CORK, JULY 20.;.- - ThCS entertainment took place at the Chamber of Oatilinerce last evening ; and whether we regard it in ryietith to the proud event out of which it arese, or the ptqceedings to which it gave rise, it was perhaps the most in teresting and important political meeting, considering the eventful crisis at which we have arrived, that has taken place in this city for many years. The chair was well and efficiently filled by Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P. ; the Vioc-P. esidents were Francis Barnard Beamish, Req. ; Francis Stack Murphy, Esq., M.P. ; W. S. Perrott, Esq., of Fermoy ; Daniel Clanchy, William Fagan, Charles Sugrue, and Francis Lyon, Esqrs. About three hundred sat down, and amongst them were present Vie leading Liberal characters of city and county. The cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said that the first toast of the evening, he had no doubt, was anticipated—it was their good and gracious Queen.— ( Cheers.) With great pleasure he pro posed" the Queen— the star of Ireland's hope—may the clouds now gathering fail to obscure its glory, or shut out its radiance from a faithful people. The toast was received with boundless enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN—The second toast on his list was that of "the People." They had just toasted the source of honour ; they would now drink the source of power.--(Cheers.) " The People—the Irish people—the day is come for them to spurn provincial degradation, and to assert the honour and indepen dence of their religion and their country."—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—The next toast was that of " the Princess Royal, Prince Albert, and the rest of the- Royal Family re sident in England."—(Cheers.) It needed not that he should explain the 'exception indicated by the terms of the toast. Everybody present was well aware of .the cause. Irishmen loved and respected that portion of the Royal Family by whom they in turn were loved and respected. He need say no more— the exception was single, and it was necessary to be more ex plicit.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—Her Majesty's Government deserved well of the people. They may not—he thought they would not — be long in power ; but it was due to the Melbourne Adminis tration to say that but far the difficulties they had to encounter —now proved to be insurmountable—they would have passed measures of general local policy, which, if administered in a kindred spirit with that by which they had been conceived, would have placed the country in a position of political lade prudence and national prosperity hitherto unknown.—(Cheers. The Hon. Chairman concluded by proposing " Her Majesty's present Ministers. Under every disappointment let us never forget that their principle of Government was justice to Ire land." _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said that by the sanction and advice of their honoured guest, he had reversed, in the order of proposal, the two next toasts on the list.—( Hear, hear.) The occasion of assembling together Was to do honour to Mr. O'Connell—to test those principles of legislation now relied upon by him as the only means by which Ireland could be saved. Yes, they had assembled to uphold, in his person, the great struggle now being made for Irish independence.—( Tremendous cheering.) He had the undivided support of the independent interests of the county and city of Cork—(Cheers.) There was but one great and grand measure by which the liberties of Ireland would be secured, and her prosperity promoted. 1 know, continued the Honourable Chairman, you anticipate what I mean. Gentle men, eitizens of Cork, country gentlemen !—it is the Repeal of the Union.—(The company rose, and one irrepressible shout of exultation burst from them. The cheering, which was deaf ening, continued for several minutes.) Atter the many ages of darkness—after the long misrule of England—at that period when Ireland was beginning to taste a meagre portion of liberty in what Grattan designated free trade, and when the Catholics were in part enfranchised—at the period the' Tory aristocracy, lured by bribe 3, lent themselves to the Minister of the day in his atrocious designs of depriving Ireland of her Parliament.—( Cheers. ) Well, they succeeded, and ever since the passing of the blighting Union, the people of Ireland had to send their representatives to a foreign country.—(Vehe ment cheering.) Had Ireland improved since that period? Hadn't England, by bad laws and bad feelings, kept down and depressed the energies of the country? Circumstances had rendered his residence in Englatid for a considerable portion of his life necessary; and whether in or Parliament, he had ever been of opinion of England felt no sympathy for tr cheering.) Domination, re marked the acts of Err.' arrived when Irel- out at aiat the people et Iteland,--(Lond and oppression had to Ireland ha the ptried had .ad wetild rd longer 'bra( the tyranny t.rraure the orstotAslon.—( Great cheeritn:. ) no u-as that nothing short of domestic government ~atd satisfy Ireland. We had tied England long and fre quently, but she hid done nothing but ill treat us, and that inceUirtvertibly, the case, he would, with a degree of satisfacitith scarcely to be expressed, propose "The Itepealz-T- - England has pronounced against Ireland 1 Thu petal rode or legislative independence is the alternative. Ireland must be a nation or nothing." And ) uotttinued the Chairman, " O'Con nell—lreland's Liberator from religious bondage—may it be his destiny, as her regenerator, to sound the trumpet of her social and political resurrection, and proclaim to the world that, as a nation, she is not dead, but sleepeth." The toasts, thus associated, were drunk amidst tritirepbaht enthusiasm, the whole company on their ifts, cheering for at —would no' Certai- least ten minutes. - - Mr. O'CoNKELt. rose, and WA s hailed with repeated rounds of applause, the most prolonged and deafening. When he could at length obtain a. hearing he said—l never in the whole course of my life felt so anxious to make a long speech as Ido at this moment.—(Cheers and laughter.) Like old Doglyerq, I would say, " and though it. were three the es told I would have the heart to bestow it all upon you." I do not believe that there is that man amongst those whom I now behold sur rounding me who would calmly submit to bear the yoke of British tyranny. (Loud cries of " No, no.") No ; you have come, I have come, we all have come here for other purposes. We have assembled on this occasion to speak, to think aloudi, . . . - upon the present aspect of political affair's--upon the Aliti aspect of the solemn crisis at which Ireland has arriVad. Wt have now something in our minds that is of vast Importance, and the firstthing we have to dais to ask this question, has any coun try in the world, since the history of man was first told, suffered so much from the injustice of any . other as Ireland has s‘kfL fered by the cruelty and injustice inflicted on has by Eng land ?—( Cries of " Never,") Never has any country suf fered so much, and though I have ofttn said this befete, will repeat it over and over again, and reiterate it Until it becomes infixed on the mind of every hatnett being.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, then, let that with be the basis of the future action of every Irishman. Here are two countries closely connected to each other by mutual inter> est and benefits; the one ever ready to join in acts of the most devoted affection And allegiance ; the other in return for that trying to inflict upon her every cruelty and in justice that the most diabolical imagination can conceive.— (Hear ' hear, hear. ) That has been the course adopted towards Ireland by England ever since the connection be tween the two countries was formed.—(Hear.) Robbery, con fiscation, murder, every infliction that the imagination of a de mon could conjure up has been inflicted upon Ireland by Eng land.—(Hear, hear.) I ask it of the English themselves; I ask it of the men of France, I ask it of the Germans, I ask it of the Spaniards a veho are now coming into life—of America—. let every nation of the earth hear it—has there ever been auth a history of crime committed by one country upon another, as that indicted by England upon this country ?—( Hear, hear, and cheers ) This is no exaggeration.—(" No, no.") There are too many facts before us of the horrible reality, and let every man of yen carry it home with him and repeat it over and ever again until it makes a deep and lasting impression,- , -- , (Hear, hear.) Let it be repeated every where and often, ttit tit the children shall join in the cry, until the youth who is bursting into manhood shall boil and burn with indignation at the cruelties inflicted on his native land, and until the man, as he advances into old age, shall direct the coarse to be pur sued for the amelioration of those wrongs, by moderate ()Ileac - - ment, but also by fixed determination.—(Long centieeeed cheering.) I may be told that if England continues ea tarry on this reckless career of violence, she cannot continue to de ee without incurring consequences that aro fearful VI contem plate, or that England will see that she is wr'„ ug in her trest went of Ireland, and that she will hold.,, ut the pleasing pion s pect of doing something better fob us i n f uture. rp u t b el reply by asking what are ", present prospeets-what Wave we now to expect?—( .. Cruelty.") Yet, 1 heee 'been well answered, nothing b .et cruelty,—( Hear, hear). Here then is There are 137 irembers returned to the no exagqrat eu .' new P r. ..dement, and how do they feel towards unfortunate Ire'.and? There are just 22 out of the 137, who are favowri• . able to Ireland, and 1 will not answer for it that these 22 are over anxious about our welfare.—(Hear, and laughter. ) What have we to expect from this formidable array of our enemies against our friends that stand in a proportion of 137 to '22? It is no ordinary threat that this majority hold out. The organs of that party who compose that majority have ever—oh, but you are so familiar already with their language that it has now become trite and common to your' ears—but do they not call you, the people of Ireland, a "felo nious rabble ?" have they not stigmatised your priests as " sur 'diced ruffians?" have they not applied to your holy religion the name of "a vile idolatry ?"—( Hear, hear, and loud cries of " They have, they have.") And recollect, that the party who sustain those moans, who practise this language towards us, are the men who have been sent into the new Paella. ment.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Were we committing any crime to deserve this ? No ; Ireland was never so tranquil. (Loud cheering.) No; there never was so much acqiii escence and readiness expressed to forget bygone injuries, and respect for the administration of the laws as for the few years that have passed.—( Cheers.) There never was so notch affection evinced by a people for their rulers as during that period in Ireland, because that affection was sanctified by a reverence for the Sovereign.—( Cheers ) At such a period, if a foreign enemy serried its ranks and dared to threaten Eng land, Ireland, with the bound of a lion, would rush to arms and assert the independence of the British Throne.—(Hear and cheers.) But at this very time, when Ireland trusted most, confided most, in England, she was met by acts of the greatest cruelty—yes, that is the word, and I thank the gentleman for it. She has ever been met by continued and repeated tets of cruelty from England.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") I peotest that whistling jigs to mile-stones would be an act charac terised by good sense and intelligence, compared to the L i n who goes into the present Parliament expecting justte f rom i t by any other means than repeal.—(Loud ch7..,eas.) Of what use are those expectations ?—( Hear, he-mac.) Look at the ac cumulation of injury and injust; „e have emtetedt they form a sort of olio of mephif e vapour, a tongtegateu pesti lencen.CHtefer.to,Vear,lalnndd cheers.) c Am I wrong in what we have when ontrasted with what Ireland wantel—, Look at the sti ng y measures in stating tl',,s?—(Ne) 'no.) of coreel: . ate tefetia they have given us ; is that not One of the V.ving etitices of England towards 'lreland ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) I3y the English Corporate Reform Bill every non in England can be a burgess who is assessed to the pour rate, while in Cork no man can be a burgess Who it tint assessed to the amount of 101. rent as a householder. How there can be any, the most distant, hope Uf obtaining from England equality in that measure ?- , -(Cries of " None. ") Look at the Reform Bill passed for Ebgland, and the part we toik to give that Act to the Engliali people.—( Hear.) In fact it was we, the Irish Members, who carried that measure. There was a majority of English Members against it; there was a mejerity of Scotch Members against it—lreland cut-numbered both, and it was the majority of Irish Members that left the balance in favour of that measure for the English people. ( Loud cheers.) And what did Ireland receive for that? Why, I need only refbr to your present position, to your mise • rably limited franchise. Cork has 700,000 inhabitants—she has but 3,000 voters—that is to say, about one person in ever y 200 of the whole population of this great county has a vote.— (Hear.) Is that justice or reform?—(Loud cries of " No, no.") Look at the Church Establishment in England and in Scotland, and then think of that in lreland.—(Hear, and cheers.) In England the ecclesiastical revenues go to support the Church of the majority of the people.—( Hear, hear.) The ecclesiastical revenues of Scotland go to support the Church of the majority in that country.—( Hear, hear.) How is it in Ire land? Who are the majority?. 0, I need not ask you, ( Hear.) Many of my excellent and most valued Protestant friends join ire in this, for they know it is opposed to conscience and integrity that we should be compelled to pay for the main tenance of a religion we believe to be false.—( Hear and cheers. ) When I recollect how the clergy of that Church which we are compelled to support, though we believe its doctrines to be false, have abused and vilified, and calumniated -our religio n , and low they still-continue to vilify and calumniate it while they rob us of our money, am I not warranted in accusing England of gross injustice and ingratitude to us ?—(Loud cries of " Hear" and cheers.) And, let me ask, what hope have we that the present Parliament will remedy that giant, evil ? (Hear, and cries of None.") We have, instead of 175 Irish THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JETLY 22, 1841. representatives, the lowest number we should have, only 105 is the English House of Commons, yet does any one who h ars am imagine he can kentecty those, or any of these grievances, in the Bi.itish Parliament.—(Cries of "No, no, never.") When I lag addressed you I told you I had to contend with the hostility o the House of Lords, but that was trivial compared to the pre. sent aspect of affairs, fur now that the House of Lords is bul. warked up by a House of Commons that will be infiniteh worse than the Lords—a house that will have embodied in it personification of. all the worst of the bad passion; and preju dices of the English people—( Hear)—who will be youi judges ?—(Hear. ) Oh, you anticipate me—they will be'f'ore partizans—men who, bigoted at all times, rendered a thousant times more so by disappointment, entertaining the moo deadly hatred for you ; those are the man who will be made judges, and when your lives and liberties are to b.. pleaded for will be placed at their mercy.—(Hear.) Oh, you know them well and can name them yourselves without nse assistance.—(Cries of " Lefroy, Jackson, Litton.") Yes, you have upon the bench a class of bigotted men, clothed itt ermine, " the unsullied ermine," who with meek and gentle aspect will take their seats as the arbiters of your lives and fortunes, who hide the claw beneath the crimson velvet. Oh, I can endure anything but a Judge who hangs because he hates, and robs because he is bigotted.— (Hear, hear, and shouts of applause.) But perhaps we trill have are medy in party sheriffs, such as poor Deeble—(Loud laugh-. ter.) Dou't you think you will get worse even than him, or than his namesake ?—(Laughter. ) A gentle.uan once asked a poor man who was at work in a field in Tipperary, " Whose is that fine house beyond?" The poor man sail, " Colon& Foote's, Sir." " What kind of man is he ? " He's vvors« than the devil."—(Laughter.) "And whose fine house is that opposite it " That is Colonel Pepper's, Sir." " What kind of man is he ?" " He's worse than Colonel Foote, Sir, whe is worse than the devil."—(Laughter.) So it will be with the sheriffs you will have ; fur you will get one worse than the devil, and another worse than him.—(Laughter.) Oh, I forgot you still have one protection, sure you have the trial by Jury ! But there, too, you are mistaken, for recollect that the one great accusation against .Lord Melbourne's Government in Ireland was, that he gave justice to the wretches in the dock.—( Loud cheers.) Yes. Leather-lungs Jacksone— (Laughter)—made it a ground of accusation against the Go vernment that they gave directions that no man should be objected to as a juror on account of his politics or religion. —(Cheers.) . Yes ; it was actually made a charge against the Government that they gave directions that the Crown prosecutors should not set aside a juror because they had no cause to do so.—(Laughter.) Will the Tories not object to men who are objectionable only because they are just. and honest ? Oh, yes they wit', and they will have jurors in plenty, ay, as many as would "thatch a gallows"—(Great laughter.) Well, what sort of Magistrates will ye have ? ( Hear. ) Heaven knows, bad as Lord Plunket was, and he made many bad Magestrateie.that wet leniency itself to what the Tories will do.—elicae;elear.).e'Perhaps it may s be said that the leaders of .the' 'peify will stet be So Unjust. I wish to Heaven I could elellide 'myself into that belief. Is it Peel, whose attempt to gain power we have thwarted! Peel, whose pride we trampled down, to have for gotten that, and not revenge it? It is not in the nature of the man not to be revenged.--(Heap liCah) Wa, he not the man who armed this Country with a mob of Orange. men who Catholics placed arms men who thirsted for your blood ?—(He ar , h ear .)

You have, to serve the objects of the party for which you have de serted your own, made statements which, as a practical agriculturist, you must have known are delusive. Your Lordship is far too well versed in agricultural details, to place the slightest reliance on the correctness of the statements with which you treated your political sup porters at Lancaster. You well knew the intellectual calibre of those you were addressing, and took ad vantage of the occasion to " rig the yokels," as your Lordship would elegantly express it. Facts and figures, though produced by a peasant, cannot be over thrown by bold assertions, though emanating from st . Lord. No one knows better than your Lordship does, that the prosperity of agriculture must depend upon the amount of capital employed, and upon the judgment with which that capital is invested. Your Lordship must also be well aware, that, under common tillage, the number of returns per acre upon the seed sown is the legitimate test by which rent can be justly apportioned ; and that in a healthy political state, unshackled by legislative intermeddling, the prices of agricultural produce will al ways be fairly regulated by the proportion that the sup ply and the demand bear to each other. In your Lord ship's reported Lancaster addresses, high prices are assumed as identical with remunerating prices, and treated as essential to the prosperity of the agricultural community. A greater fallacy could not be propounded. I will not so far libel your Lordship's understanding as to suppose that such a proposition was laid down with any other view than to answer a temporary party pur pose, and to prove how far your Lordship might pre sume upon the gross ignorance upon agricultural affairs, that pervaded the great bulk of the Tory constituency then assembled. High prices upon agricultural produce do not constitute remunerating prices, but remunerating :prices constitute agricultural prosperity. Corn, by being .made by a tax to sell at higher prices than what will fairly remunerate the agriculturist for its production, in flicts an injury upon every honest portion of the com munity. Remunerating prices, however low they may be, are not only beneficial to those employed in trade and manufactures, but the well-being and prosperity of the agricultural classes are essentially dependent upon realizing them. Taking the agricultural statistics, as laid down by Mr. M'Queen, to be correct, the land rents of the 'Cnited Kingdom do not average quite 16s. 6d. per acre. And, according to the same authority, if the Kingdom was equally divided, every 146 acres would have located upon them sixteen and a half indivi duals employed in or directly dependent upon agricul ture. The rent - would be 120/., and there would be an nually ten acres under wheat, four acres under barley, and sixteen acres under oats. It is not important at present to inquire how the remaining portion of the land may be cropped ; but the value of the fat and lean stock, butter, cheese, milk, wool, poultry, &c., to be annually sold off from that extent of land, would be 260/. Accord ing to the beat agricultural authorities, taking the king dom through, the average quantity of seed corn, and the average returns per acre, and the prices per quarter, he stated as follows : _ _ . ...,.. Seed. ' Produce. Price. IVhent 3 bushels . . 24 bushels s6s. Barley 4 bushels ... 32 bushels 32s. Oats 5 bushels .... 40 bushels 24s. The Corn account, on 146 acres, would stand thus : £ s. d.

In proportion, therefore, as the returns are be low or above the average, so will the prices in the mar ket be higher or lower. With average crops, that is eight returns, the farmer will have to dispose of, beyond his own consumption of wheat and barley : In the market, to those not engaged in agri culture 62 6 0 X 8. d.

I than what will very evident that higher vertgopen co,- ....11 employedinto fairly remunerate the producer for Ow calm in its production, must be detrimental to the t:,ue rest of - agriculture. The quantity directly consume l; , 13 3 . agriculturists, and those depending upon them, is so erYoneously large in comparison with what they have to dispue of felt money in the that it is a matter of astonishment to maners, market, as myself, that it could have escaped thetatention of an individual so keen-sighted, and so practically.acpainted with agricul tural details, as your Lordship .is reported to be. I can only account for it by presunung that, when addressing our Lordship's your constituents at. Lancaster, yils object was mystification. Had your Lordship intende honestly to have m ooted th e p ractical bearings of the Corn-law, question, it is hardly possible that so important an item as the farmer's consumption, enormously great as it is, cou ld have essaped your observation. That item, fact, cons titutes the most important feature in case. For , however plausibly it may be urged that ill the high prices are benefieial tO the agriculturists as corn-growers, and that as pr oducers.protective laws are requisite, to foster their prosperity, still as consumers they, like every o ther class of the communit y , must contribute proportionate to the q uantit y consumecl, . a quota_ . by. t h em towards making up whatever amount may be levied under the fallacious d - esismation of a proteettve duty. The average FVENIN-i- SUN. amount of duty levied since the present law, has been fix operation, up to January_ 5, 1840, according to Mr.. M'Culloch's excellent pamphlet, has been.per quarter ss. 9d. on Wheat, ss. on barley, and 6s. I Id. on oats. The whole of the money thus levied must have been paid by the consumers, without any distinction of classes, ex actly in proportion to the quantity consumed. - If, there fore, the relative numerical proportions, between the' agricultural and the other classes, be laid down with tolerable accuracy by Mr. M Queen; the consumption by agriculturists and those directly depending on them will be, of wheat and barley, five-eighths, and of oats four fifths, of the whole quantity consumed. The total amount levied upon those three kinds of grain, in the period before stated, has been 4,451,2001. This suns must have been paid by the consumers in the following proportions, and the fact clearly illustrates the sort of protection that has been afforded to the agricultural classes by the present Corn-law : By Trades and By the Agricul - tural Classes. Wheat and wheat flour X 1,093,044 £1,821,740 Barley 184,812 308,020 Oats 208,716 834,864 £1,486,572 £2,064,624 The value of wheat, barley, and oats, required for seed in ordinary years will amount to upwards of 12,850,000/. ; and oats consumed in keeping, feeding, rearing, and fattening stock, will amount to upwards of 28,000,0001. ; making the total value, including the quantity consumed as food, of the wheat, barley, and oats, directly consumed by agriculturists, their labourers, and dependants, to exceed 71,216,0001. a year, whilst the annual consumption of all the other classes united does not amount to 31,600,000/.* This estimate is based upon data supplied by Mr. M'Queen's work, en titled " The Statistics of the British Empire," and cal culated upon eight returns. I need not remind you, - my. Lord, „that land which will not yield eight returns upon the qiantity of seed . per acre, as before specified, cannot remunerate the agriculturist for its cultivation under white, or grain crops. In such a case it is the business' of the landowner—a very different person from the 'agri culturist—to determine whether, by an outlay of money in permanent improvements, it can be brought up to, or about that standard of production ; and if it can, whe ther the rent will cover the interest of the outlay. That is a question solely for the consideration of the land owner. It is the land-occupier, or the agriculturist's province to consider whether the land is of such a quality, and in such a condition, as to justify him in calculating upon having such returns as will compensate Min for its cultivation at such rent as may be agreed upon. Per manent improvements, and improved cultivation, as far as the respective interests of the landlord and tenant, are very different things. • The landowner and .the land-oc cupier, as such, have _interest in common. Free, un shackled trade in corn ,is a stimulus indispensable to the prosperity of agriculture. Restrictive Corn-laws may afford temporary benefit to the needy and unprincipled portion of the landed proprietors, but they must be viewed with repugnance by every honest landed pro prietor, as being highly detrimental to the true interest of agriculture, and as being directly calculated to de grade and to oppress the indutsrious hard-working mil lions, composing all the productive classes throughout the empire. I am, my Lord, your obedient servant, Q. 0. ROBERTS. Castle Hill, Bangor, July 19, 1841. • See " Faats for Farmers," page 25. CORN-LAW THOUGHTS. BY AN ENGLISHWOMAN. A lady who formerly favoured us with some communications under the signature of English Joan, has collected and published a number of her letters on the" Corn-laws in a paciphlet. She thus appreciates the character of the I - louse of Commons and its Tory leaders in a lettee, iyhich we have not before seen : " We are concerned to say that the House of Repre sentatives, once the pride and trust of the nation , is fallen from its high estate ; all honourable persons are disgusted to find bribery practised at elections, to a most corrupt extent, large sums wickedly wasted, neither punish blessed to the giver or receiver, meriting severe ment and everlasting exclusion from your Zonourable House. What a deplorable state of things, when' Eng lish gentlemdn make a practice of seducing with m 0717 a poor man from his duty to his country and to himself. There are also many persons totally unfitted by nature forlegislators, shifting sands, useless sons of confusion, like Lord Stanley, who for a trifle will change sides body and mind, ' and that which he proved false before, prove true again.' A lawgiver must not lack wisdom or con sistency. Can the vaunted Sir Robert reach the proper standard ?—the ' man of plausihilities ' a Will-with-the - wisp, who never shines but to mislead—he who loves to progress by indirect means only, and can no mere pursue a straightforward course than the poor crab on the beach; Sir Robert would have made an excellent lawyer to de-. • fend bad causes with a thousand specious crafty wiles-- a fine leader of the Tories, indeed, proving a low tone of thought among them. We hope, trust, believe, the glo-, rious era fast advances when moral worth will be on the ascendant, when our rulers must act upon the sole prin ciple of governing the people fairly,- justly, wisely ; by' no other means can they for the future obtain the confi dence, esteem, and love of the governed." To the Bishops she puts these pertinent ques tions : " Has any Bishop ever given 9: vote in favour of the Slave Trade, or stood aloof from its discussion ? if so, he has quite mistaken his path, and been stumbling in utter darkness. Since inebriety is the parent of crime,-- has every Bishop fostered, countenanced, and cared for those checks to vice, Temperance Societies? the most re markable phenomenon of our day, springing from the people themselves,—long may they flourish! Have the Bishops loved on all occasions to solicit truth from her concealment? for she is still so little satisfied with our doings that she continues to inhabit her ancient deep re treat, to the great detriment of the whole human race ; would that we could see her bright diamond eyes con stantly in the midst of us, and that we might be virtuous enough to listen to her pure teachings, and wise enough to yield obedience to her heavenly laws. Do the Bishops and their clergy faithfully oppose themselves to the hor rid vice of bribery at elections? do they, by every means, instruct and communicate such knowledge to the poor as would raise them above such degradatiou, though tempt ed and misled by the rich and well educated, who un derstand the laws but viciously, and unscrupulously vio late them. Since good and equal government is favour able to the morality and most essential to the happiness of the people, do the Bishops, " in season and out of season," try to induce their compeers to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly ? or do they calmly and resignedly view the present turmoil, and suffer rank noxious weeds to overshadow, choke, and destroy the germ of every wholesome plant in the political field ? have the Bishops, as ministers of religion, been exemplars for the i nation, studiously anxious that all their words and ac tions should be found in harmonious accord with that most perfect moral code bequeathed to us for our sure guide by the ' auth9r and finisher of our faith ?' Have princely donations, from princely incomes, been un sparingly given for charity and for the service of the Church to build and repair ? If any Bishop votes in favour of the Corn-laws we shall esteem him one of the proximate causes of all the poor may suffer next winter. A very reprehensible dereliction from duty in a minister of the gospel. The sufferings of the poor are no fiction, but a sad and mournful reality ; yet ' the least of one of these ' is equal in the estimation of the Creator with the wearer of a mitre, lawn sleeves, and a silk apron. Since so much wretchedness is proved to exist, and to have long existed, surely it is not too much to expect that the Bishops and the clergy will close the carnal eye and open wide a more heavenward orb. We are rejoiced to find the women taking an active part in the good strugnie, and that they have adopted just sentiments which they express.. like the lady in forcible language. " English Joan" will have amongst reflecting females many mitators. -TT i s ronr aper a statement of 'ls' 1•••••••............ ----------- -.--- -- TO TEE EDITOR OF T.l'r SUN. atahemdiuscthrepssleoasfe3dlrst.oGfilneds and be . p family, through the unexpected death of her in band ; is Id T take the liberty to inform you, that, in conseqUenCe Ci that statement, the family have been visited by the 50+ cretary of the Accident nelief Society, and food will be given to the destitute family in proportion to the funds. _ Thus you have done much good ; and I trust that you willr;ontinue thus to promote the cause of real humanity, and -oblige, Sir, your's, truly, July 21, 1841. A SUBSCRIBER. ._ A GIANT BALLOON.—Last evening our towns people were entertained with the sight of, as. the b ill s termed it, " a giant m an balloon," which was sent up from London by. Mr. Green, some time since, and subsequently came into the possession of our resident firework-maker, ballooner, &c. Mr. stonestreet. The monster was inflated in the area of the Town-hall, and. when his spacious skin began to fill he exhibited the most ridiculous figure imaginable—his 'immense trunk rolling from side to side, as if impatient to disengage itself from its fastenings. At length, all being resAy, and a pilot having previously been started to show him his course, the giant was set free, and up he mounted, inclining rather backward, his head lolling on one side, his arms swinging about, and having to all intents and purposes the aspect of a jolly fellow who was no tee totaller, or who, if he were, had most indubitably broken his pledge. His apparently affected t w istings and turn ings raised shouts of laughter from the immense crowd assembled to witness his departure. But his flight was destined to be a short one—from some defect in one of his legs the gas rapidly escaped, and before he had soared half a mile he made a most graceful and gentle descent, feet foremost, and might easily have been fancied some f a b;,ll deity of old condescending to visit this lower persons were world.
