CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE VENTILATING STOVE. (Testimonial after one Winter's trial.) " St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1848. "My dear Sir,—l have very 'great pleasure in giving my public testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to he in theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have not yet discovered the point in which the practice f 4.115 short of the theory. " The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already erected has thily answered my highest expectations, and realised all that you have given me to expect. If confirmation were needed for evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made, and that every attempt had pr , ved a signal failure—that I was ex posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice, and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent. " I night add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect rig your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter, where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach to approval must carry with it great weight.

This lady bad the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. "Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. S'wan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grirnstone, of the ilerbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months. and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than t ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies world gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure In answering any lady of respectability to the above facts. —3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The'iii9stdelicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most our necessar ten or y com e pan rops ion to the toilet. In c tscs of nevous headache, p twelv d on the erovrn of the heal ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplcations. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet el testimonials.

She died in conse quence of her own neglect or the neglect of those about her. If, on the other hand, the urgent symptoms showed themselves when she sent for medical relief, the probability is that the fever was contracted at a period subsequent to her leaving the Spinning-house.

The celebrated economist was on S jollFiley to Italy for the benefit of bie heath, iati on, THE STATE OF IRELAND. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD J. RUSSELL, &c. My Lord,--The deep anxiety which must be felt by every man who is connected with Ireland, by property or residence, regarding the present disastrious condition of her population, will be, I trust, a sufficient apology for my adding one more to the number of those who have addressed your Lordship on the subject of the remedies which that condition requires. But those who venture to propose remedies for a disease are bound first to inquire into and determine the •auses of evil The records of Irish history—the statutes of Parlia ment—the reports of committees and commissioners — all join in establishing this one undoubted fact—" That every evil in the present condition of the people of Ire land is directly traceable to the system of letting lands adopted by those proprietors on whom the forfeited estates were originally conferred, and as continued by their successors." The middle tenant system—the joint tenantry—the cottier takes—the con-acre—the rack renting ; all these practices, the names of which are un known and almost unintelligible to Englishmen, sprang from the reckless conduct of these proprietors; and hence arise all those evils which we now suffer—exces sive population in some districts—extended wastes in other (almost contiguous) parts—bad cultivation—bad housing—apathy, indolence, and idleness of the people— want of ,employment—want of manufactures —in fact, the absence of every element of prosperity. This state of things prevails generally over more than three-fourths of Ireland; and, if what I have here asserted requires any confirmation, it is found in the fact, that, in the north-eastern portion of the province of Ulster, in which is situate the town of Belfast, where the relations of landlord and tenant are established on more just prin ciples, a prosperous, happy, and well employed popula tion exhibit all the benefical fruits of industrious enter- Such was the mischief created by those proprietors on whom the state conferred those lands. They had no feeling of moral responsibility fur the welfare of the people, and no legal responsibility was created by the laws of the country. Why?—because these landlords were, themselves, both the Government and the legisla tors; they had supreme power in the Irish Parliament, and worked together solely for their own selfish objects. But the landlords of the present day will say, " We are not to blame for this ; it was the landlords of former generations who were the authors of the evil—we are sufferers in common with the rest of the community." Very true. But if we, the landlords of the present day, have, by inheritance, the estates of our forefathers, and enjoy the rights arid privileges attached to the posses sion of landed property, can we throw off the responsi bility attached to their misdeeds ? In justice we cannot. I, for one, shrink not from the full acknowledgment of the responsibility. But again, have the landlords of the present day no account to settle ? I say they have ; if not for misdeeds of their own, they have neglects of their own to answer for. I admit that they cannot remedy the misdeeds of their predecessors without the aid of the Legislature. But, I ask, have they, the landlords of Ireland, either as members of the Legislature, or in any. other capacity, used any exertion to suggest or procure the enactment of any measures fur the employment of the people or the amelioration of their condition ? The landlords plead that their hands are tied by entails, and that they are oppressed by rent-charges and mortgages, the owners of which are not made liable to taxation. Rave they sought for any measure of relief ? They have done nothing ; they have been apathetic, both as regards their own interests and the interests o f the people; and now this awful calamity and responsibility comes upon them, without any preparation to meet it. I have shown what the landlords have to answer for. I have no disposition to screen my own class from their cue responsibility ; but they are not the sole delinquents. I arraign the Imperial Parliaments, and the different Governments which have been in power since the Union, xith the commission of bad legislation and the neglect of good. They knew, by the reports of their committees Ind commissions, both the evils and the remedies ; and if the landlords of Ireland neglected their duty, and the Members for Ireland neglected theirs, it does not absolve the Governments and the Legislature from participation in the continuation of bad systems, and the neglect of the remedies required to amend them. I have now briefly stated the causes of our diseased system. I next inquire from what defect in our treat ment was this diseased condition seffered to take root, and progress as it has done ? I answer briefly—" Be cause nu legal responsibility was imposed on the property of the country fcr the employment of the people." Then, what is the remedy ? I answer as briefly—" Impose this responsibility in its direct and simple form, throwing aside the mischievous complications of advances from, and debts to, the state, and the accumulating pressure resulting from such a course." To explain my meaning more fully, I would submit to your Lordship's consideration some such measures as the following :—I do not ask that the provisions for the employment of the people should be combined with, or form part of, the poor-law machinery, only so far as the divisions into unions may be convenient for the purpose. At pre ent, regulations have been adopted for the con struction of relief committees by the Government, to whom the duty is entrusted of ascertaining the numbers requiring employment, and in destitution for want of it. I would propose that a committee of this description should be formed in each union, and that powers should be vested in the Uovernment to impose a tax on the union to such an amount as might be necessary to give employment (or else rations of food) to such of these destitute persons as should not receive employment, or be able to obtain it, by other means. I would pro pose that this should be combined with a clause, exempt ing from taxation any townland, or combination of townlands, in one estate, which shall give employment to its doe quota of the labourers returned by the relief committee as in want of employment—the tax to be levied, as under the poor-law, in certain propor tions from landlord and tenant, and on all descrip tions of real property. subjecting to such tax every holder of laud, without exception, no matter how small the extent; because it is expedient that, by all classes being rendered liable to the pressure of taxa tion, they should be taught and compelled to do their duties in their several spheres; the owners of lands and the tenants of the higher class to give employment; and the tenants of the working class, who may be small holders of land, to be stimulated to support themselves by increasing the production from the land in their oc cupation, and not to augment the taxation, of which themselves would bear a part, by pressing for employ ment at the public cost. By a measure of this nature, I would impose perma nently on the property of the country the responsibility of the employment of the people; but, under the extra ordinary and unexpected pressure existing at the time, I would propose that a temporary discretion should Ise vested in the Government, in case the demands on any particular union exceeded a certain amount on the valuation; and, in case the Government should be satis fied that all due exertion had been made in the locality, $o order a contribution, in aid, from the public funds, to such extent as might be necessary, not to be chargeable on the union. The State, being responsible for its neglects, as well as the landlords, may be fairly expected to contribute its quota; the principle of the ordinary re sponsibility of the property of ate country being first es tablished by a permanent law. Tarious benefits would arise from such a law as this. It would make it the interest of property and capital to employ the people, and to make that employment repro ductive. It would force the co-operation of landlord and tens* in the same object ; it would be a present expen diture for useful purposes, but create no future burden on the country ; it would be a premium on residence, and a tax upon absestteeism; it would promote the exten sion of manufactures, as well as the improvement of agriculture ; and all these things it would do by th e strongest of all practical stimulants,—the self-interest of those who possess ed the p ower and means of employment, because the great er the number of people they employed the less wow(' be their tax. opposite effects to those I eve e toria bas d irectl y pen rture,byfurnish - lavish ex d .

I shall briefly refer to some of these measures. 1. Ample and easy powers of charging the inheritance of settled estates with money expended on every kind of permanent improvements. 2. A power of charging mortgagees, annuitants, and rentchargers with their proportion of all local taxation paid by the landowner. 3. Ample powers to sell or exchange settled property, subject to the uses of the trusts. 4, rower to the tenant to obtain value or compenea- tion for his tenant-right, arising from the expenditure ot labour and capital in improvements. Space does not permit me to refer to various other measures, of the improving and ameliorating character pointed out in the Poor Inquiry and Land Commission reports, which are entitled to the instant attention of the Legislature. If the measures of reli e f t o the landlords of Ireland . which I have referred to ab o ve, were passed, I have no doubt that the income of the country, called into acti on by a Labour Employment A c t, in conjunction with suc h public works as the Go vern ment might undertake would give ample employment to the whole population requiring it. In conclusion, my Lord, permit me to observe, that, in seeking a legislative enactment, to compel the employ ment of the people by a compulsory tax on the property of the country, lam seeking no innovation—l am asking nothing inconsistent with the practice or spirit of the British constitution. Your Lordship must know, better than I do, from the records of history, that immediately previous to the reign of Elizabeth the disorganiz ition of society, and lawless outrage, from the want of employ ment, existed in England to a far more fearful extent than at any late period of Irish history. What was dare for England to restore her to quiet? The law of the 43d of Elizabeth was enacted, which rendered the pro perty of the country directly responsible to employ or feed the people; there were no Government advances or Government loans called for or offered—the direct re sponsibility was at once imposed; and England has since reached to the highest state of good order and improve ment of any country in the world. Trusting that I may be pardoned for this intrusion, from the importance of the subjects referred to, I have the honour to remain, with the highest respect, my Lord, your obedient servant, W. SHARMAN CRAWFORD. Crawfortisburn, Ireland, ec, 7. ItEL NV. SPREAD OF DESTITUTIO N.—MORE DEATHS FROM STARVATION. DUBLIN, DEC. 12.—The reports from the country are truly appalling. From an authentic source we learn that between yesterday and this day, the trustees of the Indian Relief Fund in this city have received one hun dred and seventy letters, chiefly from Mayo, and several of them from Lord Luean's,town of Castlebar. The ac counts of the state of destit ution are utterly deplorable. A magistrate, writing from the neighboarhood of Bally castle and Doonfeeny, Mayo, states that there have been thirteen deaths from starvation within the last few days. In those one hundred and seventy letters there are accounts of forty-seven deaths from actual starvation. There are evidences of utter destitution upon all sides. The Dublin Evening Post says— _ " The workhouses all through the country, with the sole exception of Castlebar, are crowded to excess, and, in many cases, a species of out-door relief is humanely afforded by the guardians. The work house of Kilkenny, on Thursday morning, contained 1,391 inmates, upwards of a hundred more than the allotted number. In addition, 1,800 persons are daily obtaining a meal of stirabout and milk, which they eat within the house, and then go away. Our corre spondent, a gentleman of the highest character, states that he saw men, women, boys, and girls waiting in the cold and rain for that meal, with scarcely a rag to cover them. The guardians of the Kilkenny electoral division, in order to provide this meal, are incurring an additional expense of 131. 10s. per day ; they are thus taxing the town division, which already pays nearly double the rate applotted upon the rural districts of the union. The same state of things exists in various other unions. The Cashel workhouse, intended for 700, contains 873 in mates ; and in addition a pound of bread each is daily given to an average of 520 persons,: who come to the workhouse to receive relief. Is the letter of our Meath correspondent, and other communications, a statement of' destitution equally afflicting is described ,• and but for the vast amount of employment afforded by the public works, we do believe that the country, by this time, would have been one terrible scene of starvation, pestilence, and anarchy." The provincial journals supply details of the most afflicting kind. The Cork Examiner gives the following in a report of the meeting of the Skibbereen Relief Committee on Tuesday : " Doctor Donovan detailed some lamentable instances of deali and sickness from hunger, and a want of pro tection against the inclemency of the weather, and stated that he had no hesitation in saying that, before the close of the spring, half the population of this por tion of Carbery would have been swept off the earth by starvation! " While the doctor was addressing the committee, an application for a coffin, for a person who had been dead for the previous four days, was handed into the chairman. " Some of the gentlemen present remarked they were not all surprised at this, for they had known numerous instances in which dead bodies had to be kept over ground for several days for want of coffins. "To my own knowledge, the friends of •one poor creature who died from want, were obliged to bury him without a coffin. It is not an uncommon thing now in the neighbourhood of Skibbereen, Bally,lehob, Skull, Castlehaven, Castletownsend, &c., to meet ten or a dozen funerals in the day. In fact, the mortality here is greater than during the ravages of the cholera. The story is the same all through the Carberies and the barony of Bere and Bantry—starvation is everywhere. " About two months ago, John O'Connell, Esq., of Bantry, purchased 2,500 barrels of bread stuffs, which he has since retailed to the poor at cost price, but his stock is now exhausted, and the prices of provision having reached such an enormous height, I am at a loss to know what will become of the poor of that locality. " I regret to have to add that another death from starvation occurred here this morning. I suppose there will be a coroner's inquest on the body. At the hour I write the corpse lies about two miles from Skibbereen, on the Cork road. Three young children surrounded the remains of their wretched father on the spot where his strength yielded to famine, and bewail his loss with heart-piercing cries. Deceased was a stout, ably-built man, apparently about 40 years of age." The same journal contains the following : " CROOKRASEN, DEC. 9.—To add to the misery of the people, some of the landlords have already canted their cattle for rent. lam sorry to add that the Rev. J. Barrett, R.C.C., on Sunday last made a collection in the chapel to purchase a bier to take the dead bodies to the graveyard without coffins, as being hitherto tired of making collections towards buying them. As to lar ceny, there is no limit to it ; sheep, corn, or anything they can lay hands on, are carried away by the starving people." COUNTY OF CLA.IIE.--.Mr. J. 11111, of Miltown Malhay, under date Dec. 6, writes to say—" Three deaths from starvation have taken place in this village within the last ten days; one a woman of the name of Mary Flaherty, another a pour woman of the name of Ellen Doleby; she died on the side of the road between Milltown and for when they a re brou g ht into Liskehone, duri ng a d rea df u l s torm of hail.

PRODUCTIVE WORKS.—THE LAN DLORDS. There are further ev id ences to-day of the disposition of the landlord s t o a d opt pro d uc tive works and drainage. At Demifore, W estmeat h, B a ilieborough, Cavan, and Lower Kells, Meath, the circular of the C hief Secretar y has been adopted a t t h e prese ntment sessions. There are, however, exc e pti ons . In the county of Galway Lord Gort presided at a pre sentment sessions in Gort, on the 4th inst., when a reso lution was adopted to the effect that works of a repro ductive nature can alone enable the country to encounter the still greater pressure of the ensuing year, and save it from the dangers apprehended by this meeting, should the present system of road-making be continued. A peti tion, to be presented on the assembling of Parliament, was adopted, praying . that townlands may be adopted instead of electoral divisions. MPORTANT MEETING OF THE ROYAL AGRI CULTURAL SOCIETY. This day the general half-yearly meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society was held at the Society's rooms in Sackville-street ; Mr. J. L. W. Naper, V.P., in the chair. The Secretary having read the minutes of former proceedings, and the report of the council for the half year, The Duke of LEINSTER moved that the report should be received and adopted. The Earl of CLANCARTY, in seconding the adoption of the report, said he cordially responded to the opinion unan i mo usly expressed by the council, th t t one o f their fundamental rules, which had been recently rescinded, should be restored to its original integrity. It was essential to the society that the members should act in perfect harmony—(Hear, hear)—and in order to preserve that harmony which substantially existed in i the council, he acquiesced i n , rat h er th an approved of, the resolution, by which the 14th rule wo uld be restored in its original integrity. He hoped the measure of restoring that rule would have the effect of inducing Lord Downshire to return to them, ruinshexpressed society coi iset the y h of eu pp the unanimity which not and that his Noble Friend would not adhere to the °P joining a society ex cept resent.

Sir GEORGE HODSON, Bart., seconded the resolution, w hich was unanimously adopted amid loud cheers. The most perfect harmony prevailed on the subject. NEW SOCIETY OF LANDLORDS. The Eveniug Mail published the following in a second edition last night: — A most influential meeting, including men of all parties, assembled to-day (Friday), to take into consi deration the propriety of adopting some energetic step on the part of the landed interests of this country in reference to the present alarming state of affairs. The proceedings were strictly private, but we have reason to think that they will lead to combined exertions on the . P art of those wh ose interests are so dee p l y involved."

CAVAN, DEC, 11.—The Anglo Celt says:—" Our table this morning is literally covered with accounts of out rages perpetrated in this county and Meath, none of them, it is true, attended with bloodshed; but the sub-. joined catalogue is, notwithstanding, indicative of a state of society but only too likely to lead to it." (Here follows a long list of highway robberies, cattle stealing, and various other outrages.) INCREASE OF CRIME IN TYRONE.—We are sorry to remark that the fears which we formerly expressed of evil-disposed persons taking advantage of these thin s of comparative distress as a pretext for deeds of robbery and outrage, would appear to be justified even in our own county. On Tuesday last four persons were lodged in the gaol of this town, on a charge of having felo niously entered some houses in the neighbourhood of Fintona, from which they stole bread, whisky, and to bacco. On the same day nine men and women were transmitted from Dungannon bridewell to our gaol, charged with having stolen oats, turnips, yarn, and several other articles. It is feared that our calendar at next assizes will be unusually heavy.—Tyrone Con- Oitution. COUNTY OF WESTMEA.TH.—The sale of fire-arms still continues throughout the country, and as a consequence, armed parties are to be nightly met with in all directions. ATTACK ON THE DRIVER OF THE ATHLONE AND LONGFORD MAIL CAR —OH Monday night last, as the above mail car was proceeding on its route to Athlone, the driver was waylaid by a party of midnight ruffians, on the Ballymahon side of Glasson; one of the party seized the horse by the head, the remainder attacked the driver, pulled him off his seat, and beat him in a most unmerciful manner ; the horse in the meantime took flight, and gallopped at a furious pace to his stable in Athlone, a distance of seven miles from the place of attack. The object of the party was not robbery, as the man, when found lying on the road, had his watch, &c., He remains in Athlone in a very precarious state. —Westmeath Guardian.

THE LATE MURDER AT CROSSMAGLEN.—On Wednes day last, the inquest on the body of George M'Clean, who was murdered when returning from the fair of Crossmaglen, terminated, when the jury returned the following verdict ;—" That George M'Clean was mur dered on the night of the 14th inst., and that llugh Quinn and James Shoulder were accessory to his death." Quinn and Shoulder, owing to the activity of Mr. Sin gleton, R.M., and Sub-Inspector Holmes, were in custody during the inquest, and were committed to Armagh gaol immediately alter the verdict. The murder, it appears, was committed through private revenge, and had nothing whatever to do with religious or political feeling. THE WEATHER—THE MARKETS.--DDBLIN, DEC. 12.—This is, so far, the most inclement winter for several years. The London mail, due yesterday morn ing, did not come to hand until four P.M. The frost has returned with great severity. The thermometer regis tered on Thursday night eight degrees below the freez ing point. There was a slight fall of snow in the city and suburbs yesterday morning. The Dublin mountains are covered with the winter garb. The London mail arrived this morning at the usual time. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, DEC. 11.—We continue to have a small supply of grain. Wheat and barley were sold at an advance of ls. per barrel, and previous prices are maintained for oats.

The following resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the seceders from the Repeal Association, resident in Dublin, assembled at the office of the Nation, on the 11th December, James Haughton, Esq., in the chair: — Moved by Richard O'Gorman, jun., Esq.; seconded by Charles Taaffe, Esq., and adopte — l. " That we have read with satisfaction the overtures to a recon ciliation made by Mr. O'Connell, on behalf of the Repeal Association, on last Monday; and that we believe the discussion by a conference of all the points of dif ference between us and the association to be the best and most judicious course towards effecting that recon ciliation." Moved by John Mitchell, Esq.; seconded by the Rev, Mr. Mehan, and adopted-2d. "That inasmuch as all these points of difference have been repeatedly placed before, and distinctly known by the Irish people, we deem it unnecessary to reiterate them at length on this occasion." Moved by T. F. Meagher, Esq.; :econded by T. D. M'Gee, Esq. (on behalf of the committee of the Dublin Remonstrants), and adopted-3d. " That although we might insist on our evident right to nominate the per sons to represent our opinions in that conference, still, influenced by a desire of settling the real questions at issue, we are willing to waive that right, and assent to the nomination of those gentlemen already suggested by Mr. O'Connell, with one qualification." Moved by Charles Gavan Duffy, Esq, seconded by P. J. Smythe, Esq., and adopted-4th. " That inasmuch as Mr. O'Hagan has publicly signified his determination not to interfere in the settlement of any question relating to the future policy and management of the association, and inasmuch as we believe such questions to be the ma terial points at issue, we are of opinion that some gen tleman should be substituted (to be named on behalf of the seceedrs), whose political position will not prevent him from entering upon the consideration of all the matters at issue between the parties. Mr. O'Hagan to lend his assistance to the conference should any legal difficulty arise." Moved by William Bryan, Esq., Raheney, seconded by Dr. Duffy, Finglass, and adopted-sth. " That, with a view to make the reconciliation' universal and lasting, immediate steps be taken by personal communi cation, to ascertain the opinions of the seceders residing at a distance, upon the questions proper to be submitted to the proposed conference." THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER. We are happy to learn that this noble, although ill-fated ship, which our readers are aware still remains aground in Dundrum Bay, is likely to be soon rescued from her inglorious position, and set again afloat, through the instrumentality of our talented and en terprising fellow-citizen, Captain Coppin, whose former success in raising vessels under similar circumstances offers a guarantee for the successful accomplishment of the present undertaking, weighty though it be. At the time the Great Britain ran ashore, we suggested to the proper quarter that Captain Coppin's engineering capa city should be made available for her recovery, and we are happy to find that our suggestion has been acted upon. We learn, from authority, that arrangements have been entered into by the directors and underwriters for the Great Britain with Captain Coppin for the taking off of the vessel, and that preparatory operations will be commenced immediately. We have had a full de scription of the method to be adopted, and we have not the slightest doubt but that it will be completely suc cessful. When we state the fact that 460 applications from different quarters, containing as many pr. jects for the recovery of the vessel, have been laid before the di rectors, it will be seen that the preference given to the scientific skill of Captain Coppin is not a little compli mentary to that gentleman. We most heartily wish him every success.—Londonderry Standard.

There is a small town near Dugart, called Mullet; beef there is 3d. per lb.; eggs, id. each; mutton, 2id. per lb.; fine geese 10d. to Is. each; fine young fowls, from Bd. to Is. per couple; and yet with all these advantages the wretched people here are ill-fed, ill-taught, and wretchedly lodged; but who are, nevertheless, of kind dispositions, obliging, and generous.

'lF.,r this ; 'r , m announcing Ln)s If e tia 1 narkoi (I(,ekza " In the course o 3 my c:rintnunicaticra, with varion s re- speciat.te, inhabitants of Ilvadivg I have found mu c h diversit) of setaiinetit on some of the leAiwz qtp.stions of the rtay. On the subject of education, for example; some assurances of my views have been wished for. My 7 answer to that is by an inquiry, Who has done mum for - education than I have done? Or who is going on in that career with more zeal and assiduity than I have evinced or am evincing? - The same might be said on . most other subjects on which- candidatr?s are required to • declare their opinions. I will further refer only to one— the maintenance of our PenteAttnt Churei. Has any one' done more - for this object than 1 I:avc? Has any one wore resisted rash innovation t;:,an in) s(-1: ? And yet, . to my surprise, since your rcquisitiAn has been - prepar ...a..Taper has. been put fart..., an hwr.. rewired _the' stures of two hundred by if I - w-.re Lbieribe to it, I should b ineauilt , th:Jy engl.geri in, something like personal hostility with The professors of a different creed from that to which I hay(' ever shuwa the warmest attachment. The following is the paper to which I 0 Sll " • We the undersigned electors of the borough of Reading, alarmed at the countenance lately given in Parliament to the Church of Rome, especially at the endowment with the public money of places of education to promote the growth of Popery, and deeply impressed with a sense of the danger to which the Protestant Church of England and Ireland is thus exposed, feel compelled to declare that we can give no support to any candidate at the ensuing election until we shall receive the assurance that he will oppose every attempt to estab lish or endow the Church of Rome within these realms; or to grant any portion of the public funds to any insti tution for educational or other purposes unfavourable to. the Protestant faith ; and that he will use his utmost effort to preserve the United Church of England and Ire land in its integrity and efficiency.' " With reference to this paper, I may be allowed to say that I most readily pledge myself, if necessary, to all the fundamental principles of our constitution in Church and State ; and I will use my utmost endeavours to preserve the United Church of England and Ireland in its integrity and efficiency ; but to any specific mea sure on this or any other subject that may be hereafter introduced into Parliament, before I have the question argued, I will not pledge myself. " Such a proceeding is not unconstitutional, but it is irrational, and must tend to render the summoning and sittings of Parliament useless. If I could be more confirmed in this opinion than I am, it would be from what I observed in the French Chamber of Deputies during the last session. Now, though lam not apt to draw my examples from the other side of the water, but rather from the principles of the British constitution, yet I cannot but think it, worth observation that a mem ber of the French Chamber having been proved, to the satisfaction of a committee, to have promised and pledged his votes, on certain measures, before he was elected and had entered the House, he was declared in competent and unfit to nerve, and his electi on set as i de. I will, indeed, ask, if Members are to enter the Ilouse of Commons under pledges, why should they sit night after night at all ? They need only go in to give their votes, as has unhappily been too often the case, in cor rupt Committees of the House. I expressed opinions to the same effect on the hustings at Abingdon in 1832. " Having thus declared my resolution, and the grounds on which I have formed it, I leave this public declaration to have what weight it may on those to whom I respect fully address it. I cannot go into Parliament at all it I do not enter its doors unshackled. In that free condition I will do the best I can for the country at large.
