" The Port Admiral " is a pungent toma hawk sort of attack on a late novel of that name. The writer appends to his criticism a letter written on the night before his execution by the ringleader (11. Parker) of the well known Nore mutiny, but we question its authen ticity ; the sentiments are too thoughtful and philosophical to have proceeded from a common sailor. " Foreign and Domestic Policy" is a fierce assault on Ministers, chiefly in conse quence of their policy with respect to Portugal. The Toot Peers are advised to show a bold, uncompromising front to the country. It is too late. PROTEST AGAINST THE IRISH CHURCH TEMPORALITIES BILL. DISSENTIENT. Ist. Because without any other ground but that of vague ex pediency, without any previous communication, without the advice of our Bishops and Clergy in convocation assembled, we have been called upon to give our assent to this Bill, which directly destroys ten bishoprics connected with our Established Church in Ireland; virtually extinguishes those Protestant livings where divine service has not been performed during the last three years, without the remotest reference to those canses which have led in many, very many, instances to the suspension of the religious duties attached to them ; namely, the bitter and cruel persecutions which, during that period, have been carried on through the instrumentality of Popish priests and dema gogues against the Established Church in that part of our em pire, which persecutions have been accompanied not only with the destruction of the property, but also of the lives of many of our Protestant Clergy. 2dly. That as the tendency of this Bill will be to weaken the spiritual interests of the Protestant religion in Ireland, and therefore in direct opposition to the letter and spirit of the Co ronation Oath, it is an insult on the part of this House to allow it to be submitted to our Sovereign for his consideration. idly. That as Christian Legislators we are bound to refuse our consent to this Bill, the object of which is to reduce our Protestant Church Establishment in Ireland, which it is our duty to endeavour to extend in that ignorant and benighted part of our empire, looking to that Church as the surest and best means of spreading the light of the Gospel amongst its unhappy and deluded peasantry, and of bursting those chains of error and superstition by which they are at present bound by the intolerant and bigotted priesthood of the Church of Rome, and of establishing that tranquillity and social order in that hitherto distracted country, which, through the unerring word of God, is promised to accompany the dissemination of sound scriptural truth. WINCHILSEA AND NOTTINGHAM. DEPLORABLE COACH ACCIDENT. BRIGHTON, JULY 21.—The painful duty devolves upon us to record a most calamitous accident which hap pened in this town on Thursday evening. The Quick silver, a coach recently started, leaves Brighton for the metropolis every day at five o'clock, and the proprietors, Mr. Hayllar and Mr. Alexander, profess to perform the journey in five hours, but it not unfrequently happens that the distance is accomplished considerably within that time. On the day i❑ question it was agreed that Mr. J. Snow, another coach proprietor, should drive the Quicksilver, and at five o'clock he mounted the box. There were ❑ine outside passenger, besides Mr. Hayllar and a coach man named Strevens, who were seated in the dickey, and four insides. The coach had not proceeded far when the horses broke into a gallop, and Mr. Snow, being unable to check their speed, the passengers evinced much uneasiness, and at length the danger becoming apparent, they called loudly for assistance. Between the King's stables and the Gloucester Hotel there are one or two sharp turnings, at one of which (in Glou cester-place) stood a tilted cart, which the horses shyed at and drew the coach off the road, and the vehicle at the same time giving a heavy lurch, it went fur some distance on two wheels, till the horses made for the centre of the road, when it upset. Nearly all the passengers were thrown violently against the iron pallisades t - thich enclose the North Steyne, and dreadfully bruised or mutilated. The affrighted animals dragged the coach, which was very much shattered, twenty or thirty yards, with three out of the four passengers, a child having fallen from the win dow at the time the vehicle was falling, whose finger was nearly torn off, and who was otherwise dreadfully bruised. The other passengers were more or less injured. A young lady, named Call, had her arm broken. But we now come to the most melancholy part of our task. A young man named Lyons, of the Jewish per suasion, about twenty-two years of age, whose friends are paper stainers in High Holborn, was seated on the box with the coachman, and when the coach upset was thrown with great violence against the pallisades; his face coining i❑ contact with the projecting part of the spikes presented such a spectacle, part of his jaw being torn away, that the heart sickened at the sight. This unfortunate young man had also several of his ribs broken, and his arm dreadfully fractured. He was conveyed to the King and Queen in a hopeless state. A gentleman named Pear son, a Common-councilman, who resides in the King's-road, had two ribs broken. Captain Hunter, an outside passenger, was much bruised about the head, and his thigh severely lacerated. He was conveyed to the Pa vilion Hotel, and he now lies in dreadful agony. The coachman was also seriously injured, and he has ever since been a great sufferer in his mind at the disastrous results. There is a positive split among the Tory clique. At their last meeting, at the house of their Great Captain, previously to the debate on the Irish Church Tem poralities Bill, Sir Joseph Surface and the Noble Duke himself absolutely refused to as•ist in forming any new Administration, from a full conviction that the country would not endure the change, even for " one little month." The pious pone•by ex-Chancellor, and that sagacious and renowned statesman, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, urged by the exemplary and devout pamphleteering Bishop, deter mined, at all hazards, to divide the House on the second reading. The ex-leader, however, said he should make a speech, and afterwards withdraw, which he did. —Morn jug Chronicle. THE CHOLERA AGAIN IN LONDON.—On Saturday Mr. FELL, the chief clerk at Marylebone-office, gave orders to all the officers belonging to the establish ment, by Messrs. Hosattis and RAWLINSON'S directions, to keep the office continually cleaned out, as two cases of cholera had, on Friday, broken out, one in the House of Correction, and the other at Paddington. • At the Newton races, on Thursday last, an accident of a most singular nature occurred ; two fine horses, one the property of Mr. Evaxs, of Newton, and the other of Mr. WINSLOE, of Exeter (the latter of which was a winner at the Buckfastleigh races), in going at full speed in opposite directions, encountered each other with such force, that their skulls were fractured, and they were both killed on the spot.—Bath Herald. A correspondent informs us, that a few weeks since, as a little boy, five years of age, was picking one of the small claws of a crab, he found a small bone domino imbedded amongst the meat, and without any appearance of there having been a previous fracture in the claw.— Newcastle Chronicle. An insolvent debtor, of the name of WILLIAM LONGSTAFF, bread baker, Durham, who intends to apply for his discharge at the next sitting of 'the Commissioner, states, in his schedule, that the cause of his insolvency arose from the following facts, viz.:—" in having a large family to support, and entertaining the primitive metho dist or ranter preachers."—Newcastle Chronicle. FEMALE COURAGE.—At the Lancaster As sizes, JOHN WILDRAKE was charged with a burglary in the cottage of SARAH NICIIOLSON, a widow, aged 75, at Moore End, Thorne. The widow and her two daughters were alarmed on the night of the 27th February, by some person bursting in the front window. The courageous females armed themselves with a hatchet, a bill-hook, and a poker, and threatened wounds and bruises to every leg and arm that attemped an entrance. The fellows threat ened dreadful vengeance, but they were only able to snatch away a muslin cap and a table-cloth, with which they made off. The evidence not being very conclusive against the prisoner, be was discharged. At the close of the Sittings at Gray's Inn 11411, last week, Lord LYNDHURST expressed a wish that Baron VAtic HAN should go the circuit for him, as he was anxious to dispose of the heavy arrear of causes in the Equity department of the Exchequer. One of the gentlemen at the Bar thanked his Lordship for his great con.ideration of the case of the suitors. The speech of the credulous Barrister afforded some amusement to the Bar, %vim suspected that another consideration might have fully as touch weight with the Noble and Learned Lord, as a sympathy with the suitors, namely, that he might be iu town in order to play a part in the political game that is now going on. His Lordship has seldom been accused of an over anxiety for suitors, either when Chancellor, or as head of the Equity department of the Exchequer. But no man has a finer nose for a political intrigue, or at ' tends4nore carefully to the signs of the times.—llloriling Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of CUMBERLAND honoured the Elrl of JERSEY with his company at dinner on Saturday, at his residence in Berkeley-square. The Princes ALEXANDER and CHARLES of Solms joined the evening party given by the Nob'e Earl. The Duke of GLOUCESTER honoured the performance of BELLINI'S opera "I Capuletti e Montecchi," at the King's Theatre on Saturday evening with his presence. The Princes of Satins honoured Mr. and Mrs. RoBARTs with their company on Saturday at the public breakfast given at their seat at Roehampton. A deputation from the Chamber of Commerce at Man 'cheater, headed by Mr. G. W. Noon, M.P., and including Messieurs Woon (of Manci.ester), BARLEY, and HaIiLEN, had an interview with Viscount ALTHORP and Mr. P. THOMSON o❑ Saturday, at the Treasury. Prince ESTERHAZY and Baron VERSTOLK, the Dutch Special Minister, had interviews with Viscount PALMERS TON on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. Despatches from Lord NUGENT, the Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Islands, were yesterday received at the Colonial-office. Despatches from the Governors of Canada, New Brunswick, and the Leeward Islands, were also received yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Earl of ALBEMARLF. entertained select parties at dinner yesterday and on Saturday, at the Stud-house, at Hamptota.court. Viscount At:rooter and Lnrd JSuN RUSSELL, and others of the Cabinet Ministers, were among the company. THEIR MAJESTIES. (From the Windsor Express of Saturday.) Both the KING and QUEEN, we are happy to state, continue to enjoy excellent health. The Princess Au cusra, who has been indiposcd for a few days at Frog more, is again convalescent. This day Lord NAPIER, of Runnel - node, Lord ASII EROOK, Mrs. General YANSITTART, of Binfield Lodge, &c., called at the Castle, and wrote down their names. This evening, the Baron and Baroness Bue.ow, Lord PALMF.RSTON, Sir - De Bolton, &c., arrived at the Castle, and had the honour of (lilting with their MAJESTIES. Lady SYDNEY and Lady ERSKINE, with their respec tive families, and Lady FALKLAND, are on a visit at the Castle. Lady MARY Fox left Windsor this day for London. On Monday their MAJESTIES and suite go to London, to visit the Exhibition, and return the same day. On Thursday, the Bth of August, the KING will give a grand entertainment to the field officers of the Royal Artillery of Woolwich, the Officers of the Ordnance, &c., at which it is expected that his MAJESTY will present that distinguished corps with a magnificent piece of plate. The dinner will take place in the Grand Banquetting room at St. James's. A difficulty appears to have arisen respecting the build ing of a new national gallery, and the disposal, until a permanent receptacle is found, of the paintings contained in the old gallery. It will be recollected that, at the death of the late Jonx JULIAN ANG ERSTEIN, his choice collection of chef d'auvres, consisting of between 40 and 50 pictures, many of them by the first artists, and of the highest class of painting—the ornaments of the Orleans, Colonna, and Borgliese galleries—were sold in conformity with his will, and purchased for the English nation, as the nucleus of a National Gallery. Since that period these fine paintings, together with some additions, have remained in Mr. ANG ERSTEIN'S house, being accessible to the public under certain regulations. The present de pository, however, has, by universal consent, been ad mitted to be quite inadequate as a public building, and it has therefore been determined, for some time past, to erect a new National Gallery on an improved plan by means of a Parliamentary grant. But there are obstacles, it seems, to the immediate erection of the new building, which certainly will not be commenced within the present year; at the same time, the old house, in Pall-mall, has long been condemned, and will shortly come down by Act of Parliament, so that some temporary depository must be found for these fine productions of the old masters. Buck ingham Palace has, we believe, been pointed out by his MAJESTY. Lord LYNDIJURST left town for Bucking ham without leaving his proxy. The Ex-Secretary of the Admiralty is gone to Switzerland for a month—in fact, the prime movers of the Conservatives are in utter despair, from an impression that " the game is up." The vigilant old whipper-in, however, remains at his post, to take advantage of any chance or accident that may arise calculated to cheer the expiring and chop-fallen Tories. The Duke of WELLINGTON, although he yielded to circumstances is withholding his opposition to the second reading of the Church Reform Bill, did not, however, compromise his previous policy, by giving the Bill the sanction of his vote—his Grace accompanied by the Earl of ROSSLYN, and a number of his friends, is said to have walked out of the House, on Saturday morning, when the Opposition demanded a division.— Observer. We understand that it is the fixed determina tion of Mr. TENNYSON to bring on his motion for shorten ing the duration of Parliaments, to-morrow, which, as his name stands first on the list of notices, cannot again be superseded, as it was on a former occasion. A meeting is about to be convened, with as little delay as possible, for the purpose of testifying, in some substantial way, the admiration and gratitude of all classes connected with Portugal. at the intrepid conduct of Captain NAVIEE. in capturing the Miguelite squadron. The Duke of Sussex, it is said, has consented to pre side on the occasion.— Times. KING'S THEATRE. Another Opera, by BELLINI, entitled I Capuletti ed i Montecchi, which had not before been heard in this country, was produced on Saturday night, after several postponements, and not for the benefit of the composer, as at first announced. We believe that this work, indebted to the talents of PASTA and to the love of novelty upon the Italian stage, bad a certain success at its original production. The audience of the King's Theatre are not so easily satisfied in these days, and the Opera, like its predecessor Norma, will fail to excite their attention or applause. The music is of a mediocre character even in its class, which is not the first. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT CLUE.—On Satur day last u number of the friends and admirers of the late Major CARTWRIGHT did honour to his memory, by dining together in the Eyre Tavern, St. John's Wood. The number present, we should suppose, was about 150, DANIEL O'CONNELL, E , q., in the Chair. On the right of the Chairman sat Mr. COBBETT, and on the left Mr. HUME, supported by several distinguished Reformers. The evening was most agreeably spent, ant every demon stration of regard to the memory of Major CARTWRIGHT was afforded which the most ardent of his friends could desire. The party broke up at a late hour. MEETING OF THE ANTI-SLAVERY SO CIETY.—A meeting of this Society was held on Saturday for the purpose of considering the Bill now before Parlia ment for the extinction of slavery, and especially to discuss the propriety of the clause for subjecting the slaves to twelve years' apprenticeship prior to their emancipation. There were upwards of 50 Noblemen and Members of Parliament present, among whom we observed Lord Sur • FIELD, Lord MILTON, Lord W. LENNOX, the Hon. C. PELHAM, Mr. Bum Nc IIA 31, Mr. PEASE, Colonel EVANS, Mr. D. W. HARVEY, Dr. LUSHINGTON, Sir E. WILMOT, Mr. GULLY, Mr. O'CONNELL, and Mr. POWELL BUX TON. Dr. LUSHINGTON, Mr. BUCKINGHAM, Mr. STRICK LAND, and other Members of Parliament addressed the meeting, and various resolutions in support of its objects, objecting to trust too much to the colonial legislatures, but expressing a willingness to assist the West India in terest, the moment the slave was emancipated, were carried; after which the meeting broke up. FACTORY COMMISSION.—A meeting was held in the Old Assembly-Room, Union-cross, Halifax, on Saturday evening last, of the friends of the Ten Hours Factory Bill, to consider the best means to be adopted with respect to " a libel" in the Commissioners' report upon those operatives who have taken an active part in behalf of the Bill. A variety of resolutions were moved and carried, and a petition founded upon them was s'gned by the Chairman and forwarded fur presentation to Par liament—Halifax Journal. The Echo de la Frontire relates the follow ing marvellous anecdote :—" For several days past a pretty little grey horse has been driven about Brussels with glasses let into the winkefs, bearing the appearance of a pair of spectacles, from the concave surface of which it may he presumed that the poor animal is near-sighted. We dare say that we shall soon have veterinary opticians !" LAUNCII OF A BRIG-OF-WAR.—PORTS MOUTH, JULY 20.—His Majesty's brig Racer, 16, was launched from the Dockyard on Thursday las', in the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, who were accompanied by Lady G. SEYMOUR, Baroness LuTanr, Sir Join; and Lady CONROY and the two Misses CONROY. The day being very propitious an immense number of fashionables assembled. The ship, having been christened by Miss ALLCOCK, niece to the late Admiral Sir T. FOLEY, at half-past eleven glided majestically into the water amidst loud acclamations. The Racer, which was commissioned lon Wednesday by Commander JAMES Hoes, was emu meneed building in the latter part of August, and is on the plan of the present Surveyor of the Navy, Captain SI , - MOND& The following are her ditnensions:--Length, 100 ft. bin. ; extreme breadth, 32ft. 4in. ; depth in hold, 14ft. 10in. ; tonnage, 428. NATURAL HISTORY. — Many people con sider the reptile called the slow-worm to be venomous, but it is a notion altogether erroneous. A person in this town has three of them alive, kept in a vessel, in which some moss is placed, which have been handled by others as well as himself, with perfect harmlessness. They have forked tongues, and may be said, for strict resemblance, to be the boa constrictor in miniature.—Sherborne Jour. FIGHT EXTRAORDINARY.—A couple, not long married, lately travelling i❑ a coach in Lincolnshire, commenced a contest with fists, but as the ladies, their fellow-travellers, were alarmed, and there was hardly room for their skill, the gallant husband and his amorous spouse alighted, and renewed the engagement, in the midst of which the coach went off and left them.— York Cliron. Tuesday morning a poor industrious man of the name of GEORGE COOPER, residing in Chapel•court, was found dead in bed. He came home from his work on Monday night, and complained of being faint, and during the night he got out of bed and sat upon the stairs. About three o'clock on Tuesday morning he put his arm round his child (who was sleeping in the bed with him and his wife), and exclaimed, " Oh ! I am dying." When his wife got up in the morning she thought he was asleep, but afterwards discovered he had been dead some time. —Sherborne Journal. In digging for the f o undation of a wall at the gas works in this town, the labourers discovered the ske leton of a human body. The head was about two feet six inches below the surface, and the feet only about one foot. The bones, on being exposed to the air, crumbled to pieces. At the same spot were found several silver coins of the reign of CHARLES 1., from which circum stance it is supposed that the body must have been put under the ground in such haste that the persons depositing it had not time to search the pockets. The thigh bone measured 21 inches.—Dorset County Chronicle. ROCHDALE TURN-OUT. O❑ Wednesday last, in the forenoon, a very numerous meeting of the woolle❑ weavers and spinners was held on Sparrow-hill, Rochdale, to take into consideration the rate of wages. Several speeches were mad::, from which it appeared that the prices given in 1824 were about one-third more than the prices at present. A resolution was unanimously adopted, that unless an advance of 2d. in the shilling was given, a general strike would take place. It was stated that the woollen trade was scarcely ever known to be so brisk as at present, and that a few of the small manufacturers were giving the advance. The turn-out has since taken place, and it appears to be general.— Leeds Mercury. THE MASTER DYERS IN LEEDS AND THE TRADES' UNION.—We understand that the worsted stuff dyers in Leeds, or at least nine or ten of the princi pal houses in that line, closed their works on Saturday night last, with the determination to oblige their work men to withdraw from the Trades' Union. According to present appearances, a great struggle betwee❑ the master manufacturers and the Trades' Union in the diffe rent branches of the woollen trade is at hand. The Go. vernment has, very properly, as we think, refused to re enact the combination laws, but they have, at the same time, declared their readiness and their determination to protect both the masters and workmen against any vio lence that may be offered to them either in carrying on in the manner that they think best their business, or in selling their labour at the best price they can obtain for it. —Leeds Mercury. BRISTOL.—A young man, well known in this city and its vicinity, engaged for a sum of money, last week, to ride from hence to Bath and back again, a dis tance of 24 miles, in an hour and a half ! On his return to Brislington, two miles from this city, having accom plished 22 miles in an hour and a quarter, the generous beast fell beneath the weight of his brutal rider ; and after being taken to the White Hart Inn, in that village, (lied in the space of an hour or two, in the greatest agony. The poor animal, when taken to the stable, was in such distress and pain that it continued rising up and down, like a hu man being under intolerable suffering, " till nature sunk exhausted and terminated his life'." Surely it is high time for man to throw the shield of protection over dumb creatures, especially the generous horse, against the cruel ties of such inhuman riders.—Sherborne Journal. The Court of Cassation has decided that the proprietors of public carriages are responsible for the full value of the objects intrusted to their charge, and lost, even though such value may not have been declared. In the case in question, an individual bad entered a box as containing " six shawls," without other de signation. After the box was lost, he proved that the shawls were cashmere, and worth 5,605 L The Tribu nal du Commerce had decided that he could only recover the price of ordinary French shawls, but the Court of Cassation reversed that decision. The Court also decided that the remedy of the proprietors of the diligence against the conductor of the diligence must be confined to 150 francs, because it was the custom to point out to his spe cial charge objects of greater value, and which was not done in this case, and be was therefore only liable on his ordinary guarantee.— Galignaues Messenger. A Polish Lieutenant arrived here from Dantaic on Wednesday evening week. The Governor of that town had informed him that he could only remain there on condition of speaking to no person ; on declaring this condition, he had the choice of proceeding either to France or England. He chose the latter, and wishes to get to London—he is destitute. His father was a Baron, who resided at Wornie, in the government of Wilna. He is dead ; the young man's mother is dead—his family ex tinct—and all his property gone. It was his horrid fate, on entering his paternal dwelling, to see the authors of his being murdered on the floor—there lay his father, his mother, with deep gashes in her side, and in fact, there lay the whole household. This was the bloody work of the wild Bashkirs, Circassians, and other infernal tools of the man that mocks the world, shakes hands with Eng land's sailors, and prays nightly to God for their King ! " My God ! my God !" says the poor Pole, " Poland is the most unhappy country in the world !"—Hull Rock ingham. CHARGE OF RAPE.—WILLIAM PEACH, aged 18, was indicted for a felonious assault on ANN GaErx, on Sunday, the 14th of April last, in the parish of Southwick, in this county. The prisoner was a la bourer; the prosecutrix was in the same station of life, and about 20 years of age.—The young woman stated that, as she was going on a message, the prisoner met her and accompanied her on her way home, as if to show her the way, and there he threw her on the grass, and accomplished his base purposes, in spite of all her resist ance.—The defence was, that the young woman invited the prisoner, that lie did not accept the invitation, and, because he would not, she in spite charged him with the offence.—Wituesses were called, who spoke to some loose conduct of the p:osecutrix some years before, all which she most posit rely denied. The prisoner, after an investigation of two or three hours, was acquitted.—. Stamford .News. A singular act of female delinquency occurred in this neighbourhood last week. The family of Mr. JOHNSON, of West Walton, were thrown into great alarm on the morning of the 10th inst. by the outcry of thieves, from one of his servants, and on searching it appeared that 17/. was missing which had been taken from a writing d es k ; besides two bands of beer being left running in the cellar, and bread scattered about the fluor ; and a quantity of books was also ti e d up , w i t h i ntent to take them away ; but nothing could be heard or seen of thieves though in stant search was commenced after them. There is, it seems, at Walpole, near Wisbech, a singular being called the Wise Woman, who has the fame in these pins for disclosing lost property and reading divinity. To this woman Mr. JOHNSON resolved to apply, but this so inti midated the real author of the theft, which was his own servant, who is about 15 years old, that she made a full disclosure, and the next morning absconded. The National Political Union met at No. 8, Theobald's.row, Red Lion-street, on Tuesday evening. After a lengthened discussion, the following resolutions passed unanimously:__" Resolved, 1. That the line of conduct pursued by the majority of the Council of the Political Union from the period of its first formation has been marked by hypocrisy, treachery, and imbecility— hypocrisy, m pretending to be the friend of th e p e ople, inwhile, fact, their only object seems to have been to keep the people's most deadly enemies in power; treachery, in wilfully neglecting to take advantage of the great moral and local influence of the Union on many most important occasions ; imbecility, palpably shown in the maladminis tration of the affairs of the Union ; and in consequence of their recent conduct, we feel ourselves free to pursue the course best calculated to uphold the principles we have adopted, and we hereby declare the necessity of an imme diate reorganization o f thi s b o dy. 2.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Any criticism upon so much only of Bishop Pbillpotts's speech on the Temporalities Bill as concerned even ro motely the principles or objects of that measure may be comprised within a very narrow compass, The learned and loquacious Bishop refused to pay more than a tithe of his vast oration to the" Church." The bulk of the dis course is a philippic against Acts of Parliament formerly passed—against the members of certain Parliamentary Committees—against the King's Ministers—against Doc tors Doyle, M'Cabe, and the body of the Catholic priest hood ;—it is a philippic, indeed, against the Bill also, where Dr. Phillpotts condescends to treat of its provisions ; hut we have looked in vain for arguments requiring muc , i serious answer. In speaking of the abolition of the vestry cess, which he professes to approve of, the Right. R v. Lord objects to any portion of the substitute fur that arbi trary impost coming forth from the pockets of the clew y. "It ought," says he, "to fall upon the land." But a large share of such land, as his Lordship knows, is no other than Catholic property; a tax on which, for pur poses exclusively apertaining to the Church, would be, in other words and in substance, that same vestry cess levied for objects in which Catholics have no concern, aeainst which so just a clamour has been raised, and for whose abolition the Bishop Phillpotts declares himself an advoca.e. For our parts we should have no objection to see the whole charge of the Church of Ireland come elf the Irish land—not merely what was requisite for the support of all ranks of the clergy, high and lox—but so much additional as might be wanting for repair of churches, and those other ends to which the obnoxious vestry cess has been appropriated. But in that case it would be a part of our condition that other churches besides the Protestant should likewise he decently supported from the land—from which abundant sour cc, moreover, the miseries of pauperism ought to he relieved, and the pecuniary means of general education for the children of the poor of Ireland ought to ha provided. This, however, goes far beyond and al oce the contemplation of the present Bill. Dr. Phillpotts, as might have been expected, was great in his dissertation on the fitting numbers and the paramount duties of Bishops. To his right reverence it would seem a more palatable sort of reform that the English bench should be extended, so as to make tire superficial measurement of England and Ireland respectively the standard of their relative sees, than that tie Irish prelates should be reduced by even the frag ment of a single mitre. His Lordship hints at the expe diency, rather, of raising the English Bishops from 26 to 37, than of subtracting 10 front the Irish, th a t, i n a combined proportion of multitude and magnitude, tin: two benches and the two islands might be equal. To save the field of ecclesiastical patronage untouched in Ireland, he would enlarge it here; exhibiting a mixed and somewhat loose equation thus, as IS miles to 30, so 22 Bishops to 37 ! But his reverence does not leave the work in a state so crude and unfinished : he knows that another element exists from which to com pound his table of comparative episcopacies. Dr. Phill potts by no means forgets that the relative numbers of souls to be cared for ought to enter into his account, and a curious account he makes of them. His Lordship first finds out that the number of English prelates having 5,000,000 of Protestants under their spiritual guidance is too small ; and then, to get rid of the difficulty forced upon him with regard to Ireland, by the general acknow ledgment of the small amount of Protestant souls to be saved in that country, he actually turns round upon his own doctrine, calls on the Catholics for succour, and broadly, and without relaxing for an instant the p..renoial smile upon his countenance, proclaims that the dirties of an Irish Bishop are increased by the enormous propertion of Catholics to Protestants in his diocese ! L rugh at this, or cry " Prodigious !" No, we dare not ; it is too much for our astonishment—it takes away cur breath. Why, then, if all were Catholics, there must be a reinforcement of Bishops—of Bishops—for the grand work of proselytism, for such is the avowal of Dr. Phillpotts. 1 - Is says that it is the duty of Protestant Bishops to try and " win over to the Established Church the Catholics, who are estranged from it ;" therefore the more Catholics, it follows the more Protestant prelates there must be employed to " win then► over ;"—a costly experiment we opine, and savouring more, as one mieht imagine, of the Popish spirit of conversion, than of that mild tolerance for an adverse faith which Dr. Phillpott has blown forth ere now, through the spiracle; of his cer tainly not proselyting pamphlets. It was hardly to be hoped that this pugnacious Bishop would leave off tor menting his hearers with the long-since-exploded cant about the nature and tendency of the coronation oath. lie stood out stilly fur the asserted restraint imposed by the oath upon the King in his legislative capacity, as if one rational being would suspect that any branch of the Le gislature, whether Commons, Lords, or King, cott!tl, with eyes open, be criminal enough to abdicate its own most necessary functions for ever, or as if the necessary meaning of the oath was not that the King, as executor of the laws, bound himself to an enfOrcement of all those powers, to the observance of all those duties, a submission to all those restraints, and a bona fide fulfilment of all those ob- ligatious which he should himself concur with the otlit , r branches of the Legislature in establishing against him self and in favour of the people fur the public good ; but the oath did nothing further. Lind Piunket, in an able speech, demolished this as well as other extravagancies of the subtile Bishop, who, like others of his cloth, appears to have fallen into the fatal error, that a rich and over bearing Church must be in the ratio an efficient instru ment for serving the cause of that religion of which it is the outward representative. Never was any fallacy more ruinous to religion than this. Even the Bishop of Exeter must allow that the Church of Ireland has not been scan tily supplied with revenues, or with gentlemen in clerical robes to enjoy them. How happens it, then, that a eburch thus favourably circumstanced, if werlth awl a great body of nominal Ministers be in its favour—that such a church should not have been able to keep together its own members, much less to " win over" the smallest fragment of stray souls from the non-established, miens dower', long-discountenanced, and persecuted hierarchy of the Catholics? The Catho'ic Church of Ireland has been a mendicant Church,—its Ministers literally supported by the charity of their congregations. The Protestant Church has been the wealthiest in Europe, after that of Spain, with enormous patronage, and with legislative power at its back ; and how have these two rivals prospered ? The poor one has thriven, its mem bers have multiplied, its pastors, independent of the state, and of everybody but their own confiding flacks, have grown in strength and influence and authority : while the Church established by law, and drawing immense revenues from the country, has, from lack of ts-al, know ledge, piety, sacerdotal character, no less than by the oppressive nature of the mechanism put together for its maintenance, lost itself in the eyes of even its own children, has stagnated where the ad verse and originally prostrate and hungry church has moved onward, and is now in danger of being 'sent empty away." It is impossibly not to advert once more, howev,r briefly, to the speech of the Duke of Wellington, and to the ominous tendency of that dis course, according to the construction put upon it in a variety of quarters. Our own hope It is been ;Arcady tleclared, though, perhaps, with more confilenve than the case would fully justify, that the Duke of Wellington could not mean to support the second reading of the Bill for the sake of effecting, through the mutilation of it in eo.nmittee, what his Grace was afraid to attempt by the mote manly anti daring course of the total rejection of its principle on the second reading. 'Fite matter stands thus— The Duke avows, that if no act at all be passed by the Legis'ature, the Church of Ireland " must go." is wus impossible, lie said, that the Church of Ireland could " stand for a day, if some measure of this kind were not passed for its relief." By a measure of " this kind," the Solie Duke must mean, of course, some measure of which the leading provisions coincided with those of the Bill in question. With what consistency, therefore, or with what pretension to that immoveable rectitude by which his Grace's political career and character have been, say his friends, so remarkably distinguiAed, is it that the Duke of Wellington, after such an acknowledgment of the necessity for the present Bill, contrived throughout his speech to attack so fiercely all the leading clauses and pro visions by means of which the measure is to operate for the well-being of the Church of Ireland ? How cause the Duke to reprobate—first, the principle on which the ecele siastieal commission is framed, explaining his objection to be, that the commission was not to be exclusively one of ec clesiastics ? How, with an approval of the Bill as a whole upon his Fps, did the Duke of Wellington venture to condemn the proposed reduction in the number of Bishops ? Wherefore, once again, did his Grace insist on the inadmissibility of a third important clause, fir retu eing any application of the public money towards building another, per tlie a church in a parish where there hail been no *:ervice formed during three whole years ? If a county cd'ilreeet be a farce, what is the erection of li b t ei e jni rc ic e t'3 o t Maffee called the Catholic church to stand ein;:ty d f , r ,f on t a be on n e o ::: be literally what Archbishop. rs re tom —a speech establishment—"a Church without a . When the Duke of Wellington announced less but affecting recor d seasons faith, and of the profanation of our ecclesiastical his resolution to oppose the above -mentioned clauses of the Bill, he a ught, in common candour, to have said Let us throw out the measure without further noise or resources ?
