pattrp. THE REASON I'M A TORY. '(SUNG BY THE AUTHOR, A WEAVER. AT THE LATE STAN NINGLEY OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE DINNER. You Britons all, both great and small, that love Old Eng land's Glory, Pray listen while to you I tell the reason I'm alory ; For I'm a trie Conservative, as any in the nation, Who wishes, to "Conserve the State" in perfect preserva tion. I am a true Conservative, because, in my opinion, It is the prop o f Liberty that holds the Queen's Dominion ; Fair Freedom looks with smiles serene on every Institution, And Order, Truth, and Justice gilds our Glorious Constitu• tion. The Ship of Old Expediency I never yet could enter, With O'Connell as my Pilot, or some politic Dissenter, That Ship's not made of British Oak, and, in another storm. Down, down, shall go that shatter'd hulk, Destructives cal Reform. Some people seem to hate the Church ; but, search the whole creation, A better Church there can't be found in any clime or nation ; And it's better pay the Church than pay the Infidel or Papist, For I have balanc'd each account, and know which is the cheapest. If you set up Infidelity, you set up Revolution ; Then a mob they call Democracy shall change our Constitu tion : Then Virtue shall become a crime, and truth shall be a libel, And he shall have the guillotine who dares to read his Bible. You shall have, as they had in France, destruction and dis order, Confusion, anarchy, and blood around the nation's border ; Your children shall be fatherless, your widows see great sorrow, And the tyrant that may rule to-day, shall be in chains to morrow. And if you stoop to Popery, then Britons without number, From Rome shall be imported waggon loads of holy lumber ; The Priests shall then illume the land with Popery's efful gence, And he that loves his neighbour's wife may buy the Pope's - - indulgence. All the monkery and mummery and jugglery of Rome, Sir, Shall o'er the genius of the land fair Freedom cast a gloom Sir ; - John Tuam shall then instruct your sons in the use of holy waters, And Peter Dens in chastity shall then instruct your daughters. Holy Rags and Holy Bones you shall have upon my word, Sir, Some Monk's old pious Breeches, or some Virgin Petticoat, Sir; And if your tender consciences can't stoop to imposition, You shall have, you British Heretics, a " Holy Inquisition !" You must place in holy wells, beads, penance, and tradition, And bow before a god of bread with terror lnd contrition ; You must purchase holy scapulars to keep you from all evil, And after death you must masses; buy and slily cheat the Devil. For the Priests they pray for money—money, money, is their cry, Sir. Money, coming to the world, Sir, and money when you die, Sir ; And to finish off the pious fraud, whene'er you cross Death's ferry, You must leave behind a heap of cash to get from Purgatory. Then let us love Old England's Church, nor in our feelings falter, Of firm attachment to our Rights, Religion, Crown and Altar ; Three times three cheers, for the House of Peers, with Eng land's Glory. LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. March, 1839. This is an interesting number. The opening paper, on "Peru as it is," abounds with information of the highest value, and speculations of the greatest impor tance. We especially recommend it to the notice of our commercial readers, to whom it furnishes many practical hints of great utility. The selections from the " Earlier English Aloral Songs and Poems" are gems of the first water. We are glad to find " The Picture Gallery" continued. "The Week of Pleasure" is a capital tale, full of humour. In the article on " Ireland under the Triple Alliance," we have a com plete exposition of the unity of purpose manifested by the popular party, the Romish priests, and the Queen's government, in the administration of Irish affairs. The object of each of the parties seems to be to extin guish Protestantism. The " Irish Oyster-Eater" con tinues to furnish Blackwood with amusing passages from his auto-biography. The essay on " Egypt— the Trojan War—and Homer," will afford a rich treat to the classical reader. The paper on the recent dis covery of the art of " Sun-painting" is extremely curi ous. " Ben-na-groich"—" Bannister the Comedian" —and the " Philosophy of Consciousness," close the number. Fraser's Magazine.—March, 1839. In this number we are favoured with another mas terly article on " Treason within the Church," in which the jesuitical proceedings of the Puseyists are exposed with merited severity. The first article is worth the price of the whole magazine. It furnishes us with the " Statistics of Popery in Great Britain and the Colonies." It is illustrated by a map, showing the situation of each Roman Catholic chapel, college, and seminary throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. The statistical details are calculated to excite apprehen sion in the minds of all who have the best interests of the country at heart. " Hazlitt in Switzerland" is an imaginary conversation of great interest. The conti nuation of the Essay on the Character and Writings of Talleyrand is exceedingly clever. " Deschapelles, the Chess King," is a very attractive article, especially to those who are acquainted with that incomparable game. " Blue Friar Pleasantries," this month, surely do not emanate from the author of the former papers. They are childish in the extreme. " Selections from the Diary of a Traveller in the Alps" are very interesting. We especially recommend to the notice of our readers the paper on " The British Navy." " Voyaging in Hindostan" contains some highly graphic sketches of " scenes and scenery on the Ganges. "Epaminondas Grubb" is the title of a tremendous infliction upon that conceited and pragmatical individual, Fenimore Cooper. " Notes of the Month" embrace " Lord Melbourne on the Corn Laws,"—" Lamentations of a Liberal,"— " Manoeuvres concerning Education,"--" Sydney Smith on the Ballot,"—aud " The Three Parliaments," on each of which subjects we have in Fraser a lively essay. Dublin University Magazine. March, 1839. • . This truly excellent and essentially conservative mag azine is gradually winning its way into an extended circulation in this country. We rejoice at this; for its political articles are calculated to effect much good, by opening the eyes of the British public to the policy of the anti-English party in Ireland. The number before us contains some very powerful articles. The critique on Dr. Chalmer's writings is a tribute worthy of the object of its praises. The "Confessions of Harry Lorrequer " continue to supply us with a fund of amusement. "A Sixty Drop dose of Laudanum" is .a. curious rhapsody. "My Aunt Emily" is a tale of great power. The notes on "The Battle of the Boyne" - are of great value. The review of " Lord Chatham's 'Correspondence" is written with ability. The " By- Ways of Irish History" contain some very remarkable passages relating to the incessant intrigues of the Popish faction. We must particularly refer the atten tion of our readers to an admirable essay on the Corn Laws in this number. The arguments which it ad duces in favour of the present system of restrictions appear to us unanswerable. The analysis of Lord Durham's report is admirable. The paper on " roads in Ireland" is an excellent practical exposition of the subject, and contains many valuable hints, well worthy of the attentive consideration of those who may feel inclined to speculate in Irish shares. A General Outline of the Animal Kingdom. By Tho mas Rymer Jones, F. Z. S. Part 4. London : Van Voorst. We have already had occasion to express our un qualified approbation of the plan and execution of this admirable work. The principle of classification, or zoological arrangement, as adopted by Mr. Jones, is based upon the comparative organisation of animals. The present number contains elaborate descriptions - of the Echinodermata, the Homogangliata, and the Anne lida. The illustrations are engraved with very great care, and are, therefore, remarkable for their accuracy. Antichrist. A Sermon preached in St. Michael's Church,. Pitt- s t ree t, Li ver p oo l, on Friday even i ng, 15th February, 1839. By the Rev. li. M`Neile, M.A. Liverpool : Newling. This sermon, while it will add to the fame of the reverend preacher, is calculated, from the simplicity of its style and the cogency of its arguments, to render incalculable service to the cause of truth. The identity of the Papal power with the predicted Autichrist was never more conclusively established than it is in the sermon before us;. The text selected is 2 Thess. " And that man of sin be revealed, the son of per dition." Mr. M`Neile, after repelling the attacks made the clergy who undertook to deliver this series of ;', 4 1-lerri ions, proceeds to show that the Papacy is Antichrist, „,, i ,;:om the evidence of prophecy and history. The ap ;f,,,,,,;p-!ndix contains several very interesting notes, illustra five of the character of Popery. We sincerely trust - that this sermon will obtain an extended circulation, 'and that it may enlighten the minds of thousands who • are now ignorantly aiding " the man of sin" in his attempt to banish from the earth the pure and un adulterated religion of the Bible. NEW REGULATION UNDER THE POOR LAW.—The poor law commissioners have just issued an order, prescribing the manner in which the guardians of the poor shall in future be chosen, under the provisions tof which the duties of re turning officer devolve upon the clerk of the union, instead of being discharged by a barrister of certain standing, as heretofore. The chief purposes of the order, which comes into immediate ope ra ti on , appear t o b e economy an d uni formity in the proceedings connected with the future annual elections. The order is accompanied by an instructional letter from the commissioners. THE WASTE OF WEALTH.—It very seldom happens, that the wealth of a miser is quietly distributed after his death. The fate of Farquhar's immense property is not, we think, decided yet ; and there is every prospect that the million left by Jemmy Wood will undergo a considerable deal of perspir ation. Even Day, the blacking-maker, a man uncommonly cautious in all his deeds, whether personal or written, has found his way into Chancery; and the blind, as Feargus O'Connor would say, may look in vain for the alms-houses. What lawyer would oppose the filing of a bill in Chancery, when such splendid sums must be paid into court ? It is plain that money avariciously accumulated, is squandered generally among the lawyers, or by the profligacy of the heir. — Sunday Times. DUPLICITY 'OE THE COTTON LORDS. (From the Morning Herald.) 'During the discussion on the factory bill, an attempt 'Was made (as a matter of course !) to connect the hor rors of the factory system, with the corn law's, as their cause. Mr. Baines was the author bi this attempt ; and he acquitted himself as clumsily as he is wont to do on all occasions. " He would only flir4r say, that in legislAing with re gard to the owuers of factories, they iihigt lkar in mind that there was one mode by which the nuinbet of the hours of la bour might be considerably diminished —namely, by making food more cheap—(hear z hesnr—in reality, by repealing the taxes on food. Then, - instead of having children employed for twelve hours .a day, they might very well be employed only ten hours a day ; and the operation would not. apply to children only, but would apply to adults, and he hoped the noble lord opposite (Lord Ashley) would turn his attention to this subject in the course of the legislation he was pursu lag with respect to the factory children. Let him he a/lowed with all gravity—(a laugh)—to say, thatinthe mandfactories of the continent, neither children nor, adults were restrained from working any number of hours - in the 'day which they and their masters might think proper. Was it not, or at least might it not, become a ..rievoin hardship on the manu facturers of this country, to finpose upon them the necessity of paying a high price for their bread—(cries of " question" ). He hoped he was speaking to the ques ti on —( h ear , h ear ). The observation he 'was making was, that if they imposed on the manufacturers of this country such restraints as would banish those manufactures in which this country had so touch flourished, what, he would ask, was to become of the landed interest ? Let them look at the situation in which they would be placed. The manufacturer of tkis country was compelled to eat food at sixty or seventy per cent. higherthanthelood of:the manufacturer of the continent; and, in the second place, we restricted the hours of labour, so that persons were employed on the continent frequently at the rate of twenty per cent. per day beyond the time during which the English manufacturer was permitted to work." Mr. Baines happens to be a reasoner of the Joseph Hume stamp—a person, in short, with a considerable stock of cunning and certain habits of laborious appli cation—yet a person, all the while, utterly incapable of comprehending a train of reasoning to the slightest extent subtle in its character, or comprehensive in its range. When such persons, therefore, happen to be worth notice at all, (as may, sometimes, prove to be the case when they thrust themselves in the midst of important discussions) it is well, instead of wasting upon them arguments which they lack capacity to fa thom, to permit them to answer themselves. With this bject, we have quoted the preceding very stupid sentences, as they fell from the lips of Mr. Baines. Mr. Baines lays it down as a truth of the first or der, that the miseries of factory children are caused by the corn laws. "It is," exclaims the enlightened member for Leeds, "because English wheat is dears that the millowners of England are compelled to work the operatives in their employment for an unnatural period during each day." This is the broad proposiiion laid down by Mr. Baines. Yet this broad proposition is immediately af terwards refuted by its author ! For, on the conti nent, corn is cheap, when compared with English corn ; and yet, throughout the continent, Mr. Baines tells us, in express terms, that the operatives are worked "fre quently at the rate of 20 per cent per day beyond the time during which the English manufacturer is permitted to work." A repeal of the corn laws, as the free traders tell us, would have the effect of placing our manufacturers on the same level of advantage with the manufacturers of the continent. The manufacturing operatives of the continent, have the " cheap food," which our manu facturing capitalists desire to introduce into this coun try—yet, along with this " cheap food," which, accor ding to the enemies of English agriculture, is to im prove the condition of the labouring poor of England, a greatly increased amount of daily toil is the portion of the'continental operative. Where art English fac tory operative works fifteen hours a-day, a continental factory operative (on the authority of the unconscious Mr. Baines) works eighteen. And to this increase of toil, the benevolent Mr. Baines points, as to the means of improving the English operative's condition If, in short, the dearness of food were the cause '(as Mr. Baines originally declared it to be) of the unnatu ral amount of toil to which our factory operatives are subjected, then would it follow of necessity, that in countries where food is cheap, such frightful slavery would have no existence. But food is "cheap" on the continent—yet there, the toil of factory slaves is more intense than in England. Therefore, dear food in Eng land is not the cause of factory slavery in England ; and out of Mr. Baines's own mouth is Mr. Baines un hesitatingly condemned. The Cant which Mr. Baines and men of his stamp perpetually utter in reference to the alleged crippling effects of the corn laws on British manufactures is of the most disgusting character. It can never be suffi cient, let us observe, for the millowners to point to the wretched condition of their factory slaves, as conclu sive proof of the operation of the corn laws. No. They must go far beyond this point. They must bring their own immense profit into the account—not the profits of two unlucky years—but those regularly accruing profits, which, in their steady accumulation, have within these thirty or forty years, raised the members of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to a level of opu lence (according to their organs) with the peerage of Great Britain. In trying to estimate the effect of the corn laws on our manufacturing system, we must take into account, we repeat, manufacturing profits, as well as the wages earned by the factory slaves ;—and if we find that wages are miserably low, whilst profits are, on the ave rage of years, extravagantly high, we may rest assured that the corn laws are not the cause of wretchedness to the operatives in factories. The corn laws must affect equally profits and wages. !Me corn laws, therefore, could never expend their force in elevating the mill owners, on the one hand, to the state of princes —and, on the other, in depressing the labourers in these naills, to a state of misery disgraceful to a civilised country. No : other influences than the influences of the corn laws must be at work to render our manufacturing system a source of unbounded wealth to the millowner, and of unbounded abasement to the operative. Those other in fluerfces, we have often pointed out. They are gene rated by the use of untaxed machinery ;—and so long as manufacturing capitalists shall be permitted by the legislature to lower, through the employment of.un taxed mechanical means of production, the value of English labour, in order that they may be enabled to meet the necessities of a perpetually-extending foreign commerce—a commerce depending more and more every year, on returns from poorer and poorer nations in every corner of the world—so long will all attempts to remove the horrors of our factory system prove un availing. Those horrors spring, we repeat. from the use of untaxed machinery. Untaxed machinery robs the labourer of the fair reward of his toil, and adds most unjustly to the manufacturing capitalist's profits. Untaxed machinery is, at every moment, robbing the English farmer of profitable markets—and English landowners of immense revenues ! From this cause spring nearly all the social anomalies that meet our eyes ;—farmers toiling for the smallest returns—land owners receiving miserable returns upon their invest ments—exporting manufacturers boasting of princely wealth, and exulting in the consciousness that their capital "owes no allegiance to the soil of England"— and, at the same moment, immense masses of opera tives, sinking deeper and deeper into a state of hopeless and incurable poverty ! LEGISLATION. The following is the mode of " doing business" in a certain assembly : the Speaker is furnished with a list of members having petitions to present that evening, and calls them up in turn. Something like the following scene takes place, the house being all the time in a buzz : Speaker—Mr. Mr. rises. I hold in my hand, sir, a petition from so and so, stating so and so, and praying so and so. I move that this petition be brought up. Speaker— brought up—this opinion say aye ;—opin ion say no—the ayes have it. Presenter hands it to the clerk at the table. Presenter—That it now be read. Speaker—Lie on the table—this opinion say aye ; —opinion say no—the ayes have it. Clerk takes up the petition and stuffs it under the table. Thus, in five minutes, is despatched the labour of perhaps as many weeks ; and if the noise is not too great to prevent the reporters from hearing, the petitioner may stand a chance of seeing somewhat like the following mention of it in the next morning's paper 111 r. presented a petition from some place (of which we could not catch the name), but what the subject was we were unable, from the confusion that prevailed, to ascertain."—Morning Herald. OWENISM REFwinn.—A most successful lecture, exposing the errors propounded by the followers of Robert Owen, was delivered in the Town-hall, Warrington, on Wednesday evening, by Mr. Dicks, of Liverpool, to an excessively crowded audience, who listened with great attention to the lecture, and a discussion which followed, until nearly twelve o clock. A public discussion between the lecturer and Mr. Lloyd Jones will shortly take place in Warrington. CHESTER CHEESE FAIR.—Our cheese fair yesterday, was attended by factors and dealers generally, from every part of the kingdom. The cheese pitched in the Linen and Commercial-halls far exceeded in quantity any fair that we remember in this city. The sales were not so brisk, but many who came to buy seemed anxious to make speedy pur chases. It was calculated by a friend of ours, that several thousand tons were in the fair, the greater portion of which was , sold at the following prices :—Skim, from 40s. to 485.; middling, from 50s. to 565. ; and some prime Cheshire dairies fetched 70s.—Chester Gazette. THE QUEEN AND Miss DAVYS,—We have been in formed from a private source of undoubted authority, that Miss Davys has been dismissed from her attendance on the Queen. It is unnecessary to state the cause of the quarrel— which is said to have been very violent and heated, her Ma jesty expressing her sentiments in the most undisguised and unequivocal manner possible. It is proper to add, that Miss Davys is a young lady.of excellent character, the daughter of a pious and valued dignitary of the church. She was for merly the Queen's most intimate friend.—Staffordshire Gazette. We do not know when we have announced a piece of intelligence which has given, us more real pain and concern than the above. The church dignitary alluded to is the Dean of Chester, who was her Majesty's English pre ceptor whilelhe had as her advisers and guides in the royal household those pure and unblemished characters the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Duchess of Northumberland. When her Majesty came to the throne, and her ministers made choice of her attendants, Miss Davys was not included in the number; at which her Majesty is said to have ex pressed so much displeasure that she insisted on having her as an extra lady in waiting ; and Miss D. continued so much in the Queen's confidence and society, that she was consi dered in the light of her secretary or amanuensis. It is not for us to divine what part of Miss Davy's conduct has led to such marked displeasure as is insinuated in the above paragraph. It has been asked, was Miss Davys too religi ous, too moral, and too plain spoken a character for the court as now constituted ? Let Lord Headfort, and such'as he, answer the question.—Bristol Journal. THE CARLOW trEC.TION-61,0R10U TRIUMPH. (Franz Me;ThibliZzEvefzin:q Mail.) The 'Clare election Was 'an important event in its day : it mainly'contributed 'to the carrying of the relief bill. Now, the relief bill, is itself, might have been comparatively no thing ;in its consequence it was everything: The presence of ii?,n or twenty Romanists in the lower house, provided (!) they kept their oaths, and abstained from attempts upon the constitution, might, perhaps, have been no great matter of practiCal censure, one way or the other, however it Might be deplored as an infringement on the constitutidn.:- hut. i'liotild these men, breaking through every ObligatiOnOilignolO', and every sanction of religious erlgagententft, _be, enabled to turn their privileges to the acquisitien. such pOwer as would give the Popish party in tlrks 'Country an Absolute ascendancy in church and 'state, then, indeed, the relief bill, which con ferred these'abuied privileges, must be spoken of in history 1 as the inosefital measure ever passed by the British senate, andtlie event Which led to its enactment would be handed 'dOwn t+d the latest posterity as an event of the most surpris ing importance in the history of these c o un t r i es . Th e y h av e I gone a considerable length, and the relief bill has tiMady a weight of blame to bear which is nearly as Vetch as it'ean i carry; but there is still vastly more t he gained than has been yet accomplished, before the objects ddritenit4ited icy the perfidious Irish Rrxn triiats, when they heckne parties to that bill, could be at all considered as or realized. We say,, then ; that.nny'et!ent Whlch Will stop them in their career orperjury 'and "spoliation ; is a greater event than that wlAtla Only enabled them to show, in a comparatively small way, how cles*rately faithless and ambitious they all along have been, arrest of Guy Fawkes was a greater event than the hiring out to him of the vaults of the Parliament House. By the Clare election we put Guy and his friends in a position to show plainly what they meant to do. Their designs are now evident : you may count each separate bar rel of gunpowder with which they purpose blowing up our Protestant church and monarchy. By the Carlow election we have arrested them. We protest we think the blow has been struck. The election of Mr. Bruen has, we seriously consider, snatched the slow-match out of the hand of the arch-conspirator, and saved the country. It was the 'only place where ministers themselves thought they had the least chance of success. They dare not innke an appeal to the na tion anywhere else.' It.wat the pocket-borough of their pa tron: a note to " dear Fitzgerald was all that was necessary. Doctor 'Maellale'could return a cow-boy for Mayo ; but for Carlo*, 'town or county, it needed but a note from the pa- Irtin to make his horse their representative in parliament. The person whom he last sent over : is not his a case in point ? Does not the whole transaction realize the picture drawn by Juvenal of another scene of profligacy not less dis. gusting ? " Jam fas est, admitte viros ; Ille jubet sumpta juvenem properare cinineha'; Si nihil est, Judteis incurritur ; abstuleris - speed Judiei ? reniet conductus tausidicus hic si guttritur, et desnntitohaes ; nulla mora per ipsum Quominus imprisito Catherlagh submittat asello." The writ bas issued • hear your lord's command ; sehd you Mister &hill purse in hand ; The purse runs dry ; well, here's my friend the Jew : Raphael's a Shylock ; Lawyer Maule may do ; Maule has turned judge ; we're at a desperate pass ; Well, dear Fitzgerald, then—elect my ass ! It was their stronghold, their citadel, their insulin tiventium, where a Whig could never die. And here. they have been beaten ; beaten by those on whose neck they had hoped to place the heel of their ascendancy before another year; beaten by one who did not even condescend to meet thein in a canvass ; beaten by the bona.fide and legitiinate power bf united and indignant and volunteering Protestants, whO here, as everywhere throughout the kihOona, had hitherto been unsuccessful only by reason of distrust in their own prodi gious and accumulating strength. If they have been beaten in CarloW-, hoW Will it be with them in the boroughs and cohnties which they fled to Carlow to avoid ? If Bruen have a majority of four, what majority will West and Hamilton have ? If O'Connell's ministry have been defeated under the nose of Father Maher, how will it be with them when they come before the face of the insulted and excited Pro testant people of Britain ? The blow has been struck. The career of perjury and plunder is arrested. The Clare elec tion shall no longer be heard of. The •fame of the Carlow election of 1839 has cast its infamous notoriety into the shade. The gentlemen of Carlow have gained a place in British history—their town a niche in the temple of the con stitution. Never was any proceeding more happily conceived—never was any measure more triumphantly executed. The Carlow liberals—the priests, Tom Haughton, and others of the gang —must excuse us, but we never enloyed'a more hearty laugh than that which we, have enjoyed at their expense. Why, sirs, the chair, with its rebel decoratio,ns ' was actually pre pared—the dinner was a-cooking, and the whiskey-punch a-brewing—the indenture, with the return of Mr. Gisborne, positively engrossed and sealed—when, behold, a second candidate, never before heard of, is put in nomination, and triumphantly returned ! Afor' gad, this is one of the best jokes of the present cen tury ; and the Irish, a laughter-loving people, are too fond of a joke to blame us for laughing at them although they are the sufferers. The following is the final state of the poll : Bruen 167 Gisborne Gross majority for Bruen THE CONSPIRACY. (From the Dublin Evening Mail) Three Ribbonmen were indicted at the Drogheda assizes for the publication of seditious papers, and a conspiracy to utter the same. In consequence of the disagreement of the jury, the prisoners have been admitted to bail, and are to be tried again at the next assizes. Of men in their circumstances we shall not pronounce an opinion ; but as to the conspiracy of which they are alleged to be members, there cannot be a doubt of its existence upon any reasonable mind. The papers , found upon their persons, and otherwise in their possession, are!, genuine documents—admitted by the prisoners them selves to have been in their possession when taken : and the treason of them is too manifest to be questioned. The tra versers called no witnesses for their defence, and their only attempt at a vindication of themselves appears to have been a pretext set forward by one of them when under examina tion at the he a d p o li ce o ff ice i n Dublin, about this time twelve months, that theirs was a sham conspiracy quoad Irish affairs, and meant for nothing more than a diversion in favour of the Canadian rebels (then in arms.) But the documents found in their possession carry the conspiracy back two yeArs at least before the outbreak of the Canadian revolt—a fact which nullifies the pretence, even were it not criminal and seditious in a very high degree ; and if with this latter date, 1836, we couple the acknowledgment of Mr. O'Connell, that, at or about that period, he himself was aware of the existence of forty-two Ribbon lodges , in the county of Meath alone (Navan, where the first of these conspirators was arrested in the course of distributing his proclamations, being a princi pal town in that county,) no man in his senses can hesitate to infer the existence of a wide spread and long-continued conspiracy with a view to shake off the British connection and authority ; and that the revolt in Canada furnished what was conceived by the leaders to be a favourable opportunity of carrying the design into effect. The proclamation of 1838 runs in the following terms : " IRISHMEN !—You all know the sanguinary, despotic system by which we are governed. You have read the laws lately proclaimed by William Lyon M ' Kenzie to the op pressed and persecuted people of Canada. They have FOUR TEEN MILLIONS or ACRES—SO HAVE We—imitate their glo rious example. Make haste—arise—arise—arise !! ! This is the last expedient. The pregnant allusion to the acres in this document goes a great length in connecting this branch of the Ribbon conspi racy with what Mr. O'Connell loves to distinguish as the predial, or " agrarian" conspiracy in Tipperary, the King's County, &c., to which so many valuable lives have been al ready sacrificed. We have invariably maintained that the existing conspiracy, under every phrase and development it assumes, or by vihatever name its manifestation is known, is a political conspiracy, universally diffused for the same purposes ; and when we recognised it in any quarter, as an " agrarian" conspiracy, we did so_expressly in the sense of an agrarian conspiracy—as exemplifie d in the history of ancient Rome—being a political conspiracy, involving a revolution in the government of the country. And when we are reminded by the ribbon proclamation now before us, of " the laws proclaim ed by William Lyon Mackenzie," and that these laws contem plated, amongst other things, " the restitution to the natives of Lower Canada [French Papists] of the crown lands, the clergy reserves, and the lands allotted to British companies and settlers"—we are further confirmed as to the nature of the conspiracy in Ireland, and recognise, in its meditated restoration to the aboriginal natives [lrish Papists] of the forfeited estates, its " agrarian" character, whilst its con templated separhtion from the British dominions concentrates its political nature—the one being inextricably involved with the other. Were we required to trace backward the existence of the conspiracy and to show the universality of its extent, we should not hesitate to step back from 1836 to 1833, when the progress of the blessed turf—" the sacred fire." as it was called—took place in Ireland. From one end of the country to the other—through every province, county, barOny, parish, and townland in the island—nay, to the door of every indi vidual house, this sacred fire—a lighted sod of turf—was car ried, in the brief space of a summer's night, and by an agency so mysterious, as to baffle hitherto all research. In the alarm of a midnight attack, and under the dreadful impression of the sudden outbreak of a universal plague, in one place, or of towns and cities consumed by fire sent down from heaven, in another, the startled inhabitants were roused from their beds and ordered to their devotions—the formulae of which were prescribed from the Romish ritual. 'This event—which has never yet received the attention and scrutiny which it merits—could not possibly have had its simultaneous execu tion, except through the agency of a conspiracy as univer sally diffused as the population of the country itself. The mysterious fidelity with which the preparations were kept secret, and which has baffled all subsequent inquiry as to its execution, cannot be other than the result of a spiritual in fluence over the fanaticism of an ignoiant and devoted com munity. The religious nature of the pledges, and certifi cates of admission into the conspiracy, brought under the cognizance of the court at Drogheda furnishes no mean evi dence of a connection, if not an identity,, of discipline and purpose in the two cases ; and seems to us to warrant a call for a solemn inquiry into the whole of the existing conspi racy, under whatever name, or in whatever shape, it may be developed in any part of the country. Pray would not a Parliamentary Committee have the power of examining upon oath the parish priests of Ireland touching the mysterious occurrence to which we have alluded ? The inquiry need not, of necessity, involve matters connected with the confessional. And if not, we see no reason why loyal subjects, as the priests are presumed to be—should have any objection to throw light on the subject. We throw out this suggestion for the discretion of our conservative friends in parliament. The crown did not challenge at Drogheda ; and possibly some member of the jury who voted against a conviction was himself of the initiated in the hellish and mysterious rites of ribbonism. We recommend this case, and its at tendant circumstances to the especial consideration of our able and excellent cotemporary, the Standard. SUBMARINE VOLCANO.—On the 27th September, the ship Claudine, from Havre, being on the open sea, in 31 41 north lat., and 41 30 west long., her crew felt a severe shock of earthquake, which lasted three quarters of an hour, by which the ship was violently agitated ; two others less strong then succeeded, interrupted by smaller shocks at intervals of from five to six seconds, frequently repeated. The noise accompanying each resembled that of thunder. The wea ther was fine and clear, and the sea tranquil, which did not appear to receive any peculiar impression. On the 9th of the following October, three small shocks were again felt at two in the afternoon, in 27 37 west long. VERY WOODEN.—There was a drunken pantomimist of the name of Wood, who was once attached to Manly's com pany. This fellow wished to appear in a speaking part, and at a very short notice found himself entrusted with the cha racter of Orano, in the play of Pizarro. This gentleman has to deliver an account of Alonzo's deportment in the battle field, and of his final capture by the Spaniard—Sheridan's words bothered poor Wood, who, at the time appointed, mar vellously distempered with drink and fright, delivered himself in choice, cockney vernacular, of the following condensed report ` I seed him up—and I—l—saw'd him down, And then—l—l—saw'd him taken prisoner.' " Did ye, by Jabers ?" roared Manly from the back of the boxes, " then I'll saw you off, Misther Wood, as a useless log, Misther Wood. Come round here for your week's salary, Misther Wood, and then cut your stick, Misther Wood." PARLIAMENTARY INFLUENCE OF- THE FARMERS.

Nor can they, under the preient dr- Cuznstariees, long resist, suecessfully, the incessant attack made upon thern,by the ManuttictUrihg body—acting, as it does, under the influence of a political faction, who feel that the inde'p'endent and high-minded agriculturalistS of this country form hn impenetrable barrier to the advancement of their schemes. Sorge systein, regularly and universally acted upon, must be adapted to establish a permanent check to the forced progress of revolution ; and the most obvious means of accom plishing this desirable end is, the securing; by all legal and constitutional means, a powerful and continual majority in the Commons' House of Parliament, in favor of agriehltitre although this is most certainly, a first obje'et.in all 'S'OUnd Con servative policy, we regret that it is t matter hitherto but very little considered. A easu o glaht6 at any authentic and correct PaHianeenthry old'e will clearly show, that there is ample -clem for the 'fagrieulturalists to strengthen their interests in Parliament, by giving a proper direction to their exertions, and enhancing as much as poSsible, the Conservative strength of the kingdom. They must give up the notion that, in return ing Conservative Members of Parliament for the counties, they, have done all they can; or all they are called upon to do ; for until they sufficiently unite with their Conservative brethren in the Municipal Boroughs, they have neglected to avail them= selves of a most important means of rendering their own po sition secure. We have throe n. tOgethera list of the principal agricultural countim tnnst Of which return Conservative members for the )-tittil districts ; but it will be seen, that having within them towns—also returning members to Parliament—the Conser vative strength of the counties is not merely neuttalized, but actually defeated.

Nor can it be doubted; but if they exercised their legitimate influence in the borough elections, a vast difference in favour oT Conservative power is Parliament would ensue. Neithei• can thby commence their exertions too soon. It is impossible to say how speedily a dissolution of Parliament may take place—desultory elections are continually happen ing —and in a generai struggle, or in a single contest, the agricultural interest—if its influence were properly directed could decide whether its friends or enemies should triumph. Is not the experiment worth trying ? Farmers look to it ! Leicester Journal. THE VICEROYALTY OF IRELAND. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Lord Ebrington is officially announced as the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His lordship consequently vacates his seat for North Devon, in the House of Commons. The nobility of the empire have, to a man, refused to accept the indignity—vacant by the appointment of Lord Normanby to the seah of the colonial office—of filling the vicepral throne as the puppet, the servant, or the deputy of Daniel O'Connell ; and consequently the ministers of Queen Victoria have, for the first time in the history of the British connexion with this country, been obliged to resort to the list of commoners, and to appoint a lord by courtesy to the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland ! But these are anomalous days in which we live ; and " ne cessity" at all times " makes men acquainted with strange bedfellows." One is, nevertheless, tempted to inquire why, in looking outside of the ranks of the titled aristocracy, the choice of the cabinet should have fixed itself upon Lord Ebrington. There are two sufficing reasons—sufficing at least to such men as the present administration consists of. In the first place Lord Ebrington was to ministers a ser vant of all work ; and " did his spiriting so gently," as to earn the title of the ministerial poodle. He could fetch and carry to admiration'; and• was never unwilling to direct the public indignation from his masters by running through the mob with an empty canister tied to his tail and rattling behind in " most admired disorder." And for such merits he de served a requital. TWenty thousand pounds a year—with nothing to do but .lacquey the behests of Mr. O'Connell — is no ungrateful compensation. In the second place, Lord Ebrington is a gentleman not many years distant from his climacteric, and looking forward, from day to day to the advanced age of his venerable parent, now in the 94th or 96th year of his life, to the natu ral evacuation of his seat in the House of Commons. Ministers regard the same prospect—and the high proba bility of its recurrence before the period of a general election n the ordinary course of things—with a dread heightened by the certainty of not only losing the vote in the Commons for North Devon, but of increasing the sum of the opposition' votes, by the return (which is undoubted) of a staunch con servative for that constituency ; and they think it better — an opinion in which his lordship agrees with them—to make a graceful surrender of the seat, before his lordship or any of their adherents be scurvily turned out. The 'dog in iEsop's Fables thus made a timely retreat through the door, as soon as he beheld the window raised for his more summary ejectment. And these' are prudential considerations which go far to justify both the proffer and its acceptance. What the general qualifications of the noble commoner may be for the efficient and satisfactory diseharge of his vice gerald duties, we are not prepared to specify at large ; but amongst them may be enumerated—to the infinite satisfac tion of the friends of the government in Ireland— An unmitigated hostility to the establishment ; A crouching servility to Mr. O'Connell ; and An income of Eight Hundred Pounds per Annum—already heavily incumbered ! Hurrah for the vicegeral commoner ! Hurrah for the Whig lieutenant ! NAVAL PENSIONERS.—It gave us infinite pleasure to hear Lord Melville, in the course of the naval discussion a few nights ago, deliver it as his opinion, that the regulation ponder which the naval pensioners were deprived of their pensions while acting on board her Majesty's fleet ought now forth with to be rescinded. The flower of our seamen would then be speedily restored to the Royal service. It is to be hoped that Lord Minto, who has shown some recent glimmerings of anxiety for the interests of our marine, will adopt, without further delay, a measure so just, so wise, and confessedly popular, to which it is incredible that he should be himself adverse, and which would not swell the paralytic budget of Spring Rice by even one solitary farthing.—Times. Mr. Robert Besley, of Northampton-square, has published a letter, distinctly asserting that there has been " gross mis management and misapplication in the administr a ti on o f th e funds" of the Church-rate Abolition Society ; and that be fore the Society can rally, it must be, taken out of the pre sent hands." Mr. Besley says that the account in the ledger of the Patriot newspaper, which received large sums for re port of Church-rate meetings, there was " an erasure in al most every line;" and that one of the auditors, a lawyer, said he should be sorry to go into court with any cause supported by such evidence. MARSEILLES, Jan. 23.—This city, like all the others in this quarter, is advancing in wealth and population with amazing rapidity. Mr. Starkie gives it a population of 111,000; but the statement must be fifteen or-twenty years old. At present the population is estimated at 180,000. There are a vast number of new houses building. Its port is fine—a natural basin about 5-Bths of a mile in length, a quarter of a mile in breadth, and completely sheltered. The situation of Marseilles is the most beautiful I ever saw. It occupies the centre of an amphitheatre, about six or seven miles broad, bounded by lofty precipitous hills. The whole space from the city, back to the hills, is adorned with villas and hamlets. Every merchant or respectable housekeeper has his Maison de Campaigne. Those building are showy, and sometimes large and splendid. They are called Bastides. Their number is no less than 5,000 !—Scolsnian. COURSING EXTRAORDINARY AT BRADFORD.—On Tues day last, a number of persons were astonished at seeing a hare running along Manningham-lane into the town, at full speed, and closely followed by a greyhound, both of which were evidently much exhausted. Poor puss seemed dread fully alarmed on finding herself so closely pressed, almost in the centre of the town, and, as a last resource, turned into Snow II ill- street, which is narrow, and made up at the farther end, so that there all prospect of escape seemed at once cut off. When she reached the end, she made an attempt to clear the wall, but fell back within a foot of the greyhound ; still she completely slipped him, and turning again down the street, ran forward under the very nose of her enemy, when again finding herself on the high road, she turned into the garden, opposite Park-place, were she was again dreadfully pressed, and having made two or three attempts to clear the garden wall, each time falling on her back, her death seemed inevitable ; but strange to say, she once more bounded round the garden, and succeeded in reaching the wall, when passing through the rails, she soon lost her hot pursuer, and turning towards the Stone Quarry of Messrs. Cousen and Thackray, completed her own destruction; for passing over the brink of the Quarry, and falling a distance of thirty or forty yards, she was killed on the spot.—Leeds Intelligences. REGISTRATION OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS.—A bill is now before the ;House of Commons which, if carried into a law, will materially alter the system of registration laid down by the reform act of 1832. By this bill it is proposed to repeal so much of that act as relates to the formation of the annual register, and to originate the proceedings of counties, &c. with the Clerk of the Peace, who, having in the first place caused a number of the necessary forms to be printed, is to issue a warrant to the High Constable there with. The High Constable is then to direct a warrant to the Overseers, and to deliver to each the requisite number of forms for his township. The Overseers have to make out a list of claimants only, and to mark opposite the names on it, and on the copy of the register furnished to them by the Clerk of the Peace, the words "objected" or "dead" where ,required. The registration shilling is to be dispensed with, and the payment of it abolished. With the notices of objec tion are to be given the ground of objections : and the Bar risters are to have the power to award costs in cases of vexa tious objections. Voters living out of the country, &c. in which is their qualification, may vote in the district where they reside, if they have made application to the Revising Barrister for obtaining the privilege of so doing. Alterations are also to be made in city and borough registrations. The times for attending ;to the different steps or course of these proceedings vary a little from the periods laid down by the reform act, but as the act now in progress, if it pass the legislature, is not to come i n t o f orce unt il J anuary next, t i me is allowed for communicating and receiving instructions for the new and future operations. This is the fourth or fiftb session in which the bill has been brought forward. ,§l§l)4.lpfitg , MARCH I.—Wind S.S.W.
