" Bilt we are told that, think as we may, or act as we may, the Romish clergy must continue to be the spiritual instructors of a vast majority of the people of Ireland; and that, therefore, it is desirable they should be taken under the protection and patronage of the state.. We demur to both branches of this argument. We aver that there never was a time when the clergy of the Establish Church more faithfully did their ditty as Christian min ters, and when, if only due protection and enco were extended to them, fairer prosnec t is the extent of that production of which the presented them- , nighted people a I ledge of the ev g Gospel " Never, since theconnect:on of this country with England, was there a period of which it might be more truly said, Lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields ; they are white already for the harvest;' and in whi c h the ithdrawn themselve ii. and hernm, hoo ins righteous might be more fervently addressed to the Majesty on high, Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he may send forth labourers into the harvest ;' for the harvest truly is plenteous, but the la bourers are few.' And what is the practical answer to this, on the part of a Protestant government? ' There shall be fewer ; discountenanced shall they be, and crip- pled in their resources ; persecuted shall they be, and a scoff to the blasphemers, whose threats and whose vim • lence shall all go unpunished, because a false liberality is Idearer to us than Christian truth, which, while we seek to conciliate its ad versar i es, must wa i t upon our political e convenience.'

The wo.lking up to Dub- light had broken upon Ireland : witness the eager lot sticks in your ness which I , - - - ne mom of superstition in Ireland was breaking up. Its foundations had been sapped ;it buttresses were rotten. The spread of education had induced a spirit of inquiry amongst the people before which Rome quailed and shrunk aghast. Fertile in expedients —ever watchful in er policy —she held up before the eyes of her wavering fol lowers the dazzling prospect of national indepen dence ; she strengthened her hold upon their alle giance by enlisting them under her banner in a tern ' poral struggle; and diverted, for a time, their atten tion from those spiritual inquiries in which they had shewn a disposition to embark. The chapel became a political debating society; the altar a rostrum • the priest a demag ogue . A n d yet even amidst the 'heat of political agitation—amidst the turmoil of party animosity—evidences of the spiritual weakness of Romanism in Ireland would, from time to time, break out. Apart from the political power which she exercised o• er her followers, Rome was weak, and is weak even now; her spiritual fabric a house of sand—an uncemented mass of crumbling ruin. And is this a time to weaken and discourage tie agency by which so much of good had been, and was daily being, brought about ? Is the moment of ap proaching fruition of the object of all the toils and dangers of its faithful ministers the time when the upholding hand of the state should be withdrawn from the Protestant Church of Ireland, and the op ponents of that church, and of the truth which it teaches, should be fostered and endowed ? Assu redly it is not; and heavy will be the responsibility of that ministry, kby whose agency so much of ap proaching benefit to Ireland, from the efficient mi nistrations of that church, shall be arrested, and the darkness of the spiritual tyranny of Rome again per mitted to settle on her head.

REPRESENTATION OF PEEIILES-SHIRE„—A corres pondent of the Edinburgh Evening Post, in a letter dated from Peebles, on Friday, says, that an address from Sir J. G.

It was expected, however, that Mr. Mackenzie's interest will be too strong to allow him to be shaken, although the feeling against Maynooth ran very strong in the —The trial at bar in Attorney-General v. terminated on Friday last, the jury re turning a special verdict for the crown on the second count, and expressing their opinion that there had been no proof of a fraudulent use having been made of the com munication. After some consultation not heard in court, the verdict was entered, by agreement, for £70,000. Mr. Kelly applied to enter a verdict of not guilty on the re maining five counts, which was agreed to. The trial lasted eight days, and each juryman was paid at the rate of a guinea a day, in addition to two guineas each for THE NEW PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN PARTY. —The London correspondent of the Dublin Slateman says, with respert to the Anti-Maynooth Conference, " I never saw more real determination expressed to make a decided and lasting struggle. All political, and even all ecclesias tical differences, are sunk in order to unite all Protestants on the broad basis of Protestantism for a stout contest for the faith. It is a most glorious straggle, and the re sults must be important and decisive. The Peel ministry is settled. The conservative party is gone as well as the whig. A new Protestant Christian party, diffused over the whole land, is sprung up into active life at once, and the hustings of the next general election will tell a tale which misrepresentaiives may digest at leisure. CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTON JUNCTION R AIL WAY.-A railway communication for the important mineral and manufacturing districts of Dumbartonshire and country around Lochlomond has been, at length, de termined on, under the above title, through the Glasgow and Garnkirk, which is the connecting link of the Cale donian " railway with Gl asgow. I t w il l supply another arm to the Caledonian system," which promises so many national advantages. The provisional committee, it ap pears from the advertisements, represent a very large amount of local interest, and the stock has been allocated exclusively in t!le district. The line is to be wrought in connexion with the Garnkirk railway, and a minimum dividend of four per cent, is granted by the directors of that company. M AYNOOTH ENDOWMENT UNCALLED FOR.—There is nothing to be said in defence of this unhappy measure on the score either of necessity or of expediency. We do not deny, that the sort of education heretofore bestowed upon the alumni of Maynooth may have been calculated to narrow rather than to enlarge their views of men and things • neither can we questio n th e reasona b leness of the wish which would urge the government to improve it. But has this wish been uppermost in Sir Robert Peel's mind ? Is he bent on creating in the minds of rho 7 .. oung men who shall, i n future, aspire to minist er at I.IIC the y altar of Romanism in Ireland, such habits of thinking as shall induce charity in their sentiments towards their Protest- arm nretnren, and an earnest desire to impress the same high lesson on their flocks ? Then, in the name of com mon sense, why dons he keep them where thee arp czn • . rut to no control, except that of their immediate su perior —liable to no inspection, ex ept by the Roman Ca tholic hierarchy —breathing, day and night, an atmos phere of exclusiveness, and imbibing, at every lesson, draughts from a fountain which is not famous for the sweetness of the waters which it sends forth ? Was this wise tritonrrh, o nnll • as 11 - el/trick is, look ing at the arrangement from the most favourable point of vie*? And when we go farther, where are we ? Sir R. gets no credit, either from friends or foes, for having acted thr ugh any such high sense of right. Both par ties. in this country, believe that his single purpose is to render Ireland more manageable in his own hands than it be; and both parties are convinced. And here, his failure will lie sign; -Fra MANCHESTER AND BOLTON RAILWAY.—OD Satur day, a special general meeting of the company of prc prietors in this railway was held in the Clarendon-rooms s.ntt, contiderinz and de- _ lidatio ....„ _,..... .or amaigatnn n with the Manchester and Leeds at rai io lway, and and conso- to enable the directors to obtain parliamentary powers to carry the amalgamation into effect. There was a nume rous attendance of proprietors. James Branker, chairman of the compan" jeuuvu w me meeting being held in Liverdool was over ruled ; and the chairman read the following, which he said contained the gist of the agreement which it was pro posed to confirm :—" The two companies to be tho roughly amalgamated. The mortgage dt bt of both corn. , panics to become one mortgage debt. The Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Company to receive dividends on their present shares (6.201) at the rate of £7 per share for 1815, and £8 per share for 1846. In 1817, and ever after. wards, the Bolton shares are to be considered as Mat cheitter and Leeds whole shares, receiving, pro ral4, dividends on the amount paid up per share. No further calls to be made upon the Bolton shares until the Mai. Chester and Leeds whole shares are paid up to the £93, and the halves and quarters in the same proportion. Th e Manchester and Leeds sixteenths to be paid up this year, as arranged by that company. Each Bolton share to be entitled to the same amount of new issues of stock ai a Manchester and Leeds whole share, whether for new lires, or by conversion of mortgage debt, or from other ,lew c 'vital. Calls to be made on Bolton shares uniformly with Manchester and Leeds shares, after the latter are paid up to £93 on the whole shares, and in the same .iro. portion on the halves and quarters." Much oppo§tion Was made to the amalgamation by Mr. Price and Mr. Kynaston on the ground that considering the prospects of the Bolton company, a much better bargain might Jaye been made with other parties. The resolution for the ama i gamttion was carrried by:a large majority; and also another, empowering the directors to obtain the necessary parliamentary powers to carry it into effect.

That he is strenuously labouring to bring it about, his language addressed to the Protestants of the North, at the Armagh monster meeting, sufficiently proves.

This ought surely to he warning enough for any man or any minister, who will calmly look at the tendency of his measures and remember the infirmity of the human heart and temper. ,Men will not continue to cling to a ministry, or a legislature, whose promises are written in sand. Difficult, in- veroure observable ituations ; and vegetation, on the whole, is progressing rarely, if not rapidly.

EDITORIAL COMPLIMENTS.—The following very polite paragraph appeared in the Mail of Saturday last:—" In our columns of this day will be found a copy of two let ters addressed to Mr. Ford, on the subject of the fabri cations and perverted statements of the Mercury. The character of the pompous fool who boasts that he is the editor of that feeble print might have excused Mr. Ford from taking any notice of its falsehoods, but, as he has thought otherwise, the evidence he publishes is most com plete." This ought to be a case of " pistol.. for two." We suppose it will only be a case of rival Billingsgate. The following; however, from the Mercury of the pre ceding day is quite sufficient to have put our Saturday's contemporary past his politeness :—" MAIL MORALITY. —The rabid scribe of Liver -court cannot meet our charge of misreporting save by a mere denial, and that, from such a quarter, must go for nothing, even if backed by affidavit.

The fifth and last meeting took place at the Crown an'l Anchor, on Saturday, the same chairman presiding. In th course of the proceedings he read a long letter from Dr. Chalmers, of Edinburgh, calling upon all to unite against the grant. A vast number of clergymen and others ad dressed the meeting. A resolution was passed recording gratitude to God for the character and results df the con ference, and the unanimity that had marked its proceed ings, and for the testimonies forwarded from all parts of the kingdom, and all classes, of determined oppos'tion to the bill.

We understand that at the meeting of the Building Committee of the Common Council, for receiving the tenders for building a Superintendant's office, and also for the alterations in the Workhouse, the tender of Messrs. Furniss and Gilpin for the former, and that of Samuel and James Holme for the latter, were accepted or its interests; for the very great kind ness shown towards the boys under his charge, as visitor; and for his gra tuitous services as treasurer of the society since its com mencement. Mr. Gray, in a feeling manner, returned thanks for the kindness evinced towards him on this occasion, and assured them that as long as he continued to recollect that he had once been an inmate of the Blue Coat School. he would continue to feel that interest he had felt in behalf of the society, the mention of which always gave him great pleasure. The evening's enter tainments were prolonged till about eleven o'clock, when the members separated. The society is composed of per sons who have been educated in the school from which it takes its name, and has for its object the assisting of young boys from the same place, who are now serving as appren tices. Mr, Gray, who was once an inmate, is now, after a faithful career of upwards of fifty years, filling the onerous office of assistant overseer of this parish. SEAMAN'S CLAIM FOR WAGES.—At the police-court, yesterday, a man, named John Linton, who had gone out to Africa as cooper of the ship Silk, and had shipped in July last year, claimed from Messrs. Lovett and Curran, the owners, wages to the amount of £lB 45., alleged to be due to him. According to the claimant's statement, he had performed the voyage out and home, and had ar rived back in this port in January, but had not before applied to Mr. Rushton, he having been very ill from the treatment he had received. He had, he said, gone with some of the crew in the long-boat, and having been de tained by the natives, seven of his companions fell sick and died. lie afterwards became frost-bitten, and had not been able again to go to work until about four weeks but he had appl , ed to the owners on his arrival, and was advised by them to apply to Mr. Rushton. Tbis he had not then done, being so ill. Mr. Rushton said that as he had since been at work for some weeks, he might have applied before now, and before the captain, tolm WOO ----- I. • 1 • oe parish.

As, however, there was no distinct proof that the anew Inat tne whom he had seen on th e quays, about three weeks' ago, captain, was about to go to sea, Mr. Rushton adjourned the hearing of the case until his return ; but as he has again gone to Africa, the probability is that the case will be lost sight of, as the parties may not, in the vicissitudes of a seafaring life, again meet. _ ROBBERY ALTON.

His grace was successively Bishop of Lon don, Archbishop of York, and Archbishop of Canterbury. He was of course the contemporary of John Fox, and had the great advantage of having the firm patronage of the blessed but ill-fated martyr Ridley. If the excellent Archbishop could now inspect the course of education afforded at this imperishable seat of his liberality, he would no doubt rejoice to see his beneficent intentions so religiously observed and so ably carried out. It is, of course, impossible to form any estimate of the advantages spread far and wide by th e y oung men who have ben educated at this school, for they have been congregated there from all parts of the world. • The Collegiate Institution is of comparatively modern date, having been founded about a quarter of a century since by Dr. Law, the then Bis Lop of Chester, who ap pointed the Rev. William Ainger, D.D., formerly fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, and prebendary of Chester, the first Principal of the college. The Doctor engaged as his assistant the Rev. R. Parkinson, who re mained at St. Bees until his appointment to one of the Canonries at- the Collegiate Church, Manchester, the • duties of which the reverend gentleman discharges at present. Dr. Ainger died on the 20th October, 1840, aged 55, having been perpetual curate of the parish for i twenty-four years. A plain tombstone is erected over his ago, grave in the churchyard, and the students who had re ceived his Christian instruction and advice erected within the church a plain marble monument, surmounted by a well-executed bust of the excellent and learned Doctor, whose memory is held in the highest veneration and - spect by every inhabit- - ' eeeish. and exceneee f BETTING AT THE TALBOT LAST -- vi No horses have been backed this evening to a n) li s rli Sorella was backed to £lOO a t 6 t o 4 aga inst Sew Pug seemed i n f avor , b ut not hi ng was done e l )°l i o t She will be ridden by Kitchener, who tailed off I "' Q dis Red Deer last year. 10 to 3 was offered against ria and Sorella.
