaneous pieces, among whieli he intro duced a beautiful piece from " Haydn's Seasons," and an other from Corelli, the " Harmonious Blacksmith," and the overture from Zauberflote ; all of which lie executed with the utmost skill and effect, which elicited 'the plaudits of the assembly. The instrument itself is of the first character, its tones are powerful, full, anti melodious, and is an admirable specimen of the perfection to which organ-building has been brought in this country, It certainly lost nothing on this occasion, as Mr. Adams took care to exhibit its power and effect by the variety and character of the music which he selected for performance. The company was highly de lighted with the performance, and though at first rather out of humour at the delay which took place, showed the power of music "to seethe the angry breast." We would, how ever, recommend the proprietors not to trespass again upo.l the good -nature of John Bull—punctuality on these occa sions is everything. A house largely engaged in the India and China trade, that duri ng th e l ate pan i c was compelled to suspend its payments, has concluded arrangements for the early liquidation of all its engagements. Not only will it pay in full, but it is said in well-informed circles that there will be a very considerable surplus, without. touching the lei rate property of the partners. The respect in which this firm has long been held has made this a matter of very general congratulation.—Morning Chronicle. Another very encouraging circumstance connected with the liquidation of the affairs of the American firms in London, iias come to our knowledge, and is additional evi dence ad' the integrity and uprightness of the merchants of New York. The same firm which we stated yesterday bad been apprised by one of their correspondents of his ability to take up his bills, to the amount of nearly 100,0001., 'has recently received 45,000/., entirely in gold and silver, from another merchant in the United States, to cancel bills to that amount which had been accepted on his ac count, although he was aware that not one shilling's worth of the goods against which he heal drawn had been sold while, moreover, it cost him no less than 6.000/. to export the specie ; so that he not only procured 51,000/. in hard money to maintain his credit and relieve his correspondent in this country, bat is obliged to wait a considerable time before he can receive any return for the merchandise trans mitted to England anti elsewhere, besides being deprived of the use of money and ' (-roods, to the value of nearly 100,000/. One establishment, therefore, has been able to liquidate its liabilities to the extent of nearly 130,000 i., by the: exertions of two individuals. Could a stronger proof titan this be adduced of the disinterestedness and good feeling ed the American merchants, as well as of the ex teesive sacrifices which they .readily make to discharge their debts ? Every day, in fact, brings further proof to light of the handsome manner in which all parties are act ing ; and we feel confident in stating that the losses at the ultimate adjustment of the accounts will be found compara tively trifling, while the different partners of the three great firms will find themselves in the possession of ample means to recommence active operations, if they think proper. — nine Ckaonic/a. I SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Lord Stanley only spoke as a statesman when, some days since. he declared that the real security of the Church of England consisted in the love of the Ero_Oish people. " I have no fears," said his Lord- Lhip, " for the Established Church, because I believe it to be grounded on the love of the English peop:e." Now, so long as this can be truly predicated of the Church, that it possesses the heart of the country, so lone may it laugh to scorn the worst efforts of the infidel or the revolutionist. But let us 'see how far Lord Stanley's principle of security applies to another Establishment which he has taken under his peculiar care, for the avowed protection of which he would be reave a third portion of the British empire of those privileges which improve and illustrate the remainder. and expel from power a Government on which theaffec tions of six-sevenths of its subjects are fixed. !Alt us compare the claims of the Churches •of England and of Ireland upon the love of the people, and see whether there be a solitary circumstance the nature, origin, or subsequent history of these establishm e nt s , w hi c h h as gat h ere d roun d the one the affections of the English people, that has not tended to alienate from the other the hearts of those for whose conversion from deep-rooted and inveterate opinions it was originally instituted ; an object only to be arrived at by making captive their affections, in which it has egregiously and notoriously failed. The establishment of the Protestant Church in England was the conse quence and result of a mighty change—the growth of many years—which had taken place in the dispositions of the English people ; they had " thrown off the old and wrinkled skin of superstition, and entered the glorious ways of reformed Christian truth." From the moment of its establishment the Church of Eng land had a people for its flock, and reposed upon their hearts as its best and surest foundation. From that hour to the present, however abuses may have crept into its institution—however greedy wolves may have sometimes climbed into its fold— however, on some occasions, its Ministers may have assumed an attitude of hostility to the spread of knowledge and of public rights, yet has ft ever nou rished on its altars a fire of devot:on so steady and so pure—the opposition of its pastors to the public weal has, with some sad exceptions, so rarely over stepped the bounds of decency, so seldom have the privileges of the people been sacrificed avowedly to its security—that it still maintains the character of a na tional Church, not alone as owing its.existence to the law, hut as resting for support upon the approbation of the people. But what resemblance does the Irish Church bear in its origin to this institution, or with what pretensions does it aspire to that which alone constitutes the security of the English Church, namely the regard of the people ? When the Protestant Church was planted by Elizabeth in Ireland," says Mr. Hallam, " the reformed faith had made but little progress. The disciples of the Reformation were in the most inconsiderable proportion among the Anglo- Irish colony, as well as among the natives ; their Church was a government without subjects, a college of shepherds without sheep." Thus the Church of Ireland was not like that of England--the Church of the people, but that of a faction—of an incon siderable portion, who were known in no other light than that of conquerors and persecutors, and accord ingly was regarded on its first establishment as the badge of oppression, not as the means of enlighten ment, or the source of Christian truth. " Scarce any pains," continues the same authority, " were taken in the age of Elizabeth, nor in the subsequent ages, to win the people's convicti on , or to era di cate their superstitions, except by penal statutes and the sword." To judge of the amount of popular esteem to which such an establishment, as far as its original institution goes, is entitled, we have only to ask our selves with what veneration we should regard a Popish Church, were it planted in England by foreign agency, and upheld by penal statutes and the sword. The Church thus forced upon a dissenting people, and being an institution from which that people, to use the language of Edmund Burke, " derive, living or dying, not the least of instruction or consolation," let us see what means were adopted to gather round it the hearts of the community. Its establiShment was a signal for a refinement of persecution the most appal ling that ever yet degraded the fair cause of truth, or gave life and vigour to that of error. Not only the Catholics, the immense majority, were ex cluded from every office of Emolument and honour ; not only was the exercise of their own religion for bidden by the law, but they were compelled, under the dread of terrific penalties, to kneel at altars which they always deemed, ond now hated, as profane. The Catholic priests were ordered to quit the realm, while the benefices fell into the hands of " Protestant strangers or conforming Ministers, dissolute and igno rant, as careless to teach as the people were predeter mined not to listen." To go through the catalogue of frightful statutes enacted since the establishment of the Church in Ireland to uphold it against a dissenting people, and for the sake of a faction who looked to it as a source of revenue and an instrument of oppression, would be a gloomy task. " To have exterminated the Catholics by the sword," says Mr. Hallam, speaking of that penal code, the enactment of which was sup ported and its repeal opposed for the avowed security of the Protestant Church, " or expelled them like the Moriscoes of Spain, would have been little more repugnant to justice and humanity, but incomparably more politic." To preserve the Church of a handful, the Catholic was robbed of, and declared incapable of, property ; the Catholic schoolmaster was declared a felon ; the Catholic who sought education abroad was made an outlaw ; and to crown this system of inso- . lence awd persecution, the reasons now assignei by the genuine descendants of the fiend-like legislators who forged this hellish code, against admitting Ca tholics to British privileges, .are, first, their want of knowledge ; next, their want of property—knowledge, from which they were excluded—property, of which they were robbed by a code framed and supported up to the moment of its extinction, as essential to the preservation of the Established Church. Such, then, are the institutions of which the one has reaped the harvest of national esteem, and stands secure in that rich possession ; while the other, though declared by the Tories to be an ob ject of undying hatred to six-sevenths of the people— though its existence (to follow the same authority) is struck at by a Protestant Ministry, encouraged in their. destructive measures by two-thirds of the Scottish nation, and supported by the almost unanimous voice of every constituency in England, conspicuous for wealth, enlightenment, or virtue—is nevertheless still considered so secure in popular respect as to be held forth on all occasions as the plea for eery blow levelled at the liberty of the Irish people, and declared to be the only obstacle to their attainment of the en nobling privileges of British subjects. The Estab lished Church of England was the Church of the people, and represented in its first origin their religi ous sentiments ; the Church of Ireland was that of a faction flushed with victory and insolence, and forged, by the help of a foreign sword, upon the necks of a dissenting people. The Church of E n o- land has been supported by no terrific statutes levelled at the property, the enlightenment, or th e lib erty o f the people. The Church of Ireland has leant upon a bayonet or a code, more cruel still, unparalleled, says Burke, as an instrument for impoverishing and barba rizing a people, and degrading in them even human nature itself. The Church of England has enrolled among its votaties millions of the people ; while the empty temples of the Irish Church stand among a people who deny its doctrincs, at once the plc-a for every new oppression, ant the awful proof that truth and persecution cannot thrive together. - What, then, can save the Irish Church, beresved of that security _which constitutes the strength coed safety of the English Church ? What but th e removal of those causes which excite against it the animosity of the country ; what but declaring that its existence is not incompatible with those privilve exalt a nation ; e a which ennoble an dl what but dseelaring that the sap and nutriment of a land, ininoveri9hed hitherto for its support, shall no . longer applied to any purposes beyond the spiritual wants of. thosz it represents, but shall return to afford people from wh ose bl oo d an d vitalsso l t i i t , t e l y e bhcaeiyeefit,t been a n wrung ?-31orning Chronicle.
