~} _~,~ MYSTERIOUS' tatttMSTANCE. A tale of horrid import, sufficient to harrow up the soul, has been in circulation some days, in this town and neighbourhood, the particulars of which, as well-as we have been able to recol lect them,. are as follow :—On the m orning •of Wednesday week, at the early hour of two obelock, two men, goingg, with. their master s team from Dale Abbey, in Derbrhire, to. the village of Bulwell, in this county; for a load .of lime, when passing near Broxtowe Hall, in the p ar i s h of Basford, perceived a light in a wo o d, or :plan tation, not far ;from the road ; their curiosity being excited by so unusual a circumstance at • .that hour, one of the men remained in chate o f . th e wa ggon and horses, whilst the other went to see what was, the. cause, when, to his great astonishment" he perceived a man, who, throw ing something out of his hands, snatched. up a lanthorn, and putting out. the light, instautly dis appeared ! His astonishment, however, was . still greater, on going to the spot, and finding a hole dug in the shape' of a grave, with .a PicLaxe lying near, and a man's red waist coat ; scarcely knowing what he did, he took up the axe and the waistcoat, and hastened to his companion, to tell his tale of wonder ! On searching the pockets of the waistcoat, a huge knife was found therein, and the two coun trymen had no difficulty in coming to the deci sion that a murder had been about to be com mitted, which they had probably prevented.— They went OIL their way, discoursing on the strange thing that had happened, when they met a young woman, of whom they, inquired _where she was going ? To this she replied in a petu lent manner, " What's that to you ?" and re fused to give any satisfactory answer., At length they showed her the red waistcoat, when she ac knowledged she knew it well, and. was going to meet its owner ! They then told her what they had seen, and accompanied her to the grave side, which when she saw, she fainted, and fell therein ; with some difficulty they got her out of the hole, and then she confessed other par ticulars relative to her connexion with this man, and pointed out where he lived in Bul well. They then accompanied her to her Amine, at .Bulwell, and having seen her safe, proceeded on their way, put up their horses at the Red • Lion, and left the red waistcoat, axe, and knife, with the landlord : they then got in their load, and the men returned home. Such was the account brought to our office on Mon day, and we have felt it our duty to investigate it. True it is there is a hole in the shape of a grave, about six feet long, three wide, and two deep; dug at the .place named, and hundreds of per sons from all the surrounding country have been to see it ; but on going to the girl's friends, whose name we purposely omit, we found to our astonishment, that they all denied it, and asserted that she was not out that night. Resolved to fathom the mystery, we pro,. ceeded to the Red Lion, at Bulwell, when the landlord denied having seen the men or the waistcoat, but he had heard of the tale, and believed .there was some truth in. it ; we then inquired at the different lime kilns, and other places that were at all likely to afford any clue, but one and all denied having seen the men, the waistcoat, or any thing else connected with the story. We also found, that the ,Rev. W. Herbert, the minister of the parish, along with, C. Alcock, Esq., had exa mined into the rumour the day before, and were satisfied that it had no foundation. We then saw the man who was- accused, but he stoutly denied it, and gave proof, which to us was.quite satisfactory, that lie was not a - party to the trans action ; and further inquiry convinced Us - that the horrid Red Barn tragedy had been talked about in the country, with variations ; Lady-wood, near Dale .Abbey, had at first been fixed upon as the spot for the. grave, but afterwards a than, who was desirous of a hoax, went to. the wood near Broxtowe, and dug the hole, that he might enjoy the,sport of thousands going to behold it, —We have been thus particular in the affair, in order not only to correct the generally received rumour, .but also to show how easily . a marvel lous tale may be conjured up and gain credence, without any foundation in fact.—Nottinglrani Review. Sonic idea may be formed of the value of laud in the centre of Birmingham, when we state that about 10,000/. was recently asked for an unoccupied space of about three quarters of an acre. The widening and im proving the Stafford-street entrance into Birmingham has been determined upon.—Litchfield Mercury. The wife of a man residing near the Wicker, on expressing to her husband a wish to go to Doncaster to see the great St. Leger race; found that he was similarly dispo,4ed himself, but the difficulty was how to obtain the needful—neither of them having any money, nor indeed was there any thing in the house that could be conveniently converted into cash after consulting together on the sub ject, it occurred to them that as they had a little .credit with a neighbouring shopkeeper, the. difficulty might be obviated. The wife accordingly got two stones of flour on credit, a n d i nnnvliately took it to a pawnbroker, who not only received it in pledge, bot•engaged that his wife should get it inade into bread, with an understanding that it was to be redeemed, loaf after loaf, as the parties might be able to work out its deliverance after their retuin.— With the money thus obtained the congenial couple'went to Doncaster.—Sheffield 3liidame tie TALL ARD used to tell to her circle of friends so me droll anecd ote ' s of very wealthy financie r of the periti Snit, i of'L LOl3nEL,F:Nxmt v o a ._, Louis wishei 'to borro w from this millions of livrcs, and the Duke of N oaILLEs was charged to manage the loan. BERNARD replied with equal spirit an I that such a demand was not undeserving a requestutttoZtTe KING himself. Such an opinion did not seem able, and the Duke of NOAILLES was instructed to conduct hanker to Choisy. The two arrived there just as a tl ct KING was going out to hunt.

Silt--The alarm and consternation displayed at this juncture by the opponents of all • measures of relief for Ireland, is one of the strongest evidences that can be given of the rapid progress which the cause of truth and justice has made throughout the country. At former periods the opinion of the people at large on the question of Emancipation might, perhaps, have been doubted, and hence-the manifest wisdom of that system of neutrality which has .of late years been adopted by the Government —a system which has allowed. the arguments on birth sides to be weighed far more dispassionately than would have been generally practicable if the whole of the influence of those in 'Power had been thrown into either scale.- The neutrality has been . - indeed far from perfect; no inconsiderable degree of what is called Government influence having always operated against the Catholics; but even this im perfect and limited neutrality has been favourable to calm investigation and free discussion, and the con sequence has been that the opinion of the more in telligent and informed part of our population has become more decided than ever in favour of that great measure, without which Ireland can. never be tranquil, nor England just and free. A state of things so auspicious to the best interests of the country, moral and political, has naturally excited anxiety and alarm in a certain well-known party, which has long endeavoured to sway the councils of the empire upon the principles of . exclusion and in tolerance, and to secure to itself a sordid and illi beral advantage by the persecution of all opinions, and the extinction of all power but its own. Hence the formation of Brunswick Clubs and Constitu tional Associations, falsely so called, and the pub licatioa of certain .ominous letters and manifestoes signed " KENON" and " NEWCASTLE," against the influence of which, in particular quarters, it be comes the friends of truth and rational freedom, and true Protestantism, to put the unsuspecting part of the public upon its guard. In proffering a vigorous and determined resist ance to this new crusade against the common sense of the people of England, and the dearest civil inte rests of the bitterly-oppressed people of Irelatid, and the union and prosperity of both countries, we have in the first instance to congratulate ourselves that the principles upon Which our adversaries have de termined to act have been deliberately adopted arid publicly avowed. With an edifying lack of caution, whiCh has already startled not a few of their ex pected adherents, they have distinctly acknowledged, in these very letters, principles of policy and legisla tion which, if acted upon, would identify the system of our Gevernment with the barbarism of the middle ages, arrest the progress of knowledge and civiliza- lion, subvert all that has been done since the Re formation towards the recognition of the rights of conscience, degrade Protestantism and the Church of England, by representing persecution as essential to their protection, and plunge the United Kingdom in all the horrors of a civil war. The calm and wise neutrality professed by the Government on the in teresting question of the safety of conceding toseven millions of petitioners those right 6 to which every British subject is born, but which have been fatally withheld from them, to the imminent peril of the State, and the grievous scandal of Protestantism, on account of their erroneous religious faith—is openly called by his Grace of NEWCASTLE an " accursed system of liberalism, neutrality, and conciliation."— The " spread of knowledge and philosophy" are sounds which, he says, " make the heart sick."— I The mere. forbearance of . Government on the ques- tion of emancipation has brought the Protestant Constitation; according to his Grace, to the verge of utter ruin—that Constitution being unable, on this showing, to sustain itself, without having recourse to a legalised system of political persecution, as exe crable in principle as the worst conduct attributed to the Catholics themselves in the darkest ages. The 'repeal of the Act enforcing the sacramental test, that foulest blot on the Church of England, that disgust ing profanation of the holiest of rites, compared with which the idolatry of the mass itself is almost inno cent, inasmuch as it may possibly result, in some instances, from a. speculative Mistake; the repeal of this hateful and most mischievous Act is described as an utter dereliction of principle, calculated, it is said, in the worst cant of fanaticism, to make God desert us. The great body of Protestant Dissenters, who hold their dissent as conscientiously as his Grace holds his churchmanship, are unceremo niously stigmatised as " haters of all order.'.' And, lastly, the people of England, the mob, are called upon by this distinguished Aristocrat to oppose Go vernment, and to clamour for an open and declared persecution of the Catholics—for the abolition of Catholic establishments, the withdrawment of the elective franchise, and the re-enactment of the hor rors of the Penal Code. Such are the principles avowed by the leaders- and projectors of the forth coming Associations, called " Brunswick Clubs," probably as an ironical coinpliment to our most gra cious SOV.k;REIGN, whose prosperous Government has been 'peculiarly characterised by that system of " conciliation" of which his visit to Ireland was the pledge; but which certain of his loyal and conspiring subjects are now pleased to style an " accursed system." It is a happy cir cumstance, we repeat, that the principles upon which these clubs are founded has been thus ex plicitly stated in language which no one can mis take; and these precious letters may always be ap pealed to . , so long as these pestilent institutions exist, a s proofs of the views in which they briginated, and the,neeessary mischievousness of their operation. The rattle of the serpent has reminded us of its malignant existence, and warned us of its near ap proach.. It is no longer a snake concealed among flowers of which we complain; it is the hydra of civil proscription and religious intolerance which, touched by the spear of truth, starts up in its full proportions, threatening its utmost vengeance, and calling for the most relentless and uncompromising opposition. It is the same monster which our .an cestors expelled with th e S TUARTS, and which now proposes to return among us, calling it se lf Proles tanlisni, and appealing with an . odd mixtup of hypo crisy and effrontery to th e principles Avhich placed the House of'Bßusiswfvx on the throie—principles as much opposed to those of the., clubs as truth is opposed to falsehood, or darkness to light. We content ourselves for the present with sug. gesting two i nqu i r ies —will the people. o f E ngland be duped by 411 e sophistry of these pe o pl e ? and will the Duke of WELi,R;GToN renounce all cl a i m t o the character of a statesman, or to the possession of Ordinary firmness of mind, by suffering himself to be . scared from his purpose by their clamour? To dupe the people, and to intimidate the Government, Constitute in the nature of things the leading objects of the BrunsWick Clubs, and there can be little: - dos& but thitt_both olieets will utterly fail: The petit& of England cannot, by the 'ceaseless repetition of the phrases of " Prote3tant - Constitur tion," and " Protettatit Azt2endancy," be led tel*- lieve that it can ever be necessary to the security of the Constitution, or, ,to the prevalence . of Pro testantism, that the rights of seven millions of good §ubjects should „be systematically _withheld. The more the subject is discussed, the more dearly they will perceive that the essence of Protestantism is the recognition of the right (f private judgment on .points of faith ; and that to subject men to civil ex clusion, or any kind of persecution on account of their religion, so far froth being characteristics! of a " Protestant Constitution," is directly at variance with such a Constitution ; is in fact nothing better than an execrable and Popish invasion of the rights of conscience. They will perceive that it is an idle sophism to call the exclusive laws, as'they are often called, perhaps from fraud, perhaps from ignorance, " the essential and fundamental principles of the Constitution Tii Church and State,"—inasmuch as those laws are only casual and incidental blemishes in a Constitution otherwise free, intended by our ancestors as temporary expedients ,to meet a temporary difficulty, and not only unsuited to the present times, but unworthy, from their very nature, t..) form part of a perma nent and comprehensive system of Govern ment. In short, the argument of the exclusionists being absolutely worthless, his Grace and his worthy coadjutors will find it vain to attenipt to persuade the people to the contrary. The real progress of improvement (to use the " jargon" which his Grace hates—hating the thing signified by it still more) has been so great that the bulk of the community are more competent now than they ever were to dis tinguish between reason and absurdity—a provoking fact to those of their superiors in rank, who have no better means of preserving their ancient but hourly decreasing influence, than by appealing to party watch-words, senseless fallacies, and antiquated prejudices. But what is the country to do with this invete rate old party, who are continually placing them seves in the breach to obstruct every species of im provement, and deafening us with the cry that in novation is necessarily destruction, and assuring us by all that is sacred, that if we wipe the dust from General MooßE's statue, St. Paul's Cathedral will inevitably fall about our ears ? We must do, Sir, what has often been done before with people of this class: we must improve our institutions in spite of them, and then leave the alarmists to die a natural death. The Newtonian system of astronomy was once opposed by just such a knot of incorrigibles as our No-Popery men ; but the Newtonians believed in the power of argument, they convinced all whose minds were accessible to truth, they succeeded with the young, the ingenuous, and the unprejudiced, and they trusted their cause to time. The conse quence was that their cause triumphed as truth is wont to do, the patrons of absurdity died off one by one, (the last lately), and the world is now Newtonian. Will the Duke of WELLINGTON be iutimidatei in the course which his best friends intimate that he has adopted by the clamours of such politicians as these ? Shall we have to congratulate him on eclipsing the glory of his military victories by the more valuable conquests of enlightened legislation, or must we wait for the better times of his succes sor ? These questions must be left for his Grace himself to answer, in the course 'of the ensuing Session. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sept. 25, 1628. . MARCUS. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. • FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept., 25. ) PARIS, SEPT. 24.—We have just received a letter horn Constantinople, dated 29th August. This letter informs us that the Grand Vizier took with him to the camp at Shumla, reinforcer entS to the amount of 40,000 men. Every thing indicates that the Turks have taken the firm resolution to fight to the last extremity. Baron D'Ottenfels, the Austrian Internimcio, has just been instructed by Prince Met ternich to make new endeavours to induce the Porte to accede to the Treaty of 6th July, in what con cerns Greece, and to open negociatiens with Russia relative to those points which concern that power exclusively. Baron D'Ottenfels thinks, that in the present state of public opinion at Constantinople, any application to the Ottoman Government will not prove successful. The news received . at Con stantinople from the army, cannot but increase the obstinacy of the Mussulmen. We have received to-day the following letter, con taining further particulars of the expedition to the Morea _ " CAMP AT PETALIDI, SEPT. 4.—The landing was effected without opposition. -We have not seen the shadow of a Turk or an Egyptian. We are encamped within musket shot of the shore, partly on same eminences, and partly on a plain near seve ral rivulets, which supply excellent water. We are in want of nothing, with respect to subsistence, and the inhabitants bring us all possible refreshments, on payment; but we have only some branches of trees to shelter us; all the houses being burnt; and the Greeks---men, women, and children—are en camped under the trees with their arms, and the few effects which the war has left them. Happily the weather is fine, which renders the bivouac support able. The whole of the first division arrived with out any accident whatever, after a very fortunate voyage of eleven or twelve days. The soldiers are gay and in good health. " We have been informed that the garrison of Corot' has retired, and fallen back to Medon. We do not yet know what the army will do, but it is not probable it will quit its present encampment in less than five or six days. Nothing is yet finally settled respecting Ibrahim, and what remains of his army. The news from Constantinople announce that the Divan will not yield in any point, or on any account, and that it sends very hostile orders to the Pachas and Agas of the north of Greece. It is added that the Albanians are willing to march, but on condition that they shall first receive their arrears of pay." ODESSA, SEPT. s.—The. Emperor has been de tained since the 2d by contrary winds, and could not sail for Varna till yesterday. The projected attack which was fixed for the 9th may, therefore, be delayed some days. (From the Moniteur, dated Sept. 24.) SITUATION , OF' THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Russian bulletins of to-day confirm what has been said previously on the check suffered before Shuinla. Because the check is to be attributed to General Wrede, the check is not the less real, It also appears from the bulletin that the two armies have exchanged characters; that . _ the offensive atti tude has passed from the Russians to the side of the Turks. Although , the official account appears to attach but little importance to the last attack of the ' Turks,' one circumstance clearly indicates that its result has been serious : that is, the retreat of Gen. Rudiger, who being attacked at Eski-Stamboul, and • having victoriously repulsed attacks, has not the less quitted his position in order to unite with the troops. which observed Shumla. 'I he importance of Eski-. Stamboul had been much boasted of; it had the advan tage,it was said, of disturbing the rear of the Turks and checking their communications, which is true, as the moment it was evacuated new reinforcements entered Shumla. But the more important the situation was,the more inclined we must be to believe that the Russians .had strong mAives for abandoning it. This can only be the danger' with which the detached corps of f General Rudiger, and even the bodies encamped before Shumla, were menaced. It is only by con centrating them that they - have been thought capable of resisting successfully the attacks which, no doubt, the Turks are disposed to renew. . The recital' of the operations it the siege of Varna proves, that if the siege,is pushed with vigour, the defence of the Turks is no less vigorous. Every thing announces, however, that the efforts of the Russians, concentrated on this point, will triumph over a furious resistance; but it is probable that it. will be the last event of the campaign.

ERRATUM.—In an Advertisement which appeared in Thursday's Paper, headed " Notice to Booksellers," for " Lucet's Work," read " Sweet's Work" on Ge raniums. A ribr r ) LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1828. The• French Journals contain little intelligence beyond, what we gave yesterday. The Emperor NICHOLAS, it seems, had been detained at Odessa to the 4th, in consequence of contrary winds. Accounts do not agree at what time he set out for Varna; most probably on the 4th. The Gazette de France, in a letter from Con stantinople, dated August 29th, says that the GRAND VIZIER took with him to Shumla reinforcements to the amount of 40,000 men. The same paper adds, that " the Turks have taken - the 'firm resolution to fight to the last extremity." His Majesty's ship Blossom, Capt. BEECIIY, has arrived from Chili and Rio de Janeiro, having sailed from the latter port on the sth Aug.; she brings - a mail, and has on board one million and a half of dollars, all for merchants' account, toge ther with the Hon. R. GORDON, our Minister at the Court of Rio de Janeiro, and Mr. C. R. NUGENT, the Consul-General at Chili, as passengers. The letters by this' - conveyance furnish no intelligence of the least importance with respect to peace ; the exchange on England was then 31d. per- milrea, being a small advance, and firm at this rate, the confident expectation of the war being .likely - to be terminated very shortly, seeming to be on the increase. The Redpole packet was very anxiously and hourly looked for from the River Plate, by which vessel the Commissioners from Buenos Ayres were to ' take their passage. - The Lord Melville packet had been appointed to sail on the 9th of August for England. By this conveyance we have also received the. Diario Flunzinense to the sth of August, from which we extract the following : MO DE JANEIRO, JULY 28. The official part of the Diario Fluminense contains the Emperor's Proclamation to the Portuguese nation, dated July 25. AUGUST I.—" His Majesty being informed that in this province, and in the whole empire, there are monks of various orders out of their convents, many of them without licence, his Majesty orders that you make the necessary enquiries, and send to the office of the Minister of Justice an accurate account of all the monks in this province out, of their respective convents, specifying those who have licences, and from whom, and those who have not, and that you immediately send them to the convents nearest the place where they shall be found; and as this measure has particularly respect to them who are foreigners, you are scrupulously to inquire for what reason they are come to Brazil, what has been "their conduct, and whence they have derived their means of subsistence. (Signed) JulY 28, 1828." Copies of this notice have been sent to the President o all the provinces of the empire. " " It having come to the knowledge of the Emperor tha the ITe-footed Carmelites in this province have in Pot• tugsh their superior Prelates, to whom, notwithstanding the independence of this Empire or that kingdom, they continue to pay obedience, and by so doing give occasion to foreigners to exercise authority within the territory of " JOSE CLEMENTE PEREIRA. the empire, which is manifestly contrary to its independ ence, prejudicial to its interests, and prohibited by its laws ; • his Majesty orders your• Eicellency to intimate to those Monks that tile) , are prohibited on every principle from obeying .foreign superiorS ; and that if they wish to con tinue to reside . in this Empire, they must immediately take measures to shew that they are released from all obedience.whatever. to such superiors, as has been done in the same case by the Benedictine Monks, whose praise worthy example the said Carmelites should have already imitated. " JOSE CLEMENTE PEREIRA. " To Jose E. Gordelhio de Barbuda, Palace of Rio de Janeiro, July 28, 1828." A similar notice has been sent to the President of the pio vince of Para, and to the Vice-President of Maranhao, re specting the Franciscan monks residing in those provinces. (These papers contain the Proclamation of Senhor Val dez, late Governor of Madeira, dated 22d June ; they do not even allude to the relations.) We have received a Barbadoes Paper of the Bth August, which mentions that by the Antigua Papers, received by the mail boat, it was in contemplation of the Legislature to vote that 500 guineas be presented to Dr. NUGENT, the late Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court, who it will be recollected lately resigned his seat in consequence of the Governor, Sir P. Ross, having suspended all proceedings in the Court, in the matter of the decree in favour of the owners of Slaves seized by the Collector of the Customs, notwithstanding the universal feeling in favour of the Judge. It is suggested that such a sum drawn from the Public Treasury of the Island, in its present exhausted state, is im proper. The Nuremburgh Correspondent to the 19th inst., received this morning, contains nothing of any political interest : CASSEL, AUG. 16. Several of the Commissioners assembled here to conclude a commercial convention have lately left this city, in order to get new instructions from their respective Courts.—. Though there are many reports respecting the proposals made by some of the Commissioners to the resolutions taken in consequence, nothing is, in fact, certainly known. It seems that the States are of opinion that it is not at pre sent expedient to form a third Association in Germany, which might form a kind of opposition, and do more harm than good to trade ; thty rather design to come to a mutual agreement that none of them shall, during a certain period, or without the assent of the others, join either of the two Associations already existing (viz. that of Prussia and some of the North German States, and that of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, &c.) The real object of the States interested is to induce all the German States to unite in establish ing a uniform system of import and export duties on the frontiers of Germany, and to take mea sures of ,re taliation against ary other which should refuse to alleviate the oppressive system now exist ing. If this is the principal object, we have only to wi s h for unanimity ; but some of the states are said to desire that the subjects of every State, trading in the dominions of another, should have the same rights as the native subjects of the State. This, though it may seem desirable, would not be easily effected on account of the different system of taxation in the several States. VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—Metalliques, 951 ; Bank Shares, 098. We give the following from the Times of this morning; "if true"—as Jonathan would savingly observe, it is most momentous information, and must be the means of bringing the affairs of the East to an almost immediate crisis. But Eng land will surely never tamely witness a blockade of the Dardanelles—an attempt on the part of Russia at variance with time spirit of his MA JESTY'S last Speech from the Throne. Go vernment must decide, and that at once, on the subject ; to which end the Cabinet Council, as we understand, was summoned yesterday. " A slight rumour has been current on 'Change for the last two days, that the whole Russian naval force now as sembling in the Archipelago 1611 proceed to blockade the Dardanelles. This report has gained more. credit this evening than it was previously thought to deserve, and is said to rest on intelligence to that effect received by Go vernment. The blockade, in fact, is not improbable; for cute of an effective kind established in that channel, as sisted by that of the Bosphorus, would occasion the most serious annoyance to the Turkish capital. It is not likely, on another hand, that the Russian naval reinforcement lately sent into the Mediterranean was merely detined fur an idle cruise." In another part of our Paper we have inserted a letter from a Correspondent, on the subject of the Brunswick Club, written in that equable and temperate strain which is necessarily the adjunct of truth. The argument at the present moment is worth . attention, more especially as the most bare-faced attempts are every where making to involve the nation in turmoil, -to relume the embers of bigotry, and, under the sounding name of " Constitution," to renew all those civil and religious altercations which disgraced the latter part of the last century. Another Lord GEORGE GORDON—an exact model of that Nobleman in every thing but his intellect—seems likely to arise in the person of my Lord NEWCASTLE. Luckily, however, the day is past when such a phrenzied Aristocrat could be attended to ; the day of the torture, the stake, and the faggot, is over—fanaticism, whether in Protestant or Ca tholic, is at its last gasp ; High Toryism at a discount ; and the tears of Lord ELDON as uni versally unheeded as the smiles—notwithstanding their fascination—of Lord ELLENBOROUGH. • With respect to the Brunswick Clubs, in par ticular, it is quite manifest—despite their bluster, numbers, anti apparent influence, which we will allow, are somewhat imposing—that they are a failure. In England, they excite wonder ; in Ire land, disgust ; and in both, ridicule. They stand forth, absurdly prominent, in the very front of the age, as if they anticipated the assertion of some future historian that the nineteenth cen tury was one eminently c haracterized by wisdom, toleration, and liberality. This, of itself, is fully sufficient to prove that net even the most miraculous abilities can make a bad cause re spectable. The Brunswick Clubs are failures, though supported by the captivating eloquence of that sportive logician, his Grace of NEw , CASTLE ; they are failures, even though-tiy WI Nc ti EL SEA lends them the benefit of his pr o found experience and sagacious intellect ; th e): are failures, miserable failures, though LortlNPr: BURY throws round them the intolerable radial ° of his judicial acquirements ; though Archtleact° TRENCH supplies them with charity ; Sc. geant .
