Vottrp. THE MOUNTAINEER. DEDICATED TO THE SCOTTISH NATION BY ROBERT 8188, WiIARFDALE POET. Young Harry was as brave a lad, As e'er in the Scottish garb was clad ; And often—when a boy at home Amidst his native woods would roam, With fearless heart would climb the rock, Or dare the tempest's mighty shock— In search of mountain deer. And Isabel, a beauteous girl ! With neck o'erhung by many a curl : Had when in childhood's happy stage, Been rescued from the torrent's rage, By his bold arm had been preserv'd, When other forms—with fear unnerv'd, Had watch'd her midst the waves ! And nobly she repaid that youth, By kindness, constancy, and truth! Her gentle heart amidst the storm, Would cling around his manly form, And though the lightning's vivid spark, Might hover round their fragile bark — Yet hope was on her brow ! Oh! she was beautiful and bright — The bud of promise and delight ! Her spotless mind by virtue bent, Seem 'd in her mountain cot content : She sigh'd not for a distant strand, But lov'd her own dear native land, Her Harry, and her God. But soon these halcyon days were past, And cruel wars commenced at last : The sons of Scotland, bold and brave! With gallant hearts advance to save Their home, their country, and their fame, And strike the tyrant's power with shame, Who dare invade their land! Young Harry sought his Isabel, To hid a long—a last farewell ! They meet—they part—it reeks not how— Unruffled is that youthful brow ; And she, like Scotia's daughters free, Lives but for love and liberty, With maiden's fondest zeal ! The banners flutter—hark ! the cry Of " Forward ! " echoes to the sky ! The flower of Scotland leads the band, Their gallant Chieftain waves his hand ; He gazes on that beauteous maid, Then draws his trusty Highland blade To strike in Freedom's cause ! They meet—'tis on the battle field, But sons of Scotland never yield ! Their hearts are brave—their sinews strong — They charge—they charge—the patriot song Of Victory" thunders from the plain— Napoleon's host is rent in twain, The Thistle waves on high ! But where is he ? the brave, the good, Poor Harry, weltering in his blood ! That lion heart with valour crown'd Too premature a grave had found! Without a tear, or sad farewell To Scotland, home, or Isabel — He fell at Waterloo ! A HEROIC EPISTLE FROM THE MARQUIS OF L-SD-NE TO LORD JOHN R--SS--LL ON THE PRESENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF NATIONAL EDUCATION. Arise, my Lord John, quit all meaner themes, The games of courtiers, and the sports of Queens. Let Erin's wrongs no more provoke thy scorn, Abjure the ballot, and forsake the corn ; Give all thy genius to the infant nation, And let thy soul explode in education. Guide of my youth, companion of my sire, May all thy changeful schemes my breast inspire! Priestley ! grammarian, chemist, bard, divine, Teach me each settled truth to undermine, Shake every church, demolish every creed, Reject each fact, dissent where all agreed ; Still let thy genius o'er my labours wave, And Horsley's ghost shall quiver in his grave. See where they come, each bishop's throne they shake Cathedrals totter, deans and chapters quake— Each mother hears her babe, with sweet surprise, Lisping in heresy, and prattling lies ; From bench to bench the soft confusion runs, And Babel's jargon titters on their tongues. Knights of the black rod ! erst an injured throng, Cease, cease your woes, and listen to my song ; Ye normal teachers, speed the glorious day When priests and bigots shall confess your sway ; When catechists no more shall bind the soul, And all belief shall range without control ; Thus shall " persuasions" storm each stubborn church, And all shall own the charms of normal birch ; Then, worse than Pharaoh's plagues, each chapter seize. Frogs, lice, and chilblains, what were ye to these ? Yes, we shall floor each Tory institution, Come, babes and ushers, work a revolution ! LITERARY NOTICES. The African Slave Trade. By Thos. Fowell Buxton, Esq. London : Murray. 1839. No one is better qualified to speak or write on the subject treated of in the volume before us, than Mr. Buxton. Engaged as he has been, during so long a period of his life, in the benevolent enterprise of seek ing the suppression of the traffic in slaves, he may be supposed to have maturely studied 'the best modes of ameliorating the condition of those nations in Africa among whom this trade has been carried on. Despair ing of effecting any radical change in the habits of the Africans by force of arms, he proposes to annihilate the slave trade by an appeal to their interests. The plan which he suggests seems plausible. On its feasi bility we can scarcely venture to offer an opinion. The principles on which he rests his plan are the folloiving : —l. That the present staple export to Africa renders to her inhabitants, at an immense cost, a miserable return of profit. 2. That the cultivation of her soil, and the barter of its productions, would yield an abun dant harvest, and a copious supply of those articles which Africa requires. 3. That it is practicable to convince the African experimentally of the truth of these propositions, and thus to make him our confede rate for the suppression of the slave trade. "If these views," says Mr. Buxton, " can be carried into effect, they will have, at least, thus much to recommend them: they will not plunge the country into hostility with any portion of the civilised world, for they involve no vio lation of international law—they require no monopoly of trade—and they involve no schemes of conquest." The various suggestions offered for carrying these principles into operation, are deserving of the most serious consideration, especially from those who are engaged in commercial pursuits. The statistical de tails which are contained in this volume, respecting the extent and accompanying atrocities of the African slave trade, are calculated to produce a deep impression on the mind. Irish Tranquillity under Mr. O'Connell, Lord Mulgrave, and the Irish Priesthood. By Anthony Meyler, M.D Dublin : Carson. At the present moment this work possesses more than ordinary claims on our attention. It is very pro bable that the fate of the Melbourne administration will depend\upon the results of the inquiry which will he shortly made in Parliament into the state of Ireland. Dr. Meyler's work will, therefore, be found of great utility, as furnishing facts demonstrative of the wretch ed policy pursued by the present government. He has furnished the most conclusive evidence of the palpable connivance at Popish violence on the part of Lord Mulgrave, and shown that the fearful excitement, so industriously kept up in Ireland, is a warfare against Protestantism and the connexion with England, carried on by the peasantry at the instigation of the priesthood. He proves that " the Popish clergy are the real and only exciters of the rebellious and lawless feelings now so prevalent," and that " the people, if left to them selves, would be tranquil, and would remain deaf to the voice of the agitator." We recommend this vo lume to the attentive perusal of every sincere friend to the peace and prosperity of Ireland. The startling truths which it demonstrates, and the numerous hor rible facts which it details, cannot fail to convince the most sceptical of the absolute necessity of Protestant ascendancy as the only safeguard for Ireland. Socialism, as a Religious Theory, irrational and absurd. By John Eustace Giles. London, Simpkin, Mar shall, and Co. Those who wish to possess a masterly refutation of the infidel, degrading, and filthy dogmas proptiunded by Robert Owen and his school, cannot do better than procure the lecture before us, which furnishes the most conclusive proofs of the absurdity and ruinous tend ency of the principles so ostentatiously paraded by the socialists as the foundation of their system. Mr. Giles . has given us a full exposure of the impious and licen tious consequences of this system, and proved that it is utterly irreconcileable with the duties of reason and common sense. It is really surprising that men can be found who are so besotted in ignorance as to receive for solemn truths the palpable and self-contradictory absurdities of socialism. We cordially recommed this lecture to the notice of our readers. The late Commercial Crisis ; with Tables representing a Plan for the Abolition of the Corn Laws and Re strictions on Commerce. By a Glasgow Manufactu rer. Glasgow : Lymington. 1839. The only part of this pamphlet which we think worth a moment's attention is that which recommeds a reduced scale of charges for postage—a practical sug gestion which we hope to see carried into speedy ope ration. The rest, though evidently written with a good intention, indicates great ignorance of political eco nomy. The Birmingham Iris, and Midland Counties Monthly Magazine. Feb. 1839. Birmingham : Ouseley. This is the second number of a new provincial as pirant in the field of periodical literature. This maga zine is thoroughly conservative in its tone, and we hope that it may be long continued as an advocete for " the church, monarchy, and constitution." This number contains some very sensible remarks on the " Corn Laws."—" Owenism and its Adjuncts"—and the "'Tithes of the Church." " A Death upon the Sea" is an affecting narrative. The article on " The Romish Confession of Faith" is ca l cu l a t e d t o d o muc h good, by opening the eyes of Englishmen to the absurdities, s uperstitions, and blasphemies of the Church of Rome. Cqnduct of the Romig Church with regard to the Bi ble. A Sermon preached in St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street, on Friday, December 21. By the Rev. D. James, MA., Minister of St. Mary's, Kirkdale. nierpool : Newling. This constitutes the seventh of a series of sermons against the errors of the Church of Rome, preached at St. Michael's Church, in this town. The rev. author has exposed, with much power and cogency of argu ment, the systematic opposition of the Romish priest hood to the free circulation of the holy scriptures, and the contempt with which their contents are treated. We recommend this sermon to the notice of all who may have any doubts as to the real policy of the Pa pacy in reference to the suppression of divine truth. Christ the only Mediator. A Sermon preached in St. Michael's Church, on Friday, January 18. By the Rev. J. H. Stewart, M. A., Incumbent of St. Bride's Church. Liverpool: Newling. This is the eighth in the same course of sermons, and, perhaps, looking at the importance of the subject, one of the most interesting in the whole series. The subject is handled with Mr. Stewart's accustomed abi lity. He proves the utter fallacy of the Popish doc trine of a multiplicity of intercessors, by showing from holy writ that there is "only one Mediator between God and man," who is Christ Jesus, the only atone ment for sin. There is a deep and fervent spirituality pervading the whole of this admirable discourse. The Poetical Works of the Rev. R. Montgomery, A.M., 1 Oxon. New Edition, carefully revised by the Author. Vols. 1 and 2. Glasgow : John Symington and Co. 1839. Mr. Montgomery is already well known to the pub lic of Liverpool as a powerful and talented minister of the Church of England. He is now exercising the avocations of a Christian pastor as one of the episcopal clergy at Glasgow. May he be long preserved to em ploy his great powers of mind for the good of his fellow-creatures in the extensive field of usefulness which he now occupies. We are glad to find that Mr. Montgomery has determined upon re-issuing his poeti cal works in the convenient form of periodical volumes. We have no doubt that they will meet with an extended circulation. The two volumes before us contain " Satan" and " Woman," both of which poems abound with passages of great beauty. The appended notes are extremely valuable and interesting. The typography and general execution of these volumes are highly creditable to the publisher, and conjointly with their intrinsic merits must procure for them the patro nage of a discerning public. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S DECLARATION. (From the Standard.) Various and contradictory inferences are drawn from the declaration of Lord John Russell on Friday night. Some consider that that announcement is to be re ceived as a direct threat to resign after the 'recess, and that the postponement of the execution of the threat is delayed so long only in expectation of the interven tion of quarter-day. Others regard the menace as merely an effort to rally once more the distracted sec tions of the liberals for the exclusion of a conservative administration, and think that ministers have as little notion of relinquishing office as at any time since their accession. Probably, however, the truth is, that Lord Melbourne has no more comprehensive object than as usual to get over the time it he can, and trust for his continuance in office to Court favour and the chapter of accidents. Against this last hypothesis it may indeed be urged, that the crisis is of the noble lord's seeking, and that therefore he may be supposed anxious to obtain a de cision one way or the other. This answer is true in part, but in part only. The vote of the House of Lords was very falsely described by the premier as a vote of censure. It was a vote differing nothing in substance, and very little in form, from the preceding vote of the House of Commons upon the motion of Mr. Frederick Shaw; for between appointing a com mittee to examine into the evidence of the state of Irish crime for four years, and a vote to submit all the returns illustrative of Irish crime for the same four years to the notice of parliament, there can be imagined no difference as regards censure ; nevertheless minis ters permitted Mr. Shaw's motion to be carried without a division in the House of Commons. So far it is true therefore that Lord Melbourne seemed to go out of his way to invite a crisis when he treated the vote of the House of Lords, upon very false pretences, as a vote of censure—an assumption, we may add, suffici ently negatived by the speeches of the noble mover and of the Duke of Wellington, both of whom distinctly protested against being understood to impute any re proach ; and they, it will be admitted, are the best in terpreters of their own meaning. A comparison of the several effects likely to follow the respective motions of Mr. Shaw and the Earl of Roden will explain, never theless, that though, as votes of censure, they stand upon exactly the same footing, the one is much less calculated to alarm Lord Melbourne than the other. Mr. Shaw's motion for evidence is merely a motion for the submitting of prepared and officially garbled docu ments to a prepared tribunal—to a tribunal in which ministers suppose they are sure of a majority, though a small one. Lord Roden's motion, on the other hand, calls for a full investigation by the light of docu mentary and oral testimony. While the one, there fore, may be lightly regarded by the guilty, if guilt there is, the other must be an object of terror. Lord Melbourne, therefore, merely anticipates, in treating the vote of Friday as a vote of censure : it is not a vote of censure, but it will lead to one, and, if the peers of England are like their fathers, to a vote of strong cen sure too. Impeachment must begin with the Com mons, but the Peers will have done their duty if they force upon the representative body a knowledge of the truth. The grounds for inquiry laid by the Duke of Wel lington are surely adequate, the disproportion between the punishments for murder and the murders con fessedly perpetrated ; The boasts of tranquillity, contradicted by the offi cial returns, even such as these returns are ; The confessed existence of a treasonable society bound together by secret oaths, which the executive has been unable to reach, or, if able to reach, has not punished. No attempt has been made to shake either ,of the first two of his Grace's arguments—the unpunished murders and the falsely boasted tranquillity ; but a mi nisterial journal of Saturday denies- that the existence of the treasonable society, bound by secret oaths, affords any ground for inquiry now, because, indeed, the ex istence of that society was known 14 years ago. This is strange reasoning. The very duration and invete racy of the greatest curse of a country is surely no reason for neglecting it. The Irish conspiracy is not older than the boroughs in schedule A, and it is at least as great an evil ; yet the boroughs in schedule A were not allowed the plea of prescription to prolong their existence. The fact, however, is, that the Irish Romanist conspiracy has been now, for the first time, confessed by Lord Melbourne's party as existing de presenti ; hitherto it has been always denied, or spoken of in the past tense. Such a style of speaking was, we know, false and mischievous ; but it might and did deceive so many in this country, as to render it perhaps impolitic to move the subject in parliament. For our selves, aware that the private sentinel has duties more simple and improvident, so to speak, than those which attach to leaders, we never shrunk from telling the truth, and now we have our reward. We must, how ever, go back to the crisis. The suggestion that ministers have suffered any vote of censure is false ; but that a vote of censure upon their Irish policy, if not an impeachment, inevitably awaits them from the vote of Friday, is true. Look ing at their foreign and colonial policy, and even at their invasions of the rights of the people at home, they may see the germs of many ,companion votes : they are, therefore, naturally anxious to fortify them selves, if they can, by a vote of the House of Com mons, while they still command their miserable majo rity in that assembly ; in other words, they , invite the House of Commons to take upon itself the responsi bility of all their delinquencies, known and unknown — to pass, as it were, an act of indemnity in the dark. We do not think that the house will submit to such degradation, and commit so grave a public crime. In deed, how the house that agreed to Mr. Shaw's mo tion can come to a decision, pronouncing its vote upon that occasion impertinent and superfluous, we are un able to understand. To common minds the asking the house to come to such a decision must look like a very serious insult. Meanwhile the people ought to be neither unattentive nor inactive. The villany practised impartially against all parties in getting up, or rather attempting to get up, the anti-corn-law agitation in order to escape the general confusion, must prepare us for any degree of craft and profligacy in the men now holding office. We shall not be at all surprised if the interval between the present time and Lord John Rus sell's selected day of trial shall be employed in nego tiating " a compact" like that of Lichfield House" with the Chartists. Let the friends of the country and of order not lose that interval, and that they may em ploy it to the best advantage we take leave to borrow from our excellent contemporary, the John Bull, the following advice : " Lord John Russell's threat of retiring from office in case of a defeat upon the Irish question, is likely to produce an effect, for which perhaps he is not quite prepared. " Public meetings will be forthwith held in all the counties of England, for the purpose of preparing addresses to the House of Commons, praying it to make the ' STAND' now, against the proposed proceedings of the ministry, and termi nate a career which, disgraceful as it has hitherto been to the country, promises even worse results in its further progress. " This is the moment for the Conservative lovers of the country to be stirring—let no question of personal conveni ence, no consideration of political difficulty stand in the way of the united cry of the people. The people, as we have else where said to-day, have given ample evidence of the increase and spread of Conservative feeling, by returning to parlia ment, in all later cases of county elections, men of undoubted loyalty and constitutional principles—let them now call on those representatives to display that loyalty, and work out those principles, by loading the table of the House of Com mons with the petitions which will be entrusted to their care, and thus awaken, if possible, the Sovereign to a sense of the dangers to the constitution, already too evident to the people. " Not an hour should be lost. Lord John Russel will try his experiment, in all probability, on the Bth or 9th of next month, and we fervently hope that before that period the cry of the Conservative electors of Great Britain will have been heard, not only in parliament, but in the halls of the Palace itself." It is impossible to go wrong in pursuing the course here proposed. Whatever ministers may determine upon, however the House of Commons may decide, it is necessary that all who are anxious for the safety of the country and the monarchy should be awake and at their posts. PROGRESS OF POPERY. (From the Scottish Guardian.) Our readers will recollect that we have of late re peatedly directed their attention to the progress of Popery, and to the steps which the Church of Rome is taking for farther advancement. We have seen the progress at home and in the colonies ; but these are not the only quarters. The same spirit of evil is at work on the continent. The public may remember a conflict between the King of Prussia and the Arch bishop of Cologne, which terminated in the banish ment of the latter. Mr. O'Connell, of course, severely denounced the Monarch. Many, perhaps, imagine that the whole was a mere personal squabble between men in high places. But far different is the truth. We could not hope to make the case intelligible to the general reader, except at an expense of ex planation which we would grudge ; but this we may safely say, that the origin of the whole was a most base attempt, on the part of the Popish ecclesiastic, to re vive the most rigid and intolerant practice of the Church of Rome in regard to mixed marriages—that is, marriages between Roman Catholics and Protes tants ; and that, in the course of this attempt, the most disgraceful jesuitry and bad faith were everywhere con spicuous in the conduct both of the Archbishop and of the Court of Rome, which was a party also 'to the pro ceedings. We must refer the reader to two interesting and able articles on the subject in the latest numbers of the Quarterly, and Foreign Quarterly Reviews — they are full of information, and well worthy of gene ral perusal. One point is apparent, and that is, that the step at Cologne is but a step to similar usur pations all over the continent, where there is any scope for them, so that one of the Reviews justly entitles the article treating of them " Papal Conspiracy." Without reading these Reviews, we hope the following letters from Michaelis, the chaplain and private secretary of the archbishop, will be so far intelligible to the reader as to show forth the active exertions of the Jesuits in Prussia at the present day. By law the Jesuits are strictly excluded from Prussia. The letters will prove how the priests of Rome keep their oath to observe the law ! It may be added that the letters were seized by the police when in quest of other things, and that Mi chaelis acknowledges them to be his, of which, indeed, from other circumstances, there was no doubt. Thus he writes a friend : '• To his Reverence, M. Pastor Binterim, D.D., Knight of the Papal Order of the Golden Spur, Bilk, near Dusseldorf. " Cologne, April 7, 1837. " Reverend and Honoured Sir,—The business of Father Schulten I have attended to, and shall shortly answer your most pleasing letter. For the present two requests :-1. Could you furnish me with a short characteristic of the deans of our diocese —a, how they are disposed towards Rome ; b towards celibacy and omnem habitum clericalem ; c their literary attainments, and their talents? 2. It is of the great est moment to draw some superior men to Cologne. Mr. Laufent, it is to be hoped, will come ; it is only a pity that no parish is yet vacant for him. Can you tell me of any young men promising in those three respects, particularly from Belgium? It would be a matter of great joy to us (sed tantum inter nos) to smuggle in some Jesuits. Do you know any who speak German fluently ? From Switzerland or Rome would excite too much attention. Talk over this matter pri vately with Father Schulten. As soon as some are found, we must consider how the ulterior steps are to be taken. If you know Mr. Laurent, in the diocese of Liege, pray write a line to him to persuade him to accept the rifling offer which has been made to him. It is at present only a curacy, at St. Columba, which is open ; the farther promotion will come in good time. Pray keep this obscure letter secret. Commending myself to your prayers, I remain your most devoted friend, " EDWARD M. " In haste—O. a. M. D. G.—PAID !" To the Same. " Cologne, May 2, 1837. " REVEREND SIR, MOST HONOURED FRIEND.—Your respected letter 9f the 25th ult. gave me the greatest plea sure. The hour is fully come, every means must now be energetically employed. First hear how far matters have ad vanced. The archbishop gives his blessing to everything ; but for the present shuts his eyes to the whole affair, so that the undertaking is only a private undertaking. I shall in a little time provide [contrive to introduce] for four J.* in Cologne, and then for one at Bonn. They will, doubtless, obtain here a sphere of labour. lam educating some clever boys entirely for this purpose, and in Bonn there are several of the most talented theologians, who are willing to enter into the order. With these I intend to erect a covenant of faith, and shall then bring them into connection with the J. in this place. From Rome two J. are expected. The two Prussians at Nivelle are well known to me; they lived in our house at Miin.ster. For the present, I wish that the young est, Joseph von Ham, should be sent hither as soon as possi ble; only let him be addressed to me—l will take care of the rest. For the sake of security he may bring with him a medi cal certificate, ordering him to take up his abode on the Rhine. In Burtscheidt and Aix-la-Chapelle the Missionary Society is starting into existence ; here the difficulty is greater, but all in good time. " One thing more : the archbishop wishes much that all the pilgrimagest should be restored. In reply to an inquiry respecting a pilgrimage which is to last several days, the archbishop said, that he grants the ecclesiastical permission, only they should take care that the civil authority have no objection to it. Pray work and agitate, that everything that has been abolished may be restored. The gentlemen at Bonn have been forbidden by the Ministry-1, to name the name of Hermes ; 2, to use any of his works, especially the philosophical introduction ; 3, to advance any of his doctrines ; 4, Hilger's lecture upon dogmatic theology has been for bidden. Whoever refused to subscribe was suspended. All have subscribed ! The archbishop has interdicted Riber and Leutze from delivering any lectures. 'With respect to the inclosed letter, I should have liked to add a full account of the state of things in Bonn, if time permitted, and I had not had a similar commission from Blenkert.T. Pray refer the gentlemen to the article which is to appear in this journal. With all respect, your most de voted, E. M. "O. a. M. D. G.§—FOR THE SAKE OF SECURITY NOT PAID ; DO YOU DO THE SAME." Let it be remembered that these letters are so recent as the year before last, and yet there are men calling themselves Protestant, so ignorant and silly as to imagine that Popery is changed ! What honest Papist would accept of the compliment ? and why, then, should Protestants stultify themselves to render it ? Fire and water may change ; Christ and Antichrist cannot. * Jesuits These pilgrimages had been prohibited by the preceding archbishops, as tending only to superstition and immorality. Editor of the WUrtzburgh Journal. " The Friend of Religion and the Church, for Catholics." § We believe these cabalistical letters signify, " Oremus ad Matrem Dei Gloriosam." LORD FORTESCUE-THE LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Though recent events have rendered it problemati cal whether Lord Ebrington will ever assume the reins of 'viceregal authority in this country, we deem it a duty, until the question shall have been finally settled, to keep his public acts and professions alive in the pub lic mind. In our publication of Friday last we noticed the anticipations of his friends, with a view to restrain the over-sanguine, and to warn the too credulous ; and, at the same time, to record our own dispo sition to do justice to the merits, should they ever be made to appear, upon which a confidence (now premature) is demanded. We professed to be solely guided by the public manifestation of his lordship's principles; and we called upon the conservative inte rests in this country to take the same rule for their guide. Nothing has since occurred to give our opi nion a more favourable turn, nor to divert the aristo cracy and gentry from that"course towards his lordship which we know it is their intention to pursue. On the contrary, the public indications of his lordship's prin ciples, which have subsequently occurred, are of a na ture to confirm our prepossessions ; and, if the maxim noscitur a sociis be true, to warn the nobility, gentry, and clergy of Ireland, that, in the person of Lord Eb rington there is no fit companionship for them. If our readers will examine our subsequent columns, they will find his lordship publicly associating at dinner with a radical society, over whose festivities presided, as chairman, the notorious Mr. Alderman Wood. At this entertainment Lord Ebrington and Mr. Daniel O'Connell were the principal speakers ; and we find them respectively engaged—the former in giving in his unqualified adhesion to the system of Irish govern ment pursued of late ; and the latter lecturing his lord ship on the necessity of following that course which, under the base submission of the last chief governor, placed Ireland under the control of the Romish priest hood, working through the agency of popular agita tion. What Mr. O'Connell's view of the government, as conducted by Lord Ebrington, is, may best be col lected from under his own hand; and with this im pression, we here record the following letter, dated London, March 22, as the precis of the new adminis tration : " London, 22d March, 1839. " MY DEAR RAY—The people of Ireland will see with sa tisfaction the decided and manly part which the ministry have resolved to adopt. They bring forward, on or before the 15th of April, the question before the House of Commons, shall Ireland continue to be governed on the wise, humane, and impartial principles acted on since 1835, by Lord Mel bourne's government—or shall she be handed over to the truculent, the furious, and the sanguinary Orange faction ? This question the House of Commons is to answer ; the House of Lords have, consistently enough, chosen the worst part, and under the guidance of that harsh and ungenerous old man, Wellington, declared for the Orange faction. There was a time when you would have been surprised to read the newspaper speech of Lord Brougham, yelping in with the vilest of the Orange rabble—but no one now is surprised at anything so unprincipled a statesman writes or sings, says or yelps. " Well, then, the tug of war is to come on on the 15th of April. I intend to go to-morrow to Liverpool : and on Sun day night, unless it blows a whole gale, to go to Dublin ; if not on Sunday night then, on that of Monday. Reckon on me for Tuesday at the latest. " The fate of Ireland depends on Lord John's motion, con ciliation or oppression. There is time, however, for the Irish nation to speak out—loud, long, and unanimous. I mean to move on Tuesday an address to the Irish people, calling on them to rally at once against the diabolical Orange faction, a faction enriched by the spoils, and red with the blood of the Irish nation ; let us peaceably, tranquilly, but at once, meet, petition, and remonstrate ; let me present three hundred thousand petitioners at the bar of the House of Commons, calling by their respectful but firm petitions on the British legislature to avert from our lovely green land the horrors of civil war and bloodshed ; and to continue to us at the least a just, merciful, and impartial administration until they grant us the equalization of civil rights and religious freedom, which cannot be as long as the majority of the Irish people support the church of the minority. " Hurrah for this peaceful conflict. I like the straight forward boldness of this blow of the ministry ; it is what we desired—collision between the two houses on a great, a vital, and all-important principle—the principle on which Ireland is to be governed, either for a faction, or for the people. Hur rah for the Irish people ! It makes me young again to en gage in this conflict. All Ireland will, I trust, at once become Precursors. It is the name of peace, in which we will fight our bloodless battle. Hurrah for old Ireland ! " Circulate these tidings. I will be with you to enforce these sentiments.—Faithfully, yours,. " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Ray, Esq." But even this letter, strong as it is, falls short of the explicitness of Lord Ebrington's own declaration upon this occasion. We find him, in the course of his speech, renewing his engagements to walk in the foot steps of his predecessor, and adopting towards the landed interests of Ireland that unjust and unjustifiable policy which was the worst and most offensive feature of Lord Mulgrave's government. It was the policy of the latter nobleman to hold up the landlords of Ire land to odium and to ruin, by representing them as the true, though remote causes, of all the crime which stains the character of the country. Lord Ebrington follows in the same strain ; but—as if " Anxious to wound and yet afraid to strike"— he insinuates, rather than asserts, his opinion of their culpability. This he does by a side-wind--by a con trast instituted between the landed proprietors resident in Ireland, and the members of a radical company in London, (the Irish Society,) which possesses extensive estates in Ulster ; and whose management thereof he commends, with a view of disparaging that of Irish independent gentry.. " Gentlemen," says he, " if all the proprietors of land in Ireland were like you, if all had the same benevolent intentions," &c. We so lemnly protest we , never read a more dangerous and unjust insinuation than these words convey ; and we trust that ere they put their confidence is the speaker, the gentry will require such an explanation as may . set them right with the public. His lordship eulogises this society for the well-built houses, the well-cultivated lands, the well-looking and respectable tenantry which adorn the estates, and for the peace and prosperity of the district. 'These his lordship has witnessed with pleasure ; and that pleasure the greater, because these estates form an exception, we suppose, to the general rule. Are such things not to be seen and felt on the estates of any of the resident Irish gentry ? Are such things not the result of the civilization, prudence, and humanity of Irish proprietors ? We tell his lordship the contrary; and that everything agreeable he has witnessed on the estates in question is not the result of the Irish Society's benevolence and management, but of the manageMent, benevolence, and intelligence of a class of tenants upon those estates, who, fortunately for the interests of the country, are perfectly independ ent of the society, and who, from leases in perpetuity, have a better interest in the land than the griping ab sentee, and radical proprietors of the fee simple. These gentlemen are the resident gentry of the spot—the lo cal magistrates who preserve the peace—the friends and -protectors of the poor—the improvers of husbandry — the teachers and ensamples of good morals and loyalty. The society have little or nothing to do with the ma nagement of the estates, save to receive their head rents and renewal fines : the prosperity and conduct of the population is the work of a resident gentry. . Good houses, forsooth, adorn the estate ! They do ; but little thanks is due, therefore to the benevolence or integrity of the Irish Society. They are incorporated under a charter which requires them to divide with other London proprietary companies, at certain periods, the surplus (after an ascertained amount of the profits) arising out of those estates. For many years, as we are credibly informed, the managers of the. Irish So ciety contrived the matter so, that no division was made, nor any account rendered of the surplus. What became of it is a question we don't pretend to answer. But this we know, that when the other companies in stituted suits in equity for the recovery of their rights, the Irish Society began most zealously to expend the surplus—so that none might remain—on the erection of houses, &c., and have thus been extremely liberal to their tenants, and have very much enhanced the value of their own lands, at the expense of those to whom the surplus funds should, of right, have belonged. This enforced liberality is truly a subject of commen dation for a radical society, because it is the only one, perhaps, for which even the appearance of a merit could be claimed. It is not, however, with such benevolent and prudential management that the Irish landlords benefit their estates. We wish the society much joy of so felicitous an eulogist as the Baron Fortescue. THE ECCLESIASTICAL DUTIES AND REVENUES BILL (From the Times.) In our paper of the 18th of February, when commenting upon certain clauses in the Ecclesiastical Duties and Reve nues Bill, one of which seemed to have been introduced prin cipally for the purpose of patching up the title of Lord Wri othesley Russell to the deanery of Exeter, by a confirmation of that title so indirect as to be likely to escape the notice of members in a committee upon the bill, we took occasion to suggest that the course which ought to have been pursued by ministers was manfully to come before parliament, and avow ing the defective title of this Dean of Exeter, to seek from the legislature the confirmation, by specific enactment, of that title. _ _ _ . Since our observations upon this subject were placed before the public, a new difficulty has arisen. We stated on Satur day that an address signed by 11 bishops had been presented to the Archbishop of Canterbury, entreating his Grace to withdraw any sanction he may have given to the bill, to which we have referred, and intimating the firm determina tion of those prelates to oppose a measure which they consi der most injurious to the cause of religion, and to the welfare and stability of the Established Church. A similar opinion as to the effects likely to result from the bill is to be found embodied in an address, either already or shortly to be pre sented to his Grace from a large body of the lay members of the Church of England. We are informed that the Primate has at last begun to reflect how far it is necessary for him to support a measure, originated, it is true, with a commission appointed by Sir Robert Peel's government, but proposed after a change made in the constitution of that commission, whereby the weight and influence of the clergy in directing its proceedings has been essentially, and, for the interests of the Charch, we fear, fatally diminished. But if the bill is not to pass, at least as it stands " what is to become of our brother Wriothesley?" a question which, considering the very few weeks, perhaps days intervening be tween his present possession of power and future irretrievable loss of it, we admit, must be a very pressing one for the con sideration of the Home Secretary. " Shall we then advise her Majesty to revoke the appointment, and make a valid one, by appointing one of the prebendaries to the deanery, or seek from parliament, by a plain statement of the case, a con firmation of the letters patent issued by royal command, in consequence of the advice given by us ?" The first course would be in conformity with the statutes of the Cathe ; drat Church of Exeter ; but the deanery would be lost to a scion of the house of Russell—the other would be open, manly, or straightforward ; but who expects an open, manly, straightforward course in parliament to be pursued by the present government ? What says a Sunday paper, formerly a strong supporter of the Melbourne administration ? In allusion to the threatened application for " a vote of confi dence" after Easter, we find the following :—" But then, by postponing retirement till after Easter, another quarter's salary is secured ! The general conduct of these men justifies the imputation of mean motives on the present occasion." A. tortuous course is therefore again to be pursued. A bill has been sent down from the Lords, with the title of the " Ecclesiastical Appointments Suspension Acts in part Re peal Bill." Its object is to enable the chancellor or commis sary of the bishop to whose diocese any portion now sub-. jetted to the jurisdiction and visitation of another bishop formerly belonged, to attend upon the other bishop, and con tinue in the exercise of certain powers relating to churchwar dens, marriage licenses, probates of wills, &c., over the por tion so transferred. That bill stands for committal this even ing. Now, let our readers bear in mind that the Dean of Exeter " has heretofore been elected or appointed from amongst the canons or prebendaries" of that cathedral, and that in consequence of the reforms recommended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, canonries or prebends, as they become vacant, are not to be filled up, and they will under stand why the bill sent down by the Lords is to be made a peg whereon to hang the following : PROPOSED ADDITIONAL CLAUSE FOR THE ECCLESIAS TICAL APPOINTMENTS SUSPENSION (ACT IN PART RE PEAL) BILL, BY LORD JOHN RUSSELL. `• And be it further enacted, that nothing in the said first recired act contained, nor anything contained in an act therein recited, passed in the seventh year of the reign of his said late Majesty, entitled An Act for Suspending for one year Appointments of certain Dignities and Offices in Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, and to Sinecure Rectories,' shall prevent the collation or appointment of a canon or preben dary to any canonry or prebend which shall become vacant by reason of the vacancy of any deanery in any cathedral or collegiate church, wherein, according to the statutes or cus toms of such church, the clean has heretofore been elected or appointed from amongst the canons or prebendaries thereof" EFFECTS or A DRAM.—Saturday last, a warehouse girl was intrusted by her employers with some shawls to sew after she went home. Instead of going home to work, she went into a house to get a dram. The dram rendered her desirous of more; more she got; and having become unable to take care of herself she fell into bad company, and was robbed of her shawls, and eight shilling's in money. The thief ; a female of public notoriety, was discovered,'appre headed, and was sent for thirty days to Bridewell. It will probably take a year's hard earnings to pay for the shawls, and this is what the girl has gained by taking a dram.—Pais ivy Advertiser. Man was formed with an understanding, for the attainment of knowledge ; and happy is he who is employed in the pur suit of it. Ignorance is in its nature unprofitable ; but every kind of knowledge may be turned to use. Diligence is gen erally rewarded with the discovery of that which it seeks after ; sometimes of that which is more valuable. Human learning with the blessing of God upon it, introduces us to divine wisdom ; and while we study the works of nature, the God of nature will manifest himself to us ; since, to a well-tutored mind, " The heavens," without a miracle, "declare his glory, and the firmament showeth his handy work."—Bishop Horne. - - HOBART TOWN, OCT. 19.—0 n Tuesday last the very gra tifying sight of the launch of a vessel of considerable magni. tude was witnessed . at Kangaroo Point. 'This ship, which we noticed a few weeks since as being in a very forward state, has been nearly two years in building, from a model by Mr. Johnson. She is the largest vessel which has been built in this or any of the Australian colonies, and reflects the high est credit upon the spirited proprietor, Mr. Petchey, and all concerned. Her dimensions are as follow :—Length of keel, 83 ft. bin. ; imperial register, 387 tons. As a work of colo nial art and industry, we cannot look upon her without a feeling of proud satisfaction. We behold in her, and the Maria which was launched a few months back, the commencement of a colonial navy, which, we hope, is destined to rank high in ge nerations yet to come. In it we behold not only a suitable and profitable employment for a large portion of native youth, but a sure and certain means of giving trade, commerce, and ulti mate prosperity to Van Dieman's Land. With a healthy and temperate climate, our native seamen, reared in the mer chant service, will be robust and hearty, active and da ring. Our insular position affords us the advantages of an unlimited extension of commercial intercourse ; and we doubt not that the enterprising spirit of many individuals in the colony will, ere long, reap a substantial benefit from the intermediate commerce which may be carried on between the various countries and islands scattered over the vast expanse of the immense Pacific Ocean. The commencement of our colonial ship-building was attended with considerable diffi culties, arising not more from the scarcity of shipwrights and materials than from the want of a knowledge and proper management of the peculiar wood of this country. But experience and a due attention to the process of seasoning the timber has now proved that ships built of this country's wood are more durable than those vessels constructed in the mother country ; and we are enabled to state, upon the authority of Mr. Gray, a first-rate ship-builder, that our gum-tree wood, when properly seasoned, is preferable even to English oak for the purpose of ship-building; whilst nature, in this colony, so far aids the shipwright in his I:ibour, that there is no form or curve which may be required in the art of ship-building, either for " transoms" or " knees," no length which may be wanted for masts or spars, that cannot be found spontaneouidy growing iri our fokesti.---Robart Town Courier. gPbtpptng Eittciligcntr.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 26. Since Tuesday last the imports from Ireland of Wheat and Flour have been moderate, but of Oats and Oatmeal from thence have been to a fair extent ; 'and of Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports they have again been very large : our stocks are thus very materially increasing, as our millers and dealers have heen very sparing pur chasers for immediate wants during the past week, even at a small reduction for every article in the corn trade ; and this remark is applicable to the corn markets of Yorkshire, and also to those of this district, in which very few sales could._ be effected of Grain, ,Flour, or Oatmeal from this port. The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, Oats, Rye, and Peas from Foreign ports is this week increased Is 6d per quarter, on Wheat and Flour it unexpectedly continues the same as last week, at the lowest duties ; and if the next weekly average be 73s 10d, it will again so remain for another week, or perhaps more. After a short discussion in the House of Lords, and a debate of five succes sive days in the House of Commons, the motion to take the Corn Laws into consideration has been negatived by very large majorities, and this question seems set at rest for the present. Oats in bond continue to find sales for export at the prices quoted; the value of all other Grain in bond is nominally as free, adding the duty. As this day's market there was a full attendance, but in conse quence of the depressed state of Mark-lane yesterday, the demand was only to a very limited extent for every article in the trade ; the superior qualities of English and Foreign Wheat nearly supported last quotations, but on all other qualities a reduction of 2d to 3d per 701 b was submitted to ; Flour was offered Is per sack lower, and every other article participated in the depression. After the market was closed 1000 barrels Western Canal Flour were forced off by public auction at 35s to 358 6d per barrel. WHEAT, per 701bs S. d. S. d. INDIAN CORN, If). 480Ib.

Our market being held a day out of course in consequence of to morrow being Good Friday, we had, as we expected, a very thin attendance of buyers to-day, and sales of Wheat have been effected on the most limited scale, almost exclusively to our local millers, without alteration from the rates of Tuesday. There was scarcely any thing passing in Flour, either British or Foreign, and the pre vious currency appears nominally unchanged. Oats were without inquiry except in retail, and with difficulty supported their late value; the dealers' purchases of Oatmeal were equally limited, though some quantity might have been disposed of by submitting to a reduction of is per sack, which holders were not inclined to do. In other articles we heard of no transaction worth notice. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 26th to the 27th March inci BRITISH AMERICA.
