The motion of the Right Hon. the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER for reducing the Stamp duty on Newspapers, was carried in the House of Commons last night by a majority of thirty-three The smallness .of this majority is sufficient to prove that we laboured under no erroneous impression with respect to the private sentiments of a large number of those Members who were returned to Parliament, pledged to support every proposition having for its object the•abolition of those taxes which shackle and enslave the Press. By summing up the gross num bers on the division, it will be found that upwards of one hundred Members were either not in their places during the debate, or left the House without voting. Of those who voted in the minority, fifty at least are renegades from those principles by the parade of which they were raised to the dignity of legislators. Neither the absentees nor the renegades shall remain unknown to their constituents or the country. We have pledged ourselves to look after them, and that pledge we shall faithfully redeem. With respect to the debate itself, there is but little to notice in it, with the exception of the luminous ap peal made to t;:e understanding of the House by the Right Hon. the CI-LkNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. his speech embodies the question—financially, r politically, and morally. We thn;!c. , however, he in put e - himself to a great deal of u nnecessar y u futing the arguments —e-if arguments they ii;.".7 be called—advanced by Sir CHARLES KNIGHT LEY and Mr. CHARLES BARCLAY, the mover and se conder of the Soap Duty Amendment. The real ob ject of these Hon. Gentlemen, and of those who sup ported them, was not to effect a reluctioe.of the - Duty on Soap, but to prevent a reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty. They had not the hardihood to come forward, and manfully oppose the motion on principle ; they dreaded the consequences ; and, therefore, they had recourse to the tortuous shuffling expedient of humbugging the fanners, while they themselves knew that their amendments, if carried, would only benefit the commercial and trading classes. In moving his promised amendment, the Hon. Member for North hamptonshire was candid enough to tell the House, that if he did not vote for cheap Soap instead of cheap Newspapers, he could not ask the famers for their votes at the General Election, as they would point out their daughters and wives who could not procure a clean garment. At this candid admission the House was convulsed with laughter—and well it might. Never was there offered a stronger illustration of the want of political knowledge among the agriculturists. If the Hon. Baronet's constituents be so addle-headed as to suppose that the reduction of a farthing in the price of a pound of soft Soap would cleanse the persons of their wives and daughters, all we shall say is, that they are in deplorable want of cheap Newspapers. But the delusion was so gross, that even the Hon. Seconder of the amendment refuel to countenance it. The supposition that such a reduction on the Soap Duty would benefit the landed interest was, even in his opinion, so absurd, that he believed no rational being could be led astray by it. The agriculturists are certainly most shamefully dealt w i t h by those who set themselves up as the guar dians of their interests. Their name is dragged for ward, and their interests paraded, on all questions where a faction is opposed to the will of the country. ► Under the conven ient plea of defending th em , th e progress of the most useful measures of Reform is terrupted ; and yet —as was the case last night—when the question how far their interests are endangered, eomes to be pressed so closely as to elicit an answer, their patrons cannot discover an y connection between their affairs and the business before Parliament. The THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1e36. agriculturists-are made the stalking-horse of the Tories. Were the landlords as ready to sympathise with the farmers under the pressure of high rents, as they are under the annoyance of farthing taxes, the agricultu rists would be indeed a moss happy race of mortals. _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER dwelt with laudable earnestness on the fact that Government had . entirely failed in putting down the Unstanyed Press, and that unless the law was so modified as to crush that organ of sedition, the Stamped Press would soon exercise but a secondary influence over public opinion. " To allow," said the Right Hon. Gzntleman, " the Stamp Duty on Newspapers to continue as it now existed, would only be laying down a principle which wauld lead to a general violation of all law—a disre gard of all ' obligation—and a culpable forget fulness on the part- of the Legislature to pro tect those whose rights were in danger, and who had ever shown themselves obedient to the authority of the State."' This is the view of th e question which we have always taken. Though it is bad policy in an Absolute Monarchy ever to be tray inefficiency in the execution of any law which has passed, the very contrary is the case with respect to all Representative Governments. Equally excellent and to the purpose, are the following observations with respect to the moral necessity of a free Press in Eng land : " Setting the financial view of the question on one side, Ce changes which had taken place in this country of late years, rendered it more ban ever desirable that every facility shoe ld be given to the cheap and extensive diffusion of accurate and sound political information among st the people. It was es sential to the security of that H ouse itself—a security which was based alone upon the affections of the people—it wes es sential to the security of the Government which depended on the confidence reposed in it by the governed—it was essential to the security of the Monarchy itself, for no Monarch could be secure who did not reign in the hearts of his subjects.— ( Hear, hear.) They had given to the 101. householders poli tical suffrages ; they had given municipal institutions and po litical rights to the inhabitant householders of the various towns of the kingdom, and how could they expect the people to exercise their rights with discretion unless the means of ob- Wining sound political information and an accurate knowledge of passing events were placed within their power ? " Such language as this, coming as it does from the mouth of a Minister of the Crown, must sound strangely in the ears of the people of England. They will now, at least, perceive that the Whigs in giving them a Reform Bill, did not intend that it should remain a dead letter. They will see that Go vernment only delays the effecting of many radical changes in the corrupt part of our institutions, till the great bulk of the people are sufficiently instructed to be able to distinguish between what is sound and what is radically defective. In answer to the observa tion of Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY, that Newspapers could be easily procured at coffee-houses and beer shops by all who wanted to read them, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER well observed He would rather see a Newspaper obtaining admission to the cottage than to the public-house, and as he thought any thing that could attract the poorer classes to stay at home would be more conducive to the cause of morality than if they were obliged to go abroad to obtain the information which they were desirous of possessing, he should feel it his duty to advo cate the reduction of the stamp on Newspapers, because be thought it would have the effect of bringing knowledge more to the cottage." We have here the true parental feeling of an honest Government—a feeling unknown the country, so long as the Tories retained possession of the Treasury Benches. To debauch the morals of the people—to brutalize their feelings—to estrange them from their homes—and to associate their ideas of politics with beer and blue-ruin—were necessary preliminaries to the wholesale system of plunder and peculation carried on by their rulers. Habit, in some men, begets a sort of second nature, and hence the Tories talk of sending the working-man to the beer-shop to read his newspaper, with as much unconcern as Sir ANDREW AGNEW would send him dinnerless to his devotions on Sunday evening. They can see nothing at all wrong in the father of a family, who has a taste for political knowledge, leaving his home ivery evening for the tap-room of a beer-shop—no thing at all demoralizing in sending a hnndrod compa ratively innocent persons every month to the tread mill at Brixton, and thus for ever depriving them of their former good character. The morality of any measure—unless it' be compulsory psalm-singing---is of no account with such sages as GOULBURN, BA R CL AY, and the farmer's wife-washing Member fur Northamptonshire. Seldom or never does a night now pass in the House of Commons, without a " skrimmage"—as O'CON NELL would call it. It would really seem that Hon. Members waxed pugnacious in exact proportion to their increased facilities of escape from the conse quences of a quarrel, for the SPEAKER settles all these matters now-a-days, Parliamentary duels—and we are not sorry for it—being nearly, if not quite, out of fashion. Last night Mr. KEARSLEY was the Great Belligerent, and afforded in his speech, voice, and gesticulation (which passing the boundaries of the grotesque, verged upon the incredible), a striking proof of the strange tricks a certain Deity is apt to play those who. are too enthusiastic in their worship of him. The Hon. Member chose to take offence at some remarks let fall by Mr. ROEBUCK Oil the sub ject of the Newspaper Stamps, and in the ferocity of his wrath pronounced them to be " disgusting." For this lapsus he was called to order by Mr. PAUL M'EniVEN, which of course turned his anger on that Gentle:Tit:D, whom he instantly pounced upon as follows :—" PAUL, PAUL, why persecutest thou me ?"—an allusion more remarkable for its pathos than its piety, and which produced such an effect on St. ANDREW AGNEW, that he was within an ace of swooning As, however, the irreve rend speaker was a rich man, instead of a poor one, the ghostly Baronet soon recovered the shock which his pious auriculars had sustained. But not so the House, as appears from the subjoined extract, which we quote from a Morning Contemporary :—" The scene which followed Mr. KEARSLEY'S exclamation defies description. Hon. Members were literally con vulsed with laughter, and continued in that state for several minutes. Mr. KEARSLEY at first remained standing in his place, looking calmly on the scene of uproar. After the lapse of a few moments, he quitted his post, and descending from among the back benches to the middle of the floor, turned towards the Chair man, and bowed three several times,mt finding retre his egress ating a step at each bow, and accompanying it with a wayeaofghitselria and towards to his seat. i The laughter the bar, obstructed, l ie te retired returned uproar continued, but were mingled with loud and frequent cries of Order,' and Chair.' In the midst of this confusion Mr. KEARSLEY again quitted. his seat, and again descending to the floor,' went through the same evolutions as before, amid redoubled laughter and appeals to the Chair." Was ever buffoonery (qual to this ? Talk of Punch ! Punch's antics are dull compared with it. We wish Mr. OSBALDISTON would engage the Hon. Member as one of his "stars." He would make the fortune of Sadlers Wells—to say nothing of the Olyinpic,where even the illustrious "Lubin Log" would find his popularity sink before the K EA RS LEY " how," and the K EARSLE Y " wave of the hand." Why, indeed, should we pay four shillings to go and see LtsToN at the Olympic, when for half-a-crown we can go and see KEARSLEY at St. Stephen's? We should not omit to mention that the Honourable Mem ber is a Conservative—that is to say, one who has graduated in the braying and - cock-crowing school— and such being the case, we think he cannot do better than play for the benefit of the Conservatives at their next Covent-garden festival. Should he incline to our hint, we will promise him a full house, and many a lusty encore. And here we may observe, that it was only yesterday the . Conservative Morning Post was bewailing the vulgarities of the Liberals in the House of Commons ; and behold, to-day, forth steps the Conservative KEAR-LEY-by way of justifying our Contemporary's Jeremiad ! It is a thousand pities the Ladies were not in the gallery last night ; for then, peradventure, the Conservative Yfetnber for Wigan would—to adopt the happy phraseology of Dr. Bow- RlNG—have " bridled his manly passions ;" brought the wave of his hand within the limits of the deeorous ; and bowed more like a man of sense, and less like a Chinese mandarin on a mantel-piece ! The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have been received. In the ZJoniteur of that day we find the following : " Letters from Vittoria of the 11th State that General Men dez Vigo has been named Minister of War, and that he had left that city on the 10th for Madrid. Cordova intended wait ing for him in the capital, and would most probably start about the loth. A brigade has been dispatched to Lower Arragon. No engagement there has taken place. General Villareal is to command the Carlist army during the absence of Eguia, who is going to take the waters. Letters from Madrid of the 10th state that General Lopez de Banos has been named Captain . .. General of Granada." We have letters from Bayonne of the 15th, but they bring no news of importance. EGUIA, with seventeen batallions, was preparing to make an attack on St. Sebastian. PARIS, JUNE ]9. —The Ministers of Greece and Bavaria have had another conference this morning with the President of the Council. It is affirmed that the answers of the Court of Munich to: the last observations of our Cabinet have ren dered the visit of their Royal Highnesses impossible. King Otho, on his part, bas not consented to this interview with the French Princes till the question which dividekthe two Cabi nets shall be settled. In-this question M. Coletti, wholly devoted to the interests of his country, and thoroughly convinced that the influence of France alone can save Greece from the scourge of war, warmly urges the execution of the Convention, and that no money shall be advanced before the rights of the citizen shall have been secured by constitutional guarantees, and till the foreigners who left the country are recalled. M. Thiers loves Greece, its arts, and its ruins, but M. Thiers would not have it love constitutions, liberty, and independence. He often says, " If I had been in office when Greece was ,made royal, I would have opposed it, but now it must be what it can be without the Bavarians, and with real nationality. I do not conceive it otherwise." Yet their libeitl explanations have not satisfied the Bavarian Minister, and the conference broke up. M. Thiers is to wait on the King ; the Ministers of Bavaria and Greece are to write to Munich and London. The Marquis de Latour Maccbourgh, Ambassador of France to the Holy See, has left Rome to meet the French Princes at Milan. —Massager, June 19. Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion for a Reform of the House of Lords, has been put off to Thursday the 30th inst. We have received a pamphlet, under the title of a " View of the State of Pauperism in Ireland, its Evils, and its Remedies," which, in an appendiX to a second edition, places in a strong, and doubtless to most of our readers, a new, light, the outrageous proceeding that is now going forward in the amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill. It shows, most convincingly, that the plan there proposed is not only a positive vio lation of the common principles of justice ; but that it miltates most strongly against the dictates of prudence, and even of common sense. We have room but for the following extract : " The plan, that has been brought forward as a substitute for that of the Government, of extinguishing the rights of the present Corporate bodies, of taking out of their own hands the property they possess, and of placing the manage ment of it in those of a Commission, chosen by the exe cutive power of the kingdom, is so revolting to all those feelings which do honour to human nature, so repugnant to the deeply implanted in us principles of justice, so subversive of the interests of the whole Irish community, Protestants as well as Catholics, that it seems almost impossible that it can ever be assented to by the country at large. " The right which these bodies have over their own funds is based on the same principles aq those on which every man holds his own property; and also the full, free, and uncontrolled management of it; if such be not injurious and dangerous to the good of the whole. These rights cannot be extinguished nor the power over them taken away, unless for some specific, act -of delinquency, or incompetency. If offences against the law are committed ; if the reason be comes so disturbed, as to render it useless to the proprietor and dasigerous to others, private rights arc then sacrificed to or to the vr tiic individual 141.1.,..11 . . But here there is not one sweeping power under which all cases of disability are indiscriminately included, but it is ex pressly provided for in what, and in what only, the individu I is placed out of the pale of the Constitution, and under the ban of fOrfeiture. The law here very properly steps in as the shield of the public, and also the protector of imbecility, or the punisher of crime. In cases of bankruptcy a corn , mission may be taken out ; where the mind by derang ement has become unfitted for the ordinary transactions of life, a statute of lunacy may be issued ; where offences against the peace and happiness of society have been committed, a sen tence of outlawry may be passed. Can it be expected, that the Irish, with that "magnificent and fiery spirit" for which that people are almost proverbially famous even to rashness, will patiently submit to be treated like a bankrupt, like a lu natic, like a felon; that they should be classed with the meanest, the most miserable, the very outcasts of mankind ; that what the English law allows to the very lowest of her subjects should be denied to them ; that their rights over their property should he abstracted from them by arbitrary edicts without any overwhelming necessity? Let those who advocate such things look into a book that contains more in formation on civil jurisprudence than any which Grotius or Puffendorf ever wrote ; one which, although it relates to the " lux non scripta," speaks home truths to all classes, of all ages, and all parties ; one which is more searching in its properties, more just in its principles, more comprehensive in its matter, than any which ever came from mortal pen ; let him take a leaf out of the book of human nature ; and having studied that, let him then ask himself, what would be his own feelings if he was so treated ; what would be his indignation if such an indignity was put upon him ; what would be his note of exclamation, if the broad stamp of fatuity or infamy was indelibly impressed upon him, without any adequate cause, or without any fault of his own ?"

On the occasion of the opening of Moorgate-street, by the Lord Mayor, on Monday last, the Enterprise entered imme diately after the train of Aldermen, when one of the City Officers mounted the roof waving a large flag. The steamer was full of passengers, and was loudly cheered by the populace. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MAY 20.—Wind N.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY• In the LORDS' yesterday further evidence was heard in support of the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, Several Bills were forwarded a stage, and the Manchester and Leeds Railway Bill was passed. The agreement of the Commons was communicated to insert in Railway Bills a clause reserving. to Parliament the right of revision. It was agreed that the discussion on the Irish Municipal Re form Bill should be postponed until Monday. The Duke of Richmond gave notice that when the Bill founded on the report of the Commissioners of Enquiry into the Post- Office should be brought forward, he should move that it be referred to a Select Committee, as he was not at all satisfied with the evidence adduced. I❑ the COMMONS', a great many petitions on various sub jects were presented : they are noticed in our Parliamentary Report. In answer to questions by Mr. G. Price, Lord Palmerston said, that although no communication on the subject of an exchange of prisoners with Don Carlos had taken place with any person authorised by the Government, that British prisoners would of course be entitled to the bonefit of the stipulations of Lord Elliot's treaty. In reference to the bringing in a Bill by the Government this session for the abolition of Church Hates, Lord John Rus sell spoke doubtingly and conditionally. The House went into Committee on the Stamp Duties, where the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved a resolution to the effect that the duty on every Newspaper should henceforth be one penny. After considerable discussion, which we have noticed in a separate article, this resolution was carried by a majority of 33, to the discomfiture of Sir C. Knightley and the sup porters of his hard and soft-soap substitution device. The Public Carriages (Metropolis) Bill, and the Chapels of Ease (Ireland) Bill, severally went through Committee. Lord J. Russell stated, that on Friday next he intends to pro ceed with the English Tithe Bill ; and on Friday se'nnight with the Irish Tithe Bill. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. DOOLEY. Mr. STEER stated the case. It was an indictment for an assault. The prosecutor was a young man in the employment of Mr. Bullin, of Wandsworth, and was returning from Lon don on the night of the 1 8th of January, in a cart, with his master and some others, when a dispute occurred between the toll-keeper at Battersea-bridge and some person in the cart. The toll-keeper sprung his rattle, and five or six policemen came up, and a scuffle ensued between Bullin and some of the policemen. Bullin was knocked down ; and the presecutor, seeing the band of one of the policemen in Bullin's pocket, cried out, " Keep your hand from his pocket, he has money there," upon which the defendant Dooley, another policeman, who also had hold of Bailin, struck the prosecutor two blows with his staff, by which one of his teeth was broken, and he sustained other injuries. It was for this assault that the pre sent indictment was preferred. The prosecutor proved the committal of the assault. On his cross-examination he said he had been twice in gaol for theft, and once on suspicion of thieving, but the last time he was honourably acquitted.—( Laughter.) He had been only twice at Brixton, and but once on the mill. A witness named Gordon corroborated the prosecutor's tes tim9ny as to the assault. Mr. JONES addressed the Jury for the defendant, but de dined to call any witnesses. The 'Jury found the defendant Guilty. Lord DENMAN would not now pass sentence, as it was likely he would return after the London Sittings had termi nated, and in the mean time he would ;suggest that some mo derate compensation should be made to the prosecutor.

ALEXANDER, " Kensington Palace, 9 o'clock, Monday, June DO." The Prince of Orange, accompanied by his sons, was present under the gallery of the House of Commons last night, during the debate on the reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty. KING'S THEATRE.—The old but neglected favou rite, Don Giovanni, was performed last night, for the first, time this season, for the benefit of Madame Puzzi, who sus tained the part of Zerlina. The other characters were distri buted as follows :—Donna Anna, Grisi; Elvira, Mrs. Seguin ; Don Giovanni, Taniburini ; Leporello, Lablache ; Mazetto, De Atigeli ; Don Octavio, Rubini. The opera, as a whole, was not well performed, and some of the best movements were omitted, but others, to make amends, were brought out with great richness, and all the effect intended by tl:e composer. Grisi was admirable ; the character has seldom had more com plete justie_t done it than by her performance of it last night. Mrs. Seguin and Rubini, who sustained the other parts in it, well deserved their share of the honour. Rubini was also very successful in Il mio tesoro, which was encored. Tam burini is well ktiown in the character of Don Giovanni, which hi went through with his usual spirit. Lablache as Lepo rello is a study —a new rendering of the vis cornice. lie might be called a singing Liston ; his very look, and the mere tone of his voice, produced laughter. After tie opera Ole Bull played one of his solos, and Signor Puzzi a solo on the horn ; and the new ballet of L'amour et la Folk closed the evening. Colonel Broinley's fine Estate at Abberley, near Worcester, is to be sold, by Mr. George Robins, on the 23d in ,tant. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The postponed " Wa terloo Fete" was celebrated last night, when the attractions held out were more than realised " by reality" than we had anticipated. The Gardens were most brilliantly illuminated, ladeed more so than we remember to have seen them oa any previous occasion. The grand novelty of the night was the opening of the " Italian Walk," which, as described in the bills, " surpassed every promenade of every public place of amusement in Europe, and may be said to be a second Vaux hall." One end of the walk terminates with a beautiful painted view of the Bay of Naples, and the Mechanical and Musical Temple, which, it will be recollected, was exhibited some years since. It is impossible to convey an adequate concep tion of the magic effect of this walk, which is 800 feet in length. An inspection only will enable the public to form an opinion of its beauties. The fireworks were very abundant, and redolent with " effects." The company was at once fashionable, and extremely numerous. Madame Sebastiani, mother of the French Ambas sador at our Court, died at Ajaceio, in Corsica, on the sth inst., at the residence of her daughter, Maianie Sebastiani Capellini. It is said that Prince Maximilian, of Bavaria, who has . just received leave from the King, his brother-in-law, to visit Paris, is destined to receive the hand of the remaining Princess of Orleans. The leaders of the Tories are indefatigable in their endeavours to establish clubs in different parts of the country, but with no success whatever, and every attempt of theirs to make a display of strength is a failure. They can procure persons to muster at their dinners, it is true, so long as their agents pay for their fare ; but all th e i r e ff or t s t o a ll ure recru its from the ranks of the Liberals is " labour in vain." Toryism is at a low ebb indeed, for certain peers have t a ken effectual means to precipitate its downfall, The enntrqwerby between the Members of the United University Club, on the question whether a araolti"g room should be attached to their grand Club-110"e, now building near St. James's Palnee, Pall-mall, was decided on Thursday, after having undergone a previous discussion some days ago. The elders of the institution expressed themselves decidedly against the custom of smoking, while the junior advocates for cigars and fuming defended the practice with great zeal and animation ; and on a division the anti-smokers were left in a minority POTATOES.—We have been shown a dish of very fine new potatoes, grown in the open air, at Houghton, by Mr. Moor. In size they are nearly to full-grown potatoes of the ordinary kind. They were raised from potatoes brought from India. We understand they arc of very fine quality-- i q-4, act mealy.—Carlisle Paver. IRELAND. The tithe war is carried on briskly in the Court of Ex chequ2r, by two Protestant Parsons. The messengers of peace and the teach e r s of Christianity at present occupy a position Lut little favourable to the spread of religion, as professed by them. Amon; the writs of rebellion lately issued by them may be mentioned those against the Hon. Member for Tipperary and the Earl O'Neill. THE PRIEST'S PETITION.—The Tory Journals have not yet done with the petition of the Rev. Mr. Mulholland, presented last week to the House of Lords by that pious and exemplary Christian, Lord Lyndhurst. They dilatn with much comical gravity on the " thraldom, slavery, &c." of the Catholic clergy in relation to their bishops, who are denounced as despots, for exercising control not a tenth part as arbitrary as that which the Protestant prelates exer cise. The state of the humblest Catholic priest in the Irish Church, as soon as he is ordained by his bishop, or with his concurrence, is absolute independence compared with that of a Protestant clergyman, even after he is appointed to a curacy. His bishop is obliged to provide for him as long as he cannot be charged with any canonical crime or misconduct. But how stands the Protestant clergyman ? At the mere whim of his Bishop, without the slightest im pu'ation of guilt of any kind, he may not only be deprived of his curacy, if he happen to have one, but he may be totally and absolutely deprived of all right to preach or perform any other duty in the diocese. No clergyman . .!an preach or perform duty in the Protestant Church without a license from the Bishop, which he may withdraw at his mere pleasure. If the state of the junior Catholic clergy be " thraldom," as the wiseacres of the Press will' have it, that of the humbler Protestant clergy is the loWest grade of slavery.—Freeman. THE CHURCH OF IRELAND.—Bishops have priested their sons, and married their daughters to priests, so that, in fact, the tribe of Levi has multiplied and increased exce;:d ingly in the land. In the diocese of Derry it was Kne,a- et prceterea. We need not speak of the episcopal faroily of the Beresfords ; they are found in all places, Er ls t, w es t, North, and South, from the classical and euphonious parish of Drung, in the county of Cavan—where our friend Mark flourishes, who would drive the bloody Papist rebels from amongst us—to the more mellifluous meadows of Inniscarra, in the'sweet county of Cork, where Cousin William charged his patent pistols with his own holy hands, and caused, cer tainly, the removal of some Papists from his parish by one of his winged messengers. In the dioceses of Dromore and Kildare some episcopal management of a not very cre ditable character has been recently witnessed. In the former diocese all better claims were put aside to make room for the influences of connexion. In Kilmor% how ever, the curate was victor.—Dublin Evening Post. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—So perfectly quiet is the country, so free from disturbance in distrlcts formerly re markable for insubordination, that two of the most indefa tigable gleaners of " horrible murders," " desperate assaults," " frightful intimidation," &c., are unable, between them, after the lapse of a week, to furnish the Dublin Orange journalists with a single paragraph. What provoking tran quillity—what a vile Ministry —what an intolerant Lord.. Lieutenant !—Dublin Evening Post. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.
