The Duke of WELLINGTON has announced the second reading of the Maynooth Bill for Monday next, the 2d of June, and intimated, in his usual decisive and business-like manner, that he will keep his word. He is right. The country is sick of this miserable Maynooth affair. It involves no new religious principles; the money required to carry it into effect is the most contemptible item in the financial estimates; it gives no additional encouragement to Popery; it establishes an act of justice, but rather in form than in reality; and it has been opposed so long, and in such tedious, un meaning speeches in the House of Commons, that if the Lords were to follow the example they would make the legislative body absolutely ridiculous. It is said enormous masses of petitions are already prepared for presentation. We have no doubt of the fact. We believe they have been prepared for many weeks, or are only transcripts of petitions thrown below the table of the House of Commons. BREADALBANE has so many committed to his charge that he cannot bring them up in less than a week. WINCHILSEA has an equal load ; KENYON and RODEN are also heavily burdened ; and WELLINGTON and STANLEY must, therefore, be bold men to face the indignation and re proaches of such illustrious ornaments of the House of Peers as these four Anti-Maynooth leaders. WIN CHILSEA has already fought the Duke in defence of Protestantism, and why should he not do so again ? His worthy colleagues may also single out their men and fight WHARNCLIEFE and STANLEY and ABERDEEN. They cannot do less. Catholic Emancipation was nothing to Maynooth ; and if the champions of intolerance have a drop of true blood in their veins, they will spend it in defence of their cause. If they possess common sense, they know there is no other chance for them. The House of Commons has sent up the Bill backed by the greatest majority, taking numbers, intelligence, independence, and sound argu ment into account, that ever supported any measure brought before the Legislature. The opposition to it has been of the most puerile, bigoted, and un-Chris tian character. The speakers have not advanced l i one argument which, if carried to its legitimate extent, would not divide the kingdom into separate merciless factions; dissever the colonies from the mother country, and make the sister island more hostile to England than even France and America in the midst of a bloody war. Are the Peers, then, to reject such a weight of authority? Are they to risk the safety of the empire to gratify such hopeless bigots as RODEN and KENYON, and reject the unanimous voice of all men in the Commons' House of Parliament possessing ability, sound judgment, and Christian charity, for this paltry grant to Maynooth. The case is utterly hopeless. But still the farce is to be performed. Endless petitions are to be presented, long speeches made, and vile accusa tions reiterated against fellow Christians, all in the holy name of religion. We regret to find certain leaders of the Dissenters joining in this cry of intolerance—men who have suffered so much from the very spirit which animates WINCHILSEA, and RODEN, and KENYON— men who would be trampled upon in their turn if their chosen advocates should prevail, and who yet cringe to the hand that would bind stronger their fetters. What hope have they from the House of Lords ? Was there ever such an absurdity heard of as Dissenters trusting to support from the Puseyite Bishops of LONDON and EXETER ? Yet such is the fact. They turn with contempt from the RUSSELLS, the Howicxs, and the MACAULAYS, leaders of a party to whom they owe so much, and trust to 'Nous and LAW, and the bench of Bishops. In the whole history of the country there is no record of such deliberate folly— such a manifest act of political and religious suicide. They have inflicted a blow on the cause of dissent, from which it will not recover for ages, and furnished proofs of weakness hailed with the most intense delight by their present faithful allies. "We have tried these Church destroyers," say the high Tories, " in a reformed House of Commons, representing every large town, where Dis senters abound ; they could muster only 34 members in a House consisting of 505 Members, or about 1 to 15, and with our aid the united party sustained the most re. markable defeat ever known, not even excepting the palmy days of the old rotten-borough system. We know their strength, and we shall profit by experience, when they apply for the abolition of Church rates, rebel against Church extension, and raise a second time their voices against our plan of national education. PEEL has deserted us, but he has divided the forces of our enemies, and division is the certain forerunner of de feat." These are truths, unwelcome truths we admit, but the Duke knows, if the Dissenters do not, that " there is no mistake, and there can be no mistake." JOHN RUSSELL insisted that it is, if it can accomplish I mutations like these. Were some of the diversities pro. I, duced by the divisions on, and after, the third reading ! of the Maynooth Grant Bill less extravagant? Assuredly not. Now the moral we would have Hon. Members to collect from these is simply this—having made a be ginning and broken the ice, as it were, in their accidental encounters with former political opponents, on certain common grounds of political cerement, influenced in the main, perhaps, rather by a sense of equity, than ou calculations of statesmanship, let them proceed to discover and to occupy the nume rous other grounds on which they may meet the just advocates of the more matured opinions on great economic and social questions. It would be, doubtless, romantic to expect at any early period the advent of this sort of political perfectability ; but we may gravely hope that a few such electrifying shocks as the divisions on the Maynooth question may bring the more' intelligent representatives of the people— Whigs, Conservatives, and Radicals—to discover that there are neither so many nor so insurmountable organic discrepancies of political theories between them, as should necessarily prevent their coming to a better understanding on most of them. And since we give them credit for being equally animated by a sincere de sire to advance and consolidate the welfare of this great empire, let us hope that, in proportion as the im pression is more emphatically produced on them by occasional accidents of this kind, that it is very possible for them to travel in the same path for the same great and common end, they will acquire the determination to betake themselves to those paths without delay or mis trust. For if the counsels of all the great parties—the popular, the lowest, and the middle classes— the repre sentatives of the trading, manufacturing, and landed in terests of the empire be really excited, what human power can withstand her physical force, her naval great ness, or her political supremacy ? When we very lately animadverted on the strange anomalies and deficiencies of our criminal law, and in stanced the absurd inequality with which punishment was apportioned to offences coming under the cognisance of its jurisdiction (an inequality by reason of which fhei severest penalties are sometimes meted out for the most venial transgressions of a statute, having regard to cer tain acts in themselves indifferent—and the lightest are inflicted for crimes the most revolting to humanity, be cause of some, technical informalities in the indictment, or some error in the pleadings), we little imagined that we should so soon encounter an evidence of the physical existence of one of those unconvicted ruffians who now and then escape in the last crisis, as it were, of fate, the ignominious doom they have justly merited. It is undoubtedly a sound principle of humanity, and of justice as well as of law, to assume any man inno cent, in the face of whatever evidence may have been brought forward to substantiate his guilt, uc.til a verdict of Guilty shall have been recorded against bias. At the same time there are facts and circumstances on which, though the cumulative and legal proof necessary to establish a conviction may be wanting, the impression of the public mind is clear and distinct that they are conclusive of the guilt of the accused. We mentioned the case of one " SHEENE," tried many years ago at the bar of the Old Bailey, for the murder of his infant child by cutting its head off. This ruffian escaped conviction at the time, solely by virtue of some worthless quibble as to the technical description in the indictment of himself or his victim—(for we really forget which). Whichever it was, he had been styled in the pleas of the Crown " THOMAS " for " JOHN," or " JOHN " for " THOMAS." So ciety, it might have been supposed, was in terested only to know—first, whether a murder had been committed upon the child; secondly, by whom; and upon neither of these points was the slightest doubt expressed, either by the jury or the judge. The flaw in the indictment, however, being pleaded by his counsel, was held to be fatal, and he escaped that doom which it would be an affectation of delicacy to suppose that any individual in the country, who had perused the evidence tendered at his trial, ever doubted that he had most richly merited. In these distressing cases, where the meshes of the law may be said to break through after hav ing netted their prey, natural instinct usually deters the monster which has broken out of them from ever ven turing again into their vicinity. So, in those rare 'cases where a technical informality has overridden the whole force of direct proof, positive depositions, and circum stantial evidence, the lucky delinquent has gene rally been too happy to withdraw himself from the yell of public indignation and the pointed finger of scorn and infamy, in the safe retreat of obscurity and silence. In the police re ports for Wednesday last, under the head of Wor ship-street, we read of a WILLIAM SHEEN, brought up for having assaulted and threatened the life of a re spectable publican. The case was proved to the satis faction of the magistrate, and SHEEN was bound over to keep the peace, himself in his own recognizance for 100 L, with two sureties of 50L each. These were very readily procured, for this SHEEN, it appears, is a pros perous personage, possessing household property in the ♦icinity of the office to the amount of more than 70/. per annum. It is further stated that he is the same man, we were going to say, who, having cut off the head of his infant child, was allowed, through the carelessness of the Clerk of the Arraigns, to slip his own out of the halter. We had no expectation of ever encountering this " wolf-head" again. We had thought that even the most obscene and darksome purlieus of Shoreditch and Spitalfields could have vindicated themselves from the imputation of har bouring such inhabitants. But this is an age of surprises• It must be imagined that the public like to renew old acquaintances of however questionable a reputation under any circumstances however startling. For our own parts, we are beyond the reach of such emotions. Nil admirari is the motto we take up with. WO should scarcely utter an interjection were we told to-morrow that the injured and scientific experimentalist, Mr. BELANEY, was endeavouring to get enrolled as licentiate in medicine and surgery under a new Charter for " par ticular " instead of " general " practitioners. Yet we do marvel at our law of bail, or the discretion of our magistrates in administering it. To-day a gentleman of great respectability is brought before one magistrate, for soundly horsewhipping the seducer of his own daughter in the person of his brother-in-law, her uncle. Application is made to bail the gentleman who has, under such irrepressible feelings of resentment, com mitted such an act of violence. The Magistrate, Mr. TWY?ORD, refuses under circumstances thus special to accept bail, and asks, with a simplicity quite touching— " Why should he ?" To-morrow you shall have a no torious murderer, with no other recommendations but those of his luck in defrauding the public executioner, brought up on a charge of wanton and brutal assault without any such provocation of intolerable injury, before another magistrate. The charge is proved to his satis faction, and this Magistrate, on bail being tendered for the notorious offender before him, accepts it with a facility that seems to ask—" why should he not?" There was a good deal of sound constitutional doc trine in Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech of Wednesday night last, on the subject of party. For such a dis course the third reading of the Maynooth Grant Bill undoubtedly furnished a very apt text, and we hope that Lord INGESTRE will not lightly forget the somewhat severe illustration into which Lord Join( was so kind as to manufacture him, of that embodiment of party " which has all its defects, and none of its redeeming good properties." There is a small class of very small politicians, whom it is expedient to instruct in the salutary lesson, that party, however good it may be in relation to its results and influences on the service and welfare of the public, cannot be tolerated for palpable objects of private advantage. But the remarkable division of Wednesday shows such a singular fusion of parties, such an array of con fused and conflicting opinions on the side of a measure of justice and liberal feeling towards our Roman Catholic brethren of Ireland, that we would fain draw from it an augury of permanent benefit to the highest interests of the public, through the toning down of extreme opinions, the abandonment of personal prejudices and distrusts, and the combina tion of political antagonists in a brave and generous alliance to uphold the institutions of their common country, by giving to all classes of the community a genuine and equal interest is them. Could we but evoke from the marshalled benches within the House, where men on both sides, for the most part, follow as accurately and obediently the tactics of their political leader, as a line of newly-drilled soldiers watch the motions of their fugleman—could we but evoke many such divisions into the lobbies without, we might reasonably hope that the reign of common sense and truthfulness was at hand. Men would soon be brought into a habit of voting as they thought, not as they were whipped, as it is called in Parliamentary parlance. The principles of free trade would find new exponents, who would awaken, as from a dream, to a sense of wonder at the perverse tenacity with which they had ad h li in e t si r et e e a d al , Connexions,duoin c t i m n g a ntyh the y p y o e nb a o r n s , dt sel t a o v ems t more roeef emonopoly d f vi hsni e ßv w eT s which ccio i m n t ion t hgneps f o rwa r de pre m n i i xateed. as d i vi v a i n sio e a c n s th s i ov t en h l e cd y o h c m o am u v l ei d t t e ec n o o .l t mo b na u en t l in conducting Railway Bills ; Sir ROBERT INGLIS better bringing in appropriation cl auses f or the em ployment of the surplus revenues of D eans and Cha p ters Mr. PLUMPTRE seconding Lord MANNER S ' motio fo.; the repeal of the Statutes of Mortmain ; Mr. W.

Party must be, per se, quite as good a thing as Lord Madrid . journals of the 16th instant have been re ceived, but they bring no news. A rumour prevailed that General CONCHA, Governor of Catalonia, was about to be removed from the command of that province According to another rumour, a Carlist rising was ex pected at Arragon. The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3.16 for cash, and 341- at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25* at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8k for the 27th among the last agreed to, and tS Bill passed. Com. mittees of the Chamber were enged in examining the Paris and Strasburg lines, and he branch line from Metz to Saarbruck. The . line fro Orleans to Tours, it was expected, would be openet in September. The Constitutisnnel says:-" Indepenently of the ships of the line and those of a smaller free appointed to cruise in the Mediterranean for pradce, there is to be a division formed of steam-frigate. Admiral PARCEVAL DESCHENES will continue to gormand the first, and the Prince DE JOINVILLE the seond, who will probably have the chief command, if to two squadrons act to gether."

In case two members, differing from the rest on any point, shall demand to have the question postponed until the opinion of one or several absent directors might be made known, a copy or extract of the minutes shall be sent to all the members absent, with a request to them to come and vote at the next meeting on a certain appointed day. or to address, in writing, their opinion to the chairman.

The steamer from the West Indies brings favourable ac counts of the crops, &c., and the exports of sugar had been large from most o f the islands up to the respective dates. The T rinidad folks com plained, nevertheless, that they had not made quite so much sugar as they expected. The colonists generally ap peared in good spirits, except at Barbadoes, where the want of rain was serionsly felt. The accession of labour by the arrival of the hill-coolies was likely to give heart to the planters generally, In Hayti hostilities were expected to recommence, He rard, the ex-President, having again landed on the island.

They do not contain any item of news of the least importance. The Queen's natal day ( Saturday) was celebrated at Clare mont. At seven o'clock precisely the band of the Grenadier Guards, led by Mr. Schott, master of the band, commenced a serenade with the performance of the " Reveille," from their station near the portico at the east front of the mansion. The band afterwards performed the following pieces : Choral, from the " Zauberflote." Romanza, Duetto e Finale, from " Lucretia Borgia." T'HE COLOSSEUM. NIGHT EXHIBITION. The Colosseum was opened on Saturday evening, for a prix-ate vi ew of the night exhibition. and a most gorgeous and magnificent exhibition it is. On entering in Alt any-street, the visitor is conducted through the magnificent corridor, lighted by twenty. six colossal tripods, to the refreshment room, cros,ing hich, he finds himsel: in the Glyptotheca, or Hall of Sculpture, which is also splendidly illuminated. Entering the as cending room, or, if he prefers it, ascending the stair case, he finds himself in the gallery, and "London by Night " bursts upon him. The splendid pano rama, an entirely different picture from the panorama exhibited by day, is erected in front of that picture. The dioramic effects produced in this magnificent work of art are truly wonderful. As the spectator debouches on the platform his attention is first attracted by the clear blue sky, begemmed with twinkling stars, while ever and anon a fleecy cloud flies across it. He looks down and beholds the illuminated city mapped out at his feet—long and brilliant lines of light from lamps and shop-windows mark out the great leading thoroughfares, while here and there the upper windows of the houses appear irregularly illuminated, the lights occasionally appearing and disappearing, as the dwellers may be sup posed to enter or leave the rooms. The moon is at the full, and the river, " flowing at its own sweet will," reflects the moonlight from its rippling surface. The lamps of the bridges, too, are reflected beautifully—now appearing mirrored clearly and dis tinctly in the stream below— now broken up into a thousand glittering fragments of light by the eddies of the current. This picture is certainly one of the most marvellous efforts of the pictorial art ever produced. The honour of the design is due to Mr. W. Bradwell, and the artists whose magic pencils have executed it are Mr. Danson and Mr. Telbin. Descending to the Glypto theca, we next make our way to the Chalet and Alpine tor rent. The sound of the falling waters—the appearance of the rushing cascades seen by the dim light of evening—the " monarch of mountains" i❑ the back ground, towering to the heavens and reflecting the light from his " crown of snow," while all below reposes in his gigantic shadow, produce an effect that is awfully sublime. It is a place in which one would willingly rest awhile—a place in which one feels the full force of the sublime passage of scripture, "Commune with thine own heart, and be still." Quitting the Chalet we enter the Stalactite Cavern, the palace of the gnomes, and other earth-born deities, with its brilliant and glisteninc , fantastic colemns, its dropping waters, and its sluggish cakes. This is the last scene of this palace of enchantment, and we quit this most magnificent of exhibitions so fascinated, so delighted with all we have beheld, that it is not until we find ourselves in the busy street, wending our weary way homewards, that we feel perfectly convinced that all we have seen there is not reality. Gallop, Millanolo. The performance concluded with the National Anthem. A select circle, who had been honoured with invitations, in cluding the Marquis of Exeter, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Marl of Jersey, Hon. Miss Murray, Hon.

We extract from the Feuille de Commerce of the 29th Apri the following particulars of the death of the President, and the appointment of his successor :—" After a long and glorious career, surrounded by difficulties without number, the modest, the brave, and benevolent President Philipe Guerrier has paid the debt of nature. He died at the National Palace of St. Marc, on Tuesday, the 15th April, at half-past four in the afternoon, in the midst of his numerous family, inconsolable, like the whole republic, for such:a great loss, He had shown, during a long and painful illness, the resignation of a good man and a Christian. He was called to the Presidency at a time the most difficult, and, perhaps, the most critical in which the Republic has existed since its foundation, and it required all his persevering moderation to have restored, in such a short period, tranquillity amidst the incessant schemes and concealed plots of certain persons, who dreamed only of revolutions, and of those disorders which follow in its train. He died without ever having shed a drop of blood, or signed one death.warrant." On the announcement of his death, the Council of State assembled, and after mature deliberation, conformably to Art. 10 of the Decree of Nov. 1844, proceeded to the vote for a new President, when General Louis Pierrot was unanimously elected, and invited to proceed to the capital forthwith, and take the oath of fidelity to the nation. Decrees were immediately issued announcing these facts and regulating the ceremonies to be observed at the funeral of the late President. The following is an extract of a letter from Port-au-Frince, dated April 20, 1845 :—" I send you the local newspapers !hat you may see the death of our President and the election of another. Herard de Riviere has shown himself in the Colombian schooner off several of the ports of the Republic, but has met no where with encouragement ; and as he has thus far escaped the cruisers sent by the present Government after him it is presumed he is either gone on to the Spanish main or returned to Jamaica. Whether he will venture on the latter course Is doubtful, as it is understood he had previously pledged his word and honour as an officer to the authorities in Jamaica that he had no intention what. ever to visit or molest this Island." ..... _ We are all anxlous for the arrival here of General Pierrot, the new President. He %; , as a Prince under King Christophe, being the brother of her Majesty, and is a most strict disciplinarian. He is clever and energetic, but ag ,od, being as old as the late President, about eighty years of age. He 5 7as in command of the northern district of the Republic, and his heaul quarters, Cape Haytien. THE LATE DUEL AT 3OSPORT. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] The cause of this lamentable affair, which has excited so much sensation was, Mrs. Hockie's going to dance twice wit?.‘ Mr. Seton, contrary to her husband's desires. It is true that Mr. Hockie, and his second, Mr. Pym, prac tised at Sherwood's shooting gallery before they went out, but they did so solely with a view of trying the pistols, and not, as has been so industriously asserted, to improve their skill in the use of the weapon. The report of the Times' Correspondent was full of exaggerations, and evidently proceeded from a party hostile to Mr. Hockie. By virtue of the recent regulation of duelling in the army and navy, the commissions of Lieut. Hockie, Pym, and Bowles, are all forfeited. It must be a subject of deep regret that Lieut Hockie did not select a civilian as a second, instead of a young officer, as he must have been aware that his accepting such an office would have involved the loss of his commission. As the insult offered to Mr. Seton by Mr. Hockie was so public, it seems surprising, and reflects little credit on the proper authorities, that the parties were not prevented meeting, especially as the duel did not take place until five o'clo,:k the following afternoon. DETENTION OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain Crozer, which left the river in the early part of the week, on an ex pedition t o explore the Arctic regions, accompanied by the Monkey and Rattler steam.ships, in order to tow them off the Orkney Islands, have been obliged to bring up off Aldborough, owing to the fearful north-easterly gales which have of late been blowing, and, up to the last accounts were still lying in the roadstead. The gale of Wednesday night was very severe; a number of vessels parted from their anchors. One vessel, named the Daniel, belonging to Mal_ don, was driven by the fury of the gale on to Pakefield Flat, near Lowestoffe. The crew, finding that she had become a wreck, took to the boat, when unfortunately, on nearing the beach, it cap sized ; three poor fellows clung to the bottom and were saved, but the remainder, four in number, including the captain and mate, perished. _ . ti,ARE COPIES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTCRES.—In the last day's sale of a portion of a nobleman's library, on Thursday, an edition" of the Holy Scriptures, of exceeding rarity, was sold. It was thus described in the catalogue :—" Holy Bible, in which is con. tayned the Olde and Newe Testament, truly and purely translated into English by Thomas Matthew, black letter, morocco extra, gilt edges. by Clarke, 1537. The real name of the translator was John Rogers, who was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign. The present copy is perfect, with the exception of the following defects—a letter or two cut off at the bottom of the first title, the title to the Prophets is repaired at the bottom, two leaves in the table and the imprint are in fac.simile by Harris, the corner of Goa 2 torn off, and a few leaves repaired." It was pur chased for 105 guineas Prince _Napoleon Bonaparte, whose arrival in Paris we have announced, appeared on Wednesday in one of the re served seats of the Chamber of Deputies. His features resemble those of the late Emperor, and his appearance in the Chamber excited much interest. The Earl of Seafield has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel. THE MAYNOOTH. BILL. The Committee of the Anti-Maynooth Dissenters' Conference have requested us to publish the follow ing address to the Catholics of Ireland. We pub lish many things of course of which we do not approve, and this is one, but we give it as a document issuing from a body of religionists, possibly with the hope of making an impression on others of a different persuasion. What chance is there, however, that it will make the slightest impression ? The Catholics are naturally highly indignant at the hostility dis played against their religion by the English Dis senters, and will look upon this admonition as only adding mockery to insult. They have approved of the Maynooth Bill to a man, they regard it as a proof that a Tory Government means to consult Irish in terest*. The only real opposition made to it is by men who denounce their religion as damnable and idol atrous, and though the party that recognises John Burnet as a leader may disclaim such vile accusations, they are too much mixed up with the enemies of Ire land to be regarded as impartial monitors : ADDRESS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF IRELAND, FROM THE CONFERENCE OF PROTESTANT DISSENTERS HELD IN CROSBY-HALL, LONDON, ON MAY THE 20TH AND 21ST, 1845. Fellow Subjects,—There are crises which occasionally occur in national history so momentous as to warrant a departure from all the ordinary methods of political intercourse, and to justify an appeal, not to individuals, however distinguished, nor to any isolated bodies of men, brit to a nation at large; such a crisis, in our deliberate judgment, has now arrived, and we therefore feel that in embracing it no further apology is necessary. You are placed by circumstances, the origin and growth of which it is unnecessary to trace, in a position so conspicuous and so critical as to attract towards you the anxious attention of all patriotic men in these realms, and of the liberal and thoughtful throughout the civilised world. On your conduct at the present juncture, the mightiest and most sacred interests are suspended, and with you, under divine Providence, rest those issues which are destined to give a completion, for an indefinite period, to the history of this empire. Your fidelity to the great principles of justice must inevitably promote its peace, prosperity, and freedom ; your betrayal of them will necessarily be the omen, at least, of their tem porary disaster and defeat. You will not suppose that, professing as we do the principles of civil and religious freedom, we are instiga ted in our present appeal by a desire to cajole you into any intermission of your efforts in the great cause of justice to Ireland. We highly appreciate her resources ; we deeply sympathise with her wrongs. We have ever advocated her claims, and we have long admired the pa triotic zeal of her people to achieve, by peaceful means, the restoration of her unquestionable rights. You need not to be reminded that the Dissenters of England were among the warmest supporters of the Catholic Relief Bill ; that they heartily advocated the equal ex tension of political privileges to the Irish as to the Eng lish people ; that they supported the claims of your country to an equal share in the benefits of Municipal Reform; that they rejoiced in the abolition of your Vestry Cess ; and that they viewed with strong indig nation the recent attempts of your Government to strain the powers of the law in the tyrannical suppression of public opinion. They have ever fought side by side with you in all your conflicts for social and political equality, nor will any misconstruction which may have been put OR their conduct prevail to diminish the earnestness of their efforts in your defence. Still you cannot expect them to surrender, on this very account, the principles Which, even on the occasions referred to, have regulated their public conduct. We have ever held that, of all the grievances under which your country has laboured, the establishment of the Anglican church in Ireland is the most unjustifiable and oppressive, and we pledge ourselves never to remit our efforts to remove from you this intolerable burden. We deem it a fundamental maxim, even of the commonest political justice—and in this opinion we are fortified by that of some of the most eminent members of the Roman Catholic church—that no compulsory payments can be rightfully demanded for the support of any religious system whatever. In this simple but vital principle lies involved the whole philosophy of Nonconformity. The slightest deviation from this ground would virtually amount to a surrender of our consistency, and would obviously expose us to the merited derision of all discerning men. Now it will be plain to you that the proposed mea sure for the permanent endowment of the College of Mayncoth involves the most direct invasion of this prin ciple. It places your dissenting fellow-subjects in the very position from which they are striving to rescue you. It violates their consciences as offensively as the Pro testant establishment, in its tyrannical exactions, vioL!es yours. It re-enacts the obnoxious principle, it is an extenjun of the very system, which you, in com mon with ourselves, have long been labouring to over throw. To tolerate ill's measure, is distinctly to sanction and assert that principle. It is impossible, moreover, to mistake the design of this measure. If it could be regarded as a legitimate, though scanty instalment of the heavy debt of justice which England owes to your country, we should be the first to hail it; but, were there no other consideration, the quarter from which it comes forbids this supposition. If, as your justly indignant feelings lead you sometimes to suppose, you have natural enemies in this country, it is with them that this measure originates. Defeated in their attempts to overawe you by the terrors of law and the array of military force, an oligarchy, notoriously hostile to popular feeling, addicted by their ordinary policy to measures of coercion, yet vacillating in all their courses, and open to the influence of the meanest mo tives, now insult your public virtue by the offer of paltry bribe. We have greatly miscalculated the tiigh feeling of the Irish people, whose modern history r:trnishes the most demonstrative vindica tion of the nta7 principle—who, oppressed by an opulent and alien hie:."rchy, drained of their res ources by aristocratic absentees, crippled in their com merce by selfish restrictions, ani, with all thei r un equal local capabilities turned to the Condition of a desert, have borne up the fabric of a religion on the sinews of poverty, and maintained their worship by the mites of indigence thrown into the treasury—we have, we repeat, greatly miscalculated the high feeling of the Irish people, if they are to be seduced from their lofty position by such fawning blandishments and transpa rent arts as these—if, like the ill-famed heroine of an tiquity, they will surrender the citadel they have so nobly defended, in consideration of the worthless orna ments which bedizen the arms of their foes. No ! fellow-countrymen, let it never be said that you, who, in your majestic course, hare braved the terrors of phy sical coercion, and who have risen unharmed from the fires of legal prosecution, have yielded to the first mere tricious smile of those who, from the highest seats of power, have denounced you " aliens in blood, aliens in language, aliens in religion." The boon thus gratuitously offered by the Govern ment has no relation whatever to the real grievances of your country. It is manifestly designed as a diver sion, to relax your interest and to withdraw your at tention from the substantial evils which oppress you. had her Majesty's Government been possessed with a sincere desire to serve you, they might have found innumeeable opportunities of doing so without violating our conscience or compromising your independence. They might have conceded to you a proportionate share in the national representation ; they might have thrown open to you the advantages of your metropolitan university ; above all, they might have relieved you from the incubus of the Protestant Church. From the attainment of these and similar essential reforms, which the Government are un willing to concede, it is, in our judgment, the purpose of this insidious measure to beguile you ; and should they succeed, they will have thrown back indefinitely the cause of justice to Ireland, and have rendered one of the most imposing movements for national freedom, the object of lasting and of justly merited derision. It is for you, fellow-subjects, whose characteristic sagacity cannot fail to detect this ill-concealed design, to avert, by a timely and resolute opposition, so fatal and dis graceful a result. If, again, this grant is to be regarded for a moment in ' ' 4) I the light of restitution, the meanness of the pr „ post" sufficiently indicates that it is intended merelas preli• minary. It is too absurd to suppose that the wealtbiest and most powerful Government in the wor ld, F ou look upon the insignificant pittance of about 26,000/. year, as a compensation for the urgent claims 0f a Aveat people. But if this measure is preliminary, we beg you to consider what is that system which it is de signed to introduce. The cautious and characteristic silence of the Government has been generally, and, vie believe, correctly interpreted, both within and without the walls of Parliament, as a virtual admission of their desire eventually to take the whole body of your priest hood into the pay of the State. Can it be necessary' to suggest to you the consequences of such a snbe c t ne he It would violate the consciences, riot only class who already suffer a scarcely t o lerable indignitY on this account, but of the entire Christian connar; nity in these realms. Dissenters, who already' under the exactions of one establishment, will rise witu f a more resolute determination against the endowmet.° a second. The recognised leaders of the Irish Catholic! have again and again pronounced decisively egain' t either an arrangement ; while the Anglican church must repeal its articles or sacrifice every claim to consistence and good faith. Religious animosities, proverbially t he most bitter that agitate the breasts of men, w° lll ß d tat e e exacerbated to an incalculable degree ; while , as the support and State control are invariably correlative, a most earnest of your religious teachers would be Pla c _ e l e under a dictation unbearably galling to all save tnes'r whom it may seduce to the compromise of all that is (le h to high-minded and conscientious men. In a wordy .st l , c i jo a measure would reduce to a mere name all public tha and consistency. and stain with ineffable disgrace sacred cause of Christianity itself. vera' The opposition of the Dissenting body to the Go to ment measure has, by some thoughtless and imPe t , li s e n d men, been indiscriminately condemned as fanatical $5 bigoted. We indignantly repudiate the chargeoer applied to the great Nonconforming body. Let us ° s ide hear it repeated. We are ready to contend by g lic i Ats, for the attainment of an equal participation of al l f i c r iot ecclesiastical, political, and social ; but c,ste l sacrifice our consciences to the success of a i be to nor will we patiently submit to be taxed for a br,ere tt you, which wo would spurn with con tem p t, offered to ourselves. for With all the earnestness, then, which a non ce ',, see the highest interests of our fellow men can coy` conjure you, by your self-respect as British subj ec t re so' o t l the teeolroddfeitfnyeanprdyoesrci defenders consistency, position s3 y t, eo o nu u cry o c,ncaaustpi national liatsifcratehleedaogpn:en_a, tcsnebt:tiltabbi. all, by the solemn requirements of religio— „r fi ery st?t al : reject the unhallowed bribe offered at your back by secular and hostile hands; and, turning Y ° :" . w titre"' the temporary and crafty homage of a fantic,l3c'h the r eg. yourself on the might of those resources, by sch' ca tion of gion of Christ survived, at its origin, the Pea vie trus t ' a world ; and in the strength of which it is, , o f raso• destined hereafter to bless the universal flunijY Signed on behalf of the Conference, Bijßl6l'.
