One thing is pretty evident, and we cannot, nor • 'will not disguise the fact—the Administration Ltlreland is now essentially Roman Catholic.

(From the Dublin Eveniflg In the evening the New Lord Mayor entertained his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, at a splendid entertainment given in the King's Room. I ►► a d_ dilion to the members of the Corporation, the Lord Mayor invited a large portion of the Nobility and Gentry of the Metropolis and its neighbourhood, to meet his Excellency. Amongst those present, we observed the Marquisses of Downshire and Clan ricarde--the Earls of Rathdowne, Errol, and Howth --Viscounts Forbes, M.P., and Dungarvan---Lord F. L. Gower, the Provost, Sir John Byng, the Chief Baron, the Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir E. Lees, Colonel Blacker, the Hon. Capt. Le Poer Trench, R. F., Thomas Ellis, Esq. &c. &c. Altogether, upwards of four hundred persons sat down to dinner, which was served in the best pos sible style, and comprised all the delicacies of the season. The wines were of the very choicest flavour, and were supplied with the utmost profusion. After the cloth was removed, the Lord Mayor gave the health of " The King, and God bless him"---Three times three. " The Duke of Clarence."---(Cheers.) " The Duke of Cumberland"---Three times three, with tremendous cheering, and one cheer more for Protestant Ascendancy. The LORD MAYOR---I beg to propose a toast which I am confident will be drank with the greatest pleasure by every person present--- " The Lord Lieutenant and Prosperity to Ire land"--Three times three, accompanied with loud cheers. His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT then rose and said, my Lord Mayor, and Gentlemen, for your kindness in proposing my health, as the representa tive of his most gracious Majesty, I return my grate ful acknowledgments. Anxious as I am to contri bute to the prosperity of this country, and conscious as I am that I can pursue no course so likely to ef fect this as steadily looking after its interests I pledge myself to put forth every exertion t o effect this purpose, and to preserve and increase the tran quillity, happiness, and prosperity of this part of his Majesty's dominions.—(Much applause,)—Gentle men' give me leave to propose the health of " The Lord Mayor."—(Loud cheers.) The toast having been drank, his Lordship rose and said—My Lords and Gentlemen, I beg leave to return my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in drinking my health, and also to return thanks to the distinguished individual who proposed it. Gentlemen, I have this day commenced the du ties of an office which is of considerable importance, and to which great responsibility attaches. With the co-operation of my brother Magistrates and with the countenance of the hi g h er au th or i t i es , I hope to go through my year of office, giving satisfaction to my fellow-citizens in general, and with some benefit to the lower classes of society.—(Cheers.) " The Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Mi nisters."—(Loud cheers.) Lord FRANCIS LEVESON GOWER rose to return thanks. His Lordship commenced by regretting the absence of the Lord Chancellor, who would have been more competent to return thanks when such a toast was proposed. He nevertheless felt great happiness in expressing to the Lord Mayor, and the numerous and respectable company by which he was sur rounded, his gratitude for. the honour conferred en his Majesty's Ministers. - " Lord Melville.anith e Navy." " Lord Hill and the Army. —(Cheers.) Sir JOHN BYNO."--I rise , my Lords and Gentle men, to return you thanks for the honour you have done the Army. I know that Army well, and I think I may vouch for their ever continuing an honour to the country mad a terror to its enemies.— (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—Gentlemen, having drank the Army, .allow me to propose as a toast a scion of that stock. I know not how I could better de scribe the distinguished hero whose health I am about to propose; than in the language of the histo rian, who truly remarks, that " he was the first in the charge and the last in the retreat"— " The Marquis of Anglesea."--(Tremendous cheering.) The Noble MARQUIS then rose and said--My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen--I rise under consider- able embarrassment. I feel much my inadequacy to express my feelings. Never can I forget the recep tion I have met with in this country. I came here a stranger, you received me as a known and a fa miliar friend ; you took me upon credit, and I hope 1 never shall disappoint you, or exhaust that credit. (Applause.) Yet I ought not to say that lam a stranger to Ireland; I am connected with it by no common ties—by blood, by connexion, and by the still more highly important tie which should bind a landlord with his tenantry,—(applause)--a tenantry, permit me to say, loyal, well-disposed, peaceable, attached, and united. (Applause.) Under these circumstances I never can cease to feel a deep inte rest in the welfare of Ireland, and to do everything in my power to increase its happiness and prospe rity.—(Loud Cheers.) " The Primate and the Church of Ireland."— ( Loud cheers.) There was here a general call for Sir HARCOURT LEES—after a short interval the Rev. Baronet rose and said—My Lords and Gentlemen, in the absence of a more dignified representative, permit me to re turn you thanks for the honour you have done in drinking the Primate's health, and coupled with it the Church of Ireland. I trust, my Lords, the pe riod will never arrive when I shall be ashamed to stand forward in support of that Church, or to thank you for any honour conferred upon the distinguished Prelate who is its head in this country. I conceive it necessary, before I sit down, to remove an im pression which many persons labour under, that in supporting the Established Church, Protestants are hostile to the emancipation of the Roman Catholics in consequence of their religious principles. I beg leave to state that the Protestants of Ireland never felt any hostility towards their Roman Catholic countrymen on account of their worshipping God in the way they like best, and that any enmity they may ever have shown against them, exists not in consequence of the delusions which envelope their minds on the subject of religion, but arises in consequence of the h os tility which the Roman Catholics have ever exhibited towards the Church Establishment.—(Loud and continued cheers.)—lt is not, my Lords, so much the religious principles they inculcate, as the political tenets they hold, that render them unfit to partake of the full blessings of the Constitution—(loud cheers)—and I fearlessly assort, that until the Court of Rome shall repeal the decrees which still remain in full force, and bind the consciences of the Roman Catholics, the Legis lature cannot relax in the slightest degree without bringing total ruin upon the Protestant Constitution. (Loud cheers.) The festive board is not the place to indulge in long speeches ; I shall not, therefore, my Lords, detain you longer than to state that I shall be ever found ready to support the Constitu tion in Church and State, so long as I have life, and I would impress it upon our Rulers that the best possible proof any Government can give of its wish to preserve tranquillity and peace in the country, is by preserving with the strictest integrity, the Pro testant Episcopal Church of these realms. (Loud cheers.) " The Lord Chief Baron." The CHIEF BARON rose to return thanks and said—l beg to state that if the Legislature should find it necessary to alter the laws, they will find the Judges ready to administer them for the advantage of all. " The Marquis, of Downshire, and the resident Nobility of Ireland." The Marquis of DovrtcsmitE—l feel this a very high compliment, and without saying more, or in any respect alluding to a political subject which might cause a difference of opinion, I may be permitted to say that the best way to induce such of that class as are amongst us already to continue, and those who are absent to return, is by supporting the Govern ment and the Laws, and giving strength to the ad- Ministiation of the Noble Marquis now at its head in this country.' 4 , With your permission, my Lord Mayor, I will propose as a toast— " The King and Constitution."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD LIEUTENANT then rose, and claimed permission to give a toast— " Prosperity to the Corporation of Dublin." Sir E. NUGENT rose to return thanks, but there was a general call for the Recorder. Alderman ARCHER insisted upon the late Lord Mayor's right, as senior Alderman, to do so. The company, however, still persevering in their call, the LORD MAYOR said, that to put a stop to the matter, he, as the undoubted head of the Corpora.. tion, begged to return his Excellency his best thanks for the honour he had done the Corporation by drinking its prosperity.—(Loud cheers.) Ths Marquis of ANGLESEA again rose and said— As I cannot longer partake of your hospitality, per mit me to propose as a parting toast— " The health of the Lady Mayoress."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks--after which the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by several of the distinguished guests, retired. His Excellency was accompanied to his carriage by the Lord Mayor and the Civic Officers, &c. &c. During the Lord Mayor's absence Alderman Darley took the chair, and pro posed-- " The health of our Noble Visitor, Lord Francis Leveson Gower." Lord F. L. GOWER—I beg leave to express the sincere satisfaction I feel as a component member of the Government, however humble I may be, in wit nessing the compliment paid, in the presence of Viceroyalty, to the Lord Mayor, who has been raised to the high station he now fills by your unanimdus suffrages--and I feel confident, gentlemen, that he will pursue his career with honour to himself and satisfaction to his fellow-citizens hi general. If, gentlemen, you will allow me, I shall propose as a toast— " The health of the Gentleman who filled the Chair in the absence of the Lord Mayor—Alderman Darley, and with it allow me to couple the Police of Dublin."—(Cheers.) " Sir John Byng, and the Army serving in Ire land."—(Loud cheers.) Sir JOHN BYNG--I beg to assure you, my Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, that I feel most grateful for the honour you have done me--and that I am as anxious for the prosperity and tranquillity of Ireland as any man can be. My profession is not one in which speaking can be expected. On one subject alone lam competent to speak--I mean the state of the army. A long and intimate acquaintance with that army enables me to state that it is composed of officers and men, whom I may well feel proud in having the honour to command; and I feel gratified in being able to state, that it is deserving alike of my confidence and that of the country. (Cheers.) I wish the soldiers under my command never to inter fere either with the political or religious discussions, which, circumstanced as the country is, cannot fail to take place. It is our duty to keep our judgments unbiassed, and that can be best effected by not mixing ourselves tie with the disputes that occur.— We are bound to protect the authorities in adminis tering the laws ; we may be called upon by these au thorities, and if called on I hope we shall be found acting with temperance, but at the same time with firmness and decision. (Loud cheers.) . Our City Representative, George Moore, Esq." (Loud cheers.) Mr. MOORE—The last. time I had the honour of addressing you on an occasion similar to the present, I ventured to express a hope that no short-sighted policy would induce our rulers to repress the consti tutional loyalty of the Protestants of the empire. I now, and with the greatest satisfaction, congratulate you, that nothing has occurred to repress the spirit, or to discourage the Protestants of Ireland. On the contrary, a feeling exists, and is daily manifesting itself, which, while it gives courage to our friends, cannot but strike terror into the hearts of our ene mies. —(Cheers.)—Believe me, Gentlemen, the ex pression of that spirit cannot be too highly prized. These are times when every man should exert every possible energy in promoting the expression of Pro testant sentiment. These are times when we all should unite heart anti hand in preserving the in tegrity of the Protestant Constitution.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—Gentlemen, I will now give you— " The Loyal and Independent Commons of the Corporation of Dublin."—(Loud Cheers.) Sir A. B. KING--My Lord Mayor, finding that no person has risen to return you thanks on the part of the loyal Commons, permit me to say a few words. lam placed in a peculiar situation with re spect to that body. The Commons were the first to return me to till the office of Lord Mayor—•in doing so they supported the act of Lucas, and they returned me in opposition to the Board of Alder men. Ido not mean, my Lord, to speak of myself. These are important times in which we live, and we want men who dare be honest in the worst of times. —(Cheers.)--Gentlemen, I was not called upon, and if I had I would not have shrunk from the duty of stating my sentiments boldly and fearlessly in the presence of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.— (Loud cheers.)—This is the time for every man to uphold the Constitution and the laws. This is an opportunity which 'should not be lost, of giving ex pression to Protestant sentiment. Gracious God, my Lord, are we to remain dormant—to succumb to a traitorous banditti, and to be trampled under foot ?—(Cheers.)—Are we, the Protestant Corpo ration of Dublin, to remain dormant while treason stalks abroad, and the insignia of treason and blood is fearfully displayed ?--(Cheers.)—There is now scarcely time to speak, we are called upon to act.—(Cheers.)—The sword is drawn, and the scabbard should be thrown away.--(Cheers.) —Let not the miscreants who threaten us within the citadel of our Constitution. If once they gain admission, they will cry " havoc," but it will then be too late for us " to let slip the dogs of war." (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I tell you you must assume the attitude of defence. (Cheers.) Now is your time, or never. I am one of th ose w h o l au d Lord Anglesea as much as any man for what he has done for the trade of the city. (Cheers.) He has done great and marvellous things for the city of Dub lin; he has given an impetus to trade that is really surprising. But, let me ask, is that all that is re quired from a Chief Governor of Ireland P (Cheers.) I do not presume, for indeed it would be the height of arrogance in me, to point out what he ought to do. But will any man tell me; that when treason is stalking through the land, when thousands of men are seen clothed in the garb of treason, disciplined and marshalled, will any man tell me that some thing ought not to be done. (Cheers.) I call upon you, freemen as ye are, and ye are bound by your oaths so to do, to have a musket and carabine in good repair. The time is fast approaching when you will need it. They talk of blood-hounds, but I retort upon them. It is our blood they seek —our very heart's blood. (Loud cheers.) I would say to the Protestants of Ireland be prudent, be cautious, lye steady, be perse vering, be watchful ; but, above all, be ready. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—Gen tlemen we are all of one sentiment in this room. It was th e Protestant Cor poration of Dublin that elected me to fill this chair. Oar feelings, I am glad to say, are in perfect accord ance, and I shall therefore give you the Charter Toast of this Corporation— " The Glorious, Pious, and Immortal Memory." --(Tremendous cheering.) Alderman BERESFORD here presented himself to the Chair, and begged permission to give a toast. The LORD MAYOR—I cannot permit it until I have given one. It is the health of a man whom I had the honour of serving under in the wont of times— " Alderman J. Claudius Beresford."—(Thunders of applause.) Alderman BERESFORD—My Lord Mayor, I little anticipated that I was obtruding myself upon your notice, when I claimed permission toi ive a toast. I feel proud, my Lord, in having had tlt! honour of being your Commander, in times when rebelliori And treason were stalking through the country. A re currence of these times, I fear, is fast approaching. I trust I shall again be found at my post, acting as zealously, if not as vigorously, as 1 did thirty years ago, in conjunction with yourself, and many other loyal friends in support of the Constitution.—(Loud cheers.)—The toast I was about to propose was— " The health of the loyal Protestants of the county Monaghan who put a stop to the Agitator's going Northward."—(Loud cheers.) Several other toasts were then proposed, and the company did net separate until a late hour. LITERATURE. THE ANGLO-IRISH, 3 VOLS. LONDON, 1828. There is some information in these amusing volumes, which, judging from internal evidence, are penned by a writer who understands his sub ject. It is but a short time since we received the books, and can therefore merely state what has struck us on a very cursory perusal of them. They excel in hitting off the prominent pecu liarities, those chiefly which hang on the surface, of character ; but there is no deep pathos—no absorbing passion about them. The plot is slight, and somewhat confused, though still suffi ciently interesting to allure the reader on. The character of Gerald is pourtrayed with much con sistent ability ; and some one or two specimens of low Irish humour look as if furnished by hints thrown out by Lady Morgan's clever novel of Florence Macarthy. In our selection of extracts we know not that we can find, just at the present momentous crisis, a more appropriate one than the following description of ,Messrs. O'Connell, Sheil, O'Gorman Mahon, and one or two other Catholic agitators, as they appeared in the streets of Dublin, on their road to the Four Courts. The dialogue having a dramatic cast about it, considerably heightens the interest : " About this hour in the morning, Sir," said the head waiter, " a stranger in Dublin might be amused by having pointed out to him different remarkable gentlemen who pass this hotel going to the Four-Courts." " Then stand by my side, and catch a few of those great people for me, if you can ; the man bowed and repaired to the window. " Are you an Englishman ?" continued Gerald, hoping that he might find in his decorous attendant a man who had acquired respectable habits and demeanour out of Ireland, though much residence in Dublin, of late, would account for his accent. " My native place is Knockballochery, in the County Kerry, Sir ;"—Gerald wondered. " Well ; can yft see any body, yet ?" I think I can, Sir: please to look at that tall, lusty gentleman, with the Oxford-grey surtout, buttoned below, but wide open at the breast, and with the quaker-like hat, and the healthy, good-humoured face, and his eyes cast down, thinking, and the umbrella lying along his arm. He that walks so firm and stout." " I have him—he may be some famous priest." " A friend to them, Sir. That's Counsellor Dan." " Indeed ! and now going to some law-courts?" 6 6 Yes, Sir; to the Four-Courts. See how all the people turn to look after him, Sir, and then smile at each other as they pass; they like to see him walking so bravely along, with his broad shoulders and his full breast; and 'tie thought he likes to be seen by them, stepping out over the flags of Dublin, through thick and thin, friends and foes; for he could go in his carriage to the Four-Courts every day if he thought fit, Sir ;--look, Sir ! here it comes, close after him," " The green one, with the green coachman, and green h arness- ribbons ?" " Yes, Sir; and he'd have the horse green if he could." " Pray assist me, again ;—I have my eye, I think, upon some other popular character, for the people turn to look after him, too; though he is so different a figure from Mr. O'Connell. I mean the low, slight, little gentleman, who walks so rapidly, jerking his arm•, and pushing out his under-lip so often, and whose complexion is so bilious, and whose nose is rather short and cocked, and—now that he happens to look up—whose eyes are so dark, and fine, and expressive ?" " You're right, Sir; that's Mr. Shiel." " Ay !—lle is overtaken, now, by a very large person, who carries his head very high, and wears his clothes very loose, and has great whiskers, and has a profusion of shirt collar, and bears a huge stick or club on his shoulder—is he any one of note ?" " indeed, and he is, Sir ! Counsellor O'Gorman, the secretary, no less." " The secretary !--what secretary ?" " Of the Catholic boord, Sir." " Well, and that other gigantic gentleman who now meets him and Mr. Shiel—who is he ?" " It's a lucky morning for you, Sir; sure be is Mr. Eneas M'Donnell, that hunts the Biblicals over the whole country, and gives them no rest or pace ; when he's on his legs, it would be no asy thing to make him sit down, Sir, against his liking, as you may persave, and he knows that well." " See ! the three gentlemen are passed by another, who, by the expression of his brow to them, does not seem a friend." " Do you mean the gentleman with the broad red face, Sir, black coat and waistcoat, yellow leather breeches, top_ boots, spurs, and a heavy whip in his hand ?" " The same." " Then you're right again, Sir; its the Rev. Sir Har court Lees, that calls himself Commander-la-chief of all the Orangemen, and offered himself yesterday, in the pa pers, as hangman to the same gentlemen you're after seeing pass by." " A precious set altogether !" thought Gerald ; " what a state of society ! what people ! what a Baronet ! what a Clergyman !" " But no one minds poor little Sir Harcourt, Sir ; he's only cracked a little, and hasn't a bit of harm in him, after all. Now, Sir, here's one worth looking at; the purple faced old gentleman that gets such a shaking on the back of that little rough-coated horse, bending forward, and dropping his jaw so much, and followed by a servant. If ever you heard of the pleasantest Judge in the Four Courts, there he is, Sir—old, old Lord Norbury." " Pray, glance the other way, after Sir Harcourt Lees-- he stops at the corner of a street a good way off, to shake hands with a gentleman—quick, and tell me if you know his friend ;—tut ! they both turn up that cross-street, now." DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. LISTON made his first bow fOr the season last night as Old Rapid, the tailor, in MORTON'S comedy of A Cure for the Heart-Ache. He was received on his entrance with three distinct rounds of ap plause, and went through his part with extraordi nary care and spirit. In fact we do not know when we have seers him to such advantage. Every jest told; every turn of his very remarkable face—his• inimitable face, convulsed the house with laughter. This was particularly the case in the incident of the needle, which was received with bursts of applause. The house for the time of the year was full. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Miss FORDE made her appearance here last night as Rosina in the Barber of Seville. She is, we think, a great acquisition to the . stage, having a sweet-toned and f u ll vo ice, graceful action, pretty face, fine dark and clustering hair, and as archly expressive an eye as any reasonable gentleman could desire to see. We remember her some one or two years since at, w e b e lieve, Drury-lane; but sh e i s since considerably improved as an actress, and eke as a woman, being a ketle plumper and more en bon point than before. Her Roma last night was highly successful, and her execution of " Tyrant soon I'll burst thy chain," distinguished by extraordinary skill and spirit. On the whole we think this young lady will make a hit. A Mr. GREEN from Bath also made his first appearance here as Figaro. He is a lively bustling performer, full of animal spirits, and unencumbered with diffidenc e , with which, in fact, he seems to have a very slight and distant ac quaintance. His voice is pleasing, but in no respect remarkable; his action redundant, and in one or two places unpleasantly vulgar. Bating this last defect, he is a promising performer, with one or two indica tions or gleams of original humour. He was well received. MONMOUTH MURDER. I THURSDAY, OCT. 2.—Circumstances are con stantly occurring which throw additional light upo n this painful subject. It was ascertained that a lett er had been despatched, with the addressin a very in different handwriting, to a man of the name of Davis, at Carleon, whither a constable was imme• diately despatched, who fortunately obtained pos session of it. In conversation with Davis, the con stable ascertained that the murdered woman, under an assumed name, had been living and cohabiting some weeks with him. The letter, which was put into the post office here on Saturday, states she had passed the night of Friday in the Great Wood which she had mentioned to him, and that some thing very dreadful had been en the Opt of hap pening to her. It appears that Barnett had fetched her front Carleon on Friday s and that they had mentioned their intention of proceeding to the houses of their respective parents—his father residing near Staun ton and her's on the Kymin, about a mile and a half from Monmouth; and as . it is in evidence that she was seen in Hadno c k Wood, an extensive planta tion belonging to the Crown, about a mile from Staunton, and an equal distance from the Kymin, between six and seven in the morning of Saturday, it is probable that she did pass the night there, and that something dreadful had occurred between her and Barnett, the latter of whom, on going to his father's house early on Saturday morning, drew a pistol from his pocket—and this occurrence might possibly account for the words " Maria Marten and the Red Barn," which the hostler saw in the letter which Esther Stephens sent by the child to Barnett, and which, it is hoped, the writer of the letter may yet come forward to explain. Yesterday a special constable was despatched to Liverpool, in which direction it is presumed he is gone, he having f or some t i me preme di tate d emi gration to America. A man answering the descrip tion of Barnett was seen within a few minutes after the scream of murder had been heard by Fuller going towards the river Wye; and there are marks as of bloody fingers on the stile of a timber-yard ad joining the river. In a hay-loft, near the Collow turnpike, a short distance from Hereford, on this side, a man without a hat, coat, or shoes, was found lying nearly covered with hay, on the farm -servants going into the loft on the Monday morning; and in the course of Monday, a man answering his descrip tion crossed the Wye at Sugwas ferry, a few miles on the other side of Hereford, inquiring his way to Leominster, which is in the direct road from Here ford to Liverpool.

NEAL Awn ROACII.—Last night a second deposit of 201. a-side was put down by the friends of these men, at Harry Holt's, the Golden Cross, Cross-lane, Long-acre, tbr the pending match ; neither of the men were present. BARNES AARON ANA HARRY JONES.-A depojt of 101. a-side was to have been posted at Tom Gaynor's, the Queen's head, Duke's court, Bow-street, but poor Harry, though a brave little man, was again left iR the lurch by his friend. Harry had travelled up from Newbury in the morning, in order, as he said, to jog the memory of his patron, but the latter had gone out of town, and with him Harry's sanguine hopes of a match with " the poy Barney." He was obliged to forfeit the 5/. down; but there is still hopes of a new match being made at Barney's crack display of pugilistic talent on Tuesday next, at Howard's Coffee house. BLISSET AND THE CHESHIRE HERO..—These meu were to have met last night at Peter Crawley's, to make a match, but neither attended. • BRUNSWICK CLuas.—Tbe members already admitted, are clone upon two hundred thousand, and before the first day of November the Government may calculate upon having at their command a force sufficient, were such a measure necessary, to " drire the Papists into the sea." SPIRIT OP THE LoNnos JOURNALS. The measure of humiliation fills even to the overflow, and England descends to what Buona parte in his insolence used to denominate her " natural station"—namely, that of a third or fourth rate power. Had the French Emperor performed his threat, and, by the application of force, to which no other state in Europa had offered a successful resistance, plucked Great Britain of her shipping plumage, and exposed her naked unadorned dimensions to the world, there would at least hav e rema i ne d to t h e peop l e ofo n s England the glory that w as i nev i ta bl e. N ot of a gallant fight, and the o such, unhappily, are the natur e an d circum stances of that decline from primiti ve gran d eur , of which England has been recently e x hibiti ng c ation of a fall the progress, of which she now touches the con ' summation, and of which she almost at the same moment begins to taste the fruits. Mean and ignorant councils have accomplished, in one short year of peace, that which the most gigantic arm that ever held a sword was beaten to the earth , after fiercely attempting by a war of '2O yearn' continuance ; and since the accession of the pre sent extraordinary Ministry, that power which was erewhile accustomed to raise high her crest above all nations, and to move by a nod the political universe, has now become a by-word for treachery to friends, and for abject resignation to the will of enemies, alike the formidable and the feeble. The blockade of the Dardanelles by Russia is at length officially communicated to the merchants by the fitting authority of the Earl of Aberdeen ; and, in passing, we may just ob serve, by way ofcommentar;', on some other com munications from the Minister, dizt the same day which repels British commerce from ti;; Darda nelles,announces its expulsion from the port of Lis bon likewise—that capital of which the Govern ment is so " friendly" to Great Britain ! and so worthy of panegyric from the noble Lord, whose fellow-subjects it despoils and persecutes, and whose Sovereign and country it insults. But, for the Dardanelles, and the notice of its block ade to our merchants. Bad as may be the mea sure itself; we protest that our mortification at an event, under all the circumstances so dis graceful to the British empire, is almost lost in wonder at the language in which it has been promulgated. If the spirit evinced in Lord Aberdeen's letter to Lloyd's be a trial of any Englishman's patience, no human gravity can stand the force of the noble Secretary's logic. We have repeatedly dwelt upon the fact, that tire King's speech had. announced to Parliament the pledge received from the Emperor of Russia, that " His Imperial Majesty had consented to wave the exercise in the Mediterranean Sea of any rights appertaining to his Imperial Maje4Y4 in his character of a belligerent power." This sweeping pledge to a b an d on her belligerent rights in the Mediterranean Sea by Russia, we treated as ground sufficient either to disbelieve the blockade, or, if authentic, to resist it ; and we called upon Ministers two days ago to explain in what sense they understood the pledge of Russia, so as to reconcile—if reconcile they could—their first insisting that Russia should wave her privilege as a belligerent, and their af terwards submitting to her violation of the pledge which they had boasted of obtaining. How, then, does Lord Aberdeen get through the pitiable task assigned to him ? The first paragraph of his letter announces the Russian design to blockade, and to limit that operation to ships bound to Constantinople, and laden with articles contraband of war. In the second, his Lordship, finding that he could not get over the Russian " waver" above alluded to (which, indeed, we took proper care should meet his Lordship full in the face), begins by guotiog his Imperial Majesty's consent to wave, &c. ; and then what follows ? Does he add that his Majesty's Government has therefore taken "mea sures to enforce upon Russia the fulfilment of her pledge, and to protect at all hazards the ho nour of his Majesty's Crown, and the commer cial rights and interests of his people ?" Doer Lord Aberdeen, we say, subjoin to the notifica tion of a breach of faith by Russia (for towards the conclusion of the same paragraph, lie ob liquely stigmatizes the blockade as such), a manly and encouraging assurance to the country, that the Government would not suffer its dignity to be so insulted ? No such words, alas I can be found in this characteristic composition of the Foreign Secretary, and no such meaning ex tracted from him. The sense of the letter, on the contrary, runs thus :—His Imperial Majesty having consented that there shall be no war like measure carried on in the Mediter ranean against Turkey, Lord Aberdeen commu nicates with the least possible delay to the mer chants, that his Imperial Majesty has broken his imperial word, and has not only commanded a warlike measure, but that precise description of measure which superadds an attack on British commerce to hostilities "in the Mediterranean" against Turkey ; and although such British iner chanclize as have already acted on the faith of his Imperial Majesty's promise, are, in the opinion of his Majesty's Government, not liable to be affected by the blockade, yet as his Ma jesty's Government have consented that the pledge of his Imperial Majesty s hall henceforth be good for nothing, the British merchants as well as the Brtish Government must pocket the affront as well as they can, and submit them selves dutifully, if not very cheerfully, to the Imperial pleasure. All remark, after such con duct as this, would be irksome to ourselves, and useless to the men who provoked it. The fact is, that in the present condition of Ireland, there i s no foreign State so contemptible as not to presume on the hope of bearding this country with impunity ; and when a creature like Miguel insults our pride, well may Russia venture to .thwart our policy, and to obstruct our com merce.-- Times. We trust that the overheated peasants of Ire land may yet be withheld by the more temperate and sagacious of their brethren, from yielding to the provocations which are hourly offered to them by the s angu i nary c l u b men an d t h e i r insti gators. If the Catholics have a true insight into their own situation, and such knowledge . as a little cal m re fl ect i on must g i ve every man of that which constitutes the real strength of their cause, they must feel at once that their enemies are vul nerable only on the hustings, while in the field they cannot :be resisted. The policy of the Ca tholics is peace. If the Government, in the ex ercise of a prudent foresight, under an apprehen sion quite naturally produced by the exasperated spirit which reigns th roug h out I re l an d, an d iThich the slightest incident may aggravate into an unappeasable commotion—if they reinforce, as we believe they are in the act of doing, the military force under Lord Anglesey's command, the Catholics ought at once to hail the event as the accession to them of a more complete pro tection against the Orangemen's outrages. The Catholics ought to be ruled universally by a de
