THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. STAMFORD, JULY 10. The Independent Electors of Stamford are alone in the field, canvassing zealously, with every pre. speet of success, for Mr. A. F. Gregory, of Stivio. Hall, Warwickshire, assisted by Mr. Parkes. Tilt y have every prospect of success, and the new bowl. dary addition of St. Martin's parish, it is found, will not yield any majority to the nominees of the Marquess of Exeter. It is the Hampton Court of Stamford; and, as an airy and quiet situation, out of the borough, is inhabited in nearly one third of its gross number of 101. householders, by single ladies and widows, on whom the Reform Bill does not confer the right of voting. The Marquess of Exeter and his obedient corporation have not yet produced any candidates in the " Red interest." The party, however, are canvassing the " thumbed voters" for two anonymous candidates; and thus the farce is being acted of soliciting the suffrages of electors against a man of high character and sound political principles for two nominees of the Marquis of Exeter when they shall be found! How long a British nobleman can continue such a system of influencing the votes of elector 4, it is not difficult to foresee. The corporation having issued a red bill, warning the burgesses not to pledge their votes as "two candi dates would be shortly introduced to them," tilt independent party issued the following electioneering squib : " Five Pouiads Reward ! " Wanted immediately—Two Candidates in the ' Red and Green Interest.' "In consequence of the last rout and defeat of the Mar nues-s of Exeter and his subservient corporation, and the determination of the independent electors to return Cap tain Gregory at the head of the poll in the ensuing elec tion, two candidates for the red party (from a distance) are wanted immediately—the two old ones being sick and indisposed. " As the last contest cost the Marquess of Exeter (for Lord T. Cecil) and Colonel Chaplin upwards of 10,0001., it is particularly urged that nothing be said to a new comer on the subject of money, for fear of his bolting. "(Private.)--The fact of a swarm of locust lawyers and hired agents, the vulurcs of a losing cause, should be care• fully concealed from the flats who may be brought forward. " J-s T--n, Town Clerk. " Stamford, Sunday Night, Sth July, l 532. " N. B. The Juvenile Committee, which last year un happily cost 3,0001., will, on this occasion, be dispensed with, but it is the only practicable retrenchment that can be allowed by the vultures." BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.—PAR LIAMENTARY PLEDGES. Yesterday afternoon a very numerous and highly respectable public meeting of the electors of the borough of Marylebone, which includes the populous and exten%ive parishes of St. Marylebone, St. Pan• eras, and Paddington, was held in the large room of the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's Wood, for the purpose of considering of the measures which they will require their representatives to support in Par liament. JOSEPH HUME, Esq. M.P., was unanimously called to the Chair, which he accepted amid the most enthusiastic cheering. The Hon. CllinstAN rose, and spoke to the follow ing effect :—He was at all times most anxious to further the wishes of his fellow-parishioners, especially on an occasion like the present, when they were assembled to consider what measures they would require those representatives they elected to support in Parliament. The meeting was aware that Com mittees had been appointed in each of the ti ree great parishes within the district, preparatory to the present highly important meeting. Those Committees, he was happy to say, had faithfully discharged the trust reposed in them, and had convened the present meeting for the purpose of laying before it such pledges as they called upon the electors of this large borough to require, and obtain from the candidates before they gave them their votes. The eyes of the world were fixed upon the metropolitan districts, it having been stated by the Anti-Reformers that the electors could not conduct themselves with propriety at elections. The Hon. Gentleman trusted that eve! ) , one present would give those Anti-Reformers the lie direct, by acting as became free-born Englishmen on the present occasion. Now that the people of this borough had the elective franchise for the first time conferred upon them, it was to be exercised with purity and independence for the general inte rests of the community. The Constitution stated that there should be no taxation without repre• sentation, which was the foundation of the institu tion of the House of Commons. None but men of talent, of integrity, of business, and indefatigability, were eligible to be returned as Members of Parlia ment, for already were the evils of long-continued misrule and selfishness apparent from the return of men divested of those qualifications. But for the election of such representatives the Reform Bill will, in its beneficial effects, become inoperative. He trusted the electors of this borough would set an example to the rest of the electors of the United Kingdom, by the proper selection to represent their interests in Parliament. The electors should obtain pledges from the candidates before they gave them their support, though he should not like to see the elec• tors binding their representatives to the imrnediatAlkay that they should advocate what they were pledged to support, for then they would become merely dele gates, and not representatives. The object of the electors should be, cheap law, cheap government, cheap bread, cheap knowledge. No dissolution of Parliament could take place till the month of De cember, and as there was a clause in the Reform Act which enacted that all poor-rates and assess ments due on the 6th of April last, must be paid by the 20th of this month, to entitle the rate -pa) ers to vote, it behoved the electors to petition the legislature to extend the time for the payment of these rates. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by calling upon the meeting to hear every speaker with attention, and impartiality. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, Bart., read the petition addressed to the House of Commons, and in a speech of great length and ability, shewed the evil that would be entailed upon the Reformers of Eng- land, were the prayer of the petition not granted. The Hon. Blronet said he had had an interview with Lord John Russell and Sir John Cam Hob house, Bart., upon the subject, and they had ex pressed the deep solicitude of his Majesty's Govern. ment that the people should have their just rights. The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving the reso lution. After a few words from Mr. SAVAGE, Mr. HAY DON, and Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, the petition was agreed to. Mr. REVELL then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. After a few prelatory remarks upon the necessity of demanding and obtaining pledges from the candidates before they gave thern their suffrage, he proposed resolutions seriatim, that the following be the pledges, namely, the advocacy of cheap government ; a sound and rational system of national education, free from pecuniary pains or sectarian exclusion and legislative enactments ; to prevent rather than punish crime; the repeal of the poor and the excise laws; the abolition of the pu nishment of death, except in cases of murder; the abolition of tithes, and ail abuses of the church es tablishment ; the repeal of the corn laws ; the due and effectual administration of justice; the election by the people of their own magistrates; the removal of all restrictions upon the press and the diffusion of knowledge; the abolition of all useless offices, and the repeal of all unmerited pensions ; the reduction of the staff and standing army ; the abolition of the impressment of seamen, and of naval and nuiitary flogging; a sufficient control over the police Mice by the parishioners, and a reduction in its ex penditure ; the definition of the law of libel, and the Punishment thereof; a repeal of the Septennial Act ; equal rights to England, Scotland, and Ireland ; the establishment of the ballot at all elections ; that they will give a constant attendance in the House of Commons and at the Committees ; and resign their seats whenever called upon to do so by a majority of their constituents at a public meeting duly con vened in the borough. [The whole of the resolu tions were received with the most deafening an ~; \~~,l etithu4astic cheering, which lasted several minutel If, said ?Jr. Revell, these advantages be gained by the Reform Nil, he would, to the latest moment f his life, bless the day when the rights of Englishmen were restored. Mr. MURPHY, in seconding the resolutions, made an energetic appeal to the meeting to support, not only the above resolutions, but also to pledge the Members to whcm they gave their suffrages to sup port the repeal of all taxes which press upon the indu , try of the people. The resolutions, including Mr. Murphy's, were carried unanimously. Mr. GUTHRIE proposed, and Mr. CRAWIORD seconded, a resolution to the effect that the Mem , - bers pledge themselves to support the abolition of all property qualifications both in the elccters arid the elected. The resolution was carried nem. con. Mr. HALL proposed that the Mernbers of Parlia& ment for this borough should be returned to Parlia ment free of all expense. Mr. WartuotN, an operative, seconded the reso lotion in a very sensible speech, and it was agreed to. A committee was then appointed to tarry the re solutions into effect, and a liberal collection was made at the doors. Three cheers havingbeen given to the Hon. Chair man, the meeting dispersed. PECKHAM MEETING. Yesterday, a most gratifying spectacle was exhi bited at Peckham. A dinner was given to the working classes by their more opulent neighbours, to celebrate the Reform Bills. Mr. Benjamin Wood presided. He was supported on his right and left by his brother, the Alderman, Mr. Palmer, Me. Tennyson, the candite for Lambeth, who had been i►►vited to attend, and several other gentlemen. Roast beef and plum pudding were provided in abundance for 700 people, who conducted them selves in the most orderly manner; a►►d the whole went off so as to prove that reformers of the poorest classes cart meet, even for the purposes of conviality, without realizing the predictions, and perhaps, the wishes, of their political opponents. Several toasts were given, attended by appropri ate speeches, and it afforded us great satisfaction to observe that the King's health was drunk with pe culiar enthusiasm, and that the most constitutional spirit prevailed throughout. " God save the King" was sung by the whole company, standing. Mr. TENNYSON'S health v%as also proposed, in connexion with the Reformers of England, and that gentleman was received in a manner which must have convinced him that he is perfectly secure of his election; for although the majority who sat at the tables might not be voters, an immense assem blage of electors witnessed the enlivening scene. Mr. TENNYSON addressed them in an impressive speech, suitable to the occasion, which was loudly cheered. He proposed the health of Mr. Alterman Wood, who seems to retain all the gayety and po pularity which ever belonged to him. Various patriotic toast;, intermingled with song•, occupied the company till about seven o'clock, when Alley broke up, highly delighted with their enter tainment. It was spread under an extensive booth, which was graced by the presence of great numbers of the fair sex, from the most respectable classes of scciety, who came as spectators. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-There was found in the gills of a large haddock, purchased in Perth market last week, a gold mounted brooch, with a real amethyst stone in it.—Scotsman. A young woman, a nursemaid to Lad, BERKELEY, of Chester street , Grosvenor-place, was take ill at one o'clock on Tuesday and died at four. It is sai d that it was a decided case of cholera. Another servan t remains ill. The family have left the house in consequensye . The father and mother of a young girl afflicted with rheumatic pa'ns determined on curing her ; and, according to the advice of one of those female physicians who are to he found in every village, they placed the girl in an oven, where she expired after about thirty-five minutes' suffering. Brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Autun, the father and mother, who were proved to have behaved tenderly towards their dau4hter, and the female doctor, were condemned—the first to a fine of five francs, and the two others to five days' imprisonment.-- French Paper. DRAMATIC STORIES.—Mr. THOMAS A 'l som), son of the proprietor of one of our favourite sum mer theatres, has just published, under the above title, a series of stories of various countries combining great dramatic power and effect. The public, we understand, will shortly have an opportunity of witnessing their repre sentation on the London boards; this appears, indeed, to have been the author's grand aim in writing the work. Lord DUNCANNON has made arrangements with the parish-officers of St. George and Chelsea, to widen Grosvenor-bridge, at the lower end of Eaton square, to make it more convenient for his MAJESTY to pass when he comes to town from Windsor, up the King's-road. In its present state it is inconvenient and dangerous for foot passengers. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—Yesterday morn ing the Qd battalion of the 2d Regiment, or Coldstream Guards, marched from the Tower, on thrir route to Dub lin ; the 2d battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, from Portman-street Barracks to the Tower; and the 34 battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, from the temporary barracks at Hornsey, to the King's-mews, Charing-cross; the Ist battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, from the King's-mews to Portman-street Barracks. We are sorry to have to an nounce that, in consequence of the state of Ireland, a prompt addition to its military force has been deemed necessary, and that the following regiments are now under orders for that distracted country :—The 14th, the 85th, the 90th, and the 91. t. This last regiment commenced its march for Manchester, to embark at Liverpool. The 80th Regiment has been recently sent to Ireland, and a battalion of the Guards is now on i-s march to supply the place of the battalion which has just returned from Dublin. DUEL.—At five o'clock on Wednesday evening Messrs. O'BRIEN and O'MariortY, both of Mit. chelstown, and both of anti-tithe notoriety, met in Castle Hyde demesne to settle a dispute which originated in a motion respecting the mob assembli• s denominated Anti•tithe Meetings. They were just placed on the ground by the seconds, when Mr. CORBAN, a neig , bour ing Magistrate, who had been apprised of their intentions, appeared in sight, and the hostile parties had only time to tire one round, which nearly proved fatal to Mr. O'MAHorty, he having received the ball in his back parts, somewhere below the hip, where it lodged; but Dr. Dowrima extracted it on the spot. Mr. O'BRIEN had narrowly escaped from the violence of the mob, having been obliged to drive his chaise across a fordable part of the Blackwater, and afterwards to hide in a lime-kiln. His house in Mitchelstown has been demolished, I under stand, and vengeance denounced against those who will drink the porter which he sells on commission for Messrs. BEA mist' and CRAWFOILD..-...Cork Constitution. THE PITMEN.--A MAN SHOT.—The differences which still unhappily exist between the pitmen and the coalowners, have just led to a further destruc Lion of human life. Yesterday evening (Sunday, July 8), in consequence of some of the pitmen having threatened to prevent any of the men lately hired fur Burd on M a i n colliery, near North Shields, from going to work there, RALPH FuLcus and other constables went to afford protec tion to them and to the colliery. On their passing Dos soN's public-house, a short distance from the village of Chinon, a pitman, who was sitting on the railway, used very abusive language towards them, and said, " Never , a k black legged should go to work that night." arA:us lesred him to go away, but he would not, and finding remonstrance had no effect, he took him into custody. Immediately on this a nurNber of pitmen coming from the direction of DOBSON'S hous?, attacked the police officers, and forcibly rescued the prisoner from them. One of ti e constables, MATTHEW RAISE, was knocked down, and a general scuffle took place. The pitmen had greatly the advantage in number, there being about thirty of them, while there were five only of the police. One of the pit men, of the name of CUTHBERT SKIPSEY, endeavoured to wrest a pistol from GEORGE WEDDELL, a constable, and succeeded in throning hits on the ground. On this Mairror:w RAINE struck SKIPSP.Y'S hand and obliged him to release his hold. WEDDELL, thus relieved, re treated fur some distance, but finding he was pursued by SKIPSEY he fired, and SKIPSEY staggered a few yards and fell down dead. These are the circumstances as far as we have been able to ascertain them. No coroner's inquest has yet been held. The pitmen seem resolved to carry every thing by phy6ieal force.— Tyne Mercury.

MEMORANDUM.—The King has been pleased to grant to the Royal Regiment of Artillery and Corps of Royal Engi , eers, his Majesty's permission to wear on their appointments the Royal arms and supporters, together with a cannon and the motto, Übique quo fas et glOria ducunt.” WHITEHALL, JULY 10.

ROBE.—At the Exeter City Sessions on Monday, there were six prisoners, forming, however, but four se parate cases, and yet during the forenoon no less than fifteen Barristers dropped in. EXPECTED MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.-- We hear a Noble member of the Cabinet is on the eve of matrimony with the beautiful widow of a gentlem in dis tinguished for opulence and talent. The lady holds a post in her Majesty's Household. And also that the Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT, son and heir to the late Earl of PE)I BROKE, by Countess WonoNzow, his second wife, is said to have selected as his bride the lovely daughter of an Eng lish Nobleman, who, with her mother and sister, are among the fairest ornaments of our fashionable circles. By a number of the Bulletini della Associ azine di Corrispondenza Archceologica at Rome, just received, we learn that Mr. JOHN STUART BLACKIE, of Aberdeen, has been elected a corresponding member of the society. A learned paper in the Italian language, by Mr. BLACK'S, iu illustration of an ancient sarcophagus, lately found near the Appian Way, appears in the anaals of the society for 1831. HAYNIARKET THEATRE.—The new drama, entitled A Duel, produced on Monday, was completely and deservedly successful. It is translated from the French ; and so long as translation front the French is the medium of affording us so delightful a treat as that of Monday, we must consider all objection to it as unreasonable as it is fastidious. The whole of the actors exerted fnemselvt s to the utmost of their well-known abilities. The applause was frequent, and the success of the piece most dis tinguished. MR. COOPER'S FORTHCOMING NOVEL.- We are requested to state that Mr. Coorsit's new Novel, " The Heiderunauer, or The Benedictines," will be pub lisped on Saturday next, by Messrs. CoLeuRN and BENTLEY, New Burlington•street. Agents f or S cot l an d, Messrs. BELL and BRADruTE, Edinburgh ; and for Tr, land, Mr. Jour; CUMNIING, Dublin ; to be had also of all respectable booksellers, and a t all the principal libraries throughout the United Kingdom. Orders should b, given immediately to insure early copies of the work. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN is in th e field for Shoreham and the Rape of Bramber. The Learned Gen tleman contested Shoreham in 1826 with Sir CHARLE BURRELL and Mr. HENRY HowAitn, nep h ew to ti . o. Duke of NORFOLK, when Mr. HOWARD gained his elec tion by a majority of two only on the gross poll over the Ex-Solicitor-General. Mr. HowARD, it seems, has de termined to retire, which Sir EnwArtn, in his address to the electors, assigns as his motive for again offering himself. COMMISSION OF LUNACY, JULY 10. MISS BAGSTER'S CASE. At ten o'clock this morning the Commissioners assembled in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. LAW, on resuming his speech to evide nee, proceeded to remark upon the statement of the young lady herself when under examination on Saturday. He was quite certain that her statement, coupled with the will of her grandfather and uncle, would prove to them the real state of the mind of the young lady. The examination of the young lady, it would be recollected, took place in the adjoining room, before the Commissioners and the gentlemen who had been engaged by the respective parties. It would be remembered that she came attended by Mr. Alderman Kelly. It would be recollected that that examination began by the Chief Commissioner ask ing her if she came from Mr. Alderman Kelly's. She said " Yes." The next question was, " I believe you are living with Mr. Alderman Kelly ?" And what was her reply ? She said, " I am a little deaf." Now this solitary remark was in direct opposition to all those witnesses who swore she was not deaf. Who was the best judge, the person herself, or those who were called on to give an opinion ? Dr. Sutherland, on his cross-examination, was the only person who con sidered her to be labouring under the complaint. The next question was, " How long have you been living with Alderman Kelly ?" " I think three months." " Who did you live with before you went to Alderman Kelly ?" " With my mother." " Did you not live with your grandfather, and how long since ?" Her answer was, " I think three years ago." The next question, " Have you lived with him all your life ?" and on the question being changed to a long while, she said, " Yes, as long as I. can remember anything." " When did he live at Hammersmith ?" " I went to the school there. The second school I went to was Miss Price's, and I was a day boarder with that lady." " How long did you stay at Miss Price's ?" " I think it was about a year, and that lady said,if I did not continue at the school, I should not succeed." " You left the house because you could not be constantly under the roof ?" "My grandfather was so terrified that I should be ill, and he, therefore, would not allow me to go." The young lady next informed them that she went to Miss Grindall; and, upon being asked how that lady came to change her name, she said, " I believe it was owing to her marrying a gentleman of fortune." " Did you go to school anywhere else ?" Here was a hesitation; but she afterwards gave a correct answer; she said, " No; I don't think I did." She then immed•ately said, " Oh, yes ! I went to school with Miss Jemmerson at Brook-green-lane. This was a long while ago." She then said, " I had a governess at home. The first, I think, was Miss Edwards, then Miss Sow erby, and then a lady whose name I do not recol lect." The next answer was, "My next governess wr Miss Clayton." " Has she been with you since?" " Yes; four or five years." " Are you fond of Miss C.?" " Yes, I am ; she is very kind to me." " She is with you still ?" " Yes." " Do you recollectgoing a long journey ?" " Yes, Sir, I do." " How long ago is it; do you recollect ?" "No." The young lady here turned round to Mr. Alderman Kelly, "Do you not recollect ?" " Where did you go to on that journey ?" She repeated the word: : and upon being asked, "You do not recollect ? she said, " Yes, I do, and the name of the placeis Springfield." " Where did you go from ?" "The Zoological Gardens." Upon being asked who she went with, she hesitated, and then said she went w - th Miss Clayton and the two Misses Newton. The Commissioner, seeing her agitated, asked her if she liked the gardens ? She replied, " Yes, but 1 like other places better; I like the theatres." And he (Mr. Law) did not believe there was a young lady living within the bills of mortality but preferred the theatre to the Zoological Gardens. She was then asked why she liked to go to a theatre ? She said, " Merely for the sake of fashion." " What do yon go to the theatre for ?" She said, " I always choose out a good piece." " What piece do you like best ?" " I think the last one,and that, gentlemen, was The Hunchback. I do not know why I like it, but there was some king about it which was very much to be liked; there was Miss Kemble; she is a lady ; I do not know the exact part, but she is coming to town so visit the public places." Upon this question being re peated, she added, " And to visit her friends, but I forget their names. I did not remain to see the whole of it." " What was it which amused you the most ?" She said, "I do not remember at this' moment." She was asked at what house it was? " Covent-garden." To another question she said, " I have been to the theatres, most of them ;" and in enumerating the-rn she mentioned Sadler's Wells and the other minor ones. She was asked which she liked best ? She said " Covent-garden, be cause it is the most genteel and fashionable. I like to go to Covent-garden, for all the fashions are there; the winter season, I mean." Now he (Mr. Law) would say that out of 10,000 young ladies not one would give a different answer to what they bad heard if those young ladies spoke the real sen timents of their minds. On reverting to the Zoolo gical Gardens, she said Miss Clayton was one of the party. " Who did you see there ?" " I saw Mr. Laver and Mr. Newton there, and a gentleman whose name I have forgot ?" " Did Mr. Newton say anything to you?" "No ; but his sister said something." " What was it ?" She hesitated, and upon being asked " Did she forget what had been said ?" she replied, " I think she asked me to go and take a ride in her brother's cab, to go and pay a morning visit." " What did you say ? " I have no objection—l don't recollect what I said exactly." " Did you go arid pay the visit ?" " No, Sir, I altered my mind afterwards; I said, No, I would not go.'" Then where did you go when you changed your mind ?" ' 6 You know I went to this place," meaning Springfield " Did you go all the way in the cab ?" " No; I think I went to Camden -town, and then got into another carriage." On being asked how many horses were in the car riage, she said, " I think four." "Did Mr. New ton ask you to go ?" " I said to him that if he would go to Springfield as fast as he could, and would return to Warwick-square as fast as he could, I would have no objection." " When was it you said that ?" Here was a pause, and upon it being repeated, she said, " It was before I got into the carriage—it was iti the cab." " Did you ask how far it was ?" " No; I should think it was '3OO miles, or perhaps more." ' 6 Before you con- sented to go in the way you did to the Zoological Gardens, had you consented to go with Mr. New ton ?" " I have been in the habit of going in to coffee, and I have heard whispers of it, I must say." " Who have you heard whisper ?" " Miss Emma Newton; she asked me if I should like to go; I said if my mamma heard about it she would not like it." Mr. Law concluded by observing that a false representation of the real state of the young lady's mind had been made, and he had no hesitation in leaving the case of that unfortunate young lady in their hands, when they recollected her closing her examivation by saying, " I was happy until when taken from my husband, and then became wretched." Upon being informed that the defendant had closed his case, and that he did not intend to call any witnesses, The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, in that case they (the Court) would call the medical gentlemen, Drs. Roots, Haslam, and Morrison ; also the two Miss Newtons, and others whose names had been men tioned in the course of the inquiry. The proceedings were then adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow, when it is expected that the whole of the evidence will be gone through, and that the inquiry will, except the finding of the verdict, terminate in the evening. The expenses of this inquiry, we understand, already amount to about 5,0001. The following persons are in the field as can didates for the districts of Marylebone, Pancras, and Pad dington :—Mr. PORTMAN, Sir WILLIAM HORNE, Sir SAMUEL WHALEY, Mr. SAVAGE, Mr. MURPHY, and Colonel JONES.

His MAJESTY arrived in town this afternoon at half-past one o'clock, and shortly after held a Levee. The Recorder made his report to the KING in Council, of- all the prisoners in New gate under sentence of death, condemned at the May Sessions. Mr. STANLEY mentioned last night in the House of Commons, in regard to the Irish Tithes Bill, that whatever his original intention may have been, he found that it was impossible to press the entire measure this session. But the first Bill, the Right Hon. Gentleman ob• served, the House was pledged to,—that which made the Tithe Composition Act permanent and compulsory. After some desultory discussion, the debate was adjourned to Friday next. In the House of Lords, the whole of the clauses and schedules in the Scotch Reform Bill were agreed to, and the report ordered to be brought up on Thursday. The Ecclesiastical Contempts Bill was read a third time and passed. We were informed this morning that, in con• sequence of the cholera morbus raging so dread fully at York, it has been arranged that the Northern Circuit shall commence at Durham, and terminate at York. The Dublin Weekly Freeman's Journal of Saturday contains a letter from Dr. DOYLE to Mr. STANLEY, on the subject of a passage in the report of the Select Tithe Committee, which the Bishop of KILDARE asserts is wholly at variance with that portion of his evidence on which the statement is founded, and which is to the following effect :—" But the question (of the division of the ecclesiastical revenue, says the report) is of the less importance, as those who contend most earnestly for its past exist ence admit that it had fallen into general disuse in the course of thelsth and 16th century, and that the appropriation of tithe in its present form has been sanctioned by the prescription," &c.— On this passage Dr. DOYLE observes— " Hitherto the report mentioned the division of the ecclesiastical revenues—it laboured to cast d u e siv, in the place of that d ou b t f u l divipoi division n upon that a n t l igh t be,the revenues division—itthem kept careful!) out of view the incontrovertible truth, that , what selves were the patrimony of the p oor, the sti pend of the clergy and the e x p enses of tht church being first deducted ; but now this re port proceeds to assure us t hat the doubt affect ing the division is o f no . importance, where as f tithe in its present form, the appropriation o that is, to the exclusive use and benefit of the clergy, is sa nctioned b y the p rescri p tion of th ree i as a the matter of attention doubt o l . and Parliament uncer tainty introduces, centu ries. This then is the fallacy, that the re port, whilst it exhibits the four-fold or three fold what evervii detoutddhbe ittisiof undeserving sion, the appropriation of tithe in its presen' form. Thus the mind of the reader is led to compare the appropriation of tithe it its present form,'--not with the ancient and undoubted appropriation of them— but with the four. fold or three-fold division by which that ancient appropriation was carried into effect. The effect of this sophism upon the mind would be, to transfer the doubt which is cast upon the ancient mode of dividing the tithes to the very appropriation itself of them, and to lead men to believe that the present application of them to the exclusive use of the parsons, is the only matter of certainty which can be ascer tained in their regard. Thus, what the evi dence demonstrates, that Ecclesiastical Reve nues, including Tithes, are the patrimony of the poor, conjointly with the Clergy,' is kept alto gether out of view, whilst the compiler of the report exerts his ingenuity to contrast the fixed ness of the present invasion or spoliation of Church Property by the Clergy, with the alleged uncertainty of the ancient znede of dividing that property. A Parliamentary Report ought not to be liable to this charge, or to the sus picion of having suppressed, to serve a pur pose, a most important truth." Dr. DOYLE then proceeds to investigate, in a keen and searching spirit, the origin of the claims of the Protestant Clergy to the monopoly of tithes in Ireland. He proves incontestably, that even on the plea of " prescription" they have no valid title to this monopoly, for that it was founded on aggression and usurpation. The Church revenues in Ireland, says the Learned Prelate, " were consigned by our pious ances tors to the maintenance of religion and the sup port of the poor." How religion has been maintained by this revenue, in accordance with the intention of the founders, no one acquainted with the past and present state of Ireland need inquire ; how the poor have been maintained, it is equally superfluous to inquire, when the damn ing fact stares us daily in the face, that the most fruitful country in Europe, abounding in the richest soil, the most commodious harbours, the noblest rivers, is cursed with a degraded and im poverished peasantry, hundreds of whom annually fall victims to fevers, solely brought on by starva tion, while an alien priesthood, whose tenets the majority of the Irish population hold in abhor rence, live in the most extravagant degree of splendour, and make themselves known through out Ireland solely by their exactions and per secutions. Dr. DOYLE closes his letter by an exposure of Mr. STANLEY'S gross misgovernment as Irish Secretary. He shows that though he professes the liberal principle of doing justice to both parties, he renders himself obnoxious to the Catholic, without in the slightest degree conciliating the Orangeman. g‘ And this error," concludes Dr. DOYLE, Mr. STANLEY commits, because, like all his predecessors in office, he " considers Ireland as in a great degree a Protestant country, and con founds her Protestantism with the creed and profession of the established church." Therg is infinite truth and sagacity in this remark. By the Echo steamer, we have received Lis bon Gazettes of the 2d and 3d instant.
