lIE LONDON JOURNALS. ' t. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING; P, k r RS August 29. IN.Ew TIMES.] Since the commencement of the Coronti'lln quest on Honey,' much has. occurred to excite • the regret of all who . feel a sincere ven e rati o n f oi l the laws and the tribunals of the country. N ot hci*eVer, more remarkitible has taken place than the reception of litr. Adolphus.by one or two of the. Sury. We say by one op.-I -two indi viduals, because we are unwilling ta_srippose that the'feeling thuManifested could be general,:— The evident diSindination to hear the Learned Counsel . will appear still' more strange, when viewed in:connexion with the previous proceed. ings. . The Jury met to inquire into the circum stances of Honey's death, and at the very outset, Waithman appeared at the request of a relative' of the deceased. He was at once, and without opposition, all Owed to take a prominent part iu the investigation as an advocate —he collected Witnesses, examined . thcin, offered suggestions to the Court, and gave his opinion on questions as they arose. Whatever 'eqiinate may be formed of his legal knowledge or of his motives, the' merit of 'zeal and forward ness in the cause he espoused will certainly not be denied to him. ,The Coroner. (for he and not the Jury is the proper judge of .t4e practice of 'the Court) permitted this interference without :interruption ; and with the aid of the Sheriff of Middlesex, acting as Counsel for the friends of the deceased, the Inquisition advanced so, f ar 'that it was -thought proper to endeavour to iden tifLsorne person as concerned in bringing about the death of Honey. .-The witnesses, however, called for this purpose, have accused half a dozen different individuals ; and Mr. Waithman 'him self has declared that his impression differs from that of the Jury on the' point of the individual implicated. It is clear, then, that almost every Officer in the regiment-must be interested in the matter—for there 'is' an-calculating upon whom such a hap-haiard• * choice may fall. The Officers, therefore, as might ,reasonably _be expected, seeing a Sheriftqlnid a Magistrate ac tively employed in marshalling and bringing up evidence against them, are desirous of employing an agent for. the purpose of counteracting these efforts. Finding , that Mr. Waithman's efforts " to elicit the truth" relate only to such kind o 'truth as - would tend to criminate them, they a naturally anxious that' such points of truth as would tend to exonerate or to justify them may also be heard. Accordingly, they employ L---first, Mr. Hanson, and subsequently, Mr. Adolphus. The first of these Gentlemen had•to encounter much • opposition in the discharge of his duty. But upon the appearance of Mr. Adolphus—this was redoubled. The one or two individuals to whom we have alluded seemed to imagine that they Were attacked—that some strange opposer had suddenly risen up, and that it was necessary to overcome the difficulty. One of them talked of a resolution not to swerve from his duty—another knew not what business Mr. Adolphus had there —another wanted no instructions—and, by way of climax, one asked, what advice the Counsel had given to his clients. e„ For the feeling thus shewn we sre perfectly at a' loss to account, for a Jury can be _influenced by no desire but that of obtaining the means of forming a correct judgment, and 'must of course be free from all prejudice and partiality with respect to patties intefested, or supposed' to be interested, in a matter under examination. They can have no sympathy with political parties or partisans, and can have no wish but that justice may be done.— Perhaps this end would be best accomplished in. cases of this kind, by leaVing the management of 'the inquiry entirely to the Coroner, who would. of course, listen to suggestions from the Jury, or other respectable individuals.; but if an advocate he admitted on one side, common fairness requires that one should also be alloWed to appear on the other. The whole case is to be heard a n d de- cided on cautiously and dispasbionately ; and we are quite sure that if one thing would tend more than another to make the country care little about the Verdict which may be given, it would be any attempt to exclude or unnecessarily to restrain the Learned Gentleman whose presence has been called for by the warmth of advocacy displayed in enforcing every point favourable to one particUl e ar view of the affair under investiga tion. [BRITISH PRESS.] We cannot refrain from expressing our surprise at the objections urged by some of the Jurors forming the Inquest upon the body of Richard Honey, to the, attendance of Mr. Adolphus as Counsel on the' part of the Ist Regiment of .Life Goards. These Objections are the more.remark able, as tio.difficulty was started by these sticklers for some supposed regularity and certain imaginary rights of Jurors, when Mr. Waithman appeared with his lists of witnesses, as - an advotate on the part of the relatives of the deceased, or even when Mr. Hanson presented himself on ,behalf of the Life Guards, and assisted the Jury in the exami nation and cross-examination of m itnesses.— Mr. Adolphus only supersedes Mr. Hanson ; and if'his long experience at the bar, his habits of business, his extensive learning, and excellent understanding, give Mr..Adolphas many advan tages in assisting the Jury to elucidate the•trutli, we can see no reason why on that account objec :tions should be particularly started to preve i nt his attendance upon the inquest . It was urged by Some of the Jurors that in an•investigition of this nature there are no parties, and .that, there fore, no professional men ought to be admitted for the avowed purpose of representing particular in terests. This observation may be very correct in the abstract, and very probably as true in its ap plication to the greater number of inquiries which we see instituted every week into the:causes that lead to the. deaths of individuals. But when the circumstances of any particular case present themselves in such a manner to our sober view, as to spew at once an exception to a general rule, why should we interrupt the exercise as our or dinary understanding, and wrap ourselves wvhi n the deep folds of any abstract proposition? Is I there a man in the Empire, who, being aware of the present inquiry, does not feel perfectly satis fied that 4 - involves no other question than whe ther. the troops employed at Cumberland-gate were justified in firing upon the people or not ? Can it I)4lbelieved that this question is not pre sent to the minds of the Jurors, and thjs ques tion only ? And such being the case, is it not miserable 'quibbling to say that the life guards are not more interested in the pending inquiry than any other body of men in the Empire ? [MORNING POST.] _ _ . It is really painful to see how far party spin or perionar irritation may destroy a man's me mory, or cause him to deviate from strict vera city in his statements. It is the more painful, when the conduct of the individual had been such, on -a particular occasion, as to create a hope that he had perceived and was disposed to amend the errors of his course, and to confine himself in future to the attentive discharge of his consti tutional duties. .Such, we are not ashamed to confess, was the foolish hope which we had formed in witnessing Mr: Waithmates conduct during the late outrageous attack on the military at the Knightsbridge Barracks. If if has already vanished, the fault is entirely his dwn. It could not possibly survive the ljter which he wrote last Monday to Earl Bathurst on those dis graceful occurrences, and which be last night sent round to all the Papers. We had appealed to his candour, what must be our feelings when we find by this letter, that he must either have been the source of all the misrepresentations published by the Radical Press, Or has adopted them as his own, against his better knowledge of the real circumstances and facts of the case, for the purpose of throwing the blame "of the affair on the Military! There is no escaping from the alternative, unless we should-charitably suppose that the nervous agi tation which'seizesl upon the worthy Sheriff after he had exerted himself with considerable energy and intrepidity during the conflict, had erased the original impression of things from his mind,. and compelled him to have recourse to the Public Papers in order to know what had passed on that occasion, in which case, he would naturally enough apply to those Journals which professed the same political sentiments as his own. Certain it is, that 'his whole account betrays such a confusion of times and circumstances, that if if be not the work' of art and intention, it must be that of dis ordered memory or agitated brains.' [MORNING CHRONICLE.] ' A Letter from Mr. Sheriff Waithman to Lord Bathurst, on the subject of the resistance offered to the Civil Authority of the County by the sol diery at Knightsbridge, Barracks, will be found in another column. The country will look for ward with the deepest anxiety to the answer which his Lordship may return to this Letter. Much will depend on that answer. The circum stances communicated by the Sheriff are of that nature, that human ingenuity cannot furnish his Lordship with even a pretext for evading the consi deration of them. A direct conflict has taken place between the civil authority and a portion Of the army, and Ministers must range themselves either on the side of the soldiery, or on the side of the laws. We almost tremble to think of the conse quences which may result from their decision. The circumstances which took place between Tuesday the 14th and Sunday last, were al ready but too much calculated to fill all who have any regard for our Constitution with alarm. A. claim was set up and acted upon by Minis ters to withdraw the soldiery from responsibility to the laws of the country. There were no means, it was said, of ascertaining the names of the soldiers employed in any particular affair. The Commanding Officer possessed no information on this subject, the Adjutant knew only the names of the Officers, no list was kept by any one of the names of the soldiers. When soldiers, there fore, are brought to act illegally against th e people, there is no means of identifying them and bringing them to trial. If their conduct affords satisfaction to the Ministers for the time, they can have nothing to fear from any other quarter, for there is no individual from whom the names of the persons implicated can be obtained, and Ministers have claimed the power of allowing none to enter their fortresses or barracks but such persons as they choose, and at such times and manner as they choose. The order which Colonel. Cavendish gave to the military to do their duty against the Coroner's Jury which ven tured to approach the barracks, was au expres sive way of intimating to the people, the opinion of Ministers with respect to these sacred spots. [THE TIMESI With the approach of that hour which has been long looked forward to as likely to deter mine the question of peace or war in the east of Europe, the anxiety of politicians has of course become nlore urgent ; and for those who are re sident near the scene of anticipated action, or of busy negociation, it is no wonder that their pulse shOuld beat more than commonly high, and that the statements, opinions, or rumours which they send forth, should circulate and succeed each other with corresponding rapidity. Intelligence arrived yesterday by an express from Vienna, that Baron Strogonoff had, before the departure of the courier, actually reached Odessa; adding, that his journey thither was in obedience to orders from his Court, which had recalled him. As much of the question of peace or war must necessarily depend upon the spirit by which that removal of the Russian Ambassador was dictated, it would be indiscreet to pledge ourselves on that'' part of the subject ; but it is our duty to say, that we have received a strong assurance of the pacific intentions of the Court of Russia, and of the recall of Baron Strogonoff having originated in a representation from the Divan, that his con duct in regard to the Greek insurrection had in spired-his Highness with an extreme repugnance to consider that Minister as tile future medium of intercourse between the Porte and the Russian Cabinet. Nothing leaving yet been officially publiShed as to the real demands of Russia, it is not a matter of perfect certainty to what extent the several versions of her Ultima turn are authentic ; or whether the Ultimatum itself may deserve that title so strictly as to have keen delivered with an understanding that it would admit . no shadow of qualification.—ft is now confidently stated that Austria has under taken the office of mediator, and is ,to deter mine how far ltusiia and Turkey may each, with honour, indulge their separate pretensions. —As for the . mediation of Austria, it must be confessed that if Lord Strangford acts in qua lity of adviser to the Sublime Porte, his Government could not with any consistency solicit or accept the mediatorial duty. Of the pacific dispositions of the Porte, if guided by the British Minister, there can be less doubt than of the capacity of the Turkish Government to com municate its own prudence or moderation to the soldiers who are known to be infected with a rage for war, and who have often, in the history of their unhappy country, compelled the to vernment to rtish headlong into a conflict, which it could neither maintain with success, nbr ter. mit - late without a sacrifice both of dignity and power. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. iNlALßonouon-STitt E Figg, the journeyman tailor who was committed to TothiMeal Bridewell on Monday (in default of bail), for exciting rioting at Knights bridge on Sunday evening, was yesterday broUght up on a charge of felony.—ln consequence of the newipapei report yes terday, two City - officers who had been the last fortnight on the look-out for thOprisoner, applied at this Office, and stated that he had robbed a poor laundress in Nettlebed-court, Aldersgate - street, of shirts, handkerchiefs, and other articles. Wales, the officer, .went to the prison, and on searching him, found one of .the stolen shirts upon the prisoner's back, and a handkerchief -on his neck, besides ten duplicates of cloth, wearing apparel, &c. which, from the price affixed to the duplicates, must have been new. Be was brought up in a shirtless state and identified.— This-robbery was committed in the house where• the prisoner lodged, sixteen days since, although, when examined for the riot, he said he had not been in London during the last three years.—The prisoner was remanded till Thursday to see if the owner of the pledged goods will appear, OUTRAGE TO A LIFE GITARDSIIAN.—Win.Burrowes and Dan. Menzies, a shoemaker and a tailor, were charged with riot and -assaulting Jos. Earnshaw, a private in the Life Ouards.— It appeared by the testimony of the Dragoon, which was corro borated by most respectable witnesses, that he was attacked in Oxford-street on Monday evening by a mob, on leaving the house of a relative, who assailed him with the epithets mur derer, butcher, &c. which he did not notice. Ile was next at tacked by stones, fists, dead cats, &c.; but some respectable persons passing by interfered, or according to their testimony he Must - have been killed. The complainant walked towards the Office, the mob following him to the very door, when the two Prisoners, who had repeatedly st'pck the complainant with their fists, were secured by the officers in attendance.— An affray took place between the officers and others aim attempt ed a rescue, to the discomfiture of the latter.—Remanded. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Bricklayers Arms, Mount-street, Grosvenor-squaie, before Mr. GELL, Coroner for Westminster, on the body of a gentleman drowned in the Serpentine-river, Hyde-park.- -It appeared from the evidence produced, that the deceased was about the middle age ; he was well dressed, but had no property about him.— About four o'clock on Sunday, two gentlemen saw him - walking on the bank of the Serpentine, looking into the water. One of them observed to the other, that he meant to drown himself, but took no further notice of him at that time.— Iry a short time afterwards they saw his clothes on the bank, and applied at the receiving house for a boat to search for the body in the water. A woman, who answered from within, said her husband was in bed, and she could not disturb him. She refused to let them have the boat or drags. They then went to . the Horse. Barracks, Ilyde-park, and brought some of the soldiers to the spot where , they suspected the body was; but the soldiers bad no means to drag for it. At eleven o'clock next day a boat was procured; the body was found in the identical place, and was carried to St. George's Workhouse, in Mount-street. The Coroner and Jury censured the conduct of the people at the Receiving House for not endeavour ing to get the body out at first, as perhaps then by proper attention life might have been restored. The circumstance of the deceased having un dressed led them to believe that he went to bathe in the water, and they consequently returned a Verdict of—Accidental Death. A pike, which weighed twenty-one pounds, was caught in the river near Barcombe Mill, in Sussex, on F riday last, and presented to the Duke of Yottx. at: Brighton. The spirited Corporation of Liverpool have expended, within the last two years, upwards of 150,0001. in the purchase and taking down of old and useless buildings, for the improvement of the town. Mr. LOCK has liberally presentid his celebrated cartoon of Leda, by MicuArr. ANGELO, to enrich the collection of the great Masters forming in the Royal Academy by the President and Aca demicians. A respectable meeting of the 'inhabitants of tile hamlet of Highgate - was held on Monday evening at the Gate-house, for the purpose of considering and adopting the best measures to discover tile tietpetrator of the late atrocious murder of the watchman in the neighbourhood, and for providing for the future security of that neighbourhood ; when it was determined that the Chairman, the Rev. Dr. OWEN, should wait upon the Under Secretary of State, and request that a reward should be proclaimed for tile dis covery of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the murder. It was agreed that a hundred guineas should be offered by the Hamlet for the same purpose. A subscription was immediately set on foot to raise this sum, and Dr. OWEN was re quested to conduct its application. The-Hunterian Museum of Glasgow was some' • _ time ago presented by Lady KEITII with a gold sovereign of the reign of Queen ErAz.terru, two antique coins found in a temple in the plain of Marathon, in Greece ; two antique coins found in the Temple of Juno, at Athens ;'and three ancient coins from the Temple of Jupiter Olym pus, at Athens. _ . SINGULAR PuuriomENoN.—The following re markable occurrence took place near Tockington, Gloucestershire, on Saturday last :—A heavy fall of small shells, of the snail species, was observed which covered the surface of a field of about three acres, to the depth of nearly an inch. The shells are streaked, and. about the size of a pea.—(Bris tol Gazette.) THE ASSIZES. CROYDON. TUESDAY, AUG. 28. MURDER. At eight o'clock this morning . , Mr. Justice BUHROC(.II came into Court, and Shortlyafter DAVID THOMAS was putto the bar; the indietment charged, that he on the 21st of July; at Lambeth, in the county of Sat ray, - of malice aforethought, did inflict upon the belly of one John Mathews a wound, with a certain sharp instrument, of which he languished for thirty-four hours . in Guy's Hospital, and then died. Mr. Law appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and called the following evidence to substantiate his case. -.Mr. Mengay, a surgeon of Guy's Hospital, deposed that the deceased was brought into the Hospital about six o'clock in the evening. Witness then examined the wound, it was about an inch in depth, and inflicted on the lower part of the abdomen ; the intestines had been injured and part of them, protruded through the body. The wound in his opinion had been given i with a knife, and was what is termed a ripping wound. Wit ness was of opinion that had skilful and immediate ass i s t ance been giien, the danger of the deceased would have been very materially diminished. At the time he examined the wound , he considered it dangerous, but ditinot communicate his opinion to the patient. Jeremiah Bryant stated, that he was a fellow -workman with the prisoner and deceased, at Mr. Rutter's mustard-manufac tory, Lambeth-butts ; recollects the day named in the indict ment ; precisely as the six o'clock bell was ringing observed the deceased come from the manufactory and go towards his own house ; he was stooping, with his hands placed on the bottom of his stomach, and appeared in great agony.—[ The further exa mination of this witness was postponed to a more adiranced stage of the trial.] John Jones was a foreman in the employ of Mr. Rutter ; on the day of the unfortunate occurrence, he saw the prisoner and deceased standing together in the mill ; they appeared to be talking ; saw a pot of porter standing, but did not see either of them drink ; they were talking across a pair of mill -stones si tuated there ; should suppose the stone to be about five feet in diameter ; did not perceive any quarrelling, nor rotice any noise until he heard. Mathews call out " Murder, murder !" On going up stairs into the finishing room the prisoner ran by him, upon which witness laid hold of him by the arm, and ask ed him what he h a d d one ? Prisoner exclaimed, " r want my knife—where is my knife ?" Another workman, named Chap pell, at this pe r i o d came u p sta i rs an d l a id h old of the prisoner's other ann. Shortly after Smith, a constable, arrived, when lie was delivered into his custody. Cross-examined on behalf of the prisoner by Mr. ANnItE . WS. Had known the prisoner for 12 years ; was the same country man as witness (a Welshman); knew hiln to be a most kind hearted, humane man ; he took a delight in doing acts of kind.. ness. The mill being at work occasioned a considerable noise, that would have prevented his hearing any quarrelling had there been any taking place ; if any push had been given to any one so as to occasion his falling on the stones, he would run great risk of being crushed to atoms. Re-examined by Mr. Law.—Did not observe any.scufiling, or any , other appearance of quarrelling. John Chappell, the workman above alluded to, corroborated the statement of Jones ; he also bore testimony to the kind hearted and humane disposition of the prisoner. William Mathews (a youth about fifteen), the son of the de ceased, was at the manufactory on the day of the unfortunate occurrence. The prisoner in the afternoon came to me twice, and asked where my father was ; he wanted him,to have some beer. Soon after my father came in, when I told him David Thomas wanted him ; he went down into the mill ; I had occa sion to go to see what it was o'clock, my father was then talk- ing to Master Jones. Prisoner shortly after came in ; he had a pot of norter in his hand ; he asked my father what he had been talking to Jones about ; my f a th er rep li e d , t h at M r. Jones, had been talking about " cutting throats" (this was explained to be a by term used amongst those employed in the manufac tory for back-biting) ; has he, replied the prisoner? 1-under stand you have been " cutting my throat," too ; Mr. Rutter told me so yesterday at dinner time. Did he, said my father ? he is out now, but when he comes in; we will see about it. 1' then left the prisoner and my • father together. At a fey,:mi nutes before six I saw my father again ; his hands were placed on the lower part of his belly, and there was the appearance of blood. ee,e Catharine Mathews, the wife of the.deceased,,stateether hus band to have come to his home; which is about fifty yards from the manufactory ; he was wounded on the lower pan of his stomach. Mr. Young, a surgeon, was sent for, who:Teem mended that her husband should be taken to the hospital ; he was conveyed there on a shutter; she had several conveisiiticaisi with him respecting what hitt! happened. Here Mr. ANDREWS took an objection to what the deceased , had stated being given in evidence, as it was not, the Learned Counsel said, proved that at the time the unfortunate man con sidered himself in a dying state. The Learned Judge over-ruled the objection, and The witness resumed—She believed her husband to be urn- 1 -pressed with the idea that he should not survive; about two hours before he expired, she asked him if he had quarrelled with David Thomas ? he replied no, unless it was by drinking the King's health in the morning, when they went to have a pint of beer before they began work : the prisoner was in a great pas sion at it, and swore until he foamed at the mouth. .The toast was, " Prosperity to King George the Fourth, and may he cone tented be, whether he 'is bound or free." He expired at four o'clock on the Sunday morning, having a short time previous expressed his fears he should never see his children again. The examination of Jeremiah Bryant was now resumed—He assisted in conveying the deceased to the hospital ; he expressed great reluctance in going, and said-, if he went to the hospital, I he should never see his wife and children again ; he appeared in great pain, and frequently ejaculated oh, oh ! a considerable quantity of blood was on the clothes of the deceased. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. Aemitiws, and gave similar testimony to that already given as to the humane disposition of the prisoner. John Chappell was again called. He was present in the public house ; it was the Coach and Horses, at Lambeth-butts ; he remained with the deceased and prisoner from six till eight o'clock ; did not hear any toast given, nor observe the prisoner to be in a passion ; thinks if the toast had taken place lie must have noticed it. Here the case closed on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Justice BURROUGH then addressed the prisoner, and told him the period had now arrived when, if he had any thing to say, he must submit it to the Jury. Prisoner—l will leave it entirely to my Counsel. Mr. ANDREWS called Mr. Merchant; Mr. Smith, Mrs. Jef freys, and several other respectable inhabitants residing at Lam beth-butts and its neighbourhood, who gave the prisoner a most unexceptionable character for kindness and humanity of dispo sition ; many of them had known him for 12, none less than seveu years. Mr. Justice BURROUGH proceeded to explain the law as ap plicable to the case, stating, that a murder had been com mitted, and it was for them to say if it had been done by the prisoner ; he considered himself bound to state to them, that the offence could not be manslaughter, as the evidence had ne gatived, in the most complete manner, the idea that had been suggested of the parties having had any quarrel at the time the unfortunate occurrence took place ; he then recapitulated the evidence. The Jury, after about five minutes consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty of Wilful Murder, but recommended him to mercy on account of good character. The prisoner, whose demeanour during the trial had been very calm and collected, now became dreadfully agitated. On Mr. Knapp, the Clerk of Arraigns, putting the usual questions to him, as to any thing he might have to say in bar of judg ment, he exclaimed—" My Lord, lam as innocent as a child born to-day, that Woman has sworn falsities against me; I knew knothing about the toast or the accident a t th e ti me i t happened." Here his utterance failed biro; and he appeared absorbed in the greatest grief. Mr. Justice Bunitou cat regretted that the prisoner should be of this state of mind, now it could be of no 'Service to him ; for himself he must say lie never saw a clearer case of murder before a Court. The Jury had recommended him to mercy ; 'but it was impossible for that to be attended to. He then pro nounced the sentence of the law upon the prisoner, which was, that he be hanged by the neck on Thursday morning (to-mor row), and that his body be afterwards a n a to m i se d. On being taken from the bar he burst into tears and exclaimed, " Mercy, my Lord, have Mercy !". A general sympathy seemed to per vade the minds of a very crowded Court at the fate of the un fortunate man. Two witnesses had their pockets picked in the Court, in York Castle, at the Assizes, at the very'rnoment 'Mr. Justice Hot norD was passing the dreadful sentence of the law on Ann Barber, for the murder of her husband. The Rev. CoLIN FRASER, missionary preacher at Fort Augustus, having lately got a presenta tion to the Church of Kiltarlity, went to preach there on Sunday week, when some ill-advised people, who had the preceding night barricadoed the doors and windows of the church, assailed the Clergyman, and a Gentleman who accompanied him, with sticks and stories. Mr. Fraser having failed in his attempt to get access to the church, preached in the open air, exposed to repeated insult and interruption.—(Scald Paper.). PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (FROM THE DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT, AUG. 25.) The LIBERAI:t r itEss Of. London is quite disobliked at die loyalty which pervades. and animates; at the pre4entjuncture, the entire Irish Nation. Their sneers are pungent, and•tbeir remarks possess that illiberal acerbity, which is peculiarly cha racteristic of the liberal Press. " The Time's," which has elected itself into a post pre-eminent over" all the JOurrials if Europe, is generous enough to assert, that the Irish! receive their Sovereign with enthusiasm only, " bet,ause he does not go to burn and destroy them !"—and " The . 11Iorning Cliro7 ‘ ,niele," though of subaltern pretensions, is embairassed to qnd out what advantage the Irish can flatter theniselves with :Torn the King's Visit. While this Country was despairing and heart-broken—while it was hbandoned by its Nobles, and omen of landed property—while the people were divided and distrac ted, and public mortification and religiouS aissention rendered it a scene of disgusting discontent and violence—the LIBERAL Press was enamoured of it. In such a Condition, we . fbrited _standing subject, ; to which it never failed to resort, tvh4neyer it thought it expedient to charge the existing Oovermilent with the vices and errors of past ages : and, whenever any of the bald and crude theories peculiar to LlBERAttrv r sicihd in need of support, the State of Ireland alsrayS afforded some illastra'• I.tions, which the liberal pek'ersions renclere4 plausible.
