Preparatory to Mr. R. Wallace's motion, which stands on the list for to-morrow evening, there has been laid before the House of Commons " A return showing any alterations which have been made in the Post-office department of Ireland since the sth Jan., 1831, whereby a saving of expenditure has been effected, either by a reduction of the number of offi cers, or in the amount of salaries, distinguishing the particular branches of the department where such savings, if any, have been made." In page 8 of this document, under the head " Inland Office," we per ceive that the discontinuance of " the registration of double (generally money) letters," is set clown as a piece of advantage conferred upon the State. Surely the Duke of Richmond, by whose directions this office in the inland department was sup pressed, could not have read or attended to the evidence given in page 812 of the Nineteenth Re port of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, either before he ordered the suppression of the Registration Office, or before he took credit to himself for issuing that order. The object of the " registration of double letters" a system most wisely introduced into the Post office department in Ireland by Sir Edward Lees, when Secretary to the Postmaster-General in that country, was to prevent embezzlement and fraud upon the public. That the means were suited to the end appears from the fact that in 1823 the Bank of Ireland had to pay 12,0001. in lieu of moneys transmitted through the Post-office, and there either lost or purloined ; and that in 1826, all the Bank was required to pay, through a similar cause, amounted to no more than 5001. In 1823 there was no " registration of double letters," in 1826 there was. Why a machinery which so effectually tended to prevent either accidental loss or fraudulent abstraction of money letters, in the Post-office depart ment, was cast aside by the Duke of Richmond, we certainly never could understand. Neither can we con ceive why his Grace has taken to himself all the credit of economising the " Inland-office," by " the consolidation of the Inland, British Mail, Penny Post, and Alphabet offices, and placing them under the immediate care and management of the present superintending Presi dent," &c., when, upon a reference to the report already cited, we find, in page 508, that Sir Edward Lees, so far back as 1823—many years before the Duke of Richmond had the remotest connection with the Irish Post-office, recommended the putting " the whole of these four branches under one active head." In page 557, the same gentleman again says, " when an opportunity offers I would certainly unite the Inland British Mail, Letter-carriers, and Alphabet offices under one effective control. I think the whole of the Inland-office should be revised ; it is at too great an expense." Thus it is seen that the Duke of Rich mond has not even the merit of inventing that useful scheme of consolidation for which he takes to himself all the credit ; and that his sole merit in the matter consists in following up the judicious recommendation of Sir Edward Lees ; of whom, we must observe, that he appears throughout to have received severity and censure, instead of approbation and thanks, for the numerous improvements he introduced into the Irish Post-office, and for the several other useful alterations he suggested ; but, owing to the perpetual feud that raged between Lords Rosse and O'Neil, and to other causes which do not reflect the very highest credit upon the Noble Earl who, under the old system, enjoyed the patronage of the department, was unable to carry into effect. Turning to page 15 of the " Return," we find a subsidiary return, " showing the names or description of all books, papers, and vouchers, belonging to the Post ' office in Dublin, sold by auction, or otherwise disposd 1 1 of, in the year 1831," &c. In this supplemental do cument occurs the following passage :—" No account was kept of the number of vouchers or books, and none were disposed of which could be of any use?' Is this the fact ? We rather think not. If we arc not much mistaken, the revenue has suffered conside rably, in consequence of the sale of some of these papers, " which could not be of any use"—the Post office department being obliged to compromise for large amounts with defaulting deputy postmasters, the do cuments which could affect their sureties have been disposed of. Should we have been misinformed, we will cheerfully stand corrected. But our apprehension is, that the statement is too true ; and that the econo mical system which has procured to the nation a gain of 421. l Is. 6d., " with the sanction of long cus tom, and the knowledge of the Secretary," has oc casioned a loss of several hundreds of pounds.—Morn ing Chronicle. Of the proceedings which occupied the House of Commons during the last week, none will dispute the importance, whether for good or evil. Let us consider as clearly, calmly, and briefly as may be, how matters stood at the opening of that week, and how at the termination of those debates, which began on Wed nesday, and were closed on Saturday morning. The Melbourne Cabinet has been frequently charged with a stipulated subserviency to the schemes of the Irish revolutionary faction, of which Messrs. Sheil and O'Connell have been for some years the recognized and active organs. In what shape, or through what channels of negotiation, the bargain was prepared and framed is of little moment ; nor do we attach to the somewhat boastful declaration of the Learned Member for Tipperary that such a bargain had been concluded, and formally executed at Lichfield house, any weight at all comparable to that of the evidence to be deduced from common sense, and from the manifest nature and necessities of Lord Mel bourne's unfortunate position. Every man in the kingdom saw from the outset that on the support of the Irish Papist faction depended the existence of this " Whig") Cabinet, and it was equally (faplain.lsey calledithats such a faction would not afford its protection for nothing. The elements of a compact, therefore, were inherent in the obvious relations of the parties ; and through what means or by what machinery the modus operandi should be settled was a thing not difficult to understand, for those who were conversant with the state of Ireland, and with the natural ob jects of Roman Catholic jealousy or desire. It is less, we do think, to be attributed to the present Ministers, as a vice in their principles, than in their external con dition, that they have fallen into a course of political action so utterly ignominious for themselves, and ruin ous to the well-being of the monarchy. Reduced as was the Whig interest by the last election, to a degree of numerical weakness which would have left it at the mercy of the Conservatives, who exceeded the Whigs in the proportion of two to one, or of the Radicals who outnumbered them as three to one, the Melbourne Ministers had but three alternatives, viz.,—first, to coalesce with Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington, which would have involved the loss of at least a moiety of office, and the sacrifice of an entire vengeance. This would have mortified at once the two master passions of hatred and cupidity ; or, second, to forego place and power alto gether by refusing to form an exclusive Whig Admi nistration, which implied an exercise of super-Whig dis interestedness ; or, third, to take possession of place without power, subject to the over-ruling dictatorship , of the O'Connell party—a proposition which, as it en tailed upon the Melbourne Cabinet nothing more mis chievous or humiliating than disgrace, was accepted with eagerness and triumph. Of the policy which the Melbourne Administration was thus self-compelled to adopt, the advancement of Roman Catholic dominion, at the expense of Protestantism in Ireland, was of course to be the leading characteristic. There remained only two symbols of Protestant power in that cow tr y— the Corporations, which had been useless to any bene ficial end, and nothing better in the hands of Protestants than engines for the exercise of an invidious, but im potent partiality—aid the Church, nct merely a badge of Protestant sovereignty, but a bond of UlllOll between Great Britain and Ireland, and in the latter island as well as here, a main bulwark of the spirit of civil liberty. The Corporations, therefore, unproductive while in the hands of Protestants, of any real strength, were doomed to such a reconstruction as should, when governed and guided by the Popish priests, convert them into magazines of offensive warfare against Pro testant interests and against English power. The Church was to be overturned by a movement against her essential rights and her vested property, carried on under coverotfi thean administrati on , i a n t e ta e c h k ve u n p le o i n te h es er eftheti the her deliberately, d 'Ph e e iP N l C l li"'eli amid Tithe Bill has bee n f rame d almost expressly, for the accQmplishinent of this great Tnt' SVIs4T, tincle_ Its autholk Are not satisfied with providing for the commutation orvk, including its immediate transfer of one-third to 'thl landlords, its less imme diate but definite and certain abstraction, to the amount of one-half, from the clergy of the Established Church, together with a multitude of ingenious contrivances fur pinching and harassing that devoted body—they, the authors of the Bill, took care, in execution of the task imposed upon them, to-affix to it an uncongenial and frightful clause, which in the form of an'' abstract principle "—an unwholesome excrescence upon British kgislation—laid the groundwork of a series of fresh assaults upon the property of the . Church, to be re peated as often as opportunity might serve, and to be pushed with whatever fierceness and violence could he brought to bear against the connexion between Church and State, on the occurrence of every crisis favourable to the projects of their enemies. The design of Lord Stanley's motion was to introduce a measure of com prehensive and effectual tithe reform, only unincurn tiered with the pledge of a future destruction of the Protestant establishment, by despoiling the clergy of their subsistence under the name of surplus' or super fluity, and handing it over to the Popish priesthood, to be by them employed as might suit their will and plea sure, either for their own personal emolument, for the general purposes of the Popish hierarchy, or under pretence of supplying education to the people,—an education which, so furnished and directed, were many degrees worse than none. This salutary and states manlike measure of Lord Stanley was met at the threshold by Lord J. Russell, who avowed his repug nance to any bill for reforming the tithe system which should not have incorporated with it a principle by which the incomes of the Protestant clergy must be taken away from them and turned over to Roman Catholic uses. Perhaps, in the course of the depates we are now alluding to, detailed calculations were dwelt upon with needless diligence. Had the difference regarded merely matters of arithmetical proportion, they might have been adjusted without much trouble ; but the real question was one of principle—of a principle whose value in the eyes of Lord J. Russell's most promi nent and clamorous supporters, depended not upon its abstract justice, but upon the certainty and facility with which it was hereafter to be enforced against the Protestant Establishment. The main weight of the discussion being centred here, we may pass by all the speeches but those whose chief object was to develope or disguise the future working of that one principle— namely, the principle of " appropriation." Nothing is so striking throughout the whole case, as the dis cord between the ostensible purpose of the Ministerial Bill and the broad confessions of its Irish advocates, that it was incapable of producing any such result. The Ministers declared in the preamble of their Bill, that the intent of it was to tranquillize Ireland. If there be any meaning in such words, it must be that the passing of this Bill into a law would satisfy all the demands of the Roman Catholics, in respect of Church property and exclusive rights. It were to be wished that his Majesty's Ministers had either been more honest or less ignorant upon a point so necessary to be well understood before they had submitted such a bill to Parliament. Listen to the Roman Catholic commentators upon this Ministerial text. Mr. Shea made a speech which in some particulars was worthy of the reputation of that Learned Gentleman. We do not mean that it was the speech of a statesman, opening enlarged view of sound or liberal policy for the administration of Ireland—nothing of that ; nor was it a speech calculated to win public confidence or esteem for the speaker. Throughout, it was a decla matory epigram, where some gleams of lurid light were flung by a feverish imagination across the vapour of the Learned Gentleman's volubility. Of argument in support of the measure of Ministers Mr. Sheil's ad dress which makes a show in the newspapers, con tained not one solitary fraction. It contained, indeed, some argument against the Bill of his Majesty's Ministers. After a clumsy personality or two against Lord Stanley, Mr. Sheil paraded, as is usual, his " seven millions." Now, let us ask the Learned Gen tleman, why does he refer the British Parliament to this master-roll of Irish numbers ? He cannot be absurd enough to fortify an argument by putting it into the mouth of seven millions of illiterate and pre judiced mob ; and what is more, the Learned Gentle man signifies no such thing. He alludes to the seven millions as dealing with pikes, not principles. He attempts to frighten us with this exhibition of physical force. Will he then make, or instigate the wretched dupes whom he speaks of to make, a practical experi ment in correspondence with such a menace ? We apprehend not. What game, then, is he playing but " fast and loose"—threatening one thing, and intend ing another ? Mr. Sheil boasts that the " will of the people" is to force this scheme of appropriation down the throat of England. 'When will is founded on wisdom, well and good ; but a will created, fabricated, coined, and made current by the arts of excitement hourly practised before our eyes, whatever Mr. Sheil may think of it, has no moral ascendancy over the judgment, nor pressure upon the nerves, of English men. So Mr. Sheil draws a parallel between Russia and Great Britain, alleging that the attempt of Russia to " inflict upon Poland" a religion alien to her own, would in nowise differ from the inflictioc of Protes tantism upon Ireland! He compares the establishment of a Greek clergyman in every Polish village to the establishment (300 years old) of a Protestant clergy man in every Irish village. He asks whether Scotland would endure that an Episcopalian minister should be planted in every parish of that kingdom. Is not this outspoken ? Is there any mystification here ? Does not this enjoin upon the Irish Papists the duty, the patriotic duty, not merely of refusing to pay their tithe, but of expelling Protestant clergymen from Ire land, even as Episcopalians were expelled from Scot land, and as such a Greek priesthood ought to be by the persecuted Poles ? Why, what is this but a regu lar and audacious assault upon the existence of the Church of Ireland—not upon its abuses, but its very being What Conservative denies that the abuses of discipline, the unjust distribution of revenue, the un just possession of pluralities—all and every thing that constitutes " abuse," should be at once abolished ? About such there is no longer the shadow of a ques tion, and the reference to things not defended by Pro testants on either side is a gross want of honesty in Papists. But what a commentary is this upon - the fraud of Ministers in putting forth as a tranquillizer of Ireland the bare and barren assertion of an ab stract principle, authorizing the appropriation to general purposes of a surplus above the sums which may be necessary to provide a liberal support. for clergymen, when here comes Mr. Sheil to allege as lie does most emphatically, though obliquely, that Protestant clergymen, beyond the individuals now living, have, in fact, no claims at all—that all their income is " surplus," applicable to what he terms national, or, in other words, Popish uses, as much as time stipends of a Greek priesthood as in delio: P iHi o n l iwee a ta i l i tir d .: %ai:giogaui upon aol b :lo e tthi justly ,ecr egthen seizable cperi eos tf bf they disaffection,t\h ve Whig-Radical .o u l separate from the principle, c w i tranquillize Daniel O'Connell,tlr nistry that an abstract dis turbers application o f th c o of peace e t in principle,lreand.

Why, was it not truly said by Mr. Whittle Harvey that it is im possible for a Papist to be an advocate for the volun tary principle ? The temporal Church of Rome is an establishment in its very essence a jealous, domineering, monopolizing, tyrannical establishment, persecuti ng every other creed where it dares , assuming tolerati on only where it dares not torment. For any pretender to the tenets of Popery to whisper a word against th e general_ doctrine of establishments is too ridicul ous . This agitator, too, as well became him, launched out into superfluous and uncandid railings against tithe by name, as a noxious tax—superfluous again, we say-- because all parties have agreed upon the expediency of commuting them. But the important fact is this —s-Parliament is importuned; the House of Lords is menaced ; all mankind are appealed to that this Bill may pass, as a means of restoring peace to Ireland N, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1536. while it is proclaimed by the very faction for whom, and under whose dictation, the principle of alienating a " surplus" of Church property to Popish.us has become the cornet-stone of the Melbourne po- licy, that it will not quiet or settle the disturbed state of the island, for that the existence of any Protestant Church is treason to the rights of Roman Catholics, and a rank " injustice to the Irish people." So far from promoting the tranquillity of Ireland, the chief recommendation of this measure to the agitators, in and out of Parliament, is its tendency to accomplish that which it does not profess, and the increased faci lities which it places within their reach for disturbing more fatally than ever the course of the laws, and the peace of the community. The motion of Lord Stan ley, and the whole discussion upon it, without reference to the exact amount of the minority, which is to us of small signification, we feel to be of greater value than any thing that has occurred in Parliament since the Reform Bill passed. It has completely unmasked the wretched condition of the Ministers, and exposed the frightful dangers in which they have involved the em pire. Both one and the other were hitherto a subject of plausible controversy on the part of his Majesty's Government—they now stand conspicuous and con fessed.— Times. On the Committee of Supply, the other night, Mr. Goulburn very properly called the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the havoc made in Kensington-gardens by cutting down whole rows of ornamental timber, which, as the Right Hon. Gentle man expressed it, " had so long served the purpose of an agreeable shade, and to which the public had been accustomed to look with feelings of respectful venera tion." He added an expression of his regret, in which all persons of taste and good feeling must cor dially join ; " that those who had the power of doing such extensive mischief were not subjected to some better control before they applied their axe in so in discriminate and destructive a manner." We directed public attention to this subject some time ago, and de scribed the devastation which the axe of the " destruc tives" has made in these once beautiful gardens, now denuded and disfigured by the tasteless violence which Mr. Goulburn noticed with just indignation, and to which Mr. Spring Rice could give no better answer than a sorry joke. The " jokes of the rich," says Goldsmith," " are always successful ;" and, of course, the joke of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, how ever deficient in wit or point, is sure to make the admirers of official jocularity laugh. England is, perhaps, the only civilized country in the world in which the levity of a Minister relative to such acts of wanton destruction, could provoke a smile. Kensing ton-gardens, until very lately, were not only ornamen tal to the neighbourhood of the metropolis in a high degree, but he would venture to say, as a specimen of landscape gardening, were equal to anything of the sort to be found in this country or any other, where the scene not indebted to nature for any of its attrac tions, was formed by the hand of creative taste. If we mistake not Kent laid out those gardens as they were, with the exception of the changes that time produced, and the alterations consequent upon removing decayed trees and supplying their place by others, for, strange to say, although Mr. Spring Rice does not know the fact, there was a constant succession of trees kept up for ornament and shade, without any alteration of the sylvan character of the scene. But the axe of modern vandalism has not been restrained to the cutting down aged and decayed trees. It has felled the most beau tiul portions of the timber—it has destroyed the wild and picturesque character of the scene, and spread waste and devastation around. In all this the Chan cellor of the Exchequer has the support of Mr. Hume, and if they succeed in reforming our institutions as they have " reformed " Kensington-gardens, barbarous and unsparing indeed is the destruction which they will have substituted for improvement.—Morning Herald. The speech of Sir R. Peel on the Irish tithe ques tion, although from the late hour of the morning at which the Right Hon. Baronet addressed the House, it was impossible to convey to the public a full or ade quate report of that splendid and triumphant oration, has made a sensation out of doors little inferior to that which it produced among those who had the good for tune to catch the persuasive and convincing accents of the orator as they fell from his lips. It was the theme of conversation in every society on Saturday and yes terday ; and it was acknowledged by all, by those whom it delighted and by those whom it reproved and chas tised, to have been an effort of astonishing and match less power. It left none of the fallacies now ad vanced—none of the artifices heretofore practised— by the enemies of the Protestant Church, unex posed. It placed the sacred rights of that Institu tion upon a foundation secure and unassailable--in their natural association with the highest and most enduring interests of the community ; and it overthrew and trampled down with gigantic energy and force the pigmy assailants who seek to subvert the National Church, sparing neither those whose animo sity springs from a bigoted hatred of the divine truths of which that Church is the faithful guardian, nor those more contemptible partisans, the Swiss of the impious warfare, who have enlisted in the cause, from the mercenary inducements of place and pay. All who listened to Sir Robert Peel, and all who have read his masterly and statesmanlike address, are impressed with the same consciousness, that the statements and argu ments it contains are wholly unanswerable—a convic tion which has only gathered strength from whatever attempts have been made (lame and impotent, truly, those attempts have been) to reply to any portion of what fell from that accomplished senator. Sir R. Peel contrasted the liberal remuneration allowed to the menial servants of the House of Commons with the pittance which, under Lord Morpeth'sßill, will be the maximum of income enjoyed by any parochial minister of the altar. This comparison, one of the most apt, seasonable, appropriate, and striking that could have been re sorted to for the elucidation of the truth the Speaker intended to enforce, is denounced as inapplicable and unfair. And why is it inapplicable and unfair . ? Because, forsooth, the incomes of many English Cler gymen are greatly inferior to those of the door-keepers and messengers of the House of Commons, and Sir R. Peel, if he would follow up the spirit of his comparison, ought to propose an extensive augmentation of ecclesi astical revenue. Was there ever before heard from the lips of man, woman, or child such puerile trifling as this ? According to the logic of Mr. Spring Rice, and those who follow in his track of reasoning, the provision for many of the Clergy being now inadequate is a circum stance which justifies and sanctifies an enactment to enforce universal poverty among the clerical body. " As it is impracticable to elevate the incomes of the Ministers of the Church in Ireland and England to the proper amount, Jet us," say these consistent reasoners, " create a surplus out of the funds of the Church, by depressing those clerical incomes which now approximate in any degree towards that amount. As we cannot give a competency to all, the next best thing is to take something away from all whose incomes approach to a competency. The Church requires aid—therefore let us plunder the Church." One of the most judicious and effective portions of Sir R. Peel's speech was that in which he adverted to the prophetic anticipations of Mr. Shiel as to the happy consequences to be produced in Ireland by the measure of Roman Catholic Emancipation. That measure once passed, all was to be peace and harmony in Ire land. The trade of agitation was to die a natural death. Roman Catholic barristers were to be de magogues no more, and to think of nothing but getting fees and living honestly by their professional exertions. Above all, the rights and endowments of the Protestant Church were thenceforth to create in no Roman Catholic mind any feeling of envy, hatred, or malice. These things Mr. Shiel, Mr. O'Connell, and others, whom we now find instigators of the anti tithe war, and promoters in Parliament of a measure of Church robbery, prophesied of others and pro mised for themselves—prophesied and promised deliberately and solemnly, upon their honour as gentlemen, and their veracity as men, before Committees of the House of Commons—upon their oaths as Christians before a Committee of the House of Lords. The same men who have kept ac tt eh t their e t b i r ;p iieewordsico rscLord and their oaths as we now see, these false prophets, 4s to . the conduct of others and their own, n 027 athmaotunpteaocfechwuilrlehenrsoubeberiyn whichlrelandis from .en Morpeth's Bill. Sir Robert Peel very properly irrti- , mated 61M ate his 119, Mficleße it,A c'he , ktesi4ht of prophets of this description, and that, in his judg ment, their prediction was quite enough to show the strong probability that the things predicted would not come to pass. The argumentum ad honiznem was never, perhaps, employed with so much felicity, vigour, and success as in this instance. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to the rescue, with the very old, very stupid, and very dishonest argument, that the continued agitation in Ireland, notwithstand ing the concession of the Catholic claims, and in defiance of the prophecies, and promises, and oaths of the leading claimants, was the consequence of that concession having been so long delayed ; as if the promises, and prophecies, and oaths had been conditional upon the celerity of the concession, or as if they had not been maintained in full vitality and vigour through the whole period of delay, not merely for want of being retracted or qua lified by the givers, but by reiterated and express re ferences to them, and arguments founded upon them without number, by other men in the presence of the givers, and by the givers themselves, tp . to, for a short time (it was very short) after:, e .!iie Emancipation Bill, as it was called, hpa received the Royal assent. A good Papist could giv e a better reason than the mi serable subterfuge of Mr, Spring Rice for all that has occurred. The Right Hon. Gentleman, indeed, had mueli Letter have remained silent ; but perhaps it is a condition of the confederacy that, with weapons or with out, ono Cabinet Minister, at least, must always come to the rescue of any discomfited retainer of Mr. O'Con nell. The Roman Catholic demagogues, Bishops and Priests, swore to their belief that a state of affairs would ensue from the measure which they right well knew would not ensue, which they never intended should ensue, which they could not willingly permit to ensue, without ceasing to be good Roman Catholics. As to the oaths, they were sworn for a good Popish purpose. And, if they were wilful perjuries, what then ? Did not the end justify the means? And had not the perjurers, be sides, full and ample absolution day by day accord ing to the period and the measure of their sin ? Thus we see that the caustic allusion of Sir R. Peel to the prophecies of the Honourable and Learned Member for Tipperary was not an ar gumentum ad hominem merely, but an argu mentum ad rein of the most forcible and con clusive character. " If," says Mr. Spring Rice, " 50,000/. annually, paid from the surplus of Church property were to give peace to Ireland, why quarrel with such an application of it ?" But who says that this will give peace to Ireland ? Who but the very men who said and swore all that Sir R. Peel so judiciously quoted as to the effect of the Emancipation Bill ? They then abjured the thougbt of making any attack upon Church property. Now 50,0001. a year of that property is demanded as the price of peace, the price to be paid beforehand. But will the commodity thus paid for be honestly delivered ? Where is the guarantee ? What is even the probability ? May not 50,000/. more be demanded next year, and again to be paid before hand ? May not another 50,0001. be demanded the year following, with the same condition of previous payment, the trick and the triumph of fraudulent sellers ? May not this process be repeated until every shilling of the revenue of the Irish Church is em braced in the insatiable grasp of Popish tyranny and turbulence ? Is there not a moral certainty that this will be the nature and the end of the process, if the principle of alienating Church property for the pur chase of peace be once recognized and established ? The Legislature would be dealing with men, as the former prophecies of Mr. Sheil and others sufficiently prove, in whose opinions there is no faith, in whose promises there is no faith, in whose oaths there is no faith ; and what the natural consequences would be we need not ask. Peace is not to be bought by a traffic so dishonest and so ignominious. Robbery of the Church for the gratification and excitement of Roman Catholic envy, hatred, and vengeance, is not the road to peace. That road can only be found in a vigilant and a vigorous enforcement of the law ; in teaching the refractory subjects of the State, of whatever class, of whatever faith, that the law, if they persist in their conflict with it, must eventually prove too strong for them ; and in combining with the due execution of the law every measure that seems calculated to increase the efficiency and the influence of the Protestant Church, and of the religion of charity and peace.— ]Worn. Post. Lord John Russell has issued a circular to the Li beral Members of the House of Commons, requesting their attendance at a meeting to be held to-morrow at the Foreign-office, in Downing -street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best course to be pur sued in respect to the Bill which the Lords have re turned in lieu of that sent up.by the Commons for the reform of the Municipal Corporations of Ireland. Though there can be but one opinion entertained as to the reception which the Commons should give to this Bill, so insolently and fraudulently attempted to be foisted upon them, yet we consider the intended meet ing to be most desirable, in order to give due solemnity and effect to the proceedings which it is incumbent on the Ministers and the Members really representing po pular feelings in the House of Commons, to adopt in the momentous crisis which the audacious and despotic attempt of the Lords has accelerated, if not altogether provoked. Now is the time to make a firm and decisive stand against their usurpation—now must be determined, once and for ever, whether the people of Great Britain are to be governed by laws emanating from their representatives, or by the man dates issued from an hereditary Chamber, cut off by habit, sentiment, and circumstance, from all sympathy with the bulk of the people, whom they are taught and accustomed to regard only as instruments subsidiary to the gratification of aristocratic wants, aristocratic luxury, profligacy, and tyranny. The idea of a com promise can be no longer entertained. If there were but one or a casual difference between the two branches of the Senate, a compromise or mutual concession might be preferable to extreme measures ; but it is not on one isolated point that the Lords have opposed the wishes of the people, but on all measures calculated to extend the liberties or advance the prosperity of the people. Look at the proceedings of last session. The Lords gave the ut mos t poss ibl e oppos i t i on to the En glish Municipal Reform Bill—the English Tithe Coin mutation Bill—the Bills for the relief of Jews and Dis senters, for the abolition of imprisonment for debt, &e,-- and only when further opposition was impossible, without coining to an open rupture, was a mutilated and im perfect measure of municipal reform granted to the people of England. On that occasion we so lemnly recorded our protest against the conces sions of the Commons, and the result has proved whether it was politic or impolitic to yield, and be come parties to the wrong which the Lords perpe trated against the principle of representative govern ment and the general rights of the people. What has been tile consequence of concession to the maimed measure of English Municipal Reform in the last Session? The attempt to abolish Irish Corporations in this. In fact, for their 014'11 sake as well as for the safety of the State and the efficient dispatch of public business, the Lords must be taught a lesson—they must be taught, by one means or other, that the people will not succumb to the dictation of any party in the State, and least of all to the tyranny of un elected and irresponsible Senators, who, in a practical point of view, can scarcely be considered as other than supernumeraries. It is not one measure that is delayed by the refractory opposition of the Lords, but all public business is more or less interrupted, and all reforms frustrated ; and such will continue to be the case until a change be effected in the constituent ele ments of that assembly. Let us then look boldly un the nature of the position in which we are played, and not close our eyes to the dangers which threaten us. A reform of the House of Lords is necessary and in evitable ; it may he difficult of accomplishment, but it will he infinitely more difficult to carry on the work of regeneration through our political system without such a preliminary. Thanks to Reform, England is at pre sent in a condition of unprecedented prosperity, but still better days are before her, if she be true `to the prin ciple of popular liberty. 13ut What Is the condition of Ireland ? Wrong:o,l, destitute, degraded, appealing for ; listice and assuming an attitude which shows her J determined upon the assertion of her rights. Shall we refuse her demands, and leave her to work out her sal vation by her own means, instead of securing her in the bosom of the constitution, and forming with her a solid union against mutual oppression? Let the Mem hers wh o meat to-mortow bear in mind that any con cession in the present case will only accelerate the catastrophe with which the state is threatened by lordly injustice. There is no middle course—the emergency is one in which half measures are inadmissible. Those who are not for us are against us. The vote must ha either for the Lords or for the people, and any WO moile r who stands neuter or takes part with the op ic)oresistor)rsr.lzuo,m,ig fhis . cl l ass, is a traitor to himself and 10 u, Advertiser.
