Vottup. A PORTRAIT WITHOUT PAINT. Painter, paint me, if you can, Ireland's sturdy beggarman. You shall paint him as I tell ye— With a round and portly belly ; Brownish wig, well oil'd and curly, On his nob, so big and burly ; Let his bronzy eye-brcws pass O'er a forehead gilt with brass; And his eyes, as blue as lead, Peep through rims of fiery red ; With th' exrresion of the ox, Mingle well the traits of fox— So that if their staring fulness Indicate the bullock's dulness, Yet their twinkling way of running May develop Reynaid's cunning. Let his mug be plump and jolly, Fat with roguery more than folly; Stretch the mouth from ear to ear, Grinning with a devilish sneer; Paint the nostrils cocked and spacious— Snuffing round and round—" sagacious Of the quarry" near at hand— That's " his own—his native land !" And to fit expression's due On each lineament and true, Let the visage emulate a Prating lump of a potato. Then, in vesture of his clan, Rig me this Bull-Beggarman. On his back's prodigious mould Be the blanket strapped and rolled. From each shoulder sling a sack, Crammed till one would swear 'twould crack. Hung behind, on either hip, Here a wallet, there a scrip. - From his neck be hung, before, Satchels, half a dozen or more ; One for meal—and one for salt— This to hold the tax on malt — That for pocketing " the rent," . The others for the poll-tax meant. And (if not forbid by dirt) Put a pocket in his shirt. Paint him with his hat in hand, Stationed on his begging stand ; Wheedling—blustering—bullying—coaxing— Swaggering sometimes—always hoaxing— Craving now with gestures dumb— Thundering then his " Fee—faw—fum !" " Money—money—fill my purse ! Do—or for you 'twill be worse !" Then, as some half-starving Pat Drops a halfpenny in the hat, Let the cock'd ears catch the tinkle, Give the eyes a knowing twinkle, And the nose a sidelong tweak, While the tongue distends the cheek. — Simple reader, if you can, Shun this great Bull-Beggarman. THE PROPERTY OF THE CHURCH. 1. Only about two-thirds of the land in England and Wales are titheable. 2. Laymen have two-thirds of the whole of the tithes, 3. The whole tithe paid to the Clergy, when wheat was X 3 18s 2d per quarter, amounted to £1,426,527 18s or less than a million and a half. 4. If the tithes were equally divided, each parish clerg man would have—acccrding to the present price of wheat £lso a-year. 5. There are in Englard ar • 176 livir 736 1315 1963 —.30 a-year. 50 80 100 1. e. 4190 under £l6O a-year. There are not thirty worth £2OOO a-year. 6. There are 4809 where there is no house for the clergy man, and of these 3080 are under £l5O a-year. Can the clergyman build a house when he does not receive £l5O a-year from the living? All the houses are kept in repair by the clergyman. At this very time £220,000 have been borrowed by clergymen to build or rebuild parsonage-houses. 7. The fee to the clergy in country parishes vary from £3 to £7 on every 1000 persons of population. Most of the fees do not go to the clergy : but are given to clerks and other officers. .8. Only 1I bishoprics pay their expenses! and from three of these the subscriptions they are obliged to pay are £3OOO a-year each. 9. If the income of the parochial clergy and of the bishops, and the cathedral property were equally divided among the parochial clergy, it would barely give £2OO to each, and out of this they would_ have to pay curates ii larger parishes. These facts, be it observed, were drawn rrom documents laid before parliament. So now let us hear no more of the enormous wealth of the church, which has been fully proved to be very ill-paid on the whole. The duty annually paid into the exchequer on account of tobacco and snuff, exceeds the whole cost of the church establishment !!! Let those who say the revenues of the church amount to five or six millions, bring forward proof from documents equally authentic as those from which the foregoing state ment was extracted, and not from the speeches of dema gogues. Then again with respect to the persons who contribute most to the support of this church—Who are they ? The poor ? Nay, verily—they pay little or nothing. The far mers are the principal payers of tithe. And what would these be the better, supposing that the tithe was abolished? Literally nothing—and this because their landlords would immediately raise their rents. A farm is now let at 30s per per acre, and the tithe is 4s. Do away with the tithe, and will not the landlord demand the whole 345? Certainly he will, supposing it to be fairly let at this mument at 30s, while subject to 4s. tithes. Thus the only persons benefitted by the abolition of tithe, would be neither better nor worse for the change, In fact, tithe comes out of the pockets of the landlords. The farmer is merely paying to the clergy what he would otherwise have to pay the gentry. Tithe-free land always rents higher than any other. It has been said that the clergy ought to support the poor as their predecessors did. But it must be observed, that since then four-fifths of the property of the church have been forcibly taken from her. Restore her these, and then fik* will support the poor. THEORY OF EARTHQUAKES. As several shocks of earthquake have been lately felt in the southern districts of this kingdom, we offer no apology for the introduction of the following observations of Dr. Stuckley. The doctor rejects the various hypotheses which had been previously advanced, and grounds the following conclusions on the phenomena which accompanied the great earthquake of 1749. • In that year, the doctor began to sus pect that earthquakes ought to be attributed, not to vapours or fermentations generally in the bowels of the earth, but solely to electricity, for the following reasons, which, if we may venture an opinion on the subject, we think are con clusive :- 4 'l, That there is no evidence of any remarkable caver nous structure of the earth ; but that, on the contrary, there is rather reason to presume that it is in a great measure solid, so as to leave little room for internal changes and fer mentations within its substance; nor do coal-pits, he says, when on fire, ever produce anything resembling an earth quake. " 2. In the earthquake at London, in March 1749, there was no such thing as fire, vapour, smoke, smell, or an erup tion of any kind observed, though the shock affected a cir cuit of 30 miles in diameter. This consideration alone of the extent of surface shaken by an earthquake, he thought sufficient to overthrow the supposition of its being owing to the expansion of any subterraneous vapours. For as small fire-balls bursting in the air propagate a sulpherous smell to the distance of several miles, it cannot be supposed, that so immense a force acting instantaneously on that compass of ground should never break the surface of it, nor become dis coverable either to the sight or the smell: besides, that the operation of such a fermentation would be many days in con tinuance, and the evaporation of so much infflammable matter would require a long space of time. "3. If vapours and subterraneous fermentations, ex plosions and eruptions, were the cause of earthquakes, they would absolutely ruin the whole system of springs and foun tains, wherever they had once been ; which is contrary to fact, even when they have been frequently repeated. Even in the eartkquake in Asia Minor, A.D. 17, which destroyed 13 great cities, and shook a mass of earth 300 miles in diameter, nothing suffered hut the cities ; neither the springs nor the face of the country being injured. " 4. That any subterraneous power sufficient to move 30 miles in diameter, as in the earthquake which happened at London, must be lodged at least 15 or 20 miles below the surface ; and therefore must it an inverted cone of solid earth, the base of which i•. ..s in diameter, and the axis 15 to 20, an effect imps r , natural power whatever, except electricity. Sc. zona Minor, such a cone must have been 300 miles in the diameter of the base, and 200 in the axis ; which not al! th g . ..npowder that has been made since the invention of it, much less any vapours generated so far below the surface, could possibly effect. " 5. A subterraneous explosion will not account for the manner in which ships, far from land, are affected during an earthquake ; which seem as if they struck upon a rock, or as if something thumped against their bottoms. Even the fishes are affected. " From comparing these circumstances, the Doctor says, he had always thought that an earthquake was a shock of the same kind as those which commonly occur in electrical ex periments. And this hypothesis was confirmed by the phe nomena attending earthquakes ; particularly those of 1719 and 1750, which gave rise to his publication. The weather, for five or six months before, had been uncommonly warm ; the wind south and south-west, without rain ; so that the earth mnsfhave been in a state peculiarly ready for an elec trical shock. " Beforethe earthquake at London, all vegetab'es had been uncommonly forward. And electricity is well known to quicken vegetation. The aurora borealis had been fre quent about that time; and just before the earthquake, had been twice repeated in such colours as had never been seen bell:n.l. It had also removed southerly, contrary to what is common in Etgland; so that the Italians and those among whom earthquakes were frequent, actually foretold the earth quake. The year had been remarkable for fire-balls, and corriscations, and these are rightly judged to be meteors of an electrical nature. " in teese circumstances of the earth and air, nothing, he says, is wanting to produce an earthquake but the touch of some non-electric body; which must necessarily be had ab extra from the region of the air, or atmosphere, Hence he infers, that if a non-electric cloud discharge its contents upon any part of the earth, in that highly electrical state, an earthquake must necessarily ensue. " The Doctor had been informed by those who were up and abroad the night preceding the earthquake, and early in the morning, that corruscations in the air were extremely frequent ; and that a little before the earthquake, a large and black cloud suddenly covered the atmosphere, which proba bly occasioned the shock by the discharge of a shower. A sound was observed to roll from the Thames towards Temple Bar before the houses ceased to nod. just as the electrical snap precedes the shock. This noise (which generally pre cede, earthquakes) the Doctor thought could be accounted for only on electrical principles ; for in a subterraneous erup tion, the direct contrary would happen. " The flames and sulphureous smells, which are some times observed in earthquakes, might, he thought, be more easily accounted for, on the supposition of their being elec trical phenomena, than from their being eruptions from the bowels of the earth. So also the suddenness and expedition of the concussion, it being felt at the same instant over such a large surface. The circumstance of earthquakes chiefly affecting the sea-coasts, places along rivers (and, adds Doc tor Priestley, eminences), is a farther argument of their being electrical phenomena. " The List argument he uses is taken from the effects which it had on persons of weak constitutions, who were, for a day or two after it happened, troubled with pains in the back; rheumatisms, hysterics, and nervous disorders; just in the same manner as they would have been after an actual electrification; . to some these disorders proved fatal."— Merlin. The borough of Birmingham is restored to a state of per fect tranquility, and the whole of the London police have returned to town, TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. I beg leave very respectfully to lay before the public of England some remark on an address lately presented to them by Daniel O'Connell, Esq. M. P., and extensively circulated. I think it deserves an answer. I know no more proper form into which to throw one, than into that of a counter address to the same people. Were it not for the character of the document, I should feel that a very ample apology were de manded of me for presuming to take upon myself the liberty of replying to it. But seems to me that when an Irish lawyer, however distinguished, has ventured to address Eng lishmen on the subject of theolcgy, an Irish divine may fairly expect to be excused in taking up the subject after him, in an important point, with peculiar materials for so doing. You agree with me, that it is very amusing to notice in " the address" the self-complacency with which the learned gentleman takes credit to himself for calm, cool, and deli berate investigation, into the nature of the tenets," He calls upon the most thinking people in the world, to think — to ponder—to reflect,—",You can be easily too little cautious," says he, " you cannot possibly be over cautious on such a subject ;" implying, of course, that this thinking faculty had been called into the most active exercise in his yarticu lar case, and yet immediately after he lays down a dogma which nullifies his exhortations, or at least shews that reflec tion were utterly useless in his circumstances ; that however forcible its suggestion, however weighty its conclusions, they must be unavailing, inasmuch as his system demands—" an entire submission, in spiritual matters, to the Church." I know that you, in England, will laugh at the inconsistency, and pronounce it an evidence of simple Hibernianism. Be lieve me, the blunder has a cause more serious than the ac cident of birth. Mr. O'Connell a preacher of reflection to Englishmen ! Good—very good indeed. Would that Mr. O'Connell had had the opportunity that I have had of going through the cottages of a considerable portion of England, and of noting for himself the energy of intellectual inquiry that every where abounds—of noticing the fine common sense that is almost universally prevalent—the accuracy of views on every moral subject, and thence the spirit of wisdom and inde pendence, of knowledge and power, which has made your country the foremost In the world, -" the head of the na tions, and not the tail," and that having obtained for himself this experimental information, he had come back to Ireland, our unhappy land, and marked, noted, and reflected on the ignorance —the infatuation—the total prostration of the un derstanding—the darkness that may be felt which paralyses the faculties of Irishmen—of Irishmen just as much educa ted, as far as letters are concerned, as the same class in Eng land is, but instead of the Bible we study " the Scapular"— instead of the History of Christ and his Apostles, those of St. Mary of Egypt, St. Bridget, St. Columkill, &c.—saints " Who never yet had being, or being, ne'er were saints." —these occupy our attention, and form our minds ; the result is, that if you take our Irish upon any subject of interest in volving an acquaintance with :the relations of man to man, or of men to society, you find a total blank, " And wisdom at each entrance quite shut out." While, instead thereof, you hear of the supernatural power of the priest—how he can lay the devil—and how he could fasten you to the ground—how he never marries—and how he brings down God upon the altar before your eyes ;—you hear of amulets, and charms, and holy rings ; of gospel re lics, and other marvels, until the heart bleeds for the wretched dupe of apostacy and priestcratt ; and you feel yourself com pelled to exclaim—Adieu to happiness for Ireland until this system be eradicated from it ! And now allow me to tell you what it is which Mr. O'Con nell means by " calm, cool, and deliberate investigation into the nature of the tenets in which the Roman Catholics really believe; and into the arguments and the authority upon which these tenets are received by them, as of faith." He means by this that you should shut your eyes to the plain practical results of this sys em ; and that, instead of looking at these, you should sit down and read the augmentations of priests, to prove that these practical results have no existence in life —or else that they are the most innocent peculiarities in the world. You have heard perhaps of the complaint made by the Irish Whiteboy, when he could not prevail on an ac quaintance to go out with him and shoot a land agent—" The fool," said he, "he wont listen to reason." Mr. O'Connell wants you to " listen to reason." He wants you, instead of instantly deciding according to the dictates of Scripture. to stop short, and sit down with him, and " listen to reason ;" —for instance, in almost every Roman Catholic book of de votion you will find ten prapers to the Virgin Mary and the saints, for one to God. Prayers conceived in this spirit : " Queen of heaven and earth ! mother of God ! my sove r ign mistress ! I present myself before you, as a poor men dicant before a mighty Queen. From the height of your throne deign to cast your eyes on a miserable sinner, and lose not sight of him, till you render him truly holy."—Glo ries of Mary, by St. Alphonsus Liguori. The mind of the Christian at once revolts—he sees that the thing is gross idolatry—that it makes a Goddess of the per son addressed. None of the Gentiles went further in their paganism, for none of them conjectured that their ordinary gods and goddesses were equal in dignity to the Great Su preme. I say Christian sense at once revolts from it, and pronounces it idolatry. " Hold your tongue," Mr. O'Con nell will say, " come now and listen to reason, attend to my theory on the subject—let me explain to you my views." — and he will then begin, and talk of Latria and Didia ; he will argue, syllogyze, and sophistoc.ate ; he will involve you in a maze of words, terms and distinctions, until, unless you be gifted with considerable strength of mind, you will begin to think that it is midnight at noon day, or that dead and lifeless matter is invested with life, power, and intelligence—and all this just by beginning to " listen to reason." The man who in the business of common life would act as Mr. O'Connell and the Roman Catholic priests would wish you to act on the subject of religion, would soon become the prey of rogues and swindlers, and have nothing for his family but destitution and misery. Beware then of abandoning the bright efful gence of Scriptural sense, for the mist of captious logic. This learned gentleman seems very anxious to persuade you to take your ideas of what Roman Catholics " really believe" from his own statements, and from those of the speakers at the " great meeting" in London, of which he has published an account. And he talks in a strain of high' indignation against persons, "deluders or 'deluded," who attribute to Roman Catholics errors and abominations which they "really abjure." Now we mulct not hesitate to tell Mr. O'Connell plainly that this request on his part is perfectly unreasonable. No, we will continue to learn what Popery is, not from the Protestantized statements of eloquent and learned gentlemen, but from documents—mind that, from documents—littera Scripta monet—we do not care for their speeches—our judg ment will be formed from documents certainly, the true cha racter of which, we are just as capable of understanding as they are themselves. Mr. O'Connell may say, " I abhor idolatry—the man that makes the Virgin Mary a Goddess let him be anathema." He may talk thus as much as he likes, but we tell him that notwithstanding ) he is, with his church, guilty of the charge. We sit as jurymen in judgment on the case. The subject matter in evidence is certain prayers, praises, and thanksgivings ; from these we form our judg ment, on these we decide and bring in our verdict of guilty. The prisoner at the bar may attempt to explain matters— may talk of his motives, his intentions and views, and all that sort of thing. But I would beg to ask Mr. O'Connell him self, would not the attempt to arrest judgment by such ex planations be pronounced in any court of judicature just tri fling and absurdity? What criminal would be punished if the law had to wait for a confession of guilt ? What heretic be denounced as such, if the church were compelled to rest its decision on an admission of heterodoxy ? No, Mr. O'Con nell, notwithstanding all their reclamations, Roman Catho lics are just, as our Church declares, truly idolaters. I feel convinced that you will be very much built up in the faith when you seriously reflect upon Mr. O'Connell's method of endeavouring to shake you in it. " Professor Philips" says he " late of Berlin, has become a Roman Ca tholic, and so has Professor Stolberg, and so has Professor Schlegel, and so has the celebrated Adam Miller,' and so have a great number of Dutch, Germans, and Americans; then look at England, every where [Roman] Catholic churches are rising around us—look to Scotland and similar scenes will crowd upon your eye. Austin was a saint, Henry the. Eighth was a tyrant—and Cranmer, a flagrant criminal' " reflect upon these matters, exclaims the learned gentleman. Alas, how I do feel for him, under the scorn that he will be visited with by free-born Englishmen—En glishmen, who, in the concerns of their immortal souls, call no man master upon earth—Englishmen who set their foot on the Rock of the Word of the Almighty, derive their creed from thence, and would stand for that creed each of them alone, if need were, against the world. Professor Schlegel thinks this, and Professor Stolberg thinks the other—and Dutchmen, Germans, and Americans, are becoming Papists. Well, what is that to Englishmen? What is that to Chris tian Protestants ? Do Englishmen form the train of Pro fessor Stolberg and the Americans ?—can their proceedings alter the doctrines of God's Holy Word ?—or have Protes- :ants derived their faith from, or set the seal of their appro bation to, the opinions or practices of Henry the Eighth or Cranmer ?—or because " the celebrated Adam Miller" has become a Papist, must I fall down and worship the Roman mendicant who was so very self-denying, that he would not, while living, free himself from the " bites of disagreeable insects, and whose dead body wrought innumerable miracles," in the sight of Popes and Cardinals ?—( see th e Life of Be nedict Joseph Labre)—or offer up my prayers to the Romish saint who made an exhibition of himself for so many years on the top of a pillar, with a chain round his middle ; or believe that St. Francis walked three miles, more or less, with his head under his arm—l say am Ito believe all this, or have respect unto it, because certain " philosophers " have turned Roman Catholics ?—for this is just the true gist of Mr. O'Connell's statement—the true bearing of his " facts." But, then, Roman Catholic chapels are rising up in Eng land and Scotland. Well, and who are the worshippers in them ? Why, just immigrant Irish; whose temporal condi tion, whether considered physically or morally, will be pro nounced by all Englishmen the best possible antidote to the sy.;tem preached up in their places of worship. Therewill be found in every town in England in which there is a Roman Catholic chapel, a Roman Catholic district also, that is to say, an Irish district, such as New-treet and Ship-yard, in Sheffield ; the Bank, I think they call it, in Leeds ; and so on in the other great towns. These districts are inhabited by Irish papists, and they constitute universally, sinks of wretchedness, filth, and demoralization. Herein rogues and blacklegs find their resting place and harbourage—cursing, swearing, and ribaldry—fighting, drinking, and card-playing, occupy the inhabitants during their leisure hours, but espe cially en the Sabbath days; except the short time they spend in " hearing Mass ;" while the region itself, just as the plague or the pestilence would be, is shunned by decent people. In effect these popish districts constitute the St. Giles's of English provincial towns—there is a St. Giles in every such great town—and are infamous for all the attributes of that well known locality. I speak from diligent pastoral ex ertions in one of these places, and from extensive inquiry in respect to most of them. Now, is the misery of the popi s h Irish - in England to be attributed to distress ? No ; perhaps they almost always find constant employment and liberal wages. Their misery is to be attributed to the system that degrades them as intelligent beings, and which, if it prevailed over England, would very soon produce an assimilation be tween it and Ireland —similar principles ever producing analogous statistical results. An interesting illustration of this is found in the condition of the North of Ireland, which is almost altogether protestant, and in the unquestionable fact, that when the poor Irish cease to be papists, they cease also to be chargeable with the habits that I speak of—they become the most admirable of men and of citizens—protes tantism invariably raising them in the scale of humanity. Observe then, Englishmen, how plain a tale puts down Mr. O'Connell's vaunts, with respect to the increase of Roman Catholic chapels in England. When they have worshippers, the generality of them are Irish, while no few of them, as is notorious, have been bat for the mere purpose of attracting congregations.* Englishmen ! reflect upon these facts ; reflect upon the mental degradation that is in general nationally connected with Popery —upon the source of the liberty and civilization that exalt your country—upon the total variance that exists between the spirit of Popery and of God's holy word, and you will be convneed that it is your first duty, not merely to exert all your power, to prevent the spread of falsehood and error within your own borders, but to diminish their amount within ours. I can scarce help pronouncing it a piece of dishonesty on the part of Mr. O'Connell, his calling the church of which he is a member all through his address, the Catholic church." He must know very well, that according to the laws of the land, as to truth also, our Church is designated by that title. He must know well that when in the creed we profess to be lieve the Catholic church, we do not mean the Church of Rome, but quite the contrary. That we mean thereby the * Since I wrote this letter I have seen the very excellent remarks of the Morning Chronicle on the same subject. Surely, however, Mr. O'Connell mat well exclaim of that journal, et to Brute!—as also those of the Watchman, Morning Herald, Bcc.

The Apostate Church was to obtain power over "peo ples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues," and to glory in universal sway. (Rev. xvii. 15.) I can scarcely estimate the amount of scepticism that can hesitate to identify Popery and its kindred evils with the apostacy foretold in Scripture. I am sure the people of Eng land will agree with me that it would be really very well, on a subject of such vast importance, that Mr. O'Connell should take his own advice—" What we wish for is calm, cool, and deliberate investigation into the nature of the tenets in which Protestants really believe." " The matter in question is of the most vital importance ; it relates to the truth of God, and it involves an eternity of suffering or happiness." Two words more.- 1. " Protestantism has lost all expansive power " ! And that "since 100 years after the reformation " ! ! It is quite plain that Mr, O'Connell must, without the su perfluous labour of enquiring into their truth at all, take up his facts as he does his principles " from an entire submission to the authority of his church." Why, Protestants have con verted more nations to the faith since the Reformation than Popery has converted to its superstition ever since the time of Austin ! Popish missionaries have been men of blood—knights and crusaders— " The Cross their banner and their faith the sword." Popery has driven all the East into the Socinian Apostacy of Mahomed—Popery has hardened the heart of the Jews—but for Popery Paganism would now be known only through his tory. Greenland, Labrador, New Zealand, the South Sea Islands, Australia in general, numberless tribes in India, Africa, and America, have flung ther idols to the " moles and to the bats" by the preaching of our missionaries—of the missionaries of different Protestant sects—have been raised thereby from the miseries of savage life to the enjoyment of knowledge and civilisation. Protestantism has translated the Bible into hundreds of languages. To Protestantism, for Mr. O'Connell's particular informa tion, we owe the Bible in th e I r ish l ang u ag e, an d th ere f ore , to Protestantism, the ultimate preservation of that language itself. 2. Mr. O'Connell has displayed a degree of credulity as to the characters of Austin, Henry, and Cranmer, that any child in any Sunday school in England would immoderately laugh at. Austin the apostle of Britain ! Austin " meek and wise !" Pray, sir, be so good as to thiow your eye over " Rapin," Ist vol., and learn the true character of A us ti n , and the period of the planting of the faith in England. Charles the 11. was a greater profligate, and James the 11. a greater tyrant and profligate combined than ever Henry the VIII. was. The truth is, Mr. O'Connell would be at this moment himself on his knees to Henry the VIII., as the very brightest of the saints, had his violence only been exercised in building up that church which he pulled down. Still we allow that Henry was a tyrant. He was, however, no Protestant. He was not by any means, either, so bad a tyrant as numerous others, Popes and Popish kings unblamed by Mr. O'Connell. And then, as to Crantuer--when we consider the ravening wolves in the midst of whom Cranmer lived, and the bloody mindedness with which Popery had infected the times we can only magnify the providence of God that so long saved him from his numerous enemies. Poor Cranmer !—admirable Cranmer !—venerable Cranmer ! Would that Mr. O'Connell would make an acquaintance of him by the reading of his writings. This at least were becoming before he indulged in calumnies against his memory. Surely, after roasting him at a fire in Smithfield, he should let his ashes rest in peace. One would think that Rome had had expiation enough of Cranmer! I hope that some one else may, with more ability, reply to Mr. O'Connell's address ; in the meantime let me subscribe myself, Your faithful tervant in Christ, T. D.

KNICKERBOCKER ICE. — The Knickerbocker ice, used very extensively in various parts of the world, in which the pro visions of all the British steam-ships plying between England and America are packed, is taken from a small lake, situate about thirty-five miles north of the city of New York, called Rockland Lake, from the county in which it is located. The lake covers about_pne thousand acres, and is formed entirely by springs of the purest quality, which renders the ice beau tifully clear and transparent beyond description. The lake is situate upon the top cf a mountain, about two hundred and fifty feet above level of the Hudson river. The projector of the Knickerbocker ice business from that lake. upon a large scale, is Mr. William Hutchinson, who, by various experi ments and improvements, has succeeded in enabling the British steam-ships not only to carry out this luxury with them from New York, but to carry it back with them again each voyage. The lake abounds with various kinds of fish, and when the communication between the two countries is perfected by the extension of steam navigation, those who now enjoy the luxury of the Knickerbocker ice on the voyage across the Atlantic, and discuss its merits, will be enabled weekly to visit the place of its nativity, and to inspect the modes operandi of its manufacture, preservation, &c. The proprietors are Messrs. J. D. Ascough and Co., of whom Mr. H. is one, and to him are our fine packets indebted for the high state of perfection to which he has brought the art of preserving the Knickerbocker ice. We hope in future to be able to give a fuller account of this novel business. To THOSE WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.—We think a most instructive work might be written on the pretensions of modern radicals and dissenters to liberality, and the palpable contradictions of all their professions which their practice exhibits. They raise a loud outcry at the oppression which they falsely assert tories exercise—accuse them of exclusive dealing, and call them bigotted churchmen—but wisely avoid attempting to prove one of their accusations. An utter abhorrence of such courses we must surely find among these furious denouncers of " bigotry" and " exclusive dealing !" Alas ! no. Give them the power to show their partiality ; and whether a gentleman is to be appointed to the magistracy, or a crier to a corporate town ; a secretary to a board of charity trustees, or the recipient of a five shilling gift ; or in fact any the most trifling patronage to be bestowed, we invariably find that the party politics of the parties interested in their decision is as certain to influence their award as if the name, of liberal was but a cloak to the most bitter and unmitigated liberality. So strong, indeed, is the feeling with some of the most active of these men, that they appear utterly to disregard the prosperity of causes they affect to be zealous to promote, and even forget themselves so far as to put forward scriptural quotations recommending universal philanthropy, while they act contrary to its spirit. Verbum sat.—Bristol Standard. . primitive and the reformed church, and that, therefore, it be• came him to give as his denomination "Roman Catholic," in order that he might be thus distinguished from the members of the English Catholic Church, or the Irish Catholic Church. He ought to know that our church has the old succession, and that the offshoots of the Popish church, which exist in Ireland 'or England, are only of some few )ears' growth. Surely Mr. O'Connell must have known all this. Common honesty then ought to have compelled him to modify his lan guage accordingly. Allow me to conclude this address' in somelhing of the fashion of that to which it is as an answer, by giving a distinct enumeration not of particulars respecting the character and doings of men, good or bad, but of truths derived from God's holy word, and having an intimate connection with the ques tion before us. Ist. It was foretold by Christ and his Apostles, and by al most all the Prophets, that the visible Christian church should be awfully corrupted, and brought into a state of all but uni versal apostasy for a long series of years. 2ndly, The Church of Rome was foretold as about to be at 'the head of that apostasy, under the name of Babylon. 3dly, It was foretold that God would call his faithful people out of the midst of that apostasy. 4thly, By the grace of God, and in the employment of some of the most extraordinary instruments, it pleased God to lead out of the apostasy, into the profession of Primitive truth, the united churches of England and Ireland. sthly, The devil, the adversary of God and man, and the father of lies, is the source of all the errors which corrupt the part of the church that is apostate ; he, therefore, may be called its head. 6thly, This apostasy will be consumed by the immediate vengeance of the Most High—by the brightness of the com ing of the Lord. 7thly, Previously to its destruction, the Lord will by the ministers of His most holy church, arouse the attention of mankind to these truths, in order that all either virtually or professedly connected with the Apostasy may be warned to flee from it ; and yet, notwithstanding these warnings, multi tudes of the reprobate will attach themselves to it—so that a great and striking increase of the evil will, upon the whole, appear. Bthly, God has, in His holy Word, given us a series of marks whereby to discern the identity of the Apostasy so as that all mistake on the subject may be prevented. The fol lowing are only a few of them :- 1. It was to speak lies in hypocrisy.-1 Tim., iv. Such, for example, as that a saint, when a child at the breast, used to abstain from sucking on Wednesdays and Fridays.—See Breviary, 6th Dec. 2. It was to forbid marriage. -1 Tim., iv. 3. It was to command to abstain from meats.—.s. 4. It was to renew the Gentile demonology, or doctrines concerning the worship of dead men or saints.—lb. 5. At the head of the Apostasy there 'was to be " a Man of Sin," opposing and exalting himself ab - ove all that is called God or that is worshipped, 2 Thes. ii. As the Pope on certain days is placed on the high altar of St. Peter's above the tabernacle which contains the host, " called" God. G. This Man of Sin was to sit in the temple of God, — that is to occupy the Church of God.—M. 7. The Apostate Church was to be drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of, Jesus. — Rev. xvii. 8. Was to deny the right of burial to those who protest against her—Rev. xi. 9—as she commanded the body of Wickliffe and others to be exhumed. 9. Was to accomplish her purposes through the instru mentality of exclusive dealing, allowing no man to buy or sell but her partisans. —Rev. xiii. Was to have a seat at Rome.—Rev. xvii. 18. 11. Had a peculiar name, number, and mark, the nume rical letters in the name of making up the number, and the number was 666. APOSTATE, in Greek apostatees, makes 666.

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATORS AND THE MANCHESTER ELECTION. (Prom the Leeds Intelligencer.) The anti-corn-law agitators are endeavouring to persuade persons at a distance from the scene of action, that Sir George Murray's defeat at the late election for Manchester was the consequence of his refusal to give a pledge on the subject of the corn-laws. It would appear from this, supposing it to be a true account of the matter, that ministers and their policy were completely thrown overboard ; that their friends did not dare to appeal to the constituency of Manchester for sup port on that ground ; to the very constituency which on all previous elections had been called upon to support Mr. Pou lett Thomson chiefly because he was a member of the Mel bourne administration ! If the anti-corn-law people be right, ministers may no longer reckon upon the support of the elec tors of Manchester. Their " liberal" principles—their "con ciliatory" policy—their disinterestedness—their self-denial —patriotism—all are forgotten, and a determined and clever opponent would have been returned, if he would have but yielded a little more to the " squeezing" process by which it was intended to influence his vote on the corn-law question. There is not, however, the slightest foundation for the state ment of the agitators. It is true they have errleavoured to obtain a pledge from Sir George Murray as to the extent of protection he was willing to afford to the agricultural interest in the shape of a fixed duty ; but he refused to go to parlia ment fettered by a pledge. He is too prudent a man to al low himself to be caught by such a snare. He knows too well the duty of a member of parliament to go there with his hands tied up, and without the power of deviating from the course prescribed to him. The agitators say that in the pro ceedings at the hustings, in which he was required to give ex planations to his opponents, he was completely " squabashed" (that is the word) by them. Now it appears from the Man chester journals that the very people who 'were witnesses to the questions and explanations asked and given, declared, by a show of hands, that they preferred the right honourable and gallant general to either of his opponents. Nay, further, on the second day, when, as we are informed by the same vera cious authority, Sir George was more " worried" than on the previous one—when he was " literally pinned to the earth" by his adversaries—the show of hands in his favour was even greater than on the preceeding day ! So much for the effect produced upon hearers of the explanations which we are gravely informed prevented the right honourable gentleman's election ! But the truth is, Sir George M ur r a y' s v i ews re specting trade generally, and of the trade in corn particularly, gave entire satisfaction to the great body of the Manchester constituency. If he erred at all it was on the side of con cession ; for it is a fact that a gentleman who has always been decidedly hostile to these laws, and has written a pamphlet on the subject, expressed himself perfectly satisfied with Sir George-Murray's sentiments. But if the corn law question was the test of fitness how did it happen that the great champion of repeal, Col. Thompson, polled only 63 votes ? Perhaps we shall be answered, " the Colonel is a radical." Then he was rejected on account of his politics, and notwithstanding his opposition to the corn laws. This proves that other considerations besides the corn law question entered into the discussion of the merits of the respective candidates. Mr. Greg is a wholesale repealer, it is true ; but it is well known in 'Manchester that the more respectable whigs who voted for him did so chiefly because they saw that the defeat of their party in this election might materially affect the stability of the ministry ; and many of them made no secret of their dislike of the extreme princi ples of their candidate. They voted for the sake of the party, and not for the sake of its representative, nor for the purpose of giving the weight of their influence in support of his views respecting either the corn laws or reform. Let us, however, do justice to Sir George Murray. As he is a man of first-rate talent—a man of business and' of consi derable influence with the leaders of the conservative party, it is right that his opinions should be clearly understood. We therefore make the following extract from his speech on his first nomination:— " We have heard it stated on my right, that if Mr. Greg were returned, he would be an advocate for perfect free trade all over the world. That is more than I will be. (Cheers.) I think that if we were to establish the principle all over the world, you would have articles of the natural production of every country, or the productions of foreign industry, com ing in here, and driving the productions of your industry out of the market. To that extent of the principle of free trade to .which the gentlemen upon my right hand have pledged their absent candidate, I will not pledge myself at all, because I conceive every branch of industry in this country should have such a protection as will give a balance of interest to our countrymen against the industry of foreigners. (Ch eers .) I think that every branch of industry at home ought to be protected. (Cheers.) No branch of industry, however, ought to have an undue preponderance of protection • there should be no more p ro t ec ti on g i ven t o . an y one branch than is just and necessary towards the others." Such are Sir George Murray's opinions respecting the duty of government towards domestic industry in general. Our next extract, which is from his speech delivered on the second day of election, relates to the corn law question. He says— ' I have been called upon to say something about the corn laws. You know now there is a fluctuating duty ; but the bias of my mind is favourable to a fixed moderate duty. (How much ?) A gentleman asks me how much. Why, I am for a moderate fixed duty. lam for nothing that will be injurious to the operative classes of society, because they are the base, and are the foundation of the prosperity of the country. If you drive the capitalists out of the country, whether they go to Geneva or America, you will ruin the country. If you drive the operatives out of their bread you will equally ruin the country." All who do not wish to see british capital employed in fo reign manufactories, or who would have our operatives sup ported in a condition above that of pauperism, will admit the soundness of Sir George Murray's opinions on the subject of free trade. There can be no greater mistake than to sup pose that by protecting any branch of British industry we are acting unjustly towards the people at large. Those people who refer us to the lower prices of certain foreign produc tions, forget that the very cheapness which reco m mend s th ose productions to them, is to be attributed in most cases to the competition of British manufactures. Let the supply cease from this country, and the increased demand for the produc tions of our rivals would as a matter of course raise their price. Should we hear so much of the cheapness of Saxony hosiery if the manufacturers of Saxony had nothing to fear from the competition of our workshops ? If we were entirely dependant upon foreigners for bread, should we be supplied on as favourable terms as when the foreign grower of corn has to meet the British grower in •du same market ? Certainly not. The true policy of a government, therefore, whether directed to the object of finding employment for, its people, or of securing to them theiiecessaries of life, on the lowest terms, is to give protection to native i n d us t ry . With respect to the corn laws, Sir George Murray declares that he prefer a moderate fixed duty to a fluctuating scale. On this point there is a great difference of opinion among men who are disposed to do justice to the agricultural inter est. It is contended by the advocates of a fluctuating scale that in seasons of scarcity it would be impossible to collect such a fixed duty as would be a protection to the growet iu seasons of abundance.. It must, however, be admitted, That the uncertainty of the duty makes the corn trade more a sys.! tern of speculation than of regular commerce, and according to the risk of the speculation the merchant will calculate his profits. Then against the evils of a fixed duty may be set the benefits which the revenue would derive from it ; and accord ing to the amount received from this source, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be able to relieve the country of some portion of those taxes which press most heavily upon the pro chletive classes. The subject, however, is one beset with dif gulties, and which will require.the most cautious and judici ous treatment. What ought to be the amount of the fixed duty, supposing that system to be adopted in preference to a fluctuating scale, is a question which can only be decided after a due consideration of all the circumstances in which the British power is placed. Nothing, therefore, can be more absurd than to charge Sir George Murray with " evasion " because he refused to give more than a general answer to the questions put to him respecting the amount of duty he should approve. For ourselves we desire only to see the question settled with a due regard to the interests of all classes. But as we believe that on the welfare of agriculture that of the commu nity at large mainly depends, we shall always feel it a part of our duty as journalists to prevent the public from being mis led by the unfounded statements and fallacious arguments of the shallow advocates of a pretended free trade.

LEEDS.—The general aspect of the markets since our last exhibits a trifling improvement upon what has been indicated by our recent reports, but the aggregate amount of the sales has not received any material augmentation. Indeed, the quantity of business doing is considered small for the season, but late prices are fully sustained.—Leeds hztel ligencer. BRADFORD MARKET.—The market here on Thursday, was duller than it has been for some weeks past, probably occasioned in great part by the recent unfavourable intelli gence regarding the United States Bauk Bills. The sales of manufactured goods were very limited, and little was done in yarn, though former prices continued firm. There was a good demand for short wool at previous rates, but the sales of long wool were by no means extensive, and the prices were scarcely maintained. —/bid. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 20.—We have this week to report a very limited demand for all kinds of deep combing wools, but the lightness of stocks prevent any vari ation in prices. Blankets and clothing wools continue in fair demand, without any alteration for some time past.— Ibid. HECRMONDWIKE.—There continues to be a good attend ance of merchants at the Blanketnall ; more business would be done, but for the unsettled State of. the Aveather,'Which prevents goods being finished with the usual despatch : this causes prices to keep up, although they are not in proportion to the price of wool, which invariably advances more than the manufactured article. For East India indigo an advance of 2d. to 3d. per lb. ; for the Bth October 3,800 chests are declared ; 406 serous Guatemala at public sale found buyers, common qualities brought former rates, but the better kinds went 3d. per lb. higher: F— fetched 7s. 6d. ; low to fine Sombres ss. 6d. to 7s. 4d. ; ordinary to good Cortes 4s. to ss. 10d. ; and low and clean 3s. to 3s. 10d. per lb.—lbid. SADDLEWORTH.—In this parish there are 39 firms con nected with the cotton trade ; the machinery belonging to all of them is generally in full operation, the hands being fully employed. The cotton trade has improved very much, but the woollen cloth trade is worse than it was a few days since. There are 57 firms connected with the manufacture of woollen cloth. Gloomy accounts have this week arrived from America, and the.late seizure of woollen goods there has greatly injured the: trade here, so that hands on an aver age have not more than half employment, yet goods for home consumption are in moderate request.—lbid. TODMORDEN.—The machinery in all the cotton mills is in full operation, but wages are by no means so good as they are in the neighbouring towns; the operatives, however, ap pear in moderately good circumstanees.—lbid. OLDHAM.--In this borough there are 96 cotton mills, two of which are unoccupied, but the machinery to all the rest, with three exceptions, is in full operation, and the wages are as good as any other town in Lancashire.—lbid. THE PAUPER.—In that house he slept ; and in thathouse, if the parish of Gullumbury succeed, he will die. He is a pauper par excellence--a picked man of his class in the never knew-any-other-condition ; he had no knowledge, no means to avoid his fate. Born in a workhouse, he knew no other home : he never knew a parent. He had known no love ;he was scarcely conscious that he had children, for that was a matter all between his wife and the matron. He was first swaddled in the regulation baby-linen ; he was brought up by hand on regulation gruel, end anti-regulation gin, admi nistered by a superannuated, drunken, snoring old nurse. He had received a regulation education, which he had forgot ten. He married for regulation—morality's sake. He ate regulation food,.and had, by habit, acquired a dietary appetite and a dietary stomach. He slept in regulation sheets ; he went to. chapel in his turn for regulation piety. He left his wife to be provided for by the regulations. He helped to make the regulation coffins, in one of which he was to be carried . from the dead-house, at a trot, to the ?egulation grave, and to have a brief regulation service over his unla mented corpse. He was an involuntary stoic—a man without a motive. His affairs--his affairs. What affairs had he ? Himself, we would say himself, he left to be disposed of by the parish authorities. He had no voice in the matter. His vicissitudes were, to get some work, when the workhouse master told him that he was unlucky, not to say vicious, but he was no banger hurried or teased ; to be tent from one parish to another, wgich he did not care for; and to appear before the score of comfortable gentlemen who had taken the place of the as comfortable overseers at the board.—Thornton Leigh Hunt, in the Heads of the People.

Since this day se'nnight we have had small supplies of British produce, and the impoi ti of foreign Wheat and Flour, consisting of 4,800 qrs. and 1,800 brls., respectively, will, for the present, go under bond. During the week a large business has occurred in Wheat. In addition to a free demand from our local millers, we have had buyers for shipment to Ireland and to the north of Eng land, and the last sales were at a considerable advance of price : on the middling descriptions as much as tid to 7d per bushel, over our quotations at the close of last week, has been realized. No Irish new has appeared. Our local growers had a few samples at market to-day, which sold at 105 to lOs 6d per 7olba. Flour has also brougt Is to 2s per sack and barrel over our previous rates. The quantity of old Oats on the market is now so limited as to render the price almost nominal; and Of new arrivals have not exceeded 400 or 500 barrels, which have sold at 4s 9d per 451bs. Barley being very scarce, and, at the same time, in request, holders have been enabled to realize a considerable advance, As 6d to 5s 9d per 601bs was yes terday paid for good foreign for grinding. Irish new Bere would readily sell at 5s per 601bs. Grinding Peas have been in good de mand at 41s to 44s per qr.; and Beans have found ready buyers at an improvement of fully Is per qr.
