RICHARD GROOMBRID'-:E, PATERNOSTER-ROW ; SOLD BY SIMPKIN, :kIARSIIALL, AND CO. SOUTHEY'S EDITION OF COWPER'S WORKS. The Publishers of the above work would be quite content to wait the correction of an error, made by the Editor of the Literary Gazette, in noticing the first volume of the re-publication of Hay ley's Life, &c., by Mr. Grimshawe, until the next number ap peared, did they not perceive that Messrs. Saunders and Otley were using this error to favour their own publication in paragraphs in serted in the different daily papers. The Editor of the Literary Gazette, in his Saturday's number, expresses himself thus in his notice of Mr. Grimshawe 's republica tion:—" Let us leave it for the few examples of, the Private Cor respondence, now for the first time published." The Correspon dence, in question was printed more than ten years ago, Dr. John son, the editor, stating in his preface that all the letters were before Hayley, when he wrote the life of the poet ,but with an amiable caution, though questionable judgment, they were not printed in his series. The Literary Gazette noticed the Private Correspondence on Jan. 31, Feb. 7, and Feb. 2S, 1834. Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-row, March 10. HAMBURG, MAaczt, 1835.

It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that Mr. FIUME has postponed the motion of which he gave notice the other evening, for limiting the Supplies to three months. the question was to have come on to night ; and, in delay ng it, the Hon. Member has acted with much sagacity. To have forced it forward at so early a period might, per haps, though erroneously, have been misconstrued by the country. It might possibly have been urged that the op ponents of Ministers were unwilling to grant them, what they whimsically enough call, a fair trial, and a very plau sible Tory lamentation might have been got up in conse quence. Now, nothing of the sort can be urged against the Opposition. They arc granting Ministers the trial they demand. They are giving them rose enough to hang them selves with. Heaven forbid, tiat we, who wish to see them effectually tucked up, sho;,ad curtail their allowance of hemp! They have asked fn ; time to bring forward their measures of improvement, Let them have it. But this fair and honour able c"( l ..det, on the part of Mr. Ht 1E and his adherents, does iot suit Sir ROBERT PEEL. It deprives him of a legiti rdate grievance. His policy was to make it appear that the opposition raised to his Government was wholly factious ; hence, when he found last night that the word " faction" was o longer applicable to his opponents—that in fact he had fallen into the very trap which he had laid for others—he could not restrain his vexation. He will now be compelled not only to expedite his Ecclesiastical, Municipal, and other Re forms, but also to make them such as a Reformed House of Commons may accept, without the slightest compromise of consistency. Otherwise a vote of "No confidence," in the justice of which the people will no longer hesitate to acquiesce—seeing that it is the result, not of faction, but of experience—will at once eject him from office, and, greatly no doubt to his own satisfaction, secure him the unmolested blessings of domestic retirement. Mr. HUME'S postponement of his motion is a convincing proof that the utmost harmony exists among the Opposition Members. They may have their minor differences ; but on all important questions they are unanimous. This it is that so grievously discomfits Sir ROBERT PEEL. Fain would he have split the Reformers into a thousand petty sections, bullying the timid, flattering the vain, and hood winking the inexperienced : but he cannot separate them ; they are a combined phalanx, linked together by one com mon bond of patriotism. The absurdity and the evils of our present law of Debtor and Creditor were ably exposed by Sir JOHN CAMPBELL upon the introduction of his proposed amendments : they have been long acknowledged, but, like most perplexing corruptions, the greater the difficulty of eradicating them, the longer they are endured—the Legislature has regretted their existence, and (lone nothing to remove them. The abolition of imprisonment for debt will not only be attended with the beneficial effects, positively, as detailed by Sir JOHN, but negatively with others besides, and we will instance an illustration. The system of credit adopted by many thousands of tradesmen at the present day, is so per niciously loose, that both themselves and their customers are ultimately injured by it—the one by loss of property, the other by loss of personal liberty, and the consequent suppression of productive labour—and herein is a public loss to a certain extent involved. The public, however, suffer in another way. To cover the contingencies of fraud exorbitant pro fits are extorted from the honest, and because the trader is induced—not so much from confidence as from the chance of luck—to give reckless, or next to reckless, credit to those who demand it, the " good man" is taxed beyond fair deal ing, to make good the average of probable deficiencies. Credit is the very soul of commerce, and it is at all times dangerous to tamper with it ; judiciously allowed, the ex tension of profit is ensured, and prospective industry made valuable, by it ; on the other hand, insecurely given, no man can safely estimate his capital, distrust is generated, profit becomes doubtful, and loss, to a greater or less ex tent, all but inevitable. Now, as no honourable or right reasoning person ought to take offence at a tradesman's scrupulous enquiry into the security he could offer for ultimate payment, so neither would he withhold a reasonable corroboration of the pro mise (implied by the dealing) to discharge the debt, under any false notions of injured pride or suspected integrity ; the tradesman has a right to demand it, the customer is bound to afford it. These observations do not of course apply so much to the merchant as to the shopkeeper ; the former, by reason of his more extensive business transac tions, usually institutes a stricter and more rigorous enquiry into the " respectability" of a would-be buyer, than the latter is in the habit of doing ; and the merchant's losses, consequently, are commonly aseril)able less to the frau dulency of a debtor, than to the misfortunes consequent upon almost all commercial speculations. The neces sity, therefore, cannot be too strongly enforced upon the tradesman and shopkeeper to exact a security, positive or constructive, in return for the trust he is called upon to give, beyond the exterior of a plausible person, or a showy dwelling ; the dangerous courtesy expected from, and paid by, him, which now so generally prevails, of executing received orders without making cautious —and therefore insulting—inquiries, cannot be too soon abolished. Now the removal of his present safe guard, erroneously so supposed, the threat of prison walls, will induce these habits of greater caution in his credits ; and he will stand excused of any apparent disrespect in making more searching inquiries, under the amended law, if he• chooses to avail himself of the opportunity, and both himself and the public will be benefited thereby. Possess ing greater security, he will no longer find it necessary to make provision that the honest shall pay for the fraudulent, by the imposition of exorbitant charges, (which he thinks it now scarce disreputable to do,) and, by vending his commodities at a cheaper rate, induce a greater demand, as well as enabling others to de rive the same advantage. The indolent and the reckless, being subjected to a more inquisitorial finance examination, may thus, too, be brought to see the usefulness of well di• rected industry in their own persons, to enable them to meet the necessary test ; and the rogue will become more liable to certain detection, to the benefit of the whole community. It is to be hoped that, upon a measure so important to thQ commercial interests of society, no party feeling (high as it at present runs) or private jealousies will interfere to retard its progress, or to mar its usefulness. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of the Smithfield Market Improvement Bill last night in the House of Commons, which, after a brief discussion, was thrown out by a majority of 142 against 27. We are glad of this result, for although the Bill was, to a certain extent, beneficial, inasmuch as it proposed to enlarge the site of the present market, and thus to prevent the suffer ings now inflicted on the cattle by their being crowded to gether into too small a space, yet it did not go to the root of the evil. The public do not so much complain that the market is too small, as that its site is injurious. It is placed in the very centre of the most crowded part of the Metropolis, and twice a week subjects the street passengers, not merely in the vicinity of the market, but throughout the whole of the Metropolis, to the annoyance of being interrupted in their movements, and not unfrequently endangered in their persons, by vast droves of over-driven cattle. We say nothing of the pig hunts which are of constant occurrence in this quarter of the city, for every one knows the impracticable nature of swine-hood, and that the elopement of even one porker from his driver, is quite enough to cause a crowd, and thereby put a temporary stop to business. Now, these are nuisances that having been long and acutely felt, should at once be remedied, which can only be done by removing the Market to some such fitting spot as Islington. We men tion Islington, because a Market has in fact been already erected there, by the exertions of a humane individual, which combines the utmost attention to the comfort of the animals, and completely relieves the inhabitants of London from the dangerous nuisance to which we have alluded. As for enlarging its present site, the idea is ridiculous, more especially since if was proposed to entrust it to the super ' intendance of the Corporation, who, like all such bodies, would be sure to make it a job. In one sense, indeed, to enlarge Smithfield Market would be to increase the evil complained of, for it would have the effect of bringing more cattle to it. Those who are so strenuously contending for continuing the market where it now is, ought to recollect that, when it was first esta blished, it was, as all such places ought to be, not in the heart of the City, but in the fields. On the same principle then that the site of the Hay-Market has been changed, that is, advancement of the comfort and accommodation of the people of London, ought the nuisance of Smithfield to be abated. Among the interesting subjects discussed in the House of Commons last night, the reform of the Ecclesiastical ju risdictions is not the least important. It gives us pleasure to find that the views of the late Government have been adopted by the present Ministers, in regard to the reform of these Courts, which have long been the disgrace of the jurisprudence of England, remaining at the present time, we believe, nea'rly in the state in which they were when none but the Clergy, and not many of them, had clerkly skill sufficient for signing their own names. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a Bill, the main object of which (we must refer our readers to the debate for details,) is to do away entirely with the 300 or 400 Ecclesiastical Courts scattered throughout the country, and to establish in the Metropolis one Central Court, with more definite and effective powers, and acting on one uniform system. The Court of Delegates is also to be abolished, and its functions transferred to the Privy Council. The Learned Gentleman also ob tained leave to bring in another Bill, which, though of minor importance to that which we have mentioned, is calculated to be advantageous to the discipline of the Church. This Bill proposes a remedy for the delay inefficacy, and expense attending the prosecution of cases, of discipline, by giving the Bishops a more summary juris diction in such cases, than the ecclesiastical courts at present possess. • The Army Estimates for the year ending 31st March 1836, are printed. On comparing them with those of the year which is about to terminate, we find no difference in the number of the effective force, and only a saving of 13,583/. in the cost of the effective service. There is, however, a diminution of 1,990 individuals, and a conse quent saving of 35,4391. in the non-effective service. The total number of men (exclusive of India) in the Estimates for the year ending 31st March, 1835, was 81,268, and the number stated in the Estimates for the following year is 81,271. The expense of the effective force for the first of those two years was 3,358,486/., and that of the non-effective 2,589,369/. The present estimates amount to 3,344,903/. for the effective service, and to '2,553,930/. for the non-effec tive. We wish that we could give Ministers the same credit, as respects these estimates, as that to which the re duction in the present Navy Estimates has entitled them. But in the Asmy Estimates we find that the effective force • • , • - )0 64 • • VIIt ..nn+ THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1835. has undergone no reduction, and the diminution of 35,4391 in the cost of the non-effective service is, we believe, solely to be attributed to the death of half-pay officers and other annuitants in that department, and to the practical opera tion of the system established by former Ministers. We do sincerely believe that, in the present peaceable state of the whole civilized world, our military force might be reduced by at least 10,000 men, with perfect safety to the Kingdom, whether at home or abroad. We must ever be a maritime power ; and it is, therefore, to our Navy, and not to a large standing Army, that Britain must look for protection and security. The Paris Papers of Wednesday announce that a meet ing of the Deputies, to the number of three hundred, took place on Tuesday in the Salle des Conferences near the Cham ber, in accordance with the notice to that effect, of which a copy will be found in The Sun of yesterday. The object of the meeting was to come to some fixed conclusion with respect to the conduct which the Chamber of Deputies ought to pursue in the event of the Ministerial arangements being delayed any longer. Notwithstanding so large an assemblage of Deputies, the results were singularly unim portant. The Members dispersed in groups formed them selves into little coteries, so that the Conference Cham- ber appeared a second Babel, from the confusion of tongues that prevailed. The most influential Mem bers of the late Cabinet were present, and among them M. THIERS, who collected a crowd around him. In the midst of the bustle he received a message from the KING to repair instantly to the Tuilleries, which he obeyed, leaving his friends in amazement as to the cause of this unexpected summons. 'After much prolonged dis cussion, it was generally agreed that the Deputies should present an Address to the KING on the subject of the Ministerial arrangement, and as a preliminary step that the motion of which notice had been given, calling upon the late Ministers for explanations, should be renewed. At the same time that the meeting of the Depu ties was held at the Salle des Conferences, a similar meeting was held at the House of M. FULCHERON for nearly the same purpose. Many De puties attended both, going to, and returning from, the one and the other, so as to take a part in the discussions in each of the assemblies. It is reported that the KING was seriously alarmed ; and in the first moments of trepidation, resolved to form a Cabinet on any conditions which the Members might think proper to propose. But this design was abandoned the instant he was informed of the way in which the Deputies conducted their deliberations. He was under no apprehension from the energy of men who dis cussed in groups a great Constitutional question. He, however, dreads the idea of an Address on the sub ject of Ministerial appointments, because he knows well that it will be impossible for him to continue to conceal, under the formalities of rank, the fear. ful fact that the refusal of honourable men to join the Cabinet, arises from his own assumption of the powers, for the exercise of which Ministers only can be held respon• sible. He knows that he might appoint whom he pleased-to the Presidency of the Council—that SOULT, GERARD, SE BASTIAN!, the Duke de BROGLIE, M. DUPIN, and twenty others, are all ready to accept the Presidency of the Coun cil, provided his MAJESTY will permit them to exercise the duties of their office, without dictation, interference, or undue assumption on his part. This he is well aware of ; and as the conduct deprecated by these men is a gross violation of the Charter, he, naturally enough, dreads the danger which he might incur, by being called upon to state the real cause of the dis union which prevails in his councils. The fact is, that Louis PHILIPPE desires, if possible, to set aside the Char ters of 1814 and 1830. He wants to become an Absolute Monarch—to have a Cabinet as complaisant as a Turkish Vizier, who is always most happy to have his head severed from his shoulders, not only for his own faults, but those of his Sublimity, the Shadow of the Prophet. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednes day, M. DE SADE ascended the Tribune, and addressed the President at considerable length, on the strange position in which the Deputies and the country were placed, with respect to the length of time they were without a regularly responsible Ministry. He contended that it was not con sistent with the honour and dignity of the Chamber to be kept longer in ignorance on the subject, and that the late Ministers were bound, in hOnour and justice, to inform the Chamber why the late Cabinet had been dissolved, without any cause having been assigned ? what had been done to wards the construction of another Cabinet ? and at what time might the Chamber expect that the new arrangements would be completed ?—He went on to state, that although the dismissal of his . Ministers was one of the Royal prerogatives, yet the KING was morally bound to employ it with the greatest caution—that the Sovereign of France must not use it capriciously as if he were an absolute Monarch—and that whatever the KING might affect, the direction of the national interests must and ought to emanate from the Tribune, from which lie ad dressed the House. This speech created a powerful sensa tion in the Chamber ; particularly when M. de SADE asked the Deputies if they and France were to be afflicted for ever with the cabals and intrigues of .the Court ? MM. THIERS and GUIZOT both followed, each declaring that he was ready to give the Chamber every satisfaction on the questions alluded to, as soon as the arrangements then pending were concluded ; stating, that until that event took place, it would be a breach of trust to offer any explanation which would satisfy the Chamber. The debate was adjourned sine die. The KING was excessively annoyed when informed of the independent tone adopted by the Deputies in their discussion. The Impartial, however, states that his MAJESTY had prepared himself against the worst, by the appointment of a Cabinet on Tues day, at midnight. The following is a list of the appointments, but as no announcement has yet ap peared in the. Moniteur, we cannot vouch for the au thenticity of one of them. Indeed, our own opinion is, that the whole statement will turn out to be materially in correct : M. de Broglie, Foreign Affairs and President of the Council. M. Guizot, the Interior. M. Duchatel, Finance. M. Duvergier L'Hauranne, Commerce. M. Remusat, Public Instruction. M. Dumon, Justice. General Schneider, War. M. Duperre, the Marine. It was not yet known whether the Ordinances should be published in the Moniteur-this was the only point which was not settled. After what has taken place, it will he impossible for the KING to delay much longer the construction of the Cabi net. The preservation of his Crown imperatively demands the immediate settlement of this question. France is be ginning to get tired of Court intrigue, and her deputies will no longer suffer the indulgence of Royal caprice, at the ex pense of popular interests. FRENCH FUN OS -rAkIS t ritutcn 11.

Brussels and German papers have been received. The Courrier Beige states, that the cotton manufacturers have appointed a Committee of six of the most intelligent mem bers of their body, to assist the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies in fixing regulations for carrying on the cotton trade. The Allgenzeine Zeitung contains a long and affect ing article on the death of the Emperor FRANCIS, and further states that no changes will be made in any of the higher departments of the State. Whether the past gene ral policy of the Empire will be departed from, is a question not so easily answered. The Journal above mentioned thus speaks of the last moments of the late Emperor of AUSTRIA : _ . " About midnight, his Majesty expressed a wish again to see his children and his brothers. They were immediately called, and the dying Monarch having given them his blessing, raised his hands towards Heaven, and said, with an impressive voice, ' I conjure you my beloved, who here see me dying, remember this moment; be pious and united together, and Heaven will bless you.' After these words, which were spoken with great exertion, the Emperor became extremely faint, and those about him withdrew. A few minutes afterwards, when he had recovered a Effie, he desired to speak to the Archduke Palatine of Hungary. He conversed with him about ten minutes, which seemed to be granted to him, that he might impress en the heart of the Archduke the welfare of Hun gary. The last struggle scon followed, and the doors of the Chamber were thrown open, to make the whole Court witnesses , according to ancient usage, of the death of the Monarch." The writer further adds ;—" The Imperial Family is deeply afflicted by the loss it has sustained, and the whole city is filled with mourning." We regret being obliged to state, that the German Papers hold out no hope of an amicable adjustment of the differences between the Imperial Court and the Diet of Switzerland. The Grand Duke of BADEN and the King of WURTENBEItG have already given symptoms of com mencing hostilities, by'establishing a Cordon of troops on the Swiss frontier, under various silly pretexts, and all the otherlittle Despots are preparing to followtheir example. A War is wanted to cleanse the Aristocratic kennels of Ger- many. We have received Newfoundland and Prince Edward's Island Papers, the former to the 2d of February, and the latter to the 28th of January, both inclusive. They refer chiefly to the proceedings of the Colonial legislatures ; but except that they bear testimony to the readiness with which supplies have been voted, their contents are unim portant. The determination lately expressed by the Ministers to continue and even to increase the grant for promoting na tional education in Ireland, has kindled the wrath of those purblind bigots who regard peace and mercy as matters of very trifling importance, and rather partaking of the nature of sin, if not accompanied with a holy abomination of heresy. The Honourable Member who plays the part of NOSE in the Orange Company, and who, to do him jus tice, seems to possess the olfactory nerve in as great abundance and perfection as the slot hounds for which his country was in former times so famous, moved last night for a list of all such books as are distributed or used under the direction of the Board, with the full titles thereof ; and a list of the schools in which the whole or any of such books are used as class books ; also, returns of the number of Roman Catholic children ; of children of the Church of England and Ireland, and of Protestant children of other denominations, in each of the schools under the superintendence of the Board. The object of this motion cannot be mistaken ; it is to give effect to the cry of " No Popery ;" but we are sure it is most mischievous, and we hope it will not succeed. No policy, in our opinion ; can be more hurtful or more infatuated than that which would either keep up the old, or create new sources of animosity, between the Catholics and the Protestants in Ireland. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the House of Lords last night, on the motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the East India Bill was read a second time ; and the Chester Criminals' Execution Bill went through a Committee. In the Lower House, one of the petitions against the return of the Members for Dublin, was discharged, as the ne cessary recognizances had not been entered into. The motion for the second reading of the Smithfield Market Improvement Bill was thrown out, by a majority of 142 against 27. Mr. HumE postponed the motion of which he had given notice for this evening, to limit the supply on the Navy Estimates to the space of three months. In reply to a question from Sir R. PEEL, the lion. Member declined to state when he, or any other Member, should bring forward a motion expressive of a want of confidence in Ministers. Mr. R. STEwnwr asked (and obtained)leave to bring in a Bill to establish a uniform system of registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Scot land. In consequence of a motion made by Mr. DoßßlN,re specting certain Orange disturbances in Armagh, an animated discussion took place, which ended in the Hon. Member's motion for a copy of the proceedings being agreed to. The ATTORNEY-.GENERAL obtained permission to bring in a Bill, founded on the Report of the Ecclesiastical Com missioners, for improving the administration of justice in ecclesiastical causes. A very interesting debate ensued, in which Sir R. PEEL, Mr. HumE, Mr. O'CONNELL, and Dr. NicitoLL bore a part. The House adjourned at twelve o'clock. Lord Suffield, who is an excellent Reformer, has lately visited his seat at Middleton, near Manchester, at which place there was an adult school maintained by subscriptions, until the late dispute respecting the Church rate, when the Minister who was the head teacher, was obliged to give up, because the staunch pillars of the Church said, they would not support it on account of the opposers of Church rates attend ing the school. Lord Suffield, on hearing the facts, has un dertaken to pay the expellees himself, and the school is to commence again immediately. His other beneficent and use ful donations are liberal.—Halifax Express. THE WEATHER.—'We scarcely ever recollect, (says the Whitehaven Herald) such a continuance of severe weather as there has been for the last three weeks. Almost every day has been marked by the violence of the elements, and yesterday the atmosphere was, from a very early hour, darkened by the heaviest fall of snow which we have experi enced this winter. We stated in our last, that a very large fleet had put to sea on Sunday week, and that a violent storm, which raged when we went to press, occasioned serious appre hensions to be felt relative to them. We are happy to add that they are all now accounted for with the exception of the Isabella, Malkinson ; and though not yet accounted for, there is every reason to hope that she is in a place of safety. A few vessels got safely through to Dublin—the largest part put back, and the remainder found shelter else where. The details will be found in our shipping lists. A few minor accidents, such as splitting of sails, and carrying away booms and yards, occurred, but we are happy to add that no instance of loss of life or serious injury has come to our knowledge, and in so far the shipping of this port has been for tunate beyond all e xpectation.—Since writing the above, we have heard that the Ocean, of Bangor, and the Nancy, of Har rington, which sailed also on Sunday, are not yet heard of, but there is no particular reason for thinking that any disaster has occurred. We fear we must add to the catalogue of disasters, resulting from the terrific gale of yesterday fortnight, the loss of the Elizabeth, of Malahide. No tidings have been received of this vessel or her crew, and there is great reason to dread that all have perished. THE LATE HIGH WINDS—TWO HOUSES BLOWN DOWN.—About two o'clock last Saturday afternoon, the neighbourhood of Hammersmith turnpike was much alarmed by the fall of two houses, Nos. 1 and 2, Brunswick place, on the southern side of the high western road, close to the turnpike. It appears that the wind, which was at the time blowing a complete hurricane from the south-west, blew down a large stack of chimneys belonging to the two houses, at the same time lifting off a portion of the roofs, which, with the front walls, were blown into the middle of the road, and the chimneys, in their descent, carried with them the whole of the floors down to the shops. The houses were in the occupation of Mr. Bailey, an ironmon ger and locksmith, and of Mr. Ryland, a chandler. At first considerable fears were entertained that the inmates were buried in the ruins, and a number of persons volun teered their services to dig them out, but it was soon as certained they had providentially sustained no injury, with the exception of Mr. Bailey, one of whose legs was much hurt in making his escape. A female, residing at No. 2, in her fright, let fall an infant from her arms, which was found in the ruins unhurt. We are sorry to say some un feeling wretch took advantage of the confusion, and stole a watch and other articles belonging to Mr. Bailey, with which, although pursued, he succeeded in effecting his escape. There is nothing more odious than fruitless old age. Now, (for that no tree bears fruit in autumn, unless it blos soms in the spring,) to the end that my age may be profitable, and laden with fruit, I will endeavour, that my youth may be studious, and flowered with the blossoms of learning and ob servation. —Bishop Hall.

The musket was hidden by him after the de feat of General Gates, being too cumbrous to carry. The barrel was eaten through the centre by rust, and notwithstand ing its long burial in a damp soil, yet the powder with which it was loaded, exploded by application of fire.—American Paper.

DUBLIN. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Some of the London papers, in mentioning the arriva l Of the Primate of Ireland for the season at his mansion in Charles street, St. James's, add that " his presence is considered l n i n dispensable, in consequence of the approaching discussions., Parliament on the subject of the Irish Church." Nob°l who is acquainted with the impartial and disinterested ad ze f nistration of his high office by the Archbishop of Armag" can call his zeal for the prosperity of the Church in questioT h° But it is a zeal not always tempered with prude nce ; and .t presence in London last year, when he interfered with effer to procure the defeat of the Tithe Bill in the House of ores'was positively disastrous. He did more harm to the Establish merit on that occasion, than all the zeal and all the wisdonl is master of can ever be sufficient to repair. To be sur e, the _ time has not yet arrived for him to repent of the advi ce then gave ; it is rather to be supposed that he still appla" himself for it; for the rejection of the Irish Tithe Bill the immediate precursor, if not an integral part, of the intrigue by which the overthrow of the late Governmen t was aceonv plished. His Grace, however, may live to rue the day will he caused the failure of that Bill. This , at l e ast, is 'tern probable than the hope that he or any other man living see a measure passed, better calculated than that was to gco security to the Church and contentment to the country. may live to acknowledge that his presence in London duriag the last Session might have been dispensed with, to the great benefit of his country. What results may flow fro° !, attendance upon the discussions now about to take placef_le only a matter of speculation. Perhaps lie may prove tne`to pliant to the plastic hand of Sir Robert Peel tha n be If founin th d e ays of Whiggery. Ac ase in which his Grace's influence might be very usef"l.4l interposed in Ireland, for the interest of the Protestant re!' gion, has given scandal to persons who believe that those la terests comprise objects of much higher value than the W C f and inalienable right of Tithes. At Portlaw, in the c ounty ° Waterford, a village on the estate of the Marquis of Wa ter : ford, the Messrs. Malcolmson have erected a large factrs, which gives constant and remunerative employmen t ' to ill; dreds of the lower classes of the population. Yet , incredibbis as it will seem to an English reader, the landlord and ,01 o f agent look upon the establishment of this prosperous eftb`:, productive industry with a most unfavourable eye. It has been intimated by authority to the chief proprieto r, that r, factory is the greatest nuisance in the neighbourhoo d of Cut, raghmore ; and, stranger than all, this nuisance, so o ffensiv e ,4 • the House of Beresford, consists in an augmentat ion of P.A Protestant population to the amount of three hundred twoi eighty souls ! Protestants to that number, of a peace able a l ., industrious character, have been located by Mr. Ina colmson in Portlaw ; but so little sympathy do they fe e in the family which pretends to be the head and sn" io of Conservatism, that they are even debarred, through, churlishness, •f an opportunity of attending the public 7 1 ; i ship of the church. The parish church is situate ab out al° across the fields from the village of Portland ; and until latelltds free passage was permitted to pedestrians through the grl o t of Lord Waterford, that they might resort to it. But so privilege has been withdrawn since the nuisance bectiole4.. greatly multiplied, under the fostering auspices of Mr. I" to colmson. The Protestants of Portlaw have been forbid go by the short way to church. A similar interdict was ISied to the Roman Catholics, whose place of worship is approac io • by the same path, but they disregard it ; and every Stinutol,,, the singular spectacle is presented, of Catholics making t o sans ceremonie, of an accommodation which the Prote' t .. n e t at have been prohibited from using, and which they a re too Pl-pcs or too orderly to take without permission. The conse(l"egy is, that the church is comparatively deserted—the congl„ a tion, which might consist of three hundred persons, seldon i 15 4 ceeding forty ; and Mr. Malcolmson is about to erect a chaPege his factory, and allow a salary out of his own pocket to t o thodist preacher to officiate in it. I know not whetbello case has been represented to the PRIMATE. He is n,ot,ariess to hear much about such matters at his residence in t. , " e re. street, unless these lines should happen to meet his eY e , tb° But the public, which is aware that Lord Waterfov u ' et tsr PRIMATE'S nephew, would doubtless consider his Grace b..org, employed in guarding against the progress of dissent a t of t as law, than in concocting an opposition to the settlement ° Tithe question, in the courtly precincts of St. James's. the The Governorships of Guernsey, vacant bY,.esat death of General Sir William Keppel ; Charlemont, by by the death of General Sir John Doyle ; Portland, /a c t., tba the death of John Penn, Esq. ; Portsmouth, vacant oi an death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester' veil Limerick, vacant by the death of General Knollys , al° all abolished.
