But the existence of the Church as an Zerl lB l " r e lent seemed to have been lost sight of, its utility Thsr s :„ - d• and the great subsidiaries it brought to the main 'fa 6,` of the throne and all other institutions neglected. I , i ?hlf, t cb be good for anything it should be upheld ; and i'al e , - , e Y one say that the existence of the present . Este -4410`,et was useless ? He ( Sir W. Follet) dissented tht tti 'e words and spirit of the resolutions, because he thought 'hate a s h t . l baersi ve of that principle on which our most venerated ! t otter 1 ? were founded. No one had yet maintained, on any , h e probability or t ru th, th a t Ch urc h p r operty and pri t"i, e 14" Y was to be held or maintained on different tenures. i i lai sh „ w as, that the property of the Church was basedson th e s unde r r inciple as private property. Church property was bounkcertain trusts and tor certain uses, these uses being Port and advancement of the general interest. If any - ",„ e ° 1 1ld be shown why the House ought to interfere with he r s ,,r g er tY of the Church , and why that interference would • 4 eial to thepublic interest, then indeed there would. e „ -4 'e for interference. But until that principle of the ex the NZ le of , interference were established (and he would gore 4f br ew Lord on either horn of the dilemma, of allowing Qty of instituti ng th e Commission, or when instituted, • ' le g' it to report before a motion was made) there could said tN u ihr determination entered into. The Noble Lord aa 'thl e etar gat the property of the Church was originally Catholic, oc boned to the Protestants. Now that argument could •th applied to other kinds of propety, as to the property h Ir ish Ch , 4 urch ? If the argument were good against the Nlof , urch it wag good against the English, for the same pr Z Ptir!ciple of conduct was the foundation of transfer s e dee,. r tY hi the one case as in the other. The doctrine ; it was a false one, it had no foundation in our "hk• :ental laws, and was not recognised by the practice or d f our institutions. He ( Sir W.

Now, let him suppose for a toe that h "e oR r ty it would have that effect, and that the era were to go out upon such a resolution as that h ''‘ e as"' th ore the House-1( Hear, hear , hear)—he was perfectly h Wa il a t he was holding office under the Government : but =adepthe representative in that House of a great and inde kepi he was quite sure that the opinions he had leolttsewere those of the great majority of his consti ) It was true that he had no public life to ti t ilae ht k ts u Po e n e , rs and that he . could not ask any Hon. Members t il k h "use to compare his past conduct with the support he Oh: 4441 g to the existing Government, but he might per ched ;Permitted to say, that the feeling he had always enter . - Itia 'ince the Rorm Bill first passed into a law was, that it 4t 141 1 14 zt ‘vand d t o destroyed the old party distinctions in the d that the names of Whigs and Tories had become el*e a s t " wr neaning sounds. He had always felt, and openly ➢ I ted the feeling, that while the Government of Lord t h . °lsl a '," a firm and United Government—while it commanded . tl", e4 e - i s „ - 1 in that House, and the affections of the consti e,ttsa ,It created while it was strong enough to resist the ' l 'htr y ,... lv e spirit that was aimed . at the institutions of the r oh t ,'or e .,,, ev erY well-wisher of his country, whatever party he -ot edmust be desirous to see that Government lj~Chsti with , i e ,., 10 office.

"%id be able afterwards successfully to resist. For this THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1835. reason it was that he called upon every member of that House, whatever his party or political sentiments, to pause upon the vote he was about to give. He asked the Noble Lord, even at this moment, when one at least of the institutions of the country was attacked openly by this very resolution, to for get all party differences, and consent to withdraw it.—(lro nical cheers, and a slight laugh from the Opposition.) He made this request to the Noble Lord, because he believed that the Church of. Ireland was attacked by the resolution, and because be also sincerely believed that to the maintenance of the Established Church of Great Britain, and of the other institutions of the country, they could best look for the pro tection of the liberties and religion .of the people.—( Cheers. ) Sir J. HOBH Oli SE, as soon as the noise occasioned by Members entering the House enabled him to proceed, said= I can assure the House that it is with great reluctance that I venture to trespass'upon their attention on this occasion, and that I feel far from certain that I shall be able to do so with any adequate effect, after the very able speech of the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General.—( Cheers.) I cannot help con gratulating the Government, and congratulating the House, upon his accession. I cannot help congratulating the House upon the speech they have just heard—a speech which shows that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to great forensic talents adds all that power which a man who aspires to eloquence and station ought to possess before he takes the very high de gree which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has attained. —(Cheers.) And, if I may be permitted to add one word, in this place, Sir, I must say, that the Learned Gentleman has aspired to very high ground indeed, for he has grap pled completely with this question. He alone, as far as I am able to understand, has stated most broadly, that his opinion plainly is, that if you agree to this resolution, you do in fact infringe upon all the laws, not only of public, but, by analogy, of private property ; that, in fact, you cannot touch the Church of Ireland without touching the Church of England also—without touching upon property in general ; and, by inference, if the State should think it necessary, private pro perty also. Sir, that is the assertion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ; and I must say, that I should have been better pleased with his very eloquent and able address, bad I not hap pened to hear, at the close of that address, something- some what unworthy the character and talents of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. I thought, Sir, that in the concluding part of that speech I did hear something like an attempt to ring the old alarm bell in our ears—( Tremendous cheering)— an act which by this time I should have thought too con temptible for a .man of character and talent to perform. The Learned Gentleman attempted to ring the old alarm bell—that alarm bell, Sir, which, had it frightened the man who made him, had it frightened the Right lion. Baronet the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would never have been in the position in which he now stands, or have been aLle to bring forward the high talents of his Learned Solicitor-Gene ral —(Loud cheers.) What, Sir, 'is it come to this ? Is a great debate upon a subject which has hitherto been dealt with something like a regard to reasoning, at last to dwindle into nothing but a miserable and filthy appeal to the vilest, the lowest of all human passions? Arc we to be terri fied out of what we think our duty, and to be told that be cause at the eleventh hour we at last have ventured to do justice to a great nation—not our enemy, not even our ally, but a part and parcel of this great empire—that we are to be restrained and deterred by the fear of what is almost a byword? When we at last venture to come forward and attempt the settlement of this great ques tion, can the Learned Gentleman, with all his talent and all his learning and all his resources, drawn both from law and reason, do nothing more than tell ye that ye are not to do this, for if you do you will light up the old flame in England—the old cry of the year 1807—( Great cheering)— the old cry which for so long prevented the settlement of the Catholic question—which for so long deprived men' of sense in this country of their best power of action, and conti nued to be an obstacle to the foundation not only of good go vernment, but of any government at all 7—( Renewed cheer ing.) I must venture to say that another reason com pelled me to rise, on this the only occasion of my in truding myself upon the House since I have been a mem ber of it—l mean since the commencement of the present session of Parliament—l have heard various taunts thrown out against the late Government—l mean my Lord Mel bourne's Cabinet—as if it were a Cabinet tried, found want ing, and condemned, against which the people of England had passed a verdict after a fair trial had been granted to them.—( Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman knows as well as I do, that this is a topic that cannot fairly be indulged upon—not only on this, but in any debate on any subject. He knows perfectly well, that although it may suit him in his conjectures to say that the late Cabinet were not suffi cient for the exigencies of the people of England, still they certainly—happily, perhaps, for their own fame—happily, per haps, for their future prospects of benefiting their country— were not brought to the same test as the Right Hon. Gentle man's opposite have been brought to.—( Loud cheers.) They were not brought to the same test. They did not make the same appeal to the people ; nor did that people, on an appeal being made to them, express an opinion which the Hun. and Learned Gentleman, and his Right Hon. Friends must by this time have discovered to be no trivial or unimportant one.— (,Loud cheers.) I beg leave to observe, also, let the Learned Gentleman and others say what they may, that I firmly believe that the Members of the late Cabinet meant honestly by the King and honestly by the people ; that they had nothing to fear from the Parliament ; and that, if they had met that Parliament again, they would have done their duty, not only to the country, but to the satis faction of the country.—(Loud cheers.) It is very true that they had to encounter great difficulties. They were aware of those difficulties—they knew them well— but, at any rate, even to have escaped from them, they would not have com promised any one of their opinions—(Tremendous cheering)— they would have deserted no party ; they would not have tried, by any means, justifiable or not, to catch hold of any stray votes, and waverers on this or that occasion ; and, Sir, as the best proof of this, I can only say that which is known to my late colleagues—that we were determined, had his Majesty been pleased to continue us in his service, to have come down to Parliament with a measure based on this great principle. Let the Learned Gentleman call it confiscation if he likes—l call it a measure of justice ; the country will deem it such. The Parliament will, by their vote of to-morrow, confirm it to be such, and at least justice will be done, I hope and believe, to that Cabinet and to that Government who, with motives unsullied and unquestioned, as far as I know, intended to bring forward, for the re lief of the people of Ireland, a proposition for the settlement of this great question. I certainly cannot contend with the Learned Gentleman on a point of law. I do not know that I can contend with him on any point whatever ; but he has laid down a rule from which he says it is impossible that any man of learning or reason can dissent—namely, that the property of the Church of England in England, or of the Church of England in Ireland, was originally so settled and so given, that it must be in its nature and for ever inalienable. I really thought that this question had been settled long ago ; I thought that even the pamphlet which I saw the Chancellor of the Exchequer reading just now had rendered the subject so clear that any man who was able to take part in an ordinary debate would at once say, that for any person to get up in his place now-a-days, and assert that Church property in itself was venerable, and could not be- touched, even by Act of Parliament, except by shaking the very foundations of society itself, would be an attempt to bring back—l can hardly say to bring back, for it is an opinion that has never yet been entertained to my knowledge—( Hear, hear)—but to refer to principles which, if they were carried into ge neral practical effect, would be ruinous and destructive of the advancement and progress of society.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman will excuse me for reading a most eloquent passage, from a most eloquent, though very common, and, I dare say, elementary writer? It is, of all the beautiful passages of his most beautiful work, perhaps, the most perspicuous, and as I think, decisive. Mr. Justice Blackstone, in the Bth chapter of his 4th book, has this passage :—" As in matters of faith and morality, they (meaning the Church of England, the hierarchy, and all the establishment of the Church of England) acknowledge no guide but the Scriptures, so, in matters of external polity and private right, they derive all their title from the civil Magistrate. They look up to the King as their head—to him as their lawgiver ; and they pride them selves in nothing more justly than in seeing true members of the Church—emphatically—' as by law established.' " Why, Sir, this authority shows to me clearly that the Church of England—and if the Church of England in Eng land, of course the Church of England in Ireland—also is emphatically the offspring and child of the law, and that the parent may deal with that child.—( Loud cheers from the Op position, and a cry of " Oh, oh !" from the Ministerial side of the House.) Is the Hon. Gentleman incapable of under standing a common argument ?—( Cheers.) I am not pre tending to state a fact ; I am layinc , before the House the au thority of Blackstone ; and what I mean to say is, that the natural deduction from that authority is, that the Church of England and its Establishment is the child of the law ; and that as the law has made it, so the law may deal with it.— (Cheers.) Why, Sir, can this be doubted? Has it been doubted in any civilized Christian society ? I believe not. I have read communications on the subject, and am not aware that in any country under the sun it has ever been doubted that the Church Establishment is the creation of the law.— ( Hear.) I am not speaking of the spiritual concerns of the Church, but of the temporalities; and I cannot help thinking that Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and the Learned Gen tleman more particularly, when he mixes up the temporalities of the Church so much with its spiritual concerns, ie not doing iustice to the institution. It was very well stated by the Noble Lord, the Member for Nottinghamshire, that it was I very possible that the too great prosperity of the tempo ralities of the Church may interfere with its spiritual be nefits.--(Cheers.) A great many authorities have been in the course of this debate—from Bacon, I believe, down to the pamphlet the. Right Hon. Baronet holds in his hand. I find that Bishop Watson, in a common letter dated in 1798, says—" If the tithes of that country (meaning Ireland) must still remain with the Protestant Clergy, the Catholics should be paid from the public treasury."—( Hear, hear.) He put it hypothetically-44 If the tithes." Why, Sir, I suppose he had as high a notion of the real value of the Church Establishment, and of its sacredness, as the Learned Gentleman himself, and yet in his time it was not thought sacrilege, it was not considered a profanation of the ark of God, as it were, to interfere with the tempora lities of the Church when such interference was considered necessary for the good of the State---( Cheers)—and here I must take the liberty to state that I think the real question at issue is not the distribution, nor a new mode nor a better mode 'of collecting, but that the point of improvement, if improve ment it really be, is whether or not you intend that the Ca tholics of • Ireland shall understand that they are the participa tors to a certain degree in the advantages derivable from an establishment they now consider altogether hostile to them ?- -((Cheers.) It appears to me, that so long as you leave this question unsettled, you;never.will be able, and never can hope, to reconcile the Establishment to the Catholics of Ireland. • We have heard a great many details to-night. Supposing them to be true ; supposing only that there are fourteen Ca tholics to one Protestant to be accurate—can we imagine that the' present Protestant Church Establishment will be satisfac tory to the people of Ireland ?—( Loud cheers.) I cannot imagine how the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite can reconcile it to his sense of justice; and I am quite sure, that the more this question is inquired into, the more the House of Com mons will find that there is only one way of arriving at a sa tisfactory conclusion. You have tried force in Ireland; force has failed. You have tried the law ; the law has failed. Private charity, public benevolence—all have failed. There is only one thing wanting, and that is an acknow ledgement that henceforward this enormous establishment shall be proportioned to the spiritual wants of the people ; and that if there be any surplus, that surplus shall be applied to gene ral purposes. My Right Honourable Friend, the Member for Cumberland ( Sir James Graham), said last night that larger promises bad been made and violated—that the Catholics of Ireland had said—" If you pass the Relief Bill, you shall have peace in Ireland." Now I ask my Right Hon. Friend whether because that measure has not produced all the good results which the promoters of it, and he amongst them, anticipated, he would refuse his assent to it now, supposing the question to arise over again under present circumstances ? I cannot help thinking that the tone of my Right Hon. Friend's speech of last night would have rendered it equally convincing against any reforms whatever" —( Loud and continued cheering.) He undoubtedly expressed his regret at being severed from the late Ministry, but he certainly took a very singular mode of telling us how fond he was of them.—( Cheers and laughter.) I cannot help thinking that he was pursuing much the same course as the Learned Gentleman, and that instead of treat ing the subject as if he were speakin g to rational men, he spoke as if he thought we were to be convinced by that argument, the force of which the merest tyro in reasoning readily perceives, and which refers very strongly to the palpitation of our pockets.—( Cheers and laughter.) cannot help suggesting to my Right Honourable Friend that it was in consequence of the unfortunate course he and the Noble Lord adopted, that the country is now reduced to its present condition ; and that had not my Right Hon. Friend and the Noble Lord the Member for Lancashire unfortu nately separated from Lord Grey's Government, the country would at this moment have been governed by a stable and enlightened administration. He thought, I have no doubt conscientiously, that it was necessary for him to withdraw, and the consequence is, that we are, at this very moment, governed by an Administration which—without any personal disrespectful allusion—certainly, politically speaking, has turned out wholly unequal to the task.—( Great cheering.) The Right Honourable Gentleman, the Paymaster of the Forces ( Sir Edward Knatchbull), and other Gentlemen who have spoken on the same point, had said, " If you turn out the present Government, are you provided with a substi stitute ?" Why, Sir, I really do not think that is our con cern.—( Loud cheers and laughter.) The Right Honourable Gentlemen opposite must excuse me for saying, that, consider ing the circumstances under which the late Government were turned out, they are the very last people in the world who have the most remote right to ask such a question—(Renewed cheering.) I think we might with much greater propriety ask them how they came to think they were provided with a Government—such a Government as, after an appeal to the people, could not ensure them one majority in the House of Commons—(Tremendous cheers) ? Again, considering the very easy mode in which I should suppose—judging of course from what I see—Governments are put together, if I may be allowed to form an opinion upon the subject, I should certainly say that it was no very difficult task—( Cheers and laughter). I could select out of the Honourable Members present fifteen gentlemen—fifteen I three fifteens—who (I will make no invidious comparisons) might constitute three or four Governments, any one' of which would certainly do as well as the Right Honourable Baronet's—( Loud cheers.) After a very few remarks on the speech of Sir Edward Knatchbull, the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded as follows : What the Right lion. Gentleman the Paymaster of the Forces said amounted, in fact, to this—" You are a faction— you have just been turned out of the Government, and you wish to turn us out in our turn." Why, Sir, I really do not know that we have any very great reason to be discontented with our present situation—(immense cheering)—because, in the first place, we are the Government--(renewed cheer ing, prolonged for some minutes)—though not in name, in fact. There has not been a single question yet carried against us ; not one—not a single question.--( Cheers.) [Here Lord John Russell, we believe, made some suggestion to the Right Hon. Gentleman,. who immediately resumed.] Yes, exactly. My Noble Friend reminds me that we not only carry on the Government in this House, but are the Exe cutive Government also ; at least, if we have not a po sitive, we have something like a negative vote on Go vernment appointments out .of this House--(protracted cheering.) So, Sir, setting aside the mere odd trivial, and insignificant circumstance of our not sitting on that (pointing to the Ministerial) side of the Speaker's chair, I really do not see what it is we have to quarrel with in our present situation. The air is freer here---( Great laughter)— decidedly purer ; I was accustomed to inhale it for the first f,ourteen years of any political life, and I say, most sincerely, that I prefer it most decidedly. lam not fond of dancing in chains, and I therefore say,- very - unaffectedly, that I prefer this side of the House.--( Cheers from the Opposition, "Oh 1" from the Ministerial benches.) I repeat, prefer it ; and when the Right Hon. Baronet has been there a few days longer, he will prefer it too.—( Lengthened cheering.) Why, what is there to make our present situation disagreeable ? We retired from oface, or rather, in plain terms, we were dis missed—(Laughter)—without, as I have ever yet learnt, any formal notice, without any complaint against us ; neither the King nor the country made any complaint, that I have yet heard of, against us—we sacrificed no part of our character—we made no compromise—( Cheers)--we altered no determination—we belied no principles—we did not in any way compromise our public actions; and I trust that when we did retire, or at least when we were dismissed from—( Laughter)—his Majesty's councils, we preserved that without which no man can act beneficially for his country, or honourably for himself—l mean our character.—(Loud cheers.) We preserved that integrity about us which ought to belong to the character of every public man, and with out which all talents, all experience, all station, all the smiles of a Court, all popularity, are vain and frivolous.—( Loud cheers.) I have to beg pardon of the House most sincerely for trespassing on their attention so long, or for trespassing further ; but I cannot help thinking that my Right Hon. Friend, very unintentionally I have no doubt, but certainly most grossly, misrepresented what was said by my Noble Friend with respect to the repeal of the Union. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman says that my Noble Friend advo cated the repeal of the Union, and that if the present mo tion failed, lie would become an advocate of that measure. ___(" No, no 1" from Mr. Follett) My Noble Friend said no such thing.—( Hear, hear.) What he said was, that if the Hmise granted the request uow made on behalf of the Irish people—if the House acceded to the proposition, it would cut away the ground from under the feet of those ho had hitherto advocated the repeal of the Union ; but that, if on the contrary, it did not accede to the proposition, it would st ill leave the advocates of that measure the grounds upon which they had hitherto stood; and although he himself was op posed to it, still that those who supported it would have some thing like a show of reason on their side.—( Hear, hear.) That was the sense and meaning of what my Noble Friend said, and I believe very nearly his very words.—(Hear.) But I now come back to my original cause of complaint-- namely, that the Hon. Gentleman who spoke on the other side of the question attempted to terrify the House and the country into the idea that, not only shall we not be doing an act of justice to the Irish people, but will be doing a posi tive injustice to the rest of the empire, if we accede to this preposition—( Hear, hear, hear.) And that if we lay down the principle that the funds now appropriated to .the Church shall be appropriated to purposes of utility, strictly connected with and analagous to ecclesiastical purposes, and that we may fairly give away any superfluity, we are sanctioning spoliation. I deny--as it has been denied by all those who preceded me on this side of the House—that it is spo liation—( Cheers)—and not only do I deny it, but I say that if you do not admit the principle, you are striking, and continue to strike, at the root of all society, by sanctioning the notion that you may continue to have a great state engine, main tained at a great expense, though, after an experience of three hundred years, it has been found that it does not contribute to the happiness' of the people for whose good it is intended, merely on the principle that it is inviola ble, because you choose to call it so.—( Loud cheering.) If this mode of proceeding continues, however ingenious the arguments made use of in support of it may be—even if fifty such Bills as that introduced by the Right Ho nourable Baronet be attempted, you will have to deplore another and another failure—you will have Ministry after Ministry, and unless you can come to a proper adjustment of this, as I conceive, uncontrovertible principle, you will have to lament having come to a decision in support of what I call a false consistency-4 Hear, hear)—while you refuse to listen to the suggestions of wisdom, and at the same time to accede to the feelings and opinions not only of the greater portion of the Members of this House, but of a great majority of the people of the empire.—( Loud cheers, and cries of " Adjourn.") Mr. E. L. BLILWER and Mr. GOULBURN then rose, but the SPE AKER having called upon Mr. Bulwer, that Gentleman moved the adjournment. Registration of Births, &c. (Scotland) Bill,iwas read a second time, and committed to— Steuart, R. Fazakerley, J. N. Murray, J. A. Bannerman, A. Fergus, John Oswald, J. Bownng, Dr. Forbes, W. Pringle, A. - Bruce, C. L C.

AMERICAN MORALS.—III some of the States, gentlemen and ladies seem to take leases of each other. Di vorces are alarmingly common. Whether on the g3•ounds of policy or religion, a system of legal divorces, for any cause but one, must soon excite the reprobaticn of every moral or pious citizen of the States. BLIND LEADERS.--A farmer of Sutton, North amptonshire, has the following team :—Fore horse, no eye ; shaft horse, one eye ; carter, one eye ; dog, one eye ; cat, blind ; a captain in the house, one eye; and by some " unto ward event" the Mistress has just set up a pair of black ones; and yet they are called sharp-sighted folks. EARLY TIIRUSII —Notwithstanding the particu larly boisterous state of the weather, until within the last few days, there is in the garden of Robert Southey, Esq., Kes wick, a thrush's nest, containing four eggs, upon which the parent bird was observed about a week ago, (March 21St) to have commenced the act of incubation.

The Hobart Town Courier" is a weekly print, apparently in good circulation ; and in the same town are pub lished "The Gazette," " The True Colonist," " The Tasma nian, and Austral-Asiatic Review," " The Horn Boy," " The Trumpeter-General," &c. It appears from the advertisements, that the inhabitants of Sydney and Hobart Town possess theatres, musical concerts, races, balls, and other public amusements; while coffee shops, reading rooms, and tempe rance societies also prevail. The local taxes are complained of, and the plan of selling the crown lands, and devoting the means of the colony to relieve the parishes in England by sending out their surplus pauper population, is loudly in veighed against by the colonists.--Inverness Courier.

Much to the credit of the county, there was not a single prisoner for trial. THE LAW or LIBEL—Some time in the year 1833, an article, strongly reflecting on the political conduct and professional knowledge of Mr. Dominick Ronayne, M. P., appeared in a Clonmel paper, for which Mrs. Carson, a widow, proprietress of that journal, was tried at the Spring Assizes, last year, found guilty, and damages to the amount of 1,200/. were awarded against her. Mr. R. subsequently obtained. in formation sufficient to fix the authorship of the libel on the Rev. Mr. Bell, master of the endowed school at Clonmel. Mr. Ronayne laid his damages at Five Thousand Pounds, and the case was tried at the Kilkenny Assizes on Tuesday last, by a jury who found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 100/. damages, and 6d. costs t In one case the innocent proprietor of the paper is adjudged to forfeit 1,2001., and, in the other, the real anthor of the libel is let off for 1001. SUICIDE OF MR. J. M. NEWMAN, OF NOTTING HAM.—On Sunday morning, at an early hour, a considerable excitement pervaded the town, in consequence of the body of an elderly person, dressed in black, having been found in the canal, near to the Navigation Inn, with his throat cut, and the pockets empty. Some time elapsed before the body was re. cognized to be that of Mr. John Newman, brother to Mr. Benjamin Newman, formerly a draper on the Long-row, now retired from business, and living in Devonshire. The deceased had been for many years absent from Nottingham, and only returned in December last, since which time he had lived in the town, and mixed a good deal in society, frequenting va rious harmonic meetings and musical parties, where his vocal powers and hilarity of disposition rendered him an acceptable visitor. Inquiry dissipated any suspicion of foul play, and various acts of eccentricity on his part occurred to those who knew him. An inquest was held, and a verdict of "• Tempo rary Insanity" returned. The remains were privately interred on Monday evening in Castle-gate meeting-yard.—Nntting haul Revi e w. In a case of arson on Thursday, tried at the Tip perary Assizes, the following cross-examination took place. —How many sisters have you? Witness—l'll trouble you. Sir, to know.--( Laughter.) Well then I'll tell you—you had five—now will you tell me where they went? Witness—l'll trouble you, Sir, to know.—( Laughter.) Well then I'll tell you—four of them were transported ! Witness—Ah, the book of the County Charges will tell whether or no. Where did you go yourself? Witness—l'll trouble you, Sir, to know.--- (Laughter.) Didn't you go to England ? Witness—l did. Was it to be out of the wav of the sheep ? Witness—Jill trou ble von, Sir, to know.—(Laughter.) Why did you go to England ? Witness—My Lord, to do the best I could And why did yOu come back ? Witness—My Lord, to do the best 1 could.—( Roars of laughter.) ROBERT BURNS.—I perfectly remember the first appearance of Burns in my father's iirinting-house, in 1787. at the time his poems were printing. He was dressed much in the style of a plain country man, and walked three or four times from end to end of the composing-room, cracking a long hunting-whip which he held in his hand, to the no small an noyance of the compositors and pressmen ; and, although the manuscript of his poems was then lyinr , before every compo. sitor in the house, he never once looked at what they were doing, nor asked a single question. Ile frequently repeated this odd practice during the course of printing his work, and always in the same strange and inattentive manner, to the great astonishment of the men, who were not accustomed to such whimsical behaviour. A DRAMATIC ONINIBUS.—M. Nestor Roque plane, - formerly editor of the Figaro, to whom M. Thiers granted the privilege of erecting a theatre in the Place de IA Bastilc, has given up the privilege to M. Villeneuve, a dra matic author, Joly, editor of a theatrical journal, and Henri de Tully, one of the proprietors of the Theatre Bobineau. It is said that these gentlemen intend to conduct both these thea tres with the same establishment, and that a dramatic omni bus will be engaged for the especial purpose of conveying the comedians from the Place de la Bastile to the Faubourg. St. Germain.—French Paper. MYSTERIOUS MAR R I AGE.—A correspondent says—" The lady who left her instructor's house on the even ing of the sth of larch, was most grossly deceived and im. posed upon. False names and fictitious signatures wore made use of to draw her into the snare, and she knew not till at the altar that he to whom she is irretrievably united was other than a gentleman of good connections. Then first she heard his real name, and lost her presence of mind, so as to be unable to stop thexeremony. She is now made miserable for.life."—Bris. to/ Journal.
