(Coritioued from Tu. SUN of August 30.) CURSORY REMARKS UPON THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE LAST SESSION OF PARLIAMENT. (Pioln.Ths ('Dublin) Correspondent, of ,ingust e.) Not withstanding the convincing demonstrations already referred to, not only that the springs of the public prosperity were unimpaired and entire, but that the nation was the best governed upon earth-s-a body of malcontents, who call theta selves 'Reformers, shallow sciolists in political science, demanded from the Parliament, by means of numerous Petitions which they had suborned, a fundamental change in the Constitution and the Government. This description of politicians never trouble themselves w ith any close examina tion into matters. They never enter into any sober estimate or rational calculation concerning the real state and condition of the country. They give no credit, in account, for the prosperity with which it is so boontifully sprinkled over—for the spirit of liberty which animates and agitates, and' purifies, by sabitaiy agitations, the great mass of the Counnimity—for the toweling height to which the natinuil credit has ascen(led—for the number awl variely of the public instittrions, and the noble solicitude for public honour, stletv, and comfort, ‘t hich pervades the entire scheme of the 411)41 anlelinl ation. From this side of the BC -Ib4lllt they •turul away Slier fa-''es with pretne di ta•ed indifference; and they lay out their zeal in enumerating tne entire sui n i of all that is tran siently inconvenient, ot-easionally defective, or radically imperfect, as matter. of human desivi— ot all that is frustrated in its ends, for a moment, by chance —every misfortune, however tempo nary, every adversity, however fugitive; and, pressing forward this artificial accumulation, they call this the real and veritable condition of the public affairs, the offspring of political venality and corruption, the evidence of the Government's vices and the people's wrongs. Vs'ith foolish - and scrambling arguments, engendered in presump tion, and ignorance of all sound and useful know ledge, they gain over the vulgar, who take user- Lion for proof, and complaint for Sagacity ;- who are easily-persuaded that quiet and regulated spit its. are but the old women of society ; and that every turbulent schemer and retrograde blockhead, is - the only fellow destined for natu ral influence, or qualified to direct the political system of themation. I_Theless they reason, and t h e more they assert,.the more sure they are. of the shouts of the populaCe. Whoever will set about finding out causes but the depressions:of in dividuals, and the casualties of communities, that are perfectly in unison . with the prejudices of the vulgarwhich exempts them from any influence in producing public adversity, and lays it all to the charge of those who are the natural objects of envy—need not study to be very profonad, to ac quire numerous and strenuous partizans, and very sincere practitioners under his doctrine. He may sound all the depths and shoals of absurdity, without the terrors of refutation, or any of the fatalities with which reason and argument threaten less adventurous speculators. Nonsense and im pudence are not easily worsted told overpowered into rest—their labours never intermit through fatigue—and the consciousness of any superiority against them, however immense, never contributes to depress them into tranquillity or good beha viour. -They are volunteer qualities—the off spring of street-levity and ignorance, that are ever oil the watch to aid the worshippers of the idol, Popularity ;—and they very seldom permit any other auxiliaries to be employed, where they espouse political contentions, or con spicuously patronize political schemes or impos tures. if thil declare war against any component item in the public revenue, they immediately set to work, to raise the voices of those against it, who never contribute a farthing towards it—they rummage pauper lists and schools fur signatures — call meetings of all the contingents; which the discontents of life, and the rough, contentious spirit that liberty itself is apt to breed, are ready to send its support of any standard. 'They make a noise, for noise is their characteristic every where—and every dunce and blockhead that is muddled with the sense of his own importance, and neglected—or who hangs loose upon society, and is soon put into motion by any blast that may blow—immeuiately responds in congenial uproar ; and all this is consecrated, by all the speculators \ A • /fy :701.11A • - • f d~~ rlii:.l , F [PRIC r SgVENPENCE. it, except as it promised confusion, and summary confiscation. All that was necessary to be done towards - the physical engine, by melns of which the nation was to be cut down into anieliot mint), and plundered into freedom and felicity, was—to keep them in a state at agitation—to beset their understandings with lies, rumours, and sophisti cated representations—to teach them to expect approaching changes, and to become enamin. ed of them—to prevent their reflecting, l east they should discover their errors--their miserable, wretched, deplorable errors—to _whet their envy against every man more fortunately placed than - themselves---to rouse their resentnients against every person placed in authority over them—and„ while they were hissing and.. foaming under all this prepared exasperation, to ply them with the prstiferous precepts of a desperate Piess, and to enitartee• the ordinary - provocative', by -rhapso. dies of calumny, written and recited, without itku. termissinn. While poverty and ignorance, huttgry desires and omnivorous , passions, de.peratiou anti phienzy, were fermenting, petitions were prepare , ed by a few; and, with no veriatioa in the topics, and little in the arrangement or phrase, distribut ed to all the rallying points of discontent, for sig nature or formal execution ; so that, out of a spring, limited and shallow, and contrived and supplied by a few, comparatively, an immense portion of these petitions took their origin, under which the table of the House of Conmions groan ed, during time last Session. The House - of Commons performed their duty honestly and firmly to-their Sovereign and their Country---a►►d this free Monarchy, the wonder an►i admiration of the world, yet flourishes, unshorn of its legitimate splendour and power, by the an tipathies of democracy, or by the rage of revolu tion. The people are yet represented, as they have ever been represented, since the earlieat days of their Constitntinn—the prescriptive character of'that Constitution re►naiirs onsactificed, to a character of expediency and fluctuation ; the sport of tleorie•s, the ►ictinr of plausahilities ; and, in.. - stead of the scalding trash, and first-run of the fiery spirit of democracy, distempering and de-, stroying the ancient, wise, and efficacious ener gies of our Constitution, our Legislature remains in its natural shape, preserving to the public weal, ,he enlightened and refined extract of all the wis dom and virtue peculiar to British society, in its comprehensive sense. [To be continued.] CONTAGIOUS FEVER IN IRELAND. The Dublin Beating Post of Thursday last it serfs a number of OCCOIMUS from Kilktrioy, 11 7 , terford, Ne‘‘lnarket-on-Fergns, Sligo, Stradbai (Queen's County), Belfast, Dundalk, Longfot &c. describing the shirming pr , giess of the fever • those parts of Ireland; and adds, '"fhe contagio: we regret to state, has at length manifested itself it Dublin. Parish meetings are in the course of being called. The parish of St. Mat.k have already deter mined to ii - ,,seuthle.

NEWRY, SEPT. s.—Since the 12th of July', 183 patients have been received into the Fever Hos-Ot these, 112 have perfectly recovered.... 33 are convalescent, 7 have died, and 31 remain in the Hospital. The number of each sex visited with this dreadful fever seems to be nearly equal. Of the seven patients who expired in the hospital, five only died of Typhus. If these 183 - patients had not been collected to gether, it is highly probable that they would have communicated the disorder to as many more per sons, who, in their turn, would have infected others, and this dreadful malady would have spread through the country, from house to house, with the rapidity of lightning. it is clear, therefore, that the benefit derived by the country from the establishment of fever hospitals, is incalculable.-- The Newry one, in particular, has been highly useful. On an average, about one patient in tett afflicted with typhus fever is hurried into eternity. In our hospital, however, the deaths are, to the whole number admitted, only as 1 to 26—so ex cellent is the treatment which the patients receive, and so consummate the skill of the- medical. gen tlemen who gratuitously afford their attendance. Such an institution ought to be supported by the inhabitants of Newry, not only through MU., lives of patriotism and humanity, but of self-de., fence. This pestilence, for such it is, if perm:t ied to walk abroad uncontruuled, will introduc'e disease and death into the bosoms of our fami lies.— (Telegraph ) DARING RUBBERY.--Monday night, about nine o'clock, a sailor went into the shop o f M r . Troup, silversmith, Tooley-street, Borough, and offered several large silver Portugal ,coins for sale ; while Mr. Troup was employed in examining them, some one on the outside of the shop thrust his hand through a large pane of g!ass4 and stole an eight-day striking silver gilt watch, of an unusually large size, and of great value, together with another silver watch, and ran aw a y, The sailor who was in the shop attracting the at tention of Troup, instantly took to his heels, leaving the coins behind, and, with his supposed accomplice, have hitherto escaped the vigilance at the Police.

When those shabby stimulants cogently apply themselves; and establish their influence, their disciples immediately lose all idea of a difficulty, moral or physical. They see no way but a straight road, and a short one, to every favou'rite object. It is generally overhung with clouds, -and storms, and misfortunes but then it is their true road — it is si►nl►le--no winding!, or circuits, or defiec» Hulls whatever --- but direct upon the object. A Government,' of• twelve centuries in growth, is razed down to annihilation in as many hours.— Customs hots-ever ancient, laws however vener able—instittnions however sanctified by the hoar of time, are frivolorts, ridiculous little obstacles in the way of their designs. Respect for any of these is—corruption. A compunctious avetsion to their destruction, the evidence of profligacy--and any moral shivering at violent and sweeping change, ,but. the demonstration of en oppres#ol., anda.slave in spirit. Faithful to themselves, how ever, while they are mild in the death-dance of their freedom, they are developing their own ab surdity—for, while they call the moral growth of ages but the walk of artificial despotism, and the systematic spoliation of privilege and right—they call that, which they themselves would establish in its place, in a day—and would establish by force, and maintain by coercion—the real tnani- festation of true popular libetty ! S►► that, ac cording them, and from the necessity of their ar gument, it follows, that the longer human society takes—following the develq,pement of its own powers, and obeying the influence of its inherent necessities—to settle and assurae a regular form of polity, to be preserved as a moral good, and handed down to pnsterity as a mord inheritance, the greater the slavery ; and, the more rapi►lly any old community, howrver renowned and flou rishing, can he squeezed and compressed into a form utterly new, no matter how tough,-violent, or desperate the process may be—the greater the degre , of ci►il lihetty ! Of such stuff, and despicable stuff it is, is the scheme of the Reformers substantially formed. Lord COCHRANE presented their petition—and their petition was a Libel, and rejected PIT. the tiolence and injustice of the language iu which it was couched. . it stated, that the present dis tress of the country, the increase of beggars and paupers—the Want of employment for itsdustry— and the misery which resulted from this state of things, could not he relieved by giving the suf ferers soup, while half their earnings was taken away by the taxation 'under which the country groaned, for the support of Sinecure Placemen, Pensioners, and an insatiable Civil List ; and that for tine evil, na adeqoate relietcorvid be. afforded, but by a reform in t,e Parliament. A greater mass of error never was pressed together into an equal space. There is hot a single limb of this motley proposition true : and the truth contained in this part of it, is HS idle as it is self-evident — namely, that soup will not relieve the state of things, compounded of pauperism, beggary, the want of employment for industry , ,-and their con sequent Miseries. rt is true that will not cure an evil of the sort ; but it is also true, that a change in the constitution of the Parliament, would not only not relieve the nation, but expose it to misfortunes a million fold more afflicting Liao all those that were set forth %%ill, such dis mal ostentation, even if they existed to the ex tent asserted by the Reformers. -Though soup, or, any other of those offerings : ,vhich be nevolence tendered to 'lessen the pressure of the public distress, - could nut pretend to restore to unemployed industrYi's. full silare of avocation ; yet, it may very Willy pretend to be classed among those temporary- expedients by which poverty was relieved, ju some respects., and its sufferings lesseqed—and, at all events, we shall findas little religibn and as little morality in the Creed of the Reformers, as wisdom or innocence in their political pursuitli,-.it we seek for the mo tives which led theM to inveigh a:ainst the mea sures taken . fof giving Charity an effiCient system, and • thereby 'diminishing the fund of the' public distress. There could be but one reason for ex claiming against the practical virtue, which re flected such honour upon 'those condiiions in life, that were enthusiastically inclined to share their superfluities—and that was, that as .political ctllations were founded upon the extreme degree in which the public suffered, and upon the mis direction of the'sensibility of the populace ; so every measure which contributed to lessen the distress, diminished, at the same time, the power of the lever, by which it was hoped to move the public passions, and to.embroil the public condi tion. Every step made to bring back the suffer ing classes of life to patience, by the alleviation of their hardships, was so much deducted front the chance of revolution, by means of popular commotionand, therefore, it was quite consist ent with the design of the-Reformers, to repro bate Charity as a weakness, and to brand it as a vice, deserving the execration of all true friends of their country: Their political morality was equal to their political wisdom.—Botb were oils chievous and odious, and yet contemptible to those :whti . reflected upon the true state of affairs. This party did not attempt to support, by any atgument, the inconsecutive inferences which they had so arbitrarily made. Their imaginary reform had no foundation; but in the rash and shabby metaphysics of the day—in the crude ab stractions of a few vain theory-mongets; and, as for the populace, w ho were incited to support it, by disclaiming the constituted Authorities of the couHtry, and by hissing down or insulting every man who was desirous, of exposing the fallacy of the notion by aigument—they cared but little for
