REMARKABLE.—" John Park, a seaman," says Sir Jolin Ross, " being asked by me, What was the most remarkable event in his life ?' he answered, that he had shaved the Duke of Devonshire in a gale on board the Glasgow.' I then asked, Were you.not on board her at the battle of Navarino ?' He replied, ' Oh yes, but that was nothing.' " IRON RAILWAYS ON A NEW PRINCIPLE.— As the attention of the industrious classes has for a long time past been occupitd, and not without just cause, with railway improvements, a new system is about to be intro duced by M. Marchal, a clock-maker residing at Brus sels, for which the 'Government have granted him a patent for ten years ; and this novel discovery will engage the attention of ,the ingenious part of the community no less than that now in operation. The author of the said im proOment has, given it the name of "The Moving Iron Railway," a name which will not be inappropriate, since the road accompanies the vehicle by which it is borne. The system is equally applicable to public and private con veyances ; in a word, to all kinds of vehicles, from the dog-cart to the diligence. The carriages to which this in vention shall be applied will travel as they do on ordinary occasions upon the common road. They will traverse the streets, and be capable of being put in motion by all sorts of conductors. In fact, our . heavy coaches and our dili gences, with their complicated harness, expensive alike in the manufacture and the use, are about entirely to dis appear, to be superseded by carriages of the new construc tion by M. Marchal, a contrivance,.which cannot be too highly eulogised, since every one will now - be able to have his railway—the gentleman in his elegant chariot, and the tradesman also in his unassuming gig —Journal du Com merce of Antwerp. _ - , Their M a je s ti es d r ove out this afternoon, shortly after Lti4clie on , on the Shoreham road.

DUBLIN THEATRE, ABBEY-STREET.—Monday night, tcwardAhe end of the performance, a specimen of matchless ruffianism was exhibited by a scoundrel in the gallery, who flung a large bottle with all his force into the front part of thacrowded.pit. The deadly missile came in contact with a gentleman's hat, and but for the intervention of it, would Undoubtedly have inflicted a serious wound. As it was, the sole effect which the murderous attempt pro duced was momentary consternation, and the subsequent outburst of &justly indignant spirit from the entire audience. The ferment subsided instantaneously upon Mr. Gray. making his appearance on the stage, and informing the house that the proprietor of the theatre offered a reward of five pounds to the . individual who would disclose the cul prit's name. Thunders of applause followed the liberal announcement, and in a few seconds after police officer Gorman discovered the .offender, when he was instantly dragged off to Tucker's-row watch-house.—Dublin Paper.

EDUCATION IN FRANCE.—In 1820 the number scholars in France was to that of the inhabitants as 1 is to 2'es7 ; in 1829, as 1 is to 23 2-Sds ; in 1832, as 1 is to 16 4 and in 1834, as lis to 14i. But the mass of the l'°Pulation, deducting children under two years of age, ll'hich is as yet totally Void of instruction, amounts, it is s upposed, to upwards of nineteen million individuals, or 63 o ut o f 100-3-4 t h s o f th e p o p u l a ti on . It i s calculated, Ilia to make education general in France, it would re quire 169,000 establishments of public instruction. At t'esent there are but 34,000 ; therefore there is an enormous deficiency of 134,000 schools to be founded.— Pans Advertiser. Vernon, and Lord Crewe.

He was appointed Major in the 85th Foot, in August, 1799 ; Lieut.-Colonel in the army in November, 1794 ; Lieut.- Colonel in the 12Gth Foot, receiving half-pay, July, 1795 ; Colonel in the army, the Ist of January, 1801 ; Major- General, April, 1808 ; and Lieut.-General, the 4th of June, 1813. SACRlLEGE.—lnformation was on Wednesday re ceived at the police-offices that the parish church of Eye, in Suffolk, was broken into on Sunday night, and robbed. The sacrilegious thieves carried off ten yardS of crimson silk velvet from the Communion table, and ten yards of gold lace belonging to the same, five yards ofrvelvet from the pulpit, two gold tassels, and ten yards of gold lace from the velvet cushion.. The Churchwardens have offered a re ward of 201. for the discovery of the thieves. PRESBYTERY OF GREENOCK.—A very long dis cussion took place on Wednesday. It may be recollected that at the October meeting of Presbytery, a .memorial embracing a plan for building a new church for the West Parish of Greenock was debated at great length, and ul timately rejected by a majority, who disapproved both of the plan of raisin; the money and of the site proposed for the building. Shortly afterwards, the Scottish Guardian contained a letter signed " John Knox," animadverting in severe terms upon the discussion of the Presbytery, and report having stated its author to be one of the members, the matter was brought up at the last sederunt.

CONVERTING OF THE JEW S .—It is a very com tann opinion that when the Jews are converted, the Mille- Ili um will commence, and the world hasten rapidly to a close. it would appear, was the impression of an old lady in t ile City, when findinm fault with her daughter for attending a ineeting lately held there in behalf of the Society for pro 'Voting Christianity among the Jews. " What is this you have been about now ?" said she. " Converting the Jews ! a fine story, indeed ! IF you go on at this rate, the world Will be at an end before we know where we are." The 6bjection is somewhat singular, but appears not to be con fined to the Old Lady in the , City..

ATROCIOUS MURDER.-On Saturday night last, three men (savages we should have said) entered the bed room, through the window, of Robert Downing, of Wood house, adjacent to the barracks of Ballinmult, county Wa terford, and but a few miles from this town, and murdered him in a most ferocious manner.—Clonnzel Advertiser. ELOPEMENT.—On Wednesday last, Miss Emma Chandler, eldest daughter of Mrs. Chandler, of the North street Brewery, eloped with Mr. George Cheesman, jun., son of the respectable builder of Kensington-place. The young couple, who were accompanied in their flight to Gretna by Mr. Cheesman's aunt, reached their destination on Friday, about four o'clock in the afternoon, and were immediately married. On Monday the happy pair had reached London on their return, where, we presume, they will spend the first few days of the honeymoon.—Brighton Guardian. Some verses on O'Connell in the Times conclude with the following lines, which, without much straining, may be construed into a threat of assassination : " Take heed ! be still thy crouching country's curse, But, once on English soil, thou demagogue beware !" —Christian Advocatt;. GRAND STATUE TO KING WILLIAM THE FouitTH.—The bill on the top of Greenwich Park, in a direst line with the centre of Greenwich Hospital, is sug gested as an admirable site for a pillar and statue to be erected to his most Gracious Majesty King William the Fourth. It should be built upon a scale of height and grandeur not surpassed by any thing of the kind in Europe. To the Nobility and Gentry, to the Clergy, to the Officers of the Navy in particular, as well as to those of the Army, to the merchants, the seamen, and, in short, to all classes of his Majesty's subjects in this highly favoured and great commercial country, it cannot fail to be an object of interest and gratification to see such a monument of loyalty and affection raised to their beloved Sovereign, who was himself brought up in the Naval service, and who, after having THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 18:)',5. passed through all the grade; of that service, filled the im portant office of Lord High Admiral, before ascending the Throne. For the erection of such a monument of attach ment to a good and Naval King of this great maritime coun try, no situation can be so appropriate as Greenwich Park ; where the statue, facing the River Thames (that general conflux for the ships and Merchandise of the whole world), surveying, as it were, the Royal Arsenal, dock-yards, and other establishments on its banks, and directing a hand to Greenwich Hospital and its schOol ; the former, that Royal retreat and resting-place for those brave and fearless men by whose valour Great Britain's glorious King reigns also the undisputed and envied Sovereign of the sea ; the latter, where the sons of Naval officers, and of seamen and ma rines, are gratuitously educated and carefully instructed, to support the high character of British officers and seamen, and maintain that dominion over the ocean which their forefathers so bravely won. Longitude might be henceforth reckoned from King William the Fourth's pillar, which will, of course, be perpetuated to the end of time. It will be seen from the metropolis, many miles down the river, from the high road to Dover, and from a vast extent of country all round ; and will become far more celebrated than Pompey'l Pillar, or Cleopatra's Needle.—Hampshire Ad vertiser.. THE CELEBRATED SANCY DIAMOND. . -Ham- BURGH, DEC. 2.—lt is a known fact that the' Grand Veneur of the Emperor of Russia has bought the famous diamond, known by the name of " Sancy," for the sum of 500,000 roubles, and that the merchant, Jean Friedlien, has been the Duchess of B—'s agent in this affair. The history of this precious stone is not generally known. The diamond origi nally came from India, and has remained in Europe for the .last four centuries. The Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, was its first owner, and he wore it on his helmet at the battle of Nancy, in which he lost his life. A Swiss sol dier found it, and sold it to a priest for a florin. In 1489 it came into the possession of the King of Portugal, who,. being in want of money, sold it to a French Gentleman for 100,000 francs. Nicholas Harley Sancy, who gave it his name ;had it afterwards by succession. At the time of his embassy at Soleure, Henry the Third enjoined him to send him the diamond in order to pledge it ; the servant that had been entrusted with it having been attacked by robbers swallowed it, and was murdered. Sancy ordered the corpse to be opened, and the diamond was found in the stomach. James the Second of England possessed this diamond in 1688, when _he came to France ; and it came afterwards into the possession of Louis XIV., and Louis XV. wore it in his crown at his coronation. The diamond has the shape of a pear ; it is of the most beautiful water, and weighs 533- carats. It is surely worth more than half a million of roubles. - THE COURT JOURNAL.—The late Numbers of this po'pular oracle of the fashionable world, have created more than usual attention from the variety, wit, and hu mour of their contents.

Hedley, Newcastle-upon-Tyne." THE IRISH CLERGY.—Yesterday a meeting of inhabitants of St. Saviour's parish, Southwark, was held in the Ladye Chapel, for the purpose - of devising means of adding to the fund now raising in that parish for the relief of the suffering Irish Clergy. A list of the subscriptions already received, amounting to 2001. was read to the meet ing, and a resolution was agreed upon, nominating several respectable parishioners to wait upon their fellow rate payers, and solicit further charitable donations. The death of Rear-Admiral Joshua Sydney Horton, who died at Boulogne-sur-Mer on the 24th ult.., aged 67 years, makes the twelfth Admiral of various ranks (viz., six Admirals, two Vice-Admirals, and four Rear-Admirals, in cluding three from the retired list) who hare died since the Ist of January of the present year, besides twenty Post- Captains. EXTRAORDINARY DELUSlON.—Yesterday morn ing a Mr, Edward Sykes,--n .gentlernan.,..-agad '0,2-yaars, 1'Q...- siding in Bath-street, City-road, in a moment of temporary derangement, made a desperate attempt to destroy himself by jumping head foremost into a water-butt which was between six and seven feet deep. It appears that this poor deluded creature formerly belonged to a body calling themselves the " Amicable Christian Society," and punc tually attended their meetings. It should seem that a be lief in a devil is a main feature of their creed ; and ac cordingly Mr. Sykes's nervous system was so worked upon, that when alone he declared he had repeated visits from Beizebub, who, he says, mounts his bed-stead, sits upon his stomach, and breathes down his throat with such vio lence as frequently to deprive him of breath. Despair has long taken possession of the unfortunate gentleman, in a fit of which, it is supposed, he made the attempt to de stroy himself, but was prevented by an inmate -of the house observing from the window of thefirst floor his legs protruding from the top of the water. FROME, DEC. B.—A most distressing case of sud den death occurred here on Friday evening ; Mr. Elisha Robins, a respectable baker, retired to bed between eight and nine, apparently in good health, but in a few minutes after, to the great alarm of his wife, came down stairs in his shirt, the blood streaming from his mouth in consequence of the rupture of a blood-vessel, and on her placing him in chair, he expired before medical aid could be procured. SINGULAR IMPORTATION.—The Sarah Maria, 3ootb, arrived here on Monday, from St. John's, Newfound and, brought over five convicts sentenced to seven years' transportation (to this country !), for robbery.--Waterford Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM Rannonn.—Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, the Workmen employed in excavating the tunnel of the London and Birmingham Railroad, at the shaft No. 4, on the north side of Primrose-hill, were thrown into a state of great consternation by the sudden falling in of a cleft or slip of earth, which occasioned the following melancholy accident. It appears that, in order to effect the earliest possible completion of the work, it is being carried on with out intermission both day and night, and yesterday morn ing, at the hour mentioned, the night gang at the shaft No. 4 were about returning from the work at what they call their dinner bour, when one of the inspectors, whose duty it is to cautiously watch any indication of a fall of the earth, heard a peculiar cracking of the soil, which is known to immediately precede its giving way, and instantly gave the signal for the workmen to withdraw out of the way of danger. They promptly obeyed, with the exception of one of the miners named John Hodgson, aged 35 years, who hesitated for a second or two in arranging some of his work opposite to a mass of earth he had been undermining, and was about to fall, when the slip came down with a tremen dous crash, and buried the unfortunate than under its frag ments. The quantity of earth that fell in was about two tons. The workmen in the shaft instantly exerted them• selves as much as possible to extricate the poor fellow, and in a very short time they succeeded in getting him Out ; he was; however, in a dreadfully injured state, for,.in addition to being very severely crushed and bruised, the bone o f his right thigh had been broken with such violence that the fractured portions protruded through the flesh, causing a most extensive and frightful wound : he was with as little delay as possible placed on a litter and conveyed bleeding profusely and in a state of extreme suffering to the North London Hospital, in Upper Gower-street, Bedford-square, where every assistance requisite was promptly afforded him. He retains in a very precarious state, and it is much feared that amputation of the limb will become indispensable. The unfortunate man, who resided in High-street, Camden town, has a wife and large family dependent on his labour for support. On Wednesday morning, as a labouring man . was going to his work, in passing some fields at Nunhead, near Peckham, he saw the body of a well-dressed man lying in a ditch a considerable distance from the road. The deceased was lying flat on his back in the ditch, with all his clothes on, and there was no appearance at the time that .his death was occasioned by drowning or suffocation, there being-a very small portion of eitllpr water. or mud in the place where he was found. The man immediately gave informa tion at the police station, and Inspector Walters despatched two policemen to the spot, by whom the deceased was con •cyed to the adjacent publichouse, when, on examination, two sovereigns and some silver were found in his pocket. Some bruises were perceptible on the deceased's arms, as if violence had been used towards him ; this latter circum stance, however, has been explained, the son of the deceased having come forward on b e ing apprised of what had hap pened. The deceased's name is Smith, a mason, living at Kennington, and had lately been suffering under derange ment. The family were compelled to place him under re straint of late, but he contrived to make his escape on Monday, since which period he had not been beard of until found in the ditch as described.

Combebank, Kent, Nov. 29, 1835. My DEAR TALBOT—Yesterday's post brought me your letter of 25th instant, and for which allow me to return you my best thanks. I should have been exceedingly sorry to have lost the opportunity of joining with so many of my former constituents, for whose kindness towards me upon all occasions I must ever feel most grateful, in paying that respect and attention, by the address to which you allude, to his Excellency our present Lord Lieutenant, and to which I-think he is so much entitled in every particular. May I request of you to affix my name to the address ; and I am only sorry that I do not happen to be among you at the present time, to save you the trouble I am now about to impose upon you. I have known Lord Mulgrave a very long time—having been at school with him, and I have also the satisfaction to think that I have always anticipated, and have so expressed myself to many individuals, that his government in Ireland would be as EXCELLENT as it could possibly be, under the many, very many difficulties he as well as all others in that country have to contend with. I think he is making this manifest every day! ! Pray, remember me most warmly to all friends, and be lieve, my dear Talbot, yours faithfully, TEMPLEMORE. To J. H. Talbot, Esq., M.P. THE NEW CORPORATIONS. A fifth supplement to the London Gazette of Friday contains the decision of the Revising Barristers relative to the warding and assignment of the following municipal he roughs, which decisions are, however, disapproved of, viz. : --,Lincoln, Maidstone, Newark, Newcastle-under-Lyne, .7:Neweiislie:4llOri.-Tytte;' Portsmouth, - Reading, Shrewsbury, Southampton, Stamford, Sunderland, Truro, 'Walsall, Winchester, Worcester, and York. The form of disap proval is as follows - " And whereas the division and • assignment so made by the barristers appear to be in certain particulars liable to objection, now, therefore, his Majesty, by advice of hi s Privy Council, doth hereby disapprove of such determina tion of the said barristers, and of the number of councillor so assigned to each ward of the said borough ; but, never theless, his Majesty, by the advice aforesaid, doth order that the particulars of the division and assignment so made by the said barristers shall be published in the London Ga zette, in order that such force and validity may be given thereto as is authorised and directed by the said Act." The Act states, that in case of disapproval the awards must be referred to the Revising Barristers for their further consideration—their previous decisions remaining valid for the purpose of elections uii ) til their subsequent report shall be approved of by the Privy Council. The words of the Act are— " Provided always, that . if his Majesty, by advice of his Privy Council, should not approve such determination, such publication as aforesaid should nevertheless be made, and such division be in force, for the purpose of any election under the provisions of the said Act, and until such_ time as Msjcstylsis •should, by advice of his Privy Council, upon full* information and report fro'n such barristers, deft tively approve the division qf suck borough into war manner therein before mentioned." The same applies to the assignment of Councillors.: oppears, therefore, that should the Revising Barristers here to their decisions, they will remain valid fOr all tle practical purposes of the Act.

THE FLEMINGS.—" It is a remarkable fact, that a Flemish parent will never indulge in, nor enjoy luxuries —never abate his labours—until he has accumulated suffi cient to give each of his children as much as he himself re ceived from his father. This hereditary principle pervading society, high and low, Icivcs an overwhelming influence to opinion, and in it consists the grand secret which, among the Flemings, cherishes and maintains industry, thrift, and the domestic affection." -Mg Note Book. TO THE REFORMERS OF IRELAND Darrytiane Abbey, 4th December, 1835. Hereditary bondsmen, know you not, Who would be FREE themselves must strike the blow? My Lords and Gentlemen—l admit, I candidly admit that there has been a want of unanimity, nay much dis• cord between us. The Repealers, of whom I am one al the leaders—the Radicals, of whom I.arn decidedly one— have been severed from the more moderate Reformers of Whig principles by a wall, of separation erected chiefly by the party to which I belonged. But why were we thus separated? Simply because we were for the Repeal and you were not ; and we were more violent and you were more moderate than perhaps either ought to be. But these causes are removed ; the Repealers are now fixed upon giving the experiment of the possibility of obtaining good government, - without a domestic legislature, a full and fair trial. Ido appeal to you all, whether I, net only as an in dividual, but as representing a party, am not straining every nerve to give that experiment all possible efficacy. We Irish Radicals, too, are now content to place the present Ministry at the head of the movement ; to go on with them cautiously and deliberately ; not to be so unreasonable as to expect them to overthrow at once obstacles which require time and repeated exertions to remove—and we arc ready to accept with cheerful gratitude every instalment of the national debt of amelioration in our public institutions which the Ministry can wring from their enemies and ours. With these dispositions, what is there to prevent a cor dial co-operation between Reformers of every class and shade of opinion in Ireland ? We Repealers do not ask you to join in looking for the Repeal—on the contrary, we are not now. looking for it ourselves. We Radicals do not. press you to go beyond your own deliberate opinions on the., road to salutary reforms in the state. Nay more, so far from obtruding on your opinions, we only desire to give you strength. to work them (at into practical effect. We cheerfully place you at the bead of the Reformers, and give you the guidance and the control of all the measures ne cessary to make our cooperation effectual. _ _ _ _ . Thus, therefore, it must at least be admltted, that we avaßepeakiia.rare now in the rig.lii—that we take away every*ause—yes, and every pretence—for dissension and division p amongst ---Reformers—and that .we—leave • the neglect or the apathy of other classes of Reformers without excuse or palliation. There never was a period in which the duty was so in cumbent—so imperatively incumbent on the Reformers of Ireland to be active and energetic as the present :—mark its features. _ _ ..,......._____ In the first place, the hopes of Ireland are bound up ivitii the stability of the present governmpnt. It is the first that ever acted on the principle of equal justice to, and perfect impartiality between all classes and 'per suasions of Irishmen. For the first time' for near seven centuries we have a ministry giving practical proofs of the sincerity of its professions of abolishing all political distinctions in Ireland, and of grounding its preferences and selections on the individual merits of the persons preferred and selected—and not on the creed, class, or party to which such persons belong. Besides, the go vernment of Ireland is . delegated to persons who have so much of excellent _ judgment and exquisite good sense, that their conduct enhances the value of every act of conciliation, and produces a conviction, that when they fail in any:useful measure, such failure is . to be attri buted to She want of sufficient means, or of sufficient power, arc - not to the want of inclination or exertion. Lord Mulgrave has acted with a temper, a tact, and a wisdom of policy, which stamps him as possessing that superiority of mind most suited to pacify Ireland, and make 1 4 - er. substantially and really' a portion of the British Ern • ire l , by means of the enjoyment of equal benefits and pri- Vileges with Great Britain. Lord Morpeth has given the - grea4st satisfaction by his conduct and intelligence. In short, the g reat experiment of the effect - oftro-play and of justice in Ireland is in favourable progre4*.4 . ,tlionsancls upon thousands of obstacles and dilliculikii;. - 1 . I ask the Reformers of Ireland whetb4-Wsentire ad ministration of tiffairs in this country,-' , 4;;,atOresent con ducted, is not initselfa great and . inoSV=itsaluable reform, requiring nothing but permanency_to•r - ender it perfectly sa lutary, and nearly sufficient for every pUrpose of good go vernment ? If, indeed, it were coupled with an extension of the franchise, it would give us nearly all the reform ne cessary to develop° the incllculable resources of this fine but abused land. _ But let it be recollected, in the second place, that at pre sent all these advantages are precarious, depending altoge ther on the. existence of the present Ministry. They have been created by - this Ministry—they depend for duration on this Ministry—and with this Ministry they .would assu redly terminate. This is no exaggeration of danger, nor is it any rain fear. We all witnessed the horrid experiment of last year—we saw this country consigned to the weakness and Tory malignity of Lord Haddington—to the active and inverate partisanship uf, 4 si4.llenry Haraiuge, one of the most unscrupulous of par tisans frirtiTtrlittliai`‘r - -r-The cere bigot Lefroy, and old Gregory in the Castle; in their dig nity of Privy Councillor s, threatened the country with all the horrors of sectarian dominion. Nor was the threat an idle one —their very appointment to the Privy Council was a wilful and studied insult to the people of Ireland. The No-Popery flag waved in-the' presence of, and, indeed, over the head of Lord Haddington, betokening in no ddubtful words the destruction of six millions and a half of the King's subjects in Ireland ; for until they annihilate that number of Irish men, the flag of !‘ No-Popery" will not announce a truth. it was, therefore, a filg of extermination, raised in the pre sence of Lord Paddington and his Secretary, the brave but ill-conditioned Sir Henry Hardinge. Nor was the war proclaimed in vain. The judicial offices were about to be filled. Shaw was to have been made a judge—Jackson had his foot on the steps of the bench. You saw the activity and the glee with which the ancient ferocity of . Orangeism exhibited itself. Blood— torrents of blood would have - followed, and if the late Ad ministration had continued in office, Ireland would have been a desert, or a precarious and sanguinary republic. I do ask you, my Lords and Gentlemen, whether you can contemplate any thing more horrible to Ireland than the restoration to power of Peel or Wellington. The exasperation of the Orangemen is at its height. ; they are irritated to madness, simply because an undue preference is no longer given to that faction, and perhaps their insanity is the more outrageous because they cannot allege any one reasonable complaint. But the worst feature in the present state of the Orange faction is, that many Protestants who were heretofore considered as rather liberal, and who cer tainly were not Orangemen, have committed themselves so thoroughly with that party, that acrimony and virulence have been extended and increased to a degree which only requires the stimulant of a Tory Government to produce the most terrific mischief. I do not exaggerate in the least—we are on the verge of a volcano—nothing can preserve the country from a 'dread ful explosion, but the continuance in office of his Majesty's present adviqers, and their being encouraged and strengthened in their exertions to preserve peace and tran quillity. If Peel or Wellington regain power, that third conquest of Ireland with which Wellington once threatened us, will be, I doubt not, attempted. I do not hesitate to say, that the safety of the Throne itself is involved in, and identified with, the stability of the present Administration— and that not only as regards the people of Ireland, but as results from the disposition and determination of the Re formers of. England and Scotland. It is, therefore, manifestly a duty we owe in point of alle giance to our Sovereign, in point of affection to our coun try, in point of prudence for our own security, to exert all our faculties, so as to strengthen the . hands of the present Ministry against all their enemies and ours. On the other .hand, the Orange faction are inerssant in their activity—they are combined—they arc united as one man—they are ever vigilant—they are neglecting no ad vantages—they are stopped by no obstacles—they are ut terly regardless of the means they employ. They cajole— they oppress—they corrupt. They employ bribery and in timidation—force and fraud. They pervert the law. They procure aid from perjury. They render the Bench itself ancillary to their purposes. In short, there never was a more wicked or a more active party. They have with them the magistracy—most of our sheriffs, and of the list of candidates for that office presented by the judges ! ! ! They have with them in feeling perhaps some of the judges themselves. They have with them " the Lodger Assistant- Barristers." The county officers, clerks of the peace.and of the crown, secretaries of grand juries—many police offi cers, and multitudes of the privates of police are with them. In short, the Orange conspiracy has its ramifications far and wide, extending . every where, and powerful exactly in the proportion in which it is yielded to, or not directly resisted. Still that faction which, whilst yielded to, is powerful and predominant, is weak and insignificant if properly resisted. That this truth is certain is demonstrated by the success of the late election. But the agitators were then abroad— the agitators in whom the people were accustomed to con fide. We were able against all the force and weight of the Government to beat down our Orange adversaries. The people, the honest, energetic, I would say, heroic people, assisted us, and the result was the overthrow of the late base Administration. But. we agitators have withdrawn from active exertions. We have no longer any centre of unity. We have no combination—no association--no machinery whatever to oppose improper "claims to reuister—no arrangement to brir ' r forward the claims of Reformers. In sh or t, w e have made way for the WhiT, Reformers. .The ground is un occupied,-and the cause of Reform is abandoned. But this is not 'all :-=the Tories in England are express ing their most virulent hostility to the Irish people who are at present thus deserted by their natural leaders, Whigs and Radicals. Nay, I way be accused of exaggeration when I state my conviction, that a change of Administra tion would plunge Ireland in blood. But such an accusa tion against me is unfounded—my-assertion is literally true. The return to power of Peel or „Wellington would be the signal for every •act of cruelfv which could stimulate a population driven to despair of any legal remedy—to resort to the " wild justicY' of sanguinary .reteng-e, and each crime committed at either side would provoke and appear to jus tify a cruel retaliation. That the Tory faction in England is ready to co-op.-rate in the perpetration of every crucity and crime which the Orangeists would desire to commit against the Catholic: clergy and laity of Ireland is now as plain as demonstration can make it. Look at their great literary organs—the in dicators of the intentions of the party. You will find in them a scurrility, a virulence, and a 4 truculent atrocity of language, addressed to the C.ltho'.ics of Iridand, which have not been used in England since the days of Crom well—since those days when a bigotted soldiery.slanghtered the parent and the youth—the mother and the babe—and strewed the green fields of Irclimd with the frequent corpses of her children, and made the entire nation one blood-red Ratheormac. From that day to the present such language has not been used as is now - familiar with the creedless, conscienceless wretches who conduct the leading organs of the Tories— the Times and the Standard. The abuse which those au thorized miscreants pour -upon the Catholic people .of Ire land is so virulent as to exceed description, and .to be calculated as the prelude to massacre. Let me extract the epithets bestowed on my unfortunate countrymen. I take them from a few, very few publications. The peo ple of Ireland arc called "an idle, poor, untaught, unprin cipled, f ierce, savage, barbarian RABBLE." Recollect that the miscreants who use this language are the great oracles, the leading supporters of the Peel-Wel lington party. In fact, they arc the " month-pieces" Of the Tories. I ask any candid person whether this abuse be not, in truth and in fact, a cry for extermirrtion ? What a patient, what a forbearing p i,le we are ! Is there on the faceA . the oartu, any itler people who would endureMS 'vilification - ? Yet we are so patient and for bearing, that the prime traducer—Barnes, of the Times — goes on from day to day expressing the contumely and ran cour of his party fot the Catholic people of Ireland, in the most ferocious. language, without the least apprehension of punishment. But the atrocity of the Peel-Wellington party towards the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, exceeds all bounds. Never were the lowest and vilest of mankind so assailed with foul and filthy language, as are the laborious, intelligent, learned, faithful, exemplary, and pious Catholic Clergy of Ireland-•-- assailed by the most strenuous supporters of the Tory op, position. Let me present you with a few specimens of the manner in which the Tories treat tbe Catholic Clergy of Ireland. These are the specimens of Tory virulence se lected from -the papers I have mentioned, but particularly from the Tines. Our Clergy are called, "*a disgrace to the name of Christian Ministers"—" absolute, selfish, coarse and halt: ld tyrants"—" vulgar-minded, shallow, and un principled quacks "—" spiritual tyrants"—" brutal auto- crats"—" surplieed ruffians "—" wretched impostors"— " Popish rz.:fflans"—" pious terrorists"—" atrocious hypo crites"—" a brutal Priesthood." When misery presses hard upon the Irish peasant, he has one friend, one only friend—the priest. When dis tress wrings his soul, he has one comforter, one only com forter—the priest. When crime covers him with disgrace and consigns him to punishment, when his heart sinks within hirn at the apprehension of man's vengeance and with - the terror of God's wrath, lie has one consoler, one only con soler—the priest. When famine stalks abroad, and that his children wail in starvation, there is one incessant in col lecting the means of relief, one—only one—incessant col lector—the priest. When pestilenceinvades the land and brings desertion of fi iends, and agony, and death, there is —there is still one who does not forsake him living, nor desert him dying—who stretches upon his straw, impreg nated with infection, and pours the last words of Christian comfort upon that dying breath, from which in return he inhales disease, and perishes the martyr of duty, of cha rity, and of God—THE PRIEST, Tsen PRIEST. Yet it is on that priest, lives in a constant martyr dom, that the authorised and pampered fiends of the Tory press exhaust all the resources of the most malignant minds, and of the most practised and vulgar scurrility of language. There is no class of that priesthood too exalted—there is no virtue too dignified—there is no piety too sacred to escape this Tory persecution. Behold the appellations which these Tory minions bestow upon our Archbishops. Dr. Mac Hale, a model of the highest order of classic lite rature, who dignifies his high station by his patriotism, his piety, and his charity, still more than by his learning, is de nominated by one of these wretches, " a wolfish fiend !!!" Dr. Murray, the mildest and meekest of living gentlemen —he Who never meddled in politics, but to mitigate aspe rities and temper our violences, and to point out the mode of merging political strifo in Christian charity—he, even he is wiled—what ?—" a disgusting denzlgaga. .---431244.1 re thee!e , all-idle words No 1 .--rateAlsomOrndisimear. -- No. They are the whetting of the .knife—the sharpening of the dagger—the cocking of the pistol—the full and fell preparation for slaughter—the readiness for the burst of Orange persecution over universal Ireland. Let the Tories regain power, and those infernal passions, which at present find vent only in the audacious atrocity of vituperation, will, in the musket and bayonet ; the pistol or the stiletto, exhibit still more congenial weapons. There is an ineident.ef the last week which illustrates the state of suppressed excitement which festers in the' minds of the Orangeists of Ireland. It is, in one view of its nature, trivial ; but, soundly considered, it is of great vital importance. I allude to the rejection of the Most Rev. Dr. Murray by the Dublin Society. Straws show how the tempest is preparing, to set in—and this is one of the evidences of the coming storm. For, surely, never did there live a man so suited for a literary society ; a man more free frora party spirit—from Tancour, or any taint of passicn—never breathed. There is, there can be, but one reason why he was rejected—it was because be is a Catholic archbishop. It was to insult, not him, but-the Catholic body. It was to express hate and contempt for their coun try Men of the Catholic persuasion. I could not have be lieved that so meanly malignant a being could bear the human form as he who, in the security of privacy, offered such an indignity to so venerable—in every sense of the word—so truly venerable a person. Yet, there were, in one and the same room, no less than sixty-five of them. What a state do we live in ! And surely every liberal man who belongs to that Society will disclaim all connection with it, by resigning. I declare solemnly, that a worse spirit ap pears in this insult than in any public declaration of hos tility which Orangeisin could possibly display. Meanness of the basalt kind—malignity of the most atrocious nature— stimulated thes-s persons to that insult. Al! such persons want is the power to carry into efil•ot their hideous propen sities, and to deluge the country with blood. dwell on the subjects, my Lords and Gentlemen, that we all may understand the exact situation of this unhappy country, and comprehend precisely what is necessary to be dons to promote improvement and peace on the one hand, and to avoid higottcd oppression and civil strife on the other. _ _ The fate of Ireland, Reformers is iii`your bands. The Irish people arc ready to act with you—to obey you—to s ubmit to your guidance—to co-operate with you in support of the King's government—and to do every thing neces sary to continue the exclusion of the Orange Tory faction from all opportunity of convulsing the realm. It is desirable that the Protestant nobility and gentry who support the present ministry should, commence and lead this movement. They should begin to form that which, since the commencement of a Whig Government under Lord Grey, has been hitherto wanting—namely a government party—a party acting in unison with the Irish Government. The Tories have such a party in Ireland, and as long as a Tory MiniAry hand over the country to be a spoil and a prey to the Orange faction, so long will that faction countenance and support a Tory Administration. But the Whigs have had hitherto no party in Ireland. Since the late accession of Lord Melbourne to office, the Irish nation has gone along with his Ministry ; but the upper and wealthier classes never either opposed him or stood aloof. It is time to terminate this species of inter regnum. It is time that the Whigs of rank and fortune should take that prominent station in aid of the govern , ment which would prepare, in the best mode, the popular triumph in the next elections. The North could be -re deemed from much of its thraldom. In Ulster the Whigs have much to gain —in Leinster, Munster, and Connaught, much to preserve.
