•r ~: ,~.,.. Vottrp. THE ELOPEMENT-A TALE. CONTEMPORAI?Y PRESS. POPISH OUTRAGE. (From the Times.) (From the Sunbeam.) The are many rum fellows in village and town, With rum noses dyed red, and rum faces dyed brown; Who wear the peruke, and the full bottomed wig, And that elegant thing like the tail of a pig; Who are busy, and idle, and little, and big— Who are dwarfish and tall, Who squeak and who bawl, But Habakkuk Lynn was the rummest of all! In a neat little house, with neat windows and door, And a garden behind, and a garden before, ~ilwlived on a timeesistitA4se-4-tine is-now o'er, And wilinever, oh! never, return any more. Midst this busy world's din, There's a smile that can win The heart of a man from temptation and sin, And that smile it belonged to Miss Lydia Lynn; It beamed on her father—it beamed on her maid— It beamed on her hooks.e-on the music she played — It beamed on the gardener—it beamed on his spade— And at length the sweet smile most unwillingly strayed To a youth who walked past, Rather slower than fast; And, strangely enough, there it rested and stayed. Mr. Mandeville Jones had dark eyes and dark hair, Dark whiskers, and also a delicate pair Of dark youn g mus tachios—an aquiline nose— A brow like the lily—a cheek like the rose— And teeth which were quite As beauteously white As the paper unsoiled upon which we now write. Ile was five feet ten inches, sans stockings and shoes, And might have enlisted, but he didn't choose, In fact, he was bandsome; and, stranger than funny, Mr. Mandeville Jones had not very much money! 111-natured folks say That he squandered away A very large fortu:e, and say it they may. We only know this—when he first cast his eye On Miss Lydia Lynn, as he strolled slowly by, His pockets were light and his spirits were low, And he knew not, and cared not, which way he should go. Mr. Mandeville Jones made inquiries about, And, with very small trouble, be chanced to find out, That old Mr. Lynn, Though himself very thin, Had strong chests which were lined pretty thickly within; And then he discovered, with praiseworthy care, That Miss Lydia Lynn was her father's sole heir. Very well dressed, And looking his best, One day Mr. Jones became Mr. Lynn's guest; He staid until twelve, and often again Did he dine there, and until the midnight remain; And smoked many a pipe, and played many a rub With Lynn, except once, when Lynn went to his club. And then ! why young Mandeville sat by the side Of Miss Lynn—and he talked, and oft mournfully sighed, Till at last, in a transport, he rose from his seat, And threw himself headlong at Lydia's feet! Already too many love stories have been Written by far, so we'll just close the scene; Suffice it to say That all went the right way, And the lover agreed that he would, the next day, Ask for the consent of Miss Lydia's sire, To the marriage which seemed to be all their desire; And further, if he should destroy their fond hope, They determined, without more ado, TO ELOPU! Mr. Lynn, in peremptory accents denied That his daughter should e'er be young Mandeville's bride. The handsome young pair, in the garden that night, Walked slowly along in the moon's lovely light ; And they smiled pretty often, and whispered away, And some one behind heard young Mandeville say, "The carriage and horses all ready will be, To-morrow night, love, near the sycamore tree, And at ten I expect you, my dearest, to see; And I've found a post-boy who is up to the "spree," And who swears, if he's caught, that he'll eat you and me ! And the lady replied, "Just the thine' to a T!" • • Ten o'clock! Now the carriage rolls over the stones, With Jack Smith, the post-boy, and Mandeville Jones; And they stop at the tree, and Miss Lynn soon appears, And a mantle and hood o'er her figure she wears; And the too happy lover stands quick by the side Of the beautiful girl, his intended young bride. And they quickly get in, and the door is shut—smack ! And Jack Smith mounts, and his whip is heard—crack! And away do they go—horses, carriage, and all, As swift as an arrow, or black cannon ball! " Cheer up, my dear creature," the lover exclaims; " Such an action as ours, the man sins who blames; Your father's a rum un, (your pardon!) and when We return, he will be the most happy of men!" So saying, his right arm he tenderly placed, With a gently-heaved sigh, round the young lady's waist; And quickly he would Have uncovered her hood, But she threw it herself from her head in great haste; Oh! horror, 'twas old Mr. Lynn he embraced', "Stop! Stop ! von curst post-boy !" cried Jones in despair, But his words died away, unheard on the air; " You miserly scoundrel ! you precious old rogue!" • And this to a speech of abuse was prologue, But Habakkuk Lynn laughed loud with his joy, And nothing he said, but "I've caught you, my boy'." Oh! never again was poor Mandeville seen, In the places where once he so often had been ; Mr. Lynn ne'er beheld him since that scene of strife ; And Miss Lydia became a rich wine merchant's wife, And happily lived "all the days of her life!" The Newfoundland Public Ledger of the 19th ult. contains au extraordinary statement, furnished by cor respondents, of an outrage committed on two women by a Roman Catholic priest, designated as " Father Troy." The facts alleged are, that this person, ac companied by another priest, was seen in the act of "barbarously and inhumanly" beating a poor woman; that she fled from him, but was pursued and overtaken, and that on her kneeling to him for mercy in " the name of the Virgin," he " kicked her from one side to the other." The editor of the Public Ledger; in commenting on this case, observes, that it is one by no means unprecedented in that settlement, and that the open and violent personal collision of "certain of the Romish priesthood with the offending members of their flock has been unhappily too notorious." He very properly remarks at the tame time on the conduct of his correspondents, who appear to have stood quietly by, the witnesses of this brutal outrage committed upon a woman, without any sort of interference even by words. The really important feature of the case is, however, the state of manners and government which must exist in the colony of Newfoundland, when neither private individuals nor the public authorities are found to interfere for the prevention of outrages like these by the lower order, for it can be no other, of the Catholic priests, as contrary to law as they are to decency and good order. This notice, it is to be hoped, will produce an admonition, of no very gentle kind, from home. POPISH EI\ ; ICROACHIVIENTS. (From thB Morning Herald.) It should never be forgotten by those who wish to come to a direct judgment upon the fairness of the present claims of the Irish Romanists regarding the Protestant church establishment,. that every act, and every expression of hostility to that establishment by these Romanists, is virtually and practically a giving of the lie to themselves. Perhaps we might not think it necessary to insist upon this, if their present objec tions were urged in a moderate spirit and in the man ner of argument; but when they use the most violent terms of abusive language respecting the establish ment, and utter the fiercest vows of determination that it shall not continue to prevail in Ireland, we are not only justified in reminding them of the real position in which they stand, but called upon to assert that their conduct is no less false and treacherous, than their lan guage is insulting and violent. How happens it that they can now stand up in the House of Commons, and from their places as members of Parliament, fulminate threats of perpetual hostility to the church establishment? How does it come to pass that in the representative house of legislature of the empire—of an empire essentially and fundament ally Protestant—they can rise up and insist that no matter what arrangement the legislatur e may try to effect, the Irish people will never cease from their at titude of hostility, and their tone of menace, until the establishm ent is cut down and put in the position of an inferior sect? The question cannot be fairly and honestly answered without Pronouncing the condem nation of the Romanist leaders, as the most shame lessly. treacnerona body of public men that has dis graced the modern history of Europe. They obtained the privilege of sitting in th e legi s lature bq affirma tions of every degree and kind of solemnity—made in every possible quarter, and persevered in for year af ter year, and parliarnentaft er parliament, that to place them in the legislature world be to secure the Protes tant church establishment from the assaults to which it would otherwise be subject ! We do not pretend that in stating this we state any new thing. The perse vering craft with which the Romt-lists prepared the way for their admission to the legislature is sufficiently notorious; but it has been so unnsu a l a thing in Eng land for men in a public station to chat aside all consi deration of former pledges, to treat the , tnost solemn compacts with scorn, and to force tllemselvt's, without apparently the slightest emotions of shame, into that very position which they had proclaimed that they would never dream of approaching; thi s, w e say, has been in this country so unusual, that when th e I r i sh Romanist leaders do it, the British public think there must have been some mistake about the terms of their admission to parliament. They know that these men are listened to in parliament, and that, instead of be ing scouted from society as monsters of treacherousi ingratitude, and insolent violators of the truth, w ho have placed themselves beyond the pale of even com mon public courtesy, they are welcome to the ministe rial ranks, and official favour bestowed on them with no niggard measure. _Knowing this, the public begin todoubt whether these tempestuous railers against the Protestant establishment can be the very same who• within ten years assured this Protestant empire that their admission, or even admissibility to the legisla ture to the legislature, would be a pledge for the se curity of the establishment, to which they would be bound alike by a sense •of gratitude and a sense of duty. There is, however, no doubt of the fact—and it ought to animate every Protestant subject of the Bri tish monarch t o i n di gnant res i stance o f R oman i st hos tility to the established church—that the persons who are foremost in this hostility, who indulge in the fiercest language of hatred regarding the establish ment, and most insultingly demand its complete de struction, are the very same persons who treacherously pretended that if they, and the Romanists generally, were made eligible to sit in parliament, the established church in Ireland would be no longer disturbed. It is not our object to contend that, because the Ro man Catholics have been emancipated, abuses should be allowed to remain in the Protestant church. God forbid! But every sincere and conscientious man must see how wide the difference is between a reform in which rights are considered and the constitution of the country respected, and a destructive change, urged on by the violence of palpably treacherous men, and de-• manded, not in a spirit of desire for improvement, but of lust for vengeance. We do not see how there can be even a single thoughtful person, of Protestant principles, who can be free from alarm, indignation, and even shame, at the shocking exhibition of violence and treachery by the Romanist politicians of the day—at the continued bat tery of excitements and delusions by which the Ro manist political conspirators against the Protestant empire of Great Britain seek to overthrow the old principles and habitual feelings of this land. We are sure that no honest Protestant does his duty, who does not, within whatever sphere lie is capable of influen cing, hold up to just indignation the malignant treach ery with which British institutions are, by these con spirators, continually assailed. WHIG BLUNDERING. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The ignorance, precipitation, and utter incompe tence of ministers to do any act of statesmanship aright, is visible in the meanest details of,civil, fiscal, or municipal arrangement, just as much as in the higher matters of policy, principle, and good govern ment. The Irish Municipal Boundaries Bill affords a precious illustration. In the English Municipal Boundaries Bill, the mi nistry conceived the very possible case, that the new boundaries of the corporations and the old might not be conterminous—and, accordingly, provided that all portions cut off by it from the old municipalities should belong to the respective adjoining counties. In the Irish Bill no such provision has been made— whole districts have been excised from the corporate territories—in some instances so large as 64 square miles, and they have been provided for in no earthly way ; they are to belong neither to the county nor the corporation, and, consequently, to have no local laws, no police, no magistrates, no taxes, but to be paved, lighted, and watched by the interposition of Provi dence. Is . not this capital ? FELICE.-BY THE AUTHOR OF "REMINISCEN CES OF A MONTHLY NURSE." (From the Sunbeam.) FATHER ! may I come in ?" said a gentle voice at the door of old Siward's chamber, who lived near Florence, and was known by the name of " The Astrologer." "Stay one moment, until I unbar the door," answered the aged man. "There, I have just finished thy horoscope, my child, and thy fate and mine will soon be sealed." " Leave Heaven to work out its own design, dear father," said the youth, kissing the hand of the aged speculator ; "your cheek is grown very pale from thesemidnight watchings, and lam impatient, too, at being so much alone. When will you take me again to the Pitti Gallery, at Florence, and let me see once more those glorious paintings ?" " I regret, Felix, that I ever submitted you to such wild imagining, as those works of vanity have engendered; but for them you would never have thought of being a painter.'.' " Say not so, my dear father," said the impassioned youth ; " I was born an artist—visions of beauty swam before my mental eyes, groups of celestial loveliness I dreamed of long before I contemplated the embodying forth of such images by those great masters, whose deathless works I witnessed there." "You probably never would have taken a pencil in hand, Felix, but for that hazardous visit to Florence," replied the Astrologer. "And should I have been less an artist, father, then, than now? Does not the conception more than the execution con stitute the true one? If any imagination has ever presented to me equal images of brightness and of beauty, am I not a child of genius as much as Raphael, Guido, and . Correggio ?" " Rest then content," said the old man, smiling at seeing that he had now entangled the boy; "what need have you, then, to contemplate outward works of divine art, that have such F lo wing pictures in the depths of your own mind." " ather, that is unfair," said Felix, reddening with vexa tion ; " I would be an artist to others as well as to myself. I would learn from those great men the mechanical part of the art; how to bring out, upon the canvas, the ideas that spring up within me. Look at that Madonna and child of.mine— vividly and gloriously as they sprang up within my fancy, equal in conception to any 1 have seen in Florence, perhaps exceeding them, for spirit is more perfect in her operations than matter, yet what wretched work have I made of them now 1 have brought them forth! The colouring is bad; the expression odious ; the drapery horrid. I must study, father, or I shall never be a painter—that is, for others. When will you take me again to Florence ?" "This is very strange," said Siward, musingly, to himself. " How every thing concurs to work out the designs of Destiny! All converging to a point! It were vain attempting to in terrupt the course prescribed! Have I not read it there ?" and the aged man, (more bent, it seemed, by watching and by grief than years,) cast his eyes up towards the stars that shone in upon them from the glazed observatory in which they sat, resembling almost a lantborn perched on the summit of the old house in which this interesting couple lived. "There you go again, dear father," said Felix, with some slight shade of impatience in his manner; "nothing but the stars! the everlasting stars ! I have been alone all this day, and yesterday also, because you told me you were busy calcu lating my horoscope, and now it is finished you are looking up to them again. I wish—" "Not that the stars should be extinguished, Felix ! Any thing but that. They are the eternal books, nothing but God himself can destroy, and only a few gifted ones can read. The language of those brilliant volumes, Felix, cannot be taught in any of the colleges, nor have we dictionaries where with to interpret their meaniug; yet are they true and infal lible, as is their Maker. I said not that I had quite finished my diagram respecting thee. There is another point, a cal culation respecting time, I would yet. learn—all the rest is done." " Nay, come below stairs now," still pressed the youth ; "you have eaten nothing to-day, and I am faint and hungry also, for I have had the mouth of the Madonna in and out a hundred times within the last twelve hours, and still it is awry. Come down to supper, and take me, to-morrow, again to Florence." "Another effort to fulfil his destiny !" murmured Siward to himself ; then, speaking aloud, be said, looking fondly in his young companion's face, " to morrow, beloved Felix, thou shalt have thy wish ; prepare thy most gallant attire, and bestir thyself betimes. Let Marco have every thing in order; the mules in their gay harness, and he in his holiday jerkin. We will away my boy to Florence and to—." The last word died away between his teeth, or rather it never had birth. Laying his hand on the dark brown ringlets of the graceful youth, he fervently blessed him, and they descended together to eat the omelette old Marco had prepared for them. At the dawn of day, Felix adorned himself in a gay Venetian suit of dark blue velvet, the old gentleman in a handsome one of brown, Marco had not forgotten due embellishment to him self and mules; the calash was in excellent order, with plenty of viands stowed away in the depths of its fair proportions. After carefully locking the door of his observatory, and giving directions to the sage Therese, his only female domestic, Si ward and his son proceeded on their way to Florence. "And will you take me to the celebrated ' Hall of Anacreon,' my dear father?" said Felix, when they were in sight of the Arno and the superb palaces of Florence. "To the Hall of Anacreon, Felix ! you know not what you ask." "Oh ! how delighted I am," said the youthful Felix; throw ing back the redundant ringlets that shaded his glowing coun tenance; "how charmed am L to find that even the divine Raphael himself, at first, could not bring out his own brilliant conceptions much better than myself. Look, dear father, at that St. John of his, painted when be was a pupil of Perugino. See how cold its colours, how stiff its design, how hard its outline. Now look at this St. John, by the same artist, when he had profited by the lessons of Michael Angelo, and had studied the works of Leonardo da Vinci. Here is beauty-- here is grace—every thing that is delightful. Have I not made out my argument, dear father, of last evening ?" Hush, Felix, my beloved ! every eye in the gallery is gazing on you," whispered Siward to his young companion. " What care I for stupid gazers?" demanded Felix, with increased animation; " How can they spare their eyes for any sight but these? Look at that Giacondi of Da Vinci; that Magdalene of Corregio; that Cleopatra of Guido; that—'' "Was there ever anything on earth so beautiful as that boy's face?" asked a young English gentleman of an elderly one, on whose arm he leaned. " Do you mean the Narcissus yonder, of Titian 3" replied the one addressed. "It is certainly extremely fine !" "My dear uncle! can you look at nothing but pictures ?" quickly demanded the former speaker; "after all, these boasted works of art are but faint copies of the works of na ture• What landscape of your favourite Claude even can equal those sceues we have just visited ? what painting of Raphael, or of Titian, can approach the animation and exquisite love liness of that living, breathing Ganymede yonder ?" " Ganymede !" said the old earl, for such he was, "1 see no Ganymede; you forget," he continued with a pensive smile, "my dear Seymour, that Jove ran away with that beautiful boy many years ago ; he must be a very old man now, with a grey beard and sunken eyes—perhaps on crutches." "They never grow old in Olympus, you know, my dear sir," continued the younger man; "so I presume his godship has brought the exquisiteyouth back again to earth, fur never be fore have I seen anything so perfect!" "You rave, Seymour," said Lord S—, " I see no such form." " Because that tall woman, with that horrid plume of feathers, intercepts your sight. Look there !" " Merciful God !" said the peer, turning deathly pale, " who is that lovely youth? Seymour, lend me your arm; a sudden sickness has seized me." And he retired to a distant bench and sank down upon it. "The stars have told me true !" murmured the old man whom they called Astrologer. "All my calculations are right. I have nothing to do but to sit down and watch the completion of the work ! Yet are not they the cause of all the intrica cies of human life. They are but the mirrors in which the Eternal glasses himself, or rather his operations, for to us he is invisible, save in his works. Felix ! my child, let us go hence to-day, for I am weary; to-morrow we will visit this gallery again." And the father and the son retired to their hotel. "I am recovered now, Seymour," said L—; "let us have another peep at your Ganymede ; shall I own my weak ness ? There was so striking a resemblance in that boy's fea tures, to the only ones I ever loved, that it has set my heart in a tumult such as I can scarcely describe. I feel both pain and pleasure—but I must see that boy again." "I fear, sir, we must wait foranother opportunity, for he is not in the gallery," said the nephew. " I think he is a stu dent, from the ardour. of his admiration of the paintings, anal his intense study of their handling; we shall be sure to see him here again." " It may be so," replied L—, mournfully ; "but such faces as that are seldom seen below, and then they tarry not Long, Alas , t "Come, Coam h il e ,b p i r m o y totype or that young seraph we have just p ' ass'ed like a vision before my sight, and was seen no more speetions. dear uncle, we will have no sad retro e thoughts must be left in our dear, old misty England, and 1 trust they will be buried there before our return."

'To-morrow we will begin the chase of this ytAing, boy-artist, and when we have caught him, we will carry him with us to England. You shall be his patron,and I his friend_he shall become a pupil of the Royal Academy, and hear all the lectures of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Have you, by the bye, seen the portrait of the president here at Florence ? I assure you it is very like him. Let me show it you now." And they went out to "The Hall of Portraits," full of the likenesses of eminent artists, in which hall Sir Joshua Reynolds most justly had a place. His portrait is still there. "Can you obtain permission for me to copy that Leda, father, whilst we stay here, and that Choice of Paris, by Guido, and that Madonna and Child of Raphael, which, I must confess„ is better executed than mine ?" " Why how long in'all conscience, Felix, do you think of staying here, that you want to commence so many copies?" " How long, my dear father ! puzzle me not with that question. I wish we had never learned the art of computing time at all; it only throws fetters round the immortal spirit! Why cannot we do as the birds in the air do, never think of time at all; they sing till they are weary, rise up when the light dawns, and go to bed when their eves are heavy ; they care neither for seed time nor harvest, and anticipate no old age or death." All this is the effect of the strange education I have given you, Felix! You know as little of the world as your own Java sparrows," and the old man sighed. " Shut up with a recluse like me, who had-no happiness but looking in thy sweet face, and in those of the stars, scarcely brighter than thy own." " Did I dream it, father ?" enquired Felix thoughtfully, after a pause, "or was it in one of those imaginary pictures am ever painting, that once 1 lived in a lovely spot where fountains played, and there a as a quantity of g old and silver fish in a white marble bason ? Surely it must be so." "Why do you ask me that question now, Felix? Had you ever such a thought before?" asked Siward. "Never, till yesterday; when, looking at the fountain of the Lion's Head here at Florence, it semed to strike some chord long silent in my memory. It seemed as if I had in my infancy stood beneath the sprinkling of the waters com ing from the mouth and nostrils of an enormous sea-horse ; and then, too, I seemed to recollect that I had often fed with bread some beautiful fishes that lived in a small marble lake or reservoir. I suppose the whole was but fancy's sketch!" "No, Felix," said his father, impressively and sadly; "the fountain of the colossal sea-horse, and the marble vase in whieh fish disported, were both realities." " I could have sworn so," answered Felix : "they have come out so in strong relief since we have been talking of them. The pictures of the imagination generally fade away as do the colours of a rainbow." " Do you recollect nothing else of early associations but this fountain and this marble bason, Felix'?" asked Siward, fixing his Penetrating dark eye upon him. " Oh yes, but I had better not tell you of it, father," said the youth, with a look of much embarrassment. "And why not, my child ? Speak openly." "Because," answered Felix, hesitating, "I once before, yes, many years ago, happened to tell you of this remem brance, (as I thought it,) when it threw you, father, into the most dreadful agitation, nay, of anguiSh. You were very ill in consequence, and so I resolved never to allude to the thing again." " Dear, amiable child !" said Siward, fondly, "I can bear it now. Tell me of your remembrance." "1 am afraid to trust you, father," said Felix, playfully; " I am not sure that you calculate so well about your own feelings as about the stars, you know—there you are infia lible !" and an arch smile hovered upon that perfect lip. "Thou sayest right there, boy, they are infallible !" re sponded the father; "and that shall be fully proved; but I must have my question answered, sly Felix! You would lead me from my point, by talking of heaven's books, to me their seer. I have found out the pious fraud. Come, tell me." " Dust thou command me, father ?" said the youth, sub. missively. "Ave, my heart's darling! I wish it, and that has ever been as a command to thee." "I recollect then," said the youth, sinking on his knee on a small stool that stood close to Siward, and with a height ened colour on his cheek, "yes, I recollect my mother." " What was she like?" inquired the old man, much agi tated. " Like one of Guido's angels," and the boy looked in spired. " She was indeed," said Siward fervently, "and she was to have been my own; but an Englishman, a British peer, saw her and stole her from me. He possessed the original. I found an opportunity, and I stole from him the copy. Thou art her perfect resemblance—and the sight of thee, from in fancy upward, has saved my reason. Fearful of losing my treasure, I disguised thee as a boy, and kept thee secretly within my secluded home. I need not tell thee how I have loved thee, Felice, for that is thy woman's name." "Then thou art not my father, and I am an orphan indeed," cried the weeping Felix, throwing himself into Siward's arms. " The stars say otherwise, my beloved !" said the old man, emphatically ; "thy true father and thy future husband were both in the same room with thee yesterday. They are seek ing thee at this moment, and I must not stop the workings of destiny; but thou must promise to give me a copy of thyself, and her thy future offspring. Promise! said I ? It is decreed." And all turned out as Siward said. Lord L reco vered his only child ; her cousin, Seymour, married her, and Siward claimed, as exclusively his own, the second child born of that union, but he carried it not to Italy, but lived with it in England, and made it his heir. THE REVOLUTION OF 1688. (Continued from the Standard of Tuesday.) But there was yet another innovation needed to render the privileges of the Commons efficient as a check upon the executive power. It was of little service for them to hold the strings of the national purse, or to prescribe the uses to which the national revenue should be applied, without being enabled to ascertain whether their bounty had in truth been applied to the assigned purpose. In 1666 the- ill success of the Dutch war, after the lavish grants of parliament, begot a suspicion in the public mind, that, in spite of the stringent clauses to which we have already adverted, some, if not the greater part, of the moneys voted for carrying on the war, had been otherwise employed. Under this impression, the Commons appointed a committee to examine and report upon the accounts of the officers of the navy and ordnance, which the King directed should be submitted to their in spection. But this committee was found of very' little ser vice, probably because it did not possess the power of admi nistering an oath. A bill was therefore introduced into the Commons, and which ultimately passed into a law, appointing certain individuals commissioners for inquiring into the de tails of the public expenditure, and requiring them annually to report the result of their investigations to both houses of parliament. Clarendon informs us that he had most strongly counselled the King never to consent to any measure of this kind; and Mr. Wingrove Cooke's honest and patriotic friend, Lord Ashley, is known to have tendered the same advice. Our knowledge of Charles's character justifies us in suppo sing that it was some urgent necessity, real or apparent, which forbade his refusal to assent to this bill, for it is indeed impossible to conceive any measure more repugnant to his natural disposition. Inheriting the high notions of his fa mily respecting kingly dignity, it was offensive to his feelings that subjects should venture to arrogate to themselves the right of examining his officers, and inquiring into the appli cation of his revenue. It wounded his pride as well as thwarted his designs; it degraded him iu his own estimation to the level of a Venetian doge or a IJutch stadtholder— robbed him of the essential attributes, the accustomed power, of royalty. On figne occasion he expressed his feelings on this subject to Lord Essex; he said that he did not wish to be like the grand seignor, surrounded with mutes and bags of bowstrings, to strangle men at his pleasure, " but he did think be was not a king so long as a company of fellows were looking into all his actions, and examining all his mi nisters, as well as all his accounts." Essex might have re plied in the words which Scott has placed in the mouth of Buckingham in reference to a different subject, " Spoken like a royal king, sir; but, pardon me, not like a King of England." 11. However we may lament the spirit of intemperance and faction which the Long Parliament of 1740 displayed throughout the greater part of their career, we must still ad mit that they were eminently distinguished by a zealous at tachment to those privileges of the House of Commons, which render it so valuable a branch of our constitutional government. But their successors, in 1661, were in no way inferior to them in this respect. At no period of our history were those privileges more boldly asserted or more vigorously en forced. To this period may be assigned the origin of that great doctrine so eminently characteristic of our constitu tion—the doctrine of ministerial responsibility—that doc trine which, by rendering the, advisers of the Sovereign ac countable to parliament for the justice and policy of all the measures emanating from the crown, has secured the na tional liberties without inducing that confusion and disorder which the personal responsibility of the Sovereign would necessarily occasion. Never was the privilege of impeach ment so frequently exercised as by this parliament; indeed, S 3 much so, that a writer on our constitution observes, that in many cases it is difficult to suspect them of having in view more than the mere assertion of their right. The first instance in which a minister of tne crown became the object of impeachment in this parliament was in the case of the chancellor, the famous Earl of Clarendon. This impeachment was the work of the tory party, and from the articles of charge upon which it was founded, we may derive some information respecting the principles and views of that party in those times. The chief offences with which Claren don was charged were, that he had advised the King to govern by military power without parliament ; that he had introduced an arbitrary government into the plantations; that he had procured many of the King's subjects to be im prisoned against law in remote islands and garrisons, to pre vent their having the benefit of the law ; and that he had, advised the sale of Dunkirk. However, viewing this sub ject with the calm partiality which the remoteness of the times enables us to exercise, we may question the policy of thus driving from the cabinet the least corrupt and most en lightened of the statesmen that then surrounded the throne; however we may condemn the factious spirit frequentlyhe trayed during the progress of this impeachment, or be inclined to consider as unfounded many of the charges brought against the chancellor; we must remember that it is not in reference to the motives of individuals that this event is to be viewed. It is remarkable, as an instance of a House of Com mons whose principles' and feelings alike disposed them to support the throne and its councillors dragging to the bar of public justice a minister of that crown, simply because he had, in their view, proved himself the friend of arbitrary and unconstitutional government. Let the detractors of this par liament say what they may—stigmatise it with every epithet the dictionary of party abuse may furnish—this fact stands upon record ; and the inferences which this fact affords, though they may be denied, cannot be really disproved. Hear a competent witness speak to the results of Clarendon's impeachment, "The most fatal blow," says James 11. in his memoirs, "the King gave himself to his power was, when he sought aid from the House of Commons to destroy the Earl of Clarendon; by that he put that House again in mind of their impeaching privilege, which had been wrested out of their hands by the restoration; and when ministers found they were likely to be left to the censure of the parliament it made them have a greater attention to court an interest there than to pursue that of their princes, from whom they hoped not for so sure a support." In the year 1675—that unhappy year when the disgraceful cabal ministry were in full feather —actuated by the same attachment to‘constitutional freedom, with a boldness which the magnitude of the danger demanded, the Commons addressed the throne, denouncing the " evil counsellors" with which it was surrounded, and to whose pernicious policy they imputed the corruption which pervaded the whole government. They charged the cruel and blood thirsty Lauderdale with having asserted that "the King's edicts were of equal authority to laws," and prayed the King to remove him from his councils and presence, for having avowed doctrines so irreconcilable with the existence of a limited monarchy. They impeached the Duke of Bucking. ham ; nor was Lord Arlington permitted to escape. We may record, in a word, t he result of this proceeding. Buckingham and Arlington were dismissed the cabinet, and Lauderdale, for whom the King had an especial regard, was compelled to confine his attention solely to the affairs of Scotland. We may, therefore, number amongst the achievements of the tory parliament that it destroyed that base and unprincipled ministry whose existence was so disgraceful to the King. and whose policy proved so injurious to the country. Their name has passed into our language as a svnonyme of mean and despicable conspiracy. The impeachment of Thomas Os borne, Earl of Danby, next deserves our attention. This minister bad always distinguished himself by his zealous opposition to the French interest; and we owe to him the marriage of the Princess Mary with the Prince of Orange, from which such important consequences flowed in aftertimes. It was to this that he owed his fall. At Louis's instigation, Montagu, the English ambassador to France, laid before the House of Commons a despatch he had received from Denby, instructing him to propose that Charles should remain neuter in the war between France and the Dutch, on consideration of a certain sum. To this despatch was subjoined a post script, written and signed by the King himself, stating it was by his orders the despatch was written. Danby had therefore for his defence the plea that be had only obeyed the orders of his master; and there can be no doubt that this was strictly true. In impeaching him, therefore, with the full knowledge of this fact, the commons virtually denied, that the express command of the' Sovereign justified a minister in pursuing a policy degrading or injurious to his country. The House of Commons displayed also a very reasonable jealousy of any interference of the crown with the f. eedom of elections. Shaftesbury, when chancellor, issued writs during a proroga tion of the house, for supplying some vacancies which had occurred—the usual course being for the speaker to issue his warrant to the clerk of the crown, by whom the writs are prepared, and• forwarded to the chancellor for the purpose of being sealed. Shaftesbury was induced to take this unusual course, in order to get some creatures of his own returned. The House of Commons, however, resolved that all elections in pursuance of such writs were void. We may, perhaps, as well notice in this place, just to show how little they were entitled to the epithet of " courtly," that when they were informed of the intended marriage of the Duke of York with a Modenese princess they addressed the crown, praying that the duke might not be married to any person not of the pro testant faith. Upon this the King prorogued them for a week, and upon their re-assembling informed them that the marriage was already completed. Upon which they resolved that, unless the obstinacy . of the Dutch should require it, they would entertain the question of a supply until the kingdom was secured from the dangers of popery. They then agreed upon another address against the marriage, to which the King replied by a prorogation. 111. Two years after the restoration, Charles attempted to assume a power entirely inconsistent with the character of a constitutional sovereign. He issued a proclamation dispen sing with the penalties to which certain acts of parliament had subjected those who did not conform to the established church. In this proclamation, as well as in the speech from the throne at the opening of the next session of parliament, he insinuated a right of suspending the execution of all eccle siastical laws, by virtue of his authority as supreme head of the church. This bold assumption of legislative power met with a spirited resistance from the tory commons, who ad dressed the King in a firm but respectful tone, assuring him that ecclesiastical laws " could not be dispensed with but by act of parliament."—( Comm. foam. 27th Feb. 1662.) The King did not then persist in the attempt. Ten years after wards, however, prompted by the evil genius of Shaftesbury, he issued a proclamation conceived in a still bolder spirit, by which he suspended all penal laws against recusants and non-conformists, in mentioning this proclamation in his speech to parliament, the King declared, in very positive terms, his determination to abide by it. " I will deal very plainly with you," he said; " I am resolved to stick to my declaration." The commons were not daunted by this angry language. By a large majority they agreed to an address, remonstrating with him upon his conduct; upon which he replied, that he claimed no right which was no warranted by law. They . still persisted in their opposition, and the King, after in vain appealing to the lords for their assistance, ter minated the controversy by cancelling the declaration. • IV. The tory party have always displayed the greatest jealousy of a standing army. This spirit betrayed itself during the parliament of 1661 in a very remarkable mner. At the eO time when a Dutch fleet had sailed up the Thames, and threatened the metropolis itself, the King hastily assembled a large army, and immediately convoked the parliament, which then stood prorogued to a later day. Upon their meet ing, and previously to the King delivering his speech, the commons voted an address, praying that when a peace should be concluded the newly-riled forces might be disbanded ; upon which Charles forthwith prorogued them. In 1673 they voted the standing army "to be a grievance." Five years after this, the King having send down a message to the house, asking for supplies for the maintenance of the army, the commons directly voted that the greater part of the forces should be at once disbanded; and afterwards resolved that they would entertain no new motion for a supply that session. The jealousy which the tories have in every period of their history displayed upon this point has arisen, " partly froin a regard," Mr. Hallam is good enough to admit, " to the ancient usage of the constitution ; partly, no doubt," he is pleased to add, " from a factious or disaffected spirit." The liberality of this sentiment is in every respect worthy of a " liberal." V. In reference to their policy with respect to the establish ed church, we cannot consider the parliament as meriting the severe censure passed on it by the whig writers. The act of uniformity, which they have regarded as the very climax of intolerance, was, in truth, a measure rendered absolutely necessary by the times; to it we are indebted for the very existence of our church. It would have been a glaring ab surdity, not to say a prolific source of dissension and scandal, had the pulpits of the church continued to be filled by those who had declared her corrupt in her doctrines, idolatrous in her worship, and superstitious in her ceremonies. We do not deny that there were in this act, as in others passed by this parliament in relation to the church, some provisions which the enlightened of modern times would be disposed to condemn; provisions conceived in a narrow and illiberal spirit, but a spirit belonging to the age, and not peculiar to the church. In truth, toeration was in those days rather the Shibboleth of party, the war-cry of faction, than a principle to be carried out into practical operation. After all, the struggle was for supremacy; nothing less would have con tented either the churchman or the dissenter; and, virtually, the question which the parliament had to decide was, to which of the two that supremacy should be awarded. Well and wisely for themselves and for posterity did they deter mine this question. But this House of Commons afforded very striking proofs that their zeal for the church was tem pered"with discretion. In an act passed in the first session, for the purpose of restoring to the spiritual courts certain powers which the usurpation bad wrested from them, a clause was inserted declaring that •nothing in that act contained should be construed as reviving the obnoxious court of high commission, which had caused so much scandal to the church in the reign of Charles I.; nor as confirming the canons of 1640, which had proved no less mischievous. We may re gard in an equally favourable light the discontinuance of the practice formerly pursued of taxing the clergy by means of the convocation. It was during this parliament that the alteration was effected, and the clergy have ever since been taxed by the commons, in the same manner as the rest of the community. Whatever the established church had to apprehend from presbyterian or independent, still greater was the danger with which she was threatened from the insiduous hostility of the catholic party. In this juncture it was to the wisdom and virtue of the tory commons that she was indebted for her safety. To that wisdom and to that virtue we owe our liberties, our laws, possibly our existence, as an independent people. The test act, that bulwark of the protestant faith, was the great work of this parliament. Carried in the teeth of a powerful and united faction, who were supported by the Roman catholic party, and headed by the King and the heir apparent, this wise and vigorous measure may he regarded as a sufficient refutation of the calumnies so unsparingly heaped upon the memory of the " courtly, pensioned parliament." Beneficial as it proved in its ultimate effects, its immediate consequences were eminently advantageous. It drove the Duke of York from the admiralty, compelled Clifford to re sign the high treasurer's staff, and taught the King that it was by force and violence alone he could hope to accomplish his design, and to establish the catholic faith on the ruins of the protestant church. We have now, we trust, redeemed our pledge. We have shown that the tory parliament ,of 1661, upon whose wads the whig historians have poured the vials of their wrath, asserted and established the chief of those principles which have been denominated "the principles of the revolution." We say established, and we say so advisedly. We say esta blished, be c ause it was their influence which, surviving ten years of faction and oppression, at last precipitated the tyrant from his throne. For what was the plea by which, during the very agony of the revolution, its authors justified the expulsion of the King? They contended that James had endeavouired to subvert the protestant faith, and the laws and liberties of his subjects. And in what acts was this endeavour manifested? In his attempt to suspend laws, and the execution of laws; in his levying and appropriating money in other manner than was directed by parliament; in maintaining a standing army; in violating the freedom of elections, and in re-establishing a court which parliament had expressly abolished; in short, in trampling upon those very principles which were established, as we have already seen, by the tory Tiarliament of 1661. We say, then, that to this parliament we owe whatever benefits the revolution has produced. Had they not established these principles the expulsion of James would have been no more a justifiable act than was the deposition of his father The grand dis tinction, putting aside the motives of the parties, between the revolution, fitly called the rebellion, of 1640, and the revoluti.on of 1688. was, that i n th e one case th e Ki ng exer cised powers which, - as a prudent man, he should not have exercised ; in the other case, the King violated the laws and priuciples of the constitution of the country, and endea voured to convert a free government into an absolute des potism. - • We are happy in the opportunity that has been afforded us of rescuing (as we trust to have done) the memory of this parliament from the obloquy and contempt in which faction bad involved it, and, by recording the services it has ren dered to the cause of 'oar constitution, of displaying it iu its true character—as the friend of rational freedom, and of the good order by which that freedom is preserved and extended. SELECT EXTRACTS. CHILDREN.-Dr. Arbuthnot used to say, men might talk what they pleased of the safe conveyance of tradition ; but it was no where preserved pure and uncorrupt but amongst children, whose customs and plays, he observed, were deli vered down invariably from one generation to another. A LITERARY MEssENGEP..---A servant girl presented her self at a libraq in a neighbouring town, and asked the man of books if he had any " rats' tails," for her mistress wanted two or three. She was answered, that there were no com modities of the kind kept there; but that, if she chose, she would have " Cratibe's Tales." " Ou, I kent it was some queer beast's tails! Ye can jist gi'e me them. The ane will be as gude as the ither, I wad think." CHINESE CORONATION.-At the coronation of the Em perors of China, it was customary to present them with seve ral sorts of marbles of different colours, by the hand of a mason, who was then to address the new emperor to this purpose—" Choose, mighty sir, under which of these stones your pleasure is that we should lay your bones." They brought him patterns of his grave-stone, that the prospect of death might confine his thoughts within the due bounds of modesty and moderation in the midst of his new honours. LONDON.—There is no place in the world which humbles a man in his own estimation so much as London. It is all very well to hold our heads high in the country, and to fancy that we are persons of very great importance; but let any one who entertains such notions be set down in Cheapside, at four o'clock in the afternoon, and in the midst of that hurrying, driving mass of intelligence, and he will feel him self as a mere atom—almost a nonentity. The metropolis is the great reservoir of talent—from all parts of this vast empire it gravitates to London; there the master hands are em ployed ; there the master minds are busied in conceiving and presenting to the world their beautiful creations; there the shallow pretender is exposed, and the inflated and prestiming speedily find their level ; inferior abilities are thrust aside to make room for the crowd of aspirants to excellence in every department of occupation, whether of a physical or of a moral character.—Sunbeam• THE BOA CONSTRICTOR.—The velocity with which the boa darts on his prey, not only overturns it, but hurls his own body in advance of his head, and thus forms the first coil, the rest of his length being rapidly turned at the same tim e . Lieut. Hutton introduced a full-grown buck-rabbit into the den of the largest snake. The rabbit eyed the monster in evident uneasiness, with his ears thrown back, and nose elevated, and stamping firmly with his hind feet on the f l oor. The snake, in the mean time, was incessantly brandishing his long-forked tongue, and gradually opening out the close drawn coils of his body, in order to give himself room for the deadly spring. His head then slowly and almost impercept ibly glided forward over the upper coil towards the rabbit, which intently eyed every movement of his foe. In an in stant, and with a suddenness which made me start, the snake dashed forward; but, to my surprise, the rabbit eluded his grasp, by springing over him. With a loud threatening hiss, the boa sullenly gathered himself into his corner, where he lay still for an instant, with his head still pointing towards the rabbit. Not liking the position, the poor buck turned to move away, and th a t movemen t decided- his fate ; for with the speed of lightning, both snake and rabbit rolled in a fast embrace, with a heavy crash against the side of the cage. The boa had seized his victim by a fore leg, with one coil round the throat, so closely drawn, that the eyes seemed starting from the sockets; a second coil was thrown round the body, immediately below the shoulders, and another round the loins. So instantaneous was the spring, that not even onescry escaped the rabbit ; and though the last con vulsive motion of the hind legs was strong enough to shake the boa, it lasted but a few minutes, and all was over. For some seconds after life had, to all appearance, fled, the snake still held his firm position, as if to allow no chance of escape, and proceeded first to disengage his teeth from the bold he had taken, and then to uncoil from the neck; with the re maining coil he still held fast.—Asiatic Journal. * b ipping,Entelif genre.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 12. The market continues in a dull state, the sales yesterday were 2,500 bags, and to-d a y th ere are 3,000 so ld.—P r i ces are w ith ou t change. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 12. There appears to be some little suspension in the inquiries after Butter, yesterday and to-day; buyers not liking to submit to the advanced rates, whieh holders rather firmly demand. The very genial weather, however, that we now experience must soften the latter into compliance.—Pickled Butter as noticed in our last.— Good Bacon, of a favourite cure, readily commands 525. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JULY 9. The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been much the same as last week, but that of Sheep and Lambs was considerably smaller. Good Beef may be quoted at from 6d to 61d, inferior quality a shade less; good Wether Mutton sold at about 61d, ordinary quality and Ewes 6d, and Lamb at about 61d per lb. The market, upon the whole, for both Beasts and Sheep, may be con sidered brisk, the Beasts being principally all sold up, and but few Sheep and Lambs left unsold at the close of the market. Number of Cattle at market ; Beasts, 914; Sheep and Lambs, 9,121. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 10. Some very heavy thunder show have fallen partially over this district during the past week, which farther than impeding the operations of hay-making, now generally commencing, leave done no injury and the weather on the whole has been favourable for all agricultural produce. The importations have been moderate since Tuesday last, and little or no alteration can be noticed in the prices then quoted for every article in the trade, although they have been obtainable, and the transactions have been very limited here and in all the Lancashire and Yorkshire markets. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign Ports this week is a decrease of Is per quarter on Wheat, and 70 per brl. on Flour, with every prospect of a similar further decline in the duty of those two articles next week. Some further parcels of Foreign Wheat in bond, and on the passage have changed hands, of various qualities, at about the prices of the preceding week : also European sweet Flour at fully last quotations, and of American sour Flour at is per b arre l higher ;• in other kinds of Grain in bond little has been done, and no variation can be stated in prices. —At this days' market there was a very good attendance of millers and dealers, who bought to a moderate extent of Wheat chiefly of English, and of the finest Irish qualities, of Flour also at fully last quotations. There was a more active inquiry for Oatmeal which has been long below its propor tionate value, but at no better prices, and in some instances 6d per 2401 b., less was taken ; for Oats and all other Grain there was very little demand, and no alteration can be noted in the value thereof.

Several vessels laden with Oats, from Ireland, and a few cargoes of Foreign Wheat, have arrived since Friday last; but of all other kinds of Grain the fresh supplies have been very inconsiderable. In consequence of the weather continuing remarkably fine, the trade generally rated extremely dpll. The few samples of fine Wheat on sale realised the prices of Monday. In Barley. Beans, and Peas there was little doing, and prices did not vary. The de mand for Oats was very limited, and where sales were forced in order to clear vessels, a reduction of 6d per quarter was submidted to. The demand for bonded Wheat has greatly subsided, and the recent advanced rates cannot now be obtained. LATEST DATES AT LIVERPOOL.. From Direct. Indirect. From Direct. f Indirct . Calcutta ..
