LONDON. 1828. Dr. Parr, independently of his great classical attainments, which his biographers have magni fied into something, miraculous, deserves to he handed down to posterity as a fine sample of that now almost- exploded class, the flogging schoolmaster. He was a stern unflinching flagellant, like Fielding's Thwackum, and by hammering knowledge into the head through the medium of the tail, conferred the most important benefits on his generation. Dr. heate, of Eton, and Dr. Valpy, of Reading, men a million times superior to the degenerate disciplinarians of the present day, are, we understand, worthy scions of the same excellent school. But alas! their day is past—their arms, like those of Ovid'S Milo, hang uselessly by their side—they can scarcely do justice to a chicken ; fait Ilium et ingens Gloria Teuerorom Of this fine - race Dr. Parr, was deservedly the idol, He flogged - with such scientific excellence —not that we would willingly disparage the talents of Dr. Keate in the same line—that it - did aleeling heart good to see him. There was no injudicious expenditure of birch—no random flourishes:—no rude inequalities of excoriation—the discipline_ was dignified and impartial—conducted on. : mathematical princi ples—faultless.as a work, of art, and more like inspiration than acquirement. Strange, - however, td say, notwithstanding the Doctor's acknow ledged genius in this line, his present biographers have passed him by with a silence bordering on contempt. One anecdote, alone transmits .to posterity the beauties of Parr as a flagellant ! We are reminded in every page of his amazing profundity, his splendid sarcasm, his wit, his fancy, and his wig ; yet - of his powers of judi cious flagellation we hear nothing. That this cannot proceed from ignorance, the volume throughout abundantly proves, for men of all ranks and standing in literature, _most of whom were on intimate terms with the much aggrieved subject of their praise, rush forth to contribute their stores. The first of these• worthies is a clergyman named Stewart, who prefaces his de tails of the Doctor with a copious catalogue of his own lucubrations in prose and verse. Anxious to do homage to Parr, and at the same time to blend instruction with entertainment, he informs us that— " The day before I started from town, 1 dined tele-a-tele with a gentleman of much celebrity in Linealn's-inu-fields, when the subject of.my next day's journey came naturally on the tapis. I was asked—' had I ever met Parr ?'— Never.' Well, then, thank your stars that you have met with one able to furnish you with useful hints about him. He has no manners. You must expect none. He is a bear ! . Wherever he goes, you, are. suffocated with his beastly use of tobacco. To be sure, he is a lump of learn ing ; and when I have said that, I have maid all. I repeat, Sir, you will see a lomp of learning—nothing more!' " Too learned to be a pedant, and too pious to be a pre tender, he freely poured forth the copious stores of his ex haustless knowledge, to improve his fellow-men, and hung up the blazon of his honours in the shield of Ms liberality." The Doctor's colloquial, powers, writes Mr. Stewart, were extraordinary—en yowl— " Some time before his decease, he had made the ac quaintance of a most learned and exemplary prelate of the sister kingdom, who had !ought the Chalybeate of Leam ington fur the restoration of health. The Archbishop dined at Hatton, and the Doctor showed off upon the oc casion in a style to distance all competition. His volubi lity was so extreme, that the Prelate ceased to do honour to the substantial repast before him, crossed Isis knife and fork upon his plate, and sat in mute astonishment at the phenomenon." The idea of an Archbishop preferring Parrs conversation to a good dinner is marvellous, and not to be thought of without astonishment. Of the Doctor's irascibility Mr. Stewart says, " I could compare his bursts of passion to nothing but the tropics, so fierce, so appalling, so sudden. There was no distant rolling ("the thunder, it burst upon the head at once." How awful ! how imaginative ! Of Parr's " unusual bril liancy" we have the following specimen "Parr and I were on a visit about twenty miles from Hatton. One day we Were sumptuously regaled with part ti a fat buck, from the park of a neighbouring Nobleman. The dish was iu high repute with the Doctor, and the flattering politeness of the donor, the cordiality of our host, and the excellence of the venison combined to make Parr more than usually brilliant over this favourite repast. lie left table in oue of his happiest tempers. • During coffee, he placed himself on a sofa, among a bevy of young ladies, and in his loudest key, summoning me from the opposite end of the room, thundered forth--' Stewart, do you mean to play the fool to night ?" Nu, Doctor, I do not feel inclined.' I don't believe you, and for two reasons ; the first is, be cause you are an Irishman; the second is, because you are a man of genius. As for myself, I 14e I shall, play the fool as long as I live.'" As a sample of the Doctor's judgment (no wonder that Mr. Stewart thought it infallible); we are treated with the following. Its modesty and perfect freedom from egotism are by no means its least recommendat:ons When we passed through Warwick, the London Papers, .that arrived that day, had been put into the coach at the Post Office, and I had occasionally read parts of them aloud as we proceeded. to Stratford. Upon leaving the latter. place, Parr did me the honour to bear a too partial, testimouy to my reading. Stewart,' said he, ' you are a superior reader—you read most distinctly. I tell you, Sir, you are both ax agreeable and energetic 'reader. Proceed ; it gives use pleasure to hear you.'" Speaking of the Doctor's friendship, Mr. Stewart informs us, with a pompous gravity wor thy of Gibbon, that hi insisted. on his wearing two waistcoats or two shirts, whichever he chose, (he should have made him wear all four,) when he quitted Hatton. Of his poetical judgment we have this equally characteristic proof " One morning. be (Stewartdoquitur) sent. far me to attend him in his library. I found him seated at one side of the fire, Mrs. Parr leaning against the mantel on the opposite, .and a chair placed for me between them. ' Mrs. Parr,' he began, you have seen Moore it, this spot some time ago; you now see Mr. Stewart. The race of true poets is now nearly extinct. There is you,' turn= i ng to me, and Moore, and Byron, and Crabbe, and Campbell,—l hardly know of another. You, Stewart, are a man of genius, of real genius.' " Passing this gentleman " of genius, of real genius" we Parr, criine to another who sig n s hi mse lf a Pupil and whose best anecdote is th e of following :-- 1 re member an instance of the Doctor's servant tor'sattat broughtnthienttr) his: fr him aienndost'e, on g af w re l r i: l h he dinner, the cried out Jemmy is come,' and rising from his seat, soon left his boys." This " Jemmy" was Sir James Macintosh. Our next biographer, is " a Minister of the Established Church. This individual is as " famous for his courage as Mr. Stewart for his modesty. lie is actually afraid to look the Doctor in the face ; the least glance of his eye' electrifies him. _Necking ,of Parr, when ani mated, he says in ,one-place, I .was speechless, and.astounded with fear." . In another, " I was panic-struck with _apprehension ;" in another, Parr's ferocity, Was "' ferocity in all its wildest grandeur ;" " the flash of his anger was in expressibly terrific." Of the Doctor's portraits, " one," he observes, " is too seraphic, not suf ficiently mortal." This is exquisite. An old schoolmaster, with a tobacco pipe in his mouth, and a red night cap on his head, looking too seraphic ! not sufficiently. mortal ! ! " Oh, gracious," as young Millainant says in the play, " hold my sides, or I - shall split." But, as if this anecdote were not of itself abundantly ridi culous, our " Minister" indulges us still further with the following. By it we are let into the highly important information that Parr was fond of good eating : " Parr was fond of a shoulder of 'mutton roasted. I have heard him give directions that it should be sent. to table, covered with a brown incrustation of salt and flour. His favourite part of - the joint, to which he liked to help himself, liras that whiO contained nothing but fat—it lies opposite the pact which is first carved. This he would cut, not into slices, but into a large circular lump." Our next historian is a Mr. John Symmons, (or John Symrnons, :Esq.; of Abermarlais, Llandovery, South Wales, as with laudable accu racy he delights to style. himself), who to the modesty of Mr. Stewart, and the brilliancy of the "Minister," adds beauties peculiarly his own. In every line he takes special care tolet us know, by some hacknied classical quotation, that John Symmons, - Esq. of Abermarlais, Llandovery, South Wales, is a very first-rate scholar. Latin in italics, and Greek in small capitals, glitter in his text, like stars ;. and , e need scarcely add, are '.the only brilliarifthingS, in it. In speaking of Parr's favourites, among whom he indirectly ranks himself, he. says :--- . _ 4 , Woe to the mediocres and pretenders! who came within his grasp,—those persons who frequently bear down modest men of real learning and genius, as iEneas and his companions did the Greeks, by assuming theit arms ( Graiarum errore jobarum.) All suel► persons na turally disliked him in- proportion as all those, who were really gifted both in endowments of head and heart, loved and esteemed him ;" thereby inferring that these only who , 4 were really gifted both in endowments of head and art," (like John Symmons, Esq. &c. &c.), had the opportunity of being friends with the Doctor. The following precious anecdote characteristically illustrates this gentleman's powers of mind; with him Parr's dress is, of course, of first-rate conse- aitience : " As I approached the house in a chaise from Warwick, I met the Doctor taking his ride, mounted on a stout pony, and habited in a loose zebra-striped great coat,—stripes brown and white,—a dress well known in all the neigh bourhood." Of a clergyman, a friend of Parr, Mr. Syni mons writes as follows : " This Clergyman was an excellent man, but rather stiff, starch, and shy, and, though very fond and tolerant of Parr, yet this sort of sallies, particularly before strangers, such as I was then, called -the eloquent Llood into his .clericol cheeks, which mantled with a momentary flush." The « clerical cheeks" (pray what sort o' cheeks are these ?) is a fine touch of the descrip• tive, (though whether of the " sublime" or "beautiful" we cannot say) ; nor must we omit ;he following - Tomentous bit of intelligence ; its line it is equally. .meritorious : " One morning, at breakfist, he said abruptly—' John you know nothing of the Greek accents ?' To which 1 replied, I believed I did ; on which, to try me, he gaVe several words, one after the other, and asked what accent, and on what syllable in each word it was placed? I an. swered seriatim, and happily I was right, at which he was much pleased." • We should be doing injustice both to John Symmons,Esq.of Abermarlais, Llandovery, Sotith Wales, and Mr. Barker, the Coryplueus of this biographic fraternity ; were we to omit noticing the amusing race of pedantry that is run for at least finty pages between them. Mr. Symmons, &c. is profound in the text, Mr. Barker astonish ing in the notes ; Mr. Symmons dazzles with Greek in one leaf, Mr. Barker electrifies with Latin in another ; Mr. Symmons shows off' at the. top, Mr. Barker at the bottom of the page ; while between them. both, the poor Doctor, as might be expected, is forgotten. But indeed is there one single anecdote throughout the volume, which serves in the slightest degree to do him justice either as a man or as an author? We hear in every page of his learning and profundity, &C., yet meet with not the slightest proof of either ; be stands forth throughout " Parriana as a mere pedantic old school-Master; not that he really was so, but that his biographers, whatever they may think to the contrary, have not penetration or talent to .discover and illustrate his worth. They have made him perfectly ridiculous ; have prosed over his eccentricities when they should have looked to his intellect, and informed us how he smoked, ate, drank, and rode ; when they should havebeen analysing his peculiar turns of thought, and fixing hint on his proper pedestal as an author. Of Mr. Barker himself, the Magnus 4pono of this 'nosing, long-winded squad, we know little, except that he is the editor of the Germany, and Agricola of Tacitus, the text of which bears about the satne proportion to the notes, that Falstaff's halfpenny-worth of bread bore to his long'tavern bill of sack. At present this plodding Gerund-grinder is, we understand, busy with an Index to Stephen's Thesaurus, and truly such drudgery is far better adapted to the 'mechanical quality of his intellect, than the super intendante of memoirs intended to develope the mind of an individual, who,—however ridiculous, vain, arrogant, and conceitedly puerile, the pre sent batch of biographers have made him, —was great (though - not first-rate) as a scholar, en lightened as a Christian, consistent as a politi cian,-belo'ved as a friend, and exemplary as a man. One word more : Messrs. Barker and Sym mons threaten, it seems, a continuation of " Parriana." In mercy we intreat them to de sist; they have made the - Doctor quite suffi ciently ridiculous, without any further additions ; while with respect to themselves - , really, in the way of absurdity, we know not what further laurels they can anticipate. Already they have covered themselves with as much ridicule as the imperfect limits of human nature will allow — what more can they desire ?

KENTISH BRUNSWICK CLUB. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. Sta—Bitsiness last Week called me to Maidstole, where I observed a more than usual bustle—a num ber-of sapient and 'remarkably well-fed looking per sonages parading the town with. an air of inflated importance, as if " Rig with the fate of Cato and of Rome." At first I imagined it might be a congress' to settle the affairs of Greece, or the Turkish war, and looked around for Prince Metternich, Pozzo- diXorgo, and the Reis Effendi, but was soon informed that' these all-important looking worthies Were the rump of the " Lives and Fortune men" of some twenty sari= mers past, originators of, and spouters at, a rrirOetihi for establishing a "Brunswick Club," of Which an account has appeared in your Journal ; upon which subject I therefore should not have troubled you, had not accident placed a document in my posses sion which throws some additional light upon these club orators and their club oratory. The following morning having particular occasion • for waste paper, " Boots" at the inn, who hap pened also to be sweeper of . the Town Hall, sup plied me with some he had picked up when eier-; cising the latter vocation, part of which was unfor tunately disposed of without perusal, but from what remains, the whole appears to have been intended as a glossary, to explain the terms used by the spouters, interspersed with some bye-laws for the club, displaying,'in its double character, the' infinite foresight and talent of the clubbists as much, as without some such previous explanation, the wise acres who were prevailed on to attend the meeting might have been scared away by the bloody yell, and left the orators without ar , i audience. The following is copied from the part remaining in my possession : Shea the last drop of blood„ r sh po n e o d t mean acrop t c t thheier members e bloodin any Knee deep in blood, cause ; tbe first and great principle Fight up to their knees in of the Club being to make others blood, fight, and to make all they can while others are fighting. Patriotism expense. Loyalty A glorious thing—Whon a man gets well paid for it. IA man who is not a Protestant, cud Catholic does not support the Brunswick Club. The above, Sir, is doubtless an admirable speci men of the whole, and the spout ers are splendid living examples of men acting on the principles there developed, and thriving accordingly ; but the last explanation seems so peculiarly lucid, happy, and compendious, that although short in stature, rather slim, somewhat nervous, and with the organ of anti-• combativeness strongly developed, I will undertake to fight the whole KENTISII BRUNSWICK CLUB, seriatim, if one in ten (without going to school) can give any other or better explanation of the dis tinction between Protestant and Catholic, than that above written—beginning with, Sir J. Bridges, who will " shed the last drop of his blood," and by courtesy (that he may be gratified by " fighting up to his knees in blood") finishing with the worthy Mr. Wells. The challenge, Sir, is serious and pub lic, and if the Kentish Brunswick Club do not answer the call, let them " hide their diminished heads." I would scorn to seek any advantage by reason of disparity of numbers—they may chuse their own ground—the streets of Maidstone, if they please—but I will tell these Brunswick Clubbists, that although their blood may taint the pure stream of the Medway, their opinions will never taint those of the public. Kent, Sir, appears to be a singularly favoured county—what other county can produce an equal galaxy of talent ? The Earl of Winchelsea, Earl Stanhope, Sir J. Bridges, and bloody Mr. Wells ! ! ! Patriotism, Protestantism, and hops, thrive side by side; the two former governed and graduated by the scale of duty on the latter, which makes the trio always rise or fall together. The ultimate. fate, how ever, of that unseemly abortion, " The Brunswick Club," is irrevocably sealed. Some great State magician will shortly, amid the grateful plaudits of the nation, lay the bloody spectre in the RED Sea, in which Mr. Wells and his colleagues may wade " knee deep" at their leisure, without disturbing the public, or being further noticed by, Sir, your constant. reader, A TRAVELLER.

Majesty's steam vessel Edo, Lieutenant Bullock, arrived here on the even- b f e ro p th ro-:cOtiSiCln con ing of the 19 th ult , and on the following morning the . Admiralty, and T Mr.l3tillock, the bearer of despatches of some ice. portance, came 011 shore and deliv ere d hi s desipatgttes fr seq uence, waited in . person upon the Tribunal d e Giterre, and the Comisernado Regin Especial,- then bfro ti t iti h dated theForeignB h A O u : L s . e t . engaged in trying the pirates. •On the following morning, the 91st, the pack'et , from England arriving, • 111 . i. George lkshby, mate; awl afterwards Com mander of the Morning; Sta? ; • Mr. Andrew Beyer man, steward ; and Seijeatit Charles Henry Wit. kinson, Royal staff corps, a passenger to the Tri initial de Guerre, were sent with the Secretary to the consul. After the witnesses had been duly sworn, and their declarations taken, they pro ceeded: to the prison, where twenty-six indivi duals Were placed in - .6 room, thirteen of whom were the pirates; the ‘-witnesses identified eight, six of whodi were on board the Morning Star. At the examination of theiroxes, bags, clothes, &c., brought by the pirates, the witnesses recognized many articles of wearing apparel, principally shirts, stockings, and socks, as belonging to the different passengers of the Morning Star, some to the late commander, who was murdered, and others to them selves; the greater part of the shirts were marked with ink, some had their names at full length, and others merely the initials. They also recognized a large trunk as belonging to poor Captain Gibbs; the sabre and belt did not belong to Major Logie, for - it had no arms upon it.; ,and the Oates have all declared that it was the sword of the original common der of their vessel, Pedre Marion de Souza Sarmento; there was on searching only one watch found in the pri son, a very common one, which none of the wit nesses recognized ; all the valuable ones, there is no doubt, Were part of the property smuggled on shore in the night at Pontevedra,, in Galicia. An inven tory was taken ,of them by the Spanish authorities at the time, and they will be ultimately restored to their original owners, whenever the pirates are executed. On the 22d, at day-light, the steam-boat arrived. The witnesses proceeded to the Comisernado Regio Especial. We entered the prison about 10 a.m., and after the declaration of the witnesses had again been taken nearly in the same manner as the previ ,ous day, by the Tribunal de Guerre, they again iden• titled the pirates; but it was not considered neces sary to re-examine the clothes. On the morning of the 23d the declarations of the witnesses were legally ratified, both at the Tri bunal de Guerre and at the Comisernado Regio Especial, and the Echo sailed the same evening with the witnesses for Gibraltar. The question of competency between the different tribunals here has been decided in favour of the Marine, and the trials of the criminals will commence forthwith. The witnesses sent out from England, it appears, have failed in identifying Benito de Soto, for this pirate, the principal person concerned in all the horrors committed by these criminals, never left his own vessel.- Mr. Shea, the professional gentleman employed in the prosecution of Benito Soto, at Gib raltar, arrived here on Friday afternoon by land, to ascertain from the Spanish authorities whether any and what evidence may be obtainable to supply the deficiency in the evidence against Benito Soto,•as there is one reason to believe that one or more of the crew of the Defensor do-Pedro were no_t will ingly concerned in the atrocious act of piracy com mitted while they were on board. Now, supposing this to be the case, of which, by the bye, there is no evidence at the present moment, are they not all equally culpable, for when they were at large for a week here, not one of them made any communica tion to any Spanish authority, and when they were apprehended, not any of them confessed till after the letter written in the prison by Manuel Antonio Ro drigues, to the owner of the vessel at Rio Janeiro, disclosing the whole history of the villains, was in tercepted by the authorities ? It is just possible that sonic of the guards who were employed on the beach for two or three days after the vessel was wrecked may be able to swear that they have heard Soto de clare that he was contra maestre (mate) of the De fensor de Pedro, from the day she sailed from Rio Janeiro to the day she was wrecked near Cadiz. The Echo, Lieut. Bullock, commander, arrived here on the 30th of August, at day-light, and towed the Plover, Lieut. Downey, from Gibraltar to Cadiz Bay, against a strong westerly breeze, in 18 hours. SFPT. s.—The new Captain General of- Marine, Queveslo, the successor to Topese, arrived here four or five days ago, from Ferrol and Seville; he went on Monday last to be installed at St. Fernando. I enclose you a copy of the royal :orders that came front Madrid respecting the pirates. Malver delivered up his directions immediately to the new Captain- General, but the Tribunal 'de Guerre have refused to deliver up their's till an order arrives from Ma drid, through the proper channel, to that effect. The Captain-General of Marine seems desirous to finish the business, but I am 'afraid, unless he can obtain permission from Madrid for those pirates to be tried by court martial, instead of by the tribunal, it will still be a tedious business. By letters received from Corunna, though not official, it is known that Nuno Pereira is in prison, one of the crew of the Defensor de Pedro, who deserted previously to the sailing of the vessel from Corunna, and two other marines are also in prison there, supposed to be Nicholas Fer nandez, and Antonio de Laida, who made their escape from this (Cadiz) on the• 17th of May. Should these two last prove to be the men we imagine, there will be in that case only one of -Me whole eren' missing, namely, Jose de los - Santos. There has been the same competition between the authorities at Corunna as there was here, and it is therefore rather difficult to get at the truth. I am happy to be able to inform you that Mr. Shea wrote yesterday to Gibraltar that the evidence hich we have been able to obtain will, in his opi nion, be sufficient to bring Benito Soto to trial there, without the necessity of the -evidence of any of the accomplices ; Mr. Shea, therefore, only waits the arrival of to-morrow's post from Gibraltar, to know if there be any fresh instructions for them, and if not he will start to-morrow evening for Gibral tar, and send here for witnesses whenever he may re quire their evidence. Soto's uncle, Jose Abaal, the person who smuggl'tl on shore during the night, at Pontevedra, the three boxes containing the jewels, watches, and all other valuables, is also in prison there . ; and Francisco Javeer Bravo, a merchant, and the Portuguese Vice-Consul at Pontevedra, who also assisted in smuggling the things on shore, and went over to Corunna by land to arrange there, is also in prison at St. Jago, a small village in Galicia, having escaped from Pontevedra. This is the 'run, vidual who gave a letter of introduction to Soto for a respectable merchant at Gibraltar, Mr. Natali Lepri.

A letter was published same time ago by Lord 1 4 K v ffon, an Orange-ascendancy Lord,--at least know nothing else about him,—and his let- er was a furious ascendancy letter. We thought it not worth the notice ; of any reasoning people, and therefore we did not advert to it. But the Orange fever is upon the whole faction, and another high priest of the ascendancy exhibits grave symptoms of that troublesome and dan gerous disease,--whether for good_or evil may be a question mooted by philosophers ; but of the fact itself we apprehend there can be little doubt, viz, that the. aristocracy of 'intellect does not dis- play an. abSolute and' entire coincidence in all - we might b e cases with that of hereditary rank.

Grace to be a f s o s r i e cn7; reason for remarking on the manifesto of the Noble Duke,. when that of his equally eloquent friend and compeer, above alluded to, was suf fered to fall still-born into the, kennel, we must freely confess that our motive is one of which few dialecticians will acknowledg e the dignity. Lord Kenyon was a little personage, — we in that line only with reference to which his Lo l (1- ship could pretend to any " personage's at all—. namely, in his rank and political influence over others. Now in these very respects we take the Duke of Newcastle to be a great personage. His Grace is reputed to have no less than twelve or thirteen Members of the House of Commons, who hold, their convictions, and indeed their consciences, on most questions o f s t a t e policy at t h e w ill and pleasure of his Grace. Lord Kenyon's conclusions as to right and wrong, and wisdom and folly, bear seldoM any perceptible relationship to his premises; and, iiideed,, do nor often lead one to suspect that his Lordship im troubled with any such thing as premises or grounds, whereon to build an opinion. But it is far otherwise with his Grace : the data from which he argues are palpable and pregnant,— there is a beautiful affinity between his Grace'N inference, even the most revolting and absurd, and the point whence he manages to arrive at it —insomuch, that throughout this long letter, there strikes us to be no one conclusion speci fied by this very eminent Statesman and Mem ber-of-yarliament•maker, which cannot be traced in a direct line to the principles already implied, whether expressed or not, on which stands the . _ _ whole edifice of his Grace's religious as well political speculations. The Duke of Newoqle . - , premises are in fact his Grace's hormuglis—iici, and copious materials, we admit, for supplying, such measures as he recommends, and such mo tives as he laboriously, though far from success fully, disguises. The business of the Duke of Newcastle's.letter is to make as general as he is able that bitter spirit by which his own mind 1 14 ,1 for years been animated, against the whol e body of British subjects who petition for rights withheld from them, but which are enjoyed by others. This seeming animosity of his Grace is not confined to the Catholics. In the same page wherein he depr eca t es a ll exten• sion of constitutional privilege to that sect, he vehemently deplores the repeal of the Test Act, and makes it a crime against the Duke of Wel lintiton, that the last session, by an " utter dere-. liction of principle, sought to appease those who were actuated by no principle but an hatred of order !" This is the language in which IDA hereditary judge of the realm speaks of the grem body of Protestant Dissenters. Though we have affirmed that there runs throughout this amiable production an obvious relation between premise and inference, so far as the state of the author's mind is concerned, we look in vain fo t any such connexion to the fc..rm of argument as;-: sumed by him. His 'Grace talks passionately upon the matter, but with more than Ducal dis regard to the plebeian dutieS of definition and demonstration. He tells the Government tlia4 it ought to act like " a good father of a fatally," but does not .illustrate with much felicity this paternal system by his continued persecutio, of the Catholics. He wishes to " preserve out religion and our laws," but forgets that he is. guilt - +, of a petitioprincipii, in assuming that the religion of Protestants would be injured by Catholic eon -- tentment, and that to maintain in all cases the ex i,ting laws, is neither more nor less than to abdi cate the right of legislation. So this fi gure of speech, " bane and antidote," the terms " honest and virtuous feeling," as applied to Oraugeism, " religious principles" as applied to the same Orangemen, are buffeted about with activity and profusion ;—but they prove no, thing—they convince nobody—they are just so much foam and fury. The Duke of Newcastle, being an owner of boroughs, talks of th e "purity" of our Protestant Constitution, h this cant ? No ; but his Grace is miserably blind. Being an owner of a good large slice of th e House of Commons, the Duke is a mono polist all over. He sees the Constitution only a s a preserve for the use of those whose pro perty it is. He therefore keeps all Peers out. of Parliament who have not seats already.
