IN DERBY GAOL. The following is the confession, verbatim, which the pri soner Garside made to Mr. Lockett, the Magistrate, in Derby Gaol, when confined under sentence of eighteen months' im prisonment, for stealing tools, and which led to his own con viction, and the apprehension of his diabolical accomplices, and which is calculated further to elucidate the evil doings of the Trades' Unions. It differs in some respects from the evidence giver, against the convicts by the witness Mosley ; but it does not vary in the substance and detail of the foul t ransaction, as given by Mosley, excepting that Garside sub stitutes the convict Mosley for himself, as the man who ac tually fired the pistol. The reason for this substitution is, of course, obvious, as Garside must have known, by wishing to read the proclamati on i n t h e G azette b e f ore he ma d e t h e con fession, that the man who actually gave the death wound would not be pardoned. James Garside—_l am about 25 years old. On the 3d Jan., 1831, I lived with my father at Barnsford, in Marple. Be tween one and two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, I went to Edwa r d Bravendar's, at Riding Pits, Hyde, to see his son J ames. James was not at home, but I saw his mother and uncle James, and bought some bread and cheese there. I stopped there about half an hour, and then returned home as far as the Grapes public-house, where I remained' till about 5 o'clock. I then left the Grapes and went by the field road as fa r as the top of Werneth-lane. There I met Joseph Mosley, and asked him where he was going. He said he was going over the hill —h e had a bit of a job to do that night. I asked him "hat it was —whether it was fortune-telling; and he said i t Was, and asked me to turn back with him. I said, "how fa r is it off?" and he said, "above a mile." I turned back with him a few yards down the road that leads from Gerard's to Werneth, where Joseph Mosleytold me his brother William was to meet him. We stopped about ten minutes, when Wil liam Mosley came to us. Whe n J ose ph an d I were s t an di ng in the road, and just as Willi am came up , a m iddl e - age d man , vvho lived at Lousy Thorn, whom I had often seen, and who generally wore a blue coat, and drove the horses came out of the gravel pit, passed us and looked at us, but I believe did not !ay any thin g . I h a d k nown b oth James and William Mosley Defore this time ; for six months before I had been strongly ae44rttleS, iiltendivith James we had met often withi n th a t ti me a t M 1 y Woodr u ff' s , i n Bi rc h- row, i n M arple, where we went to fo and we had met at other places. I believe he w as in the union—he was going frequently to the spinners' unions, in Hyde and Ashton. I knew William Mosley when he and I were boys—we used to play together. He was away from Marple for some time, but returned and was apprenticed to Henry Holmes, a shoemaker. We alway s s p ok e wh en we met, but were not particularly intimate at Before t ime. Wh en Willi am l e f t H o l mes h e too k to b oat i ng. eJanuary, 1831, James and William Mosley and I had been concerned in breaking into and robbing Boden's 811° P, a wheelwright, in Marple, in the night. We stole his tools and other articles. We also determined and attempted 1 0 1 break into and rob John Hambledon's shop, near Marple dge, a draper, but by the noise occasioned by our f o rcin g e windows the family were disturbed, and the robbery was Prevented. We had agreed to join in jobs of this kind. After Mosley came to me and Joseph on the road from IPureave to Werneth-lane, we went together into a plantation at .t ie top of W erneth-lane, and sat down under the hedge upon a lof backing. They then told me they were going to shoot pr. Ashton. I asked them for what ? They said for money. a n ai i _cl I would have nothing to do with it. Joseph replied, "" i aye, thou mun come and go with us, thou need'st do i l t i king but watch—l shall do the job." He then pulled out ms Pocket a horse-pistol, which he said was loaded. He drew !a!nee t r o a l in d r u o s d out, which was on a swivel, and turned it into the ,?!rrel to show us that it was loaded. It was nearly half full. tiender sho lv es h , ere the job was to be done, where William and I were to wait, how we were to get away, and how we were to meet afterwards. Joseph and William Mosley came in rather but they brought a stronger pair with them, O vi ng nails in the bottom, and each of them took off one of !s slender shoes and put on a stronger shoe before we left the Plantation. Joseph wore a h a t, a b rown c l ot h s h oot i ng - coa t, Pen in front, and a pair of dark trousers. William had a rough boatma n ' s cap , a li g h t - co l oure d coat, an d li g h t j ean n cord trousers. I wore a hat, blue coat, and cotton cord browsers. We went from the plantation down the foot road Lo - usy Thorn, to the cart road from Gee-cross toWoodley, ,aind along the cart road, till we turned into the road to Ap taorne. As we went down the footpath from the plantation, I asked what money it was the job was to be done for, and WhetherWh Mr. Ashton was to be robbed forit; and Joseph told ,_he was employed by the spinner's union, at Ashton, and Was to have 10/. ; •and as we went along he said that he and a triman had been over the ground the day before, and ed h ow we were to proceed, as he had explained to us in Plantation. W e went toget h er i nto t h e roa d to A pt h orne . Almost Mile as soon as we entered it a man came from towards the and passed us. Joseph and William Mosley were on one and lon the other. He went between us. Just after -I,;"ds we met a little girl. She had something in her hand. e Proceed e d and just before we had got to an old building road, we met another man. He said it was dark. 7e did not speak, but said " H um ." Wh en we go t to the o ld building we separated. Joseph a nd William Mosley W ent over the hedge on the left side of the road, and I went Ov er on the ri g h t . W e t h en went on t ill we got a f ew lards above the gate, where William Mosley on the left and fe n th e r i g h t of the road stopped ; but Joseph went on a w Yards b e l ow the gate. While I remained in my place P t aan came u p t h e road and passed by me. He had t assed by Joseph, w h o k new th a t h e was no t one o f t h e Ash :ns• After he had p asse d by me , I b ecame i m p a ti en t an d ent on a little below the gate, when I heard some one ii C O ,ng along th e roa d w hi st li ng. I sat d own un d er the hedge his man (who was one of the Mr. Ashtong, though I did 1,;„ 'mow it) came opposite to me. I then heard Joseph Mos „.Y get over the hedge. I got up and saw Joseph meet Mr. A l a n en when he had gone five or six yards past me. Mr. Ash '„ ,M 4 3pped aside and stood with his back towards me. Jo :s.Pn got between him and the hedge and discharged the pistol Into hi s body. He fell on his back across the road. I did not ulna after he fell. I ran off. I think the man who last r a ssed by me on the road before Mr. Ashton, could not have tot so far as not to have heard the report of the pistol. I did of see either Joseph or William Mosley after the pistol was Ple", until we met on the canal bridge as agreed upon in the antation. It was then settled that they should go together 45 the left side of the road down in the field between Mr. ''uton s house and the factory to the bridge where the l egs i ns were. When I was going on the bridge on the field side tath saw a man ab ou t t wen ty y ar d s f ro m the bridge on the towing side. He saw me but I did not speak. I was in great a t as o , and do not know whether he spoke to me or not. , t „ s teY3 said they had not been seen by any one. We said a few min u t e s o n the bridge. Joseph Mosley 1 , we s h ou ld swear to secrecy, and we all three—on our knees, --took an oath, and prayed Gon to strike us dead, vve told what had been done ! While we were the bridge, a man passed along the towing a"l He said nothing, and might not have seen us. It was th t e °tl B,,night, rather dark, though starlight. When we left wh ""ute, and were on the towing-path, we considered beether Joseph or William Mosley should go to Ashton to It i crin the union that the job was done and to draw the money. get as determined that William should go.

Ere the present week closes it is anticipated that six or seven others will be taken into custody. Schofield was apprehended at his own house by Mr. J. Barrett, the deputy constable of Stockport ; and when taken he denied all know ledge of the convicts, or the witness Mosley. He was lodged in the Stockport New Bailey, and immediately after the trial at Chester, the accomplice Mosley was conveyed to Stockport, to confront and identify the prisoner as the man Schofield or Stansfield, who was arraigned with them for the murder, and paid the money for its committal. It was expected that an examination of the prisoner would have taken place to-day before the Magistrates, and the Court-house was consequently crowded to excess, but no public investigation was entered into. The Magistrates, however, Sir Salisbury Humphreys, Capt. Clarke, and Mr. Simpson, had the witness conveyed to the gaol, where Schofield was confined, when the latter was con fronted with the witness, who, in the same decided manner that he evinced in giving evidence at the trial, positively swore to the prisoner as the man. The prisoner still strenuously de nied all knowledge of the transaction, and he was remanded until Wednesday next, by which time it is anticipated others will be in custody, when a through examination will be gone into. There appears no want of money in the cause ; and Mr. Vaughan, an eminent solicitor of Stockport, has been retained for the defence. We have taken some pains to ascertain the feelings of the unionists towards the convicts, and, singular as it may appear, notwithstanding the clear corroboration of the accomplice at the trial, and, as the Learned Judge observed, by unimpeachable witnesses, and the similarity of the confes sion of Garside in Derby gaol, with the evidence given by the accomplice, the majority of the working classes connected with the unions believe she convicts innocent. Both the malefac tor's refuse to make any confession, and positively deny that Schofield is guilty ; but it is currently rumoured in this and the neighbouring towns, that intimation was given to the convicts before the trial, that if, in the event of their being found guilty, they kept their own counsel, and did not impli cate others, that their wives and families would be supported by the unions. This, of course, is only rumour, and it is to be hoped that the Magistrates will not object to the proceedings of the examination being made public, as by that means unfounded statements will not obtain insertion in the newspapers to the prejudice of the accused parties. Mr. Chorlton, the solicitor, of Hyde, who prosecuted the perpetrators of the murder, and by whose indefatigable exertions in obtaining evidence the conviction was secured, is again retained by the family of the murdered gentleman to further elucidate the facts as connected with this abominable transaction—a transaction which, for cold blooded atrocity, was never surpassed by the ruffianly bravo of Italy, and certainly not equalled in the annalo of crime in this country ; for, before this shocking, and, to Englishmen, humiliating disclosure, it was never suspected that there were wretches to be found in England who, for the sake of money, could be hired to murder a fellow-creature whom they never saw, nor against whom, by the acknowledgment of both Garside and the witness Mosley, they did not enter tain the least malice.

We understand that several persons belonging to this place have visited Baccalieu, since notice was given in this paper of the circumstance of an unknown vessel having been wrecked there ; and the various reports circulated about that wreck appear only to involve the subject in more mystery. From the description of some of her materials, we think that she must have been a large vessel, and from the furnishing of some of her rigging, that she must have been either a man of war or a packet. We understand that a pair of trousers, apparently of foreign manufacture and make, has been taken from some part of the wreck ; and it is very generally reported that specie (said to be English coin) to a very large amount has also been taken. From the described situation of the anchors and chains, it appears that the vessel had come to anchor in the north end of the island, and from one of the anchors being broken, that she drifted from her anchors, and went ashore at an inaccessible place, near which a large cave extends some distance under the island, so dark that it was necessary to carry a light into it in the day time ; that into this cave, and in crevices about the mouth of it, bodies of the people who were on board the vessel, as well as some of her mate rials and wreck, were driven by the force of the sea; that the bodies of several persons are now lying there, some of. them mingled up with the tangled remains of the sails and rigging, but two particularly deserve notice, one as being jammed against the cliff by some of the wreck, and supported by stones and rubbish, having on a blue surtout and grey trousers, and the other of respectable appearance, a very tall man, who had ap parently by his strength got farthest up the cliff, and died there. We regret that no means are made available to send some intelligent: person to the spot for the purpose of investigating the place and circumstances ; such inquiry would probably identify the remains of the vessel and lead to some knowledge of the unfortunate sufferers, as the plunder of the wreck and the hope of plunder, have naturally induced a degree of secrecy and kept from the public a variety of circumstances, which if known, would have discovered what unfortunate vessel it was. His Majesty's ship Comus sailed on Tuesday morning last for the northward, and will touch in at Baccalieu for the pur pose of ascertaining, if possible, some leading particulars con nected with the above wreck. Various conjectures are afloat respecting it, but there is nothing like certainty in any of them. Two eminent engineers, one attached to the French Government, and the other from St. Petersburgh, have lately come to this country to inspect the London and Greenwich Railway. We have no doubt but that this spendid national work will become the subject of general curiosity. The King's beautiful cream-coloured horses, and the other horses used in drawing the state-carriages when his Majesty goes in procession to the House of Peers, were yes terday exercised in Regent's-park, as is customary, previous to his Majesty opening the session or proroguing Parliament. THE MAID OF KARS.—The new romance by that general public favourite, the author of " Zohrab," may justly be considered the most popular novel of the season. " Ayesha," indeed, exhibits such a vivid picture of Oriental scenes, that the editor of the Quarterly Review has given a detailed account of this delightful story. The last number of that high critical authority pronounces, that " a more animated and exciting story could hardly be conceived." PARK IMPROVEMENTS.—Sir John Hobhouse has given instructions for two new lodges to be erected in St. James's Park ; one at Storeys-gate and one at the entrance from Stable-yard. Sir John has also given orders for new lodges to be erected in the inside of the inclosure, similar to those in Kensington-Gardens, for the gate-keepers and con stables. More benches are also directed to be placed in the malls as well as in the inside of the inclosures, for the better accommodation of the public, which is very desirable ; since at present every one who sits down on a chair is expected to pay one penny for his temporary seat. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, AUG. 11.—We have had a moderate demand for cotton, at steady prices. The transactions about 2,000 bags. Pernams 11-ad to llid. ; Or leans, 10d. to 101 d. ; and Mobiles, at Sid. to 0-1-d. per lb. Au inquest was held on Monday last at East Barnet, before Mr. Osbaldeston, coroner for Hertfordshire, on view of the body of Major-general Sir David Ogilby, who was killed by the overthrow of a four-wheeled carriage which he was driving. Verdict, " Accidental death." RIOT AND FIGHT BETWEEN THE TRADES' UNIONS AND THE ANTI-UNIONISTS.—On Monday evening a serious riot and disturbance took place at Brixton, near the House of Correction, arising out of the following circum stances :—lt appears that most of the journeymen builders, bricklayers, and bricklayers' labourers, in that neighbourhood are members of the Trades' Union, and now out of work, owing to the general strike and the disputes with the masters. A body of navigators, who have refused to have any thing to do with the Unions, are at present employed in making a new reservoir near the Brixton House of Correction. This cir cumstance has greatly exasperated the Union men, and about six o'clock on Monday evening, a number of the Union men having assembled as the navigators were leaving work, some violent language ensued amongst them, until one man belong ing to each party turned out to fight. Several rounds were fought, and on the Union men finding that their man was getting the worst of it, great confusion was created, and a general fight took place. Above four or five hundred had now as sembled; the bricklayers got the handles of their hods, and cut about them right and left; the navigators seized their scoops, and, amidst showers of brickbats and stones, the fight lasted a considerable time, until the Unionists were completely routed from the scene of action by the navigators, who re mained masters of the field. Broken heads and fellows covered with blood were to be seen in all directions, with pails of water, washing their wounds ; some of them were very severely in jured, but not, that we heard of, dangerously hurt. "It was impossible for the police to muster in sufficient force time enough to prevent the affray, and for a few men to have at tempted it would have been the height of madness. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1834. COURT CIRCULAR. Viscount Althorp left town about twelve o'clock yesterday on a visit to his Majesty at Windsor Castle.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, AUGUST 6, 1834. The King was thii day pleased to confer the honour of Knight hood upon Edward John Gambier, Esq., Recorder of Prince of Wales Island. CROWN-OFFICE, Auc. 12. ITALIAN OPERA-HOUSE. The season at the Italian Opera-house closed last night. The performances of the evening were R Barbiere di Siviylia and the ballet of Masaniello. There was little of novelty in either the opera or the ballet. In the former the singing of Mademoiselle Grisi was, as it always is, superlatively good ; nothing could surpass either her singing or the manner in whichshe played the character of R os i na . T am b ur i n i, Rubin', and the rest of the performers were perfectly at home in their re spective parts, and the whole performance went off in a manner which reflects the highest credit on the performers. The house was crowded to excess, and Mademoiselle Grisi, at the conclu sion of IZ Barbiere di Siviglia, was greeted with a perfect up roar of applause, which lasted for several minutes. This lady again came forward to take her leave for the season, and was again most rapturously received. The absurdity of throwing a crown of flowers from one of the boxes, was on this occa sion exhibited. It was placed with all due formality on the head of the lady it was meant to honour, but whose head dress it did not improve, and whose reputation needed no such practical twaddle to increase it. Mademoiselle Grisi then sang the national anthem with great effect ; and was followed on her ultimate departure from the scene with, if possible, in creased demonstrations of approbation. In the ballet of Ma saniello, the dancing of Mademoiselle Adele and Monsieur Guerinot was equal to anything of the sort we have ever seen. The ballet itself, though got up with great splendour, is not a happy subject for the display of mere dumb show. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ASSESSED TAXES COMPOSITION.

Mr. Andrews, - finding, that the combined strength of the two patrons of the borough would leave him in a minority of upwards of twenty, declined the contest. It is but justice to Lord Euston to state that he is highly esteemed at Thet ford, and that his political principles are extremely liberal. Indeed there appears to be hardly a shade of difference in po litical sentiment between his Lordship and Mr. Andrews ; and if the former had offered himself in the first instance in lieu of his relation, it is probable no other candidate would have taken the field, although some of the electors are desirous of being delivered from their present state of thraldom. CHELTENHAM ELECTION. (From the Second Edition of the Cheltenham Journal of Monday : ) . —. ... 4 , The polling commenced in Cheltenham precisely at nine o'clock this morning, arid has been kept up with great spirit and zeal on both sides, but with so much good feeling that, throughout the day, not the slightest disturbance has been oc casioned ; nor has an angry feeling been manifested by either party. Great interest has been excited by the progress of the contest, and the expresses from the distant polling places have been looked for with intense anxiety. The friends of both candidates seem' equally confident of success. We now sub join the latest returns : STATE 01? THE POLL AT FOUR O'CLOCK. Maj. for Maj. for Leigh. Codrington. Leigh. Codrin.

The order of the day for the second reading of the Church Temporalities' Bill was then read, when their Lordships' went through the Bill till the 16th Clause, with one amendment, moved by the Archbishop of Armagh. The other Clauses wete then agreed to. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. WARWICK ELECTION. On the motion for reading the order of the day for the House to resolve itself into a committee on the Beer Bill. The Earl of WARWICK took the opportunity of vindicat ing his conduct with reference to the Warwick election, and denying the truth of the statements which had 'appeared in various publications upon the subject. His Lordship declared that from the c o m men c emen t o f th e W arw i c k :election to the present moment, he had never done any thing unconstitutional or unbecoming a Peer ; and appealed to the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack with reference to the extent to which a member of their Lordships' House might justifiably go in such matters. The LORD C HANC ELL OR observed that although of course if a Peer were guilty of bribery and corruption, his con duct would be illegal and highly criminal, yet that if he merely interfered in an election as a commoner might justifiably do, he (the Lord Chancellor) held that he was not acting con trary to the law of the land. He spoke as a lawyer, and con stitutionally. Undoubtedly such interference would be con trary to a resolution of the House of Commons. But that resolution would not legally preclude a Peer from the kind of interference to which he (the Lord Chancellor) had alluded. It might be a matter of discretion with a peer whether or not he should so act, but in his opinion it was clear that it would not be illegal. No Peer could be considered as acting unjus tifiably or in the slightest degree dishonourably by such in terference. He (the Lord Chancellor) remembered that the predecessor of his Noble Friend the Earl Marshal was in the habit of so interfering, of canvassing, and even of vot ing at elections, although of course his vote was not re ceived. By law a Peer was eatitled to canvass, but he was not, any more than any other man, entitled to commit bri bery or corruption. He repeated that a resolution of the House of Commons declared that a Peer should not interfere in any way at elections ; but if he (the Lord Chancellor) were to interfere at an election in the legal manner which he had described, he should not consider that he had committed any improper or dishonourable act. BEER BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Beer Bill. Several clauses, after some verbal amendments, were agreed to. The bill then went through committee. Report to be re ceived to-morrow. CONSTABULARY FORCE. The Duke of WELLINGTON called the attention of the Noble Lord at the Head of the Government to the subject of the establishment of a more efficient constabulary force in villages. The Duke of RICHMOND said he agreed with the Noble Duke on the importance he attached to this subject, and was glad to state that the Committee on the County Rate Bill had adopted a Resolution yesterday, recommending that the con stabulary force of the country should be put on a better footing. Lord MELBOURNE said there could be no doubt of the importance of the subject, and he was of opinion that there could not be a more favourable time than the present for taking it into consideration, when the country was in a state of tranquillity. He assured the Noble Duke that the ques tion should receive the immediate and serious attention of the Government.: ..... The Customs Bill was read a third time and passed. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COLONIZATION BILL. Upon the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE the House went into Committee on this Bill. Several amendments of a verbal character were agreed to. The whole of the clauses having been gone through, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received to morrow (this day. ) . _ _ The Fines and Recoveries ( Ireland) Bill also passed through a Committee. Report to-morrow. The Report of the Committee on the Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill was brought up. The amendments were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. CINQUE PORTS PILOTS BILL. _ _ . _ Lord AUCKLAND moved that the Cinque Ports Pilots Bill be read a second time. The Duke of WELLINGTON could not allow this Bill to pass its present stage without stating to their Lordships the objections which he had to it. He would not attempt to deny that abuses might have crept into the present system, but then he would assert that it had been found not only to answer the purposes for which it was intended, but to give general satisfaction. He himself within the last twelve months made such alterations and improvements in the Cinque Ports as he had deemed necessary, and therefore he hoped their Lordships would not pass a law which would have the effect of destroying a long-established and highly useful insti tution without previous inquiry. He was aware that this Bill was brought in in conformity to the recommendation, of a Com mittee of the House of Commons ; but what he wished was that the whole subject should undergo inquiry by a Committee of their Lordships' House before a step of this kind was taken, and that the parties coming forward to give evidence should be examined upon oath. He objected to the mode in which the pilots were to be selected, and he equally objected to the clause relative to the remuneration to be given to the boatmen along the coast for taking pilotashore. He thought the lat ter arrangement would impose an unjust tax upon the ship ping, and was inconsistent with the principles on which the Legislature had heretofore proceeded. The object of all the enactments which had been made on this subject down to the present time was not only to facilitate but to render cheap the navigation along the coasts of this country and in the narrow seas ; but it was, he thought, clear that if this Bill were passed that object would be in a great measure *feated. He dis approved of the clause which deprived the pilots of the Cinque Ports of the power of causing surveys to be made along the coast of Holland ; because he deemed it indispensable that such a power should exist if an efficient pilot establishment were desirable. He could assure their Lordships that he was not interested in the matter further than being anxious to de fend the rights of a very meritorious body of men. The Noble Duke concluded with moving that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. The Earl of RADNOR supported the Bill. He could not see how any injustice could be done to the pilots by allowing the watermen, in the absence of the pilots, to navigate the ships into the Downs. The Noble Earl said that he had re ceived a letter from the Captain of an Indiaman, who had sailed through the Downs a few days ago, complaining that although he was anxious to take a pilot on board, yet that he was unable to fall in with one. The Duke of WELLINGTON shortly replied, and said hat he should persist in his motion. Lord AUCKLAND said that great anxiety prevailed amongst the merchants that some change should take place in the law relative to pilotage, and there seemed to be a general feeling in favour of the Bill. He agreed, however, with the Noble Duke, that inquiry should take place into the subject, and he thought, instead of being confined to the Cinque Ports pilots, that it should extend to the whole pilot age of the country. At present the law was not uniform. There were different systems of pilotage at different ports, and the pilots were under a variety of authorities. For in stance, there were Trinity Houses at Newcastle, Hull, Yar mouth, Bristol, and Liverpool, and there was no controlling power. He felt that the whole system should be inquired into with the greatest care, as it was a subject deeply interesting to the commerce of the country. After what had passed, he did not feel called upon to persist in the measure ; but he trusted their Lordships would consent to a full inquiry into the subject next year. The - amendment was then agreed to. The Registration of Tithes Bill, the Appropriation Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill, the Assessed Taxes Bill, the Spirit Duties Bill, and a number of other Bills, were severally com mitted, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. A message was ordered to be sent to the House of Com mons, requesting a conference to-morrow at a quarter past five, on the subject of the County Coroners' Bill. Adjourned at nine o'clock.

We do not recollect any public event—excepting only the rejection of the English Reform in 1831— which has created so much sensation as the destructive majority of the House of Lords against the Irish Tithe Bill. The decision of the infatuated Tory Peers wilt penetrate the public mind, from one end of the -king dom to the other. Every reflecting person entertained sanguine hopes that this important measure would have been the commencement of an era of peace andgoodi Government in Ireland. But the Lords hay decree.., otherwise ; and their suicidal vote gives satisfactity only to those who seek the utter destructiono: Irish Church Establishment. The Bill had been passe by large majorities in the House of Commons—the Irish Landowners had declared their hearty assent tq its principles and provisions—the Clergy of the Dio. cese of Dromore, in the letter read by Lord Mel bourne, testified the favourable opinion of the Irish Rectors and Vicars—Mr. O'Connell, and the mass of the people of Ireland represented by him, had expressed their grateful sense of its merits and the relief it would afford ; but it pleased the fanatics—the rump of the Orange Faction—and the party opposition- peers, to destroy the illusive hope of removing one of the greatest grievances of Ireland. We are still almost wholly at a loss to discern the motives of this op osi tion, when it was so palpably the interest of the Peers to pass the Bill. But Ireland has been cursed with a Protestant Church in a Catholic country, and with the Beresford family. It is scarcely 40 years since the late excellent Earl Fitzwilliam was driven from his go vernment of Ireland—from which such fond hopes were entertained by the Irish—by the infamous intri gues of this family at the Court of George 111., a member of which clan persuaded his Majesty that his Lordship was seeking the destruction of the Irish Church. The same senseless cry has again proceeded from the same place-hunting family. Lord Duncannon, on Mon day night, boldly denounced the Archbishop of Armagh (John George De La Poer Beresford) as an active agitator against the Tithe Bill and Irish Church Re form. Verily this family has had goodly reasons to uphold the Irish Hierarchy. As great Borough Pro prietors of Londonderry county and town, of Cole raine, and the county of 'Waterford, the Beresfords secured an ample portion of the plunder of the Church and State. Peerages, Court honours, Archbishoprics, Bishoprics, Deaneries, sinecure " livings," regiments, ships, and civil offices, were showered in profusion on this cormorant family. They once enjoyed three mitres at the same period, and at this moment we have before us a curious " Case of Oppression- illus trative of the present state of the Internal Government of Ireland," by an Irish Curate, Mr. Lyons; in the title-page and contents of which figure " The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Lord John G. Beresford, Arch bishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland ;" the Right Rev. George De La Poer Beresford, Lord Bishop of Kilmore ;" and the Rev. Marcus G. Beresford, Vicar of the parishes of Drong and Lara, and Vicar- General of the Diocese of Kihnore. We turn to the Black Book, and we see a page of other Beresfords, enjoying the Colonelcy of two regiments, the Gover norship of Jersey, the Captaincy of a Cadet Company, and pensions to boot. The " Clerical Guide" intro duces us to other industrious members of the same fortunate tribe. We refer to the voluminous returns of the " Compensation Pensions," granted on the aboli tion of " Sinecure-offices," recently laid before the House of Commons on the motion of Mr. Ellic;!, and we there discover in a corner two retired Custom-house Storekeepers of Ireland, " H. Barre Beresford and L. Claudius Beresford," in the joint enjoyment of 4,3151. 7s. Bd. per annum of the public money for " doing nothing." Ample reasons these for supporting the crying abuses of the Irish Church, and for op posing economy and retrenchment I We earnestly hope that Mr. Hume next Session, and it is not now too late to give notice, will move for a Com mons' Committee specifically to ascertain and re port what portion of the public money this jobbing and lucky family has received in the last fifty years, and still enjoys. We make some exception in favour of a military member, who has fought the battles of his country ; but we think that the See of Armagh is alone sufficient to compensate the troop of Beresfords for all the public services they have rendered the State, and for the utmost extent of their " cure of souls." Their Temporal enjoyments have been fully equal to their Spiritual ministrations. The Archbishop of Armagh, with his train of Bishops, though in the Protestant part of Ireland, has " bene fices" without congregations, and laity without spiritual pastors. We marvel not that he should oppose Com missions of Church Inquiry, nor that he should with prophetic sagacity predict that Appropriation would follow the just settlement of Irish Tithes. Ireland, however, by the vote of the Lords on Monday, will be soon rid of its spiritual locusts. The Pluralists and redundant Priesthood of Ireland—the Deans and Chapters, with nominal functions and sinecure re venues—will rue the day when the Tory Peers rejected the Irish Tithe Bill. We are comforted by the belief that the sixty pieces of preferment or patronage enjoyed by " Armagh" will speedily be reduced. If we have not hereafter Beresfords or Knoxes we shall have Scholars and Divines. Where Ireland now has parishes without churches, we shall soon see the tithes otherwise appropriated than to non-re sidents and ecclesiastical drones. By the recent vote of the Lords the time is not far distant when the Irish Church will be no longer compared to the Irish regiment in which there was a whole train of officers, from the Colonel downwards, but only one private. We are not dismayed by the suicidal conduct of the Peers. The Catholic people of Ireland, how ever devoured by the Protestant Clergy, will not swal low one another. A reformed House of Commons will never prostitute the public purse to support such a shameless Church Establishment, thus left defence less by the Tory Lords, nor grant additional troops to suppress agitation originating in the perverse rejection of the Ministerial measure for terminating the evils of the Irish Tithe system. We have implicit reliance on the characteristic firmness and good sense of Lord Melbourne ; and that without being driven into colli sion with the people of Ireland—the apparent object. of the Tories—he will, if necessary, call Parliament together at any period ; and we shall then see whether the Hereditary Legislators can successfully oppose the King, the Commons, the Government, ,and the People. In the meanwhile our anxious hopes arc now fixed on the public course of Mr. O'Connell and the Irish na tion. A fearful responsibility rests on that popular individual. If judgment and discretion guide his steps—if he turns this tempting opportunity not to a bad but a good account, he will, by making the welfare of his country his care, cause himself to become as popular here as he is in Ireland. —Morning Chron. The conseqence of the rejection of the Irish Tithe Bill we do not presume to anticipate ; but this we, may venture to say, thatlhe Bill, if carried, would not have put an end to the ?tithe aaitation in Ireland. The measure, besides, was . one introduced to the House of Lords under circumstances any thing but creditable to the Melbourne Cabinet. It was one of the fruits of that discreditable itirigue which led to the sudden ejectment of Earl Grey from office, and made the father of reform a victim to the ascendancy of Mr. O'Connell in tile Councils of the nation. The Tithe Bill which the Cabinet had previously agreed upon was essentially different from the measure which the House of Lords has rejected, and which was, in fact, the price at which Lord Melbourne's Ministry purchased the patronizing support of the Irish agitator. If the House of Lords had, under th e c i rcumstances, passe d this Bill, it would have proclaimed itself to be nothing more than a sort of legislative machine to register whatever decree Mr. O'Connell might choose to dictate to the British Ministry, and we have seen that no concession extorted under the influence of the intimidation which the agita tor exercises, has ever led to any other result than more daring demands and fiercer agitation. It is our firm be lief than if the most extravagant of all his proposi tions—the Repeal of the Union, were conceded to Mr. O'Connell, it would be so far from satisfying him and his party th a t i t wou l d only open f o sturbulent political and qu e t loftier sp iri t sprospectthe peace and prosp erity of their country ambitionh a ve an ve t to an extinguishing effect. B yron says t h at quiet to t hose 17! 0 e u r n quick bosoms is a hell," and certainly from such a hell Mr. O'Connell and his " tail" do all they can to pro.
